Authors: Kamaga T.D. , Ajavon D.R.D. , Dadjo S. , Hinson A.V.
Published: November 2024

Introduction : Le stress professionnel est une réponse d'adaptation face à une série d'événements au travail qui peuvent être plus ou  moins contraignants. Le stress professionnel est parfois nécessaire afin d’augmenter les performances de l’individu. Cependant lorsqu’il  n’arrive pas à s’adapter à son environnement, ou qu’il soit dépassé dans sa capacité à faire face aux contraintes, des répercussions sont  observées sur l’individu. Le métier de sages femmes est l’un des métiers les plus touchés.
Objectif : Cette étude a pour objectif de  décrire le profil épidémiologique du stress professionnel chez les sages femmes.
Méthode : Il s’est agi d’une étude transversale à visée  descriptive qui s’est déroulée sur une période de 3 mois allant du 04 avril 2023 au 04 juillet 2023. Ont été inclues dans l’étude toutes les  sages femmes exerçant leur profession quel que soit l’ancienneté dans la profession et acceptant volontairement de participer à l’étude.  Les données ont été recueillies dans les services de gynécologie obstétrique du CHU SO, CHU Kara, CHU campus et CHR Kara à l’aide d’une fiche d’enquête anonyme. Les données ont été traitées grâce au logiciel Epi Info 7.2.2.6, Microsoft Word et SPSS (Statistical Package  for the Social Sciences).
Résultats : au total, 38 sages femmes ont participé à l’étude. L’âge moyen des sages femmes était de  36,23 ± 8,32 ans avec des extrêmes de 23 ans et 57 ans. La prévalence du jobstrain chez les sages femmes était de 50%. Les postes de  travail les plus retrouvés étaient la salle d’accouchement (26,3%) et les suites de couches (21,1%). La pratique du sport, la consommation  de somnifères et la prise d’alcool représentaient respectivement 71,1%, 21% et 5,3% des cas. Les sages femmes ressentaient de l’épuisement dans 65,8% des cas. Elles jugeaient leurs métiers moyennement pénibles dans 57,9% des cas.
Conclusion : Le stress  professionnel est une réalité dans le métier des sages femmes. La mise en œuvre d’actions de prévention permettra de réduire les conséquences du stress sur les sages femmes, dans les services de gynécologie obstétrique, et dans la société.
Social capital and gender inequality among rural elderly in Bangladesh: A micro-survey perspective
Authors: Mustafizur Rahman K.M. , Islam Khan Md. A. , Islam Rabiul
Published: November 2024

This paper explored the dynamics of gender inequality among the elderly, particularly in the context of social capital. A cross-sectional  survey is employed targeting individuals aged 60 and above in rural areas of Bangladesh. Initially, one union (Tentulia Union) in Manda  Upazila was selected, followed by five wards from that union using a simple random sampling method. Subsequently, data were collected from 404 elderly individuals in the selected wards using probability proportion to size (PPS) sampling. Findings show that females are  more likely to experience weaker social capital compared to their male counterparts. This gender disparity in social capital has significant  implications for the well-being of elderly women. Weak social capital can lead to increased feelings of loneliness, social isolation, and a  lack of access to social support, all of which are critical factors in the mental and physical health of the elderly population. Therefore,  addressing gender inequality in social capital among the elderly is crucial for promoting equitable aging and enhancing the overall  quality of life for the elderly.

Numérique et environnement : quels enjeux à l’heure de la transition écologique ? (Synthèse bibliographique)
Authors: Tshiebue Grégoire Ngalamulume
Published: November 2024

Description du sujet. L’interaction entre le numérique et l’environnement est souvent diversement commentée. Certains considèrent le numérique comme ayant une empreinte écologique considérable et par conséquent influant négativement sur l’environnement, alors que d’autres pensent que le numérique a des bienfaits à offrir à l’environnement de manière générale.Littérature. Cet article essaie d’analyser les enjeux autour de la relation entre le numérique et l’environnement, notamment les divers impacts environnementaux des technologies numériques d’une part, et de réfléchir sur des pistes d’actions pour la réduction de la part négative de l’impact du numérique sur l’environnement, d’autre part. Cela permettrait de faire du numérique un outil important d’aide à la transition écologique.Conclusion. Pour que les transitions numérique et écologique parviennent à s’articuler entre elles de manière souhaitable et que la transition numérique ne sacrifie celle écologique, il devient impérieux de concevoir et de mettre en place de nouvelles politiques publiques susceptibles de lisser les divergences et de permettre une interaction harmonieuse entre transition écologique et transition numérique. Dans ce sens, des stratégies efficaces et des politiques de soutien à l’innovation numérique doivent devenir à la fois plus exigeantes et plus créatives.
Description of the subject. The interaction between digital and the environment is often commented on in different ways. Some consider digital to have a considerable ecological footprint and therefore negatively influence the environment, while others believe that digital has benefits to offer to the environment in general.Literature. Based on both scientific and professional literature, this article attempts to analyze the issues surrounding the relationship between digital and the environment, in particular the various environmental impacts of digital technologies on the one hand, and to reflect on avenues of action for reducing the negative part of the impact of digital on the environment on the other hand. This will make digital an important tool to support the ecological transition.Conclusion. In order for the digital and ecological transitions to be able to articulate themselves in a desirable way and for the digital transition not to sacrifice the ecological transition, it becomes imperative to design and implement new public policies capable of smoothing out the divergences and allowing a harmonious interaction between the ecological transition and the digital transition. In this sense, effective strategies and policies to support digital innovation must become both more demanding and more creative.

Authors: Lubaki Blessing Tuwila
Published: November 2024

Description du sujet. La non-adoption d’une consommation responsable dans les pays en développement fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches en marketing. Et le recours à la célébrité marketing constitue l’une des solutions en faveur de ces consommateurs dont la variable prix sur les marchés compte plus que la qualité du produit.Objectif. L’étude vise promouvoir le comportement écologique des consommateurs de la commune de Nzanza (à Matadi) au Kongo central.Méthodes. Une enquête a été menée du 02 au 25 juillet 2022 auprès de 350 personnes choisies de manière aléatoire dans la commune de Nzanza, dans la ville portuaire de Matadi, au Kongo central. Les informations recueillies ont porté essentiellement sur les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, le comportement écologique et la perception des enquêtés sur le rôle de la célébrité marketing.Résultats. Les résultats de l’enquête ont montré que peu de participants (37 %) avait la notion sur le comportement écologique. La majorité a affirmé que le manque d’un comportement écologique a des incidences négatives sur le milieu de vie et propose la sensibilisation de la communauté par l’utilisation des célébrités (51 %). En ce qui concerne la célébrité, 63 % des enquêtés l’ont déjà entendu parler dans différents domaines de détente (26 % en musique, 22 % au football, 19 % au théâtre, 11 % en activités religieuses, 9 % au cinéma et 8 %.Conclusion. Le recours aux célébrités s’avère donc indispensable pendant les campagnes de sensibilisation sur le comportement écologique.Description of the subject.

This study aims to analyze the suitability of the water parameters of Prigi Bay, Trenggalek as a seaweed cultivation location and get the right strategy in the development of Mutiara Beach ecotourism, Trenggalek Regency. The data collection method carried out is by combining questionnaire dissemination techniques, direct interviews with resource persons, and field observation. The questionnaire procedure was carried out using the slovin method to determine the number of respondents by applying accidental sampling. Field observation procedures were carried out to measure water quality parameters at 4 observation stations. The research was conducted in May 2024. The parameters measured for seaweed cultivation include temperature, brightness, current velocity, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and water depth. The research analysis uses quantitative descriptive with the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) Interpolation technique to analyze data on the suitability of seaweed cultivation locations and supply demand analysis which will later be used as a SWOT analysis to analyze ecotourism strategies. The results of the study on the potential of seaweed cultivation showed that the water temperature ranged from 30⁰ C-31.4⁰ C, brightness 50-142 cm, current velocity 0.08-0.013 m/s, pH 7.22-7.76, salinity 30-32 ppt, dissolved oxygen 9.4 mg/l, and water depth 9-15 m. So based on the thematic map of land suitability, stations 1 & 2 are not suitable for seaweed cultivation while stations 3 & 4 are very suitable for cultivation. Meanwhile, in the ecotourism strategy, the development results are obtained in accordance with the SO strategy. Visitors and managers prioritize advantages and opportunities as an alternative to development.
A Classification Intelligent Question Answering Model for Retrieval-Based Chatbots
Authors: Hung Chihli , Wu Ming-Hsuan
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Intelligent question answering (QA) models or chatbots automatically provide appropriate responses to questions posed by users. In terms of generating continuous responses, they are divided into generative and retrieval-based approaches. For retrieval-based QA models, the key issue is how to reduce the search space. This research focuses on a retrieval-based approach and proposes a classification intelligent question answering (CIQA) model. The CIQA model contains two stages, namely a question classification stage and an answer prediction stage. The first stage consists of building a classification ensemble based on a training set. The second stage uses the first stage classification ensemble to determine the appropriate categories for a test set and selects an appropriate deep learning QA model based on a chosen category. A new benchmark dataset for chatbot, SQuAD (Stanford question answering dataset) 2.0, is used to evaluate performance. Based on the outcome of our experiments, the proposed CIQA model outperforms the baseline model and demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Perfil hormonal e dinâmica do status oxidativo durante cultivo in vitro de endospermas de maracujazeiros com respostas morfogênicas divergentes
Authors:   , Silva Débora Alice Moreira
Published: November 2024

Passiflora edulis Sims e P. cincinnata Mast. são espécies de maracujazeiros que apresentam respostas morfogênicas temporalmente divergentes ao longo do cultivo in vitro de endospermas. Embora existam protocolos bem estabelecidos para ambas as espécies, os processos fisiológicos que regulam essas respostas ainda são pouco compreendidos. Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a morfoanatomia, a dinâmica do status oxidativo e o perfil hormonal de P. edulis e P. cincinnata durante a regeneração de gemas adventícias, buscando entender as diferenças estruturais e bioquímicas entre as espécies. Endospermas de ambas espécies foram desinfestados e inoculados em meio de indução de organogênese, suplementado com 1,0 mg.L⁻¹ de tidiazuron para P. edulis e 2,0 mg.L⁻¹ de benziladenina para P. cincinnata e cultivados em sala de crescimento a 27 ± 2 °C. Amostras foram coletadas pré-cultivo e após 5, 15 e 30 dias de cultivo. Inicialmente, os explantes eram brancos com células isodiamétricas. Aos 5 dias, P. cincinnata começou a formar calos e apresentou coloração esverdeada, características ausentes em P. edulis. Aos 30 dias, P. cincinnata já exibia gemas adventícias diferenciadas, enquanto P. edulis ainda não havia desenvolvido estruturas organogênicas bem definidas. Interessantemente, P. edulis apresentou níveis mais altos de MDA durante todo o processo, enquanto P. cincinnata não apresentou MDA aos 5 dias. O conteúdo de H₂O₂ em P. cincinnata diminuiu aos 5 dias e permaneceu significativamente menor do que em P. edulis. A produção de O₂•⁻ também foi menor em P. cincinnata. As atividades das enzimas antioxidantes POX, APX e SOD variaram entre as espécies, com P. cincinnata apresentando um aumento crescente dessas atividades ao longo do processo regenerativo. Quanto ao perfil hormonal, ambas as espécies mostram redução de IAA ao longo das fases. Em P. cincinnata, houve aumento na concentração de ACC, ZEA e BRA durante a fase de determinação, enquanto P. edulis teve maior atividade de SA na fase inicial em relação a P. cincinnata e de JA durante a fase de determinação. MeJa e ABA permaneceram estáveis em ambas as espécies. Os resultados sugerem que diferenças na produção de EROs, na atividade de enzimas do metabolismo antioxidativo e fitormônios podem estar associadas à diferença espaço-temporal observada no cultivo in vitro de endospermas de P. edulis e P. cincinnata.

Exploring the connection between plant histochemistry and phytochemical prospection in species of Athenaea Sendtn. (Solanaceae)
Authors:   , Santos João Victor da Costa
Published: November 2024

Although morphoanatomical and chemical markers exist for the systematics of Solanaceae, there are gaps in understanding how these traits may influence the recent and substantial changes in the taxonomy of the subtribe Withaninae. Athenaea is the only Latin American genus of this subtribe, which was recently circumscribed. Athenaea species have been the subject of recent pharmacological studies due to the presence of withanolides. These compounds are considered as chemotaxonomic markers in Withaninae. However, there is limited knowledge about their diversity in Athenaea. In Withania somnifera, a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine and phylogenetically related to Athenaea, numerous withanolides with confirmed biological properties have been described. These properties include neurotherapeutic effects that are useful for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). The main goal of this thesis was to investigate the histolocalization of secondary metabolites in the leaves of Athenaea species, their metabolic profile focusing on withanolides and which species may be promising in future biotechnological investigations, especially for cholinesterase inhibition. Additionally, the site of synthesis and accumulation of these and other substances in the cells/tissues of the species was identified. The pharmacological potential of Athenaea extracts was also tested to inhibit enzymes involved in the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) symptoms. Secretory trichomes and idioblasts are the structures specialized in the accumulation of alkaloids, steroids, phenolics and lipids in Athenaea leaves. The morphotypes of the trichomes can help in the distinction of the species. Sixteen withanolides were manually recorded in the biological samples and this is the first report of withanolides for A. brasiliana and Athenaea tomentosa. The diversity and distribution of withanolides allowed us to understand the phylogenetic proximity with other phylogenetically related taxa, such as W. somnifera. Athenaea tomentosa is considered promising because it presents strong inhibition for AChE, for both the dichloromethane (102.2 (± 6.7) %) and ethanolic (93.3 (± 3.6) %) extract. Through the use of standard techniques for anatomical, metabolomic, and phytochemical prospecting, this integrative approach is groundbreaking for Athenaea. The findings have the potential to help resolve taxonomic issues and guide biotechnological research in the Solanaceae family. They could also identify source species of withanolides for future biological studies. KEYWORDS: Alkaloids, Anticholinesterase activity, Histolocalization, Metabolomics, Ontogeny, Phytochemistry, Plant anatomy, Plant chemotaxonomy, Withanolides.
