Impact of mutual health organizations: evidence from West Africa
Mutual health organizations (MHOs) are voluntary membership organizations providing health insurance services to their members. MHOs aim to increase access to health care by reducing out-of-pocket payments faced by households. We used multiple regression analysis of household survey data from Ghana, Mali and Senegal to investigate the determinants of enrolment in MHOs, and the impact of MHO membership on use of health care services and on out-of-pocket health care expenditures for outpatient care and hospitalization. We found strong evidence that households headed by women are more likely to enrol in MHOs than households headed by men. Education of the household head is positively associated with MHO enrolment. The evidence on the association between household economic status and MHO enrolment indicates that individuals from the richest quintiles are more likely to be enrolled than anyone else. We did not find evidence that individuals from the poorest quintiles tend to be excluded from MHOs
Characterization of oxygen self-diffusion in TiO2 resistive-switching layers by nuclear reaction profiling
Oxygen self-diffusion was investigated in TiO2 layers employed for resistive-switching memories using resonant nuclear reaction profiling (NRP) and 18O labeling. The layers were grown using physical vapor deposition technique (sputtering) and were polycrystalline. The diffusivity was measured over the temperature range 600â800âŻÂ°C and the activation energy for oxygen self-diffusion in sputter-deposited TiO2 films determined to be 1.09âŻÂąâŻ0.16âŻeV, a value consistent with results obtained by previous studies (Marmitt et al., 2017).This study was financed in part by the Coordena de Aperfei oamento
