Anti-HBs levels among children and adolescents with complete immunization schedule against hepatitis B virus. A cross-sectional study in Blumenau, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, 2007-2008

INTRODUCTION: Vaccination is the main tool for preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; however, following the completion of the vaccination series, the concentrations of anti-HBs can decline over the years and reach levels less than 10mIU/mL. The persistence of protection in these individuals is still unknown. The present study aimed to determine the anti-HBs antibody levels among children and adolescents who had received a complete vaccination course for hepatitis B. METHODS: Antibodies against HBV surface antigen (anti-HBs) were tested in 371 individuals aged 10 to 15 years-old. RESULTS: Volunteers who showed undetectable quantities of anti-HBs accounted for 10.2% of the population studied and 39.9% presented antibody titers of less than 10mIU/mL. Anti-HBs > 10mIU/mL were verified in 49.9%. CONCLUSIONS: These results corroborate other studies indicating levels of anti-HBs below 10mIU/mL in vaccinated individuals. Additional studies are required to assess whether this indicates susceptibility to HBV infection and the need and age for booster doses.

Fouilles suisses à Derecik, Büyükorhan, province de Bursa (Turquie). Rapport préliminaire 2007-2008

La découverte en 2001 d'une église et de son pavement sur le site de Derecik près de la ville de Büyükorhan en Turquie a suscité de premières fouilles par les archéologues du Musée archéologique de Bursa, capitale de province, la même année. La présentation des mosaïques en 2006 aux participants d'un colloque organisé par l'Université Uludag de Bursa a permis l'intervention d'une équipe suisse sur les lieux dès 2007. Deux années de fouille et d'observations ont conduit à distinguer plusieurs phases de construction de l'église elle-même et de l'emplacement sur lequel elle est implantée. Un temple de construction légère l'a précédée, vraisemblablement dédié à Zeus, et au moins trois phases de construction la caractérisent, complétées par des aménagements postérieurs. L'occupation des lieux est attestée depuis le IIe siècle ap. J.-C., sinon avant, jusqu'aux invasions arabes du VIIIe siècle ap. J.-C.

Avaluació i impacte de les respostes penals al fenomen de la violència de gènere a Catalunya (2007-2008)

La recerca vol fer una aproximació empírica a les respostes que des del sistema penal a Catalunya s’ofereix al fenomen de la violència de gènere. S’han explorat de forma transversal les diverses fonts estadístiques quantitatives dels diferents serveis, des del Consejo del Poder Judicial, el Departament d’Interior i el Departament de Justícia, fins a l’ Institut Català de les Dones en el període 2007-2008. Tanmateix s’ha elaborat una base de dades jurisprudencial amb totes les sentències dictades per les Audiències Provincials a Catalunya durant aquest període. L’avaluació qualitativa es realitza a partir de l’anàlisi dels programes d’intervenció existents, un focus group amb els operadors jurídics de la xarxa i l’anàlisi i buidat jurisprudencial.

Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network Final Report 2007-2008

The Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network (IISN) was formally established in 2004, though surveillance has been conducted at the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) for more than ten years. The IISN is comprised of four primary surveillance systems- sentinel health care providers, hospital-based, laboratory-based, and school-based. Sentinel health care providers are part of the U.S. Influenza Sentinel Provider Surveillance System. All systems, except certain sentinel sites, report October-March. Schools and long-term care facilities report data weekly into a Web-based reporting system. Schools report the number of students absent due to illness and the total enrolled. Long-term care facilities report cases of influenza and vaccination status of each case. Both passively report outbreaks of illness, including influenza, to IDPH.

Surveillance Network Overview, 2007-2008

Seasonal influenza surveillance is conducted October through March every year. The overall goal of surveillance is to be able to characterize the impact of seasonal influenza to create and design interventions that might reduce the burden of disease.

Midwest Transportation Consortium Annual Report, 2007-2008

The Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) recently completed its sixth year of operation. The MTC has become an established portion of the research and educational programs at ISU and its partner universities. The MTC continues to emphasize its primary focus of developing human capital. For example, this semester, Fall, 2005, ISU has graduate scholars in its educational program. However, we also recognize that the federal grant is an opportunity to build programs at our respective universities that continue after the U.S. DOT UTCP may end. An example of building a long lasting program is the University of Missouri – St. Louis’ (UMSL) and its development of a transportation Ph.D. program in their business college. Admittedly, this program could have been started regardless, but Dr. Ray Mundy, Director of UMSL’s Transportation Scholars Program, believes that the MTC support of the transportation educational program at UMSL was the essential component in establishing a Ph.D. program. At ISU, the MTC has been instrumental in establishing two research and outreach programs, and both have themes that are related to the MTC’s theme of “Transportation System Management and Operation.” The Center for Weather Impacts on Mobility and Safety (C-WIMS) was recently established, and the Center for Road Infrastructure Management and Operations (RIMO) is in the process of being established. The MTC has a critical role in establishing each of these two programs. As part of the on-going MTC program, we have established an effective network that promotes the education of future transportation professionals and the development of new knowledge on how to manage transportation infrastructure and services in a more sustainable manner. The MTC has a track record of developing outstanding students; these students are now becoming leaders in the private sector, government, and academia. The MTC has also supported the development of an extensive research portfolio related to sustainable transportation asset management. More research projects are in the pipeline. Finally, the MTC has dedicated itself to the dissemination of asset management research results through an ongoing technology transfer program. This document provides a progress for the latest fiscal year of operation of the MTC, which ran from October 2004 through September 2005.
