3D Surface Reconstruction Using Infrared (IR) Signal

Three-Dimension (3D) surface reconstruction from object using an infrared sensor is becoming one of the widely used in research today. In this project data collected from infrared sensor will be used to reconstruct a 3D surface of an object. The sensor value data need to be converted into distance between infrared sensor to the surface of an object. One-Dimensional (1D) to two-dimensional (2D) conversion is carried out by using the angle between collection of each data and the distance between sensor and an object. The method to be used to reconstruct a 2D image by using conversion between Polar (angle-distance-axis) to Cartesian coordinate (x-yaxis) plane. The 2D images that were obtained will be used to reconstruct threedimensional (3D) surface using a mesh grid algorithm and by acquiring the z-axis of the object

This study adds to the current discussion on pandemic preparedness and the development of robust public health systems. This research paper examines the significant influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak on worldwide public health. It specifically analyzes the efficacy of public health policies and the involvement of mathematical models in managing infectious diseases. Understanding the development of public health responses requires considering the historical context of infectious disease outbreaks such as the Spanish Flu, H1N1, SARS, and MERS. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak, taking into account their distinct challenges and contextual factors. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has presented a multifaceted global health crisis that requires swift and flexible public health measures. Conversely, the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo revealed difficulties that are unique to areas affected by conflict and emphasized the significance of involving the community in efforts to control the disease. The paper explores the global ramifications of these outbreaks, encompassing not only health consequences but also economic, societal, and international relations implications. The interdependence of global health is examined by analyzing the responses to COVID-19 and Ebola, highlighting the crucial requirement for collaborative endeavors, exchange of information, and fair allocation of resources. The research utilizes a case study methodology, specifically examining the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak as illustrative instances. Data collection encompasses the evaluation of implemented public health policies, the utilization of mathematical models for analysis, and the contemplation of ethical ramifications in the study of global health emergencies. The paper concludes by providing policy recommendations derived from the insights gained from these outbreaks. It highlights the importance of flexible and data-driven policymaking, international collaboration, and the incorporation of community-led strategies

Assessing the Impact of Health Policy Reforms on Vulnerable Populations: A Social Science Perspective

Through the view of social science, this study takes a critical look at how changes to health policy affect people who are already at risk. As countries around the world make big changes to their health care systems, it's important to figure out how these changes affect weak and marginalised groups. Our study uses a social science approach to look into how changing health policies affect the lives of disadvantaged groups by exploring the complex web of social, economic, and cultural factors that affect them. The method uses a mix of quantitative and qualitative data analysis, with conversations and focus group talks with people from a range of disadvantaged groups to get more in-depth ideas. Through a broad lens, we want to find out the complex ways that changes in health policy interact with social factors that affect health, affecting the availability, cost, and quality of healthcare for weak groups. Early results show that vulnerable groups bear an unfair amount of the load, showing differences in healthcare outcomes, hurdles to entry, and differences in healthcare service. The study also explores the role of social support networks, community engagement, and cultural competence in mitigating or exacerbating the effects of health policy reforms on vulnerable populations.The implications of this research extend beyond academia, offering practical insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and advocacy groups to formulate inclusive policies that address the unique needs of vulnerable populations. By fostering a deeper understanding of the social dynamics at play, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on health equity and informs evidence-based interventions aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of society's most marginalized members

Health Policy Implementation in Developing Nations: Challenges and Solutions

Putting health plans into action in poor countries is hard for many reasons, which makes it harder to provide good healthcare to the people who live there. Policies are often hard to put into action because of a lack of money, facilities, and skilled healthcare workers. Also, government uncertainty and corruption can make health projects less effective than they were meant to be.  One major obstacle is the insufficient funding allocated to health programs, leading to inadequate facilities and a shortage of essential medical supplies. This financial constraint exacerbates the difficulty of attracting and retaining qualified healthcare professionals, perpetuating a cycle of suboptimal healthcare delivery.Infrastructure deficiencies, including poor road networks and limited access to remote areas, further compound implementation challenges. These obstacles impede the timely and equitable distribution of healthcare services, disproportionately affecting rural and marginalized communities.Political instability and corruption introduce an additional layer of complexity, compromising the integrity of health policy implementation. Unstable political environments often result in inconsistent policy frameworks, hindering long-term planning and sustainable healthcare improvements. Corruption erodes trust in the healthcare system, discouraging public participation and impeding the successful execution of health policies.To address these challenges, a multi-faceted approach is essential. Increased international collaboration and financial assistance can alleviate resource constraints, while targeted capacity-building initiatives can bolster the healthcare workforce. Improved infrastructure development, especially in rural areas, is crucial for ensuring widespread access to healthcare services. Additionally, fostering political stability and implementing anti-corruption measures are vital steps toward creating an enabling environment for successful health policy implementation in developing nations
