The Rénarub network, set up in 1976, is the principle source of information on the epidemiology of rubella in France (1, 2). Its objective is to collate, at national level, cases of rubella occurring during pregnancy and congenital rubella, and more widely, to evaluate the impact of vaccination policy and prevention measures put in place in France with the aim of eliminating congenital rubella. The full version of this article is available on the website of the Institut de Veille Sanitaire, including the new case definition, more detailed results (http://www.invs.sante.fr/publications/2003/rubeole_2001/rubbeh_2001.pdf), and a list of laboratories participating in the network (http://www.invs.sante.fr/publications/2003/rubeole_2001/reseau_renarub.htm).

The Impact

As the first pilot provincial water environmental compensation set up at the national level, the Xin’anjiang River Basin plays a very important exemplary and guiding role in the ecological compensation of transboundary basins in China. There is no paper evaluating the environmental performance in watershed scale after getting rid of the natural factor’s effect. Here we issue a new approach to evaluate it, combing the SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) models and data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, based on counterfactual scenarios. After ecological compensation, the results show that the decrease of total nitrogen (TN) non-point source export coefficient was stable (17.16–17.78% in different sources), while that of total phosphorus (TP; 8.51–17.75%) and permanganate index (CODMn; 13.10–21.41%) was not. The projects of fertilizer application’s effects were relatively obvious; on average, the decreases of the export coefficients were 17.16%, 17.75%, and 21.41% in TN, TP, and CODMn models, respectively, showing the importance of eco-compensation regulation, not only in non-point source pollution reduction but also resulting in high levels of eco-compensation efficiencies, especially in scale efficiencies. By assessing parameter and modeling uncertainty with the use of the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) method, the models’ structure well represents the hydrological behavior. This study also provides policymakers with a new perspective in accurately measuring the impact of environmental performance, to guide the next step of environmental investment optimization.

We present 10 years of results from a paediatrician hospital network surveillance in France, set up in 1996 to monitor the trend of pertussis (whooping cough) in children and the impact of the vaccination strategies. Microbiologists from 43 hospitals that participate in the network on a voluntary basis notify pertussis diagnosis, and paediatricians complete a questionnaire for the infants under 6 months that fulfil the microbiological, clinical or epidemiological case definition. The network covers about 30% of pertussis cases seen in French hospitals.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic led to a global atmosphere of anxiety and depression. However, the impact of this disaster on mental health in pregnancy women was not clear. Methods Based on two cohort study, the Novel Coronavirus Disease Influenced Pregnant Cohort Study (NCP) set up during the COVID-19 epidemic and the Healthy Baby Cohort Study (HBC) set up in 2012, we compared the anxiety, depression and stress levels of pregnant women who did not or did go through the COVID-19 pandemic and analyzed the risk factors for mental health in pregnancy women. Results There were 784 and 2448 participants in the CNP and HBC studies involved in the analysis, respectively. We found that there were 23.09% and 4.72% pregnant women suffering for mild and moderate-to-several anxieties for those in the NCP study, and 21.53% and 3.06% in the HBC study. The mild and moderate-to-several depression rate was 25.89% and 11.35% for those in the NCP study, and 19.81% and 0.51% for those in the HBC study, respectively. No significant difference was found for anxiety, depression and stress levels was found at each gestational trimester (p > 0.05). The pandemic of COVID-19 was significantly associated with maternal depression and stress (p < 0.05), with the co-efficient and 95%CI as 0.37 (0.18, 0.55) and − 0.12 (-0.09, -0.32), respectively. Pregnant women with pre-pregnancy obesity, higher educational level or good sleep quality might have lower risks for anxiety, depression and stress compared with the referenced groups. conclusions The pandemic had a huge impact on depression, especially moderate-to-sever level, in pregnant women at whatever gestational week; and that pre-pregnancy obesity, highly educated and sleep well ones had less anxiety and depression risks. The society, especially the family members, should pay more attention to pregnant ones and give more social support to them.

In de Nederlandse archieven worden tienduizenden oorkonden (ofwel charters) bewaard uit de middeleeuwen en de vroegmoderne tijd. Dit materiaal vormt een onschatbare bron van informatie over allerlei maatschappelijke aspecten. Toch worden deze oorkonden in het historisch onderzoek nog weinig gebruikt, vanwege de gecompliceerde heuristiek: de documenten zijn verspreid over tientallen archieven en honderden archieffondsen. De Digitale Charterbank Nederland (DCN) maakt het grootste deel van dit corpus nu toegankelijk in een geïntegreerde database, waarin alle stukken vindbaar zijn. Ons artikel bespreekt de opzet van DCN en de praktische consequenties daarvan voor de gebruiker. De database kent specifieke mogelijkheden maar ook bepaalde beperkingen, en dit artikel toont hoe DCN kan helpen bij zowel gedetailleerd onderzoek naar personen of plaatsen als bij brede studies over een lange periode. Tevens wordt ingegaan op de invloed van de nieuwe grootschalige digitale bronontsluitingen en de bijbehorende hulpmiddelen en technieken op het historisch onderzoek.The Dutch archives hold tens of thousands of charters from the Middle Ages and early modern period, providing an invaluable source of information on various societal aspects. Yet, this material is scarcely used in historical research mainly due to its complicated heuristics: the documents are spread across dozens of archives and hundreds of archival funds. The Digitale Charterbank Nederland (DCN) now makes most of this corpus accessible through an integrated database in which all documents can be found. Our article discusses the set-up of DCN and its practical consequences for the user. The database has specific possibilities but also certain limitations, and this article shows how DCN can help with both detailed research into persons or places, and with more broadly oriented research covering a long period of time. The article further includes a reflection on the impact of new large scale digital source retrieval systems and the associated tools and techniques on historical research.

We aimed to study the impact of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the basic antenatal care received during the. A facility-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted and 62 pregnant women were interviewed. A total of 80.6% of mothers were satisfied with the quality of antenatal care they received, ≥ 7 of 10 on visual analogue scales (VAS). The majority of women were not confident to deliver their baby and 58.1% of women showed ≤ 5 of 10 on VAS. Midwife (90.3%) was the commonest source of information. Internet (1.6%) was a poor source. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of antenatal care was significant, and the findings are useful for the policymakers to plan necessary actions.

The purpose of this article is to provide the basic model of Hofstede and Grays’ cultural values that relates the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s accounting value. This article reviews some studies that prove the model and develop the research in the future. There are some evidences that link the Hofstede’s cultural values studies with the auditor’s judgment and decisions by developing a framework that categorizes the auditor’s judgments and decisions are most likely influenced by cross-cultural differences. The categories include risk assessment, risk decisions and ethical judgments. Understanding the impact of cultural factors on the practice of accounting and financial disclosure is important to achieve the harmonization of international accounting. Deep understanding about how the local values may affect the accounting practices and their impacts on the financial disclosure are important to ensure the international comparability of financial reporting. Gray’s framework (1988) expects how the culture may affect accounting practices at the national level. One area of the future studies will examine the impact of cultural dimensions to the values of accounting, auditing and decision making.

The current article of Uttar Pradesh (UP) is about the ASHAs who are the daughters-in-law of a family that resides in the same community that they serve as the grassroots health worker since 2005 when the NRHM was introduced in the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states. UP is one such Empowered Action Group (EAG) state. The current study explores the actual responses of Recently Delivered Women (RDW) on their visits during the first month of their recent delivery. From the catchment area of each of the 250 ASHAs, two RDWs were selected who had a child in the age group of 3 to 6 months during the survey. The response profiles of the RDWs on the post- delivery first month visits are dwelled upon to evolve a picture representing the entire state of UP. The relevance of the study assumes significance as detailed data on the modalities of postnatal visits are available but not exclusively for the first month period of their recent delivery. The details of the post-delivery first month period related visits are not available even in large scale surveys like National Family Health Survey 4 done in 2015-16. The current study gives an insight in to these visits with a five-point approach i.e. type of personnel doing the visit, frequency of the visits, visits done in a particular week from among those four weeks separately for the three visits separately. The current study is basically regarding the summary of this Penta approach for the post- delivery one-month period.     The first month period after each delivery deals with 70% of the time of the postnatal period & the entire neonatal period. Therefore, it does impact the Maternal Mortality Rate & Ratio (MMR) & the Neonatal Mortality Rates (NMR) in India and especially in UP through the unsafe Maternal & Neonatal practices in the first month period after delivery. The current MM Rate of UP is 20.1 & MM Ratio is 216 whereas the MM ratio is 122 in India (SRS, 2019). The Sample Registration System (SRS) report also mentions that the Life Time Risk (LTR) of a woman in pregnancy is 0.7% which is the highest in the nation (SRS, 2019). This means it is very risky to give birth in UP in comparison to other regions in the country (SRS, 2019). This risk is at the peak in the first month period after each delivery. Similarly, the current NMR in India is 23 per 1000 livebirths (UNIGME,2018). As NMR data is not available separately for states, the national level data also hold good for the states and that’s how for the state of UP as well. These mortalities are the impact indicators and such indicators can be reduced through long drawn processes that includes effective and timely visits to RDWs especially in the first month period after delivery. This would help in making their post-natal & neonatal stage safe. This is the area of post-delivery first month visit profile detailing that the current article helps in popping out in relation to the recent delivery of the respondents.   A total of four districts of Uttar Pradesh were selected purposively for the study and the data collection was conducted in the villages of the respective districts with the help of a pre-tested structured interview schedule with both close-ended and open-ended questions.  The current article deals with five close ended questions with options, two for the type of personnel & frequency while the other three are for each of the three visits in the first month after the recent delivery of respondents. In addition, in-depth interviews were also conducted amongst the RDWs and a total 500 respondents had participated in the study.   Among the districts related to this article, the results showed that ASHA was the type of personnel who did the majority of visits in all the four districts. On the other hand, 25-40% of RDWs in all the 4 districts replied that they did not receive any visit within the first month of their recent delivery. Regarding frequency, most of the RDWs in all the 4 districts received 1-2 times visits by ASHAs.   Regarding the first visit, it was found that the ASHAs of Barabanki and Gonda visited less percentage of RDWs in the first week after delivery. Similarly, the second visit revealed that about 1.2% RDWs in Banda district could not recall about the visit. Further on the second visit, the RDWs responded that most of them in 3 districts except Gonda district did receive the second postnatal visit in 7-15 days after their recent delivery. Less than half of RDWs in Barabanki district & just more than half of RDWs in Gonda district received the third visit in 15-21 days period after delivery. For the same period, the majority of RDWs in the rest two districts responded that they had been entertained through a home visit.
