Résumé : Ce papier identifie et analyse les déterminants de la résilience des entreprises guinéennes face à la maladie à Corona Virus (COVID-19) en appliquant les modèles Probit/Logit, Poisson et Binomial négatif sur une version actualisée des données de l’enquête sur les entreprises, menée par la Banque mondiale entre le 16 et 27 juin 2020. Les résultats montrent que le fait pour une entreprise d’appartenir à un grand groupe permet de réduire le nombre de jours de fermeture et d’accroitre la résilience financière. Cependant, les entreprises évoluant dans le commerce de détails, la restauration et l’hôtellerie, et le transport ont été les moins résilientes, notamment en matière de fermeture temporaire de leurs installations. Aussi, les entreprises de transport et de construction ont été les plus résilientes en matière de paiement des impôts et taxes dus à l’Etat. Les firmes dirigées par des femmes ont moins eu recours à des licenciements que celles dirigées par des hommes.

Mots clés : Résilience – COVID-19 – Entreprises guinéennes – Fermeture temporaire – Licenciement – Impôts et taxes.

Resilience of Guinean enterprises face to Covid-19

Abstract: This paper identifies and analyzes the determinants of the resilience of Guinean businesses face to Corona Virus disease (COVID-19) by applying Probit/Logit, Poisson and Negative Binomial models on an updated version of business survey data, conducted by the World Bank between June 16 and 27, 2020. The results show that the fact that a company belongs to a large group reduces the number of closing days and increases financial resilience. However, companies operating in retail, restaurants and hotels, and transportation were the least resilient, particularly in terms of temporarily closing their facilities. Also, transport and construction companies have been the most resilient in terms of payment of taxes and duties due to the State. Firms headed by women resorted to layoffs less than those headed by men.

Keywords: Resilience – COVID-19 – Guinean companies – Temporary closure – Dismissal – Taxes and duties.

Mina folkhälsovetenskapliga synvändor
Authors: Köhler Lennart
Published: January 2025

Utvecklingen av kunskap och erfarenhet i yrkeslivet sker normalt långsamt och kontinuerligt över tid. Men vid enstaka tillfällen kommer ett oväntat budskap som får en att stanna upp och ifrågasätta det man tidigare lärt sig och tillämpat. Synen på yrket, yrkesrollen eller yrkesinnehållet ifrågasätts. Det kan vara möten med människor, en föreläsning, en artikel, en bok. Man kan kalla det en synvända, eftersom synen har vänts mot ett nytt håll och gett ett annat perspektiv, en förändrad syn på hur saker och ting hänger ihop, en ny syn på gamla sanningar. Här har jag valt ut tre episoder, som i mitt yrkesliv inom folkhälsovetenskapen var och en för sig just åstadkommit viktiga och bestående förändringar i min uppfattning av sambanden mellan hälsa, sjukdom, medicin och samhälle. De synvändor som jag skildrar drabbade mig för många år sedan, just dessa aha-upplevelser är osannolika idag. Men principen kvarstår för varje generation: upplevelser som framkallar sådana synvändor kan ge nya förklaringar eller ändrar synen på orsakssammanhang i yrkeslivet. De har i alla fall gett mig en ökad benägenhet att ifrågasätta gamla sanningar och min egen roll som läkare, lärare, forskare.
Hälso- och sjukvårdens utveckling i Sverige – vart är vi på väg?
Authors: Burström Bo
Published: January 2025

Hälso- och sjukvården i Sverige har under senare decennier genomgått ett systemskifte. I artikeln belyses behoven av hälso- och sjukvård i befolkningen och hur systemskiftet kunnat möta behoven. Marknadisering och privatisering av vården har pågått under lång tid, Vårdvalsreformen 2010 ökade etableringar av primärvård i redan välförsedda områden men inte där behoven var större och har snarast försvårat för äldre multisjuka patienter, men har banat väg för nätläkare. Vårdval inom specialistvård har haft negativa systemkonsekvenser. Privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar kan öka ojämlikhet i vård och kan underminera det offentligt finansierade välfärdssystemet. Primärvården behöver stärkas, samverkan med äldreomsorg fördjupas. Vinstintressen och konkurrens i vården bör avvecklas, samordning och samarbete förstärkas, etableringskontroll införas för behovsbaserad resursfördelning och lokalisering av vården.
Socialmedicinen och genetiken
Authors: Bygren Lars Olov
Published: January 2025

Det är dags att ta epigenetiken på allvar inom socialmedicinen. Socialmedicinen har en stor framtida utmaning, skillnaderna i sjukdomsincidens och sjukdomsföljder mellan kort-, medellång- och lång grundutbilning. Den kan mötas genom ett nytt verktyg, epigenetiken och dess teorier. Förståelsen av social etiologi till sjukdom och sjukdomarnas följder socialt kan förstås i grunden. Det kan avse dagens generation men också flera generationer bakåt och framåt. Resan började för 6 decennier sedan med tankarna om multifaktoriell etiologi. Den fortsatte med ett par teoretiska uppsatser om appliceringen på människa av modellförsöken på däggdjur. En station på vägen var en konkret epidemiologisk studie på människa som pekade mot epigenetiken. Ett nätverk bildades som angav läget för forskningsområdet. En första molekylär fördjupning publicerades som ”preprint”. Där kom en kittlande föraning om processerna bakom förvärvad ärftlighet.
Rättvis omställning

Trots att kunskapen om det planetära nödläget erkänts och manifesterats i länder med över en miljard människor sedan några år tillbaka – så har samtalet om vilken samhällstransformation som verkligen krävs i detta tillstånd knappt startat. Istället för diskussioner om förändrad lagstiftning, skiftad ekonomisk logik och ny sorts maktfördelning så domineras samtalet i Sverige av ekomoderna lösningar för att fortsätta grönmåla industrisamhället. I denna artikel skisserar jag konturerna till tre lösningar (Naturens rättigheter, Nerväxt och Ekologiska maskuliniteter) på allvar skulle transformera vårt industrimoderna samhälle för att kunna hantera det planetära nödläget.

Published: January 2025

Detta jubileumsnummer beskriver utvecklingen av socialmedicinen över 100 år och parallellt arbetet med folkhälsan i vårt land. Framgångar och motgångar har växlat över tid. Men, den samlade bilden är att vi, sedan länge, har kunskapen om hälsans fördelning i samhället, om ojämlikhetens orsaker och hur skillnader kan minskas. Detta har dokumenterats, gång efter gång, av internationella, nationella och regionala kommissioner, i folkhälsorapporter och i folkhälsomål (1-6). Dessa beskriver, i allt väsentligt, samma kunskapsbas varje gång och i grunden samma förslag till lösningar. Skillnaden är att de successivt har kunnat visa mera evidens för sina förslag.

Nutrient Use Efficiency and Grain Quality of Malt Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Varieties in Response to Nitrogen Fertilizer in Southeastern Ethiopia
Authors: Shimelis Fasil , Kefale Demelash
Published: January 2025

The expansion of brewing industries in Ethiopia has been inducing a growing demand for the supply of malt with optimum kernel protein content. However, the supply has been constrained by the unavailability of sufficient volumes of acceptable quality of malting barley grain to meet the ever-increasing demand. In this regard, field experiments were conducted in the southeastern Ethiopian highlands to evaluate the combined effects of six fertilizer levels (0, 11.5, 23, 34.5, 46, and 57.5) N kg ha-1 and three malt barley varieties (Fanaka, Ibon and Holker ) on the yield, quality and nutrient use efficiency of malting barley. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Application of 11.5, 23, 34.5, 46 and 57.5 N kg ha-1 increased the grain yields by 1010.3, 1065.9, 1288.1, 1421.3, and 1777.6 kg ha-1 and economic benefits by 31 %, 30.4 %, 32.9%, 33.16% and 33.38% respectively, for each increment of on N fertilizer, when compared to the control treatment. The production of malting barley with improved yield, optimum kernel protein concentrations and enhanced economic benefit was attained through 57.5 and 46 N kg ha-1 as first and second option respectively in the study area. Thus, to improve the likelihood of acceptance of malting barley by malting industries, growers are recommended to select low-protein containing varieties and decide application of N fertilization based on soil test results.

Authors: Aubakirova Kunduzay , Kırca Meirim Issakhanova , Baimakhanova Sholpan
Published: January 2025

This article examines the monument "Irshadul-Muluk was-Salatin," written in medieval classical Arabic and translated into Kipchak during the Mamluk period, from a theological and linguistic perspective. The primary goal of the research is to conduct a linguistic and theological analysis of the original manuscript of "Irshadul-Muluk." To achieve this goal, the following tasks are set: to provide a brief description of the manuscript "Irshadul-Muluk"; to conduct a theological and linguistic analysis of the linguistic materials preserved in the monument; to carry out a linguistic and hermeneutic analysis within the framework of religious concepts in the manuscript "Irshad al-Muluk"; and to determine the features of the use of the theonym Tengri. To achieve these tasks, the methods of source studies, paleography, codicology, hermeneutics, and theological linguistics were prioritized. The main novelty of the work is that the manuscript "Irshadul-Muluk" is being studied from a theological and linguistic perspective for the first time, with a comprehensive analysis of the religious concepts within the theo-anthropo-cosmic paradigm. Based on the results of the research, a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic materials, including religious linguistic units, written in Arabic and Mamluk-Kipchak in the religious context of the monument, can solve many issues in historical theological linguistics. Thus, medieval religious manuscripts are invaluable theological and linguistic sources for studying the culture, customs, religion, and beliefs of modern Turkic peoples.

Authors: James Watt  , Zahidullah  , Ali Raza Sandhu  , Misbah Zakir Abowath  , Aisha Alamgir
Published: January 2025

Background: Diabetes patients are more susceptible to cardiovascular disease (CVD), hence lowering the risk factors linked with CVD requires effective treatment techniques. Objective: To evaluate the individual and combined effects of Amlodipine and Metformin on cardiovascular risks in diabetic patients. Methodology: A prospective randomized, double-blind cohort study was conducted at three hospitals in Pakistan, enrolling 1,386 adults with type 2 diabetes over two years. Three groups of participants were randomly assigned to receive either amlodipine, metformin, or both. The dosages were modified in accordance with the clinical response, and blood pressure, glycemic control, and cardiovascular risk indicators were observed at regular intervals of 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data. The three groups were compared for differences in cardiovascular risk using comparative analyses (t-tests). A significant threshold of p < 0.05 was established. Results: When it came to cardiovascular risk indicators, the Combination group outperformed the Amlodipine and Metformin groups by a substantial margin at 24 months. With statistically significant p-values (p=0.004, p=0.015), the decreases in systolic blood pressure (130.03 mmHg) were more marked than those in the Amlodipine (132.63 mmHg) and Metformin (132.13 mmHg) groups. Additionally, the Combination group had the lowest Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values, 5.81 ± 0.51; this suggests better glycemic management. Moreover, significant enhancements in lipid profiles and decreases in fasting blood glucose levels were seen. Conclusion: The combination of Amlodipine and Metformin provides superior cardiovascular protection in diabetic patients, highlighting the importance of dual therapy in managing cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes.

Gladiolus is an important commercial cut flower valued for its vibrant colors and spikes with extended vase life. However, the growth and corm production of different cultivars are highly affected by environmental factors. In areas like Peshawar-Pakistan, limited research exists to guide the selection of suitable gladiolus cultivars that can thrive under these conditions. Inadequate knowledge about the adaptability and performance of available cultivars often results in weak growth, late flowering, and low production of corms, making it a challenge for commercial production. In this regard, an experiment was designed on the Performance of gladiolus cultivars on morphological traits and corm production under the agro-climatic condition of Peshawar was conducted at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, The University of Agriculture Peshawar. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.

Nanotechnology, among the most technological advances in the field of agriculture, holds a prominent role in reshaping agriculture and food production to meet demand efficiently and cost-effectively. The use of nanotechnology in crop protection has increased resulting in high agricultural yield by the application of nanoparticles in agriculture. The main goal of nanotechnology in agriculture is to reduce the use of spread chemicals, minimize nutrient loss during fertilization, and increase crop yield through nutrient and pest management. In this research, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPS) were prepared by using the green extract of ginger and garlic under room conditions. The prepared MgONPS were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultra-violet visible spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The UV.vis absorption showed a maximum absorption peak at 280nm, which is in the range of 260 to 280 specific for MgONPS. The XRD pattern showed the characteristic peaks and an average particle size of 20.6nm, FTIR spectrum was found in the range of 600 to 3500cm-1 determined the presence of different bonds present on the nanoparticles. These bonds absorb I.R radiation and the transition occurs from a ground vibrational state to an excited vibrational state. This research determined the assessment of synthesized MgONPS in chilli varieties. The synthesized nanoparticles were applied to chilli plants in three concentrations. The effect of each concentration was measured compared to control. The foliar applications of the prepared MgONPS were shown to increase the plant's height, shoot length, number of leaves, number of flowers, and number of fruits compared to control.

Este estudio examina las narrativas de solidaridad generadas tras el Estallido Social del 19 de octubre de 2019 en Chile. Se realizaron entrevistas a dieciséis personas que prestaron ayuda solidaria tras el inicio de las movilizaciones. Además, se revisaron archivos escritos, orales y fotográficos. A través del análisis de contenido, fue posible distinguir diversas expresiones, asociadas no sólo con el momento represivo en que surgen, sino con las urgencias humanas posteriores. En estas acciones, la solidaridad fue central, como principio ético y eje frente a las vulneraciones sociales desde octubre de 2019 y en el inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19. Se reconocen dos dimensiones en las narrativas de solidaridad. Por una parte, tres nociones significativas: “justicia”, “sentido ético del ejercicio profesional” y “memoria y derechos humanos”. Por otro lado, tres narrativas que proyectan el sentido de la solidaridad a partir de su expresión performática, semántica y organizacional. Finalmente, se concluye la presencia transversal en las narrativas de un tercer actor, un testigo comprometido durante las protestas en las calles, desde ollas comunes hasta la solidaridad de personas anónimas, colegios profesionales, universidades, centros de estudiantes, profesionales, intelectuales y artistas.
Combining radio-telemetry and radar measurements to test optimal foraging in an aerial insectivore bird

Optimal foraging theory posits that foragers adjust their movements based on prey abundance to optimize food intake. While extensively studied in terrestrial and marine environments, aerial foraging has remained relatively unexplored due to technological limitations. This study, uniquely combining BirdScan-MR1 radar and the ATLAS biotelemetry system, investigates the foraging dynamics of Little Swifts (
Apus affinis
) in response to insect movements over Israel’s Hula Valley. Insect Movement Traffic Rate (MoTR) substantially varied across days, strongly influencing swift movement. On days with high MoTR, swifts exhibited reduced flight distance, increased colony visit rate, and earlier arrivals at the breeding colony, reflecting a dynamic response to prey availability. However, no significant effects were observed in total foraging duration, flight speed, or daily route length. Notably, as insect abundance increased, inter-individual distances decreased. These findings suggest that Little Swifts optimize their foraging behavior in relation to aerial insect abundance, likely influencing reproductive success and population dynamics. The integration of radar technology and biotelemetry systems provides a unique perspective on the interactions between aerial insectivores and their prey, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of optimal foraging strategies in diverse environments.

UTRs contain crucial regulatory elements for RNA stability, translation and localization, so their integrity is indispensable for gene expression. Approximately 3.7% of genetic variants associated with diseases occur in UTRs, yet a comprehensive understanding of UTR variant functions remains limited due to inefficient experimental and computational assessment methods. To systematically evaluate the effects of UTR variants on RNA stability, we established a massively parallel reporter assay on 6,555 UTR variants reported in human disease databases. We examined the RNA degradation patterns mediated by the UTR library in two cell lines, and then applied LASSO regression to model the influential regulators of RNA stability. We found that UA dinucleotides and UA-rich motifs are the most prominent destabilizing element. Gain of UA dinucleotide outlined mutant UTRs with reduced stability. Studies on endogenous transcripts indicate that high UA-dinucleotide ratios in UTRs promote RNA degradation. Conversely, elevated GC content and protein binding on UA dinucleotides protect high-UA RNA from degradation. Further analysis reveals polarized roles of UA- dinucleotide-binding proteins in RNA protection and degradation. Furthermore, the UA- dinucleotide ratio of both UTRs is a common characteristic of genes in innate immune response pathways, implying a coordinated stability regulation through UTRs at the transcriptomic level. We also demonstrate that stability-altering UTRs are associated with changes in biobank-based health indices, underscoring the importance of precise UTR regulation for wellness. Our study highlights the importance of RNA stability regulation through UTR primary sequences, paving the way for further exploration of their implications in gene networks and precision medicine.

Electrophysiology has proven invaluable to record neural activity, and the development of Neuropixels probes dramatically increased the number of recorded neurons. These probes are often implanted acutely, but acute recordings cannot be performed in freely moving animals and the recorded neurons cannot be tracked across days. To study key behaviors such as navigation, learning, and memory formation, the probes must be implanted chronically. An ideal chronic implant should (1) allow stable recordings of neurons for weeks; (2) allow reuse of the probes after explantation; (3) be light enough for use in mice. Here, we present the “Apollo Implant”, an open-source and editable device that meets these criteria and accommodates up to two Neuropixels 1.0 or 2.0 probes. The implant comprises a “payload” module which is attached to the probe and is recoverable, and a “docking” module which is cemented to the skull. The design is adjustable, making it easy to change the distance between probes, the angle of insertion, and the depth of insertion. We tested the implant across eight labs in head-fixed mice, freely moving mice, and freely moving rats. The number of neurons recorded across days was stable, even after repeated implantations of the same probe. The Apollo implant provides an inexpensive, lightweight, and flexible solution for reusable chronic Neuropixels recordings.
Geographic recommender systems in e-commerce based on population
Authors: Shili Mohamed , Sohaib Osama
Published: January 2025

Technological advancements have significantly enhanced e-commerce, helping customers find the best products. One key development is recommendation systems, which personalize the shopping experience and boost sales. This paper explores a novel geographic recommendation system that uses demographic data, such as population density, age, and income, to refine recommendations. By integrating geographic and demographic information, like the population size of a country, businesses can tailor their offerings to regional preferences. This targeted approach aims to make recommendations more relevant by considering the behaviors and needs of different geographic areas. We sourced population data from The National Institute of Statistics (Tunisia, INS). This approach improves the importance of product recommendations for particular locations by customizing them based on demographic and geographic measures. The technique creates a better context-aware recommendation system that boosts customer happiness and business proceeds by fusing consumer behavior with extensive demographic data. The method also includes a mathematical model that considers population intensity to refine further recommendations established on the regional model.
