Published: November 2022

The literature, infective endocarditis in patients with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy is virtually limited to isolated reported cases or groups
of cases, therefore the risk of infective endocarditis during HCM
remains poorly defined. It is considered low and mostly limited to
patients with a subaortic obstruction or with an intrinsic mitral defect

Published: November 2022

Enhancing the mechanical properties and cytocompatibility of
decellularized heart valves is the key to promote the application of
biological heart valves. In order to further improve the mechanical
properties, the electrospinning and non-woven processing methods are
combined to prepare the polylactic acid (PLA)/decellularized heart valve
nanofiber-reinforced sandwich structure electrospun scaffold. The effect
of electrospinning time on the performance of decellularized heart valve
is investigated from the aspects of morphology, mechanical properties,
softness, and biocompatibility of decellularized heart valve. Results of
the mechanical tests show that compared with the pure decellularized
heart valve, the mechanical properties of the composite heart valve were
significantly improved with the tensile strength increasing by 108% and
tensile strain increased by 571% when the electrospinning time exceeded
1 h. In addition, with this electrospinning time, the composite heart
valve has a certain promoting effect on the human umbilical vein
endothelial cells proliferation behavior. This work provides a promising
foundation for tissue heart valve reendothelialization to lay the
groundwork for organoid.

Cancer causes the second highest mortality rate after the cardiac
diseases in humans. In addition to death rates, cancer morbidity paints
a rather grim picture. Despite the advances in treatment modalities,
cancer management still remains as a challenging task. In vitro
biological evaluations use cytotoxicity as one of the most essential
indications. In vitro, cytotoxic drugs cause cell membrane
disintegration, protein synthesis inhibition, and irreversible receptor
binding, among other things. To identify cell death caused by these
insults, a number of short-term cytotoxic effects and cell proliferation
assays have been developed and employed. Chemical carcinogenesis and
xenograft models for imitating human malignancies are among the in vivo
models that have been developed. This article discusses the current
in-vitro and animal models used in the discovery and therapeutic
efficacy assessment of anti-cancer drugs.
A Dynamic Even Distribution Resource Scheduling Mechanism Combined with Network Coding for Inter-LEO Satellite Networks
Authors: Tong Xin , Li Xu , Liu Ying
Published: November 2022

LEO satellite networks have risen to the forefront of study with the
dynamic topology changes, varying service requirements and intermittent
inter-satellite links (ISLs). Resource scheduling mechanism is the key
to determining communication efficiency. However, the state-of-the-art
cannot achieve high resource efficiency under both heavy and burst
traffic loads, and the applicability of parameters design is
insufficient under intermittent ISLs. Considering this, we propose a
dynamic even distribution mechanism combined with network coding DENC.
This novel mechanism obtains the service requirements and allocates
resources dynamically through the even distribution algorithm to balance
between network maintenance overhead and idle resources waste, and
improves the success probability of transmission based on network coding
to balance between retransmission and redundancy. In this paper, we
establish performance analysis and resource efficiency optimization
models to optimize the parameters such as maintenance frequency and
coding coefficient. Besides, we construct a system-level simulation
platform. Mathematical and simulation results indicate that the DENC
performs better than SAHN-MAC, ICSMA, CSMA-TDMA and HTM under dynamic
service requirements and intermittent ISLs, and the resource efficiency
can be improved by about 130%.
Machine Learning and the Turing Test: Immediate Human- Like Musicality
Authors: Hua Tan Kian , Samson Aran
Published: November 2022

Musicology is a growing focus in computer science. Past research has had success in automatically generating music through learning-based agents that make use of neural networks and through model and rule-based approaches. These methods require a significant amount of information, either in the form of a large dataset for learning or a comprehensive set of rules based on musical concepts. This paper explores a model in which a minimal amount of musical information is needed to compose a desired style of music. This paper takes from two concepts, objectness, and evolutionary computation. The concept of objectness, an idea directly derived from imagery and pattern recognition, was used to extract specific musical objects from single musical inputs which are then used as the foundation to algorithmically produce musical pieces that are similar in style to the original inputs. These musical pieces are the product of evolutionary algorithms which implement a sequential evolution approach wherein a generated output may or may not yet be fully within the fitness thresholds of the input pieces. This method eliminates the need for a large amount of pre-provided data as well as the need for long processing times that are commonly associated with machine-learned art-pieces. This study aims to show a proof of concept of the implementation of the described model.

Biscuits and cakes were produced from the flour blends and the mineral contents investigated using standard methods. The chemical properties of the blends showed that sugar ranged from 1.53% to 3.66%, starch from 51.78-74.31%, amylose from 18.59 to 38.47%, while amylopectin by difference ranged from 30.52 to 45.43%. Moisture content ranged from 9.69 to 12.92%, ash from 0.40 to 1.79%, fat from 0.60 to 9.79%, crude protein ranged from 7.48 to 29.38%, crude fiber from 3.76 to 8.55%, while total carbohydrate ranged from 41.26 to 74.44%. Sugar, amylopectin, ash, fat, protein and fiber contents increased while starch, amylase, moisture, and total available carbohydrate decreased with an increase in substitution of acha flour, indicating a significant (p˂0.05) difference. The mineral analysis result of the biscuit produced ranged from 20.55 to 65.53 mg/kg, 16.17 to 46.20 mg/kg, 7.49 to 13.23 mg/kg, 5.43 to 11.12 mg/kg and 19.59 to 68.59 mg/kg respectively for iron, calcium, potassium, zinc and magnesium. While the mineral content of the cake produced ranged from 13.15 to 44.52 mg/kg, 12.51 to 24.90 mg/kg, 7.42 to 15-21 mg/kg, 6.70 to 14.92 mg/kg and 6.77 to 56.99 mg/kg for iron, calcium, potassium, zinc and magnesium respectively.
Genotype X Environment Interaction for Quality Traits in Advanced Bread Wheat Genotype in Ethiopia
Authors: G Alemu
Published: November 2022

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of GEI and its magnitude on the grain quality of bread wheat genotypes in Ethiopia. 15 bread wheat genotypes were evaluated using RCBD with four replications at six different locations in Ethiopia during 2017/18 cropping season. Combine Analysis of variance showed highly significant (P<0.001) differences among genotype, environment and GEI for investigated quality traits except GEI shows non-significant difference in dry gluten and gluten index. The environment contributed more than 50% only in PC (83.6%) and HLW (56.1%). The three components, G, E and GxE made almost similar contribution to most of the quality traits (WG, DG and GI), although the contribution of the environment was a little higher. Hardness index was determined mainly by the genotype (69.3%). The contribution of GxE was higher than that of genotype in all quality traits except in HDI and GI, again indicating the important role of GxE in the determination of wheat quality traits. Genotype ETBW9045 and ETBW8065 gave the best value of protein in the favorable means (15.05% and 14.75%) respectively. The Hidase had the highest value of wet gluten (58.2%) and dry gluten (24.38%) in average for all investigated locations (58.2%). GGE biplot declared ETBW9045 (#10) and ETBW8065 (#6) genotypes as stable in all quality. These two genotypes ETBW9045 (#10) and ETBW8065 (#6) are recommended for wide adaptation and for crossing. This study demonstrates success in wheat breeding for improved quality in bread wheat. The study also provides information on the combined stability of improved quality of the nationally important bread wheat genotypes. Therefore, the results of this study could be valuable for national bread wheat breeding programs to develop new varieties with high stable grain quality.
Effect of Sucrose Content (0brix) and Different Flavors on Physical, Mechanical and Sensorial Properties of Ginger Candy
Authors: P Mitra
Published: November 2022

The objectives of this study were to develop value-added low sugar ginger candy based on physical, mechanical and sensorial properties of ginger candy, to improve sensorial properties using different flavors and to investigate the effectiveness of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) bags to maintain the moisture content of ginger candy during storage. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is potential against many diseases and infections. Gingers can be converted to ready-to-eat products to increase their utilization and economic value using suitable processing techniques. Due to sharp spicy flavor, pungent aroma and short shelf-life there are few ready-to-eat ginger products available in the market. In this study, ginger candy was developed by dipping ginger slices (cubes) in 65°Brix, 70°Brix and 75°Brix sucrose solutions for osmotic drying followed by hot air drying at 60℃ for 16 hours. The physical properties (moisture content, density and color), mechanical properties (hardness, gumminess, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness) and sensory properties (appearance, texture. sweetness and overall acceptability) of three different (°Brix) ginger candies were determined to develop the desired ginger candy. The physical, mechanical and sensory properties of 65°Brix, 70°Brix and 75°Brix ginger candy revealed that 70°Brix ginger candy sample was optimum sugar content and was most desired ginger candy. The vanilla and cinnamon flavored candies were developed using the optimum sugar content (70°Brix) and the sensory analysis of the flavored ginger candy was performed to compare the flavor preference. The flavor sensory results indicated that the vanilla flavored ginger candy was more acceptable than the cinnamon flavored ginger candy. All ginger candy samples packed in LDPE and PP achieved equilibrium moisture content at the same time. But the moisture content of ginger candy in LDPE was lower than the moisture content of ginger candy in PP during storage. This result indicated that the shelf-life of ginger candy can be longer in LDPE compared to PP. The findings of this study will be beneficial for the commercial development of low sugar flavored ginger candy.

Authors: CK Yap
Published: November 2022

The present study investigated the concentrations of Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in fruit okra (Abelmochus esculentus) and leafy lettuce (Lactuta sativa) collected from selected farms in Peninsular Malaysia, based on cited and unpublished data. For the leafy lettuce, the metal concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) were 1.18-13.9 for Ni, 1.67-24.7 for Cu, 19.0-120 for Zn, 0.20-2.12 for Pb and 71.5-306 for Fe. For the fruit okra, the metal concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) were 1.19-14.4 for Ni, 5.93-20.2 for Cu, 23.7-123 for Zn, 0.01-2.21 for Pb and 43.9-172 for Fe. To estimate the human health risk assessment, all values of target hazard quotient for the 5 metals in the adults of Malaysian population were found below 1.00. This showed that there was no non-carcinogenic risk of the 5 metals via the consumption of okra and lettuce from the present study. Still, it is highly recommended that frequent monitoring of toxic chemicals besides heavy metals should be carried out for possible chemical contamination in the edible vegetables in Malaysia.
Sales Environment and Hygienic Practices of Street Food in N'Djamena, Chad
Authors: A Tidjani
Published: November 2022

The preparation and sale of street food is a sociocultural and economic fact in all countries of the world. For more than a decade, this activity has a remarkable growth given the rampant urbanization of African cities in general and N'Djamena, the capital of Chad in particular, the development of the middle class and the development of work both formally and informally. However, the hygienic failures observed around this activity constitute a source of contamination of these foods. The objective of this work is to evaluate sales environment and hygienic practices of Street Food in N'Djamena, Chad. The study was conducted from October 2013 to January 2018 in N'Djamena, Chad. Thus 809 sellers and 455 consumers were surveyed in the public squares of N'Djamena. The results showed a strong presence of women with a proportion of 63.04%. Our study showed that 66.63% of vendors sold in an unclean environment, 61.81% kept their food in pots placed on the floor and 100% of the same vendors did not wear gloves or bucco-nasal masks. The surveyed vendors (92.58%) received no training in hygiene and food technology. The majority (90.99%) of consumers ate their foods with bare hands and 93.33% said they found undesirable elements in foods. Only 23.08% of consumers said there is no risk of food transmitting disease Improving the environmental conditions of the preparation areas and the sales site will prevent foodborne diseases. The competent authorities are called upon to train these sellers but also to implement clear texts with regular monitoring and follow-up plans to improve the hygienic conditions of the latter.
Effects of Milling on the Bran Removal, Nutritional and Cooking Characteristics of Traditional Rice Cultivars
Authors: S Sangita
Published: November 2022

The percentage of bran removed from the rice cultivars in the time interval of 0 to 30s showed sharp slope, but the slope was less after this time duration (30-60s). The rice cultivar Koshkari exhibited the highest percentage of bran removal at each milling interval of 10s due to greater thickness of its rice kernels. The percentage of protein with milling duration depicted negative correlation, which indicated higher protein content could be retained by lowering the time period of milling. The difference in fat percentage with milling time from 0 to 60s was found higher in Mushki Budgi (1.15%) and lowest in Koshkari (0.53%). The carbohydrate content of these rice cultivars at each successive stage of milling were found to increase with Mushki budgi depicted the highest rise in percentage in carbohydrate content (3.61%) after 60s milling. The greater loss in ash content with increasing the degree of milling was found in Mushki budgi (94.73%). The elongation ratio of the experimental rice cultivars were found to increase at each successive stage of milling interval. The increase in solids loss at each milling stage could be due to bursting of the rice kernels upon cooking, as the increase in carbohydrate content at each successive milling stage resulted in greater absorption of water. Keeping in view all the health related benefits associated with brown rice, the research focus on the optimum time required for milling rice, so that the cooking quality of rice kernels would be best along with its nutritional characteristics.

Authors: EI Adeyeye
Published: November 2022

Water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamin contents were determined on both wet and dry bases in the body parts (head, muscle and liver) of Clarias gariepinus fish. Total trend concentrations (mg/100g) were: Fresh liver (FL) (34.5) > Fresh muscle (FM) (23.1) > Fresh head (FH) (18.4) with the dry set as Dry liver (DL) (29.1) > Dry muscle (DM) (21.4) > Dry head (DH) (17.5). Vitamin E was the most concentrated in all the sample parts; vitamin C was least concentrated in the liver; B9 was the least concentrated in muscle and head. Two most varied vitamins in both fresh and dry samples were A and B2; fresh A and B2 had variation values of 173% and 134% respectively; the dry A and B2 had variation values of 173% and 124% respectively. Statistics showed correlation coefficient (rxy) values were significantly different between FL/DL, FM/DM, FH/DH and FT/DT at critical level of r=0.01.
Biomaterial-based transdermal and implantable vaccine delivery systems for cancer immunotherapy
Authors:   , Michue-Seijas Saul
Published: November 2022

Activating the immune system to target cancer cells is one of the most promising and novel therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. It offers the potential for long-term protection and limiting off-target cytotoxicity in healthy tissue, which are some of the major drawbacks in chemotherapy. However, limited patient response and autoimmune adverse effects remain current challenges in cancer immunotherapy. The administration of immunotherapies and combination therapies into the immune cell-rich dermal skin region using biodegradable microneedles or into the tumour resection site using implants could overcome these limitations by stimulating a local and controlled therapeutic response. This thesis presents the development and functionalisation of biomaterial-based microneedles and implantable devices to promote the sustained delivery of a variety of immunomodulatory drugs and anticancer agents into the microenvironment of the tumour aiming to locally modulate the immune response. Specifically, the covalent functionalisation of hyaluronic acid to a clinically investigated IDO inhibitor, 1-methyltryptophan, was explored as well as the development of a variety of immunomodulatory nano- and microparticle systems including: (i) self-assembled hyaluronic acid nanoparticles incorporating the clinically used immune checkpoint inhibitor, anti-PD-L1; (ii) immunostimulatory vaccine functionalised iron oxide nanoparticles, (iii) a Pt(IV) prodrug decorated iron oxide nanoparticle system for immunochemotherapy; and (iv) multimodal biosilica-based constructs showing intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and biosensor applications. The incorporation of some of these systems into microneedles and implantable devices demonstrated gradual drug release under physiological conditions and retention of functional activity in vitro using different murine and human cancer cell models. The experimental results highlight the potential of these microneedles and implants as sustained delivery platforms for enhanced cancer immunotherapy and combination therapy.
Applications of Topological Data Analysis to Statistical Physics and Quantum Field Theories
Authors:   , Sale Nicholas
Published: November 2022

This thesis motivates and examines the use of methods from topological data analysis in detecting and analysing topological features relevant to models from sta-tistical physics and particle physics.In statistical physics, we use persistent homology as an observable of three dif-ferent variants of the two-dimensional XY model in order to identify relevant topo-logical features and study their relation to the phase transitions undergone by each model. We examine models with the classical XY action, a topological lattice action, and an action with an additional nematic term. In particular, we introduce a new way of computing the persistent homology of lattice spin model configurations and demonstrate its use in detecting topological defects called vortices. By considering the fluctuations in the output of logistic regression and k-nearest neighbours mod-els trained on persistence images, we develop a methodology to extract estimates of the critical temperature and the critical exponent of the correlation length. We put particular emphasis on finite-size scaling behaviour and producing estimates with quantifiable error. For each model we successfully identify its phase transition(s) and are able to get an accurate determination of the critical temperatures and critical exponents of the correlation length.In particle physics, we investigate the use of persistent homology as a means to detect and quantitatively describe center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in a gauge-invariant manner. The sensitivity of our method to vortices in the deconfined phase is confirmed by using twisted boundary conditions which inspires the definition of a new phase indicator for the deconfinement phase transition. We also construct a phase indicator without reference to twisted boundary conditions using a k-nearest neighbours classifier. Finite-size scaling analyses of both persistence-based indicators yield accurate estimates of the critical β and critical exponent of correlation length for the deconfinement phase transition. We also use persistent homology to study the stability of vortices under gradient flow and the classification of different vortex surface geometries.

Este artigo objetiva apresentar os principais pontos das Conversações realizadas com um grupo de professoras da Educação Infantil para a pesquisa de mestrado intitulada “Psicanálise e educação: respostas encontradas pelos professores diante das manifestações de sexualidade das crianças na escola”  e discutir as possibilidades de contribuição da psicanálise para a educação, apontando, principalmente, para as respostas que as professoras encontram diante dos impasses relacionados à sexualidade das crianças. Inicialmente foram pontuadas e selecionadas as falas das professoras. Para fundamentar, buscou-se em literatura de Sigmund Freud, sobre a sexualidade infantil e do caráter traumático que tanto reverbera para a criança, quanto para o adulto. Neste sentido foram apontadas algumas contribuições que a psicanálise pode dar à educação com relação à questão da sexualidade. O propósito foi deslocar o foco do mal-estar das professoras, à possibilidade de mitigar as angústias das docentes em lidar com os impasses da sexualidade infantil. Assim, as reflexões a partir das Conversações, percebeu-se que essa estratégia da Psicologia pode contribuir para que as professoras elaborem novas respostas frente a esse tema nevrálgico.
MITO DE ÉDIPO
Authors: Gimenes Roseli , Santos Jorgina Francisca Severino dos
Published: November 2022

Os contos de fada provocam leituras que nos remetem a muitos aspectos mitológicos. Este artigo tem como objetivo a leitura do mito de Édipo em relação aos contos de fada na acepção de Bruno Bettelheim (1988) e de Junito de Souza Brandão (1989). A análise que implica nos impasses do mito nos contos de fada segue concepções do imaginário como proposto pelo registro de Jacques Lacan em o Estádio do Espelho (1995). A metodologia qualitativa implica em análise de alguns contos de fada em confronto a temas em que o mito de Édipo aparece. Os resultados apontam que muitos contos de fada constituem leituras semióticas (SANTAELLA, 2001) do mito edipiano seja nas colocações de busca da origem dos personagens, seja na indicação acerca do destino que os rodeia. É possível concluir que a relação entre o mito de Édipo e os contos de fada é constante e revela impasses do destino.

Published: November 2022

Fish crackers have a short shelf life due to rancidity produced by oxidation damage. This study aims to determine the shelf life of fish crackers using the total oxidation number (Totox) approach. The shelf life test was carried out using the accelerated shelf-life test (ASLT) technique following the Arrhenius model. The experiment was carried out using stratified storage temperatures ranging from 25 °C, 35 °C, and 45 °C for 15 days to follow the level of oxidation damage through Totox numbers. The results of this study indicate that the ASLT technique can be used to predict the shelf life of fish crackers whose core damage is due to oxidation reactions. The prediction of the shelf life based on the Totox number is 118 days; for that, it is recommended to consume Palembang fish crackers below that time.

ada beberapa persoalan yang timbul dan berdampak terhadap UU Jaminan Fidusia pasca Putusan Mahkamah Konsttitusi Nomor : 18/PUU-XVII/2019 tentang Jaminan Fidusia :Terhadap putusan Mahkamah Konsttitusi Nomor : 18/PUU-XVII/2019 tentang Jaminan Fidusia tidak menjelaskan secara detail pengertian Fiat Eksekusi seperti yang dimaksud didalam Pasal 15 ayat (2) “Sertifikat Jaminan Fidusia sebagaimana dimaksud dalam ayat (1) mempunyai kekuatan eksekutorial yang sama dengan putusan pengadilan yang telah memperoleh kekuatan hukum tetap”; dan pengertian parate eksekusi seperti yang dimaksud oleh Pasal 15 ayat (3) “Apabila debitur cidera janji Penerima Fidusia mempunyai hak untuk menjual Benda yang menjadi objek Jaminan Fidusia atas kekuasaannya sendiri”Berdasarkan Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi tersebut, maka kekhususan dan keistimewaan UU Jaminan Fidusia menjadi kabur dan seolah sama dengan perjanjian pada umumnya yang berlaku, padahal kekhusan UU Jaminan Fidusia tersebut untuk memberikan jaminan atas tagihan kreditur terhadap debitur atau dengan kata lain menjamin hutang debitur terhadap kreditur dan Undang-Undang Jaminan Fidusia disamping memberikan perlindungan kepada debitur pemberi fidusia, juga bermaksud untuk memberikan kedudukan yang kuat bagi kreditur sehingga memberikan kepastian hukum bagi kreditur jika debitur cedera janji.Terhadap pengertian Cedera janji yang diartikan oleh Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi setelah adanya atau berjalannya perjanjian, tentu hal ini membingungkan bagi kreditur, sebab cedera janji tersebut telah diatur didalam akta perjanjian fidusia kapan dan kondisi bagaimana cedera janji tersebut terjadi dan bukan diakhir dari perjanjian tersebut, untuk itu pengertian cedera janji tersebut perlu dirumuskan lagi oleh debitur dan kreditur didalam akta perjanjiannya.

Published: November 2022

Assessing writing performance commits bias due to interaction between raters and criteria because raters can score more consistently or harshly on  some criterions. Therefore I explored how the seven raters assessed three essays in order to seek their bias in their rating task, how their background effect (having teaching writing experience & length of teaching writing) their scoring, and how their perception understanding the scoring rubric. The instruments were three essays, analytical writing rubric, questionairres of raters’ background and perception. I applied Two-Way Anova, One-Way Anova and Hoyt’s Anova to measure the raters’ bias, background and perception in awarding score of writing performance. The raters’ scoring criteria of  Content, Organization and Vocabulay  (0.195, 0.511, 0.545 )  were respectively found bias. Based on the raters’ background of having experience of teaching writing, the scoring criteria of Mechanics was bias (0.026  0.050). But the length of teaching writing experience did not affect   the scoring criteria of Content, Organization, Vocabulary, Language Use and Mechanics, in term of no bias (0.705, 0.663, 0.171, 0.206, 0.090 ≥ 0.050). Based on the raters’ perception questionnaire, they were familiar with the instrument of writing rubric prior to this reseach and agreed that the rubric help them to discriminate among the different score level. They also considered that the rangefinders in the rubric were usefull tools to asign score, and the writing rubric measured some essential elements for effectively teaching and learning writing. They assumed  the rubric could be used as a professional development tool to support teaching and learning writing, and finally they  were confident in their ability to score using the rubric.

Published: November 2022

The natural resources of national parks in the United States are mainly divided into eight categories: biological resources, fire resources, water resources, air resources, geological resources, soundscape, lighting, chemicals and odors. The management procedures set by the National Park Administration include the formulation of natural resource management planning, the preservation and publication of natural resource information, the assessment of the impact of natural resources, the establishment of the extensive cooperative relations, the promotion of the restoration of natural ecosystems and the establishment of natural resources damage compensation system etc. Different management principles and methods are adopted for different types of natural resources. The “application–review–evaluation–permission” procedure for the development and utilization of natural resources is established and strictly implemented. However, there are also some problems, such as insufficient coverage of natural resources, dislocation of unified management and decentralized management, and serious shortage of financial investment. China’s national parks should clearly define the types of natural resources, gradually expand the pilot scope of natural resource asset management system, establish and improve the natural resource management system, highlight the integrity of ecosystem, adhere to management according to law, and strengthen the control of land and space use.
Farmers’ perceptions of the degradation of natural resources in lowlands in the Sudano-Sahelian zone: The case of the Nakanbé-Dem sub-watershed in Burkina Faso

The Burkinabe Sahel is characterized by a strong degradation of natural resources. This regression is attributable to natural and anthropogenic factors. The present study concerns the lowlands of the Nakanbé-Dem sub-watershed located in the southern limit of the Sahel. In this area dominated by rain-fed agriculture and extensive livestock farming, wetlands are of paramount importance. In the face of their continued degradation, community participation is necessary for the sustainable management of the lowlands. This study analyzes endogenous indicators of inland valley degradation in the Sudano-Sahelian zone. Semi-structured survey data were collected from 325 farmers in six lowlands. Descriptive statistics and correspondence factor analysis (CFA) was applied. The results show that farmers clearly perceive the degradation of the islands. Farmers use meteorological, floristic, and physical elements to characterize the state of degradation of the islands. The disappearance of several species and the appearance of ubiquitous species allow them to assess the degradation of inland valley lands. These endogenous indicators vary according to gender and education level. The study highlighted the importance of endogenous knowledge in the analysis of inland valley degradation. It suggests the need to take it into account in the implementation of restoration techniques for degraded inland valleys.
