  • Lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessLaure Pauly, Caroline Residori et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: The COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease-2019) pandemic highlighted the importance of assessing the rationales behind vaccine hesitancy for the containment of pandemics. In this nationwide study, representative of the Luxembourgish population, we identified hesitant groups from adolescence to late adulthood and explored motivations both for and against vaccination. Methods: We combined data collected via online surveys for the CON-VINCE (C…

  • Adaptation and Hybridisation of Commons in Aït Oucheg Territory, High Atlas, Morocco

    Open AccessCharles Bonnin, Elouarti Ayoub et al.ARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2021References: 21

    Since the years 2000, Morocco has seen a strong associative dynamic, in both urban and rural areas. In marginalised rural territories (mountains, oases, steppe, etc.), this infatuation for the associative phenomenon is in phase with two major factors : the partial disengagement of the State and a tendency towards the breakdown of collective action. It is in this context a priori unfavourable for the emergence of practices related to commoning tha…

  • Adaptation et hybridation des communs en territoire Aït Oucheg, Haut Atlas, Maroc

    Open AccessCharles Bonnin, Elouarti Ayoub et al.ARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2021References: 21

    Depuis les années 2000, le Maroc connaît une forte dynamique associative, tant au niveau des zones urbaines que rurales. Dans les territoires ruraux marginalisés (montagnes, oasis, steppes...), cet engouement pour le phénomène associatif entre en résonance avec deux faits majeurs : le désengagement partiel de l'État combiné à une tendance au délitement de l’action collective. C’est dans ce contexte a priori peu favorable à l’émergence de pratique…

  • Cultivated and Fallow Land in the Highlands of Cañar (Ecuadorean South Andes)

    Open AccessMichel Vaillant, Marc Oswald et al.ARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2019References: 12

    On the threshold of the 21st century, Ecuador entered the darkest economic period in the history of its republic, resulting in a vast migratory movement to foreign countries. In the high Andes valley of Cañar, the speed and extent of the movement seemed, in many ways, to be the precursory signs of an exodus and of the environment’s return to nature. A decade later, the agrarian landscape reveals a strange paradox: some sections of the landscape, …

  • Défrichage et enfrichement en haute vallée du Cañar (Sud andin de l’Équateur)

    Open AccessMichel Vaillant, Marc OswaldARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2019References: 10

    Au seuil du XXIe siècle, l’Équateur plongea dans la période économique la plus sombre de son histoire républicaine, à l’origine d’un vaste mouvement migratoire vers l’étranger. Dans la haute vallée andine du Cañar, la promptitude et l’ampleur de ce mouvement avait alors tout du signe avant-coureur de l’exode et du retour du milieu à la nature. Une décennie plus tard, le paysage agraire révèle un étrange paradoxe : certaines unités de paysage, app…

  • Figuier de barbarie ou arganier ? Nouvelles mutations des systèmes agrosylvopastoraux dans une vallée de la montagne des Aït Baamrane (Maroc)

    Open AccessMajda Mourou, Antonin Adam et al.ARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2018Cited by: 1References: 8

    Dans le pays Ait Baamrane (Anti-Atlas marocain), la vallée de Tazrout se caractérise par des conditions agro-écologiques peu favorables à l’agriculture (climat aride, relief accidenté, sols pauvres). Les populations ont pendant longtemps fait face à cette vulnérabilité en tirant parti de ce milieu par une gestion combinée et concertée des ressources agrosylvopastorales et par des mobilités spatiales diverses. Mais les perturbations du XXe siècle …

  • Prickly Pear or Argan Tree? Agrosilvopastoral Systems of a Mountain Valley in Ait Baamrane (Morocco) Face Changes

    Open AccessMajda Mourou, Antonin Adam et al.ARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2018References: 8

    The Tazrout valley, embedded in the Ait Baamrane area (Moroccan Anti-Atlas), is characterized by agro-ecological conditions hardly favorable to agriculture (arid climate, rugged terrain, poor soils). For a long time, people tackled these environmental challenges through the combined and concerted management of agrosilvopastoral resources and of various spatial dynamics. However climatic disturbances during the 20th century have resulted in the st…

  • Archaïsme ou modernité en haute vallée andine du Cañar (Équateur)

    Michel Vaillant, Marc DufumierARTICLETiers-Monde2015

    If modernity meant a type of specialized agriculture, which is moto-mechanized and chemicalized, generating few jobs per surface unit but high value added per work unit, then small family farms in the Andean south of Ecuador, known as minifundias, with their manual tools and their polyculture based on the principles of agroecology would assuredly be characteristically archaic. Nonetheless, when other dimensions than work productivity are taken in…

  • The epidemiology of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in community-living seniors

    Open AccessMagali Perquin, Anne-Marie Schuller et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    By means of the multidisciplinary MemoVie study, new insights into the onset of cognitive impairment during aging should be put forward, much to the benefit of intervention strategies as a whole

  • A hepatitis A, B, C and HIV prevalence and risk factor study in ever injecting and non-injecting drug users in Luxembourg associated with HAV and HBV immunisations

    Open AccessNathalie Removille, Alain Origer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Despite the existing national risk-reduction strategies implemented since 1993, high prevalence of HCV and HBV infections in injecting drug users is observed. Our study showed that implementing risk-prevention strategies, including immunisation remains difficult with PDUs. Improvement should be looked for by the provision of field healthcare structures providing tests with immediate results, advice, immunisation or treatment if appropriate
