Swasthya Portal: A Boon for Tribal's Health in India | Chapter 02 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

     

Health is among the most significant markers of the quality of a person's life. Due to their vulnerability and deprivation, tribal inhabitants face a multitude of difficulties; one of the most important aspects contributing to their vulnerability and deprivation is their health. Tribal health has been the focus of discussion for a very long time. In an attempt to address the health concerns these tribes suffer, the Indian government developed the “SWASTHYA” gateway, which provides a number of paybacks. In this paper, authors have focused on the “SWASTHYA” portal’s data analysis and its benefit for the tribal communities in different states.  As a result, there is a pressing need to investigate and assess the impact of NGOs’ initiatives on tribal health. In this sense, the author's personnel experiences working on tribal health issues during the last few years are being reflected.

Impact of Energy Supplements on Sports Performance: Contemporary Evidence and Future Perspectives | Chapter 04 | Food Science and Agriculture: Research Highlights Vol. 5

 

In sports nutrition, energy supplements refer to dietary products such as gels, drinks, bars, or powders developed to deliver rapid or sustained energy, maintain electrolyte balance, and promote recovery, thereby enhancing athletic output and overall performance efficiency. Ongoing research in sports nutrition continues to expand the understanding of exercise physiology and provides the evidence base for current best practice recommendations. This review discusses the current role of energy supplements in sports performance and highlights future directions for their effective and safe use. A literature search was carried out using secondary sources, with keywords like energy supplements, electrolytes, athletic performance, and others. Energy supplements fall under the ergogenic and macronutrient-based category of sports nutrition. They primarily supply carbohydrates, proteins, and fats as energy sources, along with micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and bioactive compounds such as caffeine, taurine, carnitine, and ginseng that enhance energy metabolism, endurance, and recovery. They provide rapid energy, maintain hydration, delay fatigue, and support metabolic, neuromuscular, and cognitive functions. Findings indicate that carbohydrate gels enhance endurance by providing energy, preserving glycogen, and stimulating the central nervous system, while energy bars offer a balanced source of natural sugars and proteins to support athletic performance. Effective use depends on timing, individual tolerance, sport type, intensity, and environmental conditions, helping to sustain performance, reduce fatigue, and accelerate recovery. When used appropriately, alongside a balanced diet and individualised nutrition strategies, they can improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and optimise training adaptations. Despite their benefits, challenges such as inconsistent nutrient content, variable individual responses, and safety concerns highlight the need for quality control and evidence-based use. Supplement combinations such as carbohydrate–protein or carbohydrate–electrolyte mixtures have shown notable benefits in improving power and recovery, particularly in team sports. However, significant research gaps remain, especially regarding female athletes and sport-specific responses. Additionally, some studies report safety concerns and adverse effects, emphasising the need for careful evaluation and evidence-based use of supplements. Future strategies should focus on personalised supplementation, innovative delivery systems, micronutrient monitoring, and athlete education to optimise performance, reduce fatigue, and ensure long-term health.

Public Action at the Intersection of Two Public Policies in France and Canada: A Comparative Analysis | Chapter 8 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

 

The term “migrant” refers to foreign immigration policies in the field of the fight against AIDS; it is not suitable for public health issues around immigration concerning immigrants (those arriving) than those already installed on the territory as well. This article is from the statement of a contrast between a strong associative mobilisation around the health of migrants in France during the 2000s and the relative weakness of the dynamics of community organisations around this problem in Canada during the same period. This article investigates how France and Canada, despite their different political systems, address the challenges faced by migrants living with HIV/AIDS from endemic countries. The objective is to analyse how immigration policy and public health policy intersect in shaping responses to this issue. The study relies on a comparative policy analysis supported by documentary review and interviews with key stakeholders in both countries. The findings highlight three main differences: (1) approaches to AIDS prevention and care, with France emphasising coercion and control and Canada privileging cooperation and inclusion; (2) immigration policy, which is more selective in France and more generalized in Canada; and (3) treatment of HIV-positive migrants, where France applies non-systematic screening while Canada has adopted systematic screening. Despite these contrasts, two common trends emerge: first, restrictive immigration measures reduce the rights of migrants in the field of public health; and second, policy responses are increasingly framed through a humanitarian lens that treats access to care as an exceptional measure for foreigners with serious illnesses.

 

This convergence reveals the tension between immigration control and health protection, and shows how both countries combine rights restriction with humanitarian exception in managing HIV/AIDS among migrants.

New Social Order in the Pandemic Era: Covid-19 and Human Sociology in Makassar | Chapter 6 | An Overview of Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented global event in recent history. Beginning with the initial outbreak occurring in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, the virus rapidly spread across the globe, causing millions of deaths and creating an unprecedented health, economic, and social crisis unlike anything experienced over the past hundred years. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social interactions and community behaviour in Makassar, Indonesia. This study employed a phenomenological approach and is classified as qualitative descriptive research. Both primary and secondary data sources were included in this study. The results showed that the transmission of Covid-19 was a form of human interaction that, in their social life mutually greeting, intertwining, chatting, and apparently through this kind of interaction, the virus then spread. Physical and social distancing efforts are said to be an effective effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Community disobedience to distancing causes Covid-19 pandemic to become worse, and more victims falling, this is in persevere because of social behavior of the community in interacting with various issues that tend to affect the physical condition so as to cause the condition of the body to get sick so that this condition makes the virus easy to get into the body. While the public understands healthy is a condition, not sick. Pain can occur due to a germ or microbial infection into the human body and its infectious nature. There is also a degenerative pain that damages the body's organs (heart, stroke, hypertension, diabetes) because the diet and lifestyle are not appropriate. Covid-19 is a viral infection that is currently spreading rapidly and difficult to overcome because it has not found a vaccine to prevent the virus. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of strengthening community awareness, promoting healthy living habits, and ensuring consistent government health campaigns to prevent future outbreaks.

Exploring the Impact of Behaviour-Based Safety in Reducing Accidents in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry | Chapter 10 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 2

Background: Accidents are one of the most undesirable events in different industries. The impact of an accident can be devastating, with the potential for loss of lives and reduction in organisational profitability. However, over time, the perception of accidents changed, and many organisations accepted that all accidents are preventable. This led to the implementation of different strategies to prevent or reduce accidents in the different industries.

 

Aims: This study was carried out to test the impact of behaviour-based safety (BBS) implementation on accident rates. Specifically, the study aimed to identify whether the implementation of the BBS program led to a reduction in accidents among workers in the petroleum industry in Nigeria.

 

Methodology:  This study was based on a multiple case study design. The study was carried out on the petroleum industry in the Nigerian Niger Delta region. The questionnaire was deployed as the research instrument and was distributed to 50 workers in the Nigerian petroleum industry. A stratified random sampling technique was utilised to select the workers. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation. The oil industry is made up of both offshore and onshore installations and workers. The data was collected from different categories and levels of workers and across different vocations to enhance the reliability of the research conclusion.

 

Results:  Findings from the study indicated that the implementation of the BBS programme was effective in reducing accidents. Therefore, organisations that aim to address unsafe acts, at-risk behaviours, and accidents due to human frailties and performance difficulties can adopt BBS as a safety tool to drive improved safety culture.

 

Conclusion: This study established that the implementation of BBS resulted in the reduction of accident rate in the Nigerian petroleum industry. This indicates a positive effect on health and safety management. The implication is that organisational leaders can deploy BBS as an instrument to drive positive changes in safety culture to reduce accidents. Though this study concluded that the implementation of BBS contributes to the reduction in accidents, further study is recommended to address the proportion of accidents that the implementation of BBS impacts

River Water Chemistry in Romania: An Overview | Chapter 5 | Chemistry and Biochemistry: Research Progress Vol. 5

A comprehensive overview of the surface water status of Romania has been done by evaluating five main river streams. In this context, waters sampled from five different locations of Romanian rivers were examined to study the chemical composition of macro elements, heavy metals, respectively rare earths elements (REEs). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to highlight the variation of representative variables among target rivers: Aries, Somes, Mures, Olt, and Prut. The association between analytical techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) followed by supervised chemometric methods (linear discriminant analysis-LDA) proved to be a very useful association, able to highlight interesting information about data variation from these rivers. The ICP-MS analytical technique is suitable for analyzing microelements, toxic elements, and rare earth elements (REEs) at very low levels in surface river water samples. This approach, followed by interpretation and data preparation with chemometric methods, represents a step forward to a more comprehensive and realistic analytical data interpretation. The concentrations of most heavy metals in water were classified as average annual value ranges. Some trends of decreasing or, in other case, increasing were observed for particular our items, as follows: Olt River had the highest maximum values, followed by Prut River and Mures River. Somes River had the smallest inorganic loadings on the opposite side, with no maximum mean detected values. Determination of REEs in various environmental samples is essential because it can be used to create a sample fingerprint. Monitoring river water quality is an indispensable part of water management, where river water might serve as the sole water resource for different purposes.

Social Media Impact on Mental Health Using Data Analytics: A Classified Review | Chapter 17 | Leading the Charge: A Guide to Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology in the Dynamic Business Landscape Edition 1

This study examines the complex relationship between social media use and mental health using a comprehensive methodology, highlighting both positive and negative effects. Social media has become a major source of dependency for many people who are struggling with mental health concerns. The phrase "social media" describes a broad category of digital platforms that allow users to engage with each other in a virtual community and exchange, co-create, or share various types of digital content, including messages, images, videos, and information. Examples of these platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Studies have demonstrated that the rates of social media use by individuals with a variety of mental diseases, including psychotic disorders, depression, and other severe mental health issues, are comparable to those of the general population. Social media's pervasiveness has led to an explosion of studies examining its effects on mental health. This study applies data analytics to a thorough analysis of the body of literature, classifying the various conclusions using a hierarchical method. The study examines the possible advantages and disadvantages of social media use, investigating its connections to a range of mental health issues, such as social comparison, anxiety, and depression. The paper clarifies how data analytics may be used to comprehend the intricate link between social media and mental health by examining user behavior, linguistic trends, and content engagement. The study also highlights future prospects and constraints, emphasizing the necessity for longitudinal research and the ethical issues related to data collecting and processing in this field. With its insights into the complex effects of social media on mental health and its potential to stimulate more study and intervention techniques, this categorized review is an invaluable tool for academics, policymakers, and mental health practitioners.

Workplace Lifestyle Factors and Depressive Symptoms: A Study of Japanese Organizations | Chapter 6 | Disease and Health: Research Developments Vol. 5

Background: Mental illness, especially depression or the depressive state, inflicts great psychological distress on individuals and even entire neighborhoods and is a major problem influencing social life.

Aim: This study aims to examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and lifestyle-related factors.

Methods: The information presented in this report was collected as part of the Northern-Japan Occupational Health Promotion Centers Collaboration Study for Mental Health (NOCS-MH) for the occupational health promotion centers of the six administrative divisions located in the prefectures of northern Japan (Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, and Yamagata prefectures). A total of 2,220 employees (1,069 for males and 1,151 for females) in Japan completed the screening test of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies   Depression Scale (CES-D). The cutoff point for the CES-D scores was 16 or above (high scorers). Statistical analyses were performed to analyse the collected data. 

Results: The identified factors that showed significant effect from the binomial multivariate logistic regression for high scorers were as follows: “habits of having breakfast” in all participants (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.64–0.95); “have good eating habits” in females (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.48–0.86) and all participants (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.62–0.91); “satisfaction with sleep” in males (OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.37–0.64), females (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.36–0.61), and all participants (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.39–0.56); “smoking habits” in females (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.06–1.99); “daily alcohol consumption” in males (OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.48–0.82) and all participants (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.52–0.78); “hypertension” in females (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.38–0.99); “periodontal disease” in all participants (OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.00–2.34); “history of medication” in females (OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.07–1.79) and all participants (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.07–1.55).

Conclusion: A healthy lifestyle was found to be a factor related to the depressive symptoms of the Japanese employees. The limitation of this study lies in its cross-sectional design, which makes it difficult to determine whether the correlation associated with psychological distress is an antecedent or a consequence of depressive symptoms. In order to make inferences with regard to causality, a longitudinal follow-up study will be needed in future. Future studies should focus on evaluating the importance of lifestyle in preventing depressive disorders.

Evaluation of Policy-based Initiatives' Impact on Indian Tribal Populations: Current Circumstances and Potential for Development | Chapter 1 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 10

Anomalies, complications and difficulties at policy, planning, implementation, administration levels, allied problems with both the educational and healthcare systems, content, curriculum, medium of instruction, pedagogy, supervision, monitoring, teacher/colleague interaction related hitches, social, economic, and cultural issues are some of the reasons why tribal communities continue to lag behind the general population in health and education. To address various issues along with other allied variables, several social and government programmes have been witnessed over time to improve the general living standard of tribes in India. National and International scholarship schemes for higher education of ST Students, Pre-Matric Scholarship Schemes and Post-Matric Scholarship (PMS) Schemes are among them. The government of India also has achieved a number of milestones in the area of tribal health by launching various schemes and devising different portals such as National Tribal Health Portal, The Sickle Cell Disease Support (SCD) Corner; ALEKH: A Learning Endeavour for Knowledge in Healthcare and, The Tribal Health Compendium etc. The fact that just launching programmes and schemes is not a panacea for the scourge of illiteracy among tribal masses. The benefits of these programmes have only recently reached them. The tribal population's lack of awareness of these plans, the distinctive character of their houses, and administrative officials' disinterest in implementing these schemes and programmes are barriers to ST education and health.

National Tribal Talent Pool: Opportunities and Way Forward | Chapter 2 | Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research Vol. 9

 

India has the second-largest tribal population after Africa, and Schedule Tribes account for over 9% of the country's population, with over 705 identified STs now existent. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs is making far too many efforts to help tribal people with their economic, medical, and educational growth, and has also launched a number of initiatives to manage these enormously complicated undertakings, notably in higher education. Another important purpose of the Indian Government is to nurture indigenous young who, for whatever reasons, are unable to exhibit their skills on an appropriate platform. This article attempts to focus on the core premise of government initiatives for developing youthful talent for which an informal approach of employing Boolean operators was applied for the primary database searching as a result of which numerous research articles, public platforms, news articles and governmental portals were reviewed. Based on the study, it is concluded that the tribal people need to be educated about all government programs in order to create a strong bridge between the primitive tribal groups and the society. Initiatives such as the National Talent Pool will help with this, and young people of indigenous descent may facilitate the same.

Improved Biomass Stove on Health of Rural Families | Chapter 4 | Research Advances in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 2

Inefficient combustion of solid fuels emits high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and other harmful emissions. A strong association has been shown between household air pollution (HAP) and acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in children, and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and lung cancer in adults. The magnitude of these adverse health impacts, household air pollution from burning solid fuels in primitive cook stoves is the primary environmental cause of death. The 2014 Global Burden of Disease Report (GBDR) found household air pollution to be the third most deadly global risk factor, accounting for about 4.3 million deaths annually (mainly due to cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses), and the second greatest risk factor in India (Improved biomass cook stove, 2014). Exploratory and experimentalStudy was conducted during the year 2016-17 Dharwad and Vijayapur districts of Karnataka state. Keeping this in view a study was conducted in two villages namely Timmapur Village of Dharwad district and Bhaganager village of Vijayapur district. 60 households were randomly selected from each village. Interview schedule was used. More than 90 percent of the respondents in both the villages were illiterate and majority of the respondents had breathing problems. A highly significant difference was found between improved biomass stove and traditional stove and also among women of both villages. This indicates that the benefits were more effective while using improved biomass stove as compared to traditional stove.

Evidence from an In vivo Study of the Prevalence of Trichomonas tenax and Entamoeba gingivalis in Periodontal Disease Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy | Chapter 4 | Advancement and New Understanding in Medical Science Vol. 3

Aim: The purpose of this research was to compare normal people to those undergoing chemotherapy for periodontal disease and to determine the effect of the oral bacteria Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax. Then determine the parasites' pathogenicity by studying them in live organisms.

Materials and Methods: The research included 80 participants: 30 patients with periodontitis who visited the AL-Karama dental clinic, and 20 patients undergoing chemotherapy who were sent to the national center of hematology at Mustanasiriyah University in Iraq. In addition, the remaining 30 people were seen as a control group with healthy teeth and gums. Gum scrapings were promptly microscopically inspected using two methods: a wet-mount smear and a Giemsa-Romanovesky stain. As part of the experiment, the positive samples were cultivated on specific cultures and then applied to the gingival margins of three groups of rats, one of which was given an immunosuppressive medicine and the other two did not. This process was repeated for each parasite.

Results: Entamoeba gingivalis is more common in periodontitis patients (36.7% greater frequency), according to the data. Chemotherapy patients had a 30% greater frequency of E. gingivalis and a 10% higher frequency of Trichomonas tenax compared to the control group, whereas the percentages for the other two bacteria were 15% and 3.333%, respectively. There was no death, inflammation, or ulceration in the control group, but all rats in the first group that dealt with E. gingivalis developed periodontal ulcers; two rats in the second group died after 10 days; one rat in the third group had mild gingival inflammation but was otherwise healthy; and all rats in the fourth group dealt with T. tenax were still alive and had healthy gingiva.

Conclusion: Periodontal individuals had elevated E. gingivalis frequencies, according to these results. Frequencies were greater in the treatment group compared to the control group. People undergoing chemotherapy may develop a harmful infection caused by In Vivo Entamoeba gingivalis.
