Rabies remains a constant threat to humanity in many parts of the world. At the same time, scientifically grounded antiepizootic measures should be based on the peculiarities of the regional epizootology of this zooanthroponosis. The authors studied the epizootological and statistical reporting data of the Kropotkin Regional Veterinary Laboratory, presented an analysis of the registration of rabies in animals in Krasnodar region. From the obtained data, it should be noted that despite the wide range of animals involved in the epizootic process of rabies infection in Krasnodar region, dogs, cats and foxes play a major role in the reservation and spread of infection, which account for 78.6. Of the total number of registered cases, 15.5% falls on foxes, that indicates the natural focus of the disease, along with the manifestation of the disease in an urban form. At the same time, stray and neglected dogs and cats, which occupy a significant place among the total number of sick animals, are also sources and spread of the infection. Thus farm animals (8.3% of the total number of infected animals) are a biological dead end for the infection. Isolated cases of the disease were noted in muskrat, donkey, raccoon, raccoon dog, marten, ferret and jackal. The authors also established the specific morbidity of various animal species with rabies infection, that is an important aspect in the development and implementation of antiepizootic measures complex

In this paper, I propose a new theory that ascribes the increasing female crime share to unequal emancipatory advancement between women’s ideological aspirations and institutional means in modern times. Accordingly, it is proposed that an incommensurate pace in progression inflicts gender-specific deprivation on women, which increases their share of crime. The theory is tested with Uniform Crime Reporting data from 1980 to 2017 across offense types. The findings indicate that mismatched liberation increases the female share of violent and property crimes, especially for adult cohorts and among samples after 1988 when women’s ends-means gap was found to be enlarged.

Reporting Data

The widely used logistic model for epidemic case reporting data may be either restrictive or unrealistic in presence of containment measures when implemented after an epidemic outbreak. For flexibility in epidemic case reporting data modeling, we combined an exponential growth curve for the early epidemic phase with a flexible growth curve to account for the potential change in growth pattern after implementation of containment measures. We also fitted logistic regression models to recoveries and deaths from the confirmed positive cases. In addition, the growth curves were integrated into a SIQR (Susceptible, Infective, Quarantined, Recovered) model framework to provide an overview on the modeled epidemic wave. We focused on the estimation of: (1) the delay between the appearance of the first infectious case in the population and the outbreak (“epidemic latency period”); (2) the duration of the exponential growth phase; (3) the basic and the time-varying reproduction numbers; and (4) the peaks (time and size) in confirmed positive cases, active cases and new infections. The application of this approach to COVID-19 data from West Africa allowed discussion on the effectiveness of some containment measures implemented across the region.

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019, first reported in China in late 2019, has quickly spread across the world. The outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Here, we describe our initial efforts at the University of Florida Health for processing of large numbers of tests, streamlining data collection, and reporting data for optimizing testing capabilities and superior clinical management. Specifically, we discuss clinical and pathology informatics workflows and informatics instruments which we designed to meet the unique challenges of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing. We hope these results benefit institutions preparing to implement SARS-CoV-2 testing.

Qualitative research comes with its fair share of challenges; however, those challenges are often amplified when interviewing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A research project, Friendly Housemates, was conducted where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were matched with post-secondary students to live together as housemates. Drawing on experience gleaned from interviews conducted for the study and earlier research, recommendations are made for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data from participants who are quiet or have expressive language difficulties. These practices will help to ensure that the voices that are so often relegated to the fringes are brought to the disability research discourse.

Abstract Psychotropics use to manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in nursing homes (NHs) has been the focus of policy attention due to their adverse effects. We hypothesized that NHs with lower nursing staffing would have greater reliance on psychotropics use to control BPSD. A NH deficiency of care can be cited for inappropriate psychotropics use (F-tag 758). The association between the occurrence of F-758 tags and nurse staffing in residents with dementia was examined using the 2017-18 Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting data (n=14,548 NHs). Staffing measures included nursing hours per resident day (HPRD) and registered nurse (RN) skill-mix. Generalized linear mixed models that included covariates (NH location, bed size, ownership, proportion of residents with dementia/depression/psychiatric disorders and with Medicare/Medicaid) estimated the magnitude of the associations. There were 1,872 NHs with F-758 tags indicating inappropriate psychotropics use for NH residents with dementia. NHs with greater RN and certified nurse assistant (CNA) HPRD had significantly lower odds of F-758 tags (OR=0.59 54, 95% CI=0.47 44-0.73 66; OR=0.87, 95% CI=0.77-0.99, respectively) and similar findings were found in NHs with greater RN skill-mix (OR=0.14 10, 95% CI=0.05 04-0.37 25). There were no significant associations between the occurrence of F-758 tags and licensed practice nurse and unlicensed nurse aide HPRD. This study found that RN and CNA staffing had inverse associations with inappropriate psychotropic use citations among residents with dementia. NHs with higher RN staffing ratios may be better able to implement alternatives to pharmacological approaches for BPSD. It is suggested that NHs be equipped with adequate nurse staffing levels to reduce unnecessary psychotropics use.
