The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker

Various environmental factors influence the outbreak and spread of epidemic or even pandemic events which, in turn, may cause feedbacks on the environment. The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic on 13 March 2020 and its rapid onset, spatial extent and complex consequences make it a once-in-a-century global disaster. Most countries responded by social distancing measures and severely diminished economic and other activities. Consequently, by the end of April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to numerous environmental impacts, both positive such as enhanced air and water quality in urban areas, and negative, such as shoreline pollution due to the disposal of sanitary consumables. This study presents an early overview of the observed and potential impacts of the COVID-19 on the environment. We argue that the effects of COVID-19 are determined mainly by anthropogenic factors which are becoming obvious as human activity diminishes across the planet, and the impacts on cities and public health will be continued in the coming years.

Polarization and the Global Crisis of Democracy: Common Patterns, Dynamics, and Pernicious Consequences for Democratic Polities:

Patient Safety is a global health priority. Every year, millions of patients suffer or die because of unsafe and poor- health care service. There are several factors which compromise patient safety and cause potential harm in health care settings. In developed countries, it is estimated that one in every 10 patients is harmed while receiving care in hospital. In developing countries, there is inadequate information on adverse event due to poor quality of health care service. Despite recent developments in Bangladesh, there is still great concern about the quality of care in healthcare sector.
