"ETSAB, DUOT, LUB" -- Portada, "Barcelona School of Architecture ETSAB, UPC Barcelona TECH, with AHO Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo, Faculteit Architectuur KULeuven, Escola de Arquitetura, Arte e Design da Universidade do Minho" -- Coberta, "ETSAB summer workshop" -- Coberta, Descripció del recurs: 20 setembre 2023, One territory, four questions, one atlas arises from the need to rethink the collaboration between the four academic institutions (KULeuven; UMinho; AHO; ETSAB-UPC) after four years of Summer Workshops (3 editions in Belgium; 1 in Portugal). The intention is to generate new synergies and a common theoretical-practical body that becomes the seed for future joint collaborations (Summerschools, BIP, other shared intensive programs). How do we map space and experiences? How do we map global (climate change, monetary flows) vs. local processes? How do we map concepts? (boundaries, regularity, porosity) How do we map tangibles and intangibles? How do we map sensations (noises, flavours, smells)? How do we map paths and movement? How do we represent dynamics in a static drawing? What is the (ir)relevance of geographical precision? The disciplines of architecture and urban design have representation as their main communication tool. However, in recent years, the possibilities of access to information (digital archives, open cartographic sources) and the emergence of geographic information systems have shaken the way of representing and explaining issues that were until recently linked to the physical condition of places. This booklet presents an academic experience, “One territory, four questions, one atlas”, an intensive summer research program between four institutions (KULeuven; UMinho; AHO; ETSAB-UPC), aimed to generate new synergies and a common theoretical-practical body to trigger a joint discussion on how to represent and visualise cities and life, spatial design and spatial reframing, ruptures and permanence, people and time by the act of mapping. Twelve participants (eight professors and five PhD students) worked together grouped in three teams during one week in which four questions were progressively launched to which the participants responded by drawing. The questions triggered assorted 8-hours speed maps, which in turn served as an entry for a common discussi

Non-typhoidal (NTS) disease is usually a self-limiting infection presenting with digestive symptoms. However, disseminated presentation with involvement of secondary infectious sites is observed. We report diagnostic specificities and challenges related to the management of three patients with invasive NTS (iNTS) and secondary infectious locations. Among the seven patients (age range 46 - 83 years), four (two with extra-digestive infectious sites) had at least one immune debilitating condition. Two patients were incidentally discovered with iNTS and deceased after developing a septic shock despite antimicrobial treatment. Two individuals recovered under medical treatment without complications. Three other patients presented with secondary infectious sites. Case 1 suffered from urinary tract infection and dorsolumbar spondylodiscitis that responded well to antimicrobials and surgery. Abdominal prosthetic aortic aneurysm was diagnosed in case 2 and medical treatment only was applied. After four years of follow-up, he remains under antimicrobial treatment. Case 3 presented with conjoint thoracic aortic aneurysm and cutaneous abscesses managed with antimicrobials and surgery. Atherosclerosis and previous vascular intervention were the predisposing events for vascular involvement. iNTS is a serious disease carrying a high risk of mortality or secondary locations. Secondary locations can be managed by long duration antimicrobial therapy combined with surgery. Spine and aortitis are the most frequent secondary locations. Multi-drug resistant NTS represent an additional risk of mortality. Public health measures should be implemented to limit the spread of NTS to humans and the emergence of drug resistance.
