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

No full textThe research presented in this Thesis was carried out at the University of Sheffield under
the supervision of Dr I. C. Pyrah and Dr W. F. Anderson, and Mr G. Leach at British Gas
Engineering Research Station (ERS). The research was financially supported by a British
Gas Research Scholarship and by the Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme.
The Author would like to express his sincere gratitude to his supervisors for their invaluable
help, guidance and encouragement during the development of the research.
The Author is also grateful to Dr S. R. Mi for his interest and assistance throughout the
research. Special thanks also go to Dr S. J. Wheeler for his supervision during the first year
of the research and sound advice in the initial stage of the work.
The Author would like to express his gratitude to all members of the geotechnics group at
the University of Sheffield for the useful discussions and comments. Special thanks and
appreciation are extended to the staff at the ERS, particularly Mr E. Middleton for
providing the data of the field tests and constructive comments.
The laboratory tests were performed at ERS Soils Laboratory for which the Author is
thankful to the laboratory staff. The Author must also thank British Gas for providing the
computer hardware and software for performing the numerical analyses, and the printing
facilities to produce the Thesis. Thanks also go to Mr D. Reay and Mr B. Bellwood at the
Gas Research Centre of British Gas for ensuring continuous financial support throughout
the award period.
Finally, the Author wishes to thank his family and friends for their endless support and
encouragement throughout the period of study in the UK. Without them, this Thesis may
never have been completed
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.
Plasmodium falciparum:Rosettes do not protect merozoites from invasion-inhibitory antibodies
No full textRosetting is a parasite adhesion phenotype associated with severe malaria in African children. Why parasites form rosettes is unknown, although enhanced invasion or immune evasion have been suggested as possible functions. Previous work showed that rosetting does not enhance parasite invasion under standard in vitro conditions. We hypothesised that rosetting might promote invasion in the presence of host invasion-inhibitory antibodies, by allowing merozoites direct entry into the erythrocytes in the rosette and so minimising exposure to plasma antibodies. We therefore investigated whether rosetting influences invasion in the presence of invasion-inhibitory antibodies to MSP-1. We found no difference in invasion rates between isogenic rosetting and non-rosetting lines from two parasite strains, R29 and TM284, in the presence of MSP-1 antibodies (P = 0.62 and P = 0.63, Student's t test, TM284 and R29, respectively). These results do not support the hypothesis that rosettes protect merozoites from inhibitory antibodies during invasion. The biological function of rosetting remains unknown
Racine's Phaedra as poetic photojournalism
No full textFor the Comedie-Francaise’s 1995 production of Racine’s Phaedra, Director Anne Delbee chose world-famous French photographer Lucien Clergue to illustrate the accompanying theatre program with ten black-and-white photographs. Drawing from his background in newspaper and theatre photography, and with the full cooperation of the Comedie-Francaise, Lucien Clergue expanded the initial assignment into a high-quality hardcover book—Phaedra—which successfully blended Racine’s original text, Christian Lacroix’s original costume drawings, Director Anne Delbee’s commentary, and his own black-and-white and color photography. This article examines the nature of photojournalism and the photo essay, as well as the elements of poetic photographic vision, and discusses Lucien Clergue’s Phaedra as an expression of what the author calls “poeticphotojournalism”.Rowe, W.
