Background: Unwanted pregnancy is a type of unplanned pregnancy that can endanger health of mother and child. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of unwanted pregnancy and its associated factors and consequences in Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in regions with low, moderate and high risk of maternal death. Two provinces were randomly selected in each region and 24 public health centers in each province during 2007-2012. Thereafter, 15-20 mothers, received at least one session of pregnancy care, were selected from each healthcare center. Data were gathered from both health records and interview with the mothers.
Results: Of 2714 participants, 86.4% and 13.6% had respectively wanted and unwanted pregnancies. The underlying factors of unwanted pregnancy were determined as low distance with previous and next pregnancy, economic problems and have enough children. Moreover, there were significant relationships between unwanted pregnancy and place of residence, mother’s age and education, father’s education, pre-pregnancy care and number of previous pregnancies and children. There were also significant association between unwanted pregnancy and pregnancy care, anemia, exposure to risk factors and disease, intake of folic acid and iron, domestic violence, bitter memories and men’s participation.
Conclusion: Although the prevalence of unwanted pregnancy has had a significant decrease in Iran, these mothers still require a higher level of educational, counseling and supportive services due to their low access to pregnancy care services and high exposure to associated risk factors.

Authors: RANJBAR Reza , ZAYERI Shahin , AFSHAR Davoud
Published: August 2020

Background: Efflux pumps are involved in resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates to antimicrobial agents. AdeABC efflux pump is one of the RND superfamily efflux pump and consists of adeA (membrane fusion), adeB (multidrug transporter) and adeC (outer membrane) genes. In this study, the frequency of adeA, adeB and adeC genes among A. baumannii isolates with resistance to erythromycin, trimethoprim, meropenem and imipenem was investigated.
Methods: Overall, 79 strains of A. baumannii were isolated from patients admitted to two major hospitals in Tehran during 2016. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was determined by disc diffusion and microdilution methods according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. The presence of adeA, adeB and adeC genes was also determined using Multiplex PCR assay.
Results: The highest and the lowest resistance among A. baumannii isolates were to trimethoprim (93%) and erythromycin (53%), respectively. The frequency of adeA, adeB and adeC genes was 96.2%, 96.2% and 91.1 % respectively. There was a significant relationship between imipenem resistance and presence of efflux pump genes (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the high prevalence of the AdeABC efflux system genes, it may involve in resistance of clinical isolates of A. baumannii to imipenem, especially.

INCLUSÃO E EXCLUSÃO DIGITAL EM CONTEXTOS DE PANDEMIA: QUE EDUCAÇÃO ESTAMOS PRATICANDO E PARA QUEM?
Authors: Marcon Karina
Published: August 2020

Em um contexto de pandemia, no Brasil e no mundo, as tecnologias digitais de rede foram sendo adotadas na mediação de processos de ensino-aprendizagem, seja na educação básica ou na educação superior. No cenário brasileiro, dados da Pesquisa TIC Domicílios 2019 (CGI.br, 2019) denunciam que apenas 39% dos domicílios brasileiros possuem computador e que 28% dos domicílios não possuem acesso à internet. Para além do acesso, estudos sobre inclusão digital reforçam a necessidade de se pensar na apropriação social das tecnologias, implicando não somente na instrumentalização e na fluência tecnológica, mas na apropriação crítica, autoral e criativa das tecnologias digitais e no exercício da cidadania na rede. Neste sentido, o que significa ser um excluído digital em um contexto de isolamento social? Que educação estamos praticando e para quem, neste contexto de pandemia?

The article presents a description and scientific substantiation of cytological aspects of confirmation of stages of otitis media with effusion (OME). The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the formation of exudate in the middle ear cavity are presented. The nature of the cellular landscape in accordance with the current stage of the disease is substantiated. Based on the study, cytograms were analyzed that reflect a specific stage of the disease. Each type of cytogram allows you to reliably assess the degree of degenerative changes in the mucous membrane of the tympanic cavity. The proposed cytological study of exudate in OME makes it possible to clearly determine the type of inflammatory process in the tympanic cavity, and also contributes to the final establishment of the stage of the process from the position of morphological and functional classification by N.S. Dmitriev and al. (1996), classification M. Tos (1976). Currently, there is no cytological classification of exudate in OME depending on the stage of the disease, which complicates the clinical and instrumental diagnosis of the features of the disease. The ability to assess the state of local immunity (cytological study of the secret of the middle ear) allows to predict the clinical course of the disease, followed by the optimal choice of personalized tactics of therapeutic measures in hospital and outpatient treatment.
Equality Logic
Authors: Ghorbani Shokoofeh
Published: August 2020

In this paper, we introduce and study a corresponding logic to equality-algebras and obtain some basic properties of this logic. We prove the soundness and completeness of this logic based on equality-algebras and local deduction theorem. We show that this logic is regularly algebraizable with respect to the variety of equality∆-algebras but it is not Fregean. Then we introduce the concept of (prelinear) equality∆-algebras and investigate some related properties. Also, we study ∆-deductive systems of equality∆-algebras. In particular, we prove that every prelinear equality ∆-algebra is a subdirect product of linearly ordered equality∆-algebras. Finally, we construct prelinear equality ∆ logic and prove the soundness and strong completeness of this logic respect to prelinear equality∆-algebras.
Perception of Organizational Politics, Psychological Safety, and Work Efforts of Senior High School Teachers
Authors: Asamani Lebbaeus , Dramanu Bakari Yusuf , Ofosu-Amaah Emilyn
Published: August 2020

Politics is a phenomenon that can be experienced wherever there are more than two people present, and schools or work organizations are no exceptions. This paper focuses on investigating the extent to which Ghanaian Senior High School teachersâ€™ perceptions of organizational politics and psychological safety relate to each other, and how it influences the teachersâ€™ work efforts. A cross-sectional research design was used, which involves 275 teachers conveniently sampled from public senior high schools in the Tamale Municipality of Ghana. Standardized self-report questionnaires were adapted to collect the data, and it was analyzed using standard multiple linear regression. The results indicated that perception of organizational politics is a significant predictor of self-report work efforts of Senior High School teachers, but psychological safety was not. The results further showed that all the three dimensions of politics perception measured in the study significantly predict work efforts. This is with general political behaviour being the most significant predictor. Curiously, psychological safety perception had a significant positive relationship with politics perception. The findings from the current study suggest that perception of workplace politics is a critical determinant of attitude and behaviour of individuals at work, including work efforts. Among others, the paper recommends that pragmatic measures must be put in place to minimize workplace politics and perception ofsame in order to enhance work efforts in the workplace.

Les formes dâ€™organisation industrielle ont Ã©voluÃ© Ã  travers lâ€™histoire pour accompagner les changements des contextes Ã©conomiques et sociaux. Le monde des affaires en connaÃ®t de nos jours bien des variantes allant de lâ€™Ã©cosystÃ¨me dâ€™affaires Ã  la technopole en passant par le milieu innovateur. Afin de mieux saisir le fonctionnement de ces nouvelles formes dâ€™agglomÃ©ration, il est important de revenir sur celle qui en a constituÃ© lâ€™Ã©bauche premiÃ¨re : le district industriel. Ce modÃ¨le organisationnel reposant principalement sur des petites firmes dont la communautÃ© locale constitue la principale force motrice, a su se montrer efficace lÃ  oÃ¹ des modÃ¨les reconnus comme Â« solides Â» notamment la production de masse ont atteint leurs limites. Cette revue de littÃ©rature narrative se base sur une lecture analytique approfondie des publications scientifiques ayant le plus marquÃ© la construction du concept de district industriel, Ã  savoir lâ€™hÃ©ritage de Marshall et les contributions des Ã©conomistes italiens. Il est ainsi question de dÃ©finir le district industriel et de le replacer dansson contexte historique dans un premier temps, puis dâ€™en Ã©tudier les spÃ©cificitÃ©s les plus discutÃ©es dans la littÃ©rature, afin dâ€™en prÃ©senter une introduction scientifique complÃ¨te.
Through history, several organizational forms in the industrial field have been developed to match the economic and social context. Today, many are to be found in the business field such as business ecosystems, technopoles and innovative milieux. To study these recent industrial configurations, it is of crucial importance to take the time to go back to the very first one of them: the industrial district. Be it in times of crises, or well being, these agglomerations of little firms which mainly employ the local community proved its efficiency when other forms failed. The purpose of this paper is to present the industrial district and its main features, starting with Marshallâ€™s legacy and building the conceptâ€™s framework progressively on the contributions of Italian economists. This narrative literature review does not claim to be exhaustive. It is based on the analysis of scientific publications recognized as major milestones of the conceptâ€™s development. These publications have been carefully studied and sorted to define the industrial district and outline its underpinnings.
The Mediating Effect of Technical Efficiency on the Relationship between Revenue Diversification and Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Kenya
Authors: Teimet Paul , Josephat Lishenga , Mwangi Iraya , Duncan Elly
Published: August 2020

Banks generate revenue through the intermediation process and perceive revenue diversification as a possible solution to financial performance challenges. The banksâ€™ income statements attest to this argument with banking activities moving gradually from interest-bearing activities to non-interest-bearing activities. The objectives of this paper were to assess the relationship between revenue diversification and return on assets and establish the mediation effect of technical efficiency on the relationship between revenue diversification and return on assets. The research used unbalanced panel data sourced from forty-two commercial banks spanning 2009 to 2018. The study measured revenue diversification using the Hirschman-Herfindahl index while technical efficiency level was measured using data envelopment analysis. The performance attribute, return on assets was measured as a ratio of earnings before interest and tax over the total assets. The paper assessed the relationships using the panel least square regression guided by the mediation assessment process proposed by Baron and Kenny. The cross-section randomeffects model results revealed a significant positive relationship between revenue diversification and return on assets. Further, results indicated the absence of technical efficiency mediation effect on the relationship between revenue diversification and return on assets. The study recommends policy and regulatory programs that allows banks to diversify in revenue-generating activities as well as initiatives that synchronize technical efficiency in the intermediation process to improve financial performance of commercial banks, especially in emerging economies.
De la thÃ©orie de lâ€™Ã©mission dans une vente Ã distance par correspondance classique Ã la thÃ©orie de la rÃ©ception dans une vente Ã distance Ã©lectronique
Authors: Rahal Hicham
Published: August 2020

La vente Ã  distance entre absents est un concept ancien qui mute face aux nouvelles technologies de lâ€™information. On se demande, si rÃ©ellement il y a une Ã©volution , en droit marocain,du rÃ©gime juridique appliquÃ© dans une vente Ã  distance ( VAD) entre absents (vente par correspondance classique et vente Ã©lectronique utilisant le systÃ¨me de double clic). La mÃ©thodologie utilisÃ©e sâ€™est basÃ©e sur une confrontation entre les deux rÃ©gimes juridiques celui du dahir des obligations et contrats et ceux des lois : loi nÂ° 31-08 relative Ã  la protection du consommateur et loi nÂ° 53-05 relative Ã  lâ€™Ã©change Ã©lectronique de donnÃ©es juridiques, avec une analyse critique dudit cadre juridique marocain. Ilressort de lâ€™Ã©tude que le moment de formation du contrat dans une VAD diffÃ¨re que lâ€™on est face Ã  une VAD par correspondance par lettre classique qui est encadrÃ©e par les articles 23 Ã  32 du DOC de 1913, soit que lâ€™on se trouve face Ã  une VAD dÃ©matÃ©rialisÃ©e utilisant notamment lâ€™outil internet et le systÃ¨me de double clic. Les rÃ©sultats dÃ©gagÃ©s font que dans une VAD par correspondance la doctrine marocaine est unanime Ã  dÃ©fendre la thÃ©orie de lâ€™Ã©mission, alors que pour une vente Ã  distance Ã©lectronique utilisant le systÃ¨me de double clic et sur la base de lâ€™analyse des diffÃ©rentes dispositions juridiques qui encadrent la VAD utilisant des supports Ã©lectroniques, les dispositions vont dans le sens dâ€™adopter la thÃ©orie de la rÃ©ception.
Distance selling among absentees is an ancient concept that is rapidly changing in the face of new information technologies. Questions arise around the doctrinal evolution of Moroccan law in regard to the legal regime applied to distance selling (DS) between absentees (selling through classic mail order and e-sales using the double click system). The methodology used was based on a comparison between the two legal frameworks in place and notably the Dahir which refers to obligations and contracts (DOC) and the laws: Law nÂ° 31-08 relating to consumer protection and Law nÂ° 53-05 relating to the electronic exchange of legal data. This include a critical analysis of the Moroccan legal framework aforementioned. In this study, the moment of the formation of a DS contract differs depending on weather it concerns a classic DS mail order, which is governed by articles 23 to 32 of the DOC of 1913, or a dematerialized DS using the Internet tool and the double-click system. The results show that, in a mail order distance selling, the Moroccan doctrine is unanimous in defending the theory of emission. Nevertheless, for an electronic distance selling using the double-click system and on the basis of the analysis of the various legal framework governing distance selling using electronic media, the provisions lean towards adopting the theory of reception.

Published: August 2020

In the midst of the negative growth of textile and RMG industries, the mother industry of Bangladesh, the denim industry, has been doing its part incessantly. While the prospect of the denim industry looks promising from the last few years, the factors that drive this industry forward remain unanswered. Among the process chain of denim manufacturing, most value addition occurs in denim washing. This paper focuses on identifying and prioritizing the performance criteria of the denim washing sector in particular. In this context, export-oriented denim washing factories are chosen and the identified criteria are evaluated by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study is qualitative in nature and the secondary data about the factors were collected initially through review of previous literature, magazines, books, and newspapers. A structured questionnaire was developed to collect data from 35 factories. The results of the study show that cost, time, quality, and flexibility are the critical factors for success. The findings also seem to be consistent in general in regard to the test results, and it provides insight for improvement in the denim washing industry of Bangladesh.
The Effect of Shocks on the Current and Future Behavior of Sudan Economy: Autoregressive Moving-average Approach
Authors: Ahmed Ahmed Elsheikh M. , Elsheikh Leena Ahmed
Published: August 2020

This paper attempts to achieve two core objectives. Firstly, it aims to synthesize the information contained in the different expenditure components of GDP for developing a set of Autoregressive Moving-Average (ARMA) models to examine the effect of shocks on the current and subsequent cyclical deviations of Sudan real GDP from what is trending. Secondly, it aims to compare the intensity of those cyclical deviations within the reviewed period (1970-2010) and outside it. ARMA models of different orders are experimented to distinguish, empirically, whether the effect of shocks is transient or permanent and lasts for a long period of time. The major result is that the lingering effect of shocks is permanent causing intensified deviation from the trend outside the reviewed period.

En el primer proceso se obtiene mÃ¡s de .90 en cada valor presentado en univocidad y pertinencia; bajo el AnÃ¡lisis Factorial Confirmatorio se agrupan en una sola competencia con los indicadores que muestra el referencial Ã³ptimo (GFI .849) y superior al valor (RMSEA .083) con las medidas de ajuste incremental y de parsimonia, superior al modelo independiente, en conclusiÃ³n, es vÃ¡lida y confiable para el apoyo de la intervenciÃ³n universitaria en poblaciones con discapacidad.
This paper focuses on the initial results of a broader Autonomous University of Chihuahua research, which is related to six teaching competencies that allow the university professor to provide timely response to the process of educational inclusion. It was developed with the validity of the educational competencies model based on â€œCoordinating the inclusive educational interactionâ€ and â€œManaging the improvement in learningâ€ which belongs to a broader research of 10 competencies. The model was proposed through Delphi methodology and validated through nonduality measuring and relevance. It was consolidated through Exploratory Factorial and Validating Analysis. The competency has a purpose of teaching based on real situations that involves the ways of inclusive interaction. This is done on the basis of an educational relationship that is backed up in horizontal communication and generation of learning environments in order to promote collaboration networks. In the first process, more than 0.90 was obtained in each submitted value for nonduality and relevance. Under the Validating Factorial Analysis, they were grouped together under one competency. The indicators, thus, showed the optimal referencial (GFI 0.849) and the value (RMSEA 0.083) through the measurements of incremental and parsimony adjustment, which is above the independent model. This means that it is valid and reliable for supporting university intervention in disabled populations.

Toutefois, Ã  la mort du prÃ©sident FÃ©lix HouphouÃ«t Boigny, la guerre de succession enclenchÃ©e par ses hÃ©ritiers ont attisÃ© des foyers tensions Ã  travers tout le pays. Lâ€™objectif principal de cette Ã©tude est de mettre en Ã©vidence les facteurs de lâ€™Ã©mergence de ces foyers de tension et de les cartographier par la suite. Lâ€™appareillage mÃ©thodologique pour y arriver a fait recours Ã  la revue bibliographique et une enquÃªte de terrain. Les rÃ©sultats obtenus indiquent que si le tribalisme, la religion, la pauvretÃ©, lâ€™analphabÃ©tisme, la densitÃ© et lâ€™extrÃªme jeunesse de la population sont autant de facteurs de lâ€™Ã©mergence des conflits politiques, câ€™est toute la zone sud jusquâ€™au littoral et les rÃ©gions de Êºgrand pontÊº, Tonkpi, Haut-Sassandra, BÃ©lier, GbÃªkÃª, Bafing, Worodougou et Poro qui en constituent les grands foyers.
A former French colony, CÃ´te dâ€˜Ivoire, was considered a prosperous and peaceful country. At the death of President FÃ©lix HouphouÃ«t Boigny, the war of succession initiated by his heirs fueled tensions throughout the country. This paper focuses on highlighting the factors of the emergence of these focal points and in mapping them later. The methodological equipment used to achieve this was the bibliographic review and a field survey. The results obtained indicate that if tribalism, religion, poverty, illiteracy, the density and extreme youth of the population are all factors of the emergence of political conflicts, then the whole southern zone up to the coast and the regions of ÊºGrand PontÊº, Tonkpi, ÊºHaut-SassandraÊº, BÃ©lier, GbÃªkÃª, Bafing, Worodougou, and Poro are the major centres.
Les CitÃ©s Maudites Selon le Coran : Un Rude ChÃ¢timent

Cet article Ã©tudie profondÃ©ment les diffÃ©rents types de lâ€™iniquitÃ© dans les citÃ©s maudites selon le texte coranique : idolÃ¢trie, ignorance, corruption, immobilisme et turpitude. Les EnvoyÃ©s qui visaient la reforme suivirent un long processus dâ€™argumentations et de preuves logiques en validant un principe selon lequel la corruption conduit Ã  la destruction. Le principe de Â« la bonne mesure et le bon poids Â» conduit Ã  la justice et Ã  la prospÃ©ritÃ©. Accumuler les reformes aboutit Ã  lâ€™Ã©volution des sociÃ©tÃ©s humaines. Mais, les EnvoyÃ©s nâ€™avaient rÃ©coltÃ©, de la part de leurs peuples, que mÃ©pris, insultes et menaces. Lâ€™insistance des citÃ©s Ã  leurs multiples corruptions rendait la reforme impossible, ce qui aboutit Ã  lâ€™intervention divine selon laquelle la preuve prÃ©cÃ¨de toujours le chÃ¢timent. La destruction prenait de diverses formes : dÃ©luge, vent mugissant, cri ou pierres dâ€™argile. Actuellement, les sites archÃ©ologiques dâ€™Al-Hijr en Arabie saoudite, et de Tall El-Hamamen Jordanie tÃ©moignent respectivement et incontestablement de (MadÄÊ¾in á¹¢Äliá¸¥) et de la citÃ© de Sodome.
This article examines in depth the different types of iniquity in the accursed cities according to the Koranic text: idolatry, ignorance, corruption, immobility, and turpitude. A reform was embarked upon by Messengers who followed a long process of arguments and logical evidence in validating a principle that corruption leads to destruction. The principle of "the right measure and the right weight" leads to justice and prosperity. Accumulating reforms leads to the evolution of human societies. The Messengers, however, received contempt, insults, and threats fromtheir people. The insistence of the cities on their multiple corruptions made the reform impossible, which led to the divine intervention that the proof always precedes the punishment. Destruction took various forms such as flood, howling wind, scream, or clay stones. Currently, the archaeological sites of Al-Hijr in Saudi Arabia and Tall el-Hamam in Jordan, respectively, give unquestionable evidence of MadÄÊ¾in á¹¢Äliá¸¥ and the city of Sodom.
Dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs from the Miocene Zonderschot sands, northern Belgium: stratigraphic significance and correlation with contiguous areas
Authors: LOUWYE Stephen
Published: August 2020

A palynological investigation of the Miocene Zonderschot Sands (Berchem Formation) from the type locality Zonderschot (northern Belgium) has revealed the presence of a diverse dinoflagellate cyst and acritarch association. The dinoflagellates reflect a shallow marine environment, although the oceanic species Nematosphaeropsis and Impagidinium are prominent in the association and indicate the presence of an oceanic influence. This can be explained only by the depositional area being located at the very southern margin of the relatively isolated North Sea Basin during a period of maximum landward extent of the marine realm. A precise biostratigraphical correlation of the Zonderschot Sands with the Antwerpen Sands (Berchem Formation) from the Antwerp area is established. Biostratigraphical evaluation of key dinoflagellate cyst species indicates a latest Burdigalian (latest Early Miocene) - (earliest?) Langhian (early Middle Miocene) age for the Zonderschot Sands.

Water quality is a major factor in shrimp culture so maintenance that water quality system is the key factor of success of white shrimp culture. This research was conducted to determine the commercial probiotic on white shrimp (L. vannamei) culture media to decrease ammonia content and TOM. Research method used experimental testwithdifferent type of probiotic and giving periodic which are P0 (without probiotic). Probiotic A; P1 (3 days), P2 (5 days) and P3 (7 days). Probiotic B; P4 (3 days), P5 (5 days) and P6 (7 days). Probiotic C; P7 (3 days), P8 (5 days) and P9 (7 days).The results showed that probiotic bacteria influence the content of ammonia and total organic matter culture media of white shrimp. The lowest ammonia obtained in P4 (Probiotic B 3 days) is 0.05 mg/L and TOM is 53,72 mg/L in last week.The highest ammoniaand TOM in P0 (Control). All treatments with addition of probiotic give lowers ammonia in culture media. Survival Rate (SR) in P4 give significantly different results (P <0.05) to P0. Other water quality parameters measured during maintenance among other 27-30oC temperature, pH 7.0 to 7.9, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) from 3.1 to 7.6 mg/l and 15-19 ppt salinity.

The vibration table in a combination environmental testing device suffers from temperature changes, which cause the dynamic characteristics of the vibration structure to vary. The mechanism of the thermal effect on the dynamic characteristics of an elastic structure is presented, and a modal analysis with thermal effects based on the finite-element method (FEM) is carried out. The results show that the natural frequencies for each order decrease as the temperature increases, while the mode shapes of the vibrator do not change with temperature. Although thermal stress may affect natural frequencies due to the additional initial stress element stiffness, this stress can be neglected in the modal analysis because it is negligible relative to the effect of the material property changes with temperature.
Design of a Single and Dual Hybrid Piezoelectric Motors

Published: August 2020

In this paper, a new hybrid piezoelectric motor was developed. A range of degeneracy was found to obtain multiple choice of resonance frequency by adjusting the length of the elastic blocks neighboring to the longitudinal and torsional vibrators. A template was implemented in between the longitudinal and torsional vibrators to decrease the mutual vibration effect that effectively makes the calculated and actual driving frequency nearly close. Such configuration was instrumental to preserve the expected performance and reduce the trial-and-error design overhaul process of the elastic blocks. Moreover, a dual hybrid motor was easily formed by butting each stator of the two hybrid motors together with a rotor in the middle. Case studies of both single and dual hybrid motors are presented with both simulation and experimental results to demonstrate the structure design and the degeneracy approach. Besides the convenience of structurally combining two single hybrid motors to enhance the output, it was interesting to find out whether the proposed dual hybrid motor can significantly increase either the speed or torque by using different phase control methods. Therefore, using the dual hybrid motor provides a great advantage by providing an option for pursuing higher speed or larger torque output for certain applications.
La reproduction chez les cervidés
Authors: THIMONIER J. , SEMPERE A.
Published: August 2020

Les principales caractéristiques de la fonction de reproduction des cervidés ainsi que son contrôle par différents facteurs de l’environnement sont présentés dans cette étude bibliographique. Sous les latitudes moyennes et élevées, les cervidés originaires de ces latitudes ont un cycle saisonnier très marqué de la reproduction et il y a synchronisme entre l’activité sexuelle des mâles et celle des femelles. Les naissances ont toujours lieu à la fin du printemps ou au début de l’été. Compte-tenu des durées de gestation des différentes espèces présentées (200 à 290 jours), les périodes d’accouplement sont très variables d’une espèce à l’autre (été, automne, début de l’hiver), mais fixes pour une espèce donnée. La photopériode serait l’entraîneur de l’activité sexuelle comme cela a été démontré plus particulièrement chez les cerfs rouges. Il est possible d’avancer le début de la période de reproduction de 1 à 2 mois (cerfs rouges, daims) par différentes méthodes : effet mâle, traitements progestagène, traitement à la mélatonine. Ces méthodes ne sont toutefois efficaces que dans les 2 mois qui précèdent le début normal de la saison sexuelle. Sous les latitudes plus faibles et pour les cervidés originaires de ces latitudes, la répartition des mise bas au cours de l’année est beaucoup plus uniforme. Cette caractéristique semble subsister même lorsqu’ils sont transportés sous des latitudes plus élevées.
Le rôle du pylore dans le contrôle de l’ingestion alimentaire chez les ruminants
Authors: MALBERT C.H.
Published: August 2020

Le pylore, qui signifie étymologiquement le portier, est un orifice à géométrie variable dont on connaît mal l’influence sur le passage vers l’aval du contenu de l’estomac sécrétoire (caillette) des ruminants. Le chyme est évacué sous la forme de jets successifs dont le volume dépend du diamètre de l’orifice. Le gradient de pression développé par les contractions antro-duodénales, leur degré de coordination, la viscosité de la phase liquide conditionnent la vitesse de l’évacuation du chyme. L’importance du pylore vis-à-vis de l’ingestion alimentaire est démontrée chez le mouton, qui accroît son niveau d’ingestion après ablation (pylorectomie) ou neutralisation des fibres musculaires du sphincter (pyloroplastie). Les autres moyens de vaincre la résistance que présente le pylore au transit digestif sont les gastrokinétiques d’une part et l’ingestion d’aliments entraînant une diminution de la viscosité du chyme d’autre part.
Croissance des génisses de renouvellement et performances ultérieures
Authors: TROCCON J.L. , PETIT M.
Published: August 2020

L’élevage des génisses laitières ou allaitantes, de la naissance au premier vêlage à 2 ou 3 ans, requiert des conditions optimales d’alimentation et de croissance, variables selon les génotypes et leur potentiel de production. Un gain de poids vif trop élevé ou trop faible avant la puberté, réduit le développement mammaire et la production laitière non seulement en première lactation mais aussi au cours des lactations suivantes. Un gain de poids vif élevé au-delà de la puberté et un poids vif élevé au premier vêlage améliorent la production laitière et la fertilité des vaches primipares. Leurs réserves mobilisables sont accrues et leur besoin de croissance est plus faible. Cependant, un excès d’embonpoint de la vache primipare peut réduire sa capacité d’ingestion déjà faible au début de la lactation et son aptitude au vêlage.
