Quality assessment of childhood immunisation services in primary health centres in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Introduction. With 20% of the African population, low routine immunization coverage, and a wild poliovirus reservoir, Nigeria contributes significantly to the overall regional burden of vaccine-preventable diseases. Since the introduction of the EPI in 1974 (which later became the National Programme on Immunization), Nigeria’s immunization program has suffered declining coverage. Poor quality affects service utilization, even where the services are provided free, just as immunization services are. Quality assessment will give an indication of the degree of satisfaction of clients with services as well as provide a framework for review of program priorities, strategies, and componentsPurpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the quality of immunisation services provided to children in primary health centres in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the immunisation services, assess the level of compliance with national and international standards for immunisation, and make recommendations for improvement where necessary. Additionally, the study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge on the quality of childhood immunisation services in Nigeria, particularly in the context of primary health centres. Ultimately, the findings of this study may help to improve the delivery of immunisation services in the region and ensure that more children are vaccinated and protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. Materials and methods. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of the quality of immunization services in Primary Health Centers in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. This study utilized some variables as indicators which included physical environment, resource availability, client satisfaction etc. formed into a questionnaire. The study involved 402 caregivers and 156 healthcare providers in 12 Primary Health Centers. The study utilized six instruments namely the Client questionnaire, Facility staff questionnaire, Facility Checklist, Personal Observation, Focus Group Discussion Guide, and Client Flow Chart.Outcomes. The results showed that the quality of immunization services was poor. The caregivers were dissatisfied with the reception by the providers. They were also not satisfied with the waiting time which they complained of as being too long. The attitude of the health care providers was also a cause of dissatisfaction.Discussion. This study found that the Community Health Extension Workers constituted the majority (39,4%) of the immunization service providers. Of the 152 healthcare providers that participated in the study, 92 (60,9%) had attended in-service training on immunization within the previous two years while 59 (39,1%) had not. A comparison of staff categories with attendance at in-service training showed a statistically significant difference (p=0.0072),suggesting that whether one attended in-service training or not depended on the category of staff he/she belongs to. One hundred and twelve (73,3%) of staff knew the correct vaccine storage temperature while 40 (26,7%) did not know. Healthcare providers who do not know the correct vaccine storage temperature may administer vaccines whose potency has been compromised. One-hundred and forty-nine (98,0%) healthcare providers were aware that clients have certain rights collectively referred to as clients’ rights. It is only by knowing the rights of clients that providers would be expected to respect these rights. The clients’ right to which most providers indicated strong agreement that clients are entitled to, was the right to information as indicated by 105 (70,2%) providers while the right to which most providers indicated disagreement was the right to choice of where and when to access services. Fifty-two (34,0%) health care providers felt clients were not entitled to this right.Conclusion. In conclusion, the study conducted a thorough quality assessment of childhood immunisation services in primary health centres in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The findings reveal both strengths and weaknesses in the delivery of immunisation services to children in the region. While there were areas of average performance, such as experienced and trained healthcare workers, there were also areas of concern, such as inadequate cold chain storage and insufficient record-keeping practices.The study recommends that steps be taken to improve the quality of immunisation services in the region, including strengthening the cold chain system, ensuring adequate record-keeping practices, and implementing regular training and supervision of healthcare workers. These measures are crucial to ensuring that more children are vaccinated and protected against vaccine-preventable diseases.Overall, the findings of this study contribute to the body of knowledge on the quality of childhood immunisation services in Nigeria and underscore the importance of continued efforts to improve the delivery of immunisation services to children. It is hoped that the recommendations put forth in this study will inform policy decisions and ultimately lead to better health outcomes for children in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, and beyond

Analysis of physical SAF policy planning and implementation for small and medium industries in Maluku Utara Province

Development related to Small and Medium Industries (SMI) in the regions funded by SAF is an interesting thing to analyze since the planning aspect is the basis for recommendations for improvement from this side in the future. In more depth, the evaluation of planning synchronization needs to see how far the Physical SAF supports priority programs in the regions in a desk analysis of the central-regional planning gap. The purpose of writing an analysis related to the Physical SAF in the SMI sector is to identify the relevance of the Physical SAF menu for regional development and identify a portrait of the integration of this fund with Major Projects and various problems at the site level in North Maluku. The analysis method uses a literature review approach and limited discussions with the local government. Based on this, it recommends: 1) the need for participatory SAF planning that is bottom-up, down to the community level; 2) the need for regional regulations to deal with obstacles to the implementation of the Physical SAF in the SMI field, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic;3) encouraging the acceleration of stipulation of Technical Guidelines for the SAF implementation as a primary reference for mapping the menu of SAF activities to be included in Regional Government Information System and accelerating the implementation of SAF activities by Regional Governments; and 4) strengthening the role of Bappeda as well as being involved in determining Priority Locations (coordination of Ministries/Agencies - Regional Apparatus Organizations and Bappeda).

Leveraging U.S. Climate Assessment Research Gaps to Inform Science Innovation

Abstract Over three decades, the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) has developed an assessment process to integrate, evaluate, and interpret scientific findings on climate change as well as discuss uncertainties. In six USGCRP assessments, authors identified research gaps, or topics that they indicated required more information or study. Examining research gaps on a continual and systematic basis can aid decisions about research projects, programmatic priorities, and strategic scientific visions. The methodology presented here addresses two aims: 1) identify and categorize research gaps within a searchable database and 2) demonstrate use of the database to inform future science planning and assessment. Results include the top 10 database themes, 18 recurring topics across assessments, and a search example for vulnerability gaps. The benefits and limitations of this approach are discussed, along with recommendations to improve future U.S. climate assessment products. Significance Statement The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) regularly assesses the state of the science of climate change and its impacts in national-level reports written by federal scientists, academic researchers, practitioners, and other experts from across the country. These reports are designed to inform policy choices and decision-making by addressing scientific confidence, uncertainty, and research gaps that limit conclusions. We identified research gaps from six climate reports and organized them into a database with over 1000 entries, spanning more than 300 topic areas. Database entries were also sorted into 22 themes for searchability. The database can be used by students, researchers, and program managers to find open research questions and plan future work.

Modification of The Headman Role on Increasing Knowledge and Attitudes About Breastfeeding and Complementary Food in A Remote Island

One of the health program's priorities is to reduce the incidence of stunting. Interventions currently being carried out focus on the first 1000 days of life. However, they have not been successful due to difficult access, educational, socio-economic and cultural factors, such as on the remote island of Enggano. Therefore, cultural-based intervention is needed with local communities as the perpetrators because it is the social capital of development. This study aims to determine the influence of the role of the traditional Paabuki leader and cadres on knowledge and attitudes about breastfeeding and complementary food in children under two years old on Enggano Island, North Bengkulu Regency, in 2021.This research uses a quasi-experimental research design without a control group. The intervention was in the form of modifying the role of traditional Paabuki leaders and cadres in training. Samples were 40 women with children under two years old selected by purposive sampling. The research results on the role of Paabuki and cadres affected knowledge and attitudes about breastfeeding and complementary food with a p-value = 0.00. However, they did not affect breastfeeding behavior and complementary food with a p-value =1. Parity is the most influential factor in knowledge and attitudes about breastfeeding and complementary feeding (p-value =0.01). The role of Paabuki and cadres can be modified as channel media in providing information and advocacy about breastfeeding and complementary food. Service providers must carry out program innovations based on local culture so that the community more easily accepts them.

Active Labour Market Policy in Indonesia: Reviewing the Employment Policies and Programmes’ Preparation

Indonesia experienced a significant increase in the labor force with a percentage reaching 69.30% of the total working age population. This condition is a demographic bonus that must be managed by Indonesia. For this reason, the government is trying to improve the investment climate through the Labor Market Flexicurity approach. However, this approach must be balanced with an Active Labor Market Policy that can boost the competitiveness of the Indonesian workforce. The focus of this research is to describe and analyze the development of Active Labor Market Policy in Indonesia. The approach taken in this research is a qualitative approach using a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of documentation studies, observations, and interviews with 17 people through purposive sampling. The results of the research show that the development of the implementation of the Active Labor Market Policy needs to be supported by a reliable Labor Market Information System. The priority programs for the Active Labor Market in Indonesia include providing government assistance programs, vocational training programs, providing assistance to job seekers to fostering industrial relations and labor inspection. The target group of the Active Labor Market Policy in Indonesia so far has targeted youth, women and persons with disabilities. Meanwhile, the strategy implemented in Indonesia is based on a demand approach, phasing, involving stakeholders and using technology. The implementation of the Active Labor Market Policy in Indonesia still encounters several obstacles, so that it is not enough to say it is optimally active.

Сравнительный анализ систем здравоохранения в Китае и России на фоне социальной трансформации

The article analyzes the healthcare system of China and Russia from the point of view of the functioning of social insurance and the use of medical resources. The aim of the present article – to compare and analyze the values of key indicators in this area in order to guide countries towards strengthening cooperation and ex-change in the field of medicine. The results of the study showed that the concepts of health insurance in China and Russia are fundamentally different due to their focus on different social groups. It was also noted that Chi-na surpasses Russia in a number of indicators (financing, average life expectancy, etc.). The share of public spending on healthcare also exceeds the same indicator in Russia, but when calculated per capita, it does not meet the standards. The PRC has more medical resources than the Russian Federation, but in Russia the health protection of the nation is under the close attention of the government and is expressed in the action of state priority programs “Healthcare” and “Demography”. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that cooperation be-tween China and Russia in the field of healthcare will serve to improve medicine in both countries.

The issue of security in the elections programmes of candidates for the office of President of Ukraine in 2019

The aim of the article is to present the programme priorities in the field of security policy, announced by each candidate running for the office of President of Ukraine in 2019. In addition, it also attempts to show how they intended to: ensure state security, bring the war in the Donbass to an end, restore the territorial integrity – thus, to regain Kyiv’s control over the Donbass and Crimea, as well as where they were going to look for allies capable of providing support to Ukraine on the path to achieving the above-mentioned goals. An analysis of the elections programmes of each candidate will allow us to answer the questions. Attention was paid to the programme demands of those candidates who reeived at least a five per cent support in the presidential elections. Hence, the elections programmes of the participants of the second round of the elections, namely those of Volodymyr Zelensky, Petro Poroshenko, and also Yulia Tymoshenko, Yuriy Boyko, Anatoliy Hrytsenko, Ihor Smeshko as well as Oleh Lyashko, were subjected to analysis.

Evaluation of the Pulmonary Tuberculosis Control Program

Pulmonary Tuberculosis is still a priority health problem in Indonesia, and around 1.5 M people experience TB resistance where the treatment rate is only 38% in 2019 and the global TB treatment rate is only 57% successful, resistant TB costs a lot, is difficult treated so that it becomes a priority for global TB control programs. The high burden of disease and treatment for patients, poor recovery, mortality, and high mortality lead to distress for patients, families, and caregivers. This study aims to determine the success of the program, program achievements include detection rates, conversion rates, cure rates and cross checks, as well as management of human resources and facilities in implementation, as well as obstacles to pulmonary TB disease control programs in Pangkep Regency, the research method used is descriptive to obtain an overview of the P2TB Pulmonary Program in Pangkep Regency. Based on the results of the evaluation of the P2TB program at the community health centers, when viewed from the input aspect, the process is still not in accordance with the applicable requirements and guidelines, the detection of positive smear patients does not reach the target, the cure rate is low below the national target, the error rate is unknown because no cross check is carried out, so it is necessary to have officer training and refreshing courses for laboratory staff, carry out cross checks and cross-program collaboration and PMO guidance, and there is a need for screening activities in areas where there are many sufferers.

Understanding the Implementation of Talent Management Policy in Local Government Case Study in DKI Jakarta Province

Talent management is one of the priority programs to encourage superior civil services with high integrity. However, there are still very few studies explaining how talent management is implemented in local governments. This study aims to provide a quick understanding of the implementation of talent management policy in the DKI Jakarta Provincial government. The research method is applied through a qualitative approach using data from interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), observations, and reviews of documents sourced from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, the State Civil Apparatus Commission, and academics. This study found that DKI Jakarta Province just issued an Enactment of the Governor’s Regulation Number 8 for the Year 2022 concerning Talent Management. Moreover, two policies, namely a decree of the Governor concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Competency Development for Civil Servants through an Integrated/Integrated Learning System Approach; ( Jakarta Corporate University); and a Decree of the Governor concerning the Map of Human Resource Competency Development in the DKI Government Environment in 2021-2022 have strongly supported the development of talent management. In addition, a high commitment of top leaders encourages the implementation of all stage’s implementation of talent management, namely talent acquisition, talent development, and talent retention. However, this study also found that some internal policies were not implemented optimally. This condition is due to a lack of technical guidelines for the implementation, the need for more cooperation with various institutions in talent development, and the need to utilize resources and infrastructure that support the implementation of talent management.

The priority of Islamic bank CSR activity programs is based on maqasid al-shariah in accordance with their respective elements and levels. Conclusion: Islamic banks can run CSR programs according to their priorities and urgency based on maqasid al-shari'ah. This priority framework for Islamic banks' CSR activities can increase public trust and a positive image of Islamic banks. Islamic banks can eliminate the negative stigma that Islamic banks' CSR is only carried out with the motive of economic and corporate interests alone.

Model Order Reduction of Microactuators: Theory and Application

This paper provides an overview of techniques of compact modeling via model order reduction (MOR), emphasizing their application to cooperative microactuators. MOR creates highly efficient yet accurate surrogate models, facilitating design studies, optimization, closed-loop control and analyses of interacting components. This is particularly important for microactuators due to the variety of physical effects employed, their short time constants and the many nonlinear effects. Different approaches for linear, parametric and nonlinear dynamical systems are summarized. Three numerical case studies for selected methods complement the paper. The described case studies emerged from the Kick and Catch research project and within a framework of the German Research Foundation’s Priority Program, Cooperative Multistable Multistage Microactuator Systems (KOMMMA).

Peningkatan Kapasitas Sumber Daya Manusia Melalui Kemampuan Literasi Dan Numerasi Sejak Dini

This service program focuses on the importance of literacy and numeracy in the industrial era 4.0 and the efforts made in Indonesia to improve these skills. Literacy is considered a basic need in meeting the needs of human life and developed countries have recognized the importance of literacy as a human right. However, in Indonesia, students' literacy and numeracy abilities are still lacking and have even decreased in recent years. Factors such as the lack of strengthening literacy, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and sub-optimal distance learning have led to a decline in students' abilities. Therefore, the Indonesian government has set literacy as a priority program and strengthened the role of LP Maarif in developing literacy and numeracy. LP Maarif is trying to provide library facilities, develop an integrated curriculum, and provide training to teachers to become agents of literacy development. Hopefully, this effort can help elementary school students build their intelligence and improve their critical, strategic and solutive thinking skills in facing future challenges.

Awareness of Risk Factors for Breast Cancer among Casablanca Medical Students

Background: Socio-economic burden of breast cancer is substantial in low and middle income countries. Therefore, preventive measures are necessary, including raise of population awareness and education on the risk factors. This study aims to assess the general awareness of cancer among Casablanca medical students, with a focus on risk factors for breast cancer. Methods: A cross sectional study using a questionnaire on risk factors of breast cancer was carried out. Participants were randomly selected using a stratified sampling. Results: A total of 678 students participated in the survey. Just over half of the cases (53.2%) reported knowing breast cancer risk factors with a 95% confidence interval of [49.5%; 57.0%]. The main sources of information regarding their knowledge of breast cancer risk factors reported by students were represented by the faculty and media with a similar proportion of 20.6% of cases. The average number of correct responses was statistically different depending on the students’ level of education and whether they had a family history of cancer. Indeed, the average correct responses increased with the year of study, so the lowest average was noted among first-year students with 11 responses versus 15 correct responses out of 23 among sixth-year students and a degree of significance less than 0,001. Similarly, for those who reported a family history of cancer, their average correct response was 14.4 versus 13.2 for those having no relatives with cancer (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Our medical students’ knowledge on breast cancer risk factors is very weak. These future doctors play an important key role in educating people and raising awareness on breast cancer in our country. Therefore, priority programs and training should be put in place to insure successful and knowledgeable doctors.

Associations between Physical Activity and Health-Related Quality of Life among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study in Urban Greece.

Physical activity is an important factor in achieving healthy aging, offering older persons multiple benefits in terms of maintaining and improving their health and wellbeing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of physical activity on the quality of life of older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2022, using the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A total of 124 people aged 65 and over participated in the survey. The average age of the participants was 71.6 years, and 62.1% were women. Participants showed a moderate quality of life with regard to the physical health dimension (mean score 52.4) and a higher quality of life with regard to the mental health dimension (mean score 63.1) compared to the expected values of the population. Low levels of physical activity were recorded among older adults, reaching a rate of 83.9%. A moderate or high level of physical activity has been found to contribute to a better physical functioning (p = 0.03), vitality (p = 0.02) and general health (p = 0.01). Finally, comorbidity had a negative impact on physical activity (p = 0.03) and quality of life regarding mental and physical health in older adults. The study showed very low levels of physical activity in older Greek adults. The management of this problem, which was intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, should be a high priority in public health programs focusing on healthy aging, as physical activity affects and promotes many of the basic aspects of quality of life.

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis in cultivated soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) using SSR and EST-SSR markers.

Soybean (Glycine max) is an important legume that is used to fulfill the need of protein and oil of large number of population across the world. There are large numbers of soybean germplasm present in the USDA germplasm resources. Finding and understanding genetically diverse germplasm is a top priority for crop improvement programs. The current study used 20 functional EST-SSR and 80 SSR markers to characterize 96 soybean accessions from diverse geographic backgrounds. Ninety-six of the 100 markers were polymorphic, with 262 alleles (average 2.79 per locus). The molecular markers had an average polymorphic information content (PIC) value of 0.44, with 28 markers ≥ 0.50. The average major allele frequency was 0.57. The observed heterozygosity of the population ranged from 0-0.184 (average 0.02), while the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.20-0.73 (average 0.51). The lower value for observed heterozygosity than expected heterozygosity suggests the likelihood of a population structure among the germplasm. The phylogenetic analysis and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) divided the total population into two major groups (G1 and G2), with G1 comprising most of the USA lines and the Australian and Brazilian lines. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis and PCoA divided the USA lines into three major clusters without any specific differentiation, supported by the model-based STRUCTURE analysis. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed 94% variation among individuals in the total population, with 2% among the populations. For the USA lines, 93% of the variation occurred among individuals, with only 2% among lines from different US states. Pairwise population distance indicated more similarity between the lines from continental America and Australia (189.371) than Asia (199.518). Overall, the 96 soybean lines had a high degree of genetic diversity.

Comparative study of arabic learning materials in traditional and modern pondok pesantren in North Sumatera, Indonesia

This study aims to compare the Arabic materials in the traditional Pondok Pesantren Al-Ansor and the Pondok Pesantren Al-Hasyimiyah Darul Ulum in North Sumatera. It is qualitative descriptive and comparative field research. Observation, interviews, and documentation were utilized to collect data for this study. This study's validity is examined using a triangulation of data sources. Data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion are the three phases of the data analysis technique. This study’s data analysis is inductive, with the researcher actively seeking for data, examining, analyzing, interpreting, and deriving conclusions from the observed phenomena. This study indicates that traditional Pondok Pesantren Al-Ansor and Pondok Pesantren Al-Hasyimiyah Darul Ulum Arabic language learning materials have similarities and differences. In the form of qawā’id, the material aspect of anāśir al-lugah is comparable. The distinction is whether the Arabic material is taught through a program or not, and the learning outcomes that result. The Arabic language material on the mufradāt and aṣwāt learning aspects are not explicitly stated in the learning program at Pondok Pesantren Al-Ansor as a traditional pondok pesantren, but the qawaid learning material aspect is the primary focus at Ponpes Al-Ansor. In terms of mufradāt and aṣwāt learning materials, Pondok Pesantren Al-Hasyimiyah produces students with superior kalām and istimā’ skills. The qawā’id material aspect, meanwhile, is not a priority program because learning is limited to what is in the textbook.

Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dalam Rekomendasi Penentuan Prioritas Program Pembangunan Daerah menerapkan Simple Additive Weighting

The government and institutions in an area have developed a program known as the RKPD (Regional Development Work Plan), which is an elaboration of the RPJMD (Regional Medium Term Development Plan). However, the Medan City Regional Development Planning Agency faces several problems in the development stage in the regions, including consideration of priority scales and elements of justice as well as a lack of a decision support system to determine development priority scales. Therefore, the Agency needs an appropriate system to determine development priorities, and one of the systems that can help solve this problem is the Decision Support System (SPK). The method used is SAW which was chosen because it is expected to provide effective results in determining the priority of regional development programs at the Medan City Regional Development Planning Agency. The research resulted that the regional highway development program with a value of 0.77705 has the highest priority to be prioritized for regional development programs at the Medan City Regional Development Planning Agency, because it has the highest ranking when compared to other alternatives.
