Accessing sub-national cholera epidemiological data for Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo during the seventh pandemic.
2022
Abstract Background Vibrio cholerae is a water-borne pathogen with a global burden estimate at 1.4 to 4.0 million annual cases. Over 94% of these cases are reported in Africa and more research is needed to understand cholera dynamics in the region. Cholera data are lacking, mainly due to reporting issues, creating barriers for widespread research on cholera epidemiology and management in Africa. Main body Here, we present datasets that were created to help address this gap, collating freely available sub-national cholera data for Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The data were collated from a variety of English and French publicly available sources, including the World Health Or…
The Role of Physicians' Digital Tools in Pharmacological Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
2022
Background and Objectives: The constantly increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the advent of new treatment options have made management of T2DM patients more demanding. We aimed to (a) estimate the familiarity of general practitioners with novel T2DM treatment options, (b) determine whether a digital tool can aid in their treatment decisions and (c) demonstrate that an evidence-based digital clinical support tool can be made using an existing digital platform. Materials and methods: This proof-of-concept study consisted of two parts: We first conducted a simple online survey among general practitioners of three European countries to estimate their familiarity with no…
Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement
2016
In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …
Prospective de la relation formation-emploi dans un territoire : Richesse des outils, cohérence de l'analyse et incohérence dans l'action
2005
05111; Cette contribution porte sur la prospective en matière de relation formation-emploi tant au niveau régional qu'européen : où en sommes-nous de la capacité de mobilisation de l'information économique et sociale ? Jusqu'à quel point le partage de l'information entre acteurs régionaux est-il possible ? Quel est le rôle des informations dans l'aide à la décision ? Quel est le rapport de la connaissance à l'action ? La réflexion s'appuie sur une comparaison des démarches prospectives mises en oeuvre dans le secteur de l'hôtellerie-restauration dans certaines régions de trois pays européens : la France, la Tchéquie et la Slovénie. Elle souligne la richesse de l'outil statistique existant p…
Entre los campos y los hospitales: ayuda médica humanitaria a los refugiados republicanos españoles en Francia (1939-1950)
2020
Como es bien sabido, las fronteras entre los estados responden, en el mundo contemporáneo, a factores de índole militar y político, pero también a razones jurídicas y económicas. Sin embargo, a menudo se olvida que, en el marco de la consolidación de los estados-nación, las fronteras obedecen también a motivaciones de índole sanitaria, esto es, al deseo de los poderes fácticos de evitar la transmisión de enfermedades sobrevenidas procedentes de otros países, bien sea por medio de personas, animales o mercancías. La práctica de las cuarentenas y los cordones sanitarios obedece a la lógica del distanciamiento social que se establece con el fin de detener la propagación de enfermedades transmi…
Problemas educativos actuales : Introducción

Emilia Elías Herrando (Madrid, 1898 – Ciudad de México 1976) fue una destacada pedagoga que trabajó en la formación del magisterio en España y México.

The overstated generational gap in online news use? A consolidated infrastructural perspective
2021
Recent research by Taneja et al. suggested that digital infrastructures diminish the generational gap in news use by counteracting preference structures. We expand on this seminal work by arguing that an infrastructural perspective requires overcoming limitations of highly aggregated web tracking data used in prior research. We analyze the individual browsing histories of two representative samples of German Internet users collected in 2012 ( N = 2970) and 2018 ( N = 2045) and find robust evidence for a smaller generational gap in online news use than commonly assumed. While short news website visits mostly demonstrated infrastructural factors, longer news use episodes were shaped more by …
