Honduras is in the position 68th worldwide with 4, 151 reported deaths and 170, 304 confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of March 1st, 2021. This literature review was conducted to provide a scientific perspective on the use of the MAIZ protocol (Microdacyn, Azithromycin, Ivermectin and Zinc) proposed for therapeutic and prophylactic uses during the early infection/viral response phase and asymptomatic contacts of COVID-19. A literature review was conducted from government institutions and international agencies guidelines, scientific articles, and studies in PubMed, The Lancet, SciELO. The review was limited to articles in Spanish and English published between 2010 and the 1st of March 2021, concluding that the MAIZ protocol lacks scientific evidence that supports the effectiveness against COVID-19, and clinical trials are needed to support its use responsibly. ; Honduras se encuentra en el puesto 56 a nivel mundial con 4,151 muertes reportadas y 170,304 casos confirmados de COVID-19 hasta el 1 de marzo del 2021. Esta revisión bibliográfica se llevó a cabo con el propósito de brindar una perspectiva científica sobre el uso del protocolo MAIZ (Microdacyn, Azitromicina, Ivermectina y Zinc) propuesto para uso terapéutico y profiláctico durante la fase de infección precoz/respuesta viral y contactos asintomáticos de COVID-19. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre los lineamientos de instituciones gubernamentales y organismos internacionales, artículos y estudios científicos en PubMed, The Lancet, SciELO.

This report revisits a previous case study focused on the computing machinery and design of communication that are employed at the local, county, regional, state, and federal levels in Oregon to collect, review, and publish damage assessments of disasters and other emergency events. Since the last report, emergency managers throughout Oregon have faced numerous disaster incidents, including the COVID-19 pandemic, ice storms, flooding, and some of the worst heat waves, drought conditions, and megafires on record, with the threat of more to come in the years ahead. After years of research and development, fueled by lessons learned from a catastrophic wildfire season, a new generation of damage assessment tools and shared services has been pushed to the fore, ones which integrate geographic information systems and relational spatial databases not only to help assess damage but also automate and coordinate workflows. This revisitation explores the urgency and impetus for change and analyzes the Oregon Damage Assessment Project, a statewide initiative of the Office of Emergency Management to standardize shared tools and services for government agencies, partner organizations, and the public at large.

This paper investigates inefficiency/merger dynamics in the English higher education sector from 1996–97 to 2008–9. Merging can lead to greater efficiency, and this is the motivation for encouraging merger in the English higher education sector in a period of austerity. But inefficiency can also contribute towards the decision to merge, meaning that the relationship is two‐way. Although there is literature on the effects of merging in higher education, the dynamics are typically not modelled. This paper examines the differences in efficiency between pre‐merging, post‐merging and non‐merging universities, and explores the evolution of the effects over time following the merger. We develop a dynamic model of inefficiency and merger the estimation of which relies on Bayesian techniques organized around the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo. We find that typically merger delivers efficiency gains in the first instance, but these plateau soon after merger. Moreover, there is a wide dispersion around mean efficiency and there is a substantial group of mergers where the probability of efficiency improvement is relatively low. The policy implication is that merging universities is not a universal solution to improving their efficiency.

This dissertation explores the cultural presence of the quarto book in Romantic-era Britain and argues that the format classed the period's defining literary ideologies--from sentimentalism, to liberalism, to Wordsworthian Romanticism, to orientalism--as luxuries meant exclusively for the nation's wealthiest consumers. Chapter 1 situates the quarto within the context of the period's luxury debates and advances a conception of the quarto as the era's predominant luxury format. Focusing on Oliver Goldsmith's The Deserted Village, Chapter 2 argues that early quarto editions of the poem classed the sympathetic feeling it celebrated as the unique privilege of a readerly elite and describes how the poem was later appropriated and repurposed by radically oriented Irish and English printers. In so doing, the chapter shows that British sentimentalism's political alignments were shaped by the formats of its major texts as much as changing political contexts. Chapter 3 argues that the Crown's refusal to prosecute quarto publications during the 1790s gave the format a protected status that was exploited by the era's major publisher of respectably radical political literature, Joseph Johnson. By publishing the anti-monarchical poems of Blake, Barlow, Wordsworth, and Coleridge in quarto, Johnson curbed their seditious tendencies and configured them as liberal works whose textual appeals to middle-class audiences were reinforced by their bibliographic format. Chapter 4 examines William Wordsworth's use of the quarto format to publish his career-defining poem The Excursion, arguing that the poem's quarto publication was not only intended to mitigate Wordsworth's anxieties of influence or declare his newly Royalist political alliance but that it also succeeded in classing the poem's aesthetic ideology for many Regency readers. Chapter 5 investigates the quarto's role in stoking British fears about oriental luxury: by showing how the reception of Regency-period oriental verse quartos like Robert Southey's The Curse of Kehama and ...

"Victorian Women's Travel Writing on Meiji Japan" examines forgotten stories of cross-cultural friendship and intimacy between Victorian female travel writers and Meiji Japanese. Drawing on unpublished primary sources and contemporary Japanese literature hithero untranslated into English it highlights the open subjectivity and addective relationality of Isabella Bird, Mary Crawford Fraser, and Marie Stopes in their interactions with Japanese hosts. The book demonstates how travel narratives and literary works about non-colonial Japan complicate and challenge Oriental stereotypes and imperial binaries. It traces the shifts in the representation of Japan in Victorian discourse from obsequious mousmé to virile samurai alongside transitions in the Anglo-Japanese bilateral relationship and global geopolitical events.
