Social process of adaptation to environmental changes: How eastern african societies intervene between crops and climate

2014

Abstract Studies on climate change can only be conducted on a long time scale, and observing how societies adapt their sowing practices to climate variability is challenging and costly. As an alternative, a space and time substitution design was used, changes in space corresponding to that induced in time by environmental change. On the eastern slope of Mount Kenya, the Tharaka community, originating from the lowlands (750 m), moved up to the midlands (950 m) with their lowland-adapted resources, whereas the Mwimbi, originating from wetter upland (1100 m), moved down to the midlands with their highland-adapted genetic resources. A weather station was installed at 950 and 1100 m, and a logis…

Le bon soignant en soins palliatifs et les définitions du patient

2010

National audience; L'hôpital n'est pas un milieu homogène : les pratiques et les représentations professionnelles divergent d'un service à l'autre, mais se présentent toutes comme étant au service du soin. Dès lors, chaque service défend, entre autres, une définition de ce que sont un bon soignant et un bon patient. L'auteur, sociologue, aborde ici la figure du « bon soignant » en soins palliatifs puis, dans un second temps, passe rapidement sur la figure du « bon patient », avant de s'attarder sur celles construites par les professionnels, leur permettant de bien faire leur travail, à savoir deux grands types de patients : le mourant et l'agonisant.

Liking for fat is associated with sociodemographic, psychological, lifestyle and health characteristics

2014

Sensory liking influences dietary behaviour, but little is known about specifically associated individual profiles. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between liking for fat-and-salt and fat-and-sweet sensations and sociodemographic, economic, psychological, lifestyle and health characteristics in a large sample. Individual characteristics and liking scores were collected by a questionnaire among 37 181 French adults. Liking scores were constructed using a validated preference questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between liking levels and individual characteristics. In both sexes, subjects belonging to low-l…

La scolarisation féminine à Djibouti

2012

A la croisée de la sociologie du genre, de la sociologie de l'éducation et de l'anthropologie politique, cette recherche s'intéresse à la complémentarité des approches disciplinaires et méthodologiques au travers d'une étude sur les élèves de Djibouti pour sortir d'une "lecture en négatif" sur la scolarisation des filles limitée en contexte africain. A la suite de ce travail d'immersion sur lequel a reposé cette recherche, ce sont cependant les angélismes qui se cachent derrière la promotion de l'éducation des filles africaines qu'il convient d'interroger et qui donnent à mieux comprendre la persistance des thèses "afropessimistes" dans les rapports d'experts ou la littérature scientifique.

Local Interactions and the Global City Metropolization in Warsaw

2002

A number of the world's large cities are taking on increasing economic importance in the international arenas because they concentrate high-order activities This metropolization process is a result of the changes occurring in the emerging post-industrial economy, i.e. the rise of services and information. It is based on the combination of proximity interactions and global interactions and it is characterized both by a specific internal spatial pattern and by a large outside area of influence. Since the transition period, services, and particularly high-order services, have grown more rapidly in Poland than in EU countries, as if a catching-up process has been underway. A large part of these…

Services supérieurs et recomposition urbaine

2000

Since the 1980s, we have observed an increasing tendency o f specialized services like producer services to leave their « natural habitat » in the center o f large met ropolitan areas in order to re loc at e in suburban zones. This phenomenon is particularly apparen t in North American citi es and seems to be occurring around certain French cities too. This paperinvestigates the forms taken by this new trend, and the reasons behind it. Taking economic geography and economics of cities as our theoretical basis, we first describe the main forces deter mining the agglomeration o f producer services and their preference for certain big cities. Agglomeration factors are to be looked for not only…
