Mainly based on Singapore’s workplace safety and health (construction) regulations 2007 and China’s safety management measures for section(subsection) works with major hazards 2009, the paper introduces and analyzes the Singapore’s safety management system for high-risk construction works, and simply compares it with the management mechanism of China’s section(subsection) works with major hazards, the following conclusions are drawn: (1) The application scopes of Singapore’s high-risk construction work permit-to-work system and China’s the management mechanism of section(subsection) works with major hazards are different, and generally speaking, the former includes more construction works than the latter. (2) The mechanisms of Singapore’s high-risk construction work permit-to-work and China’s management of section/ subsection works with major hazards are different. (3) In Singapore no independent construction safety supervision system exists, while in China it is usually required by the laws. (4) In Singapore any person who contravenes any provision of workplace safety and health (construction) regulations 2007 which imposes a duty on him shall be guilty of an offence and may be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years; in China any person who contravenes any provision of safety production law, building law and corresponding safety regulations but doesn’t lead to serious consequences shall not be liable on conviction to imprisonment. (5) In Singapore the safety assessor evaluating and endorsing the application for a permit-to-work must assume his lawful duty for his undue conducts and decisions, in China the safety experts responsible for checking the special safety construction scheme needn’t assume any lawful duty.

Background. In modern society, there is an intensive increase in the incidence of arterial hypertension among young people, which is mainly due to lifestyle characteristics and related risk factors.Objective: to analyze the results of scientific researches of domestic and foreign authors regarding the study of risk factors in the development of arterial hypertension in children.Material and methods. A qualitative analysis of the current literature data on the risk factors for arterial hypertension and its prevention has been carried out.Results. It has been established that the occurrence of arterial hypertension in childhood is due to not only hereditary, but also a number of environmental risk factors.Conclusions. Further researches are needed to study new and established risk factors that must be considered when conducting primary prevention of the disease in children at high risk.

Pendahulan: Neuritis Optik (ON) didefinisikan sebagai inflamasi pada saraf optik, yang sebagian besar idiopatik. Namun dapat dikaitkan dengan penyebab lain seperti lesi demielinasi, gangguan autoimun, infeksi dan inflamasi. Dari semua ini, multiple sclerosis (MS) adalah penyebab paling umum dari demielinasi ON. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui diagnosis dan tatalaksana neuritis optik demielinasi. Metode: Artikel ini dibuat dengan metode literature review, melibatkan 29 pustaka baik buku dan jurnal nasional atau internasional. Hasil: ON terjadi karena proses inflamasi yang mengarah pada aktivasi sel-T yang dapat melewati sawar darah otak dan menyebabkan reaksi hipersensitivitas terhadap struktur saraf. Mekanisme pastinya belum diketahui. Diagnosis klinis ON terdiri dari tiga gejala klasik yaitu kehilangan penglihatan, nyeri periokular dan dischromatopsia. Hal ini membutuhkan pemeriksaan oftalmik, neurologis dan sistemik yang cermat untuk membedakan antara ON spesifik dan tidak. Diagnosis banding diperlukan untuk membuat rencana tatalaksana yang tepat. Pembahasan: Menurut Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial (ONTT), pengobatan pertama adalah metilprednisolon intravena dengan pemulihan yang lebih cepat dan lebih sedikit kemungkinan kasus relaps dan konversi ke MS. Namun prednisolon oral saja dikontraindikasikan karena peningkatan risiko relaps. Controlled High-Risk Subjects Avonex® Multiple Sclerosis Prevention Study (CHAMPS) dan Early Treatment of MS study (ETOMS) dan telah melaporkan bahwa pengobatan dengan interferon β-1a, dengan hasil pengurangan risiko karakteristik MS dari MRI. Sensitivitas kontras, penglihatan warna dan bidang visual adalah parameter yang sebagian besar tetap terganggu bahkan setelah pemulihan ketajaman visual yang baik. Simpulan: Tatalaksana pada neuritis optik demielinasi dominan diberikan steroid dan interferon β-1a.   Kata kunci: demielinasi, multipel skeloris, neuritis optik, tatalaksana

Introduction: Newborn represent a population at high risk for brain damage. Intracranial hemorrhages in newborn are uncommon, and epidural hematoma (EH) is rare. Material and methods: The authors present a literature review about EH in newborn. Results: EH in newborn occurs in only 2% and is frequently associated with the type of delivery. The clinical presentation is asymptomatic or heterogeneous. The diagnosis is made from anamnesis and imaging exams, and the treatment depends on the size of the EH. Conclusion: The knowledge of neurosurgeons, obstetricians and pediatricians about the occurrence of EH in newborn is extremely important. The rapid identification and management of the case is of paramount importance, to reduce neurological sequelae.

The prevalence of HIV/AIDS had been increasing due to the lack of awareness of people to use or access VCT services, especially those with high risk. Many factors affect people and people at high risk of accessing VCT services. The study aims to describe barriers that arise in the implementation of the VCT program. The research method was a literature review from electronic database such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Keyword search included barrier, Voluntary Counseling and Testing, and HIV VCT. Selected 9 articles published from 2018 to 2020. The results of the study of all articles founded that barriers in the implementation of VCT in the form of lack of knowledge, fear, and shame when taking an HIV test, difficulty in communicating because of hearing impairment so that the information received was not enough, stigma from the community and health workers, barriers to limited operational hours of VCT services, lack of staff as program implementers, limited competence due to lack of training, and limited health infrastructure/facilities. Keywords: barrier; VCT; HIV/AIDS ABSTRAK Prevalensi HIV/AIDS semakin meningkat karena kurangnya kesadaran orang-orang untuk memanfaatkan atau mengakses layanan VCT terutama mereka dengan risiko tinggi. Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi masyarakat maupun orang dengan risiko tinggi dalam mengakses layanan VCT.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to obtain an understanding of the links between maternal postpartum depression, poor parenting and childhood abuse, and the subsequent development of adult psychopathology in children from these families. Method: A literature review was undertaken of studies on postpartum depression looking at parental childhood abuse, parenting and child outcomes, as well as childhood abuse and its association with adult depression and parenting difficulties. Results: Considerable overlap is noted in predisposing factors for major depression, postpartum depression, inadequate parenting and childhood abuse. Links appear to begin in early infancy, suggesting postpartum depression as a possible mechanism for intergenerational transmission of psychopathology. Conclusions: Further research is required to look at the outcome of children of women who are at high risk of chronic or recurrent depression and of difficulties parenting; the postpartum period is the optimum time for identification and intervention.
