Accessibilité et qualité de l’eau dans la commune de Mboro (Sénégal) : étude exploratoire
Authors: NDIAYE ET AL Cheikh
Published: March 2024

In a context of demographic growth in coastal areas, access to drinking water remains a major challenge. The aim of this work is to contribute to the study of the population's perception of the accessibility and quality of water, as well as the hydro-chemical characterisation of water samples from the commune of Mboro. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 150 households out of 3,455 for the perception survey. Two borehole water samples (MBORO F1 and MBORO F2), one from a traditional well (PUITS TRAD) and one from a pond (THI) were analysed using volumetric, electrothermal and spectrophotometric methods. The results show that the pH values of the water samples comply with WHO standards, and that the conductivity values and chloride, sodium, sulphate, magnesium, calcium, bicarbonate and potassium levels are below the regulatory thresholds. However, the PUITS TRAD (185.7 mg/l) and THI (117.5 mg/l) samples had nitrate concentrations above the guide value (50 mg/l). The iron content of the PUITS TRAD and THI samples is equal to the guide value (0.2 mg/l). The survey on the supply of drinking water revealed that 67% of households have domestic taps, 4% use standpipes, 16% draw water from their neighbours and 13% of the population use water from wells. 77% of the population say they have easy access to a water source. However, 47% of households are not satisfied with the management and operation of the commune's water facilities. This work shows that the commune of Mboro is facing difficulties in supplying quality water. Concerted, sustainable action is therefore needed to improve the situation for the local population.

Published: March 2024

To investigate the relationship between stress resilience and immune system functionality, emphasizing the psychological mechanisms that contribute to immune regulation and the potential for resilience-building interventions to enhance immune responses. This comprehensive review synthesizes existing research from psychological, immunological, and epidemiological studies. It examines the impact of acute and chronic stress on immune function, explores the role of psychological resilience as a mediator, and evaluates the effectiveness of various stress management and resilience-building strategies.

It examines both individual-level interventions, such as emotional intelligence training and stress management techniques, and organizational-level initiatives, including work environment improvements and policy changes. The review highlights that a combination of individual and organizational interventions is crucial for building resilience among health professionals. Key findings suggest that strategies focusing on enhancing emotional intelligence, promoting work-life balance, and creating a supportive work environment are effective in mitigating burnout. Furthermore, the importance of adaptive coping mechanisms and social support systems is emphasized. Building resilience in healthcare professionals is a multifaceted endeavor that requires both individual efforts and organizational support. The article concludes that implementing comprehensive, evidence-based interventions can significantly prevent burnout, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes and improved patient care. Future research should aim to address gaps in the current literature, particularly in assessing the long-term effectiveness of these interventions across diverse healthcare contexts.

The present study aimed to validate the conceptual model of educational counseling based on Dawis' Work Adjustment Theory and to examine its effectiveness on the motivation and psychological capital of university entrance exam students. This research was a mixed-methods study, where the qualitative part utilized conceptual modeling based on content analysis according to the conventional design method, with texts as its instrument. The results of this part indicated that among the concepts of this theory, personality styles containing four dimensions: speed, effort, persistence, and response pattern, were identified as the best concepts for educational counseling. These concepts were selected from this theory, and the conceptual model of educational counseling based on Dawis' Work Adjustment Theory was extracted. The quantitative part was a quasi-experimental or pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of 32 female students in the twelfth grade selected by convenience sampling from a high school in Najafabad and then non-randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received an educational package in 8 sessions of 90 minutes each. The research instruments included Harter's Academic Motivation (1981) and Luthans' Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) (2007). Both groups were evaluated in three stages: pretest, posttest, and follow-up. Descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (analysis of covariance) statistics were used to examine and analyze the data. The results showed that this method was effective in improving motivation and psychological capital. From the qualitative part, the conceptual model of educational counseling based on Dawis' Work Adjustment Theory was extracted. According to the findings of this study, it can be said that the conceptual model of educational counseling based on Dawis' Work Adjustment Theory is a suitable method for increasing the motivation and psychological capital of university entrance exam students.

It presents evidence on the positive impact of technology-based interventions in improving maternal mentalization capabilities, underscoring technology's role in promoting psychosocial well-being and supporting early child development. However, the article also acknowledges challenges such as managing child and adolescent mental health problems, the need for empirical research in child maltreatment decision-making, and enhancing awareness of forensic odontology among dental practitioners. In conclusion, the authors call for an integrated approach that includes technology-based solutions for a comprehensive support system for child development. They advocate for further research and development of technology-based interventions, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the active role of practitioners in early learning to ensure optimal child development outcomes. Additionally, the article highlights the crucial role of policymakers in incorporating technology-based assessments and interventions into child development programs to foster holistic development in the African context and beyond.
