SUMMARY:Historical International Classification for Diseases
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: prof. Alice Reid\, University of Cambridge\, dr. Mayra Murkens\, University of Groningen \nContent: The recently launched ICD10h coding system is designed to support historical demographers and historians in coding historical causes of death. Widespread adoption of this system across diverse countries and linguistic contexts will significantly enhance the comparability of research on historical cause-specific mortality patterns\, while preserving the integrity of the historical context. With the coding manual and the English historical causes of death strings file\, researchers can begin coding causes of death. However\, this process also involves tidying\, parsing\, and determining primary causes of death. \nYou can find the presentation in .pdf here.

SUMMARY:Causes of death sources around the world
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: Dr. Elena Crinela Holom\, Babeș-Bolyai University\, Cluj-Napoca; Dr. Grażyna Liczbińska\, Adam Mickiewicz University\, Poznań; Dr. Michail Raftakis\, University of Bologna \nContent: This lecture will provide an overview of available and digitized sources on individual and aggregate causes of death across Europe\, covering roughly the early 19th to mid-20th centuries. It will also incorporate insights from questionnaire responses collected from participants in the COST Action CA22116 – The Great Leap. Lastly\, by drawing on (historical) sources\, the lecture will provide insights into how causes of death were registered and classified by doctors\, priests\, and civil servants. \nObjectives: \n\nIntroduce the main types of data sources containing cause-of-death information.\nPresent key findings from the survey\, covering both aggregate-level and individual-level data.\nTo present and facilitate a collaborative discussion with participants on selected sources of cause-of-death data.\n\nRequirements: Active participation. \nRecommended reading: \n\nAlter\, G. & Carmichael\, A.

SUMMARY:Workshop Challenging the Leviathan of individual death records (1800-1950). A walk-in-clinic on automatic transcription
DESCRIPTION:The workshop is part of the COST Action project – The Great Leap and is aimed at scholars who are at an early stage of collecting individual-level death certificates (1800–1950). The goal of this workshop is to assist them in finding solutions to facilitate automatic transcription of records. In any case\, students or academics who simply want to learn more about the processes of automatic transcription of records are welcome\, also when they are not (yet) part of GREATLEAP. \nWe aim to leverage the extensive experience gained by colleagues who have successfully implemented automatic transcription techniques in the past (e.g. Belgium\, Spain\, Ireland\, Denmark\, the Netherlands). By pooling efforts and sharing accumulated experience in software development and calibration\, the workshop aims to provide faster\, more cost-effective\, and reliable solutions for those new to these processes. \nWe will bring together a committee of experts who will analyse the applications in advance and collectively propose potential solutions for the cases presented. Another objective of the workshop is to develop guidelines on best practices for automatic transcription of individual-level death certificates.The workshop is fundamentally organized into three parts. The first day will feature presentations by various specialists\, including computer scientists\, showcasing relevant case studies. It will also include a tutorial session on preparing and editing digital images for later digital recognition. The second day includes the presentation of concrete questions from participants (whether they are or not members of the Cost network)\, followed by expert feedback and an extended discussion period. The workshop will conclude with a roundtable discussion\, resulting in a document on best practices for automatic transcription of records. \nFlyer  \nProgramme \nReport \nScientific Committee \n\nAntero Ferreira (Casa de Sarmento\, Portugal)\nCiara Breathnach (University of Limerick\, Ireland)\nDiego Ramiro Farinhas (CSIC\, Madrid)\nPaulo Teodoro de Matos (ISCTE-IUL\, Lisbon)\nTiziana Margaria (University of Limerick\, Ireland)

SUMMARY:Online lecture 7: Health Inequality in the Long Run: Social and Spatial Dimensions of Mortality
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: Dr. Hannaliis Jaadla\, Department of Geography\, University of Cambridge \nContent: This lecture examines the long run patterns of health inequalities\, with a focus on the social and spatial patterns of mortality over the last 200 years. It explores the key questions about the measurement of both health inequalities and socioeconomic status\, and provides an overview of how mortality outcomes have varied across social groups and geographic regions\, revealing persistent disparities. \nObjectives: \n\nIntroduce the main concepts to study health inequalities: theoretical basis and measurement.\nDiscuss plenty of examples from the relevant literature.\n\nRequirements: Active participation. \nRecommended reading: \n\nBengtsson\, T.\, & Van Poppel\, F.
