Grippe A/H1N1: huit cas de virus présentant une mutation signalés en Chine par les autorités

De ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – Il y a 15 heures

PEKIN — Huit cas de virus de la grippe A/H1N1 présentant une mutation ont été détectés en Chine, a rapporté mercredi un représentant des autorités sanitaires, en soulignant que les vaccins et les traitements antigrippaux avaient conservé leur efficacité face à cette mutation.

Les virus grippaux pouvant aisément muter, les scientifiques sont attentifs aux signes révélant une modification du virus de la grippe A/H1N1, qui pourrait le rendre plus dangereux ou plus infectieux.

Shu Yuelong, directeur du Centre national chinois contre la grippe, a précisé à l'agence officielle Chine nouvelle que les cas de virus ayant subi une mutation concernaient des cas "isolés" en Chine continentale, qu'ils n'étaient pas résistants aux médicaments et pouvaient être prévenus au moyen de vaccins.

Aucun autre détail n'a été fourni, notamment sur la date à laquelle ces cas ont été détectés et s'ils sont liés à des décès.

Vivian Tan, porte-parole de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Pékin, a déclaré que l'OMS ne disposait pas d'informations sur les cas mentionnés mercredi par Chine nouvelle.

Vendredi, l'OMS avait annoncé qu'elle étudiait des échantillons de virus de la grippe A/H1N1 présentant une mutation, qui avaient été prélevés chez trois personnes en Norvège, dont deux étaient mortes.

Digital technology has evolved dramatically, changing the way Canadians work, live and engage locally and globally. The emergence of the Internet has blurred the line between creators, users, producers, and distributors of copyrighted works.

Canadian copyright law needs to be updated to give Canadian creators and consumers the tools they need to engage with confidence in the digital marketplace. These updates will also help foster creativity, innovation and economic growth.

The Government believes that Canadians themselves must be able to contribute if future updates are to be a true reflection of Canada’s interests. These nation-wide consultations are intended to provide all Canadians with a chance to voice their opinions on what is needed to make the system work, and to ensure that all perspectives are taken into account on copyright modernization.

Ends up the App Store review team simply doesn’t deal with copyright and trademark verification (with the exception of enforcing Apple’s own trademarks, of course). Any beef Nintendo has ([...]) is between Nintendo and Mariolife’s developer. Makes sense.

A partir du moment où Apple touche un tiers du produit des ventes, ça en fait pas sens du tout qu'ils n'aient rien à faire de la propriété intellectuelle concernant les applications qu'ils choisissent de distribuer.

Fascinating and very interesting. I may add another law to your experiment, though it would have to be repeated again to see if it's working.

Law 3: A fractal pattern encourages participation.

A fractal pattern is simple enough that the gratification is direct. One can draw a small shape which already makes sense to the person. (I have participated!). But because of the self-structure of fractal pattern, one is participating to a bigger scheme. Sense of collective achievement with grand goals.

Once the structure is big enough, it becomes visible, organized and then it is an object of power, which in return is its weakness. (Colonial states versus Guerrilla/Terrorism). Wikipedia becomes so big that it fights for copyright or have editors censoring content.

Though I kind of disagree with the conclusion of blogs versus wikis. Blogs are indeed easier to maintain but would it be because wikis are not really object of the commons, aka, there is still someone owning the object, it is a property of someone in the end.

I wonder also if there is a density rule in action. A tribe in a large forest with free will to move as they please versus a piece of land with a lot of people. There is very little destruction when the space is infinite. Take the drawing above and imagine a space which is infinite (possible in digital space), would participant try to destroy the work of others or just go further away to do their own drawing?

What Is Copyright?

Copyright is a legal concept giving the creator of an original artistic work rights over their work for a limited time.

Before the 1911 Act in Britain – on which copyright law in Bangladesh is based – the protection was between 7 and 14 years. In 1911 it was increased to 50 years from creation of the work. In 1956 it was increased further to 50 years from 1st publication. Towards the end of the last century it was 70 plus life of the author.
