La rizipisciculture est une activité qui s’implante progressivement comme activité agricole au Mali, pays de tradition halieutique. L’objectif est de déterminer les performances zootechniques de Oreochromis niloticus et Clariasanguillarisenpolyculture danslesrizières.Cette étude a été conduite en 2013-2014 à l’Office du PérimètreIrrigué deBaguinéda (OPIB). 12 rizières ont été empoissonnées avec des alevins de tilapia et de clarias de poids et de tailles moyens respectifs de 21,39±0,37 g et 86,40±0,91 mm ; 32,05±1,32 g et 191,18±2,23 mm. Ils ont été nourris selon trois systèmes : Une fertilisation organique (T1), une fertilisation organique plus un complément à base de farine basse de riz (T2) ou une complémentation avec un composé mixte (T3). Chaque traitement a été « tripliqué ». A l’issue de l’élevage, le mode de gestion des rizières à poissons a une influence significative (p<0,05) sur les performances zootechniques piscicoles (poids et tailles moyens mensuels, GMQ, TCS et Kt). Le dernier système de gestion des rizières autorise de meilleurs résultats techniques. Les rendements de poissons à l’hectare sont plus élevés que ceux cités dans la littérature. En conclusion, la polyculture tilapia-clarias dans les rizières avec des aliments locaux pourrait être promue.
Rice fish farming or “rizipisciculture” a new fish production, has progressively taken place in rural areas in Mali, country of fishing tradition in its rivers streams. The objective of this study was to determine the zootechnical performance of Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias anguillaris in a polycropping system. This study was carried out during 2013-2014 in the area of “Office du Périmètre Irrigué de Baguinéda (OPIB” (Therefore 12 rice fields were stocked with fish of Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias anguillaris Young fish were reared with initially respective average weight of 21,39±0,37 g and 32,05±1,32 g and size of 86,40±0,91 mm and 191,18±2,23 mm. Fish were fed according to three systems: organic fertilization T1 (organic fertilization with supplement rice meal flour (T2) or supplementation with a mixed compound of rice meal and cotton cake (T3) Each treatment was repeated 3 times. At term of rearing, management mode of fish rice farming has a significant influence (p< 0,05) on fish zootechnical performances (monthly average weights and sizes, GMQ, TCS and Kt). The fertilization of rice fields combined to a mixed feed supplement intake allows better performances. Fish yields per hectare are higher than those cited in the literature, which supports the feasibility and promotion of tilapia-catfish polyculture in rice fields feed with local food in Mali.

Published: November 2023

The study analysed capture and culture fish production in National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR) adopted villages in  Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria for the year 2020. A total of 170 respondents from 300 respondents in NIFFR-adopted villages were selected through a random sampling technique. Data for the study were collected through a structured interview schedule. Data collected were  analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Percentage, Mean, standard deviation and Regression analysis). Results revealed that  almost half (44.1%) of the respondents were involved in capture fishery while 32.4% were involved in both capture and culture fish.  Respondents output mean for captured cat fishes were ( =1414.36), tilapia ( =1000.29) and lates ( =600.83), while culture catfish was (  =515). It was also observed that 29.4% of the respondents involved in fish culture practices had better income than 9.4% who only rely on  capture fishery. The study showed that capture fishery formed the main occupation of people and produce the highest number of fish  marketed in the study communities. The government at all levels should assist fishers financially to practice fish farming and do more in  regulating fishing activities on the water bodies to sustain capture fisheries.

Authors: Osaro B.O. , Edet C.K. , Ben-Osaro N.V. , Wegbom A.I.
Published: November 2023

Background: Modern Contraceptives (MC) use in developing countries is inadequate due to the low involvement of women in decisions  on reproduction. This study assessed the willingness to adopt MC methods postpartum by pregnant women attending antenatal care  (ANC) in Primary Health Centres (PHCs) of Rivers State Nigeria.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 379 pregnant women attending ANC in PHCs within Rivers State  Nigeria. Participants provided information on socio-demographics, reproductive history, awareness and knowledge of MC, partner  communication on MC, and willingness to adopt MC postpartum. Data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences  version 23. The chi-square test for associations and multivariate logistic regression analysis for predictors of willingness to  adopt MC postpartum were computed (P ≤ 0.05).

Results: Most of the participants (n = 257; 67.8%) were aged 25 – 34 years, married (n = 370; 97.6%) with good knowledge of MC (n = 316;  86.3%). Tubal ligation was the most known MC method followed by condoms and implants. The most desired MC method was injectables  (n = 111, 45.3%) while 245 (64.6%) participants were willing to adopt a method postpartum. Prior thought of adopting MC (AOR 24.628;  95%CI = 11.139 – 54.452) and having one living child (AOR = 0.201; 95%CI = 0.045- 0.905) were predictors of willingness to use MC  postpartum.

Conclusion: Willingness to adopt MC postpartum was high among women attending ANC in PHCs in Rivers State Nigeria.  Reinforcement of MC desires of these women by health workers is recommended.

Published: November 2023

Background: Obstetric hemorrhage is a contributor to worldwide maternal morbidity and mortality in low-resource countries. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practices on the use of uterine tamponade in managing severe postpartum hemorrhage  (PPH) by healthcare personnel.

Method: The study was descriptive and cross-sectional. A self-administered, structured questionnaire was used to collect data on uterine  tamponade from untrained and trained health workers who take deliveries in labour wards of selected health facilities. Respondents  were selected by cluster sampling technique. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Frequencies were determined and chi-square was  used to test the hypothesis. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: The mean age of the respondents was 35 years ± 11.7. Slightly less than half of the respondents 62 (42.5%) had poor knowledge  of uterine tamponade. The majority of respondents 120 (82.2%) had positive attitudes about uterine tamponade. This was associated with  point of service, professional group, and previous training on uterine tamponade insertion (p<0.05). About 70% (46; 69.7%) of  respondents who had managed cases of refractory postpartum hemorrhage, had never conducted uterine tamponade. Reasons include  inadequate knowledge (29; 63.0%) and unavailability of the commodities (9; 19.6%)

Conclusion: Though knowledge about uterine tamponade was poor, attitude towards uterine tamponade in managing severe post- partum hemorrhage was good. However, this did not translate to good practices on the use of uterine tamponade in managing severe  PPH. Training and re-training on the application of uterine tamponade should be conducted and commodities made available in every  health facility.

Published: November 2023

Background: Adolescents are often involved in risky sexual behaviour. It has been reported that most male adolescents have multiple  sexual partners, and most female adolescents use condoms inconsistently. This study assessed sexual behaviour, information sources on  Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), knowledge of SRH, and utilization of RH services among senior secondary school students in Ile- Ife, Nigeria.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 424 students randomly selected from six public secondary schools in Ile-Ife. The  instrument was a pretested, self-administered questionnaire. The median score was used to categorise SRH knowledge into good and  poor. Respondents who did not use condoms consistently, or had multiple sexual partners, or engaged in transactional sex were  categorized as having engaged in risky sexual behaviour. Respondents who sought any RH service in a health facility were categorized as  having utilized SRH services. ChiSquare was used for associations between categorical variables, while binary logistic regression was used  to test for the predictors of utilization of SRH services.

Results: Over a quarter (26.9%) of the respondents had experienced a sexual debut, with 52.6% doing so before 14 years. Teachers were  the most reported information source on pubertal changes (65.1%) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (71.7%). About 60.8% of  respondents had good knowledge of SRH; 55.3% of respondents had multiple sexual partners and 55.9% of respondents had utilized RH  services.

Conclusion: A good proportion of the respondents had good SRH knowledge; however, the prevalence of risky sexual behaviour was  high. Adolescents need adequate SRH education and promotion.

Background: In 2021, some state governments in Nigeria made it compulsory for all civil servants to get vaccinated against COVID-19.  Subsequently, the federal government adopted this policy which was met with mixed reactions. This study assessed knowledge,  perception, willingness to be vaccinated, uptake, and determinants of full vaccination among Nigerian civil servants.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 622 civil servants from Ministries across the six geopolitical zones  and the Federal Capital Territory using selfadministered structured questionnaires. Ethical approval was obtained from the National  Health Research Ethics Committee and analyses done using IBM SPSS v.26.

Results: The mean age of the respondents was 41.6 ± 9.1 years with most respondents (486; 78.1%) having good knowledge of COVID-19.  Two-fifths (252; 40.5%) agreed that there should be no blanket policy for mandatory vaccination. Most of the respondents  (463; 74.4%) had been vaccinated and about two-fifths (269; 43.2%) had been fully vaccinated while about a quarter 146 (23.5%) had not  been vaccinated at all. Of those (n=159) who had not been vaccinated or were unwilling to disclose their status, the majority 116 (73.0%)  were unwilling to be vaccinated. Respondents with a good knowledge of COVID-19 achieved full vaccination status (p = 0.007).  

Conclusion: Since the majority of the respondents who are Nigerian civil servants had a good knowledge of COVID-19 and had been  vaccinated, this study recommends that the government continues its health promotional campaigns towards improved uptake of  vaccination against COVID-19 in the populace.

Trypanosomosis is still a major impediment to livestock production in most tropical environments despite various efforts geared towards eradicating the disease. Small ruminants are known to be fully susceptible to pathogenic trypanosome infections, however, studies in small ruminants are still scanty compared to large ruminants. Comparative pathogenicity and biochemical changes in twenty West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep aged between 8-10 months were investigated. Sheep were randomly assigned into groups A and B and experimentally infected with either Trypanosoma congolense or Trypanosoma brucei. Both species of trypanosomes caused significant but varying degrees of alterations in the biochemical parameters studied. There was a consistent and significant increase (P<0.05) in the levels of total proteins, globulin, fibrinogen, urea, creatinine, sodium, bicarbonate, inorganic phosphate and chloride from day 21 post infection in both groups, and these were sustained till the experiment was terminated. Similarly, the levels of albumin, cholesterol and albumin/globulin ratio progressively decreased (p<0.05) post infection starting from day 28, whereas potassium levels remained unchanged throughout post-infection period. There was a strong positive correlation between total protein and urea in groups A and B (r = 0.937 and r = 0.908), respectively as well as between total protein and creatinine in groups A and B (r = 0.937 and r = 0.908), respectively. Generally, significantly higher biochemical alterations (p<0.05) in T. congolenseinfectedsheep. It can thus be concluded that trypanosome infection in sheep could lead to significant pathological and functional disorders in vital organs including liver and kidney which may have resulted in the biochemical alterations observed; these being influenced by individual trypanosome species.

This study assessed the sanitation and hygiene practices in an animal farm through walkthrough observation and one-on-one interviews, monitored the levels of selected air parameters in animal houses using portable air samplers, identified the Klebsiella species from the bacterial population in the nose and skin of selected ruminant animals, and skin of consented animal handlers; and examined the antibiotic sensitivity test (AST) on the confirmed Klebsiella (K.) isolates following standard procedures. Most handlers (77.78%) wash their hands before starting work without soap (55.56 %), with well (77.78 %) or spent water (22.22 %). A total of 181 and 132 distinct bacterial colonies and gram-negative bacteria species, respectively, were obtained. The highest bacteria count (28cfu/ml) was from Cattle nasal swab samples, while the lowest (17cfu/ml each) was from the skin samples of Goats and Sheep. Also, the highest gram-negative bacteria (24cfu/ml) was from sheep skin swab samples, while the least was from goat nasal swab samples. Eighteen of thirty-two presumed K. species were confirmed with colony characteristics and biochemical tests. Multidrug resistance (MDR) was prevalent in 77.7% of the confirmed K. species. Two-thirds of Klebsiella isolates in goats and cattle showed multidrug resistance, compared with 60% in Sheep and 100 % in handlers. Klebsiella's estimated resistance percentages against Penicillin, Cefuroxime, Ceftazidime, Nitrofurantoin, and Gentamicin were 100, 67.7, 50, 38.9, and 22.2, respectively. This study found a significant gram-negative bacteria load in the skin swabs of animal handlers, which will only worsen with inadequate personal hygiene and poor sanitation.

Measles is one of the leading causes of death among children under five in Africa. Studies showed that COVID19 has affected routine health services, including immunization services. We investigated to confirm the  diagnosis, identify the source, mode of transmission,  instituted control and prevention measures. We  interviewed caregivers and community people to find the source of infection. We used  case investigation form  to collect demographic, clinical, travel, and contact data. We conducted active case search in communities and  health facilities. We collected blood samples to test for measles antibodies and isolated case patients to prevent  transmission. A total of  60 measles cases were reported, five were laboratory confirmed and 55 by  epidemiological link. The median age was 4 years (range: 4  months – 23 years). Females accounted for 67% of  the cases. No travel history was reported. Bamoi Luma's Measles-Rubella vaccination  coverage was 28%. Only  20 patients (12%) received measles vaccination and vitamin A supplementation. Measles outbreak was  confirmed with more cases in the community. Factors contributed to this outbreak included low vaccination  coverage, impact of  COVID-19 pandemic on routine health services, and contact with measles cases. We  recommend routine measles vaccination and  community sensitization on measles prevention.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to investigate the effect of nanocellulose on the properties and physical foaming of ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer. The nanocellulose is prepared from waste carrot residue using the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation method (CT) and is further modified through suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer (CM). The obtained nanocellulose samples (CT or CM) are added to EVA to create a series of nanocomposites. Moreover, the EVA and CM/EVA composite were further foamed using supercritical carbon dioxide physical foaming. TEM results show that the average diameters of CT and CM are 24.35 ± 3.15 nm and 30.45 ± 1.86 nm, respectively. The analysis of mechanical properties demonstrated that the tensile strength of pure EVA increased from 10.02 MPa to 13.01 MPa with the addition of only 0.2 wt% of CM. Furthermore, the addition of CM to EVA enhanced the melt strength of the polymer, leading to improvements in the physical foaming properties of the material. The results demonstrate that the pore size of the CM/EVA foam material is smaller than that of pure EVA foam. Additionally, the cell density of the CM/EVA foam material can reach 3.23 × 1011 cells/cm3.

¿Afectan la persistencia-predictibilidad de ganancias y la reputación, la política de dividendos? Éste estudio aporta elementos nuevos con el fin de enriquecer el debate en torno a la pregunta en cuestión. Para ello se estructura un panel de datos de empresas listadas en América Latina con información financiera obtenida en la base de datos Datastream y un escalafón de reputación corporativa conocido como MERCO durante el período comprendido entre 2008 y 2016. Posteriormente se contrastan las hipótesis por medio de un estudio econométrico. Nuestro estudio econométrico se fundamenta en el modelo con que Lipe, R. (1990) estima el retorno de una acción a través de las propiedades de las series de tiempo de las ganancias, la tasa de interés utilizada para descontar las ganancias futuras esperadas, y la capacidad relativa de las ganancias en comparación con la información alternativa para predecir las ganancias futuras. Entre los principales hallazgos encontramos que la medida de persistencia aumenta la razón dividendos sobre activos, pero cuando se está en MERCO el resultado es negativo. Es como si las empresas se aprovecharan de aparecer en el ranking para pagar menos dividendos.

An Exploration into the Psychological Effects of Vending on Children Whose Parents are Vendors. A Case of Ruwa
Authors: Muchesa Simon , Chirata Agnes , Nyamavuvu Elijah , Sanyanga Yvonne
Published: November 2023

This study focused on the various psychological effects of the behaviours of vending parents which affect the lives of their children. The study also sought to find out how vendors’ children were affected psychologically by the activities of their parents who are vendors. The objectives of the research were to: examine behaviours of vending parents towards their children in Ruwa and explore behaviours of emotional and intellectual development exhibited by children whose parents are vendors in Ruwa. It also considered the impact of the physical environment on the psychological development of children of vending parents. The qualitative paradigm was adopted for this study and an exploratory research design was employed. The study population was six hundred (600) and the sample size was made up of sixty (60) participants recruited for this study, twenty-eight (28) were vendors and forty-two (42) were children of vendors. The research used observations and in–depth, interviews to obtain primary data Twenty-two (22) participants returned the questionnaires. Since street vendors and their children are found in specific areas dotted around Ruwa, the study used a purposive sampling method. The study established that parents who are vendors did not have time with their children, exposing them to street life and vending. This affected the behavior of children as they were influenced by the environment more than the parents. In addition to that the parents’ behaviours towards their children also showed some negative and positive reactions which shaped the development of these children. The study recommended that the government through the Ministry of Public Service and Social Welfare should put policies that cater to the social welfare of disadvantaged children, the Child Protection Act should make it an offence for a parent or guardian who uses a school going age child to sell commodities in the street. The Ministry of Local Government and Town Planning through the Ruwa Local Board should create a playing space for children while their mothers are vending. Libraries need to be constructed to cater for learners, especially those who are in high school, and to create space for children in their planning of marketplaces.

MSMEs Syarimpon and Melos (Melati Losari) are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises that focus on the production of herbal drinks in Malang Regency. However, during its development, these MSME players experienced several problems, one of which was the packaging process which was carried out manually. This makes the production process take longer and reduces work efficiency. Apart from that, the process of cutting packaging manually also causes a decrease in the quality of the packaging and its contents. To overcome this problem, one solution is to use a counter machine with an automatic counter. By using this machine, MSMEs can speed up the packaging process, produce precise and neat packaging, and provide the freedom to innovate in determining the size of the packaging to be produced. In the process of using this IoT-based Sachet Forming Machine, it has succeeded in increasing the productivity and quality of the packaging process by taking 3 -5 seconds for one herbal drink sachet so that each day it can increase production to 900 sachets per day. Where the packaging process is still done manually so it takes 4-5 minutes so the packaging process per day is only 50 to 100 PCS of herbal drinks.

Đặt vấn đề: Mở khí quản phẫu thuật (MKQPT) từ lâu đã trở thành tiêu chuẩn trong thực hành lâm sàng. Hơn 30 năm nay, mở khí quản nong qua da (MKQQD) đang được thực hiện ngày càng phổ biến dưới nhiều kĩ thuật khác nhau, trong đó phương pháp nong qua da một bước (SSDT) được ứng dụng rộng rãi tại các khoa hồi sức (ICU). Vì thế chúng tôi thực hiện đề tài này nhằm so sánh kết cục của MKQQD với MKQPT ở bệnh nhân thở máy tại khoa ICU. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu hồi cứu trên 122 bệnh nhân thở máy (trong đó 55 MKQQD, 67 MKQPT) tại khoa ICU Bệnh viện Chợ Rẫy từ tháng 06/2020 đến tháng 12/2021. Chỉ định MKQQD hay MKQPT do bác sĩ hồi sức lựa chọn. Kết quả: Nam giới chiếm 64,8%. bệnh nền đi kèm thường gặp nhất là đái tháo đường và tăng huyết áp. Bệnh nhân nhóm MKQPT có BMI lớn hơn so với nhóm MKQQD (22,29 (20,7-24,7), 21,26(19,67-23,94), p=0,03). Tỉ lệ biến chứng chung sau MKQQD và MKQPT lần lượt là 40,0% và 46,3% (p=0,49), không khác biệt có ý nghĩa thống kê giữa hai nhóm. Nhóm MKQPT có biến chứng nhiễm khuẩn tại chỗ nhiều hơn có ý nghĩa thống kê so với nhóm MKQQD (43,3% và 20%, p=0,011). Kết luận: Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy tỉ lệ biến chứng chung sau mở khí quản không khác biệt có ý nghĩa thống kê. Tuy nhiên, nhóm MKQPT có tỉ lệ biến chứng nhiễm khuẩn tại chỗ nhiều hơn nhóm MKQQD.

Published: November 2023

Neighbourhood parks are an essential activity venue for contemporary older adults and potentially impact their health. Most research has focused on the physical and visual dimensions of the park, with some studies demonstrating differences in the visual preferences of gender. Still, there is a lack of detailed research on the social and perceptual dimensions of male and female older people and a lack of research on psycho-emotional satisfaction and mechanisms to alleviate the psychological isolation of older people of different genders. In this study, a mixed research method was conducted to investigate the multi-dimensional interaction of older people using neighbourhood park, with a sample size of 418 participants from the Chaoyang district of Beijing, an integrated research method including questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and observation, Goodman and Kruskal’s gamma analysis and Grounded theory qualitative method applied by using SPSS and NVivo to analyse the elements of neighbourhood parks related psychological outcomes. A conceptual framework of multi-layered social interactions and the influence of different social interactions on the perceptual and psychological dimensions has been conducted, as well as the gender differences. The study found that the social, physical space and perceptual dimensions of neighbourhood parks all contribute to alleviating loneliness among older people, that site-based self-regulation also plays an important role, and that low-level social interactions generally affect older people. In contrast, mid-level social interactions have a significant effect on perceptual and psychological benefits, with a synergistic increase in impact, and older women show a more vital need for social activities and self-expression than men. The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis for a multidimensional spatial mediation to enhance the well-being of older people and provide new ideas for comprehensive multidimensional and multi-level ageing optimisation research.
