History of chemical weeding from 1944 to 2011 in France: Changes and evolution of herbicide molecules
2012
International audience; Herbicide development in France has been analysed from a historical and agronomical perspective. A database was built up from data collected from the archives of the Ministry of Agriculture Food and Fisheries and from French phytosanitary compendia edited since 1961 by the Association de Coordination Technique Agricole. Only herbicides used in cultivated areas were retained. The first organic synthetic herbicides were registered on cereals after the Second World War. Since 1944, a total of 225 herbicidal active ingredients have been registered in France. The number of active ingredients regularly increased with a maximum of 138 in 2002; 104 were still authorized in 2…
Climate vs grapevine pests and diseases worldwide: The first results of a global survey
2016
<p class="Abstract"><strong>Aim:</strong> This paper aimed to address the relationship between grapevine disease, pest occurrences and climate. The extremely large extension of viticulture worldwide offers the possibility to evaluate the impacts of climate variability on many aspects of the grape growing system. For this, we initiated a global survey to retrieve the most important diseases and pests in many grape growing regions worldwide and to identify the risk of exposure to pests and diseases of viticulture as a function of climate.</p><p class="Abstract"><strong>Methods and results:</strong> Based on the answer of respondent about the main repo…
Las normas ISO/IEC como mecanismos de responsabilidad proactiva en el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos
2021
El mercado de la certificación ha experimentado un auge sin precedentes tras la entrada en vigor y ulterior aplicación del RGPD. Ello obliga a poner de relieve la relevancia de estos mecanismos como elementos claves en la prevención de potenciales violaciones de la seguridad de los datos personales. En el presente trabajo examinamos cómo la naturaleza técnica de estos instrumentos ha cedido hacia su corregulación a los efectos de garantizar una adaptación efi ciente a los continuos cambios de una gran tipología de productos, servicios o sistemas. Pretende proporcionarse una panorámica holística sobre la práctica totalidad de estándares que afectan a las dimensiones de privacidad y protecció…
Study of Consumer Preferences in Regard to the Blonde Orange Cv. Washington Navel “Arancia Di Ribera PDO”
2016
Consumers’ attitude and preferences in regard to food ingre- dients, country of origin, social corporate responsibility toward the environment, and work conditions have changed over the last 10 years. Consumers are getting more educated and there- fore more sensitive around cultivation practices in agriculture and food processing, which increases concerns in regard to production practices in agriculture. Several studies have been conducted on consumers’ preferences about quality food, but not with regard to blonde oranges cv. Washington Navel culti- vated in southern Italy. This quality fruit is a niche product that achieved the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certifica- tion for high…
Multicenter validation study for the certification of a CFTR gene scanning method using next generation sequencing technology.
2018
AbstractBackground:Many European laboratories offer molecular genetic analysis of theCFTRgene using a wide range of methods to identify mutations causative of cystic fibrosis (CF) and CFTR-related disorders (CFTR-RDs). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategies are widely used in diagnostic practice, and CE marking is now required for most in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests in Europe. The aim of this multicenter study, which involved three European laboratories specialized in CF molecular analysis, was to evaluate the performance of Multiplicom’s CFTR MASTR Dx kit to obtain CE-IVD certification.Methods:A total of 164 samples, previously analyzed with well-established “reference” methods for t…
The European consumers’ understanding and perceptions of the “organic” food regime
2004
This paper explores consumer understanding and perception of organic food, with specific reference to the relatively new concept of organic farmed salmon. Key themes associated with the term “organic” and its meaning, as determined by consumers, are explored and the role of labelling and regulatory authorities considered. Focus groups in five countries (UK, Germany, Spain, Norway and France) consisting of 196 participants showed that most consumers are confused about the meaning of the term organic and are largely unaware of the organic certification and labelling process. Many consumers were unsure, even sceptical about the concept of organic farmed salmon and display a large amount of dis…
L’annuaire des centres de ressources biologiques français
2011
Cette norme sera etendue aux CRB gerant des collections d’echantillons biologiques d’origines animale et vegetale en 2011. Cette evolution a ete rendue necessaire, tout en etant facilitee, par la mise en place de reseaux d’excellence de CRB/biobanques aux niveaux national (reseau des biobanques [6]), europeen (BBMRI [7], EMbaRC [8], EMBRC [9])1 et international (P3G [10]). C’est dans ce contexte que le projet « Infrastructure informatique interoperable pour les CRB » (I3-CRB [11]) a ete finance lors de l’appel a projet 2008 du Groupement d’interet scientifique « infrastructures en biologie sante et agronomie » (GIS IBiSA) et du CCRB. La communaute nationale des CRB a emis le souhait de disp…
APPLICAZIONE DI CRITERI E INDICATORI DELLA CERTIFICAZIONE PEFC DI GESTIONE FORESTALE SOSTENIBILE: DUE CASI STUDIO A CONFRONTO NEL TERRITORIO SICILIANO
2018
La Sicilia non ha ancora complessi forestali la cui gestione sostenibile sia stata certificata. Questo lavoro è volto a analizzare la possibilità di applicare i criteri e indicatori di certificazione di GFS secondo lo schema PEFC a due casi studio: i boschi del comune di Bivona (AG) e una foresta situata sulle Madonie (PA). Entrambi sono rappresentativi di ambienti ecologici diversi e importanti dell’isola. L’analisi pone in luce le criticità più significative della gestione attualmente adottata e la mancanza di comunicazione con i portatori d’interesse. Application of Criteria and Indicators of Sustainable Forest Management PEFC Certification: two case studies in Sicily Sicily currently ha…
Sense of coherence, academic performance and professional vocation in Certified Nursing Assistant students
2019
BACKGROUND: The sense of coherence (SOC) of the salutogenic health model explains why people in stressful situations are able to maintain or even improve their health. There are some studies on which measures are more effective to reduce stress in Nursing assistant students. There are no studies that link SOC with the two key aspects in the prevention of stress in Nursing assistant students: the motivation of pursuing this profession and the academic level. OBJECTIVES: To explore the salutogenic paradigm among Nursing assistant students in a region of Spain (Comunitat Valenciana). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, analytical and exploratory study carried out in 2016. METHODS: Students of the first y…
Practice requirements for psychotherapeutic treatment of cancer patients in the outpatient setting-A survey among certified psychotherapists in Germa…
2016
Objective The aim of this study was to delineate the challenges that psychotherapists encounter when they treat cancer patients and how they organise their practices to be able to treat them. Methods A random sample of certified psychotherapists, licensed by the health authorities, with training in psycho-oncology, was asked to complete a questionnaire covering the following issues: therapists' qualifications, organisation of the practice, dealing with appointment cancellations, financing, and networking. Practices with ≥50% cancer patients in their patient load were defined as “practices specialising in cancer” (PSC) and were compared to practices with a smaller proportion of cancer patien…
