Built environmentThe term built environment refers to human-made conditions and is often used in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, public health, sociology, and anthropology, among others. These curated spaces provide the setting for human activity and were created to fulfill human desires and needs. The term can refer to a plethora of components including the traditionally associated buildings, cities, public infrastructure, transportation, open space, as well as more conceptual components like farmlands, dammed rivers, wildlife management, and even domesticated animals.
Toilette sèche à séparation d'urinevignette|Toilette sèche à séparation d'urine (avec deux fosses), urinoir sans chasse d'eau et bloc de douche chez un particulier dans la partie non raccordée au réseau d'assainissement de Lima, Pérou Les toilettes sèches à séparation d'urines (en anglais : Urine-diverting Dry Toilet ou UDDT) sont un type de toilette sèche qui sépare l'urine et les selles. Elles sont utilisées pour fournir en toute sécurité et pour un coût abordable un assainissement digne dans différents contextes et dans toutes les régions du monde.
Intervalle de confiancevignette|Chaque ligne montre 20 échantillons tirés selon la loi normale de moyenne μ. On y montre l'intervalle de confiance de niveau 50% pour la moyenne correspondante aux 20 échantillons, marquée par un losange. Si l'intervalle contient μ, il est bleu ; sinon il est rouge. En mathématiques, plus précisément en théorie des probabilités et en statistiques, un intervalle de confiance encadre une valeur réelle que l’on cherche à estimer à l’aide de mesures prises par un procédé aléatoire.
Community-led total sanitationCommunity-led total sanitation (CLTS) is an approach used mainly in developing countries to improve sanitation and hygiene practices in a community. The approach tries to achieve behavior change in mainly rural people by a process of "triggering", leading to spontaneous and long-term abandonment of open defecation practices. It focuses on spontaneous and long-lasting behavior change of an entire community. The term "triggering" is central to the CLTS process: It refers to ways of igniting community interest in ending open defecation, usually by building simple toilets, such as pit latrines.
Déterminant social de santévignette|Les déterminants sociaux de la santé Un déterminant social de santé en santé publique, est un facteur qui influence l’état de santé d'une population soit isolément, soit en association avec d’autres facteurs et sur lequel il est possible d'agir. Les déterminants sociaux de santé sont liés au revenu, à la formation, à l'emploi, ainsi qu'aux contextes sociaux et aux politiques publiques, etc.. Ils sont ont une influence significativement plus importante que les déterminants biologiques sur la santé des populations.
Toilet (room)A toilet is a small room used for privately accessing the sanitation fixture (toilet) for urination and defecation. Toilet rooms often include a sink (basin) with soap/handwash for handwashing, as this is important for personal hygiene. These rooms are typically referred to as "half-bathrooms" (half-baths; half of a whole or full-bathroom) in a private residence. This room is commonly known as a "bathroom" in American English, a lavatory or loo in the United Kingdom, a "washroom" in Canadian English, and by many other names across the English-speaking world.
Ordered logitIn statistics, the ordered logit model (also ordered logistic regression or proportional odds model) is an ordinal regression model—that is, a regression model for ordinal dependent variables—first considered by Peter McCullagh. For example, if one question on a survey is to be answered by a choice among "poor", "fair", "good", "very good" and "excellent", and the purpose of the analysis is to see how well that response can be predicted by the responses to other questions, some of which may be quantitative, then ordered logistic regression may be used.
Clostridioides difficileClostridioides difficile, anciennement Clostridium difficile, est une espèce de bactéries du genre Clostridioides. Il s’agit de bacilles gram positifs, anaérobies stricts et sporulés. Cette espèce a été initialement appelée Clostridium difficile car associée au genre Clostridium mais l'analyse de son ARN ribosomique 16S en 2016 a conduit à l'en distinguer. Clostridioides difficile est le principal agent étiologique de la diarrhée nosocomiale chez les patients sous antibiothérapie.
Credible intervalIn Bayesian statistics, a credible interval is an interval within which an unobserved parameter value falls with a particular probability. It is an interval in the domain of a posterior probability distribution or a predictive distribution. The generalisation to multivariate problems is the credible region. Credible intervals are analogous to confidence intervals and confidence regions in frequentist statistics, although they differ on a philosophical basis: Bayesian intervals treat their bounds as fixed and the estimated parameter as a random variable, whereas frequentist confidence intervals treat their bounds as random variables and the parameter as a fixed value.
Ordinal regressionIn statistics, ordinal regression, also called ordinal classification, is a type of regression analysis used for predicting an ordinal variable, i.e. a variable whose value exists on an arbitrary scale where only the relative ordering between different values is significant. It can be considered an intermediate problem between regression and classification. Examples of ordinal regression are ordered logit and ordered probit.
