picture info	Lead Exposure Elimination Project Lead Exposure Elimination Project (LEEP) is an international non-governmental organization aimed at reducing lead exposure in low- and middle-income countries. Based in London, London, England, it was founded in 2020 to promote research and advocacy on the prevalence and consequences of lead poisoning in the developing world. Giving What We Can has identified LEEP as among the most cost effective charitable organizations in the world, preventing childhood lead exposure at a cost of US$1.66 on average, and saving disability-adjusted life years for approximately US$14. In 2023, LEEP had revenues of US$8.97 million. History LEEP was founded in 2020 by Lucia Coulter, a British physician and former NHS doctor, and Jack Rafferty, a former NGO executive. The organization was incubated by Charity Entrepreneurship, which supported LEEP in its first year with a US$60,000 grant. Among LEEP's first projects was a study of the incidence of lead in paint brands in Malawi. Conducted in partn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs The Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), formerly named the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, is a Washington, D.C.–based, non-profit and think tank. History JINSA was founded in 1976, three years after the Yom Kippur War. JINSA's founding, according to Jason Vest, writing in ''The Nation'', was prompted by "neoconservatives concerned that the United States might not be able to provide Israel with adequate military supplies in the event of another Arab-Israeli war." JINSA since expanded its portfolio to cover not only Israel-U.S. relations, but general American national security policy as well. In the late 1980s, JINSA underwent a profound repurposing of mission which, although retaining the interest in maintaining and strengthening the U.S.–Israeli defense relationship, widened its focus to general U.S. defense and foreign policy, with missions and meetings with national leaders and officials Ethiopia, Belgium, South Korea, India, Bul ...

	Employment Equity (Canada) Affirmative action (also sometimes called reservations, alternative access, positive discrimination or positive action in various countries' laws and policies) refers to a set of policies and practices within a government or organization seeking to address systemic discrimination. Historically and internationally, support for affirmative action has been justified by the idea that it may help with bridging inequalities in employment and pay, increasing access to education, and promoting diversity, social equity, and social inclusion and redressing wrongs, harms, or hindrances, also called substantive equality. The nature of affirmative-action policies varies from region to region and exists on a spectrum from a hard quota to merely targeting encouragement for increased participation. Some countries use a quota system, reserving a certain percentage of government jobs, political positions, and school vacancies for members of a certain group; an example of this is the reservatio ...

	Loop Electrical Excision Procedure The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is one of the most commonly used approaches to treat high grade cervical dysplasia ( CIN II/III, HGSIL) and early stage cervical cancer discovered on colposcopic examination. In the UK, it is known as large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ). It is considered a type of conization. It has been in use since the 1970s, after its invention by Dr. Sheldon Weinstein. LEEP has many advantages including low cost and a high success rate. The procedure can be done in an office setting and usually only requires a local anesthetic, though sometimes IV sedation or a general anesthetic is used. Disadvantages include reports of decreased sexual satisfaction and potential for preterm labor, though a meta-analysis published in 2014 suggested that in patients with existing CIN lesions as opposed to controls, the risk is not more than their baseline risk. Approximately 500,000 LEEP procedures are performed in the U.S. annually. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
