Utilisations et importance socio-économique des cuirs et peaux en Afrique de l’ouest
No full textEn Afrique de l'Ouest, les cuirs et peaux, sous-produits animaux, représentent une véritable manne économique. Cette synthèse met en lumière l'importance de la filière cuirs et peaux, tant sur le plan socio-économique que culturel. La méthodologie employée a consisté en l'analyse d'articles scientifiques publiés sur le sujet. L’Afrique contribue à hauteur de 8 à 14 % à la production mondiale de cuirs et peaux mais reste marginale dans le commerce international. Cependant, les dépouilles des animaux, au-delà, de leur importance dans les échanges commerciaux, trouvent une multitude d'usages, de la décoration intérieure à l'habillement, en passant même dans l'alimentation humaine dans les sociétés africaines. La production, la collecte, la transformation et l'exportation des cuirs et peaux emploient plusieurs millions de personnes. Bien que souvent menées de manière traditionnelle et informelle, ces activités constituent une source de devises étrangères et un pilier essentiel des moyens d'existence en milieux rural et urbain. Pourtant, ces activités font face à des défis de techniques de production et de collecte archaïques, un manque de formalisation et une pollution environnementale liée aux tanneries. Ces défis entravent le développement de la filière cuirs et peaux.

Collaborative Governance in the Development of Sowan Beach Tourism in Bancar District
No full textThis article aims to find out how the forms of coastal tourism development are Sowan Beach, Bancar-Tuban District, East Java. The focus of the problem from this research is that in the process of developing Sowan beach tourism carried out by Perhutani Jatirogo with the village community around the tour, it is not in accordance with what is expected. In order to analyze this problem, the author uses the reference theory from Ansell and Gash and Agranoff and Mc. Guire. The data in this study were collected using interview techniques through informants and supported by a literature study for interview data, and in this study were analyzed qualitatively. In this study, it can be concluded that the collaborative governance process that occurred at Sowan Beach took place unequally with the Abstinence model. It was emphasized that the Perhutani party did not involve and pay attention to the Bogorejo Village community regarding tourism development. This is supported by the empirical fact that in making decisions on tourism development on Sowan Beach it is only carried out by the Jatirogo forestry party without involving the Bogorejo village community. The aspirations of the community for the development of the Sowan beach tourism village are not accommodated to the maximum. So that the existence of Sowan Beach has not been able to provide optimal benefits for the welfare and quality of life of the people of Bogorejo Village, Tuban, East Java
The effectiveness of police driver training on attitudes, beliefs and skills
No full textThe research undertook an analysis of the effectiveness of police driver training in the
development of appropriate driver attitudes and skills in terms of the objectives of the
training. The research focused upon the Standard/Response course of the Essex
Police. Trainees attitudes and skill, levels were measured at the beginning and after
each phase of training. An assessment of the stability and longevity of attitudes and
skill levels was made 3-10 months after the training. In addition, the influence of
police driving instructors and police recruitment policy on the development of
attitudes was made. From the research, an evaluation has also been made of the
effectiveness of different methods of researching and measuring an individual's
attitude towards a particular behaviour, having used direct, semi-direct, and indirect
methods of attitude measurement

miR-106b suppresses pathological retinal angiogenesis
No full textMicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. We recently demonstrated that levels of miR-106b were significantly decreased in the vitreous and plasma of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here we show that expression of the miR-106b-25 cluster is negatively regulated by the unfolded protein response pathway of protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK) in a mouse model of neovascular AMD. A reduction in levels of miR-106b triggers vascular growth both in vivo and in vitro by inducing production of pro-angiogenic factors. We demonstrate that therapeutic delivery of miR-106b to the retina with lentiviral vectors protects against aberrant retinal angiogenesis in two distinct mouse models of pathological retinal neovascularization. Results from this study suggest that miRNAs such as miR-106b have the potential to be used as multitarget therapeutics for conditions characterized by pathological retinal angiogenesis. © 2020 Ménard et al.
