Adolescence et procréation. La naissance comme rite de passage en milieu populaire ?
Authors: Tillard Bernadette
Published: November 2020

si l’on peut considérer que toute naissance constitue un passage, celui de l’état de femme à l’état de mère, la naissance chez les jeunes femmes vivant en situation précaire marque l’affirmation d’un double passage. Il marque le passage habituel de la femme à la mère, mais il revendique également la reconnaissance sociale et familiale du passage au statut d’adulte, dans un temps plus court que la plupart des jeunes accédant aux études supérieures. Cet accès à la maternité présente des figures contrastées de la survenue inopinée d’une grossesse lors d’un rapport sexuel contraint à la planification de la naissance par un couple se connaissant depuis plusieurs années. Loin des stéréotypes de la « grossesse non suivie non déclaré », nos expériences de ces rencontres avec les jeunes femmes de milieux populaires nous invite à penser la multiplicité des modes d’accès à la maternité.

What we learn from helping each other
Authors: Rebelo André
Published: November 2020

The text below is a testimony. It tells the story of the creation of INFLEchir at the Université Paris-Sorbonne (now named Sorbonne University) and attempts to analyze the sources that enabled this experience to happen. How is a solidary experience formed ? What are the obstacles ? How can it last and what do we learn from it ? In the wake of the mobilization that followed the occupation of Lycée Jean Quarré in 2015, the story of InFLEchir does not give definitive answers to these questions and does not pretend to do so. Perhaps, though, it will make a modest contribution to shedding more light on research devoted to militant experiences.
Pensar la precariedad
Authors: López Alós Javier
Published: November 2020

A partir de algunos argumentos de su ensayo Crítica de la razón precaria. La vida intelectual ante la obligación de lo extraordinario (2019), el autor propone un enfoque que considere el fenómeno de la precariedad intelectual tanto en lo que afecta a la subjetividad como a la misma precariedad de los saberes. Para ello, se examinan ciertos conceptos clave en la estructura y funcionamiento de la precariedad y se ponen en relación con el carácter global de la configuración neoliberal de las prácticas educativas e investigadoras. Esta exposición de la “razón precaria” concluye con la reivindicación de una alternativa de la vida intelectual en clave plebeya
A reestruturação dos papéis de gênero e a criação das novas masculinidades
Authors: Santana Gabriela Rocha , Brito Worney Ferreira , Soares Wellington Danilo
Published: November 2020

OBJETIVO: identificar a visão do homem cisgênero diante dos novos papéis de gênero na sociedade brasileira contemporânea e da construção das novas masculinidades. MÉTODO: Trata de uma pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa e corte transversal, composta por uma amostra de 38 universitários do sexo masculino, com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos, acadêmicos dos diversos cursos de uma universidade pública estadual da cidade de Montes Claros - MG. O instrumento utilizado foi um questionário semiestruturado contendo vinte e três perguntas fechadas. RESULTADOS: Foi possível identificar um maior retraimento por parte dos sujeitos pretos que, em sua maioria (62,5%), afirmam não falarem sobre sentimentos. A maior discrepância observada se relaciona com as áreas de estudo, sendo que acadêmicos do Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Centro de Ciências Exatas e de Tecnologia e Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde afirmam ter dificuldade em ser e fazer o que desejam por receio da reação das pessoas, enquanto os do Cento de Ciências Humanas dizem nunca ter essa dificuldade, além de ser o único centro que quase nunca busca se informar sobre as novas construções sociais dos papéis de gênero. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados obtidos evidenciam as diferenças promovidas pela área de estudo como mais influentes do que a raça – não ignorando sua influência– e podem apontar um caminho para expandir os debates sobre papéis de gênero entre grupos de homens cisgênero, mesclando os debates de cada grupo a fim de encontrar o equilíbrio entre informação e posicionamento na sociedade.

Authors: Souza Leticia Gomes , Castelar Marilda , Santana Karine de Souza Oliveira , Souto Verena Souza
Published: November 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: A morte de jovens negros é o principal resultado da violência urbana. Quando esses jovens morrem deixam os seus familiares, principalmente as mães negras, em um contexto de sofrimento causado por essa perda. Nesse contexto, as mulheres negras desenvolvem formas de enfrentamento para lidar com a dor. OBJETIVO: Analisar formas de enfrentamento de mulheres negras diante do assassinato de seus filhos na capital baiana. MÉTODO: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo documental, realizada em sites que publicaram relatos dessas mulheres entre 2014 a 2019.  Os dados foram analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo, com fundamento em Minayo. Para a realização da pesquisa, fez-se o uso de documentos públicos e de acesso livre. RESULTADOS: Foram mapeados oito relatos de mães negras, sendo sete oriundos de jornais online e um em blog. Seus relatos revelam muito sofrimento psíquico, e desvelam contextos marcados por racismo, violências e violação de direitos. Nesse cenário emergiram algumas formas de enfrentamentos como a religiosidade, a busca por justiça e a percepção das mães negras diante do racismo. CONSIDERAÇÕES:  Foi possível conhecer a caminhada dessas mulheres que foram atravessadas pela violência e que a partir disso construíram formas de enfrentamento e cuidado. Os resultados apontam para maior necessidade de pesquisas que investiguem mais sobre esse sofrimento e seus desdobramentos na saúde mental dessas mães.
Corruption System against Russia
Authors: Nomokonov Vitaly A.
Published: November 2020

Today the corruption has become a major threat for the national security. Not only individual corrupted officials and embezzlers turn against Russia, but also a huge and powerful corruption system. Analysis of the corruption as a negative social phenomenon shows that it implies the totality of all corruption acts, all corrupted officials, as well as an entire independent corruptogenic system. This system often lacks the attention of analysts. Corruption has now acquired a systemic character in Russia. The institutions involved in the study of the corruption phenomenon in Russia include the Law School of Far Eastern Federal University, where in June 1997 the Vladivostok Centre for the Study of Organized Crime was established as part of a wider initiative of American University’s Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) to create and support United Research Centres on Organized Crime in Eurasia. The Centre researchers study the patterns and development of organized crime as well as methods of defeating the socially devastating manifestation of organized crime and the closely associated phenomena of corruption, money laundering, contract killings, illegal narcotics trade, etc. The Vladivostok Centre has produced a large body of research, analysis, translated international literature and popular scholarly works; it has prepared a number of books, textbooks, and academic articles, including many concerning corruption. The inefficiency of the state’s efforts to combat corruption is explained by the fact that the main corruption-causing factors remain unaddressed. They include deformation of the political sphere (privatization of the state, the absence of a real separation of powers, the dominance of the executive branch of government over all others, lack of necessary rotation, irreplaceable officials, lack of transparency, the presence of “shadow” power and “shadow” law)
On the Model of Public Entitties Participation in Civil Relations in Terms of the Legal Positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation
Authors: Bogdanova Inna S.
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of changing the model of participation of public legal entities in civil relations. This change is to be made by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the example of non-contractual obligations between the state and individuals. For this purpose there was made a study of legislative model of state participation in private relations, as stipulated in Articles 2 and 125 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, enlisted in the Resolutions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 16-P dated 22.06.2017 and No. 39-P dated 08.12.2017. As a result, the author concludes that the current legal model of participation of public legal entities in civil relations does not provide any exceptions for non-contractual obligations between the state and individuals. On the contrary, the legislators are consistent in addressing the issue of which state bodies are able to ensure the civil legal capacity of the individuals and under what conditions. Amendment of the above model by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation via expanding the list of bodies capable of creating legal consequences for public entities, without taking into account the scope of their competence, as well as differences between federal bodies and bodies of state power of the subjects of the Russian Federation, is considered untimely, since the matter requires further thorough study and elaboration

The aim of this research was to determine to blue melilot yield and quality properties sown at different rates of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 1 and 40 on November 4, 2015, on November 7, 2016 and on October 30, 2017. Investigated properties showed significantly differences. The lowest number of branches per plant (1.47), main stem diameter (3.20 mm) and leaflet width (1.44 cm) values were measured from blue melilot genotype 'BG-4' with 40 kg ha-1 seeding rate. The maximum main stem diameter (4.96-5.04 mm) and leaflet length (4.50-4.88 cm) were found from 5 to 15 kg ha-1 seeding rates. Highest plant height (84.48 cm), number of branches per plant (4.27), leaf length (7.12 cm), main stem diameter (4.41 mm), leaf/stem ratio (0.82), leaflet length (4.38 cm) and width (2.22 cm) were observed for BG-3 blue melilot genotype compared to other genotypes. Increasing seed rates resulted with an increase in crude protein, fresh fodder and dry matter yields. However, increasing seed rates caused decrease in crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and acid detergent lignin contents. The K, Ca, P and Mg contents of blue melilot genotypes ranging from 2.40-2.55 %, 1.48-1.56 %, 0.60-0.68 % and 0.40-0.45 %, respectively.

Published: November 2020

Drought is one of the most critical environmental stressors affecting agricultural productivity around the world and it considerably results in yield. Symbiosis interaction between plants and soil micro-organisms are considered to enhance plant tolerance in a/biotic conditions. In this study, the impact of Glomus mosseae, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 169 and both of them under imposed water stress (flowering and pod filling stages) of mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) was evaluated in two farm experiments during 2016 and 2017. Eco-physiological parameters have been recorded which showed that drought stress reduced the number of leaves, root colonization and seeds yield of mung bean. Mixed inoculation of G.mosseae and P.fluorescens 169 was more effective in alleviation the harm effects of drought stress. Enzymes assay suggested that co-inoculation of G.mosseae and P.fluorescens 169 was more effective to increase antioxidative defense system like catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities. H2O2 contents were increased by water stress both in cutting irrigation at flowering and pod filling stages. In conclusion, plants inoculated with combination of G.mosseae and P.fluorescens 169 had less oxidative damage over control plants.

Pedagogical tolerance development in the process of teaching a foreign language
Authors: Gridneva Natalia A. , Doskovskaya Maria S.
Published: November 2020

The paper deals with the problem of pedagogical tolerance formation by means of teaching foreign languages. Great importance and urgency of research are caused firstly by public need for tolerance which is reasonably regarded as a key to building harmonic and results oriented relationships between people (also in professional areas) and secondly by modern humanistic conception of education based on idea of careful and respectful attitude towards child’s identity in all of its socially acceptable manifestations. Pedagogical tolerance is regarded in the article as a professionally important quality, as an integral part of teacher’s ethical culture and a success factor for teaching activities. The opportunities for pedagogical tolerance development when teaching foreign languages are linked in the article with three aspects which substantially determine specifics of this discipline and its humanitarian potential. These are the conception of cultures dialog, the wide diversity of communicative practice and the possibility of axiological orientation of teaching content. Using some specially for future teachers designed tasks we show possible ways for effective development of tolerance, openness to the multicultural world, empathy, altruism, capacity for a dialogue and other personal qualities needed for keeping up a good relationship with pupils and maintaining a psychologically comfortable climate highly conducive for teaching and upbringing (also in a multi-ethic audience).

Authors: Kuznetsova Elena V. , Zhbanova Natalia Yu.
Published: November 2020

The global challenges that humanity is facing today pose the task of higher education to prepare a specialist with fundamental training and the ability to learn throughout life. Fundamentalization of education is not possible without the formation of students' conceptual understanding of the material studied. This problem is quite relevant in the study of mathematics due to the specific nature of this science. The researchers' lack of a unified point of view in determining the essence of the conceptual understanding of mathematics does not allow practitioners to develop tools for assessing the level of conceptual understanding among university students. The purpose the article is to identify and formulate the essential characteristics and pedagogical conditions for the formation of a conceptual understanding of mathematics, as well as to explore the possibilities and effectiveness of the integration of computer modeling as an instrument of forming a conceptual understanding in the process of teaching probability theory to students of technical universities. The study showed that a computer workshop, developed based on identified pedagogical conditions and taking into account the didactic capabilities of ICT in the educational process, is an effective means of developing conceptual understanding when studying a course in probability theory. Students whose curriculum included a workshop with elements of computer modeling have a more excellent knowledge of methodologically significant knowledge and the ability to relate previously learned material to new problems.

Published: November 2020

The problem of managing the educational process in the implementation of language education in a non-linguistic University is studied on the example of MGIMO Odintsovo branch (Moscow region). We consider the mechanisms, algorithms, and systems of pedagogical management, including LMS (learning Management System), which can be used in the conditions of standard, mixed, and distance learning, including during the forced full transition to remote mode in the spring of 2020 and the introduction of mixed learning in the 1st semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. The article presents an algorithm for pedagogical management of the educational process in the field of implementation of language education in a non-linguistic University, which includes the following stages: planning, design, motivation, implementation, monitoring and reflection. The algorithm has been successfully implemented in our University, including in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conditions of pedagogical management of process of implementation of language education (humanistic orientation, taking into account specifics of the spiritual and moral development and the needs of students and individual (gender and age, level of proficiency, etc.). local language system characterized by the following parameters: the dominance of a clear and verified the goals of language education; the combination of complex ideas, the whole process of language education and work programs, teaching materials, etc.; permanently managed correction and development of the language teaching process taking into account changing external and internal conditions, requests and goals; monitoring of the achieved learning results. The criteria for evaluating the quality of management effectiveness are highlighted: the order and transparency of the process of implementing language education; the presence of the "backbone" of the teaching staff of the Department, the cohesion of the University itself "vertically" , etc. The introduction of the proposed algorithm of pedagogical management of the educational process in the field of language education implementation into the educational process of MGIMO showed its effectiveness, which was reflected not only on the results of the session and state exams, but also on the level of language training of graduates who reached the desired B2-C1/C2, having initially A2/B1. Moreover, the implementation of the algorithm developed by US at MGIMO allowed not only to systematize and simplify the management process.

TERMS OF TRADE AND INDUSTRIALIZATION: REALITIES IN UKRAINE
Authors: Bazhenova Olena , Chornodid Ihor
Published: November 2020

he paper explores the impact of terms of trade on the industrialization and economic growth in Ukraine due to significant vulnerability of national economy to foreign economic shocks, its openness and mainly commodity structure of exports. In this research we have chosen manufacturing value added as percent in GDP to identify periods of industrialization, as its growth corresponds to periods of accelerated industrial development and vice versa. Also we considered GDP per capita as indicator of national economy’s performance. The changes in terms of trade were investigated based on the analysis of terms of trade adjustments, which are determined by the ability to import goods and services minus exports at constant prices. As an empirical research tool vector autoregressive models have been chosen to explore the relationship between endogenous and exogenous variables in dynamics. Thus, the endogenous variables in the model are the annual growth rate of GDP per capita, manufacturing value added and terms of trade adjustments in 1991-2018. Therefore, the first-order vector autoregression model was constructed to examine this relationship. According to the results of research, acceleration of terms of trade adjustments growth rate (deterioration of terms of trade) in Ukraine leads to fluctuations in the manufacturing value added growth with an increase of almost 3% in the second period and further declining. It indicates an increase in industrial production in response to the deterioration of terms of trade in the short run and possible intensification of innovative economic growth triggers. Fluctuations in manufacturing value added account for from almost 7% to 14% in fluctuations of GDP per capita growth. In turn, fluctuations in terms of trade adjustments account for only from 3% to almost 5%. At the same time, fluctuations in manufacturing value added from 8% to 13% are explained by fluctuations in terms of trade adjustments.

The main factors of social component of multifunctional purpose are revealed, the main of which are the limited spheres of employment of rural population, the village-forming mission of agricultural enterprises, due to their attachment to real estate, which is permanently located within a certain radius around these settlements and the mission of a single source of food for society and the arrangement of agricultural areas, preserving the fertility of land for the needs of future generations.

The dependence of the employment of the rural population on the conditions of its access to agricultural lands and social (collective) forms of organization of small farms for joint use of lands and joint production activities is substantiated, the peculiarities of these organizational and legal forms common in Western European practice are analyzed. The essence of the state policy aimed at the rational distribution of agricultural land in the interests of the peasantry and society as a whole, and to encourage owners (tenants) of small plots of land to unite for joint activities as a factor, which influence on effective employment of the united entities management.

The role of diversification of agricultural production in increasing farm incomes and creating additional jobs is substantiated. An analysis of the most common in Western European practice areas of diversification related to the development of agritourism and processing of agricultural products, which are a continuation of agricultural activities. The role of cooperative forms of agricultural processing organizations in increasing the profits of its producers and creating additional jobs for the rural population is shown.

The importance of including in the social function of agriculture, the maintenance of food balance of society, which is the basis for food security and food independence of the country and the state's influence on the production of low-cost, but physiologically necessary food products is studied.

Proposals were made to improve agricultural policy and the institutional and legal environment to support the implementation of agriculture's social mission, taking into account the experience gained in Western Europe and other countries.

On the results of research on the excitability of the posterior frontal lobe
Authors: Bekhterev V.
Published: November 2020

According to Ferrier, the area of ​​the anterior frontal lobe (P. praefrontalis), located in front of the line, mentally drawn perpendicular to the front end of s. praecentralis, does not give any motor phenomena in case of irritation, which is confirmed by Horsley and Beefor, as well as other authors. Between this area and the anterior central furrow together with the mental continuation of it to s. longitudinalis is the area, irritation of which causes, according to Ferrier, open eyes, dilated pupils and movement of the eyes and head in the opposite direction. Horsley and Beefor, with the help of weak minimal irritations, divided this area into three separate centers, from which the upper, located closer to the inner cleft of the brain, moves the head in the opposite direction, the middle moves the head and eyes to the opposite side and the lower one turns only the eyes in the opposite direction. It should be borne in mind that these centers altogether occupy an area much larger than one Ferrier center.

Background: Recent studies showed an increased prevalence of prehypertension and alarming trend of prehypertension among the youth. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of prehypertension and its determinants among male youth in Ghana.Methods: The study retrieved data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS). For this study, the data related to men was used and those aged 15-24 years were extracted for the analysis. The sample which comprised of 1,363 respondents was analysed using descriptive statistics, simple and multiple logistic regressions. Multicollinearity test was also carried out using the variance inflation factor and tolerance to determine independents variables that were correlated. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were reported accordingly.Results: The overall prevalence of prehypertension was 5%. Among those who were pre-hypertensive, 4.1% were secondary school graduates and 2.6% were not sexually active in the last four weeks prior to the study. Similarly, 4.3% of those who were pre-hypertensive had their blood pressure taken in the morning. Occupation and region of residence played significant roles in prehypertension prevalence. Whilst arm circumference, sexual behaviours and smoking habit were significant predictors of prehypertension.Conclusions: Educational level, occupation, sexual behaviours such as having too many sexual partners, and smoking were significant predictors of prehypertension. This study suggests that education on the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring among the youth should be intensified. Also, education hinging on some of the negative effects of cultural shifts and transformations like sexual partners’ acquisition should be intensified.

Background: Hypertension is called the silent killer because it does not provide specific symptoms, it can increase the incidence of strokes, heart attacks, chronic kidney disease if not controlled and controlled properly. Management of hypertension is generally with pharmacological therapy that has not shown improvement. Non-pharmacological treatment using rosella flower tea which functions to open blood vessels wider, reduce blood viscosity and increase urine production so as to reduce blood volume. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of rosella tea on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients.  Methods: This study uses a quasi-experiment design with the two-group pre-test and post-test design approach. This research was conducted on patients with hypertension at the Padang city health center with an intervention group of 16 respondents and a control of 16 respondents. Data analysis in this study used univariate and bivariate using independent t-test statistics.  Results: The results of the study showed the average blood pressure in the systolic pretest intervention group 147.81 for 94.69 diastole and posttest systole 129.06 posttest diastole 78.75 while the control group for systole pretest 154.6 for diastole 96.25 and posttest without posttest treatment systole 129.06 postest diastole 78.75. Obtained a p value 0,000 statistical test for systole and a p value 0,000 diastole.  Conclusions: There is an effect of rosella flower tea on reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension at the Padang city health center.

Background: The most essential part of manufacturing the products is grinding. Health and safety of workers are the most important issues in this unit now a days. High productivity as well as maximum turnover is the highest interest of these units. Target oriented work puts some pressure on the workers that also increase their muscular and body stresses.  Methods: The research work was done in different small-scale grinding units in West Bengal. The snap shot of 20 workers in different grinding units was obtained and evaluated with the help of rapid upper limb assessment. NIOSH’s discomfort survey method was used for mapping the different areas of pain, dissatisfactions during the operation. Heart rate and postural stresses were also noticed.  Results: This research work also shows that the poor working conditions enhance the body stresses and the discomfort level of grinders. The highest heart rate also indicates the poor health condition of grinders. Poor environmental conditions, specially noise and heat were common in grinding units.  Conclusions: It can be concluded that MSDs were present in the activities carried out in grinding units where the major number of workers were involved in bad body postures. This research work also shows that the poor working conditions enhance the body stresses and the discomfort level of grinders.

Background: Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular complications. This can be described as the ‘sleeping snake’ which bites when it wakes up. We aimed to determine the knowledge (K), attitude (A) and practice (P) [KAP] regarding hypertension among hypertensive patients taking antihypertensive medication in Medical College, Kolkata.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the hypertensive patients from July 2017 to September 2017 using random sampling technique. Suitably designed and validated questionnaire of knowledge, attitude and practice on hypertension consisting of 20 questions were used to determine the KAP scores. The difference in the median KAP scores between sex, level of education and duration of hypertension were assessed using Mann-Whitney U test.Results: A total of 318 patients met the inclusion criteria and majority of them were male (53.15%), had received secondary level of education (43.08%) and had hypertension for <5 years (56.91%). The blood pressure ranged from 110-240/70-120 mmHg. The median K, A and P scores were 4 (5), 5 (0) and 3 (1) respectively. Practice was statistically associated with sex (p<0.007). Significant differences were found between patients with below and above secondary educational level regarding knowledge (p=0.0001), attitude (p=0.02) and practice (p=0.001). Patients with duration of hypertension more than five years had better knowledge compared to those with duration less than five years (p=0.0001).Conclusions: Our study showed that there are scopes for improving knowledge, attitude and practice among hypertensive patients for better management of hypertension.

Background: Diabetes is a challenging disease that is considered to be hard to live with as it encompasses a lot of restrictive instructions. Self-care diabetes has been defined as an evolutionary process of development of knowledge or awareness by learning to survive with the complex nature of diabetes. Diabetic distress refer to an emotional state where people experience feelings such as stress, guilt or denial that arise from the living with diabetes and the burden of self-management. The emotional distress facing people with diabetes due to such life style restriction. The objectives were to evaluate self-care activities related to diabetes among type II diabetic patients using diabetes self-management questionnaire and to assess and compare the diabetes distress score using diabetes distress scale among urban and rural type II diabetic patient.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 140 urban and 70 rural study participants in field practice area of SNMC, Bagalkot. Diabetic self-care activities and diabetic distress were analyzed.Results: Our study showed most of the study participants had poor self-care activities. Our study showed 60% of rural participants screen positive for moderate diabetic distress where as 52.1% of urban participants showed positive for high diabetic distress.Conclusions: To combat the stress associated with diabetes, it is important to educate the patient to adapt with change in their life style following the diagnosis of diabetes.

Background: Secondary attack rate is the proportion of primary contacts that develop infection or symptom within one incubation period after contact with an index case. The secondary attack rate will help in studying and understanding the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. As coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a novel disease which has resulted in a pandemic, understanding the transmission dynamics is very important for strengthening preventive measures.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the secondary attack rate among primary contacts of COVID-19 cases admitted in a tertiary care centre in Northern Kerala. Secondary attack rate was calculated as the percentage of primary contacts that tested positive for COVID-19 with RT-PCR test within 14 days of exposure.Results: Secondary attack rate was found to be 5.88%, secondary clinical attack rate 2.35% and secondary infection rate 3.53%. Among those contacts that developed disease, 80% were household contacts.Conclusions: Secondary attack rate was 5.88% and household contacts were the majority to get the disease.

Background: Elderly people often experience cognitive decline with aging. Existing longitudinal studies report that older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have a 10-15% annual risk of converting to probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objectives were to determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment among the elderly in an urban area of Chennai and to assess the factors associated with cognitive impairment among the elderly.Methods: This Community based Cross sectional study was conducted between July and October 2019 among 77 individuals aged 60 years and above from an urban area in Chennai, Pudupet. After the institutional ethics committee approval, subjects were interviewed with a pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire followed by administration of standardized mini mental state examination (SMMSE) tool and scoring. Data was analysed using relevant descriptive and inferential statistics with trial version of SPSS.v.25. and OpenEpi software.Results: The overall prevalence (95% CI) of cognitive impairment was 35.06 % (25.35%, 46.20%). Its prevalence among males and females were 26.08 % (12.55%, 46.47%) and 38.88 (27.04%, 52.21%) respectively. The mean age (95% CI) of study subjects with cognitive impairment was 66.37 years (64.58, 68.16). Those subjects who led a solitary life, had less than 10 years of schooling, used kerosene as cooking fuel and consumed bore well water had significant association with cognitive impairment.Conclusions: Usage of cooking fuel like LPG and consumption of filtered and purified water could minimize cognitive impairment. Early detection of cognitive impairment would improve the health care and quality of life of the elderly.
