This study evaluated the impact of methanolic extracts from wild melon (Adenopus breviflorus) on growth performance, odour and disease control protocols in broilers. The experiment lasted for 42 days, in which 84 broilers were randomly assigned into four treatment groups. Each treatment was further replicated three times, with seven birds per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). Control group (T1) received all the necessary routine vaccination throughout their growth stages. Birds on T2, T3, and T4 were given 0.10g of methanolic extract of A. breviflorus in 10mls, 20mls, and 30mls of distilled water respectively. The result revealed that A. breviflorus were able to significantly (p < 0.05) improve the body weight gain and feed conversion ratio of the birds on the treatment groups. Odour control parameters showed significant reduction in some odour control parameters, and in disease management, helminthes and Newcastle disease were absent in T1 and T2 while being negligible in T3 and T4 in the experiment. Coccidiosis was absent in all treatments except T4 where it was slightly present. Microbes were present in all treatment groups. In conclusion, the study has revealed that methanolic extracts of A. breviflorus was able to enhance growth performance of the broilers while improving odour control protocols and effectively managing disease incidence.

Published: January 2025

Over the past two decades, less invasive salivary diagnostic tests have grown dramatically to replace painful and expensive blood sampling. The role of saliva in this growth trend has been enormous, due in part to a growing awareness of the great utility of saliva as a diagnostic tool within clinical settings and more specifically dental offices, as well as the increasing number of publications supporting new and varied applications of saliva.
With this objective in mind, we have conducted a scientific paper on rapid, multiplex and miniaturized analytical tests based on saliva in dental practice and their major contributions to determine non-invasively which pathology, which prognosis and which will be the judicious therapeutic strategy for the management of patients
Revolutionizing DevOps practices with deep learning: Towards autonomous pipeline management and error prediction
Authors: Osinaka Chukwu Desmond
Published: January 2025

From the evolution of software development methodologies to the rise of devops as the new approach to drive collaboration, automation and speed. However, the increasing complexity of modern software systems and the dynamic nature of IT environments make traditional DevOps tools insufficient as they often rely on static rules and manual intervention. This paper explores how deep learning can contribute to the future of DevOps and provides solutions to these challenges. Pattern recognition, prediction, and adaptation are the forte of the subset of machine learning known as deep learning, hence it is an undeniable candidate for proactive error detection, intelligent resource allocation and pipeline automation.
The article highlights two primary areas where deep learning revolutionizes DevOps: pipeline management and error prediction. Deep learning uses neural networks and complex algorithms to create intelligent decision making, real time monitoring and dynamic adaptation to the changing workflows. Case studies from the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and Facebook demonstrate how these technologies have helped to increase operational efficiency, decrease downtime, and improve system reliability.
While deep learning promises so much, it presents challenges such as high computational demands, data quality problems, and 'black box' deep learning models, making deep learning a challenge to implement in DevOps. Robust infrastructure, expertise in AI and commitment to transparency are required in addressing these challenges. The case paper highlights the fact that we cannot stay competitive in a swiftly evolving digital world unless we embrace DevOps with deep learning. Doing so helps organizations achieve unprecedented levels of automation, scalability, and reliability so they can achieve continuous innovation and operational excellence.
Optimizing project delivery through agile methodologies: Balancing speed, collaboration and stakeholder engagement
Authors: Adriana N Dugbartey  , Olalekan Kehinde
Published: January 2025

Agile methodologies have transformed project delivery across industries, emphasizing flexibility, collaboration, and rapid adaptation to change. Unlike traditional project management frameworks, Agile prioritizes iterative development, continuous feedback, and close stakeholder engagement, enabling teams to respond effectively to evolving requirements. This approach has proven especially beneficial in dynamic and fast-paced environments, where balancing speed and quality is critical. The principles of Agile, including incremental progress, self-organizing teams, and cross-functional collaboration, foster transparency and adaptability, ensuring alignment with project objectives and stakeholder expectations. The implementation of Agile methodologies offers unique opportunities and challenges. On one hand, Agile accelerates delivery timelines by breaking projects into manageable iterations or "sprints," allowing for regular reassessment and re-prioritization. On the other hand, successful adoption requires cultural shifts, comprehensive training, and consistent communication across teams. Effective stakeholder engagement is pivotal in Agile projects, as stakeholders play an active role in defining requirements, validating deliverables, and ensuring alignment with organizational goals. This article explores the evolution of Agile methodologies, their core principles, and their impact on project delivery. It examines case studies across sectors to illustrate how Agile can enhance project outcomes, from reducing time-to-market in technology projects to improving resource allocation in large-scale infrastructure initiatives. Additionally, it discusses strategies for overcoming common implementation barriers, such as resistance to change and misalignment between team dynamics and organizational culture. By balancing speed, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement, Agile methodologies provide a robust framework for optimizing project delivery and driving organizational success.
Effect of Chlorophytum borivilianum on erectile dysfunction
Authors: Dron Kumar Sahu  , Tilotma Sahu  , Suchita Wamankar  , Gyanesh Kumar Sahu
Published: January 2025

Chlorophytum borivilianum, which is commonly referred to as Safed Musli, is a medicinal plant that is extensively acknowledged within the framework of traditional Ayurvedic medicine for its potential to promote male reproductive health, vitality, and overall vigor. As a member of the Vajikaran Rasayana category, Safed Musli provides considerable therapeutic advantages, which encompass its aphrodisiac characteristics, effects analogous to testosterone, and its capacity as an antioxidant. This review scrutinizes the mechanisms that underpin the influence of Safed Musli on critical reproductive parameters, including sperm quality, testosterone synthesis, libido, and sexual performance. The steroidal saponins present in the herb mimic the action of testosterone, thereby facilitating spermatogenesis and maintaining hormonal equilibrium, whereas its antioxidant properties mitigate oxidative stress, thereby safeguarding sperm DNA and enhancing motility. Comparative analyses with other Vajikaran Rasayana herbs, such as Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) and Curculigo orchioides (Kali Musli), underscore the superior androgenic properties of Safed Musli, especially in relation to augmenting testosterone levels and improving sperm characteristics. Although Shatavari contributes to reproductive health by promoting hormonal balance and enhancing vitality, Kali Musli exhibits pronounced aphrodisiac properties, particularly in the enhancement of libido and erectile function. The multifaceted role of Safed Musli in addressing male infertility, hormonal dysregulation, and sexual dysfunction emphasizes its significance within both traditional and contemporary therapeutic paradigms. Subsequent research endeavors should concentrate on elucidating its bioactive constituents, optimizing dosage protocols, and conducting extensive clinical trials to validate its efficacy and safety.

Published: January 2025

Background: Despite successes in antimicrobial discovery, infectious diseases remain a threat due to drug-resistant microorganisms. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is crucial in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study investigates the knowledge and perception of undergraduate healthcare students at Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, on AMR and AMS, and their preparedness to implement AMS in clinical practice.

Method: Respondents knowledge of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship was investigated using a virtually administered questionnaire. Chi-square test of Independence was used to evaluate the relationship between specific variables and respondents’ knowledge.

Results: A total of 136 responses was received, which represents 93.79% of the sample size of 145. Pharmacy Students represent 51.47% of respondents, while Nursing and MBBS Students represent 28.68% and 19.85% respectively. There was a significant relationship between Students course of study and the level of knowledge of AMR with a p-value of 0.2061 > 0.05 significant level, while a p-value of 0.0461 showed there was no significant relationship between Students course of study and their knowledge of AMS.

Conclusion: The significant relationship between knowledge of AMR and course of study among undergraduate healthcare students of DELSU highlights the knowledge gap that needs to be filled with respect to AMR and AMS. This underlines the need to adjust University curriculum to better equip healthcare students as well as recent graduates on AMR and AMS. Further research may be done to know if these findings hold true for students studying health related courses in other universities within Nigeria.

Published: January 2025

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels, which can cause various complications, including damage to blood vessels, heart, kidneys, and increase the risk of stroke and death. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by insulin retention in muscle and liver cells, which ultimately interferes with the ability of pancreatic beta cells to produce insulin, so that glucose cannot enter the body's cells.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between independence and blood glucose values ​​in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Kamoning Health Center work area. The design of this study was a quantitative cross-sectional approach with a population of all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Kamoning Health Center of 55 people. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique, with a total of 48 patients.
The instruments used were the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire and the Easy Touch GCU blood glucose measuring device. The results showed that out of 48 respondents, 20 patients (41.7%) had controlled glucose values ​​with good self-care, while 1 patient (2.1%) had controlled glucose values ​​with poor self-care. On the other hand, 15 patients (31.2%) had uncontrolled glucose levels despite good self-care, and 12 patients (25%) had uncontrolled glucose levels with poor self-care. The Chi Square test showed a p value = 0.006, indicating a relationship between independence and blood glucose values. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between independence and blood glucose values ​​in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Good self-care behavior and routine monitoring of blood glucose values ​​are very important to control glucose values ​​and prevent further complications.

The Legacy of Cambodia’s Hybrid Court: Promoting Fair Trial Rights?
Authors: Kum Somaly
Published: January 2025

The mandate of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) concluded in 2022, marking the end of its nearly two-decade presence in Cambodia. Established as a hybrid court through a collaboration between the Cambodian government and the United Nations, the ECCC operated under a unique framework combining foreign and domestic laws, personnel, and judges. While the caseload of the court ended in early 2022, there are remaining legacies for Cambodians. This research investigates the legacy of the ECCC concerning fair trial rights and examines how national staff apply their experiences from the ECCC in the national courts. The article relies on document analysis and in-depth interviews with seven former and current Cambodian domestic court staff who worked at the ECCC to analyze three elements of fair trial rights: the right to adequate time and facilities to prepare a defense, the right to legal representation and to be present at trial, and the right to presumption of innocence. This paper argues that the legacy of the ECCC lies in its contribution to build the national staff’s capacity on fair trial rights in domestic courts in Cambodia. However, significant challenges remain, as the fair trial rights envisioned and put in place in the ECCC cannot be currently delivered by Cambodian domestic judicial system.
Menimbang Prospek Komunikasi Individual HAM: Politik Hukum dan Implikasi Potensial Bagi Indonesia
Authors: Ashri Abdul Munif , Triyana Heribertus Jaka
Published: January 2025

The individual communications procedure is a vital mechanism in international human rights law that enables victims to seek remedies when domestic legal venues have been exhausted or failed to deliver justice. Although Indonesia has acceded to almost all core international human rights treaties, its individual communications procedures have yet to be accepted. This study investigates the Indonesian Government’s human rights legal policy toward individual communications procedures acceptance through the ratification/accession of the ICCPR First Optional Protocol and ICESCR Optional Protocol, as well as analyzes the potential implications of such acceptance. This study utilizes a normative legal methodology coupled with interdisciplinary and conceptual approaches. In addition to analyzing legal materials, interviews were conducted with scholars, NGO activist, victim, and former Commissioner of Indonesia’s National Human Rights Commission to deepen the analysis. The findings reveal the Government’s lack of political will to accept individual communications procedures due to a tendency to avoid adjudicatory human rights accountability mechanisms and the avoidance of possible compliance costs, such as financial, reputational, and political burdens. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that these procedures’ acceptance has potential implications for opening access to justice for victims, providing strategic litigation channels, and facilitating interaction between treaty bodies and the national judiciary regarding the development of interpretations of human rights through judicial dialogue. The Government should consider ratifying/acceding the ICCPR and ICESCR Optional Protocols to strengthen the domestic human rights protection infrastructure and enhance its reputation as a promoter of human rights.
Theology of Migration: A Theoretical and Theological Contribution to the Understanding of Religion in the Fight Against Human Trafficking in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)
Authors: Oematan Isakh Bendris
Published: January 2025

Theology of Migration represents a form of praxis that elucidates the relationship between theology (religion) and social reality, with a particular focus on migration. This relationship is characterized by intricate, intertwining, and constructive engagement. This leads to the question of whether migration theology can address the issue of migrants who eventually become involved in the criminal act of trafficking in persons (TPPO). Since 2016, NTT has been identified as a key area of concern in the context of human trafficking. Recent research on the phenomenon of human trafficking has identified a number of socio-structural issues that contribute to its prevalence, including deficiencies in education, poverty, patriarchal structures, feudalistic systems, and the scarcity of natural and human resources. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that religion can play a significant role in the fight against TPPO in NTT. As an integral aspect of human existence, religion can serve as a foundation for efforts to provide crucial insights into the phenomenon of migration. Migration theology endeavors to reflect the phenomenon of migration in the light of public theology, thereby providing a basis for defense. This is then realized in practical actions against TPPO, with the objective of actively involving religion. In this context, migration theology will undertake a comprehensive examination of the various factors underlying the migration of people in NTT. It will then engage in interdisciplinary dialogue with the results obtained, particularly with regard to the teachings of Christianity concerning the phenomenon of migration (in terms of tradition, doctrine, the Bible, and theology). The latter can be enhanced with additional theological perspectives, particularly those pertaining to interfaith dialogue, in order to develop a comprehensive theological perspective on migration and to foster a distinctive theological approach to the migration patterns of the people of NTT. This research is grounded in a literature review employing a prosessional correlation approach, wherein Scripture, theological-dogmatic tradition, and socio-cultural human experience converge and engage in a dynamic interplay, ultimately manifesting itself in theological and practical terms.
Identifying Challenges to the Equal Realization of Human Rights for Individuals with Psychosocial Disability in Nepal
Authors: Maharjan Bidya
Published: January 2025

Nepal is currently facing a severe mental health crisis characterized by a significant prevalence of mental illness that remains largely unaddressed. The issue is exacerbated by pervasive social stigma, lack of awareness, and insufficient political commitment, pushing mental health to the bottom of the political agenda. In Nepal, mental health treatment predominantly focuses on biomedical interventions, mainly ignoring the human rights aspects, highlighting the crucial need for a paradigm shift in approach. The enactment of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) on June 6, 2010, presents an opportunity for a transformative shift in Nepal’s approach to mental health. This research investigates the barriers within Nepal’s rights-based mental health framework, drawing insights from individuals with psychosocial disabilities, their families, policymakers, legal experts, and NGO representatives. It features four case studies that highlight the challenges these individuals face, and the roles played by their families and communities in providing care. The objective is to provide insights into the daily realities of community members in Nepal. In summary, the study highlights the importance of adopting a robust human rights-based approach to quality practice. Such an approach, which fosters trust in engaging individuals with psychosocial disabilities, their families, the community, and mental health service providers, is not merely a theoretical concept but a vital requirement for enhancing mental health practices in Nepal.
Affirmative Action Model for The Rights Fulfillment of Indigenous Peoples in The Nusantara Capital (IKN) Area
Authors: Susmiyati Haris Retno , Grizelda Grizelda , Harjanti Wiwik , Alfian Alfian , Subroto Aryo
Published: January 2025

The decision to build a new capital on the Kalimantan Island called Nusantara caused various conflicts, such as the neglect and marginalization of indigenous peoples and the ignoring of their certainty of access and meaningful participation. This paper explains how the substance of the Nusantara Capital development regulation is to provide full protection to Indigenous peoples or vice versa, how it impacts the protection of Indigenous people's rights, as well as how the affirmative action model fulfills the rights of Indigenous peoples in the Nusantara Capital area. Through a socio-legal approach as the method, the results of the study found that the constitution has regulated the recognition of indigenous peoples, but in the substance of regulations related to the Nusantara capital, the phrases that regulate are very weak. The phrases used do not explicitly ensure the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, which has an impact on various neglect of the existence of indigenous peoples. As a result, a model of affirmative action is needed for indigenous peoples in the regulation of the Nusantara capital. This includes ensuring access for indigenous peoples to be involved in policymaking. Furthermore, transparency of information in the development of the Nusantara capital is important to formulate policies that accommodate the protection and fulfillment of the rights of indigenous peoples. It is important to ensure the recognition of indigenous peoples and their living space through an affirmative action model regulated by the head of the Nusantara capital authority.

Published: January 2025

La diáspora irlandesa durante la Edad Moderna apenas ha sido abordada bajo una perspectiva femenina. Esta contribución trata de estudiar la coyuntura migratoria de la mujer desde un flujo de movilidad y asentamiento bien delimitado, el de la comunidad irlandesa de Bizkaia en el siglo xviii. En este contexto setrata de analizar el devenir de cuatro mujeres irlandesas, procedentes de diferentes estratos y entornos socio-económicos —las casas de comercio atlántico, los talleres de artesanía, las tabernas y hospederías, y los servicios a las instituciones vizcaínas—, extrayendo circunstancias comunes que todas ellas afrontaron en su exilio, así como otras singularidades propias de la jerarquización social del Antiguo Régimen.
Producing food, children, and music: an ecofeminist perspective of Archaic Cyprus
Authors: Romero Mayorga Claudina
Published: January 2025

The Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology (University of Reading) houses a small collection of Cypriot objects, which includes 9 terracotta figurines holding different attributes: bread, shields, animals, and musical instruments, that is why they have traditionally been interpreted as ex-votos, created by a farming society to please gods and ensure prosperity. Unsurprisingly, most of them have been classified as female, while those with a shield and conic headgear have been recognised as male soldiers. This paper focuses on how these female figurines embodied the different roles assigned to women in the agricultural-based economy and religion of Archaic Cyprus. It also analyses the local economy from a gendered perspective, studying how women from a farming community faced domestic demands, complied with institutionalised religious and public roles, while providing children to secure descendance.
Obras de mujeres de los siglos XVIII y XIX en las colecciones de la Real Academia de San Fernando: correcciones y nuevas atribuciones

Published: January 2025

La Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando llegó a poseer 95 obras pintadas por mujeres según los inventarios realizados entre 1758 y 1964, en su mayoría donadas por las autoras para solicitar un nombramiento como académica. Sin embargo, muchas de ellas no se conocen hoy, bien por haber desaparecido de las colecciones bien por haberse perdido la memoria de su autora. Para este artículo hemos realizado un seguimiento de las obras realizadas por mujeres en todos los inventarios históricos de la Real Academia. Este seguimiento ha permitido devolver la autoría a dos pinturas conservadas hoy en día como anónimas, y que habrían sido realizadas por la Duquesa de la Roca y por Eulalia Gerona. Además, se ha localizado el paradero actual de una miniatura realizada por Ana Meléndez y una copia de otra miniatura realizada por Mariana Waldstein.

People in Buae village, Sidenreng Rappang, South Sulawesi, annually perform the Mappadendang harvest ritual to express gratitude for a successful rice harvest. This research aims to discuss the unique musical behavior of the community during the Mappadendang process, namely singing Sure' “Meong Palo Karellae”, and drumming “Lesung”. This research uses a qualitative design with an ethnomusicology approach. The author obtained research data through field observations, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using the flowchart technique: data reduction, display, and conclusion/verification. The results showed that Mappadendang music performances are related to spiritual, social, and entertainment functions. Mappadendang musical performances produce musical activities based on local wisdom creativity, including 1) Massure', which is the process of singing the text of “Meong Palo Karellae” with a vocal style produced in mono melodic form, played based on the interpretation of Passure' (Lontar Reader) tones. In Lesung drumming, the rhythm of Mappadendang is related to the concept of Sulapa Eppa'. Two rhythmic patterns are found: 1) “Manganak” is a pattern played by “Indo' Padendang” (female player), resulting in a four-beat interweaving played alternately and repeatedly. 2) “Mattang” is the rhythmic pattern played by “Ambo' Padendang” (male player), who plays contrasting rhythmic patterns, tending to produce synchronized rhythmic forms. The results of this research are significant because they reflect the community's views towards the sustainability of Mappadendang. Readers will know the uniqueness of Mappadendang music performance, which can inspire the creation of new art based on local wisdom.
Patterns of plant species composition of a temperate floodplain meadow in response to fine-scale topography

Floodplains are vital and diverse habitats, providing essential ecosystem services. In Germany, the total surface of floodplain meadows has decreased by over 80% since the 1950s due to human activities such as river channelisation and embankment as well as land use intensification, leading to changes in nutrient and pollutant input. However, effects of these changes on floodplain vegetation remain understudied, primarily due to their recent occurrence. Here we investigate the effects of terrain elevation, flow distance to permanent water bodies (rivers and clay ponds), groundwater-surface distance and thickness of the alluvial clay layer on the plant species composition of the floodplain meadows ‘Papitzer Lachen’ in Northwest Saxony, Germany. We make use of the Ellenberg indicator system to approach statistical results from an ecological point of view. We recorded the vegetation species composition on 20 relevés of 10 m x 10 m (100 m2) each across different floodplain meadow types along an elevation gradient. We classified the plant communities phytosociologically. In addition, we performed an ordination of the plots (detrended correspondence analysis, DCA) and compared the resulting axes to environmental variables using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. As abiotic factors, we used the elevation of each plot measured via DGPS in the field, least cost path to the next water body derived from a digital elevation model, groundwater-surface distance as well as thickness of the alluvial clay layer. We calculated the mean weighted Ellenberg indicator moisture value for each plot and compared it to the DCA results. Three of the stands were classified as Scutellario-Veronicetum longifoliae Walther 1955, eleven as Arrhenatheretum elatioris Braun 1915 and six as a Silaum-silaus-community. The relevés could be roughly separated in two groups along the first DCA axis. The first DCA axis showed significant correlations (p < 0.05) with ground elevation (r = –0.54) and alluvial clay layer thickness (r = –0.68) but no significant correlations with groundwater-surface distance and proximity to water bodies. The weighted mean Ellenberg indicator moisture values significantly correlate with distance to groundwater table (r = –0.59) and confirm a moisture gradient. The main explanatory variable for variation in the vegetation appears to be hydrology. However, variability in water levels which is typical for floodplains has declined. Main reasons are a smaller amplitude of water levels due to river regulation and long periods of droughts. This underlines the strong anthropogenic influence on floodplains. As floodplains are, especially due to their dynamic hydrology, particularly species-rich ecosystems, this study helps to document and understand this diversity to support a conservation value.
Consolidating Democracy in Ghana: The Role of the Social Sciences

Theories that underpin democratic consolidation makes allowance for movements either towards or away from stable democratic practice. But in all, the most significant underlying assumption in the plethora of literature on consolidation is that, after a successful transition, democratic values and norms become secured due to their entrenchment and favourable conditions that exists in society to make it work. Democratic consolidation connotes entrenching the practice where the people are involved in the day-to-day decision-making and also making sure that institutions work and work effectively. Since 1992, Ghana has transformed its rule from military to civilian one, democracy – where the citizens directly or through their representatives take the day-to-day decision on behalf of the people The main objective of the study is to examine the role of the various disciplines in the social sciences namely - political science, economics, development studies, sociology, psychology, law etc in the democratic consolidation process. The study is based on content analysis and desk review. It is the thesis of this paper that, practitioners in these disciplines mentioned could help in the entrenchment of democratic values by engaging the rule and the ruled to play their respective roles as established under the legal framework of the country. This eventually will lead to the strengthening of institutions, inducing transparency and accountability and imbibing in the citizenry civic culture and values thereby enhancing participation in decision-making and eventually consolidating democracy.
Tous les modèles sont faux, mais la complexité est utile: une approche systémique en psychologie de la santé

À travers cet article, nous proposons à la communauté francophone des chercheurs en psychologie une introduction à la théorie de la complexité et à ses apports potentiels pour la psychologie en général et la psychologie de la santé en particulier.Ainsi, nous présentons une approche qui considère les comportements comme des phénomènes émergeant d’interactions non nécessairement linéaires entre des facteurs psychologiques, sociaux et environnementaux, organisés en systèmes dynamiques.Cette perspective s’inscrit dans la continuité des développements méthodologiques de notre discipline, en mettant l’accent sur les phénomènes d’émergence et la complexité des relations entre les éléments d’un système.Nous avons choisi de présenter trois développements théorico-méthodologiques qui nous semblent particulièrement prometteurs. Nous montrons comment les analyses en réseaux nous permettent d’explorer l’architecture des interactions systémiques et leurs configurations complexes. Nous expliquons ensuite l’intérêt de la modélisation dynamique et des études intensives longitudinales pour comprendre les fluctuations temporelles et les boucles de rétroaction. Enfin, nous examinons le potentiel des analyses de signaux précoces pour identifier les moments propices au changement comportemental. Pour faciliter l’appropriation de ces concepts, nous nous appuyons sur le Modèle des Paysages à Attracteurs comme heuristique centrale.Tout en reconnaissant les limites actuelles non négligeables de ces approches – qu’elles soient statistiques, computationnelles ou éthiques – nous sommes convaincus de leur potentiel pour prolonger notre compréhension des comportements de santé et pour développer des interventions plus adaptées à leur nature dynamique.
