Description : French Overseas Départements are no longer islands as far as their economy is concerned : costs of transatlantic transportation has become too low to provide local productions with sufficient protection. The growth of local unemployment is a threat today for these societies. Producing new goods or services for export seems hardly conceivable for the time being, as french Overseas departments did not find any comparative advantage so far. So, recovering domestic market seems the only way to get jobs. But such a policy would require that would be allowed to raise customs to protect their domestic market : a change for a new status in E.U. law would be necessary, and these ultraperipherical regions would have to be changed into overseas countries and territories.

Résumé : Imputer, comme on le fait quotidiennement, le mal-développement des départements français d’outre-mer à leur « éloignement » et à leur « insularité » est devenu un véritable rite, mais paraît peu fondé lorsque l’on analyse objectivement les conditions de la desserte et de l’approvidionnement de ces départements depuis la métropole : l’insularité n’est plus une réalité économique. Bien au contraire, son abolition a exposé les activités productives locales à la concurrence des importations, et les a littéralement laminées. La dangereuse montée de l’inactivité au sein des populations de l’outre-mer conduit donc à rechercher les conditions d’une relance de ces activités productives. La conquète de nouveaux marchés extérieurs suppose des avantages comparatifs … qui restent à découvrir. La reconquète du marché intérieur serait, par contre, possible si une protection ponctuelle du marché local par des droits de douane redevenait juridiquement concevable : le passage à un statut communautaire de P.T.O.M. en serait la condition.

Résumé : From Wikipedia (March 23, 2013) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Robert_Madden : Richard Robert Madden (born Dublin, Ireland 22 August 1798, died Dublin, 5 February 1886) was an Irish doctor, writer, abolitionist and historian of the United Irishmen. He was born at Wormwood Gate, Dublin to Edward Madden, a silk manufacturer. He was educated at private schools. He studied medicine in Paris, Italy, and St George's Hospital, London. While in Naples he became acquainted with Lady Blessington and her circle.[1] Madden was employed in the British civil service from 1833, first as a justice of the peace in Jamaica, where he was one of six Special Magistrates sent to oversee the eventual liberation of Jamaica's slave population, according to the terms of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833. From 1835 he was Superintendent of the freed Africans in Havana. His son, Thomas More Madden, who later became a surgeon and writer, was born there. In 1839 he became the investigating officer into the slave trade on the west coast of Africa, in 1847 the secretary for the West Australian colonies. He returned to Dublin and in 1850 he was named secretary of the Office for Loan Funds in Dublin.[2] He died at his home in Booterstown, just south of Dublin city, in 1886 and is interred in Donnybrook Cemetery.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Sampling design is a key issue when establishing species inventories and characterizing habitats within highly heterogeneous landscapes. Sampling efforts in such environments may be constrained and many field studies only rely on subjective and/or qualitative approaches to design collection strategy. The region of Cacao, in French Guiana, provides an excellent study site to understand the presence and abundance of Anopheles mosquitoes, their species dynamics and the transmission risk of malaria across various environments. We propose an objective methodology to define a stratified sampling design. Following thorough environmental characterization, a factorial analysis of mixed groups allows the data to be reduced and non-collinear principal components to be identified while balancing the influences of the different environmental factors. Such components defined new variables which could then be used in a robust k-means clustering procedure. Then, we identified five clusters that corresponded to our sampling strata and selected sampling sites in each stratum. RESULTS: We validated our method by comparing the species overlap of entomological collections from selected sites and the environmental similarities of the same sites. The Morisita index was significantly correlated (Pearson linear correlation) with environmental similarity based on i) the balanced environmental variable groups considered jointly (p = 0.001) and ii) land cover/use (p-value<0.001). The Jaccard index was significantly correlated with land cover/use-based environmental similarity (p-value = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results validate our sampling approach. Land cover/use maps (based on high spatial resolution satellite images) were shown to be particularly useful when studying the presence, density and diversity of Anopheles mosquitoes at local scales and in very heterogeneous landscapes.

Résumé : Depuis désormais plus de deux décennies d’existence, le Parc National de la Guadeloupe connait un renouveau, mais surtout des bouleversements de tous ordres (sociaux, économiques, culturels, politiques et juridiques) avec la réforme du régime des parcs nationaux français. D’instrument de protection intégrale, il est devenu un instrument de protection intégrée, vecteur de développement durable. Malgré les critiques, les avancés dans le régime de conservation sont bien présentes. Dans la famille des parcs nationaux d’Outre-Mer, le Parc national de la Guadeloupe est le « frère ainé ». Pour lui, la réforme représente une évolution, mais dans quel sens ?
Since now more than two decades of its existence, after the reform of the legal regime of national parks, the National Park of Guadeloupe faces a renewal and challenges of all kinds (social, economic, cultural, political and legal). A tool for protection has become an instrument for integration, vector of the sustainable development. Despite the criticisms, progresses in the conservation regime are present. However, their efficacy may be limited, owing to its facultative applicability to France of the Overseas. In the family of National Parks from overseas, the National Park of Guadeloupe is the elder brother. For PNG this represents an improvement, but in what direction?

Résumé : National audience
The most recent data on prevalence of chronic hepatitis B and C in the French Overseas Territories (FOT) show great variability among these territories with a prevalence rising from 0.46 to 3.4% for HBs Antigen and from 0.02 to 0.67%for anti HCV antibodies. The modes of transmission rely mainly for HBV on sexual or materno-fetal exposure, especially among people from non-French border endemic areas, and for HCV on blood or nosocomial route. Good adhesion of the treating physicians and pediatricians to vaccination has significantly reduced the prevalence of HBV in the ten past years, with an estimated coverage of 75 to 85%depending on the territories. Although there is still a high prevalence of HBV in some FOT, the screening policy and management are based on those carried out inmetropolitan France, which seems insufficient and inadequate to the situation of these territories. Regarding the therapeutic management of HCV, the means attributed to FOT have been identical to those of metropolitan France but the small number of specialist practitioners and remoteness contributed to provision of new molecules later in certain territories. Medical pluridisciplinary sessions have been implemented and based on the universitary or regional hospitals. Copyright © 2017 John Libbey Eurotext.

Résumé : Cet article présente une évaluation des bénéfices de la protection par le Conservatoire du littoral et ses partenaires des mangroves de Guyane, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte et Saint-Martin. Il détaille l’évaluation des services écosystémiques des mangroves sur ces territoires, puis développe des projections pour l’évolution de leurs surfaces en présence ou en absence de protection par le Conservatoire du littoral et ses partenaires. Évaluation et projections ont permis d’estimer les conséquences économiques de cette protection sur 25 ans. Les bénéfices calculés de cette protection sont compris entre 33 000 €/ha et 51 000 €/ha pour les mangroves soumises à des pressions anthropiques importantes. Le maintien des services de régulation correspond à 90 % de cette valeur, surtout pour la capacité des mangroves à épurer les eaux continentales, à protéger et stabiliser la côte et à participer à la régulation du climat global en séquestrant du carbone. Ces résultats objectivent la place des mangroves dans l’économie locale du littoral outre-mer et offrent un plaidoyer pour l’acquisition et la protection des espaces les plus vulnérables par le Conservatoire du littoral et ses partenaires. Les limites inhérentes aux méthodologies utilisées s’appliquent ici : ces évaluations permettent de capter les valeurs d’usage des écosystèmes, mais ne prennent pas en compte la totalité des valeurs de biodiversité, telles que les valeurs de non-usage ou les aspects liés aux espèces remarquables des mangroves. Toutefois, les résultats de ce travail permettent de donner des estimations réalistes à considérer comme des bornes inférieures de la valeur totale des écosystèmes et de leur protection.
This article presents a valuation of the benefits brought by the protection of mangroves from the Conservatoire du littoral and its partners in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Saint Martin. We detail a contextualized mangroves’ ecosystem services valuation, then develop projections regarding the evolution of their surfaces whether they are protected or not. It was then possible to estimate the economic impacts of 25 years of mangroves protection. When human pressure is high, those benefits range from 33 000 €/ha to 51 000 €/ha. About 90% of this value is due to the conservation of regulating services, such as water treatment capacity, coastal protection and global climate mitigation through carbon sequestration. Our results objectify the importance of mangrove ecosystems in oversea coastal territories’ local economy, and provide advocacy and guidance for the protection strategy of the Conservatoire du littoral and its partners. The methodology we used has inherent limitations one should consider: the ecosystem services valuation focuses on use values and excludes most non-use or intrinsic values, which could also be important for mangroves regarding their remarkable biodiversity. However, our results supply a realistic valuation to be understood as a lower boundary for the total value of oversea mangroves and for the benefits of their protection.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: In Guadeloupe and Martinique, two French Overseas Departments, colorectal cancer (CRC) has become an essential public health issue. However, little is known about CRC characteristics and the p53 status in these populations, particularly in Guadeloupe, whereas certification of a cancer registry has been recently validated. METHODS: This was a descriptive retrospective study of 201 patients who, between 1995 and 2000, underwent surgery for CRC in the Guadeloupe Teaching Hospital (GlpeTH; 83 patients) and in the Martinique Teaching Hospital (MqueTH; 118 patients). The clinicopathological features and the p53 expression, evaluated with immunohistochemistry, were compared at the time of diagnosis. A relationship between these parameters and the p53 expression was also studied. Data were analysed, using the SPSS computer software version 17.0. RESULTS: No statistical difference was found between the two groups of patients regarding age (p = 0.60), percentage of young patients (<=50 years; p = 0.94)), sex (p = 0.47), histological type (p = 0.073) and tumour sites (p = 0.65), although the GlpeTH patients were diagnosed with more distal colon cancers (54.2%) than the Mque TH patients (47.4%). By contrast, a significant difference was found regarding the tumour grade (p < 0.0001), the pTNM stage (p = 0.045) and the pT stage (p < 0.0001). Regarding p53 expression, solely for the MqueTH patients, nuclear expression was associated with pTNM, the percentage of p53 negative tumours increasing with the progression of the pTNM stages (p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS: For the first time, this study reveals discrepancies in clinicopathological features and in the p53 status between the two groups of patients. The GlpeTH patients were diagnosed with more moderated CRCs but with few CRCs at pTNM IV stage. By contrast, the MqueTH patients were diagnosed with more differentiated tumours, but with many more CRCs at pTNM IV stage. This paradox may be due to differences in tumour location (distal vs proximal), multiplicity of the genetic profiles of patients, or patients getting treatment elsewhere. Although our study is limited due to its small size, it emphasizes the originality of our results.

Résumé : The social change which takes place in the French West Indies after the Second World War ensues from a historical interactive process. It occurs between 1946 and 1961, within the frame of the new dynamic fostered in the aftermath of the war. Here we refer to the new political status of Department, the outbreak of social conflicts during the process of decolonization, the public policies and the planning of “the economic and social development” of the overseas departments. The dynamic also includes the population growth with the birth of a new generation- from the sociological point of view. The aforementioned interaction instils the new type of society emerging in the French West Indies since the 1960’s, without drastically changing their colonial social structure. This transformation named “Departmentalization” seems paradoxical because it will generate “modern” social frustrations, while maintaining existing frustrations that stemmed from the plantation society. This process led to the transition from a slave society to a consumer society. It allows us to understand the persistence of a latent social unrest in these departments, in spite of the overall significant improvement of the living conditions during the early twentieth century.
La transformation sociale des Antilles françaises qui se produit après la Seconde Guerre mondiale résulte d’un processus interactif historique. Celui-ci se produit entre 1946 et 1961 autour des nouvelles dynamiques de l’après-guerre. Il s’agit du statut départemental, de la décolonisation avec l’explosion des conflits sociaux, de la politique publique de « développement économique et social » avec la planification dans les départements d’outre-mer, et de l’accroissement démographique avec l’apparition d’une nouvelle génération « sociologique ». C’est précisément cette interaction qui est à l’origine du nouveau type de société qui émerge aux Antilles à partir des années 1960 sans pour autant que leur structure sociale coloniale ne soit bouleversée. Cette construction qui prend le nom commun de « Départementalisation » est paradoxale car elle va générer des frustrations sociales « modernes », tout en maintenant des frustrations anciennes issues de la société de plantation. En induisant ainsi le passage d’un monde d’ « habitation » à un monde de consommation, cette construction permet de comprendre un peu mieux, le maintien, au début du XXIe siècle, d’un malaise social latent dans ces départements en dépit d’une amélioration sensible et générale des conditions de vie.

Résumé : International audience
The French education system remains highly centralized and only allows limited local adaptations for overseas territories. For example, if some laws (the last in 2013) allow the use of regional languages (e.g. Creole in the French West Indies) when they constitute a relevant contribution to the teaching, many official texts remain mainly based on the geographical, economical, historical, environment of the French mainland. We focus on some French BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur / Advanced Technician Certificate), namely tourism and assistant manager, which are two important diplomas for the local development and in which microeconomic and management sciences plays a great part. The French BTS is a professional diploma prepared in two years after the “baccalauréat”, with national programs and evaluation criteria. The successful candidates are supposed to be immediately employable, especially in their local geographical environment. Thus, there exists a paradox between the national definition of the diploma and the local contexts of teaching. We discuss how teachers concretely deal with this situation on a day-to-day basis. Our hypothesis is that they act pragmatically, using their practical pedagogical content knowledge, without theoretical support for their action. In order to verify this hypothesis, we have conducted semi-structured interview with Guadeloupian teachers of the two aforementioned BTS. The main results shows that teachers adapt the national framework of the diploma, essentially by using local examples. This can be called a weak contextualization of the national texts. Indeed, these adaptations remain limited by fear of disadvantaging the students for the national exam. In addition, many context effects are shown, for example linked with local rules (concerning VAT, custom duties...) which are only partially taken into account by teachers. This demonstrates that the French educative system has not yet completely solved the opposition between national guideline and decentralization of the educational action.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Histoplasmosis is an endemic fungal infection in French Guiana. It is the most common AIDS-defining illness and the leading cause of AIDS-related deaths. Diagnosis is difficult, but in the past 2 decades, it has improved in this French overseas territory which offers an interesting model of Amazonian pathogen ecology. The objectives of the present study were to describe the temporal trends of incidence and mortality indicators for HIV-associated histoplasmosis in French Guiana. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to describe early mortality rates observed in persons diagnosed with incident cases of HIV-associated Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum histoplasmosis admitted in one of the three main hospitals in French Guiana between 1992 and 2011. Early mortality was defined by death occurring within 30 days after antifungal treatment initiation. Data were collected on standardized case report forms and analysed using standard statistical methods. RESULTS: There were 124 deaths (45.3%) and 46 early deaths (16.8%) among 274 patients. Three time periods of particular interest were identified: 1992-1997, 1998-2004 and 2005-2011. The two main temporal trends were: the proportion of early deaths among annual incident histoplasmosis cases significantly declined four fold (χ2, p<0.0001) and the number of annual incident histoplasmosis cases increased three fold between 1992-1997 and 1998-2004, and subsequently stabilized. CONCLUSION: From an occasional exotic diagnosis, AIDS-related histoplasmosis became the top AIDS-defining event in French Guiana. This was accompanied by a spectacular decrease of early mortality related to histoplasmosis, consistent with North American reference center mortality rates. The present example testifies that rapid progress could be at reach if awareness increases and leads to clinical and laboratory capacity building in order to diagnose and treat this curable disease.

Résumé : International audience
Purpose: Social inequalities in cancer incidence and mortality have been reported in France, but no data are available for the French overseas territories. Our objective was to explore the association between cancer incidence and the socioeconomic level of the residence area in the French West Indies. Methods: Cancer incidence data were obtained from the cancer registries of Guadeloupe and Martinique (2009–2010). To assess socioeconomic status, we developed a specific index of social deprivation from census data at a small area level. We used Bayesian methods to evaluate the association between cancer incidence and the deprivation index, for all cancers combined and for the major cancer sites. Results: There was no clear association between area‐based deprivation and the incidence of all cancers combined. In men, higher area deprivation was associated with a higher incidence of prostate cancer (relative risk (RR) 1.25, 95% credible interval (CI) 1.04–1.49; RR 1.08, CI 0.91–1.29 in the categories of intermediate and high deprivation, respectively, compared to low deprivation), but was not associated with respiratory cancer. Women living in the most deprived areas had a higher incidence of stomach (RR 1.77, CI 1.12–2.89), breast (RR 1.15, CI 0.90–1.45), and cervical (RR 1.13, CI 0.63–2.01) cancers and a lower incidence of respiratory cancer (RR 0.65, CI 0.38–1.11). Conclusion: These first results in the French West Indies suggest specific patterns for some cancer sites that need to be further investigated. © 2017, Springer International Publishing AG.

Résumé : The goal of this study was to provide economic data to align Ifremer's research programme with the global socio-economic context, which is the crux of this work. Although the economies of the French Overseas Departments and Territories are poorly understood in mainland France, a brief macroeconomic analysis shows that they have the following main features: steady, but unbalanced growth, as indicated by high unemployment rates and low trade indices, and an overdeveloped services sector. This situation can be explained by an economic growth regime specific to the French overseas regions. It is based on, for the most part, public subsidies, a voluntary strategy promoted by the public authorities to raise the standards of living in the overseas regions.
L'objet de cette étude est de fournir des éléments économiques qui permettent de mettre en parallèle la démarche de programmation de recherche de l'IFREMER et le contexte socio-économique d'ensemble dans lequel cette recherche s'insère. Si l'économie des DOM-TOM reste méconnue en métropole, une analyse macroéconomique rapide montre bien quelles en sont les caractéristiques principales : une croissance soutenue mais très déséquilibrée comme l'attestent un taux de chômage élevé et un taux de couverture des importations dérisoire, l'existence d'un secteur tertiaire qualifié parfois d'"hypertrophié"... Cette situation s'explique par un mode de croissance spécifique à l'outre-mer français. Il repose pour une large part sur l'intervention financière publique, qui elle-même découle de la volonté exprimée par les pouvoirs publics de promouvoir un rattrapage rapide des niveaux de vie ultramarins.
