Authors: Ogboghodo Esohe Olivia , Ihensekhien Isoken , Salami Lilian Imuentiyan 
Published: November 2023

Childhood nutrition and lifestyle patterns play a critical role in shaping the health and development of individuals, laying the foundation for a healthy adulthood. In Nigeria, Edo State faces a dual burden of malnutrition, with pockets of undernutrition coexisting with the rising prevalence of childhood obesity. This cross-sectional study assessed the nutritional status of primary school pupils in the State and explored lifestyle factors such as dietary habits and physical activity. Data were collected on 1805 pupils from sixteen randomly selected schools through anthropometric measurements and Administration Food Consumption Pattern Questionnaires. These data were analysed using SPSS version 23 and presented using frequency distributions, percentage distributions, mean, standard deviations, and chi-square. The study revealed that 77.0% of the respondents exhibited normal nutritional status, indicating a satisfactory outcome for a significant proportion of the school-age population. However, there was a worrisome prevalence of over-nutrition, with 14% of the pupils classified as obese 10.0% extreme tallness. Regarding dietary habits, most pupils reported consuming three meals a day, but a significant proportion relied on carbohydrate-rich foods, raising concerns about the nutritional adequacy of their diets. Regarding physical activity, a higher proportion of respondents engaged in activities during school hours, but participation was low after the school period. The study underscored the importance of addressing over-nutrition and promoting balanced diets and physical activity among primary school pupils in Edo State, Nigeria. Effective health promotion strategies must consider lifestyle preferences to improve the health and well-being of this vulnerable population to ensure a healthier future for Edo State's children

Electron–Ion Heating Partition in Imbalanced Solar-wind Turbulence
Authors: Squire Jonathan , Meyrand Romain , Kunz Matthew W. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractA likely candidate mechanism to heat the solar corona and solar wind is low-frequency “Alfvénic” turbulence sourced by magnetic fluctuations near the solar surface. Depending on its properties, such turbulence can heat different species via different mechanisms, and the comparison of theoretical predictions to observed temperatures, wind speeds, anisotropies, and their variation with heliocentric radius provides a sensitive test of this physics. Here we explore the importance of normalized cross helicity, or imbalance, for controlling solar-wind heating, since it is a key parameter of magnetized turbulence and varies systematically with wind speed and radius. Based on a hybrid-kinetic simulation in which the forcing’s imbalance decreases with time—a crude model for a plasma parcel entrained in the outflowing wind—we demonstrate how significant changes to the turbulence and heating result from the “helicity barrier” effect. Its dissolution at low imbalance causes its characteristic features—strong perpendicular ion heating with a steep “transition-range” drop in electromagnetic fluctuation spectra—to disappear, driving a larger fraction of the energy into electrons and parallel ion heat, and halting the emission of ion-scale waves. These predictions seem to agree with a diverse array of solar-wind observations, offering to explain a variety of complex correlations and features within a single theoretical framework.
« L’Europe pour l’Afrique, l’Afrique pour l’Europe »
Authors: Berardi Silvio 
Published: November 2023

Cet essai, qui s’appuie grandement sur des sources d’archives, tente de reconstruire le concept d’Eurafrique dans la pensée et l’œuvre de l’africaniste Paolo D’Agostino Orsini di Camerota. C’est un chemin traversé de vicissitudes et donc non linéaire. Sa conception était initialement ancrée dans des intentions de propagande en faveur du régime fasciste et, par conséquent, prête à soutenir une position de disparité entre les deux continents, fruit d’idéologies convaincues de la supériorité de la race blanche. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, à travers un processus culturel et évaluatif complexe, qui, cependant, exprimait bien les raisons souvent difficiles du changement de perspective, D’Agostino Orsini a progressivement modifié sa thèse initiale : il considérait désormais nécessaire une coopération euro-africaine sur un pied d’égalité, en vue de construire des États-Unis d’Afrique.
« Soif d’authenticité » – Une socio-histoire de la publicité de la bière au Togo (1960-2018)
Authors: Frisch Robin 
Published: November 2023

Cet article entend, dans le sillage du politique par le bas , rendre compte d’une recherche sur la dimension symbolique du pouvoir politique au Togo depuis les années 1960. La publicité autour de la bière reflète non seulement l’histoire nationale, mais aussi l’ambivalence dans la culture de mémoire du passé colonial allemand. Comment la bière – à l’origine brassée par des entreprises allemandes – devient-elle une boisson « authentiquement » togolaise ? Les deux arguments principaux sont que la publicité autour de la bière au Togo est un vecteur d’authenticité nationale ainsi qu’un opérateur de subjectivité qui influence notamment les représentations de genre. La recherche se fonde sur l’analyse des discours visuels et sur des entretiens réalisés en forme de micro-bar à Lomé entre avril et juin 2018.
L’économisation des réseaux sociaux Facebook et WhatsApp chez les jeunes femmes camerounaises
Authors: Kouam Isidore Steve 
Published: November 2023

Ce texte traite des usages économiques des réseaux sociaux chez les jeunes femmes dans l’espace francophone. Il s’appuie sur le cas du Cameroun, où le taux de pénétration d’internet est passé de 4 % à 36,5 % entre 2010 et 2022. Avec plus de 4,10 millions d’utilisateurs, dont 42,5 % de femmes, les réseaux sociaux Facebook et WhatsApp sont les plateformes les plus utilisées au Cameroun. Malgré cette massification de l’utilisation du numérique, les usages féminins de ces plateformes restent à documenter. L’article se donne pour objectif d’expliquer les usages économiques des réseaux sociaux chez les jeunes femmes camerounaises. Quels sont les déterminants des usages économiques des applications Facebook et WhatsApp chez les jeunes femmes camerounaises ? Nous soutenons que ce sont les caractéristiques socio-économiques des jeunes e-entrepreneuses et le rapport coûts-bénéfices dans ce type d’activité qui incitent les jeunes femmes à faire un usage économique des réseaux sociaux. À partir d’un matériau constitué d’entretiens semi-directifs, d’ethnographie du digital et d’une revue documentaire, nous décrivons les itinéraires et les mobiles des vendeuses en ligne, et analysons les facteurs structurels, cognitifs et stratégiques de rentabilisation des réseaux sociaux au Cameroun. Et nous finissons par nous interroger, à titre purement exploratoire, sur les évolutions de carrière que pourraient vivre ces jeunes entrepreneures, notamment vers le secteur formel.
La déclinaison des objectifs de développement durable dans la planification territoriale au Togo
Authors: Neglo Asseye 
Published: November 2023

La mise en œuvre des Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) est une étape importante dans le processus de développement des pays. Bien que ces ODD s’intègrent dans la planification territoriale, leur déclinaison dans les territoires constitue un défi de taille. Le Togo, tout comme les pays membres de l’Organisation des Nations unies (ONU), dans l’atteinte des ODD, élabore un Plan national de développement (PND) et instaure de nouveaux programmes de développement. La généralisation des ODD peut-elle être un problème dans leur choix et leur mise en œuvre aux échelles locales ?
La compréhension des intrications Humains – Nature par la lecture historique des pathologies environnementales
Authors: Charlet Clara 
Published: November 2023

Dès le xx e siècle, les balbutiements de la crise écologique mettent à mal la santé des végétaux, des animaux, puis peu à peu, celle des humains. La lecture épistémologique de cette crise sous le prisme des pathologies environnementales qui en découlent semble être l’une des clés pour percevoir les enjeux à venir, mais également les solutions qui s’offrent à nous pour surpasser les maux de l’anthropocène. Et le remède au sens d’outil de la pensée qui s’inscrit dans cette perspective de la pérennisation de la santé, c’est la notion de vivant. Il serait intéressant de comprendre en quoi l’intrication de toutes les strates du vivant peut permettre de mieux percevoir les risques qui se jouent en matière de santé, et comment une médecine plus holiste et intégrative des êtres entre eux s’impose comme la pierre angulaire d’une reconnexion capable de penser le soin, à la lumière d’une histoire de la médecine à la fois longue et contemporaine.
Finalité et caractéristiques de l’histoire des sciences selon Jean Rostand (1894-1977)
Authors: Guyard Marianne 
Published: November 2023

Cet article 1 a pour objectif de dégager la finalité et les principales caractéristiques des écrits historiques du biologiste et moraliste français Jean Rostand (1894-1977). Lors de son Discours inaugural au xii e Congrès international d’histoire des sciences tenu à Paris en 1968, Rostand compare l’histoire de la science à « une lente et laborieuse embryogenèse de la vérité ». À l’aide de cette comparaison, il énonce la finalité principale de l’histoire des sciences : retracer l’histoire des vérités scientifiques. Ce faisant, l’histoire des sciences permet de rendre hommage aux précurseurs en révélant le travail progressif et complexe de l’esprit scientifique, naturellement porté à vouloir déceler la vérité, et, par-là, propre à éveiller des vocations chez les jeunes.
Regard d’un jardinier
Authors: Martella Marco 
Published: November 2023

Cet article tente de déterminer le rôle de l’aspiration esthétique dans l’art des jardins depuis les premiers paradeisos persans, et de répondre à la question : quelle est la place de la beauté dans la création paysagère aujourd’hui ? Si souvent elle n’occupe plus une place centrale dans les projets contemporains de jardins, plus tournés vers l’écologie que vers des idéaux esthétiques, elle continue à guider le travail du jardinier dans son enclos fleuri, qui demeure « un petit monde, un monde parfait », comme l’écrivain et poète Vita Sackville-West définit le jardin.

Authors: Andarawis Emad , Shaddock David , Popp Jeremy , Lin David 
Published: November 2023

Conventional oil and gas drilling measurement while drilling (MWD) systems are typically designed to operate at temperatures <200°C. To increase the efficiency of drilling unconventional geothermal wells, downhole MWD tools are needed that can operate in the unique thermal challenges encountered in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). GE demonstrated a 300°C downhole navigation system. The system utilizes GE’s internally developed state-of-the-art MEMS multiple ring Gyroscope (MRG), and a high temperature gyroscope control and readout application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The MRG, ASIC and associated high temperature, high reliability packaging were integrated to demonstrate the performance and functionality of the gyroscope across the temperature range from room temperature to 300°C. Specialized long-term capable high temperature test platforms were developed to enable the characterization and testing of the gyroscope system and utilized to validate application-relevant lifetime capability.
Study of Late Complications of Restorative Proctocolectomy with Ileal Pouch–Anal Anastomosis for Ulcerative Colitis Operated at a Tertiary Care Center and Factors Affecting to That

Published: November 2023

Background and Objective:
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (RPC-IPAA) is usually preferred surgical treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC). Although treated primarily medically, some refractory and complicated cases of UC may require surgical intervention. It eliminates chronic UC and the risk of colonic cancer. This research aims to study the risk factors associated with the development of postoperative complications.

Methodology:
For this cohort study, we included all the patients who underwent RPC-IPAA in the Department of Gastroenterology, Sheth Vadilal Sarabhai General Hospital, Ahmedabad, over 6 years. Data of the patients were obtained retrospectively from the medical records. We collected the data and analyzed using appropriate statistical tests to look for preoperative patient variables associated with late complications. Late complications were defined as those developed after 1 month.

Results:
Out of 32 patients, 19 were male and 13 were female, with an average age of 32.3 years at the time of operation. Thirteen patients developed complications such as pouchitis (n = 6), incisional hernia (n = 3), bowel obstruction (n = 2), pouch leakage (n = 1), and erectile dysfunction (n = 1). We found serum albumin <3 mg/dl and pancolitis associated with more postoperative late complications with P = 0.007 and 0.04, respectively, which is statistically significant.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrates that low preoperative albumin level and pancolitis are risk factors for late complications of IPAA. Preoperative nutritional support, especially albumin, could reduce late complications.
Clinicopathological and Immunohistochemical Characterization of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour at Four Tertiary Health Centers in Nigeria Using CD117, DOG1, and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 Biomarkers

Published: November 2023

Aims:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are neoplastic lesions that primarily affect the digestive tract and develop from interstitial cells of Cajal. These lesions require histopathological and immunohistochemical characterization due to their malignant potential and personalized treatment. In this investigation, the sex, age, lesional sites of origin, histopathological types, the prevalence of human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER-2) expression, prognostic indices (based on tumor size and mitotic figures), expression of CD117 and DOG1, and characteristics of patients with GIST were all characterized.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of GIST cases seen at four tertiary health-care centers in Nigeria over a 10-year period (2008–2017) and investigated utilizing histopathological and immunohistochemical (CD117, DOG1, and HER-2) methods.

Results:
In this investigation, there were twenty GIST cases. Notably, the majority (40%) of the cases had tumors with sizes between 7.0 and 8.0 cm; the stomach was the most frequent site (70%) and the spindle cell type of GIST was the most prevalent (80%) histopathological type. In addition, the stomach was significantly associated with GIST as an origin site (with a P = 0.001), and 100% and 50% of these tumors were immunoreactive with CD117 and DOG1, respectively.

Conclusions:
In our study, GISTs most frequently develop in the stomach, and CD117 and DOG1 are essential for correctly diagnosing these tumors. However, HER-2 immunoreactivity is a predictive marker of survival for personalized care.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome is a cardiomyopathy consisting of myocardial sideration occurring after emotional stress that is characterized by transient apical bloating of the left ventricle. We report the observation of a 69-year-old patient, who underwent a left pneumonectomy for a large left bronchopulmonary apical cancer with the postoperative course complicated by acute heart failure with dyspnea. The diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome was by exclusion after eliminating the other etiologies of dyspnea postpneumonectomy.

Abstract
Managing malignant pleural effusion coexisting with a carcinoma en cuirasse (CEC) is challenging, especially with pleural effusion, which is to be evacuated with a chest tube that should be anchored to the skin of the chest using a nonabsorbable suture. A 47-year-old female patient presented to the surgical outpatient clinic with complaints of a week’s history of worsening breathlessness and intermittent dry cough. Two years before this complaint, she had a biopsy of an ulcerating right breast mass which revealed a triple-positive invasive ductal carcinoma. She received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequently had a mastectomy that was followed by radiation to the chest wall and adjuvant chemotherapy. The general examination revealed a middle age woman who was dyspneic, with the chest showing a mastectomy scar and evidence of CECs. A diagnosis of right massive pleural effusion was made, which was completely drained by a Foley catheter followed by chemical pleurodesis. This is the first report of the coexistent of this condition, for which a patient would need urgent intervention. Instead of using a chest that would have required anchoring it on the infiltrated chest skin, an improvised urinary catheter desirable as self-retention could be achieved by inflation of the balloon.

Published: November 2023

Objective:
To compare and evaluate the efficacy of C-Reactive Protein and total leucocyte count as markers for monitoring patients of odontogenic space infection.

Materials and Methods:
Blood samples were taken preoperatively and post-operatively at day 1, day 2, day 3 and day 7 for measuring the levels of CRP and TLC. The trends of CRP and TLC were analysed against the Clinical Severity Scale (CSS). The study was carried out on patients of odontogenic space infection, and minimum of 50 patients were selected for this study. Comparative evaluation of C-reactive protein (CRP) versus total leucocyte count (TLC) was performed.

Results:
Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Inferential statistics were performed using Spearman Correlation. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05. The result of the study demonstrates that the C-reactive protein (CRP) was found to be more consistent indicator for monitoring the patients of odontogenic space infection than TLC, Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Conclusion:
We conclude that CRP should be incorporated as monitoring tool, and it serves as a better indicator than TLC for managing patients with orofacial space infections of odontogenic origin.

Authors: Mittal Gaurav , Garg Ritesh , Rathi Abhishek , Ghatak Debi P. , Suman Sonu K. 
Published: November 2023

Introduction:
The study deals with improving the understanding of implant design in various situations.

Materials and Method:
40 implants were placed out of which 20 were tapered and rest were cylindrical. These were further divided into immediate and delayed settings. The patients were followed upto 6 months and the results were compiled.

Result:
Statistically significant difference were found between tapered and cylindrical implants in terms of quality of osseointegration and maintenance of crestal bone height.

Conclusion:
It has been gathered from the study that while delayed placement suggests waiting time period varying between 3 and 6 months, it offers a predictable procedure in terms of visibility, good implant-bone contact, and closure all of which, promote a better outcome for dental implant therapy. Immediate implant placement solution is very viable in reducing the time period involved in dental implant therapy. Apart from few to minimum contraindications, it can be predictably performed.
