Introduction: Studies on COVID-19 disease in patients with tuberculosis (TB) have not yet been widely performed and clear results have not been presented. It was found that; COVID-19 infection in TB patients quickly leads to disease and causes death in a small number of them. However, the prognosis of co-infection has not been evaluated in long run, since the association between TB and covid-19 cannot be ruled out, and therefore appropriate precautions and health system preparation are needed to deal with the impending burden of co-infection. The aim of this study was to provide a clear picture of the effects of these two diseases with each other. Methods: This study is considered as a systematic review of secondary studies. The statistical population is the studies that have been conducted in relation to the above topic and in the world. These articles were extracted from the databases of PubMed, Magiran, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Out of 180 articles, 52 articles were related to our subject were selected, while 30 duplicates were removed from this number, hence 30 articles were selected. Finally, after a qualitative review, 12 articles were included in the study and the results of five articles were analyzed. Results: Studies have shown that co-infection with COVID-19 and tuberculosis can increase mortality; TB is also likely to exacerbate the course of COVID-19 for the infected population and may increase the TB epidemic in the short term after the end of the COVID-19 epidemic is effective, so appropriate precautions and preparation of the health system are needed to deal with the impending burden of co-infection. Conclusion: COVID-19 disease and its limitations may have a significant impact on the presentation and monitoring of TB control strategies nationally and globally. Concerns about delays in treating TB patients make their disease worse, and therefore broader management should be conducted.

This study aims to find the answer to the question how the ESG performance of the companies in the MSCI ACWI Index affects short-term profitability. The dependent variables of the analysis are the return on sales and the ROC/WACC ratio measuring added value. The ESG scores are the S&P Global SAM ratings. As the goal of the study is to assess the short-term effects, the 2019 profitability-ESG relation is examined along with several control variables. In studies analysing sustainability, measurement, specification errors and endogeneity are frequent which we manage by applying GMM procedure with robust instrumental variables. Based on our calculations, the relationship between financial and ESG performance is mostly neutral in the specific industries, which may help the achievement of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in the long run.

This review study aimed to verify how studies conducted in Brazil have related infant mortality to prenatal care and to present contributions of the clinic in the light of Canguilhem and Foucault for qualification of the care. An integrative literature review was conducted from searches in the databases SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE and BDENF for the period 2000 to 2009. The relationship between infant mortality and prenatal care is related to the insufficient number of consultations or to the quality of the care provided. Even when the number of and routine consultations in the prenatal care were adequate, avoidable deaths were present. For the qualification of prenatal care, it is suggested that the clinical knowledge and other elements that comprise the process of human living are considered, in order that the clinical view is enlarged and articulated to the technologies available in the health system and, together, they are able to contribute to the reduction of infant mortality in Brazil.

I investigate the relationship between short-term instability and output growth in the European regions, using disaggregated data for six manufacturing activities over the period 1980–2006. The results show a positive link between sectoral volatility and growth. This finding is robust to the inclusion of additional explanatory variables in the analysis and is not driven by any specific sector or country. The observed relationship suggests that traditional stabilization policies that attempt to reduce the fluctuations of the business cycle may be harmful for regional growth in the long run.

The following study clarifies the role of risk attitude in revolving the relationship between Financing Objectives and personality characteristics and the moderating role of investment savvy between risk attitude and financing objectives by the particular sample size of 200 students. The participants of the study belonged from finance background. To simplify the collected data, the regression analyses was utilized in a flow to implicate the effect upon the dependent variables of the independent variables. To get more enhanced results, the mediator and the moderator were uplifted. Hence by, the results revealed that individuals who are activity, determined, and sympathy towards others are more willing to opt for STFO (short term financing objectives). Whilst, in long run extraversion, openness to experience and agreeableness, and conscientiousness traits are more inclined towards LTFO (long term financing objectives). Moreover, the study further mentions that STFO and LTFO are not much affected by investment savvy of an individuals. Nonetheless, the investment savvy is not really bothered by the relationship of financing objectives and risk attitude.
