The role and value of counsellors in the treatment journeys of people with tuberculosis and their families: Qualitative insights from the South Fly District of Papua New Guinea.

Combined education and counselling can contribute to person-centred care for tuberculosis (TB), improving uptake, adherence, and outcomes of treatment for TB disease and TB infection. Though strongly recommended by the World Health Organization for all people diagnosed with TB, education and counselling is not widely implemented in TB programs around the world. In 2016, a pilot TB education and counselling program, delivered by trained professionals and peers, was initiated to support people on TB treatment in the South Fly District of Papua New Guinea. This article reports on select findings from a qualitative study that examined the socio-cultural dimensions of TB, including treatment support such as education and counselling, in the South Fly District. An assessment on data collected during 128 semi-structured in-depth interviews of the role of counsellors on TB treatment journeys revealed strong participant support for the counsellors and the services they delivered, with particular emphasis on the emotional support provided to address fears and concerns related to TB diagnosis and treatment, and to support treatment adherence; valuable attributes of counsellors; their role as intermediaries between patients and health workers; their provision of biomedical knowledge of TB transmission and disease; and their assistance in addressing stigma and discrimination from family and community. Participants also noted how tackling the socio-structural issues that drive TB transmission in people's homes and communities were beyond the remit of counsellors' work. TB education and counselling should be an essential part of all TB services to provide support and encouragement for people to continue treatment to completion.

"My Best Friend's Husband Sees and Knows Everything": A Cross-Contextual and Cross-Country Approach to Understanding Smart Home Privacy

As smart home devices proliferate, protecting the privacy of those who encounter the devices is of the utmost importance both within their own home and in other people's homes. In this study, we conducted a large-scale survey (N=1459) with primary users of and bystanders to smart home devices. While previous work has studied people's privacy experiences and preferences either as smart home primary users or as bystanders, there is a need for a deeper understanding of privacy experiences and preferences in different contexts and across different countries. Instead of classifying people as either primary users or bystanders, we surveyed the same participants across different contexts. We deployed our survey in four countries (Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and in two languages (English and Spanish). We found that participants were generally more concerned about devices in their own homes, but perceived video cameras—especially unknown ones—and usability as more concerning in other people's homes. Compared to male participants, female and non-binary participants had less control over configuration of devices and privacy settings—regardless of whether they were the most frequent user. Comparing countries, participants in Mexico were more likely to be comfortable with devices, but also more likely to take privacy precautions around them. We also make cross-contextual recommendations for device designers and policymakers, such as nudges to facilitate social interactions.

COVID-19 vaccination campaigns in fragile and conflict-affected settings, Somalia.

By 31 December 2021, only 5.5% (861 879/15 670 530) of the Somali population had been fully vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To rapidly increase COVID-19 vaccine coverage in 2022, the health ministry and its partners (World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund) adopted a more responsive strategy. This strategy included careful microplanning, better targeting of populations and providing people-centred vaccination services close to their homes. These services were combined with childhood vaccination and basic health-care provision using the existing polio network and community health workers. Additionally, a digital tool for recording COVID-19 vaccination data and a mobile phone-based electronic registration system were introduced. Somalia, a fragile and conflict-affected state, faced challenges when implementing COVID-19 vaccination, including inexperience in managing mass adult vaccination, inadequate infrastructure and health workforce. Furthermore, insecurity in some areas and severe drought resulted in large-scale displacement of people. The implementation of a more context-specific strategy helped Somalia reach substantially more people with COVID-19 vaccination and 42.1% coverage by 31 December 2022. Additionally, 84 600 zero-dose children received their first childhood vaccine during the integrated campaigns. The increased coverage has led to public health benefits that outweigh the investment in the COVID-19 vaccination campaigns. Successful roll-out of adult vaccination is achievable even in a fragile and conflict-affected setting through implementation of a tailored contextualized approach. Key factors include good microplanning, use of digital tools, better population-targeting, bundling vaccines together and delivering vaccination services close to people's homes.

ANALISIS HUKUM PEMANFAATAN SUMBER DAYA AIR UNTUK KEBUTUHAN RUMAH PENDUDUK DALAM PERSPEKTIF KESEJAHTERAAN

Water is a natural resource that is very important in everyday life. Some of the benefits of water resources in daily life include irrigation in agriculture, electricity generation, and household activities.

Adrien Rist (1841–1923), membre de la Société mdico-psychologique (1881) et fondateur d’une maison de santé privée à Versailles : « La Châtaigneraie » (1889) (Partie II)

A member of artistic, literary and scientific associations including the Société médico-psychologique (1881), A. Rist opened a private psychiatric clinic in Versailles in the years 1890–1891 called: La Châtaigneraie. This establishment will open its doors shortly before those of the old people's home (1892); they will complete the establishment opened in 1858: the civil hospital. In addition to his work as physician director of La Châtaigneraie, he was a medical expert at the court of Versailles. While practicing in Switzerland, he taught forensic medicine at the Law School of Lausanne. For example, A. Rist assessed Marie Christmann, a spiritualist masseuse, known as “the witch of Versailles”, who was denounced for the illegal practice of medicine and the mummified body of a woman was found in her house or Fernand-Théodore Charlatte, known as “the satyr of Saint-Cloud”, who simulated madness. Being an alienist was not without risk. He was threatened with death by an insane Arthur-Désiré Ferger who had twice escaped from the asylum; inspectors were assigned to protect him. A. Rist was a doctor fighting against alcohol abuse; the head office of the Versailles section of the French Anti-Alcohol Union was located at his home 11 rue des Deux Moulins. The National League against Alcoholism has founded “rooms of the soldier” in different cities of France (Cherbourg and Le Havre). A. Rist had one such room located at 29 rue de Béthune (Versailles). Author of “La philosophie naturelle intégrale les rudiments des sciences exacts” (1904), A. Rist shows us his pronounced taste for mathematics which inclined him more towards the physical sciences and their speculative aspect than towards biology, a discipline of observation and experimentation. In this second part, A. Rist appears to be a man of conviction and opinion. He was Dreyfusard and Republican. He was among the signatories of the “Appel à l’Union” (1899) like his friend Gabriel Monod (1844–1912), a member of the Institute. This founding document aimed to calm the political situation in the middle of the Dreyfus affair in order to save the parliamentary republican regime then in place. He does not hesitate to take up the pen to oppose Ferdinand Brunetière (1849–1906); director of the Revue des Deux Mondes, he was an antidreyfusard but not an antisemite. The latter had declared war on the scientific spirit and on Science which was not the point of view of A. Rist. In a national daily newpapers, he expressed his opposition to the reform of secondary education; this was a measure which had been advocated by the Minister of Public Instruction: Léon Bourgeois (1851–1925). At the end of the 19th century, A. Rist made a political commitment having being elected member of the municipal council of Versailles (1896–1900); he joined the Democratic Republican Alliance party (1901). During his career, A. Rist did not communicate or publish very much. In addition to his imposing work on “La philosophie naturelle intégrale”, we find among his works an article on phrenology published in the Dictionnaire de Dechambre, which he considered to be a science lacking a scientific basis; a case of idiopathic anorexia, which he said was a mental illness caused by a direct attack on the nerve center that regulates the need to eat; a case of forensic expertise on an anarchist sentenced to prison because he was not fit for internment. He was also supposed to publish a second volume of his natural philosophy, but it never saw the light of day. He died in November 1923, “La Châtaigneraie” closed its doors.

Manajemen Dakwah Jema’ah Tablig dalam Meningkatkan Kesadaran Beribadah Masyarakat Kecamatan Medan Area

As time progresses, da'wah work continues to be carried out by each group of the Muslim movement which has its own way of carrying out its da'wah. One of them is the Tablighi Jema'ah. To awaken the spiritual spirit in the self and life of every Muslim, the Tablighi Jema'ah has its own management. This research will describe (1) how the management of the Tablighi Jema'ah increases awareness of worship in the Medan Area sub-district community. (2) Tablighi Jema'ah profile. (3) What are the obstacles faced in the da'wah management process by the Tablighi Jema'ah? The method used in this research is a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of interviews (randomly) and observation in the context of searching and extracting information and collecting data. The results of this research show that the Tablighi Jema'ah implements da'wah management in its da'wah process, namely using da'wah management functions (planning, organizing, mobilizing or implementing da'wah and evaluation). The material presented by the Tablighi Jema'ah was related to the mahdah worship and the rewards for good deeds performed. Apart from that, the Tablighi Jema'ah also invites congregational prayers at the mosque and brings the mosque to life. The Tablighi congregation conveys its preaching through studies and coming directly to people's homes. However, there are still several obstacles in the process of da'wah management, such as material readiness when preaching and responses in the community, but this is not a significant problem for them, because through good management all obstacles can be overcome well.

Characteristics of asserting the identity of people with dementia in an old people's home

Dementia poses a specific risk to the expression of identity due to the progressive decline of cognitive abilities and the general negative image of people with dementia. Prejudice and negative beliefs often lead to stigma and discrimination, which can depersonalise people with dementia and make it impossible for them to express their identity. The socially constructed image of people with dementia points to the need to explore the concept of identity of people with dementia. Based on qualitative research conducted in an old people's home and narrative interviews with residents with dementia, we demonstrate the possibilities of asserting the identity of people with dementia in an institutional setting. The paper highlights various factors that have a significant impact on the identity formation of residents with dementia. Among the most highlighted are appearance, physical abilities, social environment, activities, emotions, and religion. Residents with dementia develop different strategies to cope with the changes brought about by dementia and ageing (accepting change, redirecting negative thoughts, and maintaining skills through activities and employment). The paper presents the ability of residents with dementia to maintain or even transform their identity in an institutional setting, which has a strong impact on the expression and assertion of the individual's identity.

Etika Interaksi Sosial dalam Pola Meminta Izin Memasuki Rumah Perspektif Hadis

The moral decline that has occurred in the current era of globalization has caused concern in the community. The absence of etiquette when entering other people's homes, the absence of asking permission to enter the house, the absence of prior notification is often found in this day and age. This is contrary to the teachings of Shari'ah, which principle is that Adab is above knowledge. It is better for someone to be civilized but have little knowledge than someone who has a lot of knowledge but is not civilized. Basically, there cannot be any Shari'a demands unless there must be something bad behind it all that must be abandoned. Islam does not only demand knowledge, but must instill Adab first. Surely this is a problem of the people that must be addressed immediately. The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed description of the Prophet's explanation of what procedures / ethics must be considered in entering someone else's house in order to avoid disputes or protect the disgrace of the homeowner. This research collects data through a qualitative approach in the form of a literature review which includes articles, journals, theses, and books. The result of this research is to provide an understanding and emphasis on the importance of the ethics of asking permission in terms of visiting other people's homes. The conclusion of this study also implies that parents should instill good manners from an early age to children, especially the manners of visiting other people's homes.

Artificial Rainfall Aquifer to Supply Clean Water Requirement During the Dry Season in Selengen Village, North Lombok Regency

Selengen Village is one of the villages in North Lombok Regency that always experiences drought and lack of clean water every year. The problem of clean water availability is caused by limited water sources on the surface. The frequency of rainwater in Selengen Village is very small and with very low intensity. In order to meet the need for clean water, the community has to pay additional costs to buy clean water or wait for a drop from the government. The Selengan Village community has limited information regarding simple methods that can be used to collect clean water sourced from rainwater. The method used to introduce rainwater capture as a source of clean water is to provide direct outreach to the Selengen Village community about rainwater storage in the form of ABSAH (Artificial Aquifer for Rainwater Savings). The ABSAH method can be done individually or in groups. The socialization was carried out at the Panggung Barat Hamlet office involving the community consisting of farmer groups, community leaders, youth organizations and housewives. The result of the socialization regarding the introduction of artificial rainwater aquifers is the high desire of the community to create rainwater storage, either independently/individually or in groups. In the process of making it, the community hopes to get assistance from the implementation team so that the calculation of the storage volume is in accordance with the volume of water used. Apart from that, the community also hopes to be given drawings of storage designs, installations for collecting water from the roofs of houses and designs of distribution networks to people's homes.

Home support for vulnerable older people: from shared decision-making to negotiation: A qualitative pilot study

Shared decision-making allows older people to discuss and change their care with informal caregivers and healthcare professionals. When opinions differ, an older person's decision-making ability can be compromised by many factors. The objective of this qualitative pilot study was to study the dynamics of shared decision-making in home care support for vulnerable older people. Observations were carried out at the older people's homes during appointments with the network's healthcare professionals. Semi structured interviews were then conducted with older people, caregivers and healthcare professionals observed. When opinions differ, negotiation dynamics then develop between older people, caregivers and healthcare professionals. Using a dedicated negotiation framework, we identified four types of negotiation between the stakeholders in home care decision-making, influenced by various articulations of individual, collective and environmental factors.

Primary palliative care in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and thematic synthesis of the evidence for models and outcomes.

Serious health-related suffering is predicted to double in low- and middle-income countries by 2060. Primary care offers the best opportunity to meet Universal Health Coverage in an equitable way. Primary palliative care growth should be evidence-based to ensure provision is feasible, acceptable and culturally congruent. To identify the current evidence related to primary palliative care and to describe how primary palliative is defined in this setting, dominant typologies of care and meaningful outcome measures in LMICs. A systematic review and thematic synthesis was conducted. We described the nature, extent and distribution of published literature on primary palliative care in low- and middle-income countries, use thematic synthesis to characterize typologies of primary palliative care and design a process model for care delivery in low- and middle-income countries. Medline, Psychinfo, Global Health, Embase and CINAHL. Thirty-five publications were included. Nearly half took place in Asia (n = 16, 45.7%). We identified five dominant typologies of primary palliative care, including delivery in primary care clinics by multidisciplinary healthcare teams and palliative care specialists, in people's homes by healthcare professionals and volunteers and in tertiary healthcare facilities by generalists. We designed a process model for how these models operate within larger health systems and identified barriers and facilitators to implementing primary palliative care in this context. Evidence supporting primary palliative care in low- and middle-income countries is limited, and much of the published literature comes from Asia and southern Africa. Health systems in low- and middle-income countries have unique strengths and needs that affect primary palliative care services that should guide how services evolve to meet future need.

PEMODELAN KUALITAS AIR TANAH OLEH AIR LIMBAH DOMESTIK MENGGUNAKAN ARCGIS DI DESA KERTALANGU

<p><em>The community living in Kesiman Kertalangu Village, East Denpasar, Denpasar City, Bali, has a few open shallow wells at home. Well water is used for daily activities such as washing, washing vehicles, and watering plants. The main source of water is groundwater, which is found in rocks below the earth's surface. The availability and movement of groundwater depends on the geological conditions of the area.</em><em> </em><em>Groundwater that is used as a source of community life must meet good water quality, so the purpose of this study was to determine the condition of groundwater during the study. The samples used for groundwater testing were 30 wells spread across this village. The methods used were interviews with the local community, field testing of well water samples (smell and temperature tests), laboratory tests (pH, TSS, TDS, DHL and microbiology) and modeling analysis of all research data results using the ARCGIS application. The research results obtained were field tests such as odor tests and temperature tests that passed the clean water requirements because they met the standards set by the Ministry of Health. laboratory tests such as the TDS, TSS and DHL tests have met the requirements as clean water because the number of solid particles dissolved in water and gas is below the specified limits, and the amount of suspended solids in water is also below the limits. Microbiological test results showed that several points were quite polluted by E.Coli and Total Coliform bacteria caused by the distance between the well points and the septic tank in people's homes.</em></p>

FENOMENA PENGGUNAAN SIMBOL-SIMBOL KEAGAMAAN PENGEMIS JALANAN DI KOTA MEDAN

Beggars are people who beg in public in various ways that beggars do in order to get money and goods that are useful for themselves. Begging is also usually done in crowded places such as houses of worship, red lights, markets, and people's homes. By begging someone obtains material easily and does not require the ability to work. The methodology used in this study uses a qualitative approach such as interviews with eleven beggars in the city of Medan. By processing data such as collecting information and analyzing the findings obtained. The large number of beggars in the city of Medan has a negative impact on society with low human resources, especially for religion which is a symbol of making it easier to carry out begging activities such as using caps, headscarves, koko clothes, and other Islamic clothing. The theoretical approach is carried out using the theory of Symbolic Interactionism which has a placement towards a person's way of solving problems in his life through the process of thinking and placing himself as an object and subject. The existence of cooperation between the community and the government can eliminate the phenomenon of begging which is still widely practiced by beggars, moreover Islam is made a begging religion in public, so that religious symbols may not be used for individual use.
