Abstract:
The following treatise first frames the role of CBOs in responding to the HIV/Aids crisis in relation to their position in the global health governance system through a literature survey that moves from an analysis of the global structures down to the local. The survey covers the role of international organisations, international NGOs (INGOs), national governments, local NGOs and CBOs and outlines the context in which Masizakhe is working within the global health governance structure. Secondly the research design and methodology are outlined focusing on the longitudinal, case study and participant--‐observation approaches. Hypotheses, conceptualisation, definitions, key variables are described and data collection methods and fieldwork practice extrapolated upon. Following that data capturing, editing and analysis are discussed in conjunction with shortcomings and sources of error. In the fourth chapter the research discusses the history, structure and outlines the research findings by comparing what has changed within the organisation over time, presenting and discussing the results. The outcomes of this research have shown that existing problems in this particular CBO are very difficult to overcome without committed, sustained support from donors, government, community and the organisation’s members. CBOs are often hamstrung by a series of intersecting factors which hamper their ability to problem--‐solve, even when the route to overcoming the problem is clear, particularly when the capacity and will to do so is not always present from both within the organisation and from outside support systems. These challenges then impact on the overall quality of and ability to deliver the services the organisation is structured to deliver. The major challenge for the organisation remains the inconsistent donor cycle and resultant instability thus created within an organisation already working in a highly volatile, unstable situation marked by poverty and disease. Thus the title, The Aids of Aid?, captures the essence of Masizakhe’s struggle with its own syndrome of problems. It summarises a comment made by the project secretary said that: “Sometimes it feels like we are not only fighting for the health of our people – We are fighting for the health of our organisation. We are a sick organisation trying to help sick people. All we need is donors and funding –we can’t live without them, and when they don't give, we get sick” (Stamper, Pers Comm, 2011). The other emergent challenges were a battle internally with ‘founder syndrome’, lack of management transparency and a dysfunctional board.

Abstract:
The discourse of ‘the white man’s burden’ that originated in the nineteenth century with missionaries and colonialism still underpins much of the development ideology towards Africa today. The overwhelming assumption that rich Western countries can and should address ‘underdevelopment’ through aid only stigmatizes African reality, framing it to mirror the worldview of the international donors who fund most non-profit interventionist documentaries. In the ‘parachute filmmaking’ style that results, facilitated by financial resources and reflecting the self-serving intentions of the donors, the non-profit filmmaker functions simply as an agent of meaning rather than authentic author of the text. Challenged by limited production schedules and lacking in cultural understanding most donor-sponsored films fall back on an ethnocentric one-size-fits-all template of an ‘inferior other’ who needs to be ‘helped’. This study sets out to challenge the ‘donor gaze’ in documentary films which ‘speak about’ Africa, arguing instead for a more inclusive style of filmmaking that gives voice to its subjects by ‘speaking with’ them. The special focus is on black African women whose images are used to signify helplessness, vulnerability and ignorance, particularly in donor-funded documentaries addressing HIV/AIDS. Through case studies of four films this study asks: 1. How do documentary films reinforce the donor gaze? (how is the film speaking and why?) 2. Can the donor gaze be challenged? (should intentionality always override subjectivity of the filmed subjects?) Film studies approach the gaze psychoanalytically (e.g. Mulvey 1975) but this study focuses on the conscious gaze of filmmakers because they reinforce or challenge ‘the pictures in our heads.’ Sight is an architect of meaning. Gaze orders reality but the documentary gaze can re-order it. The study argues that in Africa, the ‘donor gaze’ constructs meaning by ‘speaking about’ reality and calls instead for a new approach for documentary to ‘speak with’ reality.

Abstract:
It was hypothesized that religious orientation would influence the attitudes that individuals formulated about AIDS and its victims. Specifically, intrinsically oriented subjects were predicted to have more positive attitudes toward AIDS and people with AIDS, and extrinsically oriented subjects were predicted to have more negative attitudes toward AIDS and people with AIDS. Sixty three college students enrolled in social psychology were administered Allport and Ross' Religious Orientation Scale to measure intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation. Three existing measures were used to assess attitudes toward AIDS. Additional instruments were also given to assess the subjects' knowledge about AIDS and attitudes toward homosexuality in order to eliminate the risk of confounds from these variables. Results showed no relationship between religiosity and attitudes toward AIDS, knowledge about AIDS, or attitudes toward homosexuality. Several plausible alternative explanations for the null results were considered and recommendations for future research were discussed.

O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar as relações entre as representações sociais da aids e o conhecimento científico sobre HIV/aids de pessoas maiores de 18 anos de idade. Para tanto, concebeu-se a pesquisa em duas etapas: (1) construção do teste de conhecimento; (2) relações entre representações sociais da aids e níveis de conhecimento científico sobre HIV/aids. Na primeira etapa, realizada em três momentos, acessou-se um total de 29 pessoas maiores de 18 anos de idade, entre elas quatro especialistas em HIV/aids. Ao seu final, obteve-se um teste para aferição dos níveis de conhecimento científico sobre HIV/aids composto por 85 itens divididos em seis dimensões do conhecimento sobre o tema: descrição do HIV/aids (7 itens); história da doença e HIV (7 itens); formas de contágio e prevenção do HIV (32 itens); sintomatologia da aids e funcionamento do HIV (26 itens); tratamento da aids e controle HIV (8 itens); uma sobre epidemiologia HIV/aids (5 itens). Na segunda etapa do estudo caracterizaram-se as representações sociais da aids e os níveis de conhecimento científico e relacionaram-se as duas variáveis. Para tanto, aplicou-se um questionário auto-respondido em 480 pessoas com média de idade de 25,44 anos (DP = 8,25 anos), com escolaridade variável de nove a mais de 15 anos de estudos. Verificaram-se associações entre os elementos da representação social da aids e os níveis de conhecimento científico sobre HIV/aids de forma que os participantes com maiores níveis de conhecimento citaram com maior frequência os elementos: tratamento, grupo de risco, drogas, dst e imunidade; e os com menores níveis de conhecimento o elemento: sofrimento. Os resultados sugerem que níveis elevados de conhecimento científico sobre HIV/aids revelam um conhecimento de senso comum sobre aids permeado de elementos que refletem o conhecimento científico.

Abstract:
This study was designed to describe the attitudes of staff nurses toward patients who have Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and to determine if the 1989 Washington State licensing requirement for seven hours of AIDS education was effective in changing the attitudes of these nurses toward AIDS patients. Health care providers' attitudes toward patients with AIDS have been documented as differing from their attitudes toward patients with other debilitating conditions (cancer, diabetes, heart disease) in that they place more blame for getting the disease on those with AIDS, they tend to have some degree of homophobia, and they are sometimes overly cautions in using protective procedures around these patients. The consequence of these attitudes can be seen in the nursing care received by some of these patients: insensitive comments and avoidance behavior by staff.

Abstract:
The sensitivity of the human immune system to the retrovirus HIV is difficult to explain on the basis of viral cytopathicity. AIDS develops often long after initial HIV infection in spite of a vigorous and sustained immune response against the virus which effectively contains viral replication. Although more virulent strains of HIV can be isolated from immunodeficient persons, there is no evidence that these strains predominate in vivo or that a large increase in production of infectious virus accompanies progression to disease. There is as yet no satisfactory mechanism to explain the immunosuppression, T4 cell depletion, autoimmunity, and immunodeficiency associated with HIV infection. An hypothesis that AIDS results from immune responses to HIV gp120 and to allogeneic cells stems from recent developments in the symmetrical network theory. It is proposed that T-cell selection processes produce a T-cell idiotypic network "centrepole," which bears an internal image of self MHC class II within T-cell receptors. This network centrepole interacts with the anti-class II helper cell repertoire to stabilize both its own expression and expression of the helper T-cell repertoire. The idiotypes involved in this mutual stabilization are related to certain idiotypes present on allogeneic lymphocytes and to the envelope glycoprotein of HIV gp120. Through its relationship to CD4 protein, and hence class II MHC, HTV gp120 is thought to mimic the T-cell network centrepole. Anti-host class II receptors on allogeneic lymphocytes induce antibodies which also mimic the proposed centrepole. The immune response to gp120 is directed against the centrepole and against the antibodies (anti-anti-class II) induced by the receptors of allogeneic lymphocytes. The hypothesis evaluated in this thesis project is that the immune responses described above synergize in an attack on both the centrepole and the helper cell repertoire, resulting in aberrant immune regulation, autoimmunity, and eventually, AIDS. Sera from persons with AIDS or at risk of AIDS were examined for antibodies implicated in the above scheme. Anti-anti-CD4/anti-gp120 antibodies (putative anti-centrepole) were found in only a small minority of subjects and did not correlate with disease, while anti-anti-class II antibodies were almost never detected. Anti-MHC class I antibodies, reflecting alloimmunity, were associated with HIV infection and to some extent with disease progression. Autoantibodies against denatured collagen, reflecting autoimmunity, were found in almost all AIDS patients. The prevalence of these autoantibodies increases in HIV infection and with disease expression. Antibodies against denatured collagen show an interesting distribution which suggests they are related to the idiotypic determinants involved in the pathogenesis of AIDS and other similar immune disorders. The specificity of these antibodies suggests they arise through immunoregulatory defects induced through idiotypic network interactions.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Microbiology and Immunology, Department of<br>Graduate

Work object was HIV/AIDS coverage in mass media. Analysis of scientific printed matters and available research results allow to conclude that HIV/AIDS topic, control and prevention are tightly related as these issues require general integral point of view. Role of mass media and its impact onto prevention of epidemics and reduction of prevalence is obvious, possible potential to perform this role is also well-seen. Quantitative content analysis and quality expert interview used to assess HIV/AIDS coverage in mass media resulted into following conclusions: professional HIV/AIDS coverage in mass media depends on comprehensive complex point of view, and not only on attention and possibilities of the mass media but also on effective cooperation with interested institutions and population groups to affect targeted dissemination of...

Related articles recent1y published in newspapers from São Paulo State were also considered in the analysis.Adolescents are largely influenced by the media. They adopt the social representation of sexuality as their own, therefore their speeches are reproductions of social codes, and their own singularities are not revealed. However, we had to realise this ftrst to understand (and not only to explain or unveil it) and to be able to propose a way of dealing with the questions brought by AIDS and sexuality. We had no intentions in creating a new social code, but we aimed to give these adolescents opportunities to discuss and to perceive their own singular selves.

Isocyanates 11, 39, 46 and 56 were synthesised via a wide range of synthetic techniques and these novel compounds and their precursors treated to comprehensive In addition all were subjected to reaction with suitable However, although these structural characterisation. alcohols to determine the enantio-diagnostic value, compounds reacted in the desired manner, none have exhibited the desired diagnostic ability. 2) (R,R)- and (S,S)-l,3-Diphenyl-l,3-propanediol 86 are useful C2 chiral auxiliaries. A number of oxidative and catalytic techniques were employed in an attempt to synthesise these compounds.

Tanto a maternidade como a doença são construções histórico-culturais, com valorações antagônicas e associadas a representações socialmente compartilhadas, produzindo efeitos de subjetivação. Enquanto que a maternidade é associada à transmissão da vida e a um ideal de amor e doação, conferindo maior valoração à mulher que se torna mãe, o vírus HIV e a Aids são associados ao adoecimento e à morte. Pessoas infectadas pelo HIV, especialmente mulheres, são consideradas promíscuas e estigmatizadas, existindo a fantasia de que mulheres que têm relações estáveis estão a salvo da infecção. No Ocidente, sob a influência de diversos saberes e do cristianismo, foi estabelecida uma dicotomia entre a maternidade e o erotismo. Assim, se a sexualidade era legitimada nos homens, a sua expressão nas mulheres era vista como sinal de desvio de conduta, visão que ainda hoje produz efeitos nas práticas e valores morais compartilhados socialmente. Freud, ao atribuir à sexualidade um lugar central na constituição do sujeito, associada aos desejos inconscientes e voltada essencialmente à obtenção de prazer, dá-lhe outro estatuto, desvinculando-a da finalidade reprodutiva, ao mesmo tempo em que restitui à mulher seu corpo erotizado. Apesar dos esforços das instituições sociais para conter a sexualidade por meio de normas, ela extravasa os limites estabelecidos. A busca de prazer coloca as mulheres em condição de maior vulnerabilidade, em decorrência das assimetrias, culturalmente justificadas e validadas, nas relações de gênero. Essa assimetria coloca grande parte das mulheres em uma posição de submissão frente ao homem, o que se evidenciou nas falas das mulheres atendidas no ambulatório. Para muitas pessoas, ainda prevalece a visão dicotômica entre a mulher recatada e a que vivencia sua sexualidade livremente. As mulheres que contraem o vírus através da prática sexual, sem que tenham uma relação estável, são desqualificadas, enquanto que aquelas que foram infectadas pelos maridos, são vistas como vítimas de uma fatalidade. Assim, grande parte das mulheres atendidas, infectadas pelo vírus, temia que sua condição fosse descoberta e relutava em contar ao companheiro sobre essa condição. Tinham medo de serem abandonadas, receavam não mais poder dar expressão à sua sexualidade e muitas delas, em suas fantasias, temiam sofrer violência física. Além desses receios, comuns a outras mulheres, as gestantes expressavam medo de transmitir o vírus ao filho, o que as fazia viver um conflito, e muitas achavam que não poderiam ser boas mães, uma vez que não poderiam amamentar. Assujeitadas aos valores vigentes, elas próprias sentiam-se destituídas de valor. Propiciar a essas mulheres um espaço de fala e escuta, possibilitou a muitas delas a oportunidade de re-elaboração subjetiva de fantasias relacionadas à condição de soropositivas, proporcionando-lhes a busca de novas formas de lidar com a realidade e com o outro. <br><br>Abstract: This dissertation has tried to establish, from theory and psychoanalytic sessions, the relations between the simultaneous experiences of maternity and HIV infection in women attended in an ambulatory specialized in HIV/Aids treatment and prevention, who were diagnosed during pregnancy or within three months of their babies? lives. Both maternity and disease are historical and cultural constructions with antagonistic valuation and associated to socially shared representations, producing subjective effects. While maternity is associated to the transmission of life and to an ideal of love and donation, conferring a greater value to a woman who becomes a mother, the HIV virus and Aids are associated to illness and death. HIV infected persons, specially women, are considered promiscuous and are stigmatized, existing the fantasy that women who have stable relationships are safe from infection. In the West, under the influence of various sciences and of Christianism, a dichotomy has been established between maternity and eroticism. As a result, if sexuality were legitimate for men, its expression in women was seen as a signal of a conduct deviation, a vision that still produces effects nowadays in socially shared practices and moral values. When Freud assigned to sexuality a central place in a subject?s constitution, associated to unconscious desires and essentially connected to obtaining pleasure, he gave it another dimension, disconnecting it from reproductive purposes, at the same time returning to women their eroticized bodies. Regardless of the efforts made by social institutions to contain sexuality by means of rules it goes beyond established limits. The search of pleasure places women in a more vulnerable condition as a result from culturally justified and validated asymmetries in gender relations. Such asymmetry puts an important part of women in a position of submission before men, which has been evidenced in the spoken reports of women attended in the ambulatory. Many persons still have a dichotomic vision between the modest woman and that who freely lives her sexuality. Women who are infected by the virus through sexual intercourse without having a stable relationship are disqualified, while those who have been infected by their husbands are seen as victims of a fatality. Thus, a great number of women attended, infected by the virus, feared the disclosure of their condition and were reluctant in telling their companions about their condition. They were afraid of being left, feared no longer being able to express their sexuality and, many of them, in their fantasies, were afraid of physical violence. Besides such fears, common to other women, pregnant women expressed fear of transmitting the virus to their babies, leading them to a conflict, and many thought they could not be good mothers since they would not be able to breast-feed. Submitted to the current values, they themselves felt valueless. By giving these women a space to speak and to being heard, many of them had the opportunity to subjectively re-make their fantasies related to their serum-positive condition and to search new ways to deal with reality and with others.

Abstract:
<p>Bakgrund: Varje dag smittas i genomsnitt cirka 14 000 personer av HIV i världen. Ny behandling har gjort att dessa patienter idag lever längre. Sjukdomsförlopp samt komplikationer går inte att förutsäga utan är individuellt. Eftersom personer med HIV/AIDS-diagnos nu lever längre kommer behovet av arbetsterapeutiska insatser att öka. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva arbetsterapeutiska insatser för personer med HIV/AIDS samt vilken roll arbetsterapeuten har i arbetet kring dessa personer. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie gjordes för att få svar på syftet. Resultat: Vi har kommit fram till att arbetsterapeutiska insatser för personer med HIV/AIDS kan delas in i fem teman; Handledning, Hjälpmedel och anpassning, Undervisning, Förhållningssätt samt Existentiella frågor och andlighet. Arbetsterapeuten hjälper patienten att formulera målsättningar och att uppnå ökad självständighet genom att bland annat tillhandahålla hjälpmedel och bedriva utbildning. HIV/AIDS-patienters bakgrund är viktig att tänka på då den kan visa hur mottaglig en patient är för olika arbetsterapeutiska behandlingsmetoder. Slutsats: Arbetsterapeutiska insatser som används i arbetet med HIV/AIDS-patienter skiljer sig inte mot insatser riktade till andra patientgrupper.</p>

Abstract:
Prejudice and discrimination against people infected with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is widespread. A significant body of research has examined what personality and demographic characteristics appear to be related to discriminatory behavior, in an attempt to suggest who might be more likely to express prejudicial attitudes and discrimination against people with AIDS. This study tested two causal models which attempted to verify existing theories explaining the influences of demographic and attitudinal factors on the evaluation of a person with AIDS. Specifically, these models sought to answer questions related to what personality characteristics and demographic information are most important to AIDS educators and counselors when examining prejudice and discrimination towards persons with AIDS. Three hundred university undergraduates participated in the study. Structural equations modeling was used to analyze the extent to which the models fit the data. Results showed that both models adequately explained the data, with the model establishing a direct causal link between homophobic attitudes and AIDSbased prejudice as the preferred model. Alternative models were also considered in a post-hoc fashion. Implications of the results are discussed, with specific emphasis given to the potential ramifications to further research, counseling practice, and AIDS education.<br>Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Abstract:
The subject of this thesis is AIDS writing, broadly defined as British and American novels that are concerned with the medical conditions known as HIV and AIDS. These novels are mostly, although not exclusively, by and aimed at, gay men. My aim is to legitimise AIDS literature as an area of literary study through the use of genre theory. The writers and readers of AIDS writing have tended to come from marginalised groups and this has led, in part, to the critical silence that surrounds these texts. My aim is to challenge this neglect of a substantial body of writing and to present AIDS writing as a subject for serious literary consideration. The thesis begins with an examination of the meaning of literary legitimacy and the ways in which previously marginalised texts have achieved literary status. I argue that being considered a literary genre is one way in which a group of texts can be seen to be worthy of literary study. The first chapter explores theories of genre to arrive at a useful working definition for this study. The second chapter examines the concept of AIDS writing as a genre and explores the main aspects of that genre. The third chapter moves on to discuss issues of authorship and legitimacy that have characterised the few previous studies of AIDS writing. The main conclusion is that the connections between these texts, including subject matter and imagery, substantiate the consideration of AIDS writing as a literary genre. The establishment of AIDS writing as a genre is a means of legitimising it as an area for literary study and thus allowing that writing to gain literary status. As a consequence, the subject area of literary studies is broadened, and AIDS writing, and implicitly the ideologies contained within it, is afforded the importance conferred by having literary status.

Abstract:
A random sample of 365 students attending a university in northern Texas returned a mailed questionnaire measuring the students' knowledge of Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), their perceived susceptibility to AIDS, and their sexual practices during the last year. The students had high knowledge levels about AIDS in general. However, 70% did not worry about getting AIDS. Collectively, there was a display of concern until it became a personal issue. The students (59%) saw themselves as less likely than most people to get AIDS. Although 70% of this sexually active group did not use condoms, they still did not perceive themselves as susceptible to AIDS.

Abstract:
Desde o advento da terapia anti-retroviral e de sua distribuição gratuita pelo governo brasileiro, milhares de pessoas se tratam e vivem com aids no Brasil. A crescente sobrevida, o tratamento anti-retroviral e o monitoramento da doença através dos exames de CD4 e carga viral tornaram a aids, de acordo com definições biomédicas, uma doença crônica. Esta dissertação busca compreender a experiência da doença das pessoas que vivem com aids neste novo contexto crônico, e discutir as permanências e mudanças ocorridas, após dez anos do início da distribuição gratuita da terapia tripla potente (HAART). Trata-se de uma pesquisa de análise qualitativa de trinta e duas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com pacientes de aids do Estado de São Paulo, realizadas em dois momentos distintos da história da epidemia, 1999 e 2005, que abarcam situações vividas logo após a introdução do coquetel e, posteriormente, com mais tempo de experiência da enfermidade. Seis aspectos da experiência de viver com aids foram analisados: as relações interpessoais e afetivas; as relações ocupacionais; a relação com a biomedicina (anti-retrovirais, exames e médico-paciente); percepção corporal; representações do vírus, do tratamento e da doença; e o conhecimento acerca da doença. Concluiu-se que apesar da definição biomédica da aids como doença crônica, há importantes aspectos vividos pelos pacientes que reeditam dificuldades semelhantes ao início da epidemia, mesmo após anos de vivência com a doença. A vivência da enfermidade crônica é abordada e discutida sob a perspectiva de \"pacientes-sujeitos\", em contraposição à idéia do \"pacienteprofissional\". O maior conhecimento das características destes dois tempos - de aids aguda e de aids crônica - que convivem simultaneamente é de extrema relevância no tratamento dos pacientes crônicos e pode contribuir para pensarmos transformações em termos do cuidado que sejam sensíveis a esta realidade híbrida<br>The Brazilian government has been providing free and universal access to the HAART therapy for people living with HIV and AIDS for almost ten years. Since then, many epidemiological characteristics have changed, and AIDS became scientifically and medically known as a chronic disease. This qualitative study aims to comprehend the illness experience of people living with AIDS in this new context, and to discuss the challenges occurred during this period. With this purpose, it was held 32 semi-structured interviews with AIDS patients in Sao Paulo State, in 1999 and 2005. Six dimensions of the illness experience were distinguished: (1) interpersonal relationships; (2) occupation activities; (3) the relation with the biomedicine (through out the use of anti-retroviral, CD4 and viral load tests and doctor-patient relationship); (4) body perception; (5) virus and treatment representations and (6) knowledge about the disease. From de data analysis was concluded that even with the new achievements of AIDS becoming a chronic disease in biomedical terms, there are still important aspects lived by the patients that reedit similar fears and difficulties from the first periods of the epidemic. Improving knowledge about the coexistence of these two different times -the acute AIDS and the chronic AIDS- can contribute to think new alternatives of care concerning the services delivery for people living with HIV and AIDS

A dinâmica atual da epidemia da Aids atinge de forma diferenciada populações em seus "habitat", e caracteriza-se pelas tendências de "heterossexualização", 'feminização", "interiorização", "pauperização" e, mais recentemente, acometimento de faixa etária mais idosa, concentrando-se nas populações marginalizadas e vulneráveis. Foram georreferenciados os endereços dos indivíduos maiores de 13 anos notificados com Aids no município de Campinas, no período de 1980 a 2005. Utilizou-se o estimador de densidade de pontos kernel para investigar aglomeração de casos. Foram georreferenciados 4.175 casos de Aids, 90% do total notificado pelo Sistema de Vigilância Epidemiológica, segundo as variáveis sexo e faixa etária em diferentes períodos da epidemia. Os mapas indicam uma crescente dispersão dos casos para áreas urbanizadas da periferia da cidade no decorrer dos anos. A distribuição espacial dos casos de Aids em mulheres é diferente da observada entre os homens, evidenciando padrões distintos no tempo e espaço. Embora seja um estudo exploratório que não pondera as ocorrências pela população sob risco, a distribuição dos casos em maiores de 50 anos concentra-se em áreas centralizadas do mapa da cidade. A incorporação de técnicas de geoprocessamento e análise espacial pode contribuir com as ações de prevenção e controle da epidemia por parte do Programa Municipal de DST/Aids e Vigilância Epidemiológica do município de Campinas<br>Abstract: Understanding the different socio-economic, cultural, biological, and political dimensions of the HIV and Aids epidemic is still a large challenge for the Brazilian Health System after more than twenty years of the disease in the country and the world. The current dynamic of the Aids epidemic touches people in different ways in their "habitats", and is characterized by trends such as heterosexualization, feminization, interiorization, pauperization, and more recently has attacked a much older age band, concentrating in marginalized and vulnerable populations. Addresses were georeferenced for over >13-year-old individuals registered with Aids in Campinas municipal area between 1980 and 2005. A kernel density estimator for points was used to investigate case agglomeration. A total of 4175 Aids cases were georeferenced, 90% of the total notified by the Epidemiological Monitoring System, according to gender and age group in different periods of the epidemic. The maps indicated increasing case dispersion in urbanized peripheral areas of the city as the years elapsed. Spatial distribution of aids cases in women is different to men, showing distinct time and space profiles. Although this was an exploratory study which did not consider occurrences for the at risk population, the distribution of >50-year-old cases is concentrated in centralized areas of the city.

Este estudo, cujo título é Universo Feminino, Pobreza e Aids: um estudo sobre a vulnerabilidade para o HIV/aids em mulheres pobres usuárias do SUS em Teresina (Piauí) na contemporaneidade , objetivou investigar a influência das relações de gênero na adoção de práticas de sexo e/ou vulnerabilidade para o HIV/aids, por mulheres pobres usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde. Para tanto, foi utilizado como estratégia metodológica o estudo exploratório, descritivo, de natureza qualitativa, com recursos do tipo: pesquisa bibliográfica, observação participante e seu registro em diário de campo, entrevistas. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas semi-estruturado, o que possibilitou os sujeitos falar sobre os diferentes momentos de sua vida: experiências, impressões e expectativas na construção de seu novo mundo, após conhecimento da soropositividade para o HIV/aids. Tais dados foram agrupados por temas para análise posterior. Os sujeitos estudados foram mulheres que buscavam o serviço especializado para tratamento do HIV/aids da Secretaria Estadual da Saúde do Piauí, o Instituto de Doenças Tropicais Natan Portela IDTNP, pertencente à rede SUS, campo empírico do estudo. A amostra foi intencional e composta por dez mulheres, com até dois anos de diagnóstico confirmado da infecção pelo HIV ou aids e faixa etária entre 20 e 49 anos. Para análise dos dados foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo, apoiada nas contribuições do conceito de gênero no contexto do HIV/aids. O argumento central desenvolvido foi que, para as mulheres, a aids tem revelado que os laços conjugais, em sua maioria, são determinados por relações de força, de dominação, em que se incluem dependência, inferioridade e obediência. A pesquisa mostrou que o contágio deu-se em relações heterossexuais estáveis, espaço limitado para medidas preventivas no enfrentamento do HIV e regulado pela naturalização, no que diz respeito às relações de poder desiguais entre os gêneros

Foi adotado o referencial teórico da sociologia reflexiva de Bourdieu, apoiado na proposta de Pinell para a análise sociológica de políticas públicas. A análise do espaço aids foi feita por meio do estudo das trajetórias dos agentes envolvidos com a formulação e implementação da política brasileira e as relações entre esses agentes e o espaço da saúde coletiva, o movimento da reforma sanitária brasileira, o campo médico e o campo do poder. Além disso, foram analisadas as condições de possibilidade históricas que permitiram a formulação de uma política baseada na integralidade e na universalidade da atenção à saúde. Verificou-se que o espaço aids brasileiro constituiu-se historicamente como um espaço de luta pela organização da resposta à epidemia e de intervenção sanitária, onde o que está em disputa é a autoridade de falar sobre o significado da doença, suas formas de prevenção e tratamento. Sua conformação se deu com a emergência da resposta governamental no Estado de São Paulo, em 1983, envolvendo inicialmente agentes do campo médico, do espaço da saúde coletiva, do campo burocrático, do campo científico e do movimento homossexual, aos quais mais tarde juntaram-se outros movimentos em saúde e as ONGs/aids, conformando o subespaço militante. Trata-se de um espaço de complexas relações, influenciado pelos campos médico, político, religioso e jurídico. As primeiras associações específicas de luta contra a aids surgiram após a implantação da política governamental, com financiamento do Estado. As principais críticas de oposição à política residiam na ausência de resposta assistencial e na concepção das campanhas preventivas, essa última talvez a maior controvérsia ao interior do espaço aids. O fato de o campo médico ter sempre exercido papel dominante, bem como a conjuntura do movimento sanitário, a participação de epidemiologistas na gestão do Programa e a participação crítica da sociedade civil concorreram para a formulação de uma política avançada, que se contrapôs às recomendações das agências internacionais, de modo a garantir não apenas ações de caráter preventivo (priorizadas até o final da década de 80), mas também, o acesso ao tratamento. A partir de meados da década de 1990, o Programa Nacional passou a assumir um papel dominante no espaço aids, para o que foi fundamental o aporte financeiro garantido pelos acordos de empréstimo junto ao Banco Mundial e a decisão de garantir o tratamento aos portadores de HIV/aids, principal e mais conhecida estratégia da política nacional de luta contra a aids.<br>Salvador

Abstract:
Binaural hearing aids making use of a wireless link are becoming a trend in hearing-aids design. However, it is still not clear how much gain can be obtained in complex real-life acoustic environments when using binaural hearing aids compared to monaural ones, and whether binaural hearing aids are worth the additional effort and complexity. This thesis aims to provide some answers to this question. In particular, it will compare the performance of different microphone array configurations, study the effects of using different head models for fixed beamforming design, assess the effect of head model mismatch and direction of arrival information mismatch, investigate methods to preserve the binaural cues, evaluate combinations of fixed binaural beamforming followed by other noise reduction algorithms, and assess the performance of the different algorithms using both classical beamforming metrics and objective measures related to speech quality and intelligibility.

Abstract:
Resumo: Esta pesquisa, financiada pela bolsa de mestrado CAPES/REUNI, é um estudo sobre as relações entre mães e filhos quando há a transmissão vertical do vírus HIV. Em pesquisa anterior verificou-se que quando a mulher se descobre soropositiva ela busca a reconstrução de si, sobretudo a partir de um filho ou marido. É justamente a relação com esse filho, também portador do vírus, cuja contaminação ocorreu através da transmissão maternoinfantil, que exploramos agora. Entender o que houve para que essa transmissão não tenha sido evitada foi um dos objetivos principais desta pesquisa. Trabalhamos com estudo de casos, sendo assim, entrevistamos 5 mulheres soropositivas que tinham filhos (as) também soropositivos (as), sendo que 4 destas filhas também foram entrevistadas. Os locais onde encontramos essas pessoas, nas condições necessárias para a pesquisa, foram os ambulatórios de infectologia adultos e os grupos de adesão também dos adultos, ambos do Hospital de Clínicas de Curitiba. E para isso tivemos que passar pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em Seres Humanos do hospital, com o projeto aprovado em 27 de setembro de 2010, com registro no CEP número 2269.163/2010-07, de acordo com a Resolução 196/96 e suas complementares sobre Diretrizes e Normas Regulamentadoras de Pesquisa Envolvendo Seres Humanos do Ministério da Saúde.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, February 2005.<br>MIT Institute Archives Copy: p. 101-132 bound in reverse order.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 126-132).<br>The prevalence and affordability of personal and environmental recording apparatuses are leading to increased documentation of our daily lives. This trend is bound to continue and it follows that academic, industry, and government groups are showing an increased interest in such endeavors for various purposes. In the present case, I assert that such documentation can be used to help remedy common memory problems. Assuming a long-term personal archive exists, when confronted with a memory problem, one faces a new challenge, that of finding relevant memory triggers. This dissertation examines the use of information-retrieval technologies on long-term archives of personal experiences towards remedying certain types of long-term forgetting. The approach focuses on capturing audio for the content. Research on Spoken Document Retrieval examines the pitfalls of information-retrieval techniques on error-prone speech- recognizer-generated transcripts and these challenges carry over to the present task. However, "memory retrieval" can benefit from the person's familiarity of the recorded data and the context in which it was recorded to help guide their effort. To study this, I constructed memory-retrieval tools designed to leverage a person's familiarity of their past to optimize their search task. To evaluate the utility of these towards solving long-term memory problems, I (1) recorded public events and evaluated witnesses' memory-retrieval approaches using these tools; and (2) conducted a longer- term memory-retrieval study based on recordings of several years of my personal and research-related conversations. Subjects succeeded with memory-retrieval tasks in both studies, typically finding answers within minutes.<br>(cont.) This is far less time than the alternate of re-listening to hours of recordings. Subjects' memories of the past events, in particular their ability to narrow the window of time in which past events occurred, improved their ability to find answers. In addition to results from the memory-retrieval studies, I present a technique called "speed listening." By using a transcript (even one with many errors), it allows people to reduce listening time while maintaining comprehension. Finally, I report on my experiences recording events in my life over 2.5 years.<br>by Sunil Vemuri.<br>Ph.D.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaf 121).<br>Tunnels are subsurface passages which are often constructed without removing the overlying rock or soil. It follows that the lack of a priori knowledge of subsurface conditions poses major challenges in their preliminary design and planning. Considerable construction savings may be achieved through the proper collection and interpretation of information obtained through site exploration. However, exploration results are often not completely reliable and site exploration in itself involves a cost. Exploration planning is therefore a process of decision making under uncertainty. Einstein et al. (1978) provide a model that applies decision analysis to the tunnel exploration problem. This thesis first describes the model devised by Einstein et al. and provides numerical techniques for implementing it in a programming package. A package in Visual Basic for Applications is presented which implements the model for a generic tunnel. The thesis concludes by applying the devised package to the North Kenmore Tunnel (Washington State).<br>by Jad S. Karam.<br>S.M.

Abstract:
FundaÃÃo de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do PiauÃ<br>Em nossa investigaÃÃo, analisamos a proliferaÃÃo do vÃrus da imunodeficiÃncia humana â VIH sob a perspectiva do materialismo histÃrico-dialÃtico. A centralidade do texto à denunciar de forma engajada as contradiÃÃes do capitalismo contemporÃneo por intermÃdio da face pobre da AIDS/SIDA. O fio condutor de anÃlise se processa metodologicamente pela articulaÃÃo de fontes diversas (orais e escritas). Historicamente, o inicio da epidemia de AIDS no Brasil ocorreu ao longo da dÃcada de 1980, afetando inicialmente as classes sociais de maior escolaridade. Hoje, na terceira dÃcada de pandemia, os dados pesquisados claramente denunciam que o vÃrus dissemina-se de maneira crescente nas classes sociais de menor escolaridade, ou seja, a AIDS afeta especificamente a classe pobre. No contexto de mercantilizaÃÃo da saÃde, as estimativas indicam que, hegemonicamente, mais de 90% dos casos da pandemia de AIDS se concentram em alguns paÃses de economias perifÃricas da Ãfrica e AmÃrica Latina. Na realidade histÃrico-educativa brasileira, os dados apontam que cerca de 50% da populaÃÃo sorologicamente positiva para o HIV à pobre e com baixÃssimo nÃvel de escolaridade. O adoecimento, nesse sentido, reproduz as contradiÃÃes de classe da sociabilidade do Capital. Atrelado a este processo, analisa-se tambÃm o advento de um engajamento polÃtico caracterizado como ativismo de luta contra a AIDS, particularmente, o Movimento Social denominado de Rede Nacional de Pessoas Vivendo com HIV/AIDS (RNP+Brasil). Organizado na dÃcada de 1990, o associativismo deflagrado por este novo movimento social diz respeito ao processo histÃrico de tomada de consciÃncia polÃtica e de mobilizaÃÃo por melhores condiÃÃes de saÃde para vidas em experiÃncias corporais de adoecimento. à preciso salientar, entretanto, o limite dessa aÃÃo polÃtica reformista de luta por cidadania e direitos humanos e nÃo de ruptura anticapitalista com o Estado DemocrÃtico de Direito BurguÃs.<br>In our research, we analyzed the proliferation of human immunodeficiency virus - HIV from the perspective of historical and dialectical materialism. The centrality of the text is an engaging way to expose the contradictions of contemporary capitalism through the poor face of AIDS. The common thread of analysis proceeds methodically through the articulation of different sources (oral and written). Historically, the onset of AIDS in Brazil occurred during the 1980s, initially affecting the social classes in higher education. Today, in the third decade of the pandemic, the research data clearly denounce the virus spreads so increasing social class with lower education, or AIDS specifically affects the poor. In the context of commercialization of health, estimates indicate that hegemonic, over 90% of cases of the AIDS pandemic is concentrated in certain countries of peripheral economies in Africa and Latin America. In fact, Brazilian educational history, the data show that about 50% of the serologically positive for HIV are poor and with very low educational level. The disease in this way reproduces the class contradictions of the sociability of the Capital. Coupled to this process, we analyze also the advent of political engagement characterized as activism to combat AIDS, particularly the Social Movement called the National Network of People Living with HIV / AIDS (RNP + Brazil). Organized in the 1990s, the associations triggered by this new social movement concerns the historical process of political awareness and mobilization for better health conditions for lives in bodily experiences of illness. It should be noted, however, the limit of political action reformist struggle for civil and human rights and not to break with the anti-capitalist democratic state Bourgeois.

Esta tese teve como propósito analisar os dados de mortalidade por aids no Brasil, por meio de diferentes metodologias com vistas a ampliar e aperfeiçoar o conhecimento sobre mortalidade relativa à doença no País. Objetivos. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram conduzidas três pesquisas para (i) estudar a causa básica dos óbitos e investigar os fatores associados à seleção dessa causa básica; (ii) estudar a tendência de causas múltiplas não relacionadas ao HIV/aids; e (iii) quantificar os óbitos por aids subenumerados no Brasil. Métodos. Analisaram-se os dados dos óbitos ocorridos no Brasil e notificados ao Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. No primeiro estudo, avaliaram-se os óbitos que continham menção ao HIV/aids para verificar a evolução temporal da seleção da causa básica e investigar os fatores associados à seleção da causa básica por meio de modelo de regressão logística. No segundo estudo, utilizaram-se as razões de chance de mortalidade padronizadas, ajustadas por regressão logística, para comparar a mortalidade entre o grupo de adultos que continha menção ao HIV/aids na declaração de óbito e o grupo que não a continha. No terceiro estudo, foram calculados os coeficientes de mortalidade por doenças indicativas de HIV/aids por faixa etária, sexo e ano. Alterações nestes coeficientes de mortalidade ao longo do tempo foram utilizadas para identificar as condições que poderiam ter sido utilizadas como causa básica de óbitos por HIV/aids. O excesso de mortalidade encontrado dentre estas causas foi reclassificado como óbito por HIV/aids. Os óbitos por causas mal definidas foram redistribuídos proporcionalmente entre todas as causas naturais de óbito e foi adicionado um ajuste por incompletude do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. Resultados. O primeiro estudo indicou que houve aumento do percentual de óbitos cuja causa básica não era relacionada ao HIV/aids entre pessoas que viviam com HIV/aids. Ademais, pessoas com maior escolaridade, que residem na Região Sudeste, com menos de 13 anos ou mais de 60, apresentaram mais chance de terem como causa básica de óbito agravos não relacionados ao HIV/aids. O segundo estudo demonstrou que causas não associadas ao HIV/aids apresentaram crescimento significativamente maior no grupo HIV quando comparado ao não-HIV. O terceiro estudo indicou 27% de subenumeração de óbitos por aids no Brasil de 1985 a 2009. Conclusão. Esta tese demonstrou que a mortalidade por aids no Brasil está subestimada, seja pela ausência de menção ao HIV/aids na declaração de óbito, seja pelo fato de pessoas que vivem com HIV/aids estarem indo a óbito cada vez com maior frequência por causas não usualmente associadas ao HIV/aids. Esta tese indicou a necessidade de (i) empregar esforços para reduzir a subcodificação de causas de óbito e de (ii) iniciar reflexão sobre as relações causais entre o HIV/aids e as doenças crônicas não usualmente associadas ao HIV/aids na era pós-TARV, para que as regras de seleção da causa básica de óbito possam ser atualizadas. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT<br>Intoduction. This thesis analized AIDS mortality data in Brazil, using different methods, with the purpose of enhance and improve the existing knowledge on mortality related to this disease in the country. Objective. In order to achieve this goal, three studies were conducted to (i) investigate the underlying cause of deaths and the factors associated with the selection of the underlying cause of death; (ii) study the trend of multiple causes of death that are not related to HIV/AIDS; and (iii) quantify the misclassified and under- reported AIDS deaths in Brazil. Methods. Information on the deaths that occurred in Brazil and were reported to the Mortality Information System was analised. In the first study we selected the deaths that contained mention to HIV/AIDS in any field of the death certificate. We analyzed the temporal evolution of the underlying cause of death and verified by means of logistic regression which factors were associated with the selection of the underlying cause of death. In the second study we used the standardized mortality odds ratios, adjusted by logistic regression, to compare mortality by non-related HIV/AIDS causes between the group of adults that contained mention of HIV/AIDS in the death certificate and the group that did not. In the third study, we calculated the death rates for diseases indicative of HIV/AIDS by age, sex and year. Changes in these death rates over time were used to identify conditions that could have been used as underlying cause of deaths in deaths due to HIV/AIDS. The excess mortality found among these causes was reclassified as HIV/AIDS deaths. The deaths from ill- defined causes were redistributed proportionally among all natural causes of death. We added an adjustment for incompleteness to the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS. Results. The first study showed that the percentage of deaths which the underlying cause of death is not related to HIV/AIDS among people who lived with HIV/AIDS increased and that people with higher education, who live in the Southeast, which are less than 13 years or over 60 have more chance of having diseases unrelated to HIV/AIDS as underlying cause of death. The second study showed that causes not associated with HIV/aids showed significantly higher growth in the HIV group compared to the non-HIV group. Finally, the third study demonstrated that the number of HIV/AIDS deaths that occurred in Brazil from 1985 to 2009 is underestimated by 27%. Conclusion. This thesis has shown that AIDS mortality in Brazil is under- estimated. It may be due to the lack of mention to HIV/AIDS in the death certificate or due to the fact that people living with HIV/AIDS are dying by causes not usually associated with HIV/AIDS. This thesis indicated the need (i) to employ efforts to reduce mis-classifications of causes of death and (ii) to reflect on the causal relationship between HIV/AIDS and diseases not usually associated with HIV/AIDS in the post-HAART era, so the rules for selecting the underlying cause of death can be updated.

Abstract:
Dificuldades na prevenção do HIV/AIDS em relacionamentos heterossexuais estáveis recomendam estudos deslocando o foco do individual para o interacional. Entrevistou-se 15 casais heterossexuais, que realizaram conjuntamente testagem voluntária em serviço de saúde pública. Foram realizados dois estudos: o Estudo 1 explora aspectos da motivação para a realização da testagem sorológica, conhecimentos sobre HIV/AIDS e susceptibilidade percebida; o Estudo 2 descreve e analisa práticas preventivas adotadas nos períodos anterior e posterior à testagem para HIV. Os dados foram analisados através de procedimentos qualitativo-fenomenológicos: descrição qualitativa, análise indutiva ou temática e análise crítica ou interpretação. Os resultados indicam que padrões relacionais entre gêneros e dificuldade na relação conjugal influenciam a vivência da suscetibilidade de infecção e a adoção de práticas preventivas. Os riscos de infecção são negados ou desvalorizados, mesmo em casais sorodiscordantes, por dificuldades com o tema sexualidade e por padrões de comportamento de gênero: homens expõem-se a risco para afirmar sua masculinidade; mulheres para manter relacionamentos afetivos. Implicações para prevenção são discutidas, destacando a importância do desenvolvimento de intervenções com ambos os cônjuges que levem em conta dinâmicas dos relacionamentos e formas de comunicação necessárias para construção e manutenção de comportamentos preventivos.
