Background
Funding changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic supported the growth of direct-to-consumer virtual walk-in clinics in several countries. Little is known about patients who attend virtual walk-in clinics or how these clinics contribute to care continuity and subsequent health care use.

Objective
The objective of the present study was to describe the characteristics and measure the health care use of patients who attended virtual walk-in clinics compared to the general population and a subset that received any virtual family physician visit.

Methods
This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study in Ontario, Canada. Patients who had received a family physician visit at 1 of 13 selected virtual walk-in clinics from April 1 to December 31, 2020, were compared to Ontario residents who had any virtual family physician visit. The main outcome was postvisit health care use.

Results
Virtual walk-in patients (n=132,168) had fewer comorbidities and lower previous health care use than Ontarians with any virtual family physician visit. Virtual walk-in patients were also less likely to have a subsequent in-person visit with the same physician (309/132,168, 0.2% vs 704,759/6,412,304, 11%; standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.48), more likely to have a subsequent virtual visit (40,030/132,168, 30.3% vs 1,403,778/6,412,304, 21.9%; SMD 0.19), and twice as likely to have an emergency department visit within 30 days (11,003/132,168, 8.3% vs 262,509/6,412,304, 4.1%; SMD 0.18), an effect that persisted after adjustment and across urban/rural resident groups.

Conclusions
Compared to Ontarians attending any family physician virtual visit, virtual walk-in patients were less likely to have a subsequent in-person physician visit and were more likely to visit the emergency department. These findings will inform policy makers aiming to ensure the integration of virtual visits with longitudinal primary care.

Background
China implemented a nationwide lockdown to contain COVID-19 from an early stage. Previous studies of the impact of COVID-19 on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and diseases caused by blood-borne viruses (BBVs) in China have yielded widely disparate results, and studies on deaths attributable to STDs and BBVs are scarce.

Objective
We aimed to elucidate the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on cases, deaths, and case-fatality ratios of STDs and BBVs.

Methods
We extracted monthly data on cases and deaths for AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C between January 2015 and December 2021 from the notifiable disease reporting database on the official website of the National Health Commission of China. We used descriptive statistics to summarize the number of cases and deaths and calculated incidence and case-fatality ratios before and after the implementation of a nationwide lockdown (in January 2020). We used negative binominal segmented regression models to estimate the immediate and long-term impacts of lockdown on cases, deaths, and case-fatality ratios in January 2020 and December 2021, respectively.

Results
A total of 14,800,330 cases of and 127,030 deaths from AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C were reported from January 2015 to December 2021, with an incidence of 149.11/100,000 before lockdown and 151.41/100,000 after lockdown and a case-fatality ratio of 8.21/1000 before lockdown and 9.50/1000 after lockdown. The negative binominal model showed significant decreases in January 2020 in AIDS cases (–23.4%; incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.766, 95% CI 0.626-0.939) and deaths (–23.9%; IRR 0.761, 95% CI 0.647-0.896), gonorrhea cases (–34.3%; IRR 0.657, 95% CI 0.524-0.823), syphilis cases (–15.4%; IRR 0.846, 95% CI 0.763-0.937), hepatitis B cases (–17.5%; IRR 0.825, 95% CI 0.726-0.937), and hepatitis C cases (–19.6%; IRR 0.804, 95% CI 0.693-0.933). Gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis C showed small increases in the number of deaths and case-fatality ratios in January 2020. By December 2021, the cases, deaths, and case-fatality ratios for each disease had either reached or remained below expected levels.

Conclusions
COVID-19 lockdown may have contributed to fewer reported cases of AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C and more reported deaths and case-fatality ratios of gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis C in China.

Authors: Imhanyehor Germaine O. J. 
Published: January 2023

Despite the enormous potential of ICTs and digital literacy in the educational setup, most primary schools in Benin City are yet to fully implement and take advantage of its numerous benefits to the teaching and learning process. This study therefore examined the possibility of incorporating digital literacy at the primary school level, as well as ascertains the extent to which electronic gadgets are available and accessible and the challenges militating against the implementation of digital literacy in private primary schools in Benin City. The research design adopted for this study is descriptive survey. Using the stratified random sampling technique, a total of 448 primary school teachers responded to the Digital Literacy Questionnaire in Primary School (DLPQS) that was developed by the researcher and used for data collection. The data analysis was done using simple tables of frequency counts and percentages. Findings from the study revealed that whilst 90.2 % of the teachers possessed Personal Computers (PC) and other electronic gadgets and were relatively proficient with the use of said devices, computers and digital gadgets were not readily available and accessible as 52.7 % of the teachers taught in schools that did not currently have a computer lab with 60.7 % not having access to the lab. Where available, 69.4 % of the teachers indicated that most of the computers where outdated and not functional and 79.5 % reported that the number of computers were insufficient. Findings also showed that – lack of/insufficient number of computers, poor internet connectivity and epileptic power supply were the major drawbacks in the use of digital literacy in the primary schools.
New Tendencies in Operational Risk Management in Banks: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Sobanova Jelena , Kudinska Marina 
Published: January 2023

The importance of operational risk management in the bank increases every year. Banks need to take actions to prevent fraudulent activities, minimize errors in transactions, automate processes and improve data security. Ignoring operational risk procedures or failure to implement suitable control mechanisms could lead to unexpected losses, unsatisfied customers, and potentially regulatory sanctions, all of which could seriously harm bank’s reputation in a highly competitive market. A specific focus is on payments and security transactions, as they are linked to the biggest risks. Any regulatory driven project failure or IT project failure in the bank, insufficient project governance, failed implementation of a new system or failure in external data sources can lead to even bigger losses. After a review of the Basel Framework and the new set of standards of the upcoming changes to take effect as of 2023, the aim of this article is to elucidate the changes related to operational risk capital in banks and to ascertain the weakest points in operational risk management. Therefore, this topic is timely relevant, as the aim of the research is to manifest the possible changes withing operational risk management in banks, by gathering and analysing empirical evidence. This article is based on academic research and professional experience. The methods used in the research are comparison, generalization and graphical illustration of statistical information, identification of the main idea of regulatory frameworks and legal documentation. The main results and findings of the research are that banks will need to rethink the strategies of their capital management and this article emphasizes the importance of a redesigned approach towards operational risk assessment in Basel III and substantiates the efficiency of the proposed framework. With Basel III, each loss may cause more challenges, as will be considered twice, as the direct impact on profit/loss and direct impact on future operational risk capital. Another finding is that the biggest amounts of losses are related to corporate items events and according to the static data taken from ORX membership community, top five monthly losses are far from normal distribution. Important finding was that most of the banks were not prepared for COVID-19-pandemic and had to review operational risk procedures immediately to secure their business in working from home environment, meaning that gap in operational risk management existed already before COVID-19-pandemic.

Published: January 2023

Purpose – The analysis of the competitive impact of FinTechs requires the standardization of their categories to compare their products and services with the already delivered by incumbent banks. In this study, we address the problem of the multiplicity of FinTechs categories and provide a solution using content and cluster analysis.Theoretical framework – The literature about FinTechs. In our bibliographical research, we do not find works aiming to present a standard definition of categories of FinTechs. This type of work is almost nonexistent and categorization of FinTechs is defined as a “blurry issue”.Design/methodology/approach – In this study, we address the problem of the multiplicity of FinTechs categories and provide a solution using content analysis, cluster analysis, and the software Gephi.Findings – The result is a model comprised of nine FinTechs categories: Payments and Transfers; Exchange; Lending; Insurance; Investments; Advice; B2B; Digital Banks; and Others. We also elaborate a portfolio with 157 products and services offered by Brazilian incumbent banks, which allows the comparison between these two types of companies.Originality/value – The main contribution is the use of objective criteria and existing literature, as well as Gephi software, to build categories of FinTechs analysis, an emerging theme in financial market studies.
Antropologia: um desafio para a educação e o desenvolvimento humano
Authors: Wulf Christoph 
Published: January 2023

Objetiva contribuir para a análise da relação entre antropologia, educação e desenvolvimento humano e aborda amplos panoramas do conceito de antropologia histórico-cultural. A antropologia inclui quatro paradigmas: o processo de hominização, o filosófico, o histórico e o cultural. Tais paradigmas correspondem a duas tendências contraditórias de desenvolvimento na globalização atual: uma é direcionada à uniformização, enquanto a outra se volta aos limites desse desenvolvimento e acentua as condições de diversidade cultural. Há uma dupla historicidade e culturalidade na antropologia que surge da historicidade e culturalidade das diferentes perspectivas de pesquisadores antropológicos e do caráter históricocultural dos conteúdos e dos temas de pesquisa. A relação entre pesquisa de uma única disciplina, interdisciplinar e transdisciplinar é uma questão fundamental na antropologia. Enquanto há muitas abordagens possíveis, a interdisciplinaridade e a transdisciplinaridade, como formas de organização, são particularmente adequadas para a pesquisa no campo da antropologia.
Narrativas autobiográficas de surdos ou de pessoas com deficiência visual: análise de identidades e de representações
Authors: Müller Janete , Mianes Felipe 
Published: January 2023

Articulado aos estudos culturais em educação, objetiva analisar os processos identitários e as representações de sujeitos surdos ou com deficiência visual, problematizando relatos escolares em narrativas autobiográficas. Assim, investigam-se oito obras que circulam no mercado editorial, percorrendo diferentes espaços e tempos, de modo a conferir um panorama sobre as experiências de in/exclusão de “sujeitos considerados diferentes” nas escolas comuns, sobretudo no ensino fundamental. No diálogo com teorizações sobre narrativas de si, identidades e representações, a análise do material empírico possibilita observar a dificuldade em acessar e garantir uma educação inclusiva a sujeitos surdos ou com deficiência visual. Narrando e resistindo a representações pejorativas, esses sujeitos tensionam processos de normalização, autoafirmam suas posições identitárias em grupos minoritários e reivindicam o direito à diferença. Uma inclusão não excludente permite a acolhida ao diferente e a “sensação de inclusão”, potencializando suas possibilidades de aprendizagem.
Contribuições ao debate sobre gestão democrática da educação: foco em legislações municipais sul-rio-grandenses

Published: January 2023

Intenta contribuir ao debate sobre gestão democrática do ensino público mediante o mapeamento de legislações municipais sobre o tema, focalizando o provimento do cargo de gestor escolar e tendo como lócus de pesquisa as redes municipais dos 12 municípios mais populosos do Rio Grande do Sul. No mapeamento e exame dessas legislações municipais, a pesquisa contribui para o debate em duas vertentes: a) necessidade contextual e premente da existência de legislações que regulamentem a questão da gestão democrática pois, b) no silêncio da lei, há um possível emparelhamento desse conceito ao mecanismo/ação da eleição de diretores/gestores. Adotando metodologia analítico-reconstrutiva, a investigação baseia-se em análise documental e no estabelecimento de categorias-chave que auxiliam na problematização dos achados da pesquisa. Conclui que o avanço democrático conquistado pelos municípios foco da análise ratifica a necessária regulamentação da gestão democrática, a fim de evitar que um dos mecanismos ou ações desta – a eleição de diretores – represente a integralidade do conceito.
