The purpose of the article is to show how computer aided qualitative data analysis tools can be utilized in research practice. Based on the example of a particular research project, I make an attempt to describe how studies are performed pursuant to the procedures of the grounded theory methodology, using NVivo software. This is a presentation of a workshop of a qualitative researcher who uses computer software to aid the research process on a daily basis. At the same time, I stress the existing improvements, but also the consequences and potential difficulties related to the application of computer software in qualitative research. The article is of a review and educational character, and it is intended to familiarize the reader with the possibilities of a tool belonging to CAQDAS and its real application in carrying out a research project based on a selected research method.
Is maternal smoking harmful to the physical growth of offspring at early childhood?
Authors: Kaczmarek Maria , Młyńska Dorota
Published: March 2022

The effect of maternal smoking on birth weight of their babies, the effects of smoking during lactation and in the post-weaning period on growth in height and weight of children up to the age of 7 years were investigated. The sample consisted of 1511 children (778 boys and 733 girls) examined at two follow-up studies in May and December 1997. Retrospective data on birth-weight, height and weight up to the present investigation were available from the child’s health record book. The results of the investigation revealed more frequent occurrence of lower birth-weight among children born to mothers smoking during pregnancy than among those born to non-smokers. Similar results were also gained for children in the pre-school period.

Macro and Micro-anatomy of Tokay Gecko’s Reproduction Organs and Growth of External Body in Support on Reproduction Activities (Squamata: Gekkonidae: Gekko gecko)
Authors: Kurniati Hellen , Phadmacanty Ni Luh Putu Rischa
Published: March 2022

Tokay gecko, Gekko gecko is an oviparous lizard that is distributed very widely in tropical Asia. The sexual maturity stage of tokay gecko does not have seasonal reproductive activity; they reproduce along the year. The study on the reproduction organ and growth of external morphology of tokay gecko is the first contribution to further scientific information. Gonadal micro-anatomy that were shown by histology and macro-anatomy to include the sex accessories could be demonstrated in this lizard as a criteria for the reproductive activity of urogenital organs. Males and females tokay gecko have simple urogenital track systems and also the males have simple hemipenis morphology. Testes position inside the male body is not symmetric, in the right testis is always in a higher position than left testis. Based on analysis of the measurement of the posterior part of the body, the width of cloaca, width of base tail and length of hind limb increase asymptotic growth on snout to vent length (SVL) SVL?130 mm for females, and SVL?150 mm for males. Asymptotic growth in the posterior part of the male and female body is a form of co-evolution, besides the male urogenital organs and the female reproductive system which also support co-evolution in the reproductive organs.
Archeologia antropocenu i cyfrowe krajobrazy
Authors: Stobiecka Monika
Published: March 2022

Archaeology of the Anthropocene and digital landscapesThe article presents debates about the Anthropocene that attracted archaeologists. So-called archaeology of the Anthropocene stimulates reflections about the use of concept of Anthropocene as an analytical category in heritage studies. Anthropocene is understood here as a conceptual platform that allows to redefine methods used in archaeology and its research goals. The idea of destruction, inherited in the understanding of a discipline of archaeology as well as of the Anthropocene, directs considerations toward the digital turn in archaeology. The article analyzes selected processes that emerge from digital turn, such as visualization of archaeological knowledge, cyber-archaeology and musealization of archaeological sites. The common ground for mentioned above practices is formed by a desire to escape this all-embracing destruction.

Klimat humanistyki. Pojęcie gatunku wobec nauk o duchu
Authors: Rozwadowski Łukasz
Published: March 2022

The climate of humanities:Human species and the GeisteswissenschaftenDipesh Chakrabarty in the article The Climate of History: Four Thesis claims that in the era of the Anthropocene human symbolic creations, including institutions and economic systems, have to be interpreted in relation to natural history if their impact on climate changes is to be understandable. The category of species could be helpful, though it overstrains human capacity for self-understanding. Consequently, the distinction between natural history and human history collapses. Referring to works by E. Husserl, I introduce a different distinction. History of institutions and natural history belongs to objective natural science. What really cannot be brought together with that kind of discipline of history is self-understanding, „the science of the spirit” — humanities. I point out the crisis of thinking subjectivity, destructive for humanities, giving an example of the war on gender, where conservatives defend religious norms with quasi-natural science arguments. Using works by G. Agamben and M. Henry, I phenomenologically elucidate the notion of „life” as the radical im­manence. Life explodes all taxonomical frames in which it could be included and opens up a field of action for humanities. Only humanities focusing on subjectivity could ask about presently living on the Earth people’s strength to face the challenges of the Anthropocene.
Bruno Latour, czyli teoria miłości-sieci. Szkic z antropologii nauki
Authors: Stoczkowski Wiktor
Published: March 2022

Bruno Latour, or love-network theory: An essay in the anthropology of knowledge Bruno Latour is one of the most influential social science theoreticians today. Yet even his admirers admit they are at a loss when trying to grasp the guiding principles of Latourian thought. Indeed, one can’t help wondering if there is anything in common between the ethnographic observation of an endocrinology laboratory, the analysis of Charles Péguy’s writing style, the anthropological criticism of Modernism, an apocalyptic discourse on Anthropocene, the semiotic study of religious speech, the Actor-Network Theory, and philosophical inquiry into plurality of modes of existence. Latour stresses that his works are part of a “great hidden project”, although he does not bother to explain of what this project consists. In this paper, I attempt to throw light on the riddle of Latour’s “hidden project” and to figure out its meaning. My analysis is premised on the hypothesis that Latour’s system should be interpreted as a form of worldview, similar to what anthropologists used to call cosmologies when studying societies outside the Western world. Like most worldviews in the European tradition, the Latourian cosmology is rooted in the question of evil and salvation. This allows us to perceive the unity of the Latourian system, which aims at transforming the European civilization, including a new reformation of the Christian religion. Latour promises to free us from the errors of Modernism and, at the same time, to renew our conception of ontology, science, religion, politics, ecology and ethics.
Archiwa antropocenu. Mockument przyrodniczy i dekolonizacja natury
Authors: Borowski Mateusz
Published: March 2022

The archives of the Anthropocene: Wildlife mockumentary and decolonisation of natureThe present article is set in the context of the discussion about the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch of Earth and the period of human dominance over nature. This debate is focused mainly on the relationships between scientific discoveries and politics. However, critics of the Anthropocene have pointed out the era of unprecedented exploitation of natural resources is accompanied by such forms of representing nature in scholarly discourse and popular culture which sanction the human dominance on Earth. In this context the text concentrates on wildlife documentary as one of the typical representational forms of the Anthropocene. However, the main thematic focus is on critical and parodic representations of documentary discourse, gathered under umbrella term ‘mockumentary’. Such parodic elements can be identified already in a canonical mockumentary The Falls dir. P. Greenaway, 1980, which subversively quotes the methods of archiving natural anomalies after an ecological catastrophe. However, the latter part of the article is devoted to those films which manifestly depart from anthropocentric perspective. Their critical potential results from the dismantling of traditional conventions of representing nature, in order to introduce other, non-human points of view. In this context the text offers a comparative analysis of two thematically and formally linked mockumentaries Farce of the Penguins and Surf’s Up, both 2007 which refer to a renowned French wildlife documentary March of the Penguins 2005. The comparison demonstrates the possible scope of the critique of the Anthropocene in popular culture.
Uwagi na temat charakteru prawnego dyrektywy wymiaru kary za ciąg przestępstw. Część I
Authors: Kokot Rajnhardt
Published: March 2022

The remarks on the legal character of the directive of the punishment for the series of crimesThe article considers the problem of punishment for the series of crimes. It raises the legal character of the rule of tightening the criminal responsibility as a consequence of committing crimes remaining in a confluence of events connected with the buckle of continuity. The main doubt accompanying such evaluation is connected with the answer to the question if the legal effects within the scope of punishment resulting from the art. 91 § 1 of the Penal Code express ordinary or extraordinary punishment. The dispute about the legal nature of the consequences resulting from that regulation has not only the theoretical-legal dimension. Accepting one of those options causes far-reaching legal consequences within the sphere of the application of the law practice. It decides about the scope of the legal responsibility and determines the relations with other statutory premises that modify its limits. In this context there are also the remarks considering the conditions of accepting the set of principles, resulting from art. 57 of the Penal Code, reforming those limits with the rule of punishment for the series of crimes. The analysis taken in the elaboration takes up the problem of the punishment for the continuous act defined in art. 12 of the Penal Code. Taking into consideration that this institution derives from the same, as the series of crimes, structure of the continuous act of crime that was in the Penal Code from 1969 the basis of the extraordinary tightening the punishment, there comes the question, whether resigning from modifying the principles of legal responsibility for the continuous act of crime can lead to an impression of the dissymmetry of penalty of both structures is the reasonable and rational solution.
Zasada domniemania niewinności — próba spojrzenia materialnoprawnego
Authors: Lipiński Konrad
Published: March 2022

The perspective of substantial criminal law on presumption of innocenceThe article concerns the relationship between presumption of innocence and elements of the dogmatic structure of crime, particularly guilt. It appears that the presumption of innocence has nothing to do with guilt conceived as personalized blame, and it is doubtful to what extent — if at all — it extends to other elements of criminal act. The presumption of innocence seems to be domain of facts, not necessarily law.
The problem of women’s crime. Selected tendencies
Authors: Brzezińska Joanna
Published: March 2022

The objective of this article was to indicate basic tendencies, currently characteristic for women’s crime in Poland. Based on the presented statistical data it has been found that adefinite growth in criminal offences with elements of aggression is currently being recorded and deviant behaviours are not only the domain of mature women but they also occur among young female perpetrators. Moreover, the claim has been challenged stating that women commit criminal acts only against their close relatives in the family environ­ment as currently the prevailing prohibited acts committed by women in Poland include: fights and beating, offences against property, the crime of extortion robbery, theft and extortion as well as severe health injury and murder. It should be highlighted that the only female crime, namely, infanticide, takes amarginal dimension.
The AKT Pathway and Satellite Cell Activation in Skeletal Muscle Mass Regulation

Highlight:AKT or protein kinase B increase protein synthesis and control the degradation of proteins. Satellite cells was provided remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle.Stimulation of protein synthesis is effective therapy to maintain muscle mass, prevent muscle wasting to reduce risk sarcopenia and improve quality of life in the elderly.Abstract:Muscles have an important role as a regulator of glucose and triglyceride metabolism. Some researches show the correlation between skeletal muscle mass and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. Skeletal muscle mass decrease occurs due to chronic illness or physiological process of aging, thus increasing the risk of metabolic diseases as well as motion difficulty in the elderly. Skeletal muscle mass depends on balanced protein synthesis and degradation, controlled through a variety of signal transduction pathways including the AKT. AKT or protein kinase B increases protein synthesis through the mTOR and GSK3β and controls the degradation of proteins through FoxO transcription factors. Another factor that has an alleged role in the regulation of skeletal muscle is the satellite cells which provide remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle. A comprehensive understanding of the biomolecular mechanism of muscle mass regulation is important to develop effective treatment or prevention of muscle atrophy in many cases, either caused by pathological conditions, such as chronic diseases, or the process of aging.

Highlight:Profile of skin biopsy results which carried out the anatomical pathology examination was reviewed.The highest skin biopsy disease group case are erythropapulosquamous, infection, skin tumor, vesiculobullous, connective tissue disease, pigmentation disorders, and vasculitis Abstract:Skin biopsy is an important tool used by dermatologists in diagnostic determination. The correlation between clinical and histological features is needed in understanding pathogenesis and formulating the diagnosis of a skin disease with a greatly varied spectrum of histopathological results, while the observable clinical symptoms are highly limited. Skin diseases are still a serious problem worldwide, especially in Indonesia. Based on the Indonesian Health Profile in 2010, skin diseases ranked third out of 10 most diseases in outpatients in hospitals throughout Indonesia. This study was a review of the profile of skin biopsy results in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia from 1 July 2014 to 31 July 2019, which were subjected to anatomic pathology examination. This study was an observational descriptive study using secondary data sources from the medical records at the Communication and Information Technology Installation (ICT) of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. Based on data searches, the total number of biopsy examinations performed was 1,368 cases. There were more female patients (50.3%) than males (49.7%). The most common skin disorder found was erythropapulosquamous disorder (30%), followed by infection (18%). Other cases consisted of skin tumor (15%), vesiculobullous (13%), connective tissue disease (7%), pigmentation disorders (5%), and vasculitis (5%). Diseases that could not be classified into 7 groups of the biopsy criteria were grouped separately in other diseases (7%).

Published: March 2022

Highlight:The gold standard therapy of hypospadias is reconstructive surgery.Glans diameter and penile length are factors influencing urethroplasty outcomes.Many studies are being conducted to investigate various methods of increasing the size and diameter of the penis prior to the operation in order to reduce complications. Preoperative testosterone hormonal therapy is able to reduce overall complication and urethrocutaneous fistula in hypospadias patient undergoing urethroplasty.Abstract:The gold standard of treatment for hypospadias patients is reconstructive surgery. The result and post-operative complication of urethroplasty were affected by glans diameter and penile length. Pre-operative testosterone administration, both parenterally or topically, has become one of the main interests to increase the size and diameter of penis to minimize post-operative complications. However, there has not been enough evidence to justify this recommendation. Therefore, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of pre-operative testosterone to prevent postoperative complications after urethroplasty in hypospadias patients. Online databases of Medline, Scopus and Embase were searched until October 2021 to identify RCT studies evaluating the effect of testosterone hormone therapy in reducing post-operative complication on hypospadias patient undergoing urethroplasty. Data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. A total of 4 RCTs were included in the analysis of this study with the total of 211 patients. Pre-operative testosterone hormonal therapy significantly reduced the overall complications group (OR=0.17; 95% CI=0.04, 0.77; p=0.02), post-operative urethrocutaneous fistula (OR=0.4, 95% CI=0.19, 0.83, p=0.01). Finally, there was no significant effect on the incidence of dehiscence and meatal stenosis with OR of 0.59, 95% CI=0.23, 1.54, p = 0.28, and 0.277; 95% CI=0.04, 1.65; p=0.16, respectively. Pre-operative testosterone hormonal therapy could reduce overall complication and urethrocutaneous fistula in hypospadias patients undergoing urethroplasty.

Published: March 2022

The proboscis monkey's habitat is a mangrove area dominated by rambai (Sonneratia caseolaris) as their main food source. In order to suppress the rate of decline in the proboscis monkey population due to habitat loss, it is necessary to restore proboscis monkey habitat by planting rambai mangroves in their natural habitat areas, such as Curiak Island, to increase the carrying capacity of feed. So far, the rambai tree planting activity on Curiak Island is still being carried out on a self-taught basis by partners. So, there are still obstacles such as the low survival rate of seedlings, slow growth rates, challenges in transferring seedlings to planting sites, and pests and plant diseases that interfere with the growth of rambai mangroves. In this program, it has been conducted the introduction of Composter as a tool for processing organic waste into fertilizer to assist the seedling process, so that the survival of the seeds increases. Partners are also given training and counseling on the Rambai Mangrove Restoration technique with assistance starting from seed selection, transportation of seeds to planting sites, planting, and maintenance. A total of 2 composter barrels and 100 rambai mangrove seedlings have been planted with partners on Curiak Island. After this program, partners are judged to have been able to absorb the science and technology transferred by the team with an in the success of planting rambai mangroves at the planting location, Curiak Island. In future, partners are expected to independently carry out a sustainable rambai planting program so that efforts to restore proboscis monkey habitat and conserve river ecosystems can be realized.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification in tumor immunity
Authors: Zheng Siyi , Han Hui , Lin Shuibin
Published: March 2022

Growing evidence supports that cancer progression is closely associated with the tumor microenvironment and immune evasion. Importantly, recent studies have revealed the crucial roles of epigenetic regulators in shaping the tumor microenvironment and restoring immune recognition. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, the most prevalent epigenetic modification of mammalian mRNAs, has essential functions in regulating the processing and metabolism of its targeted RNAs, and therefore affects various biological processes including tumorigenesis and progression. Recent studies have demonstrated the critical functions and molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal m6A modification in the regulation of tumor immunity. In this review, we summarize recent research progress in the potential roles of m6A modification in tumor immunoregulation, with a special focus on the anti-tumor processes of immune cells and involvement in immune-associated molecules and pathways. Furthermore, we review current knowledge regarding the close correlation between m6A-related risk signatures and the tumor immune microenvironment landscape, and we discuss the prognostic value and therapeutic efficacy of m6A regulators in a variety of cancer types.

Brucellosis infection induces fever, chills, sweats, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, anorexia, fa-tigue, and mood disorders. In mice, it causes a rise in IL-6, TNF-, and IFN-; and reduces sero-tonin and dopamine levels in hippocampus. There is loss in muscle strength and equilibrium and increased anxiety and hopelessness. Imipramine (ImiP) is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases the capacity of macrophages to destroy intracellular microorganisms in vivo. The effect of ImiP was evaluated in Balb/c mice infected with Brucella abortus 2308. Serum levels were determined in IFN-, IL-6, TNF-, IL-12, MCP-1, and IL-10 by FACS; the bacterial count in the spleen, by CFU; the serotonin concentration in the hippocampus, by HPLC; and strength, equilibrium, and mood by behavioral tests. Our results showed that infected vs. control mice had a significant rise in lev-els of IFN-, IL-6, TNF-, and IL-12 with a low IFN-/IL-6 ratio, elevated bacterial-counts, alter-ations in serotonin concentration at hippocampus, and decreased muscular strength, equilibrium, and mood. Infected mice treated with ImiP vs. infected mice showed: 1) improved mood; 2) in-creased hippocampal serotonin availability, splenic dendritic cells, and macrophage phagocytic activity; and 3) upturn inflammation and reduced CFU ability. Our results support that ImiP fa-vors positive outcomes in subjects handling Brucella infections likely by improving psychoim-mune resilience.

Chemically modified forms of tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac), an L-thyroxine derivative, have been shown to exert their anticancer activity at plasma membrane integrin αvβ3 of tumor cells. Via a specific hormone receptor on the integrin, tetrac-based therapeutic agents modulate expression of genes relevant to cancer cell proliferation, survival and energy metabolism. P-bi-TAT, a novel bivalent tetrac-containing synthetic compound has anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo against Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) and other types of human cancers. In the current study, microarray analysis was carried out on a primary culture of human GBM cells exposed to P-bi-TAT (10-6 tetrac equivalent) for 24 h. P-bi-TAT significantly affected expression of a large panel of genes implicated in cancer cell stemness, growth, survival, and angiogenesis. Recent interest elsewhere in ATP synthase as a target in GBM cells caused us to focus attention on expression of genes involved in energy metabolism. Significantly downregulated transcripts included multiple energy metabolism-related genes: electron transport chain genes ATP5A1 (ATP synthase 1), ATP51, ATP5G2, COX6B1 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6B1), NDUFA8 (NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] FA8), NDUFV2I and other NDUF genes. The NDUF and ATP genes are also relevant to control of oxidative phosphorylation and transcription. Qualitatively similar actions of P-bi-TAT on expression of energy metabolism-linked genes were also detected in established human GBM and pancreatic cancer cell lines. In conclusion, acting at αvβ3 integrin, P-bi-TAT caused downregulation in human cancer cells of expression of a large number of genes involved in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. These observations suggest that cell surface thyroid hormone receptors on αvβ3 regulate expression of genes relevant to tumor cell stemness and energy metabolism.

Two ANN approaches are investigated to design accurate and fast power factor correction (PFC) controller. First approach uses simple ANN (SANNA). Second approach uses cascaded ANN (CANNA). ANN regression, performance and the calculated error for both approaches are investigated to select between the two approaches. CANNA is selected as a better solution and it used to build the ANN PFFC controller using database, generated by MATLAB-Simulink, for standard three low voltage levels (240V, 220V and 110V). Nine test cases are carried out to validate the performance of proposed ANN PFC controller with a network has variable loads and low power factor (0.6 approximately). In order to extend the use of the controller to other voltage levels not included in the training process of the cascaded ANN, only the SVC is resized. Another nine cases are carried out with the same loads using the same ANN controller, as it is, to test its performance with the extended voltage level range (415V, 230V and 120V). The results show accurate and fast response in all test cases.

Land degradation in the rice field is caused by the continuous use of synthetic agrochemicals and low input of organic fertilizers. Assistance and training for farmers are needed to utilize organic fertilizers as additional inputs in cultivation practices. Liquid organic fertilizer (LOB) can be a solution because the making process and application are easier. This dissemination aims to provide knowledge and practice of making LOB from local biological resources such as bamboo roots. The target of the activity are farmers in Srigading, Labuhan Maringgai, East Lampung. The activity was carried out using explanation method and the practice of making LOB from bamboo roots. This activity is carried out for 6 months covering surveys, preparation, delivering materials, practices, and monitoring. The activity was held on August 7, 2021 at the residence of Mr. Tugimin, with a total of 13 participants. The presentation of the material included the importance of soil organic matter for soil health, explanation about LOB, and continued the practice of making LOB. Based on the results of the pretest, the knowledge of farmers about negative impact of using synthetic agrochemicals and the importance of organic matter is still low, so that the explanation can increase farmers' knowledge as indicated by the posttest is increasing from 20% to 86%. Monitoring result showed that the LOB made has been successful with the characteristics like tape smell, but it is still not yet optimal. Farmers also expect follow-up activities for innovation on other organic fertilizers and biofertilizers.

In the present work, a model based on the finite element method is formulated, with the purpose of measuring the facial pressure generated by everyday masks. The analysis includes the computational determination of the contact pressure generated by the mask on two head shapes that contemplate the anthropometric dimensions of the Colombian population between 20 and 59 years old, one represents the male sex and the other the female sex. The head model is divided into five parts (two cheeks, the forehead, the chin, and the back of the head), some of them contemplate layers of skin, muscle, fat tissue and bone, according to the anatomy of the human head. The mask is made up of three layers of different materials, a metal clip and two elastic bands that allow the mask to be adjusted to the face. The simulation process consists of placing the mask fully centered on the face and stretching the elastic bands until they are located at the back of the ears, thus generating facial contact between the mask and the head. The results obtained in the simulation indicate that the maximum pressure values are found in five specific points of the head.
Essex-Lopresti Lesions and Longitudinal Radioulnar Instability

» An Essex-Lopresti injury (ELI) is classically described as a radial head fracture with a concomitant interosseous ligament complex (IOC) injury. However, multiple injury patterns may be present, and an interosseous membrane (IOM) injury should be evaluated for in any axial load injury through the forearm. ELI may result in longitudinal radioulnar instability (LRUI).

» Diagnosis of an IOC injury can be difficult. Evaluation begins with standard wrist and elbow radiographs and is supplemented with radiographs and intraoperative maneuvers to assess for proximal radial migration. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography may be useful in the acute setting, although indications and the clinical importance of the findings remain unclear.

» Surgical management of an acute ELI is focused on restoration of radial length and temporary distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) stabilization. Radial head excision in the acute setting should be approached with caution because proximal migration may not be present acutely but may develop over time. The indication for acute IOM repair and reconstruction remains unclear.

» Surgical management of a chronic ELI is focused on restoration of radial length, wrist leveling, and treatment of degenerative changes (either at the radiocapitellar joint or the DRUJ). Reconstruction of the central band can restore forearm load transfer and produce favorable functional outcomes, but its indications continue to be debated.

» Distal hamstring muscle injuries, although relatively uncommon, can potentially lead to substantial morbidity in athletes; prolonged rehabilitation times and high rates of reoccurrence have been documented.

» Overall, magnetic resonance imaging is considered the “gold standard” for evaluation of hamstring injuries because it allows assessment for concomitant pathology and can clarify return-to-sport timelines.

» Complete tears of the distal biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles respond well to surgical repair, whereas complete tears of the distal semitendinosus can be successfully treated nonoperatively or with surgical resection.

» Future research may be necessary to further optimize treatment of these injuries and to determine the efficacy of biologic adjuvant therapy.

Background: Multisectoral and public-private partnerships are critical in building the necessary infrastructure, policy, and political will to ameliorate health inequity. By focusing on health equity, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers make explicit the systematic, avoidable, unfair, and unjust differences in health status across population groups sustained over time and generations, beyond the control of individuals. Health equity requires a collective process in shaping the health and wellbeing of the communities in which we live, learn, work, play, move, and grow.Methods: Data are drawn from the Southwest Health Equity Research Collaborative’s Regional Health Equity Survey (RHES). The RHES is a community-informed, cross-sectional online survey comprised of 31 quantitative and 17 qualitative questions. Generated to elicit an interdisciplinary body of knowledge and guide future multisectoral action for improving community health and well-being, the RHES targeted leaders representing five large rural northern Arizona counties and 13 distinct sectors. To explore, multisectoral leaders’ knowledge, attitudes, and actions to address the social, environmental, and economic conditions that produce and sustain health inequity were analyzed using a priori coding scheme and emergent coding with thematic analysis.Results: Although leaders were provided the definition and asked to describe the root causes of inequities, the majority of leaders described social determinants of health (SDoH). When leaders described root causes of health inequity, they articulated systemic factors affecting their communities and described discrimination and unequal allocation of power and resources. Most leaders described the SDoH of their communities by discussing compounding factors of poverty, transportation, and housing among others, that together exacerbate inequity. Leaders also identified specific strategies to address SDoH and advance health equity in their communities, ranging from providing direct services, to activating partnerships across organizations and sectors in advocacy for policy change.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that community leaders in the northern Arizona region acknowledge the importance of multisectoral partnerships and collaborations in improving health equity for the populations that they serve. However, a common understanding of health equity remains to be widely established, which is essential for conducting effective multisectoral work with the goal of advancing health equity.
