Further studies on associations between leprosy and genetic markers in human serum.

1973

Seven serum proteins were typed on a sample of 910 individuals from Angola, Africa. The sample consisted of both leprosy patients and healthy controls from the same geographical area. Significant associations with leprosy were found for the Hp and Pi systems. The results are discussed.

Polymorphism of C'3 in German, Bulgarian, Iranian and Angola population

1973

Using agarose gel electrophoresis, C'3 was typed in 4 populations. The gene frequencies of the common allele C'3S in these 4 populations were Germans (0.8071), Bulgarians (0.8149), Iranians (0.7920) and Angola (0.9532). The results are discussed.

Serological prevalence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Luanda (Angola): Geospatial distribution and its association with socio-demographic and …

2020

We report a study on toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Luanda, Angola, determining the seroprevalence, geospatial distribution and its association with socio-economic features, dietary habits and hygiene and health conditions. Anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG and IgM were quantified in serum samples of women attended at the Lucrecia Paim Maternity Hospital between May 2016 and August 2017. The IgG avidity test and qPCR assay were used for dating the primary infection. Data were collected by questionnaire after written consent, and spatial distribution was assessed through a Kernel Density Function. The potential risk factors associated with Toxoplasma infection were evaluated using bivariate and…

Studies on the Australia antigen

1972

Australia antigen typings on leprosy and control samples from West Bengal (India) and Angola (Africa) showed a considerably higher incidence of this antigen in lepromatous lepers as compared with other types of this disease resp. controls. By this the findings of Blumberg et al. (1967) in the Philippines could be confirmed. The possible reasons for this observations are discussed.

A review of carbonatitic magmatism in the Parana-Angola-Namibia (PAN) system.

2007

Mesozoic to Cenozoic alkaline-carbonatitic complexes from southern Brazil, Angola and Namibia occur along main tectonic lineaments. In general, the alkaline-carbonatite complexes show intrusive/subintrusive, subcircular or oval shaped structures and are indicative of high upwelling energy. Processes of liquid immiscibility from trachytic-phonolitic liquids, starting from parental alkaline mafic magmas are believed to have generated carbonatitic liquids, as suggested by field relationships and geochemical characteristics. Ca-, Mg- and Fe-carbonatites are widespread even in the same complex. The occurrences comprise three main chronogroups, i.e. 1) Early Cretaceous (Eastern Paraguay; Brazil, …

Predicting perceived health in Angolan elderly: The moderator effect of being oldest old

2012

The objective of this study was to test the predicting effects of variables measuring social support, dependence/active perceptions, and generativity, on this facet of well-being when controlled for socio-demographic variables (age, gender, marital status, and institutionalization). The research tries to extend previous literature by assessing them in a multivariate context, studying differential effects of these variables in young old and oldest old, and offering evidence of the scarcely studied population of Angola. The sample was formed by 737 young old and 266 oldest old. It was built a hierarchical regression, in which, among the different predictors, interactions effects between age a…

Consecuencias del desempleo en la salud mental de una muestra de jóvenes angoleños

2017

espanolEntre los efectos del desempleo en la salud mental, destacan problemas de confianza, depresion y perdida de recursos psicosociales. El objetivo es investigar las variables atenuantes del estres sobre la salud mental en desempleados jovenes angolenos mediante un modelo estructural con variables latentes. Se probaron los efectos del apoyo social, la resiliencia y las estrategias de afrontamiento sobre la salud mental, controlando por los efectos de ser economicamente suficiente. Para poner a prueba este modelo se ha contado con una muestra de 283 angolenos con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 30 anos. El modelo se estimo en EQS 5.7. Los resultados indican un ajuste adecuado del modelo. E…

LAS REFORMAS INSTITUCIONALES COMO MEDIO DE FORTALECIMIENTO DE LA DEMOCRACIA, Y COMO COMBATE CONTRA LA CORRUPCIÓN Y LA IMPUNIDAD: UNA CONTRIBUCIÓN PAR…

2019

Es común ver regímenes dictatoriales o conflictos armados, o ambos, repetidos en el mismo país. Esto nos invita a iniciar una reflexión sobre la necesidad de demostrar que la implementación y puesta en marcha de una agenda de "transición política" debe centrarse en la seriedad y en el tipo de reformas institucionales a adoptar, ya que se trata de medidas importantes y elementales para garantizar el fortalecimiento del Estado de Derecho, la reconstrucción del Estado, la reconciliación nacional, la consolidación democrática y las respectivas instituciones, que permitan superar el legado autoritario o el conflicto armado que ha vivido una sociedad. Es evidente que cuando hablamos del país que …

Family relations, parents’ educational practices, and Angolan adolescents’ values

2017

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido triple. Primero, analizar las propiedades psicométricas los instrumentos utilizados para evaluar la percepción de las Relaciones familiares, la Socialización familiar y los Valores de los adolescentes angoleños. Segundo, predecir los Valores de los adolescentes a partir de las Relaciones familiares y la Socialización familiar. Tercero, analizar las diferencias de valores de los adolescentes según el sexo. Para ello, 917 adolescentes (384 varones, 533 mujeres) de 14 a 17 años (M = 15.68; DT = 1.06) completaron versiones portuguesas de los instrumentos antes señalados. Una vez analizadas las propiedades psicométricas de los instrumentos, se desarro…
