It is based on the observation that water is a finite and fundamental resource for the maintenance of life and that inadequate anthropic actions regarding its preservation and management have led to water crises, especially in large urban centers. The water efficiency of national taps is discussed and it is proposed to adopt a seal to be stamped on its packaging. The labeling of faucets aims to inform the population, in an objective and clear way, the volume of water consumed, giving the consumer subsidies for a conscious choice as to the equipment to be purchased. It is concluded that the adoption of environmental labeling, through the proposed water seal, can be an important instrument for the rational use of water. Keywords: Environmental labeling. Tap. Water preservation.    PROPUESTA DE ETIQUETAS AMBIENTALES COMO UN INDICADOR DE GRIFOS EFICIENTES DEL AGUA RESUMEN  Este trabajo tiene como objetivo la proposición de etiqueta ambiental de eficiencia hídrica para grifos.

Slum Population

The urban centers offering diverse employment opportunities and means of livelihood are the main centers of attraction for migration. But the availability of infrastructure is low to accommodate the invariably growing population. The access to basic amenities like electricity, drinking water, toilet facility, wastewater outlet and clean fuel are critical determinants of quality of urbanization. And if it lacks, then it would facilitates the growth of slum.  In this paper it being tried to capture the interdependent relationship between basic amenities and slum population residing in the class I towns in Maharashtra; largest slum populated state of India. As the slum is all about the situation or condition in which the people of medium and lower strata are living. A detailed analysis of proportion of slum population and availability of amenities which includes good housing condition, treated tap water as the source of drinking water, electricity as the source of lightning, households having latrine and bathing facility within the premises, waste water outlet connected to closed drainage, and households availing the banking facilities. This may be a limitation of the study that only these indicators have been taken to assess the availability of amenities and to calculate the amenity index of class I towns of the state of Maharashtra. To achieve the sustainable development goal (Sustainable cities and communities), we have to control the growth of slum population and to combat the formation of slum; we have to analyze the situation of basic infrastructure provided in urban centers. Amenities and slum population has policy implications as to reduce the slum population, provide basic amenities to the households which will improve their standard of living and ultimately lead to reduction in growth of slum and check the future slum formation.

La implementación de inventarios forestales en centros urbanos permiten conocer la biodiversidad forestal con la que se cuenta, para de esta manera promover, entre la población, su cuidado y tomar las acciones para su conservación y crecimiento. Estos inventarios permiten conocer las características de los individuos forestales, con base en las cuales se puede determinar su estado de salud y la influencia que estos puedan provocar en la población, de manera positiva o negativa. Uno de los factores que pone en riesgo la biodiversidad forestal es el crecimiento urbano, y esta clase de inventarios nos permitirá acercarnos al estado de las áreas verdes para conocer la distribución de especies endémicas y exóticas, y ante esto buscar posibles soluciones a las problemáticas, como el déficit de especies nativas, sobrepoblación de individuos forestales no adecuados para el entorno o simplemente determinar si estos centrosurbanos cuentan o no con una cantidad mínima de espacios verdes y vegetación que pueda aportar a una buena calidad de  vida.El objetivo de este trabajo es contar con un sistema de inventario forestal para parques urbanos con geolocalización de cada uno de los árboles, apoyado en el levantamiento de información de campo a través de formularios desarrollados por personal calificado, que conoce las características necesarias para un eficiente inventario forestal, el uso de la tecnología de drones para obtener productos que reflejen el estado actual, la ubicación de los parques urbanos así como de sus árboles y también un geoportal para compartir con la población toda la información recolectada y procesada. Palabras clave: Inventario forestal, drone, ortofotografía, crecimiento urbano, geoportal, formulario digital, muestra botánica, individuo forestal. AbstractThe implementation of forest inventories in urban centers allows us to know the existing forest biodiversity, in order to promote, among the population, its care and take actions for their conservation and growth. These inventories allow to know the characteristics of the forest individuals, based on which they can determine their health status and the influence thatthese can provoke in the population, in a positive or negative way. One of the factors that threatens forest biodiversity is urban growth, and this kind of inventory will allow us to approach the state of the green areas to know the distribution of endemic and exotic species, and therefore look for possible solutions to the problems, such as the deficit of native species, overpop-ulation of forest individuals not suitable for the environment or simply determine if these urban centers have or not a minimum amount of green spaces and vegetation that can contribute to a good quality of life.The objective of this work is to have a system of forest inventory for urban parks with geolocation of each one of the trees, supported survey of field information through forms developed by qualified personnel, which knows the necessary characteristics for an efficient forest inventory, the use of drone technology to obtain products that reflect the current state, thelocation of urban parks as well as their trees and also a geoportal to share with the population all the information collected and processed. Keywords:Forest inventory, drone, orthophotography, urban growth, geoportal, digital form, botanical sample, forest individual.

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. Abstract At the present stage of the capitalist system in the world, the strategies of the economic agents to survive in the market become more and more notorious. Considered as a modernization in the form of selling and buying, franchising has been standing out in the world and being an important factor in the economy of the countries. Franchises are very present in complex urban realities, such as metropolises, but in recent years, it has been diffused to intermediate urban centers, particularly in medium-sized cities with a certain degree of regional influence. 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.

Background Bangladesh experienced a sudden, large influx of forcibly displaced persons from Myanmar in August 2017. A cholera outbreak occurred in the displaced population during September-December 2019. This study aims to describe the epidemiologic characteristics of cholera patients who were hospitalized in diarrhea treatment centers (DTCs) and sought care from settlements of Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) as well as host country nationals during the cholera outbreak. Methods Diarrhea Treatment Center (DTC) based surveillance was carried out among the FDMN and host population in Teknaf and Leda DTCs hospitalized for cholera during September-December 2019. Results During the study period, 147 individuals with cholera were hospitalized. The majority, 72% of patients reported to Leda DTC. Nearly 65% sought care from FDMN settlements. About 47% of the cholera individuals were children less than 5 years old and 42% were aged 15 years and more. Half of the cholera patients were females. FDMN often reported from Camp # 26 (45%), followed by Camp # 24 (36%), and Camp # 27 (12%). Eighty-two percent of the cholera patients reported watery diarrhea. Some or severe dehydration was observed in 65% of cholera individuals. Eighty-one percent of people with cholera received pre-packaged ORS at home. About 88% of FDMN cholera patients reported consumption of public tap water. Pit latrine without water seal was often used by FDMN cholera individuals (78%). Conclusion Vigilance for cholera patients by routine surveillance, preparedness, and response readiness for surges and oral cholera vaccination campaigns can alleviate the threats of cholera.

Rational Use Of Antibiotics

Antibiotics are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs today. Rational use of antibiotics is therefore extremely important as their injudicious use can adversely affect the patient. Drug Utilization Evaluation (DUE) is a system of ongoing systematic criteria based evaluation of drug that will help to ensure that medicines are used appropriately. It is drug/disease specific and can be structured so that it will assess the actual process of prescribing, dispensing, or administration of drug. The retrospective study was conducted At Pk Das Institute of Medical Sciences, Palakkad, Kerala for a duration of 6 months (February 2017 - January 2018). A source of data includes Patient case sheets &medication charts, nursing charts, culture & sensitivity reports. The inclusion criterion includes Patients aged between 18- 80 year, prescribed with oral and parenteral antibiotics. . On analyzing the gender, male gender (n= 111, 55.5%) were higher in numbers as compared to female counterparts (n=89, 44.5%). In our study the majority of the patients prescribed with antibiotics were with the clinical assessment of COPD (n=39, 19.5%), UTI (n=37, 18.5%) and LRTI (n=28, 14%), Bronchial asthma (n=19, 9.5%) respectively. On analyzing the data based on antibiotic sensitivity test, antibiotic test were performed and followed in (n=64,32%)prescriptions and in (n=47,23.5%)prescriptions were test is not followed respectively. In (n=89,44.5%) prescriptions, antibiotic sensitivity test is not performed. On analysis of antibiotics prescribed, the most commonly prescribed antibiotics were cephalosporins, of these ceftriaxone was highly prescribed of all (n=95). The high percentage of antibiotic prescriptions may indicate a high probability of irrational use. This study also point out irrational use of antibiotics are more leading to resistance, misuse and serious problems. So certain strategies should be put forward to strengthen rational use of antibiotics. Keywords: Antibiotics, Antibiotic Susceptibility Test, Irrational use, Resistance

María Victoria Moreno non foi profesora nin escritora tópica. Como García Lorca, a quen estuda e admira, Galicia entrou nela como un signo profundo e verdadeiro que a impresiona, principalmente a través do amor e a terra, notas ambas e dúas de percepción cutánea, sensorial, que impregnan toda a súa produción na nosa lingua. Biografía e texto creativo son indisolubles na autora, que encara vida e obra como viaxe no mundo para facer o ben. Tal cosmovisión, anagnórise ou recoñecemento substánciase nunha serie de conceptos ou palabras clave que percorren os seus versos e as súas prosas.
