Factors associated with HIV serodiscordance among couples in Mozambique: Comparison of the 2009 INSIDA and 2015 IMASIDA surveys
No full textRecent studies suggest that a large proportion of new HIV-1 infections in mature epidemics occurs within discordant couples, making discordancy a major contributor to the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa. This paper aims at assessing changes over a five-year period (2009-2015) on the (risk) factors associated with HIV serodiscordance among couples in Mozambique, using cross-sectional data from the INSIDA and IMASIDA surveys. The pooled data of both surveys were analyzed using a joint model for three parameters characterizing in a particular way disagreement and sero(con/dis)corance between the HIV statuses of couples, as introduced by Aerts et al.: the probability that the female partner is HIV positive, given that both partners differ in their HIV status, the probability that only one partner is HIV positive, given that at least one of the two partners is positive ("positive" serodiscordance), and the probability that both partners are negative given that at most one of the two partners is positive ("negative" seroconcordance). The results reveal similar significant factors and estimates as in Aerts et al. (HIV prevalence, union number for woman, STI for man, condom use by woman and wealth index), but the additional significant factors "condom use by man" (no use had a negative effect on the positive serodiscordance) and "union number for man" (for couples where the man has been married or co-habiting with a woman before had a decreased negative seroconcordance) were identified. The only factor that had a different effect over time (IMASIDA as compared to INSIDA) was the effect of "HIV prevalence of province" on the negative seroconcordance. The negative effect of a higher HIV prevalence was less pronounced in 2015 for negative seroconcordance.This study was financially supported by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR-UOS) in collaboration with Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) through the DESAFIO Program, in Mozambique to AJCJ.Juga, AJC (corresponding author), Eduardo Mondlane Univ, Fac Sci, Dept Math & Informat, Maputo, Mozambique; Hasselt Univ, Data Sci Inst, I BioStat, Diepenbeek, Belgium.

Replication Data for: Dormivit et resurgit. A ‘language-ecology’ approach to the diachrony of the Latin ingressive perfect
No full textDataset includes annotated corpus data from Latin texts from the 3rd c. BCE until the 6th c. CE. Attestations of 'perfectum' stem forms of a selection of common stative verbs were extracted from major online corpora (about 14.000 data points); a random sample (n = 234) that represents all text types and time periods as evenly as possible was then subjected to a close-reading analysis in order to ascertain the attestation rate of 'ingressive' meaning with the target observations. Only the data points that were annotated in full are included in the current dataset. (2023-08-18
Possibilities of modified atmosphere packaging to prevent the occurrence of internal fruit rot in bell pepper fruit (Capsicum annuum) caused by Fusarium spp
No full textBell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), with its wide array of colors and flavors, plays an important role in many different cuisines around the world. Yet once harvested, it is a highly perishable fruit and needs appropriate post-harvest handling. Recently, post-harvest internal rotting (IFR) by Fusarium lactis species complex isolates (FLASC), became an additional challenge to maintain shelf-life and quality of bell pepper fruit. Therefore, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was explored as a possible technique to postpone symptom development of infected bell peppers. Four artificially infected bell pepper cultivars with different susceptibility towards IFR were stored under MAP conditions for a maximum of 14 d at challenging conditions of 20 degrees C resembling unrefrigerated shelf life conditions. Each week, 5 fruit of each object were analyzed for IFR symptom development and additional physicochemical and quality parameters. For all cultivars, MAP packaged fruit showed less severe fungal proliferation compared to controls after 14 d. As total titratable acid (TA), total soluble solids (TSS) and vitamin C concentrations in fruit remained rather stable throughout the experiment, fungal development was likely to be postponed directly due to reduced oxygen levels in the pouches rather than a decreased host susceptibility by influencing fruit metabolism. Since no significant differences of disease development were observed between sensitive and less sensitive cultivars for both colors, sensitivity for IFR seems not likely to be caused by different post-harvest disease development patterns but rather by differences in the initial susceptibility for flower infection under normal growth conditions. Based on our results, MAP can indeed be considered a useful tool to ameliorate IFR development during post-harvest storage of bell pepper under conventional temperatures of 7-16 degrees C
Sensitivity of discharge and flood frequency to twenty-first century and late Holocene changes in climate and land use (River Meuse, northwest Europe)
No full textWe used a calibrated coupled climate–hydrological model to simulate Meuse discharge over the late Holocene (4000–3000 BP and 1000–2000 AD). We then used this model to simulate discharge in the twenty-first century under SRES emission scenarios A2 and B1, with and without future land use change. Mean discharge and medium-sized high-flow (e.g. Q99) frequency are higher in 1000–2000 AD than in 4000–3000 BP; almost all of this increase can be attributed to the conversion of forest to agriculture. In the twentieth century, mean discharge and the frequency of medium-sized high-flow events are higher than in the nineteenth century; this increase can be attributed to increased (winter half-year) precipitation. Between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, anthropogenic climate change causes a further increase in discharge and medium-sized high-flow frequency; this increase is of a similar order of magnitude to the changes over the last 4,000 years. The magnitude of extreme flood events (return period 1,250-years) is higher in the twenty-first century than in any preceding period of the time-slices studied. In contrast to the long-term influence of deforestation on mean discharge, changes in forest cover have had little effect on these extreme floods, even on the millennial timescale
Replication Data for: Alea iacta est. Insights from corpus semantics into the diachrony of the Latin passive
No full textDataset includes annotated corpus data from Latin texts from the 3rd c. BCE until the 10th c. CE. Attestations of forms of both the original construction ('PP-BE.inf.', e.g. 'cantatus est') and the innovation ('PP-BE.perf.', e.g. 'cantatus fuit') for the expression of the passive (taken together with forms of deponent verbs into 'nonactive') of perfectum stem tenses were extracted from major online corpora (331.131 data points); a random sample (n = 383) of data points of PP-BE.inf. that represents all text types and time periods as evenly as possible was then subjected to a close-reading analysis in order to ascertain the attestation rate of meanings for which it competed with the innovation PP-BE.perf. (specialized in ANTERIORITY) and the present tense (specialized in present events or situations). Only the data points that were annotated in full in this second phase are included in the current dataset. For the data points examined in the first phase, only the formal categories in the list below were annotated to the extent that these annotations are not subject to interpretation. (2023-08-22
