Filariasis is one of four diseases that are very important to note, especially in the tropics and subtropics, considering the impact of this disease is the existence of social stigma, decreased productivity and quality of life both psychologically, economically and socially. This study used a literature review approach from several databases, namely Pubmed, Proquest, Science Direct, Google Schoolar and other secondary searches. In total, this review literature consisted of 7 non-experimental journals (observations / surveys) that assess the knowledge, attitudes and prevention practices of filariasis; 6 journal reports on knowledge, 5 journals reported on attitudes and 5 journals discussing prevention practices, where the key to success of the government program (GPELF) was the compliance of the community itself. As for being obedient, people need good knowledge, attitudes and preventive practices about filariasis. The results of this review literature show that there was still a lack of knowledge, attitudes and practices of community prevention, so that a more appropriate education and health information program is needed. Keywords: knowledge; attitude; practice; lymphatic filariasis ABSTRAK Filariasis adalah satu dari empat penyakit yang sangat penting untuk diperhatikan khususnya di daerah tropis dan subtropis, mengingat dampak dari penyakit ini adalah adanya stigma sosial, penurunan produktifitas dan kualitas hidup baik secara psikologi, ekonomi maupun sosial. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan telaah literature dari beberapa database, yaitu Pubmed, Proquest, Science Direct, Google Schoolar dan pencarian sekunder lainnya. Secara total, literature riview ini terdiri dari 7 jurnal non-eksperimental (observasi/ survey) yang menilai pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik pencegahan pada filariasis; 6 jurnal melaporkan tentang pengetahuan, 5 jurnal melaporkan tentang sikap dan 5 jurnal membahas tentang praktek pencegahan, dimana kunci keberhasilan dari program pemerintah (GPELF) adalah kepatuhan masyarakat itu sendiri. Sedangkan untuk menjadi patuh, masyarakat memerlukan pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik pencegahan yang baik tentang filariasis. Hasil dari literatur review ini menunjukkan rendahnya pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik pencegahan masyarakat, sehingga dibutuhkan adanya program pendidikan dan informasi kesehatan yang lebih tepat. Kata kunci: pengetahuan; sikap; praktik; lymphatic filariasis

In the economic development field, physical and social infrastructure have been argued to affect income inequality despite the mixed results. This study examines the impact of physical and social infrastructure (education and health) on income inequality in Indonesia using 34 provincial unbalanced panel data during 2009-2017. Infrastructure summary indices are constructed, and the impacts of infrastructure on income inequality are estimated by the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The findings conclude that physical and social (education) infrastructure contributes to income inequality increases in Indonesia though not robustly significant. Regarding health infrastructure, this study cannot definitely infer its nexus with income inequality since only the model of one-step different-GMM is significant. The result implies that the government needs to consider providing better distribution of infrastructure among income groups to improve income distribution.

This study aims to assess the impact of the Special Autonomy Fund in Papua Province on the Human Development Index measured through the allocation of the Special Autonomy Fund in education and health. The government is trying to accelerate the development of Papua, one of which is through the Special Autonomy Fund. This study uses a quantitative approach with panel data regression, covering: 2014-2017 data in 29 districts/cities in Papua Province, each variable, namely: HDI, GRDP per Capita, Allocation of Special Autonomy Funds in Education, Allocation of Special Autonomy Funds in Health and poverty level. The results of the study concluded that the Special Autonomy Fund did not have a significant effect on increasing the Human Development Index in Papua Province in 2014-2017. Strategic efforts in development in Papua are needed not only through the distribution of the Special Autonomy Fund, but also the enhancement of the capacity of the apparatus, evaluation of the method of channelling and utilizing the Special Autonomy Fund, and other policies with a local wisdom approach.

The city of Bandar Lampung as the capital of Lampung Province causes a high number of movements so that traffic jams cannot be avoided on several roads in the City of Bandar Lampung. Responding to these problems, the city government of Bandar Lampung has carried out many flyovers as an effort to increase road capacity to meet high demand and is projected to continue to increase. The Teuku Umar flyover in Kedaton sub-district is one of the three flyovers built in 2017-2018. Jalan Teuku Umar has quite a variety of activities, namely the center of trade, education and health activities. This research was conducted to determine the impact caused by the construction of flyovers on traffic performance in both internal and external areas using a VCR projection on the affected roads. This research also considers land use in the vicinity of the projection, which is carried out using the Origin and Destination Matrix data, population projections, vehicle ownership projections, and road capacity. The results of the research analysis explain that the time limit for road services on existing roads / underpasses and flyovers is still stable with a VCR <0.85 is 15 years. However, the condition of the flyover section remains saturated, so the government in 2033 makes it important to limit building intensity.

Corona Virus Disease 19 or known as Covid-19 has changed the order of human life in the world. Life that used to feel good has turned into a big disaster. All aspects of life starting from the economic, social, educational and health aspects have turned into a prolonged and abnormal crisis. The abnormality is not to be lamented but must be able to survive and find a solution. This means that everyone must be involved and take part in efforts to minimize the impact caused by Covid-19. One of the government agencies involved for the above purposes is UIN Mataram. The involvement of UIN Mataram here is to direct students to carry out Participatory Work Lectures from Home (KKP-DR). The implementation of the KKP-DR is focused on the education and health aspects. Both aspects are expected that students can be involved to help the government overcome various problems in education and health. In Dasan Tapen Village, Gerung, West Lombok, various efforts were made by students in both aspects. In the field of education, students provide study guidance to school children from elementary to high school levels, while in the health sector, students conduct socialization to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Introduction: Infectious diseases have had a significant role in shaping human history by engraving a subconscious sense of ‘fear of infection’. The three sequential stages of the rational response to fear- fear, denial, and frustration, have been reported as predominant among quarantined individuals during any outbreak. To our knowledge, this was one of the first studies to assess the impact of the first case of COVID-19 among the neighbouring dwellers. Methods: A semi-qualitative study was conducted through telephonic interviews. Detailed descriptions of the experiences of the inhabitants after coming to know about the first incidence of a patient of COVID-19 in the locality were obtained. Participants were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Semi-structured in-depth telephonic interviews were done at a time convenient for participants between April 9 to 11, 2020. Results: Source of information for all the participants was from a neighbour and the participants came to know about the news on 7th of April 2020. All the participants were aware of the correct attitudes and practices of the general public to be followed during the pandemic including hand hygiene, use of face masks, social distancing and adhering to the government lockdown rules. Mixed reactions of panic, fear and confusion were obtained. Most participants were concerned about children and elderly at home, financial constraints due to the blockage of the locality from adjoining areas, everyday hassles that they were about to experience, etc. Despite most participants having minimal fear of contracting the illness themselves, fear of a family member acquiring the same seemed to be significantly higher on hearing the news. ConclusionThe study adds to the existing literature that fear and anxiety during a pandemic are mostly due to the uncertainty related to the disease spread and misinformation. There is a need for phased and well informed lockdown implementation and better knowledge propagation among the general public in order to mitigate unwanted fear and panic among the general public.

In third world countries like India, women play a vital role in building and maintaining the family and the society. Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) among married women may inflict a deep impact on the society. Present study was focused to study the impact of LF on married women of some rural areas of Bankura district in West Bengal, India. Night blood-samples of 1202 married women were examined to detect the presence of microfilariae. They were examined clinically and also asked for any hidden filarial manifestation. Affected subjects were also interrogated to understand the impact of LF on their lives. Microfilaria rate, mean microfilaria density and disease rate among the married women of the area were assessed as 6.16%, 10.89% and 11.98% respectively. 95.83% of the diseased subjects were of opinion that the disease had imposed some or many adverse effects on their lives. The diseased women suffer from disability, loss of efficiency and social stigma. They are often neglected and abstain themselves from intimating their problems to the family members and seeking help for various reasons. Awareness level is poor and presumably the situation is same in the rural areas of other under developed and developing countries.

Abstract Introduction Prodigious restrictions and safety measures have been adopted by the government to control the spread of wildfire coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in India. However, the effective implementation of these measures depends upon the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the people. In this context, a cross-sectional online survey of a sample of Indian residents for assessing their KAP toward COVID-19 has been taken up during the verge of lockdown restrictions. Methods A self-developed online KAP questionnaire consisted of 21 questions related to clinical treatment and prevention aspects of COVID-19 including the safety measures completed by the participants. Assessments on their attitudes and practices toward COVID-19 included the confidence of people to overcome this pandemic and adapting safety measures such as wearing mask while going out in recent days. Results and Discussion A sample of 1,043 participants participated in this online survey. The overall correct rate of the knowledge questionnaire was 90%. More than half of the respondents (53.3%) had confidence that India can win the battle against COVID-19. All the participants believed that Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) systems of medicine that are the rich heritage of India would be helpful in combating the viral illness (95.4%). Nearly all the participants (99%) wore masks when going out in recent days. In multiple logistic regression analyses, the COVID-19 knowledge score was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of negative attitudes and preventive practices toward COVID-19. Conclusion The Indian residents showed good knowledge toward COVID-19 and this in turn helped them to hold optimistic attitudes and have appropriate practices toward COVID-19. More community-based health education program strategies if aimed would help further. The limitation of sample representativeness restricts to generalize the findings to population of rural areas with low socioeconomic status.

Background:: India is facing with pandemic of ‘Coronavirus disease -2019’ (COVID-19). In the absence of proper medicine and vaccine for the treatment of COVID-19, the Government of India has imposed the country lockdown from 25 March 2020 to avoid chain /community transmission of coronavirus in human. Consequently, the educational institutes were also closed during the lockdown period and traditional class room teaching switched to online teaching in India to compensate the educational losses. Aims:: This article aims to measure the impact of online teaching on education as well as the health of the students. Methodology:: The online survey was conducted among the students to measure the impact of online teaching in their education and health. There are 792 valid responses obtained from the survey. Result:: According to survey, the online teaching was equally important in all segment of education during the period of pandemic but about 30 % students are not satisfied with the delivery of content through online teaching. The students below 14 years were getting addicted with mobiles and laptop and consequently they suffers with mental sickness and eyes problem due to screen effect. Conclusion:: Online teaching has played a vital role during the pandemic but its consequences can not be ignored. The online classes can not be accessed by each student due to unavailability of smart phones, laptop and mobiles network to especially poor families and remote areas. This creates the discrimination among the students of poor and rich or urban and rural. The students below 14 years are not aware about screen effect and get addicted with mobile causes mental and eyes problems. Thus, online teaching can not take the position of traditional class room teaching for long time and we will need to back the traditional teaching after pandemic or possible situation and environment.
