Abstract Background Sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 viral genome from patient samples is an important epidemiological tool for monitoring and responding to the pandemic, including the emergence of new mutations in specific communities. Methods SARS-CoV-2genomicsequencesweregeneratedfrompositivesamplescollected,alongwithepidemiologicalmetadata,atawalk-up, rapid testing site in the Mission District of San Francisco, California during November 22-December 1, 2020 and January 10-29, 2021. Secondary household attack rates and mean sample viral load were estimated and compared across observed variants. Results A total of 12,124 tests were performed yielding 1,099 positives. From these, 928 high quality genomes were generated. Certain viral lineages bearing spike mutations, defined in part by L452R, S13I, and W152C, comprised 54.4% of the total sequences from January, compared to 15.7% in November. Household contacts exposed to the “California” or “West Coast” variants (B.1.427 and B.1.429) were at higher risk of infection compared to household contacts exposed to lineages lacking these variants (0.36 vs 0.29, RR=1.28; 95% CI:1.00-1.64). The reproductive number was estimated to be modestly higher than other lineages spreading in California during the second half of 2020. Viral loads were similar among persons infected with West Coast versus non-West Coast strains, as was the proportion of individuals with symptoms (60.9% vs 64.3%). Conclusions The increase in prevalence, relative household attack rates, and reproductive number are consistent with a modest transmissibility increase of the West Coast variants.

Teachers are most significant factor in education system. Teachers are playing very important role for the success of education system. That system of education may be for primary level or for secondary level, or it may be for level of higher education. Teachers are dynamic and conscious factor of education, they are very cognizant about every phenomena of education due to their professional competence. They are well acquainted with national literacy mission, post literacy mission, district primary education programmer and Sarva Shiksha Mission. Recently launched new programmer of secondary education as Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan, this study had concentrated to identify the differences of the level of perception about Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) among the school teachers, in term of 17 variables viz. Age of respondent (X1), Educational qualification of respondent (X2), Number of family members (X3), Number of children going to school (X4), Number of Children studying in class IX and X (X5), Need of private tuition (X6), Reasons behind the private tuition (X7),  Additional boost up given by RMSA (X8), Shortfall of present secondary education system (X9), Remediable steps of secondary education (X10), Awareness of social facts (X11) Involvement in social activities (X12), Influence of SSA (X13), Achievement of SSA (X14), Functions of Mid-day Meal(X15), Initiation of Mid-day Meal for Secondary level (X16), and Better options of  implementation of Mid-day Meal(X17) were found to bear mentionable impact on the high and low level of perception (Y) of the school teachers of West Bengal.

Nicaraguan Revolution

Gay and lesbian radicals opposed both the domestic and the foreign policies of the New Right and became allies to Nicaragua's Sandinista Revolution. Starting in 1978, activists began to organize uniquely lesbian and gay solidarity with Nicaragua and to use these efforts to address tensions between sexuality, socialism, and racial and ethnic identities. Lesbian and gay solidarity was anti-imperialist, anti-militarist, and sought multiracial community in the San Francisco Mission District. Activists built groups including the Gay Latino Alliance, Gay People for the Nicaraguan Revolution, and Lesbians and Gays Against Intervention. By 1983 lesbian and gay radicals had won a major presence in Central American solidarity and forged networks tied to women of color feminism and the San Francisco Women's Building.

The coda examines how cultural producers contribute to the Latina/o counter-dictatorial imaginary using non-print-based artistic forms. It focuses in depth on the murals in Balmy Alley in San Francisco’s Mission District, examining how their depiction of authoritarian repression in Central America coexists alongside representations of other forms of oppression in the United States. The murals generate linked histories of violence and are material testaments to interracial solidarity and a collective struggle for social justice. The coda’s analysis of the palimpsests of paint and the visual polyphony across the walls of Balmy Alley adds another texture and layer to the counter-dictatorial imaginary traced in the preceding chapters. It ends by suggesting that other forms of Latina/o cultural production such as music, film, and Day of the Dead altars work together with the murals and the novel to capture the afterlives of the dictatorial past and current dictatorial forms of oppression.
