Analysis of Immunization Services During The Covid-19 Pandemic

The immunization program launched by the Ministry of Health is one of the preventive measures to avoid contracting certain diseases, namely preventable diseases by immunization including tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, polio and measles. The Covid-19 pandemic threatens to have an impact on health progress and in particular on child development due to the delay in immunization services as a national program. The purpose of this Systematic Review is to analyze the effect of immunization services during the Covid-19 pandemic. Database search includes Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Pubmed with keywords The keywords used are complete basic immunization, covid-19 period, impact of COVID-19 immunization. The next stage is to select articles according to the criteria, which are published in 2017-2022 with the full text of 12 articles that meet the inclusion criteria. Initial literature search found 52 articles (Google Schoolar 42 articles, Science Direct 10 articles, Proquest 5 articles) 40 articles issued were not in sync with the topic of discussion and did not discuss complete basic immunization 12 full text articles met the criteria. Immunization should be prioritized to prevent and protect from preventable diseases by immunization during the Covid-19 pandemic, if the situation allows. Basic immunization services during the Covid-19 pandemic decreased and affected the amount of immunization coverage. Factors that influence this are the main focus of health services on Covid-19 cases, the implementation of lockdown, physical-social distancing, self-isolation and delays in the distribution of vaccine supplies

Stress Level to Dietary Habits among Adolescent in Indonesia during COVID 19 Outbreak: A Nationwide Survey

BACKGROUND: To suppress the COVID-19 transmissions, almost all activities related to physical and social activities between individuals are restricted. Activity restrictions such as lockdowns or physical-social distancing can trigger an elevation in stress. AIM: This study aimed to determine the correlation between stress levels and food habits among adolescents in Indonesia. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted through an online questionnaire involving 5924 adolescents in all regions in Indonesia using the snowball sampling technique. RESULTS: The survey showed that most adolescents experienced high stress (55.6%). During the COVID-19 outbreak, they seemed rarely consumed or had an intake frequency of fewer than 3 times a day on carbohydrates (89.1%), animal protein (87.5%), vegetable protein (88.9%), vegetables (84.8%), fruit (90.6%), and snacks (86.3%). Statistically, their stress level did not significantly correlate to the consumption of those carbohydrates, animal protein, vegetable protein, vegetables, and fruit (p > 0.05), except for snacks (p < 0.002) at α = 0.05. Thus, the high-stress level was 1.267 times more at risk of snacking habit more often (more than 3 times a day) among adolescents in Indonesia during the COVID-19 outbreak. CONCLUSION: Stress level did not significantly correlate to the consumption of those carbohydrates, animal protein, vegetable protein, vegetables, and fruit. However, stress levels did not significantly correlate to snacks consumption.

The Effectiveness of the Learning Process Homeschooling as a School Alternatives in the Time of the Covid-19 Pandemic

This research is motivated by the outbreak of the Corona virus since May 2020 causing fear and anxiety for everyone in various aspects of life, including the world of education, students, parents and teachers are also the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Moreover, the massive spread of this virus has penetrated throughout the country so that it is declared a pandemic condition. One solution that is highly recommended by WHO and supported by health experts and government policies is to maintain physical social distance. These conditions have an impact on the implementation of the program at home only. This requires all activities that were originally carried out outside the home to move into the house. Of course, this adaptation change presents quite a serious polemic, especially in the process of implementing learning, the term school from home (SFH) has become a new order in the world of education. So there are various innovations in the learning process from home, so that children continue to absorb knowledge even though they do not come to school. One of the educational services that serve the implementation of learning from home, especially in conducting guidance is homeschooling. This learning implementation service through homeschooling is an alternative to implementing learning that strongly supports the absorption of knowledge for children who do not have the opportunity to attend formal schools. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method. Ways to obtain data in this study include observation, interviews and documentation. Based on the results of research findings in the field, it can be concluded that the learning process through homeschooling based on learning services from home is considered effective during the Covid-19 pandemic, where parents, teachers can work together in monitoring children while studying from home more effectively on children's development in learning. study from home.

Evaluation of precautionary measures for COVID-19 in a work environment with multi-criteria decision analysis

Abstract Background In December 2019 in China, the COVID-19 pandemic process began. From this milestone, it is clear the relevance of the analysis of control and prevention measures used to combat this disease in a work environment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the main precautionary measures in COVID-19 administrative services, using three techniques of multi-criteria decision making. Methods This study was conducted in four stages. In the first stage, there was the characterization of an administrative services company as an analytical model. In the second stage, some prevention measures were defined as choices and their evaluation criteria. The alternatives were: use of masks; use of gel alcohol; handwashing; hygiene of workstations and bathrooms; use of individual utensils; physical-social distance; and education (training on prevention). The criteria were: reduction of the probability of transmission by contact; practicality of behavioral adaptation; and monthly cost. In the third stage, a decision matrix was constructed relating the selected choices and criteria. In the fourth stage there was the application of the techniques PROMETHEE I, PROMETHEE II and ELECTRE III to prioritize the selected prevention measures. Results After the comparative analysis of the results of the applied techniques, it was possible to strongly advise four of the seven measures chosen: use of masks; use of gel alcohol; physical-social distance and education. Conclusions The methodology used in this study can support decision-making with the selection of more efficient actions in the preservation of the health and work capacity of workers, and in the optimization of corporate financial resources.

Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and its impact on assisted reproductive technologies

Coronavirus diease-2019 (COVID-19), a global pandemic, has imposed a lot of challenges and potential risk to women who are planning a pregnancy and women who are pregnant in the COVID era. After the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19, a global pandemic, pregnancies achieved through medically assisted reproduction/Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) services experienced a major hit as couples became even more anxious to embark on pregnancy, the obvious reasons being the vertical transmission to the fetus, and use of critical health-care support system if required. Although the effects of coronavirus in terms of pregnancies conceived through the above measures are not known, retrospective studies will be needed to assess the outcomes of pregnancies conceived either naturally or any of the above mentioned procedures. As a precautionary measure, many professional societies worldwide recommended a ban on fertility treatments 1 week after WHO declared this as a pandemic. All reproductive medicine societies had published guidelines regarding stopping of infertility services except for poor responders and oocyte/sperm cryopreservation procedures in cancer patients – undergoing chemotherapy/radiation as there could be a reduction in gamete numbers. The possible reasons being to avoid complications of ART, like virus-induced complications of pregnancy and vertical transmission to fetus in severe respiratory distress syndrome COVID-positive mothers. The measures required to be taken are physical social distancing and critical health-care accessibility services. It has caused a major blow with respect to economic and social framework of our societies.

Physical Distance, Ethical Proximity

I develop Levinas’s analysis of “proximity” to explain how successful faceless class dialogues are possible despite physical social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. I first examine features of Levinas’s notion of proximity within his idiosyncratic approach to “ethics.” Second, I turn to Levinas’s examination of intentionality and questioning in relation to the hermeneutic priority of questioning. Third, I detail some successes and failures in attempts to embody Levinasian proximity in online or masked discussions with students. I draw out contrasts between experiences at two different institutions as well as between curricular and extracurricular experiences. I do this to expose my own vulnerability in this essay itself. Given pandemic conditions as well as Levinas’s theory of proximity, I found that many masked or virtual class discussions—but especially extracurricular group discussions, such as a philosophy club and the Black Student Union meetings—maintained a closeness of community despite social distancing.
