Health and social care workers: don't risk flu infection

This leaflet explains why health and social care workers should receive the new flu vaccine. It provides a range of information, including how to get vaccinated, how the vaccine works, how effective it is and possible side effects.

Assessing small non-zero perceptions of chance: The case of H1N1 (swine) flu risks

Feelings of invulnerability, seen in judgments of 0% risk, can reflect misunderstandings of risk and risk behaviors, suggesting increased need for risk communication. However, judgments of 0% risk may be given by individuals who feel invulnerable, and by individuals who are rounding from small non-zero probabilities. We examined the effect of allowing participants to give more precise responses in the 0-1% range on the validity of reported probability judgments. Participants assessed probabilities for getting H1N1 influenza and dying from it conditional on infection, using a 0-100% visual linear scale. Those responding in the 0-1% range received a follow-up question with more options in that range. This two-step procedure reduced the use of 0% and increased the resolution of responses in the 0-1% range. Moreover, revised probability responses improved predictions of attitudes and self-reported behaviors. Hence, our two-step procedure allows for more precise and more valid measurement of perceived invulnerability. [Authors]

New pandemics: HIV and AIDS, HCV and chronic hepatitis, Influenza virus and flu.

New pandemics are a serious threat to the health of the entire world. They are essentially of viral origin and spread at large speed. A meeting on this topic was held in Lyon, France, within the XIXth Jacques Cartier Symposia, a series of France-Québec meetings held every year. New findings on HIV and AIDS, on HCV and chronic hepatitis, and an update on influenza virus and flu were covered during this meeting on December 4 and 5, 2006. Aspects of viral structure, virus-host interactions, antiviral defenses, drugs and vaccinations, and epidemiological aspects were discussed for HIV and HCV. Old and recent data on the flu epidemics ended this meeting.

Erratum: "The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization" [J. Chem Phys. 122, 014109 (2005)]

An erratum to the article "The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization", published in The Journal Chemistry of Physics, 2005, v.122, art. no.014109. Values FLU have been corrected in the last column of Table I because they were not correct

The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization

In this work, the aromatic fluctuation index (FLU) that describes the fluctuation of electronic charge between adjacent atoms in a given ring is introduced as a new aromaticity measure. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized circulation of π electrons. It is defined not only considering the amount of electron sharing between contiguous atoms, which should be substantial in aromatic molecules, but also taking into account the similarity of electron sharing between adjacent atoms. For a series of rings in 15 planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, we have found that, in general, FLU is strongly correlated with other widely used indicators of local aromaticity, such as the harmonic-oscillator model of aromaticity, the nucleus independent chemical shift, and the para-delocalization index (PDI). In contrast to PDI, the FLU index can be applied to study the aromaticity of rings with any number of members and it can be used to analyze both the local and global aromatic character of rings and molecules

Pesquisa: chegada de Ronaldinho ao Flu tem grande impacto nas redes sociais

A chegada de Ronaldinho Gaúcho ao Fluminense movimentou o futebol brasileiro e as redes sociais. Em levantamento feito pela equipe do site Brasileirão na Rede, da Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV), o impacto do R10 no Flu foi enorme. É disparado o atleta mais citado. Na pesquisa, Fred também sempre aparece entre os dez mais citados.

Notícia da saída do Flu aumenta ainda mais a popularidade de Ronaldinho

Depois de apenas nove jogos pelo Fluminense, Ronaldinho Gaúcho se despediu das Laranjeiras no último dia 28 sem o brilho que se espera de um craque. A popularidade do camisa 10 nas redes sociais, no entanto, aumentou ainda mais em setembro. No Twitter, ele teve 250.370 menções e ficou ainda com mais folga na primeira posição.
