Arqueosemiótica: Entrevista al doctor Mannar Hammad. Charlas con Radio INAH
No full textPara presentar al doctor Manar Hammad, nos parece importante mencionar los títulos de tres de sus libros, títulos inquietantes que nos permiten imaginar el alcance de sus interesantes líneas de investigación: "La privatización del espacio", "La arquitectura del té", "Leer el espacio. Entender la arquitectura". La semiótica del espacio arquitectónico y arqueológico es el principal campo de interés del doctor Hammad, quien nació en Beirut, Líbano en 1944 y se formó como arquitecto en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de París y como Doctor de Semiótica en la Sorbona. Es fundador del Centro de Investigaciones Dar Hammad de Alepo, Siria, en el seno del Instituto Francés de Estudios Árabes de Damasco. Actualmente realiza trabajos para tres importantes ciudades antiguas: Alepo, La Meca y Palmira, en torno a las civilizaciones semíticas y sus espacios sagrados. Se encuentra ahora en México impartiendo un curso de una semana en la ENAH para participar en un recorrido de campo por Teotihuacan.Entrevistas con los especialistas del INAH</p
Correction: Hammad, a.; kaido, t.; aliyev v.; mandato c.; uemoto s. nutritional therapy in liver transplantation (Nutrients, (2017) 9, E1126)
No full textThe last paragraph on p. 13 and the first one 14: “After liver transplant, patients will have to take immunosuppressant medication to the end of their lives. Although modern drugs with less side effects are available, increased survival rates and decreased overall complications have led to many nutrition status implications associated with the use of cyclosporine, tacrolimus and corticosteroids. New onset diabetes or glucose impairment is common initially after the operation as the consequence of immunosuppressant regiment [105,106]. Diabetic dietary advice is usual required, and if necessary, the use of oral hypoglycemic or insulin regimens should be tethered according to the progression of diet. If hyperglycemia persists, it should be managed by reducing excess glucose intake, since higher insulin might hamper increased glucose oxidation in this period. Also, the diabetogenic potential of the immunosuppressant tacrolimus may be lowered by reducing its dose, without undue risk of rejection [109]. Many patients may concomitantly present with high potassium levels shortly after the operation. This usually results from the nephrotoxicity of the prescribed immunosuppressant medication. Thus, in the early post-transplant periods, it might be important to control potassium food sources as well via the recommendation of the use of dietary techniques that are able to reduce its content in nutrients [106]. In the long term, this is not indicated, as this condition mostly disappears. Hypomagnesemia also rises as a consequence of immunosuppression and, patients generally receive magnesium supplementation, however, some progress with diarrhea. The intake of magnesium rich food sources should be encouraged, such as dark cocoa, whole grains, nuts, legumes, fruits and green vegetables. Important to point that the consumption of this kind of food should not be restricted, even considering the immunocompromised host as a result of anti-graft rejection drugs. Patients should receive food safety advice to prevent foodborne infections, which can be achieved with the correct handling of fruits and vegetables [95]”. These two paragraphs are corrected to read: “After liver transplant, patients will need immunosuppressive medications for lifetime. Although new drugs with less side effects are available, increased survival rates and decreased overall complications have caused multiple nutritional implications linked to the use of cyclosporine, tacrolimus or corticosteroids [110]. New onset diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance is not uncommon short after the operation as the consequence of immunosuppressant treatment [105,106,110]. Diabetic dietary recommendation is usually needed, and if required, the use of oral hypoglycemic or insulin treatments should be tailored according to the advancement of diet. If hyperglycemia remains, it should be addressed by decreasing glucose intake, since higher insulin might prevent increased glucose oxidation during this period. Also, the possible diabetogenic effect of tacrolimus may be decreased by decreasing its dose, without added risk of rejection [109,110]. Many patients may concurrently have high potassium levels shortly after transplant [110]. This is usually due to the nephrotoxicity of the used immunosuppressive drug. So, it might be crucial to adjust potassium food sources during the early post-operative period, and use of dietary modifications which would decrease its content in nutritional intake [106,110]. This is not required long-term after transplant, as this transient imbalance often disappears. Hypomagnesemia also occurs due to immunosuppressants and, patients usually have magnesium supplements, however, some will have diarrhea. Magnesium-rich food intake should be carried on, such as dark cocoa, whole grains, nuts, legumes, fruits and green vegetables [110]. It is crucial to mention that consumption of such kind of food should not be restricted, even considering the immunocompromised host as a result of anti-graft rejection drugs. Patients should receive dietary safety recommendations to avoid food borne infections, with the correct handling of fruits and vegetables [95,110]. The first paragraph in Section 3.3 on p. 16: “In the long-term after liver transplantation, weight gain is mostly observed. It is important to recover the nutritional status, since the patients lose an average of 9.1 kg during the course of liver disease [117]. Greatest relative weight gain occurs in the first six months after the operation [47] and, recovery of all weight loss happens in the first post-transplant year [124]. However, unfortunately, patients do not stop gaining weight in the subsequent years [125], resulting in the alarming prevalence of overweight and obesity [47]. During the first 12 months, the fat mass progressively increases in those patients who had previously depleted overall body mass, but muscle mass recovery is subtle and nonsignificant by the end of the first year [126]. Therefore, despite the weight gain, the high prevalence of sarcopenia does not change after transplantation [7,47].” This paragraph has been changed to “Weight gain is generally seen long-term after liver transplantation [110]. It is a priority to recover the nutritional status, since the patients lose an average of 9.1 kg during the course of liver disease [110,119]. Largest relative weight gain occurs in the first 6 post-operative months [47,110] and, recovery of all weight loss happens within the first post-transplant year [110,125,126]. However, patients do not stop gaining weight in the subsequent years [110,127], resulting in overweight and obesity high prevalence [47]. During the first year, the fat mass progressively increases in those patients who had previously depleted overall body mass, but muscle mass recovery occurs at a relatively lower rate by the end of the first 12 months [128]. Hence, despite the ongoing weight gain, the high prevalence of sarcopenia does not decrease after LT [7,47,110].” The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers of Nutrients by these changes. The changes do not affect the scientific results. The original manuscript will be updated and will remain online on the article webpage, with a reference to this correction
Hablando con M´hammad Benaboud. Tetuán 2017
No full textEl grupo de investigación Aedificatio junto con la Asociación Tetuán Asmir, dirigida por el Dr. M´hammad Benaboud, trabajan en un proyecto sobre la Medina de Tetuán desde 2009. La ciudad de Tetúan es declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1997. El objetivo principal es la intervención de emergencia sobre algunas viviendas populares y otras de valor histórico en un alto grado de deterioro. A su vez se aspira a localizar y a recuperar las Mazmorras con el fín de conectarlo con la casa Ben marzuk donde se dispone uno de los accesos al conjunto. Se prevé la realización del proyecto de musealización de todo lo citado anteriormente para hacerlo accesible al público. “Hablando con M´hammad Benaboud” es una entrevista realizada como trabajo de campo de investigación en abril de 2017 en la Casa Ben Marzuk mientras se ejecutaba el proyecto de intervención de emergencia en el conjunto de la Casa y Mazmorras. Autores del presente proyecto: M´hammad Benaboud (Tetuán), Antonio Jiménez-Delgado, Iñaki Sáez Mentxakatorre, Ramón Orts Mas (Alicante), Bernardino Lindez Vilchez (Granada), Lorenzo Jurina, Carlo Manfredi (Milán).

CirFix: Automatically Repairing Defects in Hardware Design Code (Artifact)
No full textThis submission includes an artifact for CirFix, a framework for automatically repairing defects in hardware designs implemented in languages like Verilog. We also present a benchmark suite of 32 defect scenarios corresponding to a variety of hardware projects. Overall, CirFix produces plausible repairs for 21/32 and correct repairs for 16/32 of the defect scenarios. This repair rate is comparable to that of successful program repair approaches for software, indicating CirFix is effective at bringing over the benefits of automated program repair to the hardware domain for the first time.

"Prostitution in Cairo"
No full textSelling Sex in the City offers a worldwide analysis of prostitution that takes a long historical approach which covers a time period from 1600 to the 2000s. The overviews in this volume examine sex work in more than twenty notorious “sin cities” around the world, ranging from Sydney to Singapore and from Casablanca to Chicago. Situated within a comparative framework of local developments, the book takes up themes such as labour relations, coercion, agency, gender, and living and working conditions. Selling Sex in the City thus reveals how prostitution and societal reactions to the trade have been influenced by colonization, industrialization, urbanization, the rise of nation states, imperialism, and war, as well as by revolutions in politics, transport, and communication.

No full textA Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Salah Hammad, Faculty of Law, Addis Ababa University, AddisThesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa))--University of Pretoria, 2009.The author argues that maternal mortality can easily be avoided and that the right to health and life is as much a developmental issue as it is one of human rights. Focuses on the maternal mortality ratio and relevant laws protecting women’s right to life and health in Nigeria and Ethiopia.http://www.chr.up.ac.za/Centre for Human RightsLL
Breaking Dichotomies: Counter-Narratives in the Spoken Word Poetry of Suheir Hammad
No full textThis article analyzes the spoken word poetry of the Palestinian-American author, Suheir Hammad, who attempts to deconstruct dichotomies between Arabs and Americans and to create a concept of transnational humanness. Through cultural criticism, Hammad reverses the process of Othering when she humanizes Palestinians and detaches suffering from national belonging. Her creative resistance represents a renegotiation of Americaness and its relation to Islam and Arabs, and opens up de-nationalized spaces of comparison
