El “secreto” como categoría analítica de Ricardo Piglia y su aplicabilidad en el espacio diegético dentro de la nouvelle Otra vuelta de tuerca
Authors: Ruiz Figueroa Carlos
Published: August 2022

Durante las últimas décadas se ha visto un desarrollo acentuado de las perspectivas críticas y categorías de análisis latinoamericanas gracias a proposiciones de estudiosos como Juan Villoro, Juan José Saer y Ricardo Piglia que enriquecen las posibilidades de exploración de las creaciones literarias. En lo que respecta a este estudio, se rescata el trabajo intelectual de Piglia en relación con la categoría analítica de secreto y su aplicabilidad en el género nouvelle. En esta ocasión, se ha optado por analizar un clásico de la literatura, Otra vuelta de tuerca (2015), de Henry James, para verificar las posibilidades de reconstrucción de un secreto, entendido a la luz de las reflexiones de Piglia como un elemento fundamental en la trama que no está narrado en la historia visible, y que, sin embargo, se puede volver a narrar a partir del trabajo investigativo del lector. Para este fin, es pertinente examinar el espacio diegético en la narrativa, analizar el problema del narrador y abordar la posible reconstrucción del secreto en la nouvelle de James. Este trabajo de reflexión evidencia la complejidad literaria y el valor estético intensificado en las obras de este género, y del clásico de James en particular, ya que los recursos de ambigüedad y la sucesión de narradores múltiples enriquecen el valor del elemento oculto, a partir del cual se reconstruye una nueva lectura según las precisiones críticas de Piglia.
Towards an Understanding of Ethics as a Legitimizing Structure in the Context of Transhumanism
Authors: Terec-Vlad Loredana
Published: August 2022

In every historical period man has been guided by ethical and/or moral imperatives. According to them, his behavior must not harm other individuals. If the man of Modernity was under the empire of the Kantian categorical imperative, the postmodern individual is looking for an ethics of our times. Along with postmodernity, the technique and technology that change in the state of being of the individual is developing more and more. All this has contributed to the emergence of new problems that ethics tries to offer solutions to.

Comparison of surgical and medical treatment in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
Authors: CÖMERT Serhat
Published: August 2022

Aim: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke whose risk factors are chronic hypertension, amyloid angiopathy, anticoagulants, and malformations. Primary or spontaneous ICH constitutes a significant portion of hemorrhagic strokes. Management of ICH ranges from medical management to open surgery. In this study, surgical and medical treatments applied to the patients were compared with the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
Patients and Methods: A total of 32 patients with ICH were included in the study. Diagnosis was made by cranial computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in all patients. Medical treatment was applied to 19 patients among the participants. Surgical treatment was applied to 13 patients. GCS points of patients presenting with intracerebral hematoma were recorded and compared at their first admission and after treatment.
Results: In this study, a total of eight patients died, four of whom were followed up with medical treatment and four of those who underwent surgical treatment. Participants were examined in terms of pre- and post-treatment GCS scores according to the location of the lesion. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the GCS values of the participants before and after the surgical and medical treatment. The mean GCS values of those who were treated medically were higher than those who were treated surgically. GCS values were very close to each other after treatment and no statistically significant difference was found between the groups.
Conclusion: In the light of the findings obtained in the study, it was concluded that surgical treatment was not superior to medical treatment.
The Blind Side of Art: Visual Impairment as a Resource in the Work of Mexican Artists
Authors: Dubiel Monika
Published: August 2022

Disability studies is a dynamically developing discipline; however, it usually focuses on the Anglophone world. Scholars representing this field often concentrate on deconstructing popular stereotypes and revealing hidden systemic discrimination. Although more and more initiatives are taken up – such as disability pride – it seems that an affirmative approach to disability remains in the minority. This article is a proposal for going beyond the mentioned schemes. Entering the area of the Latin American culture, I try to verify whether the findings of disability studies can be confirmed there. Proposing the interpretation of dis-ability in terms of resource, I want to broaden the affirmative perspective on disability.
This paper aims at a critical reflection on the creative potential of visual impairment used by blind and low-vision Mexican artists in the creative process. Driving upon the research conducted between 2020 and 2022, I argue that they use their visual impairment as a resource in their artistic activity. I distinguish four aspects of the functioning of visual impairment as a resource in artistic work: inspiration, representation, non-ocularcentric imagination, and accessibility.

Uromyces viciae-fabae has increased in economic importance in broad bean-producing regions of central Mexico. It is therefore convenient to have a standardized system to quantify its severity. The objective of this study was to generate and validate a diagrammatic scale to evaluate the severity of rust on broad bean leaves. We collected infected broad bean leaves with different degrees of damage from commercial crops in the Valle de Toluca and the southeastern region of Mexico State. One hundred and ten leaves representing the disease were taken and group discrimination was carried out to select the ranking visually. Then, the leaves were scanned and evaluated to obtain the real severity value for each leaf using the software ©ASSESS 2.0. A six-class diagrammatic scale was generated: 0 (0.0), 1 (>0.1-6.0), 2 (>6.1-12.0), 3 (>12.1-24.0), 4 (>24.1-56.0) y 5(>56.1-<100), and the exactitude, precision, and reproducibility of its estimations were verified. Fifty-eight leaves were evaluated by 20 evaluators without previous knowledge of the disease; the results obtained were analyzed using simple linear regression. In the initial selection evaluation, average r² values of 0.738 were obtained, without scale, while for the evaluation where the proposed scale was used, the average was 0.93, which confirms adequate levels of accuracy and reproducibility that the proposed scale can provide, for this disease.
An assessment of the impact of demographic variables on students’ economic performance
Authors: Abdu Bichi Ado
Published: August 2022

Economics as a subject is regarded as the bedrock of all management and social science-based disciplines. The persistently low level of students’ achievement in Economics in senior secondary school (SSS II) examinations has become a thing of great concern to all stakeholders. This study examined students’ performance in the SSS II Economics qualifying examination in Kano State and the influence of gender and schools’ nature on their performances in Economics. An ex-post-facto design of descriptive research was adopted for the study. A proforma was used to collect data from a sample of 300 students, selected using a stratified random sampling procedure from the secondary schools in Kano State, Nigeria. The data collected were the students’ performances in the Economics achievement test. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test. Overall, the results showed that students performed above average and a significant gender difference exists in Economics performance.

Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) Role in Driving Urban Climate Governance: The Case of CIKOD and GAYO in Ghana
Authors: Boateng Ama Kissiwah
Published: August 2022

While cities are considered pivotal sources of global greenhouse gas emissions, they are also essential in urban climate governance. The role of NGOs in different contexts is increasing in terms of the mode of governance, but the empirical evidence of how they contribute to urban climate action in small and medium-sized cities, especially in developing countries is limited. Drawing evidence from Ghana, a case study research design was adopted and this facilitated an in-depth understanding of how NGOs contribute to urban climate governance in small and medium-sized cities in Ghana. The primary data collection methods included key informant interviews with two purposively selected NGOs: the Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Organisational Development (CIKOD) and the Green Africa Youth Organisation (GAYO), which is located in the Wa Municipality and the Cape Coast Metropolis respectively. Randomly selected residents made up of chiefs and assembly members, who are the representatives of the people in the municipality, were interviewed. All interviews were transcribed and analysed in generated themes. The study revealed that climate change adaptation actions included local empowerment through capacity building, climate advocacy, and waste management. As a result of the adaptation focus, the paper concludes that collaborations and partnerships among state and non-state actors will help generate greater resilience benefits for local communities. Climate change adaptation programmes, which are often initiated by NGOs, are also steered by local residents outside of administrative systems.

Published: August 2022

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. or roselle is an important vegetable crop in several African countries. It is rich in vitamins and minerals and is widely used in the diet of local populations in Africa, especially in Burkina Faso. However, up to now, there is no in-depth study describing roselle genetic diversity that has been carried out to assess ecotypes cultivated in Burkina Faso. Thus, this study aims to contribute to providing more insights into Hibiscus sabdariffa genetic variability in Burkina Faso through an agromorphological characterization. For this purpose, a trial was carried out using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. 48 accessions collected from farmers were assessed. Agromorphological data collection involved 12 qualitative and 18 quantitative traits. The qualitative traits analysis showed high variability in leaf, stem, and flower color and shape. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed using quantitative data. The results indicated significant differences among all genotypes for all the traits measured. The first three axes of the PCA explain 69.62% of the genetic variability. Furthermore, the results showed a high agromophological variability which is structured in three (03) groups. This variability will contribute to the enhancement and genetic improvement of Hibiscus sabdariffa.

A school’s healthy organizational culture forms the foundation of culture which may become values among its members. School’s culture may trigger the improvement in work discipline and work motivation, which are ones of teachers’ performance evaluation criterions. The aim of this research is to find the effects of discipline, motivation, and organizational culture on teachers’ performance. It is important to conduct the research at School X in Tangerang Selatan as there has been noticed a phenomenon of teachers’ performance gap which caused hindrance in reaching school’s goals. The research was conducted at Sekolah X in Tangerang Selatan using census method and the Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) tool to analyze the results. The population of 42 people is the respondent or being censused. The findings concluded that the discipline, motivation, and organizational culture do have effect on the teachers’ performance, with the most influenced construct on teachers’ performance was the discipline. There were also found that the organizational culture effects the discipline and motivation among teachers of School X in Tangerang Selatan.

Authors: Octavianus Octavianus
Published: August 2022

Performance has become an essential concern of an organization. An employee who performs well will be able to encourage growth within and outside the organization, so that job performance evaluation is the organization's ultimate goal to ensure that all employees have fulfilled their duties and responsibilities. This study aimed to analyze the effect of organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and work engagement on the performance of XYZ School teachers. It is because performance is an essential key for the XYZ School management team to maintain all students' and parents' reputation and trust in general. Data were collected through survey using questionnaire from 86 teachers from XYZ School. The research approach used is quantitative with the PLS-SEM method assisted by SmartPLS 3.2.7 software that evaluates the inner and outer models. The results showed that work engagement and organizational commitment positively affect performance, while job satisfaction has a negative effect on performance.
Changements sériques et hématologiques chez des chèvres expérimentalement intoxiquées avec du sélénite de sodium
Authors: Ahmed Khalda E. , Adam S.E.I. , Idris O.F. , Tageldin Mohammed H.
Published: August 2022

On a enregistré les changements chimiques, biochimiques et hématologiques chez des chèvres de Nubie qui avaient reçu, quotidiennement, par voie orale, des doses uniques ou fractionnées, selon le cas, de 160, 90, 40, 20, 1, 0,5 et 0,25 mg/kg de sélénite de sodium. Aux doses les plus élevées, il a provoqué insomnie, écume au museau, dyspnée, diarrhée, parésie des membres postérieurs, décubitus puis mort. L’augmentation des valeurs de l’hémoglobine, de l’hématocrite et du nombre des globules rouges indique une hémoconcentration. Chez les chèvres qui ont reçu 5 mg/kg/jour de sélénite de sodium, on a observé une anémie macrocytaire hypochronique et une leucopénie avant la mort. Une augmentation dans l’activité des SGOT et de la y-GT, et dans la concentration de l’urée et du phosphore minéral et une diminution dans celle des protéines totales et du calcium ont été détectées dans le sérum. Le sélénite de sodium, aux doses quotidiennes de 1, 0,5 et 0,25 mg/kg n’était pas toxique pour les chèvres.
Mesures agronomiques permettant une diminution des populations de la tique Amblyomma variegatum
Authors: Barré Nicolas
Published: August 2022

Certaines méthodes d’exploitation des pâturages et des troupeaux pourraient être appliquées avec succès pour diminuer l’infestation du bétail par la tique Amblyomma variegatum. L’assainissement du sol peut être obtenu par un surpâturage momentané suivi d’un détiquage des animaux « pièges ». Cet assainissement peut être maintenu en limitant la mise à l’herbe durant la période 18h-6h, au cours de laquelle très peu de tiques se détachent des hôtes et infestent les prairies et où très peu de tiques à jeun sont actives et se fixent sur les hôtes. Par contre, la longévité des nymphes et surtout des adultes d’Amblyomma variegatum est telle que la diminution de l’infestation par la pratique de la rotation des animaux sur les pâturages est inapplicable.
Régime alimentaire de ruminants domestiques (bovins, ovins, caprins) exploitant des parcours naturels sahéliens et soudano-sahéliens. 1. Rappels bibliographiques sur les objectifs et les méthodes d’étude de la composition botanique des régimes ingérés au pâturage
Authors: Guérin Hubert
Published: August 2022

La trop fréquente absence de gestion des parcours naturels sahéliens est unanimement dénoncée. Malheureusement, outre les difficultés rencontrées pour mettre en œuvre les mesures les plus urgentes telles que la mise en défens des parcours, la réduction des effectifs du cheptel, le reboisement, etc., les normes techniques d’une gestion optimale sont mal connues. Il est donc important de mettre au point des méthodologies d’étude des relations « animal-végétation » et d’établir les références techniques indispensables à une meilleure gestion. La composition botanique du régime fait partie des connaissances à acquérir dans ce domaine. L’auteur expose les principales méthodes utilisées dans les régions tempérées ou chaudes pour caractériser le régime des animaux exploitant les pâturages à faible productivité.
Production et essais de vaccins inactivés en excipient huileux contre la maladie de Newcastle en Éthiopie
Authors: Thiaucourt François
Published: August 2022

Deux expériences ont été effectuées au National Veterinary lnstitute à Debre Zeit, Éthiopie, pour tester la faisabilité de vaccins en excipient huileux contre la maladie de Newcastle. L’antigène choisi était la souche « LaSota ». Dans une première expérience, la réponse en anticorps a paru proportionnelle à la quantité d’antigène incorporée dans le vaccin. Dans une seconde expérience, un vaccin préparé avec le liquide allantoïdien pur, comme phase aqueuse, s’est révélé suffisamment efficace pour obtenir des titres d’anticorps allant de 1/250, au début, à 1/80, à la fin de l’année suivant la vaccination d’un élevage commercial de pondeuses. Par comparaison, les poulets IOPS (indemnes d’organismes pathogènes spécifiques) avaient des titres atteignant 1/512 en dépit d’un temps de stockage du vaccin de 6 mois à 4 °C.

Épidémiologie des trématodoses du bétail dans la région de Kolda, Casamance (Sénégal)
Authors: Diaw O.T. , Seye M. , Sarr Y.
Published: August 2022

Des enquêtes effectuées de 1977 à 1980, puis en 1985 et 1986, ont permis d’étudier l’épidémiologie des trématodoses du bétail dans le département de Kolda :
- Détermination de la nature et des taux d’infestation des animaux au niveau des abattoirs de Kolda. Chez les bovins, on enregistre une baisse considérable de la distomatose, alors que la schistosomose progresse sensiblement. Chez les petits ruminants, les taux d’infestation sont très faibles.
- Identification des mollusques dans les différents points d’eau et étude de leur rôle dans la transmission des trématodoses.
La région de Kolda, de par son climat et sa pluviométrie, offre les conditions idéales au maintien des trématodoses qui risquent de s’étendre avec les aménagements hydroagricoles.
Enquête sur la trypanosomose dans la région de Gému-Gofa en Éthiopie
Authors: Takele A. , Abébé Getachew
Published: August 2022

L’enquête a été conduite dans trois provinces de la région administrative du Gému-Gofa en Éthiopie, sur une période de huit mois. Un ensemble de 1 862 bovins, 111 caprins, 37 ovins, 47 ânes et mules et 2 chiens a été pris en compte. Dans presque 95 % des localités, des infections ont été trouvées. La prévalence générale de la trypanosomose dans les trois provinces était de 32 %. Un taux de prévalence plus élevé chez les caprins et les équins et une réceptivité plus grande de ces espèces à la trypanosomose ont été révélés dans la région de l’enquête. Par ordre d’importance relative, les espèces de trypanosomes rencontrées étaient Trypanosoma congolense, Trypanosoma vivax, Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma theileri et Trypanosoma evansi. Les infections combinées et les espèces non identifiées étaient fréquentes. L’efficacité a été testée entre les étalements de sang en couches minces, en gouttes épaisses et sur sang frais et la technique de centrifugation microhématocrite pour la diagnose de la trypanosomose animale. L’analyse statistique faite de la température du corps, du volume globulaire sanguin des animaux naturellement infectés et des animaux trouvés non infectés a révélé une différence statistiquement significative dans le volume sanguin moyen et une variabilité dans la température corporelle moyenne entre ces groupes.
Virus de la variole caprine chez les petits ruminants au Soudan
Authors: Hajer I. , Abbas B. , Abu Samra M.T.
Published: August 2022

Deux souches de virus variolique ont été isolées de caprins et d’ovins lors d’une apparition de la maladie affectant les deux espèces. Il a été possible d’infecter expérimentalement les deux espèces avec les souches d’origine caprine ou d’origine ovine. Toutes deux ont montré des propriétés pathogéniques similaires chez les 2 espèces. On ne pouvait pas distinguer les deux souches par les tests de précipitation en gélose ou de neutralisation, à l’aide d’antisérums homologues ou hétérologues. Ce rapport confirme l’existence naturelle d’un capripox virus ou d’un virus variole ovine et caprine dans l’Afrique du Nord­ Est.
Changements hématologique et biochimique dans la trypanosomose humaine et animale
Authors: Anosa V.O.
Published: August 2022

Les trypanosomoses se caractérisent, en général, par de l’anémie, de la leucopénie, de la thrombocytopénie, ainsi que par des troubles du métabolisme d’où résultent de l’hypoglycémie, une élévation du taux d’azote uréique du sang, de l’hypoalbuminémie et de l’hypogammaglobulinémie, conséquence d’une augmentation du taux des IgM. Bien qu’il y ait des variations, fonctions de l’hôte (homme, animaux domestiques et animaux d’expérience) et des espèces de trypanosomes (T. brucei, T. gambiense, T. evansi, T. vivax, T. congolense), la gravité des altérations d’ordre hématologique et biochimique, associées aux diverses combinaisons hôte-parasite, est déterminée par le niveau de parasitémie qui s’établit pendant la première phase de l’infection. On peut en effet distinguer trois phases successives au cours de ces infections : ·
- une crise aiguë caractérisée par une parasitémie élevée, une destruction très rapide des érythrocytes, de la trombocytopénie, de la leucopénie et des perturbations biochimiques marquées.
- une crise chronique que l’on constate chez les animaux ayant survécu à la première phase. Elle se caractérise par une parasitémie plus faible, avec cependant persistance des altérations hématologiques, atténuation de quelques troubles du métabolisme comme l’hypoglycémie, mais persistance d’autres troubles comme les modifications des protéines plasmatiques.
- la troisième phase, ou rétablissement, survient chez les animaux qui ont surmonté les deux phases précédentes. Elle est caractérisée par une diminution nette de la parasitémie, voire même une stérilisation parasitaire, accompagnée d’un retour graduel à la normale des altérations qui s’étaient manifestées précédemment.
Le franchissement, pour un hôte infecté, de ces trois phases, dépend de son état nutritionnel, de la sévérité des lésions qui se développent pendant les crises aiguës et chroniques, et de l’existence d’infections secondaires. Les troubles d’ordre hématologique et biochimique induits par les trypanosomes résultent de leurs effets directs ou indirects, par l’intermédiaire de leurs produits de dégradation, sur les cellules de l’hôte (hématies, globules blancs, plaquettes) et ses tissus (foie, reins, moelle osseuse, organes lymphoïdes), d’où destruction cellulaire et mauvais fonctionnement organique, soustraction et addition de produits biochimiques chez l’hôte, liées au métabolisme du parasite.
Effet de gravité et de durée des infections sur la taille des oocystes d’Eimeria necatrix, une coccidie du poulet
Authors: Majaro O.M.
Published: August 2022

La taille des oocystes d’Eimeria necatrix dépend de la gravité et de la durée de l’infection. Plus l’infection est élevée, plus la taille de l’oocyste est réduite. La taille des oocystes trouvés au début de la période patente était significativement plus petite (P < 0,001) que celle des oocystes trouves plus tard dans le cours de l’infection. Les résultats expérimentaux suggèrent que la taille des oocystes utilisée comme instrument majeur pour l’identification des coccidies n’est pas un élément fiable.
Note sur la place du nitroxynil dans la lutte intégrée contre la fasciolose bovine à Fasciola gigantica à Madagascar
Authors: Touratier Louis
Published: August 2022

Avant les maladies infectieuses virales ou bactériennes, la fasciolose bovine à Fasciola gigantica est, de loin, le fléau le plus important de l’élevage malgache par les nombreuses pertes économiques dont elle est la cause qu’elles soient directes ou indirectes : mortalité, saisies, ralentissement de la croissance, infertilité, inaptitude au travail, immunodépression contrecarrant l’efficacité des vaccins. Des travaux récents ont apporté des éléments intéressants pour mesurer son impact. Ils s’étendent progressivement à l’ensemble des zones contaminées de façon à pouvoir évaluer avec un maximum d’exactitude l’incidence économique de la maladie et la rentabilité des mesures de lutte. Les schémas d’intervention sont simples :
- Destruction du parasite adulte par l’emploi d’un fasciolicide : solution aqueuse à 25 % de nitroxynil, injectable par voie sous-cutanée, largement employée et bien connue des éleveurs ;
- Action sur les mollusques hôtes intermédiaires (Lymnaea natalensis) par des moyens biologiques ayant déjà fait leurs preuves à Madagascar : élevage de canards ou d’autres prédateurs d’origine exotique dans les points d’eau et les rizières.
Les données fournies par les enquêtes épizootiologiques sur la distomatose à Fasciola gigantica permettent de déterminer les moments d’infestation des bovins avec pour corollaire un programme de traitements systématiques par le nitroxynil de tous les animaux dans une zone donnée. L’expérience de traitements réguliers par le nitroxynil a montré :
- son efficacité, prouvée par un engraissement plus rapide des animaux traités ;
- son effet prolongé, empêchant les réinfestations et assurant une reprise de poids durable ;
- son innocuité (bonne tolérance locale et générale, aucune toxicité pour les veaux sous la mère) ;
- sa compatibilité avec les campagnes de vaccinations contre les maladies infectieuses, charbons bactéridien et symptomatique notamment.
Conjointement l’action sur les hôtes intermédiaires par les palmipèdes et autres prédateurs donne lieu à une diminution très importante des formes infestantes, métacercaires de Fasciola gigantica et furcocercaires de Schistosoma spp. Ce moyen est donc susceptible de contribuer également à la lutte contre les trématodoses humaines.
Comparaison du pouvoir attractif des bovins Zébu et Baoulé pour Glossina tachinoides Westwood, 1850 et  Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead, 1910 en savane soudano­guinéenne, Burkina Faso
Authors: Filledier J. , Duvallet Gérard , Mérot P.
Published: August 2022

La différence, entre Zébu et Baoulé, d’attractivité olfactive pour les glossines, a été étudiée afin de savoir si cela pouvait être l’un des facteurs de la trypanotolérance. Si l’urine de Baoulé est plus attractive que celle de Zébu, le résultat est inverse avec l’odeur globale lorsque des poids identiques d’animaux sont utilisés. La faible différence observée (25 %) ne permet pas d’apporter de conclusion sur l’importance de ce facteur dans l’épidémiologie de la trypanosomose.

Published: August 2022

Dans le cadre du projet de lutte contre les glossines, mené par le CRTA de Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso), pour la création d’une zone pastorale d’accueil à Sidéradougou, le besoin de mâles stériles de Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead, pour les lâchers, a nécessité un élevage de masse de cette espèce. 11 182 pupes produites en brousse par des femelles capturées dans la région de la Comoe (Sud­ Ouest du Burkina Faso) ont été rapportées au CRTA pour créer la génération parentale fin 1981. Après une longue période stationnaire d’adaptation, le but fut atteint au cours de l’année 1984. Cet article fait le point des résultats obtenus depuis l’origine de l’élevage, jusqu’au mois de juin 1984 (début de la production de masse), et décrit les difficultés rencontrées pour adapter G. morsitans submorsitans. Ces résultats permettent de prévoir, pour créer un élevage de cette espèce à partir d’une souche sauvage, une période de 2 ans d’adaptation aux conditions de laboratoire et à l’alimentation sur animaux domestiques.

The abundance of mangroves can explain the state of an ecosystem

 
Abstract
Mangrove ecosystems in Sine and Pancer Cengkrong had degraded due to land-use change and restoration has been carried out over a few year on the damaged location. This study was conducted to evaluate water quality of mangrove ecosystems at both locations based on physical, chemical and phytoplankton parameters as bioindicators. The evaluation of Cengkrong Mangrove was carried out at 4 different locations based on different periode of restoration, namely restoration of 2008-2009, 2013-2014, natural mangroves, and 2005 succession mangroves, whereas there was only one sampling site at Sine mangrove namely 1998-2008 restoration. The physico-chemical parameters measured include water temperature, air temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), salinity, nitrate, and orthophosphate. Phytoplankton data was used to measure, trophic diatom index (TDI) as an indicator of water nutrition status, and pollution tolerant value (%PTV) as an indicator of organic pollution. The results showed that the water quality at all the study locations met the Indonesian Ministry of Environment Regulation No 51/2004, except nitrate and phosphate. Based on the TDI index, mangrove in Sine, Cengkrong 2013-2014 restoration, and 2005 succession mangroves were categorized as hyper-eutrophic, natural Cengkrong mangroves were categorized as eutrophic, and 2008-2009 restored Cengkrong mangroves were categorized as meso-eutrophic. Based on the %PTV index, in the Sine mangrove, 2013-2014 Cengkrong restoration, and 2005 succession mangroves were classified as high levels of organic matter pollution, while in the Cengkrong 2008-2009 restoration and natural Cengkrong were classified as a moderate level of organic pollution.

Besides cleanliness and health policies (e.g., washing hands and wearing masks), the primary policy adopted in numerous countries was the human mobility restriction. Border posts, airports, and ports are closed to limit people’s mobility, eliminating the opportunity for individuals to leave their nation because of war or unstable situations to seek a better life. Refugees are the ones who are most affected by the spread of this Coronavirus, as each nation prioritises its own national interests and its own inhabitants. The Global Compact on Refugees can be properly implemented to help refugees overcome the difficulties they face in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. The core objective of the Global Compact on Refugees is to ease the pressures on host countries and its equitable responsibility-sharing provisions should be optimised for implementation. This study is based on normative legal research; therefore, this article will examine the role of the Global Compact on Refugees during the height of COVID-19. Even though the Global Compact on Refugees is merely a non-legally binding instrument, the pandemic could be used as momentum for states to share the burden and responsibility of caring for the refugees in their states.

Published: August 2022

xamines the situation of education policy reference. New curriculum reform, namely “a new round of basic education curriculum reform”. Alternative approaches, such as school-based curricula, student-centred teaching methods, and formative assessment, have been used to draw on the NCR. In this essay, the borrowing process of China’s new curriculum reform will be analysed and discussed based on the four-stage analysis of Phillips and Ochs. At the same time, it focuses on the analysis of the core content—the specific implementation process of NCR, especially the content of “student-centred” pedagogy.
An Analytic Review of Brick’s “Political Economy of Customary Organizations in Rural Afghanistan”
Authors: Wei Yifan
Published: August 2022

This paper discusses The Political Economy of Customary Organizations in Rural Afghanistan by Jennifer Brick (2008) (hereafter, “the work”), which tries to ascertain whether public goods can be provided in a failed state and proposes a mechanism that provides social order as a public good. Brick achieves this by studying customary and non-customary organisations in rural Afghanistan and develops a theory to explain when a rural local authority might fulfil the purpose of public provision and governance. This paper demonstrates and analyses Brick’s findings, and proposes one main criticism to Brick’s quantitative research method.

Svrha ovog rada jest predstaviti metodologiju, alate i rezultate usporedne računalne analize online članaka: od prikupljanja dokumenata i čišćenja jezičnih podataka za razvoj specijaliziranoga korpusa članaka do prikaza korištenih alata i usporedne statističke analize korpusa. Istraživanje je provedeno na dva specijalizirana korpusa razvijena upravo za potrebe istraživanja, a temelje se na 500 članaka u kategoriji „Vijesti” portala Index.hr. Jedan korpus temelji se na člancima objavljenima u predpandemijskoj 2019. godini, a drugi na temelju članaka objavljenih u pandemijskoj 2020. godini. Analizom podataka otkriveno je da je vokabular pandemijskoga korpusa značajno siromašniji od predpandemijskoga korpusa, da se u 2020. manje pisalo o susjednim državama RH nego 2019. godine te da se u predpandemijskom korpusu više spominju domaći gradovi nego inozemni, dok je suprotan slučaj u pandemijskome korpusu. Konačno, istražena je i primjerenost automatske ekstrakcije termina za identifikaciju specifičnih tema kojima se bave promatrani korpusi.
Models of TV newsroom organization and news routines in Croatia
Authors: Kovačević Petra , Perišin Tena
Published: August 2022

The efforts of today’s journalism to win back the audiences’ trust and meet the expectations of audiences, while remaining committed to high-quality journalism, has been reflected in organizational and cultural changes in newsrooms. The digitalization of news production processes meant developing new newsroom organization models and news routines. As television is still the most trusted media in Croatia, this study focuses on three Croatian television newsrooms – the public broadcaster HRT, the commercial broadcaster Nova TV, and the most-watched non-terrestrial news channel N1 – and explores their different models of organization and how they have adapted to a transformed media environment and audience expectations. For this, a series of exploratory semi-structured interviews are conducted with a total of 28 journalists and editors. This study examines newsroom practices, the efficiency of newsroom integration or convergence implementation (if any), and the attempts to produce and distribute original innovative content across platforms. The study also tackles the main opportunities and obstacles that discourage or encourage them to produce what they perceive as quality stories and build engagement and trust in journalism. Findings point to three distinct newsroom integration and organization formats shaped by several important factors – past newsroom traditions, technology, ownership (Nova TV), foreign investors, international consultants, politics (HRT) and ultimately the format of the channel (N1). This is predominantly reflected in the news production process, or more precisely, in the ways editors and journalists create and shape the daily news program. Differences are identified in workflow between journalists employed by the public service broadcaster and its counterparts.
Snow contact characterisation of cross-country skis:

In cross-country skiing the time difference between a race winner and the person coming second is typically very small. Since much of the energy is spent on overcoming resistive forces, a relatively small reduction of these can have a significant impact on the results. The resistive forces come partly from the friction in the tribological interface, between the ski and the snow, and as with many tribological applications the characterisation of its origin, plays an important role in determining the frictional properties. Also in cross-country ski friction, there are several scales impacting the frictional performance, with the major contributors being the ski-camber profile and ski-base structure. Macro-scale measurements of the ski's camber profile under load, are often used to determine how adequate the ski is for a specific condition. The characteristic properties usually obtained are, the force required to collapse the ski to a certain camber height, the topography of the kick-wax zone, and by simple means a determined lengths of the frictional interface, i.e., the apparent contact length. To this date, there are some mathematical models, but there is no robust way of determining the macro-scale contact properties between a cross-country ski and a counter surface using simulations. In the present paper an Artificial neural networks (ANN) is trained to predict the ski-camber profile for various loads placed at different positions, and a well established deterministic approach is used to simulate the contact between the ANN-predicted ski-camber profile and a linearly elastic body with a flat surface, representing the snow. The results suggest that this method is feasible for the determination of the apparent contact characteristics of different skis. Moreover, we show that the apparent contact area does not linearly depend on the load, and that the elastic properties of the counter surface also has a large impact on the apparent contact area and the average apparent contact pressure.

Published: August 2022

This article aims to identify the current development of cross-border tourism between Vietnam and China. The paper analyzes the perception and strategy of cross-border tourism development in the two countries, especially in the context of China’s implementation of the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI). The article emphasizes that Vietnam and China have recently made efforts to promote cross-border tourism development. At the same time, Vietnam and China see cross-border tourism development as a significant part of comprehensive border cooperation between the two countries. However, the development plans for cross-border tourism between the two countries are still mainly on the desk, not yet implemented effectively. Thus, its achievements are relatively modest. Besides, the article emphasizes that the interests of the people living in the border area, especially the Vietnam side, are almost “forgotten” in the development of cross-border travel between the two countries. Besides, the article also analyzes the challenges that the two sides are facing, especially the Vietnam side, in promoting the development of cross-border tourism between the two countries.

Introduction. Recent studies revealed that differentiation of valvular interstitial cell into myoﬁbroblasts played an important role in pathological valve remodeling in rheumatic valvular disease.

Objective. To investigate effects of atorvastatin, olmesartan, and resveratrol on Transforming Growth Factor β1-induced fibrosis.

Methods. Valvular interstitial cell was isolated from 12-weeks male New Zealand rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Culture cells was divided into 4 groups, control group, group I (0.5 mg/mL Atorvastatin), group II (100 nmol/L Olmesartan), group III (50 μM/L Resveratrol) and group IV (combinations). All group were exposed to 100 nM Transforming Growth Factor β1 for 24 hours.

Results. Immunochemical staining demonstrated that cells were completely differentiated into myofibroblasts with mean expression of α-smooth muscle actin 24522.64±4566.994. Atorvastatin, olmesartan, resveratrol, and its combination significantly reduced α-smooth muscle actin expression (6823±1735.3, 6942.7±2455.9, 14176.2±3343.3, 5051.8±1612.2 respectively (p<0.001).

Conclusion. Our data showed atorvastatin, olmesartan, resveratrol, and its combination significantly reduce Transforming Growth Factor β1-induced valvular fibrosis.

Published: August 2022

The emergence of the circular economy, and the evolving paradigms in the treatment and management of wastewater, have opened up an opportunity for co-digestion of organic waste (i.e., food waste) with sewage sludges to enhance resource recovery at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This paper reviewed the potential for anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludges, as well as alternative sustainable food waste handling systems in South Africa. The promotion of the circular economy by the latest national solid waste management strategy and the ongoing efforts for resource recovery by the wastewater sector suggests that anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludge is possible in South Africa. Furthermore, an integrated food waste disposer (FWD) system was identified as a sustainable alternative for food waste handling. To formulate a roadmap for future food waste and sewage sludge co-digestion implementation, a multi-disciplinary investigation is required to bridge the literature gap.

This report presents the results of low-altitude photographic transects conducted over the training areas of US Army Garrison Fort Wainwright, in the boreal biome of central Alaska, to document baseline land-cover conditions. Flights were conducted via a Cessna™ 180 on two flight paths over portions of the Tanana Flats, Yukon, and Donnelly Training Areas and covered 486 mi (782 km) while documenting GPS waypoints. Nadir photographs were made with two GoPro™ cameras operating at 5 sec time-lapse intervals and with a handheld digital camera for oblique imagery. This yielded 6,063 GoPro photos and 706 oblique photos. Each image was intersected with a land-cover-classification map, collectively representing 38 of the 44 cover categories.
