Population and Government in Colonial Buenos Aires. An Approach to the Study of the Tensions Generated by Demographic Growth in the City (1740-1776)

The relationship between population and government in the City of Buenos Aires is analyzed, focusing on the tensions generated by the arrival of new individuals, a local elite with great interests in commerce and in charge of community affairs, and Spanish functionaries that progressively adopted the ideals of the Bourbon Dynasty, despite also being implicated in local logics. It interests us to observe the governors’ perspectives with respect to everyday developments in the city, their preoccupations and interests, and how they would vary the mechanisms to which they resorted in order to organize daily life, in the period defined between 1740 and 1776.

Dossier “Império Português e Comunicações"

A relação entre as comunicações, os media e o império português é o tema principal do dossiê que se propõe. O volume tem uma base interdisciplinar, acolhendo estudos de comunicação, história, literatura, entre outros domínios dos estudos humanísticos e das ciências sociais, que contribuam para a melhor compreensão das relações entre as comunicações e a política imperial de Portugal desde o século XVIII até finais da década de 1970. A partir de uma perspectiva alargada de comunicação, que pode abranger as estruturas físicas de transporte e todas as formas de comunicação simbólica (correio, imprensa, mass media, literatura, arquitetura, iconografia, etc), encoraja-se a apresentação de estudos que esclareçam as articulações e tensões entre os mais diversos media e o estabelecimento e manutenção de um império português no Brasil, em Angola, Moçambique, São Tomé e Príncipe, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, India (Goa, Damão e Diu), Timor-Leste e Macau. Procuram-se pesquisas que privilegiem uma multiplicidade de perspectivas da metrópole e das colônias e que enfatizem as interações entre comunicação, política, economia, sociedade e identidades culturais e nacionais. Aceitam-se contribuições em tópicos como: Conjugações e conexões entre transportes e comunicação na dinâmica imperial; Relação entre missões exploratórias, cartografia, infraestruturas de comunicação e estabelecimento de um Império; Media e comemoracionismo; Imprensa, propaganda, opinião pública e domínio imperial; Imperialismo e cultura popular; Meios de comunicação nas colónias (imprensa, rádio, literatura), resistência e constituição de identidades nacionais.

Analyse du rôle de l'IFREMER dans l'instruction du dossier Salmor

This report describes the contribution made by IFREMER in the various stages of installation of a new salmon culture in barge's tanks moored in Morlaix Bay. Tacking into account the opposition to this project, including direct criticism of the role of IFREMER, a considerable effort is made to provide detailed environmental impact data to the appropriate Government office

Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics: An underutilized resource

A meeting was convened in Canberra, Australia, at the request of the Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC), on December 3-4, 1997 to discuss the role of population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in drug evaluation and development. The ADEC was particularly concerned about registration of drugs in the pediatric age group. The population approach could be used more often than is currently the case in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies to provide valuable information for the safe and effective use of drugs in neonates, infants, and children. The meeting ultimately broadened to include discussion about other subgroups. The main conclusions of the meeting were: 1. The population approach, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis, is a valuable tool both for drug registration purposes and for optimal dosing of drugs in specific groups of patients, 2. Population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies are able to fill in the gaps' in registration of drugs, for example, to provide information on optimal pediatric dosing. Such studies provide a basis for enhancing product information to improve rational prescribing, 3. Expertise is required to perform the population studies and expertise, with a clinical perspective, is also required to evaluate such studies if they are to be submitted as part of a drug registration dossier Such expertise is available in the Australasian region and is increasing. Centers of excellence with the appropriate expertise to advise and assist should be encouraged to develop and grow in the region, 4. The use of the population approach by the pharmaceutical industry needs to be encouraged to provide valuable information not obtainable by other techniques. The acceptance of population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses by regulatory agencies also needs to be encouraged, and 5. Development of the population approach to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is needed from a public health perspective to ensure that all available information is collected and used to improve the way drugs are used. This important endeavor needs funding and support at the local and international levels.

Adjunctive benefits of systemic etoricoxib in non-surgical treatment of aggressive periodontitis: Short-term evaluation

Background: This pilot study assessed the effect of short-duration treatment with etoricoxib as adjuvant therapy to scaling and root planing (SRP) on the clinical and radiographic parameters and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) levels in aggressive periodontitis. Methods: Subjects were randomly allocated to test or control treatment (n = 10 in each group) and submitted to SRP and treatment with etoricoxib, 120 mg/day, or placebo for 7 days. Probing depth, clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession, visible plaque index, bleeding on probing, linear distance (LD) from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar crest, and analysis of the gray levels were recorded before and 1 month after the therapies. The prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) level in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was measured by radioimmunoassay at the beginning of the study and 7 and 30 days after treatment. Results: No significant difference in the clinical parameters was observed between the groups at the end of the experimental period, although both groups presented significant improvement in all variables examined. There was a decrease in CAL from 5.54 +/- 0.47 mm to 3.59 +/- 0.53 mm in the test group and from 5.92 +/- 1.10 mmto 3.69 +/- 0.80 mm in the control group. A significant reduction in PGE(2) was found after 7 days of treatment. LD differed between the groups. Conclusion: Etoricoxib did not promote additional improvement in the clinical parameters; however, it produced an initial reduction in the PGE(2) levels in the GCF, which could be related to the discrete improvement in the bone condition.
