Social Quarantine and Its Four Modes: Conceptional Exploration and the Theoretical Construction of the Polices Against COVID-19

Building on the studies of health quarantine from a social perspective, this article explores the complex contexts of social quarantine as a mode of public health, a mode of community action and a behavioural and psychological mode of social distancing. To establish a conceptual investigation of the “social quarantine” issue, this study investigates four approaches to quarantine: public health, social administration, behavioural norms, and psychological effects. The study identifies the features of these modes and discusses their relationships. In addition, this study constructs a preventive framework for quarantine that embraces social and health policies to enrich the understanding of policy measures for social distancing and lockdown measures. On this basis, the study evaluates the strategies of policy development in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concludes that these modes can reconstruct social relations and provide some basis for theoretical analysis about the features of social quarantine, which is vital for policymakers when considering national and global prevention strategies for public health.

PERBEDAAN PEMBERIAN JAMBU BIJI MERAH (PSIDIUM GUAJAVA) DAN BIT (BETA VULGARIS) TERHADAP KADAR HEMOGLOBIN IBU HAMIL

Anemia is a problem of MMR in Indonesia. based on the global prevention of Anemia, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women is 28.3%. The anemia rate in Rangkap Jaya Health Center is 64.3%. Anemia occurs due to physiological changes and is aggravated by malnutrition. Efforts that can be done so that pregnant women do not experience anemia are consumption of Fe tablets, improve diet and add vitamin C-rich food substances such as those found in red guava fruit and beets. This study aims to determine the differences in the administration of red guava fruit juice (Psidium Guajava) and beet juice (Beta Vulgaris) to hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women at Puskesmas Rangkapan Jaya Depok. Methodology this study uses a Quasy Experiment design with a Two Group Pretest Posttest Design. The population in this study are all trimester III pregnant women. The samples of this study arev30 people with the intervention of red guava juice and beet juice. Given for 14 days which are 250 cc. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Results: That there are differences in the provision of red guava juice and beet juice on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. With the average value before and after administration of red guava fruit juice is 8.4 g / dl to 11.5 g / dl and the average value before and after beet juice is 8.5 g / dl to 10.2 g / dl. p-value of 0.001. The conclusions is Red guava juice is more effective against changes in hemoglobin levels.

Application of an Innovative Model for the Risk Management of COVID-19 in a Multinational Manufacturing Company

The COVID-19 incidence in 61 manufacturing plants in Europe (EU), North America (NA) and Latin-America (LATAM) was compared with the incidence observed in the countries where the plants are located in order to evaluate the application of an innovative model for COVID-19 risk management. Firstly, a network of local and global teams was created, including an external university occupational physician team for scientific support. In July 2020, global prevention guidelines for the homogenous management of the pandemic were applied, replacing different site or regional procedures. A tool for COVID-19 monitoring was implemented to investigate the relationship between the incidence rates inside and outside the plants. In the period of May–November 2020, 565 confirmed cases (EU 330, NA 141, LATAM 94) were observed among 20,646 workers with different jobs and tasks, and in the last two months 85% EU and 70% NA cases were recorded. Only in 10% of cases was a possible internal origin of the contagion not excluded. In the EU and NA, unlike LATAM, the COVID-19 incidence rates inside the sites punctually followed the rising trend outside. In conclusion, the model, combining a global approach with the local application of the measures, maintains the sustainability in the manufacturing industry.

Changes in tooth brushing frequency and its associated factors from 2006 to 2014 among French adolescents: Results from three repeated cross sectional HBSC studies

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate in the changes in the percentage of adolescents who brush their teeth twice a day and the association with socio-economic status and health behaviors between 2006, 2010 and 2014 among adolescents from the French cross-sectional studies of the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey. Methods Our sample included 18727 adolescents aged 11, 13 or 15 years old (y/o). The relationship between toothbrushing frequency (TBF) and eating habits, health and socio-economic status markers, family status, school perception, substance use, sedentary lifestyle and physical activity, together with their evolution over the 3 studies, were investigated using multivariate logistic regression. Results The proportion of adolescents brushing twice a day increased from 68.8% in 2006 to 70.8% in 2010 and 78.8% in 2014 (p<0.0001). Notable associated factors (p<0.0001) were: being a girl (adjusted Odds Ratio = 1.5) and, even more, an older girl (aOR 1.5 for 15 y/o vs 11 y/o girls), having breakfast (aOR 1.4) and eating fruits daily (aOR 1.6), excellent perceived health (aOR 1.2), obesity or overweight (aOR 0.6), being bullied at school (aOR 0.8), and perceived family wealth (aOR 1.4 for High vs Low). No impact from any associated factor changed over the 3 studies. Conclusions Among French adolescents, TBF improved from 2006 to 2014. TBF was significantly associated with other health behaviors. These associations stayed similar in 2006, 2010 and 2010. This increase in TBF may be linked with global prevention programs developed during this time period. These programs should be maintained and associated with more specific ones targeting and adapted to disadvantaged populations, in order to reduce inequalities in oral hygiene and oral health.
