Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease…
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…

Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: A systematic analysis
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around the world. Previous publications have estimated the effect of AMR on incidence, deaths, hospital length of stay, and health-care costs for specific pathogen-drug combinations in select locations. To our knowledge, this study presents the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. METHODS: We estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) a…

Festivals, time and space: The structure of the Indo-Nepalese version of the Hindu calendar
This article provides an interpretation of the annual cycle of festivals among the Hindus of the hills of Nepal. After recalling the main technical data of the Hindu calendar, the author develops his approach in two stages. Through an ethnographical inventory of festivals, he finds out the main divisions of the annual cycle. Using then Indian theoretical texts, he reconstructs deductively the conception of time which underlies this cycle of festi…
The drums of Nyishang (Nepal): Rituals and political centralisation
fig. 1 – “Braga and his monastery in the December snow” Photo Philippe Sagant, 1986; source: LESC_FPS_7.2.1 In a paper published in 1906, Ernest Herbert Cooper Walsh provided valuable information on how, in Tibetan culture, one experienced the relationship between political power and the worship of the sacred mountains—the local deities (yul-lha). His article concerns the Upper Tromo community in the Chumbi Valley, which is made up of seven or ei…
Dasaĩ and dual power among the Yakthumba
Dasaĩ is a Yakthumba popular festival. The cult of Durgā legitimates the authority of the political headmen, the subbā, who appeared after the Gurkha conquest (having been delegated by the “kings”, called hang). The hang was in fact an ordinary head of house (tumyang) like any other. The subbās seem to have taken over from the former kings. But because he enjoyed the favor of Nahangma, the yakthumba goddess of the mountain, he was recognized as p…

Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive…

The new frontier of age limits, or youthoods among the Meru (Kenya)
In the much-changed context of the present-day lives of the Tigania-Igembe Meru (agro-herders living north-east of Mount Kenya who once had a political generation-set system), the article examines the differentiation of categories of youth and the modalities of age limits. Contrary to common perceptions, the transition to the next grade was neither automatic nor devoid of strong tensions, and youth was something other than that intermediate phase…
Towards an anthropology of youth in Africa
Deconstructing the “young people” category in Africa, in order to place its study on new foundations: such is the aim of this anthropological essay. Understood through its emergence and its historical establishment, particularly during the sequences of events that followed decolonisation, the “young person” category is separated out from the tangle of connected concepts (cadet social, junior, young generation), enriched with components of its con…
A Complex Polity: Generations, Initiation, and Territory, among The Old Meru Of Kenya
Weaving together ethnography and history, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the pre-colonial polity of the Meru of Kenya and its radical transformations from 1908 through the 1950s. It addresses the manifold issues of initiation and the politics of belonging, unravels the intertwined life courses of men and women, and disentangles the web of family life and the handover of power across political generations. Restoring two well-known instan…
Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent wit…
Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality for 282 causes of death in 195 countries and territories, 1980–2017: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
BACKGROUND: Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use of newly available data and improved methods. GBD …

BACKGROUND: Efforts to establish the 2015 baseline and monitor early implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight both great potential for and threats to improving health by 2030. To fully deliver on the SDG aim of "leaving no one behind", it is increasingly important to examine the health-related SDGs beyond national-level estimates. As part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2…
Introduction: Hair in Tibetan Culture
This issue of Les Ateliers d’anthropologie on hair and its treatment in the Tibetan cultural area is the result of a conference in March 2014 organized by the Société française d’études du monde tibétain (sfemt). It reproduces some of the works presented at that meeting, and deliberately establishes a dialogue with the trichological research of anthropologist Christian Bromberger, who honored the society not only by attending that conference, but…
Cataloguing, Indexing and Encoding: How Data Come to Life

Australian Fascism? A Revisionist Analysis of the Ideology of the New Guard
In the past few decades, the New Guard – a paramilitary movement in New South Wales during the Great Depression – has become the subject of a robust body of academic literature. Almost ubiquitous in this literature is the claim that the New Guard and its leader Eric Campbell were fascist in nature. This article suggests that, when analysed within the context of several leading works in the field of fascist studies, certain elements of the movemen…
