The Kleine-Levin syndrome is a rare pathology characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia associated with behavioral and cognitive disorders with, among others, hyperphagia and hypersexuality. The disease mainly affects young males. A few studies mention cases that occurred in Africa, especially in Côte d’Ivoire. In this paper, we report the very first two cases observed in the Neurology Department of the University Hospital of Cocody. The diagnosis was clinical, based on the recurrence of hypersomnia, cognitive and behavioral disorders during the periods of hypersomnia, and the return of patients to normal state between episodes. This diagnosis was delayed due to failure to understand the pathology, thereby leading patients to wandering. In fact, the two patients were consulted, respectively, 3 years and 6 years after the hypersomnia began. The objective was to report the very first cases observed in the Neurology Department of the University Hospital of Cocody, Côte d’Ivoire.

Objectives. Postpartum haemorrhage is one of several direct causes of maternal death in Côte d’Ivoire. It is recurrent in the department of gynaecology and obstetrics at Bouaké University Hospital (CHU de Bouaké), but little is known to date about the underlying risk factors. The present study aims to describe the levels and trends displayed by the risk factors of postpartum haemorrhage before determining the contributing social factors in the aforesaid department. Material and methods. This study is retrospective in nature, concerning the period from 2014 to 2016. Data was obtained from delivery records and through individual interviews. The overall approach adopted is an anthropological one. Results. Postpartum haemorrhage is significant in light of its very high and increasing incidence (22.31%) among multiparous mothers. Within the latter category, fatal complications are a critical problem, with an annual average estimated at 35.98% and on the rise. The overall situation is alarming in view of this progressive deterioration. The persistence of the reproductive morbidity is attributable to various economic, social, cultural, and infrastructural factors. Conclusions. Communicational strategies are proposed as a type of community intervention conducive to social and behavioural change, with multiparous mothers as a priority target group, followed by older mothers in the medium term and by adolescent mothers in the long term. This should raise awareness about high-risk reproductive behaviours and practices as well as the environmental, economic, social, cultural, and infrastructural factors correlated to postpartum haemorrhage, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality and safety of reproductive practices. Keywords: postpartum haemorrhage, reproductive behaviour, high risk, obstetric emergency, maternal morbidity, Côte d’Ivoire.

ABSTRACTCôte d'Ivoire has travelled full circle from economic success (from 1960 to about 1979) to failure (from the 1980s onwards) in little more than a generation. In the early 1990s, Zouglou, today Côte d'Ivoire's internationally best-known music, emerged at the university residences of the University of Abidjan in the Yopougon quarter. The young people who were to become the ‘Zouglou generation’ were precisely the generation that bore the brunt of this economic deterioration. Zouglou was born at a time when, as a result of an unprecedented economic crisis and the attendant structural adjustment measures, university students experienced a general downgrading not only as students but also as future graduates hoping to find employment. In addition, the number of students and school pupils who were unable to complete their education grew considerably during this time. As this article demonstrates, these phenomena had a profound influence on the development of the philosophy associated with Zouglou music. Accordingly, Zouglou singers have called themselves the ‘sacrificed generation’. Indeed, the many songs about orphans in Zouglou music can be read as a symbolic statement about this experience: the sense that Ivoirian youth have been abandoned by their elders, their families and the political authorities is unmistakable in the words of Zouglou songs consoling such (metaphorical) orphans. Zouglou music has become an important platform through which this generation has been able to express itself, as well as a site for oral street poetry and collective catharsis. The article discusses the content of these songs, as well as interviews with Zouglou singers on this matter, to investigate how Zouglou, as a cultural phenomenon, grew out of the experience of a generation.

Studies in Côte d’Ivoire on the issue of the integration of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in university teaching show relatively large variations in the perceptions of these technologies and their use in university pedagogy among teacher-researchers from different generations. This article aims to analyze, on the basis of two qualitative surveys using interview guides and direct observation at the University Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan, variations that can be observed in the collection and use of ICTs for university teaching by Ivorian teacher-researchers from different generations as well as the consequences of these changes on the success of programs to integrate digital technologies at this university.Des études réalisées en Côte d’Ivoire sur la question de l’intégration des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) dans la pédagogie universitaire montrent des variations relativement importantes dans la perception de ces technologies et dans leur utilisation pour la pédagogie universitaire entre les enseignants-chercheurs de différentes générations. Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser à partir de deux enquêtes qualitatives, réalisées à l’aide de guides d’entretien et d’une observation directe effectuée à l’Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny (UFHB) d’Abidjan, les variations qui peuvent être observées dans la perception et l’usage des TIC pour la pédagogie universitaire par des enseignants-chercheurs ivoiriens de différentes générations et les conséquences de ces variations sur le succès de programmes d’intégration des technologies numériques dans cette université.MOTS CLÉS  Fracture numérique; TIC et pédagogie; dynamique intergénérationnelle
