Authors: Lizar Nickolaus Reinaldy
Published: May 2021

The project is located in the Kapuk area, Cengkareng District, West Jakarta. This project was motivated by population density problems which created a land and energy crisis in this area. So, with that, this smart building project was created with the aim of forming a compact residential unit that can accommodate many residents and creating a smart building system that can make energy independently for residential needs. In designing this project a contextual method was used to position the building so that it was in harmony with the existing environmental conditions. Where the original site and environmental conditions will form the basis of the concept in building the project. The smart building design strategy uses the concept of compact units to maximize efficient land use. And in answering the energy crisis problem, a building with a smart building concept is needed, which is needed to ease the use of natural resources with self-recycled energy in the project. So that the project does not depend on energy from outside, but can create its own energy through recycling systems, such as water filtration systems, solar power systems, and biogas systems. Keywords : Compact Residential Unit; Smart Building; Smart Energy System AbstrakProyek berada di kawasan Kapuk, Kecamatan Cengkareng, Jakarta Barat. Proyek ini dilatarbelakangi oleh permasalahan kepadatan penduduk yang menciptakan krisis lahan dan energi di kawasan tersebut. Proyek bangunan cerdas ini bertujuan untuk membentuk sebuah hunian unit padat yang dapat menampung banyak penghuni dan menciptakan sistem bangunan cerdas yang dapat membuat energi mandiri untuk kebutuhan berhuni. Dalam merancang proyek ini metode kontekstual digunakan untuk memposisikan bangunan agar selaras dengan kondisi lingkungan yang sudah lebih dulu ada. Dimana kondisi asal tapak dan lingkungan akan menjadi dasar konsep dalam membangun proyek. Strategi desain bangunan cerdas menggunakan konsep unit padat untuk memaksimalkan penggunaan lahan hunian secara efisien. Dalam menjawab masalah krisis energi digunakan konsep bangunan cerdas untuk meringankan penggunaan sumber daya alam dengan energi daur ulang mandiri di dalam proyek. Sehingga bangunan tidak bergantung terhadap energi dari luar, melainkan dapat menciptakan energinya sendiri melalui sistem-sistem daur ulang, seperti sistem filtrasi air, sistem tenaga surya, dan sistem biogas.

Published: May 2021

Alternative forms of housing continue to develop along with the emergence of various problems from the massive vertical housing development in cities today, ranging from physical problems to the area to social problems among residents of vertical housing themselves. The domination of private space and the lack of public space has created a passive residential environment with minimal interaction. This has resulted in a lack of social control among residents who have made vertical housing a place that is prone to crime, such as several apartments in Jakarta which are known as locations for hidden prostitution, and even suicides. The city of Jakarta is one of the cities that has experienced massive vertical housing development. There needs to be a solution to solve settlement problems in the city of Jakarta through the scientific field of architecture with the concept of digital housing for communities. The purpose of this study is to implement the concept of digital shelter for communities supported by supporting theories oriented to human interaction in an architectural design object system in the form of vertical housing supported by digital equipment or technology. Keywords: Digital; Interactive; Living AbstrakAlternatif bentuk hunian terus berkembang seiring dengan timbulnya beragam permasalahan dari pembangunan hunian vertikal yang masif di perkotaan saat ini, mulai dari permasalahan fisik bangunan terhadap kawasan hingga permasalahan sosial di antara penghuni hunian vertikal sendiri. Dominasi ruang privat dan minimnya ruang publik telah menciptakan lingkungan hunian yang pasif dan minim interaksi. Hal ini menimbulkan kurangnya kontrol sosial di antara penghuni yang telah menjadikan hunian vertikal sebagai tempat yang rawan akan tindak kriminalitas, seperti beberapa apartemen di Kota Jakarta yang dikenal sebagai lokasi prostitusi terselubung, bahkan kasus bunuh diri. Kota Jakarta merupakan salah satu kota yang mengalami perkembangan hunian vertikal yang cukup massif. Perlu adanya solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan permukiman di Kota Jakarta melalui bidang keilmuan arsitektur dengan konsep hunian digital untuk komunitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengimplementasikan konsep Hunian digital untuk Komunitas yang didukung oleh teori-teori pendukung yang berorientasi pada interaksi manusia di dalam sistem objek perancangan arsitektur berupa hunian vertikal yang di dukung dengan peralatan atau teknologi digital.
Enhancing Security in Affordable Housing: The Case of Prince Fawaz Project
Authors: Attia Maged
Published: May 2021

The present study argues that the urban form of affordable housing projects affects safety and security. The study examines the level of safety and security in the Prince Fawaz project proposing recommendations that enhance it. Theories and approaches concerned with the environmental crime are initially reviewed. Then, urban and architectural features as well as crime rates and patterns are documented. Also, trace and behaviour observations are carried out. The observations monitored urban features and behaviours associated with crime or fear of crime. Residents’ perception for security and fear of crime is extracted through a questionnaire. A Space Syntax is processed and linked with the questionnaire and observation outputs. Observations demonstrate a semblance of fear of crime which is supported by records of car and home theft. Although the questionnaire reflects a suitable level of security, it points to peripheral spaces and areas around mosques and shops as the less secure. However, enhancing security in the Prince Fawaz project requires urban interventions including controlling access to peripheral spaces, reviving areas detected to be unsafe, repositioning elements causing visual obstacles and enhancing appearance by vegetation and sustainable maintenance. Besides, reformulating the movement network so that an appropriate integration between residents and strangers is achieved. On the conceptual level, the study proves that none of the theories of environmental crime can act as a comprehensive approach; but each can partly work.

In this paper, the network readiness of the enterprises in Ukraine has been analyzed. National statistics data and international indices were used to measure and characterize fundamental changes in Ukraine at the economic and business levels. These changes are influenced by modern information technologies and new global information society tendencies. Indicators used to measure the network readiness of the enterprises were examined. Obtained results show positive dynamic improvement and simplification of enterprise activities under network economy growth in Ukraine. The detailed examination of individual indicators confirmed infrastructure and availability of digital content and prevalence of the business and innovation environment over the network economy's actual enterprise performance in 2018.An integral indicator was used to measure the level of actual use of information and communication technologies, the implementation of innovations, automated data exchange by national enterprises, and network readiness. The integral indicator of the enterprises' network readiness is a comprehensive summary of 46 components were grouped by authors into the following blocks: infrastructure and availability of digital content; business and innovation environment; business exploitation.The analysis of the selected block of indicators for 2010-2018 showed positive network readiness dynamics. The gap between the enterprises' network readiness at the regional and national levels was measured by calculating the distance between the network vector of a particular region and the average values in Ukraine. In 2018, the length of the network vector Aj was 57.27. Of the 622 enterprises surveyed, almost 94% used computers. Among the studied enterprises, a large proportion used the Internet to carry out banking operations and automated data exchange, receive tax forms, send or forward completed forms.A negative trend towards an increase in the gap between information and communication technologies at the regional and national levels has been revealed. The studied indices of the enterprises' network readiness in Ukraine enabled us to measure the level of digital infrastructure, business climate, business opportunities provided to some extent by information and communication technologies and the Internet, facilitating business operations and their quantity.

Objetivo: Revisar e demonstrar métodos de prevenção de complicações do Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional, por meio de intervenções e tratamentos para o controle glicêmico. Revisão bibliográfica: O alto índice glicêmico durante o período gestacional poderá culminar em Diabetes Mellitus do tipo 2, o qual é originado por variados fatores, tais como mudanças hormonais, conjuntamente aos hábitos de vida da gestante. Tal patologia poderá gerar complicações para o feto se não diagnosticada e tratada precocemente. Destaca-se que o feto pode nascer com variadas complicações, sendo a mais frequente a macrossomia fetal, promovida pelo estímulo de uma maior produção e secreção de insulina, em decorrência do aporte elevado de glicose ao feto. Ademais, evidencia-se que a mãe poderá apresentar lesões durante o parto em consequência da macrossomia, além de um alto risco de desenvolvimento de Diabetes do tipo 2, doenças cardiovasculares, dentre outras. Sendo assim, nota-se a necessidade de um rastreamento das pacientes com diabetes gestacional, além de uma mudança no estilo de vida (MEV) da grávida. Considerações finais: Considera-se que o pré-natal é de suma importância para o rastreamento, diagnóstico e tratamento de pacientes com diabetes gestacional ou pré-disposição a patologia, evitando possíveis complicações.

Objetivo: Identificar diante da atuação da enfermagem, os desafios na prevenção da Hipertensão Arterial na Atenção Primária de Saúde Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa realizado com os enfermeiros das unidades básicas de saúde selecionadas. Foi utilizado um questionário com perguntas referentes a temática. Resultados: Identificou-se os principais desafios da enfermagem diante da prevenção da hipertensão que são: conscientizar a população a manter hábitos de vida saudável; dificuldade em atingir toda a população com educação em saúde, assim como, dificuldade em trazer a população à UBS. Dentre os fatores que contribuem para a dificuldade de prevenir a hipertensão encontrou-se: obesidade, alimentação inadequada, sedentarismo, tabagismo, alcoolismo, fatores genéticos, fatores socioeconômicos. Conclusão: Nota-se que a enfermagem possui conhecimentos suficientes para orientar os pacientes a realizarem a prevenção da hipertensão. Porém, a população apresenta bastante resistência em seguir as orientações de enfermagem, pois mesmo possuindo consciência sobre os hábitos inadequados, sentem-se desmotivados às mudanças, em virtude da cronicidade da doença.

Published: May 2021

Objetivo: Buscar na literatura científica, evidências pertinentes aos princípios do tratamento conservador da cárie, com ênfase nas faces oclusais e proximais e demonstrar sua eficiência na prática clínica. Revisão bibliográfica: Mesmo com muitos obstáculos no diagnóstico de cáries incipientes dos dentes, e com todo aparato tecnológico disponível, a prática de uso de mecanismos não operatórios, com o início da remoção mecânica tão bem como selantes em fissuras e estruturas retentoras de biofilme, e aplicação tópica de flúor se comprovam na eficácia terapêutica no tratamento de lesões cariosas ativas em esmalte. A dificuldade em desconstruir décadas de condutas convencionais para tratamento de cáries incipientes em faces oclusais e proximais, confronta o que se é doutrinado nas universidades, levando o profissional a se sentir inseguro ao aplicar técnicas conservadoras, não se limitando a área da lesão e a consequentemente a perda de tecido sadio. Considerações finais: Os estudos citados nesse trabalho sustentam que é possível diminuir a chance de desenvolvimento de cárie em dentes recém-erupcionados ou contê-la. Nas lesões proximais a prioridade é impedir a ocorrência e progressão da lesão.

Musical Essay in the Samuel Barber’s Output: Genesis and Specificity of the Genre
Authors: Кривцова А.С.
Published: May 2021

Первая половина ХХ века в истории эссе примечательна тем, что этот изначально литературный жанр, преодолевая рамки слова, переносится в новый, невербальный формат: в кинематограф, фотографию, изобразительное, а также музыкальное искусство. Первенство в создании музыкального эссе принадлежит американскому композитору постромантического направления Сэмюэлу Барберу (1910–1981). Его творческое наследие включает, по меньшей мере, три очевидных случая использования новой жанровой модели: это Эссе для оркестра № 1–3 (1937, 1942, 1978 соответственно). В статье предпринимается попытка установить причины, побудившие композитора обратиться к совершенно новой для композиции жанровой сфере, выявить механизм ее воплощения в формате непрограммного инструментального сочинения, а также определить место эссеистских опусов в жанровой иерархии барберовского творчества.

In the essay’s history, the first half of the 20th century is notable by the fact that such originally literary genre breaks the frameworks of the word and is transferred to a new, non-verbal format: in cinema, in photography, in fine art, as well as in musical art. The lead in the creation of the musical essay belongs to the American post-romantic composer Samuel Barber (1910–1981). His heritage includes at least three obvious cases of using the new genre model: Essays for orchestra No. 1–3 (1937, 1942, and 1978 respectively). In this article, an attempt is made to find out the reasons that encouraged the composer to turn to a completely new genre of the musical composition; to identify the mechanism for its implementation in the format of a non-programmatic instrumental composition, and to determine the position of essayist opuses in the genre hierarchy of Barber’s output.
The Truth is Out There: “Songs of Bukovina” by Leonid Desyatnikov as a Neoromantic Cycle
Authors: Наливаева Е.Н.
Published: May 2021

«Буковинские песни» Леонида Десятникова, написанные в 2017 году и вдохновленные фольклорными напевами,—продолжение традиции циклов прелюдий для фортепиано, заложенной в эпоху романтизма и активно развитой в дальнейшем. В статье делается попытка осмыслить сочинение как образец нео романтизма, констатировать неразрывную связь с прошлым, параллельно затраги вая особенности работы композитора с материалом. Большое внимание уделяется романтической идее синтеза: «Буковинским песням» свойственно сочетание несо четаемого, органичное соединение непохожего, разнопланового. Именно поэтому, анализируя цикл, автор статьи оперирует словами с приставкой «поли-»: поли форма, политоникальность, полиопорность, полиладовость, полигармония, поли метрия, полиритмия, политональность (ключевое «поли-» для самого Десятнико ва)—обобщающим для всех этих терминов становится понятие полисистемы. В буклете к диску «Буковинских песен» поэт Мария Степанова предпринимает «Двенадцать попыток заговорить» о фортепианных прелюдиях Десятникова. Дан ная статья, в сущности, представляет собою тринадцатую, музыкантскую и музы коведческую, попытку начать разговор о цикле. Подробный потактовый анализ «Буковинских песен» не входит в задачи этой работы; перед автором, скорее, стоит цель показать ведущий принцип организации материала в рассматриваемом сочи нении. Наиболее детально анализируются Прелюдии I, II, XIII, XV, XIX.

Leonid Desyatnikov’s “Songs of Bukovina” written in 2017 inspired by folk chants is a continuation of piano prelude tradition founded in the age of romanticism and actively developed later. This article is an attempt to comprehend Desyatnikov’s work as an example of neoromanticism, to find the inextricable connection to the past all while looking at distingushing features of the composer's way of working over the material. Special attention here is paid to the romantic idea of synthesis. “Songs of Bukovina” is a combination of uncombinable, an organic conjunction of dissimilar, different. That's why in this article the author often uses words that begin with the prefix “poly-”, such as polyform, polytonicality, polymodality, polyharmony, polyrhythm, polytonality (the most important word to Desyatnikov himself) etc., which are hyponyms to the term of polysystem. In the Booklet to “Songs of Bukovina” CD, poet Maria Stepanova makes “Twelve attempts to start speaking” of Desyatnikov’s piano preludes. This article is, in fact, yet another, 13th attempt made by a musician to speak of this cycle. The goal of this work is not to provide a bar by bar analysis of the “Songs of Bukovina” but to show the main principle according to which the material is organized. The author will take the closest look at Preludes I, II, XIII, XV, XIX.

Published: May 2021

Covid-19 is a global pandemic disease which has crippled health care system and economics worldwide. According to WHO, an acute respiratory infection, fever and cough are the most valid diagnostic clinical features. Some common orofacial manifestations of this viral infection may contribute to early diagnosis of covid-19 infection. Oral manifestations include olfactory and gustatory disturbances, dry mouth, facial pain, vesicobullous lesions such as erosion, pustule, macule, papule, plaque, pigmentation and depapilliated tongue with whitish areas, hemorrhagic crust, necrosis, swelling and  erythema. The most common sites of involvement in descending order are tongue (38%), labial mucosa (26%), and palate (22%).  Oral lesions are symptomatic in 68% of the cases who test positive for SARS Co-V. Lack of oral hygiene, opportunistic infections, stress, immunosuppression, vasculitis, and hyper-inflammatory response secondary to COVID-19 are the most important predisposing factors for onset of oral lesions in COVID-19 patients.

INTRODUCTION: Corona virus disease was first reported in Wuhan city of China in 2019. The disease is caused by a highly infectious virus which can be transmitted from human to human through physical contact, droplets, or touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. AIM: The study aims to get an assessment of knowledge, attitude and practices towards COVID-19 disease among the dental practitioners in Bhutan.MATERIAL AND METHODS: An online cross- sectional study was conducted among dental practitioners working in different hospitals across the country. All dental professionals who provided their email address were included in the study. Data were collecting using a structured questionnaire shared though email. A total of 157 dental professionals were invited through e-mail to participate in the study. RESULTS: A total of 125 dental professionals participated in the study (response rate 79.6%). Over half of the participants (51.2%) were between the age group 20-30 years. Despite almost everyone (98.4%) knowing the causative agent and management of COVID-19 positive patients, only around a half of the participants (48%) had a good level of knowledge on COVID-19.CONCLUSION: The study found that less than half of the participants have a good level of knowledge on COVID-19 while a majority of them feel that there is discrimination against COVID-19 positive patients and health professionals working for COVID-19 patients. The study highlights the need to conduct sensitization, trainings or CME on COVID-19 periodically to keep all health professionals updated with latest advancements to help maintain safety in clinical practice.

Published: May 2021

Vaccines are one of the prime preventive measures against infectious diseases. Administration of vaccination may lead to significant autoimmune manifestations. There is a vast literature on autoimmune issues associated with vaccines including animal and in-vitro studies, case reports and case series. Contrary to this, epidemiological research work does not report this association. This review on the potential association between vaccines and the development of autoimmune diseases is based on currently available scientific literature. We conclude that vaccines have a very positive impact on human health. Further research is required to clarify the association between vaccines and autoimmune conditions and also the detailed mechanisms behind this.

Trong các hiệp định thương mại thế hệ mới mà Việt Nam tham gia có liên quan đến quyền sở hữu trí tuệ, CPTPP được xem là một trong những hiệp định có nhiều cam kết với những yêu cầu cao về bảo hộ và thực thi quyền sở hữu trí tuệ, đặc biệt liên quan đến các đối tương thuộc quyền sở hữu công nghiệp. Điều này  đặt ra những thử thách pháp lý rất lớn đối với một số quốc gia chưa có một hệ thống pháp lý bảo hộ và thực thi quyền sở hữu trí tuệ hoàn thiện, trong đó có Việt Nam. Vì vậy, với mong muốn góp phần vào hoàn thiện hệ thống pháp luật về bảo hộ và thực thi quyền sở hữu công nghiệp, trong phạm vi bài viết, tác giả xin đưa ra nghiên cứu về các yêu cầu trong Hiệp định CPTPP về thực thi quyền sở hữu công nghiệp bằng biện pháp hình sự, trên cơ sở đó, sẽ phân tích, đánh giá sự tương thích trong quy định của bộ luật hình sự  Việt Nam hiện hành với các quy định trong hiệp định này. Từ đó, gợi mở một số giải pháp hoàn thiện pháp luật hình sự Việt Nam về tội xâm phạm quyền sở hữu công nghiệp, nhằm đảm bảo tính tương thích, phù hợp với các yêu cầu trong Hiệp định CPTPP.

Lipid (oil and fat) is one of the basic and important components used in the production of
cookies. It plays several roles in their composition and a judicious choice of this
ingredient makes it possible to have cheap, delicious and very nutritious cookies. This
study aimed to evaluate the effect of refined cottonseeds oil (RCO), refined palm oil
(RPO) and red (or crude) palm oil (CPO) on sorghum (Sorghum bicolour var. Gampela)
cookies. Oils were incorporated at levels of 16%, 20% and 24%. Cookies quality were
evaluated based on quantitative sensory profile, sensory acceptability, preference
classification and paired-comparison test. The results of sensory profile tests showed that
the sensory descriptors ranged from very low to medium intensity (1.33 to 3.83 on a scale
of 5). Both acceptability and classification tests showed that cookies produced with 20%
of refined oil (RCO and RPO) and those with 16% of CPO were the most preferred and
RCO and RPO with 20% of the oil were appreciated as control cookies produced with
20% of margarine. The colour, texture and fat impression had most influenced the
consumers’ preferences. RCO, RPO and CPO exhibit the potential to be used as
substitutes to margarine to produce sorghum cookies.
Could food or food contact surfaces be the favourable hideouts for Listeria monocytogenes in Perak, Malaysia?
Authors: Chen S.N. , Yap M.L. , Kuan C.H. , Radu Son , Saw S.H.
Published: May 2021

Listeria monocytogenes is a causative agent of foodborne listeriosis which causes a high
rate of hospitalisation (>90%) and death (20-30%) worldwide. Due to its ubiquitous nature
and high resistance to a stressful environment, L. monocytogenes is able to multiply to a
threatening level during food processing, distribution and storage, which then causes an
immense case of foodborne disease outbreak. Hence, the control of L. monocytogenes is
required at all stages in the food chain to prevent its occurrence in the final product. The
present study aimed to determine the prevalence of L. monocytogenes in food as well as
food contact surfaces from food processing plants and food service premises located in
Perak, Malaysia. A total number of 170 food samples, including raw, minimally
processed, processed and ready-to-eat food, as well as 152 samples from surfaces,
including food-contact and non-food-contact, were collected and isolated on culture, and
confirmation was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 26 food samples
(15.29%) were positive for L. monocytogenes, with the highest prevalence found in
processed and minimally processed food at 33.33% and 31.25%, respectively; following
by raw and ready-to-eat food at 26.32% and 4.26% respectively. On the other hand, a
higher prevalence of L. monocytogenes was detected from food-contact surfaces at
11.83% compared to non-food contact surfaces at 6.78%. These findings demonstrated the
potential risk of contamination by L. monocytogenes in food and it might be due to the
exposure of the bacteria on food processing surfaces. Thus, regular surveillance and strict
assessment should be conducted by the local authorities to ensure the safety of the food
consumption for residents in Perak.

Women’s Political Empowerment: A Historical Overview in Pakistan
Authors: Khithran Sara Gul
Published: May 2021

In the contemporary world, women enjoy a very prominent position in politics at all levels concerning national and international politics, but their journey towards political empowerment cannot be understood unless we understand their role and status in ancient society. The present study is a historical overview of the process of women’s political empowerment in Pakistan. It is true that in Pakistan women are completely allowed political rights but practically they have to face a number of socio-cultural and political hurdles that have presented challenges to participate in the political system. According to the nature of the study, the article is based upon secondary information following an evolutionary perspective with regard to socio-political growth, changes, and development. For the source of data collection library method has been used. The study concludes that the trends towards the political participation and political empowerment of women all through pre and post-independence of Pakistan and especially over the last ten general elections; it was very difficult for women to enjoy their equal political rights as compared to men in the mainstream politics. Initially, only a few seats were reserved for them but after introducing the quota system their ratio of membership in parliament is enhanced which is still not satisfactory. Although after 1999 the majority of women come into politics however their role in the perspective of change for the political empowerment of women was very limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper investigates the impact of debt financing on airline’s (transport) sector performance of Pakistan.

Design/Methodology/Approach: We gathered the data from secondary sources. In this study, we used a data sample of 11 years from 2008-2018 by using companies annual reports. Due to unavailability of data, only 3 transport companies have been taken for analysis. The software which we used in analysis is SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science).

Findings: The findings of the study suggests that there is opposite relationship between debt financing and financial performance of airlines. Debt is measured from three ratios, short term debt to total assets, long term debt to total assets and total debt to total assets ratio. For the measurement of performance, we used return on assets and earnings per share. We concluded on the basis of findings that the companies should focus on retained earnings which is cheaper source of finance and use less level of debt. As the more level of debt use by the companies, the performance of companies’ decrease.

Implications/Originality/Value: There is only one study is available in Pakistan which used transport sector in Pakistan in debt financing context
Project-based Learning as a Tool for Student-Teachers’ Professional Development: A Study in an Omani EFL Teacher Education Program
Authors: Al-Busaidi Saleh , Al-Seyabi Fawzia
Published: May 2021

Project-based learning (PBL) helps students gain a deep understanding of the knowledge they acquire, develops higher levels of learning, and promotes the motivation to learn. Through self-inquiry, self-planning, and investigation, students learn to be independent thinkers and autonomous learners and pursue their learning needs by seeking solutions for real-life problems. The objective of this study was to explore the extent to which PBL approach helped 146 student-teachers at the College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, develop their course design skills. The study utilized a questionnaire with multiple sections. The students were asked for their opinion about the approach, the difficulties they encountered, and suggestions for improvement. The results revealed that the students’ responses were positive. The students enjoyed the project and agreed that it helped them gain many of the principles of courses design, as well as a host of academic skills. The students also reported a few challenges faced during the project such as needs analysis and writing goals and objectives. Teacher preparation programs in other contexts can benefit from the course design and the study findings to introduce change to their courses. Researchers and practitioners can also benefit from the challenges faced in implementing PBL in higher education institutions where one would expect students to be highly independent.
Diagnostic challenges and pockets of susceptibility identified during a measles outbreak, Luxembourg, 2019

Luxembourg was among the first countries in the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region documenting interruption of endemic measles transmission, but an increased incidence was registered in spring 2019. The outbreak started with an unvaccinated student who had been to a winter sports resort in a neighbouring country, where a measles outbreak was ongoing. Subsequently, 12 secondary and two tertiary cases were confirmed among students from the same school, relatives and healthcare workers, as well as six probably unrelated cases. Only 11 cases initially fulfilled the WHO definition for suspected measles cases. Fourteen of 20 cases with information on country of birth and the majority of unvaccinated cases (10/12) were born outside of Luxembourg. Measles IgM antibody results were available for 16 of the confirmed cases, and five of the eight IgM negative cases had been vaccinated at least once. All 21 cases were PCR positive, but for three previously vaccinated cases with multiple specimen types, at least one of these samples was negative. The outbreak highlighted diagnostic challenges from clinical and laboratory perspectives in a measles elimination setting and showed that people born abroad and commuters may represent important pockets of susceptible people in Luxembourg.
