Background: Soil is a rich source of microbes including those that have the ability to impede the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Objective: The current study was designed to explore the antimicrobial activity of soil borne microbes against pathogenic bacterial strain. Methodology: This study was conducted in the microbiology laboratory of University of Swabi. The antimicrobial potential of soils was evaluated against five pathogenic strains (Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Citrobacter and E.coli) using well diffusion assay. Antimicrobial activity of soils was assessed from the zone of inhibition around the wells. Results: Among the pathogenic strains, Citrobacter proved relatively more susceptible towards soils of both lawns in concentration dependent manner. Pseudomonas was susceptible towards the soil of Pharmacy lawn but did not respond to soil of Microbiology Lawn. Growth of other bacterial strains was not hampered by soil of any lawn. Conclusion: Based on current findings it is inferred that soils of both lawns are rich in microbes that produce secondary metabolites capable of inhibiting growth pathogenic strains. Keywords: Antimicrobial Activity; Soil Borne Microbes; Pathogenic Bacteria
Mathematical Analysis on Conducting Sphere Embedded in Non Integer Dimensional Space
Authors: Shahzad M Imran , Akbar M , Ahmed Saeed
Published: January 2023

We have derived an analytical solution in low frequency using the idea of a fractional Laplacian equation. Fractional dimensional (FD) space has importance in describing the complex physics phenomena. Here, the Laplacian equation in spherical coordinated (r,θ,0) is expressed in fractional dimensional space using Gegenbauer polynomials. The analytical solution is obtained by the separation variable method. The general solution is a product of angular and radial solutions and is independent of ϕ due to azimuthal symmetry. The classical solution is retained by setting fractional parameter α=3. Further, numerical results are discussed for different values of α and compared with available literature.

Authors: H. Malik Arshad , A. Memon Aftab , Arshad Feroza
Published: January 2023

Advanced Chinese Pressurized Water Reactor (ACP1000) is a third generation load following nuclear reactor. ACP1000 is designed to control the reactor power by a sophisticated control rod mechanism under the base load normal operation of a nuclear power plant in Mode-G. To extend the normal operation of ACP1000 for load following condition, boron adjustment control is used in manual configuration. In this research work, model based two new controllers are designed for ACP1000 reactor dynamics. A nonlinear two-point reactor kinetics model is developed for two halves of the reactor core designated as top and bottom of reactor core. Reactor feedbacks model for two-point reactor kinetics model is developed with fuel temperature, moderator temperature, Xenon concentration, G-Bank control rod position, R-Bank control rod position and boron concentration feedbacks under normal operation of ACP1000. Two problems of the large reactor core of ACP1000 are Xenon oscillations and axial offset in core power distribution. To address these problems, two new controllers are designed for normal load following operation of ACP1000. One controller is designed to replace G1-Bank and R-Bank in Mode-G for reactor power control. The second controller is designed to replace G2-Bank in Mode-G for reactivity control and axial power distribution control. Originally, both reactor coolant average temperature controller and reactor power controller were adaptive controllers. Therefore, both new controllers are designed based on an optimized sliding algorithm using a dedicated fractional order sliding mode control oriented adaptive fuzzy logic control (FO-SMC-AFLC) synthesis scheme. The performance of the proposed closed loop controllers is evaluated for design step and ramp power transients. Both proposed controllers are validated against benchmark results reported in Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) of ACP1000. The novel control design scheme is proved satisfactory for normal load following operation of ACP1000, and all the results are found well within design limits.

Published: January 2023

Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is a fast-growing vine and seeds germinated quickly in warm soil even if covered with shaded by crops. Due to its high medicinal benefits, it is the most essential vegetable crop. The findings of this study indicated that the germination percentage of the bitter melon variety i.e. Bitter gourd-1 (BG-1) was highly affected by the application of different concentrations of plant hormone. Such an effect was even prominent in comparison without the application of plant hormones. The seed germination was significantly highest (96.4 %) @ NAA 0.9 (900 mg/1000 ml). The germination time (days) was significantly lower 5.10 days @ NAA 0.3 (300 mg/1000 ml) and consistently increased at higher concentration of PGR (7.46 days at NAA 0.6 (600 mg/1000 ml) and 8.53 days at 1.5 (1500 mg/1000 ml), respectively. The germination index was 1.91 recorded higher at the control treatment. The results further indicated that the germination index of bitter gourd increased as the concentration of PGR increased. Overall, these findings indicated that the impact of PGR on the germination index was obvious, and the index enhanced as PGR concentration increased. The seedling vigour index was significantly maximum 1835 recorded at NAA 0.3 (300 mg/1000 ml) and followed by NAA 1.5 (1500 mg/1000 ml) with 1292, respectively. The results further showed that the seedling vigour index of bitter gourd decreased between 709 and 1024 at the control and distilled water treatments. We concluded that seed priming is a tool for sustainable agriculture.

Published: January 2023

Packed fruit juices are commonly consumed on daily basis around the globe which usually contains sodium benzoate as food preservative to enhance their shelf life and its amount may vary from defined food standards among brands. This mammalian model based research was designed to investigate the impact of locally packed fruit juices’ regular intake on consumers. For this purpose, albino mice (Mus musculus) were acclimatized in laboratory environment for ten days and then categorized in control and two experimental groups. The selected local brands were Murree brewery lemon malt and Shezan mango juice and their 0.1ml prepared dose was given to experimental groups I and II, respectively, whereas; control group was treated with equivalent amount of distilled water. The obtained histopathological results emphasized that regular intake of sodium benzoate having fruit juices may cause severe damage to hepatic and renal tissues, usually in the form of necrosis, vascular congestion sometimes dilation and other cellular alterations i.e., in glomeruli and bile duct. Moreover, it may result in onset of tumorogenesis. The conclusion of this study is local food authorities should ensure the addition of a defined amount of sodium benzoate as juice preservative in locally packed juices to provide healthy products to consumers.

Published: January 2023

O ruído é um problema da sociedade moderna e um poluente ambiental causado por atividades industriais, de tráfego, entre outras, podendo gerar problemas à saúde. Neste contexto, esse trabalho tem por finalidade avaliar o potencial de áreas verdes urbanas como barreira atenuadora de ruídos. Para isto, foi realizada uma análise de proximidade entre amostras de ruído mensurados em 10 locais da área urbana considerando a densidade de áreas verdes e a densidade de tráfego de veículos. Foi realizado o mapeamento por classe de níveis de tráfego urbano, das áreas verdes, no entorno de 10 pontos amostrais e calculadas as respectivas taxas de áreas verdes com uso de imagens orbitais de alta resolução espacial. Para as mesmas áreas foram calculadas densidades de tráfego urbano. Foi avaliada a influência atenuadora de ruídos devido a presença de maiores ou menores taxas de áreas verdes urbanas, caracterizadas como áreas verdes arbóreas e que possam funcionar como barreiras verticais verdes atenuadoras de ruídos, como também a interferência da frequência de veículos em função da densidade de tráfego veicular. Desta forma, buscou-se relações estatísticas entre os níveis de ruído encontrados e seus diferentes graus de urbanização. Os resultados demonstraram que as altas frequências de veículos, tanto a 100 como a 250 metros de proximidade dos pontos amostrais, influenciaram com maior intensidade de ruído e que as áreas verdes arbóreas reduziram marginalmente, porém tal redução não foi significativa.

The aim of the study was to analyse the attitudes of pupils of a church school towards the inclusion of a pupil with a physical disability in physical and sport education (PSE) and to compare in terms of gender, grade-level, in-school and out-of-school experiences, and type of school. The research sample consisted of 156 pupils attending the Piarist Combined School of František Hanák in Prievidza. In collecting the research data, we were inspired by a standardized diagnostic tool, the CAIPE-R. Pupils of a church school are aware that the presence of pupil with physical disability can negatively affect the flow of the PSE lessons. The highest level of positive attitude was shown by the pupils in full acceptance of a pupil in a wheelchair in the PSE class. Girls are significantly more likely to perceive inclusive PSE as an important to integrate a pupil with physical disability for his/her successful integration into society. Pupils of the lower grade-level (6th and 7th) are significantly more inclined to believe that the inclusion of a wheelchair pupil in PSE lessons can in no way disrupt the flow of the lesson, and that inclusive PSE is important for the pupil's successful integration into society. Pupils who have out-of-school experience of a person with physical disability are significantly more positive about the inclusion of a pupil in a wheelchair in the areas of wheelchair pupil acceptance by classmates, common goals achievement, and higher success rates of inclusion in society. Pupils with in-school experience declare a significantly more positive attitude in the success of learning motor skills acquisition in inclusive PSE. No differences in attitudes were showed in terms of the type of school.

Published: January 2023

La pedagogía tradicional considera los aspectos cognitivos y mide el coeficiente intelectual. Se obtienen resultados académicos bajos y falta motivación. La Neuroeducación concibe la inteligencia emocional para un aprendizaje de mayor calidad y una personalidad mejor preparada para la vida. Es una disciplina reciente, poco conocida y las experiencias prácticas publicadas son escasas, sobre todo en Latinoamérica. Su estudio y divulgación de hallazgos puede contribuir al cambio radical que la enseñanza requiere. Por ello se realizó una revisión integrativa de las últimas investigaciones realizadas en la región, cuasi experimentales y cuantitativas publicadas, con el objetivo de determinar si las estrategias neurodidácticas influyen en un mejor rendimiento académico, en comparación con la enseñanza tradicional, identificar las estrategias más empleadas, los métodos y ambientes más adecuados para su efectividad. La búsqueda bibliográfica abarcó 387 documentos, utilizando pares de palabras clave. Se seleccionaron 13 artículos originales que cumplieron el criterio de selección explicado. Los resultados indicaron que las estrategias neurodidácticas favorecieron rendimientos académicos superiores a los logrados con enseñanza tradicional, específicamente las socio-emocionales y metodológicas, con el uso de tácticas interactivas, relajación, generación de emociones positivas y el juego, desarrolladas utilizando el aprendizaje cooperativo como método activo, en ambientes emocionalmente positivos.

Nauczyciele i uczniowie edukacji włączającej w sytuacji trudnej czasu pandemicznego – wstępna konceptualizacja. Część 2
Authors: Głodkowska Joanna
Published: January 2023

Polska w roku 2019, tak jak i inne kraje, stanęła wobec nieprzewidywanego i trudnego problemu, jakim była pandemia COVID-19. Rozporządzenie Ministra Edukacji Narodowej (2020) regulowało rozwiązania w okresie czasowego ograniczenia funkcjonowania jednostek systemu oświaty w związku z zapobieganiem, przeciwdziałaniem i zwalczaniem pandemii. Wiele spraw i obszarów życia społecznego zostało poddanych weryfikacji, zyskując tym samym nowe, niekiedy nieoczekiwane znaczenia. Dotyczy to różnych dziedzin życia osobistego i społecznego, w tym także dostosowania edukacji dzieci i młodzieży do zmienionych warunków ich kształcenia. Tradycyjna forma kształcenia została zastąpiona zdalną edukacją domową. Nauczanie prawie rok przebiegało w zmienionych warunkach, część w trybie zdalnym, część w trybie stacjonarnym, a także hybrydowym. W warunkach kształcenia wyznaczonych pandemią wszyscy uczestnicy procesu kształcenia musieli podjąć wyzwania i próbować poradzić sobie z tą sytuacją. Zarówno nauczyciele, jak i uczniowie, a także rodzice stanęli w obliczu nieprzewidywalnych, trudnych sytuacji.
Celem tego artykułu jest konceptualizacja sytuacji nauczycieli i uczniów edukacji włączającej w kontekście doświadczanych przez nich sytuacji trudnych związanych z pandemią COVID-19. Nawiązanie do koncepcji sytuacji trudnej pozwoliło rozważać ją w kontekście: (1) deprywacji potrzeb, (2) przeciążenia obowiązkami szkolnymi, (3) utrudnień w spełnianiu zadań, (4) pojawiających się konfliktów, (5) doświadczania zagrożeń. Artykuł ten jest teoretycznym nakreśleniem edukacji włączającej w sytuacji trudnej okresu pandemicznego. Zawiera wybrane założenia do konstruowania narzędzia pomiaru, diagnozującego złożone i nieprzewidywalne sytuacje edukacyjne, które wpisują się w koncepcję sytuacji trudnych.
Skuteczność stosowania wybranych metod pedagogicznych w kontekście włączania dzieci z zaburzeniami rozwoju do środowiska grupy przedszkolnej
Authors: Skrzetuska Ewa , Majkowska Małgorzata
Published: January 2023

Artykuł porusza tematykę skuteczności włączenia dziecka z zaburzeniami rozwoju do środowiska przedszkolnego w grupie integracyjnej. W ramach badań przeprowadzono zajęcia, w których uczestniczyło 16 dzieci, w tym 4 mających orzeczenie lub podejrzanych o zaburzenia rozwojowe. Inspiracją do przyjętej organizacji zajęć były wskazówki Edyty Gruszczyk-Kolczyńskiej i Ewy Zielińskiej, które opisywały w swojej książce, w jaki sposób organizować zabawy małych dzieci, aby bawiły się „mądrze i długo” (2019c, s. 209). Głównym celem badań było ustalenie, czy zastosowanie ciekawych elementów wybranych metod zainteresuje wszystkie dzieci i zachęci do wspólnej zabawy także te, które dotychczas niezbyt chętnie uczestniczyły w zabawach grupowych lub miały kłopoty z kontaktami z rówieśnikami. Na podstawie prowadzonych obserwacji można potwierdzić hipotezę, że sukces procesu włączania do grupy dziecka w przedszkolu integracyjnym w dużym stopniu zależy od przemyślanego działania nauczyciela, celowego doboru zajęć oraz dostosowania ich do potrzeb konkretnego dziecka. Przedstawione obserwacje stanowią wstęp do dalszych poszukiwań dotyczących zastosowania elementów różnych metod pedagogicznych w środowisku przedszkolnym w odniesieniu do najmłodszych dzieci.
Klub integracji społecznej instrumentem przeciwdziałania wykluczeniu społecznemu osób z niepełnosprawnościami
Authors: Szeroczyńska Małgorzata
Published: January 2023

Wykluczenie społeczne jest poważnym problemem współczesnych państw, także Polski. Osoby z niepełnosprawnością niestety w dużym odsetku wciąż należą do grupy osób zagrożonych ekskluzją, gdyż mają utrudniony dostęp do zatrudnienia, które niewątpliwie jest jednym z podstawowych aspektów przeciwdziałających wykluczeniu społecznemu. Polskie prawo przewiduje różne instytucje rehabilitacji zawodowej i społecznej osób z niepełnosprawnościami. Są one uregulowane nie tylko w ustawach poświęconych tej grupie społecznej, lecz także w innych aktach prawnych, skierowanych do wszystkich osób zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym.
Jednym z instrumentów przeciwdziałania wykluczeniu społecznemu przewidzianym w ustawie o zatrudnieniu socjalnym jest klub integracji społecznej. Celem tekstu jest zaprezentowanie tej instytucji w aspekcie oferty skierowanej do osób z niepełnosprawnościami. Co prawda, obecnie dość mało osób z niepełnosprawnościami jest uczestnikami takich klubów. Jednakże mogą one być miejscem pozwalającym także tej grupie osób na zwiększenie własnych kompetencji społecznych i dającym szansę na nabycie różnorodnych umiejętności, przydanych dla usamodzielnienia i coraz pełniejszego korzystania z życia społecznego, szczególnie że kluby integracji społecznej budują swoje podejście do uczestnika w sposób zindywidualizowany i na zasadzie poszanowania jego godności i autonomii oraz wspierania zasobów własnych.

The possibility of using mediation in the work of a school counsellor
Authors: Wołk Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

Despite the growing recognition of mediation in schools and the increasing introduction of alternative methods of dispute resolution, mediation in schools is neither a common nor a standard method of conflict resolution and restorative justice implementation. The aim of the article is to review the possibilities offered by the use of mediation in the work of a counsellor. The review of literature presented in the article oscillates around the tasks of a school counsellor, the organization of mediation in school, the potential of mediation and mediation practices used in the work of a school counsellor, as well as their effectiveness. The review includes articles by both Polish and foreign scientists pointing to the effectiveness of the introduction of mediation practices. The results of the review indicate high variability in the implementation and evaluation of mediation practices and the implementation of restorative justice postulates in schools. At the same time, most studies have shown positive results of introducing mediation solutions, in particular maintaining favourable personal relations despite the occurrence of a dispute, as well as limiting the frequency of referring a dispute to resolution in formalized disciplinary or court proceedings. Possibilities of using mediation in the work of a school counsellor as a method of personal development in the field of interpersonal communication, as well as a method of preventing violence and a tool to help in fulfilling the tasks entrusted to a school counsellor were discussed. In addition, the article shows the future directions of research in the field of alternative methods of dispute resolution in the school environment.
Domestic violence against women during COVID-19 pandemic. Support options
Authors: Kempińska Urszula , Rudenko Mykola
Published: January 2023

Domestic violence is a common phenomenon all over the world and in every environment, regardless of the level of education, material conditions, place of residence, race, or even religion. Historically viewed as a private issue, domestic violence is now recognized as a gender-based crime and is a significant public health problem affecting the well-being of victims, their families and communities. Numerous evidence shows that domestic and sexual violence escalate in times of disasters and pandemics. One of the main reasons for the escalation of domestic violence during the period of anomie is social isolation, economic instability, loss of income and related stress, as well as chaos and change of legislation, including the introduction of introduction of restrictions. Such periods of forced intimacy between partners extend the time they spend together and make it more difficult for victims of domestic violence to “escape” from home. The aim of the article is to present both the scale of the phenomenon of violence in a global perspective and the actions taken in selected countries, including Poland and Ukraine, for the victims of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research focuses on the following questions: What is the scale of the phenomenon of violence during a pandemic? What measures have countries taken to support victims of violence? The article is based on the monographic method, an analysis of available scientific sources (published in English, Polish and Ukrainian) describing the diagnosed phenomenon. The article may contribute to further research and reflection on this issue, especially in the current political situation in the world (war in Ukraine), which is conducive to aggressive behaviour.
An analysis of parents’ and teachers’ struggles during the unprecedented situation of the COVID-19 pandemic and teachers’ suggestions to parents on how to stimulate children’s development in case it extends or re-surge
Authors: Nowak-Fabrykowski Krystyna
Published: January 2023

Many theories (Comers’ SDM, change theory, the Ohio Collaborative) stress that parents’ engagement is key for a child’s achievement and identified their role as co-teachers, co-leaders, co-workers, and co-supporters in their children’s development. Siegel and Hartzell’s (2006) emphasized that parents must be mindfully present during connecting interactions. The pandemic that started in 2019 put pressure on parents struggling with health, financial problems, etc. by adding new demands to participate in their children’s daily lessons, learn new technology, and keep children engaged and prepared for classes online. These problems occurred were not localized to the USA, but were in all countries, as COVID was a global pandemic. This study addresses teachers’ suggestions on what parents could do to stimulate their children’s learning and development. A mixed-method research study was conducted in the Midwest of the United States using Qualtrics with data collected from a survey sent to 121 teachers of young children The results provided an analysis of parents’ and teachers ‘struggles in this unprecedented situation and teachers’ suggestions for parents on how to stimulate children’s development if it extends or re-surge.
Change in the form of cooperation between kindergarten teachers and children's parents COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Wyczółowska Ewa
Published: January 2023

The article describes the cooperation of kindergarten teachers with children's parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the conducted research, the forms of action were specified. The presented data come from the publications of other researchers. It turned out that online cooperation during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in new forms of action and tools that enabled the change from traditional meetings and conversations to an electronic version. Therefore, this extraordinary situation allowed both to enlarge and modernize the set of forms of action, as well as to give many of them a digital dimension and to improve communication between cooperation partners. In such exceptional circumstances, experiencing and exploring the space of cooperation enriched the language of senders and recipients. The introduction of ICT tools in relations between kindergarten teachers and children's parents also caused side effects, especially in poor regions of the world. Considerations conducted in the quantitative and qualitative perspective allowed for reflections on improving the cooperation of kindergarten teachers with children's parents.

Authors: Ferreira Fabiano Santos , Marchesan Gustavo , De Morais Adriano Peres
Published: January 2023

O uso de microrredes tem sido estuada como uma possibilidade de aliviar as redes de distribuição, pois em caso de picos de demanda ou contingencias, a microrrede pode operar de forma isolada, aliviando o sistema de distribuição e fornecendo uma energia de qualidade e mais eficiente, pois sua geração se encontra mais próxima das cargas. A microrrede também pode ser usada de forma totalmente isolada e essa configuração é muito usada em locais remotos onde não há acesso a rede de distribuição. Nestes locais grande parte das microrredes são formadas por geradores a diesel, que demandam um alto consumo de combustível na sua operação. Fontes renováveis como eólica e solar seriam a melhor opção nestes casos, contudo, essas fontes são intermitentes e sua operação é sempre associada a fontes de geração constante. Neste cenário surge as microrredes hibridas, que possibilitam o uso de fontes renováveis para gerar energia limpa e ainda reduzem o consumo de combustível dos geradores a diesel. No entanto, a grande variação de potência das fontes renováveis, ocasionada pela sua intermitência, pode gerar graves problemas na qualidade da energia elétrica e instabilidades no sistema híbrido e assim comprometer a operação da microrrede. Desta forma, este artigo realiza uma análise aprofundada das metodologias mais relevantes propostas na literatura especializada, apontando as principais vantagens e desvantagens de cada uma.

In Russia, ESG investing is just beginning to develop, the state supports and promotes this concept, encourages companies with a high ESG rating and introduces benefits for them - subsidizing coupon income on bonds to cover part of the issuers' expenses. Regulators also create common standards by which to assess whether a company really follows ESG principles. Current research is devoted to the developing the indicators (indexes), which enable to evaluate possible ESG- nvestment strategies. The goal of the research is to suggest the benchmark of the balanced investment portfolio, which is less volatile, than the traditional stock indexes. So, the formation of an investment portfolio consisting of sustainable assets and building on its basis an ESG- nvestment index will enable to develop the principles of individual sustainable investments. The index structure is bases on a number of sub indexes, which consist of three asset classes: stocks of sustainable companies, bonds of sustainable companies and ESG ETFs of Russian companies. Methodologies employed included the investment performance investigation on the basis of created ESG investment index, that, on the one hand, would have moderate volatility, and on the other hand, would include expanded investment opportunities through the integration of ESG assets. The results and the novelty of the research is to investigate risk/return tradeoff in respect of ESG-investment portfolio structure and to provide the investors additional benchmarks to develop their investment strategies.

The article presents the results of a study of foreign practices of "smart" city concept implementation in territories with uneven landscape. Territories located in the foothills with a significant height difference from 0 to 600 meters above sea level are considered as territories with an uneven landscape. The study addresses the problem of assessing the management readiness level of cities to determine relevant experience for its implementation in the Russian Federation. The authors of the study developed seven criteria for assessing the readiness of cities to implement the "smart" city concept, using the elaborated method of the management readiness level determination. The study was conducted on the basis of an expert assessment of criteria and subsequent ranking of cities according to their integral indicators. The authors conclude that due to the similarity of the geographical and demographic characteristics of Bilbao and Cuenca with the regions of the North Caucasus, as well as the high management readiness level of these cities, their experience is applicable to the Russian Federation.

Authors: Sugiharjo Dedhy , Suriani Suriani , Seftarita Chenny
Published: January 2023

Aceh is the highest poverty rate among other provinces on Sumatra Island, and this condition has been going on for 20 years (2002-2021). Poverty that lasts a long time can result in the inheritance of poverty to the next generation so that it can give rise to groups of people who are always poor, which bring various problems. To overcome the problem, the central government grants special autonomy funds expected to reduce poverty in Aceh Province by strengthening the education and health sectors. Many previous studies have examined education and health as determinants of poverty. However, there was still limited research using special autonomy funds as a moderating variable. Therefore, the authors are motivated to fill the gap in research related to special autonomy funds as a moderating variable on the effect of education and health on poverty in Aceh Province. This study aims to investigate the role of special autonomy funds in moderating education and health on poverty using panel data for 2010-2021 in 23 districts/cities in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Analysis using MRA concluded that education had no significant effect, while health negatively affected the poverty rate. Furthermore, special autonomy funds are significant in moderating education and health on poverty. So, to reduce poverty, special autonomy funds can focus more on the education and health sectors. It is recommended that the government still utilize special autonomy funds that focus on supporting both programs, increasing public education and health, since special autonomy funds are proven to strengthen the effect of those two sectors in poverty reduction

Developing a Rural Healthcare System
Authors: Zheng Qiufeng
Published: January 2023

Background:
Healthcare related welfare is a matter of resource allocation. In modern market economies, redistribution in Western societies is accomplished through state welfare systems to balance the inequality of market resource allocation. However, resource allocation in socialist countries has its own peculiarities. And the relationship between market transformation (social transformation) and resource allocation methods in post-socialist countries is an important academic topic. This paper examines the changes in the rural cooperative medical system（RCMS）in China in order to explore the changes in rural cooperative healthcare governance mechanisms during recent social transformation.
Objectives:
The main purpose of this paper is to place the rural cooperative health care system（RCMS）in a macroeconomic-political context and to compare the changes in cooperative health care resource allocation mechanisms across time.
Methods:
The article undertakes a narrative literature review approach and method. The review used the following sources: Web of Science and PubMed. The search used the keywords" rural cooperative medical care system", "community benefits", " public service-based welfare" and "governance",and limited to articles published between January 2019 and June 2022. The selection of articles was based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria (keywords defined and time span of publication).
Results:
From collectivized cooperative medical care System（RCMS） to today's New Rural Cooperative Medical System（NRCMS), its governance mechanism has changed and the nature of welfare has changed with it. It has also changed from community welfare, where organized grassroots communities supply medical services, to government-led public service-based welfare.
Main Contribution to Evidence-Based Practice:
The paper shows the process of change in China's rural cooperative healthcarel system（RCMS), mainly analyzing the change of healthcare welfare governance mechanism. Thus ,it provides a reference for governmental health policies development and for international researchers.
