Salmonella Serovars

From 1950 to 1990 a total of 45,862 strains (31,517 isolates from human sources, and 14,345 of non-human origin) were identified at Instituto Adolfo Lutz. No prevalence of any serovars was seen during the period 1950-66 among human sources isolates. Important changing pattern was seen in 1968, when S. Typhimurim surprisingly increased becoming the prevalent serovar in the following decades. During the period of 1970-76, S. Typhimurium represented 77.7% of all serovars of human origin. Significant rise in S. Agona isolation as well as in the number of different serovars among human sources strains were seen in the late 70' and the 80's. More than one hundred different serovars were identified among non-human origin strains. Among serovars isolated from human sources, 74.9%, 15.5%, and 3.7% were recovered from stool, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid cultures, respectively. The outbreak of meningitis by S. Grumpensis in the 60's, emphasizes the concept that any Salmonella serovars can be a cause of epidemics, mainly of the nosocomial origin. This evaluation covering a long period shows the important role of the Public Health Laboratory in the surveillance of salmonellosis, one of the most frequent zoonosis in the world.

Public Health Literacy

Public health professionals recognize the critical role the law plays in determining the success of public health measures. Even before September 11, 2001, public health experience with tobacco use, HIV, industrial pollution and other potent threats to the health of the public demonstrated that laws can assist or thwart public health efforts. The new focus on infectious threats and bioterrorism, starting with the anthrax attacks through the mail and continuing with SARS, has highlighted the important role of law.For lawyers to serve as effective partners in public health, they should have a basic familiarity with public health: how public health professionals see the world and the key issues they tackle. A practical grasp of public health can be acquired, and often is acquired, “on the job.”

First Time

The Public Health Laboratory Network had its inaugural meeting on 26 June 1997. The meeting was chaired by Professor Lyn Gilbert who played a pivotal role in establishing this group. This was the first time that all the state and territory public health laboratory directors had been called to meet together. Members expressed a strong desire to communicate more closely on issues of public health importance and recognised the importance of promoting the role of public health laboratories in outbreak investigations and routine and enhanced surveillance.

Hypertension is a problem for 1.13 billion people in the world according to who in 2015. Among the efforts to reduce hypertension is the involvement of cadres in providing education in the community. However, the role of cadres has not looked optimal because they do not have enough knowledge about hypertension. The purpose of the Uin Syarif Hidayatullah Public Health Team to conduct Training of Trainer (ToT) is to improve the knowledge and skills of cadres about hypertension in order to support the community.   The methods used are the provision of materials, simulations and practices of counseling in the community.   The participants involved in this activity were all cadres in RW 09 Pondok Benda Village, South Tangerang. The results obtained a 35% increase in knowledge in cadres about hypertension. ToT activities can help cadres to educate the public about hypertension. So it can reduce the incidence of hypertension.   Keywords: Cadres, Hypertension, Training of Trainer   Abstrak   Hipertensi menjadi masalah 1.13 miliyar orang didunia menurut WHO tahun 2015. Diantara upaya penurunan hipertensi adalah pelibatan kader dalam memberikan edukasi dimasyarakat. Namun, peran kader belum terlihat optimal dikarenakan belum memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup mengenai hipertensi. Tujuan dari Tim Kesehatan Masyarakat UIN Syarif Hidayatullah melakukan kegiatan Training of Trainer (ToT) adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader mengenai hipertensi agar bisa mengdukasi   masyarakat.   Metode   yang   digunakan   adalah   pemberian   materi, simulasi   dan praktik penyuluhan di masyarakat.   Peserta yang terlibat dalam kegiatan ini adalah seluruh kader di RW 09 Kelurahan Pondok Benda, Tangerang Selatan. Hasil yang didapatkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan sebesar 35% pada kader mengenai hipertensi.

Conceptual Foundations

The main content of the work consists of certain systematization and addition of longexisting, but eventually deformed and partly lost qualitative ideas about the role of thermal and wind factors that determine the physical mechanism of the World Ocean’s General Circulation System (OGCS). It is noted that the conceptual foundations of the theory of the OGCS in one form or another are contained in the works of many well-known hydrophysicists of the last century, but the aggregate, logically coherent description of the key factors determining the physical model of the OGCS in the public literature is not so easy to find. An attempt is made to clarify and concretize some general ideas about the two key blocks that form the basis of an adequate physical model of the system of oceanic water masses motion in a climatic scale. Attention is drawn to the fact that when analyzing the OGCS it is necessary to take into account not only immediate but also indirect effects of thermal and wind factors on the ocean surface. In conclusion, it is noted that, in the end, by the uneven flow of heat to the surface of the ocean can be explained the nature of both external and almost all internal factors, in one way or another contributing to the excitation of the general, or climatic, ocean circulation.
