Dix ans de liberté associative pour les étrangers en France. Un entretien avec André Jeanson

Le 9 octobre 1981, le parlement abrogeait le décret-loi de 1939 qui restreignait et encadrait le droit d'association des étrangers vivant en France. La FONDA et 40 associations, françaises et «issues de l'immigration», ont célébré le 23 novembre dernier le dixième anniversaire de cette abrogation.

Knowledge management for modelled Heritage objects, requirement specification towards a tool for heterogeneity embracing

International audienceAs information technologies gains common adoption in the humanities, cultural heritage study remains a special domain. Fundamentally interdisciplinary, cultural heritage works articulate several specific challenges: incompleteness, close link to documentation and the need for many domain collaborating. Modeling tools and methods have been under vibrant development in the past twenty years. But while a lot of e↵orts has been put towards overcoming practical issues, ethical and methodological issues nowadays require further advances. The Reseed project aims to bridge some gaps in the digital use for cultural heritage. This paper aims to shed light on the need to embrace heterogeneity with the aim to entrench model contextualized analysis. Currently in the process of developing fitting solutions, we present our partial implementation, which we supplement with more global requirement specifications. We base our proposal on a domain analysis and confine its scope within a critical discussion. Loïc Jeanson LS2

Identification of mega-environments in Europe and effect of allelic variation at maturity E loci on adaptation of European soybean

Soybean cultivation holds great potential for a sustainable agriculture in Europe, but adaptation remains a central issue. In this large mega-environment (MEV) study, 75 European cultivars from five early maturity groups (MGs 000-II) were evaluated for maturity-related traits at 22 locations in 10 countries across Europe. Clustering of the locations based on phenotypic similarity revealed six MEVs in latitudinal direction and suggested several more. Analysis of maturity identified several groups of cultivars with phenotypic similarity that are optimally adapted to the different growing regions in Europe. We identified several haplotypes for the allelic variants at the E1, E2, E3 and E4 genes, with each E haplotype comprising cultivars from different MGs. Cultivars with the same E haplotype can exhibit different flowering and maturity characteristics, suggesting that the genetic control of these traits is more complex and that adaptation involves additional genetic pathways, for example temperature requirement. Taken together, our study allowed the first unified assessment of soybean-growing regions in Europe and illustrates the strong effect of photoperiod on soybean adaptation and MEV classification, as well as the effects of the E maturity loci for soybean adaptation in Europe

Études de santé

La crise du Covid-19 a exacerbé et mis au grand jour les difficultés du système de santé français, notamment sur le volet de la gestion des ressources humaines : pénuries de personnel, épuisement professionnel, rémunérations insuffisantes… Beaucoup de territoires connaissaient déjà ces maux : les déserts médicaux ne datent pas d’hier, pas plus que les problèmes de coordination des soins pour la prise en charge des maladies chroniques ou les lacunes en termes d’accompagnement au grand âge. Tous ces problèmes ne viennent pas de la formation et tous ne trouvent pas leur solution dans les réformes conduites dans ce domaine, mais la façon dont l’appareil de formation délivre les connaissances et fabrique les spécialités, son organisation (entre les universités, les CHU, les facultés, les instituts… et les territoires), les politiques en matière d’admission et de flux d’étudiants (les fameux numerus clausus et quotas), tout cela façonne le système de santé, influe sur les possibilités de coopération et les conflits et modèle le rapport à l’innovation et la distribution des ressources sur le terrain. Si la santé est un bien commun, la réforme des études est l’affaire de tous. Ce livre, qui donne la parole aux acteurs (enseignants, professionnels de santé, chercheurs, étudiants et acteurs des politiques), place les réformes actuelles des études de santé à la portée du plus grand nombre

Low incidence of SARS-CoV-2, risk factors of mortality and the course of illness in the French national cohort of dialysis patients

International audienceThe aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of COVID-19 disease in the French national population of dialysis patients, their course of illness and to identify the risk factors associated with mortality. Our study included all patients on dialysis recorded in the French REIN Registry in April 2020. Clinical characteristics at last follow-up and the evolution of COVID-19 illness severity over time were recorded for diagnosed cases (either suspicious clinical symptoms, characteristic signs on the chest scan or a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) for SARS-CoV-2. A total of 1,621 infected patients were reported on the REIN registry from March 16th, 2020 to May 4th, 2020. Of these, 344 died. The prevalence of COVID-19 patients varied from less than 1% to 10% between regions. The probability of being a case was higher in males, patients with diabetes, those in need of assistance for transfer or treated at a self-care unit. Dialysis at home was associated with a lower probability of being infected as was being a smoker, a former smoker, having an active malignancy, or peripheral vascular disease. Mortality in diagnosed cases (21%) was associated with the same causes as in the general population. Higher age, hypoalbuminemia and the presence of an ischemic heart disease were statistically independently associated with a higher risk of death. Being treated at a selfcare unit was associated with a lower risk. Thus, our study showed a relatively low frequency of COVID-19 among dialysis patients contrary to what might have been assumed
