Abstract:
This article shows how French doctors based in Saint-Louis-du-Sénégal, the capital of colonial Senegal, conceptualised the Senegambian region as a diseased environment and Africans as carriers of infectious agents. It explains how perceptions of the hot tropical climate, combined with outbreaks of epidemic diseases and seasonal allergies, were instrumental in the processes of urban transformation through hygienic measures such as waste removal, the closing of cemeteries, and the imposition of new building codes. The article also shows how the stigmatisation of Africans was implicated in the forced removal of the urban poor – firstly from the city centre, and later from the entire city-island. Colonial medical knowledge in Senegal was initially based on the miasma theory, however, germ theory was adopted in the aftermath of the 1900 yellow fever epidemic. Both theories, in relation with racialism, impacted the urban landscape in Saint-Louis, Senegal.

Abstract:
Abstract Sanofi Espoir Foundation evaluated impact of its decade long investments, in the amount of over 5 million Euros, on addressing health inequalities globally. Focusing on Saint-Louis department in Senegal, they have mapped specific profiles' experience like pregnant teenager suffering from community stigma, and finally linked each key moment with the health determinants, actors and initiatives. This study puts into perspective the impact the health system, including healthcare practitioners, can have on the pregnancy experience in regards of the influence of other determinants such as religion, culture, education, transportation, labor conditions, physical environment, health habits as well as local actors and initiatives. Each social determinant is highly and quite equally influencing the ante- and post-natal experience of the women, whereas the health system is the key factor during childbirth experience. If social determinants in health are well known, they are not reflected as such into health programs and funding processes. Maternal and newborn health in vulnerable situations is not simply a technical concern but a complex social issue that needs to be managed with an integrated, specifically “local” approach, transforming the objective 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals about partnering and breaking down silos, from an abstract paradigm into a daily process, thanks to community engagement and global accompaniment.

Abstract:
L’arrivée des femmes d’Afrique sur le champ de la littérature écrite était attardée à cause d’un ensemble des facteurs, nommément: la scolarisation insuffisante des filles, le facteur familial, culturel, religieux. Avant les indépendances, l’image de la femme africaine présentée dans l’écriture des romanciers africains était très dégradante. Elle a été présentée comme objet de domination patriarcale, qui n’avait ni voix ni personnalité. Les femmes africaines étaient vues comme des personnes qui devaient accomplir les travaux routiniers du foyer sans poser des questions. Elles acceptaient leur condition car elles n’avaient pas les moyens et la détermination de réfuter ou de rejeter la subjugation de l’homme. Heureusement, l’indépendance de la plupart des pays francophones en 1960 a incité des transformations sociales qui affectaient les femmes dans tous les aspects de vie. Avec la proclamation en 1970 de l’Année internationale de l’éducation, l’Unesco a abrogé l’inégalité d’accès des femmes à l’éducation. L’instruction permettait ainsi à la femme de se réveiller et de prendre conscience de sa position inférieure. Les nouvelles technologies, telles que la presse et la radio, ont contribué aux changements des mentalités de femmes. Ainsi, après un long silence qui a suivi la publication de Ngonda de la Camerounaise Marie-Claire Matip, publié en 1956, et Rencontres essentielles d’une autre Camerounaise Thérèse Kuoh Moukoury en 1969, les premiers ouvrages littéraires féminins ont été publiés au milieu des années 1970, précisément, 1975, consacré années internationale de la femme. En bref, la littérature féminine d’Afrique francophone est devenue une littérature engagée et un moyen puissant de conscientisation. Dans leur écriture les écrivaines condamnaient l’oppression des hommes à travers les thèmes majeurs tels que le mariage, la polygamie, la circoncision, etc. Elles ont commencé à décrire les femmes africaines comme intelligentes, actives, capables, déterminées et à la recherche de justice. On note que le Sénégal est le premier territoire d’Afrique francophone, avec une prédominance islamique, qui a produit un grand nombre de romancières. Elles ont écrit et exposé les multiples tendances sociales qui affectent les sénégalaises, parmi lesquelles la polygamie (Stringer, 1996 :15). Ces multiples tendances amènent les critiques littéraires à considérer les divers thèmes analytiques du problème de l’oppression des femmes au Sénégal et en Afrique en général. Néanmoins, cette recherche littéraire a pour objectif d’analyser le thème de la polygamie et ses conséquences négatives sur les enfants et les hommes dans Une si longue lettre de Mariama Bâ, La Grève des bàttu d’Aminata Sow Fall et Le Ventre de l’Atlantique de Fatou Diome. L’accent jusqu’à présent était sur les effets délétères sur les femmes, sans l’analyse de son impact négatif sur les hommes et les enfants. C’est sur ce fond que cette recherche va tenter d’évaluer les raisons cachées de la polygamie et jusqu'à quel point la polygamie abaisse les hommes et mène à l’abus des enfants. Nous allons citer les cas tiré des oeuvres des trois auteurs féminines qui sont citoyennes du Sénégal.<br>Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2010.

Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is becoming more persistent because of the widespread distribution of intermediate host snails in several regions of Africa, including Senegal. The intermediate snail host of the human intestinal schistosome is Biomphalaria pfeifferi and is permanently present in northern Senegal because of the presence of the abundant freshwater habitat throughout the year. Here, we observed the seasonal variation in B. pfeifferi abundance in the Saint-louis region at the North of Senegal in West Africa. We performed snail and environmental parameter sampling across two different seasons described for Senegal: a dry season that runs roughly from mid-October to mid-June and a rainy season that spans approximately from late June to early October. We also split the dry season into two categories representing periods of time when water temperatures were either decreasing (dry1) or increasing (dry2). We used regression analyses to model snail density across the seasons and investigated which environmental variables influenced snail abundance. Results suggested that snails were more abundant and peaked during the rainy season, which lowest abundances during the dry season when temperatures were declining. The above seasonal variations of snail density were positively linked to the environmental drivers including periphyton (food resource for snails), aquatic vegetation abundance, water temperature and dissolved oxygen and negatively to both pH and water conductivity. Our findings may be useful for snail control efforts by targeting specific periods and/or site conditions when snail abundances are greatest.
