Reducing relapses after acute malnutrition treatment: Evidence from a simplified approach in emergency settings of Mali
Background Acute malnutrition remains a critical public health issue, particularly in emergency settings. While simplified treatment protocols show promise in improving access and cost-effectiveness, evidence on their impact on relapse rates remains limited. This study aimed to compare relapse incidence among children treated for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) using a simplified protocol versus the standard Community Management of Acute Malnutri…
Integration of a Wash Component in the Standard National Protocol for Treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition in Children Aged 6–59 Months in Northern Senegal—A Costing Study
Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects 12.2 million children globally. Integrating a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) kit in outpatient SAM treatment can improve recovery rates by preventing WASH-related diseases and complications, but its cost at scale remains unknown. This study estimates the cost of integrating a WASH kit, composed of chlorine-based water treatment, safe water storage with a lid, soap, and a hygiene promotion component in…
Socioeconomic Risk Factors Associated With Acute Malnutrition Severity Among Under‐Five Children Based on a Machine Learning Approach: The Case of Rural Emergency Contexts in Niger and Mali
Currently, child acute malnutrition continues to be a serious public health problem, and although its most fatal consequences are well known, its associated factors still need to be studied in more depth in different contexts. The objective of the present study is to determine the association between socioeconomic variables and acute malnutrition severity in rural emergency contexts of Niger and Mali. The present study consists of a secondary ana…
Effectiveness of decentralizing outpatient acute malnutrition treatment with community health workers and a simplified combined protocol: A cluster randomized controlled trial in emergency settings of…
Background: Outpatient treatment of acute malnutrition is usually centralized in health centers and separated into different programs according to case severity. This complicates case detection, care delivery, and supply chain management, making it difficult for families to access treatment. This study assessed the impact of treating severe and moderate cases in the same program using a simplified protocol and decentralizing treatment outside hea…
Three‐arm clinical trial of improved flour targeting intestinal microbiota (Malinea)
The main objective of this project was to compare in the field conditions two strategies of re-nutrition of children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) aged from 6 to 24 months, targeting the microbiota in comparison with a standard regimen. A three-arm, open-label, pragmatic randomised trial was conducted in four countries (Niger, CAR, Senegal and Madagascar). Children received for 12 weeks either fortified blended flour (FBF control) = arm …

Differences in wasting assessment through Middle‐Upper Arm Circumference ( Muac ) adjusted by sex, age and geographic origin for children aged 6–59 months: New reference based on anthropometric survey…
OBJECTIVES: The Middle Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) bracelet is a widely used instrument in public health assessments and humanitarian assistance projects. The WHO guidelines present a universal cut-off point of 115 mm to determine whether a child has severe acute malnutrition. The objective of this study is to analyze the existing differences in the MUAC for boys and girls aged between 6 and 59 months, from 22 countries distributed in three di…
Effectiveness and Coverage of Treatment for Severe Acute Malnutrition Delivered by Community Health Workers in the Guidimakha Region, Mauritania
Geographical and economic access barriers to health facilities (HF) have been identified as some of the most important causes of the low coverage of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treatment. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness and coverage of SAM treatment delivered by community health workers (CHWs) in the Guidimakha region in Mauritania, compared to the HF based approach. This study was a nonrandomized controlled trial, …
Museus virtuais e gamearte: Sobrevivências da arte em Assassin’s Creed 2
O artigo discorre sobre a reprodução de obras de arte renascentista no jogo Assassin’s Creed 2, relacionando o uso da estratégia de desafio para induzir o jogador a fazer um processo semelhante ao proposto por Aby Warburg. Esta relação é construída à luz de conceitos como gamearte e arte para games , de forma a avaliar a pertinência da experiência artística do jogo digital. Assim, busca-se evidenciar como a alta qualidade das reproduções gráficas…
The Conspiracy of the Good: Proclus’ Theodicy qua Political Theological Paradigm
Giorgio Agamben, Dotan Leshem and Adam Kotsko have sought Christian origins of neoliberal governance. By developing a genealogical project, they have overlooked the theodicy of the Neoplatonist Proclus, which provides a more robust analogy to the neoliberal order than any Christian system. My paper develops Proclus’ theodicy as a political theological paradigm, with special attention to the divine engineering of vice by the gods in his system. In…
Humanidade e crítica de Harun Farocki
Este artigo apresenta o resultado de uma investigação sobre o documentário do cineasta Harun Farocki, Imagens da prisão, e identifica seis conjuntos de imagens recorrentes que foram organizados em blocos temáticos: "Corpo disciplinado", "Corpo oprimido", "Corpo vigiado", "A tecnologia como instrumento de dessubjetivação", "Trabalho e prisão" e "O desejo". Essa estruturação permitiu uma compreensão do seu pensamento poético e intelectual, evidenci…
Describing the children's body shape by means of Geometric Morphometric techniques
INTRODUCTION: Large shape variations take place during the growth process of children, including quantitative mass and size increase plus qualitative changes in their body shape. The aim of the present study is to apply Geometric Morphometric techniques in order to visualize and quantify such body shape differences in healthy children aged 6-59 months with optimal nutritional status. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anthropometrical measurements of weight,…
The tourism and local development in world heritage context. The case of the Mayan site of Palenque, Mexico
This article discusses the effects of tourism on local development in the context of World Heritage sites. The ‘Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque’ in Mexico will be used as a case study, with especial attention on local Indigenous communities. It analyses the use of ‘World Heritage’ as a brand for tourism promotion and expected tourism growth, and the changes in the role of the Indigenous peoples in archaeology and UNESCO policies. …
Influências da herança romântica na formação do artista
O artigo apresenta algumas características da concepção romântica que ainda exercem influência nos processos identitários de construção da imagem de ser artista na contemporaneidade. Traça um histórico destas características indicando a permanência destes como consequência das poucas modificações no modelo político e econômico cujas raízes se encontram na revolução francesa ao tempo em que aponta sua contribuição na contemporaneidade

Considerações sobre a visão mística na arte
O artigo apresenta uma síntese sobre a influência da visão mística na arte tecendo considerações sobre as influências do pensamento hermético, pitagórico, platônico, aristotélico, gnóstico e neoplatônico ao longo da cultura ocidental. O autor procura evidenciar o vigor da mística como um componente constante da visão artística, que ainda que secularizada pode ser identificada na produção contemporânea
