Abstract:

A survey on national bibliographies was carried out among member countries of the Conference of Directors of National Libraries in 2001, as a follow up to Holley's 1996 survey. All parts of the world are represented among the 52 responses. The main findings are that legal deposit legislation still emphasizes textual material. Many agencies are currently revising their legislation to include more types of material, in particular electronic documents. Print remains the preferred format for national bibliographies but more and more agencies are offering Internet access. More than half of the agencies are currently undertaking or planning retrospective conversion programmes.

Abstract:

Οι εκλογικές μετατοπίσεις εκφράζονται με ακρίβεια με τη χρήση πινάκων ροών ψηφοφόρων, ανάμεσα σε διαδοχικές εκλογές. Οι πίνακες αυτοί δίνουν τη δυνατότητα να διακρίνουμε τον τρόπο της εκλογικής επιλογής των ψηφοφόρων και το βαθμό της απήχησης των κομμάτων. Στο άρθρο σχολιάζονται και ερμηνεύονται με λεπτομέρεια, οι ροές ψηφοφόρων για την εκλογική μεταβολή 1996-2000 και αναδεικνύονται όψεις της εκλογικής συμπεριφοράς. Εφαρμόζεται μια νέα για τα ελληνικά δεδομένα μέθοδος εκτίμησης επιμέρους πινάκων ροών για κάθε εκλογική περιφέρεια. Επιχειρείται η γεωγραφική ανάλύση των ροών των εκλογικών περιφερειών, η οποία αναδεικνύει την ύπαρξη γεωγραφικών σχηματισμών και συσχετίσεων των μετατοπίσεων με την προηγούμενη εκλογική επιρροή των κομμάτων. Γίνονται εμφανείς τύποι μετατοπίσεων που ποικίλουν ανάμεσα στα κόμματα και ανάμεσα στις εκλογικές περιφέρειες, τεκμηριώνοντας τον σημαντικό ρόλο που παίζει η γεωγραφική διάσταση στην ανάλυση της εκλογικής συμπεριφοράς.

Abstract:

13527 Background: A decline in overall cancer death rate was observed in the early 1990s after more than six decades of increase in cancer mortality. Effective prevention, screening and early detection as well as improved treatment strategies may be influencing factors. The aim of this study is to compare the overall survival of patients (pts) with CRC in two different years using our prospective regularly updated register database. Methods: Patients diagnosed of CRC during 1996 and 2000 were included in the study. To analyse the relation between variables the exact Fisher test was used. Survival curves were constructed according to the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log rank analysis. Analyses were performed using the SPSS package. Results: 289 pts in 1996 and 380 in 2000 were included. Demographic data and tumour characteristics were similar in both groups. 42% of pts in 1996 and 56% in 2000 had received chemotherapy (ChT) (p<0.05). In adjuvant setting, 41.8% of patients with stage II-III colon cancer received ChT in 1996 and 57.5% in 2000 (p=0.019). ChT schedules for advanced CRC included Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan in 23% of ChT in 1996 and in 68% in 2000 (p<0.005). The number of palliative ChT lines was significantly higher in 2000 (p<0.05). Radiotherapy was administered as part of rectal cancer therapy to 48% of pts 1996 and to 60% in 2000 (p=0.05). From those, preoperative radiotherapy was administered to 21% of pts in 1996 and to 66% in 2000 (p<0.05). 4.1% of all pts were lost of follow up. With a median follow up of 104.5 months (m) for 1996 and 56.3 m for 2000, the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 45% and 61.6% respectively (p<0.001). The 5-year disease free survival (DFS) of pts with radical surgery was 73% and 81% respectively (p=0.09). The median survival of pts with radical surgery that relapse during follow up was 13.4 m in 1996 and 17.6 m in 2000 (p<0.04). There were statistical significant differences in OS between 1996 and 2000 in tumour site, stage II-III cancer and males, not in females. DFS for stages II-III was better in 2000, but no significant differences were observed. Conclusions: A positive CRC mortality trend was observed. The influencing factors were related with the use of ChT as an adjuvant treatment and the addition of new drugs in colon cancer therapies as well as preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

We surveyed T serotypes and emm genotypes of Streptococcus pyogenes isolates from streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS) patients. T1 (emm1) remained dominant through 1992 to 2000, but the dominant T3 (emm3.1) strains from 1992 to 1995 disappeared during 1996–2000. Strains of several emm genotypes emerged during 1996–2000, indicating alterations in the prevalent strains causing TSLS.

Abstract:

In the Slovak&nbsp;Republic during the years 1996&ndash;2000, total 30 278 blood samples from sheep and 4 756 from goats were examined serologically by the method of a complement fixation. The IgG antibodies against&nbsp;Chlamydia psittaci&nbsp;in sheep and goats according to individual years were as follows: 1996 &ndash; 6.37% sheep/3.94% goats, 1997 &ndash; 9.25%/10.02%, 1998 &ndash; 9.57%/2.96%, 1999 &ndash; 7.91%/3.69%, 2000 &ndash; 10.99%/6.08%, respectively. In most clinically healthy animals, the low levels of IgG antibodies in dilution of 1 : 16 to 1 : 32 were detected. In sheep during the years of 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 the high levels of IgG antibodies 1 : 256 to 1 : 1 024 were caught unambiguously testify to the chlamydial abortion in sheep. In goats, the high titres were caught in 1997 and 2000 &ndash; 1 :&nbsp;&nbsp;256 to 1 : 512, also confirm the chlamydial aetiology of the infectious process.

Abstract:

The long-term changes of the VIRGO radiometers have been re-analyzed in detail in order to resolve the puzzle of the early increase of the total solar irradiance (TSI) as observed by VIRGO. The exposure dependent changes can be described by a model which is based on a combination of an early increase of the sensitivity and a degradation with time which is modulated by the dose of solar UV radiation each detector receives. After correcting for the exposure-dependent behaviour both operational radiometers show an increase of their sensitivity which depends only on the time they are switched-on. After removing this increase the VIRGO TSI remains more or less constant during the minimum period of solar activity and reaches the solar maximum at levels comparable to the ones of former maxima.

Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction:The [US] Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Act (the WMD Act of 1996) heralded a new wave of spending by the federal government on counter-terrorism efforts. Between 1996 and 2000, the United States of America (US) federal government allocated large sums of funding to the States for bioterrorism preparedness. Distribution of these funds between institutions involved in first-responder care (e.g., fire and safety departments) and hospitals was uneven. It is unknown whether these additional funds had an impact on the level of hospital preparedness for managing mass casualties involving hazardous materials at the local level, including potential terrorist attacks with chemical agents.Objectives:(1) To compare 1996 and 2000 measures of preparedness among hospitals of a major US metropolitan area for dealing with hazardous material casualties, including terrorism that involved the use of weapons of mass destruction; and (2) To provide guidance for the improvement of emergency preparedness and response in US hospitals.Methods:In July 1996 and again in July 2000, 21 hospitals in one major US city were surveyed by questionnaire. A survey was used to assess the amounts of antidote stocks held available for treatment of casualties caused by toxic chemical agents and institutional response capabilities including the number of showers for decontaminating patients, the level of worker protection, and the number of staff trained to decontaminate patients.Results:Hospital preparedness for treating and decontaminating patients exposed to toxic chemical agents was inadequate in 1996 and in 2000. From 1996 to 2000, there was no statistically significant change in the lack of hospital preparedness for stocking of nerve agent and cyanide antidotes. Capacity for decontamination of patients, which included appropriate hazardous material infrastructure and trained staff, generally was unimproved from 1996 to 2000 with the exception of an increase of nearly 30% in hospitals with at least one decontamination shower facility.Conclusion:Hospitals surveyed in this study were poorly prepared to manage chemical emergency incidents, including terrorism. This lack of hospital preparedness did not change significantly between 1996 and 2000 despite increased funds allocated to bioterrorism preparedness at the local level.

Abstract:

The Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) has been used to document and track an achievement gap between white and minority students in Texas. Some educators have credited the TAAS with fueling a drive to close the achievement gap while others suggest that TAAS scores may be misleading because of factors such as score inflation and a possible ceiling effect. The purpose of this study was to analyze the gap in mathematics achievement for eighth grade students. The study compared TAAS and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test results to determine if the achievement gap between white, Hispanic, and African-American Students had narrowed between 1996 and 2000. Results indicate that TAAS mean scores increased significantly for all three ethnic groups between 1996 and 2000. Comparison of the TAAS test score frequency distributions for each ethnic group indicated that white students' scores shifted from the middle to the upper portion of the test score range while minority students' scores shifted from the lower to the middle and higher score range. Both white and minority students' TAAS test score distributions were significantly more negatively skewed in 2000 than in 1996. Comparisons between white and minority students' TAAS scores showed that white students had significantly higher scores than either Hispanic or African-American students in both 1996 and 2000. Comparison of mean score differences in 1996 and 2000 indicated that the achievement gap between white and minority students had narrowed. NAEP scores increased significantly from 1996 to 2000 for Hispanic students, but not for white or African-American students. However, test score distribution patterns showed small positive changes for all three ethnic groups. Comparisons between ethnic groups indicated that there were significant differences between white and minority students' scores in both 1996 and 2000. Comparison of mean score differences in 1996 and 2000 indicated that the achievement gap between Hispanic white students had narrowed slightly but that there was no change in the achievement gap between white and African-American students. Analysis of the TAAS test score distribution patterns indicated the likelihood that a ceiling effect had impacted students' scores. The evidence for a ceiling effect was strongest for white students. In 2000, 60.4% of white students had a TAAS score that fell in the top 10% of the score range. In contrast, there was no evidence of a ceiling effect for the NAEP. Mean score gains on the TAAS are only partially substantiated by the NAEP data. Furthermore, there is a very strong possibility that a ceiling effect artificially restricted the 2000 TAAS scores for white students and created the illusion that the achievement gap between minority and white students had been narrowed.
