11 batailles qui ont fait la Bretagne

L’ouvrage collectif dirigé par Dominique Le Page couvre, à travers les faits de guerre qui ont touché la région, deux millénaires d’histoire de la Bretagne, de l’affrontement entre la flotte romaine et les Vénètes du Morbihan en 56 av. J.-C. à la bataille du maquis de Saint Marcel en juin 1944. L’attention portée par les onze contributions à la mémoire de l’événement analysé rend ce très impressionnant laps de temps étudié encore plus long, en emmenant l’attention du lecteur jusqu’à nos jours..

Les pratiques mathématiques dans l’évolution de la topographie militaire française, 1744-1791

Dès les années 1740, les nouvelles exigences de la cartographie et de la guerre demandent aux ingénieurs militaires de meilleures compétences en mathématiques théoriques. Les différentes visions des pratiques mathématiques deviennent centrales dans le conflit entre les deux corps institutionnalisés de cartographes militaires. Les ingénieurs du Génie, bénéficiant d’une formation plus structurée, sont en position dominante ; les ingénieurs Géographes comblent l’écart de préparation dès les années 1760, mais restent partisans d’une vision plus traditionnelle du cartographe militaire. En réalité, les pratiques mathématiques, diverses, appliquées aux travaux de terrain ou de cabinet, sont largement communes à ces deux groupes, qui surjouent leurs différences pour servir leurs objectifs dans le conflit.Since the 1740s, French military engineers had to improve their skills in theoretical mathematics, to respond to the new requirements of cartography and war. The different visions of mathematical practices became central in the ongoing conflict between the two official corps of military cartographers, the “Génie” and the “Ingénieurs Géographes”. The “Génie”, benefiting from a more structured training, was in a dominant position; the “Ingénieurs Géographes” filled the gap in mathematics training in the 1760s, but remained in favour of a more traditional view of military cartography. In fact, the diverse mathematical practices, both in fieldwork and office work, were largely common to these two groups, who enhanced their differences to serve their goals in the conflict

How future surgery will benefit from SARS-COV-2-related measures: a SPIGC survey conveying the perspective of Italian surgeons

COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in surgical activity and potential benefit from COVID-19 measures in perspective of Italian surgeons on behalf of SPIGC. A nationwide online survey on surgical practice before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic was conducted in March-April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects of COVID-19 hospital-related measures on surgical patients' management and personal professional development across surgical specialties were explored. Data on demographics, pre-operative/peri-operative/post-operative management, and professional development were collected. Outcomes were matched with the corresponding volume. Four hundred and seventy-three respondents were included in final analysis across 14 surgical specialties. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, application of telematic consultations (4.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.0001) and diagnostic evaluations (16.4% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001) increased. Elective surgical activities significantly reduced and surgeons opted more frequently for conservative management with a possible indication for elective (26.3% vs. 35.7%; p < 0.0001) or urgent (20.4% vs. 38.5%; p < 0.0001) surgery. All new COVID-related measures are perceived to be maintained in the future. Surgeons' personal education online increased from 12.6% (pre-COVID) to 86.6% (post-COVID; p < 0.0001). Online educational activities are considered a beneficial effect from COVID pandemic (56.4%). COVID-19 had a great impact on surgical specialties, with significant reduction of operation volume. However, some forced changes turned out to be benefits. Isolation measures pushed the use of telemedicine and telemetric devices for outpatient practice and favored communication for educational purposes and surgeon-patient/family communication. From the Italian surgeons' perspective, COVID-related measures will continue to influence future surgical clinical practice
