The MDGs ended 2015, and it is continued by the SDGs until 2030. The third Goal for the "Good Health and Well Being" indicator reduced MMR. Indonesia becomes the highest country for Maternal Mortality Rate in the ASEAN region. MMR in Indonesia 2012 reached 359,000 /100,000 KH meanwhile MM in East Java in 2015 reached 89.6 / 100,000 KH. In Jombang Regency in 2017 there were 28 maternal deaths. The action plan for reducing MMR is called GEBRAK program which began in 2016. The aim of the study was to evaluate the implementation of GEBRAK program as an effort to reduce MMR and IMR in Banjardowo Jombang Regency. This research employed qualitative study with in-depth interviews and documentation. The main research subjects were 8 teams (2 students, 2 midwives, 3 cadres, and 2 pregnant women). Supporting informants were 2 people (KGM Head Office and Head of Midwifery Diploma Program). Data was collected by in-depth interviews. Processing and analysis of data used content analysis. The results of the study showed that there was a program implementation policy in Health Office of East Java Province; complete facilities were available, human resources were community based team; budgets from the central and regional government was available; there was no similar, standardized and legalized SOPs; there was no reports written to Jombang Health Office, and the babies and mothers were healthy and safe. Jombang District Health Office is expected to arrange GEBRAK SOP with health education institutions, authorizes SOPs, disseminates SOPs, and monitors evaluations.

Abstract Malta has been at the forefront in aging policy and healthy aging development. It was the first country to highlight the need of a United Nations-led international action plan aimed at meeting the needs of an emerging global aging population. Through a number of initiatives, Malta has managed to put aging as a top priority on its national policy agenda. The country boasts of the longest life span spent in good health among all European Union countries with its inhabitants expected to live a significant portion of their life free of disability. Malta’s ranking in the Active Ageing Index experienced consistent improvements in the past decade, registering the sharpest progress in the European Union. In response to an increase in individuals with dementia, Malta was also among the first countries to adopt a national strategic policy for dementia. Notwithstanding such significant progress, Malta still lags behind in developing policy directions addressing gender inequalities and minority groups’ interests among its older population. Similar to other Southern European countries, Malta’s accelerated rate of population aging raises concerns with regard to economic growth, sustainability of effective health care and pension systems, and the well-being of older persons. Gender will also feature prominently in the future planning of long-term care policy as older women are projected to increase threefold in the foreseeable years with the high risk of poverty associated with older single and widowed women, implying that a few would be able to opt for private care.

Waste is still a problem in Indonesia. The increase in population causes the volume of waste to continue to grow, in Karangmangu Village, Banyumas Regency. Data on the increase in the volume of waste in Banyumas Regency reached 21.4%. The volume of inorganic waste is greater than organic waste because Karangmangu Village is a tourism buffer area in Baturraden. This study aimed to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cadres in the management of inorganic waste. The method used was descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were obtained using a purposive technique by conducting interviews with cadres as the main research subjects, midwives, and supporting informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation. The results showed that the cadres had understood the definition, types, management, and negative impacts of inorganic waste. Based on their attitudes, the cadres consider the case of handling inorganic waste to be not optimal. In practice, they have sorted inorganic waste, managed a waste bank, made bricks, and produced handicrafts. Strategies to overcome obstacles in waste management are optimizing the facilities and infrastructure for the procurement of waste banks, as well as training more people to make handicrafts and market handicraft products. This study concludes that the presence of village cadres is able to increase public awareness in waste management.

The elimination of malaria in the world is targeted in 2030. Java and Bali are targeted to get malaria elimination certification in 2023. The area in the Menoreh Hills, which is the border of 3 districts and two provinces, namely Magelang district and Purworejo district in Central Java Province; and Kulonprogo district, in Special Province of Yogyakarta. Magelang district has obtained a certificate of malaria elimination. This study uses a qualitative design with in-depth interviews with 4-6 informants in each district consisting of officers in the District Health Service, Public Health Center, District Planning and Development Agency, and People Welfare Unit in regional government. The activity was carried out from March 2018 to May 2019. The districts in the Menoreh Hills area have collaborated and held cross-regional meetings to eliminate malaria. Even though it had a different problem in human resources, funds, infrastructure, in general,  cross-program has a role in the form of cooperation in activities that carried out together. The cross-sectoral involvement has not been seen much at the meeting, consolidation, and planning. Communities from three locations play a role in environmental cleanliness and migration surveillance.  In the past, Magelang district has been active in collaborating cross-program and sectors as well as community participation compared to Kulonprogo and Purworejo districts, so that Magelang district can obtain a malaria elimination certificate first. However, currently, Kulonprogo and Purworejo districts have been active in collaborating cross-program and sectors, while in Magelang district are now weakening. The community already has awareness in the implementation of malaria migration surveillance. The community already has awareness in the implementation of malaria migration surveillance. Abstrak Eliminasi malaria di dunia ditargetkan pada tahun 2030. Jawa dan Bali ditargetkan mendapat sertifikasi eliminasi malaria pada tahun 2023. Kawasan Bukit Menoreh merupakan perbatasan dari 3 wilayah kabupaten dan 2 provinsi yaitu Magelang, Purworejo Provinsi Jawa Tengah dan Kabupaten Kulonprogo Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Saat ini,  Kabupaten Magelang telah memperoleh sertifikat eliminasi malaria. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai/menentukan status kemitraan/kerjasama, lintas program, lintas sektor dan peran serta masyarakat dalam eliminasi malaria. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan metode wawancara mendalam kepada  4-6 informan pada setiap kabupaten yang terdiri dari petugas di dinas kesehatan kabupaten, puskesmas, Badan Perencanaan dan Pembangunan Daerah (Bappeda), serta pemerintah daerah bagian kesejahteraan rakyat (Kesra). Kegiatan dilakukan pada bulan Maret 2018-Mei 2019. Kabupaten di Kawasan Bukit Menoreh telah melakukan kerjasama dan pertemuan lintas wilayah dalam menanggulangi malaria. Meskipun mempunyai kendala yang berbeda-beda dari segi SDM, dana, sarana pra sarana, secara umum peran lintas program berupa kerjasama dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan yang dilaksanakan bersama-sama. Lintas sektor yang terlibat belum banyak yang terlihat pada pertemuan, konsolidasi, dan perencanaan. Masyarakat dari ketiga lokasi berperan dalam kebersihan lingkungan, surveilans migrasi. Magelang lebih dahulu aktif melakukan kerjasama lintas program dan lintas sektor serta peran serta masyarakat dibandingkan Kulonprogo dan Purworejo sehingga dapat lebih dahulu memperoleh sertifikat eliminasi malaria. Saat ini kegiatan kerjasama lintas program dan sektor di kabupaten Magelang melemah. Sedangkan, Kulonprogo dan Purworejo telah aktif melakukan kerjasama lintas program dan lintas sektor serta peran serta masyarakat. Masyarakat sudah mempunyai kesadaran dalam pelaksanaan surveilans migrasi malaria.

This article investigates how necessity is ‘done’ and ‘negotiated’ in Finnish well-to-do households’ domestic practices and asks whether and how households are engaged in sustainable practices. The main research material consists of 14 in-depth interviews. In this study, necessities are viewed as something that householders perceive they ‘cannot manage without’ in their normal domestic daily life. At collective level, necessity is considered to construct ‘expectation horizons’: what is considered normal for people to have and to desire and how to live their lives normally within a certain socio-economic frame. With a novel theoretical approach, this article views necessity through three kinds of agentic capacities: distributed agency in the material world, socio-cultural surroundings and mental and bodily dispositions. This article contributes to the ongoing discussion on the problematics of rising living standards and household sustainability efforts. The findings show that in carrying out daily life, the leeway provided by higher income and education collides with the internalised ethos of ‘not wasting’ (habitus), lack of seeing real possibilities and often blurred views of responsibilities and power to pursue sustainability. Sustainability is seen as distant to daily life and as an inconvenience that requires familiarisation, time and/or money. It also lacks practical meaning. Instead, domestic necessity contributes to personal and family well-being and effortlessness and straightforwardness in daily life. This article provides three key conclusions. First, any vision or innovation for pursuing sustainability is inadequate if it does not carry meaning in everyday functionality. Second, it is important to critically account for the ‘stickiness’ (capacities for resisting change) of non-negotiable parts of domestic practices with embedded consumption of materials, water and electricity; third, based on the previous two, research and policy should take seriously the difficulty of thinking or seeing outside of the ‘expectation horizons’ that incorporate the co-evolving aspirations and conventions.

In cloud quantum computing, a classical client delegate quantum computing to a remote quantum server. An important property of cloud quantum computing is the verifiability: the client can check the integrity of the server. Whether such a classical verification of quantum computing is possible or not is one of the most important open problems in quantum computing. We tackle this problem from the view point of quantum interactive proof systems. Dr Tomoyuki Morimae is part of the Quantum Information Group at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University, Japan. He leads a team which is concerned with two main research subjects: quantum supremacy and the verification of quantum computing.

AbstractThe conventional treatment of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is especially demanding for children, both physically and psychologically (Iversen et al. Int J Qual Stud Health Well-being,13(1), 1487758, 2018). Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGM) are an important aid for children and their families in dealing with the disease. In their work, however, Şahinol and Başkavak (2020) point out that CGM carry the risk of viewing T1D as a technologically solvable problem instead of considering the disease as a whole. This is mainly creating confidence in technology due to CGM experiences while neglecting significant dietary measures and exercises needed to be integrated into daily routines. During the current pandemic, this problem seems to take on a whole new level. Based on two periods of in-depth interviews and observations conducted with 8 families with T1D children aged 6 to 14 living in Istanbul and Ankara (Turkey) from May to November 2019 and again from May to June 2020, we compare and focus on the experiences prior to and during the pandemic time. We argue that despite the possibility of technological regulation of the disease, the vulnerability of children is increased and, more than ever, depends on socio-bio-technical entanglements.

Aim: The objective of this paper is to examine the level of psychiatric symptoms and associated factors among Thai migrants from the southernmost Thai provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narithiwat who are working in Malaysia. Comparisons will be made with the sending population in the southernmost provinces of Thailand. Methods: Data are drawn from survey and in-depth interviews with Thai migrants who are working in Malaysia. Comparisons are made with a probability sample of working age adults in Thailand. The twenty item Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) was the measure of mental health. Results: The study found that the migrants, on average, have normal levels of psychiatric symptoms. However, although about 24% of migrants reported more eight or more symptoms that may indicate a need for evaluation. There are many stressors in their lives including distance from families, reduced social support, legal matters surrounding immigration, and discrimination/exploitation of migrant groups. Conclusion: The study highlights the need for policy makers and non-governmental organizations to give attention to migrants’ mental health, well-being and sustainable livelihoods.

This article addresses the commemoration of the deceased by examining a peculiar Latvian religious tradition—the cemetery festival. Latvian society is moving down the path to secularization. Participation in religious ritual practices could be expected to decrease in a predominately secular society. Nevertheless, the tradition of the cemetery festival practiced in Latvia shows that the relationship between the religious and the secular is much more complex than simply being in opposition to each other. The analysis is based on data obtained by undertaking fieldwork at cemeteries in Latvia. Participant observation and qualitative in-depth interviews were the main research tools used in the fieldwork. Through an analysis of the fieldwork data, this article explains, first, how honoring of the deceased currently takes place in Latvia; second, the factors which have determined the preservation of the cemetery festival tradition despite the forced secularization of the Soviet period and the general secularization encountered today; third, the relationship between religious and secular activities and their transformation at the cemetery festival.

AbstractA large number of studies have demonstrated the benefits of natural environments on people’s health and well-being. For people who have limited access to nature (e.g., elderly in nursing homes, hospital patients, or jail inmates), virtual representations may provide an alternative to benefit from the illusion of a natural environment. For this purpose and in most previous studies, conventional photos of nature have been used. Immersive virtual reality (VR) environments, however, can induce a higher sense of presence compared to conventional photos. Whether this higher sense of presence leads to increased positive impacts of virtual nature exposure is the main research question of this study. Therefore, we compared exposure to a forest and an urban virtual environment in terms of their respective impact on mood, stress, physiological reactions, and cognition. The environments were presented via a head-mounted display as (1) conventional photo slideshows or (2) 360$$^{\circ }$$ ∘ videos. The results show that the forest environment had a positive effect on cognition and the urban environment disturbed mood regardless of the mode of presentation. In addition, photos of either urban or forest environment were both more effective in reducing physiological arousal compared to immersive 360$$^{\circ }$$ ∘ videos.
