Incidence of COVID-19 in children under one year | 12 Summary and reflections | 16 Bibliography | 18 The previous report, on the evolution of COVID-19 until epidemiological week 6, showed an increase of the virus’s transmission in the population under 18 years of age, and its relation with the rise in case detection in the popula- tion over 18 from the first epidemiological week of the current year. The descriptive cross-sectional study referred to in this report shows particularities of the propagation of CO- VID-19 from February 14 to May 1 (epidemiological weeks 7-17 of 2021), according to individual characteristics such as the sex and age of the infected children and adolescents, as well as the incidence by province and municipality, with an emphasis in the territorial spreading of cases. Due to its relevance, the fifth report on epidemiological characteristics and spatial dissemination of infection in Cuban children and adolescents includes a subsection on its incidence in children under one year of age. As in previous reports, the main sources for the study are the database of the Health Watch Office of the Minis- try of Public Health, other databases of the National Statistics and Information Office (ONEI), as well as cartogra- phic resources from the GeoCuba Business Group. Again, the data used may have been modified or updated after the date of this report. 1.1 Evolution and general characteristics of COVID-19 in children and adolescents. Weeks from 7 to 17, 2021. As described in the fourth report in this series, from the last week of the year case detection in the country rose, which marked the beginning of a third epidemic wave, with an evident reflection in case detection in children and adolescents. In the eleven weeks referred to in this report, a new increase in detection is observed, with between more than 600 and up to 800 weekly cases recorded until week 12. From that moment, detection rises to more than 1,000 weekly cases. In correspondence with the increase in cases, the detection rates show values close to or above 3 in 10,000 children and adolescents until week 12, and rise to more than 4 in 10,000 in the following weeks of the study. Figure 1a. Thus, the evolution of case detection in children and adolescents throughout all epidemiological weeks since the beginning of the pandemic in Cuba, demonstrates that the most intense transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has occurred in what is considered a third epidemic wave. This intensified in the last five weeks of the study.

As in the previous report, imported cases, which totaled 97 between weeks 1 and 6, are not included in this in- crease. Between weeks 7 and 17, 37 imported cases were confirmed, which came mostly from Russia (17), and other countries like the United States (6), Mexico (5) and Spain (4). Imported cases had dropped to 3% between weeks 1 and 6. Between weeks 7 and 17, they represent 0.4% of confirmed cases, the majority of them being Cuban nationals residing in the country, concentrated in the provinces of La Habana, Ciego de Ávila and Camagüey. Figure 2. Between weeks 1 and 6, which showed a notable increase of transmission in the country, the detection of cases in children and adolescents was slightly more than 11% of total confirmed cases. In all of the weeks analyzed in this report, the proportion of cases from 0 to 18 years is above 12% and reaches values close to 15% in the last weeks of the study (Weeks 13, 14, 17). Figure 3.

Source: Daily MINSAP reports. Database of the Health Watch Office. The 12-to-18-years age group remains the one with more detected cases from the total in children and adolescents. Nevertheless, in the previous report this age group represented 49.29% of total cases from 0 to 18 years, a value that drops to 44.8% between weeks 7 and 17. This happens due to the increase of the percentage of detected cases in the 0-to-5-years age group, which rises from 24.40% to 27.78% in this period. -4- LA COVID-19 EN NIÑOS Y ADOLESCENTES CUBANOS. QUINTO REPORTE. SEMANAS EPIDEMIOLÓGICAS.... Case detection in children from 0 to 5 years and from 6 to 11 remains, as in previous reports, below the propor- tion these groups represent of the country’s total 0-to-18-years population. Nevertheless, in the 0-to-5-years group, the increase in detected cases brings it closer to matching the proportion of the country’s total population of chil- dren and adolescents this group represents. The 12-to-18-years group, with 37.32% of this population, concentrates 44.8% of the cases, which maintains its overrepresentation in the incidence of COVID-19 in the country.

(a) Cases by age groups as percentage of total cases from 0 to 18 years (b) Confirmed cases by age groups and epidemiological weeks. Source: Daily MINSAP reports. Database of the Health Watch Office. A more detailed look to the 0-to-5-years group by weeks produces alarming information, when it reaches 30% of total detected cases in children and adolescents by week 17. This value is similar to the 30.73% this age group repre- sents in the structure of the population from 0 to 18 years of age. Figure 6. Should this trend continue, the 0-to-5-years group may get to be overrepresented in the incidence of the epide- mic in the country. And although the mass media have been making multiple appeals for several months to family and household members, unquestionably the ones responsible for the protection of children, it seems these have not had an impact so far in the reduction of the virus’s transmission in this age group. Such a trend would merit more detailed analyses of the behavior of household members, and perhaps even new measures for control and support of mothers or guardians with no other family support, single mothers, or mothers who continue to attend their workplaces.

    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

Ground or air surveys or both were conducted at all identified potential areas and locations previously reported in the literature. We define the current distribution as 10 separate localities in six provinces and the estimated total number of cranes at 526 individuals for the country. Two populations reported in the literature were no longer present and two localities not previously reported were discovered. The actual number of cranes at two localities was not possible to evaluate due to their rarity. Only four areas (Isle of Youth, Matanzas, Ciego de Avila, and Sancti Spiritus) each support more than 70 cranes.

    Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago de Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse E. Hoffnung-Garskof, Co-Chair Professor Rebecca J. Scott, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paulina L. Alberto Professor Emerita Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Jean M. Hébrard, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Professor Martha Jones To Paul ii Acknowledgments One of the great joys and privileges of being a historian is that researching and writing take us through many worlds, past and present, to which we become bound—ethically, intellectually, emotionally. Unfortunately, the acknowledgments section can be just a modest snippet of yearlong experiences and life-long commitments. Archivists and historians in Cuba and Spain offered extremely generous support at a time of severe economic challenges. In Havana, at the National Archive, I was privileged to get to meet and learn from Julio Vargas, Niurbis Ferrer, Jorge Macle, Silvio Facenda, Lindia Vera, and Berta Yaque. In Santiago, my research would not have been possible without the kindness, work, and enthusiasm of Maty Almaguer, Ana Maria Limonta, Yanet Pera Numa, María Antonia Reinoso, and Alfredo Sánchez. The directors of the two Cuban archives, Martha Ferriol, Milagros Villalón, and Zelma Corona, always welcomed me warmly and allowed me to begin my research promptly. My work on Cuba could have never started without my doctoral committee’s support. Rebecca Scott’s tireless commitment to graduate education nourished me every step of the way even when my self-doubts felt crippling.

Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.
