Authors: Lee Ji Yeon , Lee Ha Rim , Lee Kyung Hee
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand experiences in safety accidents and coping among family caregivers of persons living with dementia.Methods: Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 10 family caregivers who are the main caregivers of community-dwelling persons living with dementia. Inductive qualitative content analysis was conducted to reveal themes.Results: Three major themes emerged in this study: 1) various safety accident experiences, 2) coping with safety accidents, and 3) concern for the prevention of safety accidents. Family caregivers experienced various risks when caring for their care recipients with reduced cognitive function and trying to cope with a tailored method for persons living with dementia. However, family caregivers eventually recognized that none of the methods were perfect for preventing dangers and looked forward to the emergence of new methods to ensure a safe environment.Conclusion: Dementia care services and tailored information and communications technology (ICT) should be provided to promote the safety of persons living with dementia and their family caregivers in the community environment.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with the fear of falling after discharge in older adults who had surgery for fall fractures.Methods: The participants were 143 older adults aged 65 or older hospitalized at the General Hospital due to a fall fracture. Data were collected from July 2019 to June 2020 using questionnaires for activities of daily living, pain, depression, and fear of falling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression.Results: The average age of the subjects was 75.34±6.89 years, and 74.1% were women. The influencing factors on the fear of falling after discharge were activities of daily living (β=.31, p=.001), age (β=.20, p=.004), the need for walking aids or assistance in walking before the fall (β=.20, p=.005), and pain (β=.15, p=.027). Total explained variance was 55% (F=13.17, p<.001).Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to actively intervene the fear of falling once older adults are hospitalized, considering the factors associated with the fear of falling after discharge in older adults who had surgery after experiencing a fall fracture and to develop an educational program to reduce the fear of falling.
Revisiting Translation and Interpretation Issues in the Story of the African Royal Official ("Ethiopian Eunuch") in Acts 8:26-40: The Hebrew Bible (LXX) Background
Authors: Mbuvi Andrew M.
Published: December 2021

This article investigates the OT/Hebrew Bible background of both the designation Ethiopia and the translation and interpretation of εὐνοῦχος, and designation of "Ethiopian" in Acts 8:26-40. The jumping point is Prof Adamo's own brief chapter that engages the issue. Going further than Adam's brief article does, the argument seeks to establish the royal background of the Ethiopian official and challenges the use of the term 'eunuch' in translation, as it tends to misrepresent the identity of the official.
Resistance of Oppression in Exod 1-15 and Southern Africa: An Intersectional Perspective
Authors: Mtshiselwa Ndikho
Published: December 2021

The article investigates the oppression of people as well as its resistance in Exod 1-15 and Southern Africa, from an intersectional perspective. The Zimbabwean migrant women embody the intersectional struggles of the working-class people (class), women (gender) and immigrants (internationality) in Southern Africa. This scenario might have been the case in the world of the biblical texts. First, the study outlines the lived experiences of the Zimbabwean migrant women in South Africa in order to highlight the multi-layered and intersectional character of and the resistance of their oppression. Second, the essay probes the resistance of oppression in the Exodus narrative, with a specific interest in women. Third and lastly, the study shows how the intersectionality theory assists us in drawing a broader and relative depiction of the oppression of women in Exod 1-15 and in Southern Africa as well as the need to resist such oppression.
Professor David Tuesday Adamo's Biblical Scholarship on Women: Reflections from an African-South African Mosadi
Authors: Masenya Madipoane
Published: December 2021

One of the prolific writers in the discipline of African Biblical Hermeneutics is the Nigerian Old Testament (OT) scholar, Professor Tuesday David Adamo. In his tireless efforts to unlock the OT reality for African contexts, persuaded by his commitment to decolonise the subject of Biblical Studies, Adamo has made successful efforts to reflect on the African presence in the Old Testament. The present study seeks to engage Adamo's concept of African Biblical hermeneutics in order to investigate whether the author sufficiently discussed the theme of gender in his discourses. This research attempts to respond to the following two main questions in view of Adamo's discourses: (1) In Adamo's concerted effort of confirming the presence of Africa and Africans in the Hebrew Bible, does the woman question feature? (2) If so, how does Adamo navigate the question?

The Case of 'Suspected Adulteress': Reading Numbers 5:11-31 from the Perspective of a Married African Woman
Authors: Abasili Alexander Izuchukwu
Published: December 2021

As studies have shown, marital sexual infidelity is attested in every society of the world.1 In African societies, adultery is not only strictly prohibited on social, moral and religious grounds but is also regarded, in some African cultures, as an abomination. This is rooted, among others, in the sacredness of marriage in Africa and the inseparable link between the use of human sexuality in marriage and the generation of new life for the perpetuation of the family-lineage and the community. In theory, the ban on adultery applies equally to all married men and women but in praxis, there are some hints of gender injustice against women in observing the ban on adultery. The patriarchal context in some African cultures provides the background for such gender inequality and sexual injustice against women. By using bosadi biblical hermeneutics to interpret the Sotah ritual (Num 5:11-31) - a ritual that is gender-specific, meant only for women accused of adultery - this article condemns the sexual injustice endured by married women in some (African) patriarchal societies and advocates the reading of Num 5:11-31 and other biblical texts containing 'oppressive elements' in a way that is liberating and empowering to the oppressed and marginalised.

A Study of Cohesion in the Chinese Legal Text: Based on Criminal Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China
Authors: Li Shifang , Wang Yifan
Published: December 2021

This study analyzes the textual cohesion of Criminal Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China from the perspective view of Cohesion Theory. According to the data analysis, the study indicates that, in this legal text, the means of cohesion occurs totally 792 times, among which grammatical cohesion takes a large proportion, that is, 83.9%, while lexical cohesion takes the ration of 16.1%. In the lexical cohesion, the repetition is used much more frequently, followed by the means of hyponymy/meronymy, synonymy/antonymy and collocation, taking the ratio of 0.8%, 0.5% and 0.4% respectively. Thus, we can know from the statistics that cohesion is an important feature of the Chinese legal text. It connects the syntactic grammar and the lexicons into together closely in the Chinese legal Articles. Therefore, the paper points out that a proper understanding of the cohesive devices in the Chinese legal text is significant to legal draftsmen and social scientists in the field of language and the law, for they might improve the text quality of their work with it.

Published: December 2021

En Colombia, aún es poco el conocimiento de la distribución en áreas rurales de Aedes albopictus, vector de diferentes arbovirus. Su introducción en el país fue registrada por primera vez en Leticia (Amazonas) en 1998 y de allí se ha ampliado su distribución. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la presencia de Ae. albopictus en áreas rurales de Antioquia. En una búsqueda activa para la vigilancia entomológica de Ae. aegypti en veredas de algunos municipios de Antioquia que hacen parte del área de influencia de la Proyecto Hidroeléctrica Ituango, se recolectaron ejemplares de Ae. albopictus, en el intradomicilio, peridomicilio y extradomicilio de viviendas utilizando aspiradores manuales con cebo humano protegido para los mosquitos adultos; también se buscaron estados inmaduros en criaderos naturales y artificiales. Los especímenes se identificaron con claves dicotómicas en el Laboratorio de Entomología de la Facultad Nacional de Salud Pública de la Universidad de Antioquia. Se recolectó un total de 110 individuos de Ae. albopictus, de estos 55 fueron larvas y 55 adultos. Los principales criaderos fueron los inservibles. Este hallazgo es el primer reporte en áreas rurales en ocho municipios del departamento de Antioquia, con lo cual se amplía el conocimiento sobre la distribución del vector Ae. albopictus el cual constituye un riesgo potencial en la emergencia y transmisión de enfermedades como dengue, chikungunya y Zika.

GENÇLERİN SİYASAL TERCİHLERİNİN ŞEKİLLENMESİNDE PARTİLERİN MUHAFAZAKAR KİMLİĞİNİN ETKİSİ
Authors: AKTAŞ Ahmet
Published: December 2021

Siyasal tercihlerin şekillenmesinde sosyal, ekonomik, ideolojik, dinsel, demografik vb. birçok husus etkili olabilmektedir. Bu faktörlerin etki boyutu toplumdan topluma veya bireyden bireye farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışma, siyasal tercihlerin şekillenme sürecinde etkili hususlardan birisi olan dindarlık/muhafazakarlığın gençlerin siyasal tercihlerinin şekillenmesindeki etkisini tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın kapsamını 18-30 yaş arasındaki kişiler oluşturmaktadır. Nicel bir çalışma olarak tasarlanan çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında 1557 kişi ile çevirim içi olarak anket yapılmıştır. İki bölüm şeklinde tasarlanan çalışmada ilk bölümde oy verme davranışlarına yönelik teorik yaklaşımlar incelendikten sonra seçmen davranışında etkili olan faktörler irdelenmiştir. Çalışmanın ikinci bölümünde anket kapsamında ulaşılan bulgular değerlendirilmiştir. Toplanan veriler SPSS 21 aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda gençlerin siyasal tercihlerinin şekillenmesinde dindarlık/muhafazakarlık faktörünün sınırlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gençlerin siyasal tercihte bulunma davranışlarının rasyonel tercih kuramının ilkeleriyle bağdaştığı görülmüştür. Öte yandan gençlerin din ve siyaset ilişkisine yönelik tutumlarının liberal yaklaşım olarak ifade edilen “din ve siyasetin birbirinden ayrı olması” yönünde olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Animals as and on Resource Frontiers
Authors: Weis Tony
Published: December 2021

This paper attempts to locate changing interspecies relations in the dynamism and violence of capitalist expansion on a world scale, setting out two primary ways that the rising exploitation of non-human animals contributed to the development of settler-colonial economies, destabilization of indigenous societies, and transformation of ecosystems. One path was set by burgeoning demand essentially turning some wild animal species into increasingly valuable commodities and driving the rising scale and systematization of extraction and trade, which tended to quickly undermine conditions of abundance and make these animal frontiers very mobile. The second way started from the introduction of domesticated animals, with the muscle power and bodily commodities derived from proliferating populations valued not only in the expansion of agricultural landscapes but also in the formation and functioning of other resource frontiers, and ultimately bound up in waves of enclosures and expulsions. This framework seeks to simultaneously pose challenges for historical analysis and provide insights that help to understand the trajectory of animal life today.

Confrontación de las fuentes estadísticas del balance fiscal en México, 1934-1956
Authors: Martín Sergio
Published: December 2021

El balance presupuestario del gobierno mexicano es el indicador principal para evaluar la política fiscal y su impacto macroeconómico. El objetivo de este artículo es confrontar las series del balance fiscal de las fuentes primarias y secundarias y discernir cuál puede ser la más adecuada en la investigación histórico-económica de la etapa del desarrollo con inflación, 1934-1956, en México. Nuestra hipótesis señala que la fuente primaria en términos brutos que utiliza la metodología ingreso-egreso-balance no es la adecuada para evaluar la política gubernamental debido a que incluye rubros que distorsionan el balance fiscal y su impacto macro. La fuente primaria a utilizar es la que aplica la metodología del cálculo del balance fiscal vía su financiamiento. Las fuentes secundarias que usan la primera opción reproducen la deficiencia anotada, lo cual implica problemas de interpretación histórica. Al respecto, realizamos un análisis metodológico de la historiografía sobre el comportamiento de las finanzas públicas.
Application of gas analyzers for the control of fuel in the air environment of rocket and space industry enterprises
Authors: Bulgakov A. B. , Vashchuk S. P. , Panshin R. A.
Published: December 2021

The presented work shows the necessity of organization of individual instrumental control of the content of rocket fuel and its products in the air of rocket-space industry enterprises. No accurate analysis of gas analyzers presented on the Russian market, providing individual instrumental control of concentrations of heptyl and its derivatives in the workplace air is available. Therefore, the task of express, automatic, selective and simultaneous monitoring of heptyl vapors and derivatives of its transformation in the air of industrial premises by one instrument and replacing the imported gas analyzers remains urgent. It is shown that the solution of the posed problem is possible on the basis of the optical absorption method. The requirements to be met by the gas analyzer are formulated. Approximate wavelengths at which simultaneous measurement of concentrations of heptyl and its derivatives in an air sample is possible have been determined. The ways of realization of individual gas analyzers having small mass-size characteristics are outlined. Structural schemes for infra-red gas analyzers have been proposed: multi-channel; single-channel (with frequency modulation of radiation). Tasks for further research are formulated.

Public interests as a basis for the genetic information obtaining and using without consent of the person
Authors: Povarov Iu. S.
Published: December 2021

The article systematically examines the collection, storage, dissemination and use of information about private life (including genetic data) without the consent of the data subject under the pretext of having public interests. The relevant legal provision (Article 152.2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) is subjected to a thorough critical analysis from the perspective of: a) identifying its relationship with the norm of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for a general ban on uncoordinated transactions with the specified information; b) the breadth and uncertainty of the content (including due to the absence of any differentiation of regulation based on the type of actions performed on the information, as well as the evaluative nature of the concept of public interest). Based on the thesis about the inexpediency of unconditional refusal to use the category of public interest, the author emphasizes the relevance of the formulation and legislative fixation of algorithms for recognizing the fact of the presence of public interest (taking into account the provisions of Article 55 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), as well as the establishment of restrictions of a subject, target, organizational and other nature for the collection, storage, dissemination and use of information about private life in the public interest. Particular attention is paid to the issue of the voluntary participation of individuals in the planned general genetic passporting of the population of Russia (it is emphasized that ignoring the principle of consent cannot be explained only by referring to the presence of public interest).
Morfogeneza i rola ciała Balbianiego w oocytach kręgowców i bezkręgowców
Authors: Tworzydło Wacław , Sekuła Małgorzata , Biliński Szczepan
Published: December 2021

Ciało Balbianiego to nieobłoniony kompleks organelli komórkowych (m.in. mitochondriów, siateczki śródplazmatycznej, aparatów Golgiego, a także tzw. materiału nuage) zlokalizowany w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie jądra oocytu. Klasyczne analizy histologiczne i ultrastrukturalne wykazały, że ciało Balbianiego nawet blisko spokrewnionych organizmów może być zbudowane odmiennie. Podstawowe różnice dotyczą zazwyczaj zarówno składu organelli, jak i ich wzajemnych relacji. Wyniki badań molekularnych są również niejednoznaczne i wskazują, że ciało Balbianiego może brać udział w rozmaitych procesach zachodzących w żeńskich komórkach linii płciowej. Najlepiej poznano funkcjonowanie ciała Balbianiego w transporcie i lokalizacji specyficznych białek i cząsteczek mRNA, a także organelli (mitochondriów) do ściśle określonych rejonów oocytu i (konsekwentnie) komórki jajowej. W ostatnich latach wykazano ponadto, że ciało Balbianiego, związane jest nie tylko z transferem mitochondriów do zygoty i kolejnych pokoleń komórek organizmu potomnego, ale odgrywa też rolę w selekcji tych organelli, tj. eliminacji jednostek niefunkcjonalnych, zawierających zmutowany mtDNA.

Authors: RADMEHR Vahid , AHANGARPOUR Akram , KHORSANDİ Layasadat , OMİDİ Mina
Published: December 2021

Aim: Aging occurs in cells and tissues due to oxidative stress in physiological conditions. D-galactose (DG) is widely used to cause aging in animal studies. In this study, the renal protective effects of myricitrin and vitamin E in the aging mice model induced by DG was evaluated.
Material and Methods: Subcutaneous DG injection was used for induction of the aging model. 72 female mice were randomly divided into six groups: All groups were received DG at 500 mg/kg/d for six weeks. In the last 28 days, the groups treated with myricitrin subcutaneously received 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg/d, and the vitamin E group received 100 mg/kg/d by gavage. Urine and plasma albumin, BUN, creatinine levels, MDA, TAC, and kidney histological changes were evaluated.
Results: Plasma albumin was significantly decreased (p=0.001), but a significant increase in urine albumin (p=0.001), BUN (p<0.001), and creatinine (p=0.010) levels was observed in the DG group when compared with the control. Also, a significant increase in MDA levels (p=0.002) along with a significant decrease in TAC (p=0.012) was observed. Histopathological changes such as congestion of erythrocytes (p<0.001), infiltration of inflammatory cells (p<0.001), and proximal tubule cell damage (p=0.004) significantly increased, while glomerulus diameter significantly decreased (p=0.038) in comparison to the control. Administration of myricitrin and vitamin E showed a significant ameliorative effect on all studied variables.
Conclusion: The improvement effects of myricitrin on DG-induced kidney damage was approximately equivalent to vitamin E. Myricitrin and vitamin E could have beneficial effects on the nephropathy of aging model.

Published: December 2021

The effect of feeding pro-vitamin A cassava peel meal (PCPM) based diets to growing rabbits (n=48) for 61 days on their haematology and serum biochemical parameters was investigated. T1, T2, T3, and T4 diets were formulated with inclusion levels of 0, 15, 30, and 45%, respectively. In a completely randomized design, the rabbits were randomly allocated to four experimental groups of twelve animals each, with four rabbits constituting a replicate. On the last day of the study, blood samples were taken from each animal and analyzed for haematological and serum biochemical indices. The results of the proximate composition of experimental diets revealed that T2, T3, and T4 had high (p<0.05) ash values. T1 diet had higher (p<0.05) metabolizable energy (ME) in comparison with T3, and T4 diets. Red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells
(WBC) were improved (p<0.05) significantly in 15, 30, and 45% PCPM inclusions. T3 and T4 had better (p<0.05) packed cell volume (PCV) values, haemoglobin (Hb), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH), and mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) than T1 and T2. The treatment groups (T2, T3 and T4) had significantly higher (p<0.05) total protein, globulin, creatinine, total bilirubin, and aspartate amino transferase (AST). Cholesterol and urea levels were lowered significantly (p<0.05) in T3 and T4. All of the blood parameters were within the normal physiological range for clinically healthy rabbits,
indicating that PCPM was beneficial to the rabbits' blood formation and health. T4 group had the best results and was recommended for enhanced rabbit production.
Cristo sin Cristo: religión e idolatría desde las miradas de Edmund Husserl y Simone Weil
Authors: Orellano Carlo
Published: December 2021

La investigación presente analizará las semejanzas y relaciones encontradas entre los planteamientos de Edmund Husserl y Simone Weil respecto al fenómeno religioso de la idolatría. Para ello, señalaremos en primer lugar el tratamiento que la religión podría tener dentro del marco fenomenológico husserliano; posteriormente, nos enfocaremos en el análisis de una de las publicaciones póstumas de autoría weiliana. Respecto al filósofo austríaco, se recurrirá a textos de distintos períodos de su obra, por lo que implícitamente se contemplará una continuación entre sus denominados análisis estáticos y los genéticos.
Vigilar y programar: sobre la dimensión política del software
Authors: Jordán Rubén
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo explora el carácter farmacológico de la tecnología a partir del caso del software libre de navegación anónima por internet y su potencial político. Se defiende la tesis de que el software, que es la base del sistema de vigilancia y control psicopolítico neoliberal descrito por Byung-Chul Han, puede ser al mismo tiempo, cuando se implementa en programas de código abierto que camuflan nuestra huella digital, una herramienta para la resistencia y emancipación. Esto se debe a que dicha implementación ataca los principios fundamentales de la lógica de dominación dataísta: la transparencia y la predictibilidad.
Movimientos sociales en la era de las redes sociales
Authors: Peña Daria
Published: December 2021

Es evidente que los movimientos sociales no son los mismos desde la aparición de las redes sociales. Estas han revolucionado definitivamente la forma en la que nos expresamos, comunicamos y organizamos. Sin embargo, son una herramienta de doble filo. En este ensayo analizo las principales características de los movimientos sociales en la era de las redes, principalmente, desde dos perspectivas: la de Manuel Castells y la de Byung-Chul Han, a fin de determinar si estos están experimentando un desarrollo favorable o perjudicial para alcanzar sus objetivos y, sobre todo, para visibilizar los nuevos obstáculos que aparecen en la virtualidad y poder superarlos.
La inmanencia subjetiva como flujo virtual de emociones cinestésico-visuales y su potencia constitutiva de realidad
Authors: Granados Alejandra
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo reflexiona sobre la estructura dual del signo dada por la conjunción del significado, aquello que es objeto de comprensión, y el significante, el medio material que permite expresar lo comprendido. Sin embargo, considerando la vida de emociones despertadas por estímulos cargados de valoración estética, en particular el movimiento corporal y la música, la estabilidad y armonía de di-cha estructura dual son puestas en cuestión. En dicho contexto de inestabilidad, la creatividad y la transformación se manifiestan como condiciones esenciales y necesarias para la marcha del lenguaje.
Deus stultus: sobre el telos del sujeto contemporáneo
Authors: Matos Alejandro
Published: December 2021

Tomando en cuenta la plasticidad del ser humano bajo la concepción kantiana (autonomía) o sartreana (autodeterminación) podemos afirmar que su autenticidad o esencia está en cierto grado mediada por la contingencia. Siendo este el caso, el presente artículo busca indagar, en las fuerzas de la tecnología y virtualidad presentes, algunas pistas para concebir un telos hipotético que nos dé una imagen de las próximas transformaciones que podría atravesar el sujeto contemporáneo. Aquí se presenta una antropología filosófica contextualizada por nuestra nueva cotidianidad maquínica y digitalizada.
Genetic Analysis of Fruit Yield and its Components in Bottle Gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.]
Authors: Balat J.R. , Patel J.B. , Delvadiya I.R. , Ginoya A.V.
Published: December 2021

Background: The choice of parents to be incorporated in hybridization is a crucial step for breeders for the improvement of complex quantitative characters, such as fruit yield and its components. It requires extensive and detailed genetic assessment of existing germplasm and newly developed promising lines. The magnitude and type of gene action serves as criteria for selection of parents, which after hybridization are likely to produce the best recombinants for desirable traits. Methods: Forty five bottle gourd genotypes comprising 36 hybrids and 9 parents were evaluated in four different environments. Genetic components of variation were estimated for 12 different characters including fruit yield per plant. Result: The additive as well as dominant components were significant for fruit yield per plant and its components, revealing equal importance of both additive as well as non-additive gene effects. However, fruit yield per plant is under the control of dominance variance. Over dominance type of gene action, considerable degree of gene symmetry over all the loci, excess of dominant alleles in parents and high narrow sense heritability was found for most of the traits studied.
Evaluation of Antioxidant and Antifungal Activity of the Whole Part of Dactyloctenium aegyptium Weed on Bengal Gram

Background: This study was conducted about the effectiveness of weed Dactyloctenium aegyptium. Weedsare familiar dominant, redundant, adverse and weed that contend with sophisticated crop for water, nutrient and sunlight and another several reasons such as, high growth rate, high reproductive rate and produce harmful or beneficial allelopathical effect of cultivated crops. The stems of Dactyloctenium aegyptium are willowy, geniculate and leaves are found roughly. Methods: This Investigation was done in 2018-19 to 2020-21. Different part of Dactyloctenium aegyptium as leaves and seed was taken from the near area of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Agriculture and Technology University Modipuram Meerut. The samples were shade dry for 24 to 48 hours and then grind in the powder form. The extract were prepare in different organic solvent as Methanol, Ethyl acetate, Butyl alcohol, Benzene and Water at 1:10 ratio. Antioxidant activity of weed extracts by three methods named DPPH FRAP and ABTS methods. Result: All part of this weed show effectiveness due to the presence of active compound, who responsible for the positive result. Extract mixed with media at a particular concentration i.e. 5%, 10% and 15% show effect on soil borne fungal phytopathogens and then over the surface of petriplate the growth was appear reduce when we increase the concentration of extract. At the end we conclude that the 15% extract concentration of both part of Dactyloctenium reduce the growth of all the soil borne fungal phytopathogens.
Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases in Morocco: A Systematic Review
Authors: Elyamani Rida , Soulaymani Abdelmajid , Hami Hind
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE: To provide a systematic review of studies on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and their risk factors in the Moroccan population. METHODS: A systematic analysis was performed based on PRISMA guidelines by retrieving data bases (Medline, Embase, and other) using
technical keywords in addition to manual research on official websites. Published studies in the English or French language, conducted in Morocco or concerning the Moroccan population within the last two decades, were identified. RESULTS: This is the first systematic review of CVD in
Morocco. Data from 159 studies were retrieved and analyzed. Most studies were written in the English language (75.89%) and published between 2010 and 2019 (85.47%). The mortality rate caused by CVD in Morocco has reached 38%, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main events causing
death (31.0% and 22.5% respectively). The risk factors present in the population studied were headed by tobacco smoking (45- 50%), followed by physical inactivity (21.1%), elevated rate of hypertension (25.3%), and depression (5.47%). Impacted by a high rate of illiteracy and poverty and an
unprepared health care system in Morocco, these numbers are expected to increase over the next decade. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these alarming incidences, investment in scientific research and epidemiological studies should be increased to determine the needs of the local population. The
available evidence shows that the risk of cardiovascular disease and the associated mortality is very high in Morocco and will rise in the next years prospectively, which calls for urgent multi-sectorial approaches and treatment strategies.
