Social Network Analysis for WhatsApp Group M & E
Creators: name: Grant, Eli
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2019

description: WhatsApp group functionality offers a new way for mhealth and other digital health interventions to leverage social influence and other peer effects in order to support healthworkers and patients cost-efficiently and at scale. Group dynamics are, however, complex. Ensuring that peer-to-peer interactions are safe, preventing bullying or the dissemination of incorrect health (and other) information and ensuring positive group norms are challenges all group-based interventions face. When groups are delivered to tens or hundreds of thousands of participants, their facilitation, safety and implementation monitoring require automation. This presentation sets out a framework developed by the Patient Engagement Lab for how such an automated system could be implemented, combining natural language processing (NLP) and social network analysis (SNA) with supporting WhatsApp delivery tools.

This presentation explains the work the Patient Engagement Lab has done to develop WhatsApp group functionality for at-scale platforms and how SNA and NLP can be combined to support its implementation. The first half of the presentation offers a brief introduction to SNA and network-based intervention design, outlines key network-based or socially-driven behaviour change mechanisms and then explains how SNA can be used to design, monitor and evaluate (M&E) of group-based interventions. The second half of the presentation describes the WhatsApp group functionality tools the Patient Engagement Lab are working on, some of the challenges encountered in real-world applications and how these might be overcome in future.
Application of regime-switching and structural break models in financial economics
Creators: name: Zhang, Chengping
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Foreign exchange rates -- Mathematical models

description: This dissertation consists of two manuscripts. In the first manuscript, we use multivariate regime-switching models to investigate the portfolio performance benefits associated with the addition of emerging market and developed market mutual funds to a global investor. Our approach admits time-varying risk and returns in a regime-switching model with both global equity market and foreign exchange risk factors. Conditional performance, as measured by a state dependent Jensen s alpha, varies by economic regimes. Emerging market mutual funds provide strongly positive and significant state dependent alphas when the idiosyncratic volatility of emerging markets is small. Ignoring the existence of regimes could potentially misspecify mutual fund performance in some economic states, if a regime-switching model characterizes the economic context. We also find that foreign exchange risk is not only priced, but priced differently across economic regimes. Our findings are robust to fixed or time-varying transition probability models, and to our use of either a one-factor market risk model, or a two-factor model with both market and foreign exchange risk factors. In the second manuscript, we find that global equity markets exhibit two structural changes over the previous two decades using a multivariate structural break model. The estimated structural breaks are comparable across multiple models. We find that emerging markets provide significant alphas to a well diversified global investor in US and developed markets during the first and third periods typically, pre-1997 and post-2003 (or post-2006 in our smallest model). The performance benefit is largely due to the behavior of Latin American emerging market investments. We also present spanning tests that demonstrate that emerging markets are not spanned by the MSCI US market, MSCI non-US developed market index, and the US small, big, high value and growth portfolios. Our results are helpful in describing the variance in results across numerous studies of emerging market portfolio performance using different sample periods and countries. Our evidence suggests that emerging market equity investments, and especially Latin American investments, lead to positive Jensen s alphas and spanning rejections in the sample periods from January 1988 through March 1997, and from April 2003 through January 2010.

description: Semigroups, generated by Feller processes killed upon leaving a given domain, are considered. These semigroups correspond to Cauchy-Dirichlet type initial-exterior value problems in this domain for a class of evolution equations with (possibly non-local) operators. The considered semigroups are approximated by means of the Chernoff theorem. For a class of killed Feller processes, the constructed Chernoff approximation converts into a Feynman formula, i.e. into a limit of $n$-fold iterated integrals of certain functions as $n\to\infty$. Representations of solutions of evolution equations by Feynman formulae can be used for direct calculations and simulation of underlying stochasstic processes. Further, a method to approximate solutions of time-fractional (including distributed order time-fractional) evolution equations is suggested. This method is based on connections between time-fractional and time-non-fractional evolution equations as well as on Chernoff approximations for the latter ones. Moreover, this method leads to Feynman formulae for solutions of time-fractional evolution equations. To illustrate the method, a class of distributed order time-fractional diffusion equations is considered; Feynman formulae for solutions of the corresponding Cauchy and Cauchy-Dirichlet problems are obtained.

Abstract
Decitabine (Dacogen), a deoxynucleoside analogue of cytidine that selectively inhibits DNA methyltransferases, provides beneficial effects in adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) not eligible for standard induction chemotherapy. In DACO- 016, the registrational phase 3 clinical trial in this patient population, intravenous decitabine provided a clinically meaningful improvement in median overall survival (OS) relative to treatment choice (cytarabine or best supportive care) of 2 months (7.7 vs 5.0 months), as well as signifi- cant improvements in other efficacy outcomes. After a further year of follow-up, the difference in OS between treatment groups significantly favoured decitabine over treatment choice. Decitabine was generally well tolerated with a similar safety profile to that of low-dose cytarabine and low rates of early mortality. Consistent with the clinical presentation of AML, the most frequently observed adverse events were related to myelosuppression. Realworld studies support the effectiveness and tolerability profiles of decitabine in this indication. Access to the full article can be found here.

Approximate Actions for Lattice QCD Simulation

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a systematic approach to generating approximate actions for the lattice simulation of QCD. Three different tuning conditions are defined to match approximate with true actions, and it is shown that these three conditions become equivalent when the approximate and true actions are sufficiently close. We present a detailed study of approximate actions in the lattice Schwinger model together with an exploratory study of full QCD at unphysical parameter values. We find that the technicalities of the approximate action approach work quite well. However, very delicate tuning is necessary to find an approximate action which gives good predictions for all physical observables. Our best view of the immediate applicability of the methods we describe is to allow high statistics studies of particular physical observables after a low statistics full fermion simulation has been used to prepare the stage.

description: As a result of strong collaboration between CESSDA and the DDI Alliance, the CESSDA Vocabulary Service (CVS) was launched this year. The CVS allows searching, browsing and downloading controlled vocabularies in a variety of languages. The CVS is a useful and timely resource that promotes international standardisation by providing a source of controlled vocabularies to suit varied metadata systems. This presentation demonstrates how users can browse, create, edit and translate controlled vocabularies in the CVS. In addition, we will discuss how the tool manages user access, version control and enables the management of organisation-specific vocabularies as well.
Conspecific brood parasitism in ruddy ducks (Oxyura jamaicensis)
Creators: name: Reichart, Letitia Marie
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Ruddy duck -- Behavior

description: Conspecific brood parasitism (CBP) is a reproductive strategy in which females lay eggs in the nests of other conspecific females. This behavior occurs in many species of birds, fishes, amphibians, and insects. CBP is intriguing because females laying eggs parasitically do not incur the costs associated with parental care; instead hosts (recipients of parasitic eggs) incur the costs of raising these parasitic offspring. The factors that influence females to lay eggs parasitically are unclear, and few studies have examined the role of maternal effects in CBP (parasitic eggs may contain substances increasing offspring survival). Here I investigate CBP in ruddy ducks (Oxyura jamaicensis), an over-water nesting species, where females lay large expensive eggs to produce highly precocial offspring (requiring minimal parental care). First I identify parasitic offspring and the females that produce them using a combination of two molecular techniques egg albumin protein fingerprinting (a maternal marker) and a large number of nuclear microsatellite loci. CBP was common in ruddy ducks (64% of nests contain parasitic offspring) and females used a mixed reproductive strategy (laying eggs parasitically in addition to nesting). Next, I investigate whether kin selection might play a role in the evolution of CBP in ruddy ducks, given hosts and parasites may be genetic relatives (via high female natal philopatry). I use molecular markers to estimate relatedness among all females and then specifically between hosts and parasites. I found that female ruddy ducks showed no relatedness structure (neighbors were unrelated). Relatedness among host-parasite pairs was relatively low and not significantly different than background levels of relatedness in the population, thus kin selection is not a likely explanation for the evolution of CBP in ruddy ducks. Third, I investigate possible parasite adaptations (via maternal effects), realized through egg characteristics. Steroid hormone content and egg size between parasitic and non-parasitic eggs did not differ; however, parasitic eggs were more likely to be male. Finally, I discuss broad conclusions for the patterns of CBP in ruddy ducks with respect to other systems. In addition I suggest possible questions for further investigation of CBP as reproductive strategy in populations.

description: Water at negative pressures can remain in a metastable state for a surprisingly long time before it reaches equilibrium by cavitation, i.e., by the formation of vapor bubbles. The wide spread of experimentally measured cavitation pressures depending on water purity, surface contact angle, and surface quality implicates the relevance of water cavitation in bulk, at surfaces, and at surface defects for different systems. We formulate a kinetic model that includes all three different cavitation pathways and determine the nucleation attempt frequencies in bulk, at surfaces, and at defects from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Our model reveals that cavitation occurs in pure bulk water only for defect-free hydrophilic surfaces with wetting contact angles below 50° to 60° and at pressures of the order of −100 MPa, depending only slightly on system size and observation time. Cavitation on defect-free surfaces occurs only for higher contact angles, with the typical cavitation pressure rising to about −30 MPa for very hydrophobic surfaces. Nanoscopic hydrophobic surface defects act as very efficient cavitation nuclei and can dominate the cavitation kinetics in a macroscopic system. In fact, a nanoscopic defect that hosts a preexisting vapor bubble can raise the critical cavitation pressure much further. Our results explain the wide variation of experimentally observed cavitation pressures in synthetic and biological systems and highlight the importance of surface and defect mechanisms for the nucleation of metastable systems.

description: In der heutigen Zeit geraten die Sozialhilfeorgane und die Sozialdienste immer stärker unter Druck. Bedingt durch steigende Fallzahlen, zunehmende Komplexität der Fälle und erhöhten Legitimationsdruck haben die Anforderungen und die Herausforderungen für die Sozialarbeitenden zugenommen. Die strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen des Sozialhilfekontexts erschweren ihre Arbeit zusätzlich. Diese Umstände sind für Sozialarbeitende belastend und das Risiko eines Burnouts ist gegeben. Es stellt sich unter diesen erschwerten Bedingungen die Frage, ob es den Sozialarbeitenden dennoch gelingt, im Zwangskontext der Sozialhilfe eine tragfähige Beziehung zu ihrer Klientel aufzubauen, damit sie ihren gesetzlichen Auftrag befriedigender erfüllen können. Für eine konstruktive Zusammenarbeit sind die Sozialarbeitenden auf die Kooperation der Klientel angewiesen. Der Beziehungsgestaltung kommt daher zentrale Bedeutung zu. Vertrauen wird dabei als grundlegende Voraussetzung und zentrales Kennzeichen der Beziehungsgestaltung angesehen. Zu Beginn des Hilfeprozesses haben Sozialarbeitende in Erstgesprächen die Situation der Klientel abzuklären. Für ein präzises Bild sind sie auf persönliche Informationen der Klientel angewiesen, was Vertrauen erfordert. Daher ist es nötig, Vertrauen bereits von Beginn an herzustellen. Anhand des Drei-Phasen-Modells nach Franz Petermann hat die Autorin festgestellt, dass die Kombination aus klientenzentrierter Gesprächsführung, motivorientierter Beziehungsgestaltung und vermehrter Beachtung der nonverbalen Kommunikation elementar zum Vertrauensaufbau beiträgt. Die Autorin hat gestützt auf ihre Ergebnisse eine Checkliste als Reflexionsgrundlage für die Vertrauensbildung in Erstgesprächen entwickelt.

Abstract
Intravenous (IV) minocycline (Minocin®) is approved in the USA for use in patients with infections due to susceptible strains of many bacteria (e.g. Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including infections due to Acinetobacter spp.). Minocycline shows antibacterial activity against A. baumannii clinical isolates worldwide, and exhibits synergistic bactericidal activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) A. baumanniiisolates when combined with other antibacterial agents. In retrospective studies, IV minocycline provided high rates of clinical success or improvement, and was generally well tolerated among patients with MDR or carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii infections.

description: Porcine endogenous retrovirus C (PERV-C) is a gammaretrovirus present in the genome of many, but not all, pigs. It is an ecotropic virus, able to infect only pig cells. In contrast, PERV-A and PERV-B, which are present in all pigs, can infect cells of multiple host species, including humans, thereby posing a risk for xenotransplantation when pigs are used as donor animals. Notably, PERV-C can recombine with PERV-A to produce PERV-A/C recombinants that can infect human cells and replicate to higher titers compared to the paternal PERV-A. The objective of this study is to evaluate the reliability of both existing and newly developed polymerase chain reactions (PCR) methods for detecting PERV-C, with the aim of selecting PERV-C-free pigs to be used for xenotransplantation. To detect PERV-C by PCR, specific primers targeting the region of the envelope protein gene, which differs from that of PERV-A and PERV-B due to its unique receptor binding site, must be employed. In this study, new PCR assays were developed to detect PERV-C and a total of ten PCR assays and one real-time PCR assay were evaluated for their reliability in detecting PERV-C. These assays were used to screen indigenous Greek black pigs, Auckland Island pigs, and German slaughterhouse pigs. Two of the PCR assays consistently yielded reliable results, whereas the other PCRs and the real-time PCR gave false positive results. Using the reliable assays, it was shown that one out of four indigenous Greek black pigs (using the same method in a previous publication 11 of 21 pigs were found PERV-C-negative), one out of ten German slaughterhouse pigs, the pig kidney cell line PK15, and all the Auckland Island pigs were PERV-C-negative. The reliable PCR assays will enable the screening of PERV-C-negative donor pigs to be used in xenotransplantation. Most importantly, all the Auckland Island pigs that were genetically modified in Germany for use in clinical trials were PERV-C-negative.

description: We consider non-demographic noise in the form of uncertainty in the reaction step size, and reveal a dramatic effect this noise may have on the stability of self-regulating populations. Employing the reaction scheme mA->kA, but allowing, e.g., the product number k to be a-priori unknown and sampled from a given distribution, we show that such non-demographic noise can greatly reduce the population's extinction risk compared to the fixed k case. Our analysis is tested against numerical simulations, and by using empirical data of different species, we argue that certain distributions may be more evolutionary beneficial than others.

We explore the location of this layer as well as the heating rate that could explain high observable thermal luminosities of magnetars and would be consistent with the energy budget of neutron stars. We conclude that the heat source should be located in an outer magnetar's crust, at densities rho < 5e11 g/cm^3, and should have the heat intensity of the order of 1e20 erg/s/cm^3. Otherwise the heat energy is mainly emitted by neutrinos and cannot warm up the surface.

We prove that the linearized problem is exactly controllable in any time $T>0$. Our approach is essentially based on a detailed spectral analysis together with the moment method. Furthermore, we establish the local exact controllability for the nonlinear problem by fixed point argument.

description: In quantum Shannon theory, the way information is encoded and decoded takes advantage of the laws of quantum mechanics, while the way communication channels are interlinked is assumed to be classical. In this Letter we relax the assumption that quantum channels are combined classically, showing that a quantum communication network where quantum channels are combined in a superposition of different orders can achieve tasks that are impossible in conventional quantum Shannon theory. In particular, we show that two identical copies of a completely depolarizing channel become able to transmit information when they are combined in a quantum superposition of two alternative orders. This finding runs counter to the intuition that if two communication channels are identical, using them in different orders should not make any difference. The failure of such intuition stems from the fact that a single noisy channel can be a random mixture of elementary, non-commuting processes, whose order (or lack thereof) can affect the ability to transmit information.

description: Background/Objectives: Pasteurella multocida commonly colonizes the bovine respiratory tract and can occasionally cause intramammary infections. Here, eight P. multocida isolates from clinical cases of bovine mastitis were investigated for their molecular characteristics as well as phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) properties. Methods: The isolates originated from quarter milk samples obtained in Germany for diagnostic purposes. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) by broth microdilution was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Closed whole-genome sequences were generated by hybrid assembly of Illumina MiSeq short-reads and Oxford Nanopore MinION long-reads, followed by consecutive sequence analysis. Results: The P. multocida isolates belonged either to capsular:lipopolysaccharide type A:3 (n = 7) or A:6 (n = 1), and multi-locus sequence types 1 (n = 7) or 7 (n = 1). Seven isolates carried AMR genes, such as mef(C), mph(G), strA, strB, aphA1, aadA31, tet(H), tet(Y), floR, catA3, and sul2, as part of an integrative and conjugative element (ICE). These mobile genetic elements, 58,382–78,401 bp in size, were highly similar to the ICEs Tn7406 or Tn7407 that have been previously described in bovine Mannheimia haemolytica and P. multocida, respectively. Moreover, the isolates showed elevated minimal inhibitory concentrations corresponding to the identified AMR determinants. Conclusions: Molecular typing and ICE organization suggest the bovine respiratory tract as reservoir of the investigated mastitis-associated P. multocida. Horizontal cross-genus transfer of multidrug-resistance-mediating ICEs seems to occur under in vivo conditions among different pathogens from cattle in Germany, which underlines the importance of pathogen identification followed by AST for successful bovine mastitis therapy.

description: Background: Marek’s disease (MD) is a pathology affecting chickens caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV), an acute transforming alphaherpesvirus of the genus Mardivirus. MD is characterized by paralysis, immune suppression, and the rapid formation of T-cell (primarily CD4+) lymphomas. Over the last 50 years, losses due to MDV infection have been controlled worldwide through vaccination; however, these live-attenuated vaccines are non-sterilizing and potentially contributed to the virulence evolution of MDV field strains. Mutations common to field strains that can overcome vaccine protection were identified in the C-terminal proline-rich repeats of the oncoprotein Meq (Marek’s EcoRI-Q-encoded protein). These mutations in meq have been found to be distinct to their region of origin, with high virulence strains obtained in Europe differing from those having evolved in the US. The present work reports on meq mutations identified in MDV field strains in Nigeria, arising at farms employing different vaccination practices. Materials and Methods: DNA was isolated from FTA cards obtained at 12 farms affected by increased MD in the Plateau State, Nigeria. These sequences included partial whole genomes as well as targeted sequences of the meq oncogenes from these strains. Several of the meq genes were cloned for expression and their localization ability to interact with the chicken NF-IL3 protein, a putative Meq dimerization partner, were assessed. Results: Sequence analysis of the meq genes from these Nigerian field strains revealed an RB1B-like lineage co-circulating with a European Polen5-like lineage, as well as recombinants harboring a combination of these mutations. In a number of these isolates, Meq mutations accumulated in both N-terminal and C-terminal domains. Discussion: Our data, suggest a direct effect of the vaccine strategy on the selection of Meq mutations. Moreover, we posit the evolution of the next higher level of virulence MDVs, a very virulent plus plus pathotype (vv++).

description: A class of braneworld models can lead to phantom-like acceleration of the late universe, but without the need for any phantom matter. In the simplest models, the universe contains only cold dark matter and a cosmological constant. We generalize these models by introducing a quintessence field. The new feature in our models is that quintessence leads to a crossing of the phantom divide, $w=-1$. This is a purely gravitational effect, and there is no phantom instability. Furthermore, the Hubble parameter is always decreasing, and there is no big rip singularity in the future.

description: The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine cognitive and organizational factors affecting faculty service to student affairs. In recent years, the accountability movement has called for greater out of class faculty student contact, some of which could be in the form of service. Examples of faculty involvement in student affairs service include: participating in student conduct boards; residence life programs; or, oversight activities sponsored by a registrar's office. Significant descriptive and theoretical focus has been given to faculty service during the past two decades. Yet, the literature fails to define service consistently so that research findings vary. While there is extant empirical work that focuses on a wide range of faculty work issues there is little emphasis on service and service in the student affairs realm in practice. The goal of this study is to explore how faculty opperationalize and conceptualize service at three comprehensive research universities. The study uses findings from interviews, document analysis, and observation to gain a better understanding of the campus environment and individual faculty member's conception of the service role. Three campuses and 18 faculty members are included in this study. The findings include an overview and analysis of faculty service roles in student affairs at each university case as well as a cross-case analysis and synthesis. The findings suggest that faculty ability and motivation to engage in service to student affairs is contingent on campus environmental factors related to institutional culture. Further, faculty hold integrated or compartmentalized views of their work roles that affect service participation. This study draws on cultural perspectives to explain that organizational attributes detracts from or supports service. The study concludes with a discussion of recommendations for policy, practice, and further research.

description: We present \ci\,(2--1) and multi-transition $^{12}$CO observations of a dusty star-forming galaxy, ACT\,J2029+0120, which we spectroscopically confirm to lie at $z$\,=\,2.64. We detect CO(3--2), CO(5--4), CO(7--6), CO(8--7), and \ci\,(2--1) at high significance, tentatively detect HCO$^{+}$(4--3), and place strong upper limits on the integrated strength of dense gas tracers (HCN(4--3) and CS(7--6)). Multi-transition CO observations and dense gas tracers can provide valuable constraints on the molecular gas content and excitation conditions in high-redshift galaxies. We therefore use this unique data set to construct a CO spectral line energy distribution (SLED) of the source, which is most consistent with that of a ULIRG/Seyfert or QSO host object in the taxonomy of the \textit{Herschel} Comprehensive ULIRG Emission Survey. We employ RADEX models to fit the peak of the CO SLED, inferring a temperature of T$\sim$117 K and $n_{\text{H}_2}\sim10^5$ cm$^{-3}$, most consistent with a ULIRG/QSO object and the presence of high density tracers. We also find that the velocity width of the \ci\ line is potentially larger than seen in all CO transitions for this object, and that the $L'_{\rm C\,I(2-1)}/L'_{\rm CO(3-2)}$ ratio is also larger than seen in other lensed and unlensed submillimeter galaxies and QSO hosts; if confirmed, this anomaly could be an effect of differential lensing of a shocked molecular outflow.

The governance of local productive Sytems: Coordination problems regarding pyrotechnic production in Tultepec, Mexico

Subjects: subject: 160401 Economic Geography

description: This paper examines the governance of local productive systems by articulating two fundamental concepts from geographical institutionalism: path dependency and contingency. We identify internal and external contingencies that have significantly impacted the development trajectory of pyrotechnic production in Tultepec, Mexico, giving rise togovernance dynamics characterised by a lack of co-ordination among local producer associations. Consequently, the main local institutional arrangements are controlled by particular interest groups. This limits the participation of local actors in defining national regulations relating to pyrotechnic production, resulting in a vertical/centralised law mainly defined by the state. We argue that improving the governance of the pyrotechnic productive system in Tultepec requires the co-ordination of private and public actors at different territorial scales, in order to build up an inclusive regulatory framework which can take into considerationthe diversity of local producers.

description: The evolution of the linear and scale independent bias, based on the most popular dark matter bias models within the $Λ$CDM cosmology, is confronted to that of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). Applying a $χ^2$ minimization procedure between models and data we find that all the considered linear bias models reproduce well the LRG bias data. The differences among the bias models are absorbed in the predicted mass of the dark-matter halo in which LRGs live and which ranges between $\sim 6 \times 10^{12} h^{-1} M_{\odot}$ and $1.4 \times 10^{13} h^{-1} M_{\odot}$, for the different bias models. Similar results, reaching however a maximum value of $\sim 2\times 10^{13} h^{-1} M_{\odot}$, are found by confronting the SDSS (2SLAQ) Large Red Galaxies clustering with theoretical clustering models, which also include the evolution of bias. This later analysis also provides a value of $Ω_{m}=0.30\pm 0.01$, which is in excellent agreement with recent joint analyses of different cosmological probes and the reanalysis of the Planck data.

description: Die Empfehlungen zur Impfung gegen Masern, Mumps und Röteln aufgrund einer beruflichen Tätigkeit werden in einer Empfehlung zur beruflich indizierten Impfung zusammengefasst und in Bezug auf Indikationsgruppen unter Berücksichtigung der vorliegenden Evidenz angeglichen. Bei der beruflichen Varizellen-Impfempfehlung gleicht die STIKO die Tätigkeitsbereiche für die Indikation zur 2-maligen Varizellen-Impfung von seronegativen Personen denen der beruflichen MMR-Impfempfehlung an. Ein verbesserter Impfschutz unterstützt die Ziele der Impfempfehlungen der STIKO, das Auftreten impfpräventabler Erkrankungen, insbesondere auch das Auftreten von Fällen mit Komplikationen zu senken und kann zudem eine hilfreiche Maßnahme darstellen, die Elimination der Masern in Deutschland zu erreichen.
