Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Modeling Decisions for Artificial Intelligence, MDAI 2014, held in Tokyo, Japan, in October 2014. The 19 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. They deal with the theory and tools for modeling decisions, as well as applications that encompass decision making processes and information fusion techniques and are organized in topical sections on aggregation operators and decision making,



optimization, clustering and similarity, and data mining and data privacy.

Sommario/riassunto

These four papers supplement the book Contraception and Reproduction: Health Consequences for Women and Children in the Developing World by bringing together data and analyses that would otherwise be difficult to obtain in a single source. The topics addressed are an analysis of the relationship between maternal mortality and changing reproductive patterns; the risks and benefits of contraception; the effects of changing reproductive patterns on infant health; and the psychosocial consequences to women of controlled fertility and contraceptive use.
