Authors: Hill-Briggs Felicia
Published: February 2019

This address was delivered by Felicia Hill-Briggs, PhD, ABPP, President, Health Care & Education of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) at the ADA’s 78th Scientific Sessions in Orlando, FL, on 23 June 2018. Diabetes has become a high-priority condition in the current era of health care transformation due to diabetes and prediabetes prevalence rates, suboptimal diabetes outcomes at the health care system and population levels, and high health care and public health costs attributed to diabetes. Population health is the path forward for the ADA to facilitate diabetes health care and public health improvement nationally. Population health management initiatives underway at the ADA include Diabetes INSIDE for health care systems and a Mental Health Provider Training Program and referral directory. Population health improvement initiatives include the prediabetes Risk Test Campaign, National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) dissemination in underserved states and populations, a DPP Express information technology platform, and a social determinants of health scientific review and recommendations. Dr. Hill-Briggs is a professor of medicine; physical medicine and rehabilitation; health, behavior, and society; and acute and chronic care at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. She is a core faculty member of the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology & Clinical Research and colead of behavioral, social, and systems science for the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. Dr. Hill-Briggs has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine of The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine and is the 2018 recipient of the Rachmiel Levine Medal for Leadership from the ADA.

Published: February 2019

El e-gobierno es considerado como una herramienta estratégica de los gobiernos municipales para impulsar su transformación, pero a pesar de los beneficios que se ofrecen en sus plataformas, existe suficiente evidencia que muestran la falta de uso de sus servicios, en este contexto las características de usabilidad son primordiales en la aceptación de los portales por parte de los usuarios ya que si estos no son percibidos como una herramienta efectiva, se dificulta su aceptación, lo que repercute directamente en la confianza de las personas, promoviendo el desuso en los usuarios potenciales de un sitio. Por lo tanto es necesario generar estrategias que impulsen en el ciudadano el uso de las plataformas de e-gobierno municipal, lo que significa una tarea compleja, ya que los resultados solo pueden verse a largo plazo.  Por lo tanto, en el presente estudio se empleó la metodología de dinámica de sistemas, de corte cualitativo, para generar un modelo que muestra la naturaleza recursiva y compleja de las variables lo que permite explicar el comportamiento de uso que representan las plataformas de e-gobierno bajo la perspectiva de variables de usabilidad. Este modelo ofrece la posibilidad de evaluar estrategias y diseñar planes de acción que favorezcan el uso de las plataformas de e-gobierno.

The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology of the coronary arteries of the goat’s heart. The study was carried out on 36 hearts of adult females dairy goats, belonging to two breeds, aged 7–12 years, with an average body weight of 37 kg. A distinct view of coronary arteries and their branches was obtained by filling them with dyed synthetic latex (LBS 3060) or Batson’s No. 17. In all studied goats the common trunk of the left coronary artery was divided into the interventricular paraconal branch and the circumflex branch. The branch of the interventricular septum originated in the interventricular paraconal branch. In 25 individuals (69%) the circumflex branch ended with small ramifications on the atrial surface of the heart. In 11 individuals (31%), the vessel extended in the subsinuosal interventricular groove into the subsinuosal interventricular branch. The right coronary artery was less developed than the left coronary artery. In 35 individuals (97%) the right coronary artery ended with small ramifications on the atrial surface of the heart. In one goat (3%) the vessel reached the subsinuosal interventricular groove and extended into the subsinuosal interventricular branch.

Authors: Bashirova Z. R.
Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND. One of the perspectives of modern Nephrology is the study of the mechanisms of nephrosclerosis in ADPKD. Matrix metalloproteinase system (MMP/TIMP)— enzymes that play a key role in the processes of proteolysis in the kidney. THE AIM: to determine the expression of the urine MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9 and their inhibitors TIMP-1 and 2, PAI-I, to establish their relationship with the volume of the kidney corrected to the surface of the body and the functional state of the kidneys, an additional criterion of progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 34 children with ADPKD. The level of MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9 and their inhibitors TIMP-1 and 2, PAI-I were determined in urine by ELISA. RESULTS. eGFR in children with total kidney volume greater than 97‰ was significantly lower than in children with normal total kidney volume. In the group of children with a total volume of the kidneys more than 97 percentile,a statistically significant increase in the level of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 and PAI-I in the urine, and a statistically significant low level of urinary excretion of MMP-3 and MMP-9, compared with the group of children with ADPKD with normal total volume of the kidneys. In the group of children with ADPKD and total kidney volume of more than 97 percentiles of an inverse correlation relationship between the level of eGFR and TIMP-2 and PAI-I, as well as a direct correlation relationship between the total volume of kidney and the urinary excretion of TIMP-1. CONCLUSION. MMP and its inhibitors play an important role in renal damage in children with ADPKD. These proteolysis factors are promising to use as an indicator of the severity of the accumulation of extracellular matrix, that is, monitoring the process of fibrosis, and used as a predictor of progression.

Authors: Caldarelli Carlos Eduardo , Moraes Márcia Azanha Ferraz Dias De , Paschoalino Pietro André Telatin
Published: February 2019

The demand growth for biofuels worldwide led to a significant increase in the Brazilian sugarcane ethanol industry from the 2000’s. This scenario affected specially the Center-South region of Brazil, which comprises the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, and Goiás, as well as the Federal District of Brasília, because it surpasses all other regions of the country in terms of the production and production facilities. Therefore, the aim of this study is to quantify the sugarcane ethanol industry effects on the per capita municipal gross domestic product (GDP) in the Center-South region of Brazil, for the 2000-2012 period. To that end, we estimated two econometric models, using panel data models and quantile regression. The results show that sugar ethanol industry has an important effect on GDP per capita for the Center-South region municipalities, furthermore the effects are more intensive on the lowest municipalities levels of the per capita GDP, thus being able to provide support for making public policy.

Published: February 2019

Desde os anos 90, verifica-se no Brasil o declínio da produção de cacau, em contraste com o crescimento consistente do processamento da amêndoa e da produção e crescimento do mercado de produtos finais como o chocolate no país. Este desequilíbrio evidencia a falta de coordenação entre os segmentos desta cadeia produtiva, o que tem gerado desafios aos agentes nela inseridos. Neste contexto, este presente estudo avalia as características da cadeia brasileira do cacau e chocolate, evidenciando suas dimensões e desafios diante da expansão do consumo de chocolate em paralelo às restrições na oferta do cacau. Foram estimados e avaliados renda e pessoal ocupado dos segmentos da cadeia. Entre os principais resultados, destacam-se: (i) em 2014 a cadeia gerou renda de R$ 13,4 bilhões, concentrada principalmente nos segmentos industrial e de serviços; (ii) a cadeia apresenta elevado efeito multiplicador de renda e empregos, movimentando elevado número de pequenas atividades produtivas e de serviços alimentícios, ainda que o segmento industrial apresente estrutura bastante concentrada; e, (iii)  a produção do cacau apresenta alta fragmentação da renda, sendo a atividade voltada basicamente para remunerar o trabalho envolvido, com baixo potencial de investimento.

Published: February 2019

To keep yield advances, farmers in Mato Grosso (MT) have been adopting several technological innovations. Therefore, agricultural production systems in MT have become complex and dynamic since farmers have to consider the increase of decision variables when planning and implementing their farming practices. These variables are widely spread across many distinct topics, bringing them together and summarizing information from diverse fields of research has become a difficult task in farmers’ decision-making process. Therefore, we performed an Integrated Assessment simulation experiment with a region-specific bio-economic component to assess trade-offs between different agricultural practices in a double cropping system. The simulation experiment was carried out with MPMAS, a multi-agent software package developed for simulating farm-based economic behavior and human-environment interactions in agriculture. Crop yields were simulated with the Model of Nitrogen and Carbon dynamics in Agro-ecosystems (MONICA). Our simulation results show a trade-off between lower soybean yields with the flexibility of double cropping when soybean with shorter maturity cycle is introduced. Results also captured regional differences in terms of land use share of different crops and farm configurations of double cropping. These results provide key insights into a farmer’s decision-making process depending on a multitude of decision variables.
A PRODUTIVIDADE E O IMPACTO DA LOGÍSTICA DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO NA EFICIÊNCIA DA SOJICULTURA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Rossetto Murilo , Peña Carlos Rosano
Published: February 2019

A soja, cultura tradicional na agricultura brasileira desde meados de 1960,tornou-se uma atividade com amplo impacto nas exportações e no Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) brasileiro. No entanto, um dos principais desafios do setor trata-se do elevado custo logístico de distribuição, os quais prejudicam a competitividade da mesma. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho estimou as fronteiras de eficiência e avaliou a produtividade dos principais municípios sojicultores brasileiros, utilizando-se do método da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA), da análise de janela com retornos constantes (CRS) e orientação a produção. Complementarmente, utilizou-se da abordagem metafronteira e do teste de Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney, a fim de verificar o impacto dos custos logísticos de distribuição na eficiência dos municípios, modelando-se dois grupos:1) cenário limitado à propriedade e 2) cenário que incorpora os custos logísticos de distribuição (aferidos na receita média por hectare). Por fim, utilizou-se o Índice de Malmquist (IMP) visando analisar a dinâmica dos níveis de produtividade e verificar a variação na eficiência técnica e a mudança tecnológica. Os resultados deste trabalho revelam a necessidade de intervenções que visem melhorar a competitividade da sojicultora.

Authors: Oliveira de Sousa Lucas , Dias Paes Ferreira Marcelo , Vogt Luisa , Mergenthaler Marcus
Published: February 2019

The article analyzes the operation of sunflower agri-food chains in Brazil to understand possible ways to supply innovative sunflower food protein from Brazil. The findings from a multiple-case study approach show that the dynamic of operation of Brazilian sunflower agri-food chains are based on contracts, social network and knowledge diffusion. Although necessary, this governance arrangement has not been able to guarantee a sustainable long-term operation due to market, technological and supply chain management bottlenecks. Regional characteristics influence the level of transaction costs and the role of inputs suppliers in the chains’ operation. The introduction of high value-added food protein products could raise the comparative advantage of sunflower in relation to competing crops, benefiting the chain operation. This article contributes to the understanding of the operation of agri-food chains focused on new or non-established crops, besides reinforcing the complementarity of transaction costs economics and social networks in explaining the functioning of social-economic systems.
CANAIS DE COMERCIALIZAÇÃO DE LEITE: FATORES DETERMINANTES PARA A COMERCIALIZAÇÃO PELO PRODUTOR GOIANO
Authors: Lima Paula D. , Medina Gabriel
Published: February 2019

A cadeia produtiva do leite é a principal possibilidade de inserção comercial para grande parte dos produtores rurais brasileiros. Entretanto, novas exigências de escala e de qualidade podem excluir produtores que a elas não se adequem. O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender as possibilidades de comercialização do ponto de vista do produtor de leite de Goiás. O levantamento de dados primários foi realizado por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com especialistas e pesquisa de campo com produtores rurais. Os resultados apontam para a existência de sete canais de comercialização para os quais o produtor goiano pode vender o leite, sendo três formais (cooperativa ou associação de produtores; cooperativa agroindustrial; e laticínio) e quatro informais, por não passarem pela fiscalização dos órgãos de vigilância (venda direta ao consumidor; queijeiro; atravessador; e produtor que agroindustrializa). Não foi encontrado perfil específico de produtor relacionado a cada um dos canais. Em Goiás, os canais formais restringem a entrada, mas não excluem os produtores, que também contam com a opção de canais informais. Novas pesquisas devem avaliar até que ponto o cenário goiano representa a realidade nacional e identificar as tendências do mercado informal de leite.

Gothic Revival and the Possibility of “Gothic Survival”
Authors: Degtyarev Vladislav V.
Published: February 2019

The notion of “Gothic survival” is still prevalent in literature on Gothic revival architecture in England. This concept implies the possibility of the unreflexive survival of Gothic architectural tradition in some distant provincial regions, where architects, searching connections with the past or folk traditions, could find it. This notion, dating back to the literature of the beginning of the 20th century, can be convincingly refuted by analyzing the meanings and purposes of different stages of Gothic revival. The article aims to demonstrate that the use of Gothic architectural forms in the second half of the 17th — beginning of the 18th century was initiated by intellectuals and had no connection to the preservation of artisan traditions.

The courtiers of Elizabeth I, re-enacting mediaeval romances and Arthurian legends, conducted the earliest known Gothic revival. The relation between Eli­zabethan architecture and Gothic tradition has been discussed many times. And in later decades — du­ring the Stuart era, the Commonwealth and after the Restoration — Gothic colleges and churches were extensively built.

Basing on the sources available, it can be assumed that, though there was not any chronological break in Gothic architectural tradition, Gothic revival had been ideologically biased from its very beginning. We can also say that the spread of classical architecture in England not only was unable to destroy the Gothic tradition, but also gave it new meanings and almost immediately made any appeal to Gothic forms an ideological statement.
Aleksandr Tvardovsky’s Journal “New World” in Memoirs
Authors: Ostroumova Tatiana O.
Published: February 2019

The article is devoted to the history of the journal “New World” of the second half of the 1950s — the 1960s, and the work of its chief editor A.T. Tvardovsky. It focuses on the second period of Tvardovsky’s editorship, the first part of which fell on the era of “thaw” (1958—1964), the second one — on the era of early “stagnation” (1965—1970). The article assesses the professional qualities of A.T. Tvardovsky as an editor. There are considered his literary preferences, attitude to the editorial work, and the factors that influenced the radical changes in his worldview. The author examines the editorial policy of the journal in the context of political changes in public life. Within the topic, the article shows the impact of various party and state bodies, including censorship, on culture and, in particular, on literature. There is traced the outline of events around “New World” journal, the publication history of the novel “One Day of Ivan Denisovich”, and the relations between A.T. Tvardovsky and A.I. Solzhenitsyn. There is analyzed the controversy surrounding A.I. Solzhenitsyn’s book “The Oak and the Calf”. The article notes the different level of publications’ information content of the “stagnation” and perestroika eras.

The purpose of the study is to determine the place of Tvardovsky’s “New World” in the literary and political struggle of the second half of the 1950s — the 1960s, and the journal’s impact on the worldview formation of the generation of intellectuals, who played a significant role in the restructuring of the 1980s. The article is relevant because the journal “New World” of the second half of the 1950s — the 1960s occupies one of the central places in the history of Russian Soviet literature and journalism. A.T. Tvardovsky’s “New World” was the most consistent conductor of the policy of de-Stalinization in the “thaw” era, and continued the chosen course, despite Brezhnev’s policy of re-Stalinization, thus becoming a legal journal opposing the current government. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that this topic is studied using memoir sources: recollections and diaries of the events’ participants — famous writers, literary critics, members of the Editorial Board and employees of the journal “New World” — as well as A.T. Tvardovsky’s “Workbooks” and “New World Diary”. These sources allow to supplement the known facts and to reconstruct events related to the legendary journal’s history. Conclusions and observations made by the author can be used to further study the history and work of “New World” journal.
Electronic Publications on Culture and Art in Russian Libraries (Based on the Materials of All-Russian Competitions)
Authors: Gorbunova Anna V.
Published: February 2019

Since 2004, the Russian State Library has organized all-Russian competitions of library electronic products on culture and art. In total, during six competitions, about 100 electronic publications has been presented, mainly by public libraries of regio­nal and municipal levels, as well as by federal, special and university libraries.

Analysis of the competitions’ materials allows to say that the libraries of Russia produce roughly the same number of network and local electronic publications, while the share of network publications is gradually increasing; in addition to the original editions, deri­vatives are published; there are few updated electro­nic publications, although they are very convenient for online distribution. In content, there are information publications devoted to the most vivid manifestations of national and regional culture and contribu­ting to its preservation and development. Professional literature is provided to help specialists of libraries and other institutions of culture and art.

Evaluation of the competitions’ electronic publications was carried out according to the following criteria: quality of content, compliance with the requirements for publications, design, functionality and technical characteristics. According to these criteria, more than half of the electronic publications parti­cipating in the 6th competition received average and high scores, which indicates a sufficiently high qua­lity of the electronic publications of libraries. Some publications received low scores mainly due to errors in the design and weak functionality.

The main conclusion: libraries have occupied a stable niche in electronic publishing.
Reading and Literary Preferences of Generation Z Schoolchildren: Socio-Cultural Context
Authors: Chudinova Vera P.
Published: February 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of transferring literary culture from previous generations to “Generation Z”. A brief description of this generation is presented from the perspective of the theory of generations by American researchers Neil Hove and William Strauss. The topic of children’s reading for generations of the 20th century is briefly covered. By the example of the reading repertoire of children and teenagers, works of literary classics and actual children’s literature, the article shows the process of gradual weakening of the transfer of values of literary culture from generation to ge­neration. The materials of complex and sociological research, conducted by the Russian State Children’s Library at the beginning of the 21st century, highlight the problems of reading the best literature that traditionally has been included in the reading of generations. The results of research given in the article testify to the process of losing the nearly century-old literary tradition. For instance, this problem can be seen in the example of parents choosing books for children of primary and secondary school age. In many ways, the repertoire of reading literary classics by children and adolescents is formed by school: this is the school curriculum and lists of extracurri­cular reading. The interest of schoolchildren in classical literature and in books of previous generations continues to fall. The process of changing the repertoire of leisure reading in adolescents is shown. The repertoire of their reading is significantly fragmen­ted. This is largely due to trends in the development of book publishing and the spread of literature. The article indicates the pros and cons of adolescents’ reading, caused by new information technologies; shows the influence of these technologies on reading literacy and reading culture. The process of literature selection by adolescents, boys and girls, is illustrated basing on the results of another new study. It is shown that the choice of schoolchildren is largely random and contains works of modern literature with a predominance of fantasy genre books. The research results demonstrate that today the main factors that have a significant impact on the choice of literature for teenagers and young people are video production and peers’ advice. Solving the problem of supporting reading and forming a reading circle of “Generation Z” schoolchildren, in the context of literary tradition attenuation, is a difficult task to be accomplished by competent adult mentors together with adolescents and young people themselves.

“NaCl Effect” was well known in biomass chemical degradation including carbohydrate transformations, in which NaCl had significant positive effect in promoting/catalyzing particular transformation. However, direct evidence was very rare in proposed mechanisms to elucidate “NaCl Effect”, here we reported 1H NMR evidences of “NaCl Effect” on different saccharides and at once non-selective bonding of Cl-H was proposed instead of sequence bonding during deconstruction of hydrogen bonding network based on evidences. A general recommending NaCl usage based on total hydroxyls on saccharides could well explain the best effect of hydrogen bonding destruction in most reported literatures.

Exploring Public Sector Managers’ Motivations in Deploying Decision Support Tools to the Street Level
Authors: McIntyre Chris
Published: February 2019

This article explores the motivations of public sector managers in developing and deploying digital tools to support decision making at the front lines of public service delivery. Two digital decision support tools created by New Zealand’s Ministry of Social Development are presented as a case study, drawing primarily on semi-structured interviews with senior managers. Results provide empirical evidence that public sector managers deploy digital tools not to curtail, but to support street-level bureaucrats’ discretion. Managers appear to be motivated not by increased control over front-line staff, but, rather, by improving clients’ experience of the system and decreasing longterm service costs.
Залежність виникнення післяопераційної когнітивної дисфункції від глибини анестезії у хворих після коронарного шунтування
Authors: Sudakevych S. M. , Loskutov O. A. , Shlapak I. P. , Nosovets O. K. , Todurov B. M.
Published: February 2019

Мета. Проаналізувати залежність виникнення післяопераційної когнітивної дисфункції (ПОКД) від глибини анестезії у хворих після оперативного втручання з приводу ішемічної хвороби серця (ІХС) - коронарного шунтування в умовах штучного кровообігу.

Матеріали і методи. Шунтування коронарних судин виконано 79 пацієнтам з ІХС, яких розподілили на дві групи за єдиним критерієм - в залежності від глибини анестезії під час перфузії. До 1-ї групи увійшли пацієнти, у яких під час анестезії показник біспектрального аналізу (BIS) утримувався на рівні менше 40, до 2-ї – на рівні від 40 до 55. До оперативного втручання, на 7-й день та через 3 міс після нього в обох групах застосовували нейрокогнітивні тести: шкалу оцінки психічного статусу (Mini Mental state examination - ММSЕ), а також тести за методикою Grooved pegboard і за методикою Trial Making Test Part A.

Результати. Застосування тесту MMSE продемонструвало, що пацієнти 1-ї групи на 7-й день після операції набирали на 7,8% (14,2; 5,6), а через 3 міс – на 3,8% (7,3; 3,4) менше балів у порівнянні з кількістю балів, яку вони набирали до операції. Пацієнти 2-ї групи на 7-й день після операції набирали на 4,3% (-8,3; 4,3) менше балів, а загальна кількість балів, яку вони набирали через 3 міс, не відрізнялася від загальної кількості балів, набраної ними до операції (-5,3; 0).

Застосування тесту візуальної уваги (Trial making test Part A) показало, що пацієнти 1-ї групи на 7-й день після операції витрачали на виконання тестового завдання на 13,8% (11; 16,5), а через 3 міс - на 3,3% (0; 5,7) більше часу у порівнянні з доопераційними показниками. У 2-й групі на 7-й день після операції пацієнти витрачали на виконання тесту на 3% (-2,4; 5,7) більше часу, а через 3 міс - на 2,6% (3,7; 2,9) менше часу, ніж до операції.

Результати тестування за методикою Grooved pageboard були такими. Пацієнти 1-ї групи на 7-й день після операції витрачали на виконання тесту на 8% (5,5; 10,9), а через 3 міс - на 4,8% (2,5; 9,4) більше часу, ніж до оперативного втручання, пацієнти 2-ї групи – відповідно 7,1 (5,2; 12,3) та 3,6% (2,4; 9,8).

Висновки. Результати клінічних досліджень у хворих після виконання коронарного шунтування показали, що під час штучного кровообігу показники BIS на рівні 40 – 55 відповідають оптимальній глибині анестезії, що є запорукою зменшення частоти виникнення ПОКД у ранньому періоді та через 3 міс після оперативного втручання. Фактором ризику виникнення ПОКД під час шунтування коронарних артерій в умовах штучного кровообігу є показники BIS менші 40.

Мета. Порівняти особливості зміни тканин підшлункової залози після експериментальних хірургічних втручань, виконаних з використанням стандартної хірургічної техніки та біполярного і монополярного зварювання.
Матеріали і методи. В умовах експерименту виконували резекцію підшлункової залози у білих лабораторних щурів з використанням стандартної хірургічної техніки, високоенергетичного електрохірургічного інструмента в біполярному режимі, високоенергетичного електрохірургічного інструмента в монополярному режимі. Гістологічні дослідження залози проводили безпосередньо після виконання операції та через 3, 7, 21 добу із застосуванням світлооптичного мікроскопа Leica DМ500.
Результати. Після застосування стандартної хірургічної техніки в ранні терміни виникало більш виражене запалення та швидше наростав об’єм новоутвореної сполучної тканини, ніж після використання електрохірургічних методів у біполярному та монополярному режимах. Після обох видів електрорезекції в новоутвореній тканині на 7-му добу формувались протоки, чого не спостерігали після використання стандартної техніки. Після резекції, виконаної за допомогою монополярного зварювання, утворювався менш щільний коагуляційний прошарок, ніж після застосування біполярного методу. Через 21 добу в зоні резекції формувався більш значний об’єм сполучної тканини та зберігалися більш виражені ознаки запалення, ніж після використання біполярного методу.
Висновки. У разі використання біполярної та монополярної техніки резекції скорочується тривалість виконання оперативного втручання, зменшується ризик виникнення кровотечі, утворюється більш герметичне з’єднання на резектованій поверхні, не ускладнюються процеси  відновлення.

Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses both circulated in Europe in October 2018–January 2019. Interim results from six studies indicate that 2018/19 influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates among all ages in primary care was 32–43% against influenza A; higher against A(H1N1)pdm09 and lower against A(H3N2). Among hospitalised older adults, VE estimates were 34–38% against influenza A and slightly lower against A(H1N1)pdm09. Influenza vaccination is of continued benefit during the ongoing 2018/19 influenza season.

Introduction

Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) related to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is the leading cause of acute renal failure in young children. In France, HUS surveillance in children aged < 15 years was implemented starting from 1996.

Aim

We present the results of this surveillance between 2007 and 2016.

Methods

A voluntary nationwide network of 32 paediatric departments notifies cases. Two national reference centres perform microbiological STEC confirmation.

Results

Over the study period, the paediatric HUS incidence rate (IR) was 1.0 per 100,000 children-years, with a median of 116 cases/year. In 2011, IR peaked at 1.3 per 100,000 children-years, and decreased to 1.0 per 100,000 children-years in 2016. STEC O157 associated HUS peaked at 37 cases in 2011 and decreased to seven cases in 2016. Cases of STEC O26-associated HUS have increased since 2010 and STEC O80 associated HUS has emerged since 2012, with 28 and 18 cases respectively reported in 2016. Four STEC-HUS food-borne outbreaks were detected (three STEC O157 linked to ground beef and raw-milk cheese and one STEC O104 linked to fenugreek sprouts). In addition, two outbreaks related to person-to-person transmission occurred in distinct kindergartens (STEC O111 and O26).

Conclusions

No major changes in HUS IRs were observed over the study period of 10 years. However, changes in the STEC serogroups over time and the outbreaks detected argue for continuing epidemiological and microbiological surveillance.

On 16 September 2016, the World Health Organization confirmed a Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreak in Niger. Epidemiological surveillance was reinforced among the French Armed Forces deployed in Niger and bordering countries: Chad, Mali and Burkina Faso. On 26 October, a probable case of RVF was reported in a service member sampled in Mali 3 weeks earlier. At the time the result was reported, the patient was on vacation on Martinique. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to confirm this case and identify other cases. Finally, the case was not confirmed, but three suspected cases of RVF were confirmed using serological and molecular testing. RVF viral RNA was detectable in whole blood for 57 and 67 days after onset of symptoms for two cases, although it was absent from plasma and serum. At the time of diagnosis, these cases had already returned from Mali to Europe. The infectivity of other arboviruses in whole blood has already been highlighted. That RVF virus has been detected in whole blood that long after the onset of symptoms (67 days) raises the question of its potential prolonged infectivity. Because of exposure to tropical infectious diseases during deployment, military populations could import emerging pathogens to Europe.

Following the discovery in 2015 of the variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1) in fatal encephalitis cases among exotic squirrel breeders and a zoo animal caretaker in Germany, a case definition was developed. It was employed during trace-back animal trade investigations and sero-epidemiological studies among breeders and zoo animal caretakers of holdings with VSBV-1 infected squirrels. During the investigation, two possible human cases who had died of encephalitis were identified retrospectively among the squirrel breeders. Moreover, one probable human case was detected among the breeders who had a positive memory T-cell response to VSBV-1 antigen and antibodies against VSBV-1. The low rate of seropositivity found among living persons in risk groups that handle exotic squirrels privately or at zoos may reflect rareness of exposure to VSBV-1 during animal contact, a high lethality of infection or a combination of these factors. As a precaution against human exposure, testing of exotic squirrels for VSBV-1 infection and/or avoiding direct contact with exotic squirrels in zoos and private holdings is strongly advised.
La obra literaria, la teoría de la recepción y el lector competente: un breve acercamiento
Authors: Aguilar Guerrero Diana María
Published: February 2019

En el siguiente artículo se propone el camino que debe recorrer el lector de una obra literaria que sea perteneciente al canon. Se considera la elección del texto literario y pasando por la teoría de la recepción desmantelar el artificio, que es de lo que se encuentra hecha una buena obra, para finalmente llegar al goce estético, que no es otra cosa que el entendimiento y comprensión de lo que un prodigioso escritor quiso ocultar para exigir al lector a no quedarse con una lectura inocente y superficial. No está de más la crítica a la flexibilización académica del modelo pedagógico que poco se ocupa de una lectura apropiada y llena de significado.

La negación del azar como núcleo temático en Madame Bovary de Gustave Flaubert
Authors: Paez Mario Andrés
Published: February 2019

Resumen: En la brevedad de este escrito, el autor expone el análisis derivado de su lectura de la novela realista titulada Madame Bovary, publicada en Paris entre 1856 y 1857 bajo la autoría del escritor francés Gustave Flaubert. En esta lectura, caracterizada por una amplia elaboración subjetiva, el autor propone una discusión a partir de dos elementos de análisis semióticos que corresponden en primer lugar a la clasificación del género literario en la cual es posible ubicar la citada novela de Flaubert, y en segundo lugar, a la propuesta de un núcleo temático que puede representar un importante eje de esta novela, dicho núcleo temático se define en esta reflexión como la negación del azar. Este último referente de análisis semiótico, permite plantear la discusión de un relevante concepto en no pocas meditaciones de orden ontológico, se hace alusión acá al concepto de deseo y por supuesto, a sus implicaciones en los actos y los destinos humanos. Palabras Clave: Madame Bovary, novela realista francesa, negación del azar. Palabras clave: Madame Bovary, novela realista francesa, negación del azar.
