Texto completoCape Town is a unique city. It has a global biodiversity hotspot, in the midst of an urban area. Historically, nature conservation practice excluded and marginalized certain groups of people based on their race and class. This has led to peoples&lsquo
disconnection from nature. Rapid biodiversity loss is a major concern for conservators. In the last three decades, there has been a paradigm shift in conservation practice in certain parts of the world. The Cape Flats Nature programme based in Cape Town followed suit and aimed to stimulate a bottom-up participatory approach to conservation and replace the traditional top-down management strategy. The programme was tasked to reconcile the challenges of complex and conflicting relationships between urban poverty, unequal access to resources and biodiversity conservation. This study was aimed at investigating the relationships between conservation management, community partners and urban conservation areas. These relationships are vital for the progression of new conservation practice in places where people live and work. In addition, the transformative aspects of conservation in relation to social inclusion and the shift in conservation approaches was investigated. The study was conducted at five of Cape Town&lsquo
s nature reserves, Edith Stephens Wetland Park, Macassar Dunes, Harmony Flats, Wolfgat and Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserves. Data collection included in depth interviews with key informants from various conservation organizations, the Cape Flats Nature Programme team, the managers of the selected reserves and community partners. Others included observational methods and analysis of secondary data. It was found that relationships between conservators and local communities are not easily created and maintained but relationships regardless of its depth are equally beneficial to communities and the conservators. Balancing social needs with conservation needs is a struggle for conservators but many successes came in cases where this balance was realized. In addition, the transformation of conservators&lsquo
identity has changed community perceptions of conservation practice holistically. Although, many informants feel that transformation continues to remain unequal.

Texto completoThis dissertation explores local people's framing of externally driven biodiversity conservation approaches in the context of transfrontier conservation initiatives. It uses data from the Madimbo corridor, a specific locality within the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area, situated to the northeast of South Africa along the South Africa-Zimbabwe boundary. It shows that livelihoods, historical experiences with external interventions and exclusion from policy-making processes and programme implementation influence local strategies for engaging with external interventions. Thus, an analysis of framing of external interventions at a local level should establish the following: the role of natural resources in sustaining local livelihoods
local historical experiences with an external intervention
iii) the nature of multi-level actor interactions from local resource dependent people, to national, regional and global actors involved in or affected by an intervention. The study uses a detailed case study of Bennde Mutale village to trace local people&rsquo
s ideas, ways of speaking and actions in response to the implementation of a large-scale transfrontier conservation initiative. The study finds that local livelihoods play a central role in local responses to the changes that transfrontier conservation bring upon people's lives. Many see further exclusion, while some also see and hope for a restoration of the socio-cultural border region. The globally significant biodiversity - to be conserved for &lsquo
future generations&rsquo
&ndash
at the same time constitutes the natural resources that sustain local people&rsquo
s livelihoods. Further, local livelihoods are more diverse than is commonly acknowledged in literature advocating for transfrontier conservation. This lack of acknowledgement of local diversification contributes to the main observation made in this study: that current processes of transfrontier conservation end up replicating and re-inventing the multiple forms of exclusion that have characterised state conservation practices for over a century. While transfrontier conservation enables the freer movement of wildlife, it in fact further constrains the movements of people whose mobility within less closely controlled border regions remains centrally important to survival. At the same time, state actors come into the area with contradicting and conflicting demands ranging from the beneficial advocacy role for land rights to the enforcement of conservation through fences and game rangers, experienced as a direct infringement on livelihood possibilities. The study concludes that there is a need to rethink transfrontier conservation interventions. The diversity of local livelihood approaches needs to be considered more centrally and clearer understanding needs to be developed of how the promises of opportunities, betterment of lives and increased human mobility actually unfold in practice. In order to succeed and deliver on site - not only to high-class tourists seeking to view unique biodiversity but to local people - transfrontier conservation efforts need to engage multiple actors directly from the ground up and throughout the process of policy-making, programme conceptualisation and implementation.

Texto completoCommunal land tenure reform in Zambia is the overarching subject of study in this thesis. It is an important issue across southern Africa, raising questions of governance, livelihood security and conservation. WIldlife is a 'fugitive' and 'mobile' resource that traverses the spatially fixed tenure of communal lands, national parks and public forest reserves. The management of wildlife therefore requires that spatially defined proprietorial rights accommodate wildlife's temporal forage use. Land may bebounded in tenure, but if bounded by fences its utility as wildlife habitat is undermined. If land is unfenced, but its landholder cannot use wildlife then it is more a liability than an asset. Africa's terrestrial wildlife has enormous biodiversity value but its mobility requires management collaboration throughout its range, and the resolution of conflicting ecological and economic management scales. The paper does not aim to describe and explain the internal communal system of tenure over land and natural resources but rather how the communal system interacts with the state and the private sector.

Texto completoAt a meeting of worl leaders at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, it was recognized that because of the tremendous increase in the size of the global populations (which now is estimated to exceed six billion), there were concerns that global biodiversity was at risk if insufficient land were not put aside for conservation within formal Protected Areas. The primary aim of this study was to compare investment in Protected Areas in relation to socio-economic conditions at global and regional levels.

Texto completoThe aim of the research was to identify what female and male farmersthink are the best strategies to enhance the role of conservation farming as a buffer against social, economic and environmental hazards, and a means of ensuring livelihood sustainability and food security. The study also aimed at coming up with information useful to policy and other decision makers on how to improve adoption of these technologies. The empirical component of the research included a questionnaire survey of one hundred and fifty two(152) selected households in one identified ward in Insiza District, focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews with key informants and in-depth interviews of individual male and female members of a few selected farming households from the sampled population. The desktop portion of the study used secondary data from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government and other stakeholders involved in conservation farming. Collected data was then disaggregated by gender and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Perception statements that emerged as significant in chi-square tests of independence were be subjected to factor analysis and weighted factor scores from factor analysis were then used as independent variables in binary logistic regression analysis. The study concluded that both practising and non practising farmers were of the opinion that conservation farming was good though they indicated that information on conservation farming was not readily available The study found out that most farmers agreed on the possible positive effects of CA in addressing livelihood challenges effected by hazards such as HIV and AIDS and environmental hazards such as declining soil fertility but it had is labour intensive therefore is not suitable for people affected and infected by HIV and AIDS...

Texto completoVery little protection has been afforded to wetlands1 and estuaries within the South African legislative framework.2 These ecosystems are extremely important and valuable to mankind, the flora and fauna.3 The continued destruction of wetlands and estuaries is the most heinous act of environmental vandalism on a worldwide scale today.4 Wetland and estuarine loss has been accelerated and extended by human activities such as mining,5 urbanisation,6 drainage, river diversion,7 groundwater abstraction as well as climate change.8 Time is running out for so many critically important sites and for the world at large.9 Without wetlands and estuaries the biosphere10 cannot continue to do its essential work.11 Despite, the importance of a range of resources and services12 which wetlands and estuaries provide, these have been taken for granted by humans.13 As a result hereof, the maintenance of wetlands and estuaries has received low priority in many countries.14 This is further precipitated by the lack of interest and ignorance which result in the conversion of wetlands and estuaries into man-made structures.15 Research has shown that the lack of information and the awareness of the importance of these ecosystems has the made the conservation legislation for these ecosystems a toothless dragon.16 People are becoming increasingly aware17 of the loss of wetlands and estuaries, once in abundance and now merely shadows of their former nature.18 To investigate this lack of protection, the starting point would be the global level.

Texto completoBotswana's population and water demand are growing at a high rate particularly in the dry south eastern part of the country. In 1999, a Water Conservation Policy and Strategy framework document was formulated to guide a transition from a supply driven water management approach to water demand management. This study investigated whether there was a disparity between the framework policy and strategy recommendations and their actual implementation.

Texto completoThe water resources management regime has shifted from one focusing almost exclusively on augmenting supply to one where ensuring access, equity and sustainability are an integral part of the process. A growing demand for water and the fact that the amount of fresh water is constant raises the impression of water scarcity will occur. Indications are that the notion of access to water for basic needs as well as access to productive water underpins perceptions of scarcity. This thesis interrogated perceptions of scarcity in a small rural community in order to understand the role water can play in developing sustainable livelihoods.

Texto completoThis study examined three schools
namely a Public, Ex model C, and a Youth juvenile rehabilitation school. A non-experimental survey design was used for this study. The sample consisted of 47 educators across the three types of schools. Data was collected by means of two instruments: a demographic questionnaire, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) consisting of three subscales namely
Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Diminished Personal Accomplishment. It was hypothesised that due to the stressful nature of work in disadvantaged and resource lacking schools, as well as the unstable and unsafe environment in certain schools, burnout among educators in Public and Youth juvenile rehabilitation schools will have a higher prevalence rate than educators in Ex model C schools. The study also aimed to identify which various educator demographic variables correlate with high burnout levels. Correlational results of the study found no significant relationships between the three subscales of the MBI and certain educator demographic variables across the three types of schools. The results of an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test revealed a borderline non-significant difference in the Emotional Exhaustion subscale between the Youth juvenile rehabilitation school and Public schools. Post Hoc comparison tests suggested Public school educators in the sample had the highest levels of burnout in terms of Emotional Exhaustion across the three types of schools, while educators in the Youth juvenile rehabilitation schools showed the lowest levels of burnout in terms of Emotional exhaustion. The results of the present study were discussed from the perspective of the Conservation of Resources theory, suggesting resource depletion as a central facet to burnout and how prolonged stress leads to burnout. Future qualitative studies exploring the etiology of burnout was thus recommended.

Texto completoThis research bases itself on the assumption that all the laws and regulations which ensure the protection and preservation of historical monuments constitutes a model, that is to say a coherent system of rules referring to principles and foundations whose origin, dated by the History, is societal and philosophical. The question being then to assess the validity and the strength of model in the light of the development of our positive law. That is why the first part of the thesis examines the history of the construction of the model since its intellectual foundations born under the Lights and the Revolution, its pragmatic construction by the administration of the nineteenth century, its consecration by the law of 1913 which takes account of the spirit of all the major laws of the Republic and in particular of the disruption induced by the law of separation of Church and State and, finally, of its theoretical and intellectual reorganization by André Malraux and doctrines of the Ministry of Culture. During this period of construction, the model is enriched of new concepts such as the protection of the approaches and is freed of quarrels of the history of art, opting for a design intransigent conservation, which is the cause of the protection of monuments and not reverse. The second part of the thesis is based on the idea that, as it seems today, the concept of heritage tends to transform juridical object of historical monuments in giving priority to the protection and the development of monuments on their conservation. The evolution of ideas, under the influence of globalization and the other European models, and the decentralization which tends to defer on territorial authorities and their owners the care of monuments, include risk reduction of protections to a label, which would condemn the model patiently built. The review of decisions of the judge « driven to the wall of monument", marked by hesitations and contradictory positions, reinforces this feel of a possible ruin of a model which seems topical all legal models created by the republican tradition since more than a century to respond to social issues, economic and cultural of the French society. Reread the model to fit our times is therefore question the fundamental values that should govern its confirmation

Texto completoBarchan fields are geophysical structures with very distinctive features that may be at odds with what is known about single dunes physics, and which mecanisms remain identified. For a theoretist, this system is also very interesting in the sense that it gathers properties and similarities with several domains of statistical physics, and is not bound to observe any global-scale conservation law, which prevents any theoretical prediction of its phase diagram. This thesis presents an agent-based model of the dune field. The numerical study of its phase diagram lead us to describe two distinct stationary dynamics, namely diluted and dense. The analyse of the dense regime gives answers about the real, geophysical mecanisms occurring in the field, in particular its spatial structuration, and the local selection of mean width by density. Also, the exploration of the phase diagram of the model reveals two unstationary, extreme dynamics : a percolation threshold when the system's behavior tends to conservative physics, and a giant dunes instability in the opposite limit, when both forcing and dissipation become huge

Texto completoWe chose the Apistogramma agassizii model to test for rapid, potentially sympatric, speciation in Amazonian cichlids. A. agassizii shares many similarities with Haplochromines cichlids which are remarkable examples of adaptive radiations in vertebrates. Like the Haplochromines, A. agassizii is philopatric, and show: an important colour polymorphism with marked sexual dimorphism, a differential partner selection, and parental care. We sampled 1170 individuals of A. agassizii from 36 popsites (smallest collection unit) located in the Loreto region of the Peruvian Amazon. The genetic variability of A. agassizii throughout the study area was studied using 2 mitochondrial markers (COI and Cyt b) and 10 microsatellite loci.The 1170 individuals was genotyped, of which 104 were sequenced for both mitochondrial markers. A total of 44 haplotypes were obtained from the concatenated sequences. The results revealed 3 vicarious "species flocks" (named, Sp1, Sp2 and Sp3) that would have started to diverge from their most recent common ancestor (MRCA) 1.83 Ma ago (calibration from fossils).The degrees of genetic differentiation of the 3 "species flocks" would be fractally organised according to the hierarchy of the hydrographic network. The values of genetic differentiation (FST estimator θ) that we observed within the "species flocks" had never before been observed on such small geographical scales for a fish in the Amazon (Sp1: 0.04 - 0.37, avg. = 0.16 ± 0.06 (σ); Sp2: 0.08 - 0.40, avg. = 0.17 ± 0.09 (σ)). Thus, large rivers within sub-watersheds, such as the Marañon, Ucayali and Amazon, would constitute the hierarchical level of rank 1. They would limit the dispersion of the 3 evidenced "species flocks" Sp1, Sp2, Sp3, by constituting barriers to genes flow and possible allopatric speciation. The micro-watersheds would constitute the lower hierarchical level of rank 2, with genetic differentiations of variable amplitude structuring the species flocks in sympatry. The term "sympatry" being used here in the broad sense, considering that these micro-watersheds are very close to each other and are connected by a main river on the same bank. Finally, within the micro-watersheds, the streams would constitute the hierarchical level of rank 3 in which proto-species (genetic unit whose speciation process may be reversible) would diverge in strict sympatry, between connected streams, or even within the same stream (within the same popsite or collecting site). We have shown that the evolutionary history of the "species flock" Sp1 had been conditioned by multiple hydro-geomorphological events which would have alternately favoured fragmentation or dispersion events inducing mixtures of populations in secondary contact. Mate choice experiments were carried out taking into account the 3 identified hierarchical levels. At hierarchy level 1 (sub-watersheds), females Sp1 and Sp2 preferentially chose males of their own "species flock" (Sp1: p-value = 0.0005; Sp2: p-value = 0.0029). Mate choice experiment for level 2 (micro-watersheds) and 3 (stream) were carried out within the species flock Sp1. We tested the choice of females by offering them a male from their stream (same micro-watersheds) and a male from a stream in another micro-watersheds. For level 3 we tested the choice of females by offering them a male from their stream and a male from another stream belonging to the same micro-watersheds. In both configurations, females generally showed sexual preference according to male origin, but this could not be tested in sufficient depth to corroborate that sexual selection would play a driving role in the process of sympatric speciation.The evolutionary mechanisms highlighted in the Apistogramma agassizii model could also be involved in the diversification of other Cichlid species, or even other groups of organisms in the Amazon, and partly explain the exceptional species diversity in the world's largest watershed

Texto completoPolymer-based composites with silica particles are an important class of materials. In these systems, an improvement of some of the mechanical properties such as the elastic modulus compared to the neat polymer matrix may occur. The dynamics of polymer chains at the interfaces with the filler particles are one of the mechanisms responsible for this enhancement as shown in recent works on homopolymer-based nanocomposites [1]. Although statistical copolymers are good candidates as compatibilizing agents, there are only few theoretical studies on nanocomposites composed of statistical copolymers focusing on the influence of two types of units, hydrophilic and hydrophobic ones, on the nanocomposite mechanical behavior [2]. From an experimental point of view, this question remains to be adressed. The aim of this work is to describe the local properties of polymer chains at the organic-inorganic interfaces of nanocomposites based on silica nanoparticles and poly(ethylene glycol-ran-propylene glycol), P(EG-ran-PG), which is composed of hydrophobic units (PG) and hydrophilic units (EG). This description includes the nanocomposite microstructure, the local concentration of PG and EG units as a function of the distance with the nanoparticle surface and also the dynamical behavior of chain segments at the interfaces. These studies will be carried out in particular by relaxation experiments in solid-state NMR. The long-term goal of this project is to find some links between these information, obtained at the local length scale, and the mechanical behavior of these nanocomposites. SAXS experiments indicate a similar polymer/silica microstructure for both PEG and P(EG-ran-PG)-based nanocomposites. 1H and 13C solid-state NMR experiments evidence the occurrence of a “glassy” layer [3] at the interfaces including immobilized copolymer chain segments. Moreover, the presence of PG hydrophobic units seems to slow down the reorientational motions of EG units which translates an increase of the interactions between silica nanoparticles and the copolymer chain segments.

Texto completoIn this thesis, we consider nonclassical problems brought out by the macroscopic modeling of pedestrian flow. The first model consists of a conservation law with a discontinuous flux, the second is a mixed hyperbolic-elliptic system of conservation laws and the last one is a nonlocal equation. In the first chapter, we use the Hughes model in one space-dimension to represent the evacuation of a corridor with two exits. The model couples a conservation law with discontinuous flux to an eikonal equation. We implement the wave front tracking scheme, treating explicitly the solution nonclassical behavior at the turning point, to provide a reference solution, which is used to numerically test the convergence of classical finite volume schemes. In the second chapter, we model the crossing of two groups of pedestrians walking in opposite directions with a system of conservation laws whose flux depends on the two densities. This system loses its hyperbolicity for certain density values. We assist to the rising of persistent but bounded oscillations, that lead us to the recast of the problem in the framework of measure-valued solutions. Finally we study a nonlocal model of pedestrian flow in two space-dimensions. The model consists of a conservation law whose flux depends on a convolution of the density. With this model, we solve an optimization problem for a room evacuation with a descent method, evaluating the impact of the explicit computation of the cost function gradient with the adjoint state method rather than approximating it with finite differences

Texto completoOrgan and tissue transplantation is affected by a shortage of grafts, leading to enlargement of donor criteria. Consequently, these new marginal organs are more susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). IRI increases primary graft dysfunctions and contributes to increase graft immunogenicity and consequently the occurence of acute and chronic rejection. Our objectives were : firstly, the necessity to limit I/R damages and preserve graft integrity, secondly, the importance to reduce graft immunogenicity and control the graft rejection while maintaining an immunocompetent recipient. To limit IRI we evaluated the new SCOT preservation extracellular type solution containing PEG 20kDa 30g/L in a murine model of pancreatic islets isolation and transplantation. The improvement of conservation with SCOT permitted to maintain the islets integrity and to reduce graft immunogenicity, due to the immunoprotective properties of PEG 20kDa (effects obtained with PEG 20kDa at 10 to 30g /L). In this same model our second objective was to establish a peripheral immunological tolerance of the graft by transient depletion of alloreactive T cells. This depletion of T cells in division was induced at the time of islet allotransplantation by an administration of an inducible nucleosidic analogue during 14 days. Transient alloreactive T cells depletion induced a dominant immunotolerance marked by the emergence of a persistent regulatory T cells CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ population. Thus, regulation of homeostatic balance between effector and regulatory T cells could open an interesting way to control the immune reaction against allograft

Texto completoIn this doctoral work we start by exposing a synthesis of the weak Willmore immersions formalism. To that end, we introduce conservation laws and exploit them to recover the epsilon-regularity theorems, as well as an innovative weak regularity result. We then present a study of the conformal Gauss map and its links with the Willmore surface notion. From this, we deduce an exchange law for residues as well as an original caracterization of surfaces that are conformal transforms of constant mean curvature surfaces. We then apply these tools to sequences of Willmore immersions. We first show that they are not compact wth a first instance of concentration for Willmore surfaces. However, relying upon an epsilon-regularity result based on a small control on the mean curvature, we show compactness below a given threshold

Texto completoPrey rely on escape decisions when confronted with predators to maximize the benefits of staying put while reducing the costs of predation. This life history compromise can be reflected by flight initiation distance (FID), the distance at which an individual takes flight when approached by a human. I addressed potential factors explaining variation FID with data from bird species in Europe. Genetic variability was related to predation risk FID; threatened bird species generally had a longer FID than non-threatened closely related species; evolutionary distinctiveness (ED), an indicator reflecting the phylogenetic isolation of taxa, was positively related to FID in waterbirds; mean FID of different species of birds was positively correlated with species-specific levels of MDA (malondialdehyde which is an index of oxidative stress) and UA (uric acid, which is a metric of antioxidant capacity) and FID increased with flock size in gregarious species but not in non-gregarious species. These findings may contribute to the understanding of the causes and consequences of interspecific differences in anti-predator escape behavior of birds, and, more importantly they may provide means for resolving conservation problems. Key words: body mass, brain size, effective population size, phylogenetic linear model, oxidative stress, social behavior

Texto completoSpatial Conservation Planning is a scientific-driven procedure to identify cost effective networks of areas capable of representing biodiversity through time. This conceptually simple task accommodates sufficient complexity to justify the existence of an active research line with more than 20 years already. But costefficiency and representation of biodiversity is only part of the whole challenge of Spatial Conservation Planning.The recognition that Nature operates dynamically has stimulated researchers to embrace the additional challenges of developing methods to make conventional (static) conservation approaches more dynamic and therefore increase the chances that biodiversity are preserved in the longer term. In this thesis, I present a set of tools to assist spatial conservation decision-making and address issues such as uncertainty and spatial dynamics of species ranges. These two topics are particularly relevant in the context of ongoing climate changes. I start by investigating two connectivity paradigms for the identification of conservation areas. In the first, a distance-based approach is applied for the identification of areas representing a set of species. In the second, I present a conceptual framework based on the analysis of environmental similarity between protected areas. The framework seeks to identify effective spatial linkages between protected areas while ensuring that these linkages are as efficient as possible. Then, I introduce a methodology to refine the matching of species distributions and protected area data in gap analysis. Forth, I present a comprehensive assessment for the expected impacts of climate change among European conservation areas. Finally, I address a framework for cost-efficient identification of the best areas that, in each time period, assist species’ range adjustments induced by severe climate changes. There exists a wealth of theoretical insight and algorithmic power available to ecologists. This thesis took advantage of it and (I hope) it offers useful guidance for genuine biodiversity protection.

Texto completoToday, electrical systems are becoming increasingly important in the air, rail and automotive sectors.The immediate consequence of this progress is the miniaturization of systems (converters) requiring very important cooling means. Whereas conventional cooling solutions are reaching their limit, an alternative one can be sought in two-phase loops based on the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid, in particular two-phase loop thermosyphon. The objective of this thesis is twofold : to propose a detailed model of a two phase loop thermosyphon as well as a reduced model able to calculate the variables at any location of the loop at any time with a much smaller computing time. First, the equation of the transient one-dimensional compressible one-phase and two-phase fluid flow is solved using the explicit Euler method of order 1 and the finite volume method. The liquid-vapor mixture is modeled as a homogeneous mixture at mechanical and thermal equilibrium. The closure laws of the model are deduced from the "Stiffened Gas" state laws. For the reduced model, an extension of the modal identification method is proposed. The structure of the reduced model is first determined carrying out the Galerkin projection of the continuous conservation equations.Then the parameters of the model are identified by the resolution of an optimization problem. The reduced model thus constructed is then validated on several cases with different dynamics

Texto completoLooking closely at the legal tools and other levers for preserving biodiversity, it would seem that invertebrates, in particular insects, are in a minority, or absent. This observation is all the more paradoxical when we know that 2/3 of the biological diversity consists of insects. How does this diversity, essential for the functioning of the ecosystems, find itself in the dead angle of conservation?The first answer that is usually put forward is lack of technical tools to study these small and relatively elusive animals. Getting to know and use new technical methods for the detection and the study of insects is more than ever necessary. Indeed, these levers will facilitate the study of these animals, and will thus increase knowledge, which will lead to developing more adequate conservation strategies. We shall evoke two approaches in particular: detection with molecular tools and use of statistical models to explore the potential distribution of the species.But knowledge is also based on what society asks for. Public interest orients the tools of protection and preservation of biodiversity. Among invertebrates, disparities exist, favoring the “big blue butterflies” over the “small brown dipterans”. A simple coincidence? No. Actually, the decisive factor to unlock the preservation of insects rests in human beings and how they perceive this biodiversity. Using a conservation psychology approach, we will explore how the general public perceives insects. We will also draw on participatory action research to see how various conservation actors can be committed towards preserving a group of ordinary insects: coprophagous beetles. Our aim is to propose ways to raise awareness, educate and engage society to this major issue: preserving entomofauna

Texto completoThis work has identified, tested and improved simplified flood routing models to verify the advantages and disadvantages presented. The solutions provided by these models were tested by using a full hydrodynamic model considered in this work as an ideal result. The simplified hydrodynamic models used were: A variable parameter kinematics wave model, the Muskingum-Cunge flood routing model, the variable parameter Muskingum-Cunge flood routing model (three and four points scheme) the Muskingum-Cunge modified by Todini (MCT) and the model IPHS1. The full hydrodynamic model used was HEC-RAS. It was also proposed a procedure to represent the effect of the floodplain rivers. To evaluate the behavior of different flood routing models numerical tests were created and were applied to then. The characteristics of synthetic inflow hydrographs, the characteristics of riverbed and floodplain, and the criteria for temporal and spatial discretization were perturbed. The evaluation of the results was made through the errors of conservation of volume, peak flow and time of occurrence of peak flow. Moreover, it was also considered, in some tests, applicability criteria recommended by some authors for different models, such as models of kinematic flood wave and diffusive flood wave. The results show that the Muskingum Cunge Todini, modified to represent the effect of the floodplain flow is very promising. Finally, it is also shown that this model closely approaches the full Saint Venant equation solution (HEC-RAS). The others models were worse than HEC-RAS and MCT. About applicability criteria, it recommends the use of the Δx three times smaller than the value suggested by Fread. Moreover, the simplified hydrodynamic models can be used outside limits of applicability suggested by Ponce about kinematic and diffusive wave.

Texto completoOrgan shortage is a major limitation for transplantation, then since 2005 the use of deceased after cardiac arrest donors (DDAC) became legal in France. However these organs undergo severe ischemia-reperfusion injury, partly due to stasis activated coagulation. Micro-thrombi impair a correct reperfusion of the implanted organ. Conversely activated renal endothelium is the cause of an amplification of coagulation. This leads to increased production of proinflammatory molecules via the PAR (protease-activated receptors) activation by coagulation factors IIa and Xa. In this work we have used a severe in vivo ischemia-reperfusion model and tested the effect of inhibitors of Xa and IIa on the outcome of renal autotransplantation. One of these synthetic molecules was an anti-Xa heparinoid, while the other was acombined of direct anti-IIa + anti-Xa heparinoid. The pre-clinical model included a sequence of warm ischemia followed by a cold storage 24 h at 4°C in UW, mimicking what happens in DDAC. The use of both molecules during peri-preservation was followed by a reduction of fibrosis and inflammation, known to cause long term kidney loss. In an in vitro model, we have shown that beneficial effects of the combined anti IIa-Xa could be the consequence of a reduction in endothelial activation and subsequent inflammation. We conclude that anti Xa, and anti Xa-IIa, use during organ conservation, is beneficial for kidney function and survival and that they may be used as protectors against chronic renal dysfunction

Texto completoThis work analyses the economic consequences of the loss of biodiversity, more precisely of genetic resources (rg). This loss of diversity prooves the necessity of in-situ (natural park) and ex-situ (gene banks) conservation. The focus is on this second type of conservation that is used for the gr conservation. The final objective is to define a conservation organisation compatible with the maximisation of collective utility. If it's clear that there is an interest increasing, some questions still remain : what should be conserved and how ? what financing should be chosen ? to answer these questions, this work is shared in three parts : 1. We present an introduction of the conservation as it is now. The combination cost advantage risk is one of the most important factor of decvision. So it's necessary to analyse the economic analyses of decision in uncertain future. 2. We study thoroughly the "option value" models developed by c. Henry in 1974 and we propose a more general model. It is prooved that the irreversibility concept is too limitative. This might involve mistakes in the decision's rule. 3. These results constitute the base of a sequential model of decision to explain the organisation of gr conservation. We make some simulations to define the good interval for conservation and what type of conservation is recommended as well as

Texto completoThe most used preservation method in renal transplantation is hypothermic cold storage (CS). However, this method induces damages inherent to the ischemia/ reperfusion (I /R) syndrome.My study was aimed at identifying new grafts preservation conditions, to limit I/R damage, by varying storage temperature or by adding an oxygen carrier.We used two models: in vitro with endothelial cells and in vivo in pig renal autotransplantation. The results confirmed the deleterious effects of 4°C storage in contrast to conservations at 19°C, 27°C and above 32°C, resulting in improved metabolic activity, cellular viability and integrity as well as a significant reduction in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Then we demonstrated the benefits of a new oxygen carrier, M101, in the two most used preservation solutions, UW and HTK. Indeed, use of M101 in CS protocols improved short-term function recovery and reduced fibrosis development, main cause of graft loss. Finally, we have shown that the benefits of M101 were preserved at lower doses and we determined that this protection was due to a multifunctionality of the molecule, combining oxygen transport, superoxyde dismutase activity and a large size (regulating oncotic pressure). This work permitted the uncovering of new concepts towards improved organ preservation and quality for transplantation
