  Protecting older people against COVID-19

Indeed, outbreaks of COVID-19 have been reported at long-term care facilities in countries of the Western Pacific Region.  (...)

Indexing past the short-term pictures must cause a reference to a long-term picture, so the decoder must know how many short-term pictures it is expected to keep. (...) The default order is for the short-term pictures (i.e., pictures which have not been given a long-term index) to precede the long-term pictures in the reference indexing order. (...) The pictures stored in the multi-picture buffers can also be divided into two categories: long-term pictures and short-term pictures. A long-term picture can st

Two schemes are compared: H.263+ and the long-term memory prediction codec. Both codecs utilize Annexes D, F, I, J, and T. The H.263+ coder has to switch to INTRA frame coding each time a new sub-sequence starts. In contrast, for the long-term memory coder, the last reconstructed frame from sub-sequence n can be used for prediction of the first frame when sub-sequence n is coded again. The long-term memory decoder is informed about the use of the reference picture using the syntax specified in the core experiment description of long-term memory motion-compensated prediction (document Q15-D-66).

  Long-term care for older people: A new global gender priority | UN Women – Headquarters

Nevertheless, current debates about long-term care for older persons are remarkably narrow. (...) Second, even in developed countries where long-term care has been on the public agenda for some time, it is rarely discussed in gendered terms. (...) As this brief shows, however, long-term care always has costs, even if it is provided by family members on an unpaid basis.

The Long-Term Aspirational Goal (LTAG) report prepared by CAEP contains an analysis of scenarios on CO2 emissions, costs and impacts on aviation growth, in all countries especially developing countries. (...) Any forecast into the long-term future inevitably attracts significant uncertainty, as documented in the LTAG report.

  Preparatory Process

Overall, the regulatory framework should focus on the need to ensure long-term sustainable finance while reducing risks associated with short-term bubbles. (...) One impediment to long-term direct investment by institutional investors is that many investors do not have the capacity to do the necessary due diligence to invest directly in infrastructure and other long-term assets. (...) Which policy incentives have been found most and least effective in extending the transformation of savings into long-term investment? What market incentives might increase the demand for long term funds?
