Developing data-driven solutions that address real-world problems requires understanding of these problems’ causes and how their interaction affects the outcome–often with only observational data. Causal Bayesian Networks (BN) have been proposed as a powerful method for discovering and representing the causal relationships from observational data as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). BNs could be especially useful for research in global health in Lower and Middle Income Countries, where there is an increasing abundance of observational data that could be harnessed for policy making, program evaluation, and intervention design. However, BNs have not been widely adopted by global health professionals, and in real-world applications, confidence in the results of BNs generally remains inadequate. This is partially due to the inability to validate against some ground truth, as the true DAG is not available. This is especially problematic if a learned DAG conflicts with pre-existing domain doctrine. Here we conceptualize and demonstrate an idea of a “Causal Datasheet” that could approximate and document BN performance expectations for a given dataset, aiming to provide confidence and sample size requirements to practitioners. To generate results for such a Causal Datasheet, a tool was developed which can generate synthetic Bayesian networks and their associated synthetic datasets to mimic real-world datasets. The results given by well-known structure learning algorithms and a novel implementation of the OrderMCMC method using the Quotient Normalized Maximum Likelihood score were recorded. These results were used to populate the Causal Datasheet, and recommendations could be made dependent on whether expected performance met user-defined thresholds. We present our experience in the creation of Causal Datasheets to aid analysis decisions at different stages of the research process. First, one was deployed to help determine the appropriate sample size of a planned study of sexual and reproductive health in Madhya Pradesh, India. Second, a datasheet was created to estimate the performance of an existing maternal health survey we conducted in Uttar Pradesh, India. Third, we validated generated performance estimates and investigated current limitations on the well-known ALARM dataset. Our experience demonstrates the utility of the Causal Datasheet, which can help global health practitioners gain more confidence when applying BNs.

This index compiles empirical data on AI and big data surveillance use for 179 countries around the world between 2012 and 2020— although the bulk of the sources stem from between 2017 and 2020. The index does not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate uses of AI and big data surveillance. Rather, the purpose of the research is to show how new surveillance capabilities are transforming governments’ ability to monitor and track individuals or groups. Last updated April 2020.

This index addresses three primary questions: Which countries have documented AI and big data public surveillance capabilities? What types of AI and big data public surveillance technologies are governments deploying? And which companies are involved in supplying this technology?

The index measures AI and big data public surveillance systems deployed by state authorities, such as safe cities, social media monitoring, or facial recognition cameras. It does not assess the use of surveillance in private spaces (such as privately-owned businesses in malls or hospitals), nor does it evaluate private uses of this technology (e.g., facial recognition integrated in personal devices). It also does not include AI and big data surveillance used in Automated Border Control systems that are commonly found in airport entry/exit terminals. Finally, the index includes a list of frequently mentioned companies – by country – which source material indicates provide AI and big data surveillance tools and services.

All reference source material used to build the index has been compiled into an open Zotero library, available at https://www.zotero.org/groups/2347403/global_ai_surveillance/items. The index includes detailed information for seventy-seven countries where open source analysis indicates that governments have acquired AI and big data public surveillance capabilities. The index breaks down AI and big data public surveillance tools into the following categories: smart city/safe city, public facial recognition systems, smart policing, and social media surveillance.

The findings indicate that at least seventy-seven out of 179 countries are actively using AI and big data technology for public surveillance purposes:

• Smart city/safe city platforms: fifty-five countries • Public facial recognition systems: sixty-eight countries • Smart policing: sixty-one countries • Social media surveillance: thirty-six countries

Country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus® database (Elsevier B.V.). These indicators can be used to assess and analyze scientific domains. Country rankings may be compared or analysed separately. Indicators offered for each country: H Index, Documents, Citations, Citation per Document and Citable Documents.

This dataset is about book subjects. It has 3 rows and is filtered where the books is Boomer nation : the largest and richest generation ever, and how it changed America. It features 10 columns including number of authors, number of books, earliest publication date, and latest publication date.

The average for 2023 based on 154 countries was 95 percent. The highest value was in Luxembourg: 394.22 percent and the lowest value was in Sudan: 2.47 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This dataset provides values for SOCIAL SECURITY RATE reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

To create the dataset, the top 10 countries leading in the incidence of COVID-19 in the world were selected as of October 22, 2020 (on the eve of the second full of pandemics), which are presented in the Global 500 ranking for 2020: USA, India, Brazil, Russia, Spain, France and Mexico. For each of these countries, no more than 10 of the largest transnational corporations included in the Global 500 rating for 2020 and 2019 were selected separately. The arithmetic averages were calculated and the change (increase) in indicators such as profitability and profitability of enterprises, their ranking position (competitiveness), asset value and number of employees. The arithmetic mean values of these indicators for all countries of the sample were found, characterizing the situation in international entrepreneurship as a whole in the context of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 on the eve of the second wave of the pandemic. The data is collected in a general Microsoft Excel table. Dataset is a unique database that combines COVID-19 statistics and entrepreneurship statistics. The dataset is flexible data that can be supplemented with data from other countries and newer statistics on the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fact that the data in the dataset are not ready-made numbers, but formulas, when adding and / or changing the values in the original table at the beginning of the dataset, most of the subsequent tables will be automatically recalculated and the graphs will be updated. This allows the dataset to be used not just as an array of data, but as an analytical tool for automating scientific research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis on international entrepreneurship. The dataset includes not only tabular data, but also charts that provide data visualization. The dataset contains not only actual, but also forecast data on morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 for the period of the second wave of the pandemic in 2020. The forecasts are presented in the form of a normal distribution of predicted values and the probability of their occurrence in practice. This allows for a broad scenario analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis on international entrepreneurship, substituting various predicted morbidity and mortality rates in risk assessment tables and obtaining automatically calculated consequences (changes) on the characteristics of international entrepreneurship. It is also possible to substitute the actual values identified in the process and following the results of the second wave of the pandemic to check the reliability of pre-made forecasts and conduct a plan-fact analysis. The dataset contains not only the numerical values of the initial and predicted values of the set of studied indicators, but also their qualitative interpretation, reflecting the presence and level of risks of a pandemic and COVID-19 crisis for international entrepreneurship.

Census data reveals that population density varies noticeably from area to area. Small area census data do a better job depicting where the crowded neighborhoods are. In this map, the yellow areas of highest density range from 30,000 to 150,000 persons per square kilometer. In those areas, if the people were spread out evenly across the area, there would be just 4 to 9 meters between them. Very high density areas exceed 7,000 persons per square kilometer. High density areas exceed 5,200 persons per square kilometer. The last categories break at 3,330 persons per square kilometer, and 1,500 persons per square kilometer.This dataset is comprised of multiple sources.
