Authors: Ludenyo Geoffrey S. , Shitseswa Ayub E. 
Published: October 2024

Efficient implementation of policies has a crucial function in improving service delivery in the public and private domains. The success of policy execution directly impacts how much the policy contributes to enhancing service delivery. To achieve high-quality, efficient, and timely service delivery, the Directorate has adopted a strategy of revamping, retooling, and continuous learning. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) follows the Excellence Charter and adheres to the ODPP Strategic Commitments for the period 2020-2023. In this context, the researcher focused on examining the impact of human resource policy implementation on service delivery at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Western Region, Kenya. Implementation Theory and Organizational Culture Theory guided the study. Descriptive research design was utilized. The target population was 198 individuals working within the ODPP Western Region of Kenya. Individual respondents were selected randomly from Legal, Administration, and Support Staff in region. Data collection was done through questionnaires distributed to staff and document analysis was conducted in the resource centres available in the region. Face-to-face interviews with selected County Heads were carried out by the researcher. Descriptive statistics, such as means, percentages, and frequencies, was used in the research's quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyze the data using SPSS. The findings indicated that human resource has a significant impact on service delivery at the ODPP, Western Region, Kenya. The results upon Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) established human resource policy implementation had an r of 0.265, β = 0.252, t= 3.786, p= 0.05. It was concluded that Policy Implementation had a statistically significant impact on service delivery in the ODPP. The study recommends that ODPP should enhance HR policy implementation and service delivery in the Western Region by improving communication, offering regular training, fostering open dialogue, establishing a robust monitoring framework, deploying dedicated HR Officers, and ensuring transparent and unbiased career progression and training opportunities. The study will be part of references materials for all ODPP Staff, stakeholders, policy makers and other institutions in Kenya as an insightful tool in advancement of efficacy and efficiency in policy implementation.
Combining low- and high-frequency microwave radiometer measurements from the MOSAiC expedition for enhanced water vapour products
Authors: Walbröl Andreas , Griesche Hannes J. , Mech Mario , Crewell Susanne , Ebell Kerstin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract. In the central Arctic, high-quality water vapour observations are sparse due to the low density of meteorological stations and uncertainties in satellite remote sensing. Different reanalyses also disagree on the amount of water vapour in the central Arctic. The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition provides comprehensive observations that are suitable for evaluating satellite products and reanalyses. Radiosonde observations provide high-quality water vapour estimates with a high vertical but a low temporal resolution. Observations from the microwave radiometers (MWRs) on board the research vessel Polarstern complement these observations through high temporal resolution. In this study, we demonstrate the high accuracy of the combination of the two MWRs HATPRO (Humidity and Temperature Profiler) and MiRAC-P (Microwave Radiometer for Arctic Clouds – Passive). For this purpose, we developed new retrievals of integrated water vapour (IWV) and profiles of specific humidity and temperature using a neural network approach, including observations from both HATPRO and MiRAC-P to utilize their different water vapour sensitivity. The retrievals were trained with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis version 5 (ERA5) and synthetic MWR observations simulated with the Passive and Active Microwave radiative TRAnsfer tool (PAMTRA). We applied the retrievals to synthetic and real observations and evaluated them with ERA5 and radiosondes launched during MOSAiC, respectively. To assess the benefit of the combination of HATPRO and MiRAC-P compared to single MWR retrievals, we compared the errors with respect to MOSAiC radiosondes and computed the vertical information content of the specific humidity profiles. The root mean squared error (RMSE) of IWV was reduced by up to 15 %. Specific humidity biases and RMSE were reduced by up to 75 % and 50 %, respectively. The vertical information content of specific humidity could be increased from 1.7 to 2.4 degrees of freedom. We also computed relative humidity from the retrieved temperature and specific humidity profiles and found that RMSE was reduced from 45 % to 15 %. Finally, we show a case study demonstrating the enhanced humidity profiling capabilities compared to the standard HATPRO-based retrievals. The vertical resolution of the retrieved specific humidity profiles is still low compared to radiosondes, but the case study revealed the potential to resolve major humidity inversions. To what degree the MWR combination detects humidity inversions, also compared to satellites and reanalyses, will be part of future work.

Published: October 2024

Left main stem disease is a severe condition affecting a major coronary artery, traditionally treated with coronary artery bypass grafting. Recent advancements in percutaneous coronary intervention have made it a viable option, particularly for women who face unique risks and outcomes compared to men. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention for left main stem disease in female patients, focusing on procedural outcomes and changes in laboratory parameters before and after the intervention. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted from January to July 2024 with 68 female patients, aged 18 and above, from Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi. Various percutaneous coronary intervention techniques were used, and data on ejection fractions, access methods, and procedural specifics were collected. Pre- and post-procedural laboratory outcomes including haemoglobin, creatinine, platelet counts, and alanine aminotransferase levels were analyzed. Results: The mean age of participants was 63.6 years. Diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were common comorbidities. Laboratory results showed stable haemoglobin levels, slight increases in creatinine, and consistent platelet counts and ALT levels post-procedure. Statistical analysis revealed no significant changes in these parameters, indicating minimal impact on anaemia, renal function, and platelet or liver function. Conclusion: percutaneous coronary intervention for the left main stem in females generally results in stable laboratory outcomes with minimal impact on anaemia, renal function, and platelet or liver function. The procedure is safe with a low mortality rate. Continuous monitoring is recommended to manage any potential complications effectively.
De l’hygiénisme à la santé environnementale, regards sur la ville
Authors: Barles Sabine 
Published: October 2024

L’hygiénisme naît à la fin du xviiie siècle en Europe dans un contexte de néo-hippocratisme : les milieux jouent un rôle essentiel dans la pensée médicale – le sol parce qu’il est corrompu, l’air parce qu’il véhicule les miasmes délétères, le climat et les météores parce que la constitution atmosphérique affecte la constitution humaine. Un consensus émerge, non seulement chez les médecins mais aussi dans la communauté scientifique et intellectuelle, selon lequel la conservation de la santé passe par une rectification du milieu. Ce discours est particulièrement développé en ce qui concerne les villes, frappées de surmortalité. Il conduit les médecins à penser la ville saine : une ville ouverte, dotée de rues larges, droites et imperméables, de trottoirs, d’une eau propre qui lave, l’eau sale étant évacuée au plus vite, de cheminées bien disposées pour l’évacuation des fumées, de laquelle les activités insalubres ont été éloignées ou au moins isolées, où la végétation point trop abondante pour ne pas favoriser l’humidité contribue au renouvellement de l’air. Cette rectification du milieu est intense au xixe siècle et se poursuit pendant une bonne partie du suivant. Cependant, la médecine s’est éloignée de ses bases environnementales et de ses préoccupations mésologiques. L’hygiène extérieure est progressivement devenue affaire de techniciens, d’ingénieurs, d’hydrologues, d’aménageurs qui ont mis en œuvre le projet des médecins néo-hippocratiques. La disparition de la surmortalité urbaine au tournant des xixe et xxe siècles parachève le tableau : au xxe siècle, la médecine n’a plus besoin d’être environnementale dans les pays développés et tempérés. Ce n’est qu’à la fin du siècle dernier que l’identification d’une nouvelle surmortalité urbaine et l’identification de cas de morbidité par le milieu conduit le corps médical à repenser le milieu extérieur.
La biosurveillance végétale de la qualité de l'air se normalise
Authors: Louis-Rose Sébastien , Galsomiès Laurence 
Published: October 2024

Bien qu’étudiée depuis plusieurs décennies, la bio surveillance dans le domaine de l’air en France voyait son utilisation limitée principalement à des fins de recherche. Les différentes réglementations en vigueur n’ont par ailleurs jamais vraiment reconnu la biosurveillance de l’air comme outil utile à leur mise en œuvre. La mise en place d’une démarche de normalisation est donc apparue nécessaire pour assurer la diffusion de ces méthodes issues des laboratoires de recherche vers les opérateurs de la surveillance de la qualité de l’air. La France s’est ainsi dotée en 2008 de quatre premières normes de biosurveillance de l’air, grâce aux efforts consensuels menés au sein de la commission de normalisation AFNOR/T95AIR qui regroupe toutes les parties intéressées par ce domaine. Toujours active, cette commission travaille depuis 2008 à l’élaboration de trois nouvelles normes françaises, alors que la normalisation de la biosurveillance de l’air atteint une nouvelle échelle en devenant européenne avec les travaux du Comité Européen de Normalisation, CEN : d’ici 2013, il est prévu que soient publiées quatre normes européennes de biosurveillance de la qualité de l’air.
Research on the impact of WTO trade policy review mechanism (TPRM) on the employability of Chinese college students during the economic structural transformation of its member countries
Authors: Yang Haixia 
Published: October 2024

The WTO TPRM is a very important machinery where the WTO members submit for evaluation their trade policies and structures as well as their economic reforms. This research used secondary evidence from employment reports, government statistics and various industry research and employed expert policy and economic opinion. It analyses employment rates prior to and after the implementation of the “mass entrepreneurship and mass innovation” policy and the policy of integrated enterprise-school and university-enterprise. In total, the general sample consists of 500 students half of whom are male and the other half are female. The employment rates stands at an average of 78% among the students. In terms of the standard deviation, the figure is equal to 9.3% which he described as moderate variability of employment outcomes. . Similarly the analysis reveals a positive relationship between GPA, entrepreneurial intention and participation in vocational programs on employability ( p < 0. 001). The coefficient for entrepreneurial intention is especially significant (β = 0. 38), which means that students, who had entrepreneurial intentions, are more likely to be employed. Employment prospects for college students were found to be especially enhanced through adoption of the above policies showing a very strong implication of education and training to economic needs especially during structural change. This study has implication for policy formation and course offering for higher institutions of learning to enhance the employment status of graduates in the current world economy.

Property crimes in rural municipalities
Criminologists, also in the Netherlands, traditionally focus their research primarily on urban areas. This, however, does not imply that rural areas are not confronted with crime problems. This paper first addresses the question what in the Dutch context should be understood by the term rural and then analyses property crimes in rural municipalities and local teams of the National Police. The paper is based on public data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the police. The findings replicate results of previous research which concluded that urbanisation is an important factor in explaining crime rates, which are generally lower in non-urban areas. This does, however, not imply that all types of property crime occur less in every individual rural municipality or police team. Some rural municipalities and non-urban police teams seem more susceptible to this than others, and further research is required to explain these differences.

Published: October 2024

Embora o uso da chamada telemedicina tenha sido estimulado por conta dos reveses da Covid-19, ainda existem no Brasil obstáculos que impedem uma expansão desta vertente de atendimento na área da saúde. O estudo apresenta como objetivo geral analisar sobre a aplicabilidade da telemedicina na saúde mental. No que tange a metodologia, optou-se pela prática de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, em bases de dados como SciELO, LILACS e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde – BVS. O recorte temporal adotado foi entre os anos de 2019 e 2024. Os resultados apontaram que há casos em que a telemedicina foi adotada com sucesso no período mais agudo da pandemia de Covid-19, sendo a continuidade dos teleatendimentos em saúde mental recomendada pelos estudos encontrados na literatura. Há também casos em que a telessaúde foi implementada para cuidar dos profissionais de saúde, os quais no cenário pandêmico se viram diante de um cenário desafiador e estressante de trabalho. O estudo conclui que, embora a telemedicina não substitua por completo os atendimentos presenciais, o seu fortalecimento é necessário para que mais pessoas tenham acesso a serviços de saúde. Soma-se a isso a necessidade de melhora quanto a infraestrutura tecnológica, segurança tanto para os dados como também para os médicos em relação a questões éticas envoltas na prática destes atendimentos.
Nuevo desafío del MINSAL a 100 Años de su creación: el sistema de cuidados de largo plazo para personas mayores
Authors: Urriola Urbina Rafael 
Published: October 2024

Este documento tiene por objeto destacar los nuevos desafíos del Ministerio de Salud (Minsal) en el siglo XXI, especialmente relacionados con el concepto de “salud en todas las políticas” que se expresan en la intersectorialidad de las intervenciones para lograr mayor eficiencia. Esto potencia la relación de las actividades de salud con la seguridad social. Esto se ejemplifica con el sistema de cuidados de largo plazo (CLP). Las funciones del Minsal se han desarrollado incrementalmente en la historia.
En la segunda parte se presenta lo que debiese ser un sistema de CLP para personas mayores (PM) en Chile: se ha hecho una revisión bibliográfica internacional importante para rescatar soluciones, especialmente financieras, para concurrir a la asistencia a las personas que necesitan de CLP. El desafío es de gran envergadura y algunos países han debido postergar o reducir objetivos.
Se concluye que la atención a las PM que necesitan CLP no son solo sanitarios y requieren una coordinación de diversas instancias del sistema público y municipal para lograr mayor eficiencia en el bienestar de la población. Asimismo, los recursos necesarios son muy superiores a lo que hoy se dispone para los CLP.
