Killer disease marches on

MERS-CoV, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in Saudi Arabia, has claimed four new victims, the cases confirmed in laboratories. In the last year there have been 50 deaths from 108 laboratory-confirmed cases, indicating a mortality rate of some 46%.

The latest four laboratory-confirmed cases were reported by the World Health Organization on August 30, a 55-year-old man from Medina, Saudi Arabia who is hospitalized and another man, 38, from Hafar-al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, who died nine days after contracting the disease. Two of his family members are also infected (a 16-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl).

MERS-CoV is a severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) which has caused 108 laboratory-confirmed cases in the last year, occasioning 50 deaths. There have been other cases outside those reported. The advice for now from the World Health organization is vigilance, surveillance-reporting and screening, particularly of travelers returning from the Middle East who develop respiratory infections, and especially those who also develop atypical symptoms such as diarrhea.

The transmission mechanism is as yet unknown however the advice from the WHO that "Health care facilities that provide care for patients suspected or confirmed with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus to other patients, health care workers and visitors" would indicate that there is a risk that this dangerous disease could have human-to-human transmission mechanisms, a theory which is backed up by close family members contracting the disease.

For this reason, why does the WHO not advise trade and travel restrictions to the Middle East in general and in particular, to Saudi Arabia? Or is the general idea to allow the disease to propagate itself only for us to discover that those in charge of the United States of America's institutions have their hands in the Pharmaceutical lobbies?

The new killer virus in the Middle East, novel coronavirus, aka Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is deadly, there is no cure, its transmission mechanisms are hazy, there have been cases of human to human transmission, yes, according to the WHO, "The Emergency Committee, which comprises international experts from all WHO Regions, unanimously advised that, with the information now available, and using a risk-assessment approach, the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) have not at present been met".

Until when? When it is too late? A 50 per cent death rate is staggeringly high...

Corecon Technologies Brings Construction Software Suite To The Classroom

Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) - Corecon Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of web-based construction software, is offering free licenses of Corecon V7 cloud-based estimating and construction project management software to colleges and universities with construction management or related majors. The software provides engineering students with the opportunity to use the latest construction technology prior to entering the workforce.

Students need to differentiate themselves from other job candidates when applying for their first professional position in construction, and experience using forward-looking technology like Corecon V7 gives them the competitive advantage they need to win over perspective employers, says Norman J. Wendl, president of Corecon Technologies, Inc.

Construction firms, especially in the small business market, do not have time to research the latest technology on the market or to train new employees in their use, explains Wendl. These firms want to hire college graduates who already have technological experience and can instantly put their skills in practice at their company.

Unlike many other construction software choices on the market, Corecon V7 is a complete estimating and project management tool. Students using Corecon V7 cloud-based software are exposed to the latest technology for managing every aspect of the business from estimating through project close-out. The software includes modules for business development, estimating, vendor bid management, contract administration, procurement, time tracking, document control, correspondence and scheduling.

Corecon V7 also teaches students how to effectively collaborate with remote project team members through access to Corecons online TeamLink Portal. This invaluable online collaboration tool gives team members access to accurate and timely project information no matter their location. They can also use multiple devices such as a netbook, laptop computer, tablet or smart phone just as if they were working from multiple jobsites, construction trailers and offices as is common in todays construction environment.

"Every construction project is different and there are many variables to manage. Some may even argue that its more challenging than manufacturing," says Wendl. "Corecon V7 is broad and deep in terms of functionality and incorporates a well-defined business process for construction firms to gain efficiencies in their operations. Students learning our solution gain an understanding of how information flows from the estimating department to project management and finally accounting, bringing a thorough perspective of the project management process and adding instant value to their new employer."

Since 2011, Corecon Technologies has been providing software and training support at no charge to construction management programs at universities and colleges in the U.S. and Canada. Illinois State University and Mohawk College of Applied Arts & Technology are among those educational institutions currently offering hands-on Corecon V7 training to its students.

Kevin Haluik, professor of building and construction sciences at Mohawk College, says that his third year Architectural Technology students will be working on what they call their capstone Jury Presentation, which is a design-build or construction management proposal to a panel of peers, faculty and industry. I plan to use Corecon exclusively for the groups to coordinate, communicate and use all of the tools to generate a majority of the requirements for their proposal, says Haluik.

I chose Corecon primarily because it offers an all-in-one package that is more intuitive than some of the other platforms available, explains Haluik. Another benefit with Corecon is the functionality of the tools, which allows for better project integration. An additional bonus of the software is that it is geared toward small to mid-size firms, which is where majority of my students end up working, making it possible to use an easier, more affordable software platform like Corecon applicable in their future careers.

Universities and colleges interested in adding Corecon V7 to their construction management curriculum should contact Corecon Technologies at 1-866-258-6698. Login information will be provided within two hours of ordering.
