Chronic Hepatitis C in the Czech Republic: Forecasting the Disease
Cent Eur J Public Health 2019; 27 (2): 93–98 CHRONIC HEPATITIS C IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC: FORECASTING THE DISEASE BURDEN Soňa Fraňková1, Petr Urbánek2, Petr Husa3, Vratislav Němeček4, Homie Razavi5, Devin Razavi-Shearer5, Roman Chlíbek6, Jan Šperl1 1Department of Hepatogastroenterology, Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Prague, Czech Republic 2Department of Internal Medicine, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Central Military Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic 3Clinic of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital Brno, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic 4National Reference Laboratory for Hepatitis, National Institute of Public Health, Prague, Czech Republic 5Center for Disease Analysis, Lafayette, Colorado, USA 6Department of Epidemiology, Vaccination Centre, Faculty of Military Health Sciences, University of Defence, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic SUMMARY Objective: Chronic HCV infection is associated with cirrhosis of the liver, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver transplantation. HCV disease burden and the impact of new potent direct acting antivirals (DAAs) in the Czech Republic are unknown. Methods: Using a modelling framework, HCV disease progression in the Czech Republic was predicted to 2030 under the current standard of care treatment structure. In addition, two strategies to reduce the future burden of HCV infection were modelled: an incremental increase in treatment annually and WHO targets. Results: The number of viremic infected individuals in the Czech Republic is estimated to peak in 2026 (n = 55,130) and to decline by 0.5% by 2030 (n = 54,840). The number of individuals with compensated cirrhosis (n = 1,400), decompensated cirrhosis (n = 80), HCC (n = 70), and liver- related deaths (n = 60) is estimated to more than double by 2030.

Culture Report Eunic Yearbook 2011 Culture Report Eunic Yearbook 2011
CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 Cultural relations are the glue that holds alliances together. The geopolitics of the 21st century mean we need to see a revival of cultural diplomacy. China and India are already expanding their external cultural policies. Despite Europe‘s huge cultural diversity, the EU has still not developed an adequate cultural strategy for its foreign policy. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provides an opportunity to tighten up and co-ordinate the EU‘s existing cultural foreign policy. In this edition of the Culture Report, 30 authors from 20 different countries examine what this all means. Foreword: Crisis and new awakenings by Sebastian Körber 4 CHAPTER 1: EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVES A Brave New World - Globalisation as Europe’s touchstone by Yang Lian 8 All talk and no action by Mai’a K.

The Polish Institute of International Affairs Transatlantic Leadership Network Editors: Sławomir Dębski and Daniel S. Hamilton Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality EUROPE WHOLE AND FREE: VISION AND REALITY Editors Sławomir Dębski and Daniel S. Hamilton PRAISE FOR EUROPE WHOLE AND FREE: VISION AND REALITY “The goal of a Europe whole, free and at peace remains as vital today as it did in 1989. This important book brings together policymakers and experts from both sides of the Atlantic for a timely discussion of how to achieve that goal for the 21st century.” — Madeleine K. Albright Former Secretary of State between 1997–2001 “Europe is not yet Whole and Free as we dreamt it would be in the heady days of 1989. But Europe is wholer and freer than it has ever been in its history. Russia and Belarus are the only two countries whose people are denied the right to choose their own government. One day they will have that right which the rest of Europe now enjoys. This volume of essays is essential reading for those who wish to understand the last 30 years; three decades of European history which, whatever the setbacks and disappointments, have transformed our continent and the lives of those who are its citizens.” —Sir Malcolm Rifkind served as Foreign Minister and Minister of Defence in the United Kingdom Government between 1992–1997 „A great book about Europe‘s finest years, a convincing but unfinished strategic architecture.“ —Volker Rühe served as Federal Minister of Defence in German Government between 1992–1998 Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality The Polish Institute of International Affairs Transatlantic Leadership Network Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality Editors: Sławomir Dębski and Daniel S.

The artistic and educational part of the celebrations entitled "Poznań and Budapest as cities of Freedom - 1956, 1989" will start at 1:30 p.m. at the Rialto Cinema. The program will further include: ﬁlm screenings, lectures and a concert of the Tamás Szarka Trio. The Hungarian revolution of 1956 began on 23 October with a rally of students in Budapest as a sign of solidarity with Poland. The demonstrators referred to the workers' uprising of 28 June 1956 in Poznan. The Hungarian Revolt was an attempt of the Hungarian people to free themselves from Soviet domination and break the monopoly of the communist party. Unfortunately, this heroic act of courage was bloodily suppressed by the Soviet army, which entered Budapest on 4 November 1956. In total 2,700 Hungarians were killed as a result of the Soviet intervention, and almost 20,000 were wounded. Due to the situation prevailing after the revolution in Hungary, about 200,000 people who feared repression, ﬂed the country.

New Directions in Cultural Diplomacy
This is an advance copy of an essay to be published in 2010 by Real Instituto Elcano, Madrid, in a collection entitled “Cultura y Proyección Exterior: Nuevos Valores y Estrategias de Acción”. It is not to be reproduced or circulated without the approval of the author. New Directions Steve Green1 William Gibson’s frequently quoted statement “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed”, applies to cultural diplomacy. The new directions promise to usher in a transformation of cultural diplomacy. They will add new strands of activity, lead to a re-assessment of existing ways of operating and introduce new items to the cultural diplomacy toolkit. This essay surveys the new directions in global cultural diplomacy. A standard difficulty in surveys is the lack of an agreed terminology. Is the field to be referred to as “cultural diplomacy”, “cultural PR”, “public diplomacy”, “nation branding”? Different countries, different organizations, different authors use the terms almost interchangeably. This essay uses “cultural diplomacy” and returns to the terminology issue in its final section. It will be useful to start with a set of opening parameters in mind. Rod Fisher has a seven point list of the principal objectives of a country’s foreign cultural policy. They are: • to promote cultural diplomacy • to develop cultural relations • to support the export of a nation’s cultural products and creative industries • to underpin the development of beneficial new trading arrangements • to attract tourism and perhaps inward investment • to enhance programme aid in developing countries and • To create an informed and primarily favourable picture of a country to the “outside world”.2 1 Steve Green is Team Leader for the EUNIC presidency.
