Presented by Jeff Gilbert at the second scientific Asia and the Pacific symposium on "Sustainable diets: Human nutrition and livestock", Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, 21 August 2013.
This document provides an overview of primary health care (PHC). It discusses the history and development of PHC, beginning with the World Health Organization's goal of attaining the highest level of health for all people. Various approaches between 1948 and 1978 were unable to meet this objective, until the 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration established PHC as the key strategy. The principles of PHC include intersectoral collaboration, community involvement, appropriate technology, equity, prevention focus, and decentralization. The strategy involves changes to health systems, individual/collective responsibility, and intersectoral action. Components encompass health education, nutrition, water/sanitation, maternal/child health, immunization, disease control, and essential drugs
This document provides an overview of oral health promotion. It defines oral health promotion as public health actions to protect or improve oral health through behavioral, educational, socioeconomic, legal, environmental and social measures. The document discusses the origins and concepts of health promotion, as well as methods, strategies and approaches to oral health promotion. It also examines barriers to oral health promotion and provides examples of oral health promotion in action through various international conferences and charters.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Measuring gravitational attraction with a lattice atom interferometerSérgio Sacani
Despite being the dominant force of nature on large scales, gravity remains relatively
elusive to precision laboratory experiments. Atom interferometers are powerful tools
for investigating, for example, Earth’s gravity1
, the gravitational constant2
, deviations
from Newtonian gravity3–6
and general relativity7
. However, using atoms in free fall
limits measurement time to a few seconds8
, and much less when measuring
interactions with a small source mass2,5,6,9
. Recently, interferometers with atoms
suspended for 70 s in an optical-lattice mode fltered by an optical cavity have been
demonstrated10–14. However, the optical lattice must balance Earth’s gravity by
applying forces that are a billionfold stronger than the putative signals, so even tiny
imperfections may generate complex systematic efects. Thus, lattice interferometers
have yet to be used for precision tests of gravity. Here we optimize the gravitational
sensitivity of a lattice interferometer and use a system of signal inversions to suppress
and quantify systematic efects. We measure the attraction of a miniature source mass
to be amass = 33.3 ± 5.6stat ± 2.7syst nm s−2, consistent with Newtonian gravity, ruling out
‘screened ffth force’ theories3,15,16 over their natural parameter space. The overall
accuracy of 6.2 nm s−2 surpasses by more than a factor of four the best similar
measurements with atoms in free fall5,6
. Improved atom cooling and tilt-noise
suppression may further increase sensitivity for investigating forces at sub-millimetre
ranges17,18, compact gravimetry19–22, measuring the gravitational Aharonov–Bohm

Centrifugation is a technique, based upon the behaviour of particles in an applied centrifugal filed.
Centrifugation is a mechanical process which involves the use of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed.
The denser components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge, while the less dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis.

The remaining liquid that lies above the precipitate is called a supernatant.
Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.
This presentation intends to offer a bird's eye view of organic farming and its importance in the production of organic food and the soil health of artificial ecosystems.
Cultivation of human viruses and its different techniques.MDAsifKilledar
Viruses are extremely small, infectious agents that invade cells of all types. These have been culprits in many human disease including small pox,flu,AIDS and ever present common cold as well as plants bacteria and archea .
Viruses cannot multiply outside the living host cell, However the isolation, enumeration and identification become a difficult task. Instead of chemical medium they require a host body.
Viruses can be cultured in the animals such as mice ,monkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs etc. After inoculation animals are carefully examined for the development of signs or symptoms, further they may be killed.

A Personal Journey
into One Health
4. One Health Capacity Building – What is wanted – What is needed
• Many different technical areas
involve elements of human –
animal – environment health
• But where should One Health
capacity building focus?
5. One Health – what does it cover - an evolving concept
Traditional OH concept: Reduce human and
animal health risks at the human-animal-
plant-environment interface: zoonoses, AMR,
food safety, disease emergence
Developing OH concept: Social-economic-ecosystems
that sustain humans, animals, plants and ecosystems.
Systems that support sustainable, equitable health and
well-being across different systems
"Advancing One Health: Updated core competences." Laing 2023 CABI One Health
6. One Health definition
“ One Health is an integrated, unifying approach…to sustainably balance and optimize
the health of people, animals and ecosystems.
It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider
environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.
The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities to tackle threats
to health and ecosystems, while addressing the … need for clean water, energy and air,
safe and nutritious food, climate change, and sustainable development.”
OHHLEP, 2021
https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/one-health-high-level-expert-panel-annual-report-2021
Multiple sectors must work together to best manage the health of
humans, animals and ecosystems
This is complex with diverse and interdependent benefits and trade-offs
7. One Health Capacity Building
When is it wanted – When is it needed
One Health approaches are needed when:
• 1) Need to consider multi-sectoral, diverse impacts for decision making

Good policy needs to consider and weigh up all these diverse benefits and
impacts
One Ministry will struggle to do this

• 1) Need to consider multi-sectoral, diverse impacts for decision making
Policy formulation
• 2) Coordinated joined-up approaches need to be implemented

One Health Capacity Building
When is it wanted – When is it needed
11. One Health Game theory
the added value of a One Health approach
• Interest in rabies vaccination in Chad - 2003
• When the Chadian Minister of Health was asked about the mass vaccination of
dogs to eliminate human rabies, he replied that he was responsible for the
people and not for the dogs
• Asked about the same issue, the Minister of Animal Production replied that his
priority was cattle and not dogs
• Economic analysis demonstrated that the cost alone of doing mass vaccination
of dogs as well as human treatment (PEP) was less than human treatment,
because vaccination of dogs can interrupt the transmission of human rabies
• Here a One Health approach results in a better outcome for human health and
wellbeing
• A One Health approach is more cost-effective – the value added of One Health

Simple and obvious but siloed approaches block these rational approaches

One Health approaches are needed when:

Policy formulation
• 2) Coordinated joined-up approaches need to be implemented
Policy Implementation
• Focus on enabling One Health approaches
not the many individual technical areas
that sit under the One Health umbrella
One Health Capacity Building
When is it wanted – When is it needed
13. One Health capacitation - The vision
• By embedding a collaborative, holistic One Health Approach societies will
be equipped to deal with complex, multidisciplinary challenges…
• This contrasts with siloed approaches which may be incapable of
considering complex, systems-wide, multi-sectoral challenges
• or may only address one of many different societal outcomes, neglecting
the others–with single sector gains but overall losses to wider society
• One Health capacity building – much already done, AFROHUN…
= capacitating individuals+organisational structures
The two are linked – As tribal approaches of individuals lead to the closed doors tribal
culture of organisations

One Health –
Competencies
NEOH:
9 competencies for One Health
3 themes
"Advancing One Health: Updated core
competences." Laing 2023
CABI One Health
Approaches for One Health capacity building
Enable individuals from any discipline to collaborate and adopt
transdisciplinary approaches
Can be incorporated into any course or stand alone modules
15. 15
What did we do?
• Inter-Universities Council of East Africa
• Supported by COHESA with CGIAR One Health Initiative
- A mix of Core Competencies and technical skills
- Experts in higher education felt this was important
16. 16
One Health Capacity Building – Making it real
• One Health experts can become abstract
• “Academics talking in ivory towers…”
• Implementors (public and private) deal with specific issues
• RVF, AMR, Agrochemicals, Land encroachment…
• But need to be able to take a One Health approach
• Training must be delivered in a way that engages and allows
competencies to be applied directly to these specific issues
17. One Health Game theory
the added value of a One Health approach
• Rabies vaccination in Chad - 2003
• When the Chadian Minister of Health was asked about the mass
vaccination of dogs to eliminate human rabies, he replied that he was
responsible for the people and not for the dogs
• Asked about the same issue, the Minister of Animal Production replied
that his priority was cattle and not dogs
• Economic analysis demonstrated that the cost of doing mass
vaccination of dogs and human treatment (PEP) was less than human
treatment alone, because vaccination of dogs can interrupt the
transmission of rabies
• Here a One Health approach results in a better outcome for human
health and wellbeing

One Health – What are the successes?
-Need to show the value of taking a One Health approach
-Need a clear incentive for change and investment
18. 18
One Health Capacity Building – Where to target
• Capacitating individuals – but who?
• Professionals on the job
• Higher Education curricula – modules and longer courses
• Challenges – Time taken to make and adopt new courses
• Uncertain career from OH specialist qualifications
• But to influence behaviour concepts need to be introduced at a young age
• Primary school?
19. 19
One Health Capacity Building – Where to target
• But do children and the general public (taxi drivers…) need knowledge
of One Health approaches
• I do not think so - What will they do with this information?
• Need to deal with specific threats, dog bites, etc...
• Not One Health approaches and theory
• But promoting One Health awareness has advocacy value
20. 20
• Need to build capacity in using One Health approaches and collaborative
organisational structures
oTo make rational decisions and implement impactful actions
oCapacity in specific technical areas is a separate gap
• But One Health approaches need to be grounded in real issues and not abstract
• Different content and focus needed for different groups
• Efforts should focus on target groups dealing with One Health issues
• Need to show tangible added value of One Health
