Background
Measles is still endemic in Italy and outbreaks are frequent. From 2016 to 2018, more than 7,000 measles cases were reported to the national integrated measles and rubella surveillance system, the largest outbreak since implementation of this system.

Aim
We aimed to describe the characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of measles cases in Italy and explore determinants of incidence at municipality level.

Methods
We performed a retrospective observational study, mapping by municipality all measles cases reported to the national surveillance system with symptom onset between 1 September 2016 and 31 July 2018. We also analysed measles–mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination coverage (VC) data (2000–2017) for the first and second dose, collected from the Ministry of Health. We used regression analysis to explore factors associated with measles incidence at municipality level.

Results
We analysed 7,854 cases, 3,927 (50%) female. Median age was 26 years; 475 cases (6%) were younger than 1 year. The outbreak occurred in two epidemic waves. The first started in central/northern regions (end of 2016), the second (mostly within 2018) was concentrated in southern regions. In 2016 and 2017, national VC was below 95% for both MMR doses. In 2017, only one region reported VC above 95% for the first dose. At municipality level, incidence was associated with higher urbanisation, less deprivation and fewer adults.

Conclusion
The spread of measles between September 2016 and July 2018 in Italy indicates the need to improve VC and to explore further how societal and other parameters might be linked to incidence.

Diferencias salariales entre ciudades en el Ecuador
Authors: Óbaco Álvarez Moisés , Espinoza Piguave Edwin Ulises 
Published: April 2019

En este artículo se realiza una comparación de los ingresos monetarios entre los habitantes de las principales ciudades del Ecuador, principalmente entre Cuenca, Guayaquil y Quito. El objetivo es cuantificar si existe una brecha salarial referente a los ingresos promedios entre estas tres ciudades, y dentro de ellas. Adicionalmente, se analizan datos sobre las percepciones de los beneficios de migrar entre ciudades. Para este análisis se utilizan las encuestas de ENEMDU y ENALQUI. Entre los resultados principales, se tiene que Guayaquil es una ciudad con problemas para generar y atraer mano de obra capacitada, por lo que necesitaría urgentemente el rediseño de sus políticas; Quito parece ser el centro de la burocracia con salarios mucho más altos, y por lo tanto atrae trabajadores calificados; Cuenca parece tener una estructura socio-económica parecida a la de las ciudades de los países desarrollados. La conclusión más importante de esta investigación es que el Ecuador es una economía con inequidad distributiva, no solo entre estratos sociales, sino entre ciudades, y Guayaquil es la ciudad más afectada por esa inequidad.

Investigations for In-house prepared Biocompatible Feed Stock Filament of Fused Deposition Modelling: A Process Capability study
Authors: Ranjan Nishant , Singh Rupinder , Ahuja IPS 
Published: April 2019

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the low cost additive manufacturing (AM) process. The feed stock filament of FDM is the only consumable in the process and by preparing (in-house) bio compatible feed stock filament the application domain can be increased. Some studies have reported the use of twin screw extrusion (TSE) process for preparation of bio compatible feed stock filament (comprising of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polypropylene (PP) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles) with improved mechanical, dimensional and thermal properties, for commercial FDM setup. But hitherto very less has been reported on process capability of in-house prepared biocompatible feed stock filament. In the present work statistical analysis (for tensile strength, hardness and dimensional accuracy) has been performed for investigations of process capability. The results have been also supported by control charts (X-chart and R-chart) based upon the best feedstock filament wire.

Published: April 2019

Cette recherche s’intéresse aux discriminations sur trois marchés qui ont encore été peu étudiés en France alors même que l’accès à ces marchés peut conditionner l’insertion professionnelle et sociale des personnes, en particulier des jeunes. Il s’agit de l’assurance automobile, des complémentaires-santé et du crédit à la consommation. Nous évaluons la discrimination sur ces marchés à raison de l’âge, du sexe, de l’origine et de la réputation du lieu de résidence, à l’aide d’opérations de testing. Nous avons utilisé six profils d’individus fictifs qui ont formulé des demandes de devis similaires auprès d’offreurs de crédits, d’assurances et de complémentaires santé. En mars 2016, nous avons tout d’abord testé 38 établissements d’assurance en leur adressant une demande de devis pour une assurance automobile à partir d’une simulation effectuée sur leur site Internet. Puis, entre avril et mai 2016, nous avons testé les 52 établissements qui permettaient d’adresser une demande de devis pour une complémentaire santé à partir d’une simulation effectuée sur leur site Internet. Enfin, en juin 2016, nous avons testé 20 établissements financiers en adressant six demandes de devis pour un crédit à la consommation en vue d’acheter une voiture d’occasion. Ces trois campagnes de testing mettent en évidence l’existence de discrimination liée à l’âge, au sexe, au lieu de résidence et à l’origine, à la fois dans l’accès aux services et dans la tarification appliquée par les offreurs.

Le nazisme, une communauté de la performance
Authors: Chapoutot Johann 
Published: April 2019

Le terme de performance est un enfant de l’âge industriel, celui de la physique, de la mécanique et de l’économie boursière. Exaltée avant 1914, la « Leistung » germanique semble prise en défaut par la défaite de 1918. Les nazis sont de ceux qui en font un impératif incoercible pour le peuple allemand – à la fois objectif de sa régénération biologique et condition nécessaire de son retour à la puissance d’être, sur le simple plan d’immanence de sa perpétuation biologique par la reproduction d’enfants et la production de nutriments propres à les nourrir.
George Andreani: Varsovia, Berlín, Praga, Buenos Aires
Authors: Glocer Silvia 
Published: April 2019

Este artículo relata la historia de vida y la trayectoria profesional de George Andreani, un
músico que recorrió gran cantidad de escenarios tanto en Europa como en Argentina, país
en el que vivió a partir de su exilio en tiempos del nazismo. Con datos tomados de archivos,
bibliotecas, hemerotecas y entrevistas que realicé a algunos familiares, pude reconstruir
esta historia. De esta manera intento corregir algunos datos publicados en anteriores
biografías, precisar con mayor claridad otros y aumentar los conocidos. Además planteo
una hipótesis que sostengo con algunos argumentos: es probable que Andreani haya sido el
que efectuó el arreglo de la marcha Los muchachos peronistas para la histórica grabación
de 1949. Incluye al final un catálogo con su prolífica obra.
La historia de la memoria del Holocausto en Argentina
Authors: Wechsler Wanda 
Published: April 2019

Las maneras de recordar el Holocausto en Argentina comenzaron de forma temprana durante la
década de 1940. Desde ese momento hasta el presente, fueron variando las formas de hacer memoria,
los usos y representaciones. La presente ponencia aborda los diversos momentos históricos en los
cuales se visibilizó la memoria del Holocausto para llegar al contexto de la conformación de un
museo dedicado al tema en los años noventa. Fue en esta última década del siglo XX el momento en
el cual esta memoria se hizo pública y se expandió formando parte del fenómeno denominado
“globalización del Holocausto”. Por último, se propone reflexionar sobre el presente y el rol de la
memoria en Argentina.
How to promote justice, greater safety and trust between hospitals and patients
Authors: Pegalis Steven E. , Dillon William P. , Reinhardt Nicole , Kumar Jessica , Pelo Daniel 
Published: April 2019

In a time when lack of trust has been cited as an increasing problem between patients and the organizations and physicians who care for them, what can hospitals and physicians do to deal with this problem that is not already being done? We discuss herein an actual obstetrical based legal case intended to be an illustrative example of medical-legal issues that could apply to any specialty. If hospitals and physicians will overtly promote safety by learning from errors and support justice for injured patients, the conveyance of these ethically motivated policies to the public can be a powerful message that hospitals and physicians are to be trusted.

It has been well proved that melatonin participates in the regulation of the seasonal reproduction of ewes. However, the effects of short term treatment of melatonin on ewe’s ovulation are still to be clarified. In this study, the effects of melatonin on the number of embryos harvested from superovulation, and the pregnant rate in recipients after embryo transferred have been investigated. Hu sheep with synchronous estrus treatment were given melatonin subcutaneously injection (0, 5, and 10 mg/ewe, respectively). It was found that the estrogen level in the group of 5 mg melatonin was significantly higher than that of other two groups at the time of sperm insemination (p < 0.05). The pregnant rate and number of lambs in the group of 5 mg melatonin treatment was also significantly higher than that of the rests of the groups (P < 0.05). In another study, 31 Suffolk ewes as donors and 103 small-tailed han sheep ewes as recipients were used to produce pronuclear embryo and embryo transfer. Melatonin (5 mg) was given to the donors during estrus. The results showed that, the number of pronuclear embryos and the pregnancy rate were also significantly higher in melatonin group than that in the control group. In addition, 28 donors and 44 recipient ewes were used to produce morula/blastocyst and embryo transferring. Melatonin (5 mg) was given during estrus. The total number of embryos harvested (7.40 ± 1.25/ewe vs. 3.96 ± 0.73/ewe, P < 0.05) and the pregnant rate (72.3 ± 4.6% vs. 54.7 ± 4.0%, P < 0.05) and number of lambs were also increased in melatonin group compared to the control group. Collectively, the results have suggested that melatonin treatment 36 hours after CIDR withdrawal could promote the number and quality of embryos in vivo condition and increased the pregnant rate and number of lambs.

Introduction: Comorbidities among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) increases with disease severity. This may be attributed to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) toxicity and HIV/AIDS-related infections.
Aim: We investigated the presence of comorbidities among PLWHA and reported their clinical and biochemical characteristics.
Methods: This study was conducted at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital (ENRH) in the South-Western part of Ghana. A retrospective data of 500 participants (134 males and 366 females) was collected from HIV/AIDS patients on HAART (January 2012 to January 2016). Sociodemographic characteristics and laboratory data of patients were retrieved from patients’ clinical files and laboratory database respectively. Data was analyzed with SPSS for both descriptive and inferential analysis.
Results: A total of 96 (19.2%) comorbidities were recorded (N=500). The most prevalent comorbidity was hepatitis B virus infection (34.4%). Among the 96 HIV/AIDS patients who had comorbidities, 27 (28.1%) were males and 69 (71.9%) were females. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) of the HIV/AIDS patients with comorbidities was similar to that of those without comorbidities (113.84 ± 16.73 vs 115.32 ± 15.68). Majority of the participants with comorbidities 59 (61.5%) and those without comorbidities 227 (56.2%) were found to be on the same therapy combination (TDF+3TC+EFV). The decreased CD4 cell count, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum potassium and creatinine were similar in the participants (those with comorbidities and those without comorbidities). None of the demographic, clinical and biochemical parameters were associated with the presence of comorbidities.
Conclusion: The total prevalence of commodities was 19.2% and the most prevalent commodity was HBV (34.4%). The comorbidities were common among females, the married and old people living with HIV/AIDS. Early and regular screening will be a key prevention and control strategy for the HIV/AIDS-associated commodities.

Published: April 2019

In spite of its industrial importance, Hugli is one of the leading potato producing districts of West Bengal with momentous productivity. But the productivity has shown considerable variation in its quantity, yield per unit of land and area under the crop over the last few decades. The present study strives to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics, emphasizing on trend, growth and variability as well as inter-Block variations in potato productivity of Hugli District from 1990-91 to 2013-14. The study was primarily based on the secondary data obtained from various sources. Time series analysis (3 year moving average curve), Coppock’s Instability Index and Sahu’s Simple Achieved Variation have been used to analyze the trend, instability and sustainability of the productivity, whereas, Crop Yield and Concentration Indices Ranking Coefficient is employed to identify productivity regions of potato. The result has revealed a unique oscillating nature in area, yield and output over the study period. The area and the output of the crop have been increased almost 51.70% [Exponential R2= 0.751] and 32.75% [Exponential R2= 0.381] respectively, whereas the yield rate has shown an insignificant positive trend of growth [Exponential R2= 0.014] during the same period. The Blocks have also revealed wide inter-disparity in productivity during the phase with considerable degree of instability and sustainability.

AbstractThis analytical method is a validated measurement procedure for the determination of citric acid [77‐92‐9] in workplace air in a concentration range of one tenth up to twice the currently valid OEL or MAK value of 2 mg/m3 E. Sampling is performed by drawing a defined volume of air through a glass fibre filter, which is inserted in a GSP sampling system. using a suitable flow‐regulated pump with a volumetric flow rate of 10 L/min or 3,5 L/min. For sampling 2 hours or 15 min (checking the short‐term value) can be used. The collected citric acid is extracted with diluted caustic soda and analysed by means of high performance liquid chromatography using an UV detector. The quantitative determination is based on a calibration function obtained by means of a multiple‐point calibration. The absolute limit of quantification (LOQ) is 12 ng and the relative LOQ is 0.005 mg/m3based on an air sample volume of approx. 1200 L (0.014 mg/m3based on air sample volume of 420 L) or 0.04 mg/m3based on an air sample volume of approx. 150 L (for short‐term value) (0.11 mg/m3based on air sample volume of 52.5 L). The mean recovery was 100% and the expanded uncertainty for the overall measurement method was 18%.
