Abstract:
It is estimated that over nine million new tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide occurred in 2009. However, only 63% of these cases were notified, which is lower than the 75% target set by the DOTS strategy. The lack of ideal diagnostic tests is one of the major barriers to effective TB reduction. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the efficiency of a novel liquid culture based technique (Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay-MODS) and a new generation fluorescence microscope (Light Emitting Diodes fluorescence microscope - LED fluorescence microscope) in diagnosis of TB and multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR- TB) in Viet Nam, a resource limited, high burden setting. In the studies described in this thesis, MODS had a higher sensitivity than homogenous smear microscopy, detecting an additional 13% of cases, in diagnosis of TB. Importantly, the pooled sensitivity of MODS (53.0%) was comparable to that of Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube technique (MGIT) (57.8%) with clinical presentation as the gold standard. In terms of multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR- TB) diagnosis, MODS had rather low sensitivity in detection of Isoniazid (INH) or Rifampicin (RIF) resistant and MDR isolates, 72.6%, 72.7% and 77.8%, respectively against the proportional drug susceptibility testing (DST) method. The low sensitivity of DST-MODS in this study was probably due to low bacterial load samples and use of a high INH critical concentration (O.4~g/ml). For LED microscopy, the detection rate, sensitivity, specificity and false negative of LED 40X were comparable to those of conventional fluorescence microscope and light microscope. The false positive rate • of LED 40X increased in comparison with Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) reading in the early phases of the evaluation (2.6% and 2.7% vs 0% in the validation and implementation phases vs continuation phase, respectively), probably due to lack of experience among technicians, but no significant difference was found (P>0.05). In the last phase, no false positive result was recorded. Although the reading time of fluorescence-LED (FM-LED) and ZN reading were less than 2 minutes, ZN-light microscope (ZN-LM) reading time was shorter than that of FM-LED40X, especially in positive smears (P=0.007) in the early study phase. By the end of the study, FM-LED reading time was shorter than ZN-LM which was recorded in the early phase. With high experienced technicians there may be little or no additional benefit to case detection if a light microscope is replaced by a fluorescence microscope. In general, MODS and LED microscopy are reliable methods for use in diagnosis of TB in resource limited settings due to their accuracy, reliability and low costs. Large scale operational projects should be conducted to evaluate the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of these methods in countries where these techniques are to be implemented.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) after birth is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-limited regions. Therapeutic hypothermia initiated within the first 6 hours of life, in settings that can offer neonatal intensive care, is a therapy that can reduce death or severe disability in newborn infants with moderate or severe HIE. Therapeutic hypothermia has not been shown to be safe or effective in low-resource settings where neonatal intensive care is not available; however, there are situations such as in some centres in South Africa, where limited neonatal intensive care (NICU) is available against a background of moderate neonatal mortality rates, relatively low socio-economic conditions and limited capacity for long-term follow-up. In such settings, accurate case definition and early prediction of HIE and outcome may assist with the appropriate allocation of resources. The amplitude-integrated electro-encephalogram (aEEG) is an ideal tool to use for prediction of outcome and the need for cooling, but it’s availability is limited, particularly at primary and secondary hospitals.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Free tissue transfer has become the standard of care for the reconstruction of head and neck oncological defects. The Groote Schuur Hospital provides a microsurgical reconstructive service in a resource-limited setting, without access to venous couplers, invasive monitoring devices, modern microscopes or sophisticated pre-operative imaging. The reconstructive surgeons perform all anastomoses under x4.5 loupe magnification. Methods: A retrospective chart review was undertaken of cases performed by the service over a 3-year period. Demographic factors, indications for flap cover, operative details (flap used, duration and lowest recorded temperature), intensive care and hospital length of stay, and other outcomes were recorded and evaluated (including flap and systemic complications, donor site morbidity, haematomas as well as returns to theatre). Results: Over a 36-month period, 109 flaps for head and neck reconstruction were performed. The main indication for surgery was squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The mean operating time for resection and reconstruction was 6.02 h (range of 4 to 12 h). Virtually, all reconstructions were performed using one of either radial forearm, free fibula or anterolateral thigh flaps. We report a complete flap loss rate of 6 %. All four successful salvages were undertaken in the early (less than 24 h) post-operative period. Hypothermia intra-operatively appears to correlate very closely with pejorative outcomes. Conclusions: By restricting reconstructive options to three main 'workhorse' flaps and by utilising a simultaneous two-team approach for tumour ablation and flap elevation, success rates comparable to international standards have been achieved. Limited resources should not be regarded as an impassable barrier to providing a successful microvascular head and neck reconstructive service.

Abstract:
Diagnosis of paediatric HIV infection presents a spectrum of challenges particularly in countries where resources are constrained. This program of research aims to illuminate epidemiological and clinical aspects of HIV diagnosis in resource limited settings focusing in particular on the nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG). This body of work commences with an exploration of current literature pertaining to diagnosis of HIV infection in resource constrained settings. This exploration encompasses the current epidemiological data available on HIV infection in the paediatric population worldwide, currently available methods of diagnosis and other aspects of diagnosis of paediatric HIV infection in developing nations including sampling considerations, breast feeding, health services, human resources and the relationship between early diagnosis and early treatment. The next chapter presents an epidemiological analysis of the HIV epidemic in PNG and a description of the paediatric services at Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) the site for most of the research presented in the thesis. The original research presented in the thesis begins with a report (Chapter 3) of a survey of paediatric diagnosis and treatment services in PNG in comparison to other countries in the Asia Pacific region. This is followed by an exploratory retrospective study elucidating factors associated with HIV testing and HIV positive serostatus in children admitted to PMGH. Selection for testing was found to be significantly associated with age, length of hospital stay and diagnoses of diarrhoea, malnutrition and oral candidiasis. Tuberculosis was associated with HIV positive serostatus. In advance of a prospective study to ascertain clinical predictors of HIV infection, a study to evaluate acceptability of HIV testing amongst carers of children admitted to PMGH was undertaken. Testing was acceptable to the majority of carers interviewed. This program of research concludes with a prospective cross-sectional study revealing low weight for age, persistent fever, lymphadenopathy and oral candidiasis to be independent predictors of HIV infection in children admitted to PMGH. An algorithm for clinically directed screening of children for HIV infection in a hospital setting was subsequently developed. Finally evidence based clinical recommendations and suggestions for the direction of future research efforts were made.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD
Introduction: This study was conducted because of a gap in information on the factors influencing the health promoting schools (HPS) implementation process in South Africa (SA) specifically and in secondary schools globally. The aim of this context- sensitive, practice-based study was to explore and understand the complexity of the factors that influenced the implementation process of HPS in three secondary schools in a resource-limited setting in Cape Town, SA. This research drew on a five year project that initiated the implementation of HPS in these schools. Methodology: An exploratory qualitative study was used, adopting a multiple case study design. The sample included two principals, ten teachers and 30 students involved in HPS implementation at their schools, and the three school facilitators, who served as mentors to the schools. The data collection methods included: individual interviews, focus group discussions, documentary review, secondary data and observations. A conceptual framework was developed drawing on the settings approach and various implementation frameworks and was used to analyse the findings. Thematic analysis was employed and the data for each case were analysed separately first before undertaking cross case analysis. Findings: A combination of several internal and external factors influenced the ability of the schools to implement and integrate HPS as a whole school approach. A key factor was the degree of understanding of the HPS concept by all key actors and where there was lucid understanding, there was better integration. Significant school factors included the schools’ readiness for change; a culture of collaboration and cooperation; existing school structures, practices and workload; the leadership style and management role of the principals; the role and influence of HPS champion teachers; and the role that students played. The major external factors included the role of the education district; the role of project team as external catalysts for change; and the community context. The main achievements in all schools were discrete activities, including co-curricular activities rather than changes to routine school functions. This highlighted the difficulty in implementing HPS as a whole school approach, a challenge typical of all health promoting settings. Conclusion: The findings illustrate the challenge of achieving full integration of HPS, although the influencing factors, and hence level of integration varied mainly according to context. This highlights the complexity of the different factors and their impact. The study demonstrates the paradox of HPS implementation. In that, despite the recognition of the value of HPS, the challenges to address the complexity of factors that would have brought about change through a whole school approach were too great. It was too difficult to change the status quo from what was routinely done to a more radical way of working due to the conservatism of traditional ways of working and extent of adjustment that it would have resulted. It was therefore only possible to put simple, discrete, strategies in place and that was not too resource intensive. The study concluded that this does not imply that HPS should not be attempted, particularly where there are adverse conditions that would benefit from HPS. Starting with marginal changes, it can be effective in increasing the schools’ readiness for change, building on the achievements both in activities and structures, and the resultant commitment by those involved. Once they experience these changes it will more likely enable schools to incrementally attempt more complex changes. The key recommendations for within the school include: building the understanding and capacity of relevant actors to actively support the implementation of HPS; building the capacity of the principal to create an environment which is conducive to change; and providing support for the HPS champions and students. Recommendations for those external to the school include: support from external catalysts who can provide expertise and mentorship; support from the education district, especially in terms of policies on integration, resources, and raising the profile of HPS; and better collaboration between the education and health sectors. Although most of the literature on HPS implementation identifies similar issues to those found in this study, the complexity has not, to date, been sufficiently described. The contribution of this study, therefore, is to take the debate on the complexity of the factors influencing HPS implementation forward.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction and Background High fidelity simulation (HFS) refers to a mannequin that is modeled to represent a human and is programmed to produce physiologic functions such as palpable pulses, voices and abdominal sounds through computer interfaces. Recent introduction of HFS for learning nursing skills like critical thinking and problem solving in the developing world (Lesotho) has generated debate. The debate is centered on the acceptability of HFS, its effectiveness as a learning strategy compared to its high cost, especially in resource limited settings. Its acceptability in the developing world to date is mixed, affecting its ultimate utilization. Therefore contextual differences between developing and developed countries suggest that research findings on the evaluation of acceptability of HFS in the two places could be different. Additionally, health sciences education is a highly complex discipline with huge differences in practices within and across classes, schools, sites and countries, making it difficult to generalize findings from other settings to the setting of Lesotho. Aim The purpose of this study was to explore third year diploma in nursing students’ perceptions and experiences of HFS use in learning nursing skills. Methods A qualitative descriptive design was utilized to investigate HFS use at a school of nursing. Sixteen participants took part in three separate focus group discussions in two groups of five, and one group of six participants. The data was analyzed thematically. Results Students had mixed perceptions, positive and negative, based on the nature of their experiences which were both fulfilling and frustrating. This study revealed five key themes that shaped students experiences, hence perceptions of using HFS in learning. The themes are authentic learning environment, unique learning opportunities, access, contextual factors and transfer of skills. Discussion Student nurses had both positive and negative experiences of using HFS in learning. They believe that HFS is a valuable learning strategy but that it needs to be better utilized. Student nurses perceive HFS as providing an authentic learning environment which allows learning of complex skills like critical thinking and problem solving. On the other hand, they believe that learning can be improved if HFS is more accessible for use by students and if supervisors are adequately trained and students are better oriented on the use of HFS in learning. Conclusions HFS is viewed as an effective learning strategy among nursing students in resource limited settings, although there in need to improve its utilization for better learning experiences and outcomes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding en Agtergrond Hoëtrou-simulasie (HTS) verwys na ’n pop wat gemodelleer is om ’n mens te verteenwoordig en geprogrammeer is om fisiologiese funksies soos tasbare polse, stemme en abdominale klanke te lewer deur rekenaar-koppelvlakke. Onlangse bekendstelling van HTS in die aanleer van verpleegvaardighede soos kritiese denke en probleemoplossing in die ontwikkelende wêreld (Lesotho) het debat laat ontstaan. Die debat sentreer om die aanvaarbaarheid van HTS en sy effektiwiteit as ’n leerstrategie in vergelyking met sy hoë koste, veral in hulpbronbeperkte omgewings. HTS se aanvaarbaarheid op verskillende plekke in die ontwikkelende wêreld tot op datum is gemeng, wat die uiteindelike gebruik daarvan raak. Daarom dui kontekstuele verskille tussen ontwikkelende en ontwikkelde lande aan dat navorsingsbevindings oor die beoordeling van aanvaarbaarheid van HTS in die twee omgewings kan wissel. Bykomend is opleiding in die gesondheidswetenskappe ’n uiters komplekse dissipline met groot verskille in praktyke binne en oor klasse, skole, omgewings en lande, wat dit moeilik maak om bevindings van ander omgewings tot die omgewing van Lesotho te veralgemeen. Doel Die doel van hierdie studie was om derdejaar-diplomaverpleegstudente se persepsies en ervarings van die gebruik van HTS vir die aanleer van verpleegvaardighede te ondersoek. Metodes ’n Kwalitatiewe gevallestudieontwerp is benut om die verskynsel van HTS by Paray Verpleegkundeskool te ondersoek. Sestien deelnemers het aan die verskillende fokusgroepbesprekings deelgeneem in twee groepe van vyf, en een groep van ses deelnemers. Die data is ontleed met die gebruik van die konstante vergelykingsanalise-model. Resultate Studente het gemengde waarnemings, positief en negatief, ervaar, gebaseer op die aard van hul ondervindings wat sowel vervullend as frustrerend was. Hierdie studie het vyf sleuteltemas geopenbaar wat studente se ondervindings, en sodoende hul waarnemings van die gebruik van HTS in opleiding gevorm het. Die temas is outentieke leeromgewing, unieke leergeleenthede, toegang, kontekstuele faktore en oordrag van vaardighede. Bespreking Studentverpleegsters aanvaar die gebruik van HTS om verpleegvaardighede te leer. Hulle glo dat HTS ’n waardevolle leerstrategie is, wat egter beter benut moet word. Studentverpleegsters beskou HTS as ʼn verskaffer van ʼn outentieke leeromgewing wat die aanleer van komplekse vaardighede soos kritiese denke en probleemoplossing toelaat. Aan die ander kant glo hulle dat opleiding verbeter kan word indien HTS meer toeganklik is vir gebruik deur studente en indien toesighouers voldoende opgelei is en studente beter voorgelig word in die gebruik van HTS as opleidingsmiddel. Gevolgtrekkings HTS is ʼn aanvaarbare leerstrategie onder verpleegstudente in omgewings met beperkte hulpbronne, hoewel daar ʼn behoefte is om die benutting daarvan vir beter leerervarings en uitkomstes te verbeter.

Abstract:
Background: Diabetes self-management education, including nutrition education (NE) is an essential component of diabetes management. Effective NE can assist individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in resource limited settings to improve their dietary self-care; an area cited among the most difficult with consequent improvement in health outcomes. Aim: To develop a NE programme that is tailored to the needs of adults with type 2 DM in a resource limited setting and to evaluate the programme's effectiveness on health outcomes. Setting: Makapanstad and Mathibestad community health centres in the Moretele sub-district, North West Province (South Africa). Methods: The study was done in three phases employing mixed methods research. Qualitative methods, using focus group discussions with 31 diabetic patients (a convenience purposive sample), and an open ended self-administered questionnaire with ten health professionals serving them, assessed the NE needs and preferences (phase 1). The data were analysed according to the framework approach. The results from the needs assessment were used to plan a tailored NE programme (phase 2). A randomised controlled trial (quantitative) with a sample of 82 patients (with HbA1c ≥ 8), allocated to either intervention or control groups, evaluated the effect of the NE programme (phase 3). Outcomes [HbA1c, dietary behaviours, blood lipids, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), diabetes knowledge and attitudes towards diabetes and its treatment] were assessed at baseline, six months and 12 months respectively. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) compared the groups on measured outcomes using baseline values, age, gender, and clinic as covariates. Rank ANCOVA was used for dietary intake. The level of significance for all tests was set at α < 0.05 for a two-tailed test. Results: Needs assessment Diabetes related knowledge deficits and inappropriate dietary practices, including food portion control problems, inadequate intake of vegetables and fruits and unbalanced diets, were observed. Eight barriers and two facilitators to dietary adherence were identified. Financial constraint was the major barrier while social support was the major facilitator. NE recommendations included content related to the disease and diet, group education at the clinic, a competent educator, provision of education materials and inclusion of family members. The planned NE programme consisted of eight weekly training sessions and six follow-up sessions (monthly and bi-monthly), vegetable gardening demonstrations and education materials. Nutrition education programme effects: Seventy six participants (38 per group) completed the study. The differences in HbA1c (primary outcome) between the intervention and control groups were -0.62% (p=0.15) at six months and -0.67% (p=0.16) at 12 months. Few participants, four from the intervention group and one from the control group, achieved HbA1c target (<7%) at both six and 12 months, [(p=0.20), (p=0.36)] respectively. There were no significant between group differences in BMI, lipid profile and blood pressure at six months and 12 months. Starchy foods intake (median servings) were significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group, 9.3 vs. 10.8 (p=0.005) at six months and 9.9 vs. 11.9 (p=0.017) at 12 months. The proportion of participants growing own vegetables significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group 17/41 vs. 5/40 (p=0.003) at six months and 16/38 vs. 5/38 at 12 months. No significant group differences in the intake of energy, macronutrients, vegetable and fruits, sodium, cholesterol and fibre were observed at six and 12 months. Diabetes knowledge improved in the intervention group +0.95 (p=0.033) and +2.2 (p=0.000) when compared with the control group at six and 12 months respectively. There were no significant group differences in the attitudes towards diabetes and its treatment. Conclusions: The qualitative needs assessment provided insight for planning a tailored NE programme. The NE improved some dietary behaviours (starchy foods portion control and growing own vegetables) and diabetes knowledge. A non-significant lowering of HbA1c was observed.

Abstract:
Prototyping is an important part of the product development process, especially for the design of the manufacturing systems in small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). Practitioners in resource-constrained settings face unique challenges when prototyping in these contexts. This work examines the methods, constraints, and impacts on design outcome of prototypes in manufacturing SMEs in resource-constrained settings through a case study. Observations and information were gathered through a site visit and interviews with the engineers at the partner organization. One of the important findings of this case study is that the main intent of prototyping is to develop high-fidelity, functional prototypes through simple prototyping, iteration, and the emphasis on physical prototypes. The overarching resource constraints on achieving this prototyping intent were found to be a variance in prototyping inputs, limited access to appropriate manufacturing capabilities, and limitations of modeling predictions.

Abstract:
Neural approaches have achieved state-of-the-art accuracy on machine translation but suffer from the high cost of collecting large scale parallel data. Thus, a lot of research has been conducted for neural machine translation (NMT) with very limited parallel data, i.e., the low-resource setting. In this paper, we provide a survey for low-resource NMT and classify related works into three categories according to the auxiliary data they used: (1) exploiting monolingual data of source and/or target languages, (2) exploiting data from auxiliary languages, and (3) exploiting multi-modal data. We hope that our survey can help researchers to better understand this field and inspire them to design better algorithms, and help industry practitioners to choose appropriate algorithms for their applications.
