Madagascar is severely affected by the problem of children malnutrition. The present study aimed at exploring school children Malagasy parents' food practices and beliefs structures about the nutritional value of foods, to better understand the causes of this malnutrition.

Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-Boronolide
2002
The delta-lactone boronolide (+)-1, a pharmacologically active, naturally occurring product, has been synthesized in enantiopure form with L-erythrulose as the chiral starting material. The key steps of the synthesis were a highly stereoselective aldol-reduction one-pot sequence, an indium-mediated diastereoselective aldehyde allylation, and a ring-closing metathesis.

En ligne sur : http://2012.economicsofeducation.com/user/pdfsesiones/064.pdf; Using data from a survey conducted recently in Madagascar, the article analyzes what teachers and school directors do when they are at work and how they manage the pedagogical process. The results show that in only 15 percent of the sample schools do all of the teachers and school directors consistently perform the tasks considered essential to their role. Engagement at work is found to be significantly lower among contract teachers than among civil service teachers, and the ability of teachers to manage the pedagogical process does not improve with accumulated experience. Other noteworthy features in the importan…

Ce phénomène est lié au développement voulu et obtenu des scolarités primaires.Pour diverses raisons, l'école moyenneconstitue un cycle terminal pour la grande majorité des enfants qui la fréquentent. Son organisation actuelle, telle qu'on peut l'observer dans différents pays, est cependant très proche du collège secondaire français et donc inapte à fournir le cadre adéquat pour un cycle terminal générateur de progrès économiques et sociaux.Bâti sur cette problématique de l'articulation entre les flux d'élèves, les contenus pédagogiques et les modalités d'organisat…

In a broad sense Education for All (EFA) is a hazardous Issue for to the least developed countries, and yet it adds, almost always, for these countries to provide additional difficulty for initial learning periods when majority in pupils has to assume the route from the local language to the teaching one. Besides, adapting in this context the provision of education has often done under the financial constraint. The hiring for supplementary teachers, as to reach EFA goal, less paid in comparison to their older colleagues. So now the teacher staff is consequently represented by new teachers with fewer initial education and pedagogical training, but definitely closer to the communities. The re…
Prevention of Tungiasis and Tungiasis-Associated Morbidity Using the Plant-Based Repellent Zanzarin: A Randomized, Controlled Field Study in Rural Ma…
2013
Background Tungiasis, a parasitic skin disease caused by the female sand flea Tunga penetrans, is a prevalent condition in impoverished communities in the tropics. In this setting, the ectoparasitosis is associated with important morbidity. It causes disfigurement and mutilation of the feet. Feasible and effective treatment is not available. So far prevention is the only means to control tungiasis-associated morbidity. Methodology In two villages in Central Madagascar, we assessed the efficacy of the availability of closed shoes and the twice-daily application of a plant-based repellent active against sand fleas (Zanzarin) in comparison to a control group without intervention. The study pop…
Managing for results in Primary Education in Madagascar
2010
The impact of specific actions designed to streamline and tighten the workflow processes of key actors in Madagascar's primary education sector are evaluated. To inform the strategy for scaling up, a randomized experiment was carried out over two school years. The results show that interventions at the school level, reinforced by interventions at the subdistrict and district levels, succeeded in changing the behavior of the actors toward better management of key pedagogical functions. In terms of education outcomes, the interventions improved school attendance, reduced grade repetition, and raised test scores (particularly in Malagasy and mathematics), although the gains in learning at the …
