The prevalence of hepatitis C among healthcare workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of viral hepatitis C (HCV) infection among healthcare workers (HCWs) compared to the general population. A systematic search for the years 1989-2014 was conducted in the Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases. Studies on hepatitis C in HCWs were included if they incorporated either a control group or reference data for the general population. The study quality was classified as high, moderate or low. Pooled effect estimates were calculated to determine the odds of occupational infection. Heterogeneity between studies was analysed using the χ(2) test (p<0.10) and quantified using the I(2) test. 57 studies met our criteria for inclusion and 44 were included in the meta-analysis. Analysis of high and moderate quality studies showed a significantly increased OR for HCV infection in HCWs relative to control populations, with a value of 1.6 (95% CI 1.03 to 2.42). Stratification by study region gave an OR of 2.1 in low prevalence countries; while stratification by occupational groups gave an increased prevalence for medical (OR 2.2) and for laboratory staff (OR 2.2). The OR for professionals at high risk of blood contact was 2.7. The pooled analysis indicates that the prevalence of infection is significantly higher in HCWs than in the general population. The highest prevalence was observed among medical and laboratory staff. Prospective studies that focus on HCW-specific activity and personal risk factors for HCV infection are needed
Projected interiorities or the production of subjectivity through spatial and performative means
Get PDFEven those who consider themselves lucky to have escaped trauma, long-term illness and death, have experienced radical changes to their conception of life in its relation to public and private domains due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When public space turned into a dangerous realm, private interiors were assigned a new role and with these shifts, also new questions about the relation of interiority to any type of exteriority emerged. The first four contributions in this 'Projected Interiorities' issue of Technoetic Arts (TA) reflect from an architectural and urban point of view on the conception of the public and private, their past, present and future. Yet, the pandemic contributed more widely to a re-evaluation of interiority, not least because the public and private realms seemingly coalesced via digital processes. While this journal issue cannot cover all these questions, it indicates the range of the pandemic turn in thought, collecting contributions from theory and practice, including architecture, art, philosophy and literary studies. With authors of a variety of disciplinary backgrounds based in China, India, Norway, France, the United Kingdom and the United States, this issue of TA covers not only a multiplicity of methodological approaches but also diverse regional and cultural perspectives on the idea of 'Projected Interiorities'

Wirtschaftliche Dynamik und Innovation in der Hauptstadtregion Washington D. C.
No full textHauptstädte wie Washington D. C. spielen nicht nur für die politische und kulturelle Identität eines Landes eine wichtige Rolle. Sie entwickeln sich auch zunehmend zu dynamischen Wirtschaftsräumen mit einem spezifischen regionalen Innovationssystem. Dieser Beitrag stellt das regionale Innovationssystem der Hauptstadt der USA vor. D abei wird auf die Dynamik des Systems eingegangen, die aus dem öffentlichen Beschaffungswesen, den Interaktionen zwischen wissensintensiven Dienstleistungsunternehmen und Regierungsbehörden sowie der Vernetzung weiterer wirtschaftlicher Akteure entsteht. Zudem werden Beispiele aus der Wirtschaftsförderung und Stadtentwicklung genannt, die die wirtschaftliche Dynamik von Washington D. C. voranbringen sollen
