Boats and ocean liners anchored in Saint George’s harbor, Grenada. A yacht with what appears to be the name Sans Souci is flying a United States of America and the Grenadan flag (1967-1974). In 1967 when Grenada became a British Associated State, it adopted a blue-yellow-green flag with a nutmeg in the center. The nutmeg represented Grenada’s position as the “Spice Isle” and is also featured on the Coat of Arms. This flag was used until 1974 when Grenada gained independence. Merchant Vessel (MV) Geestcape, partially pictured, entered service in 1966. In 1935, the Van Geest brothers in Spalding, United Kingdom started a horticultural business. The brothers later expanded their business to include a cargo service to carry horticultural produce, primarily bananas, from the Windward and Leeward Islands to Europe. MV Geestcape is also flying the flag of the British Merchant Navy, a red flag with the Union Jack in the upper left corner. Motor Ship (MS) Renaissance, behind MV Geestcape, was built in 1966. Until 1977, Renaissance operated primarily on the Marseille-Haifa route under Compagnie Navigation de Paquet (Croiseres Paquet), Marseille, France. The cruise liner had many subsequent owners throughout her history, until her disposal in 2010. She is pictured here flying the French flag. In the distance overlooking the harbor is Fort George, Grenada’s oldest fort which was built by the French in 1705. Fort George continues (2013) to function as the headquarters for the Royal Grenada Police Force, which it has housed since 1854 when the Colonial Government took over control of the fort. Slide labeled Grenada Harbor.

Résumé : Does the language in which the instructions are formulat- ed affect the execution of a bilingual's motor task? The first experiment studies whether the language used for the instructions influences the motor performances among bilingual children in situation of learning. Eighty bilin-gual French/Creole children (age means 10.4) were distributed into two experimental groups to learn how to perform a motor task. One group received instructions in French and the other one in Creole. The data suggest that the language of presentation affects the execution of a motor task. Both groups had the same performance level at the beginning of the experiment. We noticed that the group taught in Creole obtained better performances than the group taught in French at the end of the learning situation. The results are discussed in terms of their implications to physical education and motor rehabilitation of bilinguals. The two following experiments reported in the present paper concern (i) the differential imagery value of French and Creole and (ii) the influence of language on the recall of sequences of patterned movements in a bilingual population. Creole words were obtained a higher imagery value than French words, certainly because Creole is an oral and vernacular language. Motor recall scores were better when the sequence was presented in Creole compared to French. The generation of visual images by Creole would facilitate the memorization and recall of new sequences of movements. The effect of language on imagery value of words and motor recall among bilingual French–Creole subjects was discussed in terms of nature of information encoding in each language. The goal of the fourt and last study tries to know the language impact on the movement imagery ability of guadeloupean children. A person is able to represent verbal information with an image (Denis, 1989; Paivio, 1986). The language can he influence this ability on bilingual individuals? If Creole has more to do with image than French (Michelot, 2000), this survey considers a distinct language influence on the mental images vividness specified by guadeloupean children. 123 secondary school pupils (average age 13.45) altogether accepted to fill in the Movement Imagery Questionnaire of Hall and Pongrac (1983). This test enables to measure the rapidity of visual and kinaesthetic images. The “Creole” group (59 children; average age 13. 43) got the MIQ translated in Creole and the “French” group (64 children; average age 13.46) the French version of the test. Finally, language does not generally influence the movement imagery capacity. Yet, the kinaesthetic images are more vivid in French than in Creole for the subjects tested, aged from 11 to 13. The subjects aged from 14 to 16 have, only in Creole, more vivid visual images than the subjects aged from 11 to 13. The language affects the movement imagery ability with age of this guadeloupean children.
L'exécution d'une tâche motrice chez des bilingues est-elle affectée par la langue dans laquelle les consignes sont formulées ? Une première expérience a été menée en vue d'analyser si la langue de présentation des consignes influence les performances motrices d'enfants bilingues en situation d'apprentissage. Quatre-vingt bilingues français/créole (âge moyen : 10,4 ans) ont été répartis dans deux groupes expérimentaux afin d'apprendre à réaliser une tâche motrice, l'un recevant les consignes en français et l'autre en créole. Les données suggèrent que la langue de présentation affecte l'exécution d'une tâche motrice. Le groupe enseigné en créole obtient de meilleures performances en fin d'apprentissage comparativement à celles obtenues par le groupe enseigné en français, alors que les deux groupes ont au départ un niveau comparable. Ces résultats sont discutés sur le plan de leur implication pour l'éducation physique et la réadaptation motrice des bilingues. Les deux expérimentations suivantes évaluent (i) la valeur d'imagerie de mots et (ii) le rappel moteur d'enchaînements auprès de bilingues français–créole en faisant varier la langue de présentation. Les mots en créole, supposés susciter plus facilement des images mentales visuelles, car le créole est une langue orale et vernaculaire, ont effectivement obtenu une cote plus élevée que les mots français sur l'échelle de valeur d'imagerie. L'évocation d'images visuelles facilitant la mémorisation et la planification de séquences de mouvements, les performances de rappel obtenues à partir des consignes en créole ont été supérieures à celles obtenues en français. Les effets de la langue de présentation sur la valeur d'imagerie des mots et le rappel moteur d'enchaînements de morphocinèses auprès des participants bilingues sont discutés en termes de nature d'encodage de l'information verbale dans chacune des langues. L'objectif de cette quatrième et dernière recherche est de connaître l'impact de la langue sur la capacité d'imagerie du mouvement d'enfants guadeloupéens. Un individu peut se représenter des informations verbales sous une forme imagée (Denis, 1989; Paivio, 1986). La langue peut-elle influencer cette capacité chez des individus bilingues ? Le créole étant plus imagé que le français (Michelot, 2000), nous prévoyons une influence distincte de la langue sur le degré de vivacité des images mentales. Cent-vingt-trois collégiens guadeloupéens (âge moyen 13.45) ont rempli un questionnaire d'imagerie du mouvement (MIQ de Hall et Pongrac, 1983) mesurant la vivacité d'images visuelles et kinesthésiques. Un groupe «créole» (59 enfants; âge moyen 13.43) l'a passé en créole et un groupe «français» (64 enfants; âge moyen 13.46) en français. Finalement, la langue n'influence pas la capacité d'imagerie mentale de notre échantillon. Mais la vivacité des images kinesthésiques est supérieure en français chez les sujets de 11 à 13 ans et celle des images visuelles des sujets de 14 à 16 ans est supérieure à celle des sujets de 11 à 13 ans seulement en créole. La langue semble influencer la capacité d'imagerie mentale des sujets en fonction de l'âge.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: The insecticide chlordecone was extensively used in the French West Indies to control banana root borer. Its persistence in soils has led to the widespread pollution of the environment, and human beings are still exposed to this chemical. Chlordecone has been shown to impair neurological and behavioural functions in rodents when exposed gestationally or neonatally. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of prenatal and postnatal exposure to chlordecone on the cognitive, visual, and motor development of 7-month-old infants from Guadeloupe. METHODS: Infants were tested at 7 months (n=153). Visual recognition memory and processing speed were assessed with the Fagan Tests of Infant Intelligence (FTII), visual acuity with the Teller Acuity Card, and fine motor development with the Brunet-Lezine. Samples of cord blood and breast milk at 3 months (n=88) were analyzed for chlordecone concentrations. Postnatal exposure was determined through breast feeding and frequency of contaminated food consumption by the infants. RESULTS: Cord chlordecone concentrations in tertiles were associated with reduced novelty preference on the FTII in the highly exposed group (β=-0.19, p=0.02). Postnatal exposure through contaminated food consumption was marginally related to reduced novelty preference (β=-0.14, p=0.07), and longer processing speed (β=0.16, p=0.07). Detectable levels of chlordecone in cord blood were associated with higher risk of obtaining low scores on the fine motor development scale (OR=1.25, p<0.01). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that pre- and postnatal low chronic exposure to chlordecone is associated with negative effects on cognitive and motor development during infancy.

Résumé : International audience
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between prenatal hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and infant cognitive and motor functions. METHODS: Our prospective cohort study included 1-year-old children born to women enrolled at their first antenatal care (ANC) visit in Allada, Benin, before 29 weeks of pregnancy, within a trial comparing the efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and mefloquine. Hb concentrations of pregnant women were determined from venous blood samples collected at first and second ANC visits of at least 1-month interval and at delivery. Women were prescribed oral iron, folic acid, and anthelminthics after the first ANC visit. A total of 636 children (76.8% of eligible children) were assessed by trained research nurses for cognitive and motor functions by using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning. RESULTS: Prevalence of anemia (Hb extless 110 g/L) decreased from 67.0% at first ANC visit (mean gestational age [SD], 22.1 [4.0] weeks) to 38.4% at delivery. Mean (SD) Hb concentrations increased from 103.7 (12.3) at first ANC visit to 112.4 (14.1) at delivery. We observed a significant negative quadratic relationship between infant gross motor (GM) function and Hb concentration at first and second ANC visits. Thus, infant GM scores increased sharply with increasing maternal Hb concentration until 90 g/L where increasing GM was mild, and began to decline after 110 g/L. CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be an Hb concentration range that may be optimal for GM function of 1-year-old children. This may reflect the importance of physiologic hemodilution, which occurs after the second trimester until 34 weeks of gestation

Résumé : International audience
Chlordecone is a persistent organochlorine pesticide that was used in the French West Indies until the early 1990s for banana weevil borer control. Human exposure to this chemical in this area still occurs nowadays due to consumption of contaminated food. Although adverse effects on neurodevelopment, including tremors and memory deficits, have been documented in experimental studies conducted with rodents exposed during the gestational and neonatal periods, no study has been conducted yet to determine if chlordecone alters child development. This study examines the relation of gestational and postnatal exposure to chlordecone to infant development at 18 months of age in a birth-cohort of Guadeloupean children. In a prospective longitudinal study conducted in Guadeloupe (Timoun mother-child cohort study), exposure to chlordecone was measured at birth from an umbilical cord blood sample (n=141) and from a breast milk sample collected at 3 months postpartum (n=75). Toddlers were assessed using an adapted version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Higher chlordecone concentrations in cord blood were associated with poorer fine motor scores. When analyses were conducted separately for boys and girls, this effect was only observed among boys. These results suggest that prenatal exposure to chlordecone is associated with specific impairments in fine motor function in boys, and add to the growing evidence that exposure to organochlorine pesticides early in life impairs child development.

Résumé : International audience
The influences of task difficulty (index difficulty: 2-4), input device of different length, range of motion and mode of resistance (joystick or rotorcraft stick), and directions of movement (leftward rightward) on motor patterns in a realistic control situation were examined with a multilevel analysis (joint kinematics and muscular variables, and global task performance). Eight subjects controlled the displacements of a virtual object during a slalom task characterized by a realistic inertial model. Pilots adapted the endpoint kinematic organization to increasing accuracy constraints to preserve task success whatever the device and the direction. However, the rotorcraft stick manipulation remains highly complex in comparison to the joystick due to poorer proprioceptive information, higher inertial constraints, and an asymmetrical muscle control.

Résumé : El desarrollo del turismo de masas en Canarias se inició a principios de la década de los años sesenta del siglo XX. El modelo adoptado fue coetáneo y muy semejante al de otras zonas litorales del Estado español, que se vieron afectadas por un intenso proceso de urbanización. Acutalmente, el perfil del turismo que nos visita nos indica la preferencia de los centroeuropeos por este destino, predominantemente, de los alemanes y británicos. En cuanto a la oferta turística, la política de los tour-operadores, los factores medio-ambientales y patrimoniales, así como el apoyo de las instituciones y de los empresarios han sido decisivos. Por ello, este sector se ha convertido en el motor de la economía del Archipiélago.
Le développement du tourisme de masses dans les Îles Canaries a commencé au début des années 1960. Le modèle adopté repose sur les mêmes logiques que les aménagements touristiques des littoraux méditerranéens espagnols qui ont abouti à d’intenses processus d’urbanisation. Actuellement, la fréquentation touristique de l’archipel indique la préférence des clientèles de l’Ouest-européen, surtout des allemandes et britanniques. Le tourisme s’est affirmé comme le véritable moteur de l’économie de l’archipel.
The development of mass tourism in the Canary Islands started in middle of the 20th century, at the beginning of the 60’s. The adopted model was contemporary and very similar to the model of other coastal areas of the Spanish State, which were affected by an intense urbanization process. Nowadays, the profile of the tourism that visits us shows the preference of Centre-European citizens for this destiny, predominately German and British. As regards the tourist offer, the tour-operators policy, the environmental and patrimonial factors, as well as the institutional and managerial support have been definitive. That’s why this sector has become the motor of the archipelago’s economy.
