ObjectivesBrazil’s PHC wide coverage has a potential role in the fight against COVID, especially in less developed regions. PHC should deal with COVID-19 treatment; health surveillance; continuity of care; and social support. This article aims to analyze PHC performance profiles during the pandemic, in these axes, comparing the five Brazilian macro-regions.MethodsA cross-sectional survey study was carried out, using stratified probability sampling of PHC facilities (PHCF). A Composite Index was created, the Covid PHC Index (CPI). Factor analysis revealed that collective actions contrastingly behaved to individual actions. We verified differences in the distributions of CPI components between macro-regions and their associations with structural indicators.ResultsNine hundred and seven PHCF participated in the survey. The CPI and its axes did not exceed 70, with the highest value in surveillance (70) and the lowest in social support (59). The Individual dimension scored higher in the South, whereas the Collective dimension scored higher in the Northeast region. PHCF with the highest CPI belong to municipalities with lower HDI, GDP per capita, population, number of hospitals, and ICU beds.ConclusionThe observed profiles, individually and collectively-oriented, convey disputes on Brazilian health policies since 2016, and regional structural inequalities.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionThe number of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) individuals worldwide has been continuously increasing. Numerous studies have shown that greenness can improve chronic respiratory health issues through different mechanisms, with inconsistent evidence. By quantitatively summarizing existing studies, our purpose is to determine the connection between greenness exposure and various chronic respiratory health.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science core databases to identify relevant studies on the correlation between greenness exposure and chronic respiratory health issues. Studies published up to January 2023 were included in the search. The study used the most frequent indicator (normalized difference vegetation index [NDVI]) as the definition of greenness exposure.ResultsWe finally identified 35 studies for meta-analysis. We calculated pooled effects across studies using a random-effects model and conducted a subgroup analysis by age and buffer zones to discuss the effects on chronic respiratory health issues. This study showed that 0.1 increments in NDVI were significantly related to lower rates of asthma incidence, lung cancer incidence, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality risk; the pooled RRs were 0.92 (95% CI: 0.85–0.98), 0.62 (95% CI: 0.40–0.95), and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.92– 0.99), respectively. For the age subgroup, the higher greenness exposure level was related to the incidence rate of asthma among teenagers aged 13–18years (RR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83–0.99). For the buffer subgroup, a positive relationship with greenness exposure and asthma incidence/prevalence at 200–300m and 800– 1000m buffers, as well as the COPD mortality at 800–1000m buffer, the pooled RRs were 0.92 (95% CI: 0.86–0.98), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.81–0.93), and 0.93 (95% CI: 0.88– 0.98), respectively. Evidence of publication bias was not detected in this study.DiscussionOur study is the first global meta-analysis between greenness and various CRDs to report an inverse association. Further research is needed in order to determine the effect of greenness exposure on different CRDs. Therefore, when planning for green development, more consideration must be given to public health and green management as intervention measures.https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPEROFILES/384029_STRATEGY_20230116.pdf

IntroductionAddressing challenges in access to specialty care, particularly long wait times and geographic disparities, is a pressing issue in the Canadian healthcare system. This study aimed to evaluate the impact and feasibility of provider-to-provider phone consultations between primary care providers (PCPs) and specialists using a novel virtual care platform in Nova Scotia (Virtual Hallway).MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey over 5 months, involving 211 PCPs and 34 specialists across Nova Scotia. The survey assessed the need for formal in-person referrals as well as clinician satisfaction. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics and the one-sample t-test.ResultsWe found that 84% of provider-to-provider phone consultations negated the need for an in-person specialist referral. It was also reported that 90% of patients that did require in-person consultation had enhanced care while they awaited an in-person appointment with a specialist. Very high levels of satisfaction were reported among both PCPs and specialists, and there was a noticeable increase in billing volumes related to these consultations as measured by provincial billing codes.ConclusionThe findings indicate that provider-to-provider phone consultations are feasible, well-accepted and also effective in reducing the need for in-person specialist visits. This approach offers a promising avenue for alleviating waitlist burdens, enhancing the quality of care, and improving the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery.

PurposeThis study aimed to explore emergency pharmacy workforce perspectives and experiences in providing pharmaceutical care during mass gathering events (i.e., FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™).MethodsA qualitative methodology was employed using focus groups discussions. Emergency pharmacists across Hamad Medical Corporation were invited to participate using a combination of purposive and snowball sampling. Focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and validated. Inductive thematic analysis was undertaken to generate key themes and subthemes.ResultsFour focus groups were conducted which included 21 participants and generated five major themes. Whilst participants had mixed opinions in relation to their preparedness to practice during the World Cup, they perceived their experience as successful and smooth. The primary perceived facilitators were management support, mobile medical units, and high public health awareness. The main highlighted barriers were related to staff insufficiency, medications availability, and cultural and language challenges. Participants recommended pharmacist’s role identification in mass gatherings, development of pharmacy action plan, and offering simulation training and pharmacy-specific training.ConclusionDespite the perceived barriers, pharmacists reported positive views in relation to their experience in providing pharmaceutical care during mass gatherings. Future research should focus on the development of theory-driven action framework for pharmacy departments to adopt during mass gatherings.

COVID-19 infections accelerate liver decompensation and serious liver-related co-morbidities. The aim is to evaluate the safety and impact of COVID vaccines on hepatic disease progression in patients with advanced liver disease and to identify parameters that predict the occurrence of complications. The study involved 70 patients with advanced liver disease who were vaccinated with different COVID vaccines from January 2021 to April 2022. They were evaluated clinically. The laboratory investigation included a complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, calculation of CTP and MELD scores, plasma levels of ammonia, abdominal ultrasound, and upper GI endoscopy. Twenty patients had experienced complications 64 ± 12 days from the last dose of a vaccination. Twenty patients (28.6%) developed hepatic decompensation and hypothyroidism (n = 11, 15.7%), and five (7.14%) patients developed splanchnic thrombosis. There were no COVID-19 reinfections except for two patients who received Sinopharm and developed vaccine-associated enhanced disease (2.9%). Complications after COVID vaccinations were correlated with ALT (r = 0.279, p = 0.019), serum sodium (r = −0.30, p = 0.005), creatinine (r = 0.303, p = 0.011), liver volume (LV) (r = −0.640, p = 0.000), and MELD score (r = 0.439, p = 0.000). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that LV is the only independent predictor (p = 0.001). LV ≤ 682.3 has a sensitivity of 95.24% and a specificity of 85.71% in predicting complications with an AUC of 0.935, p < 0.001. In conclusion, the hepatic reserve and prognosis in liver cirrhosis should be evaluated prior to COVID vaccinations using the MELD score and liver volume as promising risk stratification criteria. In summary, the research proposes a novel triaging strategy that involves utilizing the MELD score and liver volume as risk stratification parameters of the hepatic reserve and prognosis of advanced liver cirrhosis prior to COVID immunization to determine who should not receive a COVID vaccination.

The article analyzes the process of distance learning of graduates of the Department of Choreography of Kharkiv National Pedagogical University named after H.S. Frying pans Factors affecting the formation of professional abilities of students with traditional and distance forms of education are considered. Introduction of distant education in Ukraine has been stipulated by objective demands of modern Society. Cause-and-effect relationships between teaching methods and the formation of pedagogical competences of choreographers-apprentices have been established. On the basis of the studied facts, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made regarding the improvement of the quality of the educational process of students of choreographic specialties during distance learning. Having considered the positive and negative aspects of distance education of students of the Department of Choreography of the Kharkіv National University, it should be noted that this form of education is effective, but only in a mixed format together with traditional education, along with the acquisition of professional practical knowledge, skills and abilities. There must be specially equipped rooms, but, unfortunately, most of the students do not have any. Moreover, there is a lack of motivation, self-discipline, and a lack of system as for gained knowledge. It is proved that the effectiveness of the distance format of professional training of future teachers of choreography during martial law depends on the level of studentsʼ motivation for learning and their self-organization. Self-organization ensures the studentʼs ability to plan and carry out their own learning activities in accordance with the priorities of professional training. It is motivation that is the driving force behind the studentʼs acquisition of the necessary professional knowledge and professional skills.
It should be noted that this work does not cover all the issues related to the study of choreographic disciplines in the conditions of distance learning. This study requires further study and determination of the impact of distance education on the formation of competencies of students of choreographic specialties.

Published: December 2023

The article examines the issue of the use of interactive learning technologies in secondary education institutions, their importance in the process of studying the material of biological content in biology lessons. The use of interactive methods contributes to the formation of communication skills, the ability to clearly and consistently express one's opinion, analyze, formulate conclusions, work in a team, increases interest in the educational material, which, as a result, contributes to the improvement of student success. The use of interactive exercises in biology lessons at school enables students to realize themselves, increase the level of their knowledge, creates comfortable conditions in the learning process, improves the development of critical thinking of students, contributes to better memorization of educational material, forms and develops general educational competences of students in biology.
Examples of the use of such methods as "who will determine first", "my mood in the lesson", "teaching-learning", "openwork saw", "brainstorming", "incomplete sentence", "associative bush", "microphone", " intellectual map", "tree of knowledge", "yes - no", "questionnaire-reflection", "point of support", "cheat sheet", "doctor consults", "incomplete sentences", "recall", "catch a mistake", " my mood in class", "you - me, I - you", "circle of ideas", "word cloud" in the process of studying the material of the biological direction in biology lessons.
Biology lessons were held for the 6th and 8th grades of the secondary school. Exercises and interactive learning methods were used in the experimental classes, but not in the control classes. In both classes, at the end of each lesson, an express test was conducted on the parallels, which made it possible to trace whether the interactive exercises were effective, and in which class the students' success rate was higher. The average score of students before the use of interactive learning technologies was calculated. On the basis of the received data, an analysis of the level of assimilation of knowledge, abilities and skills of students was carried out.
As a result of the pedagogical experiment, the interest and high activity of students in the application of interactive teaching methods was revealed. From the analysis of the level of assimilation of knowledge, abilities and skills, with the help of calculating the average score and the indicator of qualitative success, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the correct selection of exercises and methods. When comparing the performance indicators in the experimental classes, in which interactive exercises were used, and in the control classes, where traditional training was conducted, it was established that in the former, the average score and the qualitative performance indicator of students increased relative to the initial values.

Published: December 2023

Motivation is an urge to act because all human actions are motivated. Motivation is seen as one of the crucial factors that influence student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall academic success. The article is devoted to the issue of formation of students’ motivation when studying mathematics. It is a multifaceted concept that can be influenced by various external and internal factors. The work provides a description and analysis of conducted scientific research related to motivation.
Motivation is considered the most important component of educational activity, through the implementation and with the help of which the activation of educational activity and the development of the creative potential of future specialists are carried out. Therefore, an important element of education is the education of motivation to acquire knowledge. Motivation is an urge to act necessary to solve some professional tasks. The important conditions for the formation of educational motivation of university students in the process of studying the disciplines of the mathematical cycle are substantiated: the definition of the goals of educational activity, the selection and construction of means for the formation of educational motivation that contributes to the activation of the student’s educational activity, and the analysis of the process and results.
Based on some methods, the level of formation of student’s motivation in the process of studying mathematics was revealed. The education of positive learning motivation is facilitated by the general atmosphere at the university, and the cooperative relationship between the teacher and the student. The obvious need for the teacher's help is not in the form of direct intervention in the performance of the task, but in the form of advice that prompts the student himself to make the right decision; involving the student in assessment activities and forming an adequate self-assessment. Such activity requires the development of programs, courses of lectures, seminars, methodical manuals, didactic materials, problem books, etc.
Les archives comme ciment de l’unité nationale : repères historiques et vitrine de l’administration camerounaise
Authors: Monty Jacques Albert 
Published: December 2023

Depuis plus de trois ans, le Cameroun traverse une crise sociopolitique profonde et sans précédent. C’est par des revendications corporatistes qu’elle a vu le jour en 2016. Puis, quelque temps plus tard, elle s’est muée en crise politique avec des revendications allant jusqu’à toucher la forme de l’État. Elle porte dorénavant l’appellation de crise anglophone ou crise du nord-ouest et du sud-ouest, pour désigner les deux régions anglophones du Cameroun. Comprendre cette crise, c’est aussi faire un retour sur une partie de l’histoire politique et sociale mais parfois coloniale du Cameroun. Ce retour aux sources (documentaires) est aussi synonyme de l’ouverture, de la consultation et de l’exploitation des archives. La consultation et l’exploitation de ces archives pourraient ainsi nous permettre d’apprécier et d’appréhender la crise sus évoquée. À côté de cette crise, l’administration publique camerounaise apparaît elle-même comme un lieu idéal d’expression et d’analyse des documents d’archives. Cet article vise à appréhender une partie de l’histoire politique et sociale du Cameroun de l’indépendance à nos jours à travers les archives mais aussi les documents administratifs. Ce parcours nous sert d’alibi pour apprécier la gestion des documents dans l’administration
publique camerounaise aujourd’hui, mais surtout d’analyser lesdits documents à l’épreuve de leur mission dans une institution particulière. Sur cette base, nous pensons que, faire une analyse documentaire de certaines archives historiques et documents administratifs peut donner lieu à une pluralité d’analyse.
Quel bilan scientifique pour les services d’archives ? Une analyse à travers les expositions organisées de 2014 à 2018
Authors: Gilles Benjamin 
Published: December 2023

La numérisation des registres matriculaires, la participation à la Grande Collecte ou le Grand Mémorial apparaissent comme les projets les plus représentatifs de l’investissement des archives dans le centenaire de la Première Guerre mondiale. Mais l’action de ces services a été beaucoup plus large et soutenue que ces projets phares. De 2013 à 2018, les établissements ont diffusé auprès de leurs usagers une histoire du conflit à partir de leurs fonds documentaires. La durée inédite de la commémoration a influé sur l’engagement des archives. Beaucoup d’actions se sont concentrées sur
le début et la fin du Centenaire. Des territoires de la mémoire de la Grande Guerre se sont également dessinés. La
majorité des services ont fait le choix d’organiser des manifestations au début et à la fin de la commémoration ; les expositions ont été le type de manifestation culturelle et scientifique privilégié. Celles organisées par les Archives départementales et municipales ont insisté sur la dimension locale du conflit et se sont appuyées sur l’historiographie la
plus récente. La fréquentation de ces expositions et les consultations des ressources mises en ligne témoignent du rôle central des archives dans la transmission de l’histoire et de la mémoire de la Grande Guerre.

L’année 2018 a été un temps fort pour les Archives départementales des Bouches-du-Rhône, qui ont contribué à la mise en place, à la demande de la collectivité, d’un grand nombre d’actions visant à célébrer le centenaire de la
signature de l’armistice, et plus largement la mémoire de la Grande Guerre. Les Archives ont ainsi travaillé en collaboration avec de multiples directions de la collectivité auxquelles elles ont apporté leurs ressources documentaires et leurs conseils scientifiques. Pour le service éducatif, cette année a été l’occasion de créer un atelier innovant qui a rencontré un véritable succès.
