----------------------------------------
Friends,
We do and will appreciate your reviews and comments to the supercourse.
We have now four *new* lectures up!
http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/main/lecture.htm
We have two Internet related lectures. One is Application of Internet
to Epidemiology and Public Health (Lecture 8) by Deborah Aaron, Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh. She is a PhD in Epidemiology and Master of Informa-
tion Sciences. She has started an epidemiological study applying the
Internet in her real research.
The other is:
World Wide Web as a global virtual library (Lecture 11) by Vaclava Ro-
jikova, Charles University. She is a head of Computer Laboratory, Char-
les University Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, Czech Republic. She re-
fers many links and discusses advantages and disadvantages of the
Internet as a virtual liberal. She wants to start a decalogue with you
in this matter.
Tom Jefferson from Edmund Parkes, Professor of Preventive Medicine,
Royal Defense Medical College in Gosport, England, wrote a lecture on
an Introduction to Health Economics. (Lecture 9). He has recently pub-
lished the book on the topic. You will learn the concept of opportunity
cost, principle of scarcity and economic evaluation.
Ron LaPorte from University of Pittsburgh provides a lecture on Hodg-
kin's disease (Lecture 10). He summarizes the epidemiology of HOdgkin's
disease and tells you about the excitement in its epidemiology.
We are looking forward to your reviews and comments.
Very truly yours,
Akira Sekikawa
