The frequency of gastrointestinal endocrine tumours in a well-defined population--Northern Ireland 1970-1985

The reported incidence of gastrointestinal endocrine tumours is variable. In Northern Ireland circumstances allowing such an assessment are favourable with a central diagnostic laboratory and register established to collect data on tumours from a well-defined population of 1.5 million people. From 1970 to 1985, 368 cases were recorded of which 85 per cent were carcinoid tumours. The annual incidence of carcinoid tumours was 1.3 per 100,000 of the population and the majority occurred in the appendix (61 per cent). No patients presented with the carcinoid syndrome. The annual incidence for other tumours was 0.12 per 100,000 for insulinomas; islet cell tumours of unknown type 0.07; Zollinger-Ellison syndrome 0.05; and multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 0.05. There were two cases of VIPoma, one glucagonoma, one neurotensinoma and one tumour producing ACTH. It is possible that some tumours are more uncommon than others because of difficulty in diagnosis.

Vaccination and All Cause Child Mortality 1985-2011: Global Evidence from the Demographic and Health Surveys

Based on models with calibrated parameters for infection, case fatality rates, and vaccine efficacy, basic childhood vaccinations have been estimated to be highly cost effective. We estimate the association of vaccination with mortality directly from survey data. Using 149 cross-sectional Demographic and Health Surveys, we determine the relationship between vaccination coverage and under five mortality at the survey cluster level. Our data include approximately one million children in 68,490 clusters in 62 countries. We consider the childhood measles, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus (DPT), Polio, and maternal tetanus vaccinations. Using modified Poisson regression to estimate the relative risk of child mortality in each cluster, we also adjust for selection bias caused by the vaccination status of dead children not being reported. Childhood vaccination, and in particular measles and tetanus vaccination, is associated with substantial reductions in childhood mortality. We estimate that children in clusters with complete vaccination coverage have relative risk of mortality 0.73 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.68, 0.77) that of children in a cluster with no vaccination. While widely used, basic vaccines still have coverage rates well below 100% in many countries, and our results emphasize the effectiveness of increasing their coverage rates in order to reduce child mortality.

A fase utópico-patriótica da poesia angolana (1965-1985)

O presente trabalho propõe-se analisar a poesia dos autores angolanos que publicaram entre 1965 e 1985, identificando este segmento temporal como uma fase literária da literatura angolana (designada como utópico-patriótica), a qual exprime os princípios anticoloniais e projeta um espaço utópico genuinamente angolano. Tendo em conta a evolução da literatura angolana, subjaz à produção poética dos autores estudados um certo sentido de continuidade, o qual, estimulado pela difusão do nacionalismo, passa pela poesia «da terra» dos mensageiros e continua com os versos encriptados e anticoloniais das décadas de 60 e 70. O espaço utópico projetado na primeira parte da fase utópico-patriótica encontra a sua possibilidade de concretização com a independência de Angola, em 1975, participando os escritores da construção do recém-nascido Estado-Nação. A produção poética da segunda parte da fase utópico-patriótica é, assim, caraterizada pela celebração dos heróis, na ótica de uma (re)perspetivação da história nacional. A partir de 1985, quando se torna evidente o falhanço da utopia, a poesia angolana ensaia um novo rumo pela mão da «geração das incertezas». Ao longo deste percurso, a poesia angolana publicada entre 1965 e 1985 representa um meio de consciencialização ético-política dos cidadãos e concorre para a construção da identidade político-literária da nação angolana, cuja legitimação decorre do processo de conquista da independência.

What a girl's gotta do: the labor of the biopolitical celebrity in austerity Britain

This article debunks the widespread view that young female celebrities, especially those who rise to fame through reality shows and other forms of media-orchestrated self-exposure, dodge “real” work out of laziness, fatalism, and a misguided sense of entitlement. Instead, the authors argue that becoming a celebrity in a neoliberal economy such as that of the United Kingdom, where austerity measures disproportionately disadvantage the young, women, and the poor, is not as irregular or exceptional a choice as previously thought, especially since the precariousness of celebrity earning power adheres to the current demands of the neoliberal economy on its workforce. What is more, becoming a celebrity involves different forms of labor that are best described as biopolitical, since such labor fully involves and consumes the human body and its capacities as a living organism. Weight gain and weight loss, pregnancy, physical transformation through plastic surgery, physical symptoms of emotional distress, and even illness and death are all photographically documented and supplemented by extended textual commentary, usually with direct input from the celebrity, reinforcing and expanding on the visual content. As well as casting celebrity work as labor, the authors also maintain that the workings of celebrity should always be examined in the context of wider cultural, social and real economies.

Evaluación del recurso concha de abanico Argopecten purpuratus en el área de Callao. Julio 1985

Contiene información científica sobre el recurso concha de abanico, proveniente de la evaluación efectuada en el Callao en Julio de 1985. El estudio comprende los bancos naturales originales de este especie y su área de ampliación propiciada por el fenómeno El Niño (1982-1983), cuyas condiciones fueron favorables para el desarrollo e incremento de su producción. Sin embargo, el estudio concluye que el exceso de campañas de extracción con rastra (arte de pesca), generó una merma en la población del recurso por falta de regulaciones adecuadas para una extracción sostenida.

Dinoflagelados del mar peruano como indicadores de masas de agua durante los años 1982 a 1985

Se estudió la distribución de los dinoflagelados en relación con la temperatura y la salinidad durante los períodos "El Niño", "post-niño" y "normal", frente a la costa peruana (3º S a 18º30' S), con la finalidad de determinar algunos parámetros que pudieran ser utilizados para el reconocimiento de alteraciones en el ambiente marino. El material fue colectado con red estándar de fitoplancton desde setiembre 1982 a febrero 1985. En condiciones de "El Niño" disminuye la densidad de los dinoflagelados pero aumenta la diversidad, registrándose numerosas especies foráneas cerca a la costa. Se confirma­ron y determinaron algunos indicadores de las diferentes masas de agua frente al Perú, tales como Protoperidinium obtusum, indicador de aguas costeras frfas (ACF); Ceratium breve, Ornithocercus steinii, O. thumii y Amphisofenia thrinax, indicadores de aguas ecuatoriales superficiales (AES), de altas temperaturas y bajas salinidades; C. befone, C. bigefowii, C. praefongum y Gonyaufax pacifica, indicadores de aguas subtropicales superficiales (ASS), de altas temperaturas y altas salinidades; y Goniodoma pofyedricum, Ceratocorys horrida, C. armata, O. quadratus, O.magnificus, C. fongirostrum, C. gibberum y Amphisofenia bidentata, entre otros, indicadores de aguas cálidas en general. Siguien­do el patrón de distribución de estas especies se puede describir el inicio, desarrollo, intensidad y duración de "El Niño".
