ObjectivesHIV self-testing (HIVST) has been proposed as an innovative strategy to diagnose human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While HIVST offers the potential to broaden accessibility of early HIV diagnosis and treatment initiation, this testing strategy incurs additional cost and requires confirmatory testing and treatment. We have conducted the first systematic review to summarize the current economic literature for HIVST in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).DesignA search strategy was developed including key terms for HIV, self-testing and cost-effectiveness and was conducted in Medline and Embase databases. Studies were included that reported costs per outcome and included both cost-effectiveness and cost-utility outcome measures. The search strategy identified publications up until August 15, 2023 were included. Abstract and full text screening was conducted and a standardized data abstraction form was used for included studies. Costs are reported in USD, 2020.ResultsOur search strategy identified 536 total titles from the search strategy, which were screened down to 25 relevant studies that provided both cost and outcome data on HIVST. There was significant heterogeneity in the HIVST intervention, study population, costs and outcomes reported among included studies. Cost per person tested ranged from $1.09–155. Cost per case diagnosed ranged from $20–1,277. Cost-utility estimates ranged from cost-saving to $1846 per DALY averted. Higher cost-effectiveness estimates were associated with more expensive testing algorithms with increased support for linkage to care and post-test counseling.ConclusionAll studies considered HIVST cost-effective although major drivers were identified included underlying HIV prevalence, testing cost and linkage to care. HIVST is likely to be cost-effective in a LMIC context, however policy makers should be aware of the drivers of cost-effectiveness when implementing HIVST programs as these underlying factors can impact the overall cost-effectiveness of HIVST.

IntroductionEmpowerment lifestyle programs are needed to reduce the risk of hypertension. Our study compared the effectiveness of two empowerment-based approaches toward blood pressure (BP) reduction: salt reduction-specific program vs. healthy lifestyle general program.MethodsThree hundred and eleven adults (median age of 44 years, IQR 34–54 years) were randomly assigned to a salt reduction (n = 147) or a healthy lifestyle program (n = 164). The outcome measures were urinary sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) excretion, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, weight, and waist circumference.ResultsThere were no significant differences in primary and secondary outcomes between the two program groups. When comparing each program to baseline, the program focused on salt reduction was effective in lowering BP following a 12-week intervention with a mean change of −2.5 mm Hg in SBP (95% CI, −4.1 to −0.8) and − 2.7 mm Hg in DBP (95% CI, −3.8 to −1.5) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. In the complete-case (CC) analysis, the mean change was −2.1 mm Hg in SBP (95% CI, −3.7 to −0.5) and − 2.3 mm Hg in DBP (95% CI, −3.4 to −1.1). This effect increases in subjects with high-normal BP or hypertension [SBP − 7.9 mm Hg (95% CI, −12.5 to −3.3); DBP − 7.3 mm Hg (95% CI, −10.2 to −4.4)]. The healthy lifestyle group also exhibited BP improvements after 12 weeks; however, the changes were less pronounced compared to the salt reduction group and were observed only for DBP [mean change of −1.5 mm Hg (95% CI, −2.6 to −0.4) in ITT analysis and − 1.4 mm Hg (95% CI, −2.4 to −0.3) in CC analysis, relative to baseline]. Overall, improvements in Na+/K+ ratio, weight, and Mediterranean diet adherence resulted in clinically significant SBP decreases. Importantly, BP reduction is attributed to improved dietary quality, rather than being solely linked to changes in the Na+/K+ ratio.ConclusionSalt-focused programs are effective public health tools mainly in managing individuals at high risk of hypertension. Nevertheless, in general, empowerment-based approaches are important strategies for lowering BP, by promoting health literacy that culminates in adherence to the Mediterranean diet and weight reduction.

Objectives: This paper describes trends in youth e-cigarette (EC) and tobacco cigarette (TC) purchasing behaviors in Canada, England, and the United States (US) in relationship to changing minimum legal age (MLA) laws.Methods: Data are from eight cross-sectional online surveys among national samples of 16- to 19-year-olds in Canada, England, and the US conducted from 2017 to 2022 (N = 104,467). Average wave percentage change in EC and TC purchasing prevalence and purchase locations were estimated using Joinpoint regressions.Results: EC purchasing increased between 2017 and 2022, although the pattern of change differed by country. EC purchasing plateaued in 2019 for the US and in 2020 for Canada, while increasing through 2022 for England. TC purchasing declined sharply in the US, with purchasing from traditional retail locations declining, while purchasing from social sources increased. Vape shops were the most common location for EC purchasing, although declining in England and the US.Conclusion: Trends in EC and TC purchasing trends in the US are consistent with the expected impact of the federal MLA law increasing the legal age to 21 years in December 2019.

The field of team role typologies and taxonomies is characterized by a lack of conceptual clarity and dominance of a single primary source. This study aims to shed light on the relationships between authors of team role typologies/taxonomies by conducting a systematic literature analysis. The focus is on analyzing authors listed in articles specifically addressing team roles. The resulting analysis provides a list of authors of typologies or taxonomies of team roles as a preparation for further phases of our research. The methodology employed involves a literature review. The selection of articles was based on the Scopus database, with additional searches conducted on publisher websites and ResearchGate to ensure comprehensive coverage. Advanced lexical search software facilitated the identification of authors associated with typologies and taxonomies. The study presents a waypoint list of probably relevant authors for further analysis. Furthermore, the potential of AI tools in literature review and the use of applications for creating schematic maps based on bibliographic records are discussed, with a promise of further investigation in future studies. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive summary of authors involved in the development of team role typologies and taxonomies, providing a foundation for future research to validate and expand upon the identified author relationships. It emphasizes the need to explore the diverse approaches in this field, while also recognizing the significant influence of seminal figures such as M. Belbin. By unraveling the complexities of author relationships, this study paves the way for deeper insights into team dynamics and roles within organizations.

Published: November 2023

Ensuring dignified care for needy populations worldwide is a collective responsibility that transcends geographical and environmental conditions. Modern entrepreneurs and businesses should incorporate social responsibility into their core objectives and success plans, recognizing the influence of underprivileged communities on their operations. However, not all organizations possess the internal capacity to actively practice social responsibility due to factors such as business type or staff profile. Consequently, many companies support other institutions dedicated to social causes, viewing it as a business opportunity that can yield modest profits. This article presents a case study of Diagnext.com, a small company that has devoted 14 years to technological innovation in digital health and has made significant contributions to public healthcare. Their initiatives have had a remarkable impact on the Amazon Rainforest's remote populations, including indigenous communities and river dwellers, facilitating hundreds of thousands of medical consultations annually. The case study aims to understand the main factors that drove Diagnext.com's promoters to invest their knowledge in social innovation and how they are proactively building their future. Key aspects explored include the leadership profile of Diagnext.com, ethical and sustainability concerns, transparency, and social responsibility. By analyzing these factors, the article highlights the importance of integrating social responsibility into business practices and the positive outcomes that can be achieved through technological innovation in addressing the healthcare needs of underprivileged populations.

Abstrak
Banjir Kota Sorong dapat terjadi akibat debit hujan yang tinggi di daerah kota namun system drainase yang tidak baik membuat air hanya tergenang dalam wilayah pemukiman dan perkotaan. Selain itu dapat terjadi Banjir Kiriman dari luar kota Sorong akibat hujan terjadi di daerah Hulu, namun Mesin Pengatur Tata Air Alami yaitu Hutan tidak berfungsi dengan baik sehingga terjadi pengingkatan limpasan aliran permukaan (Run Off) yang besar masuk ke dalam sungai-sungai mengalir mencari tempat-tempat yang lebih rendah di daerah hulu sampai hilir di perkotaan maupun daerah-daerah sekitar aliran sungai mengakibatkan banyak korban harta benda dan jiwa. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui sebaran daerah rawan bencana banjir di Kota Sorong serta menentukan tingkat ketangguhan Kota Sorong terhadap ancaman banjir. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis likert untuk mengukur tingkat ketangguhan dan analisis spasial untuk menghasilkan peta-peta mengenai pola persebaran fasilitas kesehatan dan perdagangan jasa yang menjadi mitigasi dalam ketangguhan wilayah terhadap bencana banjir. Hasil dari kedua analisis tersebut dapat menunjukkan seberapa tangguh wilayah Kota Sorong dalam menghadapi bencana banjir.
