Egemen Söylemin Kıyısındakiler: Alternatif Bir Platform Olarak YouTube’da Gazetecilik ve Gazeteciler Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: BULUT Serkan
Published: June 2020

Medya her döneminde politik olmuştur. Çünkü ortaya koyduğu ürünlerin dili ve söylemi politiktir. Bunun bir diğer nedeni medya söylemleri, iktidar sahiplerinin ya istemedikleri ya da dönüştürmek istedikleri türden söylemlerdir. Bundan olsa gerek güçlü iktidarların karşı savaş başlattıkları pek çok kurumun başında medya gelmektedir. Medyayı denetim altına almak ve öyle tutmak aykırı ya da marjinal söylemlerin yaşam alanlarını daraltmaktadır. İnternetin ve sosyal ağların gelişmesine kadar gazeteciler için var olabilmelerinin yegâne şartı ana akım medya kuruluşlarının birinde bulunmaktı. Ancak bugün sosyal internet ağları farklı boyutlarda yeni bağımlılıklar veya tartışmalı durumlar yarattıkları gibi artık gazetecilik mesleğinin de icra edilebileceği birer alan haline gelmiştir. Bazı gazeteciler alternatif bir alan olarak değerlendirdikleri YouTube platformunda da mesleklerini icra etmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu çalışmada YouTube ortamının yapısı, haberciliğe elverişli olup olmadığı ve burada habercilik mesleğinin devam edip edemeyeceği gibi konular YouTube platformunda habercilik yapmaya çalışan gazeteciler üzerinden incelenmiştir. Bulguların değerlendirilmesi sonucunda söylenebilir ki YouTube görüntülü haberlerin üretilmesi ve hedef kitleye ulaştırılması için popüler bir mecra haline gelmektedir. Bu çalışma göstermiştir ki, geleneksel medya ile sınırlı kalmayan gazeteciler, habercilik deneyimlerine YouTube gibi sosyal medya platformları üzerinden devam edebilmekte ve belirli bir hedef kitleye ulaşabilmektedir.

Published: June 2020

A new method of enantioselective determination of S- and R-isomers of ibuprofen in human plasma by ultraperformance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection using solid-phase extraction was developed. For enantioselective separation of ibuprofen isomers, a LUX Cellulose-3 chiral chromatographic column was used. Complete separation of the enathiomer peaks is achieved in the isocratic elution conditions with a mobile phase ratio of 0.05 % formic acid solution (%): methanol (%) = 30 : 70 (v/v) and a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The mass spectrometric detection was performed at negative ionization mode with multiple reaction monitoring, using the transitions at 205.13 > 161.14 Da and 208.09 > 164.03 Da for ibuprofen enantiomers and deuterated ibuprofen (internal standard), respectively. The method validation included the evaluation of the selectivity, linearity, lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), within-run and between-run precision and accuracy. The LLOQ for the two enantiomers was 100 ng/mL in plasma. The calibration curves showed good linearity of each enantiomers in the ranges from 100 to 60000 ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of ibuprofen enantiomers in human plasma.

The emergence, importance of #DisabilityTooWhite hashtag
Authors: Mulderink Carrie Elizabeth
Published: June 2020

In this essay, I look at #DisabilityTooWhite (Thompson, 2016) as an activist call to center the messy intersectionality politics in the disability community, specifically in terms of disability and Whiteness. I center my theoretical commitments within the realm of DisCrit (Disability/Critical Race Theory) to critique the interplay of race (ism) and ability (ableism). I further utilize thematic textual analysis to study the content that has been posted by Twitter users under the #DisabilityTooWhite hashtag. I use an inductive approach to my analyses by drawing themes from my research that fall in line with DisCrit's central commitments as a means to deepen the conversations about disability, Whiteness, and social media.
Autoimmune: A "Medicinal History"
Authors: Khan Sasha A.
Published: June 2020

In this project, I provide a "medicinal history" (Morales 1998) of my experiences of disability, Madness, and medical abuse, offering a creative format for archiving the past in order to craft healing futures. Weaving stories together with a rag doll index of myself, I craft my own "theory in the flesh," (Moraga and Anzaldúa 2015, 19) a counternarrative of resistance to interlocking systems of oppression grounded in my own lived experience as a queer, non-binary, mixed-race, desi, disabled, Mad, femme of color. By tracing white supremacist, colonial, heteropatriarchal, ableist, and saneist violence onto my body, I reimagine the ways that embodied traumas can morph to become possibilities for generative healing praxes. "Autoimmune" is a story of disabled and mad becoming, of the unspooling of the self and ableist/sanist definitions of (dis)ability and madness, and of the "re-storying" (Driskill 2016, 3) of disability and madness through a praxis of kinship.
"I'm Bright Enough to Do It, Even Though Sometimes I Feel I Can't Do It": Perspectives of High School Students with Learning Disabilities About Existing Supports to Achieve Graduation
Authors: Connor David J. , Cavendish Wendy , Hallaran Armineh , Olander Louis
Published: June 2020

Little evidence exists about how students with Learning disabilities (LD) recognize, understand, and utilize existing supports to ensure successful graduation from high school. In this article we ask: What are the supports available to high school students with LD that help them graduate? (a) What/who are some school-based supports they identify? (b) What/who are some non-school supports they identify? We share data from semi-structured interviews with forty high school students. Findings reveal: teacher support in the form of pedagogical choices, individualized support, and after-school support; counseling expertise in the form of academic advisement and emotional support; effective family-school collaboration; discrete family support outside of school; and various forms of self sustenance. Implications of these findings are discussed before recommendations are made to various stakeholders in the school community with the view to improving supports of students with LD toward helping them successfully graduate.
Of Non-Mice and Non-Men: Against Essentialism in Joshua Ferris's The Unnamed
Authors: Frank Nathan D.
Published: June 2020

Noticing the recent trend in disability studies to entertain essentialism in an attempt to capture the efficacy of identity politics, this essay articulates the reductive implications of doing so. By way of a meta-theoretical synthesis that guides a reading of The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris - a novel that defies categories precisely by defying the categorization of its protagonist's fictional disability in which he is unable to stop himself from walking - disability theory merges here with a range of speculative realisms to expose how the dangers of essentialism are reflected even in the very term "ableism."
Manual para Elaboração e Apresentação de Trabalhos Acadêmicos: projeto, monografia, dissertação e artigo
Authors: Siena Osmar , Oliveira Clésia Maria de , Braga Aurineide Alves
Published: June 2020

Um trabalho científico exige uma estrutura bem definida que integre as partes que o compõe, bem como o correto uso dos padrões da norma científica adotada. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste Manual é apresentar e discutir os tipos, a estrutura e as normas de elaboração e formatação de trabalhos acadêmicos com base nas orientações da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT). De forma complementar traz uma síntese das normas da sétima edição do Manual de Publicação da American Psychological Association (APA). A elaboração de trabalhos acadêmicos requer o desenvolvimento de competências teóricas e habilidades técnicas, bem como a observância de aspectos essenciais no que diz respeito a estruturação. Os assuntos discutidos neste Manual focam nos trabalhos mais comuns na vida acadêmica e visam oferecer subsídios à produção escrita, considerando que entre as finalidades da graduação e pós-graduação está o domínio das técnicas da produção científica. Durante várias décadas, a forma de organização e apresentação de trabalhos acadêmicos ou científicos no Brasil foi caracterizada por uma variedade de orientações de diversas fontes: normas de publicações científicas internacionais, comitês ou conselhos de áreas específicas, dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Bibliografia e Documentação (IBBD) e orientações da ABNT.  De modo semelhante algumas instituições acadêmicas e periódicos, em função de suas autonomias, exigem normas específicas para publicação de trabalhos acadêmicos, embora haja uma tendência cada vez maior em uniformizar os procedimentos seguindo as orientações da ABNT. A dispersão causa certos dissabores para orientandos e orientadores. Não são poucos os estudantes e profissionais que, mesmo tendo um trabalho nas mãos, encontram dificuldades em prepará-lo adequadamente para submissão a uma banca examinadora ou periódico científico. Neste sentido uma das contribuições deste Manual consiste em reunir as principais orientações da ABNT, edições atualizadas, em único documento, além de contemplar a discussão sobre os tipos de trabalho acadêmico, seus elementos e características.

Aportes a la apropiación social de TIC desde consejos comunitarios afrocolombianos de Corinto, Cauca
Authors: Quinchoa-Cajas Walter Julián
Published: June 2020

La apropiación social de tic ha alcanzado mayor campo de análisis e investigación. Hace unos años, se concebía sin la complejidad que varios autores, organizaciones e instituciones le han venido reconociendo. Esto hace pensar que, a pesar de los múltiples esfuerzos realizados desde varios sectores, el uso y la apropiación aún siguen sin ser comprendidos profundamente en sus entornos locales. Se presenta una estrategia metodológica construida con organizaciones rurales para la apropiación social de las TIC a través de análisisetnográficos de los “entornos prácticos” en la interrelación sujetos-tecnologías, atendiendo sus dimensiones a partir de una investigación en Corinto, Cauca.
Gestión del conocimiento: una apuesta desde la gobernanza para la educación en salud en el Cauca
Authors: Cisneros-Cisneros María Alejandra , Pemberthy-Gallo Luz Stella , Chaguendo-Muñoz Margye Katerine
Published: June 2020

La educación para la salud es una expresión de gobernanza del Estado hacia las comunidades y viceversa. La salud pública y sus dinámicas en el departamento del Cauca están ancladas a la diversidad étnica, cultural y social de la región. Esta cuestión hace más complejas las intervenciones y demanda de la institucionalidad estrategias que engranen y hagan sinergia con las comunidades. El presente artículo da cuenta de una investigación que surge a partir de un vacío pragmático en la institucionalidad que no se ha podido resolver –o armonizar, si se quiere– entre las intervenciones de educación en salud y la participación de las comunidades. El ejercicio investigativo se basó en una intervención social con comunidades caucanas campesinas (El Tambo), afrodescendientes (Buenos Aires) e indígenas (Resguardo de Guambia, Silvia), desarrollada mediante un enfoque de tipo cualitativo, de carácter analítico y propositivo que describe el diseño de una guía metodológica que aporte a la gobernanza en salud pública en el territorio. La intervención tiene como elemento interesante la validación de los conocimientos institucionales, saberes, sabiduría y prácticas de los pueblos, para construir una sociedad más equitativa en transición hacia la paz territorial.
Ingeniería para la construcción de paz: una reflexión preliminar para procesos tecnocientíficos de resiliencia territorial
Authors: Reina-Rozo Juan David
Published: June 2020

Este artículo propone el enfoque de la Ingeniería para la Construcción de Paz (IcP) como una praxis alternativa del ejercicio de la ingeniería en escenarios de conflicto, posconflicto y en situaciones donde la tecnociencia afecta de manera especial a comunidades marginadas y excluidas, lo que genera aún más inequidad. En especial, se presentan dos casos de estudio vinculados a la resiliencia de comunidades colombianas; el primero, es el Encuentro de diseño para el desarrollo internacional en San José del Guaviare y, el segundo, es el proyecto de emisoras comunitarias de bajo costo realizado en el Magdalena Medio. Para lograr esto, se hace una reflexión acerca de la relación histórica de la ingeniería y la guerra, para pasar a la descripción y el análisis de diversos enfoques comprometidos a nivel sociotécnico como la Ingeniería Sin Fronteras, la Ingeniería Humanitaria y la Ingeniería Popular, y su contribución para nutrir esta nueva praxis.
Financial Leverage on Earnings Management of Quoted Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria
Authors: Tonye Ogiriki , Seth Sokiri Iweias
Published: June 2020

This study investigated financial leverage on earnings management in manufacturing firms in Nigeria. A total of twenty-nine (29) listed firms on the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) were studied, and secondary data were extracted from their annual financial statements as reported in the factbook. Ordinary least squares (OLS) method was used to analyze the data. The results revealed that: the management of manufacturing companies in Nigeria employs all the three strategies of earnings management in their companies. The relationships between financial leverage and each of the dependent variables are positive but weak. Financial leverage does not have a significant impact on accruals earnings management in listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria; but it does on real earnings management and deferred tax earnings management; The study concludes that financial leverage has a positive impact on accrual earnings management, while both financial leverage and total leverage has a negative effect on real earning management. The study recommends that users of financial statements should factor in financial leverage in assessing reported earnings by lowering/upping their expectations as to the reliability of the earnings, depending on whether financial leverage is high or low.
Pedagogical Supervision and Change: Dynamics of Collaboration and Teacher Development
Authors: de Nazaré Coimbra Maria de Nazaré Coimbra , Pereira Ana Vale , de Oliveira Martins Alcina Manuela , Maria Baptista Cristina
Published: June 2020

The present study aims to analyse how pedagogical supervision can contribute to the change and innovation of the dynamics of collaboration and professional development of teachers in an educational community. After a decade of innovation and change in Portuguese schools, with the implementation of new collaborative supervision practices, it was interesting to carry out an analysis of their potentialities and constraints, about teacher professional development, focusing on collaborative work between peers. In the research, carried out in schools in the district of Porto, mixed methodological, qualitative and quantitative procedures were used. As a qualitative strategy, interviews with supervisors were conducted and analysed, and as a quantitative strategy, surveys were applied and analysed by teachers, aiming at the triangulation of the information collected. The results prove the potential of supervision, regarding the change in collaborative supervision practices, in peer work, with real construction of learning communities and improvement of school success. Both supervisors, as middle managers, and teachers positively highlight teamwork, especially in sectoral meetings and in the observation of classes between peers, valuing feedback, reflection, action research and the improvement of pedagogical intervention in the classroom. However, despite the recognition of the advantages of peer training supervision, the constraints of supervision still understood as evaluative are confirmed, showing the confusion between supervision and teacher performance evaluation. Indeed, some teachers continue to associate supervision with evaluative and bureaucratic procedures, which affects interpersonal relationships between supervisors and teachers, especially about class observation. Overall, supervisory action, based on democratic management practices and collaborative work, is considered essential for the reinforcement of continuous teacher training and the evolution of the dynamics of schools, as educational communities.
A Comparison of Studentsâ€™ Perceptions on Research Methods Pedagogy in Social-Work and Sport Management Courses
Authors: Augustine Gail M. , Aly Ezzeldin R.
Published: June 2020

Educators often grapple with the task of teaching a research method course in a manner that would engage and sustain studentsâ€™ attention throughout the semester. The pedagogical dilemma, for the most part, is connecting studentsâ€™ knowledge and attitude to engage in abstract thinking in the research method course appear to be nebulous. The current study aimed to investigate studentsâ€™ perceptions about ethics, values, social justice, and diversity in the research methods curriculum, which will provide frameworks for pedagogical understanding between groups. An understanding by comparing the perception of students will be useful in learning methodology for teaching research-related material on both graduate and undergraduate levels. Sixty graduate and undergraduate students from Florida A & M University were surveyed to assess their perceptions of ethics, values, social justice, and diversity in three different research method courses. The researchers used the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) to analyze the data and find the outcomes. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA to show comparisons between groups in the learning environments with the students in graduate and undergraduate research methods courses. The implications for addressing ethics, values, social justice, and diversity in the research methods were hypothesized.
Investment Governance: Delegation Decision Antecedents by Insurance Companies in Kenya
Authors: Mâ€™Ariba Rogers Kinoti , Oluoch Oluoch
Published: June 2020

t Delegation decisions comprise a key component of investment governance structures of firms. Based on agency theory, this paper explores corporate governance and market dynamics as antecedents of investment management delegation by insurance firms in Kenya. Investment governance structures employed by firms are shaped by their unique circumstances and diverse considerations. The objectives of this research were to establish the influence of corporate governance and market dynamics on the investment governance structures of insurance firms in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive approach with a target population of forty six firms in insurance and reinsurance business in Kenya. Both primary data and secondary data were collected. Data analysis was conducted using STATA relying on a binary logistic regression model. The study found that shareholder control, board diversity and avoidance of agency problems leads firms towards delegating their investment management activities. Desire to access alternative assets, peer influences and asset allocation considerations had a lesser extent of influence on firms towards delegation. The study concludes that large shareholder dictations and lack of investment management expertise in boards causes firms to adopt delegation models in their investment management. On the other hand, easy access to investment markets and constant supply of high yielding government bonds pulls firms towards internal investment management. It isrecommended that firms make appropriate choices on extent of delegation by carefully evaluating their needs and developing structuresthat deliver best outcomes.
Analyse Exploratrice Des ModÃ¨les De RÃ©fÃ©rence De Lâ€™Ã©valuation De La Performance De La Chaine Logistique

Published: June 2020

Lâ€™intÃ©rÃªt pour lâ€™Ã©valuation de la performance de la chaine logistique a considÃ©rablement augmentÃ© au cours des trois derniÃ¨res dÃ©cennies avec de multiples recherches menÃ©es. Cet article veut examiner les modÃ¨les de rÃ©fÃ©rence (SCORÂ® , BSC, ECOGRAI et ABC) en mettant en Ã©vidence leurs apports et leurs limites dans lâ€™Ã©valuation de la performance de la chaine logistique. Ces modÃ¨les sont classÃ©s en trois approches principales : Approche axÃ©e sur les processus, approche axÃ©e sur les perspectives et approche axÃ©e sur les niveaux hiÃ©rarchiques. En effet, ces modÃ¨les reposent sur la conception dâ€™un systÃ¨me dâ€™indicateurs de performance multicritÃ¨res et multidimensionnels pour assurer la mesure de la performance et associent ses indicateurs Ã  des activitÃ©s et Ã  des centres de dÃ©cisionstout au long de la chaine logistique permettant une Ã©valuation de la performance. Cet article rÃ©vÃ¨le que les modÃ¨les exploitÃ©s sont fragilisÃ©s par leur incapacitÃ© Ã  identifier les sources de performance et de non-performance dans la chaine logistique et par consÃ©quent leur insuffisance dans lâ€™Ã©laboration dâ€™un plan dâ€™action rÃ©sultant de lâ€™Ã©valuation de la performance de la chaine logistique. Ainsi, les contributions futures Ã  la recherche sur lâ€™Ã©valuation des performances de la chaine de performance sont possibles et souhaitables pour surpasser les limites des modÃ¨les de rÃ©fÃ©rence actuels.
Interest in the topic of supply chain performance assessment has increased considerably over the last three decades and considerable research has been conducted in this area. The objective of this paper is to review the benchmark models (SCORÂ® , BSC, ECOGRAI and ABC) to highlight their contributions and limitations in the contribution of supply chain performance assessment. These models can be classified into three main approaches: process-based approach, perspective-based approach and hierarchical level approach. These models are based on the design of a system of multi-criteria and multidimensional performance indicators for performance measurement and link these indicators to activities and decision centres along the supply chain to enable performance assessment. This article reveals that the models used are weakened by their inability to identify the sources of performance and non-performance in the supply chain and consequently their inadequacies in the development of an action plan to result from the evaluation of supply chain performance. Thus, future contributions to research on supply chain performance assessment are possible and desirable to overcome the limitations of current benchmarking models.

English Language, Globalisation and the Future of the Nigerian Indigenous Languages
Authors: Ugwu Eucharia Okwudilichukwu
Published: June 2020

In the present globalised world, languages have come to be ranked based on their roles in the world arena, the status assigned to them in the environment inwhich they are spoken as well as the number of their respective speakers. As such, some languages, including English, is considered a world language. English language wields great power in Nigeria, as an official and national language. Its ever-increasing roles have detrimental effects on the survival of the minority languages, with most of them playing just peripheral roles. Most of the minority languages are further threatened by the major ones spoken in different geopolitical zones. As the functional loads of these minority languages continue to reduce gradually and consistently, their level of vitality equally reduces. A minority language whose functional domains are overtaken by a dominant one will eventually disappear as their users shift to the latter and therefore, would no longer use them for any linguistic function. This paper discusses the current precarious situation of the Nigerian indigenous languages, especially the minority ones in the face of globalisation, the domineering effect of English language and what can be done to make these languages withstand the test of time.
Youth Crime in Karachi and London: A Comparative Analysis (Since 1990-2000)
Authors: Qadri Muhammad Ahmed , Arshad Muhammad
Published: June 2020

This paper focuses on performing a comparative analysis of youth crime in London (UK) and Karachi (Pakistan). The methodology adopted to carry out this research was of a descriptive study. The researcher on the basis of qualitative and quantitative findings has found the prevalence of juvenile delinquency in the different societies. It was found that even though the society of the UK possesses better mechanism and structure in the form of education, social lifestyle, police and law enforcing agencies, Britain is still faced with considerable challenges in minimizing juvenile delinquency within the Kingdom, specifically in London. The same has also been identified in the case of Pakistan where the situation and rate of juvenile delinquency are constantly increasing. This is due to various factors such as its economic condition, education standard, standard of living and others. It is, however, recommended that societies should make significant reforms in education, social, and other sectors in order to deal with the issue more effectively.
A Quadratic and Linear Metric Characterizing the Sampling Design with Fixed Sample Size Considered From a Geometric Viewpoint
Authors: Angelini Pierpaolo
Published: June 2020

The first-order and second-order inclusion probabilities are chosen by the statistician. They are subjective probabilities. We innovatively define univariate and bivariate random quantities whose logically possible values are samples of a given size in order to obtain the first-order and second-order inclusion probabilities by means of their coherent previsions. We consider linear maps connected with univariate random quantities as well as bilinear maps connected with bivariate random quantities. The covariance of two univariate random quantities that are the components of a bivariate random quantity has been expressed by means of two bilinear maps. We show that a univariate random quantity denoted by S is complementary to the univariate Horvitz-Thompson estimator. We identify a quadratic and linear metric with regard to two univariate random quantities representing deviations that we innovatively define. We use the Î±-criterion of concordance introduced byGini in order to identify it. It is a statistical criterion that we innovatively apply to probability.

Les populations sâ€™accordent plus sur leur utilisation (FCI=0,91) pour traiter ces maladies endocriniennes nutritionnelles et mÃ©taboliques (diabÃ¨te de type 2 et obÃ©sitÃ©). Les plantes recensÃ©es dans la prÃ©sente Ã©tude pourraient Ãªtre utilisÃ©es comme aliments fonctionnels dans la prÃ©vention du diabÃ¨te, de lâ€™hypertension artÃ©rielle et de lâ€™obÃ©sitÃ©.
Metabolic and cardiovascular diseases are implicated in the occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Edible plants may be an important alternative in their prevention. The objective of this work is to assess the knowledge of the populations of the N'Zi region in the central-eastern part of CÃ´te d'Ivoire. These different food plants have a health benefit on type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension and obesity. The ethnobotanical surveys conducted in this region, involving 554 people, using a survey questionnaire, using a survey questionnaire, identified 24 food used in households against these components of MetS. Among them, Moringa oleifera (36.90%) and Parkia biglobosa (25%) are the most cited and most consumed. There is greater agreement on their use (ICF=0.91) to treat nutritional and metabolic endocrine diseases(type 2 diabetes and obesity). The plants identified in this study could be used as functional foods in the prevention of type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension and obesity.

La culture du manioc joue depuis longtemps un rÃ´le important dans la diversification des exploitations et lâ€™offre alimentaire en CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire. Malheureusement, depuis la crise socio-politique de 2010 et lâ€™avÃ¨nement de la politique de la scolarisation des enfants de moins de 16 ans, la gestion parfaite de lâ€™enherbement dans cette spÃ©culation est devenue un problÃ¨me majeur. Cette Ã©tude vise Ã  Ã©valuer lâ€™incidence de lâ€™utilisation des herbicides sur les caractÃ©ristiques socio-Ã©conomiques du producteur de manioc en CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire. La collecte des donnÃ©es sâ€™est faite en deux Ã©tapes. La premiÃ¨re a consistÃ© Ã  effectuer une enquÃªte auprÃ¨s des producteurs de manioc dans la rÃ©gion de la MÃ©, situÃ© au Sud-Est du pays et la seconde, Ã  rÃ©aliser une expÃ©rimentation avec un herbicide Ã  base dâ€™oxyfluorfÃ¨ne sur la variÃ©tÃ© Â« bocou 1 Â» de manioc. Lâ€™enquÃªte rÃ©alisÃ©e relÃ¨ve que la technique de dÃ©sherbage influe sur la gestion de lâ€™enherbement et sur le profil du producteur. La technique manuelle est la plus pratiquÃ©e avec plus 85,44 p.c. Lâ€™expÃ©rimentation a montrÃ© que le dÃ©sherbage chimique couplÃ© au sarclage avec la machette est le mode de gestion de lâ€™enherbement le plus bÃ©nÃ©fique. Un producteur moyen met en moyenne 28 jours pour sarcler un hectare avec la daba, alors que pour le dÃ©sherbage chimique, une journÃ©e et demi-journÃ©e suffise. Sâ€™agissant du coÃ»t des dÃ©sherbages, le couplage de la technique chimique et la mÃ©thode manuelle est le moins coÃ»teux.
Cassava cultivation has long time played an important role in the diversification of farms and the food supply in CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire. Unfortunately, since the socio-political crisis of 2010 and the politic of schooling children under 16 years, the perfect management of weeds in this culture has become a major problem. This study aims to assess the impact of chemical weeding on the socio-economic characteristics of the cassava producer in this country. The data collection was done in two stages. The first was to conduct a survey of cassava producers and the second, to conduct an experiment with an herbicide of the active ingredient â€œoxyfluorfenâ€ on a cassava variety called â€œBocou 1â€. The survey shows that the weed control technique affects weed management and the profile of the producers. The manual technique is the most practiced with over 85.44 p.c. The experiment showed also that chemical weeding associated to weeding with the machete is the most beneficial weed management method. The analysis of duration of weeding shows that a farmer takes an average of 28 days to weed a hectare with the daba against one day and half for chemical weeding Regarding the cost of weeding, the coupling of the chemical technique and the manual method is the least expensive.

Abrus precatorius est reconnue dans le monde pour ses nombreuses vertus thÃ©rapeutiques en mÃ©dicine traditionnelle. Des Ã©tudes ont montrÃ© que lâ€™extrait aqueux de ses feuilles est non toxique par voie orale chez des rats, ce qui pourrait justifier son innocuitÃ© observÃ©e chez lâ€™homme en mÃ©dicine traditionnelle. La prÃ©sente Ã©tude a pour objectif de rechercher lâ€™effet de lâ€™extrait aqueux des feuilles de A. precatorius sur le poids corporel et la prise alimentaire des rats traitÃ©s contre les tÃ©moins traitÃ©s Ã  lâ€™eau distillÃ©e. Au cours de cette Ã©tude expÃ©rimentale de 21 jours, les animaux au nombre de 12 ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©partis dans des cages individuelles puis regroupÃ©s en deux groupes de 6. Ils ont Ã©tÃ© gavÃ©s chaque jour Ã  deux doses (2ml/100g) des substances dâ€™essai (matin/soir) pendant 7 jours et observÃ©s pendant 14 jours aprÃ¨s lâ€™arrÃªt du gavage. Afin de dÃ©terminer lâ€™influence de lâ€™extrait Ã  la dose efficace (40 mg/ml) sur la croissance et la prise alimentaire des rats, lâ€™Ã©volution de ces deux paramÃ¨tres a Ã©tÃ© suivie pÃ©riodiquement tout au long de lâ€™expÃ©rimentation. Les resultats obtenues montrent que lâ€™extrait aqueux des feuilles de A. precatorius Ã  la dose efficace (40 mg/ml) ne provoque pas de changement sur le poids et lâ€™alimentation des rats. Tous ces rÃ©sultats viennent justifier les nombreuses utilisations de la plante Abrus precatorius en mÃ©dicine traditionnelle.
Abrus precatorius is recognized worldwide for its many therapeutic virtues in traditional medicine. Studies have shown that the aqueous extract of its leaves is nontoxic orally in rats, which could justify its harmlessness observed in humans in traditional medicine. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of A. precatorius leaves on body weight and feed intake of the treated rats against distilled water controls. During this 21-day experimental study, the 12 animals were distributed in individual cages and then grouped into two groups ofsix. They were force-fed every day with two doses (2ml / 100g) of the test substances. (Morning / evening) for 7 days and observe for 14 days after stopping force-feeding. In order to determine the influence of the extract at the effective dose (40 mg / ml) on the growth and feeding of the rats, the evolution of these two parameters was periodically monitored throughout the experiment. The results obtained show that the aqueous extract of A. precatorius leaves at the effective dose (40 mg / ml) does not cause any change in the weight and diet of the rats. All these results justify the many uses of the plant Abrus precatorius in traditional medicine.

Cette Ã©tude porte sur la dÃ©termination des phases de dÃ©formations affectant les dÃ©pÃ´ts oligocÃ¨nes du Ct3, correspondant aux derniers dÃ©pÃ´ts de comblement du bassin des Iullemmeden dans la rÃ©gion de Niamey (Ouest, Niger). La mÃ©thodologie mise en Å“uvre est basÃ©e sur lâ€™analyse microtectonique de terrain soutenue par des donnÃ©es cartographiques et de lâ€™imagerie satellitaire. Les rÃ©sultats de cette Ã©tude montrent que les dÃ©pÃ´ts oligocÃ¨nes du Ct3 ont enregistrÃ© deux Ã©vÃ¨nements majeurs de lâ€™histoire tectonique de lâ€™Afrique de lâ€™Ouest au CÃ©nozoiÌˆque : la distension oligocÃ¨ne et la phase compressive post-oligocÃ¨ne, dâ€™Ã¢ge prÃ©sumÃ©e miocÃ¨ne. La phase distensive oligocÃ¨ne orientÃ©e ~N50Â° Ã  ~N80Â° serait Ã©troitement contrÃ´lÃ©e par la dynamique mantellique prÃ©valant Ã  cette Ã©poque, qui confÃ¨re une structuration en dÃ´mes et bassins Ã  lâ€™Afrique de lâ€™Ouest. Ces mouvements mantelliques descendants, concomitant au dernier Ã©pisode de comblement du bassin des Iullemmeden, favoriseraient le rejeu en normal de la plupart des failles dâ€™orientation NW-SE. La phase compressive ~N140Â°, prÃ©sumÃ©e dâ€™Ã¢ge miocÃ¨ne, se serait produite dans un contexte rÃ©gional marquÃ© par la poursuitende la convergence Afrique-Europe. Au cours de cette phase compressive, les failles hÃ©ritÃ©es ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©activÃ©es en dÃ©crochements soit senestres soit dextres en fonction de leur orientation par rapport Ã  la direction de raccourcissement.
The aim of this study is about the determination deformations phases that affect the Ct3 Oligocene deposits in the Niamey area (West, Niger), which correspond to the last deposits of the Iullemmeden basin. The methodology implemented is based on the microtectonic field investigation supported by cartographic data and satellite imagery analysis. The results of this study show that the Oligocene deposits of Ct3 recorded two major events of the West Africa tectonic history during Cenozoic period: the first one was Oligocene distension and the second was a post-Oligocene compressive phase, presumed to be Miocene in age. The Oligocene distensive phase oriented ~N50Â° to ~N80Â° would be closely controlled by the mantle dynamics prevailing at that time, which gave domes and basins structuring in West Africa. These downward mantle movements, concomitantly with the last episode of the Iullemmeden basin infilling, would favor the normal reactivation of the most NW-SE trending faults. The ~N140Â° compressive phase, presumed to be Miocene in age, would have occurred in a regional shortening context, which was marked by the continuation of the Africa-Europe convergence. During this compressive phase, the inherited structures such as faults were reactivated in either senestral or dextral strike-slip faults according to their orientation with the shortening direction.
