Full textAbstract:
Parmi les nombreux problèmes identifiés localement par les habitants et habitantes de l’archipel de Palau en Micronésie, les mauvaises pratiques alimentaires, qui entraînent et incarnent aussi bien des taux records de maladies chroniques (diabète, obésité, hypertension) qu’une « perte de culture » ou un sentiment « d’insécurité alimentaire », sont des enjeux reconnus comme fondamentaux. Un tel contexte favorise la prolifération de modèles et conceptions de ce qu’est une « bonne vie » dans l’archipel de Palau. Plus encore que les aliments qui en sont issus, les tarodières, lieux de production du taro (Colocasia esculenta, Cyrtosperma merkusii), sont présentées localement comme apportant un ensemble de réponses (sanitaires, culturelles, environnementales, économiques) et de fondements à de telles problématiques et représentations. A travers une description des processus de qualification des taros, qui commencent dans les tarodières, se prolongent dans les cuisines puis dans les corps humains en passant par les circuits de distribution locaux, nous souhaitons mettre en avant les manières dont les pratiques alimentaires participent à structurer des formes de vie, faisant appel à de multiples conceptions du « bien manger », qui se complètent, s'opposent ou s'articulent. La thèse pose alors la question de la continuité des pratiques techniques horticoles avec les processus d'incorporation, en passant par les activités culinaires, à travers une approche centrée sur les qualités, aussi bien des corps que des environnements ou des aliments. Cette thèse cherche donc à explorer comment les processus de production de « bons aliments » sont aussi des processus de structuration de « vies bonnes ». Il s’agit de proposer une réflexion sur la manière dont les pratiques techniques, agissant sur la matière et possédant un but de transformation physique des choses, sont aussi des façons d’orienter des formes de vie. Ce travail s’inspire ainsi de recherches récentes en anthropologie des techniques, qui mettent l’accent sur la nature ontogénétique des phénomènes techniques, à savoir le fait qu’en plus de produire des objets, ces derniers produisent aussi des personnes, acteurs et relations particulières (Sautchuk 2019, Coupaye 2013, 2018). A plusieurs égards, ce travail s’inscrit également dans une anthropologie de la vie, qui s’intéresse à la manière dont s’articulent des formes vivantes avec des formes de vie (Pitrou 2017)<br>Among the many issues that the inhabitants of the Palau archipelago in Micronesia identify as urgent, food and foodways are central. They are locally seen as causing record-high rates of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension, as well as being characterized as responsible for a “loss of culture” or feelings of food insecurity. Such a context favors the emergence of many ideas regarding what is a “good life” in Palau. Even more than the tubers produced inside of them, Palau’s taro patches, places where the local staple food (Colocasia esculenta, Cyrtosperma merkusii) is grown, are framed as key sites in order to ground practices of “the good life” and as carrying many answers to the pressing issues regarding cultural and social transitions, climate change, economical and especially medical problems.Through the description of taro’s qualification processes, starting in the taro patch and continuing into kitchens, markets and mouths, we wish to shed light on the many ways that food related practices are thought to structure local forms of life, informed by multiple and sometimes conflicting ideas regarding what “eating well” means locally. This dissertation then asks how horticultural technical practices can be regarded as part of a contiguous sequence including cooking practices as well as food incorporation, by focusing on qualities located in bodies as well as foods or environments. This dissertation wishes then to explore how the production processes leading to “good food” are also producing “good lives”. We wish to introduce thoughts about how concrete and material technical acts can also be ways to shape and structure forms of life. This work is influenced by recent developments in the anthropology of technique, notably works that insist on the ontogenetical nature of technical phenomenon, meaning that as much as a technical action produces and transform matter, it also produces people, personhood and relations (Sautchuk 2019, Coupaye 2013, 2018). In many ways this dissertation is part of a recent anthropology of life who is interested in the articulation of lifeforms and forms of life (Pitrou 2017)

Full textAbstract:
A plethora of cross-cultural research studies has been conducted and published on the conflict or collision between western models of education and indigenous knowledge and learning. Following on the visions of these studies, the research reported in this thesis explores how these tensions between differing bodies of knowledge impact youth identity in non-western societies. More specifically, the study examines the case of how western models of education impacts the Palauan traditional educational models and whether or not the privileging of western systems of learning over Palauan systems does in fact have a negative impact on the development of identity, well-being, and empowerment of Palauan youth today.
Theoretical approaches in this study derived from the knowledge of Palauan elders and scholars as well as literature works of Freire, who argues for transformative education as a means of empowering people, and Lave and Wenger‟s theory of legitimate peripheral learning.
Methodological approaches include narratives and a Palauan dialogic approach using questionnaires, unstructured and semi-structured interviews. Data were collected from June to September 2009 in Palau. Selected participants were the youth of Ulimang village in Ngaraard and a particular group of Palauan elders and scholars that are involved in Palauan education, knowledge, and research. Data were analyzed in two stages: a questionnaire for Ulimang youth and interviews for the Palauan elders. A range of concepts addressed in the analysis, such as cheldecheduch and relationships, strengthened the belief that Palauan knowledge was important in the lives of the Ulimang youth. The need to maintain Palauan knowledge to empower Palauan identities and to support the quality of life for Palauans was articulated by the Palauan elders. The importance of Palauan knowledge and values was stressed from the participants and emphasized how it informs identity development in Palau.

Full textAbstract:
Trabalho apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas.<br>O ginseng (Panax ginseng) é uma espécie botânica utilizada há milhares de anos pela Medicina tradicional chinesa para aumentar a longevidade e melhorar a qualidade de vida. A planta medicinal (fármaco) é constituída pelas raízes secas (inteiras ou fragmentadas) de plantas com 4 a 6 anos de idade, quando o seu teor global de ginsenósidos (saponósidos triterpénicos tetracíclicos poli-hidroxilados) - a principal classe de compostos bioactivos do ginseng - atinge a concentração máxima.
Estudos científicos parecem indicar que o ginseng aumenta a capacidade de resistência às doenças, à fadiga e ao stress. Estão ainda descritas as suas actividades antiviral, antiagregante e antioxidante e de tónico cardíaco.
As acções manifestadas por esta planta medicinal originaram a criação de um novo grupo de fármacos denominados de adaptogénios. Estes produtos são caracterizados por serem capazes de normalizar lentamente o organismo, quando este se encontra sob stress ou com as resistências naturais diminuídas por infecções, ou mesmo quando haja perda de vitalidade física e intelectual por efeito do envelhecimento. Contudo, é de referir que o uso continuado deste fármaco pode originar a “síndrome de abuso do ginseng”, com efeitos idênticos aos causados pelo emprego de corticosteróides tais como nervosismo, insónia, hipertensão arterial, urticária e diarreia matinal.
Este trabalho pretende rever a literatura científica disponível no que concerne aos estudos científicos já realizados ao ginseng, em particular os relacionados com os seus ginsenósidos e respectivas actividades biológicas. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a botanical species used for thousands of years by traditional Chinese medicine to increase longevity and improve life quality. The medicinal plant (drug) is constituted by the dry roots (whole or in fragments) from 4 to 6 years old plants. At that age, their overall content of ginsenosides (polyhydroxylated tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins) - the main class of bioactive compounds in ginseng - reaches its maximum.
Scientific studies seem to indicate that ginseng increases the resilience to disease, fatigue and stress. Other activities reported are antiviral, antiaggregant, antioxidant and cardiotonic.
The actions expressed by this medicinal plant originated the creation of a new group of drugs named adaptogens. These drugs can slowly rebalance the human body when stressed or with a diminished resistance due to infections. They can also be used when physical or intellectual vitality is somewhat decreased due to aging. However, the prolonged use of this drug can lead to “ginseng abuse syndrome”, causing identical effects to those observed with the use of corticosteroids including nervousness, insomnia, hypertension, skin eruptions and morning diarrhea.
This paper aims to review the available scientific literature regarding the studies already conducted with ginseng, especially ones associated to its ginsenosides and their corresponding biological activities.

Full textAbstract:
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has long been used in the Far East to aid in the recovery and prevention of illness. Ginseng, an over-the-counter herbal product in the UK, is amongst these herbal CAMs currently available to the general public. Ginseng is renowned for its rejuvenating properties and its purported ability to aid cognitive function and well-being. Despite the huge global market for ginseng there is little in the way of human research, utilising standardised ginseng extracts and well controlled methodology to support many of these claims. Additionally, ginseng's underlying mechanisms of action are poorly understood. The present thesis documents 5 double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trials investigating the effects of Panax ginseng, following acute and chronic ingestion, on behaviour, mood and indices of glucose regulation in young healthy volunteers. The results of the five studies making this thesis suggest that both acute and chronic dosing with Panax ginseng is capable of modulating mood and cognitive performance in healthy young volunteers. Chapters 2 and 3 also demonstrate, for the first time, Panax ginseng's ability to modulate blood glucose levels following a single acute dose in overnight fasted healthy volunteers. In chapters 2 and 3, significant reductions in blood glucose levels and concomitant improvements in mental arithmetic (working memory) performance were reported. Chapter 4 revealed for the first time Panax ginseng's positive effects on traditional measures of working memory, thus posing the suggestion that previous failures to report working memory effects (using traditional working memory tasks) may have been due to poor task selection. Chapter 5 revealed an unexpected superimposed relationship between chronic and acute ingestion of Panax ginseng. The pattern of results suggests that following chronic dosing, an acute dose can further modulate cognition and mood (suggestive of a psychological dependence). The final chapter documents a different profile of cognitive and mood effects following a non-standardised Panax ginseng extract, thus highlighting the need for caution when generalising results across ginseng types and beyond the specific parameters of the methodologies utilised in any given study. Methodological differences between studies may go some way in explaining the inconsistent data patterns reported between studies, research groups and ginseng extracts. These data further highlight the need for well-controlled studies utilising standardised ginseng extracts and the need for the integration of 'theory driven' research in order to fractionate any behavioural effect. Such methodologies will inevitably lead to greater consistency between behavioural studies, at least in the first instance within the restricted population of volunteers utilised in the present thesis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines pond aquaculture as a development strategy in the Philippines, with particular reference to its impact on the local environment and the livelihoods of local people.<br>A theoretical framework is provided by recent literature in development studies and human geography, which attempts to move away from an essentialist and ethnocentric development praxis, and towards a locally-based, participatory process of empowerment. From the perspective of such 'alternative' development ideas, orthodox strategies involving modernization, formalization of economic activities, and resource mobilization, can be reassessed.<br>The promotion of pond aquaculture--and the widespread mangrove deforestation associated with it--is shown to be a strategy endorsed and supported by national and international development agencies. What is often overlooked, however, is the local ecological and economic importance of mangrove ecosystems. This study examines the effects of mangrove removal and fishpond development on the entitlements of people in three coastal communities in the Philippines. Aquacultural development is shown to have detrimental effects on the integrity of the coastal ecosystem and the livelihoods of certain groups of local residents; a rich common property resource is converted into a privately-owned system of cultivation. While benefits accrue to those with access to the capital necessary for the construction of fishponds, the costs of development are borne largely by mangrove gatherers and artisanal fisherfolk, whose share of a diminishing resource base is steadily declining. For these marginal groups, aquaculture is shown to provide few compensating economic benefits.<br>The study supports, through concrete local evidence, the criticisms made of orthodox approaches to development, and the need to construct attitudes and strategies which are more attuned to local sustainability and equity.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has three primary objectives: to deconstruct the genealogical representation of Maori as a physical, unintelligent and savage people, to examine the role that education, and particularly physical education has played in perpetuating these representations by channelling Maori into physical curriculum areas, and to provide a functional kaupapa Maori philosophy of health and physical education.
Postmodern theory underpins this theses because it encourages the search for multiple truths. In the colonial context, specifically, it provides an ideal tool by which to deconstruct the supposedly objective and preordained single truths of the colonisers. As I demonstrate, these single truths proved to be politically motivated and false. I also employ a Foucauldian understanding of European history to describe how European bourgeois nationalism and normalisation mutated into biopower, where the normalised Self was able to control, limit, describe and kill the Other.
Travellers, missionaries and settlers transposed biopower from Europe to colonial New Zealand. Later, descriptions of the Other - or rather the juxtapositioning of the Self next to depictions of the primitive/anti Other - by anthropologists and historians aided this process. For the benefit of enlightened liberals, colonisation in New Zealand required a specific rhetoric to recast ruthless aspects of the process as mere anomalies on the road to Utopia. The modernist Western world validated colonisation under the guises of humanism and progress: the savage, primitive, pre-philosophical Maori provided the perfect contrast against the civilised, mature, philosophical Self. This genealogical representation formed the basis for Pakeha and Maori relations - and continues to do so.
Representations of Maori as intrinsically unintelligent and physical, framed politically motivated educational policy. Initially, racist educational directives channelled Maori into physical vocations to provide labour for untamed rural New Zealand. In the 1960�s and �70�s, racially biased intelligence test were employed to debiltate Maori students by streaming them into non-academic classes. Later, the so-called empowering rhetoric of the neo-colonial era informed curricula by promoting diluted and sanitised versions of tikanga Maori such as Taha Maori, its physical education offshoot Te Reo Kori, and the current New Zealand Health and Physical Education Curriculum. Promoted under the liberal banner of biculturalism, these initiatives primarily benefited Pakeha and further misrepresented Maori culture as simplistic and irrelevent to contemporary society.
Deconstructing grand narratives encourages researchers to construct knowledge outside such totalising truths. Thus, the theoretical approach and historical disseminations outlined above provide the foundations for part two of this thesis, which is a contribution towards Maori knowledge. Employing an interpretivist, indepth interviewing and collaborative narrative epistemology, I constructed korero with kaumatua and pakeke. These focus on health and physical education from a Maori position. Subsequent discussion examines certain aspects of each korero, to form a functional Maori philosophy of physical activity delineated by hauora, a Maori notion of holistic health. The discussion also outlines a number of issues surrounding the incorporation of tikanga Maori into mainstream education.

Full textAbstract:
The Pahau Terrane as part of the Torlesse Superterrane extends for over 30% of the New Zealand landmass. Although an unofficial type locality around the Pahau River has been proposed, it has never been adequately described or defined. One of the main goals of this research was to describe in detail the deposits of the Pahau River area in order to define the type locality.
In total ~900m of section was logged describing four lithofacies; mudstone, interbedded mudstone - sandstone, sandstone, and conglomerate. Two formation names and a group name are proposed and intended for widespread use. The Mt Saul Formation is proposed for coarse-grained conglomeratic lithofacies whereas the Ship Spur Formation is proposed for the combined fine-grained sedimentary lithofacies. The Pahau River Group encompasses these formations.
Stratigraphic logs clearly show coarsening and thickening upward, progradational sequences, at the tops of which either highly carbonaceous beds or rootlets can be observed. The bedding in the conglomerate lithofacies are dominated by bedload transport structures including large scale cross stratification, imbrication and clast support. Micro and macrofossil collection suggest a nearshore marine sequence yet rootlets suggest subaerial indicating a range from fully marine to terrestrial depositional environments, making them the only known terrestrial deposits in the
Pahau Terrane. This suggests a fan-delta depositional setting. Very few bi-directional structures were observed, suggesting that these deposits were not influenced by wave reworking and tidal currents to any great degree but are fluvially dominated.
Thin section analysis of fine to medium sandstones suggests a transitional to mixed arc provenance. Measurable indicators suggest a palaeoflow direction towards the east to northeast. These results are similar to previous studies indicating the suitability of the Pahau River area as a type locality for the Pahau Terrane.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a new way to conceptualize Hermann Max Pechstein’s “primitivism” as a kind of ethnographic “primitivism.” By creating a constellation that connects Pechstein’s Nidden and Palau-based projects, Paul Gauguin’s “primitivist” aesthetic, and the research produced by German ethnographers, I argue that the “documentary” nature of Pechstein’s work paradoxically merges the “scientific” aspects of ethnography with his, and more generally, other Expressionists’ interest in the “primitive.” In addition, the following work demonstrates that the purportedly “scientific” representations and visual accounts of South Seas natives that ethnographers like Otto Finsch produced in the late 1800s and early 1900s heavily and problematically relied on an aestheticization of these foreign people that renders them as decorative, “exotic” objects, which are in many ways subjugated to the gaze of and “on display” for the Westerners examining them. This thesis ultimately focuses on how Pechstein’s representations of people from Palau effectively combine the style typical of most Expressionists and an impulse towards ethnographic depiction not seen in the work of his Brücke colleagues.

Previous issue date: 2011-02-28<br>Panax ginseng, a medicinal plant known as the plant that "cure all ills" is indicated as adaptogenic, immune stimulant, restorative physical and mental health, increased resistance to exogenous stress factors, among others. The aim of this study was to evaluate the action of a commercial Panax ginseng product on performance, egg quality, biochemical, hematological, immunological and behavioral profile of hens during initial hen s laying cycle 1. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments which consisted in different levels of Panax ginseng (T1 control (without Panax ginseng); T2 1.9; T3 3.8; T4 5.7 and T5 7.6 mg/hen/day) in a total of 70 birds housed in 35 cages with seven replicates per treatment. The basal diets were prepared using corn and soybean meal in agreement with the nutritional values established by the breeder manual. To predict the effect of different levels of Panax ginseng on performance, egg quality, biochemical, hematological, and immunological traits the regression analysis was used. The Dunnett test was used in each Panax ginseng levels to compare to the control treatment. Ethological parameters were evaluated using chi-square analysis. Performance and egg quality were not influenced by dietary treatments, except specific gravity in the first period that was lower in 5.7 mg/hen/day levels and the eggshell weight that was higher in 7.6 mg/hen/day level in comparison with the control treatment in the fourth period. In sensorial analysis, egg yolk color alteration, but not flavor, texture and taste was observed after 30 days of utilization of Panax ginseng. No significant difference was found in hen s hematological profile in all periods evaluated. In metabolic parameters, higher level of phosphorus in hens receiving 7.6 mg/hen/day of Panax ginseng at second and third period and albumin was observed only in the last period when compared to the control group. Cholesterol level was higher in hens receiving 1.9 and 3.8 mg/hen/day of Panax ginseng in comparison with the control treatment. No significant difference among treatments was found in antibody titer after vaccination. In ethological parameters vigilant behavior was more frequent in control group, preening in the group receiving 7.6 mg/hen/day and drinking in the intermediate levels of Panax ginseng (3.8 and 5.6 mg/hen/day). The supplementation with Panax ginseng up to 7.6 mg/hen/day do not change the performance, egg quality, hematological profile and immunological status. Only small variations in the metabolic parameters and behavior frequency of the hens receiving Panax ginseng could be expected.<br>Panax ginseng, uma planta medicinal conhecida como a planta que cura todos os males é indicada como adaptogênica, imunoestimulante, revigorante físico e mental, aumenta a resistência a fatores de estresse exógeno, entre outros. Neste trabalho foi avaliado a ação de um produto comercial a base de Panax ginseng sob o desempenho produtivo, a qualidade dos ovos (interna, externa e sensorial), o perfil hematológico e bioquímico, parâmetros imunológicos e comportamentais de poedeiras na fase inicial de postura 1. As dietas experimentais foram fornecidas as aves durante 30 dias. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos que consistiram em diferentes doses de Panax ginseng (T1 controle (sem Panax ginseng); T2 1,9 mg/ave/dia; T3 3,8 mg/ave/dia; T4 5,7 mg/ave/dia; T5 7,6 mg/ave/dia) num total de 70 aves, distribuídas em 35 gaiolas, divididas em sete repetições por tratamento. As dietas basais foram formuladas a base de milho e farelo de soja, atendendo as exigências das aves. Para predizer os efeitos das doses de Panax ginseng sobre os parâmetros produtivos, metabólicos e hematológicos foi utilizada análise de regressão polinomial. Foi utilizado o teste de Dunnett, em cada nível de inclusão do Panax ginseng, para comparação com a ração controle. Para a análise da frequência de comportamentos foi utilizado o teste de qui-quadrado. A suplementação da dieta com o produto a base de Panax ginseng não alterou as variáveis de desempenho. As variáveis de qualidade de ovos não foram afetadas pela inclusão de Panax ginseng, exceto a gravidade específica no primeiro período que foi menor na dose 5,7 mg/ave/dia e o peso da casca que foi significativamente maior na dose de 7,6 mg/ave/dia em comparação ao tratamento controle no quarto período de avaliação. Na análise sensorial foi observada alteração na cor da gema dos ovos após 30 dias de utilização do Panax ginseng, mas não no sabor, textura e aroma. No perfil hematológico das poedeiras não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos em nenhuma das fases. No perfil metabólico foram observadas maiores níveis de fósforo nas aves que receberam 7,6 mg/ave/dia de ginseng em comparação com o grupo controle nos períodos dois e três de avaliação e de albumina somente neste último período. Os níveis de colesterol foram maiores nas aves recebendo dosagens de 1,9 e 3,8 mg/ave/dia de Panax ginseng em relação ao grupo controle. Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos para os títulos de anticorpos após a inoculação da vacina. Nas variáveis etológicas os comportamentos de vigiar foram mais frequentes no grupo controle, o comportamento de higiene no grupo com a maior dose de Panax ginseng (7,6mg/ave/dia) e o comportamento de beber água nas doses intermediárias (3,8 e 5,6 mg/ave/dia). A suplementação com Panax ginseng até 7,6 mg/ave/dia não altera o desempenho, a qualidade dos ovos, o perfil hematológico e status imunológico. Apenas pequenas variações no perfil metabólico e na freqüência de alguns comportamentos podem ser esperadas.

Full textAbstract:
Les pana sont un petit groupe ethnique etabli en republique centrafricaine, frontalier du tchad et du cameroun. Leur nombre est d'environ 60 000 (30 000 en centrafrique et 30 000 expatries au cameroun). A ce jour, aucun travail serieux n'a ete publie a leur sujet. Pendant la colonisation francaise, leur territoire avait d'abord ete rattache administrativement au moyen-congo puis au tchad et a l'oubangui-chari (a. E. F) ; entre 1911 et 1916, il avait ete sous controle allemand. Contrairement aux groupes ethniques dominants en centrafrique, leur langue et leur histoire lointaine ne sont pas oubanguiennes ; elles se rattachent plutot a celles des mboum camerounais (adamaoua). L'objet de la presente recherche est de montrer comment -bien qu'ils soient organises selon un schema moderne d'institutions locales avec des maires nommes par le gouvernement- les pana ont reussi a conserver partiellement leur modele de pouvoir traditionnel. Il s'agissait d'une chefferie bicephale avec un "belaka" considere comme le chef des affaires temporelles et un "gangpana" ou chef de terre representant l'essence meme du groupe ; ce dernier, descendant du clan fondateur est -encore de nos jours- seul autorise a gravir la montagne sacree (le mont pana) et a s'y entretenir avec les ancetres ; c'est lui qui transmet les messages de ces derniers aux vivants et procede aux rites en leur honneur. Jusqu'aux annees 50, le belaka devait etre intronise sur la montagne sacree pour etre reconnu comme chef des pana. Par suite d'une histoire coloniale marquee par la violence (rebellion du kongo-wara et guerre des grottes 1928/1933), le belaka a finalement ete considere comme indigne de l'intronisation rituelle et a cesse d'etre a la fois chef spirituel et chef temporel. Cependant, jusqu'en 1993, le maire de ngaounday ("capitale" locale) etait toujours un descendant du clan duquel etaient issus tous les belaka depuis quatre-vingts ans environ ; il ne prenait aucune decision importante sans en referer au gangpana et aux anciens. Le second objet de recherche a consiste a reconstituer l'histoire de ce groupe qui est entre tardivement en contact avec les europeens (1906) ; ceci a ete rendu possible par un travail approfondi dans les archives coloniales (aix-en- provence, vincennes et potsdam). D'autres informations proviennent des nombreux entretiens realises sur place<br>The pana are a small ethnic group living in central african republic at the border between cameroon and chad. Their number is approximately 30 000 people in c. A. R and about the same number living in cameroon as expatriate. Up to date no reliable work has been published on their account. During the french colonial era, their land was included in a. E. F, first in moyen-congo, then in tchad and oubangui- chari. Between 1911 and 1916 it was under german control. As opposed to the dominant ethnic groups in c. A. R. (gbaya and banda) their language and far-off history are not "oubanguian" ; they must be related to the mboum of cameroon (adamawa area). The purpose of this research is to show how -although involved in the scheme of modern local institutions such as mayors appointed by the government- they have been able to partly retain their traditional model of power. It consisted in a dual chieftaincy with a "belaka" considered as the leader for profane matters and a "gangpana" or sacrifice leader representing the very essence of the group ; the latter being the descendant of the founding clan, he - still nowadays- is the only one allowed to reach the top of the sacred moutain (mont pana) to commmunicate with the ancestors ; thus he is the one transmitting their messages to the living and the one worth conducting rites on their behalf. Up to the fifties, the belaka had to be inthronized on the sacred mountain by the gangpana to be accepted as the pana leader. Because of a colonial history embedded in violence ("kongo wara" rebellion and "caves war" 1928/1933), eventually the belaka was considered as not being worth the sacred rites any more and ceased to be both a religious and a profane leader. However, up to 1993, the mayor of ngaounday (main pana town) always was a descendant of the specific clan to which belakas had been born since the first decades of this century. He did not make any important decision without taking the advice of gangpana and of the elder. The second purpose of this work is to give a comprehensive picture of the history of this group which only tardily entered in contact with the europeans (1906) ; this has been achieved through a very documented work in different colonial archive departments (aix-en-provence, vincennes and potsdam). Other information has been gathered through numerous interviews conducted in ngaounday

Studien undersöker om elever som tränar mycket i skolan och på sin fritid presterar bättre betygsmässigt på gymnasiet än de elever som inte är lika aktiva. Kan dessa olikheter mellan de elever som tränar mycket och en kontrollgrupp skilja sig åt i avseende på LOT, PANAS, SE och HAD. Hypotesen som testas är: Träning korrelerar positivt med bra betyg. För att utreda om hypotesen stämmer har elever på gymnasiet fått fylla i en enkät. Enkäten innehåller dels flera psykologiska test, PANAS, LOT, SE och HAD, men även ett formulär där deras betyg ska skrivas in. Resultatet för studien visar att hypotesen stämmer. Det är signifikant att elever som tränar mycket får högre betyg än de som inte tränar. Förutom betygen visar resultatet även att de idrottande eleverna mår bättre, de hade mindre grad av depression, ångest, ilska, skuld, nervositet och stress än eleverna i kontrollgruppen. De hade även högre energi, högre grad av optimism, entusiasm och koncentration än kontrollgruppen. Slutsatsen för denna studie blir alltså att träning korrelerar positivt med bra betyg och bättre upplevd hälsa. Nyckelord: PANAS, LOT, SE, HAD, Betyg, Träning

Full textAbstract:
The complexities of issues existing in Kenya create a domino effect directly affecting not only the effective management and economic growth of Kenya, but also social and legislative constraints to the lower socioeconomic classes. Land dispossession, proof of ownership to property and nationality are ongoing troubling issues affecting increased orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Kenya, most noticeably within predominantly poverty stricken rural enclaves. This research focuses on the bold move of stakeholders of Trinity United Methodist Church in Naivasha, Kenya partnering with First United Methodist Church of Winter Park, Orlando, United States of America. In 2010, they conceptualized Panua Partners in Hope, a transformational ministerial assisted non-profit organization program. These churches recently established support to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Naivasha, Kenya. Decisively apply all their available resources to stem the varying issues these orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) are facing. Whereby, the program is designed to teach self-sufficiency, wealth creation through sustainable income generation and entrepreneurship, and religious relationship development. Continued education is a key component of which Panua mandates. Ongoing (learning) education ensures each child remain in school – (basic, primary and secondary school levels). In addition to ensuring orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) are legally aware of their civil, human and property rights. Conversely, these issues being perpetual worldwide challenges, however, the aim of this research is to specifically address its impactive progression on orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). Thus, outlining their local conditions, the provisions of governmental policies, and assistance, or lack thereof to remedy such current challenges. Additionally, the research will outline reformed constitutional statutes despite being ratified, have not addressed the major issues currently impinging on the freedom and rights of rural communities in Naivasha, Kenya.<br>B.S.<br>Bachelors<br>Legal Studies<br>Health and Public Affairs

La estrategia nació con dos principios básicos. En primer lugar, las organizaciones
tienen un propósito, un fin, que se puede materializar a través de una visión que prende forma
con objetivos a largo plazo. Por otra parte, se vive en un mundo donde los recursos
(humanos, económicos, tecnológicos) son escasos. Por lo tanto, la estrategia es un proceso
dinámico de gestión que intenta definir el camino adecuado que una empresa tendría que
atravesar para ir de su situación actual hasta su situación deseada en el futuro. En el sector
público o no gubernamental, aún más en el sector cultural, la visión empresarial de la
estrategia puede chocar con la sensibilidad artística.
En el presente trabajo, se analiza la situación de un teatro de ópera, el Palau de Les
Arts Reina Sofía de Valencia en España (en adelante Les Arts). Les Arts está buscando una
identidad para posicionarse en la vida cultural valenciana, con proyección al resto de España
y fuera de ella. En este sentido, a partir del análisis interno y externo, se propone una nueva
visión (que Les Arts se vuelva la gran culminación del espíritu artístico de la región de
Valencia, así como un lugar de encuentro) y los objetivos de largo plazo que la materializarán
(aumento de los ingresos por taquilla, por alquiler de espacios y por patrocinio, aumento del
número de clientes, diversificación de la oferta cultural). A continuación, se presentan las
estrategias que permitirán alcanzar esta visión, centradas principalmente en la transformación
del edificio en un lugar de encuentro, de curiosidad, la apertura de la programación artística a
otros tipos de música (más allá de la ópera o de los conciertos sinfónicos) así como la
captación de nuevos clientes, y la fidelización de los abonados mediante la mejora de los
servicios ofrecidos. Y finalmente, se propone un cuadro de monitoreo de la ejecución del
plan, para verificar que la transformación se pone en marcha. En todo momento, se intenta
hablar de las especificidades de esta institución cultural, cuya realidad se demarca de muchos
otros sectores industriales.<br>Strategy starts with two basic principles. First, organizations have a goal, a purpose
that can be communicated through a vision, which takes life with long term objectives. On
another hand, resources (human, economical, technological) are scarce. In this context,
strategy is a dynamic process of management that intends to design the right path that a
company should embrace to go from its current situation to the desired end state. In the
public or non-governmental sector, especially in the arts and culture industry, the businessoriented
mindset of strategy can conflict with the artistic sensibility.
In this document, we analyze the current situation of an opera house, the Palau de Les
Arts Reina Sofia (Les Arts). Les Arts is looking for its own identity in order to position itself
in the cultural life of Valencia, with projection in Spain and beyond. In the wake of the
internal and external analysis, we suggest a vision for the institution and with long term goals
for they will materialize. Then we design the strategies allowing to reach this vision. And
finally, we draw a control framework in order to check the correct implementation of the
plan. At every stage, we try to take into consideration and comment the specificities of the
artistic institution, which reality is – to some extent – way different from other industries.<br>Tesis

Previous issue date: 2011-10-21<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Anxiety is an adaptive response of organism to situations that life presents, and
driving performance with personal and psychological as well as physiological
components. It is considered pathological when it causes suffering to the individual,
bringing him damage in terms of injury avoidance behaviors and avoidance
important situations in his academic, social and professional life. The pathological
manifestations of anxiety are grouped as Anxiety Disorders. Several pharmacological
classes are used to treat this group of disorders, especially benzodiazepines and
antidepressants. However, the pattern of adverse reactions, the possibility of
tolerance and dependence as well as abuse potential of benzodiazepines, added to
slow response of antidepressant treatment, justify the search for new therapeutic
possibilities. Preclinical studies have attested the anxiety-relieving activity of the
roots extract of Panax ginseng C. A Meyer. Its ethnopharmacological use for anxiety
is evident worldwide. The aim of this study was to test the therapeutic efficacy of the
extract of the roots of P. ginseng in the acute treatment of experimentally induced
anxiety in healthy volunteers and identify adverse effects caused by its use. The
study population consisted of university students, aged between 18 and 30 years.
We selected 60 healthy volunteers who met the study inclusion criteria. We
developed a clinical double-blind, randomized, controlled, acute essay. The
substances used were: P. ginseng (200 mg), diazepam (10 mg) and placebo. Anxiety
was experimentally elicited through Simulation Test of Public Speaking, and
evaluated through the use of physiological measures (blood pressure, heart pulse
rate, ends temperature and skin electrical conductance) and psychometric scales
(trait-state anxiety inventory and analog mood scale). The results were analyzed
using several statistical, parametric and nonparametric methods. They showed that
the extract of the roots of P. ginseng intensifies anxiety, especially during
performance test and has a minor ability to reduce it in the final phase, with greater
significance demonstrated through psychological measures. Although well tolerated,
P. ginseng has not demonstrated effectiveness in controlling anxiety and subjective
signs and symptoms associated with it.<br>A ansiedade é uma resposta adaptativa do organismo às situações que a vida
apresenta, sendo propulsora do desempenho pessoal e com componentes
psicológicos e fisiológicos. É considerada patológica quando provoca sofrimento ao
indivíduo, trazendo-lhe prejuízo em função dos comportamentos de fuga e esquiva
de situações importantes da vida acadêmica, social e profissional. As manifestações
da ansiedade patológica são agrupadas nos transtornos de Ansiedade. Várias
classes farmacológicas são utilizadas no tratamento deste grupo de transtorno,
destacando-se os benzodiazepínicos e antidepressivos. Entretanto, o padrão de
reações adversas, a possibilidade de dependência e tolerância e o potencial de
abuso dos benzodiazepínicos, adicionado a lenta resposta terapêutica dos
antidepressivos, justificam a busca de novas possibilidades terapêuticas. Estudos
pré-clínicos atestaram a atividade ansiolítica do extrato das raízes do Panax ginseng
C.A. Meyer. Seu uso etnofarmacológico para ansiedade é evidenciado em todo
mundo. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar a eficácia terapêutica do extrato das raízes
do P. ginseng no tratamento agudo da ansiedade induzida de maneira experimental
em voluntários saudáveis e identificar os efeitos adversos provocados pelo seu uso.
A população do estudo foi constituída por estudantes universitários, com idade entre
18 e 30 anos. Foram selecionados 60 voluntários saudáveis, que atenderam aos
critérios de inclusão do estudo. Foi desenvolvido um ensaio clínico duplo-cego,
randômico, controlado e agudo. As substâncias utilizadas foram: P. ginseng (200
mg), Diazepam (10 mg) e Placebo. A ansiedade foi produzida de modo
experimental, através do Teste de Simulação de Falar em Público e avaliada
mediante o uso de medidas fisiológicas (pressão arterial, frequência cardíaca,
temperatura de extremidades e condutância elétrica da pele) e escalas
psicométricas (Inventário de ansiedade traço-estado e escala analógica do humor).
Os resultados foram analisados utilizando vários métodos estatísticos paramétricos e
não-paramétricos. Eles demonstraram que o extrato das raízes de P. ginseng
intensifica a ansiedade, principalmente na fase de performance do Teste e
apresenta menor capacidade de reduzi-lá na fase final, demonstrado com maior
significância através das medidas psicológicas. Embora bem tolerado, P. ginseng
não demonstrou eficácia no controle subjetivo da ansiedade e de alguns sinais e
sintomas a ela associados.

Aquesta tesi és una edició crítico-genètica del llibre Poemes de l'Alquimista de Josep Palau i Fabre. Per una banda, es donen a conèixer, a través d'un extens exercici de crítica textual, tots els manuscrits i mecanoscrits dels poemes, trobats fins a la data d'avui (abril de 2017), a l'arxiu personal de l'autor ubicat a la Fundació Palau. Els llocs crítics es descriuen en dos aparats de variants que permeten resseguir l'evolució genètica dels poemes, des dels primers estadis fins als últims localitzats.
Per una altra banda, entendre la gènesi del llibre, ha permet que en aquest treball es desenvolupin tota una sèrie de teories interpretatives, que esdevenen una bona base per a un estudi en profunditat del contingut dels poemes i de l'estructura del llibre. S'hi apunten, entre d'altres, algunes dades importants com que tots els poemes de Poemes de l'Alquimista es van escriure abans de l'any 1952 i es fixen les etapes poètiques de Palau i Fabre i els anys que marquen un punt d'inflexió en la seva trajectòria com a poeta (1938, 1943 i 1947).<br>This thesis is a critical-genetic edition of the book Poemes de l’Alquimista, by Josep Palau i Fabre. On one side, it presents, through a wide exercise of textual review, all of the handwritten and typewritten poems that have been found until today (April 22th, 2017) at the personal files of the author, which can be found at the Fundació Palau. The critical places are described in two parts of variants that allow us to trace the genetic evolution of the poems, from the first stages to the last ones that have been found.
On the other side, understanding the genesis of the book allows a series of interpretative theories to be developed, and these become an excellent basis for a deeper study of the content of the poems and the book’s structure. The thesis contains some relevant data, as for example the fact that all the poems of Poemes de l’Alquimista were written before 1952, the poetical stages of Palau i Fabre, and the years that marked a turning point in his career as a poet (1938, 1943 and 1947).

Full textAbstract:
Oral history is an important component of Palauan heritage and living culture. Interaction of oral history and archaeology is regarded as a policy when conducting research in Palau, both within the Bureau of Arts and Culture, responsible for protection and preservation of cultural remains in Palau, and among researchers not representing BAC. Legally, a material remain is proven significance if it is connected with intangible resources, such as "lyrics, folklore and traditions associated with Palauan culture". This paper examines and discusses the connection of oral history and archaeology, which will be presented through three case studies: the earthworks on Babeldaob, the traditional stonework village of Edangel in Ngardmau state, and the process of nominating a cultural remain for inclusion in the National Register for Historic Places. The nomination is a good reflection of the interaction between archaeology and oral history, where association with intangible resources is virtually necessary. The two specified types of archaeological remains are compared to one another regarding presence in oral traditions and significance for Palauans. Based on the information obtained from personal experience, interviews and literature, it can be concluded that an archaeological or historical site is valued more by its connection to oral history than to its archaeological qualities, which in turn effects how protection and preservation is administrated, financed, and carried out.

Previous issue date: 2009-10-09<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Fibromyalgia is a chronic painful syndrome that affects up to 5% of the population
worldwide. It may be associated with sleep or mood disorders and fatigue, and
progresses with functional disability. Its pathogenesis consists of disorders of central
pain modulation, involvement of the descending inhibitory system and substance P
hyperactivity. The drug most commonly used for treatment of this syndrome is
amitriptyline, which leads to an improvement in up to 50% of cases. Patients are
interested in trying alternative or complementary medicine for the treatment of
fibromyalgia. Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer is an herb that has been used for hundreds
of years in oriental medicine. Preclinical studies have confirmed the antinociceptive
effect of its active metabolites (ginsenosides) on substance P-induced pain,
demonstrating an ability to inhibit calcium channels in dorsal medullary neurons.
Clinical trials have shown an improvement in quality of life and fatigue with the use of
ginseng. The study had as objective to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the
extract of P. ginseng roots in controlling pain, fatigue, sleep quality, anxiety and
quality of life in fibromyalgia. Fifty-two women of 21-60 years of age, who fulfilled the
inclusion criteria of the study, were selected. A randomized, double-blind, controlled
clinical trial was carried out over 12 weeks to compare the effect of P. ginseng (100
mg/day) with amitriptyline (25 mg/day) and placebo. Variables evaluated were pain,
fatigue, sleep quality and anxiety using a visual analogue scale (VAS); pain was
evaluated using a tender points count and quality of life using the Fibromyalgia
Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). The patients were evaluated at six follow-up visits and
results were expressed as means ± standard error (SE) of the mean using analysis
of variation (ANOVA) and Tukey s post-hoc test. Thirty-eight women with a mean age
of 43 years concluded the study. There were no statistically significant differences
between the three groups with respect to baseline characteristics. VAS revealed a
reduction in pain in the ginseng group (p<0.0001) with an improvement ≥ 30% from
the sixth week of treatment onwards, an improvement in fatigue (p<0.0001) with a
reduction ≥ 25% on the sixth week and ≥ 40% on the ninth week; and an
improvement in sleep (p=0.0003) with a reduction ≥ 40% in the frequency of this
complaint by the 6th week of treatment. The VAS evaluation of pain, fatigue and
sleep detected an improvement compared to baseline values; however, there was no
statistically significant difference between the three groups. With respect to anxiety,
an improvement occurred in the ginseng group compared to baseline (p<0.0001);
however, amitriptyline treatment resulted in a significantly greater improvement
(p<0.05). Ginseng reduced the number of tender points and improved patients
quality of life, as evaluated by the FIQ, compared to baseline in both cases
(p<0.0001); however, no difference was found between the groups. Treatment with
ginseng resulted in an improvement in all the parameters evaluated compared to
baseline; however, there was no difference between this group of patients and those
using placebo and amitriptyline, and this one was more effective than placebo or
ginseng in improving anxiety. The beneficial effect on all parameters evaluated
suggests that further studies should be performed with larger sample sizes and/or
higher doses of ginseng to evaluate this herb for future use as a complementary
therapy for fibromyalgia.<br>A fibromialgia é uma síndrome dolorosa crônica que afeta até 5% da população
mundial. Pode associar-se com distúrbios do sono, do humor e fadiga, e cursar com
incapacidade funcional. Sua patogênese envolve distúrbio de modulação central da
dor, comprometimento do sistema inibitório descendente e hiperatividade da
substância P. O fármaco mais utilizado na sua terapia farmacológica é a amitriptilina,
com melhora em até 50% dos casos. Há muito interesse dos pacientes sobre a
medicina alternativa e complementar na terapia da fibromialgia. O Panax ginseng
C.A. Meyer é uma erva utilizada pela medicina oriental há centenas de anos.
Estudos pré-clínicos comprovaram a ação antinociceptiva dos seus metabólitos
ativos (ginsenosídeos) sobre a dor induzida pela substância P, e demonstraram sua
capacidade de inibir canais de cálcio nos neurônios da região dorsal medular.
Ensaios clínicos sugeriram melhora da qualidade de vida e da fadiga com uso do
ginseng. O estudo teve como objetivos: avaliar a eficácia terapêutica do extrato das
raízes do P. ginseng no controle da dor, fadiga, qualidade do sono e ansiedade, e
qualidade de vida na fibromialgia. Foram selecionadas 52 mulheres, com idades
entre 21 e 60 anos, após preencherem os critérios de inclusão para o estudo. Foi
desenvolvido um ensaio clínico, randômico, duplo-cego, controlado, por 12
semanas, comparando a ação do P. ginseng (100 mg/dia) com amitriptilina (25
mg/dia) e placebo. Variáveis avaliadas: dor, fadiga, qualidade do sono e ansiedade,
por escala visual analógica (EVA); dor, por contagem dos pontos dolorosos; e
melhora da qualidade de vida, por meio do Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ).
As pacientes foram avaliadas em 6 visitas, e os resultados foram dados em média ±
EPM, utilizando ANOVA e pós-teste de Tukey. Trinta e oito mulheres concluíram o
estudo, com média de idade de 43 anos. Não houve diferença significante nas
características basais médias nos três grupos. Na EVA, observou-se: redução da
dor no grupo do ginseng (p<0,0001), com melhora ≥ 30% a partir da 6ª semana de
terapia; melhora da fadiga (p<0,0001), com redução ≥ 25% a partir da 6ª semana, e
≥ 40% na 9ª semana; e melhora do sono (p= 0,0003), reduzindo ≥ 40% a partir da 6ª
semana de terapia. Nas três variáveis avaliadas na EVA, houve melhora em relação
ao período basal, mas não houve diferença entre os três grupos. Com relação à
ansiedade, o ginseng mostrou-se melhor em relação ao período basal (p<0,0001),
mas foi inferior à amitriptilina (p<0,05), na comparação entre os grupos. O ginseng
reduziu o número de pontos dolorosos e melhorou a qualidade de vida das
pacientes (FIQ), ambos em relação ao período basal (p<0,0001), mas não houve
diferença entre os grupos. O ginseng foi capaz de melhorar todos os parâmetros
avaliados em relação ao período basal, mas não foi diferente do placebo ou da
amitriptilina, e esta foi superior ao placebo e ao ginseng na melhora da ansiedade.
Sua atuação benéfica nos parâmetros avaliados sugere a realização de novos
ensaios clínicos, com amostras maiores, e/ou com dose maior do ginseng, para uma
futura indicação como terapia complementar na fibromialgia.

Full textAbstract:
Panax ginseng is a traditional herb that has been used for over 2000 years to promote health and longevity. Active components of ginseng include ginsenosides, polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, peptides, vitamins, phenols and enzymes, of which the ginsenosides are considered to be the major bioactive constituents. Although widely used, the exact mechanisms of ginseng and its compounds remain unclear. In this thesis we use melanophores from Xenopus laevis to investigate the effects of Panax ginseng extract G115 and its constituents on organelle transport and signalling. Due to coordinated bidirectional movement of their pigmented granules (melanosomes), in response to defined chemical signals, melanophores are capable of fast colour changes and provide a great model for the study of intracellular transport. The movement is regulated by alterations in cyclic adenosine 3’:5’-monophosphate (cAMP) concentration, where a high or low level induce anterograde (dispersion) or retrograde (aggregation) transport respectively, resulting in a dark or light cell. Here we demonstrate that Panax ginseng and its constituents ginsenoside Rc and Rd and flavonoid quercetin induce a concentration-dependent anterograde transport of melanosomes. The effect of ginseng is shown to be independent of cAMP changes and protein kinase A activation. Upon incubation of melanophores with a combination of Rc or Rd and quercetin, a synergistic increase in anterograde movement was seen, indicating cooperation between the ginsenoside and flavonoid parts of ginseng. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Myristoylated EGF-R Fragment 651-658 decreased the anterograde movement stimulated by ginseng and ginsenoside Rc and Rd. Moreover, ginseng, but not ginsenosides or quercetin, stimulated an activation of 44/42-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), previously shown to be involved in both aggregation and dispersion of melanosomes. PKC-inhibition did not affect the MAPK-activation, suggesting a role for PKC in the ginseng- and ginsenoside-induced dispersion but not as an upstream activator of MAPK.<br>Panax ginseng är ett av de vanligaste naturläkemedlen i världen och används traditionellt för att öka kroppens uthållighet, motståndskraft och styrka. Ginseng är ett komplext ämne bestående av ett antal olika substanser, inklusive ginsenosider, flavonoider, vitaminer och enzymer, av vilka de steroidlika ginsenosiderna anses vara de mest aktiva beståndsdelarna. Flavonoider (som finns i till exempel frukt och grönsaker) och ginseng har genom forskning visat sig motverka bland annat hjärt-och kärlsjukdomar, diabetes, cancer och demens. Trots den omfattande användningen är dock mekanismen för hur ginseng verkar fortfarande oklar. I den här studien har vi använt pigmentinnehållande celler, melanoforer, från afrikansk klogroda för att undersöka effekterna av Panax ginseng på pigment-transport och dess maskineri. Melanoforer har förmågan att snabbt ändra färg genom samordnad förflyttning av pigmentkorn fram och tillbaka i cellen, och utgör en utmärkt modell för studier av intracellulär transport. Förflyttningen regleras av förändringar i halten av cykliskt adenosin-monofosfat (cAMP) i cellen, där en hög eller låg koncentration medför spridning av pigment över hela cellen (dispergering) eller en ansamling i mitten (aggregering), vilket resulterar i mörka respektive ljusa celler. Här visar vi att Panax ginseng, ginsenosiderna Rc och Rd samt flavonoiden quercetin stimulerar en dispergering av pigmentkornen. När melanoforerna inkuberades med en kombination av ginsenosid Rc eller Rd och quercetin, kunde en synergistisk ökning av dispergeringen ses, vilket tyder på en samverkan mellan ginsenosid- och flavonoid-delarna av ginseng. Ett protein som tidigare visats vara viktigt för pigmenttransporten är mitogen-aktiverat protein kinas (MAPK), och här visar vi att också melanoforer stimulerade med ginseng, men dock inte med ginsenosider eller quercetin, innehåller aktiverat MAPK. Genom att blockera enzymet protein kinas C (PKC) (känd aktivator av dispergering), minskade den ginseng- och ginsenosid-inducerade dispergeringen, medan aktiveringen av MAPK inte påverkades alls. Detta pekar på en roll för PKC i pigment-transporten men inte som en aktivator av MAPK.
