Florence and Swallowfield. The very names symbolize the high and the low visibility now associated with Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Mary Russell Mitford. Other contrasts could be drawn. The stifling sick-room and the garden of geraniums, the “poetess” and wife of Robert Browning and the “authoress” of Our Village who was the only child of Dr. Mitford, country gentleman. Or, to mention a point on which Miss Mitford showed some sensitivity, a life of financial freedom versus one of financial uncertainty. What was the attraction which insured the constant and copious interchange of letters, a record which can only be labelled remarkable in a century of remarkable letter-writers? The answer is a multiple one, as whoever reads Elizabeth's side of this correspondence will discover. But such a reader will also discover a whole host of subjects and figures which will give him fresh insights into the public and private lives of the correspondents, their families, and their literary circles. The excerpt which follows indicates the ease with which Elizabeth Barrett shared her thoughts with Miss Mitford whether on topics creative or critical, domestic or political, and whether uttered in sickness or in relatively good health.

Effective Interventions

This article describes two models for thinking about the purposes of health education—a medical model and an educationmodel—andtraces how concerns about the validity of research have driven preferencefor the medical model. In the medical model, the purpose of health education is to develop effective interventions that will prevent people from adopting unhealthy behaviors. Here, health educators are expected to replicate the methods identified by researchers to effect targeted changes in health behavior. The article then describes an alternative way of thinking about the purposes of health education. In pursuing a philosophy of education, the purpose of research and practice would be to clarify basic social values and to strengthen one's faculty for making value judgments. Practitioners here use research results as a stimulus for dialogue about the role of good health habits in living the kind of life that community members find most valuable.

Global Eradication

Contrary to the standard view that health is a private good, health should be viewed as a public good: its benefits are nonexcludable and nonrivalrous. Health should, in fact, be understood as a global public good, in light of globalization. Chapter 6 illustrates this analysis with reference to the global eradication of smallpox. Understanding health as a global public good, rather than as a private good, has implications for a nation’s moral obligations to newcomers and the health policy that its government crafts: one person’s health can adversely affect another’s health, and good health can benefit many. Given the public good dimensions of health, failure to help newcomers in need of care may not only be counterproductive because it puts the health of all at risk, it may also violate basic principles of fairness, reciprocity and justice.

This chapter outlines innovative approaches to maintain a healthy, happy, and safe community. The wider determinants of health — housing, environment, leisure, income, and education — are well recognised and are just as important as access to good health care. If we want to develop long-term strategies to enable social and cultural change with new models of care, more community-based responsibility for our neighbours and more freedoms and flexibilities to help us make better choices, then the role of place is key. place-based approaches, involving health and social care integration and outcome commissioning, have been developed with a view to a consideration of 'health' in all council planning. This reflects the place-based approach that is being promoted by the London Borough of Sutton as it delegates its statutory duties across the range of services it manages, collaborating with other statutory and third sector organisations within and beyond the two parliamentary constituencies of Sutton and Cheam, and Carshalton and Wallington. A place-based approach to health and wellbeing, in its widest sense, can bring together all parts of the public sector to focus on positive outcomes.

The World

The 2020 coronavirus pandemic caused countries across the world to implement measures of social distancing to curb spreading of COVID-19. The large and sudden disruptions to everyday life that result from this are likely to impact well-being, particularly among urban populations that live in dense settings with limited public space. In this paper, we argue that during these extraordinary circumstances, urban nature offers resilience for maintaining well-being in urban populations, while enabling social distancing. We discuss more generally the critical role of urban nature in times of crisis. Cities around the world need to take the step into the 21st century by accepting crises as a new reality and finding ways to function during these disturbances. Thus, maintaining or increasing space for nature in cities and keeping it accessible to the public should be part of the sustainability agenda, aiming simultaneously to strive towards SDG 3 (good health and well-being), and SDG 11 (sustainable and resilient cities).

Abstract: Good living behavior is a community habit that upholds health aspects, such as managing cleanliness and environmental health, maintaining physical and psychological fitness, and providing adequate nutritional intake to achieve good health standards. Community Service Activities regarding the culture of healthy living during this pandemic were carried out by a teaching team from the Faculty of Humanities Sciences, Padjadjaran University. The activity method used is education with techniques of extension, consultation, and diffusion of knowledge which are all held virtually. To obtain comprehensive data, the implementation team distributed a questionnaire about the culture of healthy living to the primary target public, namely students of the Faculty, and the secondary target public, namely student families. Activities were carried out in July 2020 in three stages, namely the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results of the activity showed that PPM activities regarding healthy cultural behavior to the public of students and their families were well organized and following the protocol for preventing the transmission of Covid-19. Also, it is known that the biggest impact of a pandemic is economic. Keywords: covid-19; culture of healthy living; pandemic; virtual socialization  Abstrak: Perilaku hidup sehat adalah kebiasaan masyarakat yang menjunjung tinggi aspek-aspek kesehatan, seperti pengelolaan kebersihan dan kesehatan lingkungan, menjaga kebugaran fisik dan psikis, serta pemberian asupan nutrisi yang cukup sehingga tercapai standar kesehatan yang baik.

The public who need the health service also expect a good, quick, friendly and polite service. It is the manifestation of the health officers’ performance which would be judged by the public. A good performance will satisfy the public. The objective of this research was to know the relation between the health officers’ performance and the public satisfaction of Puskesmas Adan-Adan’s health service in Kediri Regency 2017.The design of this research was correlational analytics with cross sectional approach. The population was all Puskesmas Adan-Adan’s service users and 100 respondents were taken as samples by quota sampling technique. The independent variable was the health officers’ performance and the dependent variable was the public’s satisfaction of the health service, and all data was analyzed with Spearman Correlation Test. The research showed that 76 respondents (76%) had a good perception of the health officers’ performance, 55 respondents (55.6%) of totally 100 respondents felt very satisfied of the health service, and there was a relation between the health officers’ performance and the public’s satisfaction of the health service (p value = 0.000 < 0.05 H0 was rejected). The relation level was strong and positive (Correlation coefficient = 0.717), it means the better the health officers’ performance is, the more satisfied of the health service the public will be and vice versa. Because with good health officers’ performance the expectation of good service will have been fulfilled.The conclusion was the health officers’ performance would become the most dominant factor to manifest the public’s satisfaction of the health service. The health officers were recommended to maintain their performances of health service in order to achieve the public’s satisfaction.

State Of Israel

The relation between urbanization and pandemics is not new. In fact, the “reformative” urban plans of the late 19th and early 20th centuries sought the addition of green patches, reliable running water systems, good sanitation, and sunlight to fend off the common ailments of the industrial city. No wonder then that these urban planning elements are also compatible with the Covid-19 era, as ample green and low-density areas are supposed to ensure or at least support quality of life and good health, even amid the health crisis we face today. This article examines whether additional elements tie together urban fabrics and coping with crises, particularly pandemics. To answer this question, I examine national urban planning in the state of Israel from the mid-20th century onwards. Urban planning in Israel has implemented theories and precedents from Europe and America; however, Israeli planners have also included nationalist-ideological contents in their work, so that the state and its interests have dictated their planning. The article concludes that the state interest of producing a cohesive society has created Israeli urban fabrics with community values and proximity to green areas, which are better suited for individual coping with crises involving the denial of personal freedom, whether due to a pandemic or any other reason. Accordingly, it proposes viewing these elements as suggestive of the need for significant involvement by public representatives in future urban renewal efforts.

Smart Farming

“Smart” or “precision” farming has revolutionized crop agriculture but its application to livestock farming has raised ethical concerns because of its possible adverse effects on animal welfare. With rising public concern for animal welfare across the world, some people see the efficiency gains offered by the new technology as a direct threat to the animals themselves, allowing producers to get “more for less” in the interests of profit. Others see major welfare advantages through life-long health monitoring, delivery of individual care and optimization of environmental conditions. The answer to the question of whether smart farming improves or damages animal welfare is likely to depend on three main factors. Firstly, much will depend on how welfare is defined and the extent to which politicians, scientists, farmers and members of the public can agree on what welfare means and so come to a common view on how to judge how it is impacted by technology. Defining welfare as a combination of good health and what the animals themselves want provides a unifying and animal-centered way forward. It can also be directly adapted for computer recognition of welfare. A second critical factor will be whether high welfare standards are made a priority within smart farming systems. To achieve this, it will be necessary both to develop computer algorithms that can recognize welfare to the satisfaction of both the public and farmers and also to build good welfare into the control and decision-making of smart systems. What will matter most in the end, however, is a third factor, which is whether smart farming can actually deliver its promised improvements in animal welfare when applied in the real world. An ethical evaluation will only be possible when the new technologies are more widely deployed on commercial farms and their full social, environmental, financial and welfare implications become apparent.
