Opportunities and challenges to implementing a coordinated social care network for patients with cancer: Perspectives of local community based organizations.

e18647 Background: Interest is growing in identifying and addressing health related social needs for patients with cancer. One proposed approach is the creation of coordinated social care networks (CSCNs) to facilitate access to community-based resources and communication between community-based organizations (CBOs) serving patients with cancer. However, little is known about the perspectives of CBO leaders’ perspectives of addressing address health-related social needs or participating in CSCNs to serve patients with cancer. Methods: We conducted qualitative interviews of CBO leaders in New Haven, CT to assess perceived barriers to and facilitators for joining a CSCN. We also assessed leaders' awareness of how their services align with cancer care guidelines to address social and material needs of patients with cancer. CBOs were identified through a resource inventory of all New Haven-based CBOs. We employed qualitative content analysis and applied the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to classify emergent themes. Results: Respondents (N = 15) representing food pantries (n = 3), transportation agencies (n = 2), financial assistance organizations (n = 2), cancer-specific advocacy groups (n = 2), homeless shelters (n = 1), and general service organizations (n = 5) participated. We identified four themes: COVID-19 impact, referral challenges to other CBOs, challenges addressing client needs, and barriers and facilitators to joining a CSCN. The strongest theme was challenges addressing client needs which aligns with the CFIR domains of inner setting and individual characteristics. For instance, CBO leaders identified significant challenges with providing resources for patients with cancer due to lack of knowledge of client’s diagnosis. The theme of referral challenges to other CBOs, which aligns with the intervention CFIR domain, was exemplified by sentiments of limited funding and resources, lack of availability of information, and desire for client privacy. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was a theme relevant to both the individual and inner setting CFIR domains, particularly given its lasting effect on both the general community and patients with cancer utilizing CBOs at a higher rate, contributing to longer waitlists. Lastly, barriers to and facilitators of joining a CSCN largely align with the process CFIR domain. Respondents noted that lack of funding and resistance to adapting new technologies were barriers to implementing a CSCN in the New Haven area. Conclusions: While CSCNs may be a helpful mechanism to increase coordination between CBOs to help patients with cancer, critical barriers such as capacity, funding, and technology resistance may hinder implementation.

Incorporated neighborhood and environmental effects to model individual-tree height using random forest regression

ABSTRACT In forest resource inventory, tree height is often estimated by easily measurable diameter from height-diameter model. In this study, we tried to use random forest (RF), an important machine learning method, to model individual-tree height. Results showed that the optimized RF model had better fitting and prediction accuracy (R 2 = 0.8146 and RMSE = 2.2527 m). In terms of relative importance, diameter at breast height (DBH) was the most important factor, followed by neighborhood-related variables and other variables related to environmental conditions. Further, tree height was generally positively affected by DBH, mean diameter of neighbors, DBH dominance, number of neighbors, and mean annual precipitation, but negatively affected by elevation. The results indicated that the RF-based height model was statistically reliable and highly accurate, and it had strong interpretability with ecological significance. Our study will provide a new perspective for the application of machine learning algorithms to forest dynamic modeling.

Rational use of forest land honey reserve for honey collection of the Toratau geopark of the Republic of Bashkortostan

Besides obtaining valuable beekeeping products, bee families have a positive effect when pollinating forest plants, ensuring both high productivity of resources and promoting the conservation and favourable development of natural populations of forest species. The object of the study, the lands of the forest fund of the Toratau geopark of the Republic of Bashkortostan, serve as an optimization of the number, expansion of the range and maintaining the genetic purity of the population of the indigenous Burzyan side bee (Apis mellifera L). There needs to be more information on the inventory of honey resources on the territory of the Geopark. Therefore, the goal was to determine the honey stock of forest land for productive medical collection and rational use of resources. As a result of research, land with an area of 479,640 hectares was covered with forest, which includes significant territories of linden stands (213335 hectares - 44.5%) and broad-leaved forest that does not have nectarines of linden and maple (194924 ha - 40.6%). Lipnyak is characterized by a biological resource potential of 96117283.3 kg and a broad-leaved forest, respectively, 904447.36 kg. The total estimated honey reserve of the territory of the Republic of Belarus mountain-forest zone consists of 104 595 108 kg, which will allow for keeping up to 560,704 bee families. Small-leaved linden accounts for 89.3%, located extremely unevenly in the studied territory. In the years favourable for the production of linden, the organization of nomadic beekeeping is necessary. The share of nectar reserves of maple, willow and grassy communities relative to but is small and amounts to 9.6%. However, given the instability of colour and nectar release of linden, the presence of alternative sources of nectar allows the preservation of the number of stationary bee families in the “lean years.”

Mental health care in the city of Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo: Analysis of demand, supply and operational response capacity of the health district of Tshamilemba.

Integrating mental health care into the primary care system is an important policy option in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). From the perspective of the integration of mental health care in district health services, this study analyzed the existing demand and supply of mental health care in the health district of Tshamilemba, which is located in Lubumbashi, the second largest city of the DRC. We critically examined the district's operational response capacity to address mental health. A multimethod cross-sectional exploratory study was carried out. We conducted a documentary review (including an analysis of the routine health information system) from the health district of Tshamilemba. We further organized a household survey to which 591 residents responded and conducted 5 focus group discussions (FGDs) with 50 key stakeholders (doctors, nurses, managers, community health workers and leaders, health care users). The demand for mental health care was analyzed through the assessment of the burden of mental health problems and care-seeking behaviors. The burden of mental disorders was assessed by calculating a morbidity indicator (proportion of mental health cases) and through a qualitative analysis of the psychosocial consequences as perceived by the participants. Care-seeking behavior was analyzed by calculating health service utilization indicators and more specifically the relative frequency of mental health complaints in primary health care centers, and by analyzing FGDs participants' reports. The mental health care supply available was described by using the qualitative analysis of the declarations of the participants (providers and users of care) to the FGDs and by analyzing the package of care available in the primary health care centers. Finally, the district's operational response capacity was assessed by making an inventory of all available resources and by analyzing qualitative data provided by health providers and managers regarding the district' capacity to address mental health conditions. Analysis of technical documents indicated that the burden of mental health problems is a major public problem in Lubumbashi. However, the proportion of mental health cases among the general patient population seen in the outpatient curative consultations in the Tshamilemba district remains very low, at an estimated 5.3%. The interviews not only pointed to a clear demand for mental health care but also indicated that there is currently hardly any offer of care available in the district. There are no dedicated psychiatric beds, nor is there a psychiatrist or psychologist available. Participants in the FGDs stated that in this context, the main source of care for people remains traditional medicine. Our findings show a clear demand for mental health care and a lack of formal mental health care supply in the Tshamilemba district. Moreover, this district lacks adequate operational capacity to meet the mental health needs of the population. Traditional African medicine is currently the main source of mental health care in this health district. Identifying concrete priority mental health actions to address this gap, by making evidence-based mental care available, is therefore of great relevance.

Species Diversity and Distribution of Non-volant Small Mammal between Restoration, Boundary, Disturbed and Undisturbed Area in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.

Deforestation in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia has increased significantly in the past few years to accommodate the growing population of Cameron Highlands. This led to a rapid urbanisation in Cameron Highlands which increased anthropogenic activities, causing degradation of the natural environment. Such environmental changes highlight the necessity of wildlife and resource inventories of available forested areas to improve existing conservation and management plans, especially for threatened taxa such as the non-volant small mammals. However, very few studies are known to focus on the effect of deforestation on non-volant small mammals, especially in the adjacent forest. This survey aimed to document non-volant small mammals from four habitat types (restoration areas, boundary, disturbed and undisturbed areas) of Terla A and Bertam, and undisturbed forest of Bukit Bujang Forest Reserve, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Samplings were conducted in two phases between August 2020 to January 2021. A total of 80 live traps were deployed along the transect lines in all three study sites, and 10 camera traps were set randomly in each forested area. Results demonstrated that species diversity (H') is higher at Terla A Forest Reserve compared to Bertam and Bukit Bujang Forest Reserve. In contrast, species diversity in the boundary area (S = 8, H' = 2.025) and disturbed forest area (S = 8, H' = 1.992) had similar number of species (S) compared to others study habitat; restoration area had the lowest species diversity (S = 3, H' = 0.950). Berylmys bowersi was the most captured species from trappings and Lariscus insignis was the most frequently recorded species from camera trappings for all study sites. The results of the survey provided new information on non-volant small mammals in Cameron Highlands for future research, conservation, and management.

Evolution of the life cycle of residential buildings in Andalusia: Economic and environmental evaluation of their direct and indirect impacts

This article presents a methodology to forecast, the environmental and economic impacts during the building life cycle. Residential buildings in Andalusia are studied during their useful life, from conception to demolition. To this end, the indicators of the footprint family, carbon, water, and ecological footprints, and that of embodied energy have been adapted for the evaluation of each phase of the cycle: transformation of land use (urbanisation), construction, maintenance, and finally, demolition. The maintenance frequency and life expectancy of the construction elements are defined, as are the monetary and environmental updates. The budgets and the construction cost databases of each project taking place during the useful life are used for the resource inventories. The methodology enables the sources of greatest impact in each phase to be located, thereby facilitating the evaluation of the future effects of the design. Of the total impacts, 60% are incurred during the construction/renovation work and 40% during direct use, which indicates that efforts should not only be focused on the energy efficiency during use, but also during the manufacturing and commissioning of construction materials.

Quality of option B + prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV services in public hospitals of Gamo zone, Southern Ethiopia, mixed approach

BackgroundPrevention of mother-to-child transmission service is a comprehensive package of services planned to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. It is very crucial to determine the level of quality of PMTCT services in this study area since other studies in our country omitted several variables in each category of the Donobedian model. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the level of quality of option B + PMTCT of HIV services.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study design with both quantitative and qualitative data collection method was employed. Donabedian’s model was used to assess the level of quality of PMTCT service. A total of 422 pregnant women were used to assess the level of satisfaction of clients. An inventory of resources and direct observation was done to assess the quality of the input and output component of the Donobedian model respectively. In addition to satisfaction items, 12 output-related items were also used to assess quality in the output dimension. Finally, those hospitals that scored above 90% in each component of the Donovedian model were categorized as having good quality. Finally, twelve in-depth interviews were conducted to explore barriers to the quality of option B + PMTCT services. The qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method and finally, it was presented with the quantitative result through triangulation.ResultsNo hospitals simultaneously met the requirements for good quality in all three dimensions of option B + PMTCT service quality. Only one hospital out of the four hospitals met the requirements for good quality of PMTCT service in the input dimension. Regarding the process and output dimension's quality of PMTCT services, two of the hospitals met the criteria for good quality. One hospital out of the total exhibited poor performance in all three dimensions of service quality for option B + PMTCT services.ConclusionAccording to this study no hospitals simultaneously met the requirements for good quality in all three dimensions of option B + PMTCT service quality. PMTCT unit performance must be continuously monitored, reviewed, and supervised. To obtain the minimum required resources primary hospitals must be supported.

Genetic Diversity of Five Galician (Northwestern Spain) Local Primitive Bovine Breeds Using Pedigree Records

Characterization, inventory and monitoring trends of animal genetic resources of local breeds are crucial factors for the development of conservation strategies. Using genealogical information, the genetic diversity of five Spanish local bovine breeds located in the northwest of Spain in the region of Galicia, and called in the past Morenas Gallegas (Cachena, Caldelá, Frieiresa, Limiá and Vianesa), has been analysed. The results achieved a good quality of pedigree records in terms of integrity and deepness. In spite of the low census of the five breeds, (no more or even less than one thousand animals), the strategies developed for genetic diversity conservation since the end of the last century revealed positive results. An increase of generation intervals, the use of reproductive technologies and a higher animal exchange between herds are some strategies suggested to preserve the genetic diversity of the five Galician bovine breeds analysed

INVENTORY OF TOURISM RESOURCES OF THE MOUNTAIN AREA OF TEXCOCO, STATE OF MEXICO

Objective. To elaborate an inventory of tourism resources identified in the mountain area of Texcoco, which serve as an instrument for planning and organizing the local tourism system. Design/Methodology/Approach. We considered the application of a survey to the auxiliary authorities, as well as to local and external actors that would allow contextualizing the tourism dynamics in the area. The task was supported by field trips applying the ethnographic method. From the collected data, eight localities were selected within the characteristics, a greater number of tourism resources were identified. Results. It was determined that some of the selected localities have sufficient attributes to potentiate some of their resources as a strategy for local development. Limitations/Implications. The restriction to access information in local offices of the municipal government limited the approach to some resources; thus, self-reported data had to be constructed through the perception of some individuals. Conclusions. It is necessary to develop tourism land-planning instruments through mechanisms of management that include training for local actors on various topics for the sustainable use of tourism resources.

Analysis of the tourist offer of the Durres Region under the perspective of tourism stakeholders

This paper analyzes the tourist offer of the Durres Region from the perspective of tourism stakeholders, in accordance with the objectives set in the Albanian National Strategy for Sustainable Tourism Development 2019-2023 (Ministry of Tourism and Environment, 2018). The research method employed is qualitative, based on a questionnaire in the form of a semi-structured interview addressed to private operators, public operators, donors, and NGOs related to the sector, as well as training and educational institutions. The findings of the paper highlight the crucial importance of cooperation among the various operators in the tourism sector. They also point out the obligation of the local government to better discharge their duties concerning the management of public works, preparation of the tourist offers, organizing the inventory of tourism resources of the region, as well as the establishment and branding of the Durres Region as a tourist destination. For the private operators, the findings emphasize the need to improve the quality of service and focus a lot more on training and development of human resources.

Impacts of the world’s largest afforestation program (Three-North Afforestation Program) on desertification control in sandy land of China

ABSTRACT In order to control the desertification, large-scale afforestation programs have been attempted worldwide. Among them, China initiated the world’s largest afforestation program, Three-North Afforestation Program (TNAP, 1978–2050), in which the afforestation in sandy land has been questioned during the first 40 years. In fact, the contribution of the TNAP to vegetation establishment and its effectiveness in desertification control still remain unclear, which limited the further construction of the program. To answer the questions, we detected the dynamics of vegetation distribution (forest, shrubland, and grassland) and desertification status (slight, moderate, severe, and extremely severe) during 1978–2017 in the sandy land (45.5 million ha), by visual interpretation of 5-period remote sensing images with validation based on 3,100 sample plots from field surveys and 15,175 sample plots from the National Forest Resource Inventory. Vegetation degradation was identified by analysis combining the trends of net primary productivity and precipitation use efficiency. By Geographical Detector model, the driving forces of vegetation degradation (climate change, human activities, vegetation type, and sandy land type) were ranked and the contributions of the influential factors (climate change, human activities, and vegetation dynamics) to desertification changes were estimated. The results showed that for the 40 years, vegetation coverage increased by 0.5%, with increasing 113.8% and 338.8% of forest and shrubland, but decreasing 9.0% of grassland. Desertification area had little change while the overall intensity decreased. The TNAP contributed to desertification dynamics by 10.3%, which is lower than expected. Vegetation type was the dominant factor of vegetation degradation in general. Forest is less suitable for afforestation in sandy land than shrubland and grassland because of its lower stand establishment rate, higher degradation rate, and less contribution to desertification control. Thus, adjusting vegetation type to match local conditions (e.g., use shrub-land, grassland, and native species) and improving the vegetation resistance (e.g., transform monoculture forests into mixed forests, and make proper proportion for forest, shrubland, and grassland) was suggested. Our study provided specific and feasible strategies for further planning and implementation of TNAP, and references for vegetation restoration of sandy lands worldwide.

Individual tree segmentation and tree-counting using supervised clustering

Individual tree segmentation (ITS), or tree counting, is a fundamental work in precision forestry and agriculture processes. Rather than the time-consuming and labor-intensive manual inspection, computer vision has shown substantial prospects in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based applications; one such application includes the automatic tree-counting problem in the forest resource inventory. However, it is difficult to obtain individual trees owing to the particularity of tree canopy crowns, such as color graduality, shape uncertainty, and overlapping. In this study, we propose a learning framework based on supervised data clustering. Here, both ITS and tree counting can be obtained accurately and simultaneously from a two-dimensional (2D) top-view tree canopy crowns whether they are isolated, overlapped, or both. A pixel-precision classifier is used to recognize tree pixels or superpixels (a set of meaningful pixels), rather than using complex image preprocessing or feature construction techniques. The obtained tree superpixels are then grouped into individual trees by the proposed supervised clustering method. To obtain accurate ITS and tree counts, the similarity used for the clustering is “learned” from the user-supplied supervisions, rather than “pre-specified” or “grid-search” as in the existing state-of-the-art methods. This study also includes an extensive experimental comparison of homogenous and heterogeneous high-resolution images. The results demonstrate that our method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in both visualized ITS and numeric tree-counting results, even comparable to human vision. It achieves a counting accuracy of 99.16 % in terms of the R2 value and 2.2923 in terms of the pixel mean absolute error (MAE). These are 22.04 % higher and 8.727 lower, respectively, than those of the second-best method.

Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors in US College Students: A Pre-post Test Pilot Study

Purpose: Concerning rises in obesity and type 2 diabetes in college students warrants the investigation of potential mechanisms. The aim of this study was to (1) assess the association between Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) knowledge, perceived stress, and coping resources with changes in MetS risk factors in college students, and (2) examine differences between first-time on-campus and final-year college students. Methods: A pre-post study design over a 16-week semester examined changes in BMI and blood pressure of 43 undergraduate students (mean age 20.5 yrs. old, 86% female, 77% ethnic/racial minority). The MetS Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, and Coping Resources Inventory were administered at baseline. Mixed-effects linear regression and independent samples t-tests were computed. Results/findings: There were no significant associations between changes in MetS risk factors and MetS knowledge, perceived stress, and coping resources. Students on campus for the first time had higher increases in BMI and gained more weight compared to students in their final years of college ( P < .05). Conclusions: Findings from this preliminary study suggest that students attending college for the first time demonstrate poorer MetS risk factors compared to peers. Additional studies are needed to explore the causal mechanism driving poor health outcomes in first time college students.

Participatory inventory and nutritional evaluation of local forage resources for smallholder free-range beef production in semi-arid areas of South Africa

Feed scarcity is a major challenge facing free-range beef farming in semi-arid areas. Specifically, low quality and quantity of forage in rangelands and higher feeding costs are the main constraints limiting smallholder free-range beef farmers’ participation in mainstream beef markets. Using farmers’ participatory approaches, this study identified major locally available forage resources (LAFRs) and evaluated their nutritional value. A total of 40 free-ranging commercially orientated smallholder beef farmers were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires and tasked to identify LAFRs in the Cradock and Middelburg areas of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Chemical analysis was conducted for the most cited forages such as African sheepbush (Pentzia incana), sweet thorn (Vachellia karroo) leaves and pods, reed (Phragmites australis), lucerne (Medicago sativa) hay, natural pasture grasses (NPGs) and barbary fig, or prickly pear cactus, (Opuntia ficus-indica) cladodes collected from twelve participants’ farms. Feed shortage was ranked by more than 53% respondents as the main constraint to smallholder beef production. Regardless of the farming area, crude protein content of V. karroo leaves and pods averaging 18.8 and 19.5%, respectively, was higher than other LAFRs. However, V. karoo pods had relatively low ash content than other forages in both farming areas. Opuntia ficus-indica attained high in vitro neutral detergent fibre digestibility at 12, 24 and 48 hr incubation periods, due to low neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and acid detergent lignin. Integration of participatory inventory and chemical analysis proved to be reliable in identifying LAFRs, with V. karroo leaves and O. ficus-indica cladodes being the main potential forage resources for inclusion in beef cattle diets. Further research is recommended to substantiate their supplementary nutritive value and level of inclusion in beef cattle finishing diets.

Additions to angiosperm diversity in Bhadrak region of Odisha, India

This paper deals with the list of flowering plants from the Bhadrak district, Odisha, India. A total of 141 taxa (81 native species and 60 exotic species) have been recorded comprising 81 herbs, 22 climbers, 21 trees, and 17 shrubs that are distributed in 115 genera, represented in 48 families, three major clades, and 23 orders as per the APG IV classification. Lamids account for about 33.3% of the taxa. The family Fabaceae is the most species-diverse (14 species), followed by Convolvulaceae (10 species), Acanthaceae (9 species) and Poaceae (7 species). Of the total 141 plant species, most are economically useful as medicinal plants, and others are valuable as edible fruits, ornamentals, and fodders. It is believed that this inventory of angiosperm plant resources of the district provides a comprehensive and updated checklist of the floristic diversity of the Bhadrak district, Odisha.

Организационно-экономический механизм закупочной деятельности предприятий нефтяной отрасли: методический аспект

Current legislation in the field of public procurement focuses on ensuring maximum transparency and openness of procurement at different stages of its implementation. However, at present, the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of procurement by commercial organizations is imperfect. The research topic is relevant. The purpose of the study is to develop the fundamentals of methodological support for the procurement system of oil refineries. The object of the study is the oil company LLC “LUKOIL – PERM” in the “geological exploration, oil and gas production” segment. The theory and practice of the mechanism for carrying out procurement activities of oil producing enterprises is the subject of research. The concepts and types of procurement, legal regulation of procurement activities in commercial organizations are revealed. An analysis of methods for assessing the effectiveness of procurement is provided. Systematization of information and technological support for procurement activities at oil producing enterprises was carried out. The main factors for assessing the effectiveness of the existing procurement system are identified: price, reliability and time. Based on the study of practical aspects, significant shortcomings were identified: procurement planning is unreliable, digital technology is not used enough, there is no system of criteria for assessing demand planning and procurement procedures. In this regard, in order to more accurately plan demand and apply fair prices, the corporate system of dictionaries and reference books (KSSS) of the LUKOIL Group has been improved. A system has been developed for assessing the effectiveness of procurement procedures in an oil producing company, which makes it possible to determine the effectiveness of inventories of material and technical resources (MTR) for all inventory items. A methodology has been developed for assessing the effectiveness of demand planning and budgets according to the data of the integrated management system of oil and gas producing subsidiaries (IMS NGDO). To determine the level of competition of potential counterparties, an original method for assessing the effectiveness of the supplier selection process is proposed. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the developed methodology in the practice of organizational and economic support for procurement at enterprises. The study may be useful for specialists involved in procurement activities, for managers and those making management decisions related to achieving the goals of sustainable development of the organization.

Influência do ambiente familiar, percepção parental e nível econômico no vocabulário receptivo de crianças

ABSTRACT Purpose: to examine the influence of familial environment, parental perception, and socioeconomic conditions on the receptive vocabulary of elementary school children. Methods: an analytical cross-sectional observational study. The students were selected by stratified proportional sampling, using the Receptive Vocabulary Test. Those responsible for the children answered the anamnesis and the inventory of family environmental resources. Initially, a bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, considering p<0.20. In the multivariate analysis of binary logistic regression, p<0.05 was considered, and the quality of the model was evaluated through the Hosmer-Lemeshow method. Results: out of the 263 students, 131 were males, 142 were in the third grade and were on average 7.6 years old (±0.57), and 111 had a low receptive vocabulary. In the bivariate analysis, there was a relationship between parental perception about learning to read and write, school failure, and the outcome (p<0.05). The variables environment, resources, and stability of family life were also used for multivariate analysis (p<0.20). Conclusion: Parental perception of difficulty in reading and writing and a lack of family stability were factors associated with poor receptive vocabulary.

Aprendizagem e comportamento de crianças durante o fechamento das escolas devido à COVID-19: perspectivas dos pais e professores

ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the association between caregivers' and teachers' perceptions of the changes imposed by social isolation and the impact on students' learning. Methods This is an analytical observational and longitudinal study, with the participation of 19 caregivers (family members) of 2nd-grade students from a public financing school and their respective teachers. The caregivers were submitted to interviews by means of the questionnaires: Abilities and Difficulties Questionnaire, Family Environment Resources Inventory and COVID-19 monitoring questionnaire that checks the behavior of schoolchildren and families. The collection took place in two moments by telephone call: the first moment (M1) was started in June 2020, and the second, (M2) in December 2020. The progress reports prepared by the regular teachers were received in January 2021. Results A negative implication was observed in the change of routine and an impact on the parents' lives. In parents' perceptions, significant and negative issues were also present in children's mental health, such as changes in routine. Teacher evaluation reports showed a similar pattern, with the vast majority of them lacking information about learning performance. Conclusion This study pointed out the importance of accompanying schoolchildren and families in a period of social withdrawal, in order to guide and intervene together with parents and teachers.
