O município de Bonito está localizado a sudoeste do Mato Grosso do Sul na microrregião geográfica Bodoquena, tendo a pecuária e o turismo como principais atividades econômicas. Através do ecoturismo o município tem buscado promover o desenvolvimento nas áreas sociais, econômicas e ambientais. Assim, a presente pesquisa procurou avaliar a percepção dos estudantes do ensino básico (8º e 9º anos) de uma escola municipal sobre o desenvolvimento turístico na região e a necessidade de inserção de visita técnica orientada na disciplina curricular “Noções Básicas do Turismo”. A disciplina está presente na grade curricular desde 2006, porém não promove regularmente atividades em campo. Para levantamento dos dados foi utilizada entrevista semi-estruturada e o Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras (TALP) e analisadas segundo o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) e a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS). Apesar dos estudantes terem sido favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do turismo na região de Bonito, poucos demonstraram envolvimento direto ou indireto com as atividades turísticas. No entanto, os estudantes demonstraram ter conhecimento e uma relação afetiva com a fauna local, garantindo assim a promoção da educação ambiental, sobretudo na visita orientada, para que as mesmas não tenham apenas o enfoque de lazer. A experiência com a visita orientada também permitiu o resgate da identidade da coletividade, através da afinidade e forte interação que os estudantes demonstraram com o meio ambiente. Estes resultados, entretanto, indicaram a necessidade da inserção das visitas técnicas orientadas aos atrativos turísticos de Bonito como base metodológica nas atividades escolares. Social representations of students in basic education in tourism development in the city of Bonito (MS, Brazil) The city of Bonito is located in southwestern Mato Grosso do Sul in the Bodoquena region. The economy consists primarily of ranching and tourism. Through tourism, the town has sought to promote social, economic and environmental development. This study sought to assess the perception of students in their 8th and 9th years at a public school regarding the development of tourism in the region and the need to include a field trip related to their “Basic Concepts of Tourism” course. The class has been present in the curriculum since 2006, but does not include routine field trips. A semi-structured interview and the Free Word Association Test (TALP) were used to collect data, and were analyzed using Collective Discourse of the Subject (DSC) and the Social Representations Theory (TRS). Although students felt favorably toward the development of tourism in the Bonito regions, few demonstrated direct or indirect involvement in tourism activities. However, students demonstrated knowledge of and concern for the local wildlife, thus guaranteeing support for environmental education, as noted during the visit during which students were not focused solely on having fun. The guided visit also allowed for the development of a collective identity through the affinity and deep interaction the students demonstrated with the environment. These results, however, suggest the need to include methodology-based guided field trips to Bonito’s tourist attractions in the school curriculum.

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to examine the educational problems of basic education students migrating from Syria encountered in the schools. The research study group involved 37 Syrian students, 4 school managers and 18 teachers who were willing to participate to the research from four different secondary schools. The study group was chosen according to accessibility criterion. The data were collected through interviews. Therefore, the data was analyzed according to the qualitative methods. In the analysis of data collected by using face to face interview technique and semi-structured interview form, the content analysis method was used. According to the research results, it was determined that Syrian students have a language problem, especially during their education. They had sufficient knowledge of the Turkish language to manage their daily lives, however, academically the knowledge was concluded as insufficient. The main problems occurring among Syrian students are communication skills and adaptation. Main causes of these two problems are the differences between the ethnic origin among the Syrians students and the integration and communication with Turkish students. The Syrian students can be divided into two group as Syrian Kurdish or Syrian Arab. Both groups indicate that it is hard to communicate with each other due to the language difference. Furthermore, the Syrian girls expressed that they have more difficulties in being accepted and making friends, which causes the feeling that they are left alone. The findings of the research reveal that Syrian parents do not visit the school and that their skills of understanding and speaking Turkish are far behind their children's ability to understand and speak Turkish. According to the students 'views, the main reason for their parents' not visiting the school is the language problem. According to the data obtained from the interviews conducted by the administrators, guidance teachers and class teachers of the schools, it has been determined that some Syrian students have problems in integration during school, lack of motivation for the classes, and a more introvert student profile compared to other students. On the other hand, it was also stated that it was uncommon that Syrian students were included or had caused for any improper circumstances at school or were involved in any disciplinary case.

Introduction: The pandemic produced by SARS-CoV-2 has obliged us to set up the tele-assistance to offer a continuity of care. This implies an innovation, being the degree of satisfaction of patients unknown. Methods: A telephonic survey was conducted with the validated in the Spanish tool Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (Telehealth Usability Questionnaire; rating from 1-7) of all candidate patients assisted consecutively in the Coloproctology Unit. We included demographic variables, education level, job status, diagnosis and consultation type. A descriptive study was done. The relationship between the willingness of consultation model in the future (telemedicine vs traditional) and the categorical variables was analysed through the chi-squared test. Results: A total of 115 patients were included. The average age was 59.9 years, being 60% women. The average score in each of the survey items was higher than 6 in all the questions but 1. 26.1% of the surveyed patients confessed being advocated to tele-assistance in the future. The only factors related to greater willingness to tele-assistance were male gender (37% vs 18.8%; P = .03) and a higher academic preparation level in favour of higher technical studies (35.9%) and university studies (32.4%) opposite to the rest ( P = .043). The rest of variables studied, job status, labour regimen, diagnostic group and consultation type did not show any relationship. Conclusions: A vast majority of patients answered favourably to almost all the items of the survey. However, only 26.1% of them would choose a model of tele-assistance without restrictions.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected the Italian health systems and drastically impacted healthcare workers’ daily routine and training. Simulation is an efficient tool to provide medical education, especially in the case of incoming public health emergencies. This study investigated the role and activities of Italian simulation centres (SCs) during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThe population was identified through a web search. The directors of Italian SCs were contacted via email and then enrolled. A structured interview was created, internally validated and administrated by phone to participants.ResultsFollowing the government’s ordinance, 37 (88.37%) SCs had to be closed to the public. Twenty (46.51%) SCs organised in situ simulation while 7 (16.28%) of them organised simulation inside the centre. Twenty-three (53.49%) SCs resorted to telematic modalities to provide training about COVID-19 and 21 (48.84%) of them for other training. Up to date, 13 SCs are still closed to the public.ConclusionsItaly has been severely hit by COVID-19, with differences between the regions. Almost all the SCs were closed, with only a few delivering training. The SCs took advantage of emergent technologies to create new ways to train people safely. Unfortunately, nearly one-fourth of Italian SCs have not reopened yet. The evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic calls for reconsideration about training activities including adequate safety measures implemented for all individuals involved.

The Indigenous people of Malaysia are a heterogeneous community scattered over more than 852 villages in Peninsular Malaysia. This community has been identified to be among the poorest and marginalized in Peninsular Malaysia. This study evaluates the well-being factors as well as problems that hinder the development of an Indigenous community in Peninsular Malaysia. This article adopted a quantitative approach based on data collected through survey and 2,136 respondents were interviewed. The study reveals that the Indigenous community is likely to remain poor in terms of economic status significantly because of insufficient access to basic education and the inability of being employed. This is also due to the inability to receive support for housing, economic livelihood, and other social infrastructures. In addition, the study indicates that economic status and access to education are the most significant factors that may help improve the overall well-being of an Indigenous community. This finding also suggests that the social and environmental aspects in Peninsular Malaysia have not improved together with economic development.

The concept of social capital, due to its nature and content, is associated with almost all the issues in the human, social and health fields. On the other hand, the role of happiness and joy in mental health, physical health, and social inclusion are very important in the field of health. The purpose of this study was to investigate the components of social capital and its relation with social happiness of students in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2017. This study is descriptive-correlational. The research population consisted of 450 students in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2017who were selected by cluster sampling. Bullen& Onyx Standard Social Capital Questionnaire and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-23 software. In this research, social capital score was 3.17 ± 0.45 according to the students' score and the mean score of the social happiness was 3.68 ± 0.14. There was a positive and significant relationship between two variables of social capital and social happiness of students (r=0.423). Among the social capital fields, the variables of the value of life, trust, and security had the most and the least relationship with the overall social happiness. Social capital and its aspects have a direct and significant relationship with the social happiness; therefore, with increasing the social capital, the level of social happiness increases.
