La gestion de la fertilité des sols en Afrique : présentation d'un guide pratique pour l'apprentissage participatif et la recherche-action

La gestion de la fertilité des sols en Afrique. Présentation d'un guide pratique pour l'apprentissage participatif et la recherche-action. Ce guide a été développé pour tous ceux qui travaillent en milieu paysan, que ce soit dans la recherche ou la vulgarisation agricole, afin d'assister les paysans dans un processus d'apprentissage et d'action. L'objectif de ce guide est de mettre au point des méthodes pratiques pour aider les paysans dans leur ambition de mieux gérer la fertilité des sois. Par conséquent, l'étude du fonctionnement des systèmes de production et des cadres simples d'analyse des flux de ressources ont retenu amplement l'attention des auteurs de ce guide. Cependant, ce guide offre plus qu'un simple cadre analytique des systèmes de production, il fournit également des procédures et des outils pour créer et mettre en place un processus d'apprentissage participatif et de recherche-action. De plus, ce guide présente des méthodes pratiques de gestion de l'information et de données obtenues dans ce cadre. L'ouvrage est le fruit d'une longue recherche-action de terrain menée dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest et de l'Est. (Résumé d'auteur

Multimodal multilayer network centrality relates to executive functioning

Executive functioning (EF) is a higher order cognitive process that is thought to depend on a network organization facilitating integration across subnetworks, in the context of which the central role of the fronto-parietal network (FPN) has been described across imaging and neurophysiological modalities. However, the potentially complementary unimodal information on the relevance of the FPN for EF has not yet been integrated. We employ a multilayer framework to allow for integration of different modalities into one ‘network of networks.’ We used diffusion MRI, resting-state functional MRI, MEG, and neuropsychological data obtained from 33 healthy adults to construct modality-specific single-layer networks as well as a single multilayer network per participant. We computed single-layer and multilayer eigenvector centrality of the FPN as a measure of integration in this network and examined their associations with EF. We found that higher multilayer FPN centrality, but not single-layer FPN centrality, was related to better EF. We did not find a statistically significant change in explained variance in EF when using the multilayer approach as compared to the single-layer measures. Overall, our results show the importance of FPN integration for EF and underline the promise of the multilayer framework toward better understanding cognitive functioning
