The Media-Anthropological Turn of Cultural Techniques
Ubiquitous in contemporary German media theory, the concept of Kulturtechniken (cultural techniques) promises, as in Thomas Macho's dictum, to reach back before the reification of apparatuses and nouns in order to access the verbs and operations from which these nouns and artifacts first emerged: writing, painting, counting, making music, and many others.This basic idea is perhaps the only common denominator in current discussions of cultural tec…
Safety and efficacy of the ShangRing for early infant male circumcision in the routine clinical setting
INTRODUCTION: Male circumcision (MC) has been shown to decrease transmission of HIV and is a critical strategy to decrease its incidence in countries with high rates of heterosexually transmitted HIV. Early infant MC (EIMC), with single-use MC devices, could increase rates of MC in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our objective was to determine the safety, efficacy and satisfaction of ShangRing EIMC in resource-constrained environments. METHODS: Healthy male …
Insect Life and Letters
This article argues that vast histories of war and displacement in the twentieth century are connected to the small and almost unnoticeable lives of insects, and that philology has much to gain from paying attention to insect worlds. We examine two case studies: the work of the German entomologist Otto Hecht and his wife, Rose Caro Hecht, and the lay entomology of the German writer Hanns Heinz Ewers and his letter exchange with geneticist Richard…
Predictors of HIV Among 1 Million Clients in High-Risk Male Populations in Tanzania
The World Health Organization identified men as an essential group to target with HIV testing and treatment strategies;: men who have sex with men (MSM) and male clients of female sex workers (CFSW) account for 35% of new HIV infections globally. Using a cross-sectional design from a community-based HIV prevention project in Tanzania (October 2015-September 2018) and multivariable logistic regression, we identified predictors of HIV seropositivit…
Reducing surgical site infections and mortality among obstetric surgical patients in Tanzania
INTRODUCTION: Despite ongoing maternal health interventions, maternal deaths in Tanzania remain high. One of the main causes of maternal mortality includes postoperative infections. Surgical site infection (SSI) rates are higher in low/middle-income countries (LMICs), such as Tanzania, compared with high-income countries. We evaluated the impact of a multicomponent safe surgery intervention in Tanzania, hypothesising it would (1) increase adheren…
Outcomes and Experiences of Men and Women with Partner Notification for HIV Testing in Tanzania
A growing evidence base supports expansion of partner notification in HIV testing services (HTS) in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015, a cross-sectional study was conducted in Njombe region, Tanzania, to evaluate partner notification within facility-based HTS. Men and women newly diagnosed with HIV were enrolled as index clients and asked to list current or past sexual partners for referral to HTS. Successful partner referral was 2.5 times more likely …
Addressing the First 90
To meet UNAIDS' 90-90-90 treatment goals, effective approaches to HIV testing services (HTSs) are urgently needed. In 2015, a cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate effectiveness and feasibility of partner notification for HTS in Tanzania. Men and women newly diagnosed with HIV were enrolled as index clients, listed sexual partners, and given options to notify and link their partners to HTS. Of 653 newly diagnosed individuals, 390 index …
