These results highlight the importance of receiving help, in care, especially among caregivers who care for patients who have undergone major amputation.

Informal caregivers of chronically ill patients often report burden and poor quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of caring on caregivers of amputated patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic foot. A cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of 110 caregivers who answered: the Burden Assessment Scale, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, the Social Support Satisfaction Scale, the Family Assessment Device, and the Short Form Health Survey. Multiple linear hierarchical regressions were performed to identify the variables that contributed to the burden and the physical and mental quality of life. Differences in burden as well as physical and mental quality of life were found, according to several caregivers' sociodemographic characteristics. Lower social support, more distress, and caregiver's perception of the impact of caring on the family dynamics contributed to burden. Lower distress and not having a chronic illness besides diabetes explained the physical quality of life whereas exercise and lower distress explained mental quality of life. To promote quality of life in caregivers and reduce the burden associated with caregiving, interventions should focus on social support, distress, and the practice of exercise.

Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been associated with a greater risk of later criminal offending. However, existing research in this area has been primarily conducted in Western developed countries and cross-cultural studies are rare. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between ACEs and criminal behaviors in young adults living in 10 countries located across five continents, after accounting for sex, age, and cross-national differences. Participants and setting: In total, 3797 young adults aged between 18 and 20 years (M = 18.97; DP = 0.81) were assessed locally in community settings within the 10 countries.

Report the experience of the Life in Quarantine Project with emphasis on the material produced by health professional who are at the front line of Coronavirus (COVID-19) combat. Experience report about the Life in Quarantine Project: mental health in focus. This project aimed to develop actions on social networks in April and May of 2020, by students and professors of two public universities. We highlighted in the article reports of 14 health professionals who are at the front line of COVID-19 combat focusing on their expressions of feelings and behaviors. Health professionals are experiencing challenges already known to their occupation, but now even more maximized. So, they referred to some feelings regarding such experience, like emotional instability; altruism; population appeal; belief in science; faith and hope; and fear of contamination. Pandemics raises the need for better mental health management with factors that enhance the mental well-being of health professionals. Also, there is a need for safety measures sustained by science, so that they operate in order to decrease negative impacts on physical and mental aspects on this public.

Current studies indicate that 1 in 68 children have Autism Spectrum Disease. It is known that early diagnosis and intervention can alter the course of development and significantly improve the prognosis of the disease. It is our intention to develop a task Recommendation System, which will use a Case-based Reasoning machine learning technique, in order to supplement the child's regular therapy. Besides the tasks' recommendation, this application will allow a closer monitoring by parents and a better coordination with the therapists, contributing to improve the results on child's development.

In order to promote physical quality of life, future intervention programmes should consider the presence of chronic disease in the caregiver and the duration of care, as well as the caregivers' physical symptoms.
