  2. 6. The role of wastewater in surveillance and emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria

    Author : Marion Hutinel; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; Bacteriology; Antibiotic resistance; Surveillance; Horizontal gene transfer; HGT; Conjugation; Plasmids; Epidemiology; CPE; E. coli; Carbapenamase; Linezolid; Colistin; Selection; sul4; OXA-48; gar; NDM; mcr; wastewater; sewage; sewer;

    Abstract : As antibiotic resistance spreads among bacterial pathogens, it reduces treatment options and increases treatment failures of infectious diseases. Strategies employed to reduce this spread or adapt to its consequences need to be based on reliable surveillance data which is lacking in many countries, often due to limited resources. READ MORE

  4. 7. Rift Valley fever : challenges and new insights for prevention and control using the “One Health” approach

    Author : Osama Ahmed Hassan Ahmed; Magnus Evander; Clas Ahlm; Joacim Rocklöv; Maria Van Kerkhove; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rift Valley fever; Sociocultural practices; Community involvement; Ecological factors; Risk map; Early warning system; Surveillance system; International Health Regulations; and One Health approach.; Epidemiology; epidemiologi; folkhälsa; Public health;

    Abstract : Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an emerging viral zoonosis that causes frequent outbreaks in east Africa and on the Arabian Peninsula. The likelihood of RVF global expansion due to climate change and human anthropogenic factors is an important issue. READ MORE

  5. 8. Resource Allocation in Airborne Surveillance Radar

    Author : Johannes Wintenby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; radar resource management; radar control; sensor management; surveillance radar; electronically scanned antenna; adaptive tracking; resource allocation;

    Abstract : Radars equipped with an Electronically Scanned Antenna (ESA) have the potential of directing the electromagnetic radar beam without mechanically adjusting the antenna. Furthermore, the beam can be redirected instantaneously towards any location in space. READ MORE

  6. 9. Cooperative Context-Aware Setup and Performance of Surveillance Missions Using Static and Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

    Author : Edison Pignaton de Freitas; Tony Larsson; Carlos Eduardo Pereira; Franz Josef Rammig; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Surveillance systems; Wireless sensor network; Cooperative sensors; Mobile sensors; Biologically-inspired networking; Context awareness;

    Abstract : Surveillance systems are usually employed to monitor wide areas in which their usersaim to detect and/or observe events or phenomena of their interest. The use ofwireless sensor networks in such systems is of particular interest as these networks can provide a relative low cost and robust solution to cover large areas. READ MORE

  7. 10. Epidemiology of unintentional injuries in rural Vietnam

    Author : Hoang Minh Hang; Peter Byass; Ton That Bach; Ruth Bonita; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Public health; unintentional injury; community-based; surveillance; Vietnam; Folkhälsomedicin; Public health medicine research areas; Folkhälsomedicinska forskningsområden; epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Abstract : The main objective of this epidemiological study was to assess the incidence of unintentional non-fatal injuries, together with their determinants and consequences, in a defined Vietnamese population, thus providing a basis for future prevention. A one-year follow-up survey involved four quarterly cross-sectional household injury interviews during 2000. READ MORE
