BACKGROUND

While high-quality primary health care services can meet 80%-90% of health needs over a person’s lifetime, this potential is severely hindered in many low-resource countries by a constrained health care system. There is a growing consensus that effectively designed, resourced, and managed community health worker programs are a critical component of a well-functioning primary health system, and digital technology is recognized as an important enabler of health systems transformation.

OBJECTIVE

In this implementation report, we describe the design and rollout of Zanzibar’s national, digitally enabled community health program–Jamii ni Afya.

METHODS

Since 2010, D-tree International has partnered with the Ministry of Health Zanzibar to pilot and generate evidence for a digitally enabled community health program, which was formally adopted and scaled nationally by the government in 2018. Community health workers use a mobile app that guides service delivery and data collection for home-based health services, resulting in comprehensive service delivery, access to real-time data, efficient management of resources, and continuous quality improvement.

RESULTS

The Zanzibar government has documented increases in the delivery of health facilities among pregnant women and reductions in stunting among children younger than 5 years since the community health program has scaled. Key success factors included starting with the health challenge and local context rather than the technology, usage of data for decision-making, and extensive collaboration with local and global partners and funders. Lessons learned include the significant time it takes to scale and institutionalize a digital health systems innovation due to the time to generate evidence, change opinions, and build capacity.

CONCLUSIONS

Jamii ni Afya represents one of the world’s first examples of a nationally scaled digitally enabled community health program. This implementation report outlines key successes and lessons learned, which may have applicability to other governments and partners working to sustainably strengthen primary health systems.
The Inclusion House: Lessons Learned During the First Year
Authors: Finn, Ed.D Jane E.
Published: April 2023

The Inclusion House is a unique dorm where nondisabled students training to be leaders in the faith community, live side-by-side with same-aged individuals with intellectual disabilities. After one year, a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted with the nondisabled roommates. Findings showed overall positive feelings involving watching roommates with a disability become more independent, learning to balance roles as a friend vs. helper, and knowledge gleaned about working with these types of individuals as well as their families. These recommendations are essential for improving living conditions at the Inclusion House and the implications of educating future church leaders on how to include people with disabilities and their families in faith communities.

Predicting Single Cell Lag Time and Maximum Specific Growth Rate of Proteus mirabilis using Curve Fitting Machine Learning Algorithm (MLA)
Authors: Ramona Yan , Dharmawan Komang
Published: April 2023

The lack of adequate assessment methods for pathogens especially in food is a critical problem in microbiology. Traditional predictive methods are not able to accurately describe the trend of low-density bacterial growth behavior observed in the laboratory. The purpose of this study was to leverage state-of-the-art of machine learning algorithms (MLA) to develop a predictive model for bacterial growth of Proteus mirabilis after treatment of bay leaf extract. The experimental data are fitted to three models, namely logistic, Gompertz, and Richard models. These models are trained using simulation data and a curve-fitting optimization algorithm in MATLAB called fminsearch is applied to the data to obtain the optimal parameters of the models. The results show that this method provides a breakthrough in bacterial growth modeling. Various forms of mathematical models such as Gompertz, Richard, and others are no longer necessary to model bacterial behavior. Additionally, the generated model can help microbiologists in understanding the growth characteristics of bacteria after disinfectant treatment, and provides a theoretical reference and a method of risk management for better assessment of pathogens in food.

Abstract: The foundation of e-commerce is based on conducting transactions and transferring goods online without the need for physical travel. However, cyber threats can pose a risk when it comes to transferring transactional data. Our primary goal is to develop a system that can protect against such mishaps during the process of transmitting transactional data. Additionally, we aim to implement an automated system that ensures error-free transactions. To achieve these objectives, we will leverage the latest technologies such as blockchain and smart contracts. Blockchain technology provides a decentralized and immutable digital ledger that can securely store and transfer data across a network. E-commerce can use blockchain technology to process transactions safely, securely, and rapidly. By using blockchain technology, we can enable peer-to-peer transaction systems and data encryption, ensuring the safe transfer of sensitive financial information. Moreover, we can use blockchain technology to transfer transactional data securely. A smart contract is a specialized program that functions as an agreement and runs on the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts provide transactional security, and when combined with blockchain technology, they can transform e-commerce. By utilizing blockchain technology to ensure data security and user privacy and smart contracts to maintain the transaction protocol, our proposed system aims to offer a solution for transactional data privacy and transparency. In conclusion, our system will provide a secure and transparent platform for conducting e-commerce transactions. With the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts, we can create a system that ensures safe transfer of data and error-free transactions.

Abstract: The most commonly used fine aggregate across world is river sand. River sand is expensive due to excessive cost of transportation from natural sources. The use of sand in construction activities results in the excessive mining. Due to excessive mining natural resources are getting exhausted results in increase in scour depth and sometimes flood possibility. Thus becoming inevitable to use alternative material in concrete. Also large scale depletion of the source creates environmental problems as environmental transportation and other constraints make the availability and use of river sand less attractive. A substitute or replacement product for concrete industry needs to be found. Granite is an igneous rock which is widely used as construction material in different forms. Granite industries produce lot of dust and waste materials. The wastes from the granite polishing units are being disposed to environment which causes health hazards. Granite fines are used as a filler material in the concrete, replacing the fine aggregate which will help in filling up the pores in the concrete. Filling up of the pores by granite fines to increase the strength of the concrete and also a material which is abundantly to investigate the strength behaviour of concrete with use of granite fines as an additive .In this project an attempt is made experimentally to investigate the Strength and durability behaviour of ordinary and high strength concrete with the use of granite fines as an additive. Concrete is prepared with granite fines as a replacement of fine aggregate in 6 different proportions namely 0%,10%,20%,30%,40%and 50%.To improve the workability of concrete 1% superplasticizer added to ordinary strength concrete. The test results indicate that granite as replacement for fine aggregate with has beneficial effect on the mechanical durability properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength.

A Review on Approval Process and Regulation of Medical Devices as per US FDA and CDSCO
Authors: Pawar Kaustubh Navnath , Gore Rohit Tukaram , Palekar Samiksha Rohidas
Published: April 2023

Regulatory affairs play a significant role in the pharmaceutical industry, it is “the process of gathering, reviewing, and monitoring the existing regulatory environment and creating regulatory plans and gaining a competitive edge for securing regulatory approvals required more than just acquiring facts”. A medical device is a treatment instrument that "does not work on or in the human body in a way that is primarily intended by pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic mechanisms”. In other words, a medical device is essentially any medical product, not a medicine or biological product. By the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) oversees approving drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, monitoring the quality of drugs imported into the nation, and coordinating the efforts of state drug control organizations by offering professional advice to ensure uniformity in the application of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a single agency, oversees the regulation of a trillion dollars’ worth of goods, or about 25 cents of every dollar spent, including 80 percent of the food supply in the US, all medical devices, and prescription drugs, animal products, cosmetics, and even the production of tobacco products. The FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health regulates companies that produce, repackage, re-label, and/or import medical devices sold in the United States (CDRH). Also, CDRH is in charge of overseeing the regulation of lasers, x-ray machines, ultrasound equipment, microwave ovens, and color televisions, among other electronic gadgets that generate radiation for both medical and non-medical purposes. The IMDR, which was published in January 2017 and became effective in January 2018, was produced by the Medical Devices and Diagnostics Division of CDSCO and is a set of structured regulations for medical devices. In February 2020, the "Medical Devices (Amendment) Regulations, 2020" were established, and they became effective in April 2020. The 2020 amendment now includes a new clause called "registration of specific medical equipment."
Cosmetic Surveillance: An update and comprehensive Review
Authors: Dhiman Kritika , Kumar Rajiv
Published: April 2023

Surveillance has recently been expanded to include the safety of herbal and cosmetic products. A new phrase has emerged characterizing industry monitoring known as “Kosmetonadzor” to ensure the safety of cosmetic products. Wigan (1997) was the first in the literature to use the term to refer to the safety management of cosmetic products. It is now recognized as a public health concept worldwide. 

As there is no systematic reporting system, side effects or side effects of cosmetics are relatively insignificant or overlooked. There is a follow-up management system for preparation. In India, market surveillance is usually focused on drug side effects.  As a result, more emphasis has been placed on medical devices, blood products, biologics, natural products, and special diets, and less on related side effects. To sum up, Cosmetology refers to the monitoring of cosmetic products that have recently entered the market.

Conclusions

Cosmetic surveillance is a new approach to regulating the safety of cosmetic products. It is an important component of public health initiatives. As post-sale surveillance of cosmetics becomes more and more common worldwide, malfunctions in these items can be detected and corrected, so safety can be achieved. Physicians Family doctors and general practitioners play an important role in detecting ADRs caused by cosmetic items and, as a result, urge patients to report ADRs.  Raising awareness of this new notion will be an important contribution to global public health. 

In general, the Cosmetovigilance system can avoid both significant and minor adverse effects.  Because the notification procedure is critical to the system, healthcare workers must be taught and supported as part of the Cosmetovigilance feedback system.  Some regulation modifications are required to keep up with Turkey's developing cosmetics business.

In general, cosmetic monitoring systems can prevent both serious and minor side effects. As the reporting process is a key element of the system, medical professionals must be educated and supported in terms of cosmetic oversight within the feedback system. Some regulatory updates are needed to keep pace with the changing Turkish cosmetics market.

Published: April 2023

En esta nota literaria, centrada en la obra El vado de la noche. Novela de la raza (1954) de Lautaro Yankas, escrita a mediados del siglo XX, se pretende demostrar que la ficción literaria visualiza y adelanta acciones y sucesos sociales, que ocurrirán poste-riormente, como acontece actualmente con los hechos de violencia ligados al conflicto mapuche en la denominada “Zona Roja de la Araucanía”. En otras palabras, este artículo aborda una temática de plena actualidad y permanente discusión pública, lo que constituye un acierto en la reflexión y preocupación de la revista Horizontes Empresariales, con nue-vas lecturas y análisis del texto literario en estudio. En ese contexto, coincido con el plan-teamiento de Carlos Fuentes, quien señala: “El arte da vida a lo que la historia ha asesi-nado. El arte da voz a lo que la historia ha negado, silenciado o perseguido. El arte rescata la verdad de las mentiras de la historia” (1976, p. 82).

Privacy and correctness trade-offs for information-theoretically secure quantum homomorphic encryption
Authors: Hu Yanglin , Ouyang Yingkai , Tomamichel Marco
Published: April 2023

Quantum homomorphic encryption, which allows computation by a server directly on encrypted data, is a fundamental primitive out of which more complex quantum cryptography protocols can be built. For such constructions to be possible, quantum homomorphic encryption must satisfy two privacy properties: data privacy which ensures that the input data is private from the server, and circuit privacy which ensures that the ciphertext after the computation does not reveal any additional information about the circuit used to perform it, beyond the output of the computation itself. While circuit privacy is well-studied in classical cryptography and many homomorphic encryption schemes can be equipped with it, its quantum analogue has received little attention. Here we establish a definition of circuit privacy for quantum homomorphic encryption with information-theoretic security. Furthermore, we reduce quantum oblivious transfer to quantum homomorphic encryption. By using this reduction, our work unravels fundamental trade-offs between circuit privacy, data privacy and correctness for a broad family of quantum homomorphic encryption protocols, including schemes that allow only the computation of Clifford circuits.
Importance sampling for stochastic quantum simulations
Authors: Kiss Oriel , Grossi Michele , Roggero Alessandro
Published: April 2023

Simulating many-body quantum systems is a promising task for quantum computers. However, the depth of most algorithms, such as product formulas, scales with the number of terms in the Hamiltonian, and can therefore be challenging to implement on near-term, as well as early fault-tolerant quantum devices. An efficient solution is given by the stochastic compilation protocol known as qDrift, which builds random product formulas by sampling from the Hamiltonian according to the coefficients. In this work, we unify the qDrift protocol with importance sampling, allowing us to sample from arbitrary probability distributions, while controlling both the bias, as well as the statistical fluctuations. We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage.
Moreover, we incorporate recent work on composite channel and compute rigorous bounds on the bias and variance, showing how to choose the number of samples, experiments, and time steps for a given target accuracy. These results lead to a more efficient implementation of the qDrift protocol, both with and without the use of composite channels. Theoretical results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.
investigation into the relationship between diversity and compliance in Irish organisations
Authors: Hunter Della
Published: April 2023

The aim of this research was to investigate the perceptions of senior compliance professionals in Irish organisations regarding potential connections between the area of diversity and compliance. The research followed a qualitative design to address the research questions and to gather and summarise the data. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather primary data from senior compliance professionals based in five organisations spanning the public sector and the financial services sector. The Central Bank of Ireland (‘Central Bank’) report Behaviour and Culture of the Irish Retail Banks (2018a) was reviewed alongside Irish and UK Corporate Governance Codes and Corporate Governance Reviews in the UK. The Central Bank in their reviews of retail banking following the financial crises of 2007 - 2008, have suggested that increasing diversity on boards is related to an improvement in culture and behaviours. The variables in the research are diversity in the form of gender and compliance in public sector organisations as opposed to private financial services companies. The following themes emerged from the results found. Diversity is not a topic in Compliance Programmes and companies are largely not making the link with improvements in diversity having a positive effect on compliance. However, in assessing future risks, financial services companies are aware of the changing regulatory environment and are taking account of diversity in the Compliance Programmes. Analysis of the interviews suggested that a collaborative type of leadership model is viewed as conducive to an inclusive culture where diversity can be embedded. The future focus now needs to move from not alone having diversity in the workplace but to the proactive inclusion of those diverse people in the organisation.

Esta pesquisa apresenta a análise de textos de cinco edições da revista digital IPECrianças, produzidas por alunos da Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), entre os anos de 2013 e 2018. O objetivo desta investigação é compreender como a divulgação científica é evidenciada nessa revista virtual. Para tal, foram analisadas as características que permeiam os TDC voltados para o público infantil, as “Imagens” de cientista transmitidas pela revista e como as relações Ciência – Tecnologia – Sociedade (CTS) são contempladas pelas publicações. De cerca de oitenta textos, foram selecionados vinte como corpus de análise.  Esses foram analisados a partir da Análise de Conteúdo, proposta por Bardin (1977). É predominante nos TDC a aplicação do conhecimento científico-tecnológico no cotidiano, a discussão de impactos de ciência e tecnologia, bem como a descrição de informações científicas com base em diferentes áreas da ciência, de forma interdisciplinar. Neste sentido, considera-se que os textos produzidos conseguem se aproximar do universo lúdico, transmitir informações científicas de qualidade e promover reflexões sobre a Ciência no cotidiano e seus impactos, sendo necessário apenas o aprimoramento de algumas discussões a respeito das relações entre ciência, tecnologia e sociedade.
“Aren’t We All Complicit?”: A Commentary on Multiple Faces of Race and Language in English Language Education
Authors: Le Ha Phan
Published: April 2023

This paper reviews recent work on race and language ideologies in Asia, aiming to a more complex understanding on the subject that avoids determinism and dichotomous thinking. The first part of the paper discusses current work on English language teaching in Japan, and concludes that greater emphasis on teacher agency is needed. The second part offers ethnographic vignettes of scenarios in which race plays sometimes a surprising role in shaping interactions and exclusions. These scenarios focus on the implications of the scholars’s commitement to social justice in ideological and institutional structures in which prejudice is reproduced and relayed in situations that involve multiple Asian identities and positionalities.

Red tide dataset in the waters around the Korean Peninsula
Authors: Shin Jisun , Kim Euihyun , Kim Keunyong , Ryu Joo-Hyung
Published: April 2023

Red tide blooms are increasing worldwide. Since 1995, Margalefidium polykrikoides blooms have occurred frequently in the waters around the Korean Peninsula. These blooms generally appear first on the South Sea of Korea in summer. When they occur on a large scale, they extend to the East Sea of Korea and the West Sea of Korea, causing great damage to fisheries and marine ecosystems. Harmless red tide can also adversely affect the environment of the waters by causing oxygen depletion in waters when occurring at high density. Currently, the National Institute of Fisheries Science (NIFS) is providing the daily red tide report based on M. polykrikoides red tide species. This report contains red tide species, location, and cell abundance information, but is limited to use as cell abundance data based on exact location. In addition, the waters around the Korean peninsula have different characteristics, so that the optical characteristics and seawater environment are different for each water. In the East Sea in Aug. 2013, the West Sea in Aug. 2016, the South Sea in Aug. 2018, and the South Sea in Aug. and Sep. 2019, during red tide season, dataset were obtained for red tide cell abundance, spectrum, chlorophyll concentration, and suspended particulate matter concentration. Noctiluca scintillans species were observed in the field survey conducted in 2016, and M. polykrikoides was mainly found in the other field surveys. Location-based red tide cell abundance data and seawater environment information obtained during red tide occurrence will be useful data for the construction of red tide warning system to reduce damage due to red tide blooms.
A Proposal for a Standardized Fault Description Format to Study Active Intraplate Tectonics in the Korean Peninsula
Authors: Cheon Youngbeom , Choi Jin-Hyuck , Lee Seung Ryeol
Published: April 2023

Intraplate faulting and the resultant earthquakes are not well understood because of their complex distribution, long period of seismic recurrence, and poor exposure of surface rupture. Pre-existing weaknesses should be studied to understand intraplate faulting and earthquakes. We are developing a long-term project to understand Korean-type intraplate fault behavior and recurrence intervals. As the first step, we will establish an integrated system for production, analysis, and management of fault data related to active crustal deformation. Here we propose a new format for fault data description and management.

Background: In Northern hemisphere, climate change has shifted the habitats of many species including butterflies into the northern regions. Many researchers in Europe and North America have reported this type of northward shift of butterflies. Thus, we collected the species occurrence data of southern butterflies and presented in this study for understanding the impact of climate change on the southern butterflies in the future.
New information: This study presents the 456 occurrence data of nine southern butterflies under five families in Korea. These data were selected from the 3rd National Ecosystem Survey (NES) conducted by National Institute of Environment Research (NIER) in Korea. Those will be a part of input data for MOTIVE-Ecosystem model, an integrative model to understand the influence of climate change and land cover change on the habitat suitability of sensitive, native and invasive species. These data will be important to the researchers and conservation agencies for understanding the current conditions of southern butterflies and developing conservation policy.

Authors: Yeom JongMin , Lee Hongtak
Published: April 2023

The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) estimated solar renewable energy maps for the Korean Peninsula using the Cheonian geostationary orbiting satellite (COMS: Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite). In the case of photovoltaic renewable energy, it is not only used as input data for installation of solar thermal plants and solar panel power plants to acquire renewable energy, but also for various fields such as agriculture, weather, climate change, energy and ecology. The spatial resolution of the solar renewable energy map is 4 km, and there are two temporal resolutions each month and yearly. The spatial range of the observation area was performed for the latitude 33 ° N ~ 42 ° N and the longitude 122 ° E ~ 131 ° E as shown in Fig. 1. In this solar renewable energy map, it was calculated by applying geostationary orbiting satellites based on the physical model. The physical model uses spectral information from COMS satellite to reflect the effects of aerosols, water vapor, and ozone on the scattering and absorption of atmospheric gases when solar radiation passing the atmosphere. Therefore, the amount of incident solar radiation attenuation for each gas was simulated by parameterization of physical model. In addition, in order to consider the biggest factor in cloud attenuation effect, our algorithm applies cloud attenuation factor for cloud top reflectance and cloud penetration according pass length. Finally, the photovoltaic renewable energy map was analyzed by comparing with the ground pyranometer data of the weather stations located in South Korea.

Gomso bay tidal flat is influenced by human activity, such as Saemangeum dyke construction, Southwest sea offshore wind power plant construction, and reclamation. To observe continuous change of tidal flat topography, topographic change observation was carried out from Oct. 1991 to Oct. 2016. Gomso bay is located between latitude 35.5°N to 35.6°N and longitude 124.4°E to 126.7°E and elevation is measured at three transect located at tidal flat of outer bay, middle bay, and inner bay, respectively. RTK-GPS (Real time kinetic global positioning system) and sedimentation plate are used to measure elevation change of each transect. Line KM, which is located at outer bay tidal flat nearby Mandol-ri, has approximately 2 km distance from shoreline to lower intertidal zone and elevation is measured at 22 stations with RTK-GPS and sedimentation rate is measured at 10 stations with sedimentation plate. Line KH, which is located at middle bay tidal flat nearby Hajeon-ri, has approximately 5 km distance, and 50 stations and 20 stations are measured by RTK-GPS and sedimentation plate. Line KB, which has 1 km distance, approximately, and 10 stations and 9 stations are measured by RTK-GPS and sedimentation plate. Long term elevation change data is expected to predict long term elevation measurement data.

Atmospheric and Surface Seawater CO2 Measurements on R/V ISABU in the Western North Pacific in the Summer of 2018
Authors: Lee Seon-Eun , Cho Sosul
Published: April 2023

The ocean takes up approximately 24% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere in a year. The oceanic CO2 uptake shows regional and seasonal differences depending on physical and chemical characteristics of seawater and biological activities (such as CO2 fixation). In the tropical Western North Pacific, the surface water temperature is high, the supply of deep water is limited, and tropical cyclones usually pass in summer. We investigated atmospheric and sea surface CO2 concentrations in this area using the continuous underway pCO2 measuring system equipped on the Research Vessel ISABU of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology for about 21 days from August 29 to September 19, 2018. During the cruise, 9,367 CO2 data were obtained from this measuring system with temperature, salinity, and GPS information. Higher CO2 concentrations of the surface seawater than those of the atmosphere were observed in the areas of 22°N-23.5°N and 29°N-35°N where CO2 was emitted into the atmosphere, while most of the areas between 17.5°N and 20.5°N were sinks for the atmospheric CO2. This dataset can be used for future research on the distribution of partial pressure of carbon dioxide over the global ocean surface.

Araştırmada yöntem olarak, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden, olgu bilim (fenomenoloji) deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu oluşturulurken, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kartopu örnekleme kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, ilgili alan yazın taranarak geliştirilen ve uzman görüşü alınarak düzenlenen online görüşmeler için kullanılan açık uçlu ve yarı yapılandırılmış sorulardan yararlanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri online görüşme için gönüllü olan 25 ilkokul öğretmeninden elde edilmiştir. Çatışma nedenlerine ilişkin verilen yanıtların yapısal faktörler, kişisel faktörler ve diğer alt temaları altında değerlendirildiği ifade edilebilir. Yöneticilerin uyguladıkları çatışma çözme stratejilerine ilişkin verilen yanıtların; kaçınma, hükmetme, tümleştirme, ödün verme ve uzlaşma alt temaları altında yer aldığı, yöneticilerin genellikle kaçınma ve hükmetme yöntemlerini uyguladıkları, bu durumda ise var olan çatışmanın giderilmediği gibi olası çatışma durumlarına zemin hazırlandığı öğretmenler tarafından belirtilmiştir. Öğretmenler, çatışmaların genellikle kurumsal etkilere sebebiyet verdiği yorumunda bulunmuşlardır. Bu bulgulardan yola çıkılarak, ilkokul yöneticilerinin çatışma çözme stratejilerini daha nitelikli ve etkin bir şekilde uygulayarak olumlu sonuçlar alması açısından; etkili iletişim yöntemlerinden yararlanmaları ve kendilerini geliştirmeye yönelik hizmet içi eğitimler almaları önerilebilir.
