Increased Risk

Malaria is still a public health problem in Pangandaran Regency. Increasing imported malaria cases from year to year become the main problem since Pangandaran is a tourist destination and is currently doing development in the tourism sector. This study aimed to look at socio-cultural factors in the community that contribute to the increased risk of malaria transmission. This research was conducted with interviews and environmental observations. Respondents were randomly selected from the population living in the District of Pangandaran. The results showed that the habit of going out at night, traveling to endemic areas, and choosing potential breeding places around settlements or tourist attractions would increase the risk of malaria transmission in Pangandaran. In this context, health workers need to discuss and provide understanding to the community about the dangers of malaria transmission so that people become more concerned and make independent prevention eff orts. The development of tourist destinations must also consider environmental factors sMalaria merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang ditemukan di wilayah Kabupaten Pangandaran. Peningkatan kasus malaria impor dari tahun ke tahun menjadi masalah terutama karena Pangandaran merupakan daerah tujuan wisata dan sedang melakukan pengembangan di sektor pariwisata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat faktor sosial budaya di masyarakat yang memiliki potensi meningkatkan risiko penularan malaria. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan wawancara dan pengamatan lingkungan. Responden dipilih secara acak dari penduduk yang tinggal di wilayah Kecamatan Pangandaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebiasaan keluar malam, kebiasaan bepergian/merantau ke luar kota termasuk ke daerah endemis dan keberadaan tempat perindukan potensial di sekitar pemukiman atau objek wisata akan meningkatkan risiko penularan malaria di Pangandaran. Dalam konteks ini, para petugas kesehatan perlu melakukan pendekatan menyeluruh dan memberikan pengertian kepada masyarakat tentang bahaya penularan malaria sehingga masyarakat menjadi lebih peduli dan melakukan upaya pencegahan secara mandiri. Pengembangan daerah wisata pun harus memperhatikan faktor-faktor lingkungan seperti letak tempat perindukan potensial Anopheles spp. uch as potential places for Anopheles spp brood. Abstrak

The new normal phase has already begun. The tourism sector is slowly starting to operate. Setigi (Selo Tirto Giri) is a new tourist destination in the Gresik Regency region that gets priority from the local government to operate. As a new tourist destination, Setigi should have the right development guide. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach for 1 (one) month, where we focused on aspects of qualitative data that refer to the criteria and indicators of tourism destination development. We collect data by field observations, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, supported by quantitative non-reactive data. The analysis was carried out by the IFAS/EFAS analysis phase, followed by the SWOT/TOWS Matrix analysis technique. This research reveals that, in general, the management of Setigi is in harmony with the principles of the development of tourist destinations and tourist attractions. The manager has also strived to implement the Sapta Pesona criteria into the management of Setigi. However, there are some notes to improve Setigi's performance towards better tourism destinations.

Abstract Background Exposure to discrimination can have a negative impact on health. There is little robust evidence on the prevalence of exposure of people with disabilities to discrimination, the sources and nature of discrimination they face, and the personal and contextual factors associated with increased risk of exposure. Methods Secondary analysis of de-identified cross-sectional data from the three waves of the UK’s ‘Life Opportunities Survey’. Results In the UK (i) adults with disabilities were over three times more likely than their peers to be exposed to discrimination, (ii) the two most common sources of discrimination were strangers in the street and health staff and (iii) discrimination was more likely to be reported by participants who were younger, more highly educated, who were unemployed or economically inactive, who reported financial stress or material hardship and who had impairments associated with hearing, memory/speaking, dexterity, behavioural/mental health, intellectual/learning difficulties and breathing. Conclusions Discrimination faced by people with disabilities is an under-recognised public health problem that is likely to contribute to disability-based health inequities. Public health policy, research and practice needs to concentrate efforts on developing programs that reduce discrimination experienced by people with disabilities.

AbstractIntroductionWith the global spread of COVID-19, there is a compelling public health interest in quantifying who is at increased risk of disease. Occupational characteristics, such as interfacing with the public and being in close quarters with other workers, not only put workers at high risk for disease, but also make them a nexus of disease transmission to the community. This can further be exacerbated through presenteeism, the term used to describe the act of coming to work despite being symptomatic for disease. Understanding which occupational groups are exposed to infection and disease in the workplace can help to inform public health risk response and management for COVID-19, and subsequent infectious disease outbreaks.MethodsTo estimate the burden of United States workers exposed to infection and disease in the workplace, national employment data (by Standard Occupational Classification) maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was merged with BLS O*NET survey data, which ranks occupations with particular physical, ergonomic, and structural exposures. For this analysis, occupations reporting exposure to infection or disease more than once a month was the focus.ResultsBased on our analyses, approximately 10% (14.4 M) of United States workers are employed in occupations where exposure to disease or infection occurs at least once per week. Approximately 18.4% (26.7 M) of all United States workers are employed in occupations where exposure to disease or infection occurs at least once per month. While the majority of exposed workers are employed in healthcare sectors, other occupational sectors also have high proportions of exposed workers. These include protective service occupations (e.g. police officers, correctional officers, firefighters), office and administrative support occupations (e.g. couriers and messengers, patient service representatives), education occupations (e.g. preschool and daycare teachers), community and social services occupations (community health workers, social workers, counselors), and even construction and extraction occupations (e.g. plumbers, septic tank installers, elevator repair).ConclusionsThe large number of persons employed in a wide variety of occupations with frequent exposure to infection and disease underscore the importance of all workplaces developing risk response plans for COVID-19. This work also serves as an important reminder that the workplace is a key locus for public health interventions, which could protect both workers and the communities they serve.

Four target areas in the prevention of alcohol-related violence are discussed: alcohol-specific, individual, situational and (sub)cultural factors. Important alcohol-specific factors are those determining the prevalence and duration of intoxication events in the population. Traditional prevention of alcohol problems aims to cut down overall alcohol use and/or favors beverages of low alcohol content. More specific prevention programs would locate individuals who are highly violence-prone under alcohol intoxication and specify characteristics of situations and (sub)cultures that are conducive to alcohol-related violence. Presently prevention of bar violence targets the widest range of high-risk factors. Prevention of alcohol-related conflicts and escalation to violence in interactional situations is perhaps the least systematically developed area. The recent emphasis on violence as a public health problem has brought forth new prevention programs. Studying how these general programs affect alcohol-related violence and coordinating the two types of efforts will be a key task for the future.

Abstract The global COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has become a complex problem that overlaps with a growing public health problem, obesity. Obesity alters different components of the innate and adaptive immune responses, creating a chronic and low-grade state of inflammation. Nutritional status is closely related to a better or worse prognosis of viral infections. Excess weight has been recognised as a risk factor for COVID-19 complications. In addition to the direct risk, obesity triggers other diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, increasing the risk of severe COVID-19. The present review explains the diets that induce obesity and the importance of different foods in this process. We also review tissue disruption in obesity, leading to impaired immune responses and the possible mechanisms by which obesity and its co-morbidities increase COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Nutritional strategies that support the immune system in patients with obesity and with COVID-19 are also discussed in light of the available data, considering the severity of the infection. The discussions held may contribute to combating this global emergency and planning specific public health policy.

ABSTRACT Background The elevated consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in Mexico is an important public health concern. However, the association between SSB consumption and hyperuricemia has been scarcely studied and not well documented. Objectives To prospectively evaluate the association between SSB consumption and risk of hyperuricemia in Mexican adults. Methods A longitudinal analysis was conducted using data from the Health Workers Cohort Study. Participants were followed from 2004 to 2018, with measurements every 6 y. The analysis sample consisted of 1300 adults, aged 18 to 85 y. SSB consumption during the previous year was evaluated through a semiquantitative FFQ. Hyperuricemia was defined as a concentration of uric acid ≥7.0 mg/dL in men and ≥5.7 mg/dL in women. We evaluated the association of interest using 2 methodologies: fixed-effects logistic regression and generalized estimating equations (GEEs). Potential confounders were included in both approaches. Results At baseline, median intake of SSBs was 472.1 mL/wk (IQR: 198.8–1416.4 mL/wk), and 233 participants had hyperuricemia. Uric acid was higher in participants with an SSB intake ≥7 servings/wk, compared with those with an intake <1 serving/wk (P < 0.001). Participants who changed from the lowest to the highest category of servings consumption experienced 2.6 increased odds of hyperuricemia (95% CI: 1.27, 5.26). Results from the GEE model indicated the odds of hyperuricemia increased by 44% (OR=1.44; 95% CI: 1.13, 1.84) in the 2–6 servings/wk group, and by 89% (OR=1.89; 95% CI: 1.39, 2.57) in the ≥7 servings/wk categories, compared with the <1 serving/wk category. Diet soft drinks were not associated with hyperuricemia. Conclusions Our results suggest that the consumption of SSBs is associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia in Mexican adults, but diet soft drink consumption is not, which supports the need to strengthen existing recommendations to reduce the intake of SSBs. The Health Workers Cohort Study (HWCS) has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Mexican Social Security Institute (12CEI 09 006 14), and the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico (13CEI 17 007 36).
