Linguistic Means for Expressing Emotions in a Literary Text
Authors: Sarajishvili Nino , Kuparadze Giorgi
Published: November 2021

A description of semantics is the means of expressing emotions that can be used in any literary work. We investigate and analyze the text, conduct the research of its lexical and semantic units from different dimensions.In the present paper, we deal with a complete description of the inner world of the characters in a literary work, their spiritual or emotional state of mind through the linguistic means that are used by the authors to fully display the personal images of the main characters and to perceive them thoroughly by the reader.The conducted analysis has shown that through the structural-semantic dynamics and pragmatic analysis and particular emphasis is made on the practical aspect of what type of information is realised by the addresser (character) while expressing this or that kind of emotion and how the recipient perceives this information based on the protagonist’s behaviour in a given particular case.We have foregrounded structural-semantic models of basic emotions and linguistic means containing emotions. The study of the pragmatic potential of the expression of emotions is indeed valuable for the pragmatics of a literary text, for the scrupulous understanding of various nations’ history, which inevitably reflects and will reflect in future the wide range of tasks of modern linguistics.Finally, we should also conclude that emotional load/coloring in a literary text can be represent better and perceive a characters’ cultural speech, which implies the correctness and exactness of the characters' use of the means of expressing emotions during the interaction.
ПРОБЛЕМА ВПЛИВУ СУЧАСНИХ ЗАСОБІВ МАСОВОЇ ІНФОРМАЦІЇ НА ДІТЕЙ МОЛОДШОГО ШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ

Published: November 2021

В еру інформаційних технологій важко уявити світ без Інтернету та телебачення, які спричиняють значний вплив на життєдіяльність людей. Саме тому проблема впливу засобів масової інформації (ЗМІ) на суспільство загалом та на окремі вікові групи зокрема досліджується багатьма вченими. У статті здійснено теоретичний аналіз проблеми впливу сучасних ЗМІ на дітей молодшого шкільного віку, адже саме цей віковий період є досить важливим для усвідомлення власної особистості, саморозвитку, вміння керувати психічними процесами та вміння комунікувати в соціумі. З огляду на вікові особливості дитина в цей період стає досить вразливою до певної інформації і не завжди має можливість визначити позитив і негатив у тому, що бачить, чує і читає на екранах телевізорів чи моніторах комп’ютера. Схарактеризовано позитивні та негативні сторони впливу ЗМІ на молодших школярів. Особливу увагу при- ділено проблемі впливу Інтернету на фізичний, емоційний та духовний стан школярів. На думку цілої низки дослідників, використання Інтернету призводить до залежності, погіршує пам’ять, зумовлює розвиток депресив- них станів у школярів. Розкрито проблему ігрової залежності та її наслідків. Доведено, що регулярне «споживання» продукції ЗМІ призводить до того, що у школярів погіршується пам’ять та мисленнєві здібності. Схарактеризовано позитивні сторони використання Інтернету, які полягають в тому, що він надає можливості для вільної комунікації між людьми, а використання освітніх сайтів дозволяє розвивати компетентності, необхідні для успішного навчання. Отже, якщо дозовано та спрямовано споживати ЗМІ, то вони сприятимуть формуванню корисних освітніх навичок школярів, надаючи великі можливості для всебічного саморозвитку, освіти та розширення комунікатив- них зв’язків.

Grammar rules OK?
Authors: Bauer Laurie
Published: November 2021

This is not a research seminar; it is more a series of reflections on the (recent) history of linguistic thought and the problems of deciding what a grammar is, how a rule works, and whether we have alternative ways of interpreting grammatical information that may be of more practical use.
The narcissism of small differences: Sociolinguistic points of comparison in Auckland
Authors: Meyerhoff Miriam
Published: November 2021

This talk presents results from a three year enquiry into linguistic variation and change in Auckland, our largest city, and the prime site of immigration. The study was designed to explore the extent to which recent migration might be having an impact on how Auckland English sounds and is structured. Recordings of speakers in two age groups across three communities are compared: Titirangi; Papatoetoe/Manurewa; and Mount Roskill. I present some results on the pronunciation of NZ English, determiners, and relative clauses to illustrate the commonalities and differences between the communities. Sociolinguists take as given that the “narcissism of small differences” means small linguistic differences may be interpreted as expression of distinct identities. However, our research team also wonders whether a fixation on small differences becomes a narcissistic justification for researchers who engage in variationist studies.
Humour and belonging: Insights from two summer scholars
Authors: Morrell Sofia , Oden Bryer
Published: November 2021

How does humour in YouTube comments signal national belonging?

Whenever we interact we offer signals of who we are and where we belong. In negotiating our identities with others, humour is an important part of the linguistic toolkit. To explore how we both explicitly and implicitly signal identity through language choices, Sofia offers an analysis of comments from viewers of YouTube vlogs, noting in particular the ways in which we claim the status of ‘New Zealander’ through our use of and responses to humour. The goal is to consider national community alignment and the embedding of identity categories within this asynchronous, written context.

How to develop an integrated-writing test?

Using data from Victoria University of Wellington’s Language in the Workplace project, specifically data involving incomers to New Zealand and outbound New Zealanders, Bryer addresses the ways in which pragmatic understanding is central to the navigation and maintenance of successful workplace relationships. A series of transcribed interactions will demonstrate the use of humour as power, alongside reflections on experience with humour at work. By doing so, Bryer outlines how humour can be a powerful tool to uphold the hegemony of workplace power relations.
Collecting behavioural data online: Challenges, triumphs, and suggestions (or) The good, the bad, and the ugly
Authors: Skalicky Stephen , Jelani Nurul Aini Mohd , Chen Xin , Warren Paul
Published: November 2021

Language researchers who investigate language processing, representation, and production rely heavily on behavioural data to test research hypotheses. This normally involves presenting a research participant with some sort of linguistic stimuli and then measuring the speed and/or accuracy of the participant’s response. The cognitive processes associated with these decisions occur very rapidly, requiring precise timing down to the millisecond. It may thus come as a surprise to hear that this sort of data can now be collected from participants over the internet, rather than in a lab. This seminar will trace the history and status of these methods and then share how four members of LALS have used this type of data in their research, theses, and teaching. The speakers will detail the benefits and drawbacks of these approaches and provide suggestions for how future researchers can best explore this new frontier of data collection.
Optimal Stochastic Forecast Models of Rainfall in South-West Region of Nigeria
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, University of Lagos, Nigeria., Onyeka-Ubaka J. N. , Halid M. A . , Ogundeji R. K
Published: November 2021

Rainfall estimates are important components of water resources applications, especially in agriculture, transport constructing irrigation and drainage systems. This paper aims to stochastically model and forecast the rainfall trend and pattern for a city, each purposively selected in five states of the South-Western Region of Nigeria. The data collected from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) website are captured with fractional autoregressive integrated moving average (ARFIMA) and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models. The autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) are used for model identification, the models selected are subjected to diagnostic checks for the models adequacy. Several tests: Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF), Ljung Box and Jarque Bera tests are used for investigating unit root, serial autocorrelation and normality of residuals, respectively; the mean square error, root mean square error and mean absolute error are employed in validating the optimal stochastic model for each city in all states, in which the model with the lowest error of forecasting of all competing models is suggested as the best. The analyses and findings suggest SARIMA(1,0,1)(1,1,0) [12], SARIMA(3,0,2)(1,0,0) [12], SARIMA(1,0,0)(1,1,0) [12], SARIMA(2,0,2)(2,1,0) [12] and SARIMA(0,0,1)(1,1,0) [12] for (Ibadan) Oyo State, (Ikorodu) Lagos State, (Osogbo) Osun State, (Abeokuta) Ogun State and (Akure) Ondo state, respectively. The seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) model was proven to be the best optimal stochastic forecast model for forecasting rainfall in the selected cities. The SARIMA model was, therefore, recommended as a veritable technique that will assist decision makers (Government, Farmers, and Policymakers) to establish better strategies “aprior” on the management of rainfall against upcoming weather changes to ensure increase in agricultural yields for the betterment of the citizenry and general economic growth.

Published: November 2021

Lead (Pb) is an abundant and one of the most lethal metals found in the earth’s crust. Its use by humans dates back to thousands of year. Even the low doses of lead are responsible for the production of reactive oxygen species which leads to oxidative load. This oxidative stress mitigates production of malondialdehyde (MDA) and down regulates antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). Study Design: Quasi experimental Study. Place and duration of study: Department of Biochemistry, ANMCH, Islamabad, Pakistan in collaboration with NIH, Islamabad from November, 2018 to April, 2019. Methodology: A total of 40 BALB/c mice were divided into two groups of 20 mice each. Group  was given normal standard diet. Group  was given lead acetate in drinking water with normal diet without any supplementation. Levels of malondialdehyde were measured by using Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) was estimated by xanthine oxidase method at the end of study. Results: The results of our study showed increase in MDA and decrease in SOD in lead treated group when compared with the control group. Pearson correlation was applied to assess the degree of association between two parameters, it showed significant negative correlation with value of r = -0.96 and p-value of 0.001 Conclusion: It was concluded from our study that increase in MDA leads to decrease in SOD indicating strong negative correlation in lead poisoned mice.

Published: November 2021

This analysis considered the sonographic patterns of uterine myoma seen at the Central Hospital in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. Ultrasonographic records of the uteri of 312 women seen from December 2017 to January 2021 were retrieved from the Central Hospital in Warri, Nigeria. Information on the leiomyoma size, weight, occurrence site, types and number of nodules were fetched from available ultrasonographic reports. Ethical approval was obtained from the Research/ Ethical Committee of Human Anatomy Department at the Delta State University, Abraka, and the Warri Central Hospital. Data was entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 23). Results were presented in mean and simple percentage of occurrences of sampled parameters. The chi-square test was used to obtain association between categorical variables, while setting p-value < 0.05 as statistically significant. A total of 312 cases of women with leiomyoma were detailed. The 45-50 years age group had the highest frequency of 52 (16.7%). Regarding the location of the leiomyoma in the different parts of the uterus, the anterior corpus was the commonest site of occurrence of the leiyomyoma accounting for a frequency of 80 (25.6 %) while the fundus had the least frequency of 53 (17%). Based on volume and number of observed nodules, about 160 (51.3%) of assessed leiomyoma lesions were > 200cm3, whereas 152 (48.7%) were < 200cm3. Also, 1-5 nodules were observed in 117 cases, accounting for about 37.5% of the leiomyoma lesions. Conclusively, this study has shown that an insignificant association exists between patient age and the weight, size, type and number of nodules of leiyomyoma Keywords: Leiomyoma, uterine, myoma, ultrasonography.

Introduction: Currently the responsibilities and role of each nursing professional has been put to the test with the need to care for thousands of Covid-19 patients, whose demands for technical, cognitive and personal care have exceeded the capacities of many healthcare professionals. Aims & Objective: To know the perspectives of nursing professionals regarding the care of patients diagnosed with Covid-19. Material & Method: the qualitative method was applied with a phenomenological approach, with the consensual participation of 10 HANM professionals, for convenience. The information was collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed in the atlas ti software. V9, using 6 core categories and 11 subcategories with which the hermeneutical unit was built. Results: Nursing care in the time of Covid-19 has faced uncertainty and fear, not knowing accurately the procedures and treatments due to the lack of information in this regard, despite this they maintain the humanization in the treatment of the patient and the Family members, through emotional intelligence, manage their feelings and fears to provide support to their patients. Conclusions: Despite the limited accessibility to protection barriers and biosafety standards, mechanisms were established to provide comprehensive care, considering the needs of the patient and their families, and accompanying them throughout the disease process. The greatest impact for nursing professionals has been to be in constant contact with death, increasing their fear of catching it and bringing the disease to their family members.

Quinine in the Treatment of Malignant Migrating Partial Seizures in Infancy: A Case Report
Authors: Yousaf Abeer , Matter Ali , Hayat Aalia Akhtar
Published: November 2021

The syndrome of malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy was first described by Coppola and colleagues in 1995. The International League Against Epilepsy defines this form of epilepsy as a seizure onset in the first 6 months of life, occurrence of almost continuous migrating polymorphous focal seizures, combined with multifocal ictal EEG discharges, and progressive deterioration of psychomotor development. Most cases are pharmacoresistant and have poor outcomes. A lot of publications described the trial of several medications such as Stiripentol, Rufinamide, Cannabidiol, and finally Ketogenic diet, to control the refractory devastating seizures. We describe a 13-month-old girl with malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy who was started on Quinine for the control of her refractory seizures after the trial of multiple antiepileptic medications that failed to control her seizures, including Clonazepam, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbitone, Phyntion, Midazolam, Valproate, Perampanel & Ketogenic diet, all were tried by different combination at different times. Finally, as malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy are sometimes linked to K channelopathy, a trial of Quinine was given in a dose of 30mg/kg/d. Patients showed an excellent response with control of clinical & electrographic seizures. Now she is seizure-free for five months and undergoing physiotherapy. She started rolling over but doesn't have much improvement in motor milestones, is not following or cooing, and is unable to say clear words.

Study Design: Cross-Sectional Place and Duration: Nishter Institute of Dentistry, Multan between 2018-2020. Methods: There were 359 patients of both genders were presented with 525 permanent teeth. Patients were aged between 7–12 years. Patients detailed demographics age, sex, type of damage sustained, presence or absence of class II Div 1 were recorded after taking informed written consent from the authority. CPI probe was used to measure the degree of overjet as described by the 1997 WHO Basic Oral Health Survey Guidelines. Prevalence of complicated and uncomplicated crown fracture was calculated among traumatic dental injuries. Complete data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0 version. Results: Majority of the patient was male 200 (55.7%) were males and 159 (46.3%) were females. Mean age of the patients were 8.64 ±12.37 years. Falling was the most common cause of injury found in 195 (54.3%) cases followed by sports 110 (31.6%), RTA was found in 30 (8.4%) and physical violence in 24 (6.7%). Class II div 1 was present among 149 (34.2%) cases. Frequency of crown fracture was found among 43 (11.98%) cases in which complicated crown fractures were 16 (4.5%) cases and the rest 27 (7.5%) were uncomplicated crown fractures. Among 43 cases of crown fractures majority of the cases were males 27 (62.8%). Conclusion: We concluded in this study that the prevalence of crown fracture among TDI was 11.98% and majority among them was uncomplicated crown fractures.

Published: November 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and outcomes of spindle cell carcinoma. Study Design: Retrospective study Place and Duration: Multi-centric (MMDC, Multan and Dow university of Health Sciences, Karachi) Nov 2020-July 2021. Methods: There were 40 patients of both genders were presented in this study, patients were aged between 20-70 years. Patients detailed demographics were recorded after taking informed written consent. Patients with primary tongue disease comprised 17 of 40, 13 had primary paranasal sinus disease, 5 had primary hypopharynx disease, 3 had basic vocal cord disease and 2 had primary soft palate and floor of mouth disease. At least 28 people were treated with the goal of becoming entirely repaired (19 patients required surgery only and eight were treated with combined modality). The remaining 12 patients were given palliative care as a last resort. Results: Mean age of the patients was 27.77±4.49 years with mean BMI 25.19±7.64 kg/m2. Male predominance was seen, with a male to female ratio of 4:1. The oral cavity is the most commonly affected region, followed by the oropharynx. Surgery is the first line of treatment, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, depending on the indications for treatment. The shortest follow-up period was 11 months, while the longest was 31 months. Only five patients were presented with a recurrence of their condition. Conclusion: The diagnosis of spindle cell carcinoma is difficult, and histology in conjunction with immunohistochemistry is required for an accurate diagnosis to be made. The oral cavity appears to be the most common place in the younger age group in the current study, which is consistent with findings from prior studies. It is necessary to do additional research to determine the geographic diversity in clinicopathological characteristics, as well as the optimal treatment regimen for this rather rare entity.

Coleções Contemporâneas do Vestuário: estudo analítico em 5 empresas da Cadeia Têxtil e de Confecções de Pernambuco
Authors: Cavalcante Beatriz , Simões-Borgiani Danielle
Published: November 2021

Esta pesquisa apresenta a análise de coleções de vestuário em cinco empresas na Cidade de Caruaru, integrantes da Cadeia Têxtil e de Confecções de Pernambuco à luz da literatura. A princípio foi realizada a revisão da literatura, a fim de catalogar as definições para coleções do vestuário. Na revisão de literatura, elencaram-se os seguintes autores: Treptow (2013), Jones (2011), Mendes (2010), Navalon (2008), Rech (2002, 2003, 2006, 2012). Frings (2012), Simões-Borgiani (2014, 2016). Em seguida, foi elaborado um instrumento de análise e selecionadas cinco empresas para o estudo aplicado. O resultado da análise apresenta que as empresas estudadas, em sua maioria, têm desenvolvido coleções mix, sem harmonia estética entre peças, o que corrobora as definições de coleções contemporâneas do vestuário de Simões-Borgiani (2014, 2016) e que também ocorre comumente em grandes marcas nacionais e internacionais. Ainda se apresenta, nos resultados, a possibilidade de flexibilidade entre coleções, uma vez que a empresa deverá decidir o melhor tipo em relação a sua estratégia mercadológica.
Desconsideração da personalidade jurídica e novo contexto jurídico social do negócio jurídico

Considerada uma realidade autônoma a pessoa jurídica é dotada de direitos e obrigações as quais independem de seus componentes, não tendo nenhum vínculo, agindo por si só, sem qualquer ligação com a vontade individual das pessoas físicas que compõem o grupo. Reconhecida pela legislação vigente como um importante instrumento para o exercício da atividade empresarial, a personalidade jurídica deve ser usada com propósitos legítimos, de forma que a finalidade para qual foi criada seja atendida, no entanto quando esses propósitos são desvirtuados, por meio de abuso da personalidade jurídica, caracterizado pelo desvio de finalidade ou pela confusão patrimonial, a personalidade jurídica poderá ser afastada, de modo que não ocorrerá a separação patrimonial entre a pessoa jurídica e seus membros, desta forma o bens particulares dos sócios  perderão a intangibilidade, ou seja ocorrerá o  descarte da autonomia patrimonial, não havendo mais a separação entre sociedade e sócio, estendendo a responsabilidade a estes, com alcance dos bens patrimoniais pessoais. A presente pesquisa objetiva analisar o instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica no cotejo mudanças do novo contexto jurídico social do negócio jurídico
Attention, Music, Dance: Embodying the “Cinema of Attractions”
Authors: Caddy Davinia
Published: November 2021

In this essay I take up the question of whether the “cinema of attractions,” as identified and analyzed by film scholars Tom Gunning and André Gaudreault, might be a useful tool for critical analysis not only of early silent film, its exhibitionist aesthetics, and approach to spectatorship, but of theatrical dance from the period. Certainly, as for its general historical currency, the “cinema of attractions” is thought to encode the culture of modernity from which it arose: the visual spectacle, sensory fascination, bodily engagement, mechanical rhythm, violent juxtapositions, and new experiences of time and space available within the modern urban environment. Moreover, that cinema relied in no small part on dance itself: as a performing art, dance was central to the “attractions” industry, prime raw material starring The Body in Motion, a favorite fascination of contemporary art and popular entertainment. My aim is to push the analogy further, suggesting how cinema and theatrical dance might cue a similar mode of attention: that is, despite the former’s reliance on the camera, its reproductive aesthetic and industrial mechanicity, and the latter’s live theatrical aspect. Indeed, in the latter, I argue, music can be analogized to the camera itself, helping determine and sustain a particular attention economy, while pointing to itself—just as filmed objects stare at the camera—as artifice or contrivance.

Published: November 2021

O termo “exposições rememorativas” (remembering exhibitions) engloba uma tipologia de eventos que, segundo Reesa Greenberg, reeditam exposições. Entre os modos de rememorar destaca-se a reencenação, seja com o deliberado propósito de render homenagem ou para interpretar livremente princípios, teóricos ou práticos, do evento original. Este texto aborda um conjunto de eventos que remetem à exposição A mão do povo brasileiro, organizada por Lina Bo Bardi no Museu de Arte de São Paulo (Masp) quando este teve sua sede transferida para a Avenida Paulista, em 1969. Associam-se a esse evento sua reencenação em 2016 no Masp e a Sala de la Acción, um segmento da exposição permanente do Museo del Caribe Gabriel García Márquez em Barranquilla, Colômbia, inaugurado em 2008. A atribuição de autoria é analisada no contexto de projetos expográficos em museus e afins.

Статтю присвячено одному з актуальних питань сучасної вітчизняної педагогічної науки – медіакомпетентності вчителя. Зокрема розкривається сутність таких понять як медіаосвіта, медіаграмотність, медіаобізнаність, медіакомпетентність. Увага зосереджується на з’ясуванні ступеня розроблення досліджуваної проблеми в науковому та нормативно-правовому полі України: розглянуто Концепцію «Нова українська школа», Концепцію впровадження медіаосвіти в Україні.
Визначено підходи до впровадження медіаосвіти в Український освітній простір, її мету, завдання. Зазначено основні функції педагога, що необхідні для формування медіакомпетентності учнів. Указано суперечності, що заважають ефективно реалізовувати програму Нової української школи щодо імплементації медіаосвіти в шкільний простір (на кшталт розбіжностей між сучасними вимогами суспільства до професійної діяльності вчителя, яка має забезпечити створення медіаосвітнього середовища, та здебільшого неготовністю педагогів до її здійснення).
У статті порушуються питання медіаінформаційної грамотності, медіаімунітету особистості, рефлексії та критичного мислення (як психологічних механізмів, що забезпечують свідоме споживання медіапродукції і саморегуляцію взаємодії з медіа), здатності до медіатворчості та спеціалізованих аспектів медіакультури.

Authors: Belmont M R , Christmas J , Ferrier B , Duncan J D , Duncan J
Published: November 2021

This report demonstrates the capability of the forward prediction of the properties of the arriving wind at a vessel for time intervals adequate to significantly aid in the recovery of a wide range of air vehicles onto vessels. For craft with flight decks sited in the fore part of the vessel it is adequate to simply predict the arriving wind. For the more difficult task of recovery to stern areas behind superstructure it is also necessary to predict either the explicit properties of the turbulent air-wake or else to predict some quality measure for the aid of recovery under the prevailing conditions. The approach is able to relate the trends in the short-term statistical properties of fluctuating airflow over the flight deck to the trends in the predicted arriving wind.
Cerebrovascular Disease and Hypertension
Authors: Singh Sidhu Navdeep , Kaur Sumandeep
Published: November 2021

Systemic hypertension is a major public health problem, nearly affecting one-third of the global adult population. It is the leading modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular disease, renal dysfunction, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Human brain is one of the most important target organs for hypertension related end-organ damage. Two major categories of hypertension related cerebral diseases include stroke and dementia, which are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Large body of clinical evidence has shown that adequate control of elevated blood pressures (BPs) could be a very effective tool in reducing the incidence and prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases. In the following sections, we discuss the role of hypertension in the causation of cerebrovascular disease along with the preventive and therapeutic strategies for the same.

Published: November 2021

The energy generation without causing environmental pollution is a unique idea to make a better survival for human beings. In this regard, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been considered to be eco-friendly and efficient technology to produce renewable energy. The operations and functioning of MFCs technology were affected by many factors but the electrodes are the most essential and significant aspects in MFCs. Moreover, a wide variety of electrodes and MFCs configurations have been developed to enhance the electrochemical performance of MFCs. The carbon materials (graphite, graphene etc.) were commonly used for the electrode fabrication, due to some unique properties such as high conductivity, good thermal stability, high surface area, good mechanical power etc. In this chapter, different electrode materials, used for anode fabrication were summarized to reveal the performance/efficiency toward the generation of electricity. Finally, the electrochemical characterizations tool, current challenges, and future perspectives of the electrode in MFCs were discussed briefly.

Authors: Maheu-Cadotte Marc-André , Lapierre Alexandra , Fontaine Guillaume , Mailhot Tanya , Lavoie Patrick
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Healthcare organizations around the world have embraced simulation to prepare healthcare professionals to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this pandemic implies additional educational challenges in rapidly designing simulation activities, while remaining compliant with health and safety measures to prevent the spread of the virus. The effect of simulation-based education in this context remains to be evaluated. Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the features and evaluate the effect of simulation activities on the preparedness of healthcare professionals and students to safely deliver care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Databases were searched up to November 2020 using index terms and keywords related to healthcare professions, simulation, and COVID-19. All learning outcomes were considered according to the Kirkpatrick model adapted by Barr et al. (2020). Reference selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed in pairs and independently. Results were synthesized using meta-analytical methods and narrative summaries. Results: 22 studies were included, 21 of which were single-group studies and 14 of those included pretest/posttest assessments. Simulation activities were mostly implemented in clinical settings using manikins for training on the use of personal protective equipment, hand hygiene, identification and management of COVID-19 patients, and work processes and patient flow. Large improvements in learning outcomes after simulation activities were reported in all studies. Discussion and conclusion: Results should be interpreted cautiously due to significant threats to the internal validity of studies and the absence of control groups. However, these findings are coherent with the overall evidence on the positive effect of simulation-based education. Future studies should include control groups if feasible.

Introduction: The implications of the COVID-19 pandemic are far reaching for persons living with dementia (PLWD) in the community and in long-term care (LTC), as they are among the most vulnerable. PLWD are at risk for severe COVID-19 and a disruption in accessing supportive and health care due to the confinement measures. Objectives: 1) To measure the impact of the pandemic on health and social services use, mortality, COVID-19 infection where possible of PLWD both in the community and in LTC facilities compared to before the pandemic; 2) To understand PLWDs’ and care partners’ perceived needs, behaviours related to health service use and the experiences of PLWD, care partners, and physicians with health and social services; 3) To generate and disseminate evidence-based and actionable recommendations on effective strategies to address the current pandemic and prepare for subsequent waves. Methods: A convergent mixed-methods design with a participatory approach in 4 Canadian provinces. Objective 1 will use a retrospective observational cohort design to examine administrative health data. Outcomes will include mortality (all-cause; COVID-19 related), health service use and, where possible, infection rates. Objective 2 will use an explanatory multiple case study, with surveys and semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of PLWD and care partners using health and social services and the role of sociodemographic factors. The third, knowledge translation objective will integrate these results using a deliberative dialogue with key stakeholders (decision-makers, healthcare managers, PLWD, care partners, and clinicians) to develop and disseminate evidence-based recommendations for practice and policy. Impact and conclusion: This project will provide an understanding of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PLWD and care partners in Canada and highlight areas for improvement.
