"The Little Mermaid" (Danish: Den lille havfrue) is a literary fairy tale written by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. The story follows the journey of a young mermaid who is willing to give up her life in the sea as a mermaid to gain a human soul. The tale was first published in 1837 as part of a collection of fairy tales for children. The original story has been a subject of multiple analyses by scholars such as Jacob Bøggild and Pernille Heegaard as well as the folklorist Maria Tatar. These analyses cover various aspects of the story from interpreting the themes to discussing why Andersen chose to write a tragic story with a happy ending. It has been adapted to various media, including musical theatre, anime, ballet, opera, and film. There is also a statue portraying the mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the story was written and first published.
The Little Mermaid lives in an underwater kingdom with her widowed father (Mer-King), her dowager grandmother, and her five older sisters, each of whom had been born one year apart. When a mermaid turns fifteen, she is permitted to swim to the surface for the first time to catch a glimpse of the world above, and when the sisters become old enough, each of them visits the upper world one at a time every 365 days. As each returns, the Little Mermaid listens longingly to their various descriptions of the world inhabited by human beings.
The Little Mermaid becomes melancholy and asks her grandmother if humans can live forever. The grandmother explains that humans have a much shorter lifespan than a mermaid's 300 years but that they have an eternal soul that lives on in heaven, while mermaids turn to sea foam at death and cease to exist. The Little Mermaid, longing for the prince and an eternal soul, visits the Sea Witch who lives in a dangerous part of the ocean. The witch willingly helps her by selling her a potion that gives her legs in exchange for her beautiful voice, as the Little Mermaid has the most enchanting voice in the entire world. The witch warns the Little Mermaid that once she becomes a human, she will never be able to return to the sea. Consuming the potion will make her feel as if a sword is being passed through her body, yet when she recovers, she will have two human legs and will be able to dance like no human has ever danced before. However, she will constantly feel as if she is walking on sharp knives. In addition, she will obtain a soul only if she wins the love of the prince and marries him, for then a part of his soul will flow into her. Otherwise, at dawn on the first day after he marries someone else, the Little Mermaid will die with a broken heart and dissolve into sea foam upon the waves.
"The Little Mermaid" was written in 1836 and first published by C.A. Reitzel in Copenhagen on 7 April 1837 in the first collection of Fairy Tales Told for Children. (Eventyr, fortalte for Børn. Første Samling. Tredie Hefte. 1837). The story was republished on 18 December 1849 as a part of Fairy Tales. 1850 (Eventyr. 1850) and again on 15 December 1862 as a part of the first volume of Fairy Tales and Stories. (Eventyr og Historier. Første Bind. 1862).[1]
In 1958, NBC began airing a new television show titled Shirley Temple's Storybook, an American children's anthology series that was hosted and narrated by actress Shirley Temple. The series features adaptations of fairy tales like Mother Goose and other family-oriented stories performed by well-known actors. The first season of sixteen black-and-white and colored episodes aired on NBC between 12 January 1958, and 21 December 1958, as Shirley Temple's Storybook. Thirteen episodes of the first season re-ran on ABC beginning on 12 January 1959.[19] The second season of twenty-five color episodes aired on NBC as The Shirley Temple Show between 18 September 1960, and 16 July 1961 in much the same format that it had under its original title.
In this report, health-care personnel (HCP) are defined as persons (e.g.,employees, students, contractors, attending clinicians, public-safetyworkers, or volunteers) whose activities involve contact with patients or with blood or other body fluids frompatients in a health-care, laboratory, or public-safety setting. The potential exists for bloodand body fluid exposure to other workers, and the same principles ofexposure management could be applied to other settings.
In several studies, researchers have attempted to assess the effectiveness ofIG following possible exposure to non-A, non-B hepatitis. These studies havebeen difficult to interpret because they lack uniformity in diagnostic criteria andstudy design, and, in all but one study, the first dose of IG was administered beforepotential exposure (48,85,86). In an experiment designed to model HCV transmissionby needlestick exposure in the health-care setting, high anti-HCV titer IG administeredto chimpanzees 1 hour after exposure to HCV-positive blood did not preventtransmission of infection (87). In 1994, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices(ACIP) reviewed available data regarding the prevention of HCV infection with IGand concluded that using IG as PEP for hepatitis C was not supported(88). This conclusion was based on the following facts: No protective antibody response has been identified following HCV infection. Previous studies of IG use to prevent posttransfusion non-A, non-Bhepatitis might not be relevant in making recommendations regarding PEP for hepatitis C. Experimental studies in chimpanzees with IG containing anti-HCV failedto prevent transmission of infection after exposure.No clinical trials have been conducted to assess postexposure use ofantiviral agents (e.g., interferon with or without ribavirin) to prevent HCV infection,and antivirals are not FDA-approved for this indication. Available data suggest thatan established infection might need to be present before interferon can be aneffective treatment. Kinetic studies suggest that the effect of interferon on chronic HCVinfection occurs in two phases. During the first phase, interferon blocks the productionorrelease of virus from infected cells. In the second phase, virus is eradicated fromthe infected cells (89); in this later phase, higher pretreatment alanineaminotransferase (ALT) levels correlate with an increasing decline in infected cells, and the rapidityof the decline correlates with viral clearance. In contrast, the effect ofantiretrovirals when used for PEP after exposure to HIV is based on inhibition of HIV DNAsynthesis early in the retroviral replicative cycle.
In the absence of PEP for HCV, recommendations for postexposuremanagement are intended to achieve early identification of chronic disease and, if present,referral for evaluation of treatment options. However, a theoretical argument isthat intervention with antivirals when HCV RNA first becomes detectable might preventthe development of chronic infection. Data from studies conducted outside theUnited States suggest that a short course of interferon started early in the course ofacute hepatitis C is associated with a higher rate of resolved infection than thatachieved when therapy is begun after chronic hepatitis C has been well established(90--92). These studies used various treatment regimens and included persons withacute disease whose peak ALT levels were 500--1,000 IU/L at the time therapy wasinitiated (2.6--4 months after exposure). 2ff7e9595c
