Authors: YASMIN R , MAJEED S , FAIZ N , RASHID SA
Published: January 2025

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a critical component of infection prevention and control, particularly in resource-limited healthcare settings like Pakistan. Compliance with PPE guidelines depends on healthcare workers' (HCWs) knowledge, attitudes, and the systemic barriers and facilitators they encounter. Objective: To assess HCWs' knowledge and attitudes regarding PPE usage, identify barriers and facilitators to compliance, and propose targeted interventions for improving adherence to PPE guidelines at Nishtar Hospital Multan. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 250 HCWs selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured, pre-tested questionnaire covering demographic details, knowledge and attitudes about PPE, and perceived barriers and facilitators to compliance. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 26, with results presented as frequencies and percentages. Chi-square tests were used to evaluate associations, with a p-value ≤0.05 considered significant. Results: Most participants (75%) correctly identified all PPE components, while 68% demonstrated adequate knowledge of proper donning procedures. Approximately 85% of HCWs recognized PPE as essential for infection control, but 60% found its usage inconvenient. The primary barriers to compliance were lack of training (60%) and limited availability (40%), while key facilitators included regular training programs (72%), accessible PPE supplies (80%), and strong leadership support (64%).Conclusion: Significant knowledge gaps and systemic barriers to PPE compliance were identified among HCWs at Nishtar Hospital. Improving training programs, ensuring consistent PPE availability, and fostering leadership engagement are essential steps toward enhancing compliance and strengthening infection control practices in resource-constrained settings.

Comedonal acne is a common dermatological condition characterized by open and closed comedones. Treatment modalities, including chemical peels and topical retinoids, have managed comedonal acne. Aim and Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of 35% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel with topical 0.1% adapalene gel in treating comedonal acne. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted at the Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan. A total of 80 patients with comedonal acne were recruited and randomly assigned to two treatment groups: Group A received 35% TCA peel, while Group B received topical 0.1% adapalene gel. The primary outcome measures included changes in comedonal lesion count and severity, assessed using standardized clinical photographs and dermatological examinations. Secondary outcomes comprised patient-reported improvement, adverse events, and treatment tolerability. Results: The mean age of participants was 25.4 ± 4.6 years, with a female predominance (65%). At baseline, both groups exhibited similar comedonal lesion counts and severity scores. Following treatment, a significant reduction in comedonal lesions was observed in both groups (p < 0.001). However, the reduction in comedonal lesion count was more significant in the 35% TCA peel group than the adapalene gel group (mean decrease of 80% vs. 60%, respectively). Additionally, patients in the TCA peel group reported higher satisfaction rates and fewer adverse events than the adapalene gel group. Conclusion: Our study suggests that 35% TCA peel is more effective than topical 0.1% adapalene gel in reducing comedonal acne lesions and improving patient satisfaction. TCA peel may represent a promising treatment option for patients with comedonal acne, offering superior efficacy and tolerability compared to topical retinoids.

Published: January 2025

The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is the storehouse of wide variety of medicinal plants. However, protected areas in Himachal Pradesh are less explored for medicinal plants. As such, Khokhan Wildlife Sanctuary in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh has not been explored for the medicinal plants diversity. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explore the medicinal plants diversity of the sanctuary during 2016-2023. The study recorded 377 medicinal plants belonging to 264 genera and 87 families. Of the recorded medicinal plants, 177 were natives, 83 near endemics and 06 endemics. Different parts of the medicinal plants were used by the inhabitants for curing cough, cold, fever, cuts, wound, blood purification, tonic, liver and kidney complaints, antidote to snake, insect bite, etc. But, due to over exploitation, habitat degradation and changing environmental conditions, the populations of most of the species are declining rapidly in the sanctuary. Therefore, there is an urgent need to monitor the populations of these medicinal plants frequently by using ecological (quardrat) method, and create awareness among the inhabitants and Forest Department officials about the sustainable utilization.

Published: January 2025

Weather plays critical role in the safety and operational efficiency of aircraft operation.As early as 1913 India Meteorological Department started taking upper air observation to support aviation and first aviation forecast was issued in 1921 for the Royal Air Force (RAF). While evolution of Aviation Meteorological services in early years was primarily driven by military aviation, it was post second World war rapid growth of commercial aviation gave boost to Aviation Meteorological services in India. India Meteorological Department kept pace with growing demands of aviation sector by modernising its observing systems, communication and forecasting. The On Line Briefing System (OLBS) has been a boon to low cost carriers. IMD delegates have been atively contributing to ICAO proceedings for the efficient international aviation services. IMD is also working closely with Met Services of the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy to provide coordinated services at Joint User Airfields under UDAN scheme. To meet future requirements.  IMD is in the process of developing Decision Support System and implementing MET-ATM to give reliable warning against severe aviation hazards. This will contribute to safety and enhance operational  efficiency of airlines and airports.In view of climate change, Aviation community and policy makers also need to take in to account the impact on climate change on airport management and aircraft operations.
Utvärdering av sträckfilm och mantelfilm till rundbalat ensilage och plastfilm till hackat ensilage
Authors: Nadeau Elisabet , Danielsson Dan-Axel , Holmström Kristina
Published: January 2025

Många fodergrödor ensileras och i de flesta fall används plast. Det kan vara runt rundbalar eller som täckning i plansilo. Plasten i sig är en belastning på klimatet, men det är också de förluster som sker under fermenteringen. Syftet med denna studie var att studera effekten av olika typer av sträckfilm, antal lager sträckfilm och mantelfilm i stället för nät på rundbalens densitet och täthet samt ensilagets fermenteringskvalitet, lagringsstabilitet, klimatavtryck och kostnader samt att studera effekten av olika typer av plansilofilm med och utan underlagsfilm på samma parametrar.

Studien utfördes på försöksgården Viken under år 2020 och år 2021. Tre olika plastfilmer, 4,6 eller 8 lager och mantelfilm kontra nät studerades på totalt 132 rundbalar med skuren grönmassa som ensilerades. Fem olika kombinationer av täckplast studerades utifrån förhållanden som skulle efterlikna förhållandena i en plansilo med hackad grönmassa som ensilerades.

Emissionsförlusterna vid ensileringen hade betydligt större påverkan på klimatavtrycket än vilken plastsom användes eller hur många lager plast som lades runt balen. Sammanfattningsvis visar dessa och tidigare studier på att mantelfilm, tjock sträckfilm och fler lager är positivt för ensilagets fermenteringskvalitet och ger därmed lägre klimatpåverkan. Det verkar inte vara någon nackdel att använda sträckfilm eller täckplast som innehåller återvunnen råvara.

Authors: Kamau Eunice , Myllynen Teemu , Mustapha Sikirat Damilola , Babatunde Gideon Opeyemi , Alabi Abidemi Adeleye
Published: January 2025

The increasing adoption of multi-cloud strategies by organizations to enhance scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency necessitates seamless real-time data synchronization across diverse cloud platforms. This paper proposes a conceptual model for achieving robust real-time data synchronization in multi-cloud environments. The model addresses challenges such as data latency, consistency, security, and interoperability, which are critical in ensuring seamless operations across distributed systems. The conceptual framework integrates advanced technologies, including edge computing, blockchain, and AI-driven analytics, to enhance data synchronization processes. Edge computing minimizes latency by processing data closer to the source, while blockchain ensures secure, immutable data exchanges between cloud providers. AI algorithms dynamically optimize data flows, predict potential synchronization conflicts, and ensure adherence to compliance standards across platforms. The proposed model emphasizes the importance of a modular architecture, comprising three core layers: (1) the Data Acquisition Layer, which gathers and preprocesses data from disparate cloud sources; (2) the Synchronization Orchestration Layer, responsible for maintaining consistency and resolving conflicts through smart contracts and AI-driven decision-making; and (3) the Application Layer, which ensures real-time access to synchronized data for end-users. The model also incorporates a hybrid encryption mechanism to secure data during transit and at rest, safeguarding sensitive information against breaches. The study evaluates the proposed model against existing synchronization solutions, highlighting improvements in latency, data accuracy, and security. Potential use cases include finance, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors, where real-time data synchronization is essential for operational efficiency and user satisfaction. The findings of this research offer a foundational framework for future implementations of real-time data synchronization in multi-cloud settings. By addressing existing gaps and leveraging emerging technologies, this conceptual model paves the way for more resilient and adaptive multi-cloud ecosystems.

Authors: Tian Zhuyun
Published: January 2025

Use the "cultural hierarchy theory" to analyse and study the connotation of China-ASEAN traditional sports culture. Through literature and other studies, it is found that China and ASEAN countries have similar contents of national traditional sports culture, which have some commonalities, but they also present their own unique cultural connotations in material, spiritual and institutional levels. These differences and similarities reflect the uniqueness of their respective national histories, lifestyles, religious beliefs and national systems, contribute to the development of global multi-culture, deepen the deepening of China-ASEAN cultural exchanges, and promote the inheritance and development of national traditional sports culture.
Sagrado/Profano. Nuevos desafíos al proyecto de la modernidad
Authors:   Universidad Pública de Navarra, Beriain Josetxo , Sánchez de la Yncera Ignacio ,   Universidad Pública de Navarra
Published: January 2025

Hasta muy recientemente, la teoría general de la secularización --originada en Europa a finales del siglo XVIII-- ha proyectado la imagen de un progreso inevitable sustentado en una concepción finalista de la evolución de las sociedades que conducía, inexorablemente, de lo sagrado a lo secular. Se creía que cuanto más moderna fuera una sociedad más secular tenía que ser y, por ello, también menos religiosa. Sin embargo, los trabajos que presentamos en este libro exponen que lo que la realidad exhibe es un proceso que avanza entre lo sagrado y lo secular, siempre que estas categorías se consideren en constante tensión dinámica. No vivimos en un mundo donde quepa hacer tabula rasa de la vieja distinción trascendencia/inmanencia, como ingenuamente se pensó en una primera oleada secularizadora que consideraba a la sociedad moderna asentada de forma irreversible en la pura inmanencia de un mundo secular. Con el fin de ofrecer indicadores sociológicos de esta reorientación conceptual se analizan los conceptos de «modernidad», «progreso», «diferenciación funcional» y «aceleración social», así como los nuevos estilos de vida, las prácticas de consumo, las «nuevas» identidades narrativas y sus portadores sociales. Por último, analizamos el conjunto de metamorfosis que experimenta la violencia, así como la emergencia de nuevos miedos colectivos.

Published: January 2025

En este capítulo se analizan y comparan las opiniones de parlamentarios y ciudadanos sobre el problema de la desconfianza política. Se trata del primer estudio en el que se analizan las percepciones de los propios parlamentarios sobre las razones de la desconfianza, lo cual permite conocer hasta qué puntillas percepciones de ciudadanos y representantes coinciden o difieren, al tiempo que se arroja nueva información sobre la confianza política en España. En la próxima sección se presenta el concepto teórico de confianza y se analizan los factores que han sido propuestos por la literatura para explicar la erosión de la confianza política en las democracias occidentales en las últimas décadas. A continuación, se analizan las causas de la desconfianza en la política y los partidos políticos, según son percibidas por los propios parlamentarios. Seguidamente, se presenta un modelo explicativo en el que se trata de responder a la cuestión de por qué unos parlamentarios dan más importancia a unos tipos de factores que a otros. Por último, se analiza la percepción que tienen los parlamentarios de la corrupción, que es señalada como el principal motivo de desconfianza tanto en la política como en los partidos. El capítulo finaliza con una sección de conclusiones en la que se resumen los principales hallazgos empíricos y sus posibles implicaciones para el funcionamiento del sistema de representación.
O EFEITO BACKLASH A PARTIR DO PROJETO DA REFORMA ELEITORAL DE 2023 SOBRE O MANDATO COLETIVO NO BRASIL
Authors: Café Antônio Eduardo Oliveira Damascena , Drummond Ana Thaís Kerner , Costa Vanessa Regis , Fernandes Gabriel Lima
Published: January 2025

Este artigo explora o efeito backlash, conceito americano, importado para a jurisprudência brasileira, incidindo sobre o mandato coletivo no Brasil. O mandato coletivo é uma proposta que traz uma inovação ao cenário político brasileiro, concebida, segundo seus defensores, para promover maior representatividade e incentivar a participação popular no processo político. Com a regulamentação do mandato coletivo pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral - TSE, o legislativo respondeu com uma minirreforma eleitoral, emendada para a extinção da forma de promoção de mandato. O presente trabalho utiliza como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, partindo do referencial teórico o qual aborda o mandato coletivo como uma forma de maior participação de vários setores e grupos da sociedade, bem como uma nova forma de representação política. Como resultado, é possível aferir que o mandato promovido coletivamente e suas candidaturas se firma como uma pauta de um grupo de parlamentares provocando a reação de sua oposição, que tem como argumento principal a retaliação ao ativismo judicial.

Using artificial intelligence tools for automating the assessment of future computer science teachers' work
Authors: Spazhev Oleksandr M. , Klochko Oksana V.
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the problem of automated testing of modified programming tasks for future computer science teachers. It is recommended that GitHub Copilot be used to generate tests based on the code. This approach makes it possible to solve the following tasks: reducing the time and effort required for manual checking of programming tasks completed by students; promoting better assimilation of the material of the relevant disciplines by students; promoting the development and improvement of students' skills in algorithmisation and programming; compliance by students with academic integrity; effective use of GitHub Copilot to generate baseline tests to test modified programming assignments completed by students; ensuring the flexibility and scalability of the approach to the development of various training courses in programming; development of students' software product testing skills. In the process of research, we found the following disadvantages of using the GitHub Copilot system for generating basic tests: GitHub Copilot does not always generate perfect code or tests; for complex tasks, GitHub Copilot may require additional correction of the generated code. Therefore, it is important to check and refine the generated tests carefully, if necessary. Therefore, at the moment, we recommend using GitHub Copilot as a template generator for writing tests. The proposed approach is a promising solution for facilitating the verification of modified programming tasks and increasing the effectiveness of the education process of future informatics teachers. The conducted research opens up new prospects for effective improvement of the verification of modified tasks performed by students and the generation of tests for verification. In particular, the integration of the proposed system based on GitHub Copilot with learning management systems (LMS) and automated task verification systems. Another area of research could be exploring the possibilities of using other tools for generating tests instead of GitHub Copilot or combining them in order to obtain better results.

Authors:   Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, , Zagazig University, Zagazig, Egypt., Abd El-Hady Hanaa
Published: January 2025

The autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is presented with many clinical symptoms. The transcription factor fork head box protein 3 (Foxp3) is expressed on regulatory T (T-reg) cells and essential for its development and function. Functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Foxp3-3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene influence SLE pathogenesis. We aimed to assess the relation between the functional polymorphism in Foxp3-3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene and risk of SLE development and lupus disease activity state. This case-control study included SLE patients, diagnosed according to American College of Rheumatology/Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (ACR/SLICC) classification criteria. The degree of disease activity was assessed by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Score (SLE-DAS). Foxp3-3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene polymorphism was detected using the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism-based analysis (PCR-RFLP). We found that AA and AC genotypes significantly increased the risk of SLE by 7.25 and 2.88 folds, respectively (p<0.001) and A allele significantly increased that risk by 3.12 folds (p<0.001). AA genotype significantly increased the risk of SLE moderate–severe disease activity and risk of lupus nephritis by 33.6 folds (p<0.001). In conclusion, Foxp3 -3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene polymorphism was associated with the risk of SLE and lupus nephritis. The relation of this SNP with SLE disease activity highlighted the role of Foxp3 gene in SLE pathogenesis and manifestations that could potentially enhance the management of SLE patients by identifying each person's unique response to treatment.

Authors: Siahaan Tarida Christio Ersanna Onlia , Hariastawa IGB Adria , Matulatan Fendy
Published: January 2025

Bowel resection is usually performed in the operative management of pediatric intussusception patients when the strangulation process lasts for a long time, causing intestinal ischemia and necrosis. A combined scoring system of biological markers and clinical conditions of pediatric patients with intussusception can be a tool to help make decisions to perform appropriate and rapid intestinal resection to reduce patient morbidity and mortality. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of pediatric intussusception patients undergoing laparotomy surgery at Dr. Soetomo Hospital in 2019 – 2024. The data were collected from electronic medical records, with 69 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, multivariate analysis was performed to obtain markers and ratios of inflammatory markers associated with the occurrence of intestinal necrosis in pediatric patients with intussusception. Of the total 69 subjects, 49 (58%) underwent bowel resection and the rest (29 [42%]) resolves without bowel resection, 49 (58%) was male and dominated by age group of < 12 months old (51 [73,9%]), the most common clinical symptoms was abdominal pain (68 of 69 [98,6%]). Using the Backward Stepwise method, 2 clinical factors were obtained in the form of significant vomiting and abdominal mass (p < 0.05) and a biological marker in the form of CAR cut off (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A scoring system could not be created in this study, but several variables could be used as components of a scoring system in the future study.

Authors: Flores Ivonne
Published: January 2025

La pandemia por COVID-19 trajo consigo retos y experiencias para dar continuidad a los procesos educativos. En el nivel preescolar el reto fue aún mayor debido al desarrollo de habilidades como eje central y no con contenidos conceptuales propiamente dichos como sucede con otros niveles educativos, por lo que en este artículo se muestran los resultados de investigación que tuvo como objetivo promover el desarrollo del pensamiento matemático a través de la gamificación en estudiantes de tercer grado de educación preescolar. Esta propuesta didáctica emergente tomó como punto de partida el juego como elemento que favorece el interés y la motivación por aprender y en su diseño se realizó un trabajo diagnóstico integral que evaluó no solo el conocimiento previo de los estudiantes sino también las condiciones necesarias de uso de dispositivos y conectividad de los padres de familia. Se identificó que los niños adicionalmente al uso de las matemáticas para la resolución de problemas cotidianos permitieron el desarrollo de habilidades sociales, de ubicación espacial, de regulación y cooperación entre sus compañeros. La formación docente es fundamental en el conocimiento, selección y manejo de videojuegos para la aplicación de la propuesta de forma presencial adecuándose a las condiciones del contexto.

Published: January 2025

L’école primaire Tenkodogo Centre accueille certains enfants vivant avec une déficience visuelle qui y sont intégrés depuis la classe de CP1. D’autres enfants vivant avec le même type de déficience y sont également accueillis, mais à partir de la classe de CE2 et après un passage dans une CTIS, pour une préparation de trois ans. Afin de vérifier si le passage dans une CTIS offre des avantages ou pas par rapport à l’intégration directe, il a fallu procéder à une comparaison des performances de ces deux catégories d’élèves en mathématiques et en français et ce, dans toutes les sous-disciplines de ces deux matières. Il ressort de cet exercice que les élèves issus des CTIS ont des performances nettement supérieures à leurs pairs directement intégrés à l’école Tenkodogo Centre.

Authors: NIANG Amadou Yoro
Published: January 2025

Au Sénégal, le Programme d’Amélioration de la Qualité, de l’Équité et de la Transparence (Paquet Éducation-Formation), décline l’impérieuse nécessité d’une valorisation de la formation scientifique et technologique dans l’Éducation de Base pour en faire un véritable outil d’acquisition de compétences et de développement professionnels de l’enseignant. Contrairement à leurs collègues du Moyen secondaire, les enseignants de l’élémentaire ne sont pas spécialistes dans toutes les compétences disciplinaires qu’ils ont en charge de communiquer chez leurs élèves. Or dans les sciences expérimentales et technologiques, plus que toutes les autres activités du primaire se posent, d’après la Direction de la Planification et de la Réforme de l’Éducation (DPRE), de réelles difficultés à ces futurs maîtres. L’objectif est d’interroger l’origine de ces difficultés notées dans l’enseignement des sciences, de les identifier et de les analyser, pour concevoir une formation qui permettra de les surmonter. La méthodologie appliquée à dominante qualitative a consisté à élaborer un questionnaire mené auprès de 25 stagiaires. Cette enquête a permis de présenter les résultats de ce questionnaire sur la base d’analyse du discours des stagiaires, dans une perspective de mise en relation de chaque élément de formation proposée avec les concepts et notions théoriques développés, en vue de leur évaluation en fonction d’indicateurs précis. Il ressort de l’étude que le rapport particulier qui lie les stagiaires aux sciences expérimentales et technologiques peut véritablement entraver leur acquisition des compétences professionnelles, avec des conséquences périlleuses sur la pratique.

L’objectif de recherche est d’identifier les différentes formes de violence entre élèves du primaire ainsi que les facteurs explicatifs selon le genre et l’âge des écoliers qui en sont victimes, sans oublier leurs répercussions sur le processus d’apprentissage scolaire. Un échantillon de 387 élèves de Cycle 3 a été déterminé. Les données recueillies à l’aide d’un questionnaire ont été soumises à un traitement statistique inférentiel. Des résultats obtenus, on peut retenir que quel que soit le type de violence scolaire subie entre pairs, les élèves victimes, éprouvent des difficultés d’apprentissage scolaire. On note d’abord qu’il y a une différence de rendement scolaire entre les élèves de sexe féminin selon qu’elles ont été victimes ou non de violence sexuelle (p=0,24). Ensuite, la différence d’écart de performance scolaire entre les élèves de sexe masculin selon qu’ils ont été victimes ou non de violence physique, se révèle statistiquement significatif (p=0,000). Enfin, on observe que la corrélation entre le rendement scolaire de l’élève selon son âge est significative selon qu’il a été victime de violence verbale et d’extorsion avec une différence de la valeur du coefficient (r = 0,140). Des interventions préventives de protection de l’enfance s’avèrent importantes en vue de favoriser une meilleure autorégulation scolaire expurgée des environnements peu rassurants et instables.
Les épreuves de géographie au Brevet d’Études du Premier Cycle (BEPC) au Burkina Faso : la question de la qualité au cœur d’une réflexion didactique

Published: January 2025

Les réformes des examens scolaires entreprises en 2021 par les autorités burkinabè en vue de la certification des acquis des apprenants, notamment au Brevet d’Études du Premier Cycle (BEPC) en Histoire-Géographie, ont suscité des crises qui ont émaillé le déroulement des activités pédagogiques au cours de l’année scolaire 2020-2021. Ces réformes qui visent à instituer le sujet unique au lieu de deux au choix et les réactions qu’elles ont suscitées, révèlent, une fois de plus, la profondeur et l’ampleur de la question de la qualité des épreuves dont la longueur et le manque de pertinence ont été à maintes reprises soulignés par plusieurs auteurs. Face à cette réalité, la réflexion qui se veut permanente entend se focaliser sur la qualité réelle des épreuves de Géographie au BEPC. Outre leur longueur, quels reproches peut-on faire aux épreuves d’évaluation certificative d’histoire-géographie à l’examen du BEPC au Burkina Faso ? Pour répondre à cette interrogation, la démarche adoptée recourt à une approche mixte à dominante qualitative. Elle analyse des données provenant des acteurs de terrain et celles issues d’analyses documentaires. En menant la réflexion sur les deux dernières sessions du BEPC et à la lumière des tableaux de spécifications de la Direction générale des examens et concours, cette recherche aboutit à la conclusion que les épreuves de géographie proposées à l’examen du BEPC pêchent par leur faible qualité au regard des insuffisances relevées au niveau de la validité et de la fiabilité.

Le « Baya », communément connu comme parure et accessoire de beauté chez la femmeafricaine se voit conférer de plus en plus des fonctions nouvelles, notamment celles créatricesde lien d’attachement et source de résilience. L’objectif de cet article est de déterminer larelation entre baya, attachement et résilience chez des filles scolarisées en situation de précarité.Cette étude cible des filles du Lycée Classique 1 de Bouaké, choisies sur la base d’unéchantillonnage non probabiliste, notamment l’échantillonnage à boule de neige. L’ancragethéorique de cette étude est une combinaison de la théorie de l’évaluation cognitive et du copinget de la théorie de l’inconscient collective de C. G. Jung. La méthode clinique et de l’étude decas, les techniques de la recherche documentaire, de l’entretien semi-directif et de l’observationnon participative ont permis de collecter des données utiles à cette étude. La méthode d’analysede données est l’analyse qualitative, précisément l’analyse phénoménologique. Les résultats del’étude indiquent que les filles lycéennes, au-delà de l’aspect esthétique du Baya, utilisent dessavoirs endogènes avec le soutien des Marabouts, pour fidéliser les « tontons » pourvoyeurs deressources et améliorer leur rendement scolaire.
Évolution du rapport au savoir scientifique sur les plantes à fleurs : étude de cas des enseignants du cycle fondamental
Authors: KONÉ Bérédougou
Published: January 2025

Cet article s’intéresse aux multiples erreurs transmises dans le savoir enseigné, qui déterminent les façons d'enseigner et qui s'expriment dans le rapport au savoir des enseignants. Son objectif est d’entraîner une évolution de leur rapport au savoir sur les plantes à fleurs. Les enseignants ont été soumis à des travaux de groupes et des débats de classe pour résoudre un problème scientifique sur les plantes à fleurs. Cette activité a permis de repérer des représentations qui se manifestent en obstacles épistémologiques donnant forme au rapport au savoir des enseignants. Ce rapport se manifestant par les idées comme : le fruit de l’arachide se forme à partir d’un œuf issu de la fécondation, les fruits sont portés par les racines, le bulbe d’oignon, et le tubercule de pomme de terre sont des fruits ou des graines. Le rapport au savoir des enseignants est à l’origine de certaines erreurs fréquentes dans les savoirs transmis aux élèves.
L’éducation dans la région de l’est-Cameroun : enjeux, défis et perspectives
Authors: MBWASSAK Rodrigue
Published: January 2025

Les études sur l’éducation au Cameroun font état de ce que les sociétés forestières et côtières ont été les premières à entrer en contact avec le monde occidental et l’école moderne (J. Ekango Epoh, 2010 ; H. Ngonga, 2010). Ce n’est que progressivement que l’école s’est étendue sur l’ensemble du territoire camerounais, mais avec des disparités dans l’offre d’éducation entre les groupes sociaux. Ces disparités ont continué malgré les efforts déployés par le gouvernement au cours des années postindépendances. Le point 264 de la SND 2020-2030 (2020) pointe du doigt les « politiques d’éducation et […] une inégale répartition du personnel au profit des zones urbaines et de l’insuffisance du paquet minimum dans les services, notamment en milieu rural ».  L’analyse du positionnement de la région de l’Est en matière d’éducation en lien avec celui des autres régions conforte ce postulat (H. Ngonga, 2010). Or des études ont montré depuis T. Schultz (1961) et J. Mincer (1974) que l’éducation permet de modifier les caractéristiques des individus, leur position sur le marché du travail et son influence dans les rapports de force existant entre les différents groupes sociaux. S’appuyant sur une analyse documentaire sur la période (1960-2022), cet article vise à : (1) analyser l’évolution historique de l’éducation dans la région de l’Est-Cameroun ; (2) évaluer l’incidence de cette évolution sur le niveau d’instruction et le développement social et, (3) identifier les défis et les perspectives à relever qui peuvent faire de cette région une locomotive en matière d’éducation et de développement au Cameroun.

Cet article examine l'inclusion scolaire des élèves présentant des troubles neurodéveloppementaux (TND) à Lomé. Il met en lumière le niveau de connaissance des enseignants du préscolaire et du primaire sur ces troubles. Les données ont été recueillies grâce à un questionnaire administré à 92 enseignants. Les résultats de l’étude révèlent une lacune significative dans les connaissances des enseignants concernant les TND. Ceux-ci ont peu de connaissances sur les manifestations des TND et les pratiques à mettre en place afin de favoriser un environnement inclusif aux élèves à besoins spéciaux. L’étude met en évidence un besoin urgent de sensibilisation et de formation pour aider les enseignants à mieux comprendre et soutenir les élèves présentant des TND dans le cadre de l'inclusion scolaire.
