Tuberculosis, the Canadian Lung Association/Canadian Thoracic Society and the New Millennium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Canadian Association for the Prevention of Consumption and Other Forms of Tuberculosis, parent to both the Canadian Tuberculosis Association and the Canadian Lung Association (CLA) with its medical arm, the Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS), carried the Cross of Lorraine (Figure 1) and the crusade against tuberculosis (TB) in Canada during the twentieth century. For these societies, the battle was joined long before government ‐ public health and communicable disease control ‐ took up the cause. Allied or unallied with government, these societies were party to no small measure of success. TB mortality was 165/100,000 people in 1908; TB morbidity was just under seven/100,000 people in 1999. Yet, continued success is stalled; the incidence of TB in Canada has not changed for 15 years, and globally, TB is undergoing an unprecedented resurgence. Why is this so, and what of the role of the CLA and CTS in the fight against TB in the new millennium?

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
