Authors: Charles Chukwudalu  Ebulue  , Ogochukwu Roseline  Ebulue  , Chukwunonso Sylvester  Ekesiobi  
Published: April 2024

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a crucial mechanism for fostering innovation in the health sector globally. This review encapsulates the lessons learned from diverse PPP models worldwide, highlighting their significance and impact. PPPs in healthcare innovation entail collaboration between governmental bodies, private enterprises, and sometimes non-profit organizations to address challenges, such as limited resources, expertise, and infrastructure, while leveraging the strengths of each sector. The success of PPPs relies on effective governance structures, clear objectives, and mutual accountability. One notable example is the United Kingdom's NHS Innovation Accelerator, which partners with industry leaders to fast-track the adoption of innovative healthcare technologies within the National Health Service (NHS). Through this initiative, pioneering solutions, ranging from digital health platforms to medical devices, have been implemented, enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. Similarly, in low-resource settings like sub-Saharan Africa, PPPs have played a pivotal role in improving access to essential healthcare services. Projects such as the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) collaborate with pharmaceutical companies, governments, and research institutions to develop affordable antimalarial drugs tailored to the region's needs. In the realm of medical research and development, partnerships like the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) have demonstrated the power of international collaboration in addressing global health threats. CEPI brings together governments, philanthropic organizations, and the private sector to expedite the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases, as witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, challenges persist in PPP implementation, including complex regulatory frameworks, funding uncertainties, and divergent interests among stakeholders. Lessons from successful PPPs underscore the importance of transparent communication, stakeholder engagement, and sustained political commitment. In conclusion, PPPs in the health sector represent a dynamic avenue for catalyzing innovation and driving transformative change. By drawing insights from diverse experiences worldwide, policymakers and practitioners can refine existing frameworks and foster sustainable partnerships to tackle evolving health challenges effectively.

Disaster Risk Reduction Initiatives in Road Transportation of Petroleum Products
Authors: Oguntoyinbo Oladapo , China Samuel , Obiri John 
Published: April 2024

There has been an alarming increase in disasters during road transport of petroleum products across Africa. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), there is a requirement for transporters in the petroleum industry to adopt DRR initiatives. This paper presents DRR techniques transporters can adopt to minimize road tanker accidents that lead to disasters. The study focuses on Kenya, but has implications for the entire continent. A survey was carried out via questionnaires, using random sampling, with a sample size of 391 tanker drivers, who worked for different transporters. The questionnaire included a request for the name of the transporter each tanker driver worked for. Out of the 391 respondents, 318 drivers specified the transporters they worked for. The study classified the transporters into 3 categories, based on the number of road tankers in their fleet. The performances of the different categories of transporters were analysed using data of accidents and spills incurred by their tanker drivers. The findings identified compliance management as a key factor to minimising accidents during road transportation of petroleum products. Managers within the transporters’ organizations should be charged with the responsibility of educating tanker drivers about the importance of compliance with driving safety rules. The study recommends adoption of in-cabin on-board computers (OBC) as a tool that can be used in a proactive manner to monitor compliance by tanker drivers and prevent road accidents. Improvement in effectiveness of transporters’ organizations, recruitment, training and retention of suitably qualified and well-trained drivers will lead to reduction in accidents and disasters in the industry. The effectiveness of defensive driving training for tanker drivers was reviewed and the predominant perception confirmed its contributions to enhancement of road safety awareness within the industry.
Artificial Intelligence Techniques Applied to Control and Identify Parameters in variable DOF Robotic Manipulators for Industrial Automation
Authors: K.Rajavelu  
Published: April 2024

An industrial robot manipulator must be able to translate its static collection of joint angles into position coordinates before calculating the end effect's appropriate positioning with forward kinematics.A robotic manipulator has now become an integral part of industrial automation, greatly reducing the need for human labour, increasing the accuracy of work as well as reducing the time required to accomplish tasks.Each rotation must be controlled using servomotor feedback. MATLAB® Robotics Toolbox is used to verify the kinematic model for the activation of three revolving joints.The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of an end-effect-based DC servomotor platform with intelligent controller for five degrees of freedom (5-DOF). A DenavitHarterberg (DH) representation was used to model forward and inverse kinematics. PID controllers with fuzzy logic are used to implement various blurring strategies. Simulated results from MATLAB show that PID produces better transient parameters than a conventional PID.Compared to the Fuzzy logic controller, PID has a better overshoot performance than FLC and both controllers can achieve the desired output when subjected to steady state responses, although FLC outperforms PID.

Authors: Dawami Tamymatur Roudhatud , Pestariati Pestariati , Arifin Syamsul 
Published: April 2024

Background: Worm infections can occur in humans throughout the world regardless of age and attack children's health. This statement encouraged researchers to do this in Tengket Village, where most guardians ignore their children's PBHS and latrines in rivers around residents' houses cause worm infections. More than 1.5billion people, or 24% of the world's population, are infected with soil-borne worms. That are transmitted through the soil are also called nematodes of the STH class. Objectives: The study aimed to identify STH intestinal nematode eggs in children in Tengket Village, Arosbaya, Bangkalan. Materials and Methods: The method used is flotation using NaCl reagent with the principle of different specific gravity so the parasites in the feces will be floated on the surface. The floatation method is able to produce a clean field of view and an easy procedure, thereby minimizing false positives and false negatives. Results: The research was carried out in February 2023 and the results obtained were that 9 out of 30 children's feces samples tested positive for worms. The positive results in the samples could be due to river latrines still being used and the spread occurring due to lack of attention to PHBS. Conclusions: Based on the research results, the percentage of worms has increased.

Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION: The first COVID-19 wave (2020), W1, will remain extraordinary due to its novelty and the uncertainty on how to handle the pandemic. To understand what physicians went through, we collected narratives of frontline physicians working in a Swiss university hospital during W1.
METHODS: Physicians in the Division of Internal Medicine of Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) were invited to send anonymous narratives to an online platform, between 28 April and 30 June 2020. The analysed material consisted of 13 written texts and one audio record. They were examined by means of a narrative analysis based on a holistic content approach, attempting to identify narrative highlights, referred to as foci, in the texts.
RESULTS: Five main foci were identified: danger and threats, acquisition of knowledge and practices, adaptation to a changing context, commitment to the profession, and sense of belonging to the medical staff. In physicians’ narratives, danger designated a variety of rather negative feelings and emotions, whereas threats were experienced as being dangerous for others, but also for oneself. The acquisition of knowledge and practices focus referred to the different types of acquisition that took place during W1. The narratives that focused on adaptation reflected how physicians coped with W1 and private or professional upheavals. COVID-19 W1 contributed to revealing a natural commitment (or not) of physicians towards the profession and patients, accompanied by the concern of offering the best possible care to all. Lastly, sense of belonging referred to the team and its reconfiguration during W1.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study deepens the understanding of how physicians experienced the pandemic both in their professional and personal settings. It offers insights into how they prepared and reacted to a pandemic. The foci reflect topics that are inherent to a physician’s profession, whatever the context. During a pandemic, these foundational elements are particularly challenged. Strikingly, these topics are not studied in medical school, thus raising the general question of how students are prepared for the medical profession.
