SHORT REPORT: An outbreak of Microsporum canis in two elementary schools in a rural area around the capital city of Slovenia, 2012
An outbreak of Microsporum canis infection affected 12 persons in two elementary schools over a period of 48 days in 2012 in Slovenia. Epidemiological, microbiological, and animal investigations were conducted. We defined cases as pupils or employees with skin lesions and confirmed or probable M. canis infection, attending one of the implicated elementary schools. Two clusters of six primary and six secondary cases were included in an unmatched case-control study. Contact with an adopted stray kitten at a birthday party was identified as the most probable source of infection. Secondary cases were more likely to have participated in gymnastic classes with a primary case than controls and were also more likely to have touched an infected child. Prompt communication and implementation of adequate control measures after the primary cases occurred would have prevented the secondary cases in another school.

Predicting Consumption Time: The Role of Event Valence and Unpacking
How much time do consumers predict they will spend on using a product or service when they have control over the usage time? We propose that their predicted consumption time is systematically influenced by the valence and the representation of the target event. In three studies, we show that consumers predict spending more time on a pleasant event when it is unpacked into several subactivities and spending less time on an unpleasant event when it is unpacked. We also investigate the underlying mechanism and demonstrate that (1) people have a lay belief that they spend more (less) time on more (less) pleasant events and (2) unpacking increases the intensity of predicted consumption experience. We further show that these changes in time predictions influence consumption decisions and address alternative explanations, including mood, mood regulation, and attention. In closing, we discuss theoretical and managerial implications.

The royalty Commonwealth summit
The first Commonwealth Summit to be hosted in London for 40 years was held in April 2018. The two-day Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm) followed three days of civil society and business forums and one day of ministerial meetings. British senior ministers and many members of the royal family addressed the Youth, Women’s, People’s, and Business Forums. Heads of government adopted a Blue Charter, new guidelines for election observation, an agenda for trade and investment connectivity and a cyber security declaration, but the only matter to get serious media mention was their endorsement of the Queen’s wish that Prince Charles would one day succeed her as head of the Commonwealth.
