Progressive Reforms

Based on a survey of about 2,500 US resident adults, we show that people who have experienced serious illness or job loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, or who personally know someone who has, favor a temporary progressive levy or structural progressive tax reform to a greater extent than others in the sample, controlling for income, demographic characteristics, and other factors. People who reveal preferences for spending items (more on police, military, border protection; less on education, health, environment) that are associated with communitarian (rather than universalist) moral perspectives generally show weaker support for progressive reforms, but more communitarians change their views as a result of personal experience. The results are consistent with previous findings that economic upheavals can mold individuals’ views on policy matters.

The aim of the study is to analyze the features of realization mechanism of the rights of convicted persons suffering from a serious illness to release from serving a sentence in order to receive the necessary treatment. Materials and methods: this study uses a set of methods of scientific knowledge. The empirical basis of the study is the statistics of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine for 2015-2019 on convicts released from punishment due to their serious illness, statistical materials and case law of Turkey, Georgia, Great Britain, Germany and Greece, generalization of judicial practice of Ukraine, and the personal experience of one of the co-authors of more than 20 years as a lawyer and for 3 years as a judge of the Supreme Court. Conclusions: in order to protect the persons; interests serving sentences and suffering from serious illness, government mechanisms should provide flexibility in the approach to assessing the health of each person, and not just the detection of disease; the authorities assessing the convict's state of health must be independent, and a prisoner must be able to choose physicians not only for treatment but also for assessment of his/her state of health.

Insight Into

The COVID-19 outbreak is an exact reminder that pandemic like other rarely occurring disasters have happened in the past and will continue to happen in the future. Around the globe, countries are in lockdown, and citizens are asked to maintain social distancing and stay at home. This is not first instances that Kerala is fighting against a deadly virus like Coronavirus. Earlier in 2018, Nipah virus had been identified in Kerala and they had mortality rate of 40 to 80 per cent. From previous experience, among all the states in India, Kerala was well and the best prepared to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and has managed to flatten the curve. But COVID-19 hit Kerala very hard, because the major source of revenue comes from tourism and Non-Resident Keralites (NRK’s) remittance drastically fell down. This paper provides vital insight into the effect on COVID-19 on Kerala’s job market. The aim of this study is to find out how Kerala’s job markets are being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since Malayalees are working in different countries across the world, survey method is used to collect data. The study helps us to understand the demographic characteristics of workforce in Kerala. It clearly discusses effect of COVID-19 on different sectors where of Malayalees work across the world. The study also helps to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on employability of graduates and non-graduates. Finally, this study identifies the rate of job loss due to COVID-19 lockdown during the month of June 2020.

The Family

Among the most frequent questions pediatricians must address are those related to sibling rivalry, which is important regarding both behavior and development.1 The parents' concerns often begin before the next child is born and may be the result of their own personal experience or family situation. They need guidelines for managing this situation. Parents often find it difficult to understand the concept of innate competition between siblings and to accept some conflict as common in healthy families regardless of how loving, clever, persistent, and available adults may be. The pediatrician is in a unique position to intervene because of the frequent contacts with the family. Many potential situations should alert both parents and physicians to a potential problem, including: the sibling reaching significant milestones (eg, walking); change in status (eg, no longer being the oldest, only, or youngest child); change in health status of sibling (eg, injury, malignant illness, identification of disabilities); and change involving a significant adult (eg, illness, death, divorce, job loss, change in caregiver). History taking is essential and can be therapeutic as well as diagnostic. It should include inquiry about who is involved (both children and adults) and their perceived roles; the reporter and most frequent observer; time, situation, and place of occurrence; significance attached to the problem by each of the parents; other occurrences in the entire household regarding relationships; why this problem is receiving attention now and not earlier; and any long-term concerns.

Accurate Observation

It is certainly matter of surprise that a morbid affection of the eyesight, so striking as to engage the attention of Wollaston, Arago, Brewster, Herschel, and the present Astronomer Royal, should have received but little notice from that profession to whose province it exclusively belongs. But it must be borne in mind that the votaries of Natural Philosophy are especially qualified by their habits of accurate observation to con-­template attentively any strange apparition, without or within, and, I had almost said, are especially exposed to the risk of impairment (temporary or permanent) of the eyesight, by the severity of the eye-work and brain-work they undergo, and therefore possess especial advantages for the study of visual derangements; whereas the physician, unless personally subject to the malady, must depend, for his acquaintance with its phenomena, on the imperfect or exaggerated accounts of patients untrained to observe closely or record faithfully. The complaint cannot be a rare one; each writer on the subject, in addition to his own personal experience, has mentioned instances of the same affection among his friends. In the whole body of the medical profession there must be many who are at once liable to the disease and able to describe it. And it is not unimportant. I have seen a person, terribly subject to these attacks, shudder at the very name, and turn away in horror from a drawing of the ugly sight, quite content to bear serious illness “if only the 'half-blindness’ would keep away.” I think it will appear from the various accounts to which I shall refer, and from the different instances which I shall bring forward, that there are more forms than one, of transient hemiopsia.

This chapter explores patients’ personal accounts of spirituality and illness within four Boston hospitals, finding that the majority of patients consider spirituality and religion important to their illness experience. It highlights several interlocking themes that explain how religion and spirituality operate within a person’s personal experience. One key theme, spiritual transformation, highlights a shift that takes place for many patients within illness. Almost all patients, as they stare at the reality of their own mortality, find that our cultural camouflage of death disappears, and this serves as a catalyst for patients to directly consider and weigh spiritual issues. The Boston patient sample offers a “thick” account of patient experience within a metro area that is far less religious than many other places in the United States. Patient data confirm the claim that, for nearly all, illness emerges as a spiritual event of great importance.
