Abstract:
Fourteen Escherichia coli O157 strains isolated from cattle and pigs in Poland and in Germany were investigated, using PCR, for the genetic markers associated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Only two strains, both of cattle origin, were positive for the fliC (H7) gene and could be classified as O157 : H7. Nine isolates had stx shiga toxin genes, either stx1 (1 strain), stx2 (4 isolates) or both (4 strains). The stx2-carrying samples were further subtyped by PCR for the stx2c, stx2d, and stx2e toxin variants. It was shown that all but one stx2-positive bacteria possessed the stx2c Shiga toxin gene type and one stx2 STEC isolate had the stx2d virulence factor sub-type. The eaeA (intimin) gene was found in 9 strains (8 isolates from cattle and one strain from pigs); all of them harboured the genetic marker characteristic of the gamma intimin variant. The translocated intimin receptor (tir) gene was detected in 7 isolates tested and among them only one tir-positive strain was recovered from pigs. The ehly E. coli enterohemolysin gene was amplified in all but one strains obtained from cattle and only in one isolate of porcine origin. The genetic relatedness of the analysed E. coli O157 strains was examined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of chromosomal DNA digested with XbaI. Two distinct but related RFLP pattern clusters were observed: one with 9 strains (8 isolates of bovine origin and one strain obtained from pigs) and the other one comprises the remaining 5 E. coli isolates (4 of porcine origin and one strain recovered from cattle). The results suggest that pigs, besides cattle, may be a reservoir of E. coli O157 strains potentially pathogenic to humans. Moreover, epidemiologically unrelated isolates of the O157 serogroup, recovered from different animal species, showed a clonal relationship as demonstrated by the RFLP analysis.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia and a major factor in the porcine respiratory disease complex. A clear understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis does not exist, although it is clear that M. hyopneumoniae adheres to porcine ciliated epithelium by action of a protein called P97. Previous studies have shown variation in the gene encoding the P97 cilium adhesin in different strains of M. hyopneumoniae, but the extent of genetic variation among field strains across the genome is not known. Since M. hyopneumoniae is a worldwide problem, it is reasonable to expect that a wide range of genetic variability may exist given all of the different breeds and housing conditions. This variation may impact the overall virulence of a single strain. Using microarray technology, this study examined the potential variation of 14 field strains compared to strain 232, on which the array was based. Genomic DNA was obtained, amplified with TempliPhi, and labeled indirectly with Alexa dyes. After genomic hybridization, the arrays were scanned and data were analyzed using a linear statistical model. The results indicated that genetic variation could be detected in all 14 field strains but across different loci, suggesting that variation occurs throughout the genome. Fifty-nine percent of the variable loci were hypothetical genes. Twenty-two percent of the lipoprotein genes showed variation in at least one field strain. A permutation test identified a location in the M. hyopneumoniae genome where there is spatial clustering of variability between the field strains and strain 232.

Abstract:
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of open reading frame 5 was developed for typing of Czech strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The set of restriction enzymes Acc I, Hae II and SnaB I allowed the differentiation of heterogeneous Czech strains of PRRSV clustered separately in the phylogenetic tree. The high-passage strain V-502 (164) was also differentiated from its parent strain V-502. The same restriction enzymes could distinguish the European-type vaccine strains Porcilis PRRS and Pyrsvac-183, registered inCzechRepublic, from the Czech field isolates. The published ORF5 nucleotide sequences allowed us to presume that it will also be possible to distinguish most of European field strains from vaccine strains. PCR-based RFLP analysis can become a valuable tool in epidemiological studies of PRRSV inEurope.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to study the Iosipescu shear test and more precisely its ability to characterize the shear modulus of a carbone/epoxy composite material. The parameters influencing this identification are the fibre orientation, the geometry of the notch and the boundary conditions. Initially these parameters were studied through the finite element analysis of the shear test. Then, the measurement of the shear strains was carried out by traditional methods of measurement (strain gauges) but also by optical methods. These optical methods: the digital image correlation and the electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI); allow for various levels of loading, to reach a full-field measurement of the shear strain. This enabled us to study the strain distribution on the section between the two notches. The finite element model enabled us to study the parameters influencing the calculation of the shear modulus in comparison with strain gauges, image correlation and ESPI. This work makes it possible to conclude on optimal parameters for the Iosipescu test.

Abstract:
Mechanical stimuli have been shown to affect cell behaviour in terms of proliferation, apoptosis, and protein expression. In terms of cardiovascular diseases, for example, endothelial and smooth muscle cells exposed to an abnormal strain environment have been associated with atherosclerosis and in-stent restenosis. The FX-4000™ system (Flexercell® Tension Plus System, Flexcell Corporation, McKeesport, Pennsylvania, USA) is an in-vitro system that is widely used to strain cells in order to evaluate their response to strain. The precision, accuracy, and repeatability of the strains controlled by the system are therefore crucial to analyse and interpret the results confidently. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical behaviour of the FX-4000™ Flexercell® six-well-plate silicon membranes for static and dynamic cyclic strains by measuring the maximum peak strain and analysing the change in the membrane deformation after cyclic strain for 0 h, 24 h, and 48 h at different strain amplitudes and frequencies. The results of the tests conducted demonstrate notable differences between the measured strains of the membranes in comparison with both the inputs and the outputs of the Flexcell® software. The calibration method used by Flexcell® International assumes that the strain values determined for a given vacuum pressure on the silicone membranes are reliable for different waveforms and frequencies. The data reported here clearly indicate that this is not the case. The results indicate that a unique calibration pressure—strain curve must be determined for each test given the viscoelastic nature of the Flexcell system. A new method to calibrate the machine in house was applied using new pressure—strain equations. This new calibration method has been presented and should enable researchers using the Flexcell® machine to set up their cell experiments more accurately.

Abstract:
Significant progress towards a fundamental understanding of transformation toughening in composite zirconia ceramics was made possible by the application of a TEM contrast analysis technique for imaging elastic strains. Spherical zirconia particles dispersed in a large-grained alumina matrix were examined by 1 MeV HVEM to simulate bulk conditions. A thermal contraction mismatch arose on cooling from the processing temperature of 1500°C to RT. Tetragonal ZrO2 contracted amisotropically with α(ct) = 16 X 10-6/°C and α(at) = 11 X 10-6/°C and faster than Al2O3 which contracted relatively isotropically at α = 8 X 10-6/°C. A volume increase of +4.9% accompanied the transformation to monoclinic symmetry at room temperature. The elastic strain field surrounding a particle before transformation was 3-dimensionally correlated with the internal crystallographic orientation of the particle and with the strain field after transformation. The aim of this paper is to theoretically and experimentally describe this technique using the ZrO2 as an example and thereby to illustrate the experimental requirements Tor such an analysis in other systems.

Abstract:
We have studied the stationary solutions to the two-dimensional Euler's equation. A highly accurate scheme, based on boundary integral techniques was used in investigating these steady-state configurations. Bifurcation analysis on the solution of a uniform vortex patch in an externally applied strain field, yield new non-elliptical steady-state solutions apart from the elliptical structures reported by Moore & Saffman. The elliptical solutions correspond to the points on the primary solution branch and the non-elliptical solutions correspond to points on the bifurcation branches. We also observe the presence of a turning point indicating the finite resistance of these uniform vortices. Some of these new solutions suggest the possibility of coalescence between neighboring vortices. This leads to a new problem of considering a vortex pair in a strain field and computing their steady-state solutions. Numerical computations suggest that this guess is indeed correct, as we see the solution branch corresponding to the vortex pair intersect the bifurcation branch of the single vortex at a unique strain rate. Furthermore, looking at the profiles on the other bifurcation branches, it appears that merger of neighboring vortices is a recurring phenomenon.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references.
The primary aim of this thesis is to advance the theory of advanced locomotion mechanical counter pressure (MCP) spacesuits by studying the changes in the human body shape during joint motion. Two experiments take advantage of three-dimensional laser scan technology to measure the shape changes of the human body. The first experiment is an analysis of the surface area and volume of the thigh, knee, calf, and entire leg during knee flexion. The second experiment is an analysis of the full-field strain on the skin surface of the leg during knee flexion. A repeatable and quantitative technique for mapping the leg skin strain field is developed. The results of the algorithm indicate the magnitude of strain over the entire surface of the leg, as well as the direction of minimum leg skin stretching during knee flexion. For 88% of the leg surface, knee flexion causes skin strain between -0.3 and 0.3 (less than 30% contraction or extension). However, just below the patella, longitudinal strain is as high as 0.7, and at the knee hollow, it is as low as -0.6. Circumferential strain values are as high as 1.0 and 0.5 just below the patella and over the calf muscle, respectively, and along the anterior surface of the lower leg, they are as low as -0.7. The leg area, volume, and skin strain results lead to quantitative design requirements for highly mobile second skin spacesuits, and they inspire two prototype MCP leg sleeves: a hybrid urethane-foam bladder garment and a skintight nylon fiber lines of non-extension garment. These two prototypes are constructed and tested for mobility and skin surface pressure. Pressurization of the hybrid foam prototype inhibits leg mobility.
(cont.) However, the nylon lines of non-extension prototype shows promise as an advanced locomotion spacesuit design concept. During pressurization to leg surface pressure of 7.5 kPa (56 mmHg, 1.1 psi), the prototype preserves easy mobility to 90 degrees of knee joint flexion. Recommendations are made for improving its pressure production performance to the desired 30 kPa (222 mmHg, 4.3 psi) level.

Abstract:
The principal contribution of this dissertation is a theory of Strongly Orthotropic Continuum Mechanics that is derived entirely from an assertion of geometric strain indeterminacy. Implementable into the finite element method, it can resolve widespread kinematic misrepresentations and offer unique and purportedly exact strain-induced energies by removing the assumptions of strain tensor symmetry. This continuum theory births the proposal of a new class of physical tensors described as the Intrinsic Field Tensors capable of generalising the response of most classical mechanical metrics, a number of specialised formulations and the solutions shown to be kinematically intermediate. A series of numerical examples demonstrate Euclidean objectivity, material frame-indifference, patch test satisfaction, and agreement between the subsequent Material Principal Co-rotation and P??I??C decomposition methods that produce the intermediary stress/strain fields. The encompassing theory has wide applicability owing to its fundamental divergence from conventional mechanics, it offers non-trivial outcomes when applied to even very simple problems and its use of not the Eulerian, Lagrangian but the Intrinsic Frame generates previously unreported results in strongly orthotropic continua.

Abstract:
Este estudo teve como objetivo detectar e caracterizar molecularmente isolados de campo do vírus da laringotraqueíte infecciosa (VLTI) detectados de aves comerciais com e sem sintomatologia da doença de diferentes regiões do Estado de São Paulo. O estudo incluiu amostras coletadas durante e após o primeiro surto epidêmico da laringotraqueíte infecciosa (LTI) no Brasil, região de Bastos, e de outras localidades durante o período de 2002-2008. A caracterização molecular foi realizada através da técnica de polimorfismo do comprimento de fragmentos de restrição (RFLP) de produtos da reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR) dos genes da glicoproteína E, G, proteína quinase (TK) e da proteína reguladora da transcrição (ICP4), assim como pela análise de seqüências dos genes TK e ICP4. Para seqüenciamento do gene ICP4 foram desenvolvidas duas reações de PCR que amplificam dois diferentes fragmentos do gene ICP4. As técnicas de PCR-RFLP e seqüenciamento de DNA mostraram resultados idênticos, diferenciando os isolados de campo das cepas vacinais de origem de cultivo celular (TCO) e de embrião de galinha (CEO). Os resultados mostraram que o surto clínico na região de Bastos foi causado por uma cepa não vacinal e de alta virulência (cepa Bastos), embora também tenha sido possível detectar dois isolados relacionados à cepa CEO circulando durante o surto. Verificou-se que a cepa causadora do surto severo na região de Bastos continua circulando na região apesar do uso de vacinas atenuadas. Além disso, foram isoladas amostras relacionadas às cepas CEO e à cepa Bastos apartir de granjas comerciais de poedeiras localizadas fora da região de Bastos e que estão envolvidas em quadros clínicos da doença. Este estudo mostra (1): a persistência do vírus selvagem de campo na região de Bastos (cepa Bastos) apesar das medidas de controle e do uso de vacinas atenuadas, (2): a disseminação da cepa Bastos e das cepas vacinais CEO para outras regiões, e (3): a eficacia da estratégia padronizada neste estudo para a caracterização e diferenciação de isolados de campo e de cepas vacinais.
The objective of this study was the molecular detection and characterization of field isolates of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) detected from commercial chickens with and without clinical signs of the disease from regions of the São Paulo state. The study included samples collected during and after of the first epidemic infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) outbreak in Brazil, Bastos region, and from other regions during 2002-2008. The molecular characterization was developed by restriction fragment length polymorphic analysis (RFLP) of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of glycoprotein E, G, thymidine kinase (TK) and regulatory protein of transcription (ICP4) gene, and by sequence analysis of TK and ICP4 gene. For ICP4 gene sequencing, two PCR assays have been developed for amplification of two different fragments of ICP4 gene. The PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing techniques showed identical results, they could differentiate the field isolates from vaccine strains, tissue culture origin (TCO) and chicken embryo origin (CEO). The results showed that the severe outbreak in Bastos region was caused by a non-vaccine and virulent strain (Bastos strain); however it was possible to detect two isolates closely related to the CEO vaccine strain circulating during the outbreak. This study showed that the strain, which it caused the severe outbreak in Bastos region continue circulating in these region despite of the use of attenuate vaccines. In addition, the present research showed that isolates related to CEO and Bastos strains are circulating in commercial layer flocks located outside the Bastos region, and were involving in clinical cases of the disease. This study shows (1) the persistence of the wild field strain in Bastos region (Bastos strain) despite of the control measures and the use of attenuate vaccines, (2) the dissemination of the Bastos and CEO strains to other regions, and (3) the efficacy of the strategy standardized in this study to characterization and differentiation of field isolates and vaccine strain.

Abstract:
Despite the global licensure of two live-attenuated rotavirus vaccines, Rotarix® and RotaTeq®, rotavirus remains the major cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in young mammals and the need for further development of additional rotavirus vaccines, especially vaccines effective against regional strains in developing country settings, is increasing. The design and formulation of new effective multivalent rotavirus vaccines is complicated by the wide rotavirus strain diversity. Novel rotavirus strains emerge periodically due to the propensity of rotaviruses to evolve using mechanisms such as point mutation, genome segment reassortment, genome segment recombination and interspecies transmission. Mutations occurring within the primer binding regions targeted by the current commonly employed sequence-dependent genotyping techniques lead to difficulties in genotyping novel mutant rotavirus strains. Therefore, use of sequence-independent techniques coupled with online rotavirus genotyping tools will help to understand the complete epidemiology of the circulating strains which, in turn, is vital for developing intervention measures such as vaccine and anti-viral therapies. In this study, sequence-independent cDNA synthesis that uses a single set of oligonucleotides that do not require prior sequence knowledge of the rotavirus strains, 454® pyrosequencing, and an online rotavirus genotyping tool, RotaC, were used to swiftly characterise the whole genome of rotaviruses. The robustness of this approach was demonstrated in characterising the complete genetic constellations and evolutionary origin of selected human rotavirus strains that emerged in the past two decades worldwide, human rotavirus strains frequently detected in Africa, and the whole genomes of some common strains frequently detected in bovine species. Most of the characterised strains emerged either through intra- or interspecies genome segment reassortment processes. The methods used in this study also allowed determination of the whole consensus genome sequence of multiple rotavirus variants present in a single stool sample and the elucidation of the evolutionary mechanisms that explained their origin. The 454® pyrosequence-generated data revealed evidence of intergenotype rotavirus genome segment recombination between the genome segments 6 (VP6), 8 (NSP2) and 10 (NSP4) of Wa-like and DS-1-like origin. The use of next generation sequencing technology combined with sequence-independent amplification of the rotavirus genomes allowed the determination of the consensus nucleotide sequence for each of the genome segments of the selected study strains directly from stool sample. The consensus nucleotide sequences of the genome segments encoding VP2, VP4, VP6 and VP7 of some of the study strains were codon optimised for insect cell expression and used to generate recombinant baculoviruses. The Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system was used to generate chimaeric rotavirus virus-like particles (RV-VLPs). These chimaeric RV-VLPs contained inner capsids (VP2 and VP6) derived from a South African RVA/Humanwt/ ZAF/GR10924/1999/G9P[6] strain, on to which outer capsid layer proteins composed of various combinations of VP4 and VP7 were assembled. The outer capsid proteins were derived from the dsRNA of G2, G8, G9 or G12 strains associated with either P[4], P[6] or P[8] genotypes that were directly extracted from human stool faecal specimens. The structures of these chimaeric RV-VLPs were morphologically evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the size and morphology of the particles, doublelayered (dRV-VLPs) and triple-layered RV-VLPs (tRV-VLPs) were produced. Recombinant rotavirus proteins readily assembled into dRV-VLPs, whereas approximately 10 – 30% of the assembled RV-VLPs from insect expressed recombinant VP2/6/7/4 were chimaeric tRVVLPs. These RV-VLPs will be evaluated in future animal studies as potential non-live rotavirus vaccine candidates. The novel approach of producing RV-VLPs introduced in this study, namely by using the consensus nucleotide sequence derived from dsRNA extracted directly from clinical specimens, should speed up vaccine research and development by bypassing the need to adapt the viruses to tissue culture and circumventing some other problems associated with cell culture adaptation as well. Thus, it is now possible to generate RV-VLPs for evaluation as non-live vaccine candidates for any human or animal field rotavirus strain.

Abstract:
Reducing supply voltage is a promising way to address the power dissipation in nano-electronic circuits. However, the fundamental lower limit of subthreshold slope (SS) within metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is a major obstacle to further scaling the operation voltage without degrading ON/OFF-ratio in today's integrated circuits. Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) benefit from steep switching characteristics due to the quantum-mechanical tunneling injection of carriers from source to channel, rather than by conventional thermionic emission in MOSFETs. TFETs based on group III-V compound semiconductor and Ge heterostructures further improve the ON-state current and reduce SS due to the low bandgap energies and smaller carrier tunneling mass. The mixed arsenide/antimonide (As/Sb) InxGa1-xAs/GaAsySb1-y and Ge/InxGa1-xAs heterostructures allow a wide range of bandgap energies and various band alignments depending on the alloy compositions in the source and channel materials. Band alignments at source/channel heterointerface can be well modulated by carefully controlling the compositions of the InxGa1-xAs or GaAsySb1-y. In particular, this research systematically investigate the development and optimization of low-power TFETs using mixed As/Sb and Ge/InxGa1-xAs based heterostructures including: basic working principles, design considerations, material growth, interface engineering, material characterization, band alignment determination, device fabrication, device performance investigation, and high-temperature reliability. A comprehensive study of TFETs using mixed As/Sb and Ge/InxGa1-xAs based heterostructures shows superior structural properties and distinguished device performances, both of which indicate the mixed As/Sb and Ge/InxGa1-xAs based TFET as a promising option for high performance, low standby power and energy efficient logic circuit application.

Abstract:
<p>Bridge superstructures have to be designed to permit thermal and live load strains to occur without unintended restraints. Bridge bearings have to transfer forces from the superstructure to the substructure, allowing all movements in directions defined by the designer. The two functions -transfer the loads and allow movements only in the required directions for a long service time with little maintenance - are not so easy to fulfil. Differ­ent bearings for different purposes and requirements have been developed so, that the bridge designer can choose the most suitable bearing.</p> <p>By the movement of a bridge, gaps are necessary between superstructure and substructure. Expansion joints fill the gaps, allowing traffic loads tobe carried and allowing all expected displacements with low resistance. Ex­pansion joints should provide a smooth transition, avoid noise emission as far as possible and withstand all mechanical actions and chemical attacks (de-icing) for a long time. A simple exchange of all wearing parts and of the entire expansion joint should be possible.</p> <p>The present volume provides a comprehensive survey of arrangement, construction and installation of bearings and expansion joints for bridges including calculation of bearing reactions and movements, analysis and design, inspection and maintenance. A long list of references deals with the subjects but also with aspects in the vicinity of bearings and expansion joints.</p> <p>This book is aimed at both students and practising engineers, working in the field of bridge design, construction, analysis, inspection, maintenance and repair.</p>

Abstract:
A method for full field measurement of strain (and strain rate) in split Hopkinson bar experiments (compression, tensile, and shear) is introduced. The measurements are done by using the Aramis three-dimensional image correlation system. The system uses two digital high-speed cameras that provide a synchronized stereo view of the specimen. Depending on the number of pixels used, the system is capable or recording frames at a rate of up to about 110,000 per second. Before conducting a test, a random dot pattern is applied to the surface of the specimen. The image correlation algorithm uses the dot pattern to define a field of overlapping virtual gage boxes. The 3-D coordinates of the center of each gage box is determined at each frame, interpolated to better than 1/100 of a pixel. The coordinates are then used for calculating the deformations, strains, and strain rates throughout the surface of the specimen.

Full text
Abstract:
Realistic and accurate modeling of the strains developed in concrete coated pipelines is an important objective to offshore pipeline industry. This is because of the acceptance of the strain-based design methods and also the increasing demand on pipelines to operate under harsher environments/loading conditions. The problem has several sources of nonlinearity, namely: material plasticity, concrete cracking and crushing and concrete slippage on the steel pipe. In this paper, a framework and procedure for finite element (FE) modeling of concrete coated pipelines is presented and verified against test results available in literature. The mechanics of strain concentration at the Field Joint (FJ), where the coating has an abrupt discontinuity is described and studied via the verified FE model. These aspects are all described and modeled appropriately using the general purpose FE software ABAQUS, resulting in a realistic and accurate FE model which predicts the strain and stress distribution in the steel, concrete coating and the anticorrosion layer. Output results, presented in the form of variation of moment versus strain, longitudinal distribution of the axial strains, the maximum FJ strains, strain concentration factor as a function of global strain and relative slippage of concrete coating are reported and verified with comparison to test data. Good agreements, both in trend and also quantities are observed, thereby verifying the integrity of the framework suited for the further development, which would include a parametric study with the aim of developing practical design equations. Discussion on the circumferential distribution of shear stresses in the anticorrosion layer is also presented. FE results show a constant shear stress distributed nearly all along the circumference, in concert with the test results.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the desired properties of actuators is large actuation strains, which also correlates with large work output per volume. This property becomes especially important in micro systems where small devices are required to produce relatively large strokes. The existing mechanisms for electromechanical actuation are limited to small actuation strains and hence recent years have seen a variety of attempts at achieving larger strain actuation. One such attempt, basing on 90 degree domain switching in ferroelectric crystals subjected to compression load and cyclic electric field, has recently been demonstrated. In this presentation we explore the dynamics of 90 degree domain switching at high frequencies. For this purpose a novel ferroelectric actuator and experimental system were developed, which allow measuring the response of a BaTiO3 single crystal to a combination of constant tensile stress and cyclic electric field at frequencies of up to 100 kHz. Experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations basing on a new model which considers the motion of discrete domain walls. Current results exhibit actuation strains of up to 0.8% (an order of magnitude larger than piezoelectric strains) and no decrease of actuation strains up to several kHz.

Abstract:
This paper presents and reviews an online methodology which characterizes materials using full-field strain measurement. The proposed methodology utilizes the principle of conservation of energy and formulates both the deterministic technique based on the pseudoinverse analysis and the stochastic technique based on the Kalman filter in terms of recursive linear equations. The methodology further describes the derivation the average Frobenius norm and the differential entropy as recursively computable measures enabling the evaluation of the well-posedness of the material characterization problem as well as the uncertainty of the identified constants. Comparative studies have identified that the deterministic identification is a particular case of the stochastic identification, whilst the adequacy and significance of both the average Frobenius norm and the differential entropy was reconfirmed.

Abstract:
This report outlines in detail the situation of rural Youths Neither in Employment, nor in Education or Training (NEET) aged between 15 and 34 years old, over the last decade (2009-2019) in Bulgaria. To do this, the report utilised indicators of: youth population; you-th employment and unemployment; education; and, NEETs distribution. The characteri-sation of all indicators adopted the degree of urbanisation as a central criterion, enabling proportional comparisons between rural areas, towns and suburbs, cities and the whole country. These analyses are further divided into age subgroups and, where possible, into sex groups for greater detail. The statistical procedures adopted across the different selected dimensions involve: des-criptive longitudinal analysis; using graphical displays (e.g., overlay line charts); and, the calculation of proportional absolute and relative changes between 2009 and 2013, 2013 and 2019, and finally 2009 and 2019. These time ranges were chosen to capture the indi-cators evolution before and after the economic crisis which hit European countries. All data was extracted from Eurostat public datasets. The analyses show that between 2009 and 2019 the rural youth population aged 15 to 24 years has been increasing in Bulgaria. Although the youth unemployment rate is higher in cities, rural areas faced more difficulties in overcoming the effects of the crisis, particularly among young adults aged over 25 years. In the field of education, however, there was an absolute and relative reduction in the proportion of young people with lower qualifications compared with young people in early school leavers in rural areas between 2009-2019, even though it still remains well above the 10% target defined by the Europe 2020 strate-gy. Finally, the proportion of NEETs in Bulgaria is higher in rural areas, in all age groups with available data, compared to cities and towns and suburbs, thereby revealing territorial inequalities in access to employment and education opportunities

This report outlines in detail the situation of rural Youths Neither in Employment, nor in Education or Training (NEET) aged between 15 and 34 years old, over the last decade (2009-2019) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To do this, the report utilised indicators of: you-th population; youth employment and unemployment; education; and, NEETs distribution. The characterisation of all indicators adopted the degree of urbanisation as a central cri-terion, enabling proportional comparisons between rural areas, towns and suburbs, cities and the whole country.

These time ranges were chosen to capture the in-dicators evolution before and after the economic crisis which hit European countries. All data was extracted from ILOSTAT explorer public datasets.The analyses show that between 2009 and 2019 youth population in both rural and urban areas decreased. In general, a strong decline in youth population was observed within all categories, with the most significant decrease within the age group 25-29 (21.57%) and 15-19 (20.35%). Youth employment has tended to decrease overall, and the decrease is stron-ger within rural regions. Interestingly, youth unemployment has also tended to decrease, and a significantly higher share of unemployed youth is from rural regions. A somewhat similar trend is observed in the field of education where the number of those enrolled significantly decreased during the observed period for all education levels in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The ESLET rate tended to decrease, while the proportion of the female po-pulation tends to have higher ESLET levels compared to the male population. However, the ESLET rate is still below the 10% target defined by the Europe 2020 strategy. Finally, the proportion of NEETs in Bosnia and Herzegovina is higher in rural areas, while in general the tendency has been for it to decrease during the observed period.
