Telephone follow-up interviews were carried out after 2–7 days. Overall, 153 bathers out of 555 reported probable cercarial dermatitis at follow-up. Median daily attack rate was 27±7% (2±2–57±7%). Of the cases, 11±1% noticed more than 30 skin lesions, 19±6% described severe itching, 50±3% used a drug treatment, 3±9% visited a doctor and 15% claimed they would reduce their bathing activities. History of cercarial dermatitis, time spent in the water, hour of the day, barometric pressure and maximum daily atmospheric temperature predicted disease occurrence in multivariate analysis. While a benign disease, cercarial dermatitis may have a negative impact on the local water recreation industry. The identification of risk factors for the disease may help produce better preventive recommendations for the bathers. and swim freely into the surrounding water.

  • The Permanent Neutrality Treaties
    THE PERMANENTNEUTRALITY TREATIES The present European war has thrown into sharp relief the status of those smaller governments which, although in nowise shorn of attributes of sovereignty within their own borders, have nevertheless been placed by virtue of most solemn inter- national guarantees in a position of perpetual neutrality towards all other Powers. They are not to wage offensive warfare, nor, if the obligations resulting from these guarantees are faithfully observed, may their territories be in any degree the theatre of hostilities. While the chief examples of this peculiar status,- Belgium, Luxemburg and Switzerland,-are plainly, by reason of restricted area and population, in no condition to cope with the greater powers surrounding them, it is not alone their lack of size or strength that has marked them out for permanent neutrality or neutralization, but rather their essential relation to the map of Europe and the many conflicting interests innate in its geographical outlines which have seemed to make neces- sary their fixed withdrawal from plans of rivalry or territorial ambition and the creation in this manner of certain inter-spaces destined for peace whatever may be the fate of their more powerful neighbors. The precise conditions of such a neutrality are to be found in a long line of treaties and agreements comprising within their horizon a great variety of objects. For the purpose of the present examination, however, we shall lay out of detailed view all aspects of permanent neutrality save those attaching to the three governments just named since to consider the various phases of the subject would require much more space than that at the disposal of a single article.

Daughton Professor John Connelly Professor Jonah Levy Spring 2011 The Daily Plebiscite: Political Culture and National Identity in Nice and Savoy, 1860–1880 Copyright 2011 Mark Alexander Sawchuk Abstract The Daily Plebiscite: Political Culture and National Identity in Nice and Savoy, 1860–1880 by Mark Alexander Sawchuk Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Carla Hesse, Chair Using the French philosopher Ernest Renan’s dictum that the “nation’s existence is ... a daily plebiscite” as an ironic point of departure, this dissertation examines the contours of oppositional political culture to the French annexation of the County of Nice and the Duchy of Savoy in 1860. Ceded by treaty to France by the northern Italian kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, these two mountainous border territories had long been culturally and geo-strategically in the French orbit. Unlike their counterparts in any other province of France, the inhabitants of the two territories were asked to approve or reject the annexation treaty, and thus their incorporation into France, in a plebiscite employing universal male suffrage.

  • Centre D'hébergement Collectif D'anières
    CENTRE D’HÉBERGEMENT COLLECTIF D’ANIÈRES (capacité de 263 personnes) Adresse du centre : Chemin des Ambys 65 1247 Anières N° du Centre : 022 420 54 00 UN PEU D’HISTOIRE… C’est l’histoire d’un bâtiment du 19ème siècle perdu au milieu de la campagne aniéroise. Entouré de champs à perte de vue, il accueille, depuis une quinzaine d’années environ, un centre de requérants d’asile. L’histoire de cette immense bâtisse est peu connue de la population locale. Pourtant, elle a derrière elle un passé singulier. Un hôpital pour les indigents Tout commence en 1873, au décès du duc de Brunschwig. Ce personnage, fantasque et original, lègue sa fortune entière à la ville de Genève. De nombreux bâtiments sont construits grâce à cet argent et notamment, à Anières, un centre d’accueil pour des personnes âgées indigentes. Cet hôpital, ancêtre de l’Hospice général, fonctionne jusqu’au début du 20ème siècle, avant de devenir, entre les deux guerres, un centre de formation pour gardes-frontières. Former des jeunes juifs A la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, le bâtiment est racheté par l’ORT (Organisation, Reconstruction, Travail). Cette organisation hébraïque, créée en 1881, à Saint Pétersbourg, a pour objectif de former les jeunes juifs à travers le monde. En 1947, un des leaders de l’ORT, Aaron Syngalowski, décide de créer un institut pour la formation d’enseignants et de cadres et l’installe au centre d’Anières. La shoah a décimé une grande partie de la population juive en Europe et a fait disparaître avec elle des pans entiers de connaissances et de compétences.
