Résumé : International audience
Pen-based interfaces allow users to interact with the help of a stylus and/or fingers. Thanks to a recognition system, users can execute commands by drawing gestures. Because of the complexity of the software, the set of gesture commands can be very large. Consequently, it becomes difficult for the users to remember all the commands. In this paper we introduce "Semicustomizable gestural commands". The idea is to take into account the commands usage frequency: to facilitate the memorization of the most used commands we leave users the freedom/liberty to define their associated gestures (by) themselves. The remaining gesture commands will be automatically generated on the base of the defined gestures according to their hierarchical categorization. Several comparative tests demonstrate that this new approach improved the progressive memorization of the gestural commands.

Résumé : International audience
Chlordecone is a persistent organochlorine pesticide that was used in the French West Indies until the early 1990s for banana weevil borer control. Human exposure to this chemical in this area still occurs nowadays due to consumption of contaminated food. Although adverse effects on neurodevelopment, including tremors and memory deficits, have been documented in experimental studies conducted with rodents exposed during the gestational and neonatal periods, no study has been conducted yet to determine if chlordecone alters child development. This study examines the relation of gestational and postnatal exposure to chlordecone to infant development at 18 months of age in a birth-cohort of Guadeloupean children. In a prospective longitudinal study conducted in Guadeloupe (Timoun mother-child cohort study), exposure to chlordecone was measured at birth from an umbilical cord blood sample (n=141) and from a breast milk sample collected at 3 months postpartum (n=75). Toddlers were assessed using an adapted version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Higher chlordecone concentrations in cord blood were associated with poorer fine motor scores. When analyses were conducted separately for boys and girls, this effect was only observed among boys. These results suggest that prenatal exposure to chlordecone is associated with specific impairments in fine motor function in boys, and add to the growing evidence that exposure to organochlorine pesticides early in life impairs child development.

Résumé : International audience
A hallmark of living systems is the management and the storage of information through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Although the notion of epigenetics was originally given to any regulation beyond DNA sequence, it has often been restricted to chromatin modifications, supposed to behave as cis-markers, specifying the sets of genes to be expressed or repressed. This definition does not take into account the initial view of epigenetics, based on nonlinear interaction networks whose "attractors" can remain stable without need for any chromatin mark. In addition, most chromatin modifications are the steady state resultants of highly dynamic modification and de-modification activities and, as such, seem poorly appropriate to work as long-term memory keepers. Instead, the basic support of epigenetic memory could remain the attractors, to which chromatin modifications belong as do many other components. The influence of chromatin modifications in memory is highly questionable when envisioned as static structural marks, but can be recovered under the dynamic circuitry perspective, thanks to their self-templating properties. Beside their standard repressive or permissive functions, chromatin modifications can also influence transcription in multiple ways such as: (1) by randomizing or inversely stabilizing gene expression, (2) by mediating cooperativity between pioneer and secondary transcription factors, and (3) in the hysteresis and the ultrasensitivity of gene expression switches, allowing the cells to take unambiguous transcriptional decisions.

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.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Several studies suggest that exposure to organophosphate insecticides (OP) during pregnancy impairs neurodevelopment in children. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated associations between biomarkers of prenatal and postnatal OP exposure and cognitive function of 6-year-olds in a French longitudinal birth cohort. METHODS: In 2002-2006, the PELAGIE mother-child cohort enrolled pregnant women from Brittany. For a random subcohort, we measured nonspecific dialkylphosphate metabolites (DAP) of OP in one maternal urine sample, collected before 19 weeks' gestation, and in one urine sample collected from their 6-year-old children. Six subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-4th edition (WISC-IV) was administered at 6 years to evaluate cognitive function (n=231). Linear regression models controlling for factors including maternal intelligence and the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment score were used. RESULTS: WISC-IV scores were not significantly associated with prenatal or childhood total DAP metabolites. WISC verbal comprehension score was significantly higher in association with the highest maternal urinary concentrations of diethylphosphate metabolites (DE) (5.5; 95% CI: 0.8, 10.3 for extgreater 13.2 nmol/L versus extlessLOQ), while WISC working memory score was significantly lower in association with the highest urinary concentrations of DE metabolites at age 6 years (-3.6; 95% CI: -7.8, -0.6 for extgreater 11.1 nmol/L versus extlessLOD). CONCLUSION: This study found no evidence that prenatal OP exposure adversely affected cognitive function in 6-year-olds, perhaps because of the higher population's socioeconomic status than in previous studies though other causal and non-causal explanations are also possible. The negative association between WISC score and concurrent DE urinary concentrations requires replication by longitudinal studies investigating childhood OP exposure

Extrait de : "L'apprentissage scolaire" : journée d'étude, le 11 mars 2015. Université des Antilles et de la Guyane
Description : La réussite des élèves passe par la prise en compte de leurs centres d'intérêts et de leurs préoccupations. Ainsi, le sentiment d'autodétermination et le sentiment de compétence sont de puissants déclencheurs de la motivation; or, un élève motivé est un élève qui aura tendance à être plus attentif. Une fois que l'on a suscité l'intérêt, il importe également de s'attacher à diversifier les supports de communication en s'adaptant aux profils cognitifs de sa classe. En effet, certains élèves sont plus à l'aise avec les informations visuelles, verbales ou tactiles/kinesthésiques. Le fait de reformuler en sollicitant l'ensemble des canaux de traitement de l'information participe grandement à une meilleure compréhension et une meilleure mémorisation des enseignements. De manière générale, il importe de créer un climat de classe motivant et sécurisant.
