Prolonged-release buprenorphine formulations: Perspectives for clinical practice
2020
International audience; Buprenorphine and methadone are the two main opioid agonist treatments approved for opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist of the mu opioid receptors, which has been merely available through sublingual form until now. In practice, the use of buprenorphine is smoother than that of methadone, and it induces reduced risks of overdose. However, sublingual buprenorphine also exposes to risks (e.g., withdrawal, misuse) and constraints (e.g., daily intake). Three new galenic formulations of prolonged-release buprenorphine (PRB) are being commercialized and should allow some improvements in patients' comfort and safety. This narrative review aims to describe…
Effects of seed and carabid densities on the weed seed predation service
2017
National audience; Farming relies heavily on pesticides in order to maintain/increase crop production, yet, awareness of the adverse effects of pesticides on the environment and on biodiversity has triggered the search for alternative, non-chemical, pest management strategies. In arable systems, weeds remain one of the most challenging management issue. Recent research suggest that the depletion of weed seeds by naturally occurring seed consumers could impact the dynamics of problematic weeds and in temperate systems, carabid beetles are the main invertebrate consumers of weed seeds. However, predicting weed seed depletion rates in field conditions remains difficult, as carabid trophic resp…
La sous-traitance de la messagerie urbaine : logiques économiques et rapports de dépendance
2014
Subcontracting is a common practice in road transport, especially in parcel transport operations. Parcel transport is defined as the collection and distribution of shipments of less than three tons. Deliveries and pick-up rounds in urban areas present some specificities (such as difficult traffic and parking situations) which contribute in the high the use of subcontracting within the parcel transport sector. Sub-contracting allows parcel carriers to minimize the costs of urban trips and to provide a flexible and cost-efficient service to shippers. We analyzed a 2012 'carriers' survey done in the Paris region as well as an earlier survey made in the Lyon region. We also interviewed several …
Coping with the costs of car dependency : A system of expedients used by low-income households on the outskirts of Dijon and Paris
2018
International audience; Living on low incomes and in a car-dependent area is often interpreted as a double burden for households, even if the two characteristics are often interdependent. While their capacity for mobility is lower, low-income households in outer suburban areas are nonetheless mobile. Their capacities in this domain should not be underestimated or overlooked. They can command a set of alternative practices or expedients to deal with car-related economic stress by a set of resources derived essentially from spatial proximity. This article aims to present and analyse the diversity of these expedients for the case of outer suburban areas around Paris and Dijon. The analysis of …
Long-term modelling of weed control strategies: analysis of threshold-based options for weed species with contrasted competitive abilities
2002
A simple life-cycle-based demography model was adapted for two contrasting weed species (Alopecurus myosuroides and Poa annual. This model included a seed production function that accounted for population self-regulation through weed:weed interactions. The A. myosuroides version of the model was tested with field data. Long-term simulations of population demography were then performed to investigate the relationship between weed control strategies based on density thresholds and both the frequency of herbicide use and the long-term economic profitability. This study confirms that threshold-based weed management strategies are more cost-effective than spraying every year and may allow import…
La durabilité du périurbain dépendant de l'automobile au regard des pratiques d'achat en ligne des ménages
2014
ASRDLF2014 - 51ème colloque de l'Association de Science Régionale de Langue Française : Métropolisation, cohésion et performances : quels futurs pour nos territoires ?, CHAMPS-SUR-MARNE, FRANCE, 07-/07/2014 - 09/07/2014; International audience; La dépendance automobile des territoires périurbains liée à une absence de commerces et de services pose la question de leur soutenabilité, voire de leur durabilité à l'aube probable d'une augmentation importante et continue des prix des carburants. Internet et plus particulièrement la vente en ligne sont en mesure de fournir une alternative propice au maintien des ménages dans ces territoires. En effet, grâce au e-commerce, les ménages n'auraient pl…
