MATERNAL PSYCHOSOCIAL STRESS AND LABOR DYSTOCIA

The aim: to study the possible role of psychosocial stressors in the emergence of anomalies of childbirth, as well as to examine their nature using the example of pregnant women who have been forcefully displaced from Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Materials and methods: 115 internally displaced pregnant women from Donetsk and Luhansk regions, were surveyed. All women underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological examination of their psycho-emotional status via interviews, questioning, and psychological testing (Spielberg-Haning’s Situational and Personal Anxiety Scale). The following analysis of the childbirth process’ nature was conducted. Results: The prevalence of high level of situational and personal anxiety by the Spielberg-Haning’s test were determined in the internally displaced women. This indicates a high level of social anxiety (stress) in these pregnant women. Labours in women in this group can be characterized by 3 main features: rapid (precipitated) labour with high levels of obstetric traumatism (tear of perineum) and labour medicalization (EDA). The characteristics described above are due to such labour activity anomalies as hypertensive uterine dysfunction – the cases when the speed and strength of uterine contractions significantly exceed the normative parameters. The reasons for the high level of pain in labour in displaced women could be objective and subjective factors: excessive nociceptor irritation due to cervical-uterine dysfunction and impaired individual perception of pain. Conclusions: Chronic psychosocial stress has an impact on labour activity in displaced women. A mandatory standard for managing such pregnancy is psychological counselling and correction of the identified disorders.

THE ROLE OF DIGITAL INFORMATION MODELS FOR HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL INTERACTION IN INTELLIGENT PRODUCTION

Intelligent production is the future of industrial production. It is the leading way to a new industrial era and it best defines the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Getting the real-time data on quality, resources and costs it provides significant advantages over classical production systems. Intelligent production must be built on sustainable and service-oriented technological and business practices. They are characterized by flexibility, adaptability and self-learning, resilience to failures, and risk management. The high levels of automation, on the other hand, become a mandatory standard for them, which is possible thanks to a flexible network of production-based systems that automatically monitor the production processes. Flexible systems and models that are capable of responding in real time allow internal processes to be radically optimized. Production benefits are not limited to one-off production conditions, and the capabilities include optimization through a global network of adaptive and self-regulating manufacturing components belonging to more than one operator.

Monitoring Injuries Associated with Mandated Children’s Products in Australia: What Can the Data Tell Us?

Mandatory standard regulation is used within Australia to ensure the safety of consumer products, preventing product-related injury. Standard regulation is particularly important for products designed for use by children, who are highly vulnerable to sustaining product-related injuries due to their small size and inability to identify product hazards. This project aims to investigate how effectively information regarding product-related injuries is able to be captured within Australian health and coronial data. Further, it aims to investigate the extent to which child injury occurs for products for which mandatory safety standards exist through the review of available data. This study highlights significant limitations in injury surveillance data for identification and monitoring of child product-related injuries. This in turn limits the evidence base to assess the efficacy of existing regulations. Available data show baby walkers, cots, prams, nightwear, and bunk beds to be associated with a considerable number of child hospital presentations, admissions, and deaths. A significant scope for improvement in current product injury recording practices in the health sector exists.

The legislative framework for salt iodization in Asia and the Pacific and its impact on programme implementation

ObjectiveFortification of food-grade (edible) salt with iodine is recommended as a safe, cost-effective and sustainable strategy for the prevention of iodine-deficiency disorders. The present paper examines the legislative framework for salt iodization in Asian countries.DesignWe reviewed salt iodization legislation in thirty-six countries in Asia and the Pacific. We obtained copies of existing and draft legislation for salt iodization from UNICEF country offices and the WHO’s Global Database of Implementation of Nutrition Actions. We compiled legislation details by country and report on commonalities and gaps using a standardized form. The association between type of legislation and availability of iodized salt in households was assessed.ResultsWe identified twenty-one countries with existing salt iodization legislation, of which eighteen were mandatory. A further nine countries have draft legislation. The majority of countries with draft and existing legislation used a mandatory standard or technical regulation for iodized salt under their Food Act/Law. The remainder have developed a ‘stand-alone’ Law/Act. Available national surveys indicate that the proportion of households consuming adequately iodized salt was lowest in countries with no, draft or voluntary legislation, and highest in those where the legislation was based on mandatory regulations under Food Acts/Laws.ConclusionsLegislation for salt iodization, particularly mandatory legislation under the national food law, facilitates universal salt iodization. However, additional important factors for implementation of salt iodization and maintenance of achievements include the salt industry’s structure and capacity to adequately fortify, and official commitment and capacity to enforce national legislation.

Ambientalizar a universidade – uma ação possível

Este artigo refere-se à ambientalização curricular e tem por objetivo analisar, por meio da revisão de literatura existente, como vem sendo aplicada a ambientalização nas universidades. Trata da contextualização da temática e aborda os principais estudos que vem sendo realizados sobre a ambientalização nas universidades, desde 2002, no Brasil e na América Latina, bem como a inclusão da Educação Ambiental nas Instituições de Ensino Superior. Essa inclusão se dá mediante a necessidade de se encontrar alternativas na busca por novos modelos de desenvolvimento que levem à sustentabilidade nos âmbitos econômico, cultural, social e ambiental. Discute-se a ambientalização nas universidades e nos currículos, e então apresenta-se algumas considerações com o entendimento de que não há um padrão rígido para a efetivação da ambientalização nas universidades, embora não prescinda de normas pré-estabelecidas. Além de considerar a importância e a necessidade da inclusão da Educação Ambiental de modo que, de fato, leve à sustentabilidade econômica, cultural, social e ambiental. This paper is about curricular environmentalization and its goal is to analyze, based on the current literature review, how the environmentalization has been applied at universities. Deals with the theme context and the main studies which have been conducted about environmentalization at universities, since 2002, at Brazil and Latin America, and about the introduction of the environment education at Universities and Colleges. Such introduction happens due to the need of finding alternatives in the search of new development models which lead to sustainability on the economic, cultural, social and environmental aspects. The environmentalization at universities curriculums is analyzed, and then some considerations in the direction that there is no mandatory standard for realizing the environmentalization at universities, although it cannot discard some predefined rules. More over considering the importance e the need of introducing the environment education so that, in fact, it leads to the economic, cultural, social and environment sustainability. Este artículo se refiere a la ambientalización curricular y tiene por el objetivo analizar al través de la revisión de la bibliografía existente, como es que se aplica la ambientalización en universidades. Trata de la contextualización de la temática y aborda los principales estudios que han sido hechos sobre la ambientalización de las universidades, desde el año 2002, en Brasil y en América Latina, así como la inclusión de la educación ambiental en instituciones de educación superior. Esta inclusión si les da por la necesidad de encontrar alternativas en la busca de nuevos modelos de desarrollo que conducen a la sostenibilidad económica, cultural, social y ambiental. Se analizan la ambientalización en universidades y en los planes de estudio, y por tanto presenta algunas consideraciones con la comprensión de que no existe una norma rígida para la ejecución de la ambientalización de las universidades, aunque no prescinden de las normas previamente establecidas.

Worldwide Usage of International Classification of Primary Care

To describe the worldwide use of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) and other classifications in primary care settings and to identify details of ICPC use in each country. Methods: A research survey with a questionnaire requiring self-completion was emailed to members of the WONCA International Classification Committee (WICC) and family physicians (FP) from each country recognized by the United Nations (UN). Results: We obtained the e-mail addresses of representatives from 109 countries and received 61 responses (out of 259 requests sent) to the questionnaire from 52 different countries; 30 were obtained from Europe, 8 from Asia, 7 from America, 6 from Africa, and 1 from Oceania. In 34 countries (17%), a version of ICPC was available in a national language. ICPC was used in primary care setting in 27 countries (14%), but it was a mandatory standard in only 6 (3%). Assessment of the topics accounted for in the clinical records showed that 10 countries used ICPC to classify the patient’s reasons for encounter and diagnosis, while just 5 countries used ICPC to classify the patient’s reasons for encounter, diagnosis, and processes of care. Of the 24 countries responding that the use of ICPC for clinical records was not promoted in primary care, 19 used the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 3 used other classifications, and 2 did not use any classification. Conclusions: Although the response rate to the questionnaire was low, we concluded that ICPC use is not widespread globally. Even for those countries reporting the use of ICPC in primary care, it is usually not a mandatory standard.

STATE-OF-THE-ART EMC REGULATION AND CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTS IN INDONESIA

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) can be considered as the ability of the electromagnetic apparatus to function satisfactorily without interfering the others or being interfered by the others. Nowadays, the conformity of electromagnetic products to corresponding EMC standards becomes of importance in order to cope with the mandatory requirements prescribed by the global market. The EMC conformity becomes the main part of quality assurance and safety of products. This paper presents the state-of-the-art EMC conformity of products in Indonesia from regulation and technical point of view. Survey on the quo-vadis of EMC regulation in the country by communicating with some governmental bodies has been conducted. At the same time, the EMC conformity of some products i.e. television and refrigerator in domestic market by conducting EMC testing on them including emission and immunity test was investigated. It is realized that regulations on EMC are not established yet because the responsible authorities has not assigned yet. Therefore, EMC conformity is not mandatory yet for manufactured or imported products in domestic market. However, mandatory standard of EMC will be implemented in earliest 2015. Moreover, EMC testing showed that the products under testing are mostly not conforming to EMC standards. Those products did not meet, either emission/immunity requirements or both. This fact emphasizes the need of establishing mandatory EMC regulation as well as responsible authorities. Keywords: electromagnetic compatibility, conformity, interference, safety
