The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy
No full textSequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes binding to host receptors in the placenta such as chondroitin sulphate A (CSA). Identification of the parasite ligand(s) responsible for placental adhesion could lead to the development of a vaccine to induce antibodies to prevent placental sequestration. Such a vaccine would reduce the maternal anaemia and infant deaths that are associated with malaria in pregnancy. Current research indicates that the parasite ligands mediating placental adhesion may be members of the P. falciparum variant surface antigen family PfEMP1, encoded by var genes. Two relatively well-conserved subfamilies of var genes have been implicated in placental adhesion, however, their role remains controversial. This review examines the evidence for and against the involvement of var genes in placental adhesion, and considers whether the most appropriate vaccine candidates have yet been identified

Ways of Life in Classical Political Philosophy; Papers of the 3rd Meeting of the Collegium politicum, Madrid
No full textThe present volume collects 13 papers presented on the occasion of the third meeting of the Collegium Politicum; these papers represent the different approaches that now coexist in the Aristotelian scholarship. An ample overview of the status quaestionis precedes the volume.
Three contributions introduce different aspects of the wider field in which Aristotle’s position arises: J.-M. Betrand considers the topic of drunkenness, related to the life of enjoyment and pleasure, in the rhetoric and philosophical writings of the fourth century B.C. J.-P. Pradeau concentrates on the same topic in Plato’s criticism of democracy. In the last contribution of this introductory part, M. Vegetti focuses on another sort of life in the practice of the Platonic Academy: the political life, which longs for might and power.
The seven papers of the central part are devoted to Aristotle’s thought. Luc Brisson compares Plato’s and Aristotle’s theory on contemplation. Francisco L. Lisi criticizes Rowe’s lecture of EN I 7 and the inclusive interpretation of the passage. Christopher Rowe replies to him, to S. Broadie and to R. Kraut about happiness and the best life in Aristotle’s writings on practical philosophy. Ada Neschke-Hentschke critiques P. Pellegrin’s (1990) interpretation of the structure of the Politics. Silvia Campese writes about the ‘economic’ bioi in the first Book of the Politics, while Silvia Gastaldi and Lucio Bertelli present a detailed discussion of Aristotle’s position about the best life in Pol. VII.
The last part of this volume is dedicated to the reception of the philosophical ideal of the best life. Guido Cappelli analyses the debate in the Italian Humanism of the fifteenth century, and Francesco Gregorio studies the reception of the motive of the three ways of human life in Leo Strauss and Hannah Arendt
Eudaimonia and the Economics of Happiness
No full textIn this paper I discuss the major approaches to happiness in the economics of happiness: hedonism and life-satisfaction approaches. It is possible to identify a tension between two important principles in this literature: 1) individuals are the best judges of their own happiness, and 2) the purpose of economics should be the direct endorsement of happiness. I argue that hedonism conflicts with the first principle. In the case of life-satisfaction theories, the restricted approach conflicts with both principles while the unrestricted approach only with the second. I also argue that the field presents difficulties establishing happiness as a consistent normative concept. In order to show this, I return to the theories of Aristotle and Seneca because: 1) both the ancients and these economists consider happiness as the overarching good; 2) even though these economists recognize the importance of eudaimonistic theories, their interpretation and use has not been satisfactory; 3) the debate between Aristotle and Seneca has implications both on the quantitative character of happiness and on the role of public policy regarding its promotion. The main lesson of the ancients is methodological: what made the discussion so rich among them was their awareness that happiness was principally a normative concept whose content had to adjust in order to meet its normative demands; a point contemporary literature seems to have missed.Happiness, hedonism, life-satisfaction approaches, Aristotle, Seneca, aim and scope of Economics.
