Description : The import data from the Ministry of Trade indicates that Suriname has increased pesticides imports over the last five years. According to research evidence, as much as 80% of potential production in various crops including rice would be lost as a result of agricultural pests without crop protection measures. Even though the benefits of chemical pesticides use are clear, negative health and environmental impacts of their use are also evident. In lieu of this information a study was conducted to determine small rice farmers? perceptions on their knowledge of pesticide use, and safety of pesticides in rice production For this investigation a questionnaire was adapted from a pesticide use survey to generate and collect meaningful data on perceptions of small rice farmer?s knowledge and practices related to pesticide use and safety aspects in rice production in Nickerie. The sample population consisted of 200 small rice farmers.?The collected data was analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Descriptive statistics and correlation were used to describe the data. Findings reveal that the rice farmers are male, on the average older than 50 years and have more than 15 years of experience with rice production. Results also reveal that farmers perceive the recommended dosage as too little and therefore increase the dosage. They often mix different types of pesticides and do not use all of their protective equipment while spraying. Based on the results it is recommended to develop pesticide policies to stimulate farmers to practice safe pesticide use in Suriname. Les données d'importation du ministère du commerce indiquent que le Surinam a augmenté des importations de pesticides au cours des cinq dernières années. Selon des preuves de recherches, pas moins de 80% de production potentielle dans diverses cultures comprenant le riz serait perdu en raison des parasites agricoles sans mesures de protection des cultures. Quoique les avantages d'une utilité chimique de pesticides soient clairs, la santé et les impacts sur l'environnement négatifs de leur utilisation est également évident. Au lieu de cette information une étude a été entreprise pour déterminer les perceptions des petits agriculteurs de riz sur leur connaissance d'utilisation de pesticide, et la sécurité des pesticides dans la production de riz. Pour cette enquête un questionnaire a été adapté d'une enquête d'utilisation de pesticide pour se produire et rassembler des données significatives sur des perceptions de la connaissance du petit agriculteur de riz et des pratiques s'est rapporté aux conditions de sécurité d'utiliser-et de pesticide dans la production de riz dans Nickerie. La population témoin s'est composée de 200 petits agriculteurs de riz. Les données rassemblées ont été analysées utilisant SPSS et Microsoft Excel. Des statistiques descriptives et la corrélation ont été employées pour décrire les données. Les résultats indiquent que les agriculteurs de riz sont masculins, les plus vieux que 50 années moyennes et ont plus de 15 ans d'expérience avec la production de riz. Les résultats indiquent également que les agriculteurs perçoivent le dosage recommandé en tant que trop peu et augmentent donc le dosage. Ils souvent mélangent différents types de pesticides et n'utilisent pas tout leur équipement de protection tout en pulvérisant. Basé sur les résultats on lui recommande de développer des politiques de pesticide pour stimuler des agriculteurs pratiquer l'utilisation sûre de pesticide au Surinam.

Extrait de : "Terres promises, représentations et imaginaires" : colloque, du 25 au 27 novembre 2015. Université des Antilles
Description : Les post-colonial studies ont largement démontré s'il en était besoin la réalité d'une pensée autonome du dominé face à la pensée dominante qui a prétendue occuper la totalité de l'espace intellectuel du colonisé et dire à sa place sa vérité et ses espérances. Frantz Fanon, dans la vision dichotomique que l'on connait, postulait l'existence d'un imaginaire du colonisé antinomique à celui du colon, univers mental théorisé mais reflétant plutôt peu que prou les caractères de l'univers mental antillais de ses origines. Il ne reste pas moins qu'on ne puis non plus se satisfaire de ramener l'imaginaire antillais à la seule quête d'assimilation. La démarche historique permet de vérifier quelles furent les perceptions du réel dans la pensée antillaise et les projections concevables qui s'énoncèrent entre interstices d'une pensée coloniale dominante réduisant à néant le sujet. L'imaginaire politique tel qu'il s'offre à l'observation à travers les productions de textes politiques (journaux, proclamation, débats, récits et polémiques) est une source féconde pour l'exégèse. Notre contribution tentera d'esquisser les contours de l'imaginaire politique guadeloupéen à travers l'expression de trois personnages majeurs de l'histoire politique du XXe siècle qui furent chacun des leaders d'opinion, confirmant une certaine adéquation de l'expression politique de ces leaders avec l'imaginaire politique populaire : Hégésippe Jean Légitimus (+ 1944), Achille René-Biosneuf (+1927), et Rosan Girard (+2001), ce dernier dirigeant communiste et leader populaire charismatique des années 1945-60, n'étant pas le moins original des trois.

Extrait de : Les rencontres culturelles de la BU 2017-2018. Université des Antilles
Description : En résonance avec le Festival La Caravelle fait ses bulles qui se tiendra les 12, 13 et 14 octobre sur le thème des « enfants terribles », la BU du Campus de Schoelcher consacre une après-midi d'études à la perception de la bande dessinée comme marge littéraire et aux représentations de la marginalité sociale et urbaine dans les bandes dessinées. En effet, la bande dessinée est "un objet culturel non identifié" selon Thierry Groensteen. Les situations, les décors comme les personnages se développent dans un art hybride entre graphisme et littérature. La marginalité est donc double, à la fois, historiquement, dans la forme et dans les sujets mis en textes et dessins. Pour discuter de cette thématique, le festival a invité sept auteurs de bandes dessinées représentant une large palette des différentes typologies de la bande dessinée : documentaire, voyage d'exploration, science-fiction, adaptation littéraire, etc. Sept dessinateurs et scénaristes sont invités : Marguerite Abouet, auteur notamment de la série Aya de Yopougon ; Julie Blanchin Fujita, qui a fait de son séjour au Japon un récit dessiné ; Benjamin Flao, dont le dernier héros fait l'école buissonnière dans un village du littoral kenyan ; François Gabourg, dont le prochain album concerne la relation dominant/dominé vue par le prisme de l'esclavage ; Grégory Mahieux, qui met en images l'expérience de la relation avec un enfant sourd ; Hervé Tanquerelle, dont le double, dessinateur de BD, part dans une expédition folle au Groenland ; Lucas Vallerie qui narre l'ambiance de Saint-Pierre avant et après l'éruption de la Pelée, avec son personnage principal Cyparis. Pour converser avec ces auteurs de bandes dessinées, seront présent Alfred Alexandre, auteur notamment de la trilogie foyalaise ; Michael Roch, écrivain et créateur de chaînes YouTube, notamment La brigade du livre ; Marvin Fabien, artiste multimédia, musicien et doctorant en art et musicologie et Florence Ménez

MaComère ; MaComere

Éditeur(s) : Hyacinth M. Simpson Bowdoin College Hyacinth M. Simpson ( Manitoba, Canada ) Bowdoin College ( Brunswick, ME )
Résumé : The word macomère is widely used by women in the Caribbean to mean "my child's godmother"; "my best friend and close female confindante"; "my bridesmaid, or another female wedding member of a wedding party of which I was a bridesmaid"; "the godmother of the child to whom I am also godmother"; "the woman who, by virtue of the depth of her friendship, has rights and privileges over my child and is a surrogate mother." This name seems appropriate because it so clearly expresses the intimate relations which women in the Caribbean share, is so firmly gendered, and honors the importance of friendship in relation to the important rituals of marriage, birth, and (implied) death. Moreover, macomère is a French Creole word which, although related to the French language, has taken on a structure and meaning which is indigenous to the Caribbean. The word is spelled in this way, instead of in the clearly Creole manner (macumè, makumeh, macoomè, macomeh, and many other variants), so that the female connotations of the word are highlighted and those meanings which apply to males ("a womanish or gossipy man"; "a homosexual") are less obvious. In those islands where Krèol (linguistic term for the French patos) is the first language, the same term is used for both females and males with meaning determined by the context. In islands such as Trinidad, however, where English has overlain Krèol, the Creole (linguistic term for the English patois) has incorporated the redundant my macomè and macomè man, thus reinforcing both the perceptions of intimacy and the female quality of the term. Interestingly enough, Richard Allsopp in The Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage (Oxford University Press, 1996) has indicated the possibility that maku in Belize, with the meaning "midwife", is also derived from macomère. Hence, the word forces us to recall the continuities and correspondences in Caribbean languages and cultures, as well as the dynamic, creative, and transforming power of Creoles. In the purely English-speaking islands, the only comparable term is godmother (usually the mother's best friend). In the Hispanophone Caribbean, there is the similar comadre, although, as we would expect, some of the connotations are different. Join us in continuing to interrogate all the connotations of the meaning inherent in this culturally rich lexical item from the Caribbean Creoles.

The lack of screening is the leading factor associated with the misperception of overweight in an adult population of the French West Indies

Résumé : poster presentation, 22nd European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular protection, London,26-29 April 2012
OBJECTIVE: Several studies demonstrate that the perception of overweight is associated with attempts at weight control in overweight subjects. Our objective is to describe the factors associated with the perception of overweight in an adult Caribbean population, and in particular, to assess the relationship between the perception of overweight and previous medical diagnosis of overweight. METHOD AND DESIGN: Consant was a cross-sectional study carried out in 2007 on a representative sample of the adult Guadeloupean population. Included were 1,005 subjects aged 25-74 years, drawn from stratified random sampling, and interviewed at home. The perception of overweight was evaluated by the question: "Do you consider yourself to be overweight?" with a binary response. RESULTS: Among overweight subjects (Body Mass Index ≥ 25 kg/m2, n = 576), 38.6% provided an incorrect assessment of their weight status. This proportion falls to 17.4% in those who stated to have previously received a medical diagnosis of overweight. However, only 48.8% of overweight subjects stated to have received such a diagnosis. A logistic regression shows that the underestimation of weight status is associated with the absence of previous diagnosis for overweight (OR: 5.35 - p < 10-3), as well as an age greater than or equal to 55 years (OR: 2.91 - p < 10-3), a BMI of less than 30 kg/m² (OR: 2.26 - p: 0.001), the male sex (OR: 1.86 - p: 0.004), and a low income level (OR: 1.62 - p: 0.030), but not a lack of awareness regarding the role of weight control in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Similar results are observed if waist circumference is taken as a factor instead of BMI. CONCLUSION: In this population, the lack of medical diagnosis of overweight was the leading factor associated with misperception of overweight. Screening for overweight therefore appears to be one of the preconditions to weight management, and remains a fundamental but often unused element in the fight against obesity.
