This study assesses the effectiveness of such an approach in locating TB cases among vulnerable groups, such as homeless persons, injecting drug users, those detained in prison, and people living in rural areas.Methods: The study focuses on socio-economic characteristics and TB detection rates across Romanian counties using modern techniques including computer-aided detection of lesions on chest X-ray and GeneXpert tests.Results: The results highlight the disproportionate burden of TB in vulnerable groups, by revealing significant differences in TB detection rates between regions. Notably, the TB detection rates among these vulnerable groups (250.85 per 100,000 population) are five times higher than the national incidence rate (46.1).Discussion: These findings underscore the imperative integration of ACF into National TB Program to provide customized and efficient solutions for diverse vulnerable groups, thereby informing crucial public health initiatives and interventions.Keywords: active screening, vulnerable populations, socio-demographic analysis, GeneXpert, intervention health strategies, tuberculosis

Abstract

The article formalizes the model of cultural heritage management, clarifies the content of cultural heritage cognition by considering the processes of studying, preserving and using cultural heritage objects as a factor in the development of tourism in the Russian Federation, taking into account modern challenges and opportunities. The preservation of cultural heritage and its rational use have a key role and importance for attracting tourist flows and improving socio-economic indicators and sustainable development of the region. In this regard, the importance of highlighting the internal structure of the cultural heritage management process as a factor in the development of tourism in the Russian Federation is actualized. The purpose of the study: to formalize the model of cultural heritage management as a factor of tourism development in the Russian Federation. The research methodology is represented by a set of general scientific and special historical methods of scientific cognition, the principles of historicism, scientific, systematic and complex. The scientific novelty consists in an attempt to comprehensively comprehend the problem of studying, preserving and using Russian cultural heritage objects based on the analysis of contemporary research on the subject, taking into account modern realities and formalizing the model of cultural heritage management as a factor in the development of tourism. The model of cultural heritage management as a factor of tourism development in the Russian Federation is formalized. The main reserves for improving the efficiency of cultural heritage management as a factor of tourism development are improving the quality of tourist products in the field of cultural and educational tourism; combining material and intangible parts of cultural heritage; developing eventfulness in the regions; creating an authentic environment in Russian tourist locations; branding cultural heritage sites and territories of their placement; using a wide range of digital technologies to promote and involve cultural heritage objects in the tourism industry; training professional personnel to work in the cultural and educational tourism industry.

Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext, BackgroundEuropean-specific policies for tuberculosis (TB) elimination require identification of key populations that benefit from TB screening.AimWe aimed to identify groups of foreign-born individuals residing in European countries that benefit most from targeted TB prevention screening.MethodsThe Tuberculosis Network European Trials group collected, by cross-sectional survey, numbers of foreign-born TB patients residing in European Union (EU) countries, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK) in 2020 from the 10 highest ranked countries of origin in terms of TB cases in each country of residence. Tuberculosis incidence rates (IRs) in countries of residence were compared with countries of origin.ResultsData on 9,116 foreign-born TB patients in 30 countries of residence were collected. Main countries of origin were Eritrea, India, Pakistan, Morocco, Romania and Somalia. Tuberculosis IRs were highest in patients of Eritrean and Somali origin in Greece and Malta (both > 1,000/100,000) and lowest among Ukrainian patients in Poland (3.6/100,000). They were mainly lower in countries of residence than countries of origin. However, IRs among Eritreans and Somalis in Greece and Malta were five times higher than in Eritrea and Somalia. Similarly, IRs among Eritreans in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK were four times higher than in Eritrea.ConclusionsCountry of origin TB IR is an insufficient indicator when targeting foreign-born populations for active case finding or TB prevention policies in the countries covered here. Elimination strategies should be informed by regularly collected country-specific data to address rapidly changing epidemiology and associated risks.

29. Effect of Suction on the Drained Seismic Compression of Unsaturated Sand

Abstract

Backfill soils in many geotechnical applications are compacted and are likely to be in an unsaturated state during operation. In earthquake-prone areas, seismic compression of unsaturated backfill soils should be understood as small settlements may have significant impacts on the performance of overlying infrastructure like bridge decks, roadways, or railways. Accordingly, the goal of this paper is to describe the results from a series of constant suction, drained, cyclic simple shear tests on unsaturated sands subjected to a range of shear strain amplitudes. A new cyclic simple shear apparatus was developed that involves control of the matric suction and monitoring of changes in degree of saturation using the hanging column approach along with monitoring of the matric suction using an embedded tensiometer.
