Description : Des lectures épistémologiques sur les réseaux (définition, type, qualités sociaux et/ou mondiaux) en tant que supports technologiques de l'innovation, nous permettront, grâce à ce cadre méthodologique de circonscrire les enjeux et les impacts de ceux-ci dans les territoires et plus spécifiquement dans la complexité actuelle du mode de gouvernance des localités. Notre propos sera de montrer à partir de l'appropriation des TIC et de nouveaux modes d'existence des objets techniques que l'innovation sociale naît et se diversifie de façon interculturelle à partir d'hybridations complexes entre préoccupations économiques, relations avec les pouvoirs publics et utilité sociale. Notre société, forte de son implication par les réseaux numériques a dès lors une demande sociale en participation et en politique publique. Une co-construction, en liens avec les différentes instances décisionnelles du territoire local est sollicitée.

Description : La communication de Jean-Thierrey Julia, Maître de conférences, et Emmanuelle Lambert, docteur en sciences de l'information et de la communication de l'Université de Toulouse, s'attache aux modalités de médiation et l'expérience de visite de musée, concomitamment à un dispositif numérique : comment un tel dispositif contribue à des médiations pertinentes pour l'institution, revisitant la posture du visiteur et son regard sur les objets exposés. Ainsi, depuis plusieurs saisons, à l'occasion d'expositions temporaires, le musée Saint Raymond-musée des Antiques de Toulouse organise en particulier des séances de « live-tweet ». Nous montrerons comment un tel dispositif concourt à une médiation fondée sur les participation et contribution des publics, comme autant de formes de remédiation ou de délégation de la médiation. L'ambition de démocratisation culturelle, portée par l'institution muséale, sera alors éclairée à l'aune de l'élargissement des publics et de la diversification des pratiques culturelles.

Résumé : From the PNCR, GAP MPs free to vote conscience on gay rights bill By Johann Earle Stabroek News June 11, 2003 The PNCR will allow its members to vote their conscience on the controversial Constitution (Amendment) Act of 2001 which seeks to prevent discrimination against persons on the basis of their sexual orientation and other grounds. A number of religious organisations are opposed to the passage of the bill because it includes sexual orientation as one of the grounds. They are concerned that it could lead to a legalisation of homosexual relations and demands for recognition of gay marriages among other things. PNCR Member of Parliament (MP) Vincent Alexander told a forum at the National Library on Saturday, that the Bill did not seek to legalise homosexuality, but to ensure that persons would not be discriminated against based on their sexual preferences. He was one of two parliamentarians who showed up - the other being PNCR member, Myrna Peterkin. The forum was organised by Students Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD), a group comprising fifteen students from the University of Guyana which was formed about two weeks ago. Alexander expects the vote on the bill to come up before the National Assembly in a matter of months. Paul Hardy, Leader of the Guyana Action Party (GAP), told Stabroek News that his party would not be using the so-called parliamentary whip. He added that GAP took a decision that every member should vote according to his or her own conscience. “We have no right to deny the rights of others based on sexual orientation. [The Bill] will guarantee rights to the homosexual.” GAP is in Parliament as part of an alliance with the Working People’s Alliance. GAP/WPA has two MPs. The bill was met with rejection from some members of the religious community in 2001 and as a result of this, the President did not assent to it. In a statement on Monday, the Central Islamic Organisa-tion of Guyana (CIOG) said that it stood in firm opposition to the Bill. The CIOG says the general purpose of the bill may be commendable and that the organisation’s objection is not based on a willingness to promote discrimination. Rather, the CIOG said, it was based on the fact that specific legal protection on the basis of sexual orientation without definition or qualification gives tacit legitimacy to practices which are considered criminal in Islam. “It is foreseeable that such a legal nod of approval (subtle as it may be) of these practices may pave the way for greater social (or even legal) acceptability in the future which, from the perspective of all Muslims including those in Guyana, is an undesirable and sinful outcome,” the CIOG statement said. At Saturday’s event, Muslim teacher Moulana Mohamed Ali Zenjibari spoke of instances of abuse, discrimination and harsh penalties meted out to gay and lesbian persons in countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia and noted that the Quran did not sanction such punishments for homosexual behaviour. President of the CIOG, Fazeel Ferouz told Stabroek News that a meeting to discuss a strategy with regards to the bill was planned for tomorrow with various religious groups. Stabroek News tried to get a comment on the issue from the PPP/C but to no avail. ROAR leader, Ravi Dev said that his party was now having discussions on the issue. ROAR feels that it is an important question which has to do with morality and should be discussed across the country. He added legislators had to be in tune with their constituents on the issue. SASOD is lobbying for the legislation through the sensitisation of MPs. Keimo Benjamin, a law student at UG, gave a presentation based on the jurisprudential aspects of the discussion on sexual orientation. He argued that morality should not be the only guiding principle on which to base the laws. Sexual activities between two consenting male adults in private could not be equated with a violation of a person’s rights, he said, making the point that the thrust of his presentation was not whether homosexuality was wrong, but whether it violated the rights of others. He said that the attitudes of some towards this subject were based on preconceived notions and prejudices. He cited studies to show that the suppression of certain perceived deviant sexual impulses in persons might do more harm than good. One Harvard University study of teens who said they were gay indicated that those teens were three times more likely to commit suicide. Vidyaratha Kissoon, of Help and Shelter, in his contribution on Saturday, expressed his displeasure at the low turnout at the forum and urged the parliamentarians who showed up to take the message to their colleagues. He noted that because of homophobia, the numerical minority was terrified of speaking out against instances of discrimination. Gays and lesbians in Guyana were subjected to ridicule and abuse, and walk the streets at night not looking for sex necessarily, but for the companionship of persons who empathise with them. During his presentation, Joel Simpson, another member of SASOD, outlined a number of changes made within national jurisdictions that had international implications. One such crucial change was South Africa’s 1996 adoption of a new constitution, making that country the first in the world to expressly include sexual orientation as a prohibited ground of discrimination. It was the first time a developing country had taken the lead with respect to the rights of sexual minorities. He also said that according to Douglas Sanders, a Canadian jurist, the rights of homosexual, bisexual or transsexual men and women had never been officially recognised by the United Nations, despite the fact that international laws on the issue began to emerge at the close of the Second World War. Simpson said that under Article 170 (5), as amended by Section 8 of the Constitution (Amendment) (No. 4) Act 2000, the President is required to assent to any bill which is returned by the National Assembly unaltered after a two-thirds majority within 90 days of its presentation to him. To the parliamentarians present, Simpson stressed that the onus was now on them to adequately represent their constituents which include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual Guyanese. http://www.landofsixpeoples.com/news301/ns306115.htm and Vote on sexual orientation should be a matter of conscience - MP Alexander By Esther Elijah Guyana Chronicle June 8, 2003 PEOPLE’S National Congress (PNC/R) Member of Parliament Mr. Vincent Alexander, said the Opposition will vote on “conscience” when the piece of legislation on sexual orientation is again brought before the National Assembly. “With specific reference to my party, when this Bill gets back to the Parliament in the spirit of the arguments here, we will not use the `whip’. Our party will not say we have to vote for the provision (in the Sexual Orientation Bill). We will allow our members to vote as a matter of conscience,” he told participants gathered in the Conference Room of the National Library. “We feel this is a matter of conscience. You may end up with a collective position but you have to deal with us individually,” Alexander said at a poorly attended public consultation aimed at gaining support for sexual orientation to be considered a fundamental right in Guyana. Alexander, one of the main persons who sat on the Constitutional Reform Commission that addressed this controversial clause, said the legislation was not meant to legalise homosexual activities in Guyana. “It was intended to ensure that persons who have an orientation - a way of thinking - which may or may not lead to a certain activity, to not be discriminated against, in terms of their rights,” he explained. Alexander noted that very often, discussions on the sexual orientation provision in the Bill have led to seepages into other areas where debates centre on the “right to be homosexual.” “I am saying the Bill does not comment on that… However, law is peculiar, especially in a Common Law system. Once you venture out and change the law, very often you open other windows which we cannot definitively say exist or does not exist in advance,” he said. “The fear of some people is that the legislators might say one thing and the Courts will eventually say something else. While some people can’t argue against the law, per say, they will say this has opened a window of opportunity not meant to be opened. So, it is better to stay without a window than open it and then have a possibility of something you didn’t intend to happen - happening sometime in the future.” Alexander added: “I want to say I’ve found this activity to have been rich from the perspective of the amount of research which was done by student (speakers). Without any comment as to whether I agree with the arguments, I would wish that much more research on other issues be done by students, and that at the University (of Guyana) students would find it convenient to have forums on other issues, with the same depth of research for their own intellectual development.” Alexander and other Opposition M.P, Lurlene Nestor were the only three Parliamentarians in attendance at the session organised by the recently formed `Students Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination’ (SASOD), a group that has a membership of 15 mostly University of Guyana (UG) students from various faculties. SASOD was established two weeks ago. With the exception of members of the press, the consultation only managed to attract 11 persons, a handful of who were SASOD members. While congratulating the students for an “insightful” presentation, Nestor pointed out that whether or not she chooses to agree with their position is “another issue” and she is entitled to her “own view”. “The issue of sexual orientation is very `toucheous’ …while we agree with the human rights provisions and all that as a society, we must also revert to our own society. Some of the very critical questions that I would want to ask is whether or not at the society (level) we are ready for that kind of thing,” she remarked. “We cannot, at (any) time, ignore the religious groups in our society. If we look at statistics going back to 1992 from a survey done by the Bureau of Statistics, we would see that a small section of the Guyanese population might be considered as people who do not subscribe to a religious view. While the laws are not necessarily based on moral values, we must acknowledge the fact that we might want to revert to many of the cases that (concern) laws that protect public morality.” Nestor told the speakers at the consultation these were some of the issues that they needed to deal with. She highlighted, too, that what must be examined is the effects of same-sex marriages on society and how this issue must be tackled. “These are some of the things we should consider and I don’t think you dealt with that in the presentations,” Nestor stated, adding that the issues must be addressed “frontally.” “Do we think that with the coming to being of this Bill that there might be quite a number of challenges to the Constitution in relation to the same issue of a man marrying a man? What do we do at the society (level)? Do we recognise that?” were the questions directed at the five speakers at the session. Nestor continued: “There is some argument that says, `Oh the Bill does not promote homosexuality or does not encourage a man to marry (another) man, but if you look at Section (15) that talks about `non-discrimination’ then how can we not, with the passage of this Bill, allow a man not to marry (another) man.” According to Nestor, matters of this nature constitute some of the “inconsistencies” of the Bill. On the argument raised by presenters at the session on who determines what is morality, Nestor said in the concept of democracy it is the people who are the determinants based on a “line of thinking.” She also rebutted on grounds that put the spotlight on teachers who may have been caught “interfering” with their young students and who may subsequently be dismissed from their jobs. “Could you imagine such a person interfering with a boy below age 10 - and by virtue of the fact that the Bill is there, the judges (in the case) will have to use their discretion in terms of what happens. We will have more Constitutional changes and problems (arising with the passage of the Bill).” SASOD member and law student, Joel Simpson, in reply, said he doesn’t think any homosexual in Guyana wants to “run into a church and ask that people marry them or anything of that sort.” At one point likening the church to a “club”, Simpson claimed the church has the right to exclude whomever it wants. He further stated that in accordance with the Constitution, people of the same sex do not currently have the right to marry, and will also not be able to do such an act with the passage of the Bill. However, Simpson said it is possible that the law, with the passage of the Bill, would have to recognise same-sex domestic partnerships in relation to employment benefits, sharing of properties, etc. Simpson said he believes there should be a realm of “public” and “private” morality between consenting adults, and implied that the Bill did not fully give “rights” to homosexuals. But, Nestor interjected: “I am informing you further…that the Sexual Orientation provision has, in fact, in some way recognised the rights of homosexuals and we must accept that.” Meanwhile, there was no vocal Christian representative(s) at the consultation and apart from the two Opposition representatives none other participant gave comments or directed questions at the presenters. Other speakers in support of the sexual orientation clause were: Moulana Mohammed Ali Zenjiban, Assistant Director of the International Islamic College; Denuka Radzik from Red Thread, Keimo Benjamin, UG law student and Vidyartha Kissoon from Help & Shelter. The Sunday Chronicle has been reliably informed that the Georgetown Ministers Fellowship, representing groups of Christian leaders staunchly against sexual orientation as a right in Guyana, have recently prepared a detailed 16-page document outlining issues arising from research to further boost their argument against the inclusion of the clause. The document is yet to be made public. http://www.landofsixpeoples.com/news301/nc306083.htm

Description : Pergia Gkouskou-Giannakou, professeur en Sciences de l'information et de la communication, pose la question de l'impact de la médiatisation de l'espace médiatique numérique dans le domaine de la recherche scientifique. Communiquer, diffuser et être « visible » dans les médias socio-professionnels numériques pourrait-il être considéré comme «se légitimer » dans le monde de la recherche ? Les espaces numériques de publication et d'échange entre chercheurs peuvent-ils contribuer à la formation de nouvelles « autorités » dans le domaine de recherche ? Quel est le point de vue des participants dans ces espaces ? Nous formulons ici l'hypothèse du transfert, via les médias numériques, des pratiques issues de l'univers des médias « grand public » dans l'univers de la recherche et plus précisément de la présence numérique du point de vue de l'audience médiatique.

Description : La prévention des comportements et discours homophobes en milieu scolaire vise à protéger les personnes non hétéro-normés contre les violences de genre, mais elle participe aussi à la remise en question des stéréotypes de genre spécifiques au contexte martiniquais, chez l'ensemble des individus formés, quelles que soient leur identité et/ou leur orientation sexuelle. En 2015, malgré l'évolution des mentalités et les progrès obtenus dans la reconnaissance des droits des personnes lesbiennes, gays, bisexuelles et transgenres (LGBT), les discriminations subsistent et il demeure toujours difficile d'annoncer ou de vivre librement son homosexualité. Dans ce contexte, KAP Caraïbe s'est fixé un double objectif : l'aide au public LGBT, notamment pour les jeunes qui, lorsqu'ils se découvrent attirés par une personne du même sexe connaissent parfois un mal-être pouvant avoir des conséquences dramatiques et la lutte contre l'homophobie. En articulant protection et prévention, KAP Caraïbe vise ainsi à éviter que ne naissent, ne se reproduisent ou ne se perpétuent des manifestations de mépris, de rejet et/ou de haine envers des personnes homosexuelles ou transgenres. Après une présentation générale de l'association et des raisons qui ont motivé sa création, il sera donc proposé de présenter le bilan des trois années d'exercice de l'association.

Résumé : At the outbreak of war with Spain in 1898, the U.S. Army was very small in numbers. This situation necessitated an immediate call for volunteers. President McKinley's appeal was overwhelmingly answered by a generation that had grown up in the shadow of their elders' Civil War glory. One group answering the call was the First Regiment of the U.S. Cavalry Volunteers, headed by Colonel Leonard Wood, a distinguished army doctor and Medal of Honor recipient. The regiment was actually the brainchild of Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy and Wood's friend. Roosevelt, realizing his own lack of military experience, suggested Wood for the command. The Rough Riders, as the regiment was soon known, comprised 1,250 men, including cowboys, Native Americans and eastern college athletes. Despite their dissimilarities, they were in excellent physical condition'a stark contrast to most of the other volunteer contingents. The Rough Riders departed from Tampa in mid-June without their horses. They landed at Daiquiri on June 22 and two days later served with distinction in a battle at Las Guásimas. Immediately prior to the conflict at San Juan, Colonel Wood was promoted to another field command, enabling Roosevelt as a full colonel to take command of the Rough Riders. On July 1, Roosevelt, having secured a horse, led his forces in a charge up Kettle Hill outside of Santiago. They achieved their goal and later in the day participated in the victory at San Juan Hill. By seizing these heights, American guns commanded the harbor at Santiago. The Spanish position was imperiled and an abortive attempt by the Spanish navy to escape from the harbor was halted with devastating results. Spanish land forces surrendered shortly thereafter. Roosevelt urged the Rough Riders' swift evacuation, fearing the continuing spread of disease. They returned to Montauk, Long Island, where they were held in quarantine before being mustered out in September. More than one-third of the Rough Riders were casualties in the Spanish-American War, a fact that has led some observers to criticize Roosevelt for unnecessary risk-taking. Nevertheless, the Rough Riders became heroes to the American public and Roosevelt emerged as a major national figure.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Women of reproductive age can be exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) at work, and exposure to EDCs in pregnancy may affect fetal growth. OBJECTIVES: We assessed whether maternal occupational exposure to EDCs during pregnancy as classified by application of a job exposure matrix was associated with birth weight, term low birth weight (LBW), length of gestation, and preterm delivery. METHODS: Using individual participant data from 133,957 mother-child pairs in 13 European cohorts spanning births from 1994 through 2011, we linked maternal job titles with exposure to 10 EDC groups as assessed through a job exposure matrix. For each group, we combined the two levels of exposure categories (possible and probable) and compared birth outcomes with the unexposed group (exposure unlikely). We performed meta-analyses of cohort-specific estimates. RESULTS: Eleven percent of pregnant women were classified as exposed to EDCs at work during pregnancy, based on job title. Classification of exposure to one or more EDC group was associated with an increased risk of term LBW [odds ratio (OR) = 1.25; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.49], as were most specific EDC groups; this association was consistent across cohorts. Further, the risk increased with increasing number of EDC groups (OR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.10, 4.06 for exposure to four or more EDC groups). There were few associations (p < 0.05) with the other outcomes; women holding job titles classified as exposed to bisphenol A or brominated flame retardants were at higher risk for longer length of gestation. CONCLUSION: Results from our large population-based birth cohort design indicate that employment during pregnancy in occupations classified as possibly or probably exposed to EDCs was associated with an increased risk of term LBW.

Résumé : Au Venezuela, comme dans d'autres pays d'Amérique latine, « l'accès à l'eau pour tous » constitue une cause de tensions entre la société civile et les pouvoirs publics. De plus, la croissance rapide de l'urbanisation, souvent de manière désorganisée, selon des critères de planification urbaine, se caractérise par une déficience en réseaux d'adduction d'eau et (encore plus) en réseaux d'assainisse-ment. Cette situation est accentuée dans les quartiers urbains les plus défavorisés, qualifiés officiellement de « marginaux » jusqu'à la fin des années 1990. Ces territoires urbains représentent environ les deux tiers de la population urbaine du Venezuela, en sachant que ce pays, avec un taux d'urbanisation de l'ordre de 85 %, fait partie du peloton de tête des pays urbanisés de l'Amérique latine. A partir de 1999, la nouvelle Constitution intitulée « Constitution bolivarienne » met en avant la société civile de façon plus explicite. Les habitants des barrios 1 symbolisent alors, dans ce texte de référence ainsi que dans les discours du président de la République bolivarienne Hugo Frias Chavez, une société civile qui a contribué au changement de régime politique et à l'impulsion d'un programme poli-tique se qualifiant de « socialisme du XXI e siècle ». L'accès à l'eau et à l'assainissement rentre dans les priorités du programme économique et social de ce nouveau gouvernement, visant à diminuer rapidement la pauvreté et à améliorer nettement l'accès à un service urbain de qualité. Dans ce contexte, ces mesures se réalisent dans le cadre de « missions » 2 financées par l'Etat dans les domaines de la santé, de l'éducation etc. Le secteur de l'eau s'avère donc un secteur clé de l'intervention sociale, qu'elle se concrétise par la mobilisation de la société civile et/ou par l'implication des pouvoirs publics. Par « intervention sociale », nous nous intéressons au mode de participation d'acteurs de la société civile ou de représentants de collectivités locales etc. Par « mobilisation », nous considérons tout rassemblement de personnes qui se tra-duit par une mise en action commune.

Résumé : International audience
Background: Heterogeneous patterns of malaria transmission are thought to be driven by factors including host genetics, distance to mosquito breeding sites, housing construction, and socio-behavioural characteristics. Evaluation of local transmission epidemiology to characterize malaria risk is essential for planning malaria control and elimination programmes. The use of geographical information systems (GIS) techniques has been a major asset to this approach. To assess time and space distribution of malaria disease in Bandiagara, Mali, within a transmission season, data were used from an ongoing malaria incidence study that enrolled 300 participants aged under six years old ". Methods: Children's households were georeferenced using a handheld global position system. Clinical malaria was defined as a positive blood slide for Plasmodium falciparum asexual stages associated with at least one of the following signs: headache, body aches, fever, chills and weakness. Daily rainfall was measured at the local weather station. Landscape features of Bandiagara were obtained from satellite images and field survey. QGIS™ software was used to map malaria cases, affected and non-affected children, and the number of malaria episodes per child in each block of Bandiagara. Clusters of high or low risk were identified under SaTScan W software according to a Bernoulli model. Results: From June 2009 to May 2010, 296 clinical malaria cases were recorded. Though clearly temporally related to the rains, Plasmodium falciparum occurrence persisted late in the dry season. Two " hot spots " of malaria transmission also found, notably along the Yamé River, characterized by higher than expected numbers of malaria cases, and high numbers of clinical episodes per child. Conversely, the northeastern sector of the town had fewer cases despite its proximity to a large body of standing water which was mosquito habitat. Conclusion: These results confirm the existence of a marked spatial heterogeneity of malaria transmission in Bandiagara, providing support for implementation of targeted interventions. Background Malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, with an estimated 3.3 billion people at risk of malaria [1]. The incidence of malaria worldwide is estimated to be 216 million cases per year, with 81% of these cases occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria kills approximately 655,000 people per year; 91% of deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa [1], mostly in children under five years of age. In Mali, West Africa, malaria represents 36.5% of consultation motives in health center, it is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality children of less than five years of age and the first reason of anaemia in pregnant women [2]. Malaria transmission is seasonal. Malaria parasite transmission and clinical disease are characterized by important microgeographic variation, often between adjacent villages, households or families [3-8]. This local heterogeneity is driven by a variety of factors including human genetics [9,10], distance to potential breeding sites [11,12], housing construction

Description : Du 5 septembre au 11 octobre 2016, le Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle a piloté sur les côtes martiniquaises un inventaire de grande ampleur de la faune et de la flore. L'expédition avait pour objectif de renforcer la connaissance actuelle de la biodiversité marine en Martinique par un inventaire quasi exhaustif d'espèces qui sont encore méconnues (algues, éponges, mollusques, crustacés, échinodermes...). Philippe Bouchet, chef de la mission, rappelle dans quel cadre sont menées les grandes expéditions du Muséum. Claude Bouchon évoque ensuite l'évolution des récifs coralliens antillais depuis 30 ans et explique comment les activités humaines impactent cet écosystème riche et fragile. Josiane Pain Mahieu, enseignante au Lycée Montgérald du Marin, qui a participé à la constitution de l'alguier lors de la mission, clôt la conférence en soulignant la nécessité de sensibiliser le jeune public : faire connaître les problématiques de la biodiversité marine de la Martinique aujourd'hui devrait permettre de la préserver demain.

Résumé : En este trabajo se pretende hacer una aproximación a las posibilidades que tiene el espacio público de las ciudades costeras y de las islas como elemento de integración social. Para ello veremos que el diseño de estos espacios desde el punto de vista de la diversidad humana es muy importante, ya que si a la hora de diseñar tenemos en cuenta todas las posibilidades, podremos generar espacios que ayuden a las personas a sociabilizarse. En las zonas costeras contamos con cuestiones específicas y en el caso concreto de las islas y playas en el que existe espacio limitado, es importante definir este rol del espacio público.La humanización del espacio público va de la mano de la accesibilidad, es por este motivo que aplicar criterios de Diseño para Todos y Accesibilidad Universal en el diseño del espacio público nos permite la democratización del mismo, de tal modo que puede ser disfrutado por todos los ciudadanos en igualdad de condiciones. En las islas y las zonas costeras, la exclusión social de grupos poblacionales por falta de accesibilidad puede resultar preocupante ya que la limitación física del espacio reduce mucho las posibilidades de crecimiento de las personas.
Cette étude propose une approche sur les possibilités de faire de l’espace public des villes côtières et des îles un élément d’intégration sociale. Pour cela il est important que la conceptualisation de ces espaces intègre les dimensions de la diversité humaine. Si lors de la conception toutes les possibilités sont prises en compte, il est possible de construire des espaces qui participent à la sociabilisation des personnes. Dans les zones côtières se posent des questions spécifiques et concrètes autour de l’accessibilité aux plages et aux îles dans lesquelles l’espace est limité. Il est important de définir le rôle de l’espace public.L’humanisation de l’espace public va de pair avec la question de l’accessibilité, d’où l’importance d’intégrer les dimensions de l’accessibilité pour tous dans l’aménagement de ces espaces. C’est une question de démocratie, tous les citoyens doivent pouvoir en profiter quelle que soit leur condition. Dans les espaces côtiers, l’exclusion sociale de certaines catégories de populations en raison du manque d’accessibilité est d’autant plus préoccupante que le milieu physique est plus contraignant.
This paper intends to approximate the possibilities that the public space of coastal cities and islands have as an element of social integration. For this we will see that the design of these spaces from the point of view of diversity is very important, since when designing we take into account all the possibilities of generating spaces that help people to become socialized. In coastal areas we have specific things and in the specific case of islands and beaches where there is limited space, it is important to define this role of public space.The humanization of public space goes hand in hand with accessibility, it is for this reason that it applies criteria of Design for All and Universal Accessibility in the design of the public space allows us the democratization of it, in such a way that can be enjoyed by all Citizens in equal conditions In the islands and coastal areas, social exclusion of population groups due to lack of accessibility can be of concern and that physical limitation of space reduces the chances of growth of people.

STUDY QUESTION: Is prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) associated with variations of sex hormone levels in cord blood? SUMMARY ANSWER: Prenatal exposure to a number of POPs is associated with a disruption of hormone levels in cord blood, with sex specificities. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Epidemiological studies have reported disorders of reproductive health, in relation with POPs exposure during early life and the endocrine disruption properties of these chemicals have been suggested as possible mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: A subset of 282 mother-child pairs was selected from the prospective population-based PELAGIE birth cohort (n = 3421, 2002-2006, Brittany, France). Pregnant women were recruited before 19 weeks of gestation and followed until delivery. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Sex hormone levels including sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), estradiol (E2), total testosterone (T), free testosterone (fT = T/SHBG) and the aromatase index (AI = T/E2) were measured in 282 cord blood samples. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was measured in male newborns only. Pesticide concentrations of α-endosulfan, β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH), γ-HCH, dieldrin, pp'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), heptachlor epoxide (HCE), as well as PCBs (congeners 153, 187 and the sum of anti-estrogenic PCBs 118, 138, and 170) and decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE209) were also measured in cord blood. Associations between sex hormones and POPs exposure were explored using multiple linear regressions adjusted for potential confounders. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: High PCB levels were associated with an increase of SHBG (P-trend extless 0.01) and AMH (P-trend extless 0.05) and a decrease of fT (P-trend extless 0.05) and AI (P-trend extless 0.01). High pesticide levels, particularly α-endosulfan and HCE, were associated with an increase of SHBG (P extless 0.05) and E2 (P extless 0.01) and a decrease of fT (P extless 0.05) and AI (P extless 0.01). Several of these associations were stronger, or specific, among male or female newborns. The associations were not altered in the sensitivity analyses. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: The study population was of relatively small sample size, and some compounds rarely detected in cord blood. The high level of correlation between POPs makes it difficult to identify the most contributing POPs. Hormone measurements were performed at birth (in cord blood) and may not adequately represent the infant endocrine system. Multiple statistical testing may have led to false-positive associations. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: Our results are in discordance with those reported in the only published study of the kind but in accordance with studies about prenatal exposure to other endocrine disruptors such as phthalates. These findings may help understanding the pathways involved in adverse reproductive outcomes associated with POPs exposure. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS: The PELAGIE cohort is funded by Inserm, French Ministry of Health, French Ministry of Labor, InVS, ANR, ANSES, and French Ministry of Ecology. None of the authors has any competing interest to declare

Résumé : International audience
This article aims to specify the challenges related to adapting the Disability Creation Process (DCP) model to the experience of chronic disease, specifically Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this perspective, a conceptual clarification is proposed because the DCP is mainly used to study populations in situations of disability due to motor, sensory, mental or behavioral disabilities. However, this model seems to be able to adequately read the specific experience of HIV, and help to understand differently life trajec-tories of people living with HIV (PLHIV). Indeed, HIV infection, despite its status as a "chronic disease", continues to contribute to the risk of social isolation. Body modifications induced by the disease or its treatment has an impact on how others view PLHIV. They expose the visibility of HIV status and, ultimately, the fear of social exclusion. In this respect, the analysis of the DCP may allow us to understand the varia-tions in the quality of social participation and identify the phases of vulnerability by focusing on body image in particular induced by the infection or treatments. This approach provides the opportunity for new insight into the influence of social environments (particularly health management or community support) with re-gards to the lifestyle and the daily experiences of socially disadvantaged people.
Cet article tente de spécifier les enjeux d’une adaptation du modèle du Processus de production du handicap (PPH) au vécu de la maladie chronique, et plus spécifiquement du virus de l’immunodéfi-cience humaine (VIH). Dans cette perspective, un éclaircissement conceptuel est proposé, car le PPH a principalement été utilisé pour étudier les populations vivant des situations de handicap liées à des incapa-cités motrices, sensorielles, intellectuelles ou comportementales. Ce modèle semble toutefois en mesure de renouveler la lecture de l’expérience spécifique du VIH, et d’aider à saisir autrement les trajectoires de vie des personnes vivant avec le VIH (PVVIH). En effet, l’infection au VIH, malgré son statut de « maladie chronique », demeure associée à un risque d’isolement social. Les modifications corporelles induites par la maladie ou par son traitement confronte les PVVIH au regard de l’autre. Elles exposent à la visibilité du statut sérologique et, in fine, à la peur de l’exclusion sociale. Dans ce cadre, l’analyse du Processus de production du handicap peut permettre de comprendre les variations de la qualité de la participation sociale et d’identifier les phases de vulnérabilité en s’intéressant notamment au rapport au corps induit par l’infection et les traitements. Cette approche offre l’opportunité d’un nouvel éclairage sur le poids des envi-ronnements sociaux (notamment des dispositifs de prises en charge sanitaire ou d’accompagnement communautaire) sur les habitudes de vie et l’expérience quotidienne d’un public fragilisé socialement.

Résumé : International audience
An inter-laboratory exercise was organized under the PHARMAS EU project, by the Advanced School of Public Health (EHESP), in order to evaluate the performances of analytical methods for the measurement of antibiotics in waters (surface and tap). This is the first time such an exercise on antibiotics has been organized in Europe, using different kinds of analytical methods and devices. In this exercise thirteen laboratories from five countries (Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal) participated, and a total number of 78 samples were distributed. During the exercise, 2 testing samples (3 bottles of each) prepared from tap water and river water, respectively, spiked with antibiotics, were sent to participants and analyzed over a period of one month. A final number of 77 (98.7%) testing samples were considered. Depending on substances studied by each participant, 305 values in duplicate were collected, with the results for each sample being expressed as the target concentration. A statistical study was initiated using 611 results. The mean value, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, standard uncertainty of the mean, median, the minimum and maximum values of each series as well as the 95% confidence interval were obtained from each participant laboratory. In this exercise, 36 results (6% of accounted values) were outliers according to the distribution over the median (box plot). The outlier results were excluded. In order to establish the stability of testing samples in the course of the exercise, differences between variances obtained for every type of sample at different intervals were evaluated. The results showed no representative variations and it can be considered that all samples were stable during the exercise. The goals of this inter-laboratory study were to assess results variability when analysis is conducted by different laboratories, to evaluate the influence of different matrix samples, and to determine the rate at which participating laboratories successfully completed the tests initiated.

Résumé : À quelques kilomètres d’Oran, la zone côtière d’Aïn el Turck connue auparavant pour ses belles plages, a subi depuis quelques décennies une urbanisation incontrôlée touchant essentiellement son domaine public maritime (DPM). Actuellement, sur les parties hautes des plages comme Saint Roch, Paradis, Bouisseville ou Trouville s’alignent des villas de un à deux étages, des garages à bateaux et de grands hôtels. L’empiètement sur ces espaces pourtant protégés par plusieurs lois a participé à l’érosion de la bande sableuse et à la régression de l’activité touristique balnéaire. Une situation qui reflète une nette difficulté dans la gestion et la protection de cet espace convoité et fragile.Notre étude de la zone côtière d’Aïn el Turck va aborder quatre points : la relation entre la « bétonisation » du rivage et le changement du trait de côte, l’évolution de l’urbanisation et les stratégies d’occupations, les types de concurrence qui existent entre différents usagers sur l’appropriation du foncier littoral et enfin, les difficultés éprouvées dans la protection du domaine public maritime par les services gestionnaires. La méthode du travail est basée essentiellement sur deux approches : la première est la comparaison entre plusieurs photos aériennes, à différentes dates, pour l’identification des changements naturels affectant le rivage en relation avec l’évolution de l’urbanisation de la côte. La seconde est la réalisation d’entretiens avec les principaux acteurs du territoire et l’analyse des discours formulés par les différents groupes d’intérêts, souvent en situation de conflit.
A few kilometres from Oran, the coastal area of Ain el Turck previously known for its beautiful beaches, has suffered in recent decades uncontrolled urbanization affecting mainly the maritime public domain (DPM). Currently, the upper parts of beaches like St. Roch, Paradis, Trouville, Bouisseville or lined with villas from one to two floors, garages for boats and large hotels. Encroachment on these areas yet protected by several laws, participated in the erosion of the sandbank and the decline of seaside tourism. This reflected a marked difficulty in managing and protecting this fragile and coveted space.Our study of the coastal area of Ain el Turck will address four points: the relationship between 'concretisation' of shoreline and shoreline change, the evolution of urbanization and occupation strategies, types of competition between different users on the ownership of coastal land and finally, the difficulties in protecting the maritime public by managing services.The method of work is essentially based on two approaches:the first is the comparison between several aerial photographs at different dates, for identifying changes affecting the natural shoreline in relation to the evolution of the urbanization of the coast. The second is conducting interviews with stakeholders in the area and analysis of speeches made by various interest groups, often in conflict.
