Dynamique des populations de Culicoides à l’île de La Réunion, moucherons vecteurs d’orbiviroses

Les elevages bovins de La Reunion connaissent regulierement des foyers de « bavites », appellation locale des maladies causees par les virus de la fievre catarrhale ovine (bluetongue virus, BTV) et de la maladie hemorragique epizootique (epizootic hemorragic disease virus, EHDV), deux orbivirus transmis par des moucherons hematophages du genre Culicoides (Diptera : Ceratopogonidae). Plusieurs serotypes de ces deux orbivirus circulent sur l’ile et sont responsables de pertes economiques et de degradations de l’etat sanitaire du cheptel bovin. Parmi les 5 especes de Culicoides decrites a La Reunion, Culicoides imicola, Culicoides bolitinos, Culicoides enderleini, Culicoides grahamii, et Culicoides kibatiensis, au moins les deux premieres sont vectrices du BTV et de l’EHDV aux ruminants. Dans ce contexte, il parait important de caracteriser l’ecologie et de preciser le role vectoriel des Culicoides a La Reunion. Ce travail vise a i) determiner les facteurs environnementaux et climatiques qui gouvernent la presence et l’abondance de chaque espece de Culicoides dans l’ile ; ii) modeliser leurs dynamiques temporelles et spatio-temporelles ; iii) identifier les especes potentiellement impliquees dans la transmission des deux orbivirus et caracteriser la circulation de ces deux virus dans les populations locales de Culicoides. Un suivi longitudinal reposant sur des collectes bimensuelles de moucherons realisees dans 11 sites durant 26 mois a permis de caracteriser puis d’analyser avec des modeles statistiques de haie les dynamiques temporelles des differentes especes de Culicoides afin d’identifier les parametres environnementaux et climatiques qui les gouvernent. Ces modeles de dynamique ont ensuite ete spatialises en utilisant le logiciel Ocelet et valides en s’appuyant sur les donnees issues d’une large campagne de captures dans 101 sites repartis sur toute l’ile. Enfin, la recherche de BTV et d’EHDV, effectuee par PCR (reaction en chaine par polymerase) dans 1500 pools monospecifiques de Culicoides collectes lors du suivi longitudinal, a permis de detecter chacun des deux orbivirus chez 4 des 5 especes de Culicoides : le BTV a ete detecte chez toutes les especes sauf C. grahamii et l’EHDV chez toutes les especes sauf C. enderleini. Les travaux de cette these ont donc permis d’approfondir les connaissances sur la composante vectorielle de la fievre catarrhale ovine et de la maladie hemorragique epizootique a La Reunion, et, en l’absence de methodes de prevention comme la vaccination et de strategies de controle des vecteurs, de developper des approches permettant de preciser le risque de transmission de ces deux virus.

EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE IRON BALANCE IN HUMAN BODY EXAMINED BY THE EXCRETION OF IRON INTO URINE, SWEAT AND FECES

In order to evaluate iron balance in the human body, we studied the effects of exercise on iron excretion in urine, sweat and feces. The subjects were five healthy male, college athletes. The daily intake of nutrients by the subjects was regulated by a prescribed diet (Calorie Mate, Ohtsuka), and the control measurements and the exercise measurements were performed within seven days. Excretion of iron in the urine during the exercise period was significantly higher than in the control period. The excretion of iron in the sweat was 1.076•} 0.118 mg, i. e,, about 70% of total iron physiologically excreted from the human body. The excretion of iron in the feces during the exercise period was significantly lower than during control period. Feces volume was positively correlated with energy expenditure and negatively correlated with the excretion of iron in the feces. Iron absorption during the exercise period was significantly higher than during the control period. These findings suggest that exercise stimulates not only iron excretion via urine and sweat, but iron absorption, and that iron balance remains positive in healthy male subjects who have normal iron status.

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

Deep learning based methods are the state-of-the-art in panchromatic (PAN)/multispectral (MS) fusion (which is generally called “pansharpening”). In this paper, to solve the problem of the insufficient spatial enhancement in most of the existing deep learning based pansharpening methods, we propose a novel pansharpening method based on a residual convolutional neural network (RCNN). Differing from the existing deep learning based pansharpening methods that are mainly devoted to designing an effective network, we make novel changes to the input and the output of the network and propose a simple but effective mapping strategy. This strategy involves utilizing the network to map the differential information between the high spatial resolution pan-chromatic (HR-PAN) image and the low spatial resolution multispectral (LR-MS) image to the differential information between the HR-PAN image and the high spatial resolution multispectral (HR-MS) image, which is called the “differential information mapping strategy”. Moreover, to further boost the spatial information in the fusion results, the proposed method makes full use of the LR-MS image and utilizes the gradient information of the up-sampled LR-MS image (Up-LR-MS) as auxiliary data to assist the network. Furthermore, an attention module and residual blocks are incorporated in the proposed network structure to maximize the ability of the network to extract features. Experiments on four data sets collected by different satellites confirm the superior performance of the proposed method compared to the state-of-the-art pansharpening methods.
Askariasis di Daerah Endemis Rendah Askariasis Tidak Meningkatkan Kejadian Tuberkulosis Aktif

Askariasis di daerah endemis seperti Indonesia menyebabkan polarisasi respons Th2 yang dapat menekan respons Th1 yang penting dalam perlawanan terhadap tuberkulosis melalui penekanan ekspresi IL-12Rẞ2 oleh IL-4. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari hubungan antara kejadian askariasis dan tuberkulosis aktif di daerah endemis rendah askariasis. Penelitian observasional analitik dilakukan pada 30 penderita dewasa tuberkulosis paru aktif baru dan 29 penderita tuberkulosis laten. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kota Bandung selama periode April–Juni 2014. Pemeriksaan telur Ascaris lumbricoides dilakukan dengan teknik Kato-Katz smear dan pengukuran kadar reseptor terlarut IL-12Rẞ2 dalam plasma mengunakan metode enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan proporsi askariasis pada penderita tuberkulosis aktif secara signifikan lebih rendah (5 dari 30 subjek) dari proporsi askariasis pada penderita tuberkulosis laten (13 dari 29 subjek) dengan p=0,019. Penghitungan jumlah telur menunjukkan semua subjek askariasis menderita askariasis intensitas ringan. Kadar reseptor terlarut IL-12Rẞ2 pada penderita tuberkulosis aktif dan laten dengan askariasis maupun tanpa askariasis tidak berbeda signifikan. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah askariasis intensitas ringan tidak menekan respons Th1 dan tidak meningkatkan kejadian tuberkulosis aktif di daerah endemis rendah askariasis. ASCARIASIS IN LOW ENDEMIC AREA DOES NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THE INCREASE INCIDENCE OF ACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS Polarization toward Th2 response in ascaris investation suppresses Th1 responses which is important in defence against tuberculosis. Such suppression is hipothesized to supress the expression of IL-12Rẞ2 by IL-4. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between ascaris investation and TB in low endemic area of ascariasis that is endemic for TB. We gathered samples from 30 adult active pulmonary TB patients and 29 adult latent TB patients as control. The study was performed in Bandung during April to June 2014. Ascaris investation was established with Kato-Katz smear technique and the detection of plasma level of the soluble receptor of IL-12Rẞ2 was conducted with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We showed that the proportion of ascaris investation significantly higher in latent TB patients (13 from 29 subjects) compared to in active Tb patients (5 from 30 subjects) with p value 0.019. All subjects positive for ascaris investation had low intensity of investation in accordance with low endemicity. Also, the median level of IL-12Rẞ2 did not differ between active and latent TB patients with ascaris or without ascaris investation. We concluded that low intensity of ascaris investation does not associate with suppression of Th1 response, as assessed by IL-12Rẞ2 receptor level, hence does not associate with the increase incidence of active tuberculosis.
Civil Service Recruitment

Skilled and motivated personnel are arguably the most important determinant of an effective government. How does a government recruit the best and the brightest? This Governance Note examines different approaches to recruiting through career- and position-oriented systems; measuring knowledge versus competencies; screening applicants through written or oral tests; and recruiting junior- and senior level civil servants. It also compares the advantages and disadvantages of centralized and decentralized recruitment processes. Although this note primarily focuses on civil servants, many of the findings presented here are generalizable to other public employees, such as teachers and health workers.
Integration of UI Greenmetric performance measurement on ISO 14001 implementation in higher education

Increasing sustainability concern in the world, encouraging the growth of higher education participation. Many higher education institutions adopt Environmental Management System (EMS) ISO 14001 and UI GreenMetrcis performance measurement separately to achieve sustainability. The two systems have similar goal but different approach related to sustainability. The objective of this research is to integrate UI Greenmetric performance measurement on ISO 14001 implementation in higher education. The similarity goals of them, making the analysis of the using of UI GreenMetric performance measurement in the implementation of ISO 14001 EMS in higher education needs to be done. Based on that analysis, it is known the agreement level of relationship between EMS ISO 14001 and UI GreenMetric by using frequency analysis, as well as the level of their implementations in higher education through mixed method. The result is UI GreenMetric performance measurement can be used to implement ISO 14001 EMS, so that it can support the achievement of environmental performance in higher education.
Hand wrist radiograph: A Critical Review

Several methods are used to assess the level of maturity attained by child during post natal growth. Children of same age vary in their maturity status a great deal, therefore biologic maturity indicators have been developed to assess the progress towards full maturation of an individual at various times during growth. The bone age of a child indicates his/her level of biological and structural maturity better than the chronological age calculated from the date of birth. The accurate age assessment is required for applying correct treatment modality in pediatric patient as well as for forensic purpose. The hand wrist radiograph is considered to be the most standardized method of skeletal assessment. In the present review we will discuss about the various methods of hand wrist skeletal maturity assessment.

The current study was conducted to determine the effect of adding different ratios of orange marmalade on physicochemical, rheological and sensory properties of the yogurt that produced by using the whole bovine milk pH 6.7 and total acidity 0.16% which divided into four treatments: T2,T3,T4 with adding orange marmalade in ratios 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% respectively beside control treatment. Physicochemical tests included determine the percentage of moisture, fat, protein, carbohydrates and ash as well total acidity and pH value. Rheological tests included viscosity, whey senerises exudation and water holding capacity, as well as sensory evaluation. These tests were carried out during the storage period at (5 ± 1) °C for 1, 7 and 14 day. The results showed an increase in the total solids percentage In proportion to increasing the added amount of orange marmalade compared to treatment T1and the increase was observed with storage except for the percentage of carbohydrates that decreased. Also results showed an increase in the percentage of total acidity and decrease in pH of the added treatments directly after manufacturing and with storage. The results showed a decrease in the values of whey exudation, increased percentage of water holding capacity and viscosity of marmalade treatments. Results of sensory evaluation showed a decreased in scores with the increasing in marmalade addition compared to control treatment.
“SHE DOES NOT CONTROL ME ANYMORE BUT I CAN HEAR HER VOICE SOMETIMES” - A PHENOMENOGRAPHIC RESEARCH ON THE RESILIENCE PERCEPTIONS OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE SURVIVED FROM UPBRINGING BY A NARCISSISTIC PARENT

This study researched how to survive and lead a healthy life after exposing to a narcissistic parent’s upbringing. The especial focus was to analyze survival and coping in the light of resilience. This was a phenomenographic research in which adults (N=13) who had lived their childhood with a narcissist parent wrote about their experiences and perceptions of survival. The following research question was set for this study: How do the perceptions of adults, who have survived from narcissistic upbringing, evince resilience? The analysis showed that resilience appeared in five categories according to the research participants’ perspectives. The categories were academic, functional, emotional, social, and physical resilience which all had specific sub-categories. An illustration about resilience in children of narcissistic parents is introduced as conclusion. Article visualizations:
Secure opinion sharing for reputation-based systems in mobile ad hoc networks

Due to the basic nature of mobile ad hoc networks, that is, infrastructure-less, it is prone to individual or collective misbehaviors by participating node(s). Participating nodes could act selfishly and does cause massive loss to network performance because of limited resources or belonging to a different administrative domain. Reputation-based solutions are widely used to mitigate selfishness. These solutions are to some extent depend on the feedback from participating nodes for any given node which required its secure exchange in an adverse environment. This paper introduces a secure opinion sharing based on network coding to ensure the effectiveness of any reputation against selfishness in an adverse environment. The proposed scheme addresses the threat to opinion exchange in any reputation-based solution with minor changes. In addition, it can be used to exchange secure data in an adverse environment, for example, virtual currency and feedback exchange for credit payment and game theory–based solutions, respectively. Simulation results proved that this scheme achieves excellent opinion exchange ratio, moderate delay, and affordable per cycle overhead.
Children's nurses pain management practices : theoretical knowledge, perceived importance and decision-making.

Children continue to experience unrelieved moderate to severe pain post-operatively. Previous studies have suggested several factors to explain this. However, the impact of these factors on practice has not been explored. Nor have children's nurses clinical decision-making strategies been examined. This case study set out to explore the influence of various factors on individual nurses' post-operative pain management practices, and to answer the following questions: • How does the perceived importance of a pain management task impact on practice? • How does theoretical knowledge and its application impact on practice? • How does what nurses say they do compare to what they actually did? • How do nurses make decisions when managing pain in children? The case study used qualitative (participant observation and the think aloud technique) and quantitative methods (questionnaires) to obtain an in-depth picture of children's nurses' post-operative pain management practices. As well as examining some aspects of pain management for the first time, such as nurses' pain-related clinical decision-making, new perspectives were explored in relation to other well researched issues, including whether theoretical knowledge about pain management is applied in practice. The perceived importance of a pain management task did not affect the likelihood of it being undertaken. A good level of theoretical knowledge appeared not to affect the quality of a nurse's pain management practices. A lack of congruence was found between what the nurses said they do and what the nurses actually did. Observational data indicated that nurses generally did not follow current recommendations fully when managing pain. In several areas, the practices of the ward sisters appeared to be of a lower standard than more junior nurses. Nurses appeared to use non-expert decisionmaking strategies regardless of their years of experience or level of academic attainment. A hypothetico-deductive (analytical) model of decision-making seemed to be used. Several strategies, which might facilitate the application of theoretical knowledge in clinical decision-making and practice are considered, including the use of teaching rounds and clinical scenarios. These need evaluating, and further research is needed to identify other factors that affect pain management practices and decision-making strategies. How children's nurses make clinical decisions also needs further exploration. A revised conceptual framework is presented which suggests that, for post-operative pain management practices to be effective, nurses need to have not only the right attitude and the right knowledge but also the ability to make the right decision. However, it is probable that other factors, both individual and collective, are also involved, including ward culture, role-modelling and lack of motivation to change. The revised conceptual framework provides a basis for future research.
The Tilted Balance Of Healthcare

Man has started his journey from a homogenous environment devoid of any differentiation and discrimination. Slowly with the developing civilization, differences sprouted and harsh realities of prejudices surfaced. Today we live in a world where the globe is classified not geographically but on the scale of development in developed and developing countries. Apart from the three basic needs i.e. food, shelter and cloth, the other most important need is health. Nobel laureate Amartya Sen (2002) has described health as one ofthe most important conditions of human life and a critically significant constituent of human capabilities which we have reason to value. � Health of an individual does not affect only the household but the nation itself directly or indirectly in terms of treatment and health care cost, work hours lost, Disability adjusted life years (DALY), reduction in household income and GDP generation. A dividing line is drawn between poor and rich, within as well as between countries by disparity in resource allocation in health care. In the health-equals- money world, well-heeled societies enjoy high life expectancy and good quality of life owing to availability of best drugs, the best healthcare facilities. While enjoying such privileges, these affluent societies tend to neglect the plight of their underprivileged brothers from the developing countries who are dying for the want of better healthcare. The insurmountable burden of the diseases and conditions that are addressed by Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is confounding. The mammoth proportion of deaths attributed to these diseases warrants the need of evaluation of our goals and policies in our crusade against these diseases. This burden of death and suffering is heavily concentrated in the world's poorest countries. Despite the mushrooming of various global initiatives to bridge the gap among the haves and haves- not, a gigantic under-investment in health research relevant to the needs of low-and middle- income countries still persists. It is projected that approximately 9 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) was spent on healthcare worldwide (
Effect of Supplementation of Prebiotics of Mannan Oligosaccharide (MOS) on Growth Performance, Blood Parameters and Mortality Rate of Male Broiler Chicks under Induced Ascites by Sodium Chloride

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementation of different levels of peribiotic of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) (Celmanax) on performance and some blood parameters of broiler chicks under induced ascites. were randomly divided into treatments with replicates. The dietary treatments included: positive control (corn – soybean meal basal diet), negative control (induced ascites with sodium chloride supplementation in the drinking water), negative control with supplementation of ( and ml per liter of drinking water of mannan oligosaccharide. Feed intake, Body weight and feed conversion ratio were measured at the end of the experimental period ( d) . Dead birds were dissected for ascites symptoms. Blood and ascites parameters (Right ventricular weight to total ventricles ratio (RV/TV) were also measured at days of age. The statistical analysis of the data was done by using SAS software and comparison of the means were done by Tukey test at a significant level of . The results showed MOS increased weight gain and decreased feed conversion ratio in birds with ascites (P < . ). Both MOS levels significantly decreased the hemoglobin, red blood cells count, protein and hematocrit content of birds reared under induced ascites (P < . ). In addition, supplementation of cc/l MOS on drinking water significantly decreased mortality rate caused by ascites ( . ) and RV/TV index (P < . ). In Conclusion, the supplementation of cc MOS per liter of drinking water can improve growth performance of broiler chickens and can reduce the mortality rate of chickens reard unedr induced ascites.
