In the context of the lockdown restrictions, the aim of the present study was to explore the extent to which emergency states and higher institutions closure affected academic engagement among studying youth. In this direction, data were collected from 227 undergraduate students (N=227) enrolled in different fields of study in public universities in Romania. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-9S) (Schaufeli et al., 2006) was used to assess Romanian students’ academic involvement in the particular context of remote learning imposed by coronavirus outbreak. An additional open question was introduced in the present study, to analyse personal experiences and activities undertaken by students during the stay-at-home period. The main findings of our research were discussed in relation with students’ average degree of academic engagement, the psychometric properties assessment, the resilience stories and its effects on students’ Thesis, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2020 3 Delia Ștefenel & Iuliana Neagoș mental health and academic involvement. Emphasis was given to a deeper understanding of students’ responsiveness and proactiveness concerning behavioural, cognitive, and emotional engagement in their remote academic learning and non- academic life. Keywords: academic engagement, UWES, students, Romania The year 2020 has witnessed huge concern in researching the impact of Covid-19 on people’s daily commitments and behaviours. Such topic has received much attention especially when it comes to rethinking the remote learning environment and the way it affects students’ well-being and their resilience building mechanisms (Kanekar,

  • An Appraisal of Communication Practices Demonstrated by Romanian District Public Health Authorities at the Outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic
    sustainability Article An Appraisal of Communication Practices Demonstrated by Romanian District Public Health Authorities at the Outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic Mariana Cernicova-Buca * and Adina Palea * Department of Communication and Foreign Languages, Politehnica University Timisoara, 300006 Timisoara, Romania * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.C.-B.); [email protected] (A.P.) Abstract: Communication during an ongoing crisis is a challenging task that becomes even more demanding during a public health crisis. Early in the start of the pandemic, global leaders called upon the public to reject infodemics and access official sources. This article focuses on the communicative aspects of health services management, with a particular focus on the communication strategy of the Romanian district public health authorities during the COVID-19 lockdown, as seen on official websites and social networks. The 15 most affected districts were selected, according to the officially reported health cases. The issued press releases and the posts on Facebook pages show an uneven experience on the part of district authorities in dealing with public information campaigns. In addition, the results of the study indicate a lack of sustainable communication approaches as well as the need of professional training and strategy in dealing with the public health crisis. From a Citation: Cernicova-Buca, M.; Palea, communication point of view, a strategic approach on behalf of the public health sector is crucial to A. An Appraisal of Communication enhance the preparedness of appropriate institutions to act during emergencies and to respond to the Practices Demonstrated by Romanian needs of the media and the public with timely, correct, and meaningful information.

    REVISTA PRESEI Guvernul urmează să aprobe astăzi proiectul de lege care interzice cumulul pensiei cu salariul în sistemul public Guvernul urmează să aprobe în şedinţa de miercuri proiectul de lege privind unele măsuri pentru continuarea activităţii de către persoanele care îndeplinesc condiţiile de pensionare în sistemul public de pensii în sensul acordării posibilităţii reîncadrării acestora până la vârsta de 70 de ani în instituţii publice, dar cu condiţia suspendării plăţii pensiei pe această perioadă. În actul normativ se propune ca persoanele care au calitatea de pensionari ai sistemului public de pensii, beneficiari ai pensiilor de serviciu sau beneficiari ai sistemului pensiilor militare de stat să poată reveni în muncă, pe un post într-o instituție de stat cu condiţia suspendării plăţii pensiei. Reîncadrarea pensionarilor se poate realiza până la împlinirea vârstei de 70 de ani. ”Având în vedere constrângerile bugetare şi reducerea costurilor suportate din bugetul de stat în privinţa cheltuielilor de personal, proiectul de lege propune o revizuire a legislaţiei aplicabile în cazul cumulului pensiei cu salariul şi o alternativă prin care un angajat din sistemul public poate exercita opţiunea între pensie şi veniturile salariale aferente raportului de muncă. De aceea, în sistemul public, posibilitatea continuării activităţii este însoţită de suspendarea plăţii pensiei", se arată în expunerea de motive a proiectului de act normativ.

  • Timing of Surgery Following SARS‐Cov‐2 Infection
    Anaesthesia 2021 doi:10.1111/anae.15458 Original Article Timing of surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international prospective cohort study COVIDSurg Collaborative* and GlobalSurg Collaborative* NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery, Birmingham, UK Summary Peri-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection increases postoperative mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal duration of planned delay before surgery in patients who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection. This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study included patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery during October 2020. Surgical patients with pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection were compared with those without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality. Logistic regression models were used to calculate adjusted 30-day mortality rates stratified by time from diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection to surgery. Among 140,231 patients (116 countries), 3127 patients (2.2%) had a pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. Adjusted 30-day mortality in patients without SARS-CoV-2 infection was 1.5% (95%CI 1.4–1.5). In patients with a pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, mortality was increased in patients having surgery within 0–2 weeks, 3–4 weeks and 5–6 weeks of the diagnosis (odds ratio (95%CI) 4.1% (3.3–4.8), 3.9% (2.6–5.1) and 3.6% (2.0–5.2), respectively). Surgery performed ≥ 7 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis was associated with a similar mortality risk to baseline (odds ratio (95%CI) 1.5% (0.9– 2.1%)).

On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan center was placed in quarantine, where all public transport in Wuhan and Wuhan were suspended. The nearby cities of Huanggang, Ezhou, Chibi, Jingzhou and Zhejiang have also been quarantined since 24 January 2020. Coronavirus 2019-nCoV was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, after people developed pneumonia without a clear cause and for which existing vaccines or treatments were not effective. The virus shows evidence of person-to- person transmission, and the transmission rate (infection rate) appears to have escalated in mid-January, from other cases than those reported by China so far. The first cases of coronavirus in Romania and the Republic of Moldova were confirmed on February 26 and March 7, 2020 respectively. Keywords: coronavirus pandemic, quarantine, number of deaths, number of diseases JEL classification: C 30 1. Introducere The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, also known as the Wuhan coronavirus, outbreak of Chinese pneumonia or Wuhan pneumonia began on December 12, 2019 in downtown Wuhan, China, when a group of people with pneumonia of unknown cause appeared, was mainly related to the stall owners who worked at the Huanan fish market, who also sold live animals. Subsequently, Chinese scientists isolated a new coronavirus, called 2019-nCoV, which was found to be at least 70% similar in the sequence of SARS-CoV genes.

  • Covid-19-Overview March-27.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 crisis has rampaged across the European Union over the last two weeks and has already left a very different Union in its trail. The European institutions have entered an effective lockdown, national borders have been re-erected and financial institutions are preparing for an economic slowdown to rival that of the 2008 financial crisis. Initially accused of being slow to react, the European Union and its member states have sprung into action over the few weeks and launched a series of major countermeasures at both the Union and national level. These measures have touched issues across the board ranging from national lockdowns, to school closures, to new state aid measures to help those impacted by the crisis to an injection of some 750 billion euros into the economy. Whilst the member states remain responsible for national health issues, COVID-19 and its impact across the board has meant that the EU has had to be involved. This remains the start of this crisis which promises to go on for some months and it is certain that the situation will remain fluid for some time. This paper gives an insight to the measures taken at the European, national and global levels over the last week and is accurate at the time of writing. However, given the speed with which developments are proceeding, it is likely that the situation will have changed once again by the end of the weekend. ➢ GLOBAL OUTLOOK ➢ EUROPEAN UNION ➢ TIMELINE: MARCH 16-20 ➢ MEMBER STATES GLOBAL OUTLOOK The week began with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres calling for a global ceasefire to protect the most vulnerable people, considering the catastrophic impact that the spread of the virus could have in conflict areas.
