Historical Analysis of the Social Policy of Uzbekistan (On the Example of the Regions of the Lower Reaches of Zarafshan)

The need to form an effective social policy aimed at supporting a decent level of social security is one of the most important democratic values of developing countries. The traditional approach to social development as a consequence of economic development, Uzbekistan inherited from the former Soviet system. In the conditions of transition to market relations, new systems of norms of social interaction between the state and society were developed. There have been extremely ambiguous changes in the factors of social development. The loss of planned mechanisms has led to the introduction of new social mechanisms, including problems of unemployment, medical care, education, the fight against poverty. The article analyzes the policy of Uzbekistan in the field of social development, identifies the specifics of social development, changes in the well-being of the population of the Nizhnezeravshan region in a changing economic and social environment

Adequacy of postoperative pain relief after discharge

Day care surgery has shown a remarkable development over the last two decades, comprising approximately 60-70% of all surgical procedures. Therefore major proportions of surgical patients are recovering at home and have little or no assessment of the adequacy of their pain relief. The aim of our audit was to compare suggested postoperative pain indicators with targets for best practice. This audit was done at the Aga Khan University Hospital day care unit for a period of three months. On the day of surgery patients having the contact numbers were informed about the telephone call 24 hrs after the surgery inquiring about their pain relief. Patients were shown and explained the visual analogue score from 0 to 10. The data was collected by one of the investigators on the day of surgery. We could assess 63.3% of day care patients. All patients were discharged with analgesia. Only three percent reported severe pain after 24 hrs which is according to the proposed standard for best practice that is \u3c 5 %. Sixty percent of patients had mild or no pain which is less than the proposed standard (\u3e85%) and 84.2% were satisfied which is almost borderline (\u3e85%) according to the standard of best practice

Organizational readiness for wellness promotion - a survey of 100 African American church leaders in South Los Angeles.

BackgroundChurches are an important asset and a trusted resource in the African American community. We needed a better understanding of their readiness to engage in health promotion before launching a large-scale health promotion effort in partnership with South Los Angeles churches.MethodsIn 2017, we conducted surveys with leaders of 100 churches. Surveys were conducted face-to-face (32%) or by telephone (68%) with senior pastors (one per church) and lasted on average 48 min. We compared small (less than 50 active members), medium (50-99 active members) and large churches (at least 100 active members), and assessed which church characteristics were associated with the implementation of wellness activities.ResultsMedium and large churches conducted significantly more wellness activities than small churches and were more likely to have wellness champions and health policies. Regardless of church size, insufficient budget was the most commonly cited barrier to implement wellness activities (85%). A substantial proportion of churches was not sure how to implement wellness activities (61%) and lacked volunteers (58%). Forty-five percent of the variation in the number of wellness activities in the last 12 months was explained by church characteristics, such as size of congregation, number of paid staff, leadership engagement, having a wellness ministry and barriers.ConclusionsMany churches in South Los Angeles are actively engaged in health promotion activities, despite a general lack of resources. We recommend a comprehensive assessment of church characteristics in intervention studies to enable the use of strategies (e.g., stratification by size) that reduce imbalances that could mask or magnify study outcomes. Our data provide empirical support for the inner settings construct of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research in the context of health promotion in African American churches

Canon, sebuah Teori Musik sebagai Tema Objek Rancang Sekolah Tinggi Seni Pertunjukan

Me”musik”kan arsitektur, menjadi pemikiran pertama kali sebelum memulai perancangan. Mengutip perkataan Goethe, filosofi terkenal yang berbicara tentang arsitektur sebagai musik yang dibekukan. Sama halnya dengan musik, arsitektur juga dapat memiliki irama. Karena itu, dipilihlah Canon sebagai tema Sekolah Tinggi Seni pertunjukan. Mengingat Canon dalam musik ternyata dapat menciptakan melodi yang atraktif, sehingga sesuai sebagai tema sekolah yang bertajuk pertunjukan. Perancangan ini memakai teori Tangible Metaphore. Proses yang dibutuhkan adalah bagaimana menuangkan karakter dari Canon, agar dapat terlihat pada rancangan nantinya, melalui proses transformasi. Adapun karakter Canon adalah pengulangan melodi; terdapat melodi Leader dan Follower dengan durasi tertentu dan imitasi oleh melodi Follower berupa ritme/ interval yang sama atau transformasi dari ritme/ intervalnya. Sehingga kesan akhir yang didapatkan adalah tercipta melodi yang saling bersahutan membentuk keharmonisan. Berdasarkan karakter tersebut, akhirnya dihasilkan desain rancangan yang meliputi siteplan dengan sistem sirkulasi outer ring road dengan pola pengulangan garis, massa bangunan dengan pola layering dan pengulangan pola bentuk, dan interior dengan pola Canonicnya

SWAMEDIKASI PEMBERIAN ANTISEPTIK DAN PENYULUHAN PENCEGAHAN PENYAKIT RABIES DENGAN MEDIA BOOKLET

ABSTRAKRabies (penyakit anjing gila) merupakan penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus, bersifat akut dan menyerang susunan saraf pusat. Bentuk pencegahan penyakit rabies adalah melakukan swamedikasi pemberian antiseptik sebagai penanganan awal jika digigit hewan penular rabies. Swamedikasi atau pengobatan mandiri adalah kegiatan atau tindakan mengobati diri sendiri dengan obat seperti antiseptik atau tanpa resep secara tepat dan bertanggung jawab (rasional).  Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pemahaman tentang bahaya rabies dan cara penularannya serta meningkatkan pengetahuan dalam melakukan penanganan awal luka gigitan hewan penular rabies melalui swamedikasi pemberian antieptik. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk penyuluhan melalui media booklet. Pada kegiatan ini dilakukan tahapan pre dan post test sebelum dan setelah dilakukan penyuluhan. Secara statistik hasil dari pelaksanaan pre test dan post test diuji analisis dengan menggunakan analisis paired sample t-test dengan hasil perolehan adalah p = 0.006 (r = 0,589). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan pengetahuan antara sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan kegiatan penyuluhan.  Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa pemberian swamedikasi pemberian antiseptik dan penyuluhan pencegahan penyakit rabiet sangat mempengaruhi tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat. Kata kunci: swamedikasi; antiseptik; rabies. ABSTRACTRabies (mad dog disease) is a disease caused by a virus, is acute and attacks the central nervous system. The form of prevention of rabies is to self-medicate the administration of antiseptics as an initial treatment if bitten by an animal that transmits rabies. Self-medication or self-medication is the activity or act of treating yourself with drugs such as antiseptics or without a prescription appropriately and responsibly (rationally). The purpose of this activity is to increase understanding of the dangers of rabies and how it is transmitted and to increase knowledge in early handling of bite wounds of rabies-infected animals through self-medicated administration of antieptics. This activity is carried out in the form of counseling through booklet media. In this activity, the pre and post test stages were carried out before and after counseling. Statistically, the results of the pre-test and post-test implementation were analyzed using paired sample t-test analysis with the results of p = 0.006 (r = 0.589). This shows that there is a knowledge relationship between before and after extension activities are carried out. This indicates that the provision of self-medicated giving of antiseptics and counseling on the prevention of rabbits greatly affects the level of public knowledge. Keywords: self-medication; antiseptic; rabies

Genetic and histopathology studies on mice: Effect of fenugreek oil on the efficiency of ovarian and liver tissues

There is a growing interest in understanding the biological effect of medicinal plants. In the present investigation, the effects of fenugreek oil administration on the liver and ovarian activity genetically (i.e., meiotic progression in collected oocytes as well as changes in DNA and RNA content in the liver and ovarian tissues) and histopathologically (i.e., alterations in the liver and ovarian tissues) were examined in mice. Swiss albino female mice were orally administrated with different doses of fenugreek oil for 10 days. The mode and magnitude of effect were found to be depending on the dose of fenugreek oil and type of tissue. Administration with fenugreek oil at 0.1 and 0.15 ml/mouse increased the total number of cumulus-oocyte complexes as well as improved their quality. Cytogenetically, fenugreek oil was able to stimulate the oocytes collected from treated mice at all doses to progress in meiosis. Levels of nucleic acids content in all groups did not significantly change neither in the DNA nor RNA in ovarian- or liver-tissues. Histopathological examination of the ovaries collected from untreated mice as well as from mice treated with 0.05 ml/mouse of fenugreek oil showed no histopathological alterations. However, ovaries of mice treated with 0.1 or 0.15 ml/mouse of fenugreek oil showed improvement in several tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first study that suggests significant stimulating effects of fenugreek oil on the ovarian activity in mice.Keywords: Fenugreek, mice, ovaries, oocytes, meiosis, DNA, RNA, histopatholog
