Childhood Tb

Childhood tuberculosis is an overlooked aspect of the current tuberculosis epidemics; even the incidence is increasing and may influence children's growth and development. Several researches have studied social determinants as TB risk factors, but only a few researches have studied spatial analysis of childhood tuberculosis and social determinants. This research aimed to study spatial analysis of childhood TB and social determinants in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. This research was cross sectional study which involved five community health centers that have childhood TB cases. Population of this research was all childhood tuberculosis cases in the study site. Sample of this research was 73 cases. Variables of this research were samples’ residence geographical coordinates and social determinants (population density and proportion of poor family) of the related sub districts. Data was collected through CHSs’ and sub districts’ secondary data which then analyzed using overlay spatial analysis. The results showed that childhood TB tend to group in middle to high population density and middle proportion of poor families areas. Therefore, regarding in reducing childhood TB incidence, TB control programs should elaborate social determinants actions in areas with low social determinants.

Background: The number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases in Indonesia from January to February 2016 was 8,487 with 108 deaths. DHF is an infectious disease that continues to increase from 2014 until 2016 in Manado city. DHF cases in Talaud Islands Regency from 2014 to 2016 were 143 cases. Regional spatial analysis would simplify the distribution of DHF cases in high-risk areas. To be aware of the DHF outbreak cycle, it is necessary to model spatial risk factors based on geographic information systems (GIS) to tackle and eradicate DHF cases by region.Methods: This study aimed to analyze the spread of DHF in Talaud regency based on age, sex, population density and area height. The design of this research is qualitative analytic by using an ecological study approach. The research scope was 19 districts in Talaud regency. Secondary data are used which consists of case number, age, sex, population density, and area height taken from the Talaud district health office with 66 DHF cases in 2018-2019 and analyzed using the GIS approach through spatial analysis.Results: Based on the number of DHF cases that is most in the age group of 5-11 years. Male gender is more likely to suffer from DHF than female. Spatial description of the condition of the altitude in the Talaud Islands regency at risk of suffering from DHF is>50 meters above sea level. Spatial description of population density with most DHF cases is not densely populated area with less than 1,620 inhabitants per km.Conclusions: The health office of Talaud islands regency needs to actively promote health by providing information about eradicating mosquitoes.

The Individual

As the result of a previous investigation, involving the analysis of environmental factors controlling population increase in nature, it became apparent to the writer that population density constituted an environmental factor which had been comparatively neglected, doubtless on account of its obscurity, but whose effects were nevertheless of greater significance than generally realised. It seemed desirable, therefore, that this relatively obscure phenomenon should be investigated, and the writer commenced work at the Laboratory of General Physiology, Harvard University, U. S. A. It has long been known that crowding of animals produces definite and peculiar effects on the various vital processes, and even the morphology of the individual. For instance, as far back as 1854, Hogg produced evidence to show that a snail kept in a small cell would only grow to such a size as would enable it to move about freely. Later, Semper (1874) came to the conclusion that there was a relationship between volume and the ultimate size of the individual. As regards the effect of crowding upon reproductive rate the first observation appears to have been made by Balbiani (1860), who reported that Paramecium must be placed in not less than 2-3 c. c. of medium to bring about maximum productivity. Again, Farr (1843) showed that there existed a definite relationship between the density of the human population and the death-rate, and anticipated the trend of modern biology to the extent of elaborating a mathematical formula which conformed to his findings.

 Oesapa Health Center is a health center that has the highest number of dengue cases in Kupang City in 2019 and spread throughout the Puskesmas working area. Regional-based disease management analysis techniques using spatial analysis can be used to facilitate the determination of the DHF problem solving intervention program. Spatial analysis is used to determine the pattern of disease spread and potential areas of dengue transmission based on area. The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of dengue delivery, the spread of dengue incidence based on population density, the House Index and Container Index and the buffer. This type of research is a descriptive survey with a case study design. The sampling technique used total sampling with 98 people. The results of spatial analysis using Quantum GIS show the distribution pattern of dengue incidence with Clustered pattern with NNI value of 0,60 <1, the entire work area of Oesapa Health Center is included in the category of high population density, House Index and Container Index with the highest incidence of DHF in Oesapa and Lasiana Subdistrict and buffer analysis shows the tendency of dengue disease transmission in most cases to occur within a 100 meter radius, so the Oesapa Community Health Center work area is a high risk area for dengue transmission. Mosquito Nest Eradication Activities can be carried out by the community to prevent the spread of dengue disease.

Open dumps were the main option for the local communities in householdwaste management, this practice being banned after July 16, 2009. The paperexamines the correlation between dumpsites volumes, population density, andlocal geographical conditions in the context that in most ruraladministrative-territorial units of the county there were no facilities forwaste collection. The geographical distribution of dumpsites volumesreflects the disparities between different areas of the county and on theother hand, it highlights the spaces exposed to pollution. Also, thecomparative analysis between 2004 (pre-accession) and 2009 (post-accession)reflects a rudimentary waste management system in this period which favoredthe waste dumping. This paper analyses the issues of rural waste managementand its environmental implications at local scale. Such approaches arenecessary for a proper analysis of EU environmental policies implementationat regional and local level

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that has become one of the global concerns. Various factors can increase the incidence of TB and facilitate transmission, one of which is environmental factors. This study aimed to understand the correlation between altitude, population density, and healthy home coverage with the proportion of smear-positive pulmonary TB in Pariaman, Bukittinggi and Dumai in 2010-2016. This study is an ecological study. The data of smear-positive pulmonary TB cases obtained from District Health Office were processed in aggregate at each sub-district in Pariaman, Bukittinggi and Dumai areas. Data were analyzed by correlation test and spatial analysis. The results of this study indicate that there is a strong correlation between altitude with the proportion of smear-positive pulmonary TB in Bukittinggi with direction of the correlation is negative, which mean that the higher the altitude the lower the pulmonary Tb case. It is suggested that area with lower altitude can focus more on promotion and prevention of pulmonary TB through health education or other health promotion measures. Keywords: Spatial analysis, pulmonary TB cases, altitude, population density, healthy home coverage   ABSTRAK Tuberkulosis (TB) adalah penyakit yang menjadi salah satu perhatian global. Berbagai faktor dapat meningkatkan kejadian TB dan mempermudah penularan, salah satunya adalah faktor lingkungan. Penelitian ini merupakan studi ekologis yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi antara ketinggian wilayah, kepadatan penduduk, dan cakupan rumah sehat dengan proporsi TB paru basil tahan asam (BTA) positif di Kota Pariaman, Bukittinggi, dan Dumai tahun 2010-2016. Data dianalisis dengan uji korelasi dan analisis spasial. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa diantara variabel yang diuji, hanya ketinggian wilayah yang berkorelasi kuat dengan proporsi TB paru BTA positif di Kota Bukittinggi.  Semakin tinggi wilayah maka semakin rendah kasus TB paru BTA positif di Kota Bukittinggi. Disarankan daerah dengan dataran yang lebih rendah dapat lebih fokus untuk melakukan upaya preventif dan promotif TB paru melalui kegiatan penyuluhan dan upaya promosi kesehatan lainnya. Kata kunci:Analisis spasial, angka kejadian TB paru, ketinggian wilayah, kepadatan penduduk, cakupan rumah sehat

Background. Studies have documented that built environment factors potentially promote or impede leisure time physical activity (LTPA). This study explored the relationship between multiple built environment factors and individual characteristics on LTPA.Methods. Multiple data sources were utilized including individual level data for health behaviors and health status from the Nevada Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and community level data from different data sources including indicators for recreation facilities, safety, air quality, commute time, urbanization, population density, and land mix level. Mixed model logistic regression and geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis were conducted.Results. Among 6,311 respondents, 24.4% reported no LTPA engagement during the past 30 days. No engagement in LTPA was significantly associated with (1) individual factors: older age, less education, lower income, being obesity, and low life satisfaction and (2) community factors: more commute time, higher crime rate, urban residence, higher population density, but not for density and distance to recreation facilities, air quality, and land mix.Conclusions. Multiple data systems including complex population survey and spatial analysis are valuable tools on health and built environment studies.
