Authors: Iskandar Maulana , Baroroh Anna
Published: October 2022

Stunting is a condition where a child's height is shorter than the height of a child of the same age as him. Stunting cases in Wonogiri Regency is still quite high, and this is homework for all elements of society, both the Regency Government, District Government, Village Government, Community Health Centers, and to Posyandu Cadres to reduce and eradicate stunting in the Wonogiri Regency area, especially Bulusulur Village. This Posyandu Cadre Empowerment Activity in Responding to the Zero Stunting Challenge aims to increase the active role of cadres as the spearhead who is directly in contact with the object of stunting cases, both for prevention and treatment. The method used is the PAR approach (Participatory Action Research) which begins with a planning survey to an evaluation followed by 6 Posyandu cadres in Klemut Hamlet. The material presented was Decreasing Stunting Rates through Socialization of the importance of 1000HPK and Provision of Supplementary Food from local products. The results obtained are that the participants better understand the importance of 1000 HPK in reducing and preventing stunting and increasing the creativity of the participants in making PMT products. However, the creativity of the participants can be maximized if there are training on making various PMTs both by the Puskesmas and from the Bulusulur Village Government.

A business will decide to carry out credit sales transactions with the aim of stimulating the interest of consumers / customers, increasing sales volume, winning the competition strategy and increasing market share as well as increasing the company's net profit. immediately paid off, there is also a risk of uncollectible receivables if they are not selective in selecting customers who are entitled to receive credit purchase facilities. Internally, it is necessary to record receivables properly and correctly so that the collection process and circulation of company funds embedded in receivables are smooth. Mitra Desa Indonesia is a laying hens business, still using manual recording, using notebooks, ballpoints and calculators. Cash and credit sales transactions are recorded in one book, cash sales are in the Debit column and credit sales are in the Credit column, an explanation of the receivables paid is in the Remaining column. Of course this is not a correct recording, transaction information is not conveyed in the financial statements or in the management of credit sales transactions which eventually become receivables. With observations for 4 (four) months, with an average transaction of 9.6 tons of eggs per month, of which 86.22% are credit sales, the author provides assistance in understanding the recording using the accrual basis, making cash flow and recording accounts receivable using a computer. simply (excel format). This is done by the author because with manual recording, there are many weaknesses, multiplication and wrong numbers. Making credit cards is very important because 86.22% of transactions are credit sales. Mitra Desa Indonesia should manage its receivables properly, supported by proper recording methods and credit cards as control of each customer's receivables.

L'information lors de la crise du Levothyrox en France en 2017. Etude du vécu des patients
Authors: TAINTURIER J , ROUSSELOT N , JOSEPH J-P
Published: October 2022

Contexte. En 2017, 2,3 millions de patients utilisaient le Levothyrox®, du laboratoire Merck, lorsque la formule a changé. Cette nouvelle formule a suscité plus de 17 300 déclarations d’effets indésirables. La crise a d’abord émergé sur les réseaux sociaux, puis a pris de l’ampleur dans les médias avant que les autorités sanitaires ne s’en saisissent. Objectifs. Décrire et analyser comment les patients ont vécu l’information lors de la crise du Levothyrox® en France en 2017, puis les sources d’information utilisées par les patients. Méthode. Analyse qualitative phénoménologique interprétative avec recueil des données par entretiens individuels semi-dirigés auprès de patients en cabinet de médecine générale. Réalisation d’un échantillonnage à variation maximale. Analyse assistée par logiciel NVivo 12® et triangulation par deux chercheurs. Résultats. 15 entretiens ont été menés. Lors de la crise, les patients ont ressenti un défaut d’information auprès de leurs sources habituelles entraînant une adaptation de leur comportement : recherche active d’information, d’où une multiplication des sources et des contenus. Les vécus étaient différents selon les sources d’information. La surexposition à l’information a majoré le sentiment de désinformation et la peur face à un phénomène incompris. Plusieurs facteurs protecteurs apparaissaient de manière spontanée ou adaptative : avoir eu une information précoce par un professionnel de santé de confiance, avoir refusé de s’informer pendant la crise, ne pas s’être senti concerné, adapter son comportement pour se protéger seul. Conclusion. Les patients sont de plus en plus informés, ce qui ne signifie pas qu’ils le sont de mieux en mieux. Lors d’une crise, le phénomène atteint son paroxysme, avec déstabilisation et perte de repères. Le rôle du médecin comme source d’information en santé devient alors déterminant.

LA REVUE PARAPLUIE COMME SYNTHESE DES CONNAISSANCES : UNE METHODE RECENTE EN EVOLUTION
Authors: MARQUILLIER T , KHAU C-A , BOUIX J
Published: October 2022

Le nombre croissant de revues systématiques publiées, la divergence de résultats qui oppose certaines études et la nécessité de disposer de preuves rapidement ont fait émerger le besoin d’une nouvelle synthèse d’ensemble des connaissances. La revue parapluie (ou umbrella review) est une forme de revue systématique qui compile les preuves d’autres revues systématiques. L’objectif de l’article était d’expliciter les apports de la revue parapluie en recherche médicale. Si la méthode de la revue parapluie n’est pas encore stabilisée, le Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) propose des éléments essentiels à intégrer dans cette revue. Des outils qualité doivent être utilisés afin d’évaluer les revues systématiques incluses tel AMSTAR (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews), le risque de biais avec l’outil ROBIS (Risk Of Bias in Systematic Reviews) ou encore le niveau de preuve par la classification GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). Une description narrative doit décrire les résultats avec l’outil d’extraction des données et des tableaux de synthèse des données qualitatives et quantitatives. Les revues parapluies peuvent appartenir à la catégorie des méthodes mixtes et apportent des réponses rapides à des situations complexes. Elles comportent toutefois des limites, dont la principale est le risque de reporter, voire d’exagérer, les inexactitudes des revues systématiques incluses. Ces revues parapluies confèrent une plus grande hétérogénéité statistique, clinique et méthodologique que les revues systématiques initialement évaluées. Ainsi, la revue parapluie est une méthode récente de synthèse rapide en santé, qui répond au besoin d’une connaissance d’ensemble des données disponibles et peut donc être moins précise. Elle comporte des risques de biais et il est nécessaire de rester prudent et critique dans leur lecture. Ce type de revue complexe peut être perçu aussi extensif que réductionniste.
UTILISATION DE LA TELE-EXPERTISE DANS LE PARCOURS DE SOINS DE LA MALADIE DE PARKINSON. ATTENTES ET CRAINTES DES PATIENTS
Authors: DEBUYSER A , DEVOS D , QUERSIN F , DESCAMPS A , DEFEBVRE L , HACHULLA E , MESSAADI N
Published: October 2022

Introduction. La télé-expertise est avant tout un moyen qui permet à un médecin de demander à un autre médecin un avis à propos d’un patient via un contact sécurisé. Depuis le 10 février 2019, les actes de télé-expertise sont rémunérés par l’Assurance maladie dans certaines conditions. Les patients ayant la maladie de Parkinson sont concernés par cette réforme. Leurs symptômes moteurs et non-moteurs peuvent compliquer l’accès à un avis spécialisé. La télé-expertise pourrait pallier leurs difficultés de déplacement et favoriser leur prise en charge neurologique, dont l’impact positif sur la qualité de vie des patients a été démontré. L’adhésion des patients est indispensable à la mise en place d’un tel dispositif. Le but de cette étude était d’évaluer si les patients sont prêts à intégrer la télé-expertise dans leur parcours de soins et ce qu’ils en attendent. Méthodes. Une étude qualitative incluant 15 patients ayant la maladie de Parkinson sans démence ni dysarthrie, a été réalisé par entretiens téléphoniques audio-enregistrés. Les données ont été transcrites ad integrum, triangulées et analysées à l’aide du logiciel NVivo12®. Résultats. Les patients considéraient la télé-expertise comme un moyen d’améliorer la qualité et la rapidité d’accès aux soins. La communication entre médecin généraliste et neurologue ou autre spécialiste permet l’accompagnement approprié et centré sur la personne. Ils craignent cependant une perte de contact humain et l’émergence d’une médecine paternaliste. Ils soulignaient aussi les difficultés techniques et organisationnelles d’un tel dispositif. Conclusion. Les patients semblaient prêts à intégrer la télé-expertise dans leurs parcours de soins, sans pour autant se substituer totalement aux consultations en présentiel. Elle représente un moyen novateur pour éviter la rupture de la continuité des soins lorsque les délais de rendez-vous avec un médecin spécialiste sont de plusieurs mois, et favorise la prise de décision collégiale. Reste à démocratiser cette technologie dans le milieu médical et à développer une collaboration interprofessionnelle.
Risk Profiling of Aflatoxin in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to the Filipino Consuming Population

Published: October 2022

Aflatoxin (AFL) is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus spp. and is commonly associated with peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), a major field legume in the Philippines. The major types of AFL are B1, B2, G1, and G2 – comprising the total aflatoxin (AFT). AFL exposure has been shown to cause both chronic and acute toxicity, with the liver as the main target organ. It is considered genotoxic and carcinogenic. The objective of this study is to establish the profile of the potential risks associated with the consumption of peanuts contaminated with aflatoxin to the Filipino consuming population. The study included [1] determination of data gaps in the risk profiling of AFL in the consumption of peanuts by the Filipino peanut-consuming population; [2] hazard identification and characterization; [3] estimation of dietary exposure (DE) and risk- based on uncertainties, variabilities, and assumptions; and [4] consolidation of available control measures and possible mitigation protocols for AFL in peanut. AFL was detected in 92% of all the peanut samples (n = 50) analyzed, with overall mean levels of 802.83 μg/kg AFT, 683.53 μg/kg AFB1, and 119.30 μg/kg AFB2 exceeding the maximum level (ML) of 15 μg/kg set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission for AFT. Considering the assumptions made and data gathered in this study, the estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of the Filipino adult (20–59 yr old) consuming population to AFT and to AFB1 in peanut – at 97.5th percentile consumption – were 1.22–6,527.18 ng/kg body weight (bw)/d and 1.22–5,574.90 ng/kg bw/d, respectively, which exceeded the recommended provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) of 1 ng/kg bw/d. The margins of exposure (MOE) were also generally estimated to be below 10,000, which indicates that it is a potential health concern and that it supports the need for further risk management actions.
Density, Orientation, and Distribution of Foliar Trichomes in Selected Philippine Traditional Rice Varieties with Resistance to Scirpophaga spp.
Authors: Viz Jerick , Pacada Imeldalyn
Published: October 2022

Pest infestation restricts rice productivity and, among rice pests, the stem borers (Scirpophaga spp.) caused substantial damage of > 20% yield loss. Host resistance is considered the most effective, economical, and environmentally friendly way for rice pest management, and Philippine traditional rice varieties (TRVs) are potential sources of genes useful in breeding for pest resistance. Leaf trichomes are the first physical barrier against any invading plant pests and to characterize the quantitative variations of foliar trichomes of six selected TRVs identified to have resistance – namely, Dinorado, Hinumay, Inarciaga, RED 18, C-4 Dinorado, and Mukol – these TRVs were evaluated using digital light microscopy. RED 18 consistently had the highest trichome density (5.374–9.390/mm2) in each and across the 2018 wet season (WS), 2019 WS, and 2020 dry season (DS) – even significantly higher (P > 0.05) than the resistant check TKM6 (4.489–5.783/mm2). For trichome orientation, Mukol (59.151–71.617°), and Inarciaga (57.395–72.464°) consistently had higher and/or statistically comparable angle values to the resistant TKM6 (59.654–71.617°), across each and 2018 WS, 2019 WS, and 2020 DS (P > 0.05). Within- and between-genotype variability showed that adaxial foliar trichomes have varying density and were not uniformly distributed across the leaf surface: densest (4.560–5.456/mm2) and mostly distributed (49.086–50.532%) in the apical zone of the leaf surface, and least dense (2.623–2.834/mm2) and rarely distributed (16.439–18.806%) in the basal zone. Based on desirable trichome traits and statistical similarities to TKM6, hierarchical cluster analysis delineated RED 18, Inarciaga, and Mukol as excellent sources of trichome traits that will improve plant structural defense against stem borers.

The rainfed lowland (RFL) rice ecosystem is prone to drought stress and high weed infestation, including weedy rice (WR), which often negatively affects the yield. This study examined the competitive ability of rice and WR under mixed culture and drought stress. Two rice genotypes (drought-susceptible IR64 and drought-tolerant INL73) and a WR were grown in root boxes with soil under mono (rice or WR only) or mixed (rice/WR) cultures and subjected to either continuously waterlogged (CWL) or progressive drought (PDR) conditions during the early vegetative stage. Under PDR, SDW in all planting cultures was reduced relative to their CWL counterparts. The WR in mixed culture had higher SDW than its monoculture counterpart, regardless of water treatments. SDW in mixed cultures under PDR was not affected in IR64, reduced in INL73, and increased in WR relative to their monocultures. Under PDR, water use (WU) was higher in INL73/ WR than in IR64/WR mixed culture. Between two mixed cultures, WR mixed with INL73 had higher SDW than when mixed with IR64. The differences in stomatal conductance between INL73 and WR under mixed culture were attributed to the greater increase in total lateral root length of the latter than the former genotype under PDR. Overall, the results showed that WR had greater competitive ability than rice under mixed cultures, especially with a drought-tolerant rice variety. This calls for careful planning of cultivar adoption in rainfed systems where WR is a problem.
Recreation Valuation of Caving Using Travel Cost Method in Capisaan Cave System, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines
Authors: Caranza Jayson , Calderon Margaret
Published: October 2022

The value of recreation services generated by the caving activity in Capisaan Cave System (CCS) in Kasibu Nueva Vizcaya was estimated using the zonal travel cost method, a revealed preference valuation technique. Data were collected through on-site and online visitor surveys with a total of 429 respondents. Regression analysis using the different functional forms of data was explored to estimate the demand function of the site. Results show that transformation of data in their natural log forms gave better linearity between variables, with estimated recreational values of the cave system ranging from PHP 1,703,500–2,098,300/yr and total access value of PHP 8,351,298–8,746,098 based on 2018 visitation data. These estimates provide a measure of the value of benefits derived from the ecotourism services of the CCS. These values need to be communicated to the stakeholders of CCS and its neighboring communities to increase appreciation for its recreation value. They should also be considered in evaluating development and preservation projects intended for the CCS.
Isolation and Characterization of Staphylococcus spp. and the Unintended Discovery of Non-Staphylococcal Strains Associated with Bovine Mastitis in Region IV-A, Philippines
Authors: Perez Rodney , Ancuelo Amily
Published: October 2022

Bovine mastitis is a common bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the mammary gland in dairy cattle. Staphylococcus is one of the most predominant and significant pathogens known to cause mastitis. Thus, this study was designed to isolate and assess the prevalence of Staphylococcus strains in dairy cattle with clinical mastitis in Region IV-A, Philippines. Baird Parker agar (BPA) supplemented with 5% egg yolk tellurite emulsion was used as selective media to differentiate coagulase-positive S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS). The isolated pathogens were phenotypically and genetically characterized for further identification. Surprisingly, out of 85 isolates, only 56.5% belong to the genus Staphylococcus and 43.5% were non-staphylococcus strains despite the use of a staphylococcus-specific selective medium. The overall most prevalent species among the isolates were S. chromogenes with an isolation rate of 21.2%. The antimicrobial resistance profiles of the isolated bacterial pathogens were also done. Several staphylococcal isolates exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics. S. aureus showed hyper-resistance to three out of seven antibiotics – specifically streptomycin, clindamycin, and lincomycin. Surprisingly, most of the non-staphylococcal isolates exhibited hyper-resistance to multiple antibiotics. Proteus mirabilis, P. penneri, and Providencia stuartii showed almost 100% resistance and hyper-resistance to all antimicrobials tested except amoxicillin. These findings suggest that the detection of diverse species of mastitis-causing microorganisms is an important concern for the dairy sector, as different pathogens might represent different hazards and require distinct treatments, particularly on the type of antibiotics used to treat the infection. The erroneous choice of antimicrobial could unnecessarily expose the udder microbial flora to antimicrobials, thereby inadvertently promoting the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens that poses a serious threat to both animal and human health. Extreme antibiotic resistance detected in strains present in mastitic dairy cattle also raises a substantial public health concern, particularly when it comes to the consumption of food and food products, such as milk.

Despite the control programs of the City Veterinarian’s Office (CVO), rabies is still geographically widespread across Davao City. Hence, a modified SEIV model incorporating different control strategies and adding population compartments focusing on reported rabies cases was formulated to understand dog rabies transmission dynamics. The model was fitted to the datasets of CVO from 2006–2020, such as the cumulative monthly positive rabies cases and the number of examined positive rabies samples in Talomo, Buhangin, and Poblacion districts. Results showed that the Talomo district had the highest rabies transmission rate but the lowest castration rate. On the other hand, the Poblacion district had the highest impounding rate and castration rate but the lowest birth and vaccination rate. Finally, the Buhangin district had the highest birth rate and vaccination rate but the lowest impounding rate and transmission rate. Sensitivity analysis (SA) was performed on over 10,000 samples of parameter space by the LHS method to obtain PRCC values. Results of the SA revealed that dog vaccination had a significantly strong influence among many interventions in mitigating rabies transmission – consistently in Talomo, Poblacion, and Buhangin districts. The results obtained in this study support the CVO’s ongoing mass canine rabies vaccination campaign in the city as a method of rabies control. Despite this, dog population control strategies (i.e. castration and impounding) must still be implemented in addition to intensifying vaccination strategy, as the birth rate also strongly contributes to increasing rabies transmission. Through the model and data fitting approaches, this study has provided information on the level of control measures implemented in three districts and can also be utilized to develop future rabies epidemiological models in Davao City and other locations.
Drivers and Barriers of Whole Grain Consumption in the Philippines: 2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey

Published: October 2022

Whole grains are considered one of the best sources of dietary fiber, which is beneficial for good health across different population groups. However, consumption remains low in the Philippines. This study aimed to evaluate the drivers and barriers to the consumption of whole grains among Filipinos across all population groups. The study is part of the dietary component of the 2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS), wherein the master sample (MS) was adopted from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). The ENNS is a two-stage cluster sampling design that covered 39 provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in the Philippines. About 78% of the 141,167 individuals, aged 3 yr old and above, who were sampled participated in the survey. Generated data were analyzed using STATA version 15.0. Slightly less than half of the participants (48.4%) consumed whole grains and products. The highest proportion of current consumers was from the highest income quintile (57.1%) and those residing in urban areas (49.6%). The most commonly described consumption pattern was consuming every month (38.7%), and the most common mealtime consumption was during breakfast (43.2%). Among consumers, reported drivers of consumption were as follows: good taste (56.1%), preference or habit of consuming (25.9%), beneficial and good for health (16.0%), convenient to eat, or easy to prepare (11.1%), and attractive packaging (9.7%). Among participants 15 yr old and above, more than half of whole grains were unaware of the health benefits of whole grain consumption, although approximately 20% perceived that the health benefit of whole grains is that they can “make you feel full.” The barriers to consumption were high cost (39.7%), lack of access or availability (36.6%), and bad taste (22.7%). Only half of the Filipinos surveyed were consumers of whole grains and products, and often they are only consuming these once a month. Lack of awareness of its beneficial effects, high cost, inaccessibility, and taste are the barriers to whole grain consumption. In order to increase whole grain consumption, it is suggested that actions to develop simple messages based on the drivers of consumption should be provided across varied communication channels, including social media, to fully address the barriers to whole grain consumption.

Published: October 2022

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), also known as fall armyworm (FAW), is a destructive and highly polyphagous insect pest of corn. We hypothesize that associated weed species of corn may be an alternate host of FAW. This study investigated how different weed species associated with corn – such as Rottboellia cochinchinensis (Lour.) Clayton, Ageratum conyzoides L., Amaranthus spinosus L., Celosia argentea L., Commelina benghalensis L., Corchorus olitorius L., Ipomoea triloba L., Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn., Portulaca oleracea L., and Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaertn. – influenced the biology of FAW, S. frugiperda, which were collected from an infested cornfield in North Cotabato, Philippines. The life history traits of 10 weeds were compared. In R. cochinchinensis, C. benghalensis, I. triloba, P. oleracea, and E. indica, there was a high number of egg masses and the number of eggs laid by the female compared to A. conyzoides, A. spinosus, C. argentea, C. olitorius, and S. nodiflora. The duration oviposition period, as well as adult male and female longevity, yielded the same results. The percent survival was the highest (97%) for I. triloba and the lowest for A. spinosus (83.5%) and S. nodiflora (82.50%). Furthermore, no survivors were found in A. conyzoides or C. argentea. According to our findings, six weed species promoted the growth of FAW from egg to adult.

Published: October 2022

In recent years, Aedes mosquitoes have become a serious health threat in the Philippines, causing a dramatic increase in dengue incidence. To design and implement adapted vector control measures, knowledge of vector composition and abundance is essential. Surveillance of mosquito populations using ovitraps was conducted for about two years (from April 2018–February 2020) in two selected sites (Sitio Payong and Villa Beatriz in Old Balara, Quezon City). These areas were identified as potential sites for small-scale pilot trials of the sterile insect technique. Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus were present in both sites, but Ae. aegypti was about 20 times more abundant than Ae. albopictus. There was a significant difference between the two sites in the number of eggs collected weekly but not in the OI. The number of Aedes spp. eggs collected were found to positively correlate with the maximum daily temperature. These data provide comprehensive, evidence- based information that will help in the design and implementation of Aedes control measures, as part of wider public health interventions for prevention and control.
Soil Quality Index for the Two Agricultural Areas along the Naboc River in Davao de Oro, Philippines Contaminated with Mercury

Published: October 2022

The study aimed to determine the soil physicochemical conditions, soil quality index (SQI), its relationship to soil total mercury (THg), and their spatial autocorrelation of the two mercury- contaminated agricultural areas in Monkayo, Davao de Oro, Philippines. Soil physicochemical parameters and THg were assessed, and the data underwent principal component analysis (PCA). The minimum data set (MDS) revealed that percent sand, pH, THg, phosphorus (P), and organic carbon (OC) significantly contributed to the SQI expression. The two agricultural areas (Diwata and Naboc) had comparable (P > 0.05) soil quality indices (0.46 ± 0.073 and 0.46 ± 0.11), which were categorized as Grade 3 (moderate SQI). THg was negatively associated with the SQI, with the regression coefficient (R) equal to –0.419 (p = 0.021); however, this association did not mean a causal effect. Hence, mercury (Hg) contamination could not be singled out as the sole factor in soil quality deterioration but rather the synergistic effects of the agricultural practices and the Hg contamination. Spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed that THg spatial distribution in both areas and the SQI of Diwata were clustered; however, the spatial distribution of SQI in Naboc was random. An in-depth study of soil microbiological function and the ecotoxicological effect of mercury on soil quality is deemed important to be studied.

Conservation genetic studies for Philippine pigs are essential to sustain global biodiversity. To study the phylogenetic relationship of Philippine pigs, 79 samples were collected from Ifugao (n = 41) and Kalinga (n = 38) provinces located in the Cordillera Administrative Region, northern Philippines. Mitochondrial DNA control region analysis was undertaken to investigate the phylogenetic relationship between the pig populations from the two provinces and other Asian and European pig breeds. Fourteen (14) haplotypes (H1–H14) were detected in the Ifugao and Kalinga samples. Several haplotypes – specifically, H1, H4, H9, H12, and H14 – formed an independent clade with the Type I Lanyu haplotypes, which are known to be unique in Taiwan pigs. The remaining haplotypes (H2, H3, H5–H8, H10, H11, and H13) clustered with the haplotypes of other Asian pig breeds within the major Asian clade. These results suggest the close relationship between Kalinga and Ifugao pigs and Type I Lanyu pigs. The existence of duplicate motifs also revealed that the native pigs from Ifugao and Kalinga belong to a distinct genetic lineage that clustered with other Philippine pig samples and separate from other Asian pigs, whereas the other samples may represent a recent introgression of modern lineages.

Authors: Jimenez Juanito , Gilbero Dennis , Alipon Marina
Published: October 2022

Young (3-, 5-, and 7-yr-old) falcata [Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J W. Grimes] trees were evaluated for their suitability to be processed into veneer and plywood. Three sample trees per age level were harvested from industrial tree plantations in Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines. A straight portion of each tree from the bottom up to 4.5 m long was cut and divided into three billets at 1.5 m each. These were assigned to be peeled into 0.85-, 2.20-, and 2.80-mm veneer thicknesses. Veneering was done in a spindleless lathe using established lathe settings for falcata billets. Veneer quality per thickness and age level was evaluated based on the frequency and depth of lathe checks (LC). Results showed that LC occurred more frequently in the 2.20-mm-thick veneer, but these were shallower than the 2.80- mm, which had less frequent but deeper LC. On the other hand, age was found to significantly affect the formation of deeper LC in the 3-year-old 0.85-mm thick veneer; thus, it should only be used as a core veneer. The bond strength quality test showed that, regardless of age, falcata plywood passed the glue bond requirement of PNS ISO 12466-2:2016.

Metal oxide nanoparticles are widely used in many agricultural, medical, and electronic products. This study was conducted to assess the effects of metal oxide nanoparticles on the total culturable soil bacterial population and enzymatic activities – namely, dehydrogenase (DHA), urease (UA), and microbial biomass (MCB) – using Philippine soils. The factors included the two soil types – Lipa clay loam (LCL) and Sariaya sandy loam (SSL) – and five treatments – namely, copper oxide bulk particles (bCuO), zinc oxide bulk particles (bZnO), copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs), zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), and untreated control. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot completely randomized design over a 28- day incubation period under laboratory conditions. Results showed no significant effect on the culturable bacterial population. The DHA of ZnONPs-, bCuO-, and CuONPs-treated LCL was significantly reduced up to 7, 14, and 28 days after amendment (DAA), respectively. This result was probably due to the strongly acidic property, high level of organic matter (OM), low permeability due to particle size distribution, and low phosphate concentration of LCL. For UA, it was significantly reduced in LCL by CuONPs up to 28 DAA, perhaps due to the inactivation of soil UA. UA, however, was significantly increased by ZnONPs up to 28 DAA, presumably due to the release of intracellular urease from dead cells due to the toxic level of Zn2+. Soil MCB was significantly reduced at 7 DAA in CuONP-amended LCL and ZnONPs- amended SSL, whereas bCuO- and bZnO-amended LCL had a significant increase in MCB. The effect of CuONPs and ZnONPs on the parameters measured was influenced by soil type. In conclusion, CuONPs could pose a threat to soil microorganisms, especially in clayey soils.

Balanced feeding of dairy animals is a costly affair in developing countries due to a lack of sufficient resources. A feeding cum digestion trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dried green Azolla (Azolla microphylla) incorporation in lactating Murrah buffalo’s diet. Multiparous Murrah buffaloes (n = 10) with an average of 30 d in milk and yielding 11.29 kg/d were distributed randomly into two equal groups. The control group of buffaloes was fed a concentrated mixture prepared with commonly available feed ingredients – including maize grain, wheat bran, cottonseed cake, groundnut cake, mustard cake, mineral mixture, and salt – whereas the concentrate mixture of the treatment group was prepared, including 10% of the dried Azolla, by keeping both the concentrate mixtures iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric. After 3 wk of preliminary feeding, a digestion trial was conducted for the assessment of nutrient utilization in two groups. Results indicated a positive response on the digestibility of dry matter (P < 0.05), organic matter (P < 0.05), neutral detergent fiber (P = 0.01), and acid detergent fiber (P = 0.015), whereas the digestibility of crude protein and ether extract remained unaffected (P > 0.05). Improvement in the digestibility of different nutrients without influencing the intake of nutrients indicated the importance of dried Azolla in the ration of lactating Murrah buffaloes.

The use of herbicides in combination with hand weeding has been shown to be effective against a variety of weeds in irrigated and rainfed wet direct-seeded rice in the Philippines. In the case of dry direct-seeded-drip-irrigated rice; however, these aspects are not known. A study was conducted to determine the influence of two weed control techniques on weeds, yield, and economics of dry direct-seeded-drip-irrigated rice under Philippine conditions. Four treatments – [T1] unweeded; [T2] application of pre-emergence herbicide using pretilachlor, followed by two times hand weeding; [T3] application of post-emergence herbicide using bispyribac-sodium, followed by two times hand weeding; and [T4] weed-free using the sequential application of pre- and post- emergence herbicides followed by six times hand weeding – were tested and arranged in RCBD with three repetitions. T1 has the highest weed density and biomass with lower grain yield (901.8 kg ha–1) but no net income. T2 and T3 had lower weed biomass than T1 but could not be compared with T4, where no weed density and biomass were recorded at 15, 30, and 45 DAS (days after seeding) in both dry and wet seasons. Grain yields at T2 (3,794.4 kg ha–1) were not significantly different from T3 (4,341.3 kg ha–1) except when compared with T4 (5,7245 kg ha–1). Net income in T2 was higher by PHP 20,575.1 over T1 and T3 by PHP 9,831.4 over T2. T4 had the highest grain yield among all treatments and achieved an advantage of PHP 45,272.1, 24,697.0, and 14,865.7 over T1, T2, and T3, respectively, in terms of net income. Herbicide application followed by hand weeding reduced weed growth and improved rice yield and net income. The combination of pre- and post-emergence herbicides followed by six times hand weeding was much more effective at suppressing weeds and achieving higher grain yield and net income.

Penser la résistance avec Foucault
Authors: Dastoreh Kaveh
Published: October 2022

Pensant le rapport entre théorie et pratique, l’approche foucaldienne est irrémédiablement liée à une situation actuelle et elle saisit les figures de résistance aux différents caractères du savoir ou du pouvoir. Le sujet est englobé dans les effets de la société, mais il a la possibilité de réagir librement à partir de ces conditionnements. L’image d’une liberté est inévitablement présente dans cette pratique d’engagement, image non liée à un idéal mais une contre-conduite qui engage une résistance. Foucault développe cinq types de pratiques qui sont des formes multiples et diverses de la résistance : (1) La littérature apprend comment transgresser les totalisations d’un discours. (2) « L’intellectuel spécifique » a la tâche de réagir aux rapports existants entre savoir et pouvoir. (3) Le philosophe mène une contre-conduite pour dévoiler les exagérations du pouvoir dans le contexte qui le concerne. (4) « L’éthique minimale » du sujet qui contourne les jeux de vérité et affirme sa subjectivité en s’inventant lui-même, dans un rapport permanent aux relations de pouvoir. (5) Dans ses travaux tardifs, Foucault rend également possible une « autre » pratique philosophique, liée à la pratique.
L’éducation comme acte alèthurgique dans Émile ou de l’éducation de Rousseau
Authors: Pérez Valérie
Published: October 2022

Dans son cours au Collège de France publié en 2012, « Le gouvernement des vivants », Michel Foucault élabore la notion de « gouvernement par la vérité » en étudiant notamment la tragédie d’Œdipe qui lui pose le problème de la conjonction entre le pouvoir et le savoir, entre le gouvernement et la vérité que l’on sait. En partant des analyses de Foucault et du concept d’alèthurgie, on est frappé par la figure du gouverneur dans l’Émile ; il apparaît stricto sensu comme la condition de l’émergence de la vérité de la nature, de la vérité de ce qui convient aux êtres humains, de la vérité de ce que doit être leur éducation. Dans les termes de Foucault, le dire-vrai s’authentifie de sa vérité dans « cette identification entre celui qui parle et sa source, l’origine, la racine de la vérité ». Dans l’Émile, la vérité implique un sujet qui peut dire « je » et « moi-même » : c’est le gouverneur, dont la fonction est aléthurgique. Cet article analyse le processus de la transformation de celui qui a un pouvoir et qui devient celui qui sait, sans passer par le savoir lui-même. À la suite de Foucault, nous conceptualisons ce processus en termes d’alèthurgie, ce qui permet de poser le problème de l’exercice du pouvoir qui « implique quelque chose comme une tekhnê, comme un savoir, un savoir technique, un savoir-faire, qui autoriserait un apprentissage, un perfectionnement, des lois, des recettes, des manières de faire ».
