Den Menschen immer wieder neu zu lesen, im Bewusstsein, dass er vielleicht völlig anders ist – dies ist das philosophische Credo von Simone Weil, die vor hundert Jahren geboren wurde. Sie befasste sich mit Fragen der religiösen Mystik und schrieb Texte zur politischen Aktion und zur Aktualisierung der Antike.
"La population a hérité de 50 millions de tonnes de résidus radioactifs stockés à Arlit et Areva continue de pomper gratuitement 20 millions de mètres cubes d'eau par an pendant que la population meurent de soif", a dénoncé M. Mamane. Selon lui, "les rues et les habitations d'Arlit sont construits à l'aide de résidus radioactif et la nappe phréatique usée et contaminée s'assèche par la faute d'Areva". "Le pire c'est que Areva continue de nier tout cela", a-t-il déploré.
On February 18, 1943, Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans brought a suitcase full of leaflets to the University of Munich, calling for passive resistance against the Nazis, and were arrested. Four days later, Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans and their friend Christoph Probst were found guilty of treason and condemned to death.
The present study investigated mosquito species composition and phenotypic insecticide resistance profile to support decision-making in vector control in the Republic of Djibouti at the Horn of Africa. Adult mosquitoes were collected between December 2016 and December 2017 across 20 sentinel sites established in the 6 regions of the country using both Centers for Disease Control (CDC) miniature light traps and pyrethrum spray catches (PSC). Female mosquitoes were kept aside, for morphological identification to species by an expert entomologist using appropriate taxonomic keys by Gillies & Coetzee and Glick. Bioassays were also conducted in An. stephensi from Djibouti-ville against nine insecticides used in public health. A total number of 12,538 host-seeking mosquitoes belonging to four genera (Anopheles, Culex, Aedes, Uranotaenia) comprising 12 species were collected. Among these, A. gambiae S.L. and A. stephensi were the two major malaria vectors identified while secondary malaria vectors such as A. nili somalicus, A. dthali and A. azaniae were also collected. Culex quinquefasciatus was the most abundant mosquito species in the 6 regions. WHO susceptibility tests performed on A. stephensi population from Djibouti-ville showed resistance to pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates and DDT.
