Do upscale restaurant owners use wine lists as a differentiation strategy?
2009
Abstract The present paper studies various criteria used by upscale restaurant owners to differentiate their restaurants and to define their positioning. In particular, we studied several wine list attributes. Through a cluster analysis and a correspondence factor analysis based on different objective wine list characteristics, we obtain two main differentiated profiles of restaurants according to the relative importance of their wine list in comparison with food menu: wine selection and complementarity. Upscale restaurants need to define their positioning strategy and elaborate their wine lists according to their strategy.

The 'power' of tourism in Portugal
2012
The author analyses the upper tail of the distribution of tourism supply in Portugal from 2002 to 2009, using data from the Instituto Nacional de Estatística database. Tourism supply is defined in terms of the lodging capacity of hotel establishments in about 250 tourist destinations. The paper shows that the empirical distribution of tourism supply in Portugal is heavy-tailed and consistent with a power law behaviour in its upper tail. Such behaviour seems to be stable over the years, provided that, for the time horizon covered by the data sets, the scaling parameter is always close to the value of two. The power law hypothesis is tested positively through the use of graphical and analyti…
Soins ambulatoires et facteurs associés à la réhospitalisation précoce des sujets âgés (65+) après un infarctus du myocarde : étude observationnelle …
2017
Etat de la question Les rehospitalisations precoces (RHP), dans les 30 jours suivant la sortie d’hospitalisation, sont frequentes chez les sujets âges, notamment apres un infarctus du myocarde (IDM). Elles augmentent la morbi-mortalite et les depenses de sante. Il a ete demontre qu’une meilleure organisation de la sortie d’hospitalisation reduit significativement le risque de RHP. Neanmoins, il n’existe aucune recommandation sur le suivi ambulatoire en sortie d’hospitalisation. L’objectif de l’etude etait d’analyser les soins ambulatoires post-hospitaliers et les facteurs associes a la RHP des sujets âges apres un IDM. Materiel et methodes Etude observationnelle retrospective a partir des d…
Use of hospital and amubutory data in assessment of screnning, follow-up and complications of diabetes mellitus
2017
Diabetes is a priority health target worldwide. Access to conclusive data is equally a priority in order to establish clear objectives and to implement coordinated action. Medico-administrative databases are being used more and more frequently for this purpose. We set out to illustrate and assess the interest of using a French healthcare consumption database to evaluate screening, surveillance and the risk of acute or chronic complications of diabetes in certain at-risk populations. We concluded that early screening for type-2 diabetes in women with a history of gestational diabetes was inadequate. Although a slight improvement occurred following the recommendations published in 2010, one w…

CHAPON (Inrap) en avril 2014 et novembre 2015.L’emprise des fouilles représente 3 200 m², pour une emprise totale du projet d’aménagement de 14 775 m². Le site est situé à l’extérieur des agglomérations antiques et médiévales, en périphérie des fortifications érigées par Vauban (1679-1697).
