ObjectivesDuring the COVID-19 home-quarantines, home care services may act as an auxiliary component of health care system, which reduces the burden on the formal health care system. This study aimed to investigate the status of informal home care provided for home quarantined patients with COVID-19 in southwest Iran.MethodsThis descriptive study was conducted on 288 patients with COVID-19 in Ahvaz (southwest Iran). Inclusion criteria included a known case of COVID-19, willingness to participate in the study, recommendation of home quarantine from a health center, having a smartphone, and fluency in reading and writing in Persian, and the exclusion criterion was a history of COVID-19 longer than 3 months. The data collection method was structured interviews based on a questionnaire (face-to-face-telephone calls-video call). SPSS software was used for the analysis of data.Results45.5% of the participants in the study were women with a mean age of 37.82 (10.48%) and 55.5% were men with a mean age of 36.12 (11.93%). Findings showed that in most cases, the spouse (61.4) is responsible for the care of the patient, and in other cases, parents are responsible for this duty. 57.3% of the patients stated that they themselves had to leave home to provide for necessities of life, and 37.2% stated that they were in charge of cooking. 47.9% of the patients evaluated the quality of quality of care provided at home as good. Most of patients and caregivers referred to hospital for getting information (35.8% patients and 34% caregivers). Most of patients recovered from diseases (60.8%) and 39.2% were hospitalized. Although 43.9% of men and 33.6% of women were hospitalized and a there was a significant difference between men and women (P &lt; 0.04).ConclusionDuring COVID-19 pandemic home care to reduce the burden on the health system are very important. We must also know that this type of care requires informed and planned support and sufficient community education. The health care system needs to put self-care and family care among its top priorities. The focus should be on educational and mental support of informal caregivers along with measures that protect their relatives from COVID-19.

Authors: Wang Yuan , Zhu Yueqi , Qi Caiyun , Li Lu 
Published: September 2022

BackgroundChina has launched a large “toilet revolution” in rural areas, but the results show that sanitation has not always been markedly improved. Few scholars have paid attention to this issue, and the list of the reasons is scattered and incomplete.MethodUsing the qualitative research method, this study interviewed seven village cadres and 39 villagers in three villages of Jiaozuo City to examine the implementation barriers to rural toilet retrofitting (RTR) projects in China.ResultsUsing the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation approach, the research has found that: (a) unreasonable standards and objectives fail to incorporate local conditions and improve the actual quality; (b) lack of capital and human resources cannot renovate new toilets; (c) uncoordinated inter-organizational communication and enforcement activities by top-down mechanism lead to policy implementers and target groups' dissatisfaction with the policy; (d) weak and unenthusiastic, inadequate implementing agencies, reduce their working ability; (e) inappropriate economic, social and political conditions impede the villagers' acceptance; and (f) an attitude of passive acceptance by the implementers reduce the working motivation.ConclusionTo improve sanitation in rural China, it is necessary to solve the six barriers. The findings of this study can provide recommendations and guidance for implementing the RTR and related public health policies.

BackgroundPower is exercised everywhere in global health, although its presence may be more apparent in some instances than others. Studying power is thus a core concern of researchers and practitioners working in health policy and systems research (HPSR), an interdisciplinary, problem-driven field focused on understanding and strengthening multilevel systems and policies. This paper aims to conduct a power analysis as mobilized by the actors involved in implementation of the polio program. It will also reflect how different power categories are exerted by actors and embedded in strategies to combat program implementation challenges while planning and executing the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.MethodsWe collected quantitative and qualitative data from stakeholders who were part of the Polio universe as a part of Synthesis and Translation of Research and Innovations from the Polio Eradication Project. Key informants were main actors of the polio eradication program, both at the national and sub-national levels. Research tools were designed to explore the challenges, strategies and unintended consequences in implementing the polio eradication program in India. We utilized Moon's expanded typology of power in global governance to analyze the implementation of the polio eradication programme in India.ResultsWe collected 517 survey responses and conducted 25 key informant interviews. Understanding power is increasingly recognized as an essential parameter to understand global governance and health. Stakeholders involved during polio program implementation have exerted different kinds of power from structural to discursive, moral power wielded by religious leaders to institutional power, expert power used by professional doctors to commoners like female vaccinators, and network power exercised by community influencers. Hidden power was also demonstrated by powerless actors like children bringing mothers to polio booths.ConclusionPower is not a finite resource, and it can be used, shared, or created by stakeholders and networks in multiple ways. Those people who seem to be powerless possess invisible power that can influence decision making. Moreover, these power categories are not mutually exclusive and may be deeply interconnected with each other; one type of power can be transformed into another. Power and relations play an important role in influencing the decision-making of the community and individuals. Mid-range theories of core implementation science like PARIHAS and CFIR can also add an important variable of power in their construct necessary for implementation success of any health program.

Objectives: The personal impact of COVID-19 on mental health care workers (MHWs) has received scarce attention despite their work addressing the emotional wellbeing of those affected by the pandemic. This study aims to analyze Latin American and Caribbean’s MHWs’ subjective impact in connection to working during the initial times of the pandemic.Methods: One hundred and fifty-five persons (n = 155) from seventeen countries were contacted in May–June 2020 through a snowball approach. Complementary methodological strategies of analysis used for data triangulation included content analysis, thematic analysis, and interpretative phenomenological analysis.Results: Participants reported feelings of fear, anxiety, anguish, and fatigue. Milder negative impacts (e.g., uncertainty, concern), and complex feelings (e.g., ambivalence) were also frequent. One third of participants acknowledged their capacity to learn from this situation and/or experience satisfaction.Conclusion: Mental health of MHWs in Latin America and the Caribbean were under severe strain and the ongoing mental health reforms at risk during the pandemic’s beginning. More research and additional care may be needed to offer support to those involved in caring for the wellbeing of others.

Published: September 2022

A Educação é um direito fundamental que ajuda não só no desenvolvimento de um País, mas também de cada indivíduo. Partindo dessa premissa, o presente estudo tem como principal objetivo o desenvolvimento de práticas educativas que promovam o empoderamento dos pacientes e assim melhorar a capacidade dos mesmos em compreender e gerir sua própria saúde e doença. Baseado no Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente, desenvolvido pelo Ministério da Saúde brasileiro, criou-se um material educativo veiculado por meio de animação em linguagem acessível, a fim de tornar mais eficaz a interação entre paciente e profissional de saúde, além de promover conhecimentos acerca do seu tratamento dentro da instituição hospitalar. Os seis atributos desenvolvidos pelo programa reúnem questões de grande relevância, visto que situações de risco associadas ao cuidado de saúde e em particular os eventos adversos, representam uma elevada morbidade e mortalidade no sistema de saúde. O empoderamento de seus usuários, como preocupação de operadoras de saúde, além de estar em consonância com a Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS), órgão responsável pela sua fiscalização, está ainda realizando um autoinvestimento, vez que o conhecimento promovido auxilia na qualificação dos serviços de saúde e permite efetiva garantia da assistência em conformidade com os parâmetros que minimizem riscos e atendam efetivamente a necessidade dos pacientes.

Published: September 2022

Objetivo: identificar na produção científica aspectos relacionados às percepções das mulheres sobre a assistência ao parto normal. Método: revisão integrativa com buscas realizadas nas bases de dados SciELO e LILACS, utilizando os descritores: percepção, mulheres, parto normal. A amostra correspondeu a 11 artigos científicos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Resultados: o conteúdo desses estudos foi organizado em dois temas: Assistência ao parto normal fragilizada e impositiva, Assistência ao parto normal segura e promotora da autonomia da mulher. Esses temas retratam que a assistência ao parto normal foi percebida de diferentes formas pelas mulheres, com reconhecimento de aspectos envolvidos no cuidado qualificado e humanizado e de aspectos que fragilizam a assistência à mulher. Considerações finais: o estudo aponta que para uma satisfatória atenção ao parto normal é necessário compreendê-lo como um evento fisiológico, sendo a mulher capaz de conduzir o processo, devendo receber cuidado e não controle. Assim, para garantir a qualidade da atenção a todas as parturientes, de modo equânime, são necessários investimentos nas políticas de saúde, na formação dos profissionais de saúde, na educação permanente, em estratégias de gestão da rede de atenção e em ações de educação em saúde.

Ion bombardment-induced defect reduction at a-Si:H/c-Si interfaces: possible microstructural changes and mobile hydrogen roles
Authors: Nunomura Shota , Sakata Isao 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
A beneficial effect of argon (Ar) ion bombardment for crystalline silicon (c-Si) surface passivation has been studied. Experiments of an Ar plasma treatment over an hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layer grown on c-Si are performed, where an a-Si:H layer is prepared at different levels of defect density. Interestingly, the c-Si surface passivation is improved by an Ar plasma treatment for a defect-rich, i.e. low-quality, a-Si:H layer, while it is deteriorated by the treatment for a low-defect, i.e. high-quality, a-Si:H layer. The improvement of passivation is discussed in terms of microstructural changes of a-Si:H, associated with redistribution of hydrogen, where mobile hydrogens play an important role.

ФІЗИКА АСПЕКТІВ ГЕРМЕТИЧНОСТІ ОБСАДНИХ ТРУБ ЗА УМОВ ГЛИБОКОГО БУРІННЯ
Authors: Чернова Мирослава 
Published: September 2022

Зі збільшенням глибин буріння значно підвищуються пластові тиски і температура, що вимагає удосконалення техніки і технології кріплення свердловин. З аналізу статистичних даних слідує, що аварії з обсадними колонами при будівництві нафтових і газових свердловин становлять приблизно 10% від загального числа аварій.
Під час експлуатації обсадних труб в умовах підвищених значень температури і тиску в глибоких свердловинах на елементи муфтового з’єднання діють значні статичні, динамічні навантаження, термоциклічні напруження, що призводять до пружних та пластичних деформацій ділянок муфти, труби та ущільнюючих елементів, які впливають на герметичність та довговічність обсадних та теплонагнітальних колон.
В статті проводиться аналіз основних особливостей герметизації елементів обсадних колон з точки зору їх міцнісних характеристик. Зокрема розглянуто різьбові з’єднання, що продукуються за відомими стандартами нафтогазової промисловості.
На основі запропонованої моделі моментної теорії тонкостінних колових оболонок подано співвідношення для розрахунку пружно-деформованого стану конічної частини герметизуючого елементу, який повністю визначається радіальним натягом на конічних ущільнюючих поверхнях.

Published: September 2022

<p>In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have completely changed the field of machine learning, especially computer vision. The Spike Neural Network (SNN) is biologically more realistic than ANN. It is more hardware-friendly and energy-efficient, and suitable for running on portable devices with weak computing performance. In this paper we aim to classify several Chinese character images based on SNN. The input image is preprocessed by traditional methods (OpenCV) and then it is input into the trained spike neural network to classify the characters. Different hyperparameters configurations are tested reaching an optimal configuration and a classification accuracy rate of 93%. </p>
