1 Public health is what we, as a society, do collectively
to assure the conditions for people to be healthy. This requires
that continuing and emerging threats to the health of the public
4 be successfully countered. These threats include immediate
crises, such as the AIDS epidemic; enduring problems, such as
injuries and chronic illnesses; and growing challenges, such as
7 the aging of the populations and the toxic by-products of a
modern economy, transmitted through air, water, soil, or food.
These and many other problems raise in common the need to
10 protect the nation’s health through effective, organized, and
sustained efforts led by the public sector.

1 The difficulty for health policy makers the world overis
this: it is simply not possible to promote healthier lifestyles
through presidential decree or through being overprotective
4 towards people and the way they choose to live. Recent history
has proved that one-size-fits-all solutions are no good when
public health challenges vary from one area of the country to
7 the next. But we cannot sit back while, in spite of all this, so
many people are suffering such severe lifestyle-driven ill health
and such acute health inequalities.

Software Evaluation: Criteria-based Assessment
Mike Jackson, Steve Crouch and Rob Baxter
Criteria-based assessment is a quantitative assessment of the software in terms of sustainability, maintainability, and usability. This can inform high-level decisions on specific areas for software improvement.
Open Source Initiative
A criteria-based assessment gives a measurement of quality in a number of areas. These areas are derived from ISO/IEC 9126-1 Software engineering − Product quality and include usability, sustainability and maintainability.
The assessment involves checking whether the software, and the project that develops it, conforms to various characteristics or exhibits various qualities that are expected of sustainable software. The more characteristics that are satisfied, the more sustainable the software. Please note that not all qualities have equal weight e.g. having an OSI-approved open source licence is of more importance than avoiding TAB characters in text files.
In performing the evaluation, you may want to consider how different user classes affect the importance of the criteria. For example, for Usability-Understandability, a small set of well-defined, accurate, task-oriented user documentation may be comprehensive for Users but inadequate for Developers. Assessments specific to user classes allow the requirements of these specific user classes to be factored in and so, for example, show that a project rates highly for Users but poorly for Developers, or vice versa.
Scoring can also be affected by the nature of the software itself e.g. for A one could envisage an application that has been well-designed, offers context-sensitive help etc. and consequently is so easy to use that tutorials aren’t needed. Portability can apply to both the software and its development infrastructure e.g. the open source software OGSA-DAI2 can be built, compiled and tested on Unix, Windows or Linux (and so is highly portable for Users and User-Developers). However, its Ruby test framework cannot yet run on Windows, so running integration tests would involve the manual setup of OGSA-DAI servers (so this is far less portable for Developers and, especially, Members).

Two of the greatest technologies of our age are telecommunications
and computer engineering. Telecommunications is concerned
with moving information from one point to another point or
from one point to many other points. I think it is no exaggeration
to say that the telecommunications industry is largely taken for
granted by the vast majority of people. If you were to ask the
average person what the greatest technological feat of 1969 was,
they would probably reply ‘The first manned landing on the
moon’. A much more magnificent achievement was the ability of
millions of people half a million kilometres away to watch what
was taking place on the moon in their own homes. However,
if most people are not aware of the great developments in
the telecommunications industry, they will not have missed
the microprocessor revolution. In the last few years powerful
computers have become even more powerful and minicomputers
and microprocessors have spread to industry, education, research,
and the home.
