13. Yorubanidade mundializada: o reinado da oralitura em textos yorubá-nigerianos e afro-baianos contemporâneos.
The present thesis takes as its point of departure the concept of a mundialized yoruba identity, referred to as Yorubanidade. This concept was defined as the spirit of ethnic, ideological, political, symbolic, cultural and religious belonging to the so-called Yoruba Atlantic Complex, a world in which predominates the world-view as well as the philosophy of l

14. Poesia negra das AmÃricas: Solano Trindade e Langston Hughes
This thesis gives priority to the black poetry study of the Brazilian poet Solano Trindade (1908-1974) and of the north American poet Langston Hughes (1902-1967). My research also visits other poetsâ works such as Countee Cullen (in the United States) and the Caribbean poets NicolÃs GuillÃn (from Cuba), Aimà CÃsaire (from Maritinica) and some Brazilian

16. African-American culture and AIDS prevention. From barrier to ally.
African Americans make up an increasing proportion of persons with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). I identify and describe cultural elements such as oral traditions, multiple naming, a collective identity, extended families, and sexuality influenced by myth and exaggeration that condition African Americans' reactions to AIDS prevention. I also

17. Genetic Relationships and Evolution of Genotypes of Yellow Fever Virus and Other Members of the Yellow Fever Virus Group within the Flavivirus Genus Based on the 3′ Noncoding Region
Genetic relationships among flaviviruses within the yellow fever (YF) virus genetic group were investigated by comparing nucleotide sequences of the 3′ noncoding region (3′NCR). Size heterogeneity was observed between members and even among strains of the same viral species. Size variation between YF strains was due to duplications and/or deletions of re

18. Monoclonal antibodies of African swine fever virus: antigenic differences among field virus isolates and viruses passaged in cell culture.
An analysis of the binding properties of a collection of monoclonal antibodies to African swine fever virus particles showed that virus field isolates passaged in porcine macrophages changed antigenically more than a strain of a cell-adapted virus passaged in Vero cells. From seven clones isolated from the spleen of a field-infected pig, we found four clones

19. The effect of values and culture on life-support decisions.
Withdrawing life support is always difficult. When patients and health professionals are from different ethnic backgrounds, value systems that form the basis for such decisions may conflict. Many cultural groups do not place the same emphasis on patient autonomy and self-determination that Western society does and find the idea of terminating life support of

20. PCR Detection of North American and Central African Isolates of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (EHDV) Based on Genome Segment 10 of EHDV Serotype 1
PCR amplification technology for the detection of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) ribonucleic acid in cell culture and clinical specimens was developed. With oligoribonucleotide primers selected from genome segment 10 of EHDV serotype 1 (EHDV-1), which codes for two nonstructural proteins (NS3 and NS3a), the PCR-based assay resulted in a 535-bp PC

21. Surface marker characteristics and Epstein-Barr virus studies of two established North American Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines.
Tumor cell lines have been established in continuous culture from two North American Burkitt's lymphomas. The SU-AmB-1 line, derived from a patient with low serum antibody titers to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), was devoid of EBV genomes by the reaction for EBV-associated nuclear antigen (EBNA), could not be induced to express EBV antigens, and was highly refrac

22. Recurrent Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections among HIV-Infected Persons: Incidence and Risk Factors
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are well described among the general population, but little is known regarding the incidence of and predictors for recurrent CA-MRSA infections among HIV-infected persons. We retrospectively evaluated HIV-infected patients seen at the Naval Medical Center San Diego from Jan
