Saison d'Ă©closion, croissance initiale et survie de la morue arctique (Boreogadus saida) en mer de Laptev : impact des polynies
La morue arctique (Boreogadus saida) joue un rĂŽle crucial dans lâĂ©cosystĂšme marin arctique. Cette Ă©tude dĂ©crit pour la premiĂšre fois la saison dâĂ©closion, la croissance et la survie larvaire de la morue arctique en mer de Laptev (ocĂ©an Arctique sibĂ©rien). La saison dâĂ©closion y est hĂątive et longue (janvier Ă juillet) par rapport aux polynies des eaux du Nord et du Nord-Est (mai et juin). La taille Ă lâĂąge Ă©tait plus grande de 4 mm en 2005 (annĂ©e de faible englacement) quâen 2003 (annĂ©e de fort englacement). La survie des larves dĂ©pendrait en grande partie des conditions de glace, plus spĂ©cialement de lâampleur et de la durĂ©e de lâouverture des polynies hivernales, caractĂ©ristique clĂ© de la mer de Laptev qui dĂ©montre de fortes variations interannuelles. En particulier, lâabsence de larve survivante pour la pĂ©riode de janvier Ă la mi-mars 2003 correspondait Ă lâabsence de polynie dans la rĂ©gion dâĂ©tude.Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) plays a crucial role in the marine Arctic ecosystem. For the first time, the hatching season, and the early growth and survival of Arctic cod are described for the Laptev Sea. The hatching season was early and long (January to July) compared to the North Water and Northeast Water Polynyas (May-June). Length at age was 4 mm longer in 2005 (a year of low ice cover) than in 2003 (heavy ice cover). Larval survival could depend mainly on ice conditions, particularly on the extent and duration of opening of winter polynyas, a key feature of the Laptev Sea that shows strong interannual variations. In particular, the absence of surviving larvae for the period of January to mid-March 2003 coincided with the absence of polynya in the study area

Boreogadus saida et Arctogadus glacialis : vie larvaire et juvénile de deux gadidés se partageant l'océan Arctique
Le trĂšs abondant Boreogadus saida occupe au sein de lâĂ©cosystĂšme marin arctique une place prĂ©pondĂ©rante, ce qui lui vaut une attention croissante des scientifiques. Arctogadus glacialis, commun dans toutes les mers arctiques, est beaucoup moins Ă©tudiĂ©. Les deux espĂšces et leurs jeunes stades cohabitent mais ces derniers sont pratiquement impossibles Ă diffĂ©rencier. Seuls des outils gĂ©nĂ©tiques, ou une mĂ©thode utilisant la taille du noyau de lâotolithe dĂ©veloppĂ©e dans cette thĂšse, peuvent distinguer les deux espĂšces. Ces mĂ©thodes dâidentification ont permis dâĂ©tudier pour la premiĂšre fois lâĂ©cologie des jeunes stades dâArctogadus et dâestimer la proportion de cette espĂšce dans des Ă©chantillons de gadidĂ©s arctiques. Ă la lumiĂšre des observations faites en mer de Beaufort, il apparait que les jeunes Arctogadus ont une abondance environ vingt fois moindre, une taille Ă lâĂ©closion supĂ©rieure, un taux de croissance similaire, et un taux de mortalitĂ© infĂ©rieur aux jeunes Boreogadus. Pour Boreogadus, lâhypothĂšse selon laquelle certaines larves Ă©closent en hiver prĂšs des panaches des fleuves, a Ă©tĂ© testĂ©, dâabord en comparant la saison dâĂ©closion dans six rĂ©gions de lâocĂ©an Arctique caractĂ©risĂ©es par diffĂ©rents apports dâeau douce. ConformĂ©ment Ă cette hypothĂšse, lâĂ©closion commence en hiver dans les mers recevant de forts apports fluviaux alors que lâĂ©closion dĂ©bute au printemps dans les rĂ©gions aux apports dâeau douce limitĂ©s. Les larves qui Ă©closent en hiver profitent dâune longue saison de croissance leur permettant dâatteindre des tailles prĂ©-hivernales largement supĂ©rieures aux larves qui Ă©closent en Ă©tĂ©, ce qui favoriserait leur survie. Cette mĂȘme hypothĂšse a ensuite Ă©tĂ© testĂ©e en comparant la composition chimique des otolithes de Boreogadus provenant de ces six rĂ©gions, et les diffĂ©rences observĂ©es semblent appuyer lâhypothĂšse. Les tendances actuelles au devancement de la dĂ©bĂącle, au rĂ©chauffement des eaux de surface et Ă lâaugmentation du dĂ©bit des fleuves pourraient favoriser le recrutement de Boreogadus, et possiblement aussi celui dâArctogadus. DĂ©coule de cette thĂšse une connaissance accrue de lâĂ©cologie de gadidĂ©s habitant un ocĂ©an confrontĂ© Ă une plĂ©thore de changements.The very abundant polar cod (Boreogadus saida) plays a preponderant role in the Arctic marine ecosystem and consequently has received significant attention in recent years. The ice cod (Arctogadus glacialis), a common species in all Arctic seas, is much less studied. Both species co-occur on Arctic continental shelves and their early life stages are often found together in ichthyoplanktonic collections. However, larvae and juveniles of polar cod and ice cod are almost impossible to differentiate. Only genetic tools, or a method using the size of the otolith nucleus developed in this thesis, can distinguish the two species. These identification methods allowed to study for the first time ice cod early life stage ecology and estimate the proportion of this species in Arctic gadids samples. In light of observations made in the Beaufort Sea, it seems that young ice cod are about twenty times less abundant, hatch at a larger size, grow at the same rate, and have a mortality rate inferior to young polar cod. For polar cod, the hypothesis that some larvae hatch in winter near river plumes, was tested, first by comparing the hatching season in six regions of the Arctic characterized by different freshwater inputs. Consistent with this hypothesis, hatching starts in winter in seas receiving large river discharge while hatching starts in spring in regions with limited freshwater inputs. The larvae hatched in winter benefit from a long growth season allowing them to reach larger pre-winter size than larvae hacth in summer, a condition that likely favors their survival. This same hypothesis was further tested by comparing the otolith chemistry of polar cod juveniles from those six regions, and the differences observed seem to support the hypothesis. On-going trends of earlier ice break-up, warmer surface layer, and increased river discharge could favor polar cod, and possibly also ice cod, recruitment. Arise from this thesis an increased knowledge of the ecology of gadids living in an Ocean facing a plethora of changes

Managing Expectations: the European Union and Human Security at the United Nations
This thesis explores the conditions under which the EU is an effective actor at the United
Nations in the policy area of human security. Since the late 1990s, the United Nations has
been increasingly active in addressing challenges posed by human security concerns. The
concept of human security was introduced to emphasize the post-Cold War shift from a
state-centred approach to security to an approach focused on the security of individuals. The
EU is considered by some as a driving force in the UN policy process and has presented
itself as a leader in the promotion of concrete initiatives to address human security
challenges. This thesis seeks to examine whether the EU is truly an effective actor at the UN
in human security negotiations and aims to identify conditions which influence the EUâs
effectiveness.
This thesis suggests that the analysis of conditions affecting the EUâs effectiveness at the UN
requires the understanding of the ways in which a complex web of actors and institutions
interact at three different levels: international, European Union and domestic. Using a
multilevel game approach, this thesis examines the willingness of EU actors to work
collectively at the UN (internal effectiveness) and the achievements of the EUâs objectives
(external effectiveness). This thesis analyzes three cases of human security negotiations: 1)
the ban on anti-personnel landmines, 2) the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons
(SALW) and 3) the involvement of children in armed conflicts. Factors which have affected
the EUâs internal and external effectiveness are identified in each of the case studies. The
thesis uses qualitative methods such as expert interviews, documentary analysis and nonparticipant
observation.
This thesis demonstrates that, at the international level, the commitment of the EU to
multilateralism can have an effect on the EUâs effectiveness in human security negotiations.
The position of other key UN actors (such as the United States and the G-77) regarding a
potential agreement also appears to directly influence EU Member States in achieving their
objectives. The thesis argues that the use of consensus in the negotiations process can have a
significant impact on the EUâs effectiveness. At the EU level, the analysis reveals that
several key EU Member States channelled their efforts to convince their EU partners to act
on all three issues. This thesis shows how the role of the EU presidency in coordinating the
position of EU Member States can also affect the EU effectiveness in human security negotiations. The support of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, three dominant
players in the EUâs Common Foreign and Security Policy, seems also particularly influential
in negotiations. Finally, the case studies suggest that domestic politics can directly shape the
EUâs effectiveness. Internal negotiations in EU Member States and the involvement of
NGOs at the domestic level are two other factors which influence the EUâs effectiveness
Interactions parent-enfant et développement langagier d'enfants négligés ùgés de 3,5 ans
Child neglect is a parent's failure to respond to his child's fundamental needs. In this context, language development is particularly vulnerable as it depends on frequent and sensitive parent-child interactions. After having established the prevalence of language delays among neglected children, this study aims to compare dimensions of parent-child interactions in neglectful and non-neglectful dyads and to identify interactional dimensions associated with the language skills of neglected children. Fifteen neglected and 61 nonneglected children aged 3.5 years and their parents participated in the study. Results show that neglected children present significant delays in all language measures. Neglectful parents displayed less responsiveness and less positive affect toward their child than nonneglectful parents. Clinical and research implications conclude this paper
