Full texts position in patriarchal society and patriarchal capitalism may transform their experiences with capital and the state into a relationship of accumulation by dispossession rather than having their labour alienated and exploited under typical expanded reproduction. States use the constructions of women as subordinate under patriarchy, as well as others about migrant labour, or about the &lsquo
aberrant&rsquo
nature of sex work, to justify the use of women&rsquo
s bodies in the sex trade in a way that promotes the primitive accumulation, or accumulation by dispossession of surplus value from their labour and bodies. This study will use the Turkish Republic of northern Cyprus as an example to highlight the arguments made about the ability of a patriarchal state in collusion with capital, to use the extra controls afforded by patriarchy to primitively accumulate wealth from women, and to reproduce that ability on a continuous scale.

Full textThe Minoan Civilization of the Bronze Age Crete was one of the few european civilizations that organized its society through a palatial system. The studies about the development of the Minoan States must analyse thoroughness the administrative palatial system and the changes that have occured on it during its six centuries of functioning. In this thesis we intend to analyse the complexity evolution of the Minoan polities through the analysis of its administrative configurations. The definition of administrative sites - through the function analysis of the architectural vestiges and of its archaeological discoveries - and the study of the hierarchic patterns among the sites, will be the main point of this research. The use of usefull methodologies for the analysis of early state formation and culture change, like systems theory and the concepts of peer polity interaction, will be the basis tools of this project. This research follows research developed in the mastership done in MAE/USP about the interaction between the early states of Crete and the Minoan ritual practices.

Full textDuring preimplantation, mouse embryo produces two cellular lineages, the trophectoderm (TE), and the inner cell mass (ICM), which differentiates in epiblast (Epi) and primitive endoderm (PrE), characterized respectively by the complementary expression of Nanog and Gata6. FGF/MAPK pathway plays a critical role in the acquisition of a PrE identity. I examined the expression of the markers of MAPK activity pERK, DUSP4 and ETV5. The analyze was performed with activation or inhibition of FGF/MAPK pathway and in mutant embryos for Nanog or Gata6. This showed that FGF/MAPK pathway is activated as soon as E3,25. I have also analyzed the IGF pathway in preimplantation embryos in order to understand the role of this pathway in embryonic lineages. I showed that active receptor pIGF1R is differentially expressed in TE, PrE and Epi during embryonic development. Supplementation with IGF1 induces an increase in cell number in two phases, first in Epi then in PrE. Conversely, loss of function of IGF1R induces a decrease in cell number between E3,75 and E4,25

Full textImportance: Most children with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) now reach adulthood. Assessment of their long-term health status represents a major challenge. We aimed to gain insight into how PID affects patient health status and quality of life (QoL). Design: The French Reference Center for PIDs (CEREDIH) initiated a prospective multicenter cohort which enrolled participants who met all inclusion criteria: (1) patient with PID included in the CEREDIH registry, (2) clinical diagnosis before 18 years, (3) alive and living in France. Among 1810 patients eligible for inclusion (on 1/17/2016), 1047 were children, and 763 were adults. A severity score was assigned to each health condition: grade 1 (mild) to grade 4 (life-threatening/disabling). We report the health status of children by focusing on two endpoints: grade 4 conditions and grade 3 or 4 conditions. Results: In the adult study, only 12% of adults with PID had never experienced severe or life-threatening conditions, and 7.6% of patients had been diagnosed with cancer. Furthermore, adults reported significantly lower scores for all domains of QoL, and QoL was strongly associated with poor health conditions. In the pediatric study, the response rate was 62.5%. Of the 656 children participants, 83% experienced at least one grade 3 or 4 condition. Children with PID scored significantly lower for most QoL domains. QoL was strongly associated with heavy burden of health conditions. Conclusions: Taken together, these studies demonstrate that the deleterious health effects bore by patients with PID become heavy since childhood, emphasizing the need to establish multidisciplinary healthcare teams, from childhood

Full textThe lack of a standardized lighting instrument to be used in conjunction with existing photographic methods to document rock art, is a problem experienced in archaeological circles. Through interviews with archaeologists and an investigation into existing photographic methods concerning the photographing of rock art, a demand for a portable and modular lighting instrument was confirmed. The aim of this study, then, was to develop a prototype lighting instrument to fill this void. The design and manufacture of the modular lighting instrument entailed the harnessing of the technological advances made in the field of rapid prototyping. A brief overview of the San/Bushmen of Southern Africa is given to stress the importance of this study and to emphasise the importance of the art of the Bushman in our collective art heritage. An overview of the documenting of rock art and therewith an investigation into documented works of rock art and rock engravings by the San/Bushmen serves as a point of departure for the present inquiry. Tests undertaken with the modular lighting instrument, and a comparison of the results so obtained with existing photographic methods, showed that with the use of the modular lighting instrument, an improvement in illumination, rock-face texture and colour contrast in the images was obtained. The modular lighting instrument helps to create and regulate a suitable lighting environment irrespective of natural lighting circumstances and environments. It produces better results when it comes to documenting rock art in comparison to existing methods of documentation. Continued study for the development of the modular lighting instrument is recommended in order to produce more constant results.

Full textAbundances of siderophile elements in the mantle indicate that the Earth’s core segregated in a deep magma ocean. Yet, it is unfortunately difficult to constrain the oxidation conditions prevailing during planetary accretion based on geochemical tracers due to the number of parameters playing a role in metalsilicate partitioning. In addition, the oxidation state of terrestrial planets can evolve during accretion. The nature of the accreted material during the formation of the terrestrial planets remains then still uncertain. Our strategy to improve our knowledge in this domain is to model the chemical equilibria taking place in the primitive Earth. The equilibria can evolve (i) as P-T conditions of core-mantle segregation increase with the size of the planet, (ii) due to crystallization of the magma ocean and (iii) with accretion of heterogeneous material of different composition and oxidation state. We explored the potential role of collisional erosion in the context of Earth’s accretion from Enstatite Chondrites. For this, we refined experimentally the chemical composition of pseudo-eutectic melts as a function of pressure up to 25 GPa. We show that the first melts are highly enriched in SiO2 (up to 75 wt% SiO2) and alkali elements (Na and K). Therefore, collisional erosion of proto-crusts on EH-planetesimals can efficiently increase their final Mg/Si ratio and decrease their alkali elements budget. It can help to reconcile compositional differences between bulk silicate Earth and Enstatite Chondrites. We performed new experiments on metal-silicate partitioning of sulphur. We show that the present-day sulphur concentration of the Earth’s mantle can be explained by core-mantle equilibration in a deep magma ocean. S-addition in a late veneer (Rose-Weston et al., 2009) cannot be excluded; however, it is not required in order to reach the S-mantel abundance. Our results are consistent with the non-chondritic S-isotopic nature of the mantle (Labidi et al., 2013). We modeled the core-mantle partitioning of the light elements (S, Si, O) at high pressures and temperatures, by taking into account of their mutual chemical interactions and that with C. With 2 wt% S in the core and a C concentration ranging 0 to 1.2 wt% (as evidenced with cosmochemical studies), we found the O solubility from 1 to 2.4 wt%. This O incorporation to the core is insufficient to both allow an Earth accretion from an oxidized meteoritic material and result in a planet composed of a core with a mass equivalent to the third of its mass and a mantle with 8 wt% FeO content. Reduced conditions during coremantle segregation are also required to enhance the Si content in the core, possibly up to 5 wt% Si, to explain the super chondritic Mg/Si of the bulk silicated Earth (Allègre et al., 1995; O’Neill et al. 1998). Altogether, we find that the Earth was most likely accreted from a reduced material, such as enstatite chondrites, leading to a core composed of 2 wt% S, 0 to 1.1 wt% C, 1 wt% O and 5.5 to 7 wt% Si. We investigated the role of Mg-perovskite (the most abundant mineral of the mantle) crystallization on the oxidation state of Earth’s mantle during cooling of the magma ocean. We show that its crystallization induces a decrease of FeO content of the solid mantle as Fe is incompatible in perovskite, when it is in equilibrium with a liquid Fe-alloy at an fO2 of IW-2. At these conditions, the Fe3+ insertion is also low and constant (Fe3+/ Fetot of 21 ±4 %). Hence, the Mg-Pv crystallization cannot be responsible for a substantial increase of the Earth’s mantle oxygen fugacity during core segregation. (...)

Structural correctness and resource allocation are two major topics of workflow researches, but few researchers are interested in artifact analysis. A workflow execution may fail because of incorrect structures or resource conflict. On the other hand, inaccurate artifact manipulation will bring some problems during workflow execution too, e.g., inconsistency between data flow and control flow, contradictions between artifact operations…, etc. The thesis studies a model, compatible with most models for specifications, and thus a simple methodology for validating the use of artifacts. In the model, we also present a bottom-up workflow design method based on artifact operations. The concept of state transitions for artifacts is adopted to construct six types of artifact inaccuracy impacting on workflow execution, and inaccuracy detection algorithms in order to validate artifact usages in workflow specifications.

Full textA pluripotência é definida como o potencial de gerar todas as linhagens celulares presentes no organismo adulto, com três estados distintos identificados. Recentemente descrito, o estado de pluripotência roseta é um estado reversível, intermédio entre os já estabelecidos estados naïve e primed, associados in vitro às células estaminais embrionárias (ESC) e células estaminais do epiblasto, respectivamente. In vivo, este estado intermédio associa-se às células do botão embrionário, na fase de peri-implantação do embrião, onde ocorre uma polarização e reorganização das células naïve numa roseta embrionária. As células estaminais roseta (RSC), já derivadas e sustentadas em culturas in vitro com recurso à inibição da sinalização Wingless-INT (Wnt) e proteína-quinase quinase ativada por mitógenos (MEK), têm o seu próprio perfil biológico. Uma das características especifícas das RSCs é a co-expressão do fator naive Klf4 e do fator primed Otx2. Apesar do estado de pluripotência roseta estar já a ser caracterizado, ainda pouco se sabe relativamente à sua biologia. Com este estudo, o nosso foco assentou em aprofundar o conhecimento deste novo estado de pluripotência, através da caracterização das RSCs. Para isto, selecionámos processos biológicos que ocorrem, in vivo, no embrião na fase de pré-implantação. Nestes processos, comparando com a resposta das ESCs de Mus musculus sujeitas aos mesmos protocolos, testámos a resposta das RSCs de forma a observar se haveria uma alteração no seu potencial de desenvolvimento. Um dos processos biológicos analisado foi a diferenciação de endoderme primitiva, uma das três linhagens celulares que se encontram no blastocisto de ratinho, tendo início no botão embrionário a E3.5. A capacidade das RSCs (e incapacidade das células estaminais do epiblasto) em derivar endoderme primitiva tinha já sido demonstrada em estudos prévios, através de diversos modelos in vitro. De modo a tornar a nossa abordagem mais robusta, utilizámos uma linha celular repórter Gata6::GFP, o primeiro marcador génico de endoderme primitiva a ser expresso. Adaptámos dois distintos e previamente publicados protocolos de diferenciação desta linhagem - a duas dimensões e através da formação de corpos embrióides - com recurso a fatores de indução. Os nossos resultados demonstraram que, quando submetidos ao processo de diferenciação, tanto as ESCs como as RSCs apresentam um aumento da expressão de marcadores génicos da endoderme primitiva. No entanto, o processo de diferenciação por formação de corpos embrióides revelou que no caso das RSCs, o marcador Gata6 é significativamente menos expresso. Este resultado sugere que a capacidade de diferenciação destas células em endoderme primitiva está comprometida, sendo significativamente menos eficiente. O outro processo abordado, a diapausa embrionária, refere-se a um estado de dormência celular reversível no período de pré-implantação, que consiste na suspensão do crescimento embrionário. Este processo foi descrito em diversas espécies animais, incluíndo Mus musculus, como uma estratégia para evitar condições desfavoráveis no momento do parto. In vitro, o processo descrito foi já mimetizado através da utilização de inibidores de Myc e mTOR. Estes permitem que as ESCs entrem num estado semelhante ao que ocorre in vivo, observando-se uma diminuição no splicing, na transcrição e síntese proteica. Simultaneamente, ocorre uma redução acentuada da proliferação e consequente dormência celular. Os nossos resultados, utilizando estes mesmos inibidores indutores de diapausa, revelaram uma diferença na resposta entre as ESCs e as RSCs. Foi observada uma supressão superior a nível da expansão celular nas RSCs, que aqui sugerimos dever-se a um aumento da morte celular destas quando induzidas em diapausa, mantendo, no entanto, o seu potencial pluripotente após recuperação deste processo. Com base nos resultados obtidos, sugerimos que as RSCs apresentam uma capacidade reduzida para entrar num estado de diapausa. A acrescentar aos processos biológicos já mencionados, focámo-nos também num outro ponto essencial no desenvolvimento embrionário. As alterações metabólicas ao longo da progressão da pluripotência foram já descritas como fundamentais para a transição celular. No estado naive, as células apresetam um metabolismo misto com respiração mitocondrial e atividade glicolítica, passando para um metabolismo exclusivamente glicolítico no estado primed. Como tal, considerando os perfis metabólicos associados a distintos estados de pluripotência, analisámos os níveis de fosforilação oxidativa das RSCs, comparando com as ESCs. Os nossos resultados demonstraram diferenças entre os dois tipos celulares, apresentando as RSCs uma taxa de consumo de oxigénio geral mais baixa, que se traduz em níveis mais baixos de respiração mitocondrial. Esta tendência é também observada em células primed e está associada a um estado de pluripotência mais avançado. Neste trabalho identificámos respostas distintas das RSCs, em comparação com as ESCs, ao nível de processos de desenvolvimento embrionário e ao nível do perfil metabólico destas células, reveladoras dos seus estados de pluripotência distintos. Com isto, pretendemos aprofundar a caracterização particular do estado de pluripotência roseta, de modo a acrescentar ao conhecimento presente referente ao contínuo da progressão da pluripotência.
Pluripotency is defined as the potential to form all cell lineages present in the adult organism, with three different stages identified., The rosette pluripotent stage is a novel reversible pluripotent state, intermediate between the naïve and primed stage. This stage is associated to developmental period of the peri-implantation epiblast - where the naïve cells polarize and rearrange in an embryonic rosette. Rosette stem cells, correspondent to this state in vitro, have their own individual biological profile, showing a characteristic co-expression of the naïve factor Klf4 and primed factor Otx2. Little is known about the biological status of the rosette stage. With this study we focused providing a deeper biological knowledge and characterization of rosette stem cells, concretely through the comparison with the naïve stage embryonic stem cells. For this purpose, we selected biological processes in which the behavior of the naïve cells has previously been described and tested the response of rosette stem cells, to observe if there is a change in developmental potential. Primitive endoderm differentiation is a process that starts developing in vivo in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, at E3.5. Our data revealed a significant difference when comparing both cell types. The adaptation of two in vitro differentiation protocols revealed that while both cell types show an increase in the expression of primitive endoderm markers, in the case of rosette stem cells, Gata6 is less expressed. This suggests that the differentiation of these cells into primitive endoderm is significantly less efficient. We then assessed the ability of the cells to enter diapause, a dormant reversible state of the pre-implantation epiblast. The results revealed a difference between both cell types in the response to diapause-inducing inhibitors. Rosette stem cells showed a bigger suppression in cell expansion that we here suggest being caused by increased cell death, while retaining their pluripotent potential after recovery. Furthermore, and considering the importance of the metabolic shift for pluripotency progression and the previously established distinct metabolic profiles for naïve and primed pluripotent cells, we analyzed the oxidative phosphorylation levels of rosette stem cells. We observed that, in comparison to embryonic stem cells, these cells possess an overall lower oxygen consumption rate that translates in lower levels of mitochondrial respiration. This trend is also observed in primed cells. Our work indicated differences in, not only the response to developmental processes, but also in the metabolic profile between embryonic and rosette stem cells. With this, we aim to specify the particular characteristics of the novel rosette pluripotent state, improving our knowledge on the continuum that is pluripotency progression.
