Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Sources for Electric and Hydrogen Vehicles in Europe
Authors: Tymofiiv Volodymyr , Korba Peter , Al-Rabeei Samer , Horkay Juraj
Published: December 2024

The progress of the European Union in achieving its environmental and climate goals is being hampered by rising oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The EU transport sector remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, which account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and this figure is constantly rising. There are several alternatives that can replace traditional vehicles, but only two of them have no direct CO2 emissions and are among the best in terms of environmental friendliness: the battery electric vehicle and the fuel cell electric vehicle. This article analyses greenhouse gas emissions from existing electricity and hydrogen generation in the European Union by source. The authors compare emissions from different types of vehicles and show how changes in the country's energy mix affect these emissions. In the practical part, AFLEET is used to better compare the information obtained with each other.

Authors: Khan Waseem Ahmad , Srivastava Divesh , Nisar Kottakkaran Sooppy
Published: December 2024

Motivated by their importance and potential for applications in certain problems in number theory, combinatorics, classical and numerical analysis, and other field of applied mathematics, a variety of polynomials and numbers with their variants and extensions have recently been introduced and investigated. In this sequel, we modify the known generating functions of polynomials, due to both Milne-Thomson and Dere and Simsek, to introduce a new class of generalized polynomials and present some of their involved properties. As obvious special cases of the newly introduced polynomials, we also called power sum-Laguerre-Hermite polynomials and generalized Laguerre and poly-Bernoulli polynomials and present some of their involved identities and formulas. The results presented here, being very general, are pointed out to be specialized to yield a number of known and new identities involving relatively simple and familiar polynomials.
Biharmonic curves along Riemannian submersions
Authors: Karakaş Gizem Köprülü , Şahin Bayram
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this paper is to study biharmonic curves along Riemannian submersions. We first consider a Riemannian submersion from a Riemannian manifold onto Riemannian manifold and investigate under what conditions a biharmonic curve on the total manifold is transformed to a biharmonic curve on the base manifold. We obtain several results with certain restrictions on curvatures. We then consider a Riemannian submersion from a Kaehler manifold onto a Riemannian manifold. Necessary and sufficient conditions were obtained for a curve that is biharmonic in the total manifold of Riemannian submersion to be biharmonic on the base manifold along the Riemannian submersion. In addition, considering the special cases of the curvatures of the curve, the biharmonicity of the curve on the base manifold is discussed.

Application of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Osteoarthritis
Authors: Kim Hyun Ok
Published: December 2024

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, also called degenerative arthritis in the past. Osteoarthritis mainly affects various joints, including the finger joints and knee joints. As Korea enters an aging society, the severity of osteoarthritis is gradually increasing. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are important. Up until now, osteoarthritis has been diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and plain radiography. However, recently, the proportion of ultrasound examinations in the diagnosis of osteoarthritis is gradually increasing. This is because ultrasound examinations are very useful for evaluating osteophytes, cartilage damage, and synovitis, which are pathologic findings of osteoarthritis. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to help perform ultrasound examinations in actual clinics based on recently published research data.
Liver Fibrosis Assessment in Chronic Liver Diseases Using Elastography: A Comprehensive Review of Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography
Authors: Lee Han Ah
Published: December 2024

Chronic liver diseases (CLD) are a major global health issue, with liver fibrosis progression and cirrhosis as critical determinants of prognosis and treatment strategy. Historically, liver biopsy has been the gold standard for assessing fibrosis, but limitations such as invasiveness, variability in results, and cost have spurred the development of non-invasive tests. Elastography techniques measure liver stiffness, providing important insights into fibrosis severity across various CLDs, including hepatitis B and C and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Ultrasound-based elastography techniques include vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), point shear wave elastography, and 2D shear wave elastography. Most studies report high accuracy for diagnosing significant fibrosis and cirrhosis. While VCTE is the most widely used elastography method, each technique has strengths and limitations in different patient populations, affected by factors like alanine aminotransaminase levels, obesity, and presence of hepatic inflammation. Elastography proves valuable informations in treatment decisions for hepatitis B patients in the "gray zone" and helps identify high-risk groups requiring post-hepatitis C eradication surveillance. Recent studies emphasize the potential of elastography-based scores, such as the FibroScan-AST and AGILE scores, in improving diagnostic accuracy for patients with MASLD. However, diagnostic performance may vary by setting, requiring validation in primary care. Emerging precision medicine approaches, integrating genomics and novel biomarkers, promise to further enhance risk stratification in CLD management. Despite substantial advances, broader clinical application of elastography and related biomarkers necessitates further validation, particularly in diverse care settings, to ensure their optimal utility in routine clinical practice.
A Case of Huge Retroperitoneal Cystic Mesothelioma Mimicking Diffuse Ascites
Authors: Kim Ha Young , Ahn Joseph , Han Eun Mee , Seo Jun-young
Published: December 2024

A 42-year-old female patient was found to have a lesion that appeared to be ascites during a trans-abdominal ultrasound at a local healthcare center as part of a routine health check-up. She was subsequently referred to the gastroenterology department of Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital for further evaluation. Abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a cystic lesion suspected to be a retroperitoneal lymphangioma. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection based on these findings, and a postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cystic mesothelioma. She has been followed for 5 months after surgery without any complications or signs of recurrence. When a localized lesion resembling ascites is found in a patient without underlying conditions, it is important to include cystic tumor in the differential diagnosis. Comprehensive imaging studies like CT and MRI, along with surgical intervention and immunohistochemical analysis, are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

La contratación a distancia con consumidores a nivel comunitario: una obra en construcción permanente
Authors: Sosa Olán Henrry , Argáez de los Santos Jesús Manuel
Published: December 2024

La contratación por internet ha ido creciendo en la Unión Europea, tal y como se demuestra en los Eurobarómetros de los años 2008, 2011 y 2013. Ante tal situación, el legislador europeo se ha visto en la necesidad de adoptar medidas que beneficien a los consumidores, entre las que encontramos la aprobación de la Directiva 2000/31/CE, de comercio electrónico y la promulgación de la Directiva 2011/83/UE sobre los derechos de los consumidores, en donde se armoniza y unifica el régimen jurídico de la contratación a distancia. La norma comentada marca un precedente a nivel comunitario, ya que como veremos se pasa de un enfoque de armonización mínima, a un enfoque de armonización plena. Asimismo, el tema central del presente trabajo es demostrar cómo la contratación electrónica es una obra en construcción permanente, debido a que el derecho evoluciona, apareciendo nuevos problemas.
Comparative analysis of pain outcomes in operative versus diagnostic hysteroscopy: the role of menopausal status
Authors: Özkol Vahit , Bornaun Teymur
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The study investigates the differential pain outcomes associated with operative and diagnostic hysteroscopy, with a focus on the influence of menopausal status on pain perception. This research aims to refine pain management strategies tailored to patient demographics in gynecological practices.
Methods: A total of 200 patients undergoing hysteroscopy were systematically evaluated. Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The study distinguished between operative and diagnostic procedures, with particular attention to the effect of menopausal status on pain scores. Compliance with CONSORT guidelines was ensured, and relevant clinical trial registration numbers were included.
Results: Pain scores did not significantly differ between operative and diagnostic hysteroscopies, suggesting that the invasiveness of the procedure might not directly correlate with pain perception. However, menopausal women reported significantly higher pain scores, indicating a possible increased sensitivity or decreased pain tolerance related to hormonal changes.
Conclusions: The results affirm that existing pain management protocols effectively mitigate discomfort across different hysteroscopic procedures. Nonetheless, the distinct pain profiles of menopausal women warrant the development of customized pain management strategies. Enhancing analgesic approaches for this subgroup could improve patient care and outcomes in gynecological settings.

Authors: Mandes Sławomir , Karlińska Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

Celem artykułu jest krytyczna refleksja nad relacją pomiędzy jakościową analizą tematyczną i modelowaniem tematycznym (ang. topic modeling), jedną z bardziej popularnych odmian automatycznego przetwarzania tekstu. Na podstawie wyników jakościowej i ilościowej analizy dokumentów Konferencji Episkopatu Polski autorzy pokazują wady i zalety modelowania tematycznego. Negatywnie weryfikują tezę o zastępowalności analizy tematycznej przez modelowanie tematyczne i wskazują na niezbędność połączenia podejścia jakościowego z ilościowym w ramach metodologii metod mieszanych (ang. mixed methods). W ostatniej części opracowania przedstawiają możliwe sposoby łączenia obu metod, za pomocą których badacze jakościowi i badaczki jakościowe na podstawie paradygmatu metod mieszanych mogą skorzystać z modelowania tematycznego i – ze świadomością jego wad i zalet – wzbogacić swój warsztat, rozszerzyć zakres badań oraz usprawnić proces analizy.
Badanie jako praktyka solidarności? O feministycznym procesie badawczym z Syryjkami z doświadczeniem uchodźstwa w Libanie
Authors: Hajdarowicz Inga
Published: December 2024

Artykuł jest wynikiem refleksji metodologicznej nad prowadzeniem badań z kobietami z doświadczeniem uchodźstwa, na przykładzie ponad pięcioletniej etnografii zrealizowanej z Syryjkami w Libanie na bazie podejścia feministycznego i aktywistycznego. Jego celem jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy i w jaki sposób badanie socjologiczne może być elementem obserwowanej zmiany i praktyką solidarności. Autorka osadza refleksję w inspiracjach teoretycznych i trwających debatach dotyczących partycypacyjnego podejścia do działania i prowadzenia badań z osobami do tej pory marginalizowanymi, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kobiet z Globalnego Południa i uchodźczyń, które zainspirowały wybór tematu, ale też nakierowały na określone metodologiczne ścieżki. Analizując elementy procesu badawczego, autorka przygląda się mu jako praktyce solidarności (na podstawie typologii zaproponowanej przez Louise Lamphere) i omawia dylematy towarzyszące tego typu zaangażowaniu i realizacji feministyczny badań aktywistycznych.

Podjęte w artykule rozważania wpisują się w dyskurs nad aktywną polityką zatrudnienia osób z niepełnosprawnościami w kontekście przynależnych im praw. Opracowanie prezentuje wyniki analiz ukazujących uwarunkowania realizacji szkoleń zawodowych dla osób z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną z perspektywy prowadzących je szkoleniowców. Analizy prowadzone były w teoretycznych ramach społeczno-relacyjnej teorii niepełnosprawności i metodologicznym paradygmacie jakościowym. Podstawę analiz stanowią wyniki badań uzyskane za pomocą wywiadów swobodnych z doświadczonymi trenerami prowadzącymi szkolenia dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami. Istotne było zbadanie realizacji szkoleń przez doświadczonych trenerów i poznanie tego, jak rzeczywistość szkoleniowa jest przez nich konstruowana w myśl założeń symbolicznego interakcjonizmu.Przeprowadzone analizy wskazują, iż szkolenia dla osób z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną mogą i powinny stać się istotnym elementem w procesie aktywizacji zawodowej osób z niepełnosprawnościami, ale są obarczone ograniczeniami w fazie ich realizacji przede wszystkim z powodu słabej kultury szkoleniowej na terenie przedsiębiorstw.

Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: The medications preferred by patients for allergic rhinitis and their usage remain unclear. This study investigated treatment-seeking behaviors in patients with allergic rhinitis, including medical treatments, environmental controls, and surgical treatments.Methods: In this study, a cross-sectional survey was conducted by internal medicine, pediatric, or otorhinolaryngology physicians at university hospitals from January 2022 to April 2022. A questionnaire was administered to patients with confirmed allergic rhinitis to collect information regarding medical treatments (prescription and over-the-counter medication use patterns, comorbid asthma, and allergen-specific immunotherapy), environmental controls (usage of air purifiers and pet avoidance), and experiences with surgical treatments.Results: We included 51 patients with allergic rhinitis with a mean age of 31.6±16.0 years. Among them, 47 (92.2%) and 6 (11.8%) patients had pollen allergies and asthma, respectively. Furthermore, 41 (80.4%) patients took prescribed medicines, while 39 (76.5%) patients only used the medication when experiencing symptoms. Thirty patients (58.8%) reported concurrent use of intranasal sprays and oral medications. Thirty-three patients (64.7%) reported awareness of immunotherapy, and there were no preferential differences between subcutaneous (52%) and sublingual immunotherapy (48%). Of the 36 patients (70.6%) who reported using an air purifier, 38.9% considered it helpful in preventing allergic rhinitis symptoms. Fourteen patients (27.5%) currently or previously had a companion animal, with half experiencing worsening of symptoms. Twelve patients had received surgical treatment and reported high satisfaction levels (41.6%, very satisfied; 41.6%, satisfied).Conclusion: Patients with allergic rhinitis showed similar preferences for oral and spray medications. They also showed satisfaction with surgical treatments and an interest in the environmental management of allergic rhinitis.
The Use of Sodium Chloride Powder Sachets May Not Increase the Risk of Microplastic Emissions in Nasal Irrigation Fluids: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Kim Kyung Soo , Min Hyun Jin
Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: Microplastics, which originate from the breakdown of larger plastic fragments or are intentionally produced for industrial applications, pose significant human and ecological risks through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. Our study examined the release of microplastics during the preparation of homemade saline solutions, specifically when tearing open powder packets and mixing the powder with water.Methods: We used commercially available polypropylene nasal irrigation bottles from the Korean market and collected six samples of nasal irrigation fluids. The samples were categorized into two groups: the control group comprised three samples, without sodium chloride powder, while the powder-added group consisted of three experimental samples, where a sachet of sodium chloride powder was mixed into the water to achieve a 0.9% sodium chloride concentration. The preparation involved cooling boiled water before mixing in the powder sachet. A Raman XploRA Plus confocal microscope was used for the detection and analysis of microplastics.Results: We observed 17, 56, and 26 microplastic particles in the control group samples, with a mean of 33.00±20.42, and 7, 6, and 34 microplastic particles in the powder-added group, with a mean of 15.66±15.88. There was no significant difference in microplastic content between the groups. Analysis revealed that the control samples contained 66 fragments (67%) and 33 fibers (33%), while the powder-added samples contained 45 fragments (96%) and two fibers (4%). We identified three types of polymers: polypropylene (control: 96, powder-added: 41), polyethylene (control: 2, powder-added: 3), and polyethylene terephthalate (control: 1, powder-added: 3).Conclusion: Our findings indicate that adding sodium chloride powder to nasal irrigation fluids does not significantly alter microplastic release, highlighting the importance of considering potential microplastic pollution from common medical devices.
Vidian Nerve Schwannoma Extending Into the Foramen Rotundum in a Female Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Bang Je Ho , Jin Se Hyeon , Kim Su Jin , Lee Kun Hee
Published: December 2024

Schwannomas are benign tumors that can develop in any part of a nerve containing Schwann cells. Skull base schwannomas are rare, representing approximately 4% of extracranial schwannomas. Among these, vidian nerve schwannomas are particularly uncommon, with only a few documented cases. In this report, we describe the case of a 58-year-old female patient who presented with an incidental finding of a skull base mass. The patient’s only symptoms were intermittent headaches and dry eyes. No mass was detected during the physical examination. Radiographic evaluation revealed a neoplasm within the vidian canal, and the lesion’s characteristics suggested a schwannoma. The patient underwent endoscopic resection, and subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. Follow-up imaging and physical examination showed no evidence of recurrence. This case report highlights a schwannoma located in the vidian canal and extending into the foramen rotundum, which was successfully managed with endoscopic surgery.
Surgical Timing and Stenting in Neonatal Choanal Atresia
Authors: Moon Seojin , Jeong Yeonsu , Rha Min Seok , Kim Chang-Hoon , Cho Hyung-Ju
Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: Congenital choanal atresia is a rare condition that occurs in approximately 1 in 7,000 to 8,000 live births and involves the obstruction of the posterior nasal airway. It may present as either unilateral or bilateral, with bilateral cases being more severe due to the risk of immediate neonatal respiratory distress. Bilateral congenital choanal atresia (BCCA) necessitates prompt medical intervention to prevent cyanosis and significant breathing difficulties. This study focuses on the timing of surgery, the duration of stent use, and postoperative care in patients with bilateral congenital choanal atresia who underwent endoscopic transnasal surgery. Unlike previous studies, this research emphasizes the efficacy of an extended stenting period and introduces novel stenting techniques aimed at reducing restenosis.Methods: From 2018 to 2021, three patients with BCCA underwent transnasal surgery that included the placement of stents. We retrospectively analyzed their medical records, focusing on the surgical outcomes in relation to the duration of stent placement and postoperative care. A novel approach was adopted, involving the use of customized stent sizes tailored to the specific anatomical factors of each patient, which facilitated improved neochoana maintenance.Results: The average interval from diagnosis to surgery was 3.6 weeks. Surgery was successful in all cases, and the stent was removed after 6 months. In all patients, stable neochoanae were maintained without significant restenosis. Additionally, we observed that maintaining a stent for a period longer than previously recommended significantly reduced the risk of restenosis compared to the shorter durations used in earlier studies.Conclusion: Our study suggests that an extended stenting period of 6 months or more is crucial for maintaining long-term patency in patients with BCCA. This approach could lead to a more reliable stenting protocol and improved postoperative care, potentially establishing a new standard for managing BCCA.

Authors: Park Jae-Seon , Kim Young Bok , Park Il Seok , Han Sun A , Kang Sung Hun , Lee Kyung Chul , Hong Seok Jin
Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction, leading to disrupted sleep and various health complications. Positional OSA (POSA) refers to patients whose OSA severity is significantly influenced by body position, especially when lying supine. This study aimed to evaluate the polysomnographic characteristics of POSA and non-positional OSA (non-POSA) and to assess their clinical implications.Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with OSA who underwent type 1 polysomnography. Patients were categorized into POSA and non-POSA groups based on whether their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in the supine position was at least twice as high as that in the lateral position. We collected and analyzed clinical and polysomnographic parameters, including AHI, oxygen desaturation index, arousal index, nadir peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), and sleep position proportions. These were compared across different OSA severity levels—mild, moderate, and severe—to assess differences between the POSA and non-POSA groups.Results: In total, 500 patients with OSA were analyzed, of whom 63.4% were classified as having POSA. Patients with POSA exhibited milder disease severity than those without, with an average AHI of 23.3±15.3/h versus 43.9±27.9/h, respectively, and a higher nadir SpO2 of 82.8%±6.6% versus 77.1%±9.8%. POSA was more common in patients with mild OSA (76.5%) and moderate OSA (72.8%), while severe OSA cases were predominantly non-POSA (POSA was 47.4%). Moreover, patients with POSA spent significantly more sleep time in the lateral position (43.8%±22.7%) than non-POSA patients (27.2%±28.2%).Conclusion: Patients with POSA generally exhibited milder disease and more favorable polysomnographic profiles than non-POSA patients. POSA is prevalent in mild-to-moderate OSA, and identifying it via polysomnography may inform tailored treatment strategies.

role of emotional intelligence and emotion recognition ability in romantic relationship satisfaction of adults varying in autistic-like traits
Authors: Williams Maya Daly , Duman Monica , McKenzie Karen
Published: December 2024

Research suggests that emotional intelligence is important for relationship satisfaction. Some people face challenges with both romantic relationships and aspects of emotional intelligence, for example, autistic people. There has, however, been very limited research into these factors with non-clinical participants with varying levels of autistic like traits. This research aimed to investigate the extent to which both general emotional intelligence (EI) and the specific component of emotion recognition mediated the relationship between autistic-like traits and satisfaction with romantic relationships. A correlational design, with a general population sample, was used in two studies (study 1, n = 139; study 2, n = 183). The results of our studies found that higher emotional intelligence and emotion recognition were associated with higher relationship satisfaction and that those with higher numbers of autistic like traits had lower emotional intelligence and emotion recognition scores. Emotional intelligence, but not emotion recognition, mediated the relationship between autistic like traits and relationship satisfaction. The research provides novel insights into how emotional intelligence and autistic-like traits influence romantic relationship satisfaction and has implications for potential interventions.
Grounds for Cooperation in the Radicalisation Governance Milieu? A Qualitative Exploration of Stakeholder Issue Frames of Online Radicalisation
Authors: van Oorschot Irene , Touburg Giorgio , Strelkov Alexander , Jacobs Gabriele
Published: December 2024

In the study of online radicalisation, little attention has been paid to the way local
stakeholders within the broader online radicalisation milieu define, frame, and problematise
online radicalisation. As these conceptions and problematisations are crucial to the
possibility of cooperation and coordination between them, this lacuna represents a curious
oversight. Drawing on a cross-national and highly diverse sample of stakeholders, including
law enforcement actors, religious and community leaders, policy-makers and activists, and
scientific experts, we inductively identify four largely shared ‘issue frames’. We conceptualise
issue frames as ways of organising knowledge and meaning, and as crucial to the way problems
– in this case online radicalisation – come to be defined, constructed, and contested by various
social actors. Uncovering four shared issue frames, we show how stakeholders commonly 1)
highlight the tension between individual and social understanding of radicalisation; 2) reflect
on the national embeddedness of radicalisation discourse; 3) comment on the complex politics
of online radicalisation monitoring; and 4) warn against the mysteries inherent in algorithmic
surveillance and control. Demonstrating that these specific issue frames are largely shared
between a highly diverse group of stakeholders, we emphasise the need for cooperation and
coordination between these actor groups.

Published: December 2024

Learning motivation is important to encourage students to do learning activities. With good learning motivation, students will be able to face learning challenges and successfully achieve learning goals. However, the fact is that 24 students of class XII in one of the schools in Tangerang have low learning motivation. One of the reasons is because the learning method used does not provide space for students to learn according to their diverse characteristics. To overcome this problem, the author applied differentiated learning. Students are unique images of God. They are given different talents by God so they need to be served according to their needs in order to develop and use their talents for the glory of God. The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of differentiated learning according to the Merdeka Curriculum to develop student learning motivation in mathematics learning on the topic of statistics. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the implementation of differentiated learning according to the Merdeka Curriculum can develop student learning motivation by fulfilling the four indicators of learning motivation through the stages of mapping student needs, planning differentiated learning, implementing differentiated learning, and evaluation and reflection.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Motivasi belajar penting untuk mendorong siswa melakukan kegiatan belajar.

"A BARRA É QUE NEM TATAME, TEM QUE TER RESPEITO”
Authors: Fagundes Mariana Ghignatti , Pacheco Ariane Corrêa , Silva André Luiz dos Santos
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa as condições que, a despeito do histórico associado às casas noturnas e às performances de Striptease, tornaram possíveis o ensino do Pole Dance para crianças. O material empírico foi produzido a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com instrutoras de pole kids e observações de campo em dois estúdios no sul do país. Em um contexto de recrudescimento do conservadorismo no Brasil, o Pole Dance para crianças se esportiviza. Empenhadas em produzir um outro sentido para a barra, as colaboradoras do estudo investem em pedagogias que incidem sobre a disciplinarização das condutas, a institucionalização de vestimentas e sobre a construção de um ambiente adequado para as crianças e suas famílias.

Plantations forestières en Afrique tropicale sèche. Techniques et espèces à utiliser : dispositifs anti-érosifs, traitement anti-termite, date de plantation, mode de plantation
Authors: Delwaulle J.-C.
Published: December 2024

Certains sols présentent des risques d'érosion très importants (par exemple, en bordure de rivière) et ne doivent pas être choisis pour les plantations.L'utilisation de la dieldrine ou de produits de substitution est nécessaire pour prévenir tout risque d'attaque par les termites.La date de plantation doit être choisie avec soin : le calcul du pourcentage de probabilité de pluie dans un délai d'au moins trois jours a permis de définir les périodes favorables les plus probables. Elles varient d'une station à l'autre et se situent dans de nombreux cas entre la fin de la première quinzaine de juillet et le début de la deuxième quinzaine.La plantation en pots est la méthode la plus utilisée. La technique et le coût sont examinés en fin d'article.

Contexte : La valorisation des résidus de cultures pour l’alimentation des ruminants constitue une solution pour combler une partie du déficit fourrager des systèmes d’élevage pastoraux et agropastoraux durant la saison sèche en Afrique de l’Ouest, dans un contexte de changement climatique. Objectif : Cette étude avait pour objectif d’évaluer la perception des agropasteurs sur les techniques d’amélioration de l’utilisation des résidus de cultures – généralement des pailles de céréales et des fanes de légumineuses – pour l’alimentation du bétail. Méthodes : Une enquête a été menée auprès de 60 chefs d’exploitations dans la commune de Koumbia au sud-ouest du Burkina Faso. Résultats : La typologie obtenue permet d’identifier trois groupes d’exploitants – les agriculteurs, les éleveurs et les agro-éleveurs – selon la superficie qu’ils cultivaient en maïs et en coton et le nombre de bovins en leur possession. Ces trois groupes ont exprimé la même perception et appréciation favorable de la valorisation des résidus de cultures pour l’alimentation animale. En effet, 89 % des agro-éleveurs, 87 % des agriculteurs et 69 % des éleveurs utilisaient prioritairement les résidus de cultures pour complémenter leur bétail. Même si la moitié d’entre eux, quel que soit le groupe, connaissaient des techniques de valorisation des résidus de cultures, ils les pratiquaient peu. En effet, une faible proportion des agriculteurs et des éleveurs (9,1 %) et des agro-éleveurs (6,2 %) a déclaré asperger la paille avec de l’eau salée pour en améliorer la qualité nutritive. De plus, les résidus de cultures étaient le plus souvent stockés sur les toits des hangars, révélant ainsi une insuffisance d’équipements de stockage. Conclusions : cette étude a montré que les traitements visant à améliorer la valeur nutritive des résidus de cultures sont peu utilisés en raison de la mauvaise maîtrise qu’en ont les exploitants, de leur incertitude quant à l’efficacité de ces traitements, et de l’absence d’infrastructures.
Deskilling in art and the problem of ideology
Authors: Beech Dave
Published: December 2024

Debates on deskilling in art are scrutinised through a narrow theory of ideology derived exclusively from Karl Marx’s and Friedrich’s Engel’s The German Ideology. This close reading puts a strong emphasis on the critical value of interpreting ideas through an analysis of the social relations that give rise to them. This provides a model for rethinking the idea of deskilling in art not through an examination of the concrete labour of artists but through a reconstruction of the social division of labour in which skill is displaced from the artist to various other workers.
Apartment exhibitions: In search for the spaces of authenticity
Authors: Mironova Tatiana
Published: December 2024

Nowadays contemporary artists start to work on the representation of memory and history which leads them to the non-artistic spaces. Among such are the museums of conscience which provide the documents and evidences of the Holocaust, repressions, genocides, or places of memory, e.g. industrial ruins, where the history is dissolved in the landscape. Also, apartment exhibitions start gaining popularity again. However, the understanding of such spaces is quite different from Soviet underground artists, who used the apartment as a substitute of a gallery or an alternative to the white cube, creating a specific environment for showing the works. Artists distanced from the atmosphere of the place to focus on works they present. Nowadays this awareness is associated with the interest in personal memory and family history which the apartments tend to keep.
What do artists find so special in the apartment spaces? How do they work with the authentic artifacts and documents left there? And how can the exhibition space, where the artistic and documentary materials are mixed, be constructed? These questions can be considered on the example of the “Exhibition of things No. 2” that was organized in Moscow in 2020 and was curated by Elizaveta Spivakovskaya and Mikhail Kolchin. The exhibition took place in Spivakovskaya’s family apartment. It is divided into several parts devoted to particular periods in the family history, each located in different rooms focused on Spivakovskaya’s childhood in the 1990s and fragments of her father and grandfather’s life. The “Room No.2” is filled with the artworks which are made using the same materials and objects that are shown in the other rooms like toys and decals, yet this exact part allows us to shift the focus from the apartment to the exhibition space.
The exhibition gathers around the real objects which were found in the apartment to represent the memory of the family who once lived there. The visitors become inventors who discover the fragments of the past life so their role is transformed from the viewers to the active participants of the exhibition.
