Q: How to hide Cancel button in date picker in Xamarin.Forms I have situation where the date picker should not popup with the cancel option. The reason behind is, user has to select the required date from the date picker. Here the date picker bydefault taking today's date so, Date selected event will not hit when user open datepicker and clicks Ok. If I use Unfocuss event it is hitting even when user clicks on cancel too. So, What I am thinking is to hide cancel button as there is no any direct event for Cancel or Ok for datepicker in xamarin.forms.
Could someone help me with this please .

A: You could use CustomRenderer to achieve this effect,find the Cancel button,then set its Visibility property to Gone.like below:
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Xamarin.Forms.DatePicker), typeof(MyDatePicker))]
namespace YourNamepace.Droid
{
   class MyDatePicker:DatePickerRenderer, IOnDateSetListener
   {

      private DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog;
      private Context context;
      private DateTime currently;

      public MyDatePicker(Context context) : base(context)
      {
        this.context = context;
      }

      protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Xamarin.Forms.DatePicker> e)
      {
        base.OnElementChanged(e);
        currently = DateTime.Now;
        this.Control.Click += Control_Click;

      }

      private void Control_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {

        datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(context,this,currently.Year,currently.Month - 1, currently.Day);
        datePickerDialog.Show();
        Android.Widget.Button cancel = datePickerDialog.GetButton((int)DialogButtonType.Negative);
        cancel.Visibility = ViewStates.Gone;
      }

      public void OnDateSet(Android.Widget.DatePicker view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth)
      {
        DateTime selectedDate = new DateTime(year, month + 1, dayOfMonth);
        currently = selectedDate;
        Control.Text = selectedDate.ToShortDateString();
      }

 }

Characteristics and outcomes of emergency department patients with a foreign body that entered through the ear, nose or mouth: a 10-year retrospective analysis
J H Lee, S J Kim
Journal: The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 135 / Issue 12 / December 2021
Foreign bodies in the ear, nose and throat commonly necessitate emergency department visits.
This retrospective study was conducted on emergency department visits from January 2010 to December 2019 to determine characteristics and clinical prognoses of ENT patients. Patients were divided into three groups according to foreign-body entry route; patient characteristics and clinical findings were compared between groups.
Of 676 142 emergency department visits, 10 454 were because of ENT-related foreign bodies. The mean (± standard deviation) age of subjects was 24.0 (± 23.4) years, and 5176 patients were male (49.5 per cent). The most common entry route was the mouth (74.5 per cent). Most patients (97.1 per cent) were discharged after emergency treatment. Intensive care and in-hospital mortality occurred only in the mouth group.
Clinical findings differ depending on foreign-body entry route. After emergency treatment, most patients were discharged; some cases presented serious complications.

To estimate population-based rates and to describe clinical characteristics of hospital-acquired (HA) influenza.
Cross-sectional study.
US Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) during 2011–2012 through 2018–2019 seasons.
Patients were identified through provider-initiated or facility-based testing. HA influenza was defined as a positive influenza test date and respiratory symptom onset >3 days after admission. Patients with positive test date >3 days after admission but missing respiratory symptom onset date were classified as possible HA influenza.
Among 94,158 influenza-associated hospitalizations, 353 (0.4%) had HA influenza. The overall adjusted rate of HA influenza was 0.4 per 100,000 persons. Among HA influenza cases, 50.7% were 65 years of age or older, and 52.0% of children and 95.7% of adults had underlying conditions; 44.9% overall had received influenza vaccine prior to hospitalization. Overall, 34.5% of HA cases received ICU care during hospitalization, 19.8% required mechanical ventilation, and 6.7% died. After including possible HA cases, prevalence among all influenza-associated hospitalizations increased to 1.3% and the adjusted rate increased to 1.5 per 100,000 persons.
Over 8 seasons, rates of HA influenza were low but were likely underestimated because testing was not systematic. A high proportion of patients with HA influenza were unvaccinated and had severe outcomes. Annual influenza vaccination and implementation of robust hospital infection control measures may help to prevent HA influenza and its impacts on patient outcomes and the healthcare system.

We present the data and initial results from the first pilot survey of the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU), observed at 944 MHz with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. The survey covers $270 \,\mathrm{deg}^2$ of an area covered by the Dark Energy Survey, reaching a depth of 25–30 $\mu\mathrm{Jy\ beam}^{-1}$ rms at a spatial resolution of $\sim$ 11–18 arcsec, resulting in a catalogue of $\sim$ 220 000 sources, of which $\sim$ 180 000 are single-component sources. Here we present the catalogue of single-component sources, together with (where available) optical and infrared cross-identifications, classifications, and redshifts. This survey explores a new region of parameter space compared to previous surveys. Specifically, the EMU Pilot Survey has a high density of sources, and also a high sensitivity to low surface brightness emission. These properties result in the detection of types of sources that were rarely seen in or absent from previous surveys. We present some of these new results here.

In view of the increasing complexity of both cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and patients in the current era, practice guidelines, by necessity, have become increasingly specific. This document is an expert consensus statement that has been developed to update and further delineate indications and management of CIEDs in pediatric patients, defined as ≤21 years of age, and is intended to focus primarily on the indications for CIEDs in the setting of specific disease categories. The document also highlights variations between previously published adult and pediatric CIED recommendations and provides rationale for underlying important differences. The document addresses some of the deterrents to CIED access in low- and middle-income countries and strategies to circumvent them. The document sections were divided up and drafted by the writing committee members according to their expertise. The recommendations represent the consensus opinion of the entire writing committee, graded by class of recommendation and level of evidence. Several questions addressed in this document either do not lend themselves to clinical trials or are rare disease entities, and in these instances recommendations are based on consensus expert opinion. Furthermore, specific recommendations, even when supported by substantial data, do not replace the need for clinical judgment and patient-specific decision-making. The recommendations were opened for public comment to Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES) members and underwent external review by the scientific and clinical document committee of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the science advisory and coordinating committee of the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC). The document received endorsement by all the collaborators and the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), the Indian Heart Rhythm Society (IHRS), and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS). This document is expected to provide support for clinicians and patients to allow for appropriate CIED use, appropriate CIED management, and appropriate CIED follow-up in pediatric patients.

Seasonal variation of patulous Eustachian tube diagnoses using climatic and national health insurance data
S Lee, S-W Choi, J Kim, H M Lee, S-J Oh, S-K Kong
Journal: The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 135 / Issue 8 / August 2021
This study aimed to analyse if there were any associations between patulous Eustachian tube occurrence and climatic factors and seasonality.
The correlation between the monthly average number of patients diagnosed with patulous Eustachian tube and climatic factors in Seoul, Korea, from January 2010 to December 2016, was statistically analysed using national data sets.
The relative risk for patulous Eustachian tube occurrence according to season was significantly higher in summer and autumn, and lower in winter than in spring (relative risk (95 per cent confidence interval): 1.334 (1.267–1.404), 1.219 (1.157–1.285) and 0.889 (0.840–0.941) for summer, autumn and winter, respectively). Temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity had a moderate positive (r = 0.648), negative (r = –0.601) and positive (r = 0.492) correlation with the number of patulous Eustachian tube cases, respectively.
The number of patulous Eustachian tube cases was highest in summer and increased in proportion to changes in temperature and humidity, which could be due to physiological changes caused by climatic factors or diet trends.

Journal: Prehospital and Disaster Medicine / Volume 36 / Issue 4 / August 2021
San Francisco (California USA) is a relatively compact city with a population of 884,000 and nine stroke centers within a 47 square mile area. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) transport distances and times are short and there are currently no Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs).
This study evaluated EMS activation to computed tomography (CT [EMS-CT]) and EMS activation to thrombolysis (EMS-TPA) times for acute stroke in the first two years after implementation of an emergency department (ED) focused, direct EMS-to-CT protocol entitled "Mission Protocol" (MP) at a safety net hospital in San Francisco and compared performance to published reports from MSUs. The EMS times were abstracted from ambulance records. Geometric means were calculated for MP data and pooled means were similarly calculated from published MSU data.
From July 2017 through June 2019, a total of 423 patients with suspected stroke were evaluated under the MP, and 166 of these patients were either ultimately diagnosed with ischemic stroke or were treated as a stroke but later diagnosed as a stroke mimic. The EMS and treatment time data were available for 134 of these patients with 61 patients (45.5%) receiving thrombolysis, with mean EMS-CT and EMS-TPA times of 41 minutes (95% CI, 39-43) and 63 minutes (95% CI, 57-70), respectively. The pooled estimates for MSUs suggested a mean EMS-CT time of 35 minutes (95% CI, 27-45) and a mean EMS-TPA time of 48 minutes (95% CI, 39-60). The MSUs achieved faster EMS-CT and EMS-TPA times (P <.0001 for each).
In a moderate-sized, urban setting with high population density, MP was able to achieve EMS activation to treatment times for stroke thrombolysis that were approximately 15 minutes slower than the published performance of MSUs.

Invasive meningococcal disease has high morbidity and mortality, with infants and young children among those at greatest risk. This phase III, open-label, randomised study in toddlers aged 12–23 months evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of meningococcal tetanus toxoid-conjugate vaccine (MenACYW-TT), a tetanus toxoid conjugated vaccine against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W and Y, when coadministered with paediatric vaccines (measles, mumps and rubella [MMR]; varicella [V]; 6-in-1 combination vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b [DTaP-IPV-HepB-Hib] and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine [PCV13])(NCT03205371). Immunogenicity to each meningococcal serogroup was assessed by serum bactericidal antibody assay using human complement (hSBA). Vaccine safety profiles were described up to 30 days post-vaccination. A total of 1183 participants were enrolled. The proportion with seroprotection (hSBA ≥1:8) to each meningococcal serogroup at Day 30 was comparable between the MenACYW-TT and MenACYW-TT + MMR + V groups (≥92 and ≥96%, respectively), between the MenACYW-TT and MenACYW-TT + DTaP-IPV-HepB-Hib groups (≥90% for both) and between the MenACYW-TT and MenACYW-TT + PCV13 groups (≥91 and ≥84%, respectively). The safety profiles of MenACYW-TT, and MMR + V, DTaP-IPV-HepB-Hib, and PCV13, with or without MenACYW-TT, were generally comparable. Coadministration of MenACYW-TT with paediatric vaccines in toddlers had no clinically relevant effect on the immunogenicity and safety of any of the vaccines.
Early diagnosis of chyle fistula with SD LipidoCare after neck dissection
D H Lee, H K Kim, J K Lee, S C Lim
Journal: The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 135 / Issue 4 / April 2021
This study aimed to analyse the results of chyle fistula testing using the SD LipidoCare system in patients who had undergone neck dissections performed in our hospital in 2019.
Sixty patients who underwent neck dissections from March 2019 to November 2019 were identified based on their medical records.
Post-operative chyle fistulas were observed in 3 of 60 patients (5 per cent). All patients who developed chyle fistulas had undergone left-sided neck dissections. Within 3 minutes, the SD LipidoCare test had produced triglyceride results of 49, 56 and 207 mg/dl in the three patients. The remaining 57 patients measured 'low' for triglycerides on the SD LipidoCare test system.
The SD LipidoCare test quickly and accurately diagnosed chyle fistulas in patients who had undergone neck dissections. All patients improved with conservative treatment following the early diagnosis of chyle fistulas.

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2021, e53
Previous studies have reported the basic reproduction number (R0) of coronavirus disease from publicly reported data that lack information such as onset of symptoms, presence of importations or known super-spreading events. Using data from the Republic of Korea, we illustrated how estimates of R0 can be biased and provided improved estimates with more detailed data. We used COVID-19 contact trace system in Korea, which can provide symptom onset date and also serial intervals between contacted people. The total R0 was estimated as 2.10 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84–2.42). Also, early transmission of COVID-19 differed by regional or social behaviours of the population. Regions affected by a specific church cluster, which showed a rapid and silent transmission under non-official religious meetings, had a higher R0 of 2.40 (95% CI 2.08–2.77).
Factors associated with typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection among children <5 years old with moderate-to-severe diarrhoea in rural western Kenya, 2008–2012

Typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC) infection is a major cause of diarrhoea and contributor to mortality in children <5 years old in developing countries. Data were analysed from the Global Enteric Multicenter Study examining children <5 years old seeking care for moderate-to-severe diarrhoea (MSD) in Kenya. Stool specimens were tested for enteric pathogens, including by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for gene targets of tEPEC. Demographic, clinical and anthropometric data were collected at enrolment and ~60-days later; multivariable logistic regressions were constructed. Of 1778 MSD cases enrolled from 2008 to 2012, 135 (7.6%) children tested positive for tEPEC. In a case-to-case comparison among MSD cases, tEPEC was independently associated with presentation at enrolment with a loss of skin turgor (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.37–3.17), and convulsions (aOR 2.83, 95% CI 1.12–7.14). At follow-up, infants with tEPEC compared to those without were associated with being underweight (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3–3.6) and wasted (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.3–4.6). Among MSD cases, tEPEC was associated with mortality (aOR 2.85, 95% CI 1.47–5.55). This study suggests that tEPEC contributes to morbidity and mortality in children. Interventions aimed at defining and reducing the burden of tEPEC and its sequelae should be urgently investigated, prioritised and implemented.
Echocardiographic versus angiographic measurement of the aortic valve annulus in children undergoing balloon aortic valvuloplasty: method affects outcomes
George T. Nicholson, Bryan H. Goldstein, Kevin Gao, Ritu Sachdeva, Sean M. Lang, Scott Gillespie, Sung-in H. Kim, Christopher J. Petit
Journal: Cardiology in the Young / Volume 30 / Issue 12 / December 2020
Operators are mindful of the balloon-to-aortic annulus ratio when performing balloon aortic valvuloplasty. The method of measurement of the aortic valve annulus has not been standardised.
Methods and results:
Patients who underwent aortic valvuloplasty at two paediatric centres between 2007 and 2014 were included. The valve annulus measured by echocardiography and angiography was used to calculate the balloon-to-aortic annulus ratio and measurements were compared. The primary endpoint was an increase in aortic insufficiency by ≥2 degrees. Ninety-eight patients with a median age at valvuloplasty of 2.1 months (Interquartile range (IQR): 0.2–105.5) were included. The angiographic-based annulus was 8.2 mm (IQR: 6.8–16.0), which was greater than echocardiogram-based annulus of 7.5 mm (IQR: 6.1–14.8) (p < 0.001). This corresponded to a significantly lower angiographic balloon-to-aortic annulus ratio of 0.9 (IQR: 0.9–1.0), compared to an echocardiographic ratio of 1.1 (IQR: 1.0–1.1) (p < 0.001). The degree of discrepancy in measured diameter increased with smaller valve diameters (p = 0.041) and in neonates (p = 0.044). There was significant disagreement between angiographic and echocardiographic balloon-to-aortic annulus ratio measures regarding "High" ratio of >1.2, with angiographic ratio flagging only 2/12 (16.7%) of patients flagged by echocardiographic ratio as "High" (p = 0.012). Patients who had an increase in the degree of aortic insufficiency post valvuloplasty, only 3 (5.5%) had angiographic ratio > 1.1, while 21 (38%) had echocardiographic ratio >1.1 (p < 0.001). Patients with resultant ≥ moderate insufficiency more often had an echocardiographic ratio of >1.1 than angiographic ratio of >1.1 There was no association between increase in balloon-to-aortic annulus ratio and gradient reduction.
Angiographic measurement is associated with a greater measured aortic valve annulus and the development of aortic insufficiency. Operators should use caution when relying solely on angiographic measurement when performing balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

To conduct international comparisons of self-reports, collateral reports, and cross-informant agreement regarding older adult psychopathology.
We compared self-ratings of problems (e.g. I cry a lot) and personal strengths (e.g. I like to help others) for 10,686 adults aged 60–102 years from 19 societies and collateral ratings for 7,065 of these adults from 12 societies.
Data were obtained via the Older Adult Self-Report (OASR) and the Older Adult Behavior Checklist (OABCL; Achenbach et al., 2004).
Cronbach's alphas were .76 (OASR) and .80 (OABCL) averaged across societies. Across societies, 27 of the 30 problem items with the highest mean ratings and 28 of the 30 items with the lowest mean ratings were the same on the OASR and the OABCL. Q correlations between the means of the 0–1–2 ratings for the 113 problem items averaged across all pairs of societies yielded means of .77 (OASR) and .78 (OABCL). For the OASR and OABCL, respectively, analyses of variance (ANOVAs) yielded effect sizes (ESs) for society of 15% and 18% for Total Problems and 42% and 31% for Personal Strengths, respectively. For 5,584 cross-informant dyads in 12 societies, cross-informant correlations averaged across societies were .68 for Total Problems and .58 for Personal Strengths. Mixed-model ANOVAs yielded large effects for society on both Total Problems (ES = 17%) and Personal Strengths (ES = 36%).
The OASR and OABCL are efficient, low-cost, easily administered mental health assessments that can be used internationally to screen for many problems and strengths.
Time-domain non-linear aeroelastic analysis via a projection-based reduced-order model
S. Lee, H. Cho, H. Kim, S.-J. Shin
Journal: The Aeronautical Journal / Volume 124 / Issue 1281 / November 2020
The aeroelastic phenomenon of limit-cycle oscillations (LCOs) is analysed using a projection-based reduced-order model (PROM) and Navier–Stokes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the time domain. The proposed approach employs incompressible Navier–Stokes CFD to construct the full-order model flow field. A proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the snapshot matrix is conducted to extract the POD modes and corresponding temporal coefficients. The POD modes are directly projected to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation to reconstruct the flow field efficiently. The methodology is applied to a plunging cylinder and an aerofoil undergoing LCOs. This scheme decreases the computational time while preserving the capability to predict the flow field accurately. The ROM is capable of reducing the computational time by at least 70% while maintaining the discrepancy within 0.1%. The causes of LCOs are also investigated. The scheme can be used to analyse non-linear aeroelastic phenomena in the time domain with reduced computational time.
P01-188 - Regional Brain Perfusion Differences Associated with Norepinephrine Transporter Gene Polymorphisms in ADHD
S.-C. Cho, B.-N. Kim, J.-W. Kim, M.-S. Shin, H.-W. Kim, J.-W. Kang, Y.-H. Yang
The aim of this study was to examine whether the presence of risk alleles of the norepinephrine transporter gene (SLC6A2) polymorphisms is associated with differences in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measured by 99mTc-HMPAO single photon emission computerized tomography in a Korean sample of ADHD.
The present study included 24 children with ADHD (9.5±2.4 years), consisting of 20 boys and 4 girls, aged 6-16 years. We investigated the G1287A and -3081(A/T) polymorphisms of the SLC6A2. The rCBF was compared between the ADHD subjects with and without risk alleles at the G1287A polymorphism and at the -3081(A/T) polymorphism. Image analyses were performed with voxelwise t-statistics using SPM2.
1) The ADHD subjects with the A allele (risk allele) at the G1287A polymorphism showed reduced perfusion in the left middle frontal gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, precuneus, right superior frontal gyrus, and right superior parietal lobule as compared with ADHD subjects without the A allele (p< 0.001).
2) The ADHD subjects with the A allele at the G1287A polymorphism showed increased perfusion in the right middle frontal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right fusiform gyrus, right precentral gyrus, and right anterior lobe of cerebellum as compared with ADHD subjects without the A allele (p< 0.001).
3) No significant perfusion differences were found between ADHD subjects with and without the T allele (risk allele) at the -3081(A/T) polymorphism.
Our findings suggest that the SLC6A2 G1287A polymorphism might exert differential effects on rCBF in children with ADHD.
The efficacy of weight management training in patients with schizophrenia

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020, p. S85
In this study, we want to evaluate the efficacy of a preventive weight management training. We hypothesize that this training will reduce weight gain, pathological metabolic parameters and will increase drug compliance and subjective well-being.
69 schizophrenic patients were included in this study, in all patients olanzapine was newly initiated. They were randomly assigned to verum and control group. Patients in the verum group attended the training every second week for 24 weeks. Physical and chemical parameters where measured regularly, and also eating behaviour, physical activity, quality of life, mental state and psychosocial adaptation.
Results/Discussion
28 patients dropped out during the first 4 weeks of intervention. The data of the remaining 41 patients (verum group N=21, control group N=20) was analysed. During the intervention there was no significant difference between the groups regarding weight-gain. Both groups gained weight slightly (verum group 3.02±4.06kg, control group 2.80±4.84kg). Concerning triglycerides we found an interaction effect of time and group (F(1)=6.697, p=.025), the same was found on the second scale of the questionnaire for eating behaviour (FEV), which measures to what degree eating behaviour is disturbed (F(1)=8,381, p=.013) and on the social functioning scale of the SF-36 (F(2,38)=3,34, p=.032). Regarding glucose tolerance challenge, there was a significant group effect at the first time of measure after intake of the glucose-dilution (F(1)=9.15, p=.016). Our results do not support the hypothesis that the intervention has the desired effects on body weight, but it influenced positively other metabolic parameters, eating behaviour and social functioning.
Quality of Life in Patients with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: Comparison of Self-report and Proxy Assessment
E.-J. Kim, S.-J. Kim, H.-S. Cho
Journal: European Psychiatry / Volume 24 / Issue S1 / January 2009
There is little data to indicate whether or not patients with chronic mental illness can provide self-report QOL data or if informant reports can substitute the patients' ratings. We evaluated patient-proxy agreement in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and compared levels of agreement according to the relationship between patient-proxies.
WHOQOL-BREF and SF-36, two of the most popular quality of life instrument were administered to 82 schizophrenia-proxy and 50 bipolar disorder patient-proxy pairs.
Proxies of schizophrenia patients rated patients' QOL lower than the patients themselves. Agreement between patients and proxies on the four main domains of QOL was moderate to good. Moreover, the agreement between patients' and proxies' ratings was higher when the proxy was a mother or spouse compared to father.
These findings suggest that proxy rating of QOL can be used as a reasonable estimate of the patients' rating of QOL in schizophrenia and bipolar patients, at least in Korea. Knowing which domains of QoL are affected in specific psychiatric disorders can help clinicians focus on particular QoL domains during the diagnostic process and to define adequate treatment goals. Therefore, the assessment of QoL may be an important part of the diagnostic process because it can give insight into the areas of functioning in which a patient is suffering the most.
2691 – Bilateral Transection of the Chorda Tympani and Lingual Nerves Increased Anxiety- and Depression-Like Behaviors in Rats
J.W. Jahng, J.Y. Kim, J.-H. Lee
Sensory information plays an important role to determine psycho-emotional behaviors of individuals. in this study, we have examined psycho-emotional behaviors of rats after disrupting the oral sensory relay to brain with bilateral transection of the chorda tympami and lingual nerve (LNX). LNX rats are expected to lose their sensory information from the anterior two thirds of the tongue. Two weeks after the nerve transections or sham operations, rats were subjected to behavioral sessions to examine anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, and the brain monoamine levels were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Initial weight loss after the surgery was bigger in LNX rats and this effect remained during the whole experimental period, although daily food intake per 100 g body weight became greater in LNX rats. Ambulatory activity was decreased, anxiety-related behaviors during the activity test increased, time spent in the open arms during elevated plus maze test decreased, and immobility duration during Porsolt swim test increased in LNX rats compared with sham rats. LNX rats showed anhedonia with decreased sucrose consumption compared to sham rats. Serotonin levels in the hippocampus were decreased in LNX rats compared with sham rats. Results suggest that disruption of oral sensory relay to brain may lead to the development of depression- and anxiety-related disorders, and decreased serotonergic activity in the hippocampus play a role in its underlying mechanism.

2821 – Dopamine D2/3 Receptor Availability and Human Cognitive Impulsivity: A High-Resolution Pet Imaging Study with [11C]Raclopride
J.-H. Kim, Y.-D. Son, H.-K. Kim, S.-Y. Lee, Y.-B. Kim, Z.-H. Cho
Introduction and objectives:
: Human impulsivity is a complex multidimensional construct encompassing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. Previous animal studies have suggested that striatal dopamine receptors play a critical role in impulsivity. in this study, we investigated the relationship between self-reported cognitive impulsiveness and dopamine D2/3 receptor availability in striatal subdivisions in healthy subjects using high-resolution positron emission tomography (PET) with [11C]raclopride.
Twenty-one participants completed 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution PET scans with [11C]raclopride. The trait of impulsiveness was measured using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11). Partial correlation analysis was performed between BIS-11 scores and D2/3 receptor availability in striatal subregions, controlling for the confounding effects of temperament characteristics that are conceptually or empirically related to dopamine, which were measured by the Temperament and Character Inventory.
The analysis revealed that the non-planning (p = 0.004) and attentional (p = 0.007) impulsiveness subscale scores on the BIS-11 had significant positive correlations with D2/3 receptor availability in the pre-commissural dorsal caudate. There was a tendency toward positive correlation between non-planning impulsiveness score and D2/3 receptor availability in the post-commissural caudate.
These results suggest that cognitive subtrait of impulsivity is associated with D2/3 receptor availability in the associative striatum that plays a critical role in cognitive processes involving attention to detail, judgment of alternative outcomes, and inhibitory control.
Effects of depressive mood of female high school students on dysmenorrhea and sleep quality
S. Kim, H. Kim, M.J. Kim, Y. Min, J. Lim, Y. Lee, S. Kim, C.H. Kim
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2020, pp. S623-S624
This research aimed to identify the effects of depressive mood of female high school students on dysmenorrhea and sleep quality.
This research was conducted for 2 months from September 2015 to October 2015. A total of 3 types of self-reported questionnaire were adopted for the research. Control group was separated by Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (ZSDS). Each group adopted a self-made questionnaire for research on menstruation and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for research on sleep. Chi2 test and AVOVA analysis through SPSS-21 were used as statistics methods.
Analysis was made on 72 female students who submitted clear answers to the questionnaire. There were 34 students from normal mood group and 38 from depressive mood group. Depressive group presented meaningful results on regularity, pain severity, and drug treatment history of menstruation. Particularly, depressive group had 51.4% among subjects having severe menstrual pain of grade 3 by VMS (verbal multidimensional scoring system), way higher than 27.6% among subjects in the normal group. PSQI for sleep showed a meaningful result that 20.8% of those in the normal group were diagnosed with sleep disorder compared to 86.8% for the depressive group. A meaningful difference was seen in sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep disturbance, use of sleep medication, daytime functional disturbance among 7 items of PSQI.
This research showed that female high school students with depressive mood had high frequency and severity in dysmenorrhea and sleep quality disturbance.

Q: removing some rows from a text file in pandas and make a new file I have a text file which has a complicated structure and I would like to make a tab separated file with 10 columns. the problem is at the beginning of this file there are some useless lines which must be removed.
in this file there is a line which starts with #CHROM which will be the first line of result text file.
here is a n example of my input file:
##bcftools_filterCommand=filter -e 'SOMATIC_PON_COUNT!="." && MIN(SOMATIC_PON_COUNT) > 3' -s SOMATIC_PON -m+ -O z -o /sample/output/180614_HMFregCPCT_FR16985640_FR16985806_CPCT02170033/somaticVariants/CPC
T02170033R_CPCT02170033T/CPCT0217003ted.pon
#CHROM  POS ID  REF ALT QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT  CPCT02170033T
1   819393  .   T   C   .   PASS    AC=0;AF=0;AN=0;MAPPABILITY  GT:AD:DP    0/1:75,15:91

expected output (with 2 lines):
CHROM   POS ID  REF ALT QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT  CPCT02170033T
1   819393  .   T   C   .   PASS    AC=0;AF=0;AN=0;MAPPABILITY  GT:AD:DP    0/1:75,15:91

to do so I wrote the following code in python3:
with open("myfile.txt") as f:
    total = f.readlines()
    skip_value = total.index("#CHROM\n")
    df = pd.read_csv("myfile.txt", skiprows=skip_value, sep="\t")

but it gives this error:
ValueError: '#CHROM\n' is not in list

do you know how to fix the code?

A: # Import libries
import pandas as pd

# open the file
with open("myfile.txt") as f:
    skip_value = 1
    for line in f.readlines():
        if line.split()[0] == "#CHROM":
            skip_value += 1

# Load data from txt with pandas
df = pd.read_csv("myfile.txt", skiprows=skip_value, sep="\t")

# Print the final df
print(df)

Output
    #CHROM  POS ID  REF ALT QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT  CPCT02170033T
0   1   819393  .   T   C   .   PASS    AC=0;AF=0;AN=0;MAPPABILITY  GT:AD:DP    0/1:75,15:91

A: You were almost there, since total is a list, you have to iterate through all the elements to find the index of the element that matches your substring.
with open('myfile.txt') as f:
    total = f.readlines()
    for elem in total:
        if elem.find('#CHROM') > -1:
            skip_value = total.index(elem)
    df = pd.read_csv('myfile.txt, skiprows=skip_value, sep = '\t')

About Backed with
B/w artist & song A-Z
46. Aphex Twin – Bucephalus bouncing ball
/ Come to Daddy, Pappy mix, Warp, 1997
Very few B sides can have found themselves chosen as official BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs, but 'Bucephalus bouncing ball' is one such, selected by comedian Vic Reeves in 2003. Possibly it's the one and only Desert Island B side. It's also been selected by Warp co-founder Steve Beckett for Chosen, one of a plethora of releases celebrating twenty years of Warp. Somewhat inevitably, Beckett has gone for a more engaging set from the Warp back catalogue than has resulted from the top ten popular vote for the first of the CD's two discs. Complete with the landscape photography of Dan Holdsworth, it's a typically beautiful package, and along with Recreated, on which Warp artists cover favourite moments from the back catalogue across another pair of discs, we are given as good an overview of Warp's breadth of vision as we were likely to get. And, the top ten classics aside, they work as compilations, one track flowing into the next, snaking back and forth through the years, and opening up for further investigation those Warp artists you may have missed through needing to blink occasionally.
Aphex Twin's presence is felt across the Warp20 releases, of course. In the future, they'll write musicological monographs about the work of Richard D. James. They probably already have. While there are a number of Warp recording artists I like more (Autechre, Broadcast, Boards Of Canada, Gravenhurst, Guillermo Scott Herren, Antipop Consortium), it's impossible not to admire both RDJ's range and his approach to making music, not to mention the image or anti-image that he has either deliberately crafted or carelessly and haphazardly fostered in retaliation to the irritation of interactions with the media.
A latter-day tour-de-force demonstration of stereophonic effects, 'Bucephalus bouncing ball' sounds not so much like a single sphere at work as several, metallically pinging round the insides of RDJ's brain – or at least his computer – like a speeded-up multi-ball version of Pong, the early video tennis game. Set against the condescension of a simple melody picked out on his synth and an accompanying mournful wash of chords, the balls proliferate mathematically, trying to effect their escape. Released from the speakers, they burrow their way into your brain and who knows what the consequences will be then?
Bucephalus was the name of Alexander the Great's favourite horse.
'Bucephalus bouncing ball' was also used in the soundtrack of the film Pi and appears in several scenes of the movie each time the main character repeats his monologue.
Arcade Fire associates Bell Orchestre have recently recorded a cover version of 'Bucephalus bouncing ball' for their album As seen through windows.
The unsettling jungle-punk and techno smears of 'Come to daddy' made it to number 36 in the UK charts.
Richard D James deliberately holds back his best music from public consumption: 'You end up hating your own music. So you have to protect it.' (Interview with The wire, 2003)
'Acrid avid jam shred' is an anagram of Richard D James.
Vic Reeves' pick of his eight choices was 'Lark Ascending', while his book was Three men in a boat. And his luxury? Potato seeds.

How cute is this dress from Shabby Apple? This is the Sao Paulo dress. I love the gray and white stripes and the hidden pocket on the sleeve. When I received this dress it was a bit big and long. I washed it and tumble dried it on low and then it fit perfectly. I decided to pair it with a fun faux leather vest, my black converse tennis shoes, and this Kendra Scott necklace.
This Shabby Apple dress was not only the most adorable, but also comfortable outfit for running around town doing errands. As a mom, there are days when I am so busy doing so many different things like the going to the cleaners, the market, picking up supplies for the kids and driving driving and more driving.

Many women suffer with hirsutism, which is the overproduction of hair. This most often occurs on the face, neck and chin. Men may also experience hirsutism which usually occurs on the chest or back. Hirsutism can be hereditary or caused by illness or hormonal imbalance. Our providers will diagnose and determine the best treatment options for you.
Treatment of hirsutism often includes Laser Hair Removal, using the LightSheerDUET to reduce the amount of hair growth. At this time there is no insurance coverage for laser hair removal.

Q: Selenium: Using explicit waits in loop This is how you normally implement explicit waits for an element:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'someid')))

On the above example it uses the element's ID to search for the element and wait for it to be clickable.
I want to use an existing element object instead of it's selector to add explicit waits.
Example:
fields = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input")
for field in fields:
    wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(field))

A: The simplest way is just using visibility_of instead of element_to_be_clickable.
If you really need element_to_be_clickable (check that element is visible and enable) then you can do something like that:
class enable_of(object):
    def __init__(self, element):
        self.element = element

    def __call__(self, ignored):
        return self.element.is_enabled()

fields = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
for field in fields:
    wait.until(EC.visibility_of(field))
    wait.until(enable_of(field))

The purpose of this booklet is to touch in number of areas, which are important at this point for the recruitment campaign of the federation. It is not meant even by implication to provide details of how to handle the campaign what it does is to highlight issues and areas that we must think in the preparation for this campaign. More importantly is the fact that COSATU remains the biggest federation in South Africa and fastest growing international. Beside a loss of membership from + 2 million to + 1.8 million members. The decrease in membership is mostly because of retrenchments. The well known fact is that only about 40% of the workforce that is unionized. The aim of the recruitment drive is to access this 60% that is not unionized. The mistake must not be committed to think that the 40%, which is unionized, belong to COSATU. There are two other federations plus number of non-affiliated unions. Our commitment to One Country One Federation does not stop us to recruit from other unions as long as we remain under different bodies. This October campaign coincides with Red October campaign of the SACP and Health and Safety month of the federation this must be seen as strength than lack of co-ordination. One area that is link to recruitment is the servicing of membership. It is useless to recruit and fail to service membership because every campaign that we will take around recruitment we may find ourselves had to fight with disgruntled members and obviously it will be difficult to attract new members. This must say to us that members come first.

Together with the company's technology partners SenseTime, Boon Edam, Hanwha Techwin and HID, Entrypass Corporation recently exhibited at the 16th Defense Services Asia Exhibition & Conference, held at MITEC Kuala Lumpur from 16-19 April. On display were Entrypass' video surveillance and access control solutions aptly named SenseFace and SenseGuard respectively, which incorporates the latest deep learning algorithms in the industry.
Visitors to Entrypass' booth had the opportunity to experience several products and solutions which the company has tailored for multiple market segments such as residential, commercial, banking and factory buildings.
Entrypass' smart city surveillance combines facial recognition with other algorithms such as object recognition, license plate recognition (LPR) and crowd control analytics.
The system can detect unattended objects, black listed criminals and also the movement pattern of visitors. Business owners can identify potential threats on their property and additionally, they can monitor the customer's behavior using the system's big data analytics. The deep learning surveillance system can also play an important role in empowering enforcement agencies such as police, border control and immigration department.
"We wanted to showcase our facial recognition solution using SenseTime's deep learning algorithms, where we integrated the latest AI technology into a total video management and access control platform. What we have achieved is that users can now just walk towards a turnstile terminal and the system can recognize their faces rapidly to allow access. SenseTime's facial recognition technology supports large-scale portrait comparison at a ratio of 1: N. For example, the system can recognize a face out of 1 million faces in a millisecond. This technology can be used in access control, time attendance, and also for people tracking," said Ryan Tan, Executive Director at Entrypass Corporation.
Besides surveillance, the facial recognition system can also be used in the financial and banking industry to reduce fraud. One example is that banks can use the system to identify a person's face for banking transactions instead of swiping ATM cards. Another banking transaction which can be digitalized is loan application. Currently, banks are required to authenticate a customer's identity via a process called KYC (Know-Your-Customer), which is usually done face-to-face. In the near future, with a system such as SenseFace, banks can adopt e-KYC, which is a method that relies on digital technologies to perform the same task in a more seamless manner. According to Malaysia's Federal Bank Guidelines, financial institutions are permitted to verify a customer's identity via video calls, selfies and social media, on top of the databases maintained by the National Registration Department.

My name is Claudia, I am 20 years old and I live in Vlaardingen. I speak Dutch and English. I have a park in the neigborhoud and a dog playground.
At the moment I study Animal Care at Lentiz MBO 4 Maasland. I am learning about animals en I have personal experience with dogs. I did a 7 week internship in Spain at an animal shelter in Spain, an intership in Finland for 7 weeks and before that I did an internship at an Dog walk service so I have experience with taking care of other people's dogs too. Also I did an internship in Hungary and in Ibiza, both with dogs.
I love animals (cats and dogs especially) and they are part of my daily routine.
I wish I could have a dog myself but at the moment this is not possible because I am at school biggest part of the day so I won't have enough time to take care of him and give the attention he deserves. That is one of the reasons why I would like to take care of other people's animals! :) I am willing to do special requests like take longer walks, or shorter, or feed him or something like that.


I'm a mild mannered comic reviewer by day and sometimes night. I also really like explosions and stuff.
My brother backed the kickstarter project for this book and tossed me the complete arc that'll be published by IDW later this year.
First things first the art is simple incredible and worth checking out for that alone, here's an example.
Well another zany book from the master of zany storytelling Bryan Lee O'Malley although not quite as zantastic as his Scott Pilgrim series.
Thanks NetGalley for the digital copy!!
The first volume was a lot of fun so I was excited to give this a go but this one went way over my head with all the complex physics theories and alternate realities. I did enjoy the main characters and their snappy dialog so I'm mildly interested to see where it goes next.
Thank you NetGalley for a digital copy of this book!

NLRB Declines to Exercise Jurisdiction Over Student-Athletes' Attempt to Unionize – For Now
By Howard M. Bloom, Gregg E. Clifton, Patrick L. Egan & Philip B. Rosen on August 17, 2015
Posted in Amateur Sports, Collective Bargaining, Collegiate Sports, NCAA, Uncategorized
Concluding that its assertion of jurisdiction "would not serve to promote stability in labor relations," the National Labor Relations Board has declined to exercise authority over the College Athletes Players Association's (CAPA's) petition to represent scholarship football players at Northwestern University. Northwestern University, 362 NLRB No. 167 (Aug. 17, 2015). Without deciding if the players meet the statutory definition of "employee" under the National Labor Relations Act, the unanimous Board stated "it would not effectuate the policies of the Act to assert jurisdiction" here. However, the Board expressly left open the possibility it would assert jurisdiction "in another case involving grant-in-aid scholarship players (or other types of scholarship athletes)."
The Board's conclusion, it said, reflected the reality that colleges and universities playing intercollegiate athletics band together to enact and enforce common rules for recruiting, practicing and competition by means of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and conferences. "As a result," the agency reasoned, "labor issues directly involving only an individual team and its players would also affect the NCAA, the Big Ten, and other member institutions. Many terms applied to one team therefore would likely have ramifications for other teams. Consequently, 'it would be difficult to imagine any degree of stability in labor relations' if we were to assert jurisdiction in this single-team case."
The Board also recognized the difficulty resulting from the fact that 108 of the 125 colleges and universities playing in the NCAA Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) are state-run institutions. Therefore, "the Board cannot assert jurisdiction over the vast majority of FBS teams because they are not operated by 'employers' within the meaning of…the Act." Indeed, in the Big Ten Conference, Northwestern is the only private institution. These facts distinguished the Northwestern case from those involving professional sports leagues, the NLRB said, noting that "in all of our past cases involving professional sports, the Board was able to regulate all, or at least most, of the teams in the relevant league or association."
The Board stressed the "novel and unique circumstances" of this matter.
It had never before been asked to assert jurisdiction in a case involving college athletes or football players. Neither had a petition for representation for a single college team unit or a group of college teams ever been filed or considered by the Board previously. Rejecting a potential analogy to graduate student assistants or student janitorial workers and cafeteria workers, the Board ruled the Northwestern football players are students as well as athletes who receive a scholarship to participate in an extracurricular activity. Northwestern players were different from other determinations in prior Board decisions involving students. Whether these student-athletes were employees under the NLRA was hardly free from doubt.
Despite the broad underpinnings of its ruling, the Board did not foreclose applying different standards later. For example, the Board noted its decision did "not address what the Board's approach might be to a petition for all FBS scholarship football players (or at least those at private colleges and universities)." (Emphasis added.)
Thus, the Board's explanation that it was declining jurisdiction because the union's petition did not cover the entire FBS suggests it may be open to the possibility of countenancing a petition covering players at all private institutions in the FBS.
Union proponent and former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter tried to justify his organizational attempts despite the Board's decision. He stated, "We are obviously disappointed. Still the unionization effort has already helped players with additional stipends, guaranteed scholarship and protocols to protect players who suffer concussions." This is paradoxical, since the Board strongly suggested that improving treatment of NCAA scholarship players played a part in its decision to decline jurisdiction.
The Board's decision will make it difficult for CAPA or another labor organization to organize scholarship football players at FBS schools. Some leagues have few private institutions, if any. Even in leagues with many private institutions, those schools are still in the minority, and so "labor stability" would not offer a firm rationale for Board jurisdiction. The Board may take jurisdiction in other sports, at least where private institutions predominate.
Further, the Board's decision does not mean it will not take jurisdiction for other purposes, such as to remedy unfair labor practices. It cautioned: ". . . we are unwilling to find that a labor dispute involving an FBS football team would not have a 'sufficiently substantial' effect on commerce to warrant declining to assert jurisdiction."
The Northwestern University decision is limited by its terms, and may afford school athletic programs only passing protection. The current NLRB may yet seek to tackle college and university sports for organized labor. The game is a long way from over.

My students are doing projects on 19th Century American Heroes. Yesterday a student found a quote from Clara Barton that she asked me to help her interpret. After reading it I realized that it was a quote that describes my feelings towards education.
I really want a quote. You know, a quote that when people hear it they say "hey, didn't Paul Bogush say that." A quote that will last longer than my presence here on Earth. One that is googlable. I thought I had a pretty good one awhile back. Years ago I started saying that "I don't teach kids so that they will be ready for the future, I teach them to create the future." Well a couple months ago I heard Wesley Fryer use it in a podcast and have seen it pop up in a couple of other places. Seems like I lost that one. Dang it.
Maybe someday I will blog the quote or post that gets sent around the internet. I really think that is the reason why I am blogging. For the hope that one day I will hit gold with some words and get my 15 Seconds of Fame. Do you have a post or quote you want to be known for?
For now I live on watching my little counter go up by a few each day, and for those of you that leave comments—I can't even tell you how much it means to me. I can almost say with certainty that if my counter did not take a few ticks up each day, and I did not get the occasional comments I would stop blogging. That's not a good thing, but the truth. So for everyone who visits Blogush and leaves a comment—Thank you. Thank you so much. You really do make me feel so important.

Q: Loading 1 million records using bulk API: Exceeding batch Limit Whenever records are inserted in Contacts(usually inserted in 1000's), we have a batch job that checks related customer account in SFDC and populates the contact.accountId field and couple other fields. This so far worked fine.
Now, we have a scenario where 1 million contact records (approximately 5000 batches) should be inserted into SFDC using Bulk API, and even with flex queue enabled, I am running out of available batches.
Trigger:
trigger conTrigger on Contact (after insert) {
    ContactHandler.managecontacts(trigger.new);
}

ContactHandler.class
public static void managecontacts(List<Contact> acList) {
    Database.executeBatch(new UpdateContactsBatch(acList));
}

UpdateContactsBatch.class
    public class UpdateContactsBatch implements Database.Batchable<sObject>, Database.Stateful {
        List<Contact> acList = new List<Contact>();

public UpdateContactsBatch (List<Contact> acList) {
this.acList = acList;
}

            public Iterable<sObject> start(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
                return [select id, accountId from contact where Id In: acList];
            }

            public void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<AccountContacts__c> scope) {
                ContactTriggerHandler.managecontacts_execute(scope);
            }

            public void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC) { }

        }

One option I have is to turn off the trigger during this mass load and manually run the batch from anonymous window after inserting all contacts. (Tested this scenario and this is working fine in PreProd environment). In Production this requires 2 times deployment (one for activating trigger and one for deactivating. Donot prefer having custom settings to control trigger behaviour)
But would like to know if there is any other option to handle this scenario.
Problem: I changed the batch size to 5000 in my dataloader which is currently set to "Use Bulk API" but still seems like my trigger is getting 200 records at a time and for each load of records from trigger.new, a batch job will be queued

A: So I think the problem is that the bulk data API is running multiple asynchronous batches and thus kicking off too many Batchable Contexts.
It looks like your batch process doesn't actually care what Id's you pass in and instead just processes everything?
If this is the case and you don't need real time (or close to realtime) updates, it might be a better idea to just schedule this to run.
Otherwise, if you need it to happen in near real time, you could use batch "chaining" in order the have the batch keep running as long as there are records to process.
The basic steps would look something like this:

*

*In the finish method, add a check to see if there are more records to process.  If so kick off another batch.

*In your trigger, have it first check if the batch is already running.  If so, you don't need to do anything.  Otherwise, have it kick off the batch.

Update
If you have access to the JobInfo concurrencyMode param, you can set this to "Serial" and it will prevent multiple batches from running in parallel.  I think this might solve you problem. If that alone doesn't work, try also reducing the batch size. Obviously, this will cause the import to take much (much) longer.
On the dataloader this Serial can be turned on by checking "Enable Serial Mode for Bulk Api".

Curfew to end, some restrictions to stay after November 15 in Latvia
Photo: LETA, Zane Bitere
Authors: eng.lsm.lv (Latvian Public Broadcasting), Madara Līcīte (Panorāma), Jānis Kincis (Latvijas Radio korespondents )
After the current lockdown period is set to end November 15, the night-time curfew will be lifted but many restrictions will remain in place, the government indicated November 3.
Ministries have not yet decided on some of the specifics. However, it is planned that:
general working hours are to be limited from 6:00 to 21:00;
all services and activities are planned to be organized in "green mode";
cultural events could only be attended with a Covid-19 certificate;
a maximum of 1,000 people will be able to gather at events (in green mode);
malls will be closed on weekends and holidays;
only small first-necessity shops could work in the "red mode";
indoor entertainment would still be banned;
only vaccinated and recovered persons will be able to work onsite;
residents will be invited to continue their remote work as far as possible;
educational processes will be organized in "bubbles", careful not to let more pupils meet;
pupils, including those vaccinated against Covid-19, are scheduled to be tested twice a week.
Advisor to the Health Minister, Kaspars Bērziņš, said at a press briefing that the tough restrictions have improved the overall situation. "We have broken off the very steep rise, we will have a stabilized situation unfortunately with risks. We cannot yet afford to open the society fully. With the measures after November 15 that will be more free but not completely free we will be able to control the volume of infections," said Bērziņš.
While it is currently envisaged that lockdown will end as planned on November 15, a formal decision will be taken next week, based upon the epidemiological situation prevailing in the country.
