L’efficacité de la guérison à distance par l’intermédiaire de la prière d’intercession sur la santé physique et psychique ? Une revue de questions
Authors: Berghmans Claude
Published: February 2022

La guérison à distance par l’intermédiaire de la prière d’intercession s’inscrivant comme un des premiers axes thérapeutiques en santé mentale suscite un intérêt grandissant dans le champ de la communauté scientifique. La question de son efficacité se pose. S’agit-il de l’impact de nos croyances et attentes de guérison, soit d’un effet placebo sur notre santé, ou y a-t-il un processus de transmission thérapeutique inconnu de la science actuelle se basant sur des transferts d’énergie ou faisant appel à des interventions d’ordre spirituel. L’objet de cet article est de tenter de faire le point sur cette question par l’intermédiaire d’une revue de littérature précise sur ce sujet regroupant 26 études contrôlées et randomisées depuis 1997 à aujourd’hui. Les résultats font état de 16 études ne montrant pas d’efficacité de la prière, et de 9 études soulignant des résultats intéressants dans lesquelles pour 7 études, les patients étaient au courant de la démarche d’aide soulignant ainsi les effets de l’attente de guérison. En conclusion, ce type de travaux fait état de limites méthodologiques très importantes de différentes natures montrant qu’il faut revoir intégralement ce type d’étude de cette approche de soin si l’on veut avoir une vue scientifique rigoureuse de son efficacité thérapeutique. De ce fait, des travaux supplémentaires sont impérativement nécessaires mettant en avant des protocoles d’approches nouveaux et plus précis.
Médecines Complémentaires et Alternatives (MCA) : proposition d’une définition et d’une catégorisation de références
Authors: Suissa Véronique , Guérin Serge , Denormandie Philippe , Castillo Marie-Carmen , Bioy Antoine
Published: February 2022

Objet : Cet article vise à proposer une définition et une catégorisation des médecines complémentaires et alternatives (MCA). En effet, l’absence de critères précis de définition limite la compréhension de ce mouvement hétérodoxe et des pratiques qui en sont issues. Objectifs : Ce travail répond à un objectif triptyque visant à apporter des repères, à la fois aux usagers, aux professionnels de santé tout en proposant un référentiel commun pour la recherche. Méthode et matériel : L’élaboration de la définition s’est appuyée sur l’analyse de 62 publications francophones issues des sciences médicales et pharmacologiques, des sciences humaines et sociales ainsi que des sciences politiques et juridiques. La mise en œuvre de la catégorisation a reposé sur l’analyse de 9 classifications nationales et internationales. Après avoir synthétisé l’ensemble des corpus, nous avons procédé à une analyse critique permettant de mettre en lumière les lignes de force et les limites des différentes définitions et classifications. Nous avons ensuite répertorié les principaux éléments structurants des MCA permettant de les conceptualiser (définition) et de les délimiter (catégorisation). Résultats : L’analyse des publications apporte des repères théoriques structurants mais pointe la logique de segmentation des approches conceptuelles et le cloisonnement de la pensée qui en découle. L’analyse des classifications montre une tentative utile d’objectivation de ces recours mais révèle la difficulté d’établir une délimitation hermétique des pratiques. Conclusion : La définition et la catégorisation proposées constituent deux outils utiles pour les usagers, les soignants et les chercheurs, contribuant ainsi à la structuration de ce champ.
Gérer face à l’inconnu : contrôle et résilience des organisations à l’épreuve d’une pandémie
Authors: Naro Gérald , Villesèque-Dubus Fabienne
Published: February 2022

La crise de la pandémie COVID 19 a révélé l’extrême vulnérabilité des organisations dans un contexte d’incertitude radicale au sens de Knight (1921). La problématique va dès lors porter sur la gestion dans l’inconnu et, dans cette perspective, les paradigmes qui fondent le contrôle de gestion, fondés sur un modèle de rationalité fins-moyens, doivent laisser la place à une vision pragmatiste. Face à la crise sanitaire, la question qui s’est posée est celle d’un contrôle de gestion garantissant la maîtrise de l’organisation en situation d’incertitude radicale, assurant à la fois la flexibilité et la résilience de l’organisation, face aux chocs de l’inconnu.
Covid-19 et aménagements du droit du travail des entreprises en difficulté
Authors: Donnette-Boissière Anaëlle
Published: February 2022

Les règles du droit du travail comme les règles du droit des entreprises en difficulté ne pouvaient pas échapper aux adaptations législatives de crise. Nombreuses sont donc les dispositions du droit du travail applicables aux entreprises en difficulté à avoir été adaptées au contexte de crise sanitaire. Certains aménagements ont pour objectif la sauvegarde des entreprises et des emplois tandis que d’autres sont au service d’une garantie du paiement des créances salariales.
The Located Subject of Thought: Hobbes, Descartes, More
Authors: Schmaltz Tad M.
Published: February 2022

Hobbes s’est opposé à Descartes en affirmant que l’on doit inférer du cogito que le sujet de la pensée est matériel. Le présent article commence par examiner cet argument fameux. Selon une interprétation courante, l’argument repose sur la théorie des idées de Hobbes. Cependant, cette interprétation a été contestée dans la littérature récente. Un examen de ce débat nous conduit à examiner un autre argument selon lequel tout sujet doit être localisé dans l’univers au moyen de son extension. Ce nouvel argument sert à relier les vues de Hobbes à celles de son critique, Henry More, qui, à leur tour, sont pertinentes pour comprendre son échange avec Descartes sur la question de savoir si les esprits sont étendus. En examinant cet échange ici, nous nous proposons de confronter Descartes au matérialisme de Hobbes à un niveau plus profond que ne le permet leur discussion initiale sur le cogito .
L’idée d’un sens commun à tous. Descartes et Herbert de Cherbury
Authors: Rouquayrol Louis
Published: February 2022

Le De Veritate de Herbert de Cherbury (1624) et son idée d’un « consentement universel » ont fait l’objet, au xvii e  siècle, d’une importante discussion. Après avoir examiné la critique, d’inspiration sceptique, voyant dans toute tentative de passer outre la diversité de l’« opinion commune » une forme d’intolérance épistémique, sont restituées les grandes décisions qui, dans le De Veritate , justifient le recours au consentement universel. Enfin, on montre que Descartes, ne trouvant pas chez Herbert de critère suffisant pour distinguer une « notion commune » d’une erreur universellement partagée, substitue la « lumière naturelle » au consentement universel et l’idée d’un « sens commun à tous » à la tyrannie d’une opinion particulière se donnant l’allure de l’universel.
La question de la grâce dans la philosophie morale de David Hume
Authors: Lelong Frédéric
Published: February 2022

Ce texte a pour objet de montrer que le concept de grâce joue dans la philosophie de Hume un rôle important qui est lié à l’explication théorique de l’amour et à la question de l’aisance dans le comportement. Non seulement l’expérience du « je ne sais quoi » corrobore la théorie humienne des passions, mais l’étude de la notion d’aisance montre que la grâce ne se réduit pas à une qualité parmi d’autres, isolée et mineure, mais constitue une manière d’être plus générale qui avive notre idée du mérite d’autrui, renforce notre sentiment moral, et permet de relier la dynamique de l’accoutumance à la communication sociale de la sympathie.
Deleuze et le problème de la bêtise
Authors: Cherniavsky Axel
Published: February 2022

La philosophie « sert à nuire à la bêtise », écrit Deleuze en 1962. Huit ans plus tard, dans Différence et Répétition , après avoir défini la bêtise de plusieurs manières différentes, il l’évoque pourtant comme « la source du plus haut pouvoir » de la pensée. Le but de cet article est de reconstruire l’unité et la compatibilité de ces diverses formules, notamment à partir du chapitre 3 de Différence et Répétition . On s’intéresse d’abord à l’objet central de ce chapitre, « l’image dogmatique de la pensée ». On s’interroge ensuite sur la variété des définitions de la bêtise, que cette « image dogmatique » prétend ramener à l’erreur. On précise enfin les rapports de la bêtise avec les autres « structures de la pensée » que Deleuze mentionne au titre des « négatifs » de la pensée. La relation entre la pensée philosophique et la bêtise est destinée à rester aussi étroite que tendue : la question est finalement celle du rôle qu’y joue « l’image de la pensée » elle-même.
D’Angora à Ankara (1919-1950) : la naissance d’une capitale
Authors: Pérouse Jean-François
Published: February 2022

Cette étude se propose d’analyser – principalement sur la base de sources turques de l’époque – les modalités d’un processus d’aménagement caractérisé par une contradiction permanente entre projet urbain et dynamiques urbaines de facto, durant la période 1919-1950. Pour chaque moment successivement distingué (quatre en tout : 1919-1923, puis 1923-1928, 1928-1938 et enfin 1938-1950) on s’efforce de prendre en compte à la fois le contexte, les acteurs et les expressions concrètes du processus. Au lendemain de la Première Guerre, Ankara est un modeste chef-lieu au cœur de l’Anatolie occidentale, qui ne compte pas plus de 20 000 habitants. Entre 1923, date de la promotion officielle en tant que capitale, et 1928, aucune « politique d’aménagement » cohérente, n’est impulsée. Si le pouvoir municipal est consolidé, le faible degré de coordination entre les parties prenantes (ministères/municipalités/acteurs privés) empêche toute réalisation effective. Les cadres du nouvel État ne trouvent pas à se loger décemment. Face à ce malaise, les autorités se résolvent à organiser en 1927 un « concours international », afin de doter Ankara d’un « plan d’aménagement » général et prospectif. En parallèle est créée en 1928 une « Direction à la Construction de la ville d’Ankara », instance dépendante du ministère de l’Intérieur. La décennie 1930 s’individualise comme celle où, relativement, le volontarisme est le plus net. Mais les moyens engagés restent insuffisants. Dès lors, l’aménagement d’Ankara est peu à peu abandonné aux intérêts privés et catégoriels. En 1950, sur une population officielle de près de 300 000 habitants, la moitié au moins est mal-logée. L’État préfère investir dans des opérations de prestige, alors que la municipalité n’a pas les moyens de faire face en matière d’adduction égalitaire d’eau. Au total, le cas d’Ankara illustre de façon frappante le divorce entre l’urbanisme de projet et l’urbanisation réelle, entre la ville rêvée/planifiée et la ville effectivement produite.
Predicting Student Performance to Improve Academic Advising Using the Random Forest Algorithm
Authors: Nachouki Mirna , Abou Naaj Mahmoud
Published: February 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic constrained higher education institutions to switch to online teaching, which led to major changes in students’ learning behavior, affecting their overall performance. Thus, students’ academic performance needs to be meticulously monitored to help institutions identify students at risk of academic failure, preventing them from dropping out of the program or graduating late. This paper proposes a CGPA Predicting Model (CPM) that detects poor academic performance by predicting their graduation cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The proposed model uses a two-layer process that provides students with an estimated final CGPA, given their progress in second- and third-year courses. This work allows academic advisors to make suitable remedial arrangements to improve students’ academic performance. Through extensive simulations on a data set related to students registered in undergraduate information technology program gathered over the years, we demonstrate that the CPM attains accurate performance predictions compared to benchmark methods.

Published: February 2022

Background:

Lockdown due to corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected physical, mental, social, economic and emotional aspects of life around the globe. People of all age groups, from children to older adults have had to compromise overall life-style by adapting to the changes necessary for preventive and safety measures. Children are also overwhelmed due to changes in routine, occupation, leisure activities, and social participation. These have added to the psychosocial stressors of parents and caregivers and have influenced their quality of life (QOL) and occupational balance (OB).

Objective:

The aim of the study was to investigate QOL and OB among Indian parents of children below 16 years during COVID-19 lockdown. The secondary objective was to examine the relationship between QOL and OB as well as explored the level of QOL and OB among parents during COVID-19 lockdown.

Study Design:

An online based cross-sectional survey was conducted through different social media platforms.

Methods:

Parents (N = 277: n = 116 male and n = 161 female) of children below 16 years of age from different parts of India who were able to understand English language, filled an online questionnaire that assessed their QOL by World Health Organization QOL Short form (WHOQOL-Bref) and OB by OB Questionnaire (OBQ). Parents were recruited by a snow ball sampling method.

Results:

Results showed that the majority of the parents were having good self-rated WHOQOL-Bref and OBQ scores. Various socio-demographic variables including family structure, educational status, employment status and number of children did not influence OB and QOL of the parents. However, Independent sample “t” test showed a significant association (P = 0.014 and 95% confidence interval [95% CI]:-7.845, 0.902) between age of the parents and OBQ scores. In Karl Pearson correlation analysis, it was also found that the association between scores of OBQ and WHOQOL-Bref was positive with a highly significant (P = 0.001 and [95% CI]: 0.243, 0.465).

Conclusion:

The result of the study showed most of the parents of children below 16 years old were having good QOL and OB during COVID-19 lockdown.

Retain products of conception (RPOC) remains a major concern because its complications are among the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women with postpartum uterus. Every locality should have a documented findings of postpartum uterus predicting retained products of conception. This study was aimed at evaluating the sonographic pattern of RPOC among women attending Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano. The study was prospective, conducted from January 2021 to August 2021. A total of 200 patients referred on the suspicion of RPOC on the basis of history or clinical examination were enrolled in the study. Transabdominal ultrasound with 3.5MHtz transducer was performed in all referred cases. The findings obtained were recorded on data capture sheet. Data was analyzed using SPSS Version 23.0. Mean age of the patients was 21.7 ±6.7 years and the mean gestational age was 11.7 ±4.8 weeks. Most of the patients present with per vaginal bleeding, lower back pain or fever as their clinical history. Sonographic findings of RPOC were mix-echogenic content 106(53%), hypoechoic fluid collection 52(26%) and hyperechoic mass 42 (21%). The correlation between clinical history and sonographic pattern of RPOC shows a significant weak positive correlation (r= 0.15 and p= 0.03). The correlation between RPOC size and gestational age also shows a significant weak positive correlation (r= 0.27 and p= 0.00). Sonography is an accurate tool for diagnosis of retained products of conception, with mixed echogenic content as the most common sonographic pattern RPOC.
Risk assessment of heavy metals bioaccumulation in Clarias gariepinus tissues from Jakara Reservoir, Kano, Nigeria
Authors: Rabiu H.D. , Abubakar M.M. , Mallam I.
Published: February 2022

The risk of heavy metals bioaccumulation in gills and liver of C. gariepinus of Jakara Reservoir, Kano was assessed for period of twelve months (March, 2020 to February, 2021). In situ and in vitro examinations were performed using standard procedures. Sites for sampling were categorized into three as offshore (A), midshore (B) and inshore (C) were chosen based on the impact of varying humans activities within the reservoir. The mean range of physicochemical parameters were water temperature (27.1 – 28.30 °C), Dissolved Oxygen (5.9 – 6.6mg/L), Biological Oxygen Demand (2.4 – 3.7mg/L), transparency (0.9 –1.2m), electrical conductivity (637.1– 1064μS/cm), pH (7.8 – 8.1), and Total Dissolved Solids (433.1–733.8mg/L).Gills had accumulation of Fe, Cr, Cu, Pb and Cd in a concentration graded fashion with Fe being the highest and Cd the lowest in terms of concentration. BAF in liver tissues recorded a decrease in the following sequence: Cu >Cr> Pb > Fe >Cd. Physicochemical parameters, heavy metals bioaccumulation differed significantly (P<0.05) between the sites and seasons with the exception of TDS, EC, turbidity and Cadmium. It can be deduced that fluctuation in water quality parameters and heavy metals concentrations in the reservoir could be attributed to high influx of nutrients due to farming activities among other anthropogenic input. It is hereby recommended that indiscriminate discharge of agro chemicals among other domestic inputs should be minimized in order to curtail degradation of the reservoir in the long run. Relevant authorities should develop strategies to control potential effect of the pollutants on the aquatic biota in the water body.

Published: February 2022

Irradiation Microwave was used in fixation of pigment prints on cotton fabrics with a colour strength parameters comparable with the previous research obtained in case of thermo-fixation procedures. However printing pastes was introduced to the fabric via screen printing methods. The printed fabrics was subjected to irradiation microwave for different periods of time at microwave power. Results of both covered and uncovered ranges from 3.8 to 10.70 and 1.66 to 8.20.Also the effect of irradiation microwave on printed cotton fabrics with yellow pigment for 6 min, for both covered and uncovered ranges from 3.50 to 15.52 and 5.20 to 16.80, likewise fastness properties of the cotton fabrics printed with yellow pigment fixed either by optimum conditions for irradiation microwave for both washing and rubbing which ranges from 4/5 for colour change(cc) and for colour staining(cs) which is 4. In order to compare the initial result, another samples of cotton fabrics were printed with the same paste, dried and subjected to fixation procedure. The colour strength of the printed cotton fabrics fixed through irradiation microwave was found to be time and microwave power dependent. Results of this investigation clarified also that, regardless of the time of microwave, covering the pigment printed cotton fabric samples with covered and uncovered sample. Furthermore, the influence of reduction of the particle size of pigment yellow colour to the nano-scale on the colour strength and overall fastness properties of cotton fabrics printed and fixed using irradiation microwave was determined.

Published: February 2022

Flood in Auyo and Miga local government areas is worrisome. The location of large parts of the study area is lying on the northern bank of Hadejia River, and many communities are at risk of flood hazard. This study is aimed at assessing flood risk factors in the vulnerable communities of Auyo and Miga LGAs, Jigawa State of Nigeria. A sample size of 666 respondents were drawn for self-administered questionnaire, 601 were fully completed. Data collected were analyzed descriptively for Relative importance index (RII). Findings revealed that, the current trend in the frequency of flood was on the increase, and the year 2012 (59%) and 2018 (61%) marked the worst with floods occurring four times. The major causes of flood were heavy rains (with RII of 4.890), overflow of river/stream with RII of 4.866, rainstorm, (with RII of 4.890), long period of rainfall (with RII of 4.805), steep side channels (4.785 of RII) and mystical beliefs (RII of 3.86). Man-made major factors were discovered to include; deforestation (with RII of 4.389) and lack of flood embankment, (RII of 4.316). Others were: poor waste disposal (RII of 3.915), lack of drainage network (with RII of 3.840), and development and infrastructure in flood-prone areas with RII of 3.733. It is recommended that, proper embankment protection and water regulatory outlets should be made available. Delineate flood risk zones before carrying out construction activities, or rather impose resettlement outside the flood prone areas.
Geo-spatial Classification of Vulnerability Zones using Lithological, Elevation and Geoelectric Parameters in a Typical Basement Complex Environment
Authors: Olajide O.R. , Adeyemo I.A. , Olaogun S.O.
Published: February 2022

Lithology, elevation and four (4) geoelectric parameters were utilized in assessing the groundwater vulnerability at northwestern part of Akure, southwestern Nigeria. Vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique of electrical resistivity method was adopted for this work. A total of 224 VES data was acquired and interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively. Three to five geo-electric layers were delineated across the area which corresponds to four geologic layers. The resistivity of the layers varies respectively from 6.9 - 550 Ohm-m, 60 - 2500 Ohm-m, 20 - 650 Ohm-m and 220 - 7900 Ohm-m in the topsoil, weathered layer, partially weathered basement/partially fractured basement and presumed fresh basement. Likewise, the layer thicknesses also vary respectively from 0.4 - 4.0 m, 0.7 - 19.0 m and 4.0 -60 m in the topsoil, weathered layer and partially weathered basement/partially fractured basement. The results were presented as topsoil (resistivity and thickness) and weathered layer (resistivity and thickness) maps. The six parameters consisting of lithology, elevation, topsoil (resistivity and thickness) and weathered layer (resistivity and thickness) were synthesized using an additive model in order to generate the aquifer vulnerability model map. The aquifer vulnerability model map shows that the area is of very low to moderate vulnerability with 5% of the area having very low vulnerability, 30% low vulnerability and 65% moderate vulnerability. This implies that the groundwater resources in the area are moderately safe.

Cleavage of erythrocyte surface sialic acid (SA) by the sialidase produced by trypanosomes is implicated in the pathogenesis of anaemia in African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT). Sialyltransferase (ST) mediates the attachment of SA to cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids of desialylated erythrocytes. ST activities in Trypanosoma congolense-infected sheep and control groups were investigated and variations in their physio-biochemical properties were evaluated. Six (6) apparently healthy Nigerian Yankassa breed of sheep comprising of T. congolense-infected (n=3) and non-infected (n=3) groups were used for the experiment. Parasitaemia and packed cell volume (PCV) were determined daily over a 5-week period. Enzyme kinetics of partially purified ST from the thyroid gland were also evaluated. Anaemia (mean PCV= 18.83±0.71%) was observed in the T. congolense-infected sheep when compared with the non-infected control group (mean PCV 39.75±0.35%) and the observed differences were significant (p < 0.05) after five weeks post infection. Variations were also observed in the physio-biochemical properties (pH, temperature, activation energy) of the ST isolated from the T. congolense-infected and control sheep. This finding is believed to have been an induced response by the host to parasite’s activity and could be exploited further as a possible target in the control of AAT.

OBJETIVO: contribuir con la formación de los docentes de las escuelas del municipio de Agua Blanca, Jutiapa sobre el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH). MÉTODO: se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo cuantitativo con los docentes del municipio de Agua Blanca Jutiapa, siendo la muestra de 132 docentes.  RESULTADOS: el estudio indica que los docentes no tienen capacitaciones sobre el tema de neurodesarrollo.  Sobre trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad, el 34.8% de docentes han recibido una capacitación anual.  Esto indica que los docentes no tienen el conocimiento específico para el abordaje de este trastorno en el aula. CONCLUSIÓN: los docentes tienen noción sobre TDAH, pero es necesario mayor formación, con el objetivo de discernir este trastorno del neurodesarrollo y referir a los alumnos con sospecha de TDAH con profesionales especializados. No cuentan con equipo multidisciplinario para la atención y seguimiento adecuado en casos de estudiantes con TDAH. Sin embargo, al tener solo conocimiento general de TDAH es difícil determinar si las estrategias de abordaje básicas para su apoyo son tomadas en cuenta en dichas adecuaciones.

Authors: Ilia Iosif , Rad Dana , Dughi Tiberiu , Egerau Anca , Demeter Edgar , Rad Gavril
Published: February 2022

Many individuals become aggressive in reaction to an actual or potential danger, or it can be a learned behaviour that assists them in meeting their needs. Anger is a natural emotion that everyone feels at different moments. It is, in effect, a normal reaction to a challenge, assisting us in preparing for defence or standing up for ourselves It usually occurs as a response to thoughts or feelings such as pain, irritation, worry, envy, discomfort, rejection, or shame. The purpose of this investigation is to examine effects of trait anger (AN) and aggressiveness (AG) on life satisfaction (LS) of general adult population, as well as to determine whether trait anger (AN) moderates the mediating effect of aggressiveness (AG) in the schadenfreude (SCH) – life satisfaction (LS) relationship. 390 individuals responded to an online investigation, selected via convenience sampling. Trait anger was found to moderate the effect of schadenfreude and life satisfaction. Increased levels of aggressiveness were linked to low levels of life satisfaction. Conditional effects found a stronger association between schadenfreude and aggressiveness for those low in trait anger relative to those high in trait anger. Participants with low scores in trait anger and high scores in schadenfreude had higher levels of aggressiveness than individuals with lows cores in trait anger. Conclusions and implications are discussed.

Published: February 2022

The strategic geographical constellation on the one hand, can bring benefits to Indonesia, but on the other hand, this position is very vulnerable to threats, both military threats from foreign countries and non-military threats in the form of crimes or illegal activities. Meanwhile, accelerated globalization with technological advances, especially information technology, makes it seem as if there are no boundaries between countries. The rise of transnational crimes in Indonesia, of course, has implications for national defense. Therefore, a comprehensive and integrated effort is needed to minimize the occurrence of transnational crimes at Indonesia's maritime borders, especially in Tanjung Balai Asahan, Medan, North Sumatra Province. It is proven by the increasing trend in the number of transnational crime rates that continue to increase from year to year and it is made worse by the involvement of the community and unscrupulous security forces that choose shortcuts to seek profit by carrying out these illegal actions as happened in several research taken. From the results of the analysis, it was found that 4 types of crime dominate in the Tanjung Balai area, they are smuggling of illegal goods, Drugs, Human trafficking, and People smuggling. Moreover, the weaknesses that made the crimes happened can be categorized as the lack in communication, resources, disposition, and Bureaucratic structure.

This study aimed to reveal the essence of the rulings concerning guardianship in Islamic marriages through the construction and deconstruction of the perspectives of the Indonesian Family Law Lecturers Association (Asosiasi Dosen Hukum Keluarga Islam or ADHKI, Ind.) and the Indonesian Islamic Marriage Registrar Association (Asosiasi Penghulu Republik Indonesia or APRI, Ind.) based on the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) of reciprocity. The underlying background was various cases of neglect of girls that lead to problems when they become adults and need guardians in their marriages. In such a situation, the main construction of the parents' responsibilities is closely related to the right to be the daughters' guardians: does it belong to the parents or to those who have been carrying out the responsibility of taking care of the daughters? This study, based on a qualitative method with a multi-site study basis and the formulation of the fiqh of reciprocity, was expected to spawn new opportunities in Islamic legal ijtihad regarding guardianship in marriage. This comprehensive and in-depth study found that 1) the construction of the guardianship of adopted children in the perspectives of APRI and ADHKI means that the essence of guardianship is to fulfill the needs and bear the lives of the children under the guardianship and 2) based on the point of views of APRI and ADHKI, the deconstruction in the concept of guardianship of adopted children by adoptive parents or those who become protectors of the children is based on a reinterpretation of the shari'ah texts, which show that guardianship must be of those who have nasab (lineage) paths or wali hakim (a Muslim judge as the marriage guardian), using a sociological approach, human rights, and the embodiment of justice (maslahah).

Published: February 2022

The legislative principles that govern Romanian education, such as ensuring equal opportunities and social inclusion and focusing education on its beneficiaries, are tested by the real-life situation of Roma children and young people. The pandemic has put pressure on the educational system. The closure of schools from March 2020 and the forced transfer of teaching activities to an online format are increasing the problems faced by Roma children and young people, in many cases blocking their access to education due to technological constraints. Family support is essential for primary school students and particularly in the case of digital learning. Many Roma families are not interested in spending money on education, especially if, in addition, they are losing income that older children bring home. For educators, Dewey’s (1944) prediction has come true: ‘If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow’ (p.167). For Roma students, digital education means no education as teachers are unable to connect with them. In Romanian schools today, the curriculum contains a vast amount of information but is not correlated with students’ ability to understand the sheer volume of knowledge taught and the purpose it serves. According to the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment’s (PISA’s) 2018 results, 41% of Romanian students are functionally illiterate (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2018). According to the results of a study based on an online questionnaire, which presupposes a degree of digital literacy, in 2020 32% of young people enrolled in pre-university education did not have exclusive individual access to a functional device (desktop, laptop, tablet); despite that online application supposed, also, that some of the family members have digital abilities. (Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy [RIES], 2020) Through our study, we aim to reveal the series of current problems faced by the Roma ethnic group when attempting to access the educational system, presenting the perspectives of both educators and learners.

This study aims to explore the citation patterns of information management graduates' MPhil and Ph.D. theses submitted at the University of the Punjab, Lahore-Pakistan. It examined their core cited information sources in terms of gender, class, year-wise distribution of citations, the average number of citations, and authorship patterns in their citations. It identified the list of core cited information sources with several citations used by research graduates. Citation analysis technique was used to determine the core cited information sources in 71 theses (60 MPhil and 11 Ph.D.) submitted to the Institute of Information Management (IIM), University of the Punjab (PU), Lahore, during the period of one decade 2008-2017. All 7013 identified references were examined and categorized in journals, books and books chapters, web-pages, theses, conference proceedings, reports, and newspapers. Findings showed that both male and female MPhil/Ph.D. graduates frequently consulted and cited periodical literature i.e. journals (58.71%) followed by books and book chapters (20.72%). On an average MPhil graduates cited 80.85 sources and Ph.D. graduates cited 196.55 sources in writing up their theses. The authorship pattern of the citations showed the highest number of citations from single-authored work. Data revealed that information behavior was the favorite area among research graduates. Bradford's law of dispersion was applied to determine the list of most-cited journals and books. This study would be helpful for information professionals to understand the information needs of their patrons and to make informed decisions for building demand-driven collections. The findings of the study may apply to other LIS schools in the developing world with similar contexts.

Authors: AKBAŞ Nurcan , TANER Bahar
Published: February 2022

Tarihçiler tarafından derlenen ve anlatılan tarih yönetim ile ilgili belli bir yargıya varmamızı sağlamaktadır. Yazılı tarihte erkekler öznedir, yönetendir ve erkek krallar, kumandanlar, kahramanlar, peygamberler ve bilim adamlarının medeniyetleri, dinleri ve çeşitli disiplinleri geliştirmesiyle günümüzdeki çağdaş toplumlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu tarihte kadınlar görünmez, nesnel, yönetilen veya marjinal gruplar olarak yer almaktadırlar. Aydınlanma çağı sonrasında ortaya çıkan kadın hareketleri ve feminizm ile başlayan kadın tarihi çalışmaları yazılı tarihte kadını görünür kılma çabası içindedir. Kapsamlı bir literatür taramasına dayalı olan araştırmanın yanıt aradığı temel soru “Kadınlar erkekler tarafından eşit tür olarak kabul edilselerdi, kadınların yetenekleri ve yönetim becerileri objektif olarak değerlendirilmiş olsaydı, karşımıza kadının görünürlüğü açısından nasıl bir yazılı tarih çıkardı?” şeklindedir. Araştırmanın temel sorusu ekseninde yanıt aranan diğer sorular ise “Kadın yaşamına yönelik tarihsel gerçekler nelerdir?”, “Yönetim ve iktidar ilişkilerinde kadınlar yazılı tarihteki görünmezlikleri ile nasıl mücadele etmişlerdir?”, “Kadın tarihi nasıl ortaya çıkmıştır?” ve “Tarihin yazılmasında kadınların yaşamına ilişkin tüm tarihsel gerçeklere yer verilse idi, nasıl bir yönetim ve dünya tarihi ortaya çıkardı?” şeklindedir.
Aphid seasonality and host plant relationship: A Review
Authors: Sahoo Debkumar , Mandal Biplab , Ghorai Sudipta Kumar
Published: February 2022

Aphids are harmful agricultural insect pests that feed on the phloem sap of their hosts, infecting them with diseases. Plant-aphid interaction is a dynamic system that is always changing and varying. During their life cycle, several aphid species change their host plant. They travel between main and secondary host plant species in the spring and fall. This host shift has happened due to the phloem sap's nutritional importance and necessity for reproduction. According to certain experiments, the aphid parasitism impact reduces the number of inflorescences and the average weight of floral buds. With the aid of enzymatic adaptability and sequestering secondary metabolites, the host plant possesses biochemical and physical defence mechanisms. Aphids circumvent this by secreting Mixed Function Oxidase (MFO), which catalyses oxidative reactions, allowing them to eat, develop, and breed on their host plant.
