Source text - English Welcome to all representatives of the governance groups!
Role of the Group
The formation of the new local and Yarra wide governance groups brings with it exciting opportunities for the Yarra community. Through collaborative relationships the group will work to address priority issues of Yarra Housing estates.
The Local Governance Group representatives will work to consult with the entire estate community, raise priority and emerging issues, work with key stakeholders on strategies to address issues, and then communicate key information and actions back to the estate community.
The group will develop and work on the annual community plan which addresses the priority issues, including safety and security, housing maintenance and service, training and employment and other activities on and around the estate.
The group will also focus on building relationships with all levels of government and other local agencies and other key stakeholders. It will support Place Management teams and the Yarra Wide Public Housing resident model.

Chinese to English: Effectiveness & Cost-Benefit of Influenza vaccine on Elderly Population in Beijing General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - Chinese 流行性感冒（流感）是由流感病毒引起的上呼吸道传染性疾病，其发病率、死亡例数以及给个人和社会带来的经济损失始终列于各传染病之首。，。流感疫苗接种是预防和控制流感的最有效方法，同时也降低了由流感及其并发症导致的医疗费用和劳动生产力损失"。因此世界卫生组织推荐流感疫苗每年应优先使用于65岁以上的老年人及其他高危人群"。接种流感疫苗可减少流感严重并发症或因流感加重其他疾病而导致的死亡率，并能够减少直接医疗费用"、为此，我们于2003年10月至2004年5月在北京地区部分老年人群中开展了流感疫苗接种后效果评价和成本效益分析研究。
1.研究对象：以北京巿朝阳区和宣武区60岁以上的老年人为研究对象，选取两区接种过流感疫苗，年龄60岁的老年人作为接种组观察对象。在社区中随机选择与接种组年龄、性别、健康状况等相匹配的未接种流感疫苗的相应人群作为对照组。并剔除近一年内接种过流感疫苗者，以及拒绝接受调查或随访者。共选取研究对象1192人，其中试验组5卯人，对照组602人。
2.研究方法：
(1)研究方法：采用流行病学类试验研究方法进行。试验组和对照组同时进行基线问巻调查。问巻调查的内容包括研究对象的性别、年龄、职业、既往病史、近一年内疫苗接种情况、目前呼吸系统、心脑血管系统疾病健康状况及其他慢性病情况。分别于流感疫苗接种（基线调查）后的第1、3和6个月对试验组和对照组同时进行随访问巻调查。随访问巻调査的内容包括流感样症状的发生情况、并发症发病情况以及由这些疾病导致的就诊次数、住院天数、医疗费用和误工费用。
(2)诊断标准和计算公式：①流感样疾病：采用国家标准，流感诊断标准及处理原则（0815944-1995):如果流行季节急起高热（腋温》3810)，并伴有下列症状中的2项，诊断为流感样疾病，如寒战、虚弱乏力、头痛、肌痛或关节痛、咳嗽、咽痛和鼻塞、鼻咽部的红肿。②接种成本：接种成本^直接成本(疫苗费用十注射费用）十间接成本（交通费用十不良反应的医疗费用）。③接种效益：接种效益^直接

Translation - English Study on the Effectiveness and Cost-Benefit of Influenza Vaccine on Elderly Population in Beijing
Please refer to the Chinese original for the Abstract.
Influenza (flu in short) is an infectious upper respiratory illness caused by influenza virus, with the highest number of incidence and deaths and largest economic loss to individuals and societies among all infectious diseases (1). Vaccination is the most effective measure for influenza prevention and management in addition to reduction of medical expenses and productivity loss caused by flu and relevant complications (2). Therefore the World Health Organization recommends annual priority flu vaccination for people over 65 and other high risk groups (3). Flu vaccination can reduce death rates caused by related serious complications and other illnesses exacerbated by flu as well as direct medical expenses (4). We therefore carried out post inoculation evaluation and cost benefit analysis for some elderly in Beijing between October 2003 and May 2004.
Target & Methodology
1. Target of Study: The target of the study is elderly people over 60 in the two districts of Chaoyang and Xuanwu in Beijing. The vaccination group is made up of people aged 60 and over who have received flu vaccination. People in the control group are randomly selected from the community who have not been vaccinated from similar age, gender and health demographics to the vaccination group, excluding people vaccinated within the past one year and those who declined the survey and follow ups. A total number of 1192 people are selected with 590 for the trial group and 602 for the control group.
2. Methodology:
1) The methodology has been used in epidemiological trials and studies. Both the trial and control groups take part in the baseline demographic study which includes gender, age, occupation, medical history, vaccination details within the past one year, current conditions of respiratory and circulatory systems, the brain and other chronic diseases. Follow up surveys are carried out for the two groups at the same time, one, three and six months after the vaccination. The questionnaire used in the follow ups includes questions related to incidence of Influenza like Illness (ILI) and complications caused by ILI, number of clinic visits, days of hospital stay, medical expenses and work hour loss resulting from such illnesses.
2) Diagnosis standard and formulas:
A. ILI: National Influenza Diagnosis and Treatment Standard is applied (GB15944-1995): ILI is defined as sudden onset of high temperature during epidemic season (armpit temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and above) with two of the following accompanying symptoms including chills, weakness and fatigue, headache, muscle aches or joint aches, coughs, sore throat, stuffy nose, and redness and swelling of the nasopharynx area.
B. Inoculation Cost: Inoculation Cost =Direct Cost (Vaccination Cost Injection Cost) Indirect Cost (Transport Expense Medical Expenses Related to Adverse Reactions).
C. Inoculation Benefit: Inoculation Benefit = Direct Benefit (Reduction of Flu Diagnosis & Treatment Expenses after Vaccination Reduction of Chronic Disease Diagnosis & Treatment Expenses after Vaccination) Indirect Benefit (Reduction of Number of Carers after Vaccination X Days of Care X Wage Per Carer Per Day); that is, Benefit of Vaccination = Per Capita Cost of the Control Group (Direct Cost Indirect Cost) - Per Capita Cost of the Vaccination Group (Direct Cost Indirect Cost) (according to figures published by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Labour & Social Security in 2003, the average daily wage of a Beijing resident is 95.78 Yuan).
D. Benefit Cost Ratio: Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) = Benefit of Vaccination (B) /Cost of Vaccination (C).
