Full textAbstract:
Arbetet har svarat mot frågan om hur ett befäls arbetssituation ser ut i dag på bryggan och hur den mängd regler och riktlinjer som finns för vaktgående befäl påverkar hans förmåga att framföra fartyget på ett säkert sätt. För att studera detta har en litteraturstudie utförts där vi studerat transportstyrelsens utgivna haverirapporter samt forskning inom områdena om mänskliga faktorn, fartygsorganisation och sjösäkerhet. Det som framkommit under arbetets gång är att manskapet ombord de senaste åren allt mer har fått ge vika till förmån för teknik men då reglerna inte följt med i tempot kan det vara så att fartyg i dag inte uppfyller kraven för minimibesättning. Även om vi kan påvisa att befälen har en hög arbetsbelastning går det inte att se varför de handlat som de gjort vid olyckstillfällena. Vidare har konstaterats att det finns utrymme för framtida forskning i ämnet där man exempelvis kan se över hur haverirapporterna är utformade.This work answered the question about how the situation is today on the bridge for the nautical officers and how the amount of rules and guidelines that exists affects his ability to manoeuvre the ship in a safe way. To study this we have performed a literature study where we studied the Swedish Transport Agency’s published accident investigation reports as well as research in the fields of human error, shipping organization and safety at sea. Our findings show that the crew on board has been reduced due to technical advancement. However, the rules have not followed the same pace and therefore today’s ships may not fulfil the requirements of minimum manning on board. Although we can tell that the officers have an increased workload we cannot see why they have acted as they did at the time of the accidents. It can also be shown that there is a need for future research where, for example, studies on how the accident investigation reports are designed.

Full textAbstract:
This study concentrates on primary education and community projects as analytical tools. It hypothesizes that there is an hierarchy of allocation that mirrors core-periphery relations of regions, and that there is a rural-urban dichotomy in the endowment of specific Local Government Areas (LGAs). The combined evidence of the distribution of teachers and of pupils by sex, and of budgeted amounts for community projects, suggests a three-level division of LGAs. There are low-endowment rural LGAs, having high male-to-female teacher ratios and, to some degree, more male than female pupils. There are high-endowment rural LGAs, with rough parity of teacher and pupil ratios, and varied--but high--levels of project budget. Finally, there are urban LGAs, with high female-to-male teacher ratios, a tendency for female pupils to outnumber male, and very low community project budgets. However, these divisions are based on crude statistics, rank-ordered, and take no account of effects of the larger region (i.e. Eastern Nigeria). The preliminary interpretation, which does support a rural-urban endowment dichotomy, is of limited value because statistics essential to a definitive conclusion are unavailable.

Full textAbstract:
Postpartum depression affects many postpartum mothers. When postpartum depression is not timely assessed, identified, and treated, it can lead to problems with mother child bonding and cause family problems, negligence, and infant death. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand Imo State women's lived experiences and perception on sufficiency of the assessment and treatment received for their postpartum depression. The conceptual theory for this study was the empowerment theory. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted to examine 10 Imo State postpartum mothers' lived experiences of assessment processes and to understand if their psychological desires were addressed. The interviews were audio recorded and notes were taken; the recordings were transcribed, and the transcripts were imported into NVivo9 for the data to be examined. The inductive coding method was used in data coding. The text was used as the source for coding, and the dominant themes were isolated and a range of themes were defined. The themes that appeared from the participants' responses were tearful and anxiety during and after pregnancy, inadequate assessment, stress, lack of knowledge, coping mechanisms, herbalist, and prayer. The participants stated that feelings of unhappiness and sadness increased after delivery of their babies, which were misinterpreted by family and friends. Participants stated that they sought recovery through prayer and herbs. The findings from this study can be used to promote positive social change by enhancing Imo State women's awareness on postpartum depression and also to support health care providers in designing relevant assessments and providing care for women with postpartum depression.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this paper is to find out how solar cells can improve energy efficiency on-board M/S Sydfart. The paper is based on a number of energy measurements on board the M/S Sydfart. The solar surface is calculated by measuring the available space for installing solar panels. Global radiation data is taken from STRÅNG's database, the data is then used to calculate the theoretical power produced by the solar cells. Energy efficiency is analysed in two ways. The first analysis focuses on how much of the daily energy usage that can be covered with solar cells. The second analysis focuses on the change of EEOI attainable with solar cells installed. The electrical energy consumption on-board M/S Sydfart, during the summer, is almost entirely covered with solar cells. The paper however shows some disadvantages. During the winter, the produced electrical energy from solar cells are low and an unreasonably large area of solar panels is required to cover the electricity demand. Two scenarios are evaluated. In scenario one, all the space available for the installation of photovoltaic panels is used. This gives a large energy surplus during summer. In scenario two, only half of the surface is used to install solar panel. This results in a smaller energy surplus without any significant loss of usable energy. Given that M/S Sydfart has limited ability to take advantage of energy surplus, the second scenario is recommended. The result shows that energy efficiency will be improved. Depending on the season, EEOI can be improved between 0.5 % and 12%. There is no demand for improvement in EEOI from IMO. It is up to the shipping companies themselves to set internal targets for improvement.Målet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur solceller kan förbättra energieffektiviteten ombord M/S Sydfart. Uppsatsen baseras på ett antal energimätningar ombord M/S Sydfart. Solcellernas yta beräknas med hänsyn taget till tillgänglig yta för att installera solpaneler. Globalstrålningsdata kommer ifrån STRÅNG`s databas, den datan används sedan för att beräkna en teoretisk producerad effekt utav solcellerna. Energieffektiviteten analyseras på två sätt. Den första analysen ser på hur mycket av den dagliga energiförbrukningen som kan tillgodogöras med solceller. Den andra analysen baseras på hur stor för- ändring av EEOI som kan uppnås med installerade solceller. Elenergibehovet ombord M/S Sydfart, under sommarhalvåret, kan nästan helt täckas med solceller. Uppsatsen visar dock en del nackdelar med solceller. Under vinterhalvåret är den producerade elenergin från solcellerna låg och en orimligt stor yta solcellsmoduler behövs för att täcka elenergibehovet. Två scenarion utvärderas. I scenario ett utnyttjas all tillgänglig yta för installation av solcellsmoduler. Detta ger ett stort energiöverskott på sommarhalvåret. I scenario två halveras ytan för solcellsmoduler och energiöverskottet blir då mindre. Med hänsyn till att M/S Sydfart har begränsad möjlighet att ta till vara på energiöverskottet, rekommenderas scenario två. Resultatet visar att energieffektiviteten kommer att förbättras. Beroende på årstid, kan EEOI förbättras mellan 0.5% och 12 %. Något krav på förbättring av EEOI finns inte från IMO. Det är rederierna själva som sätter upp interna mål för förbättring.

Osuji, Hope Gloria Ngozi. "Local community contributions towards the development of secondary education in Imo State of Nigeria." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1989. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/847871/.
Full textAbstract:
This investigation set out to determine the level of Local Community contributions towards the development of secondary education in Imo State. It also set out to find out whether the derived gains with regard to the satisfaction of community needs are commensurate with the input into secondary education by the community. Twelve (12) hypotheses were tested to arrive at the decisions. Ten schools from each Educational Zone were randomly chosen for the investigation, giving a total of fifty (50) schools. The respondents for each school consisted of the principal, two teachers, two parents, two town union or community leaders, two final year students and the Eze (Traditional ruler) of that particular school community. The instrument of questionnaire as well as information from the Ministry of Education formed the basis of data collection. Structured interview questions were also used. It was found that in the establishment of schools, the Voluntary Agencies exceeded the government and the Local Communities. In the case of funding of the secondary schools before the government take-over of schools in 1970, it was found that the three bodies, the community, the government and the Voluntary Agencies contributed equally. The Analysis of Variance technique was used to test the difference. It was also found that there was no significant difference in the community contributions before and after the war; the same applied to that of the government, but in both instances, community contributions surpassed that of the government. In these cases the chi2 test was used to test the differences in contribution. With regard to the relevance of the curriculum to community needs it was found that despite the government's effort to satisfy the different needs and aspirations of the people, theoretical education still prevails, thus providing no solution to the unemployment problem. The Student-t test was used to identify significant differences in the opinions of adults and students with regard to the relevance of the curriculum in the achievement of educational objectives. Significant differences were found in the areas of employment, ability to acquire local culture and crafts, spiritual development, acquisition of high morals, discipline, ability to go for further education and ability to think objectively. Histograms were used to show the differences clearly. In spite of this, parents are still enthusiastic about secondary education in that they still contribute towards the establishment of new schools and are still keen on sending their children to school. It was therefore recommended that:- 1. Government should allow other bodies such as the voluntary agencies, individuals and other interested groups to be involved in the development of secondary education to reduce the costs borne by the community and the government. 2. The government should increase its areas of involvement in secondary education development. 3. The government should see that budgeting and curriculum planning should involve representatives of all interested groups in secondary education. 4. Artisans and people skilled in the local crafts should be incorporated in the School-Community Relations workshops by the government to train the crux of the new breed of teachers. 5. Workshops, seminars and in-service training should be organised by the government for serving teachers at minimal costs to the teachers. 6. The government should ensure that the least qualification for teachers in the secondary schools be the Nigerian Certificate in Education (N. C. E. ). 7. Government should ensure that guidance and counselling services be provided in schools to advise the students about vocational choice. 8. The people should consider alternative avenues of economic investments such as small scale industries, to absorb both secondary school drop-outs and graduates without jobs. 9. Specification of aims and objectives should be shared at four levels of the educational system. General aims by the Federal government, specific aims by the State government, general objectives by the local communities and specific objectives by the school. 10. Measures to improve curriculum design are also suggested. 11. The government should organise a carefully planned, coordinated and long-term investment in both community and educational welfare to avoid spirals of educational deprivation.

Okere, Cleo. "Factors affecting the implementation of computer technology in the Imo states high school instructional program." DigitalCommons@Robert W. Woodruff Library, Atlanta University Center, 1998. http://digitalcommons.auctr.edu/dissertations/3207.
Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to examine the factors that affect the implementation of computer technology in Imo State, Nigeria, secondary schools' instructional programs. The intent of the study was to determine the relationship between funding, availability of relevant infrastructures, trained personnel, job security, government support and market demand for computer trained personnel and the implementation of computer technology in Imo State school instructional program.
A total of three hundred and twelve (312) educators comprising of two hundred and fifty-five
(255) teachers, twenty (20) school principals and thirty-seven (37) administrators were randomly selected to respond to questionnaire items about their perceptions of the factors affecting the implementation of computer technology in instructional programs in secondary schools. Twelve research hypotheses were developed to determine the relationships between the factors affecting the implementation of computer technology in the secondary schools' instructional programs.
Pearson product moment linear correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data about the relationship between the factors affecting the implementation of computer technology in instructional programs. Also, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze data on the differences in perceptions of the respondents to the questionnaire. The findings showed that school-teachers believed that there were significant relationships between availability of funding, relevant infrastructure, and job security and the implementation of computer technology in secondary schools' instructional programs. Principals and administrators, on the other hand, found no significant relationships between the variables. However, all sampled groups believed that there were significant relationships between job security, government support and market demand for computer trained personnel and the implementation of computer technology in instructional programs in the secondary schools. This study revealed that adequate funding is the key to effective implementation of computer technology in instructional programs in Imo State, Nigeria's secondary schools. This means that, if the Nigerian students from Imo state are to compete effectively in this modem technological age, there is need for the state and national governments to invest more financial resources in the development, production and distribution of technological know-how in the education sector.

Full textAbstract:
In petrochemical plants and power generating utilities, creep behaviour will affect the service life of components operating at elevated temperatures and stresses. Non-destructive techniques which detect creep damage are therefore important for assessing the remaining service life of the affected components. Whilst various non-destructive techniques have been reported, further studies are necessary to refine and assess the potential of these techniques for quantitative measures to be used for residual life-time prediction. In this thesis, the use of ultrasonic techniques to quantify creep cavitation in 2.25Cr-1Mo low alloy steel was explored. In contrast to conventional methods which only examine surface effects, these approaches should be capable of monitoring both surface and volumetric changes. A computer-based ultrasonic system was developed and testing procedures to characterise the metallurgical variables and creep damage in both ferritic and bainitic 2.25Cr-1Mo steel materials have been established. To evaluate the effects of high temperature exposure to assess microstructural changes and the development of creep damage, a systematic approach with a three-stages experimental work has been undertaken. Firstly, the effects of grain size and phase transformation product on ultrasonic behaviour were evaluated. Samples have been prepared with ferritic and bainitic microstructures. Austenitisation procedures were selected so that samples were produced with average grainsizes in the range 21 to 96 μm. Secondly, ultrasonic techniques were used to characterise microstructural changes due to thermal ageing effects. Materials in ferritic and bainitic microstructures were aged at 700°C for times from 2 to 2000 hours. Thirdly, the assessment of creep damage using ultrasonic techniques was undertaken. This was performed on specimens which had been subjected to creep at various stresses, in a temperature range of 575 to 625°C. In all cases, ultrasonic measurements were supported by optical microscopy, tensile testing and surface hardness measurements to document metallurgical condition.

Full textAbstract:
The International Maritime Organization, IMO, aims to at a larger extent build their work in relation to and around risk management. It is therefore here investigated how IMO standards comply with industry risk management processes. The IMO risk perspective used in this study is the Formal Safety Assessment, FSA. The FSA was created to evaluate and compare new regulations in regards to cost and administrative or legislative burden and is a risk management methodology, which goal is to improve maritime safety. The FSA uses risk analysis and cost benefit assessment, and covers both technical and operational issues. By comparing the IMO risk perspective with industry risk management processes, and analysing the practical use of the FSA by applying it to three maritime accidents the goal with this report is to find similarities and differences of the two perspectives and present possible carryovers from industry risk approaches to the IMO risk perspective. It was found that the IMO risk perspective, here represented by the FSA, does overall comply with industry risk management processes. The main difference is that general industry risk management processes focuses on all phases of the development and use of a vessel, from the concept phase to the operation phase but the FSA focuses mainly on the operative perspective of the design phase and the operation phase. The largest deficiency of the FSA is the non-existing demands on safety culture which is found to be a requirement when doing a successful risk management assessment. If IMO is considering the FSA as their main risk management method to be used, it is important that requirements on safety management is added.Den internationella sjöfartsorganisationen, IMO, vill i större utsträckning utveckla sina standarder och rekommendationer med avseende på riskhantering. I denna rapport undersöks det hur dagens IMO-standarder stämmer överens med generella riskhanteringsmetoder. “The Formal Safety Assessment”, FSA, representerar i denna rapport IMOs perspektiv på riskhantering. FSAn skapades som ett verktyg för att utvärdera och jämföra nya regleringar och standarder ur ett kostnadsperspektiv samt administrativ och lagstiftande börda, och syftet med FSAn är att förbättra sjösäkerheten. FSAn är en riskanalysmetod och inkluderar både det tekniska och operativa perspektivet, samt kostnadskalkyler. I denna rapport jämförs IMOs riskperspektiv med generella riskhanteringsmetoder och den praktiska användningen av FSA analyseras genom att utreda hur man hade kunnat använda FSAn för att påverka utfallet av tre maritima olyckor. Målet med detta arbete är att hitta likheter och skillnader mellan de två perspektiven och undersöka om det finns lärdomar att dra från de båda perspektiven. Slutsatsen av detta arbete är att FSAn stämmer bra överens med generella riskhanteringsmetoder. Skillnaden som upptäcktes var att generella riskhanteringsmetoder inkluderar alla faser i utvecklingen och användandet av ett fartyg, från konceptfasen till den operativa fasen, men FSAn huvudsakligen fokuserar på det operativa perspektivet inom designfasen samt den operativa fasen. Det konstaterades också att en förutsättning för att en riskanalys ska vara effektiv och tillförlitlig är närvaron av en bra företagskultur och att den största bristen i FSAn är avsaknaden av uttryckliga krav på säkerhetskultur inom företaget som utvecklar eller använder båten, samt avsaknaden krav på en plan för hur företagen hanterar avvikelser. Utan en bra företagskultur, inklusive en säkerhetskultur, ökar risken för att avvika från designkrav och standardrutiner, vilket i sig ökar risken för olyckor.

Full textAbstract:
Mathematics has got roots in Finland in the last quarter of the 19th century and came to flourish in the first quarter of the next century. In the first quarter of the 20th century, mathematicians were involved in teaching mathematics at schools and writing school textbooks. This involvement decreased and came to an end by the launching of the ‘New Math’ project. Mathematics education for elite was of positive affect to higher education, and this has changed by the spread of education, the decrease of mathematics teaching hours at schools and the changes in school mathematical curricula. The impact of curriculum changes is evident in Finnish students’ performance in the IEA comparative studies, PISA and IMO.

Kutu-Adu, Solomon Gladstone. "Aligning internal market orientation (IMO) with market orientation (MO) to impact performance in the banking sector in Ghana." Thesis, London Metropolitan University, 2017. http://repository.londonmet.ac.uk/1269/.
Full textAbstract:
The study is the first in Sub-Saharan Africa to use the aligned effects of IMO/MO to determine their relationship with employee/customer satisfaction in the financial services industry. The pioneering studies of Lings and Greenley on internal market orientation (IMO) in the 2000s and that of Kohli and Jaworski experience enormous investigation empirically. Although some reasonable amount of studies on the above constructs have been undertaken within the newly developed and developing economies, there have been little attempt at exploring the alignment of the two concepts, in terms of their relationship with organizational performance, particularly in the services sector. To address this research gap, a multidimensional construct describing the five managerial behaviours associated with internal marketing conceptualized as IMO in alignment with market orientation (MO) has been tested to see how their integration relates with employee/customer satisfaction. The first stage involved a qualitative study to gain a deeper and better understanding of the IMO/MO constructs and their implementation in the commercial and universal banking sector in Ghana. The qualitative research findings independently established a strong association between IMO/MO and employee/customer satisfaction. The second stage employed a survey to test a conceptual framework based on the IMO/MO constructs using hypotheses formulated based on reviewed literature. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed to analyse the survey responses. The model demonstrated a good fit to the data in terms of face and content validity; convergent, discriminant and nomological validity; reliability and stability; and showing improvement to existing scales. A major contribution of this research was the use of a robust model that explained the application of the five dimensions of the IMO construct and their effect on employee in-role behaviour (IRB) to impact employee satisfaction within the Ghanaian banking sector. These findings were not totally consistent with various previous research works in the IMO literature. However, employee in-role behaviour (IRB) has been seen to drive market orientation, and market orientation has been established as a key driver of performance in terms of customer value and satisfaction. These findings are in support of established theoretical positions in the MO literature. Another contribution of the study to knowledge in managerial decision making is that, a better understanding and implementation of the IMO construct in the strategic planning efforts of the banks and subsequent employment in their business processes, and activities will positively affect employee job satisfaction. Effective staff commitment to duty will drive the banks’ prospects to exploit the vast opportunities in financial intermediation driven by liberalization and deepening of Ghana’s economic development and growth in higher levels of savings, investment, production and poverty alleviation. Again, positive in-role behaviours of the banks’ managers will affect their commitment to their subordinates in their work roles, and this will increase the responsiveness of staff to customers’ needs and wants. This process will create trust among customers to their banks to accept formal banking as a good, safe, convenient and rewarding experience.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines government policy on Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Nigeria, which was designed to provide equal access to quality learning for all children irrespective of their background. The underlying empirical research is a case study that focused on the issues of access to and quality of provision available to children from birth to 5 years in Early Childhood Education in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. The study explores these issues drawing on the views and lived experiences of practitioners, parents and policy makers in a group of preschools in Owerri, the state capital of Imo state. The aim is to understand how stakeholders in the case study settings perceive access to and quality of provision available to children, and also to establish if their experiences and views match or are at variance with government policy claims. Several authors have questioned the universal view of the concept of quality. For instance, the work of Dahlberg et al (2007) and, writing from an African perspective, Nsamenang (2008) have influenced the theoretical stance in this study. Employing an interpretivist approach this study explores the experiences and interpretations of various stakeholders in relation to quality and access in early years education in Owerri. Data was generated through semi-structured interviews with parents and teachers, questionnaires administered on employees of the Ministry of Education Imo state, observation of facilities in settings and analysis of policy documents. Findings revealed significant gaps between government policy and actual practice. Key areas of disconnect between policy and practice were varied experiences for children and families, contradictions and disparities in access to funding of early years education, professional development and conditions of service of early years teachers, and a general dissatisfaction with the state and the quality of provision in early childhood education settings.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo geral identificar as potencialidades do uso de aplicativos do smartphone - WhatsApp e o Imo - para a comunicação e interação de um grupo de surdos em espaços informais de aprendizagens. Tendo como referencial teórico-metodológico um conjunto de ferramentas advindas do pensamento de Michel Foucault e características da cultura surda em sua relação com as tecnologias digitais, a investigação se constituiu em uma abordagem qualitativa de inspirações etnográficas. Os sujeitos da pesquisa pertenciam a um grupo de surdos que, semanalmente, reunia-se em um espaço informal com o intuito de socializar experiências e discutir assuntos relacionados à cultura surda e à surdez. Os encontros, presenciais, totalizaram seis. Durante a semana que antecedia aos encontros, os surdos problematizavam as imagens enviadas pela pesquisadora que abordavam os temas que seriam discutidos e aprofundados. Para a produção de dados, utilizaram-se filmagens, entrevistas e observação direta e participante. A análise efetivada sobre o material de pesquisa permitiu a emergência de dois resultados, a saber: a) Os aplicativos WhatsApp e Imo como ferramentas potencializadoras da interação entre surdos e ouvintes e b) Os encontros informais como potencializadores de aprendizagens e fortalecimento da cultura surda. Tais resultados apontaram que os aplicativos potencializam a comunicação dos surdos e proporcionam aprendizagens, como leitura e escrita da língua portuguesa. Os aplicativos utilizados se tornaram espaços de troca de informações e mensagens, de bate-papo e entretenimento para os surdos do referido grupo. Ademais, permitiu que se estreitassem laços e ampliassem sua interação familiar e social.
The general aim of this present study was to identify the potentialities of the use of smartphone applications - WhatsApp and Imo - for the communication and interaction of a group of deaf people in informal learning spaces. The research was constituted in a qualitative approach of ethnographic inspirations having as theoretical-methodological reference a set of tools coming from the thought of Michel Foucault and of characteristics of the deaf culture in its relation with the digital technologies. The subjects of the research belonged to a group of deaf people who weekly met in an informal space with the purpose of socializing experiences and discussing issues related to deaf culture and deafness. Six personal meetings were totaled. The images sent by the researcher that addressed topics that would be discussed and deepened during the week before the meetings were questioned by the deaf. Filming, interviews and direct observation and participant were used for the production of data. The analysis carried out about the research material allowed the emergence of two results, namely: a) WhatsApp and Imo applications as potential tools for deaf and hearing interaction; and b) Informal meetings as learner enhancers and strengthening the deaf culture. These results pointed out that the applications enhance the communication of the deaf and provide learning, such as reading and writing the Portuguese language. The applications used became information and message exchange, chat and entertainment spaces for the deaf of the group. In addition, it allowed that they narrowed bonds and extended their familiar and social interaction.

Full textAbstract:
90% of global trade is transported by cargo ships, with fossil fuel being the dominant energy source used. As global trade increases, shipping will be in greater demand resulting in increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants negatively impacting the environment and human health. Carbon dioxide (CO2), our area of interest, is the number one contributing gas to global warming. We, therefore, examine the role of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in reducing CO2 emissions from shipping, and determine the progress made so far.
Our research reveals that progress in this area is on a slow trajectory. The current IMO regulations focus solely on energy efficiency measures that do not appear to be as successful as envisioned in reducing CO2 emissions. In addition, the concept of decarbonization of the sector, which would lead to zero emissions, is delayed. With this in mind, we provide recommendations regarding future IMO actions.

Vissa typer av cyberattacker har ökat kraftig mellan åren 2015 och 2016, detta uppmärksammas både i land och till sjöss. Med tanke på sjöfartens unika situation är det av intresse att undersöka hur rederier har valt att skydda sig mot cyberattacker. Fyra rederier har intervjuats angående IT-säkerheten på deras fartyg. Resultatet av intervjuerna har sedan ställts mot IMOs riktlinjer släppta år 2016 för att undersöka ifall det finns brister i IT-säkerheten på svenska fartyg. Resultatet visar att det finns brister på flera av rederierna som intervjuats framförallt i form av utbildning av personal. Resultatet visar också att det finns klara kontraster mellan mindre rederier och större rederier, där de mindre rederierna har färre åtgärder på plats medans de större rederierna har fler för att förhindra eller hantera en IT-attack.Certain types of cyber attacks have increased between 2015 and 2016, this is acknowledged both on land in the shipping sector. Given the unique situation of shipping, it is of interest to investigate how shipping companies have chosen to protect themselves from cyberattacks. Four shipping companies have been interviewed regarding the cybersecurity of their vessels. The results of the interviews have since been compared against IMO's guidelines released in 2016 to investigate whether there are deficiencies in cybersecurity on swedish ships. The results show that there are shortcomings in several of the shipping companies interviewed, primarily in the form of training of personnel. The result also shows that there are clear contrasts between smaller shipping companies and larger shipping companies, where the smaller shipping companies have fewer measures in place while the larger shipping companies have more to prevent or handle a cyberattack.

Full textAbstract:
Le norme stabilite dall’International Maritime Organization per la salvaguardia dell’ambiente marino obbligano gli operatori del settore marittimo a modificare le attuali strategie. Numerosi sono i fattori che influiscono sulla scelta degli interventi ottimali. Questa ricerca presenta un’analisi economica delle soluzioni alternative disponibili agli armatori nel breve periodo: installare a bordo nave tecnologie per l’abbattimento delle emissioni dei motori navali continuando a bruciare olio combustibile, sostituire il combustibile tradizionale con marine gas oil od effettuare un’alimentazione alternata tra combustibili a diverso tenore di zolfo in funzione dell’area di transito.
Per l’analisi prospettica e comparativa della variazione dei costi associati ai differenti interventi è stato pensato un modello di valutazione economica degli investimenti. A partire dalle caratteristiche tecniche e dal profilo operativo della nave, il modello restituisce indicatori economici per l’individuazione dell’investimento ottimale nello scenario di riferimento. Il modello consente di creare scenari ipotizzando variazioni nelle condizioni di investimento, nelle restrizioni ambientali e nelle previsioni di prezzo dei combustibili marini. Non sono considerate risposte strategiche delle società petrolifere in interventi strutturali sulle raffinerie che trasformerebbero l’offerta dei prodotti petroliferi
I risultati ottenuti dall’applicazione del modello a tre unità navali attualmente in attività e rappresentative di diverse tipologie di nave, incoraggiano gli armatori all’installazione a bordo nave di seawater scrubber tra le tecnologie di lavaggio degli scarichi dei motori navali. I risultati delle simulazioni mostrano che la variazione della spesa per il combustibile per la propulsione navale è un fattore determinante nella scelta della soluzione ottimale. Il profilo operativo, le condizioni di esercizio e la disponibilità di spazi a bordo nave influiscono sulla scelta finale.The new regulations of the International Maritime Organization, for the prevention of marine pollution by ships, are compelling the shipping industry to a change of strategy. Many factors influence the choice of the effective action plan. This research provides an economical analysis of the short term alternative options for ship owners: to fit exhaust gas cleaning system on board using heavy fuel oil; to burn marine gas oil or to switch from heavy fuel oil to low sulfur fuel entering emissions controlled and port areas. An economic evaluation model of investments has been developed in order to compare the future cash flows for the different solutions. Based on technical data of engines and operative vessel profiles, the model provides Net Present Value (NPV), Present Value ratio (PVratio), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and PayBack Period (PBP) as possible measurement tools to consider for the investment choice in the defined reference scenario. The model incorporates the possibility to create different scenarios by modifying investment conditions, environmental regulations and marine fuel price forecasts. The reaction of energy companies to fuel quality evolution could transform the present fuel oil offer and price trends. Actions on refinery configuration are not considered in the analysis. The results of the model application to three real vessels of different types (a tanker, a container and a passenger ship) encourage the ship owners to adopt the option of a seawater scrubber as exhaust gas cleaning system on board. The model shows that the difference of fuel costs for vessel propulsion is the main factor to be considered for the choice of the best economic solution. The operative vessel profile and the availability of space for scrubber fitting on board should also be considered in making the final decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Use of information and communication technology in formal education settings is a fundamental issue in management of education across the globe. But in Africa the issues takes a different turn as it regards to how to apply and utilize technology in education. Facility and technology experts have been on debate across board as the literature implies. Thus, understanding the digital native factors behind individuals’ application and utilization is central to the development of ICT in Nigeria and Africa in general. The main goal of this thesis was to explore factors influencing effective utilization of computer and ICT (Computer laboratories) in the secondary school level. However, in the literature the thesis identify issues affecting utilization of computer and ICT facilities in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA), Nigeria and secondary schools (SS). The thesis proposed the use of educational games to drive the concept of utilization of computer and ICT facilities in the educational sector. In addition to the main goal of the thesis, use of computer and ICT facilities in secondary schools are explored alongside teachers and students interest in educational games. Qualitative interviews and a questionnaire survey were used in conduct of the study. Thematic and descriptive analysis was used to analyze the qualitative and quantitative data respectively. The results indicate that computer and ICT facilities (Computer laboratories) were poorly utilized by teachers and students due to lack of funds, poor infrastructure and technology knowledge. The results also demonstrate that teachers and students have knowledge about educational games and are willing to apply it in teaching and learning. But the issues of application of educational games into the mainstream could be hindered by Government curriculum policy and infrastructural facilities. The study indicates the relevance of applying educational games in secondary schools to reduce the level of digital divide among graduates. This thesis further argues that the inclusion of educational games would encourage teachers and students to effectively utilization of computer and ICT Facilities (Computer laboratory).

"Tu ne cuiras pas le chevreau dans le lait de sa mère" est rapporté dans le Pentateuque, en ex 23,19, ex 34,26 et Dt 14,21, pourquoi cette répétition? Est-ce un effet de style, ou est-ce une source d'enseignements complémentaires ? En se basant seulement sur la littérature rabbinique, la thèse propose une réflexion sur cette pratique et ses explications en recherchant le plus important à nos yeux : L'évolution de la pensée rabbinique à travers les siècles. Seize raisons ont été réunies en quatre catégories. Les résultats sont analysés pays par pays, nonobstant l'époque, puis en tenant compte des dates des parutions mais pas le pays d'origine, pour définir s'il y a divergence de vue au sein d'un pays au cours du temps ou entre différents pays durant la même époque. Le constat sera fait sur l'uniformité des commentaires, sans évolution de la pensée expliquant le verset. Les quatre catégories définies se retrouvent durant toute la période couverte, du deuxième au vingtième siècle, et dans tous les pays étudiés, de Palestine à l'Egypte, en passant par l'Espagne, la France, l'Italie, la Pologne, la Russie et en revenant en Israël. Cela mènera à la tentative d'une synthèse, qui ressort d'une étude des six différents contextes autour de ces trois versets. Une spécificité de la littérature rabbinique est d'expliquer chaque verset par rapport à son contexte immédiat, c'est un "Hekesh". Le corpus s'étend à la Mishna, aux deux Talmuds, aux Midrashim "classiques" et à trente huit exégètes. La thèse soulève la question de ce petit nombre de commentateurs, pour avoir explicitement donné une raison à cet interdit. Les autres auteurs n'ont pas donné de "pourquoi" mais un "comment". En conclusion sont retenus les termes d'unité de temps et d'espace de la mise en pratique de cet interdit et de sa raison d'être dans la littérature rabbinique.

Full textAbstract:
This regional research was carried out in Owerri the capital of Imo State, one of the 36 states in Nigeria with the aim of investigating and identifying factors that are responsible for the lack of dyslexia awareness in the area. The study focused particularly on selected primary schools in Owerri West Local Government Area. The study is located in the context of contemporary discourse on dyslexia awareness in Owerri West. Primary source evidence and first hand information which were gathered through discussions and interviews with respondents confirms the status of originality on the findings of the research. Research carried out on database where nothing was found on dyslexia awareness in Owerri West is also evidence of originality of this study. The research sheds light on the effects the lack of dyslexia awareness has on teaching and learning in primary schools in Owerri West and in doing so draws attention to issues raised around the marginalisation of individuals with unidentified specific learning difficulties. A triangulation of qualitative data collection methods was employed to explore and understand disability beliefs, experiences, attitudes, behaviour and interactions with regards to the impact these have on inclusive practices. The findings from these studies were then analysed drawing on a range of disability models including the social model of dyslexia, the social, medical and moral models of disability, as well as social construction theory. This enabled the creation of a more explicit understanding of disability issues as it concerns the society investigated. The overall research findings, especially those derived from the interviews, highlight that factors affecting the lack of dyslexia awareness are located in the society’s predominant understanding of disability, the cultural perceptions of disability based on historical practices, incomprehensive disability definition featuring in policy and the lack of awareness of the nature and dimensions of invisible/hidden disabilities like dyslexia in national disability policy. Based on these findings the study concludes that ideologies around disability and inclusion are more geared towards the medical and moral models of disability. Furthermore, it concludes that the lack of an extensive understanding of disability and disability rights, which are very much features of a social model construct of disability, has impacted negatively on inclusive practices and perceived understanding of who is deemed educable. Following this, a number of recommendations were made including the need for robust teacher training programmes which will raise the awareness and understanding of dyslexia and in so doing improve the learning experiences of children with dyslexia.

Full textAbstract:
Liquefied Natural Gases (LNG) has been an alternative fuel in the marine industry for several years, but lately, the amount of ships that have been powered by methane has increased a lot. Some of the reasons for this is because LNG does not contain any sulfur and releases less nitrogen oxides than traditional maritime fuels. In this essay, LNG will be compared to diesel from an environmental perspective with focus on CO2 emissions and its equivalents. International Maritime Organization (IMO) implemented Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) requirements that adjusts how much CO2 is allowed in the exhaust gas per produced kilowatt-hour (kWh). However, these requirements will increase in intervals in the future, the next one is coming 2022 for specific ship types. The method that is used to compare the fuels is Mole-calculations for LNG as well as diesel, then calculate the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and its equivalents they release. The results show that under optimal conditions, LNG was the superior choice. However, the maritime industry might have a problem with the requirements that will be introduced to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2050.Flytande Naturgas (LNG) har under flera år funnits som ett alternativt bränsle inom sjöfarten, men på senare tid så har skeppen som drivs av metan ökat markant. En anledning till detta är att LNG innehåller inget svavel samt släpper ut mindre NOX jämfört med traditionella bränslen. I denna uppsats så kommer LNG att jämföras mot diesel ur ett klimatperspektiv med fokus på koldioxidutsläpp och dess ekvivalenter. International Maritime Organisation (IMO) har infört Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) krav som justerar hur mycket CO2 man får släppa ut per kilowattimme (kWh), dessa krav kommer dessutom att öka i flertalet intervaller i framtiden, varav nästa intervall redan sker i 2022 för speciella fartygstyper. Metoden som användes för att jämföra bränslena var att beräkna mol-innehållet för både LNG samt diesel, sen från den beräknade data se hur mycket koldioxid (CO2) inklusive ekvivalenter de släppte ut. Resultatet visade att under optimala förutsättningar så var LNG ett klart bättre alternativ än diesel. Däremot så kan sjöfarten ha ett problem inom framtiden från de krav som berör växthusgaser som kommer att ställas från och med 2050.

Full textAbstract:
Developing countries like Nigeria continue to have HIV epidemic challenge due to the scarcity of evidence-based information and lack of resources to boost HIV education. The study population, Owerri, is one of the states in Nigeria with a high incidence rate of HIV. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS regarding the effects of nonadherence to HIV/AIDS drugs. The integrated theory of health behavior model provided the framework for the study. I collected, transcribed, and analyzed interview data to identify clusters and themes. Results showed that various factors influenced and (e.g., free drugs, fear, culture, medication side effects, discrimination, relationship/support system, poverty, belief, easy access) contributed to adherence behavior among respondents. People living with HIV/AIDS may be encouraged to adhere to drug treatments because of these research findings. This study contributed to a positive social change in that respondents were excited and open about sharing their fears, challenges, struggles and hope with the anticipation to influence others to be open about their HIV disease.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em
Bioquímica Estrutural e FuncionalMost single domain proteins have the ability to fold spontaneously into a precise, functional three-dimensional structure in seconds or less. Understanding how this transition occurs will not only help to uncover the way in which an amino acid sequence encodes the corresponding structure but is also likely to provide insight into the folding/unfolding transitions that many proteins undergo as part of their normal functioning. The characterization of these states is particularly important because they often play crucial roles in folding and misfolding processes, responsible for many human neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. In this work, two well characterized proteins, Colicin immunity proteins Im7 and Im9, where used as model for a structural study involving two different approaches to promote their denaturation/unfolding. Im7 and Im9 share a high sequence and structural homology, but despite that fact they fold with different kinetic mechanism in vitro. By using 1H-15N HSQC spectra as a main tool, we have undertaken a comparative study to identify the residues more affected during the denaturation process of Im7 and Im9 promoted by a physical effect, temperature increase, and by a chemical agent, urea. Our aim was to detect possible similarities that could give insight into the aspects that govern folding/unfolding transitions. The results from the temperature study show that the residues most perturbed with increasing temperature are mostly located in loop regions between helices, while urea targets preferably residues that are accessible and solvent exposed. Our study, points out that the ends of well-structured helices can concertedly unfold without entering the mid region residues in the same unfolding process. There seems to be a correlation between dynamic residues (most affected by temperature) and the residues in the regions most perturbed by urea. The results shown that entire loop regions on both proteins may act as concerted units during the unfolding process, and contribute for favorable interactions that delimit and stabilize native-like structural features on the urea-unfolded state, allowing buried regions to be less solvent exposed.

Thesis, University of Hull, 1997. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:12776.
Full textAbstract:
The introduction of formal education in Nigeria can be traced back to 1842. It is hard to accept that since then no detailed research has been carried out, in order to monitor the progress of girls and women, because of the fact that Nigeria's social structure is deeply rooted in patriarchalism. Moreover, the History of Education in Nigeria (Fafunwa, 1974), does indicate quite vividly that in the early years, girls and women were denied formal education; and even when they were allowed to go to school, obstacles (including child marriage and domestic chores), were deliberately placed in their way. There is little doubt that in a male dominated society, the role of the female members can at best be subordinate and at worst invisible. This is because in such a society, male dominance is inevitable. This is partly why within the Nigerian educational context, girls' and women's progress in the various stages should be constantly checked and reappraised through educational studies and research. The early stages, (primary and secondary), are crucially important. The secondary sector for example does affect to a large extent what an individual can or cannot do in the future by way of career. The need for progress in the early phases cannot therefore be over emphasised. The revelation, (especially in the History of Education in Nigeria), about the existence of obstacles to female education in the early years of school education should have prompted educational research, which would among other things show whether the barriers are still there and whether they affect all stages of education with equal gravity. Such studies can also reveal various types of obstacles and highlight regional variations within the Nigerian society. For instance, it will be possible to investigate whether: a. there are more female educational barriers among the Christian communities than the Islamic ones. b. whether rural girls and women face additional barriers compared with their counterparts in the urban areas. c. the studies can also show to some extent how Nigerian girls and women are faring in educational terms as opposed to their counterparts in the other developing nations and even in the developed counties - by comparing research findings. This is important because from the roles which girls and women are playing in various parts of the world, an assessment can be made, in order to establish whether or not their Nigerian counterparts are lagging behind, and if that is the case - then the best way of addressing the problem will need to be sought.

Full textAbstract:
The catastrophic accident of the ferry Herald of Free Enterprise made it clear that the development of accident prevention in the maritime domain must not only rely on negative events but rather on proactive measures.Near-miss reporting is becoming widespread as a proactive tool for accident prevention in various domains. This thesis aims to examine and identify barriers to near-miss reporting through studying the national reporting system INSJÖ and local company specific systems in the Swedish maritime domain.Interviews with representatives from Swedish shipping companies (designated persons responsible for safety work in each company and officers responsible for the reporting at sea) were conducted as a means of data collection. Based on the data two separate analyses were made; one in a naturalistic fashion and one using a framework of barriers and incentives derived from various social technical domains in which near-miss reporting has been institutionalized.The results of the two analyses highlight differences regarding how and with whom information should be shared. The therapeutic factor, to teach and learn from others was emphasized as important by the majority of the interviewees. Further, potential external influences, issues concerning anonymity and the risk of rehearsed benefits of reporting are also made visible. Finally, critique against the accident-ratio models, that introduced the near-miss concept, is presented and it is argued that these models might be too simplistic to explain why accidents occur.It is concluded that, in order to create effective reporting systems and to decrease the risk of creating a disparity between rehearsed benefits and how the system is used in reality, it is important to give the personnel ownership of their own reporting system and the knowledge of how and why to use it. Nevertheless, near-miss reporting might be used as a powerful tool and incentive for proactive work and accident prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Toxicologia e EcotoxicologiaOrganotins (OTs) are organometallic compounds. Despite of the multiple applications of the OTs, the notoriety of these compounds is due to tributyltin (TBT), a potent biocide used in antifouling paints since the 60s to prevent biofouling on submerged surfaces, including the hulls of ships. Despite of the extreme effectiveness of these paints in combating biofouling, they are also extremely toxic to non-target organisms, therefore several legislative measures restricting their use were implemented in several countries worldwide. TBT causes a huge variety of adverse effects on non-target species (sublethal / lethal) of different taxonomic groups (from bacteria to mammals). The first evidence of adverse effects induced by TBT on non-target species emerged in the 70s in oysters of the species Crassostrea gigas in the Bay of Arcachon, France. Their shells have suffered thickening with consequent decrease in the volume of edible portion, reducing its commercial value. In the same decade was verified the occurrence of male sexual characteristics in female prosobranch gastropods (formation of a penis and / or development of a vas deferens), by exposure to TBT. This phenomenon was coined as "imposex" by Smith in 1971. The imposex is the best known example of endocrine disruption caused by a pollutant being used as a biomarker to monitoring the environmental pollution by TBT. The gastropods are used globally for monitoring environmental pollution by TBT. In the present work we studied how gastropods have been used to track the course of TBT pollution worldwide during the last decade (2003-2013), and the main results obtained. We searched for the number of published articles by year / continent and country regarding the bioindicator species most used in biomonitoring TBT pollution in function of their geographical location; we evaluated the efficacy of the AFS Convention in reducing TBT pollution worldwide; we evaluated the temporal evolution (2003-2013) of the levels of imposex by bioindicator species and geographical area, as well as the concentration of OTs in the biota, water and sediments. There was noticed an increase of the number of publications for monitoring environmental pollution by TBT in 2008, coincident with the time of entry into force of the AFS Convention and a gradual decrease of the number of publications from 2008 to 2013, after the entry into force of this Convention; most of the monitoring studies developed in the period 2003-2013 were conducted in Europe, followed by the continents: America, Asia, Africa e Oceania; in this period were used 96 bioindicator species of imposex, being that the 5 more used were: Nucella lapillus, Hexaplex trunculus, Nassarius reticulatus, Stramonita haemastoma and Thais clavigera. A greater diversity of bioindicators was used in America and Asia compared to Europe, whist Africa and Oceania were the continents with smaller number of bioindicator species used. Regardless of the geographic region, and despite the wide diversity of species used, the bioindicators were all caenogastropods (Subclass Caenogastropoda) and most frequently of Order Neogastropoda and Littorinimorpha, being the majority from family Muricidae. There was a decrease of the levels of imposex in the different bioindicators used by continent and country, as well as a decline of the concentrations of OTs in biota, water and sediments, by continent and country, since the entry into force of the AFS Convention in September 2008.
Os organoestânicos (OTs) são compostos organometálicos. Apesar das múltiplas aplicações dos OTs, a notoriedade destes compostos, no que diz respeito a fenómenos de poluição, é devida ao tributilestanho (TBT), um potente biocida usado em tintas antivegetativas desde a década de 60 para prevenir a bioincrustação nas superfícies imersas, nomeadamente nos cascos de embarcações. Apesar da extrema eficácia destas tintas no combate à bioincrustação são também extremamente tóxicas para organismos não-alvo pelo que várias medidas legislativas restringindo o seu uso foram implementadas em vários países. O TBT provoca uma enorme variedade de efeitos nefastos em espécies não- alvo (sub-letais / letais) de diferentes grupos taxonómicos (de bactérias a mamíferos). A primeira evidência de efeitos nefastos induzidos pelo TBT em espécies não alvo surgiu na década de 70 em ostras da espécie Crassostrea gigas na Baía de Arcachon, França. As suas conchas sofreram um espessamento com a consequente diminuição do volume da parte comestível, diminuindo o seu valor comercial. Na mesma década verificou-se a ocorrência de características sexuais masculinas em fêmeas de gastrópodes prosobrânquios (formação de um pénis e/ou desenvolvimento de um vaso deferente), por exposição ao TBT. Esse fenómeno foi designado de "imposex" por Smith em 1971. O imposexo é o melhor exemplo conhecido de disrupção endócrina provocada por um poluente sendo utilizado como biomarcador para monitorizar a poluição ambiental por TBT. resumo (cont.) Nesta tese fez-se um levantamento da metodologia utilizada na monitorização da poluição por TBT a nível mundial durante a última década (2003-2013), nomeadamente, o número de artigos publicados por ano/continente e país sobre as espécies bioindicadoras do imposexo mais utilizadas na biomonitorização da poluição por TBT nesta década e em função da sua localização geográfica. Neste trabalho avaliou-se, também, a eficácia da Convenção AFS na redução da poluição por TBT a nível mundial, através da evolução temporal (2003-2013) dos níveis de imposexo por espécie bioindicadora e zona geográfica, e avaliou-se a evolução temporal (2003-2013) da concentração de OTs no biota, água e sedimentos por zona geográfica. Verificou-se um aumento do número de publicações de monitorização da poluição ambiental por TBT em 2008, coincidente com o momento de entrada em vigor da Convenção AFS; um decréscimo gradual do número de publicações de 2008 a 2013, após a entrada em vigor da Convenção AFS; a maioria dos estudos de monitorização no período 2003-2013 foi realizada na Europa, seguindo-se os continentes: America, Ásia, África e Oceania; neste período foram usadas 96 espécies bioindicadoras de gastrópodes (imposex), sendo que as 5 mais utilizadas foram: Nucella lapillus, Hexaplex trunculus, Nassarius reticulatus, Stramonita haemastoma e Thais clavigera. Neste trabalho é possível verificar a utilização de uma maior diversidade de espécies bioindicadoras na América e na Ásia em relação à Europa, África e Oceania são os continentes que apresentam menor número de espécies bioindicadoras. Independentemente da região geográfica onde foram realizados os estudos, e apesar da grande diversidade de espécies utilizadas, os bioindicadores foram todos caenogastropodes (subclasse Caenogastropoda) e mais frequentemente das ordens Neogastropoda e Littorinimorpha, sendo a maioria da família Muricidae. Neste trabalho também é possível verificar descida dos níveis de imposexo nas diferentes espécies bioindicadoras, utilizadas por continente e país, e descida das concentrações de OTs no biota, água e sedimentos, por continente e país, desde a entrada em vigor da convenção AFS em Setembro de 2008.

Cette étude avait pour but de connaître la situation épidémiologique de la Guyane vis-à-vis du cancer entre 2005 et de 2014 en termes d’incidence et de mortalité, d’étudier l’évolution de ces indicateurs, de les comparer avec premièrement avec ceux de la France hexagonale sur l’année 2012 afin de mettre en en exergue les spécificités de la Guyane et de comparer ensuite ces dernières avec les Antilles et les pays de l’Amérique latine. Les bases de données du Registre des Cancers de Guyane et du CépiDC-INSERM nous ont permis de comptabiliser 4392 cas nouveaux cas et 1305 décès par cancers survenus en Guyane entre 2005 et 2014 et de mettre en évidence une sur-incidence et une surmortalité masculines tous cancers confondus. Chez l’homme, les cancers les plus fréquents et les plus mortels sur la période 2005-2014, par ordre d’importance dans la mortalité sur la période d’étude étaient : la prostate, le poumon, l’estomac, le foie, le côlon-rectum ainsi que le pancréas. Chez la femme, il s’agissait des cancers du sein, du col de l’utérus, du côlon-rectum, du poumon, de l’ovaire ainsi que du cancer de l’estomac. L’analyse tous cancers a montré que la situation épidémiologique vis-à-vis du cancer entre 2005 et 2014 était globalement plus favorable en Guyane par rapport à celle de la France hexagonale en 2012 avec une sous-incidence et une sous-mortalité tous cancers. Toutefois, les cancers et les décès par cancers survenaient beaucoup plus tôt en Guyane avec des médianes d’âge au diagnostic et au décès globalement inférieures à celles de la France hexagonale. En outre, le sexe ratio homme/femme était semblable pour l’incidence dans les deux territoires comparés et inférieur en Guyane par rapport à l’Hexagone en termes de mortalité, soit un écart plus réduit entre les hommes et les femmes en Guyane qui suggère une situation sanitaire vis-à-vis des cancers chez les femmes de la Guyane plus défavorable par rapport à celles de l’Hexagone. Entre 2005 et 2014* (*2012 pour l’Hexagone), l’incidence tous cancers étaient en baisse chez l’homme et en légère hausse chez la femme dans les deux territoires. Sur ces mêmes périodes, la mortalité par cancer était en recul chez l’homme et en légère augmentation chez la femme en Guyane alors que l’incidence et la mortalité sont en baisse en France hexagonale. Certains cancers en Guyane étaient en hausse par rapport à l’Hexagone (poumon, côlon-rectum, sein, thyroïde, myélome multiple et plasmocytome).A travers l’analyse par principales localisations tumorales, nous avons pu montrer que la Guyane présentait d’énormes disparités communales d’une part et des spécificités par rapport à l’Hexagone, d’autre part, avec certains cancers sur-représentés en termes d’incidence et de mortalité (prostate, estomac, col de l’utérus, myélome multiple et plasmocytome avec une inversion du sexe ratio pour cette dernière localisation). L’analyse comparative de ces cancers entre la Guyane, les Antilles françaises et l’Amérique du sud a révélé des profils épidémiologiques similaires avec certains pays de l’Amérique latine notamment pour les cancers du col de l’utérus et de l’estomac.Ces spécificités reflètent les multiples particularités de la Guyane : jeunesse, inégalités sociales, composition ethnique, climat, plus grande sédentarité et obésité, moindre consommation d’alcool et de tabac, carences…autant de facteurs qui façonnent le risque de cancer. Cette étude cadre avec les exigences du Plan Cancer en vigueur en France depuis 2003 et ses résultats pourront servir à mettre en place des actions de prévention et de prise en charge thérapeutique des cancers en Guyane. Elle mérite d’être approfondie par des études sur le stade au diagnostic et la survie des cancers pour avoir un plus large panorama de la situation épidémiologique en GuyaneThe purpose of this study was to know the epidemiological situation of French Guiana with regard to cancer between 2005 and 2014 in terms of incidence and mortality, to study the evolution of these indicators, to compare them with those of mainland France for 2012 in order to highlight the specificities of French Guiana and then compare them with the Antilles and Latin America.The databases of the French Guiana Cancer Registry and CépiDC-INSERM identified 4,392 new cases and 1,305 cancer deaths in French Guiana between 2005 and 2014 and highlighted an excess incidence and mortality in men. The most frequent and fatal cancers in men over the 2005-2014 period, ranked by mortality were: prostate, lung, stomach, liver, colon-rectum and pancreas. In women, the most frequent and fatal cancers were breast, cervix, colon-rectum, lung, ovary, and cancer of the stomach.The analysis of incidence and mortality of all cancers showed that the epidemiological situation between 2005 and 2014 was more favorable overall in French Guiana than in mainland France in 2012. However, cancers and cancer deaths occur much earlier in French Guiana with younger median age of at diagnosis and at death than in France. In addition, the sex ratio was similar for incidence and lower in French Guiana than in France in terms of mortality, i.e. a smaller gap between men and women in French Guiana which suggests a more unfavorable situation among women in French Guiana than in France. Between 2005 and 2014 * (* 2012 for France), the incidence of all cancers declined in men and slightly increased in women in the two territories. Cancer mortality declined in men and slightly increased in women in French Guiana, while incidence and mortality both declined in mainland France. Certain cancers in French Guiana were on the rise compared to France (lung, colon-rectum, breast, thyroid, multiple myeloma and plasmacytoma).Through the spatial analyzes, we were able to show that French Guiana presented municipal disparities. In comparison with France, certain cancers were over-represented in terms of incidence and mortality (prostate, stomach, cervix, multiple myeloma and plasmacytoma with an inversion of the sex ratio for the latter location). The comparative analysis of these cancers with the West Indies and the countries of Latin America has shown similar epidemiological profiles according to the type of cancer and the region of the world considered. French Guiana often has a profile that resembles Latin America for cervical cancer and gastric cancer.These specificities reflect the many particularities of French Guiana: youth, social inequalities, ethnic composition, climate, greater sedentary lifestyle and obesity, lower consumption of alcohol and tobacco, deficiencies ... all factors that shape the risk of cancer.This study is in line with the requirements of the French Cancer Plan and its results could be used to implement actions for the prevention and therapeutic management of cancers in French Guiana. Further studies on the stage at diagnosis and survival of cancers seem important in order to have a broader overview of the epidemiological situation in French Guiana
