Introduction: Preventive self-care behaviors such as home quarantine are very important in preventing COVID-19. The aim of this study was to explore the factors of non-compliance with home quarantine during the outbreak of COVID-19. Methods: This study was conducted with a qualitative content analysis approach in 2020 in Iran. In order to collect information, 24 samples were selected by purposive sampling method and semi-structured interviews were conducted with them. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and the collected data were analyzed using the contractual content analysis approach using Elo and Kingas method. Results: Analyzing the data revealed in six main themes and fourteen main categories, including: necessities for everyday activities and living (with subthemes providing the necessities of life, forced by work/job insecurity, need for fun/entertainment, sports), mental instability in adults/children (with subthemes of mental states, restlessness of children), spiritual and religious beliefs (with subthemes of belief in fate and immunity/disease immunity, right to know death), managerial problems/confusion (with subthemes of government mismanagement, expectations from the government, economic turmoil), marital incompatibility (with subthemes domestic violence), adherence to socio-cultural patterns (with the subthemes of sociocultural factors). Conclusion: According to the results, it should be noted that several factors are contributing to non-compliance with home quarantine that it is necessary for the relevant authorities to take measures to remove these obstacles and provide the necessary facilities.

“…Considering there is no specific treatment for the disease yet, all countries are focused on control and prevention strategies [8]. A few recommended intervention strategies for prevention and control focused on maintaining social distancing, hand washing, wearing masks, closing schools, universities and other public places, and staying at home [9][10][11]. In general, a country's preparedness, management and response to epidemic disease outbreaks are very important.…”

Introduction: This critical study was aimed to investigate the utility of the Global Health Security Index (GHSI) in predicting the current COVID-19 responses.Material and Methods: Number of infected patients, deaths, incidence and the death rate per 100,000 populations related to 55 countries per week for 26 weeks were extracted. The relationship of GHSI scores and country preparedness for the pandemic was compared.Results: According to the GHSI, the incidence rate in most prepared countries was higher than the incidence rate in the more prepared countries, and which was higher than the incidence rate in the least prepared countries. However, Prevention, Detection and reporting, Rapid response, Health system, compliance with international norms and Risk environment, as well as Overall, the incidence and death rate per 100,000 people have not been like this.Conclusion: Due to mismatch between the GHSI score and fact about COVID-19 incidence, it seems necessary to investigate the factors involved in this discrepancy.

Background: Nanotechnology is a cornerstone of the scientific advances witnessed over the past few years. Nanotechnology applications are extensively broad, and an overview of the main trends worldwide can give an insight into the most researched areas and gaps to be covered. Objective: This document presents an overview of the trend topics of the three leading countries studying in this area, as well as Brazil for comparison. Method: The data mining was made from the Scopus database and analyzed using the VOSviewer and Voyant Tools software. Results: More than 44.000 indexed articles published from 2010 to 2020 revealed that the countries responsible for the highest number of published articles are The United States, China, and India, while Brazil is in the fifteenth position. Thematic global networks revealed that the standing-out research topics are health science, energy, wastewater treatment, and electronics. In a temporal observation, the primary topics of research are: India (2020), which was devoted to facing SARS-COV 2; Brazil (2019), which is developing promising strategies to combat cancer; China (2018), whit research on nanomedicine and triboelectric nanogenerators; the United States (2017) and the Global tendencies (2018) are also related to the development of triboelectric nanogenerators. The collected data are available on GitHub. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the innovative use of data-mining technologies to gain a comprehensive understanding of nanotechnology's contributions and trends and highlights the diverse priorities of nations in this cutting-edge field.
