West Nile Virus (WNV) Activity in Humans and Mosquitos West Nile virus (WNV) activity in humans and mosquitos Summary of 2018 Following is a summary of human cases, animals, birds and mosquitos positive for WNV by location for 2018. In 2018, 147 human cases of West Nile Fever (WNF) were reported in Israel, of which 62 were suspected*. As expected, most of the morbidity occurred during the summer and autumn months, with over 50 patients in August alone. The level of morbidity was higher than the 2011-2017 average. Most of the patients this year resided in the Coastal Plain area. The distribution of patients by district was: North (19), Haifa (38), Central (54), Tel- Aviv (27), Jerusalem (1) and South (8). A significant increase was noted in the number of infected animals as compared to the last few years. אגף לאפידמיולוגיה Division of Epidemiology משרד הבריאות Ministry of Health ת.ד.1176 ירושלים P.O.B 1176 Jerusalem [email protected] [email protected] טל: 02-5080522 פקס: Tel: 972-2-5080522 Fax: 972-2-5655950 02-5655950 In 2018, WNV infected mosquitos were found in 42 locations in the country. In the middle of June in the Valley of Springs at the Northern District and in Yehuda Plains; in July, in the Jordan Rift Valley in addition to the Valley of Springs and in Rehovot area, in August, in the Jerusalem area and in the Coastal Plain; in September, in the Galilee, the Hula Valley, in the Jerusalem area and in the Coastal Plain; in October, in the Arabah Valley and in the Samaria area; and in November, in the Arabah Valley. * A "suspected" human case refers to a patient whose lab test results indicate a possibility of infection with WNV. A human "confirmed" case refers to a patient whose lab test results show a definite infection with WNV. The final definition status of a case patient who initially was diagnosed as "suspected" may be changed to "confirmed" due to additional lab test results that were obtained over time. אגף לאפידמיולוגיה Division of Epidemiology משרד הבריאות Ministry of Health ת.ד.1176 ירושלים P.O.B 1176 Jerusalem [email protected] [email protected] טל: 02-5080522 פקס: Tel: 972-2-5080522 Fax: 972-2-5655950 02-5655950 Table 1: Positive test results for WNV in humans by location: Date sample Diagnostic status Locality No. Locality Chamber received in lab according to lab 1 Umm Al-Fahm 15/10/2018 Confirmed Natanya 2 Or Yehuda 25/07/2018 Confirmed Tel aviv Or Aqiva 12/08/2018 Suspected Hadera 3 Or Aqiva 02/09/2018 Suspected Hadera 4 Oranit 06/09/2018 Confirmed Petah-tiqwa 5 Azor 28/05/2018 Suspected Tel aviv 6 Elat 12/08/2018 Confirmed Beer Sheva 7 Elyakhin 25/06/2018 Confirmed Natanya 8 I'billin 09/01/2018 Suspected Akko Ashdod 22/07/2018 Confirmed Ashqelon 9 Ashdod 26/12/2018 Suspected Ashqelon Baqa Al-Gharbiyye 14/08/2018 Confirmed Hadera 10 Baqa Al-Gharbiyye 23/09/2018 Suspected Hadera 11 Binyamina-Giva'at Ada 29/08/2018 Suspected Hadera 12 Bizzaron 12/01/2018 Suspected Ashqelon Bene Beraq 15/07/2018 Suspected Tel aviv Bene Beraq 30/07/2018 Confirmed Tel aviv Bene Beraq 12/09/2018 Confirmed Tel aviv 13 Bene Beraq 21/09/2018 Suspected Tel aviv Bene Beraq 16/09/2018 Confirmed Tel aviv Bene Beraq 29/10/2018 Suspected Tel aviv 14 Basma 27/09/2018 Confirmed Hadera 15 Bazra 19/08/2018 Confirmed Natanya אגף לאפידמיולוגיה Division of Epidemiology משרד הבריאות Ministry of Health ת.ד.1176 ירושלים P.O.B 1176 Jerusalem [email protected] [email protected] טל: 02-5080522 פקס: Tel: 972-2-5080522 Fax: 972-2-5655950 02-5655950 Table 1: Positive test results for WNV in humans by location -

    [RADIOCARBON, VOL. 13, No. 2, 1971, P. 412-419] REI-I®VOT RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS I I. CARMI, Y. NOTER, and R. SCHLESINGER Department of Isotope Research, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel The Rehovot Radiocarbon Laboratory was established in 1968, as an extension of a low-level tritium laboratory, which has been in opera- tion many years. Intended to be a supporting facility in geohydrological studies, the laboratory now offers general services in carbon dating. For measurements, we use proportional gas counting of ethane, at 2100 torr. The sample counter is a modified RCL counter, of 1.1 L volume; it is operated at 5600 volts. The counter is surrounded, respec- tively, by a Johnston GRC-13 anticoincidence guard counter, 2 cm old lead, 10 cm boron loaded paraffin, and 25 cm pre-2nd-world-war steel. Samples are counted in four channels, in anticoincidence with the guard counter. The four channels count disintegrations between the following energies: channel l: 1 to 18 keV, channel 2: 18 to 59 keV, channel 3: 59 to 155 keV, and channel 4: above 155 keV. C14 is counted in the two middle channels; channel 1 is rejected against possible tritium con- tamination, and channel 4 is used to detect Radon contamination. The working point is determined by coincidence counting of charged cosmic particles: the ratio of count rates in the two sample channels is adjusted to 1. The acquisition and processing of counting data is done automati- cally by an on-line computer (Carmi and Ashkenazi, 1970). Background samples are prepared from alabaster or from anthracite.

    Staring Back at the Sun: Video Art from Israel, 1970-2012 An Exhibition and Public Program Touring Internationally, 2016-2017 Roee Rosen, still from Confessions Coming Soon, 2007, video. 8:40 minutes. Video, possibly more than any other form of communication, has shaped the world in radical ways over the past half century. It has also changed contemporary art on a global scale. Its dual “life” as an agent of mass communication and an artistic medium is especially intertwined in Israel, where artists have been using video artistically in response to its use in mass media and to the harsh reality video mediates on a daily basis. The country’s relatively sudden exposure to commercial television in the 1990s coincided with the Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, and major shifts in internal politics. Artists responded to this in what can now be considered a “renaissance” of video art, with roots traced back to the ’70s. An examination of these pieces, many that have rarely been presented outside Israel, as well as recent, iconic works from the past two decades offers valuable lessons on how art and culture are shaped by larger forces. Staring Back at the Sun: Video Art from Israel, 1970-2012 traces the development of contemporary video practice in Israel and highlights work by artists who take an incisive, critical perspective towards the cultural and political landscape in Israel and beyond. Showcasing 35 works, this program includes documentation of early performances, films and videos, many of which have never been presented outside of Israel until now. Informed by the international 1 history of video art, the program surveys the development of the medium in Israel and explores how artists have employed technology and material to examine the unavoidable and messy overlap of art and politics.
