Smart Walking Stick with Fall detector

There are many aged people in our surrounding. They can’t walk without the help of other people of the society. One has to ask guidance to reach their destination. They have to face more struggles in their daily life. Today technology is growing to a greater extent, however there is no cost-effective device for aged people. The history of walking stick can be traced far back when the simple wooden stick was used by human for support. James Biggs of Bristol claims to have invented the walking stick in the year 1921. For an aged person it becomes difficult to do his/her day-to-day activities, therefore Smart walking stick can help people in moving and allowing them to perform their work easily, during walking in the street, which makes it very dangerous. GPS is used which tells the user about his current location. Keywords: Fall detector, Stick, GPS, GSM Module, LDR sensor, Torch.

Highly Aged and After Cloud

There have been more and more people who will live longer year by year. This phenomenon will become a global expansion in the number of highly aged people. It is said that the highly aged people will be likely to get a sudden bodily worse condition after the age of 75-80 in Japan. (This phenomenon may be also said for all of human) After the bodily worse conditions, all that they can do at present is to see a doctor, which is not so easy matter for those highly aged people. Because it is very difficult to find out a proper medical doctor with an appropriate atmosphere (; easy access, not much burden, proper medical treatment, after care, etc.) for an individual highly aged person. So, in this chapter, try to find out what can be done by using the present high technologies of “After Cloud; including AI, VR, and AR” in order not to cause more and further troubles for those highly aged people.

Primary gastroduodenal tuberculosis complicated with acute pancreatitis: a rare case report and literature review

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem worldwide. Even in highly prevalent countries, primary gastroduodenal tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In recent years, as the incidence of tuberculosis has increased year by year, the occur of gastroduodenal tuberculosis has also increased. Endoscopy is an important tool for diagnosing gastroduodenal tuberculosis. The performance of gastroduodenal tuberculosis under endoscopy is often non-specific, which may imitate other benign or malignant gastroduodenal diseases. Diagnosis of gastroduodenal tuberculosis relies on a combination of endoscopy and guided biopsy. Case presentation Here, we report a rare and interesting case of gastroduodenal tuberculosis with acute pancreatitis. The case initially mimicked gastroduodenal ulcers in morphology and appeared in a middle-aged person with normal immunity but with prolonged fever and abdominal pain. The disease was diagnosed through endoscopy and guided biopsy, and it responded well to antituberculosis drugs. Conclusions Clinicians must remember that even in the absence of immunodeficiency, as in this case, tuberculosis can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract.

PENYELENGGARAAN PROGRAM BINA KELUARGA LANSIA (BKL) DI WILAYAH PERKOTAAN: POTRET PERMASALAHAN KLASIK

In 2045, population projection shows that one of five Indonesians is elderly. They are considered as a vulnerable group in terms of physical, economic, social-environmental and psychological challenges. Family plays a vital role in supporting an older person to overcome these challenges. Indonesia government has also developed a program to support the elderly population and their family through the initiation of Bina Keluarga Lansia (BKL) program. However, the implementation of this program is facing many obstacles at various levels. This paper aims to analyze the challenges that occur in the implementation of the BKL program, especially in urban areas. This paper based on the results of research conducted in Medan, Surabaya, and Mataram. Data and information gained through interviews, focus group discussion (FGD), observation, and literature review. The study found that the major problem of BKL is the lack of participation of the elderly group and their families due to various factors, particularly related to the format of the program’s activities. Integration of other aged person programs can be a solution to increase the involvement in the BKL program. Moreover, the strong commitment of the local government in improving the welfare of the elderly group is needed to support the program’s successfulness.

Non-clostridial gas gangrene of a diabetic foot with COVID-19 infection

Gas gangrene is a manifestation of soft tissue infection by clostridial group of bacteria. Non-clostridial gas gangrene is uncommon and seen rarely in diabetics. In the era of COVID-19 pandemic where COVID-19 itself induces hyperglycemia non clostridial gas gangrene may arise due to altered immunity. We present a case of non clostridial gas gangrene of lower limb in a middle aged person who was not a known diabetic. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.

Challenges of Rural Women Livelihood and Coping Strategies, in the Case of Wolayta Zone, Ethiopia

Although rural-urban migration is dominated by women nationally in Ethiopia, the feature of out migration from certain parts of the country has been largely men’s affair.

The study employed both qualitative and quantitative approach of data gathering. In the study, descriptive design was employed. Generally, sample size of the study was one hundred twelve (112) such that 20 male households, 80 de facto women households, four chairman of kebeles, four experts from office of agriculture and four aged person from four rural kebeles were included by using multi stage sampling method. The study employed questionnaires, interviews, document reviewing and discussion with focus groups. On the basis and types of data gathered and the instrument used, both quantitative and qualitative techniques of data analysis supported by SPSS were employed. The result of the study indicates that male-out migration has greatly affected the livelihood of the women who are left behind. The labor gap created due to the absence of male head has negatively affected the agricultural production and the natural resource conservation activity in the study area. Thus, to improve the lives of de facto women heads by mitigating the social, economic and cultural barriers which hinder their effort to win a decent livelihood, certain recommendation, gleaned out from this study were suggested to the concerned bodies.

Consumer Behavior towards Regional Eco-Labels in Slovakia

Slovakia, as part of the European Union, participates in all forms of regional development and sustainability. A transparent form of regional development and sustainability is regional labeling, which has a 10-year tradition. Our regions represent excellent potential for the development of domestic products. Acceptance of essential requirements for regional products (domestic raw materials, manual work share, respect for the environment) opens up opportunities for the labor market, promotes tourism, and increases citizens’ purchase ability, none of which are clearly demonstrable in Slovak regions. Residents of individual regions have specific approaches in relation to regional brands depending on the region studied. For the purpose of the survey, four regions of southern Slovakia (with common environmental morphology and different industrial development) were selected. Indicators of age, gender, education, monthly income, and location relative to regional product preferences were studied. The results obtained were processed by cluster analysis (as a way of segmenting consumers). An average conscious purchaser of regional products is a local productive middle-aged person with a secondary or tertiary education, either male or female, and from a more economically advanced region. The results show regional branding as a mobilizing function for connecting inhabitants and the subsequent joint presentation of regional activities.
