El Parque temático ‘Hacienda Nápoles’. Turismo y herencia difícil
Authors: Vanden Berghe Kristine
Published: July 2022

La antigua finca de Pablo Escobar, ‘Hacienda Nápoles’ (Puerto Triunfo, Colombia), se convirtió en 2007 en el destino turístico ‘Parque Temático Hacienda Nápoles’ gracias a sus atracciones acuáticas y sus animales exóticos. El Parque también alberga un pequeño museo en torno a la figura de Escobar. Hacemos una radiografía del Parque tal y como se presenta en 2019. Partimos del concepto de ‘herencia difícil’ para explicar la tensión entre la voluntad de borrar el pasado y de aprovecharlo para el turismo. Luego analizamos la narrativa museológica en función de los objetivos que parece asumir el museo al presentarse como un Museo Memorial y apuntamos a las dificultades que suscita su carácter dicotómico, así como su atención exclusiva hacia la violencia subjetiva y la imagen que construye del Estado colombiano.
La beauté des Etats-Unis dans la série télévisée allemande La clinique de la Forêt-Noire (Die Schwarzwaldklinik)
Authors: Rigaux-Pirastru Brigitte
Published: July 2022

La série télévisée ouest-allemande La clinique de la Forêt-Noire, diffusée dans les années 1980, connut un succès phénoménal et reste ancrée aujourd’hui encore dans la mémoire culturelle allemande. Se déroulant essentiellement en Forêt-Noire, elle en célèbre de manière appuyée la beauté des paysages et la qualité de vie. Cette harmonie subsiste pleinement lors du voyage aux Etats-Unis entrepris par le personnage principal. La beauté sans faille de l’Amérique reflète d’une part les solides liens culturels et géopolitiques établis entre la République Fédérale d’Allemagne et les Etats-Unis et, d’autre part, la vision idéalisée qu’en avaient beaucoup de citoyens des deux Allemagnes.
Comment conserver la beauté face à l’avancée de la civilisation ? Le cinéma de Terrence Malick ou la quête du paradis perdu
Authors: Jordan Hugo
Published: July 2022

Cet article vise à étudier la représentation de la beauté de la nature dans le cinéma de Terrence Malick, comme image d’un paradis perdu, rendu impossible par l’avancée de la civilisation. Les cinq premiers films du réalisateur texan sont consacrés à des moments fondateurs de l’histoire des Etats-Unis – l’arrivée des colons anglais, l’industrialisation du pays, la Seconde Guerre Mondiale - durant lesquels l’état de culture prend peu à peu le pas sur l’état de nature. Dès lors, l’enjeu principal de ces films, qui s’attachent à magnifier les territoires états-uniens, consiste à savoir comment l’Homme peut encore entretenir un rapport authentique avec le monde qui l’entoure et s’élever au contact de la nature et de sa beauté.
Beauté de la nature, beauté suprasensible, beauté de l’amour. Une introduction
Authors: Magnin Lucile , Comité de Rédaction d'Amerika
Published: July 2022

Le dossier de ce vingt-quatrième numéro de la revue Amerika a pour thème la beauté de l’Amérique et ses représentations dans les arts visuels, entre le XIXe et le XXIe siècle principalement. Le concept de beauté sera analysé à travers différents regards d’artistes sur l’Amérique. Trois domaines sont concernés en particulier : la peinture, la photographie et le cinéma. Les contributions s’articulent autour de trois thèmes principaux : la beauté du territoire américain perçue à travers un regard étranger ; les paysages américains, sublimes mais menacés par la présence de l’homme ; et le thème de la beauté ambivalente et de son contraire. A la suite du dossier, nous proposons au lecteur nos rubriques habituelles (Mélanges, Opinions/Varias et Comptes-rendus).
Ein Einblick in die archäologischen Befunde von Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne) vom 12. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert [gekürzte Fassung]
Authors: Lefebvre Bastien
Published: July 2022

Im Rahmen einer Untersuchung zur Entstehung der Siedlung südlich der Abtei St. Peter in Moissac fand von 2015 bis 2018 eine Plangrabung statt. Dank der Mächtigkeit der stratigraphischen Schichten, der großen Dichte der Befunde und der hervorrragenden Erhaltung der organischen Materialien im feuchten Untergrund konnte die Dynamik der Besiedlung vom 12. bis zum 19. Jh. nachgezeichnet werden. Ein Hauptergebnis dieser Untersuchung ist der Nachweis, dass die Siedlung sich kaum vor der 2. Hälfte des 12. Jhs. entwickelt hat. Aber auch zu den Häusern und ihren Bewohnern ist der Ertrag reichhaltig: das aus weggeworfenen Stücken bestehende Fundmaterial ist sehr vielfältig, und es wurden ungewöhnliche Befunde freigelegt, wie z. B. eine große Baumkelter aus dem späten 13. Jh.

Zusammenfassung: Die auf der Hochebene Causse du Larzac gelegene Siedlung von Soulages liefert ein bislang unbekanntes Beispiel für eine ländliche Ansiedlung in mittlerer Höhenlage, die sich zwischen dem 6. und 9. Jahrhundert n. Chr. entwickelte. Die Hinterlassenschaften umfassen den gesamten Siedlungsbereich, sowie Gräber der Bewohner. Innerhalb der Ansiedlung waren die Gebäude nach ihrer Funktion angeordnet: die Nebengebäude waren in mit Palisaden umgebenen Bereichen gruppiert, das Hauptwohngebäude lag abgetrennt in höherer Lage. Neben der Lage innerhalb der Ansiedlung ermöglicht es auch die Untersuchung der Bautechniken und der verwendeten Baumaterialien, das Hauptwohngebäude von den Nebengebäuden durch die Verwendung von Stein zu unterscheiden, wobei die Nebengebäude hauptsächlich mit Holzgerüsten und Lehmwänden errichtet wurden. Unter den Bestattungen sind früh verstorbene Kleinkinder überrepräsentiert. Diese Art von Siedlung hat sehr wenig Artefakte geliefert, die jedoch das Leben einer Gemeinschaft in einem neugegründeten Weiler dokumentieren.
A simple pile of bones? The complex functioning of a medieval ossuary in the parish cemetery of Notre-Dame church in Boulogne-sur-mer (Pas-de-Calais) [abridged version]
Authors: Blamangin Olivier , Oudry Sophie , Kacki Sacha
Published: July 2022

Collection and secondary deposition of bones were common funerary practices in mediaeval burial grounds. However, the resulting accumulations of bones rarely benefit from careful archaeological excavations and thorough studies. The recent excavation of an ossuary pit in the parish cemetery of Notre-Dame de Boulogne-sur-Mer yet shows that this type of archaeological feature cannot be reduced to the mere expression of a pragmatic management of human remains. This pit, well dated from the fourteenth century by radiocarbon, was used for the primary burials of four individuals (three young children, of which two were deposited in coffins, and an adult placed in a prone position), thus testifying to the coexistence of two functions, two “intents” and various “funerary phases” in the functioning of the ossuary. The results lead to questioning the meaning to be given to these atypical practices, which are sometimes encountered on other sites.
Nur ein Haufen Knochen? Die komplexe Funktionsweise einer mittelalterlichen Knochengrube des Gemeindefriedhofes der Kirche Notre-Dame von Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) [gekürzte Fassung]
Authors: Blamangin Olivier , Oudry Sophie , Kacki Sacha
Published: July 2022

Das Sammeln und sekundäre Deponieren von Knochen war eine gängige Bestattungspraxis bei der Bewirtschaftung mittelalterlicher Friedhofsflächen. Die daraus resultierenden Ansammlungen von Knochen profitieren selten von einer sorgfältigen archäologischen Ausgrabung und Untersuchung. Die jüngste Ausgrabung einer Beinhausgrube auf dem Pfarrfriedhof der Kirche Notre-Dame in Boulogne-sur-Mer zeigt jedoch, dass diese Art von Struktur nicht auf den einfachen Ausdruck einer pragmatischen Verwaltung menschlicher Überreste reduziert werden kann. Im Beispiel von Boulogne, das durch 14C-Analysen gut auf das 14. Jahrhundert datiert werden kann, wurden im Beinhaus vier Primärbestattungen durchgeführt - drei kleine Kinder, von denen zwei in Särge gelegt wurden, und ein Erwachsener, der auf den Bauch gelegt wurde -, was die Koexistenz von zwei Funktionen, zwei "Absichten" und verschiedenen "Bestattungszeiten" im Betrieb der Struktur bezeugt. Die gewonnenen Ergebnisse führen zu einer Diskussion über die Bedeutung, die diesen atypischen Bestattungsgesten, die manchmal auch an anderen Orten zu finden sind, zu geben ist.
From the forest to the building. A cross-disciplinary study of wooden roofs in south-eastern France (12th-19th centuries) [abridged version]
Authors: Burri Sylvain , Labbas Vincent , Bernardi Philippe
Published: July 2022

Despite the increasing interest for wooden materials in medieval and post-medieval architecture studies, their use as roofing material remains little-known. In Provence, which has traditionally been considered the “land of tiles”, wooden roofs have been long regarded as marginal and confined to mountainous areas. This paper aims at restoring these materials to their rightful place in the economy and building techniques, through a cross-disciplinary approach overlapping their viewpoints and methods from different branches, such as standing buildings archaeology, history and dendrochronology. Such a comprehensive and integrated approach provides new insights into the history of building techniques, by identifying the types of wood used and by reconstructing the operating chain from raw material acquisition to their implementation on buildings, in both urban and rural areas. This study contributes also to the knowledge renewal on southern French Alps’ economy, by analysing the integration of such roofing material within the economic markets and sociological environments.
Vom Wald zum Gebäude. Multidisziplinäre Untersuchungen zu den Holzdächern in Südostfrankreich (12.-19. Jh.) [gekürzte Fassung]
Authors: Burri Sylvain , Labbas Vincent , Bernardi Philippe
Published: July 2022

Der Anteil des Holzes im mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Bauwesen wird zunehmend berücksichtigt, aber sein Gebrauch als Dachdeckungsmaterial bleibt unterschätzt. In der Provence, die lange als das Ziegelland schlechthin galt, betrachtete man diese Verwendung des Holzes lange als marginal und auf Bergsiedlungen beschränkt. Hier soll eine pluridiszipinäre Untersuchung diesem Dachdeckungsmaterial seinen rechten Platz in der Wirtschaft und in der Bautechnik zuweisen, wobei die Sichtweisen und die Methoden der Geschichte, der Bauanalyse und der Dendrochronologie gekreuzt werden. Diese Gesamtbetrachtung leistet einen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Bautechnik, indem sie die verschiedenen verwendeten Holzsorten identifiziert und ihre Herstellungskette rekonstruiert, vom Erwerb des Holzmaterials im Wald bis zu seiner Verwendung auf den Dachstühlen und seinem weiteren Leben (Reparaturen, Wiederverwendung), in der Stadt wie auf dem Land, in der Ebene wie im Gebirge. Darüber hinaus trägt sie zur Kenntnis der südalpinen Wirtschaft bei, indem sie die wirtschaftlichen Märkte und die soziologischen Milieus untersucht, in welchen diese Holzprodukten ihren Platz fanden.
La SNCF face à la Shoah
Authors: Delmaire Danielle
Published: July 2022

Les rails, les wagons, les gares sont l’infrastructure qui a permis la mise en œuvre de la déportation des Juifs. Toutefois, les trains et les gares ont aussi été des lieux qui ont facilité la fuite des Juifs vers des refuges ou qui ont facilité des sauvetages. Le personnel de la SNCF, cheminots et travailleurs sociaux ont participé à ces sauvetages. En revanche, ce fut parfois dans les trains et les gares que des Juifs furent arrêtés et le personnel juif de la SNCF a été en grand partie licencié.
« Combien de tours de roue, d’arrêts et de départs ? »
Authors: Chevandier Christian
Published: July 2022

La convention d’armistice de juin 1940 obligeait le gouvernement français à mettre certains de ses moyens au service des Allemands. Or, beaucoup de membres de ce groupe social qui a fait fonctionner le système ferroviaire ont lutté contre l’occupant, aussi bien des syndicalistes que des cadres. Deux mémoires distinctes de la résistance des cheminots se sont opposées dès la fin des années 1940. À la fin du xxe siècle, elles ont été déstabilisées par le reproche de la conduite des trains de la déportation.
Kaddish Reconstitution conjecturale d’une pièce de théâtre détruite d’André Schwarz-Bart
Authors: Kaufmann Francine
Published: July 2022

André Schwarz-Bart, Prix Goncourt 1959, a relativement peu publié dans sa vie. Mais il n’a jamais cessé d’écrire, déchirant, brûlant, jetant dans une déchetterie, nombre de manuscrits. Dans ses notes, il mentionne deux œuvres qu’il regrette d’avoir détruites. L’une est une pièce de théâtre consacrée à son père déporté : Kaddish. Invitée à travailler dans le bureau de l’écrivain défunt à Goyave, en Guadeloupe (entre 2010 et 2016), j’ai entrepris de repérer, photocopier, retaper, des fragments de brouillons portant sur Kaddish : plans, dialogues, didascalies, notes de travail, thématique. Des références à des cassettes audio m’ont poussée à interroger Simone Schwarz-Bart. Parmi les cassettes retrouvées, neuf concernaient Kaddish. J’ai décidé de reconstituer, de manière conjecturale, ce qu’aurait pu être un texte suivi, cohérent, qui utiliserait les passages rédigés de trois versions de la pièce, agencés en fonction des indications présentes dans les notes écrites ou orales d’André Schwarz-Bart. D’autres reconstitutions restent possibles.
Data-Driven Analysis of Cycle-to-Cycle Variations, Scatter, and Furcation in the UH-60A Wind Tunnel Rotor Airloads Measurements
Authors: Ramasamy Manikandan , Jain Rohit , Norman Thomas R.
Published: July 2022

A data-driven clustering algorithm based on proper orthogonal decomposition was applied to assess the scatter found in the UH-60A wind tunnel airloads measurements. Upon verifying the capability of the algorithm, pushrod loads, blade surface pressures, sectional loads, and torsional
moments were analyzed. Spatial eigenmodes resulting from the decomposition provided the optimal basis; projection of the individual cycles onto the high singular value modes allowed visualizing the statistical distribution of data over the entire azimuth. While not all cases showed furcation
in the data, the bimodal distribution was found in the high-thrust cases, where statistically normal distribution is generally assumed. Consequent clustering of the measured cycles produced an excellent correlation among clusters found in the pushrod loads, blade surface pressure, and torsional
moment that suggests a common source for furcation in the data. The cycles assigned to one group repeatedly showed distinguishable variations from the other group in terms of the presence/absence of a dynamic stall vortex, azimuthal occurrence of the stall, chordwise location of separation,
reattachment, and so on. When one of the clusters is smaller in size compared to the other, the conventional phase average obscured all the intricate features even when the loads are substantially higher than the larger cluster. In general, clustering the dataset when warranted showed not
only higher peak loads but also lower variance for both the clusters across the entire azimuth compared to the conventional simple phase-average results. Computational simulations were conducted using CREATETM -AV Helios towards understanding the underlying flow field. Misinterpreted
earlier as under-/overpredictive when compared with the simple phase-average data, Helios results consistently showed significantly improved correlation with one of the two clusters. Combining the clustered results and the flow visualization provided by Helios, aperiodicity in the spatial
location and the strength of both the trim tab vortices and tip vortices have been hypothesized as potential sources of furcation.

Published: July 2022

Objective:

To evaluate the potential effect of human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJMSCs) on acute respiratory distress syndrome in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced rats.

Methods:

The hWJMSCs (5×104/mL, 5×105/mL, 5×106/mL) were administered to rats on day 1 and day 8 after being induced by LPS (5 mg/kg body weight). TNF-α levels in the lung and IL- 18 and IL-1β levels in the serum were measured using ELISA. In addition, caspase-1 expression in lung tissues was quantified using qRT-PCR, and NF-κB and IL-6 expressions were assessed using immunohistochemistry.

Results:

The hWJMSCs decreased TNF-α levels in the lung and plasma IL-18 and IL-1β levels. Moreover, the hWJMSCs downregulated the expressions of caspase-1, IL-6, and NF-κB in lung tissues.

Conclusions:

The hWJMSCs can decrease inflammatory markers of acute respiratory distress syndrome in a rat model and may be further investigated for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Authors: Sadiq Masud Eneji , Egwuenu Chibuzo , Wasagu Rabiu Saidu Umar , Umar Usman Zayyanu , Usman Bello
Published: July 2022

Objective:

To investigate the role of Mirabilis jalapa root extracts in restoration of glucose homeostasis in alloxan-induced hyperglycemic Wistar albino rats.

Methods:

Experimental hyperglycemic rats were treated daily with 200 and 400 mg/kg of Mirabilis jalapa extracts after initial fasting for 6 h. Two-hour postprandial glucose and changes in body weight were monitored during treatment. After 14 d, the rats were sacrificed and blood was collected for biochemical assessment of serum glucose and insulin levels, lipid profile, and oxidative stress markers. Histopathological examinations of harvested pancreas were also carried out.

Results:

Mirabilis jalapa root extracts at 200 and 400 mg/kg increased the body weight of hyperglycemic rats. Postprandial glucose levels of the extract-treated hyperglycemic groups progressively declined during treatment compared with the untreated hyperglycemic control group (P<0.05). The lipid profile indices of the untreated negative control group were significantly elevated (P<0.05), which were reversed by treatment with Mirabilis jalapa extracts. The remarkable increases in antioxidant enzyme activities and a significant decrease in malondialdehyde levels were observed in the hyperglycemic group treated with Mirabilis jalapa extracts. Mirabilis jalapa extracts also significantly increased serum insulin levels (P<0.05). In addition, histopathological examinations of the pancreas revealed a significant cell population within the islet nests of the extract-treated hyperglycemic groups.

Conclusions:

Mirabilis jalapa extract can restore glucose homeostasis and show hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in hyperglycemic rats. Further studies are needed to verify the active components of the plant and the underlying mechanism of action in the future.

Objective:

To investigate the prophylactic efficacy of date palm fruit extract against doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats.

Methods:

The rats were equally and randomly assigned to 6 groups: group 1 (untreated control), group 2 and 3 given daily oral administration of prophylactic aqueous extract of date palm fruit at 0.75 and 1.5 mg/kg body weight, respectively, and group 4, 5 and 6 intraperitoneally injected with doxorubicin at 15 mg/kg on day 30. Rats in group 5 and 6 received daily oral administration of aqueous extract of date palm fruit at 0.75 and 1.5 mg/kg body weight, respectively, for 30 d. The phytochemicals identified by GC-MS analysis were analyzed using in silico study. Antioxidant enzymes, liver enzymatic, biochemical parameters and histopathological analysis were determined to evaluate hepatoprotective activity of date extract.

Results:

Aqueous extract of date palm fruit significantly mitigated doxorubicin-induced changes in activities of liver enzymes, reduced reactive oxygen species levels, and suppressed lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Moreover, aqueous extract of date palm fruit reduced doxorubicin-induced hepatic lesions. Molecular docking studies showed that most compounds of aqueous extract of date palm fruit identified via GC-MS had good interaction with proteins of human pregnane X receptor, oxygenase-1, and CYP2C9.

Conclusions:

The aqueous extract of date palm fruit mitigates doxorubicin-mediated DNA damage and hepatotoxicity, and restores normal liver function and may be a promising agent against the deleterious effects of doxorubicin.

Published: July 2022

Cockroaches are vectors and harborages of several microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa and helminths which most of them are known to be causative agents of gastro-intestinal intoxications. Due to the lack of information’s in Algeria about the intestinal parasites intoxication and their transmission by cockroaches, this work aims to examine the intestinal parasites present on the bodies of twenty-eight cockroaches collected from different sites (Fast-Food, bakery, Super market, kitchen) at Ain Témouchent city (Algeria). However, no cockroach was found in the university restaurants of the girls and boy’s residences to be collected. The cockroaches identified belong to the four genus namely American, German, Striped and Nymph, with prevailing of the male sex. I Identification results of intestinal parasites and their different stages showed that the quality of the parasite does not depend on the species of cockroaches and/or the collection site. In fact, all cockroaches load a helminth eggs followed by Giardia spp. and Entamoeba spp. (each one at 60%), Ascaris eggs (50%), hookworm (40%), nematodes (20%), Endolimax spp. (5%) and others that they were not be able to be identified. Therefore, these results are of great interest in food risk communication and management.

Published: July 2022

Camels are critically important in the Mauritanian culture and traditions. The study was conducted in May and June 2017 in fifteen localities of two departments of Trarza in Mauritania. The objective was to characterize Aftout camel population from socio-economic and morpho-metric characteristics. A questionnaire was administered to 25 breeders in the study area. Nine morpho-metric measurements were recorded on 104 camels aged 6 years or above. The study showed that camel keeping is a typical men’s activity. All the investigated breeders were men, among which 68% are more than 45 years age, and 84 % has never attended formal education. 80% of the breeders have practiced camel rearing for more than 20 years. The activity was considered a major one, as it contributes more than 75% of the family income for 76% of the breeders. The average zootechnic performances were 5.28±1.64 l/d, 3.48±1.15 years, 5.04±0.84 years, 1.38±0.58 years and 1.6±0.40 years respectively for milk production, age at reproduction of females, age at reproduction of males, age at weaning and duration of lactation. The studied biometric measurements highlighted a marked variability. Four morpho-zoometric indices were estimated, and the average estimated body weight was 352.41±55.12 kg. Based on the obtained results, Aftout camel was characterized by a large diversity of practices, which may be an asset for identifying and orienting the productive potential of various camel types in Mauritania.

This is the first regional study aimed at understanding the diversity of the fauna nesting in the populations of Atlas Pistachio in Algeria. Fieldwork which lasted 6 years, consisted of mixed sampling (stratified then subjective) accompanied by surveys of the surrounding population in order to find the vertebrate species sought. A total of 160 species have been identified in all the study area (Tiaret region). There are 160 species of birds (46 migratory species and 66 sedentary species); 21 species of mammals; 5 species of freshwater fish; 17 species of reptiles and 5 species of amphibians. The present study revealed to us the existence of an exceptional fauna diversity in this area with some new data on the distribution of some species, especially birds and mammals. For the forest of Atlas Pistachio, there are less than all the study area, because of the location of the 4th forests, with two of them in the north of Tiaret region (mountains of Tagdemt and Guertoufa) and the the others forests in the south, in the steppe ecosystem (Rechaiga and Rosfa). Our study reveals that the most species and the diversity of fauna are located in the north (Tagdempt and Rosfa) with 47 species of birds of an total of 57 species that we mentioned in all the 4th forests of the Atlas Pistachio, 8 of the total of 12 species of mammals, 9 of the total of 13 reptiles and only one species of amphibians with is Sclerophrys mauritanica. We can say also that only two species have a direct relation with this tree, we talk about Sturnus vulgaris and Mus musculus, wich prefer the fruits and seeds of this tree; that Sturnus vulgaris with is a wintering migrant birds, and his migration come over the period of fruting of this endemic and important tree. For the mouse (Mus musculus), as all the rodentodia species, they prefer the seeds, that they collect into their hole. We can say at last, that the Tiaret region is very important biotope, for all the vertebrate species, for his heterogeneity ecosystems, and their location with consist of an migratory halt for many birds, also the nesting birds wicth come every year for the reproduction.
Functional Diversity Based on Morphometric Analysis and Identification of the Algerian Carob Tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) Cultivars

Published: July 2022

Sixty-six carob accessions from 19 sites throughout Algeria were analysed by leaf, pod and seed characteristics to assess their genetic diversity and identify the first Algerian carob cultivars that could be used as germplasms for breeding programmes. We compared Algerian accessions with carobs from different Mediterranean countries, and our results showed a high level of morphological similarity between Algerian and Spanish carob pods. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences (p ˂ 0.001) between accessions for all the quantitative traits. Correlation analysis between variables indicated that seed yield could be improved by selecting light, thin and narrow carob pods. Multiple correspondence analysis explained a total variance of 30.22 % and illustrated three distinct leaf classes. Principal component analysis proposed two main groups of variables, one based on seed performance and the other targeting pod potential. Hierarchical classification with seven clusters revealed considerable genetic diversity among the Algerian carob accessions studied, and indicated that the type of bioclimate did not influence their distribution, suggesting that morphometric traits are probably controlled more by genes that by bioclimate. Linear discriminant analysis, clustering and heatmap plotting identified 11 potential cultivars, 10 female and one hermaphroditic.

This study explores the diversity in individual response for three captive African Savannah Ele-phants (Loxodonta africana) to variations in the daily number of zoo visitors. The nocturnal behav-iour of the elephants was observed in two periods with a factor 5.1 difference in numbers of zoo visitors. Ten behavioural expressions for each elephant were compared for the two periods. Data was collected with surveillance cameras for ten hours (20:00 to 06:00) throughout six nights. Fur-thermore, the data was compared to a similar study on the same elephants performed two years earlier. Both studies revealed a significant difference in behaviour between low activity and high visitor activity periods for all three elephants in the behaviour ’Walk’. No overall significant differ-ence was found in the other behavioural expressions. Clear difference in reaction norms was found between the matriarch and the two subordinates for the behaviours: ’Feed from ground’, ’Inactive’, ’Walk’ and ’Other’. This study shows that elephants in captivity are influenced by an increase in the number of zoo visitors, and that the personality or social status of the elephant may provide them with different resilience to disturbance.

Published: July 2022

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the inclusion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived prebiotic, on broiler’s diets as a potential substitute for antibiotics growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry production, on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of broiler chickens. For a total of 224 (-1 days old) Arbor Acres chickens of either sex were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments each consisting of seven replicates and each replicates having 8 birds/ cage.  The experiment duration was 42 days. The dietary treatments were (P0) The birds were fed a basal diet without prebiotic, (P1) basal diet with 1g of prebiotic, (P2) basal diet with 1.5g of prebiotic, and (P3) basal diet with 2g of prebiotic. Average weight (AW), Daily Weight Gain (DWG), FI (Feed Intake), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Mortality Rate (MR), hot and cold carcass weight, yield, and muscle weights were measured. Meat quality was evaluated by determining the pH and color values of the CIE Lab Color System. A sensory analysis was performed. Results showed no significant difference in growth performance (P>0.05). Indeed, the control group had a significantly higher BW compared with experimental treatments P1, P2, and P3. Furthermore, broiler DWG did not differ (P>0.05) between the control and the experimental groups. Likewise, no significant differences were observed between treatments regarding FI, FCR, and mortality (P>0.05). The overall mortality rate during the experimental period was low in the control group (0%) compared to the group fed prebiotic (0.2%). No significant effect was observed regarding pH 30 min and ultimate pH (P>0.05). However, a significant difference has occurred in the meat color (P= 0.03). Therefore, meat quality showed no alteration when prebiotic was added during the starter period. It was concluded that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived prebiotic added to the broiler diet at doses up to 2g/kg during the starter period did not improve performance, but could maintain meat quality. Further investigations are needed to clarify the effect of duration prebiotics administration on meat quality in broiler chickens.

Published: July 2022

The objective of this work is the inventory of lichens in the Hafir forest, it is part of a more general project aimed at studying the lichen flora of the Tlemcen region. The Hafir forest is one of the last Algerian mountainous cork oak forests belonging to the Bético Rifain complex. Our study area enjoys a Mediterranean climate, subhumid with cool winters. Based mainly on random sampling, giving particular importance to the different types of substrate, we were able to sample 73 species of lichens belonging to 16 families and 38 genera. Among these, the Parmeliaceae family is the most dominant with 19 species followed by the Lecanoraceae family which is represented by 14 species and the Physciaceae by 13 species. The physiognomic spectrum shows the presence of 06 lichen categories: foliaceous lichens, crustaceans, fruticose, gelatinous, scaly and leprous. While the classification by type of substrate shows the dominance of corticolous lichens with 48 species followed by saxicolous with 13 species, terricolous with 06 in number and lignicoles and muscicoles with 03 species each. We were able to identify 18 species protected by Algerian law among inventoried lichens. The Hafir forest is home to a very interesting lichen diversity that deserves to be protected, which requires immediate intervention to reduce the anthropogenic pressure exerted and which can pollute this natural environment.

As part of the study of the biodiversity of goat genetic resources, our study is based on a phenotypic approach of the Arbia breed at the level of the wilaya of Tlemcen on the one hand, and on a physicochemical analysis of the milk of this breed on the other hand. The baryometric approach addresses the characterization of the Arbia breed by the use of body measurements on 40 individuals (34 goats and 6 bucks), these measurements: HL, HW, EL, EW, WH, BH, SH, CP, HG, CD, SW, NL, BL, TBL, SIL, TL, PL, RW, IW and TW are  respectively : 23.16 ± 1.53 cm, 11.51 ± 2.13 cm, 16.47 ± 2.40cm, 7.30 ± 0.63cm, 69.79 ± 4.46 cm, 71.40 ± 4.74 cm, 72.28 ± 4.67cm, 8.58 ± 1.11cm, 79.36 ± 6.44 cm, 28.71 ± 3.17cm, 16.65 ± 2.80cm, 23.18 ± 2.19cm, 72.57 ± 7.14cm, 109.96 ± 7.55cm, 64.24 ± 5.26 cm, 12.30 ± 2.42cm, 15.59 ± 1.36 cm, 15.59±1.36cm, 21.28 ± 1.84cm, 11.97 ± 1.81cm and 16.77 ± 2.75cm. This characterization revealed a phenotypic dimorphism between males and females, with very highly significant differences (p<0.001) for  some of the body measurements used. The results of the PCA yielded 03 classes (n = 34, n = 05 and n = 01, respectively). While the performance aspect is carried out by physicochemical analyzes of 29 milk samples belonging to the individuals characterized, the analyzes F, D, C, S, P, L, T, S1 are respectively 56.90 ± 20, 24 g / l; 3.086 ± 3.62; 4.96 ± 0.41; 7.73 ± 1.78%; 27.35 ± 4.01 g / l; 4.21 ± 0.61g / 100ml; 19.18 ± 2.77C °; 0.70 ± 0.09%. These characteristics give good milk quality. This work encourages us to move forward towards the large-scale exploitation of goat herds with a focus on the steppe level where cattle experiencing production difficulties.
