Seasonal Site of Shadrinsky Maslozavod of Russian Migrants in the Ishim Steppe Region
Authors: Matveeva Natalia P.
Published: March 2021

Purpose. The sites of the Russian colonization period continued to stay insufficiently known in Western Siberia. The author considers new materials of excavation of two Russian migrant dwellings for studying local and chronological dynamic of life-support.
Results. This site was localized at the bank of Shadrinskoye Lake in the steppe region of Ishim River valley in the Western Siberia region. Buildings stood alone and were not synchronic. They were small in size – 10 m2 and 18 m2, of rectangular form, and of varying depth. They had plank floors, a gable roof and access to the lake. After the fire, a shallow half-dugout dwelling with a larger area was built in place of the deep dugout, which eventually burned down too. The iron axes, traces of drying of nets with sinkers arranged in the complexes, the bones of domestic animals and fish were found. It is interesting that the sinkers are of different forms: biconic, cylindrical, trapeziform with one hole and flat oval form without a hole. The last type was used with wrapped birch bark. Two pots looked like 18th century brown Russian professional pottery. Despite fishing of the habitants, the bones of animals from food leftovers show the developing cattle breeding with predominant livestock and pig breeding in the local community. The chronology of this site was defined based on the periods of function of iron axes with the wide and the rounded off blades, ceramic and adobe clay brick (which had not been imported until much later) at the beginning of the 18th century.
Conclusion. The site is interesting as a source of the early stage of Russian development of Siberia and as an ordinary life-supporting complex. It shows the combination of production branches with the development in fishing and game bird hunting in their natural habitat in the ecological lake systems of the steppe zone. Fishing for smaller fish was conducted for the purposes of diversifying the food ration.
PRINCIPLES OF LITERATURE AND MUSICAL ART INTERACTION OF THE UKRAINIAN DIASPORA DURING THE XX – EARLY XXI CENTURY
Authors: Dutchak Violetta
Published: March 2021

The study presents the methodological foundations analysis of the interaction between music and literature of the Ukrainian diaspora in the period of XX – early XXI century. In particular, the article offers an example of analysis of such interaction on the example of Ukrainian diaspora bandura art. Fundamental in the methodological analysis of the art interaction, and in particular literature and music, are the forms of emigrant (diasporic) worldview – conservative (traditional), synthesizing (unifying), and transforming (experimental). They are manifested in various forms of foreign artists’ creative activity – editing (restoration) of ancient genres, their modification and metamorphosis. The concept of “meta-art” was used as the main methodological basis for the music and literature interaction analysis, which is aimed at finding mechanisms for a comprehensive analysis of the Ukrainian diaspora art within the historical stages (according to emigration waves) and within the territorial settlements that found its reflection in figurative-thematic, value-aesthetic, genre, stylistic priorities of artists and interpretation of their ideas and meanings. The levels of literature and musical art interaction are considered by the author of the article on the inclusion samples in the bandura repertoire of various genres arrangements of folklore, religious and spiritual creativity, “shevchenkiana”, and works based on the Ukrainian poems of the XIX – XX centuries. Among the musical and folklore samples are epos (dumas, historical songs), domestic, humorous, lyrical songs, and the latest genres of works of the liberation struggle – songs of Sich riflemen, rebel songs. Among the spiritual and religious works are psalms and chants, kolyadkas and shchedrivkas, as well as religious and liturgical compositions by D. Bortnyansky, A. Hnatyshyn, M. Haivoronsky, M. Lysenko, D. Sichynsky, and other works arranged for bandura ensembles or chapels. Shevchenkiana bandura repertoire includes arrangements of folk songs and author’s works based on T. Shevchenko’s poems for solo bandura players and ensembles, recorded in music editions and sound recordings. Examples of cooperation between composers and poets in bandura art (in particular, H. Kytasty and I. Bahriany) are analyzed separately.

MIRTALA PYLYPENKO’S COLLECTION IN THE MUSEUM OF HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF OSTROH ACADEMY
Authors: Kheleniuk Anastasia
Published: March 2021

Special attention in this article is paid to the analysis of art collection of the Ukrainian artist from abroad Mirtala Pylypenko at the Museum of Ostroh Academy. In 1997 the Museum of history of the Ostroh Academy was founded. A great contribution to its development process was made by Ukrainians from abroad. They supported the museum, sent interesting exhibits, and joined in museum projects. Nowadays the museum has valuable art collections, among which sculptures of the well-known Ukrainian artist Mirtala Pylypenko. Mirtala Pylypenko was born in Ukraine. During World War II she emigrated, and since 1947 she has been living and working in the USA. She graduated from the Boston Museum’s Art School and Tufts University in Boston. Mirtala’s sculptures are not just artworks, but a profound philosophical and original vision of the world. She showed her talent not only in sculpture and art photography, but also in poetry – her poetic collections “Verses”, “Rainbow Bridge”, “Road to Oneself” have been published in various languages. Mirtala received acclaim in the US and Europe in the 1970s – 1980s. Since the early 1990s her works have been known in Ukraine, where the artist held a series of solo exhibits and presentations.  Mirtala presented one collection of her works to the National University of Ostroh Academy. Now it is one of the most valuable collections in the university museum. As a sculptor with a long exhibiting career, Mirtala has combined images of her sculptures with her poems, creating a single whole, which is greater than its parts. Mirtala’s collection of sculptures is monumental, philosophic and gracious. However, at the same time, it is sunny and brings back the life-asserting symbols of eternal space and time. The artist has spent most of her life across the ocean (in the USA), but her soul remains tied to Ukraine. Mirtala Pylypenko is an extraordinary figure in the Ukrainian art. And now, many generations of university students have an opportunity to get acquainted with her unique talent. It is important that sooner or later, Ukraine reveals its artists. Therefore, the museum tries to return and represent the Ukrainian diaspora art and history in museum collections in order to create a single Ukrainian cultural space.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY, QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN STUDENTS UNDER DISTANT LEARNING DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Zasiekina Larysa V.
Published: March 2021

The study aims to examine quality of life aligned with functional difficulties among students under distant and blended learning during COVID-19 pandemic. The particular focus has been given to challenges related to academic integrity and quality of education at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The approval letter to recruit the participants through Students Union at Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University (LUVNU) was obtained from Ethical Committee at LUVNU. 554 students, females 67,4%, average age 20,93 (SD = 3,29), 74,0 % undergraduate students, 88,4 % students from humanities and social sciences were recruited. Academic Integrity Questionnaire (Schwartz, Tatum, & Hageman, 2013), and, COVID-related functional difficulties and stress associated with exposure to COVID-19 (Schiff, Zasiekina, Pat-Horenczyk, & Benbenishty, 2020) have been used. The study applied the cross sectional, between subjects design utilizing the independent variables of health-related difficulties, learning-related difficulties and loneliness-related difficulties aligned with forced social isolation during pandemic, and fear to be infected for multiple regression analysis. The results in this study indicate that that the main students’ concern is associated with health-related difficulties. The only one independent significant predictor of students’ fear to be infected is health-related difficulties, although all dependent variables taken together (health-related difficulties, learning-related difficulties and loneliness-related difficulties) are robust predictors of students’ fear to be infected. The most acceptable situations for students in terms of dishonest behaviour are situations of collaborating on lab report when instructed not to; submitting same paper for two classes; purchasing and downloading a paper from online sources. The next study, therefore, moves on to discuss the main instruments for developing academic integrity and quality of education under distant and blended learning at HEis.

Bu çalışmanın amacı literatür taraması yöntemini kullanarak gelişme kuramları arasındaki farklılıkları ortaya koymak ve Yeni Kurumsal İktisat çerçevesinde konuya son dönemde yapılan katkıları irdelemektedir. Gelişme kavramının kazandığı anlam kuramsal gelişmelere ve dönemin hâkim iktisat ekolüne göre değişim göstermektedir. Klasik iktisadın gelişme kavramını büyüme ile eşdeğer görmesi uzun dönem literatüre hâkim bakış açısı olmuştur.

Background. The prevalence of infections caused by multiple resistant K. pneumoniae strains is an actual problem. Purpose. To investigate antibacterial resistance of hospital strains of K. pneumoniae – causative agents of purulent septic infections, to determine the resistance level of carbapenem-resistant strains of K. pneumoniae to polymyxins, to analyze their main profiles of antibiotic sensitivity. Material and methods. Antibiotic susceptibility of 146 clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae was determined using the disk diffusion method. The method of sequential microdilutions in broth with determination of MIC was used for isolates resistant to carbapenems. Results. For the majority of clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae (85.2%), only 3 antibiotics (colistin, tigecycline and amikacin) showed acceptable activity in vitro. For one strain resistance to all tested antimicrobial drugs was revealed. Conclusion. The data on extremely high resistance of K. pneumoniae to carbapenems, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides were confirmed. A high level of colistin resistance was also identified.

Background. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading diseases causing disability in childhood. It is necessary to improve existing medical technologies and introduce new modern ways of treating children with CP which can improve their life quality. Objective of the study. To explore the impact of virtual reality (VR) technologies within the frames of complex medical rehabilitation upon life quality of patients with CP. Material and methods. The study was observational, retrospective-prospective, cohort, and comparative in nature. It included 58 pediatric patients with levels II-III spastic forms of CP according to MACS. Rehabilitation in combination with virtual reality technologies was carried out for 30 patients, 28 patients received medical rehabilitation without using VR. Life quality (PedsQL-4.0) was evaluated 2 months after the rehabilitation course. Results. Medical rehabilitation with the methods of everyday use of virtual reality technologies directed at improving manipulative hand function in children with cerebral palsy significantly increases life quality (PedsQL-4.0) for blocks of physical function and physical activity (pKruscal–Wallis<0.001), emotional function (pKruscal–Wallis<0.001), social function (pKruscal–Wallis<0.001) as well as role functioning in learning (pKruscal–Wallis<0.001) in comparison to children who received rehabilitation without using these technologies which can be the reason for including virtual reality methods into the process of rehabilitation treatment of patients with CP.
Overcome the Energy Gap Law in Near-Infrared Emissive Aggregates via Nonadiabatic Coupling Suppression

Published: March 2021

The pursuing of purely organic materials with high-efficiency near-infrared (NIR) emissions is fundamentally limited by the large non-radiative decay rates (knr) governed by the energy gap law. Here, we demonstrated a feasible and innovative strategy by employing intermolecular charge-transfer (CT) aggregates (CTA) to realize high-efficiency NIR emissions via nonadiabatic coupling suppression. The formation of CTA engenders intermolecular CT in the excited states; thereby, not only reducing the electronic nonadiabatic coupling and contributing to small knr for high-efficiency NIR photoluminescence, but also stabilizing excited-state energies and achieving thermally activated delayed fluorescence for high-efficiency NIR electroluminescence. This work provides new insights into aggregates and opens a new avenue for organic materials to overcome the energy gap law and achieve high-efficiency NIR emissions.
A Practical, Component-Based Synthetic Route to Methylthiolincosamine Permitting Facile Northern-Half Diversification of Lincosamide Antibiotics
Authors: Mitcheltree Matthew , Stevenson Jack W. , Pisipati Amarnath , Myers Andrew G.
Published: March 2021

The development of a flexible, component-based synthetic route to the aminosugar fragment of the lincosamide antibiotics is described. This synthetic route hinges on the application and extension of nitroaldol chemistry to forge strategic bonds within complex aminosugar targets, and employs a glycal epoxide as a versatile glycosyl donor for the installation of various anomeric groups. Through building-block exchange and late-stage functionalization, this route affords access to a host of rationally designed lincosamides otherwise inaccessible by semisynthesis, and underpins a platform for the discovery of new lincosamide antibiotics.
The Effects of Protein Charge Patterning on Complex Coacervation
Authors: Zervoudis Nicholas , Obermeyer Allie
Published: March 2021

The complex coacervation of proteins with other macromolecules has applications in protein encapsulation and delivery and for determining the function of cellular coacervates. Theoretical or empirical predictions for protein coacervates would enable the design of these coacervates with tunable and predictable structure-function relationships; unfortunately, no such theories exist. To help establish predictive models, the impact of protein-specific parameters on complex coacervation were probed in this study. The complex coacervation of sequence-specific, polypeptide-tagged, GFP variants and a strong synthetic polyelectrolyte was used to evaluate the effects of protein charge patterning on phase behavior. Phase portraits for the protein coacervates demonstrated that charge patterning dictates the protein’s binodal phase boundary. Protein concentrations over 100 mg mL-1 were achieved in the coacervate phase, with concentrations dependent on the polypeptide sequence. In addition to shifting the binodal phase boundary, polypeptide charge patterning provided entropic advantages over isotropically patterned proteins. Together, these results show that modest changes of only a few amino acids alter the coacervation thermodynamics and can be used to tune the phase behavior of polypeptides or proteins of interest.

The dearth of new medicines effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria presents a growing global public health concern. For more than five decades, the search for new antibiotics has relied heavily upon the chemical modification of natural products (semi-synthesis), a method ill-equipped to combat rapidly evolving resistance threats. Semi-synthetic modifications are typically of limited scope within polyfunctional antibiotics, usually increase molecular weight, and seldom permit modifications of the underlying scaffold. When properly designed, fully synthetic routes can easily address these shortcomings. Here we report the structure-guided design and component-based synthesis of a rigid oxepanoproline scaffold which, when linked to the aminooctose residue of clindamycin, produces an antibiotic of exceptional potency and spectrum of activity, here named iboxamycin. Iboxamycin is effective in strains expressing Erm and Cfr rRNA methyltransferase enzymes, products of genes that confer resistance to all clinically relevant antibiotics targeting the large ribosomal subunit, namely macrolides, lincosamides, phenicols, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, and streptogramins. X-ray crystallographic studies of iboxamycin in complex with the native 70S bacterial ribosome, as well as the Erm-methylated 70S ribosome, uncover the structural basis for this enhanced activity, including an unforeseen and unprecedented displacement of upon antibiotic binding. In mice, iboxamycin is orally bioavailable, safe, and effective in treating bacterial infections, testifying to the capacity for chemical synthesis to provide new antibiotics in an era of rising resistance.

Published: March 2021

The exciton dynamics of violanthrone-79 are investigated in solution and in the solidstate. In solution, the photo-prepared singlet is found to exhibit a strong ground-state bleachand stimulated emission feature, but when sensitized in its triplet state, exhibits only a narrowand weak ground-state bleach. As supported by density functional theory calculations,this is explained by the triplet state having absorptions in the same region, with a similaroscillator strength, as the ground state molecule. In solid films, the excited singlet isfound to survive only 100 ps, giving way to a long-lived transient absorption spectrum withcharacteristics reminiscent of the triplet in solution. This is interpreted in terms of singletfission in the solid film.

Published: March 2021

The study was aimed to analyse the pattern of medication errors and drug interaction induced adverse drug reactions in the psychiatry department of a tertiary care hospital. A Prospective observational study being conducted in the inpatient and outpatient department of psychiatry in a tertiary care hospital, Erode, Tamil Nadu for over six months. A total of 80 prescriptions with psychiatric illness and 174 medication errors were observed. Of the 174 medication errors observed, 132(75.8%) were incomplete prescriptions making the highest number of medication errors. The highest number of errors occurred due to Prescription error 156(89.0%), followed by administration error 8(4.5%). According to the NCCMERP classification, the majority of medication errors were coming under category B 120(68.9%) but there is no harm. The demographic reports of outpatients in the present study showed a higher incidence of medication errors in patients with the age group of 31-40 years 25(36.7%). Considering the factors contributing to a medication error, refusal of the patient to take the drug 27(39.7%) followed by forgetting 13(19.1%) due to the vulnerable characteristics of the patient was more significant. Although there is a general lack of awareness, many patients and bystanders are unaware of their diagnosis and medications. It is, therefore, a crucial step to educate and make them aware of the correct use of medicine.

Published: March 2021

The aim of this study is to estimate the levels of serum uric acid in patients with acute myocardial infarction and also to study the correlation with Killip’s Classification of Cardiac failure. This is a cross sectional study, we selected the patients from ICCU and emergency department. 30 patients with AMI and age matched controls taken for study. Uric acid levels measured in Autoanalyzer Beckman Coulter AU 480. The mean serum uric acid among the study group and the control group on the day of admission (Day 0) was 7.6 ± 1.6 and 5.4 ± 1.2 respectively. There was a gradual increase in the SUA levels on Day 0, 3 and 7 and was proportionate with the increasing Killip’s class.  It is concluded that the serum uric acid (SUA) levels are increased significantly among patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)when compared with the controls. It is also evident that there is a significant correlation between SUA levels and the severity of the AMI based on the Killip’s classification. Higher the Killip’s class, higher the uric acid levels. Therefore, SUA shall be used as a marker in diagnosing and as a cofactor useful along with other clinical examinations and investigations to interpret the severity of AMI as well. However, additional work must be done to understand the full clinical potential of Uric acid and correlation with other cardiac failure parameters.

Authors: Abd Aziz Ahmad Fadzli
Published: March 2021

With a gradual increase in urban road traffic volume and traffic congestion degree, how to improve and solve the current traffic pressures has been a problem requiring urgent solution. To improve the traffic congestion status in urban road intersections and heighten the road traffic efficiency, the principle of fuzzy control is employed in this paper. Moreover, the multi-phase signal traffic control of intersections is performed together with vehicle queue lengths in lanes corresponding to the key traffic flow, and a traffic signal fuzzy control system is designed. Finally, this paper compares the simulation results between the fuzzy control system designed herein and the existing fixed traffic signal control methods. The comparative test results have shown that the fuzzy control method can well better actual congestion and traffic efficiency at intersections to a greater degree than the fixed timing method does.

We analyzed possibility to increase density of field-effect heterotransistors framework an injection locked oscillator. We obtain, that to increase the density of the considered transistors one shall manufacture them in a heterostructure with specific configuration (substrate and epitaxial layer with sections, which were manufactured by using other materials). These sections should be doped by using ion implantation or dopant diffusion. After the doping optimized annealing of dopant and/or radiation defects should done. To formulate recommendations for the optimization we model mass transport (with account nonlinearity) with time and space varying parameters. To make the modelling we introduce an analytical approach. The approach gives a possibility to make the above modelling without crosslinking of solution on interfaces of the heterostructure.

Published: March 2021

Este trabalho apresenta um projeto piloto que expõe uma prática pedagógica com a intenção de propor uma nova forma de pensar a leitura depois da intermediação da tecnologia. Ele tem por objetivo analisar o sentido da leitura extraído da produção de uma narrativa multissemiótica proveniente da leitura do clássico literário Moby Dyck de Herman Melville. O público alvo são alunos do 1º ano do Ensino Médio Técnico do Instituto Federal do Sudeste de Minas Gerais ”“ Campus Rio Pomba[1]. O estudo utilizou a tradução intersemiótica como recurso didático técnico para a formação leitora. A utilização da representação imagética justificou ”“ se por oportunizar a produção de novas linguagens mediada pela máquina. A prática analisou o clássico literário Moby Dyck de Herman Melville associados em diferentes gêneros e formato: resumo, imagem e meme. Na análise dos dados foram usadas as  conceituações  sobre Tradução Intersemiótica conforme Plaza (2003); a teoria do Gênero Discursivo consoante Bakhtin (1997 [1929]) e o conceito da Pedagogia de Multiletramentos  segundo o Grupo de Nova Londres (1996).  O resultado exibiu as múltiplas formas que a linguagem pode se enquadrar em prol da formação leitora.  A conclusão se fundamentou conforme Plaza (2003, p. 210) no seguinte excerto: “[...] julgamos possível ser pensada a tradução também como forma de iluminar a prática.”

 

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Gênero Meme, Narrativa Multissemiótica, Gênero do Discurso, Tradução Intersemiótica, Formação do Leitor.

O Modelo Padrão e duas possíveis rotas de extensão
Authors: Belich H. , Leite E.V.B
Published: March 2021

Simetrias e leis de conservação, e violação dessas simetrias são excelentes guias na formulação de modelos físicos em diversas escalas de energia. A violação de simetrias por transição de fase (violação espontânea de simetria) consegue descrever sistemas que vão desde a Matéria Condensada até a Física de Altas Energias. Nestas notas iremos apresentar um desenvolvimento conceitual de simetrias e suas violações usando inicialmente como exemplo a simetria global de rotação e sua violação espontânea de simetria global, por um fluido escalar gerando o ferromagnetismo. Usando como exemplo de transição a supercondutividade faremos um esboço do Mecanismo de Anderson-Higgs. Este mesmo mecanismo é utilizado para unificar o Eletromagnetismo e a interação Fraca no Modelo Padrão de Weinberg-Salam-Glashow. Finalizamos as notas apresentando duas propostas de extensão desse modelo: a Violação de Simetria de Lorentz dadas de duas maneiras: violação espontânea, e violação explícita por Teorias Não-Comutativas.
CLUSTER APPROACH IN CULTURAL HERITAGE TOURISM CASE OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN SECTION OF SILK ROAD
Authors: Mukhambetov T. , Ottenbacher M.
Published: March 2021

Modern social and economic science pays little attention to the development of tourism based on new approaches to its management and organization. As a result, the most important sector of the economy develops in practice on the basis of not always effective traditional models. The research problem of the development of a new approach to the organization of tourism products with cross-border nature is developed in this article. The purpose was to develop a methodological toolkit for the development of cross-border tourism based on the cluster approach. To achieve this goal, the study design was based on the study of tourism features that affect the planning and clustering process. The highlighted stages of clustering in the form of identifying tourism objects, designing clusters, forming cluster structures form the basis of a new socio-economic model of the tourism industry. To design a regional cross-border tourism cluster, a method is substantiated and applied to correlate all indicators of cluster tourism development to the number of cultural and historical objects. The selected 19 indicators of development are combined into 6 groups, which make it possible to comprehensively assess the cluster organization of tourism in the region. The approbation of the indicators was carried out on the example of all five countries of the Central Asian section of the Silk Road. Model calculations of the developed set of analytical cluster indicators made it possible to combine the identified objects in each region into homogeneous clusters. In this case, Ward’smethod was used, and the square of the Euclidean distance was used as the objective function and criterion of similarity and difference. The proposed cluster maps make it possible to activate and increase the competitiveness of the tourism product as a whole and give impetus to socio-economic development in each country of the Central Asian region. Key words: tourism, tourism competitiveness, social and economic development of the region, the Silk Road, tourism cluster, cluster design.
The first report on Campylobacter coli family outbreak detected in Poland in 2006
Authors: Wardak S , Szych J , Sadkowska-Todys M
Published: March 2021

A family outbreak of gastroenteritis caused by Campylobacter coli occurred in May 2006 in Bielsko-Biala, in the south of Poland. Four members of a family had non-bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps. C. coli were isolated in three of the four patients. PFGE and PCR-RFLP-flaA patterns confirmed the link between cases, showing the usefulness of these methods in outbreak investigation. At the same time, the epidemiological and environmental investigations of this outbreak were very limited and did not provide enough evidence to identify the source of infection, and thus to support the hypothesis formulated by the local epidemiologist. It is necessary to improve surveillance of campylobacteriosis mainly by multidisciplinary training of epidemiologists, microbiologists and general practitioners.
An increase in the number of mumps cases in the Czech Republic, 2005-2006

Published: March 2021

The Czech Republic has had a two-dose measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination programme since 1987. The last outbreak of mumps was reported in 2002, but an increase in the number of mumps cases was observed in 2005, starting in October that year. We analysed routinely collected surveillance data from 1 January 2005 to 30 June 2006 to show the magnitude of the increase and describe the most affected groups in order to better target prevention and control strategies. In the 18-month period examined, 5,998 cases of mumps were notified, with a peak incidence in May 2006. No deaths were recorded, but 21% of cases were hospitalised. Incidence was lowest in the Plzeň region (1.9/100,000) and highest in Zlín (118.6/100,000). There were more male (61.8%) than female cases. The age of the cases ranged from 0 to 80 years. The highest incidence rate was observed in the age group of 15 to 19 years, in which 87% of cases had received two doses of mumps vaccine. The average age of unvaccinated cases was 22.9 years, while for cases vaccinated with two doses it was 14.5 years. Although vaccine effectiveness could not be calculated from the data available, possible reasons for highly-vaccinated cases occurring are discussed.

Authors reply: Prevention of the spread of infection – the need for a family-centred approach to hygiene promotion
Authors: Bloomfield S , Exner M , Fara G  M , Scott E A
Published: March 2021

We agree that promulgating the hygiene hypothesis and related environmental issues to the public can serve to confuse, rather than to inform. The reality is however that these issues have already received widespread coverage by the media, which tends to leave the public concerned and confused about the role of hygiene and cleanliness, particularly in relation to the functioning of the immune system.

In the summer of 2006, several cruise-related viral gastroenteritis outbreaks were reported in Europe. One report came from a river-cruise, belonging to a ship-owner who had two other ships with outbreaks. This situation warranted onsite investigation in order to identify a potential common source of infection. A retrospective cohort study was performed among 137 people on board. Epidemiological questionnaire data were analysed using logistic regression. Stool, food, water and surface samples were collected for norovirus detection. Norovirus GGII.4-2006b was responsible for 48 gastroenteritis cases on this ship as confirmed in six patients. Identical norovirus sequences were detected in stool samples, on surfaces and in tap water. Epidemiological and microbiological data indicated multiple exposures contributing to the outbreak. Microbiological results demonstrated person-to-person transmission to be clearly present. Epidemiological results indicated that consuming tap water was a risk factor; however, this could not be concluded definitively on the basis of the available data. A common source for all cruise-related outbreaks was unlikely. The ongoing outbreaks on this ship demonstrated that evidence based guidelines on effective disinfection strategies are needed.
