Alteration-Induced Volcano Instability at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern Caribbean)
2021
International audience; Volcanoes are unstable structures that deform laterally and frequently experience mass wasting events. Hydrothermal alteration is often invoked as a mechanism that contributes significantly to volcano instability. We present a study that combines laboratory experiments, geophysical data, and large-scale numerical modeling to better understand the influence of alteration on volcano stability, using La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern Caribbean) as a case study. Laboratory experiments on variably altered (advanced argillic alteration) blocks show that uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, and cohesion decrease as a function of increasing alteration, but that …
Pratiques, discours et représentation autour du café en France et en Allemagne,
2016
International audience; Sous ce mot banal « café », tant il fait partie de la vie quotidienne, se cache un terme riche de sens, à la fois par sa polysémie et par les diverses expériences qu’il souligne. Analyser ce qui est, et ce qui fait sens dans cet univers où les ressemblances avec l’œnologie sont sensibles, permet de décrypter les systèmes de signes de nature hétérogène qui s’y rattachent. Dimension spatiale (synonyme de bistrot), il est également dimension temporelle (pause-café) ou atemporelle (à toute heure) qui se charge d’une forte empreinte sociale (échange autour d’un café) et constitue pour certains un véritable rite autour de la machine à café, nouveau totem. Signe des temps, …
Los saberes en torno a la tuberculosis en Valencia a través de la prensa médica (1882-1914)
2011
Para la realización de este trabajo se ha partido del interés que tiene estudiar la literatura científica que a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX dedicó una sociedad como la valenciana al tema de la tuberculosis, de primera importancia no solo en la realidad epidemiológica de la época, sino también para la constitución de la ciencia y las prácticas médicas contemporáneas. Se ha abordado el estudio de los saberes en torno a la tuberculosis en Valencia a través de las revistas médicas publicadas en ella entre 1882 y 1914, periodo en el que se descubrió el origen microbiano de la enfermedad y se desarrollaron nuevas técnicas diagnósticas, preventivas y curativas de la infección tubercu…

Vacunas y evolución: ¿Por qué es importante entender la diversidad genética de los patógenos?
2013
Desde el punto de vista de las intervenciones en salud pública no hay mejor arma que aquella que permite prevenir la transmisión o aparición de la enfermedad. Dentro del campo de las enfermedades infecciosas las vacunas se han convertido en esa arma y han permitido controlar muchas de ellas. Hoy en día hay un gran número de enfermedades infecciosas emergentes para las que no existen vacunas o enfermedades olvidadas que están reemergiendo. Nuevas vacunas se están desarrollando para atacar a los patógenos que están relacionados con ellas. Sin embargo, y a pesar de la importancia del diseño de una buena vacuna, la diversidad genética de los patógenos no se ha tenido siempre en cuenta. El estud…

The Broker in Pornography and Violence: Lou Reed in Lulu’s World
2020
The article analyses the literary and cultural layers of Lulu, the album published by Lou Reed in collaboration with Metallica, based on Frank Wedekind’s two modernist dramas: Earth Spirit (1895) and Pandora’s Box (1904). In Reed’s reinterpretation, the two plays become his means through which he enters the area of disturbing perversion and graphic pornography. Consequently, Reeds seems to follow Susan Sontag’s diagnosis according to which the goal of pornographic literature is to disorient and to disturb mental balance. In the case of Lulu, it demonstrates Reed’s strategies of crossing the borders between what is commonly accepted and what is rejected because of its non-normative quality. …
Developing EU Heritage Diplomacy : Notions of Cultural Diplomacy, Cultural Heritage, and Intercultural Dialogue among EU Officials and European Herit…
2021
The European Commission has recently identified cultural heritage as a focus area for EU cultural diplomacy. The article explores EU cultural diplomacy that deals with cultural heritage and develops the concept of heritage diplomacy based on a critical discourse analysis of interviews with EU officials and heritage practitioners working at sites awarded with the European Heritage Label. What do these actors mean by cultural diplomacy and how do they understand the role and potential of cultural heritage for it and with what effects? The analysis indicates that heritage diplomacy means different things for EU officials and heritage practitioners. Their discourses on the uses of cultural heri…
Active volcanoes as emission point sources of atmospheric mercury
2008
ercury emissions from active volcanoes are of interest for estimating the volcanogenic contribution of Hg to the atmosphere and for monitoring volcanic activity. The global Hg flux from natural sources is poorly known and considerable uncertainty still exists with respect to the complex physical and chemical reactions taking place in the atmosphere among the various Hg forms. The environmental hazard of Hg have been widely demonstrated for its high toxicity. Previous estimates from volcanic plumes are based on limited measurements and poorly determined speciation of Hg in volcanic emissions which is crucial for making reliable estimates of volcanic Hg source strengths and for predicting atm…
