In the Peruvian Amazon, a significant amount of the agricultural landscape is cultivated with cocoa (Theobroma cacao) mostly grown under the shade of Musacea and timber trees. There, deforestation and its control are one of the main environmental issues for the Peruvian government and further, for the international community. In these landscapes, farmers who want to establish new plantations have the choice between tropical forest and degraded lands. Most of the latest are abandoned pastures or annual crops with mostly red ferralitic soils heavily unsaturated. As a response to the loss of fertility, farmers have currently two alternatives: entering illegally into the natural forest or practicing shifting cultivation on a long term basis that can reach more than 15 years. In this last case, the fallow lands, locally called "Purma", are named under three categories according to the height of the pioneer vegetation: (i) low (10 years). Our study has been conducted with former coca farmers moved 20 years ago by the Peruvian government to the Ucayali department to produce cocoa. There, we compared soil quality, cadmium content and plant biomass including fine roots at 0-20 and 20-50 cm depth, among three land uses: (i) 31 agroforestry cocoa plantations at different ages, (ii) 24 low, 24 medium and 22 high "purmas", and finally (iii) 22 forest patches as a control. Our results provide an interesting basis to discuss the ability of cocoa-based agroforestry systems to maintain and even restore soil fertility in degraded landscape at the Amazonian forest margin. The evolution of Cadmium content depending on land use and fallow period gives interesting indications for further investigations.

This proceedings of a workshop held at the Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies, California, in April, 1986, combines the information on modeling, satellite imagery, experimental hydrodynamics and field observations, active migrations and larval transport, distribution and transformation of stable isotopes, ecosystem budgets, and sedimentology, all towards understanding movements and exchange of all kinds of matter between adjoining waters. The organizers of the meeting (SCOR Working Group 65) assessed the extent of knowledge regarding the interdependence of adjoining coastal and offshore waters, to see how they contribute to, and benefit from, each other's nutrient supply and biological productivity. A summary chapter discusses present gaps in our knowledge, concepts for future research, and major difficulties in quantifying the total mass of matter exchanged between adjoining bodies of water

"Am Beispiel der 'interdisziplinär' konzipierten Zeitschrift 'Volk und Rasse' wird die Transformation völkischen und rassistischen Gedankenguts in 'wissenschaftliche' Thesen und Forschungsprogramme rekonstruiert. Ihre 'Theorien' in denen die NS-Ideologie ihre wissenschaftliche Bestätigung fand, waren bereits 1933 weitgehend ausformuliert. Sie verdankten ihre rasche Verbreitung vor allem der seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts unter Hochschullehrern gängigen Auffassung, daß individuelle, volks- und kulturspezifische Merkmale von den Faktoren 'Blut' und 'Boden' determiniert seien. Diese Überzeugung, verbunden mit der Kritik an Verstädterung, Rationalismus, Parlamentarismus und deren 'Zufallserscheinungen' moderner Industriegesellschaften, schuf die Voraussetzungen für die Akzeptanz bevölkerungspolitischer und rassenhygienischer Theorien und somit auch für die politische Programmatik des Nationalsozialismus."

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology of 2009 A/H1N1 influenza in critically ill pregnant women. DESIGN Population based cohort study. SETTING All intensive care units in Australia and New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS All women with 2009 H1N1 influenza who were pregnant or recently post partum and admitted to an intensive care unit in Australia or New Zealand between 1 June and 31 August 2009. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. RESULTS 64 pregnant or postpartum women admitted to an intensive care unit had confirmed 2009 H1N1 influenza. Compared with non-pregnant women of childbearing age, pregnant or postpartum women with 2009 H1N1 influenza were at increased risk of admission to an intensive care unit (relative risk 7.4, 95% confidence interval 5.5 to 10.0). This risk was 13-fold greater (13.2, 9.6 to 18.3) for women at 20 or more weeks' gestation. At the time of admission to an intensive care unit, 22 women (34%) were post partum and two had miscarried. 14 women (22%) gave birth during their stay in intensive care and 26 (41%) were discharged from an intensive care unit with ongoing pregnancy. All subsequently delivered. 44 women (69%) were mechanically ventilated. Of these, nine (14%) were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Seven women (11%) died. Of 60 births after 20 weeks' gestation, four were stillbirths and three were infant deaths. 22 (39%) of the liveborn babies were preterm and 32 (57%) were admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Of 20 babies tested, two were positive for the 2009 H1N1 virus. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy is a risk factor for critical illness related to 2009 H1N1 influenza, which causes maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. ; The ANZIC Influenza Investigators registry is supported by the Department of Health and Ageing, Commonwealth Government of Australia; New South Wales Health, Government of New South Wales; Department of Health, Government of Victoria; the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre; the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society; and an unrestricted grant from CSL, Melbourne, Victoria.

International audience ; L'apothéose du 20 vendémiaire couronne le culte qui s'est développé autour de la figure de Rousseau dès avant 1789, mais auquel la Révolution donne une tonalité particulière. Qu'ils l'aient mal compris ou allégué à contre-sens, les révolutionnaires se sont reconnus dans l'auteur du Contrat Social, perçu comme la charte du monde nouveau. La rencontre avec Rousseau se greffe sur la dévotion « sensible », inspirée de la souffrance endurée sous un ordre injuste, et se fait à l'époque autour de l'idée morale de régénération, quand surgit avec la liberté le mythe de l'homme nouveau dont il est tenu pour l'inspirateur charismatique 1. Nathalie Robisco a montré comment en 1789, avec l'édition de la seconde partie des Confessions, s'établit un rapport personnel, empreint d'affectivité, où dominent les thèmes du « pèlerinage » aux lieux où il a vécu et médité, de la « rencontre » et de la « présence » de Rousseau, à travers les correspondances et les témoignages de ceux qui l'ont connu. Ce travail de la mémoire qui réhabilite l'auteur des Confessions comme « une figure de la sensibilité » permet d'élaborer, avec la fondation de la République, un discours sur « Rousseau révolutionnaire », auteur du Contrat Social et d'Émile, reconnu comme « phare des législateurs » 2. La panthéonisation de Rousseau, qui se tient dans la période trouble qui suit Thermidor, est une fête ambiguë, mais une grande fête nationale à la manière de celles de l'an II. Quel rapport cet ultime rendezvous du philosophe et de la Révolution entretient-il avec les enjeux politiques et culturels du « moment thermidorien » ? Dans quelle mesure la pensée de Rousseau peut-elle s'apparenter à la mutation des représentations et à la réflexion sur les institutions et la morale publique ? On peut se demander aussi dans quelle mesure la fête dépasse les enjeux conjoncturels pour tendre vers une synthèse de la rencontre avec Jean-Jacques Rousseau, dans le sentiment éphémère d'un bonheur partagé.
