SUMMARY ANSWER: IVM strongly modified apoptosis- and autophagy-related relative protein levels in mice testicular tissue whereas the impact of cryopreservation procedures was minimal at the end of the culture. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: In vitro spermatogenesis remains a challenging technical issue as it imposes to find a very close balance between survival and death of germ cell natural precursors (i.e. gonocytes and spermatogonia), which will eventually undergo a complete spermatogenesis close to in vivo conditions. The establishment of efficient culture conditions coupled with suitable cryopreservation procedures (e.g. controlled slow freezing [CSF] and solid surface vitrification [SSV]) of pre-pubertal testicular tissue is a crucial step in the fields of fertility preservation and restoration to improve the spermatic yield obtained in vitro. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: Here, we study cryopreservation procedures (i.e. CSF or SSV) and the impact of culture media compositions. A first set of 66 mouse pre-pubertal testes were directly cultured during 30, 36, 38 and 60 days (D) from 2.5 to 6.5-day-old CD-1 mice to evaluate the impact of time-aspect of culture and to endorse the reverse phase protein microarrays (RPPM) technique as an adapted experimental tool for the field of in vitro spermatogenesis. Ninety others fresh, slow-frozen and vitrified pre-pubertal testes were cultured during 30 days for the principal study to evaluate the impact of cryopreservation procedures before and after culture. Thirty-four testes dissected from 2.5, 6.5, 36.5, 40.5, 42.5 and 62.5 days postpartum (dpp) mice, corresponding to the time frames of spermatogenesis orchestrated in vitro, were used as in vivo controls. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: After in vitro culture, testicular tissue samples originated from 2.5 or 6.5-day-old CD-1 male mice were analyzed using RPPM. This targeted proteomic technique allowed us to assess the expression level of 29 apoptosis- and autophagy-related factors by normalizing blank-corrected signal values. In addition, morphological analyses (e.g. HES, PAS, TRA98 and CREM) and DNA fragmentation in intra-tubular cells (i.e. terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling; TUNEL) were assessed for the distinct experimental conditions tested as well as for in vivo control mouse testes. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: A validation of the RPPM procedure in the field of in vitro spermatogenesis was completed with assay and array robustness before a principal study concerning the evaluation of the impact of in vitro culture and cryopreservation procedures. The proportion of elongated spermatids and the total cell number per seminiferous tubule tended to be very different between the in vivo and in vitro conditions (P < 0.05), suggesting the presence of a beneficial regulation on the first spermatogenesis wave by intrinsic apoptosis (Caspase₉) and autophagy (Atg5) factors (P < 0.0003 and r2 = 0.74). Concerning the impact of culture media compositions, a basic medium (BM) composed of αMEM plus 10% KnockOut™ serum replacement and gentamicin supplemented with retinol (Rol) and vitamin E (Vit. E) was selected as the best culture medium for fresh 6.5 dpp tissue cultured during 30D with 27.7 ± 8.10% of seminiferous tubules containing elongated spermatids. Concerning the impact of cryopreservation procedures, SSV did not have any impact on the morphological parameters evaluated after culture in comparison to fresh tissue (FT) controls. The proportion of tubules with elongated spermatids on testicular explants cultured with BMRol+Vit. E was not different between SSV (6.6 ± 1.6%) and CSF (5.3 ± 1.9%); however, round spermatids were observed more frequently for SSV (19 ± 6.2%) than CSF (3.3 ± 1.9%, P = 0.0317). Even if the proportion of TUNEL-positive cells for BMRol+Vit. E was higher at D30 after SSV (4.12 ± 0.26%) than CSF (1.86 ± 0.12%, P = 0.0022) and FT (2.69 ± 0.33%, P = 0.0108), the DNA damages observed at the end of the culture (i.e. D30) were similar to respective 6.5 dpp controls. In addition, the relative protein level expression ratio of an apoptotic factor, the phosphorylated FADD on Fas, was reduced by 64-fold in vitrified testes cultured with BMRol+Vit. E. Furthermore, we found in this study that the StemPro®-34 SFM culture medium supplemented with growth factors (e.g. EGF, bFGF, GDNF and LIF) prevented the differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells in favor of a significant proliferation with a better architectural pattern than in vivo 6.5 dpp controls with an increase of seminiferous tubules area for FT (P = 0.0357) and CSF (P = 0.0317). LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION: Despite our promising results, the evaluation of apoptotic- and autophagic-related proteins was studied for a limited amount of proteins and on global testicular tissue. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: The data presented herein will help to improve apoptotic and autophagic understanding during the first spermatogenic wave. Moreover, our findings illustrate for the first time that, using finely-tuned experimental conditions, a testicular in vitro culture combined with proteomic technologies may significantly facilitate the study of cryopreservation procedures and in vitro culture evaluations. This study may also contribute to improve work on testicular tissues from pre-pubertal and adolescent cancer survivors.

El Carculo Cubano de Tampa on Avenida Republica de Cuba. Auteur(s) : Robertson and Fresh Photographers, 1925-1960 Résumé : On October 10, 1899, Cuban immigrants formed a recreational society known as El Club Nacional Cubano. Three years later, the society of three hundred members changed its name to El CÃÂrculo Cubano. According to the 1902 charter, the CÃÂrculo Cubano was formed "for the mutual benefit and enjoyment of its members and for the charitable purposes and instruction of its members and the dissemination of knowledge among all classes of people." In order to preserve harmony among its diverse membership, the statutes of the club expressly prohibited any discussion within the society of labor, politics, or religion. In 1917, the Cuban Club opened the doors of its neoclassic clubhouse at 2010 Avenida República de Cuba in Ybor City. Since then, the CÃÂrculo Cubano has provided a theater, grand ballroom, medical clinic, cantina, gym, and library to its members. The activities of the Cuban Club have changed over time, but it remains open to all men and women who are dedicated to the preservation of the Cuban heritage and culture of Florida (Funding) Funded in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Ephemeral Cities Project.

Université des Antilles et de la Guyane Description : Les abattis Kotika sur la commune de Papaïchton en Guyane sont un haut lieu de mémoire de la population Alouko ou Boni sur le Haut maroni. Les intervenants vont décortiquer le fonctionnement de ce site à partir de documentations administratives et de leurs connaissances du terrain. En effet, la décision de préservation et de conservation est révélateur d'une superposition de motivation politique tant locale qu'internationale. Ainsi, un site patrimonial est un site artistique, historique, scientifique ou légendaire et même dernièrement il a été ajouté le caractère pittoresque avec l'intérêt paysager. Seulement ce sont des critères occidentaux, comment procéder alors à l'adéquation de la conservation et celle de la vie locale ? Pourquoi les populations s'investissent si peu dans ce processus de patrimonialisation ? Est-ce une nouvelle forme de colonialisme administratif ?

We investigated possible direct endocrine disruption by BPA of the fetal testes of 2 rat strains (14.5-17.5 days post-coitum) and humans (8-12 gestational weeks) and under different culture conditions. BPA concentrations of 10-8M and 10-5M for 72h reduced testosterone production by the Sprague-Dawley fetal rat testes, while only 10-5M suppressed it in the Wistar strain. The suppressive effects at 10-5M were seen as early as 24h and 48h in both strains. BPA at 10-7-10-5M for 72h suppressed the levels of fetal rat Leydig cell insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3). BPA exposure at 10-8M, 10-7M, and 10-5M for 72h inhibited testosterone production in fetal human testes. For the lowest doses, the effects observed occurred only when no gonadotrophin was added to the culture media and were associated with a poorly preserved testicular morphology. We concluded that (i) BPA can display anti-androgenic effects both in rat and human fetal testes; (ii) it is essential to ascertain that the divergent effects of endocrine disruptors between species in vitro do not result from the culture conditions used, and/or the rodent strain selected; (iii) the optimization of each in vitro assay for a given species should be a major objective rather than the search of an hypothetical trans-species consensual model-system, as the organization of the testis is intrinsically different between mammalian species; (iv) due to the uncertainty existing on the internal exposure of the human fetal testis to BPA, and the insufficient number of epidemiological studies on the endocrine disruptive effects of BPA, caution should be taken in the extrapolation of our present results to the human reproductive health after fetal exposure to BPA.

Traditional Culture Preservation in Chinese Ethnic Tourism Community1 Auteur(s) : Qiong, Xiao Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Tourism economic development and traditional culture preservation has been a topic of concern and discussion in academic fields. Based on the development of the tourism economy in Xijiang Miao Village of China, the paper focuses on the analysis of the preservation methods and effects of traditional culture in Chinese ethnic communities. Finally, it points out that the preservation of traditional cultures and tourism development in ethnic communities are not always contradictory. Including the community’s participation can help achieve a “win-win” situation for all actors. Le développement économique du tourisme et la préservation de la culture traditionnelle est un sujet de préoccupation et de discussion dans les milieux universitaires. Basé sur le développement de l'économie du tourisme du village Miao Xijiang en Chine, cet article se concentre sur l'analyse des méthodes de préservation et leurs conséquences sur la culture traditionnelle des communautés ethniques chinoises. Enfin, l’étude souligne que la préservation des cultures traditionnelles et le développement du tourisme dans les communautés ethniques ne sont pas toujours contradictoires ; la participation de la communauté peut aider à atteindre une situation "gagnant-gagnant" pour tous les acteurs.

Les célèbres rizières de Jatiluwih, les subak et l’Unesco à Bali Auteur(s) : Michel, Franck Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Sur l'île de Bali, en Indonésie, paradis touristique et culturel, aujourd'hui en proie à un développement trop rapide, les rizières en terrasses constituent une véritable marque de fabrique du paysage local. La campagne autour de Jatiluwih est désormais le site naturel phare récemment reconnu par l'Unesco. Ses fameuses rizières représentent aussi un parfait exemple du fonctionnement des subak balinais, ces systèmes d’irrigation et de gestion de l’eau qui sont traditionnellement ancrés dans la culture balinaise. Ici, culture et agriculture sont intrinsèquement liées, et de plus en plus menacées. Cet article traite du présent et du devenir de la riziculture, patrimonialisée ou non, face à un essor du tourisme qui tous les jours s'affirme plus massif que culturel. Un défi majeur pour les Balinais qui souhaiteraient que leur paradis ne soit pas perdu mais préservé. On the island of Bali, in Indonesia, a touristic and cultural heaven, nowadays confronted with a too fast development, the typical rice fields form a real distinguishable brand of the local landscape. The countryside around Jatiluwih become now the main natural site recently approved by UNESCO. Its famous rice fields also represent a perfect case of the Balinese system named Subak, a traditional water network deeply rooted in the local culture. Here, culture and agriculture are strongly tied together, but always more threatened these days. This contribution discuss the present and the future of the rice culture, whether put in heritage or not, in the context of a tourism growth which everyday looks more mass than cultural oriented. A major challenge for the Balinese who would prefer to see their paradise not lost but better preserved.

Bali (Indonésie) : le patrimoine culturel contre ou avec le développement touristique ? Un paradis en sursis et le risque d’un tourisme de luxe non maîtrisé Auteur(s) : Michel, Franck Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Cet article traite de la spécificité de l’activité touristique à Bali, fondée sur une identité locale forte et un riche patrimoine naturel et culturel mais aussi troublante en raison de l’importance et la complexité des jeux d’acteurs, ou encore des contextes sociaux, religieux et géopolitiques propres à ce territoire insulaire. Nous analyserons les liens pérennes ou non entre patrimoine et développement en focalisant sur ce qui fait l’image de marque de Bali sur les plans touristique et politique : le tourisme culturel. Cette étude de cas illustre les dynamiques d’acteurs dans le cadre de l’île de Bali où l’on constate une forte imbrication entre tourisme international, protection de l’environnement et promotion du patrimoine culturel. Vendue comme un paradis tropical, perçue comme l'île des Dieux, Bali se voit contrainte de mesurer les risques d'un tourisme culturel qui se transformerait trop rapidement en culture touristique. Des pistes seront proposées afin d’encourager l’ensemble des acteurs à œuvrer pour que le « dernier paradis » (last paradise) ne devienne pas un « paradis perdu » (lost paradise). Since the 1930s, Bali has been generally seen as a traditional tourism destination quite fashionable. Nowadays, a new kind of tourism, rather esoteric if not totally spiritual, is emerging on this small “paradise” often referred as a natural untouched and cultural preserved island. To attire more international tourists, the “Island of Gods”, as the tourism promoters still name this tropical holiday paradise, is now also targeting on the industry of “well-being”. This article deals about the specificity of the local tourism activity which is based on a strong cultural identity and a rich natural and also religious heritage. Uncontrolled development of this predatory industry brings also a lot of new problems, such as pollution or acculturation. Here, our aim is to focus and analyse the real and false ties between heritage, development and tourism, always by keeping in mind that the regional motto about tourism policy still is to encourage “cultural tourism” as a real model (a “brand”, in fact) of success. We especially try to explain, in this current work (still in progress), the touristic situation in the main cultural site located on the island: Ubud. This small city, really boosting during the last decade, is worldwide reputed for the rich cultural performances and seen as “the” artistic capital of Bali. Ubud offers also a perfect example of an intense and dynamic bond between cultural heritage and economic development. Often for the best and sometimes also for the worse. In this rural but international spot, it seems that tourism business allows the local population to live in better ways and, sometimes, even to reborn, culturally speaking! Our case study shows also the big threats behind the current tourism policy: the large scale business occurred by globalization and all the tourism opportunities thus provided cannot hide the real weakness that for sure also concern the balinese way of thinking and living. Cultural tourism could rapidly be transformed in a dangerous kind of tourism of the culture, with all the big (and bad) changes the Balinese don’t want to see happening on their lovely and holy island. So, the present reflection conducts us to think more deeply on some new and alternative ways of developing tourism in Bali. Finally, our aim is to think, first by listening to the desire of the Balinese themselves, in which best manner this “last paradise” will not become a “lost paradise”.

Non-market use and non-use values for preserving ecosystem services over time: A choice experiment application to coral reef ecosystems in New Caledonia Auteur(s) : Marre, Jean-baptiste Brander, Luke Thebaud, Olivier Boncoeur, Jean Pascoe, Sean Coglan, Louisa Pascal, Nicolas Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Sci Ltd Résumé : Non-use values (i.e. economic values assigned by individuals to ecosystem goods and services unrelated to current or future uses) provide one of the most compelling incentives for the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. Assessing the non-use values of non-users is relatively straightforward using stated preference methods, but the standard approaches for estimating non-use values of users (stated decomposition) have substantial shortcomings which undermine the robustness of their results. In this paper, we propose a pragmatic interpretation of non-use values to derive estimates that capture their main dimensions, based on the identification of a willingness to pay for ecosystem protection beyond one's expected life. We empirically test our approach using a choice experiment conducted on coral reef ecosystem protection in two coastal areas in New Caledonia with different institutional, cultural, environmental and socio-economic contexts. We compute individual willingness to pay estimates, and derive individual non-use value estimates using our interpretation. We find that, a minima, estimates of non-use values may comprise between 25 and 40% of the mean willingness to pay for ecosystem preservation, less than has been found in most studies.

Les potentialités écotouristiques dans la préfecture de Doufelgou (Togo, Afrique de l’Ouest) Auteur(s) : Koumantiga, Dabitora Wala, Kpérkouma Batawila, Komlan Akpagana, Koffi Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : La présente étude a été menée dans les cantons de la préfecture de Doufelgou au Nord Togo. Sur la base de la beauté du paysage, des richesses naturelles et des enquêtes semi-structurées, le potentiel écotouristique de cette préfecture a été évalué. Le traitement des données spatiales collectées a permis de réaliser la carte écotouristique et de proposer un circuit touristique. Trois catégories de potentialités ont été répertoriées : les potentialités naturelles, les potentialités culturelles et les potentialités anthropiques. Ces potentialités peu valorisées subissent à des degrés variables diverses pressions susceptibles de les mettre en péril. Cet article présente ces diverses potentialités et analyse les opportunités socio-économique et environnementale d’un développement écotouristique dans cette zone. This study was conducted in the cantons of Doufelgou prefecture in Northern Togo. On the basis of the beauty of the landscape, natural resources and semi-structured surveys, the potential ecotourism in this prefecture was evaluated. The treatment of spatial data collected helped make ecotourism map and to propose a tourist circuit. Three categories of potential have been identified: the natural potential, cultural potential and human potential. These potentialities are little valued and suffer to varying degrees various pressures which may put them at risk. This paper presents various potential and carries an analysis on socio-economic and environmental benefits of ecotourism development in this area.

En effet, les écosystèmes marins sont essentiels d’autant plus, qu’ils présentent en Nouvelle-Calédonie une grande richesse, notamment en termes de patrimoine culturel. Ce sont majoritairement les Kanak qui habitent sur la Côte Est de la Province nord, où la Collectivité et le WWF collaborent à la mise en place de plusieurs aires marines protégées (AMP). Jusqu’à présent, la gestion coutumière Kanak a permis une relative préservation de ces écosystèmes dans un secteur littoral non soumis aux pressions de l’urbanisation, du tourisme ou de la navigation. L’étude s’attache à souligner les enjeux autour de la mise en place des AMP et des perspectives de développement local, sur le milieu marin et les populations locales. Il s’agit de voir comment cette expérimentation est envisagée par les différents acteurs (État, Province Nord, associations, coutumiers, etc.) et de s’interroger sur les mécanismes de gouvernance. This study allows a distinct approach to thinking about the marine resources in a protected area. Indeed, marine ecosystems are essential, especially as they are in New Caledonia, particularly in terms of cultural heritage. It is mainly Kanak who live on the East Coast of the North Province, where the Community and WWF collaborate on the installation of several marine protected areas (MPAs). So far, the Kanak customary management allowed a relative preservation of these ecosystems in a coastal area not subject to the pressures of urbanization, tourism and navigation. The study aims to highlight the issues surrounding the establishment of MPAs and opportunities for local development on the marine environment and local populations. This is to see how this experiment is considered by the various actors (State, Northern Province, associations, etc. customary). And to consider the mechanisms of governance.

Tourisme « patrimonial » et mémoire : les sites industriel et agricole de Beauport et la Grivelière (Guadeloupe) Auteur(s) : Breton, Jean-Marie Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : La préservation et l’exploitation durable du patrimoine culturel, en particulier du patrimoine historique (et, accessoirement, scientifique), et sa mise en tourisme au service d’activités de loisirs et de découverte, suscitent de nouvelles formes et alimentent de nouvelles offres de tourismes, dites « alternatives », sur lesquelles elle s’appuie en retour.Le patrimoine historique de la Guadeloupe, tant agricole qu’industriel, longtemps délaissé et aujourd’hui redécouvert et remis en valeur, en constitue un exemple significatif, comme il en va dans d’autres territoires et pays de la Caraïbe. Il en illustre les potentialités tout en justifiant les attentes qui s’y attachent en matière de développement local tant touristique que plus général.La reconnaissance de la valeur patrimoniale et de l’intérêt culturel des sites concernés constitue toutefois un phénomène relativement récent, à travers leur sauvegarde et leur réhabilitation. Leur valorisation et leur ouverture au public vont de pair avec leur exploitation au profit d’un tourisme de mémoire marqué par une forte connotation pédagogique. The preservation and sustainable use of cultural heritage, especially historical (and, incidentally, scientific) heritage, and its introduction into tourism for the benefit of leisure and discovery activities, give rise to new forms and fuel new offers of tourism, called “alternatives”, on which they rely in return.The historical heritage of Guadeloupe, both agricultural and industrial, which has long been untouched and now being rediscovered and restored, is a significant example of this, as it is in other Caribbean territories and countries. It illustrates their potentialities while justifying the expectations that are attached to them in terms of local development both tourism and more general.Recognition of the heritage value and cultural interest of the sites concerned, however, is a relatively recent phenomenon, through their safeguarding and rehabilitation. Their valorisation and their opening to the public go hand in hand with their exploitation in favor of a tourism of memory marked by a strong pedagogical connotation. La conservación y el uso sostenible del patrimonio cultural, especialmente del patrimonio histórico (y, de paso, científico), y su asignacion al turismo en el servicio de la recreación y del descubrimiento, dan lugar a nuevas formas y nuevos acuerdos de suministro turismo "alternativo", en los que se basa en el rendimiento.El patrimonio histórico de Guadalupe, tanto agrícolas como industriales, y hoy a largo redescuidado y redescubierto, constituye un ejemplo significativo, como es el caso en otros territorios y países del Caribe. Esto ilustra sus potencialidades y justifica las expectativas para uno desarrollo local turistico como mas general.El reconocimiento de la valor patrimonial y de la importancia cultural de los sitios considerados, sin embargo, es un fenómeno relativamente reciente, a través de su protección y rehabilitación. Su desarrollo y su apertura al público van mano a mano con su explotación en beneficio de un turismo de memoria marcada por una fuerte connotación educativa.
