Résumé : The subject of this study is to examine the operation and implications of the system of licenses for bottom trawling implemented in the French Mediterranean, this compared with the context of fishing in this area during the last twenty years. The study begins with a review and assessment of the evaluation criteria proposed in the economic literature. This review of the literature is done to find an approach for analysing licensing systems. The study then recounts the main stages of the implementation of the licensing system for trawling in the Mediterranean as well as the context of fishing. After a description of the licensing system and a reminder of the objectives and arguments defended by the various participating groups, the study examines its operation as well as some of its consequences. These latter are captured as much by comparing the criteria from the theory as the objectives pursued. In conclusion, the study brings out the lessons and perspectives of the licensing system. The reader wishing to have a detailed analysis of the economic evolution of trawling in the French Mediterranean can refer specifically to the work of MEURIOT and DREMIERE (1986) meant to round out this study.
L'objet de cette étude est d'examiner le fonctionnement et les implications du système de licences au chalutage de fond mis en place en Méditerranée française, ceci en regard du contexte de la pêche dans cette zone au cours des vingt dernières années. L'étude commence par une revue et appréciation des critères d'évaluation proposés dans la littérature économique. Cette revue de la littérature est destinée à dégager une approche permettant d'analyser un système de licences. L'étude retrace ensuite les principales étapes de la mise en place du système de licences au chalut en Méditérranée ainsi que le contexte des pêches. Après une description du système de licences et un rappel des objectifs et arguments défendus par les différents groupes intervenants, l'étude examine son fonctionnement ainsi que certaines de ses conséquences. Celles-ci sont appréhendées tant en regard des critères issus de la théorie, que des objectifs poursuivis. En conclusion, l'étude dégage les enseignements et perspectives du système de licence. Le lecteur désirant avoir une analyse détaillée de l'évolution économique du chalutage en Méditerranée française peut se reporter en particulier au travail de MEURIOT et DREMIERE (1986) destiné à compléter la présente étude.

Résumé : International audience
The anisotropy of vibrational properties influences the acoustic behaviour of wooden pieces and their dependence on grain angle (GA). As most pieces of wood include some GA, either for technological reasons or due to grain deviations inside trunks, predicting its repercussions would be useful. This paper aims at evaluating the variability in the anisotropy of wood vibrational properties and analysing resulting trends as a function of orientation. GA dependence is described by a model based on transformation formulas applied to complex compliances, and literature data on anisotropic vibrational properties are reviewed. Ranges of variability, as well as representative sets of viscoelastic anisotropic parameters, are defined for mean hardwoods and softwoods and for contrasted wood types. GA-dependence calculations are in close agreement with published experimental results and allow comparing the sensitivity of different woods to GA. Calculated trends in damping coefficient (tanδ) and in specific modulus of elasticity (E′/ρ) allow reconstructing the general tanδ-E′/ρ statistical relationships previously reported. Trends for woods with different mechanical parameters merge into a single curve if anisotropic ratios (both elastic and of damping) are correlated between them, and with axial properties, as is indicated by the collected data. On the other hand, varying damping coefficient independently results in parallel curves, which coincide with observations on chemically modified woods, either “artificially”, or by natural extractives.

Résumé : Seven new fish species have been found so far on the Pacific and Atlantic hydrothermal vents: the synaphobranchid Thermobiotes mytilogeiton; the zoarcid Thermarces cerberus and Pachycara thermophilum; the bythitid Bythites hollisi; the cyclopterid Careproctus hyaleius; one zoarcid fish; and one ophidiid fish. The characteristics of the 70 specimens collected, and their location in French and American museums, are listed. The results and observations made on vent fishes and fishes living around the periphery of the vents observed during recent dives (especially along the East Pacific Rise between 17 and 19 degrees S, the North Fiji Basin Rise and the Mid Atlantic Rise) are summarized. Previous literature on vent fishes is reviewed.

Résumé : This paper presents a collection of wood species with important uses in musical instruments, in reference to historical and geographical cultural specificities, with ranges of viscoelastic vibrational properties by species. Data combine our experimental characterizations and extensive literature review, gathered in a specific relational database. An overview of vibrational properties' distribution on c.400 species is introduced. Two case studies of wood choices for a given function in different epochs or regions are presented: woods for European historical bows, and woods for idiophone bodies in different continents. Trends are contrasted: very different properties associated to historical changes in the first case; some common features over different regions in the second one.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUNDA very large proportion of the literature on the endocrine disruptors categorized as anti-androgens deals with phthalates, which are produced in large amounts for use as plastic emollients and additives. In this review, we bring together and analyse work on the effects of phthalates in animals and humans at different stages of their development to assess whether or not their possible anti-androgenic properties represent a significant threat to human health.METHODSThe database PubMed was systematically searched for all English language articles until July 2013 in each subject area discussed.RESULTSWe provide an up-to-date exhaustive, comparative and critical assessment of both in vivo and in vitro studies undertaken to explore the effects of phthalates on the human testis from fetal life to adulthood. These results are compared and discussed in the light of the key data reported in the literature for mice and rats.CONCLUSIONSThe current literature highlights the fact that (i) there is a huge difference between the number of studies performed in animals and in humans, with many fewer for humans; (ii) there are differences in the way rats, mice, primates and humans respond to phthalates, for reasons that need to be further explored; (iii) more work is required to clarify the contradictions, in the few existing human epidemiological studies at all stages of development, which may be partly explained by varying methods of exposure assessment; (iv) in accordance with recent findings in rodents, it cannot be excluded that transgenerational effects of phthalates and/or epigenetic changes exist in humans; (v) a number of methodological limitations need to be solved for the in vitro and xenografting models using human fetal testis to fulfil their 'missing link' role between epidemiological studies in humans and rodent models; and (vi) epidemiological and in vitro studies generally converge sufficiently to conclude that phthalate anti-androgenicity is plausible in adult men.

Résumé : Publié en septembre 2013 dans le "Journal de Gynécologie Obstétrique et Biologie de la Reproduction" vol.42 n°5 p.413-444
We review the epidemiological literature on the possible impact of chemical and physical factors on pregnancy outcome. Effects of in-utero exposures on child health are not considered here. The highest levels of evidence concern the effects of passive smoking (on fetal growth), of lead (pregnancy-induced hypertension, fetal growth), of some Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB; on fetal growth) and, to a lesser extent, of atmospheric pollutants (on fetal growth and preterm delivery). For the other compounds, in particular non-persistent chemicals, the literature, which is generally based on poor exposure assessment, is less informative. In conclusion, the last decades have witnessed the development of mother-child cohorts in which exposure biomarkers have been assayed, allowing a large number of publications. For some persistent compounds, for which efficient exposure assessment approaches have been used, the literature indicates a likely impact on pregnancy outcomes. With the exception of air pollutants, the literature on non-persistent compounds is little conclusive; the assay of exposure biomarkers in repeated biological samples collected at relevant time points could help further increase knowledge regarding any health impact.

Résumé : International audience
Introduction Adverse effect of environmental exposures on the pregnancy is now clearly stated in the literature. Chemical, biological, or physical agents are susceptible to influence the onset of the pregnancy, as well as the fetal development. This paper aims to summarize basic knowledge on the topic. Methods A literature review was conducted based on a targeted search on the Medline database. Results Literature data suggested increased risk of congenital malformation, fetal growth, or impaired neurodevelopment. Adverse environmental effects can be observed during the pregnancy, at birth, during the childhood, during the adulthood, and possibly on the next generation. Discussion Prevention tools can be used to limit several domestic, occupational or lifestyle exposures. While emphasizing the importance of the prevention, it is necessary to remind to pregnant women that frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes remain uncommon, considering the systematic exposures to a large panel of reprotoxicants. © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS

Résumé : Una introducción a la seguridad turística requiere que nos ocupemos de una revisión bibliográfica. Ciertamente, los planes y los manuales parecen no traducirse en protocolos en momentos de emergencia. Ello sucede pues siempre un estado de emergencia se escapa de toda planificación pero también suele suceder por la falta de definiciones claras respecto a que es la seguridad. En este ensayo, discutiremos los paradigmas y tesis centrales de tres exponentes que han dedicado su vida a dicha tarea. Sevil Somnez, Abraham Pizam y Peter Tarlow han explorado las raíces del terrorismo y la seguridad por más de 20 años, y por eso, a pesar de la crítica, merecen su reconocimiento. La mejor forma de homenajearlos es discutir críticamente sus postulados. Con sus puntos de divergencia, los especialistas se encuentran preocupados por la dependencia occidental del terrorismo con los medios masivos de comunicación, aspecto a discutir en el presente trabajo de revisión.
Une introduction à la sécurité touristique nécessite un examen bibliographique. Certainement, les plans et les manuels semblent ne pas être traduits dans des protocoles de moments de secours. Il s’agit donc toujours d’état d'urgence confronté à l’évènement, sans planification et sans définitions claires de ce qu’est la sécurité. Dans cet essai, nous discuterons les paradigmes et les thèses centrales de trois auteurs qui ont consacré leur vie à la tâche mentionnée ci-dessus. Sevil Somnez, Abraham Pizam et Peter Tarlow ont exploré les racines du terrorisme et la sécurité pendant plus de 20 ans et pour cela, en dépit de la critique, ils méritent notre reconnaissance. La meilleure façon de leur rendre hommage est de discuter de manière critique de leurs postulats. Au-delà de leurs divergences, les spécialistes s’inquiètent de la dépendance occidentale au terrorisme sous le poids des mass-médias, aspect qu’il convient de discuter dans le présent travail de révision.
The specialized literature review is of paramount importance at time of exploring the current problems of tourism security. Certainly, plans and policies provided by guide-books are not being followed in disaster-contests simply chaos and disorder are the nature of emergencies. Beyond any protocol, crises and security are not properly defined by scholars. In this essay-review, we will not pay attention to define what tourism security means, lest by the lens of three senior scholars, Sevil Somnez, Abraham Pizam and Peter Tarlow, who have accomplished this task. They have explored not only the roots of terrorism but security over 20 years. Despite the criticism, they deserve recognition for this legacy. Based on substantial point of divergence, these specialists are concerned by the financial dependency of societies respecting to mass-media and its coverage of terrorist attacks.

Résumé : International audience
The published literature related to distributed parameter systems theory is quite large, and it is not feasible in a single book to give a detailed review on the wide historical development of all of it. Our choice of what to cover was motivated by the following consideration. Since distributed parameter systems evolve in time and space, the research investigations on their analysis and control focus on considering the whole system domain for any study. We feel strongly that within this research field, animportant consideration was missing; that of considering that the system may give raise to prescribed subdomains (regions) where one has to achieve an objective. This is the case of so many applications ranging from engineering to life sciences. For that reason, covering classical prerequisite in analysis and control areas, we have devoted the book to the extension of the classical distributed parameter results to regional ones.Students of mathematics do not come into contacts with distributed parameter systems during their classes. They are introduced to them when they start research and often they are influenced by the knowledge and the advice of experimented scientists. This was our case at the very beginning of these research investigations in the mid 70’s. We would liketo express our special thanks to many of them and mainly late Professor Anthony J. Pritchard (University of Warwick, GB) and late Professor J.L. Lions (College de France) who were so encouraging in front of our determination in driving an academic carrier. We also express our thanks to our co-workers and research students. We wish to acknowledge the feedback from all those who took courses based on various parts of this book.This book may be used by graduate students in mathematics, engineering, physics, and even by students from other fields such as life or environmental sciences. This book may also be used as an information source for researchers and education professionals. We assume that the readers already know the basic concepts of analysis and control of distributedparameter systems.

Résumé : For ecology scientists, spatial statistics are a set of tools allowing characterization of the structure of a point set, for instance a map of trees in a forest plot. This structure is defined implicitly as a departure from complete spatial randomness (CSR), the result of a Poisson point process. Inhomogeneity of the process and non-independence of points are its causes. As they cannot be disentangled by analyzing the data, so-called "spatial concentration" or "aggregation" (evenness due to repulsion also exists but is actually rare) usually concerns non-independence while intensity is assumed as known. The literature of point processes and measures of spatial structures is reviewed to clarify concepts and choices. The purpose of this thesis was to produce methodological enhancements. Its main results are: * A test for the most used statistic, Ripley's K function, against the null hypothesis of CSR. It can replace Monte-Carlo simulations used until now in the literature. * An extension of K to inhomogeneous processes, within a typology of available statistics (absolute, relative and topographic measures). When data is available as number of objects per zones (say a number of tree in each forest plot) rather than their exact position, information theory is used to define a general framework allowing to characterize spatial structure (of species) and diversity (of plots) as two aspects of a single measure of inequality. This framework is applied to Shannon's index of biodiversity to derive a self-sufficient definition of beta diversity, its calculation independently from the difference between gamma and alpha diversity, and a statistical test of significance against the null hypothesis that plots are samples of the same community. The way is paved for other applications to measures of diversity and spatial structures. As a conclusion, it appears clear that pattern characterization tools are a first step to deal with ecological questionings. Their development is still a matter of research. Yet, they are far from sufficient to address ecological processes as point processes ignore the temporal aspect of object locations.
Les statistiques spatiales sont pour les écologues un ensemble d'outils permettant de caractériser la structure d'un semis de points, par exemple une carte représentant des emplacements des arbres dans une parcelle de forêt. Cette structure est définie implicitement comme un écart à semis complètement aléatoire, résultat d'un processus de Poisson. L'hétérogénéité du processus ponctuel dont le semis de points est une réalisation et la non-indépendance des points en sont les causes indiscernables, ce qui amène généralement à supposer l'intensité du processus connu et nommer " concentration spatiale " ou " agrégation " (la régularité spatiale est possible, mais rare en pratique) la non-indépendance. Une revue de la littérature des processus ponctuels et des mesures de structures spatiales est fournie pour clarifier les concepts et les choix. L'objectif de ce travail de thèse était de produire des améliorations méthodologiques. Ses résultats principaux sont : * L'établissement d'un test pour la principale statistique utilisée, la fonction K de Ripley, permettant de s'affranchir de la méthode de Monte-Carlo utilisée dans la littérature pour rejeter l'hypothèse nulle d'un processus complètement aléatoire. * L'extension de K aux processus hétérogènes, dans le cadre d'une typologie claire des statistiques (absolues, relatives, topographiques). Lorsque la position exacte des objets n'est pas connue, mais que des effectifs par zone sont disponibles (par exemple des nombres d'arbres par parcelle), la théorie de l'information est utilisée pour définir un cadre général permettant de caractériser la structure spatiale (des espèces dans les parcelles) et la diversité (des parcelles, en termes d'espèces) comme deux aspects d'une même mesure d'inégalité. Ce cadre est appliqué à l'indice de biodiversité de Shannon pour définir clairement la mesure de diversité bêta, son calcul direct indépendamment de la différence entre diversités gamma et alpha, et fournir un test statistique de non nullité. La voie est ouverte pour l'application à d'autres mesures de diversité et de structure spatiale. En conclusion, il semble clair que ces outils de caractérisation sont un premier pas pour traiter les questions écologiques, leur développement étant toujours du domaine de la recherche. Ils sont cependant très insuffisants pour répondre à des questions liées aux processus écologiques, assez éloignés des processus ponctuels qui ignorent l'aspect temporel de l'installation des objets.

Résumé : National audience
Since the 1950s, Friedman's curves served as reference to guide obstetrical practice around the world. However, recent studies have suggested guidelines based on Freidman's results were too stringent and induce inappropriate and excessive interventionism. The committee aimed to redefine the structure and the normal duration of the labor, as well as the criterion to be fulfilled to consider a labor as abnormal. Several recommendations have been produced based on a systematic literature review. Labor dystocia should not be diagnosed during the latency phase. The beginning of the active phase of the 1st stage of labor has been established between 5 and 6 cm of cervical dilatation, which is later than previously suggested. Rate of cervical dilatation is considered as abnormal below 1 cm per 4 hour during the first part of the active phase, and blow 1 cm per 2 hour above 7 cm of dilatation. A maximum duration for the 2nd stage of labor cannot be defined in the French context, based on the literature. However, exceeding 3 hours, the risk-benefit balance becomes less beneficial. These new guidelines would help to reduce the use of oxytocin and caesarian delivery for labor dystocia. © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS

Résumé : International audience
Background: Health care workers (HCWs) are occupationally exposed to various hazards, some associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in previous reviews. This systematic review aims at synthesizing the recent literature on occupational exposures among HCWs related to fetal death, congenital anomalies, and fertility disorders. Methods: We searched the Medline database from 2000 to 2015 for articles about all potential occupational exposures of women and men working in this sector. Results: We retained 32 studies, most of them (n = 30) among women HCWs. Studies based on job title reported excess risks of some congenital anomalies (especially nervous and musculoskeletal systems) among HCWs compared to non-HCWs but no evidence about fetal death. Excess risks associated with specific exposures includes reports of some congenital anomalies forwomenexposed to anesthetic gases. Exposure to some sterilizing agents and, with less evidence, to antineoplastic drugs and to ionizing radiation, is associated with increased risks of miscarriage but not stillbirth. Strenuous work schedules appear to be associated with fertility disorders, but the evidence is limited. Only a few studies have been published since 2000 about non-ionizing radiation, or about fertility disorders related to chemical or physical agents, or about male HCWs. Conclusions: Despite the establishment of recommendations to limit exposures of HCWs, some excess risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes are still reported and need to be explained.

Millimetre waves correspond to the range of frequencies located between 30 and 300 GHz. Many applications exist and are emerging in this band, including wireless telecommunications, imaging and monitoring systems. In addition, some of these frequencies are used in therapy in Eastern Europe, suggesting that interactions with the human body are possible. This review aims to summarise current knowledge on interactions between millimetre waves and living matter. Several representative examples from the scientific literature are presented. Then, possible mechanisms of interactions between millimetre waves and biological systems are discussed.

Résumé : International audience
Some morphological and biochemical taxonomic markers are also affecting factors of dynamic mechanical properties of wood. Thus, could these properties reflect the classification/phylogeny of taxa? This work is a first insight into this question. It relied on the gathering (through experimental campaigns and exhaustive literature review) of a large database on the viscoelastic (i.e. including damping) vibrational properties of 445 woody species. relationship between damping was confirmed at a wide interspecific scale, but described no more than 40% of not in a way that could be easily related to the phylogenetic tree. Damping was a bit more -Papilionoideae and, to a lesser extent, Lauraceae, Cupressaceae and Moraceae) damping than average, independently While for some other families no clear characteristics could be observed at least with the present number of represented species. In the future, increasing the amount of data and compiling anatomical and chemical markers / affecting factors will allow further analysis at sub-family levels, and a better understanding of this wide topic.

Résumé : It is estimated that fish aggregating devices (FADs) are now used for over 40% of world tropical tuna catches, making this technique a major phenomenon for high seas fisheries worldwide, and one that has experienced great expansion over the past three decades. The question of whether the FAD is a good or a bad tool for the exploitation of marine resources depends on many parameters. To respond to this question, it is necessary to distinguish different scales of exploitation (artisanal vs. industrial) and various types of FADs (anchored vs. drifting), but it is also very important to gather more data and conduct further research on this topic to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon and of its impacts. As such, twelve years after the first international conference devoted to FADs, which was held in Martinique (French West Indies), a new multi-scalar global assessment of FAD fisheries development and a review of the progress of research in this field was deemed vital. The latest international conference, "Tuna Fisheries and Fish Aggregating Devices", was held in Tahiti in November 2011, and it was an event that welcomed nearly 150 conference attendees from 40 different countries, three ocean regions, and the Mediterranean. This is an analysis of the relevant literature gathered by the author in the bibliographic database FADBASE. Then, the major issues already addressed by the scientific community are set out, and gaps and research priorities are highlighted for anchored and drifting FADs management.

Résumé : International audience
The scientific literature about AIDS and physical exercise has been traditionally dominated by biomedical approaches. The first studies which were published in the beginning of the nineties focused mainly on the transmission risks of the virus during sports. Later studies were concerned with the physiological logics of the exercise on HIV-positive persons. Since the end of the nineties the therapeutic progress contributed to envisage sport as a way to mediate the side effects of medical treatments. However the present review highlights a serious gap in the literature on Sport and HIV using a sociological point of view. The authors of this article argue that the time has come to consider sociological data linked to the experiences of HIV/AIDS in order to understand the difficulties and barriers that seropositive persons have to face when participating in sport.

PURPOSE: Multiple myeloma, a hematological malignancy generally affecting elderly people, was diagnosed at the beginning of the pregnancy of a 33-year-old woman. We carried out a literature review in order to evaluate the consequences of this cancer on pregnancy and of pregnancy on multiple myeloma, as to determine the specific follow-up required. METHODS: A systematic search for articles of interest published between 1949 and 16 November 2010 was performed in MEDLINE, SCOPUS and EMBASE, using the words "multiple myeloma" and "pregnancy". We identified 398 publications of potential interest, 20 of which were selected and included in the analysis. RESULTS: The selected articles included 26 cases. No specific risk factors were identified in pregnant women. The most common presentations were bone pain and/or anemia, as in the general population. Pregnancy seemed to have no effect on multiple myeloma progression. Most pregnancies went to term, with only two medical terminations and six cesareans performed before term, due to the severity of the cancer. No effect of the cancer or its treatment by chemotherapy during pregnancy was found in the children. CONCLUSION: Pregnancy does not seem to be contraindicated in women with multiple myeloma. Nevertheless, the management of pregnant patients with multiple myeloma is a diagnostic, therapeutic and social challenge, requiring a multidisciplinary approach and regular follow-up. Decisions should be taken based on the severity of the disease, its prognosis and maternal choice.

The anisotropy of vibrational properties influences the acoustic behaviour of wooden pieces and their dependence on grain angle (GA). As most pieces of wood include some GA, either for technological reasons or due to grain deviations inside trunks, predicting its repercussions would be useful. This paper aims at evaluating the variability in the anisotropy of wood vibrational properties and analysing resulting trends as a function of orientation. GA dependence is described by a model based on transformation formulas applied to complex compliances, and literature data on anisotropic vibrational properties are reviewed. Ranges of variability, as well as representative sets of viscoelastic anisotropic parameters, are defined for mean hardwoods and softwoods and for contrasted wood types. GA-dependence calculations are in close agreement with published experimental results and allow comparing the sensitivity of different woods to GA. Calculated trends in damping coefficient (tanδ) and in specific modulus of elasticity (E′/ρ) allow reconstructing the general tanδ-E′/ρ statistical relationships previously reported. Trends for woods with different mechanical parameters merge into a single curve if anisotropic ratios (both elastic and of damping) are correlated between them, and with axial properties, as is indicated by the collected data. On the other hand, varying damping coefficient independently results in parallel curves, which coincide with observations on chemically modified woods, either "artificially", or by natural extractives.
