“…The relationship between STH and a lack of sanitation and hygiene has been previously reported in Ethiopia with both positive [20,24,48,[52][53][54] and negative associations [55]. Moreover, the relationship between a lack of electricity and the presence of intestinal parasite infection has also been found in other studies [21,56].…”

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) are highly prevalent Neglected Tropical Disease in Ethiopia, an estimated 26 million are infected. Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies assist data mapping and analysis, and the prediction of the spatial distribution of infection in relation to environmental variables. The influence of socioeconomic, environmental and soil characteristics on hookworm infection at the individual and household level is explored in order to identify spatial patterns of infection in rural villages from Zenzelema (Amhara region). Inhabitants greater than 5 years old were recruited in order to assess the presence of STH. Socioeconomic and hookworm infection variables at the household level and environmental variables and soil characteristics using RS were obtained. The dominant STH found was hookworm. Individuals which practiced open defecation and those without electricity had a significant higher number of hookworm eggs in their stool. Additionally, adults showed statistically higher hookworm egg counts than children. Nonetheless, the probability of hookworm infection was not determined by socioeconomic conditions but by environmental characteristics surrounding the households, including a combination of vigorous vegetation and bare soil, high temperatures, and compacted soils (high bulk density) with more acidic pH, given a pH of 6.0 is optimal for hatching of hookworm eggs. The identification of high-risk environmental areas provides a useful tool for planning, targeting and monitoring of control measures, including not only children but also adults when hookworm is concerned.

“…The continuous development of the current big data Internet has made the dissemination of various views and understanding more convenient and rapid, and everyone can become a disseminator, publisher, or even a maker of information [1][2][3]. Therefore, in order to adapt to the modernization of thought, the state constantly carries out educational reform, and in the context of educational reform, Civic Education is the most important of them, in order to strengthen the ideological and political education of people, and to improve their Civic level to a certain extent, and guide them to establish a correct world view, outlook on life, values and political concepts [4][5][6][7]. People began a profound discussion and research on the combination of big data Internet and Civic Education, and achieved corresponding results, such as online learning and cloud computing.…”

In the course of today’s socio-political and economic development, along with the advent of the era of big data and the internet, various ideas have emerged and more ideological content and political ideas have continued to emerge. In order to cope with this situation, education reform is constantly innovating, among which the ideological education is particularly important. Various ideological education applications have appeared one after another in the Internet, which allows ideological education to see a new direction of development. The article develops a rigorous computational analysis of the combination of Civic Education and Big Data Internet, applied to the development of a new system. Using decision tree classification algorithm, ID3 algorithm, Bayesian classification algorithm, cohesive hierarchical clustering method for a large number of experimental data processing, the system was completed to build a framework for the combination of big data and Civic Education application. Through data analysis and comparison, it is found that the application of these big data algorithms in the field of Civic Education not only provides more detailed information on Civic Education reform, but also provides objective and comprehensive feedback on the dissemination and learning of Civic Education. In the relevant feedback information, the use of Internet applications for Civic Education reached 100%, Excel was 84%, and all the learning levels of the fixed-point test could reach over 60 points. The above data shows that people have also been able to improve their learning level in Civic Education to a great extent with the Internet technology.

PURPOSE To understand trends, pathways, and experiences and to establish a framework for radiation oncology (RO) programs interested in developing global health (GH) initiatives. METHODS An in-depth interview was conducted of all US RO programs with established GH initiatives. Programs were identified by reviewing results of the 2018 Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology Global Health Resident Survey and individualized outreach to screen for additional programs meeting the following criteria: (1) active resident involvement in RO-specific GH opportunities, (2) active faculty involvement in these initiatives, and (3) department chair or program director awareness and support for ongoing opportunities. Among 88 residency programs, 11 were identified. Standardized questions explored the type of initiative, planning, staff and resident involvement, challenges, components to success, and history of programs through December 2018. RESULTS Between 2010 and 2018, 11 programs started initiatives. Total resident participants ranged from one to 13 (median = 3) in each program's history. Initiatives spanned education (n = 9 [82%]), clinical mentorship (73%), innovative technology (55%), bilateral hosting programs (45%), clinical development and equipment (45%), promotion of local research (36%), clinical care (36%), industry partnerships (27%), and remote tumor board (18%). Faculty involvement included radiation oncologists (91%), medical physicists (55%), and non-RO department faculty (27%). Six programs (55%) had faculty with prior GH experience. Four (36%) programs reported medical student involvement in projects. Barriers included international communication (36%), time for faculty (18%), funding (9%), and legal (9%) concerns. Commonest components of success included fostering relationships with international sites and identifying needs before solutions. CONCLUSION RO GH initiatives were reported as positive, educational, and feasible across 11 US residency programs. Growth is expected, representing opportunities for innovation and service among US programs.
