Title = {Urban On-Demand Delivery via Autonomous Aerial Mobility: Formulation and
   Exact Algorithm},

Abstract = {The implementation of the autonomous unmanned aerial mobility is a game
   changer for the on-demand delivery service in the crowded urban setting.
   In this study, the first of its kind commercial unmanned aerial vehicle
   (UAV) urban delivery program in China is targeted. Different from the
   traditional ground pickup and delivery services, the aerial mode
   considers not only the time window constraints, but also the spatial
   conflicts incurred during the take-off and landing operations of UAVs.
   To obtain the optimal flying routes of the focused problem, a mixed
   integer programming model is formulated. Due to its inherent complexity,
   the optimal schedule cannot be attained within acceptable time via the
   off-the-shelf solvers. To help speed up the solving process, a
   branch-and-cut based exact algorithm is proposed, together with a series
   of customized valid inequalities. To further accelerate, a greedy
   insertion heuristic is designed to secure high-quality initial
   solutions. In the numerical section, it is observed that the algorithm
   proposed in this paper can help solve the real-life on-demand UAV
   delivery problem to near optimum (within 5\% optimality gap) within
   reasonable computation time (in 5 minutes). Note to Practitioners-With
   the increase of labor cost, the distribution cost increases very
   rapidly. In the meantime, the employment of automated vehicles for
   logistics reshapes the landscape of the urban last-mile delivery. As an
   efficient courier carrier, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is trending
   the autonomous delivery endeavour. When integrating UAVs into the urban
   delivery program, practitioners need to pay special attention to the
   scheduling of UAVs at the operational level in addition to the hardware
   of the UAVs. To help solve the UAV dispatch problem, we propose an
   online scheduling scheme, considering the spatial conflict constraints
   in the actual UAV operations. And an exact algorithm is designed to
   accelerate the solving process. Numerical experiments demonstrate that
   the proposed algorithm can achieve near optimal dispatch plan with 5\%
   optimality gap in 5 minutes. Furthermore, it is discovered that the
   demand pooling is an essential decision to make for UAV-based delivery.
   Longer pooling time can increase the UAV efficiency with more realized
   demand information, but too much pooling could lead to prolonged
   customer waiting and a low service level.},

Title = {Modeling Transportation Affordability with Cumulative Density Function
   of Mathematical Beta Distribution},
Journal = {TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD},
Year = {2013},
Number = {2397},
Pages = {53-60},
Abstract = {Transportation affordability refers to people's financial ability to
   access important goods and activities such as work, education, medical
   care, basic shopping, and socializing. Making transportation more
   affordable can produce considerable socioeconomic benefits by lowering
   the costs and boosting mobility for people who are more disadvantaged.
   More affordable transportation is equivalent to higher income. There are
   many factors to consider when evaluating transportation affordability,
   including housing affordability; land use factors that affect
   accessibility; the quantity, quality, and pricing of mobility options;
   and individuals' mobility needs and abilities. Traditional
   transportation planning takes hardly any transportation affordability
   considerations into account. Greater emphasis on this field would shed
   more light on affordability effects and help policy makers to identify
   more affordable transportation solutions. However, to take
   transportation affordability into account, there should be practical
   ways of evaluating it. This paper investigates the concept of
   transportation affordability and suggests a metric for its measurement.
   The metric calculates affordability on the basis of the trade-offs that
   households make between transportation and housing costs. The
   transportation costs considered include car ownership, car use, and
   public transport costs. The suggested approach can be applied to any
   spatial zone (e.g., neighborhood or other) to reflect the average
   expenditure that households are willing to make to satisfy their basic
   travel needs.},

Title = {Access to and value of information to support good practice for staff in
   Kenyan hospitals},
Journal = {GLOBAL HEALTH ACTION},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {8},
Abstract = {Background: Studies have sought to define information needs of health
   workers within very specific settings or projects. Lacking in the
   literature is how hospitals in low-income settings are able to meet the
   information needs of their staff and the use of information
   communication technologies (ICT) in day-to-day information searching.
   Objective: The study aimed to explore where professionals in Kenyan
   hospitals turn to for work-related information in their day-to-day work.
   Additionally, it examined what existing solutions are provided by
   hospitals with regard to provision of best practice care. Lastly, the
   study explored the use of ICT in information searching.
   Design: Data for this study were collected in July 2012.
   Self-administered questionnaires (SAQs) were distributed across 22 study
   hospitals with an aim to get a response from 34 health workers per
   hospital.
   Results: SAQs were collected from 657 health workers. The most popular
   sources of information to guide work were fellow health workers and
   printed guidelines while the least popular were scientific journals. Of
   value to health workers were: national treatment policies, new research
   findings, regular reports from surveillance data, information on costs
   of services and information on their performance of routine clinical
   tasks; however, hospitals only partially met these needs. Barriers to
   accessing information sources included: `not available/difficult to get'
   and `difficult to understand'. ICT use for information seeking was
   reported and with demographic specific differences noted from the
   multivariate logistic regression model; nurses compared to medical
   doctors and older workers were less likely to use ICT for health
   information searching. Barriers to accessing Internet were identified
   as: high costs and the lack of the service at home or at work.
   Conclusions: Hospitals need to provide appropriate information by
   improving information dissemination efforts and providing an enabling
   environment that allows health workers find the information they need
   for best practice.},

Title = {Qualitative Analysis of Community Support to Methadone Access in Kenya},
Journal = {SUBSTANCE USE \& MISUSE},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {56},
Number = {9},
Pages = {1312-1319},
Month = {JUL 29},
Abstract = {Background Methadone, as part of Medically Assisted Therapy (MAT) for
   treatment of opioid dependence and supporting HIV prevention and
   treatment, has been recently introduced in Kenya. Few low income
   settings have implemented methadone, so there is little evidence to
   guide ongoing scale-up across the region. We specifically consider the
   role of community level access barriers and support. Objectives To
   inform ongoing MAT implementation we implemented a qualitative study to
   understand access barriers and enablers at a community level. Methods We
   conducted 30 semi-structured interviews with people who use drugs
   accessing MAT, supplemented by interviews with 2 stakeholders, linked to
   participant observation in a community drop in center within one urban
   area in Kenya. We used thematic analysis. Results We developed five
   themes to express experiences of factors enabling and disabling MAT
   access and how community support can address these: 1) time, travel and
   economic hardship; 2) managing methadone and contingencies of life, 3)
   peer support among MAT clients as treatment ambassadors, 4) family
   relations, and 5)outreach project contributions. Crosscutting themes
   address managing socioeconomic constraints and gender inequities.
   Conclusions People who use drugs experience and manage socio-economic
   constraints and gender inequities in accessing MAT with the support of
   local communities. We discuss how these access barriers could be
   addressed through strengthening the participation of networks of people
   who use drugs in drug treatment and supporting community projects
   working with people who use drugs. We also explore potential for how
   socio-economic constraints could be managed within an integrated health
   and social care response.},

Title = {Transformative rural tourism strategies as tools for sustainable
   development in Transylvania, Romania: a case study of Sancraiu},
Journal = {WORLDWIDE HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM THEMES},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {13},

Month = {JUN 15},
Abstract = {Purpose
   According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, sustainable
   tourism is a form of tourism that meets the needs of present tourists
   and host regions, while protecting and enhancing the opportunity for the
   future. It aims at having a low impact upon the environment and local
   culture; generating income and employment; and ensuring the conservation
   of local ecosystems. This paper aims to examine the ways in which the
   development and promotion of a new tourism product based on unique rural
   heritage and traditions contribute to the development of sustainable
   tourism by relating the practices to the sustainable development goals
   (SDGs) 1, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 17.
   Design/methodology/approach
   Drawing on a literature review on the topic of sustainable rural
   tourism, this paper uses a case-study methodological approach and
   provides an example of a sustainable rural tourism destination from the
   North Western development region of Romania (Cluj County, Transylvania)
   to depict specific sustainable tourism practices. The study uses a
   comprehensive desk-research based on secondary data from key industry
   and academic sources.
   Findings
   The research findings show that sustainable rural tourism can greatly
   support the development of rural destination and makes a significant
   contribution to the sustainable development of the Romanian tourism
   industry, in general, and rural economies in particular, as shown in the
   case examined in the paper. Sancraiu represents an example of
   sustainable tourism practices that contribute to poverty reduction (SDG1
   - Target 1.A), provide decent work and ensure economic growth (SDG8 -
   Target 8.9), help reducing inequalities (SDG10 - Target 10.3), protect
   and safeguard the world's cultural and natural heritage (SDG 11 - Target
   11.4), promote responsible consumption and production (SDG 21 - Target
   12.b) and last but not least this destination demonstrates that
   development is only possible when partnerships are forged (SDG 17).
   Social implications
   This paper illustrates that fostering unique rural heritage and
   traditions can contribute to the sustainable development of
   destinations. Sustainable tourism practices contribute not only
   financially to a destination but also to its social infrastructures,
   jobs, nature conservation, adoption of new working practices and the
   revitalisation of passive and poor rural areas.
   Originality/value
   This paper examines and depicts sustainable rural tourism development as
   a transformative strategy contributing to the long-term viability of a
   rural destination. The research findings can be viewed as an example of
   good practice, which may be applicable to other geographic regions with
   similar contexts.},

Abstract = {Background: Despite governments striving for responsive health systems
   and the implementation of mechanisms to foster better citizen feedback
   and strengthen accountability and stewardship, these mechanisms do not
   always function in effective, equitable, or efficient ways. There is
   also limited evidence that maps the diverse array of responsiveness
   mechanisms coherently across a particular health system, especially in
   low-and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts. Methods: This scoping
   review presents a cross-sectional `map' of types of health system
   responsiveness mechanisms; the regulatory environment; and evidence
   available about these; and assesses what is known about their
   functionality in a particular local South African health system; the
   Western Cape (WC) province. Multiple forms of indexed and grey
   literature were synthesized to provide a contextualized understanding of
   current `formal' responsiveness mechanisms mandated in national and
   provincial policies and guidelines (n = 379). Various forms of secondary
   analysis were applied across quantitative and qualitative data,
   including thematic and time-series analyses. An expert checking process
   was conducted, with three local field experts, as a final step to check
   the veracity of the analytics and conclusions made. Results: National,
   provincial and district policies make provision for health system
   responsiveness, including varied mechanisms intended to foster public
   feedback. However, while some are shown to be functioning and effective,
   there are major barriers faced by all, such as resource and capacity
   constraints, and a lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities.
   Most mechanisms exist in isolation, failing to feed into an overarching
   strategy for improved responsiveness. Conclusion: The lack of synergy
   between mechanisms or analysis of varied forms of feedback is a missed
   opportunity. Decision-makers are unable to see trends or gaps in the
   flow of feedback, check whether all voices are heard or fully understand
   whether/how systemic response occurs. Urgent health system work lies in
   the research of macro `whole' systems responsiveness (levels,
   development, trends).},

Title = {Experience of perceived barriers and enablers of safe uninterrupted

Journal = {MIDWIFERY},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {67},
Pages = {95-102},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Objective: To identify barriers and enablers to conducting safe
   uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact (SSC) in the first hour after birth
   in a low-resource setting and to evaluate how health care professionals
   coped with the identified barriers after completion of an intervention
   package.
   Design and setting: A qualitative method using focus-group and
   individual interviews with health professionals at a governmental
   hospital in Uganda.
   Participants: 81 health professionals.
   Interventions: A 6-step intervention package including, amongst other
   things, showing a DVD on safe uninterrupted SSC following birth and
   discussing with the professionals what barriers and possibilities there
   were to changing practice to allow SSC for one hour.
   Measurements and findings: The thematic analysis of the intervention
   interviews yielded the following themes: Perceived barriers including
   medical events, psychosocial issues and standard midwifery practice;
   Pragmatic barriers including economic constraints in the hospital and
   community; Anticipated barriers by staff and families; Enabling events
   including staff involvement.
   Most of the barriers involving expenses were not solved. When the mother
   and infant had to move to the postnatal ward within one hour after
   birth, there were difficulties in keeping SSC during the transportation,
   but this obstacle was partly solved. A few mothers (i.e. depressed
   and/or adolescent) were considered to be unwilling to keep the infant
   skin-to-skin; this difficulty was not solved. Practising SSC led the
   participants to find advantages such as reduced work load and positive
   effects on pain during suturing.
   Conclusions: SSC following birth was shown to be applicable and accepted
   by the health professionals. The involvement of professionals had
   clinical implications, such as initiatives to broadcast the message of
   SSC by radio to the community and introduce SSC to women having a
   Caesarean section. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Background Home gardening is a strategy to improve nutrition and food
   security. More information is needed about optimizing gardens in
   different contexts.
   Objective The aim was to identify implementation barriers and
   facilitators for a home gardening intervention in rural Guatemala and
   inform future larger-scale interventions in the region.
   Design A mixed-methods implementation study using the RE-AIM (Reach,
   Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework was
   conducted from January 2019 to July 2020.
   Participants/setting Families (n = 70) in rural Guatemala participated
   in the intervention. Staff (n = 4), families (n = 6), and community
   stakeholders (n = 3) participated in interviews or focus groups.
   Intervention Participating households received seeds and seedlings for
   16 crops, garden construction materials, agronomist-delivered education
   and assistance, and a standard-of-care nutrition program.
   Main outcome measures Implementation data were collected from program
   records and observations, participant surveys, and interviews and focus
   groups. Crop count and nutritional functional diversity of home gardens
   were assessed.
   Statistical analyses performed Descriptive statistics were calculated
   for quantitative outcomes. Qualitative data were double-coded and
   organized into overarching themes.
   Results Reach: Ninety percent of eligible households participated. Child
   nutritional eligibility criteria was a barrier to reach. Effectiveness:
   Participants and stakeholders felt the intervention improved access to
   diverse foods. Cultivated crops increased an average of five species
   (95\% confidence interval {[}CI], 4-6) at 6 months, although not all
   were consumed. Adoption: The main community adoption barrier was water
   sourcing for garden irrigation.Implementation: Raised beds were the most
   common gardening method, with good adoption of agricultural best
   practices. Gray water filters and flexible implementation were important
   for participation. Maintenance: Crops failure rates were low. Seed
   availability was a sustainability challenge. Direct costs were 763 USD
   per household.
   Conclusions Interest and engagement with a home garden intervention in
   Guatemala were high. Gaps between garden production and consumption,
   access to water, and seed sourcing should be addressed in future work.},

Title = {Barriers to the provision of non-communicable disease care in Zimbabwe:
   a qualitative study of primary health care nurses},
Journal = {BMC NURSING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {21},
Number = {1},
Month = {MAR 18},
Abstract = {Background Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute significantly to
   the global disease burden, with low-and middle-income (LMICs) countries
   disproportionately affected. A significant knowledge gap in NCDs
   exacerbates the high burden, worsened by perennial health system
   challenges, including human and financial resources constraints. Primary
   health care workers play a crucial role in offering health care to most
   people in LMICs, and their views on the barriers to the provision of
   quality care for NCDs are critical. This study explored perceived
   barriers to providing NCDs care in primary health care facilities in
   Zimbabwe. Methods In-depth, individual semi-structured interviews were
   conducted with general nurses in primary care facilities until data
   saturation was reached. We focused on diabetes, hypertension, and
   depression, the three most common conditions in primary care in
   Zimbabwe. We used thematic content analysis based on an interview guide
   developed following a situational analysis of NCDs care in Zimbabwe and
   views from patients with lived experiences. Results Saturation was
   reached after interviewing 10 participants from five busy urban clinics.
   For all three NCDs, we identified four cross-cutting barriers, a) poor
   access to medication and functional equipment such as blood pressure
   machines, urinalysis strips; b) high cost of private care; c)poor
   working conditions; and d) poor awareness from both patients and the
   community which often resulted in the use of alternative potentially
   harmful remedies. Participants indicated that empowering communities
   could be an effective and low-cost approach to positive lifestyle
   changes and health-seeking behaviours. Participants indicated that the
   Friendship bench, a task-shifting programme working with trained
   community grandmothers, could provide a platform to introduce NCDs care
   at the community level. Also, creating community awareness and
   initiating screening at a community level through community health
   workers (CHWs) could reduce the workload on the clinic nursing staff.
   Conclusion Our findings reflect those from other LMICs, with poor work
   conditions and resources shortages being salient barriers to optimal
   NCDs care at the facility level. Zimbabwe's primary health care system
   faces several challenges that call for exploring ways to alleviate
   worker fatigue through strengthened community-led care for NCDs.
   Empowering communities could improve awareness and positive lifestyle
   changes, thus optimising NCD care. Further, there is a need to optimise
   NCD care in urban Zimbabwe through a holistic and multisectoral approach
   to improve working conditions, basic clinical supplies and essential
   drugs, which are the significant challenges facing the country's health
   care sector. The Friendship Bench could be an ideal entry point for
   providing an integrated NCD care package for diabetes, hypertension and
   depression.},

Title = {A home for body and soul: Substance using women in recovery},
Journal = {HARM REDUCTION JOURNAL},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {10},
Month = {DEC 20},
Abstract = {Background: We report on an in-depth qualitative study of 28 active and
   former substance addicted women of low or marginal income on the core
   components of a harm reduction-based addiction recovery program. These
   women volunteered to be interviewed about their perceptions of their
   therapeutic needs in their transition from substance addiction to
   recovery.
   Method: Data were gathered about women's experiences and essential needs
   in addiction recovery, what helped and what hindered their past efforts
   in recovery, and their views of what would constitute an effective
   woman-centred recovery program. The research was based upon the
   experience and knowledge of the women in interaction with their
   communities and with recovery programs. The study was informed by harm
   reduction practice principles that emphasize the importance of
   individual experience in knowledge construction, reduction of harm, low
   threshold access, and the development of a hierarchy of needs in regard
   to addiction recovery.
   Results: Three core needs were identified by study participants:
   normalization and structure, biopsychosocial-spiritual safety, and
   social connection. What hindered recovery efforts as identified by
   participants was an inner urban location, prescriptive recovery,
   invidious treatment, lack of safety, distress-derived distraction,
   problem-focused treatment, coercive elements of mutual support groups,
   and social marginalization. What helped included connection in
   counselling and therapy, multidisciplinary service provision,
   spirituality focus, opportunities for learning and work, and a safe and
   flexible structure. Core components of an effective recovery program
   identified by women themselves stand in contrast to the views of service
   providers and policymakers, particularly in regard to the need for a
   rural location for residential programs, low threshold access,
   multidisciplinary service provision of conventional and complementary
   modalities and therapies for integrated healing, long-term multi-phase
   recovery, and variety and choice of programming.
   Conclusion: A key barrier to the addiction recovery of women is the
   present framework of addiction treatment, as well as current drug laws,
   policies and service delivery systems. The expectation of women is that
   harm reduction-based recovery services will facilitate safe, supportive
   transitioning from the point of the decision to access services, through
   independent living with community integration.},

Abstract = {Based on surveys taken in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, it is
   safe to say that employing people from the 50+ age category is not very
   attractive for today's organizations. This, however, should change.
   Experts shed light on some of the benefits employing the elders has.
   They continue by disproving that older employees do not have sufficient
   potential for learning.
   Experts further propose that organization begin implementing a
   management system considerate to the employee's age age management,
   including recommendations in fields such as health care, job
   restructuring, adapting to work organization, shift management according
   to impulses by employees and other. (E-sondy.cz, 2012)
   Age management is a term used for activities, the purpose of which is to
   support the complex approach towards dealing with demographical changes
   at the workplace. Legitimate practice in age management was defined as
   measures contending with the age barrier or supporting diversity and
   activities ensuring each employee receives the opportunity to fulfill
   his or her potential and is not at a disadvantage due to age.
   (Pillinger, 2008)
   The article introduces the results of the quantitative and qualitative
   research that was conducted by the author while writing his doctoral
   thesis, which was focused on personnel management and specific features
   of employees of the age group 50+ in Czech and Slovak organizations.
   Results from the article predominantly focus on the philosophy of age
   management and its role in Czech and Slovak organizations, both from the
   viewpoint of employees and from the viewpoint of managements from
   addressed organizations.
   The article attempts to point out the potential and personal know-how
   50+ employees have, and which employers could appreciate and utilize for
   their competitiveness. Furthermore, it is necessary to realize that
   establishing age diversity within work groups or teams will become
   inevitable. Company culture, which should support the complex approach
   to the entire philosophy of age management, also plays an important role
   in implementing age management into the organization. Also considered
   significant will be providing effective training of managers in order
   for them to successfully implement company strategy and processes and to
   further support employee age diversity. This step shall help improve the
   relations between organization management and all employees, which will
   comprehensively reflect on the image of the organization that will be
   considered as an organization implementing the policies of individual
   approach to each employee.},

Title = {The time has come to make cervical cancer prevention an essential part
   of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for
   HIV-positive women in low-income countries},

Abstract = {Introduction: HIV and cervical cancer are intersecting epidemics that
   disproportionately affect one of the most vulnerable populations in the
   world: women in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Historically,
   the disparity in cervical cancer risk for women in LMICs has been due to
   the lack of organized screening and prevention programmes. In recent
   years, this risk has been augmented by the severity of the HIV epidemic
   in LMICs. HIV-positive women are at increased risk for developing
   cervical precancer and cancer, and while the introduction of
   antiretroviral therapy has dramatically improved life expectancies among
   HIV-positive women it has not been shown to improve cancer-related
   outcomes. Therefore, an increasing number of HIV-positive women are
   living in LMICs with limited or no access to cervical cancer screening
   programmes. In this commentary, we describe the gaps in cervical cancer
   prevention, the state of evidence for integrating cervical cancer
   prevention into HIV programmes and future directions for programme
   implementation and research.
   Discussion: Despite the biologic, behavioural and demographic overlap
   between HIV and cervical cancer, cervical cancer prevention has for the
   most part been left out of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services
   for HIV-positive women. Lower cost primary and secondary prevention
   strategies for cervical cancer are becoming more widely available in
   LMICs, with increasing evidence for their efficacy and
   cost-effectiveness. Going forward, cervical cancer prevention must be
   considered a part of the essential package of SRH services for
   HIV-positive women. Effective cervical cancer prevention programmes will
   require a coordinated response from international policymakers and
   funders, national governments and community leaders. Leveraging the
   improvements in healthcare infrastructure created by the response to the
   global HIV epidemic through integration of services may be an effective
   way to make an impact to prevent cervical cancer among HIV-positive
   women, but more work remains to determine optimal approaches.
   Conclusions: Cervical cancer prevention is an essential part of
   comprehensive HIV care. In order to ensure maximal impact and
   cost-effectiveness, implementation strategies for screening programmes
   must be adapted and rigorously evaluated through a framework that
   includes equal participation with policymakers, programme planners and
   key stakeholders in the target communities.},

Title = {Relative export competitiveness of the Cambodian rice sector},
Journal = {BRITISH FOOD JOURNAL},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {122},
Number = {12},
Pages = {3757-3778},
Month = {OCT 13},
Abstract = {Purpose In this paper, the authors derive time-varying relative export
   competitiveness (REC) of the Cambodian rice sector from 1995 to 2018 and
   examine the key determinants of the REC. Design/methodology/approach
   Three different REC indexes are calculated in this paper. The authors
   also developed the relative symmetric export competitiveness (RSEC)
   index for calculation of comparative advantage. The short-run regression
   (SRR) model was applied for capturing the determinants of the REC.
   Findings The study results reveal that Cambodia's rice exports became
   relatively competitive over time. The key findings suggest the Cambodian
   REC was strengthened as a result of a successful implementation of rice
   policy and rectangular strategy. The benefits gained from EBA and BRI
   were found to be the factors contributed to the REC. The higher per
   capita income had a positive effect on the REC, while higher domestic
   prices reduced the REC in some phases of the sectoral development.
   Research limitations/implications Further research is needed in two
   directions. First, the future studies might focus on other agro-products
   of Cambodia. Second, the development of the crop-specific factor
   endowment (CFE) model to consider the effect of endowment factors on the
   REC could be preferred in light of the data availability.
   Originality/value The research enriches the literature on the
   agricultural trade and provides a basis for further studies. This work
   makes a few contributions. First, it is the first study on the REC
   analysis for the Cambodian rice sector. Second, the latest 24-year data
   sets were covered. Third, a wide range of comparisons of REC among the
   world's top rice exporters was provided following implications of the
   various economic policies and foreign policy strategies, such as RS, EBA
   and BRI.},

Abstract = {In the digital age, the fields and professions related to computing are
   having an unprecedent impact on our lives, and on societies. As
   computing becomes integrated in fundamental ways in healthcare
   {[}10,11], labor markets {[}2,4], and political processes {[}3,6],
   questions about who participates and takes decisions in developing
   digital technologies are becoming increasingly crucial and unavoidable
   {[}7].
   A bottom line is that, if a rather homogeneous group develops most of
   the digital technologies, there is a risk that these technologies only
   consider a part of the population, and therefore unwillingly introduce
   biases or trigger exclusion. There are many intersectional
   characteristics - such as race, gender, or class - by which people can
   be part of an excluded minority. This keynote focuses on women as a
   gender minority in computing.
   In Western societies, the percentage of women participating in computing
   is low. According to a recent report for the European Commission, there
   are four times more men than women in Europe in studies related to
   Information and Communication Technologies {[}12]. Similarly, a study by
   the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that only 26\%
   of computing jobs in USA were held by women {[}13].
   Denmark is often viewed as a progressive country with gender equality;
   therefore, the gender homogeneity displayed in computer science
   education often comes as a surprise. In 2016, only 8\% of the incoming
   bachelor students were women at the Computer Science department at the
   University of Copenhagen (DIKU). This remarkable low percentage
   triggered many questions to us: How did a field initially led by women
   lost so many of them? Why is this an issue that society should care
   about? What are the practices and actions that help address this issue?
   Who should engage with those practices and actions?
   These are some of the questions that we have been addressing at
   FemTech(1), an action research project started in 2017 at DIKU. Action
   research is an approach by which researchers explore a problem, and
   develop theoretical understandings, while working on the development of
   solutions {[}9]. Unsurprisingly, our results show that there is no
   silver bullet to address the gender gap in computing. However, there are
   different strategies that can help broaden participation, and they come
   with their advantages and pitfalls.
   At FemTech, our efforts have been focusing in creating opportunities for
   people, and in particular young women with no prior interest in Computer
   Science, to explore ways in which computing could match their personal
   interests {[}1]. This approach is aligned with previous successful
   initiatives which suggested to create ``new computing clubs{''} instead
   of including women in existing clubs {[}5]; and differentiates from a
   `deficit' approach, by which the issue of gender diversity in computer
   science is framed as a problem of too few women, which can be addressed
   by bringing in more women {[}1].
   FemTech is a project with many developments and interventions. What
   started as a primarily educational initiative for women high-school
   students has evolved into a broaden initiative that seeks to address
   structural and cultural issues in computing {[}8]. The project has
   delivered many results, some of them especially tangible and measurable
   such as the increase of from 8\% to 18\% of women incoming bachelor
   students at the department in two years; and the decrease of the
   drop-out rate in the first year of the bachelor from 22\%-3.7\%.
   More importantly, throughout this project we have developed a great

Title = {Barriers and facilitators to infection control at a hospital in northern
   India: a qualitative study},
Journal = {ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND INFECTION CONTROL},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {6},
Month = {APR 8},
Abstract = {Background: Hospital acquired infections occur at higher rates in
   low-and middle-income countries, like India, than in high-income
   countries. Effective implementation of infection control practices is
   crucial to reducing the transmission of hospital acquired infections at
   hospitals worldwide. Yet, no comprehensive assessments of the barriers
   to sustained, successful implementation of hospital interventions have
   been performed in Indian healthcare settings to date. The Systems
   Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model examines
   problems through the lens of interactions between people and systems. It
   is a natural fit for investigating the behavioral and systematic
   components of infection control practices.
   Methods: We conducted a qualitative study to assess the facilitators and
   barriers to infection control practices at a 1250 bed tertiary care
   hospital in Haryana, northern India. Twenty semi-structured interviews
   of nurses and physicians, selected by convenience sampling, were
   conducted in English using an interview guide based on the SEIPS model.
   All interview data was subsequently transcribed and coded for themes.
   Results: Person, task, and organizational level factors were the primary
   barriers and facilitators to infection control at this hospital. Major
   barriers included a high rate of nursing staff turnover, time spent
   training new staff, limitations in language competency, and heavy
   clinical workloads. A well developed infection control team and an
   institutional climate that prioritizes infection control were major
   facilitators.
   Conclusions: Institutional support is critical to the effective
   implementation of infection control practices. Prioritizing resources to
   recruit and retain trained, experienced nursing staff is also essential.},

Title = {Related Factors for Impaired Fasting Glucose in Korean Adults: A
   Population Based Study},
Journal = {BMC PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {21},
Number = {1},
Month = {DEC 11},
Abstract = {Background Individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) who have poor
   health behaviors are at a greater risk for various health outcomes. This
   study compared the health behaviors and health literacy between
   individuals with non-IFG and IFG; factors that were associated with IFG
   were identified by sex. Methods This study was an observational study
   with a cross-sectional design based on data from the Korea National
   Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) that used a
   stratified, multi-stage, cluster-sampling design to obtain a nationally
   representative sample. This study analyzed the KNHANES Health
   Examination Survey and Health Behavior Survey from 2016 to 2018
   (N=9919). Multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to compute
   the odds ratios of health behaviors and health literacy to identify the
   risk factors for IFG. Results The prevalence of IFG among the total was
   29.0\% (weighted n=2826, 95\% CI 27.8-30.2). In the IFG group, 63.6\%
   were male and 36.4\% were female (X-2=320.57, p<.001). In multiple
   logistic regression by sex, the factors associated with IFG in male were
   as follows: age (50s; OR=2.36, 95\% CI 1.79-3.13), high BMI (OR=2.27,
   95\% CI 1.78-2.90), frequent drinking (OR=1.83, 95\% CI 1.23-2.72), and
   using nutrition fact labels (OR=1.35, 95\% CI 1.05-1.75). Low economic
   status (OR=4.18, 95\% CI 1.57-11.15) and high BMI (OR=2.35, 95\% CI
   1.29-4.28) were the affecting factors in female. On the other hand,
   employment status, perceived stress, and job type were not related to
   IFG in both male and female. Conclusions Strategies should be targeted
   to improve health behaviors and health literacy for those in their 40s
   and 60s, male in shift work, those who frequently dine out, overweight
   male, female with low economic statuses, and frequent drinkers.
   Moreover, healthcare providers should understand the barriers to health
   behaviors and literacy to effectively deliver healthcare service.},

   engineering assessment of barriers and facilitators},
Journal = {ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND INFECTION CONTROL},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {6},
Month = {SEP 2},
Abstract = {Background: Healthcare facilities in low-and middle-income countries,
   including the Philippines, face substantial challenges in achieving
   effective infection control. Early stages of interventions should
   include efforts to understand perceptions held by healthcare workers who
   participate in infection control programs.
   Methods: We performed a qualitative study to examine facilitators and
   barriers to infection control at an 800-bed, private, tertiary hospital
   in Manila, Philippines. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with
   22 nurses, physicians, and clinical pharmacists using a guide based on
   the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS). Major
   facilitators and barriers to infection control were reported for each
   SEIPS factor: person, organization, tasks, physical environment, and
   technology and tools.
   Results: Primary facilitators included a robust, long-standing infection
   control committee, a dedicated infection control nursing staff, and
   innovative electronic hand hygiene surveillance technology. Barriers
   included suboptimal dissemination of hand hygiene compliance data, high
   nursing turnover, clinical time constraints, and resource limitations
   that restricted equipment purchasing.
   Conclusions: The identified facilitators and barriers may be used to
   prioritize possible opportunities for infection control interventions. A
   systems engineering approach is useful for conducting a comprehensive
   work system analysis, and maximizing resources to overcome known
   barriers to infection control in heavily resource-constrained settings.},

Title = {Food supplementation for improving the physical and psychosocial health
   of socio-economically disadvantaged children aged three months to five
   years (Review)},
Journal = {COCHRANE DATABASE OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS},
Year = {2015},
Number = {3},
Abstract = {Background
   Undernutrition contributes to five million deaths of children under five
   each year. Furthermore, throughout the life cycle, undernutrition
   contributes to increased risk of infection, poor cognitive functioning,
   chronic disease, and mortality. It is thus important for decision-makers
   to have evidence about the effectiveness of nutrition interventions for
   young children.
   Objectives
   Primary objective
   1. To assess the effectiveness of supplementary feeding interventions,
   alone or with co-intervention, for improving the physical and
   psychosocial health of disadvantaged children aged three months to five
   years.
   Secondary objectives
   1. To assess the potential of such programmes to reduce socio-economic
   inequalities in undernutrition.
   2. To evaluate implementation and to understand how this may impact on
   outcomes.
   3. To determine whether there are any adverse effects of supplementary
   feeding.
   Search methods
   We searched CENTRAL, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and seven other databases
   for all available years up to January 2014. We also searched
   ClinicalTrials.gov and several sources of grey literature. In addition,
   we searched the reference lists of relevant articles and reviews, and
   asked experts in the area about ongoing and unpublished trials.
   Selection criteria
   Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cluster-RCTs, controlled clinical
   trials (CCTs), controlled before-and-after studies (CBAs), and
   interrupted time series (ITS) that provided supplementary food (with or
   without co-intervention) to children aged three months to five years,
   from all countries. Adjunctive treatments, such as nutrition education,
   were allowed. Controls had to be untreated.
   Data collection and analysis
   Two or more review authors independently reviewed searches, selected
   studies for inclusion or exclusion, extracted data, and assessed risk of
   bias. We conducted meta-analyses for continuous data using the mean
   difference (MD) or the standardised mean difference (SMD) with a 95\%
   confidence interval (CI), correcting for clustering if necessary. We
   analysed studies from low-and middle-income countries and from
   high-income countries separately, and RCTs separately from CBAs. We
   conducted a process evaluation to understand which factors impact on
   effectiveness.
   Main results
   We included 32 studies (21 RCTs and 11 CBAs); 26 of these (16 RCTs and
   10 CBAs) were in meta-analyses. More than 50\% of the RCTs were judged
   to have low risk of bias for random selection and incomplete outcome
   assessment. We judged most RCTS to be unclear for allocation
   concealment, blinding of outcome assessment, and selective outcome
   reporting. Because children and parents knew that they were given food,
   we judged blinding of participants and personnel to be at high risk for
   all studies.
   Growth. Supplementary feeding had positive effects on growth in
   low-andmiddle-income countries. Meta-analysis of the RCTs showed that
   supplemented children gained an average of 0.12 kg more than controls
   over six months (95\% confidence interval (CI) 0.05 to 0.18, 9 trials,
   1057 participants, moderate quality evidence). In the CBAs, the effect
   was similar; 0.24 kg over a year (95\% CI 0.09 to 0.39, 1784
   participants, very low quality evidence). In high-income countries, one
   RCT found no difference in weight, but in a CBA with 116 Aboriginal
   children in Australia, the effect on weight was 0.95 kg (95\% CI 0.58 to
   1.33). For height, meta-analysis of nine RCTs revealed that supplemented
   children grew an average of 0.27 cm more over six months than those who
   were not supplemented (95\% CI 0.07 to 0.48, 1463 participants, moderate
   quality evidence). Meta-analysis of seven CBAs showed no evidence of an
   effect (mean difference (MD) 0.52 cm, 95\% CI -0.07 to 1.10, 7 trials,
   1782 participants, very low quality evidence). Meta-analyses of the RCTs
   demonstrated benefits for weight-for-age z-scores (WAZ) (MD 0.15, 95\%
   CI 0.05 to 0.24, 8 trials, 1565 participants, moderate quality
   evidence), and height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) (MD 0.15, 95\% CI 0.06 to
   0.24, 9 trials, 4638 participants, moderate quality evidence), but not
   for weight-for-height z-scores MD 0.10 (95\% CI -0.02 to 0.22, 7 trials,
   4176 participants, moderate quality evidence). Meta-analyses of the CBAs
   showed no effects on WAZ, HAZ, or WHZ (very low quality evidence). We
   found moderate positive effects for haemoglobin (SMD 0.49, 95\% CI 0.07
   to 0.91, 5 trials, 300 participants) in a meta-analysis of the RCTs.
   Psychosocial outcomes. Eight RCTs in low-and middle-income countries
   assessed psychosocial outcomes. Our meta-analysis of two studies showed
   moderate positive effects of feeding on psychomotor development (SMD
   0.41, 95\% CI 0.10 to 0.72, 178 participants). The evidence of effects
   on cognitive development was sparse and mixed.
   We found evidence of substantial leakage. When feeding was given at
   home, children benefited from only 36\% of the energy in the supplement.
   However, when the supplementary food was given in day cares or feeding
   centres, there was less leakage; children took in 85\% of the energy
   provided in the supplement. Supplementary food was generally more
   effective for younger children (less than two years of age) and for
   those who were poorer/less well-nourished. Results for sex were
   equivocal. Our results also suggested that feeding programmes which were
   given in day-care/feeding centres and those which provided a
   moderate-to-high proportion of the recommended daily intake (\% RDI) for
   energy were more effective.
   Authors' conclusions
   Feeding programmes for young children in low- and middle-income
   countries can work, but good implementation is key.},

Title = {Poor recovery of households from out-of-pocket payment for assisted
   reproductive technology},
Journal = {HUMAN REPRODUCTION},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {32},

Abstract = {STUDY QUESTION: How do households recover financially from direct
   out-of-pocket payment for government subsidized ART?
   SUMMARY ANSWER: After a mean of 3.8 years, there was poor recovery from
   initiated financial coping strategies with the poorest households being
   disproportionatley affected.
   WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Out-of-pocket payment for health services can
   create financial burdens for households and inequities in access to
   care. A previous study conducted at a public-academic institution in
   South Africa documented that patient co-payment for one cycle of ART
   resulted in catastrophic expenditure for one in five households, and
   more frequently among the poorest, requiring diverse financial coping
   strategies to offset costs.
   STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: An observational follow-up study was
   conducted similar to 4 years later to assess financial recovery among
   the 135 couples who had participated in this previous study. Data were
   collected over 12 months from 73 informants.
   PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHOD: The study was conducted at a
   level three referral hospital in the publicacademic health sector of
   South Africa. At this institution ART is subsidized but requires patient
   co-payments. A purpose-built questionnaire capturing socio-economic
   information and recovery from financial coping strategies which had been
   activated was administered to all informants. Financial recovery was
   defined as the resolution of strategies initiated for the specific
   purpose of covering the original ART cycle. Results were analysed by
   strategy and household with the latter including analysis by tertiles
   based on socio-economic status at the time of the original expenditure.
   In addition to descriptive statistics, the Pearson Chi squared test was
   used to determine differences between socioeconomic tertiles and
   associations between recovery and other variables.
   MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: The participation rate in this
   follow-up study was 54.1\% with equal representation from the three
   socio-economic tertiles. The average duration of follow-up was 46.1
   months (+/- 9.78 SD) and respondents' mean age was 42 years (range
   31-52). The recovery rate was below 50\% for four of five strategies
   evaluated: 23.1\% of households had re-purchased a sold asset; 23.5\%
   had normalized a previous reduction in household spending, 33.8\% had
   regained their savings, and 48.7\% were no longer bolstering income
   through additional work. Two-thirds of households (60.0\%) had repaid
   all loans and debts. The poorest households showed lower rates of
   recovery when compared to households in the richest tertile. Complete
   recovery from all strategies initiated was reported by only 10
   households (13.7\%): 1 of 19 in the lowest tertile, 3 of 30 in the
   middle and by 6 of 24 households in the richest tertile (P > 0.05). No
   association was found between the degree of financial recovery and
   additional cost burdens incurred, including related to babies born; or
   between the degree of recovery and ongoing pursuit of ART.
   LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: The sample size was limited. The
   participation rate was just over 50\%. Results were dependent on
   participants' narrative and recall.
   WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: The willingness of patients to pay
   for ART does not necessarily imply the ability to pay. As a result, the
   lack of comprehensive third-party funding for ART can create immediate
   and long-term financial hardship which is more pronounced among poorer
   households. While more data on the impact of out-of-pocket payment for
   ART are needed to illustrate the problem in other low resource settings,
   the results from South Africa provide useful information for similar
   developing countries. The current absence of more extensive data should
   therefore not be a barrier to the promotion of financial risk protection
   for infertile couples, especially the poorest, in need of ART.},

Title = {The global nephrology workforce: emerging threats and potential
   solutions!},
Journal = {CLINICAL KIDNEY JOURNAL},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {9},
Number = {1},
Pages = {11-22},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Amidst the rising tide of chronic kidney disease (CKD) burden, the
   global nephrology workforce has failed to expand in order to meet the
   growing healthcare needs of this vulnerable patient population. In
   truth, this shortage of nephrologists is seen in many parts of the
   world, including North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and
   the African continent. Moreover, expert groups on workforce planning as
   well as national and international professional organizations predict
   further reductions in the nephrology workforce over the next decade,
   with potentially serious implications. Although the full impact of this
   has not been clearly articulated, what is clear is that the delivery of
   care to patients with CKD may be threatened in many parts of the world
   unless effective country-specific workforce strategies are put in place
   and implemented. Multiple factors are responsible for this apparent
   shortage in the nephrology workforce and the underpinning reasons may
   vary across health systems and countries. Potential contributors include
   the increasing burden of CKD, aging workforce, declining interest in
   nephrology among trainees, lack of exposure to nephrology among students
   and residents, rising cost of medical education and specialist training,
   increasing cultural and ethnic disparities between patients and care
   providers, increasing reliance on foreign medical graduates, inflexible
   work schedules, erosion of nephrology practice scope by other
   specialists, inadequate training, reduced focus on scholarship and
   research funds, increased demand to meet quality of care standards and
   the development of new care delivery models. It is apparent from this
   list that the solution is not simple and that a comprehensive evaluation
   is required. Consequently, there is an urgent need for all countries to
   develop a policy framework for the provision of kidney disease services
   within their health systems, a framework that is based on accurate
   projections of disease burden, a full understanding of the internal care
   delivery systems and a framework that is underpinned by robust health
   intelligence on current and expected workforce numbers required to
   support the delivery of kidney disease care. Given the expected
   increases in global disease burden and the equally important increase in
   many established kidney disease risk factors such as diabetes and
   hypertension, the organization of delivery and sustainability of kidney
   disease care should be enshrined in governmental policy and legislation.
   Effective nephrology workforce planning should be comprehensive and
   detailed, taking into consideration the structure and organization of
   the health system, existing care delivery models, nephrology workforce
   practices and the size, quality and success of internal nephrology
   training programmes. Effective training programmes at the undergraduate
   and postgraduate levels, adoption of novel recruitment strategies,
   flexible workforce practices, greater ownership of the traditional
   nephrology landscape and enhanced opportunities for research should be
   part of the implementation process. Given that many of the factors that
   impact on workforce capacity are generic across countries, cooperation
   at an international level would be desirable to strengthen efforts in
   workforce planning and ensure sustainable models of healthcare delivery.},

Title = {The role occupational therapy in the Solomon Islands: experiences and
   perceptions of occupational therapists and rehabilitation health workers},
Journal = {RURAL AND REMOTE HEALTH},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {19},
Number = {4},
Abstract = {Introduction: In most Western countries occupational therapy is well
   established as a crucial aspect of overall health care; however, in
   low-middle-income countries it is still an emerging profession. This
   article investigates the role of occupational therapy in the Solomon
   Islands by examining the experiences and perceptions of occupational
   therapists (OTs) and other rehabilitation health workers who have worked
   there.
   Methods: Using a qualitative research design, participants were
   recruited using purposive sampling, and data were gathered through
   in-depth interviews, diary entries and observations of an occupational
   therapy setting in the Solomon Islands. Ten participants were
   interviewed.
   Results: A significant role in health-promoting practices was revealed
   through the various tasks undertaken by OTs in the Solomon Islands,
   including influencing health policy and practice broadly through
   advocacy and education. Challenges relating to geography, cultural,
   language and resource barriers, and professional practice issues were
   identified. Implications for practice were drawn from the data including
   the need for culturally safe practice, pragmatism, creativity and
   practising across disciplinary boundaries.
   Conclusions: Results illustrate a clear role for occupational therapy in
   promoting health and sustainability of rehabilitation therapy services
   in the Solomon Islands, which also have relevance throughout Pacific
   island nations.},

Title = {The outsourcing bogeyman},
Journal = {FOREIGN AFFAIRS},
Year = {2004},
Volume = {83},
Number = {3},
Pages = {22+},
Month = {MAY-JUN},
Abstract = {WHEN a presidential election year coincides with an uncertain economy,
   campaigning politicians invariably invoke an international economic
   issue as a dire threat to the well-being of Americans. Speechwriters
   denounce the chosen scapegoat, the media provides blanket coverage of
   the alleged threat, and legislators scurry to introduce supposed
   remedies. The cause of this year's commotion is offshore outsourcing-the
   alleged migration of American jobs overseas. The depth of alarm was
   strikingly illustrated by the firestorm of reaction to recent testimony
   by N. Gregory Mankiw, the head of President George W Bush's Council of
   Economic Advisers. No economist really disputed Mankiw's observation
   that ``outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade,{''}
   which makes it ``a good thing.{''} But in the political arena, Mankiw's
   comments sparked a furor on both sides of the aisle. Democratic
   presidential candidate John Kerry accused the Bush administration of
   wanting ``to export more of our jobs overseas,{''} and Senate Minority
   Leader Tom Daschle quipped, ``If this is the administratior's position,
   I think they owe an apology to every worker in America.{''} Speaker of
   the House Dennis Hastert, meanwhile, warned that ``outsourcing can be a
   problem for American workers and the American economy.{''}
   Critics charge that the information revolution (especially the Internet)
   has accelerated the decimation of U.S. manufacturing and facilitated the
   outsourcing of service-sector jobs once considered safe, from backroom
   call centers to high-level software programming. (This concern feeds
   into the suspicion that U.S. corporations are exploiting globalization
   to fatten profits at the expense of workers.) They are right that
   offshore outsourcing deserves attention and that some measures to assist
   affected workers are called for. But if their exaggerated alarmism
   succeeds in provoking protectionist responses from lawmakers, it will do
   far more harm than good, to the U.S. economy and to American workers. S
   hould Americans be concerned about the economic effects of outsourcing?
   Not particularly. Most of the numbers thrown around are vague, overhyped
   estimates. What hard data exist suggest that gross job losses due to
   offshore outsourcing have been minimal when compared to the size of the
   entire U.S. economy. The outsourcing phenomenon has shown that
   globalization can affect white-collar professions, heretofore immune to
   foreign competition, in the same way that it has affected manufacturing
   jobs for years. But Mankiw's statements on outsourcing are absolutely
   correct; the law of comparative advantage does not stop working just
   because 401(K)plans are involved. The creation of new jobs overseas will
   eventually lead to more jobs and higher incomes in the United States.
   Because the economy and especially job growth-is sluggish at the moment,
   commentators are attempting to draw a connection between offshore
   outsourcing and high unemployment. But believing that offshore
   outsourcing causes unemployment is the economic equivalent of believing
   that the sun revolves around the earth: intuitively compelling but
   clearly wrong.
   Should Americans be concerned about the political backlash to
   outsourcing? Absolutely. Anecdotes of workers affected by outsourcing
   are politically powerful, and demands for government protection always
   increase during economic slowdowns. The short-term political appeal of
   protectionism is undeniable. Scapegoating foreigners for domestic
   business cycles is smart politics, and protecting domestic markets gives
   leaders the appearance of taking direct, decisive action on the economy.
   Protectionism would not solve the U.S. economy's employment problems,
   although it would succeed in providing massive subsidies to
   well-organized interest groups. In open markets, greater competition
   spurs the reallocation of labor and capital to more profitable sectors
   of the economy. The benefits of such free trade-to both consumers and
   producers-are significant. Cushioning this process for displaced
   however, sales-making TAA out of reach for those affected by it. It
   makes sense to rework TAA rules to take into account workers displaced
   by offshore outsourcing even when their former industries or firms
   maintain robust levels of production.
   Another option would be to help firms purchase targeted insurance
   policies to offset the transition costs to workers directly affected by
   offshore outsourcing. Because the perception of possible unemployment is
   considerably greater than the actual likelihood of losing a job,
   insurance programs would impose a very small cost on firms while
   relieving a great deal of employee anxiety. McKinsey Global Institute
   estimates that such a scheme could be created for as little as four or
   five cents per dollar saved from offshore outsourcing. IBM recently
   announced the creation of a two-year, \$25 million retraining fund for
   its employees who fear job losses from outsourcing. Having the private
   sector handle the problem without extensive government intervention
   would be an added bonus.},

Abstract = {Purpose Early intervention vocational rehabilitation (EIVR) can improve
   return to work (RTW) outcomes for people with spinal cord injury (SCI).
   However, mechanisms explaining how and why EIVR works are not well
   understood. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework describing
   key mechanisms of EIVR intervention effect following SCI. Methods We
   synthesised data from a realist literature review with data from
   interviews of people with SCI (n = 30), a survey of people with SCI who
   had received EIVR (n = 37), a focus group of EIVR providers and a focus
   group of community vocational providers. We first synthesised the
   literature review and interviews to develop an initial programme theory
   describing the contexts in which mechanisms are activated to produce
   EIVR outcomes. Then we used data from the survey and focus groups to
   further refine the EIVR programme theory. Finally, a conceptual
   framework was developed to support knowledge dissemination. Results By
   ensuring consistent messaging across the multi-disciplinary team, EIVR
   programmes establish and maintain hope that work is possible following
   injury. Conversations about work allow individuals to determine the
   priority of work following injury. These conversations can also improve
   self-efficacy by providing individualized support to envisage pathways
   toward RTW goals and maintain worker identity. The synthesised study
   findings highlight the contexts and resources required to trigger
   activation of these mechanisms. Conclusions EIVR key mechanisms of
   effect are not specific to SCI as a health condition, therefore enabling
   this framework to be applied to other populations who face similar
   impairments and return to work barriers.},

Title = {Improving treatment adherence for blood pressure lowering via mobile
   phone SMS-messages in South Africa: a qualitative evaluation of the
   SMS-text Adherence SuppoRt (StAR) trial},
Journal = {BMC FAMILY PRACTICE},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {16},
Month = {JUL 3},
Abstract = {Background: Effective use of proven treatments for high blood pressure,
   a preventable health risk, is challenging for many patients. Prompts via
   mobile phone SMS-text messaging may improve adherence to clinic visits
   and treatment, though more research is needed on impact and patient
   perceptions of such support interventions, especially in low-resource
   settings.
   Method: An individually-randomised controlled trial in a primary care
   clinic in Cape Town (2012-14), tested the effect of an adherence support
   intervention delivered via SMS-texts, on blood pressure control and
   adherence to medication, for hypertensive patients. (Trial registration:
   ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02019823). We report on a qualitative evaluation
   that explored the trial participants' experiences and responses to the
   SMS-text messages, and identified barriers and facilitators to
   delivering adherence support via patients' own mobile phones. Two focus
   groups and fifteen individual interviews were conducted. We used
   comparative and thematic analysis approaches to identify themes and
   triangulated our analysis amongst three researchers.
   Results: Most participants were comfortable with the technology of using
   SMS-text messages. Messages were experienced as acceptable, relevant and
   useful to a broad range of participants. The SMS-content, the respectful
   tone and the delivery (timing of reminders and frequency) and the
   relational aspect of trial participation (feeling cared for) were all
   highly valued. A subgroup who benefitted the most, were those who had
   been struggling with adherence due to high levels of personal stress.
   The intervention appeared to coincide with their readiness for change,
   and provided practical and emotional support for improving adherence
   behaviour. Change may have been facilitated through increased
   acknowledgement of their health status and attitudinal change towards
   greater self-responsibility. Complex interaction of psycho-social
   stressors and health service problems were reported as broader
   challenges to adherence behaviours.
   Conclusion: Adherence support for treatment of raised blood pressure,
   delivered via SMS-text message on the patient's own phone, was found to
   be acceptable, relevant and helpful, even for those who already had
   their own reminder systems in place. Our findings begin to identify for
   whom and what core elements of the SMS-text message intervention appear
   to work best in a low-resource operational setting, issues that future
   research should explore in greater depth.},

Title = {Engaging community health workers in maternal and newborn care in
   eastern Uganda},
Journal = {GLOBAL HEALTH ACTION},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {8},
Abstract = {Background: Community health workers (CHWs) have been employed in a
   number of low-and middle-income countries as part of primary health care
   strategies, but the packages vary across and even within countries. The
   experiences and motivations of a multipurpose CHW in providing maternal
   and newborn health have not been well described.
   Objective: This study examined the perceptions of community members and
   experiences of CHWs around promoting maternal and newborn care
   practices, and the self-identified factors that influence the
   performance of CHWs so as to inform future study design and programme
   implementation.
   Design: Data were collected using in-depth interviews with six local
   council leaders, ten health workers/CHW supervisors, and eight mothers.
   We conducted four focus group discussions with CHWs. Respondents
   included 14 urban and 18 rural CHWs. Key themes explored included the
   experience of CHWs according to their various roles, and the
   facilitators and barriers they encounter in their work particular to
   provision of maternal and newborn care. Qualitative data were analysed
   using manifest content analysis methods.
   Results: CHWs were highly appreciated in the community and seen as
   important contributors to maternal and newborn health at grassroots
   level. Factors that positively influence CHWs included being selected by
   and trained in the community; being trained in problem-solving skills;
   being deployed immediately after training with participation of local
   leaders; frequent supervision; and having a strengthened and responsive
   supply of services to which families can be referred. CHWs made use of
   social networks to identify pregnant and newly delivered women, and were
   able to target men and the wider family during health education
   activities. Intrinsic motivators (e.g. community appreciation and the
   prestige of being `a doctor'), monetary (such as a small transport
   allowance), and material incentives (e.g. bicycles, bags) were also
   important to varying degrees.
   Conclusions: There is a continued role for CHWs in improving maternal
   and newborn care and linking families with health services. However, the
   process for building CHW programmes needs to be adapted to the local
   setting, including the process of training, deployment, supervision, and
   motivation within the context of a responsive and available health
   system.},

Title = {Effects of a participatory community quality improvement strategy on
   improving household and provider health care behaviors and practices: a
   propensity score analysis},
Journal = {BMC PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {18},
Month = {SEP 24},
Abstract = {Background: Maternal and newborn health care intervention coverage has
   increased in many low-income countries over the last decade, yet poor
   quality of care remains a challenge, limiting health gains. The World
   Health Organization envisions community engagement as a critical
   component of health care delivery systems to ensure quality services,
   responsive to community needs. Aligned with this, a Participatory
   Community Quality Improvement (PCQI) strategy was introduced in
   Ethiopia, in 14 of 91 rural woredas (districts) where the Last Ten
   Kilometers Project (L10 K) Platform activities were supporting national
   Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) strengthening
   strategies. This paper examines the effects of the PCQI strategy in
   improving maternal and newborn care behaviors, and providers' and
   households' practices.
   Methods: PCQI engages communities in identifying barriers to access and
   quality of services, and developing, implementing and monitoring
   solutions. Thirty-four intervention kebeles (communities), which
   included the L10 K Platform, BEmONC, and PCQI, and 82 comparison
   kebeles, which included the L10 K Platform and BEmONC, were visited in
   December 2010-January 2011 and again 48 months later. Twelve women with
   children aged 0 to 11 months were interviewed in each kebele. Propensity
   score matching was used to estimate the program's average treatment
   effects (ATEs) on women's care seeking behavior, providers' service
   provision behavior and households' newborn care practices.
   Results: The ATEs of PCQI were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for
   two care seeking behaviors - four or more antenatal care (ANC) visits
   and institutional deliveries at 14\% (95\% CI: 6, 21) and 11\% (95\% CI:
   4, 17), respectively - and one service provision behavior - complete ANC
   at 17\% (95\% CI: 11, 24). We found no evidence of an effect on
   remaining outcomes relating to household newborn care practices, and
   postnatal care performed by the provider.
   Conclusions: National BEmONC strengthening and government initiatives to

Title = {Injuries as a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa: Epidemiology
   and prospects for control},
Journal = {EAST AFRICAN MEDICAL JOURNAL},
Year = {2000},
Volume = {77},
Number = {12, S},
Pages = {S1-S43},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Injuries are common and on increase in most developing countries,
   including sub-Saharan Africa. A large proportion of the injuries are
   caused by road traffic accidents, falls, burns, assaults, bites, stings
   and other animal-related injuries, poisonings, drownings/near-drownings
   and suicide. Globally, injuries are responsible for about five per cent
   of the total mortality, and the overall global annual costs were
   estimated in the late 1980s at around US\$500 billion. The burden and
   pattern of injuries in Africa and other developing areas are poorly
   known and not well studied. The incidence is on the increase, partly due
   to rapid growth of motorised transport and to expansion of industrial
   production without adequate safety precautions. This is a review of data
   on various kinds of injuries in developing countries with a focus on
   sub-Saharan Africa. A computerised search of the relevant literature
   published between 1985 and 1998 was conducted and a manual search of
   journals publishing texts on health in low-income countries and in
   tropical environments was also done. A few studies on injury prevention
   policy and on research related to injury epidemiology and prevention
   have also been identified and included. Bt is concluded that in a
   relatively typical East African area with a total mortality rate of
   1,300/130,000/year, injuries are likely to cause around 100 of these
   deaths. The corresponding total rate of significant injuries is
   estimated at 40,000/100,000/year with a breakdown as tabulated below.
   Estimated incidence of injuries and injury-related deaths in East Africa
   {[}GRAPHICS]
   Although a few surveys and other investigations of injuries have been
   conducted over the years, injury epidemiology and control remain
   under-researched and relatively neglected subject areas. Much needs to
   be done. Collection and analysis of injury data need to be standardised,
   for example regarding age groups, gender disaggregation and severity.
   Injuries and accidents should be subdivided in at least road traffic
   injury, fall, burn, assault, poisoning, drowning, suicide, homicide and
   others, and details regarding time and place, victim and main cause
   should be noted. Morbidity survey field staff should be informed that
   injuries are part of the illness concept and that questions should be
   asked accordingly. Details regarding the circumstances surrounding
   different injuries must be known to those who develop preventive
   programmes. Injury is a public health problem affecting some people more
   than others. Our ordinary environment - the home, the work-site, the
   street or road - represents various kinds of risk, and some of these are
   difficult to eliminate. Not only do we have to accept much of our
   environment with its existing houses, equipment, vehicles, transport
   systems, energy supply, toxic substances etcetera, many also suffer from
   various inherited or acquired conditions that increase the risk. We
   therefore need to develop safer and more ``forgiving{''} living
   environments where ordinary people can live and move around safely.
   Injury control activities may focus on different categories of injury.
   Road safety measures often include information and education campaigns,
   improved driver training, road design and maintenance, regular vehicle
   safety checks, separation of pedestrians from vehicle traffic, speed
   limits, safety belt, air-bag and helmet use, special training and
   control of public service vehicle drivers, bicycle lane separation, road
   lighting, reflectorised materials on clothing, review of the road
   traffic related legislation and law enforcement, and emergency medical
   services improvement. Domestic injuries can be prevented for example
   with window guards, child barriers at stairs, smoke detectors, clothes
   and furniture in less flammable materials, replacement of open stoves,
   stabilising of open lamps, fire-fighting equipment and practice,
   child-proof poison packaging and storage, safe disposal of toxic waste,
   home safety education of parents, and strict building code enforcement.
   Occupational injuries can largely be prevented if well adapted to the
   work environment. Research is required in several areas. An improved
   facility-based injury recording and reporting system needs to be
   developed and tested. There is need to combine data collection methods,
   such as interview surveys, hospital records, police records, focus group
   discussions and key informant interviews. The outcome of emergency
   medical care and of different forms of transport and referral needs to
   be determined. Different combinations of preventive interventions needs
   to be evaluated. This review is intended as guidance for those who need
   a broad overview of the subject of injury occurrence and prevention in
   Africa, for example in preparation for the development of injury control
   programmes or to help identify issues requiring further research in this
   field.},

Title = {The Fear Reduction Exercised Early (FREE) approach to management of low
   back pain in general practice: A pragmatic cluster-randomised controlled
   trial},
Journal = {PLOS MEDICINE},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {16},
Number = {9},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {Background
   Effective and cost-effective primary care treatments for low back pain
   (LBP) are required to reduce the burden of the world's most disabling
   condition. This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness and
   cost-effectiveness of the Fear Reduction Exercised Early (FREE) approach
   to LBP (intervention) with usual general practitioner (GP) care
   (control).
   Methods and findings
   This pragmatic, cluster-randomised controlled trial with process
   evaluation and parallel economic evaluation was conducted in the Hutt
   Valley, New Zealand. Eight general practices were randomly assigned
   (stratified by practice size) with a 1:1 ratio to intervention (4
   practices; 34 GPs) or control group (4 practices; 29 GPs). Adults
   presenting to these GPs with LBP as their primary complaint were
   recruited. GPs in the intervention practices were trained in the FREE
   approach, and patients presenting to these practices received care based
   on the FREE approach. The FREE approach restructures LBP consultations
   to prioritise early identification and management of barriers to
   recovery. GPs in control practices did not receive specific training for
   this study, and patients presenting to these practices received usual
   care. Between 23 September 2016 and 31 July 2017, 140 eligible patients
   presented to intervention practices (126 enrolled) and 110 eligible
   patients presented to control practices (100 enrolled). Patient mean age
   was 46.1 years (SD 14.4), and 46\% were female. The duration of LBP was
   less than 6 weeks in 88\% of patients. Primary outcome was change from
   baseline in patient participant Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire
   (RMDQ) score at 6 months. Secondary patient outcomes included pain,
   satisfaction, and psychosocial indices. GP outcomes included attitudes,
   knowledge, confidence, and GP LBP management behaviour. There was active
   and passive surveillance of potential harms. Patients and outcome
   assessors were blind to group assignment. Analysis followed
   intention-to-treat principles. A total of 122 (97\%) patients from 32
   GPs in the intervention group and 99 (99\%) patients from 25 GPs in the
   control group were included in the primary outcome analysis. At 6
   months, the groups did not significantly differ on the primary outcome
   (adjusted mean RMDQ score difference 0.57, 95\% CI - 0.64 to 1.78; p =
   0.354) or secondary patient outcomes. The RMDQ difference met the
   predefined criterion to indicate noninferiority. One control group
   participant experienced an activity-related gluteal tear, with no other
   adverse events recorded. Intervention group GPs had improvements in
   attitudes, knowledge, and confidence compared with control group GPs.
   Intervention group GP LBP management behaviour became more guideline
   concordant than the control group. In cost-effectiveness, the
   intervention dominated control with lower costs and higher
   QualityAdjusted Life Year (QALY) gains. Limitations of this study were
   that although adequately powered for primary outcome assessment, the
   study was not powered for evaluating some employment, healthcare use,
   and economic outcomes. It was also not possible for research nurses
   (responsible for patient recruitment) to be masked on group allocation
   for practices.
   Conclusions
   Findings from this study suggest that the FREE approach improves GP
   concordance with LBP guideline recommendations but does not improve
   patient recovery outcomes compared with usual care. The FREE approach
   may reduce unnecessary healthcare use and produce economic benefits.
   Work participation or health resource use should be considered for
   primary outcome assessment in future trials of undifferentiated LBP.},

Title = {Building a learning health system using clinical registers: a
   non-technical introduction},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {30},
Number = {7},
Pages = {1105-1118},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe how clinical
   registers were designed and used to serve multiple purposes in three
   health systems, in order to contribute practical experience for building
   learning healthcare systems.
   Design/methodology/approach - Case description and comparison of the
   development and use of clinical registries, drawing on participants'
   experience and published and unpublished research.
   Findings - Clinical registers and new software systems enable fact-based
   decisions by patients, clinicians, and managers about better care, as
   well as new and more economical research. Designing systems to present
   the data for users' daily work appears to be the key to effective use of
   the potential afforded by digital data.
   Research limitations/implications - The case descriptions draw on the
   experience of the authors who were involved in the development of the
   registers, as well as on published and unpublished research. There is
   limited data about outcomes for patients or cost-effectiveness.
   Practical implications - The cases show the significant investments
   which are needed to make effective use of clinical register data. There
   are limited skills to design and apply the digital systems to make the
   best use of the systems and to reduce their disadvantages. More use can
   be made of digital data for quality improvement, patient empowerment and
   support, and for research.
   Social implications - Patients can use their data combined with other
   data to self-manage their chronic conditions. There are challenges in
   designing and using systems so that those with lower health and computer
   literacy and incomes also benefit from these systems, otherwise the
   digital revolution may increase health inequalities.
   Originality/value - The paper shows three real examples of clinical
   registers which have been developed as part of their host health
   systems' strategies to develop learning healthcare systems. The paper
   gives a simple non-technical introduction and overview for clinicians,
   managers, policy-advisors and improvers of what is possible and the
   challenges, and highlights the need to shape the design and
   implementation of digital infrastructures in healthcare services to
   serve users.},

Title = {Geographic, Occupational, and Sociodemographic Variations in Uptake of
   COVID-19 Booster Doses Among Fully Vaccinated US Adults, December 1,
   2021, to January 10, 2022},
Journal = {JAMA NETWORK OPEN},
Year = {2022},

Abstract = {IMPORTANCE COVID-19 booster vaccine can strengthen waning immunity and
   widen the range of immunity against new variants.
   OBJECTIVE To describe geographic, occupational, and sociodemographic
   variations in uptake of COVID-19 booster doses among fully vaccinated US
   adults.
   DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional survey study used
   data from the Household Pulse Survey conducted from December 1, 2021, to
   January 10, 2022. Household Pulse Survey is an online, probability-based
   survey conducted by the US Census Bureau and is designed to yield
   estimates nationally, by state, and across selected metropolitan areas.
   MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Receipt of a booster dose was defined as
   taking 2 or more doses of COVID-19 vaccines with the first one being the
   Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) vaccine, or taking 3 or more doses of any
   of the other COVID-19 vaccines. Weighted prevalence estimates
   (percentages) were computed overall and among subgroups. Adjusted
   prevalence ratios (APRs) were calculated in a multivariable Poisson
   regression model to explore correlates of receiving a booster dose among
   those fully vaccinated.
   RESULTS A total of 135 821 adults completed the survey. Overall, 51.0\%
   were female and 41.5\% were aged 18 to 44 years (mean {[}SD] age, 48.07
   {[}17.18] years). Of fully vaccinated adults, the percentage who
   reported being boosted was 48.5\% (state-specific range, from 39.1\% in
   Mississippi to 66.5\% in Vermont). Nationally, the proportion of boosted
   adults was highest among non-Hispanic Asian individuals (54.1\%); those
   aged 65 years or older (71.4\%); those with a doctoral, professional, or
   master's degree (68.1\%); those who were married with no children in the
   household (61.2\%); those with annual household income of \$200 000 or
   higher (69.3\%); those enrolled in Medicare (70.9\%); and those working
   in hospitals (60.5\%) or in deathcare facilities (eg, funeral homes;
   60.5\%). Conversely, only one-third of those who ever received a
   diagnosis of COVID-19, were enrolled in Medicaid, working in pharmacies,
   with less than a high school education, and aged 18 to 24 years old were
   boosted. Multivariable analysis of pooled national data revealed that
   compared with those who did not work outside their home, the likelihood
   of being boosted was higher among adults working in hospitals (APR,
   1.23; 95\% CI. 1.17-1.30). ambulatory health care centers (APR, 1.16;
   95\% CI, 1.09-1.24), and social service settings (APR, 1.08; 95\% CI,
   1.01-1.15), whereas lower likelihood was seen among those working in
   food or beverage stores (APR, 0.85; 95\% CI, 0.74-0.96) and the
   agriculture, forestry, fishing, or hunting industries (APR, 0.83; 95\%
   CI, 0.72-0.97).
   CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest continuing disparities
   in receipt of booster vaccine doses among US adults. Targeted efforts at
   populations with low uptake may be needed to improve booster vaccine
   coverage in the US.},

Title = {The effect of providing women sustained access to HIV self-tests on male
   partner testing, couples testing, and HIV incidence in Kenya: a
   cluster-randomised trial},
Journal = {LANCET HIV},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {8},

Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Background HIV self-testing can overcome barriers to HIV testing, but
   its potential as an HIV prevention strategy for women in sub-Saharan
   Africa has not been assessed. We examined whether sustained provision of
   self-tests to women promotes testing among sexual partners and reduces
   HIV incidence.
   Methods We conducted a pair-matched cluster-randomised trial in 66
   community clusters in Siaya County, Kenya. Clusters were communities
   with a high prevalence of transactional sex, including beach communities
   along Lake Victoria and inland communities with hotspots for
   transactional sex such as bars and hotels. Within clusters, we recruited
   HIV-negative women aged 18 years or older with two or more sexual
   partners within the past 4 weeks. In each of the 33 cluster pairs, we
   randomly assigned clusters to an intervention and comparison group. In
   intervention clusters, we provided participants with multiple self-tests
   at regular intervals and encouraged secondary distribution of self-tests
   to sexual partners. In comparison clusters, we provided participants
   referral cards for facility-based testing. Follow-up visits and HIV
   testing occurred at 6-month intervals for up to 24 months. The primary
   outcome of HIV incidence among all participants who contributed at least
   one HIV test was analysed using discrete-time mixed effects models. This
   study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03135067.
   Findings Between June 4, 2017, and Aug 31, 2018, we enrolled 2090
   participants (1033 in the 33 intervention clusters and 1057 in the 33
   comparison clusters). Participants' median age was 25 years (IQR 22-31)
   and 1390 (66.6\%) of 2086 participants reported sex work as an income
   source. 1840 participants completed the 18-month follow-up and 570
   participants completed the 24-month follow up, which ended on March 25,
   2020, with a median follow-up duration of 17.6 months. HIV incidence was
   not significantly different between the intervention and comparison
   groups (1.2 vs 1.0 per 100 person-years; hazard ratio 12, 95\% CI
   0.6-2.3, p=0.64). Social harms related to study participation occurred
   in three participants (two in the intervention group and one in the
   comparison group).
   Interpretation Sustained provision of multiple self-tests to women at
   high risk of HIV infection in Kenya enabled secondary distribution of
   self-tests to sexual partners but did not affect HIV incidence.

Journal = {JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND WORK},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {33},
Number = {2},
Pages = {154-168},
Month = {FEB 17},
Abstract = {Preparing students for employment involves encouraging ownership of
   their employability and engagement in opportunities that can help them
   improve it. Industrial placements play an important role in this but
   declining numbers of students are undertaking them. Using data collected
   over a three-year period at a Business School in a UK university, this
   paper will explore an intervention based on nudge theory designed to
   increase the uptake of these placements. Drawing upon behavioural
   science, it will explore nudge theory and its criticisms. It will
   discuss the concept of employability, including the tensions between the
   necessity of promoting students' ownership of theirs and the inherent
   assumptions that they will engage in opportunities to achieve this.
   Critical assessment of how the nudge intervention worked will be
   provided, demonstrating how almost half of those `nudged' responded
   positively, thereby successfully increasing the uptake of placements. It
   will identify soft outcomes, notably the breaking down of some typical
   behavioural barriers to placements and encouraging students to think
   reflectively. It will offer recommendations for replicable practice in
   other universities; specifically a model for developing nudges not only
   in relation to employability but within higher education more broadly.
   It concludes by proposing a new pedagogic definition of employability.},

Title = {Provision of cervical cancer prevention services in Northern Uganda: a
   survey of health workers from rural health centres},
Journal = {BMC HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {21},

Abstract = {Background Cervical cancer is the leading cancer among Ugandan women,
   contributing to 40 \% of all cancer cases recorded in the cancer
   registry. Having identified the substantial impact of cervical cancer
   among Ugandan women, the Ministry of Health in 2010 launched a Strategic
   Plan for Cervical Cancer prevention and control. This study was
   conducted to determine if health workers working in rural health centres
   (HCs) III and IV in Northern Uganda provide cervical cancer screening
   services as recommended in the Strategic Plan. Methods A cross-sectional
   survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted among nurses,
   midwives and clinical officers working in rural HC III and IV in
   Northern Uganda. Data were entered in Epidata 3.1 and analysed using
   Stata 16 statistical software. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate
   analyses were performed. Any factor with p-value <= 0.05 was considered
   a significant predictor of outcome. Results We surveyed 286 health
   workers. Fifty-one (18 \%) health workers were screening women for
   cervical cancer. Fifty-eight (21 \%) health workers have guideline for
   cervical cancer screening in their HCs, 93 (33 \%) participants were
   trained to screen women for cervical cancer. Two hundred sixty-two (92
   \%) participants provided HPV vaccination. Two hundred forty-six (87 \%)
   participants were conducting health education about cervical cancer in
   their HCs. Factors associated with screening women for cervical cancer
   include: being a staff member from HCs III (AOR = 0.30, 95 \% CI
   0.13-0.68, p = 0.00), being staff of HCs that have organization to
   support cervical cancer screening services (AOR = 4.38, 95 \% CI
   1.99-9.63, p-=0.00), being a health worker who had been trained to
   screen for cervical cancer (AOR = 2.21, 95 \% CI 1.00-4.90, p = 0.05)
   and staff from HCs that has guideline for cervical cancer screening (AOR
   = 2.89, 95 \% CI 1.22-6.86, p = 0.02). Conclusions This study shows an
   overall structural problem related to the delivery of cervical cancer
   screening services in HC III and IV in Northern Uganda which the
   Strategic Plan has not addressed. These structural problems need urgent
   attention if the Uganda government and other sub-Saharan African (SSA)
   countries are to achieve the World Health Organization (WHO) 90-70-90
   targets by 2030 to be on track for cervical cancer elimination.},

Title = {``Now, with a bit more knowledge, I understand why I'm asking those
   questions.{''} midwives' perspectives on their role in the Greater
   Manchester health and social care partnership's programme to reduce
   alcohol exposed pregnancies},
Journal = {MIDWIFERY},
Year = {2022},

Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Objective: To understand midwives' perspectives regarding the effect of
   a programme of activities aimed at reducing alcohol exposed pregnancies
   at two NHS Trusts in Greater Manchester. The programme included new
   protocols for screening, a referral pathway for specialist support and
   alcohol training for midwives. Design and participants: Semi-structured
   interviews were conducted with 6 midwives working in antenatal care at
   the two Trusts over the telephone and via video conferencing. A review
   of the literature provided insight into contemporary midwifery practice.
   The Theory of Planned Behaviour was used to inform the interview
   schedule design. Data analysis used a Framework Approach and drew on a
   priori themes from the literature review. Findings: Participating
   midwives described objective screening practice using a validated tool
   on multiple antenatal occasions and were confident to discuss alcohol.
   Participants were cognisant of local and national policies and
   guidelines. Discussing alcohol was viewed as important and part of the
   midwife's role, beliefs which supported participants' intention to
   practice in line with new protocols. Maternal underreporting and denial
   of alcohol consumption was a key barrier to providing effective care.
   Key conclusions and implications for practice: The professional practice
   of participants was more in keeping with the Chief Medical Officer's
   recommendations than that reported in recent research from the UK and
   other high-income countries. However, from this small study it is not
   possible to attribute this directly to the local Reducing Alcohol
   Exposed Pregnancies programme. Training to prepare midwives to elicit
   more accurately details of maternal alcohol consumption may improve the
   efficacy of the programme. (c) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier

Title = {Pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative examination of
   ways of coping},

Abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic and related public health restrictions have
   impacted the mental health and coping strategies of many population
   groups, including people who are pregnant. Our study sought to explore
   the ways that pregnant people described coping with stressors associated
   with the pandemic. N = 5879 pregnant individuals completed the
   pan-Canadian Pregnancy During the COVID-19 Pandemic Survey between April
   and December 2020. We used descriptive statistics to quantify
   sociodemographic characteristics and thematic analysis (Braun \& Clarke,
   2006, 2019) to analyze n = 3316 open-ended text responses to the
   question ``Can you tell us what things you are doing to cope with the
   COVID-19 pandemic?{''} The average age of participants was 32 years (SD
   = 4.4), with the majority identifying as White (83.6\%), female
   (99.7\%), married (61.5\%), having completed post-secondary education
   (90.0\%), and working full-time (75.4\%). We categorized participant
   responses into two overarching thematic dimensions: (1) ways of coping
   and (2) coping challenges. Ways of coping included the following main
   themes: (1) taking care of oneself, (2) connecting socially, (3)
   engaging in pandemic-specific coping strategies, (4) keeping busy, (5)
   taking care of others, (6) creating a sense of normalcy, (7) changing
   perspectives, and (8) practicing spirituality. Coping challenges
   included the following: (1) the perception of coping poorly, (2) loss of
   coping methods, (3) managing frontline or essential work, and (4)
   worries about the future. Findings highlight important implications for
   targeted prenatal supports delivered remotely, including opportunities
   for social support, prenatal care, and mental health strategies.},

Title = {What Works and Does Not Work in a Self-Management Intervention for
   People With Chronic Pain? Qualitative Systematic Review and
   Meta-Synthesis},
Journal = {PHYSICAL THERAPY},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {98},
Number = {5},
Pages = {381-397},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Background. Self-management interventions fostering self-efficacy
   improve the well-being of people with chronic pain.
   Purpose. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the enablers (what
   works) and barriers (what does not) of incorporating self-management
   strategies for people in everyday life after completion of a pain
   self-management intervention.
   Data Sources. Major electronic databases (MEDLINE, AMED, PsycINFO,
   Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were
   searched from inception to July 2016.
   Study Selection. Study selection included qualitative and mixed-method
   studies that explored the perceptions of individuals with chronic pain
   after completion of a self-management intervention.
   Data Extraction. A thematic analysis approach was used to synthesize the
   review findings, and a Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of
   Qualitative Research (CER-Qual) Approach was used to assess the level of
   confidence.
   Data Synthesis. Thirty-three studies with 512 participants were
   included. Enablers to self-management included self-discovery-the
   ability to distinguish self (ie, body, thoughts, and feelings) from
   pain; feeling empowered by incorporating self-management strategies into
   practice; and supportive ambience via collaborative relationships with
   clinicians and support from family and friends. Barriers to
   self-management included difficulty with sustaining motivation for pain
   self-management; distress experienced from ongoing pain, anxiety, and
   depression; and unsupportive relationships with clinicians, family, and
   friends.
   Limitations. This review only included interventions that involved at
   least 4 self-management skills; thus, informative studies may have been
   missed. The follow-up period varied from immediately after the
   intervention to 72 months following the intervention; therefore, it is
   uncertain which of the key enablers and barriers were most influential
   long term. Only articles published in the English language were
   included; studies conducted in low-and middle-income countries could not
   be located.
   Conclusions. The sustained effort to self-manage chronic pain could be
   exhausting, and motivation could wane over time following intervention.
   Providing intermittent support in the form of booster sessions and peer
   support groups may be important. Person-centered care via shared
   decision making and guided problem solving is essential to facilitating
   ongoing self-management.},

Title = {The triad: initiation, transit and consolidation versus return of women
   that move from Tangier to Andalucia in a context of economic crisis},
Journal = {REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS REGIONALES},
Year = {2018},
Number = {111},
Pages = {157-180},
Month = {JAN-APR},
Abstract = {In this paper we analyze, on the one hand, the migratory process of
   women from Morocco to Andalusia in a context of economic crisis. And, on
   the other hand, the categories of influence in their process of social
   participation. For this, we have used a qualitative methodology through
   in-depth interviews. In the same way, it has been investigated in its
   speeches from a longitudinal approach taking into account three key
   moments in this question; the beginning, the transit and the settlement
   in the consolidation versus return to the society of origin. The results
   show how the expectations of women crossing the Mediterranean to reach
   Spain are built and blurred, demonstrating a lack of respect for human
   rights.
   1. Methodology
   In this work, we have not intended to measure the migratory phenomenon
   but to describe its determinants and through the discourses, try to
   identify the deep nature of this social reality, its relationship system
   and its dynamic structure. Neither, we have not started with a
   consolidated explanatory theory in scientific knowledge to, through the
   deductive method, verify or refute the behavior of certain paradigms in
   social reality. This has already been done successfully on occasions as
   we quoted below but, based on these and starting from the reality a
   migratory movement carried out by women, the present work has obtained
   the necessary information for its development from the qualitative
   methodology. The strategy that we carry out is oriented to discover and
   understand a concrete phenomenon and this methodology is what gives
   meaning to our research work. In this sense, we have carefully selected
   the key informants with the intention of collecting their speech and
   obtaining a broad vision of the experiences that come with the migratory
   processes of Morocco women in their process of social integration in the
   Autonomous Community of Andalusia.
   On the other hand, understanding that the phenomenon can not be analyzed
   only from the discourse of the social actors, we carry out an
   ethnographic method through participant observation, culminated through
   registration and observation of the social context, the way in which the
   social actors in their context, the attitude of the professionals, the
   public policies and norms of the context and the behaviors and attitudes
   of the actors who do not intervene in the first person of the migratory
   phenomenon.
   Therefore, in addition to the ethnographic method, the methodology that
   we have used has been qualitative, through the technique of
   semi-structured interview with a sample size defined by saturation,
   which reached 18 cases selected through a Sampling, given the nature of
   the population under study. (Ruiz Olabuenaga, 1996).
   The in-depth interviews were carried out in the city of Tangier and in
   the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The application of the in-depth
   interviews to our key informants was not intended, in any case, the
   statistical representation, but the socio-structural representation in
   relation to the objectives of this research work.
   In the same way we use two fundamental criteria when deciding who and
   how many women to interview: the sampling criteria of a practical nature
   and the sampling outside the control of the design.
   (I). Sample criteria of a practical nature have to do with the
   classification of two general types of interviewees: key and
   representative.
   The four questions or basic criteria that we considered in the selection
   of interviewees were: (i) who has the relevant information?; (ii) who
   are the most accessible women ?; (lii) who are more willing to report?
   And, (iv) who are better able to communicate information more
   accurately?
   Other requirements were also: (i) to be knowledgeable about the object
   to be investigated; (ii) that they were willing to speak, and (iii) that
   they represented different points of view when different perspectives
   existed on what was being studied.
   (II). Sampling out of control of the design synthesized several ideas
   and also had to do with the snowball procedure. Another issue to
   consider is the duration and repetition of the interviews that were part
   of the design tasks, some sample decisions were reviewed during the
   field work. The length of each interview session ranged from about
   forty-five minutes to some interviews over an hour long.
   It is important to emphasize that not only is it enough to ask who and
   how many women to interview, it must be considered that sufficient
   interviews must be conducted so that the interviewer feels that he has
   leamed everything that has to be learned and has verified these
   understandings through the most knowledgeable informants and that They
   deserve more confidence, from there came the principle of saturation.
   We also address two important aspects in the preparation of in-depth
   interviews. On the one hand, the selection of the most suitable
   interviewees. And on the other hand, the decisions on the most suitable
   conditions of date, place and record of the interviews.
   (I). About the researcher; It is interesting to ask how they can affect
   a research-interviewed interaction, since it is interviewed for research
   and knowledge purposes. Some interviews specified the training and
   special knowledge to make pertinent interventions in a conversational
   situation not always is easy. Decisions in this regard depended on the
   purposes of the study and other research contingencies.
   (II). About the date, place and registration; It became necessary to
   condition it to the interests of the study, combining a series of
   elements, without forcing, because to that extent the success of the
   interviews was largely dependent.
   Regarding the evaluative criteria of the quality of the interviews, we
   distinguished different groups of quality criteria applied. These
   include: (i) reliability criteria; (ii) credibility criteria; (iii)
   transferability; (iv) dependability; (v) authenticity and, (vi) ethical
   criteria.
   Likewise, a moderately alternative redefinition of the internal,
   external validity and reliability standards was applied. In our opinion
   we judge the credibility of the work applied for its transparency and
   coherence, since the quality of the information depended to a great
   extent on the collaboration of the interviewees, which entails serious
   ethical obligations towards them.
   In sum, the quality of the interviews applied is intrinsically related
   to the characteristics of the interviewed women and the ethical
   guidelines of the research. Jointly, informed consent and
   confidentiality play a key role. All these are criteria that we have
   taken into account in the evaluation of the quality of the interviews
   applied.
   Women were selected who:
   1. They intended to emigrate.
   2. In full transit.
   3. They would have completed the migration process for two years or
   less.
   The categories previously selected for the analysis have been defined
   through the following topics:
   1. The system of attributions of the beginning of the migratory process.
   2. The reception process and the contextual conditions of the receiving
   society.
   3. Comparative patterns of well-being in Morocco and Andalusia.
   4. Expectations, desires and feelings.
   5. Familiar social networks around the beginning of the migration
   project.
   6. Difficulties during transit.
   7. Perception of the migration project itself.
   8. Interference of the economic crisis in speeches.
   9. Perceptions about returning to their home society.
   2. The description of the methodological approach, a special condition.
   Work plan and description of the phases.
   The work plan developed in the different phases carried out consisted of
   the following actions:
   Phase I. Initial Conceptual Model.
   In the first phase called the initial conceptual model, we proceeded to
   review and analyze the literature related to our object of study. This
   phase corresponds to the exploration and analysis of the scientific
   production in the issue that concerns us and that directly links gender
   and migration.
   Together, we follow exhaustively the design of the model according to
   Miles and Huberman, (1984) who; ``Establishes that from the categories
   emerged in the bibliographic review, conclusions must be drawn up
   graphically so that the relationships between the named categories are
   described in detail.{''}
   In this context, we note that the field work was carried out in the city
   of Tangier (Morocco) and the Autonomous Community of Andalusia in the
   framework of various projects for Development Cooperation of the
   University of Jaen and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation
   Development (AECID)'. We resorted to using the intentional sampling
   procedure that allowed us to select the subjects in the sample. The
   sample was generated progressively where each subject proposed to other
   people they knew.
   At the same time we made use of participant observation or ethnographic
   observation. Three elements of this technique were taken into account at
   the time of its use; (I) social interaction, (ii) data collection
   protocol, and (ii) control of information.
   Phase II. Intermediate Model of Interviewees.
   In this second phase of the research, we proceeded to design the
   intermediate model, which starts from an empirical data, that is, from
   the experience on the subject to be studied.
   For this phase the interviews were structured in depth, whose questions
   were revealed by key informants and interviewed women, both of whom were
   intentionally selected. In order to do so, the criteria they used to
   contribute relevant information to our research were taken as criteria.
   In this sense, we use the snowball procedure. In this respect, the
   sample frame is the meanings. That is, those of the experience emerge.
   The snowball procedure allowed us to select the subjects of the sample
   arbitrarily, that is, allowed us to choose Moroccan women and key
   informants who presented very special characteristics. Once identified
   and with the available information they were asked to locate other
   members of the same study population, either by familiarity, knowledge
   or ease of access. The sample was generated progressively where each
   subject proposed to other people they knew.
   The analysis of the interviews was performed after the transcript. The
   transcripts were then sorted according to the application sequence where
   the statements of the informants were taken into account. Subsequently,
   a first sweep of data was made that allowed to be debugged the
   information that was repeated.
   In this sense, the theoretical basis of the research, the direct
   experience of the researchers, the different contributions of key
   professionals in this issue in Tangier and Andalusia, together with the
   application of the in-depth interviews, are guarantees that allowed to
   develop an exhaustive analysis Which is reflected with the development
   of the present investigation.
   Phase III. Final Conceptual Model.
   In the final conceptual model the observations and the discussion were
   elaborated according to the theoretical positions described in the
   theoretical review and with the answers of the people interviewed. The
   contrast of these two phases made it possible to formulate theorizing.
   Theorizing, according to Martinez, (1999): ``Is a way to look at the
   facts, to organize them and to represent them conceptually, through a
   new network of relations between the constituent parts.{''} From this
   point of view, the theory turns out to be the production of human
   intelligence, since imagination and experience have been part of the
   construction of knowledge.
   We consider that the content analysis as a way to approach an
   investigation, is a methodological complement that allows to obtain
   knowledge of precise and effective way. The systematization of
   information leads to the construction of a theorization, which is
   reached, to the extent that we appropriate the acquired knowledge.
   In sum, the design of the final conceptual model originated from the
   interaction and contrast of the matching elements of the categories and
   subcategories extracted from both the initial model and the intermediate
   model.
   Research objectives:
   1. Observe the legislative framework and immigration policies and
   integration models in the context of Andalusia and Tangier.
   2. Analyze the conditions and discourses that are generated in this
   migration process both in the context of departure, in transit and in
   the receiving society.
   3. Analyze the migration process of Moroccan women to Andalusia, based
   on their expectations, experiences and personal assessments.
   4. Identify the discourses around the exclusion processes that affect
   the Moroccan woman in the host society
   5. Design proposals for improvement, achieving the overcoming of the
   more generalist positions insofar as they identify the migratory
   phenomenon as unique.
   Results in relation to objectives.
   1. The exclusionary factors of this particular phenomenon are identified
   in such a way that proposes the adaptation of public policies and
   measures in which integration and socio-labor participation is the key
   axis of action and women are recognized in all areas of performance.
   However, it is recognized that certain changes in their societies of
   origin are also necessary.
   2. The speeches that are generated in the migratory process are
   analyzed. These discourses related to the intention to emigrate that is
   generated in the society of origin, in the transit and in the process of
   consolidation that takes place in the receiving society. It is
   highlighted that migratory flows bring into contact the systems of
   gender and social class inequality of two different societies: the
   society of origin and the host society. Therefore, the importance of
   analyzing these issues is recognized. This is why we have analyzed this
   migratory phenomenon in three key moments.
   {[}GRAPHICS]
   .
   The migratory process of Moroccan women, in their economic character,
   has a specific reception in a segmented labor market, with tasks of
   family and domestic care, surrounded by a great vulnerability, but which
   satisfies to some extent their migratory expectations.
   3. The current economic crisis suffered by Andalusia, for almost a
   decade, provokes that, although this is identified by the protagonists
   in forms that are ignored in their speeches, I acted as a mechanism to
   curb and expel female migration, or Precarization of underemployment to
   which they access.
   4. Different situations related to different moments of the migration
   are exposed within a frame of fatigue and wear. Subsequently, some
   perceptions of well-being are shown, in cases where women understand
   that their expectations have been met.
   5. We believe it is necessary, despite not being evident, an improvement
   in Spanish policies to improve the quality of life of women, to make
   proposals generated by the results of the analysis in the sense of
   improving the integration and social participation of Moroccan women who
   should have institutional resources in different areas, highlighting
   improvements in the current Aliens Act, access to the education system,
   labor insertion, language learning, accreditation of studies, gender
   violence, impartial media and poor housing.
   In our opinion, it is important to develop many positive actions and
   political will to achieve an optimal process of integration and social
   participation of women from Morocco in Andalusia.},

Abstract = {The outbreak of COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries is
   worrisome due to the social inequalities in these countries, their
   limited health budgets and the significant burden of other acute and
   chronic diseases. The leap in the number of cases in Brazil has imposed
   a huge strain on the healthcare system. We sought to provide a
   comprehensive overview of the challenges encountered by pharmacy
   services in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency in Brazil and
   discuss the role of clinical pharmacists in this context. Pharmaceutical
   services play a key role in the emergency response to the pandemic. The
   pharmacy workforce has been actively working to manage drug shortages,
   redesign workflow, and review drug formularies/protocols to improve
   safety for patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs). COVID-19
   patients may present high risk in the use of medications and clinical
   pharmacists can contribute substantially as part of a multidisciplinary
   team to improve outcomes in drug therapy in severe and critical illness.
   The participation of pharmacists as members of antimicrobial stewardship
   programs should be enhanced to ensure appropriate and safe use of
   antibiotics in this context. HCPs should be encouraged to seek
   improvements in the performance of pharmaceutical services and
   innovative practices to respond to the pandemic. Further studies are
   needed to generate knowledge on COVID-19 to improve patient care in
   vulnerable populations.},

Title = {The pervasive and unyielding impacts of cognitive-communication changes
   following traumatic brain injury},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE \& COMMUNICATION DISORDERS},
Year = {2023},
Month = {2023 JUL 10},
Abstract = {BackgroundCognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) are common in the
   traumatic brain injury (TBI) population. Despite this, there has been
   limited research that explores the long-term impacts of reduced
   cognitive-communication functioning on daily life for this population.
   AimsTo identify the long-term impacts of cognitive-communication
   impairment as reported by adults with TBI and their significant others.
   Methods \& ProceduresA qualitative descriptive approach grounded in
   phenomenology was used. Semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were
   conducted with adults with CCDs following TBI (n = 16) and their
   significant others (n = 12) to explore their lived experiences. Outcomes
   \& ResultsReflexive thematic analysis revealed an overarching theme of
   `The pervasive and unyielding impacts of cognitive-communication changes
   on daily life following TBI'. Within this overarching theme, three
   subthemes were identified: (1) self-awareness of communication changes;
   (2) fatigue; and (3) self-identity and life roles. Conclusion \&
   ImplicationsThe findings from this study highlight the long-term
   negative impacts of reduced cognitive-communication functioning on daily
   life. Health professionals supporting this population should consider
   ways to reduce the significant impact CCDs have on the lives of adults
   following TBI and their significant others. In addition, the findings
   highlight the importance of long-term rehabilitation services following
   TBI, with further research needed that explores how these services can
   be optimised. What this paper addsWhat is already known on this
   subjectCognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) affect the majority of
   adults who experience moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI)
   and encompass any component of communication that is affected by
   cognition. The hallmark characteristic of CCDs are breakdowns that
   affect social communication skills as well as cognitive-linguistic
   deficits. Combined, these can have dramatic implications for a person's
   quality of life, their level of independence, employment opportunities
   and social participation. There has been limited research to date that
   explores the long-term impacts of CCDs on the lives of adults following
   TBI. Further research that explores these impacts is needed to improve
   the support services and rehabilitation models of care available for
   this population. What this study addsThe overarching theme was `The
   pervasive and unyielding impacts of communication changes on daily life
   following TBI' with subthemes including changed communication,
   self-awareness of communication changes, fatigue and self-identity and
   life roles. The findings from this study highlight the long-term
   negative impacts of reduced cognitive-communication functioning on
   everyday functioning and quality of life as well as the importance of
   long-term rehabilitation services following TBI. What are the clinical
   implications of this work?Speech-language therapists and other health
   professionals working with this clinical population should consider how
   to address the significant and long-lasting impacts of CCDs. Due to the
   complex nature of the barriers experienced by this clinical population,
   an interdisciplinary targeted approach is advised wherever possible when
   providing rehabilitation services.},

Title = {Perceived barriers in accessing food among recent Latin American
   immigrants in Toronto},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR EQUITY IN HEALTH},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {12},
Month = {JAN 3},
Abstract = {Objective: In Canada, recent immigrant households experience more food
   insecurity than the general population, but limited information is
   available about the personal, cultural, and social factors that
   contribute to this vulnerability. This study focused on recent Latin
   American (LA) immigrants to explore their perceived barriers in
   acquiring safe, nutritious, and culturally-appropriate food.
   Design: A cross-sectional mixed-method design was applied to collect
   information from a convenience sample of 70 adult Spanish/Portuguese
   speakers who had arrived in Toronto within the last five years.
   Face-to-face interviews were conducted with primary household caregivers
   to obtain responses about barriers to acquiring food for their
   households; data were analyzed using a thematic analysis technique.
   Results: Four main categories of barriers were identified: limited
   financial resources; language difficulty; cultural food preferences; and
   poor knowledge of available community-based food resources and services.
   Inadequate income was the main impediment in accessing adequate food,
   and was related to affordability of food items, accessibility of food
   outlets and transportation cost, and limited time for grocery shopping
   due to work conditions. Language barriers affected participants' ability
   to obtain well-paid employment and their awareness about and access to
   available community-based food resources. Cultural barriers were related
   to food preferences and limited access to culturally-appropriate foods
   and resources.
   Conclusion: The main barrier to food security among our sample of LA
   newcomers to Toronto is limited financial resources, highlighting the
   need for policies and strategies that could improve their financial
   power to purchase sufficient, nutritious, and culturally-acceptable
   food. Linguistic barriers and limited information among newcomers
   suggest the need to provide linguistically-and culturally-appropriate
   information related to community-based food programs and resources, as
   well as accessible subsidized English language programs, in the
   community and at workplaces. Participatory community-based food programs
   can augment, in a socially acceptable manner, food resources and reduce
   the social stigma attached to food charity. Finally, it is crucial to
   monitor and evaluate existing social and community-based services for
   their accessibility, cultural appropriateness and diversity, and
   effectiveness.},

   inquiry study of asynchronous, provider-to-provider teleconsultations in
   Turkana, Kenya},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {15},
Number = {9},
Month = {SEP 15},
Abstract = {Non-physician clinicians (NPCs) in low and middle-income countries
   (LMICs) often have little physical proximity to the resources-equipment,
   supplies or skills-needed to deliver effective care, forcing them to
   refer patients to distant sites. Unlike equipment or supplies, which
   require dedicated supply chains, physician/specialist skills needed to
   support NPCs can be sourced and delivered through telecommunication
   technologies. In LMICs however, these skills are scarce and sparsely
   distributed, making it difficult to implement commonly used real-time
   (synchronous), hub-and-spoke telemedicine paradigms. An asynchronous
   teleconsultations service was implemented in Turkana County, Kenya,
   connecting NPCs with a volunteer network of remote physicians and
   specialists. In 2017-18, the service supported over 100
   teleconsultations and referrals across 20 primary healthcare clinics and
   two hospitals. This qualitative study aimed to explore the impact of the
   telemedicine intervention on health system stakeholders, and perceived
   health-related benefits to patients. Data were collected using
   Appreciative Inquiry, a strengths-based, positive approach to assessing
   interventions and informing systems change. We highlight the impact of
   provider-to-provider asynchronous teleconsultations on multiple
   stakeholders and healthcare processes. Provider benefits include
   improved communication and team work, increased confidence and capacity
   to deliver services in remote sites, and professional satisfaction for
   both NPCs and remote physicians. Health system benefits include
   efficiency improvements through improved care coordination and avoiding
   unnecessary referrals, and increased equity and access to
   physician/specialist care by reducing geographical, financial and social
   barriers. Providers and health system managers recognised several
   non-health benefits to patients including increased trust and care
   seeking from NPCs, and social benefits of avoiding unnecessary referrals
   (reduced social disruption, displacement and costs). The findings reveal
   the wider impact that modern teleconsultation services enabled by mobile
   technologies and algorithms can have on LMIC communities and health
   systems. The study highlights the importance of viewing
   provider-to-provider teleconsultations as complex health service
   delivery interventions with multiple pathways and processes that can
   ultimately improve health outcomes.},

Title = {Analysis of the Determinants of Domestic Tourism in Uruguay},
Journal = {REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS REGIONALES},
Year = {2017},
Number = {108},
Pages = {43-78},
Month = {JAN-APR},
Abstract = {This paper analyses the determinants of flows of domestic tourism in
   Uruguay in the context of an extended gravity model during the period
   2010-2012. This analysis is done at a disaggregated level, considering
   the bilateral flows between two regions (department) of the country, one
   as source of tourism and the other as the destination. Gravity models
   suggest that tourist flows depend positively on the size of each region
   (department in Uruguay) and negatively on the distance between them. The
   extended version includes explanatory variables to characterize the
   supply and demand for domestic tourism.
   Three models are estimated, one for each year, which allows to compare
   and to estimate the robustness of the results. The methodology of
   estimating applied (following Santos, Silva and Teynero 2006)) was
   Pseudo-Poisson Maximum Likelihood with cross-section data which has been
   proven, is one of the most appropriate for estimating gravity models.
   Domestic tourist flows are represented from the number of trips from one
   region (department) to another, for the 19 departments of the country
   within a calendar year.
   Results obtained in this paper constitute a first contribution to the
   analysis of the determinants of domestic tourist movements, and provides
   potentially valuable information for decision-making of public and
   private sectors (planning strategies, policy, marketing, communication).
   The study shows that tourist flows depend positively on the size of
   population of each department and negatively of the distance that
   separates them. This result is in line with the general gravity models
   and also with the results recently found in another countries (Galvez,
   Muro and Such, 2014; Massida and Etzo, 2012; Marrocu and Pacci, 2013).
   The regions (departments) with higher income and the capital of the
   country (Montevideo) are the main sources of domestic tourists. The
   research also shows that the departments that share a border have
   greater tourist flows between each other. In addition, departments with
   ocean coasts or good quality accommodation have a significant
   comparative advantage over the others.
   On the demand side, income earnings of people, as well as being
   determinant of the number of tourists that a department emits, has an
   elasticity greater than unity, showing that domestic tourism behaves as
   a luxury good. It is important to highlight the role that the capital as
   an issuer of tourists. Montevideo is the city where the main terminals
   of public transport are located and begins the national road network,
   allowing direct connection of the city with any department of the
   interior. The results suggest also that strategies of communication and
   promotion of tourism products and destinations, both public and private
   utilities, are oriented towards/from the capital (Montevideo) and the
   regions with higher levels of population and income. In this regard, it
   is important to think of better transport links between the different
   departmental capitals that, although have transport infrastructure
   (terminals and road network), in some cases, do not have direct mobility
   to all departments if no prior connection to Montevideo.
   From the supply-side point of view, the Atlantic Ocean beaches are the
   main comparative advantage of the departments as a tourist destination.
   This is the reason that explains the fact that the departments of
   Maldonado and Rocha concentrate much of the tourism of sun and beach
   during the summer months. One of the unexpected results of this work was
   the negative impact on incoming tourism flows of the departments that
   have coasts on the Rio de la Plata. This result is closely related to
   the concentration of domestic tourism in the summer season where the
   preferences of tourists are sun and beach, and the quality of water and
   sand is better on the Atlantic coast.
   Additionally, it was found that the existence of good quality
   accommodation (3-5 stars) causes a differential effect on the decision
   about which department tourists choose to vacation. Controlled by the
   other factors, the existence of differential lodging has a positive and
   differential effect on the inflow of tourists.
   Finally, there is a negative effect on domestic tourism flows if
   departments share border with Argentina. In these regions, the border
   effect is clearly unfavourable. Therefore, in these cases should be
   maximized efforts to improve the competitiveness of services, from the
   quality of services provided and tourism products offered.
   In more general terms, the results show the rationality of that
   communication strategies and promotion of tourism products and
   destinations, are geared towards Montevideo and the departments with
   major population and income per capita. It is also important to address
   these efforts to neighbours departments, as empirical evidence shows a
   positive relationship between tourist flows and the fact that
   departments share administrative boundaries.
   In terms of the policy implications of these results, it would be
   interesting to think of departmental or regional agreements for the
   creation of a network of promotion, where the adjoining departments can
   benefit from the implementation of joint tourist promotion strategies.
   Finally, thinking of an efficient marketing, this work provides relevant
   information on the system components of internal tourism in Uruguay: the
   peculiarities of the source market of tourists in the country and also
   provides information on the competitive position of destinations. Taking
   into account these information would help to attract and retain domestic
   tourists.
   Thinking in extensions of this work, a first one that emerges is the
   incorporation of the information for the years 2013 onwards (not
   available at the date of preparation of this paper). For example,
   extending the information a couple of years would enable applying other
   estimation techniques (pool cross section and panel data) that would
   enrich the analysis. In turn, it would make it possible to analyse the
   robustness of the results obtained by applying alternative estimation
   methods (Models Zero Inflated, etc.) and to explore a better way to
   capture the effect of the (not significant as these results)
   multilateral resistance.
   Moreover, the desegregation of analysis between tourist flows
   corresponding to regular trips, no regular trips and excursions, could
   yield to relevant results for public policy. Regular trips have
   different characteristics than the other (more associated with vacation
   travel) and it is important to considering them separately.
   Finally, another possible variant of this study is to consider a
   different regional disaggregation, for example using the regionalization
   criteria defined by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, grouping them in
   six tourist areas (Montevideo, Southeast, Central, South west, Coast,
   North).},

Title = {Barriers to supportive care during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in
   West Africa: Results of a qualitative study},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {13},
Number = {9},
Month = {SEP 5},
Abstract = {Background
   During the 2013-2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak, supportive care was the
   only non-experimental treatment option for patients with Ebola virus
   disease (EVD). However, providing care that would otherwise be routine
   for most clinical settings in the context of a highly contagious and
   lethal pathogen is much more challenging. The objective of this study
   was to document and deepen understanding of barriers to provision of
   supportive care in Ebola treatment units (ETUs) as perceived by those
   involved in care delivery during the outbreak.
   Methods
   This qualitative study consisted of 29 in-depth semi-structured
   interviews with stakeholders (decision-makers, physicians, nurses)
   involved in patient care delivery during the outbreak. Analysis
   consisted of interview debriefing and team-based transcript coding in
   NVivo10 software using thematic analysis.
   Findings
   Participants emphasized three interconnected barriers to providing
   high-quality supportive care during the outbreak: 1) lack of material
   and human resources in ETUs; 2) ETU organizational structure limiting
   the provision of supportive clinical care; and 3) delayed and poorly
   coordinated policies limiting the effectiveness of global and national
   responses. Participants also noted the ethical complexities of defining
   and enacting best clinical practices in low-income countries. They noted
   tension between, on one hand, scaling up minimal care and investing in
   clinical care preparedness to a level sustainable in West Africa and, on
   the other, providing a higher level of supportive care, which in
   low-resource health systems would require important investments.
   Conclusion
   Our findings identified potentially modifiable barriers to the delivery
   of supportive care to patients with EVD in West Africa. Addressing these
   in the inter-outbreak period will be useful to improve patient care and
   outcomes during inevitable future outbreaks. Promoting community trust
   and engagement through long-term capacity building of the healthcare
   work-force and infrastructure would increase both health system
   resilience and ability to handle other outbreaks of emerging diseases.},

Volume = {22},

Pages = {283-294},

Abstract = {The objective of this study was to examine whether aspects of the
   patient-physician relationship for breast cancer patients have an
   influence on the change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after
   inpatient rehabilitation.
   N = 329 breast cancer patients undergoing inpatient rehabilitation in
   Germany were surveyed using questionnaires at the beginning of
   rehabilitation, end of rehabilitation, and 6 months after
   rehabilitation. Multiple imputations and multilevel models of change
   were used in the data analyses.
   Even after comprehensive adjustment for sociodemographic, medical,
   psychological variables, and center effects, aspects of the
   physician-patient relationship were statistically and clinically
   relevant predictors of HRQOL after rehabilitation. Satisfaction with
   physician's care appears to have a rather short-term effect, but the
   effect of promoting patient participation can still be partially
   determined 6 months after rehabilitation. Other important predictors of
   HRQOL improvement are optimism, higher level of education, higher
   income, living with a partner, and the ability to work.
   By taking into consideration the patient's communication and
   participation needs, physicians can contribute to an improved HRQOL
   after rehabilitation. The high predictive power of socioeconomic factors
   shows that rehabilitation care can be more effective if it accounts for
   the specific situation of socially disadvantaged individuals.},

Title = {DISRUPTIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: MITIGATING ISSUES OF ACCESS AND SUCCESS
   IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC},
Journal = {SOUTH AFRICAN JOURNAL OF HIGHER EDUCATION},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {36},
Number = {4},
Pages = {6-20},
Abstract = {Disruptions create both new opportunities and challenges in higher
   education. In settled times, education systems plod along with an
   assumed and uncritical acceptance of normalcy of the status-quo. When
   the status quo is disrupted, suddenly the patched-up cracks reveal the
   depth and magnitude of the simmering problems of the sector in graphic
   ways.Access and success are arguably the two most poignant indicators of
   the performance of higher education systems. In post-colonial societies
   such as South Africa, access is used to estimate progress in broadening
   participation in higher education, particularly to young people from
   previously disadvantaged communities. Access has two broad meanings:
   increased enrolments and enhanced epistemological impact. Success, on
   the other hand is measured variously but mainly through graduation and
   progression rates across different socio-economic higher education
   students groups and also on the quality of their performances.In this
   article we provide a theoretical discussion of the notions of
   disruptions and their impact in higher education; examine the questions
   of access and success in higher education; and conclude that the chasm
   lying between access by participation and access by success requires
   substantial transformation of a knowledge system that is alien to the
   cultural context of the country; rebalancing and recalibrating the
   broader ideological environment that privileges liberalism while paying
   token attention to social justice and inclusion beyond mere symbolism;
   and a persistent refocusing on emancipatory pedagogies, designed to
   liberate rather than subjugate graduates into pigeon holed choices in
   the labour market which are designed to serve the needs of owners of
   capital as the primary motive of employment.We conclude by identifying
   critical factors that appear to lead to a failure by universities to
   bridge the gap between access by participation and access by success or
   epistemological access.Most of these tend to be structurally embedded in
   the fabric of higher education institutions and the sector and include,
   a persistent coloniality of the sector, disjuncture between the intended
   ideological framework guiding national development and the operating
   economic models and institutional inertia to move beyond the canonical
   bases of higher education based on western epistemes.},

Abstract = {Introduction: There has been a sharp increase in the use of digital
   health interventions in global health, particularly mobile health
   applications, in recent years. The extreme shortage of health care
   providers trained in mental health screening and intervention in low-
   and middle-income countries raises questions about the applicability of
   mobile applications to deliver these services due to their accessibility
   and availability. This exploratory paper describes the development and
   feasibility assessment of a mobile screening application for the
   detection of mental disorders among adolescents in Zambia and South
   Africa. Methods: Eighty-two health care workers (HCW) working in primary
   care evaluated the acceptability and practicality of the mobile
   screening application after receiving brief training. The evaluation
   included questions from the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) as
   well as open-ended questions. Results: The acceptability of the
   screening app was high and study participants were positive about using
   the app in routine care. Problems with internet connectivity, and time
   and staff constraints were perceived as the main barriers to regular
   use. Conclusion: HCW in primary care were able and willing to use a
   mobile screening app for the detection of mental health problems among
   treatment-seeking adolescents. Implementation in clinical practice needs
   to be further evaluated.},

Abstract = {Background: Community reintegration is a major outcome of rehabilitation
   after the acute phase in people with spinal cord injury (PWSCI).
   Objective: To investigated clinical and socio-demographic factors
   determining community participation in PWSCI, living in the greater
   eThekwini Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal province.
   Method: Our quantitative, cross-sectional study had a convenient sample
   of 41 PWSCI. A trained interviewer obtained socio-demographic
   information using a structured questionnaire. Participants completed the
   Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI). Descriptive statistics were
   used in summarising the data; inferential statistics, -a t-test and
   analysis of variance (ANOVA) assessed the association of clinical and
   socio-demographic factors with the extent of community reintegration. A
   multiple linear regression investigated the determinants of community
   reintegration with the alpha level set at p = 0.05.
   Results: Mean age of the participants was 41 years (s.d.: 10, range
   25-66), with the majority (n = 32, 78\%) being male. The mean RNLI score
   was 68\% (s.d.: 22, range 24-100). Participants scored higher on the
   RNLI if they were male (mean difference {[}MD] 18\%, 95\% confidence
   interval {[}CI]: 2-34), were employed (MD 16\%, 95\% CI: 0-32), had a
   salary (MD 19\%, 95\% CI: 5-32) and had no muscle spasms (MD 14\%, 95\%
   CI: 1-27. Muscle spasms (p = 0.012, 95\% CI: 3.85-29.05) and being
   female PWSCI (p = 0.010, 95\% CI: -35.75 to -5.18) were significant
   negative predictors of community reintegration.
   Conclusion: Community reintegration may be influenced by socio-economic
   factors. Special interventions for muscle spasms and support for women
   living with spinal cord injuries may enhance community reintegration.
   Clinical implication: Therapists need to focus on community
   reintegration with female PWSCI and on returning to PWSCI to work as
   this was improved community reintegration.},

Title = {Women Physicians in Transition Learning to Navigate the Pipeline from
   Early to Mid-Career: Protocol for a Qualitative Study},
Journal = {JMIR RESEARCH PROTOCOLS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {11},
Number = {6},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Background: Women physicians face unique obstacles while progressing
   through their careers, navigating career advancement and seeking balance
   between professional and personal responsibilities. Systemic changes,
   along with individual and institutional changes, are needed to overcome
   obstacles perpetuating physician gender inequities. Developing a deeper
   understanding of women physicians' experiences during important
   transition points could reveal both barriers and opportunities for
   recruitment, retention, and promotion, and inform best practices
   developed based on these experiences.
   Objective: The aim is to learn from the experiences and perspectives of
   women physicians as they transition from early to mid-career, then
   develop best practices that can serve to support women physicians as
   they advance through their careers.
   Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with women physicians
   in the United States in 2020 and 2021. Eligibility criteria included
   self-identification as a woman who is in the process of transitioning or
   who recently transitioned from early to mid-career stage. Purposeful
   sampling facilitated identification of participants who represented
   diversity in career pathway, practice setting, specialty, and
   race/ethnicity. Each participant was offered compensation for their
   participation. Interviews were audio-recorded and professionally
   transcribed. Interview questions were open-ended, exploring
   participants' perceptions of this transition. Qualitative thematic
   analysis will be performed. We will use an open coding and grounded
   theory approach on interview transcripts.
   Results: The Ethics Review Committee of the Faculty of Health, Medicine,
   and Life Sciences at Maastricht University approved the study; Stanford
   University expedited review approved the study; and the University of
   California, San Diego certified the study as exempt from review. Twelve
   in-depth interviews of 50-100 minutes in duration were completed.
   Preliminary analyses indicate one key theme is a tension resulting from
   finite time divided between demands from a physician career and demands
   from family needs. In turn, this results in constant boundary control
   between these life domains that are inextricable and seemingly competing
   against each other within a finite space; family needs impinge on
   planned career goals, if the boundary between them is not carefully
   managed. To remedy this, women sought resources to help them
   redistribute home responsibilities, freeing themselves to have more
   time, especially for children. Women similarly sought resources to help
   with career advancement, although not with regard to time directly, but
   to first address foundational knowledge gaps about career milestones and
   how to achieve them.
   Conclusions: Preliminary results provide initial insights about how
   women identify or activate a career shift and how they marshaled
   resources and support to navigate barriers they faced. Further analyses
   are continuing as of March 2022 and are expected to be completed by June
   2022. The dissemination plan includes peer-reviewed open-access journal
   publication of the results and presentation at the annual meeting of the
   American Medical Association's Women Physicians Section.},

Abstract = {PURPOSE: Widespread prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) requires
   significant aggregate lifestyle behavior changes. Extensive resources
   including money, time, access, facilities, materials, and programs are
   needed to bring about such behavior changes on a large scale. Over the
   past several decades, funds for large scale public health efforts and
   related CVD research have become more difficult to acquire, and
   prevention efforts have been shifting to state and community sites.
   Thus, large scale behavior modification for CVD prevention requires
   active efforts to access resources from partnerships with multiple
   private sector organizations.
   METHODS: Religious organizations (ROs) are a potentially valuable
   channel with many advantages for undertaking behavior change programming
   in partnership with public health researchers. ROs have a broad, direct
   `'reach'' with people and provide social support structures, facilities,
   volunteers, communication channels and access to many sub-populations as
   well as a compatible mission and history of interest in health. In spite
   of the many advantages of partnerships between CVD health researchers
   and ROs, very few formal research studies have been conducted. Existing
   reports have emphasized the feasibility and powerful benefits of
   implementing RO-based health programs; however, little data or formal
   hypothesis testing have been reported. Very few formal CVD research
   projects have employed scientifically acceptable research designs with
   random assignment of intact groups to intervention and comparison
   conditions.
   RESULTS: In this review, conducted by the current authors, only six
   projects have been identified that meet these more rigorous scientific
   criteria. In a discussion of these projects, we classify RO-based
   studies into four levels of involvement of the RO: 1) use of ROs as
   sites for recruitment and tracking of experimental subjects; 2) use of
   RO facilities to conduct interventions; 3) involvement of RO members in
   delivering behavior change programs; and 4) the addition of significant
   religious components as an integral part of the intervention. This paper
   discusses the design, results and implications of these studies
   including information on what we already know about conducting research
   with ROs, gaps in existing research and recommendations for future
   studies.
   CONCLUSIONS: There is enormous untapped potential for RO-based CVD
   prevention research, but considerably more work is required to achieve
   the level of research that is currently conducted in other channels such
   as worksites and schools. Health practitioners/researchers and ROs are
   increasingly seizing the opportunity for partnerships to improve health.
   The knowledge gained from these projects and their documented successes
   will hopefully encourage other components of the public health system
   such as hospitals, managed care organizations and departments of health
   to continue developing ways of including ROs in health research and
   behavior change programming. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.},

Title = {That's not how the learning works - the paradox of Reverse Innovation: a
   qualitative study},
Journal = {GLOBALIZATION AND HEALTH},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {12},
Month = {JUL 5},
Abstract = {Background: There are significant differences in the meaning and use of
   the term `Reverse Innovation' between industry circles, where the term
   originated, and health policy circles where the term has gained
   traction. It is often conflated with other popularized terms such as
   Frugal Innovation, Co-development and Trickle-up Innovation. Compared to
   its use in the industrial sector, this conceptualization of Reverse
   Innovation describes a more complex, fragmented process, and one with no
   particular institution in charge. It follows that the way in which the
   term `Reverse Innovation', specifically, is understood and used in the
   healthcare space is worthy of examination.
   Methods: Between September and Decemsber 2014, we conducted eleven
   in-depth face-to-face or telephone interview with key informants from
   innovation, health and social policy circles, experts in international
   comparative policy research and leaders in the Reverse Innovation space
   in the United States. Interviews were open-ended with guiding probes
   into the barriers and enablers to Reverse Innovation in the US context,
   specifically also informants' experience and understanding of the term
   Reverse Innovation. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed
   thematically using the process of constant comparison.
   Results: We describe three main themes derived from the interviews.
   First, `Reverse Innovation,' the term, has marketing currency to
   convince policy-makers that may be wary of learning from or adopting
   innovations from unexpected sources, in this case Low-Income Countries.
   Second, the term can have the opposite effect - by connoting frugality,
   or innovation arising from necessity as opposed to good leadership, the
   proposed innovation may be associated with poor quality, undermining
   potential translation into other contexts. Finally, the term `Reverse
   Innovation' is a paradox - it breaks down preconceptions of the
   directionality of knowledge and learning, whilst simultaneously
   reinforcing it.
   Conclusions: We conclude that this term means different things to
   different people and should be used strategically, and with some
   caution, depending on the audience.},

Title = {Geographical variation of unmet medical needs in Italy: a multivariate
   logistic regression analysis},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH GEOGRAPHICS},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {12},
Month = {MAY 12},
Abstract = {Background: Unmet health needs should be, in theory, a minor issue in
   Italy where a publicly funded and universally accessible health system
   exists. This, however, does not seem to be the case. Moreover, in the
   last two decades responsibilities for health care have been
   progressively decentralized to regional governments, which have
   differently organized health service delivery within their territories.
   Regional decision-making has affected the use of health care services,
   further increasing the existing geographical disparities in the access
   to care across the country. This study aims at comparing self-perceived
   unmet needs across Italian regions and assessing how the reported
   reasons - grouped into the categories of availability, accessibility and
   acceptability - vary geographically.
   Methods: Data from the 2006 Italian component of the European Union
   Statistics on Income and Living Conditions are employed to explore
   reasons and predictors of self-reported unmet medical needs among 45,175
   Italian respondents aged 18 and over. Multivariate logistic regression
   models are used to determine adjusted rates for overall unmet medical
   needs and for each of the three categories of reasons.
   Results: Results show that, overall, 6.9\% of the Italian population
   stated having experienced at least one unmet medical need during the
   last 12 months. The unadjusted rates vary markedly across regions, thus
   resulting in a clear-cut north-south divide (4.6\% in the North-East vs.
   10.6\% in the South). Among those reporting unmet medical needs, the
   leading reason was problems of accessibility related to cost or
   transportation (45.5\%), followed by acceptability (26.4\%) and
   availability due to the presence of too long waiting lists (21.4\%). In
   the South, more than one out of two individuals with an unmet need
   refrained from seeing a physician due to economic reasons. In the
   northern regions, working and family responsibilities contribute
   relatively more to the underutilization of medical services. Logistic
   regression results suggest that some population groups are more
   vulnerable than others to experiencing unmet health needs and to
   reporting some categories of reasons. Adjusting for the predictors
   resulted in very few changes in the rank order of macro-area rates.
   Conclusions: Policies to address unmet health care needs should adopt a
   multidimensional approach and be tailored so as to consider such
   geographical heterogeneities.},

Abstract = {Overall, the ADVANCE Catalyst program at Western Washington University
   provides the resources and time necessary for us to probe deeply into
   our internal practices, measure outcomes for faculty, and, most
   importantly, find and focus on the barriers that impede the advancement
   of women faculty within the College of Sciences and Technology (CST).
   One component of the project was the development of a climate survey,
   which was based upon previous surveys at ADVANCE (research-intensive)
   universities, but was specifically adapted to address faculty issues
   unique to comprehensive universities. The development of our survey
   involved our Faculty Leadership Team (FLT), our department
   chairs/directors, and several other faculty members. This paper focuses
   on the findings from the comprehensive institution climate survey that
   we developed, which consisted of approximately 100 questions in seven
   areas of climate indicators: employment demographics, job satisfaction,
   mentoring, leadership, department climate, professional development, and
   equal opportunity. Specifically, we were probing whether department
   dynamics stay ``status quo{''} longer, if perceptions of peers play a
   heavier role in evaluation, if there are more feelings of isolation, and
   if opportunities for collaborative work are greatly decreased in our
   relatively small sized departments (as compared to research-intensive
   institutions). All faculty members within CST were surveyed. The overall
   response rate was 58\%. Tenured women had the highest response rate, at
   87\%, and 73\% of nontenure track (NTT) women responded. After analyzing
   the data from the survey and meeting with our ADVANCE FLT, we identified
   several key areas of climate indicators that were explored further in
   focus groups: balance of work-life and work-load, leadership and career
   development, and equal opportunity.
   Through our survey, town hall meeting, and focus groups, we found that
   the evolution of our comprehensive institution from a primarily teaching
   university to an institution where a research program is expected has
   placed considerable pressure on our faculty, especially those at
   midcareer. Our heavy teaching responsibilities (inflexible lab
   schedules, research with undergraduates, course innovation,
   mentoring/advising), and service commitments constrain time to such an
   extent that many faculty feel that their research programs suffer or
   become second jobs. CST women serve on more committees, perform much of
   the more time consuming service, and have had fewer leadership roles and
   opportunities. Lack of formal mentoring exacerbates these issues for our
   women. While Western has many policies and programs to address such
   obstacles, faculty are often not aware of them or misunderstand them,
   making them, in fact, inaccessible. Until recently, department chairs
   did not have enough leadership training, development, and support.
   Continuing budget cuts and soaring STEM student demand at our
   institution further intensify these key issues. Based upon the survey,
   focus groups, and conversations with our FLT, we believe that a Faculty
   Advancement Center (FACT) focused on career span initiatives and based
   upon ADVANCE best practices would be the next logical step necessary to
   support women at our institution.},

Title = {Socioeconomic Status and Differences in the Management and Outcomes of
   6.6 Million US Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction},
Journal = {AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {129},
Pages = {10-18},
Month = {AUG 15},
Abstract = {Little is known about the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on
   management strategies and in-hospital clinical outcomes in patients with
   acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its subtypes, and whether these
   trends have changed over time. All AMI hospitalizations from the
   National Inpatient Sample (2004 to 2014) were analyzed and stratified by
   zip code-based median household income (MHI) into 4 quartiles (poorest
   to wealthiest): 0th to 25th, 26th to 50th, 51st to 75 th , and 76th to
   100th. Logistic regression was performed to examine the association
   between MHI and AMI management strategy and in-hospital clinical
   outcomes. A total of 6,603,709 AMI hospitalizations were analyzed.
   Patients in the lowest MHI group had more co-morbidities, a worse
   cardiovascular risk factor profile and were more likely to be female.
   Differences in receipt of invasive management were observed between the
   lowest and highest MID quartiles, with the lowest MHI group less likely
   to undergo coronary angiography (63.4\% vs 64.3\%, p <0.001) and
   percutaneous coronary intervention (40.4\% vs 44.3\%, p <0.001) compared
   with the highest MHI group, especially in the STEMI subgroup. In
   multivariable analysis, the highest MHI group experienced better
   outcomes including lower risk (adjusted odds ratio; 95\% confidence
   intervals) of mortality (0.88; 0.88 to 0.89), MACCE (0.91; 0.91 to 0.92)
   and acute ischemic stroke (0.90; 0.88 to 0.91), but higher all-cause
   bleeding (1.08; 1.06 to 1.09) in comparison to the lowest MHI group. In
   conclusion, the provision of invasive management for AMI in patients
   with lower SES is less than patients with higher SES and is associated
   with worse in-hospital clinical outcomes. This work highlights the
   importance of ensuring equity of access and care across all strata SES.

Title = {Understanding female and male empowerment in Burkina Faso using the

   longitudinal study},
Journal = {BMC WOMENS HEALTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {21},

Abstract = {BackgroundAchieving gender equality and women's empowerment is a major
   global priority. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the
   Building the Resilience of Vulnerable Communities in Burkina Faso (BRB)
   project, an agricultural development program, improved women's
   empowerment, as measured by the project-level Women's Empowerment in
   Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI).MethodsThis study used a longitudinal,
   quasi-experimental study design. Participants included both treatment
   and comparison groups (total N=751) comprising female members of savings
   groups and their husbands or main male household member in Burkina Faso.
   All participants completed the pro-WEAI questionnaire at both baseline
   and endline. The treatment group received a comprehensive intervention
   package consisting of agriculture loans and services, microenterprise
   loans, and education, nutrition education, and women's empowerment
   programs including gender-based discussions designed to facilitate
   personalized changes in gender relations.ResultsThe proportion of the
   treatment group achieving empowerment did not change from baseline for
   women, but improved substantially for men. Women from the comparison
   group saw an increase in empowerment at endline while men saw a
   substantial decrease. Gender parity was high for women in both groups at
   baseline and increased slightly at endline. Women were more likely to
   have adequate empowerment in input in productive decisions, group
   membership, and membership in influential groups than men while men were
   more likely to have adequate empowerment in attitudes about domestic
   violence, control over use of income, and work balance than women.
   Participants from the treatment group reported an increase in the
   average number of empowerment indicators that they were adequate in
   while the comparison group saw a decrease in average adequacy over time
   (p=0.002) after controlling for age, sex, and level of
   education.ConclusionDespite starting at an empowerment disadvantage, the
   treatment group experienced gains in individual indicators of
   empowerment while the comparison group men and women experienced mixed
   results, with the women gaining, and the men losing empowerment. This
   research suggests that the BRB intervention may have provided some
   protection for the treatment group when they faced an economic down-turn
   prior to the endline, indicative of household resilience. Future
   research should consider and strengthen relationships between resilience
   and empowerment.},

Title = {Contemporary perspectives in COPD: Patient burden, the role of gender
   and trajectories of multimorbidity},
Journal = {RESPIROLOGY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {26},
Number = {5},
Pages = {419-441},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {An individual's experience of COPD is determined by many factors in
   addition to the pathological features of chronic bronchitis and
   emphysema and the symptoms that derive directly from them.
   Multimorbidity is the norm rather than the exception, so most people
   with COPD are living with a range of other medical problems which can
   decrease overall quality of life. COPD is caused by the inhalation of
   noxious particles or gases, in particular tobacco smoke, but also by
   early life disadvantage impairing lung development and by occupations
   where inhaled exposures are common (e.g. industrial, farming and
   cleaning work). Wealthy people are therefore relatively protected from
   developing COPD and people who do develop the condition may have reduced
   resources to cope.
   COPD is also no longer a condition that predominantly affects men. The
   prevalence of COPD among women has equalled that of men since 2008 in
   many high-income countries, due to increased exposure to tobacco, and in
   low-income countries due to biomass fuels. COPD is one of the leading
   causes of death in women in the USA, and death rates attributed to COPD
   in women in some countries are predicted to overtake those of men in the
   next decade. Many factors contribute to this phenomenon, but in addition
   to socioeconomic and occupational factors, there is increasing evidence
   of a higher susceptibility of females to smoking and pollutants. Quality
   of life is also more significantly impaired in women. Although most
   medications (bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids) used to treat
   COPD demonstrate similar trends for exacerbation prevention and lung
   function improvement in men and women, this is an understudied area and
   clinical trials frequently have a preponderance of males. A better
   understanding of gender-based predictors of efficacy of all therapeutic
   interventions is crucial for comprehensive patient care. There is an
   urgent need to recognize the increasing burden of COPD in women and to
   facilitate global improvements in disease prevention and management in
   this specific population.
   Many individuals with COPD follow a trajectory of both lung function
   decline and also multimorbidity. Unfavourable lung function trajectories
   throughout life have implications for later development of other chronic
   diseases. An enhanced understanding of the temporal associations
   underlying the development of coexisting diseases is a crucial first
   step in unravelling potential common disease pathways. Lessons can be
   learned from exploring disease trajectories of other NCD as well as
   multimorbidity development. Further research will be essential to
   explain how early life risk factors commonly influence trajectories of
   COPD and other diseases, how different diseases develop in relation to
   each other in a temporal way and how this ultimately leads to different
   multimorbidity patterns in COPD.
   This review integrates new knowledge and ideas pertaining to three broad
   themes (i) the overall burden of disease in COPD, (ii) an unappreciated
   high burden in women and (iii) the contrast of COPD trajectories and
   different multimorbidity patterns with trajectories of other NCD. The
   underlying pathology of COPD is largely irreversible, but many factors
   noted in the review are potentially amenable to intervention. Health and
   social care systems need to ensure that effective treatment is
   accessible to all people with the condition. Preventive strategies and
   treatments that alter the course of disease are crucial, particularly
   for patients with COPD as one of many problems.},

Title = {An exploratory review of the relationship between enterprise training
   and technology upgrading: evidence from South African manufacturing
   firms},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {20},
Number = {9},

Abstract = {The study examines the extent to which disaggregated training variables
   are related to technological upgrading, in the context of a
   middle-income developing country trying to manage its integration into
   the global economy. For a developing country, successful integration
   into the global economy requires that local manufacturing firms are able
   to competitively restructure, as a precondition for survival and
   long-term growth. Consequently, skills and technological upgrading are
   crucial in raising the international competitive advantage of local
   firms. Enterprise-provided training is one means that can be used by
   local firms to continuously upgrade their knowledge bases, increase
   their international competitiveness, and enhance employment growth over
   time. This paper uses South Africa as a case study, to demonstrate how
   economic reform measures can expose skills deficiencies in the
   manufacturing sector and lead to an increase in capital intensity of the
   sector. Exposure of skills deficiencies, in turn, raises the importance
   of skill-upgrading through schooling and training of existing workforce.
   Despite a couple of studies on the evolution of the labour market in
   South Africa, no previous research has explicitly examined the
   relationship between technological upgrading and disaggregated
   training/learning variables at the firm level. This paper aims to fill
   that gap by focusing on disaggregated enterprise-based training efforts.
   The study uses the Human Capital theoretical framework to answer the
   main research question: Which disaggregated learning variables (i.e.,
   on-the-job or off-the-job training offered to different occupational
   groups) are significantly associated with technological upgrading? The
   study raises possible issues of heterogeneity in returns to training
   offered to different occupational groups in the context of
   technological-upgrading. On the other hand, technological upgrading may
   not necessarily always disadvantage all unskilled workers. Possible
   policy implications of research findings are outlined.},

Abstract = {Questions related to economics figured prominently in the priority
   information needs identified in the 1997 Tongass Land Management Plan.
   Follow-on studies in economics were designed to improve understanding of
   aspects of the competitiveness of the Alaska forest sector, links
   between Alaska timber markets and other markets as evident in prices,
   and the relationship between resource allocation decisions and economic
   conditions in communities and the region. Analysis of the role of
   recreation and tourism in the regional economy was added to the topics
   addressed, based on early results of work to describe economic dynamics.
   Comparisons are undertaken to evaluate the economic changes taking place
   in southeast Alaska, to analyze the sources of these changes, and to
   determine if and why they differ from the changes taking place at larger
   scales and those occurring in a similar rural and resource-abundant
   region. Divergent views regarding the current role of the Tongass in the
   regional economy are summarized and assessed by using contemporary
   evidence. A variety of factors contribute to comparative and competitive
   disadvantages for the forest products sector in southeast Alaska. Alaska
   product and log markets are effectively integrated with other markets
   supplied by producers in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest.
   Empirical evidence suggests the need to re-examine assumptions regarding
   the relation between changes in ``basic{''} sector activities and
   employment (such as timber harvesting and wood products manufacturing)
   and ``nonbasic{''} (or support sector) employment in the rural
   communities of southeast Alaska. Many of the changes occurring in the
   economy of rural southeast Alaska are driven by changes in the
   international markets in which Alaskan products compete, and are largely
   independent of Tongass forest management.
   Unearned income and tourism have replaced resource-extractive industries
   as the principal sources of income growth in the region. The
   contribution of the Tongass National Forest to the regional economy has
   become more complex and difficult to quantify. Forest management
   policies that enhance the comparative advantages the region enjoys in
   providing both tourism opportunities and quality of life attributes will
   aid communities in maintaining and expanding their economic
   opportunities. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Title = {A systematic literature review on traditional to artificial intelligence

   future perspectives},
Journal = {APPLIED SOFT COMPUTING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {129},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Background : Socio-behavioral disorders(SBD), a subtype of
   neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) characterized by social and
   behavioral abnormalities, is a significant mental health concern
   requiring immediate attention. Phenotypic knowledge, biological
   understanding and the tools developed are all from western countries.
   Numerous researches have been conducted that have scrutinized the
   performance accuracy of traditional-based SBD tools developed in western
   culture. However, very little information is available for low or
   middle-income countries. Objective: In middle-income countries like
   India, there is a shortage of resources, trained professionals and a
   lack of knowledge regarding which tools are effective for a particular
   target group owing to which most of the cases go undetected and
   undiagnosed until adolescence. Motivated by the earlier discussion, this
   study's objective is to consider all the pathways from traditional to
   Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools developed for diagnosing SBD in the
   Indian population. This research work expounds on the systematic study
   and analysis of various conventional and fuzzy-based expert systems
   introduced between 1925-2021. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were used to
   select the articles published on the web of science, SCOPUS, and EMBASE
   to identify relevant Indian studies. A total of 148 papers are
   considered impactful for SBD prediction using traditional or fuzzy-based
   techniques. This survey deliberated the work done by the different
   researchers, highlighting the limitations in the existing literature and
   the performance comparison of tools based on various parameters such as
   accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, target audience, along with their
   pros and cons. Some investigations have been designed, and the solutions
   to those were explored. Results : Results of this study indicated that
   most validated SBD tools present many barriers to use in the Indian
   population. Thus, to overcome these implications, an Artificial
   Intelligence(AI) framework, MRIMMTL, based on MRI multimodality transfer
   learning techniques(TL), is proposed to be implemented for the early
   detection of SBD subjects. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Title = {Experiences of Latinx Individuals Hospitalized for COVID-19 A
   Qualitative Study},
Journal = {JAMA NETWORK OPEN},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {4},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAR 11},
Abstract = {IMPORTANCE Latinx individuals, particularly immigrants, are at higher
   risk than non-Latinx White individuals of contracting and dying from
   coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Little is known about Latinx
   experiences with COVID-19 infection and treatment.
   OBJECTIVE To describe the experiences of Latinx individuals who were
   hospitalized with and survived COVID-19.
   DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The qualitative study used
   semistructured phone interviews of 60 Latinx adults who survived a
   COVID-19 hospitalization in public hospitals in San Francisco,
   California, and Denver, Colorado, from March 2020 to July 2020.
   Transcripts were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. Data
   analysis was conducted from May 2020 to September 2020.
   MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Themes and subthemes that reflected patient
   experiences.
   RESULTS Sixty people (24 women and 36 men; mean {[}SD] age, 48 {[}12]
   years) participated. All lived in low-income areas, 47 participants
   (78\%) had more than 4 people in the home, and most (44 participants
   {[}73\%]) were essential workers. Four participants (9\%) could work
   from home, 12 (20\%) had paid sick leave, and 21 (35\%) lost their job
   because of COVID-19. We identified 5 themes (and subthemes) with public
   health and clinical care implications: COVID-19 was a distant and
   secondary threat (invincibility, misinformation and disbelief, ingrained
   social norms); COVID-19 was a compounder of disadvantage (fear of
   unemployment and eviction, lack of safeguards for undocumented
   immigrants, inability to protect self from COVID-19, and high-density
   housing); reluctance to seek medical care (worry about health care
   costs, concerned about ability to access care if uninsured or
   undocumented, undocumented immigrants fear deportation); health care
   system interactions (social isolation and change in hospital procedures,
   appreciation for clinicians and language access, and discharge with
   insufficient resources or clinical information); and faith and community
   resiliency (spirituality, Latinx COVID-19 advocates).
   CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In interviews, Latinx patients with COVID-19
   who survived hospitalization described initial disease misinformation
   and economic and immigration fears as having driven exposure and delays
   in presentation. To confront COVID-19 as a compounder of social
   disadvantage, public health authorities should mitigate COVID-19-related
   misinformation, immigration fears, and challenges to health care access,
   as well as create policies that provide work protection and address
   economic disadvantages.},

Abstract = {Why use SJTs? Traditionally, selection into medical education
   professions has focused primarily upon academic ability alone. This
   approach has been questioned more recently, as although academic
   attainment predicts performance early in training, research shows it has
   less predictive power for demonstrating competence in postgraduate
   clinical practice. Such evidence, coupled with an increasing focus on
   individuals working in healthcare roles displaying the core values of
   compassionate care, benevolence and respect, illustrates that
   individuals should be selected on attributes other than academic ability
   alone. Moreover, there are mounting calls to widen access to medicine,
   to ensure that selection methods do not unfairly disadvantage
   individuals from specific groups (e.g. regarding ethnicity or
   socio-economic status), so that the future workforce adequately
   represents society as a whole. These drivers necessitate a method of
   assessment that allows individuals to be selected on important
   non-academic attributes that are desirable in healthcare professionals,
   in a fair, reliable and valid way.What are SJTs? Situational judgement
   tests (SJTs) are tests used to assess individuals' reactions to a number
   of hypothetical role-relevant scenarios, which reflect situations
   candidates are likely to encounter in the target role. These scenarios
   are based on a detailed analysis of the role and should be developed in
   collaboration with subject matter experts, in order to accurately assess
   the key attributes that are associated with competent performance. From
   a theoretical perspective, SJTs are believed to measure prosocial
   Implicit Trait Policies (ITPs), which are shaped by socialisation
   processes that teach the utility of expressing certain traits in
   different settings such as agreeable expressions (e.g. helping others in
   need), or disagreeable actions (e.g. advancing ones own interest at
   others, expense).Are SJTs reliable, valid and fair? Several studies,
   including good quality meta-analytic and longitudinal research,
   consistently show that SJTs used in many different occupational groups
   are reliable and valid. Although there is over 40 years of research
   evidence available on SJTs, it is only within the past 10 years that
   SJTs have been used for recruitment into medicine. Specifically,
   evidence consistently shows that SJTs used in medical selection have
   good reliability, and predict performance across a range of medical
   professions, including performance in general practice, in early years
   (foundation training as a junior doctor) and for medical school
   admissions. In addition, SJTs have been found to have significant added
   value (incremental validity) over and above other selection methods such
   as knowledge tests, measures of cognitive ability, personality tests and
   application forms. Regarding differential attainment, generally SJTs
   have been found to have lower adverse impact compared to other selection
   methods, such as cognitive ability tests. SJTs have the benefit of being
   appropriate both for use in selection where candidates are novices (i.e.
   have no prior role experience or knowledge such as in medical school
   admissions) as well as settings where candidates have substantial job
   knowledge and specific experience (as in postgraduate recruitment for
   more senior roles). An SJT specification (e.g. scenario content,
   response instructions and format) may differ depending on the level of
   job knowledge required.
   Research consistently shows that SJTs are usually found to be positively
   received by candidates compared to other selection tests such as
   cognitive ability and personality tests. Practically, SJTs are difficult
   to design effectively, and significant expertise is required to build a
   reliable and valid SJT. Once designed however, SJTs are cost efficient
   to administer to large numbers of candidates compared to other tests of
   non-academic attributes (e.g. personal statements, structured
   interviews), as they are standardised and can be computer-delivered and
   machine-marked.},

Title = {Implementing the Emergency Triage, Assessment and Treatment plus
   admission care (ETAT plus ) clinical practice guidelines to improve
   quality of hospital care in Rwandan district hospitals: healthcare
   workers' perspectives on relevance and challenges},
Journal = {BMC HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {17},
Month = {APR 7},
Abstract = {Background: An emergency triage, assessment and treatment plus admission
   care (ETAT+) intervention was implemented in Rwandan district hospitals
   to improve hospital care for severely ill infants and children. Many
   interventions are rarely implemented with perfect fidelity under
   real-world conditions. Thus, evaluations of the real-world experiences
   of implementing ETAT+ are important in terms of identifying potential
   barriers to successful implementation. This study explored the
   perspectives of Rwandan healthcare workers (HCWs) on the relevance of
   ETAT+ and documented potential barriers to its successful
   implementation.
   Methods: HCWs enrolled in the ETAT+ training were asked, immediately
   after the training, their perspective regarding (i) relevance of the
   ETAT+ training to Rwandan district hospitals; (ii) if attending the
   training would bring about change in their work; and (iii) challenges
   that they encountered during the training, as well as those they
   anticipated to hamper their ability to translate the knowledge and
   skills learned in the ETAT+ training into practice in order to improve
   care for severely ill infants and children in their hospitals. They
   wrote their perspectives in French, Kinyarwanda, or English and
   sometimes a mixture of all these languages that are official in the
   post-genocide Rwanda. Their notes were translated to (if not already in)
   English and transcribed, and transcripts were analyzed using thematic
   content analysis.
   Results: One hundred seventy-one HCWs were included in our analysis.
   Nearly all these HCWs stated that the training was highly relevant to
   the district hospitals and that it aligned with their work expectation.
   However, some midwives believed that the ``neonatal resuscitation and
   feeding{''} components of the training were more relevant to them than
   other components. Many HCWs anticipated to change practice by initiating
   a triage system in their hospital and by using job aids including
   guidelines for prescription and feeding. Most of the challenges stemmed
   from the mode of the ETAT+ training delivery (e.g., language barriers,
   intense training schedule); while others were more related to uptake of
   guidelines in the district hospitals (e.g., staff turnover, reluctance
   to change, limited resources, conflicting protocols).
   Conclusion: This study highlights potential challenges to successful
   implementation of the ETAT+ clinical practice guidelines in order to
   improve quality of hospital care in Rwandan district hospitals.
   Understanding these challenges, especially from HCWs perspective, can
   guide efforts to improve uptake of clinical practice guidelines
   including ETAT+ in Rwanda.},

Abstract = {Numerous renewable energy electrification programs that have been
   implemented in developing countries over the past decade have met with
   relatively limited success. Much of the effort that has been invested in
   attempting to understand the causes of lack of success has focused on
   the identification of barriers. This narrow focus on only barriers,
   however, fails to consider other important factors that may contribute
   to the success or lack of success of programs. An email survey was used
   to obtain the views of those with responsibility for the implementation
   of solar PV home system programs in Asia and the Pacific region on their
   programs. The purpose of the survey was to better understand the factors
   that implementing agencies consider to be important in the designing and
   implementation of SHS programs. The survey results indicated that
   program objectives tend to be couched in very broad and administrative
   terms rather than in terms of the outcomes for system users, weakening
   the ability to make meaningful assessments of program success. Although
   best practice program guidelines were infrequently used, even where
   program implementers were aware of their existence, even more
   fundamental problems were found to beset some programs. Adequate funding
   support and the use of appropriate financing mechanisms were considered
   to be the most critical factors for program success and a variety of
   financing mechanisms were used, including micro-credit and a novel
   mechanism which indicated a maturation of program design. System
   maintenance and monitoring were considered important by most program
   implementers, although training was reported to be provided to both
   technicians and system users in a minority of cases and some program
   implementers expressed concerns over the timeliness of program
   monitoring and maintenance where this had been outsourced. Unit system
   cost varied from US\$7.20/Wp to US\$14.58/Wp between programs and was
   determined by factors such as remoteness, number of system program users
   and reliance on imported equipment. The program outcomes commonly
   regarded to be achieved were increased gender equity, increased social
   activities, increased access to information and increased working hours.
   The majority of program implementers, however, did not regard their
   programs as having resulted in increased employment or household income.
   Factors seen as instrumental in limiting program success were lack of
   adequate government policy and funding support, lack of involvement of
   local communities in program design, and a lack of in-house technical
   know-how, and a lack of availability of components in locations
   proximate to users. The main conclusions from results of the survey are
   that the reasons behind program success or lack of success are complex,
   but that program success could be improved in many instances by
   following best practice guidelines, specifying program objectives in
   terms of outcomes for users, ensuring that adequate funding and policy
   support is available and that program implementers have adequate
   training in program management. The results were used to develop a
   comprehensive set of criteria that could be applied in the development
   of future programs. (C) 2009 International Energy Initiative. Published

Title = {Mental health review board under the Mental Health Care Act (2017),
   India: A critique and learning from review boards of other nations},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LAW AND PSYCHIATRY},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {81},
Month = {MAR-APR},
Abstract = {The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 (MHCA) of India is a landmark and
   welcome step towards centering persons with mental illness (PwMI) and
   recognizing their rights concerning their treatment and care decisions
   and ensuring the availability of mental healthcare services. As
   mentioned in its preamble, the Act is a step towards aligning India's
   laws or mental health (MH) policy with the United Nations Convention on
   the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which India ratified
   in 2007. Amidst several positives, the implementation of the Act has
   been marred by certain practical issues which are partly attributed to
   the inherent conceptual limitations.Countries across the globe, both
   High Income-and Low-and Middle-Income Countries, have enacted
   legislation to ensure that the rights of treatment and care of PwMI are
   respected, protected, and fulfilled. They have also provisioned
   quasi-judicial bodies (Mental Health Review Boards MHRBs/tribunals) for
   ensuring these rights. However, their structure and function vary.This
   paper compares the constitution and functioning of review boards across
   different countries and intends to provide future directions for the
   effective implementation and functioning of the MHRB under India's
   MHCA.This review found that effective implementation of the MHRB under
   MHCA is compromised by an ambitious, six-membered, constitution of the
   MHRB, lack of clarity about the realistic combination of the quorum to
   adjudicate decisions, inadequate human and financial resources, and an
   overstretched area of functioning.Although MHRB has been envisaged as a
   quasi-judicial authority to ensure the rights of PwMI, it needs to be
   made more pragmatic. The size and composition of the MHRB currently
   envisaged is likely to be a barrier in the establishment of the MHRB as
   well as its functioning. A smaller composition (3-5 membered) involving
   one psychiatrist, one judicial/legal member, and at least one PwMI or
   member from civil society having lived experience of working with PwMI
   or caregiver, could be a more pragmatic approach. The passing of this
   law also necessitates increasing the overall health budget, especially
   the mental health budget with funds earmarked specifically for the
   implementation of the law, which necessarily includes setting up the
   MHRB. An evaluation of the implementation of the MHRB, including its
   determinants, would be a useful step in this direction.},

Title = {The effects of chronic medical conditions on work loss and work cutback},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE},
Year = {2001},
Volume = {43},
Number = {3},
Pages = {218-225},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Although work performance has become an important outcome in
   cost-of-illness studies, little is known about the comparative effects
   of different commonly occurring chronic conditions on work impairment in
   general population samples. Such data are presented here from a
   large-scale nationally representative general population survey. The
   data are from the MacArthur Foundation Midlife Development in the United
   States (MIDUS) survey, a nationally representative telephone-mail survey
   of 3032 respondents in the age range of 25 to 74 years. The 2074 survey
   respondents in the age range of 25 to 54 years are the focus of the
   current report. The data collection included a chronic-conditions
   checklist and questions about how many days out of the past 30 each
   respondent was either totally unable to work or perform normal
   activities because of health problems (work-loss days) ol had to cut
   back on these activities because of health problems (work-cutback days).
   Regression analysis was used to estimate the effects of conditions on
   work impairments, controlling for sociodemographics. At least one
   illness-related work-loss or work-cutback day in the past 30 days was
   reported by 22.4\% of respondents, with a monthly average of 6.7 such
   days among those with any work impairment. This is equivalent to an
   annualized national estimate of over 2.5 billion work-impairment days in
   the age range of the sample. Cancer is associated with by far the
   highest reported prevalence of any impairment (66.2\%) and the highest
   conditional number of impairment days in the past 30 (16.4 days). Other
   conditions associated with high odds of any impairment include ulcers,
   major depression, and panic disorder, whereas other conditions
   associated with a large conditional number of impairment days include
   heart disease and high blood pressure. Comorbidities involving
   combinations of arthritis, ulcers, mental disorders, and substance
   dependence are associated with higher impairments than expected on the
   basis of an additive model. The effects of conditions do not differ
   systematically across subsamples defined on the basis of age, sex,
   education, or employment status. The enormous magnitude of the work
   impairment associated with chronic conditions and the economic
   advantages of interventions for ill workers that reduce work impairments
   should be factored into employer cost-benefit calculations of expanding
   health insurance coverage. Given the enormous work impairment associated
   with cancer and the fact that the vast majority of employed people who
   are diagnosed with cancer stay in the workforce through at least part of
   their course of treatment, interventions aimed at reducing the workplace
   costs of this illness should be a priority.},

Title = {Human papillomavirus vaccine series completion: Qualitative information

Journal = {VACCINE},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {34},
Number = {30},
Pages = {3515-3521},
Month = {JUN 24},
Abstract = {Objective: This qualitative study aimed to identify doctors' and nurses'
   perceptions of patient-, provider-, and system-level factors associated
   with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine completion that may be targets
   for intervention.
   Methods: We analyzed data from 61 qualitative interviews with
   pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and immunization nurses at
   medical centers that had the highest and lowest HPV vaccine completion
   rates within the same health care system.
   Results: In both groups, almost all providers reported strong support
   for the HPV vaccine. In detailing how they talk to parents and patients
   about the vaccine, more of the providers working at higher completion
   centers described using effective communication techniques, including
   engaging parents and patients in two-way conversation and demonstrating
   awareness of cultural and practical barriers to completion that families
   may face. Providers at higher completion centers were also more likely
   to depict a local medical culture supportive of and committed to HPV
   vaccine completion, with greater levels of proactivity and teamwork. In
   contrast, providers working at lower completion medical centers
   described a lack of proactivity, and the strategies they suggested to
   improve HPV vaccine completion tended to be approaches that someone
   other than medical providers would implement. The comments made by these
   providers sometimes reflected a level of negativity and judgment absent
   from the comments of providers at higher completion centers.
   Conclusion: Interventions to improve HPV vaccination completion rates
   should address both individual and system-level factors. Improving
   communication skills, encouraging a supportive medical culture, and
   addressing resource issues is likely to improve vaccine adherence. (C)

Title = {Strategies for supporting the implementation of a task-shared
   psychological intervention in South Africa's chronic disease services:
   qualitative insights from health managers' experiences of project MIND},
Journal = {GLOBAL HEALTH ACTION},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {15},
Number = {1},
Month = {DEC 31},
Abstract = {Background Although evidence indicates that task-shared psychological
   interventions can reduce mental health treatment gaps in
   resource-constrained settings, systemic barriers have limited their
   widespread implementation. Evidence on how to sustain and scale such
   approaches is scant. This study responds to this gap by examining the
   experiences of South African health managers involved in the
   implementation of a task-shared counselling service for Project MIND.
   Objectives To qualitatively describe managers' experiences of
   implementing the MIND programme and their insights into potential
   strategies for supporting sustained implementation. Methods Two focus
   group discussions (FGDs) and eight in-depth interviews (IDIs) were
   conducted with managers of urban and rural primary care facilities in
   the Western Cape province. All managers were female and 30-50 years old.
   FGDs and IDIs used an identical semi-structured topic guide to explore
   the experiences of the MIND programme and perceived barriers to
   sustained implementation. Normalisation process theory (NPT) guided the
   thematic analysis. Results Four themes emerged that mapped onto the NPT
   constructs. First, managers noted that their relational work with staff
   to promote support for the intervention and reduce resistance was key to
   facilitating implementation. Second, managers emphasised the need for
   staff reorientation and upskilling to foster openness to mental health
   practice and for adequate time for quality counselling. Third, managers
   underscored the importance of strengthening linkages between the health
   and social service sectors to facilitate delivery of comprehensive
   mental health services. Finally, managers recommended ongoing monitoring
   of the service and communication about its impacts as strategies for
   supporting integration into routine practice. Conclusions Findings
   contribute to the emerging literature on strategies to support
   implementation of task-shared interventions in low- and middle-income
   countries. The findings highlight the leadership role of managers in
   identifying and actioning these strategies. Investing in managers'
   capacity to support implementation of psychological interventions is
   critical for scale-up of these mental health innovations.},

Abstract = {Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition characterised by
   significant social and occupational impairment and high rates of
   suicide. In high income countries, mental health professionals carry
   negative attitudes towards patients with BPD, find it difficult to work
   with patients with BPD, and even avoid seeing these patients. Negative
   attitudes and stigma can cause patients to fear mistreatment by health
   care providers and create additional barriers to care. Patients'
   self-stigma and illness understanding BPD also affects treatment
   engagement and outcomes; better knowledge about mental illness predicts
   intentions to seek care. The perspectives of mental health clinicians
   and patients on BPD have not been researched in the Pakistani setting
   and likely differ from other settings due to economic, cultural, and
   health care system differences. Our study aims to understand the
   attitudes of mental health clinicians towards patients with BPD in
   Pakistan using a self-report survey. We also aim to explore explanatory
   models of illness in individuals with BPD and their family
   members/carers using a Short Explanatory Model Interview (SEMI). The
   results of this study are important as we know attitudes and illness
   understanding greatly impact care. Results of this study will help guide
   BPD-specific training for mental health clinicians who care for patients
   with BPD and help inform approaches to interventions for patients with
   BPD in Pakistan.},

   not only on a country's income, but also on how resources are allocated,
   and both vary substantially, between and within countries. Safety is
   particularly important in anesthesia because anesthesia is intrinsically
   hazardous and not intrinsically therapeutic. Nevertheless, other
   elements of the quality of health care, notably access, must also be
   considered. More generally, there are certain prerequisites within
   society for health, captured in the Jakarta declaration. It is necessary
   to have adequate infrastructure (notably for transport and primary
   health care) and hospitals capable of safely carrying out the Bellwether
   Procedures (cesarean delivery, laparotomy, and the treatment of compound
   fractures). Surgery, supported by safe anesthesia, is critical to the
   health of populations, but avoidable harm from health care (including
   very high mortality rates from anesthesia in many parts of the world) is
   a major global problem. Thus, surgical and anesthesia services must not
   only be provided, they must be safe. The global anesthesia workforce
   crisis is a major barrier to achieving this. Many anesthetics today are
   administered by nonphysicians with limited training and little access to
   supervision or support, often working in very challenging circumstances.
   Many organizations, notably the World Health Organization and the World
   Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists, are working to improve
   access to and safety of anesthesia and surgery around the world.
   Challenges include collaboration with local stakeholders, coordination
   of effort between agencies, and the need to influence national health
   policy makers to achieve sustainable improvement. It is conceivable that
   safe anesthesia and perioperative care could be provided for essential
   surgical services today by clinicians with moderate levels of training
   using relatively simple (but appropriately designed and maintained)
   equipment and a limited number of inexpensive generic medications.
   However, there is a minimum standard for these resources, below which
   reasonable safety cannot be assured. This minimum (at least) should be
   available to all. Not only more resources, but also more equitable
   distribution of existing resources is required. Thus, the starting point
   for global access to safe anesthesia is acceptance that access to health
   care in general should be a basic human right everywhere.},

Abstract = {Introduction: Patient participation in healthcare system-sponsored
   efforts to address food insecurity varies widely. This mixed-methods
   study sought to understand the patient sociodemographic factors
   associated with and barriers and facilitators to the use of a monthly
   produce market held at Cambridge Health Alliance in partnership with The
   Greater Boston Food Bank.
   Methods: Baseline surveys (N=715) were conducted from February 2019 to
   March 2020 before market attendance, followed by 1-year follow-up
   surveys (n=514) and qualitative interviews (n=45). Robust Poisson
   regression estimated associations between sociodemographic
   characteristics and market attendance. Analyses were conducted from 2021
   to 2022.
   Results: A total of 37.1\% attended the market >= 1 time. Market
   attendance was associated with being aged 30-49 years (Risk Ratio
   (RR)=1.36, 95\% CI=1.00, 1.86), having a monthly household income
   <\$1,000 (RR=1.73, 95\% CI=1.29, 2.32), identifying as Asian (RR=2.48,
   95\% CI=1.58, 3.89), having a preferred language for medical care other
   than English (RR=1.35, 95\% CI=1.03, 1.76), being retired (RR=1.90, 95\%
   CI=1.17, 3.08), and living in the city of the market's location
   (RR=1.36, 95\% CI=1.12, 1.63). Barriers included limited time (28\%),
   work conflict (23\%), forgetfulness (23\%), and not knowing market
   location/date (22\%). Interviews revealed that accessibility barriers
   (e.g., limited market hours, transportation issues, competing demands,
   medical conditions, long lines) were obstacles to attendance, whereas
   access to novel, healthy foods motivated attendance.
   Conclusions: Healthcare-based food distributions have the potential to
   reach patients with unmet food needs who cannot or would not access
   other forms of food assistance. Time constraints, physical limitations,
   and transportation challenges impact attendance; program modifications
   are necessary to improve accessibility. (C) 2022 Published by Elsevier

Title = {Multi-criteria decision analysis approach for strategy scale-up with
   application to Chagas disease management in Bolivia},
Journal = {PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {15},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Objective
   Design and build a strategy construction and evaluation software system
   to help stakeholders to develop viable strategies to expand (and adapt)
   the Chagas Platform healthcare model through the primary healthcare
   system in Bolivia.
   Methods
   The software was built based on a ranking of medical Interventions and
   Actions (needed to support Interventions' implementation) needed for
   comprehensive management of Chagas Disease in Bolivia. The ranking was
   performed using a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methodology
   adapted to the WHO's building blocks framework. Data regarding the
   criteria and the rankings was obtained through surveys and interviews
   with health care professionals working on Chagas disease. The Analytical
   Hierarchy Process was used to construct the decision criteria weights.
   Data Envelopment Analysis was used to identify the Interventions that
   lay on the efficiency frontier of outcomes and the complexity of
   associated Actions. These techniques were combined with integer
   programing tools using the open-source software R to build a
   decision-making tool to assess the outcomes and complexity of any
   combination of Interventions and Actions. This model and tool were
   applied to data concerning the care of Chagas disease in Bolivia
   collected through surveys of experts. The tool works by loading the data
   from each specific context.
   Results
   The initial set of Interventions and Actions recommended after analysis
   of the survey data was further refined through face-to-face interviews
   with field experts in Bolivia, resulting in a strategy of 18
   Interventions and 15 Actions. Within the WHO model the Leadership and
   Governance building block came up as the one needing more support with
   Actions such as the inclusion of Chagas into Annual Municipal
   Operational Plans by appointing local and provincial coordinators.
   Conclusion
   This project established the suitability of the model for constructing
   healthcare strategies. The model could be developed further resulting in
   a decision-making tool for program managers in a wide range of
   healthcare related issues, including neglected and/ or prevalent
   diseases. The tool has the potential to be used at different stages of
   decision making by diverse stakeholders in order to coordinate
   activities needed to address a health problem.
   Author summary
   This manuscript presents a strategy construction tool to generate viable
   strategies to expand the Chagas platforms for healthcare pilot through
   the primary healthcare system in Bolivia. Relevance of this work resides
   in the need for performing a rational planification to address Neglected
   Diseases in low- and middle-income countries, by prioritizing
   Interventions and Actions. After gathering and loading the data from
   each specific context and problem, policy makers can use the tool for
   construction or evaluation of strategies using the WHO Building Block
   model. The main comparative advantage is that the model does not only
   include the identification and evaluation of Interventions for the
   comprehensive care of Chagas, but also includes the necessary activities
   in the health system to support the large-scale implementation of them.
   The tool has the potential to be used at different stages of decision
   making to coordinate activities to address a health problem. The tool
   could be adapted for its use in other neglected and/ or prevalent
   diseases or in other locations.},

Title = {Patient and Clinician Communication of Self-reported Insomnia During
   Ambulatory Cancer Care Clinic Visits},

Volume = {37},

Abstract = {Background:
   Insomnia, the most commonly reported sleep-wake disturbance in people
   with cancer, has an adverse effect on quality of life including
   emotional well-being, distress associated with other symptoms, daily
   functioning, relationships, and ability to work.
   Objective:
   The aim of this study was to describe the content of discussions between
   clinicians and 120 patients with self-reported insomnia and to examine
   the associations of sociodemographic, clinical, and environmental
   factors with insomnia.
   Methods:
   A secondary analysis was conducted with self-reported symptom data and
   sociodemographic, clinical, and environmental factors. Recordings of
   clinician and patient discussions during clinic visits were examined by
   conducting a content analysis.
   Results:
   Severe insomnia was more likely to be reported by women, minority, and
   lower-income individuals. Seven major topics were identified in the
   discussions. The clinicians did not always discuss insomnia; discussion
   rates differed by diagnosis and clinical service.
   Conclusions:
   Reporting of insomnia by the patient and clinician communication about
   insomnia may have differed by demographic and clinical characteristics.
   Clinicians attended to insomnia about half the time with management
   strategies likely to be effective. Explanations may be that insomnia had
   a low clinician priority for the clinic visit or lack of clear evidence
   to support insomnia interventions.
   Implications for Practice:
   A better understanding is needed about why insomnia is not addressed
   even when reported by patients; it is well known that structured
   assessments and early interventions can improve quality of life.
   Research is warranted to better understand potential disparities in
   cancer care.},

Abstract = {The coast and the pre-littoral zone of Bajo Segura region (Alicante) is
   a geographical area suffering from a natural scarcity of water
   resources. However, since 1960 until today, water consumption has
   increased due to a profound economic, demographic and landscape
   transformation. Statistical confirmation of this change is verified by
   the value reached by the use-indicators: participation in the gross
   domestic product, employment generated, disposable household income,
   population growth and concentration. The new economic trend has
   increased the allocation of water resources to ensure the enhancement of
   the territory. The water infrastructure of Tajo-Segura is that which
   ensures urban supply and production of the irrigated area. Overcoming
   water shortages involves converting the risk or bottlenecks into a great
   productive opportunity embodied in a growing urban/tourist impact, which
   reduces the irrigated area by competing for water. This dynamic
   urban-residential process of expansion penetrates from the coast to the
   inland municipalities because of the increased availability of cheap
   land and urban planning flexibility. As the prosperity of this area of
   Alicante will always be linked to solving the problem of water, water
   conflicts need to be resolved in order to avoid increased competition
   with other uses of the land. For this reason, the aim of this work is to
   understand and study the current status of the territorial model as well
   as to offer a diagnosis of the deficits, advantages and potential for
   better management of land and water without affecting the environment.},

Abstract = {BackgroundPerinatal depression (PND) is prevalent and negatively impacts
   HIV care among women living with HIV (WLHIV), yet PND remains
   under-identified in Malawian WLHIV. Accordingly, this formative study
   explored perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of an
   integrated, task-shifted approach to PND screening and treatment in
   maternity clinics. MethodsWe completed consecutive PND screenings of
   HIV+ women attending pre- or post-natal appointments at 5 clinics in
   Lilongwe district, Malawi. We conducted in-depth interviews with the
   first 4-5 women presenting with PND per site (n = 24 total) from July to
   August 2018. PND classification was based on a score \& GE; 10 on the
   Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). We conducted 10 additional
   in-depth interviews with HIV and mental health providers at the 5
   clinics. ResultsMost participants endorsed the feasibility of integrated
   PND screening, as they believed that PND had potential for significant
   morbidity. Among providers, identified barriers to screening were
   negative staff attitudes toward additional work, inadequate staffing
   numbers and time constraints. Suggested solutions to barriers were
   health worker training, supervision, and a brief screening tool.
   Patient-centered counselling strategies were favored over medication by
   WLHIV as the acceptable treatment of choice, with providers supporting
   the role of medication to be restricted to severe depression. Providers
   identified nurses as the most suitable health workers to deliver
   task-shifted interventions and emphasized further training as a
   requirement to ensure successful task shifting. ConclusionImproving PND
   in a simple, task-shifted intervention is essential for supporting
   mental health among women with PND and HIV. Our results suggest that an
   effective PND intervention for this population should include a brief,
   streamlined PND screening questionnaire and individualized counselling
   for those who have PND, with supplemental support groups and depression
   medication readily available. These study results support the
   development of a PND intervention to address the gap in treatment of PND
   and HIV among WLHIV in Malawi.},

Title = {Protocol for a prospective, controlled study of assertive and timely
   reperfusion for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
   in Tamil Nadu: the TN-STEMI programme},
Journal = {BMJ OPEN},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {3},
Number = {12},
Abstract = {Introduction: Over the past two decades, India has witnessed a
   staggering increase in the incidence and mortality of ST-elevation
   myocardial infarction (STEMI). Indians have higher rates of STEMI and
   younger populations that suffer from it when compared with developed
   countries. Yet, the recommended reperfusion therapy with fibrinolysis
   and percutaneous coronary intervention is available only to a minority
   of patients. This gap in care is a result of financial barriers, limited
   healthcare infrastructure and poor knowledge and accessibility of acute
   medical services for a majority of its population.
   Methods and analysis: This is a prospective, multicentre,
   `pretest/post-test' quasi-experimental, community-based study. This
   programme will use a `hub-and-spoke' model of an integrated healthcare
   network based on clusters of primary-care health clinics, small
   hospitals and large tertiary-care facilities. It is an `all-comers'
   study which will enrol consecutive patients presenting with STEMI to the
   participating hospitals. The primary objectives of the study is to
   improve the use of reperfusion therapy and reduce the time from first
   medical contact to device or drug in STEMI patients; and to increase the
   rates of early invasive risk stratification with coronary angiography
   within 3-24 h of fibrinolytic therapy in eligible patients through
   changes in process of care. Outcomes will be measured with statistical
   comparison made before and after implementing the TN-STEMI programme.
   The estimated sample size is based on the Kovai Erode Pilot study, which
   provided an initial work on establishing this type of programme in South
   India. It will be adequately powered at 80\% with a superiority margin
   of 10\% if 36 patients are enrolled per cluster or 108 patients in three
   clusters. Thus, the enrolment period of 9 months will result in a sample
   size of 1500 patients.
   Ethics: This study will be conducted in accordance with the ethical
   principles that have their origin in the current Declaration of Helsinki
   and `ethical guidelines for biomedical research on human participants'
   as laid down by the Indian Council for Medical Research. All
   participating hospitals will still obtain local ethics committee
   approval of the study protocol and written informed consent will be
   obtained from all participants.
   Dissemination and results: Our findings will be reported through
   scientific publications, research conferences and public policy venues
   aimed at state and local governments in India. If successful, this model
   can be extended to other areas of India as well as serve as a model of
   STEMI systems of care for low-income and middle-income countries across
   the world.},

Abstract = {Cancer is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality
   today. It is estimated that around 43\% of cancer deaths are due to
   tobacco use, unhealthy diets, alcohol consumption, inactive lifestyles
   and infection. Low-income and disadvantaged groups are generally more
   exposed to avoidable risk factors such as environmental carcinogens,
   alcohol, infectious agents, and tobacco use. These groups also have less
   access to the health services and health education that would empower
   them to make decisions to protect and improve their own health.
   Oro-pharyngeal cancer is significant component of the global burden of
   cancer. Tobacco and alcohol are regarded as the major risk factors for
   oral cancer. The populationattributable risks of smoking and alcohol
   consumption have been estimated to 80\% for males, 61\% for females, and
   74\% overall. The evidence that smokeless tobacco causes oral cancer was
   confirmed recently by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
   Studies have shown that heavy intake of alcoholic beverages is
   associated with nutrient deficiency, which appears to contribute
   independently to oral carcinogenesis. Oral cancer is preventable through
   risk factors intervention. Prevention of HIV infection will also reduce
   the incidence of HIV/AIDS-related cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma and
   lymphoma. The WHO Global Oral Health Programme is committed to work for
   country capacity building in oral cancer prevention, inter-country
   exchange of information and experiences from integrated approaches in
   prevention and health promotion, and the development of global
   surveillance systems for oral cancer and risk factors. The WHO Global
   Oral Health Programme has established a global surveillance system of
   oral cavity cancer in order to assess risk factors and to help the
   planning of effective national intervention programmes. Epidemiological
   data on oral cancer (ICD-10: C00-C08) incidence and mortality are stored
   in the Global Oral Health Data Bank. In 2007, the World Health Assembly
   (WHA) passed a resolution on oral health for the first time in 25 years,
   which also considers oral cancer prevention. The resolution WHA60 A16
   URGES Member states-To take steps to ensure that prevention of oral
   cancer is an integral part of national cancer-control programmes, and to
   involve oral-health professionals or primary health care personnel with
   relevant training in oral health in detection, early diagnosis and
   treatment;The WHO Global Oral Health Programme will use this statement
   as the lead for its work for oral cancer control

Title = {Implementing a psychosocial care approach in pediatric inpatient care:
   process evaluation of the pilot Child Life Specialist program at the
   University Hospital of Munich, Germany},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN PEDIATRICS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {11},
Month = {JUN 7},
Abstract = {BackgroundChild Life Specialists (CLSs) are psychosocial care
   professionals of child development and health who focus on the
   individual needs and rights of young patients. CLSs accompany sick
   children and focus on the children's perspective and their reality of
   life. CLS programs are already established in clinical settings in the
   United States and other Anglophone countries but have not yet been
   piloted in the German health care setting, neither has their
   implementation been evaluated in this context. This study aimed to
   explore the factors influencing the implementation of a pilot CLS
   program in pediatric inpatient care at the Dr. von Hauner Children's
   Hospital at the University Hospital of Munich, Germany. MethodsBuilding
   on methods commonly employed in the evaluation of complex interventions,
   we developed a logic model to guide the process evaluation of our
   program. Semi-structured interviews with four groups of stakeholders
   were conducted in person or via videoconferencing between June 2021 and
   January 2022. Data was analyzed collectively using the method of
   qualitative content analysis by Mayring. ResultsFifteen individual
   interviews were conducted with patients (children aged 5-17 years, n =
   4), parents (n = 4), CLSs (n = 4) and other health professionals (n =
   3). Factors influencing the implementation were identified on three
   levels: system, staff and intervention. On the system level, a clearer
   definition of CLSs' tasks and responsibilities was perceived as
   important and would likely lead to a delineation from other
   (psychosocial) professions and a reduction of potential resistances. On
   the staff level, lacking training opportunities and feelings of being
   insufficiently skilled were limiting the CLSs professional
   self-confidence. On the intervention level, the emergence of a unique
   characteristic of the CLSs' work (i.e., preparation for medical
   procedures) supported the acceptance of the new program. ConclusionsThe
   implementation of a CLS program into an established hospital system with
   existing psychosocial care services is challenging. Our results
   contribute to a better understanding of implementation processes of such
   an additional psychosocial care approach and provide recommendations for
   addressing upcoming challenges.},

Title = {Can mHealth and eHealth improve management of diabetes and hypertension
   in a hard-to-reach population? -lessons learned from a process
   evaluation of digital health to support a peer educator model in
   Cambodia using the RE-AIM framework br},
Journal = {MHEALTH},

Abstract = {Background: The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing
   in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) where NCDs cause 4:5 deaths,
   disproportionately affect poorer populations, and carry a large economic
   burden. Digital interventions can improve NCD management for these
   hard-to-reach populations with inadequate health systems and high
   cell-phone coverage; however, there is limited research on whether
   digital health is reaching this potential. We conducted a process
   evaluation to understand challenges and successes from a digital health
   intervention trial to support Cambodians living with NCDs in a peer
   educator (PE) program. Methods: MoPoTsyo, a Cambodian non-governmental
   organization (NGO), trains people living with diabetes and/or
   hypertension as PEs to provide self-management education, support, and
   healthcare linkages for better care management among underserved
   populations. We partnered with MoPoTsyo and InSTEDD in 2016-2018 to test
   tailored and targeted mHealth mobile voice messages and eHealth tablets
   to facilitate NCD management and clinical-community linkages. This
   cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) engaged 3,948 people and 75
   PEs across rural and urban areas. Our mixed methods process evaluation
   was guided by RE-AIM to understand impact and real-world implications of
   digital health. Data included patient (20) and PE interviews (6),
   meeting notes, and administrative datasets. We triangulated and analyzed
   data using thematic analysis, and descriptive and complier average
   causal effects statistics (CACE). Results: Reach: intervention
   participants were more urban (66\% vs. 44\%), had more PE visits (39 vs.
   29), and lower uncontrolled hypertension {[}12\% and 7\% vs. 23\% and
   16\% uncontrolled systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood
   pressure (DBP)]. Adoption: patients were sent mean {[}standard deviation
   (SD)] 30 {[}14] and received 14 {[}8] messages; 40\% received no
   messages due to frequent phone number changes. Effectiveness: CACE found
   clinically but not statistically significant improvements in blood
   pressure and sugar for mHealth participants who received at least one
   message vs. no messages. Implementation: main barriers were limited
   cellular access and that mHealth/eHealth could not solve structural
   barriers to NCD control faced by people in poverty. Maintenance: had the
   intervention been universally effective, it could be paid for from
   additional revolving drug fund revenue, new agreements with mobile
   networks, or the government. Conclusions: Evidence for digital health to
   improve NCD outcomes in LMICs are limited. This study suggests digital
   health alone is insufficient in countries with low resource health
   systems and that high cell phone coverage did not translate to access.
   Adding digital health to an NCD peer network may not significantly
   benefit an already effective program; mHealth may be better for
   hard-to-reach populations not connected to other supports. As long as
   mHealth remains an individual-level intervention, it will not address
   social determinants of health that drive outcomes. Future digital health
   research and practice to improve NCD management in LMICs requires
   engaging government, NGOs, and technology providers to work together to
   address barriers.},

Title = {The Self-Testing AfRica (STAR) Initiative: accelerating global access
   and scale-up of HIV self-testing},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL AIDS SOCIETY},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {22},
Number = {1, SI},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {IntroductionHIV self-testing (HIVST) was first proposed as an additional
   option to standard HIV testing services in the 1980s. By 2015, two years
   after the first HIVST kit was approved for the American market and the
   year in which Unitaid invested in the HIV Self-Testing AfRica (STAR)
   Initiative, HIVST remained unexplored with negligible access in low- and
   middle-income countries (LMIC). However, rapid progress had been made.
   This commentary outlines the interlinked market, regulatory and policy
   barriers that had inhibited product development and kept HIVST out of
   LMIC policy. We detail the components of STAR that enabled rapid HIVST
   scale-up, including critical investments in implementation, research,
   market forecasting, and engagement with manufacturers and regulators.
   DiscussionThe STAR Initiative has generated crucial information about
   how to distribute HIVST products effectively, ethically and efficiently.
   Service delivery models range from clinic-based distribution to
   workplace and partner-delivered approaches to reach first-time male
   testers, to community outreach to sex workers and general population
   hotspots. These data directly informed supportive policy, notably the
   2016 WHO guidelines strongly recommending HIVST as an additional testing
   approach, and regulatory change through support for WHO prequalification
   of the first HIVST kit in 2017. In July 2015, only two countries had
   national HIVST policies and were implementing HIVST. Three years later,
   59 countries have policies, actively implemented in 28, with an
   additional 53 countries reporting policies under development. By
   end-November 2018 several quality-assured HIVST products had been
   registered, including two WHO prequalified tests. STAR Initiative
   countries have drafted regulations governing invitro diagnostics,
   including HIVST products. With enabling policies, pre-qualification and
   regulations in place, donor procurement of kits has increased rapidly,
   to a forecasted estimate of 16million HIVST kits procured by 2020.
   ConclusionsThe STAR Initiative provided a strong foundation to introduce
   HIVST in LMICs and allow for rapid scale-up based on the wealth of
   multi-country evidence gathered. Together with sustained coordination
   and acceleration of market development work, HIVST can help address the
   testing gap and provide a focused and cost-effective means to expand
   access to treatment and prevention services.},

Title = {Discrimination perceived by people with a diagnosis of schizophrenic
   disorders. INtemational study of Discrimination and stiGma Outcomes

Abstract = {Introduction. - The INDIGO study (INternational study of Discrimination
   and stiGma Outcomes) aims at assessing the impact of schizophrenic
   disorders diagnosis on privacy, social and professional life, in terms
   of discrimination. In the general population, and even among health and
   social professionals, erroneous negative stereotypes (double
   personality, dangerosity) lead to high social distance. And this has an
   impact on various parts of daily life: employment, housing, compliance,
   self-esteem... About a tenth of the adult population suffers from mental
   disorders at any one time. These disorders now account for about 12\% of
   the global impact of disability, and this will rise to 15\% by the year
   2020. People living with schizophrenia, for example, experience reduced
   social participation, whilst public images of mental illness and social
   reactions add a dimension of suffering, which has been described as a
   ``second illness{''}. Stigmatizing attitudes and discriminatory behavior
   among the general population against people with severe mental illness
   are common in all countries. Globally, little is known of effective
   interventions against stigma. It is clear that the negative effects of
   stigma can act as formidable barriers to active recovery.
   Methodology. - The INDIGO study intends to establish detailed
   international data on how stigma and discrimination affect the lives of
   people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The first aim of the INDIGO
   study is to conduct qualitative and quantitative interviews with 25
   people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia in each participating site, to
   elicit information on how the condition affects their everyday lives,
   with a focus upon sites in Europe. The second is to gather data for all
   participating countries on the laws, policies and regulations which set
   a clear distinction between people with a diagnosis of mental illness
   and others, to establish an international profile of such
   discrimination. A new scale (Discrimination and Stigma Scale {[}DISC]),
   used in a face-to-face setting was developed. Interviewers asked service
   users to comment on how far their mental disorder has affected key areas
   of their lives, including work, marriage and partnerships, housing,
   leisure, and religious activities. For country-level information, staff
   at each national site gathered the best available data on whether
   special legal, policy or administrative arrangements are made for people
   with a diagnosis of mental illness. These items included, for example,
   information on access to insurance, financial services, driving
   licenses, voting, jury service, or travel visas. The INDIGO study is
   conducted within the framework of the WPA global program to fight stigma
   and discrimination because of schizophrenia. French interviews occurred
   in two sites (Lille and Nice) on a sample of 25 patients.
   Results. - First, expressed disadvantages are high for several items
   (all relations, work and training, housing). In addition, we wish to
   highlight three specific points: almost half of the participants (46\%)
   suffer from not being respected because of contacts with services, 88\%
   of them felt rejected by people who know their diagnosis, and 76\%
   hide/conceal their diagnosis. Positive experienced discrimination was
   rare. Two thirds of participants anticipated discrimination for job
   seeking and close personal relationships, sometimes with no experienced
   discrimination.
   Conclusions. - This study, one of the rare in France adopting the point
   of view of a stigmatized group, revealed the numerous impacts of a
   diagnosis of schizophrenic disorders on everyday life. Comparisons
   between French and international results confirmed that the situation is
   not different in France, and even highlighted the extent of the
   stigmatization in the country. (C) L'Encephale, Paris, 2011.},

Title = {Comparing the Effectiveness of Clinicians and Paraprofessionals to
   Reduce Disparities in Perinatal Depression via the Mothers and Babies
   Course: Protocol for a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial},
Journal = {JMIR RESEARCH PROTOCOLS},
Year = {2018},

Abstract = {Background: Postpartum depression is highly prevalent in low-income
   women and has significant health and mental health effects on mother and
   child. Home visiting (HV) programs provide services to large numbers of
   perinatal women in the United States and are a logical setting for
   delivering mental health services. Although there are interventions that
   reduce the risk of developing postpartum depression among low-income
   women, none have used nonhealth or nonmental health professionals as
   interventionists.
   Objective: This study aimed to outline the protocol of a cluster
   randomized trial funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
   Institute that evaluates whether the Mothers and Babies (MB) group
   intervention, when led by paraprofessional home visitors, is more
   efficacious than usual care. It will also examine if MB, when led by
   home visitors, is not inferior to MB delivered by mental health
   professionals (MHPs). MB has previously demonstrated efficacy when
   delivered by MHPs, and pilot work indicated promising results using home
   visitors to deliver the intervention.
   Methods: A cluster randomized trial is being conducted with 38 HV
   programs. Sixteen HV programs will deliver MB using MHPs, 16 will
   deliver MB using paraprofessional home visitors, and 6 will deliver
   usual HV services. The study employs a modified covariate-constrained
   randomization design at the site level. We anticipate recruiting 933
   women aged >= 16 years enrolled in HV programs, who are 33 or more
   weeks' gestation and speak either English or Spanish. Women in the 2
   intervention arms will receive the 6-session MB group intervention.
   Baseline, postintervention, 12-week postpartum, and 24-week postpartum
   assessments will be conducted to assess client outcomes. The primary
   outcome will be the change in Quick Inventory of Depressive
   Symptomatology Self-Report 16 scores from baseline to 24-week follow-up.
   Secondary outcomes associated with core MB content will also be
   examined. Semistructured interviews will be conducted with home visitors
   and MHPs who are group facilitators and 90 study participants to gain
   data on intervention successes and challenges. Analyses will proceed at
   the participant level. Primary analyses for depressive symptoms score at
   24 weeks postpartum will involve a linear mixed model, controlling for
   baseline symptoms and other covariates, and random effects to account
   for clustering.
   Results: We have recruited 838 women through the end of August 2018.
   Recruitment will be completed at the end of September 2018.
   Conclusions: There is considerable potential to disseminate MB to HV
   programs throughout the United States. Should our results demonstrate
   home visitor efficacy when compared with usual care and/noninferiority
   between home visitors and MHPs in improving mental health outcomes, no
   additional financial resources would be required for the existing HV
   staff to implement MB. Should this study determine that home visitors

Title = {A mixed methods randomised feasibility trial investigating the
   management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in acute traumatic
   brain injury},
Journal = {PILOT AND FEASIBILITY STUDIES},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {6},
Number = {1},
Abstract = {BackgroundTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of long-term
   disability in working age adults. Recent studies show that most acute
   TBI patients demonstrate vestibular features of dizziness and imbalance,
   often from combined peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction.
   Effective treatment for vestibular impairments post-TBI is important
   given its significant adverse impact upon quality of life and employment
   prospects. The most frequent peripheral vestibular disorder in acute TBI
   is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), affecting approximately
   half of acute cases. Although there is effective treatment for
   idiopathic BPPV, there are no high-quality clinical data for post-TBI
   BPPV regarding its prevalence, natural history, which treatment is most
   effective and when is the best time to treat. In particular,
   observational studies suggest post-TBI BPPV may be recurrent, indicating
   that hyperacute treatment of BPPV may be futile. Given the potential
   hurdles and the lack of accurate post-TBI BPPV data, the current study
   was designed to provide information regarding the feasibility and
   optimal design of future large-scale prospective treatment studies that
   would compare different interventions and their timing for post-TBI
   BPPV.MethodA multi-centre randomised mixed methods feasibility study
   design was employed. We aim to recruit approximately 75 acute TBI
   patients across a range of clinical severities, from three major trauma
   centres in London. Patients will be randomised to one of three treatment
   arms: (1) therapist-led manoeuvres, (2) patient-led exercises and (3)
   advice. Participants will be re-assessed by blinded outcome assessors at
   4 and 12weeks. Acceptability of the intervention will be obtained by
   patient interviews at the end of their treatment and therapist
   interviews at the end of the study. Primary outcomes relate to
   feasibility parameters including recruitment and retention rates,
   adverse events and intervention fidelity. We will also aim to provide a
   more accurate estimate of the prevalence of BPPV in TBI cases on the
   trauma ward.DiscussionThe multi-centre nature of our feasibility study
   will inform the design of a future prospective treatment trial of BPPV
   in acute TBI. Important parameters we will obtain from this study, key
   for designing a future prospective treatment study, include estimating
   the prevalence of BPPV in TBI patients admitted to UK major trauma
   wards, and elucidating both patient and care-provider barriers in
   delivering BPPV treatment.Trial registrationISRCTN, ISRCTN91943864.

Title = {Implementing the Routine Use of Electronic Mental Health Screening for
   Youth in Primary Care: Systematic Review},
Journal = {JMIR MENTAL HEALTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {8},
Number = {11},
Month = {NOV 1},
Abstract = {Background: Adolescents often present at primary care clinics with
   nonspecific physical symptoms when, in fact, they have at least 1 mental
   health or risk behavior (psychosocial) issue with which they would like
   help but do not disclose to their care provider. Despite global
   recommendations, over 50\% of youths are not screened for mental health
   and risk behavior issues in primary care.
   Objective: This review aimed to examine the implementation,
   acceptability, feasibility, benefits, and barriers of e-screening tools
   for mental health and risk behaviors among youth in primary care
   settings.
   Methods: Electronic databases-MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and the Cochrane
   Database of Systematic Reviews-were searched for studies on the routine
   screening of youth in primary care settings. Screening tools needed to
   be electronic and screen for at least 1 mental health or risk behavior
   issue. A total of 11 studies that were reported in 12 articles, of which
   all were from high-income countries, were reviewed.
   Results: e-Screening was largely proven to be feasible and acceptable to
   youth and their primary care providers. Preconsultation e-screening
   facilitated discussions about sensitive issues and increased disclosure
   by youth. However, barriers such as the lack of time, training, and
   discomfort in raising sensitive issues with youth continued to be
   reported.
   Conclusions: To implement e-screening, clinicians need to change their
   behaviors, and e-screening processes must become normalized into their
   workflows. Co-designing and tailoring screening implementation
   frameworks to meet the needs of specific contexts may be required to
   ensure that clinicians overcome initial resistances and perceived
   barriers and adopt the required processes in their work.},

Abstract = {Economic hardship is a driver of entry into sex work, which is
   associated with high HIV risk. Yet, little is known about economic abuse
   in women employed by sex work (WESW) and its relationship to uptake of
   HIV prevention and financial support services. This study used
   cross-sectional baseline data from a multisite, longitudinal clinical
   trial that tests the efficacy of adding economic empowerment to
   traditional HIV risk reduction education on HIV incidence in 542 WESW.
   Mixed effects logistic and linear regressions were used to examine
   associations in reported economic abuse by demographic characteristics,
   sexual behaviors, HIV care-seeking, and financial care-seeking. Mean age
   was 31.4 years. Most WESW were unmarried (74\%) and had less than
   primary school education (64\%). 48\% had savings, and 72\% had debt.
   93\% reported at least one economic abuse incident. Common incidents
   included being forced to ask for money (80\%), having financial
   information kept from them (61\%), and being forced to disclose how
   money was spent (56\%). WESW also reported partners/relatives spending
   money needed for bills (45\%), not paying bills (38\%), threatening them
   to quit their job(s) (38\%), and using physical violence when earning
   income (24\%). Married/partnered WESW (OR = 2.68, 95\% CI:1.60-4.48),
   those with debt (OR = 1.70, 95\% CI:1.04-2.77), and those with sex-work
   bosses (OR = 1.90, 95\% CI:1.07-3.38) had higher economic abuse.
   Condomless sex (beta = +4.43, p < .05) was higher among WESW
   experiencing economic abuse, who also had lower odds of initiating PrEP
   (OR = .39, 95\% CI:.17-.89). WESW experiencing economic abuse were also
   more likely to ask for cash among relatives (OR = 2.36, 95\%
   CI:1.13-4.94) or banks (OR = 2.12, 95\% CI:1.11-4.03). The high
   prevalence of HIV and economic abuse in WESW underscores the importance
   of integrating financial empowerment in HIV risk reduction interventions
   for WESW, including education about economic abuse and strategies to
   address it. Programs focusing on violence against women should also
   consider economic barriers to accessing HIV prevention services.},

Title = {Midwifery continuity of care versus standard maternity care for women at
   increased risk of preterm birth: A hybrid implementation-effectiveness,
   randomised controlled pilot trial in the UK},
Journal = {PLOS MEDICINE},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {17},
Number = {10},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Background
   Midwifery continuity of care is the only health system intervention
   shown to reduce preterm birth (PTB) and improve perinatal survival, but
   no trial evidence exists for women with identified risk factors for PTB.
   We aimed to assess feasibility, fidelity, and clinical outcomes of a
   model of midwifery continuity of care linked with a specialist obstetric
   clinic for women considered at increased risk for PTB.
   Methods and findings
   We conducted a hybrid implementation-effectiveness, randomised,
   controlled, unblinded, parallel-group pilot trial at an inner-city
   maternity service in London (UK), in which pregnant women identified at
   increased risk of PTB were randomly assigned (1:1) to either midwifery
   continuity of antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care (Pilot study Of
   midwifery Practice in Preterm birth Including women's Experiences
   {[}POPPIE] group) or standard care group (maternity care by different
   midwives working in designated clinical areas). Pregnant women attending
   for antenatal care at less than 24 weeks' gestation were eligible if
   they fulfilled one or more of the following criteria: previous cervical
   surgery, cerclage, premature rupture of membranes, PTB, or late
   miscarriage; previous short cervix or short cervix this pregnancy; or
   uterine abnormality and/or current smoker of tobacco. Feasibility
   outcomes included eligibility, recruitment and attrition rates, and
   fidelity of the model. The primary outcome was a composite of
   appropriate and timely interventions for the prevention and/or
   management of preterm labour and birth. We analysed by intention to
   treat. Between 9 May 2017 and 30 September 2018, 334 women were
   recruited; 169 women were allocated to the POPPIE group and 165 to the
   standard group. Mean maternal age was 31 years; 32\% of the women were
   from Black, Asian, and ethnic minority groups; 70\% were in employment;
   and 46\% had a university degree. Nearly 70\% of women lived in areas of
   social deprivation. More than a quarter of women had at least one
   pre-existing medical condition and multiple risk factors for PTB. More
   than 75\% of antenatal and postnatal visits were provided by a
   named/partner midwife, and a midwife from the POPPIE team was present at
   80\% of births. The incidence of the primary composite outcome showed no
   statistically significant difference between groups (POPPIE group 83.3\%
   versus standard group 84.7\%; risk ratio 0.98 {[}95\% confidence
   interval (CI) 0.90 to 1.08]; p = 0.742). Infants in the POPPIE group
   were significantly more likely to have skin-to-skin contact after birth,
   to have it for a longer time, and to breastfeed immediately after birth
   and at hospital discharge. There were no differences in other secondary
   outcomes. The number of serious adverse events was similar in both
   groups and unrelated to the intervention (POPPIE group 6 versus standard
   group 5). Limitations of this study included the limited power and the
   nonmasking of group allocation; however, study assignment was masked to
   the statistician and researchers who analysed the data.
   Conclusions
   In this study, we found that it is feasible to set up and achieve
   fidelity of a model of midwifery continuity of care linked with
   specialist obstetric care for women at increased risk of PTB in an
   inner-city maternity service in London (UK), but there is no impact on
   most outcomes for this population group.
   Larger appropriately powered trials are needed, including in other
   settings, to evaluate the impact of relational continuity and
   hypothesised mechanisms of effect based on increased trust and
   engagement, improved care coordination, and earlier referral on
   disadvantaged communities, including women with complex social factors
   and social vulnerability.},

Title = {Absenteeism Among Family Planning Providers: A Mixed-Methods Study in

Journal = {HEALTH POLICY AND PLANNING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {37},

Abstract = {Public-sector healthcare providers are on the frontline of family
   planning service delivery in low- and middle-income countries like
   Kenya, yet research suggests public-sector providers are frequently
   absent. The current prevalence of absenteeism in Western Kenya, as well
   as the impact on family planning clients, is unknown. The objective of
   this paper is to quantify the prevalence of public-sector healthcare
   provider absenteeism in this region of Kenya, to describe the potential
   impact on family planning uptake and to source locally-grounded
   solutions to provider absenteeism. We used multiple data collection
   methods including unannounced visits to a random sample of 60
   public-sector healthcare facilities in Western Kenya, focus group
   discussions with current and former family planning users, key informant
   interviews with senior staff from healthcare facilities and both
   governmental and non-governmental organizations, and journey mapping
   activities with current family planning providers and clients. We found
   healthcare providers were absent in nearly 60\% of unannounced visits
   and, among those present, 19\% were not working at the time of the
   visit. In 20\% of unannounced visits, the facility had no providers
   present. Provider absenteeism took many forms including providers
   arriving late to work, taking an extended lunch break, not returning
   from lunch, or being absent for the entire day. While 56\% of provider
   absences resulted from sanctioned activities such as planned vacation,
   sick leave, or off-site work responsibilities, nearly half of the
   absences were unsanctioned, meaning providers were reportedly running
   personal errands, intending to arrive later, or no one at the facility
   could explain the absence. Key informants and focus group participants
   reported high provider absence is a substantial barrier to contraceptive
   use, but solutions for resolving this problem remain elusive.
   Identification and rigorous evaluation of interventions designed to
   redress provider absenteeism are needed.},

Abstract = {Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on the perceptions of key
   stakeholders of the human resource management (HRM) practices and
   challenges in performing arts organisations in Victoria, Australia.
   Challenges include the precarious nature of employment in the industry;
   poor wages and conditions leading to financial insecurity and the
   domination of the industry by small- and medium-sized organisations. The
   passion and commitment of the performing arts workforce are both a
   strength and a weakness in that they ``buy in{''} to the expectations of
   long hours and unpaid work. These challenges impact on managers and
   administrators as well as performers and raise many challenges for the
   HRM function and places constraints on even basic HRM practices. Despite
   the claims of the stakeholders that the large companies have
   sophisticated HRM practices the early evidence suggests otherwise.
   Furthermore, many of these problems cannot be solved at the
   organisational level and need an industry and government response.
   Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research approach is used to
   guide this study as it allows contextual evaluation of the data. Eight
   key stakeholders interviewed for this study included one official
   specialising in industrial relations from Live Performance Australia,
   one official from the Media and Entertainment and Arts Alliance, two
   government officials from the State government, one with responsibility
   for working with Performing Arts companies in relation to funding and
   resources, and the other with responsibility for government arts policy
   development; two chief executive officers - one from a small arts
   company and the other from a large arts company; one HR director from a
   large arts company; and one manager from a small-to-medium-size company.
   Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were undertaken to provide an
   information-rich inquiry. Findings The study suggests that there are
   considerable barriers to the effective adoption and implementation of
   HRM in the performing arts. In particular, the research identified four
   major features that impact on HRM practices in the arts sector. These
   are: first, the precarious nature of employment, due to the short-term
   and project focussed work. Second, the reliance on often limited
   government funding, supplemented by philanthropy, sponsorship and box
   office takings, leading to short-term and long-term financial insecurity
   and limited capacity for long-term planning. Third, limited resources
   and high levels of casualisation which leads to low income, poor working
   conditions, lack of training and few opportunities for career
   development. Fourth, despite these difficult conditions, the sector
   appears to attract a highly motivated and committed workforce including
   not just performers but also managers and administrators and the sector
   appears to rely on their passion, commitment and shared endeavour.
   Originality/value This study contributes to the understanding of HRM
   systems and practices in the performing arts.},

Abstract = {Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that disproportionately
   affects the poor. The World Health Organization lists economic factors
   as one of main barriers to tuberculosis management. Aims: This study
   aimed to estimate the household total catastrophic cost of TB and its
   determinants among newly diag-nosed Egyptian tuberculous patients.
   Methods: This was a cohort prospective study covering 257 TB patients
   registered in 2019. The patients were followed up bi-monthly until the
   end of the treatment regimen (4 visits). A standardized questionnaire
   published by the poverty sub-working group of the Stop TB Partnership
   was used after minor modification. The following costs were measured:
   pre-diagnosis, direct and indirect, guardian and coping, as well as
   annual household income. Catastrophic cost (direct plus indirect) was
   considered if the total cost of TB treatment exceeded 20\% of the
   household's annual income. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using
   different thresholds. Results: The incidence of household total
   catastrophic cost was 24.1\%. The mean total cost of TB treatment was
   US\$ 198. Over 50\% of the total direct cost was incurred during the
   pre-diagnosis period. After adjustment for other determinant variables
   using multivariable logistic regression, we found that age < 30 years,
   living in a house with crowding index > 2, poverty and coping were more
   likely to cause higher total catastrophic cost. Conclusions:
   Catastrophic cost was experienced by 1 out of every 4 new TB patients.
   As the main cost drivers were pover-ty and coping, the Ministry of
   Health and Population should be collaborated with Ministry of Finance
   and NGOs to put a plan of social protection system for poor families
   with TB patients.},

Title = {Effect of job maintenance training program for employees with chronic
   disease - a randomized controlled trial on self-efficacy, job
   satisfaction, and fatigue},

Abstract = {Objective Employees with a chronic physical condition may be hampered in
   job performance due to physical or cognitive limitations, pain, fatigue,
   psychosocial barriers, or because medical treatment interferes with
   work. This study investigates the effect of a group-training program
   aimed at job maintenance. Essential elements of the program are
   exploration of work-related problems, communication at the workplace,
   and the development and implementation of solutions.
   Methods Participants with chronic physical diseases were randomly
   assigned to the intervention (N=64) or control group (N=58).
   Participants were eligible for the study if they had a chronic physical
   disease, paid employment, experienced work-related problems, and were
   not on long-term 100\% sick leave. Primary outcome measures were
   self-efficacy in solving work- and disease-related problems (14-70), job
   dissatisfaction (0-100), fatigue (20-140) and job maintenance measured
   at 4-, 8-, 12- and 24-month follow-up. We used GLM repeated measures for
   the analysis.
   Results After 24 months, loss to follow-up was 5.7\% (7/122).
   Self-efficacy increased and fatigue decreased significantly more in the
   experimental than the control group {[}10 versus 4 points (P=0.000) and
   19 versus 8 points (P=0.032), respectively]. Job satisfaction increased
   more in the experimental group but not significantly {[}6 versus 0
   points (P=0.698)]. Job maintenance was 87\% in the experimental and 91\%
   in the control group, which was not a significant difference. Many
   participants in the control group also undertook actions to solve
   work-related problems.
   Conclusions Empowerment training increases self-efficacy and helps to
   reduce fatigue complaints, which in the long term could lead to more job
   maintenance. Better understanding of ways to deal with work-related
   problems is needed to develop more efficient support for employees with
   a chronic disease.},

Title = {Peripheral neuropathic pain - a multidimensional burden for patients},
Journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PAIN},
Year = {2001},
Volume = {5},
Number = {4},
Pages = {379-389},
Abstract = {The present study was undertaken to assess the health-related quality of
   life (HRQoL) and burden of illness due to pain and its treatment for
   patients with peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP). It is the first step in
   finding reliable instruments/targets to evaluate treatment outcome in
   this patient population. Study population consisted of 126 patients
   suffering from neuropathic, pain due to a peripheral nerve or root
   lesion, recruited from two multidisciplinary pain clinics. HRQoL was
   examined using Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey and Nottingham Health
   Profile (NHP). Pain intensity in four categories (at rest and evoked by
   movement, touch and cold) was rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS).
   Degree of discomfort from pain and 25 symptoms related to pain and
   side-effects was also assessed. Reduction in workload due to pain was
   recorded, as was the pain relief from previous and current treatments
   and the reasons for discontinuing previous treatments.
   All dimensions in SF-36 and NHP were significantly impaired. SF-36 was a
   valid instrument for describing the impact of pain on the HRQoL of
   patients with PNP. NHP had a lower reliability but has other advantages
   that might be of importance. Many patients experienced poor pain relief
   from ongoing pain treatments. Most previous treatments were discontinued
   owing to lack of efficacy and/or severe side-effects. Many patients
   experienced a high intensity of at least one type of pain; median VAS
   for the highest pain intensity score of each patient (any type of pain)
   was 74/100. Besides pain, patients were most bothered by difficulty in
   sleeping, lack of energy, drowsiness, difficulty in concentrating and
   dry mouth. Employment status was reduced owing to pain in 52\% of the
   patients.
   The intense pain, other troublesome symptoms, limited efficacy and
   tolerability of available treatments, together with the impaired health
   and reduced work status, amount to a substantial burden for patients
   with PNP. (C) 2001 European Federation of Chapters of the International

Title = {An evidence synthesis of qualitative and quantitative research on

   lifestyle advisor role in improving health},
Journal = {HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT},
Year = {2011},

Abstract = {Background: There is a need to identify and analyse the range of models
   developed to date for delivering health-related lifestyle advice (HRLA),
   or training, for effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in improving the
   health and well-being of individuals and communities in the UK, with
   particular reference to the reduction of inequalities.
   Objectives: To identify the component intervention techniques of
   lifestyle advisors (LAs) in the UK and similar contexts, and the
   outcomes of HRLA interventions.
   Data sources: Stakeholder views, secondary analysis of the National
   Survey of Health Trainer Activity, telephone survey of health trainer
   leads/coordinators. A search of a range of electronic databases was
   undertaken {[}including the Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts
   (ASSIA), EMBASE, NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED), MEDLINE,
   Psyc INFO, etc.], as well searching relevant journals and reference
   lists, conducted from inception to September 2008.
   Review methods: Identified studies were scanned by two reviewers and
   those meeting the following criteria were included: studies carrying out
   an evaluation of HRLA; those taking place in developed countries similar
   to the UK context; those looking at adult groups; interventions with the
   explicit aim of health improvement; interventions that involved paid or
   voluntary work with an individual or group of peers acting in an
   advisory role; advice delivered by post, online or electronically;
   training, support or counselling delivered to patients, communities or
   members of the public. After quality assessment, studies were selected
   for inclusion in the review. Data were abstracted from each study
   according to an agreed procedure and narrative, and realist and economic
   approaches were used to synthesise the data. Cost-effectiveness analysis
   of interventions was undertaken.
   Results: In total, 269 studies were identified but 243 were excluded.
   The 26 included studies addressing chronic care, mental health,
   breastfeeding, smoking, diet and physical activity, screening and human
   immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection prevention. Overall, there was
   insufficient evidence to either support or refute the use of LAs to
   promote health and improve quality of life (QoL), and thus uncertainty
   about the interventions' cost-effectiveness. However, the economic
   analysis showed that LA interventions were cost-effective in chronic
   care and smoking cessation, inconclusive for breastfeeding and mental
   health and not cost-effective for screening uptake and diet/physical
   activity. LA interventions for HIV prevention were cost-effective, but
   not in a UK context.
   Limitations: The wide variety of LA models, delivery settings and target
   populations prevented the reviewers from establishing firm causal
   relationships between intervention mode and study outcomes.
   Conclusions: Evidence was variable, giving only limited support to LAs
   having a positive impact on health knowledge, behaviours and outcomes.
   Levels of acceptability appeared to be high. LAs acted as translational
   agents, sometimes removing barriers to prescribed behaviour or helping
   to create facilitative social environments. Reporting of processes of
   accessing or capitalising on indigenous knowledge was limited. Ambiguity
   was apparent with respect to the role and impact of lay and peer
   characteristics of the interventions. A future programme of research on
   HRLA could benefit from further emphasis on identification of needs, the
   broadening of population focus and intervention aims, the measurement of
   outcomes and the reviewing of evidence.},

Title = {Adaptive e-learning to improve dietary behaviour: a systematic review
   and cost-effectiveness analysis},
Journal = {HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT},
Year = {2011},
Volume = {15},
Number = {37},

Abstract = {Background: UK public health policy strongly advocates dietary change
   for the improvement of population health and emphasises the importance
   of individual empowerment to improve health. A new and evolving area in
   the promotion of dietary behavioural change is `e-learning', the use of
   interactive electronic media to facilitate teaching and learning on a
   range of issues including health. The high level of accessibility,
   combined with emerging advances in computer processing power, data
   transmission and data storage, makes interactive e-learning a
   potentially powerful and cost-effective medium for improving dietary
   behaviour.
   Objective: This review aims to assess the effectiveness and
   cost-effectiveness of adaptive e-learning interventions for dietary
   behaviour change, and also to explore potential psychological mechanisms
   of action and components of effective interventions.
   Data sources: Electronic bibliographic databases (Cumulative Index to
   Nursing and Allied Health Literature, The Cochrane Library, Dissertation
   Abstracts, EMBASE, Education Resources Information Center, Global
   Health, Health Economic Evaluations Database, Health Management
   Information Consortium, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of Science) were
   searched for the period January 1990 to November 2009. Reference lists
   of included studies and previous reviews were also screened; authors
   were contacted and trial registers were searched.
   Review methods: Studies were included if they were randomised controlled
   trials, involving participants aged >= 13 years, which evaluated the
   effectiveness of interactive software programs for improving dietary
   behaviour. Primary outcomes were measures of dietary behaviours,
   including estimated intakes or changes in intake of energy, nutrients,
   dietary fibre, foods or food groups. Secondary outcome measures were
   clinical outcomes such as anthropometry or blood biochemistry.
   Psychological mediators of dietary behaviour change were also
   investigated. Two review authors independently screened results and
   extracted data from included studies, with any discrepancies settled by
   a third author. Where studies reported the same outcome, the results
   were pooled using a random-effects model, with weighted mean differences
   (WMDs), and 95\% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
   Cost-effectiveness was assessed in two ways: through a systematic
   literature review and by building a de novo decision model to assess the
   cost-effectiveness of a `generic' e-learning device compared with
   dietary advice delivered by a health-care professional.
   Results: A total of 36,379 titles were initially identified by the
   electronic searches, of which 43 studies were eligible for inclusion in
   the review. All e-learning interventions were delivered in high-income
   countries. The most commonly used behavioural change techniques reported
   to have been used were goal setting; feedback on performance;
   information on consequences of behaviour in general; barrier
   identification/problem solving; prompting self-monitoring of behaviour;
   and instruction on how to perform the behaviour. There was substantial
   heterogeneity in the estimates of effect. E-learning interventions were
   associated with a WMD of +0.24 (95\% CI 0.04 to 0.44) servings of fruit
   and vegetables per day; -0.78g (95\% CI -2.5g to 0.95g) total fat
   consumed per day; -0.24g (95\% CI -1.44g to 0.96g) saturated fat intake
   per day; -1.4\% (95\% CI -2.5\% to -0.3\%) of total energy consumed from
   fat per day; +1.45g (95\% CI -0.02g to 2.92g) dietary fibre per day; +4
   kcal (95\% CI -85 kcal to 93 kcal) daily energy intake; -0.1 kg/m(2)
   (95\% CI -0.7 kg/m(2) to 0.4 kg/m(2)) change in body mass index. The
   base-case results from the E-Learning Economic Evaluation Model
   suggested that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was
   approximately 102,112 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). Expected
   value of perfect information (EVPI) analysis showed that although the
   individual-level EVPI was arguably negligible, the population-level
   value was between 37M pound and 170M pound at a willingness to pay of
   20,000-30,000 pound per additional QALY.
   Limitations: The limitations of this review include potential reporting
   bias, incomplete retrieval of completed research studies and data
   extraction errors.
   Conclusion: The current clinical and economic evidence base suggests
   that e-learning devices designed to promote dietary behaviour change
   will not produce clinically significant changes in dietary behaviour and
   are at least as expensive as other individual behaviour change
   interventions.
   Future work recommendations: Despite the relatively high EVPI results
   from the cost-effectiveness modelling, further clinical trials of
   individual e-learning interventions should not be undertaken until
   theoretically informed work that addresses the question of which
   characteristics of the target population, target behaviour, content and
   delivery of the intervention are likely to lead to positive results, is
   completed.},

Abstract = {The financial sector is one of the most, if not the most significant
   economic sector in modern societies. In advanced countries, it employs
   more people than major manufacturing industries combined and accounts
   for a high percentage of the Gross Domestic Product. But the financial
   services sector also plays a large indirect role in national economies.
   The financial sector mobilizes savings and allocates credit across space
   and time, and enables firms and households to cope with uncertainties by
   hedging, pooling, sharing and pricing risks. This ultimately improves
   the quantity and quality of real investments and increases income per
   capita and raises standards of living. Today financial institutions are
   experiencing unprecedented change in a competitive global environment.
   The existing model of the financial system of Kazakhstan requires
   modernization in order to increase the possibilities to finance
   strategically important areas in the economy and society. In turn, the
   state should change its policy of active financing to the policy of
   active stimulation.
   The purpose of writing this article and making research was to justify a
   model of an investment and financial system with a financial center,
   capable for the formation of a knowledge-based economy and the creation
   of an infrastructure of intellectual modernization of society. We
   highlighted the existing conceptual approaches to the financial support
   of a knowledge-based economy and social and intellectual modernization
   of society in the article. The analysis of the banking and insurance
   sectors of the economy, the insurance market and the stock market was
   carried out, and the positive aspects and advantages of creating a
   financial center - AIFC were highlighted. In addition, the work revealed
   the peculiarities of the participation of the financial system of
   Kazakhstan in the development of knowledge-intensive sectors of the
   economy and the intellectual renewal of society, and also highlighted
   the factors and conditions for restarting the financial system of
   Kazakhstan and determining the model of investment and financial system.
   The world experience in the use of tools and methods for financing
   high-tech industries has been studied, which made it possible to
   determine the general principles for financing a knowledge-intensive
   economy.},

Title = {The impact of synchronous hybrid instruction on students engagement in a
   pharmacotherapy course},
Journal = {PHARMACY PRACTICE-GRANADA},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {20},
Number = {1},
Month = {JAN-MAR},
Abstract = {Background: Background: Synchronous hybrid instruction offers flexible
   learning opportunities by allowing a portion of students to attend class
   sessions on campus while simultaneously allowing the remaining students
   to attend remotely. Although such flexibility may offer a number of
   advantages for pharmacy students, one area of concern is whether online
   participation options within synchronous hybrid courses can promote
   similar levels of engagement as courses that are designed entirely for
   face-to-face (FTF) participation. Objectives: The objective of this
   study was to evaluate the impact of synchronous hybrid instruction on
   pharmacy students' engagement in a pharmacotherapy course. An evaluation
   was completed to determine if students were more likely to actively
   engage in class when they were participating remotely via
   teleconferencing technology or when FTF. Additionally, students'
   perspectives were evaluated to determine their views of the benefits and
   challenges of the hybrid model for engagement in learning. Methods: The
   course utilizes team-based learning to apply critical thinking skills
   and develop a comprehensive care plan. A mixed methods approach was used
   to examine students' engagement in the hybrid learning environment by
   quantitatively analyzing students' responses to likert-scale survey
   items and qualitatively analyzing their responses to open-ended survey
   questions. Results: Students reported they were more likely to actively
   listen (p=0.004), avoid distractions (p=0.008), and react emotionally to
   a topic or instruction (p=0.045) when FTF. There were no significant
   differences found in student reported note taking, asking questions,
   responding to questions, or engaging in group work between the two modes
   of participation. Content analysis identified other benefits that
   supported student engagement, including perceived flexibility and
   enhanced ability to interact during class via the teleconferencing
   technology. For some students, challenges that negatively impacted
   engagement included difficulties with internet connectivity and a sense
   of dislocation or isolation in the course. Conclusion: This study
   demonstrated that when participating in a synchronous hybrid course,
   students participating remotely were less likely (compared to in-person
   attendance) to pay close attention and react emotionally, but were just
   as likely to take notes and communicate with teachers and groups. Key
   benefits of the hybrid approach were increased flexibility and the
   usefulness of online communication tools, while key challenges focused
   on technical and psychological isolation from others. The principles of
   flexible learning environments and self-regulated learning provide
   opportunities for pharmacy educators who are interested in improving
   hybrid instruction in the future.},

Title = {Health care providers? preparedness and health care protection against
   the third wave of COVID-19 pandemics in a resource-limited setting in
   Southwest Ethiopia: a multi-center cross-sectional study},
Journal = {PAN AFRICAN MEDICAL JOURNAL},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {44},
Month = {JAN 26},
Abstract = {Introduction: the provision of quality health care during the COVID-19
   pandemic depends largely on the health of health care providers. Health
   care providers' as frontline caregivers dealing with infected patients
   play a significant role in limiting the outbreak of the disease by
   implementing safety and prevention practices. However, low and middle
   -income countries experience barriers to preparedness due to limited
   resources. Methods: an institutional-based cross-sectional study was
   conducted among 326 health care providers' from August 10-25, 2021 in
   Gurage zonal public hospitals. A simple random sampling technique was
   used to select the study participants. A pretested self-administered
   structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The data
   were entered into the Epi-data 3.1 and exported to Statistical package
   for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 for analysis. Both
   descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were presented.
   Results: this study showed that 53.1\%, of health care providers', had
   adequate preparation against COVID-19 pandemics. The finding showed that
   monthly income, occupation, and working experience were found to be
   significantly associated with health care providers' preparedness.
   Nearly one-quarter (24.8\%), 28.3\%, 34.5\%, and 39.8\% of health care
   providers had access to facemasks, alcohol sanitizer, glove, and
   isolation gowns respectively. Conclusion: the levels of health care
   providers' preparedness and health care protection against the third
   wave COVID-19 pandemic were found to be low. Based on our findings, the
   government and other stakeholders should design interventions to
   increase health care providers' preparedness to respond to the ongoing
   pandemic and purchase an adequate supply of personal protective
   equipment to protect the health care providers.},

Abstract = {Objective Understanding the determinants of adolescent pregnancy and how
   they have changed over time is essential for measuring progress and
   developing strategies to improve adolescent reproductive health. This
   study examined changes over time in the prevalence and determinants of
   adolescent pregnancy in Ghana.
   Methods A total of 11 nationally representative surveys from the Ghana
   Demographic and Health Survey (1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, 2014),
   Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (2006, 2011, 2017-2018) and Malaria
   Indicator Survey (2016 and 2019) provided data on 14556 adolescent girls
   aged 15-19 for this analysis. A random-effect meta-analysis, time trends
   and multivariable logistic regression models were used to track the
   prevalence and determinants of adolescent pregnancy.
   Results The pooled prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in Ghana was
   15.4\% (95\% CI=13.49\% to 17.30\%). Rural areas (19.5\%) had a higher
   prevalence of adolescent pregnancy than urban areas (10.6\%). In the
   overall sample, middle adolescents (15-17 years) (aOR=0.30, 95\% CI=0.23
   to 0.39), adolescents in urban areas (aOR=0.56, 95\% CI=0.43 to 0.74),
   large households (aOR=0.62, 95\% CI=0.49 to 0.78), not working
   (aOR=0.62, 95\% CI=0.43 to 0.90) and those unaware of contraceptive
   methods (aOR=0.49, 95\% CI=0.27 to 0.90) were less likely to become
   pregnant. Adolescents from middle-income (aOR=0.91, 95\% CI=0.67 to
   1.24) or high-income (aOR=0.59, 95\%CI=0.36 to 0.94) households, those
   who were semiliterate (aOR=0.56, 95\%CI=0.39 to 0.82) or literate
   (aOR=0.28, 95\%CI=0.21 to 0.37) and those with fewer previous sex
   partners were less likely to become pregnant. Not all determinants in
   the overall sample were consistently associated with adolescent
   pregnancy in the last three decades. Between 1988 and 1998, determinants
   of adolescent pregnancy were age, literacy, employment, household size
   and whether the mother was alive. Between 2003 and 2008, age, literacy,
   household size, income, age of last sexual partner, number of previous
   partners and contraception knowledge determined adolescent pregnancy.
   From 2011 to 2019, age, residence, literacy and menstrual cycle
   knowledge were determinants of adolescent pregnancy.
   Conclusion Interventions and policies to prevent adolescent pregnancy
   should prioritise adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds.},

   qualitative study},
Journal = {BMC PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {22},

Abstract = {Background Maternal morbidity and mortality related to infection is an
   international public health concern, but detection and assessment is
   often difficult as part of routine maternity care in many low- and
   middle-income countries due to lack of easily accessible diagnostics.
   Front-line healthcare providers are key for the early identification and
   management of the unwell woman who may have infection. We sought to
   investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the use of
   screening tools to detect infectious maternal morbidity during and after
   pregnancy as part of routine antenatal and postnatal care. Enabling
   factors, barriers, and potential management options for the use of early
   warning scores were explored. Methods Key informant interviews (n = 10)
   and two focus group discussions (n = 14) were conducted with healthcare
   providers and managers (total = 24) working in one large tertiary public
   hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. Transcribed interviews were coded by topic
   and then grouped into categories. Thematic framework analysis was
   undertaken to identify emerging themes. Results Most healthcare
   providers are aware of the importance of the early detection of
   infection and would seek to better identify women with infection if
   resources were available to do so. In current practice, an early warning
   score was used in the high dependency unit only. Routine screening was
   not in place in the antenatal or postnatal departments. Barriers to
   implementing routine screening included lack of trained staff and time,
   lack of thermometers, and difficulties with the interpretation of the
   early warning scores. A locally adapted early warning screening tool was
   considered an enabler to implementing routine screening for infectious
   morbidity. Local ownership and clinical leadership were considered
   essential for successful and sustainable implementation for clinical
   change. Conclusions Although healthcare providers considered infection
   during and after pregnancy and childbirth a danger sign and significant
   morbidity, standardised screening for infectious maternal morbidity was
   not part of routine antenatal or postnatal care. The establishment of
   such a service requires the availability of free and easy to access
   rapid diagnostic testing, training in interpretation of results, as well
   as affordable targeted treatment. The implementation of early warning
   scores and processes developed in high-income countries need careful
   consideration and validation when applied to women accessing care in low
   resource settings.},

Title = {Barriers inhibiting effective detection and management of postpartum

   qualitative study using a behavioral science lens},
Journal = {BMC PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {21},

Month = {APR 22},
Abstract = {Background Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal
   mortality in low-income countries, and is the most common direct cause
   of maternal deaths in Madagascar. Studies in Madagascar and other
   low-income countries observe low provider adherence to recommended
   practices for PPH prevention and treatment. Our study addresses gaps in
   the literature by applying a behavioral science lens to identify
   barriers inhibiting facility-based providers' consistent following of
   PPH best practices in Madagascar. Methods In June 2019, we undertook a
   cross-sectional qualitative research study in peri-urban and rural areas
   of the Vatovavy-Fitovinany region of Madagascar. We conducted 47
   in-depth interviews in 19 facilities and five communities, with
   facility-based healthcare providers, postpartum women, medical
   supervisors, community health volunteers, and traditional birth
   attendants, and conducted thematic analysis of the transcripts. Results
   We identified seven key behavioral insights representing a range of
   factors that may contribute to delays in appropriate PPH management in
   these settings. Findings suggest providers' perceived low risk of PPH
   may influence their compliance with best practices, subconsciously or
   explicitly, and lead them to undervalue the importance of PPH prevention
   and monitoring measures. Providers lack clear feedback on specific
   components of their performance, which ultimately inhibits continuous
   improvement of compliance with best practices. Providers demonstrate
   great resourcefulness while operating in a challenging context with
   limited equipment, supplies, and support; however, overcoming these
   challenges remains their foremost concern. This response to chronic
   scarcity is cognitively taxing and may ultimately affect clinical
   decision-making. Conclusions Our study reveals how perception of low
   risk of PPH, limited feedback on compliance with best practices and
   consequences of current practices, and a context of scarcity may
   negatively affect provider decision-making and clinical practices.
   Behaviorally informed interventions, designed for specific contexts that
   care providers operate in, can help improve quality of care and health
   outcomes for women in labor and childbirth.},

Title = {MEDUCATE trial: effectiveness of an intensive EDUCATional intervention
   for IT-mediated MEDication management in the outpatient clinic - study
   protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial},
Journal = {TRIALS},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {16},
Month = {MAY 22},
Abstract = {Background: Using information technology for medication management is an
   opportunity to help physicians to improve the quality of their
   documentation and communication and ultimately to improve patient care
   and patient safety. Physician education is necessary to take full
   advantage of information technology systems. In this trial, we seek to
   determine the effectiveness of an intensive educational intervention
   compared with the standard approach in improving information
   technology-mediated medication management and in reducing potential
   adverse drug events in the outpatient clinic.
   Methods/Design: We are conducting a multicenter, cluster randomized
   controlled trial. The participants are specialists and residents working
   in the outpatient clinic of internal medicine, cardiology, pulmonology,
   geriatrics, gastroenterology and rheumatology. The intensive educational
   intervention is composed of a small-group session and e-learning. The
   primary outcome is discrepancies between registered medication (by
   physicians) and actually used medication (by patients). The key
   secondary outcomes are potential adverse events caused by missed
   drug-drug interactions. The primary and key secondary endpoints are
   being assessed shortly after the educational intervention is completed.
   Sample size will be calculated to ensure sufficient power. A sample size
   of 40 physicians per group and 20 patients per physician will ensure a
   power of >90 \%, which means we will need a total of 80 physicians and
   1,600 patients.
   Discussion: We performed an exploratory trial wherein we tested the
   recruitment process, e-learning, time schedule, and methods for data
   collection, data management and data analysis. Accordingly, we refined
   the processes and content: the recruitment strategy was intensified,
   extra measures were taken to facilitate smooth conductance of the
   e-learning and parts were made optional. First versions of the
   procedures for data collection were determined. Data entry and analysis
   was further standardized by using the G-standard database in the
   telephone questionnaire.},

Title = {Strategies for Sustaining and Developing Paddy Farming in the Saga
   Plain, Southwestern Japan},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY-CHIGAKU ZASSHI},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {128},
Number = {2, SI},
Pages = {209-233},
Abstract = {Traditional agricultural practice in the Saga plain was formerly a
   combination of paddy rice, which was the main crop, and wheat/barley,
   which was the secondary crop. However, when production adjustments to
   paddy rice started in the 1970s, the original agricultural practice was
   changed to a combination of paddy rice and a rotating crop of soybeans
   along with a secondary crop of wheat/barley. Further, since the 1970s,
   issues such as competition between agricultural land use and urban land
   use, income disparity between agricultural and non-agricultural
   employment, and a shortage of farming successors became serious, which
   in turn caused great difficulty in sustaining agriculture and farmland.
   Under such circumstances, farmers in the Saga plain started to develop
   rural community-based farming as a strategy to sustain agriculture and
   farmland, as well as to manage the harvesting and drying process of
   rice, wheat/barley, and soybean collaboratively. Consequently, the block
   rotation system of cultivating paddy rice and soybeans together with
   shared use of rice planting and harvesting machines progressed and
   agriculture and farmland that combined rice, wheat/barley, and soybeans
   in the region tended to survive. On the other hand, due to a lack of
   leadership, community cohesion, and full-time farmers, some rural
   community-based farms began to be converted into agricultural
   corporations as another strategy. This strategy was encouraged by a new
   national agricultural policy. There were also farmers who did not
   participate in rural community-based farming, and many of them were
   full-time farmers who functioned as certified farmers. Such full-time
   farmers have expanded the scale of managing arable land by purchasing
   and leasing farmland (paddy field) from part-time farmers, both inside
   and outside the region, with the intention of securing successors to
   carry on agriculture. Thus, large-scale rice farmers gradually
   amalgamated the paddy fields of part-time farmers and expanded the scale
   of agricultural management. There were two types of large-scale
   farmer-farmers maintaining relationships with rural community-based
   farming and agricultural cooperatives such as JA, and independent
   farmers who had a tendency to become agricultural corporations. The
   decision to become an agricultural corporation was largely influenced by
   several key factors including the existence of a successor to continue
   farming, managerial skills of business operators, and the level of the
   family workforce of farmers. In other words, as a result of securing
   successors, large-scale rice farmers could start businesses such as
   drying preparation facilities, and build their own sales networks.
   Further, in order to control substantial production costs, the family
   workforce was used for production, processing, clerical work, and sales
   promotions. As a result, agriculture in the Saga plain was supported by
   rural community-based farming, independent large-scale paddy farmers,
   and large-scale paddy farmers incorporated into agricultural
   organizations, and these divisions of the management strategy were based
   on the degree of agricultural labor and community bonding forces. A
   series of distinctive strategies largely contributed to the survival and
   development of agriculture and farmland in the Saga plain.},

Title = {The BCG Vaccine for COVID-19: First Verdict and Future Directions},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {12},
Month = {MAR 8},
Abstract = {Despite of the rapid development of the vaccines against the severe
   acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it will take
   several months to have enough doses and the proper infrastructure to
   vaccinate a good proportion of the world population. In this interim,
   the accessibility to the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) may mitigate the
   pandemic impact in some countries and the BCG vaccine offers significant
   advantages and flexibility in the way clinical vaccines are
   administered. BCG vaccination is a highly cost-effective intervention
   against tuberculosis (TB) and many low-and lower-middle-income countries
   would likely have the infrastructure, and health care personnel
   sufficiently familiar with the conventional TB vaccine to mount
   full-scale efforts to administer novel BCG-based vaccine for COVID-19.
   This suggests the potential for BCG to overcome future barriers to
   vaccine roll-out in the countries where health systems are fragile and
   where the effects of this new coronavirus could be catastrophic. Many
   studies have reported cross-protective effects of the BCG vaccine toward
   non-tuberculosis related diseases. Mechanistically, this
   cross-protective effect of the BCG vaccine can be explained, in part, by
   trained immunity, a recently discovered program of innate immune memory,
   which is characterized by non-permanent epigenetic reprogramming of
   macrophages that leads to increased inflammatory cytokine production and
   consequently potent immune responses. In this review, we summarize
   recent work highlighting the potential use of BCG for the treatment
   respiratory infectious diseases and ongoing SARS-CoV-2 clinical trials.
   In situations where no other specific prophylactic tools are available,
   the BCG vaccine could be used as a potential adjuvant, to decrease
   sickness of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or to mitigate the effects of
   concurrent respiratory infections.},

Title = {Construction of modular teaching system of human resource management
   specialty},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING EDUCATION},
Year = {2021},
Month = {2021 APR 22},
Abstract = {With the development of economy, society and science and technology, the
   disadvantages of the traditional ``subject based{''} curriculum system
   construction mode are increasingly apparent. Graduates go to the
   society, what they learn is not what they use. There is a phenomenon
   that education and employment deviate from each other. Even if they have
   a job, they have to learn again, which requires a longer adaptation
   period. According to the skills and abilities that human resource
   management (HRM) students may enter into after graduation, a targeted
   modular teaching system is constructed. The modular teaching system can
   carry out customized learning in advance according to the students' work
   goals, and grasp the required employability in advance. At the same
   time, the reform of the system also enriches the teaching methods of
   teachers. Through the questionnaire and experimental test, this paper
   finds that: modular teaching breaks the traditional curriculum design
   method under the framework of the discipline theoretical system, aims to
   cultivate students' professional ability, improve their adaptability to
   the job, and further enhance their practical employability. Experimental
   results: the relationship between the quality characteristics and
   academic performance of HRM students was verified, and the relationship
   between them and the influence model of causality were clarified. The
   results of the two classes are similar in the pre-test; and from the
   back results, we can see that the scores of the experimental class after
   the use of modular teaching are significantly improved, while the
   comparison class is not significantly improved compared with before the
   experiment, which fully shows that the implementation of modular
   teaching can help students improve their comprehensive performance. The
   path coefficient of growth driven to academic performance is 0.428, the
   path coefficient of learning development to academic performance is
   0.122, and interpersonal skills affect academic performance indirectly.
   It fully verifies the relationship between the quality characteristic
   model and academic performance, and shows that the quality
   characteristic model constructed is relatively perfect and can be used
   as a reference for students' evaluation.},

Title = {Recruitment and retention of low-income minority women in a behavioral
   intervention to reduce smoking, depression, and intimate partner
   violence during pregnancy},
Journal = {BMC PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2007},
Volume = {7},
Month = {SEP 6},
Abstract = {Background: Researchers have frequently encountered difficulties in the
   recruitment and retention of minorities resulting in their
   under-representation in clinical trials. This report describes the
   successful strategies of recruitment and retention of African Americans
   and Latinos in a randomized clinical trial to reduce smoking, depression
   and intimate partner violence during pregnancy. Socio-demographic
   characteristics and risk profiles of retained vs. non-retained women and
   lost to follow-up vs. dropped-out women are presented. In addition,
   subgroups of pregnant women who are less ( more) likely to be retained
   are identified.
   Methods: Pregnant African American women and Latinas who were
   Washington, DC residents, aged 18 years or more, and of 28 weeks
   gestational age or less were recruited at six prenatal care clinics.
   Potentially eligible women were screened for socio-demographic
   eligibility and the presence of the selected behavioral and
   psychological risks using an Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview.
   Eligible women who consented to participate completed a baseline
   telephone evaluation after which they were enrolled in the study and
   randomly assigned to either the intervention or the usual care group.
   Results: Of the 1,398 eligible women, 1,191 (85\%) agreed to participate
   in the study. Of the 1,191 women agreeing to participate, 1,070
   completed the baseline evaluation and were enrolled in the study and
   randomized, for a recruitment rate of 90\%. Of those enrolled, 1,044
   were African American women. A total of 849 women completed the study,
   for a retention rate of 79\%. Five percent dropped out and 12\% were
   lost-to-follow up. Women retained in the study and those not retained
   were not statistically different with regard to socio-demographic
   characteristics and the targeted risks. Retention strategies included
   financial and other incentives, regular updates of contact information
   which was tracked and monitored by a computerized data management system
   available to all project staff, and attention to cultural competence
   with implementation of study procedures by appropriately selected,
   trained, and supervised staff. Single, less educated, alcohol and drug
   users, non-working, and non-WIC women represent minority women with
   expected low retention rates.
   Conclusion: We conclude that with targeted recruitment and retention
   strategies, minority women will participate at high rates in behavioral
   clinical trials. We also found that women who drop out are different
   from women who are lost to follow-up, and require different strategies
   to optimize their completion of the study.},

Title = {Preventive Digital Mental Health for Children in Primary Schools:
   Acceptability and Feasibility Study},
Journal = {JMIR FORMATIVE RESEARCH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {5},

Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Background: The incidence of mental health problems in children and
   adolescents in the United Kingdom has significantly increased in recent
   years, and more people are in contact with mental health services in
   Greater Manchester than in other parts of the country. Children and
   young people spend most of their time at school and with teachers.
   Therefore, schools and other educational settings may be ideal
   environments in which to identify those experiencing or those at the
   risk of developing psychological symptoms and provide timely support for
   children most at risk of mental health or related problems.
   Objective: This study aims to test the feasibility of embedding a
   low-cost, scalable, and innovative digital mental health intervention in
   schools in the Greater Manchester area.
   Methods: Two components of a 6-week digital intervention were
   implemented in a primary school in Greater Manchester: Lexplore, a
   reading assessment using eye-tracking technology to assess reading
   ability and detect early atypicality, and Lincus, a digital support and
   well-being monitoring platform.
   Results: Of the 115 children approached, 34 (29.6\%) consented and took
   part; of these 34 children, all 34 (100\%) completed the baseline
   Lexplore assessment, and 30 (88\%) completed the follow-up. In addition,
   most children were classified by Lincus as regular (>= 1 per week)
   survey users. Overall, the teaching staff and children found both
   components of the digital intervention engaging, usable, feasible, and
   acceptable. Despite the widespread enthusiasm and recognition of the
   potential added value from staff, we met significant implementation
   barriers.
   Conclusions: This study explored the acceptability and feasibility of a
   digital mental health intervention for schoolchildren. Further work is
   needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital intervention and to
   understand whether the assessment of reading atypicality using Lexplore
   can identify those who require additional help and whether they can also
   be supported by Lincus. This study provides high-quality pilot data and
   highlights the potential benefits of implementing digital assessment and
   mental health support tools in a primary school setting.},

Title = {Challenges and opportunities in establishing a collaborative multisite
   observational study of chronic diseases and lifestyle factors among
   adults in Puerto Rico},
Journal = {BMC PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {17},
Month = {JAN 31},
Abstract = {Background: Prevalence of chronic diseases and unhealthy lifestyle
   behaviors among the adult population of Puerto Rico (PR) is high;
   however, few epidemiological studies have been conducted to address
   these. We aimed to document the methods and operation of establishing a
   multisite cross-sectional study of chronic diseases and risk factors in
   PR, in partnership with academic, community, clinical, and research
   institutions.
   Methods: The Puerto Rico Assessment of Diet, Lifestyle and Diseases
   (PRADLAD) documented lifestyle and health characteristics of adults
   living in PR, with the goal of informing future epidemiological and
   intervention projects, as well as public health, policy, and clinical
   efforts to help improve the population's health. The study was conducted
   in three primary care clinics in the San Juan, PR metropolitan area.
   Eligible volunteers were 30-75y, living in PR for at least 10 months of
   the previous year, and able to answer interviewer-administered
   questionnaires without assistance. Questions were recorded
   electronically by trained interviewers, and included socio-demographic
   characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, self-reported medically-diagnosed
   diseases, and psychosocial factors. Waist and hip circumferences were
   measured following standardized protocols. A subset of participants
   answered a validated food frequency questionnaire, a legumes
   questionnaire, and had medical record data abstracted. Process and
   outcome evaluation indicators were assessed.
   Results: The study screened 403 participants in 5 months. Of these, 396
   (98\%) were eligible and 380 (94\%) had reliable and complete
   information. A subset of 242 participants had valid dietary data, and
   236 had medical record data. The mean time to complete an interview was
   1.5 h. Participants were generally cooperative and research
   collaborators were fully engaged. Having multiple sites helped enhance
   recruitment and sociodemographic representation. Diagnosed conditions
   were prevalent across sites. Challenges in data monitoring, interviewer
   training, and scheduling were identified and corrected, and should be
   addressed in future studies.
   Conclusions: Epidemiological studies in PR can be successfully

   recruitment and implementation requires concerted planning and continued

Title = {Newborn care practices among slum dwellers in Dhaka, Bangladesh: a
   quantitative and qualitative exploratory study},
Journal = {BMC PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {9},
Abstract = {Background: Urbanization is occurring at a rapid pace, especially in
   low-income countries. Dhaka, Bangladesh, is estimated to grow to 50
   million by 2015, with 21 million living in urban slums. Although health
   services are available, neonatal mortality is higher in slum areas than
   in urban non-slum areas. The Manoshi program works to improve maternal,
   newborn, and child health in urban slums in Bangladesh. This paper
   describes newborn care practices in urban slums in Dhaka and provides
   program recommendations.
   Methods: A quantitative baseline survey was conducted in six urban slum
   areas to measure newborn care practices among recently delivered women
   (n = 1,256). Thirty-six in-depth semi-structured interviews were
   conducted to explore newborn care practices among currently pregnant
   women (n = 18) and women who had at least one delivery (n = 18).
   Results: In the baseline survey, the majority of women gave birth at
   home (84\%). Most women reported having knowledge about drying the baby
   (64\%), wrapping the baby after birth (59\%), and cord care (46\%). In
   the in-depth interviews, almost all women reported using sterilized
   instruments to cut the cord. Babies are typically bathed soon after
   birth to purify them from the birth process. There was extensive care
   given to the umbilical cord including massage and/or applying
   substances, as well as a variety of practices to keep the baby warm.
   Exclusive breastfeeding was rare; most women reported first giving their
   babies sweet water, honey and/or other foods.
   Conclusion: These reported newborn care practices are similar to those
   in rural areas of Bangladesh and to urban and rural areas in the South
   Asia region. There are several program implications. Educational
   messages to promote providing newborn care immediately after birth,
   using sterile thread, delaying bathing, and ensuring dry cord care and
   exclusive breastfeeding are needed. Programs in urban slum areas should
   also consider interventions to improve social support for women,
   especially first time mothers. These interventions may improve newborn
   survival and help achieve MDG4.},

Title = {Small and medium enterprises in Slovakia focusing on tourism},
Journal = {EKONOMICKY CASOPIS},
Year = {2001},
Volume = {49},
Number = {6},
Pages = {1173-1196},
Abstract = {The small and medium enterprise (SME) development is one of the assumes
   of favourable economic development in SR. It belongs, along with
   reclassification of the Slovak economy, to its main priorities. Despite
   favourable trends, the SME share of the most important indexes has been
   lower than in the EU countries. Due to barrier elimination on macro- and
   micro level, as well as, a significant state support and an effective
   support of the European Union and in context with other countries in the
   Middle and Eastern Europe, we can expect convergence towards the target
   values of SME in EU, considering this as a whole, as well as, within
   particular sector-branch segments of SME.
   Small and medium entrepreneurs achieve 51\% of the GDP formation, over
   62 employment share and 45\% export share, however, SME in Slovakia have
   got many reserves despite the relatively good shares.
   The SME are worth in difficult conditions of a new economy too,
   supposing they are markedly active and the state creates adequate
   business environment for them. They cannot stagnate in the new economy.
   They can follow one of two strategies: offensive or defensive, where
   both of them have got their strengths.
   The SME support in the Slovak conditions is very actual. Revaluation of
   the present forms of the SME support leads to the need of redirection
   from the tools bringing only a short-term effect towards the use of
   long-term character tools with a striking motivational effect. We should
   consider SME in Slovakia from its perspective effect point of view
   within the united European market too.
   Identification of SME in Slovakia, as well as, in other countries, can
   be done by comparison with analogue SME partners in other countries
   which are interesting for us from a particular point of view. These are
   the countries of Middle and Eastern Europe and some developed countries
   (EU). But the simple fact faces big barriers related to the ``soft{''}
   market environment which is the result of present reform economic
   processes and their interpretation, as well as, with different objective
   index contents. The most of the legislative barriers within SME are
   represented by increased financial duties of the entrepreneurs which
   often have got a de-motivational character. It is necessary to support
   the creditor legal status, to apply the right of lien, to recover the
   capital market, to gain foreign investments, to support SME, to make the
   interest rates real and to reduce the tax duties of the entrepreneurs.
   The business environment problems mentioned above refer to tourism too,
   despite it has got its strengths, as follows: dynamics, low investment
   and import intensity (three times lower in tourism than in industry), a
   high share of direct labor there functions as the tool of unemployment
   reduction and the region development, minimized dead assets, exchange
   effect for the country etc. We can expect the principal changes after
   realization of the measures, as follows: working-out the Tourism
   Development Program for the sake of the region development, Tourism Fund
   formation, working-out and approval of the tourism legislative support,
   significant financial advertising support etc.
   The business success or failure reflects the financial situation of an
   enterprise in tourism. Thus the managers, as well as, the external
   subjects can discover many strengths or weaknesses of the enterprise,
   their causes and reasons by the analysis of the business financial
   situation,. of the company and, upon this, to make decisions or accept
   proper arrangements.
   We cannot be satisfied with the development results and trends of
   particular financial indexes in the analyzed tourism enterprises-travel
   agencies, hotels and restaurants in Slovakia. The failure of the
   financial health is seen in a low profitability, often negative,
   relatively low liquidity, high indebtedness and long liability maturity
   periods. The short-term resources of the net operating capital are
   missing and the long-term financial resources formation is complicated
   too. Prevention can be found by respecting the need of the financial
   planning, within the flow management of the company and by change of the
   approach of the financial managers towards the formation of the
   financial resources of the company capital.},

Title = {The influence of corruption and governance in the delivery of frontline
   health care services in the public sector: a scoping review of current
   and future prospects in low and middle-income countries of south and
   south-east Asia},
Journal = {BMC PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {20},
Number = {1},
Month = {JUN 8},
Abstract = {Background The dynamic intersection of a pluralistic health system,
   large informal sector, and poor regulatory environment have provided
   conditions favourable for `corruption' in the LMICs of south and
   south-east Asia region. `Corruption' works to undermine the UHC goals of
   achieving equity, quality, and responsiveness including financial
   protection, especially while delivering frontline health care services.
   This scoping review examines current situation regarding health sector
   corruption at frontlines of service delivery in this region, related
   policy perspectives, and alternative strategies currently being tested
   to address this pervasive phenomenon. Methods A scoping review following
   the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis
   (PRISMA) was conducted, using three search engines i.e., PubMed, SCOPUS
   and Google Scholar. A total of 15 articles and documents on corruption
   and 18 on governance were selected for analysis. A PRISMA extension for
   Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was filled-in to complete this
   report. Data were extracted using a pre-designed template and analysed
   by `mixed studies review' method. Results Common types of corruption
   like informal payments, bribery and absenteeism identified in the review
   have largely financial factors as the underlying cause. Poor salary and
   benefits, poor incentives and motivation, and poor governance have a
   damaging impact on health outcomes and the quality of health care
   services. These result in high out-of-pocket expenditure, erosion of
   trust in the system, and reduced service utilization. Implementing
   regulations remain constrained not only due to lack of institutional
   capacity but also political commitment. Lack of good governance
   encourage frontline health care providers to bend the rules of law and
   make centrally designed anti-corruption measures largely in-effective.
   Alternatively, a few bottom-up community-engaged interventions have been
   tested showing promising results. The challenge is to scale up the
   successful ones for measurable impact. Conclusions Corruption and lack
   of good governance in these countries undermine the delivery of quality
   essential health care services in an equitable manner, make it costly
   for the poor and disadvantaged, and results in poor health outcomes.
   Traditional measures to combat corruption have largely been ineffective,
   necessitating the need for innovative thinking if UHC is to be achieved
   by 2030.},

Title = {Integration of a Digital Health Intervention Into Immunization Clinic
   Workflows in Kenya: Qualitative, Realist Evaluation of Technology
   Usability},
Journal = {JMIR FORMATIVE RESEARCH},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {7},
Abstract = {Background: In an effort to increase vaccination coverage in
   low-resource settings, digital tools have been introduced to better
   track immunization records, improve data management practices, and
   provide improved access to vaccination coverage data for
   decision-making. Despite the potential of these electronic systems to
   improve the provision of health services, few digital health
   interventions have been institutionalized at scale in low-and
   middle-income countries. Objective: In this paper, we aimed to describe
   how health care workers in Kenya had integrated an electronic
   immunization registry into their immunization clinic workflows and to
   use these findings to inform the development of a refined program theory
   on the registry's usability.Methods: Informed by realist methodology, we
   developed a program theory to explain usability of the electronic
   immunization registry. We designed a qualitative study based on our
   theory to describe the barriers and facilitators influencing data entry
   and use. Qualitative data were collected through semistructured
   interviews with users and workflow observations of immunization clinic
   sessions. Our findings were summarized by context-mechanism-outcome
   relationships formed after analyzing our key themes across interviews
   and workflow observations. Using these relationships, we were able to
   identify common rules for future implementers.Results: Across the 12
   facilities included in our study, 19 health care workers were
   interviewed, and 58 workflow sessions were observed. The common rules
   developed from our qualitative findings are as follows: rule 1-ensure
   that the users complete training to build familiarity with the system,
   understand the value of the system and data, and know where to find
   support; rule 2-confirm that the system captures all data needed for
   users to provide routine health care services and is easy to navigate;
   rule 3-identify work-arounds for poor network, system performance, and
   too few staff or resources; and rule 4-make users aware of expected
   changes to their workflow, and how these changes might differ over time
   and by facility size or number of patients. Upon study completion, we
   revised the program theory to reflect the importance of the goals and
   workflows of electronic immunization registries aligning with
   reality.Conclusions: We created a deeper understanding of the underlying
   mechanisms for usability of the registry. We found that the electronic
   immunization registry had high acceptability among users; however, there
   were numerous barriers to using the system, even under ideal conditions,
   causing a misalignment between the system and the reality of the users'
   workflows and their environment. Human-centered design and human-factors
   methods can assist during pilot stages to better align systems with
   users' needs and again after scale-up to ensure that interventions are
   suitable for all user settings.(JMIR Form Res 2023;7:e39775) doi:

Abstract = {Background: Project Access UK was designed to provide real-world
   observations on the status of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) of
   opioid dependence.
   Methods: 544 respondents from three groups (physicians, patients in MAT
   and out-of-treatment users) were interviewed or completed
   questionnaires.
   Results: Patient reasons for seeking treatment included ending their
   dependence and improving their health and well-being. Patients and users
   reported a mean of 4.0 versus 2.7 prior MAT episodes, but patient
   awareness of the main treatment options varied from 94\% for methadone
   to 46\% for buprenorphine-naloxone. Among patients, 49\% requested a
   specific medication (mostly methadone) and 78\% of requests were
   granted. Forty percent of patients were not currently receiving
   psychosocial or key-working support. Daily supervised dosing was most
   commonly cited as a condition of staying in treatment with the biggest
   impact on daily life (36\%). Among patients, 56\% continued to use
   illicit drugs on top of their MAT and few (7\%) were in employment. The
   majority of patients (56\%) and users (51\%) had been in prison (an
   average of 6.8 times).
   Conclusion: Patients are motivated to recover. However, the full range
   of evidence-based interventions are not fully utilised and many patients
   cycle repeatedly through periods of treatment, relapse and imprisonment.},

Abstract = {From the unique `Gurukula' style of teaching prevailed during the Vedic
   period, education as on date has evolved to the most modern concept of
   e-learning. The method of imparting knowledge through coexistence of
   teacher and students in ancient times has been transformed to such an
   extent where the direct physical interaction between students and
   teacher is not at all required. However, it is a fact that we are still
   accustomed to the traditional way of classroom teaching, memory checking
   tests, compulsory attendance etc. even in our post graduate level of
   technical education. Teaching pattern followed in high school level is
   followed in the same intensity even at engineering colleges. It is well
   known that science and mathematics are important tools of engineering
   programme but they are not themselves sufficient for one's success as an
   engineer. As world's dependence on technology is increasing
   tremendously, the need of the hour is to mould engineering graduates
   with adequate skills and will power required to explore and exploit the
   new opportunities of the world and thereby to contribute successfully
   towards the social and economic prosperity of our country. This paper
   makes a humble attempt to uncover the limitations of current engineering
   education and also tries to put forward some proactive measures to
   attain the desired results.
   It is a fact that the technological advancement we had made is not used
   up to the full potential in the field of education. The factors that
   restrain engineering colleges from doing so may be listed as financial
   constraints, lack of professionalism, method of `result-oriented'
   teaching rather than knowledge based teaching and shortage of skilled
   teaching manpower. Serious exploration of the following areas will be
   required to overcome some of the above deficiencies felt in the current
   engineering education:
   1. Thrust on Research \& Development
   2. Entrepreneurship development programmes
   3. Social informatics

   The judgement regarding the intellectual capability of technical
   professionals can be done on the basis of research work carried out in
   their respective countries. For every one lakh people, there are 150
   researchers in India while the same is 3800 in US. Number of patents per
   one million is approximated as one in India where as it is 289 in US.
   Today's engineers in the computer and IT field are well settled with
   their jobs after graduation. Due to the high salary and lucrative
   facilities offered by various IT companies, fields like research,
   teaching etc. are ignored by youth. One of the reasons for above
   backwardness is the lack of orientation given in the field of research
   during their graduation. A remarkable progress can surely be made if
   they are given motivation in pursuing career in the filed of research
   and teaching during their graduation. Availability of highly skilled and
   research-oriented teaching faculty is a necessity for inculcating the
   flair of research to fresh engineers. Thrust on research should be
   assured for assignments and project work carried out by the engineers
   during their course of study. Research-oriented learning makes our youth
   capable of out-of-the-box thinking and therefore innovative ideas will
   be generated even at student level. As a result, teaching faculty will
   also be equally benefited.
   Tomorrow's success is highly guaranteed for those engineering
   professionals who can address the entrepreneurial requirements and
   balance them with the specialized technological competencies. The skills
   and knowledge required to become a successful entrepreneur is not given
   due importance in the current engineering curriculum. Presently,
   entrepreneurship is taught only in business schools, but now the
   situation demands the same to be incorporated sufficiently in
   engineering curriculum. This will help an engineer to develop business
   skills along with technical skills so that opportunities can be
   efficiently transformed into workable business models.
   Social informatics relates to the interaction between society and
   information-communication technologies (ICT). Addition of social
   informatics to engineering curriculum will help IT professionals to
   increase their accountability in social, cultural, political,
   economical, legal and ethical areas where their technical competencies
   will be applied. The other advantage is the extension of learning
   process beyond the classroom to the society and developing a sense of
   caring for others.
   We are now blessed with the latest networking technologies like
   Internet, Intranet, Cloud computing, Wi-fi etc. It is with concern to
   mention that most of the engineering colleges had made use of the above
   technologies for improving their administrative efficiency and not for
   bettering academic efficiency of students. Educational institutions
   should embrace latest networking technologies in developing new learning
   platform. Since jobs become more and more insecure and mid life career
   changes are frequent, lifelong learning is becoming an essential
   requirement for engineering professionals. This situation can be
   effectively utilised by engineering colleges for conducting virtual
   classrooms for practising engineers that can yield financial advantage
   for teaching faculty and college as well.
   It is often said that engineering may be the only professional course
   largely taught by non-practitioners. Hence institute-industry interface,
   can very well compensate the missing link of industrial exposure.
   Industries today demand teamwork from fresh recruited engineers whereas
   teamwork is given less priority in the current engineering curriculum.
   Industry being the end user of engineering graduates, restructuring of
   the curriculum in line with industrial demands may also be tried out.
   Adaptability to industrial environment is a main factor for the
   successful discharge of an engineer's responsibilities. Universities
   must recognise the fact that industry is their main client and hence
   students must be given ample opportunities to interact with industries.
   Industry-oriented learning for engineering students is almost like a
   `give and take policy' since both industries as well as students is
   equally benefited.
   India had made a remarkable progress in recent years especially in the
   service sector. Global community is well aware of our mettle in IT and
   BPO industries. The unique advantage we are having is the pool of
   skilled manpower, which we would need to grow consistently in order to
   sustain our competitive edge in current market scenario. Now we have to
   aim for an equilibrium in which we should focus equally on R\&D sector
   along with BPO. More than 200 companies listed in the fortune 500
   companies had already established their R\&D facilities in India. To
   accelerate India's growth as a hub for R\&D, availability of employable
   engineers with passion for research is utmost essential. This requires
   additional infrastructure and faculty requirement as well as radical
   changes in current technical education system. The stage is now set for
   industry experts, academia think tanks and top brass of government
   policy makers to review the existing engineering education and to
   initiate debate and discussions to enhance the quality of education. It
   is presumed that this paper will be an eye opener for the above purpose.
   This paper discusses the different challenges faced by the engineering
   education systems and suggestions based on various alternative
   strategies are discussed which can easily be incorporated into the
   engineering curricula; the introduction of which makes the system
   complete in all meaning.},

Title = {A Longitudinal Study of Medicaid Coverage for Tobacco Dependence
   Treatments in Massachusetts and Associated Decreases in Hospitalizations
   for Cardiovascular Disease},
Journal = {PLOS MEDICINE},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {7},
Number = {12},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Background: Insurance coverage of tobacco cessation medications
   increases their use and reduces smoking prevalence in a population.
   However, uncertainty about the impact of this coverage on health care
   utilization and costs is a barrier to the broader adoption of this
   policy, especially by publicly funded state Medicaid insurance programs.
   Whether a publicly funded tobacco cessation benefit leads to decreased
   medical claims for tobacco-related diseases has not been studied. We
   examined the experience of Massachusetts, whose Medicaid program adopted
   comprehensive coverage of tobacco cessation medications in July 2006.
   Over 75,000 Medicaid subscribers used the benefit in the first 2.5
   years. On the basis of earlier secondary survey work, it was estimated
   that smoking prevalence declined among subscribers by 10\% during this
   period.
   Methods and Findings: Using claims data, we compared the probability of
   hospitalization prior to use of the tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy
   benefit with the probability of hospitalization after benefit use among
   Massachusetts Medicaid beneficiaries, adjusting for demographics,
   comorbidities, seasonality, influenza cases, and the implementation of
   the statewide smoke-free air law using generalized estimating equations.
   Statistically significant annualized declines of 46\% (95\% confidence
   interval 2\%-70\%) and 49\% (95\% confidence interval 6\%-72\%) were
   observed in hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction and
   other acute coronary heart disease diagnoses, respectively. There were
   no significant decreases in hospitalizations rates for respiratory
   diagnoses or seven other diagnostic groups evaluated.
   Conclusions: Among Massachusetts Medicaid subscribers, use of a
   comprehensive tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy benefit was associated
   with a significant decrease in claims for hospitalizations for acute
   myocardial infarction and acute coronary heart disease, but no
   significant change in hospital claims for other diagnoses. For
   low-income smokers, removing the barriers to the use of smoking
   cessation pharmacotherapy has the potential to decrease short-term
   utilization of hospital services.},

Title = {International Relations from the decolonial feminisms. A dialogic
   approach to a decolonial feminist economy},
Journal = {RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES-MADRID},
Year = {2020},
Number = {44},
Pages = {147-164},
Month = {JUN-SEP},
Abstract = {Since the mid-twentieth century, the modern-colonial capitalist system
   has been consolidated by a Eurocentric logic that has aggravated the
   North-South gap. Thus the international economic relations that imposed
   the generation and racialization of labour were forged. In this sense,
   the assurance of the socio-economic rights of the working class of the
   Global North was the product of a process imbricated by the factors of
   modernity, (neo)colonialism and development. Therefore, the urgency of
   deconstructing the current ecocide and genocidal economic system is
   presented, for this new world order has profited from the
   overexploitation and death of thousands of women. This investigation
   implements a theoretical-methodological intersectional approach, that is
   to say, to understand the subordination of women there is a need to do
   so from a set of co-constitutional variables (gender, race, sexuality,
   spirituality, etc.) and from ``situated knowledges{''} as Donna Haraway
   puts it.This perspective allows us to go beyond gender oppression, for
   which it will be essential to actively listen to the experiences of
   other women who have been marginalized and excluded by hegemonic and
   Eurocentric feminisms, only considered as objects of study never as
   political subjects. This work is implicated in the will to study and
   move towards an alternative reading of international relations. For this
   purpose, it is my proposal to begin in the feminist margins of
   decolonial feminisms, from the ideas of thinkers who are characterized
   by not seeking a consensus but a conversation from difference. Regarding
   the structure, the first part of the article will present a critique of
   mainstream international relations discourse from a decolonial
   perspective.Thus, the aim is to prove through a critique of the
   hegemonic paradigm that international relations serves the interests of
   the Global North as a consequence of Eurocentric thinking. Subsequently,
   the relegation of reproductive work to women linked to the colonial
   process will be studied. Furthermore, it will seek to demonstrate the
   effects of the international economic system on the subalternized,
   racialized, and colonized lives of workers, refugees, or migrants. In
   relation to this issue, the study and review of historical factors is
   fundamental because international relations cannot be understood without
   studying history; that is, the creation of the current international
   economic system as a consequence of the construction of the
   international and sexual division of labour and the processes of
   colonization and racialization. In turn, the above study has as an
   objective to demonstrate that the care economy is the backbone of the
   functioning of the international economic system. In other words, if
   women - traditionally responsible for maintaining lives - went on
   general strike, the world economy would come to a standstill. Likewise,
   the violence caused by the modern/colonial capitalist system on the
   bodies of the subalternized will be analyzed. In this sense, the
   epistemologies of the South become essential for the study of the
   neocolonial North-South economic relations where violence against women
   plays a key role. Examples of this are free-trade zones, extractivism,
   or in the worst of the cases: wars. Finally, a dialogue between
   decolonial feminisms and the feminist economy is presented to rethink
   and justify welfare as a path towards the protection of planetary life.
   In short, the global context is a system that has ceded the baton to a
   model that makes it impossible to guarantee the care of lives as a
   consequence of a nature that is Eurocentric, racist, colonial,
   heteropatriarchal, ecocidal and so forth.The proposal to urge an
   alternative is justified through a crisis of a systemic nature which,
   despite attempts to blur its permanence, is still present through
   political and socio-economic conflicts. Thus, the Global North is
   suffering from a process leading to areas that were once part of the
   centre are now peripheral - as a consequence of the globalised crisis
   and increased by austerity policies.This consolidates a political,
   economic, ecological and ethical crisis, which forces us to question the
   direction in which we are navigating and how we will manage this
   process, even if this seems inevitable with respect to environmental
   degradation and being immersed in a context of social
   hyper-segmentation, where growing inequalities seem to be naturalized
   and at the same time legitimized. For this reason, this article aims to
   establish a dialogue between descolonial feminisms and feminist
   economics to seek a consensus for the creation of a feminist, subversive
   and common agenda. For this sort of reflection and questioning the
   presence of international relations becomes indispensable. From the
   beginning, this discipline should go hand in hand with the transition
   phase aimed at replacing capital with the care economy and
   sustainability of life as the epicentre of the system. This research
   seeks to outline the nonconformity of accepting that history has already
   been written against those who prevent us from dreaming of the change we
   want and believe in. But why now? The present moment is decisive. In the
   face of the threat to planetary life from a destructive economic system,
   it is more necessary than ever to participate in the creation of another
   paradigm of international relations through other knowledges.
   Undoubtedly, the image of the Amazon in flames is further proof of the
   urgency of initiating a transformation of the global political and
   socio-economic system. From where and for what purpose is knowledge
   produced? What role does the economy play within international
   relations? Who benefits and who is harmed by the globalized capitalist
   model? Where do women stand within the economic system? Which lives are
   worth living? Is it possible to initiate an alternative to capitalism
   from Europe? These questions are not posed with the aim of giving a
   definitive answer, but with the intention of provoking dialogue and
   reflection.That is to say, against the logic of the ethics of war, it is
   manifested to promote the transition of the current international
   economic system towards a new model for which it will be essential to
   initiate an analysis of international relations from feminist
   genealogies and from decolonial thought.},

Title = {Obstacles to implementation of an intervention to improve surgical
   services in an Ethiopian hospital: a qualitative study of an
   international health partnership project},
Journal = {BMC HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {16},
Month = {AUG 17},
Abstract = {Background: Access to safe surgical care represents a critical gap in
   healthcare delivery and development in many low-and middle-income
   countries, including Ethiopia. Quality improvement (QI) initiatives at
   hospital level may contribute to closing this gap. Many such quality
   improvement initiatives are carried out through international health
   partnerships. Better understanding of how to optimise quality
   improvement in low-income settings is needed, including through
   partnership-based approaches. Drawing on a process evaluation of an
   intervention to improve surgical services in an Ethiopian hospital, this
   paper offers lessons to help meet this need.
   Methods: We conducted a qualitative process evaluation of a quality
   improvement project which aimed to improve access to surgical services
   in an Ethiopian referral hospital through better management. Data was
   collected longitudinally and included: 66 in-depth interviews with
   surgical staff and project team members; observation (135 h) in the
   surgery department and of project meetings; project-related
   documentation. Thematic analysis, guided by theoretical constructs,
   focused on identifying obstacles to implementation.
   Results: The project largely failed to achieve its goals. Key barriers
   related to project design, partnership working and the implementation
   context, and included: confusion over project objectives and project and
   partner roles and responsibilities; logistical challenges concerning
   overseas visits; difficulties in communication; gaps between the time
   and authority team members had and that needed to implement and engage
   other staff; limited strategies for addressing adaptive-as opposed to
   technical-challenges; effects of hierarchy and resource scarcity on QI
   efforts. While many of the obstacles identified are common to diverse
   settings, our findings highlight ways in which some features of
   low-income country contexts amplify these common challenges.
   Conclusion: We identify lessons for optimising the design and planning
   of quality improvement interventions within such challenging healthcare
   contexts, with specific reference to international partnership-based
   approaches. These include: the need for a funded lead-in phase to
   clarify and agree goals, roles, mutual expectations and communication
   strategies; explicitly incorporating adaptive, as well as technical,
   solutions; transparent management of resources and opportunities;
   leadership which takes account of both formal and informal power
   structures; and articulating links between project goals and wider
   organisational interests.},

Abstract = {The common goal of surgical training is to provide effective,
   well-rounded surgeons who are capable of providing a safe and competent
   service that is relevant to the society within which they work. In
   recent years, the surgical workforce crisis has gained greater attention
   as a component of the global human resources in health problems in low-
   and middle-income countries. The purpose of this study was to: (1)
   describe the models for specialist surgical training in Uganda; (2)
   evaluate the pretraining experience of surgical trainees; (3) explore
   training models in the United States and Canada and areas of possible
   further inquiry and intervention for capacity-building efforts in
   surgery and perioperative care.
   This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at Makerere
   University, College of Health Sciences during 2011-2012. Participants
   were current and recently graduated surgical residents. Data were
   collected using a pretested structured questionnaire and were entered
   and analyzed using an excel Microsoft spread sheet. The Makerere
   University, College of Health Sciences Institutional Review Board
   approved the study.
   Of the 35 potential participants, 23 returned the questionnaires (65
   \%). Mean age of participants was 29 years with a male/female ratio of
   3:1. All worked predominantly in general district hospitals. Pretraining
   procedures performed numbered 2,125 per participant, which is twice that
   done by their US and Canadian counterparts during their entire 5-year
   training period.
   A rich pretraining experience exists in East Africa. This should be
   taken advantage of to enhance surgical specialist training at the
   institution and regional level.},

Abstract = {The Portuguese business structure is essentially composed of small and
   medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which, despite their size, generate
   employment and contribute to the increase of national income. In many of
   these companies, some of them having less than ten employees, management
   and operational functions are often carried out by the entrepreneur. In
   addition, the entrepreneur does not always have technical knowledge in
   management, nor do they have the available time (since they have various
   responsibilities within the company) to develop and implement a
   management strategy that allows the enterprise to remain in the market
   while adopting a more conscious, consistent and sustained orientation.
   Within the scope of the Operational Program for Competitiveness and
   Internationalization - Portugal 2020, the Balanced ScoreCard (BSC)
   strategic management instrument was developed and implemented in several
   companies and sectors of the Portuguese economy. This instrument was
   crucial in initiating a process of strategic thinking which, quite
   possibly, would not have happened in such a short time horizon. This
   research work analyses through an essentially qualitative research the
   way the BSC instrument was developed and implemented. Another objective
   is to understand the main advantages of its use and its main application
   constraints. The data was gathered through a semi-structured interview
   developed for the owners of four Portuguese SMEs in the northern region
   Portugal, targeted under the abovementioned programme framework. The
   results demonstrate the instrument was essential for the development of
   a structured strategic thinking, as well as for a better performance
   and, consequently, to the improvement of the competitiveness of the
   targeted companies. The results also show the instrument had to be
   adapted and simplified and its implementation has to involve all the
   employees of the enterprises.},

Title = {Statistically, Does peer assisted learning make a difference on a UK
   engineering degree programme? HETL Scotland 2017},

Abstract = {Purpose - Black British minority ethnics (BME) students are nationally
   underachieving in comparison to their Ethnic Chinese and White peers,
   showing typically a 16 per cent graduate attainment gap in the UK.
   Previous research has suggested that the attainment gap could be
   explained by BME student disengagement, as the students typically
   commute from family home to University, and they work part time.
   However, peer-assisted learning (PAL) has been shown to have a positive
   impact on addressing and resolving student alienation and disengagement.
   However, a question still remains regarding whether student perceptions
   hold up to statistical analysis when scrutinised in comparison to
   similar cohorts without PAL interventions. The paper aims to discuss
   these issues.
   Design/methodology/approach - This paper presents the results of a
   statistical study for two cohorts of students on engineering courses
   with a disproportionately high representation of BME students. The
   research method involved a statistical analysis of student records for
   the two cohorts to ascertain any effect of correlation between: PAL;
   student ethnicity; and student parental employment on student academic
   performance and placement attainment.
   Findings - The results indicate that PAL has no significant impact on
   the academic performance; however, PAL has a positive impact on the
   placement/internship attainment for BME students and students from
   parental households with parents in non-managerial/professional
   employment.
   Research limitations/implications - The research limitations are that
   the cohorts are small, but more equal diverse mix of different social
   categories than any other courses. However, as the cohorts are less than
   30 students, comparing social categories the data sets are small to have
   absolute confidence in the statistical results of academic performance.
   Even the t-test has its limitations as the subjects are human, and there
   are multiple personal factors that can impact an individual academic
   performance; therefore, the data sets are heterostatic.
   Practical implications - The results highlight that there is need for
   pedagogy interventions to support: ideally all BME students from all
   social categery to secure placements; BME students who are unable to go
   on placement to gain supplementary learning that has the same impact on
   their personal development and learning as placement/internship
   experience; and White students from managerial/professional family
   households to engage more in their studies.
   Social implications - Not addressing and providing appropriate pedagogy
   interventions, in the wider context not addressing/resolving the BME
   academic and placement attainment gap, a set of students are being
   disadvantaged to their peers through no fault of their own, and
   compounding their academic attainment. As academics we have a duty to
   provide every opportunity to develop our student attainment, and as
   student entry is generally homogeneous, all students should attain it.
   Originality/value - Previous research evaluation of PAL programmes has
   focused on quantitative students surveys and qualitative semi-structured
   research interviews with students on their student engagement and
   learning experience. On the other hand, this paper evaluates the
   intervention through conducting a quantitative statistical analysis of
   the student records to evaluate the impact of PAL on a cohort's
   performance on different social categories (classifications) and
   compares the results to a cohort of another group with a similar student
   profile, but without PAL intervention implementation.},

Title = {Are We Doing Enough to Stem the Tide of Acquired MDR-TB in Countries
   with High TB Burden? Results of a Mixed Method Study in Chongqing, China},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2014},

Abstract = {Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) represents a threat to health
   and development in countries with high TB burden. China's MDR-TB
   prevalence rate of 6.8\% is the highest in the world. Interventions to
   remove barriers against effective TB control, and prevention of MDR-TB
   are urgently needed in the country. This paper reports a cross-sectional
   questionnaire survey of 513 pulmonary TB (PTB) patients, and qualitative
   interviews of 10 healthcare workers (HCWs), and 15 PTB patients. The
   objective was to assess barriers against effective control of PTB and
   prevention of MDR-TB by elucidating the perspectives of patients and
   healthcare providers. Results showed that more than half of the patients
   experienced patient delay of over 12.5 days. A similar proportion also
   experienced detection delay of over 30 days, and delay in initiating
   treatment of over 31 days. Consulting a non-TB health facility >= 3
   times before seeking care at TB dispensary was a risk factor for both
   detection delay {[}AOR (95\% CI): 1.89(1.07, 3.34) and delay in
   initiating treatment{[}AOR (95\% CI): 1.88 (1.06, 3.36). Results
   revealed poor implementation of Directly Observed Therapy (DOT), whereby
   treatment of 34.3\% patients was never monitored by HCWs. Only 31.8\%
   patients had ever accessed TB health education before their TB
   diagnosis. Qualitative data consistently disclosed long patient delay,
   and indicated that patient's poor TB knowledge and socioeconomic
   barriers were primary reasons for patient delay. Seeking care and being
   treated at a non-TB hospital was an important reason for detection
   delay. Patient's long work hours and low income increased risk for
   treatment non-adherence. Evidence-based measures to improve TB health
   seeking behavior, reduce patient and detection delays, improve the
   quality of DOT, address financial and system barriers, and increase
   access to TB health promotion are urgently needed to address the
   burgeoning prevalence of MDR-TB in China.},

Abstract = {Purpose The study describes the design, implementation and evaluation of
   an employer-sponsored health screening program - Employee Health and
   Wellness Program (EHWP) - in an academic healthcare system in Pakistan.
   Design/methodology/approach One year after implementation, RE-AIM
   (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance)
   framework was used to evaluate and report participant- and
   organizational-level indicators of success. Findings Of the 5,286
   invited employees, 4,523 (86\%) completed blood work and 1809 (34\%)
   completed health risk assessment (reach). Of the 915 (51\%) who required
   referrals, 3\% were referred for new diagnoses of diabetes, hepatitis C
   or severe anemia; 63\% for elevated 10-year risk of cardiometabolic
   diseases (cardiovascular disease and diabetes); and 25\% for counseling
   for depression, obesity or smoking cessation (effectiveness). Employees'
   barriers to enrollment were explored (adoption). While institutional
   costs were considered nominal (USD 20/employee), organizational barriers
   were identified (implementation). Finally, 97\% of users reported
   interest in enrollment if EHWP was offered again (maintenance).
   Originality/value In a country with minimal focus on adult preventive
   care, the study reports the impact of an employer-offered wellness
   program that identified new risk factors and offered a referral for
   ongoing care. Employees reported a positive experience and were willing
   to re-enroll. Using the RE-AIM framework, the study has defined
   indicators in the real-world setting that can be used effectively by
   other institutions to start such a program.},

Abstract = {Postburn contracture is a source of significant morbidity in India, even
   though its occurrence can be reduced significantly by comprehensive
   postburn injury care, including surgical intervention. This study
   investigates whether limited access to initial medical care after burn
   injury has been associated with increased contracture formation among
   lower socioeconomic class patients in Mumbai, India. During a surgical
   mission in Mumbai, India, patients presenting with functionally
   debilitating burn contractures and minimal income were surveyed for
   initial care received immediately after burn injury. The survey
   consisted of questions regarding the history of burn injury and details
   of any initial treatment. Demographic data were collected by chart
   review. Thirty-eight patients from the state of Maharashtra participated
   in the study (mean age 28.1 years). The most common etiology of burn
   injury was from kerosene stove blasts (74\%), and the most common
   morbidities were contractures of the neck and upper extremity. On
   average, time elapsed since the original injury was 2.8 years. Nearly
   all patients sought initial medical care at hospitals (97\%) with the
   majority receiving only dressing changes for their full-thickness or
   deep-dermal burns (61\%). The most common reason for not seeking out
   delayed burn reconstruction was perceived cost (65\%). Ultimately, 60
   operations were performed, of which 9 (15\%) developed postsurgical
   complications. These data suggest that a subset of lower socioeconomic
   class burn patients in Maharashtra received suboptimal initial
   intervention. Comprehensive initial therapy after burn injury may
   provide better outcomes and limit the number of patients requiring
   delayed reconstruction. (J Burn Care Res 2012;33:e120-e126)},

Abstract = {BACKGROUND: Investing in continued medical education strengthens
   surgical systems. This study assessed the effectiveness of an
   evidence-based practice (EBP) tutorial and access to UpToDate (UTD) to
   improve EBP and understand how and why providers practice using
   evidence.STUDY DESIGN: This is a mixed-methods, implementation study at
   9 public hospitals in Peru consisting of a didactic session for surgeons
   on EBP and Google Translate and support of applications for UTD access.
   Change in clinical knowledge scores (CKS), access and use of UTD, and
   impact of language pre-and postintervention were measured. Qualitative
   interviews uncovered rea-sons for these changes.RESULTS: Intervention
   participants had lower CKS at follow-up compared with baseline (odds
   ratio {[}OR] of higher score 0.41 {[}0.18,0.98]; p = 0.044), and this
   effect was modified (p = 0.003) to the extent that the reverse was true
   for control participants (OR 2.30 {[}1.13,4.71]; p = 0.022).
   Participants with 1 to 20 years of experience had significantly improved
   CKS compared with students/residents (1 to 10 years: OR 4.5 {[}1.1,18];
   11 to 20 years: OR 4.9 {[}1.4,17]); there was no evidence of a different
   CKS between providers with > 20 years of experience compared with
   students/residents (OR 1.3 {[}0.5,3.7]). Administrative disconnect,
   usability, motivation, edu-cation, time, resources, and age influenced
   point-of-care medical information systems impact on knowledge and EBP.
   Participants reporting low English proficiency translated medical
   literature mostly used Google Translate. Those with low/no English
   reading proficiency had higher odds of reporting a negative impact on
   research than those with working (p = 0.007) or professional (p < 0.001)
   proficiency.CONCLUSIONS: Providing education on EBP, free UTD access,
   and translation solutions did not correlate with increased CKS due to
   complex barriers to using point-of-care medical information systems. (J

Title = {The power of practice: simulation training improving the quality of
   neonatal resuscitation skills in Bihar, India},
Journal = {BMC PEDIATRICS},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {18},
Month = {SEP 3},
Abstract = {Background: Globally, neonatal mortality accounts for nearly half of
   under-five mortality, and intrapartum related events are a leading
   cause. Despite the rise in neonatal resuscitation (NR) training programs
   in low-and middle-income countries, their impact on the quality of NR
   skills amongst providers with limited formal medical education,
   particularly those working in rural primary health centers (PHCs),
   remains incompletely understood.
   Methods: This study evaluates the impact of PRONTO International
   simulation training on the quality of NR skills in simulated
   resuscitations and live deliveries in rural PHCs throughout Bihar,
   India. Further, it explores barriers to performance of key NR skills.
   PRONTO training was conducted within CARE India's AMANAT intervention, a
   maternal and child health quality improvement project. Performance in
   simulations was evaluated using video-recorded assessment simulations at
   weeks 4 and 8 of training. Performance in live deliveries was evaluated
   in real time using a mobile-phone application. Barriers were explored
   through semi-structured interviews with simulation facilitators.
   Results: In total, 1342 nurses participated in PRONTO training and 226
   NR assessment simulations were matched by PHC and evaluated. From week 4
   to 8 of training, proper neck extension, positive pressure ventilation
   (PPV) with chest rise, and assessment of heart rate increased by 14\%,
   19\%, and 12\% respectively (all p <= 0.01). No difference was noted in
   stimulation, suction, proper PPV rate, or time to completion of key
   steps. In 252 live deliveries, identification of non-vigorous neonates,
   use of suction, and use of PPV increased by 21\%, 25\%, and 23\%
   respectively (all p < 0.01) between weeks 1-3 and 4-8. Eighteen
   interviews revealed individual, logistical, and cultural barriers to key
   NR skills.
   Conclusion: PRONTO simulation training had a positive impact on the
   quality of key skills in simulated and live resuscitations throughout
   Bihar. Nevertheless, there is need for ongoing improvement that will
   likely require both further clinical training and addressing barriers
   that go beyond the scope of such training. In settings where clinical
   outcome data is unreliable, data triangulation, the process of
   synthesizing multiple data sources to generate a better-informed
   evaluation, offers a powerful tool for guiding this process.},

Title = {Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of doctornurse
   substitution strategies in primary care: a qualitative evidence
   synthesis},
Journal = {COCHRANE DATABASE OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS},
Year = {2019},
Number = {4},
Abstract = {Background
   Having nurses take on tasks that are typically conducted by doctors
   (doctor-nurse substitution, a form of `task-shifting') may help to
   address doctor shortages and reduce doctors' workload and human resource
   costs. A Cochrane Review of effectiveness studies suggested that
   nurse-led care probably leads to similar healthcare outcomes as care
   delivered by doctors. This finding highlights the need to explore the
   factors that affect the implementation of strategies to substitute
   doctors with nurses in primary care. In our qualitative evidence
   synthesis (QES), we focused on studies of nurses taking on tasks that
   are typically conducted by doctors working in primary care, including
   substituting doctors with nurses or expanding nurses' roles.
   Objectives
   (1) To identify factors influencing implementation of interventions to
   substitute doctors with nurses in primary care. (2) To explore how our
   synthesis findings related to, and helped to explain, the findings of
   the Cochrane intervention review of the effectiveness of substituting
   doctors with nurses. (3) To identify hypotheses for subgroup analyses
   for future updates of the Cochrane intervention review.

   Science Citation Index databases, and `related article' searches in
   PubMed.
   Selection criteria
   We constructed a maximum variation sample (exploring variables such as
   country level of development, aspects of care covered and the types of
   participants) from studies that had collected and analysed qualitative
   data related to the factors influencing implementation of doctor-nurse
   substitution and the expansion of nurses' tasks in community or primary
   care worldwide. We included perspectives of doctors, nurses, patients
   and their families/carers, policymakers, programme managers, other
   health workers and any others directly involved in or affected by the
   substitution. We excluded studies that collected data using qualitative
   methods but did not analyse the data qualitatively.
   Data collection and analysis
   We identified factors influencing implementation of doctor-nurse
   substitution strategies using a framework thematic synthesis approach.
   Two review authors independently assessed the methodological strengths
   and limitations of included studies using a modified Critical Appraisal
   Skills Programme (CASP) tool. We assessed confidence in the evidence for
   the QES findings using the GRADE-CERQual approach. We integrated our
   findings with the evidence fromthe effectiveness review of doctor-nurse
   substitution using amatrixmodel. Finally, we identified hypotheses for
   subgroup analyses for updates of the review of effectiveness.
   Main results
   We included 66 studies (69 papers), 11 from low-or middle-income
   countries and 55 from high-income countries. These studies found several
   factors that appeared to influence the implementation of doctor-nurse
   substitution strategies. The following factors were based on findings
   that we assessed as moderate or high confidence. Patients in many
   studies knew little about nurses' roles and the difference between
   nurse-led and doctor-led care. They also had mixed views about the type
   of tasks that nurses should deliver. They preferred doctors when the
   tasks were more ` medical' but accepted nurses for preventive care and
   follow-ups. Doctors in most studies also preferred that nurses performed
   only ` non-medical' tasks. Nurses were comfortable with, and believed
   they were competent to deliver a wide range of tasks, but particularly
   emphasised tasks that were more health promotive/ preventive in nature.
   Patients in most studies thought that nurses were more easily accessible
   than doctors. Doctors and nurses also saw nurse-doctor substitution and
   collaboration as a way of increasing people's access to care, and
   improving the quality and continuity of care. Nurses thought that close
   doctor-nurse relationships and doctor's trust in and acceptance of
   nurses was important for shaping their roles. But nurses working alone
   sometimes found it difficult to communicate with doctors. Nurses felt
   they had gained new skills when taking on new tasks. But nurses wanted
   more and better training. They thought this would increase their skills,
   job satisfaction and motivation, and would make them more independent.
   Nurses taking on doctors' tasks saw this as an opportunity to develop
   personally, to gain more respect and to improve the quality of care they
   could offer to patients. Better working conditions and financial
   incentives also motivated nurses to take on new tasks. Doctors valued
   collaborating with nurses when this reduced their own workload. Doctors
   and nurses pointed to the importance of having access to resources, such
   as enough staff, equipment and supplies; good referral systems;
   experienced leaders; clear roles; and adequate training and supervision.
   But they often had problems with these issues. They also pointed to the
   huge number of documents they needed to complete when tasks were moved
   from doctors to nurses.
   Authors' conclusions
   Patients, doctors and nurses may accept the use of nurses to deliver
   services that are usually delivered by doctors. But this is likely to
   depend on the type of services. Nurses taking on extra tasks want
   respect and collaboration from doctors; as well as proper resources;
   good referral systems; experienced leaders; clear roles; and adequate
   incentives, training and supervision. However, these needs are not
   always met.},

Title = {The application of social innovation in healthcare: a scoping review},
Journal = {INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF POVERTY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {10},
Number = {1},
Month = {MAR 8},
Abstract = {Background: Social innovation has been applied increasingly to achieve
   social goals, including improved healthcare delivery, despite a lack of
   conceptual clarity and consensus on its definition. Beyond its tangible
   artefacts to address societal and structural needs, social innovation
   can best be understood as innovation in social relations, in power
   dynamics and in governance transformations, and may include
   institutional and systems transformations.
   Methods: A scoping review was conducted of empirical studies published
   in the past 10 years, to identify how social innovation in healthcare
   has been applied, the enablers and barriers affecting its operation, and
   gaps in the current literature. A number of disciplinary databases were
   searched between April and June 2020, including Academic Source
   Complete, CIHAHL, Business Source Complete Psych INFO, PubMed and Global
   Health. A 10-year publication time frame was selected and articles
   limited to English text. Studies for final inclusion was based on a
   pre-defined criteria.
   Results: Of the 27 studies included in this review, the majority adopted
   a case research methodology. Half of these were from authors outside the
   health sector working in high-income countries (HIC). Social innovation
   was seen to provide creative solutions to address barriers associated
   with access and cost of care in both low- and middle-income countries
   and HIC settings in a variety of disease focus areas. Compared to
   studies in other disciplines, health researchers applied social
   innovation mainly from an instrumental and technocratic standpoint to
   foster greater patient and beneficiary participation in health
   programmes. No empirical evidence was presented on whether this process
   leads to empowerment, and social innovation was not presented as
   transformative. The studies provided practical insights on how
   implementing social innovation in health systems and practice can be
   enhanced.
   Conclusions: Based on theoretical literature, social innovation has the
   potential to mobilise institutional and systems change, yet research in
   health has not yet fully explored this dimension. Thus far, social
   innovation has been applied to extend population and financial coverage,
   principles inherent in universal health coverage and central to SDG 3.8.
   However, limitations exist in conceptualising social innovation and
   applying its theoretical and multidisciplinary underpinnings in health
   research.},

Title = {Developing a Culturally and Linguistically Congruent Digital
   Storytelling Intervention in Vietnamese and Korean American Mothers of
   Human Papillomavirus-Vaccinated Children: Feasibility and Acceptability
   Study},
Journal = {JMIR FORMATIVE RESEARCH},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {7},
Abstract = {Background: The high morbidity, mortality, and economic burden
   attributed to cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV) call for
   researchers to address this public health concern through HPV
   vaccination. Disparities of HPV-associated cancers in Vietnamese and
   Korean Americans exist, yet their vaccination rates remain low. Evidence
   points to the importance of developing culturally and linguistically
   congruent interventions to improve their HPV vaccination rates. We
   adopted digital storytelling (DST) that combines oral storytelling with
   computer-based technology (digital images, audio recording, and music)
   as a promising approach for facilitating the communication of culturally
   relevant health messages.Objective: This study aimed to (1) assess the
   feasibility and acceptability of intervention development through DST
   workshops, (2) conduct an in-depth analysis of the cultural experience
   that shapes HPV attitudes, and (3) explore aspects of the DST workshop
   experience that could inform future formative and intervention work.
   Methods: Through community partners, social media, and snowball
   sampling, we recruited 2 Vietnamese American and 6 Korean American
   mothers (mean age 41.4, SD 5.8 years) who had children vaccinated
   against HPV. Three virtual DST workshops were conducted between July
   2021 and January 2022. Our team supported mothers to develop their own
   stories. Mothers completed web-based surveys before and after the
   workshop and provided feedback on each other's story ideas and the
   workshop experience. We used descriptive statistics to summarize
   quantitative data and constant comparative analysis to analyze
   qualitative data collected in the workshop and field notes.Results:
   Eight digital stories were developed in the DST workshops. They were
   well accepted, and the mothers showed overall satisfaction and relevant
   indicators (eg, would recommend it to others, would attend a similar
   workshop, it was worth their time; mean 4.2-5, range 1-5). Mothers found
   the process rewarding and appreciated the opportunity to share their
   stories in group settings and learn from each other. The 6 major themes
   that emerged from the data reflect the mothers' rich personal
   experiences, attitudes, and perceptions about their child's HPV
   vaccination, which included (1) showing parents' love and
   responsibility; (2) HPV and related knowledge, awareness, and attitudes;
   (3) factors influencing vaccine decision-making; (4) source of
   information and information sharing; (5) response to children's being
   vaccinated; and (6) cultural perspectives on health care and HPV
   vaccination.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a virtual DST
   workshop is a highly feasible and acceptable approach to engaging
   Vietnamese American and Korean American immigrant mothers in developing
   culturally and linguistically congruent DST interventions. Further
   research is needed to test the efficacy and effectiveness of digital
   stories as an intervention for Vietnamese American and Korean American
   mothers of unvaccinated children. This process of developing an
   easy-to-deliver, culturally and linguistically aligned, and holistic
   web-based DST intervention can be implemented with other populations in
   other languages.},

Title = {Union's inspiration: Universal health care and the essential partiality
   of solidarity},
Journal = {BIOETHICS},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {32},

Pages = {569-576},

Abstract = {Political struggles not only change social institutions and conventions,
   they also often shape normative language. Moral notions of lasting
   significance are like geological formations insofar as they are usually
   not formed in a void but under considerable pressure. While some notions
   are fundamentally linked to legal documents or academic treatises,
   others are mainly advanced in songs, pamphlets, or manifestos.
   Philosophical attempts to define these evolved notions are often
   sensitive to their particular histories in order to avoid detachment
   from common pre-theoretical usage. After all, moral theory would be
   ill-advised to rid itself of considered conceptual intuitions unless
   there are strong grounds for revision. Even though theoretical
   reflection may produce reasons to deviate from prevailing understandings
   of core moral notions, it must eventually rely on some form of a
   semantic orientation. The line between reconstructing and redefining
   moral notions is particularly hard to draw when it comes to
   comparatively young and polymorphic notions, such as solidarity. It is
   difficult to provide a finite definition of `solidarity', as the term
   has been appropriated in the pursuit of a variety of causes. Different
   theoretical reconstructions explicate solidarity as a form of unity,
   fraternity, civic friendship, charity, humanity, or camaraderie. Instead
   of reflecting on this variety of meanings, the present contribution
   examines the reference to solidarity within a specific context of moral
   debate. There are recurring calls for solidarity in contemporary
   oppositions to the erosion of the protective reliabilities of society,
   as it becomes manifest in the reduction, privatization, or
   stratification of both social security in general and health care in
   particular. In this context, solidarity is invoked as a relation that
   connects all members of society, providing a reason to accept or support
   the introduction or continuation of universal health care. In the
   following, I am concerned with the adequacy of the moral terminology
   implied in this line of reasoning. My claim is that - at least relative
   to the purpose of moral philosophy to provide a systematic,
   comprehensive, and fine-grained account of moral obligation - a specific
   partisan notion of solidarity is of greater systematic value to moral
   terminology than the alternative universal notion. At least one central
   strain of moral references to `solidarity' does not conceive it as a
   notion of universal moral inclusion, but of communal relatedness. This
   conception of solidarity imprints the term with a specific
   community-related perspective, i.e. the distinctive normative and
   motivational force of solidarity relations is taken to reside in a
   specific form of partiality toward significant groups like unions,
   cooperatives, parties, committees, etc. Ralph Chaplin's Solidarity
   Forever, for instance, memorably assigns the distinctive strength of
   references to solidarity to union's inspiration. In this understanding,
   the reference to solidarity bears a specific moral and political
   relevance because it conveys a normative insight to members of specific
   communities, explicating why they may be obliged to take a stand for a
   common cause, even if this involves going well beyond what can be
   expected of them merely qua moral subjects. I aim to show that a
   conception of `solidarity' that confines it to this decidedly partisan
   moral relation provides a significant contribution to moral philosophy
   because it grasps a specific and important facet of moral obligation.
   In the following, this structural feature of solidarity is discussed
   with regard to the moral foundation of health care policies. I argue
   that the demand to universal access to health care should be conceived
   as a matter of justice, decency, or humanity, rather than of solidarity,
   because the failure or refusal to provide adequate health coverage does
   not disregard individuals as members of specific communities, but as
   moral subjects. My argument for this terminological suggestion comes in
   three sections. The first section establishes a normative notion of
   solidarity as a source of - essentially partisan - communal obligations
   reflecting on shared identificatory attributes like convictions, social
   positions, or significant histories. Under this description, solidarity
   is understood to pose a particular type of special obligations, creating
   moral requirements that obtain apart from and beyond the demands of
   universal morality. The reference to solidarity unfolds a particular
   theoretical potential when it captures a distinct form of communality.
   The second section locates the normative foundation of calls for
   universal health care in the domain of justice by understanding the
   provision of basic health care as a right of every moral subject that is
   independent of normatively significant commonalities. The third section
   concludes that solidarity is a notion that does have a place in
   health-related norms, but that does not provide the best moral
   foundation of demands for universal health care. Rather, relations of
   solidarity establish forms of moral obligations that are indispensable
   when social systems fail to provide justice or reach their legitimate
   limits. The first step of the argument brings `solidarity' into view as
   a systematic term of moral philosophy as opposed to its role in
   sociology or political theory. This perspective focuses on solidarity as
   a relation that provides specific moral reasons, such as the reason to
   accept and obey practices of mutual assistance, to put oneself at risk
   or at a disadvantage for the benefit of others, to endure hardships for
   the common good, etc. Thus, the reference to solidarity within moral
   justification bears a discursive force in its own right. The main
   difficulty in the appropriation of solidarity to moral philosophy is to
   individuate and explicate a defining set of features of recognized uses
   of the term. Due to the variety of relations, attitudes, and
   dispositions that are commonly referred to as solidarity, no coherent
   notion can be expected to be able to simultaneously capture obligations
   toward humankind, or the exploited and the poor, among comrades and
   sisters in arms, and between the members of parties, teams, clubs,
   gangs, unions, collectives, and social movements. One reaction to this
   diagnosis is to accept that solidarity is a pluralistic notion that
   cannot be reduced to either of these meanings. However, this approach
   would possibly have to allow a very broad understanding of `solidarity'
   that could render the notion empty or incoherent. Such a conception of
   solidarity may pose no difficulties within everyday language, but it can
   be argued to be unsuitable for the kind of justification sought in moral
   philosophy. There are legitimate doubts about the confinement of moral
   notions like solidarity to the narrow boundaries of philosophical
   concepts for systematic purposes. However, if the language of moral
   philosophy is not to become artificial, it has to adopt notions of our
   common language and alter them to avoid incoherences.
   A moral account of solidarity is only of systematic value if the
   reference to `solidarity' captures a specific type of obligation that
   can be distinguished from other moral obligations. Without an
   explanation in what regards obligations of solidarity are different
   from, go beyond, or are more specific than obligations of justice,
   humanity, charity, fidelity, or loyalty, there is arguably no need for a
   distinct theory of solidarity within moral philosophy. Thus, a
   convincing exposition of solidarity should fulfill a condition of
   conceptual discriminability, and of irreducibility. If it is to play any
   significant role in moral philosophy, `solidarity' has to refer to a
   moral relation sui generis. Once some defining features of solidarity
   are established, the meaning of references to solidarity in debates
   about public health care can be addressed. In approaching a sound notion
   of solidarity, different accounts can be distinguished with regard to
   their position on its normative scope, i.e. with regard to the extension
   of the groups within which subjects are considered to have mutual
   obligations and corresponding claims of solidarity. The main dividing
   line that is relevant to the present context - to the analysis of the
   systematic function of references to solidarity within moral philosophy
   - must be drawn between universalist and partisan accounts of
   solidarity. Some prominent accounts of moral solidarity conceive it as a
   universal relation that extends to all humanity, or to all members of
   society, making solidarity the basis of a universal form of moral
   obligation. David Wiggins and Jurgen Habermas, for instance, invoke
   different notions of universal solidarity for different conceptual
   reasons. While Wiggins refers to solidarity in order to designate a
   fundamental form of a pre-reflective universal recognition implying
   negative duties, Habermas describes solidarity as a non-formal positive
   attitude of care complementing formal requirements of justice. Both
   accounts provide valuable insights into the nature of political and
   moral obligation. Yet, the competing understanding of solidarity as
   specific by virtue of its partiality comes with considerable systematic
   advantages. Wiggins understands solidarity as a fundamental moral
   relation that is characterized, among other things, by its universality.
   In this understanding, solidarity is a particular form of recognition
   that forms the basis of morality altogether. This form of recognition
   entails deontological constraints, but these constraints are not solely
   based on demands of reason. Thus, solidarity resembles Kantian respect
   in terms of the demands it poses, but with regard to the underlying
   attitude, solidarity resembles Humean sympathy. In the course of
   outlining obligations of solidarity, Wiggins identifies solidarity as
   `the {[} horizontal ellipsis ] thing that any human being owes to any or
   all other human beings, namely the solidum that is presupposed to the
   ordinary morality of all interaction between human beings'. As the very
   bedrock of moral relatedness, solidarity must extend to every moral
   subject alike. Solidarity is the basic form of recognition that
   interconnects moral subjects through their mutual consideration as
   bearers of a point of view that commands respect. Habermas brings forth
   a different account of solidarity, but he also uses the term to denote a
   relation with a universal extension.
   In this account: Solidarity {[} horizontal ellipsis ] is rooted in the
   realization that each person must take responsibility for the other
   because as consociates all must have an interest in the integrity of
   their shared life context in the same way. Justice conceived
   deontologically requires solidarity as its reverse side. Habermas
   distinguishes the fundamental moral demands of justice that are directly
   based on the principles of discourse from complementary demands of
   sympathy or care that are based on solidarity. While justice
   substantiates negative obligations, solidarity requires moral subjects
   to strive at promoting the welfare of others. Thus, Habermas supplements
   the discourse theory of morals with the relation of solidarity in order
   to be able to account for materially rich notions of social relatedness.
   However, in this description the `shared life-context' relevant to
   solidarity is not economic class, social position, or political stance
   but society as a whole. For Habermas, justice and solidarity differ with
   regard to the content of their obligation, yet they are similar in their
   universal scope, as solidarity is conceived of as extending toward all
   members of society. While both accounts capture an important aspect of
   moral and political obligation, their recourse to `solidarity' is not
   without problems. There is no incontestable argument that would be
   sufficient to reject these two notions of universal solidarity. While
   there is no `separate essence' of solidarity that could be referred to
   in order to argue for the conceptual necessity of solidarity's
   partiality, some features may reasonably be stipulated as being
   essential to solidarity with a view to its systematic function within
   moral philosophy. Thus, I aim to uncover some systematic disadvantages
   of assigning `solidarity' in the description of a universal relation
   within moral philosophy. The universal notion of solidarity misses - or
   deliberately excludes - something that is at the core of a competing
   account of solidarity. What is this feature of solidarity that is lost
   in its universalization? As indicated before, influential references to
   solidarity identify unity, cohesion, or community as essential elements
   of solidarity. The idea that is at the core of this understanding of
   solidarity can be illustrated with reference to a terminological
   precursor of `solidarity'. A legal construction of Roman civil law, the
   obligatio in solidum, describes a joint liability, or a liability for
   the whole, that is incurred when individual debtors assume
   responsibility for a collective loan. Accordingly, one can argue that
   obligations of solidarity require a solidum, i.e. some form of an
   entirety or a whole that serves as a point of reference in the content
   of solidary obligations. Wiggins understands the solidum to refer to the
   firmness of solidarity by making the relation of solidarity `the root of
   the ethical', or the hard core of morality. For Habermas, the solidum
   may be society as a whole comprising moral subjects viewed as
   consociates. These references to a solidum, however, have to be
   distinguished from those that base solidarity in communal relations
   entailing significant forms of relatedness that go beyond the
   obligations of moral subjects qua moral subjects. Solidarity qua
   partisan relation refers to a morally significant solidum in terms of a
   wholeness or unity of distinct communities.
   The question with regard to universal solidarity is what the reference
   to a solidum contributes normatively beyond the consideration of others
   as mere moral subjects. In the case of partial solidarity, significant
   commonalities determine the range and the dimension of specific
   obligations of solidarity. If a solidary community is of moral
   significance, then it must entail a relevant distinction between
   subjects as members of the community and others as - mere - moral
   subjects, just like friends, comrades, or family members have to make
   this distinction in order to satisfy the normative implications entailed
   in friendship, camaraderie, or family. The moral significance that is
   missing in accounts of universal solidarity concerns the role of
   expressions like `my' or `our' as irreducible constituents of moral
   reasons that are indicative of communal obligation. In this manner, the
   reference to others as `my friend', `my sister', or `my ally' expresses
   a structural characteristic of morally significant relations within a
   community. Thus, the obligation toward one's own community is not merely
   an obligation toward some community based on a neutral moral property
   but on a reason that necessarily entails a reference to the bearer of
   the obligation. This demonstrates that the universal relation that
   Wiggins and Habermas have in mind cannot be regarded as one specific
   form of - a human or a moral - solidarity that may coexist with narrower
   forms of national, ethnic, cultural, or political solidarities. The
   problem is that human solidarity lacks the significant reference to a
   solidum. While there is a difference between characterizing someone as a
   friend or a comrade and referring to her as one's own friend or as my
   comrade, it is plainly difficult to comprehend what would distinguish
   someone as `my fellow human' from someone as merely `a human'. The
   solidarity within civil rights movements or political unions requires a
   reference to others in relation to the subject of solidarity exposing
   their significant commonality as feminists, homosexuals, workers,
   anarchists, etc. Thus understood, relations of solidarity, and the
   entitlements and obligations associated with them, only extend to those
   who are related via significant commonalities, and the content of
   solidary obligations is explained and limited by these commonalities as
   well. This structural difference between agent-relative and neutral
   moral reasons suggests that the notions of universal and partisan
   solidarity are incompatible; but this does not imply that the universal
   notion has to give way to the partisan notion of solidarity. My argument
   rests on the assumption that, while the notion of partisan solidarity
   captures a specific moral phenomenon for which there is no comparable
   alternative, the partisan conception does not take anything away from
   those accounts that refer to universal solidarity, because other
   established moral notions like humanity, charity, or beneficence suffice
   to capture what appears to be invoked in references to universal
   solidarity. While it is impossible to pre-decide this issue for all
   potential conceptions of universal solidarity, the relation that Wiggins
   has in mind may be re-described as humanity, compassion, or
   fellow-feeling, or maybe as a basic form of moral recognition.
   At any rate, other terms than `solidarity', which is commonly associated
   with a much more specific meaning, may be conceived as fitting to
   describe such a fundamental form of moral relatedness. Similarly, one
   may concede that Habermas makes a valid material point to emphasize
   positive obligations between all members of society. Yet, there may be
   alternative notions, like care, mutual concern, or civility, that
   capture what Habermas has in mind. If using the term solidarity to
   describe universal moral relations leaves a specific form of moral
   obligation without a label, more needs to be said about the
   distinctiveness of the communality that is supposed to be entailed in
   this form of moral obligation. Solidarity is often regarded as an
   inherently inclusive ideal to counter the narrowness of commitments to
   blood, soil, and nation. This appears to be incompatible with the
   defense of an essentially partial, and thus exclusive, notion of
   solidarity. However, solidarity cannot only be distinguished from
   universally inclusive obligations, but also from immediate and exclusive
   forms of moral relatedness like patriotism, friendship, or loyalty. Thus
   conceived, solidarity comprises a very specific strain of a wider set of
   what may be considered associative obligations. These obligations, in
   turn, belong to a wider class of special obligations comprising
   contractual duties, reparative duties, and duties of gratitude.
   Solidarity's normative force depends on meaningful commonalities like a
   joint struggle, a common ideal of a good life, or a social utopia, in
   relation to which a solidary subject positions herself, while being
   aware that others do the same. Solidarity is special insofar as it
   contains a shared partisan involvement with a group that is not
   strategic, but that is nonetheless `mediated by thought and belief'. Due
   to its normative foundation in reflected commitments, solidarity tends
   to be more inclusive than immediate ties of kith and kin. Even though
   solidarity is - inevitably - more exclusive than humanity, it allows for
   inclusion of those who are willing to join with an identificatory
   commitment. If solidarity relations pertain to a specific form of
   communal obligation which holds some significance in moral life, and for
   the description of which moral philosophy possesses no viable
   alternative, then abandoning this notion noticeably impoverishes moral
   language. This pragmatic argument about philosophical terminology does
   not question the existence of universal obligations, but it suggests
   that the term solidarity is misplaced in the denotation of universal
   obligations or affiliations; or at least that the decision to understand
   solidarity as universal is accompanied by a systematic disadvantage to
   moral philosophy. In the remainder, I am interested in the possible
   normative role of this account of solidarity within bioethics and health
   justice. The previous argument does not, by itself, show that the term
   solidarity is misplaced in the formulation of moral demands for
   universal health care. In order to substantiate this thesis, more needs
   to be said about the vindication of health-related claims and
   obligations. My terminological suggestion presupposes that public health
   care is not - or at least not primarily - a matter of communal or
   partisan obligation, even though the prevalent vocabulary of health care
   entails some conceptual vicinity to notions like solidarity.
   The extent to which the moral demand to universal health care can be
   argued to be based on solidarity depends on the general nature of the
   normative foundation of the provision of public health care. According
   to the broad WHO definition, universal health care or coverage exists
   when `all individuals and communities receive the health services they
   need without suffering financial hardship'. Beyond safeguarding access
   to health services, which can be realized through different types of
   government interventions from providing health services to structuring
   public and private insurance schemes, universal health coverage also
   extends to public health measures addressing disease prevention or
   health equality. In the first instance, universality is defined in
   relation to existing societies, requiring all members, citizens, or
   residents to be adequately protected against the contingency of disease
   and infirmity. Solidarity is often invoked in this context because it is
   considered to be closely connected to core mechanisms of health
   protection, such as the mutual assistance and the socialization of the
   costs of health protection and health services. Depending on the extent
   of commodification, i.e. on the absence of government intervention
   regarding premiums, redistribution, coverage, compulsory membership,
   etc., some health care regimes rely on conventional insurance models,
   while others operate through different forms of government intervention.
   The fundamental distinction to be made concerns different ideas of the
   socialization of health-related burdens and risks. Many forms of
   protection against disability, fire, theft, debt default, etc. are
   covered through insurance policies that are privately offered on
   markets. In these schemes, individuals pay risk-equivalent premiums to a
   common fund in order to pool resources that are distributed to
   individuals suffering the harm covered by the respective scheme of
   collective protection. The principle underlying these forms of insurance
   - an idea that increasingly governs systems of private health insurance
   as well - does not rest on a moral notion of solidarity at all, as the
   rationale for participation is fully reducible to a non-moral motivation
   of self-interest. In fact, one of the major criticisms of the
   privatization of health insurance is directed at the loss of solidarity
   involved in individualization and the crowding out of poor-risk
   patients. In contrast to the market model of health insurance, most
   forms of state-regulated or state-run health care are not organized in
   the form of a collection of risk-equivalent premiums but entail some
   redistributive measures, such as the provision or support of social
   health insurance or tax-based financing of health services. Public
   health systems deliberately ignore factors like age, gender, social
   status, or pre-existing health conditions that have an impact on the
   estimated costs of health services to be covered in the case of
   maternity, illness, or injury. This renunciation to select, isolate, and
   exclude poor risks may be considered an institutionalization of a
   genuinely moral form of solidarity. This moral notion of solidarity as a
   measure to socialize risk and burdens is ubiquitous in the development
   of the welfare state. Thus, references to solidarity in the context of
   health provision may be considered rudiments of the normative frameworks
   of initial efforts to establish social health care that were conceived
   to replace vanishing traditional forms of social protection.
   Toward the establishment of universal public health care, local
   protective institutions like the family, tribe, or village are gradually
   supplemented or replaced by initially delineated communities of a
   company's workforce, the members of a cooperative, a union, craft, or
   class. The history of the development of public health care is permeated
   with references to solidarity as an ideal of moral inclusion. Thus, the
   historic achievement of the modern welfare state could be seen in its
   incorporation of numerous local solidarities into a single
   all-encompassing system of solidarity as it may be found in programs of
   social health insurance and tax-based health systems. If original forms
   of social protection are describable as forms of solidarity, then the
   public provision in systems of universal health care may be argued to be
   an extension of the initially limited forms of group solidarity toward a
   universal solidarity within society as a whole. One could argue that the
   development of a separation of privately organized insurance schemes
   from a universal system of health care runs contrary to the modern
   process of expanding health insurance and solidarity instead of
   fragmenting or restricting it. Thus conceived, solidarity would be an
   adequate normative reference condemning trends toward atomization and
   self-reliance, and away from the collectivization of health risks.
   Despite the initial plausibility of this description, the previous
   distinctions suggest that the relations of solidarity within initially
   separate schemes of insurance and social protection undergo a
   substantial transformation by being universalized, thus possibly calling
   for a description in a different moral vocabulary. The normative
   innovation that is entailed in the shift from communal toward universal
   inclusion in health care provision is decisive to the present argument
   regarding moral terminology. It suggests that universal health care is
   better justified in a different vocabulary than that of solidarity.
   There is a fundamental argument that casts conceptual doubt on the idea
   of understanding solidarity as a foundation of universal health
   coverage. Even though many factual instances of health care provision
   may be described as based on solidarity, there is a decisive difference
   to the moral foundation of universal health care. In order to conform
   with the previous understanding, the reference to solidarity in
   arguments supporting universal health care would require a commonality
   that serves as the solidum substantiating health-related obligations of
   solidarity. However, the principle of universal inclusion appears to
   contradict the supposition of a solidum that would substantiate a
   distinction between members and non-members. One evident candidate for
   such a commonality would be the human vulnerability to disease,
   infirmity, or injury. In this line of argument, health claims could be
   considered to be based on a shared vulnerability that transcends
   individual claims of justice stemming from general attributes. However,
   the attempt to base health-related moral claims on a commonality of
   human vulnerability that unites all human individuals is not convincing.
   Rather than some form of a commonality, the universal presence of a
   morally relevant feature appears to do the normative work here. It is
   hard to comprehend how the universal vulnerability to disease and
   infirmity would serve as an identificatory point of reference to
   substantiate moral obligations toward others beyond their significance
   as moral subjects.
   In contrast to the universal fragility, the commonality of the specific
   situation of persons with AIDS or cancer can be conceived as such a
   point of reference, which is reflected in the membership of patient
   associations. Another problem of accounts of health-related universal
   solidarity is that they seem unable to show what this basal
   identification would add to our idea of moral obligation. If all humans
   share this vulnerability to disease and infirmity, then all that they
   could be said to owe to one another as vulnerable subjects is already
   encompassed in their obligations toward one another as human beings. The
   alternative to understanding moral demands on health care as stemming
   from some morally significant commonality is to devise them as
   universally dispersed entitlements of justice. In this understanding,
   claims to health do not go beyond the basic forms of moral obligation,
   and thus require no special obligation. They are neither supererogatory
   nor are they based in some special form of communality. This idea is
   reflected as a right to health, which - even though more has to be said
   about its peculiar object - is widely regarded as a fundamental human
   right. While the borders of nation-states inevitably set a frame for the
   political implementation of moral demands to health, the justification
   of these demands does not depend on the reference to this contingent
   frame. The reference to a `human right' to health suggests that moral
   claims to health are not morally based in membership, or citizenship,
   but in the status of moral persons. There are two conceptual advantages
   to conceiving of claims to health in terms of justice, rather than
   solidarity. First, based on the distinction between communal and
   universal forms of obligation, solidarity remains available as a
   powerful reference to a specific form of communal obligation that
   obliges members of specific groups like unions, civil rights movements,
   political associations, cultural collectives, etc. toward each other
   beyond neutral morality. Second, the moral significance of
   health-related claims is reflected in the fact that they are not
   inferred from a commonality complementing the fundamental demands of
   morality, but they are situated at the center of social morality.
   Condemning the absence of sufficient health services by bemoaning a lack
   of solidarity may not be misconceived entirely, but it does not address
   the gravity of the moral offense entailed in violating or neglecting
   demands of justice. The rights-based argument for universal health care
   can be approached in different ways. It can be interpreted as stemming
   from a right to a specific health status, as a right to a range of
   health care services, or as the right to the opportunity to participate
   in an adequate system of health protection. While these distinctions are
   of importance when it comes to evaluating health systems, the point in
   the context of the present analysis is that there is a vindication of
   moral claims to the provision of health care that is independent of
   considerations of solidarity, because these claims are independent of a
   normatively relevant solidum. In theories of justice, health is widely
   understood as a universally valued good that is worthy of protection,
   and whose importance generates strong obligations for society,
   obligations to corresponding rights. However, the reference to a right
   to health, if understood as a right to be healthy, arguably contains a
   mistake about the possible objects of moral entitlements.
   The crucial issue is that the adequate object corresponding to a right
   cannot be a status, but it must be an action, or a set of rules or an
   institution. While societies do have an impact on population health
   through measures of environmental awareness, workplace safety,
   education, etc., health is something that cannot be unconditionally owed
   to a person. The right to a certain health status at any rate poses an
   unreasonable, or even an unrealizable demand. This problem leads to the
   assumption that there is no right to health, but only to health-related
   resources and services like vaccines and vaccinations, X-rays,
   counseling, appendectomies, etc. Accordingly, legal interpretations of
   the right to health acknowledge that it `must be understood as a right
   to the enjoyment of a variety of facilities, goods, services, and
   conditions necessary for the realization of the highest attainable
   standard of health'. This further criterion regarding the range of
   health services by reference to their adequacy to achieve the `highest
   attainable standard' of health is particularly instructive, because it
   shows that the mere reference to a right to health care is incomplete.
   The modified reference to a health status that is not absolute but
   relative to specific personal and social conditions serves the purpose
   of delineating a reasonable, but possibly comprehensive, standard of
   what can be reasonably required in the promotion of health. The reason
   not to understand the right to health by reference to a fixed catalogue
   of health services is that the legitimate requirements on health systems
   depend on the available resources. The right to health as a right to the
   highest attainable standard of health can thus be understood as a right
   to the opportunity to achieve a standard of health that is realizable
   under the prevailing social circumstances. The point that is crucial to
   the present inquiry is that these justifications of the provision of
   public health care may - or even should - forgo references to a form of
   solidarity that is based on significant commonalities. Basic health care
   can be argued to be a demand of justice, and should not be translated to
   a demand of solidarity, as this shift of terminology has moral
   implications. There is a justified demand for universal health care that
   does not appeal to our specific commonality as beings that are
   vulnerable to disease and injury or to our membership in specific
   communities, but that is simply based on the fundamental intrinsic and
   instrumental importance of health. As the main topic of the present
   inquiry is moral terminology, my primary aim is not to substantiate the
   material commitments regarding health-related moral claims that have
   been incurred along the way but to specify the role of solidarity in the
   justification of public health care. An admittedly surprising result is
   that the foundation of moral claims to health via health rights may be
   subsumed under the Habermasian conception of solidarity. However, my
   disagreement with Habermas does not concern his substantiation of
   universal claims to positive measures of assistance but the choice of
   terminology relative to the functions of moral theory. Thus, my concern
   regarding the universalization of the term solidarity, and its
   subsequent suitability to communal obligations, remains.
   The problem of the universal notion of solidarity in this context
   consists of the dilemma of either providing an insufficient
   substantiation of fundamental health-related moral claims or of diluting
   a notion of communal relatedness that is relevant in other situations.
   Two more points should be made in order to better grasp the potential
   role of references to a moral notion of solidarity. The previous
   characterization of solidarity indicates that philosophical conceptions
   of solidarity remain relative in at least three regards. First, the
   field of obligations associated with solidarity depends on normative
   background assumptions incurred in philosophical accounts of morality.
   Relations of partial solidarity do not necessarily replace or outweigh
   universal forms of moral obligation. They constitute merely one
   dimension in a complex fabric of interpersonal moral relations. If
   solidarity is conceived of as a type of a special duty, i.e. as a form
   of obligation that exceeds the demands of neutral morality, then the
   potential range of obligations of solidarity depends upon what is
   included in the sphere of general moral obligation, and what is not.
   This points to a second relativity of solidarity as a moral notion. As
   indicated before, the moral force of obligations of solidarity depends
   on the moral legitimacy of the commonalities generating solidarity
   relations. On the one hand, moral obligations stemming from solidarity
   can be overridden by demands of justice, but, on the other hand, they
   also have to meet an internal criterion of moral adequacy. The partisan
   conception of solidarity does not imply that any form of commonality can
   be invoked to establish a special obligation toward the members of a
   group. From a sociological perspective, the cohesion within the mafia or
   among White supremacists may be described as solidarity, but in virtue
   of the repulsiveness of their ideological foundation, these relations do
   not have to be accounted for as morally binding because the immoral
   content of a common conviction can operate as a defeating reason to the
   moral validity of its role as an identificatory commonality. In this
   sense, solidarity is normatively dependent without being reducible to
   neutral morality. Finally, the importance of relations of solidarity is
   dependent on the social environment in which they arise. This may, in
   part, explain the current social reversion to the vocabulary of
   solidarity. Within just societies, solidarity provides a reference point
   in the self-location of individuals within identificatory communities.
   This function is important to the generation and embedding of individual
   personalities. However, under non-ideal circumstances, solidarity may
   assume a core function in the enforcement of basic moral claims, and in
   the compensation of the shortfalls of social institutions. Two reasons
   appear to be pressing for conceptual clarity when making reference to
   solidarity. First, there is a danger of underrating the moral weight of
   claims to health care. In the understanding defended above, solidarity
   is imprinted with the idea that its obligations are special insofar as
   they go beyond what persons owe one another as moral subjects.
   Overstretching this notion opens the possibility of understanding the
   inadequate provision of health care as something that is regrettable,
   but that is outside the domain of justice. Solidarity marks those
   obligations that stem from their relatedness as members of morally
   significant communities.
   The obligation to provide a social system of protection against the
   harms caused by disease and injury extends to persons irrespective of
   their class, heritage, or belonging. Meeting this basic demand does not
   mark the solidarity of a society, but its decency. It is not something
   that must be justified by reference to an additional condition like a
   morally significant commonality. Second, relations of solidarity provide
   extremely important normative and motivational resources of social
   engagement. The preceding argument does not imply that solidarity is
   dispensable when it comes to analyzing and posing moral demands and
   corresponding obligations that are related to health. Beyond this,
   solidarity as a social relation and the obligations that it generates
   can be argued to be particularly relevant in times of crisis. Solidarity
   is less likely to be invoked in societies that manage to avoid the
   emergence of grave inequalities, discrimination, or injustice, than in
   societies that are unwilling or unable to provide adequate frameworks
   for just cooperation. The normative and motivational force of the ties
   invoked by solidarity is particularly relevant when basic moral demands
   are not met, and all non-ideal societies are in need of these kinds of
   solidarities. When Greece was hit by economic crisis and austerity, food
   solidarity centers, social kitchens, and solidarity clinics emerged
   throughout the country to countervail the gaps left after the retreat of
   government from the provision of welfare. In this manner, local
   solidarities may prove crucial in mitigation the effects of social
   regression. Similarly, the civil society in the United States may be
   forced revert to these mechanisms of social protection when those with
   no or low income and those vulnerable to disease and infirmity - i.e.
   the poor and the poor-risks - are effectively deprived of access to
   health care through market expansion and government retreat. The call
   for the emergence of solidarity in these contexts, however, should be
   strictly distinguished from the indignation about the absence of
   justice. It is in these contexts that a precise notion of solidarity is
   required so that it can unfold its full normative potential and the
   motivational force of union's inspiration. The main concern of the
   previous argument is that a notion of universal solidarity is employed
   at the cost of the ability to give expression to a different moral idea
   of a wide but nonetheless thick communality. Ralph Chaplin considered
   solidarity to be able to summon a power greater than hoarded gold and
   greater than the might of armies, and it seems like the power of
   establishing this form of communality is one of the reasons for the
   ubiquity of references to solidarity. The actual relations of solidarity
   may not vanish due to a lack of vocabulary to refer to them, but their
   potential to generate moral action may decrease as a result of our
   inability to discern them. The author declares no conflict of interest.

   The famous first lines run as follows: `When the union's inspiration
   through the workers' blood shall run, there can be no power greater
   anywhere beneath the sun. Yet what force on earth is weaker than the
   feeble strength of one, for the union makes us strong'. Chaplin, of
   course, does not just refer to a principle of unity or union, but to the
   union as a form of political organization. However, union - qua relation
   of unity - is a defining principle of the type of organizations - like
   trade unions or cooperatives - that Chaplin praises.A similar argument
   can be found in Butler, S. (2012). A dialectic of cooperation and
   competition: Solidarity and universal health care provision. Bioethics,
   26, 351-360. Butler understands solidarity as one of the four tiers of
   social competition and cooperation. His conclusion is that `whatever
   justifications might exist for universal health care provision, none of
   them are properly referred to as being based in solidarity' (ibid: p.
   351). Another defense of a partisan conception of solidarity is advanced
   in Heyd, D. (2015). Solidarity:A local, partial and reflective emotion.

   distinguishable from other norms, but it also excludes accounts of
   solidarity that consider it a mere instrument in the pursuit of
   superordinate objects like justice or non-discrimination. While some
   forms of solidarity may be embedded in struggles for justice, this does
   not warrant the strong claim that `justice implicates solidarity', as
   suggested in Jennings \& Dawson, op. cit. note 6, p. 38. If solidarity
   was merely instrumental to justice, there would be nothing wrong with
   breaches of solidarity, as long as they promote - or are intended to
   promote - overall justice.For a discussion of Wiggins, see Nagel, T.

   In many cases, this form of insurance solidarity, however, is far from
   being universal. If individuals are granted the opportunity to opt out
   of insurance schemes that host high-cost risks, thereby reducing their
   own fees as well as the socially available funds for redistribution,
   there is no solidarity in a comprehensive sense but rather solidarity
   within coexisting social groups.For a systematic account of solidarity
   with regard to its relation to health care, see Jaeggi, R. (2011).
   Solidarity and indifference. In R. ter Meulen, W. Arts, \& R. Muffels
   (Eds.), Solidarity in health and social care in Europe (pp. 287-308).
   Dordrecht, The Netherlands: Kluwer Academic.There is a general problem
   concerning the term `universal' in this context, as the universalism of
   moral theory is contradicted by the localism of its implementation in
   national health systems. Even though quite a number of moral demands are
   spelled out in universal terms, the moral claim to health is primarily
   implemented through the rights of citizens or residents of nation
   states. Thus, one could object that all existing health systems are
   partial toward the members of specific societies, and that they may be
   regarded to be morally based in national solidarity. The recognition of
   a universal demand to health is not exhausted in the protection and
   promotion of health of citizens of a particular state but would require
   the consideration of any moral subject. I will widely bypass this
   fundamental complexity that affects all theories of political justice
   and focus on universal health-related moral claims within given
   societies. The following section reconstructs the normative foundation
   of health systems by reference to a universal right to health as it is
   formulated in UN conventions, while its implementation is de facto
   translated to the fragmented responsibilities of nation states.This
   argument is also made by Heyd, op. cit. note 4, pp. 62-63.For

   importance of telling solidarity and justice apart CONFLICT OF INTEREST
   Footnotes Solidarity is commonly invoked in the justification of public
   health care.
   This is understandable, as calls for and appeals to solidarity are
   effective in the mobilization of unison action and the willingness to
   incur sacrifices for others. However, the reference to solidarity as a
   moral notion requires caution, as there is no agreement on the meaning
   of solidarity. The article argues that the reference to solidarity as a
   normative notion is relevant to health-related moral claims, but that it
   does not provide a convincing foundation of claims to universal health
   care. References to universal solidarity obliterate an important
   distinction between those moral demands that are founded on principles
   like justice, recognition, or humanity, and those demands that stem from
   partisan relations in communities. While there is no `separate essence'
   of solidarity that could be referred to in order to argue for the
   conceptual necessity of solidarity's partiality, some features may
   reasonably be stipulated as being essential to solidarity with a view to
   its systematic function within moral philosophy. The normative and
   motivational force of the ties invoked by solidarity is particularly
   relevant when basic moral demands are not met, and societies are in need
   of significant forms of communal relatedness.},

Title = {Evaluation of an anti-stigma intervention for Mexican psychiatric

Abstract = {Background There is research evidence regarding the presence of
   stigmatising attitudes in psychiatrists towards people with mental
   illness, but a lack of studies and interventions focused on this issue
   in low and middle-income countries. Aims To assess the feasibility of
   implementing an anti-stigma intervention for Mexican psychiatric
   trainees, and its potential effects. Methods This study comprised a
   pre-post design with outcome measures compared between baseline and
   3-month follow-up. Quantitative outcome measures were used to evaluate
   the potential effects of the intervention, whilst the process evaluation
   required the collection and analysis of both quantitative and
   qualitative data. Results Twenty-nine trainees (25\% of those invited)
   participated in the intervention, of whom 18 also participated in the
   follow-up assessment. Outcome measures showed the intervention had
   moderately large effects on reducing stereotypes and the influence of
   other co-workers on trainees' own attitudes. The main mechanisms of
   impact identified were recognition of negative attitudes in oneself and
   colleagues, self-reflection about the impact of stigma, one's own
   negative attitudes and recognition of one's ability to make change.
   Participants accepted and were satisfied with the intervention, which
   many considered should be part of their routine training. However,
   trainees' work overload and lack of support from the host organisation
   were identified as barriers to implement the intervention. Conclusions A
   brief anti-stigma intervention for Mexican psychiatric trainees is
   feasible, potentially effective, well accepted and was considered
   necessary by participants. This study also suggests mechanisms of impact
   and mediators should be considered for developing further interventions,
   contributing to reducing the damaging effects that mental health-related
   stigma has on people's lives.},

Title = {Laparoscopic Versus Open Cholecystectomy: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
   at Rwanda Military Hospital},
Journal = {WORLD JOURNAL OF SURGERY},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {41},
Number = {5},
Pages = {1225-1233},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is first-line treatment for
   uncomplicated gallstone disease in high-income countries due to benefits
   such as shorter hospital stays, reduced morbidity, more rapid return to
   work, and lower mortality as well-being considered cost-effective.
   However, there persists a lack of uptake in low- and middle-income
   countries. Thus, there is a need to evaluate laparoscopic
   cholecystectomy in comparison with an open approach in these settings.
   Methods A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed to evaluate
   laparoscopic and open cholecystectomies at Rwanda Military Hospital
   (RMH), a tertiary care referral hospital in Rwanda. Sensitivity and
   threshold analyses were performed to determine the robustness of the
   results.
   Results The laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy costs and
   effectiveness values were \$2664.47 with 0.87 quality-adjusted life
   years (QALYs) and \$2058.72 with 0.75 QALYs, respectively. The
   incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for laparoscopic over open
   cholecystectomy was \$4946.18. Results are sensitive to the initial
   laparoscopic equipment investment and number of cases performed annually
   but robust to other parameters. The laparoscopic intervention is more
   cost-effective with investment costs less than \$91,979, greater than 65
   cases annually, or at willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds greater than
   \$3975/QALY.
   Conclusions At RMH, while laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be a more
   effective approach, it is also more expensive given the low caseload and
   high investment costs. At commonly accepted WTP thresholds, it is not
   cost-effective. However, as investment costs decrease and/or case volume
   increases, the laparoscopic approach may become favorable. Countries and
   hospitals should aspire to develop innovative, low-cost options in high
   volume to combat these barriers and provide laparoscopic surgery.},

Title = {Predictors of compliance with the postpartum visit among women living in
   healthy start project areas},
Journal = {MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH JOURNAL},
Year = {2006},
Volume = {10},
Number = {6},
Pages = {511-516},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Objectives: Few studies have examined factors associated with compliance
   with a postpartum visit (PPV). The identification of such factors is of
   particular importance in populations with high rates of unintended
   pregnancies and medical complications of pregnancy. This study seeks to
   determine factors associated with compliance with a PPV among low-income
   women in the population served by fourteen Healthy Start sites.
   Methods: Data from the Healthy Start Survey of Postpartum Women were
   reviewed to identify variables associated with compliance with a PPV at
   or beyond 6 weeks. Multiple logistic regression models were created,
   based on a sociobehavioral model of health services use, to examine
   which types of factors (demographic, social, enabling or need) are most
   strongly associated with the use of a PPV.
   Results: The study population consisted of survey respondents
   interviewed six weeks or more following delivery. Eighty-five percent of
   respondents had had a PPV at time of interview. In a multiple regression
   analysis, enabling factors such as multiple moves (OR (95\% CI) = 0.34
   (0.18, 0.67)), trouble understanding the provider (OR (95 \% CI) = 0.65
   (0.43, 0.99)) and appointment reminders (OR (95\% CI) = 2.37 (1.40,
   4.02)) were most strongly associated with a PPV.
   Conclusions: This work finds that women with unstable housing,
   transportation barriers, and difficulties communicating with providers
   are at risk for not receiving a PPV. This suggests that access to
   postpartum health services in the Healthy Start communities studied may
   not be entirely equitable. Policies aimed at improving interconception
   care will need to address these barriers to accessing health services.},

Abstract = {Since the end of the 18th century, the burning and use of hydrocarbons
   has been the main source of energy used by mankind to achieve more
   developed societies, ignoring -at first - the high cost of natural
   resources involved. The use of this type of non-renewable energy has
   caused serious imbalances in the atmosphere and, in turn, a great impact
   on all the Earth's ecosystems, since any type of alteration in the
   atmosphere causes, as a consequence, further transformations in the rest
   of The conclusions reached by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
   Change (IPCC) are the results of more than 30 years of research
   dedicated to the study of the climate system and its alterations. It is
   not, therefore, a diffuse and banal reflection to be downplayed, quite
   the contrary, as it recreates the present and future scenario to which
   legal science must respond. Science, as usual, often leads the way in
   international rule-making and standard-setting processes, and has been
   decisive on climate change: there is an urgent need for a drastic
   reduction in the levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that human
   activities release into the atmosphere. Indeed, even if the Paris
   Agreement targets are met, resilience or adaptation and climate
   stability will be some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. There
   is now a clear scientific consensus on the unequivocal attribution of
   climate change to human activities. However, the impacts of climate
   variability are biased and the crosscutting issues that surround them,
   such as inequity and the vulnerability of multiple groups, such as women
   and children, are often displaced in the face of the severe damage
   already being done to the Earth's oceans, atmosphere, ice and biosphere,
   rapidly and pervasively. The greenhouse effect is an inherently
   discriminatory phenomenon because it affects systemically, unequally and
   disproportionately not only people belonging to a certain group, but
   also constitutes an emerging, progressive and increasingly frequent and
   intense damage to societies and nations that have not reached their
   maximum levels of development, or that lack the measures or the
   technology to adapt to climate variability. The purpose of this article
   is twofold. On the one hand, it aims to identify the direct consequences
   of anthropogenic global warming on women and children, interweaving the
   scientific basis with legal science, which will allow us to
   contextualize the current state of the situation in an objective manner;
   on the other hand, it aims to define the position of the international
   community on both issues, from a critical point of view, a human
   rights-based approach, and with a special reference to the European
   jurisdictional progress, which could contribute to enhance the
   international climate cooperation. This also includes legal proposals
   based on the principles of equal treatment and opportunities between
   women and men, and intergenerational equity, the empowerment of citizens
   to receive quality environmental education, the participation and
   integration of both women and new generations in political decisions on
   issues that affect them, and their inclusion in the discussion and
   analysis of the impact of the climate emergency based on scientific
   knowledge. This research is based on the axis of different theoretical
   frameworks, and seeks both to establish connections between different
   areas of knowledge and to provide an international legal response to the
   problem of global warming for women and children through the analysis of
   international law and its implementation.
   In addition, this study is based on the principle of scientific evidence
   that underpins the work of the IPCC and, more specifically, will build
   on the efforts of Working Group II (WGII) of the Sixth Assessment Report
   (AR6) on impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation. In the international
   legal sphere, this paper aims to link two areas of international law as
   major references: international human rights law and the legal framework
   regulating climate change in the international forum. With regard to the
   structure of this article, we will find an introduction to the state of
   the question, followed by the theoretical-methodological aspects that
   are intertwined in this research: the interweaving of postcolonial
   feminist theory, scientific knowledge and legal argumentation. The
   second section of this study aims to contextualize the impacts of
   climate change on ecosystems and the most vulnerable groups, with
   references to the contributions of Working Groups I and II of the IPCC
   Sixth Assessment Report and other scientific studies that support the
   position of the vulnerability of women and children to the adverse
   effects of climate change. Within the second section, the IPCC has
   concluded that countries are already experiencing increasing impacts
   such as biodiversity loss, extreme weather events, land degradation,
   desertification and deforestation, sand and dust storms, persistent
   drought, sea level rise, coastal erosion, ocean acidification and
   mountain glacier retreat, causing severe disruption to societies,
   economies, employment, agricultural, industrial and commercial systems,
   global trade, supply chains and travel. It has also reported thata there
   has been a devastating impact on sustainable development, including
   poverty eradication and livelihoods, threatening food security and
   nutrition and water accessibility. Furthermore, a sub-section has been
   created that will detail some of the impacts of climate change
   specifically on women and children. In this sense, it is evident that
   women's reproductive rights are affected, there is an increase in
   vector-borne diseases with discriminatory tendencies based on gender,
   the manifestation of socio-economic inequalities linked to climate
   change, marginalisation, and the lack of capacity of children to adapt
   to climate change. The third section is devoted to providing a legal
   overview of the doctrine's position on the matter and the cases
   currently being heard in some courts where the plaintiffs are women and
   minors. This section highlights the impossibility of ignoring both the
   feminist approach and the intergenerational equity approach. It is also
   pointed out that in the elaboration of climate policies, it is not
   enough to draw up a list of insufficient and empty climate policies to
   comply with international commitments, since when it comes to demanding
   the jurisdictional protection of human rights in the context of the
   climate crisis, there are a series of complications rooted in the
   evidentiary capacity that governs any judicial procedure. The
   conclusions section contains both a synthesis of the different sections
   of this article, as well as a series of legally and socially viable
   proposals that contribute to the knowledge of climate change, its
   different impacts, policies for prevention and adaptation to the risks
   of extreme meteorological phenomena and, if necessary, keys that
   reinforce the path towards climate litigation.},

   Methods This study took place from May 2015 to October 2018 in two
   cities in Kazakhstan. We screened 763 participants for eligibility and
   enrolled 354 FSW who use drugs. Participants were randomized in cohorts
   to receive either a four-session HIVRR intervention, or that same
   intervention plus 30 additional sessions of financial literacy training,
   vocational training and asset-building through a matched-savings
   programme. Repeated behavioural and biological assessments were
   conducted at baseline, 3-, 6- and 12-months post-intervention.
   Biological and behavioural primary outcomes included HIV/STI incidence,
   sexual risk behaviours and drug use risk behaviours, evaluated over the
   12-month period.
   Results Over the 12-month follow-up period, few differences in study
   outcomes were noted between arms. There was only one newly-detected HIV
   case, and study arms did not significantly differ on any STI incidence.
   At post-intervention assessments compared to baseline, both HIVRR and
   HIVRR + MF participants significantly reduced sexual and drug use risk
   behaviours, and showed improvements in financial outcomes, condom use
   attitudes and self-efficacy, social support, and access to medical care.
   In addition, HIVRR + MF participants showed a 72\% greater reduction in
   the number of unprotected sex acts with paying partners at the six-month
   assessment (IRR = IRR = 0.28, 95\% CI = 0.08, 0.92), and a 10\% greater
   reduction in the proportion of income from sex work at the three-month
   assessment (b = -0.10, 95\% CI = -0.17, -0.02) than HIVRR participants
   did. HIVRR + MF participants also showed significantly improved
   performance on financial self-efficacy compared to HIVRR over the
   12-month follow-up period.
   Conclusions Compared to a combination HIVRR + MF intervention, a robust
   HIVRR intervention alone may be sufficient to reduce sexual and drug
   risk behaviours among FSW who use drugs. There may be structural
   limitations to the promise of microfinance for HIV risk reduction among
   this population.},

Title = {Harnessing foreign aid for the poor: role of institutional democracy},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC STUDIES},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {47},
Number = {7},
Pages = {1689-1710},
Month = {OCT 26},
Abstract = {Purpose This paper examines the relationship between foreign aid,
   institutional democracy and poverty. The paper explores the direct
   effect of foreign aid on poverty and quantifies the facilitating role of
   democracy in harnessing foreign aid for poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan
   Africa (SSA). Design/methodology/approach The paper attempts to address
   the endogenous relationship between foreign aid and poverty by employing
   the two-stage least squares instrumental variable (2SLS-IV) estimator by
   using GDP per capita of the top five Organization for Economic
   Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries sending foreign aid to SSA
   countries scaled by the inverse of the land area of the SSA countries to
   stimulate an exogenous variation in foreign aid and its components. The
   initial level of democracy is interacted with the senders' GDP per
   capita to also instrument for the interaction terms of democracy,
   foreign aid and its components. Findings The results suggest that
   foreign aid reduces poverty and different components of foreign aid have
   different effects on poverty. In particular, multilateral source and
   grant type seem to be more significant in reducing poverty than
   bilateral source and loan type. The study further reveals that
   democratic attributes of free expression, institutional constraints on
   the executive, guarantee of civil liberties to citizens and political
   participation reinforce the poverty-reducing effects of aggregate
   foreign aid and its components after controlling for mean household
   income, GDP per capita and inequality. Research limitations/implications
   The methodological concern related to modeling the effects of foreign
   aid on poverty is endogeneity bias. To estimate the relationship between
   foreign aid, democracy and poverty in SSA, this paper relies on a
   2SLS-IV estimator with GDP per capita of the top five aid-sending OECD
   countries scaled by the inverse of land area of the SSA countries as an
   external instrument for foreign aid. The use of the five top OECD's
   Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC) countries is due to the
   availability of foreign aid data for these countries. However,
   non-OECD-DAC countries such as China and South Africa may be important
   source of foreign aid to some SSA countries. Practical implications The
   findings further suggest that the marginal effect of foreign aid in
   reducing poverty is increasing with the level of institutional
   democracy. In other words, foreign aid contributes more to poverty
   reduction in countries with democratic dispensation. This investigation
   has vital implications for future foreign aid policy, because it alerts
   policymakers that the effectiveness of foreign aid can be strengthened
   by considering the type and source of aid. Foreign aid and quality
   political institution may serve as an important mix toward the
   achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and the Africa
   Union Agenda 2063. Social implications As the global economy faces
   economic and social challenges, SSA may not be able to depend heavily on
   foreign partners to finance the region's budget. There is the need for
   African governments to also come out with innovative ways to mobilize
   own resources to develop and confront some of the economic challenges to
   achieve the required reduction in poverty. This is a vision that every
   country in Africa must work toward. Africa must think of new ways of
   generating wealth internally for development so as to complement foreign
   aid flows and also build strong foundation for welfare improvement,
   self-reliance and sustainable development.
   Originality/value This existing literature does not consider how
   democracy enhances the foreign aid and poverty relationship. The
   existing literature does not explore how democracy enhances grants,
   loans, multilateral and bilateral aid effectiveness in reducing poverty.
   This paper provides the first-hand evidence of how institutional
   democracy enhances the poverty-reducing effects of foreign aid and its
   components. The paper uses exogenous variation in foreign aid to
   quantify the direct effect of foreign aid and its components on poverty.},

Title = {Hypertension management in rural primary care facilities in Zambia: a
   mixed methods study},
Journal = {BMC HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {17},
Month = {FEB 3},
Abstract = {Background: Improved primary health care is needed in developing
   countries to effectively manage the growing burden of hypertension. Our
   objective was to evaluate hypertension management in Zambian rural
   primary care clinics using process and outcome indicators to assess the
   screening, monitoring, treatment and control of high blood pressure.
   Methods: Better Health Outcomes through Mentoring and Assessment (BHOMA)
   is a 5-year, randomized steppedwedge trial of improved clinical service
   delivery underway in 46 rural Zambian clinics. Clinical data were
   collected as part of routine patient care from an electronic medical
   record system, and reviewed for site performance over time according to
   hypertension related indicators: screening (blood pressure measurement),
   management (recorded diagnosis, physical exam or urinalysis), treatment
   (on medication), and control. Quantitative data was used to develop
   guides for qualitative in-depth interviews, conducted with health care
   providers at a proportional sample of half (20) of clinics. Qualitative
   data was iteratively analyzed for thematic content.
   Results: From January 2011 to December 2014, 318,380 visits to 46
   primary care clinics by adults aged >= 25 years with blood pressure
   measurements were included. Blood pressure measurement at vital sign
   screening was initially high at 89. 1\% overall (range: 70.1-100\%), but
   decreased to 62.1\% (range: 0-100\%) by 48 months after intervention
   start. The majority of hypertensive patients made only one visit to the
   clinics (57.8\%). Out of 9022 patients with at least two visits with an
   elevated blood pressure, only 49.3\% had a chart recorded hypertension
   diagnosis. Process indicators for monitoring hypertension were < 10\%
   and did not improve with time. In in-depth interviews, antihypertensive
   medication shortages were common, with 15/20 clinics reporting
   hydrochlorothiazide-amiloride stockouts. Principal challenges in
   hypertension management included 1) equipment and personnel shortages,
   2) provider belief that multiple visits were needed before official
   management, 3) medication stock-outs, leading to improper prescriptions
   and 4) poor patient visit attendance.
   Conclusions: Our findings suggest that numerous barriers stand in the
   way of hypertension diagnosis and management in Zambian primary health
   facilities. Future work should focus on performance indicator
   development and validation in low resource contexts, to facilitate
   regular and systematic data review to improve patient outcomes.},

Title = {Designing and evaluating an interprofessional education conference
   approach to antimicrobial education},
Journal = {BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {20},
Number = {1},
Month = {OCT 13},
Abstract = {Background Arguably, Medical School curricula are deficient in learning
   opportunities related to the safe and effective use of medicines, in
   particular antimicrobials. Infection management is complex and
   multidisciplinary, and learning opportunities should reflect these
   principles. Aligned to the complexity of the subject matter, simulation
   and interprofessional based teaching are methods that can foster the
   collaborative skills required of future healthcare professionals. There
   have been calls to develop these methods in the teaching of safe
   prescribing and the management of infections; however, reports of such
   studies are limited. Methods We developed an interprofessional education
   (IPE) conference for second year undergraduate medical and pharmacy
   students based in the North East of England. We considered contact
   theory in the design of three small group interprofessional workshops,
   on the broad themes of antimicrobial stewardship, infection management
   and patient safety. A mixed methods approach assessed students'
   attitudes towards IPE, barriers and facilitators of learning, and
   perceived learning gains. Qualitative data from workshop evaluation
   forms were analysed thematically, while quantitative data were analysed
   descriptively and differences between medical and pharmacy cohorts
   analysed using unpaired two-tailed t-tests. Results 226/352 students
   returned the workshop evaluation forms (66\% of pharmacy students, 62\%
   of medical students). 281/352 students responded to a series of Likert
   scale questions on the value of interprofessional education (88\% of
   pharmacy students, 70\% of medical students). Students reported
   acquisition of knowledge and skills, including concepts and procedures
   related to infection management and antimicrobial prescribing, and the
   development of problem-solving and critical evaluation skills. Students
   reflected on their attitude towards interprofessional collaboration.
   They reported a greater understanding of the roles of other healthcare
   professionals, reflected on the importance of effective communication in
   ensuring patient safety, and were more confident to work in
   interprofessional teams after the conference. Conclusions A robust IPE
   event, theoretically underpinned by contact theory and developed
   collaboratively, achieved interprofessional learning at scale and helped
   develop healthcare professionals willing to collaborate across
   disciplines. The resources, and evaluation insights based on the 3P
   (presage, process, and product) model of learning and teaching, will be
   of value to other educators who seek to develop theoretically-sound IPE
   interventions.},

Abstract = {The employment of renewable resources and their association with the
   real economy's growth in mitigating the problem of carbon emission risk
   has been debated in the literature in a specific group of countries and
   regions. However, their relations and effects for a better sustainable
   energy transmission would need further research works in an
   international context. Motivated by that reason, this study contributes
   to the ongoing literature by revisiting the effects of renewable energy
   consumption, electricity output, and economic activities on carbon risk
   using a global sample of 219 countries over the period of 1990-2020.
   Using GMM estimation, simultaneous quantile, and panel quantile
   estimations; the study finds supportive findings showing that the higher
   the countries with renewable energy consumption and electricity output
   the better the capacity those countries can mitigate the environmental
   degradation by reducing the amount of total carbon emission over time.
   However, those relations are changed when using system GMM approaches,
   implying the role of FDI inflows and the difference in income groups in
   the selected sample countries. This can be intuitively explained that
   emerging countries might give more priority to the economic growth
   receiving FDI inflows from more advanced economies and balancing the
   trade-off between economic growth and environmental protection, while
   the developed economies with their advantages in green technologies and
   financial flexibility might have higher advantages in acquiring a
   sustainable transition and maintaining the real economy's growth without
   significant trade-off concerns. Finally, the study provides important
   policy implications and avenues for further research.},

Journal = {EMERGENCY MEDICINE INTERNATIONAL},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {2019},
Month = {DEC 1},
Abstract = {Background. Tanzania has no formal prehospital system. The Tanzania
   Ministry of Health launched a formal prehospital system to address this
   gap. The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) was
   tasked by the Ministry of Health to develop and implement a
   multicadre/provider prehospital curriculum so as to produce necessary
   healthcare providers to support the prehospital system. We aim to
   describe the process of designing and implementing the
   multicadre/provider prehospital short courses. The lessons learned can
   help inform similar initiatives in low- and middle-income countries.
   Methods. MUHAS collaborated with local and international Emergency
   Medicine and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) specialists to form the
   Emergency Medical Systems Team (EMST) that developed and implemented
   four short courses on prehospital care. The EMST used a six-step
   approach to develop and implement the curriculum: problem
   identification, general needs assessment, targeted needs assessment,
   goals and objectives, educational strategies, and implementation. The
   EMST modified current best EMS practices, protocols, and curricula to be
   context and resource appropriate in Tanzania. Results. We developed four
   prehospital short courses: Basic Ambulance Provider (BAP), Basic
   Ambulance Attendant (BAAT), Community First Aid (CFA), and EMS
   Dispatcher courses. The curriculum was vetted and approved by MUHAS, and
   courses were launched in November 2018. By the end of July 2019, a total
   of 63 BAPs, 104 BAATs, 25 EMS Dispatchers, and 287 CFAs had graduated
   from the programs. The main lessons learned are the importance of a
   practical approach to EMS development and working with the existing
   government cadre/provider scheme to ensure sustainability of the
   project; clearly defining scope of practice of EMS providers before
   curriculum development; and concurrent development of a
   multicadre/provider curriculum to better address the logistical barriers
   of implementation. Conclusion. We have provided an overview of the
   process of designing and implementing four short courses to train
   multiple cadres/providers of prehospital system providers in Tanzania.
   We believe this model of curricula development and implementation can be
   replicated in other countries across Africa.},

   in capacity-building programmes based on site-based training, mentoring,
   and operational research. This systematic review aims to review the
   effectiveness of site-based training, mentoring, and operational
   research (or action research) on the improvement of district health
   system management and leadership. Our secondary objectives are to assess
   whether variations in composition or intensity of the intervention
   influence its effectiveness and to identify enabling and constraining
   contexts and underlying mechanisms.
   Methods: We will search the following databases: MEDLINE, PsycInfo,
   Cochrane Library, CRD database (DARE), Cochrane Effective Practice and
   Organisation of Care (EPOC) group, ISI Web of Science, Health Evidence.
   org, PDQ-Evidence, ERIC, EMBASE, and TRIP. Complementary search will be
   performed (hand-searching journals and citation and reference tracking).
   Studies that meet the following PICO (Population, Intervention,
   Comparison, Outcome) criteria will be included: P: professionals working
   at district health management level; I: site-based training with or
   without mentoring, or operational research; C: normal institutional
   arrangements; and O: district health management functions. We will
   include cluster randomized controlled trials, controlled
   before-and-after studies, interrupted time series analysis,
   quasi-experimental designs, and cohort and longitudinal studies.
   Qualitative research will be included to contextualize findings and
   identify barriers and facilitators.
   Primary outcomes that will be reported are district health management
   and leadership functions. We will assess risk of bias with the Cochrane
   Collaboration's tools for randomized controlled trials (RCT) and non RCT
   studies and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklists for
   qualitative studies. We will assess strength of recommendations with the
   GRADE tool for quantitative studies, and the CERQual approach for
   qualitative studies. Synthesis of quantitative studies will be performed
   through meta-analysis when appropriate. Best fit framework synthesis
   will be used to synthesize qualitative studies.
   Discussion: This protocol paper describes a systematic review assessing
   the effectiveness of site-based training (with or without mentoring
   programmes or operational research) on the improvement of district
   health system management and leadership.},

Abstract = {Current primary care in Finland is based on the Primary Health Care Act
   (1972), which addressed numerous new tasks to all municipalities. All of
   them had to find a new health centre organization, which provides a wide
   range of health services, including prevention and public health
   promotion. Multiple tasks require multiprofessional staff, and thus, the
   Finnish health centre personnel consisted not only of GPs but of public
   health nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, psychologists, social
   workers, dentists, etc. During the next decade, there have been some
   changes but the idea of multiprofessional structure has remained.
   According to the QUALICOPC study (2012) Finnish GPs are still co-located
   with several other healthcare professionals compared to most of the
   European countries; even compared to other Nordic countries which
   otherwise have many similarities in their primary healthcare. During the
   last 10 or 15 years, healthcare providers and researchers have
   recognized a new challenge: our current systems do not meet the needs of
   patients with multiple health and social problems-and the proportion of
   these patients is increasing all the time as the population is getting
   older. One could suppose that preconditions of handling multimorbidity
   would be excellent in multiprofessional surroundings like ours, but
   actually, a person with multiple problems is a challenge there, too.
   Multiprofessional organization in primary care does not guarantee proper
   care of patients with multiple diseases, if we do not acknowledge the
   challenge and revise our systems. We have to develop new ways of
   collaboration and new models of integrated care. The problematic part is
   secondary care, which is organized with logic of one medical speciality
   per visit. In Tampere University Hospital district, we have created a
   care pathway model, which defines the roles of primary healthcare and
   secondary care. Nationwide, we have recently started to prepare national
   guidelines for the care of patients with multimorbidity. What we need
   more in the future is more research on new practices and models.
   Background: Most patients with antihypertensive medication do not
   achieve their blood pressure (BP) target. Several barriers to successful
   hypertension treatment are well identified but we need novel ways of
   addressing them. Research question: Can using a checklist improve the
   quality of care in the initiation of new antihypertensive medication?
   Methods: This non-blinded, cluster-randomized, controlled study was
   conducted in eight primary care study centres in central Finland,
   randomized to function as either intervention (n = 4) or control sites
   (n = 4). We included patients aged 30-75 years who were prescribed
   antihypertensive medication for the first time. Initiation of medication
   in the intervention group was carried out with a nine-item checklist,
   filled in together by the treating physician and the patient. The
   treating physician managed hypertension treatment in the control group
   without a study-specific protocol. Results: In total, 119 patients were
   included in the study, of which 118 were included in the analysis (n =
   59 in the control group, n = 59 in the intervention group). When
   initiating medication, an adequate BP target was set for 19\% of the
   patients in the control group and for 68\% in the intervention group.
   Shortly after the appointment, only 14\% of the patients in the control
   group were able to remember the adequate BP target, compared with 32\%
   in the intervention group. The use of the checklist was also related to
   more regular agreement on the next follow-up appointment (64\% in the
   control group vs 95\% in the intervention group). Conclusion: Even
   highly motivated new hypertensive patients in Finnish primary care have
   significant gaps in their treatment-related skills. The use of a
   checklist for initiation of antihypertensive medication was related to
   substantial improvement in these skills. Based on our findings, the use
   of a checklist might be a practical tool for clinicians initiating new
   antihypertensive medications.
   Background: Immediate feedback is underused in the French medical
   education curriculum, specifically with video-recorded consultation.
   Research question: The objective of this study was to evaluate the
   feasibility and the interest in this teaching method as a training and
   assessment tool in the learning process of general practitioner (GP)
   trainees. Methods: During the period November 2017 to October 2018,
   trainees in ambulatory training courses collected quantitative data
   about recording consultations with a video camera: numbers of
   recordings, feedback, patients' participation refusals, and information
   about the learning process and competencies. The trainees' level of
   satisfaction was measured by means of a questionnaire at the end of
   their traineeship. Results: Sixty-seven trainees were recruited and 44
   of them 65.7\% actively participated in the study; 607 video recordings
   and 243 feedback with trainers were performed. Few patients (18.5\%)
   refused the video-recording. Most trainees considered video recording
   with immediate feedback to be a relevant learning tool. It made it
   possible for the participants to observe their difficulties and their
   achievements. `Relation, communication, patient-centred care' was the
   most built competency, non-verbal communication, in particular. Time was
   the main limiting factor of this teaching method. Most trainees were in
   favour of its generalization in their university course. Conclusion:
   Video recording with immediate feedback in real-time consultation needs
   to be adapted to training areas and depends on time and logistics. This
   teaching method seems to be useful in the development of communication
   skills. It could lift the barriers of the trainer's physical presence
   near GP trainees during immediate feedback in real-time consultation. It
   could help trainees to build their competencies while enhancing the
   place of immediate feedback in the general practice curriculum. It could
   also constitute an additional tool for the certification of GP trainees.
   Background: Perinatal depression has been associated with psychiatric
   morbidity in mothers and their offspring. This study assessed the
   prevalence of perinatal depressive symptoms in a large population of
   women and investigated associations of these symptoms with demographic
   and clinical factors. Research question: Which factors (including
   sociodemographic, medical, lifestyle, and laboratory test) are
   associated with perinatal depression? Methods: All members of Maccabi
   Health Services who completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
   (EPDS) during 2015-2016 were included in the study. Odds ratios (ORs)
   were calculated for associations of sociodemographic, medical,
   lifestyle, and laboratory test factors with perinatal depressive
   symptoms, according to a score >10 on the EPDS. Results: Of 27 912 women
   who filled the EPDS, 2029 (7.3\%) were classified as having peripartum
   depression. In a logistic regression analysis, the use of antidepressant
   medications, particularly for a period greater than three months, Arab
   background, current or past smoking, a diagnosis of chronic diabetes and
   age under 25 years were all associated with increased ORs for perinatal
   depression; while Orthodox Jewish affiliation, residence in the
   periphery and higher haemoglobin level were associated with lower ORs.
   Incidences of depression were 17.4\% in women with a history of
   antidepressant medication, 16\% among women with diabetes, and 11.8\%
   among current smokers. Conclusion: Several demographic, medical, and
   lifetime factors were found to be substantially more prevalent among
   women with symptoms of perinatal depression than those without.
   Encouraging women to complete the EPDS during and following pregnancy
   may help identify women in need of support.
   Background: Regulating the quality and effectiveness of the work of
   general practitioners is essential for a sound healthcare system. In the
   Republic of Macedonia this is regulated by the Health Insurance Fund
   through a system of penalties/sanctions. Research question: The goal of
   this study is to evaluate the types and effectiveness of the sanctions
   used on primary care practitioners. Methods: This is a quantitative
   research study for which we used an anonymous survey with 18 questions.
   This survey was distributed to 443 randomly selected general
   practitioners from different parts of Macedonia and 438 of them
   responded. For the quantitative data, we used the Pearson's chi-squared
   test, correlation and descriptive statistics. Part of the survey is
   qualitative, consisting of comments and opinions of the general
   practitioners. Results: From the participants, 336 were female and 102
   were male. The doctors' gender was not associated with sanctioning. Most
   general practitioners were in the age categories of 30-39 and 40-49
   years. The participants' age had a significant influence on
   sanctioning-older doctors were sanctioned more frequently. Out of 438
   participants, 33.3\% were specialists in family medicine and 66.7\%
   general practitioners. Specialists in family medicine were sanctioned
   significantly more frequently than general practitioners. Doctors that
   worked in the hospital or 19 km from the nearest hospital were
   significantly more frequently sanctioned. The three most common reasons
   for sanctions were financial consumption of prescriptions and referrals
   above the agreed amount, higher rate of sick leaves and/or justification
   of sick leaves and unrealized preventative goals or education.
   `Financial sanction by scale' was the most common type of sanction:
   49.8\% of participants. Doctors who followed the guidelines, but who
   were exposed to violence were sanctioned significantly more frequently.
   Conclusion: We can observe that age, speciality, the distance of the
   workplace from the nearest hospital and violence influence sanctioning.
   Background: Biases are major barriers to external validity of studies,
   reducing evidence. Among these biases, the definition and the reality of
   the Hawthorne effect (HE) (or observation bias) remains controversial.
   According to McCambridge in a review from 2013, the Hawthorne effect is
   a behaviour change occurring when the subject is being observed during a
   scientific study. This effect would be multifactorial, and he suggests
   the term `effects of research participation.' However, the reviewed
   studies were conflicting and evidence is sparse. Research question: We
   updated McCambridge's review to actualize the definition of the HE.
   Methods: McCambridge's most recent article dated back to January 3,
   2012. We focused on the articles published between January 1, 2012 and
   August 10, 2018 searching Medline. We used the sole keyword `Hawthorne
   Effect.' The search was filtered based on the dates, the availability of
   an abstract and the languages English and French. We included articles
   defining or evaluating the HE. Articles citing the effect without
   defining it or irrelevant to the topic were excluded. Two independent
   readers searched and analysed the articles. Discrepancies were solved by
   consensus. Results: Out of 106 articles, 42 articles were included. All
   the articles acknowledged an observation bias, considered as significant
   or not, depending on the population (education, literacy), the methods
   and the variable of interest. It was a psychological change, limited in
   time. The HE was defined as a change of behaviour related to direct or
   indirect observation of the subjects or the investigators, to their
   previous selection and commitment in the study (written agreement) and
   to social desirability. Despite observations, articles were conflicting.
   Some do confirm the existence of the HE, others deny it. Meta-analysis
   is ongoing. Conclusion: No formal consensus regarding the definition of
   the effect has been reached so far. However, the authors agree on its
   implication as an experimental artefact.
   Background: Polypharmacy and multimorbidity are on the rise.
   Consequently, general practitioners (GPs) treat an increasing number of
   multimorbid patients with polypharmacy. To limit negative health
   outcomes, GPs should search for inappropriate medication intake in such
   patients. However, systematic medication reviews are time-consuming.
   Recent eHealth tools, such as the `systematic tool to reduce
   inappropriate prescribing' (STRIP) assistant, provide an opportunity for
   GPs to get support when conducting such medication reviews. Research
   question: Can the STRIP assistant as electronic decision support help
   GPs to optimize medication appropriateness in older, multimorbid
   patients with polypharmacy? Methods: This cluster randomized controlled
   trial is conducted in 40 Swiss GP practices, each recruiting 8-10
   patients aged >= 65 years, with >= 3 chronic conditions and >= 5 chronic
   medications (320 patients in total). We compare the effectiveness of
   using the STRIP assistant for optimizing medication appropriateness to
   usual care. The STRIP assistant is based on the STOPP/START criteria
   (version 2) and, for this trial, it is implemented in the Swiss eHealth
   setting where some GPs already share routine medical data from their
   electronic medical records in a research database (FIRE). Patients are
   followed-up for 12 months and the change in medication appropriateness
   is the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes are the numbers of falls and
   fractures, quality of life, health economic parameters, patients'
   willingness to deprescribe as well as implementation barriers and
   enablers for GPs when using the STRIP assistant. Results: Patient
   recruitment started in December 2018. This presentation focuses on the
   study protocol and the challenges faced when testing this new software
   in Swiss primary care. Conclusion: Finding out whether the STRIP
   assistant is an effective tool and beneficial for older and multimorbid
   patients, who are usually excluded from trials, will have an impact on
   the coordination of chronic care for multimorbid patients in Swiss
   primary care in this new eHealth environment.
   Background: Workplace violence (WPV) towards healthcare staff is
   becoming a common problem in different healthcare settings worldwide.
   Moreover, the prevalence is 16 times higher than in other professions.
   How often it happened towards young doctors working as general
   practitioners (GPs) at the beginning of their careers has been rarely
   studied. Research question: To investigate the frequency and forms of
   WPV, experienced by the young Croatian GPs from their patients, and
   violence reporting pattern to the competent institutions. Methods: The
   cross-sectional study was carried out on 74 GP residents, during their
   postgraduate study in family medicine in May 2018. A specially designed
   anonymous questionnaire, developed by Association of Family Physicians
   of South Eastern Europe, was used to investigate the prevalence and
   forms of WPV, the narrative description of the traumatic event itself
   and the process of reporting it. Results: The response rate was 91.9\%,
   female 87\%, the median of years working as a GP was 3.5 years. Most of
   the residents were working in an urban practice (63\%), others in the
   rural and the suburban once (27\%, 10\%). All GP residents experienced
   patients' and caregivers' violent behaviour directed towards them.
   High-intensity violence (e.g. physical violence, sexual harassment) was
   experienced by 44\%, middle intensity (e.g. intimidation, visual sexual
   harassment) by 84\% while all residents experienced verbal violence.
   Only 13.2\% residents reported WPV to the competent institutions. Most
   of GP residents reported the appearance of the new form of violence: the
   one over the internet. Conclusion: The high prevalence of all types of
   violence towards young Croatian doctors is worrisome, as is the fact
   that violent acts are seldom reported to the competent institutions.
   Those alarming facts could become a threat to GPs career choosing.
   Background: About 50\% of patients adhere to chronic therapy in France.
   Improving adherence should improve their care. Identifying the patient's
   difficulties in taking medication is complex for the physician, because
   there is no gold standard for measuring adherence to medications. How
   can the general practitioner in his/her practice identify patient
   compliance? Research question: Analyse studies that develop or validate
   scales used to estimate adherence in primary care. Methods: A systematic
   review of the literature from PubMed, the Cochrane Library and PsycINFO
   databases. The search terms used were the MeSH terms (or adapted to the
   database's vocabulary): questionnaire, compliance and primary care. All
   articles were retained whatever the language of writing. Selection
   criteria were: assessment of the development, validation or reliability
   of one or more compliance scales; taking place in primary care. One
   reviewer screened titles, which included the term adherence then
   abstracts and full text. Only articles evaluating the development,
   validity or reliability of a primary care adherence rating scale were
   included in analysis. Results: In total 1022 articles were selected and
   18 articles were included. Seventeen adherence scales were identified in
   primary care, most of which targeted a single pathology, especially
   hypertension. The most cited scale is the MMAS Morisky medication
   adherence scale. Three scales were developed for patients with multiple
   chronic diseases. One scale was developed for patients older than 65
   years-the Strathclyde compliance risk assessment tool (SCRAT)-and two
   scales were developed for adult patients whatever their age-the
   instrument developed by Sidorkiewicz et al., and the DAMS, diagnostic
   adherence to medication scale. Conclusion: Two scales have been
   developed and validated in primary care to assess patient adherence with
   multiple chronic diseases: the DAMS and the instrument developed by
   Sidorkiewicz et al. A simple, reliable, reproducible primary care scale
   would assess the impact of actions developed to improve adherence:
   motivational interviewing, patient therapeutic education, and the ASALeE
   protocol.
   Background: Multimorbidity prevalence increases with age while declining
   quality of life (QoL) is one of its major consequences. Research
   question: The study aims to: (1) Assess the relationship between
   increasing number of diseases and QoL. (2) Identify the most frequently
   occurring patterns of diseases and how they relate to QoL. (3) Observe
   how these associations differ across different European countries and
   regions. Methods: Cross-sectional data analysis performed on wave six of
   the population-based survey of health, ageing and retirement in Europe
   (SHARE) (n = 68 231). Data were collected in 2015 among population 50+
   years old in 17 European countries and Israel. Multimorbidity is defined
   as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions. Conditions were
   self-declared and identified through an open-end questionnaire
   containing 17 prelisted conditions plus conditions added by
   participants. Control, autonomy, self-realization and pleasure
   questionnaire (CASP-12v) was used to evaluate QoL. Association between
   increasing number of diseases and QoL was assessed with linear
   regression. Factor analysis is being conducted to identify patterns of
   diseases to evaluate their impact on QoL further. Multilevel analysis
   will take into account differences between countries and regions.
   Confounding was searched with directed acyclic graph (DAG) method and
   included age, sex, education, socio-economic status, behavioural habits,
   social support and healthcare parameters. Results: Participants
   (49.09\%) had two or more diseases. Maximum number of diseases per
   person was 13, mean number was 1.9. Unadjusted preliminary analysis
   showed that on average QoL decreases by -1.27 (95\%CI: -1.29, -1.24)
   with each added new condition across Europe. The decline appears to be
   the steepest in Spain, -1.61 (95\%CI: -1.71, -1.51), and the least so in
   Israel, -0.67 (95\%CI: -0.82, -0.52). Conclusion: Ongoing analysis will
   identify disease patterns, which may have the highest impact on QoL, as
   well as to elucidate the role of confounders in the relationship between
   increasing number of diseases and disease patterns with QoL.
   Background: The burden and preventive potential of disease is typically
   estimated for each non-communicable disease (NCD) separately but NCDs
   often co-occur, which hampers reliable quantification of their overall
   burden and joint preventive potential in the population. Research
   questions: What is the lifetime risk of developing any NCD? Which
   multimorbidity clusters of NCDs cause the greatest burden? To what
   extent do three key shared risk factors, namely smoking, hypertension
   and being overweight, influence this risk, life-expectancy and
   NCD-multimorbidity? Methods: Between 1990 and 2012 we followed NCD-free
   participants aged >= 45 years at baseline from the Dutch prospective
   Rotterdam study for incidents of stroke, heart disease, diabetes,
   chronic respiratory disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. We
   quantified (co-)occurrence and remaining lifetime risk of NCDs in a
   competing risk framework, and studied the effects of smoking,
   hypertension, and being overweight on lifetime risk and life expectancy.
   Results: During follow-up of 9061 participants, 814 participants were
   diagnosed with stroke, 1571 with heart disease, 625 with diabetes, 1004
   with chronic respiratory disease, 1538 with cancer, and 1065 with
   neurodegenerative disease. Among those, 1563 participants (33.7\%) were
   diagnosed with multiple diseases. The lifetime risk of any NCD from the
   age of 45 onwards was 94.0\% (95\%CI: 92.9-95.1) for men and 92.8\%
   (95\%CI: 91.8-93.8) for women. Absence of shared risk factors was
   associated with a 9.0-year delay (95\%CI: 6.3-11.6) in the age at onset
   of any NCD. Furthermore, overall life expectancy for participants
   without risk factors was 6.0 years (95\%CI: 5.7-7.9) longer than those
   with these risk factors. Participants without these risk factors spent
   21.6\% of their remaining lifetime with NCDs, compared to 31.8\% for
   those with risk factors. Conclusion: Nine out of 10 individuals aged 45
   years and older will develop at least one NCD during their remaining
   lifetime. A third was diagnosed with multiple NCDs during follow-up.
   Absence of three common shared risk factors related to compression of
   morbidity of NCDs.
   Background: This study examined if using electronic reminders increases
   the rate of diagnosis recordings in the patient chart system following
   visits to a general practitioner (GP). The impact of electronic
   reminders was studied in the primary care of a Finnish city. Research
   question: How effective is the reminder of the information system in
   improving the diagnostic level of primary care? Which is better and how:
   financial incentives or reminders? Methods: This was an observational
   retrospective study based on a before-and-after design and was carried
   out by installing an electronic reminder in the computerized patient
   chart system to improve the recording of diagnoses during GP visits. The
   quality of the recorded diagnoses was observed before and after the
   intervention. The effect of this intervention on the recording of
   diagnoses was also studied. Results: Before intervention, the level of
   recording diagnoses was about 40\% in the primary care units. After four
   years, the recording rate had risen to 90\% (p < 0.001). The rate of
   change in the recording of diagnoses was highest during the first year
   of intervention. In the present study, most of the visits concerned mild
   respiratory infections, elevated blood pressure, low back pain and type
   II diabetes. Conclusion: An electronic reminder improved the recording
   of diagnoses during the visits to GPs. The present intervention produced
   data, which reflects the distribution of diagnoses in real clinical life
   in primary care and thus provides valid data about the public.
   Background: Child abuse is widespread, occurs in all cultures and
   communities and remains undiscovered in 90\% of the cases. In total,
   80\% of reported child abuse concerns emotional ill-treatment. In the
   Netherlands, at least 3\% (118 000) of children are victims of child
   abuse resulting in 50 deaths each year. Only 1-3\% of abuse cases are
   reported by general practitioners (GPs) to the Child Protective Services
   agency (CPS). To explain this low reporting rate, we examined GPs'
   experiences with child abuse. Research question: How does the suspicion
   of child abuse arise in GPs' diagnostic reasoning? How do they act upon
   their suspicion and what kind of barriers do they experience in their
   management? Methods: In total 26 GPs (16 female) participated in four
   focus groups. We used purposive sampling to include GPs with different
   levels of experience in rural and urban areas spread over the
   Netherlands. We used NVivo for thematic content analysis. Results:
   Suspected child abuse arose based on common triggers and a gut feeling
   that `something is wrong here'. GPs acted upon their suspicion by
   gathering more data by history taking and physical examination. They
   often found it challenging to decide whether a child was abused because
   parents, despite their good intentions, may lack parenting skills and
   differ in their norms and values. GPs reported clear signs of sexual
   abuse and physical violence to CPS. However, in less clear-cut cases
   they followed-up and built a supporting network around the family. Most
   GPs highly valued the patient-doctor relationship while recognizing the
   risk of pushing boundaries. Conclusion: A low child abuse reporting rate
   by GPs to CPS does not mean a low detection rate. GPs use patients'
   trust in their doctor to improve a child's situation by involving other
   professionals.
   Background: The number of people suffering from multiple chronic
   conditions, multimorbidity, is rising. For society, multimorbidity is
   known to increase healthcare expenses through more frequent contacts,
   especially with the primary sector. For the individual, an increasing
   number of medical conditions are associated with lower quality of life
   (QoL). However, there is no statistically validated condition-specific
   patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for the assessment of QoL among
   patients with multimorbidity. A validated PROM is essential in order to
   measure effect in intervention studies for this patient group. Research
   question: (1) To identify items covering QoL among patients with
   multimorbidity in a Danish context. (2) To develop and validate a PROM
   for assessment of QoL among patients with multimorbidity. (3) To utilize
   the final PROM in a large group of patients with multimorbidity to
   measure their QoL when living with different combinations and severity
   of multimorbidity. Methods: Phase 1: qualitative individual and focus
   group interviews with patients with multimorbidity to identify relevant
   QoL items. Phase 2: validation of the items through a draft
   questionnaire sent by email to around 200-400 patients with
   multimorbidity. Phase 3: psychometric validation of the draft
   questionnaire securing items with the highest possible measurement
   quality. Phase 4: assessment of QoL among approximately 2000 patients
   with multimorbidity from the Danish Lolland-Falster study. Results:
   There are no results yet. Currently, the interview guide is under
   development. Conclusion: Despite the rising number of patients with
   multimorbidity and the known inverse relationship between a patient's
   number of medical conditions and their quality of life, there is no
   statistically validated condition-specific PROM for assessment of QoL
   among this group. Our aim is that this project's developed and validated
   PROM will be used in future intervention studies as a valid measure of
   QoL among patients with multimorbidity.
   Background: Through a systematic review of the literature and
   qualitative research across Europe, the European General Practitioners
   Research Network (EGPRN) has designed and validated a comprehensive
   definition of multimorbidity. It is a concept considering all the
   biopsychosocial conditions of a patient. This concept encompasses more
   than 50 variables and is consequently difficult to use in primary care.
   Consideration of adverse outcomes (such as death or acute
   hospitalization) could help to distinguish which variables could be risk
   factors of decompensation within the definition of multimorbidity.
   Research question: Which criteria in the EGPRN concept of multimorbidity
   could detect outpatients at risk of death or acute hospitalization (i.e.
   decompensation) in a primary care cohort at 24-months of follow-up?
   Methods: Primary care outpatients (131) answering to EGPRN's
   multimorbidity definition were included by GPs, during two periods of
   inclusion in 2014 and 2015. At 24 months follow-up, the status
   `decompensation' or `nothing to report' was collected. A logistic
   regression following a Cox model was performed to achieve the survival
   analysis and to identify potential risk factors. Results: At 24 months
   follow-up, 120 patients were analysed. Three different clusters were
   identified. Forty-four patients, representing 36.6\% of the population,
   had either died or been hospitalized more than seven consecutive days.
   Two variables were significantly associated with decompensation: Number
   of GPs encounters per year (HR: 1.06; 95\%CI: 1.03-1.10, p <0.001), and
   total number of diseases (HR: 1.12; 95\%CI: 1.03-1.33; P = 0.039).
   Conclusion: To prevent death or acute hospitalization in multimorbid
   outpatients, GPs may be alert to those with high rates of GP encounters
   or a high number of illnesses. These results are consistent with others
   in medical literature.
   Background: A study of casual versus causal comorbidity in family
   medicine in three practice populations from the Netherlands, Malta and
   Serbia. Research question: (1) What is the observed comorbidity of the
   20 most common episodes of care in three countries? (2) How much of the
   observed comorbidity is likely to be casual versus causal? Methods:
   Participating family doctors (FDs) in the Netherlands, Malta and Serbia
   recorded details of all patient contacts in an episode of care structure
   using electronic medical records based on the International
   Classification of Primary Care, collecting data on all elements of the
   doctor-patient encounter, including the diagnostic labels (episode of
   care labels, EoCs). Comorbidity was measured using the odds ratio of
   both conditions being incident or rest-prevalent in the same patient in
   one-year data frames, as against not. Results: Comorbidity in family
   practice expressed as odds ratios between the 41 most prevalent (joint
   top 20) episode titles in the three populations. Specific associations
   were explored in different age groups to observe the changes in odds
   ratios with increasing age as a surrogate for a temporal or biological
   gradient. Conclusion: After applying accepted criteria for testing the
   causality of associations, it is reasonable to conclude that most of the
   observed primary care comorbidity is casual. It would be incorrect to
   assume causal relationships between co-occurring diseases in family
   medicine, even if such a relationship might be plausible or consistent
   with current conceptualizations of the causation of disease. Most
   observed comorbidity in primary care is the result of increasing illness
   diversity.
   Background: The concept of therapeutic alliance emerged in the beginning
   of the twentieth century and came from psychoanalysis. This notion was
   then extended to the somatic field and aims to replace the paternalistic
   model in the doctor-patient relationship. The EGPRN TATA group selected
   the WAI SR as the most reliable and reproducible scale to assess
   therapeutic alliance. To use it within Europe, it was necessary to
   translate it into most European languages. The following study aimed to
   assess the linguistic homogeneity of five of these translations.
   Research question: Are the translations of the WAI SR homogeneous
   between Spain, Poland, Slovenia, France and Italy? Methods:
   Forward-backward translations were achieved in five participating
   countries (Spain, Poland, France, Slovenia and Italy). Using a Delphi
   procedure, a global homogeneity check was then performed by comparing
   the five backward translations during a physical meeting involving GP
   teachers/researchers from many European countries; the heterogeneity of
   the participants' origins was a token of reliability. Results: In the
   assessment of the five translations, 107 experts participated. A
   consensus was obtained in one to two Delphi rounds for each. During the
   `homogeneity check,' some discrepancies were noted with the original
   version and were discussed with the local teams. This last stage
   permitted to highlight cultural discrepancies and real translation
   issues and to correct if needed. Conclusion: Five homogeneous versions
   of the WAI SR are now available in five European languages. They will be
   helpful to evaluate therapeutic alliance at different levels: for GPs in
   daily practice, for students during the initial and continuous training,
   and for further research in these five countries.
   Background: The patient enablement instrument (PEI) is an established
   patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that reflects the quality of a
   GP appointment. It is a six-item questionnaire, addressed to the patient
   immediately after a consultation. Research question: The study aimed to
   evaluate whether a single-item measure (the Q1), based on the PEI, or a
   single question extracted from the PEI itself (the Q2) could replace the
   PEI when measuring patient enablement among Finnish healthcare centre
   patients. Methods: The study design included (1) a pilot study with
   brief interviews with the respondents, (2) a questionnaire study before
   and after a single appointment with a GP, and (3) a telephone interview
   two weeks after the appointment. The correlations between the measures
   were examined. The sensitivity, specificity and both positive and
   negative predictive values for the Q1 and the Q2 were calculated, with
   different PEI score cut-off points. Results: Altogether 483 patients
   with completed PEIs were included in the analyses. The correlations
   between the PEI and the Q1 or the Q2 were 0.48 and 0.84, respectively.
   Both the Q1 and the Q2 had high sensitivity and negative predictive
   value in relation to patients with lower enablement scores. The
   reliability coefficients were 0.24 for the Q1 and 0.76 for the Q2.
   Conclusion: The Q2 seems to be a valid and reliable way to measure
   patient enablement. The Q1 seems to be less correlated with the PEI, but
   it also has high negative predictive value in relation to low enablement
   scores.
   Multimorbidity challenges existing healthcare organization and research,
   which remains disease and single-condition focused. Basic science
   approaches to multimorbidity have the potential to identify important
   shared mechanisms by which diseases we currently think of as distinct
   might arise, but there is a pressing need for more applied and health
   services research to understand better and manage multimorbidity now.
   There are several recent clinical guidelines, which make recommendations
   for managing multimorbidity or related issues for patients such as
   polypharmacy and frailty. However, the evidence base underpinning these
   recommendations is often weak, and these guidelines, therefore, also
   help define a research agenda. A key problem for researchers and health
   services is that multimorbidity is very heterogeneous, in that
   `intermittent low back pain plus mild eczema' presents very different
   challenges to researchers and health services compared to `active
   psychosis plus severe heart failure'. Identifying important but
   tractable research questions is therefore not always straightforward.
   This presentation will identify important gaps in the evidence, and
   illustrate how they might be filled. The focus will be on two areas
   where there is consensus that better evidence is needed to inform care
   design and delivery: (1) organizational interventions to implement more
   coordinated and holistic care; and (2) interventions to improve
   medicines management in people with multimorbidity and polypharmacy.
   These illustrate both the potential for imaginative research, but also
   the scale.
   Background: The accumulation of multiple chronic diseases
   (multimorbidity) and multiple prescribed medications (polypharmacy) over
   time may influence the extent to which an individual maintains health
   and well-being in later life. Research question: This research aims to
   describe the patterns (sequence and timing) of multimorbidity and
   polypharmacy that accumulate over time among primary healthcare patients
   in Canada. Methods: Data are derived from the Canadian primary care
   sentinel surveillance network (CPCSSN) electronic medical record (EMR)
   database that holds >= 1 million longitudinal, de-identified records.
   Multimorbidity will be identified with 20 categories, cut-off points of
   >= 2 and >= 3 chronic conditions and the International Classification of
   Disease (ICD) classification system. Polypharmacy will be identified
   using the cut-off points of >= 5 and >= 10 medication classes and the
   Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system. Analyses
   will be conducted using Java and Stata 14.2 software. Results: The
   prevalence of chronic diseases and prescribed medications will be
   presented, as well as the patterns that are observed among adults and
   older adults in Canada. The most frequent patterns (combinations and
   permutations) of multimorbidity and polypharmacy will be presented,
   stratified by sex and age category. The relationships with other
   factors, such as the presence of frailty, disability or increased health
   service use, will be examined. As well, the methodological challenges to
   identifying the presence and sequence of multimorbidity and polypharmacy
   in national, longitudinal data will be discussed. Conclusion: This
   research will explore the profiles of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in
   mid- and late-life using a national, longitudinal database. These
   findings can be used strategically to inform healthcare delivery and to
   contribute to the understanding of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in
   the international literature. Reducing the burden of prescribed
   medications and the harms of polypharmacy are key tasks within the
   context of multimorbidity.
   Background: Multimorbidity and polypharmacy have become the norm for
   general practitioners (GPs). Ideally, GPs search for inappropriate
   medication and, if necessary, deprescribe. However, it remains
   challenging to deprescribe given time constraints and little backup from
   guidelines. Furthermore, barriers and enablers to deprescribing among
   patients have to be accounted for. Research question: To identify
   barriers and enablers to deprescribing in older patients with
   polypharmacy. Methods: We surveyed among patients >70 years with
   multimorbidity (>2 chronic conditions) and polypharmacy (>4 regular
   medicines). We invited Swiss GPs to recruit eligible patients, each of
   whom completed a paper-based survey on demography, medications and
   chronic conditions. We applied the revised patients' attitudes towards
   deprescribing (rPATD) questionnaire and added 12 additional questions
   and two open questions to assess barriers and enablers towards
   deprescribing. Results: We analysed the first 221 responses received so
   far and full results will be presented at the conference. Participants
   were 79.3 years in mean (SD 5.8) and 48\% female. Thirty-one percent
   lived alone, and 85\% prepared their medication themselves, all others
   required help. Seventy-six percent of participants took 5-9 regular
   medicines and 24\% took >= 10 up to 22 medicines. Participants (76\%)
   were willing to deprescribe one or more of their medicines and 78\% did
   not have any negative experience with deprescribing. Age and gender were
   not associated with their willingness to deprescribe. Important barriers
   to deprescribing were satisfaction with drugs (96\%), long-term drugs
   (56\%) and noticing positive effects when taking them (92\%). When it
   comes to deprescribing, 89\% of participants wanted as much information
   as possible on their medicines. Having a good relationship with their GP
   was a further key factor to them (85\%). Conclusion: Most older adults
   are willing to deprescribe. They would like to be informed about their
   medicines and want to discuss deprescribing to achieve shared
   decision-making with the GP they trust.
   Background: With growing populations of patients with multimorbidity,
   general practitioners need insight into which patients in their practice
   are most in need for person-centred integrated care ('high-need'
   patients). Using data from electronic primary care medical records to
   automatically create a list of possible `high need' patients could be a
   quick and easy first step to assist GPs in identifying these patients.
   Research question: Can `high need' patients with multimorbidity be
   identified automatically from their primary care medical records?
   Methods: Pseudonymized medical records of patients with multimorbidity
   (>= 2 chronic diseases) were analysed. Data was derived from the Nivel
   primary care database, a large registry containing data routinely
   recorded in electronic health records. This includes data on healthcare
   use, health problems and treatment. Logistic regression analysis was
   conducted to predict outcomes (frequent contact with the general
   practice, ER visits and unplanned hospital admissions). Predictors were
   age, sex, healthcare use in the previous year, morbidity and medication
   use. Results: In total, 245 065 patients with multimorbidity were
   identified, of which 48\% were above the age of 65 and 57\% female. More
   than 42\% had five GP contacts in the previous year and 62\% used five
   or more different medications. Frequent contact with the general
   practice could be reliably predicted using only the number of contacts
   in the previous year (AUC: 0.82). Adding all other predictors (including
   specific chronic conditions) only improved the predictive value of the
   model marginally (AUC: 0.84). Identifying patients with a high risk for
   ER visits and unplanned hospital admissions proved more difficult (AUC:
   0.67 and 0.70, respectively). Conclusion: `High need' patients with
   multimorbidity can be automatically selected from primary care medical
   records using only the number of contacts with the general practice in
   the previous year. Composing a list of these patients can help GPs to
   identify those eligible for person-centred integrated care.
   Background: Chronic diseases usually have a long duration and slow
   progression and, as a result, they tend to aggregate in multimorbidity
   patterns (MPs) during the life course and/or due to shared underlying
   pathophysiological pathways. Knowledge of how MPs progress over time is
   necessary to develop effective prevention management strategies.
   Research question: What are the most likely MPs over time? Which
   longitudinal shifts from one pattern to another occur during follow-up?
   Methods: A prospective longitudinal study based on electronic health
   records was conducted during 2012-2016 in Catalonia, Spain. For people
   aged >= 65 years, we extracted data on demographics and diagnostic codes
   for chronic diseases (ICD-10). Machine-learning techniques were applied
   for the identification of disease clusters using fuzzy c-means analysis
   to obtain initial clusters. To estimate longitudinal MPs and their
   progression for each individual a hidden Markov model was fitted,
   estimating: (1) the transition probability matrix between clusters; (2)
   the initial cluster probability; (3) the most likely trajectory for each
   individual. The prevalence of disease in each cluster, observed/expected
   ratios (O/E ratios) and disease exclusivity was determined for each MP.
   Criteria used to designate cluster: O/E ratio >= 2. Results: In total,
   916 619 individuals were included. Ten MPs were identified. The cluster
   including the most prevalent diseases was designated non-specific
   (42.0\% of individuals). The remaining nine clusters included the
   following anatomical systems: ophthalmologic and mental diseases
   (19.3\%), osteometabolic (7.9\%), cardio-circulatory (6.6\%), and
   others. Most patients, minimum 59.2\%, remained in the same cluster
   during the study period. The highest transitions to the mortality state
   were observed in the cardio-circulatory (37.1\%) and nervous (31.8\%)
   MPs. Conclusion: Ten significant longitudinal MPs were found. The
   application of sophisticated statistical techniques ideally suited the
   study of the MPs and allowed for characterization over time. This method
   is useful to establish a probabilistic evolution of MPs.
   Background: Quality of life is an essential theme for quantitative
   surveys in primary care. Treatments and procedures need to be assessed
   on whether they change patients' quality of life. This has led to the
   creation of evaluation scales. The purpose of this study was to
   determine reproducibility and efficiency of 11 previously selected
   quality of life scales (selected with a systematic review) for the
   general population. Research question: What is the best possible
   reproducible and efficient quality of life scale for the general
   population? Methods: The search was conducted from November 2017 to
   April 2018 in PubMed and Cochrane databases, according to the PRISMA
   (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses)
   protocol. The inclusion criteria were the psychometric qualities for
   each of the 11 scales studied. Articles dealing with subpopulations or
   those not written in IMRAD format were excluded. The collected values
   were reproducibility and efficiency. Results: Out of 206, 46 selected
   articles were included. Cronbach's alpha by domain and Pearson's
   coefficient were the most analysed psychometrics. No valid efficiency
   data was obtained. The internal consistency was over 0.7 for the SF-36,
   SF12v2 and EQ-5D scales. The Pearson coefficient was over 0.4 for the
   SF36v2, SF-12 and SF-12v2 scales. The Cohen's kappa ranged from 0.4 to
   0.80 for the EQ-5D questionnaire. Conclusion: No scale is fully
   validated. Reproducibility values were incomplete (Cronbach's alpha and
   Pearson's most expressed). No efficiency data was found. The most
   validated scales are the SF family and the EQ-5D. Researchers and
   clinicians should be aware of these limitations when choosing a quality
   of life scale. They should return to the scales' designs to choose the
   one that underlines the type of quality of life they want to assess as
   no external validity is available.
   Background: Previous studies have shown an increased rate of infection
   among patients with diabetes; however, it is unclear from these studies
   if the level of HbA1c is correlated with infection. Research question:
   This study aimed to examine the association between glycaemic control of
   type 2 diabetes patients and the incidence of infections. Methods: An
   HMO database was used to identify all DM patients. The first HbA1c test
   during the period of the study was selected for each patient; then an
   infection diagnosis was searched in the 60 days that followed the test.
   We compared the HbA1c test results that were followed by an infection to
   those that were not. After applying exclusion criteria: having cancer,
   receiving immunosuppressive medication, undergoing dialysis treatment,
   anaemia less than 9 mg\%, and G6PD deficiency, there remained 33 637
   patients in the cohort. The study period was October 2014 to September
   2017. The following information was collected: age, gender,
   socio-economic index, BMI, use of hypoglycaemic and steroid medication
   in the 90 days before infection, and comorbid conditions (IHD, PVD, CVA,
   CCF, asthma, COPD, Parkinson's disease, dementia, CRF). Results: In
   total, 804 patients had an infection within 60 days following an HbA1c
   test. For cellulitis, cholecystitis, herpes zoster, pneumonia and
   sinusitis the HbA1c was higher than those patients that had no infection
   (for cellulitis 7.603 vs 7.243). When factored into logistic regression
   analysis, we found that other chronic diseases increased the risk of
   infection between 29 and 60\%. Each increase of a gram of HbA1c
   increased the risk by 8.5\%. Use of steroids in the 90 days before the
   infection increases the chance of infection by 734\%. Conclusion:
   Increasing HbA1c and comorbidity both increase the risk of infection
   among type 2 diabetics but use of oral or injectable steroids is a much
   more significant risk factor.},

Title = {Selection methods of lean management tools: a review},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {72},
Number = {4},
Pages = {1077-1110},
Month = {MAR 24},
Abstract = {Purpose The purpose of this paper is (1) to review, analyze and assess
   the existing literature on lean tools selection studies published from
   2005 to 2021; (2) to identify the limitations faced by previous studies;
   and (3) to suggest future works that are necessary to facilitate the
   selection of lean tools. Design/methodology/approach A systematic
   approach was used in order to identify, collect and select the articles.
   Several keywords related to the selection of lean tools were used to
   collect articles from different Scopus indexed journals. Next, the study
   systematically reviewed and analyzed the selected papers to identify the
   lean tools' selection method and discussed its features and limitations.
   Findings An analysis of the results showed that previous studies have
   adopted two types of methods for selecting lean tools. First, there are
   various traditional methods being used. Second, multi-criteria
   decision-making (MCDM) methods were commonly used in previous studies,
   such as the multi-objective decision-making method (MODM), single
   multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods and hybrid (MCDM).
   Moreover, the study revealed that the lean tools' selection methods in
   previous studies were based on evaluating the relationship between
   either lean tools and performance metrics or lean tools and waste, or
   both. Research limitations/implications In terms of its theoretical
   value, the study is considered as an extension of the previous
   researches performed on this topic by determining and analyzing the
   features of the most selection methods of lean tools. Unlike previous
   review papers, this review had considered discussing and analyzing the
   characteristics and limitations of these methods. Section 2.2 of this
   paper reviewed some of the categories of MCDM methods as well as some of
   the traditional methods used in the selected previous studies. Section
   2.1 of this paper explained the concept of lean management and its
   application benefits. Further, only three sectors were covered by the
   previous studies in this review paper. This study also provided
   recommendations for future research. Therefore, it provided researchers
   with a good conception of how to conduct the studies on lean tools
   selection. Besides, knowing the methods used in previous studies can
   help researchers develop new methods to select the best set of lean
   tools. That is, this study provided and advanced the existing knowledge
   base for researchers concerning lean tools selection, especially there
   is limited availability of review papers on this topic. Moreover, the
   study showed researchers the importance of the relationship between lean
   tools and indicators or/and performance indicators to determine the
   appropriate set of lean tools so that the results of future studies will
   be more realistic and acceptable. Practical implications Practically,
   manufacturers face a significant challenge when selecting proper lean
   tools. This study may enhance managers, manufacturers and company's
   knowledge to identify most of the methods used to choose the best set of
   lean tools and what are the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of
   these methods as well as the latest studies that have been adopted in
   this topic. That means this study can direct companies to prioritize the
   application of lean tools depending on either the manufacturing
   performance metrics or/and manufacturing wastes so that they avoid
   incorrect application of lean tools, which will add more non-value added
   activities to operations.
   Therefore companies can decrease the time and cost losses and enhancing
   the quality and efficiency of the performance.
   Correctly implementing the best set of lean tools in companies will lead
   in general to correctly applying lean management in corporations.
   Therefore, these lean tools can boost the economic aspect of companies
   and society through reducing waste, improving performance indicators,
   preserving time and cost, achieving quality, efficiency,
   competitiveness, boosting employee income and improving the gross
   domestic product. The correct lean tool selection reduces customer
   complaints and employee stress and improves work conditions, health,
   safety and labor wellbeing. Besides, the correct lean tools selection
   improves materials usage, energy usage, water usage and decreases liquid
   wastes, solid wastes and air emissions. As a result, the right selection
   of lean tools will have positive effects on both the environment and
   society. The study may also encourage manufacturers and researchers to
   adopt studies on lean tools selection in small- and medium-sized
   companies because the study referred to the importance and participation
   of these kinds of companies in a large proportion of the economy of
   developing countries. Further, the study may encourage some countries
   that have not previously adopted this type of study, academically and
   industrially to conduct lean tools selection studies. Social
   implications As mentioned previously, the correct lean tool selection
   reduces customer complaints and employee stress and improves work
   conditions, health, safety and labor wellbeing. The proper lean tools
   selection improves materials usage, energy usage, water usage and
   decreases liquid wastes, solid wastes and air emissions. As a result,
   the right choice of lean tools will positively affect both the
   environment and society. Originality/value The study expanded the
   efforts of previous studies concerning lean management features. It
   provided an accurate review of most lean tools selection studies
   published from 2005 to 2021 and was not limited to the manufacturing
   sector. It further identified and briefly described the selection
   methods concerning lean tools adopted in each paper.},

Title = {Accrediting private providers with National Health Insurance to better
   serve low-income populations in Kenya and Ghana: a qualitative study},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR EQUITY IN HEALTH},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {17},
Month = {DEC 5},
Abstract = {Background: Small private providers in low- and middle-income countries
   (LMICs) are well positioned to fill gaps in services to low-income
   populations using Social Health Insurance (SHI) schemes. However, we
   know little about the practical challenges both private providers and
   patients face in the context of SHI that may ultimately limit access to
   quality services for low-income populations. In this paper, we pull
   together data collected from private providers, patients, and SHI
   officials in Kenya and Ghana to answer the question: does participation
   in an SHI scheme affect private providers' ability to serve poorer
   patient populations with quality health services?
   Methods: In-depth interviews were held with 204 providers over three
   rounds of data collection (2013, 2015, 2017) in Kenya and Ghana. We also
   conducted client exit interviews in 2013 and 2017 for a total of 106
   patient interviews. Ten focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted in
   Kenya and Ghana respectively in 2013 for a total of 171 FGD
   participants. A total of 13 in-depth interviews also were conducted with
   officials from the Ghana National Health Insurance Agency (NHIA) and the
   Kenya National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) across four rounds of data
   collection (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017). Provider interviews covered reasons
   for (non) enrollment in the health insurance system, experiences with
   the accreditation process, and benefits and challenges with the system.
   Client exit interviews covered provider choice, clinic experience, and
   SHI experience. FGDs covered the local healthcare landscape. Interviews
   with SHI officials covered officials' experiences working with private
   providers, and the opportunities and challenges they faced both
   accrediting providers and enrolling members. Transcripts were coded in
   Atlas.ti using an open coding approach and analyzed thematically.
   Results: Private providers and patients agreed that SHI schemes are
   beneficial for reducing out-of-pocket costs to patients and many
   providers felt they had to become SHI-accredited in order to keep their
   facilities open. The SHI officials in both countries corroborated these
   sentiments. However, due to misunderstanding of the system providers
   tended to charge clients for services they felt were above and beyond
   reimbursable expenses. Services were sometimes limited as well.
   Significant delays in SHI reimbursement in Ghana exacerbated these
   problems and compromised providers' abilities to cover basic expenses
   without charging patients. While patients recognized the potential
   benefits of SHI coverage and many sought it out, a number of patients
   reported allowing their enrollment to lapse for cost reasons or because
   they felt the coverage was useless when they were still asked to pay for
   services out-of-pocket at the health facility.
   Conclusions: Our data point to several major barriers to SHI access and
   effectiveness for low-income populations in Ghana and in Kenya, in
   addition to opportunities to better engage private providers to serve
   these populations. We recommend using fee-for-service payments based on
   Diagnosis Related Group rather than a capitation payment system, as well
   as building more monitoring and accountability mechanisms into the SHI
   systems in order to reduce requests for informal out-of-pocket payments
   from patients while also ensuring quality of care. However, particularly
   in Ghana, these reforms should be accompanied by financial reform within
   the SHI system so that small private providers can be adequately funded
   through government financing.},

Abstract = {Background Health data is one of the most valuable assets in health
   service delivery yet one of the most underutilized in especially
   low-income countries. Health data is postulated to improve health
   service delivery through availing avenues for optimal patient
   management, facility management, and public health surveillance and
   management. Advancements in information technology (IT) will further
   increase the value of data, but will also call for capacity readiness
   especially in rural health facilities. We aimed to understand the
   current knowledge, attitudes and practices of health workers towards
   health data management and utilization. Methods We conducted key
   informant interviews (KII) for health workers and data staff, and focus
   group discussions (FGD) for the village health teams (VHTs). We used
   both purposive and convenience sampling to recruit key informants, and
   convenience sampling to recruit village health teams. Interviews and
   discussions were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. We manually
   generated the codes and we used thematic analysis to identify the
   themes. We also developed a reflexivity journal. Results We conducted a
   total of 6 key informant interviews and 3 focus group discussions of 29
   participants. Our analysis identified 7 themes: One theme underscored
   the health workers' enthusiasm towards an optimal health data management
   setting. The rest of the six themes resonated around working remedies to
   the systemic challenges that grapple health data management and
   utilization at facilities in rural areas. These include: Building human
   resource capacity; Equipping the facilities; Improved coordination with
   partners; Improved data quality assurance; Promotion of a pull supply
   system and Reducing information relay time. Conclusion Our findings
   reveal a plethora of systematic challenges that have persistently
   undercut optimal routine health data management and utilization in rural
   areas and suggest possible working remedies. Health care workers express
   enthusiasm towards an optimal health management system but this isn't
   matched by their technical capacity, facility readiness, systems and
   policy willingness. There is an urgent need to build rural lower
   facilities' capacity in health data management and utilization which
   will also lay a foundation for exploitation of information technology in
   health.},

Abstract = {Objectives: Clinical research is a complex scientific and social
   enterprise. Our objective was to identify strategies that pediatric
   critical care trialists consider acceptable, feasible, and effective to
   improve the design and conduct randomized controlled trials in pediatric
   critical care.
   Design: Qualitative descriptive study using semistructured individual
   interviews.
   Subjects: We interviewed 26 pediatric critical care researchers from
   seven countries who have published a randomized controlled trial
   (2005-2015). We used purposive sampling to achieve diversity regarding
   researcher characteristics and randomized controlled trial
   characteristics.
   Interventions: None.
   Measurements and Main Results: Most participants (24 {[}92\%]) were from
   high-income countries, eight (31\%) had published more than one
   randomized controlled trial, 17 (65\%) had published a multicenter
   randomized controlled trial, and eight (31\%) had published a
   multinational randomized controlled trial. An important theme was
   building communitiesgroups of individuals with similar interests, shared
   experiences, and common values, bound by professional and personal
   relationships. Participants described a sense of community as a source
   of motivation and encouragement and as a means to larger, more rigorous
   trials, increasing researcher and clinician engagement and maintaining
   enthusiasm. Strategies to build communities stressed in-person
   interactions (both professional and social), capable leadership, and
   trust. Another important theme was getting started. Participants
   highlighted the importance of formal research training and high-quality
   experiential learning through collaboration on other's projects, guided
   by effective mentorship. Also important was working within the
   systemensuring academic credit for a range of contributions, not only
   for the principal investigator role. The longitudinal notion of building
   on success was also underscored as a cross-cutting theme.
   Conclusions: Coordinated, deliberate actions to build community and
   ensure key training and practical experiences for new investigators may
   strengthen the research enterprise in pediatric critical care. These
   strategies, potentially in combination with other novel approaches, may
   vitalize clinical research in this field.},

Title = {Helping a professor with aphasia resume teaching through multimodal

Volume = {19},
Number = {3-5},
Pages = {399-410},

Note = {34th Annual Clinical Aphasiology Conference, Park City, UT, 2004},
Abstract = {Background: Research and clinical evidence suggest that employment after
   stroke may be an important aspect of-preserving personal and social
   identity; however, few people with significant aphasia manage to return
   to work, particularly if their jobs are communicatively and cognitively
   demanding.
   Aims: This study presents the case of a professor with aphasia, JK, who
   resumed teaching through a combination of voice-output technology and
   the Key Word Teaching technique. Researchers investigated student
   attitudes towards two teaching approaches-one utilising voice-output
   technology alone and the other combining voice-output with the Key Word
   Teaching technique.
   Methods \& Procedures: Ten student participants attended two simulated
   class sessions-one utilising voice-output technology alone and the other
   combining voice-output with the Key Word Teaching technique.
   Investigators analysed attitudinal survey results using nonparametric
   analyses. Qualitative approaches were employed to analyse transcripts of
   focus group discussions and written teaching evaluations. The
   investigators also compared university-based teaching evaluations from
   before JK's stroke to results obtained after the training protocol was
   completed. In addition, investigators videotaped and reviewed in-class
   teaching examples.
   Outcomes \& Results: In the Combined condition, students rated the
   professor and the presentation more positively on dependent measures
   related to rate, comfort, understandability, and their willingness to
   participate. In a ranking task, all students preferred the Combined
   teaching approach. The scores on JK's university-based teaching
   evaluations provided by her students the semester after Key Word
   Teaching training were similar to evaluations from before her stroke. In
   addition, excerpts from JK's classroom discourse revealed that she was
   now combining natural speech and synthesised speech output to enhance
   her teaching.
   Conclusions: Results suggest that students preferred the Combined
   teaching approach utilising both the synthesised speech from the
   computer and the Key Word Teaching technique. Also, the training
   protocol enabled JK to combine natural speech and synthesised computer
   output within the classroom setting in ways that she had been unable to
   prior to training. The results demonstrate how a thorough analysis of
   JK's communication needs, accompanied by explicit training in techniques
   to overcome barriers to participation, resulted in a successful
   vocational outcome that enabled JK to retain an important aspect of her
   identity.},

Abstract = {The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the effectiveness of
   specially trained and supervised paraprofessionals in administering the

   were specially selected and trained in the application of the EMDR-IGTP
   and then provided treatment in an uncontrolled clinical trial to 37
   clients from 3 non-governmental organizations in Bolivia. The
   participants were adult staff members (protective services workers,
   caregivers, psychologist, lawyers, and social workers) who provided care
   to children and adolescents with severe interpersonal trauma. Four
   EMDR-IGTP sessions within a parallel 2-week period were administered for
   each randomly assigned group. The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
   Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) was administered at pretreatment and 30 and
   90 days' posttreatment. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA)

Title = {Acceptability and Potential Effectiveness of eHealth Tools for Training
   Primary Health Workers From Nigeria at Scale: Mixed Methods,
   Uncontrolled Before-and-After Study},
Journal = {JMIR MHEALTH AND UHEALTH},
Year = {2021},

Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {Background: The in-service training of frontline health workers (FHWs)
   in primary health care facilities plays an important role in improving
   the standard of health care delivery. However, it is often expensive and
   requires FHWs to leave their posts in rural areas to attend courses in
   urban centers. This study reports the implementation of a digital health
   tool for providing video training (VTR) on maternal, newborn, and child
   health (MNCH) care to provide in-service training at scale without
   interrupting health services. The VTR intervention was supported by
   satellite communications technology and existing 3G mobile networks.
   Objective: This study aims to determine the feasibility and
   acceptability of these digital health tools and their potential
   effectiveness in improving clinical knowledge, attitudes, and practices
   related to MNCH care.
   Methods: A mixed methods design, including an uncontrolled pre- and
   postquantitative evaluation, was adopted. From October 2017 to May 2018,
   a VTR mobile intervention was delivered to FHWs in 3 states of Nigeria.
   We examined changes in workers' knowledge and confidence in delivering
   MNCH services through a pre- and posttest survey. Stakeholders'
   experiences with the intervention were explored through semistructured
   interviews that drew on the technology acceptance model to frame
   contextual factors that shaped the intervention's acceptability and
   usability in the work environment.
   Results: In total, 328 FHWs completed both pre- and posttests. FHWs
   achieved a mean pretest score of 51\% (95\% CI 48\%-54\%) and mean
   posttest score of 69\% (95\% CI 66\%-72\%), reflecting, after adjusting
   for key covariates, a mean increase between the pre- and posttest of 17
   percentage points (95\% CI 15-19; P<.001). Variation was identified in
   pre- and posttest scores by the sex and location of participants
   alongside topic-specific areas where scores were lowest. Stakeholder
   interviews suggested a wide acceptance of VTR Mobile (delivered via
   digital technology) as an important tool for enhancing the quality of
   training, reinforcing knowledge, and improving health outcomes.
   Conclusions: This study found that VTR supported through a digital
   technology approach is a feasible and acceptable approach for supporting
   improvements in clinical knowledge, attitudes, and reported practices in
   MNCH. The determinants of technology acceptance included ease of use,
   perceived usefulness, access to technology and training contents, and
   the cost-effectiveness of VTR, whereas barriers to the adoption of VTR
   were poor electricity supply, poor internet connection, and
   FHWs'workload. The evaluation also identified the mechanisms of the
   impact of delivering VTR Mobile at scale on the micro (individual), meso
   (organizational), and macro (policy) levels of the health system. Future
   research is required to explore the translation of this digital health
   approach for the VTR of FHWs and its impact across low-resource settings
   to ameliorate the financial and time costs of training and support
   high-quality MNCH care delivery.},

Title = {Crowdsourcing Global Perspectives in Ecology Using Social Media},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {9},
Month = {NOV 11},
Abstract = {Transparent, open, and reproducible research is still far from routine,
   and the full potential of open science has not yet been realized.
   Crowdsourcing-defined as the usage of a flexible open call to a
   heterogeneous group of individuals to recruit volunteers for a task -is
   an emerging scientific model that encourages larger and more outwardly
   transparent collaborations. While crowdsourcing, particularly through
   citizen- or community-based science, has been increasing over the last
   decade in ecological research, it remains infrequently used as a means
   of generating scientific knowledge in comparison to more traditional
   approaches. We explored a new implementation of crowdsourcing by using
   an open call on social media to assess its utility to address
   fundamental ecological questions. We specifically focused on pervasive
   challenges in predicting, mitigating, and understanding the consequences
   of disturbances. In this paper, we briefly review open science concepts
   and their benefits, and then focus on the new methods we used to
   generate a scientific publication. We share our approach, lessons
   learned, and potential pathways forward for expanding open science. Our
   model is based on the beliefs that social media can be a powerful tool
   for idea generation and that open collaborative writing processes can
   enhance scientific outcomes. We structured the project in five phases:
   (1) draft idea generation, (2) leadership team recruitment and project
   development, (3) open collaborator recruitment via social media, (4)
   iterative paper development, and (5) final editing, authorship
   assignment, and submission by the leadership team. We observed benefits
   including: facilitating connections between unusual networks of
   scientists, providing opportunities for early career and
   underrepresented groups of scientists, and rapid knowledge exchange that
   generated multidisciplinary ideas. We also identified areas for
   improvement, highlighting biases in the individuals that self-selected
   participation and acknowledging remaining barriers to contributing new
   or incompletely formed ideas into a public document. While shifting
   scientific paradigms to completely open science is a long-term process,
   our hope in publishing this work is to encourage others to build upon
   and improve our efforts in new and creative ways.},

Abstract = {Objective: We aimed to determine whether gentrification predicts the
   movement of shooting victims over time and if this process has decreased
   access to care. Background: Trauma centers remain fixed in space, but
   the populations they serve do not. Nationally, gentrification has
   displaced disadvantaged communities most at risk for violent injury,
   potentially decreasing access to care. This process has not been
   studied, but an increase of only 1 mile from a trauma center increases
   shooting mortality up to 22\%. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional
   study utilizing Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) and Pennsylvania
   trauma systems outcome (PTOS) data 2006-2018. Shootings were mapped and
   grouped into census tracts. They were then cross-mapped with
   gentrification data and hospital location. PPD and PTOS shooting data
   were compared to ensure patients requiring trauma care were captured.
   Census tracts with >= 500 residents with income and median home values
   in the bottom 40th percentile of the metropolitan area were eligible to
   gentrify. Tracts were gentrified if residents >= 25 with a bachelor's
   degree increased and home price increased to the top third in the
   metropolitan area. Change in distribution of shootings and its relation
   to gentrification was our primary outcome while proximity of shootings
   to a trauma center was our secondary outcome. Results: Thirty-two
   percent (123/379) of eligible tracts gentrified and 31,165 shootings
   were captured in the PPD database. 9090 (29.2\%) patients meeting trauma
   criteria were captured in PTOS with an increasing proportion over time.
   The proportion of shootings within gentrifying tracts significantly
   dropped 2006-2018 (40\%-35\%, P < 0.001) and increased in
   non-gentrifying tracts (52\%-57\%, P < 0.001). In evaluation of shooting
   densities, a predictable redistribution occurred 2006-2018 with incident
   density decreasing in gentrified areas and increasing in non-gentrified
   areas. Shootings within 1 mile of a trauma center increased overall, but
   proportional access decreased in gentrified areas. Conclusions:
   Shootings in Philadelphia predictably moved out of gentrified areas and
   concentrated in non-gentrified ones. In this case study of a national
   crisis, the pattern of change paradoxically resulted in an increased
   clustering of shootings around trauma centers in non-gentrified areas.
   Repetition of this work in other cities can guide future resource
   allocation and be used to improve access to trauma care.},

Pages = {223-233},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Purpose Over 50\% of breast cancer patients prescribed a 5-year course
   of daily oral adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) are nonadherent. We
   investigated the role of costs and cancer medication delivery mode and
   other medication delivery factors on adherence. Methods We conducted a
   retrospective cohort study of commercially insured and Medicare
   advantage patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer in 2007-2015 who
   initiated ET. We examined the association between 12-month ET adherence
   (proportion of days covered by fills >= 0.80) and ET copayments, 90-day
   prescription refill use, mail order pharmacy use, number of pharmacies,
   and synchronization of medications. We used regression models to
   estimate nonadherence risk ratios adjusted for demographics (age,
   income, race, urbanicity), comorbidities, total medications, primary
   cancer treatments, and generic AI availability. Sensitivity analyses
   were conducted using alternative specifications for independent
   variables. Results Mail order users had higher adherence in both
   commercial and Medicare-insured cohorts. Commercially insured patients
   who used mail order were more likely to be adherent if they had low
   copayments (< \$5) and 90-day prescription refills. For commercially
   insured patients who used local pharmacies, use of one pharmacy and
   better synchronized refills were also associated with adherence. Among
   Medicare patients who used mail order pharmacies, only low copayments
   were associated with adherence, while among Medicare patients using
   local pharmacies both low copayments and 90-day prescriptions were
   associated with ET adherence. Conclusion Out-of-pocket costs, medication
   delivery mode, and other pharmacy-related medication delivery factors
   are associated with adherence to breast cancer ET. Future work should
   investigate whether interventions aimed at streamlining medication
   delivery could improve adherence for breast cancer patients.},

Title = {Dollarisation as Economic Solution for the Zimbabwean Demise},

Abstract = {Dollarisation as Economic Solution for the Zimbabwean Demise The
   Zimbabwean economic and political malaise has been going on for longer
   than a decade and has deteriorated unabated Runaway hyperinflation
   reaching unthinkable proportions, an almost hundred percent unemployment
   rate and a shattered currency with literally no external value or esteem
   characterise this demise. Fiscal profligacy funded by an ever increasing
   fiscal deficit has played its part in this socio-economic tragedy. This
   state of affairs would not have been possible if the Reserve Bank of
   Zimbabwe had fulfilled its role as protector of the nation currency.
   Sadly the Bank slavishly accommodated the government request for
   printing more money and did not render any sign of independence from
   government as a respected central bank should have done. As in many
   other cases of hyperinflation, this weakness provided the basis from
   which the evolving tragedy gained momentum. The gigantic proportions of
   the continuous socio-economic and political tragedy predict an even
   bleaker future for the country if not attended to in a decisive way.
   No instant political or economic solution exists for this appalling
   situation, but economic restoration has to start with certain basic
   steps of economic reform. This paper suggests official dollarisation as
   an alternative exchange rate regime with which to clear up the economic
   disorder that currently characterises the economic scene. The paper
   explains the term ``dollarisation{''}, its features and the underlying
   rationale of the regime as a super-fixed exchange rate system for
   Zimbabwe. Thereafter the possible advantages and disadvantages that
   Zimbabwe can obtain from the system are highlighted, accompanied by a
   brief discussion on randisation as a possible alternative solution.
   Especially important among the advantages is the fact that dollarisation
   will help to restore the lost credibility of the Zimbabwean
   policy-makers since it will now be imported externally from an anchor
   country and its currency. This will not only substantially decrease the
   inflation and interest rates, but it will also contribute to promoting
   saving, investment, economic growth and employment. It will,
   furthermore, stabilise the dysfunctional Zimbabwean credit system,
   enhance long term lending contracts and correct the misallocation of
   resources caused by, hyperinflation.
   These benefits must be balanced by certain costs of dollarisation,
   especially the loss of seigniorage income, the loss of monetary autonomy
   and national pride, as well as the loss of the
   lender-of-last-resort-function of the central bank. However, in the case
   of Zimbabwe these costs are found to be thoroughly overshadowed by the
   benefits derived from dollarisation. In addition, the Zimbabwean
   situation and the current stance of its economy actually fit the
   prerequisites for a country that should seriously contemplate
   dollarisation.
   Although dollarisation is supported as a possible solution for Zimbabwe,
   randisation may also work but will have to be considered with care.
   South Africa is indeed the biggest trading partner of Zimbabwe and also
   has deep financial ties with the latter Nevertheless, the volatility in
   the exchange rate of the rand and the possibility of loan default on
   South African loans to Zimbabwe are risks in need of contemplation.
   Another but less credible policy alternative for Zimbabwe, is to adopt a
   currency board arrangement where the exchange rate of the Zimdollar is
   not only firmly fixed to the South African rand, but also fully (100 per
   cent) covered by rand reserves cis a back-up measure of credibility.
   Yet, under the current circumstances dollarisation presents itself as a
   more likely system with which to obtain rapid and trustworthy results.
   Although dollarisation on its own will certainly help, it will not pose
   a ``quick-fix{''} for the Zimbabwean demise. Dollarisation can not
   compensate for corruption, disruptions in the social structure and a
   lack of transparency in the political and economic system. Furthermore,
   it can not compensate for a lack of human prudence in decision-making, a
   lack of protection of property rights and the absence of a rule of law.
   The latter aspects require fundamental and credible reforms on the
   political and juridical front, without which no economic rescue package
   will have any success whatsoever},

Title = {Slum upgrading strategies involving physical environment and
   infrastructure interventions and their effects on health and
   socio-economic outcomes (Review)},
Journal = {COCHRANE DATABASE OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS},
Year = {2013},
Number = {1},
Abstract = {Background
   Slums are densely populated, neglected parts of cities where housing and
   living conditions are exceptionally poor. In situ slum upgrading, at its
   basic level, involves improving the physical environment of the existing
   area, such as improving and installing basic infrastructure like water,
   sanitation, solid waste collection, electricity, storm water drainage,
   access roads and footpaths, and street lighting, as well as home
   improvements and securing land tenure.
   Objectives
   To explore the effects of slum upgrading strategies involving physical
   environment and infrastructure interventions on the health, quality of
   life and socio-economic wellbeing of urban slum dwellers in low and
   middle income countries (LMIC). Where reported, data were collected on
   the perspectives of slum dwellers regarding their needs, preferences for
   and satisfaction with interventions received.
   Search methods
   We searched for published and unpublished studies in 28 bibliographic
   databases including multidisciplinary (for example Scopus) and
   specialist databases covering health, social science, urban planning,
   environment and LMIC topics. Snowballing techniques included searching
   websites, journal handsearching, contacting authors and reference list
   checking. Searches were not restricted by language or publication date.
   Selection criteria
   We included studies examining the impact of slum upgrading strategies
   involving physical environment or infrastructure improvements (with or
   without additional co-interventions) on the health, quality of life and
   socio-economic wellbeing of LMIC urban slum dwellers. Randomised
   controlled trials (RCTs), controlled before and after studies (CBAs) and
   interrupted time series (ITS) were eligible for the main analysis.
   Controlled studies with only post-intervention data (CPI) and
   uncontrolled before and after (UBA) studies were included in a separate
   narrative to examine consistency of results and to supplement evidence
   gaps in the main analysis.
   Data collection and analysis
   Two authors independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias for
   each study. Differences between the included study interventions and
   outcomes precluded meta-analysis so the results were presented in a
   narrative summary with illustrative harvest plots. The body of evidence
   for outcomes within the main analysis was assessed according to GRADE as
   very low, low, moderate or high quality.
   Main results
   We identified 10,488 unique records, with 323 screened as full text.
   Five studies were included for the main analysis: one RCT with a low
   risk, two CBAs with a moderate risk and two CBAs with a high risk of
   bias. Three CBAs evaluated multicomponent slum upgrading strategies.
   Road paving only was evaluated in one RCT and water supply in one CBA. A
   total of 3453 households or observations were included within the four
   studies reporting sample sizes.
   Most health outcomes in the main studies related to communicable
   diseases, for which the body of evidence was judged to be low quality.
   One CBA with a moderate risk of bias found that diarrhoeal incidence was
   reduced in households which received water connections from a private
   water company (risk ratio (RR) 0.53; 95\% confidence interval (CI) 0.27
   to 1.04) and the severity of diarrhoeal episodes (RR 0.48; 95\% CI 0.19
   to 1.22). There was no effect for duration of diarrhoea. Road paving did
   not result in changes in parasitic infections or sickness in one RCT.
   After multicomponent slum upgrading, claims for a waterborne disease as
   opposed to a non-waterborne disease reduced (RR 0.64; 95\% CI 0.27 to
   0.98) in one CBA with a high risk of bias but there was no change in
   sanitation-related mortality in a CBA with a moderate risk of bias.
   The majority of socio-economic outcomes reported within the main studies
   related to financial poverty, for which the body of evidence was of very
   low quality. Results were mixed amongst the main studies; one RCT and
   two CBAs reported no effect on the income of slum dwellers following
   slum upgrading. One further CBA found significant reduction in monthly
   water expenditure (mean difference (MD) -17.11 pesos; 95\% CI -32.6 to
   -1.62). One RCT also showed mixed results for employment variables,
   finding no effect on unemployment levels but increased weekly worked
   hours (MD 4.68; 95\% CI -0.46 to 9.82) and lower risk of residents
   intending to migrate for work (RR 0.78; 95\% CI 0.60 to 1.01).
   There was no evidence available to assess the impact of slum upgrading
   on non-communicable diseases or social capital. Maternal and perinatal
   conditions, infant mortality, nutritional deficiencies, injuries,
   self-reported quality of life, education and crime were evaluated in one
   study each.
   Nine supporting studies were included that measured varying outcomes
   (6794 households or observations within eight studies reporting sample
   sizes). One CPI evaluated cement flooring only while three UBAs and five
   CPIs evaluated multicomponent slum upgrading strategies. All studies but
   one had a high risk of bias.
   The studies reinforced main study findings for diarrhoea incidence and
   water-related expenditure. Findings for parasitic infections and
   financial poverty were inconsistent with the main studies. In addition,
   supporting studies reported a number of disparate outcomes that were not
   evaluated in the main studies.
   Five supporting studies included some limited information on slum
   dweller perspectives. They indicated the importance of appropriate
   siting of facilities, preference for private facilities, delivering
   synergistic interventions together, and ensuring that infrastructure was
   fit for purpose and systems were provided for cleaning, maintenance and
   repair.
   Authors' conclusions
   A high risk of bias within the included studies, heterogeneity and
   evidence gaps prevent firm conclusions on the effect of slum upgrading
   strategies on health and socio-economic wellbeing. The most common
   health and socio-economic outcomes reported were communicable diseases
   and indicators of financial poverty. There was a limited but consistent
   body of evidence to suggest that slum upgrading may reduce the incidence
   of diarrhoeal diseases and water-related expenditure. The information
   available on slum dwellers' perspectives provided some insight to
   barriers and facilitators for successful implementation and maintenance
   of interventions.
   The availability and use of reliable, comparable outcome measures to
   determine the effect of slum upgrading on health, quality of life and
   socio-economic wellbeing would make a useful contribution to new
   research in this important area. Given the complexity in delivering slum
   upgrading, evaluations should look to incorporate process and
   qualitative information alongside quantitative effectiveness data to
   determine which particular interventions work (or don't work) and for
   whom.},

Title = {Caregiver experience and perceived acceptability of a novel near
   point-of-care early infant HIV diagnostic test among caregivers enrolled
   in the PMTCT program, Myanmar: A qualitative study},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {15},

Month = {OCT 30},
Abstract = {Background
   The majority of HIV infection among children occurs through
   mother-to-child transmission. HIV exposed infants are recommended to
   have virological testing at birth or 4-6 weeks of age but challenges
   with centralized laboratory-based testing in Myanmar result in low
   testing rates and delays in result communication and treatment
   initiation. Decentralized point-of-care (POC) testing when integrated in
   prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services, can
   be an alternative to increase coverage of early infant diagnosis (EID)
   and timely engagement in HIV treatment and care.
   Aim
   This paper aims to explore experiences of caregivers of HIV-exposed
   infants enrolled in the PMTCT program in Myanmar and the perceived
   acceptability of point-of-care EID testing compared to conventional
   centralised laboratory-based testing.
   Methods
   This is a sub-study of the cluster randomised controlled stepped-wedge
   trial (Trial registration number: ACTRN12616000734460) that assessed the
   impact of near POC EID testing using Xpert HIV-1 Qual assay in four
   public hospitals in Myanmar. Caregivers of infants who were enrolled in
   the intervention phase of the main study, had been tested with both
   Xpert and standard of care tests and had received the results were
   eligible for this qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were
   conducted with 23 caregivers. Interviews were audio recorded,
   transcribed verbatim and translated into English. Thematic data analysis
   was undertaken using NVivo 12 Software (QSR International).
   Results
   The majority of caregivers were satisfied with the quality of care
   provided by PMTCT services. However, they encountered social and
   financial access barriers to attend the PMTCT clinic regularly. Mothers
   had concerns about community stigma from the disclosure of their HIV
   status and the potential consequences for their infants. While medical
   care at the PMTCT clinics was free, caregivers sometimes experienced
   financial difficulties associated with out-of-pocket expenses for
   childbirth and transportation. Some caregivers had to choose not to
   attend work (impacting their income) or the adult antiretroviral clinic
   in order to attend the paediatric PMTCT clinic appointment. The
   acceptability of the Xpert testing process was high among the caregiver
   participants and more than half received the Xpert result on the same
   day as testing. Short turnaround time of the near POC EID testing
   enabled the caregivers to find out their infants' HIV status quicker,
   thereby shortening the stressful waiting time for results.
   Conclusion
   Our study identified important access challenges facing caregivers of
   HIV exposed infants and high acceptability of near POC EID testing.
   Improving the retention rate in the PMTCT and EID programs necessitates
   careful attention of program managers and policy makers to these
   challenges, and POC EID represents a potential solution.},

Title = {Community advisory committee as a facilitator of health and wellbeing: A
   qualitative study in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {10},
Month = {JAN 9},
Abstract = {IntroductionA range of community engagement initiatives to advance
   health and wellbeing are currently taking place in informal settlements
   in low and middle income countries (LMICs), including community and
   stakeholder meetings, use of radio, film, TV programs and other
   information, education and communication materials (IECs) organized by
   different stakeholders. While these initiatives tend to focus on
   unidirectional flow of information to communities, the need to
   incorporate initiatives focusing on bi or multi-directional flow of
   information have been identified. Despite the extensive body of
   literature on community engagement, the role of Community Advisory
   Committees (CACs) in advancing health and wellbeing in informal
   settlements is still a puzzle, occasioned by considerable ambiguity. A
   community advisory committee is a dedicated group of volunteers to
   support health and wellbeing needs of their community using a community
   approach. Researchers and project implementers work in partnership with
   CACs to successfully implement their activities within the target
   community. MethodsIn this paper, using in-depth interviews, we document
   the roles of CACs in advancing health and wellbeing in Korogocho and
   Viwandani informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. ResultsStudy
   participants described the role of CAC in advancing health and wellbeing
   through education and awareness creation, advisory roles in research and
   implementation goals, protecting community interests and acting as
   gatekeepers and collaborators to community partners. Identified barriers
   to achieving CAC roles include lack of finance and other field
   resources, being labeled as organization staff and low involvement by
   some upcoming and emerging local leaders on issues which involve the CAC
   constituents. Enablers of CACs in their roles include possession of
   appropriate skills and values by members; involvement of the community
   in the selection of members, regular consultative and advisory meetings,
   representativeness in the composition of CAC membership and knowledge
   about the community. ConclusionWe conclude that CACs play key roles in
   advancing health and wellbeing in informal settlements and that existing
   CACs mechanisms and operations need to be given due consideration by
   researchers, project implementers and local authorities right from
   project conceptualization. CACs need recognition beyond consultations
   and placations during research and project implementation to a veritable
   social structure for community's social viability and survival as well
   as partners in development for inclusive urbanization process. While
   CACs have contributed in advancing health and wellbeing in informal
   settlements, there is need for a long-term strategy to optimize their
   impact and reduce puzzles around their roles.},

Title = {Providers' perceptions of communication and women's autonomy during
   childbirth: a mixed methods study in Kenya},
Journal = {REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {17},
Number = {1},
Month = {JUN 3},
Abstract = {Background Effective communication and respect for women's autonomy are
   critical components of person-centered care. Yet, there is limited
   evidence in low-resource settings on providers' perceptions of the
   importance and extent of communication and women's autonomy during
   childbirth. Similarly, few studies have assessed the potential barriers
   to effective communication and maintenance of women's autonomy during
   childbirth. We sought to bridge these gaps. Methods Data are from a
   mixed-methods study in Migori County in Western Kenya with 49 maternity
   providers (32 clinical and 17 non-clinical). Providers were asked
   structured questions on various aspects of communication and autonomy
   followed by open ended questions on why certain practices were performed
   or not. We conducted descriptive analysis of the quantitative data and
   thematic analysis of the qualitative data. Results Despite acknowledging
   the importance of various aspects of communication and women's autonomy,
   providers reported incidences of poor communication and lack of respect
   for women's autonomy: 57\% of respondents reported that providers never
   introduce themselves to women and 38\% reported that women are never
   able to be in the birthing position of their choice. Also, 33\% of
   providers reported that they did not always explain why they are doing
   exams or procedures and 73\% reported that women were not always asked
   for permission before exams or procedures. The reasons for lack of
   communication and autonomy fall under three themes with several
   sub-themes: (1) work environment-perceived lack of time, language
   barriers, stress and burnout, and facility culture; (2) provider
   knowledge, intentions, and assumptions-inadequate provider knowledge and
   skill, forgetfulness and unconscious behaviors, self-protection and
   comfort, and assumptions about women's knowledge and expectations; and
   (3) women's ability to demand or command effective communication and
   respect for their autonomy-women's lack of participation, women's
   empowerment and provider bias. Conclusions Most providers recognize the
   importance of various aspects of communication and women's autonomy, but
   they fail to provide it for various reasons. To improve communication
   and autonomy, we need to address the different factors that negatively
   affect providers' interactions with women.},

Title = {High prevalence of abscesses and self-treatment among injection drug
   users in Tijuana, Mexico},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {14},
Number = {3},
Pages = {E117-E122},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {Background: Soft tissue infections are common among injection drug users
   (IDUs), but information on correlates and treatment in this highly
   marginalized population is lacking.
   Methods: Six hundred twenty-three community-recruited IDUs in Tijuana,
   Mexico, completed a detailed interview on abscess history and treatment.
   Univariate and multiple logistic regressions were used to identify
   factors independently associated with having an abscess in the prior 6
   months.
   Results: Overall, 46\% had ever had an abscess and 20\% had had an
   abscess in the past 6 months. Only 12\% had sought medical care for
   their most recent abscess; 60\% treated the abscess themselves. The most
   common self-treatment method was to apply heated (24\%) or unheated
   (23\%) Aloe vera leaf. Other methods included draining the wound with a
   syringe (19\%) or knife (11\%). Factors independently associated with
   recent abscess were having income from sex work (adjusted odds ratio
   (aOR) 4.56, 95\% confidence interval (CI) 2.08-10.00), smoking
   methamphetamine (aOR 1.65, 95\% CI 1.05-2.62), seeking someone to help
   with injection (aOR 2.06, 95\% CI 1.18-3.61), and reporting that police
   affected where they used drugs (aOR 2.14, 95\% CI 1.15-3.96).
   Conclusions: Abscesses are common among IDUs in this setting, but
   appropriate treatment is rare. Interventions to reduce barriers to
   medical care in this population are needed. Research on the
   effectiveness of Aloe vera application in this setting is also needed,
   as are interventions to provide IDU sex workers, methamphetamine
   smokers, and those who assist with injection with the information and
   equipment necessary to reduce abscess risk. (C) 2010 International

Title = {Environmental impact assessment of laterite quarrying from
   Netravati-Gurpur river basin, South West Coast of India},
Journal = {ENVIRONMENT DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY},
Year = {2022},
Month = {2022 NOV 9},
Abstract = {Mining and quarrying provide the basic raw materials for sustaining
   human well-being and are critical for achieving economic developments.
   At the same time, environmental degradation and its associated social
   impacts and inequalities have become a grave reality of mining sector
   that affects all nations, individually and/or collectively. Assessment
   of the environmental impacts arising from mining and quarrying is
   critical to limit the environmental problems within the barest minimum
   levels. Although many impact assessment studies are available on
   mining/quarrying of different major and minor minerals, not many studies
   exist on quarrying for laterite blocks which is being widespread in many
   of the fast developing tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world
   like India. Therefore, this paper evaluates the impact of laterite
   quarrying for construction blocks, in one of the twin river basins in SW
   India, the Netravati-Gurpur river basin, where the activity is
   widespread. The Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM) method was used to
   evaluate the impacts of laterite quarrying as it allows a comprehensive
   analysis of the results based on the individual environmental score
   obtained for each component. RIAM is a valuable assessment tool, owing
   to its capability in quick, collective and reliable evaluation of the
   impacts that can aid decision making and minimization of environmental
   impacts, especially at early planning stages. Data pertaining to
   resource extraction, identification of impacting actions, mapping of
   mining hotspots, etc., were collected from primary and secondary sources
   through systematic field work and sample collection, questionnaire
   surveys within the local community and other stakeholders such as mine
   operators, labourers, officials of Government departments, etc. A total
   of 21 laterite quarries are located in the basin with a total production
   of 5.7 million laterite bricks/year (0.115 x 10(6) ty(-1)). The impact
   assessment study revealed that the activity not only disturbs the
   natural environment especially, hydrology, air quality and noise levels,
   ecology, land use and soil stability but has profound influence on the
   socio-economic factors of human health and immunity, displacement, etc.,
   of the quarrying-hit areas. The activity also recorded both long-term
   and short-term positive impacts as a source of employment and income
   generation. Additionally, the activity favours groundwater replenishment
   and agriculture productivity of the area where appropriate mine closure
   measures were taken up. However, the positive impacts of the activity
   are far outweighed by the fact that most impacts of laterite quarrying
   are of class - C (moderate negative impact) and - D (significant
   negative impact) owing to the long-term socio-environmental and
   bio-ecological implications of the activity. Thus, it is imperative that
   there is significant improvement in policy and regulatory framework and
   its implementation for mining and quarrying of building materials which
   is vital for meeting future development requirements.},

Title = {Addressing Depression Comorbid With Diabetes or Hypertension in
   Resource-Poor Settings: A Qualitative Study About User Perception of a
   Nurse-Supported Smartphone App in Peru},
Journal = {JMIR MENTAL HEALTH},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {6},
Number = {6},
Month = {JUN 18},
Abstract = {Background: Smartphone apps could constitute a cost-effective strategy
   to overcome health care system access barriers to mental health services
   for people in low- and middle-income countries.
   Objective: The aim of this paper was to explore the patients'
   perspectives of CONEMO (Emotional Control, in Spanish: Control
   Emocional), a technology-driven, psychoeducational, and nurse-supported
   intervention delivered via a smartphone app aimed at reducing depressive
   symptoms in people with diabetes, hypertension or both who attend public
   health care centers, as well as the nurses' feedback about their role
   and its feasibility to be scaled up.
   Methods: This study combines data from 2 pilot studies performed in
   Lima, Peru, between 2015 and 2016, to test the feasibility of CONEMO.
   Interviews were conducted with 29 patients with diabetes, hypertension
   or both with comorbid depressive symptoms who used CONEMO and 6 staff
   nurses who accompanied the intervention. Using a content analysis
   approach, interview notes from patient interviews were transferred to a
   digital format, coded, and categorized into 6 main domains: the
   perceived health benefit, usability, adherence, user satisfaction with
   the app, nurse's support, and suggestions to improve the intervention.
   Interviews with nurses were analyzed by the same approach and
   categorized into 4 domains: general feedback, evaluation of training,
   evaluation of study activities, and feasibility of implementing this
   intervention within the existing structures of health system.
   Results: Patients perceived improvement in their emotional health
   because of CONEMO, whereas some also reported better physical health.
   Many encountered some difficulties with using CONEMO, but resolved them
   with time and practice. However, the interactive elements of the app,
   such as short message service, android notifications, and pop-up
   messages were mostly perceived as challenging. Satisfaction with CONEMO
   was high, as was the self-reported adherence. Overall, patients
   evaluated the nurse accompaniment positively, but they suggested
   improvements in the technological training and an increase in the amount
   of contact. Nurses reported some difficulties in completing their tasks
   and explained that the CONEMO intervention activities competed with
   their everyday work routine.
   Conclusions: Using a nurse-supported smartphone app to reduce depressive
   symptoms among people with chronic diseases is possible and mostly
   perceived beneficial by the patients, but it requires context-specific
   adaptations regarding the implementation of a task shifting approach
   within the public health care system. These results provide valuable
   information about user feedback for those building mobile health
   interventions for depression.},

Title = {Micro-level perception to climate change and adaptation issues: A
   prelude to mainstreaming climate adaptation into developmental landscape
   in India},
Journal = {NATURAL HAZARDS},

Volume = {92},

Abstract = {Climate change adds another dimension of challenges to the growth and
   sustainability of Indian agriculture. The growing exposure to livelihood
   shocks from climate variability/change and limited resource base of the
   rural community to adapt has reinforced the need to mainstream climate
   adaptation planning into developmental landscape. However, a better
   understanding of micro-level perceptions is imperative for effective and
   informed planning at the macro-level. In this paper, the grass-root
   level perspectives on climate change impacts and adaptation decisions
   were elicited at farm level in the Moga district of Punjab and
   Mahbubnagar district of Telangana, India. The farmers opined that the
   climatic variability impacts more than the long-term climate change.
   They observed change in the quantum, onset and distribution of rainfall,
   rise in minimum as well as maximum temperature levels, decline in crop
   yield and ground water depletion. The key socio-economic effects of
   climate change included decline in farm income, farm unemployment, rural
   migration and increased indebtedness among farmers. In order to cope
   with climate variability and change thereon, farmers resorted to
   adaptation strategies such as use of crop varieties of suitable
   duration, water conservation techniques, crop insurance and
   participation in non-farm activities and employment guarantee schemes.
   Farmers' adaptation to changing climate was constrained by several
   technological, socio-economic and institutional barriers. These include
   limited knowledge on the costs-benefits of adaptation, lack of access to
   and knowledge of adaptation technologies, lack of financial resources
   and limited information on weather. Besides, lack of access to input
   markets, inadequate farm labour and smaller farm size were the other
   constraints. Further, on the basis of the grass-root elicitation a
   `Need-Based Adaptation' planning incorporating farmers' perceptions on
   climate change impacts, constraints in the adoption of adaptation
   strategies and plausible adaptation options were linked with the most
   suitable ongoing programmatic interventions of the Government of India.
   The study concluded that micro-level needs and constraints for various
   adaptation strategies and interventions should be an integral part of
   the programme development, implementation and evaluation in the entire
   developmental paradigm.},

   infants with essential stimulation during early stages of development to
   Apps that help teachers to facilitate the reading and writing process at
   the time they enjoy and explore the technology in a friendly and natural
   way. As a result of our research project, we found that some apps are
   based on decades of research and beautifully designed, they were planned
   to provide as much stimulation as possible, some of them use bold,
   high-contrast symbols, shapes, patterns, and captivating sounds, proven
   to be preferred by infants. We decided to use apps as teaching aids and
   we chose those with a higher level of stimulation in the areas of
   cognitive and motor development, but with impressive potential to
   provide with significant visual tracking, scanning, and object
   permanence, the aim was considered in two main ways, using English as a
   communication channel and technology that speeds myelination of brain
   cells. On the other hand, the term `early intervention' designates
   educational and neuro-protection strategies aimed at enhancing brain
   development. Using technology as one of these strategies increases both
   the teaching experience for the teachers in charge of the early
   stimulation, as well as the learning experience for babies. Early
   educational strategies seek to take advantage of cerebral plasticity,
   according to the experts, from the born day to the age of seven,
   represent the most adequate and important period to generate as much
   neuro-connections as possible. In our experience we have observed that
   kids respond naturally and friendly to the chosen apps as teaching aids
   to present vocabulary, to practice hand writing, to read stories and to
   have fun at the time they practice math, sciences and other skills.
   Early stimulation programs were first devised in the United States for
   vulnerable children in low-income families; positive effects were
   recorded regarding school failure rates and social problems. In the
   language learning area, we decided to put in practice a stimulation
   program in the University of Colima's Baby Day Care Department BDCD
   (Estancias Infantiles in Spanish). The institution attends the kids of
   every woman that works for the University. It is organized in rooms that
   keep the kids in periods of 6 months, the first three years and twelve
   months for the last year they spend at the BDCD. The class took place
   two days a week for each room in sessions of 30 minutes a day. The
   results so far shows positive results, from the day we began to now we
   had a great amount of significant experiences we would like to share in
   a full paper, as well as in the presentation.},

Abstract = {Background Helmet use among bike-share users is low. We sought to
   characterize helmet-use patterns, barriers to helmet use, and cycling
   safety practices among bike-share users in Toronto.
   Methods A standardized survey of public bike-share program (PBSP) users
   at semi-random distribution of PBSP stations was undertaken. By
   maintaining a ratio of one helmet-wearer (HW): two non-helmet-wearers
   (NHW) per survey period, we controlled for location, day, time, and
   weather.
   Results Surveys were completed on 545 (180 HW, 365 NHW) unique users at
   48/80 PBSP locations, from November 2012 to August 2013. More females
   wore helmets (F: 41.1\%, M: 30.9\%, p=0.0423). NHWs were slightly
   younger than HWs (NHW mean age 34.4 years vs HW 37.3, p=0.0018). The
   groups did not differ by employment status, education, or income. Helmet
   ownership was lower among NHWs (NHW: 62.4\% vs HW: 99.4\%, p<0.0001), as
   was personal bike ownership (NHW: 65.8\%, vs HW: 78.3\%, p=0.0026). NHWs
   were less likely to always wear a helmet on personal bikes (NHW: 22.2\%
   vs HW: 66.7\%, p<0.0001), and less likely to wear a helmet always or
   most of the time on PBSP (NHW: 5.8\% vs HW: 92.3\%, p<0.0001). Both
   groups, but more HWs, had planned to use PBSP when leaving their houses
   (HW: 97.2\% vs NHW: 85.2\%, p<0.0001), primarily to get to work (HW:
   88.3\% vs NHW: 84.1\%, p=0.19). NHWs were more likely to report that
   they would wear a helmet more (NHW: 61.4\% vs HW: 13.9\%, p<0.0001),
   and/or cycle less (NHW: 22.5\% vs HW: 4.4\%) if helmet use was
   mandatory.
   Conclusions PBSP users surveyed appear to make deliberate decisions
   regarding helmet use. NHWs tended to be male, slightly younger, and less
   likely to use helmets on their personal bikes. As Toronto cyclists who
   do not wear helmets on PBSP generally do not wear helmets on their
   personal bikes, interventions to increase helmet use should target both
   personal and bike-share users. Legislating helmet use and provision of
   rental helmets could improve helmet use among bike-share users, but our
   results suggest some risk of reduced cycling with legislation.
   Resume
   Contexte Peu d'usagers des services de partage de velos portent le
   casque. Aussi les auteurs ont-ils cherche a caracteriser les habitudes
   du port du casque, les obstacles a son utilisation et les pratiques en
   matiere de securite parmi les usagers du service de partage de velos a
   Toronto.
   Methode Une enquete normalisee a ete menee parmi les usagers du
   programme public de partage de velos (PPPV), a differentes stations,
   choisies selon une repartition semi-aleatoire. Les auteurs, en
   maintenant constant le rapport de un porteur de casque (PC)/deux
   non-porteurs de casques (NPC) par periode d'enquete, ont neutralise les
   variables relatives au lieu, au jour, a l'heure et au temps (conditions
   meteorologiques).
   Resultats L'enquete a porte sur 545 (180 PC; 365 NPC) usagers
   differents, a 48/80 stations, de novembre 2012 a aout 2013. Les femmes
   (F) etaient plus nombreuses que les hommes (H) a porter le casque (F:
   41,1 \%; H: 30,9 \%; p=0,0423). Les NPC etaient un peu plus jeunes que
   les PC (NPC: 34,4 ans en moyenne contre {[}c.] PC: 37,3 ans en moyenne;
   p=0,0018). Par contre, il n'y avait pas de difference entre les groupes
   quant a la situation de l'emploi, aux etudes ou au revenu. Le fait de
   posseder son propre casque etait plus faible parmi les NPC (NPC: 62,4 \%
   c. PC: 99,4 \%; p<0,0001) que parmi les PC, tout comme le fait de
   posseder sa propre bicyclette (NPC: 65,8 \% c. PC: 78,3 \%; p=0,0026).
   Les NPC avaient moins tendance a toujours porter un casque sur leur
   bicyclette personnelle (NPC: 22,2 \% c. PC: 66,7 \%; p<0,0001) et a
   toujours ou presque toujours porter un casque sur les bicyclettes du
   PPPV (NPC: 5,8 \% c. PC: 92,3 \%; p<0,0001). Dans les deux groupes, mais
   davantage dans celui des PC, les cyclistes avaient prevu recourir au
   PPPV au depart de la maison (PC: 97,2 \% c. NPC: 85,2 \%; p<0,0001),
   surtout pour se rendre au travail (PC: 88,3 \% c. NPC: 84,1 \%; p=0,19).
   Les NPC etaient plus nombreux que les PC a indiquer qu'ils porteraient
   le casque plus souvent (NPC: 61,4 \% c. PC: 13,9 \%, p<0,0001) et/ou
   qu'ils feraient moins de bicyclette (NPC: 22,5 \% c. PC: 4,4 \%) si le
   port du casque devenait obligatoire.
   Conclusions Les usagers du PPPV ayant participe a l'enquete semblent
   avoir fait un choix delibere quant au port du casque. Les NPC etaient en
   general des hommes, un peu plus jeunes que les PC et les premiers
   avaient moins tendance que les seconds a porter un casque sur leur
   bicyclette personnelle. Comme les cyclistes qui ne portent pas de casque
   sur les bicyclettes du PPPV n'en portent generalement pas sur leur
   bicyclette personnelle a Toronto, les interventions visant a accroitre
   le port du casque devraient viser autant les proprietaires de bicyclette
   personnelle que les usagers du service de partage de velos. Toutefois,
   le fait d'imposer le port du casque et la fourniture de casques de
   location par voie legislative pourrait certes ameliorer le port du
   casque parmi les usagers du service de partage de velos, mais, d'apres
   les resultats de l'enquete, cela pourrait aussi avoir pour consequence
   de diminuer l'usage de la bicyclette.},

Title = {Physical Activity Types and Programs Recommended by Primary Care
   Providers Treating Adults With Arthritis, DocStyles 2018},
Journal = {PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASE},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {18},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Primary care providers (PCPs) can offer counseling to adults with
   arthritis on physical activity, which can reduce pain and improve
   physical function, mental health, and numerous other health outcomes. We
   analyzed cross-sectional 2018 DocStyles data for 1,366 PCPs who reported
   they always or sometimes recommend physical activity to adults with
   arthritis. Most PCPs sampled (88.2\%) recommended walking, swimming, or
   cycling; 65.5\% did not recommend any evidence-based,
   arthritis-appropriate physical activity programs recognized by the
   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Opportunities exist for
   public health awareness campaigns to educate PCPs about evidence-based
   physical activity programs proven to optimize health for adults with
   arthritis when more than counseling is needed. Objective Physical
   activity is recommended for adults with all types of arthritis because
   it can reduce pain and improve physical functioning, mood, and quality
   of life (1,2). Professional organizations encourage health care
   professionals to counsel adults with arthritis on physical activity and
   recommend supervised programs when needed (3,4). Primary care providers
   (PCPs) frequently treat arthritis (5) and are instrumental in promoting
   physical activity. Although we previously found that 98.4\% of PCPs
   always or sometimes recommend physical activity to adults with arthritis
   (6), the content of physical activity counseling may affect its
   effectiveness (3). Addressing patient concerns (eg, arthritis-specific
   physical activity barriers such as pain) warrants specific guidance and
   referrals to safe, supervised programs (3). To build on a previous
   study, we examined physical activity types and programs recommended
   among PCPs recommending physical activity to adults with any type of
   arthritis and compared distributions of characteristics of PCPs
   recommending programs versus PCPs unaware of them. Methods We analyzed
   cross-sectional data from 2018 Porter Novelli Doc Styles
   (https://styles.porternovelli.com/docstyles), an online national market
   research survey assessing PCP attitudes, patient en counters, and use of
   medical information resources. Eligible Doc-Styles participants were
   family practitioners, internists, obstetri-cian/gynecologists, and nurse
   practitioners aged 21 or older, liv-ing and practicing in the US,
   practicing for at least 3 years, treat-ing at least 10 patients weekly,
   and working at an individual, group, or inpatient practice. From June
   through August 2018, Porter Novelli invited participants by email to
   complete the sur-vey from the Sermo Global Medical Panel
   (www.sermo.com), SurveyHealthcareGlobus
   (www.surveyhealthcareglobus.com), and WebMD (www.webmd.com). Target
   quotas (1,000 PCPs, 250 ob-stetricians/gynecologists, and 250 nurse
   practitioners) were met by inviting highly responsive participants
   (defined as completing >75\% of any kind of survey {[}not only
   DocStyles] in which they had been invited to participate) first from
   among those not parti-cipating in DocStyles 2017. Of 2,582 invited
   persons, 1,505 com-pleted the survey (response rate, 58.3\%) and were
   compensated \$55 to \$77 based on number of questions asked. We excluded
   116 PCPs not treating adults with arthritis and 23 never recommend-ing
   physical activity, which resulted in an analytic sample of 1,366.
   Additional survey details are available elsewhere (6). Al-though
   analyses were not subject to Centers for Disease Control and
   Prevention's (CDC's) institutional review board, we followed all Council
   of American Survey Research Organizations guidelines, and the data set
   was deidentified.
   The 2018 DocStyles Survey included a module with questions about
   recommendations for CDC-recognized arthritis-appropriate physical
   activity programs (hereafter ``programs{''}) (7), which have an evidence
   base for addressing physical activity barriers (8). PCPs treating an
   average of at least 1 adult with arthritis weekly completed multiple
   choice questions about physical activity coun-seling for adults with
   arthritis, including physical activity types, programs recommended, and
   reasons for not recommending pro-grams. We calculated percentages for
   physical activity type and program variables overall (N = 1,366) and
   reasons for not recommending programs among PCPs not recommending
   programs (n = 895). To identify opportunities for promoting program
   awareness, we gen-erated distributions of PCP characteristics overall (N
   = 1,366) and for those recommending programs (n = 471) and unaware of
   pro-grams (n = 710). We generated percentages using SAS version 9.4 (SAS
   Institute Inc); we performed chi 2 tests in Excel version 2008
   (Microsoft Corp) to assess differences (significant at alpha = .05)
   between PCP groups. Results PCPs were commonly aged 50 or older (46.2\%;
   95\% CI, 43.5\%-48.8\%), men (57.5\%; 95\% CI, 54.8\%-60.1\%),
   non-Hispanic White (67.1\%; 95\% CI, 64.6\%-69.6\%), and working in a
   group outpatient practice (67.5\%; 95\% CI, 65.0\%-70.0\%) (Ta-ble).
   Most PCPs recommended walking, swimming, or cycling (88.2\%; 95\% CI,
   86.5\%-89.9\%), stretching (63.8\%; 95\% CI, 61.3\%-66.4\%), and
   physical therapy (60.8\%; 95\% CI, 58.2\%-63.4\%) (Figure). Programs
   were recommended less fre-quently than physical activity: 34.5\% (n =
   471) of PCPs recom-mended 1 or more programs. The most commonly
   recommended programs were the Arthritis Foundation's Aquatic Program
   (18.0\%; 95\% CI, 16.0\%-20.0\%), the Arthritis Foundation's Exer-cise
   Program (14.4\%; 95\% CI, 12.6\%-16.3\%), and Walk With Ease (13.8\%;
   95\% CI, 12.0\%-15.7\%) (Figure). Most PCPs did not recommend any
   programs (65.5\%; 95\% CI, 63.0\%-68.0\%); among this group (n = 895),
   the most commonly reported reasons were being unaware of them (n = 710;
   79.3\%; 95\% CI, 76.7\%-82.0\%); programs were unavailable in their area
   (22.5\%; 95\% CI, 19.7\%-25.2\%), unaffordable for patients (12.5\%;
   95\% CI, 10.3\%-14.7\%), or inaccessible to patients (12.2\%; 95\% CI,
   10.0\%-14.3\%); and believing patients would not attend (10.5\%; 95\%
   CI, 8.5\%-12.5\%).},

Title = {Mobile ultrasound vascular assessment (MUVA) for remote and conflict
   areas},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF HUMANITARIAN LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2023},
Month = {2023 JUL 11},
Abstract = {PurposeThis study aims to facilitate access to vascular disease
   screening for low-income individuals living in remote and conflict areas
   based on the results of a pilot trial in Colombia. Also, to increase the
   amount of diagnosis training of vascular surgery (VS) in civilians.
   Design/methodology/approachThe operation method includes five stages:
   strategy development and adjustment; translation of the strategy into a
   real-world setting; operation logistics planning; strategy analysis and
   adoption. The operation plan worked efficiently in this study's sample.
   It demonstrated high sensibility, efficiency and safety in a real-world
   setting. FindingsThe authors developed and implemented a flow model
   operating plan for screening vascular pathologies in low-income patients
   pro bono without proper access to vascular health care. A total of 140
   patients from rural areas in Colombia were recruited to a controlled
   screening session where they underwent serial noninvasive ultrasound
   assessments conducted by health professionals of different training
   stages in VS. Research limitations/implicationsThe plan was designed to
   be implemented in remote, conflict areas with limited access to VS care.
   Vascular injuries are critically important and common among civilians
   and military forces in regions with active armed conflicts. As this
   strategy can be modified and adapted to different medical specialties
   and geographic areas, the authors recommend checking the related
   legislation and legal aspects of the intended areas where we will
   implement this tool. Practical implicationsDifferent sub-specialties can
   implement the described method to be translated into significant areas
   of medicine, as the authors can adjust the deployment and execution for
   the assessment in peripheral areas, conflict zones and other public
   health crises that require a faster response. This is necessary, as the
   amount of training to which VS trainees are exposed is low. A simulated
   exercise offers a novel opportunity to enhance their current diagnostic
   skills using ultrasound in a controlled environment. Social
   implicationsEvaluating and assessing patients with limited access to
   vascular medicine and other specialties can decrease the burden of
   vascular disease and related complications and increase the number of
   treatments available for remote communities. Originality/valueIt is
   essential to assess the most significant number of patients and treat
   them according to their triage designation. This management is similar
   to assessment in remote areas without access to a proper VS consult. The
   authors were able to determine, classify and redirect to therapeutic
   interventions the patients with positive findings in remote areas with a
   fast deployment methodology in VS. Plain language summaryAccess to
   health care is limited due to multiple barriers and the assessment and
   response, especially in peripheral areas that require a highly skilled
   team of medical professionals and related equipment. The authors tested
   a novel mobile assessment tool for remote and conflict areas in a rural
   zone of Colombia.},

Abstract = {There has been a growing level of interest in female entrepreneurship in
   recent years. Initially, there was an awareness of the lower
   participation of women than men in the creation and growth of new
   enterprises. More recently, there is recognition that female
   entrepreneurship can have a positive impact on economic prosperity. This
   paper looks at female entrepreneurship in a rural area, as well as their
   motivation for starting a business and their attitude towards growth.
   Entrepreneurs start a business for a variety of reasons, such as making
   money, flexible working hours, others may want to employ family members
   or feel they have no other option. It can be difficult to start a
   business in any circumstance yet there is evidence that some groups may
   find it more difficult. Women in particular, may face additional
   problems starting a business. Access to resources, including finance,
   skills and access to markets, may be more difficult for some females.
   One of the reasons given by the EU (2002:3) for promoting female
   entrepreneurship is that they are a source of `economic growth and new
   jobs' and that the barriers they face in setting up and running a
   business must be tackled. There is an understanding that entrepreneurs
   in general make a contribution towards economic growth, mainly in terms
   of job creation but also in terms of innovation. Therefore, if the
   numbers of entrepreneurs can be increased by bringing the levels of
   female entrepreneurship to the equivalent for male business owners, then
   that will help the economy. In the US, female entrepreneurs account for
   38.8\% of all privately owned firms (Minniti et al, 2005) and this is
   seen as one of the reasons for the higher GDP than in countries where
   the participation rate for women is lower.
   This paper looks at four case studies of women in a rural area. Low farm
   incomes and a lack of alternative employment can act as an impetus for
   female entrepreneurship in rural areas. Distance from local markets can
   make it more difficult for a rural enterprise to succeed and generally,
   rural businesses have a lower turnover than those in urban conurbations.
   The case studies include a farmer's wife trying to generate additional
   income, one running an IT business from home, another developing a
   forestry business, and one running a seed business and opening a fashion
   retail outlet. Two of the women are very successful and are making good
   profits whereas the other two are barely making a living. What are the
   differences between these women? This paper looks at the different
   attitudes of these women, their reasons for starting a business and how
   they are trying to grow their businesses. This study found that although
   they did want to grow their business and make money, their main
   motivation was the lifestyle.},

Title = {Evaluating the Effectiveness of Text Messaging and Phone Call Reminders
   to Minimize No Show at Pediatric Outpatient Clinics in Pakistan:
   Protocol for a Mixed-Methods Study},
Journal = {JMIR RESEARCH PROTOCOLS},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {7},
Number = {4},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Background: Missing health care appointments without canceling in
   advance results in a no show, a vacant appointment slot that cannot be
   offered to others. No show can be reduced by reminding patients about
   their appointment in advance. In this regard, mobile health (mHealth)
   strategy is to use text messaging (short message service, SMS), which is
   available on all cellular phones, including cheap low-end handsets.
   Nonattendance for appointments in health care results in wasted
   resources and disturbs the planned work schedules.
   Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the
   current text messaging (SMS) and call-based reminder system and further
   explore how to improve the attendance at the pediatric outpatient
   clinics. The primary objectives are to (1) determine the efficacy of the
   current clinic appointment reminder service at pediatric outpatient
   clinics at Aga Khan University Hospital, (2) assess the mobile phone
   access and usage among caregivers visiting pediatrics consultant
   clinics, and (3) explore the perception and barriers of parents
   regarding the current clinic appointment reminder service at the
   pediatric outpatient clinics at Aga Khan University Hospital.
   Methods: The study uses a mixed-method design that consists of 3
   components: (1) retrospective study (component A) which aims to
   determine the efficacy of text messaging (SMS) and phone call based
   reminder service on patient's clinic attendance during January to June
   2017 (N=58,517); (2) quantitative (component B) in which a baseline
   survey will be conducted to assess the mobile phone access and usage
   among parents/caregivers of children visiting pediatrics consultant
   clinics (n=300); and (3) qualitative (component C) includes in-depth
   interviews and focus group discussion with parents/caregivers of
   children visiting the pediatric consultancy clinic and with health care
   providers and administrative staff. Main constructs will be to explore
   perceptions and barriers related to existing clinic appointment reminder
   service. Ethics approval has been obtained from the Ethical Review
   Committee, Aga Khan University, Pakistan (4770-Ped-ERC-17).
   Results: Results will be disseminated to pediatric quality public health
   and mHealth communities through scientific meetings and through
   publications, nationally and internationally.
   Conclusions: This study will provide insight regarding efficacy of using
   mHealth-based reminder services for patient's appointments in low- and
   middle-income countries setup. The finding of this study will be used to
   recommend further enhanced mHealth-based solutions to improve patient
   appointments and decrease no show.},

Title = {Regional analysis of Spanish high-tech manufacturing exports to East
   Asian countries},
Journal = {REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS REGIONALES},
Year = {2021},
Number = {121},
Pages = {103-136},
Month = {MAY-AUG},
Abstract = {In the last decades, the East Asian region has experienced important
   economic transformations that have led to important growth and economic
   development. A crucial part of this growth has been due to the
   contribution of the foreign sector, and more specifically the trade in
   manufactures, establishing a model of economic growth based largely on
   exports of this type of goods.
   The Spanish foreign sector has also undergone important changes in
   recent decades, although the need to expand foreign markets and the
   improvement of the technological intensity of manufactured exports are
   two pending tasks to be able to compete more efficiently in the
   international markets. The Spanish authorities have emphasised these
   needs and have been defined as objectives to be achieved in the
   different internationalisation strategies for the Spanish economy
   designed in recent years, and although improvements have been made,
   there is still ample scope to deepen the reforms needed to achieve a
   more efficient pattern of manufacturing specialisation. In most cases,
   the analysis of these deficiencies has been confined to the country,
   without paying special attention to the study of the regional aspect,
   and to the high regional geographic concentration in the Spanish
   production of manufactures with a higher technological content,
   highlighting the unavoidable need to implement economic policy tools to
   improve the supply of new products with high technological content.
   This article analyses the technological intensity of manufactures
   exported by the Spanish autonomous communities to the world and the main
   territories of East Asia: China, Japan, Korea, ASEAN, Hong Kong and
   Taiwan, for the period 2000 to 2016. As we mentioned before, this choice
   is based on the importance that these territories have achieved in the
   international markets of manufactures in general, and of manufactures
   with high technological intensity in particular, and also based on the
   low presence in the economic literature in Spain.
   This analysis fills a crucial gap in the economic literature regarding
   the technological intensity of manufactures exported by Spanish regions,
   and it is for this reason that our study aims to provide scientific
   evidence for the case of the technological intensity of manufactures
   exported by Spanish autonomous communities to the world and to the East
   Asian region. Therefore, it could serve as an important tool on the
   assessment of economic policy measures implemented to increase regional
   exports of manufactures with a higher technological content. This work
   can also be a good tool for Spanish companies that wish to
   internationalise their processes in the countries of the study,
   identifying market niches and difficulties in internationalising their
   processes in East Asian countries. Likewise, it can serve the Spanish
   authorities at national and regional level in charge of designing
   policies aimed at favouring these processes of business
   internationalisation, identifying comparative advantages, and
   reinforcing economic policy tools aimed at improving the financing,
   training and qualification of companies exporting manufactures with a
   high technological content. Thus, this article has a significant
   relevance due to the need to improve the regional export propensity of
   manufactures with a higher technological content, since achieving these
   objectives could help to attain greater economic growth, showing that
   product specialisation from the point of view of technological intensity
   is not neutral on potential of wealth creation.
   One of the aims of this paper is to determine the weight of the foreign
   manufacturing sector in the Spanish regional economies, since the
   measures and the scope of the economic policies to be implemented to
   improve the technological intensity of manufacturing will depend to a
   certain degree on the importance of this sector in each of the
   autonomous communities, and for this it will be essential to determine
   the technological breakdown of manufactures exported by the Spanish
   regions to the world and to the countries of East Asia, as well as to
   analyse the evolution of their technological pattern during the study
   period. This article also aims to determine the main manufactures with
   high technological intensity exported by the Spanish regions to the
   countries of East Asia, to analyse their level of concentration, and the
   degree of similarity of the distributions of exports of manufactures
   with high technological intensity among each of the Spanish autonomous
   communities, and that of Spain as a whole. The database used in this
   study is Datacomex of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism of
   Spain, which collects data on declared trade provided by the Department
   of Customs and Special Taxes of the State Agency of the Tax
   Administration.
   In the regional study of manufactures exported according to their
   technological content by Spain and by the Spanish regions to the world
   and the countries of East Asia, a statistical analysis is carried out
   using the technological classification established by the OECD, where
   manufactures are broken down into four groups: high technology
   manufactures, medium-high technology, medium-low technology, and low
   technology. The disaggregation of manufactures used in this article is
   at five-digit level, which provides a high level of disaggregation,
   avoiding the likely drawbacks derived from a high level of aggregation.
   In the analysis of the concentration of exported manufactures, we used
   the Theil concentration index, while in the study of the similarity
   between the distributions of exports to the world and to the East Asian
   countries regarding manufactures with high technological intensity,
   between the Spainsh regions and Spain as whole, we use the
   Finger-Kreinin index.
   From the analysis of the manufactures exports, it is observed that there
   is no clear relationship between the weight of the manufacturing sector
   in the regional economies and the volume of exports with high
   technological intensity. Although it is difficult to establish a pattern
   regarding the evolution of manufactures with high intensity exported by
   the Spanish regions, some autonomous communities, such as the Community
   of Madrid, have significantly increased the proportion of manufactures
   exported with high technological intensity as they increased their sales
   abroad in absolute terms, establishing a pattern of industrialisation
   focused on those manufactures with a higher added value. Moreover, from
   the analysis of manufactures exports to the countries of East Asia, we
   can conclude that exports values can be improved both in quantitative
   and qualitative terms, and that there is a significant concentration of
   manufactures exports in a few regions. Madrid, followed by Castilla-Leon
   and Andalucia are among the Spanish regions that showed a good
   performance during the study period, and among those that better adapted
   to the pattern of specialisation of Asian imports, on the other hand are
   regions such as Galicia, Cantabria, Extremadura or Murcia. Likewise, the
   evolution of the value of exports of manufactures with high
   technological intensity is very heterogeneous, and there is no a defined
   pattern.
   From the analysis of the concentration index, it is observed that a high
   concentration is associated with a low level of value exports, that is
   why as value of exports increases, there is a greater product
   diversification. Moreover, there is a greater concentration in
   manufactures exported to the East Asian countries than those exported to
   the rest of the world. Overall, from the results obtained by the
   Finger-Kreinin index, we can conclude that the Spanish regions have a
   distribution of exports of manufactures with a high technological
   intensity quite similar to that of the nation as a whole, that these
   distributions have been homogenised with that of the country as a whole
   over time, with a greater homogeneity in the case of those regions with
   high propensity to exports manufactures of high technological content.},

Abstract = {Introduction. Back pain is a major problem in the workplace. Back pain
   is also responsible for considerable economic costs and can have serious
   social repercussions in our society. In this study we present the
   results of four years of study combining the findings of two different
   medical teams involved in the treatment of chronic back pain: the
   occupational health department in Brest (service de sante au travail en
   Iroise {[}STI], Brest and a service of physiotherapy and rehabilitation
   medicine in Roscoff, France.
   Methodology. Our model is based on the diagnosis of a problem of chronic
   back pain in various workers. The diagnosis is proposed by doctors
   associated with the occupational health department of Brest, based on a
   specific protocol that covers workers who have been suffering from
   chronic back pain for more than 3 months with an obvious impact on the
   quality of their work. Each individual medical case was then studied by
   a joint medical committee composed of doctors specialized in
   occupational health concerns and doctors specialized in physical
   rehabilitation. On the basis of the committee's findings, it has (or
   not) been possible to offer to the back pain sufferers a series of
   physical therapy and functional re-education sessions, as well as an
   ergonomic study of their workstation. One year later, a new evaluation
   of the situation was systematically undertaken by comparing the ODI,
   HADS and Karasek tests for each individual.
   Results. One hundred and eighty-three workers were presented to the
   joint committee of occupational health practitioners and physical
   rehabilitation specialists between 2010 and 2013. Each case was then
   re-evaluated one year later. Only 90 cases were taken in charge by the
   rehabilitation and functional re-education center. Seventy-one cases
   were re-evaluated by the committee of doctors one year later. Among
   these cases, 18 workers were declared unfit with no work resumption.
   Seven of the original 90 cases were lost from sight. After one year,
   78.9\% of the subjects included in the program were working, whereas
   only 55.7\% of them were on their jobs at the beginning of the program.
   A total of 67.9\% of the patients (or workers) declared that they felt a
   physical improvement in their back pain. Seventy-five percent of the
   patients were recognized as disabled workers. On average, their ODI
   score was improved (by 10 points) as well as their psychological
   profile, in terms of less depression and less anxiety.
   Discussion. We compare our model to other types of health care offered
   to patients suffering from chronic back pain, especially the Sherbrooke
   model. We confirm the importance of multidisciplinary care based on the
   bio-psychosocial well-being profile. The first results we are publishing
   are more positive than those presented in other studies, although it is
   difficult to compare this particular ``protocol{''} with others. On the
   other hand, we found no clear benefit in the ergonomic adaptation of the
   workstation, unlike other studies. However, the benefits of physical
   rehabilitation/re-adaptatiOn, (and sports) are confirmed. A global
   approach using a well-defined protocol that takes in charge patients
   (workers) suffering from chronic back pain by an occupational health
   service and then through a close relationship with a physical
   rehabilitation center has provided encouraging results. However, it is
   still possible to improve these results, especially by integrating
   suggestions by specialists in ergonomics with those of the occupational
   therapists in order to optimize the adaptation of certain workstations.

Abstract = {Three barriers investigators often encounter when conducting
   longitudinal work with homeless or other marginalized populations are
   difficulty tracking participants, high rates of no-shows for follow-up
   interviews, and high rates of loss to follow-up. Recent research has
   shown that homeless populations have substantial access to information
   technologies, including mobile devices and computers. These technologies
   have the potential both to make longitudinal data collection with
   homeless populations easier and to minimize some of these methodological
   challenges. This pilot study's purpose was to test whether individuals
   who were homeless and sleeping on the streets-the Bstreet homeless-would
   answer questions remotely through a web-based data collection system at
   regular ``followup{''} intervals. We attempted to simulate longitudinal
   data collection in a condensed time period. Participants (N = 21)
   completed an in-person baseline interview. Each participant was given a
   remotely reloadable gift card. Subsequently, weekly for 8 weeks,
   participants were sent an email with a link to a SurveyMonkey
   questionnaire. Participants were given 48 h to complete each
   questionnaire. Data were collected about life on the streets, service
   use, community inclusion, substance use, and high-risk sexual behaviors.
   Ten dollars was remotely loaded onto each participant's gift card when
   they completed the questionnaire within the completion window. A
   substantial number of participants (67\% of the total sample and 86\% of
   the adjusted sample) completed at least seven out of the eight follow-up
   questionnaires. Most questionnaires were completed at public libraries,
   but several were completed at other types of locations (social service
   agencies, places of employment, relative/friend/acquaintance's
   domiciles, or via mobile phone). Although some of the questions were
   quite sensitive, very few participants skipped any questions. The only
   variables associated with questionnaire completion were frequency of
   computer use and education- both positive associations. This pilot study
   suggests that collecting longitudinal data online may be feasible with a
   subpopulation of persons experiencing homelessness. We suspect that
   participant follow-up rates using web-based data collection methods have
   the potential to exceed follow-up rates using traditional in-person
   interviews. If this population of persons experiencing street
   homelessness can be successful with this method of data collection,
   perhaps other disenfranchised, difficult-to-track, or difficult-to-reach
   populations could be followed using web-based data collection methods.
   Local governments are striving to decrease the ``digital divide,{''}
   providing free or greatly discounted wi-fi connectivity as well as
   mobile computer lab access to low-income geographic areas. These
   actions, in combination with increased smart phone ownership, may permit
   vulnerable populations to connect and communicate with investigators.},

Title = {Can community health workers increase modern contraceptive use among
   young married women? A cross-sectional study in rural Niger},
Journal = {REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {16},
Month = {MAR 25},
Abstract = {BackgroundThe Republic of Niger has the highest rate of early marriage
   and adolescent fertility in the world. Recent global health initiatives,
   such as Family Planning 2020, have reinvigorated investments in family
   planning in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As part of this
   initiative, Niger has implemented ambitious plans to increase
   contraceptive prevalence through policies designed to increase coverage
   and access to family planning services. One strategy involves the
   deployment of volunteer community health workers (relais communautaires)
   in rural settings to improve access to family planning services,
   especially among adolescents and youth. The objective of this article is
   to determine if visits by relais are associated with increased use of
   modern contraception among young married women in rural
   Niger.MethodsCross-sectional data from a household survey were collected
   from young married women between the ages of 13 and 19 in three rural
   districts in the region of Dosso, Niger from May to August 2016.
   Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to assess the odds of
   married female youth reporting current use of modern contraceptive
   methods based on being visited by a relais in the past three
   months.ResultsA total of 956 young married women were included in the
   final analysis. Among study participants, 9.3\% reported a relais visit
   to discuss health issues in the past three months and 11.4\% reported
   currently using a modern method of contraception. Controlling for
   socio-demographic variables, the odds of current use of modern
   contraceptive methods were higher among young married women who were
   visited by a relais in the last three months compared to those not
   visited by a relais during this period (AOR=1.94{[}95\% CI 1.07-3.51]).
   In this study setting, relais were less likely to visit nulliparous
   women and women that worked in the past 12months.ConclusionYoung married
   women visited by relais were more likely to use modern contraceptive
   methods compared to those not visited by a relais. These results are
   consistent with similar family planning studies from sub-Saharan Africa
   and suggest that relais in Niger may be able to provide access to
   essential family planning services in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
   Additional efforts to understand the contraceptive barriers faced by
   nulliparous women and working women should be a key research priority in
   Niger.Trial registrationClinical trial registration number 2016-1430;

Abstract = {BackgroundFor women living with HIV (WLHIV), the burden of persistent
   HPV infection, cervical pre-cancerous lesions and cancer have been
   demonstrated to be higher than among HIV-negative women. As Ghana and
   other lower-middle-income countries (LMIC) work toward developing
   national cervical cancer programmes, it is essential that local
   scientific evidence be provided to guide policy decisions, especially
   for such special populations. The objective of this study was to
   determine the distribution of high-risk HPV genotype and related factors
   among WLHIV and its implication for the prevention of cervical cancer
   prevention efforts.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at the
   Cape Coast Teaching Hospital in Ghana. WLHIV, aged 25-65 years, who met
   the eligibility criteria were recruited through a simple random sampling
   method. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to gather
   socio-demographic, behavioural, clinical and other pertinent
   information. The AmpFire HPV detection system (Atila BioSystem, Mointain
   View, CA was used to detect 15 high-risk HPV genotypes from
   self-collected cervico-vaginal samples. The data collected were exported
   to STATA 16.0 for statistical analysis.ResultsIn all, 330 study
   participants, with mean age of 47.2 years (SD +/- 10.7), were involved.
   Most (69.1\%, n = 188/272) had HIV viral loads < 1000 copies/ml and
   41.2\% (n = 136) had ever heard of cervical screening. The overall
   hr-HPV prevalence was 42.7\% (n = 141, 95\% CI 37.4-48.1) and the five
   commonest hr-HPV types among screen positives were HPV59 (50.4\%), HPV18
   (30.5\%), HPV35 (26.2\%), HPV58 (17\%) and HPV45 (14.9\%). Most infected
   women (60.3\%, n = 85) had multiple hr-HPV infections, with about 57.4\%
   (n = 81) having 2-5 h-HPV types, while 2.8\% (n = 4) had more than five
   hr-HPV types. A total of 37.6\% (n = 53) had HPV16 and/or18, while
   66.0\% (n = 93) had the hr-HPV genotypes covered by the nonavalent
   vaccine. Women with HIV viral load >= 1000copies/ml (AOR = 5.58, 95\% CI
   2.89-10.78, p < 0.001) had a higher likelihood of being
   co-infected.ConclusionThis study found out that the prevalence of hr-HPV
   still remains high in women with HIV, with a notable occurrence of
   multiple infections and infection with genotypes 16 and/or18.
   Additionally, an association was established between hr-HPV and
   infection HIV viral load.. Therefore, comprehensive HIV care for these
   women should include awareness of cervical cancer, consideration of
   vaccination and implementation of screening and follow-up protocols.
   National programmes in LMIC, such as Ghana, should consider using
   HPV-based screen-triage-treat approach with partial genotyping.},

Title = {PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
   INSTITUTIONAL THEORY},
Journal = {BALTIC JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC STUDIES},

Volume = {4},
Number = {1},
Pages = {139-147},
Abstract = {One of the priorities of socio-economic reform in Ukraine is the
   modernization of the structure of the national economy and its growth.
   An effective structure of the economy, which will correspond to a
   socially oriented model of economic growth and will be based on the use
   of both the country's competitive advantages in the global division of
   labour and the economic benefits of cooperation, will guarantee the
   independence of any country and will be the key to its dynamic
   development. The development of economic theory is due to the emergence
   of fundamentally new ideas, sustainable accumulation of knowledge,
   intellectual and meaningful updating of established concepts and
   theories, the formation of new scientific schools. A new paradigm of
   economic theory should explain the real processes in real economies,
   which operate on the principles of complex systems of synergistic nature
   and the theory of nonlinear dynamics. There is a process of theoretical
   polystructuredness both of mainstream and heterodoxy. An important task
   is to form an interdisciplinary dialogue between economists and
   scientists, which stipulates the relevance of the research topic. The
   subject of the study is the theoretical and methodological foundations
   and approaches to state management of economic development in the
   context of the institutional theory. The purpose of the study is to
   determine the role and influence of public administration of the
   development of the economy in the context of institutional theory and to
   develop strategic goals of the state's innovation policy. Methodology.
   Directions of correlation of the system of economic development of the
   country and the potential of the state development with the historical
   preconditions for the emergence and development of the institutional
   doctrine of economic theory are investigated. Based on the revealed
   interrelations, the necessity of using instruments of institutionalism
   for studying the economic development system is substantiated. The
   state, in all available ways, should encourage economic actors to
   develop and implement innovations, thereby creating favourable
   conditions for innovative and technological development of production,
   saturation of the domestic market with highly competitive goods and
   services, which, in turn, will strengthen export potential, fill the
   budgets of all levels, increase incomes of business entities, reduce
   unemployment and improve working conditions, increase social security of
   the population, and also strengthen the positive image of public
   administration and local self-government bodies. That is, the
   socio-economic development of the country depends directly on the
   innovation-technological potential and on the efficiency of public
   administration in its development at all levels of the economy.
   Conclusions.
   The author generalizes the theoretical and methodological foundations of
   the country's development in the context of the institutional theory:
   the system of economic development of the state has a set of direct and
   indirect links with the historical background of the emergence and
   development of an institutional doctrine of economic theory; the
   revealed directions of correlation contribute to the formation of a
   scientific and methodological basis for further study of economic
   development and economic potential of a country (state) in the context
   of the institutional doctrine of economic theory in its relation to the
   public administration theory; the economic development of a country
   (state) depends on the institutional environment, in which it operates,
   and is both an object of its influence and a subject that determines its
   transformation. The author investigates the theoretical principles of
   state regulation of innovative and technological development of the
   country's economy. The existing strategies and programs of innovative
   development and innovation activity in Ukraine are explored. The state
   of innovation and technology of the national economy and the potential
   of key sectors of the economy in terms of innovative development are
   analysed.},

Title = {TOWARDS SOCIOLOGICAL COMPARISON OF CZECH AND SLOVAK SOCIETY},
Journal = {SOCIOLOGIA},
Year = {1994},
Volume = {26},
Number = {4},
Pages = {333+},
Abstract = {Shortly after the crucial political changes connected with the events in
   November 1989 in Czechoslovakia, some differences in political attitudes
   and behavior of the Czech and Slovak population appeared. An increasing
   tension in the Czech - Slovak relations finally led to a peaceful
   dissociation of the federal Czechoslovakia and to the formation of two
   sovereign states at the beginning of 1993. It is no wonder that this
   important change caused a serious discussion of social scientists of the
   both societies about the societal reasons and consequences of this
   unexpected and sudden historical and political phenomenon. The author of
   the present study in agreement with Jiri Musil prefers the comparison of
   different developments of cultural and social structures in the Czech
   lands and Slovakia to somewhat superficial historical and politological
   analyses of the split as a unique event.
   He disposes at some serious and historically relevant sociological
   evidence concerning the development of Czech-Slovak relationships,
   namely with the results of some representative Czech and Slovak
   sociological surveys, particularly from the years 1967, 1984, 1998,
   April 1993 and October 1993. Except the 1984 survey, he personally
   participated in all of them.
   In the second half of the 1960s, the Czech lands and Slovakia
   substantially differed in cultural and social respect. Above all one
   could observe big differences concerning the degree od urbanization in
   favour of the Czech lands. Slovakia remained then a country with
   settlement structure of rural type and with much more traditional way of
   life.
   A similar lag was characteristic for the structure of economically
   active population in respect to industrial branches. In the 1960s, the
   Czech lands belonged, according to their pre-war traditions and in the
   consequence of the enforced repeated industrialization (for military
   needs of the Soviet block in the period of the Cold War), to extensively
   industrialized societies, whereas Slovakia was rather a rural-industrial
   society where a recently started extensive industrialization went on.
   Towards the end of the 1960s the educational level of the Slovak
   population was already relatively close to that of the Czech one,
   although some distinctions still remained.
   At the same time, many important differences lasted in the material
   level of household equipment which was relatively better in the Czech
   lands. On the other hand, in consequence of the redistributive economic
   system, the average earnings were already nearly equal.
   In autumn 1967, on the very eve of the political crisis which signalized
   the outburst of events known as Prague Spring 1968, a large sociological
   survey of a representative sample of adult males dealing with social
   stratification and mobility was carried out by the Czech and Slovak
   sociologists in cooperation with the State Statistical Office. Its
   results were published two years later, unfortunately already after the
   Warsaw Pact Intervention which led to the defeat of the reform attempt
   connected with the Prague Spring. A special chapter in this book was
   written by a group of Slovak sociologists headed by R. Rosko. The
   authors proved that the social status distribution in Slovakia was in
   the late 1960s significantly lower in the average than the analogical
   distribution in the Czech lands. It was caused by small differences in
   the participation of individuals in management, in the level of work
   complexity typical for the occupational structures in question, and in
   the distribution of earnings; by more remarkable differences in level of
   education and material equipment of households; and by large differences
   concerning average income per capita, standards of consumption and
   cultural level of the life-style. In general, these findings
   demonstrated a still lasting deep cultural and social inequality of the
   Czech and Slovak part of the country. This social unbalance was
   multiplied by the consequences of the anti-Slovak political repressions
   in the late 1940s and in the 1950s and of the `'constitutional reform''
   from 1960 which brought suppression of the Slovak autonomy in favour of
   the centralized bureaucratic Prague administration. All these
   circumstances stimulated a high dissatisfaction of the relatively
   younger population of Slovakia living in conditions of a rapid
   demographic development, progress of urbanization and industrialization.
   It was important for the specific character of the social and political
   reform movement in 1968 on the Slovak territory which finally caused one
   of the few real successes of the Prague Spring - the constitutional act
   declaring federalization of the Czechoslovak Republic.
   In the practical politics of the `'normalization'' regime installed by
   the Soviet intervention in August 1968, the originally intended
   federative arrangement was `'via facti'' replaced by a new version of
   the totalitarian and bureaucratic centralism. However, this time the
   political regime was in a sense more favourable for Slovakia. The Slovak
   Communist leaders gained for more better and in some respect even
   decisive positions in the Prague central administration of the country
   than any time before. Some changes in this respect occurred only in the
   late 1980s. In consequence of all this, the process of the secondary
   redistribution of the GDP in favor of Slovakia not only continued but
   even intensified in the 1970s and 1980s. Simultaneously, political
   oppressions concerning hundreds of thousands of participants in the
   Prague Spring events were in this period sensibly weaker in Slovakia
   than in the Czech lands. Thus, paradoxically, the `'normalization
   regime'' brought some advantages for Slovakia as compared with the past.
   Some evidence for this can be find in the data collected by Czech
   sociologists in the sociological survey on `'class and social
   structure'' in 1984, i.e. shortly before the beginning of the Soviet
   `'perestroika''. A recent secondary analysis of this data shows
   therefore a cultural and social situation typical for the normalization
   system on the top point of its development. It is not very surprising
   that thanks to the permanent operation of the redistributive mechanisms
   during fifteen years after the final defeat of the Prague Spring the
   cultural and social characteristics of the Czech and Slovak adult
   populations were mutually much closer in 1984 than in 1967. There
   remained practically no differences in work complexity and in average
   earnings. The quality of housing was approximately the same. The
   households were telephonized in very close percentages. People were
   equally active in professional studying and in political activities (in
   official politics, of course). In some respects small differences in
   favour of the Czech population still existed. This is true as far as the
   global educational level, the percentage of managers and some items of
   the households equipment are concerned. In their leisure, Czech
   population was more frequently engaged in typically urban cultural
   activities. The Slovak population lived in a substantially higher
   percentage in their own private houses, in more rooms per family and in
   better environment than the Czech did. They had in more cases gardens or
   other land at their disposal and devoted themselves more frequently to
   domestic agricultural work. They also were more active in social
   contacts, in visiting relatives, neighbours and friends.
   Still slightly better economic position of the households in the Czech
   lands - caused partly by lower average number of the more aged Czech
   families - expressed itself in somewhat higher evaluation of the
   standard of living from the part of the Czech population.
   In other words, in the midst of the 1980s, the cultural and social
   characteristics of the Slovak population were already close to the Czech
   standards but some lag in this respect still existed. Anyway, the Czech
   lands represented the stagnating part of the federation, while Slovakia
   was the progressing one.
   The beginning of the Soviet perestroika signalized the Czech population
   that a new historical crisis of the Soviet-type societies was coming.
   Feelings of dissatisfaction with the stagnation of the Czech lands
   combined with political frustration of the citizens of an occupied
   country gradually grew up, particularly when some difficulties
   concerning standard of living emerged in the second half of the 1980s. A
   certain dissappointment caused by the unwillingness of the Gorbatchev's
   leadership to revise the Soviet official attitude to the events of 1968
   also played an important role. The Slovak population living still under
   the protection of current redistributive processes and under a little
   better political conditions did not feel these changes as intensively as
   the Czech did. It is no wonder that these specificities influenced the
   subjective evaluations of the economic, social, political and cultural
   situation in the country. In the public opinion polls from the second
   half of the 1980s, the degree of satisfaction of the Slovak population
   concerning nearly all questions asked then was significantly higher than
   that of the Czech citizens. Gradually, as the crisis of 1989 was coming
   nearer, the evaluations were less and less favourable for the regime in
   both republics. However, the Czech criticism grew more rapidly than the
   criticism of the population in Slovakia.
   The `'Velvet Revolution'' of 1989 was initiated mainly by the Czech
   dissidents and the politically active part of the Czech people. It found
   an active response also in analogical groups in Slovakia. However, in
   the course of the year 1990, when the outline of the radical economic
   reform was prepared by the Federal Government and the first practical
   steps of it were undertaken, a new shift in the structure of value
   orientations occurred. Of crucial significance was above all the
   declaration of President Havel demanding the liquidation of the arms
   producing industry, strongly developed particularly in Slovakia, and the
   first measures to its realization.
   The author of the study disposes at representative data from the survey
   on social transformation (autumn 1991) confronting the objective status
   positions of the adult population with their subjective attitudes. As
   far as the objective characteristics are concerned, the results of the
   survey on social transformation were summoned by the author in 1992 as
   follows:
   `'We discussed systematically all the relevant partial dimensions of the
   social position (status)...In all of these dimensions we could record
   only two significant signals of larger social differences. The first of
   them is a better standard of housing and a bigger amount of family
   fortunes in Slovakia (relativized, of course, by higher numerousness of
   families...). The second is a more often declaration of the subjective
   feelings of a worse market and especially financial attainability of
   consumption goods and services in Slovakia as well. In behind of this
   statement is hidden a more significant factor of a lower income per
   capita, connected with the already mentioned higher number of family
   members, and a different perception of the reality, influenced by the
   difference of social dynamics in the both republics. In no case,
   however, it is possible to speak about two fundamentally different
   status hierarchies with an essentially distinct context corresponding to
   two different phases of the civilization and cultural development.''
   In other words, the cultural and social processes typical of the 1970s
   and 1980s, namely the stagnation and the beginning of an absolute
   decline in the Czech Republic and the continuing (although also limited
   by the character of the totalitarian and anti-meritocratic social system
   common for both of the two parts of the Federation) relative progress in
   Slovakia led to a nearly full equalization of the social unbalance which
   had been observed in 1967.
   On the other hand, the data from 1991 revealed a deep discrepancy
   between the balanced objective data and large differences of the
   subjective perception of the social situation. In principle, the
   evaluation both of the past and of the future transformation processes
   was much more favourable in the Czech than in the Slovak Republic.
   The most apparent differences in evaluation between the two republics
   could be found in the fields of standard of living and of social
   security.
   It was quite clear that such deep differences in attitudes could not be
   explained by those objective facts that revealed the attained social
   equalization of the Czech lands and Slovakia but rather in the
   specificities of the recent development of the two societies after the
   `'Velvet Revolution''. Anyway, the contradictory shape of the popular
   attitudes became one of the stimuli that helped the victory of more
   liberal and pro-federalist rifht-wing political parties in the Czech
   Republic and rather anti-federalist political parties and movements in
   Slovakia in the elections of 1992. The election victors decided after
   relatively short negotiations, without asking people in a referendum, to
   dissociate the common state of Czechs and Slovaks. It happened at the
   beginning of 1993 in peaceful way and is acknowledged at present as a
   matter of fact by majorities of populations in both new states.
   It is highly interesting by now to find out what have been the further
   destinies of people in both countries as far as the objective positions
   and the subjective attitudes are concerned. A substantial contribution
   to this kind of knowledge could bring large representative sociological
   surveys of about 5000 adult respondents in the Czech and Slovak Republic
   that took place in April 1993 as a part of broader comparative survey on
   social stratification and mobility in Eastern Europe. The second
   important contribution could be drawn from paralel surveys of somewhat
   smaller representative samples devoted to the study of beliefs and
   behaviour of Czech and Slovak people carried out in autumn 1993.
   As far as the objective aspect of the problem is concerned, one can
   state that the economically active population of the Czech and Slovak
   Republics do not differ in none of the basic social status dimensions
   characterizing the individuals. Even the indicators of the so called
   status consistency/inconsistency, namely the rank correlations of
   education, work complexity and earnings are equal in both republics.
   Small differences have been revealed only in two newly studied status
   characteristics. The so-called social capital (the degree of development
   of purposeful informal social contacts) seems to be somewhat more
   developed in Slovakia than in the Czech Republic. On the other hand, the
   Czech lands are a little bit more progressing in the development of the
   private enterpreneurship. However, the differences are not so deep as to
   make the social stratification shape of the two societies fundamentally
   dissimilar. Thus the data concerning the social positions of
   economically active individuals prove clearly that Slovakia reached
   approximately the same level od social and cultural development as the
   Czech Republic.
   There exist, of course, some not negligible differences concerning
   social and cultural characteristics of the families, including their
   economically non-active members.
   In Slovakia, significantly more respondents declared that they were
   living in family houses. The technical equipment of the housing is
   somewhat better in the Czech lands, the size of the family flats or
   houses and the number of rooms is larger in Slovakia. The material
   equipment of the households differs somewhat in some items in favour of
   the Czech families, in some others in favour of the Slovak. The average
   amount of their family fortunes expressed in financial values seems to
   be a little higher in Slovakia. The Czech families are not so numerous
   as the relatively younger Slovak families and therefore their average
   income per capita is higher. Among the population that has been
   questioned in the stratification survey there was substantially less
   retired persons in the Slovak Republic. The percentage of unemployed
   among the respondents has been, on the contrary, some times higher in
   Slovakia. However, the final percentage of economically active was
   higher in Slovakia.
   All these characteristics are connected with well known differences of
   the two countries in the settlement structure and in the structure of
   industries and branches in national economy. In the Slovak Republic,
   significantly more people are working in agriculture, metallurgy, heavy
   industry and energetics, yet also in education, culture ans science; in
   the Czech Republic the same goes for other industry, other services,
   finance and banking. Also the already mentioned differences in the
   demographic structures play their role as well as the differences in the
   ethnical structures (large Hungarian and Gipsy minority in Slovakia) and
   in confessional structures (substantially more believers, particularly
   Roman Catholics but also Evangelics in Slovakia).
   If we take into account all the mentioned social and cultural
   differences, some of them favourable for the Czech, some for the Slovak
   Republic, we cannot notice, of course, that they are in a part derived
   from the more rural and traditional past of Slovakia as we analyzed it
   in on the basis of 1967 data. However, in the whole the weight of this
   kind of differences is not as high that it could change our basic
   statement about achieved fundamental cultural and social equality of the
   societies in question, which both now belong to the industrial type and
   started together a very similar trajectory of the post-communist
   transformation.
   However, there is one important field where the recently emerged
   differences seem to be grave. It is the standard of living of the
   households.
   In every case, we can present interesting data comparing the evaluation
   of family standards of living in the Czech lands and Slovakia in 1988
   and in 1993. In spite of the fact that they are somewhat subjectively
   coloured, especially as far as the retrospective evaluation is
   concerned, they clearly show that the obvious decline of the standard of
   living in both republics must have been much steeper in Slovakia. At the
   same time, we have here the first evidence proving the big shift of
   satisfaction/dissatisfaction attitudes in favour of the Czech lands.
   This opens the discussion of the important topic of subjective
   perception of the post-communist transformation. The evaluation, based
   on new experience, is in both republics somewhat more sceptical than in
   1991. At the same time, a remarkable change in the relation of positive
   evaluations occurred in favour of the Czech Republic. In this case also
   the experience of nine months of Slovak sovereignty evidently plays a
   certain role. In most of similar questions one can identify a constant
   phenomenon: 20-25\% less of positive and more of negative evaluations in
   Slovakia than in the Czech lands.
   The discrepancy between the relative equality of general cultural and
   social structures in the analyzed countries, on the one hand, and big
   differences in the subjective evaluations, on the other, for the first
   time revealed in the data from 1991, emerged from the data of 1993 with
   an even greater intensity. There are, in principle, three ways how to
   interpret this phenomenon.
   The first would be to query the first of the premises of our
   considerations by arguing that the residues of the traditional rural
   cultural and social relations in Slovakia are still alive, particularly
   in times of new crucial changes, and hamper the operating of relatively
   young and therefore unstable cultural and social relationships. However,
   the facts witnessing for basic equality of the present cultural and
   social structures are substantial and concern nearly all aspects of the
   daily life in both societies, so that it is not so easy to doubt them.
   There is a case for another explanation as well, namely for the
   assumption that in the stormy atmosphere of radical social changes some
   deep cultural and socio-psychological specificities of the nations
   concerned emerge, which are responsible for the different reactions to
   relatively equal situations. Neither these phenomena and mechanisms,
   taken alone, can explain the abruptness and intensity of the change in
   attitudes in the Czech lands and in Slovakia. In addition, the cultural
   and psychological phenomena are in principle very vague and their
   empirical fixation is unusually difficult. One could not notice that
   therefore this kind of argumentation has been recently many times abused
   by nationalist politicians both in Slovakia and in the Czech lands on
   the basis of arbitrary assumptions and statements.
   That is why we offer a third hypothesis, interpreting the stated
   discrepancy from the angle of the specificities of social and historical
   dynamics. It tries to explain the differences in attitudes as rationally
   arguable reactions of two neighbouring nations to historically different
   combinations of long-term and short-term dynamics.
   It is undisputable, that from the fall of the 1930s, Slovakia, a former
   agrarian and economically underdeveloped region, moved - with short
   breaks only - steadily in the direction to an industrial and relatively
   modern society with growing political authority. Although the Slovaks
   did not like communism (as the results of the elections in 1946 clearly
   showed) and had to be forced to adapt themselves to the state-socialist
   system (as the events in 1947 and 1948 prove), paradoxically the peak of
   the modernization of their society, bringing hitherto the best living
   conditions for the population, has been achieved during the period of
   `'normalization'', i.e. on the top of the development of the
   totalitarian and anti-meritocratic (egalitarian) social system in
   Czechoslovakia. It is quite clear from this that typical ideologies of
   the state socialist era: egalitarianism, state paternalism and
   authoritarianism have far deeper roots in Slovakia than in the Czech
   Republic.
   The social experience of a long-term trajectory of a gradual rise and
   emancipation of the Slovak nation clashed at once after 1989 with a
   contradictory experience of a rapid decline and deteriorization of the
   economic and social conditions, much more intensive than in the Czech
   lands. It is no wonder that the Slovak population reacted to the new
   situation in a greater extent than the Czech with feelings of
   frustration, resignation or even refusal.
   The social experience of the Czech nation since the end of the 1930s has
   been substatially different. In the rude trajectory of development until
   the end of the 1980s, degradation and stagnation of a formerly well
   developed Central European land prevailed in general. A short
   contradictory wave of a renewed progress in the 1960s finished by a
   grave frustration from the defeat of the Prague spring. The Soviet
   occupation meant a real lost of national sovereignty for the Czech
   nation that never accepted it. After the lost of illusions about the
   possibilities of the Soviet `'perestroika'' and after a certain
   deteriorization of the standard of living in the second half of the
   1980s, the Czech nation was mentally prepared for a `'return to
   Europe''. The subsequent decline in the first phase of the
   post-communist transformation was the slightest one among the Central
   and East European countries and the signs of some improvement showed
   very early. It is no wonder, again, that most people are relatively more
   satisfied with the development until now and more optimistic about the
   future than the Slovak population is. It does not mean, of course that
   there does not exist a danger of a later desillusion of a part of
   society and of some rise of feelings of frustration and resignation in
   the future.
   It is easy to see that this kind of interpretation of our data is
   rational and corresponds the historical facts found out or corroborated
   in our surveys. It can explain without distortion of the evident
   historical reality most of the seeming paradoxes of the Czech and Slovak
   reality and mutual relationships. In a way it gives also some keys to
   the explanation of the split of Czechoslovakia and of its unexpected
   abruptness and peaceful forms.},
