« Projet de formation » : accompagner vers la réussite universitaire et l’insertion professionnelle
Authors: De Clercq Mikaël , Leroy Véronique , Stinglhamber Florence , Frenay Mariane 
Published: June 2022

Les processus de transition et d’adaptation au monde universitaire, ainsi que l’orientation vers le monde professionnel constituent des défis majeurs pour les étudiants universitaires. Face à cette problématique, de nombreux dispositifs de soutien ont été proposés par les universités. Cependant, leur impact n’a pas souvent été évalué. L’objet de cette recherche vise précisément à présenter les résultats de l’évaluation d’un dispositif de soutien au projet d’études et au projet d’insertion socioprofessionnelle : le dispositif « Projet de formation ». Cette évaluation a été réalisée auprès de deux cohortes d’étudiants, à trois ans d’intervalle, selon trois niveaux d’analyses, inspirés du modèle d’évaluation de Kirkpatrick et Kirkpatrick. Les résultats de cette étude montrent une amélioration significative des bénéfices perçus du dispositif ainsi qu’une augmentation rapportée du transfert des compétences acquises. Après avoir situé les limites de notre étude, nous évoquons quelques perspectives au regard de l’approche évaluative employée.
Les croyances des étudiants sur la nature de leur intelligence : un facteur de participation dans des dispositifs d’aide à la réussite?

Published: June 2022

Depuis plusieurs années, les universités proposent de nombreux dispositifs d’aide à destination des primo-étudiants pour favoriser leur réussite. Ces dispositifs ne parviennent pas toujours à atteindre les étudiants qui éprouvent le plus de difficultés dans leur apprentissage. C’est le cas du dispositif d’aide à la réussite dont il est question dans cet article qui vise à remédier au manque de maitrise des prérequis des primo-arrivants à l’université alors que Vieillevoye et al. (2012) ont mis en évidence une corrélation entre la maitrise de ceux-ci et la réussite en fin d’année. La maitrise des prérequis est ici évaluée à l’aide de tests (appelés « Passeports pour le bac »). L’objectif de cet article est de tenter de comprendre pourquoi certains étudiants ne participent pas aux séances de renforcement des prérequis testés alors qu’ils ont reçu un feedback les informant du manque de maitrise de prérequis. Notre hypothèse est que les travaux de Dweck (2010) concernant les liens entre « l’état d’esprit » (croyances des individus qu’ils ont à propos de leur intelligence) et leur attitude face à l’échec en termes d’engagement dans des activités de remédiation pourraient apporter des éléments de compréhension à ce faible taux de participation des étudiants. Dès lors, la présente étude vise à investiguer d’abord l’état d’esprit des étudiants à l’entame de leurs études universitaires pour analyser ensuite une éventuelle relation entre cet état d’esprit et l’importance qu’ils accordent aux prérequis et à la nécessité (ainsi qu’à la possibilité) de combler d’éventuelles lacunes. Les résultats présentés sont issus d’un questionnaire soumis à une large population : 1 585 primo-étudiants issus de l’Université de Namur et de l’Université Saint-Louis de Bruxelles. Ces résultats sont complémentairement analysés à la lumière de quelques entretiens qualitatifs menés par la suite.
Un modèle de co-construction de l’évaluation des projets d’établissements d’aide à la réussite étudiante
Authors: Paivandi Saeed , Perret Cathy 
Published: June 2022

Cet article rend compte d’une expérience d’évaluation d’un projet pédagogique porté à l’échelle d’une université dans le cadre d’un appel d’offre national français (IDEFI). Il s’agit de la présentation analytique de la démarche mise en place, des outils construits et des résultats obtenus à travers d’une approche de co-évaluation. La démarche d’évaluation du projet IDEFI, composé de plusieurs actions, comprend une phase exploratoire, une phase d’évaluation critique « négociée » et une phase de co-construction d’un outil d’évaluation adapté à chaque action. Avec la mise en place d’une co-évaluation, les expert-évaluateurs externes ont tenté de transformer les acteurs impliqués dans le projet en partenaires et de procéder à une confrontation des analyses externes et internes en vue de rechercher la signification la plus complète des résultats de l’évaluation. La lecture critique de cette expérience permet de discuter de l’intérêt du recours à la co-évaluation comme un acte formateur et formatif et un espace de dialogue critique entre acteurs impliqués dans les actions d’innovations pédagogiques, les décideurs institutionnels et experts-chercheurs externes. Le parti pris de cette expérimentation a été d’améliorer l’acceptabilité de l’évaluation et de contribuer au développement d’une culture d’évaluation au sein de l’institution.

“Questo lavoro descrive il caso di un trapianto di rene fra due gemelli. L’intervento ha avuto successo. La funzione del rene trapiantato è buona". Sono le prime due righe di un vecchio articolo su “Surgical Forum”. L’intervento era stato fatto a Boston, da Joseph Murray, due giorni prima di Natale del 1954. Da allora di trapianti ne sono stati fatti, al mondo, più di un milione, (più di 600.000 di rene).
Perceptions of nurses on occupational health hazards and safety practices in Ditsobotla public hospitals in North West province
Authors: Denge Takalani , Rakhudu Mahlasela 
Published: June 2022

Background: Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system. During the fulfilment of their duties and responsibilities, they experience various types of work-related risks, which harmfully affect their health and nursing quality.Objectives: This study aimed to explore and describe perceptions of nurses on occupational health hazards and safety practices in Ditsobotla public hospitals of North West province.Method: An exploratory, descriptive, qualitative research design was undertaken in this study. An explorative design allowed the researcher to identify key issues regarding nurses’ perceptions on occupational health hazards and safety practices using Donabedian structure, process and outcome. A total of 15 nurses of different categories participated in the study that formed four focus group discussions. Semi-structured focus group discussions of three to four participants were conducted until data saturation is obtained and at the point where no new themes from participants’ perceptions emerged. Creswell and Clark framework of data analysis was used to analyse data.Results: Three major categories emerged during data analysis: nurse’s perception on occupational health hazards in the health settings, Donabedian framework on assessing the quality of care in relation to occupational health hazards and occupational health and safety (OHS) practices. Eight themes were identified.Conclusion: Nurses’ perceived different occupational hazards that affect their normal duties and responsibility in the workplace. Future interventions such as training and education on OHS policy should be adopted to promote health and well-being of the staff.

Authors: Modi Bhadrashil H. , Pretorius Deidré , Francis Joel M. 
Published: June 2022

Background: South Africa is aiming to achieve herd immunity against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the first quarter of 2022. The success of the COVID-19 vaccination roll-out depends primarily on the willingness of the population to take the vaccines.Aim: This study aimed to examine the willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine, along with the factors of concern, efficacy and preferences of the individual, which may increase the willingness to be vaccinated.Setting: This study was conducted at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, amongst adult students and academic and professional staff.Methods: A cross-sectional online survey from 27 July 2021 to 14 August 2021 was conducted. We performed descriptive and inferential analysis to determine the factors associated with willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine.Results: A total of 2364 participants responded to a survey link and 82.0% were students, 66.8% were in the 18–29 years age band and females represented 64.0%. A total of 1965 participants (83.3%) were willing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, the most preferred vaccines were Pfizer (41%) and JJ (23%), local pharmacy (29%) and General Practitioner (GP) (17%) were the preferred places for vaccination and the trusted sources of information on COVID-19 vaccines were the general practitioners (40.6%) and specialists (19.2%). Perceptions that vaccines are safe (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 31.56, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 16.02–62.12 for affirmative agreement) and effective (aOR = 5.92, 95% CI: 2.87–12.19 for affirmative agreement) were the main determinants of willingness to taking a COVID-19 vaccine.Conclusion: It is imperative to reinforce the message of COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy and to include the GPs and the community pharmacies in the vaccination roll-out in South Africa.
A framework for closed-loop supply chain adoption by small, medium and micro enterprise fashion retailers in South Africa
Authors: Muhwati Chenai , Salisbury Roger H. 
Published: June 2022

Background: The implementation of closed-loop supply chain strategies is increasing as the focus grows on the sustainability challenges of the fashion industry. However, their implementation is more widely adopted and researched from the perspectives of larger retailers in developed economies outside of Africa, limiting the widespread applicability of their findings to stakeholders in developing countries such as South Africa.Aim: The study explored and proposed a decision support framework for the potential coordination of closed-loop supply chain strategies by small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) fashion retailers in South Africa.Setting: This research study was conducted in South Africa with stakeholders in the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and Limpopo provinces.Methods: This descriptive, qualitative research approach used purposive sampling, in the form of judgment sampling, to select 14 participants. The interviews were then transcribed and transferred to Nvivo™ software to identify and analyse themes within the data.Results: The findings revealed that while some SMMEs would consider or were already considering adopting closed-loop strategies, various challenges and limitations existed related to the sizes of their businesses, their restricted relationships with supply chain stakeholders and their operation in an African developing country. A decision support framework was established, which considers this context and could aid in the implementation of circular strategies by such retailers.Conclusion: Despite resource limitations, opportunities exist for SMME retailers to adopt closed-loop supply chains and become globally competitive, following international focus on accountability and sustainable consumption. The decision support framework is suitable for such stakeholders to facilitate collaborative efforts towards achieving end-to-end sustainability.
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in vertically acquired HIV and epidermodysplasia verruciformis
Authors: Mandikiyana Chirimuta Linda A. , Ndowa Francis J. , Pascoe Margaret J. 
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a skin disorder that has been described in individuals with perinatally acquired HIV. Many cases have been identified in sub-Saharan Africa in keeping with the epidemiology of HIV infection compared to the rest of the world, where cases are rare. Epidermodysplasia verruciformis skin lesions may undergo malignant transformation. There are few documented cases of malignant transformation of these skin lesions. We describe a patient with an EV-like skin rash who developed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Patient presentation: A 25-year-old man, on antiretroviral treatment for 12 years, presented with a generalised skin rash since the age of 11 years, and a 7-month history of a persistent scalp ulcer. He had no history of trauma, radiation or other chronic conditions. Despite an undetectable HIV viral load, he had failed to immune reconstitute (CD4 42 cells/µL). Physical examination revealed a generalised hypopigmented, papular skin rash resembling verruca plana and a 3 cm × 3 cm ulcer with rolled edges on the right parietal region of the scalp. There were no palpable lymph nodes in the head and neck areas. Biopsy of the ulcer revealed moderately differentiated SCC.Management and outcome: Wide local excision of the lesion was done under local anaesthesia and histological analysis confirmed completely excised moderately differentiated SCC. Further examination four weeks later revealed two, smaller, histologically similar scalp lesions which were completely excised.Conclusion: Patients with acquired EV require thorough, frequent examination for skin lesions with possible malignant transformation. Early identification of malignant transformation and treatment with surgical intervention is curative.
Clinical Presentations of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria as Suspected and Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Authors: Das Sivasankar , Mishra Baijayantimala , Mohapatra Prasanta Raghab , Preetam Chappity , Rath Sutapa 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are on the rise worldwide. The diagnosis and treatment of NTM disease create a dilemma for physicians as their clinical features often overlap with that of tuberculosis (TB). The present study aims to report a series of NTM infections presenting as suspected TB.

Methods:
It was a prospective observational study starting from December 2018 to January 2022

.
A total of 1850 suspected TB patients (pulmonary = 522 and extrapulmonary = 1328) were included in this study. Clinical features, radiological findings, microbiological diagnosis, treatment, and outcome were recorded. Clinical specimens were processed for Ziehl–Neelsen staining, GeneXpert MTB/Rif assay by cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test, and culture. The culture-positive isolates were categorized as Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex or NTM depending on the detection of MPT64 antigen by immunochromatographic test. The NTM isolates were speciated by line probe assay using GenoType® Mycobacterium common mycobacteria kit. The criteria of the American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America were applied to confirm NTM disease.

Results:
Of 1850 suspected TB patients, NTM disease was diagnosed in 20 patients (pulmonary = 9, nonpulmonary = 11). Eight NTM cases presented as suspected drug-resistant-TB with a history of antitubercular therapy. Among pulmonary NTM cases, Mycobacterium scrofulaceum (n = 7) was the most common species followed by Mycobacterium kansasii (n = 1) and Mycobacterium intracellulare (n = 1). In nonpulmonary cases, Mycobacterium abscessus (n = 8) was involved in majority of cases followed by Mycobacterium fortuitum (n = 3). Cavitary lung disease and laparoscopic port site infections were most frequent pulmonary and non-pulmonary manifestations respectively.

Conclusion:
Hence, there is an urgent need for better diagnostic and drug susceptibility testing facility along with standardized treatment protocol for NTM disease.
A Neutrophil-based Test as an Auxiliary Tool for Substantiating the Diagnosis of Bovine Tuberculosis
Authors: Rojas-Espinosa Oscar , Beristain-Cornelio Guadalupe , Santillán-Flores Marco Antonio , Arce-Paredes Patricia , Islas-Trujillo Sergio , Rivero-Silva Miguel Ángel 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is still a prominent threat to animal health; lacking an efficient vaccine, other than BCG to get rid of tuberculosis, the most effective way for this is culling and slaughtering the infected animals. There are several cellular, serological, and molecular tests for the diagnosis of the disease but the most practical one at the field level is the double skin testing with bovine and aviary tuberculins. This is not a very specific test but is sensitive enough to identify most diseased animals; adjunct practical tests are desirable to strengthen the utility of skin tests. All lymphoid and myeloid cells participate, in diverse grades, in the immune response to tuberculosis with neutrophils playing an unintended pathologic role. The study aimed to investigate the response of neutrophils to agents present in the sera of tuberculous cows.

Methods:
We have developed a neutrophil-based test (N BT) to identify diseased cows within a herd suspected of having tuberculosis; a positive N BT correlates with a positive double skin test. In this test, healthy neutrophils are incubated with the sera of healthy or tuberculous cows for 3 and 6 h, and the nuclear morphologic changes are recorded and analyzed.

Results:
Sera from tuberculous but not from healthy cows induce nuclear alterations including pyknosis, swelling, apoptosis, and sometimes NETosis, in healthy neutrophils, and CFP 10 and ESAT 6 participate in the phenomenon.

Conclusion:
We propose the N BT as an auxiliary tool for substantiating the diagnosis of bTB reinforcing the PPD test outcome to help decide whether or not a cow should be sacrificed.
Comparison of intraarticular injection of platelet-rich plasma following arthrocentesis, with sodium hyaluronate and conventional arthrocentesis for management of internal derangement of temporomandibular joint
Authors: Ramakrishnan Divya Sanjeevi , Kandamani Janani , Senthil Nathan K. P. 
Published: June 2022

Aim:
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the management of internal derangement of temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Settings and Design:
Thirty-three patients were selected from the pool of patients visiting the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Simple randomization was done.

Subjects and Methods:
Patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction (DDWOR) were indicated for arthrocentesis. Group A patients are treated with PRP, Group B patients with sodium hyaluronate following arthrocentesis, and Group C patients were treated with arthrocentesis alone. Postoperative pain and maximal incisal opening are the primary outcomes evaluated.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The collected data were analyzed with IBM. SPSS statistics software 23.0 version and the one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test were used.

Results:
The mean age is 33 years, with female predominance. The statistical significant differences (P < 0.05) in pain and MIO between the 3 groups at the end of 3rdweek, 4thweek, and 3rd month postoperatively are seen in PRP group comparative to other groups.

Conclusions:
Our study has concluded that the intraarticular injection of PRP is an effective management for anterior DDWOR of TMJ than intraarticular injection of sodium hyaluronate and arthrocentesis in, reducing the pain and improving the interincisal distance in patients with DDWOR, thus providing a rapid recovery and improved quality of life.

Anxiety in sports has been widely studied by professionals in sports sciences. However, the effect of perceived difficulty and Trait-anxiety on precompetitive State-anxiety is unknown. Through a non-experimental and longitudinal design, this article studied: (i)the effect of the perceived competition difficulty (easy, moderate, and hard) on State-anxiety and, (ii)the effect of Trait-anxiety, sex, and age on the behavior of State-anxiety. Seventy-nine young swimmers (Mage= 13.3, SD= 1.9) male (n= 58, 73.4%) and female (n= 21, 26.6%) were assessed via the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The Anova and Manova indicated that the perceived difficulty of the competition affects State-anxiety. Therefore, a higher perception of task difficulty is associated with higher State-anxiety. Additionally, the interaction of sex, age and Trait-anxiety did not show an effect on State-anxiety (p> .05). The interaction of age and Trait-anxiety showed an effect (p> .05). A main effect of Trait-Anxiety on State-anxiety was observed in the perception of easy and hard difficulty. In conclusion, the perceived difficulty the competition affects the athlete's State-anxiety.

Resumen: La ansiedad en el deporte ha sido ampliamente estudiada por profesionales de las ciencias del deporte. Sin embargo, se desconoce el efecto de la dificultad percibida y el rasgo de ansiedad sobre el estado de ansiedad precompetitivo. Mediante un diseño no experimental y longitudinal, este artículo estudió: (i) el efecto de la percepción del nivel de dificultad competitivo (fácil, moderado y difícil) sobre la Ansiedad-Estado y (ii)el efecto de la Ansiedad-Rasgo, sexo y edad sobre el comportamiento de la Ansiedad-Estado. Setenta y nueve nadadores juveniles (Medad= 13.3, SD = 1,9) hombres (n = 58, 73,4%) y mujeres (n= 21, 26,6%) fueron evaluados a través del Inventario de Ansiedad Estado y Rasgo (STAI). El Anova y Manova indicaron que la percepción del nivel de dificultad afecta la Ansiedad Estado. Por tanto, una mayor percepción del nivel de dificultad de la competencia se asocia con una mayor Ansiedad-Estado. Además, la interacción entre sexo, edad y Ansiedad Rasgo no mostró efecto sobre la Ansiedad-Estado (p> .05). La interacción de la edad y el Ansiedad-Rasgo mostró un efecto significativo (p> .05). En cambio, se observó un efecto principal de la Ansiedad-Rasgo sobre la Ansiedad-Estado en la percepción de dificultad fácil y difícil. En conclusión, la percepción del nivel de dificultad de competencia afecta Ansiedad-Estado del nadador.
