Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which originated in Wuhan, China, has caused many healthcare workers to be infected. To better understand how to protect staff, it is necessary to understand the predisposing factors for healthcare workers infection and nosocomial transmission. A research tool using checklist, questionnaires risk factors healthcare workers (nurses), who worked at the forefront to fight against COVID-19 since its outbreak.The quiestionnare given to nurses includes neurological symptoms, washing hands, wearing masks, clothes, gloves and face shield and shoes from officers who are in the hospital. Of the seventy nurses in Medan Hospital who participated, the most were 30-40 years old as many as 40 (57,1%) and the most female nurses were 57 (81,4%). The were no difference in the level of understanding of nurses before and after counseling (p >0.05). Conclusion: Environmental risk factors at COVID-19 have no associated the Risk Factors before and after counseling at Medan Hospitals.

Background Reports after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina have documented an increase in stress reactions and environmental teratogens (arsenic, mold, alcohol). Objective To assess the incidence of cleft pathology before and after the hurricane, and the distribution of cleft cases by gender and race. Methods Retrospective chart review of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CUP) and cleft palate (CP) cases registered with the Cleft and Craniofacial Team at Children's Hospital of New Orleans, the surgical center that treated cleft cases in Greater New Orleans between 2004 and 2007. Live birth data were obtained from the Louisiana State Center for Health Statistics. Results The incidence of cleft cases, beginning 9 months after the hurricane (i.e., June 1, 2006) was significantly higher compared with the period before the hurricane (0.80 versus 1.42; p = .008). Within racial group comparisons showed a higher incidence among African Americans versus whites (0.42 versus 1.22; p = .01). The distribution of CUP and CP cases by gender was significant ( p = .05). Conclusion The increase in the incidence of cleft cases after the hurricane may be attributable to increased stress and teratogenic factors associated with the hurricane. The increase among African Americans may have been due to comparatively higher exposure to environmental risk factors. These findings warrant further investigation to replicate the results elsewhere in the Gulf to determine whether there is a causal relationship between environmental risk factors and increased cleft pathology.

Independent Audit

Audits are the primary means of monitoring that public funds are appropriately spent by governmental entities. Currently, independent auditors (rather than governmental auditors) are the primary suppliers of governmental audit services, despite the fact that many of them view governmental audits as “secondary” (AICPA 1987). Furthermore, nongovernmental auditors are believed to be less “independent” and more prone to lose sight of the programmatic demand to safeguard the public trust (Power 1997) than governmental auditors. To better understand the supply of governmental audit services, this study investigates independent audit firm partner opinions of governmental audits and their motivation to pursue these engagements. Multiple regression results of our data reveal that partners are more likely to pursue governmental audits if they believe that desirable intrinsic and extrinsic rewards are attainable through performing these audits. Furthermore, environmental risk factors—an active political climate and authoritative changes—reduce partner motivation to pursue governmental audits. It is suggested that environmental risk factors disrupt the comfortable principal/agent relationship of the auditor and auditee because the relationships have become decoupled (abstracted) from the audit's programmatic mission.
