Authors: Asokan Dinesh , Mall Anjali , Sankhe Lalit , Jaganathasamy Nagaraj , Pardeshi Geeta
Published: July 2024

Background:

Dog bites pose a significant public health concern in India, necessitating an understanding of their epidemiological profile and spatial distribution. Adopting the One Health approach, which considers the interconnection of human, animal, and environmental health, is vital for developing effective interventions.

Objectives:

The study aimed to assess the epidemiological profile and geospatial trends of dog bite cases in an urban area, focusing on the age and gender distribution of victims, severity of bites, and spatial distribution of cases to inform prevention strategies.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective secondary data analysis was conducted on dog bite cases reported in 2022 at a tertiary care hospital in Mumbai. The epidemiological profile, including age, gender, and severity of bites, was examined. Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) was utilized for spatial distribution analysis, identifying hotspots within the urban area.

Results:

Of the 3350 cases, 70.7% were below 40 years old, 81.6% were male, and 78.18% had Category III bites indicating severe injuries. Most cases (74%) were caused by stray dogs. QGIS analysis revealed five hotspots within the urban area.

Conclusion:

The study highlights the predominance of dog bites among younger males and the severity of injuries. Spatial analysis identified specific hotspots, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Implementing a comprehensive surveillance system incorporating GIS technology and adopting a One Health approach can enhance the control and prevention of dog bite cases and reduce the risk of rabies outbreaks.
Tracking Missing Deaths: An Exploratory Study on the Mortality Impact of COVID-19 in Kozhikode City, India
Authors: Abraham Shilka , Ghosh Soumitra
Published: July 2024

Background:

The debate over the extent of the mortality impact of COVID-19 in India is still unsettled.

Objectives:

This article contributes to the debate, seeking to explore the true mortality impact of the pandemic, by answering four interrelated questions. First, is there any discrepancy between recorded and actual death count? Second, if so, how large it is? Third, what is the extent of misclassification of COVID-19 mortality, and fourth, what is the magnitude of deaths that could be indirectly linked to COVID-19?

Materials and Methods:

To answer the questions, we explored three sources of data-all-cause mortality data from the civil registration system, records maintained at the burial grounds/cemeteries and crematoriums, and a household survey. The data collection period was between August 2021 and November 2021. The instrument used for data collection of verbal autopsies was built on the instrument proposed by the World Health Organization for adult mortality.

Results:

The results revealed that deaths due to various causes including COVID-19 increased considerably at some points in 2020–2021 compared to the base year 2019 in the study setting. Notably, 5.5% of the noninstitutional deaths were unreported at the time of the survey and many deaths were plausibly misclassified, leading to undercounting of COVID-19 deaths. Overall, about half of our sampled deaths (48%) had either direct or indirect attribution to the pandemic.

Conclusion:

The extent of undercounting of pandemic-related deaths is likely to be either similar or worse in other states. To get reliable state and national estimates, policymakers should conduct a large-scale study.

Published: July 2024

With the introduction of the novel coronavirus in late 2019, the healthcare system of every country in the world experienced many challenges. In India, every healthcare organization has prepared itself to fight against these global challenges. This study aims to describe the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and how we dealt with the pandemic successfully. This narrative analysis study was made in a 960-bedded teaching hospital during the pandemic. The challenges were identified from the minutes of meetings, circulars issued, and various strategic decisions made to combat the pandemic. The challenges faced by the institute were categorized into nine different categories: infrastructural, human resource, hospital operations, and others. Lack of knowledge during the initial days of the pandemic, need for round-theclock situational management, and day-to-day operation needed aggressive training and adherence to the guidelines. Gaps identified in areas like inventory, infection control, logistics, etc., were quickly addressed, and processes were created as per the nation’s changing guidelines. This study revealed strategies to manage the pandemic by optimally utilizing available resources with good teamwork and situational leadership.
Basic Vaccinations among Children Aged 12–23 Months in Northeast India: Trend, Pattern and Factors Influencing Low Coverage
Authors: Mistri Avijit , Gangte Soilalsiem
Published: July 2024

India has experienced tremendous progress in childhood immunization through centralized flagship programs since 1985. There is a wide variation of immunization coverage of children aged 12–23 months among Indian states and regions. The North East (NE) region, including eight sister states, has witnessed low immunization coverage (68.4%) with higher dropouts (25%) and nonvaccinations (7.0%). NE Indian states substantially improved childhood immunization from 22.8% in 1992–93 to 68.4% in 2019–2021; still, it is below the national average (77%) and the lowest among the Indian States/UTs. Highly predictive determinants for the outcome of childhood vaccination status include maternal characteristics antenatal care for pregnancy, place of delivery, education level, and media exposure. A large section of the backward hilly tribes is also needed special attention to improving the levels of childhood vaccinations in NE states.

Authors: Mohapatra Archisman , Kaur Jaspreet , Mukherjee Ritika , Aravind Ram Suresh , Deshmukh Vaishali , Bassi Shikha , Swain Sumant , Wig Rebecca , Kumar Sanjiv , Arora Narendra Kumar
Published: July 2024

Background:

There are several leadership training programs for health researchers in India. However, there is a need to develop context-tailored leadership and mentoring approaches.

Objective:

The objective of the study is to critically analyze the available leadership training programs in India for health researchers and service providers, for the leadership domains incorporated and overall training approaches.

Materials and Methods:

We used an exploratory-descriptive design to identify and review leadership training programs for health researchers and service providers/managers that had been offered by Indian institutions between 2013 and 2018. Our analytic approach was based on “transformational leadership” and “leader-member exchange” theories of leadership, curricula of popular leadership training programs worldwide, and the International Clinical Epidemiology Network model for leadership in health research in India based on a nationwide primary study.

Results:

We identified and reviewed 20 leadership training programs. These were heterogeneous in aim, scope (broad-based/thematic), course content, design, target participants and class profile, mode of delivery and training method, duration, frequency, and fund arrangements. The programs infrequently included topics on soft skills, mentoring, risk mitigation, collaboration for research, funding dynamics, institutional transformation, self-view and peer perception, and personal well-being. The programs insufficiently addressed contextual challenges of career exploration and risk mitigation, project management, strategic planning, and decision-making, ethics and integrity, negotiations, networking and collaboration, understanding funding dynamics, and mentoring. Only three programs linked to the training to the participants’ ecosystem.

Conclusions:

There is a need to develop customized course contents and training strategies that address the requirements of the local context vis-à-vis globally connected research ecosystems.
Effectiveness of Group Health Education on “Perceived Stress” among High-School Children of Kolar: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Suresh Anandu , Reddy Mahendra M. , Kamath Prasanna B. T.
Published: July 2024

Background:

Adolescents are exposed to various psycho-physiological stressors due to rapid changes in their bodies along with increased academic pressure, peer pressure, and pressures from other sources of society. Group health education sessions in schools could have a positive outcome in not only the way they perceive stress but also tackle it efficiently.

Objective:

The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of group health education intervention on “perceived stress” among the high school children of Kolar.

Materials and Methods:

An open-label cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted among high school students (8th, 9th, and 10th standard) in selected English Medium Schools of Kolar Taluk. The study was conducted in three phases spanning 5 months of duration. Phase I included baseline data collection wherein “perceived stress” level was captured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) 10 questionnaire. Phase II was the interventional phase in the form of group health education sessions. Phase III was end-line assessment.

Results:

Before the intervention, 6.2%, 92.4%, and 1.5% of the students had mild, moderate, and severe stress, respectively, in the intervention group. After the intervention in the intervention group, about 57.9% had mild stress, 42.1% had moderate stress, and none had severe stress. The difference in difference analysis (DID) showed that the mean PSS scores in the intervention group changed by −8.84 while in the control group by 0.40.

Conclusion:

Group health education delivered was effective in reducing the perceived stress levels among high school children and it is a feasible and acceptable intervention for stress in school-going adolescent children.
The Human Papillomavirus Enigma: A Narrative Review of Global Variations in Oropharyngeal Cancer Epidemiology and Prognosis
Authors: Singhavi Hitesh Rajendra , Chaturvedi Pankaj , Nair Deepa
Published: July 2024

Oropharyngeal cancers (OPCs) in Asia account for 42% of the global burden and over 50% of related deaths. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is involved in over 70% of OPC cases in the Western hemisphere, but its role in the Eastern hemisphere is unclear. This study reviews OPC epidemiology, including prevalence, etiological factors (such as smokeless tobacco and HPV), and their interaction. Among the SEAR countries, India had the highest incidence of HPV-related OPCs at 38.4%, while data were unavailable for most African countries, with only a 14% incidence reported. Conversely, the American region exhibited one of the highest HPV positivity rates, reaching up to 65% in different states of the USA, while Brazil reported an incidence of up to 38%. In the European Union, the UK had the highest incidence of HPV-associated OPC, reaching up to 52%. In the Western Pacific region, New Zealand demonstrated the highest incidence at up to 78%. Smokeless tobacco consumption was higher in SEAR countries, which had a relatively lower incidence of HPV infection, suggesting a negative correlation between the two. Based on our literature search, the most common detection methods used globally are immunohistochemistry for p16 and polymerized chain reaction. OPCs are a global health concern, and proper identification and classification are vital. HPV-driven cancers have better survival rates, emphasizing the need for focused research on specific problem areas based on the burden of HPV-positive or HPV-negative cancers.
“The Early Years are Like a Foundation for the Future” Perspectives, Facilitators, and Challenges of Anganwadi Workers in Supporting Early Child Development Interventions in Hyderabad, India: Qualitative Findings from a Scalable Program Incorporating Early Child Development Interventions
Authors: Lall Gitanjali , Roy Reetabrata , Chandrika Kunduru Sharath , Divan Gauri
Published: July 2024

Background:

Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, a large public health program, addresses the needs of young children with Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) as frontline agents of delivery. A scalable program incorporating early child development interventions (ASPIRE) has been developed to complement the program and address some of its gaps.

Objectives:

This paper describes formative work done with AWWs, as part of ASPIRE to assess their understanding of early childhood development (ECD) and acceptability of a novel ECD intervention using digital technology.

Materials and Methods:

Six focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 31 AWWs, using a semi-structured guide.

Results:

Framework analysis of their responses from FGDs led to the identification of three themes: (1) time use, (2) understanding of ECD, and (3) delivering messages using videos. The findings suggest that AWWs tight schedules often leave them feeling overburdened with work. They are aware of factors that can aid as well as hinder child growth and development, but their understanding of play is limited to games played by older children. They expressed acceptability in using a video intervention, specifying features that would increase relevance for families.

Conclusion:

Integration of novel ECD interventions delivered by frontline workers needs to take into account their existing work schedules and associated challenges. Training on ECD interventions will need to broaden AWWs understanding of the critical foundational experiences which responsive caregiving and early child stimulation can provide.
Scalable Image Clustering to screen for self-produced CSAM
Authors: Kleier Samantha , Baier Harald
Published: July 2024

The number of cases involving Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) has increased dramatically in recent years, resulting in significant backlogs. To protect children in the suspect’s sphere of influence, immediate identification of self-produced CSAM among acquired CSAM is paramount. Currently, investigators often rely on an approach based on a simple metadata search. However, this approach faces scalability limitations for large cases and is ineffective against anti-forensic measures. Therefore, to address these problems, we bridge the gap between digital forensics and state-of-the-art data science clustering approaches. Our approach enables clustering of more than 130,000 images, which is eight times larger than previous achievements, using commodity hardware and within an hour with the ability to scale even further. In addition, we evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on seven publicly available forensic image databases, taking into account factors such as anti-forensic measures and social media post-processing. Our results show an excellent median clustering-precision (Homogeinity) of 0.92 on native images and a median clustering-recall (Completeness) of over 0.92 for each test set. Importantly, we provide full reproducibility using only publicly available algorithms, implementations, and image databases.

Background: Türkiye is ranked close to last among OECD countries in terms of the ‘number of nurses per 1,000 people’. Nurses and nurse managers already devotedly provided services under difficult conditions during normal periods before the pandemic, and this became even harder during the pandemic. Therefore, it is important to investigate the experiences of nurses and nurse managers during the pandemic to make improvement in nursing care for future possible pandemics.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of nurses and nurse managers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: The study used the phenomenological qualitative approach. The sample consisted of 14 nurse managers and 14 nurses who were working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected via online voice and video calls using a semi-structured interview form. The findings were reported in accordance with the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research.

Results: Following analysis of the data, the attitudes of nurse managers and nurses in Türkiye related to the COVID-19 pandemic challenges and experiences divided into three themes: “Communication”, “Training”, and “Working Conditions/Environment”.

Conclusion: In the study, nurses emphasized that their work environments were negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, it was concluded that nurse managers exerted significant efforts to facilitate communication, to meet nurses’ needs for training, and to improve staff nurses’ working conditions. Some nurses noted that hospital administrators and nursing service managers provided social and psychological support. The study also revealed that the sensitivity and genuine approach of nurse managers enhanced nurses’ resilience. Nurse managers’ management skills and nurses’ experiences during the pandemic provide valuable insights and evidence for effectively managing future pandemics and similar disasters.

Reseña de Tecnologías de Eros
Authors: Reyes Pliego Nancy Montserrat
Published: July 2024

La presente reseña trata sobre el libro “Tecnologías de Eros. Contribución para una teoría micropolítica del placer”. En su obra, el Psicoanalista León A. Damián aborda las prácticas de intensificación del placer y las maneras en que, tanto el placer como el deseo, están mediatizadas por estructuras y dispositivos de poder. Damián propone que las Tecnologías de Eros son saberes que se producen a través de experimentar con dichas prácticas. Concluye que la experimentación con el propio cuerpo es una vía de producción de conocimientos sobre el erotismo, placer y deseo en las sociedades contemporáneas, además la teoría que se construye en estos dispositivos se convierte en formas de resistencia ante el régimen farmacopornográfico y el control de la heteronorma. Asimismo, el autor realiza una crítica a la epistemología del binarismo sexual y de género. Con el propósito de sustentar su propuesta teórica se apoya en textos de Gayle Rubin, Hervé Guibert y la novela “Historia de O”. Los planteamientos expuestos en este libro son un tejido entre Psicoanálisis, Filosofía, Teoría queer y Feminismos.

El presente artículo proviene de un estudio realizado a través de prácticas de investigación en la Facultad de Información y Comunicación de la UdelaR durante el 2020 y 2021 sobre relatos de vida de gais y lesbianas mayores de 40 y menores de 26 años. Repasa algunos de los antecedentes sobre la temática. Indaga acerca del proceso de pérdida de potencia del estigma de la homosexualidad y sus resistencias a través de la voz de los propios actores. Se apoya en los aportes teóricos de Erving Goffman, Judith Butler y José Ignacio Pichardo. Propone algunas categorías para comprender el pasaje de la invisibilidad hacia la visibilidad donde algunas prácticas de encubrimiento han perdido preeminencia no obstante se describen distintas formas de violencia desde las más directas como abuso o rechazo hasta otras muy sutiles tales como la autocensura, algunas de las cuales persisten actualmente. En este proceso ambivalente destaca como determinante el cambio en los nuevos medios y redes de comunicación a partir de la generación de nuevos contenidos que normalizaron la presencia de gais y lesbianas y permiten a los jóvenes el encuentro inmediato con sus pares. Quedan pendientes muchos desafíos para profundizar en la agenda LGBTQIA+.

Persons with disabilities face numerous challenges in their daily lives. One of the most significant issues is accessibility to transportation. The problem of transportation accessibility is primarily manifested through reduced mobility compared to the rest of the population. The aim of this paper is to identify the most significant problems that diminish the mobility of persons with disabilities and to propose appropriate measures. To achieve better systematization, the mobility of persons with disabilities is divided into non-motorized and motorized trips. In the case of non-motorized trips, special emphasis is placed on issues related to the accessibility of transportation infrastructure. Within motorized trips, measures are divided into those related to passenger car and public transportation vehicles. Problems related to passenger car are analysed for both the driver’s and passenger’s characteristics. Additionally, autonomous vehicles have been recognized as a separate category of vehicles that will significantly improve the mobility of persons with disabilities in the future. The measures presented in this paper serve as a basis for raising awareness among decision-makers at the local government level to enhance the mobility of persons with disabilities.

Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, Trajković Maja , Djordjević Luka ,   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering
Published: July 2024

The subject of the research was the behavior of pedestrians at three pedestrian crossings with traffic lights in Belgrade. The authors observed and analyzed the behavior of pedestrians and rivers at three locations in Belgrade: on crossings in front of the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the Church of Emperor Constantine and Empress Jelena. The behavior of at least 500 pedestrians was analyzed at each location, including legal and illegal crossings, gender, and age group of pedestrians during peak periods. During the research, vehicle speeds were measured at the observed locations. The goal of the research was to better understand the frequency and causes of illegal road crossings at traffic lighted pedestrian crossings and to give recommendations for reducing the frequency of illegal crossings The conclusions of the research emphasize the importance of better consideration of the human factor in traffic signal design, specifically, a better understanding of the behavior of traffic participants in order to define optimal measures for improving pedestrian behavior and safety. Based on the research, the authors conclude that long duration traffic light cycles, low vehicle flows, low vehicle speeds, and short pedestrian crossing times contribute to more frequent improper road crossings.

With the development of society and the increase in motorization, there is also a rise in negative effects and consequences of traffic. In order to reduce the number of traffic accidents and injuries in traffic, as well as to enhance the level of traffic safety, it is necessary to effectively manage the traffic safety system. Successful traffic safety management requires defining the desired state as well as projecting and implementing appropriate measures to achieve that state. The most effective measures can only be taken if the existing conditions are well known. Therefore, it is important to accurately determine and continuously monitor the existing conditions. The topic of this paper is to ascertain the current traffic safety situation in the municipality of Aranđelovac for the period 2018-2022. Through the analysis of traffic accidents in the observed period, recording and analysis of traffic safety performance indicators, investigating the attitudes of the residents of the mentioned municipality on traffic safety, and comparing the results with a reference area, the paper will present the results of these analyses as well as highlight the most significant identified problems.

Following the newly adopted European Directive on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) 2010/40/EU, officially published on November 30th 2023 under the new code (EU) 2023/2661, opportunities arise for the entire industry. The main aim of the Directive is to promote coordinated deployment of intelligent transport systems in accordance with technological development and user needs. It provides a framework for developing and implementing technologies to improve transportation systems' efficiency, safety, and sustainability within the European Union (EU) and member states. The new European legislation should ensure that ITS applications in the field of road transport enable seamless integration with other modes of transport thus facilitating a shift to those modes whenever possible. This will in time improve the safety, efficiency and accessibility of the European transportation system. In this paper, we are analyzing the main objectives of the EU initiative and changes compared to the initial Directive of 2010 with special regard to changes in Priority III, safety and Priority IV, ITS services for connecting, cooperation and automatization of mobility. Although all key changes are analysed the special focus was on critical services such as road safety-related traffic information services, to be made available across Europe.

The traditional representation of the state of road safety, based only on the number and consequences of road accidents, is increasingly rare. Attitudes about road safety help to define the state of road safety more precisely. In every traffic situation, human expresses his knowledge, personality, skills and attitudes through his reactions. Attitudes have a dominant influence on the behavior of road users, and therefore on road safety. Attitudes are built and rooted from an early age, and family, educators, earliest experiences and role models play a crucial role in this. The goal of the research is to examine the attitudes and self-reported behaviors of road users in the municipality of New Belgrade, with a special focus on traffic risks (e.g. driving under the influence, etc.). The ESRA methodology was used to prepare the survey questionnaire. Data collection was carried out online, based on the principle of anonymity and using the Google Forms application, in December 2023. After processing the data, a comparative analysis was performed with the results of the ESRA3 research, with special reference to the results related to the Republic of Serbia. In addition, an overview of the goals of the Road Safety Strategy of the City of Belgrade 2021-2025 was given, and in relation with the attitudes. Based on the analyzes carried out in relation to the attitudes of road users in the municipality of New Belgrade, key problems were defined, and the presented results can help in easier definition of the measures and activities of road safety subjects in this municipality.

Di tengah meningkatnya skeptisisme terhadap periklanan konvensional di kalangan konsumen, merek memerlukan alternatif yang sangat efektif dibandingkan komunikasi pemasaran tradisional. Mengingat kondisi ini, pemasaran konten digital (DCM) menjadi lebih menonjol secara global dan semakin menjadi komponen penting dalam strategi pemasaran perusahaan, yang berfungsi sebagai pelengkap alat pemasaran konvensional. Pemasaran konten digital mengacu pada proses bisnis menciptakan dan mendistribusikan informasi yang berguna, relevan, dan menarik kepada konsumen sasaran mereka melalui saluran digital. Penelitian ini ingin melihat wacana atau isi dari konten digital Rabbithole.id untuk menganalisis melalui pendekatan kualitatif bagaimana konsep marketing melalui pendekatan pengalaman personal pelanggan yang hingga kini masih sedikit menarik perhatian peneliti komunikasi dan marketing. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pemasaran konten digital memainkan peranan penting dalam menarik pelanggan, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh kreasi Rabbithole.id tentang materi konten yang berdampak secara emosional dan menonjolkan kebijaksanaan, pemilihan warna yang baik, fakta, serta kalimat positif. Selain itu, diharapkan seseorang akan menanggapi setiap komentar, dan likes serta menambah jumlah followers Instagram. Hasilnya juga menunjukkan bahwa menilai keberhasilan pemasaran konten digital secara konsisten dan menggunakan data yang diperoleh untuk meningkatkan penawaran konten memiliki dampak menguntungkan pada kemanjuran pemasaran konten. Temuan yang disajikan dalam penelitian ini memiliki potensi untuk membuat kemajuan teoritis yang signifikan dalam bidang riset pemasaran konten dan meningkatkan kemampuan praktisi untuk mengoptimalkan desain dan pelaksanaan upaya pemasaran konten digital
