The article is devoted to a historical event that occurred 250 years ago in Moscow. The authors draw analogies between the plague epidemic and the current situation associated with a new coronavirus infection, and note what unites these events. It shows the dedicated work of doctors in the conditions of complete ambiguity of the causes and spread of these infections, in the absence of effective treatment methods, what was the behavior of the population, how prevention measures were developed, and what is the role of the authorities of Moscow and St. Petersburg in the fight.

Health care costs and the nature of the benefits package are an issue that plagues most jurisdictions. Written in a cooperative effort to reflect the perspectives of the labor and management co-chairs, Peoria's story is an example of the cooperation that has developed in that city. In addition to describing a remarkable city-wide effort to reduce health care costs and maintain an attractive benefit package, the article shows how success on a topic of importance to the parties and the community can sow the seeds of a broader cooperative relationship that improves services, quality of work life and the nature of the labor-management relationship. By agreement, the city and labor unions took the health care plan off the bargaining table, and instead, gave it to a city-wide joint committee, which solved the crisis and manages this difficult issue. Among other advances that mark a change from the past, the positive effects from the dramatic success in health care has contributed to a first-ever, five-year negotiated settlement between the city and the firefighters. Read about how Peoria accomplished this change by bold risk taking and by carefully nurturing the effort.

Abstract Cities around the world are responding to aging populations and equity concerns for older people by developing age-friendly communities plans, following the World Health Organization’s guidelines. Such plans, however, often fail to account for the wide diversity of older people in cities, with the result that some older people, including Indigenous older people, do not see their needs reflected in age-friendly planning and policies. This article reports on a study involving 10 older First Nations and Métis women in the city of Prince George, Canada, comparing the expressed needs of these women with two age-friendly action plans: that of the city of Prince George, and that of the Northern Health Authority. Four main categories were raised in a group discussion and interview with these women at the Prince George Native Friendship Centre: availability of health care services, accessibility and affordability of programs and services, special roles of Indigenous Elders, and experiences of racism and discrimination. There are many areas of synergy between the needs expressed by the women and the two action plans; however, certain key areas are missing from the action plans; in particular, specific strategies for attending to the needs of Indigenous and other older populations who often feel marginalized in health care and in age-friendly planning.

The case of the Corona Virus is known through a mysterious disease that paralyzed the City of Wuhan, China. The tragedy at the end of 2019 has continued until the spread of the Corona virus has spread throughout the world. Quoted from CNN, here are some things that must be known about the development of the Corona virus, which is commonly called the Corona virus or COVID-19, until it broke out and became a pandemic. Everyone needs to maintain mental health to avoid physical complaints that arise due to stress. Because when someone is stressed, the immune system in the body will decrease. This will cause the body to be susceptible to disease. Realizing that anxiety due to COVID-19 has pervaded many communities, the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020 released a guide for people to jointly maintain mental health. Through community service activities by directly interacting with the community while still implementing the COVID-19 protocol, socialization was carried out about the importance of maintaining mental health in the community during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Community service at RT 30 Recognize Besar, the community can know, recognize and overcome how to recognize mental health disorders including anxiety and depression, it is hoped that the community will always think optimistically in facing the Covid-19 pandemic, by implementing health protocols, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, always think positively, maintain communication with family and friends

No estágio atual do sistema capitalista no mundo, as estratégias dos agentes econômicos para sobreviverem no mercado se fazem cada vez mais notórias. Tida como uma modernização na forma de vender e comprar, o Franchising vem se destacando em todo mundo e sendo fator importante na economia dos países. As franquias são muito presentes em realidades urbanas complexas, como as metrópoles, porém, nos últimos anos, nota-se sua difusão para centros urbanos intermediários, particularmente em cidades consideradas como médias, que possuem certo grau de influência regional. A cidade de Viçosa, localizada na Zona da Mata mineira, faz parte desse conjunto de cidades que, pela centralidade que exercem, atraem capitais, pessoas e mercadorias. O crescente número de franquias na cidade em questão despertou o interesse em caracterizá-las e entendê-las do ponto de vista da sua espacialidade, bem como do potencial que apresentam para promover mudanças na estrutura urbana, já que elas são indutoras de investimentos, reestruturações e, principalmente, de centralidade.   THE ROLE OF FRANCHISES IN THE RESTRUCTURING OF CITIES: the ascension of the sector in Viçosa - Minas Gerais State Palavras-chave: Franchising; Cidades Médias; Centralidade; Reestruturação Urbana.

The city of Viçosa, located in Zona da Mata mineira, is part of this group of cities that, because of the centrality they exert, attract capital, people and merchandise. The increasing number of franchises in the city in question has aroused interest in characterizing and understanding them from the point of view of their spatiality, as well as the potential they present to promote changes in the urban structure, since they are conducive to investment, restructuring And, mainly, of centrality.  Keywords: Franchising; Medium sized cities; Centrality; Urban Restructuring.   EL PAPEL DE LAS FRANQUICIAS EN LA REESTRUCTURACIÓN DE LAS CIUDAD: la ascensión del sector en Viçosa – MG Resumen En la etapa actual del sistema capitalista en el mundo, las estrategias de los agentes económicos para sobrevivir en el mercado se hacen cada vez más notorias.
