Description : In 2015, Fort-de France the main city of Martinique made the ambitious decision to introduce a new mode of public transportation, a reserved public transport lane, or "RPTL". In a first part of our study based on the structural approach of social representation (Abric, 1994), we explored the content and the structure of the social representation of the RTPL. The second part of the study was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989). The aim was to identify the sociopsychological determinants of the intention to use this new mode of transport.

Résumé : La question de l’attractivité est souvent évoquée par plusieurs auteurs pour expliquer les mobilités étudiantes, qu’elles soient internationales ou régionales. L’attractivité du pays d’accueil ou des universités accueillantes font ainsi partie des logiques explicatives avancées. Ce papier part du contexte de crise universitaire et académique généré par le séisme de 2010 à Haïti pour réfléchir sur les fluctuations de la notion d’attractivité dans le cadre de mobilités étudiantes quasiment forcées et actées depuis des pays africains. Et ceci, en examinant des programmes de mobilité proposés par le Bénin et le Sénégal aux étudiants haïtiens au moment où la plupart des pays du Nord optaient davantage pour une délocalisation des étudiants haïtiens ou un maintien sur place. Notre propos relativise fortement le critère d’attractivité comme déterminant majeur des mobilités étudiantes en contexte de crise de l’institution universitaire.
The issue of attractiveness is often mentioned by several authors to explain international or regional student’s mobilities. The attractiveness of the host country, or host universities are part of the explanatory logic’s scheme. This paper mobilizes the context of academic crisis generated by the 2010’s earthquake in Haiti to examine the meanings of the concept of attractiveness in the almost forced student mobility and originated from African countries. And this, by examining institutional and political springs of mobility programs offered by Benin and Senegal to Haitian students while most northern countries opted to relocate Haitian students or maintain them on site. Our analysis highly relativizes attractiveness as major determinant of student mobility in the context of academic crisis generated by natural disaster.

Résumé : International audience
High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is remarkably mobile in living cells, which reflects its ability to interact only transiently with both DNA and protein. This property is likely essential for HMGB1 nuclear activities. Nonetheless the weak interaction of HMGB1 with DNA and/or protein partners has also been a major limitation for investigating HMGB1 subnuclear localisation and for the identification of HMGB1 containing complexes by conventional biochemical approaches. In the present study, FRAP experiments demonstrated that DsRed-mediated oligomerization strongly reduces HMGB1 mobility due to an increased affinity for cellular chromatin. Moreover, oligomerized DsRed HMGB1 exhibited a higher affinity for supercoiled DNA in vitro compared to its monomeric counterpart. These results indicate that DsRed-meditated oligomerization is prone to stabilize labile interactions involving HMGB1 both in vivo and in vitro.

Résumé : In this study, we assessed past and present influence of ancient mining activity on metal(loid) enrichment in sediments of a former mining watershed (Gardon River, SE France), that is now industrialized and urbanized. A sedimentary archive and current sediments were characterized combining geochemical analyses, zinc isotopic analyses and sequential extractions. The archive was used to establish local geochemical background and recorded (i) increasing enrichment factors (EFs) for Pb, Zn, Cd, Tl, Hg, As and Sb throughout the industrial era, (ii) a contamination peak in 1976 attributed to a tailings dam failure, and (iii) current levels in 2002 and 2011 similar to those of 1969, except for Sb and Hg, reflecting a persisting contamination pattern. Inter-element relationships and spatial distribution of EF values of current sediments throughout the watershed suggested that both ancient and current contamination had a common origin for Pb, Zn, Cd, Tl and As related to the exploitation of Pb/Zn mineralization while old Sb mines and coal extraction area were the main sources for Sb and Hg respectively. This prevailing mining origin was reflected for Zn by a relatively uniform isotopic composition at δ66Zn = 0.23 ± 0.03‰, although slight decrease from 0.23‰ to 0.18‰ was recorded from upstream to downstream sites along the river course in relation with the contribution of the lighter δ66Zn signature (~ 0.08‰) of acid mine drainage impacted tributaries. Results from sequential extractions revealed that the potential mobility of the studied metal(loid)s varied in the order Sb < Tl ≈ As < Zn < Pb < Cd, with an increase of the mobile pool for Cd, Pb, Zn and to a lesser extent for As and Tl associated to increased enrichment. Altogether, these results tend to demonstrate that ancient mining activity still contributes to metal enrichment in the sediments of the Gardon River and that some of these metals may be mobilized toward the water compartment.

Résumé : Marine Protected Areas (MPA) are often contemplated as a tool for the sustainable management of exploited resources and ecosystem conservation. This paper proposes an approach to establish a statistical diagnostic of the effects of MPAs on fish assemblages, and define corresponding ecological indicators. This requires choosing relevant variables (abundance, diversity, demographic parameters..) and appropriate statistical methods. The study was based on data from the Abore reef Reserve in New Caledonia. Two sets of methods: 1-inferential linear models (ANOVA, GLM): 2- Partial Least Squares (PLS) methods of regression, were used to test the effects of this MPA. PLS enabled us to test simultaneously within a model, density, species richness, biomass and mean size variables of fish community to retain the most sensitive and relevant ones. Habitat variability was also taken into account in these models. Species were grouped according to several criteria: 1-feeding habit; 2- taxonomy; 3-mobility; 4-adult size; 5-demographic strategy. No significant effect of the opening of the Abore reef to fishing was found for mobility. Feeding habit was the only criterion for which the results from the inferential models and PLS showed a significant effect of reserve status for all variables. Species richness, density, and to a lesser extent mean size, were sensitive to the removal of reserve status. but not biomass. Results from ANOVA and PLS regression were consistent but the latter allows a more holistic approach as it integrates all variables within a single model.
Les Aires Marines Protégées (AMP) sont de plus en plus considérées comme des mesures de gestion alternative permettant à la fois une gestion durable des ressources exploitées et la conservation des écosystèmes. Nous proposons une approche pour définir des indicateurs synthétiques et permettre un diagnostic statistique de l'effet des AMP sur les peuplements. Ce travail passe par le choix de variables pertinentes (abondance, richesse spécifique, paramètres démographiques, etc.) et de méthodes statistiques appropriées. Cette étude a été réalisée sur la réserve du récif Aboré en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Les données issues de deux campagnes scientifiques menées sur ce récif sont utilisées pour tester globalement l'effet des AMP grâce à des modèles linéaires inférentiels (ANOVA, GLM), et par des méthodes de régression PLS (Partial Least Squares). Ces dernières permettent de confronter dans un même modèle quatre variables (densité, richesse, biomasse et taille moyenne des poissons), afin de retenir les plus sensibles et les plus pertinentes pour l'évaluation de l'impact de la réserve. La variabilité de l'habitat est également prise en compte dans la modélisation. Les espèces sont regroupées selon plusieurs critères: 1- le régime alimentaire; 2- la taxonomie; 3- la mobilité; 4- des caractéristiques démographiques; 5- des caractéristiques de taille. Les espèces, quel que soit leur mobilité, n'apparaissent pas affectées par l'ouverture à la pêche du récif Aboré, qu'elles soient sédentaires ou très mobiles. Seul le critère trophique révèle un effet du changement de statut Réserve/Non Réserve pour toutes les variables, à la fois d'après les modèles inférentiels et les régressions PLS. Les résultats des modèles inférentiels et des régressions PLS montrent que la richesse spécifique et la densité sont les variables les plus sensibles à l'impact de l'ouverture à la pêche. La taille moyenne est également bien modélisée sur l'ensemble des résultats mais pas la biomasse. Les résultats d'ANOVA et de régression PLS sont cohérents mais la régression PLS permet d'intégrer toutes les variables dans un même modèle

Résumé : International audience
At Cima di Gagnone, garnet peridotite and chlorite harzburgite lenses within pelitic schists and gneisses correspond to eclogite-facies breakdown products of hydrated peridotites and are suitable for studying dehydration of serpentinized mantle. Thermobarometry and pseudosection modelling yield peak temperatures of 750-850°C and pressures <3 GPa. The minimum temperature recorded by the garnet peridotite corresponds to the maximum conditions experienced by the chlorite harzburgite, suggesting that these rocks recrystallized cofacially at ∼800°C. Alternatively, they might have decoupled during subduction, as achieved in tectonically active plate interface boundaries. The major and rare earth element (REE) variability of the peridotites was mostly acquired during pre-subduction mantle evolution as a result of partial melting and reactive melt flow. The ultramafic suite is also characterized by fluid-mobile element enrichments (B, Pb, As, Sb, Cs, Li, U, Be), which confirm derivation from variably serpentinized protoliths. Similarity in the U, Pb, B, Li and Sr contents of the Gagnone peridotites to present-day oceanic serpentinites suggests that these elements were partly taken up during initial serpentinization by seawater-derived fluids. Positive Be, As and Sb anomalies suggest involvement of fluids equilibrated with crustal (metasedimentary) reservoirs during subsequent subduction metamorphism and peridotite entrainment in (meta)sediments. Fluid-mobile element enrichment characterizes all peak eclogitic minerals, implying that multiple hydration events and element influx pre-dated the eclogite-facies dehydration. Peak anhydrous minerals retain B, Li, As and Sb concentrations exceeding primitive mantle values and may introduce geochemical anomalies into the Earth's mantle. The relatively low contents of large ion lithophile elements and light REE in the Gagnone peridotites with respect to much higher enrichments shown by metasomatized garnet peridotite pods hosted in migmatites (Ulten Zone, Eastern Alps) suggest that the crustal rocks at Gagnone did not experience partial melting. The Gagnone garnet peridotite, despite showing evidence for chlorite dehydration, retains significant amounts of fluid-mobile elements documenting that no partial melting occurred upon chlorite breakdown. We propose that the Gagnone ultramafic rocks represent a prime example of multi-stage peridotite hydration and subsequent dehydration in a plate interface setting.

Résumé : International audience
This study aims to describe current risk management practices and policies across the world in relation to personal exposures from devices emitting radiofrequency fields, environmental exposures from fixed installations and exposures in the work environment. Data from 86 countries representing all WHO regions were collected through a survey. The majority of countries (76.8 %) had set exposure limits for mobile devices, almost all (90.7 %) had set public exposure limits for fixed installations and 76.5 % had specified exposure limits for personnel in occupational settings. A number of other policies had been implemented at the national level, ranging from information provisions on how to reduce personal exposures and restrictions of usage for certain populations, such as children or pregnant women to prevention of access around base stations. This study suggests that countries with higher mobile subscriptions tend to have set radiofrequency exposure limits for mobile devices and to have provisions on exposure measurements about fixed installations.

Résumé : The response of fish assemblages to changes in protection status is a major issue for both biodiversity conservation and fishery management. In New Caledonia, the Abore reef marine reserve harbours more than 500 fish species, and has been subjected to changes in protection status since 1988. The present study investigates the impact of these changes on a wide subset of species (213), based on underwater visual counts collected before the opening and after the closure to fishing of this marine protected area (MPA). We analysed the spatial and temporal variability in fish assemblage attributable to protection status, explicitly considering habitat. To understand the successive responses of fish assemblage to fishing and protection, the assessment models included four criteria de. ning species groups that partition the fish assemblage: trophic regime, adult size, mobility, and interest for fishing. We could therefore identify the negative impact of opening the MPA to fishing on piscivores and highly mobile species. Surprisingly, target species were not affected more than non-target species. Model results were used to identify species groups that respond to fishing and protection. These results utilize fisheries-related criteria to provide new insight into the response of fish assemblages to protection from the perspective of MPA monitoring.

Résumé : International audience
Serpentinites from subduction environments represent an important sink for fluid-mobile elements. In order to constrain geochemical behavior of fluid-mobile elements hosted by serpentine phases during subduction processes, we carried out a geochemical study (trace elements and Pb isotopes) of a series of serpentinites and cumulates from the accretionary wedge of Greater Caribbean (Cuba and Dominican Republic). The trace element compositions of the primary and alteration-related phases were analyzed in situ using LA-HR-ICP-MS techniques. The studied samples represent parts of the subducted proto-Atlantic oceanic lithosphere, which has experienced low to high grade metamorphism (greenschist to eclogite facies), before being exhumed; a subset of these samples were derived from the mantle wedge. This sampling provides the opportunity to trace the chemical mobility of fluid-mobile elements during prograde metamorphism along a cold geotherm in an oceanic subduction setting.

Résumé : International audience
We explore the use of seismic noise produced by rivers to monitor the bed load transport in the case of a low-discharge braided river in the French Alps: the "torrent de St Pierre". For this purpose, we deployed two dedicated seismic networks during summers 2007 and 2008, for which the characteristics of the recorded continuous signal are similar despite changes in the sensor locations. For dry weather conditions, only melting of nearby glaciers controls the supply of water to the stream. In these conditions, the river hydrology and the seismic energy in the 2-80 Hz frequency band both follow a diurnal fluctuation similar to the thermal amplitude. In contrast during rainfall episodes, the temperature variation fails to explain the hydrodynamic changes. Dense cloud covers reduce glacier melting and the recorded seismic energy denotes bursts of high-frequency seismic noise well correlated with water level data. Comparisons between the recorded seismic signals and the collected hydrological and sediment load data indicate that a frequency band of 3-9 Hz best explains the water level changes and thus the seismic waves coming from the flow turbulence. These analyses also reveal the presence of a seismic noise threshold that might be linked to the water shear stress exerted by the flowing water. Using the seismic energy in this frequency band as a proxy of the fluvial shear stress, the seismic-hydrologic relationship may be sensitive to variations in bed load transport. The spectral content of the seismic energy shows patterns consistent with the mobilization of sediment particles. From the interpretations of the seismic wave attenuation of river sources, we finally propose that stations at a distance from the stream less than 50 m are able to record most sediment particles. Farther stations are still useful during extreme events when largest grain sizes are mobilized. More generally this study demonstrates the feasibility of using the river seismic signal to survey bed load transport in various river types from small braided mountain rivers like the "torrent de St Pierre" to the large entrenched Himalayan rivers.

Résumé : Understanding chemical element mobility during high-pressure metamorphism is paramount to the knowledge of the transformations occurring during the course of eclogite-facies metamorphism. In particular, the role of deformation and fluid circulation appear essential. In order to better decipher this role, we investigated two eclogite-facies samples from the Lindas Nappe in the Bergen arcs (Norwegian Caledonides), which are related to a fluid/deformation metamorphic event. This study, based on detailed microtextural investigations, coupled with major and trace element analyses, either in situ EMPA and LA-ICP-MS or by conventional ICP-MS nebulisation on mineral fractions, illustrates the complexity of chemical reactions accompanying the eclogite- and amphibolite-facies metamorphism. A single eclogite-facies mineral species two eclogite-facies (i.e. phengite and epidote) depicts various chemical features depending on its textural location at thin-section scale. The correlation with the mineralogical reaction occurring in each textural site demonstrates that the compositional variations are inherited from the precursor minerals. Thus, the composition of eclogite-facies minerals is locally controlled by the composition of few hundred-micron domains. On the contrary, alteration phases of the amphibolite facies (symplectite and calcic amphibole) display clear enrichment in LILE, Pb, Sr and LREE compared to their precursor minerals (omphacite and garnet). This supports that the transport of elements at hand-sample scale was enhanced during the retrogression and elements were efficiently delocalised from one textural site to another. The contrasting behaviour of element mobility between peak eclogite-facies metamorphism and retrogression can be explained in terms of rate processes and fluid/deformation activity. During eclogitisation,deformation allows the formation of textural and mineralogical microdomains. Contemporaneously the fluid circulation favours the development of heterogeneities by transport of elements in excess towards areas protected from deformation where phengite-bearing quartz lenses crystallise. This, together with the very fast recrystallisation of eclogite-facies minerals, results in a heterogeneous redistribution of elements at sample scale and in a chemical disequilibrium between different microdomains of hundred-micron size. During retrogression in the amphibolite facies, coeval with long-term ductile deformation, the fluids act as an efficient vector to redistribute the elements from a given textural site to another and, thus, allow to reach, at hand-sample scale, a new chemical equilibrium between the different crystallising phases.

Résumé : International audience
Both flow field heterogeneity and mass transfer between mobile and immobile domains have been studied separately for explaining observed anomalous transport. Here we investigate non-Fickian transport using high-resolution 3-D X-ray microtomographic images of Berea sandstone containing microporous cement with pore size below the setup resolution. Transport is computed for a set of representative elementary volumes and results from advection and diffusion in the resolved macroporosity (mobile domain) and diffusion in the microporous phase (immobile domain) where the effective diffusion coefficient is calculated from the measured local porosity using a phenomenological model that includes a porosity threshold ( inline image) below which diffusion is null and the exponent n that characterizes tortuosity-porosity power-law relationship. We show that both flow field heterogeneity and microporosity trigger anomalous transport. Breakthrough curve (BTC) tailing is positively correlated to microporosity volume and mobile-immobile interface area. The sensitivity analysis showed that the BTC tailing increases with the value of inline image, due to the increase of the diffusion path tortuosity until the volume of the microporosity becomes negligible. Furthermore, increasing the value of n leads to an increase in the standard deviation of the distribution of effective diffusion coefficients, which in turn results in an increase of the BTC tailing. Finally, we propose a continuous time random walk upscaled model where the transition time is the sum of independently distributed random variables characterized by specific distributions. It allows modeling a 1-D equivalent macroscopic transport honoring both the control of the flow field heterogeneity and the multirate mass transfer between mobile and immobile domains.

Résumé : International audience
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth and sustain millions of people worldwide.However, coral reefs are temporally dynamic and fragile systems subject to ever increasing disturbancesof anthoropogenic and natural origins. Understanding the patterns and trajectories of changes through time isurgently needed to estimate the resilience of coral reefs. To ascertain these patterns, we depend on the availabilityof long-term datasets, which are seldom available. In this study, we present the data set which allowed us to analysethe long-term trends of coral and fish assemblages for the island of Moorea (French Polynesia) from 1983to 2014, a dataset spanning 32 years, comprising two Acanthaster planci outbreaks (1987 and 2006) and severalhurricanes (1982, 1983, 1991 and 2010), on three permanent monitoring sites (quadrats of 50 × 2 m2) located onboth fringing and barrier reefs as well as on the outer slope. Coral cover oscillated significantly over time, particularlyon the outer slope where it suffered greatly from the effects of A. planci outbreaks and hurricanes. Totalfish and commercial fish abundances varied significantly across the three habitats. Prior to 2000, both total fishand herbivorous fish abundances increased on the barrier reef while after this time, numbers began to drop significantlyalong the outer slope. Species richness for total, commercialized and herbivorous fish increased over thesampling period for all three habitats. There were varied responses amongst species to disturbances on the outerslope over the sampling period: while some tended to disappear for a while before reappearing, others showed apeak in abundance in the middle of the sampling period, and still others increased or decreased continuously orwere stable over time. Our results support the view that coral reefs are highly dynamic systems and that differentfunctional groups show different temporal trajectories. While disturbance is probably the major driver for coralcover dynamics, its impact is less obvious for fish, possibly due to their mobility and population dynamics whichmay mask the effect of disturbance.
Les récifs coralliens sont des systèmes dynamiques et diversifiés régulièrement soumis à des perturbationsnaturelles et anthropiques, sources d’hétérogénéité spatiale et temporelle dans la structure et la dynamique deces communautés d’organismes que sont, entre autres, les poissons et les coraux. Récemment, il a été démontréque les activités humaines pouvaient modifier les régimes naturels de perturbations des récifs coralliens en transformantles événements ponctuels en perturbations persistantes ou en stress chronique, soit en introduisant denouveaux types de perturbations, soit en ajoutant ou altérant certaines perturbations naturelles nécessaires au bonmaintien de la dynamique inhérente aux récifs. Dans cette étude, nous présentons la base de données qui nouspermettra d’analyser les tendances à long-terme des assemblages de poissons et de coraux de l’île de Moorea(Polynésie française) entre 1983 et 2014 sur une période de 32 ans, comprenant deux proliférations d’Acanthasterplanci (1987 et 2006) et plusieurs cyclones (1982, 1983, 1991 et 2010), sur trois sites de suivi permanents(quadrats de 50 × 2 m2) sur les récifs barrière et frangeant ainsi que sur la pente externe. La couverture corallienneprésente de fortes oscillations, en particulier sur la pente externe où elle a répondu fortement à la proliférationd’A. planci et des cyclones. Les abondances des poissons totaux et des poissons commercialisés montrent destendances contrastées sur les trois habitats, avec, plus particulièrement, une augmentation sur le récif barrière etune diminution sur la pente externe après 2000. Ces tendances se retrouvent chez les poissons herbivores dansces deux habitats. La richesse spécifique des poissons totaux, commerciaux et herbivores, augmente de façoncontinue au cours de la période d’étude dans les trois habitats. Des groupes particuliers d’espèces répondentdifféremment aux perturbations de la pente externe au cours du suivi : alors que certaines espèces ont tendanceà disparaître pendant quelques années avant de réapparaître, d’autres présentent un pic en terme d’abondanceen milieu de suivi ; d’autres espèces ont des abondances qui augmentent ou diminuent de façon continue, etd’autres encore montrent des abondances stables. Ceci indique que les récifs coralliens sont des systèmes trèsdynamiques dans lesquels les perturbations naturelles peuvent affecter les espèces de façon différente. Alors quele régime de perturbations naturelles semble être important pour la dynamique de la couverture corallienne danscertains habitats, cela se retrouve beaucoup moins pour les poissons. Cette atténuation des fluctuations spatialeset temporelles peut être due aux aptitudes de dispersion de nombreuses espèces de poissons, capables de chercherun autre habitat favorable en cas de perturbation de l’habitat corallien d’origine.

Résumé : Il s’agit d’étudier la Caraïbe par une approche heuristique qui saisisse l’identité régionale en termes de mouvements, de mobilité, de flux et d’influences en tous genres et non pas simplement de structures statiques. Cette démarche qui dépasse l’observation traditionnelle et étriquée de l’espace sédentaire permet de mieux appréhender les connexions entre unités qui composent la région ainsi que les sphères d’influences et les emboîtements d’échelle qui vont du micro-local au global. Les notions de « mouvement » et de « mouvance » que nous proposons ici de conceptualiser pour penser notre périmètre d’étude dans cette perspective dynamique se situent au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines mais s’inscrivent plus particulièrement dans le champ d’investigation de la Géopolitique.
This paper approaches regional identity in the Caribbean in heuristic terms that imply the paradigms of movement, mobility, flux and diverse influences that are not limited to frame of fixed parameters. Our rationale consists in going beyond the traditional observation of a sedentary space, in order to better our perception of the connexions that join the different units composing the region, and apprehend the spheres of influence or scales of inclusion that range from micro-local to global. The notions of “movement” and “mouvance” that we suggest conceptualizing here in order to apprehend our object in a dynamic way, even though linked with a transdisciplinary approach, derive their validity from the inscription in the field of Geopolitics.

Résumé : A l’aube du XXIème siècle, l’enjeu pour la Martinique est de construire un modèle de développement endogène qui nécessite son intégration dans la Caraïbe. Un consensus existe pour cette orientation, tant au niveau des acteurs économiques que des gouvernances locales et nationales. Mais qu’en pense la population ? Sur le plan diplomatique, cette orientation se concrétise par une adhésion progressive de la Martinique aux différentes organisations communautaires caribéennes en qualité de membre à part entière. Toutes ces avancées s’opèrent dans un contexte socio-économique qui se caractérise pour la Martinique par une population en voie de vieillissement, un chômage structurel et un départ du territoire des jeunes diplômés. Dans cette perspective, le développement des échanges avec la Caraïbe va induire des flux matériels et immatériels, et pour les Martiniquais, des perspectives d’insertion professionnelle dans des pays de la Caraïbe qui ont des taux de chômage plus cléments. Ces éléments de contexte interrogent l’évolution de la société Martiniquaise dans un nouveau paysage international, qui va au-delà des accords politiques et diplomatiques, car il va induire des rencontres entre individus de culture et de pratiques professionnelles différentes, directement ou indirectement, matérialisées ou dématérialisées. Cette étude s’intéresse au point de vue des individus, au regard qu’ils portent sur ce qu’il convient de considérer comme un projet de société et aux moyens qu’ils ont d’y contribuer. Elle s’inscrit dans la perspective du développement de la mobilité professionnelle des Martiniquais dans la Caraïbe et elle fait des propositions sur les conditions de sa mise en œuvre. Elle interroge l’environnement dans lequel s’opèrent aujourd’hui les projets de mobilité professionnelle à l’international des Martiniquais et les représentations sociales qui sont en marche dans ce nouveau paradigme. Comment le Martiniquais peut-il devenir un citoyen caribéen sur un marché du travail élargi aux pays du bassin caribéen ?
At the turn of the century, the challenge for Martinique is to build a model of endogenous development that requires its integration in the Caribbean. There is consensus for this approach, both in terms of economic actors as local and national governance. But what the people think? On the diplomatic front, this orientation is reflected by a gradual accession of Martinique to different Caribbean community organizations as a full member. All these developments are taking place in a socioeconomic context characterized for Martinique by a population in the process of aging, structural unemployment, and a departure from the territory of graduates. In this perspective, the development of trade with the Caribbean will induce the material and immaterial flows and for Martinique, perspectives employability in Caribbean countries with more lenient unemployment. These contextual elements questioning the evolution of Martinican society in a new international landscape that goes beyond political and diplomatic agreements, as it will lead to encounters between individuals of different cultures and business practices, directly or indirectly, materialized or dematerialized. This study focuses on the perspective of individuals and the way they look at what should be regarded as a social project and how they contribute. It is part of a perspective of the development of professional mobility of Martinique in the Caribbean and on the conditions for its implementation. She questions the environment in which today operate occupational mobility projects internationally Martinicans and social representations that are running in this new paradigm. How can the Caribbean Martinique become a citizen on the broader labor market to the countries of the Caribbean basin?

Résumé : International audience
Microbial pollution in aquatic environments is one of the crucial issues with regard to the sanitary state of water bodies used for drinking water supply, recreational activities and harvesting seafood due to a potential contamination by pathogenic bacteria, protozoa or viruses. To address this risk, microbial contamination monitoring is usually assessed by turbidity measurements performed at drinking water plants. Some recent studies have shown significant correlations of microbial contamination with the risk of endemic gastroenteresis. However the relevance of turbidimetry may be limited since the presence of colloids in water creates interferences with the nephelometric response. Thus there is a need for a more relevant, simple and fast indicator for microbial contamination detection in water, especially in the perspective of climate change with the increase of heavy rainfall events. This review focuses on the one hand on sources, fate and behavior of microorganisms in water and factors influencing pathogens' presence, transportation and mobilization, and on the second hand, on the existing optical methods used for monitoring microbiological risks. Finally, this paper proposes new ways of research.

Résumé : International audience
The 40Ar/39Ar geochronological technique has significantly contributed to the study of crustal deformation. However, the frequent occurrence of extraneous argon in high-pressure terrains can make the interpretation of 40Ar/39Ar ages problematic. This contribution attempts to: i) characterize the distribution and origin of extraneous argon in the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU, Greece) by applying the 40Ar/39Ar dating technique on three Cycladic islands, Syros, Tinos and Ios, which span a complete transect of the CBU and ii) discuss regional implications for the tectonometamorphic evolution of the CBU. Our results, combined with ages available in the literature, show that periods of peak-burial conditions (55–49 Ma) and syn- (45–38 Ma) to post-orogenic exhumation (37–21 Ma) are well constrained in the CBU by the 40Ar/39Ar method. Moreover, Variscan apparent ages are preserved in the Cycladic basement of Ios, indicating that the 40Ar/39Ar system was not completely reset during the Eocene metamorphic episode. Additionally, our 40Ar/39Ar data show that the occurrence of extraneous argon is heterogeneously distributed in the CBU. While high-pressure rocks of Syros and Tinos are only locally affected, extraneous argon is clearly evidenced in the CBU of Ios, yielding geologically meaningless ages up to 900 Ma. On each island, the most affected ages were obtained in microstructures where fluid circulation is enhanced such as shear bands or strain shadows around garnets. We suggest that the Cycladic Basement, a polymetamorphic continental unit, behaved as an argon reservoir that has been mobilized by fluid circulation at the Eocene. These argon-enriched fluids have then heterogeneously contaminated metamorphic rocks when percolating through the CBU. Finally, we claim that a minimum closure temperature of 550 °C must be accepted for the phengites of the CBU and conclude that volume diffusion is not the main process resetting the argon isotopic system in high-pressure rocks compare to recrystallization enhanced by fluid circulation and deformation.

Résumé : International audience
This study addresses the mechanical and chemical behavior of allanite during shear zone formation under high-pressure metamorphism. Understanding physico-chemical processes related to the retention or resetting of Pb isotopes in allanite during geological processes is essential for robust petrochronology. Dating of allanite in meta-granodiorite showing variable amounts of strain (from an undeformed protolith to mylonite) at Monte Mucrone (Sesia Zone, NW Italy) gave surprising results. Based on structural and petrographic observations the shear zones at Mt Mucrone are Alpine, yet allanite located within an eclogite facies mylonite yielded Permian ages (208Pb/232Th average age: 287 ± 7 Ma). These mm-sized allanite grains are rimmed by an aggregate of coarse-grained garnet + phengite, thought to derive from former epidote. These aggregates were immersed in a weak matrix that experienced granular flow, and they were thus chemically and mechanically shielded during Alpine mylonitization. In undeformed samples (8a and 8b), two populations of epidote group minerals were found. Allanite forms either coronas around Permian monazite or individual grains with patchy zoning. Both types yield Permian ages (208Pb/232Th age: 291 ± 5 Ma). On the other hand, grains of REE-rich clinozoisite of Cretaceous age are found in undeformed rocks. These grains appear as small fragments with embayed surface outlines and minute satellites or rims around Permian allanite. These (re)crystallized grains are Sr-rich and show mosaic zoning. These results indicate that allanite crystals retained their chemical and isotopic characteristics, and thus their Permian age, as a result of strong strain partitioning between the epidote group porphyroclasts and the eclogite facies matrix in HP-mylonites. The observed partial mobilization of Pb isotopes, which lead to the Cretaceous-aged rims or grains in undeformed samples was facilitated by (re)crystallization of allanite and not by mere Pb diffusion alone under the HP conditions.

Résumé : International audience
The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction and characterization of lycopene, a carotenoid, from a tropical fruit, Psidium guajava L. and to demonstrate its health benefits. Deionised water, mixed with organic solvents, was used for extraction, and the depletion stage was reached in order to define the number of extractions needed to extract most of the lycopene. Optimum extraction was achieved with petroleum ether combined with guava puree:deionised water ratio of 40% using 15 ml of water. Four extractions were a satisfactory compromise to maximize the amount of lycopene recovered and to minimize the use of organic solvent. Excellent purification of lycopene was obtained by HPLC-VIS detection (470 nm) with acetonitrile/methanol/tetrahydrofuran mobile phase. Characterization was confirmed by FTIR analysis. A modification of the DPPH test made it possible to assess the EC50, thereby ranking lycopene among good antioxidants. As Psidium guajava is already widely used in the food industry, these results support claims for health benefits for products derived from guava.
