Thirty-five years of personalized promotion. The contribution of medicine in the workplace

Abstract Issue/problem Occupational medicine has always had the task of identifying and solving problems caused by exposure to occupational risks and improving the health conditions of workers. This traditional prevention task can be advantageously associated with promotional activities to reduce the incidence of non-communicable diseases. Description of the problem Since the end of the 1980s we have conducted health promotion interventions in the workplace, integrated into the company’s occupational prevention plan. The results, discussed internationally, have allowed the improvement of projects such as the one presented here, aimed at the prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic risks. Results Workers carry out a clinical check integrated with blood chemistry tests, actigraphic measurement of physical activity and sleep, bioimpedance measurement and plicometry, to objectify the data of interest. Furthermore, they keep a food diary and answer questionnaires on lifestyle, stress, and sleep. They receive personalized non-pharmacological treatment aimed at making salutogenic changes to diet, sleep, physical activity, and relaxation methods. They are monitored monthly and carry out a follow-up after six months. The pilot study, conducted on 20 healthcare workers with previously undiagnosed metabolic problems, indicates a significant improvement in abdominal circumference, systolic blood pressure and sleep duration in the third month. Workers report a high level of satisfaction with the initiative, a lower level of occupational stress and a higher quality of sleep. Lessons Accumulated experience demonstrates that projects of this type are feasible, sustainable, and advantageous and can be applied to companies of all sizes, regardless of the quantity of resources available. Key messages • Health promotion in the workplace can contribute to the reduction of chronic non-communicable diseases. • The active participation of workers in health promotion activities contributes to improving job engagement and satisfaction derived from work.

Analysis of The Implementation of The Occupational Safety and Health Management System at Bhayangkara Kendari Hospital

Background: The occupational safety and health management system is part of the overall management system in the context of controlling work-related risks in order to create a safe, efficient and productive workplace. The aim of this research is to analyze the implementation of the occupational safety and health management system in hospitals. According to the management report of the Occupational Safety and Health committee at Bhayangkara Kendari Hospital in 2023, it was stated that the hospital had not carried out occupational risk management as part of the hospital’s occupational safety and health planning. Method: This research is a qualitative descriptive research method. There were 11 informants in the research. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Results: The results of the research show that Bhayangkara Kendari Hospital has implemented an Occupational Safety and Health Policy and Occupational Safety and Health risk management planning, but the results obtained in the Implementation of Occupational Safety and Health, Monitoring and Evaluation in the Hospital’s Occupational Safety and Health program do not meet standards. Optimal Occupational Safety and Health. Conclusion: Bhayangkara Kendari Hospital has implemented the Hospital Occupational Safety and Health policy in accordance with Minister of Health Regulation No. 66 of 2016 with a commitment to implementing Occupational Safety and Health, but is hampered by the unavailability of special health services. There are still health workers who provide health services without using personal protective equipment, and there are still those who violate the KTR and there are no monthly and annual evaluation reports on Hospital Occupational Safety and Health. This research can be used as reference material for hospitals to optimally implement Hospital Occupational Safety and Health to increase the knowledge of health workers in implementing occupational safety and health by familiarizing themselves with occupational safety and health cultural behavior.

Sectoral Differences in Depression Risk Among the Employed European Population

This paper analyses the relationship between gender, occupation, and depression in the population over 15 years of age, employed and residing in Europe. Using data from the European Health Survey, ordered econometric specifications are estimated for different sub-samples of individuals, according to the sector in which they are employed. The results show that gender is the most determining factor in the risk of depression, followed by the type of work schedule and other occupational characteristics of the individual. Thus, this article highlights the importance of considering the interaction between gender and occupation in the analysis of mental health. Finally, the implementation of mental health care policies for workers through occupational risk prevention plans is proposed as an effective way to address this issue.

Retention of teachers in special education schools and special education classes: The importance of social support and psychological empowerment

AbstractThe current study examined what makes special education teachers remain in the profession. We will examine this, uniquely, separately among teachers in special education schools versus special education classes in general education schools. Participants were 212 special education teachers in special education schools and 257 in special education classes. Teachers completed questionnaires on social support, psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and future occupational plans. Results revealed significant associations between social support, psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and teachers' future plans. In addition, teachers in special education classes experienced lower levels of perceived social support and psychological empowerment compared to those in special education schools. A non‐significant moderation effect was found for the association between social support, psychological empowerment and satisfaction, with the occupational plans of teachers in both contexts. These findings demonstrate the importance of providing support for and strengthening the sense of psychological empowerment of special education teachers, particularly those who teach in special education classes in general education schools.

"I will attend to college to give my family a better life": Indebtedness with the family and the challenges of building occupational plans for Peruvian adolescents.

Identifying a future occupation is an important achievement during adolescence, a process particularly complex for Peruvian adolescents. Perú is a postcolonial country with many forms of inequality, and one of them is the opportunity gap to attend a college. However, most adolescents aspire to go to university as a way out of poverty, and, since Perú is a collectivist society, this is a family task: it is adolescents' responsibility to go to college in order to give a better life to their families. Theories developed for WEIRD societies (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) do not provide an accurate explanation of Peruvian adolescents' occupational projects because they envision a person with autonomy and resources to choose a career. Thus, our goal is to analyze adolescents' occupational plans considering the role adolescent-caregivers relationships play in this configuration. This study is part of the project "Being an adolescent in Perú" (PUCP-UNICEF) which characterized Peruvian adolescence by studying 14 variables through a qualitative study with 66 participants. In depth interviews were conducted and the data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results of the thematic analysis are organized in three topics that explain the relationship between occupational plans and adolescent-caregiver relationship (1) adolescents have occupational aspirations rather than achievable projects that are that are built alone, without adult support; (2) attending college as an occupational aspiration belongs to the family, not to the individual operating also a kind of "debt" to pay to their caregivers for being financially supported to be able to study in high school; and (3) caregivers do not have the possibility or resources of being able to accompany their adolescent's occupational plans. We conclude that Peruvian adolescents think about their future within the framework of their family's needs, rather than linked to personal and occupational goals, impeding adolescents from exploring and selecting a realistic occupational goal consistent with their interests. The results allow us to discuss the relevance of studying adolescent development taking into account the particularities of the adolescents' cultural and socioeconomic contexts as well as the core role that relationship with caregivers plays in this process in Perú.

Evolution of China’s Right to Health Legislation: A Historical Analysis and Contemporary Insight into Occupational Health Protection

Health is said to be the fundament for personal survival and development, happiness, and is the source ofprosperity and social progress for any nation. During the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party in China, it was ascertained that the protection of people’s health was given greater priority over development strategies. This article explored the changes and evolution of health laws in China over the past seven decades and specifically focused on the recent changes made to the law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases and the Occupational Health Protection Action Plan. The occupational health protection action plan outlined the objectives and specific actions and emphasized the importance of a systematic approach to safeguarding the health rights of workers. This article summarized the potential opportunities for further research and policy considerations aimed at addressing challenges in the evolving landscape of occupational health in China.

Remote Work Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Health in Lagos, Nigeria: A Cross-sectional Study

Remote workers are at risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to the sedentary nature of their work and ergonomic safety compliance is a necessary control measure. This work evaluated ergonomic compliance and work-related musculoskeletal disorders among fully remote workers in Lagos. Following approval, 371 remote workers were recruited to participate in a cross-sectional study. They responded to a Questionnaire, the main study tool, which biodata, work information, knowledge of ergonomics, workstation compliance, level of support offered by employer to aid ergonomic compliance, behavioral factors, musculoskeletal disorder symptoms and medical Information regarding past and present diagnosis/ treatment. To support data on workspace compliance, physical and virtual observations were carried out on 361 workspaces. Collated data were analyzed using descriptive tools. The data analysis showed that a large percentage of remote workers, about 66.31% had high knowledge on ergonomics. However, a relatively lower percentage, about 23.36% had highly compliant workspaces. Only 8% were highly compliant based on behavioral patterns as a larger 48% fell into the low category. The study showed that only 15.36% of employers gave a very high level of support to encourage ergonomic compliance. The Most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder amongst the population studies is the lower back pain, which has been suffered by 90.5% of respondents at varying durations and levels. This was closely followed by the upper back pain at 85.7% then eye pain at 47.1. The study shows a positive correlation between Employer support and: ergonomic compliance based on workspaces, ergonomic compliance based on behavioral patterns as well as knowledge on ergonomics at 0.26828222, 0.151881985 and 0.188086546 respectively. There is an urgent need to educate employees on ergonomic safety, create effective occupational health plans tailored specifically for the remote work model, develop feasible measures for compliance checks, and work with authorities to enact laws to protect the health and safety of remote workers in the long run.

Content Validity Testing of a Novel Cognitive Screen, the Gaylord Occupational Therapy Cognitive (GOT-Cog), to Improve Inpatient Occupational Therapy Treatment Planning.

No single cognitive screen adequately captures all cognitive domains that are important for inpatient occupational therapy treatment planning. To quantify the content validity of a novel 22-item cognitive screen, the Gaylord Occupational Therapy Cognitive (GOT-Cog) screen, developed to better inform inpatient occupational therapy treatment planning. Delphi-style expert panel review. Long-term acute care hospital. The first panel was attended by four occupational therapists, two speech-language pathologists, one physician assistant, and two neuropsychologists; the second, by four occupational therapists, one speech-language pathologist, and one physician assistant. Each Delphi panel discussed the relevance, essentiality, and clarity of each item. After each discussion, panelists completed a content validity survey to summarize their evaluation of each item. On the basis of panelists' survey responses, item- and scale-level relevance, essentiality, and clarity were quantified by calculating the respective content validity index (CVI), content validity ratio (CVR), and content clarity index (CCI). Universal agreement (UA) and κ statistics were also calculated, as appropriate. Upon presenting the initial 23-item instrument covering 10 cognitive domains to the first Delphi panel, several questions were added, removed, or rewritten, resulting in a 22-item instrument representing nine domains. After the second panel, several questions were again rewritten, and the domains reorganized. All scale-level metrics improved, including CVI (from 0.87 to 1.0), UA (0.52 to 1.0), CVR (0.43 to 0.94), and CCI (2.26 to 2.92). GOT-Cog displays overall excellent content validity and can proceed to construct validity testing. Plain-Language Summary: By reporting on the content validity of the Gaylord Occupational Therapy Cognitive screen, this brief report begins the necessary process of evaluating the measure's overall validity and reliability.

Impact of the New Master Plan for Brasília Zoo 2057 - Brazil: A Comprehensive and Propositive Analysis

The research project entitled: “Environmental and Accessibility Requalification of the Brasília Zoo”, under development at the Laboratory of Sustainability Applied to Architecture and Urbanism (LaSUS) at the University of Brasilia (UnB), focuses on improving the accessibility and environmental interaction of the site. The “Master Plan for Occupation - Zoo 2057” proposes a reorganization of the Brasília Zoo with the goal of enhancing visitor experience and accommodating the needs of the animals in a more effective and sustainable manner. This plan includes a new zoning of the zoo, segmenting areas according to biomes, climates, and the taxonomy of species, which facilitates environmental education and species preservation. The proposed restructuring also emphasizes the importance of clear and defined paths for visitors, aiming to maximize accessibility and educational interaction. This is complemented by enhanced support infrastructure, such as clear signage and resting points, ensuring that the zoo is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Furthermore, the plan focuses on integration with the local community and the preservation of the natural environment, ensuring that the zoo functions as a sanctuary for fauna and as an educational space for the community. The proposal reflects efforts to align the Brasília Zoo with sustainable and inclusive practices, promoting both environmental conservation and animal welfare.

О СТАЊУ СРПСКОГ ЈЕЗИКА И ПИСМА У ОКУПИРАНОЈ СРБИЈИ ЗА ВРЕМЕ ВЕЛИКОГ РАТА (1915–1918) И О ПОТОЊИМ РЕЦИДИВИМА ТОГА СТАЊА

During the Great War (World War I), the Austro‑Hungarian occupier divided Serbia into two occupation zones: the western, Austro‑Hungarian, and the eastern, Bulgarian. The occupation government sought to destroy the political and national self‑awareness of Serbians by launching its propaganda Belgrade newspaper („Beogradske novine”) after banning all domestic newspapers. Newspapers were published in the so‑called „Serbo‑Croatian” („srpsko‑hrvatski”) language, in Ijekavic and Latin, under the editorship of foreigners, i.e. German and Austro‑Hungarian subjects. Forms of the Zagreb (Croatian) variant of the Serb language were imposed through language editing. In the areas that belonged to the Bulgarian occupation zone, a similar program was implemented as in Austro‑Hungarian zone, only not in the direction of Croatization, but Bulgarianization of the Serbian population (banning the use of the Serb language and script, Serb books, Serb personal names, Serb fame, etc.). However, certain occupation methods from the First World War and earlier times, contained in the fight against the Serbs through the denial of the Serb language and culture, will continue to last in later periods in the Serb ethnic areas, including Serbia. This will continue, in the new political circumstances, to coincide in many ways with the Austro‑Hungarian occupation plans from the First World War. Thus, in the fight against Serb identity and national features, the pro‑Croatian government of the CPY (Comunnist Party of Yugoslavia) and the communist leader J. Broz Tito accepted solutions from the time of the Austro‑Hungarian occupation of the Western Balkans, which were directly harmful to the Serbs. However, the collapse of the communist/socialist Yugoslavia (The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) did not bring significant changes to the Serbs regarding the preservation of the national script (the Cyrillic alphabet), as well as the name Serb language („српски језик”).

Factors Affecting Adherence to Lipid-lowering Drugs: A Scoping Review.

Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In developed countries, only 50% of patients with chronic illness adhere to their long-term therapy. This article aimed to review the factors affecting adherence to lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs). The searched articles were selected based on the available keywords in the title and abstract with the publication restricted between January 2010 and September 2020. Articles generated from the databases must fulfill both inclusion and exclusion criteria in the present systematic review. Our initial search retrieved 221 literature reviews. After excluding articles with irrelevant topics, a total of 23 articles were chosen for this current review. The factors were classified based on three main factors: patient-related, medication-related, and healthcare workers-related factors. For patient-related factors, gender, age, number of family members, education level, post-hospitalization, comorbidities and cardiovascular disease risk, follow-up status, occupation, socio-economy, insurance, perception, ethnicity, and health plan were among the factors affecting adherence to LLDs. As for medication-related factors, timing, polypharmacy, duration of treatment, generic medication, intensity of medication, side effects, initiating dose, packaging, drug dosing, and type of drugs were revealed as contributing factors. In the light of healthcare workers, related factors shown were counseling, medication optimization, type of provider, and location of the hospital. Recommendations to improve adherence include educating patients on the disease itself and the importance of the treatment, modification of the dosing, timing and type of LLDs, and effective consultations by healthcare workers. Further studies need to be done in Malaysia as there is inadequate research on this topic.

Evaluation of different composting systems on an industrial scale as a contribution to the circular economy and its impact on human health

ABSTRACT Due to the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), large-scale composting can cause air pollution and occupational health issues. Due to this, it is necessary to determine if the amount generated poses a health risk to plant workers, which can be a starting point for those in charge of composting plant facilities. As a result, the goal of this work is to conduct a thorough analysis of both the physicochemical features and the VOC generation of three large-scale systems. For ten weeks, the three different composting plants were monitored weekly, and VOC identification and quantification were performed using GC-MS gas chromatography. It has been observed that the biggest risk related with VOC formation occurs between the fourth and fifth weeks, when microbial activity is at its peak. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that xylenes and toluene are the ones that are produced in the greatest quantity. Finally, after ten weeks of processing, it was discovered that the material obtained complies with the regulations for the sale of an amendment. Implications: The evaluation and monitoring of the composting processes at an industrial scale is very important, due to the implications they bring. VOCs are produced by the operation of composting facilities with substantial amounts of solid waste, such as the companies in this study. These may pose a health risk to those working in the plants; thus, it is critical to understand where the VOCs occur in the process in order to maintain workers’ occupational health measures. This form of evaluation is rare or nonexistent in Colombia, which is why conducting this type of study is critical, as it will provide crucial input into determining when the highest levels of VOC generation occur. These are the ones that may pose a risk at some point, but with proper occupational safety planning, said risk may be avoided. This work has evaluated three composting systems, with different types of waste and mixtures. According to reports, while composting systems continue to produce VOCs and their generation is unavoidable, the potential risk exists only within the plant. These findings can pave the way for the implementation of public policies that will improve the design and operation of composting plants. There is no specific legislation in Colombia for the design and execution of this sort of technology, which allows the use of organic waste

Multitemporal relative landslide exposure and risk analysis for the sustainable development of rapidly growing cities

In recent decades, developing countries have experienced an increase in the impact of natural disasters due to ongoing climate change and the sustained expansion of urban areas. The intrinsic vulnerability of settlements, due to poverty and poor governance, as well as the lack of tools for urban occupation planning and mitigation protocols, has made such impacts particularly severe. Cuenca (Ecuador) is a significant example of a city that in recent decades has experienced considerable population growth (i.e. exposure) and an associated increase in loss due to landslide occurrence. Despite such effects, updated urban planning tools are absent, so an evaluation of multitemporal exposure to landslides and related risks is required. In this perspective, a potential urban planning tool is presented based on updated data depicting the spatial distribution of landslides and their predisposing factors, as well as population change between 2010 and 2020. In addition, a multitemporal analysis accounting for changes in exposure between 2010 and 2020 and an estimation of relative landside risk was carried out. Due to the absence of spatially distributed population data, energy supply contract data have been used as a proxy of the population. The results show that the current higher exposure and related relative risk are estimated for parishes (parroquias) located in the southern sector of the study area (i.e. Turi, Santa Ana, Tarqui, Nulti, Baños and Paccha). Moreover, the exposure multitemporal analysis indicates that most parishes located in the hilly areas bounding the city centre (i.e. Sayausi, San Joaquin, Tarqui, Sidcay, Baños, Ricaurte, Paccha and Chiquintad) are experiencing sustained population growth and will be potentially exposed to an increased risk with a consistently growing trend. The obtained relative risk map can be considered a valuable tool for guiding land planning, land management, occupation restriction and early warning strategy adoption in the area. The methodological approach used, which accounts for landslide susceptibility and population variation through proxy data analysis, has the potential to be applied in a similar context of growing population cities in low- to mid-income countries, where data usually needed for a comprehensive landslide risk analysis are non-existing or only partially available.

Plan Dalet, the Palestine Nakba and Theatre: Decoding the Diacritics of the 1948 Nakba in Hannah Khalil’s Plan D

This article scrutinises the disastrous impacts of Israeli occupation on Palestinians in the Palestinian-Irish playwright Hannah Khalil’s Plan D (2010) by decoding the diacritics of the Palestine Nakba of 1948. Plan Dalet was a Zionist master plan for the military occupation of Palestine and the plan became central to the Zionist expulsion of the Palestinians and Palestine Nakba in 1948. Khalil’s play ( Plan D) portrays a rustic family undergoing a crisis against a background of enforced mass deportation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948. The playwright gives a voice to the victimised Palestinians as the play represents an indictment of ecological imperialism which weighs upon Palestinians who are crammed into unlivable ghettos. Khalil’s attachment to her native environment shapes the portrayal of her characters and their environment which is exposed to demographical changes and distortion by reason of the Nakba. Psychologically, the play delves deeply into the tragedy of Palestinians who are forcibly deported from their farm houses to live in other ecological units such as the woods and outskirt camps and how they adapt to the new-found ecology as a survival mechanism aloof from the unscrupulous aggression of occupation. Put differently, it dismantles the diacritics of the plight of Palestinians and deconstructs projections of otherness in order to find an ecological outlet for them to rethink their life-threatening crisis.

Construct validity test on the Indonesian version of Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES)

This study aimed to assess the construct validity of Indonesian version of the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES) by conducting a convergent evidence test. This version comprised 30 items that measured individual confidence in making career-related decision across seven dimensions, including occupational information (OI), goal selection (GS), self-appraisal (SA), school achievement (ScA), problem-solving (PS), social support (SS), and planning. Despite passing the content validity test, CDSES-Indonesian version lacked psychometric properties in terms of convergent evidence. A construct validation analysis was carried out, incorporating the NEO-PI instruments developed by Costa & McCrae in 1992 into CDSES-Indonesia version. This study involved 211 respondents, including 123 women and 88 men aged between 17 and 35, all being university students. Google Form was used as a platform to distribute the questionnaires for the two measuring instruments to the participants. The results showed a significant relationship between CDSES and personality traits. Four personality traits, namely conscientiousness, openness, extraversion, and agreeableness, exhibited positive correlations with CDSES, while neuroticism showed a negative relationship.

CRIMES OF THE ARMENIAN FORMATIONS AGAINST THE AZERBAIJANI PEOPLE: IN THE STATEMENT OF HISTORICAL FACTS

      The history of the crimes committed by the Armenian formations and their patrons against the Azerbaijani people has more than 200 years. From the 16th century, new centralized states that arose in Europe and in its east began to wage colonial wars for the acquisition of new lands. In the military-occupation and colonial policy of the Russian Empire, formed in the first half of the 18th century, the South Caucasus, in particular Azerbaijan, occupied a special place. The military-political circles of the Russian Empire preferred to use the Armenians as an instrument of death to implement the occupation plan. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, tsarist Russia resettled more than 1.3 million Armenians from the territory of Iran (during the reign of the Qajar dynasty) and the Ottoman Empire to the South Caucasus. Hostile military-political circles in 1905-1906. royal, in 1918-1920. Soviet Russia, also France, USA and Great Britain; in 1920-1991 THE USSR; and in 1992-2020, along with the Western powers, the Russian Federation continued to use the Armenians as a tool of death to carry out their dirty plans. The Patriotic War, launched by the people of Azerbaijan on September 27, 2020 for the liberation of Karabakh, not only destroyed Armenian fascism, but also frustrated the hostile plans of its patrons. This purposeful policy of the tsarist government continued throughout the 19th century, and as a result, many Armenians resettled in the territory of Northern Azerbaijan. As the tsarist official and publicist N. Shavrov wrote in 1911: “1 million Armenians out of 1 million 300,000 were not local. They were resettled by us." At the beginning of the 20th century, their main patron in the South Caucasus was the Caucasian governor I.I. Vorontsov-Dashkov. In his letter to Nicholas II dated October 12, 1912, he wrote: “By patronizing the Armenians, who always provide us with great services, we have received faithful allies.” The essence of the destructive colonial policy of the Russian Empire in the South Caucasus, accompanied by national conflicts in this region, was perfectly described by Ismail Khan Ziyadkhanov, deputy of the First State Duma from the Elizavetpol province (Ganja - J.B.). During the discussions on the clashes between the Tatars (Azerbaijanis - J.B.) and Armenians in Irevan and on measures to ensure the safety of the population at the 25th meeting of the 1st session of the 1st convocation, held on June 12, 1906, he said: “They told us Muslims: you have been economically enslaved by the Armenians, they are well armed, intending to create their own kingdom, and one day you will see that you are no more. Armenians were told that the idea of pan-Islamism was deeply rooted in all sections of Muslim society and that one day the Muslims would cut you to pieces. The provocation was carried out in this way.  In February 1917, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Provisional Government was formed. By the decision of the Provisional Government, adopted on March 3 of the same year, a special committee for the management of the South Caucasus, OZAKOM, was established. On October 26, 1917, after a military coup in Russia, the Bolsheviks seized power in Petrograd. The state independence of Poland, Finland and the Baltic countries was recognized in accordance with the documents signed by the chairman of the NCC, V.I. Lenin. However, among the countries of the South Caucasus, the state independence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was not recognized. The main reason for this was not to lose Baku oil. For this reason, the Bolsheviks, who seized power by force, toughened the character of the tsarist colonial policy towards Northern Azerbaijan. The history of the crimes committed by the Armenian fascism against the Azerbaijani people as a tool in the hands of the imperialist states in the 18th-20th centuries is confirmed on the basis of the facts reflected in archival documents and published scientific works. The cited archival documents and scientific sources unambiguously state that as a result of the use of Armenians by the imperialist powers as a tool for the implementation of their aggressive plans, the territories of the Azerbaijani people were occupied and divided, a policy of ethnic cleansing and deportation was carried out. Acts of genocide were committed. As a result, the people of Azerbaijan suffered heavy human and land losses. The Patriotic War, which began on September 27, 2020 and ended with the victory of the Azerbaijani people on November 8, 2020, within 44 days, along with the destruction of Armenian fascism, laid the foundation for the return of what was lost over all periods of history.

A qualitative analysis of the main factors in bed management in high complexity hospital emergencies

Overcrowding in the emergency department is a problem that generates several implications for bed management, which is deemed one of a hospital's most critical processes. Effective management of hospital production capacity includes bed management processes, which can be improved in order to leverage hospital performance. Thus, this study sought to understand how bed management works and identify the main factors that influence its management. The study was performed through a case study, with data collected from semi-structured interviews and bibliographic research, which were triangulated. Thematic content analysis of the interviews and cross-analysis were performed. As a result, the main factors that influence hospital Bed management were identified: communication between teams and units; definition of performance goals; decisions shared between units; occupation and discharge planning by the teams; length of stay; the role of the nurses; and COVID-19. The greatest difficulties in the management process are related to these factors. Additionally, suggestions are provided to mitigate such reported difficulties.

Using passive Wi-Fi for community crowd sensing during the COVID-19 pandemic

Sensing passersby and detecting crowded locations is a growing area of research and development in the last decades. The COVID-19 pandemic compelled authorities and public and private institutions to monitor access and occupancy of crowded spaces. This work addresses the detection of crowds in points of interest (POI) by using a territory grid analysis categorizing POIs by the services available in each location and comparing data gathered from a community passive Wi-Fi infrastructure against mobile cellular tower association data from telecom companies. In Madeira islands (Portugal), we used data from the telecom provider NOS for the timespan of 4 months as ground truth and found a strong correlation with sparse passive Wi-Fi. An official regional mobile application shows the occupancy data to end-users based on the territory categorization and the passive Wi-Fi infrastructure in POIs. Occupancy data shows historical hourly trends of each location, and the real-time occupation, helping visitors and locals plan their commutes better to avoid crowded spaces.
