La présente étude a pour objectif d’évaluer les connaissances sur les moyens de prévention et de dépistage du VIH/sida des para médicaux de l’hôpital général de référence de N’djili dans la ville de Kinshasa en RDC. Il s’agit d’une étude descriptive transversale, réalisée durant la période allant du 01 Janvier au 30 juin 2012. Les résultats obtenus avaient montré dans plus de la moitié des enquêtés que l’acquisition des connaissances sur le VIH/sida, la part de l’institution de formation étaient très remarquée chez les enquêtés. La variante école et séminaire a été mis en évidence chez 23,6 % de la population interviewée. Cette étude nous a permis de déterminer le niveau des connaissances des paramédicaux de l’Hôpital Général de Référence de N’djili/ Kinshasa, elle nous a permis également de voir comment ces enquêtés ne sont pas suffisamment informés sur les mesures de prévention de VIH/sida qui est la pandémie du siècle.

The current study aims at exploring the socio-political ideologies in the speech of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the perspective of war situation between Gaza and Israel. The study’s objectives are to highlight the socio-political ideologies of Israeli Prime Minister (henceforth PM). The findings show that the speaker has used different linguistic forms such as noun, pronouns, verb, adverbs and adjectives; rhetorical devices such as number game and hyperbole to construct the discursive strategies such as actor description, authority, burden, national self-glorification, victimization and lexicalization. PM used these linguistic forms, rhetorical devices, and discursive strategies to propagate his ideologies to represent in-group positively and out-group negatively. PM Benjamin Netanyahu made frequent use of actor description, number game, burden and authority and he also showed in-group positively to show his country position. He targeted the peace, terrorism, war negotiation & agreement and global & diplomatic position on war situation.

Mpox may rarely present with acute peritonitis, as illustrated in this adolescent girl.In endemic or outbreak settings, clinicians should include Mpox in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are crucial to prevent morbidity and improve outcomes.

Antenatal care (ANC) is essential for early detection of pregnancy complications. The WHO recommends an initial visit before 12 weeks of gestation. However, in sub-Saharan Africa, many women initiate care late, often after the fourth month of pregnancy, compromising the expected benefits. A narrative review was conducted using a literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Hinari, including articles published between 2002 and 2022, in English and French. Frequency of late ANC use: 81.6% of women who initiated ANC late were aged 20 to 34 years, 61.75% had a parity of 2 to 4, 97.87% were married, and 60.4% had a secondary education. Coverage: 56.47% of women who had ≥ 4 antenatal consultations started them late, compared to only 14.42% who had ≥ 4 early consultations. ; Factors associated with delay: Residence in a rural area (OR = 2.156); lack of education (OR = 3.24); age ≥ 25 years (OR = 1.62); unplanned pregnancy (OR = 2.16); monthly income ≤ 1000 ETB (≈ 50 USD) (OR = 1.77); lack of knowledge of the start date of ANC (OR = 1.8); multigravity (OR = 2.575). Delay in the first ANC is common and multifactorial. Targeted interventions are needed, particularly in the areas of education, family planning, community awareness and improvement of the quality of services. The most vulnerable women (poorly educated, elderly, multiparous) must be given special attention in public health policies to reduce maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa

The present study explores the socio-political ideologies reflected in the speech of Chief Ismael Haniyeh within the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The primary objective is to highlight the socio-political ideologies he embodies. The findings reveal that he employs various linguistic forms—such as nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives—and rhetorical devices, including number games and hyperbole to construct discursive strategies like actor description, appeals to authority, the burden of responsibility, national self-glorification, victimization, and lexicalization. These strategies are used to promote their respective ideologies, portraying the in-group positively and the out-group negatively. Comparative analysis shows that Chief Ismael Haniyeh more frequently employs discursive devices such as actor description, authority, burden, number games, national self-glorification, lexicalization, and exaggeration. In contrast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more prominently uses actor description, number games, burden, and appeals to authority. While both leaders depict their in-group in a positive light, Chief Ismael Haniyeh consistently portrays the out-group negatively, whereas Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu focuses more on positive representation of the in-group. Overall, the analysis reveals that the two leaders hold opposing ideological positions on key issues such as peace, terrorism, war negotiations, agreements, and their respective global and diplomatic stances.

Context/objectives: The fight against Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is a long-term undertaking, which requires available, motivated and well-managed human resources (HR). The administrative management of skills on both qualitative and quantitative levels is one of the essential functions of a health system. To better implement policies of fight against High Blood Pressure (HBP) and other chronic diseases, it is important to establish strategies to retain health personnel. This loyalty requires favorable working conditions and consideration of the contribution-reward couple. Good working conditions are likely to reduce the phenomenon of medical nomadism; conversely, poor HR management can contribute to their exodus towards exotic “green pastures”, thus leading to an additional crisis in the Cameroonian health system. The fight against HBP is a complex, multifaceted and multifactorial reality that requires appropriate management model for all types of resources mainly HR. The main objective of this research is to show the impact of poor management of human resources in Cameroon health system on medical nomadism and the ineffectiveness of the fight against High Blood Pressure. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive survey among five hundred (500) health facilities in the center region of Cameroon has been conducted. A stratified probabilistic technique has been used, and the number of health facilities to be surveyed has been determined using the “sample size estimation table” of Depelteau. The physical questionnaires have been printed and then distributed to data collectors. After data collection, the latter were grouped during processing in Excel sheets. The Chi-square test was used for data with a qualitative value and that of Kolmogorov-Sminorf for data with a quantitative value to assess the normality and reliability of data. The Crochach’s Alpha reliability test allowed us to have a summary of the means and variances and then to search for intragroup correlations between variables. Descriptive analysis was possible with the XLSTAT 2016 software. Results: 43.60% of Health Facilities (HF) managers were unqualified. 82.20% of HF managers have staff in a situation of professional insecurity. They are mainly contractual (49.00), decision-making agents (24.40%), casual agents (08.80). The proportion of unstable personnel is average of 22.00% and very unstable, 12.00%.

The still high water loss in PDAM Tirta Daroy which reached 34.50% and the disruption of the only raw water source, namely the Krueng Aceh River, became an important issue that disrupted clean water services to the community. This research is a case study by conducting data analysis and interviews to determine the quality, continuity, and quantity of clean water from PDAM Tirta Daroy in the District Meter Area (DMA) Darussalam. In data processing using descriptive method. The results showed that after the Gampong Darussalam DMA Program was carried out at the end of December 2018, positive results were obtained as indicated by the water sold increased by 33%, the average water consumption per house connection increased by 30%, the number of active customers increased by 1.09%, Revenue increased 29.96%, Non Revenue Water (NRW) or water loss decreased by 13%, water pressure in pipelines increased 16 times and the number of customer complaints decreased. However, different results are shown in the field data collection carried out 2 years later (October 2021) where the water loss increased again to 40.80%, close to the figure before the DMA program was implemented. Good technical planning is not enough, PDAM Tirta Daroy must also have non-technical plans for the implementation of DMA, such as related to the structure in charge of the District Meter Area, funding budget plan, Standard Operating Procedures, and more detailed targets for reducing water loss every year, so that a good plan can be operated and executed properly as well. Keywords : PDAM Tirta Daroy, DMA Darussalam, water loss
