Janis Jefferies : Out of the Feminine : Towards (as) Other Feminine

Comentário sobre “Sraffa e a Teoria do Valor do Trabalho: uma nota”: resposta a William Jefferies
No full textThis is a reply to the criticisms raised by William Jefferies (Jefferies, 2020) to my article “Sraffa and the Labour Theory of Value: a note” (Araujo, 2019). In Jefferies (2020) the author has given great emphasis to the question of physical commensurability between input and output in Sraffa’s price model.

Marcel Marois
No full textCommenting on Marois' textile work, Groleau perceives a compatibility between medium and motif, while Thomas-Penette discerns a silent space for the exorcism of fear (these two texts in French only). Jefferies analyses the artist's use of open narrative structures and his exploration of photography, tapestry, and drawing. Biographical notes. 89 bibl. ref

Continued control of pneumococcal disease in the UK - the impact of vaccination
No full textStreptococcus pneumoniae, also known as the pneumococcus, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed and developing world. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines were first introduced for routine use in the USA in 2000, although the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was not introduced into the UK's routine childhood immunization programme until September 2006. After its introduction, a marked decrease in the incidence of pneumococcal disease was observed, both in the vaccinated and unvaccinated UK populations. However, pneumococci are highly diverse and serotype prevalence is dynamic. Conversely, PCV7 targets only a limited number of capsular types, which appears to confer a limited lifespan to the observed beneficial effects. Shifts in serotype distribution have been detected for both non-invasive and invasive disease reported since PCV7 introduction, both in the UK and elsewhere. The pneumococcal Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV, Synflorix; GlaxoSmithKline) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13, Prevenar 13; Pfizer) have been newly licensed. The potential coverage of the 10- and 13-valent conjugate vaccines has also altered alongside serotype shifts. Nonetheless, the mechanism of how PCV7 has influenced serotype shift is not clear-cut as the epidemiology of serotype prevalence is complex. Other factors also influence prevalence and incidence of pneumococcal carriage and disease, such as pneumococcal diversity, levels of antibiotic use and the presence of risk groups. Continued surveillance and identification of factors influencing serotype distribution are essential to allow rational vaccine design, implementation and continued effective control of pneumococcal disease
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The impact of marital dissolution and repartnering on childbearing in Britain
No full textThe thesis starts by assessing the proportion of British births that occur after marital dissolution and the contribution of such births to non-marital fertility in Britain, information that cannot be obtained from vital registration data. In the early 1990s, around 13% of British births occurred following marital dissolution, with less than half of these occurring within remarriage; however, post-dissolution births did not make a large contribution to the big increases in the non-marital fertility ratio seen in Britain during the 1980s.Second, the thesis examines the lifetime fertility of continuously married women with those who have experienced marital dissolution and those who subsequently repartner, finding the latter two groups to be more diverse in terms of completed family size. Many theoretical issues are raised here, as the causal links between fertility and partnership behaviour are complex and multi-directional. Modelling both completed family size and age at last birth show that observed differences in fertility behaviour between the different groups are often a result of the characteristics of those selected into marital dissolution or repartnering, rather than being direct effects of marital dissolution or repartnering on fertility behaviour.The focus then shifts to childbearing following marital dissolution and it is estimated that around 45% of British women who experience marital dissolution will subsequently have a birth. A proportional hazard model shows that younger women, those who have a pre-school child, and those who form a new union with a bachelor are the most likely to experience a birth, while the association between parity and subsequent childbearing is small. Logistic models find similar factors to be associated with the current fertility intentions of repartnered women, although the majority of such women are not intending to have a birth. Compared to women in first marriages, repartnered women at parities zero and one are less likely to be intending to have a birth, while repartnered women with two or more children are more likely to be intending a birth than similar married women. This suggests that the decision-making context for repartnered women is different from that of women in first marriages and supports the earlier finding that women who experience marital dissolution are less likely to conform to the two-child norm than those whose marriage does not end in dissolution.</p
