The Relationship

This retrospective study sought to assess the association between the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and the quality of educational materials published in the official profiles of Brazilian government health agencies on Instagram. Posts about COVID-19, published between January 31 and August 15, 2021, were selected, dated, quantified and classified according to their content by three researchers. Public’s engagement was calculated by the number of likes, comments and views. The quality of the educational posts was assessed by two trained and calibrated researchers (Kappa intra and inter-examiners, k=0.96 and k=0.92, respectively), using the Brazilian version of the Clear Communication Index (BR-CDC-CCI), the number of new COVID-19 cases was collected using the COVID-19 epidemic calculator provided by PAHO at https://covid-calc.org/. The relationship between the evolution of the COVID-19 indicator and the quality of educational posts was calculated using the statistical model of a fortnightly time series. On average, educational posts reached 6.4 in the BR-CDC-CCI score (median = 6.5). In the multiple model adjusted for the amount of educational posts and public engagement, it was observed that for each increase of one point in the BR-CDC-CCI score, there was a reduction of 327,864 new cases of Covid-19 (p <0.001). It was concluded that there was a relationship between the low quality of posts and the greater number of new cases of the disease, indicating the need for greater attention from Brazilian government agencies with the quality of information made available on social networks to help control the COVID-19 pandemic.

Role Of Information

Abstract This paper discusses the relationship between heterogeneity of demand regarding choice procedures and product innovation. We propose an evolutionary model showing how consumers with imperfect information chose and select differentiated goods. The model shows the role of information and choice procedures and its relation with the innovative process. The price plays an important role, but the quality of information, error tolerance and criteria for preference ordering are important determinants of the performance of firms in an industry with product innovation.

Based on categories related to structure, content, language, and illustrations, the present study provides an evaluation of the quality of educational materials on leishmaniasis available to health services in Brazil. The 18 publications evaluated consisted of four handbooks, four guided studies, four booklets, and six leaflets. Of the total publications assessed, nine were produced by the Brazilian National Health Foundation (FUNASA), five by State and Municipal Health Departments jointly with FUNASA, and one by the Pan-American Health Organization. The evaluations were also performed by three professionals: a physician specialized in leishmaniasis, a parasitologist, and an information/communications expert. The publications failed to specify key items such as target public, objective, and bibliography. The illustrations, especially in the booklets and leaflets, failed to clarify the text, portrayed biased concepts, and omitted credits and scale. According to this study, informative materials on leishmaniasis distributed in Brazil present major limitations which jeopardize the quality of information they contain.

The influence of the processes of functioning of the local natural-technical systems (NTS) «Stoilenskoe» and «Lebedinskoe» of the KMA deposit on the environment has been studied with the information obtained during the period of last 7—12 years (2004—2015 y.y.). Results of the analyses of time series and obtained trends in the geological components alteration (in particular, a) level of groundwater, b) chemical composition of groundwater, c) engineering and geological processes) have been given. The ways of regime observations optimization concerning their placement and frequency in time have been offered. The proposed way of the assessment of the current state of NTS allows reducing the observations number, without reducing quality of information. The spatial structure and the time mode of monitoring have to be corrected according to the obtained information. The data received from Lebedinskoye and Stoylinskoye fields can be used for design and development of the similar geological fields.
