On October 27, 1972, a discussion on Education in Forensic Science took place at the Police College, Bramshill. Dr. Saunders, President of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and Chairman of the Forensic Science Sub-Committee of the Home Office Scientific Advisory Committee, was in the Chair. There was no general agreement — indeed hardly any proposition went unchallenged — and the Chairman undoubtedly judged the sense of the meeting when he decided not to take a vote on anything. This is an attempt to set down (without attribution) some of the points that were made.

Abstract Mali, like the rest of the world, has seen a rapid spread of COVID-19 since the first report of imported cases. Despite being a low-income country, Mali has leveraged scientific research resources via coordinated approaches to enable public health emergency planning and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mali’s approach includes the harmonization of research activities; leveraging of research laboratory capacity of the University Clinical Research Center, Mali International Center for Excellence and three other in-country laboratories for community COVID-19 testing; strengthening relationships amongst local and international stakeholders; and collaboration with the Ministry of Health to integrate scientific evidence into public policy and emergency management of COVID-19 through a platform of consultation and open communication. The country has implemented national coordination of its COVID-19 response by establishing a COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Committee and a COVID-19 Technical Coordination Committee, both within the Ministry of Health and working collaboratively with other stakeholders. Members of Mali’s COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Committee also serve as leaders of its principal academic and government clinical and public health research entities. This centralised approach has enabled the prioritisation of COVID-19 control activities, informed allocation of resources, evidence-based public health practices and timely decision-making in the pandemic setting. Though challenges remain, lessons learned from Mali’s harnessing of clinical research capacity to guide and support its COVID-19 response can be applied to future global health research challenges and illustrate the power of building public health-responsive research capacity in resource-limited settings through international collaboration.

Voice Activity

TEMA: a auto-avaliação de um indivíduo sobre seu problema de voz e a análise do resultado de um tratamento são meios utilizados para verificar a efetividade de uma intervenção e desenvolver procedimentos diretivos para a prática clínica na área da saúde. Instrumentos psicométricos são as ferramentas mais comuns para essa tarefa. A validação de instrumentos de auto-avaliação pode ser realizada de diversas formas, com critérios claros e estruturados. OBJETIVO: apresentar o processo de validação para o Português Brasileiro de três protocolos de auto-avaliação para voz: Voice-Related Quality of Life - V-RQOL, Voice Handicap Index - VHI e Voice Activity and Participation Profile - VAPP, que receberam os seguintes nomes respectivamente: Qualidade de Vida em Voz - QVV, Índice de Desvantagem Vocal - IDV e Perfil de Participação e Atividades Vocais - PPAV, ressaltando as particularidades desses intrumentos e as adaptações necessárias para seu uso no Brasil. MÉTODOS: os três protocolos foram validados de acordo com os atributos sugeridos pelo Scientific Advisory Committee of Medical Outcomes Trust - SAC. RESULTADOS: os três protocolos tiveram as medidas psicométricas de validade, confiabilidade, reprodutibilidade e sensibilidade estatisticamente demonstradas, apresentando particularidades inerentes ao foco do instrumento. CONCLUSÃO: as versões brasileiras dos protocolos QVV, IDV e PPAV mostraram ser instrumentos específicos para avaliar pacientes que apresentam problemas de voz, com validade, confiabilidade e sensibilidade comprovadas. Tais instrumentos podem ser propostos para avaliação da qualidade de vida relacionada à voz, bem como para análise de resultado de tratamentos.
