Several recent studies have aimed to identify and better understand the psychosocial factors that would make it possible to predict health-related behaviors. With this in mind, different psychosocial theories, such as the theory of reasoned action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980), the theory of interpersonal behavior (Triandis, 1980), the social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1982) and that of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985, 1988, 1991) have been regularly applied.
The application of these aforementioned theories for the study of social behaviors linked to health (Godin & al., 1996) is validated by a number of studies.In the same logic, realizing that despite the universal need for blood, access to it still remains difficult and very limited, the study of social representations of blood donation was essential to us.In order to explore and then determine the central and peripheral cores of social representations of blood donation among the populations of Togo, 122 subjects including 53 women and 69 men, using the simple random sampling technique, were interviewed. The evocation questionnaire and the interview made it possible to collect the data. The Evoc 2005 software allowed the processing of the information collected; The intergroup structural analysis of the data shows that the items: «save life», «help» and «serious illness» constitute the central elements of the social representations of blood donation. The populations surveyed have a fairly valued representation of blood donation; there is a real interest in blood donation among the population.
The populations of the Zambia-Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cross-border area are under community tension. This situation endangers peace and peaceful cohabitation between these communities. The major issue remains the desire for the DRC’s mineral, oil, lake (Lakes Tanganyika, Moero, etc.), forestry and soil riches. Zambia no longer accepts its colonial borders and annexes several localities and villages in the chiefdom of Moliro (DRC) to its national territory. Several incursions by Zambia into Congolese territory leading to human rights violations (killings, forced displacement of the population and the replacement of Congolese customary leaders by Zambians, etc.). Mediations in favor of a return to peace between these two countries remain without results. The last is that under the aegis of the Southern African Development Community (SADEC), the objective was to implement the treaty of September 18, 1989 signed by these two countries. On the ground, once again the application of this treaty showed weaknesses in its materialization. This article focuses on the analysis of the effectiveness of the application of the treaty of September 18, 1989 signed by Presidents Mobutu (DRC) and Kaunda (Zambia). The observation is that the geographical coordinates of the different points contained in this treaty are not compatible with the real coordinates of the places in place on the one hand. This treaty, as well as the various attempts to resolve the said conflict, do not integrate local communities into the processes of seeking peace on the other hand.
The conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems necessarily involves estimating the animal populations that live there. For decades, several studies have been carried out in the Taï National Park (TNP) to provide information on the dynamics of animal species within this forest massif. This study falls within this framework and aims to estimate the abundance of Zebra duiker Gray, 1838 and Jentink’s duiker Thomas, 1892 according to their proportion of occupation of the sampling sites at the TNP. To achieve this objective, 285 camera traps were deployed, following a systemic setup. This work has made it possible to show that the zebra duiker in the TNP is found mainly in three parts (West, Center and South). As for the distribution of the Jentink’s duiker, it occupies almost the entire extent of the park. Regarding their abundance, the zebra duiker population is estimated at 232, between 138 and 390 individuals. While the population of Jentink’s duiker is estimated at 496 with a minimum of 305 and a maximum of 807 individuals at TNP.
Worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, nearly 3.5 million children under the age of five die each year from diarrheal diseases and pneumonia due to non-compliance with hand hygiene. However, hand washing still remains inaccessible for millions of people (around 40%), most often found in places of learning and in schools. Furthermore, deaths of diarrheal origin attributable to water, hygiene and sanitation problems are burdens linked to unsanitary water, the absence of a sanitation system and lack of hygiene, as well as on the latest estimates of infant and child mortality. This study explores the opinions of street children in the city of Bunia regarding hand hygiene. This is an exploratory type study, during which we used the cross-sectional method. Purposive sampling was used to draw our sample. Thanks to a semi-structural interview to collect data. The results obtained state that: The majority of children think that digestive problems are the consequence of lack of hand hygiene, while others have the opinion that lack of hand hygiene results in respiratory illnesses and finally the majority have the opinion that diseases from dirty hands come from the products contained in the water prepared for hand washing (alluding to chlorine 0.05%). In short, we found that the hand washing devices are non-existent in public places; the consequences of which are enormous especially among children in Situation de la Rue in the city of Bunia.
The population takes care of itself, sometimes abandons first aid structures made affordable for them, and joins informal structures, prayer rooms or alternative medicines, less expensive and considered gentler in rural areas. The situation is becoming more alarming because the population is impoverished, which still does not make the attendance of health centers at the community level always evident. This study aims to describe the impacts of subsidy of care among children under of 5 years in the Bunia health zone. To carry out this work, the transversal method supported by the semi-structural interview made it possible to carry out this work with the 20 ITs in the Bunia health zone. After analysis, we reached the results according to which 85.0% of health structures receive the care subsidy; 55.0% of health structures stipulate the increase in patients as a subsidy advantage; 40.0% of health structures reported the non-treatment of all illnesses as disadvantages of subsidy 35.0% of health structures reported patient satisfaction as socio-economic impacts of subsidy; Health structures reported that the impact of subsidy on quality of service is to offer quality care and not to offer quality care respectively 30.0%; excluding 90.0% of health structures are motivated by the care subsidy; 50.0% of health structures reported the reduction in maternal and neonatal as a subsidy impact on the operation of services; 45.0% of health structures reported the supply of medicines as a type of motivation for care; 60.0% of health structures reported not having a maintenance subsidy of building. Given these results, we believe that the subsidy significantly increases the use of healthcare services and allows the entire population to have access to healthcare.
Low birth weight constitutes a major public health problem, both in developed and developing countries, due to its magnitude and its strong association with infant morbidity and mortality. Nearly 40% of deaths before the age of 5 occur in the neonatal period. Low birth weight is the 3rd cause of death in neonatology, after infections and prematurity. This aims to describe the epidemiological profile of newborns with low birth weight at the HGR/Bunia. results stipulate that the frequency of newborns with low birth weight was 24.45% and this trend is more observed in the month of September, i.e. 43.33%; our studies show that 17.37% of newborns had had Stabilization in an incubator as the main nursing care, 18.13% of newborns had had Ampicillin and gentamicin as the main medical care; in 33.68% the great multiparity was the favoring factor low birth weight linked to the mother; prematurity was the factor favoring low birth weight linked to newborns 45.26%; and 54.21% of newborns with low birth weight were cured. In fact, most of our cases were treated with antibiotics and the majority were cured.
The objective of our work is to set up a network structure that would be capable of connecting the different digital systems in order to allow easy, reliable and permanent secure access to the establishment's information. To do this, the implementation of a WLAN which should allow us to obtain a secure connection at a lower cost and thus reassure:
- The integrity of the information;
- Authentication of positions;
- Protection of interconnection terminals;
- Management of quality of service and deadlines;
- Failure management.
To do this, all entities are virtually connected to the local network as if the interconnection to the node (Hub) took place using physical media (cables).
Communication is established using the TCP/IP Protocol and you can contact hosts with IP addresses or non-specific ones committed to the local network.
Also, our specific problem in our present research will be to know how to put in place a technical solution to allow access to the information or applications of the administrative office of the ISTM / Tshela in the City of Tshela in the Territory of Tshela and District du Bas-Fleuve from any computer connected in wireless mode (Wifi) under the configuration of the local network of this higher education establishment. These are the issues that concern us motivating this work.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many aspects of our lives, including the world of work. Teleworking and the use of digital tools have become essential contingent solutions for many organizations, allowing employees to continue their professional activities while respecting social distancing measures and travel restrictions. Indeed, teleworking supported by digital tools has helped maintain organizations’ activities and reduce the risk of virus transmission. However, its effectiveness depends on various factors, such as the nature of tasks, available technologies, employee characteristics and specific job requirements, as well as knowledge capitalization and transfer. Moreover, the results of our research based on an empirical study conducted in the banking sector highlighted how digital transformation encourages knowledge capitalization and sharing within an organization, through facilitated collaboration based on the fluid sharing of data and expertise between teams.
The purpose of this article is to explore teleworking and the use of digital tools as contingent organizational responses to the Covid-19 crisis, also focusing on knowledge capitalization and transfer. The aim is to examine both the benefits and challenges induced by these practices, as well as their impact on employee well-being.
The anesthetic effect of clove essential oil and 2-Phenoxyethanol on tilapia Oreochromis niloticus is evaluated. For this study, 200 specimens measuring 103 to 169 mm SL and weighing 29 to 135 g were collected from ponds at the CNRA continental fishing and aquaculture research station in Bouaké and stored at 27°C in two thermostatically controlled tanks supplied by a closed water circuit. These specimens were fed with the ternary compound food 3A, at a rate of 110 g/d. After one week of acclimation, the fish were kept fasting for 30 h before the experiment. For the anesthesia tests, a device of three tanks was used per anesthetic, one for the control solution (Water + 90% Ethanol), one for the anesthesia and one for waking up the fish. The doses tested are 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 ml/L of water for clove oil and 2.5, 5 and 10 ml/L of water for 2-Phenoxyethanol. Clove oil is previously dissolved in a solution of water and ethanol at a rate of 0.02 ml for 4 ml of ethanol/L of water. A control test without anesthetic was also carried out with the Water-Ethanol solution, in order to highlight the effect of Ethanol. The results obtained show that clove oil has a higher anesthetic power on O. niloticus compared to 2-Phenoxyethanol. The optimal effective dose is 0.04 ml/L of water compared to 0.5 ml/L of water for 2-Phenoxyethanol. The respective time of total loss of reflexes fluctuates between 31 s and 1 min 56 s for the first anesthetic, compared to 1 min 36 s to 4 min 08 s for the second at the minimum doses indicated. Ethanol has no anesthetic power on O. niloticus. The availability of clove oil on the local market in naturotherapist pharmacies and its affordable cost, i.e. 15,000 CFA francs for a 100 ml dose, make it a good candidate for the anesthesia of O. niloticus in aquaculture farms.
In order to gain a better understanding of the Ivorian sedimentary basin and optimize the exploitation of its resources, a number of researchers have begun work there, especially in the offshore part of the basin. However, the Turonian, having been severely eroded and presented as consisting of small thicknesses of rock, has long remained neglected. In order to fill the knowledge gap on the Turonian formations of the Abidjan margin, this study was carried out with the aim of determining the complete lithostratigraphy of the Turonian sedimentary rocks of the Abidjan margin. The work was carried out on 313 samples from five (5) wells on this margin. It involved lithological analysis and study of accessory elements (glauconites, carbonaceous debris and pyrites) using a binocular magnifying glass, as well as calcimetric study of the sediments using a Bernard calcimeter. Diagonal analysis was used to identify the lithology of the formations studied. The Turonian is characterized by dark argillites (for the most part), limestone, sands and sandstones. The sediments are essentially low in calcium carbonate. Pyrites, carbonaceous debris and abundant glauconites are found. The sediments were deposited in a shallow, semi-confined marine environment close to the mainland.
