6.E. Practice session: Using European environmental data in public health: datasets and applications

Abstract The European Environment Agency collects, quality-assures and quality-checks data on environment, climate and sustainability. It does so through its network and other institutional partners across 38 European countries. Most of these validated environmental data are publicly available and many can be used by practitioners to assess environmental risks to the health of their communities, as well as for designing and evaluating policies’ effectiveness. The objective of this workshop is to provide public health practitioners and scientists with an overview of the EEA data streams of public health relevance, including on air pollution, noise, water pollution, industrial emissions and climate impacts, among others. It will also highlight existing examples of local and national assessments and communication products based on these data, as well as demonstrating how specifically data on air pollution can be used for a quick health impact evaluation. The format of the workshop will be a practice session of 60 minutes with four presentations, the last being a live example demonstration, and an ample session of questions and answers. Key messages • The EEA collects and publishes large, validated datasets of public health from across 38 member countries, including on air and water pollution, industrial emissions, noise and climate change. • These data can be directly used by practitioners to assess environmental risks to the health of their communities, and to design and evaluate policies, with publicly available models and tools.

The Business Model Canvas Analysis for Honey Business Development at Situak Ni Loba Siarsikarsik Social Forestry Business Group, Lumban Julu District, Toba Regency

Honey has numerous benefits and considerable potential for development within the Social Forestry Business Group (KUPS). In 2020, honey consumption in Indonesia increased to 60 grams per capita per year, leading to growth in the honey bee business. However, more research is needed to be done on developing business strategies for KUPS in North Sumatra Province. Therefore, this research aimed to formulate development strategies for the honey bee business in Situak Ni Loba Siarsikarsik KUPS, Toba Regency, using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) method. This descriptive qualitative research collected data through direct observation, interviews, discussions, and literature research to map the business model through the nine main elements of BMC, namely customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue flows, main resources, activities, partnerships, and cost structure. The best strategy identified was to increase the value proposition, expand the strategic partner network, and improve market access. The findings highlighted the need to determine the specialty of the honey produced by the KUPS compared to other products, find cooperation partners for investment, and utilize technology and marketplaces to expand market share.

A Guideline for Local Elderly Policy Development in Thailand

In previous local elder policy research, most studies were fragmented with only some subjects or some steps in the policy process and attention to the local policy process not included explicitly. This article aims to analyze Thai local elderly policy formulation, implementation and evaluation and to propose guidelines for Thai local elderly policy development. This was a qualitative study. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with 40 key informants from 5 local case studies and 8 national organizations, as well as observations and documentary studies. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and analytic induction. For the policy content dimensions, the guidelines of policy content development of the case studies aim to make senior citizens happy, self-sufficient, and physically and mentally healthy. The means to achieve this are comprised of the following:1) an economic, career, and income stability dimension; 2) a health dimension; and 3) a social dimension. For the policy process dimensions, the guideline of policy formulation comprises of the following: the related national policy dimension, including developing the mindset of policy actors, developing the content of policies with clarity that is up-to-date and congruent with key agreements or related principles, and developing a participation process and communication of the policy. The local policy dimension is locally aged society strategic planning based on strategic management and objectives and key results (OKRs) derived from the results of data analysis, integration of public policy theory, resource-based view in strategic management theory, and objective and key results to reduce the limitations of the public policy theory and model. This comprises developing policy actors’ mindsets, competencies, and motivations, collecting information, creating participation for analyzing and formulating direction, and making local elderly society strategic plans. The guidelines of policy implementation comprise the following: creating knowledge and understanding, organizing a central organization, implementing a strategic plan, formulating strategies for implementing and integrating amicable coordination of networks, seeking and allocating tangible and intangible resources, developing competencies of local government personnel, network partners, and target groups, creating and developing a culture supporting the aged society, and creating internal and external motivation. The guidelines of policy evaluation comprise the following: the development of the evaluation competency, the growth and ethical mindset, and the development of a participatory local policy evaluation system. Based on the results of this study, the guidelines focus on the intangible resources, the internal motivation, the mindset of policy actors, the coordination and strength of networks, and the upper-level policy factors.

Effective anti-tumor immune responses are orchestrated by immune cell partnership network that functions through tissue homeostatic pathways, not direct cytotoxicity.

The liver hosts a diverse array of immune cells that play pivotal roles in both maintaining tissue homeostasis and responding to disease. However, the precise contributions of these immune cells in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Utilizing a systems immunology approach, we reveal that liver immune responses are governed by a dominant-subdominant hierarchy of ligand-receptor-mediated homeostatic pathways. In healthy individuals, inflammatory immune responses operate within these pathways, challenging the notion of the liver as a purely tolerogenic organ. Chronic consumption of a Western diet (WD) disrupts hepatocyte function and reconfigures immune interactions, resulting in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), cancer cells, and NKT cells driving 80% of the immune activity during NAFLD. In HCC, 80% of immune response involves NKT cells and monocytes collaborating with hepatocytes and myofibroblasts to restore disrupted homeostasis. Interestingly, dietary correction during NAFLD yields nonlinear outcomes: tumor progression coincides with the failure of mounting homeostatic immune responses, whereas tumor prevention is associated with sustained immune responses, predominantly orchestrated by monocytes. These monocytes actively target fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, creating a tumor-suppressive microenvironment. Notably, only 5% of T cells displayed apoptosis-inducing activity, selectively contributing to the turnover of hepatic stromal cells, particularly myofibroblasts and fibroblasts. Our findings suggest that effective anti-tumor immune responses in the liver are primarily mediated by immune cells sustaining tissue homeostasis, rather than relying on direct cytotoxic mechanisms.

Twinning Partnership Network: A Learning and Experience-Sharing Network Among Health Professionals in Rwanda to Improve Health Services.

We describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a novel twinning approach: the Twinning Partnership Network (TPN). Twinning is a well-known approach to peer learning that has been used in a variety of settings to build organizational capacity. Although twinning takes many forms, the heart of the approach is that institutions with shared characteristics collaborate via sharing information and experiences to achieve a specific goal. We adapted a twinning partnership strategy developed by the World Health Organization to create a network of like-minded health institutions. The key innovation of the TPN is the network, which ensures that an institution always has a high-performing peer with whom to partner on a specific topic area of interest. We identified 10 hospitals and 30 districts in Rwanda to participate in the TPN. These districts and hospitals participated in a kickoff workshop in which they identified capacity gaps, clarified goals, and selected twinning partners. After the workshop, districts and hospitals participated in exchange visits, coaching visits, and virtual and in-person learning events. We found that districts and hospitals that selected specific areas and worked on them throughout the duration of the TPN with their peers improved their performance significantly when compared with those that selected and worked on other areas. Accreditation scores improved by 5.6% more in hospitals selecting accreditation than those that did not. Districts that selected improving community-based health insurance coverage improved by 4.8% more than districts that did not select this topic area. We hypothesize that these results are due to senior management's interest and motivation to improve in these specific areas, the motivation gained by learning from high-performing peers with similar resources, and context-specific knowledge sharing from peer hospitals and districts.

Alternative Pharmaceutical Innovation Models in Competitive Markets: A Collaborative Approach to Develop a Novel Drug for Hepatitis C.

Alternative innovation models have emerged to address failures of the traditional pharmaceutical system, particularly for diseases where market incentives do not attract sufficient research and development efforts. However, the feasibility of such models for diseases with significant markets is not well-established. This article analyses the development of a novel drug (ravidasvir) for the treatment of hepatitis C, a highly profitable market. Data from qualitative research methods, including literature reviews and semi-structured interviews, was analyzed using a novel conceptual framework focusing on actors, resources, organizational practices, and outcomes. Dissimilar to other projects, ravidasvir did not involve any major pharmaceutical companies. Rather, it leveraged the capacities of actors less traditionally involved in the development of novel medicines by constructing a collaborative network of private and public partners from low- and middle-income countries with a shared goal. The collaboration was successful in developing a highly effective, easy-to-use, and affordable medicine and contributed significantly to capacity-strengthening. However, the case also highlighted that strategic behavior by competing for-profit firms could pose significant challenges and that changing external conditions reduced the potential public health impact of the drug. Lessons from ravidasvir can inform future efforts to develop alternative innovation models for therapeutic areas with significant commercial interest.

An MBA capstone that's out of this world: Commercializing NASA patents

AbstractCapstone classes can help MBA programs achieve student learning goals and meet accreditation standards. However, such programs often fail to build the skills they are intended to develop. Technology transfer projects can be an effective way to build these skills while creating a positive economic impact. This article describes Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College's MBA program's integrative capstone experience that partners with NASA to allow student teams to commercialize unused or underutilized NASA patents to develop new products and create business startups using a 4Ps model. First, students examine Patents for intellectual property that could be transferred to new applications with commercial potential. Next, they develop a knowledge network of Partners who could assist them to commercialize the technology. Then, students identify Prospects for the proposed commercial use of the technology. Finally, they Package a newly developed, market‐ready product with strategy, financial, sales and marketing plans, and pitch these to angel investors who might fund the startup and assist them in starting the business. This article details the 20 steps in the 4Ps model and discusses student outcomes, as well as the business focus of the 29 teams that have completed the course since 2012. Benefits, challenges, and advice for delivering the 4Ps model are discussed.

Age Differences in Consulting Others During Decision Making.

Many choices are made in the context of one's social network, but age differences in consulting others during decision-making remain underexplored. This pre-registered study examined age differences in the composition of decision-related social networks and associated social preferences and motivations. Based on prior findings regarding age differences in information-seeking and socioemotional preferences, we predicted that with advanced age people would consult fewer and more emotionally close social partners, consult them less frequently, rate consultations as more helpful, and prioritize social goals during decision-making. An adult lifespan sample (N = 485; Mage = 51.08; SDage = 19.63, rangeage = 18-96 years) considered hypothetical choices and reported how many and what types of people they would consult and how often they would consult them. They also identified their most important decision consultants and evaluated interactions with those individuals. As predicted, age was associated with consulting fewer people less frequently and this was not explained by having a smaller range of potential consultants in one's network. Contrary to predictions, the proportion of close social partners in decision networks and the perceived helpfulness of consultants did not vary significantly by age. Moreover, older adults were less likely than younger adults to prioritize relationship quality over decision quality. Controlling for potential covariates did not diminish the observed age effects. These findings align with the prior literature on age-related decrements in pre-decisional information seeking but suggest that age-related preferences for close social partners and socioemotional goals do not extend to decision-related consultations.

Colorectal Cancer Alliance: Promoting prevention and early detection with screening navigation and a personalized recommendation via a digital screening quiz tool for colorectal cancer.

38 Background: Evaluating the effectiveness of a Colorectal Cancer screening navigation model delivered in a digital platform offered by a patient advocacy organization. Designed as a digital screening quiz tool and live navigation to promote CRC screening, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance’s Screening Quiz is a risk stratification tool that connects respondents to live certified cancer care navigators delivering evidence-based interventions to increase CRC screening, education and patient and family support. The framework utilizes small and mass media, one-on-one education and patient navigation services to help address and reduce barriers to care. Critical interventions which research shows that on-time screening for CRC leads to better outcomes. Methods: The Screening Quiz has been promoted through social sharing, community outreach, media, including influencer campaigns to increase outreach to at-risk communities. Questions assess personal and family history, hereditary syndromes, and demographics to provide a CRC screening recommendation based on current USPSTF guidelines. Respondents overdue for screening are triaged to the Alliance’s patient navigation team. This interaction includes phone calls and emails for symptomatic individuals/ high risk for CRC, telephonic and email for average-risk uninsured, and emails for average-risk insured. At-risk individuals are connected to resources, such as financial assistance, free at-home screening tests, and colonoscopy scheduling services. Results: July 2022 to March 2024, the Screening Quiz provided over 45,000 screening recommendations. The median age of respondents was 47; 32% of respondents were between the ages of 45 to 64. Of the respondents, 29% were male and 71% were female. Most were White (75.6%), nearly half of those who opted into navigation identified as BIPOC, including 14.7% Black/AA, 17.8% Hispanic or Latino, 6.1% Asian, and 2.0% AI/AN. Additionally, 9.7% of respondents identified as ethnically Hispanic/Latino with another race. Most respondents were symptomatic (67.4%) but 6.4% were asymptomatic high-risk. These two groups represented 89% of 1,599 respondents triaged to patient navigation. Conclusions: This digital screening tool and live navigation framework may serve as a key solution in driving CRC screening compared to other interventions. Providing access to live navigation, educational resources, and support services for CRC screening and diagnosis. The Alliance is uniquely positioned with its national network of volunteers, partners, and community presence to effectively reach at-risk communities. Aligning with the science of evidence-based interventions, the Alliance will continue to leverage the Screening Quiz in partnership with healthcare and community stakeholders to close Colorectal Cancer screening gaps.

Financing a Revolution: The Impact of Bolívar's British Networks in the Independence of Colombia

Abstract This article explores the financial and geopolitical networks behind the independence of Gran Colombia. It shows that the failure to obtain official British government support for independence was compensated for by the development of a network of private individuals and partnerships that supplied large quantities of arms, equipment and men. A Colombian government document granting ‘Powers’ to London intermediaries was crucial to the construction of this network. We analyse who the key players were and how the network operated. By exploring the decisions and actions of merchants through the lens of risk, trust, credit and networks, we provide a fresh insight into the wider process of independence in Gran Colombia.

Strategic Enhancement and Differential Governance: China’s Partnership Diplomacy in Latin America

This paper studies China’s partnership diplomacy and its practice in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). China has constructed an all-round, multi-level, and three-dimensional partnership network in LAC through three stages: strategic exploration, development, and improvement. China has implemented differential governance towards its partners, which enables active shaping and dynamic management of the partnership network. This paper categorizes the 15 partner countries into three types: pivot countries, link countries, and node countries based on their political friendliness with China, geopolitical influence, and potential for economic and trade cooperation. China’s partnerships in LAC are vital support for implementing its diplomatic strategy in the region. However, challenges to this strategy’s development include insufficient mutual support from other diplomatic means, doubts and misinterpretations of the China-Latin America partnership by some Latin American countries, and the political and identity shifts within these countries. To enhance the role of partnerships in maintaining state relations and promoting the implementation of diplomatic strategies, China has introduced new content to its partnership diplomacy in LAC.

The Odyssey of HOMER: Comparative Effectiveness Research on Medication for Opioid Use Disorder During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The usual challenges of conducting primary care research, including randomized trials, have been exacerbated, and new ones identified, during the COVID-19 pandemic. HOMER (Home versus Office for Medication Enhanced Recovery; subsequently, Comparing Home, Office, and Telehealth Induction for Medication Enhanced Recovery) is a pragmatic, comparative-effectiveness research trial that aims to answer a key question from patients and clinicians: What is the best setting in which to start treatment with buprenorphine for opioid use disorder for this patient at this time? In this article, we describe the difficult journey to find the answer. The HOMER study began as a randomized trial comparing treatment outcomes in patients starting treatment with buprenorphine via induction at home (unobserved) vs in the office (observed, synchronous). The study aimed to enroll 1,000 participants from 100 diverse primary care practices associated with the State Networks of Colorado Ambulatory Practices and Partners and the American Academy of Family Physicians National Research Network. The research team faced unexpected challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and dramatic changes in the opioid epidemic. These challenges required changes to the study design, protocol, recruitment intensity, and funding conversations, as well as patience. As this is a participatory research study, we sought, documented, and responded to practice and patient requests for adaptations. Changes included adding a third study arm using telehealth induction (observed via telephone or video, synchronous) and switching to a comprehensive cohort design to answer meaningful patient-centered research questions. Using a narrative approach based on the Greek myth of Homer, we describe here the challenges and adaptations that have provided the opportunity for HOMER to thrive and find the way home. These clinical trial strategies may apply to other studies faced with similar cultural and extreme circumstances.

Lessons Learned from the Launch and Implementation of the COVID-19 Contact Tracing Program in New York City: a Qualitative Study.

On June 1, 2020, NYC Health + Hospitals, in partnership with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, other city agencies, and a large network of community partners, launched the New York City Test & Trace (T2) COVID-19 response program to identify and isolate cases, reduce transmission through contact tracing, and provide support to residents during isolation or quarantine periods. In this paper, we describe lessons learned with respect to planning and implementation of case notification and contact tracing. Our findings are based on extensive document review and analysis of 74 key informant interviews with T2 leadership and frontline staff, cases, and contacts conducted between January and September 2022. Interviews elicited respondent background, history of program development, program leadership and structure, goals of the program, program evolution, staffing, data systems, elements of community engagement, trust with community, program reach, timeliness, equity, general barriers and challenges, general facilitators and best practices, and recommendations/improvement for the program. Facilitators and barriers revealed in the interviews primarily revolved around hiring and managing staff, data and technology, and quality of interactions with the public. Based on these facilitators and barriers, we identify suggestions to support effective planning and response for future case notification and contact tracing programs, including recommendations for planning during latent periods, case management and data systems, and processes for outreach to cases and contacts.

A blueprint for success? Exploring business models of additive manufacturing ventures

Additive Manufacturing (AM) was expected to be the next great technological revolution, yet the predicted market growth has fallen short by 40%. Using a proprietary, cross-sectional data set of 350 ventures in the AM field founded between 2000 and 2017, this study analyses AM companies from a business model perspective. Specifically, we explore which value delivery and value capture mechanisms are decisive for AM venture success, measured via their operational and ownership state. We reveal that targeting the B2B market and selling via partner networks significantly increases firm survival likelihood. Further, applying a recurring revenue model increases the likelihood of an IPO. Our main contributions are two-fold: first, our research complements the business model literature by evaluating value delivery and capture in the AM entrepreneurial space, revealing that customer segments, sales channels, and revenue models are key to venture success. Second, we provide business model design guidelines to entrepreneurs as well venture capitalists in the AM field.

Quality Control Analysis in Construction Works of 80/100 U-Ditch Channel with 15 Ton Axle Cover (Jl. Manyar Indah)

This research records experiences and findings during the Work Practice Internship (MPK) on the 80/100 U-Ditch channel construction project with 15 Ton Axle Cover on JL. Manyar Indah, Surabaya. This MPK is part of the Bachelor of Building Engineering Education curriculum at Surabaya State University and aims to provide students with insight and practical experience that cannot be obtained in the classroom. This project, which will run from April to June 2024, provides an opportunity for students to understand the difference between academic theory and practice in the field, as well as getting to know construction implementation methods directly. The main focus of this project is quality control in construction, especially in the use of precast methods for drainage channels. Effective quality control is essential to ensure that construction meets established standards, prevent wasted costs, and guarantee the quality of the final result. In this project, quality control is carried out through several methods, including Quality Control (QC) for wiremesh, Fc'30 Ready Mix concrete, and core concrete compressive strength tests (core drill test). Each stage of quality control aims to ensure that materials and construction implementation comply with established specifications. The quality of the wire mesh used is checked through measurements and structural verification to ensure durability and sturdiness. Fc'30 Ready Mix concrete is tested through a slump test and laboratory compression test to ensure its strength. Core drill testing was carried out on the completed U-Ditch structure to evaluate the strength of the installed concrete. The findings from MPK show that strict quality control and the application of precast technology can improve construction efficiency and quality. The practical experience students gain in the field not only enriches their knowledge but also strengthens the technical and professional skills required in the construction industry. In addition, this MPK helps students build relationships with professionals in the industry, expand their network, and prepare them for careers in the building engineering field. It is hoped that this experience can improve students' competence as prospective professionals in the field of building engineering. This research also highlights the importance of collaboration between universities and industry. This collaboration not only provides benefits for students in the form of practical experience but also provides opportunities for universities to strengthen relationships with industry and expand partnership networks. Thus, this MPK not only contributes to improving the quality of building engineering education but also to the development of better construction industry practices. It is hoped that this research can make a positive contribution to the development of the building engineering education curriculum and encourage increased collaboration between universities and the construction industry. Through effective quality control and the use of precast methods, this project can be used as an example in creating efficient and high-quality construction, in line with the needs and expectations of stakeholders.

Towards collaborative care for severe and enduring Anorexia Nervosa – a mixed-method approach

BackgroundSevere and Enduring Eating Disorders (SEED), in particular SEED-Anorexia Nervosa (SE-AN), may represent the most difficult disorder to treat in psychiatry. Furthermore, the lack of empirical research in this patient group, and, consequently the lack of guidelines, call for an urgent increase in research and discussion within this field. Meanwhile experts concur that effective care should be structured in a collaborative manner.ObjectiveTo identify the challenges in providing care to patients with SE-AN in the Dutch healthcare context, and propose a collaborative care treatment model to address these issues.MethodsA pragmatic mixed-method approach was used, structured as follows: (1) Identifying perceived barriers and treatment needs from the viewpoint of both patients and eating disorder healthcare professionals through an evaluation questionnaire; (2) Investigating current treatment practices for SEED/SE-AN via benchmarking; (3) Gaining insight into the optimal structure and content of care by interviewing network partners and experts-by-experience. Based on these findings, and drawing from literature on severe and enduring disorders, a treatment model for SE-AN was proposed and implemented.ResultsThe key challenges identified included a lack of knowledge about eating disorders among network partners, treatment ambivalence among patients and poor collaboration between professionals. The proposed model enhances self-management and collaborative relationships with healthcare providers, offers user-friendly and practical guidance, and aims at stabilization, reducing relapses, deterioration, and readmissions, thereby being cost-effective. Importantly, the model operates across levels of care (primary, secondary, tertiary).ConclusionThis study, describing a collaborative care program for SE-AN, developed and implemented in a highly specialized treatment center for eating disorders, sets the stage for further explanatory/efficacy research to build on the findings in this study, with the following aims: addressing the critical gap in care for SEED/SE-AN, improving better healthcare organization, reducing relapse rates, and lowering costs for this often overlooked patient group.

PENDAMPINGAN PENGUATAN LITERASI NUMERASI SISWA MELALUI TAMAN TAMPUK MANGGIS SEBAGAI UPAYA OPTIMALISASI DESA CERDAS DI SDN 054 KOTA JAMBI

Olak Kemang is a sub-district in Danau Teluk District, Jambi City, Jambi Province located in the Seberang area which is known for its religious and cultural values, has a population of 4,649 people spread across 13 neighborhood units. Olak Kemang Sub-district still needs assistance. The purpose of this assistance activity is to strengthen the numeracy literacy of students in Olak Kemang Sub-district, especially SDN 054 Jambi City. In implementing the strengthening of literacy numeracy, a literacy numeracy corner was established in the Taman Tampuk Manggis Program initiated by the PPK ORMAWA IMATIKA Team. The method of implementing assistance begins with identifying problems, interviews, distributing questionnaires, program socialization, purchasing tools and materials, establishing the program and implementing Taman Tampuk Manggis, forming management and partner networks, monitoring and evaluation, and compiling final reports. This assistance is one of the movements to strengthen numeracy literacy through lower-middle class communities. The results of the mentoring showed an increase in the results of the students' numeracy literacy test during the pretest and post-test. During the pretest, out of 20 students, only 20% (4 students) had numeracy literacy skills in the sufficient category, while 80% (16 students) were in the low category. During the posttest, out of 20 students, 30% (6 students) had numeracy literacy skills in the high category and 70% (14 students) were in the sufficient category. This shows that after mentoring, students' numeracy literacy skills have increased.
