Data Visualization of Development Improvement and Budget Assistance for Village Residents Using the R Studio Program in Jombatan Village, Jombang District

Indonesia is a country that implements a regional self-government system, where each region is given the freedom to manage an exclusive area. This sovereignty does not only apply at the provincial and regional levels but also includes villages. Implementing "Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages marks the beginning of a new era in village financial management". This law increases village income by allocating the Village Budget sourced from the State Budget (APBN). Village financial management is expected to be carried out more transparently, and accountably, and involve the population's participation. Village financial management includes all activities consisting of planning, implementation, management, reporting, and accountability of village finances.

SOCIAL WORK WITH INTERNET-ADDICTED ADOLESCENTS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF THEORY AND PRACTICE

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theory and practice of social work with the problem of Internet dependency of teenagers. The scientific work of prominent domestic and foreign scientists is reviewed, who have investigated the problem of social work with the Internet addiction. The analysis was carried out using research methods such as generalization and comparison. We have seen where certain methods and forms of correction and prevention will be developed and implemented with addicts extensive and direct research into various Internet activities, including the influence on the socialization of feeders and models of internet activity formation. Most of authors mentioned in the article focused on the problem of the negative impact of Internet addiction on the socialization of adolescents, while some of them focused on the process of acquisition of Internet addiction mechanisms by adolescents. Most authors recognize the dominance of socio-psychological factors in training and the effectiveness of training methods and counseling in diagnosis and prevention. It is important to consider the problem of Internet addiction from the position of the government and the powers that contribute to the economy and the need to develop a system for monitoring and assessing the level of addiction. It was determined that the danger of Internet addiction for society lies in the reduction of the population's participation in social activities and state affairs. It was proposed to appoint working groups and commissions to combat the legacy of Internet oppression and activate the re-socialization of the delinquent people in the country and the state. Thus, information on the number of addicts and the stage of their addiction will be sent to working groups,

Strategizing the security personnel potential in the cost management system of sports industry and agrotourism enterprises

The article is devoted to strategizing the security personnel potential in the cost management system of enterprises of the sports industry and agrotourism. Based on the research, it was proposed to arrange the adaptation tools for the management of the strategizing of the security personnel's potential. The study aimed to study the strategizing of the security personnel potential in the cost management system of enterprises of the sports industry and agrotourism. Current influencing factors on the strategizing of safety personnel potential in the cost management system of the sports industry and agritourism enterprises are systematized, in particular: the total population of Ukraine, the demographic situation in Ukraine, population growth, the total mass of labor resources, the total number of underutilized labor force, the length of the working week, incomes and expenses of the population, the specific weight of wages in the total amount of incomes of the population, the number of employed workers at enterprises and individual entrepreneurs, the development of their innovative potential, indicators of unemployment of the population, the system of employee motivation, labor productivity, net profit in the industry per employee, etc. The systematic decrease in the number of employees of Ukrainian enterprises and the increase in their average age combined with a small share of highly qualified workers has been updated. In addition to natural population decline, migration decline is also observed. The population's participation level in the labor force is quite high, which has a positive effect on the level of security personnel potential. In addition to gender, age asymmetry is observed. There is a disproportionate flow of workers from medium and small enterprises to large ones, the potential of which could be much higher, which creates additional risks to personnel security. The possible and actual influence of the listed factors of alarmism, paternalistic, and opportunistic attitudes in the countryside should be analyzed in the context of the formation of an appropriate policy of safety personnel potential at specific enterprises of the sports industry and agritourism in modern conditions, which is the subject of further research. Keywords: strategizing, security, personnel potential, system, cost management, enterprises, sports industry, agritourism

Factors Affecting the Behavioral Intention of Public Universities Art Design Major Students by Using Blended Learning in Chengdu

Background and Aim: This paper mainly reacts to the important factors affecting the willingness of undergraduate art and design students to participate in blended learning in three public universities in Chengdu. The study investigated latent variables including Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Attitude (ATT), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), Facilitating Conditions (FC), and Behavioral Intention (BI). The goal of this paper is to determine the extent to which each variable influences the target population's participation in blended learning activities. Materials and Methods: In this paper, the characteristics of anchors are classified into three dimensions: attitudes, behavioral intentions, etc., and the relationship between blended learning and students is discussed. In this paper, 488 data were collected through questionnaires and statistically analyzed, and the hypothesis was tested using SPSS and AMOS software. Results: The results of the statistical analysis confirmed all the hypotheses, with effort expectancy exhibiting the most pronounced and significant direct impact on behavioral intention. Conclusion: For art and design students to fully appreciate and acknowledge the efficacy of blended learning, college administrators and instructional staff must allocate adequate attention to the factors that wield substantial influence over instructional behavioral intentions. Moreover, they should contemplate prospective instructional modifications or reforms guided by the outcomes of this study.

Yoga as an Escape from Depreciating Mental Health due to COVID 19: A Qualitative study analyzing the factors associated with mental status based on the experiences of geriatric population's participation in an Online program during COVID 19 lockdown in India.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left an array of direct physical consequences unevenly on the elderly apart from leaving a wide range of indirect consequences of mental health problems on them. This study aims to understand the effect of a Yoga-Meditation based mobile phone application intervention to reduce the duress by mental health issues via a qualitative analysis. A phenomenological qualitative succession of an explanatory sequential design of a prior quantitative study followed by a Yoga-Meditation mobile phone based intervention, where 30 participants who had mild or moderate Depression, Anxiety or Stress as assessed by DASS-21 were chosen by random sampling and were asked to take part in an interview. The interview was transcribed, coded, patterns identified and themes were created to understand the perceptions. Three major schools of thought were identified and explored to understand the general perception of Mental health, COVID-19 and the intervention: a) Knowledge Axis patterns of COVID-19, which included their prior knowledge about the disease, its consequences and their cues to action based on those beliefs, b) Mental Health and Strategies to Positivity, involves all their actions to promote, restore or propagate a positive mental attitude from religious activities to physical activities and c) Application related thoughts, involved their perceptions of the app, the barriers to use and suggestions to improve. This study gave deeper insight into the schools of thought which will be important in designing future interventions and yoga-meditation based programs in the future, essentially for geriatric populations as it serves as a feasible simple measure for the same.

Исторический обзор добровольческих практик в системе здравоохранения в 1920–1970-х гг. По материалам фондов ГАРФ и ЦГА г. Москвы

Turning to archival materials continues the Russian archivists’ tradition, developed in the recent decades, to introduce into scientific use documents of key importance for understanding the Soviet history and its episodes, including those related to socially significant activities of voluntary activists in the field of healthcare under the auspices of the Union of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the USSR. The chronological frameworks of the undertaken research is 1920–70s. The author aims to review documentary sources that reflect the activities of the Society's activists acting on voluntary and gratuitous basis. The work actualizes the problem of evolution of the sectorial sphere of volunteer labor application from historical point of view. In its activities during the studied period, the Society used traditional organizational forms and sought out new ones for social mobilization of the population's participation in gratuitous donor movement and its promotion, sanitary improvement of cities and villages, improvement and popularization of sanitary culture at work and home, public sanitary control, preventive measures and combating the spread of infectious diseases, etc. The empirical base of the study is formed by materials from the State Archive of the Russian Federation and the Central State Archive of Moscow. The body of sources on the subject analyzed by the author is distinguished by its diversity (minutes of meetings of the executive committee plenums, operational meetings, transcripts, certificates, annual reports on core activities, etc.); it permits to highlight the diverse activities, forms and methods of the Society's activists’ work, as well as to trace the process of institutionalization of the profile direction in the national volunteer movement in the field of healthcare. The author has introduced unique archival documents into scientific use. The methodological basis of the work is principle of historicism, systematic nature of scientific analysis, objectivity, integrated use of a wide range of sources, which has made it possible to consider the volunteer practices of socially significant activity in the healthcare system in the process of its formation and development, in the context of historical conditionality and continuity of its development. The article takes on particular importance in connection with systematic development and popularization of medical volunteering in modern Russia, which takes into account the rich historical experience and heritage of the USSR.

Reflections on patient safety incident reporting systems.

To reflect on the main characteristics and recommendations of Incident Reporting Systems, discuss the population's participation in reporting, and point out challenges in the Brazilian system. Reflection study, based on Ordinance No. 529/13, which instituted the National Patient Safety Program, under Collegiate Board Resolution (CBR) No. 36/13; reflections by experts were added. Reporting systems are a source for learning and monitoring, allow early detection of incidents, investigations and, mainly, the generation of recommendations prior to recurrences, in addition to raising information for patients and relatives. There is little participation of the population in the reporting, regardless of the type of system and characteristics such as confidentiality, anonymity, and mandatory nature. In Brazil, although reporting is mandatory, there is an urgency to advance the involvement and participation of the population, professionals, and institutions. To simplify data entry by improving the interface and importing data from the reporting system is an objective to be achieved.

Tendon lengthening after achilles tendon rupture–passive effects on the ankle joint in a cadaveric pilot study simulating weight bearing

BackgroundIn recent years, primary Achilles tendon ruptures have increased due to the aging population's participation in physically demanding activities. These injuries commonly occur during recreational sports and frequently lead to a long-term reduction in activity despite treatment. Non-operative methods of treatment for Achilles tendon ruptures may result in the Achilles healing in a lengthened position compared to the pre-injury state. This study uses a cadaveric model that simulates static weight bearing to explore the effect of a lengthened Achilles tendon on ankle joint load distribution. MethodsFive lower limb cadaveric specimens were placed on a custom jig, where a 334 N (75 lb) load was applied at the femoral head, and the foot was supported against a plate to simulate static double-leg stance. A pressure mapping sensor was inserted into the ankle joint. A percutaneous triple hemiresection tendo-Achilles lengthening procedure (Hoke procedure) was performed on each specimen to simulate tendon lengthening after conservative treatment. Contact pressure, peak pressure, and center-of-pressure were measured for native and tendon-lengthened conditions. ResultsTendon rupture did not significantly alter average contact pressure, peak contact pressures, or center-of-pressure in the ankle joint compared with native tendon. ConclusionAchilles lengthening does not significantly change contact pressures of the ankle joint in this model . This result suggests that the passive restraint on ankle joint translation imposed by the Achilles tendon is minimal without muscle activation.

CONFRONTATION OF THE UPA (UKRAINIAN INSURGENT ARMY) WITH THE SOVIET PARTISANS AND THE POLES IN KAMIN-KASHYRSKYI DISTRICT (1943–1944)

The article analyzes sources of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army's struggle against the Soviet partisans and Polish units on the territory of Kamin-Kashyrskyi district of the Volyn region during the Nazi occupation. The archival sources traced the formation of the Soviet partisan movement and the Polish nationalist underground, as well as the causes and course of the confrontation. A special place in the article is given to the Ukrainian-Polish confrontation. The author analyzes the national composition of the Soviet partisan movement and the Polish population's participation in it. The main directions of the Ukrainian-Polish conflict are distinguished: the Poles' fight against the UPA as part of the German police and the Soviet partisan movement. The study identified relations between Ukrainians and Poles when the district's inhabitants were a part of the Polish state and at the beginning of World War II. The most large-scale military operations of the UPA soldiers with the Soviet partisans and the Polish units, the strategy, and tactics of their implementation have been outlined and systematized. An attempt has been made to classify military operations by chronological and problematic approach. The conclusions about the scale of military operations and their importance are made. The article focuses on the ideological confrontation between the UPA, the Soviet partisans, and the Polish underground formations, implementation of the ideological struggle methods. The article will be useful for a wide scientific community interested in the local history of the Ukrainian national liberation movement. Keywords: Ukrainian National Liberation Movement, Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Polish units, the Soviet partisans, the Ukrainian-Polish confrontation, Kamin-Kashyrskyi area, German-Nazi occupation, military operation

Одонтологическая характеристика населения Горного Алтая гунно-сарматского времени

The Xiongnu-Sarmatian era (1st century BC – first half of the 5th century AD) on the territory of Mountain Altai is represented by the Bulan-Koba culture. Earlier studies of the anthropological composition of the Mountain Altai population of this period made it possible to reveal the presence of an autochthonous anthropological layer. Also a noticeable increase in the proportion of the Mongoloid component only for the southeastern part of Mountain Altai was noticed. This article presents for the first time data on the dental system features of the Mountain Altai population, which is an independent source. The aim of the work is to analyze the anthropological composition of the population based on the data of odontology and to determine the origins of its genesis. The work is based on the analysis of data from the burial grounds Bosch-tuu I, Bulan-Koby IV, Stepushka 1, 2 and Ayrydash I (Altai Republic) that belong to the belo-bomsky stage (2nd – the first half of the 4th century AD). The series of the Ayrydash I burial ground includes 79 individuals, Bosh-Tuu I – 43 individuals, Bulan-Koba IV – 39 individuals, Stepushka 1, 2 – 23 individuals. The paper discusses 10 key odontoscopic traits. The evaluation of the traits and their further analysis were carried out in accordance with the methodology and technic contained in the works of A. A. Zubov. As a result, it was found that all the series studied belong to the range of populations of the western odontological branch with some increase in the frequency of traits of eastern orientation. In the group of Ayrydash I, taking into account the total number of the series, this eastern “raid” is the most distinct. The genesis of the population of the Mountain Altai of the Xiongnu-Xianbei-Rouran time was complex, as in previous epochs. The data of odontology prove that the “Pazyryks” directly preceding the “Bulan-Kobins” was not the main substrate on the basis of which the new population was composed. Rather, the basis was formed by descendants of the nomadic population of the forest-steppe foothills of the Altai. Dental anthropology data differ from that of craniology in assessing the role of the Pazyryk population's participation in the formation of Bulan-Koba culture. It is possible that an increase in the number of series studied will eventually lead to a convergence of estimates of the two systems.

Co-processing of hazardous waste: The perception of workers regarding sustainability and health issues in a Brazilian cement company

Abstract The practise of co-processing has been growing and is used to address socioeconomic, environmental, and energy issues. However, the uncertainties related to potential negative impacts on public health and the environment represent one of the major concerns of the competent authorities and scientific community. This research aims to assess the perception of workers in a cement plant in Brazil about sustainability (environmental, economic, social) and health issues related to the practise of co-processing, such as: pollution, conditions and safety of work, the environment, individual and collective health, employment opportunities, capacity building and training offered by the company, waste co-processing, public transparency, and active participation of the population in decision-making. A survey was conducted in a cement plant in Brazil using a questionnaire distributed to 50 workers, representing about 17% of a medium sized industry. The unit was chosen for its accessibility, as well as the fact that it is one of the 37 Brazilian industries that performs the task of co-processing and is not yet well known. Purposive sampling was used to include all workers whose work activities are directly linked to co-processing (16 workers), along with 34 representing all other plant sectors; in addition, seniority must be at least two years, and the worker must live in local communities or in surrounding cities. The results indicate positive perspectives toward most questions, except in the aspects related to the local population's knowledge about the practise of co-processing and those related to the population's participation in the decision-making processes: these aspects were both viewed negatively. The findings show that the perceptions of internal stakeholders (workers) of the cement industry are valuable in assessing the aspects related to co-processing, health risks, and environmental protection. The state environmental agencies must have the technical capacity to ensure that cement companies practise co-processing without endangering the health of workers and populations living near the industries as well as while preserving environmental conditions. The cement industry will be able to further reduce the environmental footprint of its operations and products in their final application and guarantee the safety of the workers and populations living near the industry through expertise and know-how. Sustainable cement production relies on well-educated and well-trained workers with highly efficient training programs and the creation of a supportive environment for workers; integrated pollution prevention and control with environmental management is a necessity in order to mitigate the negative effects. Populations living near the cement plant should have access to information on the environment and activities which pose danger, as well as the opportunity to participate in decision-making.

Barriers to involvement in physical activities of persons with mental illness.

Participating in physical activities could be essential for reducing the multiple risk factors for health problems that persons with severe mental illness (SMI) may suffer. However, people with SMI are significantly less active than the general population. To develop knowledge about factors related to the perceived barriers hindering this population's participation in physical activities and the benefits this participation would have, a study was conducted in Israel with 86 people with mental illness living in community mental health facilities prior to their participation in a health promotion program. A mixed method was implemented and included: a scale designed to measure participants' perceptions of the barriers to and benefits of involvement in physical activities; instruments focusing on bio-psycho-social factors that may affect the level of barriers experienced; and personal interviews. The findings revealed high ranking for accessibility barriers hindering the participation in physical activities. Bio-psycho-social factors stemming from the participants' mental health, such as level of depression, were correlated with higher ranking of accessibility barriers. Bio-psycho-social factors reflecting positive mental health and health, such as positive appraisal of body weight, were correlated with lower ranking of accessibility barriers. Other barriers may include organizational and broader systemic barriers in the mental health facilities where the participants reside. These findings illuminate the need to consider the unique challenges that persons with mental illness may face in any attempt to advance their involvement in physical activity.

Uterine cervical cancer screening in kitakyushu city: present and future

Uterine cervical cancer is the most common primary gynecologic malignant tumor in Japan. Conventional cervical screening Papanicolaou (Pap) test has been shown to be extremely effective in reducing cervical cancer incidence and mortality, but the consultation rate for cancer screening in Japan is markedly low, at 20% of prescribed subjects, in comparison with other developed countries. In 2001, 15,501 women (6.8%) received a Pap test in Kitakyushu City, and that was less than half of national average. From 2009, free coupons for uterine cervical cancer screening were distributed to Japanese woman who were 20, 25, 30, 35 or 40 years of age as part of the project for women-specific cancer screening. The rate of participation in Pap testing was 22.3% in 2012, with 31,970 women receiving cervical tests. It was almost as high as the national level. It's obvious that high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for cervical cancer incidence and HPV mainly infects through sexual practice. The rate of early cervical neoplasms and invasive cancers is currently increasing in young women. Abnormal Pap tests were detected in 2.3% of the women in 2008. To increase the population's participation in this screening process, a cost-effective and efficient system should be established. National and local governments, medical institutions, companies, and educational institutions must have an accurate understanding of the current situation, and take an assertive approach in order to decrease the mortality rate of uterine cervical cancer.

Protocol, politics and popular culture: the independence jubilee in Gabon

AbstractNational days are powerful moments of commemoration that aim at renewing the citizens' bonds to the nation and the state. In order to be successful, public rituals need to draw large audiences, and their ceremonial design therefore has to be adapted to suit the masses, employing elements of popular culture and everyday forms of nationhood. Despite drawing its significance from the declaration of independence in 1960, however, Gabon's independence jubilee was less concerned with history and commemoration than with celebrating the state and the nation in the present. The ceremonial design of Gabon's jubilee featured intensive preparations, official ceremonies, popular festivities and symbolic politics. In this article, I look at why history and commemoration played such an unimportant role during the celebrations and how Gabon's jubilee organisers included official as well as popular forms of nationhood to assure the population's participation.

Understanding Evidence-Based Research Methods: Challenges and Considerations in the Analysis of Survey Data

This contribution to the series of methodology columns addresses frequently encountered issues in analyzing large data sets for research, including ensuring that the data are both usable and reliable. The authors welcome comments, suggestions, and questions about the content and presentation of this column from all readers. This column is not comprehensive and does not replace information found in textbooks or peer-reviewed articles. The authors have used textbooks and articles, in addition to their experience, for reference and recommend that readers also refer to these sources for further explanation of the content in this column.Scenario: Allan, the Director of Facilities of Hospital XYZ, and Gwen, the senior researcher at a healthcare facilities design research consulting firm, have been discussing methods for conducting effective surveys to determine the relationship between newly constructed buildings and patient/staffattitudes and behaviors. After previously discussing pretesting, Gwen has called Allan to begin planning the data analysis. Readers can access the data file that Allan is using online at http://www.herdjournal.com/Media/DocumentLibrary/HERD_datasetwitherrors.xlsx. Their conversation follows.Gwen: Hi, Allan, it sounds like pretesting went well, and you've administered your final survey.Allan: We have! I got the surveys back and entered the results into MicrosoftExcel. I think we're now ready to analyze the data.Gwen: That's great, but we need to be careful before we jump into the data analysis. There are a few more steps to make sure the data are ready.Allan: OK, where do we start?Gwen: The first step before data analysis is to ensure that your data are properly formatted. Your records should be in a spreadsheet format such that each column corresponds to a single variable and each row corresponds to a single unit of analysis. In our case, the variables are the questions from the survey, and the units of analysis are the survey participants. Each variable should have a name that is simple and unique, does not have spaces, and does not begin with a number. In our data set, we had each participant answer three questions about how satisfied they were with their working conditions before and after the move. We could refer to these variables as SATISFACTION1A, SATISFACTION2A, and SATISFACTION3A for the responses before the move and SATISFACTION 1B, SATISFACTION2B, and SATISFACTION3B for the responses after the move. With these responses separated into different variables, it will be easier to perform analyses comparing each.You'll also want to make sure that each participant has a unique numeric identifier in the first column. Participants from all populations should be entered as rows in the same spreadsheet, and you should add an indicator variable to note each participant's population. In our data set, for example, participants from the PICU on the fifth floor of the hospital would have a 1 in the POPULATION column, and participants from the PICU on the seventh floor would have a 2 in the POPULATION column. When using numeric codes for text values, you should create a separate key file that explains the value for each code.When entering your data, you should format all or most of the data as numbers to allow computer programs to more easily describe and perform tests on your data. For example, even though the participants entered M or F when we asked them to report their gender, you would enter them as 1 or 2 in the GENDER column, indicating the corresponding values in your key file. Another consideration that you might encounter is collapsing continuous variables, those that have a range of values between two points, to categorical or ordinal variables, which contain a prespecified number of groups. For example, you might be tempted to group ages when you enter your data. It is best to always retain the continuous variables in your spreadsheet, in case you decide you don't want the data collapsed at a later point. …

Abstract B5: Region Five GMaP/BMaP Network: Preliminary findings from the comprehensive needs assessment principal investigator survey

Abstract Background: The Region Five GMaP/BMaP Network is a regional partnership representing 18 NCI funded institutions charged with the development and implementation of a comprehensive needs assessment (CNAT). The goal of the principle investigator (PI) component of the CNAT was to capture in-depth PI opinion on necessary elements to successful health disparities research, barriers to success and required funding and infrastructure elements needed to alleviate those barriers. In addition, we hoped to obtain specific recommendations for our network's development to foster successful research collaborations amongst our many institutions and the diverse populations we serve. Methods: The CNAT consisted of a mixed methods approach utilizing four instruments: A principal Investigator Survey and PI Interview and a Biospecimen Facility Survey and Interview. This presentation focuses on preliminary findings from the PI Survey. The surveys were conducted online by PI's during the months of March and April 2011. Qualitative interviews will be conducted between July and August 2011. The PI survey consisted of 48 distinct questions, with affiliated subset questions that covered seven core areas: cancer health disparities research/community, minority biospecimens collection, clinical trials recruitment and retention, bioinformatics/advanced & emerging technology, training, visioning the future; and network analysis. Results: PI online survey was completed by 14 of 18 region five institutions, a 77.8% completion rate. Preliminary findings show our region's investigator expertise is in the areas of CBPR, working with community based organizations, and training CHD researchers, with 84% (11/13) reporting collaborations with institutions and community partners. Most of the populations focused on among the PI's mirrors the populations in institution service areas. Forty-six percent (6/13) of institutions reported having implemented outreach or education strategies in the community to promote biospecimens research, while 69.2% (9/13) reported projects with the aim to improve accrual of minority patients into clinical trials. Four PI's focus 50–100% of their GMaP effort on health disparities programs; while five PI's focus between 50–100% of their GMaP group effort on health disparities research. 84% of PI's collaborate with others to conduct CHD research and community outreach. The most popular areas of CHD research are barriers to cancer screening, health literacy, and cancer (breast, prostate, cervical, and lung). Conclusions: Region Five has significant experience conducting community-based research and community education programs to increase minority/medically underserved population's participation in research. There are opportunities for collaboration among principal investigators and biospecimen facilities around minority biospecimen collection efforts. Region Five has established a formal network called the Cancer Disparities Research Network (CDRN) and is establishing a network website. A result of this preliminary network is the continuation of the collaboration and identification of potential health disparities projects. We anticipate implementing Cancer 102 education and training on research participation, biospecimen donation/biobanking and genetics across our institutions.

Passage, Profit, Protection, and the Challenge of Participation: Building and Belonging in African Cities

Accepting that successful “development” is premised on a population's participation in a collective undertaking, we must understand urban residents' interactions and ambitions. In African cities being transformed by geographic and social mobility, it is unclear what forms of inclusion, solidarity, or mutual recognition are desired or possible among those who live there. This paper argues that the pursuit of three objectives—profit, protection, and passage—is shaping these cities' social formations in ways that limit the ability of official and non-official institutions to interweave popular aspirations—however temporarily—to promote a common and mutually beneficial future. The paper starts from the premise that the novelty of the emerging social forms within Africa's cities requires a willingness to induce: to build a conceptual vocabulary of belonging reflecting practices of those living in and moving through Africa's cities. Only after doing this will we have the building blocks for further debate. With this in mind, the paper works towards a pair of interrelated tasks. The first is to challenge three premises often informing discussions of mobility and urban politics: (1) the presence of a dominant host community or political order; (2) that cities are destinations and not points of transit; and (3) that state institutions are the primary source of exclusion and the most potent tool for fostering inclusion in a collective endeavor. Second, it considers one form of membership and inclusion that can emerge where the presumptions outlined above do not hold. In doing so, it points to a kind of “tactical cosmopolitanism”, a set of discourses and practices that can subvert ethnic or national chauvinism and restrictive migration or anti-urbanization policies and practices. Drawing primarily on examples from Johannesburg, it shows how migrants negotiate partial inclusion in transforming societies without becoming bounded by them. The paper ends by reflecting briefly on the challenges such tactics pose for generating a collective urban project.

Hortênsia de Hollanda: a arte da educação em saúde para prevenção e controle das endemias no Brasil

The article presents the transcription of a class given by Brazilian educator Hortênsia Hurpia de Hollanda entitled: "Educação sanitária na profilaxia das endemias rurais" [Sanitary education in the prophylaxis of rural epidemics], in a refresher course on rural epidemics and included in the Anais da Faculdade Fluminense de Medicina in December 1956. The annotated publication of the manuscript seeks to prove the pioneering efforts of Hollanda, whose work has been seldom investigated, considering the dimension of her role in the area of health education in Brazil. Sensitivity to social problems, the importance of the population's participation and an experimental attitude are some of the aspects presented in the educator's text, revealing an advanced theoretical grounding for her times and an original and pioneering practice that remains to this day as an ideal to be achieved.

Avaliação do sistema de vigilância entomológica da doença de Chagas com participação comunitária em Mambaí e Buritinópolis, Estado de Goiás

Entomological surveillance of Chagas disease in Mambaí and Buritinópolis, in the State of Goiás, Brazil, has been kept up through the local population's participation, consisting of reporting the presence of vectors inside their homes. A long time has elapsed since instituting these control measures and it has now been certified that vector transmission has been halted. Thus, this study sought to evaluate the population's knowledge and practices in this situation. The results show that there has been progressive indifference towards the topic of 'Chagas disease', which can be attributed to the reduction in the magnitude of the problem that this disease represented, little participation in surveillance among schools, low epidemiological importance of secondary and native vectors and, consequently, limited control interventions from health services in response to notifications. It is proposed that direct search activities by means of sampling should be carried out periodically, and that there should be greater involvement among teaching institutions.
