Year: 2008

description: In European society very important changes have occurred in recent decades. They brought different health problems. Different interventions were developed in order to preserve health in the society. Health promotion has proved to be one of the most important tools in this field. Implementation of health promotion is not possible without radical changes in approach to and method of work. As this is the case of intervention in several social subsystems, the project method is considered the most adequate tool for implementation of health promotion in organisations. Institutes of Public Health have, due to their role in the society of today, developed various kind of knowledge and skills to facilitate the implementation of project work. They are closely connected with several social subsystems so they stand a real chance of undertaking the role of project co-ordinators in health promotion. The benefits, gained by the institutes of public health through taking part in health promotion projects, will not only be those reflected in broader social community and other organisations. The new working methods will, above all, find their most rapid and positive expression in the very same institutes i.e. in the process of performing their regular professional tasks.

description: The dramatic social and economic changes that have taken place in the past two decades in SEE, have caused the existing inequalities in health to grow even bigger, not only between but also within the countries in the region. Backed up with the national health statistics, which gives a stark illustration of the effect of economic crisis and reveals a growing health divide, the issue is recognized to deserve greater attention; the once strong and sole focus of the health services to offer better care, newer treatments and more effective drugs, in the contemporary society requires to be accompanied with the much wider scope of needs of the modern patient - including more complex social interaction, better access to information through a multitude of sources, etc. The added complexity of the interactions in the health system where both patient and the doctor play a crucial role deserves much attention if we are aimed at reducing the inequality, socio-medical and ethical disparities.

Year: 2008

description: WHO policy “Health for all” defines ten global goals and one of them is relating to health care quality: “Improvement of comprehensive high quality health care”. There are numerous definitions of health care and WHO defines it as “the level where delivered health care achieves the best results establishing the balance between the risk and benefit within specified economic conditions”. Basic dimensions of quality are equality, relevance, accessibility, acceptability, effectiveness and efficiency. Motives for establishing the system of quality in health care are professional, socio-economical, patients’ satisfaction, and the final and the most important at the same time – improvement of population health. Modern concept of quality means implementation of TQM (Total Quality Management) and CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) that represent managing strategies whose main steps are managing consciousness, strategic planning, management implementation and training of employees. Principles are that patients’ needs, opinions and experience are the important information in permanent improvement of quality, that it has to be integrated part of everyday work, that all employees in the system of health care have professional responsibility according to permanent improvement of quality and particular responsibility have managers at all levels in health institution, that permanent improvement of quality means positive approach to work and that all activities should be based on data and information not on assumptions. Significant parameter of quality is also patients’ satisfaction, which is defined by WHO as “the level when the health system has satisfied patients’ expectations”. One of the approaches in management and explicit measuring of quality is also accreditation and its purpose is improvement of quality, gaining of information and responsibility.

Effectiveness, Efficiency and Equity

Publisher: name: Programmes for Training on Research in Public Health for South Eastern Europe
Year: 2008

description: Health is perceived as most precious good, and people feel its vulnerability. Societies have been trying to absorb, ameliorate or compensate consequences and health risks with varying emphasis and varying success. Due to the uniqueness of good health to a persons’ ability to live the life he or she wants, health care and performance of health care systems are under critical observation. In this context many discussions swivel around ethics, justice, equity, equality and fairness, very often using these notions interchangeably. Sometimes they are used as arguments to challenge every economic consideration by claiming “the freedom of therapeutic choices”, and pointing out the humanitarian aspect of an individual’s health and the danger of withholding intervention options or rationing. It is not surprising to see, that many health care professionals and patients see a certain incompatibility between financing, opera-tional aspects of health care, like allocation of resources, and ethical expectations. Nevertheless, this is not necessarily so. In the following we will discuss what principles should rule a health care system. Furthermore conflicts and trade-offs between performance measures like effectiveness and efficiency and equity considerations will be discussed.

description: The authors analyze the basic financial principles and the regulated entrepreneurship in the healthcare systems in Europe. They point out that the European countries organize, manage and finance their health care in different ways. Thus the health systems vary not only in the financial methods used, but also in the payment scheme of the insurance institution and the healthcare providers as well as the ways in which the state regulates the health services provision and the development of market relations in healthcare. Some of the most up-to-date challenges and opportunities in front of European healthcare systems are overviewed. An example case study is presented in order to illustrate the need for investing in health as well as for careful financial and regulatory planning and management.

description: The field of public health has a distinctly uncoordinated terminology. The reason for this is that terms are taken over from different other scientific fields or are created according to historical needs and circumstances in different countries. A local jargon is frequently used. The task of this module is to review a group of terms on the enclosed list which will be often used during the public health course. It is expected from students to give short description of definition of previously unknown terms and list of terms which students find ambiguous.

description: In recent years we have seen the successful implementation of new methods in formulating health policy, based on sound research data – the so called evidence based policy. This new approach to health policy helps experts formulate decisions on the basis of good information concerning programs and projects, through presenting supporting evidence from research, which in turn becomes the core for political development and implementation. We decided to analyze the project for a National health strategy 2007-2012 of Bulgaria and see how well it corresponds to the principles of evidence based policy. Critical evaluation of the last draft of the National health strategy 2007-2012 reveals a number of weaknesses due to the documents’ inconformity with the basic principles of evidence based policy making. We conclude with a discussion on possible implications for Bulgaria’s health policy.

Subjects: subject: 80604 Database Management
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Database management systems (DBMSs) are an important part of modern datadriven applications. However, they are notoriously difficult to deploy and administer because they have many aspects that one can change that affect their performance, including database physical design and system configuration. There are existing methods that recommend how to change these aspects of databases for an application. But most of them require humans to make final decisions on what changes to apply and when to apply them. Furthermore, these previous tuning methods either (1) require expensive exploratory testing, (2) are reactionary to the workload and can only solve problems after they occur, (3) focus only on improving one single aspect of the DBMS, or (4) do not provide explanations on their decisions. Thus, most DBMSs today still require onerous and costly human administration. In this thesis, we present a novel architecture for a self-driving DBMS that enables automatic system management and removes the administration impediments. Our approach consists of three frameworks: (1) workload forecasting, (2) behavior modeling, and (3) action planning. The workload forecasting framework predicts the query arrival rates under varying database workload patterns using an ensemble of time-series forecasting models. The behavior modeling framework constructs fine-grained machine learning models that predict the runtime behavior of the DBMS. Lastly, the action planning framework generates a sequence of optimization actions based on these forecasted workload patterns and behavior model estimations. It uses receding horizon control and Monte Carlo tree search to approximate the complex optimization problem effectively. Our forecasting-modeling-planning architecture enables an autonomous DBMS that proactively plans for optimization actions without expensive testing. It automatically applies the actions at proper times, holistically controls all system aspects, and provides explanations on its decisions.
''Health Needs'' Concept

description: The concept of ''health needs'' is one of key concepts in public health. From the public health standpoint, the most important perspective on this concept is the perspective of a population, or an individual respectively. But along this perspective there exist several other perspectives, which can be to the certain extent similar, but also could be also very different. All this enters an enormous confusion in its understanding, and consecutively this concept seems rather elusive. This confusion originates from the fact that the concept of “health needs” is very difficult to define exactly, like it is also very difficult to define exactly the concept of “health itself”, since both concepts are extremely complex entities. The module is trying to enlighten some problems concerning the “health needs” concept”.

description: This module examines the health policy development and in particular the functions of health policy analysis in the policy-making process. The module starts with a short overview of the historical background of policy analysis, which shows that the aim of policy analysis, today as in the past, has been to provide policymakers with information that can be used to solve practical problems. The module continues with a description of the policy development in the health sector. Although policy analysis is an intellectual activity, it is also embedded in a social and political process known as policymaking. Health policies are important because it is what gives content to the practices of the health sector. Policies are expressed in a whole series of practices, statements, regulations and even laws which are the result of decisions about how we will do things.

description: Health surveys are observational epidemiological studies of health status of the population in which usually a cross-section through frequency and characteristics of health outcomes and other health related events like exposures are studied and therefore provide prevalence data. Surveys are very applicable in searching for general insight in health states and conditions that last a relatively long time as well as various risk factors for them. Their results could be efficiently used in planning public health interventions, and in fact today they represent one of the most important tools of evidence based public health. The module is presenting basic theoretical background necessary for understanding the usefulness of health surveys in planning public health interventions, as well as it provides a case study.

description: The central problem addressed by the discipline of economics is that of resource scarcity, and so the purpose of economic evaluation is, in a very broad sense, to help decision-makers when addressing problems arising due to the scarcity issue. Therefore, such evidence is generated with the direct intention of influencing policy. Over recent years, there have been repeated expressions of concern about the usefulness of health economic analyses, and responses have tended to centre on questions of how research by health economists can be made more useful and accessible to policy makers. How an economic evaluation can be used in practice, is presented in the case of folic acid food fortification. After the introduction of folate deficiency problem and discussion of strengths and weaknesses of folic acid food fortification, it is demonstrated how an economic evaluation can add value to decision-making process. However, it is important to understand that, even if the best possible economic evaluations were available, they would be only one element in a complex process of decision-making that is also shaped by scientific evidence and political feasibility.

Population in Bulgaria decreased from 8 948 649 in 1985 to 7 640 000 in 2007 with stable reduction of growing generation, standstill of at-labour-age persons and increase of the above-labour-age population. Major problem is the low employment level of ageing population, unsatisfactory health care services and unsupportive pensioning system.Elder people find themselves in completely new economic and social situation, which together with the usual changes create complexes of vulnerability, inability to manage daily tasks and health problems. The training aims at improvement of the competencies of students, professionals and aged people, their skills to manage the economic reality, enhance their health culture and diminish their exposure to diseases.

description: Incomplete multi-view clustering (IMVC) has garnered increasing attention in recent years due to the common issue of missing data in multi-view datasets. The primary approach to address this challenge involves recovering the missing views before applying conventional multi-view clustering methods. Although imputation-based IMVC methods have achieved significant improvements, they still encounter notable limitations: 1) heavy reliance on paired data for training the data recovery module, which is impractical in real scenarios with high missing data rates; 2) the generated data often lacks diversity and discriminability, resulting in suboptimal clustering results. To address these shortcomings, we propose a novel IMVC method called Diffusion Contrastive Generation (DCG). Motivated by the consistency between the diffusion and clustering processes, DCG learns the distribution characteristics to enhance clustering by applying forward diffusion and reverse denoising processes to intra-view data. By performing contrastive learning on a limited set of paired multi-view samples, DCG can align the generated views with the real views, facilitating accurate recovery of views across arbitrary missing view scenarios. Additionally, DCG integrates instance-level and category-level interactive learning to exploit the consistent and complementary information available in multi-view data, achieving robust and end-to-end clustering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches.

description: There is an increasing interest in eliciting feedback from patients to highlight aspects of care that need improvement and to monitor performance and quality of care. Hospitals increasingly need to adopt a patient-centred attitude. Traditionally, assessments have ignored the reports of patients in preference to technical and physiological reports of outcome. Healthcare systems have sought to achieve a balance in services that offer not only clinically effective and evidence based care, but which are also judged by patients as acceptable and beneficial. Questionnaires that ask patients to rate their care in terms of how satisfied they are tend to elicit very positive ratings, which are not sensitive to problems with the specific processes that affect the quality of care delivery. A more valid approach is to ask patients to report in detail on their

description: The application of lightweight structures in the aerospace and automotive industry has been significantly increasing in the past years and tends to slowly pave its way into mass production. Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) enable, in combination with metal structures, the production of resource-saving as well as more efficient vehicles and therefore lead to a better carbon dioxide balance. To be able to build hybrid vehicle structures from components made of dissimilar materials such as fiber reinforced plastic and metal, new tailor-made joining processes are needed. Conventional metal joining processes currently used for industrial applications, such as welding, adhesive joining or mechanical joining processes such as riveting are not meeting all requirements. These techniques are either not suitable (welding of dissimilar materials) or rely on the use of additional materials (adhesives), which make it signifi-cantly more difficult for the assemblies to be fully recycled. The design and properties of the interface between the dissimilar materials are crucial for a reliable additive-free connection with high bond strength. Short pulsed lasers are able to structure and modify surfaces of numerous materials in various ways. Thus laser surface processing is a promising technique for interface modification enabling durable direct material joints for hybrid lightweight structures. In our poster, we present latest results of how laser-structured surfaces increase the bond strength of hybrid joints made of metal and fiber-reinforced plastics. Results show mechanical strengths several times higher than reference processes. The presentation focuses on the following connections: • Laser-structured metal components and glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites directly joined by consolidation under increased temperature and pressure • Composite profiles made of laser-structured metal elements and glass-fiber reinforced plastic realized in a pultrusion process • Components made of laser-patterned fiber-reinforced plastic with added 3D-printed geometries. The results of the research open up new possibilities for more sustainable and resilient lightweight structures.

description: The article presents a legislative overview of the medicinal products from biotechnological source, which are derived from living organisms so called biosimilars. Since 2004, based on Directive 2004/27/EC the term “biogeneric” does not exist any more and the therapeutic proteins including, recombinant human insulin for the treatment of diabetes, human growth hormone for the treatment of hypo-pituitary dwarfism, interferon, erythropoietin for the treatment of anaemia in cases of chronic renal failure, various blotting factors referred to an original medicinal products are called ""biosimilars"". All these biological medicinal product often heterogeneous so that modern analytical methodology could not always characterize them in terms of differences in conformation, heterogeneity and impurity profiles. Since 20 November 2005 the Marketing authorization way for biosimilars is via the Centralized Procedure pursuant Regulation (EC) 726/2004, Annex 1. In year 2006-2007 the number of the submitted medicinal product to EMEA is 14. The survey follows and discusses the issues which are necessary for the marketing authorization of all these medicinal products to prove the safety, efficacy and quality, where appropriate pre-clinical tests or clinical trials relating to these conditions must be provided.

description: This paper presents a proof candidate for the Riemann Hypothesis, built upon a chain of lemmas combining analytic number theory, Fisher information geometry, and entropy divergence. The approach uses reductio ad absurdum: assuming a zero off the critical line leads to diverging structural entropy, non-vanishing zero-pressure, and curvature blow-up, contradicting Hadamard growth bounds.

 

This version (v9) includes:

 

Full ε–δ analysis for both convergence and divergence cases

A Fisher curvature–zero pressure equivalence lemma

Reproducible figures with code, and exact bounds in Appendices A–B

 

 

While not peer-reviewed, this version is complete in logic and mathematical structure and is open for external validation and critique.

Potential contributions from the social sciences tend to be overwhelmed by the appeal of the biomedical and behavioural sciences. Three concepts and notions notion of community in public health were dominated: First, community- a lots and lots of people or community as the population; second could be described as community as “giant reinforcement schedule” or community as setting, with aspects of that setting being used as levers to support and maintain individual behaviour change. The third, newest, approach sees community as “eco-system with capacity to work towards solutions to its own community identified problems” or to see it as a social system. This notion of community focused on strengths instead merely on deficits. Two groups of research activities (systematic study of communities and inequality research) supported with evidence from many applied researches done through development of European Healthy Cities Project contributed to this shift in perception of the value of the community. In this course we elaborate inequity research, “System” study of communities and present case study: „Community applied research in Croatia- “triggered” by Healthy Cities“.

Screenings
Creators: name: Krajc, Mateja
Publisher: name: Programmes for Training on Research in Public Health for South Eastern Europe
Year: 2008

description: There have been various definitions of screening over the years, but simply what we are talking about in screening is seeking to identify a disease or pre-disease condition in apparently healthy individuals. This concept is now widely accepted in most of the developed word. Used wisely, it can be a powerful tool in the prevention of a disease. Screening has important ethical differences from clinical practice as the health service is targeting apparently healthy people, offering to help individuals to make better informed choices about their health. The module is presenting basic theoretical background necessary for understanding the usefulness of screenings, the screening process, and potential risks, as well as it provides a case study of breastt cancer screening.

Creators: name: Eržen, Ivan
Publisher: name: Programmes for Training on Research in Public Health for South Eastern Europe
Year: 2008

description: e-Health describes the application of information and communications technologies across the whole range of functions that affect the health sector. e-Health tools or solutions include products, systems and services that go beyond simply internet-based applications. They include tools for health authorities and professionals as well as personalised health systems for patients and citizens. It can improve access to healthcare and boost the quality and effectiveness of the services offered. Examples include health information networks, electronic health records, telemedicine services, personal wearable and portable communicable systems, health portals, and many other information and communication technology-based tools assisting prevention, diagnosis, treatment, health monitoring, and lifestyle management. When combined with organisational changes and the development of new skills, e-Health can help to deliver better care for less money within citizen-centred health delivery systems.

Year: 2008

description: Telecare is a new means of providing healthcare and social support at home where telecommunication technologies are the medium for service provision. It uses a public telephone network and provides a means of getting help, notably for people who are at risk of falling, sudden illness, fits or seizures. Sensors added to a carephone are introduced monitor the user’s environment and health condition and alert a response centre when there is a threat to their health or well-being. Personal response systems operate in all western European countries and also, more recently, in Slovenia. Experiences gathered when establishing a pilot network of carephones and a response centre in the capital city of Ljubljana are presented along with a discussion of the efforts made to create a national network. A personal response system as a telecare application used primarily by vulnerable older people with response centres having the capacity to serve 30.000 potential users. Obstacles to their development are discussed.

description: CAM is, from the point of view of public health, a phenomenon that should be followed, analysed and controlled. Noxious as well as protective factors which accompany the implementation of CAM methods should be recognised so as to be able to inform the public of the results in a timely and accurate manner. The case study analyses the viewpoints of medical doctors, patients and the state of the phenomenon of CAM in Slovenia. A declinatory attitude of conventional medicine to CAM is present. In contrast, population express a favourable opinion on alternative methods of treatment, and more than a third of them actually make use of them.

description: This study presents a novel approach for roof detail extraction and vectorization using remote sensing images. Unlike previous geometric-primitive-based methods that rely on the detection of corners, our method focuses on edge detection as the primary mechanism for roof reconstruction, while utilizing geometric relationships to define corners and faces. We adapt the YOLOv8 OBB model, originally designed for rotated object detection, to extract roof edges effectively. Our method demonstrates robustness against noise and occlusion, leading to precise vectorized representations of building roofs. Experiments conducted on the SGA and Melville datasets highlight the method's effectiveness. At the raster level, our model outperforms the state-of-the-art foundation segmentation model (SAM), achieving a mIoU between 0.85 and 1 for most samples and an ovIoU close to 0.97. At the vector level, evaluation using the Hausdorff distance, PolyS metric, and our raster-vector-metric demonstrates significant improvements after polygonization, with a close approximation to the reference data. The method successfully handles diverse roof structures and refines edge gaps, even on complex roof structures of new, excluded from training datasets. Our findings underscore the potential of this approach to address challenges in automatic roof structure vectorization, supporting various applications such as urban terrain reconstruction.

Alternative Medicine During Millenional Transition
Creators: name: Stambolović, Vuk
Publisher: name: Programmes for Training on Research in Public Health for South Eastern Europe
Year: 2008

description: Alternative medicine is becoming the important factor in health care in most countries of developed world. Generally, that development was enabled by spreading of postmodern comprehension within the Western Weltanschauung. Postmodern comprehension both, enabled deconstruction of dominant health paradigm, and stimulated acceptance of pluralistic attitudes in matters of health care. So, alternative medicine is travelling now on a rather fast track through medical institutions and even through most solemn medical campuses of developed world. Of course, there is no doubt who is holding the reins there. So, in order to cut through power plays of powers that be it is crucial to be aware of distinctions between alternative and official medicine. The differentia specifica of alternative medicine could be understood by dropping out of Cartesian paradigm and by turning to the basic postulates of holographic paradigm.
