        You need only go back 70 years to a time when a scratch and a common infection could prove deadly. Routine surgery and childbirth could be a hazardous business. Penicillin had been discovered in 1928 by Sir Alexander Fleming, but human trials did not begin for over a decade. The first patient was an Oxford policeman, Albert Alexander, who had scratched his face on a rose bush and the wound became seriously infected (another historical version has him injured in a bombing raid). He was treated with penicillin and his condition rapidly improved, but supplies ran out before he could be cured and he died. By the end of the war penicillin was being widely produced, and other drugs quickly followed - marking the start of the antibiotic era.

        So most of us have grown up with these miracle drugs readily available. It’s understandable that patients and some doctors simply can’t comprehend the concept of a pre-antibiotic world. But that is what’s at stake unless the threat is taken seriously.

    • Rise of superbugs

        Much of modern medicine is now underpinned by antibiotics. Surgery is more invasive than ever: from hip replacements to cancer treatment and transplants - antibiotics are essential to prevent and treat infection. There have been repeated calls on doctors to curb the overuse of antibiotics going back many years.

        Whilst it is important that the NHS (National Health System in England) exercises better stewardship of antibiotics, it is worth remembering that this is a global problem that requires global solutions. Superbug infections respect no borders and have spread from continent to continent with ease. This is a serious concern because many developing countries have far poorer controls on antibiotic use.

    • Misuse

        Last year the World Health Organization found that some antibiotics could be bought legally over the counter in 19 out of 43 European countries surveyed. Then there is the widespread misuse of antibiotics in agriculture, in farmed animals and fish. More antibiotics are used in livestock production than for human health and there is widespread concern about the use of long-term, low-dose antibiotics in animal feed in countries like the US, China and India.

        Part of the problem is due to simple evolutionary pressure: bacteria are constantly evolving, and resistant strains emerging. This means there is a constant battle to stay ahead of the germs. But developing new antibiotics has proved hugely difficult - it’s nearly 30 years since the last new class of antibiotics came on the market.

    GLOBALISATION, HUMANISM, MODERNITY: IN SEARCH OF EQUILIBRIUM
    Monica Grigorescu*
    Our time has proved to be amazingly effective in gropingly building up a civilization which it has proved amazingly inept at putting in order. (André Maliaux)

        After so many crises which have followed each other in as many areas, we ought to admit that industrial and technological civilization is creating as many problems as it is capable of resolving. The myth of progress, one of the founding myths of our civilization, also appears to have collapsed as a myth. The development of modern society, spectacular as it is from an economist’s angle of vision, has not been able to society; stop a slide into human and moral underdevelopment. A deterioration of quality in relation to quantity makes only those things that can be actually measured appear to be real; unfortunately, things like poetry, suffering, or love are hardly quantifiable.

        Towards the end of his eventful life, Jean Monnet, a remarkable figure of the twentieth century, reasoned that, had he been able to start all over again, he would have begun with culture. A founding father of what was later to become the European Union, he expressed that belated belief in the pre-eminent role of culture as a part of greater civilization after he had tried for several decades to build a prosperous Europe in economic terms in the aftermath of a devastating war.

    *Director of the House of Latin America of the Ministry of Foreign Affair of Romania.

    W.H.O. calls ‘vaccine hesitancy’ an increasing concern globally

    Rick Gladstone

    August 18, 2015


        The World Health Organization warned Tuesday of what it called the growing problem of “vaccine hesitancy,” when people delay or refuse vaccines for themselves or their children. In a statement on its website, the organization called the problem “a growing challenge for countries seeking to close the immunization gap.” Globally, the organization said, one in five children still do not receive routine lifesaving immunizations, and 1.5 million children die each year of diseases that could have been thwarted by vaccines.

    Oxfam study finds richest 1% is likely to control half of global wealth by 2016
    By Patricia Cohen
    January 19, 2015
    Imagem da questão de Inglês, da prova de 2015
    The richest 1 percent is likely to control more than half of the globe’s total wealth by next year, the anti-poverty charity Oxfam reported in a study released on Monday. The warning about deepening global inequality comes just as the world’s business elite prepare to meet this week at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
    The 80 wealthiest people in the world altogether own $1.9 trillion, the report found, nearly the same amount shared by the 3.5 billion people who occupy the bottom half of the world’s income scale. (Last year, it took 85 billionaires to equal that figure.) And the richest 1 percent of the population controls nearly half of the world’s total wealth, a share that is also increasing.
    The type of inequality that currently characterizes the world’s economies is unlike anything seen in recent years, the report explained. “Between 2002 and 2010 the total wealth of the poorest half of the world in current U.S. dollars had been increasing more or less at the same rate as that of billionaires,” it said. “However since 2010, it has been decreasing over that time.”
    Winnie Byanyima, the charity’s executive director, noted in a statement that more than a billion people lived on less than $1.25 a day. “Do we really want to live in a world where the 1 percent own more than the rest of us combined?” Ms. Byanyima said. “The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering.”
    Investors with interests in finance, insurance and health saw the biggest windfalls, Oxfam said. Using data from Forbes magazine’s list of billionaires, it said those listed as having interests in the pharmaceutical and health care industries saw their net worth jump by 47 percent. The charity credited those individuals’ rapidly growing fortunes in part to multimillion-dollar lobbying campaigns to protect and enhance their interests.

    TEXTO 7

                                       Memórias de um pesquisador

          Não era bem vida, era uma modorra – mas de qualquer modo suportável e até agradável. Terminou bruscamente, porém, eu estando com vinte e oito anos e um pequeno bujão de gás explodindo mesmo à minha frente, no laboratório de eletrônica em que trabalhava, como auxiliar. Me levaram às pressas para o hospital, os médicos duvidando que eu escapasse. Escapei, mas não sem danos. Perdi todos os dedos da mão esquerda e três (sobraram o polegar e o mínimo) da direita. Além disso fiquei com o rosto seriamente queimado. Eu já não era bonito antes, mas o resultado final – mesmo depois das operações plásticas – não era agradável de se olhar. Deus, não era nada agradável.

          No entanto, nos primeiros meses após o acidente eu não via motivos para estar triste. Aposentei-me com um bom salário. Minha velha tia, com quem eu morava, desvelava-se em cuidados. Preparava os pastéis de que eu mais gostava, cortava-os em pedacinhos que introduzia em minha boca – derramando sentidas lágrimas cuja razão, francamente, eu não percebia. Deves chorar por meu pai – eu dizia – que está morto, por minha mãe que está morta, por meu irmão mais velho que está morto; mas choras por mim. Por quê? Escapei com vida de uma explosão que teria liquidado qualquer um; não preciso mais trabalhar; cuidas de mim com desvelo; de que devo me queixar?

          Cedo descobri. Ao visitar certa modista.

          Esta senhora, uma viúva recatada mas ardente, me recebia todos os sábados, dia em que os filhos estavam fora. Quando me senti suficientemente forte telefonei explicando minha prolongada ausência e marcamos um encontro.

          Ao me ver ficou, como era de se esperar, consternada. Vais te acostumar, eu disse, e propus irmos para a cama. Me amava, e concordou. Logo me deparei com uma dificuldade: o coto (assim eu chamava o que tinha me sobrado da mão esquerda) e a pinça (os dois dedos restantes da direita) não me forneciam o necessário apoio. O coto, particularmente, tinha uma certa tendência a resvalar pelo corpo coberto de suor da pobre mulher. Seus olhos se arregalavam; quanto mais apavorada ficava, mais suava e mais o coto escorregava.

          Sou engenhoso. Trabalhando com técnicos e cientistas aprendi muita coisa, de modo que logo resolvi o problema: com uma tesoura, fiz duas incisões no colchão. Ali ancorei coto e pinça. Pude assim amá-la, e bem. 

          – Não aguentava mais – confessei, depois. – Seis meses no seco!

          Não me respondeu. Chorava. – Vais me perdoar, Armando – disse – eu gosto de ti, eu te amo, mas não suporto te ver assim. Peço-te, amor, que não me procures mais.

          – E quem vai me atender daqui por diante? – perguntei, ultrajado.

          Mas ela já estava chorando de novo. Levantei-me e saí. Não foi nessa ocasião, contudo, que fiquei deprimido. Foi mais tarde; exatamente uma semana depois.

          [...]

                                  Pediatric group advises parents to read to kids

    June 26, 2014
    By Amy Graff

                            imagem-005.jpg

                Reading Go Dog Go to your 6 month old might seem like wasted time because she’s more likely to eat the book than help you turn the pages, but a statement released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) this week says reading in the early years is essential. Reading out loud gets parents talking to their babies and the sound of an adult’s voice stimulates that tiny yet rapidly growing brain. In the statement, the academy advises pediatricians to tell parents to read books to their children from birth.
                Reading regularly with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime. Research shows that a child’s brain develops faster between 0 and 3 than at any other time in life, making the early years a critical time for babies to hear rich oral language. The more words children hear directed at them by parents and caregivers, the more they learn.
                While many babies are read Goodnight Moon and The Very Hungry Caterpillar every night before bed, others never get a chance to “pat the bunny.” Studies reveal that children from low-income, less-educated families have significantly fewer books than their more affluent peers. By age 4, children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than those in higher-income households. These dramatic gaps result in significant learning disadvantages that persist into adulthood. The AAP hopes the new guidelines will encourage all parents to start reading from day one.
                Research shows that when pediatricians talk with parents about reading, moms and dads are more likely to fill their home with books and read. Also, to help get more parents reading, the AAP is partnering with organizations such as Scholastic and Too Small to Fail to help get reading materials to new families who need books the most.
                This is the first time the AAP has made a recommendation on children’s literary education and it seems the timing might be just right as more and more parents are leaning on screens and electronic gadget to occupy their babies. “The reality of today’s world is that we’re competing with portable digital media,” Dr. Alanna Levine, a pediatrician in Orangeburg, N.Y., told The New York Times. “So you really want to arm parents with tools and rationale behind it about why it’s important to stick to the basics of things like books.”

                                                                                                                            (http://blog.seattlepi.com. Adaptado.)

    Up Close With Sebastião Salgado, Brazil’s Legendary Photographer-Activist

    By Fernanda Ezabella (Folha de S.Paulo/Worldcrunch)

    Imagem da questão de Inglês, da prova de 2013

    (Alto Xingu Indians in Central Brazil.
    Sebastião Salgado/Amazonas Images)


        Sebastião Salgado’s blue eyes have seen a bit of everything in this world – and this might not even be an exaggeration. For the past eight years in particular, the 69-year-old Brazilian photographer has travelled to more than 30 isolated regions of the world, collecting images of dozens of remote tribes, endangered animals and unusual landscapes.
        The Genesis project is a singular photographic journey that began in 2004 and ended in 2012, at a cost of one million Euros a year. The result will be shown in magazines, books, a documentary by Wim Wenders and a series of exhibitions around the world, each displaying some 250 black-and-white photos.
        The first exhibition will open in London on April 11, with former Brazilian President Lula – Salgado’s long-time friend – as special guest. “We want to create a little movement around these photos to provoke a debate on what we need to preserve,” he says. Salgado defends environmental causes through his organization, Instituto Terra. Even after travelling to so many exotic places, Salgado, now living in Paris, still takes vacations in Brazil. Here are excerpts from a conversation Salgado had with Folha, with new details about his travels, photographic techniques and new environmental projects.


    •  Coldest trip
    I visited the Nenets, in the Yamal peninsula, in northern Siberia, Russia. They are a nomadic tribe who raise reindeer in extreme Arctic conditions. When I went there it was spring and weather ranged between -35ºC and -45ºC. I didn’t wash myself for 45 days. They don’t take baths because there is no water. The only way to get water is to break off a piece of ice and warm it in a pot.

    •  Frozen equipment
    I used a Canon, an EOS1 Mark III, a very powerful machine. The problem was the batteries. In the Siberian temperatures, they quickly lost power. On average, I take 2,500 shots per battery, but this time I could only take 300-400 photos before the battery stopped working. I would put it inside my clothes, my assistant would give me another one, I would take 300 more pictures and, when that battery ran out energy, I would take out the other one and it would work again.

    •  Going digital for the first time
    I started Genesis with film and changed to digital. The airport X-Ray scanners degrade the quality of film, and so I decided to change to digital and was quite surprised. Quality was better than the one I had with negatives in medium format. I turned off the screen on the back of the camera, and used my camera as I have always done. When I came back to Paris, I printed contact sheets and edited the photos using a magnifying glass, because I don’t know how to do it in the computer.

    •  Stone Ages
    I met tribes that are still living in the Stone Ages, with working tools such as stone hammers. There were clans of about 10 people living in treetops. They had already seen white people before. They looked towards the direction I had come from and the chief asked me whether I was part of the white people clan that usually came from that direction. Because, for them, the world is all made of clans.

    •  Brazilian arrows
    I met the Zo’e tribe, in Brazil, who were first discovered 15 years ago and live in a state of total purity. You see the guy working with an arrow. He warms it, put some weight on it, a straight feather if he wants a quicker arrow, a rounder one to have it slower. It is the same science as for rockets. And he’s got the same problem as in Cape Canaveral, to recover his rockets. If his ballistic calculations are wrong, he loses his arrow. He takes only 10 arrows with him when he goes hunting, no more than that.

    •  Activist or photographer?
    Photography is my life. When I am taking photos, I am in a deep trance. When I have my camera and am travelling with the Nenets, it’s my life, morning to night. I have taken incredible photos, but my life is also the environment and Instituto Terra.

    Brazil despite its economic success remains one of the inequality champions

    August 22nd, 2012

    Imagem da questão de Inglês, da prova de 2013
    The ‘favelas’ or shanty towns that surround most Brazilian cities
        
        Brazil might be the leading economy in Latin America and has had a significant performance in reducing poverty in recent years, but it still remains among the countries with the highest inequality in the region together with Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia, points out the UN-Habitat report. In all four countries based on 2009 data, the Gini income per capita distribution index stood at 0.56, to which must be added Dominican Republic and Bolivia, two inequality champions with high concentration of wealth. This compares with the US and Portugal Gini indicator of 0.38, two countries that offer no relief since Portugal, for example, has the highest inequality index of the European Union.
         Nevertheless, Brazil advanced compared to 1990 when it had the highest degree of inequality and stood well ahead from the rest of the continent. But the region continues to have the highest inequality rate in spite of advances in helping income distribution. Among some of the causes for distribution improvement are productivity, upward trend of salaries and workers categories, strong economy and implementation of income transfer programs in several countries, particularly in the two leading economies, Brazil and Mexico. In the case of Brazil, the country’s economy now figures sixth at global level.
        Former president Lula da Silva and one of the most popular leaders in history of that country based his success precisely on the Bolsa Família Plan, which distributed a monthly basic food basket to millions, helping anywhere from 14 to 22 million climb out of poverty, plus ensuring his Workers Party an encouraging future.
        The Gini coefficient or index measures the inequality among values of a frequency distribution (for instance, levels of income). A Gini coefficient of zero expresses perfect equality where all values are the same (for instance, where everyone has an exactly equal income). A Gini coefficient of one (100 on the percentile scale) expresses maximal inequality among values (for instance, where only one person has all the income).
