Commerce et révolution en France et en Grande-Bretagne au xviiie siècle
Authors: Jones Colin 
Published: July 2022

Depuis le milieu du dix-neuvième siècle, les discussions des historiens britanniques à propos des performances économiques de la France du dix-huitième siècle et de leurs liens avec les causes de la Révolution française étaient dominées par les débats associés sur la raison pour laquelle la Grande-Bretagne était devenue la « Première nation industrielle ». Ces débats tendaient à présenter l’économie français comme « en retard » en comparaison et à rejeter le modèle marxiste des causes de la Révolution française. Depuis les années 1970 et 1980, cependant, ces perspectives sont devenues moins prévalentes. Bien que l’image marxiste d’une bourgeoisie dominante n’ait pas été restaurée, la force des performances économiques de la France au dix-huitième siècle a été soulignée. Il a été démontré que la « commercialisation » de l’économie française était comparable à celle connue par la Grande-Bretagne. Dernièrement, une importance accrue a été portée aux dimensions mondiales du développement du capitalisme commercial.
L’historiographie anglaise de la puissance navale pendant la Révolution française
Authors: Aranda Olivier 
Published: July 2022

Les enjeux maritimes de la période révolutionnaire ont été rapidement pris au sérieux par les historiens anglais, notamment en ce qui concerne le rôle stratégique des espaces liquides durant une décennie marquée par la guerre. Cette attention soutenue, qui n’a longtemps pas eu d’équivalent en France, a été durablement alimentée par la conviction que l’étude des guerres du passé était susceptible de délivrer des enseignements concernant les conflits contemporains. Cet angle d’approche a néanmoins tendance à gommer les spécificités de la période ; la vision de la Révolution française véhiculée par l’historiographie navale anglaise est restée longtemps sommaire. Si ce problème tend à s’estomper du fait de la diversification actuelle des approches de l’histoire maritime, on est encore loin d’une histoire navale « à part égale », intégrant les apports des sources et de l’historiographie française sur la période.

Authors: Fish Tebogo , Dlakavu Ayabulela , Amisi Matodzi , Masvaure Steven 
Published: July 2022

Background: Voluntary organisations for professional evaluation (VOPEs) have proliferated across the African continent, seeking to contribute to building effective national evaluation systems (NESs) that enhance development planning, implementation and appraisal.Objectives: A study commissioned by the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results - Anglophone Africa (CLEAR-AA) and the African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) in 2021 highlights key strengths and challenges faced by African VOPEs in their quest to help strengthen NESs across the continent.Method: The study was qualitative by design, employing document analysis, key informant interviews and focus group discussions with selected VOPEs across Africa.Results: While African VOPEs have proliferated in number, they take different forms, and their focus tends to be shaped by their respective national contexts. A key challenge for African VOPEs is internal human and financial capacities, while the external environment within which these national evaluation associations operate also presents risks such as co-optation and opportunities such as networking and resources.Conclusion: This article argues for the need for African VOPEs to improve their internal financial and human capacity, thereby enabling these professional associations to endeavour to contribute to strengthening the supply and demand sides of NESs, as well as refining their advocacy to reflect Africa-centred evaluation approaches and criteria.
A scoping review of intersections between indigenous knowledge systems and complexity-responsive evaluation research
Authors: Blaser-Mapitsa Caitlin 
Published: July 2022

Background: Acknowledging the need to transform the evaluation sector in Africa, locally generated approaches have been a recent area of contestation for both researchers and practitioners. Whilst the need for an African evaluation approach has been well established in the literature, there are still significant gaps in a proactive response. One of these gaps is the role of indigenous knowledge systems in these evaluation approaches. Indigenous knowledge systems have been a priority research area for decades, often in fields of science and technology, education and in research methods. Despite these strong overlaps with areas of interest to evaluators, there has been relatively little intersection between research on evaluation systems and that on indigenous knowledge systems.Objectives: This article brings together these two areas of research to see what lessons for African-rooted evaluation approaches emerge from the body of research on indigenous knowledge systems.Method: To do this, a scoping review was conducted, applying a thematic analysis to literature identified for inclusion in the study.Results: This study found that there is considerable scope for the evaluation sector to draw on indigenous knowledge systems research, particularly drawing on process and methodological lessons from designing studies, as well as defining power dynamics and critical systems approaches.Conclusion: This analysis can contribute to a needed debate about how to define and promote localised, contextually relevant evaluation tools and methods. It can also contribute to building a research agenda around African evaluation approaches.
The effects of coloniality and international development assistance on Made in Africa Evaluation: Implications for a decolonised evaluation agenda
Authors: Khumalo S. Linda 
Published: July 2022

Background: It is imperative to recognise the effects of the intrinsically Eurocentric development agenda on attaining transformative evaluation that appropriately addresses development priorities in Africa. The role of international development agencies as critical anchors in African evaluation practice needs examination to advance the Made in Africa Evaluation (MAE) discourse.Objectives: This article critiques the dominance of a Eurocentric lens to evaluation in Africa, illustrating how this impedes MAE. It harnesses the importance of MAE as a transformative, contextually relevant approach to espousing Afrocentric values in evaluation theory and practice.Method: Through a desktop review, the article examines the intrinsic power relations inherent in Western knowledge systems and how the effects of coloniality on African knowledge systems can deter the progression of a transformative, decolonial evaluation agenda.Results: The article recognises positive strides towards legitimising African knowledge systems and harnessing a more African evaluation agenda, for example, through the African Evaluation Association (AfrEA), leading the standardisation of African evaluation competencies and guidelines.Conclusion: It establishes, however, the adverse effects of long-standing power imbalances, with the development agenda in Africa being primarily set by international development organisations, such as donors. This leaves little room for African evaluators to manoeuvre and define contextually appropriate approaches to the evaluation outside of the dominant Eurocentric evaluation standards. The article contributes to understanding the role of the dominant international development agencies on evaluation in Africa and proposes recommendations for achieving a more decolonised evaluation agenda. It highlights the importance of the legitimisation of African knowledge systems, a multidisciplinary approach to monitoring and evaluation (ME), ensuring inclusivity and representation in evaluation and negotiating power balances with international development agencies.
Caring for the indigent urban population in South Africa: A case study of the eThekwini municipality
Authors: Pillay Brandon , Mutereko Sybert 
Published: July 2022

Background: Indigent policy within the eThekwini Metropolitan municipality like every well-meaning government policy seeks to address three major challenges of poverty, lack of employment and gross disparities that pose a major threat to growth in the city. Overcoming these threefold challenges forms a core objective of consolidating and advancing developmental local governance, which aims to support poor households with the intention of uplifting their everyday living conditions. There is no desire to change the current status quo of the eThekwini municipality indigent policy, and the gap still exists in the lack of internal control systems, a consolidated approach to execution and a dedicated office to deal with the roll-out of the support.Aim: This research investigated factors undermining the effective implementation of this indigent policy and proposed a strategic policy framework that ensures a long-term solution to the ineffective implementation of indigent policy.Setting: The study was conducted in eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, and respondents were employees in the following units: Electricity, Customer Services and Revenue Protection, Water Services, Finance Services, and Strategy Office.Methods: The study adopted a qualitative data approach where a semi-structured interview was used to collect data from 11 purposively selected employees from five departments of eThekwini municipality.Results: The findings reveal that the indigent policy in eThekwini municipality is ineffective because of poor implementation, poor maintenance of the indigent register, budget deficit and corruption.Conclusion: The study concludes that some measures such as maintenance of indigent registers and adequate budget allocation to improve the inefficiency in the implementation of the indigent policy.
Perceptions of nurses on TB with HIV adherence counselling skills in a health sub-district, Cape Town: A qualitative study
Authors: Ticha Victoire , Bimerew Million , Phetlhu Deliwe R. 
Published: July 2022

Background: People living with HIV (PLHIV) co-infected with Tuberculosis (TB) account for one in three HIV-related deaths. Retention in care and adherence to medication remain key behaviours that PLHIV co-infected with TB must adopt to achieve better health outcomes. Nevertheless, TB with HIV adherence-counselling services provided by nurses designed to enhance these behaviours remain inadequate. Additionally, limited information is found in the literature on the perceptions of nurses regarding their TB with HIV adherence counselling skills pertaining to PLHIV co-infected with TB.Aim: To explore and describe the perceptions of nurses regarding their TB with HIV adherence counselling skills of PLHIV co-infected with TB.Setting: The study was conducted in a health sub-district of Cape Town.Method: An exploratory, descriptive qualitative design was followed. A total of 14 purposively sampled nurses were interviewed individually. Nurses caring for PLHIV co-infected with TB were included and nurses not offering care to PLHIV co-infected with TB were excluded. All interviews were audio recorded with the participants’ permission followed by verbatim transcriptions. Thematic analysis was done using ATLASti.8 electronic software.Results: It was established that the varied roles of these nurses increased their workload. Nonetheless, despite the gap in their counselling skills, the majority still maintained work expertise, professionalism and empathy towards the patients. Additionally, there were perceived barriers impacting patients’ attendance of their follow up appointments.Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, there is a need to equip nurses caring for PLHIV co-infected with TB with adherence counselling skills to improve practice.Contribution: The findings were synthesised with results from an in-depth literature review to stand as the backbone for the development of a training programme for nurses to improve adherence counselling.
Patient’s perceptions of presbycusis and associated tinnitus counselling practices within the KwaZulu-Natal province
Authors: Bhojraj Kerusha , Peter Vuyelwa Z. 
Published: July 2022

Background: Counselling manages the psychosocial effects of presbycusis and associated tinnitus, which is best conducted through patient-centred care (PCC). However, there is a paucity of research on implementing PCC within audiology and on patients’ perceptions of counselling practice, making the focus on patient benefit and satisfaction crucial. Furthermore, PCC has been documented to be suitable in addressing the psychosocial effects of hearing loss and associated tinnitus, as it focuses on the adult patient playing an integral part of the management processes, providing improved patient outcomes.Objectives: This study aimed to explore patients’ perceptions of presbycusis and associated tinnitus counselling practices by audiologists within KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).Method: Qualitative phenomenological semi-structured telephonic interviews were conducted through purposive sampling, consisting of seven patients with presbycusis and associated tinnitus who were recruited from private and public facilities in KZN. Data were analysed through hybrid thematic analysis following Braun and Clark’s steps.Results: Six categories were identified: perceptions on counselling methods, efficacy and tools, audiological rehabilitative training, multicultural sensitivity, patient satisfaction and recommendations on improving counselling practices as PCC adaptation. Themes were then extracted from these categories. The overall outcome of the study found that patients had positive perceptions of methods and tools, and audiologists were viewed as adequately trained. Furthermore, they were satisfied and benefitted from counselling practices and found clinicians to be culturally sensitive in their practice. However, recommendations were made towards linguistic sensitivity and satisfaction evaluations.Conclusion: Therefore, implementing PCC into counselling practice may achieve positive patient perceptions, thus highlighting the need to identify barriers and improve the implementation of PCC into practice, especially in resource-constrained contexts.

Newcastle disease (ND) is a contagious disease in poultry and numerous birds of various ages. Eagle is considered a potential reservoir for ND transmission as a wild bird. This research was conducted to molecularly characterize Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from ND cases in Brontok Eagle and analyze the pathogenesis in chicken embryos. qRT-PCR was conducted as conﬁrmation of NDV without mixing Avian Inﬂuenza (AI). Sequencing the fusion (F) and haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) genes from the three NDVs was performed with a speciﬁc primer. Amino acid sequence compared with other NDV from Genbank. Pathogenicity, genetic variation, distance, and phylogenetic studies were analyzed using bioinformatics software (MEGA-X). This study analyzed pathogenesis based on lesions and distribution of viral antigens in chicken embryos infected with NDV. Observations were based on tissue lesions with HE and IHC staining. NDV isolated from three Brontok Eagles is classiﬁed as velogenic strain, virulent NDV (KRQKRF), and belonging to Genotype VII subgenotype VII.2. The NDV was detected in various organ lesions, more severe in the pulmo, trachea, proventriculus, and intestine of chicken embryos. That is still similar to the previous case reports in the ﬁeld. These results show that NDV, which infected Brontok Eagle, has similar molecular characteristics and pathogenesis in chickens. These cases could be a threat to the poultry industry. Further research, surveillance, and monitoring of wild birds are needed to obtain more NDV epidemiological information in wild birds.

Authors: Christy Nur Cahyani  , Ismayana Andes , Yani Mohamad 
Published: July 2022

The pollution of coastal areas caused by oil spills is an environmental issue that needs further attention. Crude oil contains persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are difficult to degrade. This study aimed to isolate bacterial strains capable of degrading crude oil from the Bekasi coast through bacterial isolate characterization and crude oil biodegradation tests using a crude oil-enriched microcosm model. Two strains with higher TPH degradation values were selected among the isolated bacteria, namely CYA20 and CYA27, which specifically showed values of 46% and 66%, respectively. These strains were tolerant to NaCl concentrations of up to 4% and 12%, respectively, and they were also tolerant to pH values ranging from 5 to 9 and temperatures between 10°C and 50°C. Both strains were shown to utilize POPs, such as phenanthrene and fluorene, produce biosurfactants, and exhibited an emulsification activity in paraffin ranging from 0.373 to 0.533. Phylogenetic analyses identified these bacterial strains as Acinetobacter baumannii CYA20 and Bacillus subtilis CYA27, respectively. The results of this study indicate that these isolates could be developed as biodegradation agents for the bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated environments.

Published: July 2022

Cuaca merupakan salah satu faktor alam yang memiliki efek positif sekaligus dampak negatif bagi kehidupan manusia tergantung dari cara pemanfaatan cuaca maupun pengaruh aspek cuaca terhadap pekerjaan ataupun kegiatan yang dilakukan. Sehingga membuat informasi cuaca menjadi hal yang penting untuk diketahui terutama bagi industri pangan yang memanfaatkan sinar matahari untuk penjemuran, juga kegiatan-kegiatan yang dilakukan di luar ruangan. Salahsatu cara untuk mengetahui cuaca adalah melihat perkiraan cuaca yang telah disediakan pada website penyedia layanan informasi cuaca seperti BMKG, namun terkadang informasi yang disajikan ditujukan untuk area yang luas, sehingga terkadang terjadi perbedaan cuaca pada lokasi tertentu. Salahsatu cara untuk mengatasi hal ini adalah membuat sebuah alat yang dapat membaca cuaca pada area lokal, kemudian dapat diakses melalui halaman website menggunakan konsep Internet Of Things (IOT). Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode waterfall untuk menghasilakan sebuah alat menggunakan Node MCU yang dapat membaca cuaca pada area lokal, kemudian mengirimkan data tersebut ke basis data pada web server juga halaman website yang dapat menampilkan informasi cuaca dari basis data server tempat menyimpan data hasil pembacaan cuaca oleh alat tersebut. Dimana setelah dilakukan proses pengujian terdapat perbedaan hasil pembacaan cuaca dari alat yang ditempatkan di Desa Anjani, Kecamtan Suralaga dengan prediksi cuaca untuk Kabupaten Lombok timur berkisar antara 1-5°C untuk pembacaan suhu, dan 0-20%RH untuk pembacaan kelembaban. Sedangkan untuk hasil pembacaan sensor hujan tidak terdapat perbedaan samasekali.

Kendala yang dilalui mahasiswa ketika proses menyusun skripsi semakin bertambah di saat keadaan wabah pandemi Covid-19 melanda. Oleh karenanya mahasiswa diharapkan mempunyai pandangan yang positif, hal ini juga berkaitan dengan kepribadian seseorang yaitu suatu perkembangan diri seseorang yang asalnya dari sifat individu tersebut yang dimiliki ketika manusia dilahirkan ke dunia, salah satunya adalah kepribadian ihsan yaitu kepribadian baik atau positif di dalam islam. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasional yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kepribadian ihsan dengan stres akademik pada mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 86 mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsinya. Dari uji korelasi antara kepribadian ihsan dan stres akademik diperoleh hasil koefisien korelasi r= -0,527 dengan p= 0,000 p < 0,05. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang negatif antara kepribadian ihsan dan stres akademik pada mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi, hal ini menunjukan bahwa mahasiswa yang menyusun skripsi memiliki kepribadian ihsan yang tinggi dalam aplikasi sehari-harinya maka akan sukar mengalami stres akademik. Sebaliknya, jika mahasiswa yang menyusun skripsi memiliki kepribadian ihsan yang rendah dalam aplikasi sehari-harinya maka akan mudah mengalami stres akademik.
