Abstract Introduction The coronavirus disease pandemic has placed enormous strain on all medical services with ICU capabilities throughout the Northeast region. The surge in ICU beds might severely limit burn centers to accept burn patients in a regional mass casualty incident. Methods Burn bed data was collected by a regional burn disaster consortium. Open burn bed census was collected via telephone from each burn center in the consortium on April 15th, May 7th, May 21st, June 4th and June 18th of 2020. This data was compared to published data from 2009 to 2016. Results The results are listed in Table 1. Lowest available burn bed was 35 beds on April 15th, 2020. Conclusions Although a disaster may impact surrounding local and state hospitals, it does not always impact a burn center’s ability to transfer patients from a local trauma center or nearby burn center. A pandemic however affects a larger region and impacts all hospitals within that region. Peak ICU utilization in the Northeast was between the second and third week of April. During the peak utilization time, burn bed census was about 50% of the historical average. Burn bed census did not return to historical average until May 7, 2020. If a mass casualty event occurred in the pandemic region, the Northeast region would have to reach out to other ABA designated regions for assistance. Historically, burn mass casualty plans are based on the capacity to move burn patients to other burn centers in order to relieve surge capacity at the affected center. This data illustrates that, in a pandemic, burn beds are being utilized for non-burn patients. The ability to follow these plans will be greatly impacted.

Abstract The paper analyzes crisis situations solved by The Fire Rescue Service of the South Moravian Region (FRS) in the city of Brno during 24 weeks between 7th April 2013 and 20th September 2013. The article deals briefly with all FRS actions and then focuses on fires. The open-access database of FRS is used for analysis. It is accessed from a database of the innovative web application StreetAlert, which allows users to learn about current fire brigade actions in the specified distance from the mobile phone. The data are processed in PostgreSQL and then spatial analysis is performed using the most detailed administrative division of the city – basic settlement units. As this division of urban space is used also in the most recent Czech census (2011), it is possible to use sociodemographic statistical data for comparison. The article identifies spatial regularities in the distribution of fires, describes the structure of the fires in terms of the type of event (fires of waste, fires of grass and forest, fires of buildings), discovers their possible dependence on the specific characteristics of urban space, finds potentially dangerous places (kernel density analysis), draws valid conclusions applicable to similar settlements, and shows the possible use of the data for local government. The main benefit of the research lies in revealing the spatial distribution of the examined phenomena.

Introduction: The most common type of endocrine malignancy is thyroid cancer (TC). TC is the 7th, 14th, and 11th most common cancer in women, men, and both sexes, respectively. Objectives: The aim of this research was to establish the frequency of benign and malignant tumors in thyroid surgery specimens performed in Al-Zahra hospital in Isfahan from 2011 to 2017. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study. 1345 patients who underwent thyroid surgery were enrolled using census sampling. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (IBM statistics for windows, version 16) using descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, frequency, chi-square, and ANOVA. A significance level of less than 0.05 was analyzed. Results: Of 1345 participants, 237 (17.6%) were males, and 1108 (82.4%) were females. The mean age of benign patients was 46.48, malignant 39.31, and healthy patients for 37.50 years. Since the level of significance is less than 0.05, there is a significant relationship between the mean age of patients and the frequency of thyroid surgery specimens. The most prevalent benign and malignant thyroid tumors were goiter (76.8%) and papillary carcinoma (92.6%), respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age, gender, and benign and malignant type. Also, the most prevalent benign and malignant thyroid tumors were goiter and papillary, respectively.

Background: The sexual medicine education in medical faculties has been a challenging issue worldwide in recent decades. Most of medical students are dissatisfied for their sexual health education which indicates an emergent need for curriculum revision. The nobility of the study was to reveal medical students' competency gaps on sexual medicine.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a large, public medical school, topped the national ranking for its excellence in education. The target population was medical interns in their 6th and 7th year of their course. With a census sampling approach, all eligible students were included. To develop the questionnaire, the framework of ESSM (European Society for Sexual Medicine) syllabus of sexual medicine 2012 was employed after being examined by an expert panel to meet the criteria of content coverage. Recruiting 10 participants, a pilot was conducted to assess the criterions of validity and reliability. Finally a 35 item questionnaire was developed including three domains; "male sexual problems", "female sexual problems" and "common to both sexes sexual problems” with 17, 9, and 9 items, respectively. Students were asked to answer each item in a five-level Likert scale. The total score was standardized to convert scores to a range of 0-100 making it easy to interpret. In addition, a single question on the general competency was asked. Analytical statistics were used appropriate to data type and distribution (t test, one-way ANOVA). Study protocol was approved by research executive and ethics board of the institution.Results: 152 of 260 eligible students participated, with mean age of 25.0 (SD=2.3), of whom 54% were females. The standardized total competency score was 22.3 (95% CI: 20.4-24.2). Regarding to not only total but also different domains scores, there was no significant difference in different grades (PV>0.05). The female students' competency was significantly higher in the domain of "female sexual problems" and "common sexual problems, but not in the domain of "male sexual problems". None of the interns believed that they are competent enough to manage patients with sexual problems by themselves.Conclusions: We magnificently attained that medical students' clinical competency on sexual medicine is poor. Medical education system of Iran would not be able to deal with this challenge unless it provides with a comprehensive curriculum revision.

The author analyzes the history of the unique mountain-shaped ancient ritual vessels – Boshanlu (博山爐) censers, known in China since the Western Han era (202 BC – 8 AD), based on research obtained through written, archaeological and museum sources, as well as material from the author’s field research in East Asia. The mountain-shaped censer openly embodies symbols of Taoist interpretations of the holy 仙 xian and the search for immortality. Subsequently, once the incense burners began to incorporate Buddhist symbols, they gained great importance in Buddhist ritual practices. The design of these vessels gradually transformed under the influence of Buddhism, as Taoist symbols were phased out in favor of various Buddhist attributes. These incense burners became an integral decorative element of the Buddhist altar (alongside flower vases and candlesticks). Having ceased its time of mass use in the post-Han years, Boshanlu censer have not completely disappeared. Their memory has survived among burial imagery, cave and stone bas-reliefs and Buddhist-themed sculptural compositions. The article provides the research of the most prominent issues of the Southern Liang, Northern Qi and Sui dynasties’ cultural heritage (second half of the 6th century) and shows their influence on the Boshanlu censers’ exterior and similarities of the latter with the gilt-bronze Baekje (百済金銅大香爐) incense burner. After a profound analysis, taking into account latest research, the symbolism which encompassed Baekje incense burners (at the turn of the 6–7th centuries) has been found to contain common features with the Chinese mountain-shaped censers, characterized by elements that allow this vessel to be classified as a unique item, symbolically reflecting an entire complex of various religious and philosophical representations, including Taoist-Buddhist concepts, local cults and local versions of palace ceremonies and everyday practices of the people of the state of Baekje.

In India, assembly constituencies (ACs), represented by elected officials, are the primary geopolitical units for state-level policy development. However, data on social indicators are traditionally reported and analyzed at the district level, and are rarely available for ACs. Here, we combine village-level data from the 2011 Indian Census and AC shapefiles to systematically derive AC-level estimates for the first time. We apply this methodology to describe the distribution of 11 education infrastructures—ranging from pre-primary school to senior secondary school—across rural villages in 3773 ACs. We found high variability in access to higher education infrastructures and low variability in access to lower education variables. For 40.3% (25th percentile) to 79.7% (75th percentile) of villages in an AC, the nearest government senior secondary school was >5 km away, whereas the nearest government primary school was >5 km away in just 0% (25th percentile) to 1.9% (75th percentile) of villages in an AC. The states of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and Bihar showed the greatest within-state variation in access to education infrastructures. We present a novel analysis of access to education infrastructure to inform AC-level policy, and demonstrate how geospatial and Census data can be leveraged to derive AC-level estimates for any population health and development indicators collected in the Census at the village level.

Abstract Background Physicians may spend a significant amount of time using the electronic health record (EHR), but this is understudied in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The objective of this study is to quantify PICU attending physician EHR usage and determine its association with patient census and mortality scores. Methods During the year 2016, total EHR, chart review, and documentation times of 7 PICU physicians were collected retrospectively utilizing an EHR-embedded time tracking software package. We examined associations between documentation times and patient census and maximum admission mortality scores. Odds ratios (ORs) are reported per 1-unit increase in patient census and mortality scores. Results Overall, total daily EHR usage time (median time [hh:mm] [25th, 75th percentile]) was 2:10 (1:31, 3:08). For all hours (8 a.m.–8 a.m.), no strong association was noted between total EHR time, chart review, and documentation times and patient census, Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2), or Pediatric Risk of Mortality 3 (PRISM3) scores. For regular hours (8 a.m.–7 p.m.), no strong association was noted between total EHR, chart review, and documentation times and patient census, PIM2, or PRISM3 scores. When patient census was higher, the odds of EHR after-hour usage (7 p.m.–8 a.m.) was higher (OR 1.262 [1.135, 1.403], p < 0.0001), but there were no increased odds with PIM2 (OR 1.090 [0.956, 1.242], p = 0.20) and PRISM3 (OR 1.010 [0.984, 1.036], p = 0.47) scores. A subset of physicians spent less time performing EHR-related tasks when patient census and admission mortality scores were elevated. Conclusion We performed a novel evaluation of physician EHR workflow in our PICU. Our pediatric critical care physicians spend approximately 2 hours (out of an expected 10-hour shift) each service day using the EHR, but there was no strong or consistent association between EHR usage and patient census or mortality scores. Future larger scale studies are needed to ensure validity of these results.

A bronze censer found in the Church of Brick Pillars in Old Dongola in 1968 provides unique insight into the role of such liturgical vessels in medieval Nubia. In this new study of the iconography and production technique of this vessel, coupled with an epigraphical analysis of the Greek and Old Nubian inscription around the edge, the author suggests that the vessel was crafted by Makurian craftsmen sometime in the first few hundred years after the conversion of the Nubian kingdoms to Christianity (in the 6th or 7th century AD). Seeking sources of inspiration for the Dongolan masters of the metal-working craft, the author looks to the Byzantine Empire, where close parallels for the decoration of the Nubian censer can be found in late antique silver objects. This leads to a discussion of trade relations between the Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Makuria, and the possible exchange of official gifts.

A costa Norte Potiguar possui, desde o período colonial, notório destaque na produção salineira, dadas as condições favoráveis à extração do sal marinho (ANDRADE, 1995; COSTA, 2013; DINIZ, 2013). Entretanto a produção não conseguia atender sequer o mercado interno, situação modificada com a mecanização salineira implantada a partir da década de 1960, realizada com notória participação do grande capital internacional associado ao financiamento do estado brasileiro. E este processo de mecanização ocasionou drásticas mudanças em Macau, situada a 175 km de Natal, capital do Rio Grande do Norte, ampliando o desemprego, gerando atitudes como acidentes de trabalho propositais (COSTA, 1991), para obter indenizações ou aposentadorias. Assim, o presente artigo objetivou discutir as consequências advindas da mecanização das salinas ocorrida em Macau/RN, a partir da década de 1970 até os anos 2000, como a ampliação do processo migratório a partir da escassez de postos de trabalho advindo do processo mecanizador das salinas, o qual tornou Macau decadente no contexto urbano potiguar, fundamentando este raciocínio em questões conceituais envolvendo a problemática analisada, como a expansão do capital na produção salineira e o decréscimo da população Macauense no período 1970-2000, recorrendo a levantamento de dados primários e secundários, que serviram para melhor explicar a realidade estudada. Em 1970, segundo o Censo Demográfico do IBGE - Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, a população macauense totalizava 25.800 habitantes, correspondendo à 7ª. maior população do Rio Grande do Norte. Já no censo demográfico de 1980, a população era de 24.078 habitantes, reduzida, portanto, se comparado a 1970. Em 1991, há retomada do crescimento, com a população totalizando 25.985 habitantes. Mas, no censo demográfico de 2000, a população sofre novo decréscimo, totalizando 25.700 habitantes, tornando Macau apenas a 16º maior cidade potiguar em número de habitantes. E neste processo de decréscimo populacional, destaca-se, no auge da crise, nos anos 1980, o fato de organismos relevantes, como a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, reduziu suas atividades com a estagnação do crescimento da população e a redução da demanda por cursos de graduação. Desta forma, concluiu-se que Macau não ofereceu alternativas concretas de ascensão e crescimento efetivo em diferentes esferas para essa população desempregada, não atenuando conflitos sociais gerados a partir da modernização tecnológica do parque salineiro, gerando, assim, o quadro de decréscimo populacional no período de 1970 a 2000.Palavras-Chave: Mecanização salineira. Decréscimo Populacional. Macau. ABSTRACTThe North Potiguar coast has, since the colonial period, been well-known in saline production, given the favorable conditions for the extraction of sea salt (ANDRADE, 1995; COSTA, 2013; DINIZ, 2013). However, production was not able to meet even the domestic market, a situation modified with saline mechanization implemented since the 1960s, with a notable participation of large international capital associated with the financing of the Brazilian state. And this process of mechanization led to drastic changes in Macau, located 175 km from Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte, increasing unemployment, generating attitudes such as deliberate work accidents (COSTA, 1991), to obtain indemnities or pensions. Thus, this article aimed to discuss the consequences of the mechanization of salinas in Macau / RN, from the 1970s to the 2000s, as the expansion of the migration process due to the shortage of jobs resulting from the mechanization process of which made Macau decadent in the Potiguar urban context. This rationale was based on conceptual issues, such as the expansion of capital in saline production and the decline of Macau population in the period 1970-2000, using primary and secondary data. which served to better explain the reality studied. In 1970, according to the Demographic Census of IBGE - Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, the Macau population had 25,800 inhabitants, corresponding to the 7th largest population of Rio Grande do Norte. In the demographic census of 1980, the population was 24,078 inhabitants, thus reduced compared to 1970. In 1991, there was a resumption of growth, with the population totaling 25,985 inhabitants. However, in the 2000 population census, the population declined further, totaling 25,700 inhabitants, making Macau the only 16th largest city in terms of population. And in this process of population decline, at the height of the crisis, in the 1980s, the fact that relevant organisms, such as the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, reduced its activity with the stagnation of population growth and the reduction of demand for undergraduate courses. Thus, it was concluded that Macau did not offer concrete alternatives for survival for this unemployed population and did not attenuate the social conflicts generated by the technological modernization of the saline park, thus generating the population decline in the period from 1970 to 2000.Keywords: Saline mechanization; Population Decrease; Macau.

Introduction: Emergency Department (ED) crowding is a pervasive problem and is associated with adverse patient outcomes. Yet, there are no widely accepted, universal ED crowding metrics. The objective of this study is to identify ED crowding metrics with the strongest association to the risk of ED revisits within 72 hours, which is a patient-oriented adverse outcome. Methods: Crowding metrics, patient characteristics and outcomes were obtained from administrative data for all ED encounters from 2011-2014 for three adult EDs in Calgary, AB. The data were randomly divided into three partitions for cross-validation, and further divided by CTAS category 1, 2/3 and 4/5. Twenty unique ED crowding metrics were calculated and assigned to each patient seen on each calendar day or shift, to standardize the exposure. Logistic regression models were fitted with 72h ED revisit as the dependent variable, and an individual crowding metric along with a common list of confounders as independent variables. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) for the 72h return visits were obtained for each crowding metric. The strength of associations between 72h revisits and crowding metrics were compared using Akaike's Information Criterion and Akaike weights. Results: This analysis is based on 1,149,939 ED encounters. Across all CTAS groups, INPUT metrics (ED census, ED occupancy, waiting time, EMS offload delay, LWBS%) were only weakly associated with the risk of 72h re-visit. Among THROUGHPUT metrics, ED Length of Stay and MD Care Time had similar adjusted ORs for 72h ED re-visit (range 0.99-1.15). Akaike weights ranging from 0.3/1.00 to 0.4/1.00 indicate that both THROUGHPUT metrics are reasonable predictors of 72h ED re-visits. All OUTPUT metrics (boarding time, # of boarded patients, % of beds occupied by boarded patients, hospital occupancy) had statistically significant ORs for 72h ED re-visits. The median boarding time had the highest adjusted OR for 72h ED re-visit (adjusted OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.33-1.47) and highest Akaike weight (0.97/1.00) compared to all other OUTPUT metrics, indicating that median boarding time had the strongest association with 72h re-visits. Conclusion: ED THROUGHPUT and OUTPUT metrics had consistent associations with 72h ED re-visits, while INPUT metrics had little to no association with 72h re-visits. Median boarding time is the strongest predictor of 72h re-visits, indicating that this may be the most meaningful measure of ED crowding.

The Federal Constitution of 1988 has in its body the so-called second dimension rights that aim to guarantee the dignity of the human person. However, when it comes to the homeless population, the reach of these rights, in practice, is distant or non-existent. The absence of official census data hinders the action of the State in the elaboration of effective public policies aimed at solving the various problems faced by individuals living on the streets, without guaranteeing the existential minimum. Given this scenario, the objective is to investigate the development, elaboration and implementation of public policies in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes for the homeless population, which aim to protect the minimum set of rights to have a decent life, reaffirming the importance existing policies or indicating the need for reformulation or the adoption of other measures that guarantee the minimum foreseen in the constitutional text.To achieve the objectives proposed in this research, the methodological procedures will start from a bibliographic, longitudinal, descriptive survey; legislative and jurisprudential analysis on the subject, in addition to a qualitative and quantitative approach, through the collection of primary and secondary data at the Human Development Department and Centro Pop, drawing up a profile of the homeless population in the studied municipality. The aim of this research is to systematize the theoretical framework and the actions of the State through laws, projects, decrees, ordinances on the homeless population and the implementation of public policies as a way to guarantee the existential minimum; proposition of viable solutions at the municipal level for the implementation of effective public policies for the multi-cited population, and elaboration of an article bringing together the results achieved by the studies carried out during the project.

This research is inspired by the work developed by Sancho Gil E Hernández, Hernández (2016) in “Teachers in Uncertainty: learning teaching in today's world”, but differs substantially considering the context of structural change in the Teaching System and the sociological, psychological and philosophical coordinates of those involved. Its general objective is to understand the process of change of teachers (in the pandemic period –from March 2020 to March 2021), to reinvent themselves and become creative and technologically competent teachers to respond to the needs of children in remote education.This is a qualitative, exploratory, constructivist ethnographic research to be writtenwith data collected in the field sinceMarch 2020. Instruments such as participant observation, document analysis, individual and focus group interviews will be used.The subjects are eight Kindergarten and eight first year Elementary School teachers from Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora Educational Center -CENSA, Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ. It is hoped that the testimony and theirnew pedagogical practices are able toinspire other teachers to take a “new attitude towards” their students, even in the context of a pandemic

The intersection between Neuropsychology and Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy in several cases has been shown to be beneficial, improving the quality and speed of treatments due to the greater understanding and resources that the two areas together make possible. This project proposes to know, evaluate and understand the implications involving the human being with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as well as their parents/guardians, in an attempt to improve the quality of life of the subjects involved in this context from awareness of cognitive and behavioral processes. This study is promoted by the Laboratory of Studies in Stigmatization Processes (LEPE) of the Psychology course at CENSA Higher Education Institutes -ISECENSA and presents as a general objective of thisproject to evaluate the importance of Neuropsychology for the psychotherapeutic process of old children in cases of Attention Deficit HyperactivityDisorder (ADHD).The methodology used in the research will be of a qualitative nature. At first, a Literature Review will be carried out to support the researchers views on the topic with the following descriptors: Psychology,Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Cognitive-behavioral Psychotherapy.Afterwards, field research will use the semi-structured interview technique and the application of the ETDAH-PAIS scale. Such instruments will be appliedto ten subjects, parents or guardians of children who have ADHD traits.This research is expected to contribute to the promotion of a better quality of life for subjects with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as for their families. It also intended, at the end of the research, to publish the results collected and analyzed in Revista Perspectivas on line

Current studies have demonstrated the significant contributions that spirituality offers to the mental health of people in oncological treatment. This study, promoted by the Núcleo de PesquisaMultidisciplinar em Cultura, Fé e Razão (NUCFER) of the Pastoral Universitária dos Institutos Superiores de Ensino do CENSA –ISECENSA in partnership with the Psychology course of ISECENSA, has the purpose of identifying, analyzing and understanding the conceptions of oncologic patients, family members and health professionals about the meaning and influence between spirituality and mental health in Oncology. Thus, the general objective of this study is to understand the meaning of spirituality for oncologic patients during their treatment and how it can contribute to the patient, family and health professionals. The research will be qualitative, and at first a Literature Review will be carried out to expand the researchers' knowledge with updates on the proposed theme. For this, scientific articles published in the last 10 (ten) years on the subject will be surveyed, with the following descriptors: psychology, spirituality, health, cancer. Afterwards, a field research will be carried out, using a questionnaire with semi-structured questions. It is intended to apply the questionnaire to 15 (fifteen) people, 5 (five) with relatives of patients undergoing cancer treatment or who have undergone treatment; 5 (five) with health professionals and 5 (five) with people who are undergoing cancer treatment or who have undergone treatment. It is expected to promote quality of life for oncologic patients through psychology and spirituality and, at the end of the research, publish a scientific article in the Revista Perspectivas Online
