In recent years, and particularly since the 2017 national health strategy, prevention has become one of the priorities in the French healthcare system. It's important to understand why this theme has emerged to the point of changing the title of the Ministry of Health, which is now called the Ministry of Health and Prevention. It is also essential to see how the entire healthcare system, and above all the care system, can mobilize to develop prevention in our country, and thus enable our fellow citizens to live as long as possible in good health., (Copyright © 2024.

Concevant le savoir démographique comme une ressource symbolique pour le discours national, cet article analyse la façon dont les données statistiques ont produit des imaginaires nationaux. Il interroge pour cela le tableau que les statisticiens allemands ont peint de la France au XIXe et XXe siècle. Autour de 1900, une baisse du taux de natalité, phénomène que l'on croyait français, est identifiée en Allemagne et nourrit alors un scénario de menace nationale. Dans un même temps, les statisticiens mesurent une menace démographique à la frontière orientale du Reich allemand. L’article défend l'idée selon laquelle ce regard tourné vers l’est est façonné par le regard statistique sur l’ouest.

The predominance of Whiteness, and the corresponding lack of representation of people who are both racialized and minoritized, in the governance of universities is a political issue. We present the results from an intersectional diversity audit of central and senior academic administrators at five Canadian universities: Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, University of Victoria and York University. Our findings indicate that racialized men and women are hitting ceilings in the middle administrative ranks. Conversely, we find a notable overrepresentation of White men and women in the senior administrative ranks. Our analysis suggests that White women, unlike racialized women and men, no longer face serious barriers to representation within these senior ranks. These findings raise concerns about processes of racialization that may impede career progress for some but accelerate it for others. They raise concerns about the politics of who lifts whom into the echelons of academic decision making, which in turn has implications for justice, knowledge and social meanings of competency.

Introduction: The constant increase in life expectancy for over 170 years is one of the biggest achievements of modern society. In Germany the probability of an 80-year-old person becoming 100 years old has increased by a factor of 20 since the 1950s. This fact has various implications for the clinical routine and therapeutic guidelines. In addition to the quantitative factors (e.g. complications, recurrence rate), the quality of life (QoL) as a patient-centered subjective factor should be taken into consideration in the treatment options for hernia repair. To compare heterogeneous cohorts of patients regarding the QoL, a standardization based on representative reference values is absolutely essential. Material and methods: The study was based on data from the follow-up of 310 patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair at the surgery department of the University Hospital Rostock. The preoperative clinical examination of the patients and a questionnaire were supplemented by a postal follow-up survey postoperatively at a median of 20 months (follow-up rate 66%). Patient pain level was assessed by a visual analogue scale (VAS) and health-unspecific QoL by the EQ-5D questionnaire. Standardization of the EQ-5D was based on a survey on a normative German reference population. Results: Analysis of the patients in the various treatment arms showed significant differences in age composition and health states (American Society of Anesthesologists, ASA scores) of the patient cohorts. A comparison of the QoL between the two mesh-based procedures, the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedure and the Lichtenstein procedure, showed that complete recovery is possible after 6 months. A slight decrease in the QoL of the Lichtenstein cohort patients was ascertainable, which can be explained by the method and the higher age of the group. Taking the differences in age of the two groups into account led to a change of the QoL outcome. Conclusion: The concept of QoL is currently becoming increasingly more important in the assessment of treatment procedures. When comparing several therapeutic procedures, a standardization must be undertaken to take the heterogeneity of patient cohorts into consideration. Analogous to the relative survival in cancer epidemiology, the measured QoL scores should be put in the relationship to the age and sex-specific reference of the general population in order to demonstrate the actual effect of the disease in question and its treatment.

Le but de ce travail est de réfléchir sur les raisons de la baisse de la natalité en France depuis un demi-siècle. En s'appuyant sur les données de l'INSEE, sur les thématiques comportementales sociétales et environnementales qui ont bouleversé notre histoire, on constate que les couples ont moins d'enfants, certes, mais que le niveau d'exigence extrême face à ce désir d'enfant est-tel, que le recours à la PMA explose, les techniques sont de plus en plus sophistiquées ouvrant les débats de bioéthiques. Parallèlement, une véritable révolution sociale s'écrit, il devient de plus en plus difficile de trouver « le » partenaire, un célibat « Boom » fait son chemin sur le terrain de l'individualisme. Analyser l'impact de ces thématiques sur le désir d'enfant, ses conséquences sur la démographie de la population, et sur les enfants à naître. L'épidémiologie renseigne sur l'évolution de la population, sa croissance et sa distribution, alerte sur les modifications de notre santé procréative. En ½ siècle, les femmes en âge de procréer sont moins nombreuses et le désir d'enfant est plus tardif source d'infertilité liée à l'âge. La transformation des modèles familiaux, des normes sociales et comportementales, l'environnement plus menaçant avec des effets Trans générationnels expliquent la chute de la fertilité. The aim of this work is to reflect on the reasons for the decline in the birth rate in France over the past half century. Based on INSEE data, on the social and environmental behavioural themes that have disrupted our history. We can see that couples have fewer children, admittedly, but that the extreme level of demand for this desire for children is such, that the use of PMA is exploding and the techniques are more and more sophisticated, opening bioethical debates. At the same time, a real social revolution is being written, it is becoming more and more difficult to find "the" partner, a "Boom" celibacy is making its way in the field of individualism. Analyses the impact of these themes on the desire for children, its consequences on the demography of the population, and on the children to be born. Epidemiology provides information on population change, growth and distribution, alerts on changes in our reproductive health. In the 1/2 century, there are fewer women of reproductive age and the desire for children is a later source of age-related infertility. The transformation of family models, social and behavioural norms, the more threatening environment with transgenerational effects explain the drop in fertility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La population du Présahara et du Sahara atlantique marocain a connu de profonds changements dans une période ne dépassant pas quelques décennies où elle est passée d’une société totalement rurale à une autre principalement urbaine. Ce passage était accompagné par une évolution graduelle des informations démographiques qui reflétaient ce changement initié par les autorités coloniales française et espagnoles. Ces sources d’informations s’amélioraient en termes de qualité et de quantité après l’indépendance. Cet article a pour objectif de retracer l’évolution de ces sources, la qualité des informations produites lors des périodes : précoloniale, coloniale et après l’indépendance.

Der vorliegende Essay betrachtet den aktuellen Zulauf zu rechten Politikangeboten aus Sicht einer kritischen Stadtforschung. Mit Blick auf demographische Prozesse – insbesondere Binnenmigration – reflektiert er die These, dass rechte Ideen und Gruppierungen vor allem in ländlichen ‚abgehängten Gebieten‘ eine hohe Zustimmung finden, während als ‚kosmopolitisch‘ und ‚modernisierungsbefürwortend‘ beschriebene großstädtische Lebenswelten dafür weniger empfänglich seien. Unter Bezugnahme auf deutsche wie amerikanische Debatten wird dafür plädiert, die Verräumlichung politischer Einstellung stärker dynamisch und relational zu konzeptualisieren und ein Augenmerk auf kleinräumige Differenzierungen innerhalb von Städten und Regionen zu richten. Damit richtet sich der Blick auf das emanzipatorische Potential des Munizipalen als politischer Bezugsgröße jenseits des Nationalstaates

This paper studies how the reform of weights of Manuel I, king of Portugal, unfolded. Some key documents overlooked, until now, by the historians of metrology illuminate the early days of the reform. In a letter of May 1503, the king announced the delivery of the new standards to the municipalities and scheduled the entry into force of the new system for January 1504. Municipal documents tell us that the manueline standards were already being delivered in July 1503 and that the new system did come into force in 1504. In the following decades, as the documentation shows, the manueline rules remained in force and the regional authorities sought to ensure their application. It is also known that many municipalities were given exemptions from adopting the standards, considering their smallness, poverty or lack of trade. Crosschecking the recently elaborated inventory of manueline weight piles with data from the 1527-1532 administrative and demographic survey of the whole kingdom allows for a more substantial analysis of how this process unfolded. More than the global population and size of a municipality, it was the population and importance of its chief urban center that mainly influenced on the decision of acquiring a manueline pile.

The family typology and the main variables that register natural dynamics have experienced great changes since the eighties of the last century, showing new behaviors that, together with the importance of external migratory flows, respond to the parameters of the so-called Second Demographic Transition. Analyzing the intensity of these transformations and the different rhythms that they have followed from a territorial perspective at provincial and municipal level are the objectives of this work, for which we have resorted to an extensive review of the statistical sources available since 1985 and its mapping, highlighting the provincial contrasts and the particularities of the urban and rural areas. Based on the study of nuptial behavior and the increase in divorce, as well as the growing importance of new family models, the loss of relevance of natural growth has been recorded in relation to the migratory balance in the recent evolution of the population, confirming the consolidation of a demographic regime whose main defining variables are already similar to those registered in Western Europe.
