DiPPS: Differentially Private Propensity Scores for Bias Correction
Authors: Chen Liangwei , Hartmann Valentin , West Robert
Published: June 2023

In surveys, it is typically up to the individuals to decide if they want to participate or not, which leads to participation bias: the individuals willing to share their data might not be representative of the entire population. Similarly, there are cases where one does not have direct access to any data of the target population and has to resort to publicly available proxy data sampled from a different distribution. In this paper, we present Differentially Private Propensity Scores for Bias Correction (DiPPS), a method for approximating the true data distribution of interest in both of the above settings. We assume that the data analyst has access to a dataset D' that was sampled from the distribution of interest in a biased way. As individuals may be more willing to share their data when given a privacy guarantee, we further assume that the analyst is allowed locally differentially private access to a set of samples D from the true, unbiased distribution. Each data point from the private, unbiased dataset D is mapped to a probability distribution over clusters (learned from the biased dataset D'), from which a single cluster is sampled via the exponential mechanism and shared with the data analyst. This way, the analyst gathers a distribution over clusters, which they use to compute propensity scores for the points in the biased D', which are in turn used to reweight the points in D' to approximate the true data distribution. It is now possible to compute any function on the resulting reweighted dataset without further access to the private D. In experiments on datasets from various domains, we show that DiPPS successfully brings the distribution of the available dataset closer to the distribution of interest in terms of Wasserstein distance. We further show that this results in improved estimates for different statistics, in many cases even outperforming differential privacy mechanisms that are specifically designed for these statistics.
HealthE: Recognizing Health Advice & Entities in Online Health Communities

Published: June 2023

The task of extracting and classifying entities is at the core of important Health-NLP systems such as misinformation detection, medical dialogue modeling, and patient-centric information tools. Granular knowledge of textual entities allows these systems to utilize knowledge bases, retrieve relevant information, and build graphical representations of texts. Unfortunately, most existing works on health entity recognition are trained on clinical notes, which are both lexically and semantically different from public health information found in online health resources or social media. In other words, existing health entity recognizers vastly under-represent the entities relevant to public health data, such as those provided by sites like WebMD. It is crucial that future Health-NLP systems be able to model such information, as people rely on online health advice for personal health management and clinically relevant decision making.

In this work, we release a new annotated dataset, HealthE, which facilitates the large-scale analysis of online textual health advice. HealthE consists of 3,400 health advice statements with token-level entity annotations. Additionally, we release 2,256 health statements which are not health advice to facilitate health advice mining. HealthE is the first dataset with an entity-recognition label space designed for the modeling of online health advice. We motivate the need for HealthE by demonstrating the limitations of five widely-used health entity recognizers on HealthE, such as those offered by Google and Amazon. We additionally benchmark three pre-trained language models on our dataset as reference for future research. All data is made publicly available.
Host-Centric Social Connectedness of Migrants in Europe on Facebook
Authors: Khatua Aparup , Zagheni Emilio , Weber Ingmar
Published: June 2023

Extant literature has explored the social integration process of migrants settling in host communities. However, this literature typically takes a migrant-centric view, implicitly putting the burden of a successful integration on the migrant, and trying to identify the factors that lead to integration along various dimensions. In this paper, we flip this point of view by studying the attributes of natives that govern their propensity to form social ties with migrants.We do so by using anonymous and aggregate social network data provided by Facebook’s advertising platform. More specifically, we look at factors that influence the propensity for a likely-to-be non-Muslim Facebook user to have at least one social connection to a Facebook user who celebrates Ramadan. Given that, in the European context, following Islam is predominantly tied to a migration background, this gives us a lens into cross-cultural native-migrant connectivity. Our study considers demographic attributes of the host population, such as age, gender, and education level, as well as spatial variation across 30 European cities. Our findings suggest that young, educated, and male Facebook users are relatively more likely to build cross-cultural ties, compared to older, less educated, and female Facebook users. We also observe heterogeneity across the analyzed cities.
A BAYESIAN NEURAL NETWORK APPROACH TO MULTI-FIDELITY SURROGATE MODELING
Authors: Kerleguer Baptiste , Cannamela Claire , Garnier Josselin
Published: June 2023

This paper deals with surrogate modeling of a computer code output in a hierarchical multi-fidelity context, i.e., when
the output can be evaluated at different levels of accuracy and computational cost. Using observations of the output at
low- and high-fidelity levels, we propose a method that combines Gaussian process (GP) regression and the Bayesian
neural network (BNN), called the GPBNN method. The low-fidelity output is treated as a single-fidelity code using
classical GP regression. The high-fidelity output is approximated by a BNN that incorporates, in addition to the highfidelity observations, well-chosen realizations of the low-fidelity output emulator. The predictive uncertainty of the final surrogate model is then quantified by a complete characterization of the uncertainties of the different models and their interaction. The GPBNN is compared to most of the multi-fidelity regression methods allowing one to quantify the prediction uncertainty.

Published: June 2023

Over the past decade, with the emergence of environmental and human health concerns, research has focused on developing new solutions to replace fossil resources with more sustainable biobased resources. Furan derivatives can be obtained from plants, and their structures provide high resistance to high temperatures. Furan derivatives have been functionalized with phosphorus (P) to increase their fire-resistance properties. Thus, a new biobased bisfuran containing nitrogen and phosphorus (diethyl (((3-((((diethoxyphosphoryl)(hydroxy)(4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-yl)methyl)amino)methyl)benzyl)amino)(hydroxy)(4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-yl)methyl)phosphonate (HMF-MXDA-DEP)) was synthesized and used for the first time in polymerization to develop alkyd resins. The flame-retardant (FR) properties of these resins were studied. Alkyd resins are generally used as a binder in paint or varnish formulations. The use of a reactive FR during the polycondensation reaction of alkyd resins makes it possible to form covalent bonds and offer better durability over time. The impact of HMF-MXDA-DEP on film properties such as drying time, flexibility, adhesion and color was studied, and the thermal and FR properties were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis and pyrolysis–combustion flow calorimetry. Increased thermal stability and good FR properties of alkyd resins were demonstrated. In the cone calorimeter test, the lowest peak heat release rate (pHRR) was obtained with a coating of 2 wt% phosphorus HMF-MXDA-DEP on wood, and a 49% decrease in pHRR compared with that of FR-free alkyd resins was demonstrated.

Published: June 2023

Background: Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is a progressive, neurodegenerative autosomal recessive disorder affecting multiple systems of the body. Physical therapy has been found to be beneficial for improving function and quality of life in individuals with FRDA. However, there is little evidence supporting specific interventions that would address functional concerns in these patients, and the most optimal rehabilitation strategy has yet to be determined. Case Presentation: The participant was a twenty-six-year-old female who had been diagnosed with FRDA ten years earlier. After discontinuing physical therapy for three years, she started using a wheelchair and her function declined. The primary outcome measures employed to assess FRDA were the scale for assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA) and the functional independence measure (FIM). Other measures included strength, range of motion and neurologic screening. At initial examination, the participant presented with muscle weakness, poor balance and coordination, and mobility restrictions. The patient received intensive physical therapy with five weekly sessions over a period of three months. Interventions focused on coordinative, balance, and strength training activities. Results: The patient demonstrated a 30-point increase in the FIM, a 9-point decrease in the SARA, and amelioration in manual muscle testing scores upon completion of the rehabilitation program. Conclusion: The FRDA patient displayed improvement in all outcome measures. Strength, ataxia severity and functional abilities were enhanced while a higher level of independence was gained. Our observations suggest that an intensive multimodal approach holds potential in the management of FRDA and call for further research.

We are reporting, a case of 52 year old male, with obstructive uropathy who underwent cystolithotripsy surgery associated with chronic kidney disease presented with respiratory distress, tachypnea and hypoxia on 3rd post-operative day. He was on maintenance hemodialysis. Examination revealed absent air-entry on right side, dull percussion note on right side and positive trail sign. Chest X-ray and HRCT showed complete collapse of right lung with ipsilateral shift of trachea with mediastinum. Conventional physiotherapy postural drainage, breathing exercises, active cycle of breathing technique, forced expiratory techniques, spirometry, nebulization given for a day, no improvement seen because patient had strong cough reflex but unable to expectorate; any effort to cough caused more distress and breathing difficulty. Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation, a therapy in which the device which inflates the lungs(Insufflation pressure start at 15-20 cmH2O and increase to give an inspiration to total lung capacity, last for 2 second) followed by an immediate and abrupt change to negative pressure (exsufflation pressure same as the insufflation, then increase up to 10–20cmH2O, held for 3-6 second), which produces rapid exhalation, simulates cough and thus moves secretions cephaladly. Thus device helps patient cough out effectively. Lung collapse resolved within 1 day, regular physiotherapy was given to prevent recurrent lung collapse until discharge, X-ray and auscultation findings and oxygen saturation improved. It concludes, successful utilization of chest physiotherapy and mechanical insufflators-exsufflators aids in the resolution of lung collapse in an urgent situation.

Towards the African Economic Community: Legal and Historical Perspectives
Authors: Shumba Willie
Published: June 2023

This article submits that the 1963 Charter of the Organisation of African Unity provided a legal foundation for continental economic integration. This was followed by successive declarations and legal agreements such as the Lagos Plan of Action, the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community and the Constitutive Act of the African Union, all of which became more explicit. While the Organisation of African Unity of 1963 and the African Union of 2002 respectively pronounced the direction of the continental organisations, the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community was then established to translate the vision into actionable activities towards a continental economic community through the establishment of the Regional Economic Communities that would ultimately be the foundation blocks for the integration of the continent. The article shows that all the Regional Economic Communities have a strong legal appeal to achieve African unity and the desire to integrate African economies. Consequently, the African Union has to date attained a continental Free Trade Area and is still to attain a continental customs union and the common market using the same legal architecture, these being stages in developing an African Economic Community. The article also demonstrates that the various Regional Economic Communities owe their existence to the Charter of the Organisation of African Unity or the Lagos Plan of Action or the Abuja Treaty, all under the umbrella of the Constitutive Act of the African Union.

The rodent assemblages were studied in different habitat types in the northern part of the Fazao-Malfakassa National Park located in central-western Togo, West Africa. A suite of different methods was applied, including face-by-face interviews with local hunters, live trapping along standardized transects and opportunistic observations. A total of 20 rodent species were recorded based on the surveys carried out in villages, including 6 families and 17 genera. There was a clear gradient pattern in the univariate diversity indices by habitat type: Dominance index was remarkably higher in Urban/plantation than in the other habitat types whereas Evenness index was remarkably higher in gallery forest than in the other habitat types. According to a Canonical Correspondence Analysis, three “ecological groups” (= guilds) of species were formed: a group from wooded habitats (savannahs and semiforests), a group from grassy savannah and a group from urban/plantation habitats. Null model analyses revealed that species tend to non-randomly congregate in some habitat types and/or localities. The ecological implications of these data were presented.

Published: June 2023

Since the emergence of cities, their relationship with water resources has been evident, especially with rivers, which have been responsible for the growth and development of numerous cities throughout history. In this historical construction, the river-city relationship has faced ups and downs, and today it is a worrying and contradictory reality, where urban processes are characterized as one of the main causes of existing problems. Thus, the proposal of this research aims to understand the relationship between cities and the river, and for this, an object of study was selected - the Espinharas River, located in the city of Patos, in Paraíba. The method of analysis chosen was field research, aiming at loco visits, surveys, and the creation of conceptual maps, for the characterization of the riparian zones and understanding of their relationship with the city. As results and conclusions, it was verified that urban rivers face real problems due to urbanization processes, and that planning measures should be applied to obtain the re-establishment of the riveting that applies to the city of Patos and the Espinharas River, which are inserted in this context.

Population growth accompanied by inefficiencies in the management of sanitary effluents has been triggering adversities in relation to water quality. In view of the above, this work aims to analyze the concentrations of dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand in the water of the Córrego do Galante Hydrographic Microbasin - SP. Six strategic points were selected to carry out the research, each with its own characteristic, totaling eight collections of water samples, between the months of December/2021 to July/2022. Taking into account the results of the work, it was necessary to carry out an analysis of two chemical variables, which followed specific methodologies. Regarding the Dissolved Oxygen (DO), it was determined by the spectrophotometry methodology of HANNA Instruments, as for the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), it followed the method described in the Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater. The lowest DO concentrations obtained were recorded in the Dec/2021 and Jan/2022 periods. In general, over the period studied, the BOD resulted, for the most part, in values ​​outside the limits established by legislation. The period Feb/2022 for point 1 – east – resulted in a concentration of 181 mg.L⁻¹. It is concluded that the Córrego do Galante Watershed is an example of an environment that has been supporting constant anthropogenic impacts, being able to confirm this state through the OD and BOD variables. Among the negative factors, those that most influence the variations in concentrations are the release of sanitary effluent and urban drainage.
Vegetações de Telhados Verdes Utilizadas em Diferentes Regiões Climáticas para Mitigar o Escoamento Superficial

Published: June 2023

RESUMO

Os alagamentos são os maiores danos causados pela urbanização intensiva, responsável pela alta impermeabilização do solo. Sob esta perspectiva, os telhados verdes são opções viáveis e sustentáveis para evitar a sobrecarga do sistema de drenagem. A vegetação, portanto, deve ser cuidadosamente selecionada para alcançar a melhor eficiência hidrológica, pois é ela o fator mais influente do escoamento. Este trabalho tem como objetivo, por meio de uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL) e com o auxílio do Periódicos CAPES e da ferramenta computacional State of the Art through Systematic Review (StArt), analisar artigos publicados dentro da temática de Telhados verdes (TV) utilizados como alternativa para mitigar alagamentos, identificando as espécies que foram utilizadas em cada estudo, correlacionando com o clima local e identificando os gêneros de vegetais mais utilizadas em diferentes países. Observou-se que a vegetação (VG) mais proeminente associada à frequência no TV foi a Sedum sp, encontrada em mais de 50% dos estudos. Não foi possível identificar consistência ou frequência de seleção de VG em climas tropicais e áridos. Constatou-se também que em regiões de clima continental, todos os estudos utilizaram a Sedum para implementar e desenvolver práticas sustentáveis ​​de controle de escoamento em áreas urbanas. Portanto, é necessário entender o desempenho hidrológico da cobertura vegetal sob diferentes condições climáticas. Com relação a locais com climas tropicais e áridos, mais pesquisas são necessárias para determinar os gêneros  de VG mais utilizados na região.

Despite being an intrinsic factor in people's daily lives, active mobility still presents itself as a challenge in the model of Brazilian cities due to the lack of adequate and inviting structure for walking. This case study was carried out in a city located in the countryside of the State of São Paulo, with the purpose of enabling a higher quality in walking, reinforcing walkability and the importance of more sustainable modes of transportation, fostering urban vitality and reactivating neglected areas by promoting a network articulation to develop sustainable initiatives. In this way, it seeks to highlight the importance of popular participation in the construction and requalification of urban public spaces, not only in terms of displacement, but also in the occupation of idle spaces through the use of methods and tools, such as tactical urbanism, which proposes interventions in the city in the context of the micro scale, from short-term solutions, low cost and multipliable. The study presents the challenges and the results of the project, arising from the collection and systematization of data, and from the collective construction and continuous appropriation of space by the population.

This study aimed to determine the level of erosion that occurred on the slopes of plantation of coffee community in sub-district of Permata, district of Bener Meriah, Province of Aceh, conducted from January to August 2011. Coffee plantations of community were located in sub-district of Permata as samples, particularly in the village of Jungke which had 8 percent slope and the village of Seni Antara which had 30 percent slope. This study was conducted by field observation and laboratory analysis to predict the values of erosion using the method of USLE (universal soil loss equation). Further Erosion Hazard Level (TBE) was determined by considering the effective depth of soil. The results showed that the value of the actual erosion that occurred in the coffee plantation of community in the village of Seni Antara which had 30 percent slope at 87,711.47 tones ha-1 year-1 greater than the actual value of erosion in the village Jungke which only 8 percent slopes at 21.79 tones ha-1 year-1. Erosion Hazard Rate on slopes of 30 percent (village of Seni Antara) classified as very heavy, while TBE at 8 percent slope (Village of Jungke) as light. The main factors that affected the value of erosion were the value of LS (long and large slope) and the value of K (erodibility). To prevent erosion on coffee plantations advised people to be able to add shade trees, use of litter and planting cover crops.

Published: June 2023

Abstrak. Rembesan merupakan salah satu masalah yang sering terjadi pada tanggul. Besarnya rembesan sangat dipengaruhi oleh sifat permeabilitas tanah. Permeabilitas tanah akan menurun dengan meningkatnya kadar air dalam tanah. Rembesan yang terjadi pada tanggul akan membentuk suatu pola aliran air di dalam tubuh tanggul. Rembesan air akan berjalan sejajar dengan garis muka air tanah sehingga garis rembesan juga merupakan garis aliran. Sehingga garis-garis equipotensial akan memotong garis rembesan ini sehingga jarak vertikal antara perpotongan adalah sama. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa nilai debit rembesan berdasarkan rumus empiris jauh lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan metode pengukuran langsung dan program SEEP/W. Hal ini disebabkan karena pada metode empiris selain faktor permeabilitas dan dimensi tanggul, juga dipengaruhi oleh panjang zona basah. Sebaliknya, pada pengukuran secara langsung dan metode analisis dengan program SEEP/W, debit rembesan hanya dipengaruhi oleh nilai permeabilitas, tinggi muka air dan dimensi tanggul, sedangkan panjang zona basah tidak berpengaruh Analyses of Spreading Seepage Pattern on Embankment Model Abstract. Seepage are one problem that often occurs in the embankment. The magnitude of seepage is greatly influenced by the soil permeability characteristic. Soil permeability would decreased with increasing water content in the soil. Seepage that occurs in embankments would form a pattern of water flow inside the embankment. Seepage water will run parallel with the water  levels line so that seepage is also a flow line. So that the equipotential lines will cut the line permeability so that the vertical distance between the intersections is the same. The results obtained indicate that the seepage discharge based on empirical formula smaller than the direct measurement method and program SEEP/W. This is due because of at the empirical method besides permeability and embankment dimension, also influenced by length of wet zone. In contrast, the direct measurement and analysis methods with the program SEEP/W, seepage discharge is only affected by the value of the permeability, water levels and embankment dimensions, while the length of wet zone does not effect.

Use of Ionic liquids (IL) fit nicely into this bill with remarkably cutting the required reaction time and improving the yields and purity of the desired products. Other three more rapidly emerging areas of Green chemistry are Microwave Irradiation (MI), Phase transfer catalysis (PTC) & Sonochemistry (SC). Green chemistry is defined as the designing of chemical compounds and methods that minimizes or destroyed the use and generation of hazardous substances. The awareness of the said liquid is mainly due to their properties such as non flammability, lack of measurable vapor pressure, and good ability to dissolve organic, organometallic, and even some inorganic compounds. In this regards we report the applications of one of the Green Chemistry technique (Ionic liquid) with respect to Pharmaceuticals.

En los últimos años, los estudios paleodietéticos y paleoambientales han tenido un gran avance debido a nuevas técnicas, como el análisis del desgaste dental a nivel micro y macro y, el análisis de isotopos estables de diferentes elementos en los tejidos de los animales. Recientemente, la combinación de éstos proxies ha mejorado sustancialmente este tipo de estudios, sin embargo, estos análisis van de la mano con la biología y comportamiento animal, por lo que es fundamental primero comprender a las especies estudiadas. En el presente trabajo se describen los análisis comúnmente utilizados en los últimos años en el mamut columbino (Mammuthus columbi) y la relación que tiene la biología de esta especie con la correcta aplicación de estos análisis. Así mismo, las muestras y medidas tomadas de estos individuos fósiles deben tomarse con cuidado, ya que las peculiaridades en la ontogénesis dental, de comportamiento y metabolismo, son clave para la comprensión de los resultados obtenidos.

This research aims to examine how tourists' anxiety, fear, and travel habits influenced their travel intentions to Switzerland after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the relaxation of containment measures. This study uses the endogenous treatment effect method to analyze the impact of travel habits and fear on travel intentions, surveying 1042 travelers from Western Europe, India, the United States, and Switzerland and applying the two-stage least squares (2SLS) technique. The findings indicate that non-anxious tourists visiting rural areas and usually on short to medium-duration vacations were highly willing to travel. Anxious tourists who had previously traveled to ski resorts also expressed willingness to travel after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, non-anxious tourists typically making individual travel arrangements had greater intent to travel. This analysis suggests that positive past travel experiences increase the desire to travel despite negative factors like health risks and social distancing constraints, and the primary motivation for travel is to engage in outdoor activities as a response to confinement These results are important for travel agencies as they can leverage them to target and encourage tourists with appropriate offers and targeted promotional campaigns.

Relevance and research material. Flax is a perennial herbaceous plant with a high decorative value, with a long flowering, blooms in the first year of vegetation. The plant is undemanding to the growing conditions. As a result of multiple selection selections from a foreign variety, the long-term flax variety No. L-22 "Blues" recommended for use for decorative purposes was derived. The leaves and the bright color of the flowers provide a contrast to the perennial borders and flower beds. It looks good both in single and group plantings, as well as in cutting.

Results. The study was carried out in the open ground of the Moscow Region (2015-2022) on experimental plots of the flower crops sector of the Federal Scientific Vegetable Center. The most aligned form according to decorative features is L–22 with high seed productivity of inflorescences, decorative and winter hardiness. Variety testing and preliminary propagation of a promising long-term flax variety was carried out. Signs such as "plant height"
The heritability of tolerance to pathogenic fungi Alternaria dauci and Fusarium oxysporum by carrot hybrids

Published: June 2023

Relevance. Alternaria dauci, Alternaria radicina and Fusarium oxysporumare wide spread and harmful fungal diseases of carrot (Daucus carota L.) in the Russian Federation and in the world. Total losses of roots from these diseases are 35-70%. Obtaining of new varieties and hybrids resistant to these pathogens is complicated by the fact of polygenic control resistance traits to fungal diseases of Alternaria and Fusarium genus. Interaction of polygenic resistance traits with environmental factors causes the soft character of changing these traits: effects of interactions between alleles and genes are changed, the dominant effect become weaker, additive effect become stronger. So, we can say about of the tolerance to complex pathogens for that case.

The goal of our study is to determine the heritability of tolerance to fungal pathogens Alternaria dauci and Fusarium oxysporum by hybrids F1 of carrot.

Materials and methods. Materials of studies were 7 basic lines with different types of roots; 7 prospective hybrids F1 and mycelium of Alternaria dauci and Fusarium oxysporum with spores (for inoculation). Methods of studies were: evaluation resistance of lines and hybrids F1 (seedlings, adult plants and roots) at different types of infection backgrounds; dispersion and correlation analysis. Resistance the basic lines of carrot to fungi of Alternaria and Fusarium genus was evaluated step-by-step, using several types of artificial and natural infection backhybrids F1. Tolerant samples were selected and they were used in crossings. F1 – hybrids have been obtained and they have been evaluated at artificial and natural backgrounds.

Results: 1. One tolerant male form № 1268 and 6 female forms with weak sensitivity to fungi of Alternaria and Fusarium genus were selected from basic material. They were used in crossings. hybrids F1 have been obtained. 2. Analysis the heritability of carrot resistance to fungal pathogens Alternaria dauci and Fusarium oxysporum identified, that such type of resistance inherited by father’s type. 3. Using tolerant carrot line № 1268 in crossings as the male form and 6 female forms with weak sensitivity to fungal pathogens Alternaria dauci and Fusarium oxysporum increased significantly the percent of tolerant plant in 3 F1 – hybrid population under artificial infection on provocative infection background.

Background: The aim of the present work was to study the chemical composition and evaluate the insecticidal activity of Thymus algeriensis Boiss and Reut. essential oil (TAEO) against Aphis fabae Scopoli is a polyphafous which desap many cultivated plants, under shelter and in the open field. Methods: The extraction of essential oil from the aerial parts of T. algeriensis was performed by hydro-distillation (yield: 2.7% w/w). The extracted essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and by gas chromatography (GC). Result: From this essential oil 22 compounds representing 92.27% of the oil were identified. The main constituents were carvacrol (61.5%), g-terpinene (8.81%) and p-cymene (10.83%). The experiment was carried out in random blocks (05), to study the behavior of Aphis fabae and its host, namely Vicia fabae. Thus, twenty-five bean plants infested with black aphids were chosen and distributed at random. The plants were treated by spraying at different doses of (HETA) (control, acetone; 0.1; 0.05 and 0.01%). The results obtained showed that TAEO at 0.1% results in a decrease of infestation rate of A. fabae, leading a mortality rate of 75.51%.The results of the treatment carried out at the beginning of spring are very promising; oil could thus be used as bio-insecticide.
