Pourquoi l’historien de l’Afrique antique doit-il s’intéresser aux études berbères ?
Authors: Desanges Jehan 
Published: May 2022

En dépit de la forte punicisation de certaines régions du Maghreb (Tripolitaine et Numidie, notamment), les langues parlées au temps de la conquête arabe étaient en majorité libyques. Par la suite et jusqu’à nos jours, ce sont les parlers berbères qui ont limité l’arabophonie à travers l’histoire. Il y a une filiation entre le « libyque » et le « berbère », et l’historien de l’Afrique du Nord préislamique doit suivre de près les progrès de la recherche sur la langue berbère dont les vestiges se retrouvent jusqu’aux îles Canaries.
Le libyque épigraphique
Authors: Ghaki Mansour 
Published: May 2022

S’agissant des études relatives au Libyque, des questions sur l’origine et la datation demeurent posées ; si certains y voient une écriture autochtone propre à l’Afrique berbère, d’autres n’hésitent pas à affirmer qu’elle dérive du phénicien. La chronologie, quant à elle, varie : la fin du second millénaire av. J.C. pour certains et le règne de Massinissa, donc du second siècle toujours avant J.C. pour d’autres. Le libyque se présente, en se basant sur le support, en « libyque épigraphique » et « libyque rupestre ». Dans l’état actuel des données disponibles, en analysant les caractéristiques du libyque épigraphique : répartition géographique, décor accompagnant l’inscription, bilingues libyques-puniques et bilingues libyques-latines, nature des textes, rapports avec le milieu sédentaire et/ou citadin, etc., il est possible d’avancer, ne serait-ce qu’à titre d’hypothèses, des éléments des réponses aux questions évoquées.
L’enseignement secondaire à l’épreuve de l’Occupation allemande dans la zone interdite franc-comtoise
Authors: Cussey-Besançon Maud 
Published: May 2022

En juin 1940, les troupes d’occupation allemandes s’installent sur une grande partie du territoire français dans lequel on délimite une zone au statut particulier : la zone « interdite ou réservée ». La Franche-Comté en fait presque intégralement partie. Le quotidien des populations et des établissements scolaires est rapidement bouleversé. Adultes comme élèves doivent s’accommoder de la situation et vivre au rythme du couvre-feu, des pénuries, des réquisitions, de la propagande, des censures, des arrestations… Il faut repenser le quotidien, poursuivre la mission éducative en s’adaptant sans cesse à la présence menaçante de l’occupant aux abords et au sein des établissements scolaires.
La persécution des Juifs dans la zone réservée
Authors: Rigaut Rudy 
Published: May 2022

Cet article propose d’analyser la persécution des Juifs en l’insérant dans ce cadre régional particulier que représente la « zone réservée ». Dans une démarche résolument microhistorique, l’étude aborde du point de vue des bourreaux, qu’ils soient décideurs ou exécuteurs, la question du calendrier qui révèle un alignement sur celui instauré dans la zone occupée et met aussi en évidence le « paradoxe » de l’année 1944. La spécificité du sort réservé aux Juifs dans cette zone est également appréhendée à travers des lieux particuliers : les camps d’Écrouves, de Vittel et des Mazures. L’auteur traite aussi la question des tentatives de fuite vers la Suisse du point de vue des victimes, donnant ainsi à voir toutes les dimensions du processus de persécution dans cette configuration régionale spécifique.
La société inclusive : « élément de langage » ou vrai projet de lutte contre l’exclusion ?
Authors: Ennuyer Bernard 
Published: May 2022

Les mots « inclusion » ou société « inclusive » sont devenus des « éléments de langage » utilisés à tout propos… Ils sont employés principalement dans un contexte de populations en difficulté ou « défavorisées », considérées comme partiellement exclues, ou potentiellement en voie de l’être, de telle ou telle institution essentielle de la société : scolarisation, formation professionnelle, logement, emploi, santé, culture, information, numérique, biens et services divers, etc. L’inclusion serait alors l’antidote à l’exclusion, la « société inclusive » le contraire d’une société qui exclut. La notion de société inclusive étant essentiellement issue du monde du handicap, nous avons examiné comment cette notion avait été reprise dans le champ des « personnes âgées ». Seule la CNSA, dans sa démarche prospective menée en 2018 a proposé des pistes permettant l’avènement d’une société inclusive affirmant : « Notre modèle de société ne se transformera que si l’ensemble des parties prenantes, au premier chef d’entre elles, les personnes concernées, s’y associent. […] Elles doivent être accompagnées afin d’être en mesure de construire des réponses aux attentes de l’ensemble des citoyens, quels que soient leur âge, leur situation de handicap ou de santé ». Cette co-construction des réponses qui leur sont proposées avec les personnes concernées nous paraît intéressante tout en veillant à ce que, pour ces personnes, cette participation reste un choix et ne devienne pas une obligation.

Authors: Hans Danielle 
Published: May 2022

L’article présente le récit autobiographique d’une situation vécue au cours d’une expérience d’enseignant-chercheur dans une université française. La violence vécue subjectivement par son auteur fait l’objet d’analyses montrant la complexité des dimensions impliquées dans la situation. Ces analyses abordent les implications affectives et les positions professionnelles de l’auteur, examinent plusieurs processus liés au contexte institutionnel et questionnent les rapports de pouvoir au sein des relations entre enseignants-chercheurs. L’article débouche sur une compréhension plus générale des processus de liaison et de déliaison dans l’institution universitaire.
Racisme : entre exclusion sociale et peur identitaire
Authors: Leroy Aurélie 
Published: May 2022

Résistant et élastique, le racisme mue au gré des évolutions des sociétés contemporaines. La reconfiguration des liens sociaux vers plus d’hétérogénéité questionne le rapport aux « autres » et la frontière entre « eux » et « nous ». Le réveil des affirmations identitaires se révèle, selon l’usage, instrument d’intégration ou d’exclusion. Au-delà d’un simple discours écran, la promotion de la diversité articulée à la quête d’égalité peut être motrice d’émancipation.
Comparative study between BAP65 score and DECAF score in assessment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Lolah Magdy A. , El-Habashy Mahmoud M. , Gadallah Mahmoud T. 
Published: May 2022

Background
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations is common, but accurate expectation of hospitalized patients in exacerbation state has been difficult for a long time. Dyspnea, eosinopenia, consolidation, acidemia, and atrial fibrillation (DECAF) score was evaluated in this study for prediction of mortality and ventilation need in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD admitted to ICU or chest department. This novel score was compared with the BAP65 scoring system.

Patients and methods
A total of 50 patients were included in this comparative study. They were admitted with COPD exacerbation from our ER to the chest department or ICU. BAP65 and DECAF scores were collected on admission for each patient. The patients were followed up during the hospital stay. Death or ventilation events was recorded. Data analysis was done using SPSS, version 22.

Results
DECAF and BAP65 scores had a good prediction of in-hospital mortality, with 100% sensitivity for both, whereas the specificity was 87% for DECAF score and 91% BAP65 score. The accuracy in mortality prediction for DECAF and BAP65 score was 88 and 92%, respectively. The sensitivity of DECAF and BAP65 scores for prediction of mechanical ventilation need was 93 and 87%, respectively, whereas the specificity was 74 and 60%, respectively, with 80% accuracy in DECAF score and 68% accuracy in BAP65 score. A positive linear relationship with a significant correlation was found between DECAF score and BAP65 score on the Pearson’s graph (r=0.604, P<0.001).

Conclusion
BAP65 and DECAF are feasible scores that can be calculated by usually available data. They also have a good prediction for mortality and ventilation need during acute exacerbation of COPD.
Role of chest ultrasound in early diagnosis of ventilator-acquired pneumonia and its impact on the outcome
Authors: Mohamed Alaa E.A. , Abdel Dayem Aya M. , Elmaraghy Ashraf A. , Ezzelregal Hieba G. 
Published: May 2022

Background
The term ventilator-acquired pneumonia (VAP) refers to pneumonia that develops 48–72 h after endotracheal intubation. The accuracy of diagnosis is improved by combining clinical, laboratory, and radiographic criteria.

Purpose
This article offers an evidence for the role of chest ultrasound in early detection of VAP and its effect on the outcome in the respiratory ICU.

Patients and methods
A prospective study carried out on 100 consecutive patients, who were mechanically ventilated and developed VAP admitted to the respiratory ICUs of Ain Shams University Hospitals in the period from February 2019 to February 2020. All were subjected to chest radiograph and chest ultrasonography screening within 12 h of mechanical ventilation and followed up after obtaining informed written consent of one first-degree relative of the patients.

Results
For diagnosis of VAP requires a highly statistically significant increase in the detection of chest ultrasound findings (B lines, air bronchogram, and pleural effusion) serially in the first 72 h of patient hospitalization (P=0.001 for all). This was correlated with the outcome, there was a high statistically significant increase in air bronchogram and pleural effusion in mortality patients in the first 48 h by serial chest ultrasound (P=0.003, 0.002, respectively). After 72 h pleural effusion only was the finding that showed a highly statistically significant increase with mortality (P=0.001), with a sensitivity of 38.9% and specificity of 89%, and it was found to be the most important predictor of mortality by chest ultrasound after 72 h.

Conclusion
Chest ultrasound is a sensitive method for bedside detection of VAP. Sonographic findings of VAP was found to have a big impact on the outcome. The most important predictor of death in VAP assessment by chest ultrasound was pleural effusion in the first 72 h.

Platelet mass index as early indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis in psoriasis
Authors: Gaballah Mohammad A. , Eldegla Sara I.E. , Taman Saher E.M. , Salem Hanan A.M. 
Published: May 2022

Background
Psoriasis is a chronic systemic disease. Inflammatory pathways activation in psoriasis may play a role in atherosclerosis development, independent of conventional risk factors. Platelets may have roles in psoriasis and atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular diseases prevention is based on early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Platelet mass index means platelet count×mean platelet volume. Platelet mass index is a good indicator of inflammation, platelets activation, and atherosclerosis.

Objective
To evaluate platelet mass index as a marker of early diagnosis of subclinical atherosclerosis in psoriasis and its relation to different disease characteristics.

Patients and methods
In this case-control study, 100 psoriasis patients and 100 well-matched healthy controls were included. In all participants, common carotid intima-media thickness, platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet mass index, and Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score were estimated.

Results
There were significant increases in platelet mass index and common carotid intimamedia thickness in patients compared with controls and in atherosclerotic patients compared with nonatherosclerotics. There was significant increase in psoriasis duration in atherosclerotic patients compared with nonatherosclerotics, whereas PASI score showed nonsignificant difference between them. There were significant positive correlations between platelet mass index and patient age, psoriasis duration, common carotid intima-media thickness, whereas there was significant inverse correlation between platelet mass index and age of psoriasis onset and no correlation with PASI score. Platelet mass index was more predictor of atherosclerosis than platelet count and mean platelet volume. Platelet mass index was valid as predictor for atherosclerosis with cutoff value 3322.

Conclusion
Platelet mass index may be a good marker of platelet activity and subclinical atherosclerosis in psoriasis. Disease duration is more important than severity in atherosclerosis development. Dermatologists should advice patients to avoid traditional cardiovascular risk factors and to do routine cardiovascular checkup.

Published: May 2022

This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on agro-inputs distribution and sales along the agricultural supply chain (ASC) in gun State, Nigeria. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 96 agro-dealers from the Abeokuta and Ilaro ADP zones of Ogun State. Data were collected and analysed using a computer assisted personalized interviewing (CAPI) system. Findings showed that 89% of the respondents sold agro-inputs in the shops, 26% in the rural villages, and 19.8% at market stands. Due to the lockdown, 68.8% closed down shops for 35 – 39 days, 92.7% found it difficult to move agro-inputs from the stores to the villages, and 85.4% incurred high costs in transporting agro-inputs from urban to the rural areas. Likewise, 61.5% reported low patronage of fewer than 10 customers per week while the average weekly sales dropped from ₦60,000 to 15,600 for maize seeds, ₦78,000 to 27,000 for herbicides, and ₦336,000 to 120,000 for fertilizers. The lockdown was significantly affected patronage (β = 0.64) and sales (β = 0.72). The COVID-19 pandemic affected patronage and sales of agro-inputs in Ogun State.

Published: May 2022

The study investigates the effect of interactive computer software package on keyboarding students’ academic achievement among gender in Federal Colleges of Education in North-East Nigeria. The study had two objectives, two research questions and two null hypotheses. The pretest posttest comparison group design was used. The population of the study was 1748 students that offered keyboarding in two of the Federal Colleges of Education in North-east Nigeria in 2019/2020 academic session. Two intact classes of 43 male, 30 female making 176 students and 62 male, 103 female students were used for the study respectively. The instrument used for data collection were keyboarding pre-diagnostic achievement test (KPAT) and keyboarding diagnostic achievement test (KDAT) was designed by the researcher and validated by three experts. The data obtained from pilot study were subjected to statistical analysis using Cronbach Alpha. The instrument had Reliability Coefficient of 0.85 while that of posttest was 0.89. The KDAT were administered to student before the treatment while KDAP were administered after the treatment. Data collected from the two instruments were marked by the researcher using drawn marking scheme. The results of the data were coded in to Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 25. The SPSS was used analyze Descriptive statistics of Mean, Standard Deviation and t-test, Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the research question while t-test was employed in testing the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed among others that those taught using conventional method perform woefully in both gender. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that the use of interactive computer software package would help both male and female students to have proficiency in mastering the keyboard which will facilitate their typing skills. It was recommended among others that school should charge all the keyboarding lecturers to use computer software package in teaching the students irrespective of gender.

Published: May 2022

Objectives:This study aims to investigate the relationship between the interferon-gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1) polymorphism and susceptibility to lung sarcoidosis.Patients and methods:The study included a total of 55 patients (13 males, 42 females; mean age: 46.5±9.1 years; range, 22 to 66 years) with lung sarcoidosis and 28 healthy controls (6 males, 22 females; mean age: 43.9±5.9 years; range 22 to 60 years) selected from the Turkish population. The polymerase chain reaction was used for genotyping of participants to determine single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which is considered an important tool for detecting genotyping errors, was tested. Allele and genotype frequencies of patients and controls were compared using logistic regression analysis.Results:The analyses showed no correlation between the tested IFNGR1 single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs2234711) and lung sarcoidosis (p>0.05). The categorization analysis according to the clinical features, laboratory, and radiographic characteristics showed no correlation between the tested polymorphism of IFNGR1 (rs2234711) and these characteristics (p>0.05).Conclusion:The results of the study showed that the tested gene polymorphism (rs2234711) of IFNGR1 was not associated with lung sarcoidosis. More comprehensive studies are needed to verify our results.
Role of low-density lipoprotein receptor rs5925 (1959C>T) gene polymorphism in pathogenesis of dyslipidemia among Egyptian lupus nephritis patients
Authors: Alsabbagh Yumn A. , Ahmed Saher A. , Salama Heba E. , Abd-Elmawla Mai A. , Elgendy Hala L. 
Published: May 2022

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) rs5925 genetic variants and to evaluate their relationship with plasma lipid and kidney functions in lupus nephritis patients.
Patients and methods: Between September 2020 and June 2021, a total of 100 lupus nephritis patients (8 males, 92 females; mean age: 31.1±1.1 years; range, 20 to 67 years) and a total of 100 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers (10 males, 90 females; mean age: 35.8±2.8 years; range, 21 to 65 years) were included. The gene polymorphism rs5925 (LDLR) was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP). Lipid profile and kidney functions were measured.
Results: Regarding rs5925 (LDLR), C allele was significantly higher among lupus nephritis patients (60%) compared to the control group (45%). While T allele was significantly lower in lupus nephritis patients (40%), compared to the control group (p=0.003). The plasma level of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly lower in lupus nephritis patients with TT and CT genotypes, compared to those with CC genotype. Moreover, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and LDL-C/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio were significantly lower in patients with TT genotype, compared to the patients with CC genotype. There was a strong and clear association between patients with renal biopsies grades III & IV & V and LDLR C allele (p=0.01, p=0.003, and p=0.004, respectively).
Conclusion: C allele is the significantly prevailed LDLR C1959T variant among lupus nephritis patients. Moreover, LDL-R genetic variant may be one of the non-immunological mechanisms implicated in the disturbed lipid profile among lupus nephritis patients. Profound dyslipidemia may partly underscore the deterioration of kidney function among lupus nephritis patients.
