Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: As mentioned in the introduction, Racine and D'Amour have described all identities for Kn, n < 5. In our research we began at n = 5, and immediately found that 8 is the minimal degree, and that there is a large space of identities for degree 8. More precisely, a space of degree 8 multilinear identities for K5 was computed and it has dimension 1756. A character for this space was also computed and it involves, in its decomposition into irreducible characters, all but 4 of S8's irreducible characters. Our next step was to look into this massive space for "simple" identities: identities that may be written in a closed form. We knew by [R1] that s8 should be present (and we verified that it is), so we next went looking (1.4) for PI's alternating not in all 8 variables (like s8) but alternating in 6 variables and symmetric in 2. We discovered that there is a space of dimension 6 for this type, and we also found a space of dimension 6 for the K4 (PI's alternating in 4 variables, symmetric in 2) and K6 (PI's alternating in 8 variables, symmetric in 2) cases. We found similarities between these last two spaces, and from this we were able to conjecture the family of polynomials for Kn described in 2.1. This conjecture has been verified (via Lemma 1.4.1) for n < 7, and we have proofs (see above, and also [DR]) for n < 5. PI's involving only 2 variables are also "simple", so we looked at those as well. We found that K5 does indeed have PI's of this type, and we were able to first find them (1.4) and then obtain a characterization (2.2). We then repeated these computations for K 6 and found that K 6 does not satisfy any 2-variable identities.

description: In my dissertation, I have studied three memoirs of trauma published within and following the MeToo Movement: Roxane Gay’s Hunger, Chanel Miller’s Know My Name, and Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House. I have found that, by employing creative, unsettling, and accusatory features in their memoirs, survivors can cultivate empathetic literary witnessing, adding their stories to the archives of the MeToo Movement and, further, transforming the very grounds of these archives to attest to differential struggles for sexual justice. Within my analysis, I move from the global circulation of Emily Doe’s Victim Impact Statement in 2016, to Alyssa Milano’s viral 2017 #MeToo tweet, to Tarana Burke’s 2021 memoir and finally, to the movement’s future possibilities. These future possibilities include survivors using long-form sexual trauma narratives to cultivate empathy and to direct audiences to resolve additional interrelated forms of structural oppression, including racism, colonialism, and fatphobia. These three texts have guided me in thinking through race and gender in relation to witnessing, and in attending to challenges faced overwhelmingly by women of color, which range from the historical state-sanctioned denial of Black women’s subjectivity to the aestheticizing of Asian women’s pain.
description: To enrich my analysis, I bring together several strands of criticism and theory that center discursive portrayals of trauma as opportunities for navigating—and reimagining—subjectivity and for contextualizing trauma within survivors’ complex identities beyond those instances of sexual violence. By going public with their testimony, these memoirists have faced burdens of doubt, victim-blaming, and public disregard of their trauma—all heightened by their intersecting marginalized identities. However, by engaging the memoir form’s audiences, its opportunities for creative narrativization of trauma, and broad public interest in the MeToo Movement, these memoirists find testimonial agency in reclaiming their traumatic stories on their own terms and lay groundwork for other survivors to pursue similar endeavors.

description: Beginning with the Zheltkosan (December) events of 1986, a confluence of factors set the Kazakhs and the Western Shoshone on a collision course that converged in a trans-Indigenous antinuclear alliance against their nuclear colonial oppressors. By August 1991, this alliance had successfully closed the Semipalatinsk Test Site—the Soviet equivalent of the Nevada Test Site, and by December, the U.S.S.R. disbanded. Without a credible Soviet threat or antagonism, activists in the US pressed Congress to end nuclear weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site. Following the closure of Semipalatinsk, the year before, the United States halted its own nuclear weapons testing program in 1992, effectively bringing an end to the nuclear Cold War. Soviet officials have repeatedly credited the Nevada movement in their decision to halt the U.S.S.R.’s nuclear weapons testing program, yet, few outside of Kazakhstan know of this movement’s existence, let alone the Western Shoshone’s role within it.
description: Through a trans-Indigenous examination of archival material documenting the cultural knowledge and rituals exchanged between Western Shoshone and Kazakh activists, I delineate the origins of this historic trans-Indigenous activism, as well as the joint strategies, tactics, and discourses employed by both, to end nuclear weapons testing in their respective homelands. I argue that nuclearism is an imperial/colonial construct that cannot be separated from the colonial or imperial apparatuses that reinforce it. The trans-Indigenous methods used in this study uniquely foreground the colonial dimensions of nuclearism that lie at the heart of nuclear colonialism—dimensions, which I argue, are obscured in non-Indigenous studies of the antinuclear movement. Furthermore, this study of transnational antinuclear activism enables us to see how Indigenous peoples have organized across vast distances and cultural divides to resist settler colonialism.

Comparative design of reinforced concrete shear walls.

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: Code provisions for the determination of earthquake loads are intended to give reasonable estimate of the lateral forces that occur on a building as a result of an earthquake. Two major steps can be described in the procedure: the calculation of the base shear based on both the characteristics of the earthquake and the building, and the distribution of the base shear over the stories and the resisting earthquake elements of the building. Reinforced concrete ductile shear walls are the earthquake resisting elements considered in this study. Code provisions for the design of reinforced concrete ductile shear walls are intended to provide adequate reinforcement details and concrete strength to permit inelastic response under major earthquakes without critical damage or collapse. The objective of this study is to provide, using an assumed building in Victoria, British Columbia, detailed description of the design procedures used by different design codes, and to compare the results obtained on the earthquake loads determination and on the reinforcement details provided to the shear walls. The NBCC-1995 and the IBC-2000 design code procedures were used to determine the earthquake design loads in Chapter 2, and the ACI318-99, the CSA-1995 and the NZS-1995 were used to design a reinforced concrete shear wall in Chapter 3. Comparative conclusions are presented Chapter 4. Generally, design of reinforced concrete shear walls using Canadian, American, and New Zealand provisions should be done based on the earthquake loads obtained from code provisions of Canada, the United States, and New Zealand, namely the comprehensive provisions of NBCC-1995/CSA23.3-94, IBC-200/ACI318-99, and NZS:3101:1995 respectively. However, it was necessary in this study to use the same loads in the different reinforced concrete shear wall design procedures in order to make comparative conclusions more effective. Therefore, the earthquake loads obtained from NBCC-1995 provisions were exclusively used to do the three different design procedures of reinforced concrete design using the code provisions of ACI318-99, CSA23.3-94, and NZS:3101:part 1:1995 respectively. The choice was based on the fact that the location of the building is in Canada. The fundamental assumptions that were made in this study include that: the building, described in Section 2.2, is be braced by reinforced concrete ductile shear wall systems, which means that the shear walls resisting system will resist 100% of the lateral forces resulting from an earthquake. The shear wall considered in the design has adequate foundation able to transmit 100% of all structural actions to the ground.
A comparative study of hypernymic patterns for knowledge extraction.

description: Emerging semi-automatic knowledge extraction tools make it possible for terminologists to efficiently locate contexts in text that illustrate the meaning and usage of terms. Semi-automatic knowledge extraction makes use of a pre-programmed set of linguistic structures (patterns) which frequently show relationships between concepts. This thesis contributes to the linguistic research on patterns that is needed for tool development. More specifically, this thesis focuses on the patterns for one specific relation: hyperonymy. The research involved two comparative studies of hypernymic patterns, one intra-linguistic (French) and the other inter-linguistic (French-English). The first study involved discovering French patterns in two separate domains, and comparing their nature and frequency between domains. The second study involved comparing the stylistic differences between the French patterns discovered and a pre-existing set of English patterns. This research has revealed that comparative linguistic research on hypernymic patterns can provide useful information for developing terminological knowledge extraction tools.
Broadcasting in wireless networks.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This work examines the problem of providing reliable broadcast delivery of messages with minimal communication overhead in wireless networks. We consider two types of communication for broadcasting: one-to-all (the classical form of broadcasting where each node forwards the message to all its neighbours with one transmission) and one-to-one (each transmission forwards the message to only one neighbour at a time). We propose to reduce the communication overhead involved in both these forms of broadcasting by applying the concept of internal nodes. We simulate and analyze the performance of a family of three algorithms we propose for the one-to-all model using internal nodes. Neighbour elimination is used to reduce redundant rebroadcasts, and reliability is almost guaranteed with the introduction of RANA (Retransmission after negative acknowledgement). For the one-to-one model, in addition to applying the internal nodes concept, three additional algorithms P-broadcast, IP-broadcast and PI-broadcast are proposed based on the concept of planar subgraphs such as RNG (relative neighbourhood graphs). We compare the relative performance of these proposed approaches against those presented in literature. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
An analysis of variations in public health nursing referral management and its application to workload measurement.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: The study was designed to answer questions about the amount of professional time required to manage the referrals made to the Ottawa-Carleton Health Department for public health nursing service to individuals and families. The basic assumption of the study was that variation in referral management time would be shown to be the product of both client-centred and provider-centred factors. The study design was both descriptive and exploratory in nature. The study population consisted of 1143 clients referred for public health nursing service during the latter months of 1987. To collect the necessary information, a data collection system was devised in which public health nurses recorded the amount of time they spent providing service for each new case. Based on the study results, modifications were proposed to the weighting system which had been used to predict the referral management component of the public health nursing workload.

Phosphorus-31 and deuterium solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the headgroup conformation of phosphonolipids in biological and model membranes.

description: Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques were applied to the study of the phase behavior and to the determination of the headgroup conformation of phosphonolipids, both natural and synthetic. The results are compared with those for analogous phospholipids in biological and model membranes. $\sp{31}$P NMR was used to characterize the phase behavior of phospho- and phosphonolipids present in polar and total lipid extracts of the protozoa Tetrahymena thermophila. The $\sp{31}$P NMR spectra of aqueous dispersions of polar and total lipids consist in the partial superposition of two powder patterns, one for each phosphorus-containing lipid class. At low temperature, both lipid extracts give rise to lineshapes characteristic of the lamellar structure. Spectra of the polar lipids show that between 15 and 40$\sp\circ$C, a broad, reversible transition from bilayer to hexagonal phase takes place. On the other hand, the phase behavior for total lipids is different: no hexagonal phase is formed, the lipids remain in the bilayer phase at a higher temperature, and a transition to an isotropic phase occurs between 35 and 40$\sp\circ$C, which is not easily reversible. A large proportion of ethanolamine-containing lipids, both phosphate and phosphonate analogs, is responsible for the hexagonal phase formation observed with the polar lipids. When neutral lipids are present with the polar lipids, the bilayer is stabilized up to a higher temperature. One of the neutral lipid components, tetrahymanol, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, is believed to be responsible for this stabilization. The results show that the conformation of the headgroup up to the phosphorus atom is very similar in phospho- and phosphonolipids, i.e. the C2-C3-O-P torsion angle is nearly trans and the C3-O-P-C1 angle variable over the range of values investigated, with a bend at the phosphorus atom. Contrary to the phosphodiester moiety in analogous phospholipids which adopts a gauche-gauche conformation, two solutions for the next torsion angle O-P-C1-C2 were found around 100 and 130$\sp\circ$. The last segment P-C1-C2-N is nearly trans, whereas the corresponding O-C1-C2-N segment in phospholipids is gauche. Despite the differences in the torsion angle values, the overall appearance of the headgroup is similar for both phospho- and phosphonolipids. The headgroup first extends out of the bilayer plane, bending at the phosphorus atom and the terminal portion lies nearly parallel to the membrane surface. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: The immunoproteasome (iP) represents a specialized type of proteasomes, which plays an important role in the clearance of oxidant-damaged proteins under inflammatory and pathological conditions determining the outcome of various diseases. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like APPPS1 mice Aβ-deposition is paralleled by iP upregulation, most likely mediated through type I interferon induction. To define the impact of increased iP expression we crossed APPPS1 mice with mice deficient in the iP subunit LMP7 resulting in impaired iP function. While LMP7 deficient APPPS1 mice showed no major change in cerebral Aβ-pathology, we observed an altered cytokine response in microglia isolated from LMP7 deficient APPPS1 mice compared to LMP7 expressing APPPS1 control mice. The altered microglial cytokine profile upon iP deficiency in the presence of extracellular Aβ-pathology was associated with an improvement of Aβ-associated cognitive deficits typically present in APPPS1 mice. Our findings suggest a role for iP in the regulation of the innate immune response towards extracellular Aβ-pathology and indicate that inhibition of iP function can modulate the cognitive phenotype upon overexpression of Aβ.

Developing a Level of Service (LOS) Index for Operational Management of Public Buildings

description: Even though there is a large body of knowledge related to buildings, only a limited number of examples with a focus on asset management exist in published literature. More importantly, current literature lacks rating systems that support tactical and operational management of building infrastructure. This paper addresses the aforementioned knowledge gap and building industry requirement by proposing an index for operational management of a public building using building level of service (LOS). In the context of buildings, LOS is defined as an assessment of the operational performance provided to building users, society, and the environment. A fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE)-based method was used to assess the LOS of buildings. First, key performance categories and indicators were defined for operating building performance assessment. Indicators and benchmarks were customized for an aquatic centre building. A case study was conducted to demonstrate the application of the LOS index. Results from this approach provides an assessment of the operational performance of the aquatic centre building with respect to nine LOS performance categories. Overall building LOS was evaluated as good for the three pseudo scenarios considered. The proposed LOS index facilitates asset management of public buildings by providing information for operational, tactical, and strategic decision making.
Taking a broader view of things: towards a transdisciplinary approach to cancer

description: Cancer is widely considered an abnormality that emerges from within the body and which must be destroyed and defeated. But we still do not know precisely how and why cancer starts, and while a ‘magic bullet’ cure has failed to materialize, those adopting a more pragmatic stance are increasingly arguing that if we cannot eradicate all cancer cells, we should look instead to look towards a ‘stalemate’ and find ways of managing cancer as a chronic disease. This article seeks to extend the reach of research in this field by taking a broader view and working towards a transdisciplinary approach in order to better understand cancer. First, we draw attention to obstacles that hinder progress in formulating new perspectives on cancer. Second, we ask why the genocentric approach to cancer remains dominant. One explanation is the legacy of Cartesian thinking. Third, we consider new ways of conceptualizing cancer so that it is not only a scientific object but also an object of life that has a framed existence within the body as part of a wider process of biological evolution. We draw on two key examples which highlight the importance of adopting a transdisciplinary approach: multi-drug resistance and cancer genomics.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Botany.

description: Current hypotheses of the phyletic relationships in the genus Festuca and generic segregates, as expressed in classification systems, were tested using molecular data (DNA restriction endonuclease site variation of the chloroplast and nuclear genomes). Taxa native or introduced to North America were used as exemplars for seven subgenera: Drymanthele, Subulatae, Subuliflorae, Obtusae, Schedonorus, Leucopoa sensu lato (sections Leucopoa and Breviaristatae) and Festuca; and four generic segregates: Leucopoa sensu stricto (section Leucopoa), Argillochloa, Vulpia and Lolium. Cladistic analysis of 67 shared, polymorphic chloroplast DNA restriction sites (11 endonucleases) indicated that Festuca and subgeneric taxa, as circumscribed in morphologically based classifications, are polyphyletic. Phenetic analysis of 108 polymorphic chloroplast DNA restriction sites (11 endonucleases) and nuclear ribosomal DNA restriction fragment patterns (12 endonucleases) supported the results of the cladistic analysis. Two main evolutionary lines were indicated within the genus Festuca as presently constructed. One contained the vast majority of the genus Festuca exemplars, including the subgenera Drymanthele, Subulatae, Subuliflorae, Obtusae and Festuca, as well as Vulpia, Argillochloa and subgenus Leucopoa section Breviaristatae. The other lineage included subgenus Schedonorus, subgenus Leucopoa section Leucopoa and the genus Lolium. Analyses support the recognition of four related genera in the two lineages, Vulpia and Festuca (including subgenus Leucopoa section Breviaristatae, and the subgenera Drymanthele, Subulatae, Subuliflorae, Obtusae, and Festuca) in one and Leucopoa sensu stricto (including only section Leucopoa) and Lolium (including Festuca subgenus Schedonorus) in the other, respectively. The recognition of the monotypic generic segregate Argillochloa (= Festuca dasyclada) is not supported by the analyses.

description: Disuse-induced muscle atrophy is a major concern in aging, in neuromuscular diseases, post-traumatic injury and in microgravity life sciences affecting health and fitness also of crew members in spaceflight. By using a laboratory analogue to body unloading we perform for the first time global gene expression profiling joined to specific proteomic analysis to map molecular adaptations in disused (60 days of bed rest) human soleus muscle (CTR) and in response to a resistive exercise (RE) countermeasure protocol without and with superimposed vibration mechanosignals (RVE). Adopting Affymetrix GeneChip technology we identified 235 differently transcribed genes in the CTR group (end- vs. pre-bed rest). RE comprised 206 differentially expressed genes, whereas only 51 changed gene transcripts were found in RVE. Most gene transcription and proteomic changes were linked to various key metabolic pathways (glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, lipid metabolism) and to functional contractile structures. Gene expression profiling in bed rest identified a novel set of genes explicitly responsive to vibration mechanosignals in human soleus. This new finding highlights the efficacy of RVE protocol in reducing key signs of disuse maladaptation and atrophy, and to maintain a close-to-normal skeletal muscle quality outcome following chronic disuse in bed rest.
Automated acquisition of technical concepts from unrestricted English text using noun phrase classification.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis describes an approach to acquire technical concepts from an English language free text without use of knowledge specific to the domain of expertise described in the text. Only syntactic knowledge and text statistics are used to classify each Noun Phrase in the text into one of five categories of technicality, from Technical to Not Technical. The algorithms devised and their performance are discussed. A secondary topic addressed in this thesis is syntactic category disambiguation. Because the Noun Phrase Classification module requires a Sentence Parser to extract the syntactic structure of each sentence in the text, the syntactic category (noun, verb, preposition, and so on) of each word must appear in the Sentence Parser's Word Dictionary. A syntactic category disambiguation module was designed so that whenever an unknown word (a word which is not defined in the Word Dictionary) is encountered in the text, the disambiguation module attempts to determine its syntactic category automatically using the categories of the neighbouring words with a bottom-up chart parser and text statistics.

Although his compositional output includes eleven works that feature the saxophone, Kareva’s music enjoys few performances and little recognition outside of Estonia.
description: This recording and accompanying paper are intended to serve as a resource for saxophonists world-wide to become familiar with Kareva and his works for saxophone. The recording is, to the author’s knowledge, the first to feature exclusively works written by Kareva for alto saxophone and piano. The accompanying paper aims to contextualize the recorded works within Kareva’s life and within the development of the concert saxophone repertoire.

description: Virtual reality is the computer-generated simulation of a real-world environment. For over 20 years, this technology has been used for health-related and rehabilitation purposes. The new generation of wireless gaming consoles has brought low-cost, easily accessible virtual environments to lounge rooms, physiotherapy clinics and aged care facilities. The purpose of this paper is to review the emerging literature on the use of active gaming technology (Nintendo Wii™) with older people. The results of a recent qualitative study on the acceptability and feasibility of implementing Wii™ in aged care settings will also be presented. As broadband-enabled healthcare expands and gaming technology advances, gaming consoles could be used for more than recreation. In addition to the potential health benefits, connecting older people to peers or health professionals in this way may be a strategy to counteract the social and physical isolation experienced by a growing number of those living in the community.
Operational window of single-mode optical fibers.

description: The purpose of this Ph.D. thesis is to define the design window of single-mode dispersion-unshifted fibers. This window, defined in the mode field diameter (MFD) and cutoff wavelength (lambda c) plot is determined by the fiber properties with regards to the chromatic dispersion, the bend loss sensitivity at 1550 nm and the modal noise penalty imposed on high speed operating systems. This has been achieved by developing numerical models used to analyze the properties of optical fibers. These models were used to calculate the propagation characteristics of optical fibers and from them their physical properties, such as the dispersion and bending loss of the fundamental mode. Similar programs, used in the calculations of the LP11 mode attenuation and bend performance, determined the fiber's modal noise sensitivity and from it the upper limit of cutoff wavelength.

description: Diffusivities for the binary system of H2-N2 and permeabilities of N2 were measured for seven types of porous material over the pressure range 0.2--7.0 atm. These measurements were made in both axial and radial directions to investigate the isotropy of pore properties. Diffusivities and permeabilities were related to pore size distribution determined independently by mercury penetration. The method of Wakao and Smith gave satisfactory agreement except for the Nickel Catalyst and Vycor glass. In addition, diffusivities and permeabilities were related to each other satisfactorily. The relative contribution of macropores and micropores to diffusion at various pressures has been studied. The results for two different carbon pellets indicate that the micropores of these materials consist of largely blind pores. In the case of a Molybdema Alumina Catalyst, the entire micropore volume contributes to diffusion. A pore model for Vycor glass has been proposed and controlling pore radius for this material calculated from the measured diffusivities.

description: Artist Anne Rinn takes the reader on an excursion to an indoor and outdoor artificial pond and stream mesocosm system. This device was constructed and put into operation in 2001 in order to carry out scientific investigations concerning the aquatic environment, with the main focus on fate and effects of pollutants. Both technical features of the facility and the work and ideas for scientists and technicians were translated by her into an art exhibition which also included a film. This report on the project consists of two different text parts, one by the third author, who is an aquatic toxicologist, and one by the second author, an art historian. Their different backgrounds are reflected in different thinking and styles of expression. The text is rounded off by the photos of the first author, the artist.Quelle: http://www.enveurope.com

description: This dissertation examined the anticipation of graduate education from three distinct lenses. The first two articles drew from a multi-institutional dataset of students at U.S. research universities to consider the socialization factors that predict different forms of graduate credential expectation, while the third article expanded theory on graduate school anticipatory socialization. The first article provided an examination of how LGBTQI students anticipate obtaining an array of postbaccalaureate credentials. It addressed the expectations for graduate school and predictors of graduate school expectations for disaggregated groups within the LGBTQI community. The second article conducted analyses predicting expectations for obtaining a law degree. That study also explored variation by undergraduate year, indicating differences between class-year cohorts related to pursuing graduate degrees and law degrees. The third article considered the interplay between self-authorship theory and socialization theory to inform future theorizing about the pursuit of graduate school; it recommended that self-authorship capacity be considered alongside other ‘input’ factors when seeking to understand the entry characteristics of prospective and new graduate students.

description: Heavy-duty vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) store the fuel in large onboard cylinders. Fast fill of depleted CNG cylinders is a common refueling method because it achieves refueling time comparable to liquid fuels. However, under-filling of CNG cylinders occurs during fast fill due to the recompression work of CNG in the cylinder that heats the fuel during the fill. The heated fuel has a lower density at the rated pressure, and thus less mass of CNG can be stored than if it was at ambient temperature. To increase the mass of dispensed CNG during fast fill, an active heat removal method is proposed. In this study, analytical and numerical models of the filling process of CNG into a Type-III cylinder with and without active heat removal are developed. In the analytical study, mass and energy conservation equations are coupled with an ideal-gas equation of state and orifice flow equations to predict the heat generation rates during fast fill. The influence of heat removal via a cooling coil inserted into the cylinder during fill on the dispensed mass and fill time is quantified. The analytical study is compared to numerical simulations employing a two-dimensional axisymmetric computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for unsteady, compressible turbulent flow in a Type-III cylinder with and without active heat removal. Dynamic average temperature, pressure and mass curves as well as the local temperature distribution in the cylinder are obtained at different time instances during the fill. The effect of the location of the heat removal coils is also investigated. The results of the analytical/numerical study illustrate the benefit of heat removal from the cylinder as a means of improving fast-fill efficiency in natural gas fueled heavy-duty vehicles.
La construction de la résistance à la mondialisation économique : le cas de l'AMI et de l'OMC.

description: Récemment, des manifestations contre la mondialisation économique se sont mises en branle et ne semblent vouloir s'estomper. Cette résistance manifeste se fait ressentir. Ce travail porte sur la résistance qui s'oppose à la mondialisation économique et sur les développements d'une telle mouvance sociale. Il est de notre avis que cette résistance, quoiqu'hétéroclite et fluide, converge progressivement en un seul interlocuteur. La thèse vise à identifier les dynamiques de la résistance à la mondialisation économique à l'aide des outils conceptuels, tirés des contributions théoriques sur la société civile, les mouvements sociaux et l'internationalisme, et appliqués à des cas concrets, notamment autour de trois moments: les événements entourant l'Accord multilatéral sur l'investissement (AMI), négocié au sein de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économique (OCDE); les événements qui caractérisent la période entre l'AMI et le Cycle du millénaire de l'OMC; le Cycle du millénaire à Seattle.

description: Background: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic vascular disorder and presents a main risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. In particular, hyperglycaemia and inflammatory cytokines induce vascular circulating tissue factor (TF) that promotes pro-thrombotic conditions in diabetes. It has recently become evident that alterations of the post-transcriptional regulation of TF via specific microRNA(miR)s, such as miR-126, contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. The endothelial miR-19a is involved in vascular homeostasis and atheroprotection. However, its role in diabetes-related thrombogenicity is unknown. Understanding miR-networks regulating procoagulability in diabetes may help to develop new treatment options preventing vascular complications. Methods and results: Plasma of 44 patients with known diabetes was assessed for the expression of miR-19a, TF protein, TF activity, and markers for vascular inflammation. High miR-19a expression was associated with reduced TF protein, TF-mediated procoagulability, and vascular inflammation based on expression of vascular adhesion molecule-1 and leukocyte count. We found plasma expression of miR-19a to strongly correlate with miR-126. miR-19a reduced the TF expression on mRNA and protein level in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) as well as TF activity in human monocytes (THP-1), while anti-miR-19a increased the TF expression. Interestingly, miR-19a induced VCAM expression in HMEC. However, miR-19a and miR-126 co-transfection reduced total endothelial VCAM expression and exhibited additive inhibition of a luciferase reporter construct containing the F3 3′UTR. Conclusions: While both miRs have differential functions on endothelial VCAM expression, miR-19a and miR-126 cooperate to exhibit anti-thrombotic properties via regulating vascular TF expression. Modulating the post-transcriptional control of TF in diabetes may provide a future anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory therapy.
