▼ As a core component of the broader health system, Health Extension Program (HEP) focuses on the household and community that calls for coordinated action at all levels (FMOH, 2007). This study focused on the health communication strategies used by health extension program workers to reduce maternal and child mortality rate in the rural areas, with an emphasis on whether these strategies were effective in promoting participation and creating awareness among the rural communities in the Baso liben Woreda. This was chosen purposively as case study area because it is one of the woredas with high child and maternal mortality rate. Six kebeles (three out of 12 ‘Weyina Dega’ kebeles) and three of 11 ‘Qola’ kebeles) were purposively selected for the study. Qualitative methods were used for data collection. Accordingly, from the selected kebeles, in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 women from the FGD, six HEWs and three key informants and six FGD sessions of the health army group (one-to-five), one in each kebele. All the data were transcribed. Based on the participatory communication model as a theoretical framework, the data was analyzed. The analysis indicated health extension program depended on interpersonal communication, team communication, and door to door communication and team communication strategies. Among those methods of communications, interpersonal communication had a better acceptance by the community and the health extension practitioners. In the case of community participation even through the Ministry of Health Bureau implemented a participatory development process as set out in the policy documents participation of the community horizontal communication. However, it was found out that in the study area, the top down communication was more predominantly used. Men were not included in the communication. Finally, it was recommended that gender based health army group should be restructured including both men and women in order to help raise men’s awareness Advisors/Committee Members: Dr Gebremedhin Simon (advisor).

▼ Despite their substantial efforts, small scale farmers in Kenya usually experience a number of challenges which include variable weather conditions, unreliable agricultural extension services, use of archaic technology, problems of pest and diseases, lack of information on the right type of farm inputs to use and the appropriate time of application of the same as well as soil nutrient deterioration. The challenges can be reduced through carrying out effective extension and advisory services. Although the common method of using agricultural extension officers in assisting these farmers is quite effective, it is very expensive and not sustainable. Application of ICT can significantly boost the extension work by reducing cost of collecting data, transmission, processing and dissemination of vital agricultural information to farmers. Unfortunately many ICT applications currently in use suffer from low adoption, difficulty in modifying, weak integration, complexity as well as failure to adapt to a continually changing environment within the crop health field. This has been resolved through the development of agents based crop health advisory system for farmers. Agents are sophisticated computer programs that act autonomously on behalf of their users, across open and distributed environments, to solve a growing number of complex problems. This system is using agents-based technology to provide advisory services to farmers in different areas that affect crop health which are nutrition, weather, crop failure, seeds, diseases and pests. The farmer will access the system through crop health advisory agent which will interact with nutrition agent, weather agent, crop failure agent, diseases/pests agent as well as seeds agent. The agents will exhibit autonomy, social ability, reactivity and pro-activeness in providing advisory services to the farmers. In order to successfully interact, agents will have the ability to cooperate, coordinate, and negotiate with each other. To make the system accessible to rural farmers, mobile phone interface will be used. It will also be possible to access the system through the internet.

▼ HIV and Aids has been identified worldwide as one of the main causes of reduced economic growth in most of the developing countries. This is because a lot of resources are diverted in health care provision to patient living with HIV and AIDS which also reduces personal output. Due to the devastating effect of HIV/AIDS, the government in 1999, declared HIV/AIDS a national disaster and established National AIDS Control Council (NACC) to coordinate a multisectoral fight against the pandemic (World bank, 2005). This enabled the government to avail enough resources and manpower in the fight against the spread of this disease. Kenya has achieved much in the areas of ARV dispensation, educating people on HIV and AIDS prevention and care. However one of the biggest problem affecting HIV and AIDS treatment is funding. Most of the organisations dealing with HIV and AIDS including the government still relying on donor funding to meet medication needs for their patients; due to this Most of the CCC’S are unable to provide patient medication requirement for the required duration of three months. Kenya is a transit country for Eastern and Central Africa, Hence there are a lot of migratory HIV and AIDS patient moving from one country to another especially truck drivers when delivering goods from Mombasa main port to the other parts of Eastern and central Africa. Due to this most of them spend more than three month on transit. This is more than medication provided. Usually ARV are provided for three months some of which it’s not possible due to their cost. This is one of the hindrance to reducing diseases caused by HIV and AIDS such as TB. To reduce this issue there are several CCC cares across the countries but due to lack of CCCs interoperability patients are not able to obtain medication when on transit due to lack of their treatment historical data which is very important for any medication to be provided. With the growth of mobile technology in world, this issue can be eliminated by ensuring that patient information which is normally captured and transmitted to NASSCOP is stored centrally. If a patient visit any CCC no need for providing any hardcopies document, use of guess or information stored as draft messages on their mobile phones. Using our personal health information mobile system, the patient system provides their patient identification number which is sent as a sms and a response is sent back to the clinician with the previous crucial services provided to the patient and the patient is provided with the required services. V The issue of patient visiting their origin CCC of registration in order to get all services is eradication because as long as their information maintained centrally they can obtain information from any CCCs. From our system testing if patient information has been stored correctly and also clinician information maintained in the system, security of patient data is maintained, nobody is able to obtain patient data and also patient cannot request for His/her…

▼ Health systems, like commercial enterprises, face wide-ranging challenges and need to develop an adaptive capacity in order to remain effective. There is increasing recognition in the health sector that the concept of the learning organisation, which has long been popular in the business management field, could be a key strategy to develop this adaptive capacity in health systems. Although examples exist of the application of learning organisation principles to health care facilities, there is little guidance for how units or groups responsible for health policy and strategies can apply them more widely. In order to provide some initial guidance to the Western Cape Department of Health, which has expressed an interest in developing into a learning organisation, this project sought to identify the enablers of, and barriers to learning organisation creation by conducting a systematic review of learning organisation interventions across multiple sectors. As multiple definitions and models of a learning organisation exist in the literature, this systematic review was complemented by an initial review of conceptual literature which synthesised the existing definitions and models of a learning organisation and identified a core set of learning organisation dimensions. Findings indicate that a foundation of good organisational software such as a shared understanding of, and commitment to a learning organisation vision, a culture which is conducive to learning organisation creation, and a secure, supportive and interpersonally non-threatening environment, is essential for learning organisation creation. Building on this foundation it is then important to invest in staff time (i.e. that staff are officially allowed, and incentivised, to spend time on learning during work hours), and the infrastructure and processes necessary to support knowledge transfer, such as physical meeting spaces, online learning databases, mentorship programmes, and feedback mechanisms.

▼ This thesis investigates governance processes at the intersection between primary care and public health. The way in which primary care and public health work together needs to change to respond to changing health need, particularly the rise of non-communicable diseases where the traditional ‘command and control’ methods of governance are no longer suitable. Consequently, the way in which decisions are made about health service design, development and implementation has to change to reflect the need for a joint approach to governance that steers activity between the two areas. This research looks at the governance processes in public health initiatives delivered in the primary care setting. Until now, these processes have been largely implicit. This research aims to make the governance processes explicit, by investigating two overarching questions: • what is the nature of the governance processes that operate at the overlap between primary care and public health? • what impacts on and shapes those governance processes? The study aims to show that governance arrangements impact on the types of services that are delivered and how they are delivered, which ultimately impacts on the health of populations. Using grounded theory as a method of data collection and analysis, this two-phase study looked at governance processes in initiatives shared between primary care and public health. The first phase investigated patterns of activity in New Zealand through interviews with participants in all parts of the health system (from Ministry of Health to community level) who worked in primary care and public health. In the second phase, New Zealand results were discussed with UK and Netherlands experts to make comparisons with other jurisdictions to see whether phase one findings were applicable beyond New Zealand. The study found that while policy and some literature assume a defined and agreed space of ‘the interface’ and ‘governance’, they are both concepts that are strongly contested and that remain uncertain. This research shows that ‘the interface’ is more than a service overlap or a point on a continuum of services. It is at once a domain of service, a set of relationships, and a space where different value sets weigh against each other. In short, it is a ‘contested space’. At times there is more friction than synergy in the process of governing initiatives at the interface as different parts of the health system work together. This energy is underpinned by less visible processes of building infrastructure and learning, challenging and renegotiating values. Similarly, the research found that the concept of governance remains uncertain - who steers initiatives, using what information, and how? The interface between public health and primary care is a place where different professional norms, personal values and approaches to public health are played out. In practical terms, this research highlights the relational in making the interface work. The quality of the exchanges between the areas is the key, as… Advisors/Committee Members: Crampton, Peter (advisor).

▼ Assessing and understanding governance at all levels of the health system is crucial to improve the way in which the system is steered and managed and thus might positively affect (among other things) its performance, and ultimately, health outcomes. This association needs to be further explored by more research in order to confirm the type of relationship between governance and health outcomes, but first we need to define it and assess it in a pragmatic way. Previously, several assessments tools for health governance were proposed; but, due to a range of reasons, they are not being widely employed. Thus, there is a need for a new assessment tool to address some of the limitations of the existing ones (one that is specific to the health sector, practical, and capable of assessing change and progress over time) and help fill some of the gaps in knowledge (such as supplementing conceptual depth to the governance principles covered). Additionally, policymakers require a diagnostic tool to identify deficiencies in governance that need to be addressed. This research involved the development of a valid generic tool, suitable for assessing the principles and practices of governance in health policymaking, as well as providing a structured opportunity to policymakers to critically reflect on good practices. The assessment/guidance instrument covers five fundamental principles of good governance (GG) as yet insufficiently explored within the literature on health governance or systematically operationalised. These are participation, transparency, accountability, use of information, and responsiveness. The tool was developed over five steps (three stages). Stage one focused on the conceptualisation of the five selected principles based on a review of the available literature, with the aim to compile concepts/characteristics of GG under each of these principles and operationalise them into a list of questions, which comprised the initial tool. In stage two, the tool was refined by conducting three rounds of online Delphi consultations with 25 experts from 16 countries. These consultations helped attain consensus on the most important characteristics of the governance principles and explored new attributes that were not identified through the literature search. Moreover, the tool was reviewed by seven high-level policymakers from seven different countries, mainly to consider its practical application in the health context. Stage three pertained to pilot testing the refined tool with regard to a new national policy on mental health in Lebanon in order to identify GG practices as well as possible gaps in its formulation. The results of the assessment were presented with recommendations to the relevant policymakers. In conclusion, the end product of this research is a Health Policymaking Governance Guidance Tool (HP-GGT) that can be readily used by policymakers at the Ministry of Health level and/or by health authorities. It offers guidance concerning a list of "good practices" for reflexivity that could lead to enhancements in…

▼ BACKGROUND Integrated healthcare systems are believed to be enabled by the electronic exchange of clinical information. Canada and other national health systems are making substantial investments in information technology, in order to liberate and share clinical information between providers, improve the quality and safety of care, and reduce costs, yet we currently have no way of measuring these information flows, nor of understanding whether they contribute to the integration of care delivery. METHODS A literature review and consensus development process (nominal group) were used to provide guidance on system integration measures which are enabled by electronic information exchange. In order to conceptualize the components of electronic information exchange, establish a reference vocabulary for terminology, and guide the development of a questionnaire to gather field data, a formal ontology was developed. Validation of a sub-group of the survey data quality was achieved using the ontology and an unrelated database, demonstrating how ontologies may be used to adapt performance measurement methodologies to systems where constraints such as time-compression, lack of resources or access to needed information are prevalent. RESULTS The survey tool gathered cross-sectoral data from a regional health system which populated a summary measure of inter-provider electronic health information exchange (the eHIE), and measured perceptions of system integration from a single health region. The eHIE indicated that 7 -12% of clinical information that could be shared, was being shared electronically in the health region. ANOVA confirmed a significant correlation between the amount of information being exchanged electronically in this system and respondent perceptions of system integration suggesting that the eHIE may be used as a leading indicator for healthcare system integration. CONCLUSIONS It is possible to conceptualize and quantify inter-provider electronic health information exchange. As complex adaptive systems, healthcare systems are dynamic and open to correction; the use of a leading or proximal indicator such as the eHIE may inform effective policy-making and resource allocation in our pursuit of the goal of seamlessly integrated care.

▼ The current application of traditional public health decision-making and management practices during emergencies in the United States can result in adverse outcomes with negative impacts on the public, the environment or both. This dissertation identifies the various decision-making risk factors that contribute to these adverse outcomes and proposes an operational solution for timely and accurate public health decision-making during emergencies. The proposed solution and doctoral research product is the Incremental Dynamic Decision-making (IDD) model. The IDD process is a cyclical and incremental approach to adaptive decision-making during public health incidents. The IDD model is composed of a detailed process description and concept of operations applied to enhance the timeliness and accuracy of public health incident decision-making. IDD represents a potentially valuable tool in the evolving field of public health emergency management. This doctoral research (1) reviews the published literature on decision-making during public health emergencies to identify key decision-making risk factors that can adversely impact decision-making and response outcomes in public health emergencies; (2) reviews the published literature available from a range of different professional disciplines to identify decision-making strategies that have proven successful in dynamic situations with great uncertainty, urgency, and high stakes (i.e. incident conditions); (3) uses a systems engineering approach to develop a process-based and National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliant solution for timely and accurate decision-making during public health emergencies; and (4) assesses the validity of the IDD model by means of a highly structured case study method for analyzing 38 U.S. public health incident cases that occurred between October 2001 and September 2008. The research results yielded (1) quantitative descriptive data on the occurrence of both decision-making risk factors and successful decision-making strategies (i.e. decision-making best practices) observed during the 'incident recognition' stage of a public health emergency and (2) qualitative case study data that to establish ‘proof of concept' for the IDD model.

▼ Introduction: Coronary heart disease and stroke are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States (US) and cost the healthcare system an estimated $315.4 billion annually. Area-level factors which impact health may affect the distribution of cardiovascular disease (CVD), given its multifactorial and chronic nature. Objective: We sought to characterize the geographic distribution of cardiovascular health (CVH) among women over 65 years of age involved in the ongoing Stroke Prevention in Healthcare Delivery EnviRonmEnts (SPHERE) Study. Methods: Data derived from electronic health records (EHRs) were collected from all women over 65 years of age in two Midwest primary care clinics. We characterized CVH according to the American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 campaign, which scores modifiable risk factors for CVH and attributes a higher score to better health. We characterized these factors using the collected patient data, and geocoded patient addresses to the level of the US census tract. We integrated census tract population characteristics into the analysis to determine if they were associated with CVH. We conducted sensitivity analyses for missing data on the overall CVH score, as well as for some of the individual components of the score. We calculated the mean fractional score, the actual CVH score divided by the maximum possible. The association between US census tract characteristics and CVH was measured using univariate linear regression. Results: The mean fractional score was .63 across both clinics. Few patients were in ideal CVH, and the distribution of overall CVH and individual factors differed geographically. Only weekly per capita expenditure on fruits and vegetables was associated with CVH score at the 0.05 significance level. Imputing missing values had little effect on overall patient CVH classification. Discussion: Our patient population has significant room for improvement in modifiable behaviors and factors that contribute to CVH. By empowering patients to understand their health with their primary care physicians, we can encourage behavior changes and shift the population distribution of CVH. In order to do this most effectively, we must deploy interventions that are relevant and actionable for diverse patient and provider populations, which can vary within one medical center. Augmenting EHR-based data with available census tract-level data provides additional opportunities to understand our patient population and consider the lifestyle and socioeconomic factors that impact their health.

▼ Background: Many countries consistently have data that is of poor quality and or data that arrives too late to back important indicators of human lives. Studies show that the standard procedure for data use to keep track and measure the health system in Sub-Saharan Africa has mostly been strictly communication reliant on, with problems due to poor response coils. Objective: To determine factors that contribute to the commitment level among senior managers toward the use of district health information management system 2 (DHIMS2) data for decisionmaking relating to maternal and neonatal health in the Tema Metropolitan Assembly area of the Greater Accra Region. Methods: This study adopted a quantitative research approach and was conducted in public health facilities in the Tema Metropolitan Assembly locale. A structured questionnaire was administered to sixty-six senior managers of health care services to collect data for the study. They responded to questions covering variables such as behavioural factors, organisational factors, and challengesassociated with commitment to using district health information management system 2 (DHIMS2) data for decision making relating to maternal and neonatal health.Socio-demographic characteristics were also analysed.Analysis of research data was done using the descriptive and inferential approach using STATA 14 and Microsoft Excel version 2016.The research hypotheses were tested using linear multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis. Results: The study revealed that the Tema Metropolitan Assembly area of the Greater Accra Region was mostly dominated by senior managers who happened to be males (67%) in the health sector. The average age distribution of senior managers within the region was 47 (38%) years with the highest age range of 51-60 (47%) recorded. The study found a significant value of p<0.021, which was less than a 0.05 level of significance. This implies that, there was no significant relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and senior managers’ commitment to data utilization for decisions on maternal and neonatal health. In addition, the study recorded a Pearson Chi-Square value of 4.001 with a respective significant value of 0.06, which was greater than a significance level of 0.05. Therefore, there was a sufficient evidence to support the claim that senior managers’ commitment was influenced by the behavioural factors on DHIMS2 data usage. The study found a Pearson Chi-Square value of 3.273 with a respective significant value of 0.070. Therefore, there was sufficient evidence to support the claim that senior managers’ commitment was influenced by the organisational factors in data usage. The study showed a significant value of .014 (p = .014), which was below 0.01. Consequently, there was a relationship in the mean of thchallenges associated with senior managers’ commitment to usage of DHIMS2 data for decision making on maternal and neonatal health. Conclusions/Recommendation: Based on the above findings the study concludes and…

▼ South Africa has not responded well to recommendations in national evaluation reports to address human resource challenges associated with the implementation of nutrition programmes and improved service delivery. Twenty-four years have passed since the dawning of democracy and the nutrition situation within the population has actually deteriorated, with persistently high levels of stunting in young children and the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity in all age groups. These conditions not only rob people of their potential, but they carry a high cost for the state and society as a whole. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive and empirically sound nutrition workforce development planning framework for the public health sector so that it is better equipped to address the nutrition-related burden of disease in South Africa. The study explored the provision of nutrition services in South Africa, focusing on the nutrition-specific work components of health personnel ‒ doctors, nurses, dietitians, nutritionists, health promoters and community health workers working at the primary health care level in the public health sector. Evidence-based workforce information was collected through a mixed methodology comprising: literature reviews, document reviews, analysis of scopes of practice, job descriptions, competencies, workforce surveys, key informant interviews and consensus assessments through the application of the Delphi technique. Permission was obtained to adapt and use questionnaires from an Australian workforce study. Ethical approval, permission to conduct the study and informed consent were obtained prior to the commencement of the interviews. Data was then analysed using descriptive statistics, content and thematic analysis and triangulation of all findings, followed by consensus assessments to describe the nutrition workforce and delineate the roles and functions thereof. The comprehensive planning framework that was developed was applied to the Western Cape province. Advisors/Committee Members: Swart, Elizabeth (advisor), Hughes, Roger (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this research aims to (1) construct the predict model by system dynamics on the outpatient visits; (2) investigate the influence on hospital performance after drug price policies made; and (3) offer feasible schemes by scenario simulation. National Health Insurance (NHI) system intends to safeguard the right to health care for all residents in Taiwan. NHI system has gained high public satisfaction so far. However, medical expenditures and pharmaceutical costs have propelled the rapid growth in recent years because of the stipulation of the insurance premium rate, the general push for improved health care quality, and inclusion of new drugs as well as new technologies. To prevent the deficit of the NHI systemâs finances from widening further, the Bureau of NHI is urged to reform the reimbursement policies, including Adjustments of Drug List and Payment Scheme, Global Budget Payment System, and Adjust Reasonably Reimbursement Criteria as well. Based on the statistics, a quarter of the total revenues were for the drug cost. Legally mandated drug price adjustments have a great influence on the financial burden of the medical institutions. On the basis of the simulation analysis, the major findings of this research are summarized as follows: (1) The adjustments of the prescription depend on the amount of the profit gained from the drugs; (2) The increase the refillable prescriptions for patients with chronic illnesses enhances the profit of the drugs; (3) With the implementation of the system dynamics, the counterintuitive phenomenon can be identified and used to guide the future policies of the medical institutions. This research also suggests that the total comprehension of finding the leader loop in the dynamic complexity system within the management of the medical institutions is beneficial in providing the relative adjustment policies for a hospital.

▼ The Botswana Ministry of Health was prompted to review its organizational structure as part of public sector strategies to improve performance, and as a response to an internal review in 2000 which concluded that performance was unsatisfactory. A team of consultants was engaged to review the existing structure. A new structure was adopted in 2005. This PhD study was designed to assess performance of the Ministry following adoption of this structure. The overall goal of this study was to assess the impact of the 2005 organizational structure on the Ministry’s performance. Taking a case study approach, and using a mixed methods design, this study used the WHO Health Systems Performance Assessment Framework as a conceptual model to assess the Ministry’s performance in four key health system functions:- stewardship, health financing, resource generation and service provision. Performance indicators were identified for each function and used to assess the Ministry’s performance. Data were collected through document review, interviews with key informants comprising of policy makers, senior Ministry of Health officials, staff in charge of key processes at the Ministry (N=40), key stakeholders (N=14), surveys of health workers (N=389) and health managers (N=42), and focus group interviews (3) of health workers in two referral hospitals. The organizational structure adopted in 2005 fitted well with policy objectives. However, this structure was not adequately implemented, and hence had limited impact on the Ministry’s performance. Failure to fully implement this structure was attributed to ineffective management of the restructuring process and limited human resource capacity to undertake new responsibilities. The Ministry had limited capacity for policy development, strategic planning and oversight. Rapid turnover of senior management exacerbated the leadership challenges. The health system in Botswana is adequately funded by the government and has the potential to ensure universal access to health care services. However, the Ministry of Health has chronic challenges in financial management including poor revenue collection, inadequate budget management, under-expenditure, and limited use of evidence to support resource allocations decisions. The government made considerable investment in health infrastructure increasing physical access to services for the majority of the population. Yet, inadequate planning and management of human resources and medical equipment, and ineffective supply management systems, contributed to imbalance in key health system resources undermining delivery of services. Provision of health services in public hospitals was limited by over-centralization of decision-making and control of resources at the Ministry headquarters, inadequate resources, and poorly motivated workforce. Efforts to strengthen the health system in Botswana need to focus on building leadership capacity to support all the functions of the system. Reconsideration of the governance structures of public hospitals to improve… Advisors/Committee Members: Hill, Philip Campbell (advisor).

In the context of modern global changes, the issue of social justice, social welfare and newlinethereby the assurance of well-being of humans are the primary concerns of the world in newlinegeneral; and in Indian society in particular. These issues demand for review of principles newlineof social justice, human rights, and strategies for social change and equality for social newlinewelfare. Endeavours to achieve justice and equality in the society are the prime focuses newlineand education plays crucial role to achieve them. Therefore, education is the essential newlineelement for the assurance of development socially and economically. It is the instrument newlinefor achieving equality and social justice in the social, political, economic and cultural newlinespheres. Indian society is known for diversity and complexity based on social inequality newlineand hierarchy drawing from religion and caste system. Majority of the Indian sections of newlinecommunities have been traditionally, historically deprived of socio-economic newlineopportunities and educational rights. Prominent among these sections of the society are newlinethe Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes newline(OBCs). However; reaching up to the higher pedestal of education is full of social, newlinecultural and personal difficulties for the students of SCs, STs and OBCs particularly newlinecoming from rural and poor socio-economic backgrounds. Therefore it is pertinent to newlineanalyse the perceived and experienced discrimination because of differential caste and newlinesocio-economic backgrounds among the students of higher education and its newlineconsequential effects on mental health and well being of students. Hence; in the newlinecontemporary Indian scenario, the issue of caste based discrimination and its affinity with newlinemental health problems is significant to analyse to capture the dynamics and functioning newlineof social structures fabricated with the psychological feelings and well being of person. newline

▼ ABSTRACT Introduction: - In Ethiopia comprehensive Pre-hospital emergency medical system is practically non-existent. A comprehensive emergency medical system includes not only a health facility based care for emergency cases but also a functional pre-hospital care that gives primary care for injuries at the accident scene and while transferring victims to health facilities. Traffic police personnel are the first respondent to road traffic accidents. The objective: - Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice to ward first aid related to road traffic accidents among traffic police in LIDETA, KIRKOS and ARADA sub city of Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was carry out among traffic police working in LIDETA, KIRKOS and ARADA sub city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from February 3-18, 2014, using a convenient sampling technique. 150 police traffic was participated and responded for open- ended and close- ended questions and 120 were analyzed. Result: Participants were 120 (92.3%) male and 10(7.7%) female with an average age of 27 ±7.42 (SD) with a range from 23 to 50 years. One hundred and eleven (85.4%) were trained previously on first aid from different institution. Forty two (32.1%) were identified noisy breathing which is a sign of air way obstruction. Most participants‘ first action during first aid was only tr ansfer to near hospital, furthermore 128(98.5%) believed that it is necessary to give first aid immediately for RTA victims, but some them had not willingness to give first because of fear infection, shortage of materials and didn‘t had full skill. Conclusion and recommendation: In This study identified baseline knowledge, practice and perspective of first aid related to road traffic accident of traffic polices who are working in ARADA, LIDETA and KIRKOS sub city of Addis Ababa Ethiopia, and showed that there was gap on knowledge and practice of first aid for RTA victims, on the other hand respondents gives a positive believe related to application of first aid at scene. Would been providing continuous training and demonstration of moderate level of knowledge, attitude and practices towards first aid related to firs aid further collaboration with governmental and non-governmental institutions Advisors/Committee Members: AKLILU AZAZH (MD, INTERNIST, EMCC PHYSICIAN, associate PROFESSOR AAU) (advisor).

▼ INTRODUCTION: Diet induced obesity (DIO) is a major driving force responsible for low-grade inflammation mediated immune system decline. Impaired immune defenses lead to a number of chronic diseases and ultimately to an increased mortality. DISCUSSION: Over half a billion people worldwide are considered overweight or obese. It has been estimated that $190 billion dollars was spent in the US on obesity-related healthcare costs just in 2005. Lower productivity, lost wages, higher insurance costs, and an increased strain on the healthcare system as a whole, are the hallmarks of the obesity epidemic. Considerable body of epidemiologic evidence implicates DIO as the major cause of numerous pathologies. The obese population doesn't just suffer increased mortality from chronic conditions such as, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary diseases, Type 2 diabetes, various cancers, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), renal failure, osteoarthritis and many other slow-onset diseases. Obese individuals also have increased mortality for more acute conditions such as N1H1 influenza virus, allergic diseases, and post-surgical complications while also lowering the efficacy for vaccinations and Helicobacter pylori eradication therapies. Today scientists recognize adipose tissue as the largest endocrine organ in the human body, releasing a myriad of paracrine and endocrine molecular factors. During DIO these adipocytokines induce a proinflammatory switch in the adipose tissue machinery, initiating chronic low-grade inflammation. Sensing an ongoing attack the immune system responds trying to maintain homeostasis. DIO however, initiates a positive feedback loop, which perpetuates inflammation and further decimates immune system's capacity to resist threats and to restore order. CONCLUSION: While the basic obesity-inflammation-disease road map has been outlined, many questions remain. Multiple areas of immunometabolism and meta inflammation require deeper understanding, but two key recommendations for future studies stand out. First, since it is easier to prevent obesity than to reverse it, attention should be focused on elucidating the endocrine role of foodstuff. Second, to find cures for chronic conditions of the ever growing obese population, scientists must elucidate the mechanism of obesity-induced inflammation's function in diminishing immune system's capacity.

▼ Axonal pathology is a major contributor to impaired motor, sensory and cognitive dysfunction associated with multiple sclerosis particularly with the progressive forms of the disease. However, the early pathologic events responsible for axonal deterioration remain unclear. It is well recognized that maintaining proper axonal function is intimately related to proper establishment and maintenance of axonal domains such as the node of Ranvier and the axon initial segment (AIS). Numerous laboratories, including ours, have investigated the mechanisms that regulate node of Ranvier formation and maintenance. These studies have shown that node of Ranvier formation and maintenance require myelin contact. Interestingly, many of the same proteins that cluster at the node of Ranvier also cluster in the AIS; however, the mechanisms responsible for AIS clustering appear to be unique to the AIS as myelin contact is not required and the mechanisms appear to be intrinsic to the neuron. Determining how the AIS is developmentally generated is vital to a complete understanding of the AIS function. However, more in line with understanding the pathobiology of MS, our laboratory is interested in identifying the mechanisms responsible for the maintenance and restoration of AIS integrity and function. To achieve this goal, we have exploited the cuprizone toxicity model. This model results in a consistent course of demyelination followed by remyelination of layer V of the cerebral cortex. Using a combination of immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy, we have analyzed AIS integrity as evidenced by the clustering of ankyrinG, a prominent initial segment protein. Our findings indicate that the number of AIS is not decreased following myelin loss. In addition, AIS length and surface area are not changed following demyelination. These findings are important as they suggest that myelin is not required for the maintenance of initial segment organization. Advisors/Committee Members: Jeffrey Dupree.
