Interest of a cohort of adult subjects with HIV infection estimated date in Sub-Saharan
No full textL’infection par le VIH est caractérisée en l’absence d’intervention par une évolution progressive vers un état d’immunodépression favorisant la survenue d’affections opportunistes et entrainant le décès. La connaissance de l’évolution spontanée de l’infection par le VIH repose sur les données observationnelles issues des cohortes. La meilleure façon d’aborder l’histoire naturelle de cette infection est de l’étudier à partir de la date de séroconversion, ce qui ne peut se faire que dans les cohortes dites incidentes. Ces cohortes incidentes font appel à des structures parfois lourdes et des procédures rigoureuses que l’on peut plus aisément mettre en place dans les pays à ressources élevées. Les cohortes de personnes à date estimée de séroconversion permettent d’identifier les facteurs de risque de la transmission, d’étudier l’évolution de l’infection, d’étudier l’évolution de ses marqueurs et ses déterminants en minimisant le biais de sélection inhérent aux études prévalentes. L’évolution naturelle concerne la période qui s’écoule entre la date d’infection et le décès pour les patients qui n’ont pas bénéficié de prescription du traitement antirétroviral. Cette période s’arrête à la date de prescription des antirétroviraux pour ceux qui en bénéficient.La cohorte ANRS 1220 Primo-CI de personnes à date estimée de séroconversion pour le VIH-1 a été mise en place en juin 1997 sur le site de l'ANRS d'Abidjan en Côte d'Ivoire, au Centre national de transfusion sanguine (CNTS), avec la coordination de l'INSERM U330/593/897-ISPED de Bordeaux. C’est l’une des rares cohortes de séroconverteurs pour le VIH-1 dans le contexte des pays à faibles ressources et l’unique en Afrique de l’ouest. Dans cette cohorte de patients dépistés parmi les donneurs de sang effectuant plus de deux dons de sang par an, les données cliniques et biologiques ont été recueillies régulièrement pour tous les patients, tous les six mois depuis leur inclusion dans la cohorte.Les principaux apports de la cohorte Primo-CI dans la lutte contre le VIH en Côte d’Ivoire, ont consisté à recueillir des informations sur les facteurs de risque d’infection par le VIH pour aider à améliorer la sélection des donneurs de sang. La cohorte Primo-CI a permis d’améliorer également les capacités de la structure de prise en charge qui a servi de centre de recrutement et de prise en charge des patients de la cohorte. Cette cohorte a contribué à la mise en place d’un cadre d’échanges réguliers entre les médecins chargés de la sélection des dons de sang et l’équipe de la cohorte Primo-CI.Nos données ont fourni des estimations de la probabilité d'atteindre les critères d'initiation des antirétroviraux depuis le premier contact dans une population de séroconverteurs récents pour le VIH en Afrique de l’ouest et de la probabilité de survenue des événements morbides au cours du temps.L'ADN intracellulaire du VIH-1 était la variable la plus fortement associée à la progression de la maladie, indépendamment des autres variables explicatives.

The natural history of HIV infection is usually documented based on data from observational cohorts. But the best way to address the natural history of this infection is to observe subjects from the date of their seroconversion (within an “incident” cohort). However these incident cohorts often involve heavy structures and complex procedures that are more easily set-up in high-resources countries.Cohorts of individuals with estimated date of seroconversion can identify risk factors for HIV transmission, study the evolution of the infection, and study the evolution of its markers and determinants by minimizing the selection bias inherent in prevalent studies. The natural history of HIV is defined by the period between the date of infection and either the date of death for patients who were not prescribed antiretroviral therapy or the date of antiretroviral therapy prescription for others.The ANRS 1220 Primo-CI Cohort of people with a known date of HIV-1 seroconversion was launched in June 1997 in the site of the ANRS Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire, National Blood Transfusion Centre (CNTS), with the coordination of U330/593/897-ISPED INSERM Bordeaux. This is one of the few adult cohorts of HIV-1 seroconverters in the context of low-resource countries and the only one in West Africa. Within this cohort of patients recruited among blood donors performing more than two blood donations per year, the clinical and laboratory data were collected routinely every six months from their inclusion.One of the main contributions of the Primo-CI cohort in the fight against HIV in Côte d’Ivoire was the collection of information on the risk factors for HIV infection. It helped to improve the selection of blood donors. It also helped to improve the capacity of the health structure where the cohort patients were recruited and followed-up.This cohort has contributed to establish a system for regular exchanges between physicians responsible for the selection of blood donations and the team of the Primo-CI cohort. Our data have provided estimates of the probability of reaching the criteria for initiating antiretroviral drugs from the first contact and the probability of occurrence of morbid events over time, in a population of recent HIV seroconverters in West Africa.The HIV-1 intracellular DNA was the variable most strongly associated with disease progression, independently of other variables. It was followed by lower CD4. Plasma viral load HIV-1 was poorly associated with disease progression after taking into account the HIV-1 intracellular DNA.Finally, the ANRS 1220 Primo-CI cohort participated in several collaborative studies regarding the threshold of eligibility for antiretroviral drugs, the comparison of the decrease in CD4 lymphocytes with European patients, morbidity and mortality related to AIDS and the predictive role of HIV-1 intracellular DNA.

Wind of Change: l'era del cambiamento nella musica e nella letteratura albanese dei primi anni ’90
No full textThe "winds of change" is a metaphor used for approaching aspects of Albanian music and literature in the immediate years after the communist regime fall. The author focuses in particular on the period between 1990 and 1994, the transitional phase when there was a departure from the aesthetic and ideological frame that had long influenced the arts, consenting a long-awaited possibility of free self-expression. The disintegration of the old cultural system allowed different agencies, witnessing some interesting developments. Although initially fuzzy, they aimed at recovering repertoires that the communist regime had silenced

Reciprocity and Development in Disaster-Induced Resettlement in Andean Ecuador
No full textThis dissertation addresses gaps in anthropological knowledge about how reciprocity--and a specifically Andean form of reciprocity--works in disaster and resettlement settings. This study looks at the practices of reciprocity in a disaster-affected community (Manzano) and a disaster-induced resettlement (Pusuca) in the Andean highlands of Ecuador. Specifically, it examines two aspects of reciprocal exchange practices in these sites. It first looks at some of the factors that affect the continuity of reciprocal exchange practices, which other studies have found to play a vital role in recovery from disasters and resettlement. It then looks to the roles of unequal power relations in the practices of reciprocity and a particularly Andean form of reciprocity and cooperative labor, the minga. The study identifies power-laden dynamics in the practice of reciprocity that tend to be overlooked in studies of social support and mutual aid in disasters and resettlements. I argue that these dynamics are critical to an examination of reciprocity in these contexts because they have important implications for the distribution of relief and development resources.
This study employed an iterative, mixed-method, 3-phase research strategy in the recursive discovery and corroboration of analytical domains and the evaluation of study hypotheses. In the first phase, exploratory observation, key informant interviews, and archival searches identified specific terms, practices, and events in order to design effective structured interview questions. In the second phase, I administered structured interviews to obtain quantitative indicators of reciprocal exchanges between group members, distribution of development benefits and collective resources, and occupational and socioeconomic data. In the third phase, I conducted focused observation and documentation of participation in decision-making, plus patterns of influence in public negotiations of development strategies and aid allocation.
The expectation of hypothesis 1 was that wage employment and residential distance would be negatively associated with minga participation. The results were mixed between the two sites. In Manzano, wage employment was not significantly associated with records of minga participation, but there was a significant negative correlation with residential distance and minga participation. In Pusuca, there were significant negative correlations with wage employment and residential distance with records of minga participation. The expectation of hypothesis 2 was that household exchange participation would be positively associated with minga participation. Multiple tests of the association between household minga attendance and total household exchange participation found positive associations between these two variables in Manzano, but not in Pusuca.
For hypothesis 3a, the expectation was that total household exchange participation would be positively associated with brokerage and decision-making power and statistical tests found a significant positive correlation between these variables in both sites. The implication is that one way that politically powerful individuals exercise and maintain their power is through forming reciprocal exchange ties. Those with more ties are more likely to act as brokers between their neighbors and scarce aid and development resources and more likely to have their views and agendas supported in local decision-making processes.
Hypothesis 3b tests the assumption that households connected through reciprocal exchange relations to highly connected households access a greater share of relief and development resources than others. Statistical tests indicated a significant positive association between being connected to highly connected households and project benefit inclusion in both sites. This suggests that it is not only the powerful that access scarce extra-local resources, but also their less connected allies, which can be taken as evidence of privileged inclusion as a form of power in both sites.
This study contributes to anthropological knowledge about the political economy of reciprocity in disaster-induced resettlements in two ways. First, it looks more broadly at the range of factors that could influence the continuity or disruption of practices of cooperation and reciprocal exchange in resettlement than other studies, which focuses on the narrow influence of policy practice. In this study, I draw on the economic anthropology of reciprocity and posit a possible role of wider political economic processes--growing integration into the capitalist wage labor economy--as an added explanatory factor for the dissolution of reciprocal exchange relations in post-disaster and resettlement contexts. The second way in which I seek to build upon these studies is by foregrounding the ways in which power relations are bound up in reciprocal exchange relations

Application of the PISA framework to the design of offshore wind turbine monopile foundations
No full textThe recently-completed PISA (PIle Soil Analysis) research project aimed to improve the design of monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines (OWT), focusing on laterally-loaded monopiles with length-to-diameter (L/D) ratios between 2 and 6. The project resulted in a novel one-dimensional (1D) design model which overcomes certain limitations in current practice. The PISA 1D design model facilitates rapid design calculations, based on the use of Timoshenko beam theory to represent the monopile. The soil response is modelled via soil reactions, applied along the shaft and at the base of the monopile. The soil reaction curves are determined using a series of three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) calibration calculations, performed prior to the design process, spanning a representative design space. A new software tool called PLAXIS MoDeTo (Monopile Design Tool) has been developed based on this design procedure. This design tool facilitates the automatic generation and calculation of the 3D FE calibration models, the optimisation of the soil reaction curves and the conduct of the 1D design calculations.Geo-engineerin
Muros que hablan
No full textEn un cambio de época, y no simplemente en una época de cambios, la Academia debe incursionar en temáticas un poco marginadas del tratamiento universitario, como es el mundo vedado y olvidado del grafiti.
Muros que hablan es el resultado de una minga cultural, en que participaron profesores y estudiantes de la Universidad Técnica del Norte, de las carreras de Diseño y Publicidad y de Diseño Gráfico liderados por el PhD. Albert Arnavat, profesor titular de esta Universidad. A más de realizar una recopilación seleccionada del grafiti de la provincia de Imbabura, hay una clasificación, diría preliminar: en frases o leyendas, firmas (tags), tipografías, naturaleza, fauna, personajes, rostros, y plantillas, con descripción y análisis pertinente.
El propósito es registrar a través de la fotografía debidamente referenciada, una muestra de los grafitis de Imbabura alrededor de un millar, como material referencial de inspiración para diseñadores, publicistas y artistas plásticos. Además, desborda en este trabajo la voluntad de sacar del anonimato tanto a la obra como a su autor, que de otra forma permanecerían en el “limbo”. Los grafitis, como las personas, nacen, viven y mueren, algunos dejando huella positiva, otros estériles y no pocos hasta fatales. Para bien o para mal, creo que más para lo primero, este libro alargará su vida
A Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus em notícia: melodrama e registo factual
No full textThe controversial establishment of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God in Portugal was the subject of many news reports during the 1990s, in which accusations of serious crimes — from charlatanism to connections to drug trafficking and child abduction — filled the pages of newspapers (G. M. Dias, 2006; R. A. S. Dias, 2016; Farias, 1999; Farias & Santos, 1999; Júnior, 2013; Machado, 2003). Many of these news reports linked the Church with stereotypes about Brazil and Brazilians and referenced Brazilian soap operas, which were quite popular in the country at the time. To observe whether these characteristics have been maintained over the years, the author analysed reports published by the influential newspapers Público and Expresso from the early 21st century (2001 and 2002), in 2010 and 2017, respectively. Inspired by critical discourse analysis and framing analysis, and with the theoretical support of the theory of social representations, such analyses allowed the author to conclude that the characteristics identified in the 1990s remained, although the Church’s media presence has since reduced. In turn, the reference to soap operas manifests in the fabric of journalistic discourse, with a hybridisation formed between the melodramatic and informational genres.O polémico estabelecimento da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus em Portugal deu ensejo a uma cobertura jornalística durante a década de 1990, em que acusações de crimes graves — de charlatanismo a ligações com o narcotráfico e o rapto de crianças — preencheram as páginas dos jornais (G. M. Dias, 2006; R. A. S. Dias, 2016; Farias, 1999; Farias & Santos, 1999; Júnior, 2013; Machado, 2003). Também se observou no discurso jornalístico do período a associação da Igreja a estereótipos sobre o Brasil e os brasileiros e a referência às telenovelas brasileiras, então bastante populares no país. Com o objetivo de observar se estas características se mantiveram ao longo dos anos, analisámos peças publicadas pelos jornais de referência Público e Expresso no início do século XXI (2001 e 2002), em 2010 e em 2017. Inspirada pela análise crítica do discurso e a análise de enquadramentos, e com o suporte teórico da teoria das representações sociais, tal análise permitiu-nos concluir que se mantém as características identificadas nos anos 1990 na cobertura da Igreja, embora a sua presença mediática se tenha atenuado. Por sua vez, a referência às telenovelas revela-se na tessitura do discurso jornalístico, com uma hibridez entre os géneros melodrama e informativo.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
