Neurodevelopment and Associated Factors in Preterm Infants Who Received Kangaroo Mother Care: A 12-Month Follow-Up.
No full textpeer reviewedAIM: Document the predictive factors for neurodevelopment up to the corrected age of 12 months for infants who received Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC).
METHODS: In total, 91 preterm infants and their 78 mothers were included in the study. Maternal symptoms, maternal compliance with KMC practices and infant characteristics and development were recorded.
RESULTS: Compared with formula and mixed milk, breast milk was associated with better developmental outcomes in locomotor (ß = 19.38, t = 4.21, p < 0.001), personal-social (ß = 19.39, t = 5.43, p < 0.001), hearing and speech (ß = 14.1, t = 3.6, p < 0.001), eye and hand coordination (ß = 17.31, t = 4.53, p < 0.001) and performance (ß = 11.21, t = 2.77, p = 0.006) subscales of the Griffith Mental Development Scales. However, the daily skin-to-skin contact (SSC) duration was negatively related to the locomotor (ß = -5.17, t = -2.04, p = 0.046), personal-social (ß = -4.92, t = -2.85, p = 0.007), hearing and speech (ß = -4.88, t = -2.63, p = 0.012), eye and hand coordination (ß = -4.77, t = -2.43, p = 0.018), and performance (ß = -5.67, t = -2.92, p = 0.007) subscales. The negative effect of SSC duration was moderated by the severity of maternal depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Promoting breast milk and treating maternal depression could contribute to positive neurodevelopment in preterm infants.La Méthode Mère Kangourou à l'épreuve des difficultés psychologiques du postpartum3. Good health and well-bein
Utilisation de 14 Ans de Données Satellite pour Décrire la Circulation Hydrodynamique des Golfes de Patras et de Corinthe
Get PDFpeer reviewedIn the absence of in situ data, remote sensing becomes one of the most effective
methods for analyzing the hydrodynamics of a basin. In the Gulf of Corinth, the lack of
in situ information was addressed using 14 years of satellite data from the Copernicus
database to investigate the water circulation dynamics of the Gulfs of Patras and Corinth.
The combination of satellite observations and Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal
Function (DINEOF) methods produced comprehensive maps detailing the hydrodynamic
patterns in both gulfs. Despite the paucity of some parts of the datasets, the remaining data
revealed key hydrodynamic features through their observations. From the western Patras
Gulf to the eastern Corinth Gulf, gyres were the dominant features. The Patras Gulf is
primarily characterized by a cyclonic gyre, while the Rio–Antirio Strait, which connects the
two gulfs, exhibits unique dynamics due to internal wave activity and upwelling events.
Currents generated near the strait flow toward the Corinth Gulf, where they are mostly
trapped in an anticyclonic gyre near Itea Bay and a cyclonic gyre near Antikyra Bay. Our
analysis highlights the unique dynamics of enclosed gulfs connected to the open sea via
a strait. In this case, the Corinth Gulf acts as a smaller-scale analog to the Mediterranean
Sea, offering insights into similar hydrodynamic behaviors. The updated hydrodynamic
data also improve our understanding of sediment transport pathways and the chlorophyll
distribution under present and past conditions
Local product cooperatives in Morocco: levers for the spatial gender justice
Get PDFMalgré leurs contributions cruciales au développement territorial, les femmes rurales subissent encore une assignation sociale et spatiale dans les espaces ruraux, où elles sont confrontées à une double discrimination : d’une part en raison de leur sexe, et d’autre part en raison de leur espace de vie. De nombreuses femmes rurales sont partagées entre le travail domestique et agricole. Cependant, et bien que leurs activités soient essentielles, elles sont rarement valorisées et reconnues comme un travail productif, ce qui limite les retombées socio-économiques positives sur leur situation.
Dans ce contexte, notre thèse explore les dynamiques sociales et spatiales de la justice de genre, en mettant l’accent sur les spécificités des territoires ruraux marocains. Elle analyse les incidences de la promotion des produits locaux sur la justice spatiale de genre, en mobilisant des approches théoriques issues de la géographie, mais aussi de la philosophie et des études de genre. L’objectif principal est d’identifier les mécanismes de la justice spatiale de genre et de proposer des pistes d’action concrètes et coconstruites pour le renforcement de cette justice. Pour ce faire, une approche qualitative humaniste et comparative a été adoptée, combinant des entretiens semi-directifs, des groupes de discussions et des observations liées à la valorisation de deux différents territoires et produits (le fromage de chèvre de Chefchaouen et les plantes aromatiques et médicinales de Tétouan).
Les résultats montrent que les produits locaux fournissent des outils susceptibles de renforcer la justice spatiale de genre, comme les coopératives, mais que toutes les femmes n’en bénéficient pas de manière équitable. Malgré les effets positifs de certaines coopératives, de nombreuses femmes rencontrent encore des injustices, que nous avons analysées à partir de trois échelles territoriales : le ménage, la filière agricole et le territoire. Au sein des ménages, la répartition sexualisée des tâches se fait au détriment de l’accès des femmes aux bien premiers et aux capabilités. Au niveau agricole, la place des femmes change d’une filière à l’autre, voire d’une coopérative à l’autre. Au niveau des territoires, les hommes sont considérés comme supérieurs. Cette situation justifie la nécessité d’adopter une démarche holistique et intégrée, tenant compte des différents volets de la vie des femmes et des différentes échelles territoriales dans lesquelles elles sont impliquées.Au niveau théorique, cette thèse contribue à enrichir les débats sur la justice, en proposant un cadre conceptuel intégré et en introduisant le concept de justice spatiale de genre. Au niveau pratique, elle offre une base d’analyse et des outils opérationnels susceptibles d’améliorer l’action des acteurs de développement. Elle propose également des pistes d’actions susceptibles de renforcer la justice spatiale de genre, en s’appuyant sur une démarche ascendante et participative.Despite their crucial contribution to territorial development, rural women still suffer from the subjection of rural spaces, where they face double discrimination: on the one hand, because of their gender, and on the other hand, because of their living space. Many rural women are divided between domestic and agricultural work. Although their activities are essential, they are rarely valued and recognized as productive work, which limits the positive socio-economic impacts on their situation.
In this context, our thesis explores the social and spatial dynamics of gender justice, focusing on the specificities of Moroccan rural territories. It offers an intersectional analysis of the impact of the promotion of local products on spatial gender justice, mobilizing theoretical approaches from geography philosophy and gender studies. The main objective is to identify the mechanisms of spatial gender justice and to propose concrete and co-constructed action plants to strengthen this justice. A humanistic and comparative qualitative approach was adopted, combining semi-structured interviews, focus groups and observations related to promoting two territories and products (Chefchaouen goat cheese and Tétouan aromatic and medicinal plants).
The results show that local products provide tools that can strengthen spatial gender justice, such as cooperatives, but that not all women benefit equally. Despite the positive effects of some cooperatives, many women still encounter injustices, which we have analyzed through three territorial scales: the household, the agricultural value chain and the territory. Within households, the division of labor is detrimental to women’s access to primary goods and capabilities. In agriculture, women’s position changes from one value chain to another, and even from one cooperative to another. At the territory level, men are considered superior. This situation justifies the need to adopt a holistic and integrated approach, considering the different dimensions of women’s lives and the different territorial scales in which they are involved.
At the theoretical level, this thesis contributes to enriching debates on justice by proposing an integrated conceptual framework and introducing the concept of spatial gender justice. At the practical level, it offers an analytical basis and operational tools likely to improve the action of development actors. It also suggests action plans to strengthen spatial gender justice based on a bottom-up and participatory approach.على الرغم من مساھمتھن الحاسمة في التنمیة المحلیة، لا تزال النساء القرویات یعانین من التمییز الاجتماعي و المجالي في المناطق القرویة، حیث یواجھن تمیی ًزا مزدو ًجا : من ناحیة بسبب جنسھن، ومن ناحیة أخرى بسبب المناطق التي یقمن بھا. تجمع العدید من النساء القرویات بین العمل المنزلي و الفلاحي، وعلى الرغم من أن أنشطتھن أساسیة، إلا أنھ نادراً ما

Advancing non-isocyanate polyurethane foams: exo -vinylene cyclic carbonate–amine chemistry enabling room-temperature reactivity and fast self-blowing
Get PDFpeer reviewedThough widely used, polyurethane foams raise health concerns stemming from their isocyanate precursors. Nonisocyanate polyurethane foams (NIPUFs), synthesized by aminolysis of 5-membered cyclic carbonates, represent safer and more sustainable alternatives. Despite their potential, achieving efficient self-blowing NIPUFs from room temperature (RT) formulations has proven highly challenging, as previous methods rely on external heat sources, prolonged reaction times, or are based on hybrid formulations involving epoxides. In this study, we demonstrate a new concept that makes rapid the production of full NIPUFs (i.e., with exclusive urethane linkages) from RT solvent-free formulations through the incorporation of exovinylene cyclic carbonate (αCC). This approach incorporated hydroxyoxazolidone groups, i.e., cyclic hydroxyurethanes, as pendant groups of the polyhydroxyurethane backbone. We investigated the reactions occurring in this foaming system and identified optimal foaming formulations to rapidly produce the foams within 1-5 min, with a high gel content. The study explored monomer variations as amine mixtures and different αCCs. Compression tests revealed that the foam’s mechanical properties were easily tuned by adapting the formulation composition, giving access to both flexible and rigid foams with pore sizes in the range of conventional PU foams. Moreover, we highlighted the importance of the hydrophilic nature of NIPUFs on their mechanical properties, with a decrease in the Young’s modulus when exposed to increased humidity contents. While these foams, like many NIPUs, exhibit inherent hydrophilicity, this limitation may be addressed through additives or future formulation optimization. Our new concept paves the way for the rapid preparation of the next generation of full isocyanate-free polyurethane foams with modular properties
