Relevance. Travel diarrhea is the most common health problem in travelers, affecting up to 70% of travelers, especially when traveling to developing countries. Research and development of scientific and practical approaches to the prevention, risk assessment and treatment of travelers' diarrhea continues to be the focus of attention of specialists in the field of epidemiology, infectious diseases and travel medicine around the world.Aim of the study: systematization and synthesis of new data on various clinical and epidemiological aspects of travelers' diarrhea.Conclusion. Analysis of modern scientific literature has made it possible to identify the risks for travelers associated with the direction of travel and the state of their own health. The highest risk of developing traveler's diarrhea (from 20% to 90%) is recorded in people visiting the countries of the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and Africa. There is a high risk of developing traveler's diarrhea in children under 4 years of age. The causative agents of acute bacterial intestinal infections can account for up to 80% -90% of all cases of travelers' diarrhea. In most cases, travelers' diarrhea is mild. Seeking medical care is observed from 5% to 15% of cases. For etiotropic therapy, the use of azithromycin, ciprofloxacin and other drugs is recommended. Recommendations for self-management of traveler's diarrhea have been formulated. Pre-trip travel advice will help reduce the risks of travelers' diarrhea.

Full textAbstract:
Countries throughout Asia promote themselves as leading destinations for international travelers seeking inexpensive healthcare. India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand are all trying to attract greater numbers of what their promotional campaigns call “medical tourists.” Government tourism initiatives, hospital associations, medical tourism companies, and individual hospitals advertise hip and knee replacements, spinal surgery, cosmetic surgery, and other medical procedures. In contrast to most nations marketing treatments to international patients, the Philippines differentiates itself by selling “all inclusive” kidney transplant packages. Patients from other countries travel to the Philippines and receive kidneys purchased from poor individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Nearly 20 years after the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic, we are facing another COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of our study was to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism behaviour of international students in Poland. We paid attention to the overall impact of the pandemic on life, travel, choice of tourist destination, tourism activity, ecotourism preference, and health and safety issues. We formulated two research questions: What areas of international student tourism behaviour were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? What differences in travel behaviour occurred between international students from Europe and Asia? Participants were recruited from universities located in Warsaw between June and September 2020. A total of 806 questionnaires were collected, 87 of which were eliminated due to non-response. The research sample consisted of 719 people. Six factors were identified in the survey results: tourism inclination, impact on tourist destination, hygiene and accommodation, impact on life, impact on tourism, and mode of tourism. Impact on life and impact on tourism were attributed to the general impact dimension; tourism inclination and mode of tourism can be summarized as attitude and preference. Food and accommodation were assigned to hygiene and safety dimensions. In almost all aspects, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s lives was greater for Asian respondents. Asian respondents were more likely to say that they would avoid COVID-19-affected areas when choosing tourist destinations in the future, and avoid travelling to crowded large cities after COVID-19 ended. European survey participants’ responses were more moderate.

Generally, people living in one country, if travel to another country or another region of the same country, for the purpose of getting medical care including surgery, which is not available in their own country or region otherwise, is termed as Medical Tourism or Health Tourism. For this purpose generally people travel from under developed countries to highly developed countries in absence of the facilities in their own country or when getting cheaper and better options in alternative countries. Its popularity is growing fast across the globe, focusing primarily and predominantly on biomedical reasons, combined witourism, if possible. Most of the medical tourists belong to Asian countries, annterestingly these tourists are visiting also to asian countries, whose number increasing very fast every year. In this field mainly four asian countries India, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia are leading and these are promoting anopularizing medical tourism aggressively. India has great Prospects in the field of Medical Tourism by virtue of its corompetence developed in cardiovascular surgery and organ transplant/surgertc, along with low cost option and great reputation. Apart from generatinmployment opportunities, it will also increase our foreign exchange and causocio-economic development, strengthening our country’s economy. Aparrom the treatment by allopathic system, other Indian systems of medicines, i.e. Ayurveda, Yoga, Panchakarma, Rejuvenation Therapy and Naturopathtc. also have gained great popularity in recent past. The Govt also has takeeveral initiatives through Ministry of Tourism to promote India as a Medicand Health Tourism Destination. Special provisions have been made for thoreign visitors coming to India for their treatment, issuing them a neategory of visa "Medical Visa" for the purpose. Apart from the Government initiatives, most of the private hospitals are alsnvesting heavily, giving a facelift to their medical facilities, realizing thotential for Medical Tourism in India, in order to make them visible to nonly to local elite but also to overseas clients.

Full textAbstract:
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus), mainly transmitted by ticks, belonging to the genus Orthonairovirus (family Nairoviridae, order Bunyavirales). CCHFV causes a potentially severe, or even fatal, human disease, and it is widely distributed in Africa, Asia, eastern Europe and, more recently, in South-western Europe. Until a few years ago, no cases of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) had been reported in western Europe, with the exception of several travel-associated cases. In 2010, the CCHFV was reported for the first time in South-western Europe when viral RNA was obtained from Hyalomma lusitanicum ticks collected from deer in Cáceres (Spain). Migratory birds from Africa harboring CCHFV-infected ticks and flying to Spain appear to have contributed to the establishment of the virus (genotype III, Africa-3) in this country. In addition, the recent findings in a patient and in ticks from deer and wild boar of viral sequences similar to those from eastern Europe (genotype V, Europe-1), raise the possibility of the introduction of CCHFV into Spain through the animal trade, although the arrival by bird routes cannot be ruled out (Africa-4 has been also recently detected). The seropositive rates of animals detected in regions of South-western Spain suggest an established cycle of tick-host-tick in certain areas, and the segment reassortment detected in the sequenced virus from one patient evidences a high ability to adaptation of the virus. Different ixodid tick genera can be vectors and reservoirs of the virus, although Hyalomma spp. are particularly relevant for its maintenance. This tick genus is common in Mediterranean region but it is currently spreading to new areas, partly due to the climate change and movement of livestock or wild animals. Although to a lesser extent, travels with our pets (and their ticks) may be also a factor to be considered. As a consequence, the virus is expanding from the Balkan region to Central Europe and, more recently, to Western Europe where different genotypes are circulating. Thus, seven human cases confirmed by molecular methods have been reported in Spain from 2016 to August 2020, three of them with a fatal outcome. A One Health approach is essential for the surveillance of fauna and vector populations to assess the risk for humans and animals. We discuss the risk of CCHFV causing epidemic outbreaks in Western Europe.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected people in multiple dimensions. In addition to the social, physical health, financial, and mental health impacts of the pandemic, many United States (U.S.) college students experienced an abrupt transition to online learning in Spring 2020, resulting in a significant disruption to their learning and life. In this study, we examined COVID-19 impacts as reported by college students enrolled in an online class in Spring 2020 via an extra-credit survey. Participants reported predominantly negative impacts, but positive impacts were also reported. A total of 61 aspects of impact were identified reflecting six major themes: academic, housing and travel related, physical health-related, financial and work-related, social life, and mental health related impacts. We found that females reported significantly more overall negative impacts and significantly more academic and housing/travel related impacts than males. Black students reported significantly fewer positive impacts compared to non-Black students in the sample. Asian students reported significantly more academic impacts than White students. In addition, participants in the fully online degree program had significantly fewer overall impacts and significantly fewer academic impacts than those in the residential degree program. Implications of the findings were discussed.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) dissemination occurred from December 2019 and quickly spread to all countries. Infected patients with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe illness. The most mortality was observed in patients with underlying disease and over 45 years. World statistics have shown that the COVID-19 outbreak is most expanded in Middle Eastern, West Asian, European, North, and South American countries, and is least expanded in African countries. Therefore, the aim of the paper was the evaluation of six African countries including Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Guinea, Togo, and Djibouti to find why this disease is least expanded in African countries. Study was conducted by Questioner for countries health organizers to define their different aspect exposure and fight with COVID-19 including epidemiology, clinical aspects of the disease, case definitions, diagnosis laboratory confirmation, and referral of cases by the portal of entry, case management, and disease prevention in these countries. According to this opinion review, due to the low international flights and low domestic travel, the spread, and prevalence of COVID-19 was low and the return of the immigrants of these countries has caused the spread of COVID-19 among these countries. Experience, preparation, and impact of previous infections epidemic such as the Ebola virus epidemic would have beneficial, which have promoted certain reflexes among people that cause low dissemination in these countries.

Full textAbstract:
The role of travel in obtaining medical education in Antiquity is well known from the texts of the “Hippocratic Corpus”. However, the most valuable evidence about this aspect of the medical profession can be found in the texts by Galen of Pergamum (129-210/217), whose works are the main source of this study. Galen's numerous autobiographical notes allow us not only to trace the routes of his voyages, but to uncover their goals as well. After receiving his initial medical education in Pergamum, Galen travelled to Asia Minor, particularly to Mysia, Phrygia, and Cappadocia, attending lectures of famous physicians and philosophers and studying the local traditions of medicine. After that he spent some years in Alexandria. An analysis of a number of texts allows us to conclude that Alexandria in the 2-3 centuries AD was a center for the study of anatomy and commenting on Hippocrates’ texts. To study medicine in this city was considered a necessary stage in the career of a successful physician and a prerequisite for recognition in the profession. Important evidence should also be noted regarding the existing medical specialization in Alexandria, the features of the local dietetics and medicinal substances. An important stage in Galen's medical career was the theoretical and practical study of surgery at the gladiatorial school of Pergamum, where his knowledge was expanded not only with the rules for suturing, but also with hemostatic and wound healing prescriptions. From his extant works on pharmacology (“De simplicium medicamentorum temperamentis ac facultatibus”, “De compositione medicamentorum per genera”, “De compositione medicamentorum secundum locos”), we know that Galen also visited a number of places in the Eastern Mediterranean: Thrace, Macedonia, Cyprus and even Palestine. The purpose of these journeys was to observe the local climate that affects human health and causes diseases, to study the peculiar properties of the local herbs and minerals, and to collect medicinal substances for his personal apothecary. According to the evidence preserved in one of his latest works, “De indolentia”, Galen managed to collect one of the richest pharmacopoeias of his time and a unique collection of prescriptions that was destroyed by a fire in Rome in 192.

Full textAbstract:
The competitive situation and challenges within the tourism industry worldwide entailed a better understanding of destination loyalty’s determinants in achieving Malaysia’s aspiration to retain its international reputation as one of the most desirable tourist destinations in Asia. Literature proved that factors such as perceived value, service quality and tourist satisfaction could influence in improving destination loyalty. In view of this, there is a need to examine the influence of several constructs namely perceived value, service quality and tourist satisfaction that can contribute to the loyalty of international tourists towards Malaysia as it was suggested in the literature review. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to examine the influence of perceived value and service quality on tourist satisfaction, which in turn would influence destination loyalty. In this study, tourist satisfaction was treated as the mediating variable. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling on a sample of 337 foreign tourists selected using a random sampling method. The study was conducted from August 2014 to October 2014. The proposed model achieved acceptable goodness-of-fit. The requirements for reliability and validity were also met. The results of the empirical study indicated that perceived value influenced tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty. In addition, the findings revealed that service quality had a significant effect on satisfaction. However, service quality had no significant effect on destination loyalty. Moreover, the findings indicated that tourist satisfaction had a full mediating effect on the relationship between service quality and destination loyalty. The study contributed to a better understanding of behavioral factors that would represent a sustainable source for increasing customer retention at the level of individual providers as well as a destination as a whole. Individual providers should focus on delivering quality services related to accommodation, information and facilities, health and hygiene, and shopping that were associated with the visitor’s travel experience. Aspects of perceived value identified in the study could be used as a strategic tool in managing tourism offerings which could enhance the destination’s competitive edge.

Full textAbstract:
Human beliefs about health and illness structure the explanations for health and illness in a society and these explanations rationalise preventive or therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this research was to discover, identify and understand the perceptions of health, illness and health seeking behaviour of the Baloch people in a cultural perspective. More specifically, it was to document their perception regarding the origin and cause of illness and disease as revealed in their system of disease-classification and their etiological categories. It was also to describe the context in which Baloch access the traditional health care system as well as conventional health care. Participant observations and in-depth interviews were the tools for data collection in this ethnographic study. Four districts of Pakistani Balochistan were selected for fieldwork. Traditional or folk healers of different categories, medical professionals, sufferers, family heads, community elders, tribal chiefs and medical doctors were interviewed in depth during fieldwork and many socio-cultural phenomena and ritual healing practices were participated in and observed. It was observed that Baloch beliefs regarding health and illness revolve either on the concept of natural causes that are mainly due to humoral imbalance or supernatural causes: spirit possession, sorcery or evil eye. In contemporary Balochistan, despite the availability of the basic health care system in the majority of Baloch settlements, for all practical purposes, Baloch use their traditional medical practices alongside biomedicine. These medical practices mainly consist of herbal remedies and spiritual healing practices. Folk medical beliefs are inseparable from other elements of Baloch cultural life and in this context health planners and medical practitioners in Balochistan, mutually can do much to balance and integrate biomedicine and folk and traditional medicine. Working together, they can optimise the benefits for their client populations.

Full textAbstract:
Transport systems are essential to trade, globalisation, communication and other forms of interaction between people and societies (Banister, 2013). Yet they can also have negative impacts including decreased quality of life or health impacts arising from pollutants, environmental damage including climate change and a range of wider socio-economic effects (Glanz et al., 1990). Given that most car journeys are short however (57% of UK trips are under five miles), there is particular potential for active travel (i.e. walking and cycling) to both reduce the environmental externalities of modern transport systems and stimulate improved quality of life and societal wellbeing (Banister, 2013; Martin et al., 2014). Unfortunately, there is a paucity of robust evidence that examines how infrastructural interventions (i.e. those aimed at making the physical environment more conducive to active travel) actually impact on active travel levels in specific communities. In addition, there is very limited evidence of the wider effects that such interventions have on wellbeing and levels of happiness overtime. This thesis details mixed-method research undertaken in Cardiff, UK, during 2011/2012, which examined the impacts of a new piece of infrastructure - the Pont-y-Werin walking and cycling bridge - on the local community's levels of active travel and subjective wellbeing. It provides insights into the nature of constraints preventing travel behaviour change from taking place, and - through the use of the novel, 'Day Reconstruction Method' - into the consequences that different modes of travel can have for travel and wellbeing, including on moment-to-moment moods and emotions. Overall by contextualising and measuring and evaluating wellbeing, the research suggests that people experience less pleasant emotions during travel than when undertaking everyday activities, and also that for certain modes there is a decrease in happiness before and after travel compared to everyday activities. Additionally greater monitoring, evaluation and promotion of combined hard and soft measures - focusing on travel behaviour change - is needed alongside providing travellers with accessible information on the wellbeing impacts of different modes (Elvik, 2009).

Le choix du sujet actuel est né d'une recherche interne, d’un descendant de réfugiés qui voulait connaitre et comprendre les conditions et les raisons pour lesquelles l’accueil de ses ancêtres avait ai fait d’une façon si « inélégante », hâtive et sommaire, et tout ça sans ressentir le désir de punir les personnes impliquées.En même temps, c'était aussi la volonté d’étudier si notre société actuelle si organisée et moderne, aurait appris des erreurs du passé et pleine d'expériences ne puisse pas les répéter.Mais la réalité du flux des réfugiés de 2015 a prouvé qu'en fin de compte, une société, peu importe à quel point elle veut paraître prête, avant-gardiste et civilisée, n'est rien d'autre qu'une société belle et ornée, qui n'apprend pas ou ne veut même pas apprendre de ses erreurs, de son histoire, elle apprend simplement à réagir et à enfouir sous le tapis les problèmes qui la préoccupent ou troublent l'image son calme.Dans des circonstances normales, il est impossible pour l'historien de trouver un moyen de faire l'expérience de l'objet de son étude, de vivre la réalité historique et ceci en raison du décalage entre le présent et le passé qu'il étudie.Le flux migratoire qui a débuté en 2015 a été l'occasion pour notre étude de nous faire vivre la triste réalité du sort des réfugies de la période étudiée, avec des images, des mots, des sons, des odeurs.Les réfugiés d'aujourd'hui vivaient les mêmes problèmes de santé, le même traitement social, le même état de réalité et de sous-effort pour les aider, à leur façon « portaient » le même manteau de misère que les réfugiés de notre étude.Un sujet d'étude historique peut-il changer l'image de la société dans laquelle on vit ? Oui, quelque chose qui semble à la fois rare et impossible, mais finalement si vraisemblable, un chercheur peut soudainement voir ses contemporains se transformer en « monstres du passé » qu'il étudie.Il est vrai que le chemin du chercheur est solitaire et demande beaucoup d'efforts et de sacrifices, les obstacles qu'il trouvera devant lui, surtout s'il a une famille et travaille, sont nombreux, en même temps il doit faire face à des problèmes de bureaucratie, de préjugés ou d'hostilité. Bien sûr, aucun État ne veut être blâmer pour les erreurs qu'il a commises dans le passé, en espérant qu'il pourrait gagner son immunité.Cependant, un sujet de thèse peut permettre au chercheur de changer sa perception de sa propre famille, de découvrir ses ancêtres à travers des sources et des archives, enseignant ainsi à ses enfants leur véritable histoire familiale sans mythes historiques internes sans des souvenirs déformés, de sorte que les années de cette recherche et de cette écriture peuvent facilement devenir une quête personnelle du st Graal.La réaction aux problèmes de l'arrivée massive des réfugiés d'Asie Mineure en Grèce étaient-elles la seule que pouvait avoir l'État grec ? Ou était-ce une tentative de dissimuler une ou la réalité après cette arrivée massive ?L'État grec était-il au courant de la situation démographique en Asie Mineure et n'a-t-il pas réagi après la catastrophe, qui a entraîné un écart de bon sens ou a-t-il caché une mauvaise interprétation des données dont il disposait ?The choice of the current subject was born of an internal research, of a descendant of refugees who wanted to know and understand the conditions and the reasons for which the reception of his ancestors had done in a way so "inelegant", hasty. and summary, and all without feeling the desire to punish those involved.At the same time, it was also the will to study whether our present society, so organized and modern, would have learned from the mistakes of the past and full of experiences could not repeat them.But the reality of the 2015 refugee flow proved that at the end of the day a society, no matter how ready, forward-thinking and civilized it wants to appear, is nothing but a beautiful and adorned, who does not learn or does not even want to learn from her mistakes, from her history, she simply learns to react and to bury under the carpet the problems which preoccupy her or disturb the image her calm.Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the historian to find a way to experience the object of his study, to experience historical reality, and this because of the gap between the present and the past he is studying. .The migratory flow that began in 2015 was an opportunity for our study to make us experience the sad reality of the fate of the refugees of the period studied, with images, words, sounds, smells.he refugees of today experienced the same health problems, the same social treatment, the same state of reality and of under-effort to help them, in their own way “wore” the same cloak of misery as the refugees in our study. .Can a subject of historical study change the image of the society in which we live? Yes, something that seems both rare and impossible, but ultimately so likely, a researcher can suddenly see his contemporaries transform into "monsters from the past" that he studies.It is true that the path of the seeker is lonely and requires a lot of effort and sacrifice, the obstacles that he will find before him, especially if he has a family and works, are numerous, at the same time he must face problems of bureaucracy, prejudice or hostility. Of course, no state wants to be blamed for the mistakes it has made in the past, hoping it could earn its immunity.However, a thesis topic can allow the researcher to change their perception of their own family, to discover their ancestors through sources and archives, thus teaching their children their true family history without internal historical myths without distorted memories, to so that the years of this research and writing can easily become a personal quest for the holy grail.Was the reaction to the problems of the massive arrival of refugees from Asia Minor in Greece the only one the Greek state could have? Or was it an attempt to cover up one or the reality after this massive arrival?Was the Greek state aware of the demographic situation in Asia Minor and did it not react after the disaster, which resulted in a gap in common sense or did it hide a misinterpretation of the data that he had?

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the shifting relationship between the state and its subjects with regard to responsibility for and entitlement to care. Using Malaysia as a case study the research engages with international medical travel (IMT) as an outcome of the neoliberal retrenchment of the welfare state. I offer a critical reading of postcolonial development strategies that negotiate the benefits and challenges of extending care to non-national subjects. The research draws from relevant media, private-sector and governmental documents and 49 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with IMT proponents and critics representing federal, state and urban governmental authorities, professional associations, civil society, private medical facilities and medical travel agencies in Malaysia’s principal IMT regions (Klang Valley, Penang and Malacca). Across four empirical chapters, the thesis demonstrates how ‘Malaysia’ gets positioned as a destination within a range of imagined geographies of care through a strategic-relational logic of care and hospitality. I argue that this positioning places ‘Malaysian’ subjects and spaces into lucrative global networks in ways that underscore particular narratives of postcolonial hybridity that draw from Malaysia’s ‘developing country’, ‘progressive, moderate Islamic’ and ‘multiethnic’ credentials. In considering the political logics of care-giving, I explore how the extension of care can serve as a place-making technology to re-imagine the state as a provider and protector within a globalising marketplace in which care, increasingly commodified, is tied to the production of new political, social, cultural and economic geographies.

Aims. This research investigated the health status (e. g. weight perception and BMI, mental health conditions and general health complaints), and the lifestyle behaviours (e. g. smoking, alcohol consumption, and dietary behaviour) of Libyan higher education students (HES). The objectives were to compare their health status and lifestyle behaviours in the different regions of Libya; and to compare Libyan HES with those from other countries. In addition to this, the study aimed to determine if any association existed between demographic and academic variables and health and lifestyle variables. Purpose. The purpose of the study was to provide baseline data required by university health programmes in Libya for planning related to the health needs of students. Methods. The sample consisted of 1300 higher education students from different higher education institutes and different disciplines. The self-administered health questionnaire used included questions on health and health-related behaviours and their associated social and economic factors. It was conducted during lecture time. Data were analysed with SPSS. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify sociodemographic variables associated with health and lifestyle variables. Results. In this sample of students, the prevalence of overweight was higher than the prevalence of underweight and obesity (14.5%, 18.2%, and 4.2% respectively), and 40% of students were trying to lose weight. High rates (45%) of depressive symptoms were found, however; overall 8.8% of respondents reported being diagnosed with anxiety, and 4.3% with depression. The findings of this study also indicated that students reported high levels of subjective health complaints. The majority of students reported that their physical activity levels were insufficient; only 5% of students met the international recommended levels of physical activity. Only one in ten students was found to be consuming an adequate amount of fruit and vegetables (at least five times a day). About 6% of the students self-identified themselves as current smokers, and the results revealed that smoking was a male phenomenon in Libya. Alcohol consumption is not very common among Libyan students, and only 3.5% reported drinking alcohol; overall, 1.6% reported using drugs, and all students who reported using drugs reported cannabis use. A gender difference was noticeable and consistent across types of complaints; depressive symptoms, dietary behaviour, physical activity, smoking and alcohol and drug consumption. Females reported significantly worse health status than males in terms of health complaints, and depressive symptoms. Males reported higher levels of physical activity and higher levels of smoking and alcohol and drug consumption than females. Students in North Libya showed the highest levels of physical activity, and also the highest levels of smoking, alcohol and drug consumption, whereas students in East Libya had the highest levels of fruit and vegetable consumption. Logistic regression analysis revealed substantial associations between females and depressive symptoms, dietary behaviour and higher levels of complaints, and also between social support and anxiety and depression. The comparisons with other survey data showed that the Libyan rates of overweight and obesity were similar to rates reported amongst students at Alexandria University in Egypt, and much higher than those reported in other countries such as Poland, Japan and Korea. Depressive symptom rates were similar to the rates reported among university students in Bulgaria and higher than those reported in Germany, Denmark and Poland with respect to male students, and Libyan HES reported lower rates of health complaints than students in certain other European countries. In addition, the levels of fruit and vegetable consumption amongst Libyan HES were lower than those reported amongst Australian students. The prevalence of physical activity levels was lower than that reported amongst university students in the United Arab Emirates. The results of this study clearly indicate that the prevalence of smoking and alcohol and drug consumption among students in Libya was " lower than among those from other Arabic countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Conclusion. Efforts to promote a healthy lifestyle among students are needed and should place greater emphasis on physical activity and increased fruit and vegetable consumption, and on discouraging smoking and body dissatisfaction. There is a need for future research on student health, which should be carried out with a larger sample group to develop a national standardized instrument. Future research will be helpful for accurately identifying perceived barriers to, and recommending changes to enhance, physical activity among HES.

Nunn, Julie M. "A sample of female Australian tourists' travel health intentions and behaviour while holidaying in south east Asia." Thesis, 2001. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/17918/.
Full textAbstract:
Over 456,000 Australians spend time holidaying in South East Asia each
year; it is Australia's top tourist destination. Much of the attraction of South
East Asia is the novelty of exotic tropical environments. However, these can
result in strange and diverse health hazards.
This exploratory research used sequential in-depth interviews to explain
the relationship between the travel health advice tourists receive and their
behaviour while holidaying in South East Asia. When providing travel
health advice to tourists travel health advisers need to understand the
psychology underlying reasoned behaviours such as travel health behaviours
if they want to persuade tourists to practice preventative health measures.
After review of the relevant literature it would appear that this is the first
time that the theory of reasoned action, developed by Ajzen and Fishbein in
1980, had been used to explore travel health beliefs, attitudes, intentions and
behaviours.
The research found that the travel health advice received by tourists had marginal effect on their travel health behaviours as the source, extent and
relevance of the advice was left wanting. The tourists hoped to relax and
desired a good time on their holiday by entering into the 'holiday spirit'
offered by South East Asia. This impeded their ability to recognise the very
real travel health risks they faced.

In the era of knowledge-based economy, how an organization increases its organizational value through effective knowledge management has been widely accepted. It includes acquisition, storage, presentation and spread of knowledge. As information technology advanced in modern times, knowledge management through internet conveyance (as it is not affected by time and space) extends the interior organizational management and provides its members a way to rapid learning. Upon determining research study topic and purpose, relevant references reviews and discussions on issues of knowledge management and travel health and through questionnaires and interviews with specialized doctors and tour managers, the sampling method was adopted with 206 copies of valid questionnaires collected to understand tour managers needs and proceeded knowledge extraction. Then, by applying SmartKMS knowledge management system soft ware, the concrete travel health knowledge management system was designed and constructed. Upon completion of the system, it is applied to tour managers for purpose of evaluation. The results explain “travel health knowledge management system” is indeed effective in increasing travel health knowledge capabilities of tour managers. The travel health knowledge management system constructed by this study possesses not only features of regular knowledge management system, but also autonomous relativity, intelligent classification, autonomous abstracting, autonomous acquisition and personalization. It helps corporations in conducting knowledge management and also serves as references for travel health knowledge management framework of travel agencies. In addition, through the knowledge management system, tour mangers acquire travel health knowledge he needs in a short span of time and apply it in the actual process of tour guiding to increase profession service capabilities. A tour manager’s performance in tour guiding not only represents his own professional capabilities but also the overall image of a travel agency. As a traveler encounters a health problem during travel, a tour manager’s prompt and accurate response and handling on the problem will without a doubt increase his/her professional service image. Thus, “organizational value” and “competitiveness” are enhanced.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe chapter proposes to explore rational curiosity as a key category to unpack nineteenth-century British perspectives on Asia, and especially China. Duncan MacPherson’s account is interpreted from a new perspective, which highlights both imperialist rhetoric and overlapping dichotomies. A careful reading shows how even at the height of European expansion we do not find in travel literature any clear dichotomy of East vs West, but rather a Eurocentric view of material and scientific progress that praised or condemned different aspects of both Asian and European societies. Hence, Asia emerges as a complex space where the civilising mission encounters problems similar to those encountered amongst British people: traditions, irrationality and passions. This chapter therefore adds to the reflection of the volume on the use of knowledge and the impact of identity, whilst uncovering a more specific mode of curiosity rooted in post-Enlightenment thought and guiding the encounter with Asia.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractNasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is an uncommon cancer. According to the Global Cancer Observatory, of the 129,000 new diagnoses in 2018, 85% has been made in the Asiatic population. In males the annual age adjusted rate of incidence (per 100,000) dramatically varied between 8 in South-Eastern Asia and <1 in Europe. In Europe (period of diagnosis 1999–2007), the annual incidence rate varied between 0.7 (South of Europe) and 0.2 (North of Europe). Incidence is three time higher in men than women. Elderly are more affected than young people. Five-year survival, from European population based cancer registries was 49% (period 1999–2007), survival was better in younger than in older patients (73% vs. 31%), prognosis was more favorable in women than men (54% vs. 47%). Geographical variation of survival was reported, with poor 5-year in the Eastern European countries (36%).Incidence and population based survival are crucial for public health and planning clinical study. Lifestyle and environmental factors are responsible of the decreasing trend of incidence in quite all the world countries.Being one of the rare diseases, NPC need to be centralized for diagnosis and treatment. In Europe, the European Joint Action of Rare Cancers and the European Reference Network for rare disease will play an important role to make progress and reduce geographical disparities.

Full textAbstract:
The possibility of Space travel to Mars in our lifetime has reignited interest in aerospace medicine and mental health aspects of prolonged travel. The extended duration, tight quarters, and social aspect of Space travel have significantly but incompletely understood impact on the mental health of astronauts. As society looks to innovation to address mental health issues in Space, mental health on Earth remains a persistent and unmet need. There are ongoing efforts to advance technology to mitigate what is currently one of the largest burden of disease worldwide. How does one reconcile the challenges of mental health in long-term Space travel with that in the earthbound population? Fortunately, these apparently separate challenges are reliant on technologies that offer promising opportunities for cross-pollination and bidirectional sharing of ideas. In fact, there is a rich history of Space technologies helping to address challenges on Earth so there is a precedent for this translation.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores travel and the mind, and aspects of psychology of travel, describing humans as the ‘travelling ape’. The chapter looks at the evolution of the human species, the effects of the shift to sedentism some 11,000 years ago, and how travel can impact our mental state. The author introduces the concept of Deep Travel, a way of using the mind that opens us up to new experiences. Different than either daydreaming or closely focused attention, which both seal us off from the world, Deep Travel is alert to everything around us. This way of thinking, the author argues, evolved due to the altered perspective afforded by bipedalism; and is a state of mind that we must nurture, in our sedentist societies, if we are to foster human well-being in future. The chapter also examines the importance of travel for creativity, mental health, and healthy aging.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the regional pattern of association between health risk exposure and resilience outcome in South Asian countries with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This exercise unveils the elements of resilience that contribute to getting prepared in confronting COVID-19 risk in South Asia, using secondary information and knowledge from the Governments, WHO, UNDP Human Development Index (HDI), European Commission’s COVID-19 Risk Index and the World Bank’s Air Connectivity Index. Methodology and Scope of the paper differ from previous contributions from a holistic policy point of view, since human development, geo-demographic vulnerability, government effectiveness and socio-economic outcome variables are considered in context to the public health condition and epidemic risk at the national level. Based on statistical evidence, South Asian countries fall into three categories (i) high resilient with low pandemic impact (Maldives, Bhutan and Sri Lanka), (ii) Medium resilient having a high impact (India and Bangladesh) and (iii) Low resilient but high impact (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal). Beyond resilience, this study also flags geo-demographic issues such as population density, geographical isolation either being an island or landlocked mountainous countries and air travel connectivity as influencing or barrier factors in the spreading of epidemic disease. This paper serves the purpose of designing risk-informed effective policy responses to constrain negative effects of future pandemics and similar infectious diseases and sensitize countries to get prepared for “build back better” as well.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Malikai Tension Leg Platform (TLP) being the first TLP in Malaysian waters, was installed in 2016 at a water depth of 500m. The mooring system was designed with tender-assisted drilling (TAD) features to allow for station keeping activities during drilling operations. Malikai Phase 2 is brownfield project to develop six infill wells to be drill using existing well slots available on TLP. To drive project value of replication and standardization, similar TAD vessel was used as per Phase 1 campaign. The project execution strategy emphasizes on the reuse of Phase 1 mooring component to lower the CAPEX and re-certification of the mooring component were done to maintain the integrity of the hardware. Existence of porkmarks and large part of geo-hazard on the Malikai seafloor, remain one of the main challenges to safety pre-lay polyester on the selected routes. Furthermore, due to Covid-19 pandemic the shipment of the polyester ropes was delayed. Improvement was made in the offshore installation methodology with introduction of the direct hook-up methods to eliminate the risk of polyester damaging during pre-laid, eliminate the chain twists issue on ground chain section and that also help in preserving project schedule. The development of innovative contracting and supply chain management strategies such as competitive bidding exercise and leverage on contractor expertise to drive the efficient execution. Virtual working setting is a new way of working in marine assurances due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. This paper will provide a board overview of various aspects of Malikai Phase 2 brownfield development during pandemic condition while highlighting key success factors and lesson learned for future projects.

"Appraising Security of Upstream Gas Supply of Complex Network via Integrated Modeling & Simulation for Minimizing Value Leakage for Hydrocarbon Chain for Malaysian Asset." In SPE/IATMI Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/205797-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Gas supply security plays a vital role in ensuring the continuity of the power generation and distribution for one of Malaysian State. Unplanned deferments at offshore facilities creates enormous impacts on gas quantity leading to loss/lowering of power generation. Such occurrences lead to value leakage and hinders the expansion strategies by non-firming of investment decisions. It therefore becomes imperative as prudent operator to sustain upstream gas supply by ensuring the security by appropriate strategies in occurrence of such events. Also, for complex facilities it is decisive to have comprehensive understanding of network characteristic, offshore supplies distributions and topology in terms of hydraulics & flow regimes from multiple fields to ensure security of gas supply to customers. This paper proposes an approach to endorse the security of gas supply during normal and ad hoc situations by aligning the relevant feeders to respective demand centers thru comprehensible network modeling and ensure the optimized system response operating envelope for such events. An innovative process was commenced to design, develop, validate, and deploy the network simulation model to cater for the technical characteristics in terms of ullage, hydraulic first principles, blending aspects and safety features during aligning of the respective feeders. The landscape includes around 100+ feeders, multiple export pipelines, several gas highways, and many demand centers with each of its specific requirement. The inline equipment such as pressure boosters with performance curves (compressors/pumps), pressure manipulators (control valves) also formed the integral portion of the model for resilient outputs. Also, the equation of state (for thermodynamic behavior) and appropriate flow co-relation (for pressure drop estimations) were embedded in the model for representative results. The model was validated thoroughly with the plant data by identifying critical junction points to have realistic consequences. Input to the model were classified as engineering input (static such as design capacity, pressure limits, maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP)) and operational inputs (flow allocations, priority of supply, precedence in operation of demand centers). The process was looped to reallocate the feeders till the required intent is met for the supply as well as on technical aspects. The simulation model could decipher the pain points across the various intensity of the networks such as pressure choking, unintended flow distribution, violations of the resultant specifications and potential breach in the safety limitations. Several iterations could be accomplished in terms of permutations and combinations to align appropriate feeders. The scenarios could be also optimized for the optimal value ranking of the fields to be evacuated for designated demand centers. The simulation model could suggest amendments in the operating strategy such as clustering of sweet/sour fields, integrated contaminant management system, and addition of loop lines to ensure the hydrocarbon molecule travels the intended path. Also, model assisted in generating the heat maps in terms of pressure concentration, flow dispersal and other aspects to have the big picture of the asset which can be probed as required. Network Modeling could recommend the relevant swing fields or alteration in the configuration in case of unforeseen circumstances if it occurs to ensure the security of supply of gas is intact to cater necessities. The approach could recommend that the upstream security of gas supply could be enhanced or endorsed via usage of Network Modeling by either by apposite changes in the operating philosophy and/or configuration. It also resulted into nurture trust of the stakeholder to empower the power generation using gas as fuel and business continuity is ensured for upstream.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Loss Of Primary Containment (LOPC) due to hydrocarbon leakage from bolted flange joint has always been one of the main issues that leads to catastrophic fire and explosion in operating platforms and plants. Oil and gas companies have been putting many efforts to reduce Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) incidences due to the flange joint integrity issues. PETRONAS, which operates many oil and gas platforms, has also made series of improvement in lesson learnt and enhanced best practices to find a wholesome solution to achieve sustainable zero hydrocarbon leak from bolted flange joint. Loss Of Primary Containment (LOPC) due to hydrocarbon leakage from bolted flange joint is one of major concerns in oil and gas industry, which may cause catastrophic fire and explosion at platforms and plants. Bolted Flange Joint Integrity (BFJI) digitalization program is designed to emphasize on end-to-end digital solution addressing three main important aspects towards sustainable flange leak free operation that included correct design and specification, good quality flange joint components and correct work execution.

Full textAbstract:
To date, there is a wide range of research in Asia, America and Europe on the “first wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic. These studies prove that the main negative factors affecting the mental and somatic health of people include measures of social distancing. In most countries of the world, in order to reduce the burden on the health system, quarantine was introduced. The decrease in social contacts of people due to forced self-isolation caused some psychological problems such as loneliness, stress, fear, apathy. Also, the issue of professional burnout among medical personnel working with COVID-infected patients in conditions of extreme stress and the threat of infection is relevant.

Integrating Palliative Care in Ambulatory Care of Noncancer Serious Chronic Illness: A Systematic Review. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), February 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepccer237.
Full textAbstract:
Objectives. To evaluate availability, effectiveness, and implementation of interventions for integrating palliative care into ambulatory care for U.S.-based adults with serious life-threatening chronic illness or conditions other than cancer and their caregivers We evaluated interventions addressing identification of patients, patient and caregiver education, shared decision-making tools, clinician education, and models of care. Data sources. We searched key U.S. national websites (March 2020) and PubMed®, CINAHL®, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (through May 2020). We also engaged Key Informants. Review methods. We completed a mixed-methods review; we sought, synthesized, and integrated Web resources; quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies; and input from patient/caregiver and clinician/stakeholder Key Informants. Two reviewers screened websites and search results, abstracted data, assessed risk of bias or study quality, and graded strength of evidence (SOE) for key outcomes: health-related quality of life, patient overall symptom burden, patient depressive symptom scores, patient and caregiver satisfaction, and advance directive documentation. We performed meta-analyses when appropriate. Results. We included 46 Web resources, 20 quantitative effectiveness studies, and 16 qualitative implementation studies across primary care and specialty populations. Various prediction models, tools, and triggers to identify patients are available, but none were evaluated for effectiveness or implementation. Numerous patient and caregiver education tools are available, but none were evaluated for effectiveness or implementation. All of the shared decision-making tools addressed advance care planning; these tools may increase patient satisfaction and advance directive documentation compared with usual care (SOE: low). Patients and caregivers prefer advance care planning discussions grounded in patient and caregiver experiences with individualized timing. Although numerous education and training resources for nonpalliative care clinicians are available, we were unable to draw conclusions about implementation, and none have been evaluated for effectiveness. The models evaluated for integrating palliative care were not more effective than usual care for improving health-related quality of life or patient depressive symptom scores (SOE: moderate) and may have little to no effect on increasing patient satisfaction or decreasing overall symptom burden (SOE: low), but models for integrating palliative care were effective for increasing advance directive documentation (SOE: moderate). Multimodal interventions may have little to no effect on increasing advance directive documentation (SOE: low) and other graded outcomes were not assessed. For utilization, models for integrating palliative care were not found to be more effective than usual care for decreasing hospitalizations; we were unable to draw conclusions about most other aspects of utilization or cost and resource use. We were unable to draw conclusions about caregiver satisfaction or specific characteristics of models for integrating palliative care. Patient preferences for appropriate timing of palliative care varied; costs, additional visits, and travel were seen as barriers to implementation. Conclusions. For integrating palliative care into ambulatory care for serious illness and conditions other than cancer, advance care planning shared decision-making tools and palliative care models were the most widely evaluated interventions and may be effective for improving only a few outcomes. More research is needed, particularly on identification of patients for these interventions; education for patients, caregivers, and clinicians; shared decision-making tools beyond advance care planning and advance directive completion; and specific components, characteristics, and implementation factors in models for integrating palliative care into ambulatory care.
