La ligne de couleur de W.E.B Du Bois. Représenter l’Amérique noire au tournant du XXe siècle

Depuis 2013, un mouvement politique lutte contre le racisme envers les Noirs d’Amérique : Black Lives Matter. Pourtant, un tel militantisme en faveur de la cause noire ne date pas d’hier. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois en est un précurseur lorsque, en 1900, pendant l’Exposition universelle de Paris, il entend illustrer les progrès accomplis par la communauté afro-américaine depuis l’abolition de l’esclavage. Pour ce faire, ce sociologue et historien américain réalise une soixantaine de repr..

Remonter le temps. Consultation et impression de données anciennes et actuelles

L’objectif de ce site, mis en place par l’IGNF en 2016, est de permettre d’observer des données géographiques historiques et de les confronter avec les données actuelles, permettant ainsi une analyse fine du territoire français et de ses évolutions au cours du temps. La comparaison peut se faire entre cartes mais également entre cartes et photos aériennes anciennes et actuelles. Ce site propose trois services (figure 1) : la comparaison des cartes et des photos aériennes anciennes et actuelles ..

Options and recommandations related to further development of an Espon Cartographic Language

In this 5th part of Espon Cartographic Language Final Report, our aim is to identify good practices, as well in the development of interactive cartographic environments such as atlases, as in innovative cartographic constructions. Our proposals target several levels:- The level of applications themselves: which functionalities have to be use, for what applications and what objectives?-The level of cartographic representations, meaning the possibilities to introduce elements of animation and interactivity in maps, depending on data and objectives: what innovations for which representation?To achieve such aims, we use two types of resources:- a collection of interactive atlases, considered as the most representative of the diversity in european statistical atlases, which we have analyzed and compared.- the collection of maps presented in Task 4, that we propose to enrich with functions of interaction and animation.The first part of Task 5 deals with recommendations, coming from a comparative analysis of european statistical atlases. These recommendations depend on the type of environment to be made (environment of visualization, analysis or exploration), and on the desired interactivity level.The second part deals with recommendations to create interactive and animated maps. They are illustrated by concrete proposals, in the form of summary datasheet.The final part deals with a comparison of computer tools that can be used to make innovative cartographic applications

Recent Computer Technologies for an Innovative Cartographic Language: Espon Cartographic Language, Interim Report 1

Review of the state of the art in recent computer technologies and related cartographic software in support of ensuring an innovative cartographic language. The service provider is asked to review the state of the art in recent computer technologies and related cartographic software development in support of ensuring an innovative cartographic language. The service provider shall, based on this review, present options for modernising the ESPON Cartographic Language. The fulfilment of this task should not be limited only to more “traditional” cartography, but explore new options for adding new cartographic concepts, types of illustrations and computer animated presentations, that could support the presentation of the geography of policy orientations and forward-looking territorial evidence to the European territorial policy arena. The review shall lead to recommendations of cartographic technologies and techniques to consider in a modernised ESPON Cartographic Language. It shall be used as input for recommendations on new cartographic elements to consider in a modernised ESPON Cartographic Language under task 4 and 5. Three dimensions for an Innovative cartographic language will be explored in three directions:- Former Semiotic language combined with new technologies- Usability of the produced representations - Focus on added dimensions like interactivity, animation, multimedia, 3D, etc

Characterization of an H4N2 influenza virus from Quails with a multibasic motif in the hemagglutinin cleavage site

AbstractThe cleavage motif in the hemagglutinin (HA) protein of highly pathogenic H5 and H7 subtypes of avian influenza viruses is characterized by a peptide insertion or a multibasic cleavage site (MBCS). Here, we isolated an H4N2 virus from quails (Quail/CA12) with two additional arginines in the HA cleavage site, PEKRRTR/G, forming an MBCS-like motif. Quail/CA12 is a reassortant virus with the HA and neuraminidase (NA) gene most similar to a duck-isolated H4N2 virus, PD/CA06 with a monobasic HA cleavage site. Quail/CA12 required exogenous trypsin for efficient growth in culture and caused no clinical illness in infected chickens. Quail/CA12 had high binding preference for α2,6-linked sialic acids and showed higher replication and transmission ability in chickens and quails than PD/CA06. Although the H4N2 virus remained low pathogenic, these data suggests that the acquisition of MBCS in the field is not restricted to H5 or H7 subtypes

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries
