Moringa oleifera leaves contain antioxidant compounds that play a role in preventing lipid oxidation in beef. This study aimed to find out the best product and comprehend the chemical quality of the result of marinated bali beef with moringa oleifera leaves extract, moringa oleifera leaves tea, and moringa oleifera leaves powder. Ma- rinating in this study was conducted for 1 hour at cold temperatures. The research design used was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The four treatments were meat that was not marinated (P0), 0,4% of moringa leaves extract marinated meat (P1), 0,4% of moringa leaves tea marinated meat (P2), 0,4% of moringa leaves powder marinated meat (P3). The variables observed were moisture, ash, protein, fat and carbohy- drate. The results indicated that the marinated bali beef in moringa leaves extract, moringa leaves tea, and moringa leaves powder had a significant effect (P<0,05) on protein content which tended to increase and the fat content decreases, but had no significant effect (P>0,05) on moisture, ash, and carbohydrate contents. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that for marinating bali beef, the best used is moringa oleifera leaves powder filtrate of 0,4% which can increase the protein content and decrease the fat content of bali beef.

Bali beef is a meat that is quite attractive to the public. This study aims to find out the best ingredients and deter- mine the organoleptic value of Bali beef marinated using fresh moringa leaves, moringa leaf tea, and moringa leaf powder. Marinate the meat for 1 hour at room temperature. The research design used was a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replications. The four treatments were meat marinated with aquadest (P0); meat marinated using fresh moringa leaves 0.4% (P1); meat marinated using moringa leaf tea 0.4% (P2); and meat marinated using moringa leaf powder 0.4% (P3). The variables observed in this study were organoleptic tests of color, aroma, taste, texture, tenderness, and overall acceptance which were assessed by 15 semi-trained panelists. The results showed that Bali beef marinated using fresh moringa leaves, moringa leaf tea, and moringa leaf pow- der had a significant effect (P<0.05) on aroma, tenderness, and overall acceptance, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on color, taste, and texture. The results of this study can be concluded that the best Bali beef marinade is using moringa leaf powder filtrate as much as 0.4% seen from the increase in the value of aroma, tenderness, and overall acceptance of the panelists.

Published: February 2024

The native pasture of Insana sub-district produces potential forage but the long dry season limited the vegetative production. A study has been conducted to analyse forage production, botanical composition and carrying capacity of the native pasture on site of Gua Bitauni village at the end of dry season. The methods applied were survey, ob- servation and measurement on the spot. The forage production was measured using the Halls method, the botanical composition was analysed using a dry weight rank and carrying capacity was determined using the Voisin formula. The results showed that the fresh and the dry weights of the forage were 1.70 t/ha and 1.59 t/ha, respectively. The botanical composition comprised of grasses 84.64%, legumes 13.42%, and weeds 1.94%. Carrying capacity number was 0.71 AU/ha. As the pasture quality was low it was suggested to introduce legumes and other grass species that have strong roots and resistant to drought.

The improvement Bali cattle genetics and increasing population is carried out by the SIWAB UP- SUS government program, that is Artificial Insemination (AI). In fact the result of AI was below of 30%, therefore needed a study was conducted to determine the reproductive performance of Bali cattle on several parity. Repro- ductive performance that is Service per Conception (S/C), Conception Rate (CR), Days Open (DO), Calving Interval (CI), and Postpartum Estrus (PPE) in different parities. The results showed that for Parity 1, Parity 2, Parity 3, and Parity 4, the respective values were for S/C ratio of 1.33, 1.16, 1.23, and 1.13; CR value of 70.00%, 86.66%, 80.00%, and 86.67%; DO value of 93.73 days, 90.33 days, 93.27 days, and 88.93 days; CI value of 367.83 days, 368.00 days, 366.30 days, and 362.77 days; and EPP value of 72.16 days, 71.86 days, 72.13 days, and 68.83 days. The analysis of reproductive performance of female cattle in this region indicates normal fertility, and the best performance was Parity 4. In conclusion, the reproductive performance of Bali cattle differs for each parity in the Awangpone Subdis- trict of Bone Regency, South Sulawesi.

The purpose of this study was to determine the productivity of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) planted with leguminosae at various doses of bioorganic fertilizers. This study used a completely randomized design with two factorial patterns. The first factor was the type of leguminosae (T= without leguminosae; R= Arachi pintoi; L= Alysicarpus vaginalis; and the second factor was the dose of bioorganic fertilizer (D0= 0 kg Nha-1; D1= 100 kg Nha-1; D2= 200 kg Nha-1; and D3= 300 kg Nha-1) There were 12 treatment combinations, each treatment was repeated 5 times so that it consisted of 60 experimental units. The observed variables included growth, yield and growth characteristics variable. The results showed that there was no interaction between leguminous species and fertilizer dosage, both leguminous species only increased leaf area per pot, bioorganic fertilizer D1 and D2 doses tended to increase, while D3 dose increased leaf dry weight, total forage dry weight, and leaf area per pot of elep- hant grass (Pennisetum purpureum). It was concluded that the type of leguminous did not affect the productivity of elephant grass, the dose of bioorganic fertilizer increased crop yields, the highest yields at a dose of 300 kg Nha-1 bioorganic fertilizer.

Authors: A. Y. ALFARESI , HERNAMAN I. , SAEFULHADJAR D.
Published: February 2024

Rice bran mixed with rice husk often occurs in the feed industry, as a result of scarcity of rice bran as animal feed. The aim of the study was to study the heap density and compaction density of rice bran obtained from various districts mixed with rice husk. The study was conducted experimentally using a 2-way classification design consis- ting of 4 treatments of rice bran and rice husk mixtures and 5 districts. Data were analyzed by means of variance followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that the mixture of rice bran and rice husk in various districts showed significant differences (P<0.05). Adulteration of rice bran by rice husk can be detected by adding 60% rice husk to bulk density and 40% to compact bulk density. The value of compact bulk density is faster in detecting the adulteration of rice bran with rice husk compared to the value of bulk density. The conclusion of this study is that at the level of 40% addition of rice husk, adulteration of rice bran can be determined by measuring the compact bulk density.

Case series of infantile systemic hyalinosis: Suggested diagnostic criterion
Authors: Aljijakli Ahmad , Alsharef Raghad
Published: February 2024

Background:
Infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) is a rare autosomal recessive disease which happens within the first weeks of life. It is present in Saudi Arabia due to positive parental consanguinity. A suggestive diagnostic criterion was proposed which would be helpful in determining ISH.
Case Presentation:
Seven children were diagnosed with infantile systemic hyalinosis based on clinical pictures and histopathological examination. A prospective consecutive and observational study was designed to determine the diagnostic criteria of ISH. On clinical examination, all patients had joints contractures which lead to frog like position, hyperpigmentation overlying the distal joints, in addition to failure to thrive. Only five patients of seven (71.42%) had erythematous papules coalesce to form plaque on the posterior neck. Out of seven, four patients (57.14%) had nodules (perianal & subcutaneous), and gingival hypertrophy. Three patients of seven (42.85%) had intractable diarrhea. And just one patient (14.28%) had small pearly skin papules on the face. Hyaline deposits were evident in histopathological examination of the skin biopsies for all the patients. Although, severity index and genetic study was unavailable
Conclusion:
Infantile systemic hyalinosis is a congenital disease characterized by excessive hyaline deposits. Diagnostic criterion was evaluated for the seven patients as three major criteria and five minor criteria. It was suggested that the presence of all three major criteria or two major and two minor criteria is essential for the diagnosis of infantile systemic hyalinosis. The diagnostic criterion would help in the early evaluation of the disease prognosis and would enhance early intervention.
Climate Governance and multilevel policy practices in Thailand and Malaysia

Published: February 2024

Objectives: This paper investigates Thailand and Malaysia climate governance policy in practice within their multi-level governance structures. Thailand presents a unique case of a unitary state with a degree of deconcentration and decentralization, while Malaysia showcases a federal state with a high degree of centralization. Methodology: The paper collected and analyzed both primary and secondary data. In-depth interviews with government officials, NGOs, and international organizations were conducted online and onsite in Thailand and Malaysia from May 2022 to September 2023. Interview data was triangulated with secondary data from key national policy documents on climate change and related issues. This paper examines the contributions and hindrances of multi-level governance on climate governance and highlights some lessons learned from both countries. Results: It concludes that multi-level government systems provide opportunities for various stakeholders to engage in decision-making and create policy innovation. However, the administration of decision-making in these systems can be constrained by tensions within these systems, between tendencies towards the centralization of decision-making, and little engagement between subnational governments and local-level stakeholders. Conclusions: Overall, we assert that clear direction and guidance at the national level complemented by mechanisms that engage local stakeholders in administration and civil society is essential to achieve overarching climate action goals regardless of the administrative system.
Continuities of Consciousness, Life-Worlds, and Numinous Experience: Cognitive-Phenomenological Foundations for an Empirical Neo-Shamanism
Authors: Hunt Harry T.
Published: February 2024

Numinous experience—as the felt sense of the sacred—evokes feelings of allone unity, communality, humility, and healing. Its schematization in the absolutes of traditional religion can also be seen as all-encompassing symbolic unifications of an otherwise fragmented human life-world—as more analytically depicted in the life-world phenomenologies of Husserl and Heidegger. In both feeling and concept the numinous would be the semantic amplification of the more concrete organism-surround nonduality of non symbolic organisms—as reflected in a primary consciousness shared across Uexkuell’s sentient animal umwelten and Gibson’s “envelopes of flow.” H usserl’s phenomenology of passive synthesis and James on pure experience can be understood as intuiting the implicit forms underlying such a primary transspecies consciousness, as both differentiated into these concrete lifeworlds, to the level of the inferably sentient protozoa, and abstractly amplified as the human numinous. The latter, with its original social template in an ethically responsible shamanism, becomes similarly responsible in the contemporary context of a human caused global climate crisis for the care and conservation of that Spirit it both develops as such and accurately intuits as a universal is-like shared with all sentient beings.
Authentic Mindfulness Within Mindfulness-Based Interventions: A Qualitative Study of Participants' Experiences

Published: February 2024

There are concerns that participants of some modern mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are receiving a superficial form of mindfulness training. However, empirical investigation of this issue according to participants’ first-hand experiences has been limited. Thus, this qualitative study aimed to capture the first-hand perspectives relating to authentic mindfulness of participants who had recently attended an MBI in the UK. Ten adults completed a recorded, online semistructured interview. Based on a thematic analysis, the following four master themes were identified: (a) authentic mindfulness as a construct, (b) positive aspects of the training, (c) something missing, and (d) recommendations for authenticity. Although all participants experienced benefits from the MBI, they felt that the mindfulness training they received lacked spiritual depth. Implications for the design and delivery of MBIs are discussed.
Western Buddhism and Transpersonal Psychology: Cross-Hermeneutic and Engaged Approaches
Authors: Banerji Debashish
Published: February 2024

Contemporary Buddhism has been fashioned from cross-cultural interactions between a long history of Asian traditions and the expansionist drive of modernity. As part of this engagement, Buddhism, particularly in the West, has developed a close relation with transpersonal psychology. This essay forms an introduction to the special issue of articles approaching this relation between Buddhism and psychology in different ways. While some articles probe the difference in aims of the two disciplines, some are concerned with the decontextualized uses of Buddhist techniques such as mindfulness, some explore the possibilities of Buddhist practice in cognitive or other psychological terms and some ground Buddhism in ecopsychological concerns as forms of engagement. This paper outlines the historiography of modern Buddhism and introduces the papers in this special issue of IJTS.
Nondual States Are Not a Thing: This Inspiring New Age Spiritual Idea is Neither Advaita Vedanta Nor Psychology
Authors: Hartelius Glenn
Published: February 2024

The term “nondual states” has gained some currency as applied to states of mind in which the sense of self is softened, expanded, or shifted from conventional experience. Nonduality is a metaphysical concept about the nature of reality, commonly associated with the Advaita Vedanta school of Indian religion. New Age religious thought has applied the term “nondual” to states of consciousness that are believed to contact or apprehend this speculated metaphysical ideal. However, this use is incompatible with lineage-based teachings of Advaita Vedanta, inadequately precise to serve as a psychological construct, and improper as an insertion of New Age metaphysical notions into a psychological context. The paper draws on the author’s personal engagement with doctrines of Advaita Vedanta received from a scholar and lineage-holding teacher, Carol Whitfield.

This review aims to summarize the world's scientific sources that highlight the current vision of the role of the brain glymphatic system in the utilisation of end metabolites from the central nervous system. It has been reported that protein clots or aggregates that are produced in brain cells and, importantly, failure of their elimination can cause cognitive problems in neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's dis- ease, as well as the other neurodegenerative diseases, the aging process can be reproduced in experimental models by overproducing these conglomerates. Current investigations are focused as well on clarifying changes in brain glymphatic drainage in the condition of traumatic brain injury. Modern research has shown that acute brain injury, including traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or stroke, dramatically alters glymphatic function. It is evident that aging is a critical risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. It has also been experimentally proven that glymphatic activity decreases with aging. Accordingly, this can lead to the accumulation of misfolded and hyperphosphorylated proteins, and thus the brain becomes vulnerable to the development of neurodegenerative pathology. Comprehensive analysis of the causes and mechanisms of glymphatic system dysfunction will help to predict and develop methods for diagnosing and treating serious neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injuries.

Published: February 2024

Obesity and vitamin D deficiency are risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are often coexisting. The identification of new biochemical factors that may modify the cardiovascular effects of vitamin D in obesity remains relevant. The aim of study: to estimate the role of the H2 S / cystathionine-γ-lyase system in the mechanisms of cardioprotective effect of vitamin D in diet-in-duced obesity. Methods. The experiments were carried out on 40 white male laboratory rats in accordance with the principles of bioethics (Directive 2010/63/EU). The active form of vitamin D – 1,25(OH)2 D3 was administered to animals with a model of diet-induced obesity (DIO) for 2 weeks. Propargylglycine and NaHS were used to modulate the state of the H 2 S / cystathionine-γ-lyase system. Levels of H2 S, caspase-3, TNFα, HSP60, HSP70, and oxidative stress markers were determined in myocardial and thoracic aortic homogenates. Results. The administration of 1,25(OH)D 3 reduced biochemical disorders in myocardium and aorta in DIO: H 2 S content and cystathionine-γ-lyase activity increased, levels of inflammatory and apoptotic mediators (caspase-3, TNFα) decreased, HSP60 and HSP70 levels normalized, and signs of oxidative stress decreased. The cardioprotective effects of 1,25(OH)D 3 were significantly reduced by inhibition of H2 S synthesis, while the H 2 S donor (NaHS) enhanced these effects. Conclusions. In obesity, modulation of H 2 S / cystathionine-γ-lyase activity affects the cardioprotective effects of vitamin D, which are realized through the signaling pathways of inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress

BIOECOLOGIA, DANOS E CONTROLE DE LESMAS E CARACÓIS NA AGRICULTURA BRASILEIRA: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Moreira Suelen Cristina da Silva , Ávila Crébio José
Published: February 2024

Caramujos e lesmas pertencem ao Filo Molusca, Classe Grastropoda e da Ordem Pulmonata. Essas pragas têm causado danos em diversos cultivos de importância econômica no Brasil. Todavia, até pouco tempo atrás não existia produto registrado no Ministério de Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) para o controle dessas pragas. O único produto, até então, que apresentava controle satisfatório destes moluscos nos cultivos é a isca a base do ingrediente ativo metaldeído. Todavia, este moluscicida não tem registro para uso agrícola, mas somente domissanitário bem como apresenta riscos de contaminação de animais domésticos e silvestres. Os produtores no desespero de ver suas lavouras sendo destruída por essas pragas compram o ingrediente ativo metaldeído e aplicam em suas lavouras. Diante disso, órgãos de inspeção estadual realizam inspeções nas fazendas e aplicam multas aos produtores e técnicos que recomendaram tais produtos. Nesta revisão, são abordados aspectos bioecológicos, danos e principalmente manejo dessas pragas nos cultivos agrícolas esclarecendo aos produtores, especialmente de soja, de que existem produtos efetivos para o controle destes moluscos, os quais tem registro no MAPA. Com isso, acredita-se que é possível fazer um manejo seguro e legal dessas pragas nas lavouras, sem a ocorrência de contaminação da fauna e do meio ambiente.

Ainda que mulheres representem a maior parcela entre os egressos dos cursos de graduação no Brasil nos últimos anos, e abram novos caminhos em áreas tradicionalmente marcadas pela presença masculina, como as engenharias, continua baixa a representatividade feminina nestas profissões. Considerando este cenário, mediante uma abordagem qualitativa, este artigo apresenta a descrição e análise de um projeto de extensão desenvolvido em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, ocorrendo em três momentos distintos: antes da pandemia, durante a pandemia e após retorno presencial das atividades no setor de ensino. Com o objetivo de estimular as meninas a escolherem as diversas engenharias como profissão promissora e de reduzir a evasão nesses cursos, foram realizadas atividades dirigidas nas escolas como palestras informativas e motivacionais, dinâmicas e capacitações, como também preparação e divulgação de materiais e vídeos explicativos pertinentes ao tema e publicados em redes sociais. Nos três períodos de desenvolvimento, o projeto foi bem aceito, tanto nas escolas participantes como também na atuação e engajamento das estudantes universitárias. Em um processo contínuo, almeja-se despertar o interesse de outras mulheres e, neste contexto, estimular a seguir na carreira de engenharias, engrandecendo assim o papel da mulher na sociedade e no desenvolvimento do Brasil.

Apesar da relação entre educação e desenvolvimento socioeconômico não ser linear, existem múltiplas evidências que sugerem que a educação é um dos seus principais pilares. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a relação entre o número de estabelecimentos públicos e privados de ensino fundamental da Bahia com aspectos de proficiência dos alunos e o índice de desenvolvimento humano (IDH) dos municípios do estado. Para isto, foi realizada uma pesquisa sobre a participação das escolas que ofertam ensino fundamental na rede do estado baiano e sua relação com o desenvolvimento humano através do índice de desenvolvimento humano municipal (IDHM). Além disso, analisou-se, comparativamente, a performance das escolas públicas e privadas nas notas obtidas no Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM). Verificou-se considerável grau de correlação da presença do setor privado nas localidades com IDHM mais elevado, contrastando com a presença mínima ou ausência deste setor nos municípios menos desenvolvidos. Evidenciou-se alta disparidade entre as performances das escolas privadas e públicas, com escores significativamente superiores das primeiras, especialmente nos municípios de maior IDHM. A conclusão deste estudo apresenta uma reflexão sobre as consequências para o crescimento socioeconômico expostas aos municípios que perfilam resultados insatisfatórios no quadro do desenvolvimento humano. Uma vez que a educação de qualidade assume um papel fundamental no processo de desenvolvimento de uma região, os números demonstram que o ensino particular, apesar de minoria em números de estabelecimentos e matrículas no estado, detém melhores rendimentos de proficiência e estão concentrados nos municípios com melhores condições sociais de renda, saúde e educação.
Training of African Independent Churches Students at the Umphumulo Lutheran Theological College
Authors: Mashabela Kenokeno
Published: February 2024

The African Independent Churches Association (AICA) holds a unique place in the contribution of South African theological education. The AICA established the AICA Theological College; however, later on it initiated a theological negotiation with the Umphumulo Lutheran Theological College (ULTC) to train its students. The African Independent Churches (AICs) are seriously concerned with theologically training their church leaders. The vision and mission of the AICs are to sustain and grow the quality of their doctrine. This is to ensure that the significant connection between theological training and their own churches’ life experiences are encouraged. The role of theological training has much potential to train theological students of pastoral leadership. Thus, theological training and the church have always taken a rightful place to serve communities. This article explores why the AICs are training their theological students at the ULTC. The article focuses on four areas. Firstly, it discusses an early partnership between the ULTC and the AICs. Secondly, it offers some reasons why the AICs initiated the process of training their theological students at the South African theological institutions of the mainline churches. Thirdly, it discusses the establishment of the AICA Theological College and its success and challenges. Fourthly, it outlines the theological curriculum challenges offered to AICs theological students and the Lutheran support initiatives to the AICs.
Psychosocial Experiences of LGBTQIA+ Youth Experiencing Homelessness in Cape Town, South Africa
Authors: Gattis Maurice , Henderson Neil , Kemmerer Aaron , Fourie Johan
Published: February 2024

Social science literature demonstrates consistent trends of socioeconomic disadvantage and complex psychosocial problems for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, plus (LGBTQIA+) people globally. This is particularly salient in the area of homelessness among LGBTQIA+ youth in the literature from the Global North. This study sought to document and analyse the psychosocial experiences of LGBTQIA+ youth (aged 18 to 34) in Cape Town, South Africa. Through a mixed methods approach, using the theoretical frameworks of intersectionality, minority stress theory, and minority strengths theory, researchers examined semi-structured interview and survey data from 12 residents at an emergency shelter service organisation for LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing homelessness in Cape Town. Findings indicate that residents in the shelter reported heightened levels of depression and experiences of discrimination. Several major themes emerged from interview transcript analysis, such as the role of culture, toxic masculinity, religion, substance use, and mental health concerns. Recommendations are that social workers continue to follow-up with residents once they have left the shelter to ensure that the interventions are successful and that programmes designed for the population should incorporate an understanding of these psychosocial aspects of LGBTQIA+ homelessness in South Africa.
Maturational hyperpigmentation: An update
Authors: Goyal Pratika , Chauhan Payal
Published: February 2024

Maturational hyperpigmentation is a form of acquired idiopathic facial melanosis, which is a relatively recently described entity, mainly seen in middle-aged individuals. Apart from its disturbing nature due to significant psychosocial impact and cosmetic concern, it is also believed to be associated with a metabolic syndrome similar to facial acanthosis nigricans. While both these disorders are close differentials of each other and could represent the same spectrum, there are significant differences between both. It is therefore important to raise awareness among dermatologists so as not to miss this relatively new, under-recognized, and frequently misdiagnosed entity.
Food in times of Covid-19 in the under-integrated neighbourhoods of Libreville : some possible solutions to the shortage of local agricultural products
Authors: NZE) Leticia Nathalie SELLO MADOUNGOU (épouse
Published: February 2024

Les différents confinements liés au Covid-19 au Gabon ont été une période propice pour évaluer le système d’approvisionnement des marchés de la capitale Libreville. La production locale étant relativement faible, la fermeture des frontières a exacerbé les difficultés d’alimentation, surtout pour la population économiquement faible habitant dans les quartiers sous-intégrés. Ce problème causé d’abord par la limitation des déplacements et par l’arrêt des activités informelles et « petits boulots » a ensuite été aggravé par la pénurie ou l’insuffisance des produits alimentaires et agricoles favorisant ainsi une hausse des prix. La fermeture des frontières qui a généré un faible approvisionnement des marchés montre la nécessité d’avoir une production locale soutenue. L’intérêt de cette analyse est de faire le point de la situation alimentaire des librevillois économiquement faibles durant le Covid-19, de dresser un état des lieux de l’agriculture urbaine et péri-urbaine à Libreville de manière à proposer quelques pistes de solutions face à l’approvisionnement insuffisant en produits locaux, dans le but de renforcer leur disponibilité et leur accessibilité via les circuits courts pour un système alimentaire durable. Cette étude s’est faite à partir des enquêtes semi-directes réalisées sur le terrain (2021), d’une étude de Edou Edou (IGAD, 2012) et d’une documentation orientée.
TERRITORIALIZATION AND LOGIC OF THE THERMO-MINERAL WATER SECTOR IN SPA AND CHAUDFONTAINE: RESOURCE AND MULTIPLE USES
Authors: PFUND Guillaume
Published: February 2024

Notre analyse porte sur le développement territorial de la filière Eau Minérale Naturelle en situation d’usage multiple (embouteillage et thermalisme). Seulement 2 sites sont concernés en Belgique, pour 15 sites en France. A partir de la notion d’économie de proximité, l’étude porte sur les liens entre les acteurs locaux, leurs stratégies, les modes de valorisation de la ressource et les trajectoires de développement qui en résultent. Cette analyse apporte un regard transversal sur la filière EMN, en transcendant les découpages sectoriels et en privilégiant l’entrée territoriale. Cette vision originale du dessous des cartes offre un nouvel éclairage distancié sur les interactions historiques publiques-privées qui restent au cœur de nos sociétés.
QUARRIES EXPLOITATION AND SPATIAL DYNAMICS: CASE OF AKANDA IN THE NORTH OF LIBREVILLE (GABON)
Authors: MILLA Dimitri ESSONO , DEMAZE Moïse TSAYEM , MBA Jean-Claude NDONG
Published: February 2024

L’étalement de la métropole de Libreville, consécutif au desserrement progressif de son noyau urbain majeur, s’est produit en direction des périphéries Nord, Est et Sud. La commune d’Akanda est la résultante de ce processus dans la partie Nord. La construction de son espace repose essentiellement sur les logiques économiques et commerciales. Ainsi, l’exploitation des carrières, pour l’extraction de la latérite et du sable, a contribué au fil des décennies à structurer son habitat. L’attractivité des zones de carrières fut si forte qu’elle entraîna une occupation et un usage compulsifs des sols. Aujourd’hui, avec plus de 34 000 habitants, répartis dans 2 arrondissements, la néo-commune urbaine accueille nombre d’équipements et de services de qualité comparable à ceux du centre-ville de Libreville. La présente réflexion met en évidence les liens entre le dynamisme du noyau villageois originel et le rayonnement de l’espace urbain actuel, en dépit de la rupture observée dans la chaîne de production des carrières en 2011, à la suite d’un décret du gouvernement. Une identification des anciens sites de carrières, à l’aide des orthophotos et d’images satellitaires Spot et Yandex de 2008, 2013, 2015 et 2020, a été effectuée pour évaluer, de manière multiscalaire, les dynamiques spatiales. Plusieurs constructions, sur l’intervalle de temps allant de 2008 à 2020, sont évaluées par rapport à la proximité aux sites de carrières, sur la base des zones tampon de 100 m, 200 m et 300 m. Le rendu cartographique montre que le rayonnement économique de la zone initiale a été un puissant facteur d’attractivité pour l’installation des populations à travers le bâti. Les nombreux édifices implantés grâce aux voies de communication aménagées préalablement par les exploitants de carrières témoignent de cet étalement urbain.
COMMERCIAL DYNAMIC and NEW CENTRALITY IN the algerian CITY, THE CASE OF JIJEL
Authors: HADEF Hayette
Published: February 2024

L’extension urbaine progressive et désordonnée au détriment de l’espace périphérique est certainement la plus significative des caractéristiques de la dynamique urbaine des villes algériennes. Autrefois spontanées et marginalisées, certaines extensions périphériques se sont imposées sur la ville pour constituer actuellement de véritables lieux d’une centralité émergente. À partir de notre cas d’étude, celui du camp Chevalier à Jijel, une ville algérienne de taille moyenne, cet article s’intéresse au rôle de l’expansion commerciale et les pratiques habitantes dans la redéfinition des lieux de centralité. La recherche a révélé que la dynamique urbaine associée à celle sociale ont donné naissance à une nouvelle réorganisation de la centralité qui n’est pas forcément issue d’une action urbaine programmée et planifiée, mais plutôt la conséquence d’une dynamique urbaine informelle induite par des pratiques citadines.
Assessment of the environmental impacts of tourist activities in a forest ecosystem (Morocco)
Authors: MACHOURI Nadia
Published: February 2024

La forêt de Benslimane est un patrimoine forestier national de grande importance, elle est l’unique subéraie de plaine la plus méridionale à l’échelle mondiale. En plus de sa diversité floristique, faunistique, paysagère et culturelle, sa situation géographique à proximité de grands centres urbains, font que cette forêt est très fréquentée par les touristes marocains et étrangers. Cependant, les activités touristiques actuelles, dans un milieu si fragile, entraînent des impacts environnementaux réels ou potentiels sur les ressources naturelles de cette forêt. Quels sont ces impacts et comment maîtriser les impacts négatifs et bonifier les impacts positifs pour conserver l’écosystème naturel et améliorer le niveau de vie de la population locale selon un mode de développement durable ? Afin de répondre à ces questions, on a adopté une méthodologie pluridisciplinaire, il s’agit des mesures sur le terrain, des enquêtes, des entretiens semi-structurés et une étude cartographique.
Urban development of the Bay of Algiers: the beginning of participatory governance in Algeria ?
Authors: SRIR Mohamed , MESSAOUDENE Maha
Published: February 2024

La bonne gouvernance est l’une des ambitions majeures affichées par le Plan stratégique de développement d’Alger (PSDA) à l’horizon 2035. Ainsi, une démarche participative est proposée pour accompagner la conduite des grands projets urbains. Or, cette démarche ne repose pas réellement sur un dispositif de concertation impliquant toutes les parties prenantes. Les acteurs locaux sont souvent confrontés à un processus décisionnel non partagé (top down) en contradiction avec les discours véhiculés. Il s’agit dans cet article de montrer, à travers la lecture du projet de réaménagement de la baie, les décalages entre la vision du plan et les pratiques en termes de démarche participative. L’étude met en lumière les principales limites dans le processus de communication et de coordination à deux niveaux d’analyse : (i) le rapport entre l’État et les services déconcentrés et représentants locaux, (ii) et le rapport entre les acteurs institutionnels et la société civile. L’étude s’appuie sur deux méthodes : l’analyse des documents d’urbanisme et les entretiens avec les acteurs concernés par le PSDA. L’analyse souligne, d’une part, l’évolution de la vision urbanistique et des dispositifs de pilotage ; et d’autre part, l’absence des conditions nécessaires pour une réelle mise en œuvre de la gouvernance participative locale. Cette dernière se heurte au manque de cohérence et de compétences conjugué à une confusion dans les prérogatives des différents intervenants publics. Face aux difficultés identifiées, des enjeux de gouvernance urbaine sont mis en avant afin de favoriser la réflexion sur les leviers d’action.
ASSESSING PEDESTRIAN VISUAL PREFERENCES TO IMPROVE GROUND FLOOR FACADE DESIGN IN BEJAIA, ALGERIA
Authors: BOUNIF Sonia , MADANI Said
Published: February 2024

L’une des priorités du design urbain aujourd’hui est de créer des environnements urbains esthétiques. Notre recherche traite de l’évaluation des préférences visuelles des piétons vis-à-vis des façades du rez-de-chaussée des rues, dans le contexte socio-culturel de la ville de Bejaia. À cet égard, l’approche perceptuelle, basée sur les préférences visuelles du public, a été validée comme méthode d’évaluation. Elle a révélé que les attributs physiques les plus attrayants pour les piétons sont : la transparence totale des façades, la haute perméabilité physique et la complexité élevée à modérée des façades. Aussi, la composante végétale est très attrayante, notamment les bacs à fleurs et les bancs végétalisés installés judicieusement sur le trottoir, permettant de percevoir les façades et les activités intérieures. Par conséquent, la conception des façades au rez-de-chaussée doit favoriser la connectivité entre l’espace public et les espaces intérieurs.
La composition du paysage pétrolier des villes portuaires d'Afrique du Nord, le cas de Skikda (Algérie)
Authors: GHENNAI Amira , MADANI Said
Published: February 2024

This article discusses the composition of the oil landscape, using Carola Hein's hybrid, multiple, transformative and uneven ways of multi-layering, and its impact on societies such as industry, administration, architecture, oil culture and citizens' response to the oil landscape. This approach is presented in a panel, which is projected on Skikda, the northeast stronghold of the Algerian oil industry in North Africa, as a case study. Citizen feedback as a component layer of the oil landscape are presented through the text mining method, which is a word cloud text visualization. This study deals with aspects of the oil landscape, their economic and cultural importance and their impact on the city and society of Skikda.
Impact of irreducible water saturation on simulated retention capacity of the Greenland ice sheet snowpack

Les eaux de fonte générées en surface de la calotte du Groenland peuvent s’infiltrer en profondeur au sein du manteau neigeux et y être retenues. Récemment, des épisodes de fonte ont pu être observés dans des zones élevées de la calotte où tout au long d’une année, aucune fonte n’apparaît généralement avec un manteau neigeux constitué de neige fraîche et poreuse à son sommet, nommé firn. Pour simuler le bilan de masse en surface (SMB) futur de la calotte, cette rétention doit être prise en compte. Le modèle climatique régional MAR a été utilisé pour la réalisation de simulations jusqu’en 2300 afin d’en attester la sensibilité au paramètre de contenu en eau dans le manteau neigeux. Les résultats montrent qu’en fonction de la valeur initiale donnée à ce paramètre, le ruissellement simulé en surface varie fortement, cela étant majoritairement dû à une rétroaction d’albédo. Néanmoins, à ces altitudes, même sur le long terme, la capacité de rétention du manteau neigeux limite l’apport de ces plus hautes zones vers les marges de la calotte.
Understanding retail centrality: modes of centrality
Authors: LEBRUN Nicolas
Published: February 2024

L’évaluation de la centralité marchande, entendue comme le potentiel marchand d’un lieu, va communément de pair avec le binôme centre-polarisation et avec le binôme accessibilité-attractivité. Pourtant, à trop réduire les logiques marchandes à ces éléments, nous sommes peut-être passé à côté de quelque chose. Ainsi, nos pratiques de consommation ont évolué notamment sur les vingt dernières années : nous sommes de plus en plus motiles et mobiles, et la consommation s’insère dans des chaînages de déplacements de plus en plus complexes. Mais en parallèle, lorsque nous consommons, le recours à la proximité ou à la livraison à domicile, n’ont jamais été autant sollicités. En conséquence l’offre marchande est de plus en plus polymorphe, le lieu de vente n’étant qu’un moyen parmi d’autres d’atteindre le client potentiel. La théorie développée ici par l’auteur est que le primat de la centralité marchande de polarisation est révolu. Il existerait autant de modes de centralité qu’il existe de formes spatiales de bases : le point, la ligne, l’aire, le réseau. Cet article propose d’aborder successivement les quatre modes de centralité ainsi constitués : la centralité de polarisation, la centralité de positionnement, la centralité d’ancrage, la centralité en distanciel. Il s’agit de voir en quoi chaque mode de centralité a ses propres logiques, interagit différemment avec la fonction marchande, correspond à des comportements de consommation différents, génère des formes et paysages marchands spécifiques.
