Published: July 2023

A l’ère du développement durable, une observation paradoxale montre une surexploitation des ressources naturelles. Ce phénomène que subissent ces ressources malgré leur importance sociale et économique pour les populations, invite les acteurs du développement à renforcer le potentiel socioéconomique des filières agroforestières en Côte d’Ivoire. Dès lors, ce travail présente la valeur sociale du néré ou (dôgô, solo, doun, nadigué et ninguin en langues locales) dans l’aire culturelle Gour en Côte d’Ivoire. L’étude s’est inscrite dans une approche qualitative. Elle a mobilisé la recherche documentaire, l’observation directe et l’entretien semi-directif comme techniques de production de données. Cette étude met en relief des savoirs traditionnels d’ordres nutritionnels et thérapeutiques des communautés Gour liés au néré. Ensuite, elle identifie des représentations sociales liées à l’arbre du néré tels un bien économique et un fertilisant naturel pour les communautés étudiées. Enfin, des interdits sociaux et des pratiques culturelles d’adoration associées à l’arbre du néré y sont décrits comme mécanismes de conservation et de gestion coutumière du néré à base communautaire. En somme, ce travail montre la valeur sociale du néré à travers l’utilité préventive et curative de son usage dans le traitement de certaines maladies ainsi que sa fonction économique et écologique.

In an era of sustainable development, a paradoxical observation is that natural resources are being over-exploited. Despite the social and economic importance of these resources to the local population, this phenomenon is prompting development stakeholders to strengthen the socio-economic potential of agroforestry sectors in Ivory Coast. This study therefore presents the social value of néré or (dôgô, solo, doun, nadigué and ninguin in local languages) in the Gour cultural area of Ivory Coast. The study took a qualitative approach. It used documentary research, direct observation and semi-structured interviews as data-gathering techniques. The study highlights the Gour communities' traditional nutritional and therapeutic knowledge relating to néré. It then identifies the social representations associated with the cowpea tree as an economic asset and a natural fertiliser for the communities studied. Finally, social prohibitions and cultural practices of adoration associated with the dwarf nut tree are described as mechanisms of conservation and customary management of the dwarf nut tree on a community basis. In short, this work shows the social value of the dwarf nut tree through the preventive and curative utility of its use in the treatment of certain diseases, as well as its economic and ecological function.

La zone de marnage du lac de Buyo est devenue le site d’intenses activités agricoles avec utilisation de pesticides pour optimiser la production. Une enquête socio-démographique des agriculteurs a été réalisée afin de prendre en compte l’âge, le genre, le niveau d’instruction, les encadrements, les équipements de protections individuelles (EPI) et les pesticides utilisés pour identifier des matières actives. Pour 323 producteurs enquêtés, les résultats révèlent que 35 % des hommes ont plus de 55 ans, 98% des femmes et 77% des hommes sont des non scolarisés. L’encadrement des paysans par les structures étatiques est très faible avec 71,21% d’agriculteurs non formés, ce qui explique le pourcentage de 26,32% de personnes utilisant les équipements de protections individuelles. Le risque de contamination sanitaire et environnemental est autant plus élevé en raison de la rémanance et la dangerosité des pesticides identifiés comme le Degesch (phosphure d’aluminium) considéré très dangereux (classe Ib) par l’OMS et ceux de la classe II et III . En effet les producteurs n’observent pas les bonnes pratiques phytosanitaires et cela aura pour conséquence la contamination de l’eau et des ressources aquatiques par les résidus de pesticides.

The Lake Buyo tidal zone has become the site of intense agricultural activities with the use of pesticides to optimize production. A socio-demographic survey of farmers was carried out to take into account age, gender, level of education, management, personal protective equipment (PPE), and pesticides used to identify active ingredients. For 323 producers surveyed, the results reveal that 35% of men are over 55 years old, 98% of women and 77% of men are uneducated. The supervision of farmers by state structures is very weak with 71.21% of farmers not trained, which explains the percentage of 26.32% of people using personal protective equipment. The risk of health and environmental contamination is even higher due to the persistence and dangerousness of pesticides identified as Degesch (aluminum phosphide) considered very dangerous (class Ib) by the WHO and those of class II and III. Indeed, producers do not observe good phytosanitary practices and this will result in the contamination of water and aquatic resources by pesticide residues.

Fish species composition and organization of the Bandama River at the scientific nature reserve of Lamto have been investigated for the first time. The study was conducted from March 2021 to February 2022. Gillnets and traps were used to collect fish. A total of 41 species belonging to 35 genera, 13 families, and 5 orders were captured. The best-represented orders were the Siluriformes with 5 families and 11 species and the Perciformes with 3 families and 14 species of fish. The Cichlidae, Mormyridae, and Alestidae represented the best diversified family with 13, 5, and 5 species respectively.
This study also showed a decrease in the average size of individuals of the main species retained, which could reflect overexploitation of the stocks. The Shannon index (2.21 bits/ind.) and equitability (0.58) values obtained reflect a more or less distribution of individuals by species. These results will make it possible to establish a database for the conservation of this fish population and its habitat.
Parcours d’Entrée en Vie Féconde et Recours à la Contraception Moderne chez les Femmes en Union en Afrique de l’Ouest
Authors: Bassinga Hervé , Barry Ousmane , Ouedraogo Sibiri Clément 
Published: July 2023

Nonobstant les nombreuses initiatives visant à faire progresser le recours à la planification familiale (PF) (sensibilisation, subvention et distribution à base communautaire des produits contraceptifs), la prévalence contraceptive moderne dans bon nombre de pays d’Afrique subsaharienne reste faible. En 2021, le taux de prévalence contraceptive moderne chez les femmes en union était de 32 % au Burkina Faso (INSD et DHS programme, 2021). Il était de 10,6% en Guinée et 16,4% au Mali en 2018 (EDS). Au vu de ces faibles prévalences, cet article vise à analyser l’utilisation d’une méthode moderne de planification familiale chez les femmes en union en conciliation avec leurs trajectoires d’entrée en vie féconde. Les données utilisées sont issues d’enquêtes démographiques et de santé (EDS) de périodes proches, de huit pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest. L’analyse a été à la fois descriptive (bivariée) et explicative (régression logistique). Les résultats mettent en lumière des inégalités socio-économiques, socioculturelles et générationnelles dans le recours à la contraception moderne chez les femmes en union. Ils révèlent également un effet d’habitus qui serait attribuable à leur parcours d’entrée en vie féconde. Ces résultats impliquent la nécessité de renforcer les actions de sensibilisation, de counseling, de suivi et de facilitation d’accès aux contraceptifs modernes, chez les jeunes hors union particulièrement issus des classes socio-économiques basses.

Despite numerous initiatives to increase the use of family planning (FP) (awareness, subsidies, and community-based distribution of contraceptives), modern contraceptive prevalence in many sub-Saharan African countries remains low. In 2021, the modern contraceptive prevalence rate among women in union was 32% in Burkina Faso (INSD and DHS program, 2021). It was 10.6% in Guinea and 16.4% in Mali in 2018 (DHS). In view of these low prevalences, this paper aims to analyze the use of a modern family planning method among women in union in conciliation with their fertility entry trajectories. The data used come from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) of closed periods, from eight countries in Western Africa. The analysis was both descriptive (bivariate) and explanatory (logistic regression). The results highlight socioeconomic, sociocultural and generational inequalities in the use of modern contraception among women in union. They also reveal a habitus effect that is attributable to their pathway to fertility. These results imply the need to reinforce awareness raising, counseling, follow-up and facilitation of access to modern contraceptives among young people out of union, particularly from low socio-economic classes.
Awareness, Attitude and Utilization of Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP): Critical Literature Review
Authors: Mohammed Abujaja Afishata 
Published: July 2023

The objectives of the study seek to review literature to establish the attitude, level of awareness and the extent of OFSP utilization. The study relied on secondary sources to synthesize and draw conclusions regarding the topic. The researcher reviewed a variety of documents and the data collected from previous published articles, journals, websites, original research papers and books to establish the awareness, attitude and utilization of OFSP. The review was supposed to offer important information regarding how widely used and known OFSP was. Evidence from the study showed that although most countries in the world were aware of OFSP's existence and nutritional advantages, the market for OFSP was not yet formally established. Most of the studies used emphasized that if OFSP is being processed into flour for making chips, biscuits, porridge, bread, drinks and other special forms of foods, consumers especially households would have accepted them to increase consumption. Socio-economic factors such as social class affect the level of utilization and preference patterns of the crop. Lack of storage facilities, lack of modern processing equipment and scarcity of OFSP vines had a great effect on its utilization. The study recommends that to increase agricultural value addition, OFSP farmers should be empowered through effective and efficient extension training on the usage of modern processing techniques. Also, OFSP should be processed into several foods for alternative income sourcing. Finally, it is recommended that future studies be conducted on consumers’ willingness to pay for value-added products made from OFSP.

Published: July 2023

Aim: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer leading to death among women worldwide. Despite the advances in the diagnosis skills and in the treatment of breast cancer, it has been observed that the recurrence rate experienced by breast cancer patients is quite high. Many plants have been reported to have anti-breast cancer properties. This paper focuses on determining the role of phytotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer.
Methods: The following key search terms were used on Pubmed, Google scholar, and Researchgate: breast cancer, breast cancer cell lines, phytotherapy, medicinal plants in the treatment of breast cancer, treatment of breast cancer, cytotoxics effects of plant extracts on breast cancer in vitro/ in vivo, integrative oncology, and natural products as sources of drugs. Pertinent reviews in English language were examined.
Results: It has been observed that many studies were conducted in vitro and in vivo to demonstrate the anti-breast cancer activities of a myriad of plants. While investigations are being made to prove the anti-breast cancer effects of many plants, the use of phytomedicine is not generating enough attention by mainstream practitioners. Some significant results were observed by patients with breast cancer history through the combination of phytotherapy and conventional medicines.
Discussion: The conventional treatment of breast cancer is often accompanied with side effects. Many patients in low-income countries are faced off with the enormous cost of conventional treatment. Hence, there is a need to search for new bioactive substances in the treatments of breast cancer. Phytotherapy is a promising approach and herbal preparations are to be used in the same way as conventional medicine in the treatment of breast cancer.
Conclusion: Phytotherapeutics products are used more often in the treatment of breast cancer as adjuvant therapy. In Africa, the use of herbal products in the treatment of breast cancer still remains in the hands of traditional-practitioners, without any control of quality and efficacy. Standard methods for the preparation of herbal products are to be determined in order to adopt phytotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer as much as conventional treatment.

Published: July 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, dental care was recommended only in urgent and severe pain cases. Reduced dental appointments may affect the financial situation of dentists, especially those who are not financially secure. Due to economic necessity, dentists are required to provide care despite the risk of being infected with SARS-COV-2. Objective: To describe the frequency of dental care and the risk of complications due to COVID-19 among dentists in Ixtlahuaca, State of Mexico, Mexico. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study, non-probabilistic sampling carried out from August to September 2020. A survey was carried out through social networks to identify thefrequency of dental care. Results: The sample consisted of 121 dentists with an average age of 32.3 years. Women comprised most of the sample (74.4%). Dentists had a medium risk of suffering complications due to COVID-19 (92.5%). Private practice dentists performed more non-urgent treatments during the red and orange epidemiological risk periods, showing statistically significant differences (p≤0.05). Unhealthy weight was present in 30% of the sample. Conclusions: Dentists have a medium risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19. The risk is associated with unhealthy weight. Dentists performed non-urgent treatments despite government recommendations. Privatepractitioners performed a greater number of non-urgent treatments. Dentists provide care despite epidemiological risk related to COVID-19 due to economic necessity.
Teleodontología: una definición por esclarecer. Revisión de la literatura
Authors: Tasayco-Torbisco Gaby L. , Condor Camara Daniel F. 
Published: July 2023

La teleodontología ha tenido una rápida adopción, lo que ha evidenciado una falta de consenso en su definición y uso del término. Las definiciones existentes permiten comprender sus aplicaciones, pero carecen de claridad en lo que respecta a su marco conceptual, lo que limita su implementación en el ejercicio profesional. Por ello, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en la base de datos de PubMed y en el buscador web de Google para recopilar las definiciones accesibles de la teleodontología, encontrándose 63 definiciones que la incluían dentro de los dominios de la e-salud, la telesalud y la telemedicina. Aunque la mayoría incluyó a la teleodontología dentro de la telemedicina, los alcances expresados en sus definiciones reflejan que esta no se limita a la atención propiamente del paciente, por lo que es necesario delimitar los conceptos y las diferencias entre los dominios de la salud electrónica para una mejor comprensión del término.
PUEBLA – 40 ANOS: Resistência e Colegialidade Sinodal na América Latina
Authors: Souza Alzirinha Rocha de 
Published: July 2023

Em 2019, celebramos os quarenta anos da III Conferência Geral do CELAM, realizada em Puebla de los Ángeles, em 1979. A importância dessa conferência se dá não só pelo seu conteúdo, mas pelo esforço colegial por parte de seus participantes em guardar as direções dadas por Medellín para a Evangelização em América Latina. Puebla ganha sua importância porque soube guardar em um ambiente adverso, a linha teológica e pastoral com a conferência precedente de Medellín, relevando a força da colegialidade dos Bispos latinoamericanos. É o que temos por objetivo apresentar neste artigo: através de aspectos históricos e teológicos os pontos fundamentais que constituiram a expressão da colegialidade sinodal nessas duas conferências, tendo como elemento essencial a tomada de consciência de uma identidade própria da Igreja no continente latino-americano.Palavras-chave: Colegialidade, Medellín, Puebla, Pastoral, Evangelização.
A influência do Sínodo da Amazônia na mudança de paradigma ético-ambiental da Igreja Católica
Authors: Sad Serenato Matheus , Bueno Fogaça Vitor Hugo 
Published: July 2023

A igreja católica hoje desponta como uma forte defensora de um direito ao meio ambiente equilibrado, estabelecendo em sua doutrina uma diretriz ética que integra com as novas concepções éticas do meio ambiente. Problematiza-se, a partir do desenvolvimento histórico e doutrinário, em que medida a Igreja Católica por meio do Sínodo da Amazônia, compreende as suas bases doutrinárias para integrar o meio ambiente às suas diretrizes éticas. O objetivo geral é identificar as bases doutrinárias que lvaram a igreja a percepção do reconhecidomento do meio ambiente.Dessa forma demonstra-se como a igreja propõe mudança no sistema ético atual, bem como uma reformulação de sua vertente ética histórica. Evidencia-se na pesquisa que há uma mudança no paradigma ético adotado pela instituição, bem como o reconhecimento de escolhas que não compactuam com a doutrina no contexto histórico. O trabalho conclui, que a igreja propõe a reflexão da ética ambiental. Consequentemente, há uma nova proposta de paradigma na teologia que influência as doutrinas eclesiásticas. Do ponto de vista metodológico, trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the physiological response of female beef cattle to peatland microclimate stress in Central Kalimantan. This study used direct observation on small holder beef cattle farm. Microclimate data on 41 units cattle barns and physiological parameters of female cattle were collected in the morning, at noon and in the afternoon. The physiological parameter measurements involved 215 female beef cattle, consisting of 119 Bali and 96 crossbred cattle with different physiological stages including pregnant cows, lactating cows, dry cows, heifers and calves. The microclimate condition within cattle barns on peatland of Central Kalimantan is not the comfort zone for beef cattle. It is characterized by high air temperature and relative humidity, and low wind speed, which result in high temperature humidity index (THI). The barn with gable roof type and asbestos materials gave the lowest THI. This Microclimate caused heat stress to beef cattle reared on the peatlands, indicated by the high rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and heat tolerance coefficient, although it was still categorized as mild to moderate stress. Bali cattle showed better physiological responses to microclimate stress than crossbred cattle. Pregnant crossbred cows were the most susceptible to peatland microclimate stress.
The Effect of Parental Absence on Children’s Literacy Development: A Case Study of a Fourth-Grade Elementary School Student
Authors: Mulyani Petra Kristi 
Published: July 2023

The research analyzed the parental role in the literacy development of a fourth-grade Midwestern elementary school student in the United States of America. The subject selection was based on the beginning of the year assessment, which showed an early second-grade literacy level. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with the homeroom teacher, reading specialist, and the subject for one semester. The observation notes, and interview transcriptions were coded. The four emerging themes were the subject’s literacy level, parental background, the caregiver’s literacy belief and behavior, the home literacy environment, and the subject’s literacy interest. The analysis showed that parental absence affected the subject’s lack of motivation in facing academic challenges and literacy difficulties. Low motivation led to low academic achievements, including literacy. The caregiver, which was the grandfather, did not display his parental role in reinforcing the subject’s literacy. A home literacy-rich environment was not created. The caregiver did not expose the subject to literacy-related activities at home. Meaningful conversation on literacy activities and achievements was not made between the caregiver and the subject, which was suggested to be the factor that caused the subject’s difficulties in processing and delivering information. The limited parental support by the caregiver on the subject’s literacy activities and resources was analyzed to be the instrumental factor that caused the subject’s difficulties in reading and writing.
