Nafasi ya Kiswahili katika ujenzi wa jamii mpya ya Afrika Mashariki

Lugha ni chombo muhimu sana cha mawasiliano kilichoundwa na sauti za nasibu za kusemwa na kutumiwa na jamii ya utamaduni fulani. Jinsi ambavyo zipo jamii nyingi za tamaduni mbalimbali duniani, vivyo hivyo ziko lugha mbalimbali zilizoundwa kukidhi haja ya mawasiliano ya tamaduni mbalimbali. Maingiliano ya jamii zenye tamaduni na lugha mbalimbali yanayotokana na mashirikiano katika shughuli za biashara na nyinginezo za kijamii, huzusha haja ya kuwepo kwa lugha moja itakayoweza kuwaungaanisha watu hao wenye tamaduni na lugha mbalimbali. Maingiliano kama hayo yanaweza kuwa katika viwango mbalimbali

Mali: nuevos desafíos en la lucha contra el yihadismo

Pasado un año del golpe de estado de mayo de 2021 en Mali, la inestabilidad política sostenida incrementa las debilidades que el gobierno encuentra a la hora de asegurar su integridad y soberanía en un contexto de conflictos con distintos grupos yihadistas militarizados. La continuidad en el poder de los militares que llevaron a cabo el golpe, propició una fuerte descoordinación entre sus principales aliados regionales, como el G5 Sahel, e internacionales, como Francia, la Unión Europea (UE) y la Misión Multidimensional Integrada de Estabilización de las Naciones Unidas en Mali (MINUSMA). Luego de un periodo de consonancia, la lucha anti-yihadista en el Sahel entra en un momento de nuevos matices y rupturas frente a las crecientes tensiones y a la intensificación de los enfrentamientos. Esta situación genera especial preocupación internacional por el incremento de la violencia hacia los civiles y la creciente pérdida de control territorial en detrimento del gobierno maliense (Bourdin & Tine, 2022). Ante esta coyuntura, los grupos islámicos militarizados toman mayor poder e influencia territorial, especialmente el Grupo de Apoyo al Islam y los Musulmanes (JNIM, por su denominación en árabe) y el Estado Islámico del Gran Sáhara (EIGS). Por otro lado, frente a un escenario de fuerte inestabilidad política y propagación de golpes de estado en el Sahel, desde la Unión Europea, principalmente desde Francia y España, se conforma un malestar ante el inminente aumento de la influencia y presencia rusa en la región (Masoliver, 2022). A partir de este contexto, el objetivo del presente trabajo es describir las motivaciones que llevaron a la ruptura del plan de lucha anti-yihadista en Mali, buscando exponer el entramado de actores que influyen en el conflicto en un marco de inestabilidad política interna y regional. Por último, buscaremos observar si existen las bases para un proyecto que incorpore nuevos actores y diferentes perspectivas de cómo amenizar o terminar con la situación de crisis que atraviesa el país.Departamento de África.Instituto de Relaciones Internacionale

Oral health experience during pregnancy and dental service utilization in Bariadi District, Tanzania

A substantial proportion of pregnant women reports experiencing oral health problems during pregnancy. However, most of them perceive that such problems are normal in pregnancy and hence do not seek dentist consultation. The objective of this study was to determine the prenatal oral health experience and the utilization of dental care services among pregnant women attending reproductive and child health clinics in Bariadi District in Tanzania. Data was collected using a questionnaire-guided interview. Key variables were socio-demographic characteristics of pregnant women, oral health experience, and dental visits during pregnancy with reasons and treatment received. A total of 305 pregnant women (mean age=25.7 years) were involved in the study. Most of the listed oral health problems during pregnancy were reported by women with 2+ children. The frequent oral health problems among the pregnant women were bleeding gums (22.6%, N=69), pain in gums (21.6%, N=66), swollen gums (21.3%, N=65), dental pain (30.5, N=93), and tooth decay (25.6%, n=78). However, only 31.8% (N=97) visited a dental clinic for consultation most whom, were those with three or more children (χ2=4.682; P=002). The pregnant women who had visited a dentist in the past 12 months were 11.1% (N=34), mostly those aged >24 years and those with informal employment (P<0.05). Curative and preventive treatments were received more significantly by the urban and with formal employment (P<0.01). In conclusion, pregnant women in Bariadi, Tanzania experiences substantial oral health problems for which they do not often utilize dentists for consultation and management during pregnancy. Dentists and other health workers should therefore, intensify dental screening, emphasizing active family and community participation as part of regular prenatal care
