Over a decade of HIV infection prevalence and incidence among Mozambican pregnant women
The prevalence of HIV decreased while the overall incidence stayed similar in Mozambican pregnant women, during 2010 to 2021. However, both estimates remain unacceptably high, which indicates the need to revise current preventive policies and implement effective ones to improve HIV control among pregnant women
Lobos e bestas, vacas e eucaliptos
Neste ensaio abórdase unha revisión dalgúns dos aspectos da bioloxía e a ecoloxía do lobo no norte de Galicia como un dos elementos que máis inciden na configuración da identidade rural galega e no aproveitamento gandeiro extensivo dos montes e, dentro deste, na cría dos cabalos bravos. Entre realidades cruzadas, como o cultivo intensivo de eucaliptos, os incendios e o cambio climático, o texto tenta atopar unha dirección que seguir nun mundo rur…
La empresa informativa busca nuevos modelos de negocio
Old business model traditionally used in media, based on reader or consumer collection and advertising revenue is insufficient to sustain media companies. It is necessary to reinvent this business model to allow media survive in our new online multi-product and globalized media market
La actividad informativa en los medios digitales
This crisis has accelerated printed press’ process to become online. ICT have transformed the information system both economically and productively. The dramatic decline in advertising revenues shakes the business model followed so far by media companies. We need new ways of financing, to allowe media survive. There are cases of new systems adopted for information activity to obtain profitability: from crowdfunding to ecommerce, supported in medi…

Design Retrospective study of hospital-based data systematically collected from January 2001 to December 2010. Setting Rural Mozambican district hospital.

A 10 year study of the cause of death in children under 15 years in Manhiça, Mozambique
The results of this study stand out the big challenges that lie ahead in the fight against infectious diseases in the study area. The pattern of childhood mortality in Manhiça area is typical of developing countries where malaria, pneumonia and HIV/AIDS are important causes of death
Analysis of TPI gene promoter variation in three sub‐Saharan Africa population samples
Population samples from Angola, Mozambique, and S. Tomé e Príncipe were screened for the TPI gene promoter variants -5A-->G, -8G-->A and -24T-->G. Three haplotypes were identified in the three populations: the haplotype -5A-8G-24T (average frequency 65.3%) and two less common haplotypes -5G-8G-24T (average frequency 24.7%) and -5G-8A-24T (average frequency 10.0%). A population sample from Central Portugal showed the haplotype -5A-8G-24T in 139 ch…
Health and survival of young children in southern Tanzania
Relatively short distances to health facilities, high antenatal and vaccine coverage show that peripheral health facilities have huge potential to make a difference to health and survival at household level in rural Tanzania, even with current human resources
Levels and trends of demographic indices in southern rural Mozambique
The population under demographic surveillance in Manhiça district presents characteristics that are typical of southern rural Mozambique, with predominance of young people and reduction of adult males. Labour migration and excess adult male mortality are the major factors for the reduction of adult males. Mortality is high and only infant mortality has started to stabilise while adult mortality has increased, and as consequence, life expectancy h…
Paediatric referrals in rural Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Referral is a critical part of appropriate primary care and of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy. We set out to study referrals from the aspect both of primary level facilities and the referral hospital in Kilombero District, southern Tanzania. Through record review and a separate prospective study we estimate referral rates, report on delays in reaching referral care and summarise the appropriateness of p…
Knowledge of Aids, use of condoms and results of counselling subjects with asymptomatic HIV2 infection in the gambia
A questionnaire administered to subjects seen during a serological survey in The Gambia revealed that knowledge of AIDS and HIV infection was limited. Males, those with a secondary education and people who lived in urban areas had a better understanding but only 17% of women seen in rural areas had any knowledge of the condition. Only 8% of the subjects seen had used condoms in the preceding 12 months; during this time half of them had done so on…
