UNCTAD Country LSCI
The LSCI indicates a country's integration level into global liner shipping networks. The LSCI is an index set at 100 for the maximum value of country connectivity in the first quarter (Q1) of 2006, which was China. The current version of the LSCI is generated from the following six components: (i) the number of scheduled ship calls per week in the country; (ii) deployed annual capacity in Twenty-Foot-equivalent Units (TEU): total deployed capacity offered at the country; (iii) the number of regular liner shipping services from and to the country; (iv) the number of liner shipping companies that provide services from and to the country; (v) The average size in TEU of the ships deployed by the scheduled service with the largest average vessel size and (vi) the number of other countries that are connected to the country through direct liner shipping services. The data on these components is provided by MDSTransmodal.
Power to know
The power to know is essential to ending the HIV epidemic—including knowing how to prevent the acquisition and transmission of HIV, knowing your HIV status and, if living with HIV, knowing your viral load. It is the power to understand one’s options and to take steps to ensure one’s health and well-being.
Executive Summary
Antimicrobials have been essential in reducing the burden of infectious disease in humans, animals and plants for decades. However, their effectiveness is now in jeopardy because several antibiotic, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal treatments no longer work because of antimicrobial resistance or AMR.
