Macht Glück glücklich? Jüdische Frauen im Untergrund 1942-1945

Oft, wenn ich mich mit der Situation von Juden beschäftigte, die sich in der Zeit des nationalsozialistischen Völkermordes versteckt hatten, versuchte ich zu verstehen, wie sie zurechtgekommen waren und wer ihnen dabei geholfen hatte. Als Historikerin suchte ich vergeblich nach Mustern: Ich suchte nach dem Muster des mutigen Opfers oder Retters, einem Muster politischer Zugehörigkeit oder geschlechtsspezifischen Verhaltens. Es gibt solche Muster: Es war zum Beispiel von Vorteil, nicht-jüdische Verwandte zu haben, und ebenso war es hilfreich, wenn man jung war - aber diese Tatsachen bieten keine zufrieden stellende Erklärung dafür, wer im Untergrund überlebt hat. In der Tat lautet die einzige Erklärung, mit der ich mich zuerst überhaupt nicht zufrieden geben wollte: Glück. Es war einfach pures Glück, das einem das Leben rettete

Viral Gastroenteritis Outbreaks in Europe, 1995–2000

To gain understanding of surveillance and epidemiology of viral gastroenteritis outbreaks in Europe, we compiled data from 10 surveillance systems in the Foodborne Viruses in Europe network. Established surveillance systems found Norovirus to be responsible for >85% (N=3,714) of all nonbacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis reported from 1995 to 2000. However, the absolute number and population-based rates of viral gastroenteritis outbreaks differed markedly among European surveillance systems. A wide range of estimates of the importance of foodborne transmission were also found. We review these differences within the context of the sources of outbreak surveillance information, clinical definitions, and structures of the outbreak surveillance systems

Natural history of human Calicivirus infection: A prospective cohort study

We investigated the natural history of human Calicivirus infection in the community. Clinical information was obtained from 99 subjects infected with Norwalk-like viruses (NLV) and 40 subjects infected with Sapporo-like viruses (SLV) in a prospective, community-based cohort study. NLV infection was common in all age groups, whereas SLV infection was mainly restricted to children aged 75% for NLV and >67% for SLV). Overall, NLV was detected in 26% of patients up to 3 weeks after the onset of illness. This proportion was highest (38%) for children aged <1 year. SLV shedding subsided after 14 days. These data show that the durations of disease and viral shedding of caliciviruses are longer than has been described elsewhere. Therefore, the impact of these infections may have been underestimated

Introduction to the special issue : management science in the fight against Covid-19

At the time of writing of this Editorial in April 2021, Covid-19 continues to ravage our planet, with an official global death toll now exceeding three million, and a horrendous legacy of economic and human damage. The roll-out of vaccination has given hope that we will soon reach the end of this chapter of history. However, it will take years for the world to overcome this calamity and many individuals whose health or livelihoods have been destroyed will never fully recover. This failure of the world to effectively respond to the challenge of Covid-19 is all the more bitter because the outbreak of a novel pathogen was entirely predictable; the spread, preventable; and the suffering, avoidable. The experience of different countries around the world shows that the ability to plan, and to execute plans in a disciplined fashion, can make all the difference between relative security and catastrophe. The challenge for Management Scientists is to show that our discipline can have a role – a critical role – as a part of this planning. Epidemiological models of disease dynamics have been prominent through this crisis but do not fully capture the constraints in the health system and cannot directly support many of the management decisions which have to be made as part of the response. As Management Scientists, our perspective and our modelling tools have the potential to address those shortcomings; but if our profession cannot demonstrate our ability to add value, others will do so in our place
