Low-Grade Sulfadoxine–Pyrimethamine Resistance In
Kaingona‑Daniel et al. Malar J (2016) 15:309 DOI 10.1186/s12936-016-1358-7 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Low‑grade sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine resistance in Plasmodium falciparum parasites from Lubango, Angola Elsa P. S. Kaingona‑Daniel1,2,3,7, Larissa Rodrigues Gomes1,2,7, Bianca E. Gama1,4, Natália K. Almeida‑de‑Oliveira1,2,7, Filomeno Fortes5,7, Didier Ménard6, Cláudio Tadeu Daniel‑Ribeiro1,2,7 and Maria de Fátima Ferreira‑da‑Cruz1,2,7* Abstract Background: Malaria is a major parasitic disease, affecting millions of people in endemic areas. Plasmodium falcipa- rum parasites are responsible for the most severe cases and its resistance to anti-malarial drugs is notorious. This is a possible obstacle to the effectiveness of intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) based on sulfadoxine–pyrimeth‑ amine (SP) cures administrated to pregnant women (IPTp) during their pregnancy. As this intervention is recom‑ mended in Angola since 2006, it has assessed, in this country, the molecular profiles in P. falciparum dhfr and dhps, two polymorphic genes associated to pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine resistance, respectively. Methods: Blood samples from 52 falciparum patients were collected in Lubango, Angola and pfdhfr and pfdhps polymorphisms were analysed using nested-PCR and DNA sequencing. Results: In the pfdhfr gene, the 108N mutation was almost fixed (98 %), followed by 59R (63 %), 51I (46 %), 50R and 164L (2 %, respectively). No 16V/S mutations were found. The most common double mutant genotype was CNRN (59 108; 46 %), followed by CICN (51 108; 29 %) whereas IRN (51 59 108; 15 %), CNRNVL (59 108 164; 2 %)+ and RICN (50 51 108; 2 %) triple+ mutant genotypes were detected.+ + Investigations of the pfdhps+ gene+ showed that the 437+G mutation+ was the most prevalent (97 %). -

Inventário Florestal Nacional, Guia De Campo Para Recolha De Dados
Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão. -
Tell Me Still, Angola the False Thing That Is Dystopia
https://doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.v26i55.47864 Tell me Still, Angola the False Thing that is Dystopia Solange Evangelista Luis a ABSTRACT José Luis Mendonça’s book Angola, me diz ainda (2017) brings together poems from the 1980s to 2016, unveiling a constellation of images that express the unfulfilled utopian Angolan dream. Although his poems gravitate around his personal experiences, they reflect a collective past. They can be understood as what Walter Benjamin called monads: historical objects (BENJAMIN, 2006, p. 262) based on the poet’s own experiences, full of meaning, emotions, feelings, and dreams. Through these monadic poems, his poetry establishes a dialogue with the past. The poet’s dystopic present is that of an Angola distanced from the dream manifested in the insubmissive poetry of Agostinho Neto and of the Message Generation, which incited decolonization through a liberation struggle and projected a utopian new nation. Mendonça revisits Neto’s Message Generation and its appeal to discover Angola: unveiling a nation with a broken dream and a dystopic present, denouncing a future that is still to come. The poet’s monads do not dwell on dystopia but wrestle conformism, fanning the spark of hope (BENJAMIN, 2006, p. 391). They expose what Adorno named the false thing (BLOCH, 1996, p. 12), sparking the longing for something true: reminding the reader that transformation is inevitable. Keywords: Angolan Literature. José Luís Mendonça. Lusophone African Literature. Dystopia. Walter Benjamin.

ANGOLA FOOD SECURITY UPDATE July 2003
ANGOLA FOOD SECURITY UPDATE July 2003 Highlights The food security situation continues to improve in parts of the country, with the overall number of people estimated to need food assistance reduced by four percent in July 2003 relieving pressure on the food aid pipeline. The price of the least-expensive food basket also continues to decline after the main harvest, reflecting an improvement in access to food. According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the results of both the latest nutritional surveys as well as the trend analysis on admissions and readmissions to nutritional rehabilitation programs indicate a clear improvement in the nutritional situation of people in the provinces considered at risk (Benguela, Bie, Kuando Kubango). However, the situation in Huambo and Huila Provinces still warrants some concern. Household food stocks are beginning to run out just two months after the main harvest in the Planalto area, especially for the displaced and returnee populations. In response to the current food crisis, relief agencies in Angola have intensified their relief efforts in food insecure areas, particularly in the Planalto. More than 37,000 returnees have been registered for food assistance in Huambo, Benguela, Huila and Kuando Kubango. The current food aid pipeline looks good. Cereal availability has improved following recent donor contributions of maize. Cereal and pulse projections indicate that total requirements will be covered until the end of October 2003. Since the planned number of beneficiaries for June and July 2003 decreased by four percent, it is estimated that the overall availability of commodities will cover local food needs until end of November 2003. -
Porto Amboim | Angola PAENAL Fabrication Yard
Porto Amboim | Angola PAENAL fabrication yard PAENAL, Porto Amboim Estaleiros Navais Limitada, is a joint venture between SONANGOL and SBM. The new construction yard will provide the working area required to build offshore structures and will allow for the transformation of former Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) to Floating Production Storage Offloading vessels (FPSOs), to support the country’s rapidly developing offshore oil industry. The PAENAL fabrication yard is located on the Enseada de Benguela Velha beach site located in the Kwanza Sul province, on the Atlantic shoreline of Angola. The site is approximately 3 km south of Porto Amboim, around 220 km south of Luanda. This new yard is being developed in three distinct phases. Each phase will increase the capacity of the yard, which will comprise at the end a 460 m long 8.00 29.50 quay wall and a 630 m breakwater for berthing of Sonangol product tankers Gravel +4.00 in replacement of the offloading CBM +2.00 terminal presently located at the Tie rod - ø 62 mm +1.40 +1.20 (MSL) ±0.00 selected site.
