Abstract

The article explores Emily Dickinson's poem "So I Pull My Stockings Off" in the context of Harriet Tubman's life and legacy. It suggests that Dickinson may have drawn inspiration from Tubman's courageous actions as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. By examining the poem through the lens of Tubman's defiance against the status quo, the article offers a fresh perspective on Dickinson's views on disobedience, morality, and social norms. The analysis highlights the potential connection between Dickinson's poetic expression and Tubman's remarkable journey to freedom, shedding light on the complexities of race, gender, and societal expectations in the 19th century.

Abstract

Background Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) provide strong direct protection in children, while limited data are available on their indirect effect on mortality among older age groups. This multicountry study aimed to assess the population-level impact of pediatric PCVs on all-cause pneumonia mortality among children ≥5 years of age, and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) cases in Chile. Methods Demographic and mortality data from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico were collected considering the ≥ 5-year-old population, from 2000 to 2019, with 1 795 789 deaths due to all-cause pneumonia. IPD cases in Chile were also evaluated. Time series models were employed to evaluate changes in all-cause pneumonia deaths during the postvaccination period, with other causes of death used as synthetic controls for unrelated temporal trends. Results No significant change in death rates due to all-cause pneumonia was detected following PCV introduction among most age groups and countries. The proportion of IPD cases caused by vaccine serotypes decreased from 29% (2012) to 6% (2022) among people aged ≥65 years in Chile. Discussion While an effect of PCV against pneumonia deaths (a broad clinical definition that may not be specific enough to measure indirect effects) was not detected, evidence of indirect PCV impact was observed among vaccine-type–specific IPD cases.

Abstract

For vaccine development and adoption decisions, the 'Full Value of Vaccine Assessment' (FVVA) framework has been proposed by the WHO to expand the range of evidence available to support the prioritization of candidate vaccines for investment and eventual uptake by low- and middle-income countries. Recent applications of the FVVA framework have already shown benefits. Building on the success of these applications, we see important new opportunities to maximize the future utility of FVVAs to country and global stakeholders and provide a proof-of-concept for analyses in other areas of disease control and prevention. These opportunities include the following: (1) FVVA producers should aim to create evidence that explicitly meets the needs of multiple key FVVA consumers, (2) the WHO and other key stakeholders should develop standardized methodologies for FVVAs, as well as guidance for how different stakeholders can explicitly reflect their values within the FVVA framework, and (3) the WHO should convene experts to further develop and prioritize the research agenda for outcomes and benefits relevant to the FVVA and elucidate methodological approaches and opportunities for standardization not only for less well-established benefits, but also for any relevant research gaps. We encourage FVVA stakeholders to engage with these opportunities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Medidas de distanciamento social vêm sendo amplamente adotadas para mitigar a pandemia da COVID-19. No entanto, pouco se sabe quanto ao seu impacto no momento da implementação, abrangência e duração da vigência das medidas. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar as medidas de distanciamento social implementadas pelas Unidades da Federação (UF) brasileiras, incluindo o tipo de medida e o momento de sua adoção. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com caracterização do tipo, momento cronológico e epidemiológico da implementação e abrangência das medidas. O levantamento das medidas foi realizado por meio de buscas em sites oficiais das Secretarias de Governo e no Diário Oficial de cada UF. Os números de casos e óbitos por COVID-19 foram obtidos de uma plataforma de informações oficiais. Consideramos as seguintes categorias de medidas de distanciamento social: suspensão de eventos, suspensão de aulas, quarentena para grupos de risco, paralisação econômica (parcial ou plena), restrição de transporte e quarentena para a população. O momento de implementação considerou a data cronológica e também o momento epidemiológico, levando em conta o tempo após o décimo caso ou primeiro óbito por COVID-19 em cada UF. Todas as UF implementaram medidas de distanciamento, em sua maioria durante a segunda quinzena de março de 2020. Paralisação econômica foi implementada precocemente, anterior ao décimo caso por 67% e anterior ao primeiro óbito por COVID-19 por 89% das UF. As medidas de distanciamento social foram amplamente implementadas no Brasil, de maneira precoce, antes ou na fase inicial da curva de crescimento exponencial de casos e óbitos por COVID-19 na grande maioria das UF. Medidas de distanciamiento social están siendo ampliamente adoptadas para mitigar la pandemia de la COVID-19. No obstante, poco se sabe en cuanto al momento de implementación, alcance y duración de la vigencia de las medidas en su impacto. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar las medidas de distanciamiento social, implementadas por las Unidades de la Federación (UF) brasileñas, incluyendo el tipo de medida y el momento de su implementación. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo con caracterización del tipo, momento cronológico y epidemiológico de la implementación y alcance de las medidas. La obtención de las medidas se realizó a través de búsquedas en sitios oficiales de las Secretarías de Gobierno y Boletín Oficial de cada UF. Los números de casos y óbitos por COVID-19 se obtuvieron de una plataforma de información oficial. Consideramos las siguientes categorías de medidas de distanciamiento social: suspensión de eventos, suspensión de clases, cuarentena para grupos de riesgo, paralización económica (parcial o plena), restricción de transporte y cuarentena para la población. El momento de implementación consideró la fecha cronológica y también el momento epidemiológico, considerando el tiempo tras el 10º caso o 1er óbito por COVID-19 en cada UF. Todas las UF implementaron medidas de distanciamiento, en su mayoría durante la segunda quincena de marzo de 2020. Se implementó la paralización económica precozmente, anterior al 10º caso por 67% y anterior al 1er óbito por COVID-19 por 89% de las UF. Las medidas de distanciamiento social fueron ampliamente implementadas en Brasil, de manera precoz, antes o en la fase inicial de la curva de crecimiento exponencial de casos y óbitos por COVID-19 en la gran mayoría de las UF. Social distancing measures have been widely adopted to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about the timing of measures’ implementation, scope, and duration in relation to their impact. The study aimed to describe the social distancing measures implemented by Brazil’s states and the Federal District, including the types of measures and the timing of their implementation. This is a descriptive study of the measures’ type, chronological and epidemiological timing of the implementation, and scope. The survey of measures used searches in official websites of the government departments and each state’s Government Register. The official number of COVID-19 cases and deaths were obtained from an official a data platform. We considered the following categories of social distancing measures: suspension of events, school closure, quarantine of risk groups, economic lockdown (partial or full), restrictions on transportation, and quarantine of the population. The implementation’s timing considered both the chronological date and the epidemiological timing, based on the time since the 10th case or 1st death from COVID-19 in each state. All the states implemented distancing measures, mostly during the latter half of March 2020. Economic lockdown was implemented early, prior to the 10th case by 67% of the states and prior to the 1st death from COVID-19 by 89% of the states. Early social distancing measures were widely implemented in Brazil, before or in the initial phase of the exponential growth curve of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the great majority of states.
