Full textAbstract:
Twenty-three Salmonella enterica serovar Weltevreden (S. Weltevreden) illnesses occurred in a Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, restaurant following consumption of fermented vegan cheese. Three clusters of illness over 2 days were traced to a single batch of fermented cashew cheese spread. S. Weltevreden was detected in 11 clinical samples and in the cashew cheese spread. An inspection of the restaurant and review of the food processes revealed high-risk practices, such as use of rejuvelac as a starter culture for fermentation and poor temperature control. Three of five vegan and natural food restaurants in the Victoria area were using similar methods, indicating this type of product was common. Procedures to safely ferment vegan cheese spreads are presented. We also discuss higher-risk food items and practises noted in this event that inspectors should be aware of during inspections.

Stigmatization of people with mental diseases is widespread in our society, despite awareness of its negative consequences. The goal of this study was to look into the stigma toward people with mental illnesses among university students in Kyrgyzstan and Slovakia. We distributed a survey online to students to explore prejudice in many facets of life. It was clear from the results, that there is a spread tendency to stigmatize and discriminate against people with mental illness in Kyrgyzstan compared to Slovakia. People with mental illness are considered dangerous and aggressive, increasing social distance. The role of religious, supernatural, and magical approaches to mental illness is predominating.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAssessing severity and spread of a novel influenza strain at the start of a pandemic is critical for informing a targeted and proportional response. It requires community-level studies to estimate the burden of infection and disease. Rapidly initiating such studies in a pandemic is difficult. The study aims to establish an efficient system allowing real-time assessment of population susceptibility, spread of infection and clinical attack rates in the event of a pandemic.MethodsWe developed and appended additional survey questions and specimen collection to the Health Survey for England (HSE) – a large, annual, rolling nationally representative general population survey recruiting throughout the year – to enable rapid population-based surveys of influenza infection and disease during a pandemic. Using these surveys we can assess the spread of the virus geographically, by age and through time. The data generated can also provide denominators for national estimates of case fatality and hospitalisation rates.Phase 1: we compared retrospectively collected HSE illness rates during the first two infection waves of the 2009 pandemic with the Flu Watch study (a prospective community cohort). Monthly and seasonal age-specific rates of illness and proportion vaccinated were compared.Phase 2: we piloted blood specimen and data collection alongside the 2012–13 HSE. We are developing laboratory methods and protocols for real-time serological assays of a novel pandemic influenza virus using these specimens, and automated programmes for analysing and reporting illness and infection rates.Phase 3: during inter-pandemic years, the study enters a holding phase, where it is included in the yearly HSE ethics application and planning procedures, allowing rapid triggering in a pandemic.Phase 4: once retriggered, the study will utilise the methods developed in phase 2 to monitor the severity and spread of the pandemic in real time.ResultsPhase 1: the rates of reported illness during the first two waves in the HSE underestimated the community burden as measured by Flu Watch, but the patterns of illness by age and time were broadly comparable. The extent of underestimation was greatest for HSE participants interviewed later in the year compared with those interviewed closer to the pandemic. Vaccine uptake in the HSE study was comparable to independent national estimates and the Flu Watch study.Phases 2 and 3: illness data and serological samples from 2018 participants were collected in the 2012–13 HSE and transferred to the University College London Hospital. In the 2013 HSE and onwards, this project was included in the annual HSE ethics and planning rounds.ConclusionsThe HSE’s underestimation of illness rates during the first two waves of the pandemic is probably due to recall bias and the limitation of being able to report only one illness when multiple illnesses per season can occur. Changes to the illness questions (reporting only recent illnesses) should help minimise these issues. Additional prospective follow-up could improve measurement of disease incidence. The representative nature of the HSE allows accurate measurements of vaccine uptake.Study registrationThis study is registered as ISRCTN80214280.FundingThis project was funded by the NIHR Public Health Research programme and will be published in full inPublic Health Research; Vol. 3, No. 6.

Vector-borne diseases pose a major public health threat. Combined, these diseases contribute significantly to illness and mortality worldwide and have an adverse impact on development and economic growth of nations. Public health stakeholders seeking to control and prevent these diseases are confronted with a myriad of challenges. Some of these difficulties are related to the nature of the data, the uncertainty of disease dynamics, and volatility of human-environment interactions. Visualization tools are capable of ameliorating some of these challenges. In this paper, the authors demonstrate how interactive visualizations can support stakeholders' decision-making tasks. In particular, they present a visualization tool they created that can support control efforts related to the recent Zika outbreak in Brazil.

Full textAbstract:
Individuals suffering from mental illness face challenges that are related to stigma and lack of education that are often reinforced by the media. Specifically, the elite athletic culture is not conducive for athletes who suffer from mental illness because there is at times a belief that mental illnesses are less prevalent in elite sport. Even though incidence of mental illness in elite athletes has gained more prominence in the popular media, there is still a lack of research in this area. Specifically, there is limited research regarding media representations of athletes who suffer from mental illness. To address this gap in the literature, an ethnographic content analysis (ECA) was done to examine Suzy Favor Hamilton’s open discussion of bipolar disorder surrounding the release of her new memoir, Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running From Madness. ECA yielded one overarching theme with three supporting sub-themes. Results indicated that even though Favor Hamilton’s book worked to spread awareness, the media attention surrounding the book release represented omission of mental illness in the environment of athletics. Overall, sports culture provides an environment that is not often willing to accept that mental illnesses exist in athletes.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Mental health care professionals across the globe should be prepared to contain the spread of COVID-19 among clients with mental illness and should adopt appropriate strategies to manage them effectively. Objective: The objective of this review was to summarize the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health delivery. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done to identify the effect of COVID-19 global pandemic in mental health delivery. Articles addressing mental health concerns of COVID-19 and its impact on preexisting mental illness and mental health care delivery, available free download in English language were included. A total of nine primary studies published from the onset of COVID-19 until 15th July 2020 were referred to prepare this narrative review. Result: There is evidence that patients with preexisting mental illnesses shows increase in stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances and COVID-19 related delusions and hallucinations during this global pandemic. The proposed drug treatment for COVID-19 and the imposed restrictions on the public to prevent the spread of the disease had resulted in exacerbation of existing mental illness or triggered new mental illness. Conclusion: There should be more research coming up to understand the real effect of COVID-19 on mental health care delivery and possible alternatives to global mental health delivery at the time of global pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Students are aware that germs spread disease. They also know, at least on an intellectual level, that they can avoid catching some diseases by avoiding risky encounters with infected individuals. The definition of risky encounter varies with the illness. For example, such illnesses as the common cold may be spread by an activity as common as shaking hands, whereas AIDS is frequently spread by sexual contact. Cures do not yet exist for either of these illnesses. The goal of this activity is to model the exponential growth of the common cold, AIDS, or any other communicable disease. The activity underscores the effect that a friend's— or partner's—previous behavior may have on a current relationship and on society at large. As a part of this activity, students develop a sequence of mathematical models that accurately describes the classroom activity.

Full textAbstract:
In September 2000, haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) was diagnosed in a 10-month-old child with a prodromal history of vomiting and diarrhoea (non-bloody). Investigation revealed that a self-limiting gastrointestinal illness (mean duration 48 h) had occurred among immediate and extended family in the 2 weeks prior to the child's admission. The epidemiology of the illness suggested person-to-person spread. Five children (close family contacts) had E. coli O26 verocytotoxin (VT1 and VT2) isolated from stools. Stool culture and serology from the index case were negative for shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) organisms. Control measures in accordance with the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS), verocytotoxogenic organisms (VTEC) guidelines were applied to prevent further spread among the extended family and contacts. Despite detailed food and environmental exposure histories, the source of the illness was not identified. This incident highlights the importance of investigation of cases of post-diarrhoeal HUS, for potential shiga toxin E. coli aetiology.

Full textAbstract:
In my essay I am looking at the common heritage of written signs and images through my own experience of attention deficiency and mental illness. Through this lens of experience in which words and images are vividly transformed and merged, I am reflecting on language and art and their overlapping. Throughout the text I reference early written entirely pictorial languages, the painterly terms of thought disorders, as well as how the images that gave name to the characters in the phonetic alphabet is still lurking in the very letters themselves. I also exemplify how attention deficiency can evoke new image/text hybrids in a chapter I call ADHD poetry. In my own artistic practice I am drawn towards a melting point of language, written sign, image, high and low, illusion-representation-materiality, intellect and intuition. The surface as a physical object and idea – that there is a two-dimensional space where we project fantasies and fiction. Through prose, play, rhythm, rant, word salad, crumble of meaning etc. sandwiched, I am observing the swelling of words.

Full textAbstract:
There is wide-spread recognition that people who struggle with mental illness often face negative reactions from others or systems with which they interact, and often internalize these reactions. This volume explores the many faces of the stigma of mental illness through a series of carefully chosen foci. The book begins with a series of chapters that explore models of stigma, and how stigma can present itself in different contexts such as health care, the workplace and postsecondary settings. The measurement of stigma is highlighted as an area of recent development, that is critical for evidence-based programming. A third part of the volume presents examples of innovative interventions that reduce the stigma of mental illness. Overall, the book provides a theoretically current, conceptually rich, and yet practical approach to the issues it covers, and includes a number of practical suggestions and tools for the reader from a series of global leaders.

Marrie, Thomas J. Q fever. Oxford University Press, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198570028.003.0018.
Full textAbstract:
Q fever is a wide spread illness affecting wild and domestic animals and man. The etiological agent Coxiella burnetii, has both a wild life and domestic animal cycle. In mammals, infection localizes to the endometrium and the mammary glands. The organism is reactivated during pregnancy reaching high concentrations in the placenta. At the time of parturition the organism is aerosolized. Inhalation of Coxiella burnetii by a susceptible animal results in Q fever. In man, Q fever may be acute (self limited febrile illness, pneumonia, hepatitis) or chronic (mostly endocarditis, but also osteomyelitis, endovascular infection, hepatitis [can be both acute and chronic] and Q fever in pregnancy). Abortion and stillbirth are manifestations of Q fever in domestic animals and in animal models of disease (such as a mouse model of Q fever in pregnancy ). A vaccine is available for abattoir workers, veterinarians and others at high risk for acquiring Q fever.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes food safety, in the context of both specific food products and entire food systems. The chapter describes various elements of food safety, how unsafe food causes adverse health effects, and what measures can be taken to prevent and control foodborne illness. The chapter emphasizes that public health surveillance for foodborne disease is the key to hazard identification. In particular, it emphasizes the role of public health surveillance as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of our food safety systems, and to guide the development of prevention and control measures. The chapter describes in detail preventing food contamination, controlling amplification or spread of foodborne disease agents, and reducing or eliminating hazards.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines why palliative care remains inaccessible to most persons with serious illness, citing the lack of a successful social marketing platform directed to consumers as a primary reason. It argues that the growth of palliative care has been hindered by the failure of palliative care professionals to consider the basic principles of social marketing in early language and messaging. The article first provides a historical background on the development of modern hospice care and of palliative care before turning to a discussion of how palliative care has failed to generate widespread public support and engagement. It then considers how early messaging by palliative care professionals hindered referrals to palliative care by other health-care professionals and concludes by explaining how recent attempts to use principles of audience research and targeted social marketing have led to the rapid spread and uptake of palliative care services in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The skin may be adversely affected by any serious medical illness, often as a secondary process related to infection, trauma, nutritional deficiencies, and other factors. Disease-specific skin involvement occurs commonly in some conditions, and is best characterized in cancer. Skin of the patient with advanced cancer is unique compared to other organs of the body. While the sequela of metastatic spread to internal organs often is replacement of normal tissue and resultant organ failure, widespread replacement of skin with a neoplasm is uncommon. Yet, even a local disruption of skin integrity can cause deterioration in the quality of life, debilitation, and even mortality. Other aspects of neoplastic disorders affecting the skin discussed in this chapter include accumulation of abnormally produced metabolites, adverse effects to treatment, and paraneoplastic syndromes. It is important to give dermatological aspects of disease their appropriate attention, because these can be the ones that may be dealt with efficiently and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
With its growing recognition by the early decades of the twentieth century, palliative medicine was moving from the margins to a more central place within medicine. Much had been achieved and there was growing evidence of palliative care’s successes around the world. At the same time, there were ongoing concerns about the quality of the evidence base to support its practices. There were questions about the relationship between palliative care and end-of-life care. There was also the challenge of delivering good care to all who might need it in the face of serious and life-threatening illness in an era of population growth and ageing. There seemed to be many ways to conceptualize and deliver palliative care. Would this lead to global coverage and spread, and what would be the particular role of palliative medicine within the process? This chapter concludes with reflections on progress to date and challenges for the future.

Full textAbstract:
Curing Madness? focuses on the institutional and non-institutional histories of madness in colonial north India. ‘Madness’ and ‘cure’ are explored as shifting categories which travelled across cultural, medical, national, and regional boundaries, thereby moving beyond asylum-centric histories. It is based on extensive research of archival materials gathered from various repositories in India and abroad. The book focusses on governmental policies, legal processes, everyday patterns of treatment, discipline and resistance behind the walls, and individual case histories. It also brings to fore the non-institutional histories of madness. While few ended up in asylums, most people suffering from insanity were cared for by their families and the local vidyas, ojhas, shamans, and pundits. Western medicine denigrated indigenous healing traditions forcing them to reconceptualize and reinvent themselves. The spread and dissemination of Western medical knowledge led to the reshaping of some of the Ayurvedic concepts of mental illness. Based on an examination of Hindi medical advice literature which primarily includes books, pamphlets, and periodicals, the study locates the history of madness within and beyond the asylum walls.

Abstract Austin realized he was ill while returning from Scandinavia in early October 1959. Tests quickly showed he had lung cancer, and he went for radiation treatment at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. The disease, however, spread rapidly: by Christmas he was very ill, and by mid-January it was clear he was dying. Friends called, but the children were not told how sick he was, and his death on 8 February 1960 came as a complete shock to them. The first half of the chapter concludes by discussing the reactions of friends and colleagues to his death, his memorial service, and the obituaries and tributes that appeared in the press and philosophical journals. The second half of the chapter evaluates his achievements, both military and philosophical. Its final conclusion is that, although Austin enjoyed only thirty years of adult life, he had careers of international importance in two largely unrelated fields, and that very few can equal this achievement.

Chapter 4 examines the interrelationship between religion and society for followers of the non-dual Tantric Śaiva tradition. It explores the new Tantric identities created through initiation and asks how these new identities impact the larger social experience of practitioners. It then reflects on the origin of Tantric practice and maps how Tantra seeks to subvert the social caste paradigm. The chapter examines the theories about the historical spread of Tantric practice by consulting textual descriptions of practices that are prescribed for members of different castes. This offers a humanizing look at the individual needs and actions of practitioners. It makes the argument that caste erasure was limited to the ritual sphere and was therefore symbolic. The philosophical ideal of the vanquishment of caste distinction is compared with the social necessity for hierarchy. The chapter also explores the nature of auspicious and inauspicious symbols related to initiation.

Modern wars characteristically disrupt and affect individual life. Civilians are called upon to fight; technologies of war (such as planes and submarines) bring conflict to the domestic front; sophisticated, often lethal, weapons maim and kill.1 Governments reorganise medical personnel at both sites of conflict and home. In turn, doctors find themselves treating an array of conditions that they would not normally encounter in peacetime. Moreover, war has been known to encourage the spread of disease and illness, as exemplified by the global spread of influenza towards the end of the First World War....

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious viral illness that causes health concerns. It was initially recorded in Wuhan (China). Early diagnosis of the disease aids in preventing its spread. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory test method for detecting the COVID-19 virus. To avoid the spread of COVID-19 disease, the researcher researched other techniques of diagnosis. One such technique is the classification of COVID-19 using medical images, notably chest x-ray (x-ray), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound images. This chapter suggests merging canny edge detection techniques with traditional machine learning and deep learning techniques to diagnose COVID-19.

In the last thirty years, illness narratives have not only been used as research data linking subjective suffering with medical practice, identities, social meanings, and cultural significance, but their use has also spread to practical purposes in different areas, thus widening the scope of narrative medicine. This chapter discusses why this change needs a critical reflection. It presents the richness and chances of illness narratives as well as the epistemological, methodological, and methodical problems which arise when their narratological properties are neglected. The chapter provides an overview of the book and discusses methodological and epistemological challenges, ethical and communicational aspects, and narratives in psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and vocational training, training of students and medical staff, diagnostics, decision-making, health care, and in the media.

Full textAbstract:
Rubella is caused by an enveloped RNA virus, for which humans are the only known host. Transmission is by airborne droplet spread, with infection seen predominantly in spring and early summer in temperate zones. Postnatally acquired infection presents after incubation of 14–21 days with rash (maculopapular, usually beginning on the face before spreading to the trunk and extremities), lymphadenopathy (suboccipital and posterior cervical), and mild fever. Sore throat, coryza, cough, conjunctivitis, and arthralgia may be seen. The illness is usually mild. Management is symptomatic. With rubella in pregnancy, in the first 10 weeks of gestation this is associated with a 90% risk of congenital fetal abnormalities, most typically comprising sensorineural hearing loss, alone or combined with cataracts and/or cardiac anomalies. Clinical diagnosis is unreliable, hence rapid investigation is essential when a woman develops a rubella-like illness in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy.

The present corona virus disease outbreak of 2019 is a rapidly spreading illness caused by the novel serious acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 (SARS-Cov2). France has the highest rates of infection, morbidity, and mortality, and is among the nations most impacted by the disease, along with the United States, India, Brazil, and Russia. Since early January 2022, thousands of articles have been published on COVID-19. The majority of these articles agreed with descriptions of the mode of transmission, spread, duration, and severity of the illness; models or techniques used to diagnose the COVID-19 disease; and vaccine status in various locations. Thus, this review completely discusses the highest analytical aspects of COVID-19, including various classification, segmentation, prediction, and feature selection techniques to diagnose, detect, and predict the Covid-19 disease. This review chapter will surely help researchers to choose the techniques and datasets for effective diagnosis and evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter evaluates pharyngotonsillitis (PT), an inflammation of the pharynx and tonsils characterized by the presence of increased pharyngeal and tonsillar redness and finding of an exudate, ulceration, or a membrane covering the tonsils. Because the pharynx is served by lymphoid tissues of the Waldeyer ring, an infection can spread to include various parts of the ring such as the nasopharynx, uvula, soft palate, tonsils, adenoids, and the cervical lymph glands. Based on the extent of the infection, it can be described as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, tonsillopharyngitis, or nasopharyngitis. The duration of any of these illnesses can be acute, subacute, chronic, or recurrent. The diagnosis of PT generally requires the consideration of group A β-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS) infection. However, other bacteria, viruses, and other infections and noninfectious causes should be considered. Determining if GABHS is the cause of the PT is very important because early antimicrobial therapy shortens the illness, prevents suppurative and nonsuppurative complications, reduces transmission of the pathogen, and prevents misuse of antimicrobials.

During the covid-19 pandemic, many people don’t know the causes, effects, and modes of transmission of the new virus, and the entire world is in a panic state. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), monkeypox is currently on the rise and has spread to Africa. An orthopoxviral based zoonotic illness known as monkeypox causes a smallpox-like vesicular pustular illness in humans. The evolution of monkeypox, epidemiology, with a focus on the number of confirmed, likely, and/or potential cases, age at presentation, mortality, and geographic distribution of cases across West and Central Africa, has been discovered through systematic analysis of the research and published literature. Healthcare practitioners worldwide are attempting to become familiar with the varied clinical manifestations and therapy for this infection, and public health organizations are also seeking to contain the current outbreak.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Literature data emphasize that the recent spread of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has triggered several mental health issues such as depression and anxiety disorders. Fear of the illness and social distancing have shown to be risk factors for mood disorders. It is thus necessary to study the relation between mood disorders in older adults during the pandemic. Objective: Analyze the relation between mood disorders and COVID-19 in older adults within the pandemic framework. Methods: Cross-sectional study with the application of the following tools: Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS15) and Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI). Results: 428 older adults with an average age of 67.54±5.65 years were evaluated. Most of them were married females with an education level of 14.72±3.54 years and only 10% of them had fallen ill to COVID-19. 71% of them reported changes in mood and anxiety levels due to the pandemic. There was also a significant statistical difference between this group and the other 29% regarding GDS15 and GAI scores (p <0.001). Meaningful correlations were found between GDS and GAI (rho = 0.52 / ρ = 0,001) in which the larger the depressive symptomatology, the higher the anxiety level was. Conclusion: Results suggest that there have been associations between depression and anxiety symptoms in older adults during the pandemic period. Such findings are important for the implementation of social and health public policies.

Full textAbstract:
Corona virus disease is an infectious disease induced by a family of viruses that can cause common cold and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).This research work was designed to shed light on the different presentation forms, especially the unusual ones of the disease as an attempt to make early diagnosis for better and efficient treatment and prevention of the disease.A sample of 203 subjects who have had corona disease were questioned about the symptoms they were complaining of during the illness. Correlation coefficient study was conducted to declare the relationship between the different symptoms especially the unusual ones and the disease, among the symptoms themselves, certain symptoms with the age group, as well as the gender.The results showed positive correlation between many of the usual symptoms and the disease for instance, fever, headache, cough, dyspnea, malaise, muscle and joint pain, dizziness, loss of smell and appetite, running nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. No significant correlation could be detected with the unusual symptoms like, elevated blood pressure, conjunctival congestion, amnesia, and decreased concentration, skin rash, loss of consciousness, intestinal colic and gastric pain.According to the available results no specific symptom could be attributed to a given age group or gender with the exception of the neurological symptoms in the form of amnesia, loss of consciousness, and decreased concentration. These findings were found to be firmly correlated with the severity of fever. The authors postulate that these symptoms can be attributed to the temporary reduction in the number of neurotransmitters molecules of the brain. Further work is needed to provide evidence in support of this postulation. In conclusion, for early diagnosis and therefore to achieve efficient treatment of corona disease, unusual presentation must be kept in mind. Fever must be delt with seriously and effectively to prevent or minimize the development of neurological symptoms. Using all means of audio, video, and social media to spread the information about the disease will have a crucial role in slowing the spread of the disease especially the new strains.

Full textAbstract:
According to survey reports by World Health Organization, depression was ranked as the third leading cause of the global burden of disease in 2004, moving into the first place by 2030. Considering this scenario, a research project has been conducted focusing on the potential of graphic design in health care as an opportunity to communicate complex emotional experiences of depression. Using colour as a design strategy, conceptualizes a methodological approach that can be adopted to develop colour palettes in graphic design by considering the focal parameters relevant to the specific project, in this case, connect the emotional dimension of colour experience with depression to visualise the illness in a new light.All works of graphic design establishes a visual communication with its audiences by connecting directly or indirectly on an emotional level, establishing a visual communication with their audiences, connecting directly or indirectly on an emotional level. This paper proposes a methodological approach that can be adopted to derive the appropriate colour for any design, based on the message it is intended to communicate.The development of the tool is based on the importance of the relationship between the relative degree of each emotion and the specific cultural symbolism for the derivation of colours, aiming to capture an individual's emotional attention and produce flawless results in the final design work.The work is based on a transversal approach, correlating different graphic design strategies, including colour and its symbolism, in this case with reference to Indian culture, with the aim of identifying and subsequently portraying the different types of depression, motivating depressed people to express themselves, and the population in general to change their perception about the disease, promoting greater sensitivity and sympathy towards the subject. The proposed colour tool ambitions to create a solution for the inability of people to put together words for their emotional experiences/ feelings when they are going through depression. The colours chosen by them would give a clearer understanding of the emotions/ feelings they might be going through and would play an indicative role to determine the type of depression.Hence, the project is an effort to channel appropriate color as a design tool to talk about depression, spread information and ultimately enrich humane diagnoses and treatment when it comes to fight depression.The development of this interactive visual medium to express complex emotion is fulfilled by incorporating colour variations as a paramount feature in the design strategy. To effectively portray depression as a serious illness using the expressive potential of colour to convey right emotions when used aptly, a colour code was designed, considering the variations in colour dimensions (saturation and light scales) as ways of expressing the degree of severity of the disease.The colour palette was achieved by theoretical research of colour concepts crossed with analytical study of survey results, which allowed the most significant associations between colours and emotions to be identified, and from these to build a functional colour code, providing a visual expressive tool to those going through depression.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every facet of global society. It has become evident that the impacts of this pandemic will be far-reaching and long lasting. The abstract showcases how producing entities can stand up to pandemic by initiating manpower demographical study, working schedule adjustment, communication protocol and reinforcing online job training to proactively manage the workforce in a COVID-19 impacted working environment. Entities should take systematic approaches to handle the crisis. To help employees achieve well-being in work and personal life, management can motivate employees to join Emotional Wellbeing Roadshow, and launch multiple COVID-19 campaigns to improve awareness. To support workforce continuity, an analyst can perform a workforce demographical study. Administrative staff have the option to work remotely at home, especially for senior or those with chronic illness. Working schedules can be adjusted to minimize the travelling for employees from areas with high COVID-19 rates. It is highly recommended to vaccinate employees and eligible family members. For international entities with thousands of employees and contractors, the workforce is from multiple countries. The diversification of nationality, age, educational background and working experience can create challenges for workforce management. The optimal result for entities is to minimize the extent to which employee is negatively impacted by pandemic, while meeting the business target. Zero employee fatalities caused by COVID-19 and retaining key personnel are the ultimate goals of workforce management during pandemic. During lockdown, staff might continue their career development through e-learning. The workforce could also take online assessments to renew work licenses or maintain job accreditation. Gathering and face-to-face meetings are to be replaced by video conferences. If approval is obtained, employees and eligible family members should have the option to take the COVID-19 vaccination. Due to successful planning, labor cost can be within the budget, and might generate cost savings due to reduced travelling. Due to controlling spread of the virus largely benefited from workforce management, the entity can successfully pass the COVID-19 Compliance Audit conducted by business line, corporate or local government agency. Entity should proactively respond to COVID-19 pandemic by providing support to workforce using developed tools and resources. In addition, mental health is treated equally as important as physical well-being. Furthermore, work style is retuned to recognize that virtual meeting and working from home could be successful and productive. Therefore, the workforce is always fully revitalized and the duty of producing never ceases in pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Spray drying can be used to extend the shelf life of biologics stored at ambient temperature. Empirical and statistical design of experiments approaches typically require a relatively large number of experiments to determine suitable formulation and spray drying process parameters. An alternative approach, which may require fewer experiments, is to use mechanistic models to select these parameters. In this paper, mechanistic models are applied to develop a bacteriophage powder expected to have long-term physical stability at ambient temperature. The developed powder may be useful for decreasing incidences of foodborne illness in Kenya.Keywords: bacteriophage powder; glass transition temperature; supplemented phase diagram; spray drying; stability.

Full textAbstract:
The spread of the Covid-19 virus on all continents has caused a rapid evolution of the volatility of stock indices. To prevent and counteract the effects of this global event, researchers have tried to identify the causes, amplitude, and persistence of volatility. To measure volatility using statistical models, most authors chose the number of illnesses or deaths caused by the Covid-19 virus. However, the method of recording and reporting the number of illnesses and deaths by each state, assumed certain shortcomings reported in the literature. As an alternative, Hale et al. (2021, p. 8) proposed the Government Response Stringency Index (SI). The research proposes the determination of volatility with GARCH and VAR methods using the SI index as a variable. For this purpose, 28 countries from all continents were considered. The analysis period was March 19, 2020 to December 31, 2021. The main findings are: 1) the determination of volatility for 28 analysed countries; 2) some countries show better adaptability to the pandemic; 3) the differences between the volatility calculated with the SI index and the number of illnesses or deaths are small; 4) the links between the markets are stronger in the postcrisis period. Based on these results, comparative analyzes can be carried out between states, geographical areas and continents. Furthermore, the results allow us to appreciate other major events that affected the world capital market.

Full textAbstract:
SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the infectious disease COVID-19 (Gorbalenya et al 2020 (Opens in a new window)), was first detected in the human population in December 2019 (Zhu et al 2020 (Opens in a new window)). It has since spread to become a global pandemic. Previously, two other novel coronaviruses caused illness in the human population. The first, SARS-CoV (for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) was recognised as a new illness in 2004 and the second, MERS-CoV (for Middle East respiratory syndrome) in 2012 (de Wit et al. 2016). These previous coronavirus outbreaks in humans occurred after bat coronaviruses passed through intermediate hosts (civet cats and camels, respectively) and then transmitted to infect humans (de Wit et al. 2016). SARS-CoV-2 infections in companion animals such as dogs, cats and ferrets and also in captive or farmed animals such as tigers and mink have been observed, likely as spill over events from contact with infected humans (WOAH 2022). There is now a large body of evidence from the United States that SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting white-tailed deer and that it can then spread further in the deer population (details in “What is the risk of SARS-CoV-2 being introduced into the cervid population in Great Britain?” (Defra, 2022). Assuming a worst-case scenario where SARS-CoV-2 is circulating within the UK deer population, this risk assessment was performed to determine whether handling and/or consuming UK-produced deer meat and/or offal may pose a risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 in humans.
