BACKGROUND The presence of the mobile phone and devices is generating knowledge about the use of applications to support patient care, but there are few recommendations for apps dedicated to healthcare professionals OBJECTIVE To establish a validated scale to assess healthcare mobile applications is the most efficient step for health care providers and systems. The main goal is to create and validate a tool to evaluate health apps destined to be used by health professionals. METHODS A five steps simplified methodology to assess of the scale was followed. The first step consists of building a scale for professionals based on a literature review. Next step would be an expert panel validation by a Delphi method, rating web-based questionnaires to evaluate inclusion and weight of the indicators. It was agreed to carry out, as many iterations as necessary, to reach a consensus of 75%. Finally, a pilot of the score was developed to evaluate the reliability of the scale. For the inter-rater agreement assessment during the pilot, the Cohen Kappa was used. RESULTS After the literature review, a first scale draft was developed. Two rounds of interactions of the local investigation group and the external panel of experts were needed to select final indicators. Seventeen indicators were included in the score. For the pilot test, 280 apps were evaluated and 66 meet the criteria. The interrater agreement was strong (higher than 82% with significant kappa >0.72 per app and item). CONCLUSIONS We have developed, with a reproducible methodology, a tool that allows us to evaluate health applications for clinical, surgical and general medical providers. The ISYScore-PRO scale to be reliable and reproducible. The assessment permitted to consolidate every step of the methodology. We were able to reach consensus on the dimensions and items on the scale with only two rounds. The process of validation included two robust methodologies. The ISYScore-PRO scale is reliable and reproducible.

Abstract Introduction: As part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC) Final Report on the history and legacy of residential schools in Canada, ninety-four (94) Calls to Action were identified. Of those, seven are health-specific. The objective of this research paper is to determine how Canadian health library websites are responding to these calls to action. Methods: The authors conducted an initial literature review to gain an understanding of the context of Indigenous health in Canada. A content analysis of Canadian health library websites was conducted to track mentions of the TRC and their responses to the need for Indigenous-focused resources. Results: The results of content analysis indicated few online responses to the TRC’s Calls to Action from Canadian health libraries. Only thirty-three per cent of Canadian health libraries had content that was Indigenous-focused, and only about fifteen per cent of health libraries had visible content related to the TRC’s Calls to Action. Academic and consumer health libraries were more likely to have both TRC- and Indigenous-focused content. Discussion: Nuances related to the research question resulted in some challenges to research design. For example, website content analysis is an imperfect indicator of real-world action. Limitations in research design notwithstanding, visibility is an important part of conveying commitment to the TRC, and the information available indicates the Canadian medical community is not living up to that commitment. Conclusion: Canadian health libraries need to do more to show a visible commitment to the TRC’s Calls to Action.

This article deals with the methodological practices applied by the teacher to the teaching of literature at the Elementaryl level. The objective is to carry out an investigation about some of the main questions concerning the use of such methodologies in literary text. We analyze the main theoretical and practical aspects related to the importance, the character, the functionality of the method and some peculiarities regarding its application, considering the prescriptions of the normative documents. Next, we reflect on the commitment of the teacher and the efforts of the students regarding the reception to the literary text. As a theoretical contribution to the discussions we did a literature review on aspects Bordini and Aguiar theory (1993), Cosson (2014), Colomer (2007) and Lopes (1994) among others. The activities used to collect the data of the field research consisted of the observation of practical classes, whose focus was on the use of Didactic Sequences applied to work with the genre poem in the classroom and an interview with teachers of the public education. Results indicated that the main positive aspects concerning the method used to work with literary text were highlighted in the final report. In addition to that, it showed that it is vital that teachers use appropriate methodological guidelines, which will assist him in the didactic processes including the choice of an appropriate method, respecting the student’s age group and its experiential context.

A literature review of test data that have become available since the 1979 toxicological safety report on 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol (BNPD) is presented and discussed. The earlier conclusion that BNPD is safe as a cosmetic ingredient at concentrations up to 0.1% except under circumstances where its action with amines or amides can result in the formation of nitrosamines or nitrosamides is reaffirmed. The new data suggest the possibility that when it is absorbed, this ingredient may contribute to endogenous formation of nitrosamines in humans.
