Les épidémies de diarrhées aigües sporadiques restent préoccupantes dans des milieux vulnérables comme un orphelinat. L'objectif du présent travail était de déterminer l’agent causal de l’épidémie de diarrhée aigüe sanglante qui s’est déclarée chez 143 enfants de 6 mois à 15 ans d’un orphelinat de la ville de N’zérékoré. Selon une liste établie par le responsable de l’orphelinat, une analyse systématique et biologique des selles par la Réaction en Chaine par polymérase a été effectuée pour détecter l’ADN des germes communément impliqués dans des toxi-infections alimentaires. Les données ont été traitées avec le logiciel Bio statGV en ligne. Les résultats ont révélé 27% de positivité en ADN d’Escherichia coli O157-H7 dont 16,78% positifs chez les garçons contre 10,5% positifs chez les filles. A part la tranche d’âge de 6 mois à 4 ans, présentant 6% de positivité, toutes les 3 autres tranches d’âge se valent, chacune à 7% de positivité. Dix-sept (17%) de positivité en ADN de Campylobacter spp ont été détectées, dont 5,6% positifs chez les garçons contre 11,2% chez les filles. Aussi, 6,2% de co-infection E. coli O157 :H7 et Campylobacter ssp ont été détectées. E. coli O157 :H7, et les Campylobacter spp étaient donc les responsables de l’épidémie à l’orphelinat.

English title: Etiology of an epidemic of diarrhea in children of an orphanage in the city of N'Zérékoré, Republic of Guinea
Epidemics of sporadic acute diarrhea remain a concern in vulnerable environments such as an orphanage. The objective of this work was to determine the causative agent of the bloody acute diarrhea epidemic which broke out in 143 children aged 6 months to 15 years from an orphanage in the city of N'zérékoré. According to a list drawn up by the head of the orphanage, a systematic and biological analysis of the stools by the Polymerase Chain Reaction was carried out to detect germs commonly involved in food poisoning. Data were processed with the online Bio statGV software. The results revealed 27% positivity in Escherichia coli O157-H7 DNA, including 16.78% positive in boys against 10.5% positive in girls. Apart from the age group from 6 months to 4 years, with 6% positivity, all the other 3 age groups are equal, each at 7% positivity. Seventeen (17%) DNA positivity of Campylobacter spp was detected, including 5.6% positive in boys against 11.2% in girls. Also, 6.2% of E. coli O157:H7 and Campylobacter ssp co-infection were detected. E. coli O157:H7 and Campylobacter spp were therefore responsible for the epidemic at the orphanage.

Au sahel, la production laitière varie selon la disponibilité des pâturages et cela nécessite des mesures d’adaptation. La présente étude conduite dans la zone sahélienne du Burkina Faso a eu pour objectif d’évaluer l’effet de la supplémentation des vaches de race zébu peulh en saison sèche avec du fourrage de cultures de variétés améliorées à double objectif sur leur production laitière. Pour ce faire, vingt vaches ont été réparties en quatre traitements pour recevoir en plus du pâturage, une complémentation composée de 1,5 kg tourteaux de coton et de 2 kg de fourrage qui étaient soit des fanes de niébé de variété améliorée (lot FNA), des fanes de niébé de variété locale (lot FNL), de la paille de sorgho de variété améliorée (lot PSA) ou de la paille de sorgho de variété locale (lot PSL). Un lot de cinq vaches, alimentées selon les pratiques paysannes, a servi de témoin. La production moyenne de lait trait par vache a été de 1,63 kg/j pour le lot FNA, 1,21 kg/j pour celle du lot FNL, 1,02 kg/j pour celle du lot PSA et 0,95 kg/j pour celle du lot PSL. La production moyenne de lait trait du lot FNA a été supérieure à celle du lot PSL (p < 0,05). Les veaux des vaches du lot FNA ont eu un gain moyen quotidien significativement plus important (669 g/j) que ceux du lot FNL (356 g/j) et ceux du lot PSL (412 g/j). L’utilisation adéquate des fourrages de ces deux variétés améliorées constitue un moyen d’accroître la production laitière des vaches en saison sèche.
Exploring the geometry of miniaturized Archimedean SPIRAL Antennas for small and portable multitask devices
Authors: Adenodi R.A. 
Published: August 2023

The focus of miniaturization is the production of small and portable devices that can be carried in the pocket anywhere and anytime. Small and portable devices that perform multitask such the smartphone requires a portable and efficient antenna that operates in many frequency bands. A single planar miniaturized Archimedean spiral antenna, which operates in a frequency range that is determined by its inner and outer radii of its arc, has been adjourned to be a better candidate for these multiple tasks. This study examined the geometry of a miniaturized Archimedean spiral antenna of varying turns. An inner radius of 4.90 mm and a thickness of 0.0356 mm suitable for the printed antenna were previously chosen for the study. The length of the arc and the outer radius were determined for spiral turns ranging from 0.5 to 100 with an incremental step of 0.5. Results revealed the radial distance generating the spiral, the length of its arc, the outer radius, and the surface area were 4.97 mm, 2 15.51 mm, 4.97 mm and 77.16 mm for 0.5 spiral turns, and 19.12 mm, 7,546.80 mm, 2,849.33 mm and 1,148.64 2 mm for 100 spiral turns. Based on the outer radii, the frequency range of operation will be between 16.76 MHz and 9.60 GHz. The mathematical functions formulated through curve fitting described the relationship between the outer radius and arc length with a power function and the number of turns and frequency with an exponential function, while arc length and radial distance, area and number of turns, and area and pitch angle are described by polynomial functions. It is recommended that further analysis on the geometry of the minimized Archimedean spiral antenna be conducted.

An azo dye, (E)-4-((4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)diazenyl)-2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol (L1), was prepared by the reaction of 5-methyl- 2-(propan-2-yl)phenol with the diazonium salt of 2-amino-4,5-dimethylthiazole. Characterization was carried out using proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Coordination compounds of L1 with Mn(III), Fe(III) and Co(III) in a 1:2 metal to ligand mole ratio were subsequently synthesized. Corresponding mixed ligand complexes were also synthesized using 2- hydroxybenzoic acid (L2) as the secondary ligand. The coordination compounds were characterized by electronic and infrared spectrophotoscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and percent metal composition. Subsequently, in silicostudies were performed based on the proposed structures of the synthesized compounds to determine their binding affinity and binding site with calf thymus DNA. The results obtained showed that all complexes achieved octahedral geometry. The results also showed that some of the compounds had better affinity for CT-DNA than the standard.

Background:Herbal therapies mediate similar functions with those of some well-known drugs. Ginger and aspirin are herbal and drug therapies respectively which are used for the treatment of anti-inflammatory conditions. Non-steroidal medicinal drugs especially aspirin and acetaminophen are usually linked to drug-induced liver injury. Therefore, this research seeks to compare the effect of these two therapies on liver function using aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as the biomarkers. The aim of the study was to establish if ginger will offer a better hepatocellular protection considering that the use of aspirin in treating inflammatory disorders is already linked to liver injury.
Methods: AST, ALT, ALP, Total, conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin were assessed in this study using 18 Wistar rats. The animals were divided into three groups (control, ginger and aspirin), six (6) rats per group. The three groups of animals were allowed access to food and water daily throughout the experimental period. Ginger group animals were administered 150 mg/kg dose of aqueous ginger extract while aspirin group of animals also received 150 mg/kg dose of aspirin for four weeks. Control group received normal saline of equal volume with the test groups.
Results: AST, ALT, total and conjugated bilirubin was significantly lower in ginger group compared to aspirin and the control group (P<0.05). However, ALP was significantly higher in ginger group compared to aspirin and the control group (P<0.05). Unconjugated bilirubin showed no significant difference among experimental groups.
Conclusion: Result showed that ginger offered a better hepatocellular protection compared to aspirin group following decrease AST and ALT concentration in the ginger group.
La deriva estandarditzadora valenciana. Del secessionisme rupturista a l'aïllacionisme particularista
Authors: Pradilla Cardona Miquel Àngel 
Published: August 2023

The Valencian linguistic conflict in a sociolinguistic context marked by the – structural and social – penetration of the Spanish language and by disconcerning symptoms of linguistic substitution, becomes a politicosocial battle in which ideologic strategies lead to all kinds of statements. So the linguistic philological and sociolinguistic approaches prove insufficient on evaluating the formal care of the language and the slowing down – if not inversion – of its functional dismantling. This contribution aims at positioning the Valencian standardisation process, that is supervised by the Valencian Language Academy (Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua), in the context of ideologically interpreting a disagreement that hardly allows for the establishment of a consensual codification.
Joan F. Mira als Übersetzer des Neuen Testaments
Authors: Fidora Alexander 
Published: August 2023

Not only is Joan F. Mira one of the most outstanding Catalan novelists of our times, but also he has enriched Catalan literature with several translations, such as that of the Divine Comedy and, more recently, that of the New Testament. The present paper is a reflection on this latter translation, which, beyond any doubt, has to be considered a Herculean feat. Using the prin ciples of translation which Mira declares at the beginning of his book as our starting point, we offer a critical analysis of how these principles have been applied in the process of translation, comparing Mira’s text with the Greek original. The outcome is surprising: Although Mira does not apply his principles in a coherent fashion, he succeeds in giving his readers a new, vigorous and expressive version of the text, which is, in many respects, exemplary.
Keywords: Bible, New Testament, biblical translation, Joan F. Mira.
Tradició i modernitat en el llenguatge dels llibrets de falla de les primeres dècades del segle XX
Authors: Martí Mestre Joaquim 
Published: August 2023

Summary: During the first quarter of the 20th century, Valencian writers showed increasing interest in developing a correct orthographical and linguistic model, free from castilianisms, both for formal literature and for popular genres. Traditionally, researchers have insisted mostly on the orthographical influence from the Spanish language in the Fallas books. The researchers thought that even the authors of the Catalan formal literature, when writing the Fallas texts, adopted the Spanish orthographic model. With this work we find, however, that many writers of Fallas books, some engaged in other Valencian literary and cultural activities, were striving to use also in the Fallas books a correct language. The Fallas books, because of the popular character of the genre, are of great lexicographical interest for the study of colloquialisms, dialectalisms and neologisms linked to the social changes of the 20th century. Also, because traditionally they have not been taken into account by lexicographers, the Fallas books offer words and meanings not registered in the historical and etymological dictionaries. Keywords: orthography, lexicon, 20th century, Fallas books, history of the Catalan language

Ensuring the quality of atmospheric air on main streets and in residential buildings by means of planning and landscaping
Authors: Balakin Vladimir V. , Aleksikov Sergei V. , Azarov Valeri N. 
Published: August 2023

Introduction. The level of concentration of toxic substances in the atmospheric air of main streets is largely determined by their aeration regime, established due to exposure to air flow of buildings and green spaces. Therefore, when developing master plans of cities and projects of detailed planning of residential formations to ensure hygienic standards for the expected content of emissions of motor transport in the air of transport communications and adjacent residential buildings, the influence of urban factors on wind speed and direction one should take into account.
The aim of the study is the justification and selection of urban planning measures to reduce atmospheric air pollution from main roads and streets by exhaust gases of motor transport.
Material and methods. Full-scale surveys of transport infrastructure facilities in large cities and modelling of the processes of dispersion of exhaust gases of cars in the air using models of residential buildings and green spaces.
Results. The regularities of the formation of the aeration regime of city streets and the dispersion of car emissions behind the landscaping strips and in residential buildings have been established. Optimal variants of planning, development and landscaping of main streets have been determined, ensuring the reduction of gas contamination of pedestrian zones, public spaces and residential areas.
Limitations. The choice of landscaping objects for urban roads and streets for field observations and modelling of car emissions dispersion processes is limited to strips of green spaces of a blown and dense construction, without taking into account the peculiarities of the transformation of the air flow and reducing gas pollution under the influence of landscaping strips of an openwork design.
Conclusions. Reduction of gas pollution of main roads and streets is ensured by choosing the direction of the route and planning, and building techniques. At the same time, it is necessary to use environmental protection linear-strip landscaping facilities of optimal design. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that frontal multi-sectional buildings and strips of green spaces of windproof dense construction stimulate the appearance of stable vortices with a closed circulation of impurities in street canyons and on sections of highways. When choosing urban planning solutions to ensure the quality of atmospheric air of transport communications and adjacent residential buildings in various landscape and climatic conditions, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the tasks arising in this case to regulate the aeration regime and reclamation of the microclimate as a whole.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. To prevent cardiovascular accidents and preserve the employability in workers in the pivotal occupations of the coal and aluminum industries it is required timely identification of risk groups for long-term asymptomatic damage to the atherosclerotic process of the arteries.
Material and methods. The study included two hundred twenty two miners and 109 workers in the aluminum industry aged of 40–55 years (average age of miners – 47.1 ± 0.36 years, metallurgists – 47.64 ± 0.43 years, р = 0.367). All subjects underwent ultrasound investigation of the carotid and femoral arteries. Also anamnestic, anthropometric data, the presence of arterial hypertension, indices of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated.
Results. Miners were more often diagnosed with intimal thickening (41.9% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.011), in contrast to aluminum production workers, who were significantly more likely to have atherosclerotic plaques (57.8% vs. 43.2%, p = 0.0127). The frequency of generally accepted risk factors for atherosclerosis in both occupational cohorts (arterial hypertension, smoking, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, physical inactivity, obesity) was detected without significant differences. Miners with atherosclerosis were diagnosed with significantly higher average values of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, metallurgists with atherosclerosis showed hypertriglyceridemia.
Limitations. The study was limited by the number of the examined persons undergoing periodic medical examination at the Research Institute for Complex Problems of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases.
Conclusion. A more significant lesion of the main arteries in the form of atherosclerotic plaques with varying degrees of stenosis was found in aluminum production workers compared to miners, which was probably due to the more aggressive influence of harmful production factors in metallurgists. In this regard, it is recommended to conduct a screening ultrasound investigation of the main arteries at a periodic medical examination, which will identify a risk group for the timely prevention of cardiovascular complications.

Published: August 2023

Ethiopia's growing population, urbanization, and booming construction industries are all factors in the country's rising demand for wood products. The country's current plantations are inadequate to meet the demand for wood products. The country only exports a small amount of wood, accounting for about 1.45% of all imports, while importing over 3 million m3 round wood equivalent (RWE), amounting to about USD 182.53 million. This showed that there is a large gap between import and export bills, which indicates a negative trade balance. The goal of this study is to examine supply patterns as well as existing and prospective demand for wood products, particularly industrial wood and wood fuel. First, a collection of all relevant documents indicating supply and demand was done. Then, two groups were created out of official records and study papers. Literature that is pertinent and related to the topic was chosen from among the groups. Different publications between 2010 and 2022 a total of 37 were utilized for this review. It was found that Ethiopia consumes more than 130 million m3/year of round wood equivalent, of which about 92.3% is used as wood fuel and the remaining is used to produce industrial goods with added value. Nowadays, imports provide a significant amount of Ethiopia's wood demand, and in 2015 alone, more than 30% of industrial needs were satisfied by imports. The review helps in determining the resource potential, supply-demand imbalance, and current level of demand for wood products.
