"On September 21 and 22, 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a group of 20 experts in the field of community design to discuss raising awareness about the health impact of community design decisions. The gathering included top thought leaders whose organizations represent those who play a direct role in creating the built environment through action and policy--developers, architects, planners, builders, academia, public health professionals, and government officials. Its interdisciplinary nature was both unique and intentional. The workshop was conceived as a result of a series of interviews in September and October 2008 that CDC had conducted with professionals in the public health, planning, and built environment sectors. From these interviews, two key themes emerged: A common concern about health exists, but common language among the disciplines is lacking; Almost no cross-discipline synergy on shared health concerns exists, and local public health professionals are not in the loop at the critical early stages of policy and project development." - p. 4 ; I.

Restricting children's exposures to marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages is a global obesity prevention priority. Monitoring marketing exposures supports informed policymaking. This study presents a global overview of children's television advertising exposure to healthy and unhealthy products. Twenty-two countries contributed data, captured between 2008 and 2017. Advertisements were coded for the nature of foods and beverages, using the 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) Europe Nutrient Profile Model (should be permitted/not-permitted to be advertised). Peak viewing times were defined as the top five hour timeslots for children. On average, there were four times more advertisements for foods/beverages that should not be permitted than for permitted foods/beverages. The frequency of food/beverages advertisements that should not be permitted per hour was higher during peak viewing times compared with other times (P < 0.001). During peak viewing times, food and beverage advertisements that should not be permitted were higher in countries with industry self-regulatory programmes for responsible advertising compared with countries with no policies. Globally, children are exposed to a large volume of television advertisements for unhealthy foods and beverages, despite the implementation of food industry programmes. Governments should enact regulation to protect children from television advertising of unhealthy products that undermine their health.

Die Sozialgerichtsbarkeit ist zentrale Institution des sozialen Rechtsstaats. Hier werden soziale Rechte verwirklicht und der Sozialstaat erfahrbar. Zugleich sind die Sozialgerichtsbarkeit und ihre vor- und nebengelagerten Bereiche Orte, an denen gesellschaftliche Konflikte ausgetragen werden. Als solche sind sie bisher nicht Gegenstand umfassender Forschung. Der Band ist ein Beitrag zur interdisziplinären Sozialpolitikforschung und bringt unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf die rechtlichen und gerichtlichen Handlungsformen des Sozialstaats zusammen. Sie waren Gegenstand einer Fachkonferenz der im FIS geförderten Nachwuchsgruppe "Die Sozialgerichtsbarkeit und die Entwicklung von Sozialrecht und Sozialpolitik in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland".

Background: South Africa's development and growth in healthcare since the 1900s is phenomenal, but certain present-day healthcare policies such as the Traditional Health Practitioners Act (Act No 22, 2007), could jeopardize it. Aims: The study aims to determine if the Traditional Health Practitioners Act No 22 is a godsend to the South African healthcare or if there is an indication of doom. Methods: This is an exploratory and descriptive study that makes use of an historical approach by means of investigation and a literature review. The emphasis is on using current documentation like articles, books and newspapers as primary sources to reflect on the thinking and opinions around the contribution of the Traditional Health Practitioners Act No 22 of 2007 to the South African healthcare sector. The findings are offered in narrative form. Results: It seems that the Traditional Health Practitioners Act No 22 (2007) was promulgated without comprehensive exploratory research and an in-depth consultation with all the role-players involved in South Africa's healthcare, especially the already statutory registered health professionals. Conclusion: Political influences played a strong part in the promulgation of the Traditional Health Practitioners Act in 2007. In 2017 it is still not fully operational and the indication is that it will take years for the traditional health practitioner to become a full member of the health sector, if ever. This health Act can cause serious long-term disturbances for the already established healthcare practitioners and the statutory healthcare sector.

Abstract. On 22 December 2018, a tsunami was generated from the Mount Anak Krakatau
area that was caused by volcanic flank failures. The tsunami had severe
impacts on the western coast of Banten and the southern coasts of Lampung in
Indonesia. A series of surveys to measure the impacts of the tsunami was
started 3 d after the tsunami and lasted for 10 d. Immediate
investigations allowed the collection of relatively authentic images of the
tsunami impacts before the clearing process started. This article
investigates the impacts of the 2018 Sunda Strait tsunami on the affected
areas and presents an analysis of the impacts of pure hydrodynamic tsunami
forces on buildings. Impacts of the tsunami were expected to exhibit
different characteristics than those found following the 2004 Indian Ocean
tsunami in Aceh. Data were collected from 117 flow depths along the Banten
and Lampung coasts. Furthermore, 98 buildings or houses were assessed for
damage. Results of this study revealed that the flow depths were higher in
Banten than in Lampung. Directions of the tsunami arrays created by the
complex bathymetry around the strait caused these differences.
Tsunami-induced damage to buildings was mostly the result of impact forces
and drag forces. Damping forces could not be associated with the damage.
The tsunami warning system in Indonesia should be extended to anticipate
non-seismic tsunamis, such as landslides and volcanic processes driven by
tsunamis. The lack of a tsunami warning during the first few minutes after the
generation of the first wave led to a significant number of human casualties
in both of the affected areas.
