Embonpoint, obésité, genre et inégalités sociales au CanadaDumas, Nathalie 05 1900 (has links)
La problématique de la surcharge pondérale est pandémique. Un nombre important d’études épidémiologiques robustes mettent en évidence un gradient socio-économique (SSE) en lien avec cette problématique: le risque de surpoids ou d'obésité diminuerait graduellement avec l’accroissement du SSE. Toutefois, les données canadiennes récentes montrent que ce gradient est inversé pour les hommes au Canada. Nos objectifs sont (1) de vérifier si ce phénomène de gradient SSE inversé s’applique autant à l’embonpoint, qu’à l’obésité; (2) nous présenterons et discuterons trois grandes hypothèses susceptibles d'expliquer les inégalités sociales de surcharges pondérales (sociodémographique, habitudes de vie et psychosociale). Méthodologie : nous réalisons nos analyses à partir d’un échantillon de personnes âgées de 25 à 65 ans ayant répondu aux questions de l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes cycle 2.2 volet-nutrition (ESCC 2.2). Nous choisissons d’utiliser les données de cette enquête principalement pour ses mesures anthropométriques. Nous utilisons deux indicateurs SSE : le revenu et l’éducation. Nous utilisons des régressions logistiques simples et multinomiales. Nos résultats montrent des gradients SSE inversés entre hommes et femmes pour les liens entre le revenu et l’obésité, mais non pour l’embonpoint. Nous observons des gradients SSE avec l’éducation, mais principalement pour les femmes et l’obésité. Que pour les hommes aucune des hypothèses explicatives n’aura su atténuer l’effet du revenu, tant pour l’embonpoint que pour l’obésité. Chez les femmes l’effet de l’éducation et des habitudes de vie expliquent majoritairement l’effet du revenu sur l’obésité. Conclusion : nous montrons par nos résultats qu’en se concentrant uniquement que sur les aspects individuels de la surcharge pondérale, nous limitons notre compréhension des inégalités sociales en matière de surcharge pondérale, particulièrement celles entre le genre. / Overweight and obesity are an epidemic health problem Worldwide. A large number of Epidemiological studies demonstrate social gradient (SES) whit this problematic: the higher the socioeconomic level of the household the lower the Overweight or Obesity rate are. Recent Canadian data shows that the likelihood of being overweight follows a socio economic (SES) gradient. However, the risk increases with the SES for men and decreases for women. Our aims are (1) to examine if this gender-reversed SES gradient is observable for pre-obesity as well as for obesity; and (2) to which extent this gradient can be explained by, socio-demographic, psychosocial and behavioural factors. Methods: Data was derived from a subsample of Canadian adults (25-65 years) who responded to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS 2.2, Statistics Canada). We choose this survey because the BMI is derived from anthropometric measures of weight and height. We used two SES indicators: education level and measure of income sufficiency calculated by Statistics Canada. Multinomial logistic regressions were used to test our hypotheses’. Our results show a gender-reversed gradient for obesity but not for pre-obesity. Pre-obesity is significantly and positively associated to SES for men, but no significant relationship was found for women. For men, socio-demographic, behavioural and psychosocial factors neither contribute in explaining the relationship between SES and pre-obesity or obesity. For women, behavioural factors, mainly physical activity, contribute, however marginally, to reducing the gap between the poorest and the richest. In conclusion, these results show that targeting individual factors is a limited approach towards reducing overweight social inequalities.

Basic Concepts and school performance in girls at first grade and low SES / Conceptos básicos y rendimiento escolar en niñas de primer grado de primaria de clase socioeconómica bajaLa Rosa Cormack, María Isabel 25 September 2017 (has links)
The finality of this work was to solve the question about the relationship between knowledge of basic concepts such as: space, time quantity and number, and school performance. The sample was conformed by 30 low school first grade students aged 6 years belonging to low SES. The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts and a Pedagogical Test were administred to asses performance in language and mathematics. Significant correlation was founded between the study variables being higher the relation about concepts and language than concepts and mathematics. / La finalidad de este trabajo fue resolver la interrogante acerca de la relación entre el conocimiento de conceptos básicos de espacio, tiempo, cantidad y número, y el rendimiento escolar, a partir de un diseño de tipo correlacional. Para ello se tomó una muestra compuesta por treinta niñas de seis años de edad que cursaban el primer grado de primaria, pertenecientes a la clase socioeconómica baja. Como instrumentos se utilizaron el Test Boehm de Conceptos Básicos y una Prueba de Pedagógica que evaluaría el desempeño tanto en lenguaje como en matemáticas. Los resultados mostraron una correlación significativa entre las variables del estudio siendo mayor, la correlación entre conceptos y lenguaje, que entre conceptos y matemáticas.

Gestão de recursos comuns no entorno de áreas protegidas : ação coletiva e desenvolvimento rural no sistema sócioecológico (SES) do Parque Nacional da Serra da Bodoquena - MSPereira, Márcio de Araújo January 2013 (has links)
Esta tese tem como tema o conjunto de recursos comuns naturais e os formatos de gestão que permitem novos sistemas de governança nos espaços rurais no entorno de áreas protegidas. Como questão central, busca responder como os diversos atores afetados pelo processo de criação de uma área protegida organizam-se e desenvolvem ações coletivas para a gestão dos recursos comuns no entorno destas áreas. Têm-se como hipótese que há uma aproximação entre os atores conforme seus objetivos em relação aos recursos comuns naturais, o que remete a configuração de um novo sistema de governança que propicia o desenvolvimento de ações coletivas próprias de gestão dos recursos comuns. Outra hipótese é que a ação do Estado, por meio de políticas governamentais, apresenta efeito limitado na coordenação das ações e na promoção do consenso entre os atores. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a ação coletiva dos atores sociais na gestão dos recursos comuns no entorno do Parque Nacional da Serra da Bodoquena (PNSB), o qual abrange áreas dos municípios de Bodoquena, Bonito, Jardim e Porto Murtinho no Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Por meio da abordagem institucional no estudo da auto-organização e autogovernança em situações de gestão do conjunto de recursos comuns desenvolvida por Elinor Ostrom, buscou-se a fundamentação teórica para explicação dos fenômenos e problemática identificada. Metodologicamente trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo e documental, a qual apresenta um delineamento de estudo de caso small-N, aplicando-se o framework para análise de sistemas sócio-ecológicos (SES), procedendo-se também uma sistemática análise documental próxima à meta-análise. Conclui-se que a esperada mobilização de grupos de indivíduos em busca de objetivos comuns encontra duas vertentes neste caso, com os participantes da arena de ação criando distintos objetivos e distintas ações coletivas de acordo com seus interesses, produtivos ou ambientais, sendo que governo dos comuns permanece sob o controle dos interesses produtivistas arraigados na cultura de produção agropecuária local. / This thesis has as its theme the common natural resources and the management models that allow new governance systems in the rural areas in the surrounding of protected areas. As central question, seeks to answer how the various actors affected by the process of creation of a protected area organise themselves and develop collective actions for the management of common natural resources in the surroundings of this area. There has been hypothesised that there is a closeness among the actors as their goals in relation to common natural resources, which refers to setting up a new governance system that promotes the development of collective actions specific to the management of common resources. Another hypothesis is that state action, through government policies, has limited effect on the coordination and promotion toward a consensus among actors. In this sense, the objective of this work is to study the collective action of social actors in the management of common natural resources in the surroundings of the National Park of Serra da Bodoquena (PNSB), which covers areas of the municipalities of Bodoquena, Bonito, Jardim and Porto Murtinho in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Based on institutional approach for the study of the self-organisation and self-governance in common-pool resources situations developed by Elinor Ostrom, the investigation sought the theoretical explanation of phenomena and problem identified. Methodologically this is a documentary and field research, which has a feature of small-N case of study, proceeding an applying of the framework for analysing social-ecological systems (SES), conducting also a systematic analysis of documents close to a meta-analysis. The conclusions point out that the expected mobilisation of groups of individuals in the pursuit of common goals is twofold in this case, with the participants of the action arena creating different goals and different collective actions according to their interests, environmental or productive, and that the govern of the commons remains under the control of agribusiness interests rooted in the culture of the local agricultural production.

Resulrs showed rhar borh gro\lpS were affected economically and rook measures ro reduce rheir expenses in basic needs such as food, clorhing and recreation. Morhers coming from rhe middle SES used estategies ro reestructure che situation and make ir more bearable, while mothers from low SES were more passive and relied on rheir extended families. No differences were found in rheir search for spiritual and social support. / Con el fin de explorar las estrategias utilizadas por madres de CSE media y baja para afrontar la crisis económica actual se entrevistaron a 20 madres de cada estrato económico y se les administraron trespequeñas encuestas y la Escala F-Copes "Escala de Evaluación Personal del Funcionamiento Familiar en Situaciones de Crisis". Los resultados evidenciaron que ambos grupos económicos se vieron seriamente afectados económicamente debiendo reducir sus gastos en actividades virales tales como alimentación, vestuario y recreación. Las madres de CSE media recurrieron más a una estrategia de reestructuración del problema para hacerlo más manejable y las madres de CSE baja a la movilización familiar para obtener ayuda y a la evaluación pasiva. No difieren ambos grupos en la búsqueda de apoyo espiritual y social.

Empowering the Steel Industry as a Stakeholder : Environmental Management and Communication through a Social-Ecological ApproachBerg, Alicia January 2013 (has links)
This paper explores a case study of a Swedish tool steel company undergoing a transition from traditional environmental management practices to an enterprise identifying its place as part of a social-ecological system. The Corporate Ecosystem Services Review (ESR) was utilized by the company to begin this process by focusing on ecosystem services to determine how an ESR approach contributes to environmental management in practice. What resulted moved beyond the ESR to a tailored methodology, the internalization of a systems perspective, and a proposed new environmental management system. The results of the study provide a concrete, effective method for internalizing a systems perspective through a focus on ecosystems and presents a case for further analysis into what made it successful. It also provides an example of translating theory into practice, illustrating how a company can engage in sustainable development by valuing and managing the resilience of social-ecological systems through identifying their place in that system. The value of the results can be high for the case study company as well as for business in general.

La protection juridictionnelle de l'inviolabilité du domicile / The judicial protection of the inviolability of the homeGravelais, Isabelle 17 December 2013 (has links)
Depuis la fin du XXème siècle, l’inviolabilité du domicile est reconnue comme une liberté fondamentale consacrée par le Conseil constitutionnel et protégée par la Convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits de l’homme et des libertés fondamentales. Cette valeur s’explique par son réel objet de protection : la personne occupant le domicile. Cette liberté prohibe les intrusions de tiers dans le domicile contre le gré de l’occupant, notamment les intrusions arbitraires de fonctionnaires. Son effectivité est principalement assurée par le juge judiciaire et le juge constitutionnel français ainsi que le juge européen. Ces derniers posent les bases d’une protection satisfaisante en adoptant une conception étendue du domicile. Mais cette protection reste à parfaire, car des insuffisances sont encore présentes dans les garanties dégagées par le Conseil constitutionnel, ainsi que dans celles fixées par le juge judiciaire en cas d’atteinte concrète à cette liberté. / Since the end of the 20th century, the inviolability of home is acknowledged as a fundamental freedom established by the Constitutional Council of French Republic and protected by the European convention of protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. This value is explained by its real object of protection : the resident of the home. This freedom forbids anyone's intrusions at the domicile against the resident´s will, particularly arbitrary intrusions of state servants. Its effectiveness is mainly assured by the French judicial judge and constitutional judge as well as the European judge. This lasts lay the foundations of a satisfying protection adopting a wide conception of the home. But this conception is still to be completed because insufficiencies still exist in the guarantees drawn by the Constitutional Council as well as in those fixed by the judicial judge in case of a concrete attack of this freedom.

The Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Growth Rates in Academic Achievement.Chow, Priscilla En-Yi 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to examine the differences in academic growth rates as demonstrated on the TAKS test among students based on those who received free lunches, those who received reduced-price lunches, and those not economically disadvantaged. Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) for reading and mathematics scale scores were obtained from five Texas public school districts for students who were in 3rd grade in 2003, 4th grade in 2004, 5th grade in 2005, and 6th grade in 2006. The sample included almost 10,000 students. The data were analyzed using SPSS and HLM. SPSS was used to identify descriptive statistics. Due to the nested nature of the data, HLM was used to compare data on three levels- the test level, student level, and district level. Not economically disadvantaged students scored the highest on both TAKS reading and mathematics exams with a mean scale score of 2357 and 2316 respectively in 2003. Compared to the not economically disadvantaged students, students receiving reduce-priced lunches scored approximately 100 points lower, and lowest were the students receiving free lunches, scoring another 50 points below students receiving reduced-price lunches. The results revealed that while gaps in achievement exist between SES levels, little difference exists in the growth rates of the SES subgroups. The results of this study support the need for continued effort to decrease the gap between students who are not economically disadvantaged and those receiving free or reduced-price meals.

Aptacapteurs électrochimiques pour le contrôle environnemental de la tétracycline et ses dérivés / Electrochemical aptasensors for environmental monitoring of tetracycline and its derivativesAlawad, Ahmad 13 December 2019 (has links)
Dans ce travail, deux aptacapteurs électrochimiques ont été développés pour une détection sélective de la tétracycline (TET) et ses dérivés dans les environnements aquatiques. Les deux outils analytiques sont basés sur l’immobilisation d’oligonucléotides d’ADN sur des électrodes de carbone sérigraphiées : le premier est un capteur impédimétrique utilisant un aptamère de 8 nucléotides, tandis que le deuxième est un capteur voltammétrique basé sur l’inhibition de l’électroactivité intrinsèque d’un aptamère de 76 nucléotides. Une telle électroactivité n’ayant jamais été observée précédemment, une étude a été menée afin d’identifier la partie de la séquence responsable de cette activité et de déterminer en parallèle les sites de reconnaissance de la TET. Un autre volet du travail exploite cette électroactivité afin de cartographier par microscopie électrochimique à balayage la répartition des aptamères immobilisés sur l’électrode. / In this work, two electrochemical aptasensors were developed for selective detection of tetracycline (TET) and its derivatives in aquatic environments. The two analytical tools are based on the immobilization of DNA oligonucleotides on screen-printed carbon electrodes: the first is an impedimetric sensor involving an aptamer of 8 nucleotides, while the second is based on a voltammetric sensor based on the inhibition of the intrinsic electroactivity of an aptamer of 76 nucleotides. Since such electroactivity has never been observed previously, a study was conducted to identify the part of the sequence responsible for this activity and to determine in parallel the TET recognition sites. Another part of the work exploits this electroactivity to map the distribution of aptamers immobilized on the electrode by scanning electrochemical microscopy.
