European protection of fundamental rights in environmental matters. Contribution to the study of the relationship between law and science
2019
The prevention and sanction aspects of the protection against the pollution is manifested in Europe by the combination and complementarity of two matters (environment and fundamental rights) and two legal orders (European Union and Council of Europe). They consist of the protection of the environment that a person can expect to obtain in the context of the protection of these rights. They allow the management of "new risks" and the assimilation of pollution to a violation of a fundamental right under conditions including scientific knowledge. Protection of fundamental rights in environmental matters raises the question of the place given to scientific demonstration in jurisdictional work an…
Elaboration of a method to categorize substances of interest as regards to their potential endocrine disrupting activity: assessment and categorizati…
2021
EDCs are substances that alter function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse health effects. The endocrine system consists of many cells and tissues that interact with each other and the rest of the body by means of hormones. This system is responsible for controlling a large number of processes in the body from gamete formation, to conception and early developmental processes such as organogenesis, and to most tissue and organ functions throughout life. EDCs interfere with endocrine function by many ways and, in doing so, lead to adverse effects on the health of humans and/or wildlife. Some of the observed health effects associated with EDCs include, butare not limited…
Transport de la variabilité dans les matériaux composites = Uncertainties propagation in composite materials
2009
National audience; Dans ce travail, une méthodologie de transport d'incertitudes à travers les différentes échelles d'observation des matériaux composites : (i) micro (fibres et matrice), (ii) méso (pli), (iii) macro (matériau stratifié) est proposée. L'objectif est d'intégrer à l'échelle macro (celle du calcul de structure) l'effet des incertitudes venant de l'échelle micro et celle des incertitudes introduites à chacune des échelles méso et macro. La démarche proposée s'appuie sur l'élaboration dès l'échelle micro de distributions statistiques bâties sur l'analyse morphologique et obtenues grâce à la génération de matériaux virtuels.
La spatialité des dommages et risques environnementaux comme point de convergence entre géographie, écologie et politique
2012
The analysis of complex systems such as those captured by scientific ecology shows that the occurrence of damaging events is difficult to predict. Moreover, most of these unpredictable events will be those with the strongest echoes, giving full meaning to the concept of risk as cross between hazard and vulnerability. Each of these two components of risk has a spatial dimension more or less obvious, and to understand the natural risk, occurrence and spatial extension of the hazard and the vulnerability should be analyzed jointly. Thus, we show that for environmental risk, the question of "where?" posed by the prediction refers certainly to ecological and geographical problems, but also econo…
