Aiming to update the economic, demographic, and social characteristics and housing conditions of the population, Morocco conducted its last General Population and Housing Census (GPHC) in 2014. Accurate data on age is a key element for decision making, and necessary to build policies and improve health indicators. The main objective of this paper is to assess the quality of age reporting in the 2014 Morocco census. We found that grouped age data was of poor quality in two regions. More attention should be paid to improving data quality in those regions in the coming census, especially among men.
Professional hazards, particularly psychosocial risks that are likely to affect teachers' physical and mental health, are a particular concern in the education sector. It is in this context that this research work lies to evaluate the psychosocial risks encountered by secondary school mathematics teachers in Safi city (Morocco). Indeed, it is a cross-sectional descriptive study based on a questionnaire that compiled socio-demographic and professional data as well as the psychometric variables of the French version of the KARASEK questionnaire. The latter has three components, namely psychological demand (PD), decision latitude (DL), and social support (SS).
The sample consisted of 218 teachers, ranging from 22 to 61 years old, and the participation rate was 72.66%. The sex ratio was 1.5, out of which 61% were males surpassing that of women, 39%. The prevalence of stress risk variables was 98%, 79%, and 4% for high PD, low DL, and low SS, respectively. While Isostrain prevalence was detected only in 2% of instances, job strain was present in 77% of them.
It is trusty to mention that men are proven to be more exposed to the lack of social support, “Job-strain” and isostrain than women. Indeed, they experience stress at work, thus demonstrating that psychosocial risks are significant occupational exposure for teachers. These results promote the development of prevention means to improve working conditions and protect the teachers’ well-being.
Abstract:In a previous study, we suggested an information system to store, manage and treat millions of gathered patient's information. The application is able to fulfill the most important criterions, mainly measurement, monitoring, guidance, Data management and their analysis. The developed e-Health system can be accessed via the Internet. Availability, confidentiality and security issues arise that have to be considered carefully. The highest level of availability of these services is required. The main objective of this paper is to improve and enhance the both aspects of an information system: availability and reliability. The information system should be reachable constantly to satisfy the professional requirements. Today, the new technologies could help to resolve some infrastructure and connection problems. Connected machines are increasingly being introduced into safety-critical health care systems. Concretely in this study, we introduced replication, backup and restoration procedures to obtain a safe and continuous data management system in order to guarantee a highly reliable concept. By integrating the new technologies, we profited from the innovative connection utility-Internet of things -, which offers several possibilities to ensure the continued and desirable service. By implementing a distributed information system, we were able to increase the percentage of uptime to 99.8% (down time less than 20 mins/week). The vulnerability and the penetration tests were also successful and demonstrate the efficiency of the implemented redundancy, replication and restoration procedures.
