O paradoxo da transmissão familiar do poder

Num sistema político competitivo, a transmissão hereditária do poder é um fenômeno paradoxal. O discurso democrático é de fato meritocrático e implica numa separação das esferas privada e pública. No entanto, em alguns sistemas políticos competitivos, e sem transmissão hereditária legal, as famílias ocupam posições de poder por várias gerações. Embora central em algumas democracias, a dimensão familiar do poder político permanece relativamente inexplorada. Este objeto "não convencional" é abordado aqui a partir de estudos de caso no Sudeste Asiático (Índia), na França (Gironde e Nova Caledônia) e no Líbano. Todos esses exemplos levantam a questão da renovação das elites em antigas ou novas sociedades democráticas e nos convidam a pensar sobre as fronteiras - mais porosas do que parece - entre experiências democráticas, poliarquias e oligarquias

On the Dark Side of Therapies with Immunoglobulin Concentrates: The Adverse Events

Therapy by human immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrates is a success story ongoing for decades with an ever increasing demand for this plasma product. The success of IgG concentrates on a clinical level is documented by the slowly increasing number of registered indication and the more rapid increase of the off-label uses, a topic dealt with in another contribution to this special issue of Frontiers in Immunology. A part of the success is the adverse event (AE) profile of IgG concentrates which is, even at life-long need for therapy, excellent. Transmission of pathogens in the last decade could be entirely controlled through the antecedent introduction by authorities of a regulatory network and installing quality standards by the plasma fractionation industry. The cornerstone of the regulatory network is current good manufacturing practice. Non-infectious AEs occur rarely and mainly are mild to moderate. However, in recent times, the increase in frequency of hemolytic and thrombotic AEs raised worrying questions on the possible background for these AEs. Below, we review elements of non-infectious AEs, and particularly focus on hemolysis and thrombosis. We discuss how the introduction of plasma fractionation by ion-exchange chromatography and polishing by immunoaffinity chromatographic steps might alter repertoire of specificities and influence AE profiles and efficacy of IgG concentrates

Senegal’s Arabic literates : from transnational education to national linguistic and political activism

This article studies the role of the Arabophone community in postcolonial social and political transformations. More specifically, it focuses on the case of the Arabisants in Senegal. Forged through the mobility between the two shores of the Sahara, they are willing to emerge as a more visible political force since the 2000s. This article sheds light on Arabisants’ endeavours to participate in various forms of political advocacy. It demonstrates that they intend to stand as the political entrepreneurs of the Muslim community, to challenge the hegemony of Sufi Brotherhoods, and consequently, to challenge the state’s alliance with the Sufi orders. In so doing, Arabisants emerge as counter-elite in the public and political debate in Senegal

International audienceAt the midpoint of his first term, President Macky Sall went through a difficult time. The few achievements in the socio-economic field (falls in the price of staple foods and the cost of rent, the overfunding of the ‘Plan Sénégal Émergent’ (pse), and the revival of the peace process in Casamance) did not compensate for the disruptive return of former pr
