Introduction: Living conditions are the objective conditions in which human beings reproduce their social and individual existence. Objective: To describe the living conditions of the population in four family doctor and nurse's offices. Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out during the period 2016-2019 in four family doctor and nurse's offices, chosen by feasibility. A total of 775 individuals were studied, together with the following variables: of sociodemographical type, family classification, perception of economic situation, family problems and solutions to these problems, as well as living conditions. The data were entered into an Access database and processed with the statistical package SPSS version, 20.0 for Windows. Results: The age range 70-74 predominated (87/11.2 percent). The highest level of schooling was a technical associate (265/34.2 percent). The state-employed worker predominated as occupational status (260/33.5 percent). A significant number of housewives and retirees had the highest level of education completed, senior high school or lower. Small and nuclear families predominated; 268 (34.6 percent) lived in nuclear families with older adults only. Perception about the economic situation was fair for both the individual (411/53.0 percent) and the family (418/53.9 percent). Regarding household appliances, most of the respondents referred they have five of the six first-need appliances; concerning second-need appliances in the dwellings, there was a deficit of air conditioning, microwave oven, sewing machine, computer, video player, freezer, water heater, telephone, or electric stove. Conclusions: Living conditions express differences according to age, level of schooling, occupational status, and perception of the economic situation(AU)

Quinoa, potatoes, and llamas fueled emergent social complexity in the Lake Titicaca Basin of the Andes.

The Lake Titicaca basin was one of the major centers for cultural development in the ancient world. This lacustrine environment is unique in the high, dry Andean altiplano, and its aquatic and terrestrial resources are thought to have contributed to the florescence of complex societies in this region. Nevertheless, it remains unclear to what extent local aquatic resources, particularly fish, and the introduced crop, maize, which can be grown in regions along the lakeshores, contributed to facilitating sustained food production and population growth, which underpinned increasing social political complexity starting in the Formative Period (1400 BCE to 500 CE) and culminating with the Tiwanaku state (500 to 1100 CE). Here, we present direct dietary evidence from stable isotope analysis of human skeletal remains spanning over two millennia, together with faunal and floral reference materials, to reconstruct foodways and ecological interactions in southern Lake Titicaca over time. Bulk stable isotope analysis, coupled with compound-specific amino acid stable isotope analysis, allows better discrimination between resources consumed across aquatic and terrestrial environments. Together, this evidence demonstrates that human diets predominantly relied on C3 plants, particularly quinoa and tubers, along with terrestrial animals, notably domestic camelids. Surprisingly, fish were not a significant source of animal protein, but a slight increase in C4 plant consumption verifies the increasing importance of maize in the Middle Horizon. These results underscore the primary role of local terrestrial food resources in securing a nutritious diet that allowed for sustained population growth, even in the face of documented climate and political change across these periods.

Relationships between urbanization and CO2 emissions in China: An empirical analysis of population migration.

China's announcement of its goal of carbon neutrality has increased the practical significance of research on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that result from urbanization. With a comprehensive consideration of population migration in China, this study examines the impact of urbanization on CO2 emissions based on provincial panel data from 2000 to 2012. Two indicators (resident population and household registration population) are used to measure urbanization rate. The results reveal that the impact of urbanization on CO2 emissions in China is closely correlated with the structure of urban resident population and interregional population migration. The estimation results are still robust by using generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator and two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimator. The proportion of temporary residents is introduced as a proxy variable for population migration. The panel threshold model regression results show that the proportion of temporary residents has a marginal effect on the relationship between urbanization and CO2 emissions. In regions with a higher proportion of temporary residents, the positive effects of resident population urbanization on CO2 emissions tend to be weaker. These findings are consistent with the theories of ecological modernization and urban environmental transition. This paper makes suggestions on China's urbanization development model and countermeasures are proposed to minimize the CO2 emissions caused by urbanization.

The effect of medical and social conditions on the mode of delivery: a prospective questionnaire-based study applied to 404 Turkish obstetricians.

PURPOSE: To identify the factors that influence provider's decisions on method of delivery in a country where national cesarean delivery rate (CDR) among all births increased steadily from 21 to 56% in a 16-year period. METHODS: We planned nine birth scenarios, in which both delivery modes were plausible, and we used self-administered questionnaire to ask obstetricians for their preferred mode of delivery in these scenarios. If the choice was cesarean delivery (CD), the provider was asked to state the reason for choosing this method. We grouped respondents according to number of years in their occupation, working sector (state, university or private hospital) and academic degree. RESULTS: Four hundred and four obstetricians completed the questionnaire. Preference for CD in all scenarios was comparable between male and female obstetricians (p = 0.334) and between specialists, associate professors and professors (p = 0.812). The most frequent reason for choice of CD in all nine scenarios was fear of fetal risk and/or fear of litigation. CONCLUSION: Fear of litigation was found to be the major factor influencing CD choice. This fear not only increases the CDR but also results in loss of training in breech delivery and operative vaginal delivery, forming a vicious cycle.

Trend of social iniquities in reports of sexual violence in Brazil between 2010 and 2014. / Tendência das iniquidades sociais nas notificações de violência sexual no Brasil entre 2010 e 2014.

INTRODUCTION: Sexual violence has emerged in the health field with changes in the epidemiological profiles of populations. METHODOLOGY: An ecological study with 5,565 Brazilian municipalities between 2010 and 2014. A descriptive analysis of the variables (Population rate of sexual violence reporting, household income per capita and HDI) and their stratification by quintile was performed. In order to explore the factors associated with changes in social inequalities regarding the rate of reporting of sexual violence, the Slope Index of Inequality and Relative Index of Inequality were adopted. An Equiplot was constructed for the outcome on each independent variable. RESULTS: The mean rate of reports of sexual violence in Brazil was 4.38 reports/100,000 inhabitants for the period. There was an increase in the rate of sexual violence and improvement in socioeconomic conditions. There was a higher rate of reporting in the quintile with better living conditions. An increase in the inequality of the rate of sexual violence as a function of household income and the HDI was observed. Several factors seem to influence the increase of reports of sexual violence in the country, among them the improvement in the living conditions of the population and greater moral sensitivity to violence. However, there is still a disparity in reporting among municipalities according to their socioeconomic status. CONCLUSION: The lack of public policies on social equity in health has interfered with reports of sexual violence in the country and has widened health inequities.

Conference Report on First Certificate Course in Health Professions Educationat College of Medicine, University of Kerbala, Iraq.(September 2019).

The current status of medical education in Iraq requires complete transformation to conform to the latest trends of modern education. Presently it is compromised due to the influence of political factors, finances, weakness or fragility of planning and security. It has to be re-shaped for the future of medical education to produce good and efficient medical professionals. It is necessary to reform and revise the curriculum as accreditation in accordance with international medical universities. The initial requirement is faculty development in areas including but not limited to, curriculum development, teaching and learning improvement, research capacity building, and leadership development. The capacity building of faculty at College of Medicine, University of Kerbala (CMUCK) has been initiated in collaboration with Medics International at a local and the government level. Medics International conducted the current Course on Certificate in Health Professions Education (CHPE) programme in September, 2019 to facilitate the faculty to revise their curriculum and improve their current educational practices. Further steps will be taken to develop the faculty for Masters in Medical Education (MME), PhD, and fellowship programmes. To face the on-going challenges in the medical and health care system, continous efforts are required for faculty education. Medics International has volunteered to begin a series of Webinars through its global faculty to reach out to the Iraqi Board followed by engagement of the Arab Board covering 18 countries.

Pandemia y ansiedad social / Pandemic and social anxiety

La pandemia del COVID-19 ha generado una crisis en el ser humano y en su contexto de cómo vivir ante lo desconocido, estableciendo parámetros de un desequilibrio de la salud mental y una reinvención de sostenimiento imaginario de lo incomprensible, desarticulando los esquemas socialmente aceptados y articulando modelos nuevos que le permitan al hombre continuar con la vida, encontrando formas de fortalecer al Eros y disminuir la proliferación de Thanatos. (AU)

Tendência das iniquidades sociais nas notificações de violência sexual no Brasil entre 2010 e 2014 / Trend of social iniquities in reports of sexual violence in Brazil between 2010 and 2014

RESUMO: Introdução: A violência sexual tem despontado no cenário da saúde com as mudanças nos perfis epidemiológicos das populações. Metodologia: Estudo ecológico com 5.565 municípios brasileiros entre 2010 e 2014. Realizou-se análise descritiva das variáveis (taxa populacional de notificação de violência sexual, renda domiciliar per capita e índice de desenvolvimento humano - IDH) e suas estratificações por quintil. Para explorar os fatores associados às mudanças nas desigualdades sociais na taxa de notificação de violência sexual, foram adotados o coeficiente angular de desigualdade e o índice relativo de desigualdade. Construiu-se equiplot para o desfecho em cada variável independente. Resultados: A taxa média de notificações de violência sexual no Brasil foi de 4,38 notificações/100 mil habitantes para o período. Houve incremento na taxa de violência e melhoria nas condições socioeconômicas. Observou-se maior taxa de notificações no quintil com melhores condições de vida, bem como aumento na desigualdade da taxa de notificações de violência sexual em função da renda domiciliar e do IDH. Diversos fatores parecem influenciar o aumento das notificações de violência sexual no país. Entre eles, destacam-se a melhoria nas condições de vida da população e a maior sensibilidade moral à violência, contudo ainda há disparidade de notificações entre os municípios de acordo com sua condição socioeconômica. Conclusão: A falta de políticas públicas de equidade social em saúde tem interferido nas notificações de violência sexual no país e ampliado as iniquidades em saúde.

Exploring the perception of survivors on the bidirectional impact between cancer and their social contexts: A mixed-methods approach.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the current study was to use a mixed-methods approach to assess the perspective of cancer survivors on the bidirectional impact between cancer and their social contexts. METHOD: A fixed concurrent triangulation mixed-methods survey design was used with open- and closed-ended questions that were predetermined and administered to participants. Quantitative items included demographic questions and the Life Impact Checklist. Qualitative questions were designed to explore the bidirectional impact between the patient and specific contexts including spirituality/faith, the spousal/partner relationship, and the family. A cross-sectional descriptive approach was used to evaluate the quantitative items and the constant comparative method guided the analysis of open-ended questions. RESULT: Among 116 participants (mean age 58.4 years), the majority were female (66.7%) with breast cancer (27.9%). Nearly one-half the respondents endorsed a positive impact of cancer on their spirituality/faith, but qualitative results suggested less of a bidirectional impact. The importance of the spouse/partner during the cancer experience was emphasized, including the subthemes of instrumental and emotional support; however, there was often a negative impact of cancer on the spouse/partner relationship, including sexual functioning. Survivors indicated family members provided instrumental and emotional support, but not as regularly or directly as a spouse/partner. SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS: Social contexts are important among cancer survivors, with many cancer survivors relying more on their spouse/partner than other family members for support. The cancer experience is stressful not only for survivors, but also for individuals in their social contexts and relationships.

El envejecimiento. Repercusión social e individual / The aging. Social and individual repercussion

Introducción: hoy se conoce que la vida humana no está solamente determinada por el aspecto biológico del individuo, sino que está directamente influenciada por factores biológicos y ecológicos sin restar importancia a los psicológicos sociales y culturales. Objetivo: abordar la temática del envejecimiento y su repercusión social e individual. Método: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica que permitió a través del análisis y síntesis establecer, nexos, criterios y valoraciones concernientes al tema. Se abordan temas relacionados con los tipos de envejecimiento, repercusión del envejecimiento social e individual y su particularidad en Cuba. Desarrollo: el número de personas que en el mundo rebasa la edad de 60 años, aumentó en el siglo XX de 400 millones en la década del 50, a 700 millones en la década del 90. El envejecimiento primario es el proceso o grupo de procesos responsables del conjunto de cambios observados con la edad en los individuos de una especie y no relacionados con la presencia de enfermedad. El envejecimiento secundario hace referencia al que se produce en los seres vivos cuando son sometidos a la acción de fenómenos aleatorios y selectivos. El envejecimiento individual es el proceso de evolución hasta ahora irreversible que experimenta cada persona en el transcurso de su vida mientras que el envejecimiento poblacional es el incremento del número de adultos mayores con respecto al conjunto de la población a que pertenecen. Conclusiones: el envejecimiento y la vejez dependen de la calidad de vida que se lleve desde el nacimiento, para envejecer con salud se deben de mejorar las condiciones de vida de toda la población independiente de la edad, sexo o etnia, brindar bienestar a las personas mayores, asegurando servicios de salud y seguridad social, una subsistencia adecuada, vivienda digna y asistencia integra, priorizando acciones de salud para los grupos más pobres(AU)

Introduction: today it is known that human life is not only determined by the biological aspect of the individual, but is directly influenced by biological and ecological factors without downplaying the social and cultural psychological. Objective: to address the issue of aging and its social and individual impact. Method: a bibliographic search was carried out that allowed through the analysis and synthesis to establish, links, criteria and evaluations concerning the subject. Topics related to the types of aging, the impact of social and individual aging and its particularity in Cuba are addressed. Development: the number of people in the world exceeds the age of 60, increased in the twentieth century from 400 million in the 50s, to 700 million in the 90s. Primary aging is the process or group of processes responsible for the set of changes observed with age in individuals of a species and not related to the presence of disease. Secondary aging refers to the one that occurs in living beings when they are subjected to the action of random and selective phenomena. Individual aging is the process of evolution until now irreversible experienced by each person in the course of his life while population aging is the increase in the number of MEAs with respect to the whole population to which they belong. Conclusions: aging and old age depend on the quality of life that takes from birth, to age with health should improve the living conditions of the entire population regardless of age, sex or ethnicity, provide welfare to people elderly, ensuring health and social security services, adequate subsistence, decent housing and integrated assistance, prioritizing health actions for the poorest groups(AU)

Introdução: hoje sabe-se que a vida humana não é apenas determinada pelo aspecto biológico do indivíduo, mas é diretamente influenciada por fatores biológicos e ecológicos sem subestimar o psicológico social e cultural.

Método: foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica que permitiu, através da análise e síntese, estabelecer, links, critérios e avaliações referentes ao assunto. Tópicos relacionados aos tipos de envelhecimento, o impacto do envelhecimento social e individual e sua particularidade em Cuba são abordados. Desenvolvimento: O número de pessoas no mundo com idade superior a 60 anos aumentou no século XX 400 milhões nos 50, 700 milhões em envelhecimento primário nos 90 é o processo ou grupo de processos responsável pelo conjunto de alterações observadas com a idade em indivíduos de uma espécie e não relacionadas à presença de doença. O envelhecimento secundário refere-se ao que ocorre nos seres vivos quando estes são submetidos à ação de fenômenos aleatórios e seletivos. envelhecimento individual é a evolução irreversível processo até agora experimentado por cada pessoa no curso de sua vida, enquanto o envelhecimento da população está a aumentar o número de AAMM no que diz respeito a toda a população a que pertencem. Conclusões: o envelhecimento e a velhice dependem da qualidade de vida que leva desde o nascimento, até a idade com saúde deve melhorar as condições de vida de toda a população, independentemente da idade, sexo ou etnia, proporcionar bem-estar às pessoas idosas, garantindo serviços de saúde e previdência social, condições adequadas de subsistência, moradia decente e assistência integrada, priorizando ações de saúde para os grupos mais pobres(AU)

The burden of disease in Russia from 1980 to 2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016.

BACKGROUND: Over the past few decades, social and economic changes have had substantial effects on health and wellbeing in Russia. We aimed to use data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to evaluate trends in mortality, causes of death, years lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost (YLLs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and associated risk factors in Russia from 1980 to 2016. METHODS: We estimated all-cause mortality by use of a multistage modelling process that synthesised data from vital registration systems, surveys, and censuses. A composite measure of health loss due to both fatal and non-fatal disease burden (DALYs) was calculated as the sum of YLLs and YLDs for each age, sex, year, and location. Health progress was evaluated in comparison with patterns of change in similar countries by use of the Socio-demographic Index that was developed for GBD 2016. FINDINGS: Following rapid decreases in life expectancy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, life expectancy at birth in Russia improved between 2006 and 2016. The all-cause mortality rate decreased by 16·6% (95% uncertainty interval 9·4-33·8) between 1980 and 2016. This overall decrease encompasses the cycles of sharp increases and plateaus in mortality that occurred before 2005. Child mortality decreased by 57·5% (53·5-61·1) between 2000 and 2016. However, compared with countries at similar Socio-demographic Index levels, rates of mortality and disability in Russia remain high and life expectancy is low. Russian men have a disproportionate burden of disease relative to women. In 2016, 59·2% (55·3-62·6) of mortality in men aged 15-49 years and 46·8% (44·5-49·5) of mortality in women were attributable to behavioural risk factors, including alcohol use, drug use, and smoking. INTERPRETATION: Trends in mortality in Russia from 1980 to 2016 might be related to complicated patterns of behavioural risk factors associated with economic and social change, to shifts in disease burden, and to changes in the capacity of and access to health care. Ongoing mortality and disability from causes and risks amenable to health-care interventions and behaviour modifications present opportunities to continue to improve the wellbeing of Russian citizens.

Social constraints and fear of recurrence in couples coping with early stage breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a top concern of breast cancer (BC) survivors and their spouses. FCR often occurs within an interpersonal context, yet there has been little research on relationship processes that may influence FCR in patients and spouses. It was hypothesized that the inhibition of disclosure of cancer-related concerns, thoughts, and feelings because of perceived partner disinterest or avoidance (termed social constraints) would predict greater FCR in BC patients and their spouses both globally and in the context of everyday life. METHOD: Two studies, 1 cross-sectional (N = 46 couples) and 1 daily diary (21 days; N = 72 couples), were conducted to examine the between-person and within-person associations between social constraints and FCR in early stage BC patients and their spouses. Assessments were conducted about 6 months after BC surgery. RESULTS: Global social constraints predicted greater global FCR in patients and spouses at the cross-sectional level, controlling for anxiety symptoms, relationship quality, and patient age, physical impairment, and BC stage. At the within-person level, results indicated that on days when more social constraints were reported, both partners were more likely to report greater FCR, controlling for momentary negative affect and relationship quality. CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to examine the within-person association between social constraints and FCR. These findings suggest relationship processes, particularly inhibition of disclosure, can uniquely influence the experience of FCR for both BC patients and their spouses, pointing to an important consideration for future research and possible intervention development.

Increased alcohol use after Hurricane Ike: The roles of perceived social cohesion and social control.

Hurricane Ike, the third costliest hurricane in US history, made landfall in the Galveston Bay Area in September, 2008. Existing literature postulates that maladaptive behavior such as increased alcohol use is often exhibited by disaster survivors in coping with both disaster-related traumatic events and post-disaster stressful events. In addition, it has also been postulated that survivors' perceptions of social cohesion and social control can potentially serve to moderate such behavior. The purpose of this paper is to study such hypotheses for Hurricane Ike. In particular, we investigate the following four hypotheses: (H1) There is an increase of alcohol use by survivors of Hurricane Ike in the Galveston Bay Area; (H2) There are positive associations between both Ike-related trauma and post-Ike stress events and the increase in alcohol use; (H3) There are negative associations between both perceived social cohesion and social control and the increase in alcohol use following Ike; and finally that (H4) perceived social cohesion and social control serve to moderate the associations between both Ike-related trauma and post-Ike stress events and increased alcohol use after Ike. Using public use survey-weighted data from the Galveston Bay Recovery Study (GBRS) of Ike survivors (N = 658), we tested these hypotheses using logistic regressions controlling for other key socioeconomic variables. Our results confirm H1 and H2. Hypotheses H3 and H4 are partially confirmed with respect to social control, but show that (i) there is a positive association between perceived social cohesion and the increase in alcohol use following Ike, and that (ii) while perceived social cohesion and social control do moderate the association between post-Ike stress events and increased alcohol use, they have no effect on the association between Ike-related trauma and increased alcohol use.
