The benefits and challenges of paper handheld maternal record in Southeast Asia: a systematic review

Home-based maternal records were first designed for better monitoring during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. There are various studies that reported on the benefits of paper handheld record for mothers in across regions. However, majority of the studies on paper handheld record or home-based record were mainly addressing the benefit and very scare on the challenges faced by the users. This study aims to evaluate the benefits and challenges of the maternal paper handheld to users particularly to mothers and healthcare providers in Southeast Asia (SEA) region. Articles were searched from Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed using relevant keywords based on the review topic. Based on PRISMA guidelines, the search results were then screened based on inclusion criteria: published between 2012 and 2021in English language, available in full text, open access, and conducted in Southeast Asia. Six articles were included in the final analysis, which were also appraised for their quality. There are six articles included in this review. Majority of the studies highlighted the benefits of paper handheld records to mothers. Upon further analysis, there are three major themes emerged from the outcome namely mother’s knowledge, maternal health service utilization and breastfeeding practice. Only one study reported on the challenges faced by mothers and care provider while utilising the paper handheld record. The paper handheld maternal record implementation in SEA exhibited great positive impact to the mothers in terms of knowledge, maternal health service utilization and breastfeeding practice. Nonetheless, it is quite difficult to find studies that addressed the challenges faced by the users in SEA region. It would be best to understand the challenges faced regionally or even locally to make improvement of the maternal health service as it needs to be comprehensive and suited with the local context

AOO-37011 AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference and Exhibit DISTURBANCE REJECTION USING DECENTRALIZED SELF-TUNING ARMARKOV ADAPTIVE CONTROL WITH SIMULTANEOUS IDENTIFICATION

bstract In this paper we experimentally investigate the issues of decentralized implementation of the extended ARMARKOV adaptive control (EAAC) algorithm with simultaneous identification for disturbance rejection. The test-bed is the Multi-Hex Prototype Experiment (MHPE) which is constructed to emulate the dynamics of a large space-based optical telescope, and the application is active vibration control. The ARMARKOV adaptive algorithm requires a model of only the secondary path (control input to performance variable) transfer function which is identified on-line using the time-domain ARMARKOV/Toeplitz identification technique in the EAAC. Two decentralized EAAC controllers, each connected to three sensors and two actuators, are implemented and experimental results which show broadband disturbance rejection are presented. Introduction Both robust control and adaptive controllers seek to achieve system performance without excessive reliance on plant models. While robust controllers desensitize the control system to plant uncertainty, the gains of robust controllers are fixed. On the other hand, adaptive controllers adjust gains during operation in order to permit greater uncertainty levels than can be tolerated by robust control and to improve system performance during operation, which is not possible using robust controllers. Another distinction between robust and adaptive controllers is the fact that robust controllers are generally linear, while adaptive controllers are inherently nonlinear
