Stosunki polsko-ukraińskie w powieści Stulecie Jakuba Wołodymyra Łysa
Authors: Nowacki Albert
Published: October 2020

Wołodymyr Łys to jeden z najpoczytniejszych i najbardziej rozpoznawalnych współczesnych pisarzy ukraińskich, który w zasadzie już od dawna ugruntował swoją pozycję na arenie literackiej. Napisał wiele powieści, prawdziwą jednak popularność przyniósł mu utwór Stulecie Jakuba, który doczekał się kilku wznowień, a nawet ekranizacji telewizyjnej. Autor porusza w nim wiele ważkich tematów, jak chociażby kwestie tożsamości narodowej, skomplikowanej historii ukraińskiej, pamięci itd., celem niniejszego artykułu jest jednak spojrzenie na wspomniane dzieło przez pryzmat stosunków i wątków polsko-ukraińskich.

Na kartach analizowanej powieści przewija się sto lat historii Ukrainy, w którą uwikłany jest także jej bohater – Jakiw Mech. Historię swego życia opowiada z perspektywy przeżytych niemal stu lat, na których przestrzeni był obywatelem Rosji, Polski, Niemiec, Związku Sowieckiego i wreszcie wolnej Ukrainy. Akcja powieści rozgrywa się na terenie należącego przed wojną do II Rzeczypospolitej Polesia, gdzie bohater ma wiele okazji do wchodzenia w interakcje w Polakami. Na początku są to doświadczenia niezbyt pozytywne (spotkanie ze zubożałym szlachcicem-„panem”), kiedy jednak Jakub trafia do wojska polskiego, udaje mu się nawiązać bardzo dobre relacje z polskimi dowódcami, a nawet ożenić się z polską szlachcianką.

Niezwykle poruszającym momentem analizowanego utworu jest próba odniesienia się do tragicznych wydarzeń wołyńskich z 1943 r. Autor pisze o tych wydarzeniach z wielkim wyczuciem, nie wdając się w dywagacje o szukaniu winnych. Stwierdza, że każda śmierć jest wielką tragedią, a oba narody wiele podówczas wycierpiały.

Wbrew licznym, nierzadko krzywdzącym stereotypom, a także różnym ocenom minionych wydarzeń, dokonywanym przez historyków oraz polityków z Polski i Ukrainy, Łys zauważa, że nie wszystko w relacjach między tymi Polakami i Ukraińcami było złe, że jedni i drudzy potrafili żyć obok siebie, tworząc wspólną historię. I choć w kontaktach polsko-ukraińskich czasem pojawiała się nierówność, zazdrość, protekcjonalizm, a czasem nawet pewna doza pogardy, to – jak przekonuje ukraiński pisarz – więcej te dwa narody łączy, niż dzieli.
Sustainable Clinical Academic Training Pathways: A framework for implementation in Oman
Authors: Al-Busaidi Ibrahim S. , Al-Mandhari Rashid A.
Published: October 2020

Clinical academics—medical doctors with additional training in basic science or clinical research—play a pivotal role in translating biomedical research into practical bedside applications. However, international studies suggest that the proportion of clinical academics relative to the medical workforce is dwindling worldwide. Although efforts to reverse this trend are ongoing in many countries, there is little perceptible dialogue concerning these issues in Oman. This article explores the current status of clinical academic training pathways worldwide, concluding with a framework for the implementation of a dual-degree medical-research training programme in Oman in order to stimulate and develop a sustainable national clinical academic workforce.Keywords: Training Programs; Undergraduate Medical Education; Graduate Medical Education; Internship and Residency; Medical Students; Research; Oman.

Authors: Al-Azri Mohammed H. , Al-Saidi Maytha , Al-Mutairi Eman , Panchatcharam Sathiya M.
Published: October 2020

Objectives: This study aimed to assess knowledge and attitudes among Omani woman regarding cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms as well as barriers to them seeking medical help. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2017 and March 2018 at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Muscat, Oman. A validated Arabic-language version of the Cervical Cancer Awareness Measure questionnaire was used to collect data from 550 Omani women visiting SQUH during the study period. Results: A total of 490 women participated (response rate: 89.1%) in this study. Overall, the women demonstrated low levels of knowledge of cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms (28.5% and 45.0%, respectively). The most frequently recognised risk factor was having many children (36.1%), while the most recognised symptom was unexplained vaginal bleeding (69.8%). Women reported that being too scared was the greatest barrier to seeking medical help (68.0%). Various factors were significantly associated with greater knowledge of cervical cancer signs and symptoms including education level (odds ratio [OR] = 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0–8.22; P <0.05), income (OR = 4.34; 95% CI: 1.70–11.12; P <0.05), parity (OR = 3.59; 95% CI: 1.38–9.36; P <0.05) and a family history of cancer (OR = 1.71; CI: 1.0–2.90; P <0.05). Conclusion: Overall, Omani women demonstrated poor knowledge with regards to cervical cancer; in addition, they identified several emotional barriers to seeking medical help. Healthcare practitioners should reassure female patients to encourage care-seeking behaviour. A national screening programme is also recommended to increase awareness and early diagnosis of cervical cancer in Oman.Keywords: Cervical Cancer; Knowledge; Awareness; Risk Factors; Health Care Seeking Behavior; Women; Oman.

Authors: Al-Yassen Asaad Q. , Al-Maliki Shukrya K. , Al-Asadi Jasim N.
Published: October 2020

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine with topical salicylic acid (SA) in the treatment of viral warts. Methods: This non-randomised controlled trial was conducted at the Al-Sader Teaching Hospital, Basrah, Iraq, from January 2016 to April 2017. A total of 201 patients with viral warts were injected with an intradermal purified protein derivative. Subsequently, those with negative tuberculin test results received an intradermal BCG vaccination, while those with positive results underwent conventional treatment with topical SA. Patients were assessed for any signs of improvement at one, two and three months. Results: Overall, 190 patients completed the trial; of these, 133 (70%) received the BCG vaccine and 57 (30%) were treated with topical SA. Complete response to treatment was observed in 9.8% and 5.3% of patients in the BCG and SA groups, respectively (P <0.001). Cure rates were significantly higher for patients with genital (22.2% versus 7.7%; P = 0.002) and common warts (8.5% versus 0%; P = 0.001) treated with the BCG vaccine; however, the reverse was true for flat warts (12.9% versus 25%; P = 0.041). A binary logistic regression analysis indicated that BCG therapy was the only significant independent predictor of positive treatment response (odds ratio: 7.56, 95% confidence interval: 3.72–15.36; P <0.001). Conclusion: The BCG vaccine was more effective than topical SA for treating viral warts, with the best response noted in the treatment of genital warts, followed by flat warts. However, plantar warts demonstrated least response to this treatment.Keywords: Human Papilloma Viruses; Warts; Immunotherapy; BCG Vaccine; Salicylic Acid; Clinical Trial; Treatment Effectiveness.

Published: October 2020

Objectives: The number of family physicians in Oman is far below that recommended by the World Health Organization. This study aimed to determine factors influencing junior doctors’ choice of a career in family medicine. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and June 2018 and targeted applicants to Oman Medical Specialty Board residency programmes during the 2018–2019 academic year. Applicants were grouped according to their choice of either family medicine (n = 64) or other specialities (n = 81). A self-administered questionnaire was utilised to compare the applicants’ sociodemographic characteristics, factors influencing their choice of career and their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) personality traits. Results: A total of 52 family medicine and 43 other residency applicants participated in the study (response rates: 81.3% and 53.1%, respectively). Most family medicine applicants were female (86.5%), married (65.4%) and resided in rural areas (73.1%); moreover, 19.2% were ≥30 years of age. Overall, emphasis on continuity of care, opportunity to deal with a variety of medical problems, the ability to use a wide range of skills and knowledge, early exposure to the discipline, opportunity to teach and perform research and the influence of family or friends were important factors in determining choice of a career in family medicine. Moreover, the MBTI analysis revealed that family medicine applicants were commonly extroverted-sensing-thinking-judging personality types. Conclusion: Knowledge of the factors influencing career choice among junior doctors may be useful in determining future admission policies in order to increase the number of family physicians in Oman.Keywords: Career Choice; Internship and Residency; Medical Specialty; Family Practice; Family Physicians; Myers-Briggs Type Indicator; Oman.

Published: October 2020

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on degree of weight loss, as well as the prevalence of nutritional deficiencies, postoperative complications and adherence to dietary and lifestyle recommendations in a cohort of patients from Bahrain. Methods: This retrospective cohort study took place between March and September 2018 at two hospitals in Bahrain. All adult patients who had undergone bariatric surgery between 2012–2017 were included. Sociodemographic and clinical information was collected from the patients’ medical records and during phone interviews. Results: A total of 341 patients participated in the study. The mean age was 39.82 ± 9.95 years and 67.7% were female. There was a significant relationship between postoperative body mass index and both the type of surgery and time since surgery (P = 0.025 and 0.008, respectively). While type of surgery had no significant effect on percent of excess weight loss (EWL) or percent of total weight loss (TWL), time since surgery significantly affected both of these weight loss measures (P = 0.006 and 0.001, respectively). Biochemical tests revealed haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, ferritin and iron deficiencies. Commonly reported complications included hair loss (59.5%), flatulence/abdominal pain (39.3%), dry skin (34.3%) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (33.1%). The level of adherence to dietary and lifestyle recommendations was high to moderate. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery was effective in accelerating EWL and TWL; however, it also resulted in complications such as nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal side-effects.Keywords: Bariatric Surgery; Obesity Management; Weight Loss; Gastric Bypass; Biliopancreatic Diversion; Avitaminosis; Iron-Deficiency Anemia; Bahrain.

Published: October 2020

Background: Scoparia dulcis Linn. is reported to be used by women of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India for treating menstrual disorders. Scoparia dulcis contains compounds that bind with estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) evidenced by increased PCNA in endometrial epithelium.
Methods: Crude extract was orally administered at the dose of 500 mg/kg body weight/day to the female mice (60–70 days old) in five different groups. Each group containing six females included: (I) cyclic control, (II) cyclic extract treated, (III) Ovariectomized (OVX)-vehicle treated (Control), (IV) OVX-E2 treated (V) OVX- extract treated. Extract was administered for eight days to the cyclic groups and three days to the OVX groups. PCNA was detected immunohistochemically in uterine tiss ues and signals were analyzed by Image J software (NIH, USA). Compounds were separated by GC-MS and identified using NIST. In silico molecular docking studies was performed with human estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the best interacting compound was done using gromacs.
Results: The results showed cell proliferation in the uterine endometrium evidenced by PCNA. Two phytocompounds, Octadecanoic acid and methyl stearate showed binding affinity with ERα and ERβ.
Conclusion: Scoparia dulcis contains compounds having binding affinity with ERα and ERβ. The present study is the first report on compounds from Scoparia dulcis showing binding affinity with human estrogen receptors which may have biological effect on female reproduction.

Authors: Lookzadeh MohamadHosein , Abeshoori ElahaJafari , Noorishadkam Mahmood , Mirjalili Seyed Reza , Mohammadi Hamid Reza , Emambakhshsani Fatemeh
Published: October 2020

Background: Apnea of prematurity is often found in preterm neonates with gestational age less than 34-37 weeks or birth weight (BW) less than 1000 grams. The American Academy of Pediatrics defines apnea as a respiratory halt lasting at least 20 seconds, with bradycardia or cyanosis. Methylxanthines reduce the incidence of apnea. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of caffeine and aminophylline on the incidence of apnea in premature neonates.   
Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 80 premature neonates at ShahidSadoughihospital in Yazd. The first group received the initial dose of 5 mg /kg aminophylline diluted in 5% dextrose with a maintenance dose of 2 mg /kg every 8 hours, while the second group received 30mg/kg of caffeine diluted in 5% dextrose with a 24-hour maintenance dose of 10 mg/kg.                                                                                   
Results: The frequency of apnea was less in caffeine group but it was not significantly different between intervention groups (Pvalue=0.121). Although there was a significant difference in respiratory status between the two groups; so in caffeine group, oxyhood was less necessary for neonates (Pvalue=0.012). Using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was significantly less in aminophylline group (Pvalue=0.012).                                    
Conclusion: The frequency of apnea was less in the caffeine group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.121). Aminophylline treatment in comparison with caffeine can reduce the need for CPAP in neonates with apnea.

Authors: Oluwadamilare Ikusemiju Ayokunle , Ekwueme Anthony
Published: October 2020

Objectives of the Study: The purpose of this study was to examine newspaper framing of the activities of the EFCC under President Buhari, using four purposively selected newspapers. In doing this, the researchers focused on the prevalence of frames, most prominent frames, and interpretations they gave to the activities of EFCC.

Methodology: Content analysis and critical discourse analysis were adopted as the research methods. By means of the constructed week sampling technique, 288 editions of the selected newspapers years were studied.

Results: It was found that six (6) frames constituted 75% frame prevalence rate, while two (2) frames constituted 15% non-prevalence rate. The corruption-combating/criminalisation frame was the most prominent. Interpretation of the reports revealed that some newspapers presented EFCC as victimisers, while some appraised its activities at mitigating graft in Nigeria.

Application/implications: The implication of these results is that journalists need to improve in their framing anti-corruption efforts as part of their social responsibility to the Nigerian society.

Originality/ Novelty: This study has contributed to our understanding of the role of the media in promoting good governance and accountability in a developing country like Nigeria.

Published: October 2020

A globalizáció eredményeként megfogalmazható, hogy a térbeli fejlesztések elsősorban a helyi erőforrásokra támaszkodnak. Az endogén forrásokra alapozott fejlesztések sérülékenysége a lokális erőforrásoktól való függőségből fakadóan kimutatható a vidékfejlesztésben. Fokozottan kiemelendő a helyi erőforrások, tevékenységek és integrált szereplők fontossága, ezen tényezők megközelítése az endogén fejlődésben. Mindezek alapján kijelenthető, hogy a lakosságnak rendkívüli szerepe van a fejlesztés megtervezésében és végrehajtásában, így ezen tényező valóban nélkülözhetetlenek. A helyi fejlesztésekhez (LED) vidékgazdaságban számos helyen a nonprofit szektor kínál lehetőséget az önkormányzatok, a magánszféra valamint a helyi közösségek számára, így együtt végezve a fejlesztő munkát a helyi gazdaság bővülése sikeres irányt vehet.
Quantitative methods for quantification of montmorillonite content
in bentonite clays
Authors: Belousov Petr E. , Pokidko Boris V. , Zakusin Sergey V. , Krupskaya Victoria V.
Published: October 2020

This article is devoted to the comparison of various methods for the quantitative determination of montmorillonite content in bentonite clays based on the adsorption of organic molecules and cations. The studies were conducted on samples of natural bentonite clays of the main Russian industrial deposits and the CIS: 10th Khutor (Republic of Khakassia), Zyryanskoe (Kurgan region), Dash-Salakhlinskoe (Republic of Azerbaijan), Dinozavrovoe (Republic of Kazakhstan). All samples selected for the study are characterized by a high content of montmorillonite (more than 70 %). As reference values ​​for the contents of montmorillonite, we used the data of X-ray diffraction analysis according to the Rietveld method. As the tested methods, the most common approaches were used both in the research and industrial sectors of Russia, based on the adsorption of a mixture of rhodamine 6zh and chrysoidine dyes (GOST 28177-89), adsorption of methylene blue dye and adsorption of copper (II) complex with triethylenetetramine (Cu-trien), as well as thermal characteristics after saturation with organic compounds.
The best convergence of the montmorillonite content values ​​was shown by modified techniques based on the adsorption of methylene blue dye and the adsorption of the Cu-trien complex. Other methods are characterized by a large measurement error. A common problem with these methods is overs equivalent adsorption on highly charged alkaline bentonites and reduced adsorption on alkaline earth bentonites, as well as the presence of impurity minerals and amorphous phases capable of sorption in the composition of bentonite. The research results can be used to compare the results of the content of montmorillonite, cited by various authors in scientific publications and used in production.

Authors: Kartashova M. , Artamonov A. , Plotnikov E.
Published: October 2020

Relevance: Hypomagnetic conditions have undesirable effects concerning various fields of science and technology. In biology, they cause adverse circumstances, which affect the functioning of living organisms. However, humans experience hypomagnetic fields (HMF) during space exploration, through some branches of production, military objects, and community transport. On the other hand, various high-precision technologies must have or operate under a hypomagnetic field. Aims: We aimed to provide a critical analysis of several ways of preparing hypomagnetic field, differences between hypomagnetic chambers and Helmholtz coils, and review of thematic patents and articles available in the Russian Federation. Methods: We structured and analyzed modern achievements in HMF. Experimental studies on living organisms were evaluated because they show different technical conditions connected to the theme of the hypomagnetic field. Results: Based on this analysis, a new resource-effective technology, which reveals several concerns on the hypomagnetic field, was offered. This technology is essential to be used during preparations for space missions, which require products with special necessities in terms of effectiveness and reliability. Conclusion: We summarized and correlated the results of experiments with possible magnetic conditions, which can occur during space missions and in some military and civil applications. Protection strategies from hypomagnetic conditions were considered. Novel experiments regarding realistic conditions were suggested
The Impact of Russian Educational Policy on the Formation of Georgian Education System
Authors: Kurashvili Lana
Published: October 2020

The study examined the impact of Russian educational policy on the development of the education system in Georgia. It determines the factors influencing formation of the Georgian educational system for centuries under Tsarist and Soviet Russia. Despite years of reforms since independence, the issue of reorganizing the Georgian education system and eliminating the legacy of the past has not lost its relevance in the current period. The historical research method was used in order to study, analyze and draw specific conclusions from past events. The article presents the four main periods of Tsarist Russia and the first independent republic of Georgia in 1918-1921, the Soviet Union and modern independent Georgia. The mentioned periods were examined in the four main directions - the importance of education, national language policy, management system and teaching-learning approaches. The research has found that tsarist and Soviet authorities used similarly totalitarian-authoritarian methods to achieve imperial or Soviet party goals. An important difference concerned the importance of education when, unlike the Tsarist one, the Soviet authorities imposed a large mission on education, but in return demanded the existence of an ideologized society. As for the first independent republic of Georgia of 1918-1921 and the educational policy of modern independent Georgia, the educational policies of the mentioned periods coincide in regard of Western values, democratic principles and European approaches to teaching and learning. The educational policy of independent Georgia was characterized by a radical nature aimed at liberating the old school traditions and integrating them into the international educational space.

La Ascendencia y el Trato Personal Como Factores Para Concretar la Procuracion de Fondos
Authors: Garza Gaspar Eduardo Fuentes
Published: October 2020

El objetivo de este artÃ­culo es analizar el impacto que tienen dos factores importantes en el proceso de procuraciÃ³n de fondos. Uno de ellos es la ascendencia entre quien solicita el recurso y el posible donante y el segundo es la forma en que se establece el contacto entre ambas partes. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se documentaron los resultados de cuatro eventos de procuraciÃ³n de fondos realizados en distintas ciudades, pero con la misma metodologÃ­a y en los cuales, participaron doscientos promotores, quienes documentaron en lo particular los resultados del proceso de solicitud de donativos con los donantes a quienes contactaron. Ambos factores impactaron de forma positiva el proceso de procuraciÃ³n de fondos en cada uno de los cuatro eventos. La ascendencia brinda un mayor grado de confianza a la hora de solicitar a una persona algÃºn tipo de ayuda y la solicitud en persona de dicho apoyo tambiÃ©n incrementa las posibilidades de que un individuo se convierta en donante.
The objective of this article is to analyze the impact that two important factors have on the fundraising process. One of them is the ascendancy between the person requesting the resource and the possible donor and the second is the way in which contact is established between both parties. To carry out this study, the results of four fundraising events held in different cities but with the same methodology were documented, in which 200 promoters participated, who documented the results of the donation request process with the donors who were contacted. Both factors positively impacted the fundraising process at each of the four events. Granting provides a greater degree of confidence when requesting some kind of help from a person and requesting such support in person also increases the chances of an individual becoming a donor.

Strategic alliances are characterized by the simultaneity of cooperation and competition. This phenomenon was popularized under the notion of coopetition. This article focuses on the study of the impact of co-opetition strategies on the export performance of SMEs. The data collected by questionnaire from a sample of 150 Moroccan exporting SMEs were analyzed by structural equations according to the PLS approach. The results show that trust acts as a moderator of the cooperative relationship between competitors. The latter develop their competitive behavior to achieve their export objectives, especially as there is cooperation and a climate of trust is established.
Worship and Sacrifice in Isaiah 1:10-17 A Textual Study and Application to the Contemporary Church and Society
Authors: Odukogbe Israel
Published: October 2020

Worship, which includes sacrifices and offerings, has been commanded by Yahweh but not as a replacement for total obedience of the Torah. However, it is common knowledge that Israel and Judah have a long biblical history of disobedience to Yahweh. Isaiah seems to visualize a mixup of blood (bull and human), which becomes a contamination before Yahweh and in turn, rendering their sacrifices worthless. This paper examines Isaiahâ€™s position alongside those of his contemporaries - Amos, Hosea and Micah - through a textual study - on Yahwehâ€™s preference for obedience and social justice over empty liturgical observances. It also argues the prevalence of hypocritical services found both in Church and society today.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the floristic diversity of these plants in four types of land use (Teak, Shinglewoodblack Afara association, hevea, Fallows) in BouaflÃ© Classified Forest. Lianas at 1 cm DBH were inventoried in sampling blocks of 1 hectare (100 m x 100 m) divided in eight elementary blocks of 25 m x 20. Results showed that 522 lianas included in 45 species, 39 genera and 20 families were recorded. In addition, Fallows and Shinglewood-black Afara association were the richest and most diversified in lianas while Teak and Hevea plantations were the poorest and less diversified. Regarding the Family Importance Value, the most important families were Passifloraceae (VIF = 63,97), Fabaceae (VIF = 52,08), Caesalpiniaceae (VIF = 39,25) and Combretaceae (VIF = 27,90). According to Importance value Index (IVI), Adenia lobata (IVI = 50,33), Combretum zenckeri (IVI = 27,15) and Acacia pennata (IVI = 28,41) were the most represented species in all type of land use. Furthermore, the distribution in diameter classes showed a stable population of lianas. This study showed that multispecifical reforestation plans are preferable to that of single species.
Les lianes, une des composantes importantes de la flore des forÃªts tropicales sont bien souvent nÃ©gligÃ©es dans des travaux dâ€™Ã©tude floristique. La diversitÃ© de ces plantes dans quatre types dâ€™occupation du sol (TOS) de la forÃªt classÃ©e de BouaflÃ© a Ã©tÃ© Ã©tudiÃ©e. Il sâ€™agit de trois types de reboisement (Teck, association FrakÃ©-FramirÃ©, hÃ©vÃ©a) et des jachÃ¨res. Les inventaires floristiques utilisant la mÃ©thode de surface ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©s dans des parcelles dâ€™un hectare (100 m x 100 m). Ainsi, 522 individus de 45 espÃ¨ces de lianes appartenant Ã  39 genres et 20 familles ont Ã©tÃ© inventoriÃ©s. Les TOS jachÃ¨res et plantations de FrakÃ©-FramirÃ© ont Ã©tÃ© les plus riches et diversifiÃ©es en lianes tandis que ceux de Teck et dâ€™hÃ©vÃ©a ont Ã©tÃ© les plus pauvres et moins diversifiÃ©es. Dans lâ€™ensemble des TOS, les familles les plus importantes ont Ã©tÃ© les Passifloraceae (VIF = 63,97), les Fabaceae (VIF = 52,08), les Caesalpiniaceae (VIF = 39,25) et les Combretaceae (VIF = 27,90). Adenia lobata (IVI = 50,33), Acacia pennata (IVI = 28,41) et Combretum zenkeri (IVI = 27,15) ont Ã©tÃ© les espÃ¨ces les plus importantes. Lâ€™analyse de la structure diamÃ©trique a montrÃ© une population stable de lianes. Cette Ã©tude a montrÃ© que, pour une reconstitution efficiente du couvert vÃ©gÃ©tal, les reboisements plurispÃ©cifiques sont prÃ©fÃ©rables aux reboisements monospÃ©cifiques.

La forte mortalitÃ© infanto-juvÃ©nile est prÃ©occupante. Le Sommet mondial pour les enfants (1990) ciblait de rÃ©duire de 1/3 son niveau de 1990 Ã  2000. De mÃªme, les Objectifs de DÃ©veloppement Durable, visaient quant Ã  eux, un niveau de 25â€° au plus dâ€™ici 2030. En GuinÃ©e, cette mortalitÃ© infantojuvÃ©nile demeure Ã©levÃ©e (108â€° en 2018). Des Ã©tudes antÃ©rieures ont largement mis en Ã©vidence les principaux dÃ©terminants de cette mortalitÃ© infanto-juvÃ©nile mais leur influence Ã  diffÃ©rents niveaux dâ€™analyse reste trÃ¨s peu connue et documentÃ©e. La prÃ©sente Ã©tude y apporte une contribution en mesurant lâ€™influence des facteurs individuels, familiaux et rÃ©gionaux. Lâ€™application dâ€™une rÃ©gression logistique multiniveau aux donnÃ©es de lâ€™EnquÃªte DÃ©mographique et de SantÃ© (2018) montre que les facteurs individuels (rangs de naissance, niveau dâ€™instruction de la mÃ¨re, lâ€™ethnie, lâ€™Ã¢ge Ã  lâ€™accouchement), les facteurs familiaux (niveau de vie du mÃ©nage) et les facteurs rÃ©gionaux (DegrÃ© dâ€™hÃ©tÃ©rogÃ©nÃ©itÃ© ethnique, couverture vaccinale et alphabÃ©tisation des mÃ¨res) sont significatifs pour expliquer cette mortalitÃ©.
The high mortality of children under-five is worrying. The World Summit for Children (1990) aimed to reduce by 1/3 its level from 1990 to 2000. Similarly, the Sustainable Development Goals for their part, aimed at a level of 25â€° at most by 2030. In Guinea, this mortality of children under-five remains high (108â€° in 2018). Previous studies have largely highlighted the main determinants of this mortality of children under-five, but their influence at different levels of analysis remains little known and documented. This study contributes to this by measuring the influence of individual, family and regional factors. The application of a multilevel logistic regression to data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (2018) shows that the individual factors (birth ranks, motherâ€™s level of education, ethnicity, age at childbirth), family factors (household standard of living) and regional factors (degree of ethnic heterogeneity, vaccination coverage and mothersâ€™ literacy) are significant in explaining this mortality.

The Beni Moussa perimeter in the plain of Tadla is located in the Beni Mellal - Khenifra region characterized by the diversity of its relief where the mountain meets the plain through the foothills. Bibliographic studies raise the dominance of limestone formations in the Atlas ranges of this region, and the piedmont accumulates alluvium deposited by rivers, while the plain is filled with mio-plio-quaternary deposits. A series of seven drill holes of various depths, supplemented by pressuremeter measurements every 1.50m of depth using the Menard pressuremeter, was carried out on sites scattered around the perimeter of the Beni Moussa in the plain of Tadla, to validate at first the bibliographic geological models, then to appreciate the bearing capacity of the lithologies revealed. The lithological sections thus revealed an alternation of alluvial deposits, clays and clay loams, deposited on calcareous formations, resulting from the dolomitic and calcareous mountainous debris mobilized following the seasonal temperatureâ€™s variation of the region. Moreover, the measured pressurometric ranges characterize a generally high bearing capacity, and reflect the generalized overconsolidation of the facies and soils encountered in the Beni Moussa area, except for the Middle Pleistocene formations, which are mainly characterized by channeled conglomeratic deposits.This studyâ€™s datathus reflect a good bearing capacity of the ground formations, capable of supporting the superstructures founded in this perimeter.

Une campagne ocÃ©anographique cÃ´tiÃ¨re a Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©e en Juillet 2018 entre El Jadida et Jorf Lasfar. Cette zone est caractÃ©risÃ©e par la prÃ©sence d'algues rouges et prÃ©sente une bathymÃ©trie trÃ¨s rÃ©guliÃ¨re de la cÃ´te Ã  lâ€™isobathe 20m. Les paramÃ¨tres ocÃ©anographiques collectÃ©s au cours de cette mission montrent que la colonne d'eau est bien stratifiÃ©e avec des eaux froides riches en nutriments au fond et relativement plus chaudes et dÃ©ficientes en nutriments en surface. La zone Ã©tudiÃ©e est trÃ¨s influencÃ©e par la forte concentration des phosphates provenant des rejets de Jorf Lasfar. Durant la pÃ©riode de la campagne, la stratification verticale pourrait sâ€™expliquer par la faible activitÃ© des rÃ©surgences des eaux froides profondes. MalgrÃ© cette stratification, la colonne d'eau Ã©tait bien saturÃ©e en oxygÃ¨ne dissous aussi bien en surface quâ€™au fond.
A coastal oceanographic cruise was carried out on July 2018 between El Jadida and Jorf Lasfar. This area is characterized by the presence of red algae and presents a very regular bathymetry from the coast to isobaths 20m. The collected oceanographic parameters during this cruise show that the water column is well stratified with cold waters rich in nutrients at the bottom and relatively warmer and deficient in nutrients on the surface. The area study is very influenced by the high concentration of phosphates originated from Jorf Lasfar. During this summerâ€™s period, the vertical stratification could be explained by the low activity of the resurgences of cold deep waters. Despite this stratification, the water column is well saturated on dissolved oxygen both on the surface and at the bottom.

Se evaluÃ³ y comparÃ³ estadÃ­sticamente el posicionamiento obtenido a travÃ©s del receptor de bajo costo U-blox ZED-F9P de nueva generaciÃ³n con un receptor geodÃ©sico, realizando observaciones GNSS sobre un vÃ©rtice geodÃ©sico mediante del mÃ©todo de Posicionamiento Puntual Preciso y relativo estÃ¡tico, con una distancia de 33 km a la estaciÃ³n de referencia. Esto, con la finalidad de probar la factibilidad de utilizar receptores de bajo costo de gama similares en trabajos topogrÃ¡ficos-geodÃ©sicos. Para ello, se consideran cuatro escenarios; en el primer escenario, se aplicÃ³ la tÃ©cnica relativo estÃ¡tico con el equipo de bajo costo, en el segundo escenario se procesÃ³ con un receptor geodÃ©sico en modo relativo estÃ¡tico; ambos mediante un software comercial. Para el tercer y cuarto escenario, se procesÃ³ modo Posicionamiento Puntual Preciso con el software RTKLIB. Los resultados muestran que para la tÃ©cnica Posicionamiento Puntal Preciso la precisiÃ³n lograda de 1 cm por el equipo de bajo costo es apta para realizar trabajos geodÃ©sicos. En el mÃ©todo relativo estÃ¡tico, la precisiÃ³n lograda de 7 mm indica que es posible utilizar el equipo de bajo costo para trabajos topÃ³grafos-geodÃ©sicos de alta precisiÃ³n considerando una lÃ­nea base â‰¤33 km, esto, segÃºn la normatividad del Instituto Nacional de EstadÃ­stica y GeografÃ­a.
The new generation, low-cost U-blox ZED-F9P receiver was evaluated and statistically compared by GNSS observations on a geodesic monument, through both Precise Point Positioning and Static relative positioning techniques with a distance of 33 km from the references station. This was done with the purpose of checking the use feasibility of the low-cost receiver of similar gamma in topographic-geodesic works. To that end, four scenarios were considered: in the first scenario, the static relative positioning with the low-cost equipment was applied; in the second scenario, the static relative positioning with a geodetic receiver was applied. Both scenarios were processed with commercial software. The third and fourth scenarios were processed with Precise Point Positioning techniques through the RTKLIB software. The results show that Precise Point Positioning techniques get a precision of 1 cm through the use of low-cost equipment which is suitable to apply in geodetic works. In the static relative method, the precision obtained is 7 mm, indicating the possibility of using the low-cost equipment in both survey and geodetic high precision works, considering a line base â‰¤30 Km, according to the Instituto Nacional de EstadÃ­stica y GeografÃ­a normative.

Introdução - Um dos principais causadores de obesidade e adoecimento da população é o desconhecimento dos bons hábitos nutricionais ou a não aderência a eles. Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade de um programa de educação nutricional sobre o conhecimento de pacientes hipertensos e/ou diabéticos. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo, com amostra de 36 indivíduos, adultos e idosos de ambos os sexos, divididos igualmente em dois grupos (com e sem exposição à intervenção da nutricionista no programa de alimentação saudável). Os pacientes foram comparados quanto ao conhecimento nutricional por meio de questionários validados além de dados sociodemográficos e antropométricos. Resultados: O grupo com intervenção foi composto por (n=18) e o sem intervenção por (n=18). Em relação ao estado nutricional avaliado pelo IMC, 27,8% (n=10) apresentavam sobrepeso e 47,2% obesidade (n=17). O resultado do conhecimento nutricional da amostra total foi 52,8% moderado e 38,9% alto apesar de a maioria não ter concluído o ensino fundamental. Em relação ao IMC, destaca-se que os pacientes com sobrepeso e obesidade mostraram conhecimento nutricional de moderado a alto (sobrepeso com conhecimento nutricional moderado 70% e obesidade com conhecimento nutricional alto, 64.7%). Conclusão: Concluímos que os pacientes com diagnóstico de hipertensão e diabetes mellitus apresentaram moderado e alto conhecimento nutricional tendo o grau de escolaridade como fator principal na pontuação do Questionário de Conhecimento Nutricional. Contudo, este conhecimento não refletiu em modificações no comportamento alimentar.
