Living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with hardships for patients and their care partners. Empowering patients and their care partners, including family members or friends involved in their care, may help minimize the burden and consequences of CKD-related symptoms to enable life participation. There is a need to broaden the focus on living well with kidney disease and re-engagement in life, including an emphasis on patients being in control. The World Kidney Day (WKD) Joint Steering Committee has declared 2021 the year of “Living Well with Kidney Disease” to increase education and awareness on the important goal of patient empowerment and life participation. This calls for the development and implementation of validated patient-reported outcome measures to assess and address areas of life participation in routine care. It could be supported by regulatory agencies as a metric for quality care or to support labelling claims for medicines and devices. Funding agencies could establish targeted calls for research that address the priorities of patients. Patients with kidney disease and their care partners should feel supported to live well through concerted efforts by kidney care communities including during pandemics. In the overall wellness program for kidney disease patients, the need for prevention should be reiterated. Early detection with a prolonged course of wellness despite kidney disease, after effective secondary and tertiary prevention programs, should be promoted. WKD 2021 continues to call for increased awareness of the importance of preventive measures throughout populations, professionals, and policy-makers, applicable to both developed and developing countries.

The Museum of Futures: Pandemic Pivots is a work of collaborative foresight and participatory futures. In 2020, it is clear that we are living in post-normal times. A summer of catastrophic bushfires followed by a global pandemic has shown us all the importance of thinking about the future. In this exhibition, ten communities explored how they hoped that life in Sydney would pivot after the Covid-19 pandemic. Their ideas were given to nine Australian artists to interpret into works that you see in this exhibition. Alongside each work you will also see the 'history' of what happened to make this future occur.

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso apresentado ao Instituto Latino-Americano de Economia, Sociedade e Política da Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana, como requisito parcial à obtenção do título de Bacharel em Administração Pública e Políticas Públicas. A pandemia de COVID-19 teve um impacto significativo na sociedade, incluindo a economia da cultura. Este estudo examina o papel das políticas públicas de proteção social na mitigação desse impacto, com foco na implementação da Lei Aldir Blanc no Brasil. Essa legislação desempenhou um papel fundamental ao destinar recursos e adotar medidas abrangentes para apoiar os profissionais da cultura afetados pela crise. O estudo concentra-se na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu e analisa os efeitos da implementação da Lei Aldir Blanc nesse contexto, avaliando os benefícios e desafios associados a ela. Destaca-se também o papel da Fundação Cultural de Foz do Iguaçu como agente responsável pela implementação da lei. Os resultados enfatizam a importância contínua de políticas públicas eficazes para proteger os trabalhadores da economia da cultura no país, bem como a necessidade de fortalecer a estrutura da administração pública municipal para possibilitar uma implementação mais eficiente dessas políticas.
