Distracted Driving: The New Alcohol. A Case Study of a Rising Public Health Issue in British Columbia

In the risk society, the public mobilization around emerging environmental and health risks associated with new technologies become the central challenge for a sustainable and healthy democracy. Ulrich Beck defines reflexive modernization as the ability of democratic societies to develop scientific understandings of emerging risks associated with new industrial technologies. Reflexive modernity is galvanized by progressive eco-politics that guide better ways of managing and mitigating systemic environmental and health risks. This thesis examines evidence of the growing scientific understanding of health risks associated with distracted driving-caused road accidents as a case study exploring Canada’s ability to translate this risk science into progressive public policy that improves road safety. The study starts by exploring historical risk communication strategies and their role in altering drivers’ behaviours and compliance with legislations limiting speed, impaired driving, and seatbelt use. It then reviews evidence of the new risks associated with using electronic communication devices while driving which has resulted in legislation prohibiting the use of hand-held devices by drivers across Canada and in BC. Three years into the legislation, this study found that at the very least 1.7% of all drivers are currently distracted behind the wheel. Through surveys and focus groups, the thesis explores why drivers are not willing to give up their communication habits despite existing legislations and sanctions. Recent crash data demonstrated that deaths attributed to distracted driving declined more slowly in British Columbia than from drinking, speeding, and non-use of seatbelts. The research concludes with a discussion of the importance of the lifestyle risk communication for a healthier reflexive modernity in British Columbia

ФИГУРЫ ТАНАТОСА И ЭРОСА В ПОЭТИКЕ А. С. ПУШКИНА

The article deals with ontological issues of creativity and mortal implied sense of Pushkin's fairy tale. The study object is the figures of Thanatos and Eros in ‘The Tale of the Golden Cockerel’ fairy tale. The images of King Dadon and the Queen of Shamakhan are revealed in symbiotic relationship with folklore aesthetics. Reference to folklore is caused not only by genre of the work but also by metaphysical nature of oral tradition since the Russian people have a special attitude to the theme of death. This is evidenced by the Russian fairy tale with search of “the other kingdom” in which a hero must suffer a temporary death in order to get a wonderful object, save a prophetic bride and obtain the sacred knowledge.El artículo trata sobre cuestiones ontológicas de la creatividad y el sentido implícito mortal del cuento de hadas de Pushkin. El objeto de estudio son las figuras de Thanatos y Eros en el cuento de hadas "El cuento del gallo de oro". Las imágenes del rey Dadon y la reina de Shamakhan se revelan en una relación simbiótica con la estética del folklore. La referencia al folclore es causada no solo por el género de la obra sino también por la naturaleza metafísica de la tradición oral, ya que el pueblo ruso tiene una actitud especial hacia el tema de la muerte. Esto se evidencia en el cuento de hadas ruso con la búsqueda del "otro reino" en el que un héroe debe sufrir una muerte temporal para obtener un objeto maravilloso, salvar a una novia profética y obtener el conocimiento sagrado.В статье рассматриваются онтологические вопросы творчества, мортальный подтекст пушкинской сказки. Предметом исследования выступают фигуры Танатоса и Эроса в «Сказке о золотом петушке». Образы царя Дадона и Шамаханской Царицы раскрываются в неразрывной связи с фольклорной эстетикой. Обращение к фольклору обусловлено не только жанром произведения, но и самой метафизической природой устного народного творчества, так как русский народ особым образом относится к теме смерти. Об этом свидетельствует и русская волшебная сказка с поисками «иного царства», в которой герой обязательно должен пережить временную смерть, чтобы добыть чудесный предмет, выручить вещую невесту, приобщиться к сакральным знаниям

Introducere. Rujeola ramâne a fi actuală în legătură cu înregistrarea în condiţiile actuale a erupţiilor în diferite teritorii. Scopul cercetării a fost de a caracteriza procesul epidemic în rujeolă pe modelul unui oraş mare industrial, în condiţiile aplicării diferitor strategii de vaccinare, pentru a adopta noi decizii administrative privind controlul infecţiiei la etapa eliminării acesteia. Material şi metode. Cercetarea se bazează pe datele rapoartelor statistice privind morbiditatea prin rujeolă în oraşul Ekaterinburg, perioada anilor 1950-2016. Manifestările procesului epidemic au fost studiate cu referire la şase perioade: perioada prevaccinală (1950-1961), perioada de vaccinare selectivă (1962-1965), vaccinarea planificată a copiilor cu vârsta de până la 8 ani (1966-1972), vaccinarea copiilor cu vârsta de până la 14 ani (1973-1986), introducerea revaccinării planificate a copiilor (1987-2001) şi perioada de vaccinoprofilaxie planificată la etapa de eliminare a infecţiei (2002-2016). Rezultate. În perioada prevaccinală, morbiditatea medie anuală prin rujeolă a constituit 1381,7±162,90/0000. Creşterea sezonieră a morbidităţii a fost înregistrată în perioada decembriemai, cu predominarea copiilor în structura grupurilor de vârstă. În perioada de imunizare selectivă, a avut loc o uşoară scădere a morbidităţii, până la 1082,8±189,10/0000. Dinamica anuală şi distribuţia pe grupele de vârstă a cazurilor de rujeolă a fost similară perioadei prevaccinală. În perioada vaccinării de rutină a copiilor cu vârsta de până la 8 ani, s-a determinat o scădere semnificativă a morbidităţii prin rujeolă până la nivelul de 219,8±110,80/0000, observat în toate grupele de vârstă, cu excepţia copiilor în vârstă de 10-14 ani şi a adulţilor. Manifestările sezoniere ale procesului epidemic sunt similare cu perioadele anterioare. În perioada vaccinării de rutină a copiilor cu vârsta de până la 14 ani, a fost înregistrată o scădere suplimentară a morbidităţii până la 89,9±39,10/0000. Introducerea celei de-a doua vaccinări la copiii cu vârsta de 6 ani înainte de şcoală a permis atingerea nivelului sporadic de morbiditate şi modificarea parametrilor de manifestare ale procesul epidemic, caracteristic în perioadele anterioare. Cu toate acestea, în anul 2016 au fost raportate erupţii de rujeolă, în care au fost afectate 72 de persoane. Erupţia a fost cauzată de importul şi răspândirea virusului rujeolic al genotipului D8 în instituţiile medicale, înregistrat în rândul copiilor nevaccinaţi şi al adulţilor. Concluzie. La etapa actuală, pentru a controla procesul epidemic în rujeolă, este necesar de a redefini criteriile de evaluare a siguranţei epidemiologice a teritoriului în ceea ce priveşte extinderea indicaţiilor pentru screeningul pacienţilor cu erupţii cutanate, la prezenţa anticorpilor împotriva rujeolei, controlul strict al imunizării la timp a contingentului decretat (copiii cu vârsta de 1 an şi 6 ani) şi introducerea revaccinării planice a persoanelor cu vârsta sub 50 de ani, la fiecare 10 ani.Abstract. Introduction. Measles infection is still relevant in connection with the registration of the outbreaks of this disease in different territories. The purpose of the research was to characterize the epidemic process of measles in a large industrial city in terms of different strategies for its vaccination, in order to adopt new administrative decisions on infection control at the stage of its elimination. Material and methods. The research is based on data of statistical reports on the incidence of measles in Yekaterinburg from 1950 to 2016. The manifestations of the epidemic process were analyzed for six periods: the period before vaccination (1950-1961), the period of selective immunization (1962-1965), routine vaccination of children up to 8 years (1966-1972), routine vaccination of children up to 14 years (1973-1986), the introduction of mass revaccination of children (1987-2001) and the period of the generalized vaccination at the stage of elimination of the infection (2002-2016). Results. In the period before vaccination the mean annual incidence was 1381.7±162.90/0000, the seasonal rise of incidence was in December-May, children prevailed in the structure of the age groups. In the period of selective immunization there was a slight decline in the incidence to 1082.8±189.10/0000, the dynamics within the year and the age distribution of cases was similar to the period before vaccination. During vaccination of children up to 8 years there was significant decrease in morbidity to the level of 219.8±110.80/0000, which was observed in almost all age groups except for children aged 10-14 years and adults. Seasonal manifestations of the epidemic process were similar to the previous periods. During vaccination of children up to 14 years there was a further decrease in the incidence to 89.9±39.10/0000, but in some years, the outbreaks of the infection were reported. The introduction of the second vaccination to children aged 6 years before school allowed to achieve the sporadic incidence and to change the basic parameters describing the epidemic process in all previous periods. However, against this background, a measles outbreak was reported in 2016 when 72 people were affected. The outbreak was caused by introduction and spread of measles virus of genotype D8 mainly in the medical settings among unvaccinated children and adults. Conclusion. At the present stage, in order to control the epidemic process of measles, it is necessary to redefine the criteria for the evaluation of epidemiological safety of the territory in terms of expansion of indications for screening for antibodies to measles among patients with exanthema, strict control of timeliness of immunization of the decreed population (children aged 1 year and 6 years) and the introduction of routine revaccination of persons under the age of 50 years every 10 years

Agressão de adolescentes como forma de manifestação de comportamento desviante

The aim of research is identify Aggression of teenagers as form of manifestation of deviant behavior. This is an analytical-descriptive study in which a questionnaire was used to collect data. the results showed that teenagers are more aggressive and hostile than students. This is due to the onset of accelerating the pace of physical development, puberty, hormonal alteration of the body, which, in turn, leads to emotional instability. Schoolchildren and students have their own psychological characteristics of aggressiveness, which was shown by factor analysis.El objetivo de la investigación es identificar la agresión de los adolescentes como forma de manifestación de conducta desviada.

INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE CHILE FISH CLUSTER

The issue of existence of an industrial cluster should be correlated with the stage of life cycle of basic industry production. The technological cycle of some industries lasts decades, and the life cycle of industrial cluster can be shorter. While developing consequent stages of the life cycle of the cluster it is necessary to consider the factor of availability of resources or the duration of exploitation, created for functioning of this sector of infrastructure. The development of practically all industrial clusters took a lot of time, the development of the Russian clusters is calculated for 5–10 years. In the world practice there are no cases of creating efficient industrial companies in the developing countries over such periods. There is often a need to use ready objects of infrastructure, but even in this case it may need renovation. Therefore, at the stage of formation, it is desirable to carry out the minimum number of investments that are mainly associated with the creation of the necessary infrastructure and complementary set of institutional conditions that maximize the use of existing infrastructure

Lichens, bryophytes and terrestrial algae of the Lake Untersee Oasis (Wohlthat Massiv, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica)

Lake Untersee is the largest ice-covered freshwater lake in the interior of East Antarctica. The mountain oasis is situated around it in the Gruber Mts. of the Wohlthat Massif. For approximately 7,000 years the area has been free of ice and the local climate relatively stable. It is very severe, cold, and windy and dominated by intense evaporation and sublimation but with little melt. Relative humidity averages only 37%. Vegetation is sparse in the oasis and previously only poorly investigated. Two lichen species and no bryophytes were known from the area. In November-December 2018, a survey of terrestrial flora and vegetation was made. The list of lichens was completed for the area, bryophytes were found for the first time, and some terrestrial algae were collected. In total, 23 lichen species, 1 lichenicolous fungus, 1 moss, and 18 terrestrial algae were discovered for the locality. The abundance of each species within their habitats was also evaluated. The lichen flora of the Untersee Oasis is typical for continental oases and similar to other previously investigated internal territories of Dronning Maud Land, except for the very rich lichen flora of the Schirmacher Oasis

In vitro studies of iron absorption and activity of glutathione peroxidase in intestinal mucosa of the chicken

We examined the absorption of iron, the activity of selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase (GSH·Px) and cellular compartmentalization of metal in the chicken duodenum and ileum. The method of accumulating mucosa preparation (AMP) was used. It was shown that the intestinal iron accumulation is dose-dependent process, which has two components: transcellular and paracellular. The realization of these pathways is region-specific and depends on exposed iron levels. Slightly elevated iron status of intestinal mucosa does not influence activity of GSH·Px. At the same time the results indicate that the activity of glutathione peroxidase can be altered by iron overload. Immunohistochemistry revealed that stainable iron could be co-localized to the endolysosomal compartment. How the activity of enzyme can be affected by oxidative stress and competitive interactions of iron with selenium are discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.141278
