Investigation of outbreaks and risk factors for brucellosis in goat and sheep farms in central ThailandBackground and Aim: Brucellosis is a harmful disease that affects a wide range of animals and adversely affects both animal and human health. Brucella melitensis is a zoonotic disease that causes brucellosis in sheep and goats. This study aimed to identify human index cases, identify risk factors for brucellosis in goat and sheep farms, and establish recommendations for farmers. Materials and Methods: An unmatched case-control study was conducted on goat or sheep farms in central Thailand. We utilized animal disease reports and outbreak investigation data extracted from the Department of Livestock Development, Thailand, and assessed these secondary data. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Serum samples were parallel tested for brucellosis using the modified Rose Bengal test and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: An index case of human brucellosis was reported in the province of Chai Nat. Patients who were goat farmers or had previous experience of goat farming were included. Bacteria were introduced into the patient's farms by purchasing goats, grazing in public grassland, and insufficient biosecurity. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified a higher risk of brucellosis positivity in the large herd than in the small herd (adjusted odds ratio = 8.61; 95% confidence interval = 1.62-45.71). Conclusion: These results suggest that goat or sheep farms over 50 heads should take further measures to prevent disease transmission, such as increasing the frequency of disease testing within the herd and strengthening the biosecurity system. Keywords: brucellosis, goat farms, outbreak investigation, risk factor, sheep farms.

Friday 10th May 2024, 11:00 (CET) (please note earlier start!) Reviving anti-imperialist nodes of solidarity on a global scale Walaa Alqaisiya, Marie Curie Global Fellow, Università Ca’ Foscari & Columbia University and Matteo Capasso, Marie Curie Global Fellow, Università Ca’ Foscari & Columbia University Abstract: In the last two decades, racial capitalism and settler colonialism have consolidated as major conceptual tools to rethink the struggles of racialised groups in the North/South of the world. Respectively, they emphasize the primacy of race and indigeneity as lenses required to frame political oppression on a worldwide scale, and responses to it from within the political and epistemic needs—i.e., abolitionism and decoloniality—of these positionalities. However, they often do so by ignoring the contributions of anti-imperialism and Third World Marxism in advancing these causes. This piece reassembles the intellectual and political solidarities established across the Lakota nation (US), Libya and Palestine, through archival (from the late 1960s-80s) and field (2022-23) research. Drawing on a south-led theory and political praxis, we recentre anti-imperialism to the struggle of the Global South and racial “minorities” in the US imperial core with a twofold aim. First, gauge the value of the historical and material proximity of racialised/indigenous working class to their Southern compatriots; and second, challenge the collapse of radical theories within the political and intellectual boundaries of the liberal democracy project in the US imperial core. Short bios: Walaa Alqaisiya (she/her) is a Marie Curie Global Fellow working across: Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italy), Columbia University in the City of New York (USA) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (UK). She received her PhD in Human Geography from Durham University (UK), and worked as a Teaching Fellow in Gender, Sexuality and Conflict at the Department of Gender Studies, London School of Economics. Her forthcoming book Decolonial Queering in Palestine examines queer politics and aesthetics from a Palestinian native positionality. Walaa’s Marie Curie Fellowship extends her work on settler colonialism, decoloniality and gender whilst bringing an ecological and environmental dimension to these fields. It draws on multiple locales of indigeneity (i.e., Turtle Island, Palestine) to examine comparable historical and political processes of colonial ecocidal violence and the value of Indigene’s decolonial ecologies. Matteo Capasso (he/his) is a Marie Curie Global Fellow between Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and Columbia University in the City of New York, US. He was previously a Max Weber Research Fellow at the European University Institute and Visiting Fellow at the University of Turin. He is the author of the upcoming monograph, Everyday Politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (Syracuse University Press) that reconstructs the last two decades of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, leading up to the 2011 events that sanctioned its fall. Since 2013, he has been working for Middle East Critique, currently as Managing Editor. His current project focuses on the study of US-led imperialism through the Libyan microcosm. His research interests include political history, everyday politics, and international political economy, with a focus on the modern Middle East and North Africa and the Global South at large.

Estatística, Cartografia e suas interseções tecnopolíticas: um outro olhar sobre a construção do espaço nacionalEste artigo realiza uma abordagem cruzada de números e mapas de modo a evidenciar o poder performativo que emerge de suas interseções tecnopolíticas, como o conceito de densidade populacional e o recorte regional do território. Aplicada ao caso brasileiro, a análise combinada ilumina aspectos relativos à construção da autoridade do Estado e seu poder de criar categorias de pessoas e lugares. Para tanto, examinamos as tendências que aproximam a estatística da cartografia no Brasil Império e que indicam um estatuto comum a mapas e números enquanto instrumentos descritivos do poder soberano, como suas modalidades de uso, e suas condições de produção e validação da verdade. Na sequência, abordamos os fatores que levam à crescente importância dos números e dos mapas para a ação coletiva e para a produção de identidades compartilhadas. Com base nas referências da sociologia da quantificação, enfocamos a emergência da cartografia estatística e a crescente regionalização dos dados oficiais, entre as décadas de 1920 e 1940, ligadas a um novo modo de definir a brasilidade, ordenar o território e gerir a população.
