Med nedavno epidemijo covida-19 se je svet šole intenzivno in nenapovedano »preselil« v sfero doma, ki se je posledično intenzivneje spojila s sfero vzgoje, izobraževanja in dela. V članku se ...sprašujemo, kakšna razmerja v vsakdanjem življenju otrok so prinesle okoliščine, pogojene z epidemično stvarnostjo, in kakšne scenarije šolskega vsakdana so ob intenzivni digitalizaciji pouka vzpostavili otroci. S pomočjo spletne pilotne raziskave na priložnostnem vzorcu osnovnošolskih otrok (od 4. do 7. razreda) skušamo prikazati doživljanje digitalizacije pouka, identificirati odzive otrok ter morebitne razlike med njimi. Ker gre za pilotno poizvedbo med zgodnjo fazo epidemije, je razprava primerna zgolj kot eksploracija (p)osebnih pogledov otrok na digitalni šolski vsakdan. Studija med drugim kaže, da so se anketirani otroci na pouk na daljavo relativno pozitivno odzvali, hkrati pa detektirali pomanjkljivosti in rešitve. Ključno omejitev izoliranega vsakdana so zaznali tako v odsotnosti fizičnih stikov kot prepovedi mobilnosti zunaj doma. Doživljanje pouka na daljavo znotraj še tako homogene skupine otrok pa je pokazalo na pet ločenih scenarijev - od splošnega nezadovoljstva in konkretizacije ovir ob pouku na daljavo do navdušenosti nad nastalo situacijo - pri čemer je večja obremenjenost s šolskimi obveznostmi deloma bolj prizadela dekleta kot dečke, ki so večjo avtonomijo izrazili tudi pri preživljanju prostega časa.
Many COVID-19 spread predictions have been implemented using various method. However, most of the prediction are missed because of many factors influence the COVID-19, e.g. geographic condition, ...socio-economic, government policy, etc. To handle this problem, the scenario-based prediction is proposed in this study to predict COVID-19 spread in Indonesia. This study proposed two methods to be used, i.e. Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) Model. The prediction run for best-case scenario and worst-case scenario. Whereas best-case scenario used current daily case as a maximum case, worst-case scenario used another country's maximum case, i.e. India. SVR regression showed different end of epidemic, whereas best-case scenario on 21 January 2021, the worst-case scenario on 5 March 2021. SIR-Model showed the similar end of epidemic on January 2021 for both scenarios but showed the dramatically increase of infectious people from 450,000 people in best-case scenario to 5,500,000 people in worst-case scenario. The prediction can be used as an insight for the policy maker in combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
This research sheds light on the role of the Security Council in confronting global health pandemics as threats to international peace and security. It also addresses including these threats within ...the scope of Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter as a precedent practiced by the Security Council due to the spread of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. However, despite the importance being given to global epidemics, the Council was unable to make any decision to combat the Coronavirus pandemic. Instead of being present and united in light of this pandemic, the Council remained absent due to mutual accusations between the United States of America and China about the origin of the new epidemic, Coronavirus (COVID-19). The study followed the descriptive and analytical approach by analyzing international law and its relationship to peacekeeping and the protection of Public Health and analyzing the reasons for the failure of the Security Council in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. The study showed the failure of the Security Council to convene to combat this epidemic and also showed the weakness and limited powers of the World Health Organization in making binding decisions for countries in this regard. The study recommended the need to study this topic and analyze it in depth to identify the reasons for the failure of the international community to respond to this pandemic by putting forward new ideas.
Community responses are important for outbreak management during the early phase when preventive interventions are the major options. Therefore, this study aims to examine the behavioral responses of ...the community during the early phase of the A cross-sectional online survey was proceeded after confirmed COVID-19 in Iran. The research tool was demographic and risk perception questionnaire and anxiety was assessed using the 7-item GAD Scale. COVID-19 epidemic in the Razavi Khorasan Province of Iran. The population of the study was 500 residents of Razavi Khorasan areas were randomly surveyed. The data analyzed using the SPSS statistical version (V.20). The mean of age participants was 31.9±11.9. The mean GAD-7 scores were 6.4±5.2 and 92.4% had moderate or severe anxiety (GAD-7 score ≥10). Many respondents reported their health status were very good or good (62.2 %; 311/500). About a quarter of them have had respiratory symptoms in the past 14 days, and 20% of them traveled outside of the Razavi Khorasan Province in the last month. Risk perception toward COVID-19 in the community of the Razavi Khorasan Province was moderate. Most participants are alert to disease progression. This study suggested timely behavioral assessment of the community is beneficial and effective to inform next intervention, and risk communication strategies in epidemic disease.
