The purpose of this study was to investigate Chinese pre-service kindergarten teachers’ beliefs and behaviors inherent to a public health perspective in the time of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The study intended to deepen our understanding of the contextual factors that may influence their future implementation of public health education in early childhood settings. Forty-five participants were recruited from an early childhood teacher education program, with the majority (n = 41) reporting that they lived through the strict restrictions in different regions of China during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. Data were collected via a reflective writing task from an online course. The results indicated an increasing awareness of public health among the participants due to the COVID-19 crisis. Their personal hygiene behaviors included personal protection, cleaning, disinfection, physical distancing, avoidance, and ventilation. The pandemic also changed pre-service teachers’ beliefs about the importance of public health education. Although the participants seemed to have positive attitudes toward public health education, evidence of their limitations of knowledge and skills was further exposed in their ideas for teaching health-related topics. When there is a need to strengthen public health education in the ongoing fight against COVID-19, this paper calls for a refocus in pre-service teacher education to improve public health outcomes for young children.

Abstract This article reads two early twentieth-century American novels, William Maxwell’s They Came Like Swallows (1937) and Katherine Anne Porter’s Pale Horse, Pale Rider (1939), in relation to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918–19 and the history of public health. Beyond serving as a literary record of “America’s forgotten pandemic,” it interprets these novels as experiments in what I term “embodied sociality”: a biocultural model of social life encompassing both the abstract, symbolic dimensions of community belonging and the concrete, biological contours of collective living made visible through the spread of infectious disease. I argue that Swallows and Pale Horse challenge the logic of “modern health citizenship,” which prioritized personal hygiene measures to prevent the spread of influenza through a community, that was promoted in turn-of-the-century public health efforts. Instead, these novels destabilize perceptions of the body as a discrete and potentially impermeable entity, revealing how to belong to a community is to be susceptible to the unseen agents of disease that move between bodies in close proximity, as well as to be, albeit unwittingly, a potential carrier of disease. Attending to embodied sociality as made visible by the flu, these novels necessitate a new way of writing pandemic—one that blends the narrative conventions of plague writing and autopathography. In so doing, I contend, Pale Horse and Swallows invite us to reimagine embodiment and community belonging by holding the local and global, personal and political, individual and collective dimensions of pandemic together. When we recognize pandemic as simultaneously individual and communal, the boundaries that differentiate proximal bodies from one another and from a collective social body blur. And this knowledge, in turn, transforms the way we write pandemic.

Abstract Scabies is a skin disease caused by the infestation and sensitization of Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Scabies attacks in groups because of transmission that quickly occurs through direct or indirect skin contact. This contact occurs especially when living in the same place of residence. In Indonesia, scabies is a skin disease that can often be found in public health centers. The prevalence of scabies in public health centers throughout Indonesia in 2008 reached 5.6-12.9% and is the third-largest skin disease. Primary health services play an important role in scabies in enforcing the right diagnosis and therapy, preventing the disease and spreading the disease to the community because this disease is easily transmitted, especially in dense settlements. Therefore, the appropriate handling of this case is using a family medicine approach. Patient An. H, 4 years of age, complained of itching between the fingers of both hands, especially at night since 3 days ago. The patient had never previously complained of complaints like this. The patient is worried because the complaint spreads to other parts of the body, spreads to people around him, is ridiculed and shunned by his friends. The patient hopes that the itching will disappear, the disease can be cured quickly, does not recur, and does not spread to other people. Patients previously believed that the complaints that arose were viral or bacterial diseases transmitted by other people. Clinically the patient was diagnosed with scabies (ICD 10 B.86). Internal risks include lack of personal hygiene, lack of knowledge, and curative treatment patterns. External threats include similar complaints in the surrounding environment, low-income family hygiene, adequate socioeconomic, and lack of family knowledge—functional degree 1, which is being able to perform activities such as before being sick without difficulty. Furthermore, holistic management is carried out, namely intervention using poster media. In the evaluation, results were obtained in the form of a better understanding of the disease and behavior changes that impacted the success of therapy.

The current use of serum retinol concentrations as a measurement of subclinical vitamin A deficiency is unsatisfactory for many reasons. The best technique available for vitamin A status assessment in humans is the measurement of total body pool size. Pool size is measured by the administration of retinol labelled with stable isotopes of carbon or hydrogen that are safe for human subjects, with subsequent measurement of the dilution of the labelled retinol within the body pool. However, the isotope techniques are time-consuming, technically challenging, and relatively expensive. There is also a need to assess different types of tracers and doses, and to establish clear guidelines for the use and interpretation of this method in different populations. Field-friendly improvements are desirable to encourage the application of this technique in developing countries where the need is greatest for monitoring the risk of vitamin A deficiency, the effectiveness of public health interventions, and the potential of hypervitaminosis due to combined supplement and fortification programs. These techniques should be applied to validate other less technical methods of assessing vitamin A deficiency. Another area of public health relevance for this technique is to understand the bioconversion of β-carotene to vitamin A, and its relation to existing vitamin A status, for future dietary diversification programs.
