Abstract

In order to promote the nourishment of carp in farming, four foods have been created from traditional raw materials and containing different quantities of locally produced banana flour 3%, 6%, 10%. We tested these foods which contain 36% crude proteins and 8% lipids on carp fry with an initial weight of 9g. After 50 days of experiment, the final weights of the fish fluctuated between 121.53g and 122.45g depending on the treatments used. The food containing 10% banana flour and the control food showed the highest growth and food transformation rates, with specific growth rates (SGR) of 5.18%/d and 5.14% /d as well as a conversion rate of 1.17 and 1.15 while the food with 6% banana flour obtained a SGR of 5.15 and a conversion index (CI) of 1.15 while that the food with 3% obtained a SGR of 5.14 and a CI of 1.16. Thanks to this test, we were able to observe the impact of bananas on the premature development of tilapia. We will continue to study the use of local agri-food by-products and waste in feeding this fish.

Abstract

This study explores the viability of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo subsp. Pepo) as unconventional sources for sustainable winemaking, contributing to a zero-waste circular economy in viticulture. The research employs a multidimensional methodology encompassing chemical analyses, sensory evaluations, and environmental impact assessments to scrutinize the entire lifecycle of wine production. The findings reveal watermelon wine's superiority, boasting a 14° alcohol content, while pumpkin wine ranges at 11°. Both wines maintain physico-chemical and organoleptic attributes, with minimal alterations in micronutrient content. The compost generated from processing waste contains essential nutrients for plant growth. Comparative analysis underscores the advantageous nature of this compost, laying the foundation for sustainable winemaking practices in Madagascar and illuminating the untapped potential of tropical fruits in the global viticultural landscape. This study, pioneering the valorization of unconventional fruit and vegetable in Madagascar, strives to contribute to the discourse on environmentally conscious winemaking, fostering a paradigm shift toward ecologically harmonious practices in the agro-industrial sector.

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected world, digital tools are rapidly revolutionizing the methods of teaching and learning foreign languages. In Madagascar, a nation undergoing continuous development, the use of the social platform Facebook is emerging as a powerful catalyst for practicing foreign languages such as French and English for secondary school students. In the digital era, where geographical boundaries are losing significance and learning opportunities are endless, the question emerges: "How can the use of Facebook benefit the learning of foreign languages in Malagasy secondary schools?" Despite the prominent status of these international languages and their importance for development, many challenges remain in making them accessible to all. Even after six years of studying English and starting French from their first year of school, secondary school students still face obstacles in learning and practicing these languages, particularly in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, oral expression, and motivation. In this context, a study conducted during the 2023-2024 school year over a two-month period surveyed 78 students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades at FJKM Rasalama Manjakaray College, Lycée Privé Fanovozantsoa Ivato, FJKM Fahasoavana Androndra College, FJKM Andriamanarefo High School, and Lycée Privé Rakoto Benjamin Jean Ambohidroa in Antananarivo on their use of Facebook to practice French and English in their daily lives. Simultaneously, 11 French and English teachers were also interviewed about the impact of this social network on their teaching practices and the learning of these foreign languages. The results revealed that many students use this platform as a valuable tool for learning and practicing foreign languages, particularly for acquiring new vocabulary and improving pronunciation, as well as in commenting on posts in French and English. Similarly, the teachers interviewed reported concrete benefits, such as increased student motivation through listening to and watching videos selected or recommended by native teachers or by the students themselves, as well as their active participation in French and English-speaking groups. Despite these advantages, spelling and/or grammar mistakes are observed on social networks, which may undermine their reliability as educational models. Therefore, it is important to find reliable and professional pages and groups, such as those recommended by teachers. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance and effectiveness of social networks as a platform for learning foreign languages in Malagasy schools. This underscores the vital importance of new technologies as innovative tools in the field of education in Madagascar, offering young people unprecedented access to educational resources.

Abstract

This study examines child begging in Analakely, a neighborhood of the Malagasy capital, by exploring the socio-economic, cultural, and familial dynamics that perpetuate this practice. Through daily interviews with children and adults over five days, a deductive approach was used to test hypotheses based on Bourdieu's theory of genetic structuralism. The analysis reveals that children are often introduced to begging at a young age, internalizing values such as family solidarity, resourcefulness, and dignity in poverty, which reinforce their commitment to this practice. Social networks within these communities play a crucial role by providing children with the resources needed to survive and instilling in them a perception of begging as a socially and economically viable activity. This research highlights the need for an integrated and comprehensive approach to address child begging by targeting the underlying causes of this phenomenon.

Abstract

Three distinct varieties of Sechium edule (dark green, light green, and white) were procured from the Vontovorona open-air market. The chayotes were thoroughly washed and peeled, and their peel, flesh, and seed, whether raw, boiled, or steamed were analyzed for their phytonutraceutical components. Each part was then dried in a dehydrator at 41°C for 48 hours, ground, and placed in sachets. Mineral micronutrient content was assessed using portable X-ray fluorescence equipment, revealing magnesium as the predominant element across all varieties. Specifically, magnesium content in the dark green variety ranged from 1.01% to 2.32%, in the light green variety from 1.13% to 2.32%, and in the white variety from 1.64% to 3.42%. Macronutrient analysis, performed via the Kjeldahl method, indicated moisture content variations in the dark green variety from 84.58% to 90.37%, in the light green variety from 72.87% to 91.74%, and in the white variety from 84.93% to 92.87%. Phytochemical screening identified the presence of flavonols specifically in the raw white variety.

Abstract

Faced with the rapid degradation of ecosystems, the ecological emergency is now undeniable according to global scientific analyses. In this context, protected areas, through shared governance, have emerged as one of the most effective strategies for preserving biodiversity and ultimately ensuring the survival of humanity. Madagascar, which has embraced this shared governance, relies on its local communities, the fokonolona, to ensure its effectiveness. However, these communities, living in precarious conditions, are heavily dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods and benefit little from the advantages of protected areas. Their adherence to the concept of protected areas remains uncertain. A field study revealed that while 52% support the concept of protected areas, 44% are not convinced. Nevertheless, since it is a state policy, all natural resource users have accepted it. One of the primary motivations for the fokonolona is the preservation of their cultural and natural heritage. They therefore advocate for joint co-management that guarantees their participation in inclusive local governance for their engagement in the protected area. 93% of respondents believe that this co-management should be conducted through a commons-based approach, which is well-rooted in their organization. Even other users, in order to defend their interests, aspire to this approach where all users define the rules for resource management themselves. However, this commons-based approach does not seem suitable for all categories of protected areas, including natural parks, which is the option chosen by the manager for Sahamalaza – Iles Radama.

Abstract

This study was conducted in the urban areas of Antananarivo 5 and Morarano, with the aim of examining the correlations between gender, education level, and the different forms of violence experienced by residents. A total of 500 participants, equally distributed between the two areas, were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between gender and education level, suggesting that a certain gender profile is associated with a lower level of education. Furthermore, education level showed moderate negative correlations with all forms of violence studied, indicating that a higher level of education could act as a protective factor against violence. The different types of violence were also interconnected, with psychological violence being positively correlated with physical, economic, and sexual violence.
