"The case-control approach is a powerful method for investigating factors that may explain a particular event. It is extensively used in epidemiology to study disease incidence, one of the best-known examples being the investigation by Bradford Hill and Doll of the possible connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. More recently, case-control studies have been increasingly used in other fields, including sociology and econometrics. With a particular focus on statistical analysis, this book is ideal for applied and theoretical statisticians wanting an up-to-date introduction to the field. It covers the fundamentals of case-control study design and analysis as well as more recent developments, including two-stage studies, case-only studies and methods for case-control sampling in time. The latter have important applications in large prospective cohorts that require case-control sampling designs to make efficient use of resources. More theoretical background is provided in an appendix for those new to the field"--Provided by publisher.

La crise du coronavirus a foudroyé le monde, mettant à l'arrêt la quasi-totalité de son économie. Devons-nous y voir un coup du sort, un événement imprévisible aux conséquences considérables et exceptionnelles, un « cygne noir », au sens où l'entend le philosophe américain Nassim Nicholas Taleb ? Rudy Aernoudt ne le pense pas. Exemples à l'appui, l'économiste nous rappelle que « les crises ont toujours existé » et déplore que les États ne tirent que rarement les leçons du passé. « Never waste a good crisis » disait pourtant Winston Churchill. Souscrivant à cette logique, espérant un sursaut citoyen, un réveil, Rudy Aernoudt analyse la crise et ses répercussions. Elle a pour lui des allures d'aubaine, d'occasion unique de changer les choses, que nous avons le devoir de ne pas galvauder. Partant des nouvelles tendances de l'ère post-corona, des valeurs humaines de notre société et d'une analyse fouillée de la structure de l'État belge, il nous expose sa vision de la Belgique de demain et trace les contours d'une politique socio-économique nouvelle.

Even though knowledge about the impact of the pandemic on mental health is still very limited in all countries and is largely based on experiences only partially comparable to the current epidemic, such as those of the SARS or Ebola epidemics, it is likely that the need for intervention will increase significantly in the coming months and years. Scientific research in neuroscience is a growing field. It offers a novel perspective on the relationship between mind and brain and provides novel scenarios for understanding the long wave of the current pandemic. Furthermore, the pandemic has also led to the possibility of implementing remote monitoring and management interventions. This volume uses multidisciplinary approaches to physiological and cognitive mechanisms, medical treatment, psychosocial interventions, and self-management to help illustrate the complex association among the COVID-19 pandemic, neurological manifestations, mental health, and society.
