Improving Access to Care Through Community Engagement: Zambian Case

Background and context: Zambia has total population of 16,405,229, life expectancy at birth is 53.3% and HIV prevalence rate is 13.3%. Though established in November 1977, the Zambia National Cancer Registry was only enhanced in 2015 leading to the publication of the 2008-2012 report. The overall age-standardized cancer incidence rate for both sexes in 2012 was 136.2 per 100,000 for all cancers, mortality rate was 104.9 per 100,000 71% these being new cancer cases due to patients presenting late with advanced disease. Aim: Increasing awareness and access to cancer care services within the existing health care and community-based systems in addressing the barriers to accessing care. Strategy/Tactics: Designed village-based screening program to provide services to the women in rural and hard to reach areas. Formulate a multisectoral approach engagement of the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs (MOCTA) and Ministry of Local Government and Ministry of Education Formulated a VBS national roadmap based on: National Cancer Register Report (2012) and national geographical mapping of breast and cervical cancer clinics. Program/Policy process: Developed and signed a memorandum of understanding with Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs (MOCTA). Outcomes: Community engagement enabled easy flow of communication to all key stakeholders on the upcoming VBS activities within their area at all levels. Enabled easy acceptance of health education meetings by all key stakeholders to seek leadership buying and support, share VBS objectives and strategic planning of a successful community-based screening program in their area. Community awareness process: training/orientation: community health care workers (CHW) are trained on key messages on breast and cervical cancer and community-based referrals to health centers. Community sensitization: conducted by trained CHW and program staff through: PA announcing, one-to-one and focused group discussions. Developed referral systems: community based: trained community health care workers sensitize clients, clients who accepts to undergo screening are referred to the nearest screening clinic. Clinic based: trained health care workers screen clients those with positive findings are referred. Breast cancer screening: referred to the provincial hospital. Cervical cancer screening: eligible treated. Not eligible referred for further investigation (LEEP/biopsy) to the provincial hospital. What was learned: Engagement of key community stakeholders, multisectoral approach, strategic scale up of breast and cervical cancer services (HR, diagnostic equipment, pathology), standardized referrals systems at all levels (community, district and provincial), strategic continuous health promotion activities and advocacy, implementation of National Cancer Control Strategic Plan, monitoring and evaluation.

Eco-Friendly Education Facilities: The Case of a Public Education Building in South Korea

Since the importance and effects of national energy policies, plans, and roadmaps were presented in South Korea, the role of renewable energy resources has received great attention. Moreover, as there is significant reasoning for reducing and minimizing nuclear and fossil fuel usage in South Korean national energy plans, several academic scholars and implementers have expended significant effort to present the potential and feasibility of renewable energy resources in South Korea. This study contributes to these efforts by presenting potential sustainable configurations of renewable energy production facilities for a public building in South Korea. Based on economic, environmental, and technical information as well as the presented simulation results, it proposes an environmentally friendly renewable energy production facility configuration that consists of photovoltaic arrays, battery units, and a converter. Subsidies for installing and renovating such facilities are also considered. The potential configuration indicates $0.464 as the cost of energy, 100% of which is renewable. Potential limitations and future research areas are suggested based on the results of these simulations.

Measuring the human right to water: An assessment of compliance indicators

According to the United Nations, over a billion people lack access to clean drinking water. As a call to action regarding deficient water availability, the UN has recognized formally the prescriptive norm of a “human right to water” within treaty legislation for over a decade. The right to water requires states to ensure that water is available, accessible, safe, affordable, and acceptable, but little consensus exists regarding the conditions that constitute adequate compliance with this norm. In general, structural, process, and outcome indicators are considered to be the benchmark of right to water compliance, but these terms remain ambiguously defined on the international level, which leaves states without a specific national roadmap for compliance. This analysis attempts to clarify the confusion surrounding right to water indicators by (a) explaining the historical context behind the creation of each distinct type of indicator for water access, (b) reviewing the salient literature on human rights compliance, and (c) reflecting critically on the utility of the existing indicator matrix. Ultimately, the evidence suggests that structural, process, and outcome indicators are necessary, but insufficient on their own to determine whether a state has complied with its human right to water obligations. As an alternative, a move to integrate the existing indicator categories in order to evaluate a state's capacity to provide the human right to water may serve as a more effective tool assessing how able states are to provide a right domestically to which they may have agreed internationally.This article is categorized under: Human Water > Rights to Water Human Water > Methods Engineering Water > Planning Water

신기후체제 대응을 위한 기후기금 조성의 법⋅정책적 과제

On December 12, 2015, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement, in which several developed and developing countries all committed to participating in the reduction of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. South Korea has submitted an intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) proposal with a target to cut down 37% greenhouse gas business as usual (BAU) until 2030 in preparation for the 2030 GHG BAU. Under the post-2020 regime, which will be launched from 2021 as the agreement entered into force early, it is expected that efforts to support GHG reduction and adaptation to climate change in developing countries will be accelerated with the utilization of technologies and financial resources of developed countries. South Korea has established the Basic Plan for Climate Change Response and the Basic National Roadmap for Greenhouse Gas Reductions by 2030 to promote the response to climate change at the government level. The Ministry of Science and ICT, as the National Designated Entity designated by the UNFCCC, has come up with middle and long-term strategies for climate technology cooperation. South‐Korea has an abundance of energy-consuming industries to support its export-oriented industrial structure; it is thus expected that achieving the GHG reduction target will incur a considerable cost. Moreover, in order to meet the reduction target (11.3%) of the intended nationally determined contribution proposed by South Korea, it is necessary for South Korea to actively promote projects that can achieve GHG reduction achievements, and financial resources are needed as leverage to reduce risks that can occur in the early stages of projects and attract private sector investment.BR This paper summarizes the theoretical discussions on climate finance and conducted a comparative analysis on the status of the funds related to climate change response in the UK, Germany, Japan and Denmark. Through this, we proposed the legal and policy tasks that should be carried forward to raise public funds that can be used for creation of new industries related to climate change as well as to reduce GHG emissions in South Korea.BR The Climate Change Countermeasures Act, which has been proposed by the National Assembly of South-Korea, stipulates the establishment of funds but there is no additional funding except for general account. In this regard, it is also possible to take measures such as the introduction of carbon tax or the collection and use of royalties through technology research and development projects for climate change, such as Industrial Technology Innovation Promotion Act. In addition, since funds are used in various fields such as domestic greenhouse gas reduction, technology development, and overseas projects, it is necessary to establish a system in which various ministries cooperate with the operation of the fund.

More Bread on the Table – the Promise and the Potential of Financial Inclusion

The MAP Global Insights series Volume 2 looks at the thinking, strategies and processes that have enabled national delivery in financial inclusion, and attempts to codify the operational approach taken in the 18 ‘MAP countries’, including the 9 where the programme is working with governments to implement the national roadmap on financial inclusion. Key learnings using the country-specific consumer data drive the national implementation approach at country level. In a changing and uncertain global order, financial inclusion – with its close linkage to the real economy – promises to become a means of supporting growth and contributing to poverty eradication. Using detailed consumer data, this paper, More Bread on the Table, demonstrates the potential for financial inclusion to play a stronger role in lessening vulnerability to poverty, keeping up with shifting national demographics, nurturing small business growth and addressing food security challenges, among others.

Humanising Data – the Map Toolbox for Fine-Tuning and Calibrating National Metrics and Optimising Consumer Delivery

The MAP Global Insights series Volume 2 looks at the thinking, strategies and processes that have enabled national delivery in financial inclusion, and attempts to codify the operational approach taken in the 18 ‘MAP countries’, including the 9 where the programme is working with governments to implement the national roadmap on financial inclusion. Key learnings using the country-specific consumer data drive the national implementation approach at country level. Applying the MAP data analysis tools to the extensive consumer data gathered in-country enables accurate understanding of actual consumer behaviour and needs, both country-specific and in terms of patterns identifiable across developing countries. Findings from the use of the MAP tools have challenged a few of the conventional financial inclusion assumptions, in the process contributing to the global pool of financial inclusion metrics. The tools are central to supporting government and stakeholders in evidence-based decision-making towards smart, consumer-focused solutions.

Key learnings using the country-specific consumer data drive the national implementation approach at country level. This concluding note pulls together the power of the consumer data, its role in driving improvement interventions at country level and the importance of the MAP platform in bringing together country governments and stakeholders in evidence-based decision-making. Picking up on the key findings from the consumer data in other notes in the current volume, this note also provides insight into the systematic operational approach of the global MAP programme and reiterates the efficacy of the MAP approach in working with governments to deliver on the SDGs.

Development of a neonatal curriculum for medical students in Zimbabwe \u2013 a cross sectional survey

BackgroundCalls have been made to reassess the curricula of medical schools throughout the world to adopt competence-based programs that address the healthcare needs of society. Zimbabwe is a country characterized by a high neonatal mortality rate of 24 per 1000 live births. The current research sought to determine the content and appropriate teaching strategies needed to guide the development of an undergraduate neonatal curriculum map for medical students at the University of Zimbabwe College of Health Sciences.MethodsWe surveyed faculty (n = 8) and non-faculty pediatricians (n = 5), senior resident medical officers (N = 26) using a self-administered questionnaire, and completed one focus group discussion with midwives (n = 11). We asked respondents their expectations regarding knowledge, psychomotor skills, competencies, and teaching strategies in a basic newborn curriculum for medical students. Relevant policy and curricula documents were reviewed to assess newborn health needs and the current training. A group of faculty educationists (n = 11) collated and finalized the findings from the document review, survey, and focus group using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.ResultsThe document review revealed three key neonatal health objectives according to the current national maternal and neonatal health road map. These objectives are to be met using a four tier approach comprising (i) family planning (ii) focused antenatal care (iii) clean and safe delivery and (iv) basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric & neonatal care. Existing curriculum has 15 newborn topics taught in lecture style during the pediatric rotations, and five newborn care skills to be learned through observation. The existing curriculum is silent on desired competencies. In the current study 19 cognitive areas, 17 psychomotor skills and six competency domains were identified for an ideal neonatal curriculum for undergraduate students. A combination of teaching strategies including classroom, simulation and a clinical rotation were recommended.ConclusionThis study revealed a significant gap between the existing neonatal curriculum and the ideal curriculum as recommended by broad stakeholders in the context of national health care needs. Next steps are to complete the development and implementation of the proposed curriculum map to better align with the ideal state.

Oxidative Phosphorylation Complex Interactions in Intact Mitochondria

Supercomplex formation, between the multisubunit protein complexes responsible for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (oxphos), is a concept first described in 1955, with important potential implications for energy and redox regulation, and a high rate of debate in current literature. However, empirical evidence to test this theory remains limited. We used recently-established crosslinking mass spectrometry methods to examine intact mitochondria from mouse heart, and discovered a highly interactive network between all pairs of oxphos complexes: we identified 206 unique intercomplex crosslinked lysine sites. Our data suggest that all five oxphos complexes coexist in close spatial proximity in intact mitochondria. The specificity of the crosslinks is demonstrated by a perturbation: 80% of the sites were sensitive to electrostatic disruption conditions, which we show to eliminate the supercomplexes as measured by conventional gel methods. 22 of our sites (7 of which were disruption-sensitive) were between the three complexes (I, III, and IV) that comprise the recent high resolution cryoEM structure and may be useful for refining models of this supercomplex, including evidence for alternate positions of complex IV and alternate interfaces between complexes I–III. In addition to intercomplex crosslinks, oxphos complexes were also interconnected with cytochrome c and shared chaperones/assembly factors. This result is part of a database of 3,322 unique crosslinks, covering 47% of the preparation's proteome; the most comprehensive visualization of the mitochondrial “interactome” to date. Our crosslinks have 98% agreement with consensus crystal structures, provide accurate sub-mitochondrial resolution, and suggest the mitochondrial localization of several novel proteins. All materials and methods are publicly available, using less than a milligram of protein input material, allowing researchers to map the mitochondrial interactome in health and disease with unprecedented depth.

‘Begin at the Beginning’ – Giving Development Initiatives Political Teeth and Boosting Government Capacity to Deliver on the SDGs

The MAP Global Insights series Volume 2 looks at the thinking, strategies and processes that have enabled national delivery in financial inclusion, and attempts to codify the operational approach taken in the 18 ‘MAP countries’, including the 9 where the programme is working with governments to implement the national roadmap on financial inclusion. Key learnings using the country-specific consumer data drive the national implementation approach at country level. The single greatest challenge facing development is turning research and strategies into implementable solutions: improvement initiatives that deliver a positive impact. This note unpacks how the MAP programme is working with governments and development partners to boost countries’ capacity for self-determination and delivery on the national financial inclusion roadmap vision and promises, in the process accelerating inclusive growth and making progress towards the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

An Introduction to a Novel and Rapid nZEB Skill-Mapping and Qualification Framework Methodology

Successful design and construction processes aiming towards nearly zero energy building (nZEB) standards are a challenge for the whole construction industry in Europe. Realizing nZEB buildings requires innovative design processes, and technologies based on an integrated design approach facilitated by multidisciplinary work teams. The collaboration between architects, engineers, technical experts and building managers, is essential. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the specific involvement of each profession in order to develop mutual understanding of each others’ disciplines. Additionally, it is vital to provide professionals with the skills needed to achieve optimal nZEB construction and retrofitting in terms of quality, energy efficiency and cost effectiveness. However, this approach is not yet common, as the building sector is still very fragmented. The EU-funded H2020 project PROF/TRAC aims to tackle this issue by developing an Open Training Platform and a methodology for fast and valid co-creation of interdisciplinary qualification schemes for task-based Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for all professions involved. A common methodology for the mapping of skills and qualifications in the form of an Excel tool was developed as a basis, together with a guidance document. This paper presents the skill-mapping methodology, the use of its results to develop national roadmaps, and the BUILD UP Skills advisor app.

China’s strategy for the development of renewable energies

ABSTRACTBecoming a net importer of crude oil has encouraged China to develop new energy systems for heat and power generation. Increasing crude oil prices have increased the potential wide influence on China’s economic growth. This article explores the influence of domestic renewable energy policy regarding the China Energy Outlook for the years 2015–2035. Applying the national roadmap of renewable energy, three scenarios are constructed: wind energy, biomass energy, and solar energy. The advantages and disadvantages of these scenarios are studied and some suggestions are proposed to improve the economic aspects of renewable energy development.

Also, in Korea, the frequencies of 2,670 MHz bandwidth has been also supplied newly or additionaly in 2016 for Drones in order to activate promising a new UAS industry based on wireless communication, which has great potential for future industrial growth. Therefore, in this paper, some solutions to promote UAS industry has been proposed by analyzing the domestic trends, the major technologies, the frequency issues, and the law framework for UAS.

Impact analysis of natural gas policy in Indonesia

ABSTRACTBecoming a net importer of fuel oil has encouraged the Government of Indonesia optimizing the utilization of natural gas energy production. Increasing natural gas domestic usage has raised the potential wide impact on the economy. This paper investigates the impact of natural gas policy regarding the energy balance and national road map of natural gas infrastructure for the year 2014–2030. Applying the dynamic computable general equilibrium model, four scenarios are constructed—business as usual, declining existing supply, increasing potential supply, and energy substitution into four alternative sectors. The economic cost of relying on existing exploration causes natural gas imports to increase and the economy to slow down. Developing natural gas explorations is therefore required. The energy substitution in the electricity sector shows significant results based on both economic and environment indicators. The impacts however are varied depending on the type of energy, the magnitude, and the sector that is intervened.

Achieving Equity in Physical Activity Participation: ACSM Experience and Next Steps.

There is clear and consistent evidence that regular physical activity is an important component of healthy lifestyles and fundamental to promoting health and preventing disease. Despite the known benefits of physical activity participation, many people in the United States remain inactive. More specifically, physical activity behavior is socially patterned with lower participation rates among women; racial/ethnic minorities; sexual minority youth; individuals with less education; persons with physical, mental, and cognitive disabilities; individuals >65 yr of age; and those living in the southeast region of the United States. Many health-related outcomes follow a pattern that is similar to physical activity participation. In response to the problem of inequities in physical activity and overall health in the United States, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has developed a national roadmap that supports achieving health equity through a physically active lifestyle. The actionable, integrated pathways that provide the foundation of ACSM's roadmap include the following: 1) communication-raising awareness of the issue and magnitude of health inequities and conveying the power of physical activity in promoting health equity; 2) education-developing educational resources to improve cultural competency for health care providers and fitness professionals as well as developing new community-based programs for lay health workers; 3) collaboration-building partnerships and programs that integrate existing infrastructures and leverage institutional knowledge, reach, and voices of public, private, and community organizations; and 4) evaluation-ensuring that ACSM attains measurable progress in reducing physical activity disparities to promote health equity. This article provides a conceptual overview of these four pathways of ACSM's roadmap, an understanding of the challenges and advantages of implementing these components, and the organizational and economic benefits of achieving health equity.

Benchmarking Framework to Encourage Energy Efficiency Investments in South Europe. The Trust EPC South Approach

The Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) market is still embryonic in South Europe since there are still many barriers: difficult access to financing, limited investors’ confidence in EPC models, scarcity of flagship projects, lack of certification schemes and financing mechanisms, especially for the tertiary sector (hospitality, tourism, healthcare), which presents a huge potential for Energy Efficiency (EE). The Trust EPC South project, funded by Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, aims to scale up investments in EE solutions in the private tertiary sector in South Europe, by delivering a robust investment standardization and benchmarking framework and a pipeline of bankable EPC projects in 6 countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Greece); its results will eventually be extended to the Balkan. Tailored capacity building activities will allow an easier access to third-party financing, thus unlocking the large tertiary sector EE and Renewable Energy market potential.Initially, national market analyses took place (EPC providers, beneficiaries-clients, and financial institutions) to identify the market potential. National Discussion Platforms were set up to develop the national roadmaps addressing mechanisms for mitigation of policy, legal, and especially financial barriers. An investment standardization and benchmarking framework, built upon an established real estate assessment tool (Green Rating™), is actually setting up in order to build trust amongst all parts of the EPC value chain. The methodology will be upgraded including a financial assessment model.

Abstract 3632: Adaptive operations and technology platform for nation-scale precision oncology

Abstract Precision oncology requires predictive models for therapy selection using variety of biomarkers and clinical features as input. Building and validating these models requires analysis of large numbers of diverse cases in order to relate markers and treatments to positive outcomes. The -omics technologies provide a rich source of genetic and epigenetic markers but demand large compute and storage systems to process the data. Thus, there is an urgent need for scalable and reliable information systems to support nation-scale research and delivery of precision oncology. At Lockheed Martin, we deliver operational solutions to complex problems. Here, we present our vision for a precision oncology platform. This solution integrates best-in-class capabilities from multiple sources/vendors to support innovation, research and clinical care for a whole nation. We not only thought about the basic -omics based data collection, but also an infrastructure to collect and store data within a compliant privacy and security framework that also facilitates collaborative analytics and data sharing for deeper insight. Taking a systems engineering approach, we have examined some of the challenges to implement such a platform. For instance, running the basic genomic data processing pipelines to yield variant calls, which in turn will feed the variant store, should be a single scalable workflow. Accounting for multiple data sources, various use cases and selections of tools are at the core of an adaptable workflow. A variant store design that can scale and support a national cohort with an overlaying cohort selection tool are all part of this intricate design. It is our vision that a systems engineering and integration approach can deliver a unified solution for the national precision oncology roadmap. It is paramount that all the individual pieces should be well tuned to deliver scalability and reliability and simultaneously work in complete harmony. Only then we can process data at-scale needed for finding actionable mutations, designing effective treatments and implementing prevention strategies, affordably and reliably.

Government Roadmap for IPv4 to IPv6 Network Migration: A Case of Nepal

The recent breakthrough in Information and Communication Technologies(ICT) make the internet and e-mail as a basic service for the people of every country. The rapid growth in internet users and ICT market by the development of smart devices increase the challenges in hardware and networking management as well as effciency on software and services. Hence migration to new and latest technologies like software defned networking, cloud computing and IPv6 addressing become inevitable for the service providers throughout the world. Asia is the frst continent where shortage of IPv4 was faced. APNIC announced the depletion of IPv4 address on April 2011 [1]. Similarly the IPv4 pool on other Regional Internet Registries have already fnished except AFRINIC. With the shortage of address, Asian countries like Japan, China, India, Malaysia etc... have developed the government policies and national roadmap. They are under monitoring and evaluation of the private and public networks. European union and the American government put forward the priority on IPv6 network migration. In this paper a migration roadmap for Nepal is being proposed after reviewing the world’s IPv6 migration status, other countries policy and roadmap for migration planning as well as survey carried out with Nepalese telecom, internet market and government agencies .

Deleting the 'neglect' from two neglected tropical diseases in India

국가 차원의 연구데이터 관리체계 구축을 위한 로드맵 제안 - 영국 사례 분석을 중심으로 -

최근 미국, 영국, 호주 등의 국가에서는 국가 연구비 지원사업을 통해 수행된 연구에서 생산되는 연구데이터의 체계적인 관리와 공유를 시행하기 위한 다양한 정책이 실시되고 있다. 하지만 우리나라에서는 아직 구체적인 관련 정책이 부재하다. 또한 연구데이터의 공유 및 보존을 지원하는 관련 인프라가 구축되지 않아 막대한 국가 R&D 예산이 투입되어 생산된 연구데이터가 관리되지 않고 유실되고 있는 상황이다. 연구데이터의 수집, 관리 및 공유는 전통적인 성과관리상의 필요를 넘어 연구성과의 확산 및 경제발전의 견인 요인으로 작용한다. 또한 데이터의 공개는 연구수행에 있어서 연구윤리가 당연히 지켜져야 하는 것과 같으며 데이터 공개를 통해 보다 윤리적이고 효과적인 연구 환경을 만들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 그 동안 개별 정책 차원에서 연구데이터의 공유 현황이 조사되었던 것에 반해 국가적인 차원에서 어떤 정책이나 도구를 통해 연구데이터가 수집되고 공유되고 있는지를 사례조사의 방법을 통해 연구하였다. 영국의 경우 연구데이터의 공유에 대한 국가적인 차원의 공통 원칙과 더불어 학문분야별로 다양한 정책 및 시행 방법을 운영하고 있다는 점에서 비교적 넓은 폭의 정책수단에 대한 장단점 분석이 가능하다. 구체적으로 영국의 연구데이터 공개와 관련된 법률적 기반을 살펴보고 국가연구비 지원기관인 RCUK(Research Councils UK) 산하 7개 연구비 지원기관과 산하 데이터센터, 그리고 관련 지원 기관의 기능을 중심으로 정책과 현황을 조사하였다. 조사 결과를 바탕으로 향후 우리나라의 국가 차원에서의 연구데이터 관리 및 공유체계 구축을 위한 로드맵을 제시하였다.
