Books about postdramatic theatre
Authors: Kotelevskaya Vera V.
Published: May 2021

The review considers three books on post-dramatic theatre (in various studies it is also called anti-mimetic, radical, post-modern theatre, metatheatre, etc.). Different concepts of post-dramatic theatre are brought together by what may be considered as experiments per se, overcoming or problematizing genre and media boundaries, neutralizing binary oppositions, such as subject – object, playwright – director, platform – hall, actor – character, etc. I analyze the concept of H.-T. Lehmann (“Postdramatic theatre: 1999), who argues concerning the main feature of the “radical theatre” in weakening the connection with the text of the play, “re-theatricalization”, and rejection of the mimesis. For E. Fischer-Lichte (“Ästhetik des Performativen”, 2004 / “The Transformative Power of Performance: A New Aesthetics”, 2008), the main feature of the newest theatre is “performativity” – the production of aesthetic meaning within the event of a performance, and not in the perception of an artifact by an observing subject. The criteria for the so called “performative turn” in drama and theatre, which, according to Fischer-Lichte, are self-reference, materiality, bodily contact, the liminality of aesthetic experience, and the transformation of the spectator. The neoconservative point of view of G. Stadelmaier (“Director’s Theatre. On the Scenes of the Spirit of the Times”, 2016), which expresses nostalgia for the tradition, is considered as polemic in respect to the innovations of the post-drama

Authors: Ahmed Abdullah
Published: May 2021

This study sought to determine the effects of supply chain management practices on customer satisfaction and retention in major retails food companies located in Southern Region of Saudi Arabia. Data collection was done by survey using questionnaire. The number of samples is 208 employees, with the method of convenient sampling. The method of analysis in this study is the multiple linear regression analysis, with SSPS testing reliability and normality, correlation, hypothesis testing, simultaneous effect and the coefficient of determination.  The results find a statistically significant and positive relationship between strategic supplier partnership (SSP), customer relationship (CR), Level of information sharing (LIS), level of information quality (LIQ) postponement practice (PP) and customer satisfaction (CS). However, the relationship between Customer Relationship (CR) and customer satisfaction (CS) is considered statistically non-significant and negative. Furthermore, customer satisfaction (CS) is a good predictors of customer retention (CRe).  This finding can be used implementatively for management to improve the elements supporting the strengthening of supply chain management practices and increasing customer satisfaction and retention in the retail food companies. Nonetheless, the findings of the study help companies to improve the quality of their services, products, and treat customers as their first priority in order to be retained them. Therefore, theses guide customers to recommend the firms to others. The results identify the influence of supply chain management practices on the customer satisfaction and retention according to the food retail sector in Saudi Arabia.
Measuring Mass Attenuation Coefficient and Elemental Composition for Egbeda Soil Series of Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Ademola Fajemiroye, Joseph
Published: May 2021

Information from workers on the profitability of cassava on Iwo and Egbeda soil series in Oyo state, Nigeria have shown the Iwo soil series to be more profitable given the same scale of cassava cultivation. Therefore the need arises to improve on the soil properties of Egbeda soil series which will possibly improve the production efficiency for this category of farmers. In this work, an experimental procedure using gamma attenuation technique to determine the mass attenuation coefficient at different gamma ray energies of 59.5, 661.7, 1173.2 and 1332.5 keV, and at depths of 0 – 15, 15 – 30, 30 – 45, 45 – 60, 60 – 75 and 75 – 90 cm into the Egbeda soil series profile have been studied. Likewise X-ray fluorescence, XRF, method was used to obtain the elemental composition and concentrations at these depths while the XCOM software was applied to obtain the photon mass attenuation coefficients at the different gamma ray energies for the depths. Mass attenuation coefficients,  obtained experimentally and that computed theoretically using XCOM varied exponentially with photon energy. The correlation coefficient between the experimentally-obtained and XCOM-obtained μs for the energies considered ranged from 0.89 – 0.96. The variation of  with soil depth show that the top soil (0 – 15cm depths) is least attenuating with gamma ray penetrability varying down the profile. Information on the mass attenuation coefficients, elemental composition, and concentrations at varying depths into the soil profile will go a long way in contributing to efforts at improving the soil condition of the Egbeda soil series.

Virtual Reality (VR) is an innovation that enables a client to collaborate with a computer-mimicked climate, regardless of whether that climate is a recreation of this present reality or a conjured universe. It is the way to find, feel and contact with the past, the present and what is to come. It is the vehicle to make our own reality, our own altered reality. It could go from making a computer game to taking a virtual tour of the universe, from wandering through our own fantasy house to finding a walk on a strange planet. With computer-generated reality, we can meet the most frightening and boring circumstances by playing safe and with a learning point of view.

SOCIO-HEALTH DETERMINANTS OF OCCURRENCE OF POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGEPostpartum hemorrhage is the blood loss of 500 ml or more within 24 hours after birth. It is the number one direct cause of maternal mortality Worldwide and constitutes 73% of all the obstetric hemorrhage globally. In Low-income Countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa bears the greatest burden of postpartum hemorrhage. Thirty-four percent of maternal deaths occurring in Kenya are due to postpartum hemorrhage. In Homa Bay County, postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality contributing 38% of all maternal deaths despite several strategies by the ministry of health to reduce occurrence. Previous studies attribute this to poor provision and utilization of essential health services. The possible contextual contribution of health system management on occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage has not been explored in the County. The objective of this study was to establish the socio-health determinants of occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage among women of reproductive age 15-49 years in Homa Bay County. The specific objectives were: to identify the socio-demographic determinants of occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage among women of reproductive age; and to determine the personal health determinants of occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage among women of reproductive age. This was a cross-sectional study design in which qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The target population was postnatal women who delivered at the level four public hospitals in Homa Bay County. The sample size was 400 postnatal women. Quantitative data was collected using a structured for socio-demographics determinants, and personal health determinants. Qualitative data was collected using Key Informant Interview guides administered to the eight Sub County Medical Officers of Health and the one County Gynecologist and was recorded. This data was managed thematically while quantitative data was cleaned manually and electronically. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data processing and analysis. The first stage was processing and analysis involving computation of frequencies and percentages and generation of tables followed by the binary logistic regression for bivariate variables to determine the relationship, adjusted Odds Ratio to determine the degree of significance at a confidence interval of 95% and P-value for each category of the variables. Thematic approach guided the analysis of qualitative data. Socio-health determinants were found statistically significant with multiple logistic regression chi-square 62.08 (P-Value=0.01.

Evaluating the Challenges and Opportunities of the Use of Military Diplomacy in Intrastate Conflict Management in the Horn of Africa
Authors: Imbiakha Charles Okongo , Godfrey Okoth Pontian , Maloba Were Edmond
Published: May 2021

Military diplomacy is increasingly relied on in the management of intra state conflicts globally. Far more common and controversial is the issue of combat troops to help end fighting in an intractable conflict. The Horn of Africa is an epitome of intractable regional intrastate conflicts   that have attracted international, regional and even individual state military and humanitarian intervention since the 1970s. The Somalia and Sudan crises provide typical examples in which such efforts have been witnessed yet they also provide a case study of successful military diplomacy by African states in states engaged in protracted intra-state conflicts. This study was conceived to evaluate the challenges and opportunities of the use of military diplomacy in intrastate conflict management in the Horn of Africa. The study was located in the rational logic theory. It was carried out among peace groups and individuals who had participated in peace processes in the Horn of Africa. These were located in Mogadishu and Kismayu, Khartoum and Juba and embassies in Kenya that represent the Horn of Africa countries. Security personnel who have had a role in the Horn of Africa peace processes at African Union (AU), Inter - Governmental Authority on Development  (IGAD), East Africa Standby Force (EASF), United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), United Nations Africa (Union) Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) and African (Union) Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) were key informants. The study used purposive sampling and snowballing to determine the sample size. Data was collected using interview schedules and questionnaires which were analyzed using Concurrent Nested (Embedded) Design. Secondary data were gathered and reviewed from Journals, books and published proceedings that corroborated the primary data. The findings indicate that the obscurity of the military and the rubric in the understanding of military diplomacy poses a challenge for the military to influence intrastate conflicts in the Horn of Africa. This is compounded by other challenges including the Cold War mentality that has made the region to witness a series of foreign activities leading to militarization of the Horn of Africa with establishment of military bases in the Horn of Africa. Peace support operations are expensive to manage yet the missions undertaken in the Horn of Africa lack sustainable source of funds and instead over rely on foreign funding and goodwill. With no sufficient funds, buying equipment and paying the staff becomes a big challenge. Emerging threats and clan dynamics are actualities that the use of military diplomacy was found to face as a challenge. To change these challenges into opportunities requires rational logic from all stakeholders in the conflict management process

Published: May 2021

Social work seen as important for preventing epidemic diseases, especially in times of crisis, however, evidence of this importance is still scarce, especially in the developing world. We addressed this by studying the role of medical social work in raising awareness of preventing epidemic diseases, and an analytical and descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among Saudi social workers and consumers (102). It aims at the extent to which the social worker knows the nature of epidemic diseases. And defining the preventive role of social workers in raising awareness of preventive diseases. The premise is that there is a significant reciprocal relationship between them. Non-probability fit sampling has been implemented; A self-administered questionnaire was developed during the COVID20 virus for the year 2020, it was tested and filled out by 102 male and female social workers, and the results showed that the total weights and percentage of the social worker’s knowledge of the dimensions of epidemic diseases are (3022), (89.70%) respectively and the role of the specialist Social awareness in raising awareness of the preventive disease dimension (3309), (83.2%), respectively, was associated with a strong positive correlation with compliance among respondents, in addition to the study's observation of the relationship between socio-demographic background and study dimensions T. Not significant at the 0.05 level (2 tailed) ( Age, experience, gender, marital status, and residence).

Published: May 2021

Dogs are always identified as a subspecies of a wolf, but the history of its existence is still unsolved. Though many researchers stated the origin of dogs came from the wolf fossil found in Europe several years ago. If the history of domestication is analysed, then it can be said that dogs are the first species to be domesticated on the Earth. In the past few decades’ dogs’ evolution and its involvement in humans life is so meteoric that they became a part of our lives. Dog being the most trustworthy and socialised species on this planet made humans to domesticate them in fields for various activities. This became one of the major reasons to boost economy as well as to develop ones physical and mental condition. Similar to the humans, dogs also have a great list of requirements on basis of their physical and psychological conditions which made it possible to design a dwelling for a dogs living. Sir. BRUCE FOGLE in his book “THE DOGS MIND-Understand Your Dogs Behaviour” explained about the anatomy, physiology and the psychology of a dog.Architecture is all about designing a life and this paper would be an endeavour to design spaces for dogs to strengthen their relationship with humans and environment.
The Dynamics of tropical forest ecosystem with special reference to gap dynamics, regeneration and succession
Authors: Menon A. R. R.
Published: May 2021

The ecosystem stability in forests is highly dependent on ecological efficiency of species to the changed habitat. Thus, in forest ecosystems, the biodiversity change, interruption of migration patches, changes in soil profile, changes in habitat and watershed, and changes in wildlife status etc are the major impacts of climate change. The forest canopy is not homogenous and dense canopy cover is often interspaced with openings, where tree saplings along with shrubby vegetation co-exist. The species in the openings or fewer dens region determining the forest structure for a very long time because of the long span of tree maturity phase, sometimes centuries. New species seedlings occupy the canopy openings, most of them are light demanding, and establish the community at the risk of shade loving species present under dense canopy region. This building phase of forest is the most important part of the life cycle. The survival of seedlings and transformation to the sapling stage can be more complex due to long-term environmental factors. The regeneration dynamics of the tropical forest ecosystem is poorly understood. The details are discussed in the paper.

WhatsApp: Communication between Parents and Kindergarten Teachers in the Digital Era
Authors: Aviva Dan , Simon Eitan
Published: May 2021

The technological revolution has filtered into the field of education and among other things, affects communication between parents and teachers in schools and in kindergartens. A digital method for interpersonal communications enables the immediate transfer of messages to a large number of recipients, which is efficient and ensures transparency of actions and policies. The WhatsApp application is now widely used in correspondence between parents and schools, including in kindergartens. The research investigated how kindergarten teachers in Israel use the social media "WhatsApp" in communication with their parents. Using a quantitative research approach, a specially designed questionnaire was distributed online as a Google.docs document to 161 kindergarten teachers in the North of Israel. The kindergarten teachers reported that they were open to change and willing to adopt new technologies that can help them in their work. However, it appears that the main adoption and use of the WhatsApp tool is for the transmission of information or kindergarten experiences to the parents. The kindergarten teachers felt that the WhatsApp application was advantageous due to its easy accessibility and speed of communication and testified to more sharing and involvement of the parents in the kindergarten activities and work. Nevertheless, several questions led to concerns about the mutual availability of the information that is transmitted, the type of information, and the extent of need for the use of this tool in the present era.

Authors: Dushime Eunice , Muathe Stephen , Kavindah Lucy
Published: May 2021

Entrepreneurial innovation is acknowledged as a key driver for improving the productivity of small and medium-sized enterprises. The effect of innovation on performance has been extensively researched, but many have overlooked small and medium-sized enterprises and government regulations. This paper provides a study of the current theoretical and empirical literature on entrepreneurial innovation constructs, government regulations and small and medium enterprise performance. The study's specific objectives have been to discuss the main concepts of entrepreneurial innovation, government regulation and performance related to small and medium-size firms. It also aims to establish theories that link entrepreneurial innovation and government regulations; to recommend a conceptual and methodological framework to guide future studies on the identified knowledge gaps. The study was anchored by a resource based view theory supported by dynamic capability theory, Schumpeterâ€™s innovation theory. The study was a review of previous research on entrepreneurial innovation and firm performance. These studies seem to have centered on a direct link between innovation and performance, according to the results. Thus, it is recommended that further research incorporate the small and medium enterprise context to highlight how entrepreneurial innovation affects these enterprises and the moderating variable of government regulations.

Authors: Sanchez Soren R. , Chua Liza , Melgar Rogaciano B.
Published: May 2021

This paper focuses on exploring the lived experiences of inclusive education teachers handling students with intellectual disability in terms of their stressors, coping mechanisms, fulfilling experiences, and opportunities. A mixed method using questionnaire and one-on-one interview were employed in gathering the needed quantitative and qualitative data from the 13 purposively chosen respondents. Frequency and simple weighted mean were used in interpreting the quantitative data, while the Groenewaldâ€™s process of phenomenological analysis was employed to extract themes from the qualitative data. Results revealed that the studentsâ€™ behavioral issues were the only potential stressors of the inclusive teachers. They coped via using cognitive, social, and physical coping resources. Studentsâ€™ positive transformations, understanding the child through team teaching, and road to salary augmentation were the themes generated as their fulfilling experiences and opportunities. It is recommended that schools offering inclusive education should equip their teachers with pedagogical knowledge in handling the behavioral issues of students with special needs through providing relevant trainings.

Pour corriger ce dÃ©sÃ©quilibre, les groupements des femmes de lâ€™arrondissement de Kataba 1 instituent des blocs maraichers comme stratÃ©gie de rÃ©silience. Câ€™est dans cette perspective que cette Ã©tude se propose de faire une caractÃ©risation des pÃ©rimÃ¨tres maraichers des femmes dans lâ€™arrondissement de Kataba 1. Elle a Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©e sur la base des enquÃªtes socioÃ©conomiques, menÃ©es auprÃ¨s de 140 producteurs rÃ©partis dans 73 blocs maraichers (soit 53,3% des blocs) appartenant Ã  53 villages. Les enquÃªtes ont rÃ©vÃ©lÃ© que 36,62% des productrices se trouvent sur la tranche dâ€™Ã¢ge 40 - 50 ans. Les superficies emblavÃ©es contenant 19 spÃ©culations maraichÃ¨res varient de 0,01 Ã  7,5 ha, . Le fertilisant le plus utilisÃ© est le fumier avec lâ€™application dâ€˜une dose deux (2) bassines par planche de 10 m2 . Toutefois, les cultures sont attaquÃ©es par de nombreux bioagresseurs qui occasionnent chaque annÃ©e des pertes importantes de rÃ©coltes. Pour lutter contre ces ennemis de culture, les producteurs adoptent selon les moyens disposÃ©s, deux types de traitements phytosanitaires Ã  savoir lâ€™usage des produits chimiques de synthÃ¨se dâ€™une part et lâ€™application dâ€™extraits naturels.
 
Sub-Saharan Africa is marked by widespread food insecurity at the beginning of the 21st century, both in rural and city areas. To correct this imbalance, women's groups in the Kataba 1 borough are instituting market garden blocks as a resilience strategy. It is with this in mind that the study carried out in the district of Kataba 1 proposes to make a characterization of the market garden perimeters of the area. It was carried out on the basis of surveys of 140 producers in 73 winery blocks (or 53.3% 2 blocks) belonging to 53 villages. Surveys revealed that 36.62% of produccers are on the 40- to 50-year age group. With areas ranging from 0.01 to 7.5 ha, 19 market garden speculations were noted in the area. In addition, the most commonly used fertilizer is manure in doses of two (2) basins per 10 m2 board. However, crops are attacked by many enemies who cause significant crop losses each year. To combat these enemies, producers adopt two types of treatments, namely treatments with chemicals and those with natural products, according to the means available.
Sociocultural Determinants of Alcohol Abuse by Youths in Luanda Sub-county, Vihiga County, Kenya
Authors: Matara Clifford M. , Winga Maureen A.
Published: May 2021

The WHO (2014a) indicates that 3.3 million deaths (5.9%) of all global deaths annually are attributable to alcohol abuse; with 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury attributable to alcohol abuse. Alcohol is the most abused substance with the most affected persons being youth. In Kenya, prevalence of alcohol abuse by youths aged 18-35 years was 17.6% against the national average of the general populace which is at 13.6%. In the year 2017 Luanda sub-county recorded 635 reported cases of alcohol abuse with the administrators. Of the 635 reported cases in Luanda, 71 (11.18%) cases were of under 18 years, 192 (30.24%) were elderly (above 35 years) while 372 (58.58%) were aged 18-35 years. The objective of this study was to assess parental, peer, spousal and cultural influences of alcohol abuse by youths in Luanda Sub-county. A total of 422 respondents derived using Fischerâ€™s formula were involved. Multi-stage sampling was done at sub-locations, villages and households to obtain respondents. Questionnaires featuring Audit tool score and Focus Group Discussions were used to collect data. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was employed to determine the likelihood of alcohol abuse. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis method. The socio-cultural factors associated with alcohol abuse were: parental alcohol use (p=0.000), peer influence (p =0.000), spousal alcohol use (p=0.035). The multivariate analysis showed significant association between alcohol abuse and spousal alcohol use (p=0.035 OR =0.462 [0.223 -0.955]), parental use of alcohol (p=0.000 OR=28.667 [15.516-52.965]) and peers (p=0.000 OR=10.012 [3.424-29.273]).

Colon cancer is cancer that begins in the large intestine. It usually begins as small, non cancerous clumps that form inside the colon. It typically affects older adults and can occur at any age. The aim of this study is to investigate the histopathological changes of the colon of rats experimentally induced with cadmium chloride as well as the anticancer effect of the ethanolic extract of Curcuma longa. Thirty six healthy albino rats of both sexes were classified into six groups with each group comprising of five rats as follows ; group I: normal control rats, group 2: Cadmium Chloride induced rats, group 3: Aduracil-5 fluorouracil treated rats, Group 4: dimethyl sulfuroxide treated rats, groups 5 and 6 rats were treated with 875mg/kg and 437.5mg/kg of Curcuma ethanolic extracts respectively after initial induction of cancer with cadmium chloride. Comparative observation of the cadmium induced colon showed histopathological damage as evidenced by empty goblet cells, lacerated and suppressed mucosa, destruction of the surface epithelium, features which were lacking in the control and Curcuma longa treated colon. Curcuma treated colon exhibited marked improvement of the histomorphology whilst cadmium treated colon clearly showed tumor cells, cancer cells or invasive inflammatory cells. Adruracil-5fluorouracil{an established anti colon cancer drugs} treated colon showed mild improvement in the histomorphology of the colon while the dimethyl sulfuroxide treated colon revealed an insignificant impact. The ameliorative effect on rat colon occasioned by administration of Curcuma ethanolic extract suggests that the plant product may have therapeutic activity against colon inflammation in albino rats.

A travers une approche mixte, cette recherche sâ€™est appuyÃ©e sur des techniques aussi bien quantitatives que qualitatives fondÃ©es sur la mÃ©thodologie des reprÃ©sentations sociales. Un questionnaire a Ã©tÃ© adressÃ© Ã  200 participants souffrant dâ€™asthme en utilisant des questions relevant du modÃ¨le explicatif et des items reprÃ©sentationnels. Ce questionnaire a Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ© sur la base de lâ€™entretien effectuÃ© au prÃ©alable avec 31 personnes souffrant dâ€™asthme. Les rÃ©sultats indiquent que 97,5% des participants souffrant dâ€™asthme incriminent principalement lâ€™inhalation de la poussiÃ¨re et la fumÃ©e qui pÃ©nÃ¨trent dans leur domicile. Leurs propres pratiques et habitudes au sein du mÃ©nage sont peu Ã©voquÃ©es.
 
Owing to its impact on populationsâ€™ health, indoor air pollution represents a public health issue. This study aims to establish a relationship between the representations that asthma sufferers have of indoor air pollution and the social practices they adopt accordingly, especially within their household. In doing so, this study resorted to a mixed approach including both quantitative and qualitative techniques based on the methodology of social representations. Making use of questions related to the explanatory model and representational items, a questionnaire was administered to 200 asthma patients. This questionnaire was designed on the basis of the interview conducted beforehand with 31 participants. Results suggest that 97.5% of interviewed asthma patients essentially blame inhaling (outdoor) dust and smoke that enter their home. Little is mentioned about their own lifestyle (practices and habits).

Les rÃ©sultats montrent que la commune de Bingerville est moyennement vulnÃ©rable Ã  lâ€™inondation. Cependant, certains quartiers situÃ©s principalement au centre de la commune et en zones pÃ©riphÃ©riques et certains villages situÃ©s en bordure de lagune tels que Anan et AkandjÃ¨ prÃ©sentent de fortes vulnÃ©rabilitÃ©s Ã  lâ€™inondation. Cette information scientifique oriente des prises de dÃ©cisions par les autoritÃ©s en charge de la gestion de la commune dans la prÃ©vention et la prise en charge des crises dâ€™inondation.
 
This study aims to highlight potentially floodable areas or areas at risk of flooding in the town of Bingerville (East of the district of Abidjan) in a context of rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, for an integrated and sustainable management of its space. The methodological approach used consisted in combining the techniques of multicriteria analysis, and geographic information systems. Five parameters including slope, land use, drainage density, population density and anthropogenic factors were used in this study. Then, weights were attributed to these parameters through Saatyâ€™s multi-criteria method (AHP). The vulnerability to flood was categorized into five classes (very low, low, medium, high and very high) by using GIS. The results show that the commune of Bingerville is moderately vulnerable to flooding. However, some neighborhoods located mainly in the center of the commune and in peripheral areas and some villages located on the edge of the lagoon such as Anan and AkandjÃ© are highly vulnerable to flooding. This scientific information is used to guide decision-making by the authorities in charge of managing the commune in the prevention and management of flood crises.

Dans le prÃ©sent travail, une Ã©tude minÃ©ralogique et cartographique chimique des calcaires lumachelliques de lâ€™OligocÃ¨ne infÃ©rieur du bassin Ã©mergÃ© de CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire a Ã©tÃ© effectuÃ©e. Les analyses ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©es au M.E.B, Ã©quipÃ© dâ€™un spectromÃ¨tre Ã  diffusion dâ€™Ã©nergie. Lâ€™objectif est de comprendre les processus post-diagÃ©nÃ©tiques qui se sont produits dans les calcaires lumachelliques au cours de la transgression de lâ€™OligocÃ¨ne infÃ©rieur. Les rÃ©sultats ont montrÃ© que les calcaires lumachelliques sont composÃ©s de plus de 80% de calcium qui sont accompagnÃ©s par ordre dâ€™abondance de silicium (6,73%), de soufre (1,94%), de fer (1,62%), dâ€™aluminium (1,57%) et de magnÃ©sium (1,44%). Les rÃ©sultats rÃ©vÃ¨lent Ã©galement quâ€™au cours de la transgression de lâ€™OligocÃ¨ne infÃ©rieur, des inclusions minÃ©ralogiques ont Ã©tÃ© formÃ©es dans lâ€™ordre chronologique suivant : la glauconite et la pyrite. Durant cette transgression une silicification (quartzification) de certains bioclastes sâ€™est produite et cela entre les profondeurs 3000 m et la zone de compensation des carbonates (CDD) expliquant ainsi la prÃ©sence de silice dans ces calcaires par la micro-cartographie chimique. Ce nouvel environnement de dÃ©pÃ´t (marin profond) a occasionnÃ© encroÃ»tement de leur surface donnant ainsi un hardground.
 
In the present work, a mineralogical and chemical cartographic study of shelly limestones from the Lower Oligocene of CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire Ivorian emerged basin was carried out. The analyzes were realized under a scanning microscope which is equipped with an energy diffusion spectrometer (SEMEDS). The objective is to understand the post-diagenetic processes which occurred in shelly limestones during Lower Oligocene Transgression. The results showed that shelly limestones are composed of more than 80% of calcium which are accompanied in order of abundance of silicon (6.73), sulfur (1.94%), iron (1.62%), aluminum (1.57%) and magnesium (1.44%). The results also reveal during the Lower Oligocene Transgression, mineralogical inclusions were formed in chronological order: glauconite and pyrite. During this transgression, silicification (quartzification) of some bioclasts occurred between depths 3000 m and calcite compensation depth (CCD) explaining the presence of silica in these limestones by chemical micro-mapping. This new marine deposit (deeper sea) has caused the formation of hard-ground on shelly limestones surface.

Le rhabdomyosarcome est une tumeur maligne mÃ©senchymateuse de l'enfant et de l'adolescent. Il reprÃ©sente 5% de l'ensemble des tumeurs solides Ã  ces Ã¢ges. Cette tumeur est rare chez l'adulte et exceptionnelle chez le sujet Ã¢gÃ©. Les localisations les plus frÃ©quentes sont la tÃªte, le cou et l'appareil urinaire. Peu d'Ã©tudes rapportent des localisations rÃ©tropÃ©ritonÃ©ales et l'atteinte primitive du muscle iliopsoas a Ã©tÃ© exceptionnellement dÃ©crite dans la littÃ©rature. Les auteurs rapportent une nouvelle observation d'une patiente de 65 ans prÃ©sentant un rhabomyosarcome alvÃ©olaire de l'iliopsoas gauche.
 
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor in children and adolescents. It represents 5% of all solid tumors at these ages. This tumor is rare in adults and exceptional in the elderly. The most frequent localizations are the head, the neck, and the urinary tract. Few studies reported retroperitoneal emplacements, and primary involvement of the iliopsoas muscle has been described exceptionally. This paper focuses on reporting a new observation of a 65-year-old patient with alveolar rhabomyosarcoma of the left iliopsoas.
Prevention of vaginal vault prolapse occurrences post vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy. An evidence based case report.
Authors: Djusad Suskhan
Published: May 2021

Objectives: To determine efficacy of the procedures which were performed during hysterectomy in preventing any complication, in the form of vaginal vault prolapse.Materials and Methods: Articles were searched through the databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO-host, and Cochrane Library; resulting in three full text articles which were relevant to be critically reviewed. Those articles then were critically reviewed based on validity, importance, and applicability based on critical review tools from University of Oxford Centre-for Evidence Based Medicine (CEBM) 2011.Results: Findings from the articles showed that prevention procedures during hysterectomy such as McCall culdoplasty, Shull suspension, laparoscopic USP and ULS were effective in preventing future vaginal vault prolapse in women who underwent hysterectomy. Among the four procedures; McCall culdoplasty and Shull suspension provide the highest efficacy as prevention procedures. Other than that, both methods were capable to increase quality of life and sexual function post hysterectomy.Conclusion: Vaginal vault prolapse prevention procedures such as McCall culdoplasty, Shull suspension, laparoscopic USP and ULS were effective in preventing a vaginal vault prolapse. However, additional literatures are needed to support the utilization of these methods in clinical setting.

ABSTRACT: Epidural catheter rupture is a condition rarely described in the literature, being considered rare. The reports on the subject present discussions about the possible causes and consequences in the anesthetic act. Discussions about complications are even rarer, of which neurological symptoms, pain, inflammation, root avulsion or infectious complications. Thus, this clinical case describes an event of epidural catheter rupture in a patient during preoperative analgesia, treated by surgery. Data were obtained through a review of the medical record, interview with the patient, photographic record of the diagnostic methods and review of the literature. Patient A. C., female, 28 years old, 55 kg, 1.64 m, GIPI, with previous history of pain in right hypochondrium, associated with nausea and vomiting, diagnosed with choledocholithiasis and taken to the surgical center for conventional cholecystectomy. During insertion of the catheter for anesthesia in the thoracic epidural space, the patient reported paresthesia in the right lower limb. When withdrawing needle-catheter assembly under resistance, there was rupture of the same. It was decided to perform imaging tests, which showed a catheter fragment in the computed axial tomography. Since the patient was symptomatic, an emergency surgical procedure was performed.

A neoplasia de vesícula biliar é uma patologia que, apesar de rara, possui prognóstico sombrio e terapêutica limitada. O diagnóstico pré-operatório muitas vezes é negligenciado e sua confirmação se dá somente na análise histopatológica pós-operatória. O cirurgião e o patologista responsáveis pelo caso devem trabalhar em sintonia, sempre atentos ao diagnóstico de neoplasia.

Objetivo: A anemia falciforme é a doença hereditária de maior prevalência no Brasil. Embora seja conhecida há séculos, ainda não há um tratamento específico e os portadores da doença são frequentemente polimedicados. Portanto, a farmacoterapia representa um recurso terapêutico primordial na anemia falciforme e o seu prolongamento associa-se com a cronicidade e gravidade da doença. Dessa forma, a quantidade de medicamentos no esquema posológico, as doses diárias dos fármacos, as diferentes formas farmacêuticas, o total de doses por dia, as relações da dose com a alimentação, as orientações específicas para utilização dos medicamentos são características do regime terapêutico frequentemente prescrito aos indivíduos com anemia falciforme que acarretam na complexidade de sua farmacoterapia. O objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar o Índice de Complexidade da Farmacoterapia (ICFT) na anemia falciforme. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo transversal envolvendo indivíduos com diagnóstico de anemia falciforme, sob tratamento medicamentoso, atendidos num centro de hemoterapia. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram entrevistas semiestruturadas e prontuário médico. As variáveis analisadas foram o perfil farmacoterapêutico, sociodemográfico e laboratorial. A quantificação da complexidade do regime terapêutico foi realizada conforme o Índice da Complexidade da Farmacoterapia. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes do estudo eram homens 5 (60%), ao passo que somente 40% eram mulheres. O valor do ICFT obtido foi de 6,11 sugerindo baixa complexidade da farmacoterapia e alta adesão ao tratamento farmacológico. Os principais fatores associados à complexidade da terapêutica farmacológica foi o número de medicamentos que os indivíduos faziam uso.  Conclusões: Em suma, o presente estudo revelou que a simplificação dos regimes terapêuticos, proporciona uma melhor adesão ao tratamento farmacológico com consequente melhoria da qualidade de vida do indivíduo.
