Abstract

The Global Consumption Database (GCD) contains information on consumption patterns at the national level, by urban/rural area, and by income level (4 categories: lowest, low, middle, higher with thresholds based on a global income distribution), for 92 low and middle-income countries, as of 2010. The data were extracted from national household surveys. The consumption is presented by category of products and services of the International Comparison Program (ICP) 2005, which mostly corresponds to COICOP. For three countries, sub-national data are also available (Brazil, India, and South Africa). Data on population estimates are also included.

Content

Notes, explanations, etc. 1. There are countries/regions in the World Bank data not in the Covid-19 data, and countries/regions in the Covid-19 data with no World Bank data. This is unavoidable. 2. There were political decisions made in both datasets that may cause problems. I chose to go forward with the data as presented, and did not attempt to modify the decisions made by the dataset creators (e.g., the names of countries, what is and is not a country, etc.).

Columns are as follows: 1. Country_Region: the region as used in Kaggle Covid-19 spread data challenges. 2. Province_State: the region as used in Kaggle Covid-19 spread data challenges. 3. World_Bank_Name: the name of the country used by the World Bank 4. Health_exp_pct_GDP_2016: Level of current health expenditure expressed as a percentage of GDP.

External sources compose of direct foreign transfers and foreign transfers distributed by government encompassing all financial inflows into the national health system from outside the country. External sources either flow through the government scheme or are channeled through non-governmental organizations or other schemes.

Does health spending levels (public or private), or hospital staff have any effect on the rate at which Covid-19 spreads in a country? Can we use this data to predict the rate at which Cases or Fatalities will grow?

Mercury flux and fate (whether mercury was retained in the aquatic ecosystem or exported to the riparian ecosystem via blackfly emergence) was calculated based on animal consumption rates and total mercury concentration of diet items. Consumers and their gut contents were collected at six sites on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Sites ranged from 0-367 river kilometers downstream of Lees Ferry (AZ, USA). Organic matter types and animal tissues were analyzed for total Hg using cold vapor atomic fluorescence (CVAF, Tekran Model 2600 CVAF spectrometer) following EPA Method 7474. Gut content samples used to calculate consumption rates were collected at least quarterly from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. Organic matter types and consumers were collected June 12-28 2008. Data provided in this report include animal consumption rates; total mercury concentrations of food web samples and mean mercury concentrations of diet items; total mercury fluxes from diet items to individual consumers; the total amount of mercury in blackfly larvae that was consumed by fishes, excreted during metamorphosis, or exported via adult blackfly emergence; site locations and river widths; and the total flux of mercury at the scale of entire invertebrate and fish assemblages.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, TikTok generated around 186 million downloads from users worldwide. Initially launched in China first by ByteDance as Douyin, the short-video format was popularized by TikTok and took over the global social media environment in 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, TikTok downloads peaked at over 313.5 million worldwide, up by 62.3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019.

              TikTok interactions: is there a magic formula for content success?

              In 2024, TikTok registered an engagement rate of approximately 4.64 percent on video content hosted on its platform. During the same examined year, the social video app recorded over 1,100 interactions on average. These interactions were primarily composed of likes, while only recording less than 20 comments per piece of content on average in 2024.
              The platform has been actively monitoring the issue of fake interactions, as it removed around 236 million fake likes during the first quarter of 2024. Though there is no secret formula to get the maximum of these metrics, recommended video length can possibly contribute to the success of content on TikTok.
              It was recommended that tiny TikTok accounts with up to 500 followers post videos that are around 2.6 minutes long as of the first quarter of 2024. While, the ideal video duration for huge TikTok accounts with over 50,000 followers was 7.28 minutes. The average length of TikTok videos posted by the creators in 2024 was around 43 seconds.
