Abstract The Special Region of Yogyakarta Government took one step to improve access to proper sanitation for the community through the Communal WWTP. There are four communal WWTP procurement programs in Sleman District: Community-based Sanitation, Urban Sanitation Rural Infrastructure (USRI), Special Allocation Fund and Community-based Environmental Sanitation. After the Communal WWTP was built and operated, various problems indicate the Communal WWTP has not run optimally after construction. Therefore, this study evaluated thirteen Communal WWTPs in Sleman District after construction was carried out. The aspects reviewed in this study were the administrator institutional and the management’s performance using the scoring method. The evaluation results based on the administrator institutional aspect and the management’s performance showed that Ambarketawang WWTP had less performance with a total score of 16. At the same time, other WWTPs got the optimal category with a total score more than equal to 25. These results indicate that the Community-Based Environmental Sanitation procurement program was considered less than optimal because the Ambarketawang WWTP did not keep Communal WWTP documentation and had no maintenance Standard Operational Procedure (SOP). The administrators did not also understand the main tasks and functions as administrators.

Abstract Background HIV incidence among South African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) remains high, but could be reduced by highly effective pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Unfortunately, AGYW report significant barriers to clinic-based sexual and reproductive health services. Even when AGYW access PrEP as an HIV prevention method, poor prevention-effective use was a serious barrier to achieving its optimal HIV prevention benefits. Determining the acceptability and feasibility of community-based platforms to increase AGYW’s access to PrEP, and evaluating behavioural interventions to improve prevention-effective use of PrEP are needed. Methods We propose a mixed-methods study among AGYW aged 16–25 years in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. In the first component, a cross-sectional study will assess the acceptability and feasibility of leveraging community-based HIV counselling and testing (CBCT) platforms to refer HIV-negative, at-risk AGYW to non-clinic-based, same-day PrEP initiation services. In the second component, we will enrol 480 AGYW initiating PrEP via our CBCT platforms into a three-armed (1:1:1) randomized control trial (RCT) that will evaluate the effectiveness of adherence support interventions to improve the prevention-effective use of PrEP. Adherence will be measured over 24 months via tenofovir-diphosphate blood concentration levels. Qualitative investigations will explore participant, staff, and community experiences associated with community-based PrEP services, adherence support activities, study implementation, and community awareness. Costs and scalability of service platforms and interventions will be evaluated. Discussion This will be the first study to assess the acceptability and feasibility of leveraging CBCT platforms to identify and refer at-risk AGYW to community-based, same-day PrEP initiation services. It will also provide quantitative and qualitative results to inform adherence support activities and services that promote the prevention-effective use of PrEP among AGYW. By applying principles of implementation science, behavioural science, and health economics research, we aim to inform strategies to improve access to and prevention-effective use of PrEP by AGYW.

Affordable technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation approaches can improve access to rehabilitation for low-resource environments characterized by the limited availability of rehabilitation experts and poor rehabilitation infrastructure. This paper describes the evolution of an approach to the implementation of affordable, technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation which relies on low-cost mechatronic/robot devices integrated with off-the-shelf or custom games. Important lessons learned from the evolution and use of Theradrive in the USA and in Mexico are briefly described. We present how a stronger and more compact version of the Theradrive is leveraged in the development of a new low-cost, all-in-one robot gym with four exercise stations for upper and lower limb therapy called Rehab Community-based Affordable Robot Exercise System (Rehab C.A.R.E.S). Three of the exercise stations are designed to accommodate versions of the 1 DOF haptic Theradrive with different custom handles or off-the-shelf commercial motion machine. The fourth station leverages a unique configuration of Wii-boards. Overall, results from testing versions of Theradrive in USA and Mexico in a robot gym suggest that the resulting presentation of the Rehab C.A.R.E.S robot gym can be deployed as an affordable computer/robot-assisted solution for stroke rehabilitation in developed and developing countries.

In Indonesia there is a number of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Plant or Community-based Sanitation (called SANIMAS) locations. In this study, the survey locations included Tangerang – Serang Province, Surabaya – East Java Province, Yogyakarta Province and Bali Province. These locations were selected for the following considerations: variation of influent into the SANIMAS system, ease of access to the SANIMAS manager, availability of resources and data completeness of the system and the distance to the available wastewater laboratory. Most of the SANIMAS, systems applied in Indonesia were developed by BORDA having a similar shape and size. The study found that the typical BORDA biodigester (with a diameter of 3 meter) could work well at the loading rate of 1 kg-COD/day/m3 of biodigester, and it could reduce COD up to 3.5 kg-COD/day. If all of the removed COD was converted into biogas, it would produce 1,850 L of biogas/day, with the concentration of CH4 in biogas of about 75%. Moreover, the SANIMAS system operation was very simple; in general, there were no obstacles in the operation of SANIMAS system, neither in communal, tofu-tempe industries, nor in treating cattle dung. However, there were several constraints/problems associated with the system performance and SANIMAS system as a whole found in this study.

The information on the incoming load to wastewater treatment plants is not often available to apply modelling for evaluating the effect of control actions on a full-scale plant. In this paper, a time series model was developed to forecast flow rate, COD, NH+4-N and PO3-4-P in influent by using 250 days data of field plant operation data. The data for 150 days and 100 days were used for model development and model validation, respectively. The missing data were interpolated by the spline method and the time series model. Three different methods were proposed for model development: one model and one-step to seven-step ahead forecasting (Method 1); seven models and one-step-ahead forecasting (Method 2); and one model and one-step-ahead forecasting (Method 3). Method 3 featured only one-step-ahead forecasting that could avoid the accumulated error and give simple estimation of coefficients. Therefore, Method 3 was the reliable approach to developing the time series model for the purpose of this research.

O abastecimento por água potável, o esgotamento sanitário, a coleta e disposição de resíduos sólidos e a drenagem pluvial urbana são serviços públicos indispensáveis para uma cidade, pois se relacionam diretamente com a saúde coletiva, a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos e a qualidade ambiental. A partir de dados de fácil aquisição pretendeu-se conhecer a qualidade do saneamento ambiental que o espaço urbano de uma cidade apresentava para que os gestores públicos possam planejar a área urbana de acordo com as necessidades de seus cidadãos e diminuir as deficiências encontradas no saneamento ambiental. O objetivo desse artigo foi desenvolver um Indicador de Qualidade de Saneamento Básico Urbano (IQSBU) e aplicá-lo às cidades paranaenses com mais de 100.000 habitantes, de 2000 a 2008. Para isso, foi necessário: (i) coletar dados sobre saneamento ambiental; (ii) determinar parâmetros limites dos dados escolhidos; (iii) calcular os indicadores de qualidade para cada cidade; e, (iv) comparar os resultados obtidos entre as cidades. Após o término desse estudo, constatou-se a falta de informações sobre o saneamento ambiental urbano, em especial sobre resíduos sólidos e drenagem. Isso implica em dificuldades na gestão e no planejamento urbano. Com relação aos resultados, conclui-se que, no geral, as cidades apresentaram uma boa qualidade de saneamento básico, em pelo menos um ano do período. Observou-se, entretanto, que nenhuma cidade atingiu ótima qualidade dos serviços de saneamento básico (> 80,0). As cidades que não tiveram nenhum valor de IQSBU acima de 60 foram: Apucarana, Araucária e Colombo. O ano com melhores resultados de IQSBU e, consequentemente, de maior repasse das informações pelos municípios ao sistema Development of Qualit y Index in Basic Urban Sanitation and its Application in the Towns of the State of Paraná, Brazil ABSTRACT: Drinkable water supply, sewerage, the collection and disposal of solid wastes and urban rain drains are indispensible public services in towns and cities that are concerned with the health of the community, life quality and environment. Easily acquired data provided the quality of environmental sanitation that the town or city offered so that government administrators could plan the urban area according to the needs of its citizens and decrease the deficiencies in environmental sanitation. Current assay developed a Quality Index of Basic Urban Sanitation to be applied to cities with over 100,000 inhabitants in the state of Paraná, Brazil, between 2000 and 2008. (1) The collection of data on environmental sanitation, (2) the determination of limit parameters of chosen data; (3) the calculation of quality indicators for each city; (4) the comparison of results from cities were required. The study registered a dire lack of information on urban environmental sanitation, especially on solid residues and sewerage. The above implies difficulties with regard to administration and urban planning. Results show that, as a rule, the cities under analysis offered a rather good basic sanitation within at least one year. However, no city had the best quality in basic sanitation service (> 80.0). The cities with no quality rate above 60 comprised Apucarana, Araucária and Colombo. The year 2006 was the best for Quality Index information and, consequently, for the highest transmission of information by the municipalities to the system. During 2006 the highest Quality Index rate belonged to Londrina (78.3) and the lowest to Colombo (49.8). KEYWORDS: Environmental Administration; Index; Urban Planning
