Endogenous incomplete markets, enforcement constraints, and intermediation
No full textAlvarez and Jermann (2000) show that the constrained efficient allocations of endowment economies with imperfect risk sharing due to limited commitment can be decentralized as competitive equilibria with endogenous debt constraints that are not too tight. These are the loosest possible borrowing limits that do not allow for default in equilibrium. However, such a decentralization is not possible in the presence of capital accumulation, since changes in the aggregate capital also affect the incentives to default. In a model with endogenous production, aggregate risk, and competitive intermediaries, we show that a decentralization with endogenous debt constraints is possible if one also imposes an upper limit on the intermediaries’ capital holdings.Complete markets, enforcement constraints, intermediation
Optimizing management of treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced HIV+ patients: the role of maraviroc
No full textEva Poveda, Vincent SorianoDepartment of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Carlos III, Madrid, SpainAbstract: Maraviroc is the first CCR5 antagonist approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. It specifically inhibits the replication of R5 viruses by blocking viral entry. HIV-1 tropism can be estimated accurately and predict viral response to maraviroc. Genotypic tools are increasingly replacing phenotypic assays in most places. The favorable pharmacokinetic properties and the good safety profile of maraviroc may support an earlier use of the drug in HIV-1 infection, as well as favor its consideration as part of switch strategies in patients under suppressive antiretroviral regimens containing less-well-tolerated drugs. Moreover, a particular immune benefit of maraviroc might encourage its use as part of intensification strategies in HIV-infected patients with impaired CD4 gains despite prolonged suppression of HIV replication with antiretroviral therapy. However, the long-term consequences of using maraviroc must be carefully checked, given its particular mechanism of action, blocking a physiologic cell receptor.Keywords: maraviroc, tropism, HIV, antiretroviral therapy, treatment strategie

No full textTITLE: Obesity of Older School Age Children Based on Physical Activity and Eating Habits AUTHOR: Bc. Eva Lamačová DEPARTMENT: Department of Education SUPERVISOR: PaedDr. Eva Marádová, CSc. ABSTRACT: This thesis deals with the obesity of older school age children and their dependence on eating and exercising habits. The theoretical part summarizes knowledge regarding overweight and obesity, disease diagnosis, epidemiological trends and complications related to obesity. Emphasis is put on the evaluation of reasons to why this problem occurs, such as disease prevention, dietary and exercise recommendations, its therapy and inclusion of the issue with the secondary school curriculum. The practical part contains research focused on the nutritional status, eating and exercise habits of pupils in secondary school. The survey results are designed for use in pedagogical practice. Usage is targeted for obesity prevention in this age group during Physical Education and Health Education subjects. KEYWORDS: Obesity, overweight, eating habits, exercising habit
Bilingual Education: English and the life projects of youth in contemporary Spain
No full textThis chapter explores the language biographies of secondary school students who attend CLIL-type programs in two regions of Spain, Catalonia and Castilla-La Mancha, in order to understand the role of English in their daily lives as well as the subjectivities that emerge in relation to their engagement with the English language. Data were collected in a multi-sited, critical sociolinguistic team ethnography and we center on group activities and group interviews with adolescents. Through an examination of students’ discourses, reported practices and life-projects connected to English we aim to give an account of the ways in which youngsters with differential access to material resources and different aspirations, navigate social relations and imagine future plans. Even though we collected complex language biographies and life projects, we will focus on two distinct discursive formations around English. Some students, who are not academically orientated, present English as a difficult school subject, which they sometimes struggle to master but still see as relevant for blue-collar and public service-oriented work projects. Middle-class and upper-middle class students describe their English language in more positive terms, seeing themselves as emergent bilinguals and connecting this identity to cosmopolitan and international professional life and work projects. Independently from their socioeconomic background and aspirations, the roles that youngsters give to English in their future lives epitomize processes of being socialized into late capitalism and neoliberalism

Eva Urban. 'Lessing’s Nathan the Wise: from the Enlightenment to the Berliner Ensemble.'
No full textLessing's Nathan the Wise (1779), exemplary for its enlightenment and humanist ideals, assembles Jews, Christians, and Muslims in dialogue during the medieval crusades in Jerusalem. Their encounters allow them to transcend conflict, to recognize their common humanity, and to resolve their differences through dialectical discourse and group arguments. In this article Eva Urban looks closely at the representation of enlightenment in this play and examines the potential role of plays and theatre practice in developing autonomous citizenship and intercultural understanding. Particular reference is made to the 2013 Berliner Ensemble production of Nathan the Wise in relation to aesthetic debates about modern political drama. Eva Urban is a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, and an Associate of Clare Hall, Cambridge. She is the author of Community Politics and the Peace Process in Contemporary Northern Irish Drama (Peter Lang, 2010) and has published a number of articles on political drama and Irish studies
