Texte intégralRésumé :
Questo studio pilota si propone di indagare il rapporto tra sinestesia e immaginazione mentale nell'ascolto musicale, partendo dall'ipotesi che il legame tra musica e immagini possa essere spiegato dai processi intermodali che coinvolgono aree diverse del cervello, in particolare l'area uditiva e quella visiva. Con l'utilizzo della tDCS (stimolazione elettrica transcranica a correnti dirette), e stata inibita la corteccia visiva primaria (V1), in un campione di musicisti e di non musicisti, per indagare il ruolo che puo assumere durante l'ascolto di brani musicali, valutando contemporaneamente la tendenza alla visualizzazione e la capacita sinestesica. Infine, e stato usato l'Eye Tracker per registrare gli indici comportamentali di esplorazione visiva, che possono essere ricondotti alla visualizzazione mentale durante la fruizione degli stimoli musicali. I risultati hanno mostrato che l'expertise musicale e l'inibizione di V1 incidono sull'esperienza sinestesica e di visualizzazione mentale durante la fruizione di stimoli musicali complessi. Inoltre, le analisi hanno permesso di evidenziare il ruolo di specifiche differenze individuali (in particolare la tendenza all'uso spontaneo delle immagini mentali e il tratto di personalita legato all'immaginazione) durante l'elaborazione cognitiva e sinestetica di stimoli musicali complessi.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In questo articolo analizziamo tre libri per bambini di Umberto Eco: La bomba e il generale (1966, rev. 1988), I tre cosmonauti (1966, rev. 1988) e Gli gnomi di Gnu (1992). Tutte e tre le opere appartengono a libri illustrati, la cui identità testuale indica che sono indirizzati al pubblico più giovane, mentre le straordinarie "illustrazioni" di Eugenio Carmi presentano un'espressione distintamente modernista con un focus sul pubblico adulto. In linea con la definizione di base della letteratura per bambini come fenomeno della lettura “a doppio fondo“, questi libri di Umberto Eco diventano una letteratura interessante per il cosiddetto pubblico duale. Nelle opere si prendono in esame le relazioni di potere tra le persone, si promuovono idee pacifiste sulla coesistenza, sulla tolleranza e sulla comprensione reciproca, nonché quelle ambientali sulla protezione della natura. In questo articolo analizziamo i suddetti media verbo-visivi, cercando di definire più precisamente la portata della loro intenzionalità.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La sella turcica vuota (SV) indica la presenza di una cavità sellare occupata da liquor a discapito di una ghiandola ipofisaria di volume ridotto ed appiattita contro il pavimento sellare. La SV Secondaria rappresenta una evoluzione di lesioni espansive sellari-parasellari note e in particolare di adenomi ipofisari a seguito di trattamento medico o chirurgico; per contro in assenza di precedenti patologici noti la SV si definisce Primitiva e rappresenta la conseguenza di un dismorfismo del diaframma sellare associato ad una involuzione ipofisaria ed a una alterata dinamica liquorale. In tutti questi casi si verifica l'erniazione intrasellare delle cisterne soprasellari che rappresenta l'elemento caratteristico della Sella Vuota. II quadro clinico che si può associare alla SV va sotto il nome di Sindrome della Sella Vuota ed è caratterizzato da alterazioni ormonali, da disturbi visivi e da cefalea: anche la rinoliquorrea può essere l'espressione anche iniziale di una SV. La TC e soprattutto la RM consentono un'analisi di dettaglio di tutti gli elementi costitutivi della SV rappresentati dalle alterazioni morfologiche e volumetriche della cavità sellare, dalla riduzione di volume del parenchima ipofisario, dallo stiramento del peduncolo ipofisario che può giacere o meno sulla linea mediana e dalla deformazione e erniazione intrasellare delle vie ottiche soprasellari e del muso del terzo ventricolo.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il presente lavoro tratta dell'insegnamento dell'interpretazione delle immagini mediche basato sul computer. Esso indica i vantaggi dell'assistenza del computer come metodo per fornire una consulenza sistematica accessibile per l'interpretazione delle immagini mediche, nonchè i problemi dati dalla sostituzione o dall'integrazione della figura dell'insegnante. Esso descrive il prototipo di un sistema di insegnamento relativo alle radiografie al torace ed illustra un progetto attualmente in corso per estendere il sistema alle immagini neurologiche della risonanza magnetica. Insegnare ad interpretare le immagini mediche è molto simile all'insegnamento in altre discipline, come la meteorologia, la botanica e la geologia, nelle quali le informazioni si presentano principalmente come immagini visive. Testi di psicologia dell'insegnamento forniscono chiare indicazioni su come insegnare le immagini visive e molte possono essere applicate all'insegnamento riferito alle immagini mediche. Ma le immagini mediche presentano problemi particolari: la qualità dell'immagine è fortemente influenzata da fattori tecnici come il tempo di esposizione; l'immagine è un'astrazione degradata della struttura fisica; le strutture tridimensionali sono ridotte a modulazioni dell'intensità dell'immagine; caratteristiche anatomiche cruciali possono essere nascoste da altre caratteristiche; e le caratteristiche possono assumere un'ampia gamma di valori in pazienti normali e in quelli con anomalie. Nonostante queste difficoltà non esiste un metodo affermato per insegnare ad esaminare le immagini mediche. Generalmente gli studenti imparano sui libri di testo e la loro esperienza di studio di casi è limitata a brevi incontri con un insegnante e un set di immagini scelte ad hoc. I sistemi di insegnamento basato sul computer offrono una soluzione al problema di fornire una consulenza sistematica accessibile. Essi sono stati sviluppati per altri settori della formazione professionale, come l'elettronica, la diagnosi di malattie infettive ed il controllo di processi industriali. Sono in grado di utilizzare varie strategie di insegnamento e di apprendimento, compresi lo sfogliare rapidamente il testo, l'esplorazione guidata, l'assistenza nello studio di casi e l'insegnamento diretto. Un computer può immagazzinare migliaia di immagini interrelate e collegate ad informazioni relative alle loro caratteristiche e alle patologie ad esse associate. Questo database può essere consultato per tenere una «lezione» costituita da una sequenza studiata di immagini esemplificatrici o per correggere le concezioni errate di uno studente mostrandogli immagini comparate.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractDoctor of Philosophy, Medicine and Divinity, Nobel laureate (1953), Albert Schweitzer embodied an indisputable ethical and intellectual authority that was universally admitted. However, in his book,Indian Thought and its Development(1936), the so-called “good doctor” engaged in an incredible eulogy of Western superiority at the expense of Indian thought. The pieces of evidence he used to support this argument can now be compared to the thoroughly ambiguous attitude he displayed toward the Africans among whom he had lived in Lambaréné.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Functional vision refers to the use of vision to perform day-day tasks and is assessed by the ability to perform these tasks. Assessment of functional vision is an integral component of the management of children with visual impairment. The results of the assessment help in designing appropriate educational and rehabilitation intervention strategies. The L V Prasad-Functional Vision Questionnaire (LVP-FVQ) is a reliable and valid tool for assessing self-reported functional vision performance (FVP) in children. Self-reports are obviously the child's perception of his or her ability to perform certain tasks but they may not reflect actual performance. Various studies of FVP in adults have used actual performance measures of everyday tasks, but very few studies, even in adults with visual impairment, have compared self-reports and performance measures and none have included identical tasks on the 2 methods of assessment. To date, no study has assessed FVP using performance measures of daily tasks in the paediatric population. Therefore, the aims of the current study were: (1) To develop performance measures of FVP and compare them with self-reports of FVP from the LVP-FVQ in a prospective cohort of Indian school-going children with visual impairment. (2) To investigate the effect of a psychological attribute, self-concept, on self-reports, performance measures and the relationships between the 2 measures. (3) To investigate the relationship between clinical measures of vision and FVP.
Performance measures of FVP for children with visual impairment were developed for 17 day to day tasks for comparison with self-reports of the same tasks for the LVP-FVQ. The LVP-FVQ was verbally administered by the researcher to 178 Indian school-going children aged between 8 and 17 years with visual impairment. Similarly, the performance of each of the tasks by these children was measured by the researcher. The performance measures for most of these tasks were recorded on continuous scales and later categorized to match the ordinal ratings from the LVP-FVQ. The self-report and performance measure ratings for the 17 tasks were then converted into the same metric using a Rasch model allowing an accurate picture of whether and how these two measures of FVP compared with each other. Rasch analysis was used to estimate the person ability and item difficulty for FVP from the 2 methods of assessment.
Self-reports showed stronger correlations with performance measures of FVP than were hypothesized. Similar to some studies in adults, binocular high-contrast visual acuity was found to be the single most significant predictor of a child's functional vision performance. Contrary to expectations, self-concept did not have a significant effect on the relationship between the 2 measures.
A few reasons for the stronger than expected relationship between the 2 methods of assessment of FVP in children with visual impairment are suggested. Firstly, the use of identical tasks for self-reports and performance measures of FVP is likely to improve the relationship. Secondly, the LVP-FVQ was developed using focus groups of children with visual impairment, their parents, low vision specialists and rehabilitation professionals leading to good content validity. Since children were included in the development of the LVP-FVQ, the tasks were representative of a child's typical daily life. Thus, the performance measures were also suited to the day-day tasks of school-going children but were not tapping any social and psychological issues relating to visual impairment. Thirdly, the use of Rasch analysis which addresses many of the issues of unequal measurement and defines a hierarchy of items for self-reports and performance measures could have led to higher correlations in the present study. Finally, the high reliability and validity of self-reports and performance measures of FVP in the present study may have contributed to the higher than expected correlations.
None of the demographic variables or self-concept affected the relationship between self-reports and performance measures of FVP, but self-concept had a weak significant association with self-reports. This result is unique to this study and warrants further investigation.
Binocular high-contrast visual acuity alone, the most common visual function measured in ophthalmic clinics, explained between one-third and two-thirds of the variance in functional vision performance. This confirms the expected trend that with worse visual impairment, FVP is lower. The addition of the variable, self-concept, resulted in a very small increase in the variability explained for self-reported FVP. Similarly, the addition of other clinical measures of vision such as binocular low contrast visual acuity and colour vision resulted in a small increase in the variability explained for performance measures of FVP. The correlation between binocular high-contrast visual acuity and performance measures of FVP was statistically significantly higher than that between binocular high-contrast visual acuity and self-reports of FVP. There are a few possible reasons for this higher correlation. Firstly, performance measures are considered to be a more "objective" form of assessment, while self-reports are a child's perception of his or her ability and therefore lack a context, which may result in either over-estimation or under-estimation of actual ability. Furthermore, performance measures include dimensions such as the time taken to perform a task or other criteria specific to a task, while self-reports do not use such qualifiers. Secondly, the higher correlation may be the result of the visual complexity of some of the tasks.
While self-concepts of children with visual impairment played a small but significant role in the self-reported FVP, studies in adults with visual impairment have suggested that other psychological factors such as mood, anxiety, motivation etc. are associated with an individual's perception of visual performance. Future studies are required to explore the possible role of these and other factors in FVP in Indian school-going children with visual impairment.
This thesis makes a significant contribution to the field of paediatric low vision rehabilitation by providing performance measures of FVP and relating them to self-reports in children with visual impairment and their relationship with common measures of visual function. With self-reports, the child is reporting his or her perception of ability to complete a task, where performance measures examine the child's ability to complete a task by observing his or her performance. Thus, although the two methods are comparable, it is because of the different yields from each of these measures that they are not considered interchangeable. A combination of the 2 measures where practical would perhaps provide a richer depiction of the FVP of children with visual impairment.
As developing countries such as India have limited resources allocated for eye care services where less than seven percent of the gross national product is spent on health care, self-reports can be utilized together with clinical measures of vision (mainly visual acuity) to assess the FVP in children with visual impairment in a community setting. However, both methods of assessment of FVP together with clinical measures of vision are essential if a comprehensive assessment of FVP is to be carried out in children with visual impairment. Information from these assessments can help clinicians better understand the functioning of children with visual impairment and incorporate them in the management of low vision in school-going children with visual impairment in India.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Au cours de ces dernières décennies, le concept de la compétitivité s'est établi comme un mot-clé important dans la vie sociale, à l’échelle micro-économique et surtout macro-économique. Au regard d’une mondialisation grandissante et de l'expansion des marchés mondiaux, la compétitivité peut quelque fois se limiter à l’aspect purement économique et commercial. Alors que l’examen des différents défis économiques, sociaux et environnementaux qui préoccupent de nos jours l’humanité conduit à reconsidérer les modèles d’évaluation de la croissance économique adoptée, à reconnaitre leurs limites et à apporter un jugement critique sur l’évaluation de la compétitivité. Ce travail se propose donc d’explorer quelques possibilités de l’intégration contemporaine de principes « éthiques » dans le concept de la compétitivité macroéconomique. Prenant en compte la dynamique du concept de la compétitivité, la thèse analyse l’histoire et l’évolution de cette notion. L’analyse engage alors une approche théorique, ensuite une étude comparée des différents indices d’évaluation de la compétitivité. L’objectif est d’examiner comment des principes éthiques peuvent être intégrés pour la mesure et l’évaluation de la compétitivité des pays, c’est-à-dire comment elle pourrait être évaluée au-delà du PIB et des résultats commerciaux et comment elle rejoint également la préoccupation pour les inégalités, la pauvreté, le changement climatique dans des domaines aussi différents que la santé, l’éducation, l’eau et l’agriculture …Les objectifs de la Charia (Maqasid Charia) constituent une assise convenable pour construire un nouvel indice de compétitivité éthique, permettant ainsi la contribution de différents pays, même non musulmans, à chacun des objectifs de la ChariaThroughout the past decades, competitiveness was established as an important concept in social life, at micro and especially macro levels. With globalization and the expansion of global markets, competitiveness can sometimes be limited to purely economic and commercial dimensions. While examining various current economic, social and environmental challenges that affect today’s economy and humanity, the thesis reconsiders the economic growth assessment models adopted, to recognize their limits and put forward critical judgment on the assessment of competitiveness. This study develops, therefore, an exploration of some possibilities of contemporary integration of "ethical" principles into the concept of macroeconomic competitiveness.Taking into account the dynamics of the concept of competitiveness, the thesis analyzes the history and evolution of this concept. The analysis puts forward a theoretical approach, followed by a comparative study of different indices for assessing competitiveness. The aim is to examine how ethical principles are integrated to measure countries' competitiveness. That is, how competitiveness could be evaluated beyond the GDP and trade outcomes and that it also incorporates the measures of inequality, poverty, climate change, health, education, water, agriculture etc. The objectives of Shariah (Maqasid al Shariah) present a suitable foundation to build a new ethical competitiveness index that measures countries’ contribution to the objectives of the Shariah

Texte intégralRésumé :
Thesis advisor: Thomas J. MassaroThere is a substantial and growing corpus of literature that describes, with convincing statistics and analysis, globalization as the greatest achievement in the history of our modern world and that it has brought the greatest degree of prosperity and economic growth to poor countries. However, seen from the perspective of the poor and the marginalized, the current globalization has not helped them to end their misery and marginalization; indeed in most cases it has actually worsened their situation. The Christian community cannot remain an idle spectator of this unjust, inhuman and sinful global reality. Analyzed from a Christian theological perspective, it is not only an economic issue but also a moral issue. It is a social sin to violate human dignity, to commodify human labor, and to marginalize the poor. Based on the teachings of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences, the Catholic Bishops Conference of India and some prominent Asian theologians, I contend that dialogue with other faith traditions, cultures and the poor must be an essential part of her mission of humanizing the current globalization. I argue that the Church in India should avoid the presumption that she already possesses a vision of the common good adequate to the Indian society. While remaining committed to gospel values, the Church must be an open-minded listening and learning

Trabajo de Investigación Requisito para optar al Título de Cirujano DentistaAutor no autoriza el acceso a texto completo de su documento
La búsqueda de la salud y estética en la cavidad oral ha cobrando gran importancia en los últimos tiempos. Han surgido múltiples avances en diferentes especialidades odontológicas de este ámbito. El estudio de las características de la encía y tejido óseo adyacente han sido sujeto de gran interés para el desarrollo de especialidades tales como: periodoncia, ortodoncia y rehabilitación tanto para fines terapéuticos como estéticos. Dentro de las características a estudiar tenemos el grosor gingival, el grosor cortical óseo alveolar y la relación entre ambos. Estas características son claves para determinar el biotipo periodontal, el cual juega un papel clave en la planificación y pronóstico de terapias tanto de rehabilitación como estéticas. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la existencia de una relación entre grosor gingival (GG) y grosor cortical óseo alveolar (GCOA), en estudiantes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile, mediante el uso de i-CAT Cone Beam 3D y su posterior análisis con i-CAT Vision Software ® . Material y Método: Se sometió a 19 pacientes a un análisis mediante i-CAT Cone Beam 3D de maxilar superior, para ello se separó el labio superior con tórulas de algodón lo que permitió la visualización del vestíbulo libremente. Mediante el uso de i-CAT Vision Software ® se realizó un corte sagital a nivel de las piezas 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 2.1, 2.2 y 2.3 en un punto equidistante a sus caras mesial y distal. Se midió GG y GCOA a nivel de la mitad del ancho gingival corono apical observado en el corte sagital previamente determinado. Se analizaron estadísticamente los resultados a través del test de chi cuadrado. Los resultados arrojaron que en promedio el 87% de los sitios analizados mostró una relación lineal entre GG y GCOA. El GG promedio fue de 0.49 ± 0.2 para la pieza 1.3; 0.74 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 1.2; 0.63 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 1.1; 0.7 ± 0.3 mm para la pieza 2.1; 0.72 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 2.2 y 0.63 ± 0.1 mm para la pieza 2.3. El GCOA promedio fue de 0.61 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 1.3; 0.63 ± 0.3 mm para la pieza 1.2; 0.62 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 1.1; 0.63 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 2.1; 0.63 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 2.2 y de 0.62 ± 0.2 mm para la pieza 2.3. Se puede concluir que bajo estas condiciones experimentales existe una relación entre GG y GCOA.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Le mémoire de maîtrise intitulé Religion et développement : étude de cas sur le mouvement indien Swadhyay Parivar présente une description approfondie d'un mouvement socio-religieux, dont la vision de développement personnel et communautaire s'enracine dans le patrimoine culturel et spirituel de l'Inde. Il vise à démontrer que le développement endogène, qui tire pleinement partie [i.e. parti] des ressources matérielles et spirituelles locales peut constituer une option très viable en matière de développement. Cette recherche lance un double défi : celui de prendre en compte les multiples avantages du développement conçu par et pour les principaux bénéficiaires, en égard des modèles de développement importés de l'Occident.Le second défi consiste à reconnaître que le développement peut avoir intérêt à intégrer la dimension spirituelle et religieuse de la collectivité visée, moyennant une mise à jour du système religieux traditionnel dont certains éléments peuvent se révéler dysfonctionnels.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Hakka emigration has created many smaller communities worldwide; where some groups continued their migratory journey. One such example is the Hakkas, who first migrated to Calcutta and then moved on to Vienna and Toronto, clustering in a close-knit social network. In various sessions, Viennese Hakkas of all age groups were interviewed for their lifestories and linguistic practices. (a) The linguistic competence of the migrants includes Hakka, English and Indian (Hindi, Ben¬gali) but often rather little German; Hakka is important at the workplace (Chinese restaurants) and is transmitted in families; Indian helps establish professional relationships with Indian migrants. (b) The social network is rather closed to Hakka friends from Calcutta or from other places. All Hakkas closely cooperate and usually have only few outside contacts. They consider Calcutta as their old homeland to which they return for Chinese New Year. (c) The younger generation consists of weak speakers of Hakka who are fully integrated into Austrian culture, but also maintain contacts to Toronto and love to visit friends and family in India. To conclude, the Indian Hakkas of Vienna are an interesting example of a two-step migration which first converted some Chinese into Indians, and then planted this Indian subgroup into Europe.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Indian power sector has made significant progress despite legacy industry constraints. The current installed capacity is 140,000 MW and is growing at about 10% annually. The capacity utilization is beyond known benchmarks i.e. national average is over 78% and while NTPC over 92%. Traditional Indian MRO strategy is based on strategic improvisations to obtain the best out of prevailing industry and restricted maintenance windows. Power plant MRO in India faces issues of service and quality response. It presents an area which has scope for systemic improvements. The subject is also important due to linkage to energy efficiency improvement potentials which are central to global climate initiatives. “MRO Study Project” was undertaken by NTPC (along with Frost & Sullivan) with participation of other Indian generating companies to create a holistic industry view to accurately directionalize the improvement efforts. Power plant MRO is a weakly documented subject in India whereas for industrial countries it’s an almost settled issue. The project — which targeted creation of insights into power station and vendor side — therefore called for significant primary research. Teams visited most of the 36 participating Indian power stations and interviewed 40 MRO vendors (out of 200 participants). For best practice reference creation, visits were made to 7 power stations in Germany while information was also gathered from USA, South Africa and China. The project deliverables include a project report and certain data base considered useful to the industry. Indian power plant MRO has evolved around capacity utilization as the centre. The processes are man power intensive characterized by 1000 very small vendors who work for some 140 thermal stations. Survey indicated service and quality issues as well as inadequate technical back up of vendors which is compensated by plant personnel supervision. New objectives of efficiency improvement and costs reduction call for fundamental changes in areas of tooling, craft skill sets and procedures. MRO Destination envisions emergence of new industry components other than workforce providers — maintenance companies, maintenance schools, certification companies etc. The road map for change recommends three key focus areas: tariff structure which incentivizes efficiency improvement through MRO, best practice infusion to the MRO business and contracting processes improvements of power stations. Involvement of international vendors is expected to provide the best practice exposure as well as catalyze changes in the internal systems. Industry level initiative is recommended by creating a platform for accelerating change and cost effectiveness. The paper presents the project process, key data/analysis, salient findings and business opportunities. For India and many developing countries with similar focus, the work could be useful as it provides a structured platform for internal diagnostics on MRO as well as provides the prospective partners (international utilities and MRO service providers) with Indian MRO business nuances and opportunities to better plan possible business tie ups.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Electro Static Precipitator’s in India — that dedust about 65000 MWe capacity — have come a long way from their Western Pedigree. The imported designs mutated, prompted by the Indian coal/ash, which characterize uniquely- essentially high ash content of atypical composition and very high resistivity. Insufficient initial recognition of this aspect, incremental environmental consciousness and progressively deteriorating coal quality led to a convoluted and not so satisfactory ESP performance scenario in the country. Recognizing the need for organic interventions, NTPC undertook multiple studies and tests-backed up by a strong knowledge network- on almost all ESP performance enhancement options. While certain options are under extended observation, Flue Gas Conditioning (FGC) — based on encouraging test results and worldwide presence — is being inducted in some NTPC stations. Triggered by this broad-based program, FGC has started appearing front stage in India. This study visits aspects that make FGC attractive for Indian ESPs. Looking beyond the present, an attempt has been made to examine the potential of ESP-FGC combination as a dependable alternative for the long term. “Technology maturity”, “flexibility in space requirements” and the “blanket performance control” that FGC offers are the critical success factors. Implementation economics though unclear now, is complimented by the relatively low locked capital component, which FGC offers. It emerges that a sound theoretical base for the conditioning agent choice and its action on ash/ESP performance is missing and needs to be developed for a systematic development and spread. Technology initiatives are invited for this task. The paper, oriented as a comprehensive narration to act as a precursor to such developmental work, therefore picks up from ESP advent in India enumerating the key reasons for the pessimistic performance response through the key FGC application determinants.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Emissions from trash burning represent an important component of regional air quality, especially in countries such as India where the practice of roadside, residential, and municipal trash burning is highly prevalent. However, research on trash emissions is limited due to difficulties associated with measuring a source that varies widely in composition and burning characteristics. To investigate trash burning in India, a collaborative program was formed among RTI, Duke University, and the India Institute of Technology (IIT) in Gandhinagar, involving both senior researchers and students. In addition to researching emission measurement techniques, this program aimed to foster international partnerships and provide students with a hands-on educational experience, culminating in a pilot study in India. Before traveling, students from Duke and IIT met virtually to design experiments. IIT students were able to visit proposed sites and offer specified knowledge on burning practices prior to the pilot study, allowing potential experiments to be iteratively improved. The results demonstrated a proof of concept of using a low-cost sensor attached to a commercial drone to measure emissions from a municipal dump site. In addition, for small-scale residential and roadside trash burning, a combustor was designed to burn trash in a consistent way. Results suggested that thermocouples and low-cost sensors may offer an affordable way for combustor designers to assess particulate emissions during prototype iterations. More experiences like this should be made available so that future research can benefit from the unique insights that come from having veteran researchers work with students and from forming international partnerships.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Este informe describe y presenta los resultados del Indice de Desarrollo de la Banda Ancha (IDBA) en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). El principal objetivo del IDBA es medir la brecha digital en ALC mediante la evaluación del desarrollo de la banda ancha en los 26 países prestatarios del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y también en países adicionales de referencia de otras regiones (65 naciones en total). El BID tiene como misión ayudar al desarrollo de ALC y financiar los esfuerzos tendientes a reducir la pobreza y la desigualdad social en la región. El IDBA contribuirá a focalizar la financiación que el BID destina a proyectos que tienen entre sus objetivos el desarrollo de la banda ancha en una región o país. El IDBA es una potente herramienta que permite identificar la magnitud de la brecha digital mediante dos enfoques geográficos diferentes. En primer lugar, al comparar el estado de un país frente al clúster al que pertenece y, en segundo lugar, al compararlo con los países de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE). Además el IDBA presenta comparaciones anuales, ya que se actualiza cada año. Este año se han realizado cambios en la metodología de cálculo del Indice debido al concepto dinámico de la banda ancha, la cual avanza junto con los cambios económicos y demográficos y también por las nuevas necesidades y preferencias de los usuarios. Como consecuencia, se buscan indicadores más adecuados para medir el desarrollo de la banda ancha en ALC y las brechas y desafíos del sector en comparación con otras regiones más avanzadas. En la actualidad el Indice está formado por 44 variables: 30 forman parte directa del mismo y 14 se consideran variables auxiliares. Las 30 variables que componen el IDBA se distribuyen en cuatro pilares: Políticas públicas y visión estratégica, Regulación estratégica, Infraestructuras, y Aplicaciones y capacitación. Como resultado, el IDBA proporciona una herramienta actualizada para la toma de decisiones, el desarrollo de políticas públicas y la elaboración de planes de acción concretos para la mejora de cada país, gracias a la identificación de debilidades y fortalezas de cada uno.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Breeding bird surveys were initiated on Wilson’s Creek National Monument, Missouri, in 2008 to assess temporal changes in the species composition and abundance of birds on the park and to improve our understanding of relationships between breeding birds and their habitat and the effects of management actions, such as invasive plant species control and tree thinning, on bird populations. Birds were sampled using point counts with 38 variable circular plots located on a systematic grid of 400 x 400-m cells (originating from a random start point). All birds seen or heard on a plot during a 5-min sampling period were recorded. In the 13 years since initiating our breeding bird survey, birds were surveyed on as many of the 38 variable circular plots as possible each year, resulting in 444 cumulative plot visits. Surveys have yielded records for 119 different species of birds. Ninety-eight of the species recorded are classified as permanent or summer residents to the area, 18 are classified as transients in the area, and 3 as winter residents to the area. Eight breeding species recorded are considered species of conservation concern for the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region, the bird conservation region in which Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield is located. Of the 98 breeding species recorded, 12 species in grassland habitat and 15 in woodland habitat occurred in numbers large enough to calculate annual abundances with some degree of confidence. Trends in abundance were classified as uncertain for most species, which means that no significant increases or decreases occurred but it is not certain that trends were <5% per year. The Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea) population in grassland habitat was stable. The Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus) and Eastern Wood-pewee (Contopus virens) populations in woodland habitat were in moderate decline. Comparing population trends on the park with regional trends for the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region suggests that the bird community at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield is faring similarly to that of the region as a whole. Stable diversity, richness, and evenness values suggest that the park’s habitat has remained consistent in its ability to meet the requirements of many of the park’s breeding bird species. Any decline in species richness could reflect habitat management practices, but it could also reflect the influences of larger-scale factors such as weather or climatic conditions on vegetation. Therefore, continued monitoring of birds and their habitats on Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield as management and weather and climatic conditions change is essential for park management.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Breeding bird surveys were initiated on George Washington Carver National Monument, Missouri, in 2008 to assess temporal changes in the species composition and abundance of birds on the park and to improve our understanding of relationships between breeding birds and their habitat and the effects of management actions, such as invasive plant species control and tree thinning, on bird populations. Birds were sampled using point counts with 70 variable circular plots located on a systematic grid of 100 x 100-m cells (originating from a random start point). All birds seen or heard on a plot during a 5-min sampling period were recorded. In the 13 years since initiating our breeding bird surveys on the park, birds were surveyed on as many of the 70 variable circular plots as possible each year, resulting in 520 cumulative plot visits. Surveys have yielded records for 100 different species of birds. Ninety-seven of the species recorded are classified as permanent or summer residents to the area, two are classified as transients in the area, and one as a winter resident to the area. Six breeding species recorded are considered species of conservation concern for the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region, the bird conservation region in which George Washington Carver National Monument is located. Of the 97 breeding species recorded, ten species in grassland habitat and six in woodland habitat occurred in numbers large enough to calculate annual abundances with some degree of confidence. Trends in abundance were classified as uncertain for most species, which means that there were no significant increases or decreases, but it is not certain that trends were < 5% per year. The Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) in woodland habitat was stable. The Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna) in grassland habitat was in moderate decline, and the Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) in grassland habitat was in steep decline. Comparing population trends (i.e., changes in population size over time) on the park with regional trends for the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region suggests that the bird community at George Washington Carver National Monument is faring similarly to that of the region as a whole. Trends in the park’s popula-tions of Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla) and Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea) in grassland habitat and Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) in woodland habitat were uncertain, whereas they declined significantly in the larger region, which could be a result of management on George Washington Carver National Monument. Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) population trends, while uncertain in grassland habitat on the park, increased significantly in the region. The Red-bellied Woodpecker utilizes trees for foraging, which are sparse in the grassland habitat on the park. Declining diversity and richness values suggest that park habitat is declining in its ability to meet the requirements of many of the park’s breeding bird species. This decline in species richness could reflect habitat management practices, but it could also reflect the influences of larger-scale factors such as weather or climatic conditions on vegetation. Therefore, continued monitoring of birds and their habitats on George Washington Carver National Monument as management and weather and climatic conditions change is essential for park management.

Iron supplementation : Knowledge, perceptions, and usage among pregnant women in rural India. Population Council, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1997.1021.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In India, severe anemia has been one of the causes of high maternal mortality and death of newborns and infants due to low birthweight. The prevalence of anemia among women ages 15–44 is extremely high. The Government of India has provided iron and folic acid tablets (IFA) as a prophylaxis against nutritional anemia among pregnant women as part of the Child Survival and Safe Motherhood program and will continue to do so in the Reproductive and Child Health package. This paper presents findings of both qualitative and quantitative research conducted among pregnant women to investigate the extent of distribution and use, information provision, and knowledge and perceptions regarding IFA tablets and reasons for nonuse. The study shows that consumption rate of IFA tablets is high if women are knowledgeable and have positive experiences after taking the tablets. Findings suggest that more accurate and complete information should be provided to pregnant women while distributing IFA tablets along with health and nutritional education messages. At the same time, follow-up visits and counseling are essential to address symptoms that are not related to IFA.

Observations from a study tour of Bangladesh and Indonesia on their family welfare programme. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1043.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Bangladesh has a successful family planning (FP) program and has succeeded in bringing about a demographic transition at a much faster rate than many of its neighboring countries. The contraceptive prevalence rate in Bangladesh increased from 3 percent in 1971 to 45 percent in 1993, and the fertility rate decreased from 7.0 to 3.4 births per woman during the same period. This reflects the effort that the Government of Bangladesh, with the help of international agencies, has made to educate couples about FP and increase access and choice of contraceptive methods, even in remote areas. Another predominantly Muslim country that has achieved remarkable success in FP is Indonesia which has had unprecedented economic growth in recent years. A visit to these countries to study their FP programs provided opportunities to closely observe activities that have contributed to this success. The Population Council, under the Asia and Near East Operations Research and Technical Assistance (ANE OR/TA) project funded by USAID, organized a study tour of Bangladesh and Indonesia for Indian officials, and results are provided in this report.
