De nomade à entrepreneur by Mira Korkoi David

“…The focus will be on the transformation of local actors, from a nomadic identity to that of entrepreneurs, through the examination of two major factors: the skills derived from nomadism and the social organization based on Amazigh kinship.Merzouga is an oasis village whose formation dates back to the 1930s when settled nomads began practicing oasis agriculture there. The population, mostly attached to the Aït Khebbach, an Amazigh tribal group, experienced a major economic upheaval during French colonization, marking the end of pastoralism as it was previously practiced. …”

Sequential prenatal diagnosis of fetal skeletal dysplasia: A cohort study by Mengting Jiang, Bin Zhang, Jing Wang, Wei Qiao, Xiuzhen Mao, Bin Yu

“…The detection rate of monogenic abnormalities in short long bones with other skeletal abnormalities was 62.5% (10/16), which was higher than that in short long bones with non‐skeletal abnormalities 10.5% (2/19), and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.003). Conclusions SD is mostly caused by monogenic abnormalities, and prenatal WES has significantly improved the detection rate of SD fetuses. …”
