    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), now named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), may change the risk of stroke through an enhanced systemic inflammatory response, hypercoagulable state, and endothelial damage in the cerebrovascular system. Moreover, due to the current pandemic, some countries have prioritized health resources towards COVID-19 management, making it more challenging to appropriately care for other potentially disabling and fatal diseases such as stroke. The aim of this study is to identify and describe changes in stroke epidemiological trends before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This is an international, multicenter, hospital-based study on stroke incidence and outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will describe patterns in stroke management, stroke hospitalization rate, and stroke severity, subtype (ischemic/hemorrhagic), and outcomes (including in-hospital mortality) in 2020 during COVID-19 pandemic, comparing them with the corresponding data from 2018 and 2019, and subsequently 2021. We will also use an interrupted time series (ITS) analysis to assess the change in stroke hospitalization rates before, during, and after COVID-19, in each participating center. CONCLUSION: The proposed study will potentially enable us to better understand the changes in stroke care protocols, differential hospitalization rate, and severity of stroke, as it pertains to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, this will help guide clinical-based policies surrounding COVID-19 and other similar global pandemics to ensure that management of cerebrovascular comorbidity is appropriately prioritized during the global crisis. It will also guide public health guidelines for at-risk populations to reduce risks of complications from such comorbidities.

    Exploring engagement at ArtPlay: What factors influence the engagement of children and families in an artist-led community-based workshop?
    Brown, R ; Andersen, J ; Weatherald, H (SAGE Publications, 2010-01-01)
    THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ARTS to the creative, cultural and social development of children is increasingly acknowledged. In recognition of this, ArtPlay was established in 2005 by the City of Melbourne. Open to children aged three to 12 years, the facility provides a wide range of artist-led programs that serve a broad community, including parents and teachers. While institutions such as ArtPlay are emerging in response to a growing community demand, there has yet to be significant and sustained research into processes and outcomes of such organisations. This paper reports on a three-year Australia Research Council-funded research project (2007–2009) that has been designed to identify, map and evidence the practices of ArtPlay in relation to engagement, learning and cultural citizenship. Through reference to the responses of children, families and artists to one key ArtPlay program, Pocketfool for preschoolers, this paper explores the question: What factors influence the engagement of children and families in an artist-led community-based workshop?

    A Place for Sound: Raising Children's Awareness of their Sonic Environment
    Deans, J ; Brown, R ; Dilkes, H (SAGE Publications, 2005-12)
    This paper reports on an experiential project that involved a group of children aged four to five years and their teachers in an investigation of sounds in their local environment. It describes the key elements of an eight-week teaching and learning program that encouraged children to experience and re-experience their surrounding sound environments through a variety of listening tasks, ‘sound walks’ and reflective art-making. Informed by diverse disciplines such as acoustic ecology (Schafer, 1992), music education (Dilkes, 1998) and environmental education (Palmer, 1998), this project aimed to make the ‘sounds of place’ explicit, to illuminate children's understandings of sound and to document these early experiences. The key questions asked were, ‘Are young children motivated to investigate sounds in their local environment and, if so, how can the teacher support this process?’ Data was collected in the form of digital audio recordings, written ‘listening lists’, child interviews, a project booklet, photographs and children's artworks. This study provides guidance for early childhood educators who wish to incorporate the ‘sounds of place’ within a multi-sensory program, so as to assist children to make a deeper connection with their surrounding environment.
