Is the ADA/EASD algorithm for the management of type 2 diabetes (January 2009) based on evidence or opinion? A critical analysis

2010

The ADA and the EASD recently published a consensus statement for the medical management of hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. The authors advocate initial treatment with metformin monotherapy and lifestyle modification, followed by addition of basal insulin or a sulfonylurea if glycaemic goals are not met (tier 1 recommendations). All other glucose-lowering therapies are relegated to a secondary (tier 2) status and only recommended for selected clinical settings. In our view, this algorithm does not offer physicians and patients the appropriate selection of options to individualise and optimise care with a view to sustained control of blood glucose and reduction both of diabe…

2012

El fuego es un factor ecológico natural en la Tierra y ha actuado con diferente intensidad desde hace 400 millones de años. En condiciones de clima mediterráneo el fuego es un factor recurrente que las sociedades humanas han controlado desde hace milenios. Sin embargo, tras medio siglo de abandono agrícola y ganadero, la gestión del monte mediterráneo mediante el uso del fuego es inexistente. Además, con la recuperación de la vegetación, el fuego afecta ahora a una densa y continua masa forestal, convirtiendo los incendios en un riesgo por la dificultad en ser controlados y por su elevada intensidad. Este tipo de incendios descontrolados son los que pueden inducir efectos ambientales advers…

Six années de suivi du flux d'érosion éolienne sur un sol sableux cultivé au Sahel : Impacts des résidus de culture et de l'encroûtement

2013

In the Sahel, wind erosion occurs particularly in cultivated fields. This work was leaded at Banizoumbou in Niger where wind erosion fluxes have been measured for six years. The aims of this study was i) to monitor crop residues cover on traditional field and to quantify its influence on wind erosion ii) to characterize the impacts of soils crusting on erosion flux, iii) to characterize the impact of herbaceous strips on wind flux. Results showed that crop residues efficiently prevent cultivated fields from wind erosion during the dry season (January to April) and considerably reduce erosion fluxes at the beginning of the rainy season (May to July). Under a minimal crop residues cover rate …

Implementation of the inclusive CICO Plus intervention for pupils at risk of severe behaviour problems in SWPBS schools

2020

Check in–check out (CICO) is a widely used and studied behavioural intervention. Although CICO is an effective way to support pupils’ behaviour in a school context, not all pupils benefit from basic CICO. A single-case experimental study was designed to evaluate the effects of CICO Plus support (CICO Plus) for participants whose behaviour was determined to be non-responsive to basic CICO. CICO Plus was planned and implemented with four pupils identified by school CICO teams as needing additional behavioural support. Individual CICO Plus support was planned by multiprofessional teams working on each pupil’s case. The CICO Plus support was based on teaching social skills and behaviour at leas…

La diversité de consommation de fromages dans la petite enfance : un facteur protecteur des maladies allergiques ?

2015

Introduction Une diversité alimentaire importante et précoce a été montrée protectrice vis à vis des maladies allergiques (Roduit C. et al, JACI 2012 Jul;130(1):130-6). L'effet de la diversité de consommation de fromages, riches en microorganismes, n'a pas été étudié. Or l'exposition aux microorganismes est suspectée pour son rôle protecteur sur la survenue de maladies allergiques. Le but de notre étude était d'évaluer l'effet protecteur de la diversité de consommation de fromages vis-à-vis de maladies allergiques (MA) : allergie alimentaire (AA), dermatite atopique (DA), asthme (AS), rhinite allergique (RA) et bronchite (BR). Méthodes L'étude a porté sur 941 enfants de la cohorte PATURE (P…

Materiales nanoestructurados para recubrimientos avanzados: compuestos de circonio

2013

Los materiales basados en el circonio presentan un especial interés como recubrimientos para barrera térmica debido a su baja conductividad térmica, sus buenas propiedades mecánicas y su alta estabilidad química. Estas barreras térmicas se utilizan en motores diesel y en turbinas empleadas en el sector transporte y en distintas industrias, como la aeroespacial y la eléctrica. Existen distintas formas de mejorar las propiedades de estos materiales cuando se usan como barreras térmicas. Una primera opción consiste en obtener recubrimientos nanoestructurados de circona estabilizada con itrio. Se ha demostrado que estos recubrimientos presentan propiedades mejoradas con respecto a sus homólogos…

Identification des espèces d'arbres à partir de données T-LiDAR Tree species identification using T-LiDAR data

2013

National audience; En raison de l'utilisation croissante des scanners LiDAR terrestre (T-LiDAR) dans le domaine forestier, le développement d'outils logiciels pour la mesure automatique d'attributs d'inventaire forestier est devenu un domaine de recherche important. De nombreux travaux portant sur la localisation des arbres dans un nuage de points, la mesure du diamètre à hauteur de poitrine (DHP) ou la mesure de la hauteur des arbres ont été décrits dans la littérature. Cependant, le problème de l'identification des espèces d'arbres à partir de données T-LiDAR a été peu abordé. La plupart des travaux utilisent des données LiDAR aéroportées et les espèces des arbres sont déterminées à l'éch…

Climate variability, innovation and firm performance: evidence from the European agricultural sector

2021

Abstract It is generally accepted that adaptation to climate variability requires a technological advancement strategy. However, the innovation process has received little explicit consideration in this framework. We employ a panel endogenous switching regression model to explore whether and to what extent climate variability affects firm performance through the ability to induce the development of adaptation innovations in key resource-based sectors in Europe during the period 2007–2017. Our findings confirm that the knowledge generation process at the heart of climate change adaptation technologies enhances firm performance, especially for firms in the aquaculture and fishing sub-sectors …
