DHS Further Analysis Reports No. 97
ARC resource pack - Study material
This report is primarily intended for the community of policymakers and researchers concerned about the rising risks of domestic, regional, and global infectious disease epidemics, and the collective failure to take the coordinated actions required to reduce such risks. These risks include the expec...ted health, economic, and societal costs that are borne by countries, regions, and even all nations in the case of pandemics (which are worldwide epidemics). These risks also include the consequences of increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and its spread within regions and globally. A necessary first step is to monitor whether a broad range of stakeholders are acting to prevent outbreaks from becoming epidemics, whether their capacities to respond to epidemics are robust, and whether preparedness to respond to pandemics and limit the resulting economic and health damage is improving. Analyzing the adequacy of these efforts is vitally important for the decisions of policymakers to invest in the public health and disaster-risk management capacities. Early and effective control of disease outbreaks prevents substantial health and economic costs whether or not the disease can spread globally and become a pandemic.

Ce document propose tout d’abord de comprendre ce qu’est un système de protection de l’enfance et pour quelles raisons Tdh entend « penser système » et se consacrer au renforcement des systèmes de protection (section 1). Il décrit ensuite le modèle d’action de référence de Tdh en ma...tière de renforcement des SPE et présente les principales interventions à mener dans cette perspective, en fonction de différents contextes (section 2). Un cadrage méthodologique et des informations d’ordre pratique viennent illustrer les manières concrètes d’intervenir en ce domaine (section 3). En annexe se trouve une description des actions composant la matrice de base à utiliser en matière de renforcement des SPE. Cette description est complétée par quelques exemples de projets et d’expériences actuellement engagés par Tdh sur le terrain en différents lieux de la planète.

Можно выделить две формы энкопреза: энкопрез с запором и без запора. Такое разделение крайне важно, так как в основе этих двух форм лежит разная патофизиология, они ...имеют разные клинические признаки, и в отношении них применяются разные подходы в лечении (т.е. вторая форма энкопреза не реагирует на применение слабительных, тогда как в лечении первой они игра-ют существенную роль). Цель этой главы – представить обзор практических подходов в диагностике и лечении этих двух подтипов энкопреза.
