Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Nutrition and Nutrition Policy Studies in Asia.

Many studies in Western countries have reported that people with low socioeconomic status (SES) have a greater risk of obesity and non-communicable diseases. However, the relationship between SES and nutrition is considered to differ from country to country among Asian countries. Based on studies since 2010, the nutritional status of populations with low SES can be summarized as follows. In India, undernutrition among children and women has been reported. In China, low energy and nutrient intakes and undernutrition are common among children and the elderly, while both obesity and undernutrition are common in adults. In Japan and Korea, weight faltering in preschool children, low dietary quality among groups from school children to adults, and high obesity among adolescents and adult women have been reported. There are two types of policies aimed at reducing nutrition disparities: approaches for population and those for households with low SES. Nutrition disparities due to SES disparities in Asia need to be monitored. In Asia, studies on nutrition policy have focused on cash subsidies and food assistance for low SES households with the aim of improving undernutrition, but food environment measures for the population as a whole also need to be studied in order to reduce under- and over-nutrition, the double burden of malnutrition.

Penerapan Metode Analitycal Hierarchy Process dalam Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Kelayakan Rumah Tangga Penerima Listrik Gratis

One of the government programs includes free electricity connection assistance for underprivileged households through the Targeted Electricity Subsidy (SLTS) program. In implementing the SLTS program, recipients of free electricity must meet several predetermined criteria to qualify as recipients. Every year there are a lot of registrants for RT candidates who receive free electricity in Gorontalo province, so obtaining information takes a long time because accuracy is required in the selection process to determine the eligibility of RT candidates to receive free electricity. The purpose of the study was to apply the AHP method to the decision support system for the eligibility of households receiving free electricity by calculating the value of the priority results of the sub-criteria and the feasibility value. The calculation process is carried out based on the criteria, the results of the priority sub-criteria are obtained where the applicant with a feasibility value = 1 gets a decent status. On the other hand, applicant 2 with a sub-criteria priority of 0.2983 and applicant 3 with a sub-criteria priority of 0.0847 gets an unfeasible status because the value obtained is < 1. So it can be concluded that the AHP method can be used in a decision support system to assist related parties in determining the eligibility of households receiving free electricity

Offline-Online Submission and Assessment System (OSAS) chatbot as an E-tool on retrieval of learners’ outputs in Earth and Life Science during the Distance Learning

Frequency and gender differences in the use of professional home care in late life. Findings from three German old-age cohorts.

AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of and the gender differences in the use of professional home care in Germany.MethodsWe used harmonized data from three large cohort studies from Germany (“Healthy Aging: Gender-specific trajectories into the latest life”; AgeDifferent.de Platform). Data were available for 5,393 older individuals (75 years and older). Mean age was 80.2 years (SD: 4.1 years), 66.6% were female. Professional homecare outcome variables were use of outpatient nursing care, paid household assistance, and meals on wheels' services. Logistic regression models were used, adjusting for important sociodemographic variables.ResultsAltogether 5.2% of older individuals used outpatient nursing care (6.2% women and 3.2% men; p < 0.001), 24.2% used paid household assistance (26.1% women and 20.5% men; p < 0.001) and 4.4% used meals on wheels' services (4.5% women and 4.0% men; p = 0.49). Regression analysis revealed that women had higher odds of using paid household assistance than men (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: [1.24–1.76]; p < 0.001), whereas they had lower odds of using meals on wheels' services (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: [0.42–0.97]; p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences in using outpatient nursing care between women and men were found (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: [0.87–1.81]; p = 0.225). Further, the use of home care was mainly associated with health-related variables (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease) and walking impairments.ConclusionsOur study showed that gender differences exist in using paid household assistance and in culinary dependency. For example, meals on wheels' services are of great importance (e.g., for individuals living alone or for individuals with low social support). Gender differences were not identified regarding outpatient nursing care. Use of professional home care services may contribute to maintaining autonomy and independence in old age.

A brief genealogy of the Thrifty Food Plan

ABSTRACT The Thrifty Food Plan emerged from the Economy Food Plan in 1975 as a mathematical program that represented a nutritious diet for low-income Americans. Calculated last in 2021 by the US Department of Agriculture’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, the Thrifty Food Plan determines the maximum amount of food assistance for households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Drawing on national archives, interviews, congressional discourse analysis, literature review, and mathematical modeling, this paper traces a genealogy of the Thrifty Food Plan from 1975 to the present along six themes. This genealogy tells a story of changing consumption patterns, dietary standards, and the ways in which the USDA defines food, people, and the basic food needs of the poorest Americans. This paper highlights avenues for further research into the various aspects of the Thrifty Food Plan that can elucidate the historical framing of hunger and poverty in the United States.

Pekerja Rumah Tangga dan Organisasi Masyarakat Sipil: Persoalan Tentang Ruang Kebebasan Sipil di Indonesia

Domestic workers or often known as household assistants or domestic helpers are no stranger to their existence in the lives of Indonesian people, both in rural and urban areas. Domestic worker or abbreviated as PRT is a job where the worker offers services to the employer to do various household chores, such as washing, cooking, cleaning the house, caring for children, and other household chores. The existence of domestic workers as informal workers or domestic workers in the household has not been accompanied by clear and concrete legal rules to recognize and protect domestic workers in their work, so that domestic workers often become subjects that are ignored and underestimated, from a status that is marginal and does not exist, not even rare. Receiving treatment that is detrimental to domestic workers, such as violations of rights, sexual harassment, to torture or violence perpetrated by employers against domestic workers. Against the backdrop of cases of violations of domestic workers' rights, domestic workers have begun to have the courage to strive for their rights to be protected by the state. Efforts to seek decent work for domestic workers have been contained in the Domestic Workers Bill and the existence of ILO Convention No.189. However, until now the Indonesian state government has not ratified the Domestic Workers Bill to become the Domestic Workers Law. Therefore it requires the participation of all elements of the state including the government and civil society. Through Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), it is hoped that they can become a bridge for people's aspirations and voices to push for the ratification of the PPRT Bill. Apart from that, as a democratic country, CSOs are also needed to claim the title of a democratic country for Indonesia so that civic freedoms can be upheld for the sake of achieving people's welfare. Especially for marginalized people like domestic workers.

Thriving-in-Place: Examining the impact of intergenerational living in the Toronto HomeShare Program

Most global cities, like Toronto, have rapidly aging populations who want to remain in homes and communities of their choice. Concurrently, seniors face vulnerabilities associated with low income, ageism, social isolation and loneliness. These vulnerabilities inhibit many seniors’ desires to age-in-place. The Toronto HomeShare Program, an intergenerational homesharing program facilitates aging-in-place by matching seniors with post-secondary students. The program, with an implementation focus and a research study, was developed to address and understand the needs of seniors seeking assistance, light supports and companionship at home, in exchange for reduced-rent housing for students. A mixed methods research design was employed. Seniors and students (n=22) completed a 167 question survey (n=22) and in-depth interviews (n=18). Quantitative data yielded descriptive statistics and qualitative data was subject to thematic content analysis. Participants agreed that homesharing programs could address risk for social isolation (95%), the need to move from their community (96%), and reduce risks of economic and social exclusion for young and old (97%). From the qualitative data, six benefits were apparent for all participants: (1) reduced social isolation and loneliness, (2) increased intergenerational exchange, (3) increase financial security, (4) household assistance, (5) increased general wellbeing; (6) enhanced companionship/safety. In 2020, Toronto HomeShare (now Canada HomeShare) was recognized by the World Health Organization as an age-friendly best practice, and has been scaled nationally in 16 cities. Intergenerational homesharing programs could be a catalyst for policy and cultural reform and to support older adults to not only remain in their communities, but to thrive-in-place.

User experience of point-of-use water treatment for private wells in North Carolina: Implications for outreach and well stewardship

Private well users are potentially exposed to a range of chemical contaminants through their drinking water. Point-of-use (POU) water treatment represents one potential solution to reduce harmful exposures through well water, but well users frequently do not adopt household treatment even if they learn their water is contaminated. This study elucidates the experiences, perceptions, and beliefs of 17 households on private wells in North Carolina that participated in a pilot-scale POU water treatment intervention to better understand the drivers and barriers of POU treatment adoption among well users. The intervention consisted of an under-sink activated carbon block POU filter designed to remove lead and two long-chain perfluoroalkyl acids. Filter effluents and influents were tested monthly for eight months. Questionnaires administered before and after the intervention showed a significant decrease in participants' perceived vulnerability to well water contamination, with 77% feeling vulnerable to poor well water quality before, compared to 23% after the filter was installed. However, the POU filters did not fully eliminate feelings of water insecurity (for example, concerns about exposure to contaminants when bathing remained). Lack of knowledge and skills associated with installing and maintaining POU treatment were important barriers to adoption for some well users. Perceptions of POU treatment were also significantly correlated with the intent to implement other well stewardship behaviors such as well water testing. The results highlight the need for strengthened outreach and support programs that provide technical assistance, education, and financial support for households relying on private wells.

The permissive non-parental childcare and moral intelligence: Indonesian setting

&lt;p class="keywords"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Most parents in Indonesia are unable to provide maximum care for their children while working. Childcare includes fostering moral intelligence, which is carried out by grandmothers, household assistants, and daycare assistants. Furthermore, 178 young children (95 males and 83 females) and 178 caregivers (68 grandmothers, 54 household assistants, and 56 daycare assistants) were involved in the study. Simple regression analysis was used to examine parenthood on moral intelligence, and moderator analysis was used to test permissive non-parental childcare and moral intelligence in early childhood. The results showed that authoritative and permissive parenthood has an effect on moral intelligence and that the effects of permissiveness on moral intelligence are only moderately influenced. Permissive non-parental childcare and moral intelligence apply to the group of grandmothers and household assistants. The research provides a detailed description of the role of predictors on moral intelligence in non-parental care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Single-parenthood and health conditions among children receiving public assistance in Japan: a cohort study

BackgroundChildren’s healthy development is important. While governmental public assistance benefits financially troubled families, it cannot compensate for a lack of social support. Single-parenthood is a health risk factor for children owing to low-income-associated food insecurity and stress. No study has investigated the association between single-parenthood and health status in children from families receiving public assistance. This study aimed to examine the association between single-parent households and children’s health among public assistance recipients in Japan by using linkage data of two municipal public assistance databases and administrative medical assistance data.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study. Public assistance for households below the poverty line ensures income security and medical care. The study population included all children aged 15 or younger availing public assistance in January 2016. We extracted recipients’ sociodemographic factors from January 2016 and identified the incidence of childhood diseases’ diagnosis until December 2016 as the outcome, including 1) acute upper respiratory infections; 2) influenza and pneumonia; 3) injuries, including fractures; 4) intestinal infectious diseases; 5) conjunctivitis; 6) asthma; 7) allergic rhinitis; 8) dermatitis and eczema, including atopic dermatitis; and 9) diseases of the oral cavities, salivary glands, and jaws, such as tooth decay or dental caries.ResultsAmong the 573 children, 383 (66.8%) lived in single-parent households. A multivariable Poisson regression, with a robust standard error estimator, showed that single-parenthood is associated with a higher prevalence of asthma (incidence ratio [IR] = 1.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16–2.26), allergic rhinitis (IR = 1.41; 95% CI, 1.07–1.86), dermatitis and eczema (IR = 1.81; 95% CI, 1.21–2.70), and dental diseases (IR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.33–2.42) compared to non-single parent households, whereas little association was found between single-parenthood and children’s acute health conditions.ConclusionsAmong public assistance recipients, living in single-parent households may be a risk factor for children’s chronic diseases. The Japanese public assistance system should provide additional social care for single-parent households. Further investigations are necessary using more detailed longitudinal data, including environmental factors, the severity of children’s health conditions, contents of medical treatments, and broader socioeconomic factors.
