description: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether preterm birth rates changed in relation to the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and whether any change depended on socioeconomic status. METHODS: This is an observational cohort study of pregnant individuals with a singleton gestation who delivered in the years 2019 and 2020 at 1 of 16 U.S. hospitals of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network. The frequency of preterm birth for those who delivered before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (ie, in 2019) was compared with that of those who delivered after its onset (ie, in 2020). Interaction analyses were performed for people of different individual- and community-level socioeconomic characteristics (ie, race and ethnicity, insurance status, Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) of a person's residence). RESULTS: During 2019 and 2020, 18,526 individuals met inclusion criteria. The chance of preterm birth before the COVID-19 pandemic was similar to that after the onset of the pandemic (11.7% vs 12.5%, adjusted relative risk 0.94, 95% CI 0.86–1.03). In interaction analyses, race and ethnicity, insurance status, and the SVI did not modify the association between the epoch and the chance of preterm birth before 37 weeks of gestation (all interaction P>.05). CONCLUSION: There was no statistically significant difference in preterm birth rates in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic onset. This lack of association was largely independent of socioeconomic indicators such as race and ethnicity, insurance status, or SVI of the residential community in which an individual lived.

David Bellos’ Indirect Translation of Ismail Kadare’s The File on H: A Contextual Analysis
Creators: name: Kadiu, Silvia
Publisher: name: Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
Year: 2016
Subjects: Indirect Translation; Literary Translation; English Translation; French Translation; Albanian Literature

description: This article is a linguistic study of David Bellos’ indirect translation of Ismail Kadare’s The File on H (1997), a novel first published in 1980-1981 in the Albanian literary review Nëntori, and translated into English on the basis of Jusuf Vrioni’s French version, Le Dossier H (1989). Also called “double”, “mediated” or “second-hand”, indirect translation is an understudied phenomenon, often criticised by scholars because of its greater distance to the original. Cay Dollerup (2000: 23), for example, argues that the grammatical structure of the mediating language (ML) obscures the distinctions made in the source language (SL), and that possible “mistakes” in the ML may be repeated in the target language (TL). Do fidelity and loyalty to the author become weakened in Bellos’ indirect translation? To what extent is such weakening discernible linguistically? And does this particular case of indirect translation reveal notable patterns or recurring types of linguistic shifts between ST and TT? Showing that some of the  features specific to Kadare’s Albanian writing are tempered in the doubly-translated English text, yet highlighting that similar shifts occur in the three language directions involved, this article demonstrates that changes between ST and TT may occur in indirect translation regardless of the strategies adopted by MT – thus challenging the hypothesis that linguistic shifts in indirect translation follow a single or consistent pattern.

description: The project aimed at extending the capabilities of an existing ow solver for Direct Numerical Simulation of turbulent ows. Starting from the scalability analysis of the MPI baseline code, the main goal of the project was to devise a MPI/OpenMP hybridization capable of exploiting the full potential of the current architectures provided in the PRACE framework. The project was very successful, the new hybrid version of the code outperformed the pure MPI version on IBM Blue Gene/Q architecture (FERMI).

description: Introduction

In stoma care, patient education is often weak in terms of improving patientsâ level of acceptance of living with a stoma. Self-care educational interventions in enterostomal patients, which according to Oremâs Theory should take into account these patientsâ specific needs, require instruments that measure patientsâ stoma acceptance to improve motivation based on the resumption of activities they used to carry out before having a stoma.Â

Â

Â

Methods

The aim was to develop an instrument that measures the level of stoma acceptance to improve motivation to adhere to enterostoma self-care.

Aspects that improve stoma acceptance and consequently motivation to adhere to enterostoma self-care were identified through 10 focus groups. In the focus groups, the motivation indicators were grouped, categorised and results entered into a Stoma Acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ). The SAQ was then piloted with 104 enterostomal patients from three general hospitals. The SAQ latent structure was explored using nonparametric item response theory.

Â

Results

A three-factor structure was demonstrated for the 16 items of the SAQ: Autonomy and normality; Self-determination and normality; and Trust and burden. Mokken Scaling identified the âresumption of enterostomal patientsâ normal activitiesâ as a measure of stoma acceptance.Â

Â

Discussion

The SAQ could enable nurses to adopt a standardized approach to the assessment of enterostomal patientsâ motivation to resume their normal activities and identify needs linked to this. The SAQ could also be used to measure the effectiveness of psychosocial and educational interventions aimed at improving stoma acceptance.

description: Technological developments, such as the internet and wearable technology, generate vast amounts of data about individuals. Where previously data would be collected only to answer specific questions, data can now be collected and stored for potential use in the future, without the need to know what it will be used for. Thanks to data centres and cloud storage the problem of storing these data sets, no matter how large, is now a problem of cost rather than feasibility. As well as data on individuals, data is being collected about the earth; temperature, emissions, population and countless other measures are recorded throughout the day.
This project focuses on data collected by the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, and specifically global methane emissions. Currently, there is a retrieval algorithm in place to calculate the methane concentration from the satellite recordings. The primary result of this thesis, presented in chapter 5.2, is the training of a neural network which replicates the task of methane retrieval using the results from this algorithm as ground truth. The main advantage of this method over the retrieval algorithm is speed, the network is considerably faster and still falls within an acceptable level of accuracy.
The final result presented in this work is error correction. In order to improve some of the worse performing areas of the neural network that was trained, a small sample was error corrected. The system trained and designed improves the overall results of the network and could be expanded to further reduce errors.
Knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices of Occupational Physicians towards influenza vaccination: a cross-sectional study from North-Eastern Italy
Creators: name: RICCO', Matteo
Publisher: name: Department of Health Science - University of Genoa
Year: 2017
Subjects: healthcare workers, influenza vaccine, occupational physicians

description: Introduction. The present study aims to characterize personal attitudes and knowledge of a sample of Italian Occupational Physicians (OPh) towards influenza vaccine in healthcare workers (HCWs).
Methods. In total, 92 OPh (42.4% males, 57.6% females, mean age of 47.3Â±10.4 years, 50 specialists in Occupational Medicine, 42 specialists in Hygiene and Public Health) were asked about their attitudes towards influenza vaccine, their general knowledge of vaccine practice, their propensity towards vaccines. Eventually, their risk perception about the influenza and influenza vaccine was investigated. A regression analysis was then performed in order to better characterise predictive factors for vaccine propensity.
Results. Â Influenza was recognized as a vaccination recommended for HCWs in 89/92 of the sampled OPh (96.7%). However, prevalence of misconceptions about vaccines was relatively high, with 26/92 (28.3%) and 24/92 (26.1%) referring vaccinations as eliciting allergic and autoimmune diseases, respectively and identifying lethargic encephalitis (18/92, 19.6%), autism (17/92, 18.5%), diabetes mellitus (15/92, 16.3%) and multiple sclerosis (13/92, 14.1%) as causatively vaccine-related. Vaccine propensity was significantly correlated with general knowledge and risk perception (r=0.492, p <0.001 and r=0.280, p=0.007). Regression analysis, controlled for age, sex, professional qualification, confirmed both factors as predictive towards influenza vaccine propensity.
Discussion. Incomplete knowledge of evidence-based recommendations for influenza vaccinations and resulting low vaccination rates in HCWs may found their roots in the attitudes of OPh, the latter significantly influenced by an unsatisfying knowledge of vaccine pros and cons.

description: INTRODUCTION

Allocate fixed resources among competing users is a challenge in terms of management to obtain the best performance in respect of strategic objectives. To address this need, it was designed a system of evaluation in an important research and teaching hospital.

This document describes the evaluation system explaining the principles of the system and the developed application methodology.

METHODS

The indicator system allows the strategic management to rapidly detect the priorities in the evaluations of the Strategic, Organizational, Managerial, Economic, Research and Qualitative conditions of each unit.

The chosen indicators are expressed with three numerical values, (1 indicating critical status, 2 acceptable conditions and 3 a good operational situation).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The thematic area are: Strategic, Organizational, Managerial, Economic, Research and Qualitative. In order to define each area, 3 fields of evaluation have been chosen. The indicators have been structured according to a pyramid system allowing to create a single indicator for each area for each unit. Furthermore, a single indicator has been fixed in order to facilitate a first consideration on whether to carry out or not closer examinations of the most critical units.

This paper describes an attempt to define objective criteria for the allocation of scarce resources in order to achieve the hospitalâs strategic objectives. The indicators identified allow to obtain an overall score for each unit, which allows the management to prioritize the needs.

description: Introduction: Contamination of hospital surfaces plays an important role in the transmission of several healthcare-associated microorganisms, so methods for evaluating hospital surfacesâ cleaning gain importance. Among these there are visual inspection, quantitative microbiology, fluorescent markers and ATP bioluminescence. The latter seems to provide interesting perspectives, detecting the presence of ATP on surface (as Relative Light Units, RLU), a proxy of organic matter and microbial contamination. Several studies have investigated the effectiveness of this technology; with this research we aim to summarize the most significant results.

Methods: A literature review was conducted. The keywords: âATPâ, âBioluminescenceâ, âHospitalâ and âSurfacesâ were searched in Pubmed and Scopus databases to find relevant data from 2000 to October 2014. After the selection, we globally considered 27 articles.

Results: Most of the studies were conducted in United Kingdom and in USA. Different threshold RLU benchmark values were identified by analyzed studies. Fourteen of these researches compared the ATP bioluminescence with microbiological methods, 11 identified a significant correlation between the two methods, although poor or not complete for 5.

Discussion: ATP bioluminescence is not a standardized methodology: each tool has different benchmark values, not always defined. At the moment we can say that the technique could be used to assess, in real time, hospital surfaces where cleanliness is required, but not sterility.

description: Introduction

The Working Group for Hygiene of Built Environment and the National Council of Residents of the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health conducted a nation-wide survey to evaluate the knowledge and training needs on built environment and indoor health of Italian public health residents.

Results

The compliance was very high (52,4%) covering all the Italian postgraduate schools. The results underline important lacks of theoretical formation and practical training, but also a certain inhomogeneity across the country and show a strong interest of residents on this topic.

Conclusions

The authors propose the adoption a national core curriculum and suggest some strategies to improve learning.

description: In last years, Campylobacter spp has become one of the most important foodborne pathogens even in high-income countries. Particularly, in Europe, Campylobacteriosis is, since 2005, the foodborne disease most frequently notified and the second in USA, preceded by the infection due to Salmonella spp. Campylobacter spp is a commensal microorganism of the gastrointestinal tract of many wild animals (birds such as ducks and gulls), farm animals (cattle and pigs) and companion animals (such as dogs and cats) and it is responsible for zoonoses. The transmission occurs via the fecal-oral route through ingestion of contaminated food and water. The disease varied from a watery diarrhea to a severe inflammatory diarrhea with abdominal pain and fever and can be burdened by some complications. The main recognized sequelae are Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), the Reactive Arthritis (REA) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Recently, many cases of Campylobacter spp isolated from human infections, showed an important resistance to various antibiotics such as tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. For these reasons, the prevention of this infection plays an essential role. Many preventive measures exist to limit the transmission of the pathogens and the subsequent disease such as the health surveillance, the vaccination of the poultry and the correct food hygiene throughout the entire production chain. A global surveillance of Campylobacteriosis is desirable and should include data from all countries, including notifications of cases and the microbiological data typing of strains isolated from both human and animal cases.

description: Infective Endocarditis (IE) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Nowadays, in addition to classic pathogens were isolated exigent Gram negative bacteria as A. baumannii, A. lwoffii, C. burnetii, Bartonella, Chlamydia and Legionella.

We present our experience of Legionella isolations in environmental sample (water and air) collected from the Cardiology units belonging a two hospitals in Messina (Italy). Sample size  has been established in function of hospital beds. A total of 80 samples were carried out. 30 and 50, respectively in the first and in the second structure: 55 of water and 25 of aerosol.

The positivity of 30% of the water samples analyzed  and 15% of those aerosol strengthens the conviction of the need for greater environmental monitoring, especially in the wards at high risk.

Subjects: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ESBL, blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M

description: Background. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is as an important opportunistic human pathogen, whichÂ  is associated with several clinical infections that are usually difficult to treat because of resistance to multiple antimicrobials. The production of extended-spectrum Ã-lactamases (ESBLs) is an important mechanism of Ã-lactam resistance. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of ESBLs, antimicroboial susceptibility, and to detect the blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M genes.

Methods. In this study, during March 2013Â  to December 2014, 266 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from patients admitted to educational hospitals of Qazvin and Tehran, Iran. All isolates were initially screened for ESBL production by disk diffusion method and were further confirmed using a combined disk method. Antimicrobial susceptibility of ESBL-producing isolates was determined by standard disk diffusion method. PCR and sequencing techniques were employed for detection of blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M genes.Â

Results. Â In total, 262 (98.5%) P. aeruginosa isolates were non-susceptible to the used extended spectrum cephalosporins, among those 75(28.6%)Â  isolates were ESBL producers. Fifty nine (78.7%) of ESBL-producing isolates showed multidrug resistance pattern. Of 75 ESBL-positive isolates, the blaTEM-1 (26.7%) was the most common gene, followed by blaCTX-M-15 (17.3%), blaSHV-1 (6.7%), and blaSHV-12 (4%) either alone or in combination.

Conclusions. The results of this study showed the notable prevalence of ESBLs among the clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Iran, indicating the urgency for
 implementation of appropriate follow-up measures for infection control and proper administration of antimicrobial agents in our medical settings.

Exploring the patient safety culture in preventive medicine settings: an experience from Northern Italy
Creators: name: TEREANU, CARMEN
Publisher: name: Department of Health Science - University of Genoa
Year: 2017
Subjects: patient safety; staff culture; territorial preventive care; Italy

description: Introduction

Patient safety and quality in healthcare are inseparable. Examining patient safety culture in staff members contributes to further develop quality in healthcare. In Italy there has been some experience involving hospital staff. In this study we explored the safety culture in public health staff working in the Italian Local Health Authorities.

Methods

We carried out a descriptive cross sectional study in four Italian territorial Prevention facilities in Northern Italy. We administrated via web an adapted Italian version of the US Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture to all the staff. The survey consisted of 10 dimensions based on 33 items, according to results of previous psychometric validation.

Results

Seventy% of the staff responded to the survey (n. 479). Overall, six out of the 10 dimensions exhibited composites scores of positive responses frequency for patient safety culture below 50%. While communication openness (65%) was the most developed factor, team work across Units (37%) was the poorest one. The highest composites scores were obtained by the Management and the Public Health Laboratory, across the work areas, and by the Physicians, across the professional categories. The patient safety culture in the staff participating in this study was poorer than in hospital staff.

Discussion
Our descriptive cross sectional study has been the first one to be carried out in preventive medicine settings in Italy. It has clearly indicated the need of improvement. Consequently, several interventions with this aim have been implemented.
