    Introduction: Diarrhea have been being a significant public health threat for the community due to its impact on morbidity and even mortality especially among infants and toddlers. Understanding the pattern of diarrhea, how the key factors influence the prevalence of the disease and which areas are at the highest risk could help in controlling diarhhea. Objective: Through spatial autocorrelation analysis of diarrhea prevalence with several risk factors, such as open defecation behavior, population density, access to proper sanitation, availability of drinking water facilities, and the number of health centers in West Java Province in 2023, this study aims to identify which districts/cities in the province are at high risk of diarrhea. Method: This ecological study analyzed 27 districts/cities in West Java Province in 2023 using secondary data from Open Data Jabar. The dependent variable was the number of diarrhea cases, while independent variables included key factors influencing the prevalence of diarrhea. The Moran index was used for autocorrelation tests, The study used Geoda software version 1.22. Result: The study found positive autocorrelation pattern between diarrhea prevalence and population density as well as access to proper sanitation. Negative autocorrelatios found for the other factors i.e. the number of drinking water facilities, the number of villages that stopped open defecation and the number of health centers. The risk analysis reveals four districts categorized as high risk of diarrhea: Depok City, Bekasi City, Bogor City, and Cianjur City. Depok City has the highest score of 12, due to high population density and lack of access to proper sanitation. Bekasi, Bogor City, and Cianjur have the next highest scores, with proper sanitation being the largest contributing factor. Conclusion: Autocorrelation analysis can help understand diarrhea patterns and factors influencing its prevalence, provide guidance for program implementation and prioritization to address the most high risk areas

    Background: Economic evaluation is often held from the societal perspective. Even it is important, as the therapy affects greatly to the patients’ life in society, economic evaluation from the payer perspective, is as important as it may help National Health Insurance (NHI) as the payer avert budget deficit as was observed in Indonesia. Unfortunately economic evaluation from the payer’s perspective is very rare to be done. This article compiles and reviews research articles of economic evaluation of therapy for human epithelial growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC) as an alternative to trastuzumab therapy, which has recently been removed from Indonesia’s National Health Insurance coverage. Methods: The literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations and PICO methodology (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome). Relevant articles were retrieved from online biomedical databases Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SAGE Journals. Quality appraisal was performed using a standardized checklist which consisted of items in the CHEC checklist. Results: A total of six articles pertaining to economic evaluation of therapy for HER2-positive mBC from the NHI perspective (period: 2008–2018) were reviewed. Trastuzumab+chemotherapy showed the longest overall survival (OS, 37.8 months) with Progression-free Survival (PFS) of 12.7 months. Trastuzumab+docetaxel as 1st line therapy were associated with the longest PFS (19 months) with a total cost of US12,732.Withrespecttotherapysequence,1stline,trastuzumab+pertuzumab+docetaxel;2ndline,trastuzumab+emtansine;and3rdline,lapatinib+capecitabinewasassociatedwiththehighestqualityadjustedlifeyear(QALY;1.81)butalsothehighesttotalcostandincrementalcost(US 12,732. With respect to therapy sequence, 1st line, trastuzumab+pertuzumab+docetaxel; 2nd line, trastuzumab+emtansine ; and 3rd line, lapatinib+capecitabine was associated with the highest quality-adjusted life year (QALY; 1.81) but also the highest total cost and incremental cost (US360,880 and US197,250,respectively).Thesequenceof1stline,trastuzumab/docetaxel;2ndline,TDM1;and3rdline,trastuzumab/lapatinibwasassociatedthelowestQALY(1.27)butwasthemostcosteffective(totalcost:197,250, respectively). The sequence of 1st line, trastuzumab/docetaxel; 2nd line, T-DM1; and 3rd line, trastuzumab/lapatinib was associated the lowest QALY (1.27) but was the most cost-effective (total cost: 158,293). Lapatinib+capecitabine as 2nd line therapy and exemestane monotherapy were associated with the lowest total cost (US$3,190). Conclusion: Lapatinib+capecitabine as 2nd line therapy and exemestane monotherapy show potential as alternatives to trastuzumab therapy for HER-2 positive mBC

    No full text
    The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of work from home policies in almost all parts of the world. This policy has increased the onset of musculoskeletal disorders in workers, such as low back pain (LBP). This study aimed to examine the prevalence of LBP among office workers during the COVID-19 pandemic after implementing WFH policies. This study was performed using data from various countries to determine the relationship between LBP and several risk factors, specifically age, sex, physical activity, ergonomic factors, as well as work environment factors such as temperature, humidity, lighting, noise, and work duration. A systematic review was conducted using sub-population studies published from 2020 to 2022. The data was obtained from six electronic databases: ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus, Ebsco Medline, and Cambridge Core. The prevalence of LBP in office workers was associated with age, ergonomics, and environmental factors: air temperature, humidity, and lighting. There was no specific relationship between sex, physical activity, and working duration when working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic

    A politics of métissage: Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts

    No full text
    In her Autobiographical Voices: Race, Gender, Self-Portraiture (1989), Françoise Lionnet identifies the life writing of women of color as the reflection of their heterogeneous differences and theorizes female autobiographical narratives as métissage. Métissage, nearly untranslatable, meaning “braiding,” views autobiography as an engagement of the author with history, myth, and cultures, and defines it as a braid of multiple voices and disparate forms. In The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts (1976), Maxine Hong Kingston combines numerous voices into the (auto)biographical “I” as well as various forms in the narrative to express her identity as comprising manifold, different elements. In her life writing, she neither follows the unique self-representation propagated by male writers nor validates the inner personal tradition of women. Instead, breaking the fixities of thought and expression, she juxtaposes the historical with the mythical, the biographical with the autobiographical to form a language of resistance and solidarity. The present paper argues that by articulating her identity as a braid of differences, constructing self as a braid of multiple voices, and making her narrative a braid of multiple genres and traditions Kingston enacts her life writing as a politics of mé[email protected] Akter Popy - is an Associate Professor in the Department of English, Noakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh.
