La réflexion de ce chapitre explicite, à partir d'observations et d'entretiens conduits auprès des différentes salles de prière, associations ou communautés religieuses musulmanes du canton de Vaud, deux niveaux du paradoxe suivant: être invisibles pour éviter la stigmatisation sociale et être visibles pour se faire entendre et reconnaître à leur juste valeur. L'invisibilité concerne plus spécialement l'échelon local, l'impact et les interactions que peuvent avoir les associations avec leur environnement proche. La visibilité se caractérise par la volonté de l'UVAM de faire sortir les musulmans de l'ombre. Elle touche le niveau supra-local : les objectifs et stratégies communs que la grande majorité des groupes se sont choisis à travers une représentation cantonale fédérative. Le dispositif que l'UVAM met en place vise à poser concrètement la question de la gestion publique de l'islam sur le plan vaudois.

The nervous system is a frequent target of industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and environmental pollutants. To screen large numbers of compounds for their neurotoxic potential, in vitro systems are required which combine organ-specific traits with robustness and high reproducibility. These requirements are met by serum-free aggregating brain cell cultures derived from mechanically dissociated embryonic rat brain. The initial cell suspension, composed of neural stem cells, neural progenitor cells, immature postmitotic neurons, glioblasts, and microglial cells, is kept under continuous gyratory agitation. Spherical aggregates form spontaneously and are maintained in suspension culture for several weeks. Within the aggregates, the cells rearrange and mature, reproducing critical morphogenic events such as migration, proliferation, differentiation, synaptogenesis, and myelination. In addition to the spontaneous reconstitution of histotypic brain architecture, the cultures acquire organ-specific functionality as indicated by activity-dependent glucose consumption, spontaneous electrical activity, and brain-specific inflammatory responses. These three-dimensional primary cell cultures offer therefore a unique model for neurotoxicity testing both during development and at advanced cellular differentiation. The high number of aggregates available and the excellent reproducibility of the cultures facilitate routine test procedures. This chapter presents a detailed description of the preparation and maintenance of these cultures as well as their use for routine toxicity testing.

Schistosomiasis, classified by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease, is an intravascular parasitic disease associated to a chronic inflammatory state. Evidence implicating inflammation in vascular dysfunction continues to mount, which, broadly defined, reflects a failure in the control of intracellular Ca2+ and consequently, vascular contraction. Therefore, we measured aorta contraction induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and endothelin-1 (ET-1), two important regulators of vascular contraction. Isometric aortic contractions were determined in control and Schistosoma mansoni-infected mice. In the infected animals, 5-HT induced a 50% higher contraction in relation to controls and we also observed an increased contraction in response to Ca2+ mobilisation from sarcoplasmic reticulum. Nevertheless, Rho kinase inhibition reduced the contraction in response to 5-HT equally in both groups, discarding an increase of the contractile machinery sensitivity to Ca2+. Furthermore, no alteration was observed for contractions induced by ET-1 in both groups. Our data suggest that an immune-vascular interaction occurs in schistosomiasis, altering vascular contraction outside the mesenteric portal system. More importantly, it affects distinct intracellular signalling involved in aorta contraction, in this case increasing 5-HT receptor signalling.

Between 1984 and 2006, 12 959 people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA) in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study contributed a total of 73 412 person-years (py) of follow-up, 35 551 of which derived from PWHA treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Five hundred and ninety-seven incident Kaposi sarcoma (KS) cases were identified of whom 52 were among HAART users. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Kaposi sarcoma incidence fell abruptly in 1996-1998 to reach a plateau at 1.4 per 1000 py afterwards. Men having sex with men and birth in Africa or the Middle East were associated with KS in both non-users and users of HAART but the risk pattern by CD4 cell count differed. Only very low CD4 cell count (<50 cells microl(-1)) at enrollment or at HAART initiation were significantly associated with KS among HAART users. The HR for KS declined steeply in the first months after HAART initiation and continued to be low 7-10 years afterwards (HR, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.02-0.17). Thirty-three out of 52 (63.5%) KS cases among HAART users arose among PWHA who had stopped treatment or used HAART for less than 6 months.

L’empresa RUSCALLEDA, S.L., ubicada a la localitat de Vic, es dedica a l’elaboració deproductes alimentaris. La instal·lació actual de generació de calor utilitza una caldera antiga de combustible líquid i té una capacitat de producció de vapor de 1.500 kg/h. A causa de la demanda creixent de productes semielaborats, l'empresa vol instal·lar tres unitats noves de la línia final de productes semielaborats. Aquestes noves unitats tindrien un considerable consum d’energia calorífica en forma de vapor i requeririen actualitzar la instal·lació actual de producció i distribució de calor. L’objecte del projecte és la instal·lació d’un segon generador de vapor que sigui capaç d’alimentar la instal·lació actual més l’ampliació, quedant el generador actual en paral·lel per ser utilitzat en cas d’emergència
