HEAR MY VOICE: UNDERSTANDING HOW COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON EXPANDED THEIR ROLES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic led to the collapse of the Peruvian health system, disrupting healthcare access for indigenous communities in the Amazon.Our study analysed how community health workers (CHWs) from indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon expanded their roles to mitigate the effects of the Seeds COVID-19 pandemic.Methods Four

As carnivorans rely heavily on their head and jaws for prey capture and handling, skull morphology and bite force can therefore reflect their ability to take larger or more difficult-to-handle prey.For 568 feral and stray cats (Felis catus), we recorded their demographics (sex and age), source location (feral or stray) and morphological measures (b

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that exchange a multiplicity of signals with other cell compartments, in order to finely adjust key biological routines to the Insurance fluctuating metabolic needs of the cell.During neoplastic transformation, cells must provide an adequate supply of the anabolic building blocks required to meet a relentless pro

The prevention and evaluation of explosions requires suitable standards of measurement.As such, for this study two ignition thresholds, the ignition temperature and the minimum ignition irradiance were selected as the assessment criteria.These ignition threshold values were experimentally determined by heating stationary inert silicon carbide parti

As the global environmental crisis grows in scale and complexity, conservation professionals and policymakers are increasingly called upon to make decisions despite high levels of uncertainty, limited resources, and insufficient data.Global efforts to protect biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction require substantial international coope
