La vulnérabilité alimentaire d'un individu peut être définie comme la susceptibilité qu'il a de faire face, à plus ou moins longue échéance, à une situation d'insécurité alimentaire, au cours de laquelle il n'a plus accès à une nourriture suffisante et satisfaisante d'un point de vue nutritionnelle et sanitaire, et correspondant à ses préférences culturelles. l'enjeu de la thèse est de comprendre les facteurs qui déterminent le niveau de vulnérabilité alimentaire des citadins – puisqu'on s'intéressera au cadre urbain. les citadins élaborent des stratégies de gestion des ressources qu'ils peuvent mobiliser pour faire face aux changements de l'environnement dans lequel ils vivent ; ils s'inscrivent dans le système alimentaire urbain et élaborent des choix de vie (migrations, emploi, logement, investissements) qui tracent une trajectoire de vie, dont leur situation alimentaire dépend. l'enjeu de la thèse est de comprendre ce qui, dans la position que l'individu occupe au sein de son environnement, accroît ou réduit sa vulnérabilité. le terrain d'étude sera la ville de hanoi, capitale du viêt-nam, dont une partie des habitants souffre d'une situation précaire, les conduisant, en cas de choc, à ne plus pouvoir faire face et à se retrouver en insécurité alimentaire. / With a focus on underpriviledged urban dwellers’ everyday practices in Hanoi, this study aims to show the construction of individual and household food insecurity in a city where living standards have dramatically improved over the last three decades. It demonstrates that food budget plays a key role in livelihoods management in an unstable context, by serving as a tool for underprivileged people to adjust to shocks. Therefore, individuals’ food vulnerability should be understood as a long-term livelihoods securitization process.This study shows that livelihoods securitization is based on sustaining social networks. These networks are constantly reactivated by an ongoing circulation of money and goods, and they are the basis of daily mutual assistance at the ward scale. This reveals a strong relationship between lived space and solidarity networks in which risks are mutualized.The analysis of people’s working trajectories shows a high capacity for adaptation, with individuals rearranging their livelihoods (jobs, food production for family’s consumption, rental income, etc.) according to their need and the changes in their environment. Nevertheless, in the context of a metropolizing city, the people’s capacities to take advantage of this development varies greatly. This contrast is reinforced by the fact that resources developments (economic, social, spatial) have a cumulative effect. As a consequence, inequalities are deepened in Hanoi, both at the city scale and wards scale.Such inequalities can be seen in the increasing differences between food practices and consumption patterns among urban dwellers. Products as well as their origines get more diverse, creating new safety concerns ; purchasing places diverge more and more between the rich and the poor ; and foodborne diseases appear while malnutrition issues remain. All along the food supply chain, current shifts illustrate a process that can be called food emergence.Finally, this study reveals that it is primarily non-food phenomenons that result in food insecurity ; it widens the food security framework. In this way, the analysis of urban dwellers’ daily practices provides an illustration of the ongoing urban emergence process of Vietnamese capital.

Dans ce travail, nous avons modifié deux carbones activés (grain AC et tissu T0) par divers traitements chimique (H2O2, NaOCl et un traitement thermique sous azote) et par des traitements ultrasonores à 20 et 500 kHz en présence de différents solvants (eau ultrapure, peroxyde d'hydrogène et acide formique). Ces carbones (bruts et modifiés) ont été caractérisés du point de vue de leur chimie de surface et de leur texture. Nous avons étudié l'adsorption d'ibuprofène (IBP) aux différents pH et températures. Le processus d'adsorption de l'IBP sur (AC ou T0) est avéré endothermique à pH 3. L'oxydation par NaOCl crée des groupes phénoliques qui défavorisent l'adsorption d'IBP tandis que l'oxydation par H2O2 augmente la teneur en groupe carbonyles et carboxyles responsable d'une contribution à l'adsorption de l'IBP. Le traitement ultrasonore de AC a augmenté son adsorption d'IBP par rapport au charbon brut. La cinétique d'adsorption de deux liquides ioniques synthétisés (LI1 : bromure de 4-tertiobutyl-1-propylpyridinium et LI2 : bromure de 4-tertiobutyl-1(2-carboxy-ethyl)pyridinium ) sur T0 est beaucoup plus rapide que la cinétique d'adsorption de l'IBP à pH 7,5. La compétition d'adsorption sur T0 entre les trois molécules (IBP et les deux liquides ioniques) a montré que l'IBP s'adsorbe en plus grande quantité sur le T0 que le LI1 et le LI2. / In this work, two activated carbons (granular AC and fabric T0) were modified either by chemical treatment (H2O2, NaOCl and thermal treatment under N2) or by ultrasonic irradiation at 20 kHz or 500 kHz in different solvents (UHQ water, H2O2 and HCOOH). The raw and modified materials were characterized by different methods. We studied the ibuprofen (IBP) adsorption at different pH and temperatures. The adsorption of IBP by (AC or T0) was an endothermic process at pH 3. Oxidation with NaOCl creates phenol groups that led to a decrease of the adsorption uptake while oxidation by H2O2 increases the carbonyl group content and carboxyl that induce an increase in the adsorption of IBP. The ultrasonic treatment of AC increases the adsorption capacity of ibuprofen in comparison with the raw AC. The adsorption of the two ionic liquids (LI1 : the 4(tert-butyl)-1propylpyridinium bromide and LI2 : 4(tert-butyl)-1(2-carboxy-ethyl)pyridinium bromide ) onto T0 was found much faster than the adsorption kinetic of IBP at pH 7.5. The competitive adsorption of mixture of IBP and the two ionic liquids showed that IBP is the most adsorbed by T0.

Trend prediction has become an extremely popular practice in many industrial sectors and academia. It is beneficial for strategic planning and decision making, and facilitates exploring new research directions that are not yet matured. To anticipate future trends in academic environment, a researcher needs to analyze an extensive amount of literature and scientific publications, and gain expertise in the particular research domain. This approach is time-consuming and extremely complicated due to abundance of data and its diversity. Modern machine learning tools, on the other hand, are capable of processing tremendous volumes of data, reaching the real-time human-level performance for various applications. Achieving high performance in unsupervised prediction of emerging trends in text can indicate promising directions for future research and potentially lead to breakthrough discoveries in any field of science. This thesis addresses the problem of emerging trend prediction in text in two main steps: it utilizes HDP topic model to represent latent topic space of a given temporal collection of documents, DBSCAN clustering algorithm to detect groups with high-density regions in the document space potentially leading to emerging trends, and applies KLdivergence in order to capture deviating text which might indicate birth of a new not-yet-seen phenomenon. In order to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and estimate its predictive capability, both synthetically generated corpora and real-world text collections from arXiv.org, an open-access electronic archive of scientific publications (category: Computer Science), and NIPS publications are used. For synthetic data, a text generator is designed which provides ground truth to evaluate the performance of anomaly detection algorithms. This work contributes to the body of knowledge in the area of emerging trend prediction in several ways. First of all, the method of incorporating topic modeling and anomaly detection algorithms for emerging trend prediction is a novel approach and highlights new perspectives in the subject area. Secondly, the three-level word-document-topic topology of anomalies is formalized in order to detect anomalies in temporal text collections which might lead to emerging trends. Finally, a framework for unsupervised detection of early signals of emerging trends in text is designed. The framework captures new vocabulary, documents with deviating word/topic distribution, and drifts in latent topic space as three main indicators of a novel phenomenon to occur, in accordance with the three-level topology of anomalies. The framework is not limited by particular sources of data and can be applied to any temporal text collections in combination with any online methods for soft clustering.

estágio, na literatura da área da educação musical, é entendido como atividade privilegiada para mobilizar e articular saberes, desenvolver os saberes da experiência, integrar teoria e prática, se aproximar das realidades escolares ou dos diferentes espaços educativos para melhor compreendê-los e neles agir. O estágio possibilita que professores em formação incorporem competências e gestos profissionais em direção ao desenvolvimento de uma profissionalidade. Com base nessa perspectiva, esta dissertação teve como objetivo geral investigar indícios da emergência da profissionalidade de estagiários de um curso de licenciatura em música. Como objetivos específicos, buscou identificar, nas concepções e ações desses estagiários, indícios de reconhecimento da função de ensinar; indícios de reconhecimento de um saber específico da profissão; indícios de tomadas de decisão e de autonomia no exercício da função de ensinar; e indícios de um sentido de pertencimento a um corpo coletivo que exerce a profissão. O referencial teórico do estudo é constituído pelo conceito de profissionalidade emergente, de Anne Jorro, e pelos descritores de profissionalidade apresentados por Maria do Céu Roldão. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, se caracterizou como um estudo de caso, cujos dados foram coletados por meio de observações, entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de documentos. Os resultados deste trabalho indicam que o estágio pode envolver, para além dos saberes docentes, outros aspectos que caracterizam a profissão professor de música. Ao buscar aprofundar a compreensão do processo de emergência da profissionalidade que acontece no estágio, esta pesquisa caracteriza, ao menos parcialmente, a aproximação do licenciando em música com a profissão para a qual está se formando. A pesquisa indica, ainda, algumas condições que podem ser propiciadas aos licenciandos em período de estágio que podem contribuir para fazer emergir a profissionalidade. / According to music education literature, teaching practice, as a component of teacher training, is a privileged activity to mobilize and articulate different types of knowledge, to develop experiential knowledge, to integrate theory and practice and to approach educational realities in order to better understand them and acting on them. Teaching practice allows student teachers to incorporate professional skills and gestures towards the development of a professionality. Based on this perspective, this dissertation aimed at to investigate signs of the emergence of the professionality of student teachers enrolled in a bachelor degree program in music education. More specifically, it aimed at to identify, in the conceptions and actions of these student teachers, signs of recognition of the teaching function; signs of recognition of a specific knowledge of the profession; signs of decision-making and autonomy in the performance of the teaching function; and signs of a sense of belonging to a collective body that practices a profession. The concept of emergent professionality, by Anne Jorro, and the descriptors of teaching professionality, presented by Maria do Céu Roldão, constituted the study´s theoretical framework. A qualitative case study was carried out, with data being collected through observations, semi-structured interviews and analysis of documents. The results indicate that the teaching practice may involve, besides types of knowledge, other aspects that characterize the music teacher profession. Through seeking to deepen the understanding of the emergency process of the professionality that happens during the teaching practice, this research characterizes, at least partially, how the music student teacher comes close to the profession for which he/she is being trained. The results also indicate some conditions that can be offered to student teachers that can contribute to the emergence of the professionality.

La Tunisie est un pays endémique pour la leishmaniose. En 1980, Rioux, Pratlong et Lanotte décrivent en Tunisie une espèce de leishmanie jugée nouvelle et qu'ils nomment alors Leishmania (L.) killicki sur la base d'une trentaine de souches présentant toutes un même nouveau profil isoenzymatique, le zymodème MON-8. Ces souches avaient été isolées à la suite d'une épidémie de leishmaniose cutanée apparue dans les environs de Tataouine. Cependant, le vecteur et le réservoir impliqués dans le cycle de ce parasite demeuraient inconnus.Plus récemment, fin 2010, nous avons pu identifier plusieurs cas de leishmaniose cutanée à L. killicki en dehors du foyer historique de Tataouine, chez des patients originaires de la délégation de Metlaoui, pourtant connue jusqu'alors uniquement comme foyer historique et endémique de leishmaniose cutanée à L. major. Ceci nous encouragea à approfondir nos prospections concernant ce nouveau foyer émergent à L. killicki .C'est dans ce contexte que l'objectif principal de notre thèse fut d'identifier les vecteurs et les réservoirs potentiels de la leishmaniose cutanée à L. killicki et de caractériser le cycle de transmission dans ces foyers par des études parasitologiques, moléculaires et isoenzymatiques.Nos travaux de thèse se sont articulés autour de trois principaux axes de recherche :1) Nous avons mené une étude élargie permettant une caractérisation moléculaire des souches de leishmanies isolées à partir de prélèvements cutanés de patients originaires non seulement de Metlaoui mais également des autres délégations composant le gouvernorat de Gafsa. Dans un premier temps, l'analyse des données nous a ainsi permis d'actualiser la répartition géographique de la leishmaniose cutanée à L. killicki en Tunisie.2) Des études entomologiques recherchant les vecteurs de la leishmaniose cutanée à L killicki nous ont permis :-de réaliser un inventaire faunistique des phlébotomes présents dans les deux foyers principaux, le foyer historique de Tataouine et le foyer émergent de Metlaoui ;-de mettre en évidence le rôle probable de vecteur des phlébotomes de l'espèce Phlebotomus sergenti pour L. killicki ;-d'étudier la variabilité intraspécifique chez les espèces Phlebotomus sergenti et Sergentomyia. minuta en comparant nos spécimens de Tunisie à ceux de nombreux autres pays ;-d'étudier les préférences trophiques des femelles de phlébotomes mettant en évidence leur large spectre d'hôtes lors de la prise de repas sanguin et le caractère non exclusivement herpétophile de Sergentomyia minuta, contrairement à ce qui est souvent rapporté.3) Enfin, nous avons étudié les réservoirs potentiels de la leishmaniose cutanée dans ces foyers en capturant les espèces de rongeurs principalement présentes en milieux urbain et selvatique (Metlaoui et alentours). Une caractérisation moléculaire et isoenzymatique des leishmanies isolées a été réalisée et nous faisons ici état, pour la première fois, de l'identification de L. killicki chez Ctenodactylus gondii et de son rôle probable dans le cycle de transmission de la leishmaniose cutanée à L. killicki en Tunisie. / Tunisia is an endemic country for leishmaniasis. In 1980, Rioux, Pratlong & Lanotte described from Tunisia a new species they called Leishmania (L.) killicki based on the typing of 30 strains isolated from an outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis occuring in the Tataouine area and exhibiting a zymodeme: MON-8. The vector and the reservoir if exixting were still uncknown. Human cases have been mentioned out of this area. Gafsa is a province were cutaneous leishmanaisis due to L. major is endemic.The recent identification of L. killicki as the causative agent of a cutaneous leishmaniasis occuring patients from Metlaoui incitated us to explore this focus. This is the aim of our Ph. D. thesis: identification of the Phlebotomine sand flies vector(s) and possible role of reservoirs using both parasitological, isoenzymatical and molecular approaches.Three main topics have been developed during this work:i) To characterize the Leishmania strains from cutaneous lesions obtained from patients from Gafsa area using molecular tools. We updated epidemiological, spatial and clinical data related to L. killicki leishmaniasis in Tunisia.ii) To carry out entomological studies:-to do sand flies inventories in two distinct areas,-to study the molecular intraspecific variablility in Phlebotomus sergenti and Sergentomyia. minuta by comparison of Tunisian specimens with other ones coming from several countries,-to show the probable role of P. sergenti in the transmission of L. killicki,-to study blood meal origin of engorged females: many Phlebotomus are opportunistic species and Sergentomyia minuta is not exclusively herpetophilic.iii) Lastly, we carried out a study on the Leishmania infection on wild and urban rodents in Metlaoui and around this city. The isoenzymatic and molecular typing show the role of Ctenodactylus gondii in the cycle of L. killicki in Tunisia.

Cette thèse s'efforce de comprendre l'impact de multiples orientations stratégiques sur la performance de l'entreprise micro-familiale dans un contexte d’économie en développement, en trois phases distinctes. Tout d'abord, nous avons posé la question de savoir si les micro-entrepreneurs familiaux améliorent leur performance en développant simultanément des activités axées sur l'entrepreneuriat et sur le marché. Nous avons également étudié si ces orientations stratégiques complémentaires sur la performance sont favorisées par le capital social, sous forme de liens commerciaux et sociaux. En outre, nous avons soulevé une question sur l’effet de l’intervention de la famille sur la performance dans le contexte de multiples orientations stratégiques. L'étude initiale a fourni un thème de recherche fécond sur l'entreprise familiale dans un environnement institutionnel. Nous avons montré que les micro-entreprises familiales optimisent leurs performances commerciales en investissant dans des niveaux plus élevés d'orientation entrepreneuriale et commerciale. En outre, le processus de socialisation avec l’environnement commercial augmente la performance grâce aux effets combinés des orientations entrepreneuriale et de marché dans un contexte d’économies émergentes. Contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, l'étude a révélé que la performance des entreprises augmente lorsque les deux orientations sont élevées, mais seulement lorsque l'engagement familial est faible. Ce résultat a permis d'améliorer la connaissance que l’on a de l'influence de la famille sur l'élaboration de comportements stratégiques pour atteindre une meilleure performance. L'étude subséquente, examine et révèle le côté sombre et lumineux de la famille en relation avec des stratégies d'orientation entrepreneuriale et de marché et son impact sur la performance. L'étude quantitative finale contredit la recherche antérieure révélant l'importance des capacités familiales dans le soutien des comportements à risque pour accroître la richesse familiale dans un contexte émergent. / This dissertation endeavors to understand the impact of multiple strategic orientations on the performance of the micro family business in developing economy settings in three distinct phases. First, we raised a question whether family micro-entrepreneurs gain performance benefits by developing simultaneously high levels of entrepreneurial-oriented and market-oriented activities. We also investigated whether these complementary strategic orientations on performance are rewarded by cultivating high levels of firm social capital in the form of business and social network ties. In addition, we raised a question how family fits together in the context of multiple strategic orientations to achieve superior performance. The initial study, therefore, yielded a rich research theme related to family business in the context of institutionally constrained environment. We have shown that micro family businesses do maximize their business performance by investing on higher levels of entrepreneurial and market orientation. Furthermore, firm socialization process with their external business entities increase the performance benefits by combined effects of entrepreneurial and market orientations in an emerging market setting. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the study revealed that business profitability increases when both orientations are high but only when family involvement is low. This result yielded important insights into the role of family influence in shaping firm strategic behaviors to achieve better performance. The subsequent study, therefore, reviews and revealed the dark and bright side of the family in combination with entrepreneurial and market orientation behaviors and its consequent impact on performance. The final quantitative study contradicts previous research finding revealing the importance of family-based capabilities in supporting risk-taking behaviors to increase family wealth in an emerging market setting.

Des études récentes ont montré que parmi les infections émergentes chez l'homme, env. 40% étaient des zoonoses liées à la faune sauvage. La surveillance sanitaire de ces animaux devrait contribuer à améliorer la protection de leur santé et aussi celle des animaux domestiques et des hommes. Notre objectif était de développer des outils de détection de problèmes sanitaires inhabituels dans la faune sauvage, en adoptant une approche syndromique, utilisée en santé humaine, avec des profils pathologiques comme indicateurs de santé non spécifiques. Un réseau national de surveillance des causes de mortalité dans la faune sauvage, appelé SAGIR, a fourni les données. Entre 1986 et 2007, plus de 50.000 cas ont été enregistrés, représentant 244 espèces de mammifères terrestres et d'oiseaux, et attribués à 220 différentes causes de mort. Le réseau a d'abord été évalué pour sa capacité à détecter précocement des événements inhabituels. Des classes syndromiques ont ensuite été définies par une typologie statistique des lésions observées sur les cadavres. Les séries temporelles des syndromes ont été analysées en utilisant deux méthodes complémentaires de détection : un algorithme robuste développé par Farrington et un modèle linéaire généralisé avec des termes périodiques. Les tendances séculaires de ces syndromes et des signaux correspondent a des excès de cas ont été identifiés. Les signalements de problèmes de mortalité inhabituelle dans le bulletin du réseau ont été utilisés pour interpréter ces signaux. L'étude analyse la pertinence de l'utilisation de la surveillance syndromique sur ce type de données et donne des éléments pour des améliorations futures. / Recent studies have shown that amongst emerging infectious disease events in humans, about 40% were zoonoses linked to wildlife. Disease surveillance of wildlife should help to improve health protection of these animals and also of domestic animals and humans that are exposed to these pathogenic agents. Our aim was to develop tools capable of detecting unusual disease events in free ranging wildlife, by adopting a syndromic approach, as it is used for human health surveillance, with pathological profiles as early unspecific health indicators. We used the information registered by a national network monitoring causes of death in wildlife in France since 1986, called SAGIR. More than 50.000 cases of mortality in wildlife were recorded up to 2007, representing 244 species of terrestrial mammals and birds, and were attributed to 220 different causes of death. The network was first evaluated for its capacity to detect early unusual events. Syndromic classes were then defined by a statistical typology of the lesions observed on the carcasses. Syndrome time series were analyzed, using two complimentary methods of detection, one robust detection algorithm developed by Farrington and another generalized linear model with periodic terms. Historical trends of occurrence of these syndromes and greater-than-expected counts (signals) were identified. Reporting of unusual mortality events in the network bulletin was used to interpret these signals. The study analyses the relevance of the use of syndromic surveillance on this type of data and gives elements for future improvements.

O objetivo central da tese é analisar se e como as economias emergentes ganharam poder no cenário político internacional, através do aumento de seus recursos de poder econômico. Como o foco do trabalho foi direcionado para a evolução do poder econômico das economias emergentes e suas implicações para o sistema de nações, a atenção maior foi dada às movimentações da economia política internacional, que não estão restritas aos organismos financeiros internacionais. Buscou-se mostrar que o jogo de poder se dá, preponderantemente, entre os Estados-nacionais. Neste trabalho foi analisado o funcionamento do sistema internacional contemporâneo, abordando-o através das principais correntes teóricas das relações internacionais. O tema em foco foi a distribuição de poder econômico no cenário político internacional. A hipótese considerada foi que alguns países emergentes têm aumentado seu poder global e desta forma impactado a organização do sistema e as relações econômicas internacionais. No capítulo 2 defende-se que o poder econômico, atualmente, pode ser considerado a principal fonte de poder tendo em vista os temas da agenda das relações internacionais. Defende-se que mesmo os EUA não sendo mais a nação hegemônica que garante a estabilidade do sistema, este ainda é o sistema criado pelos americanos e não há evidência de que haja alguma nação capaz de assumir a liderança e implantar outro sistema. Por último defendo que vivemos em um sistema internacional híbrido, que ora é anárquico, ora é cooperativo ou coordenado, dependendo da agenda internacional. O capítulo 3 trata das instituições de Bretton Woods e analisa sua evolução e o papel da moeda padrão. Reforça a análise do capítulo anterior quanto à inexistência de um movimento de ruptura ou mesmo de substituição da moeda americana como referência das transações internacionais inclusive na hipótese da adoção de uma unidade de conta baseada numa cesta de moedas. O atual sistema monetário internacional, no qual países exportadores de petróleo e a China sustentam o dólar americano como moeda de referência e o nível de consumo dos americanos, é a prova das dificuldades de institucionalização de uma nova ordem. No capítulo 4 distinguem-se os conceitos econômicos para estipular a melhora do bem-estar da população e como as mesmas estatísticas são utilizadas para medir o poder nas relações econômicas internacionais. Baseado no exposto considera-se que as economias emergentes estão aumentando sua fonte de poder econômico e começa a influir nas decisões que durante décadas foram limitadas ao G-7 e as evidências disso são a constituição do G-20, a participação no Grupo de Estabilidade Financeira do BIS e o aumento do peso nos votos do FMI. / The main objective of this thesis is to examine whether and how emerging economies have gained power in the international political scene, by increasing their economic power resources. As the focus of the study was directed towards the development of the economic power of emerging economies and its implications for the system of nations, greater attention was given to the movements of international political economy, which are not restricted to international financial organizations. We tried to show that the power game occurs, mainly, among National States. This work analyzed the functioning of the contemporary international system by addressing it through the principal theories of international relations. The theme in focus was the distribution of economic power in the international political scenario. The assumption made was that some emerging countries are increasing their global power and thus impacted the organization of the system and international economic relations. Chapter 2 argues that the economic power may currently be considered the main source of power in view of the topics on international relations agenda. It is argued that the U.S. is not even the most homogenous nation which ensures the stability of the system, this is still the system created by the Americans and there is no evidence that there is any nation able to take the leadership and implement a different system. Finally It’s argued that we live in an international hybrid system, which is sometimes anarchic, sometimes it is cooperative or coordinated depending on the international agenda. Chapter 3 deals with the Bretton Woods institutions and examines their evolution and role of the currency standard. Reinforces the analysis of the previous chapter as to the absence of a movement to break or even replacement of the U.S. currency as a benchmark for international transactions including the assumption of adopting a unit of account based on a basket of currencies. The current international monetary system in which oil exporters and China support the U.S. dollar as reference currency and the level of consumption of Americans is proof of the difficulties of institutionalizing a new order. Chapter 4 distinguished economic concepts to provide the improvement well-being of the population and how those statistics are used to measure power in international economic relations. Based on the foregoing it is considered that emerging economies are increasing their sources of economic power and begin to influence decisions which for decades limited to the G-7 and the evidence for this is the formation of G-20, participation in the Group Stability Financial BIS and increasing their weight in votes in the IMF.
