This study shows the way in which sustainable learning through cooperation with parents is achieved before, during and after the lockdown period (COVID19) by applying systematic formative assessment. Therefore, as a result of this cooperation, through the planning and realization of the formative assessment, students' motivation is achieved, and this positively affects their sustainable learning. The study has a research character and points out the impact of feedback on student achievement from the perspective of parents and teachers. The study analysis is based on the quantitative data collected through a survey with parents (N = 21), qualitative data collected by the teacher through planning and implementation of the formative assessment and cooperation with parents through written comments. Based on the results of the findings, it is concluded that through timely interventions by teachers and cooperation with parents, gaps can be filled in, so that the children are informed appropriately and a real, reliable and systematic assessment is carried by the teachers.

The Covid19 pandemic has led to many publications about its influence on the treatment and evolution of individuals with a substance use disorder, leading to contradictory results. In this study, the adherence and abstinence rates of patients who started treatment in an Addictive Behavior Unit during the pandemic are analyzed, compared with others who attended the previous year and comparing those who were attended in person or by phone. The results indicate that during the Covid19 period, patients had greater adherence to treatment after one month of follow up and when attended to by phone. At 3 and 12 months, greater adherence was maintained, although it was not statistically significant. Regarding abstinence, the small sample size made it difficult to obtain significant differences. The conclusion is that, despite a quantitative decrease in the number of patients beginning drug treatment, in qualitative terms the pandemic led to greater adherence in the short and medium term. Telephone attention can play an important and positive role at this point, complementary to other resources and interventions.

Abstract Background Despite publications assuring no increased risk for acute cardiovascular events (excluding myocarditis) and sudden death following administration of COVID19 vaccines, these issues still stir much public ado. We assessed the risk for acute cardiovascular events that require hospitalization (excluding myocarditis) and for mortality in the short-term following administration of the second dose of the Pfizer COVID19 vaccine in Israel. Methods Using a self-controlled case series (SCCS) study design and national databases, all second-dose vaccinees, who had not been diagnosed with COVID19 and who had an acute cardiovascular event (acute myocardial infarction/acute stroke/acute thromboembolic event) that required hospitalization in the 60 days following vaccine administration between Jan 11th, 2021 and Oct 31st 2021, were included. A similar analysis was carried out for mortality. The first 30 days following vaccination were defined as risk period while the next 30 days were defined as control period. The probability for an event between these periods was compared using a conditional logistic regression model, accounting for sex, age group, background morbidity and seasonal risk. Results Out of 5,700,112 second dose vaccinees, 4,163 had an acute cardiovascular event in the 60 days following vaccine administration. Following exclusion of 106 due to technical considerations, 1,979 events occurred during the risk period and 2,078 during the control period: Odds ratio, OR = 0.95, 95% confidence interval, CI 0.90–1.01, p = 0.12. Adjusted OR was similar (OR = 0.88, 95%CI 0.72–1.08). Stratifying by age showed no increased risk in any age group. Mortality assessment indicated low number of events in both periods. These results were consistent in sensitivity analyses. Conclusions There was no increased risk for acute cardiovascular events (excluding myocarditis) in the risk period compared to the control period following administration of the second dose of Pfizer COVID19 vaccine. Mortality data raised no concerns either, but may have been biased.

Las fuentes condicionan la calidad y orientación de las noticias de salud y permiten explicar y humanizar los datos. Con el objetivo de conocer si hubo cambios en las fuentes periodísticas sobre salud tras la pandemia, se analizaron los contenidos de prensa, radio y televisión generalistas de gran audiencia en España y se entrevistó a 16 periodistas especializados. Los resultados cuantitativos muestran que los expertos son la fuente principal más frecuente tras la COVID19, seguidos de los pacientes y las instituciones del Estado, lo que supone un cambio significativo (p < 0,001) respecto a prepandemia, cuando las instituciones ocupaban el primer lugar. Cualitativamente, los periodistas de salud manifiestan su crítica y desconfianza hacia las fuentes oficiales. Se concluye que existen cambios y una evolución en las fuentes periodísticas de salud en España, que posteriores estudios determinarán si solo afecta a medios generalistas.

Hasil analisis dilakukan pada 7 artikel jurnal terpilih menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan telemedisin memiliki hubungan dengan kepuasan pasien selama pandemic covid19 (p=

In response to the record-breaking COVID19 recession, many governments have adopted unprecedented fiscal stimuli. While countercyclical fiscal policy is effective in fighting conventional recessions, little is known about the effectiveness of fiscal policy in the current environment with widespread shelter-in-place ("lockdown") policies and the associated considerable limits on economic activity. Using detailed regional variation in economic conditions, lockdown policies, and U.S. government spending, we document that the effects of government spending were stronger during the peak of the pandemic recession, but only in cities that were not subject to strong stay-at-home orders. We examine mechanisms that can account for our evidence and place our findings in the context of other recent evidence from microdata.

Abstract Initial studies on the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-2) S glycoprotein (“spike”) as a protein subunit vaccine suggested sub-optimal efficacy in mammals. Although protein engineering efforts have produced CoV-2 spike protein sequences with greatly improved immunogenicity, additional strategies for improving the immunogenicity of CoV-2 protein subunit vaccines are scaffolding and the use of adjuvants. Comparisons of the effectiveness of engineered protein-only and engineered protein-nanoparticles vaccines have been rare. To explore this knowledge gap, we inoculated mice with two doses of either sequence-optimized trimeric spike protein or one of several sequence-optimized spike nanoparticles. We measured their immune response up to two months after the first dose. We also measured the immune response and protection against live virus in hamsters inoculated with either sequence-optimized trimeric spike protein or a liposome-based sequence-optimized spike nanoparticle. We found that in the presence of adjuvant, the antibody and neutralization titers elicited by spike-nanoparticles were not significantly greater than those elicited by spike-only in mice, even at doses as low as 0.1 µg/animal. Hamsters vaccinated with spike-only or spike-nanoparticles were equally protected from live virus one month after their first inoculation. These results suggest that sequence-optimized protein subunit vaccines in the form of individual prefusion-stabilized trimers can be as effective in improving immunogenicity as scaffolded forms.
