Pemanfaatan Citra Satelit untuk Penentuan Daerah Operasi Keamanan Laut dari Illegal Fishing (Studi Kasus di Perairan Natuna)
Authors: Surahman Surahman , Santoso Agus Iwan , Alam Tasdik Mustika , Setiyoko Andie
Published: June 2020

Indonesia merupakan Negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia dengan wilayah lautan yang sangat luas dan kekayaan ikan yang luar biasa. Hal tersebut memungkinkan adanya pencurian ikan (Illegal Fishing). Sasaran dari Illegal Fishing adalah suatu area yang banyak ikannya seperti di daerah pertemuan dua massa air dengan suhu yang berbeda (thermal front). Thermal front dapat dideteksi dengan memanfaatkan citra satelit penginderaan jauh NOAA-AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Advance Very High  resolution Radiometer).

 Penelitian ini menggunakan citra satelit NOAA 18 untuk mendeteksi  sebaran suhu permukaan laut dengan cepat dalam cakupan area yang luas . Berdasarkan  sebaran suhu permukaan laut ini maka dapat ditentukan posisi titik koordinat thermal front yang dijadikan sebagai Zona Potensi Penangkapan Ikan (ZPPI). Titik koordinat ZPPI dapat dihubungkan dengan  koordinat kapal ikan yang berasal Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) dan  operasi kapal pengawas Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP).

 Validasi menggunakan metode pengukuran jarak antara titik ZPPI dengan koordinat kapal ikan. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa ada hubungan antara titik ZPPI dengan koordinat kapal ikan dimana  jarak terjauh adalah 7 kilometer .Jarak tersebut masih di dalam cakupan radar KRI kelas parchim sejauh 40 mil atau 74,08 Km. Dengan demikian hasil tersebut bila dikaitkan dengan kemampuan jangkauan radar KRI maka titik koordinat ZPPI dapat dijadikan sebagai acuan dalam menentukan arah operasi. Berdasarkan dari pembuktian ini maka titik ZPPI dapat dijadikan sebagai masukan kepada TNI AL sebagai titik rawan Illegal Fishing yang dapat digunakan dalam menentukan daerah operasi pengamanan laut dari illegal fishing.

Published: June 2020

Rencana pembangunan breakwater merupakan bagian dari 8 tahap pembangunan Dermaga Lantamal III Pondokdayung di Tanjungpriok Jakarta. Dalam pembangunan breakwater dan perencanaan pemeliharaan pelabuhan perlu dilaksanakan analisa sedimentasi mengenai laju sedimentasi dan pola transpor sedimen.

Penentuan laju sedimentasi dan analisa transpor sedimen pada saat pembangunan breakwater perlu ditinjau terlebih dahulu dari analisa kondisi sekarang, sehingga penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tiga tahap : (1) penghitungan selisih volume dan selisih kedalaman pada titik – titik di setiap segmen yang telah ditentukan berdasarkan tiga buah Lembar Lukis Teliti (LLT) tahun 1993, 2001, dan 2009; (2) melaksanakan simulasi pemodelan numerik dengan menggunakan software SMS 9.0 pada kondisi saat ini yang di bandingkan dengan penghitungan manual berdasarkan LLT dan hasil penghitungan Dishidros berdasarkan data survei tahun 2009; dan (3) melaksanakan pemodelan numerik simulasi breakwater sesuai siteplan dari Disfaslanal.

Penghitungan selisih volume sedimen di lokasi penelitian sesuai area hitungan menunjukkan terjadi erosi dengan erosi rata – rata 4679,807 m3 per tahun. Begitu pula dengan penghitungan selisih kedalaman menunjukkan terjadi penurunan permukaan dasar laut dengan penurunan kedalaman rata – rata 0,006 meter per tahun. Berdasarkan penghitungan data lapangan sedimen suspensi rata – rata 0,0227 gr/ltr, deposisi antara 2,5 sampai dengan 7,5 cm per tahun. Sedangkan berdasarkan hasil analisa model sedimen suspensi rata –rata 0,182 gr/l, deposisi 3,6 cm per tahun. Pada model simulasi breakwater sedimen suspensi rata – rata 0,052 gr/ltr, deposisi di perairan 3,41 cm per tahun, di dalam kolam dermaga dan di pintu masuk kolam dermaga masing – masing 3,32 cm per tahun dan 2,46 cm per tahun.

Pada musim Timur pembangunan breakwater memberikan dampak sedimentasi yang cukup rendah, namun pada musim Barat dengan meninjau pola arus yang terjadi sedimentasi cenderung akan lebih tinggi.

Authors: Widisanto Harso , Pranowo Widodo S. , Simanjuntak Sahat Monang , Setiadi Hendrawan
Published: June 2020

Salah satu permasalahan dalam survei hidro-oseanografi adalah kendala teknis pada saat pengamatan pasut, seperti palem miring atau terlepas dari pondasinya, kemudian juga jika pengamatan menggunakan alat otomatis tidak jarang alat tersebut  hilang atau berpindah tempat, sehingga harus dilaksanakan pengamatan ulang. Penelitian ini melakukan eksperimen menentukan tipe pasut berdasarkan analisis harmonik terhadap data runtut waktu (time series) suhu permukaan laut di Pulau Pari (2 stasiun T-Logger), Kepulauan Seribu. Hal ini didasarkan kepada pertimbangan bahwa pasang surut dan suhu permukaan laut secara bersama-sama mendapatkan transferan energi matahari secara langsung, dan juga yang dipantulkan oleh bulan. Analisisharmonik menggunakan T_tide_v1.3 beta, kemudian konstanta harmonik yang diperoleh digunakan untuk melakukanperhitungan prediksi pasut. Tipe pasut ditentukan menggunakan rumus bilangan form. Hasil penelitian ini menghasilkan total sekitar 27 konstanta harmonik. Secara umum karakteristik suhu permukaan laut di Pulau Pari dipengaruhi oleh kombinasi sistem matahari dan bulan. Konstanta diurnal signifikan antara lain K1 (~ 1.1541°C,freq0.041781 cph), P1 (~0.38°C, freq 0.041553 cph), dan O1 (~0.06°C, freq 0.038731 cph).Konstanta semidiurnal signifikan antara lain S2 (~ 0.2321°C, freq 0.083333 cph), M2 (~0.1298°C, freq 0.080511 cph), N2 (~0.0772°C, freq 0.078999 cph), dan K2 (~ 0.0632 °C, freq 0.08356 cph). Konstanta laut dangkal (higher harmonics) signifikan antara lain MS4 (~ 0.047°C, freq 0.16384 cph) dan M4 (~0.025°C, freq 0.16102 cph). Tidak dihasilkan konstanta periode panjang signifikan dalam hal ini. Adapun tipe pasut yang dapat diturunkan dari konstanta harmonik di perairan Pulau Pari adalah diurnal (pasang surut harian tunggal).

Authors: Ahsin Sadia , Ashraf Hira , Saeed Gule Naghma
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Intense resource involvement invites educationists to think of innovative methods for the continuation of CBL sessions while remaining within the restricted budget. The current study was planned to develop CBL sessions for second-year MBBS class during the endocrine module utilizing minimal resources and to determine the effectiveness of customized CBL methods by qualitatively analyzing experiences of the involved faculty.

Methods: This study was conducted at Foundation University, Islamabad in six months after ethical approval. In the first phase, resource limitations like time slots, well-equipped rooms, and trained faculty were identified. CBL method was adapted and modified from the Maastricht PBL ‘Seven Jump’ process. 7 CBL sessions were conducted as per the devised method. Semi-structured interviews of 9 CBL facilitators were recorded, transcribed, validated, and analyzed in the second phase.

Results: All facilitators believed that these sessions provided a productive, focused, intense yet enjoyable learning experience. 4 considered that large groups hindered adequate student participation, while 2 out of 9 themselves felt nervous due to large class sizes. Recap by the senior faculty member was suggested.

Conclusion: Modified CBL sessions were perceived by facilitators as an enjoyable and intense learning opportunity for both students and themselves, despite being conducted in a large group utilizing minimal resources.

Epizyotomi, bebeğin güvenli
doğumunu sağlamak, perine tonüsünü korumak ve istenmeyen yırtıkları ön­lemek
amacıyla yapılan insizyondur. Perineal ağrı, özellikle postpartum ilk 3 gün
boyunca, hareket etme, idrar yapma ve defekasyon, emzirme gibi günlük akti­viteleri
olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle epizyotomiden kaynaklanan ağrı tedavi
edilmelidir. Son yıllarda farmakolojik olmayan yöntemler ya tek
başlarına ya da birlikte ağrıyı azaltmada etkili olmaktadırlar. Temel amaç ağrı
tedavisinde analjezik kulla-nım oranını azaltarak yaşam kalitesini
yükseltmektir. Bu çalışmalardan 2007- 2017 arasında olan özellikle non-farmakolojik yöntemlerin
etkilerini inceleyen 17 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Epizyotomi sonrası perineal ağrının giderilmesinde soğuk
jel pedi ve buz paketi uygulamasının, düşük frekanslı Transkutan Elektriksel Sinir Stimülasyonu (TENS) ve yüksek fre­kanslı
TENS’in, bilek-ayak akapunktur
uygulaması­nın, lavanta-timolü ilave edilerek hazırlanan yıkama solüsyonunun,
tarçın
merhemi ve at-kuyruğu merhe­minin etkili olduğu, Düşük Doz Lazer Tedavisi (DDLT)’nin,
kulak akapunktur uygulamasının etkili olmadığı saptanmıştır. Lavanta yağı ile hazırlanan oturma banyosunun bir çalışmada
etkili olduğu sapta­nırken diğer çalışmada etkili olmadığı saptanmıştır.
Epizyotomi sonrası perineal ağrının giderilmesinde en etkili yöntemlerin kanıt

Explorando categorías
Authors: Vega Montiel Aimée
Published: June 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo es reflexionar en torno a las posibilidades de incorporar la categoría de género al análisis de los procesos comunicativos y, en particular, de uno muy concreto: el proceso integral de recepción televisiva (Vega, 2004), en el caso específico del grupo de mujeres de las amas de casa. El supuesto central del que se parte es que la identidad de género determina las formas particulares en las que los sujetos se relacionan con la realidad social y, en concreto, con los mensajes mediáticos. Los argumentos de esta propuesta se apoyan en algunas de las aportaciones derivadas de una investigación empírica llevada a cabo entre amas de casa mexicanas, en el contexto de las elecciones presidenciales de 2000, con base en entrevistas en profundidad y en grupos de discusión.
La temática ambiental en la prensa escrita.
Authors: Carabaza Julieta
Published: June 2020

Este trabajo analiza la cobertura ambiental que tres medios de comunicación de la ciudad de Saltillo, Coahuila: Vanguardia, El Diario de Coahuila y Palabra, hicieron durante el primer trimestre de 2002. Es un análisis de contenido de notas informativas, reportajes, desplegados, editoriales y secciones especializadas, realizado durante un periodo de 30 días consecutivos.El estudio tiene como punto de partida una pregunta central: ¿los temas ambientales forman parte de la agenda de los periódicos que circulan diariamente en el municipio de Saltillo, Coahuila? El análisis de los datos ofrece algunos elementos interesantes. En primer lugar, la temática ambiental sí es incluida en la prensa diaria, pero con un "bajo perfil", además, se evidencia que existe poco trabajo de reflexión o de investigación en el desarrollo de los tópicos que la conforman, que permita incidir en la construcción de una opinión publica, cuya conciencia se encuentre más comprometida con el entorno natural. Por otro lado, su presencia está dada en función de los acontecimientos ambientales que se presentan de manera coyuntural en la sociedad o en función de las fuentes generadoras de la misma información, principalmente las gubernamentales.
Medios de comunicación y crisis de representación política
Authors: Casas Pérez María de la Luz
Published: June 2020

Actualmente los medios de comunicación ejercen una función  importante en México:  son fundamentales para el ejercicio de la crítica y por otro, su función es primordial en la conformación de nuevos espacios de gestación para la opinión pública. No obstante, hay que recordar que si bien su papel es sustantivo para el desarrollo democrático del país, su actuar no es autónomo ni independiente de sus propios intereses, ni de otras condiciones sociopolíticas o culturales vividas en el país en los últimos años; por el contrario, responde al proceso mismo de democratización de la sociedad mexicana que ha traído como resultado un reacomodo de las posiciones de poder que anteriormente detentaban ciertos actores sociales, a un vacío de representación política, de credibilidad y confianza en las instituciones y en las autoridades de gobierno. Este trabajo apunta hacia el análisis de las condiciones actuales de los medios de comunicación en México dentro del marco de una sociedad en vías de democratización que muestra todavía señales de autoritarismo, para explicar que, de manera consustancial a otros procesos que se generan en sociedades democráticas en vías de desarrollo, las estructuras sociales y políticas sufren procesos de reacomodo que conducen a crisis de representación política.

The article practically substantiates the use of the matrix of key performance indicators (KPI) in assessing the effectiveness of the internal control system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The research conducted in the article is the result of the practical implementation of the developed comprehensive methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the internal control system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the study conducted its decomposition and separately: evaluated the selected indicators of the effectiveness of the internal control system through appropriate testing and analysis of financial (accounting) statements; a matrix of key performance indicators is formed; the generalized indicator of efficiency of functioning of system of internal control is defined; the corresponding assessment of efficiency of system of internal control according to the chosen criterion is carried out. The results of the study made it possible to determine a numerical value that can objectively indicate the effectiveness of the internal control system of the institution. The results of the evaluation of indicators can be further systematized in the appropriate database for the formation of statistical information and taken into account in the risk-oriented planning of internal audit activities. The results of the study in the article can be used in part and applied thematically when checking other indicators in the internal control system. The article formulates the prospect of further research in the subject area to improve the accuracy of assessing the effectiveness of the ICS, as well as in finding alternative methods for its evaluation.
High-fidelity Modeling of Rotationally Fissioned Asteroids
Authors: Davis Alex B. , Scheeres Daniel J.
Published: June 2020

Binary asteroids represent an important aspect of the dynamical evolution of small bodies and may provide insight into the evolutionary history of these populations as a whole. Many past studies have focused on Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack-driven spinup and disruption as a pathway for binary formation in the inner solar system. While these studies have shown the likelihood that such a process occurred, they are generally limited by assumptions and simplifications in their dynamics models. In this study we apply a high-fidelity and computationally efficient model of binary asteroid dynamics in order to understand the potential effect of higher-order gravity terms and nonplanar dynamics on binary fission. We apply this dynamics model to 66391 Moshup (1999 KW4), 8567 (1996 HW1), and 185851 (2000 DP107) as a representative set of binary and contact binary systems to understand the implications for their fission and formation. Our analysis supports the importance of secondary fission for stable low-mass binary formation as initially suggested by Jacobson and Scheeres. Additionally, we find that the inclusion of higher-fidelity dynamics distorts the dynamical structure of the system, creating a pathway for the secondary to re-collide with the primary. The increased complexity from the inclusion of nonplanar dynamics also suggests more excited spin states of the asteroids during disruptive events such as secondary escape and fission.

Authors: Balkanski Stefan V. , Simeonova Joana I. , Gueorguiev Stanislav R. , Petkova-Gueorguieva Elina S. , Gitev Ivan G. , Getov Ilko N.
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Value-added pharmacy services (VAPS) are additional services to the traditional pharmacy activities, which do not in­clude dispensing of medicinal products and professional consultation. These services have cost reduction effect on the healthcare system and add value to the work of the pharmacist as a healthcare professional.

Aim: To assess the pharmacists’ attitudes and expectations towards the remuneration of value-added pharmacy services (VAPS) in Bulgaria.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study including pharmacists working in community pharmacies was carried out between August 2018 and October 2018. A web-based 15-item questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire was distributed to all members of the Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Union (n=5165). Two hundred thirty-three questionnaires were filled in and returned (response rate of 4.5%). Data were processed by SPSS v. 24.0.

Results: Over 51% of the community pharmacies in Bulgaria offer VAPS, mainly measuring blood pressure (67.4%) and blood glucose (12.9%). Over two-thirds of the pharmacists considered charging a remuneration fee for blood pressure measurement irrelevant. About 30.5% of those who held the opposite opinion proposed that the fee charged should not be higher than EUR 2.56. Over 44% of the re­spondents proposed that the fee for blood glucose measurement should not be higher than the same amount. Most pharmacists (98.3%) supported the idea of charging a remuneration fee for injections and influenza vaccination in a pharmacy.

Conclusion: The study shows that pharmacists in Bulgaria are ready to offer VAPS, but additional remuneration for the services should be provided.

Authors: Stoyanova Nina S. , Konareva-Kostianeva Marieta I. , Mitkova-Hristova Vesela T.
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Severe cases of thyroid eye disease with high intraocular pressure and visual field defects are a real diagnostic challenge requiring the exclusion of dysthyroid optic neuropathy and differential diagnosis with glaucoma.

Aim: To report а case of a patient with active thyroid eye disease (TED), decreased visual acuity and elevated intraocular pressure.

Materials and methods: We present a 52-year-old woman with TED in both eyes, class 2c3c4a6a (NOSPECS), with 6 points (by CAS) activity, who received corticosteroid therapy to a maximum cumulative dose of 5750 mg, with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and topical antihypertensive treatment with tapticom, brizadopt, and luxfen. The patient received full ophthalmological exam, tonometry, exophthalmometry, computer perimetry, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and computed tomography (CT) scan of orbits.

Results: The following results were obtained: BCVA of right eye = 0.6, BCVA of left eye = 0.3; TOD = 26 mm Hg and ТОS = 21 mm Hg; exophthalmometry: 30 mm for the right eye and 31 mm for the left one; diplopia in all directions, edema and hyperemia of the eyelids and conjunctiva, eyelids retraction, sluggish pupil reactions, normal color vision, transparent ocular media, indistinct borders of the optic nerve disc, without glaucomatous excavation, tortuosity and dilation of the venules, retina - without diabetic changes, maculas - with normal reflex; CP datа for a localized inferotemporal visual field defect, CT data for thickening of all extraocular muscles, soft tissue orbital edema, and optic nerves compression.

Conclusion: Our results confirmed the presence of dysthyroid optic neuropathy based on the decreased visual acuity, ophthalmo­scopic evaluation of the optic nerve head, lack of glaucomatous OCT changes, atypical perimetric changes and the CT data. The optic neuropathy is the most severe complication in patients with TED which develops due to the compression of the optic nerve and/or its blood supply from the enlarged extraocular muscles and soft tissues in the orbital apex and due to the mechanical tension of the optic nerve in cases moderate or severe proptosis is present.
The Role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma - a Mini-Review
Authors: Kyurkchiyan Silva G. , Popov Todor M. , Mitev Vanyo I. , Kaneva Radka P.
Published: June 2020

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is a common malignancy in men. Bulgaria is one of the countries in Europe with the highest incidence and mortality rates of the aggressive, severe disease of laryngeal cancer. Proven etiological factors are the abuse of tobacco and alcohol beverages. Despite the progress of technologies of multimodal medical treatment, survival rates have not reached satisfactory levels. Over the last few decades, scientific and clinical research data have led to a growing interest in exploring potential biomarkers. In the last years, non-coding RNAs have become promising biomarkers. They are important key regulators in both normal and tumour specific biological processes as well as in the response to environmental factors and treatment, including chemo- and radiotherapy. Studies have shown ectopic expression of a number of ncRNAs in laryngeal cancer. Published data provide evidence of the lncRNAs and miRNAs that could help us better understand complex carcinogenesis in laryngeal cancer and would provide reliable diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
Three new species of the genus Stephos Scott, 1892 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida, Stephidae) from Jeju Island, Korea
Authors: Moon Seong Yong , Soh Ho Young , Cho Dae Hyun
Published: June 2020

During general field surveys carried out recently to collect benthopelagic copepods from near the substrate of the shallow waters off Jeju Island, Korea, a few specimens of three new species of Stephos Scott, 1892, were collected. The new species are placed in the genus Stephos because of the following combination of features: absence of seta on the basal exite of maxillule, and male right leg 5 ending in an unarmed claw-like and/or mitten-like segment. Stephos jejuensissp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by body length 0.92 mm, left side of the female genital double-somite with protruding lobes, antennule that extends beyond the distal area of the genital double-somite, and the male leg 5 terminal complex. Stephos concavussp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by the genital double-somite with protruding lobes on both sides, and the presence of larger spinules on the distomedial margin of leg 5. Stephos fortipessp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by its longer body length, 1.12 mm long in the female, antennules that extend to the end of the genital double-somite, and the presence of a covered row of minute spinules on the ventral surface of the genital operculum in the female. Until now, 35 species of stephids were known worldwide.

Biological invasion of aphids and other insects has been increased due to long distance commercial transportation of plant material. The bamboo-aphid-parasitoid association is strictly specific and even though it does not develop interactions with the local environment it should be listed as part of the fauna of southwestern Europe. On-going research regarding aphids and their aphidiine parasitoids in Spain has yielded a new association ofTrioxys liuiChou & Chou, 1993 with an undescribed species ofTakecallisaphids on bamboo,Phyllostachysspp. Here we present the first association ofT. liuiwith aphids of the genusTakecallisthat attack bamboos.Trioxys liuiis known as a parasitoid ofCranaphis formosana(Takahashi, 1924) andPhyllaphoides bambusicolaTakahashi, 1921 on bamboos in China and Russia. The accidental introduction of this parasitoid species to southwestern Europe has been probably realized through transportation of contaminated bamboo plant material. In the current study, a new host association is recorded forT. liui. Its potential to invade other bamboo-associated aphids and the significance of the tritrophic bamboo-aphid-parasitoid interactions in the new environments are also discussed.

Gonatopus vietOlmi, 1986 was originally described from Vietnam based on a single female. No further distribution records or hosts have been documented since its original discovery. In the present study, this species is newly recorded from China and its host is confirmed asStirellus capitatus(Distant, 1918) using DNA barcoding techniques. The utility of DNA barcoding to discover host-Dryinidae associations is discussed.
Evaluation of the early term healing effects of resveratrol on corneal wounds in rats
Authors: PERÇİN Hatice Çilem , SARITAŞ Zülfükar Kadir
Published: June 2020

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of resveratrol (RES) treatment on corneal wound healing. Randomly divided into 2 groups were 26-week-old male Wistar albino rats. Group 1 was the control group (C) and group 2 was the RES group. A 2–3-mm-long vertical incision was made centrally in the right cornea of each rat to the descemet membrane using loupe magnification (2.5X) and the wounds were sutured using 10/0 nylon material. In the RES group, the rats were fed 30 mg/kg/day RES via oral gavage; the C and RES groups were provided food and water ad libitum for only 11 days. The matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), nitric oxide, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and antioxidant status (AOS) were measured. On day 11, the rats were euthanized and examined histologically. The score of 3 for connective tissue proliferation, in both the C and RES groups, indicated rates of 11.1% and 0.0%, respectively (P < 0.05). The score of 3 for inflammatory cell reaction, in both the C and RES groups, indicated rates of 11.1% and 0.0%, respectively (P < 0.05). The MDA results were as follows: days 0 and 11, 1.61 ± 0.316 and 2.854 ± 0.572 for the C and RES groups, respectively. The increase in group C was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The MMP-9 level was 1.115 ± 0.197 and 2.842 ± 0.368, respectively, in the 2 groups. The increase in the RES group was statistically significant (P < 0.01). According to the AOS, the intergroup difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). As a result, RES inhibited vascularization of the corneal wound and retained the transparency of the corneal tissue. It is therefore suggested that extended studies and follow-up times are needed to better evaluate the outcomes of RES on the healing corneal wounds.
Covid-19 et réchauffement climatique
Authors: de Perthuis Christian
Published: June 2020

Dans un ouvrage paru l’automne dernier 1 , Christian de Perthuis nous alertait sur le temps qu’il nous reste pour tenter d’enrayer le changement climatique en cours et ses lourdes conséquences pour notre planète et ses habitants. Face au « tic-tac de l’horloge climatique », il soulignait combien la voie était étroite pour mettre en œuvre des mesures efficaces de lutte contre le changement climatique sans creuser les inégalités sociales. Depuis la sortie de cet ouvrage, l’horloge climatique a subi un choc inattendu, celui du Covid-19 suivi d’un confinement de grande ampleur des populations dans leur pays, avec des impacts majeurs sur la mobilité, la production, la vie sociale et, par voie de conséquence, sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre à l’origine du changement climatique. Christian de Perthuis propose ici une analyse de l’impact de cette catastrophe sanitaire sur le calendrier de lutte contre le changement climatique : un peu de temps gagné, un effet rebond sans doute moindre comparé aux crises antérieures, et un pic d’émission probablement atteint en 2019. Il alerte en particulier sur les plans de relance de l’activité qui vont suivre car tous n’auront pas les mêmes préoccupations vis-à-vis de la transition écologique. D’où l’importance, pour l’Union européenne et les pouvoirs publics nationaux, de ne pas sombrer dans l’amnésie et de faire de la crise actuelle un catalyseur de changements substantiels en matière d’action climatique, pour lesquels l’auteur propose diverses voies de financement. Le tic-tac a légèrement ralenti mais l’urgence climatique demeure.  S.D.
Il n’y a plus d’après
Authors: Blanc Yannick
Published: June 2020

Comme indiqué en ouverture de ce forum « Covid-19 : causes, impacts et stratégies », le sujet de la crise du Covid-19 et de ses conséquences n’est pas près d’être épuisé, et il prendra place peu à peu dans le contexte général d’analyse de nombreux champs d’études. Il nous est cependant apparu important d’en évoquer, encore « à chaud », différents aspects, d’ordre économique, social, sanitaire, alimentaire, écologique… Yannick Blanc montre ici combien cet événement — que l’on peut qualifier de « rupture » dans le langage habituel de la prospective — rend particulièrement nécessaire le recours à la prospective. Soulignant que la crise sanitaire vient d’enclencher un « ébranlement systémique » de notre société (qui couvait depuis longtemps), il en présente « les trois cercles de l’onde de choc » (ampleur de l’épidémie, crise du pétrole, et changement de stratégie de nombreux acteurs économiques à moyen terme). Il souligne ensuite les faiblesses institutionnelles (en particulier de l’État) pour faire preuve de résilience face aux incertitudes qui demeurent, et en appelle à la vigilance prospective pour construire l’après sur des bases solides et partagées.

Dans le cadre du forum consacré par Futuribles à la crise du Covid-19 et ses impacts, divers experts ont été invités à réagir et évoquer, encore « à chaud », ce que leur inspire la situation actuelle… Dominique Bourg et Sophie Swaton, engagés de longue date en faveur de la transition écologique, présentent ici un agenda d’action, qu’ils avaient commencé à élaborer dans le cadre d’un collectif avant le déclenchement de la crise, mais que celle-ci a rendu d’autant plus urgent. Appelant à un « retour sur Terre », le manifeste qu’ils publient en juin, une semaine avant la sortie de ce numéro, formule 35 propositions concrètes pour replacer nos économies, nos sociétés et nos institutions sur un chemin de transition respectueux de notre planète. Dominique Bourg et Sophie Swaton en présentent ici les grandes lignes, parmi lesquelles la mise en place d’une chambre parlementaire dédiée au long terme, l’instauration d’un revenu de transition écologique… S.D.
L’orphelinage précoce continue de diminuer au début du XXI e siècle
Authors: Flammant Cécile
Published: June 2020

En France métropolitaine, environ 610 000 enfants et jeunes de moins de 25 ans sont orphelins d’un parent ou des deux en 2015, dont 250 000 mineurs. La proportion d’orphelins a diminué depuis 1999, grâce aux progrès dans la lutte contre la mortalité des adultes ; cependant cette baisse aurait été nettement plus importante sans le retard des naissances, qui a eu pour conséquence d’élever l’âge moyen des parents et donc leur risque de mourir lorsque leurs enfants sont encore jeunes. Plus de neuf orphelins mineurs sur dix vivent avec un parent, le plus souvent dans une famille monoparentale. Les familles avec orphelins présentent plus de risque d’avoir un faible niveau de vie que les familles sans orphelin : ce désavantage s’explique par le fait que les premières sont nettement plus souvent monoparentales et que la position socioéconomique du parent présent est moins favorable. Cependant, lorsque l’on tient compte de la structure familiale et de la position socioéconomique, le désavantage des familles avec orphelins par rapport aux autres familles disparaît.

Contexte : Les stratégies de dépistage du virus de l’immunodéficience humaine (VIH) « hors les murs » ont fortement contribué à augmenter le nombre des personnes connaissant leur statut sérologique en Afrique subsaharienne. Cet article analyse l’articulation entre les exigences des bailleurs et les contraintes du terrain dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du dépistage hors les murs en Côte d’Ivoire. Méthodes : Une recherche qualitative a été menée dans trois districts sanitaires de Côte d’Ivoire (Man, Cocody-Bingerville et Aboisso) en 2015-2016. Les données étaient issues d’entretiens conduits auprès de prestataires communautaires d’organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) d’exécution, et de personnes dépistées, ainsi que par l’observation d’activités de dépistage du VIH hors les murs. Résultats : Les organisations d’exécution se sentent « sous pression » face aux objectifs des bailleurs jugés inatteignables et au déficit de formation et de financement. Dès lors, les prestataires n’observent pas systématiquement les règles en matière de conseil, consentement éclairé et confidentialité, dites des « trois C », et dépistent des personnes « hors cibles » (géographiques et populationnelles). Discussion  : Deux types de contraintes pèsent sur les ONG d’exécution : celles issues du fonctionnement de l’aide internationale (financements inadéquats par rapport aux coûts réels, objectifs trop élevés, chaîne d’intermédiaires importante) et celles liées au contexte local (espaces non adaptés pour garantir la confidentialité et activité professionnelle des populations cibles). Conclusion : Les pressions que subissent à différents niveaux les ONG d’exécution se font au détriment de la qualité du dépistage. Il apparaît aujourd’hui essentiel de développer une approche plus qualitative dans la définition des stratégies et de ses critères d’évaluation.
