Published: December 2023

L’énergie d’origine ligneuse est largement utilisée en République démocratique du Congo (RDC) où elle satisfait plus de 90 % des besoins énergétiques des ménages et de certains professionnels. Cette étude dresse l’état des lieux des connaissances sur la filière bois-énergie et les plantations dédiées en RDC, en particulier dans la province du Nord-Kivu, et cherche à relever les éventuelles lacunes dans l’information qui nécessiteraient d’être comblées. La revue des études a révélé un caractère fragmentaire de la recherche sur la filière. La consommation en bois-énergie n’est connue que pour quelques villes, avec des estimations questionnables pour certaines d’entre elles dont Butembo au Nord-Kivu. L’extraction du bois-énergie se fait dans toutes les zones boisées accessibles dont les forêts naturelles, les terres agricoles et les plantations forestières. Certaines pratiques sont illégales et ont lieu dans les aires protégées. Depuis les années 1980, environ 69 400 ha de plantations à vocation énergétique ont été réalisés en RDC par 15 projets. Ces plantations sont encore marginales, trop jeunes et incapables de satisfaire la demande actuelle ou future. Elles fourniraient, combinées avec les plantations initiées hors projets, environ 9, 30, 32 et 54 % du bois-énergie consommé respectivement à Kinshasa, Bukavu, Goma et Butembo. À part celles sur les plantations du plateau Batéké et du Nord-Kivu, il n’existe pas encore de publications scientifiques sur les autres plantations à vocation énergétique de la RDC. Pour gérer durablement la ressource et sécuriser les approvisionnements, des actions sont indispensables en ce qui concerne prioritairement : la diversification des sources d’approvisionnement en bois-énergie, à travers notamment de larges programmes de plantations forestières et agroforestières ainsi que l’aménagement des forêts naturelles ; l’amélioration des techniques d’exploitation du bois et de sa carbonisation ; la réduction de la consommation en bois-énergie grâce aux foyers de combustion améliorés et au recours à des énergies alternatives au bois. Cela exige aussi la formalisation et la structuration de la filière bois-énergie suivant des dispositions réglementaires spécifiques à édicter. Des recherches complémentaires sont nécessaires en vue d’améliorer l’exploitation, la transformation et d’optimiser l’utilisation du bois-énergie.

Vitex doniana Sweet est une espèce forestière connue pour son importance socio-économique en raison de ses utilisations alimentaires, thérapeutiques et culturelles. Elle est actuellement menacée de disparition du fait des fortes pressions anthropiques qui nécessitent des mesures afin d’assurer sa gestion durable. La présente étude visait à évaluer l’état des populations de l’espèce dans trois types d’utilisation des terres correspondant à différentes intensités de perturbations anthropiques, à savoir les aires protégées, les zones pastorales et les zones de culture. À base d’un échantillonnage stratifié et orienté, 82 placettes de différentes tailles ont été installées en fonction de l’habitat considéré. Les données collectées ont concerné la hauteur totale et le diamètre du tronc à 1,30 m du sol des arbres de l’espèce. Les juvéniles ont été dénombrés, leur hauteur mesurée. Le mécanisme de régénération a été déterminé par excavation des juvéniles. L’état sanitaire des arbres a été évalué sur la base de la présence/absence d’infestation et de trace d’exploitation. Les résultats montrent une influence significative (p < 0,05) du type d’utilisation des terres sur la densité des individus, le diamètre moyen du tronc et l’état sanitaire des arbres. La densité des adultes était 3,35 et 2,49 fois respectivement plus élevée dans les zones pastorales et les aires protégées que dans les zones de culture (5,44 ± 2,80 arbres/ha). La régénération dans les aires protégées (43,83 ± 7,65 ind./ha) était 1,27 et 2,61 fois supérieure à celle de la zone pastorale et les zones de culture, respectivement. Les distributions en classe de diamètre présentent une allure en cloche pour les zones pastorales, en structure erratique pour les zones de cultures et en asymétrie positive dans les aires protégées. Le rejet de souche et le drageonnage sont les modes préférentiels de reproduction végétative de l’espèce. Plus de 90 % des individus rencontrés sont affectés par l’exploitation humaine, à savoir le prélèvement des feuilles par élagage des branches et la récolte de l’écorce et des racines. Nos résultats suggèrent un renforcement des mesures de protection de l’espèce et une meilleure valorisation de ses produits afin d’assurer sa conservation.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis strategi komunikasi dalam mengelola kearifan lokal Arisan Beras dan perlindungan sosial apa yang dirasakan oleh masyarakat Dusun Kedung Banteng Desa Pesantren, Kecamatan Tembelang, Kabupaten Jombang sehingga arisan tetap bertahan hingga puluhan tahun. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pemilihan informan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan indepth interview, observasi dan dokumentasi. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis Miles & Huberman. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa strategi komunikasi yang digunakan dalam arisan beras tujuan utamanya adalah mempertahankan keberlangsungan arisan beras. Bentuk komunikasi yang terjadi dalam arisan beras adalah komunikasi dalam diskusi kegiatan arisan, mengelola jumlah anggota arisan, pengumuman pelaksanaan arisan. Sebelum melaksanakan komunikasi pengurus memperhatikan apakah komunikasi dilakukan untuk tujuan memastikan bahwa terjadi suatu pengertian (To Secure Understanding), untuk membina dengan baik penerimaan anggota arisan (To Establish Acceptance), menggiatkan atau memotivasi anggota arisan (To Motivate Action), dan bagaimana mencapai tujuan yang hendak dicapai oleh pihak komunikator dari proses komunikasi (To Goals Which Communicator Sought To Achieve). Berdasar memperhatikan tujuan tersebut, pengurus arisan beras menggunakan komunikasi interpersonal tanpa media dan komunikasi interpersonal menggunakan media WhatsApp. Strategi komunikasi interpersonal konteks tinggi juga dilakukan pengurus ketika memberikan pengumuman pelaksanaan arisan kepada anggota arisan yang senior. Melalui arisan beras masyarakat melaksanakan perlindungan sosial dengan saling membantu mencukupi dan meringankan beban kebutuhan bahan makanan pokok yang digunakan pada saat hajatan. Sehingga hajatan tidak membuat masyarakat terlilit hutang atau mempengaruhi ekonomi masyarakat secara mendasar. Anggota arisan terhindar dari kerentanan kemiskinan masyarakat pedesaan.

Published: December 2023

Target: the aim is to identify the factors contributing to the involvement of the population of the Republic of Mordovia in drug use.Materials and methods. The study was conducted among residents of the Republic of Mordovia aged 14 to 60 years. Here we used a multi-stage sampling with quota selection of respondents at the last stage. A two-stage cluster analysis was applied to determine the factors of population involvement in drug use.Results. The study showed that the population is aware of the seriousness of the problem of drug addiction in the country. However, other questions require priority resolution at the respondent’s place of residence.The article compares the indicators of the spread of non-medical drug use according to official medical statistics and the results of sociological research. There is a discrepancy between the values of the prevalence of non-medical drug use according to the data of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Mordovia and the data of sociological studies. According to the study, the proportion of the population of Mordovia who consume drugs is 0,7%. The main factors of involvement in drug use were the social environment, the influence of the Internet, and the availability of narcotic drugs.Conclusion. According to the analysis, two clusters are identified. The first one forms the majority (90%) of the inhabitants of Mordovia. It includes those who have not received offers to try drugs, do not use the Internet to get information about drugs and who do not have drug users in their social environment. The second cluster (10%) included respondents who received an offer to try drugs, who were familiar with drug users and resorted to the Internet for drug information. The socio-demographic characteristics of the second cluster differ from the general sample, men prevail here, and the population in the age ranges from 21 to 25 years, 26–30 years and 31–35 years.

Abstract
PEO coatings AA 2024-T3 aluminum alloy samples were obtained with low current densities and an optimized relationship between anodic and cathodic charges were used aiming to evaluate the effect on tribological and corrosion resistance behavior and increase energy efficiency. The results show that, according to the increase in time, new phases are formed in the ceramic coating. Furthermore, the good ratio between cathodic and anodic charges suggested in the literature, allow thick coatings to be achieved with high hardness, even with low current densities and short PEO process times. The characterization of the coating by GIXRD analysis evidenced that, with an increase in time, new phases are formed. All the obtained coatings improved wear and corrosion resistance, when compared to the uncoated substrate, and the coating obtained after 10 minutes showed the best performance in wear and corrosion resistance. These optimized electrical parameters allowed optimization of the energy efficiency to obtain the α-Al2O3 phase, which other authors reported as a possible result, only by using a greater amount of energy and longer formation time. This indicates the greater efficiency of the operational parameters used in this study, to obtain a coating with very good wear properties by the PEO process.
Do Governance and Chinese OFDI Influence Differentially Economic Growth Across African Regions and Income Groups?
Authors: FAMBO Houlda , Shunqi Ge 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Governance plays a pivotal role in shaping how FDI impacts economic growth in Africa. Weak governance in many African countries has posed a barrier to realizing the full potential of foreign investment on the continent. Our study, based on panel data from 41 African countries spanning 2005 to 2020 and employing Sys-GMM and pooled OLS econometrics methods, confirms that both Chinese OFDIs and governance independently contribute positively to economic growth in African nations. However, when considering their combined effect, it is positive but statistically insignificant. When examining regional and income groups, we found significant positive impacts in Central and East Africa, negative and significant impacts in North Africa, and varying effects elsewhere. In summary, governance is pivotal in optimizing the impact of Chinese OFDI on African economic growth, with regional and developmental nuances. Hence, we recommend that African governments and Chinese stakeholders join efforts to improve governance and increase Chinese OFDI in Africa.
Primary membranous nephropathy combined with ALECT-2 renal amyloidosis：a case report
Authors: Yang Ying , Yan Binjuan , Liu Xinyan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is an autoimmune kidney disease and the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. It is characterized by the accumulation of immune deposits leading to glomerular basement membrane dysfunction caused by the deposition of subepithelial immune complexes. Amyloidosis is a rare group of diseases characterized by abnormal protein folding and extracellular deposition of insoluble protofibrils. It can be limited to one organ system or affect the entire body. In systemic amyloidosis, the kidney is the most commonly affected organ, often leading to renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. PMN combined with renal amyloidosis without secondary factors is rare. In this study, we report a case of PMN combined with amyloid nephropathy with only interstitial immunoglobulin light chain deposits.
Case reportThis article reports a case of membranous nephropathy associated with ALECT-2 amyloidosis with nephrotic syndrome. A 62-year-old woman with the nephrotic syndrome had positive antiphospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies and a renal biopsy suggesting stage II membranous nephropathy, but a few focal deposits of faintly stained material were seen in the interstitium with positive expression of PAS and Congo red. It is rare for membranous nephropathy to be complicated by ALECT-2 protein deposition, and even rarer for it to be deposited only in the interstitium. Mass spectrometry can be used clinically as an aid to diagnosis and treatment is based on the treatment of primary glomerular disease with supportive therapy for ALECT-2 renal amyloidosis.
Conclusion The combination of PMN and amyloidosis is rare and attention should be paid to the subtype of the disease and the exclusion of secondary factors. A thorough clinical and pathological examination will help in the classification and staging of the disease. Detection of serum anti-PLA2R antibodies and glomerular PLA2R antigen is helpful in the diagnosis of PMN. ALECT-2 amyloidosis has a relatively benign progression and renal biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis. For amyloidosis with unknown typing, further typing can be refined with genetic testing or mass spectrometry. We look forward to finding novel therapeutic options that can target both PMN and ALECT-2 amyloid nephropathy in the future.
Insight into the Impact of Land Use/Land Cover Change on the runoff incorporating hydrological modelling in the water regime for the watershed
Authors: Sharma Ankita , Nikam Bhaskar , Bagri Dhirandra Singh 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Land and water are the two essential natural resources for human survival. Land Use/Land Cover is an important parameter governing the hydrology of a region. Increased human interventions have caused different modifications in the land cover, directly or indirectly affecting the hydrological cycle and processes in the long run. Raising urban and rural growth leads to an increase in the runoff by diminishing the perviousness of the region. Distributed hydrological modelling provides an efficient way to evaluate such changes by allowing quantification of streamflow patterns and distribution of hydrological components throughout the watershed. Remote sensing has the potential to be a more accurate tool for collecting spatial and temporal databases for studying hydrological processes. This study helps researchers to convey their ideas to the development of data collection and data extraction techniques, adoption of appropriate workflows for assembling multiple datasets, and analysis of the time-series impact of urbanisation on the watershed's runoff potential.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background:
Prostatic fibrosis, characterized by the accumulation of myofibroblasts and collagen deposition, is closely associated with LUTS and may lead to mechanical obstruction of the urethra. Additionally, Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), characterized by central obesity, high blood sugar, lipid metabolism disorders, and hypertension, is increasingly recognized as a proinflammatory condition linked to prostate inflammation.
Methods:
Clinical data from 108 subjects who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate or bipolar plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate were prospectively collected between June 2021 and August 2022. Patients were divided in two groups according to whether or not they had a diagnosis of MetS. Specimens were stained with Masson trichrome and the periurethral prostatic fibrosis extent was evaluated using quantitative morphometry.
Results:
43 patients (39.8%) were diagnosed with MetS. Patients with MetS showed a significantly greater extent of prostatic fibrosis than the others (68.1 ± 17.1% vs. 42.5 ± 18.2%, P < 0.001), and there was a positive correlation between the number of positive MetS parameters and the extent of prostatic fibrosis (R2 = 0.4436, P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that central obesity (B = 2.941, 95% confidence interval, 1.700-3.283), elevated fasting glucose (B = 1.036, 95% confidence interval, 0.293–1.780), reduced HDL cholesterol (B = 0.910, 95% confidence interval, 0.183–1.636) and elevated triglycerides (B = 1.666, 95% confidence interval, 0.824–2.508) were positively correlated to prostatic fibrosis. Elevated blood pressure, however, was unrelated to prostatic fibrosis (B = 0.009, 95% confidence interval, -0.664-0.683).
Conclusions:
The present findings suggest that prostatic fibrosis is positively correlated with MetS and its components including central obesity, elevated fasting glucose, reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol and elevated triglycerides.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to compare the salivary protein profile in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and periodontitis and their respective controls.
Methods: Eighty participants were included in the study. The four groups were formed by individuals with DM2 and periodontitis (DM2+P, n=20), DM2 without periodontitis (DM2, n=20), periodontitis without DM2 (P, n=20) and individuals without periodontitis and without DM2 (H, n=20). Periodontal clinical examinations were performed and unstimulated saliva was collected. Proteomic analysis was performed by shotgun mass spectrometry. The results were obtained by searching the Homo sapiens database of the UniProt catalog.
Results: A total of 220 proteins were identified in saliva samples. In the comparison between DM2+P and DM2 groups, of the 163 common proteins, 27 were up-regulated (e.g. Protein S100-A8 was 6 times up-regulated). The DM2+P and P groups had 87 common proteins, 26 of which were up-regulated (e.g. Immunoglobulin lambda constant 7 more than 2 times up-regulated). The non-DM2 groups (P and H) had 115 common proteins, 22 were up-regulated (e.g. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase more than 2 times up-regulated). The groups without periodontitis (DM2 and H) presented 119 common proteins, where 23 were up-regulated (e.g. Hemoglobin subunit alphathat was more than 10 times up-regulated).
Conclusion: The presence of DM2 and periodontitis significantly impacted the salivary proteome of individuals. Our proteomic analysis demonstrated that changes in the S100 family proteins (S100A8 and S100 A9) are highly related to the presence of DM2 and periodontitis.
Clinical Relevance: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and periodontitis are highly prevalent chronic diseases that present a wide variety of signs and symptoms. They present a bidirectional relationship, where patients with DM have a higher prevalence and severity of periodontitis, and patients with periodontitis have a higher prevalence of DM, worse glycemic control, and more diabetic complications. Diagnosing periodontitis requires specific clinical examinations, which require a highly trained operator. In this study, we used high throughput proteomics in order to evaluate non-invasive biomarkers for periodontitis in type 2 DM subjects. The results can contribute to earlier, more accurate, and less costly diagnosis of periodontitis in diabetic subjects, enabling better diabetes control.
