How children perceive COVID-19? Kids drawings and perceptions of parents

COVID-19 affected many lives, number of children become stressful and socially isolated. School closure also has great impact on children’s social-emotional development and overall wellbeing. The aim of current study was to identify children’s reactions to COVID-19 and its impact on academic and social life. Qualitative participatory research design was used to assess children perception about COVID-19. Data were collected from parent’s interview and Children drawing. Three major themes include: Fear of the drastic changes, increased sense of responsibility, and gratitude for being at home with family was reported by the parents however children drawings revealed that most of the children felt unhappy and sad because of lock down they were missing things they were missing enjoyed earlier such as school, fiends and outdoor activities and games. This is astonished that most of the children drawn the COVID-19 virus and represented as giant and ugly. Few children also draw mask and other protective measures. Public awareness program on COVID-19 protection and mental health promotion of will be window of opportunity for children psychosocial wellbeing

Os efeitos da pandemia do Covid-19 no desempenho das revistas acadêmicas: o caso da Turquia

Since the beginning of 2020, “Covid-19” has affected the whole world in an unprecedented way in modern times. It is inevitable that this pandemic, which has negatively affected many fields, will also have an impact on academic journals. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the performance of academic journals. In our study, a “Data Envelopment Analysis” methodology with 3 inputs and 3 outputs was used to determine the relative “performance of the journals”. Within the scope of the study, 109 journals published in “Turkey” and scanned in “Web of Science” indexes were examined. Results show that eleven journals were efficient in 2019, while in 2020 this number decreased to seven. Four fields have been positively affected by the pandemic and journals publishing in these fields have increased their efficiencies. Eighteen fields were adversely affected by the pandemic and the efficiency of journal publishing in these fields decreased. Eleven fields and journals publishing in these fields maintained their efficiency both before and during the pandemic. As the Covid-19 pandemic is not over yet, our data is limited. In the coming years, more detailed and comprehensive studies can be carried out with more extensive data and a further number of journals from different countries

Small female citation advantages for US journal articles in medicine

This is an accepted manuscript of an article published by SAGE in Journal of Information Science on 16/02/2022, available online at: https://doi.org/10.1177/0165551520942729 The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.Female underrepresentation continues in senior roles within academic medicine, potentially influenced by a perception that female research has less citation impact. This article provides systematic evidence of (a) female participation rates from the perspective of published journal articles in 46 Scopus medical subject categories 1996-2018 and (b) gender differences in citation rates 1996-2014. The results show female proportion increases 1996-2018 in all fields and a female majority of first authored articles in two fifths of categories, but substantial differences between fields: A paper is 7.3 times more likely to have a female first author in Obstetrics and Gynecology than in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. Only three fields had a female last author majority by 2018, a probable side effect of ongoing problems with appointing female leaders. Female first-authored research tended to be more cited than male first-authored research in most fields (59%), although with a maximum difference of only 5.1% (log-transformed normalised citations). In contrast, male last-authored research tends to be more cited than female last-authored research, perhaps due to cases where a senior male has attracted substantial funding for a project. These differences increase if team sizes are not accounted for in the calculations. Since female first-authored research is cited slightly more than male first-authored research, properly analysed bibliometric data considering career gaps should not disadvantage female candidates for senior roles

The Research Space: using the career paths of scholars to predict the evolution of the research output of individuals, institutions, and nations

In recent years scholars have built maps of science by connecting the academic fields that cite each other, are cited together, or that cite a similar literature. But since scholars cannot always publish in the fields they cite, or that cite them, these science maps are only rough proxies for the potential of a scholar, organization, or country, to enter a new academic field. Here we use a large dataset of scholarly publications disambiguated at the individual level to create a map of science-or research space-where links connect pairs of fields based on the probability that an individual has published in both of them. We find that the research space is a significantly more accurate predictor of the fields that individuals and organizations will enter in the future than citation based science maps. At the country level, however, the research space and citations based science maps are equally accurate. These findings show that data on career trajectories-the set of fields that individuals have previously published in-provide more accurate predictors of future research output for more focalized units-such as individuals or organizations-than citation based science maps

Analysis and Visualization Data of Covid-19 Based on Scopus

This study analyzes the amount of documentation about COVID-19 by year, publication source, institution, country, type of document, and funding agency and maps it based on keywords. The research data was obtained through the Scopus database with the keywords novel corona virus or corona virus 2019 or covid 2019 and covid 19, which were further explored. For mapping, the Covid 19 data, the VOSviewer software was used. The findings show that there are 723 covid 19 documents, 569 of which can be accessed openly and 154 can be accessed by subscription. Most of the COVID-19 data published in the Journal of The American College of Radiology with the subject categories discussed were radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging. Huazhong University of Science and Technology is the most productive institution in producing covid 19 data. China is the country that produces the most covid data. The most type of Covid 19 data documents are articles with the most medicine subject category. Most of the funding sponsors were awarded by the National Science Foundation of China. The visualization of the covid 19 data was mapped into 5 clusters with the most groups from each cluster being cluster 1 being severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, cluster 2 coronavirus disease 2019, cluster 3 fever (fever), cluster 4 epidemiology, cluster 5 disease severity

Pediatría: un enfoque integral desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad

El término pediatría surge del griego paidos (niño) e iatrea (curación). Inicialmente, la pediatría fue descrita como una de las ramas independientes de la medicina en Europa Central durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX; se independizó de áreas como la obstetricia y la medicina interna de forma progresiva. Fue descrita por primera vez en 1722 en el tratado Paedojatreja práctica por el profesor de anatomía y teoría médica Theodor Zwinger de la Universidad de Basileam. Los escritos más antiguos de los que se tiene conocimiento de enfermedades en población pediátrica datan de 2100 a. de C., en donde primaba el componente mágico-religioso (1). En Colombia, sus primeros reportes inician en 1868 con el inicio de la época denominada «Segunda etapa de la medicina colombiana», tras la fundación de la Universidad de los Estados Unidos de Colombia en Bogotá, en donde se implementa la cátedra de obstetricia y patología especial de las mujeres y niños, por el médico y presidente Santos Acosta. Posteriormente, se separan las asignaturas de obstetricia y patología especial de las mujeres, originándose la cátedra opcional de patología e higiene de la infancia. En 1891, José Ignacio Barberi, bogotano graduado de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia en el año 1881, se convierte en el primer especialista en dictar la asignatura Clínica infantil. En 1911, con la cátedra de pediatría en la Universidad de Antioquia, nace la especialidad en ese departamento, y el 27 de julio de 1917 se funda la Sociedad Colombiana de Pediatría, la cual propende por el bienestar de los niños y adolescentes, su familia y la sociedad, para el desarrollo de la pediatría como disciplina del hombre (2,3)

A Facility-Based Study of the Impact of COVID-19 on Supply Chain Performance of HIV/AIDS Commodities in Anambra State, Nigeria

The COVID-19 pandemic and its induced lockdown resulted in huge disruptions that affected access to and availability of healthcare commodities at different levels of the supply chain system. An understanding of the pandemic impact in different areas will help in designing strategies to mitigate future disruptions. This study was designed to evaluate the supply chain performance of HIV/AIDS commodities through the review of key performance indicators in health facilities in Anambra State, Nigeria, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. A facility-based cross- sectional study was conducted across 27 selected health facilities in the state. Facilities were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected using a combination of a semi-structured questionnaire and observational checklists adapted from a previous study and the Logistics Indicators Assessment Tool (LIAT). Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23). A total number of 44 focal personnel managing the HIV/AIDS supply chain in 17 secondary health centres (SHCs) and 10 primary health centres (PHCs) participated in the study. Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (300/300/50mg) and Nevirapine 10mg/ml oral suspension were the two most available drugs at 85.19% and 78% respectively whereas Determine and Uni-Gold were the most available non- drug commodities at 92.59%, and 81.48% respectively during the lockdown period. The Stat-Pak test kit was stocked out in 30% of the facilities during the lockdown with emergency orders of at least one HIV commodity recorded in 37% of the facilities during this period. Expired products were recorded in 48% of the health facilities and this amounted to a loss of USD 4,027.25. The COVID-19 crisis exposed vulnerabilities in Anambra State's HIV/AIDS commodity supply chain. Instances of emergency orders, stock-outs, and wastage highlight the need for a more resilient system. Investing in an agile supply chain is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted access to essential healthcare commodities during disruptions
