Published: October 2020

Dans le but d’analyser la contribution du poulet indigène à la génération des revenus et à la sécurité alimentaire dans un ménage, une enquête longitudinale d’une année a été réalisée dans 45 exploitations avicoles du Département de Salémata (Sénégal). Les résultats ont montré que les effectifs de poules sont passés de 17,1 à 23,4 poules. Les causes les plus importantes de variation des effectifs des poules dans un ménage ont été la consommation (25,5%), les ventes (31,22%) et les pertes (38,68%). Les pertes ont été causées en grande partie par les rapaces (21,61%) et les chats (65,80%). Quant aux circonstances de consommation des poules, les plus importantes ont été les festivités religieuses (37,97%) et de fin d’année (26,06%) ainsi que les consommations domestiques (14,34%) ou d’accueil d’un hôte (11,52%). Les oeufs pondus (10,2) sont presque tous couvés (10,1). Les taux d’éclosion et de mortalité des poussins ont été de 81,36% et de 47,11%. Le rapport profit sur investissement, consommations internes du ménage incluses, a été de 4,05. Les consommations moyennes annuelles d’oeufs et de poules par ménage ont été de 56,7 oeufs et de 48 poules dans un ménage de taille moyenne de 7 personnes. Il ressort de cette étude que l’aviculture familiale constitue un moyen d’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et d’atténuation de la pauvreté. Des recherches doivent être faites pour améliorer la protection des poussins, l’alimentation et la santé des oiseaux.Mots clés : Aviculture familiale, sécurité alimentaire, lutte contre la pauvreté, socio-économie, Sénégal. English Title: Socio-economic importance of family poultry in SenegalA one-year longitudinal survey was carried out in 45 poultry farms in Salémata Department (Senegal) to show the contribution of family poultry to poverty alleviation and food security in a household. The results showed that chicken numbers increased from 17.1 to 23.4 hens. The most important causes of variation in hen numbers in a household were consumption (25.5%), losses (38.68%) and sales (31.22% hens). The most frequent causes of mortality were predators (Raptors: 21.61% and cats: 65.80%). The most important circumstances of consumptions were religious holidays (37.97%) and year-end (26.06%), the household (14.34%) or to welcome a host (11.52%). The eggs laid (10.2) are almost all incubated (10.1). The hatching rate and chicks' mortality were 81.36% and 47.11%, respectively. The return (profit/investment) with family consumption was 4.05. The average annual consumption of eggs and chickens per household was 56.7 eggs and 48 chickens in a household size of 7 people. This study shows that family poultry constitute an improving food security and poverty alleviation. Researches are to be done to improve chick protection, feeding and bird health.Keywords: Family poultry, Senegal, socio-economy, food security, poverty alleviation.

Published: October 2020

This study assessed the effects of social media on researchers’ work attitude at IITA, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. Proportionate sampling technique was used to select 82 respondents for the study through the use of questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using percentage, Chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Results showed that the frequently used media on a daily basis, were emails (87.7%), Facebook (76.6%) and WhatsApp (71.6%) while Skype (24.7%) and Twitter (21.0%) were used on weekly basis. Researchers used social media to source for journals (14.8%), collaborative research (38.2%) and connection with families and friends (41.9%) as well as for online dating (7.4%). Furthermore, 38.0% of the respondents accessed social media from their departmental office, personal office (29.7%) and their individual homes (13.6%). Researchers agreed that social media were essential office tools (37.0%), retarded their work (3.7%) as well as wasted their time (1.2%). Chi-square analysis showed that there was significant relationship between the usage of social media and religion (χ 2=8.336, p≤0.05), marital status (χ2=14.81, p≤0.05) and rank/cadre of respondents (χ 2 =23.03, p≤0.05) while PPMC analysis results showed a significant relationship between social media usage and age (R = -0.245, p≤0.05) as well as work experience (R= -0.33, p≤0.005). Social media has both positive and negative effects on researchers’ attitude to work. Social media usage should be controlled during working hours to improve the positive attitude of researchers towards work at IITA.

Adoption of good agricultural practices by cattle farmers in the Binh Dinh Province of Vietnam
Authors: Hoang Gia Hung 
Published: October 2020

This study examined factors that affect the adoption of good agricultural practices (VietGAP) by Vietnamese beef cattle farmers. A random sample of 305 farmers was drawn from a total of 1279 farmers who produced and marketed beef cattle in the Binh Dinh province of Vietnam. Percentages, means, standard deviations, chi squares test, t-test and binary logistic regression model were employed to analyse the data. The study found that the young farmers with a higher education level, who had a large number of cattle, possessed a large farm, owned ICT tools for marketing, participated in credit and training programs, had a high income and communicated with extension officers, had a greater tendency to adopt VietGAP. Improving education, providing technical training and credit services, promoting the farmers’ use of ICT tools for marketing and developing agricultural extension services for livestock farmers is a way to facilitate the adoption of VietGAP by farmers.

Published: October 2020

Diante de um ambiente cada vez mais competitivo, globalizado e tecnológico, o surgimento da Internet e das tecnologias da informação fez com que a quantidade de dados disponíveis com suporte digital fosse ampliada e como consequência, o aumento da circulação das informações. As Instituições de Ensino Superior geram inúmeras informações, sejam para órgãos de controle, sejam para o Ministério da Educação, são informações armazenadas em seus bancos de dados, que se fossem coletadas, processadas e disseminadas, poderiam ser utilizadas para dar suporte ao planejamento estratégico, contribuindo assim, na tomada de decisão dos gestores. Neste sentido, é importante discutir a gestão da informação e do conhecimento nas organizações universitárias para que estas busquem a eficiência e eficácia. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar as práticas de Gestão de Informação e do Conhecimento utilizadas pela gestão da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, através de um estudo de caso, realizado por meio de análise documental e de entrevistas com os Pró-reitores e Secretários. Como resultado, verificou-se que existem na instituição, iniciativas isoladas de gestão da informação, assim como não há uma estratégia explícita de gestão do conhecimento, sendo esta incipiente, uma vez que não se encontra disseminada na Instituição e por esta razão, é desconhecida da maioria dos servidores.
Gestão de riscos na área de pessoal à luz da Emenda Constitucional 95/2016: uma aplicação para a Universidade de Brasília
Authors: Silva Fernanda Leite Ferreira da , Almeida Alexandre Nascimento de 
Published: October 2020

A Fundação Universidade de Brasília - FUB gastou 84% de seus recursos com o pagamento de pessoal em 2018, restando uma margem restrita para reposição de vagas geradas pelas aposentadorias dos servidores, dadas as restrições da EC 95/2016. Esse cenário impacta a área de recursos humanos, justificando o objetivo de analisar os riscos na área de gestão de pessoas na Universidade de Brasília. Para tanto, pela ponderação entre os dados da probabilidade dos riscos com os dados das suas magnitudes, estimou-se o nível de criticidade dos riscos. Dos 29 riscos da área de pessoal identificados, 86% foram considerados de nível crítico ou alto, estando esses concentrados nas áreas de gestão, em especial na identificação deficiente da força de trabalho e dos perfis dos servidores. A partir dos riscos encontrados, conclui-se que a FUB não está suficientemente preparada para fazer frente aos problemas na área de pessoal.
La lutte contre les inégalités éducatives entre la sociologie critique de P. Bourdieu et la philosophie émancipatrice de J. Rancière
Authors: Indarramendi Cintia 
Published: October 2020

Les politiques de lutte contre les inégalités éducatives ciblées sur les groupes les plus défavorisées ont profondément évolué depuis leur mise en place à l’échelle internationale dans les décennies 1980 et 1990. Ces évolutions rendent compte aussi bien des aléas politiques que des difficultés à résoudre une aporie constitutive de ce type d’intervention : si « l’indifférence aux différences » ne fait que reproduire des inégalités, la différentiation par le ciblage risque de renforcer la stigmatisation des populations défavorisées. Cette tension peut à notre sens être éclairée à partir des débats théoriques sur les inégalités éducatives entre, d’une part, la sociologie critique de Pierre Bourdieu, et d’autre part, la philosophie émancipatrice de Jacques Rancière. Dans cet article, essentiellement théorique, nous proposons d’étudier les débats entre ces deux approches, leurs apports et leurs limites afin d’élucider des tensions propres aux politiques éducatives de lutte contre les inégalités. Nous conclurons sur les possibilités de surmonter ces apories à travers la réflexion pédagogique sur les normes constitutives aux objets de savoir. Notre réflexion prend appui sur notre travail de thèse dans lequel nous étudions comment se construisent, se mettent en place, et évoluent les politiques de lutte contre les inégalités en Argentine dans la période 1993-2013.
Dynamics of primary productivity in the northeastern Bay of Bengal over the last 26 000 years

Published: October 2020

Abstract. At present, variations of primary productivity (PP) in the Bay of
Bengal (BoB) are driven by salinity-related stratification, which is
controlled by the Indian summer monsoon (ISM). The relationships between PP,
precipitation, and more generally climate in the past are not clearly
understood. Here, we present a new record of PP based on the examination of
coccolithophore assemblages in a 26 000-year sedimentary series retrieved
in the northeastern BoB (core MD77-176). We compare our PP records to
published climate and monsoon records, as well as outputs from numerical
experiments obtained with the Earth system model IPSL-CM5A-LR, including
the marine biogeochemical component PISCES, and with the transient climate
simulation TraCE-21. Our results show that PP was most probably controlled
by nutrient contents and distribution within the upper water column, which
were predominantly influenced by (i) regional river systems between 26 and
19 ka, i.e. when sea level was relatively low and climate was
relatively dry, and (ii) salinity-related stratification over the last 19 kyr, i.e. when sea level rose and more humid conditions prevailed. During
that period, salinity and stratification were directly related to monsoon
precipitation dynamics, which were chiefly forced by both insolation and Atlantic meridional overturning circulation
(AMOC) strength. During Heinrich Stadial 1 and the Younger Dryas, i.e. when the
AMOC collapsed, weaker South Asian precipitation diminished stratification
and enhanced PP. During Bølling–Allerød, i.e. when the AMOC recovered,
stronger South Asian precipitation increased stratification and subdued PP.
Similarly, the precipitation peak recorded around the middle–early Holocene
is consistent with a stronger stratification that drives PP minima.
The effect of fortified Dadih (fermented buffalo milk) with vitamin D3 on caecum cholesterol concentration and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level in type 2 diabetes mellitus rat model

Published: October 2020

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be developed by a cardiovascular complication. T2DM and its complications associated with a decrease in levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D below normal. The level of 25-OH-D can increase and it can be gained by probiotics supplementation. Dadih is a probiotic useful as antidiabetic, antiatherosclerotic, and it can reduce serum cholesterol. Vitamin D is beneficial for T2DM since it improves insulin production, acts as an anti-inflammatory and prevents dyslipidemia thereby preventing cardiovascular disease. This research aims to investigate the effects of giving dadih-fortified-vitamin-D3 toward caecum-cholesterol-concentration and hs-CRP-levels to T2DM-induced-rats. This study used a randomized pre-post test with control group design in 30 Wistar rats divided into 5 groups, namely T1, T2, and T3-treatment-groups. T3-group was given dadih-fortified-vitamin-D3, while T1 and T2-groups were given vitamin-D3 and dadih, respectively. The control groups were healthy-control (C1), and T2DM (C2). The intervention was given through oral sonde for 28days. The variables analyzed were caecal-cholesterol-concentrations using a spectrophotometer and hs-CRP using the ELISA method. The statistical tests were used for the caecum-cholesterol-concentration and hs-CRP levels. The mean of caecum-cholesterol-concentration in the T3-group (83.68 ±1.93mg.100g-1), was higher than T1 (77.99 ±1.70; p = 0.004) and C2-control (24.39 ±1.47; p = 0.0001). The mean of hs-CRP-level post-intervention in the T3-group (4.21 ±0.41 ng.mL-1), was lower than C2 (17.15 ±0.85;p = 0.0001), T1 (6.59 ±0.27; p = 0.0001) and T2 (5.43 ±0.39; p = 0.004). There is a very strong inverse correlation between the concentration of cholesterol and hs-CRP ( r = -0.979, p = 0.0001). The conclusion is dadih-fortified-vitamin-D3 –intervention is better than its single intervention as an anti-inflammation which might relate to the increased caecum-cholesterol-concentration.

2020/38 Supreme Court rules on the principle of continuity of civil service law in connection with a transfer of undertaking (FI)
The Finnish Supreme Court has overturned a Court of Appeal decision regarding a transfer of a municipal civil servant to a company during the privatization of a public utility company. The Supreme Court held that an employment relationship had not been established between the transferee and the unlawfully dismissed municipal civil servant despite the principle of continuity of civil service law. The concrete actions of the transferee had an important role in defining that no employment relationship had been constituted between the dismissed municipal civil servant and the private company.
Persons over models: shared decision-making for person-centered medicine
Authors: Annoni Marco , Blease Charlotte 
Published: October 2020

In the last decades “shared decision-making” has been hailed as the new paradigm for the doctor-patient relationship. However, different models of clinical decision-making appear to be compatible with the core tenets of “shared decision-making”. Reconsidering Emanuel and Emanuel (1992) classic analysis, in this paper we distinguish five possible models of clinical decision-making: (i) the ‘instrumental’; (ii) the ‘paternalistic’; (iii) the ‘informative’; (iv) the ‘interpretative’; and (v) the ‘persuasive’ models. For each model we present its fundamental assumptions as well as the role that patients and doctors are expected to play with respect to value-laden dilemmas. We argue that, with the exception of the instrumental model, each of the other four models may be appropriate depending on the circumstances. We conclude by highlighting the importance of structuring clinical care around actual persons - and their unique lives and philosophies - rather than around abstract frameworks.

Published: October 2020

Nowadays there is a higher need of strict and broader legislation in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling industry to reduce environmental effects of WEEE. Environmental challenges include pollution, exhaustion of natural resources, waste management and reduction of landfills. High speed in technological development in many sectors puts many products in great challenge of obsoleting almost immediately after their purchase. In particular, this is the fate for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). They are forever-improving and incorporate state of the art innovations. This provide many benefits; however, at the same time, its expansion results in rapidly growing waste stream of WEEE. WEEE contains a combination of all these situations, including for example, batteries, plastics of quality, precious metals and toxic soldering metals. The reuse and renovation of WEEE are therefore very critical because of its significant ecological environmental impacts. Sustainable development is not a static situation, but a state of dynamic balance between human and environmental system. The current chapter explores sustainability planning and strategies such as eco-design, and design for dismantling and recycling, and what they mean for electronic products. It examines the incentives, methods and tools for sustainable electronic product design, with particular emphasis on reuse, recycling, selection of sustainable materials and processes, and lack of resources.
Total and Exchangeable Copper Assay Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Establishment of a Pediatric Reference Interval
Authors: Yim Jisook , Kwon Soo Beom , Han Jung Sun , Kim Jeong-Ho , Lee Eun Hee , Lee Sang-Guk 
Published: October 2020

Context.—
Recently, an exchangeable copper (CuEXC) assay has been suggested as a robust and feasible diagnostic tool for Wilson disease (WD). Although WD is a disorder that requires lifelong treatment and monitoring, few data are currently available regarding the status of copper levels in children.

Objective.—
To evaluate the performance of copper assays and establish a reference interval for total copper and CuEXC in the pediatric population.

Design.—
Serum samples from children aged 1–5 (n = 122), 6–12 (n = 125), and 13–18 years (n = 120) were analyzed. Total copper and CuEXC concentrations were directly measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and relative CuEXC levels were calculated. Total copper reference intervals, CuEXC levels, and relative CuEXC levels were determined based on the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the data with 90% confidence intervals.

Results.—
There were significant differences in the median concentrations of total copper and relative CuEXC among the age groups. Reference intervals determined for total copper were 82 to 167, 75 to 139, and 64 to 133 μg/dL for children aged 1 to 5, 6 to 12, and 13 to 18 years, respectively. The reference intervals for CuEXC were 4.29 to 9.79, 4.02 to 9.09, and 3.55 to 8.25 μg/dL for children aged 1 to 5, 6 to 12, and 13 to 18 years, respectively. Among 11 patients with suspected WD, relative CuEXC values were elevated in all 3 diagnosed with WD.

Conclusions.—
The pediatric reference intervals derived in this study are expected to be useful for the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of pediatric patients with WD.
Assessment of nationally representative dietary studies in the Gulf Cooperation Council: a scoping review
Authors: Hoque Rukshana , Strotheide Erin , Saquib Juliann , Saquib Nazmus 
Published: October 2020

BackgroundObesity is at a record high in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and is expected to continue increasing. Diet is a major contributor to this disease, but there is inadequate nationally representative dietary research from these countries. The aim was to quantify the number dietary studies using food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) that have been conducted in individual GCC countries and to assess the quality of eligible studies.MethodologyFour databases (PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and DOAJ) were searched for keywords; records were screened for eligible studies and data were abstracted on study characteristics (publication year, geographical locations, sample size, units of measurement, number of foods examined, number of Arab foods and key findings). Quality was assessed using an adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale for cross-sectional studies.ResultsOnly seven studies were eligible from four of six GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar). All eligible studies used FFQs, but only 29% used a validated questionnaire, one being in Arabic, and none of the studies used any additional tools to measure diet. Fifty-seven percent of studies made an effort to include local foods. The majority of studies (71%) either measured frequency or quantity of food consumed, but only 29% attempted to account for both frequency and quantity.ConclusionsThe quality of studies varied and major weaknesses of FFQ validity and adaptability have been highlighted. More dietary investigations are needed using validated FFQs that have been adapted to the local GCC diets. Using reference tools will allow for better dietary estimations.
