Provided the regulatory reforms of MFIs in CEMAC Zone since 2002, we run a comparative analysis of risks associated with MFIs ownership forms. Then, we got extract from MIX market database. Specifically, the dataset included 28 MFIs from Central Africa over the period 2001-2017. We found out that commercial orientation and large scale are associated with high good exposure. Being Microbanks venture stakes small depositors’ funds, but deprived from residual claims, we are supportive of stringer regulation of Microbanks. We also suggest clients (whether depositors or borrowers) participation in MFOs for better portfolio quality.

Crops are very important in order to accommodate world population for food as well as industrial purposes. MiRNA (micro-RNA) have been considered as an important and crucial factor for manipulation of crops to make them more productive and resistant against harsh environmental stressed conditions. Now, these non-coding special sequences have been used successfully for gene-expression and regulation such as gene integration, slicing, signal transduction, pre and post translational modification, boost up metabolic pathways, enhancement of crop growth and developments and much more traits which is significant contribution in genetic engineering technologies for crop modifications. Genomic expression factors have been modulated through unique-miRNAs sequence which takes up toward the next generation specific targets that would have been adapted under biotechnological mechanisms and then these technologies could be used for improving the agronomic traits of various crops further down collection of high productive results. Significant strategies have pointed out to overcome the drawbacks during crop-manipulation. In this review, work for diversified and recently identified sequences of micro-RNA is studied; and production of valuable crops in order to have better agronomic properties to fulfill the requirements of food and industry with significant sustainability under stressed conditions. Genetic regulation as well as expression through miRNAs in genetic engineering will facilitate better for crop modification with quality and would be considered as positive step toward improving the economy of country.

For decades, Nigella sativa has been used as herbal medicine. Thymoquinone is a main ingredient isolated from Nigella sativa and has wide range of pharmacological activities, such as protection from oxidative stress, inflammation and infections. This is also suggested that most of the therapeutic effects of Nigella sativa are because of the presence of thymoquinone that's the most bioactive constituent of the Nigella sativa. The crude and thymoquinone extracted from its seeds and oil are effective against non-communicable diseases (hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, etc.) and communicable diseases (malaria, AIDS, hepatitis C virus, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections etc.). The literature studies were preliminary and scanty; however the results revealed that Nigella sativa (black seed) plants have a possible therapeutic impact for wide range diseases. Such results are encouraging for the incorporation of those plants in treatment of both communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Thalassemia is a genetic disease of autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by the reduction or absence of production of one of the normal globin chains, which causes chronic hemolytic anemia. Iron overload is the main prognostic factor for mortality and morbidity, and the quality of chelation remains the major prognostic factor for the disease. The aim of our work is to emphasize the major impact of chelating treatment in post-transfusion hemochromatosis, on life expectancy, the prevention of cardiac, hepatic and endocrine complications. Our study is a cross-sectional study on 15 cases of major β thalassemia in children in the pediatric hematology unit of the CHU Oujda whose current age is between 2 and 13 years with an average of 8 years old and predominantly female (66%). Therapeutically, all our patients are on a transfusion program every 2 to 4 weeks. The iron overload assessment in our series was based on the 3-month ferritinemia assay, liver MRI, and annual echocardiography. In our series, 14 of our patients were put on iron chelating treatment for which Deferasirox was the molecule of choice. All of our patients tolerated Deferasirox very well and did not tolerate Deferriprone. The evolution was marked by the improvement of ferritin in 7 cases, 4kept stationary ferritinemia and 3 cases increased their ferritinemia level. In the light of these results, thalassemia is a real public health problem whose complications are serious and whose morbidity and mortality are high, hence the need for good management for a good prognosis based on the 2 pillars monthly transfusion and iron chelation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only curative treatment.

Sub-regional Instruments as Vehicle for Domestic Maritime Legislative Development: Cameroon’s Experience with the ‘CEMAC’ Merchant Shipping Code
Buh Emmanuel Ndze
Page no 216-230 |
10.36348/sijlcj.2020.v03i07.002
The regulation of the shipping industry is deeply rooted in treaties or agreements – whether bilateral, multilateral or universal. Where such treaties emanate from a sub-regional organization, however, it all depends on whether the organization in question is geared towards loose cooperation or formal integration. Basically, loose cooperation-oriented organizations such as the Gulf of Guinea Commission do not have treaty-making competence. However, they generally function alongside well-established international organizations such as the UN and IMO and are often credited with working to encourage states in the implementation and enforcement of major international instruments at the regional level. On the other hand, formal integration-oriented organizations such as the EU and CEMAC usually develop instruments that tend to heavily impact the legislative framework of their member-states. It is therefore to be expected that CEMAC instruments, notably the CEMAC Merchant Shipping Code, would impact Cameroon’s maritime legislation. Such impact can be seen from what Cameroon has achieved in terms of the modernization of its maritime legislation and the provision of solutions to the challenges inherent in its dual legal system. Furthermore, the CEMAC Shipping Code regime must also be perceived as a component of Cameroon’s overall effort geared towards meeting international maritime legislative implementation and enforcement standards. However, the challenges confronting the country at these various levels are huge and questions arise as to the adequacy of the CEMAC Shipping Code regime in addressing them. This article thus sets out to make an appraisal of the CEMAC Shipping Code regime in its perceived role as vehicle for developing Cameroon’s maritime legislation and addressing the related challenges inherent in the country’s dual legal system. The methodology adopted is doctrinal in approach and involves a content analysis of primary and secondary data. The article concludes with a proposed strategic framework for maritime legislative development and some practical suggestions directed at the government of Cameroon, but which should equally be useful to governments elsewhere.

Background: Maternal genital tract colonization with GBS during pregnancy is an important risk factor for neonatal GBS infections. Methodology: This prospective study was done to determine Group B streptococcus (GBS) colonization in pregnancy using selective and non-selective culture media. The total sample size was 300 pregnant women. In 200 women, vaginal and rectal swabs were collected and inoculated separately in non- selective blood agar media and in another 100 women, vaginal and rectal swabs were collected and inoculated separately in selective Todd-Hewitt broth media for GBS isolation. Results: The detection rate for GBS was more when Todd Hewitt Broth was used for initial inoculation than direct inoculation in blood agar. The overall GBS prevalence rate among pregnant women was 2.3% in our study. Conclusion: Our finding supports the current recommendations that inoculation in selective medium is fundamental to maximize GBS detection rates and should be employed by laboratories involved in screening of pregnantwomen.

Purpose: This study aims at assessing the impact of Saudi Arabia nursing students in their internship experience with High- Fidelity Simulation Labs. Focus is primarily on the satisfaction and self-confidence of the students in learning and also the ability of the program in preparing the students for the actual practice. Design: The study used a descriptive quantitative data collection method. Specifically, an online survey method via Survey Monkey was adopted and focused on collecting data that was related to learning tools in satisfaction and self-efficacy. Thirteen questions (items) were designed, five of which were about satisfaction, whereas eight addressed self-confidence. The theoretical framework chosen was from Bandura's social learning theory, which postulates that people learn from one another through observation, imitation, and modeling. Moreover, according to the theory, there are five basic human cognitive human capabilities, which are the ability to use symbols, learning through observation, forethought, self-regulation, and self-reflection. The study used descriptive data analysis, specifically the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, to analyze the data collected. Participants: Nursing students from a private college in Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) in the USA. Findings: The key findings from the research is that students increased their satisfaction and self-confidence while learning with (HFS). In this case, the students were satisfied with the materials, methods of learning, and activities involved when learning with HFS since this demonstrated their knowledge and experience in a clinical setting. Conclusion: High-Frequency Simulation offers a great opportunity for the students to have a near firsthand experience of how to take care of the patients without putting the actual patient’s health at risk. The significance of the study is that it can be instrumental in aiding educators in Saudi to improve and support the nursing students by utilizing HFS.

Objective: To evaluate the practice of antibiotic prophylaxis in trauma-orthopedic surgery at the Moulay Ismail military hospital in Meknes, in order to determine the deviations from the local protocol established and to propose corrective measures. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive prospective study evaluating the practice of antibiotic prophylaxis in trauma and orthopedic surgery, which involved two hundred seventy-two patients operated on over a period of six months. This study took place in three phases. The collection of data on cards developed for this purpose; analysis of the results and review of the literature to judge the compliance of antibiotic prophylaxis decisions with local recommendations and protocols. Results: For the 272 patients operated on during the study period, of whom 72% were male, the compliance with the judgment criteria was respectively: 97.80% for the indication with antibiotic prophylaxis, 98.33% for the choice of molecule, 95% for the administered dose, 100% for the schedule of the first injection, 100% for the route of administration and only 3% for the duration of the antibiotic prophylaxis. Discussion and conclusion: The results of our study confirm the discrepancies reported by various international studies, these discrepancies are due to the deviation of antibiotic prophylaxis practices to local protocols and international standards. The antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations remain imperfectly applied even after the publication of guidelines. These results make essential: an update of the local protocols already established which must take into account on the one hand recent international recommendations and on the other hand local ecology, the day before the active dissemination of these protocols and their application by professionals and the need to train all prescribers using methods adapted to their professional constraints. Educate surgeons in the hospital department on the lack of interest in extending the prescription of antibiotic prophylaxis beyond 48 hours and in prescribing unjustified combinations.
