Epidémiologie de la trypanosomose animale africaine (TAA) à l\u27Ouest de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC)
No full textA literature review of the epidemiology of AAT in west of DRC was conducted. Regarding the trypanosomes, studies have shown the absence of trypanosomes in N’Dama catle at Kolo in Central Kongo, but at Mushie in Mayi Ndombe, trypanosomes have been demonstrated in N’Dama cattle, with prevalence of T. vivax, followed by T. congolense and T. brucei brucei; in pigs of Kinshasa, T. simiae, T. vivax, T. congolense and to a lesser extent, T. brucei brucei and T. brucei gambiense have been identified; in Central Kongo, T. congolense, T. vivax and T. brucei brucei were isolated in goats of Kimpika, Kasangulu, Kimpungi and Sanda; and T. congolense Savannah, T. congolense Forest, T. brucei and T. vivax in Glosina palpalis palpalis to Kimpese. In term of tsetse flies, the authors identified G. tabaniformis and G. fuscipes at Mushie in Mayi Ndombe and at Idiofa in Kwilu, G. fuscipes quanzensis has been made evident in Kinshasa; G. palpalis palpalis was caught to Nomgwa, Kamba, Kimpese and Kolo in Central Kongo. A national progam against the AAT must be implemented to achieve control this disease to avoid economic losses to livestock producers.
Keywords: AAT, DRC.Une revue de littérature sur l’épidémiologie de la TAA à l’Ouest de la RDC a été réalisée. Concernant les trypanosomes, les études menées ont prouvé l’inexistence des trypanosomes chez les bovins N’dama à Kolo au Kongo Central, par contre à Mushie dans le Mayi Ndombe, les trypanosomes ont été mis en évidence chez les bovins N’dama, avec prédominance de T. vivax, suivie de T. congolense et de T. brucei brucei; chez les porcins de Kinshasa, T. simiae, T. vivax, T. congolense, et dans une moindre mesure, T. brucei brucei et T. brucei gambiense ont été identifiés; au Kongo Central, T. congolense, T. vivax et T. brucei brucei ont été isolés chez les caprins à Kimpika, Kasangulu, Kimpungi et Sanda; ainsi que T. congolense Savannah, T. brucei, T. congolense Forest et T. vivax chez Glossina palpalis palpalis à Kimpese. Pour ce qui est des glossines, les auteurs ont identifié G. tabaniformis et G. fuscipes à Mushie dans le Mayi Ndombe et à Idiofa au Kwilu, G. fuscipes quanzensis à été mis à évidence à Kinshasa, et G. palpalis palpalis a été capturé à Nomgwa, Kamba, Kimpese et Kolo au Kongo Central. Un programme national de lutte contre la TAA devra être mis en place pour parvenir à contrôler cette pathologie pour éviter des pertes économiques aux éleveurs.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Origine et étapes historiques de la profession vétérinaire en République Démocratique du Congo
Get PDFIn the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the first vocational training at the secondary level started in 1951 in Butembo (North Kivu), then in Sandoa (Lualaba), Loda (Bas-Uele) and Bolombo (Equateur). It was not until 1968 that the first Faculty of Veterinary Medicine opened its doors at the Official University of the Congo (UOC) in Lubumbashi, 207 years after the Lyon School. The second Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was opened at the Catholic University of Graben (UCG) in Butembo in 1989, 23 years after Lubumbashi. Two other Faculties will be created later in Kinshasa, more precisely at the National Pedagogical University (UPN) (2005) and at the University of Kinshasa (UNIKIN) (2009). In the DRC, Veterinary Doctors are almost men (90.1%) against 9.9% of women. Most of them (87.4%) are trained in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Lubumbashi, while 6.4% of them are trained in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University Catholic of Graben, 5.1% to that of the National Pedagogical University and 1% to that of the University of Kinshasa. The density of Veterinary Doctors is only 3.10-5/Km2, with disparities according to the Provinces. With this very insignificant density, we should not really hope to properly develop a country with an agro-pastoral vocation like the DRC. 29 years after the creation of the Association of Veterinary Doctors of the DRC (AMVC), a dynamic from the Congress of the AMVC which was held in Kinshasa in September 2016, led to the creation of the National Order of Veterinary Doctors of the Democratic Republic of Congo by Law No. 18/029 of December 13, 2018 establishing, organizing and operating the National Order of Veterinary Doctors, which is working to revitalize the profession in the country. We therefore suggest that the Congolese government invest enough in the veterinary sector.

Nous suggérons ainsi au Gouvernement congolais d’investir suffisamment dans le secteur Vétérinaire.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
