Objective: We aimed to assess the level of fear among nurses in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 outbreak.Methods: A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted from June to August 2020. All nurses currently working in public and private hospitals in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic were invited to complete an online survey. We used the 7-item unidimensional Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) to assess the level of fear of COVID-19. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify predictors associated with fear of COVID-19.Results: A total of 969 nurses participated in this study. The participants were relatively young with a mean age of 35.5 ± 10.46 years. About two-thirds of the participants were women (65.9%), married (57.2%), and were non-Saudi nationals (67%). The total mean score for the FCV-19S was 19.7 SD 7.03 (range 7–35), which is near the mid-point, indicating a moderate level of fear of COVID-19. Out of the eight variables measured in the analysis, three variables emerged as a significant predictor (i.e., gender, marital status, and age). A higher level of fear (FCV-19S) was associated with being a woman, married, and older age (p ≤ 0.05).Conclusion: This study demonstrated the level of fear of COVID-19 among nurses in Saudi Arabia. Overall, nurses in Saudi reported moderate levels of fear of COVID-19. Assessing the level of fear of nurses who work during the COVID-19 pandemic should be a priority to health care administrators to prevent mental health difficulties or psychological injury.

Published: October 2021

Objective: Our objective was to examine developmental trajectories of co-occurring psychopathology symptoms from childhood to young adulthood in individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and typically developing (TD) individuals.Method: We assessed co-occurring psychopathology symptoms in 61 individuals with ADHD, 26 with ASD, and 40 TD individuals at baseline (T1; Mage = 11.72, 64% boys), 2-year follow up (T2; Mage = 13.77), and 10-year follow up (T3; Mage = 21.35). We analyzed trajectories of internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors, and total problems with linear mixed models.Results: From T1 to T3, the ADHD group displayed a small decline in internalizing behaviors (d = −0.49) and large declines in externalizing behaviors (d = −0.78) and total problems (d = −0.71). The ASD group displayed large declines in internalizing behaviors (d = −0.79), externalizing behaviors (d = −0.80), and total problems (d = −0.89). From T1 to T2, the decline in externalizing behaviors and total problems were significantly smaller in the ADHD group compared with the ASD group. The ADHD and the ASD group displayed more co-occurring symptoms compared with the TD group at T3.Conclusion: Individuals with ADHD and ASD, respectively, displayed declines in co-occurring symptoms from childhood to young adulthood. Individuals with ASD displayed an earlier decline compared with individuals with ADHD. Compared with TD individuals, individuals with ADHD and ASD, respectively, continued to display elevated levels of co-occurring symptoms in young adulthood.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Consistent with the aspirations of First Nations Australians for community control of healthcare services, 123/196 (63%) of Australia's First Nations-specific primary health care services are community-controlled. Yet despite policy commitment over 30 years, the transition of government-run First Nations' primary healthcare services to First Nations community control has been slow. This paper identifies the barriers and enablers to transitioning the delivery of primary healthcare services from Queensland Health to Gurriny Yealamucka community-controlled health service in Yarrabah.Methods: Grounded theory methods were used to select 14 Gurriny and Queensland Health (QH) personnel involved in the transition for interview and to analyse these interview transcripts and 88 Gurriny organisational documents.Results: Barriers and enablers to transition were identified at three levels: those internal factors within Gurriny, external factors directly related to the government handover, and broader structural and policy factors outside the control of either Gurriny or QH. Barriers at the Gurriny organisational level were an internal lack of experience and capacity, and varying levels of community confidence; enablers were leadership stability and capacity, community mandate, relationships with partner organisations, and ability to provide service continuity. Barriers in Gurriny's relationship with QH were a lack of certainty, transparency and prioritisation of the transition process; systemic racism; difficulties obtaining and maintaining the necessary workforce; limited resources including insufficient, unstable and inappropriate funding support; and problems with information sharing; enablers were performance frameworks to keep transition progress on track. Barriers in broad policy environment were an unsupportive Queensland government policy environment; government bureaucracy; and delays, conflicts and divisions; enablers were high-level government support and commitment.Conclusions: The evaluation of Yarrabah's transition process suggests that future such transitions will require planning and commitment to a long-term, multi-faceted and complex process, encompassing the required level of authorisation and resourcing. This case example of a transition from government to community control of PHC highlighted the ongoing power issues that are faced every day by community-controlled organisations that co-exist with mainstream health systems within a colonial power structure.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe and compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among populations with normal glycemic levels, prediabetes, and diabetes in southwest China and to offer baseline data that can be easily compared to other regions in China or across countries.Methods: A quality of life survey based on the EuroQoL-5 Dimension-5 level (EQ-5D-5L) scale was conducted through face-to-face or telephone interviews. A total of 403 respondents with diabetes, 404 with prediabetes, and 398 with normal blood glucose were enrolled in the survey. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to decrease the bias of three groups, conditioned on age and gender, body mass index (BMI), and household income. For the three groups, we matched two groups first and then matched the result with the third group. Differences among groups were compared by chi-square test one-way ANOVA after adjusting by PSM.Results: In general, the blood glucose of people with diabetes was generally well-controlled in southwest China, but they were often accompanied by the circulatory system and nutritional metabolic diseases. Ninety-nine individuals from each group were matched. The EuroQoL-5 Dimension index of the population with normal glycemic levels, prediabetes, and patients with diabetes was 0.901, 0.948, and 0.897. The EuroQol-visual analog scales (EQ-VAS) scores of each group above were 73.76, 77.45, and 68.34. HRQoL in males was higher than that of females in the three study groups. The results after PSM were consistent with that before matching.Conclusion: There was a general trend that patients were associated with a decline of HRQoL from the prediabetic population, population with normal glycemic levels to diabetic population. Pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression might not be specific for the population with or without diabetes.

Published: October 2021

Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the leading cause of poisoning death worldwide, but associations between CO poisoning and weather remain unclear.Objective: To quantify the influence of climate parameters (e.g., temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed) on the incidence risk of acute CO poisoning in Taiwan.Methods: We used negative binomial mixed models (NBMMs) to evaluate the influence of weather parameters on the incidence risk of acute CO poisoning. Subgroup analyses were conducted, based on the seasonality and the intentionality of acute CO poisoning cases.Results: We identified a total of 622 patients (mean age: 32.9 years old; female: 51%) with acute CO poisoning in the study hospital. Carbon monoxide poisoning was associated with temperature (beta: −0.0973, rate ratio (RR): 0.9073, p &lt; 0.0001) but not with relative humidity (beta: 0.1290, RR: 1.1377, p = 0.0513) or wind speed (beta: −0.4195, RR: 0.6574, p = 0.0806). In the subgroup analyses, temperature was associated with the incidence of intentional CO poisoning (beta: 0.1076, RR: 1.1136, p = 0.0333) in spring and unintentional CO poisoning (beta: −0.1865, RR: 0.8299, p = 0.0184) in winter.Conclusion: Changes in temperature affect the incidence risk for acute CO poisoning, but the impact varies with different seasons and intentionality in Taiwan. Our findings quantify the effects of climate factors and provide fundamental evidence for healthcare providers to develop preventative strategies to reduce acute CO poisoning events.
Reflexiones en torno a las competencias y competencias tecnológicas en la formación superior en Bolivia
Authors: Chamoso Luna Mercedes 
Published: October 2021

El siguiente artículo tiene por objetivo preponderar la importancia del modelo de formación por competencias y, por otro lado, el desarrollo de las competencias tecnológicas dentro de la educación superior donde las TIC juegan un rol preponderante desde su incorporación en el ámbito educativo. Desde aquí que el estudio se ha centrado en la realización de una revisión sistemática de la literatura y para organizar la información por categorías se utilizó el método cualitativo de análisis de contenido, para ello, se establecieron los insumos teóricos y aspectos centrales en torno a dos elementos: las competencias y las competencias tecnológicas en el ámbito educativo, así como la importancia del desarrollo de las mismas en un contexto laboral cada vez más competitivo y cambiante. Los resultados arrojan la visión que deben tener los futuros docentes sobre el desarrollo de las competencias y las competencias tecnológicas. Por lo que se concluye que ambos elementos al ser polisémicos contribuyen en el mejoramiento de la calidad educativa dentro de la formación superior.
La formación académica de los jóvenes y las pruebas de admisión a la educación superior. Una experiencia peruana
Authors: Romero Centeno Rómulo Cresenciano 
Published: October 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación se basa en valorar la influencia de la formación precedente en los estudiantes peruanos de los centros preuniversitarios de universidades estatales para lograr el éxito en las pruebas de acceso a las instituciones de la educación superior. La metodología aplicada se basa en un diseño bibliográfico de tipo documental, de la misma manera esta investigación se apoya en un diseño no experimental de tipo de campo con nivel descriptivo y explicativo. La educación preuniversitaria no forma parte del sistema educativo peruano; pero, para ingresar a la universidad nacional, es una estación obligatoria. La investigación concluye que la educación básica regular estatal no prepara a los estudiantes para seguir estudios de educación superior porque los cinco cursos que brinda en 11 años de educación no son suficientes para responder los complejos exámenes de admisión de cualquier universidad nacional.
Esquema de Lucio Costa
Authors: Arantes Otília Beatriz Fiori 
Published: October 2021

En este ensayo - escrito especialmente para el Revista Block, de la Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Buenos Aires, 1999 (reproducido parcialmente, tres años después, en el periódico Folha de São Paulo, ver facsímil en este sitio, “Resumo de Lucio Costa”) -, Otilia Arantes retoma y desarrolla el argumento principal de otro texto, publicado en la propia Folha, el 12 de abril de 1996, en una reseña del libro Registro de uma vivência, reproducido, con algunas modificaciones, en Sentido da Formação (Paz e Terra, 1997, pág. también reproducido en este sitio). Es preciso señalar que Lucio habría contado la historia de la arquitectura brasileña desde el punto de vista de una arquitectura ya "formada" y que "funcionó", en el sentido de haber sido completada en un breve período de tiempo, que va desde el Ministerio de Educación hasta los edificios de Pampulha o hasta el Pabellón de Exposiciones de Nueva York, aunque la meta será Brasilia. Desde las manifestaciones individuales hasta el sistema, menos de dos décadas: un aparato realmente impresionante, especialmente por la experiencia técnica demostrada. Un “Milagro” que dejaría perplejos a los críticos extranjeros. La formación como parte del sistema cultural brasileño, tal como la utilizan Antonio Candido en Formação da Literatura Brasileira (y Caio Prado y Celso Furtado en Formação Econômica), se trata, por tanto, de la formación nacional, en el marco de la herencia colonial siempre presente que hay que superar. Al mismo tiempo, como país dependiente, la afluencia externa sigue siendo preponderante, de tal manera que su actualización también revela el desajuste en su origen. Desajuste histórico, que en la Arquitectura brasileña se traduciría en un cierto formalismo, cuyo sesgo estetizador terminaría, paradójicamente, revelando en la periferia la verdad en la matriz de la Arquitectura Moderna, su falso fondo por así decirlo. Como puede verse, Lucio Costa, historiador y gran protagonista de esta historia, es quizás quien mejor resume las contradicciones e ilusiones del propio Proyecto Moderno. Al mismo tiempo, su trayectoria y la interpretación que realiza la autora es la clave principal de la lectura que hace del Movimiento Moderno.

Les hippopotames quaternaires non-insulaires d'Europe occidentale
Authors: Faure Martine 
Published: October 2021

Plus de 350 gisements d'hippopotames ont été recensés dans le Pléistocène d'Europe occidentale. Au début du Pléistocène moyen apparaissent sur le continent Hippopotamus major puis Hippopotamus incognitus. Ces deux espèces sont étudiées en détail sur le plan anatomique par comparaison avec l'actuel Hippopotamus amphibius. Une évolution de leur squelette au cours du temps est mise en évidence. H . major n'est présent qu'au Pléistocène moyen et essentiellement dans les régions du Valdarno en Italie, d'Auvergne en France et du Forest-Bed en Angleterre. H. incognitus, au début contemporain de H. major , existe jusqu'au Pléistocène supérieur dans de nombreux gisements dont les principaux se situent dans les bassins de la Tamise (le gisement-type est Barrington), du Rhin et de la Seine. H. major et H. incognitus ne sont pas caractéristiques d'un climat particulièrement chaud mais restent de bons indicateurs d'humidité. Les deux espèces fossiles et H. amphibius ont un ancêtre africain commun mais ne dérivent pas les uns des autres.
Les deux espèces d'hippopotames ayant vécu au Pléistocène sur le continent européen constituent un bon outil stratigraphique et paléoécologique.

Key Points

Increasing distances from the nearest dialysis provider was associated with increased utilization of peritoneal dialysis.Driving distance is more reflective of the patient experience than straight-line distance.

Background
Accessibility to dialysis facilities plays a central role when deciding on a patient’s long-term dialysis modality. Studies investigating the effect of distance to nearest dialysis-providing unit on modality choice have yielded conflicting results. We set out to investigate the association between patients’ dialysis modality and both the driving and straight-line distances to the closest HD- and PD-providing units.

Methods
All patients with ESKD who initiated in-center HD and PD in 2017, were 18–90 years old, and were on dialysis for ≥30 days were included. Patients in residence zip codes in nonconterminous United States or lived >90 miles from the nearest HD-providing unit were excluded.

Results
A total of 102,247 patients in the United States initiated in-center HD and PD in 2017. Compared with patients on HD, patients on PD had longer driving distances to their nearest PD unit (4.4 versus 3.4 miles; P<0.001). Patients who lived >30 miles from the nearest HD unit were more likely to be on PD if the nearest PD unit was a distance equal to/less than that of the HD unit. PD utilization increased with increasing distance from patients’ homes to the nearest HD unit. No change in this association was found regardless of if the PD unit was farther from/closer than the nearest HD unit. This association was not seen with straight-line distance analysis.

Conclusions
With increasing distances from the nearest dialysis-providing units (HD or PD), PD utilization increased. Using driving distance rather than straight-line distance affects data analysis and outcomes. Increasing the number of PD units may have a limited effect on increasing PD utilization.
