Background: Video-based interventions have the potential to contribute to long-lasting improvements in health-seeking behaviours. Ghana's upsurge rate of information and communication technology usage presents an opportunity to improve the awareness of HPV vaccination and screening rates of cervical cancer among women in Ghana. This research aimed to assess the impact of video-based educational intervention centred on the Health Belief and Transtheoretical Models of behavioural changes in promoting HPV vaccination, cervical carcinoma awareness and willingness to have Pap smear test (PST) among women in Ghana.Methods: To achieve the intended sample size, convenient, purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were used. SPSS v. 23.0 was used in the data analysis. Percentages and frequencies were used to represent participants' demographic characteristics, knowledge of (1) cervical carcinoma, (2) human papillomavirus vaccine, and (3) Pap smear test. The chi-square test by McNemar was employed to evaluate variations in the post- and pre-intervention responses. A p-value &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The level of significance was adjusted owing to multiple comparisons by using the Bonferroni's correction.Results: Before the intervention, 84.2% of the participant had some knowledge or information about cervical cancer, but after the intervention, 100% of the participant became aware of cervical cancer which represents 15.8% increment at a P &lt; .001. The willingness to have a pap smear test increased from 35.8% to 94.2% (df = 58.4%, P &lt; .001) after the educational intervention. The willingness to be vaccinated increased from 47.5% to 81.7% (df = 34.2%, P &lt; .001) after the educational intervention. Six months after the intervention, participants were followed-up. 253 (42.2%) participants had gone for cervical cancer screening (Pap smear test) while 347 (57.8%) participants had not been screened. In terms of HPV vaccination, 192 participants (32.0%) had begun their HPV vaccination cycle.Conclusion: The study results show that health education, using videos, may be influential in perception changing, self-efficacy improvement and the understanding of cervical carcinoma screening and HPV vaccination.

The aim of this work was to assess the antifungal and antioxidant activity of essential oils and ethanolic extracts from distilled solid by-products from aromatic plants (Artemisia dracunculus, Hyssopus officinalis, Lavandula stoechas, Origanum vulgare and Satureja montana) against 14 fungi strains isolated from sheep cheese and identified at species level using DNA barcoding based on β-tubulin sequence analysis. In addition, capacity of fungi to produce ochratoxin A, patulin, cyclopiazonic acid and sterigmatocystin was analyzed. Of the isolates, 85.7% belonged to Penicillium (P. commune/biforme, P. crustosum) and 14.3% to Aspergillus (A. puulaauensis and A. jensenii), the first time that these Aspergillus species have been found in sheep’s cheese. All P. commune isolates were producers of cyclopiazonic acid, and the two Aspergillus strains produced sterigmatocystin, but the others did not produce any tested mycotoxin. Among the essential oils tested, oregano, savory and tarragon had a significant antifungal activity against all the isolated strains, but no ethanolic extract showed antifungal activity. By contrast, ethanolic extracts showed great potential as antioxidants. The identification of new molds in cheese will help the dairy industry to know more about those molds affecting the sector, and the use of aromatic plants in the control of fungal spoilage could be a suitable alternative to chemical preservatives used in the agri-food industry.

Published: July 2021

Les séries lithiques de surface des carrières de Nan (Nord de la Thaïlande) se distinguent du paysage archéologique régional par la densité impressionnante de pierres taillées rencontrées mais également, par la présence d'une production de lames. Dans cette aire géographique, le phénomène laminaire revêt un caractère original et même inattendu pour ce qui est de la période Néolithique.
L'analyse typo-technologique des lames de Nan permet de décrire une chaîne opératoire inédite, en rupture avec les cultures archéologiques locales plus anciennes. En effet, on y trouve majoritairement des industries sur galets taillés et ce jusqu'à des époques très récentes. L'article entreprend une révision de l'identité néolithique de Thaïlande sous l'angle de la production de lames. C'est l'occasion de discuter de son origine, de son originalité, de sa genèse et de sa place dans la chronologie préhistorique dans l'ensemble de l'Asie du Sud-Est et du monde chinois. L'originalité de ce qui apparaît comme une innovation technique régionale interroge sur l'existence de multiples foyers d'invention reconnue dans la préhistoire de cette région du monde.
Resources, Power and Identities of a Hunting-gathering Society. Revisiting the Mlabri Ethnic Group in Northern Thailand

Resources, Power and Identities of a Hunter-gatherer Society.
Revisiting the Mlabri Ethnic Group in Northern Thailand.
Sakkarin Na Nan.

This article describes the struggles of the hunter-gatherer Mlabri ethnic group in the context of spatial and symbolic enclosure. Based on a political ecology conceptual framework, the author argues that the present-day Mlabri struggle in the degraded environment of northern Thailand cannot be understood, particularly, through the linear model of human evolutionism from hunters to farmers. The article looks at the existence of the hunter-gatherer Mlabri as the result of an asymmetrical power relation in the micro-politics of a local valley of Nan province. It shows that the current transitions experienced by the hunter-gatherer Mlabri society are a microcosm of the structural contradictions of the resource management in the contemporary Thai nation-state. However, the core point of this paper is that the marginalized hunter-gatherers are not remaining under domination without any resistance. Moreover, they use several social strategies to reshape their livelihood conditions and— at the same time— to manage the complex social identities of hunter-gatherers in a globalised world.

Der antike Gott und sein Beruf
Im Gegensatz zu den monotheistischen Religionen war den Griechen und Römern sowie ihren indogermanischen Vorfahren der Glaube an einen in jeder Hinsicht absoluten Gott fremd. Sie verehrten eine Vielzahl von Göttern und Dämonen, die sich ursprünglich nur als überhöhte menschliche Wesen vorstellten, die sich weder durch Allmächtigkeit noch durch Allgegenwärtigkeit noch durch Allwissensheit auszeichneten : nicht Schöpfer der Welt, sondern letztlich Geschöpfe, die geboren wurden, jedoch unsterblich waren und zumeist in ewiger Jugend verharrten. Im übrigen jedoch war das Leben der Gottheiten nicht verschieden von dem der Menschen. Sie hatten ihre bestimmten Ñamen, ihr individuelles Äußeres, ihren festen Wohnsitz sowie ihren speziellen Aufgaben-und Wirkungsbereich (griech. νομή, lat. prouincia), und — nicht anders als die Menschen — ihren Beruf mit seiner Arbeit (τέχνη, ἔργον, opus, munus, officium, etc.), für die sie mit Opfern entlohnt wurden. Anders als der Mensch brauchten sie sich jedoch nicht mit den Händen zu mühen. Je nach ihrer Wirkungsweise erhielten sie oft auch ihre Bezeichnungen — Verbaladjektive : z.B. Ούρανός = der Nassende (scil. der das Naß des Himmels schafft, dann mit dem Himmel selbst identifiziert) oder nomina agentium : z.B. Ζεύς = der Leuchtende (scil. der das Licht des Tages bewirkt, dann auch für den Tag gebraucht). Mit Ζεύς, Iu-piter etymologisch verwandt ist lat. deus, das bei den Römern zum Appellativ für Gott wurde.
Während bei den Italikern also das Phänomen des Lichtes auschlaggebend für die Bezeich-nung von Gott wurde, war der Gottesbegriff der Griechen vor allem geprägt durch den Glauben an eine Macht, die etwas Geordnetes schafft und bewirkt (θεός, etymolog. zu τίθημι, θέμις). Daneben existierte aber auch — wie noch etwa bei den Indo-Iraniern und Slawen — die Vorstellung von einem hôheren Wesen, dessen Tätigkeit darin bestand, dem Menschen sein Schicksal zuzuteilen, wodurch sein Name appellativische Funktion erhalten konnte (δαίμων).
El δñμος y la στάσις en la obra de Tucίdides

Le δήμος et la στάσις dans l’œuvre de Thucydide
L’analyse est axée sur l’information livrée par Thucydide sur le phénomène de stasis contemporain de la Guerre du Péloponnèse. S’il est vrai que l’historien athénien ne place pas ce sujet au centre de son enquête, il n’a pas manqué pour autant de percevoir la relation particulière existant entre la guerre des deux grandes ligues et les violents affrontements civiques entre démocrates et oligarques. Une comparaison entre le récit chez Thucydide de quelques-uns des conflits civiques les plus importants au temps de la guerre et, d’une part, l’analyse sociale du Pseudo-Xénophon, d’autre part les propositions de réforme socio-poütique à la fin du Ve siècle et les diagnostics des philosophes du IVe sur la stasis, permet de conclure que la confrontation entre démos et oligoi ne se limitait pas à une lutte pour le pouvoir, mais impliquait des changements dans la politela elle-même, ce qui explique que les classes populaires ne pouvaient demeu¬ rer en marge du conflit.

Authors: Narayanan Anuja 
Published: July 2021

The study is related to the comparison of soil characteristics in some areas from a depth of 1m, 1.2m, and 1.5m; physical and geotechnical properties of the soil samples are studied in the laboratory to develop a simple method to determine the type of soil on a site. The tests conducted are grain size analysis, specific gravity, and field density. Moreover, the research intends to validate the behavior of sieving systems for different types of soils and at various loading conditions. From work, a decision support system to facilitate a sieving system that integrates geological, geotechnical, and structural factors is developed. The study reveals that an increase in the plasticity index decreases the angle of internal friction. The empirical models developed with the help of regression analysis for the benefit of field engineers for predicting the geotechnical properties.

Published: July 2021

Time use surveys have been used widely to know how economic agents spend their time effectively to participate in different economic and non-economic activities. This paper sets out to discuss the urban/rural difference in respect of the time spent for different activities by both men and women in India. The paper reveals that men spend more time for employment and related activities while women spend more time for unpaid domestic service for household members. The paper finds hardly any serious region wise gender difference in respect of the average time spent for different activities in both rural and urban areas in India. This work takes note of the fact that works being done by the female at their homes go unidentified and demonetized, putting them in a disastrously disadvantages condition, which by any count would impoverish and stand in the way of their further empowerment. Gender inequality has also been observed in the time spent for employment and related activities. The paper looks into an important gender disparity in respect of the percentage of persons engaged in the production of goods for own final use.
