Ferric sulphate flocculation as a concentration method for Giardia and Cryptosporidium in filter backwash water
Authors: Silva Kamila Jessie Sammarro , Sabogal-Paz Lyda Patricia
Published: March 2021

Filter backwash water (FBW) is a prominent residue from water treatment plants (WTPs) that is often disposed into water bodies or recycled within the WTP without due disinfection. FBW usually contains particles within a size range that includes pathogenic protozoa, as the infective forms of Giardia and Cryptosporidium, parasites responsible for waterborne diseases outbreaks. Quantifying (oo)cysts is essential for addressing this matter, as it might assist research on giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis epidemiology, as well as shed light onto disinfection technologies for FBW. However, (oo)cyst recovery from FBW and other complex matrices still lacks a standard protocol and entails specialized professionals and expensive material. Seeking to provide insight in a reduced-cost recovery method, this study analysed the recovery efficiency (RE) obtained by acid flocculation with ferric sulphate, a common coagulant, on bench-scale simulated FBW. Steps included concentration by flocculation, centrifugation, and quantification by immunofluorescence. Although recovery was sufficient for Cryptosporidium parvum (40.59%), Method 1623.1 recommendations were not reached for Giardia muris (1.76%). Coefficients of variation obtained for both organisms were not satisfactory, highlighting the variability to which environmental matrices are subjected and why defining a methodology for (oo)cyst recovery in WTP residues is important.

Authors: Pan Jianyang , Zhang Luquan , Xiong Difeifei , Li Bailing , Qu Haibin
Published: March 2021

Aims:

This is a pharmacokinetic study of Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection.
The study aimed to evaluate the mechanism of action, safety and rational clinical use of Salviae miltiorrhizae and
ligustrazine hydrochloride injection.

Background:

Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection is a compound preparation consisted of
Salvia miltiorrhiza extract and ligustrazine hydrochloride for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
diseases in China.

Objective:

The study aimed to develop a rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array
detector-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of six major
active ingredients of Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection, namely danshensu, protocatechuic
aldehyde, rosmarinic acid, lithospermic acid, salvianolic acid A, and ligustrazine hydrochloride, in rat plasma.

Methods:

Plasma samples were precipitated with methanol, which was spiked with ascorbic acid and the supernatant
was separated on a Waters Cortecs C18 column, by using a gradient mobile phase system of acetonitrile-water containing
0.05% formic acid (v/v). For internal standards, puerarin was selected for the five salvianolic acids, while
isofraxidin was used for ligustrazine hydrochloride. Besides, electrospray ionization in negative mode and multiplereaction
monitoring were used to identify and quantify the five salvianolic acids, whereas ligustrazine hydrochloride
was quantified at 310 nm using the diode array detector.

Results:

Noticeably, all calibration curves showed good linearity (R2>0.99) over the concentration range, with a
lower limit of quantification between 0.00411 and 0.0369 μg/mL for salvianolic acids, and 1.74 μg/mL for ligustrazine
hydrochloride. Next, the precision of the developed method was evaluated by intra- and inter-day assays, and
the percentage of relative standard deviation was within 10%. Although the extraction efficiency of some salvianolic
acids was not very satisfactory, the sensitivity of the analytical method met the analysis requirements of rat plasma
samples. Moreover, the validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of Salviae miltiorrhizae
and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection in the rat model.

Conclusion:

Linear pharmacokinetic characteristics were observed for the six active ingredients after intravenous
infusion administration in rats within the dose range examined here. In summary, our study proposed a HPLC-DADMS/
MS method with the simultaneous determination of multiple ingredients, and demonstrated its applicability in
pharmacokinetic studies.

A Distanced Eucharist in Bits and Bytes. Creating a True Encounter in Online Celebrations of the Mass during the COVID-19 Crisis
Authors: Magielse Michael-Dominique
Published: March 2021

Since the beginning of 2020, liturgical life in many countries around the globe has changed due to COVID-19 lockdowns or other measures related to the worldwide pandemic. While churches had to close their doors to the faithful, or only allow a limited of people to attend mass, communities brought their Eucharistic celebrations online in livestreamed or Zoom services. This phenomenon has raised questions about the authenticity of online celebrations of the Eucharist. Can those online services be considered as ‘real’ liturgy? In this article, I will address this question by focusing on embodiment and presence in the liturgy and how these key concepts of liturgical studies are being established in a new existential context of the online realm.

Published: March 2021

The current research aims at identifying the effect of different patterns of sharing in the electronic learning environment on developing information awareness and social interaction skills among students of the University of Hail. The research sample consisted of 18 students from the Department of Computer Science at the Community College-University of Hail, who was chosen and distributed randomly on three groups, the researchers designed the participatory e-learning environment model, and in light of the activity theory. The research experiment lasted three weeks. The students of the three groups studied the proposed scientific content through the “Black Board” learning management system, then the students performed an activity participatory implementation of the activities and tasks of the scientific content through the use of a cooperative learning strategy, with a different style of participation, as the first group students participated in the synergistic sharing pattern through the Web 2.0 tool (Twitter), and the second experimental group students with the parallel sharing style through the Web 2.0 tool (Video Sharing), and the students of the third experimental group in the style of sequential sharing through the Web 2.0 tool (Wiki). The results showed the effectiveness of the three types of participation (synergistic-parallel-serial) in developing information awareness and social interaction skills in favor of post-performance. On the other hand, the two modes of participation (synergistic and sequential) were superior to that of (parallel) in the development of cognitive achievement of information awareness. More Attention should be considered in designing and producing digital courses based on participatory learning systems.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one way to reduce further transmissions of SARS-CoV-2 is the widespread use of contact tracing apps. Such apps keep track of proximity contacts and warn contacts of persons who tested positive for an infection.

OBJECTIVE

In this study, we analyzed potential barriers to the large-scale adoption of the official contact tracing app that was introduced in Germany on June 16, 2020.

METHODS

Survey data were collected from 3276 adults during the week the app was introduced using an offline-recruited, probability-based online panel of the general adult population in Germany.

RESULTS

We estimate that 81% of the population aged 18 to 77 years possess the devices and ability to install the official app and that 35% are also willing to install and use it. Potential spreaders show high access to devices required to install the app (92%) and high ability to install the app (91%) but low willingness (31%) to correctly adopt the app, whereas for vulnerable groups, the main barrier is access (62%).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest a pessimistic view on the effectiveness of app-based contact tracing to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. We recommend targeting information campaigns at groups with a high potential to spread the virus but who are unwilling to install and correctly use the app, in particular men and those aged between 30 and 59 years. In addition, vulnerable groups, in particular older individuals and those in lower-income households, may be provided with equipment and support to overcome their barriers to app adoption.
The Relationship Between the Global Burden of Influenza From 2017 to 2019 and COVID-19: Descriptive Epidemiological Assessment (Preprint)

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

SARS-CoV-2 and influenza are lipid-enveloped viruses with differential morbidity and mortality but shared modes of transmission.

OBJECTIVE

With a descriptive epidemiological framing, we assessed whether recent historical patterns of regional influenza burden are reflected in the observed heterogeneity in COVID-19 cases across regions of the world.

METHODS

Weekly surveillance data reported by the World Health Organization from January 2017 to December 2019 for influenza and from January 1, 2020 through October 31, 2020, for COVID-19 were used to assess seasonal and temporal trends for influenza and COVID-19 cases across the seven World Bank regions.

RESULTS

In regions with more pronounced influenza seasonality, COVID-19 epidemics have largely followed trends similar to those seen for influenza from 2017 to 2019. COVID-19 epidemics in countries across Europe, Central Asia, and North America have been marked by a first peak during the spring, followed by significant reductions in COVID-19 cases in the summer months and a second wave in the fall. In Latin America and the Caribbean, COVID-19 epidemics in several countries peaked in the summer, corresponding to months with the highest influenza activity in the region. Countries from regions with less pronounced influenza activity, including South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, showed more heterogeneity in COVID-19 epidemics seen to date. However, similarities in COVID-19 and influenza trends were evident within select countries irrespective of region.

CONCLUSIONS

Ecological consistency in COVID-19 trends seen to date with influenza trends suggests the potential for shared individual, structural, and environmental determinants of transmission. Using a descriptive epidemiological framework to assess shared regional trends for rapidly emerging respiratory pathogens with better studied respiratory infections may provide further insights into the differential impacts of nonpharmacologic interventions and intersections with environmental conditions. Ultimately, forecasting trends and informing interventions for novel respiratory pathogens like COVID-19 should leverage epidemiologic patterns in the relative burden of past respiratory pathogens as prior information.
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Digital Intervention to Support Shared Decision-making in Children’s and Young People’s Mental Health: Mixed Methods Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Liverpool Shaun , Edbrooke-Childs Julian
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

Interventions to involve parents in decisions regarding children’s and young people’s mental health are associated with positive outcomes. However, appropriately planning effectiveness studies is critical to ensure that meaningful evidence is collected. It is important to conduct pilot studies to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention itself and the feasibility of the protocol to test effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE

This paper reports the findings from a feasibility and acceptability study of Power Up for Parents, an intervention to promote shared decision-making (SDM) and support parents and caregivers making decisions regarding children’s and young people’s mental health.

METHODS

A mixed method study design was adopted. In stage 1, health care professionals and parents provided feedback on acceptability, usefulness, and suggestions for further development. Stage 2 was a multicenter, 3-arm, individual, and cluster randomized controlled pilot feasibility trial with parents accessing services related to children’s and young people’s mental health. Outcome measures collected data on demographics, participation rates, SDM, satisfaction, and parents’ anxiety. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Google Analytics estimates were used to report engagement with the prototype. Outcomes from both stages were tested against a published set of criteria for proceeding to a randomized controlled trial.

RESULTS

Despite evidence suggesting the acceptability of Power Up for Parents, the findings suggest that recruitment modifications are needed to enhance the feasibility of collecting follow-up data before scaling up to a fully powered randomized controlled trial. On the basis of the Go or No-Go criteria, only 50% (6/12) of the sites successfully recruited participants, and only 38% (16/42) of parents completed follow-up measures. Nonetheless, health care practitioners and parents generally accessed and used the intervention. Themes describing appearance and functionality, perceived need and general helpfulness, accessibility and appropriateness, and a wish list for improvement emerged, providing valuable information to inform future development and refinement of the intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

Owing to the high attrition observed in the trial, proceeding directly to a full randomized controlled trial may not be feasible with this recruitment strategy. Nonetheless, with some minor adjustments and upgrades to the intervention, this pilot study provides a platform for future evaluations of Power Up for Parents.

Evaluating Community-Facing Virtual Modalities to Support Complex Neurological Populations During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Brehon Katelyn , Carriere Jay , Churchill Katie , Loyola-Sanchez Adalberto , O'Connell Petra , Papathanassoglou Elisavet , MacIsaac Rob , Tavakoli Mahdi , Ho Chester , Pohar Manhas Kiran
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic and concomitant governmental responses have created the need for innovative and collaborative approaches to deliver services, especially for populations that have been inequitably affected. In Alberta, Canada, two novel approaches were created in Spring 2020 to remotely support patients with complex neurological conditions and rehabilitation needs. The first approach is a telehealth service that provides wayfinding and self-management advice to Albertans with physical concerns related to existing neurological or musculoskeletal conditions or post-COVID-19 recovery needs. The second approach is a webinar series aimed at supporting self-management and social connectedness of individuals living with spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE

The study aims to evaluate the short- and long-term impacts and sustainability of two virtual modalities (telehealth initiative called Rehabilitation Advice Line [RAL] and webinar series called Alberta Spinal Cord Injury Community Interactive Learning Seminars [AB-SCILS]) aimed at advancing self-management, connectedness, and rehabilitation needs during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

METHODS

We will use a mixed-methods evaluation approach. Evaluation of the approaches will include one-on-one semistructured interviews and surveys. The evaluation of the telehealth initiative will include secondary data analyses and analysis of call data using artificial intelligence. The evaluation of the webinar series will include analysis of poll questions collected during the webinars and YouTube analytics data.

RESULTS

The proposed study describes unique pandemic virtual modalities and our approaches to evaluating them to ensure effectiveness and sustainability. Implementing and evaluating these virtual modalities synchronously allows for the building of knowledge on the complementarity of these methods. At the time of submission, we have completed qualitative and quantitative data collection for the telehealth evaluation. For the webinar series, so far, we have distributed the evaluation survey following three webinars and have conducted five attendee interviews.

CONCLUSIONS

Understanding the impact and sustainability of the proposed telehealth modalities is important. The results of the evaluation will provide data that can be actioned and serve to improve other telehealth modalities in the future, since health systems need this information to make decisions on resource allocation, especially in an uncertain pandemic climate. Evaluating the RAL and AB-SCILS to ensure their effectiveness demonstrates that Alberta Health Services and the health system care about ensuring the best practice even after a shift to primarily virtual care.

Questions to the Article: Features Constituting Actionable COVID-19 Dashboards: Descriptive Assessment and Expert Appraisal of 158 Public Web-Based COVID-19 Dashboards (Preprint)
Authors: Chien Tsair-Wei , Chou Willy
Published: March 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

The recent article published on February 24 in 2021 is well-written but remains several questions that are required for clarifications, particularly for readers who hope to replicate this study to assess the 158 selected web-Based COVID-19 dashboards. We design a dashboard including the 158 selected COVID-19 and other prediction-involved dashboards that were neglected in the previous study. The 158 dashboards were downloaded from Multimedia Appendix 3 in the previous study. The other two dashboards regarding prediction COVID-19 were included in the study to understand the characteristic of prediction COIVD-19 cases using mathematical models. We observed that (1) all those 158 dashboards can be laid on Google Maps for better understanding the research than the previous study; (2) the prediction-COVID-19 dashboards can be applied with mathematical models to strengthening the previous study. The lack of predictive models in the pandemic likely stunted the use of those 158 dashboards. Predictive approaches to dashboard design should be involved in the previous study.

Authors: GHANI EMAN M. ABDEL , SAYED ABEER M. EL , TADROS SOAD H. , SOLIMAN FATHY M.
Published: March 2021

Objective: Scaevola taccada. (Gaertn.) Roxb. is widely dispersed all along the coasts of Africa. It is used in folk medicine for diversity of ailments. This study aims to investigate the major phytoconstituents and biological activities of the leaves of S. taccada (Gaertn.) Roxb.

Methods: In vitro biological examination viz. antimicrobial, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of the ethanol extract of the leaves (EE) and its fractions; (petroleum ether (PE), methylene chloride (MC), ethyl acetate (EA) and n-butanol(BuOH)) were carried out. Estimation of the phytochemicals of biologically active fractions was done.

Results: n-butanol fraction displayed remarkable antimycobacterium activity. Petroleum ether as well as n-butanol fractions evidenced a cytotoxic effect on breast carcinoma cell line (MCF7) and colon carcinoma cell line (HCT) with IC50 11.7 and 15.04 µg/ml respectively. Moreover, ethyl acetate fraction exhibits an antioxidant effect with EC50 476.7±0.57 µg/ml. n-tetradecane 1, α-amyrin palmitate 2, α-amyrin acetate 3, α-amyrin 4, stigmasterol 5, luteolin-7-O-β-glucoside 6, rutin 7 and alidyjosioside 8 were identified in S. taccada (Gaertn.) Roxb. leaves.

Conclusion: Petroleum ether fraction is a cytotoxic candidate, especially against (MCF-7). It exhibited a moderate antifungal and antibacterial against certain Gram-positive bacteria. Ethyl acetate showed an antioxidant effect along with moderate antifungal activity. n-butanol fraction exerted potential antimycobacterial, significant cytotoxic activity against (HCT), good antifungal and antibacterial against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Stigmasterol, luteolin-7-O-β-glucoside, rutin and alidyjosioside were isolated for the first time from S. taccada (Gaertn.) Roxb. Leaves.
Self-testing with finite statistics enabling the certification of a quantum network link
Authors: Bancal Jean-Daniel , Redeker Kai , Sekatski Pavel , Rosenfeld Wenjamin , Sangouard Nicolas
Published: March 2021

Self-testing is a method to certify devices from the result of a Bell test. Although examples of noise tolerant self-testing are known, it is not clear how to deal efficiently with a finite number of experimental trials to certify the average quality of a device without assuming that it behaves identically at each run. As a result, existing self-testing results with finite statistics have been limited to guarantee the proper working of a device in just one of all experimental trials, thereby limiting their practical applicability. We here derive a method to certify through self-testing that a device produces states on average close to a Bell state without assumption on the actual state at each run. Thus the method is free of the I.I.D. (independent and identically distributed) assumption. Applying this new analysis on the data from a recent loophole-free Bell experiment, we demonstrate the successful distribution of Bell states over 398 meters with an average fidelity of≥55.50% at a confidence level of 99%. Being based on a Bell test free of detection and locality loopholes, our certification is evidently device-independent, that is, it does not rely on trust in the devices or knowledge of how the devices work. This guarantees that our link can be integrated in a quantum network for performing long-distance quantum communications with security guarantees that are independent of the details of the actual implementation.

Published: March 2021

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengembangan desa wisata Kaba-Kaba dalam persepektif masyarakat lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan data kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui metode observasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka. Tokoh masyarakat yang dipergunakan sebagai informan ditentukan dengan teknik snowball sampling. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam perspektif masyarakat lokal, desa wisata Kaba-Kaba memiliki kekuatan dalam pengembangan kegiatan pariwisata, seperti: daya tarik wisata alam, budaya, lokasi yang strategis dengan akses yang mudah untuk dijangkau, serta memiliki fasilitas pendukung yang memadai seperti villa. Kelemahan yang dimiliki yaitu: minimnya kemampuan sumber daya manusia lokal dalam berkomunikasi bahasa asing, tenaga kerja lokal belum menguasai potensi pariwisata secara komprehensif, serta minimnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan. Peluangnya yaitu: adanya dukungan pelaku pariwisata, kunjungan wisatawan yang cenderung kembali ke alam, dan kini desa wisata ini menjadi lintasan baru menuju DTW Tanah Lot. Tantangan yang perlu diantisipasi yaitu: terjadi persaingan antar desa wisata sejenis, dan pencemaran lingkungan. Untuk itu pemerintah diharapkan lebih berkontribusi dalam memberikan pendidikan dan pelatihan kepada masyarakat lokal.

Authors:   Universität Vilnius, Zubaitienė Vilma , Plaušinaitytė Lina
Published: March 2021

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den Spuren handschriftlicher Wörterbücher in der gedruckten deutsch-litauischen Lexikographie des 18. Jh.-s in Preußisch-Litauen. Im Einzelnen geht es um das “Littauisch=Deutsche und Deutsch=Littauische Lexicon” (1747) von Philipp Ruhig und das darauf basierende “Littauisch-Deutsche und Deutsch-Littauische Wörter-Buch” (1800) von Christian Gottlieb Mielcke. Beide Autoren deuten in den Wörterbuchvorworten die Verwendung handschriftlicher Quellen an, wobei Ruhig das nicht überlieferte lexikographische Material von Ernst Dicelius und Mielcke das Großwörterbuch von Brodowski (bis heute überliefert nur ein Teil der deutsch-litauischen Hälfte) namentlich nennen. Von den handschriftlichen Wörterbüchern werden die zu unterschiedlichem Grad miteinander verwobenen Handschriften „Lexicon Lithuanicum“ (Lex), „Clavis Germanico-Lithvana“ (C), das sog. Richter-Wörterbuch (Q), Krause-Wörterbuch (R) und der litauisch-deutsche Teil des Wörterbuchs von Jakob Brodowski (B) sowie das aus einigen Sekundärquellen rekonstruierte Material des mit der Handschrift Q eng verwandten Wörterbuchs Q1 (Staatsarchiv Königsberg Msc. 84 4°) herangezogen.
Promesa, ejercicio y desilusión: Sancho y el gobierno de Barataria.
Authors: Barriera Darío G.
Published: March 2021

Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra (1547-1616) fue contable, poeta, dramaturgo, soldado y, con toda seguridad, el autor más influyente del Siglo de Oro español sobre la literatura que se gestó desde entonces y construyó, a partir de sus obras, un tesoro de la lengua castellana. Pero además fue un agudo observador de su sociedad y un fenomenal intérprete del derecho, la justicia y las formas de gobierno. En este artículo se analiza un aspecto de esas observaciones: las que Cervantes vertió a través de los episodios vinculados con la promesa que Quijote hizo a su escudero, Sancho Panza, del gobierno de una ínsula, así como de la concreción de ese horizonte.

Sobre la misteriosa invención de los psicotrópicos
Authors: Paláu Castaño Luis Alfonso
Published: March 2021

Traducción del francés al español de Luis Alfonso Paláu-Castaño

«Hay pues, ciertamente, “alguna cosa” común en ratas, ratones, perros y seres humanos, más allá del soma, o a partir del soma. Después de todo, se puede tener confianza en la industria farmacéutica al menos en un punto: solo el resultado cuenta. Pero se está sobre una falsa pista si se cree que esa “cosa” está determinada por adelantado, que depende de una teoría de los animales, por ejemplo, de lo que tienen de común y de diferente con la especie humana. De hecho, esa “alguna cosa” que circula entre las ratas y los humanos no está dada por adelantado en las experiencias de los farmacólogos. Está en perpetua invención. Por lo demás, esta es la razón por la cual es tan difícil establecerla y caracterizarla.»
Prácticas de crianza, legado cultural afrodescendiente. Narrativas de mujeres afrovenezolanas
Authors: Rivas Armas Diónys Cecilia , Mercerón Ismenia de Lourdes
Published: March 2021

Las nodrizas, ayas, nanas, madres o amas de leche tenían a su cargo, durante la colonización y esclavitud en el Abya Yala y El Caribe, el cuidado y crianza de los hijos e hijas de los amos, y juntos asentaron el proceso de apego, vínculo afectivo y cultural. El propósito del presente estudio es visibilizar, desde las narrativas de mujeres afrovenezolanas, las prácticas de crianzas del legado cultural afrodescendiente que hoy día se continúan conservando, lo cual pasa a ser patrimonio inmaterial espiritual vivificado en los enclaves afrovenezolanos y los espacios urbanos. El estudio se abordó bajo la metodología cualitativa, que complementa el método etnográfico y biográfico-narrativo. Se hizo uso de grabaciones y encuentros conversacionales con cuatro mujeres afrovenezolanas elegidas intencionalmente, dos de ellasson las autoras del presente estudio. Las prácticas de crianzas, más que un hecho narrativo de la historia venezolana, son una práctica ancestral cotidiana donde las mujeres han sido y seguiránsiendo las protagonistas, transmisoras de valores, preservación de las concepciones religiosas y eje central del núcleo familiar.
¿Pensamiento crítico? Ni lo uno ni lo otro
Authors: Madrid Hincapié Joan Manuel
Published: March 2021

En el presente escrito de reflexión se plantea que una de las responsabilidades asignadas al educando es aportar al desarrollo del pensamiento crítico, la cual está contemplada en la Ley General de Educación 115 de 1994. Por ello, según una cuantiosa producción académica, se han podido mejorar los niveles de comprensión lectora y de competencia escritural en breves lapsos. Pero esto termina siendo contradictorio si se tienen en cuenta los recientes puntajes obtenidos en las pruebas PISA del año 2018 y los modos de proceder de la población colombiana en el presente confinamiento obligatorio, lo cual demuestra una escasa correspondencia con dicha capacidad intelectual. De allí que tales resultados sean cantinflescos para una condición que requiere mucho más que la lectura y la escritura.
A GIS approach to identify the Cork Oak Decline in M’Sila Forest (North-West of Algeria)

The decline of cork oak trees in North-West of Algeria was supposed to be caused by a combination of primary or predisposing factors, and secondary or opportunistic factors. There is a broad consensus about the role of water scarcity and nutrients in the primary causes, given the similarity of symptoms of cork oak decline and of chronic water deficits. To identify and characterize the cork oak decline in M’sila forest, a cork oak mortality index was determined for each transience area using a GIS approach and a linear regression model formulated by analyzing the interactions between the attributes of station (competition of superior and inferior floor); and allowing a justification of cork oaks mortality. The mortality index is significantly high in the invasive shrub plots and where the Aleppo pine density is very high; in which competition for soil water between the trees and the inferior floor increases. The lowest mortality value characterized by a lower density of Aleppo pine and herbaceous inferior floor.

Avec leurs 23500 ha, les Monts de Daïa-Saïda ont un relief accidenté, situées à environ 25 km à l'ouest de la ville de Saïda (chef-lieu de la wilaya). La végétation forestière est très représentative des groupements thermophiles de l'ouest algérien, dominés par le pin d'Alep et le thuya de Berbérie mais avec un remarquable sous-bois buissonnant. Les facteurs de perturbations sont multiples, certains connus et communs de toute l’Algérie voir la méditerranée comme les incendies, défrichement, érosion, pacage et coupes illicite mais un autre facteur de dégradation spécifique a cette région est peu connue et moins étudier qui est le préaménagement forestier, qui a causé des dégâts considérables aux formations forestières de la région. Cette étude a mis l’accent sur l’impact négatif de ces travaux sur les formations forestières de cet espace. L’étude de la dynamique des formations forestières des Monts de Daïa-Saïda à travers le traitement et l'interprétation de deux images satellites LandSat (1987 et 2015) avec l'élaboration de la carte de changement, est le but de cet article. Les résultats obtenus permettent d'affirmer la dynamique régressive de la forêt dans cette zone avec l'augmentation des matorrals et des zones dénudées combinée avec une régression remarquable des forêts. La partie nord du massif est la plus touchée par ce phénomène avec une très grande surface dénudée due aux incendies répétés qui l'ont affectée.
