Miettes médiatiques

Il y a 40 ans les ethnologues et les médias s’ignoraient à peu près com­plètement. La situation a bien changé depuis lors. Aujourd’hui produc­teurs d’émissions et journalistes sont jugés « incontournables ». Quant aux éditeurs qui s’occupent encore de livres, ils traînent à leurs basques des comités d’experts et les pythonisses du marketing. Comment a-t-on pu en arriver là ? C’est le propos du témoignage que voici où plusieurs expériences pittoresques sont subjectivement présen­tées comme autant de jalons dans un processus continu de dépossession.40 years ago ethnologists and the media more or less knew nothing about each other. Since then, the situation has very much changed. Today, programme producers and journalists are considered to be an entity that can not be ignored. As for those editors who still deal in books, they have trailing along behind them committees of experts and marketing visionaries. How has this come about? This is the subject of the following account in which several colourful experiences are subjectively presented as so many milestones in a continuous process of dispossession

Lacks and possible improvements in European Union law concerning GMOs

International audienceBecause of the complexity of many environmental problems, we need their holistic assessment. That is why, in such a matter, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary. It has also been the guiding line for this present study on the European regulation of the GMOs, crossing the different points of view of a lawyer and a biologist. According to the European legislation, molecular biology and dissemination of genetically modified organisms are mainly regulated by two major directives of the European Parliament and of the Council: Directive 2009/41/EC on the contained use of genetically modified microorganisms, and Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms. Two different approaches are possible to analyse those directives and suggest possible improvements

Proteomic analysis of cold adaptation in a Siberian permafrost bacterium – Exiguobacterium sibiricum 255–15 by two-dimensional liquid separation coupled with mass spectrometry

Bacterial cold adaptation in Exiguobacterium sibiricum 255–15 was studied on a proteomic scale using a 2-D liquid phase separation coupled with MS technology. Whole-cell lysates of E. sibiricum 255–15 grown at 4°C and 25°C were first fractionated according to p I by chromatofocusing (CF), and further separated based on hydrophobicity by nonporous silica RP HPLC (NPS-RP-HPLC) which was on-line coupled with an ESI-TOF MS for intact protein M r measurement and quantitative interlysate comparison. Mass maps were created to visualize the differences in protein expression between different growth temperatures. The differentially expressed proteins were then identified by PMF using a MALDI-TOF MS and peptide sequencing by MS/MS with a MALDI quadrupole IT TOF mass spectrometer (MALDI-QIT-TOF MS). A total of over 500 proteins were detected in this study, of which 256 were identified. Among these proteins 39 were cold acclimation proteins (Caps) that were preferentially or uniquely expressed at 4°C and three were homologous cold shock proteins (Csps). The homologous Csps were found to be similarly expressed at 4°C and 25°C, where these three homologous Csps represent about 10% of the total soluble proteins at both 4°C and 25°C.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/55850/1/5221_ftp.pd
