    Genève, projet pour une métropole transfrontalière

    No full text
    Depuis plus de trente ans, le capitalisme néolibéral façonne le territoire en s'appropriant le centre sans partage et en rejetant habitants et activités moins rentables en périphérie. Bien que caricatural, ce processus se lit parfaitement dans ce que nous appelons l'ancienne et la nouvelle Genève, celle qui se développe au-delà de la frontière. Notre but est de proposer un contre-projet aux plans officiels fondé sur deux principes: le droit à la ville pour tous et le territoire comme un bien commun. Nous présentons l'image un urbanisme de résistance et de rééquilibrage territorial afin de susciter le débat tant avec les mouvements qui luttent localement qu'avec tous ceux qui visent un développement cohérent et contemporain de la ville

    A highly virulent variant of HIV-1 circulating in the Netherlands.

    We discovered a highly virulent variant of subtype-B HIV-1 in the Netherlands. One hundred nine individuals with this variant had a 0.54 to 0.74 log <sub>10</sub> increase (i.e., a ~3.5-fold to 5.5-fold increase) in viral load compared with, and exhibited CD4 cell decline twice as fast as, 6604 individuals with other subtype-B strains. Without treatment, advanced HIV-CD4 cell counts below 350 cells per cubic millimeter, with long-term clinical consequences-is expected to be reached, on average, 9 months after diagnosis for individuals in their thirties with this variant. Age, sex, suspected mode of transmission, and place of birth for the aforementioned 109 individuals were typical for HIV-positive people in the Netherlands, which suggests that the increased virulence is attributable to the viral strain. Genetic sequence analysis suggests that this variant arose in the 1990s from de novo mutation, not recombination, with increased transmissibility and an unfamiliar molecular mechanism of virulence
