Abstract:
Abstract Background Globally, HBV is the most common blood-borne infection. An estimated 1.2 million people in the US and 350 million worldwide lived with HBV, a primary driver of liver cancer. It is endemic in many parts of the world and is a major health disparity in immigrant communities, including the US, which has the largest immigrant population in the world. Asian American Pacific Islanders are 5% of the total population in the US, but represent 50% of people living with HBV. In 2016, WHO set a goal of hepatitis elimination by 2030 but with only 10% of those living with HBV diagnosed, screening must be scaled up. Methods Modifications were made in the electronic medical record (EMR) to automate screening, with HBV (HBsAg) orders triggered by a patient’s country of birth or race. The began in the Emergency Department and later expanded to the Inpatient setting. Automated notifications are sent to nurse for eligible patients and then to the patient navigator (PN) for positive tests. The PN contacts the patient to provide education and arrange linkage-to-care (LTC) for evaluation and care. Results From Mar 2018 to Mar 2021, we conducted 23,883 HBV screenings. The patients originated from 173 countries based on registration; top 5 countries of origin were Haiti, Jamaica, Ecuador, Guyana, and Portugal. We found 228 (1.0%) patients with HBV infection, 101 (47%) were newly diagnosed and 182 (85%) were linked to care. We examined race and insurance status for any association with those previously tested versus newly diagnosed. Blacks were more likely to be newly identified HBV versus Asians (61.6% vs. 28.9%, p< .001), as were self-pay (uninsured) versus insured patients (66.7% vs 47.2%, p=0.043). Compared to the approximately 0.4% HBV prevalence in the US, the HBV prevalence in several towns around our hospital in Essex County is two to four times higher. Table 1. The HBV Prevalence in Towns of Essex County Conclusion Our community is diverse and social determinants of health, like race and insurance status, may contribute to provider behaviors of HBV screening with blacks receiving less screening than Asians. Automated testing programs can address health disparities and scale up screening. Such micro-elimination approaches are important for achieving global hepatitis elimination by 2030.

Abstract:
We conducted a study of black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) growth rates using data from a long-term mark-recapture study carried out in the Rupununi region of Guyana between 2005 and 2015. In contrast to previous studies, growth rates of black caiman declined with increasing size and this decline occurred more rapidly for females. Size-at-age models predicted that males and females reach asymptotic sizes of 178.2-189.0 cm SVL and 140.1-143.4 cm SVL, respectively. Our results suggest that growth rates of black caiman in the Rupununi region follow the same general patterns as for other crocodilians, and that disparities with previous black caiman studies may be largely related to density-dependent factors, among other possibilities. However, future studies that include large black caiman of known ages are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract:
Anomaloglossus praderioi was originally described as Colostethus praderioi by E. La Marca in 1998 on the basis of two male specimens. The present paper provides a redescription of the species on the basis of new material from Maringma Tepui in Guyana and an additional specimen from Sierra de Lema in Venezuela. The redescription includes descriptions of the tadpole and vocalisation. Anomaloglossus praderioi is a medium-sized species mainly distinguished from its known congeners in having Fingers I, II and IV equal in length, the tip of Finger IV barely reaching the base of the distal subarticular tubercle on Finger III when fingers are adpressed, Fingers II and III with preaxial keel-like lateral folds, toes basally webbed with folded flaplike fringing except on Toes IV-V, symmetrical cloacal tubercles present, thin pale dorsolateral stripe present from tip of snout to tip of urostyle, ventrolateral stripe inconspicuous, never straight, oblique lateral stripe absent, throat in male grey to very dark grey, almost solid black, with black blotches, throat in female bright orange, almost immaculate. The tadpole is dark brown to black, exotrophic, benthic, LTRF 2(2)/3. The advertisement call consists of long trains of a single note repeated at a rate of 61-76 notes/min with a dominant frequency ranging from 3,562 to 3,856 Hz. The species is reported from eastern Venezuela and western Guyana and inhabits montane medium-canopy forest at elevations between 1,310-1,950 m above sea level.

Abstract:
Contexte et objectif : La Guyane Française, département-région d’outre-mer, compte près de 8 000 naissances par année.Depuis 1992, la proportion de naissances prématurées y est importante aux alentours de 13,5% ; soit presque le double de celle de la France (7%). Contrairement à la plupart des pays où une augmentation de la prématurité est observée, en Guyane, son taux est stable. Certes, on pourrait se satisfaire de cette non-augmentation, cependant, les décès liés à la périnatalité restent l’une des principales causes de mortalité prématurée dans ce département. Si en Guyane, le taux de prématurité n’augmente pas, il ne régresse pas non plus. Devant cette absence de régression, il semble important de comprendre les facteurs qui font qu’en Guyane, la prématurité reste si fréquente et si difficile à endiguer. Méthodologie : Ce travail de recherche se décline en quatre axes d'investigations : Une étude rétrospective descriptive, à partir des données du RIGI (Registre d’Issue de Grossesses Informatisé) 2013-2014 de 12 983 naissances viables du département. L’élaboration d’un score prédictif de prématurité à partir du RIGI 2013-2014, confronté aux données du RIGI 2015 de 6 914 naissances viables. Une étude étiologique cas-témoins de la grande prématurité, monocentrique, de Février 2016 à Janvier 2017 dans l’unique établissement de santé de type III de la Région. Enfin, l’analyse du terme moyen à la naissance et de la morbi-mortalité à partir du RIG (Registre d’Issue de Grossesses) 2002-2007 de 35 648 naissances viables et du RIGI 2013-2014. Résultats :Sur la période d’étude, la proportion de naissances prématurées était de 13,5% (1 755/12 983). La proportion de prématurité spontanée et induite était respectivement de 51,3% et 48,7% selon le RIGI 2013-2014.Plus de la moitié (57,2%) de la population d’étude bénéficiait de la sécurité sociale, néanmoins 9,3% (1 211/12 983) n’avait aucune couverture sociale. L’absence de couverture sociale représentait un facteur de risque de prématurité avec un OR ajusté de 1,9 IC à 95% [1,6-2,3] p=0,0001. De même, l’absence d’entretien prénatal tout comme celui de préparation à la naissance multiplieraient par deux le risque de naissance prématurée. D’autre part, le syndrome pré-éclamptique était la principale dysgravidie associée au risque de prématurité (OR ajusté de 6,7 [IC 95% =5,6-8,1] p=0,001). Enfin, l’hypothèse assez répandue, suggérant qu’une partie du taux de prématurité élevée serait liée du fait que les bébés « noirs » seraient plus matures et que les mères « noires » d’ascendance afro-caraibéenne accoucheraient physiologiquement plus tôt, ne ressortait pas dans nos analyses. En effet, il n’y avait pas de différence statistiquement significative de morbi-mortalité pour les nouveau-nés de mères d’origine afro-caribéennes et ceux de femmes caucasiennes.Conclusion : Les travaux réalisés ont retrouvé nombre de facteurs associés à la prématurité, pour certains déjà décrits par ailleurs. Bien qu’à l’échelle individuelle, il était impossible de prédire qui accoucherait prématurément, le poids des facteurs sociaux et du mauvais suivi de grossesse, suggéraient qu’une approche populationnelle pourrait être pertinente. Ainsi les femmes les plus vulnérables résidaient souvent dans des zones bien identifiées qui pourraient faire l’objet d’actions ciblées pour améliorer le suivi et dépister les complications. Cette problématique d’inégalités sociales de santé va bien au-delà de la prématurité et se retrouve pour presque toutes les pathologies, ce qui suggère qu’il y a des synergies à rechercher et que l’échelle populationnelle est sans doute stratégique. Le poids du syndrome pré-éclamptique comme facteur de risque de prématurité induite en Guyane pose question, il semble nettement plus important qu’ailleurs pour des raisons qui restent à élucider
Context and objective: French Guiana, an overseas department and region, has nearly 8,000 births per year.Since 1992, the proportion of premature births, although stable, has remained high at around 13.5%, almost double that of France (7%) (data from the Pregnancy Outcome Register and national perinatal survey). While in most countries we see an increase in prematurity, we could, wrongly, be satisfied with a non-increase in the prematurity rate that would reflect progress. However, deaths from perinatal causes remain one of the main causes of premature mortality in French Guiana and partly explain the gap with France in terms of life expectancy at birth.Given this lack of improvement in the prematurity rate, it seems important to better understand the factors that make prematurity so frequent and so difficult to control in French Guiana. The thesis focused on identifying the predictive factors of prematurity with the ultimate aim of contributing to improving the care of pregnant women and curbing the curve of the prematurity rate. Methodology: This research work is divided into 4 areas of investigation:- A descriptive retrospective study, based on data from the RIGI (Register of Computerized Pregnancy Outcomes) 2013-2014 of 12,983 viable births in the department,- The development of a predictive prematurity score from the 2013-2014 RIGI, compared to the 2015 RIGI data of 6,914 viable births,- A case-control etiological study of extreme prematurity, monocentric, from February 2016 to January 2017 in the only type III health-care institution in the French Guiana Region,- Analysis of the average term at birth and morbidity and mortality from the RIG (Register of Pregnancy Outcomes) 2002-2007 of 35,648 viable births and the RIGI 2013-2014.Results:Over the study period, the proportion of preterm births was 13.5% (1,755/12,983). The proportion of spontaneous prematurity was 51.3% , compared to 48.7% of induced prematurity. More than half (57.2% or 7 421/12 983) of the study population had social security, but 9.3% had no social security coverage. The lack of social security coverage was a risk factor for prematurity with an adjusted OR of 1.9 CI at 95% [1.6-2.3] p=0.0001. Similarly, with regard to pregnancy management, the absence of prenatal care as well as that of birth preparation would double the risk of premature birth. For pathologies associated with pregnancy, pre-eclampsia syndrome was the main dysgravidia associated with the risk of prematurity (OR adjusted by 6.7[95% CI =5.6-8.1] p=0.0001). Finally, the fairly common hypothesis that part of the high prematurity rate is related to the fact that black babies are more mature and black mothers give birth physiologically a little earlier did not emerge in our analyses. Indeed, there was no statistically significant difference in morbidity and mortality for infants born to Afro-Caribbean mothers and Caucasian women. Conclusion: The work carried out has identified many factors associated with prematurity, factors already described elsewhere. Although at the individual level it was impossible to predict who would give birth prematurely, the weight of social factors and poor follow-up suggested that a population-based approach might be appropriate. Thus, the most vulnerable women often reside in well-identified areas that could be the subject of targeted actions to improve follow-up and identify complications. This problem of social inequalities in health goes well beyond prematurity and is found for almost all pathologies, suggesting that there are synergies to be sought and that the population scale is undoubtedly strategic. The weight of preeclampsia as a risk factor for induced prematurity in French Guiana raises questions: indeed, it seems much more important than elsewhere for reasons that remain to be clarified

Abstract:
In an attempt to close the gaps between diaspora and regional studies an Afro-Asian comparative perspective on African and Indian identity will be explored in the countries of Guyana and South Africa. The overlying aim of the ethnographic research will be to see whether blackness can be used as a unifier to those belonging to enslaved and indentured diasporas. Comparisons will be made between the two race models of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean worlds. A substantial portion will be set aside for a critique of the concept of Coolitude including commentary on V.S. Naipaul. Further, mixing, creolization, spirituality and the cultural politics of Black Consciousness, multiculturalism, and dreadlocks will be exemplified as AfroAsian encounters.

Abstract:
During the past four decades researchers note that educational institutions fail to “connect” with minority students (e.g. Clark, 1983; Coelho, 1998; Dei, 1994; Duffy, 2003; Ogbu, 1978, 1991). Carr and Klassen (1996) define this lack of “connection” primarily as teachers’ disregard for each student’s culture as it relates to race, and thus, his or her achievement potential. Hence, this disregard encourages minority students to question their ability to be successful. Dei (1994), furthermore, shows a tremendous disconnectedness from schools and education systems being felt by Black students. Few studies give voice to specific groups of Black female high school graduates who opt out of pursuing higher education. I interviewed four Black Guyanese immigrant women to: (a) investigate their reasons and expectations when immigrating to Canada, (b) identify what influenced their decision not to pursue postsecondary education, (c) explore their definitions of success, and (d) investigate how/if their notions of success relate to obtaining postsecondary education in Canada. Critical Race Theory (CRT) was employed in this study to: (a) provide a better understanding of the participants’ classroom dynamics governed by relationships with their teachers, guidance counsellors and school administrators, (b) examine educational outcomes governed by personal and educational relationships and experiences, and (c) provide conceptual tools in the investigation of colour-blindness (Parker & Roberts, 2005) that is disguised in Canadian education, immigration, and other government policies. To support my investigation, I used CRT to guide the research design, modes of documentation, and the process of analysis. It is hoped that my findings and analysis enriches the academy and society by communicating why there is a scarcity of Black Guyanese immigrant women in Canadian postsecondary institutions, making recommendations, to increase their participation in higher education. This study communicates the experiences of four Black Guyanese immigrant women in Canada. It does not intend to make generalizations about the experiences of all Black Guyanese immigrant women in Canada.

Abstract:
Mutual aid and coming together has been a way of life for the African diaspora since enslavement and the legacy of it that continues in everyday life. The Black diaspora, and especially Black women, contend with vile forms of racism and exclusion in business and society, but this is not what defines Blacks in the Americas. This chapter focuses on Caribbean women who organize rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), which are cooperative banking systems embedded in social relationships. This work draws on J. K. Gibson-Graham’s community economies theory, as well as Caribbean and Black liberation theories, to understand the business exclusion of Black women. The empirical interviews with hundreds of Black Caribbean women in Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Haiti show the purposeful way in which they organize ROSCAs to be considerate of people’s social lives in relation to their business needs. These women, in choosing cooperation, are quietly resisting commercial and individualized forms of banking. In this chapter, the author argues that Caribbean women organize Susu, Sol, Partner, and Boxhand, all names for ROSCAs, use banking cooperatives alongside conventional banks as a way to quietly push against commercial and elitist financial institutions.

Abstract:
In Nigeria and Uganda during 1950s and 60s, the little magazine was being nurtured by postcolonial nations looking to produce a literature that was regional, national, and global. By importing the foreign form of the little magazine, a diasporic network was created linking newly independent African nations with cities in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and the West Indies. Black Orpheus (Nigeria), Transition (Uganda), Bim (Barbados), Kyk-Over-al (Guyana), and The Beacon (Trinidad), accommodated a black internationalism that challenged the hegemony of a globalized book business (anchored in London and New York) actively repackaging “African writers” for a Western audience.

Abstract:
Abstract An attempt was made to independently verify the proposed performance of the Liza 1 field using only data available in the public domain. The data used in modelling was sourced from news reports, company disclosures and the analogue Jubilee field in Ghana. Reservoir rock and fluid data from Jubilee Field was deemed an appropriate fit because of the corroboration provided by the Atlantic Drift Theory. A major challenge in creating the model, was determining the aerial extent of the field. According to Yang and Escalona (2011), the subsurface can be reasonably approximated using the surface topography which is possible via the use of GIS software. Google Earth Pro software was used to estimate the coordinates and areal extent of the Liza 1 reservoir. A scaled image of the field location showing the Guyana coastline was re-sized to fit the coastline in Google Pro and then the coordinates for the Liza field and wildcat well locations were estimated. This was used to create the isopach map and set reservoir boundaries to create the static and dynamic models in Schlumberger's Petrel E & P Software Platform (2017) and Computer Modelling Group IMEX Black Oil and Unconventional Simulator CMG IMEX (2016). The initialized model investigated the reservoir performance with and without pressure maintenance over a twenty (20) year period. The original oil in place (OOIP) estimated by the model was 7% larger than the OOIP estimated by ExxonMobil for Liza field. The model produced 35% of the OOIP compared to 50% of OOIP as forecasted by the operators. (See Table 1). The factors that strongly influenced this outcome were, the well positioning and the water injection rates. A significant percentage of the oil remained unproduced in the lower layers of the model after the 20-year period. Time did not permit further modelling to improve the performance of the model.

Abstract:
Friction dampers are commonly used in jet and turboprop engines to decrease vibration stresses of turbine blades by irreversible conversion of mechanical energy into heat. Effectiveness of the energy transfer depends on dampers design, material and operational conditions. Optimization of dampers design is a complex task usually associated with nonlinear contact problems analysis and complicated experimental verification. It also coupled with high time costs causing the engineering task to be modified into compound research problem. The paper presents time effective numerical technique for gas turbine blades underplatform dry-friction dampers efficiency study. The presented technique is based on finite-element method with a numerical model reduction by Craig-Bampton and Guyan algorithms. The model consisted of dummy blades pair with wedge damper between the platforms. Technique allows considering three dimensional shapes of parts, nonlinear contact forces, friction, various operational loads and conditions. The model was verified by experiment completed on special test rig based on vibration shaker and 3D laser vibrometer. Relationship between the blades oscillation amplitude and the centrifugal load on the damper was obtained. Optimal operational range with maximum damper efficiency was defined. Impact of so called anti-phase and in-phase modes of adjacent blades on damper efficiency was investigated.
