Policiers, gendarmes et signalement descriptif. Représentations, apprentissages et pratiques d'une nouvelle technique de police judiciaire, en France…
2006
À partir des années 1880, les nouveaux procédés d’identification développés par Alphonse Bertillon à la Préfecture de police de Paris représentent des moyens modernes et efficaces de police judiciaire face à une criminalité perçue comme irrésistible. Parmi ceux-ci, le signalement descriptif, ou « portrait parlé », est réputé permettre la reconnaissance infaillible d’un individu dont les traits du visage auraient été minutieusement décrits par cette technique particulière. Fait notable, sans doute inédit et sans équivalent alors, cette technique est enseignée aux divers acteurs de la police française – policiers de la Préfecture de police, de la Sûreté générale, mais aussi gendarmes et garde…
Kinship, acquired and inherited status, and population structure at the Early Bronze Age Mokrin necropolis in northern Serbia
2020
AbstractTwenty-four ancient genomes with an average sequencing coverage of 0.85±0.25 X were produced from the Mokrin necropolis, an Early Bronze Age (2,100-1,800 BC) Maros culture site in Serbia, to provide unambiguous identification of biological sex, population structure, and genetic kinship between individuals. Of the 24 investigated individuals, 15 were involved in kinship relationships of varying degrees, including 3 parent-offspring relationships. All observed parent-offspring pairs were mother and son. In addition to the absence of biological daughters, we observed a number of young women and girls with no biological relatives in our sample. These observations, together with the high…
The Genetic History of Northern Europe
2017
Recent ancient DNA studies have revealed that the genetic history of modern Europeans was shaped by a series of migration and admixture events between deeply diverged groups. While these events are well described in Central and Southern Europe, genetic evidence from Northern Europe surrounding the Baltic Sea is still sparse. Here we report genome-wide DNA data from 24 ancient North Europeans ranging from ~7,500 to 200 calBCE spanning the transition from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural lifestyle, as well as the adoption of bronze metallurgy. We show that Scandinavia was settled after the retreat of the glacial ice sheets from a southern and a northern route, and that the first Scandinav…
Defining sensory descriptors: towards writing rules based on terminology
2007
International audience; Descriptive analysis relies upon the use of sensory descriptors. They are words generally associated to a definition aimed at helping their understanding. However, the writing rules for such definitions remain implicit. The present work is a collaborative attempt from sensory analysts and linguists to get further insight into how definitions are elaborated.Definition formulations were analyzed according to linguistic criteria, syntactic (type and number of nouns, verbs and adjectives) as well as semantic ones (relations of synonymy, metaphor or analogy between the descriptors and their definitions). Such a linguistic analysis was performed on one hundred descriptor d…
Le goût sucré, de l’enfance… à la dépendance ?
2013
Summary: Can one talk about addiction to sugar? Sugar is an important part of our diet, and an important source of pleasure, as of a young age. The definition of addiction involves that addictive substances act on the reward circuit, and lead to two symptoms, withdrawal and tolerance. Is it the case with sugar? According to the literature, brain activations in regions involved in the reward circuit are observed in response to “sugar”, and they differ according to the type of sugar (caloric carbohydrates, sweet or not; sweeteners). Besides, withdrawal and tolerance symptoms are not well characterized: food cravings often concern sweet foods, but there is a decrease with age of the preference…
Le bien-être alimentaire du quotidien à l’institution hospitalière : de nouveaux enjeux normatifs.
2020
Cet article interroge la façon dont les questions sanitaires jouent sur les normes en matière de santé. Dans une perspective diachronique et culturellement située, l’objectif de l’article sera, dans un premier temps, de montrer que le bien-être est une valeur évolutive aux prismes des attentes sociétales. D’un bien-être aux contours fermés et délimités, les enjeux sociaux et la forte médiatisation de la nutrition en font une valeur qui évolue, dont la qualification reste toujours difficile à saisir. Dans un second temps, l’article propose la construction d’un outil de mesure du bien-être alimentaire en contexte hospitalier afin d’intégrer des éléments subjectifs et actuels autour des attent…

Le social à l’épreuve, l’épreuve du social. Ou l'art d'accommoder la position sociale des patients dans le travail préventif en médecine générale
2021
Resume Objectif Cet article interroge la maniere dont les medecins generalistes liberaux prennent en compte la position sociale de leurs patients dans leur travail preventif. Methode Apres une revue des principales constructions normatives censees equiper les generalistes pour l’apprehension des dimensions sociales, l’article utilise deux enquetes sur la dispensation des soins preventifs, l’une epidemiologique (PrevQuanti) et l’autre sociologique (PrevQuali). Resultats La deontologie, la formation et les recommandations mettent difficilement en forme les dimensions sociales de la sante avec lesquelles doivent composer les generalistes. L’enquete PrevQuanti a pourtant mis en evidence que la …
