QIPs Financing of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and Agriculture: Case of the Commune of Bourem Sidi Amar in the Timbuktu Region of Mali

The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of QIPs funding from the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) on the yields per hectare of certain crops and on the incomes of farmers in the commune. of Bourem Sidi Amar in the region of Timbuktu in Mali.Data collected through questionnaires from 52 QIPS-funded farmers were analyzed quantitatively and information was summarized using averages in tables.The one-sample t-test was used to compare yields per hectare and the average benchmark yield per crop. The paired-samples t-test was also used to compare farm operator incomes before and after funding.At the 5% significance level, our results show that the average yields per hectare of rice, wheat, onion, and anise crops are higher than the average reference yields of these same crops per hectare. This means that the average yields of these crops increased after the financing. The average income after funding is higher than the average income before funding. So the farmer's income increased after the financing.The results of this study could help MUNISMA and the Malian State to strengthen their participation in economic recovery in areas affected by the security crisis and may constitute an interesting contribution to the scientific literature.

Analysis of the Impact of the Personal Finances of the Promoter on the Cash Flow of His High School: Case of Mali

The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the personal finances of the promoter of a high school on the cash-flow of his establishment. A multiple linear regression model was used to analyze data collected from 53 randomly selected private high schools at the right bank academy in Bamako.Our results show that on the one hand, the promoter’s personal expenses and investments have a negative impact on the high school’s cash flow, personnel costs and running costs ; on the other hand, the budgetary management, the incomes and the relationship with the promoter’s personal bank have a positive impact on them.The results of this study could help high school promoters to find a balance between managing their high school’s cash-flow and their personal finances. They could also contribute to the scientific literature on the subject. Keywords: Private high school, Treasury, Personal finance, Promoter DOI: 10.7176/EJBM/15-10-01 Publication date:May 31st 202

Prevalence and characteristics of accidental perineal tears during childbirth in a communal medical center in Guinea-Conakry: a cross-sectional study

Background: Prevalence studies are still rare in sub-Saharan Africa on perineal tears. We conducted this cross-sectional study in a communal hospital in Guinea-Conakry, with the objective of this study was to determining the prevalence and characteristics of post-obstetric perineal lesions.Methods: All deliveries between March 1st and August 31st, 2014 were reviewed. We included in the analysis all the single deliveries with perineal tears. The Anglo-Saxon classification of perineal tears was used.Results: The prevalence of perineal tears was 5.7% with 5.4% benign lesions and 0.3% severe lesions. We did not register 4th degree lesions. The average age of parturient was 22 years. The majority (96.6%) of parturient had a history of genital mutilation and perineal scarring (60.3%).Conclusions: This prevalence appear low compared to those reported in other studies in Africa and point to the need for more sophisticated studies to have a better estimate of the prevalence of perineal tears in Guinea-Conakry

Empirical analysis of the relationship between Supply Chain Management and business performance: Case of companies in the cotton sector in Mali.

As part of a national policy favoring the local processing of agricultural products, several companies have been created in the cotton sector in Mali. According to the 2014 report of the National Council of the Malian Patronage, several Malian companies have difficulties in terms of performance. The reasons for this insufficiency are: (difficult access to financing, poor management, poor quality of products, lack of information, etc.). We can summarize this situation by a lack of practices in Supply Chain Management. The objective of this section was to empirically evaluate the impact of supply chain management on the performance of companies operating in the cotton sector in Mali. We favored an approach that links four SCM practices across a variety of dimensions of performance. In our methodology, we used an econometric regression analysis. At the end of this study, it should be remembered that the practices of the management of the supplier relationship and the exchange and sharing of information constitute the two most productive supply chain management practices in the cotton sector in Mali. In addition, among the dimensions of performance considered, financial performance and customer satisfaction are the two most sensitive variants of SCM practices.

Évaluation du Risque Cardiovasculaire Absolu Chez les Patients Hémodialysés Diabétiques et Non diabétiques au Centre National d’Hémodialyse de Donka Conakry

Le risque cardiovasculaire chez les hémodialysés semble varier en fonction du statut diabétique ainsi que d’autres facteurs associés et constitue un problème de santé publique en Afrique en général et particulièrement en Guinée. Dans ce sens, l’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer le risque de survenue d’une pathologie cardiovasculaire absolu chez les patients hémodialysés diabétiques, par rapport aux patients hémodialysés non diabétiques. La présente, étude transversale, descriptive et analytique a été réalisée entre le 1 ier avril et le 30 juin 2019 au Centre National d’Hémodialyse de Donka. L’étude a inclus les 140 patients hémodialysés durant la période. Le recrutement était exhaustif et concernait tous les patients hémodialysés répondant aux critères de sélection. Les données ont été recueillies prospectivement chez les patients hémodialysés puis compilées et traitées dans Epi info. 7.2.2.6. Un questionnaire semi-administré a été utilisé à ce fin. Pour évaluer le risque cardiovasculaire chez les patients le FRAMINGHAM RISK SCORE (FRS) a été aussi utilisé. L’enquête a concerné 140 individus dont 91 (65,00%) étaient des hommes, contre 49 (35,00%) de femmes, soit un sex- ratio de 1,86 soit 2 hommes pour une femme. L’âge moyen était de 41 ± 4,1 ans avec des extrêmes de (30 ; 74) ans. On notait une prédominance chez les hommes des facteurs de risque, pour le tabagisme. L’étude a trouvé 39 diabétiques contre 101 non diabétiques. Le risque était élevé chez 23 diabétiquessur 39 ; et 25 sur 101 des patients non diabétiques. L’étude montre qu’un patient sur quatre aurait un risque absolu élevé chez les patients non diabétiques et un patient sur deux chez les patients diabétiques. Ce risque est majoré par d’autres facteurs associés. Introduction: Cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis appears to vary depending on diabetic status and other associated factors and is a public health problem in Africa in general and particularly in Guinea. The objective of this study was to assess the risk of absolute cardiovascular disease in diabetic hemodialysis patients, compared to non-diabetic hemodialysis patients. Methods: Between April 1 and June 30, 2019, a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the National Hemodialysis Centre in Donka. The study included 140 hemodialysis patients during the period. Recruitment was comprehensive and involved all hemodialysis patients meeting the selection criteria. The data were collected prospectively in hemodialysis patients and then compiled and processed in Epi info. 7.2.2.6. A semi-administered questionnaire had been used. To assess cardiovascular risk in patients, FRAMINGHAM RISK SCORE (FRS) was used. Results: The survey involved 140 individuals, 91 of whom (65.00%) 49 (35.00%) were men. sex ratio of 1.86 or 2 men per woman. The average age was 41-4.1 years with extremes of (30; 74) years. There was a predominance among men of risk factors for smoking. The study found 39 diabetics versus 101 non-diabetics. The risk was high in 23 out of 39 diabetics; and 25 out of 101 non-diabetic patients. Conclusion: The study shows that one in four patients would have a high absolute risk in diabetic and non-diabetic patients and also confirms the association of other factors that increase this risk. The survey involved 140 individuals, 91 of whom (65.00%) 49 (35.00%) were men. sex ratio of 1.86 or 2 men per woman. The average age was 41-4.1 years with extremes of (30; 74) years. There was a predominance among men of risk factors for smoking and diabetes. In our series, most of our patients had a low risk level of 56 (40%). Conclusion: This survey finds a low risk in this hemodialysis population. This should lead to strengthening strategies for preventing cardiovascular disease in this at-risk population

Management of pre-eclampsia and its complications in the department of gynecology and obstetrics at Donka national hospital Conakry, Guinea

Background: Vascular-renal syndrome, also known as pre-eclampsia, is a condition specific to pregnancy, usually occurring in the last trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women are sometimes at risk of unpredictable obstetrical complications such as: hemorrhage, kidney failure, HELLP syndrome, sometimes even brain damage requiring prompt care and multidisciplinary collaboration. Vascular-renal syndromes are the third leading cause of maternal death and also the world's leading cause of perinatal death. Objectives of this study were to analyse the management of vascular-renal syndromes. Calculate their frequency, describe the sociodemographic characteristics of patients, describe the clinical and biological signs of patients, evaluate the maternal-fetal prognosis.Methods: The study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Donka National Hospital. It was a prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional, 6-month study from March 1st to August 31st, 2015, of pregnant women with pre-eclampsia.Results: The study included 217 cases of pre-eclampsia out of a total of 3054 patients, i.e. a proportion of 7.10%. The proportion of pre-eclampsia was high in patients aged between 15 and 19 years, housewife, married, primary. The predisposing factors were primigestitis, obesity and twinkling. The clinic was dominated by headaches and visual disturbances. Severe preeclampsia in 78.49%, eclampsia in 21.65% or simple hypertension in 1.75%. Maternal and fetal complications were dominated by eclampsia 26.26%, PPH (2.63%), eclamptic coma (0.46%), acute fetal distress 27.19%, and fetal death in utero (11.40%). In order to improve maternal and fetal prognosis it is necessary to provide multidisciplinary care, which unfortunately is not always available in our context.Conclusions: Obstetric emergency is a frequent situation for which a better management would improve the maternal-fetal prognosis

Fetal death in utero: epidemiological aspects, management and maternal prognosis in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the community medical centre of Ratoma

Background: Fetal death in utero (FDIU) often represents a tragedy badly lived, sometimes incomprehensible. It is considered as a failure of pregnancy's progress and monitoring. It is a frequent problem in obstetrical practice. Objective of study was to contribute to the study of FDIU in the maternity ward of the Ratoma municipal medical center.Methods: This was a prospective study of analytical type conducted over a period of 6 months from 1 January to 30 June 2017.Results: During this study period, we recorded 54 cases of FDIU out of a total of 1256 deliveries, or a frequency of 4.3%. The average age of our patients was 28.5 years with extremes of 16 to 39 years, the most represented age group was 25 to 34 years, with a frequency of 44.4%. The absence of active fetal movement was the main reason for consultation, with a frequency of 51.9%, and housewives were the most affected, with a frequency of 61.1%. The 70.4% of our patients gave birth by vaginal delivery and oxytocin was the most commonly used drug for induction of labor, i.e., 77.8%. The immediate maternal prognosis was 100% favorable and no case of maternal death was recordedConclusions: In-utero fetal death is a frequent obstetrical pathology, the awareness of women for the realization of ANC as well as the early management of risk factors detected during ANC constitutes an element of great importance. Therefore, a regular follow-up of all pregnant women even in the absence of risk factors proves necessary

Fréquence des néphropathies congénitales au Centre hospitalier universitaire de Donka à Conakry: Frequency of congenital nephropathies in the University Hospital of Donka in Conakry

Context and objective. The real extent of congenital nephropathies is little known in Africa and in particular in Guinea. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of congenital nephropathies in the University Hospital of Donka. Methods. This was a descriptive retrospective study enrolling patients admitted for congenital nephropathy at both pediatric and pediatric surgery departments of Donka, between January 1st, 2007 and June 30th, 2012. The parameters of the study were epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical data.  Results. Of 34,448 patients recorded during the period studied, 26 had congenital nephropathies. They encompassed nephroblastoma (n=17), SJPU (n=6), hydronephrosis on left multikystic kidney (n=1), multikystic kidney in ptosis (n=1) and renal ectopia (n=1). Male sex was preponderant (21/26) with a sex ratio of 4.2/1. The 29 day-old to 2 year-old children were more affected. Conclusion. Congenital nephropathies appear less frequently in this hospital probably due to the absence of optimal facilities. The early diagnosis of congenital nephropathies should be made during the antenatal time, which would be a key to a better management of these conditions in affected children. Contexte et objectif. L’ampleur réelle des néphropathies congénitales est peu connue en Afrique et notamment en Guinée. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer la fréquence des néphropathies congénitales rencontrées. Méthodes. Cette étude documentaire de type descriptif sur la néphropathie congénitale, a été conduite entre les 1er janvier 2007 et 30 juin 2012, dans les services de pédiatrie et de chirurgie pédiatrique de Donka. Les paramètres d’interet englobaient les données épidémiologiques, cliniques et paracliniques.  Résultats. Parmi les 34.448 dossiers colligés, 26 présentaient une néphropathie congénitale. Il s’agissait des néphroblastomes (n=17), des syndromes de jonction pyélo-urétérale (n=6), d’une hydronéphrose sur rein multikystique gauche (n=1), d’un rein multikystique en ptose (n=1) et d’une ectopie rénale (n=1). Le sexe masculin était prépondérant (21/26) avec un sexe ratio de 4,2/1. Les enfants de 29 jours à 2 ans étaient les plus touchés. Conclusion. Les néphropathies congénitales sont paraissent moins fréquentes dans cette institution hospitalière, à cause du manque d’un plateau technique diagnostique optimal. Le diagnostic précoce des néphropathies congénitales devrait être fait dans la période prénatale ce qui permettrait une meilleure prise en charge des enfants affectés
