P-121. Brucellosis outbreak in northwestern Tajikistan in 2023: a matched case-control study

Abstract Background A sharp increase in brucellosis incidence was observed in northwestern Tajikistan (from 1.0/100,000 people in 2022 to 32,7/100,000 by May 2023). Most cases, 82% (84/103), were from the same village (population=10,712). We investigated to identify risk factors and mitigate disease. Epidemic curve of monthly cases of brucellosis from January to September 2023, Farob village, Panjakant district, Sughd region (n=123). Methods Using a case-control design, we conducted face-to-face interviews and collected blood from May-July 2023. Cases were the first person in a household diagnosed with brucellosis in February-June 2023 with positive Huddleson reaction test and Wright antibody titers ≥1/160. Two controls were selected for each case (neighbors from different households matched by age and sex). Controls testing positive were excluded (13%). We conducted conditional multivariable logistic regression to assess odds of brucellosis expressed as adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Multivariate analysis of human brucellosis risk factors, Farob village, Panjakent district , Tajikistan, 2023 Results Of 84 cases, 57 (58%) met inclusion criteria. Of which, 68% were 15-44 years old and 44% were male. Cases peaked in May. Common symptoms were joint pain (95%), fever (84%), weakness (72%), and night sweats (65%). All cases and 94% of controls (n=114) had livestock (mostly cattle, sheep or goats); no animals had not been vaccinated < 5 years. A greater proportion of cases than controls had consumed homemade kaymak (clotted cream from unpasteurized milk) (89% vs 36%), home-produced meat (98% vs 82%) or neighborhood-produced milk (81% vs 61%); or engaged in animal slaughter (42% vs 11%) or animal grooming (32% vs 10%). Brucellosis was associated with consumption of homemade kaymak (AOR=60.6 [CI=4.2-873.0], p=0.003), homemade meat (55.1 [1.2-2,549.0], p=0.040), neighborhood milk (8.6 [1.6-47.9], p=0.014), animal slaughter (50.9 [2.8-919.0], p=0.008) or animal grooming (15.6 [1.1-234.0], p=0.047). Conclusion Contact with unvaccinated livestock or consumption of their products was a key contributor to this outbreak. Cases were likely higher than reported. Following our investigation, an education and vaccination was carried out and no more brucellosis cases were reported after August 2023. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Образование и развитие поселков городского типа в Западной Сибири в 1920-2010-е гг.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the process of formation and development of urban-type settlements in Western Siberia in the 1920s and 2010s. The paper examines the reasons for the allocation of the mentioned status of settlements by state authorities, traces the dynamics of their number and size over several time periods, determines the features of the development of settlements in changing political, economic and socio-cultural conditions. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time, based on statistical data from the population censuses for 1926, 1939, 1959, 1970, 1979, 1989, 2002, 2010, 2020 the formation rates of urban-type settlements in Western Siberia are shown, and the trajectory of their subsequent development is studied. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that the highest rates of village formation occurred during the 1930s and 1960s, which was associated with the industrialization of the country, urbanization (including artificial, purposefully carried out by the state), the construction of large industrial enterprises, and intensive development of natural resources. Since the mid-1980s, there has been a sharp decline in the rate of rural settlement formation due to deindustrialization, the closure of factories and industrial plants, and the outflow of population to cities. This led to a change in the status of urban-type settlements, some of which turned into villages or rural settlements. At the same time, the population of villages with the status of a urban-type settlements decreased, and their socio-cultural and industrial infrastructure "compressed".

Indonesia has entered the era of digitalization, where the development of technology and information is accelerating. Of course, the development of technology and information has an impact on various aspects, one of which is the aspect of public services by the government in the field of public services through the Digital Population Identity or IKD program. The Digital Population Identity program is an innovation carried out by the Directorate General of Dukcapil of the Ministry of Home Affairs to simplify and accelerate the process of digital public service transactions. The establishment of Digital Population Identity can be done in various locations, including Siola, Sub-district, Village Office, and RW Hall. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of the IKD activation service at the Medokan Ayu Village RW Hall in helping residents activate IKD. This research uses a qualitative methodology with a descriptive approach. The data used in this research comes from primary and secondary references, with primary data obtained through observation and documentation techniques, while secondary data is obtained through a literature review. The theoretical framework used in this research is the theory of effectiveness which includes four main indicators, namely the accuracy of program targets, program socialization, achievement of program objectives, and program monitoring. The results of this study show that residents are very enthusiastic in activating IKD at the RW Hall of Medokan Ayu Village. The socialization of the IKD activation service program at Balai RW was carried out by the Medokan Ayu Village Government in collaboration with the Heads of RT and RW. In its implementation, there are still obstacles in implementing the program. Monitoring is carried out by Medokan Ayu Village and Surabaya City Civil Registration and Population Office employees, and the monitoring results are used as evaluation material.

The level of dependency on direct benefits from Community Forestry (HKm) in Mattirowalie, Barru Regency, South Sulawesi

Abstract The level of dependency on direct benefits from forest products, especially for communities living near the forest, continues to increase due to population growth. This situation poses challenges, as the rising village population may lead to conflicts of interest and resource use that surpasses the area’s carrying capacity. To mitigate these conflicts, the government initiated a social forestry program known as Community Forestry (HKm). One such program is implemented in Mattirowalie, Barru Regency. This study aims to calculate the total income and evaluate the level of community dependency on the Community Forestry program in Mattirowalie Village, Barru Regency, South Sulawesi. Data collected were analyzed using income analysis (production costs, revenue, and income), contribution analysis, and dependency level analysis. Results show that the average income earned by farmers is IDR 65,853,090 per year, with a relatively low community dependency level of 25%. This low dependency is attributed to the focus solely on direct economic benefits, excluding significant contributions from invaluable forest ecosystem services.

지속가능한 비즈니스모델을 통한 가방디자인 연구 - 페그물 업사이클링 KOOK 브랜드 제품을 중심으로

Along with the aging population of local fishing villages and the decrease in fishing income due to job losses, the problem of fishing net waste accumulated on the coast is becoming a discouraging factor for the environment and marine tourism. Due to the aging and declining population of fishing villages, there is a shortage of manpower to collect this waste, making it imperative to solve fundamental problems related to cost reduction for maintaining a pleasant environment and waste disposal. This issue can be partially addressed by using yarn extracted from waste nets in fishing villages to produce upcycled products. Additionally, this initiative will create jobs that can help increase the income of fishing villages, where the dominant population consists of seniors. By carrying out the commercialization process using waste nets in a social economic manner, we believe that a virtuous cycle business model can be established, leading to community problem-solving and job creation, along with effective design development through the process of recognizing and resolving various issues in the local community. If a business model such as “KOOK” is established and specialized products suitable for regional characteristics are developed, a social contribution business model can be created alongside effective design development while addressing various challenges faced by the local community.

ANALISIS PERAN BADAN PERMUSYAWARATAN DESA (BPD) DALAM PEMILIHAN KEPALA DESA MENURUT UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 6 TAHUN 2014 DAN FIQIH SIYASAH

The village government, led by the village head and supported by village officials, collaborates with the Village Consultative Body (BPD) to discuss and agree on draft village regulations. In Islamic law, based on Siyasah Fiqh, the BPD is akin to ahlu al-halli wa al-‘aqdi, functioning as a legislative body and executor of government policies (ulil amri). This study aims to analyze the role of the BPD in village head elections from the perspectives of Law No. 6 of 2014 and Siyasah Fiqh. Using a library research method, the findings reveal: (1) Under Law No. 6 of 2014, the BPD represents the village population democratically and performs government functions. The village head's accountability through the BPD reflects people's sovereignty and democracy at the village level. (2) From the perspective of Siyasah Fiqh, the BPD aligns with the concept of ahlu al-halli wa al-‘aqdi, acting as a legislative institution responsible for upholding governance and public interest. The study highlights the BPD's critical role in balancing governance and ensuring democratic principles at the village level, in harmony with both national laws and Islamic teachings.

Improvement of Population Data for Kuta Mbelin Village, STM Hulu District, Deliserdang Regency to Open SID Based Population Data

The community service program conducted in the fostered village of LPPM USU, namely Kuta Mbelin Village, STM Hulu District, Deliserdang Regency, which already has a village information system (https://s.id/kutambelin) as a manifestation of a digital village, should convert the population data processed conventionally into population data that can be integrated with the village's needs. This includes the ability to monitor population growth, facilitate correspondence and archiving, obtain village population statistics, and more. To improve this data, the fostered village team is implementing an open-source Village Information System, commonly known as Open SID. The data processed by the village using MS Excel covers two hamlets out of the three in Kuta Mbelin village. Hamlet I has 261 residents and Hamlet II has 532 residents, while Hamlet III is still being processed by the village operator. This existing population data needs to be refined and integrated into the Open SID-based population data platform by first performing data cleaning to ensure it can be incorporated into the village information system. The data entry process is continuously carried out by the LPPM USU community service team and village operators, involving USU MBKM KKN students in the village.

EDUKASI PENGUATAN EKONOMI LOKAL PADA KELOMPOK PETANI GARAM DALAM IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN EKONOMI KERTHI BALI DI DESA KUSAMBA KECAMATAN DAWAN KABUPATEN KLUNGKUNG

Dawan District is one of the areas located in Klungkung Regency which is in the coastal area. Nearly 20% of local people earn their livelihood in the fisheries and marine sectors. The potential of the large marine area, precisely in Kusamba Village, can certainly be a great opportunity for the local community to make a living as salt farmers. Kusamba is an old village located almost seven (7) km from Semarapura City Klungkung, according to Pemancangah or chronicle about the escape of Ki Gusti Maruti who rebelled against the King of Bali in Gelgel (Queen Dalem Dimadya) in 1686, Ki Gusti Maruti also brought along the servants who were residents of Pasek Gelgel and at that time it was said that residents of Pasek Gelgel were also related to residents of Pasek in Kusamba who were known as Pasek Sadra, from these residents of Pasek Gelgel he was at the location of the new settlement in Kuramas village, the residents were placed in Banjar Gelgel, Keramas . In 1750 AD, after the death of the King of the Kelungkung Kingdom, Ratu Dewa Agung Sakti, and was replaced by his sister Ratu Dewa Agung Gde Panji as King of Kelungkung, the sons of the King of Kelungkung Ratu Dewa Agung Gde Pandji were each given a place to live to protect the people and the security of the Kingdom. Klungkung. The population of Kusamba village as of 2021 is 5,465 people consisting of 2,649 men and 2,816 women. In this case, the importance of education related to building a business concept motivates the community to be able to plan a local economic business. The Governor of Bali's policy through Circular Letter (SE) No.17 of 2021 concerning the use of local Balinese traditional salt products in its implementation as a Kerthi Bali Economic concept where he conveyed that traditional salt farmers must be preserved because the salt produced by Kusamba village tastes delicious, this has become opportunities for local communities to be able to build a business, either individually or as a group, by exploiting this potential in their area to help improve the economy and prosperity. It is hoped that the educational understanding of the concept of sustainable business and the Kerthi Bali Economic policy will be able to provide an overview of the community in the Nusa Penida sub-district to build a business that contains elements of Balinese natural local wisdom as a form of assisting the government in realizing the vision and mission of the Bali provincial government. The educational process as a new business is the main thing that needs to be understood, including the elements that support the business line so that it can still reach the market and survive, because a business is not only oriented towards profit but also the community and the surrounding nature.

The influence of village funds on the development of village economic potential: A case study

The study aims to analyze the impact of the effectiveness of the village fund, the allocation of village funds, and the participation of the public in the management of the rural funds on the development of the economic potential of the people in the village of Perolihen, Sitellu Tali Urang Jehe, Pakpak Bharat district. The study employed a quantitative approach, surveying 63 respondents from the Perolihen Village population through a questionnaire. The obtained data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM PLS) method with the help of SmartPLS 4 software. The results of the research show that the effectiveness of village funds and the management of the village fund have a significant influence on the development of the economic potential of the people in the village of Perolihen. However, public participation in village fund management does not have a significant influence on the development of the population's economic potential.

Minority identity and place-name use in a Slovak–Hungarian bilingual settlement

AbstractThis paper discusses the relationship between minority identity and place-name use in Hrušov/Körtvélyes. The research location is in the Rožňava/Rozsnyó district of the Košice/Kassa region, near Slovakia's border with Hungary. 79% of the village's population belong to the Hungarian national minority, while 20% of the population identifies as Slovak. The community can be described as bilingual, as they use both Hungarian and Slovak, depending on the situation and context. Most of the settlement's place name stock consists of toponyms in Hungarian, with Slovak toponyms mainly appearing only on maps from the second half of the 20th century. However, even the residents who claim Slovak nationality and/or Slovak mother tongue hardly know and use the Slovak toponyms. This sociological study of place names, including 10% of the population (34 people), proves this. The strong minority identity is reflected in the fact that the community of Hrušov/Körtvélyes uses Hungarian toponyms and has not adopted the artificially created Slovak toponyms. In this context, it is safe to conclude that learning and revisiting the use of toponyms can strengthen identity, as it strengthens the ties to the community.

Rural Road Infrastructure and Women’s Empowerment in India

Abstract The paper examines the impact of a rural road construction program in India on a range of outcomes that capture women’s empowerment comprehensively. While spatial integration can ease mobility constraints and provide women with increased education and employment opportunities, the extent of benefits might be limited by underlying gender norms. The paper identifies the impact of the policy by exploiting the program rule that assigned roads based on the village population in a two-way fixed effect framework. The results suggest that the policy reduces mobility restrictions faced by women and improves norms around domestic violence and intra-household agency. It also finds a positive impact of the policy on female education; however, there is limited impact on female employment. Additionally, the study documents gendered impact of the policy—men benefit more in terms of employment than women. The paper offers important policy prescription on how investment in rural roads can affect women’s lives.

Ivermectin-Based Mass Drug Administration for Scabies in Northern India: A Single-Arm Community Intervention Trial.

Scabies and impetigo cause direct health effects and contribute to severe infectious and immune-mediated complications. Ivermectin-based mass drug administration can reduce scabies and impetigo prevalence in island settings with high prevalence, but the effectiveness in moderate-prevalence settings is not known. We conducted a single-arm, before-after community intervention trial. Mass drug administration was offered to the entire population of 4 villages in Uttarakhand, India. The treatment consisted of 2 doses, given 7 days apart, of oral ivermectin (∼200 μg/kg), or topical 5% permethrin if ivermectin was contraindicated. The primary outcome was the prevalence of scabies at 12 months compared with baseline, as diagnosed using clinical assessment and the 2020 International Alliance for the Control of Scabies criteria. Secondary outcomes included the prevalence of impetigo at each time point. The trial was registered with the Australian and New Zealand Trials Registry (ACTRN12619001712190). In January 2020, 1211 participants were enrolled (100% of the estimated village population). Treatment coverage was high-1204 (99.4%) and 1177 (97.2%) received 1 and 2 doses, respectively. Scabies was diagnosed in 91 participants (7.5%) and impetigo in 15 (1.2%). In February 2021, 1190 (98.3% of baseline) participants re-enrolled, and of these 11 had scabies (0.9%; relative risk reduction, 87.7%; 95% CI, 77.1%-93.4%) and 5 had impetigo (0.4%; relative risk reduction, 66.1%; 95% CI, 7.0%-87.6%). A single round of ivermectin-based mass drug administration substantially reduced the prevalence of scabies and impetigo in this setting with moderate scabies prevalence in northern India.

Pengaruh Fraud Triangle dan Religiositas dalam Memengaruhi Niat Korupsi Anggaran Dana Desa

Corruption is one type of fraud in Indonesia that must be watched out, because based on international transparency data on January 31 2023, Indonesia's Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in 2022, namely 34, experienced the most drastic decrease of 4 points compared to Indonesia's CPI in 2021. The decreasing score shows that there is a lack of support from stakeholders because it is still slow in responding to corrupt practices. Corruption apparently also occurs in villages, because based on ICW data, since the allocation of village funds by the government in 2015, the trend of corruption cases continues to increase until 2022. The aim of this research is to test and analyze the influence of pressure, opportunity, rationalization and religiosity on intention to commit corruption in the village budget. The research method was carried out quantitatively, by distributing questionnaires to the entire village population in Serang-Banten Regency, totaling 326 villages. The data analysis technique in this research uses SEM-PLS. The results of the study show that (1) Pressure does not influence the intention to corrupt the village fund budget, (2) Opportunity positively influences the intention to corrupt the village fund budget, (3) Rationalization positively influences the intention to corrupt the village fund budget, and (4) Religiosity does not influence the intention corruption in the village fund budget.

Analisis model pembangunan pertanian di Desa Jaten Kecamatan Jaten Kabupaten Karanganyar

Background: The ongoing development of agriculture has not succeeded in elevating farmers and agriculture to their proper position. The gap in the welfare of farmers compared to workers in other sectors is indeed widening. Findings: Progress in the agricultural sector will be realized if development planners, in this case the government, are serious about managing the existing natural potential and can improve the welfare of agricultural managers. Agricultural modernization is absolutely necessary for progress in agricultural development because modernization is one of the requirements to be able to compete and improve the quality of agricultural products. Methods: A qualitative approach is a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people and observed behavior. The descriptive-qualitative research method focuses on problems based on facts carried out by means of observation, interviews, and studying documents. Conclusion: The potential of Jaten Village that can be developed is PAD. The main livelihood of the majority of the Jaten village population is in the non-agricultural sector. The technology in Jaten Village is already very good. The internet network in Jaten Village is very easily accessible.

Post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis burden at the village level in selected high visceral leishmaniasis endemic upazilas in Bangladesh

As post kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) threatens the success of the Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) elimination initiative, we aimed to investigate the PKDL burden, including an active search for PKDL in leprosy-negative skin lesion cases. We also investigated their health-seeking behavior and perceived level of stigma. This was a cross-sectional survey among inhabitants in the VL-endemic villages of the five most VL-endemic upazilas. VL experts trained medical officers in Upazila Health Complexes (UHCs) and leprosy facilities in PKDL management. Frontline workers conducted house-to-house surveys, referring PKDL suspects to designated centers. Data analysis involved Epi Info version 7 and IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Among 472,435 screened individuals, 4022 had past VL (0.85 %). Among the screened population, 82 were PKDL suspects, and 62 PKDL cases were confirmed. The overall PKDL burden was 1.3 (95 % CI: 1.0-1.7) in the 10,000 population in the endemic villages. Male predominance and macular form of PKDL were observed. Thirty-nine PKDL patients perceived stigma of different levels. Only 27 of 62 (44 %) had received PKDL treatment. Medicine's unavailability and side effects were a major reason behind treatment interruption. Active screening among 137 leprosy-negative PKDL suspects yielded 10 (7.3 %) PKDL cases. The existence of PKDL cases in the VL endemic areas is a concern as those are inter-epidemic reservoirs. As per the WHO roadmap, the PKDL burden must be reduced by 70 % and 100 %, respectively, by 2026 and 2030. NKEP can take the current burden of 1.3 per 10,000 people in VL endemic villages as a baseline. Integrating active case detection for PKDL in leprosy hospitals and screening centers is feasible and worth deploying nationwide.

Digitalisasi Database Kependudukan Desa Lebih Gianyar

In this digital era, many people do not yet know about technological developments, especially the role of information technology. Where the role of technology in developing village websites is very important. There are several problems experienced by more villages where the village community has not been able to develop a website perfectly, for example, such as not having entered information about the advantages of more villages and information about more village population data. Based on the problems experienced by the village, regarding the development of the village website, the village government and also the Gianyar district community and village empowerment service are collaborating with Primakara University through the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (BMKM) program with the Final Project scheme.

Health literacy and its associated factors among the population in two schistosomiasis-endemic villages in Jiangxi Province, China.

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the levels of health literacy and the associated factors among the general population living in 2 schistosomiasis-endemic villages in Jiangxi Province, China. Multistage stratified random sampling was used to select participants, and a face-to-face survey was conducted from July to August 2021 to collect participants' socio-demographic characteristics and levels of overall health literacy (HL) and its 3 subscales: health literacy of basic knowledge and concepts (HL-BKC), health literacy of behavior and lifestyle (HL-BAL), and health literacy of health-related skills (HL-HRS). The Chi-square test and logistic regression models were used to assess the association between socio-demographic characteristics and low HL levels. The prevalence rates of low overall HL, HL-BKC, HL-BAL, and HL-HRS were 84.3%, 61.8%, 82.6%, and 86%, respectively. In addition, no significant differences (P > .05) were noted between the 2 villages regarding overall HL scores and the 3 subscales of health literacy scores. Older age (P < .001), occupation (P < .001), lower educational level (P < .001), and lower annual household income (P < .05) were associated with an increased risk of low HL. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that occupation as a student (OR = 32.289, 95% CI:1.965-530.462, P < .05) and fishermen (OR = 27.902, 95%CI:1.91-407.642, P < .05), lower education level (OR = 0.384, 95%CI:0.149-0.99, P < .05), older age (OR = 5.228, 95%CI:1.458-18.75, P < .001), and lower annual household income (OR = 0.452, 95%CI:0.24-0.851, P < .05) were independently associated with low HL. The prevalence of low HL is high among the population in the schistosomiasis-endemic villages of Jiangxi Province, China. Age, education level, occupation, and annual household income were all independent factors associated with HL levels. Health educational interventions to improve HL should be simultaneously conducted in health promotion work to reduce risky habits.

Ecological Restoration and Sustainable Development: The Impact of Wakaf Forest Institutions on Socio-Economic Benefits

Indonesia is enhancing forest landscapes, particularly in deforestation-affected areas, through waqf forests to achieve environmental sustainability and community welfare. This study examines the ecological restoration processes within waqf forests and offers policy recommendations. It investigates causal relationships affecting waqf forest populations in Cibunian and Cibeureum villages using an ex post facto design and quantitative methods. Focusing on Cibunian beneficiaries, who generally possess higher education levels, the study explores the link between education and improved forest management. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings reveal that the Waqf Forest Institution significantly impacts the socio-economic benefits of the waqf forest, contributing 26.4% to these benefits. Additionally, the institution enhances the ecological restoration of the waqf forest by 13.9%. The path coefficient value indicates a positive influence on the sustainability of these socio-economic benefits. Hypothesis testing confirms a significant impact of the Waqf Forest Institution, validating the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The Waqf Forest Institution is a vital resource for the local community, offering sustainable forest management and generating income. Managed in accordance with Indonesian laws and Islamic Sharia regulations, the institution strategically selects sites to improve service access and enhance the forest's role in livelihoods. The study underscores the importance of higher education in improving forest management and suggests policy frameworks support educational initiatives alongside ecological projects. Implications advocate for community-based financial models and strategic partnerships to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
