Opportunities & Risks-+
Access to defensive growth – emerging countries are facing aging populations and changing lifestyles.
Development of healthcare infrastructure combined with a growing middle class is an additional growth driver.
High growth potential of Emerging Markets.
Attractive valuations compared with the projected medium to long-term growth.
Bellevue Healthcare Team – top-performing pioneer in the management of healthcare portfolios in Emerging Markets.
The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to price fluctuations and so are also exposed to the risk of price losses.
Investing in Emerging Markets entails the additional risk of political and social instability.
The fund invests in foreign currencies, which means a corresponding degree of currency risk against the reference currency.
The subfund may invest in China A equities. This entails the risk of supervisory changes, volume caps and operating restrictions which may lead to a higher counterparty risk.
The fund may invest a proportion of its assets in financial instruments that might under certain circumstances have a relatively low level of liquidity, which can in turn affect the fund's liquidity.
Review / Outlook-+
The MSCI World index climbed higher in November, 7% in USD, extending the upward trend that began in the middle of October. Macroeconomic data continued to move the markets much more than company-specific news. Lower-than-expected October inflation numbers in the US were cheered by investors, for example, although inflation was still clocked at a high 8% yoy. Nevertheless, that data readout gave risk assets a big boost as it fueled hopes that the Fed would moderate the pace of its rate increases compared to its previous two FOMC meetings. Jerome Powell confirmed this market expectation shortly afterwards during a speech on November 30 when he flagged an increase of 50 basis points at the bank's next policy meeting in December. Subsiding US inflation and falling bond yields weakened the dollar too, which helped lead stocks in emerging markets and the entire Asia-Pacific region to higher ground.
After the very negative reaction to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, stock markets in Hong Kong and mainland China turned positive in November on hopes that China's economy would continue to gain momentum thanks to the gradual unwinding of government measures to control COVID-19. Even widespread protests against the government's zero-COVID policy, which were stamped out after a few days, were unable to hold back the market rally. Large-scale campaigns to encourage citizens to get vaccinated or boosted, especially those 80 and older, have been launched so that the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations at the end of January can still take place. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index surged 14.8% in the wake of these developments. The defensive healthcare sector was unable to keep pace with the broader market but still delivered a pleasing return of 10.1%.
The latest update from Hikma underscored the strong momentum in its two major business units – injectables (46% of sales/63% of EBIT) and branded (27% of sales/22% of EBIT). Management expects both units to deliver high single-digit sales growth during the coming years. Its third operating division, generics, is forecast to finally meet lowered expectations. Hikma's improved business outlook and pending announcement of a new CEO prompted us to open a position in its stock.
Early in November the fully vertically integrated Brazilian health insurer Hapvida presented its third-quarter results. They fell short of market expectations, unfortunately. EBITDA declined 18% from the prior-year figure. This was mostly blamed on pricing developments in its insurance portfolio. Hapvida was unable to increase premiums fast enough to compensate for higher costs associated with a rising number of consultations, especially for COVID-19 cases. Organic growth, on the other hand, was solid as the company attracted 122000 new policyholders. Nevertheless, we reduced the position somewhat in view of the latest operating results. We will keep the position in the portfolio, however, because we are confident that Hapvida has an excellent position in Brazil's private healthcare market. Better quality at a reasonable cost makes Hapvida an attractive alternative to the country's public healthcare system.
New positions were opened in Hikma, Apollo Hospitals, Microport, Zai Lab and Shanghai Fosun last month and existing positions in Aier Eye, Ali Health and Wuxi Apptec were topped up. Divi's Laboratories, China Traditional Medicine, Kingmed and Shanghai Junshi are no longer in the portfolio and positions in JD Health, Legend Biotech, Zydus Lifesciences and Hapvida were reduced.
The fastest growing countries in the world can be found in emerging markets and they contain more than half of the world's population. Asian emerging markets are also forecast to account for more than 50% of global GDP by 2050. It is known that the economic growth model of countries shifts from manufacturing to the services sector as household incomes rise. A growing middle class fuels demand for modern medicine. Healthcare ranks increasingly high on their wish list. Billions are being invested in infrastructure, technology and research to modernize the healthcare systems in emerging market countries. This is giving a greater swath of the population access to better healthcare. Meanwhile rapid population aging is also stoking demand for healthcare. In 30 years' time there will be 400 to 500 million people over 60 in China alone, and they will have a growing need for modern health services and medicines. Outside Asia, Brazil's rapidly expanding private-sector healthcare market offers a range of interesting investment opportunities. The quality and long waiting times of the country's public health system are no longer acceptable to many higher-income Brazilian households and they are increasingly embracing these new services offered by private-sector healthcare providers. Hospital chains embedded in a fully-integrated ecosystem are but one example of the beneficiaries of this structural change. The fund serves as a defensive vehicle for capturing the above-average growth potential emerging markets offer. It invests in the entire healthcare system value chain, from hospital chains, drug developers and device manufacturers to medical research specialists and digital health companies.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and can be misleading. As the sub-fund is denominated in a currency that may differ than an investor's base currency, changes in the rate of exchange may have an adverse effect on prices and incomes. Performance is shown net of fees and expenses for the relevant share class over the reference period. All performance figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and do not take into account the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares, if any. Individual costs are not taken into account and would have a negative impact on the performance. With an investment amount of EUR 1,000 over an investment period of five years, the investment result in the first year would be reduced by the front-end load of up to EUR 50 (5%) as well as by additional individual custody charges. In subsequent years, the investment result would also be reduced by the individual custody account costs incurred. The reference benchmark of this class is used for performance comparison purposes only (dividend reinvested). No benchmark is directly identical to a sub-fund, thus the performance of a benchmark is not a reliable indicator of future performance of the sub-fund it is compared to. There can be no assurance that a return will be achieved or that a substantial loss of capital will not be incurred. All figures in base currency in %, calculated by the total return / BVI method.Show moreShow less

There is continuing debate about when Australia Day should be celebrated including having citizenship ceremonies as part of the celebrations.
Local government councils play a major role in arranging and hosting these celebrations but there has been a move within some councils to change when and how Australia marks its national day.
Traditionally, Australia Day ceremonies begin with an acknowledgement of country.
They are planned to embrace everything about Australia, from our First Australians to our newest citizens.
Our Australia Day celebrations receive wide community support and it's important they are not used to divide our nation by raising questions about our national identity and attempts to re-write Australian history.
We will do this by amending the Local Government Act.
All prospective citizens who have successfully applied should have the right to receive their citizenship during the celebration of Australia Day if they so wish.
This should not be put in doubt by any politically motivated opposition to celebrating Australia Day and holding citizenship ceremonies as part of these celebrations.
Australia Day must remain a time which unites Australians.
We want local councils and communities to continue to play a central role in celebrating Australia and raising awareness of the importance and benefits of citizenship.
A Marshall Liberal Government will take this action recognising that in South Australia, the State Government has constitutional responsibility for the affairs of local councils.
In ensuring citizenship ceremonies remain part of Australia Day celebrations, our legislation will accommodate those councils which traditionally have their Australia Day events just before or just after 26 January.


I graduated Monmouth University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Secondary Education with a minor in Archaeology. This degree was achieved with a graduating GPA of 3.93. With this in mind, it is my fondest desire to enhance the education of my future students by imparting detailed analysis of both primary and secondary sources, which I myself pursued while at Monmouth.
During the course of the past four years, I completed my student teaching experience at Barnegat High School. While at Barnegat, I assumed the full responsibilities of a history teacher. These responsibilities included daily lesson planning, classroom management, classroom logistics, assessment, differentiated instruction, and coordinating in-class activities designed to promote critical thinking skills. These responsibilities were executed across five different classes, four being sophomore U.S History and one being senior New Jersey History. After completing my student teaching, I assumed the role of a Social Studies teacher at St. Rose High School in Belmar NJ. Once there, I taught Economics, Sociology, US I, US I Honors, US II, Current Issues, and World History.
Throughout the course of my student teaching and instruction activities at St. Rose, I was able to bring my real life experiences into the classroom to create a more lasting impression on my students. I served for six years in the United States Air Force. As a result, I was able to bring real world military experiences into the classroom so that my pupils could better understand foreign politics. In addition, I have been a Civil War reenactor for many years. This allowed me to bring in period artifacts for the students to explore and to construct their own understanding of one of the most tragic periods in American History.
In addition to my teaching experiences at Barnegat High School, I also served as an instructor in the US Air Force. I was picked by my commander to educate my fellow service members on correct maintenance procedures on a 45 million dollar F-15 C/D. These duties required an intense amount of time management skills as the lessons were conducted during the post September 11, 2001 environment. The military at that time was on high alert and time constraints were always an issue. Despite this, I was able to still manage to teach my fellow service members how to correctly perform such complicated tasks as engine removal, engine installation, engine ground run procedures, servicing, and aircraft record keeping. In reality, this period helped me to develop a sound time management style and ability to effectively multi task.

Where there is an injury that can only occur through negligence, the jury must be instructed on Res Ipsa Locquitur, even where the Defendant proposes another cause
CASE: Sedlitsky v. Perseso REFERENCE: 400 Pa. Super 1 582 A.2d 1314 (1990) CASE LOCATION: Washington Co., PA.
Our client underwent a thyroidectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove part of the thyroid gland. In the course of that surgery, the surgeon negligently cut a nerve, the recurrent laryngeal nerve, in our client's throat (the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a branch of the vagus nerve that supplies motor function and sensation to the voice box).
This was a significant injury because it caused a partial paralysis of our client's vocal cords which left her with a permanent raspy voice. Also, speaking for any length of time was very exhausting. As can be imagined, because our client was a home visitation nurse, her voice impairment caused much difficulty in the course of her job (she typically would go into homes and have to explain to her patients how to take medications or perform certain therapies). This injury could be partially corrected with a surgical implantation or injection into her damaged vocal cord; however, our client was hesitant to undergo that surgery because of her bad experience with the thyroidectomy.
Although a nerve injury to the patient is a slight risk of a thyroidectomy (about 1% of patients), at trial, it was a medical expert's opinion that the type of injury that occurred in this case would not occur unless the physician was negligent.
After this case was tried to a defense verdict, it was appealed to the Pennsylvania Superior Court. On appeal, the Superior Court handed down a very significant decision on the legal principle of "Res Ipsa Loquitur." Res Ipsa Loquitur is Latin term for "the thing speaks for itself." In law, Res Ipsa Loquitur is a doctrine, or rule of evidence, that may apply in certain situations when it's assumed that a person's injury was caused by the negligent action of another party because the accident was the sort that wouldn't occur unless someone was negligent.
On appeal, the Superior Court held that the trial court erred and that a Res Ipsa Loquitur jury instruction should have been given. The Superior Court remanded the case back to the trial court for a new trial. A jury returned a substantial verdict after hearing the second trial.

Animal Ethics's spokesperson Oscar Horta gave a talk about the problem of wild animal suffering at the Effective Altruism Global 2018 conference in London. The talk discusses the creation of a new field of research, welfare biology.
The talk discusses why suffering almost certainly prevails in nature, how that is related to reproductive strategies, and the ways animals living in the wild suffer and die. It also addresses the problems that prevent many people from seeing these issues as important, such as having an idyllic view of nature, thinking that wild animals are used to living in harsh conditions, or simply never having thought about the conditions of the lives of animals living in nature.
It gives an overview of what is currently being done to help wild animals. While the scale of the help is currently quite small, there is the potential for it to greatly increase.
There's a discussion of the scientific fields that create some knowledge about issues related to wild animal suffering. However, their focus is not on addressing the problems of the animals themselves. This discussion is followed by an explanation of how these and other obstacles could be addressed by the science of welfare biology.
The talk ends describing some of the work Animal Ethics is doing to spread concern about wild animal suffering and to support and promote the creation of welfare biology.
Animal Ethics's welfare biology team coordinator, Maria Salazar, will be giving another talk on this topic at the next Effective Altruism Global event, the EAGxNordics conference in Stockholm on April 5-7.

Colts place quarterback Carson Wentz on reserve/COVID-19 list; could play Sunday
INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts were able to overcome the toll COVID-19 took on their roster on Christmas night in Arizona.
A change to NFL rules might help Indianapolis avoid another game like that on Sunday against the Raiders, a game that can clinch a playoff spot for the Colts with a win.
Wentz on COVID list:4 ways for the Colts to manage Carson Wentz's absence
1:30 p.m.: Colts place Carson Wentz on reserve/COVID-19 list
The Colts placed starting quarterback Carson Wentz on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, making him questionable for Sunday's game, although a change in the NFL's protocols to reflect CDC guidelines make it possible for Wentz to play against the Raiders.
Wentz tested positive for COVID-19, becoming the 15th Colt to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list in the past week. All 15 appear to have a chance to play on Sunday against the Raiders, provided they meet the NFL's new criteria.
5:30 p.m.: NFLPA, NFL reduce quarantine 5 days due to CDC guidance
Under the NFL's new criteria, any player, coach or staffer, vaccinated or unvaccinated, can return to the team after a five-day period of isolation beginning when the test was performed, provided the player has not had a fever in the past 24 hours and other symptoms are resolving.
Doyel:Colts' fate now lies with CDC, NFL and NFLPA after Carson Wentz lands on COVID list
The policy change deeply altered the situation the Colts are facing. Wentz has not been vaccinated, and under the old rules he'd have been forced to sit out at least 10 days, missing the game against the Raiders.
Wentz has been resolute in his decision to remain unvaccinated, even though vaccinated players faced less frequent testing — unvaccinated players must be tested every day — and were able to return earlier than 10 days if they produced two negative tests 24 hours apart or test at a viral load below a certain threshold.
More:Colts quarterback Carson Wentz addresses his vaccination status and NFL protocols
"I'm not going to go in depth on why, but it's a personal decision for me and my family," Wentz said in August. "I respect everybody else's decision, and I just ask that everybody does the same for me."
Wentz almost certainly will not be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list again this season. Under NFL rules that date back to the 2020 season, any player who tests positive for COVID-19 does not have to test again for the next 90 days, a period of time that covers the entire playoff schedule through the Super Bowl.
Wentz has played good football for the Colts, limiting mistakes and providing a big-play arm to an offense that has been carried by MVP candidate Jonathan Taylor at running back, all while playing 97.8% of the snaps to this point.
The Colts starter has thrown for 3,230 yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions. Twenty-seven quarterbacks have thrown more interceptions this season, and Indianapolis is tied for second in the NFL in sacks allowed, having given up just 25.
Wentz is also coming off of his best moment of the season, carrying the Colts on two critical second-half drives to beat a Cardinals team loaded up to stop Jonathan Taylor on Christmas night, capped off by a remarkable throw to Dezmon Patmon in the back of the end zone for the game-sealing touchdown.
Colts backup quarterback is rookie Sam Ehlinger
If Wentz isn't able to play on Sunday, the Colts would likely turn to sixth-round rookie Sam Ehlinger, although they could also choose to go with veteran Brett Hundley, one of the four practice squad players Indianapolis protected this week. When Wentz was initially placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, there was speculation that the team might sign Philip Rivers as an emergency replacement, but that seems unlikely now.
Colts COVID outbreak:See who's on the Indianapolis Colts reserve/COVID-19 list after outbreak on NFL team
Ehlinger, a rookie taken in the sixth round out of Texas, has never thrown an NFL pass, and Hundley hasn't started an NFL game since 2017.
Ehlinger has been Wentz's primary backup the past two months, a position he took over from Hundley after coming off of injured reserve. Hundley, in turn, had won the job from Jacob Eason, and when Wentz's status was in doubt for the first Tennessee game because of his sprained ankles, the Colts moved Hundley into the starter's spot.
Doyel:Colts can't win if quarterback Carson Wentz catches COVID
Ehlinger's position as the only backup available on game days the past two months does give the Colts a handle on how they'd prepare a game plan with the rookie in the starting role. Indianapolis has to prepare Ehlinger every week in case Wentz goes down with an injury.
"We go through the plan, he goes through it and (we ask), 'OK, what are your top calls that you feel comfortable with?' Doesn't have to be all of them," offensive coordinator Marcus Brady said. "We have that separate call sheet for him ready to go. He goes through all the reads just like Carson does. He may not get the live rep but he'll get it on the side. So he's ready to go."


Chemokines are small proteins that activate G protein-coupled receptors and are essential for leukocyte trafficking.Collectively, they have multiple roles in many cell types besides directing traffic.... The inflammatory response proceeds with the degranulation and activation of local mast cells and macrophages, and the release of a variety of pro-inflammatory mediators, including bioactive amines (histamine and serotonin), cytokines (IL-1 and TNF-?) and chemokines.
Examples of cytokines include the agents interleukin and the interferon which are involved in regulating the immune system's response to inflammation and infection.
The Human Cytokines & Chemokines RT? Profiler PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 key secreted proteins central to the immune response and other functions.

The first step in coping with adversity is to commit personally and wholeheartedly to worship and serve God. Resign to his resolution of the adversity, and commit to living in his image, representing him in every human interaction, such that your actions and words radiate Godliness and elicit positive response from others. Furthermore, resigning to the will of God may include applying human effort to accomplish what you can while seeking his intervention. God will intervene to guide us out of adversity but expects us to apply human effort as part of finding the solution. Because the nature and timing of his intervention are generally not known a priori, we have to actively seek solutions at the human level in order to position ourselves to receive and utilize his intervention.
We continue our study series on Samuel with a study focused on understanding how his mother Hannah coped with the adversity of childlessness. Hannah's experience leading to the birth of Samuel was dominated initially by her bitterness due to not having a child after several years of marriage. Her husband's other wife sought to take advantage of her condition. In contrast, her husband was kind and sympathetic and sought to comfort her into accepting barrenness. Hannah, therefore, was alone in seeking a solution to her problem. She dealt with the problem initially by nursing self-directed bitterness that she showed by weeping and often refusing food. However, one day during her family's annual trip to worship at the tabernacle in Shiloh, she decided she could not continue to bear the problem in her heart. She took the problem to God in prayer and appeared to have left it with him because her demeanor changed completely after the prayer.
We examine her experience in this bible study to understand how she transitioned from wilting under the weight of childlessness to a feeling of being completely relieved of the problem even when there had been no humanly observable change in her situation. Also, we use the opportunity to revisit a previous bible study on David coping with adversity brought on him by virtue of a rebellion led by his son, Absalom. We see that lessons from Hannah's experience and the lessons from David complement each other and provide useful insight into what a Christian can do to cope with adversity.
From both, we learn about wholehearted commitment to worship and serve God and total resignation to God's resolution of the adversity in his way and at his time. From Hannah, we learn about living in the image of God as a manifestation of the commitment. And from David, we learn about diligence in human effort while resigned to seeking God's solution through his intervention.

Why basic with a Southern twist? Cause with Ride or Die we are the most basic duo. When we found out the fair had fried pumpkin spice oreo's we just had to try them. Ride or Die's sister texted her and goes, "basic with a southern twist."
If your state has already had it's fair, what was your favorite thing or food?
You captured the fair perfectly. Wish I had been there. Our fair here in Kansas was in September. I didn't even go this year. Too many memories right now.
Hugs to you. It'll get easier. Maybe next year.
We missed this year but I was being cheap! Hoping to go next year. We love going to the fair for the food! Of course after we eat all that food we are like 'WHY!"
Totally diggin' that pineapple drink! ;) I didn't go to the Fair this year, maybe next year. Fried Oreos are the bomb!
I wanted to go to the Texas State Fair when I was in town this weekend, but I didn't have time and I was so exhausted. It looks like it was a blast though. I've never been to the one in Texas.
Great pictures! My mind is slightly blown by fried sweet tea. Is it like a sweet tea flavor in a hushpuppy? I have had fried Koolaid and it was just the flavor in a dough form. Fried Snickers are so yummy!
They turned into a dessert. Some how it was almost like a fillin' you would see in a cake and then they fried it.
Love your pictures! I think I'd like to try sweet tea--that sounds really awesome! :) I love a good funnel cake at the fair, but anything fried is usually delicious!
Yes ma'am. You already know how we do.
Texas state fair looks just as fun as New York's! I loved all of your pics looks like you had a great time!
um, that texans feeding texans is really misleading with their visual scale. not feeling it.


Mr. P steps forward for the two.
This thing started as a joke but now, Don Jazzy and Linda Ikeji already have a prospective wedding sponsor – if they ever decide to hook up.
One half of the pop duo P-Square, Peter jumped on the bandwagon hoping to get the Mavin boss hitched with Linda somebody now that Banky W's off the market.
Then again, Don Jazzy brought all this on himself after telling Linda he's written a script and wondered if she can act a role in it.
Dear @LindaIkeji I wrote one movie script like that. I will be the lead actor in it. Abeg u sabi act?
Peter's proposal to sponsor a wedding between the two comes soon after a girl shared a special message for both of them too.

Seprafilm Slurry Does Not Increase Complication Rates After Laparoscopic Colectomy
Adithya Suresh, MD, Ziad T Awad, MD FACS. University of Florida College of Medicine- Jacksonville
Seprafilm® adhesion barrier is proven to prevent adhesion formation after open abdominal and pelvic operations. However, with laparoscopy, a major technical roadblock is the delivery of these sheets into the peritoneal cavity. To avoid this problem, Seprafilm® slurry may be used to deliver the anti-adhesive barrier into the peritoneal cavity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety results, including incidence of postoperative complications and death after laparoscopic placement of Seprafilm® slurry in patients who underwent laparoscopic colectomy.
Methods: 100 consecutive laparoscopic colectomies [(group1, n=50, no Seprafilm, 07/2007-06/2008); (group 2, n=50, with Seprafilm® slurry, 07/2008-05/2009)] performed by a single surgeon was analyzed. In group 2, at the end of the procedure, two procedure packs of Seprafilm® (each pack containing six 3x 6 inch sheets) was made into a slurry by dissolving it into 120 mL of warm saline. This solution was then delivered into the peritoneal cavity using a 16 Fr. catheter. Group characteristics were evaluated with regard to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and ASA score. Six complications: abdominal or pelvic abscess, anastomotic leak, wound infection, subcutaneous abscess, re-admission and re-operation within the first 30 days after surgery were reviewed. The chi square test was used to detect frequency differences among the complications from what was expected. The Relative Risks with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to determine whether differences in complication rates between the groups were statistically significant. Mortality was examined qualitatively at the 30 day post-operative period as well. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 18.
Results: Both groups were statistically similar with regard to age, sex, BMI, and ASA score. Differences between control and experimental groups were examined for abdominal or pelvic abscess (4% Vs 2%); anastomotic leak (4% in both groups); subcutaneous abscess (2% in both groups). The rate of wound infection was 8% in group 1 and none in group 2. The re-operative rate was (8% Vs 6%), and the readmission rate was (6% Vs 8%). The mortality rate was 2% in group 1 and 4% in group 2. Neither the chi square tests or relative risks for complications were statistically significant. All deaths were unrelated to intra-abdominal complications in either group.
Conclusion: Initial data regarding Seprafilm® slurry indicate no significant difference in complication rates between control and experimental groups. This is the first study that evaluated the safety of Seprafilm® slurry in patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy. Further long term follow-up is needed to test its efficacy.

To make our coin rings we punch the center out of the coin, you can add a necklace made from the center punch out of your coin ring by adding it to your purchase. On the regular band coin rings these punch outs always measure 11mm.
More information about the State quarters: The Iowa State quarter was minted in 2004 and features a one-room schoolhouse with a teacher and students planting a tree, and the inscriptions Foundation in Education and Grant Wood. Iowa's design is based on Arbor Day, a painting by Grant Wood, who was born near Anamosa, Iowa. State quarters were produced from 1999-2008, with 5 States produced per year. Each State features a unique design on the reverse (tails) of the quarters, while the obverse design features George Washington and the words "United States of America," "Quarter Dollar," "Liberty," and "In God We Trust".
NOTE: These are completely handmade, no two rings are exactly alike nor are they perfect. Antique finish is on the surface of the ring and will wear away with time, when it is worn away you can polish your ring with a regular jewelry polishing cloth for a classic polished look. Punch out is only included if you add it to your purchase.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Following is an excerpt from an interview with Kathleen Karimi, co-founder of the Institute for Behavior Change, whose comments have been edited and shortened for length and clarity.
How has your organization's culture helped you succeed over the past year?
"I think we worked very hard to put things back together and somehow get back to where we were before COVID. As COVID disrupted everything, we temporarily paused many personal engagement initiatives, many of our personal communication initiatives, and now that we are out of the woods, we have been able to engage the community again and start attending personal community events again, to connect personally with our community partners and then bring together our staff, which felt really, really great. Our staff managed to come back and engage in personal professional development, so let's go back to conferences, seminars and still do some online, but not so much, I think it was really a positive change for everyone and really helped deal with much of the fair general isolation that I think people have experienced because of COVID. And then I think we're just celebrating our sustainability, because we, even before COVID, offered telehealth services and integrated telehealth technology into the care of almost every patient. We were really proud of the fact that we were able to really mobilize and continue to care for our patients in the best possible way. I think there were a lot of companies in our area that had to close locations, lay off employees – and we didn't cut any employees through all the interruptions we encountered during COVID.
How has your concept of maintaining a work-life balance as their employer changed?
"So we've always offered remote positions, and that really allows us to accommodate people at every stage of life. We have many people who work for us and have young children at home, so even before the pandemic we are proud to be able to offer a program for babies and children at work that allows employees to work in certain capacities with their children. Of course, with the pandemic and the children who do not go to school and kindergartens, we really had to displace the already existing program and expand it even more. And it really became clear to us how important it is to look at each employee as an individual with unique needs and to work together to understand where the employee comes from, what his needs are and to do everything possible to be a supportive factor and not stress factor in already tense times. We have included some – back in 2020 and continued this year – additional paid mental health days. These are days that we issue several times a year and are flexible, so employees do not have to use paid leave or sick time if they just need a break.

A new study led by the University of Bristol's School of Veterinary Sciences recommends a global system is needed to monitor infectious diseases of companion dogs and cats.
The study, led by Michael Day, Professor of Veterinary Pathology in the School of Veterinary Sciences at the University of Bristol and published online in Emerging Infectious Diseases, lists key infectious diseases that may be transmitted between dogs and cats and man ('zoonotic diseases'). It is well recognised that most of the major new diseases of mankind will have an animal origin and dogs and cats are a potential source of such 'emerging diseases'.
The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) One Health Committee, which promotes the closer integration of human and animal healthcare ('One Health') in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO), recommends in the paper a co-ordinated global disease monitoring system is established for veterinarians who work in small companion animal practice.
However, development of such a scheme would require significant political will, scientific application and financial support that could be achieved through a public-private partnership. The knowledge gained through surveillance would permit more effective global control of small companion animal zoonoses and so reduce the risks inherent within this most fundamental of human relationships.
Canine rabies virus infection, one of the diseases listed in the paper, is estimated to kill a minimum of 55,000 people in Africa and Asia each year.
Michael Day, Professor of Veterinary Pathology in the School of Veterinary Sciences, said: "The number of small companion animals is significant. For example there are an estimated eight to ten million dogs living in up to 31 per cent of UK homes and in the USA, 72 million dogs in 37 per cent of homes.
Small companion animals, most typically dogs and cats, are kept by people for companionship or a range of utilitarian purposes. Dogs and cats have a close relationship with their human owners and play an important role in the cultures of both developed and developing communities. The social and societal benefits of pet ownership are significant, with dogs now participating in programmes in institutions such as schools, prisons and hospitals, in addition to their role in family life.
In human, livestock and wildlife heath there are programmes of active surveillance for infectious disease, which monitor the global distribution and movement of key infectious agents. For example, the WHO monitors human influenza virus infection through a network of 111 centres in 83 countries. In contrast, there is no such monitoring for the infections that may be transmitted between small companion animals and man.
Paper: Surveillance of zoonotic infectious diseases transmitted by small companion animals, Day M J, Breitschwerdt E, Cleaveland S, Karkare U, Khanna C, Kirpensteijn J, Kuiken T, Lappin MR, McQuiston J, Mumford E, Myers T, Palatnik-de-Sousa CB, Rubin C, Takashima G, Thiermann A. Emerging Infectious Diseases, volume 18, issue 12, December 2012.
The authors are members of the WSAVA One Health Committee, which is an independent advisory group that receive financial support through the WSAVA Foundation.
Professor Michael Day is Professor of Veterinary Pathology in the School of Veterinary Sciences at the University of Bristol, UK. His primary research interest is companion animal immune-mediated and infectious diseases.
Research at the University of Bristol's School of Veterinary Sciences is focused in the areas of Animal Welfare and Behaviour, Comparative and Clinical Research, and Infection and Immunity, complemented by quantitative expertise in Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Mathematical Ecology. Research ranges from fundamental to applied and is relevant to over-arching issues such as Food Security and One Health, concepts that the School's research embraces through collaborations with scientists from other schools within the Faculties of Medical and Veterinary Sciences, Medicine and Dentistry, and Science and other regional institutes and organisations.
