Background: Talent management (TM) and organizational talent pools in general, is used as an umbrella term to refer to the current and future people resourcing needs of an organization. Over the years, the healthcare sector of Greece seems it cannot manage and channel the chances of creation of talent pools in Physiotherapy, in order to multiply innovation, expertise and new ideas. As Physiotherapists we can change people’s lives in a positive way, but one thing is certain, that our personalities are unique, our way of thinking is different and we tend to be potential talented in a diverse way. Objective: This research will try to shed light on a glaring gap, whether diversity and innovational thinking of individuals can contribute to the development of talent management pools in the rising profession of Physical therapy in Greece, in order to meet the worldwide demands. Methods: This study documents the current thinking on talent management within the Physiotherapy profession in Greece. Interviews were taken from eleven Physiotherapists from two different public hospitals and two organizations from public primary health care of Greece, in the region of Thessaloniki. Results: The results of the study have revealed a lack of interest; understanding and appreciation of the possibilities that talent management could bring the physical therapy profession confront with profitable talent management pools. Managers are reluctant to allow employees to participate in talent management pools and that our participants are generally unaware of the term and show hesitation in a potential participation in such a project. Conclusions: Our study concluded that most of the Physical therapists who were included in the study was reluctant to participate in talent management pools.
Introduction: In connection with the reform of the intermediate level of the health system in the DRC, this article describes the perceptions of health district teams, regarding to intermediate health level support, in North Kivu province. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey of senior staff in 34 health districts in North Kivu. The collected data was encoded and analyzed using SPSS version 26 software. Results: More than 85% of health district managers (29/34 districts) view positively the support and coaching at the intermediate level, in terms of the adequacy of the accompanying object, the gradient of the competences of the supervisors, the capacity building, the support for problem-solving and the progress on the path of revitalization of health districts. On the other hand, these perceptions are nuanced about the availability of framers, the frequency of accompanying visits, the juxtaposition of these visits on other activities and the effects on the use of services and the protection of users from financial risks. These perceptions do not vary by gender, age, occupational categories, and seniority in function and within the health district (p>0.05). Discussion and conclusion: These results show the value of more coherence, proactivity and responsiveness in support and reform of the intermediate level, to strengthen its impact on the performance of health district teams.
The present study was carried out in the provincial public health laboratory of sud ubangi in DR Congo. Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections in town and in hospitals. The treatment depends on the biological diagnosis (antibiogram) in general and when this one is biased, it remains recurrence. Numerous studies show that urinary tract infections affect around 40 to 50% of women during their lifetimes and that a third of its women will develop a urinary tract infection before the age of 24 worldwide.We conducted a prospective experimental study from January to September 2020. The type of samples used for this study is convenience non-probabilistic. After analysis we found the following results: 52 cases or 60.5% are female against 34 cases or 39.5% male, the most represented age group is that of 21-40 years with 46 cases or 53.5, Escherichia coli is dominant with 34 positive cases or 39.5% followed by Enterobacter with 11 cases or 12.7%, 11 patients had Escherichia coli or 32.4% male against 24 female or 46.2 followed by staphylococcus with 7 cases or 20.6% male on the other hand the female had only 8 cases of klebsiela or 15.4%, and 6 female cases had Enterobacter or 11.5%.In addition, among the antibiotics selected to perform the antibiogram, 6 AB are sensitive to Morganella, Enterobacter or 60% vis-à-vis the latter, while 4 AB are sensitive to Escherichia coli and staphylococcus or 40%, on the other hand 3 AB are also sensitive to Citrobacter and klebsiela, ie 30%. But 43 AB used for the antibiogram, 7 are resistant to E. COLI and citrobacter by each one is 70%, on the other hand 90% or 9 AB are resistant against enterobacter and klebsiela either 90% but 8 AB or 80% were also resistant. While 3 AB or 30% had the same action.
Helicobacter pylori and the others since the discovery of H. pylori, several new Helicobacter species have been isolated from man and mainly from animals. Helicobacter species can be broadly grouped according to whether they colonize the gastric or enterohepatic niche. H. pylori is a bacterium of great clinical importance, essentially in the domain of gastroenterology. H. pylori infection is the first chronic infection known to give rise to cancer in man (gastric carcinoma and MALT lymphoma). The pathogenesis of H. pylori is now well studied. Two H. pylori strains have been sequenced: the first one isolated from a patient with gastric ulcer, the second one associated with gastritis. Global analysis of the gene content of H. pylori strains gives insight into the extent of its genetic diversity. Substantial evidence attests to certain extragastric Helicobacter species playing a role in the pathogenesis of enteric, hepatic and bilary disorders, especially for H. hepaticus which have just been sequenced. But isolation of non-pylori Helicobacter species continues to be a major problem, substantially limiting a better understanding of their prevalence and role. Therefore, animal modsels are of interest because of their value for modeling human disease and testing therapeutic strategies such as vaccines.
In order to make Beninese English teachers aware that they have an important part to play in their professional growth, authorities in charge of education have suggested amongst many activities, weekly pedagogical workshops (WPW). These meetings are directed by one or two head-teachers elected by their peers. This paper aims at surveying teachers’ attendance rate, the different programs carried out during the sections, the subjects discussed and the rationale for weekly pedagogical workshop viewed from teachers’ standpoint. To achieve this goal, questionnaires were distributed to twenty (20) teachers, and a series of teachers’ weekly meetings observation was carried out. Experimentation based on classroom observations has been carried out with twenty (20) teachers in Porto-Novo. The results showed that teachers express low interest in the weekly pedagogical workshop. This is shown through the low rate of attendance, due to monotony or lack of innovation in the meeting agendas and the paucity of information and discussion about teachers’ classroom practices.
This joint study on the contribution of support structures to the self-employment of young people stems from the fact that the Burkinabè education system returns graduates each year in search of employment and the number is only increasing year by year. This study aims to assess the impacts of support structures for the self-employment of young people. The human capital theories of Gary (1992), the referentialization theory (ICP) of Figari (1994) and that of Paul Arthur Fortin the measure d served as a basis for this study. The non-probabilistic method and the reasoned choice followed by the non-probabilistic random method made it possible to identify 170 subjects as a sample. The results obtained through this methodology reveal that technical support allows young people to acquire entrepreneurial skills (88.05% business plan preparation and 87.42% in business management) and financial support promotes creation companies (66.67% have created their companies.). This study has shown the importance of the contribution of entrepreneurial support structures, as non-formal education devices to the self-employment of young people.
The local guinea fowl population of Benin is characterized by a diversity of varieties including Bonaparte reared according to different production systems. The study aims to assess the impact of guinea fowl rearing with or without outdoor access on the egg quality. Therefore, 120 fresh new laid eggs collected from 30 weeks old guinea fowl, of which 60 eggs produced under confinement rearing without outdoor access (lot1) and 60 produced under confinement rearing with outdoor access (lot2) were used for the study. The physical, technological and nutritional parameters of each egg were then evaluated by lot. It appears that the production system had significantly affected the egg shell thickness, the shell weight, the yolk diameter, the intensity of the yolk yellowness index, the yolk hue value and the yolk chromacity value, the yolk percentage, the egg shape index and the albumin percentage (P˂0.05). The technological parameters of the eggs were not affected by the production system (p> 0.05). Nutritionally, the eggs of the lot 2 were richer in protein (13.81% vs. 13.24%) and total minerals (0.96% vs. 0.92%) than those from the lot 1 (P˂0, 05). In contrast, the eggs from lot 1 had recorded the highest fat content (11.8% vs. 11.2%; P˂0.05). Significant strong positive correlations were found between the physicochemical and technological parameters of the eggs regardless of the lot (0.81≤ r ≤ 0.97; P <0.001). In conclusion, the breeding of local guinea fowl with herbaceous outdoor access improves the guinea fowl egg quality.
Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare hereditary thrombopathy, mainly responsible for spontaneous mucocutaneous hemorrhages. It is due to a qualitative or quantitative deficiency of the platelet receptor GPIIbIIIa, involved in platelet aggregation. This disease is mostly observed in populations with high consanguinity. The aim of our work is to study the epidemiological, clinical, biological, therapeutic and evolutionary particularities of Glanzmann thrombasthenia in children. A total of 11 patients were diagnosed and followed up in the pediatric hematology-oncology department of the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez, Morocco. The average age at diagnosis was 2 years and 6 months, 81% of the cases were from consanguineous parents, mucocutaneous hemorrhages were the most reported, and the diagnosis of Glanzmann thrombasthenia was confirmed in all cases by aggregometry. Treatment is based mainly on local symptomatic measures and platelet transfusion, activated factor VII is reserved in case of anti-platelet immunization. The evolution is good in all cases, only one death is reported.
Recognizing the dichotomy between innate and acquired gender, this study analyzes the relationships between men and women particularly, in the education sector among young students. This cross-sectional study carried out a questionnaire survey administered to a convenience sample, made up of 380 students from 3 university institutions in Goma, North Kivu, DRC. The themes evaluated concern knowledge towards gender and attitudes towards transdiversity in the training environment. The results show that the majority of respondents (three out of five) admit having perpetrated acts of violence in a university environment during the 12 months of reference. They openly manifest more unequal views of gender promotion. These results illustrate the need to improve the more egalitarian and inclusive learning environment, through awareness raising on positive and hemogenic masculinities in training settings in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Literary imagination is based on space which served as support. Since then, literary space is an indissociable element of other literary elements. The space, according to the fact that it's private or public, reveals itself as the focal point of social interactions. Considering public space in novels, the street appears like a place where several characters of different rank and social class meet themselves. This article proposes the analysis of Cameroonian social streets representation in two novels, namely « Le Cri muet » of Guillaume Nana and « Petit Jo, enfant des rues » of Evelyne Mpoudi Ngollé. It broaches the social image problem of streets in relation to vulnerable persons, particularly street children. The fundamental question to which our analysis tries to respond is: what are the unsympathetic characters of street in contemporary Cameroonian’s novels? It is to demonstrate how the novel writers cited above reproduce, and contradict the social representation of streets in their respective novels. To resolve this problem statement, we convene the socio-poetic approach of Alain Montandon who analyses the manner in which representations and social imaginaries informs the text in its writing. It results from this social apprehension of streets representations in Cameroonian novel that the latter are places where socio-pathies occur. So, they participate to the exclusion of streets children.
Knowledge of the characteristics of upland rice cultivation systems is a lever for the development of rice cultivation in Burkina Faso. This study aims to highlight the typology of upland rice cultivation systems in three localities: East, Hauts Bassins and Central Plateau regions of Burkina Faso. A survey was carried out among a sample of 293 producers in the localities concerned. The Multiple Correspondent Analysis identified three upland cultivation systems: the low-intensive Upland rice cultivation system with rotation (SCRPS1); the Intensive Upland Rice Cultivation System (SCRPS2) and the low-Intensive Upland Rice Cultivation System without rotation (SCRPS3). Elements that make it possible to distinguish the systems are: age, sex, level of education of the farmer, upland rice area, equipment, crop rotation, type, quantity and the number of fertilizers used in upland rice system. The practices of cropping systems differ from one locality to another. In short, the SCRPS1 type is the most practiced by producers and the SCRPS2 type with a high yield (2759.04 kg / ha) presents itself as an interesting prospect to promote for rice production generating income for an improvement of income women farmers.
The aim of this work is to demonstrate that interphase power regulators (IPR) bring new and interesting ultra-solutions that complement those already taken into account by the FACTS (Flexible Alternative Transmission System) in the resolution of the problems related to the power flow in the AC transmission networks. In order to facilitate the understanding of this work, a comparative study of the performances of the two technologies between the UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) and RPI was carried out and at the end of which we were able to highlight the preponderance of RPI compared to the UPFC in the bypassing of the short-circuit fault insofar as the latter allows, in particular, an increase in the transformation capacity without an increase in the level of the short-circuit. The decoupled watt-var method has been used to control the UPFC while the RPI is controlled by phase shift. The simulation results are obtained in the Matlab Simulink environment and show the flexibility of the RPI compared to the UPFC in limiting strong contingencies.
The analyzes carried out in this work relate to the biostratigraphy and paleotemperature, offshore geological formations of the Ivorian sedimentary basin. They are based on the study of 117 cuttings samples from the N1 and N2 wells. These analyzes led to a paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The main stratigraphic species of nannofossils allowed a local nannostratigraphic scale of the upper part of the Campanian and the late Maastrichtian and of the Maastrichtian Danian passage. In the different wells, the qualitative and quantitative analyzes show that at the Cretaceous / Paleogene limit, the nannofossil populations disappear with nearly 100% of their diversity and their overall numbers. However, we note that there was a slight warming in the Lower Maastrichtian followed by a cooling of the waters in the early Tertiary (Paleocene). The renewal of nannofossils does not begin until the Danian after the extinction resulting from the K / Pg crisis. In the wells, the sudden extinction (accompanied by a drop in CaCO3) and the mode of renewal of nannofossils indicate a catastrophic event at the end of the Cretaceous.
The contemporary economic history of Morocco shows a strong aspiration to convert towards industry as a growth catalyst. Since it gained its independence, considerable efforts were made by the ambitious governments of the country to embark on this adventurous path. The automotive industry has been part of this vision since the very beginning. This paper suggests to trace back in time the path taken by the kingdom in the development of its automotive activity. The main aim is to evaluate the competitive position of Morocco based on Porter's diamond model which allows the identification of competitive advantages as well as obstacles that still hinder the industry’s progress. First, through a methodological approach mainly based on an in depth documentary research and an analysis following a chronological timeline, this contribution provides a historical overview of the Moroccan experience. Then, the diagnosis made using the diamond’s parameters offers a clear vision of the present situation and therefore spontaneously suggests reflection about the potential evolution perspectives to be considered. In fact, efforts made by Moroccan authorities to promote the country as an investment destination are undeniable. However, they are still not enough to build strong competitive advantages which cannot be easily imitated by competitors.
The rapid spread of the COVID19 virus surprised most of the world's public health specialists and pushed various countries to adopt palliative measures. These measures ranged from total containment, to the elimination of physical contact between people and the use of ICTs to follow up infected cases. Many IT solutions have been developed everywhere else, if they have been able to provide answers in the countries where they have unfortunately been implemented for Cameroon, they do not seem suitable. Faced with this situation, our article proposes a cartographic management system to respond in the future to different types of infectious diseases, it is therefore based on the “divide and conquer” paradigm and the concepts of cartography to guarantee effective management of disease. A system that takes into account the specifics of Cameroon's response to Covid-19. This system is built in an environment integrating the use of mobile techniques, in particular Bluetooth technologies and mobile geographic information systems, in order to allow the monitoring of patients and the traceability of the evolution of the disease; this platform also offers a framework for consultation between patients and medical specialists for the sharing of experience in order to limit the spread of the virus present.
Turraea heterophylla Smith (Meliaceae) is a species used in Ivorian’s traditional for its antimalarial and aphrodisiac properties. The objectives of this study are the phytochemical screening, the determination of polyphenols and flavonoids present in the leaves and the determination of the antibacterial activity of the methanolic extract of the leaves. The screening phytochemical was carried out using chemical characterization tests. The determination of total polyphenols and total flavonoids was carried out using a spectrophotomer. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (CIP 54127AF) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CIP 103467). Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of polyterpenes, steroids, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The assay indicates a very high concentration of flavonoids and polyphenols in the ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts. In terms of biological tests, the study indicates that the methanolic extract of the leaves of T. heterophylla has bacteriostatic properties against the germs tested with MIC values greater than 3000 µg / mL.
The study aims to characterize the demographic structure of the vegetation of the protected forest Baban Rafi located in the department Madarounfa 50 km south of Maradi. The data were collected based on a forest inventory in 105 plots of 1000 m² installed on 17 transects varying in length from 1 to 5 km. Data analysis has established the list of plants, species diversity, the horizontal structure, vertical structure, and regeneration of woody plants. A total of 52 woody species distributed in 40 genera and 21 families were inventoried. The best-represented families are respectively the Combretaceae and Fabaceae-Mimosoideae. The most important species are Guiera senegalensis, Combretum micranthum, and Combretum nigricans. The average density of woody species (994.86 ± 343.71 individuals / ha) and that of regeneration (17,092.95 ± 10,431.80 seedlings / ha) indicate a good regeneration capacity of the forest. The values of the index of Shannon and evenness Pielou are 3.8 bits and 0.68 bits respectively. The diameter structures of the woody stand and those of the dominant species show a concentration of young individuals of the class from 5 to 10 m. Those in height show a predominance of individuals of heights between 1 and 5 m. These results provide additional information on the current state of woody stands in the Baban Rafi forest and can be used in biodiversity conservation and the management of protected forests in Niger.
The objective of this study was to perform triphytochemistry and to evaluate the effect of aqueous (AqE) and hydroethanol (EthE) extracts of Spathodeae campanulata on blood glucose and pancreatitis markers in streptozotocin (STZ) -induced diabetic male rats. S. campanulata P. beauv, is a plant belonging to the Bignoniaceae family which is traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes, malaria and schistosomiasis. In a first step, we performed triphytochemistry of the extracts which showed that the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of the barks are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, saponosides, alkaloids, sterol-polyterpenes, tannins but relatively poor in quinones. In a second phase, this study consisted in evaluating the effects on glycaemia and markers of pancreatitis of AqE and EthE of S. campanulata administered to 46 male rats of the Wistar strain divided into 9 batches of four male rats made diabetic each by intraperitoneal injection of a single dose of 60 mg/kg/bw of STZ. After 28 days of treatment with 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg/bw of S. campanulata AqE and EthE, blood glucose, alpha amylase and lipase activities were significantly decreased with both extracts.
Given the climatic variability of recent years, characterized by numerous pockets of drought in the western zone of Burkina Faso, the application of zaï technology could be an alternative to cope with rainfall deficits. With this in mind, a zaï trial was set up at the INERA station in Farako-Bâ in a completely randomized Fisher block design with seven (7) treatments, including T0 (no zaï+compost+MD), T1 (zaï 15 cm+compost), T2 (20 cm+ compost), T3 (zaï 30 cm+ compost), T4 (zaï 15 cm + compost +MD), T5 (zaï 20 cm + compost +MD), T6 (zaï 30 cm + compost +MD). The parameters observed were the size of the zaï holes and the maize yield. The results show that treatments T5 (zaï 20 cm + compost +MD) and T6 (zaï 30 cm + compost +MD) have respectively the best performances in terms of grain yield (2.69 t/ha and 2.68 t/ha) and straw yield (4.1 t/ha and 3.6 t/ha). The results of this study show that zai technology associated with micro-dosing of fertilizer can be adapted in the South Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso and can be a means of adaptation to increasingly difficult rainfall conditions marked by pockets of drought. zaï holes with diameters of 20 and 30 cm increase maize crop yields.
In the Moroccan education sector, the Ministry of National Education has set aside significant budgets for in-service teacher training. In recent years, by committing to the Digital Morocco programme, and while trying to overcome some of the constraints associated with face-to-face training, a new system of in-service distance training has been implemented. Given the interest that evaluation represents for the maintenance and improvement of the quality of a training system, we have opted, in a research, to evaluate the techno-pedagogical modality of an in-service teacher training system. In order to collect the information, we first administered an online questionnaire to the teachers participating in an online in-service training, and then we adopted an ergonomic evaluation grid in accordance with the model of Bastien & Scapin (1997). Despite the satisfaction of the majority of participants with the ease of navigation, some difficulties were noted at the technical, cognitive and organisational levels.
