Dynamiques socio-politiques et territorialités de l’immigration ivoirienne en Tunisie by Camille Cassarini

“…By mobilising the register of ethnicity and their exclusion from the political game, these people expressed, in their mobilities, the structural changes to Ivorian society over the last twenty years. Indeed, beyond the change of regime, these Ivorian flows make visible a change in the political imaginary of success and of the figures of success in the country. …”

The financial character of policing in Tunisia: collusions, extraversion and the criminalization of informality by Daniela Musina

“…Finally, the third effect considered is the disqualification and criminalisation of the informal economy, considered here through the observation of how hawala channels and exchange networks for money, good and people circulation acquire centrality to legitimize these attempts at control, whose effectiveness must be relativized, but which nevertheless have violent and disqualifying consequences for vulnerable economies at the Tunisian border and beyond. This process is accelerated by the progressive conflation of informal money circulation channels with mobility and migrant transit, and of money couriers (passeurs de fonds) with smugglers.…”

Blood Lead Levels among Blood Donors and High-Risk Occupational Groups in a Mining Area in Ghana: Implications for Blood Transfusion among Vulnerable Populations by Veronica Agyemang, Joseph K. Acquaye, Samuel B. E. Harrison, Felix B. Oppong, Stephany Gyaase, Kwaku P. Asante, Edeghonghon Olayemi

“…It is important that measures to safeguard the integrity of donor blood go beyond screening for infectious diseases to include screening individuals in high-risk occupations for lead and other heavy metals to ensure that donor blood from such individuals is safe and does not pose potential danger to the health of vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women.…”

L’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis, une menace sur la forêt tropicale humide ? by Serge Bahuchet, Jean-Marie Betsch

“…(Kleinman et al. 1995).In the context of the announcement of the creation of the National Park of the South of French Guiana, an interdisciplinary program (ecology, pedobiology, ethnology; MNHN-CNRS-IRD) Effects of the traditional cultural practices on soils and forest (French Environment Ministry) studied the effects of the itinerant agriculture on slash-and-burn field from an analysis of the conditions which allow Amerindian communities to satisfy their material and spiritual needs in a forest system.This program set up the following points:– the fine practices of this agriculture, constituting a real strategy, supply efficiently the mineral elements in the cultures, without purchase of fertilizers, and ensure a rapid forest recovery after at least 10 years; the cycles short culture - long fallow allow the self regeneration of an agroforestry system registered since millenniums in the forest dynamics of the river banks;– the adoption of the long fallow limits the spatial extent of every family to 10-15 hectares at most;– the transportation on foot of the harvest towards the village limits the extent of the agriculture to a 3-4 km band from the river; beyond, the forest is protected from an agricultural pressure;– the absence of the market does not lead to an increase of the cultivated surfaces and the pressure on the forest is not increasing thus at present;– the forest of the hinterland includes wide zones restricted by strong social taboos; the conservation of the social organization of the Amerindian ethnic groups is the first condition of the preservation of the forest domain.The real solution for the preservation of the forest heritage in the South of French Guiana, obviously social, was thus already political, before the creation of the “Amazonian Park of Guyana” (2007).…”

Ten Years of the Global Reform of Financial Regulation: What is ahead? by L. S. Khudyakova

“…Rapid growth of transactions by the latter, according to the author’s opinion, is a threat to the global financial stability especially taking into account such factors as its close interconnectedness with traditional financial institutions (banks), exposure to the bank-like risks, the wide implementation of financial innovations for making new unregulated products.Investigating new challenges beyond the perimeter of the post-crisis reform the author came to the conclusion that implementation of financial technologies as well as the necessity to take into account ecological and social factors require serious transformation of the global financial system as well as it’s regulation. …”

Scaling of fractured rock flow. Proposition of indicators for selection of DFN based flow models by Davy, Philippe, Le Goc, Romain, Darcel, Caroline, Selroos, Jan-Olof

“…A 4th indicator on the representative elemental volume could in principle be defined but the data show that this volume/scale is beyond the 300 m investigated. We tested a series of numerical models built in three steps: the geo-DFN based on the observed fracture network, the open-DFN which is the part of the geo-DFN where fractures are open, and a transmissivity model applying on each fracture of the open-DFN (Discrete Fracture Network). …”
