Webinar on "Infodemic, Info-Vaccine and Libraries during the COVID-19 Pandemic "
Webinar on "Infodemic, Info-Vaccine and Libraries during the COVID-19 Pandemic "Naseej Academy أكاديمية نسيج
The term “infodemic”, first coined by Gunther Eysenbach in 2002, refers to the rapid, large-scale dissemination of all kinds of health information and misinformation through a variety of media and information channels.
The term is apt because the global consequences of this mode of information dissemination, which results in an overabundance of information, some of it accurate and some not, resembles the transmission of a pandemic.
The current COVID-19-related infodemic is of such significance that the World Health Organization has created Mythbusters to help stop the spread of misinformation, and multiple disciplines are collaborating in a new field of research – infodemiology – to combat this infodemic.
How can the library and information field respond? The Naseej Academy and Mortenson Center for International Library Programs will present a two-hour webinar on the infodemic during the COVID-19 pandemic for library and information specialists.
Webinar objectives
• Introduce the COVID-19-related infodemic, discuss the need for an information vaccine (Albright, 2016), and describe its significance for libraries.
• Explore solutions that library and information specialists can undertake, through a discussion of experiences with infodemics.
• Present ideas and actions that library and information specialists can undertake as solutions and to prevent the spread of the COVID-19-related infodemic.

This document discusses risk communication principles for influenza events. It begins by defining risk communication and explaining its importance for public health responses. It describes how the public perceives risks and how perceptions are influenced by factors like control and familiarity. The document outlines lessons from past outbreaks that effective risk communication requires building trust, acknowledging uncertainty, coordination, transparency, and involving affected communities. It recommends steps for risk communication including knowing when and to whom to communicate and translating scientific information for different audiences. The key principles of risk communication are creating and maintaining trust and understanding public concerns.

This research investigates the Impact of Health Facilities and low death rate of COVID-19-in Germany compare to other European Countries. Data were collected from various secondary sources COVID-19 data base. According to results German health system with its up to 4 fold higher number regional public hospitals and topic of many political discussions might have been one factor to keep mortality rate -according to the given database- low. However German doctors, without out any medicine like colleges all over the world were as helpless as everywhere.One essential fact according the statements of reputed virologists might be an early discovery of Corona infection by sincere attention, focussed testing and early start of treatment. In Germany with its the easy access to health service in combination with the large number of hospitals might be the reason for the „lower“ death rate. Not to forget the tremendous engagement of highly qualified doctors and nurses who were willing and able to work beyond imagination of a routine work. by Dr. Faiz Muhammad Shaikh 2020.

Infodemia y COVIDofobia
La INFODEMIA es un neologismo que expresa la sobreinformación que sobre un tema se genera, en algunos casos de forma precisa y en otros no, y que hace difícil a las personas encontrar fuentes fiables para encontrar orientación cuando se necesita. Este gran volumen de información de un tema específico en un corto periodo de tiempo origina una “infoxicación”, es decir, una intoxicación por información. Si esta intoxicación se asocia a una pandemia actual (como la COVID-19) el término infodemia guarda un razonable parecido, teniendo en cuenta que en el “totum revolutum” es campo sembrado para los dimes y diretes, para la rumorología, la información errónea y la manipulación de las noticias con intenciones dudosas. En la era de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación, de la Web 2.0, 3.0, 4.0… y las que vengan, este fenómeno se amplifica a través de las redes sociales, ese patio de vecinos sin control, extendiéndose más y más rápido que un virus esta información inválida o tóxica: de ahí el término “viralización”.
Si juntamos los efectos del virus SARS-CoV-2 con los efectos de la viralización de las redes sociales, y teniendo en cuenta dos principios conocidos en la comunicación periodística (que una buena noticia no es noticia y que las falacias se difunden más rápido que las verdades), tenemos el cóctel perfecto para crear el caos, el miedo y la COVIDofobia.
Y para que conste la preocupación por la infodemia basta revisar el documento adjunto de la PAHO (Pan American Health Organization), miembro de la Wordl Health Organization, donde se exponen algunos datos de interés para conocer la dimensión de este problema: en el último mes se han volcado 361 millones de vídeos en YouTube en relación con el tema de la COVID-19 y cerca de 20.000 artículos sobre el tema en Google Scholar, así como 550 millones de tweets en un mes que incluían el término COVID-19 o pandemia.
Es crítico disponer del acceso a la información, pero en el momento adecuado y en el formato adecuado. Hoy todo gira sobre lo mismo. Desayunamos, comemos, merendamos, cenamos y hasta dormimos con la misma noticia, visto desde tantas perspectivas y con tantos autoproclamados expertos que ya nos sabemos a qué atenernos. En este ambiente de infodemia, donde campa a sus anchas la prensa amarillista y los que sientan cátedra con la osadía de su desconocimiento, no se pueden aplicar los principios de calma y coherencia tan necesarios para la toma de decisiones.
Issues Facing the economy.docx
This document discusses several economic, social, and personal issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic according to discussions in online support groups for social workers. Key topics discussed include maintaining essential social services for at-risk populations during lockdowns, reinventing service delivery models to enable physical distancing, managing child protection cases remotely, balancing personal and professional responsibilities, and developing self-care strategies to prevent burnout. The groups provided a space for social workers to share challenges, solutions, and emotional support during an uncertain time.
Future Trends & Scenarios
- The document provides an overview and methodology for developing future scenarios to help local governments plan strategically.
- It identifies trends, uncertainties, and drivers that could shape different futures and impact policy. Four sample scenarios are presented based on the level of political control and direction of economic transformation.
- The scenarios range from "Centralised Transformation" led by the central government to "Local 'Spring'" led by decentralized councils and a sustainable, inclusive economic paradigm.
PHIG Minutes Rotterdam 1.6.2022
The Public Health Information Group held a meeting to discuss the future of the group. It was noted that the group originally started as a collaboration between WHO Documentation Centres but that role is no longer as prominent. Additionally, there is a lack of people willing to lead the group and participate in meetings. Given the overlap with topics of other special interest groups, the idea was introduced to close down PHIG and advise members to join other relevant groups. A discussion was had and members will provide feedback on the proposal to close the group.
PHIG Meeting Slides 1.6.2022 EAHIL Rotterdam

It provides details on the group's contacts, website, and aims of promoting equitable access to public health information and facilitating information sharing. It discusses the group's past workshops and conferences from 2016 to 2018. It also outlines the group's recent collaborative session with the WHO on their COVID-19 database. Finally, it asks members to envision the future of PHIG and ways to get involved.

Infodemia y COVIDofobia
La INFODEMIA es un neologismo que expresa la sobreinformación que sobre un tema se genera, en algunos casos de forma precisa y en otros no, y que hace difícil a las personas encontrar fuentes fiables para encontrar orientación cuando se necesita. Este gran volumen de información de un tema específico en un corto periodo de tiempo origina una “infoxicación”, es decir, una intoxicación por información. Si esta intoxicación se asocia a una pandemia actual (como la COVID-19) el término infodemia guarda un razonable parecido, teniendo en cuenta que en el “totum revolutum” es campo sembrado para los dimes y diretes, para la rumorología, la información errónea y la manipulación de las noticias con intenciones dudosas. En la era de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación, de la Web 2.0, 3.0, 4.0… y las que vengan, este fenómeno se amplifica a través de las redes sociales, ese patio de vecinos sin control, extendiéndose más y más rápido que un virus esta información inválida o tóxica: de ahí el término “viralización”.
Si juntamos los efectos del virus SARS-CoV-2 con los efectos de la viralización de las redes sociales, y teniendo en cuenta dos principios conocidos en la comunicación periodística (que una buena noticia no es noticia y que las falacias se difunden más rápido que las verdades), tenemos el cóctel perfecto para crear el caos, el miedo y la COVIDofobia.
Y para que conste la preocupación por la infodemia basta revisar el documento adjunto de la PAHO (Pan American Health Organization), miembro de la Wordl Health Organization, donde se exponen algunos datos de interés para conocer la dimensión de este problema: en el último mes se han volcado 361 millones de vídeos en YouTube en relación con el tema de la COVID-19 y cerca de 20.000 artículos sobre el tema en Google Scholar, así como 550 millones de tweets en un mes que incluían el término COVID-19 o pandemia.
Es crítico disponer del acceso a la información, pero en el momento adecuado y en el formato adecuado. Hoy todo gira sobre lo mismo. Desayunamos, comemos, merendamos, cenamos y hasta dormimos con la misma noticia, visto desde tantas perspectivas y con tantos autoproclamados expertos que ya nos sabemos a qué atenernos. En este ambiente de infodemia, donde campa a sus anchas la prensa amarillista y los que sientan cátedra con la osadía de su desconocimiento, no se pueden aplicar los principios de calma y coherencia tan necesarios para la toma de decisiones.

The Public Health Information Group held a meeting to discuss the future of the group. It was noted that the group originally started as a collaboration between WHO Documentation Centres but that role is no longer as prominent. Additionally, there is a lack of people willing to lead the group and participate in meetings. Given the overlap with topics of other special interest groups, the idea was introduced to close down PHIG and advise members to join other relevant groups. A discussion was had and members will provide feedback on the proposal to close the group.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

EAHIL Lodz 2020 Online Public Health Information Group Meeting
- 1. EAHIL Lodz Online 2020 Public Health Information Group Meeting Time: Tuesday 17th November at 1-2 pm CET; Place: Zoom: https://umed-lodz-pl.zoom.us/j/82423316781 Minutes Chair: Ana-Belen Escriva, with co-chairs Mala Mann and Tomas Allen Secretary: Katri Larmo 1. Acceptance of the agenda The meeting decided to discuss public health information in relation to the covid-19 pandemic. 2. COVID-19 and Systematic Reviews Mala presented the systematic review process on bereavement & covid-19 that she has been working with. See: Harrop E, Mann M, Semedo L, Chao D, Selman LE, Byrne A. What elements of a systems' approach to bereavement are most effective in times of mass bereavement? A narrative systematic review with lessons for COVID-19. Palliat Med. 2020 Oct;34(9):1165-1181. doi: 10.1177/0269216320946273. PMID: 32736489. We had an interesting exchange of views based on this. Here are some of the main points raised: · The importance of informing the political decision-makers on the systematic reviews · How to find the best evidence on cross-disciplinary topics; such as bereavement, communication & making friends online etc? Google Scholar may be important information source for this; in addition to the discipline specific and more controlled databases. · Good information source also Eppi Centre’s COVID-19: a living systematic map of the evidence: https://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Projects/DepartmentofHealthandSocialCare/Publishedreviews/COVID- 19Livingsystematicmapoftheevidence/tabid/3765/Default.aspx 3. WHO and COVID-19 Tomas gave on update on WHO and COVID-19. The main topics were: · WHO’s COVID-database · The WHO Library’s perspective during covid-19 pandemic: multilingual and multi-time-zone working, the highly grown workload, being present and contributing in emergency meetings. · Tomas’ presentation: https://www.slideshare.net/EAHILPHIG/eahil-lodz-online-public-health-group-meeting-2020 4. Lessons learned for Public Health Librarians In his presentation (see the last slide: https://www.slideshare.net/EAHILPHIG/eahil-lodz-online-public-health-group- meeting-2020) Tomas raised important questions for the meeting: lessons learned on covid-19 for public health librarians. Some of our main conclusions: · The need to guarantee the equal access to reliable information and fighting false information; with all languages, minorities and social groups. · The importance of coordination, to avoid duplicate work, increase the effectiveness of rapidly capturing the newest relevant information and increasing the visibility & impact of our work o We need to create a network of main players to make the coordination: including e.g. WHO, EDCD, Cochrane, Cambell, IFLA, NLM and of course EAHIL o The next step: having a follow up meeting on this; o Using also social media to spread the word 5. Close The chairs Ana-Belen, Mala and Tomas thanked all participants for the good discussion and ended the meeting at 2 pm.
