Rift Valley Fever : processes of emergeance and dissemination

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2013

Introduction: Dynamics of most of vector-borne diseases are strongly linked to global and local environmental changes. Landscape changes are indicators of human activities or natural processes that are likely to modify the ecology of the diseases. Here, a landscape approach developed at a local scale is proposed for extracting mosquito favourable biotopes, and for testing ecological parameters when identifying risk areas of Rift Valley fever (RVF) transmission. The study was carried out around Barkedji village, Ferlo region, Senegal.

Climate and environment are changing rapidly whilst global population already reached 7 billions people. New public health challenges are posed by new and re-emerging diseases. Innovation is a must i.e., 1) using high resolution remote sensing, 2) re-invent health politics and trans-disciplinary management. The above are part of the 'TransCube Approach' i.e., Transition, Translation, and Transformation. The new concept of Tele-epidemiology includes such approach. A conceptual approach (CA) associated with Rift Valley Fever (RVF) epidemics in Senegal is presented. Ponds are detected using high-resolution SPOT-5 satellite images and radar data from space. Data on rainfall events obtained from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (NASA/JAXA) are combined with in-situ data. Localization of vulnerable and parked hosts (obtained from QuickBird satellite) is also used. The dynamic spatio-temporal distribution and aggressiveness of RVF mosquitoes, are based on total rainfall amounts, ponds' dynamics and entomological observations. Detailed risks maps (hazards + vulnerability) in real-time are expressed in percentages of parks where animals are potentially at risks. This CA which simply relies upon rainfall distribution from space, is meant to contribute to the implementation of the RVF early warning system (RVFews). It is meant to be applied to other diseases and elsewhere. This is particularly true in new places where new vectors have been rapidly adapting (such as Aedes albopictus) whilst viruses (such as West Nile and Chikungunya,) circulate from constantly moving reservoirs and increasing population.

Essa dissertação foi planejada e construída para contar a história de Nimu Borum, uma criança encantada, que foi pintada de vermelho e enterrada na casca de árvore; da árvore conhecida como Pau Santo. Nimu foi exumada em 2004 no lugar conhecido como sítio arqueológico Lapa do Caboclo, uma gruta que se localiza na região de onde corre o Rio Uaimií 1-MG. Desde o momento em que a criança foi retirada da mãe-terra, ela passou a viver no Museu de História Natural e Jardim Botânico (MHNJB) da UFMG, e como ela estava na exposição 'Diversidades em Contextos Arqueológicos Indígenas de Minas Gerais ao longo dos últimos 14 mil anos', ela não queimou no incêndio que afetou a Reserva Técnica do MHNJB no ano de 2020 e que transformou as outras pessoas-ossos que viviam na Reserva Técnica em pó. O intuito das palavras desse mestrado foi de iniciar a descrição sobre a vida-morte de Nimu que é uma Nan Brukuku que traz a encantaria para a vida das pessoas que a conhecem. Ao percorrer o caminho para conhecer Nimu, essa dissertação também permitiu que eu aprendesse mais sobre meu caminho como uma indígena arqueóloga, por isso essa dissertação conta sobre o encontro dessas duas histórias, a minha e a de Nimu.

Revista Comunicación y Hombre · Número 8 · Año 2012 Flannery O'Connor y Guardini: la presencia del amor de Dios en el misterio del sufrimiento Flannery O'Connor and Guardini: the presence of the love of God in the mystery of suffering El presente artículo trata de mostrar el paralelismo entre el pensamiento de la escritora americana Flannery O'Connor y Romano Guardini ante el misterio del sufrimiento. En un mundo donde el do-lor está presente, los seres humanos pueden en momentos de desesperación y soledad profunda encontrarse con la presencia de Dios que ofrece la gracia al hombre que libremente quiera acogerla. PAlAbRAs ClAve: Sufrimiento, gracia, libertad, redención. This article aims to show the parallelism between American writer Flannery O'Connor and Romano Guardini line of thought regarding the mystery of suffering. In a world where suffering is unavoidable, men who do feel deeply alone and desperate, can find God's presence which offers its Grace to those who freely want to embrace it. susana Miró lópez 1. Acercamiento de Flannery a Guardini ante el misterio del sufrimiento En la producción narrativa de la escritora americana Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) se puede analizar la importancia de ciertos autores que fueron claves a la hora de ir confi-gurando su pensamiento. En este artículo, vamos a estudiar la influencia que pudo tener Romano Guardini en la escritora, en particular a la hora de interpretar cómo Cristo acom-paña al hombre en su sufrimiento. Importa recordar que nuestra autora, a los veinticinco años de edad enferma de lupus eritematoso-la misma enfermedad que había provocado la muerte de su padre nueve años antes-y que sus obras se caracterizan por una serie de personajes grotescos a los que Flannery enfrenta con el misterio del sufrimiento. En ese momento, los personajes deberán dar una respuesta ante lo que acontece, para ello contarán con la ayuda de la

Tunisia's transition away from authoritarianism has been shaped by a politics of consensus, which has brought together representatives of the former regime with their historic adversary, the Islamist movement al-Nahda. This article argues that consensus politics was a legacy of the authoritarian regime that was re-produced during a democratizing transition. The politics of consensus was encouraged and enabled by al-Nahda, which prioritized its inclusion within this elite settlement to provide political security for itself and the broader transition. However, this came at a cost, engineering a conservative transition, which did not pursue significant social or economic reform. The Tunisian case shows that historical legacies, such as consensus politics, can shape a transition as much as contingent, pragmatic decisions by political leaders.
