Les milices chiites irakiennes se sont mobilisées rapidement après la déroute de l’armée irakienne face à Daech en 2014. Elles minimisent le rôle joué par les États-Unis dans les reculs actuels de l’organisation djihadiste. Elles entendent peser sur l’avenir de l’Irak, et investissent notamment le champ de l’éducation. Ces milices sont loin d’être unifiées. Si certaines ont des affiliations très c
Palestinian citizens of Israel (also known as Palestinians of 1948) have largely been excluded from analyses on Palestinian political economy and on discussions of Israeli capitalism. This chapter seeks to address this invisibility. Palestinians in Israel face conditions of settler colonialism and neoliberalism that may be distinct from Palestinians elsewhere, yet their history and indigenous stat
À la veille de la conférence de révision du Traité de non-prolifération nucléaire (TNP) en avril 2020, la question nucléaire au Moyen-Orient reste un défi à relever. Les discussions qui ont eu lieu lors des réunions préparatoires traduisent des tensions continues concernant la clause adoptée en 1995 qui prévoit l’établissement d’une zone exempte d’armes nucléaires au Moyen-Orient. Cette clause con
We demonstrate the construction and utilization of an affordable apparatus using readily available materials to accurately measure in a quantitative manner the wavelengths reflected by a compact disc (CD) under skimming light rays. In fact, only a limited number of wavelengths can be revealed when light rays from a white lamp are directed at a CD (or a DVD) in a manner that specifically selects th
Monitoring the microstructure and damage development of fibre-reinforced composites during loading is crucial to understanding their mechanical properties. Time-resolved X-ray computed tomography enables such an in-situ, non-destructive study. However, the photon flux and fibre-matrix contrast limit its achievable spatial and temporal resolution. In this paper, we push the limits of temporal and s
BACKGROUND: Both myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and exercise ECG (Ex-ECG) carry prognostic information in patients with stable chest pain. However, it is not fully understood if combining the findings of MPS and Ex-ECG improves risk prediction. Current guidelines no longer recommend Ex-ECG for diagnostic evaluation of chronic coronary syndrome, but Ex-ECG cou
We investigated the relationship between hs-CRP, a marker of low-grade inflam-mation, alone or in combination with C-peptide, a marker of hyperinsulinemia/ insulin resistance, and risk for cardiovascular events (CVEs) and mortality in patients recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In patients with recent-onset T2D, we measured serum hs-CRP (n = 7,301) and C-pep
Hjärntumörer är en av de vanligaste barncancerdiagnoserna och många som överlever drabbas av sömnstörningar efteråt. Tumörens läge i hjärnan, tillsammans med vilken behandling man får, påverkar hur stor risken är. Det finns dock även andra faktorer som påverkar, och övervikt hos barnet är den enskilt största riskfaktorn för sömnsvårigheter.
The governance of public climate finance for mitigation and adaptation in developing countries is fragmented on both the international and national levels, with a high diversity of actors with overlapping mandates, preferences, and areas of expertise. In the absence of one unifying actor or institution, coordination among actors has emerged as a response to this fragmentation. In this article, we
The mammary gland is a dynamic organ with various physiological processes like cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis during the pregnancy-lactation-involution cycle. It is essential to understand the molecular changes during the lactogenic differentiation of mammary epithelial cells (MECs, the milk-synthesizing cells). The MECs are organized as luminal milk-secreting cells and bas
