Abstract:
Prevention practices and the factors that influence them are essential for controlling the spread of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and effective strategic planning. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the practice of preventing dengue fever in communities in endemic areas of Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample was 379 households in endemic areas using a questionnaire. Collecting data was using a questionnaire with interviews. Bivariate analysis employed Chi-square test, multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Most of the respondents practiced fewer prevention; variables related to dengue fever prevention practices were income, education, knowledge about dengue prevention and health education (mass media). Regression analysis showed that the variables of education, knowledge about dengue prevention, and mass media education were related to the practice of preventing dengue fever. This study indicated that in preventing dengue fever, strategies must be developed to cultivate prevention practices and increase prevention campaigns using mass media and focus on areas with low education and knowledge in dengue prevention.

Abstract:
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease, in terms of its frequency, the severity of organ damage, and the consequences for the health of the population constitutes one of the most pressing problems of our population. The prevention of subsequent coronary events and the maintenance of physical functioning in such patients are a major challenge in preventive care. However, many patients opt for a change in their lifestyle, some with the support of a health professional.Objective: This empirical survey focuses on the knowledge of respondents about preventing cardiovascular disease. Statistical methods determine the differences between males and females in attending preventive check-ups, understanding and observing risk factors in their lifestyle, and having an interest in changing their lifestyle.Methods: The survey uses a non-standardized questionnaire. Apart from demographic data, the questionnaire had 10 items assessing the respondent’s knowledge of risk factors for cardiovascular disease, 10 on lifestyle and attitudes to the change in lifestyle, and five regarding their interest in education about the subject. Exploratory data includes answers from 70 respondents, who were outpatients in a general practitioner’s department. Of these, 32 are males (46.0%) and 38 are females (54.0%). Results of the survey are analyzed using the Chi-Squared test. Results: Fifty-four of the 70 respondents (55.7%; 20 males and 34 females) undertake preventive check-ups at the general practitioner’s department at least once in two years. No significant differences present between males and females in attending preventive check-ups (χ2 = 3.455; df = 1; P = 0.05) and in showing a willingness for a lifestyle change (χ2 = 1.789; P = 0.05). However, based on the given data, a significant difference presents between males and females regarding proper regime observance (χ2 = 18.651; df = 1; P = 0.05). For example, females know the observance of a healthy diet is necessary for preventing ischemic heart disease (χ2 = 20.124; df = 1; P = 0.05).Conclusion: The study shows that the difference between males and females is significant regarding their understanding of risk factors related to lifestyle and proper regime observance. Thus, education could lead to reducing or eliminating such risk factors. Prevention of risk factors is complex and lifelong. Under conditions of the Slovak health service, registered nurses are responsible for the education of patients.

Abstract:
Background: Dengue is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in Malaysia. Government efforts alone are not sufficient in preventing the disease if people continue to allow the widespread mosquito breeding in their housing compound. Individual or community behavior is an important factor in the prevention of dengue. However, there is no standard instrument to measure the associated factors of dengue preventive behavior. This study commenced to validate and assess the reliability of a newly developed instrument for the constructs measuring factors associated with dengue preventive behavior.Methods: A total of 327 respondents involved in this pilot study, which is a preliminary study to a larger scale study. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to explore underlying constructs of the latent variables.Results: From the EFA, 10 factors (knowledge regarding dengue, behavior toward dengue prevention, fear and awareness toward dengue, motivation to adopt preventive behavior, medical practices for dengue fever, cooperation in dengue prevention, perceived susceptibility of dengue, perceived severity of dengue, perceived benefit from practicing dengue preventive behavior, and perceived barrier toward dengue preventive behavior) emerged contributing 63.1 percent of the total variance with the reliability of 0.791.Conclusions: The questionnaire is valid and reliable to measure the associated factors of preventive behavior toward dengue.

Abstract:
Health beliefs among family members of diabetic patients are important factor of the diabetic preventing behaviours. This study aimed to describe family’s beliefs toward diabetes mellitus prevention based on the Health Belief Model and its’ contributing factors. This corelational study involved 72 peoples that purposively sampled from 34 diabetic patients who live in Jatinangor Public Health Center Working area. A questionnaire developed by the research team consisted of 37 items and 6 domains: perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, cues to action, and self efficacy was used to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results showed that most of respondents (77.78%) positively believed on diabetes mellitus (DM) susceptibility, severity (59.72%), benefits of DM prevention (84.77%), and cues to action (76.4%). It was also found that most of respondents negatively believed on the prevention barriers (84%) and self-efficacy (77.78%). Female and actively involved in patient care were found as the contributing factors of the respondents’ beliefs related to DM prevention (p<0.05). To conclude, the DM patients’ family members believed that they are vulnerable to have DM and DM preventions are beneficial. Female and being actively involved in patient care potentially increase the family members’ beliefs toward DM prevention. So, it is important for the healthcare professionals to maximize the family members’ involvement in DM patient care program.

Abstract:
Cancer prevention is a system of various measures devoted to avoid this disease. Primary cancer prevention means the identification, avoidance, or destruction of known risk factors. The main risk factors are smoking, diet, alcohol consumption, occupational factors, environmental pollution, electromagnetic radiation, infection, medicines, reproductive hormones, and lack of physical activity. Approximately onethird of cancers can be avoided by implementing various preventive measures. The aim of this article was to acquaint medical students, family doctors with risk factors of main cancer sites (lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate).

Abstract:

In the United States the high rate of adolescent pregnancy is a cause for a concern. Previous research indicates that infants born to adolescent parents have negative social outcomes and are prone to repeat the cycle. For this reason, it is necessary and important to lower the adolescent pregnancy rates. The study examines factors that influence adolescent pregnancy and respondents' age when the first child was born (i.e., teenage pregnancy), consumption of alcohol, and sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing. The 2005 CHIS adult data set was used for the analysis; the sample used included only women less than 20 years of age at the time of interview (N = 390). There were no statistically significant findings, probably due to the small sample size.

[Objectives] Currently, HIV prevention strategies focus on promoting the modification of those individual behaviours that lead to an increase in susceptibility to and transmission of HIV infection. The focus on individuals in HIV voluntary counselling and testing frequently overlooks the fact that communication and collaboration between the sexual partners is required to effect any behavioural change within an intimate partnership. Developing HIV prevention strategies targeting couples is therefore noted to be increasingly relevant for improving HIV/STI risk reduction uptake. Couple HIV counselling and testing (CHCT) is a strategy that aims to bridge this gap by providing a safe environment for partners to be tested and counselled together. In this way, the burden of disclosing one's HIV status to one's partner is eliminated, and the difficulties experienced by the tested individual in negotiating risk reduction uptake are significantly reduced. There is a paucity of data regarding couples' experiences in and perceptions of CHCT within the South African setting. This study explores couples' experiences before, during and after CHCT; determines the socio-behavioural risk factors for HIV status in couples; explores the impact of couple HIV status on fertility desires, and lastly examines the reliability of inter-partner reports on sexual and other behaviours. [Methods] This was a cross-sectional study with baseline and follow-up components; in addition to a qualitative study component. Structured interviewer-administered questionnaires were applied to each member of the couple separately at baseline prior to CHCT (n=600 couples), immediately post CHCT, and at least 1 month post the CHCT process (n= 258 couples). In addition, in-depth qualitative interviews were done with each member of 27 couples at least one month post CHCT. [Results] Overall, the HIV prevalence in the study sample was 30% (24% in male and 35% in the female participants). Of the 600 couples tested for HIV, 354 (59%) were HIV concordant negative, 136 (23%) were HIV serodiscordant and 110 (18%) were HIV concordant positive. Of the HIV serodiscordant, 101(74%) were couples in which the female was the HIV positive partner and 35 (26%) had HIV positive males. Contextual factors such as community perceptions and levels of HIV-related stigma significantly influenced the couples' decision to test for HIV. Couples reported improved risk reduction uptake and improved communication as well as general improvements in other aspects of their lives at follow-up post the CHCT process. Factors such as community and family expectations as well as financial stability seemed to play a more influential role as determinants of fertility desire, compared to the couple HIV status. Comparison of couples' responses to some questions regarding sexual and other behaviours revealed that there was low inter-partner agreement particularly with respect to questions regarding communication behaviours. Key findings indicate that CHCT was acceptable to the couples who attended this process, and yet, making the decision to test was difficult for most couples. Partners devised various strategies to initiate the discussion on the need to test for HIV. However, after CHCT attendance, the process was highly rated, regardless of gender or resultant HIV status. [Conclusion] In order to increase the usefulness and effectiveness of CHCT, the process must be able to address pertinent uncertainties and concerns that couples might have with regard to HIV risk-reduction uptake and fertility desires.

Zhang, Yi, and 张一. "Identifying risk factors for suicide research and prevention." Thesis, The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong), 2013. http://hub.hku.hk/bib/B50533782.

Full text
Abstract:
Research on risk factor for suicidal behaviors has been broadly conducted to enhance knowledge of suicide prevention. However, there are still challenges for risk factor research. Four major research gaps have been identified: (1) uncertain effectiveness of the population approach versus the high-risk approach for suicide prevention; (2) lack of a valid and convenient Chinese-version screening tool for the severity of suicidal ideation among adolescents; (3) demand for testing the prospective associations of risk factors with suicidal ideation using a longitudinal designed population-based sample; and (4) necessity of pathway analysis to explore and confirm how risk factors interact with each other and lead to suicidality. This thesis aims to address these gaps through a combination of five studies. Study 1 introduces an illness and death model to suicide prevention research. Elasticity and sensitivity analyses were performed. The findings revealed that the control of suicide incidence among the healthy population is the most effective prevention strategy whereas treatment of mental illness appears to be the least effective approach to suicide prevention. Study 2 validates the psychometric properties of the Chinese versions of Reynolds’s Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ) and Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire Junior (SIQ-JR, a short version of the SIQ) in a sample of Hong Kong adolescents. A short, four-item version of the SIQ-JR has been suggested as an alternative to the SIQ and the SIQ-JR. Study 3 identifies the history of psychiatric treatment, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, unstable marital status, poor economic circumstance, and a recent death of a first-degree relative as significant risk factors for the incidence of suicidal ideation. The associations of change in risk factors with the development of suicidal ideation have been tested. There are gender and age differences in the patterns of such associations. Study 4 focuses on psychological factors associated with the first-ever incidence of suicidal ideation. Psychological factors have been detected generally to differ in their associations with the incidence and persistence of suicidality. The idea that depression partially mediates the effect of average life distress on the persistence of suicidal ideation has clinical value. Study 5 introduces and tests a stressor and illness model as a theoretical framework reference for future risk factor research. Risk factors are classified into stressor, illness, and pattern factors. Both the simple and complex models are tested. Evidence supported the proposed mediating role of mental disorders between negative life events and severity of suicidal ideation. A gender-specific pattern of associations between stressors, illness, and severity of suicidal ideation has also been detected. This thesis has made substantial theoretical, psychometric, and empirical contributions to the existing knowledge of suicide research.

Abstract:
The growing number of people living below the poverty line has made homelessness a topic of interest, once again. This paper focuses on the homeless adolescent population that is often overlooked, and explores the complexity of the homeless situation, and how there is no definite solution to overcome homelessness. At-risk and homeless adolescents are affected by many negative factors that cause them to seek early independence, such as parenting style, finical instability, lack of an education, drugs and alcohol, physical and sexual abuse, all of which are discussed in this paper. Along with the negative factors, there are protective barriers that can potentially help an at-risk adolescent but are ineffective once the adolescent is homeless. This paper also addresses how we as a society can be more proactive in helping this population, and be aware if the warning signs that can lead a youth to decide to run away and eventually end up homeless.

Full text
Abstract:
Tooth wear is now reported in large numbers of children and young adults, and this is predominantly thought to be related to enamel and dentine erosion. Changes in diet, lifestyle and social behaviour are all considered to contribute to this concerning trend in young dentitions. This dissertation investigates methods for measuring tooth wear in vitro and in situ, studies the effects of erosion and abrasion on enamel and dentine, and explores ways to limit the damaging effects of these processes. The literature review considers the structure of normal dental tissues and the consequences of tooth wear before reviewing enamel and dentine erosion in greater detail, together with ways of addressing this condition for the benefit of future generations. Ten published works are included in this dissertation. Classic methodology for in situ erosion studies was improved and also applied to combine assessment of abrasion and erosion. Results of studies undertaken confirmed the erosive potential of conventional and modified citric and malic acid based fruit juices, acid based fruit drinks, sports drinks and acidic fruit flavoured coatings on chewing gum. The erosive effect of acid based fruit drinks was shown to be reduced by adding calcium [at both room and elevated temperatures], or adding calcium with maltodextrin, or adding calcium with phosphate at room temperature. Further studies showed protection against an erosive challenge in situ, by an experimental fluoride-based toothpaste containing sodium hexametaphosphate, and the benefit of a low RDA [relative dentine abrasivity] paste on dentine. Finally, two studies confirmed the anti-erosive properties of stannous-containing sodium fluoride toothpaste compared with competitor formulations. Conclusions from the work in this dissertation are that acidic based fruit drinks can be beneficially modified to reduce enamel and dentine erosion and that additional protection can be gained from the use of customised anti-erosion toothpastes.

Brughelli, Matt. "Risk factors, assessments and prevention of muscle strain injuries." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2009. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1908.

Full text
Abstract:
The relationships between mechanical stiffness, eccentric exercise and muscle strain injury are emerging areas of interest to researchers. For example, asymmetries between lower body limbs during athletic movements (i.e. ground reaction forces or mechanical stiffness) are thought to increase the risk of injury and compromise performance. The first two chapters of this PhD reviewed the literature on the topics of mechanical stiffness, and the effects of eccentric exercise on optimum length for force development. Both chapters included implications for muscle strain injuries. The third chapter reviewed the previous literature that has investigated the effects of eccentric exercise on hamstring injury rates. The interventions used were critiqued, and new eccentric exercises and interventions were introduced. The following four chapters included experimental research on: first) the effects of running velocity on running kinetics (e.g. vertical and leg stiffness) (i.e. chapter 5); second) relationships between hamstring injuries and leg asymmetries during running (i.e. chapter 6); third) the relationships between training background and optimum length, and fascicle length (i.e. chapter 7); forth) a case study on an eccentric exercise intervention for a previously injured athlete (i.e. chapter 8); and, finally) the effects of eccentric exercise on the optimum angle (knee flex ors and extensors) and injury occurrence in professional soccer players (i.e. chapter 9). The purpose of chapter 5 was to investigate the effects of running velocity of running kinetics and kinematics in Australian Rules football players. Sixteen semiprofessional Australian football players participated in this study. The subjects performed running bouts at 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of their maximum velocity on a Woodway non-motorized treadmill. The variables of interest included: vertical force (Fv), relative veriical force (RFv), vertical stiffness, leg stiffness, horizontal force (Fb), relative horizontal force (RFb), contact times, impulse, stride frequency and stride length. As running velocity increased from 40% to 60%, RF v and RF h increased by 14.3% ((Effect Size (ES)= 1.0)) and 34.4% (ES= 4.2) respectively. The changes in RFv and RFh from 60% to 80% were 1.0% (ES= 0.05) and 21.0% (ES= 2.9). And finally, the changes in RFv and RFh from 80% to maximum were 2.0% (ES = 0.1) and 24.3% (ES= 3.4) respectively. The total increase in RFh from the slowest running speed (i.e. 40% max) to maximum was 102.0% (ES= 9.3). Vertical stiffness significantly increased between each increasing running velocity (p < 0.05) while leg stiffness remained constant. Both stride frequency and stride length significantly increased with each increasing velocity (p < 0.05). Conversely contact times, impulse and the vertical displacement of the center of mass significantly decreased with running velocity (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between Fh and maximum running velocity (r = 0.4 7). For the kinematic variables, only stride length was found to have a significant positive correlation with maximum running velocity (r = 0.66). It would seem that increasing maximal sprint velocity may be more dependent on horizontal force prodnction as apposed to vertical force production. The purpose of chapter 6 was to quantify the magnitnde of leg asymmetry in kinetic and kinematic variables during running in non-injured and previously injured Australian Rules football (ARF) players. The players included a group of non-injured ARF players (n = II) and a group of previously injured ARF players (n = 11; hamstring injuries only). The players in the injured group had at least one acute hamsh·ing injury in the previous two years. The legs of the non-injured players were classified as dominant and non-dominant whereas the legs of the injured players were classified as injured or non-injured. The players ran on a non-motorized force h·eadmill at approximately 80% of their maximum velocity (Vmax). For the noninjured players, there were no significant differences between dominant and nondominant legs for any of the variables. For the injured players, the only variable that was significantly (p<0.001) different between the injured and non-injured leg was horizontal force production (175 ± 30 vs. 324 ± 44 N). Furthermore, the injured leg (injured group) produced significantly less (30.2% and 33.9%) horizontal force than either legs (dominant and non-dominant legs) of the non-injured group, and the noninjured leg produced significantly more (18.2% and 22.5%) horizontal force than either legs of the non-injured group. In the present study, hamstring injures appeared to have an influence on leg asymmetry in horizontal but not vertical force production during running at sub-maximal velocities. The purpose of chapter 7 was to investigate differences in optimum angle of peak torque (knee extensors and flexors) and muscle architecture ( vastus lateralis) between nine cyclists and nine Australian Rules Football (ARF) players. The angles of peak torque of the ARF players were significantly (p<0.05) greater during knee extension 70.8 ± 3.5° vs. 66.6 ± 5.9° and smaller during knee flexion 26.2 ± 2.9° vs. 32.3 ± 3.8° compared with the cyclists. The ARF players had significantly (P<0.05) smaller pennation angles 19.3 ± 2.0° vs. 24.9 ± 2.5° and longer fascicle lengths 7.9 ± 0.7 cm vs. 6.2 ± 0.8 cm in comparison with the cyclists. There were no significant differences between groups in regards to muscle thickness or peak torque ratios between the quadriceps and hamstrings (Q/H ratio). Muscle architectural changes associated with resistance strength training need to be investigated so as the effects of training on architecture and functional perfonnance can be detennined. The purpose of chapter 8 was to present an eccentric exercise intervention, including multi-joint and closed chain exercises, for an Australian Football player with a history of acute hamstring injuries. The athlete was a 24 year old Australian Rules football player with a medical history of three hamstring muscle strain injuries to his right hamstring in the previous four years. After the first three phases of the intervention (i.e. nine weeks), the optimum angle of peak torque during knee flexion decreased from 37.3 to 23.9° in the injured leg, and from 24.3 to 20.3° in the healthy leg. After the first nine weeks, the optimum angles remained constant for another 23 weeks. The optimum angle of peak torque was also shifted in the knee extensors by 3.9° (injured leg) and 3.4° (healthy leg) after nine weeks and remained constant for the remaining 23 weeks. Quadriceps to hamstring peak torque ratio's (Q/H ratios) and peak torque during knee flexion and extension remained constant throughout the intervention. An intervention consisting of multi-joint and closed-chain eccentric exercises can be safe and effective for altering the optimum angle of peak torque (i.e. shifting to longer muscle lengths), after acute hamstring injuries. The purpose of chapter 9 was to investigate the effects of eccentric exercise on injury occurrence (i.e. hamstrings and rectus femoris) and optimum angle of peak torque (i.e. knee flexors and extensors) in professional soccer players. Twenty three members of a Spanish Professional League soccer team (Division II) were randomly assigned to either an eccentric exercise intervention group (EG) or a control group (CG). Both groups performed regular soccer training during the four week study, which was conducted during the clubs pre-season. After the four weeks, the optimum angles of the knee flexors were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased (i.e. increase in optimum length) by 2.0° in the CG and by 4.0° in the EG. The change in the EG was significantly different to the CG. The optimum angles of the knee extensors were significantly increased (i.e. increase in optimum length) in the EG only by 6.7°. Peak torque levels and ratios of quadriceps to hamstring (Q/H ratios) were not significantly altered throughout the study for either group. There were no injuries reported in the EG, but two rectus femoris muscle strain injuries reported in the CG. It appears that eccentric exercise can shift the optimum length of the knee flexors and extensors and these shifts may have a positive influence in reducing the incidence of injury.

Abstract:
Preventive responses most often made to caregivers are too often "gestures and postures training" type to reduce these occupational hazards. Taking the party to focus on manual handling of patients (MMP), it seemed appropriate to revisit prevention measures being implemented by combining the results of international standardization and reflections on the organization of work. The approach described above has found its place in the training actions in applied ergonomics and prevention of risks related to physical activity for caregivers and their management. The objective is to convey to employees, tools for evaluation of work situations, adapted to their activity for taking into account the ergonomics for reducing the risk occurrence of MSDs. Such an approach fit into the development of working group and the cross disciplinary organizations.

Risk management requires a high level of knowledge, process and system approach, management culture and the organization in order to eliminate any non-conformity, that threaten organizational aims. Systematic approach to the management level is possible in the current conditions to create the most objective platform for decision-making process at all management levels of the organization. Changes in different areas of the external environment of enterprises carrying the legislative as well as other requirements in its internal environment, creating pressure for changes in management and decision-making processes, which must take new trends, especially in area of new emerging risks. Monitoring the critical equipments with progressive methods supported by risk management processes, allows reducing uncertainty and increase confidence in the management practices of employees but also all stakeholders.

Full text
Abstract:
The fire incident in Santa Maria, Brazil, where died 242 people, 123 injuries, repeated aspects already found in similar tragedies in other countries and showed the difficulty of learning with these aspects regard to accident prevention. The disaster occurred when a pyrotechnic component used by a music band emitted heat that reached the polyurethane ceiling, which ignited. This study aimed to analyze systemically the Santa Maria nightclub fire to describe different aspects whose interaction led to the accident. The assembled maps allowed us to conclude that there was an insufficient mechanism of action coordination for accident prevention. It was possible to show that besides the nightclub’s design problems, such as a lack of alternative unobstructed rescue routes, emergency signaling, agility in emergency response, other contributing factors were material weaknesses, lack of training of firefighters and first responders responsible for preventing injuries resulting from the burning of the coating material used for soundproofing the club. Accident analysis based on the AcciMap helped reveal the systemic nature of the complex network of causal factors involved in the fire at the club.

Phillips, Lyn. "Pressure Ulcer Prevention: Keep it Safe, Keep it Simple!" In Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics Conference. AHFE International, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.54941/ahfe100475.

Full text
Abstract:
Pressure Ulcer (PU) Prevention Guidelines typically recommend that vulnerable patients be physically repositioned every 2-4 hours, although the risk of caregiver injury is rarely discussed. Some guidelines, concerned with the fabric and construction of slings, continue to mandate the removal of lift equipment from beneath the patient after use and, despite a weak evidence base, this might lessen repositioning frequency and discourage safe practice. A pragmatic solution may be a flexible, breathable, quick-drying, low-friction lift sheet, designed to work in synergy with a pressure-redistributing mattress and which replaces the standard sheet. A series of standardised laboratory tests compared key performance characteristics of two sheet textiles: a 100% cotton hospital bed sheet and the Maxi Transfer™ sheet, a novel synthetic lift sheet. Results showed that when compared to the cotton sheet, the synthetic sheet was more breathable, had lower heat retention properties, superior wicking and better synergy with the therapeutic mattress. Regular repositioning, the cornerstone of PU prevention, is most likely to occur when clinicians have immediate access to lifting equipment. Replacing the standard bed sheet with an advanced textile, lifting device, may positively impact concordance with repositioning protocols, improve tissue microclimate and so improve patient outcomes and, importantly, caregiver safety.

Abstract:
The biomechanical overload disorders of the musculoskeletal system are constantly increasing in Italy and became the most reported occupational diseases to INAIL (Italian Workers’ Compensation Authority). Some sectors, such as agriculture, health and crafts, generally show a particular rise of these diseases while other sectors (such as fishing) are still struggling to bring out the work-related diseases. The Apulia Region included in the Regional Plan for Prevention 2010 - 2012 initiatives in order to secure a better understanding of the tools both for the assessment of risk due to the biomechanical overload of the musculoskeletal system and for the prevention of the diseases related to them. This approach allowed us to collect items of interest in order to better know the ergonomic risk in Apulian agriculture and to define the future prevention policies.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Gallbladder cancer is a rare tumor that is mostly advanced once detected. The efficacy of surgical treatment is still controversial. Therefore, primary prevention of gallbladder cancer is important. There are many studies on risk factors for gallbladder cancer, but at present it is difficult to identify independent risk factors for gallbladder cancer, except for a history of symptomatic chronic cholecystitis and malignant transformation of a single polyp. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is popular worldwide and can be a preventive procedure for gallbladder cancer in addition to resolving benign lesions. This study makes a meta-analysis of the latest research results exploring the risk factors of gallbladder cancer in the last decade , expecting to provide evidence-based medical support for the prevention of gallbladder cancer at the clinical level, and to provide some ideas to guide the surgical indications for LC and future research related to gallbladder cancer. Subject of study: Gallbladder cancer. Study content: Risk factors. Type of study: case-control or cohort study. Extract the value: OR, HR, RR.

Full text
Abstract:
Pipeline operators expend substantial efforts to develop, implement, and audit their Public Awareness and Pipeline Damage Prevention Programs. While the rate of pipeline damage incidents from third-party and outside force impacts has progressively declined over a period of several decades, these events remain a high priority for the pipeline industry and external stakeholders. One key focus area for Encroachment Detection and Damage Prevention is understanding and managing Human Factors influences in damage prevention programs. This document presents the findings of the Phase II study on the influences of human factors on pipeline damage and damage prevention efforts. The Phase II study builds on the prior literature review and site visits with pipeline operating companies to identify Human Factors issues in Encroachment Detection and Damage Prevention (Phase I). As a result of the Phase I study, over 200 Human Factors issues were identifed that pertain to Encroachment Detection and Damage Prevention. The Phase II study focused on the top 25 issues (as identified by the pipeline operating companies). The report presents the results of two-day workshops that were organized in five countries to develop interventions for each of the 25 high-priority Human Factors Issues. The Final Report includes a �Users Guide� that identifies practical Human Factors interventions to address Encroachment Detection and Pipeline Damage for the 25 high-priority issues. The Users Guide is included in this report as Appendix D. It is also published separately.

Lenhardt, Amanda. Progress Towards Meaningful Women’s Participation in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding Decision-makingt prevention and peacebuilding decision-making. Institute of Development Studies, December 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.044.

Full text
Abstract:
The Women, Peace and Security or Gender Peace and Security (WPS/GPS) agenda has expanded significantly over the 20+ years of concerted efforts at many levels to expand the role of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Yet many authors note that the expansion of international agreements and national plans to support greater women’s participation in decision-making have yet to translate into concrete changes. This report examines progress in promoting women’s meaningful participation in decision making processes in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, with a focus on changes since 2018. Evidence on women’s meaningful participation in decision-making tends to focus on a small range of measurable outcomes with some studies considering the outcomes of women’s involvement in those processes to determine the extent to which they might be ‘meaningful’. Few studies examine differential outcomes of such initiatives for different groups of women, and most data does not allow for the disaggregation of intersecting identities between gender, ethnicity, race, disability, migration status and other key factors. Evidence collected for this report suggests that policies and programmes seeking to support greater women’s participation in decision-making in conflict prevention and peacebuilding often struggle to address the broader structural factors that inhibit women’s empowerment. Tackling longstanding and often deeply embedded harmful social norms has proven challenging across sectors, and in conflict or post-conflict settings with highly complex social dynamics, this can be especially difficult. Many of the issues highlighted in the literature as hindering progress on the WPS agenda relate to cross-cutting issues at the heart of gender inequality. Multiple authors from within women’s movements in conflict and post-conflict settings emphasise the need for policies and programmes that support women to act as agents of change in their own communities and which amplify their voices rather than speak on their behalf. Recent achievements in South Sudan and the Pacific region are indicative of the potential of women’s movements to affect change in conflict prevention and peacebuilding and suggest progress is being made in some areas, though gender equality in these processes may be a long way off.

Full text
Abstract:
Typical life circumstances for military families may impact their participation in prevention programs, yet little is known about what factors influence their participation. The current study examined predictors of attendance in the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10–14, for Military Families, a universal in-person program designed to improve family functioning and reduce youth substance misuse and other problem behaviors. Participants included 159 parent–child dyads randomly selected to be offered the 7-week family program. Analyses examined demographic characteristics, deployment experiences, time spent waiting for the program to begin, and psychosocial functioning as predictors of attendance in a series of regression models. Of the 39 percent of families that attended any program sessions, the majority (71 percent) attended at least four of the seven sessions. Attendance varied significantly across the geographic areas in which groups were held. Prior service utilization, youth conduct problem behavior, parental history of deployment, and family conflict were each positively associated with attendance, whereas parent tobacco use was negatively associated with attendance. These results highlight the challenges in recruiting military families into in-person prevention programs and suggest that extra efforts may be needed to engage families that do not perceive that they have a need for support.

Idris, Iffat. Preventing Atrocities in Conflict and Non-conflict Settings. Institute of Development Studies, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.137.

Full text
Abstract:
Atrocity prevention refers to activities to prevent atrocity crimes against civilians. These include genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, and can take place in both conflict and non-conflict settings. This points to the need to prioritise and implement atrocity prevention specifically, and not just as part of conflict prevention efforts. Atrocity prevention interventions are broadly of two types: operational (short-term responses) and structural (addressing underlying causes/drivers). These encompass a wide range of approaches including: acting locally (with local actors taking the lead in prevention activities); tackling hate speech, and promoting an independent and strong media; documenting human rights violations, and prosecuting and punishing those responsible (establishing rule of law). The international community should prioritise atrocity prevention, but work in a united manner, take a comprehensive approach, and give the lead to local actors. Atrocity crimes generally develop in a process over time, and risk factors can be identified; these traits make atrocity prevention possible. This rapid review looks at the concept of atrocity prevention, how it is distinct from conflict prevention, the different approaches taken to atrocity prevention, and the lessons learned from these. The review draws on a mixture of academic and grey literature, in particular reports produced by international development organisations such as the United Nations (UN) and USAID. The literature was largely gender-blind (with the exception of conflict-related sexual violence) and disability-blind.

INPLASY - International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2022.8.0097.

Full text
Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To systematically synthesize the key characteristics (the reach, implementation, efficacy, and safety) of digitally delivered fall and fracture prevention through exercise among community-residing older adults. Rationale: Falls represent a significant cause of preventable injury, contributing to premature morbidity and mortality worldwide(1). Fall risk is multifactorial, and there are numerous strategies to prevent falls, being exercise programs strongly recommended. While there is strong evidence of the effectiveness of targeted exercise in reducing falls and fractures in older adults (2), these are normally delivered in-person by qualified instructors. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technologies for medical care increased substantially(3). Also, services including exercise programs were shut down. The combination of continued reluctance among many older adults to return to in-person programs in addition to their comfort level to exercise from their homes are two main factors that justify the need for digitally delivered programs. To date, little is known about the reach, implementation, efficacy, and safety of exercise programs delivered digitally.
