Health Cooperation in light of crises and sanctions in Developing Countries. (Case study in Syria)
3-32Views:164The methods, mechanisms, and plans for international health cooperation are still vague. However, many studies have confirmed that political affairs have great impacts on health bodies and organizations. Accordingly, the current study focuses on a special case which is the 13-year Syrian crisis, under the semi-collapse of the health system, foreign sanctions, and the unprecedented high demand for public health services. Hence, the problem can be expressed by the following question: Has health cooperation contributed to achieving social results during the Syrian crisis period under the increasing demand for health services? On the other hand, the study aimed to illustrate the reality of health cooperation (global, macro, micro) in the Syrian government areas, which suffer from external sanctions. Moreover, it aims to study, analyze, and predict the demand for health services in Syria (Latakia (using artificial intelligence models represented by the Facebook profit model and illustrating the social consequences of health cooperation in these areas. However, the descriptive analytical approach was used and artificial intelligence models were applied to analyze and predict data using Python. Accordingly, the study has an important set of results including: The economic sanctions imposed on the Syrian government during the current war have had a great impact on the economic situation in general, and the health sector in particular leading to a weak health system. Furthermore, the demand for health services in Latakia public hospitals increased significantly because of people displacement, in addition to high levels of poverty. Health cooperation in Syria has not resulted in effective social returns or to be able to encounter growing demand and minimize citizens’ burdens. Finally, artificial intelligence models are highly efficient and credible in predicting health demand, which contributes to the development of plans and strategies.

The Role of Health Cooperation in Building Aggregate Demand for Health Services
Views:42Working in a team greatly improves health cooperation and helps propose innovative solutions for health issues. Furthermore, a multidisciplinary team has more overlapping roles defined by communication and troubleshooting. However, Demand for health services is significant as it is related to the social aspect of citizens’ health status in a country. Since it is significant, the current study focuses on a very important problem, which is the possibility of estimating the total social demand for health services through public-private sector cooperation in third-world countries, represented by Syria. Moreover, it endeavors to propose a model for estimating the total social demand for health services in the public and private sectors. The descriptive analytical approach was used, and the data were collected through cooperation between a team of health experts in various fields, depending on the available secondary data, interviews, and the observation and estimation of the primary data. The model design includes dividing the total demand into six dimensions, which are (demand for hospitals, demand for health centers, demand for medical clinics, demand for dental clinics, demand for pharmacies, and demand for laboratories). The study has the following result: Health collaboration plays an important role in designing the proposed model and getting the missing health data needed.

The role of urban green spaces in the well-being of people with dementia and their carers
50-77Views:341The aim of our empirical research was to explore how walking in green spaces in urban neighbourhoods contributes to the well-being of people with dementia and their informal carers. The study involved 3 caregiver – care recipient dyads, with carers keeping diary entries of regular walks together for a month (April-May 2021). In addition to the diary writing, carers completed a quantitative questionnaire as part of their research, in which they assessed their own and their relative's mental and mood state and their interaction before, during and after the walk. Based on the assessments of the questionnaires received from the 39 walks, results showed significant improvements in mental state and mood for both carers and cared-for persons, as well as in the way their dyads interacted with each other as a result of the walk. This trend was also supported and explained by the textual content of the diary entries. Thus, our small sample study was able to demonstrate that in the case of the caregiver – care recipient dyads we studied, a walk in an urban green environment had a positive effect on the mood and mental state of both partners, as well as on their cooperation. The significance of our results is that they support the role of urban green spaces in health promotion among chronic patients and their informal caregivers in a national sample: walking in nature can thus be considered a low-cost, generally positive and relatively easy and accessible intervention with a high impact.
