Мета. Наукове обґрунтування удосконалення системи ЛЕЗ у ДШВ ЗС України через приведення організаційно-штатної структури медичних підрозділів частин ДШВ у відповідність до специфічних умов діяльності цього роду військ в умовах збройного конфлікту.
Методи дослідження. Проаналізований розподіл локалізації поранень у тактичних підрозділах СВ ЗС України в зоні проведення АТО/ООС протягом 2017-2018 рр. На підставі звітів та заповнених польових медичних карток (ПМК) Ф-300 (n=114), була зібрана та проаналізована інформація щодо локалізації поранень у військовослужбовців ДШВ ЗС України (79 і 95 Окремі десантно-штурмові бригади та 25 Окрема повітряно-десантна бригада) в зоні проведення АТО/ООС за той же період, а також у підрозділах ДШВ, що приймали участь у рейдових діях протягом 2014 р. Методологія дослідження базувалася на системному підході. Для вирішення поставлених завдань застосовувались наступні методи: системного аналізу (системно-історичний, системно-структурний, системно-комунікативний) та методи статистичного аналізу. При обробці результатів досліджень використовувалися методика φ – Фішера, критерії χ² – Пірсона і t – Стьюдента.
Результати. При порівняльному аналізі розподілу локалізації поранень під час проведення рейдових дій підрозділами ДШВ, з’ясувалось, що він відрізняється від такого розподілу у тактичних підрозділах СВ і ДШВ в зоні проведення АТО/ООС із статистично значущим (рα (t, df)≤0,05) переважанням поранень голови і кінцівок, причому шанс отримати поранення голови (при розрахунку відношення шансів) у цього контингенту за таких умов збільшується у 1,3 рази, що викликано принципово іншою бойовою обстановкою, способами і методами ведення бойових дій. Це акцентує увагу на необхідності наявності хірургічної та анестезіологічної компоненти при наданні медичної допомоги в підрозділах і частинах ДШВ при виконанні специфічних завдань в умовах ізоляції та автономного функціонування.
Висновки. Необхідною умовою для успішного виконання завдань, притаманних ДШВ ЗС України (десантно-рейдові, десантно-ударні, десантно-штурмові дії, дії в умовах десантування) є удосконалення системи ЛЕЗ шляхом приведення організаційно-штатної структури медичних підрозділів частин цього роду військ у відповідність до специфічних умов діяльності, шляхом підсилення їх лікарями-спеціалістами, які можуть повноцінно надавати первинну та елементи вторинної медичної допомоги. Ця ідея в ході виконання роботи була реалізована в практичну площину, шляхом розробки і затвердження відповідної Директиви ГШ ЗС України (2018 р.), з введенням в штати медичних рот частин ДШВ лікарів-хірургів і лікарів-анестезіологів, що є особливо актуальним в умовах ізоляції та автономного функціонування підрозділів ДШВ при виконанні специфічних бойових завдань.

Abstract. This study introduces a novel workflow to model the heterogeneity of complex aquifers using the multiple-point statistics algorithm DeeSse. We illustrate the approach by modeling the Continental Pliocene layer of the Roussillon aquifer in the region of Perpignan (southern France). When few direct observations are available, statistical inference from field data is difficult if not impossible and traditional geostatistical approaches cannot be applied directly. By contrast, multiple-point statistics simulations can rely on one or several alternative conceptual geological models provided using training images (TIs). But since the spatial arrangement of geological structures is often non-stationary and complex, there is a need for methods that allow to describe and account for the non-stationarity in a simple but efficient manner. The main aim of this paper is therefore to propose a workflow, based on the direct sampling algorithm DeeSse, for these situations. The conceptual model is provided by the geologist as a 2D non-stationary training image in map view displaying the possible organization of the geological structures and their spatial evolution. To control the non-stationarity, a 3D trend map is obtained by solving numerically the diffusivity equation as a proxy to describe the spatial evolution of the sedimentary patterns, from the sources of the sediments to the outlet of the system. A 3D continuous rotation map is estimated from inferred paleo-orientations of the fluvial system. Both trend and orientation maps are derived from geological insights gathered from outcrops and general knowledge of processes occurring in these types of sedimentary environments. Finally, the 3D model is obtained by stacking 2D simulations following the paleo-topography of the aquifer. The vertical facies transition between successive 2D simulations is controlled partly by the borehole data used for conditioning and by a sampling strategy. This strategy accounts for vertical probability of transitions, which are derived from the borehole observations, and works by simulating a set of conditional data points from one layer to the next. This process allows us to bypass the creation of a 3D training image, which may be cumbersome, while honoring the observed vertical continuity.

Published: October 2020

Objectif de la recherche : L’objectif de cette recherche est de cerner quels sont les leviers des politiques de diversité qui pourraient se révéler particulièrement efficaces au Maroc, ainsi que d’identifier les obstacles à la carrière managériale des Marocaines.
Intérêt de la recherche : Comme les politiques de diversité proviennent de modèles de management généralement occidentaux, il se peut que des idiosyncrasies marocaines en amenuisent les impacts. L’intérêt d’une telle recherche réside dans l’identification des leviers des politiques de diversité efficaces au Maroc, un territoire qui témoigne toujours de fortes inégalités de genre, notamment dans les fonctions managériales.
Méthodologie : Les données ont été récoltées au Maroc grâce à 36 entretiens semi-directifs au sein de six entreprises et auprès de femmes managers, de Directeurs généraux et de Directeurs des ressources humaines.
Résultats : Les résultats identifient les obstacles classiques à la carrière managériale des Marocaines, ainsi que les leviers des politiques de diversité qui seraient particulièrement efficaces au Maroc.
Contributions et implications managériales : Les entreprises trouveront, dans cet article, les leviers prioritaires permettant de déployer de meilleures politiques de diversité dans un contexte marocain. Les DRH y trouveront, également, une liste des obstacles à la carrière managériale des Marocaines, ce qui devrait leur permettre de mieux les prendre en compte.
Limites : Le biais de désirabilité sociale et la taille restreinte de l’échantillon sont les principales limites de cet article.

Aims: Rural dwellers are forced into a vicious circle of lack of financial risk protection to accessing non-optimal care and more poverty from its complications because out-of-pocket payment is their mainstay health care financing option. A sustainable and effective Community-based health insurance scheme will offer some respite. The study aimed to determine household heads’ willingness to participate and pay into a community-based health insurance scheme and the associated factors.
Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional.
Place and Duration of Study: Imesi-Ile, a rural community in Obokun Local government area of Osun state, Nigeria between July and September, 2015.
Methods: Study population were 147 of the 155 household heads selected via a multi-stage sampling technique. Quantitative data collection was done using a structured questionnaire. The household health status, level of trust and reciprocity in the community, their awareness of a community-based health insurance scheme and their willingness to participate and pay into it using the double contingent valuation method were assessed. Data was analysed using the IBM SPSS version 20 software and statistical significance determined at p<0.05.
Results: There was a low level of awareness (13.6%), but majority (87.1%) were willing to participate after being informed. Only 54(42.2%) were willing to pay ₦12,000 ($33.3). The maximum amount they were willing to pay was ₦6000 ($16.7). Younger household heads (p=0.009), males (p=0.032), earning ≥₦6000 ($16.7) monthly (p=0.006), and involved in cooperative schemes (p=0.002) were significantly more willing to participate in the scheme. While the sex of the household heads (p=0.006) and mean score on reciprocity (p=0.002) were significantly associated with paying ₦12,000 ($33.3) as premium for a household of 6 persons. The preferred frequency of payment was monthly (53.8%).
Conclusion: The household heads in Imesi-Ile community were willing to participate and pay into the scheme. However, further studies on the feasibility and sustainability of implementation is advised.

There is need to look for ingredients to be added to the poultry feed used to raise quail birds for better results on the birds and to enhance quail farming in Nigeria.
Aim: This study was carried out to conduct a twelve weeks feeding trial to determine the effect of feeding varying levels of Ocimum gratissimum on growth, egg size using two (2) weeks old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica).
Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty birds were allocated to four dietary treatment groups with three (3) replicates of ten (10) birds each in a completely randomized design experiment with feeding ratio of Control (C) containing 0 g/kg; T1, 20 g/kg; T2, 40 g/kg and T3, 60 g/kg of dried and ground Ocimum gratissimum. Feed and water were provided ad libitum throughout the experimental period.
Results: The result obtained showed that for Weight gain (WG), Percentage weight gain (PWG), specific growth rate (SRG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), the T1, (20 g/kg) had the highest values (122.56 g, 234%, 0.623 and 23.49 respectively) while T3, (60 g/kg) had the least values (81.92 g, 156%, 0.487, 34.92 respectively) as a result of weight loss. But the C, (0 g/kg) had the highest value of 9.149 for protein efficiency ratio (PER) as T3, (60 g/kg) had the least value (5.535). T2, (40 g/kg) had the highest values for mean egg weight, length, width (10.01, 8.77 and 7.81 respectively) while T1, (20 g/kg) had the least values (8.84, 7.63 and 6.70 respectively). Weight gain, feed utilization indices and egg size were the response criteria that were monitored, recorded and subjected to Anova and T-test. There were significant difference (P≤0.05) observed for mean weight gain, percentage weight gain, specific growth rate, food conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, circumference of the widest point of the eggs at long axis (length) while no significant difference (P>0.05) were observed for weight of eggs and circumference of the widest point of the eggs at short axis (width).
Conclusion: From this study, quail birds fed T1, (20 g/kg) gave the results with no negative effect on the birds and can be recommended in Japanese quail diets.

Background: Aspergillus section Nigri species are invasive opportunistic pathogens, seen in individuals with various immune disorders. The invasive capacity involves the production of varieties of enzymes such as lipases, phospholipase, proteases and hyaluronidase. The determination of proteinase, phospholipase, esterase and biofilm production in patient and environmental isolates approve the pathogenic strength of the species.
Aims: To evaluate the invasive capacity of Aspergillus section Nigri isolates from patients and environmental samples.
Methods: Our study is cross sectional and experimental, performed at the outpatient clinic of the otorhinolaryngology department of Central and University teaching hospital during a period of 12 months from March 2018 to February 2019. To determine the invasive capacity of Aspergillus section Nigri species, 400 samples were evaluated in the study (that is; 250 from patients and 150 samples from environment). Patient samples and hospital environment samples were evaluated by standard phenotypic methods for detecting of Proteinase, phospolipase, esterase and biofilm. The variables were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test of independent and SPSS (Version 16.0).
Results: The isolates recovered from the patient sample shows maximum invasive capacity as compared to the environmental isolates, that is for 44 isolates; 42 isolates showed proteinase activity and biofilm production, followed by phospholipase activity 36, and then esterase 32.The isolates recovered from the hospital environment also showed the production of the various invasive factors, that is for 16 isolates; 15 isolates showed biofilm production, followed by proteinase activity 6, phospholipase 5 and esterase 4.The disparities of the invasive capacity in patient and environment isolates virulence were statistically significant for proteinase, phospholipase and esterase ( that is; p-value <0.05). Majority the isolates recovered from patients and the environment were potential producers of biofilm.
Conclusion: The isolates recovered from patients sample showed high invasive capacity as compare to the isolates recovered from the environment. This highlights the implications of phospholipase enzyme, proteinase enzyme, esterase enzyme and biofilm used by Aspergillus section Nigri isolates as means of survival in the host system.
Predicting the Toxicities of Ternary Mixtures of two Metals and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate to Serratia marcescens (SerEW01) from Otamiri River Water
Authors: Okechi Reuben N. , Chukwura Edna I. , Nweke Christian O. 
Published: October 2020

Background: Otamiri river server as a source of water for domestic activities, urban farming, recreation, aquatic foods in Owerri and environs. It also receives untreated domestic, industrial and agricultural waste water and run offs from the municipality. Seepages from solid wastes dumps at the river banks and sand mining activity going on in the river could also constitute environmental hazards
Aims: This study aims at evaluating the interactive effects of the ternary mixtures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and some divalent metals on preponderant bacterium (Serratia marcescens (SerEW01)) from the river.
Study Design: Fixed ratio ray design was used for the study, with inhibition of dehydrogenase activity as end point.
Place and Duration of Study: Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, June – December, 2019.
Methodology: The bacterium was earlier isolated as the preponderant bacterium isolate from the river water. Fixed ratio ternary mixtures (Equieffect concentration (EEC50) and arbitrary concentration (ABCR) ratios), SDS + Pb + Zn, SDS + Cd +Zn, SDS + Pb +Ni, SDS + Ni + Cd, SDS + Co + Pb and SDS + Co + Cd were designed to evaluate the combined toxicities of these toxicants. Toxicities predicted by concentration addition (CA) and independent action (IA) models were compared with the experimentally observed toxicities.
Results: The EC50S observed ranged from 0.046 ± 0.003 mM (Zn) to 2.329 ± 0.092 mM (SDS). The EC50S of the toxicants were statistically different from each other (P<0.05). The order of increasing toxicities were SDS >Pb >Ni > Co > Cd(II) >Zn. Concentration-dependent toxicities with progressive inhibition of the dehydrogenase activity as the concentration increased were observed.. In all ternary mixtures, both the experimentally derived, CA and IA-predicted EC50S were statistically different from each other. Both models predicted lower toxicities compared to the experimental data. The Toxic Index and Model Deviation Ratio indicated synergistic interaction of SDS and metal ions against S. marcescens (SerEW01)
Conclusion: This study could constitute base line information towards assessing the possible environmental hazards associated with co-contamination of the environment by SDS and divalent heavy metals, more so when both pollutants are common aquatic pollutants.

Published: October 2020

Aims: The aim of the study was to assess factors influencing the uptake of cervical cancer screening among female doctors and nurses in Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Kenya. To achieve this cross-sectional study was conducted in KNH between January 2019 and April 2020.
Methodology: Stratified random sampling method was used to select 271 nurses and 39 doctors from a population of 1400 nurses and 301 doctors. Data was collected through a structured close ended questionnaire. Chi-square test of homogeneity was used to determine the association between cancer screening uptake and demographic factors. A multiple regression analysis was used to test the relationship between the determinants (factors) of uptake of cervical cancer screening that included availability of procedures, cost of procedures, time, the attitude of HCW, awareness of procedures, religion, age, culture, multiple sexual partners.
Results: Findings revealed that 97.5% (n = 272) are aware of cervical screening with most of the participants (95.3%, n = 266) indicating that they have been screened for cervical cancer before. PAP tests and HPV DNA tests were noted to be the most used screening methods. The majority of the participants (14.7%, n = 41) indicate that the major benefit of the cancer screening programs is enhanced early detection/ treatment/care, followed by general awareness on cervical cancer (35, 12.5%). Findings further revealed that the health workers who have ever heard about the vaccine were reported to have higher uptake of cervical cancer screening (Chi=32.158, p = .05, n =262).
Conclusion: Our study identified that lack of adequate health infrastructure and resources is a well-recognized barrier to screening in Kenya.

Published: October 2020

This research presents the effects of water stress on crop yield and water productivity of two local varieties of pepper (Capsicum spp.) under various drip irrigation regimes in Southwest Nigeria.
Study Design: The study was conducted during the 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons at the Teaching and Research Farm of Agricultural and Bio-Environmental Engineering of Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Nigeria.
The experiment was a 2 x 4 factorial experiments arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two varieties of pepper (Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens) and four drip irrigation regimes: 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of actual crop evapotranspiration (ET100, 75, 50, 25) and replicated four times. The experiment was repeated in the second year late season. Water was applied from 3 weeks after transplanting (WAT) after which growth parameters, crop water productivity and crop yield were monitored and subjected to statistical analyses.
The water productivity, crop yield and other crop growth parameters such as plant height, number of leaves, fruit length and weight were higher during the two seasons for the two pepper varieties under ET100 and ET75 irrigation regimes compared with ET50 and ET25 respectively. A significant difference (p<0.05) was observed in the growth parameters in all the treatments. However, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the water productivity components for ET100 and ET75 irrigation regimes. The best water productivity was observed for the ET75 drip irrigation regime.
Therefore, the ET75 regime was recommended for the two pepper varieties to ensure sustainable cultivation and production of the two varieties in the study area.

Published: October 2020

Aims: Free radicals are involved in many diseases. Antioxidants help control them. The overproduction of free radicals or reduction of natural antioxidants promotes the destruction of cells in our body, for example in neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation between the level of polyphenol and antioxidant activity of Dichrostachys cinerea barks he work was carried out at the phytochemistry department of the Institute of Pharmacopoeia and Traditional Medicine (Gabon).
Methodology: Different extracts of Dichrostachys cinerea barks were obtained with polarity solvent (dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol, methanol and water). The antioxidant activity is evaluating using respectively FRAP method (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power), antiradical activity by the method of inhibition of DPPH radical (2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), cations ABTS radical (2.2'-azinobis-[3-acid-6-sulfonic ethylenzothiazoline]).
Results: Ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extract have the higher value for polyphenolic compounds, respectively 52,27±0,66 mg EAG / g and 49,72±0,55 mg EAG / g. Aqueous extract have the lower value 20,67±1,05 mg EAG / g. The different fractions of Dichrostachys cinerea have antioxidant effect, and this effect is in correlation with its constituents: polyphenols, tannins and flavonoids. Results were compared to standard antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and quercetin.
Conclusion: This study confirms higher is the level of polyphenols greater is the antioxidant power.
