Authors: Stiehl Alves Suelen , Valasques Paladine Sheyla , Figueiredo da Silva Laura Helena , Goldberg Rabin Eliane
Published: October 2022

Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na incidência de lesão por pressão em pacientes críticos, bem como descrever as características dessas lesões e o perfil dos pacientes acometidos. Método: trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, realizada conforme as diretrizes PRISMA, pesquisada nas bases de dados  MEDLINE, Scopus, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, EMBASE e Web of Science. Resultados: Dos 339 estudos inicialmente identificados, 10 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e foram analisados. A incidência de lesão por pressão variou de 33% a 80%, com uma mediana de 54% (IQR 43% - 73%). Seis estudos avaliaram a incidência de lesão por pressão exclusivamente em pacientes submetidos a posição prona; nestes estudos a incidência de lesão por pressão variou entre 40% a 77%, mantendo a mediana de 54% (IQR 47% - 72%). A maior parte das lesões documentadas era em estágio II (30% IQR 23%-69%). Em relação ao local da lesão, a maior prevalência é em face/rosto em decorrência do posicionamento prona e na região sacra predominante nos estudos que avaliam a incidência de lesão por pressão no geral. Conclusões: A pandemia de COVID-19 teve impacto substancial na incidência de lesão por pressão em pacientes sob cuidados intensivos, impulsionado pelo influxo abrupto de casos da doença no início da pandemia, o que dificultou a organização das instituições no planejamento das ações de cuidado e prevenção dessa injúria.
Psychophysical Effects on an Interference Pattern in a Double-Slit Optical System
Authors: Radin Dean , Delorme Arnaud
Published: October 2022

Objective: A two-year online experiment tested the hypothesis that focused human attention alternatively directed toward or away from a double-slit optical system would affect the interference pattern in a predictable, unidirectional fashion. A control condition was employed by having a web server periodically simulate a human observer. Method: Based on the results of an independent reanalysis of these data and the outcome of an independent conceptual replication, we revisited the original directional hypothesis to explore the possibility that mind-wandering and other distractions might have caused attention or intention to unpredictably fluctuate. That in turn might have caused the hypothesized psychophysical influence to be more readily detected as a bidirectional effect (i.e., a shift in variance) rather than as unidirectional effect (a shift in mean). To test this idea, we developed a variance-based analysis using data collected during the first year of the experiment and applied it to data from the second year. Results: The first year’s data showed that experimental sessions conducted by humans resulted in significant variance differences as compared to control sessions conducted by a computer, z = 4.16, p = .00002. The same analysis applied to the second year’s data resulted in z = 3.14, p = .0008. Examination of environmental and apparatus variables indicated that those factors were not responsible for the observed changes in variance. Conclusion: The results suggest that a variance analysis may be more sensitive to psychophysical effects in this type of experiment.
A Possible Case of Censorship of Submissions on the Nature of Consciousness
Authors: Weiler Marina , Fernandes Casseb Raphael , Moreira-Almeida Alexander
Published: October 2022

To advance the scientific understanding of consciousness, one should be open to theoretical pluralism to freely develop and rigorously test a wide diversity of paradigm candidates and communicate the ideas and findings to the scientific community. Science development is jeopardized when journals tend to present a field’s state-of-the-art findings in a biased or misguided way or suppress investigations of a particular perspective. We describe the challenges and pitfalls we faced as guest editors during the editorial review process of a special issue of the journal Frontiers on “The Nature of Consciousness” and how we responded to it. We describe and discuss how the journal staff overruled our editorial role to enforce what was very likely academic censorship. We then offer a couple of recommendations to authors and editors that may face similar issues. We believe that following these recommendations will ultimately contribute to practical and theoretical advances in the understanding the nature of consciousness and the mind–brain relation.

Validating the Effects of Disruptive Technologies using Operational Breakeven Theory, Relative Solvency Ratio, and Altman’s Z-score on selected firms in Nigeria and India
Authors: Enyi Enyi P. , Ajibade Ayodeji T.
Published: October 2022

Disruptive technologies (DT) have featured prominently in almost every human activity since the advent of computerization. The likely effects of DT on economic processes and human professions have and continue to generate fears and debates which spurred this investigation. To break away from the traditional approach the operational breakeven theory and the discriminant analysis techniques of Altman’s Z-score, and Enyi’s Relative Solvency Ratio were used to examine the relationship between firms’ market-induced-survival-ratio (MISR) and the disruptive technology gains index (DTGI) of seventy-three firms drawn from Nigeria and India. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data generated. The results showed that a sizeable number of firms has profited from the introduction of disruptive technologies with MISR and DTGI returning a 10% significant relationship while others are still struggling to measure up to the requirements of disruptive technologies in their chosen economic fields. The implication of this is that businesses must brace up and embrace digital transformation if they must stay afloat in this era of disruptive technologies. This study recommends a revolutionary approach to digital transformation in view of the fast pace of global integration while managers and business owners should adopt more pragmatic approach in appraising the operations and finances of a firm for effective results and timely responses to potential business challenges.
Differential expression of GOPC in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of GOPC, encoding golgi-associated PDZ and coiled-coil motif containing, in iPSC-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. GOPC was also differentially expressed in fibroblasts isolated from patients with ALS. GOPC transcript was present at significantly higher levels in ALS patient iPSC-derived motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.
The Factors Affecting Migration Behavior of Workers at Vietnam Garment Enterprise
Authors: Tung Hoang Thanh , Van Anh Nguyen Thi , Hung Hoang Quoc
Published: October 2022

This study is conducted to identify and evaluate the factors affecting the migration behavior of workers in garment enterprises in Vietnam. The subjects selected for the survey are workers who are working at many garment enterprises in some cities and provinces such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Bac Ninh, Nam Dinh, and Binh Phuoc... By conducting a survey to collect opinions from 312 employees and using SPSS statistical software to test the hypotheses; based on SEM linear structural model with 3 groups of factors affecting the intention to migrate to find job workers and consider the impact of the intention to migrate on the decision to migrate off the workers, the research results show that the factors "Behavior"; "Subjective norm" and "Perceived behavioral control" have a positive impact on the intention to migrate of garment workers with the impact level of +0,523; +0.73; +0.439; and the factor "Migration intention of garment workers" has a positive correlation to "Migration behavior of garment workers" with an impact level of +1.0, meaning the variation of intention to migration will lead to a corresponding change of migration behavior. From the testing, analysis, and evaluation of the factors affecting the migration intention and behavior of workers in Vietnamese garment enterprises, the research team has made some exchanges and discussions to attract more employees to the garment industry, contributing to promoting economic growth and creating sustainable jobs for workers.

Enforced Disappearances: A Major Human Rights Issue in Balochistan
Authors: Patel Pinal , Sharma Saurabh
Published: October 2022

Ever since Kalat rulers gave away the rule of their Kalat state comprising Balochistan, in the hands of Pakistan in 1948, the people of Balochistan have been demanding freedom and to declare it as an independent nation. Their demand slowly converted into a violent struggle and separatists resorted to insurgency, commonly known as ‘Baloch Insurgency’. Pakistan too resorted to counter insurgency, commonly known as ‘Pak Counter Insurgency.’ Pakistan adopted enforced disappearances as a major tool to suppress the violent struggle, by forcibly abducting family members of the suspect. The menace of enforced disappearance has now engulfed entire Balochistan province and no day goes without such acts of kidnapping, abduction, sexual assaults, killings and enforced disappearances, at some place or in some area of Balochistan. There is no end to such atrocities and genocide. There are severe violations of the human rights in the province. In the context, enforced disappearances of the people are a major human rights issue in Balochistan.

Authors: Moss David
Published: October 2022

We demonstrate two categories of photonic radiofrequency (RF) filters based on integrated optical micro-combs.The first one is based on the transversal filtering structure andthe second one is based on the channelization technique. Thelarge number of wavelengths brought about by the microcombresults in a significantly increased RF spectral resolution and alarge instantaneous bandwidth for the RF filters. For the RFtransversal filter, we demonstrated Q factor enhancement,improved out-of-band rejection, tunable centre frequency, andreconfigurable filtering shapes. While a high resolution of 117MHz, a large RF instantaneous bandwidth of 4.64 GHz, andprogrammable RF transfer functions including binary-codednotch filters and RF equalizing filters with reconfigurable slopesare demonstrated for the RF channelized filter. The microcombbasedapproaches feature a potentially much smaller cost andfootprint, and is promising for integrated photonic RF filters.

From Cold to Killer: How SARS-CoV-2 Evolved without Hemagglutinin Esterase to Agglutinate and Then Clot Blood Cells
Authors: Scheim David
Published: October 2022

The role of vascular occlusion in the morbidities, pulmonary and systemic, of COVID-19 has received increasing focus. Histological studies of lung tissue from COVID-19 patients have found extensively damaged endothelium of capillaries adjoining relatively intact alveoli, corresponding to hypoxemia accompanying normal breathing mechanics in such patients.Essential to the study of vascular occlusion in COVID-19 are viral properties dating back to studies of Jonas Salk in the 1940s that have been positively established for SARS-CoV-2. First, SARS-CoV-2 binds to red blood cells (RBCs) in vitro and also clinically in COVID-19 patients. Second, although fusion and replication of SARS-CoV-2 occur via ACE2, such hemagglutinating viruses initially attach to infective targets and clump with blood cells via much more abundantly distributed glycoconjugate binding sites, notably those tipped with sialic acid (SA). SARS-CoV-2, in particular, attaches to these glycan binding sites. Third, certain enveloped viruses express an enzyme, hemagglutinin esterase (HE), that counteracts viral-RBC clumping. Notably, among betacoronaviruses, the common cold strains express HE while SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1 and MERS, the virulent strains, do not. The hemagglutinating properties of SARS-COV-2 establish a framework for “catch and clump” induction of microvascular occlusion proposed here. Ultramicroscopic studies of tissues from COVID-19 patients indicate a key role for hemagglutination early and mid-course in COVID-19, before such clumps develop into clots via the coagulation cascade.

Penegakan Hukum Bagi Penyalahgunaan Dan Pengedar Narkotika Pada Mahasiswa
Authors: Maulana Fitria Putri
Published: October 2022

Efek dari penyalahgunaan narkotika bisa menyebabkan keseimbangan elektrolit berkurang. Akibatnya badan kekurangan cairan. Jika efek ini terus terjadi, tubuh akan kejang-kejang, muncul halusinasi, perilaku lebih agresif, dan rasa sesak pada bagian dada. Jangka panjang dari dampak dehidrasi ini dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada otak. Tidak hanya itu saja, dalam dosis berlebih juga bisa menyebabkan muntah, mual, rasa takut yang berlebih, serta gangguan kecemasan. Apabila pemakaian dalam jangka panjang, bisa mengakibatkan dampak yang lebih buruk seperti gangguan mental, depresi, serta kecemasan terus-menerus. Pemakai yang menggunakan obat-obatan tersebut dalam dosis yang berlebih, efeknya justru membuat tubuh terlalu rileks sehingga kesadaran berkurang drastis. Beberapa kasus si pemakai tidur secara terus-menerus dan tidak bangun-bangun. Hilangnya kesadaran tersebut membuat koordinasi tubuh terganggu, sering bingung, dan terjadi perubahan perilaku. Dampak narkoba yang cukup berisiko tinggi adalah hilangnya ingatan sehingga sulit mengenali lingkungan sekitar. Dampak narkoba yang paling buruk terjadi jika si pemakai menggunakan obat-obatan tersebut dalam dosis yang tinggi atau yang dikenal dengan overdosis. Pemakaian sabu-sabu, opium, dan kokain bisa menyebabkan tubuh kejang-kejang dan jika dibiarkan dapat menimbulkan kematian. Inilah akibat fatal yang harus dihadapi jika sampai kecanduan narkotika, nyawa menjadi taruhannya. Bahaya narkoba bukan hanya berdampak buruk bagi kondisi tubuh, penggunaan obat-obatan tersebut juga bisa mempengaruhi kualitas hidup misalnya susah berkonsentrasi saat bekerja, mengalami masalah keuangan, hingga harus berurusan dengan pihak kepolisian jika terbukti melanggar hukum. Pemakaian zat-zat narkotika hanya diperbolehkan untuk kepentingan medis sesuai dengan pengawasan dokter dan juga untuk keperluan penelitian. Selebihnya, obat-obatan tersebut tidak memberikan dampak positif bagi tubuh. Yang ada, kualitas hidup menjadi terganggu, relasi dengan keluarga kacau, kesehatan menurun, dan yang paling buruk adalah menyebabkan kematian. Karena itu, jangan coba-coba memakai barang berbahaya tersebut karena resikonya sangat tinggi bagi hidup dan kesehatan.

Emotional Salience of Positive and Negative Aspects of Cannabis Use in Cannabis Use Disorder: The Development of a Novel Self-referential Processing Task Using the Late Positive Potential
Authors: Schermitzler Brandon , Minieri Jessica , Macatee Richard
Published: October 2022

Background: Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) is increasingly prevalent in the United States, while perceived addiction risk and treatment-seeking are declining. Emotional salience of cannabis-use-related problems and benefits likely contribute to motivation to change, but measurement of this process has been limited. The present study sought to validate a novel assessment of emotional appraisal of self-referential cannabis use-related information across subjective and neurophysiological units of analysis.Method: Non-treatment-seeking individuals with DSM-5 severe CUD (N=42) completed a task that presented auditory self-referential, personalized cannabis-use-related problem and benefit statements, as well as neutral self-referential statements, during electroencephalography recording. The late positive potential (LPP) was used as a neurophysiological measure of emotional salience. Valence/arousal ratings of each statement, along with their motivational importance in sustaining vs. reducing cannabis use, were also obtained. Results: As predicted, valence and arousal ratings significantly differentiated cannabis use-related problems and benefits from neutral statements. Cannabis-use-related benefits were rated as more motivationally important relative to problems at a trend level. Partially consistent with predictions, the LPP to cannabis-use-related benefits was significantly larger than LPPs to cannabis-use-related problems and neutral statements, which did not differ from each other. Bonferroni-adjusted exploratory correlations revealed that the LPP to cannabis-use-related problems was sensitive to recent cannabis use and change attempts. Conclusion: These results provide some support for the validity of this novel multi-method assessment of emotional reactivity to personalized cannabis-use-related self-referential information in non-treatment-seeking individuals with severe CUD. The dissociation between subjective and neurophysiological reactivity to self-referential cannabis-related problem statements should be further explored.

Getting Ready for the Future, is it Worth it? A Dual Pathway Model of Age and Technology Acceptance at Work
Authors: Fasbender Ulrike , Gerpott Fabiola H. , Rinker Laura
Published: October 2022

Rapid technological advancements and global workforce aging shape the future of work. Drawing on the technology acceptance model, our study aims to connect the literature on aging with the research on technology use in organizations. At its heart, the technology acceptance model suggests that the two core components perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use predict the attitude toward a new technology. We connect these components with two age-related processes: first, we suggest a motivational pathway via future time perspective, including one’s perceived future opportunities and remaining time at work. Second, we propose a capability pathway via cognitive constraints, including one’s perceived struggle to process new information (i.e., perceived processing speed difficulties) and the perceived struggle to organize one’s work (i.e., perceived organization difficulties). Moreover, we explore digital leadership as a potential buffer to the detrimental relations between age and technology acceptance. We pre-registered our hypotheses and tested them using three-wave data of 643 employees. Our findings support our hypotheses for the motivational pathway, showing that age is negatively linked to attitude toward new technology via future time perspective and subsequent perceived usefulness as well as perceived ease of use. Digital leadership buffered the negative indirect relations between age and attitude toward new technology. For the capability pathway, the results were opposite to what we expected. Together, our findings put the link between age and technology acceptance into a more positive light than previous research and suggest that motivational and capability-related forces are interwoven in predicting attitude toward new technology.
First exploration of the prediction-comprehension bias
Authors: Grüning David Joachim , Mata André Otelo Paraíba , Fiedler Klaus
Published: October 2022

We propose that individuals incorrectly interpret their accuracy in predicting an event as an indication that they understand the event's underlying mechanism or process. We term this illusion prediction-comprehension bias (PCB) and conceptually locate it within the frameworks of attribute substitution and reverse inference logic. In a set of five studies (N = 704), we demonstrate this bias and identify three psychological factors that produce it. We manipulate the feedback participants receive about their prediction accuracy (Experiments 1-2), the consistency with which a cause and its effect are presented together (Experiment 3), and the fluency of an observation by the number of times it is repeated (Experiments 4-5). The experimental manipulation of all three factors replicates the PCB conceptually. In Experiment 5, we show a direct replication of PCB and inspect the bias’s mechanism further: We find that respondents use the perceived validity of inferring prediction from comprehension (a sound inference) as an indicator for when to draw the reverse inference (i.e., inferring comprehension from prediction) that underlies the PCB. We discuss the practical implications of this novel bias and its connection to existing illusions of comprehension like the illusory truth effect or the illusion of explanatory depth.
How to assess and take into account trend in single-case experimental design data
Authors: Manolov Rumen , Lebrault Hélène , Krasny-Pacini Agata
Published: October 2022

One of the data features that are expected to be assessed when analyzing single-case experimental designs (SCED) data is trend. The current text deals with four different questions that applied researchers can ask themselves when assessing trend, under the premise that there is not a single correct answer to each of these questions. First, there are multiple ways in which even linear trend can be operatively defined. Second, different criteria can be followed when deciding whether the trend observed needs to be taken into account when assessing intervention effectiveness or, in contrast, its magnitude is sufficiently small to be considered inconsequential. If a decision is made to take trend into account, there are different ways in which this can be done. Finally, a challenge arises when there is a trend for some of the comparisons between conditions, but not for others. Several options are reviewed for each of these questions in the context of real data, and tentative recommendations are provided. A new user-friendly website is developed to implement the options for fitting a trend line and a criterion for selecting a specific technique for that purpose. Trend-related and more general data analytical recommendations are provided for applied researchers.
Application of Trisootra Principles in the Management of Acute Food Allergy - A Case Report
Authors: Savalagimath Mahesh P , M Ajith Krishnan , Pol Neha K , Hiremath Veenashree C
Published: October 2022

Food allergies are thought to affect up to 4% of adults and 8% of children under the age of five. Although there is no treatment, some kids outgrow their food allergies as they age. Foods can be contaminated by a wide range of diseasecausing microbes, leading to a wide range of foodborne illnesses (also known as foodborne sickness or food poisoning) and food allergies. An immune system response called a food allergy happens quickly after consuming a certain meal. Even a small amount of the food that causes the allergy can result in signs and symptoms like skin issues, hives, or enlarged airways. Some people may experience severe symptoms from a food allergy, including the potentially fatal anaphylactic reaction. In Ayurveda , rules for intake of food, preparation and sign and symptoms of visha misritha anna and their treatments are well explained. Proper history taking is an essential method in all these cases.

Introduction: In surgery, pre-operatively anxiolytic drugs and analgesics are very essential for major or minor surgical procedures to better operative and post-operative outcomes. The Vedanasthapana mahakashaya, described by the Acharya Charaka, is a group of 10 herbs and those herbs are advocated as analgesic, and anxiolytic polyherbal composition by various text books of ayurveda. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of the Vedanasthapana mahakashaya as an analgesic drug during post operative period and as an anxiolytic drug for pre operative anxiety. Metarials & Methods: The study was a prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled trial. 80 patients of anorectal diseases who undergone for surgical intervention were randomly allocated in one of two groups. Group-1 received Vedanasthapana mahakashaya kwath (Decoction), 30ml orally in preoperative and postoperative period while group-2 was treated with Tab. Alprazolam 0.25mg pre-operatively and Tab. Paracetamol 500 mg postoperatively. Anxiety was assessed on the basis of Anxiety score of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) preoperatively and analgesia was assessed postoperatively by internationally validated Visual Analogue Scale. Inj. Diclofenac sodium 75mg IM was administered as a rescue analgesic. Results: Pain-baseline pain scores were not statistically differed in both groups. Both the groups showed statistically significant reduction in pain at the end of trial period. Both were found to be significantly similar (P 0.4856) but group-1 showed more reduction in pain 84.72% (P<0.0001) than the group-2 which have 80.08% reduction in VAS score (P<0.0001) Anxiety- The values of both the groups were showing statistically significant difference at different observational intervals but the reduction was significantly higher in group-2 (P<0.0158). Conclusion: Administration of the Vedanasthapana mahakashaya decoction is effective for post operative pain relief but less effective for preoperative anxiety.

Mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 spikes protein leads to the appearance of novel variants with modified form that appear to be more transmissible and can escape immunity generated by the vaccine. Continuous mutation in SARC COV and the emergence of more competent variants have sparked alarm for the alternative way to strengthen the immunity and fight corona sustainably. Natural products have been investigated in the last decades to develop novel candidates for drug research. Medicinal plants are considered helpful for preventing and treating several diseases and COVID-19 patients. Thus, this review presents the Indian medicinal plant and its promising active ingredients that exhibit inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2. The present paper also reviewed the AYUSH recommended formulations and their ingredients routinely used by the Indian population and covid positive patients.
Exploring student and demonstrator perspectives of the teaching and learning provided by demonstrators during undergraduate laboratory practical sessions

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) such as demonstrators are integral to higher education teaching. However, undergraduate student perceptions on the impact of demonstrators to their teaching and learning is understudied. Similarly, demonstrator perceptions on the quality and value of their teaching also remains largely unexplored. We addressed both students’ and demonstrators’ perceptions of demonstrator teaching and learning within undergraduate Biology practical sessions at a UK research intensive university. We combine quantitative and qualitative data to explore students’ ideas around where their learning and feedback comes from, and the effectiveness of demonstrators during their practical sessions. This was paired with analogous data from demonstrators derived from the same concepts, thereby helping to assess their dynamic. Most students considered demonstrators to be important for teaching and learning in the laboratory setting by delivering high quality pedagogy, creating a positive learning environment and by being their primary source of feedback. Conversely, a small number of students raised issues regarding demonstrator consistency and lack of knowledge when compared with a lecturer. Students largely considered demonstrators to have sufficient knowledge and to be more approachable than lecturers. Demonstrators also recognised their valuable contribution to teaching and learning and largely mirrored the ideas undergraduate students had about effective demonstrators. Many demonstrators believe they need to be allocated more paid time to fully prepare for teaching and maximise their potential. Finally, we reflect on lessons learnt from both students and demonstrators regarding how demonstrators can improve their teaching and how universities can support this.
Learning Management System in Higher Education

Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is broadly used in the United Kingdom Higher Education environment and the rest of the world owing to its feature of being user-friendly as a learning management system (LMS). Since the pandemic, the pivotal role of Moodle is strengthened to facilitate virtual learning during the lockdown and enhance hybrid learning with face-to-face teaching gradually coming back. During the routine tutorials, some students reported their difficulties and concerns about Moodle, such as digital literacy, information density, and feedback. In this reflection, three postgraduate researchers who work as teaching assistants in Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), reflect on the Moodle designing experience. We discuss various manoeuvres like adjusting the structure, using virtual badges to engage students, compressing content, and updating synchronous and asynchronous learning materials to enable students to learn more efficiently. The module design is optimised based on the module nature, learning objectives, expected learning outcomes, and students' learning needs in the hybrid learning environment. With the students' feedback and previous learning experience, suggestions are proposed to contribute to the best practices in Moodle design to improve Postgraduate Taught Students’ learning experience in Higher Education.

In this article, I reflect on a semester of coaching handball at the University of Warwick. Discussions revolve around creating a training session plan, delivering a training session, and coaching participants with differing goals. I hope to introduce developmental sports coaching in the context of university societies to an academic audience and showcase an alternative pathway to teaching for the PGR community.
Importance of Community Awareness and Preparedness in Disaster Risk Reduction
Authors: Bali Renu
Published: October 2022

In the last 20-year period from 2000 to 2019, 7348 disaster events were reported worldwide which claimed 12mn lives and affected more than 4.03 billion people. Asia suffered the highest number of disaster events due to size of the continents, its physiography and high density of population. In terms of affected countries globally India with 321 events was third highest in terms of economic losses and loss of lives (UNDRR, 2021)

It has been proved that countries where the communities are aware and participate in DRR activities the losses due to disaster events are low. Developing countries like India where the resources are limited communities can play very important role in DRR. If communities are involved in DRR it will not only help in reducing the burden on Government and local administration but also help communities to be self-reliant in emergency situation.

As communities are the first responders in every disaster event it is very important to build and improve their capacities so that they can respond efficiently in event of occurrence of disaster. The scale and spread of recent COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated and proved that catastrophes which occur at this large scale cannot be handled efficiently only by Government agencies and local administration. Participation of communities whether it is RWA’s, religious groups, local political parties, philanthropist, charitable and social organisations or group of individuals are important pillars and support to handle the catastrophes by providing help and relief to the victims. Therefore, it is important to build capacities of people by creating awareness and imparting them skill and training for relief and rescue operations to manage the disasters. These skill improvement and trainings will improve the preparedness level of population to face disasters. Involvement of communities also lead to understanding of disasters and traditional coping mechanisms, their understanding of local disasters can be very effective in emergency situation. Communities understand their areas better, they know their strengths and they have indigenous methods to cope with emergencies. Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction is popular and successful approach in many developed and developing countries. Capacity building is important for communities to become resilient to disaster.
