Published: September 2024

Background: Haemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder resulting from factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency and FVIII replacement therapy is the foundation of treatment. Objectives: To know the clinical profile and physical quality assessment in children with haemophilia A using Functional Independence Scoring in Haemophilia (FISH) scoring as assessment tool. Method: This observational follow-up study was conducted in the paediatrics department of a tertiary care centre. A total of 24 haemophilia A patients was enrolled.Results: Mean age of patients was 10.5 years; 83% were from urban area and 50% had a positive family history; 4% were mild, 38% moderate and 58% severe; 54% had 1st bleeding manifestation at <1 year of age and cumulatively 92% had bleeding manifestation before age of 5 years. Haemarthrosis (71%) was the most common manifestation. Among severe cases 93% and among moderate cases 56% of patients had joint bleeding. Knee joint was affected in 44% and elbow in 32%; 55% patients had post traumatic bleed. Severe haemophilia patients had prolonged duration of hospital stay; 80% of severe cases had limitation of joint movements; 33% patients developed FVIII inhibitors. At start of study mean FISH score was 30.1±2.54 in severe group, 31.55±1.33 in moderate cases and 32.0 in mild cases (p=0.0557). At end of study FISH score remained almost the same except in moderate cases. Average FVIII consumption in 6 months was 105IU/kg in severe haemophilia, 75 IU/kg in moderate haemophilia and 35 IU/kg in mild haemophilia. Conclusions: Cumulatively 92% of cases had bleeding manifestation before the age of 5 years. Haemarthrosis (71%) was the most common manifestation. Common joints involved were knee (44%) and elbow (32%); 55% patients had post traumatic bleeds.

Despite the established inhibitory action of tea polyphenols on dietary iron absorption, the consumption of tea at mealtimes remains common in many regions of the globe where anaemia is still a public health concern. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of acidulating black tea with citric acid or lime juice on dietary iron bioaccessibility. Firstly, the effect of citric acid on iron- polyphenol complex formation and iron speciation was studied using molecular spectrophotometry. Then, the bioaccessibility of dietary iron from pearl millet ball in the presence of black tea acidulated with citric acid or lime juice was assessed through a simulated in vitro digestion. Finally, the different species of bioaccessible iron were quantified. Citric acid reduced the absorbance of iron-polyphenol complex by 58.06% and 59.52% at pH 5 and 7, respectively, while promoting the formation of organic iron at pH 5 and ferrous iron at pH 5 and 7. Dietary iron bioaccessibility increased in the presence of acidulated black teas, with the greatest variation (28.57%) being observed in the digest of pearl millet ball mixed with lime juice-acidulated black tea. The more abundant bioacessible iron species was organic iron, and ferrous iron was more concentrated in digests of pearl millet ball mixed with lime juice-acidulated black tea. Acidulation of tea beverage with lime juice is a culinary technique that could mitigate the inhibitory action of tea polyphenols on dietary iron absorption and alleviate iron deficiency in populations consuming tea at mealtimes.

Les écosystèmes forestiers font face à des défis de conservation malgré leur rôle important dans la fourniture des services écosystémiques, et la conservation de la biodiversité. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer la diversité et l’importance des services écosystémiques fournis par le Chantier d’Aménagement Forestier (CAF) de Tiogo. Des entretiens individuels semi-structurés et de groupes ont été menés auprès de 100 personnes dans 7 villages de la zone d’influence du CAF. La fréquence de citation, la valeur d’usage et le facteur de consensus informateur ont été utilisés pour apprécier l’identification des services fournis par les populations. Au total 34 services écosystémiques regroupés en 5 catégories ont été recensé. Un cortège de 33 espèces ligneuses ont été mentionnées par les populations locales comme rendant des services d’approvisionnement. L’âge, le sexe et la position géographique du village étaient perçus comme des facteurs déterminants l’identification des services. Les personnes âgées en général les femmes, avaient des connaissances plus spécifiques que les hommes. Malgré son importance socio-économique et écologique, le CAF subit diverses pressions et bénéficie très peu de mesures de conservation. Cette étude souligne l’importance de développer des stratégies de conservation adaptées, telles que l’agroforesterie et la reforestation.

Au Burkina Faso, outre les plats cuisinés, la salade et les grillades sont fortement consommées dans la rue. Leur préparation entraine une utilisation du vinaigre ou des succédanés de vinaigre dans le but d’améliorer la qualité organoleptique des mets. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer la typologie, les caractéristiques biochimiques et microbiologiques des vinaigres utilisés par les acteurs de l’alimentation de rue dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso au Burkina Faso. La méthodologie a consisté à administrer un questionnaire à 180 vendeurs de salades, de poulets flambés, de poissons braisés, de viande de petits ruminants grillée, de viande de bœuf grillée et de viande de porc au four. Puis, les vinaigres de l’ensemble des marques identifiées au cours de l’enquête ainsi que ceux de sept marques de vinaigres importés ont été échantillonnés pour la détermination des paramètres microbiologiques et physico-chimiques. Les résultats indiquent que 100% des acteurs enquêtés utilisent des succédanés de vinaigres de fabrication locale en lieu et place des vinaigres de fermentation. Ces acteurs méconnaissent la différence entre succédanés de vinaigre et vinaigre de fermentation. Certaines étiquettes ne mentionnent pas la teneur en acidité tandis que 87,71% des étiquettes affichent des valeurs incorrectes. La flore aérobie mésophile totale ainsi que les levures et moisissures ont été dénombrées sur 14,29% des succédanés de vinaigres.

En Côte d’Ivoire, la culture de l’oignon (Allium cepa) est pratiquée principalement au nord du pays pendant la saison sèche pour des raisons climatiques et d’adaptation variétale. La production nationale ne couvre que 5% des besoins de la population, ce qui oblige le pays à importer le reste de sa consommation. Cette étude avait pour objectif de contribuer à l’amélioration de la production de l’oignon en Côte d’Ivoire par l’identification de variétés performantes, adaptées pour la production pluviale ou estivale au centre du pays. Pour ce faire, trois variétés d’oignon dont Violet de Galmi, Ares et Syngenta 8362 ont été expérimentées en saison sèche et pluvieuse au centre du pays sur deux années consécutives. Au cours des essais, les paramètres agronomiques ont été évalués et les analyses phytochimiques ont été réalisées. En saison sèche, les données collectées et analysées ont mis en évidence une bonne performance et adaptabilité des variétés testées. En saison des pluies, l’étude a mis en évidence une meilleure performance et d’adaptabilité de la variété Ares (22 t/ha). L’analyse phytochimique des variétés testées a révélé de forte teneur de polyphénols totaux et de flavonoïdes totaux chez la variété Ares par rapport aux autres variétés, ce qui expliquerait sa résilience aux conditions de culture pluviale. Les conditions pédoclimatiques du centre de la Côte d’Ivoire sont donc favorables à la culture de l’oignon aussi bien en saison sèche qu’en saison des pluies. Les trois variétés testées peuvent être cultivées en saison sèche. Cependant, en saison pluvieuse, seule la variété Ares est recommandée.

The objectives of present study were to prepare a bioadsorbent from Mannihot esculanta Crantz peels (MEB) and to examine its effectiveness in the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution by adsorption process. The adsorption was studied in a discontinuous reactor. Effects of the following parameters were studied: dose of bioadsorbent, contact time, initial concentration and pH of MB solution. The residual concentrations of MB solution were analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results obtained showed that the bioadsorbent MEB has a specific surface area of 265.27 m2 g -1 and a maximum observed adsorption capacity (Qmo) of 94.12 mg g-1 . The percentage of adsorption increased with the dose of biosorbent and the time due to the availability of free sites. The adsorption was better in a basic medium, because of electrostatic interactions between negatively charged MEB surface and organic ions of MB. The dose of 800 g of bioadsorbent and a pH solution of 10 were the optimal conditions of adsorption. Pseudo-first-order model was more suitable for describing the adsorption of MB on MEB, compared with pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir model was best for describing the adsorption of MB on MEB bioadsorbent compared to the Freundlich model. The Langmuir separation parameter RL and Freundlich parameter 1/n, less than 1, indicate that the adsorption of MB on MEB was favorable. The bioadsorbent MEB offers a high potential for adsorption of dyes in aqueous solutions.

Les karités améliorent la fertilité des terres cultivées. Cependant, n’est-il pas possible d'améliorer le parc à karité afin de maintenir la fertilité des sols ? Une étude sur l’évaluation de l’influence des parcs à karité sur les propriétés chimiques des sols a été conduite dans la région du Centre Sud du Burkina Faso en 2021 et 2022. Le dispositif expérimental était une parcelle paysanne subdivisée en trois (03) blocs correspondant aux différents traitements à savoir : T0 : bloc jachère utilisée comme témoin ; T1 : bloc contenant des pieds de karité sans régénération naturelle assistée (RNA) et T2 : bloc contenant des pieds de karité avec RNA. L’expérimentation a été conduite dans 3 villages chez trois (03) producteurs. Soixante-trois (63) échantillons de sols ont été prélevés dans les blocs. Les résultats ont montré que la présence des pieds de karité augmentait le taux de carbone du sol de 17% sous parc à karité avec RNA et de 28% dans le parc à karité sans RNA par rapport au sol témoin. La teneur en Potassium assimilable du sol augmentait également dans les parcs à karité sans RNA (58%) et avec RNA (48%). Le fort taux de carbone, potassium et phosphore indiquent que les parcs à karité pourraient contribuer à l'amélioration des propriétés chimiques du sol.
Combating climate change through development communication: the Agricola multipurpose experience
Authors: Iroh Emmanuel , Aghamelu Helen 
Published: September 2024

The need to educate farmers through the use of development communication (DC) techniques in ensuring food security necessitated this study. Climate change affects farmers who depend on natural rain-fed farming and agriculture. During such change, crops, seedlings, stored food, farming implements as well as storage facilities/infrastructures are damaged, leading to food insecurity. The work is hinged on the t Technology Determinism Theory (TDT) attributed to the American sociologist, Thorstein Veblen, which insists that technology, technological development, communications technology and media are pivotal to any social change in society. This is because, changes in society is propelled by the advent of new technology, development of innovation leading to a new order. The primary data for the study was obtained through the use of Development Communication technique of disseminating vital information to Agricola Multipurpose Farmers’ Cooperative Society through the social media. Focused Group Discussion of social media messages was used for the data analysis. The study concludes that proper information dissemination to farmers will in no small measure assist in the management of climate change leading to food security. The study recommends the use of the new media for the dissemination of information to not only farmers but to the general public for the sustenance of agriculture and food security.

Greg Mbajiorgu is a leading exponent of ecological theatre and his play, Wake up Everyone, captures and contextualizes the eco- discourse as it pertains to Africa. The objective of this study is to X-ray the underlying issues in Africa’s quest to contend with and re- navigate its course within the chequered global matrix of the planetary crisis. Mbajiorgu’s play provides a homegrown approach and engagement with issues of the environment as well as excavate the philosophical and social contestations within the climate debate. The paper, among other things, recommends that arts and indeed the humanities need to further engage with contemporaneous matters, especially the ecological crisis affecting all facets of human existence across the world.
The model street method: considering its suitability beyond poverty and sustainability into post-conflict settings
Authors: Grierson Shelley , Maistruk Paul 
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The model street method was developed in 2015 to provide a framework for delivering high-impact, low-cost, scalable community health interventions for communities affected by poverty in Africa. Since then, the method has been adapted to other contexts, including sustainable redevelopment of urban areas in Europe and North America. Therefore, the suitability of the model as a template from which other contexts could benefit should be considered. Post-conflict settings have several features in common with poverty settings, where this model has been well demonstrated as effective.
Method: The method involves physically transforming a community through improved neighbourhood infrastructure and design. The aim is to improve the physical and psychological wellbeing of the residents. In its flagship project, residents of the deprived neighbourhood Dandora (Kenya) achieved a significantly improved quality of life. The project was delivered over six stages across 18 months. These stages included field research, collaboration laboratories, community workshops, building parties, implementation, and launch.
Results: Key success measures included improvements in perceived safety and security of residents, and better livelihood opportunities, relationships with authorities, play opportunities for children, and drainage and environmental quality. The results achieved recognition in several international awards. The method has since been applied to other neighbourhoods in comparable settings, such as Cape Town, Accra, and Kampala. It has also been adapted successfully to settings other than poverty alleviation, including its use in Europe and North America.
Conclusion: As a community health intervention method, it is low-cost, and its focus on collaboration maximises suitability across a variety of contexts. However, there are unique features specific to post-conflict settings, so it is recommended that the model street methods’ suitability for application in postconflict settings be further considered and investigated.
LANGUAGE VARIATION: AN ANALYSIS OF LANGUAGE VARIETIES USED BY EFL STUDENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEXT
Authors: Emira Putri Ambarwati , Jaya Putra Nyoman Adi 
Published: September 2024

Language variation defined as a language use according the users, which differs based on the topic being discussed, the relationship between the speaker, the interlocutor, as well as the media of communication. This research focus on language variation used by the EFL students on social media. This research aimed to investigate the variation of language on social media specifically on Instagram and Facebook used by the EFL students. The design of this research was a descriptive qualitative method. The data collection was gained from observation, and documentation. The validity of the data used in this study was triangulation of sources, methods, and theory. The data analysis was gained by using Miles and Huberman theories. The result showed that there are some language variation used by the students on social media in term of dialect, colloquial language, gender, code, slang, code switching, and code mixing. The students are commonly applying a variety of unexpected language variations in the forms of acronyms, familiar phrases, and the use of local languages (sumbawanese) combined with the national language, English, even Arabic. Some might use English creatively, while others may struggle with grammar or vocabulary, leading to unique forms of expression that blend their English skills with local linguistic patterns. In addition, the EFL students use a wide range of languages on social media platforms especially Facebook and Instagram. Thus, the occurrence of language diversity is not only caused by non homogeneous speakers but also caused by the wide range of social interactions the speaker engage in.

Статья посвящена жизни и творчеству выдающегося русского философа Льва Михайловича Лопатина (1855–1920), профессора Императорского Московского университета, председателя Московского психологического общества и редактора журнала «Вопросы философии и психологии». В статье показан жизненный путь Лопатина, основные вехи его научно-педагогическая деятельности, воспоминания его учеников, взгляды Лопатина на основные философские проблемы. Настоящая статья открывает цикл публикаций о философском творчестве Л. М. Лопатина. Представлен анализ Лопатиным достоинств и недостатков традиционных для европейской философии религиозно-философских систем: деизма, пантеизма и теизма. В таком традиционном разделении систем он обнаруживает нелогичность. Показана несостоятельность пантеизма. По мнению Лопатина, философия в своем стремлении обосновать понятие Абсолюта должна прийти к теизму.
The article is devoted to the life and work of an outstanding Russian philosopher Lev Mikhailovich Lopatin (1855–1920), professor at the Imperial Moscow University, chairman of the Moscow Psychological Society and editor of the journal “Questions of Philosophy and Psychology”.

This article opens a series of publications about the philosophical work of L. M. Lopatin. Lopatin’s analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of religious and philosophical systems traditional for European philosophy: deism, pantheism and theism, is presented. He finds illogicality in this traditional division of systems. The inconsistency of pantheism is shown. According to Lopatin, philosophy, in its desire to substantiate the concept of the Absolute, must come to theism.
Image and text: liturgical inscriptions on objects of ancient Russian pictorial embroidery (aspects of the problem)
Authors: Егорова М.С. 
Published: September 2024

Литургические надписи, включающие молитвословные или гимнографические тексты, являются значимыми элементами композиций, выполненных в технике лицевого шитья, на предметах богослужебного облачения. В древнерусской традиции подобные надписи выполняли несколько функций: фиксировали тождество определенного изображения традиционному иконографическому сюжету, играли роль молитвенного обращения, выступали в качестве декоративного элемента. Статья посвящена одному из аспектов изучения литургических надписей, а именно рассмотрению шитого текста как своеобразной «идеограммы», семантика которой тесно связана с символикой священнического облачения. Объектом исследования служит медальон омофора, созданного в середине XVII в. в мастерской царицы Марии Ильиничны, который включает изображение Вознесения Господня и текст стихиры из службы Вознесению. Песнопение на каймах медальона трактуется в статье в контексте целостного образа Христа «в славе», обусловленного семантикой омофора как предмета богослужебной одежды архиерея и действий епископа во время совершения малого входа, которые отражены в древнерусских литургических толкованиях.
Liturgical inscriptions, including prayer or hymnographic texts, are significant elements of the compositions made using the technique of pictorial embroidery on liturgical vestments. In ancient Russian tradition, such inscriptions performed several functions: they recorded the identity of a certain image with a traditional iconographic plot, played the role of a prayer appeal, and acted as a decorative element. The article is devoted to an aspect of the study of liturgical inscriptions, namely to the consideration of the embroidered text as a kind of “ideogram”, the semantics of which is closely related to the symbolism of priestly vestments. The object of the study is the omophorion medallion, created in the middle of the 17th century in the workshop of queen Maria Ilyinichna, which includes an image of the Lord’s Ascension and the text of the sticheron from the service of the Ascension. The chant on the borders of the medallion is interpreted in the article in the context of the holistic image of Christ “in glory”, determined by the semantics of the omophorion as an item of liturgical clothing of the bishop and the bishop’s actions during the lesser entrance, which are reflected in ancient Russian liturgical interpretations.
