    Abstract Objectives: While older adults living alone face challenges to maintaining social ties, elders in urban areas also have unique opportunities for daily socializing that can buffer against loneliness.
    Method: Drawing on 5 years of ethnographic fieldwork among elders in New York City, this study presents empirical insights into the development of supplementary neighborhood-based networks of support for older people living alone and vulnerable to isolation.
    Results: This study finds that elders who lived alone, without close kin, engaged in daily gossip about other older people they encountered as regulars in local eateries. Despite its negative reputation, gossip helped them connect and access less conventional social support close to home. The majority resisted formal organizations, such as churches or senior centers, and thus their interactions in public venues served as an important source of social involvement. In line with Gluckman's argument (1963), gossip betrayed emotional intimacy and caretaking that connected people who could have fallen off the social radar.
    Discussion: Higher rates of divorce and lifelong singlehood, coupled with increased longevity, will compel greater numbers of older adults to construct alternative support networks. My findings suggest that more will draw these connections from unconventional venues such as neighborhood public places.

    Abstract Purpose: Cancer pathology reports have traditionally been narrative with limited reliable information. In high-income countries, synoptic format reporting has gradually been introduced to improve patient care and cancer registry input. We posited that introduction of synoptic style reporting was possible in Nicaragua and could serve as a model for other low- and middle-income countries.
    Materials and methods: The Department of Pathology, Hospital Escuela Oscar Danilo Rosales Argüello (HEODRA), León, Nicaragua, decided to introduce and implement synoptic reporting for all cancer cases beginning in 2018. All 10,012 histopathologic case reports issued by the department from January 1, 2018, through June 30, 2020, were reviewed. After excluding benign lesions, recurrent or metastatic tumors, endometrial biopsies or curettage, and primary cytologic specimens, 724 cases met the criteria for synoptic style reporting. The narrative format, previously used for all cases, was intentionally abandoned.
    Results: Of the 10,012 reports reviewed at HEODRA during the study period, synoptic-style reporting was used for all 724 cancer cases that met criteria for inclusion in the study. In addition, all elements were listed in the required order. Narrative format of reporting was not used for any of the reports.
    Conclusion: Our experience in Nicaragua has shown that establishing synoptic-style cancer pathology reporting is achievable in a low- or middle-income country. Just as in high-income countries, a dedicated collaborative step-by-step conversion to synoptic reporting can lead to improvement in cancer patient care and quality of data for population-based registries.

    Abstract This paper studies the updated estimation method for estimating the transmission rate changes over time. The models for the population dynamics under SEIR epidemic models with stochastic perturbations are analysed the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bogotá, Colombia. We performed computational experiments to interpret COVID-19 dynamics using actual data for the proposed models. We estimate the model parameters and updated their estimates for reported infected and recovered data.

    Abstract There are several determinants of a population's health, including meteorological factors and air pollution. For example, it is well known that low temperatures and air pollution increase mortality rates in infant and elderly populations. With the emergence of SARS-COV-2, it is important to understand what factors contribute to its mitigation and control. There is some research in this area which shows scientific evidence on the virus's behavior in the face of these variables. This research aims to quantify the impact of climatic factors and environmental pollution on SARS-COV-2 specifically the effect on the number of new infections in different areas of Chile. At the local level, historical information available from the Department of Statistics and Health Information, the Chilean National Air Quality Information System, the Chilean Meteorological Directorate, and other databases will allow the generation of panel data suitable for the analysis. The results show the significant effect of pollution and climate variables measured in lags and will allow us to explain the behavior of the pandemic by identifying the relevant factors affecting health, using heteroskedastic models, which in turn will serve as a contribution to the generation of more effective and timely public policies for the control of the pandemic.

    Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) will help to decarbonize energy systems. However, their connection to on-board level 2 chargers (7.2 kW) at household facilities brings challenges to Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) as they can affect the power quality of low voltage (LV) networks. In order to truly assess these effects, the electrical behavior of the on-board charger in terms of its non-linear content, power demand, and charge rate must be understood first. Nonetheless, most modeling methodologies with this aim result in circuital approaches, and thus, in heavy computational burdens, or assume simplified representations that do not correspond to the reality of the charge. To overcome this, we present a new methodology to model the power quality characteristics of EVs based on measured data from the harmonic spectra of the charger. The model provides a precise and efficient electrical characterization, where probabilistic models of the harmonic spectra are used to compute the power demand during every stage of the charge. Due to its probabilistic nature, these harmonic spectra are represented using Gaussian Mixture Models. We validate the model contrasting simulated data versus real measured one. Then, we illustrate a case study of the model in a LV network power quality assessment with different EV penetration levels, considering time-series harmonic power flows with 10-min resolution under a Monte Carlo approach. Obtained results revealed an increase in the network chargeability and voltage unbalance, along with an increased content of the third harmonic, which appears to be the most intense.
