Full textAbstract:
Le handicapé est-il une personne ? la question peut sembler scandaleuse mais elle s’impose lorsqu’on constate l’écart entre l’exposition médiatique et la traque dont il est l’objet. Paradigme du manque, le handicapé est aussi un monstre contemporain, nommé ainsi pour se différencier de lui. Avec Ulysse, nous commencerons de réfléchir au concept de personne dans sa relation au logos pour continuer avec Boèce, Kant pour constater, par l’actualité de l’eugénisme, par l’invention des concepts d’humain personne et d’humain non-personne, la persistance de notre doute quant au statut de personne du handicapé. Le soin comme outil de rencontre avec la personne et en particulier avec la personne porteuse de handicap nous aide à renouer avec une certaine sacralité du corps et donc à reconsidérer l’être de la personne soignée. L’étude du souci avec Heidegger, ensuite, montre le lien qu’il entretient avec l’Homme, avec la mort et avec le temps, dernier rempart au contrôle de l’Homme sur lui-même. Si le soin permet de rencontrer la personne, il reste une certaine fragilité ontologique du handicap qui le met en danger de façon permanente. Malgré cela, malgré cette fragilité persistante, est-il réellement possible de ne pas reconnaître la personne dans tout être humain porteur de handicap ?Is the disabled person a person ? the question may seem scandalous but it is essential when you notice the gap between the media exposure and the stalking of which it is the object. Paradigm of lack, the handicapped person is also a contemporary monster, so named to differentiate himself from him. With Ulysses, we will begin to think about the concept of person in its relation to logos to continue with Boethius, Kant to note, by the actuality of eugenics, by the invention of the concepts of human person and human non-human. nobody, the persistence of our doubt as to the person's status of the disabled. Care as a tool of encounter with the person and in particular with the person with a disability helps us to reconnect with a certain sacrality of the body and therefore to reconsider the being of the person being cared for. The study of concern with Heidegger, then, shows the link he has with man, with death and with time, the last bastion to the control of man over himself. If the care makes it possible to meet the person, there remains a certain ontological fragility of the handicap which puts him in permanent danger. Despite this persistent fragility, is it really possible not to recognize the person in every human being with a disability ?

Full textAbstract:
Seven strains of Actinobacillus suis (ATCC 15557, B49, C84, H89-1173, H91-0380, SO4 and VSB 3714) were investigated with respect to iron acquisition from animal transferrins (Tfs) and haemoglobins (Hbs). Growth assays with porcine, bovine and human Tfs and Hbs revealed that all seven strains could use porcine (but not human or bovine) Tf and all three Hbs as iron sources. In solid phase binding assays, membranes derived from all strains exhibited strong binding of porcine Tf and each of the Hbs. Competition binding assays indicated that all three Hbs were bound by the same receptor(s). Affinity procedures allowed the isolation and identification of iron repressible Tf-binding (~100 kDa and ~63 kDa) and Hb-binding (~105 kDa) polypeptides from all strains. Nucleotide sequence analyses revealed that A. suis strains SO4 and C84 possess genes that encode homologues of the Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Tf-binding proteins, TbpA and TbpB, and Hb-binding protein, HgbA. In both strains, tbpB was located immediately upstream of tbpA and was shown to be preceded by tonB, exbB and exbD homologues; hgbA was shown to be preceded by a hugZ homologue. Putative promoter and Fur box sequences were located upstream of tonB and hugZ and RT-PCR revealed that the genes in each of these clusters (tonB-exbB-exbD-tbpB-tbpA; hugZ-hgbA) are co-transcribed and iron-repressible. The molecular masses of the predicted mature TbpA, TbpB and HgbA proteins were calculated to be 104.3, 63.4 and 105.0 kDa, respectively, suggesting that the affinity-isolated, ~100 kDa and ~63 kDa Tf-binding polypeptides represent TbpA and TbpB, respectively, and that the ~105 kDa Hb-binding polypeptide represents HgbA. TbpB of A. suis was expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant TbpB (rTbpB) was identified by immunoblotting using swine sera raised against recombinant TbpB (A. pleuropneumoniae). It is envisaged that the acquisition of Tf- and Hb-bound iron by A. suis involves mechan

Les progrès technologiques dans l'industrie de la viande ont des répercussions considérables sur les agents pathogènes de ces environnements. Parmi ceux-ci, Streptococcus suis occupe une place prédominante dans l’industrie porcine. En effet, S. suis, colonisateur naturel des voies respiratoires et digestives du porc, peut infecter son hôte en provoquant des méningites, septicémies, endocardites, arthrites ou pneumonies. De surcroît, S. suis peut également infecter l’humain en provoquant majoritairement des méningites et septicémies, et a notamment été la cause de deux épidémies en Chine en 1998 et 2005.

Technological progress in the meat industry has a substantial impact on pathogens within these environments. Among these pathogens, Streptococcus suis is of utmost importance in the swine industry. S. suis, natural colonizer of the respiratory and digestive tracts of porks, can infect its host causing mainly meningitis and septicemia as well as endocarditis, arthritis and pneumonia. Furthermore, S. suis can infect humans causing mainly meningitis and septicemia, and was the cause of two major outbreaks in China in 1998 and 2005. The pathogenesis of S. suis infections remains partially understood, making the control of infections challenging. Consequently, it is of utmost importance to characterize virulence factors that could represent targets of interest for preventive or therapeutic applications. This project focused on the functional charaterization of virulence factors produced by S. suis. First, the ability of S. suis to modulate its pro-inflammatory potential in the presence of sub-inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin was demonstrated. Then, a further characterization of S. suis hyaluronate lyase brought evidence that this activity does not contribute to the bacterium's virulence since it is absent in most virulent strains. However, interactions with hyaluronic acid could modulate S. suis virulence. The functional study of S. suis DNase showed its implication as a virulence factor and suggested its interest in vaccine development. Finally, the last objective of this project lead to the discovery of the production of highly immunogenic microvesicles by S. suis. The presence of major virulence factors associated with these structures also represents an exciting fact for the development of vaccines against S. suis. This project allowed to expand the knowledge on the noxious potential of the use of low concentrations of antibiotics in the swine industry, on the role of hyaluronate lyase and DNase activities in S. suis virulence as well as on the production of microvesicles by S. suis that represents a new virulence mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
The burden of Streptococcus suis infection in humans is increasing worldwide. In Thailand, S. suis is the second most commonly recorded zoonosis. The principal sources of human S. suis infection are pig and pork products. A detailed understanding of the epidemiological characteristics of S. suis and the burden of the disease may help improve prevention and control policy to reduce the burden of this bacterial infection. The work presented in this thesis focuses on human outbreaks of S. suis in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in humans and backyard pigs. This thesis examined the characteristics of previous outbreaks of S. suis in humans and calculated the incidence, disease burden and the associated economic burden of S. suis infection in Chiang Mai. The backyard pig system is important for S. suis transmission and this thesis examined the characteristics of the backyard pig production system in Chaing Mai and examined the prevalence and risk factor for S. suis infection in pigs. Finally, to examine transmission of S. suis, isolates collected during this study were identified and subject to molecular characterization. A retrospective analysis of surveillance data for S. suis cases in Chiang Mai between 2005 to 2014 highlighted the annual incidence rate over this ten year period of 15.52 per 1,000,000 population, 6.5 times higher than for the rest of Thailand (2.37 per 1,000,000 population). The case fatality rate was high at 10.12%. The impact on human health of S. suis infection was derived from surveillance data for the year 2013. The health burden measured in term of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) was estimated at 7.41 per 100,000 population. Most of the health burden (98.28%) was in adults aged 15-64 years. Males had 3.5 times the health burden of females. The consequences of hearing loss and deafness had significant impacts on affected individuals quality of life. The economic impact of S. suis outbreaks in Chiang Mai was between 2013 and 2014 was estimated from interview data. Most patients were covered for their health costs by the national health security scheme, with expenditure due to S. suis on average being 37,955 baht (£759) per patient. Out of pocket expenses for individuals and their families averaged 5,198 baht (£104) per patient. An epidemiological survey of backyard pig production facilities was undertaken in Chiang Mai province where there was a reported high incidence of S. suis cases in humans occurred each year. Most holdings had between one to five pigs and all holdings shared similar characteristics and management practices. The prevalence of S. suis was in pigs was 4.8% (95%CI=2.2-7.4%). Pigs living in larger spaces (≥ 1.2 m2) showed a lower risk for S. suis infection (OR = 4.35, 95% CI = 1.07-25.21). Examination of the isolates from this study revealed a diversity of serotypes. Only one isolate was identified as S. suis serotype 9. The rest did not match any common serotypes for S. suis (1, 2, 7 or 9) and known virulent strains were not identified. Twelve independent sequence profiles were determined by MLST, of which, 11 were novel. Backyard pigs were found to be commonly infected with a range of previously unidentified S. suis and may be a significant reservoir of human infection.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus suis est un agent pathogène porcin causant des pneumonies, des septicémies et des méningites. Il est aussi un agent de zoonose responsable de plusieurs éclosions en Asie. Les souches de S. suis sont classifiées en 35 sérotypes basés sur la composition de leur capsule polysaccharidique. S. suis sérotype 2 cause la majorité des infections sévères et est sous-divisé en séquence types (ST). Le ST1 est associé avec des souches hautement virulentes. En Amérique du Nord, les souches communément isolées appartiennent aux ST25 et ST28, respectivement modérément et faiblement virulentes dans un modèle animal. La présence de S. suis sous forme de bioaérosols dans l’air des bâtiments porcins a été démontré. Le but de ce projet est d’étudier l’aérosolisation préférentielle de différentes souches de S. suis en utilisant une chambre expérimentale et un nébuliseur développés pour ce projet. Bien qu’un nombre supérieur de souches doivent être étudiées, les résultats du projet suggèrent que les souches hautement virulentes du sérotype 2 de ST1 semblent être préférentiellement aérosolisées et que l’aérosolisation préférentielle de S. suis semble être un processus souche dépendant. Cette étude est une preuve de concept et améliore nos connaissances sur la potentielle transmission de S. suis via les bioaérosols.Streptococcus suis is a swine pathogen that causes pneumonia, septicaemia and meningitis. It is also a zoonotic agent responsible for outbreaks in Asia. S. suis strains are classified into 35 serotypes based on the composition of their polysaccharide capsule. S. suis serotype 2 causes the majority of severe infections and it is subdivided into sequence types (STs). The ST1 is associated with highly virulent strains. In North America, the strains most commonly isolated belong to ST25 and ST28, which are respectively moderately and weakly virulent in animal model. The presence of S. suis bioaerosols in the air of swine confinement buildings has been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to better understand the aerosolization behaviour of S. suis by investigating preferential aerosolization of different S. suis strains using in-house developed environmental chamber and nebulizer. Although more strains should be studied, the results suggest that the highly virulent serotype 2 ST1 strains seem to be preferentially aerosolized and that the S. suis preferential aerosolization is a strain-dependant process. This study is a proof of concept and increases our knowledge on the potential aerosol transmission of S. suis.

Après avoir analysé l'ensemble des relations familiales, l'auteur conclut en interrogeant l'imaginaire antillais pour y déceler la force et l'ancrage des représentations de la matrifocalité, du métissage et de la place des acteurs sexués et racialisés dans la scène fondatrice mythique. Cela lui permet de montrer que la matrifocalité est bien une organisation qui fait système.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une étude anthropologique a vocation pluridisciplinaire des relations familiales et des rapports de sexes en Guadeloupe. Les familles antillaises etudiées sont caractérisées par leur matrifocalité, c'est-a-dire par la place centrale des relations a la mère dans l'organisation de la vie conjugale et familiale, dont les hommes en tant que pères sont souvent absents, si ce n'est exclus. Le but de l'analyse est donc d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi les hommes n'investissent que si peu les tâches et fonctions paternelles. L'analyse est fondée sur une ethnographie réalisée dans la Basse-Terre, en milieu rural populaire. Les conditions de réalisation de cette ethnographie et son originalité (due au sexe et à la position "métisse" de l'ethnologue et à l'importance accordée par elle à l'analyse des rapports intersubjectifs) sont analysées dans la première partie. L'analyse porte ensuite, dans la seconde partie, sur la construction sociale des notions de maternité et de paternité àtravers l'étude détaillée des relations parents-enfants, puis a travers l'étude de leur transmission et leur reproduction dans l'éducation des filles et des fils. Les premières apprennent à occuper un rôle essentiellement domestique et maternel par une éducation qui vise à les tenir à distance de la sexualité, dans un souci de respectabilité qui voudrait exclure toute maternité célibataire. De leur côté, les garçons apprennent à prouver publiquement leur réputation, en affichant des conduites sexuelles conquérantes. Dans les deux cas, l'éducation est marquée par la difficulté àremettre en question l'éducateur - la mère - qui s'impose comme une "mère courage", en entretenant envers ses enfants une relation de dette affective et symbolique importante, qui contribue avant tout à asseoir sa toute-puissance et a discréditer les pères. Les rôles et places attribués aux individus selon leur sexe sont transmis non seulement par la mère mais aussi par tout un entourage familial d'une part , et communautaire d'autre part. Cet environnement où règne le regard des pairs contribue à la régulation sociale du système matrifocal, système cohérent et stable tant que ses conditions de régulation sont maintenues.

Full textAbstract:
To allow faster and more reliable wireless communication a technique is to use multiple antennas in the transmitter and receiver. This technique is called MIMO. The usage of MIMO adds complexity to the receiver that must determine what the transmitter actually sent. This thesis focuses on hardware implementation suitable for an FPGA of a detection algorithm called SUMIS. A background to detection and SUMIS in particular is given as a theoretical aid for a better understanding of how an algorithm like this can be implemented. An introduction to hardware and digital design is also presented. A subset of the operations in the SUMIS algorithm such as matrix inversion and sum of logarithmic values are analyzed and suitable hardware architectures are presented. These operations are implemented in RTL hardware using VHDL targeted for an FPGA, Virtex-6 from Xilinx. The accuracy of the implemented operations is investigated showing promising results alongside of a presentation of the necessary resource usage. Finally other approaches to hardware implementation of detection algorithms are discussed and more suitable approaches for a future implementation of SUMIS are commented on. The key aspects are flexibility through software reprogrammability and area efficiency by designing a custom processor architecture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the use of a genomic approach to identify novel molecular markers to differentiate Streptococcus suis (S. suis) isolates into two populations, i) disease-associated and ii) non-disease associated. S. suis is a Gram-positive coccus that is considered one of the most important zoonotic bacterial pathogens of swine responsible for significant economic losses to swine production worldwide. Importantly, S. suis is not only an invasive pathogen but also a very successful coloniser of mucosal surfaces; often endemic in swine populations sampled. The widescale use of antibiotics to control and prevent the various clinical manifestations caused by S.suis has become unsustainable, due to increases in antibiotic resistance and government pressures. Other popular control strategies, such as the development of efficacious vaccines, are hindered by differences in virulence not only between but also within S. suis serotypes, as well as, the lack of a detailed understanding of the role in pathogenesis of many proposed virulence-factors. As a result, the detection of S. suis in asymptomatic swine herds is of little practical value in predicting the likelihood of future clinical relevance. This thesis aims to further understanding of the role the S. suis genome has in pathogenesis. The value of future surveillance and preventative health management lies in the detection of strains that genetically have increased potential to cause disease in presently healthy animals. The first results chapter of this thesis (chapter 3) describes the use of genome-wide associations studies, a so-far unexploited method for S. suis, to identify genetic markers associated with the observed clinical phenotype i) invasive disease or ii) asymptomatic carriage on the palatine tonsils of swine. Chapter 4 then describes the analyses used to select three genetic markers to pathotype S. suis - differentiate isolates of the same species based on their ability to cause disease; going on to describe the design and evaluation of a multiplex-PCR tool targeting the three newly defined "pathotyping markers" in comparison to existing methods used to characterise S. suis. These findings were taken further by using the pathotyping markers to screen material scrapped from the palatine tonsils of swine with no obvious signs of streptococcal disease. This produced an interesting result - the production of both invasive disease-associated and non- disease associated multiplex-PCR amplicons from the same experimental sample. Unsurprising in itself, what was surprising is the frequency with which this observation was found. Picking single colonies from solid agar plates is a crippling bottleneck of existing S. suis diagnostics, and its removal has the potential to improve the sensitivity of surveillance and preventive health management programs. Chapter 5 describes investigation of this surprising observation and indicates that classic culture-based methods of detection are not sensitive enough to confidently report the presence (or absence) of invasive disease-associated S. suis strains. This thesis concludes with the description of efforts to address the lack of a comprehensive understanding of S. suis virulence/'virulence-associated' factors. Chapter 6 describes the design of an isogenic mutant knocking out the invasive disease-associated pathotyping marker, SSU1589 (also known as virA). That is then evaluated in simple in vitro and in vivo experimental models in order to understand the role Type I restriction modification proteins have in S. suis pathogenesis. In conclusion, this thesis furthers our understanding that differences in the S. suis genome are an important factor in S. suis pathogenesis, and describes the identification and evaluation of novel genetic markers for the detection and control of invasive disease-associated S. suis strains in intensive pig production systems.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus (S.) suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs causing meningitis, arthritis, endocarditis and serositis. Furthermore, it is also an emerging zoonotic agent. In our previous work we identified a highly specific IgM protease in S. suis, designated IdeSsuis. The objective of this study was to characterize the function of IdeSsuis in the host-pathogen interaction. Edman-sequencing revealed that IdeSsuis cleaves the heavy chain of the IgM molecule between constant domain 2 and 3. As the C1q binding motif is located in the C3 domain, we hypothesized that IdeSsuis is involved in complement evasion. Complement-mediated hemolysis induced by porcine hyperimmune sera containing erythrocyte-specific IgM was abrogated by treatment of these sera with recombinant IdeSsuis. Furthermore,
expression of IdeSsuis reduced IgM-triggered complement deposition on the bacterial surface. An infection experiment of prime-vaccinated growing piglets suggested attenuation in the virulence of the mutant 10ΔideSsuis. Bactericidal assays confirmed a positive effect of IdeSsuis expression on bacterial survival in porcine blood in the presence of high
titers of specific IgM. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that IdeSsuis is a novel complement evasion factor, which is important for bacterial survival in porcine blood during the early adaptive (IgM-dominated) immune response.

Full textAbstract:
Bacterias patógenas como Salmonella, habitantes naturales del tracto intestinal de diversos animales incluido el hombre, están comúnmente presentes en efluentes de desagües principalmente domésticos que desembocan al mar en forma directa o indirecta a través de ríos y acequias, llegando a constituir parte de la flora contaminante del litoral limeño y de los alimentos provenientes del mismo. La presencia de Salmonella está determinada por las condiciones biológicas y fisicoquímicas del ambiente acuático, que permiten su supervivencia, desarrollando mecanismos de adaptación como entrar a un estado de “viable no cultivable”, cambios metabólicos o alteraciones genómicas en respuesta a condiciones ambientales adversas. Debido a la importancia que tiene Salmonella en la incidencia de enfermedades gastrointestinales, se hace necesaria su vigilancia en el medio ambiente acuático para lo cual es preciso desarrollar estudios que faciliten el aislamiento, identificación y diferenciación de estirpes patogénicas en ambientes naturales.
Muestras de agua de mar tomadas a lo largo del litoral limeño, durante los meses de marzo, abril y mayo del 2000, fueron procesadas para el aislamiento de Salmonella usando el método de filtración en membrana, pre-enriquecimiento en Agua Bufferada Peptonada; enriquecimiento selectivo en caldo Tetrationato, Selenito Cistina y Rappaport-Vassiliadis y posterior aislamiento selectivo en Agar XLD, Sufito de Bismuto, BPLS, SS, Hektoen y XLD. La identificación bioquímica se realizó mediante las pruebas de Oxidasa, Catalasa, Indol, Urea, TSI, LIA, Citrato y RM-VP. Para la identificación serológica se utilizaron sueros polivalentes agrupadores (A, B, C1, C2, D, E1 y E4), suero capsular Vi y flagelares de Salmonella choleraesuis.
Se seleccionaron 203 estirpes oxidasa negativos, catalasa positivos, de las que 18 fueron identificadas como Salmonella choleraesuis, de las cuales 10 cepas fueron del serogrupo C1 y serotipo Salmonella Djugu y 8 del serogrupo D y serotipo Salmonella Enteritidis, una con bioquímica típica y 2 cepas atípicas incluidas en el serogrupo B de Salmonella choleraesuis, 3 cepas rugosas y 24 cepas con bioquímica típica que no aglutinaron con el suero polivalente empleado.
Los perfiles de proteínas totales obtenidos mediante PAGE-SDS señalan diferencias de las cepas entre e intra serovar luego del análisis estadístico.
El ADN cromosómico de los serotipos identificados fueron cortados con endonucleasas de restricción e hibridados con una sonda específica para el gen rDNA16S marcada por quimioluminiscencia. Se encontraron 4 ribotipos (RB, RC1, RC2 y RD), que correspondieron a cada serovar de Salmonella choleraesuis.--- Pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, natural inhabitants of the intestinal tract of diverse animals included the man, they are commonly present in effluents of mainly domestic drainages that discharge into the sea in direct form or through rivers and canals, ending up constituting part of the contaminate flora of the Lima´s coast and of the foods coming from the same one. Their presence is determined by the biological and physico chemical conditions of the aquatic environment that allow its survival, developing mechanisms of adaptation like to enter to state of “viable but no culturable”, metabolic and genomic changes in answer to adverse environmental conditions. Due to the importance that Salmonella has in the incidence of gastrointestinal illnesses, it becomes necessary their surveillance in the aquatic environment for that which is necessary to develop studies that facilitate the isolation, identification and differentiation of parthogenic strains in natural ecosystems. Seawater samples were taked along the Lima´s coast, during the months of march, april and may of 2000. For the isolation the membrane filtration method was used, pre-enrichment in Buffered Peptoned Water; selective enrichment in Tetrathionate, Selenite Cystine and Rappaport-Vassiliadis broths and selective isolation in XLD, Bismuth Sulfite, BPLS, SS, Hektoen, XLD agars. In the biochemical identification Oxidasa, Catalasa, Indole tests were used and it was cultivated in Urea, TSI, LIA, Citrato, RM-VP media. For the serologic identification grouping polyvalents (A, B, C1, C2, D, E1 and E4) and flagellars sera of Salmonella choleraesuis were used. 203 strains negative oxidase and positive catalase were selected, of which 18 were identified as Salmonella choleraesuis, inside those that 10 strains belonged to C1 serogroup and Salmonella Djugu serotype, and 8 to D serogroup and Salmonella Enteritidis serotype, one with typical biochemistry and 2 atypical strains typing inside the B serogroup of Salmonella choleraesuis, 3 rough strains and 24 with typical biochemistry that they didn't agglutinate with the polyvalent serum used. The profiles of total proteins obtained by means of SDS-PAGE point out differences of the strains inter and intra serovar after statistical analyses. The chromosomal DNA of the identified serotypes was cut with restriction endonucleases and hibridized with a specific probe for the gene rDNA16S marked by chemioluminiscens. They were 4 ribotypes (RB, RC1, RC2 y RD), that corresponded to each serovar of Salmonella choleraesuis.

Full textAbstract:
La capacité de Brucella suis, un microorganisme strictement aérobique, a s'adapter aux taux d'oxygène faible est un processus essentiel pour la virulence et la persistance bactérienne. Le manque d'oxygène est une condition hostile à laquelle les bactéries sont confrontées lors de la pénétration de l'hôte et pour établir leur niche replicative et la phase de persistance. Cette bactérie possède plusieurs mécanismes par laquelle elle s'adapte à cette condition. Elle peut utiliser un régulateur transcriptionel de la famille de FnrN dépendant de l'oxygène, deux cytochromes oxydases de haute affinité pour l'oxygène et une voie complète de denitrification pour résister au manque d'oxygène. Ce travail a démontré que la respiration oxydative et la denitrification peuvent être simultanément utilisés par B. suis sous microaerobiosis. RegBA, un système à deux composants chez B. suis, a été aussi identifié nécessaire dans l'adaptation bactérienne au manque d'oxygène. Ce dernier a été démontré à coordonner le contrôle des systèmes respiratoires précédemment évoqués. Un schéma de régulation global chez B. suis des voies respiratoires par le régulateur transcriptionel RegA a été suggéré : lors de la variation de l'état redox, la cytochrome bd oxidase jouerait un rôle dans la transmission d'un signal à RegB le senseur de la histidine kinase. De plus, RegA a été identifié essentiel pour la persistance de B. suis in vivo chez la souris dans les organes avec des teneurs faible en oxygène. RegA est supposé être impliqué dans l'installation de la phase de persistance bactérienne durant l'infection chronique. Cette étude a aussi identifié le rôle potentiel de RegA dans la régulation de nombreux gènes impliqués durant la phase de persistance. En utilisant une analyse transcriptomique, comparant les taux d'hybridation chez les souches sauvage et muté dans un modèle in vitro qui imite les conditions d'une infection chronique correspondant a un manque de nutriment et d'oxygène, 447 gènes avec un taux d'hybridation ≥ 2, ont été détectés réguler par RegA. Chez la souche sauvage, 45% et 55 % des gènes étaient régulés et réprimés par RegA chez la souche sauvage, respectivement. 14% des résultats du transcriptome a été choisi pour la validation génétique par RT-qPCR. RegA induit l'expression de gènes impliqués dans le métabolisme d'énergie y compris des gènes de la respiration oxidative, ce qui confirme qu'il interagit dans l'adaptation bactérienne au manque d'oxygène. RegA réprime des gènes impliqués dans la réplication d'ADN, la biogenèse de l'enveloppe et la division cellulaire, de même certains gènes dans le métabolisme d'énergie, ce qui suggère son effet sur la multiplication et l'adaptation bactérienne à l'hypoxie qui existe durant la phase de persistance. RegA a été démontré a réprimer les facteurs de virulence l'operon virB ainsi que son régulateur VjbR. De plus, cette étude a évalué le rôle de deux gènes BR1614 et BR1510 régulés par RegA et impliqués dans le métabolisme des acides gras. Dans les expériences in vivo chez la souris ont démontré que les deux gènes sont essentiels pour la survie, la multiplication et la persistance bactérienne. En conclusion, RegA régule, directement et indirectement, l'expression de gènes qui codent pour la traduction, la transcription, la production d'énergie et la conversion, la réparation d'ADN et de protéine. Ces résultats suggèrent un rôle majeur pour RegA dans la persistance bactérienne pendant la brucellose. 12% du génome de B. suis est sous le contrôle de RegA ce qui indique qu'il est un régulateur global comme son PrrA d'homologue dans Rhodobacter sphearoidesThe capacity of Brucella suis, a strictly aerobic microorganisms, to adapt to low oxygen level is of high importance as it is a required and an essential process for bacterial establishment of virulence and persistence. Oxygen deficiency is a hostile condition to which bacteria are faced when they penetrate the host and reach their replicative niche as well as the persistence phase. This bacterium possesses several mechanisms that answer remarkably to this condition. It can use an oxygen-dependent transcriptional regulator of the FnrN family, two high-oxygen-affinity terminal oxidases, and a complete denitrification pathway to resist various conditions of oxygen deficiency. This work has demonstrated that the oxidative respiration and denitrification can be simultaneously used by B. suis under microaerobiosis. RegBA, a two component systems in B. suis, was also identified to be necessary in bacterial adaptation to oxygen deficiency as it was demonstrated to coordinate the control of the respiratory systems mentioned previously. A scheme for global regulation of B. suis respiratory pathways by the transcriptional regulator RegA was suggested: under redox variation, the cytochrome bd ubiquinol oxidase would play a role in the transmission of a signal to the histidine sensor kinase RegB. RegA in addition was found to be essential for B. suis persistence in vivo in mice within low oxygenated organs. RegA is thus assumed to be involved in the establishment of bacterial persistence during chronic infections. This study also investigated the potential control of RegA in the regulation of numerous genes during the persistence phase. By using a microarray assay comparing wild-type and ∆regA mutant strains, in an in vitro model that mimic the conditions of a chronic infection corresponding to nutrient and oxygen deficiency, 447 genes with a cutoff of the level of hybridization intensities ≥2, were detected regulated by RegA. In the wild-type strain, 45% and 55 % of the genes were up-regulated and down-regulated in wildtype strain, respectively. 14% of the microarray results were selected for genetic validation by RT-qPCR. RegA induced the expression of some genes involved in energy metabolism including the oxidative respiratory genes confirming that it interacts in bacterial adaptation to oxygen deficiency. RegA down-regulated genes involved in DNA replication, cellular division cell envelope biogenesis as well as certain genes in energy metabolism suggesting its impact on bacterial multiplication and adaptation to hypoxia as it enters into the persistence phase. RegA was also found to down-regulate virulence factors such as the virB operon as well as its regulator VjbR. Moreover, this study evaluated the role of two genes BR1614 and BR1510 regulated by RegA and found implicated in fatty acid metabolism. In vivo experiments in mice demonstrated that both genes are required for bacterial survival, multiplication and persistence. In conclusion, RegA was found to regulate, directly and indirectly, the expression of genes that encode for functions in translation, general transcription, energy production and conversion, repair of DNA and protein which represent its high importance and major role in bacterial persistence during brucellosis. 12% of the genome of B. suis is under the control of RegA which makes it a global regulator such as his homologue PrrA in Rhodobacter sphearoides

Métodos microbiológicos tradicionais como isolamento, coloração de Gram e testes bioquímicos auxiliam na identificação do gênero Streptococcus, no entanto, as espécies apresentam ampla variação fenotípica, tornando difícil a identificação ou diferenciação das mesmas apenas por estes métodos. Uma das espécies mais importantes em suínos, Streptococcus suis, tem provocado grandes prejuízos em todo o mundo e tem sido descrito como uma importante zoonose em alguns países. S. suis está presente nas vias respiratórias superiores, colonizando principalmente tonsilas, cavidades oral e nasal facilitando a alta disseminação por contato direto, principalmente em leitões entre 4 e 12 semanas de vida. Os quadros clínicos mais frequentes em suínos infectados pelo S. suis são meningite, artrite e pneumonia. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar estirpes do gênero Streptococcus mediante as técnicas de reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR), sequenciamento parcial do gene 16S rRNA e espectrometria de massa MALDI-TOF (MALDI-TOF MS). As análises por PCR e por MALDI-TOF MS resultaram na identificação de 215 estirpes como S. suis e 35 como diferentes espécies pertencentes ao gênero Streptococcus. Os resultados da identificação das 35 estirpes pertencentes a outras espécies do gênero Streptococcus pelo MALDI-TOF MS foram confirmados pelo sequenciamento parcial do gene 16S rRNA, sendo que as duas técnicas apresentaram 100% de concordância. Os resultados obtidos indicam grande eficácia na utilização das técnicas avaliadas para a identificação de S suis e de outras espécies do gênero Streptococcus. A técnica de MALDI-TOF MS, apesar do custo elevado do equipamento, apresentou a vantagem de ser rápida, apresentar baixo custo por análise e reduzida utilização de materialTraditional microbiological methods such as isolation, Gram staining and biochemical tests help to identify the Streptococcus genus, however, the species present broad phenotypic variation, making it difficult for their identification or even differentiation just by these methods. One of the most important species in swine, Streptococcus suis, has led to great losses worldwide and has been described as an important zoonosis in some countries. S. suis is present in the upper airways, especially colonizing tonsils, oral and nasal cavities facilitating the high dissemination by direct contact, especially among piglets between 4 to 12 weeks of age. The most common clinical manifestations in pigs infected by S. suis are meningitis, arthritis and pneumonia. The aim of this study was to identify Streptococcus strains by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 16S rRNA gene partial sequencing and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). PCR and MALDI-TOF MS analysis resulted in the identification of 215 strains as S. suis and 35 as different species of the Streptococcus genus. The identification of the 35 strains belonging to other species of the genus by MALDI-TOF MS was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene partial sequencing, and both techniques presented 100% concordance. These results demonstrate the high efficiency in the use of the evaluated techniques for the identification of S. suis and the other species of the Streptococcus genus. The MALDI-TOF MS technique, despite the equipment high cost, presented the advantage of being fast, have low cost per analysis and reduced material usage

Previous issue date: 2012-05-25Swine Eperitrozoonosis, (ES) caused by Mycoplasma suis, is an infectious disease of the red blood cells and causing a variety of reproductive disorders, since, as the birth of weak piglets and stillborn, and productive as the occurrence of clinical disease, performance degradation, increase in feed conversion and immunosuppression. Some cases may even lead to death from anemia. In the farms, the disease can be asymptomatic or cause fever, anemia, jaundice and poor appetite. The ES control is accomplished with the use of tetracyclines, which are now restricted in use in accordance with European legislation. Currently, the diagnosis of ES is made by clinical suspicion and or by using blood smears that are less sensitive and less specific. The aim of this study was to evaluate de Mycoplasma suis presence through the use of a PCR with internal control (CIA) and a quantitative Real Time PCR in farms with reproductive disorders. The place of performance was Embrapa Swine and Poultry in Concordia, SC. The sample consisted of 80 sows and 230 fetal necropsies performed on 27 farms with reproductive disorders in the states of Santa Catarina and Paraná. Were collected from each sow blood and tissues of two piglets and they were aborted, stillborn, mummified or unfeasible. After necropsy tissues were stored in sterile plate at -70C for future DNA extraction. Had no detectable DNA of the infectious agent in the blood of neither the sows nor the fetal tissues analyzed by PCR. The CIA developed was amplified in all reactions. Real-time PCR has detected M. suis in 17% of the sows and 40, 74% of farms had at least one positive sow
A Eperitrozoonose Suína (ES), causada pelo Mycoplasma suis, é uma doença infecciosa das hemácias e que causa uma série de transtornos, desde reprodutivos, como o nascimento de leitões fracos e natimortos, e produtivos, como a ocorrência de doença clínica, queda de desempenho, aumento na conversão alimentar e imunossupressão. Alguns casos ainda podem levar à morte por anemia. Nas granjas a enfermidade pode ser assintomática ou ainda causar febre, anemia, icterícia e inapetência. O controle da ES é realizado com as tetraciclinas, as quais hoje se encontram em uso restrito de acordo com a legislação européia. Atualmente o diagnóstico da ES é realizado pela suspeita clínica eou pela utilização de esfregaços sanguíneos que são pouco sensíveis e pouco específicos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar estudo da ocorrência da ES em granjas com transtornos reprodutivos com o uso das técnicas de PCR com controle interno (CIA) e de PCR quantitativo em Tempo Real. O local de execução foi a Embrapa Suínos e Aves de Concórdia, SC. Foram avaliadas 80 porcas e 230 fetos de necropsias realizadas em 27 granjas com problemas reprodutivos no estado de SC e PR. De cada porca foram coletados sangue e tecidos de dois leitões abortados, natimortos, inviáveis ou mumificados. Após a necropsia os tecidos foram armazenados em placa estéril a -70 C para futura extração de DNA. Não foram detectados DNA do agente infeccioso no sangue das porcas, tampouco dos tecidos fetais analisados no PCR . O CIA desenvolvido foi amplificado em todas as reações. No PCR em Tempo Real houve 17% de porcas positivas e 40,74% das granjas tiveram ao menos uma porca reagente

Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer le potentiel antimicrobien de bactériocines pour le contrôle du pathogène porcin Streptococcus suis sérotype 2. Pour répondre au premier objectif de ce projet, la susceptibilité de S. suis à la nisine, une bactériocine produite par Lactococcus lactis, seule ainsi qu'en combinaison avec différents antibiotiques, a été démontré. Pour réaliser le second objectif, la purification et la caractérisation d'une bactériocine produite par une souche non-virulente de S. suis sérotype 2 ont été effectuées. La bactériocine a d'abord été purifiée par HPLC pour ensuite être caractérisée au niveau biochimique, ainsi que génique. Des études plus approfondies permettront d'évaluer la capacité de la nisine, de la suicine 90-1330 ou de leur souche productrice respective à prévenir des infections expérimentales à S. suis chez le porc en vue d'une potentielle application thérapeutique et préventive.

O churrasco gaúcho, para muitos, poderia ser caracterizado apenas como “carne assada sobre brasas”. Todavia, diversos achados dão conta de que, na verdade, este prato típico é constituído por diversos outros elementos e símbolos, que o tornam uma atividade repleta de significados especiais. Desta forma, esta dissertação, através da óptica da experiência de consumo, objetiva explorar, de forma qualitativa, os elementos e dimensões que compõem a experiência de consumo do churrasco para os habitantes da cidade de Porto Alegre. Recomendada por diversos autores para ocasiões nas quais estão presentes aspectos experienciais, a Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) é aqui utilizada como inspiração para a confecção dos roteiros utilizados nas entrevistas em profundidade para a coleta de dados. Uma vez que o alimento objeto deste estudo pode ser degustado em uma ampla gama de ambientes e situações, é adotado aqui, tão somente, aquele churrasco consumido em casa ou na casa de amigos e/ou familiares, excluindo, portanto, locais de churrascos em churrascarias, restaurantes e quaisquer estabelecimentos comerciais. Os resultados obtidos apontam as principais características desta experiência de consumo, relativas aos seus contextos, estímulos sensoriais, processos cognitivos, respostas afetivas, atividades e avaliações, além de metáforas que os participantes apresentaram, mesmo que inconscientemente, através das imagens que trouxeram para as entrevistas. Dentre as principais características da experiência, ressaltam-se a importância da presença de amigos, a capacidade de aproximar o consumidor da tradição e cultura gaúchas, e o sentimento de alegria propiciado por ela.Rio Grande do Sul‟s barbecue, for most, could be characterized just as “meat toasted over cinder”. However, many findings point that, in truth, this typical meal is composed by many other elements and symbols, that make it an activity filled with special meanings. That said, this dissertation, through the experiential consumption optic, intends to explore, in a qualitative approach, the elements and dimensions that compose the barbecue‟s consumption experience for the habitants of the city of Porto Alegre. Recommended by many authors for occasions in which experiential aspects are present, the Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) is here used as an inspiration for the elaboration of the depth-interviews scripts used in the gathering of data. Once the food object for this study can be tasted in many different fashions, only the situations where the barbecue is consumed at home or by friend‟s or family are here adopted, excluding, therefore, barbecue places such as “churrascarias”, restaurants and any other commercial establishments. The obtained results point the main characteristics for this consumption experience, concerning its contexts, sensorial stimuli, cognitive processes, affective answers, activities and evaluation, besides metaphors elucidated by the interviewees, even unconsciously, through the images they brought to the interviews. Among the experience‟s properties, stand out the importance of friends presence, the hability to bring the consumer near to the local tradition and culture, and the sensation of joy propitiated by it.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the topoi found in various writings on the Indian subcontinent, which depict Muslim mystics, the Sufis, as responsible for the conversion, forced or peaceful, of non-Muslim Indians to Islam. Our analysis of various historiographical traditions produced in the Subcontinent between the eleventh and the twentieth centuries, will show that this image of Sufis qua missionaries is more the result of socio-political considerations (legitimization of imperial order; posthumous images of Sufis in the eyes of different folk audiences, etc.) than the reflection of historical reality. This thesis also examines the processes, most of them indirect, in which Sufis were involved and which on the long run led to the acculturation and to the Islamization of certain non-Muslim groups, thus opening the way for the birth and then consolidation of a Muslim identity.

Influence par son éducation (mysticisme de la beauté, théologie d'un dieu dispensateur des dons etc. ) Mais révolte, il se rebâtit une esthétique : il se libère peu à peu de la "fausse" beauté, cruelle, qui rend objet (physiognomonie, dandysme-carcan ; masque-prison ; coquetterie superficielle; l'androgynie-révolte), grâce à des arguments varies (signe ou cause de malheur, de bêtise, perfection froide, passagère, trompeuse, maligne etc. ); il édifie le laid comme de sel de la beauté, vérité des êtres, critère d'intelligence et bonté etc. , et, s'échappant de l'impasse de l'extrême, revient à son amour profond et naturel de la beauté pour la saluer divine, la religion étant le moyen suprême de la relativiser. . . Tout ceci avec les contradictions des désirs. Par un mécanisme de sublimation réussie, la révolte contre les railleries explique le désir de séduire par l'oral, puis l'écrit, le mot d'esprit, la critique, la critique d'art ; les rêves inassouvis ont suscité, eux, le roman, ses thèmes transversaux (niobe), les structures et le style. Donner aux autres du plaisir par son œuvre et être un critique d'art renforcent aussi l'image de soi, à l'encontre du jugement parental. .Barbey confessed that he wrote in a suffering whose origin is to be traced in his parents' unceasing mockery of his ugliness, which he heard ever since he was a child; on various occasions, too, he was led to believe that his parents would not have grieved had he been still-born. . . Influenced by his education (lysticism of beauty, theology of a god dispensing gifts, etc. ) But also revolted, he devised his own esthetics: step by step, he freed himself of the "false", cruel beauty that turns one into an object (physiognomony, dandyism as yoke, mask as prison, superficial fastidiousness, androgyny as revotl), thanks to various arguments (sign or cause of misfortune, stupidity, or a perfection liable to be cold, transitory, deceitful, malicious, etc. ). The ugly is built as salt of beauty, truth of human beings, criterion of intelligence and kindness, etc. Avoiding the dead-end of extremism, he veered back to his deep and natural love of beauty to proclaim it divine - religion being the supreme means of relativizing it

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to determine the prevalence of infection with Streptococcus suis type 2 in pigs in Western Australia (WA), to ascertain if differences exist between isolates cultured from diseased and healthy pigs, and to investigate differences in the virulence of isolates from different genetic backgrounds.
A selective medium, that incorporated antiserum raised against S. suis type 2, was used to determine the prevalence of infection in apparently healthy pigs at slaughter. Overall 60% of pigs were identified as being infected with S. suis type 2. The bacterium was found in 57.7% of palatine tonsils and 61.5% of pneumonic lung tissue examined, but only in 27.6% of apparently healthy lung tissue. Fifty of 51 herds sampled were found to have some pigs infected with S. suis type 2, with most herds (76.5%) having over 40% of the pigs infected. The only herd free from infection was a specific pathogen free unit. The prevalence of infection in herds that had reported clinical disease caused by S. suis type 2 was similar to that of herds where the disease had previously not been reported or where disease was not a regular occurrence.
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) was used to examine 124 isolates cultured from healthy and diseased pigs. These isolates were subdivided into 17 electrophoretic types (ETs) of which the majority belonged to ETs 8, 1 and 7. Isolates cultured from clinically diseased pigs in WA primarily belonged to ET 1, whilst those from other states of Australia mainly belonged to ET 8. However more isolates cultured from healthy pigs in WA belonged to ET 8. Some piggeries were found to be infected with up to 5 different ETs and one pig was found to be concurrently infected with 3 strains.
Thirty three isolates of S. suis type 2 were examined using DNA restriction endonuclease analysis (REA), and 14 different patterns were recognised. REA was capable of further subdividing specific ETs. On one farm isolates cultured from diseased pigs could be separated from isolates from apparently healthy pigs, even though they belonged to the one ET. Conversely some isolates belonging to closely related ETs were grouped into one REA pattern.
When isolates were inoculated into mice, those belonging to ET 1 were found to be more capable of causing disease than other isolates, however all isolates could produce disease when administered in a sufficiently high dose.
More isolates cultured from clinically diseased pigs were found to produce two proteins [muramidase released protein (MRP) and extracellular factor (EF)] than were isolates from healthy pigs, and EF, in particular, is a useful marker of virulent strains.
It was concluded that although 5. suis type 2 is widely distributed in the Western Australian pig industry, disease is not necessarily a direct consequence of the presence of the bacterium. Disease caused by S. suis type 2 is multifactorial in nature, and requires the presence of a virulent strain of bacterium along with appropriate predisposing management and environmental conditions for it to occur.

O Actinobaculum suis é um dos principais micro-organismos relacionados a infecções de trato urinário em fêmeas suínas. As características de crescimento deste agente dificultam o isolamento bacteriano tradicional, o que pode tornar a sua prevalência subestimada. Este estudo teve por objetivos desenvolver a reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR) para detecção do A. suis, avaliar a sensibilidade e especificidade desta técnica e comparar seu desempenho com o isolamento bacteriano. Além disso, as cepas isoladas foram caracterizadas através do polimorfismo de comprimento de fragmentos amplificados (AFLP) e submetidas à determinação da concentração inibitória mínima para caracterização dos perfis de susceptibilidade antimicrobiana. Foram analisados 45 suabes prepuciais de machos e 192 urinas de fêmeas suínas provenientes de três granjas. Os resultados indicaram que a PCR desenvolvida foi específica para o A. suis e apresentou limiar de detecção entre 1,0 X 101 UF/mL e 1,0 X 102 UFC/mL. A frequência de A. suis encontrada através da PCR foi de 82,2% (37/45) nos suabes prepuciais e de 8,9% (17/192) nas urinas de fêmeas. No que se refere ao isolamento, nenhuma das amostras de urina foi positiva para o agente, enquanto 31,1% (14/45) dos suabes foram positivos. A partir das amostras positivas isoladas dos suabes prepuciais foram selecionadas 20 cepas de A. suis. Os perfis de susceptibilidade entre estas cepas foram semelhantes, no entanto diferiram dos isolados utilizados como controle e provenientes de uma fêmea com infecção urinária. A técnica de PCR foi mais eficiente que o isolamento na identificação de amostras positivas para A. suis. Através do AFLP com uma única enzima foi possível caracterizar todos os isolados e relacionar os dados obtidos com a origem das cepas e o perfil de resistência. Até o presente não há relatos na literatura de caracterização genotípica de A. suis através do AFLP ou detecção do agente através da PCR.Actinobaculum suis is an important agent related to urinary infection in swine females. The growth characteristics of this agent hamper the traditional bacterial isolation, which can make their prevalence underestimated. The purpose of this study was to develop the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Actinobaculum suis detection, to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this technique and compare the results with bacterial isolation. Moreover, the isolates were characterized by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and subjected to determination of minimum inhibitory concentration for characterization of the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. Forty-five preputial swabs from boars and a hundred and ninety-two urine samples from sows of three herds were analyzed. The results indicate that the developed PCR was specific for A. suis, presenting a limit detection between 1.0 X 101 UFC/ml and 1.0 X 102 UFC/ml. A.suis frequency by PCR was 82.2% (37/45) in male preputial swabs and 8.9% (17/192) in females urine. Through traditional isolation, none of the urine samples were positive, while A.suis growing was observed in 31.1% (14/45) of the swabs. From the positive samples of the preputial swabs were selected 20 A.suis strains. The susceptibility profiles among these strains were similar, but differed from the female isolates used as control. The PCR technique was more effective than isolation for the A.suis detection. The AFLP with a single enzyme was able to characterize all isolates and relate the data obtained with the strains origin and resistance profile. Until present, there are no reports of genotypic characterization of A. suis strains through AFLP or agent detection by PCR.

Der zu den bedeutendsten Ektoparasiten des Schweines gehörende Erreger der Schweineräude, Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis, ist weltweit verbreitet und von wirtschaftlichen Interesse für Schweinezucht- und Mastbetriebe. Ziel dieser seroepidemiologischen Studie war die Gewinnung neuer Erkenntnisse über die Bestandsdynamik klinischer Räudeerscheinungen und dem Titerverlauf von IgG-Antikörpern gegen Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis im Serum von Sauen in Abhängigkeit vom Reproduktionszyklus (Trächtigkeit, Laktation, Besamung) und von Saugferkeln während der Säugeperiode sowie Aufzucht. Schlussfolgernd aufgrund der Ergebnisse dieser Studie eignen sich für die Kontrolle und Überwachung sowie Diagnostik der Sarcoptes-Räude von Beständen serologische Untersuchungen von Ferkeln bis zur zweiten Lebenswoche von räudeverdächtigen Sauen, „Jungsauen erster und zweiter Wurf“ sowie Sauen während der Trächtigkeit (vor allem letztes Drittel) und Deckeber. Eine Vorselektion auf räudeverdächtige Hautveränderungen sowie gesteigerte Kratzaktivitäten erhöht die Wahrscheinlichkeit serologisch positive Tiere zu identifizieren.

Full textAbstract:
Les éoliennes de grande taille sont des systèmes mécaniques complexes composes de corps flexibles soumis à des efforts en grande partie aléatoires. Ces machines peuvent être classées dans la catégorie des systèmes souples polyarticulés. La majorité des codes de calcul des efforts subis par les éoliennes développés jusqu'alors, se sont surtout focalisés sur la prédiction des efforts aérodynamiques s'exerçant sur le rotor. En outre, ils adoptent très souvent des hypothèses trop simplificatrices sur le comportement dynamique de ce type de machine. Cette thèse s'efforce de combler cette lacune, en proposant une démarche de calcul principalement fondée sur les formalismes récents, relatifs à l'étude dynamique des systèmes souples polyarticulés. L'application du formalisme de Kane et d'un schéma topologique arborescent débouché sur une écriture récursive des équations de la dynamique, adaptée à une transposition algorithmique du problème. Les souplesses des différents corps sont introduites par le biais de leur représentation modale. Les pales constituant la partie principale de la machine, leur représentation modale doit refléter leur comportement réel. Par conséquent, elle découle d'une modélisation éléments finis de type poutre, prenant en compte leur géométrie complexe ainsi que l'anisotropie des matériaux qui les composent. Les efforts aérodynamiques sont, quant à eux, déterminés par l'application de la théorie combinée ou tourbillonnaire (type sillage prescrit). La résolution du système d'équations est fondée sur un schéma d'intégration temporelle. Un code de calcul a été écrit sur la base de ces développements, permettant un calcul des efforts en régime de vent stationnaire.

No presente trabalho, estudaram-se aspectos epidemiológicos das infecções causadas por Streptococcus suis, enfocando, principalmente, a ocorrência dos seus diversos sorotipos. Analisaram-se 323 amostras de S. suis, isoladas de animais clinicamente doentes, as quais foram sorotipadas, de acordo com a técnica de coaglutinação, utilizando soro hiperimune produzido para este trabalho. Um questionário foi elaborado e enviado aos proprietários das granjas questionários recebidos, positivas para observou-se que S. todas suis. as Analisando granjas os possuem sistema de criação de ciclo completo, 40,5% possuem entre 10 e 20 anos de existência e 38,1% possuem entre 100 e 500 matrizes. Pela sorotipagem das amostras, constatou-se que o S. suis está presente em vários estados brasileiros, sendo o maior número de isolados correspondente ao Estado de Minas Gerais (60,1%), seguido de São Paulo (10,4%) e Paraná (8,9%). O sorotipo 2 foi o mais freqüente (61,9%), seguido dos sorotipos 1, 3, 4, 7 e 8. O maior número de isolamentos foi obtido de cérebro (56,0%), seguido do pulmão (9,8%) e casos de septicemia (9,2%). Em relação à sensibilidade a antibióticos, as amostras de S. suis foram mais sensíveis a amoxicilina (96,4%), seguida de lincomicina-espectinomicina (90,9%), ampicilina (87,2%), cloranfenicol (79,1%) e penicilina (71,0%).
In the present work, epidemiological features of Streptococcus infections were studied, mainly focalizing the serotypes suis occurrence. It was analyzed 323 S. suis isolated samples, of clinically sick pigs. These samples were serotyped following the coaglutination method, using hyperimmune sera, specially produced for this work. A questionnaire was developed and then sent to farmers that had S. suis positives pigs. Analyzing the received questionnaires, it was observed that all farms have farrow-to-finish production system, 40,5% have 10 to 20 years of production and 38,1% had between 100 and 500 sows. Serotyping these samples, it was noticed that S. suis is present in several Brazilian states, and the greater number of them belong to Minas Gerais, followed by São Paulo (10,4%) and Paraná (8,9%).The serotype 2 was the most frequent one (61,9%), followed by the serotypes 1, 3, 4, 7 and 8. The greater number of isolations occurred in brain (56,0%), followed by lung (9,8%) and septicemic cases (9,2%). Regarding to drugs’ sensitivity, the S. suis isolated samples were more sensitive to amoxicillin (96,4%), followed by lincomycin-spectinomycin (90,9%), ampicillin (87,2%), chloranphenicol (79,1%) and penicillin (71,0%).

Por refletirem a microbiota dos mananciais e serem excessivamente manipulados, sem sofrerem nenhum tratamento térmico quando usados para preparar sushis e sashimis, representam risco potencial de transmitir doenças de origem alimentar. Desta forma objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade microbiológica de sushis e sashimis comercializados na cidade de Maceió-AL, para alertar as autoridades sanitárias e os consumidores sobre as condições de sanidade destes alimentos. Foram coletadas 60 amostras, sendo 30 (trinta) de sushis e 30 (trinta) de sashimis, comercializadas em 05 (cinco) restaurantes especializados e 05 (cinco) não-especializados em comida japonesa, nas quais se pesquisou coliformes a 35ºC, coliformes a 45ºC, E. coli, Salmonella spp, S. aureus e B. cereus, de acordo com métodos de análise determinados pela APHA (2001) e FDA (2005). Os resultados demonstraram isolamento de todos os microrganismos analisados, indicando má qualidade da matéria-prima, falhas durante manipulação ou preparo dos pratos e distribuição inadequada em tempo ou temperatura das refeições. Um total de 90% dos sushis e 93,33% dos sashimis continham altas enumerações de coliformes a 45ºC, presença de Salmonella spp ou contagens de Sthapylococcus coagulase positiva acima dos padrões determinados pela RDC n.º 12 da ANVISA (2001). Sendo assim, considerando o potencial patogênico dos microrganismos identificados nas amostras, sugere-se que medidas urgentes, como a implantação de Boas Práticas de Fabricação, sejam implementadas no processo produtivo de sushis e sashimis na cidade de Maceió, para que a segurança alimentar seja garantida.

This thesis is a study of the mystical thought of Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari an Indonesian sufi of the eighteenth century, based on his treatise "al-Durr al-Nafis". After introducing the background of the topic, the thesis investigates the life and the religious education of Muhammad Nafis. The thesis then analyzes the concepts of Martabat Tujuh, Tawhid, and the light of Muhammad. This thesis also attempts to compare Nafis' mystical concepts with those of other sufis, especially from the Sammaniyya order. This will lead us to the conclusion that Nafis' ideas are very close to Burhanfuris doctrine of Martabat Tujuh.
