    Cet article s’intĂ©resse Ă  la paupĂ©risation des conditions de vie des populations de la localitĂ© de Kolodio BinĂ©da dans un contexte d’exploitation minière comme activitĂ© marquante. En effet, La pratique de l’orpaillage dans cette localitĂ© a longtemps Ă©tĂ© considĂ©rĂ©e comme une activitĂ© susceptible d’amĂ©liorer les conditions d’existence des populations riveraines. Cependant, après plusieurs annĂ©es de pratique de cette activitĂ©, fort est de constater que l’activitĂ© minière a plutĂ´t participĂ© Ă  la dĂ©gradation de terres cultivables qui implique des effets environnementaux et participe de la dĂ©construction des rapports entre les hommes. Pour traiter cette question, la mĂ©thodologie s’est axĂ©e sur une approche mixte avec pour outils de collecte des donnĂ©es, un questionnaire administrĂ© Ă  62 orpailleurs et un guide d’entretien destinĂ© Ă  25 personnes ressources. Ainsi l’activitĂ© des orpailleurs a entrainĂ© des changements sociaux, une fragilisation des rapports socio-Ă©conomiques et environnementaux. Ce qui est une preuve de cette Ă©tude qui indique (i) le caractère illĂ©gal de la pratique de l’orpaillage, (ii) le non-respect des conditions lĂ©gales d’exploitation de l’or et (iii) les pesanteurs socio-culturelles, dans la considĂ©ration de l’or, comme les causes de la prĂ©caritĂ© de vie des populations de Kolodio Bineda.                  This article focuses on the impoverishment of the living conditions of the populations of the locality of Kolodio BinĂ©da in a context of mining as a significant activity. Indeed, the practice of gold panning in this locality has long been considered as an activity likely to improve the living conditions of the local populations. However, after several years of practicing this activity, it is clear that mining activity has rather participated in the degradation of cultivable land which involves environmental effects and contributes to the deconstruction of relationships between people. To address this issue, the methodology focused on a mixed approach with data collection tools, a questionnaire administered to 62 artisanal gold miners and an interview guide intended for 25 resource persons. Thus, the activity of gold miners has led to social changes, a weakening of socio-economic and environmental relations. What is a proof of this study which indicates (i) the illegal nature of the practice of gold panning, (ii) the non-respect of the legal conditions of exploitation of gold and (iii) the socio-cultural constraints, in the consideration of gold, as the causes of the precariousness of life of the populations of Kolodio Bineda

    Cet article s’intĂ©resse Ă  la paupĂ©risation des populations de la zone de Kolodio Bineda, dans un contexte d’exploitation minière comme activitĂ© marquante. La pratique de l’orpaillage, dans cette zone, a longtemps Ă©tĂ© considĂ©rĂ©e comme une activitĂ© susceptible d’amĂ©liorer les conditions d’existence des populations. Cependant, après plusieurs annĂ©es de pratique de l’orpaillage, fort est de constater, qu’elle a plutĂ´t entraĂ®nĂ© la dĂ©gradation des terres cultivables. Elle implique par consĂ©quent des problèmes environnementaux et participe Ă  la dĂ©construction des rapports sociaux. A ce titre, l’objectif de cette Ă©tude est de comprendre en quoi la prolifĂ©ration de l’orpaillage dans la zone de Kolodio Bineda est considĂ©rĂ©e Ă  la fois comme un moyen de lutte contre la crise de l’emploi et un facteur de maintien de la population dans un Ă©tat de prĂ©caritĂ©. L’atteinte de cet objectif est sous-tendue par une mĂ©thodologie axĂ©e sur l’approche mixte. Cette approche a privilĂ©giĂ© une grille d’observation, un questionnaire administrĂ© Ă  62 orpailleurs et un guide d’entretien destinĂ© Ă  25 personnes ressources, comme outils de collecte des donnĂ©es. La recherche documentaire, l’observation directe et l’enquĂŞte de terrain ont Ă©tĂ© les techniques utilisĂ©es dans le cadre de cette Ă©tude. OrientĂ©s par la thĂ©orie du changement social, les rĂ©sultats rĂ©vèlent que, la pratique de l’orpaillage dans la zone de Kolodio Bineda a entraĂ®nĂ© des changements sociaux et environnementaux. Elle a occasionnĂ© par la mĂŞme occasion la fragilisation des rapports socio-Ă©conomiques et sanitaires. L’orpaillage clandestin a fini par encastrer les populations dans une crise alimentaire sans prĂ©cĂ©dent. La dĂ©composition de l’ensemble du corps social montre que, le caractère illĂ©gal de la pratique de l’orpaillage, le non-respect des conditions lĂ©gales d’exploitation de l’or et les pesanteurs socio-culturelles sont des forces d’obstacles Ă  l’amĂ©lioration de la condition de vie des populations de la zone de Kolodio Bineda.   This article focuses on the impoverishment of the populations of the Kolodio Bineda area, in a context of mining as a prominent activity. The practice of gold panning in this area has long been considered as an activity likely to improve the living conditions of the populations. However, after several years of gold panning, it is clear that it has rather led to the degradation of arable land. It therefore involves environmental problems and participates in the deconstruction of social relations. As such, the objective of this study is to understand how the proliferation of gold panning in the Kolodio Bineda area is considered both as a means of combating the employment crisis and a factor in maintaining the population in a precarious state. The achievement of this objective is underpinned by a methodology based on the mixed approach. This approach favored an observation grid, a questionnaire administered to 62 artisanal gold miners and an interview guide intended for 25 resource persons, as data collection tools. Documentary research, direct observation and field survey were the techniques used in this study. Guided by the theory of social change, the results reveal that the practice of gold panning in the Kolodio Bineda area has led to social and environmental changes. At the same time, it has caused the weakening of socio-economic and health relations. Clandestine gold panning ended up embedding populations in an unprecedented food crisis. The breakdown of the entire social body shows that the illegal nature of the practice of gold panning, the non-respect of the legal conditions for the exploitation of gold and the socio-cultural constraints are forces of obstacles to improvement of the living conditions of the populations of the Kolodio Bineda area

    The Dahliafleur Partial Nature Reserve, located in the town of Bingerville, is part of the great Ivorian protected area network. Unfortunately, very little is known about its floristic diversity, and even less about the structure of its vegetation. This work intends to characterize its floristic and structural aspects, through 13 surface surveys and an itinerant survey carried out in the northern, central, and southern zones of this area. The data analysis revealed that the Dahliafleur Partial Nature Reserve includes 135 species. These species are divided into 110 genera and 53 families. It has 26 special-status species and the highest diversity index of any urban forest. The diametric structure shows histograms in the shape of an "inverted J" for each of the areas. This pattern is typical of a forest in a good state of conservation and with good regeneration capacity. This result shows the importance of this reserve for the conservation of floristic biodiversity

    Objectif: Cette étude vise à dégager l’originalité de la fermentation lactique au cours de la production de l’attiéké (semoule de manioc cuite à la vapeur) dans les espaces ethnoculturels Adjoukrou, Ahizi et Ebrié.Méthodologie et Résultats: Une caractérisation des ferments a été réalisée à travers la composition en bactéries lactiques (charge, type morphologique et espèces de bactéries lactiques) des ferments traditionnels de manioc Adjoukrou, Ahizi et Ebrié. Il ressort de cette analyse préliminaire que la population des bactéries lactiques des ferments Ahizi est composée de 58,34 % de coccobacilles, 25 % de bacilles et 16,66 % de cocci. Dans les ferments Ebrié, les cocci et les bacilles sont décelés dans des proportions respectives de 58,34 % et 41,66 %. Les ferments Adjoukrou et Ahizi sont dominés par une espèce du genre Weissella et le ferment Ebrié par une espèce de Leuconostoc. En ce qui concerne la dynamique des bactéries lactiques au cours de la fermentation de la pâte de manioc, pour la production de l’attiéké Adjoukrou, sur les trois sites de Débrimou, les fermentations sont initiées et conduites par des CCG+(Coccobacilles Gram+) représentées par quatre espèces de Weissella. Par contre, la fermentation de la pâte de manioc de type Ahizi présentait deux phases. La première phase est marquée par la croissance des bactéries BG+ (Bacilles Gram+) (Lactobacillus plantarum et lactobacillus fermentum). La deuxième est dominée par la croissance des Enterococcus italicus. Quant à la production de l’attiéké Ebrié est initiée et conduite par des CCG+ (Coccobacilles Gram+) représentés par des espèces de Weissella. Ce n’est qu’après huit heures de fermentation que la croissance des CG+ (Cocci Gram +) (Leuconostoc mesenteroides et Leuconostoc subsp mesenteroides) est plus activée.Conclusion et principales applications de la recherche: Cette étude a permis de dégager les spécificités de la fermentation lactique pour chacune des zones d’étude. Ces ferments serviront de bases de données pour la mise en place d’un starter typique à chaque type d’attiéké en Côte d’Ivoire.Mots Clés: Fermentation, Dynamique, Bactérie lactiques, AttiékéEnglish AbstractObjective: This study aims to identify the originality of lactic fermentation during the production of Attiéké (steamed cassava fermented semolina) in the spaces ethnocultural Adjoukrou, Ahizi and Ebrié.Methodology and Results: A characterization of the ferments was carried out through the lactic acid bacteria composition (load, morphological type and species of lactic acid bacteria) of the traditional cassava ferments Adjoukrou, Ahizi and Ebrié. This preliminary analysis showed that the lactic bacteria population of Ahiziferments was composed of 58.34% coccobacilli, 25% bacilli and 16.66% cocci. In the Ebrié ferments, cocci and bacilli were detected in respective proportions of 58.34% and 41.66%. Adjoukrou and Ahizi ferments were dominated by a species of the genus Weissella and Ebrié ferment by a species of Leuconostoc. With regard to the dynamics of lactic acid bacteria during the fermentation of cassava dough, for the production of Adjoukrou attiéké, at the three Debrimou sites, fermentations were initiated and conducted by GCC+ (Coccobacillus Gram+) represented by four species of Weissella. On the other hand, the fermentation of the Ahizi cassava dough evolved in two phases. The first phase was marked by the growth of BG + (bacilli Gram +) bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum). The second was dominated by the growth of Enterococcus italicus. For the production of Attiéké Ebrié the cassava dough fermentation was initiated and conducted by CCG+ (Coccobacillus Gram +) represented by Weissella species. But only after eight hours of fermentation that the growth of CG + (Cocci Gram +) (Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Leuconostoc subsp. Mesenteroides) was activated the most.Conclusion and main applications of research: This study made it possible to identify the specificities of lactic fermentation for each of the study areas. These ferments will serve as databases for the establishment of a starter typical of each type of attiéké in Côte d'Ivoire.Keywords: Fermentation, Dynamics, Lactic Bacteria, Attiék

    Background: Urinary tract infection is a common pathology during pregnancy due to hormonal and morphological changes. Objective of this study was to improve management of urinary tract infection during prenatal care.Methods: A total of 987 pregnant women who have been in prenatal care have freely accepted to participate in cross-sectional study carried out from 1st May 2016 to 30th April 2017 at Yopougon University Hospital (Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire) were included. Patients were submitted to questionnaire by one of investigators for epidemiological component and then physical examination was carried out by her attending physician for clinical component. Then at laboratory urine was taken for culture after dipstick test.Results: Of the 987 patients included 9.4% had a urinary tract infection of which 81.7% were asymptomatic. Significant risk factors retained were existence of a history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.46; p=0,038) and gestational age of pregnancy (OR=0.44; p=0.05). Urine culture isolated germs were mainly Escherichia Coli (51.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniaie (23.6%). These germs were all susceptible to cephalosporins. They had resistances of more than 50% to penicillins.Conclusions: Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are most common germs of urinary tract infections in pregnant women. Escherichia coli is not susceptible to penicillins with a resistance of 70% for penicillins except for clavulanic acid amoxicillin. It appears as first choice antibiotic for our prescriptions in case of probabilistic antibiotic therapy
