Les perceptions des enseignants au sujet de la situation déclenchante en Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT) au Maroc
Get PDFDans cette recherche nous visons explorer les perceptions des enseignants marocains en Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT) concernant les situations déclenchantes et leur utilisation dans leur pratique pédagogique. À travers un questionnaire administré à 138 enseignants des Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre. Les résultats montrent que les situations déclenchantes sont principalement perçues comme des outils pour amorcer l'apprentissage et susciter le questionnement, mais leur mise en œuvre est entravée par des difficultés liées à la gestion du temps, à la planification et à la compréhension de leur intérêt didactique. Bien que la majorité des enseignants adhèrent aux courants constructivistes et socioconstructivistes, des divergences persistent dans la manière dont ils définissent et utilisent ces situations. L'étude souligne la nécessité d'une formation continue pour les enseignants afin d'optimiser l'utilisation des situations déclenchantes et de mieux intégrer ces méthodes dans une séquence d'apprentissage plus large, incluant la structuration et l'évaluation des connaissances.
In this research, we aim to explore the perceptions of Moroccan teachers in Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) regarding triggering situations and their use in their teaching practice. A questionnaire was administered to 138 teachers of Life and Earth Sciences. The results show that triggering situations are mainly perceived as tools to initiate learning and provoke questioning, but their implementation is hampered by difficulties related to time management, planning, and understanding their didactic interest. Although the majority of teachers adhere to constructivist and socio-constructivist currents, divergences persist in the way they define and use these situations. The study highlights the need for continuous training for teachers in order to optimize the use of triggering situations and to better integrate these methods into a broader learning sequence, including the structuring and assessment of knowledge

Statistical analysis of the dissemination of cultural heritage in traditional and social media in Burundi
Get PDFThe objective of this work is to determine the place of cultural heritage in newspapers radio and television broadcasts as well as online media. We analysed metadata from the Conseil National de la Communication (CNC) and Annuaire du Secteur de la Communication et des Médias (ASCM 2019). The choice of these traditional or online radio and television stations is the responsibility of these state structures. Thus, 13 radio stations, including 2 public radio stations and 11 private radio stations dealing with 11397 subjects in the spoken news, are the subject of research. A total of 354 radio program were analyzed. In the online media, 765 articles were posted. The results show that cultural information is relegated to second place in radio and television news and online media. Only 53 cultural items out of a total of 765, i.e. a rate of 0.6%, are relayed online. Jimbere Magazine took the lead with 39 cultural items out of a total of 53 broadcasts on the 13 radio stations, a rate of 73.5%. The political and educational sections attracted more attention from the public and private media, with 160 and 116 items respectively, a rate of 20% and 15%. Out of 11,397 items covered in the news on 13 radio stations broadcasting in Burundi, 11 items relating to cultural heritage were broadcast, accounting for 0.43%
Water Safety and Hygienic Practices of Formal and Informal Food Outlets in Malawi
Get PDFAccess to potable water is one of the most important aspects of ensuring consumer safety in food production. Interventions to improve the quality of drinking water and ensuring hygienic practices provide significant benefits to health. However, the monitoring of water quality and maintaining good hygiene remains a challenge in public food outlets where contamination of water may cause the outbreak of disease. The study aimed at assessing the water safety and hygienic practices of formal and informal food outlets in Malawi Community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted in Nkhotakota district, Malawi. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted to select 384 participating food outlets to assess water safety and hygiene practices. Data were collected through interviews and observational checklists. The study revealed that 31% (n = 384) of the food outlets had poor hygienic practices and half of the food handlers in the food outlets (50%, n = 376) had no knowledge of water contaminations. Furthermore, it was found that 96.6% of the food outlets (n = 384) use untreated water. Based on the findings, it was concluded that water being used was not safe for drinking due to poor hygiene and lack of knowledge by food handlers. Due to poor hygiene and lack of knowledge by food handlers, the study recommends widening the scope of policies in food outlets to provide special periodic orientation sessions to food handlers on sanitation and hygiene followed by evaluation in their respective food outlets. Food outlet owners should take responsibility for ensuring that hygienic conditions are followed at their business premises
Oral Microbiome and Its Role in Oral Lichen Planus Development: A Literature Review
Get PDFThis article aims to explore the oral microbiome, the implications of its dysbiosis and its role in the development of oral lichen planus (OLP) and systemic diseases. This underscores the necessity for additional research to elucidate the connections between oral microorganisms and the pathology of OLP. Furthermore, a deeper understanding of these intricate interactions may pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies and improved disease management. An electronic search was conducted using PubMed and Scopus, complemented by a manual review of the reference lists of the identified articles for full-text evaluation. Initially, titles and abstracts were assessed, followed by a comprehensive review of pertinent articles for potential inclusion. The human body hosts a diverse array of microorganisms that can influence both health and illness. Recent progress in genomic technologies, including next-generation sequencing, has significantly improved our comprehension of these microbial communities and their impact on human health. Importantly, cancer, currently the second leading cause of death worldwide, has been associated with specific oral pathogens. Certain bacterial species, such as Helicobacter pylori and various oral periopathogens, have been linked to the development of cancers, especially in the gastrointestinal system. Elevated levels of bacterial populations, including C. sputigena, E. corrodens, L. crispatus, M. curtisii, N. mucosa, P. bivia, P. intermedia, S. agalactiae and S. haemolyticus, have been identified in the lesions associated with oral lichen planus. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that individuals with oral lichen planus demonstrated increased infection rates of A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, T. forsythia and T. denticola when compared to those without oral lichen planus. Oral lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the oral mucosa, is marked by T cell-mediated immune responses and is frequently correlated with microbial dysbiosis. OLP is classified as a precancerous condition, underscoring the importance of monitoring and investigating its microbial influences

Radionuclide diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum: A case report
Get PDFIntroduction: Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital anomaly of the small intestine that results from the incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct (omphalomesenteric duct). The most common symptom leading a patient to the emergency department is painless gastrointestinal bleeding. The most sensitive diagnostic test is the Meckel radionuclide scan using 99mTc-pertechnetate, commonly known as the Meckel scan. This case report presents an 18-year-old patient who came into the emergency department with gastrointestinal bleeding and was diagnosed with Meckel's diverticulum using Meckel scan. Methodology and Discussion: An 18-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with hematochezia, several days of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. After clinical assessment and objective examination, several tests were conducted, all of which returned normal results. The clinical suspicion pointed towards Meckel's diverticulum. The diagnosis was confirmed with a simple examination: scintigraphy, a nuclear imaging method in which technetium-99m is injected and absorbed by the mucous-producing cells of the ectopic gastric mucosa. The patient underwent laparotomy and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Conclusion: Scintigraphy is the appropriate diagnostic modality in cases of unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding when Meckel's diverticulum is suspected. This radionuclide scan has very high specificity and sensitivity when performed according to protocol. Additionally, it is a low-cost examination with lower radiation exposure compared to other imaging modalities
