Q:

AWS EC2: how to compute the cost

i'm new to AWS, i'm using the free right not and it's terrific.
Now, in 1yr the free expires.
i went to the website http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ where the pricing is but i didn't really get how to compute it.
The price are in $ per Hours but i don't think that this means, if i need to have my application running 24h/365d i've to multiplay it for 8760, or do i have?
because they write about usage, but how do i compute this value?
if i've a website where people in total spend smt like 10 minutes a month and 1 where people spend 750hour a months i pay the same?
i can't believe that is the same price.
PS:if i've a scheduled task, does it affect the usage?

A:

It is the same price. Yes, your calculation is correct; you are billed that amount for each hour in which the EC2 instance is running. How many people visit a web site whose pages you're serving out of that instance, or how much time they spend looking at those pages, are irrelevant to the cost calculation.
If you are buying an instance that should be running 24/7, and you have no need to run it intermittently or to add more instances on the fly at particular times, then perhaps you may also want to look into other hosting providers beside Amazon and the EC2 offering.  It's called "elastic" for a good reason! :)

Lesson: Understanding AWS EC2 Pricing Model

**Introduction:**

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a popular cloud computing platform that provides scalable and reliable computing resources. One of the key factors that make AWS EC2 attractive to users is its pay-as-you-go pricing model, which allows users to only pay for the resources they use. However, understanding the pricing model can be confusing, especially for beginners. In this lesson, we will explore the AWS EC2 pricing model and learn how to calculate the cost of using EC2 instances.

**Section 1: Understanding the Pricing Model**

AWS EC2 instances are available in different sizes, each with varying levels of CPU, memory, storage, and network bandwidth. The pricing model for EC2 is based on the following parameters:

1. Instance type: The size of the EC2 instance, determined by the amount of CPU, memory, storage, and network bandwidth it provides.
2. Region: The geographic location of the AWS data center where the EC2 instance is hosted.
3. Operating system: The type of operating system installed on the EC2 instance (e.g., Windows, Linux).
4. Usage period: The duration for which the EC2 instance is used.

The pricing model is based on the concept of "usage," which refers to the amount of time the EC2 instance is running. Users are charged based on the number of hours they use the instance, at a rate of $0.023 per hour for On-Demand instances and $0.0105 per hour for Reserved instances.

**Section 2: Calculating the Cost of Using EC2 Instances**

To calculate the cost of using an EC2 instance, we need to consider the following factors:

1. Instance type: Different instance types have different prices, ranging from $0.005 per hour for the t2.nano instance to $9.60 per hour for the c4.8xlarge instance.
2. Region: The cost of using an EC2 instance varies depending on the region where it is hosted. For example, the On-Demand price for c4.8xlarge instance in us-east-1 region is $9.60 per hour, while it is $10.44 per hour in eu-west-1 region.
3. Operating system: Some operating systems are more expensive than others. For example, Windows instances are more expensive than Linux instances.
4. Usage period: The longer the EC2 instance runs, the more expensive it becomes.

To calculate the cost of using an EC2 instance, we can use the following formula:

Cost = (Instance Type * Region * Operating System * Usage Period) * Hourly Rate

For example, let's say we want to calculate the cost of using a c4.8xlarge instance in the us-east-1 region for one hour:

Cost = (c4.8xlarge * us-east-1 * Linux * 1 hour) * $0.0105 per hour
Cost = $10.44

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's consider two examples to illustrate how to calculate the cost of using EC2 instances in different scenarios.

Example 1: A web server hosting a website

Suppose we have a web server hosting a website that receives 10,000 visitors per month, who spend an average of 30 seconds on the site. This amounts to 2,500 hours of usage per month. If we use an On-Demand instance of type t2.micro, the cost of running the instance for a month would be:

Cost = (t2.micro * us-east-1 * Linux * 2,500 hours) * $0.005 per hour
Cost = $37.50

Example 2: A batch processing job

Suppose we have a batch processing job that runs once a day and takes 8 hours to complete. We use an On-Demand instance of type c4.8xlarge for this job. The cost of running the instance for a month would be:

Cost = (c4.8xlarge * us-east-1 * Linux * 1 day * 8 hours) * $0.0105 per hour
Cost = $14.40

**Section 4: Self-Debating Discussion**

In this lesson, we learned that the AWS EC2 pricing model is based on the concept of usage, and users are charged based on the number of hours they use the instance. We also learned how to calculate the cost of using EC2 instances based on their type, region, operating system, and usage period. Finally, we explored two practical examples to illustrate how to calculate the cost of using EC2 instances in different scenarios.

**Glossary:**

- EC2: Elastic Compute Cloud
- Instance type: The size of the EC2 instance, determined by the amount of CPU, memory, storage, and network bandwidth it provides.
- Region: The geographic location of the AWS data center where the EC2 instance is hosted.
- Operating system: The type of operating system installed on the EC2 instance (e.g., Windows, Linux).
- Usage period: The duration for which the EC2 instance is used.
- On-Demand: A pricing option for EC2 instances that allows users to pay for the exact amount of resources they use, without requiring any upfront payment or long-term commitments.
- Reserved: A pricing option for EC2 instances that allows users to reserve capacity for a specified period of time, typically at a lower cost than On-Demand instances.
- Hourly rate: The price per hour for using an EC2 instance, which varies depending on the instance type, region, and operating system.

**Conclusion:**

Understanding the AWS EC2 pricing model is essential for anyone who wants to use EC2 instances for their computing needs. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, users can calculate the cost of using EC2 instances based on their specific requirements. This knowledge can help users make informed decisions when selecting EC2 instances and planning their computing budgets.

Q:

Cocoa Programming on Windows

Is there a way to develop windows applications using cocoa and objective-c in general

A:

To be clear, Objective-C is to Cocoa as C# is to .NET, or even as the Java language is to the Java platform — it's the primary way of doing things. Objective-C can be used wherever the compiler supports it, but the Cocoa frameworks are really the most valuable part of the equation.
One should also note that (os OS X) Safari is a Cocoa app, but iTunes is not yet (it still uses the legacy Carbon APIs) so I'm not sure how it is on Windows. Apple has ported some significant parts of Cocoa to Windows DLL's to port Safari, but to my knowledge, that code is not available for public consumption. (One can imagine that Apple doesn't really want to make it easy to create robust apps for a competing OS, they have only published two key apps to further their own goals, like adoption of iPod/iTunes and the WebKit browser core.) Don't expect to see these Cococa-Windows libraries become widely available; if they do, it will be a surprise to many of us.
As @Gregory mentioned, GNUStep and Cocotron are plausible options to explore, but I'd suggest thinking long and hard about whether you really should do what you're asking. By and large, Microsoft's tools have much better support for Windows, you'll run into fewer undocumented limitations, and their native apps will tend to "feel right" to Windows users. I learned some time back that although I love Objective-C/Cocoa, if I ever had to write a Windows program, I would do it with the C#/.NET platform.

A:

Well, Cocoa is specific to Mac OSX. But you might have a look at Cocotron.
For Objective-C, you might want to have a look at GNUStep.

text: The German Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (DWV) sent out a press release on the synergies between battery and fuel cell vehicle development. According to the DWV the car of tomorrow will have an electric motor, a battery and probably even most of the cars of tomorrow will also havea hydrogen tank and a fuel cell. According to the DWV there is no contradiction at all between the battery, an electrical storage device, and the fuel cell, an energy converter. They rather complement each other. The pure battery car will not be the general solution for our future mobility needs, but the fuel cell on the other hand can not perform well without a battery. Therefore the DWV welcomes the support for electric vehicle manufacturing, with batteries and with fuel cells, as the German National Innovation Program “Hydrogen and Fuel Cells” and the German Initiative for Electromobility.

Q:

Can linux be windows substitute?

can i use linux as a substitute of windows? i mean Can i use MS Office, Photoshop and other softwares which i usually use in windows?

A:

You're asking this in a place where almost all of us use Ubuntu instead of Windows as our main operating system. The obvious answer is: yes.
You cannot simply install Microsoft Office and Photoshop as their programming is for Windows (or Mac). However you can install a "virtual" install of Windows under something called VirtualBox. This is like running a small computer inside of Ubuntu and it'll give you access to everything you need from Windows. Because you're running two operating systems at once you need a slightly beefier computer to get away with this.
There is also a compatibility layer called Wine that allows you to install Windows software. This often gives better performance applications with a lower resource overhead but this is traded against software support; not everything will run and what does might be buggy. You can check specific applications on http://appdb.winehq.org
Then there's alternative software. OpenOffice and GIMP are often touted as the open-source alternatives for MS Office and Photoshop. In my opinion OpenOffice will get the job done for most things. GIMP is also fine but if you're using advanced features in Photoshop, you'll probably miss a lot.
You should also consider perhaps moving certain tasks onto the web. For most of my word processing and spreadsheets, I now use Google Docs. It's completely cross platform and has some nice collaborative features. It's not as powerful as OpenOffice or MS Office but I don't need it to be.
I personally need Photoshop for my work (I'm a web developer when I'm not answering questions here) and I use VirtualBox to run a Windows XP install when I need it.

- Download the Linux installation media (e.g., ISO file) and create a bootable USB drive.
- Restart your computer and select the USB drive as the boot device.
- Follow the installation prompts to install Linux on your computer.

Topic 2: Running Windows Software on Linux
- Use a virtual machine: Install a virtual machine program like VirtualBox and create a virtual machine with Windows installed.
- Use a compatibility layer: Wine is a compatibility layer that allows some Windows software to run on Linux.
- Use online software: Many software programs are available online and can be accessed via a web browser.

Topic 3: Alternative Software
- If you need specific Windows software, search for an open-source or cross-platform alternative. For example, LibreOffice is an open-source alternative to MS Office, and GIMP is an alternative to Photoshop.

Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, Linux can be a viable substitute for Windows, especially for those seeking greater flexibility, security, and cost-effectiveness. While there may be some drawbacks, such as limited software availability and compatibility issues, there are ways to overcome these challenges. By installing Linux, using virtual machines or compatibility layers, and exploring alternative software, you can successfully use Linux as a Windows substitute.

Category Archives: Well Meaning

USA Today on Thursday published an editorial hopefully entitled, Editorial: Fix broken mental health system. Which would be fine as a stand-alone piece advocating more money, focus and resources for our nation’s patchwork system of mental health and recovery care.

Instead, they — like many well-meaning but apparently brain-dead newspapers — tie the need to fix our mental health care system — something others have been advocating for for decades — to recent headline-news grabbing acts of atrocious violence.

Only buried in this hypocritical, two-faced gutter-piece editorial do you find the truth — “Only the tiniest fraction of the mentally ill ever become violent, and then, usually when they fail to get treatment.” It’s even worse than that — statistically speaking, mental illness is a horrible predictor of violence, and nobody who’s read the research would ever suggest otherwise.

I have no problem with you advocating to help people with mental health concerns. I have a big problem if you’re doing so because of violence in America. The two have little to no connection with one another.

People let to get all riled up and angry when something tragic occurs. It’s one way many of us cope and try to figure out such events. But when we respond to tragic events with action, we’re likely to do so in a way that makes little sense in the overall, broader picture.

The fact is people with mental health conditions are no more likely to be violent than is the general population.~ Wayne Lindstrom

For instance, every year in America, over 12,000 people a year are murdered — most by some sort of gun. Nobody gets upset at that huge number, or that 30,000+ people a year who take their own lives.

Instead, the thing that USA Today wants us to get motivated by are these horrific acts of violence that barely read in the overall number of deaths per year due to gun violence. USA Today doesn’t seem to care about the 30,000+ people each year who, because of untreated depression or other mental health concerns, choose to end their lives.1

Wayne Lindstrom, the CEO of Mental Health America, on the other hand, gets it right in his response to the crummy piece of what passes for “insightful opinion” at USA Today:

The premise that we can predict or prevent violent acts is unsupported. Even in the case of severe mental illnesses, mental health professionals possess no special knowledge or ability to predict future behavior.

The fact is people with mental health conditions are no more likely to be violent than is the general population. Continuing to link violence and mental illness only stigmatizes people and deters them from seeking care.

We whole-heartedly share and endorse these words. We stand proudly with Mental Health America and other organizations who’ve read the research and know that linking mental illness to violence is like linking terrorism to a specific religion — it’s a feel good strategy imbeciles do to make themselves feel better.

USA Today rues the good ole days, when we could lock up anyone society disagreed with or didn’t like the looks of in a mental hospital (nowadays referred to an inpatient psychiatric hospital): “Many states have become so strict that it is almost impossible to get people committed until they are in deep crisis, or try to commit suicide or harm someone.” Awww, what a shame — we actually have a reasonable, humane standard before trying to take someone’s freedom away from them.

USA Today should be ashamed of itself for publishing an editorial that only reinforces the discrimination, stigma and prejudice against people with mental health concerns. They continue to spread misinformation about the link between mental illness and violence,2 and suggest we have some sort of magical powers of foresight that would allow us to predict these kinds of incidents with such accuracy, it would be like the science-fiction story, “Minority Report” (we don’t have such magical powers, sorry).

Lesson: How to Read and Analyze News Articles

Introduction:
Reading and analyzing news articles is an essential skill for staying informed about current events and understanding the world around us. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and analyze news articles by examining the example provided above.

Section 1: Understanding the Structure of a News Article

A news article typically follows a specific structure, which includes the headline, lead paragraph, body paragraphs, and conclusion. The headline is the first thing readers see and should grab their attention while summarizing the main point of the article. The lead paragraph provides additional information about the story and its context. Body paragraphs provide more details and evidence to support the main argument or claim. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the main points and leaves readers with a clear understanding of the story's importance.

Example:
Headline: USA Today Editorial: Fix Broken Mental Health System
Lead Paragraph: USA Today on Thursday published an editorial hopefully entitled, "Editorial: Fix broken mental health system." Which would be fine as a stand-alone piece advocating more money, focus and resources for our nation's patchwork system of mental health and recovery care.
Body Paragraphs: Instead, they — like many well-meaning but apparently brain-dead newspapers — tie the need to fix our mental health care system — something others have been advocating for for decades — to recent headline-news grabbing acts of atrocious violence. Only buried in this hypocritical, two-faced gutter-piece editorial do you find the truth — "Only the tiniest fraction of the mentally ill ever become violent, and then, usually when they fail to get treatment." It's even worse than that — statistically speaking, mental illness is a horrible predictor of violence, and nobody who's read the research would ever suggest otherwise.
Conclusion: I have no problem with you advocating to help people with mental health issues.

Analysis:
The headline clearly states the main point of the article, which is to advocate for fixing the broken mental health system. The lead paragraph introduces the topic and sets the context for the rest of the article. The body paragraphs provide additional information and evidence to support the main argument, while the conclusion summarizes the main points and leaves readers with a clear message.

Section 2: Identifying the Main Point and Supporting Evidence

To analyze a news article effectively, it is essential to identify the main point and supporting evidence. In the example provided above, the main point is that the author believes it is necessary to fix the broken mental health system. The supporting evidence includes statistics about the prevalence of mental illness and the likelihood of violence among those who do not receive treatment.

Analysis:
The main point of the article is to advocate for fixing the broken mental health system. The author supports this claim by citing statistics that show the need for more resources and attention to be paid to this issue. They also highlight the fact that mental illness is often not treated, leading to violence in some cases.

Section 3: Evaluating the Credibility and Impact of the Article

To evaluate the credibility and impact of a news article, it is essential to consider factors such as the source, the author's reputation, and the quality of the evidence presented. In the example provided above, the article was published by USA Today, which is a reputable news source. The author's reputation is not explicitly stated, but their stance on mental health issues suggests that they are knowledgeable and well-informed on the subject. The evidence presented is based on research and statistics, which adds credibility to the article's claims.

Analysis:
The article was published by USA Today, which is a reputable news source. The author's stance on mental health issues suggests that they are knowledgeable and well-informed on the subject. The evidence presented is based on research and statistics, which adds credibility to the article's claims.

Glossary:
- News article: a written or recorded report on a news event or other matter of public interest, issued by a newspaper, magazine, television station, or radio station.
- Headline: the title of an article or story, often written in large type and set off from the text of the article.
- Lead paragraph: the opening paragraph of a news article, which provides the most important information and context for the reader.
- Body paragraphs: the paragraphs that follow the lead paragraph, providing additional details and evidence to support the main argument or claim.
- Conclusion: the final paragraph of a news article, which summarizes the main points and leaves readers with a clear understanding of the story's importance.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to read and analyze news articles by examining the structure, main point, and supporting evidence of a sample article. We also evaluated the credibility and impact of the article based on factors such as the source, author's reputation, and quality of evidence presented. By applying these skills, we can better understand current events and make informed decisions about the information we consume.

Diaryl sulfoxides from aryl benzyl sulfoxides: a single palladium-catalyzed triple relay process.
A novel approach to produce diaryl sulfoxides from aryl benzyl sulfoxides is reported. Optimization of the reaction conditions was performed using high-throughput experimentation techniques. The [Pd(dba)2 ]/NiXantPhos catalyst system successfully promotes a triple relay process involving sulfoxide α-arylation, CS bond cleavage, and CS bond formation. The byproduct benzophenone is formed by an additional palladium-catalyzed process. It is noteworthy that palladium-catalyzed benzylative CS bond cleavage of sulfoxides is unprecedented. A wide range of aryl benzyl sulfoxides, as well as alkyl benzyl sulfoxides with various (hetero)aryl bromides were employed in the triple relay process in good to excellent yields (85-99 %). Moreover, aryl methyl sulfoxides, dibenzyl sulfoxides, and dimethylsulfoxide could be utilized to generate diaryl sulfoxides involving multiple catalytic cycles by a single catalyst.

Lesson: Introduction to Chemical Reactions and Catalysis

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about chemical reactions and catalysis. A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances change into different substances. This change is usually caused by a chemical reaction between the substances involved. Catalysis is a process in which a substance called a catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider the example given in the input text. A novel approach to produce diaryl sulfoxides from aryl benzyl sulfoxides is reported. The reaction involves three steps:

1. Sulfoxide α-arylation: In this step, a sulfoxide reacts with an aryl group to form a diaryl sulfoxide.
2. C-S bond cleavage: In this step, the C-S bond in the diaryl sulfoxide is broken, forming a benzophenone and a byproduct.
3. C-S bond formation: In this final step, the benzophenone reacts with another sulfoxide to form a new diaryl sulfoxide.

### Section 3: Difficulty Level

This lesson is suitable for primary through high school students. The concepts covered are introductory and can be easily understood by students at these levels.

### Glossary

Catalysis: A process in which a substance called a catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
Chemical reaction: A process in which one or more substances change into different substances.
Sulfoxide: A compound containing a sulfur atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom.
Aryl: A group of atoms derived from a benzene ring.
Benzyl: A group of atoms derived from a benzene ring with the addition of a carbon and hydrogen atom.

Lesson: Understanding CCTV Power Boxes

Introduction:
CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television, which is a system that uses video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place or set of monitors. A CCTV power box is an essential component of this system as it supplies power to the cameras and other devices connected to it. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of CCTV power boxes, their features, and how they work.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand the importance of CCTV power boxes in providing power to CCTV cameras and other devices. We will also learn about the different types of power boxes, their features, and how they work.

Section 1: Types of CCTV Power Boxes

Topic 1: DC Power Supply
A DC power supply is a type of power box that converts AC power from the mains to DC power that can be used by the CCTV cameras and other devices. It has an output voltage of 12V or 24V and can supply a maximum current of 20A or more. DC power supplies are commonly used in CCTV systems that use analog cameras or IP cameras with a power over Ethernet (PoE) interface.

Topic 2: AC Power Supply
An AC power supply is a type of power box that converts AC power from the mains to AC power that can be used by the CCTV cameras and other devices. It has an output voltage of 12V or 24V and can supply a maximum current of 10A or more. AC power supplies are commonly used in CCTV systems that use digital cameras or IP cameras without a PoE interface.

Topic 3: Distributed Power Supply
A distributed power supply is a type of power box that distributes power to multiple CCTV cameras and other devices. It has multiple output ports and can supply a maximum current of 5A or more per port. Distributed power supplies are commonly used in large CCTV systems that require power to be supplied to multiple cameras and devices.

Section 2: Features of CCTV Power Boxes

Topic 1: Overload Protection
Overload protection is a feature that protects the power box and the connected devices from damage caused by excessive current flow. It works by cutting off the power supply when the current exceeds the maximum allowable current.

Topic 2: Short Circuit Protection
Short circuit protection is a feature that protects the power box and the connected devices from damage caused by a short circuit. It works by detecting a short circuit and cutting off the power supply immediately.

Topic 3: Surge Protection
Surge protection is a feature that protects the power box and the connected devices from damage caused by voltage fluctuations or power surges. It works by absorbing the excess energy and dissipating it harmlessly.

Section 3: How CCTV Power Boxes Work

A CCTV power box works by converting AC power from the mains to DC power that can be used by the CCTV cameras and other devices. It does this by using a power supply circuit that includes a transformer, rectifier, and voltage regulator. The transformer converts the AC power from the mains to a lower voltage, which is then rectified by a diode bridge to produce a DC voltage. The voltage regulator then regulates the DC voltage to the required output voltage of 12V or 24V.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, CCTV power boxes are essential components of CCTV systems that supply power to the cameras and other devices. They come in different types, including DC power supplies, AC power supplies, and distributed power supplies. They also have different features, such as overload protection, short circuit protection, and surge protection. Understanding how CCTV power boxes work can help us troubleshoot any issues that may arise in our CCTV systems.

Lesson: Introduction to Tenancy Delivery Management

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Tenancy delivery management is the process of planning, coordinating, and overseeing the construction and fit-out of retail spaces in shopping malls. This involves working closely with retailers, landlords, and other stakeholders to ensure that the space is designed and built according to their specifications, while also meeting the needs of the overall mall development.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a hypothetical example. A retail developer wants to build a new shopping mall with 100 retail spaces. They hire a tenancy delivery manager to oversee the process of finding and securing tenants for these spaces. The manager must first create a plan for how the spaces will be divided up, taking into account factors such as the size of each retailer, the type of products they sell, and the overall layout of the mall. They must also negotiate lease agreements with each tenant, ensuring that the terms are favorable for both the retailer and the landlord. Once the leases are signed, the manager must oversee the construction of each retail space, working with architects, contractors, and other professionals to ensure that the work is done on time and on budget. Finally, they must manage the handover process, ensuring that each tenant has everything they need to open their doors and begin serving customers.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider a real-world scenario. In 2019, a major retail developer in Malaysia embarked on a massive project to expand one of its existing malls by adding a new wing with 50 additional retail spaces. They hired a tenancy delivery manager to oversee the process of finding and securing tenants for these spaces. The manager had to work quickly to meet the developer's aggressive timeline, which called for the new wing to be completed and opened to the public within just six months. To do this, they had to work closely with the developer's team to identify potential tenants, negotiate leases, and manage the construction process. They also had to coordinate closely with the existing tenants to minimize disruptions during the expansion. Despite the challenges, the manager was able to successfully secure tenants for all 50 spaces and deliver the new wing on time and on budget.

## Glossary
- Tenancy Delivery Manager: A professional responsible for overseeing the process of finding and securing tenants for retail spaces in shopping malls.
- Retail Developer: A company that builds and operates shopping malls.
- Landlord: The owner of a shopping mall who leases space to retailers.
- Stakeholders: Individuals or organizations that have an interest in or impact on a project or process.
- Lease Agreements: Contracts that outline the terms under which a retailer will rent a space in a shopping mall.
- Architects: Professionals who design buildings and other structures.
- Contractors: Companies that build and renovate structures.
- Handover Process: The process of transferring a newly constructed or renovated space to the tenant.

Replacing the combination of brand-name antiretroviral drugs currently recommended for control of HIV infection with soon-to-be-available generic medications could save the U.S. health care system almost

$1 billion a year, but may diminish the effectiveness of treatment, say Massachusetts General Hospital investigators. The team, reporting in the January 15 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, examined the potential effect of such a change.

“The switch from branded to generic antiretrovirals would place us in the uncomfortable position of trading some losses of both quality and quantity of life for a large potential dollar savings,” says lead author Rochelle Walensky, an HMS professor of medicine and a member of the MGH Medical Practice Evaluation Center.

The currently recommended treatment for newly diagnosed HIV patients is Atripla, a single pill taken daily that combines three brand-name antiretrovirals: Viread (tenofovir), Emtriva (emtricitabine), and Sustiva (efavirenz). A generic form of the antiretroviral drug lamivudine, which has a similar mechanism of action to emtricitabine, became available in January 2012, and a generic version of efavirenz is expected soon.

Replacing two of the three branded drugs with generics could significantly reduce costs, say the authors, but would also have disadvantages. A more complicated treatment regimen, requiring three daily pills instead of one, increases the risk that some patients will miss doses, leading to the loss of antiretroviral effectiveness. Studies have also found that lamivudine may be slightly less effective and more vulnerable to the development of drug-resistant viral strains than emtricitabine.

The team’s findings indicate that switching all HIV-infected patients in the nation to the three-drug generic strategy would produce lifetime savings of $42,500 per eligible patient. In the first year alone, the nationwide savings would reach nearly $1 billion. However, the quality-adjusted loss of life expectancy could be as much as 4.5 months.

Lesson: Understanding the Cost-Effectiveness of Healthcare Interventions

Introduction:
Healthcare interventions are designed to improve the health and well-being of individuals and populations. However, these interventions often come at a cost, which raises the question of whether the benefits outweigh the costs. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and its application in healthcare decision-making.

Section 1: What is Cost-Effectiveness Analysis?
Cost-effectiveness analysis is a type of economic evaluation that compares the costs of a healthcare intervention to the benefits it generates. CEA is used to determine whether an intervention is worth the resources it requires. It helps decision-makers make informed choices about which interventions to implement and how much to invest in them.

Section 2: How is Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Conducted?
To conduct a CEA, analysts estimate the costs and benefits of an intervention. Costs include the direct costs of providing the intervention (e.g., drugs, medical supplies, personnel time) as well as indirect costs (e.g., lost productivity due to illness). Benefits can be measured in terms of improved health outcomes (e.g., reduced morbidity and mortality), increased quality of life, or avoided costs (e.g., reduced hospitalizations).

Section 3: Examples of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Healthcare
CEA has been used to evaluate a wide range of healthcare interventions, including preventive measures (e.g., vaccinations), treatments (e.g., antiretroviral drugs), and public health programs (e.g., smoking cessation campaigns). For example, a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine examined the potential cost savings of replacing brand-name antiretroviral drugs with generic medications for HIV treatment. The authors found that this change could save the U.S. healthcare system almost $1 billion per year but may diminish the effectiveness of treatment.

Section 4: Criticisms of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
While CEA can provide valuable information to guide healthcare decision-making, it is not without its critics. Some argue that CEA fails to account for all relevant factors, such as the value of human life or the importance of equity. Others contend that CEA is subject to uncertainty and error, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about cost-effectiveness.

Conclusion:
Cost-effectiveness analysis is a useful tool for evaluating the value of healthcare interventions. By comparing the costs of an intervention to its benefits, decision-makers can make informed choices about which interventions to implement and how much to invest in them. However, CEA is not without its limitations, and further research is needed to address these concerns and improve the accuracy and reliability of cost-effectiveness analyses.

Glossary:
- Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA): A type of economic evaluation that compares the costs of a healthcare intervention to the benefits it generates.
- Direct costs: The expenses associated with providing a healthcare intervention, such as drugs, medical supplies, and personnel time.
- Indirect costs: The costs incurred as a result of an intervention, such as lost productivity due to illness.
- Benefits: The improvements in health outcomes, quality of life, or avoided costs resulting from a healthcare intervention.
- Value of human life: The subjective value placed on human life, which is difficult to quantify and may vary across cultures and individuals.
- Equity: The principle of fairness, which states that individuals should receive equal access to healthcare regardless of their socioeconomic status or other demographic factors.

## Why use animation effects in a presentation?

Animation effects can make your presentation more engaging and visually appealing. They can help draw attention to important points and keep the audience interested. Here are some reasons why you might want to use animation effects in your presentation:

- To emphasize important points: Animation effects can help highlight key points in your presentation and make them stand out.
- To create a visual impact: Animation effects can make your slides more interesting and memorable, helping you convey your message effectively.
- To guide the audience's attention: Animation effects can help direct the audience's attention to where you want it to go, making your presentation more effective.

## Types of animation effects

There are many types of animation effects you can use in your presentation. Some common ones include:

- Fade in/out: This effect gradually reveals or hides the slide content.
- Zoom in/out: This effect enlarges or shrinks the slide content to draw attention to it.
- Fly in/out: This effect animates the slide content onto or off the screen.
- Rotate: This effect rotates the slide content to a new position.
- Wipe: This effect removes the slide content and replaces it with new content.

## How to add animation effects to your slides

To add animation effects to your slides, follow these steps:

1. Open the presentation file and select the slide you want to add an animation effect to.
2. Click on the "Animations" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. In the "Animations" pane, select the animation effect you want to use.
