  • Adverse Birth Outcomes as Indicators of Poor Fetal Growth Conditions in a French Newborn Population—A Stratified Analysis by Neighborhood Deprivation Level

    Open AccessWahida Kihal-Talantikite, Pauline Le Nouveau et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Background : Adverse birth outcomes are related to unfavorable fetal growth conditions. A latent variable, named Favorable Fetal Growth Condition (FFGC), has been defined by Bollen et al., in 2013; he showed that this FFGC latent variable mediates the effects of maternal characteristics on several birth outcomes. Objectives : The objectives of the present study were to replicate Bollen's approach in a population of newborns in Paris and to invest…

  • Premature Adult Death and Equity Impact of a Reduction of NO2, PM10, and PM2.5 Levels in Paris—A Health Impact Assessment Study Conducted at the Census Block Level

    Open AccessWahida Kihal-Talantikite, Pierre Legendre et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Background : To support environmental policies aiming to tackle air pollution, quantitative health impact assessments (HIAs) stand out as one of the best decision-making tools. However, no risk assessment studies have quantified or mapped the health and equity impact of air pollution reduction at a small spatial scale. Objectives : We developed a small-area analysis of the impact of air pollution on "premature" death among an adult population ove…

    Je reprends mes propos tenus, peu de temps après la mort de Michel Cartry, pour honorer la mémoire du savant qui, avec d'autres anciens compagnons de l'École Pratique des Hautes Études, avait accepté de conseiller l'Institut d'Études Avancées nouvellement créé par Alain Supiot à Nantes. Dans cette ville marquée par le fameux commerce triangulaire -Europe, Afrique, Amérique-, la recherche de premier rang a rencontré en notre ami défunt non seuleme…

  • Autocorrélation spatiale et déplacement de la criminalité

    Open AccessDaniel Élie, Pierre LegendreARTICLECriminologie2005Cited by: 2References: 5

    This research examines spatial autocorrelation and crime displacement as facts and concepts. The objective of the study concerns both the methodological theory and the practice of applied research in criminology. The two expressions used in the title can be considered a fragmentation of the concept of turbulence. The authors examine the influence of the presence of spatial autocorrelation in the data on tests of the significance of statistics. Th…

  • Une mémoire fonctionnelle

    Pierre LegendreARTICLERevue française d administration…2002

    Memory, understood as a complex process of reconstructing the past, is one of many social constructs whose function is both to preserve the past and prove the legitimacy of what is done in the present. Seen from this angle, the memory of the administration, as preserved in its archives, enables the administrative state to found its present action. As such, memory is above all a process of censure : its workings are always selective, and choices a…

    Cook Cook, Ziony Zevit et al.BOOKCanonization and Decanonization1998

    This volume contains the papers read at the Leiden Conference on Canonization and Decanonization of 9-10 January 1997. The emphasis in this rich and wide-ranging contribution to the subject is on the processes of canonization and decanonization in several religions and on the phenomenon of religious canons as well. It has two sections: (De)canonization and the History of Religions, and (De)canonization and Modern Society. In the first section pro…

  • Spatial Autocorrelation

    Open AccessPierre LegendreARTICLEEcology1993

    Autocorrelation is a very general statistical property of ecological variables observed across geographic space; it most common forms are patches and gradients. Spatial autocorrelation, which comes either from the physical forcing of environmental variables or from community processes, presents a problem for statistical testing because autocorrelated data violate the assumption of independence of most standard statistical procedures. The paper di…

  • Genetic differences among language families in Europe

    Open AccessRobert R Sokal, Neal L Oden et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1989Cited by: 11References: 17

    We investigated whether 59 allele frequencies and 10 cranial variables differed among speakers of the 12 modern language families in Europe. Although this is a classical analysis of variance design, special techniques had to be developed for the analysis because of spatial autocorrelation of both biological and language data. The method examines pooled sums of squares within language families. These are compared with the same quantities obtained …

  • Les maîtres de la Loi

    Open AccessPierre LegendreARTICLEAnnales Histoire Sciences Sociales1983

    Pour aborder cette étude, une difficulté primordiale doit être circonscrite, c'està- dire très clairement formulée. Je note donc, une fois de plus, ceci : le concept de fonction dogmatique n'est pas justifiable dans l'ordre épistémologique actuel, où sont classés, étiquetés et mis en rapport les savoirs concernant les organisations en général et la reproduction du système industriel lui-même. Les travaux que j'ai conduits là-dessus ne sont pas à …

  • Le périmètre des sciences administratives. Remarques sur la fonction « Recherche » dans les organisations

    Pierre LegendreARTICLERevue française d administration…1978

    Remarks on the “research” function in organizations. Administrative science appears as the dogmatic reproduction of the denunciation of bureaucracy. Never would there be any science worthy of its name in the case of French centralism, were not the so much claimed objectivity and candidness of researchers subjected to an effort of analysis. Seeing that sociological studies are nowadays so heavily integrated into the bureaucratic apparatus, one is …
