An analysis of campaigns to prevent the consumption of addictive substances and to favor road safety in Spain from 2011 to 2020 is carried out from a gender perspective. The results reveal how women have been represented in such campaigns in recent years. A quantitative methodology is applied based on longitudinal and categorical content analyses. The corpus used in the investigation comprises 81 pieces from 24 campaigns run by public and private institutions at the national, autonomous community, or local level of the Valencian Community. The methodological design is constructed around 20 variables, with gender considered as a cross-sectional variable. The results indicate the low presence of women in such campaigns, which can hinder their identification and reduce awareness in relation to the problems addressed. A masculinization of most of the campaigns aimed at a younger audience (25-35 years) is also observed, regarding both legal and illegal substances, which may influence their adequacy among the population at risk. In both emotional and rational messages, there is a greater presence of men, reinforced through real images and sounds, with creative strategies and resources of both an informative and emotional nature. The number of campaigns exhibiting gender parity had decreased by 80% as of 2016, in contrast to the increase in the consumption of substances such as alcohol and psychotropic drugs by women. This therefore does not follow the recommendations of the National Drug Strategies in recent years regarding the need to incorporate a gender perspective into such campaigns. In addition, reinforcement of gender stereotypes and traditional female roles is observed. Resumen Se plantea un análisis desde una perspectiva de género de las campañas de prevención sobre el consumo de sustancias adictivas y seguridad vial en España desde 2011 a 2020, que permite conocer cómo se representa a la mujer en las campañas preventivas en los últimos años. Se ha aplicado una metodología cuantitativa realizando un análisis de contenido categorial y de corte longitudinal. El corpus de la investigación son 81 piezas de 24 campañas de instituciones públicas y privadas de ámbito nacional y autonómico o local de la Comunitat Valenciana. El diseño metodológico se ha articulado en torno a 20 variables donde el género se considera la variable transversal. Los resultados indican una baja presencia de la mujer en las campañas que puede dificultar su identificación y una mayor concienciación en relación con la problemática tratada. Se observa una masculinización de la mayoría de las campañas orientadas al público joven (25-35) y se remarca tanto en sustancias legales e ilegales, que podría estar relacionado con la adecuación de las campañas a la población de riesgo. Tanto en los mensajes emocionales como racionales hay mayor presencia del hombre, reforzada mediante el uso de imágenes y sonidos reales, con estrategias y recursos creativos de carácter informativo y emocional. Desciende en un 80% el número de campañas donde se muestra paridad de género a partir de 2016, lo que contrasta con el incremento del consumo en mujeres de sustancias como el alcohol y psicofármacos, no siguiendo las recomendaciones de las estrategias nacionales sobre drogas de los últimos años sobre la necesidad de incorporar la perspectiva de género en las campañas. Además, se observa el refuerzo de estereotipos de género y roles tradicionales femeninos.

Addressing gender-equality issues in education can foster enormous change in children’s lives. However, most textbooks in Albanian schools include gender stereotypes, which perpetuate gender inequality and unequal roles for men and women, both in public and private spheres. This research aims to identify and evaluate trends of gender stereotypes in textbooks, as well as the need for gender mainstreaming in basic education curriculum. The methodology is based on a desk review of textbooks from a gender perspective. The curriculum evaluation follows the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) model of evaluation, which mainly aims to assess the extent to which a certain education reform has generated positive change in schools.

This study analyzes the results of a cross-sectional survey which set out to determine the costs to patients of searching for and receiving health care in public and private institutions. The information analyzed was obtained from the study population of the Mexican National Health Survey. The dependent variable was the out-of-pocket users' costs and the independent variables were the insurance conditions, type of institution and income. The empirical findings suggest that there is a need for a more detailed analysis of user costs in middle income countries in general, where the health system is based on social security, public assistance and private institutions. This study shows that the out of pocket costs faced by users are inequitable and fall disproportionately upon socially and economically marginalized populations.

Micro Organisms

Stethoscopes routinely used for clinical examination of patients may potentially transfer micro-organisms and cause iatrogenic infections. This study was undertaken to detect the presence of microorganisms on stethoscopes used clinically in hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan and to ascertain the infection control practices of healthcare workers (HCWs). In a cross-sectional study, 118 samples were collected from public and private institutions. Samples were tested for the presence and sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms. Microorganisms were found on diaphragms of 33/64 (51.6%) and 19/57 (33.3%) stethoscopes in public and private sector hospitals, respectively. Methycillin resistance was identified in all staphylococcally contaminated samples. Only 33 (18%) respondents reported cleaning their stethoscopes regularly. We highlight the need for more and better on-the-job routines for decontaminating stethoscopes among HCWs in Karachi.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN SOCIAL POLICIES. THE CASE OF THEPARISHES IN THE LISBON METROPOLITAN AREA – Capitalist development is currently characterised by an administrative centralisation with the Nation-State losing power to supranational authorities. However, some functions have been decentralised, specially the ones of a social character, to local levels of Public Administration, as can be seen by the increase of parish activities, which develop their own plans, act in partnership or subsidise public and private institutions at a local level. The social policies that the parishes adopt are influenced by several factors, among which we detect the structure of the territory and the dominating political party within the local government council.

Abtract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic brought the need for social distancing as a strategy to control the disease, prompting most countries to te.,mporarily suspend educational activities at all levels. Objective: To analyze the status of physical therapy education in Brazilian public and private institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study with professors from physical therapy courses in Brazil. The study was conducted using an electronic form distributed via a social media application, containing questions on the characteristics of the professor, educational institution and work process. Associations were analyzed by the chi-squared test at 5% significance. Results: A total of 313 professors from 22 Brazilian states participated, with 62.94% from private institutions and 73.80% reporting that activities were conducted via emergency remote teaching (ERT). Among the professors who shifted to ERT, 63.20% did so with no prior planning and 28.13% had received no training for this this teaching format. An association was observed between the type of institution (public or private) and professors’ age (p < 0.001), sex (p < 0.001), teaching experience (p < 0.001) and adopting ERT (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In Brazil, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted most institutions to switch to ERT, more prevalent at private facilities, with no prior planning for the transition from in-person to remote teaching.
