Datamama, bringing pregnancy research into the future: design, development, and evaluation of a citizen science pregnancy mobile application
Background: Pregnancy mobile applications (apps) have grown in popularity over the past decade, with some being used to promote study recruitment or health behaviors. However, no app serves as an all-in-one solution for collecting general data for research purposes and providing women with useful and desirable features.
Aim: To create and develop a Swiss pregnancy mobile app as an innovative means to collect research data and provide users with reliable information.
Methods: Determining the key features of the app involved a review of the literature and assessment of popular apps in the Swiss AppStore. A team of engineers developed the app, which includes a pregnancy timeline, questionnaires for data collection, medical and psychological articles and a checklist with appointment reminders. The content was written and reviewed by healthcare providers considered experts in the topics adressed. The questionnaires are distributed based on the userâs gestational age, by a chatbot. The project was authorized by the ethics commission in the canton of Vaud. An online survey of ten questions, advertised on Datamamaâs home screen, was conducted to assess the usersâ use of the app (27.11- 19.12.2022).
Results: A review of 84 articles and 25 popular apps showed the need for a comprehensive pregnancy app. The development of Datamama took 2 years and included the creation of 70 medical and psychological articles and 29 questionnaires covering 300 unique variables. Six months after the launch, there were 800 users with a 73% average participation rate in the questionnaires. Sixty-five women completed the survey, with 70.8% using the app once to multiple times per week. The primary reason for using the app was to help research by answering the questionnaires, followed by access to reliable medical information. The reason most frequently ranked first for using the app was to help research by answering the questionnaires (42/65, 67% of women rated it first), followed by access to reliable medical information (34/65, 54% women rated it second). Women rated the information as clear, understandable, and interesting with a trust rating in data handling at 98.5%. The average grade for recommending the app was 8/10, with suggestions for increasing the amount of medical content and tailoring it based on gestational age.
Conclusion: Datamama is the first pregnancy app to address the needs of both patients and researchers. Initial feedback from users was positive, highlighting future challenges for success. Future work will consist in improving the app, validating the data and use it to answer specific pregnancy-related research questions
Des bibliothĂšques populaires Ă la lecture publique
Les changements politiques et socioculturels amĂšnent au xixe siĂšcle une demande croissante de lecture, quâelle soit instructive ou rĂ©crĂ©ative. Les bibliothĂšques dites « populaires » sont alors mises en place pour tenter de rĂ©pondre Ă ces besoins. Trop laĂŻques pour certains, trop clĂ©ricales pour dâautres, trop « populaires » enfin, leur histoire a fait lâobjet dâun profond oubli pendant la longue premiĂšre moitiĂ© du xxe siĂšcle. Qui Ă©taient les lecteurs de la France rurale, comment les publics cohabitaient-ils, pourquoi le service de prĂȘt de livres sâest-il progressivement rĂ©pandu, comment les autoritĂ©s considĂ©raient-elles ces nouvelles institutions⊠? Pour la premiĂšre fois, dans la continuitĂ© des travaux de NoĂ« Richter puis du colloque, en 1984, portĂ© par la BibliothĂšque des Amis de lâInstruction du IIIe arrondissement de Paris, cette nouvelle Ă©tude scientifique rend compte de ce corpus mĂ©connu des bibliothĂšques. Ă la fois analyse historique approfondie et investigations sociologiques sur les publics, Ă partir de lâexamen des archives de plusieurs Ă©tablissements français, cet ouvrage explore la naissance et le dĂ©veloppement des bibliothĂšques dites populaires en Belgique et en Grande-Bretagne et prĂ©sente une dĂ©clinaison de ce type dâĂ©tablissement dans lâArgentine dâaujourdâhui. Ă lâheure des interrogations sur lâĂ©volution du modĂšle des bibliothĂšques publiques, des questionnements sur leur rĂŽle social, cet ouvrage, dirigĂ© par AgnĂšs Sandras, historienne et conservatrice des bibliothĂšques Ă la BibliothĂšque nationale de France, rassemble les contributions dâauteurs de tous horizons (historiens, sociologues, personnels scientifiques des bibliothĂšques, doctorants et chercheurs confirmĂ©sâŠ), en posant les jalons dâune recherche sur la gĂ©nĂ©alogie de la lecture publique contemporaine
Rapid response to the M_w 4.9 earthquake of November 11, 2019 in Le Teil, Lower RhĂŽne Valley, France
On November 11, 2019, a Mw 4.9 earthquake hit the region close to Montelimar (lower RhĂŽne Valley, France), on the eastern margin of the Massif Central close to the external part of the Alps. Occuring in a moderate seismicity area, this earthquake is remarkable for its very shallow focal depth (between 1 and 3 km), its magnitude, and the moderate to large damages it produced in several villages. InSAR interferograms indicated a shallow rupture about 4 km long reaching the surface and the reactivation of the ancient NE-SW La Rouviere normal fault in reverse faulting in agreement with the present-day E-W compressional tectonics. The peculiarity of this earthquake together with a poor coverage of the epicentral region by permanent seismological and geodetic stations triggered the mobilisation of the French post-seismic unit and the broad French scientific community from various institutions, with the deployment of geophysical instruments (seismological and geodesic stations), geological field surveys, and field evaluation of the intensity of the earthquake. Within 7 days after the mainshock, 47 seismological stations were deployed in the epicentral area to improve the Le Teil aftershocks locations relative to the French permanent seismological network (RESIF), monitor the temporal and spatial evolution of microearthquakes close to the fault plane and temporal evolution of the seismic response of 3 damaged historical buildings, and to study suspected site effects and their influence in the distribution of seismic damage. This seismological dataset, completed by data owned by different institutions, was integrated in a homogeneous archive and distributed through FDSN web services by the RESIF data center. This dataset, together with observations of surface rupture evidences, geologic, geodetic and satellite data, will help to unravel the causes and rupture mechanism of this earthquake, and contribute to account in seismic hazard assessment for earthquakes along the major regional CĂ©venne fault system in a context of present-day compressional tectonics

The visibility of death and the expression of life : the funeral foundation of Philibert II of Savoy and Margaret of Austria at Brou (1504-1532)
Traditionnellement perçu comme expression de la politique impĂ©riale de Marguerite dâAutriche, rĂ©gente des Pays-Bas, dans le duchĂ© de Savoie dont elle Ă©tait douairiĂšre en Bresse, le couvent Saint-Nicolas de Tolentin Ă Brou monumentalise en fait la dĂ©votion de son dĂ©funt Ă©poux Philibert II. Le souverain avait hĂ©ritĂ© des derniers ducs de la branche aĂźnĂ©e son inclination ignorĂ©e pour lâinfluente congrĂ©gation observante des Augustins de Lombardie qui participant de la crĂ©ation renaissante, fournit, transcrit dans un style local, le schĂ©ma claustral de Brou. LâidĂ©e maĂźtresse de Marguerite fut le prestige de la Renaissance, dĂ©couverte au dĂŽme Saint-Jean de Turin. A lâencontre des lectures erronĂ©es du XIXe siĂšcle, la princesse ne sâinspira pas de Champmol. Pour son italianisme, elle confia les tombeaux et lâĂ©glise au français PerrĂ©al. Seules des impossibilitĂ©s pratiques lâamenĂšrent Ă recruter fin 1512 le bruxellois van Boghem. Son art et son rĂ©seau brabançons accompagnaient le tropisme ibĂ©rique de la cour de Bourgogne mais dĂšs 1524-25, il insuffla Ă Brou les touches maniĂ©ristes que permettait la pĂ©nĂ©tration de la Renaissance aux Pays-Bas, plus tardive quâen France. Le programme de lâĂ©glise sotĂ©riologique emphatise la piĂ©tĂ© du duc et Ă un second rang, celle de la maison de Marguerite, mais aussi les devoirs du regnum, que Philibert et sa veuve exercĂšrent dans des pays distincts : ils culminent dans lâexercice de la justice dont le modĂšle est le Christ du Jugement dernier qui jadis, figurait sur le vitrail nord du transept de Brou. Marguerite signa lâĆuvre : promouvant lâĂ©change compassionnel, elle incitait autant Ă la conversion de chacun quâĂ la priĂšre dâintercession et Ă la mĂ©moire, par-delĂ les siĂšcles, de lâarchiduchesse dont la naissance dâexception, impĂ©riale, avait engagĂ© la vie et le monument dâexception.Instead of expressing, as it is traditionally regarded, the imperial politics in Savoy of Margaret of Austria, regent of the Netherlands, the convent Saint Nicolas of Tolentino in Brou she erected in her dower of Bresse embodies the devotion of her late husband Philibert II, duke of Savoy. The sovereign had received from the last dukes of the eldest branch that unrecognized inclination towards the soaring observant congregation of the Austin Friars of Lombardia, which joined the Renaissance and provided the claustral scheme of Brou. Margaretâs main idĂ©e was the search of the Renaissance she had discovered through the Duomo San Giovanni of Torino. Against the incorrect readings of the XIXth century, she was not inspired by Champmol. She entrusted the graves and the church of Brou to the Italianizing French artist PerrĂ©al, and only practical impediments prompted her to sign on van Boghem at the end of 1512. His brabantine Gothicâs practice and circle accorded to the Spanish tropism of the burgundian court but around 1524-1525, the arrival of the Renaissance in the Netherlands allowed him to bring mannerist accents. The iconology of Brou reveals its soteriological aim. It magnifies the dukeâs devotion and at a second rank, the one of Margaretâs house, but also the duties of the regnum that Philibert and his widow both practiced in different countries. Their acme is the ministry of Justice whose reference is the Christ of the Last Judgment, which once figured on the lost northern glass window of the transept. Margaret signed the work: ruled by a will of compassion and exchange, it induced anyone both to the conversion for oneâs own salvation, to intercede for the princes, and to remind through ages the memory of the archduchess, whose exceptional imperial birth had involved her unique life and memorial
