Globalisering og "forestillede verdener": En kvalitativ undersøgelse baseret på børnetegninger fra to landsbyer i Peru

Globalization and ’’Imagined Worlds’’: A Qualitative Study of Children’s Drawings from Two Villages in Peru Globalization is sometimes described in terms of flows delivering resources for the construction of virtual, global worlds. However, the relation between the presence of flows and the actual construction of new imagined worlds is often only assumed and lacks empirical exploration. By analysing drawings made by children in two settlements in Ayacucho, Peru this article initiates such an exploration. The children were asked to draw pictures of how they would like their community to be in the future, and they were interviewed about these drawings. Using an adapted form of Grounded Theory, the analysis “reads out“ an understanding of the children’s imagined communities. It shows that there were vast differences between the drawings from the two settlements. However, these differences cannot be related to the differences in the presence of television in the respective villages, and thus to a “global flow“, in one of the communities. This result questions the link between global flows and the construc-tion of imagined worlds. The article concludes by arguing for additional qualitative research on globalization

GLOBALISERING, SKALA-KONSTRUKTION OG SVINGENDE EKSISTENS En undersøgelse af internetbrug i Ayacucho, Peru

Diskussioner af globalisering indrammes ofte af en dikotomisk forståelse af relationen mellem ‘det lokale’ og ‘det globale’. Inden for SCIENCE-TECHNOLOGY-SOCIETY-studies reformuleres denne relation, og der sættes fokus på de sociale og materielle processer, som fører til konstruktionen af ‘det lokale’ og ‘det globale’. Under flere feltophold i Ayacucho, Peru har vi undersøgt, hvordan internetbrug indgår i aktiviteter, som implicerer konstruktionen af en skala, som har ‘lokal’ og ‘global’ som sine endepunkter. Ved hjælp af en sådan skala kan ayacuchanske internetbrugere markere afstand til områdets ‘lokaliserede’ historie og medborgere. Internetbrugernes ‘globaliserede’ identitet er dog ustabil og ‘svingende’ mellem ‘det lokale’ og ‘det globale’

Myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative malignancies occurring in the same patient:a nationwide discovery cohort

Myeloid and lymphoid malignancies are postulated to have distinct pathogenetic mechanisms. The recent observation that patients with a myeloproliferative neoplasm have an increased risk of developing lymphoproliferative malignancy has challenged this assumption. We collected a nationwide cohort of patients with both malignancies. Patients diagnosed in 1990-2015 were identified through the national Danish Pathology Registry. We identified 599 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm and a concomitant or subsequent diagnosis of lymphoma. Histopathological review of the diagnostic samples from each patient led to a final cohort of 97 individuals with confirmed dual diagnoses of myeloproliferative neoplasm and lymphoma. The age range at diagnosis was 19-94 years (median: 71 years). To avoid the inclusion of cases of therapy-induced myeloproliferative neoplasm occurring in patients previously treated for lymphoma, only patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm diagnosed unequivocally before the development of lymphoma were included. The average time interval between the diagnoses of the two malignancies was 1.5 years. In the majority of patients (90%) both diagnoses were established within 5 years from each other. Among the lymphoma entities, the frequency of peripheral T-cell lymphomas was markedly increased. Interestingly, all but one of the T-cell lymphomas were of angioimmunoblastic type. These findings suggest that myeloproliferative neoplasm and lymphoproliferative malignancy developing in the same patient may have common pathogenetic events, possibly already at progenitor level. We believe that the molecular characterization of the newly developed biorepository will help to highlight the mechanisms driving the genesis and clonal evolution of these hematopoietic malignancies
