Effect of occupational exposure to welding fumes and noise on heart rate variability
Introduction Welding fumes (WF) are a complex mixture of gas and particles. Action of occupational exposure to WF on cardiovascular system has been recently studied as for noise. Research question The main objectives of our study are therefore to evaluate the impact of exposure to WF, noise, and combined WF and noise on autonomic nervous system as assessed by heart rate variability (HRV). Methods The study groups were 16 welders and eight airport…

La philosophie antique comme soin de l’âme
La philosophie antique peut être conçue comme soin de l’âme dans la mesure où les passions dont elle nous détourne sont susceptibles de nous faire souffrir. L’antiquité affirme d’une seule voix que l’homme en lequel la raison domine est plus sain que celui qui s’abandonne à la pente naturelle de ses désirs, de sorte qu’il est effectivement possible de parler d’une philosophia medicans. Le bien rationnel promettrait donc finalement davantage de bo…
Ecole et technocratie
Jan Marejko mène une profonde réflexion sur la destination du désir. Tandis qu’Œdipe reste nostalgique de la plénitude du lien maternel, la maturité consiste au contraire à en faire le deuil au profit de la loi paternelle. Mais le système technocratique offre une troisième possibilité, que Jan Marejko appelle hystérie. Cette orientation hystérique du désir vers des satisfactions immédiates transforme profondément la pratique éducative, et écarte …
Maritime workers and their global health
The maritime industry is one of the most significant contributors to globalisation as this sector accounts for 90% of global trade. As shown by the SARS CoV-2 pandemic and the Ukrainian crisis, rapid geopolitical changes and national and international regulations have a strong impact on maritime workers’ occupational exposure patterns. In the maritime sector, most [...]
Occupational Exposures and Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of cancer death worldwide. In France, Brittany is one of the regions most seriously affected. This increased incidence is usually linked to high rates of alcohol overconsumption and smoking, established risk factors for esophageal cancer, but the region has special occupational exposures. We aim to describe the occupational exposures of patients with esophageal cancer. Between June and October 2020…
Hearing Impairment in French Merchant Seafarers
Background: A high level of occupational noise exposure has been noted in the fishing sector. Yet, less is known regarding other navigation groups, such as merchant seafarers, since a French study in the 1980s. This study assesses hearing impairment (HI) in a French merchant seafarers’ population. Methods: We collected data of all audiograms performed in 2018 and 2019 for French merchant seafarers. For each seafarer, hearing ability was measured …
Evolution of Global Health and Psychosocial Factors among Hospital Workers during First Year of Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic impacted negatively the mental health, work stressors, and psychosocial perceptions of both HCW and non-HCW in a French hospital. The study confirms that hospital workers are an important target

Un dossier consacré à Joseph de Maistre vient de sortir, qui se présente comme une véritable encyclopédie de tout ce qui évoque la pensée du célèbre détracteur de la révolution française. Ce volume conçu et dirigé par Philippe Barthelet est impressionnant d’exhaustivité, et donne un aperçu de l’influence considérable que Joseph de Maistre a su exercer sur la pensée européenne. Il apparaît que Saint-Simon, Auguste Comte, Baudelaire, Bloy, Valéry, …
Health Impact and Psychosocial Perceptions among French Medical Residents during the Sars-CoV-2 Outbreak
This study compared the impact on mental health and the psychosocial perceptions of medical residents and healthcare workers (HCWs) in a hospital after the first peak of the SARS-CoV2 outbreak in France. A validated version of the SATIN questionnaire with a modified scoring system was used to collect data on health and psychosocial factors. This questionnaire was sent to all workers at the hospital in July 2020 and was self-administered online. U…
International migration and the Rainbow Nation
Recent statistics suggest that emigration from South Africa is accelerating while documented immigration remains at low levels. Primary analysis of a 10% sample of the overseas‐born in South Africa from the 1996 census confirmed that Black immigrants to South Africa were shown to be predominantly unskilled males, who were no better qualified than the Black population in general. This contrasts with the apartheid era when South Africa built up a s…
Rapid Rural Appraisal
Principles of ethnographic research, rural sociology, and interpersonal communication formed the basis of a collaborative study between Mexican and/or Hispanic and U.S. undergraduates. Students from both cultures learned to apply principles of qualitative research under the direction of faculty from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey and Ohio University. Rapid rural appraisal, a methodology appropriate for multidiscip…
Branch Migration and the International Dispersal of Families
Branch Migration and the International Dispersal of Families
This paper discusses the dispersal of facilities where family members migrate to different destination countries. Terminology for internationally dispersed families is proposed, and the term branch migration is suggested for the migration of related people from the same source country to different destination countries. Data from two 1993 surveys of senior secondary students show that 22% of Sydney students and 20% of Hong Kong students have rela…

Sterilization in Canberra
The discussion in this article uses data from the 1979 Canberra Population Survey to assess the degree and nature of the resistance to the use of sterilization particularly male sterilization. In the 1979 Canberra Population Survey respondents were asked what methods of contraception they would recommend to a couple who had completed their family. About 2/3 recommended sterilization with vasectomy a more popular 1st choice particularly for male r…
Sterilization in Canberra
In contrast to the USA and the UK, vasectomy is less popular than tubal ligation in Australia, and this may reflect differences in husband-wife communication. Using data from the 1979 Canberra Population Survey, it seemed that although a majority of respondents would use sterilization, female sterilization would be preferred, largely because males were more resistant to the idea than females. Respondents born outside Australia, the UK, and Eire w…
Australian family planning surveys
This paper assesses the Australian data on the current use of family planning during the 1970s. The problems of comparing the results of various surveys, and of reconciling these results with Department of Health statistics, are discussed. In spite of an unfortunate lack of comparability between the various sources, the switch from oral contraceptives to sterilization is well-marked. Whereas the IUD has maintained its popularity, natural methods …
Some remarks on the paper by A. Okore, ‘Rural—urban fertility differentials in Southern Nigeria
In his paper Okore(1) critically examines the view of Olusanya and Ekanem that, partly because of shorter periods of breastfeeding and abstinence associated with 'modernization', urban fertility exceeds rural. Unfortunately, the proponents of this view have produced very few hard data on durations of breast-feeding and abstinence.(2)

Fertility and Family Planning in the South Pacific
Discusses fertility and family planning in 18 countries of the South Pacific Region. There are great problems in comparing vital statistics and family planning data from areas with very varied administrative traditions. However it is clear that in a number of these countries fertility has declined substantially because of the expansion of family planning services in the 1960s and 70s. In other countries family planning has had either little impac…

Language Differences and the Family Planning Survey
Transthoracic impedance spectroscopy (TIS) measurements from wearable textile electrodes provide a tool to remotely and non-invasively monitor patient health. However, breathing and cardiac processes inevitably affect TIS measurements, since they are sensitive to changes in geometry and air or fluid volumes in the thorax. This study aimed at investigating the effect of respiration on Cole parameters extracted from TIS measurements and developing …
