Condom use among married women in India
No full textRecent research on HIV/AIDS in India has not focused on married women, although married women have shown increasing rates of infection. This study examines how condom use among married women varies by regional and residential location, and further examines how the variation may be explained by a set of potential mediators. My theories used in this study are Urbanization, Information-Motivation-Behavioral Model, and Gender Theory to capture how society and location may not only provide women with the necessary education about HIV/AIDS prevention, but also motivate them to put that knowledge to use. Using the Demographic and Health Survey for India 2005-2006, I develop the beginnings of a mediating analysis to better understand how variables of education, gender roles, HIV/AIDS awareness, and health care access can vary by region, thus resulting in varying condom use throughout India. The sample includes 24,360 married women between the ages of 15-49. I develop four models which test the following: varying condom use by location, each individual mediator by location, each individual mediator by condom use, and finally varying condom use by location taking into account the mediators. My results show that education, intolerance for intimate partner violence, awareness of HIV/AIDS with methods to prevent transmission, and knowing a place to get tested for HIV all were significant mediators in helping to explain why condom use varies by both residential and regional location. I conclude with a discussion on how HIV/AIDS campaigns in India may be able to slow the progression of the disease by addressing challenges that married women may have when faced with the expectations of strict family-oriented roles versus the real risk of becoming HIV-positive

New Necklaces: 400 Designs in Contemporary Jewellery
No full textAfter the successful New Rings and New Earrings, New Necklaces is the third book curated by jeweller and author Nicolas Estrada, from classic forms and materials to the most daring, experimental and surprising ideas, each of the 500 necklaces included in this book has something that makes it unique and relates strongly to today's social, cultural and artistic reality. With prefaces by German jeweller Julia Wild and Leo Caballero, owner of the Barcelona gallery Klimt 02, specialised in contemporary jewellers
How Did I Get to Princess Margaret? (And How Did I Get Her to the World Wide Web?)
No full textThe paper explores the growing use of
tools from the arts and humanities for investigation
and dissemination of social science research.
Emerging spaces for knowledge transfer, such as
the World Wide Web, are explored as outlets for
"performative social science". Questions of ethnics
and questions of evaluation which emerge from
performative social science and the use of new
technologies are discussed. Contemporary thinking
in aesthetics is explored to answer questions
of evaluation. The use of the Internet for productions
is proposed as supporting the collective
elaboration of meaning supported by Relational
Aesthetics.
One solution to the ethical problem of performing
the narrations of others is the use of the writer's
own story as autoethnography. The author queries
autoethnography's tendency to tell "sad" stories and
proposes an amusing story, exemplified by "The
One about Princess Margaret" (see Appendix).
The conclusion is reached that the free and open
environment of the Internet sidelines the usual
tediousness of academic publishing and begins to
explore new answers to questions posed about
the evaluation and ethics of performative social
science
Identification of author profiles through social networks
No full textThe aim of this paper is to compile dictionaries of slang words, abbreviations, contractions, and emoticons to help the pre-processing of texts published in social networks. The use of these dictionaries is intended to improve the results of the tasks related to data obtained from these platforms. Therefore, a hypothesis was evaluated in the task of identifying author profiles (author profiling).Silva, JesúsMaria Santodomingo, Nicolas EliasRomero, LigiaJorge, MarisolHerrera, MaritzaPineda Lezama, Omar Bonerg

Sur les traces de Nicolas Bouvier, sur des cailloux atlantiques
No full textThe author of this travelogue follows in the footsteps of Nicolas Bouvier on the Aran Islands off the coast of Ireland. By surveying the almost deserted island of Inishmore in the middle of winter, he seeks to understand what fascinated the author of The Way of the World on these Atlantic stones twenty years earlier.L'auteur de ce récit de voyage suit les traces de Nicolas Bouvier sur les îles d'Aran au large de l'Irlande. En arpentant en plein hiver l'île quasi déserte d'Inishmore, il cherche à comprendre ce qui a fasciné vingt ans plus tôt l''auteur de L'Usage du monde sur ces cailloux atlantiques.Gauthier Lionel.

Analyse et modélisation couplée des processus hydro-géochimiques de la salinisation des sols. Application aux sols rizicoles irrigués de l'Office du Niger (Mali)
No full textCette étude a pour objectif l'analyse des mécanismes de salinisation, alcalinisation et sodisation des sols irrigués. A l'échelle du profil de sol, elle vise à identifier les phénomènes hydro-géochimiques et leurs interactions et à comprendre leur évolution dans le cas des sols rizicoles de l'Office du Niger (Mali). La démarche s'appuie sur des expérimentations en milieu contrôlé, des suivis de terrain et sur la modélisation numérique des processus. Un modèle numérique mécaniste intégrant les processus hydro-géochimiques selon des lois cinétiques a été développé en couplant un modèle déterministe de transfert d'eau et de solutés et un modèle géochimique intégrant les processus de précipitation/dissolution des minéraux et d'échanges cationiques. Les résultats obtenus à partir d'observations faites sur un monolithe de sol en infiltration montrent l'importance de considérer les couplages entre écoulement et processus géochimiques pour expliquer les évolutions chimiques observées dans la solution du sol. Dans ce sol structuré, les échanges cationiques ont, en particulier, un fort impact sur l'évolution de la concentration des éléments dans la solution du sol. Le modèle numérique a été calé à partir de ces expérimentations. Les résultats du calage montrent que les évolutions des concentrations simulées et observées sont voisines mais qu'il subsiste, dans le cas des solutés réactifs, des écarts entre les valeurs simulées et observées. Les processus d'échanges et de précipitation/dissolution de minéraux sont également mis en évidence dans des sols rizicoles irrigués. Les caractéristiques hydro-géochimiques de deux profils de sol ont été suivis pendant une année de culture. Pendant la période de submersion, on note une forte augmentation de l'alcalinité dans la solution du sol que les seuls processus de précipitation/dissolution de minéraux et d'échanges cationiques ne suffisent pas à expliquer. L'hypothèse de l'existence de processus d'oxydo-réduction influant sur la balance alcaline du sol est discutée. L'ensemble des processus géochimiques et des mécanismes de transfert est alors étudié au regard des pratiques d'irrigation de ces sols
