La compatibilité de l'islam aux démocraties occidentales et l'intégration des musulmans dans les sociétés européennes préoccupent aujourd'hui politiques et citoyens. Les défis incontestables de la cohabitation côtoient dans l'arène médiatique les enjeux fantsamés de la présence musulmane. On constate ainsi une réduction de la question musulmane à la visibilité de ses expressions dans l'espace public, avec pour conséquence un détournement de l'attention des paris réels de la sédentarisation des musulmans en Suisse et en Europe. Peut-on être musulman et européen ? Peut-on être une femme musulmane 'libre' ? Peut-on intégrer les musulmans au multiculturalisme helvétique ? Ce sont là quelques questionnements qui jalonneront la réflexion de cette ouvrage.

Over the last several years, lawmakers have been responding to several highly publicized child abduction, assault and murder cases. While such cases remain rare in Iowa, the public debates they have generated are having far-reaching effects. Policy makers are responsible for controlling the nature of such effects. Challenges they face stem from the need to avoid primarily politically-motivated responses and the desire to make informed decisions that recognize both the strengths and the limitations of the criminal justice system as a vehicle for promoting safe and healthy families and communities. Consensus was reached by the Task Force at its first meeting that one of its standing goals is to provide nonpartisan guidance to help avoid or fix problematic sex offense policies and practices. Setting this goal was a response to the concern over what can result from elected officials’ efforts to respond to the types of sex offender-related concerns that can easily become emotionally laden and politically charged due to the universally held abhorrence of sex crimes against children. The meetings of the Task Force and the various work groups it has formed have included some spirited and perhaps emotionally charged discussions, despite the above-stated ground rule. However, as is described in the report, the Task Force’s first set of recommendations and plans for further study were approved through consensus. It is hoped that in upcoming legislative deliberations, it will be remembered that the non-legislative members of the Task Force all agreed on the recommendations contained in this report. The topics discussed in this first report from the Task Force are limited to the study issues specifically named in H.F. 619, the Task Force’s enabling legislation. However, other topics of concern were discussed by the Task Force because of their immediacy or because of their possible relationships with one or more of the Task Force’s mandated study issues. For example, it has been reported by some probation/parole officers and others that the 2000 feet rule has had a negative influence on treatment participation and supervision compliance. While such concerns were noted, the Task Force did not take it upon itself to investigate them at this time and thus broaden the agenda it was given by the General Assembly last session. As a result, the recently reinstated 2000 feet rule, the new cohabitation/child endangerment law and other issues of interest to Task Force members but not within the scope of their charge are not discussed in the body of this report. An issue of perhaps the greatest interest to most Task Force members that was not a part of their charge was a belief in the benefit of viewing Iowa’s efforts to protect children from sex crimes with as comprehensive a platform as possible. It has been suggested that much more can be done to prevent child-victim sex crimes than would be accomplished by only concentrating on what to do with offenders after a crime has occurred. To prevent child victimization, H.F. 619 policy provisions rely largely on incapacitation and future deterrent effects of increased penalties, more restrictive supervision practices and greater public awareness of the risk presented by a segment of Iowa’s known sex offenders. For some offenders, these policies will no doubt prevent future sex crimes against children, and the Task Force has begun long-term studies to look for the desired results and for ways to improve such results through better supervision tools and more effective offender treatment. Unfortunately, much of the effects from the new policies may primarily influence persons who have already committed sex offenses against minors and who have already been caught doing so. Task Force members discussed the need for a range of preventive efforts and a need to think about sex crimes against children from other than just a “reaction- to-the-offender” perspective. While this topic is not addressed in the report that follows, it was suggested that some of the Task Force’s discussions could be briefly shared through these opening comments. Along with incapacitation and deterrence, comprehensive approaches to the prevention of child-victim sex crimes would also involve making sure parents have the tools they need to detect signs of adults with sex behavior problems, to help teach their children about warning signs and to find the support they need for healthy parenting. School, faithbased and other community organizations might benefit from stronger supports and better tools they can use to more effectively promote positive youth development and the learning of respect for others, respect for boundaries and healthy relationships. All of us who have children, or who live in communities where there are children, need to understand the limitations of our justice system and the importance of our own ability to play a role in preventing sexual abuse and protecting children from sex offenders, which are often the child’s own family members. Over 1,000 incidences of child sexual abuse are confirmed or founded each year in Iowa, and most such acts take place in the child’s home or the residence of the caretaker of the child. Efforts to prevent child sexual abuse and to provide for early interventions with children and families at risk could be strategically examined and strengthened. The Sex Offender Treatment and Supervision Task Force was established to provide assistance to the General Assembly. It will respond to legislative direction for adjusting its future plans as laid out in this report. Its plans could be adjusted to broaden or narrow its scope or to assign different priority levels of effort to its current areas of study. Also, further Task Force considerations of the recommendations it has already submitted could be called for. In the meantime, it is hoped that the information and recommendations submitted through this report prove helpful.

[spa] La financiación es uno de los aspectos de la Renta Básica en que más se ha avanzado en los últimos 10 o 12 años. Por Renta Básica aquí se entenderá en todo momento un ingreso pagado por el estado a cada miembro de pleno derecho de la sociedad o residente, incluso si no quiere trabajar de forma remunerada, sin tomar en consideración si es rico o pobre, o dicho de otra forma, independientemente de cuáles puedan ser las otras posibles fuentes de renta, y sin importar con quien conviva. Diversas e interesantes investigaciones para ámbitos geográficos distintos han hecho acto de aparición y han alimentado un vivo debate acerca de las formas de financiar la Renta Básica. La Renta Básica puede ser pagada por parte de distintas instituciones públicas. La propuesta de financiación de la Renta Básica a la que se refiere este artículo consiste en una reforma en profundidad del actual Impuesto de la Renta de las Personas Físicas (IRPF). El estudio opta por este camino porque se ha tenido acceso a datos individualizados del IRPF de Cataluña, pero también porque este impuesto es especialmente útil para apreciar, por ejemplo, la redistribución resultante de la renta. Está basado en un programa de microsimulación específicamente diseñado para este objetivo, aplicado sobre una base de datos provenientes de una muestra de 110.474 declaraciones del IRPF de Cataluña, para evaluar diferentes opciones de políticas de integración de impuestos y prestaciones que incluyan una Renta Básica. Este estudio muestra que la reforma propuesta es viable en términos económicos y que el impacto en la distribución de la renta sería muy progresivo, como después se especificará.

M. myotis and M. blythii are two sibling species of bats that live sympatrically over wide areas of the Western Palearctic region, and which often coexist intimately in their nursery roosts. According to the principle of <<limiting similarity>> this cohabitation should imply an interspecific ecological differentiation. The hypothesis of a niche separation at the trophic level is tested here. The fecal analysis of 300 droppings collected from a zone of sympatry shows a clear interspecific differentiation in diets : M. myotis eats mostly Carabidae (Coleoptera), whereas M. blythii captures essentially Tettigoniidae, Gryllidae and Acrididae (Orthoptera). Because they consume exclusively terrestrial arthropods, M. myotis and M. blythii are typical ground and/or grass gleaning bats. However, despite their narrow niches they are probably not specialized in the predation of only some definite categories of prey. The narrow diets probably reflect the high specialization of their modes of resource exploitation: M. myotis and M. blythii prey upon ground arthropods and they are likely to select for different foraging;g habitats. M. myotis probably prefers wooded feeding grounds (Carabidae) whereas M. blythii exploits herbaceous habitats (Orthoptera). The strong trophic segregation observed in sympatry between M. myotis and M. blythii shows that the interspecific competition is distinctly much weaker than the intraspecific one. This would explain the stable, intimate co-existence of these two virtual competitors.

Objetivos: Los objetivos de este estudio fueron: 1) analizar las desigualdades de género en la salud en la población asalariada, de 25 a 64 años, casada o que vive en pareja en Cataluña y 2) examinar las desigualdades de género en la relación entre las exigencias de la esfera doméstica y familiar, las horas de trabajo remunerado y la salud.Métodos: Los datos proceden de la Encuesta de Salud de Cataluña de 2006 (ESCA 2006). La población analizada fueron hombres y mujeres entre 25 y 64 años, asalariados y que convivían en pareja (N =4.537). Las variables dependientes fueron el estado de salud percibido, la salud mental, el consumo de psicofármacos y las horas de sueño. Las variables explicativas fueron el número de horas de trabajo remunerado, número de personas en el hogar, la convivencia con menores de 12 años, la convivencia con personas entre 65 y 74 años, la convivencia con personas mayores de 74 años y, tener una persona contratada para realizar trabajo doméstico.Resultados: Convivir con menores de 12 años se asoció negativamente con mala salud y con consumo de psicofármacos en las mujeres; que el consumo de psicofármacos en mujeres estaba relacionado positivamente con la convivencia con personas entre 65 y 74 años y con la convivencia con mayores de 74 años (aOR: 2,60; 95% IC: 1,41-4,80 y aOR: 2,93; 95% IC: 1,58-5,44 respectivamente) y en los dos sexos los largos horarios de trabajo se asociaron con problemas de salud mental aunque en mayor proporción en hombres.Conclusión: La combinación de las exigencias familiares y las horas de trabajo remunerado se asocia con diversos indicadores de salud con diferentes patrones en hombres y en mujeres.

We review the progress in the field of front propagation in recent years. We survey many physical, biophysical and cross-disciplinary applications, including reduced-variable models of combustion flames, Reid's paradox of rapid forest range expansions, the European colonization of North America during the 19th century, the Neolithic transition in Europe from 13 000 to 5000 years ago, the description of subsistence boundaries, the formation of cultural boundaries, the spread of genetic mutations, theory and experiments on virus infections, models of cancer tumors, etc. Recent theoretical advances are unified in a single framework, encompassing very diverse systems such as those with biased random walks, distributed delays, sequential reaction and dispersion, cohabitation models, age structure and systems with several interacting species. Directions for future progress are outlined

Ecological speciation and its hallmark, adaptive radiation is a process from which most of the current biodiversity derives. As ecological opportunity allows species to colonise unoccupied niches, natural selection drives adaptive phenotypical change. In this thesis, I begin by describing how this evolutionary process acted on the evolution of the clownfishes. During its infancy, this iconic group of coral reef fishes developed a mutualism with sea anemone species. I show how this event triggered the evolutionary radiation of the group, generating species that now inhabit diverse habitats of the coral reefs. Following the appearance of the mutualism, the diversification of the clownfish was catalysed by hybridisation events which shuffled genes, allowing hybrids to reach new fitness optima. While the clownfishes appeared in the region of the coral triangle, a lineage colonised the eastern shores of Africa. I reconstructed the geographic history of the group and showed that this event lead to the rapid appearance of new species, replicating the evolutionary patterns of the original radiation. To better grasp the mechanisms of ecological speciation, I conducted analyses at the population level and identified similar evolutionary patterns than found at the clade level. I discuss how such result suggests a continuity bridging micro- and macroevolution, which so far only been theorised. In parallel to this study case, I question whether biotic and abiotic interactions can promote or restrain ecological speciation. Indeed, I show how the ecological setting of species can drastically impact on their diversification dynamics. Moreover, tradeoffs can occur between specialisation made on different ecological axes allowing species cohabitation. Overall, I show in this work that regardless of the few simple rules that explain the mechanism of ecological speciation, the unavoidable interactions with the ever changing ecological context lead diversification events to give always a different outcome. It is thus primordial to account for the ecological settings of species when discussing their evolutionary dynamics. LA SPÉCIATION ÉCOLOGIQUE RACONTÉE AU TRAVERS DE L'ÉTUDE DE L'ÉVOLUTION DES POISSONS-CLOWNS ET DE QUELQUES AUTRES Le phénomène de spéciation écologique est à l'origine de la majeure partie de la biodiversité que l'on rencontre aujourd'hui. Au fil des opportunités qu'elles rencontrent, les espèces colonisent l'espace écologique laissant la sélection naturelle forger leur phénotype moyen. Malgré l'omniprésence de ce phénomène dans la nature, beaucoup de questions qui lui sont relatives restent à élucider. C'est afin de mieux comprendre ce mécanisme que j'étudie les poissons-clowns, célèbres habitants des récifs coralliens. Dans ce travail, je démontré que le développement du comportement mutualiste liant les poissons-clowns aux anémones de mer fut l'événement qui déclencha leur diversification. Suite à ce premier événement, j'illustre comment l'hybridation entre lignées primordiales a remodelé la diversité génétique du groupe et catalysé leur radiation évolutive. Je poursuis en reconstruisant l'expansion géographique des poissons-clowns au cours du temps depuis le triangle de corail, leur lieu d'origine, jusqu'aux côtes d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Afin d'affiner ces analyses générales sur le groupe, je continue en étudiant plus finement des populations d'une seule espèce de poisson-clown. Cette fine résolution me permet de comprendre plus précisément quels sont les facteurs écologiques qui permettent aux poissons-clowns de se différencier. Les résultats de ces analyses suggèrent qu'il est important de comprendre les liens entre le contexte écologique et la diversification des espèces. J'étudie cette question dans la seconde partie de ce travail en montrant que l'hétérogénéité du paysage ou les liens entretenus avec un partenaire mutualiste influencent fortement la dynamique évolutive des espèces. Finalement, j'illustre les compromis que chaque espèce réalise en se spécialisant ou non dans ses interactions avec l'environnent. Plus généralement, je souligne dans ce travail l'influence du contexte écologique sur le résultat de la spéciation écologique. Ce sont ces interactions entre les organismes et leur environnent qui sont à l'origine de l'incroyable diversité de la vie. Il est donc primordial de les prendre en compte lors de l'étude de l'évolution des espèces.

Résumé: Le département de Gaya, cadre de notre étude, est situé au sud-ouest de la république du Niger. Il dispose d'un important potentiel hydrique composé des eaux de surface (une centaine de mares permanentes, le fleuve Niger sur 106 km) et de sept aquifères superposés comprenant des nappes de subsurface (affleurantes par endroit) et des nappes artésiennes. L'étude sur les usages de l'eau à Gaya a été menée à travers plusieurs axes centrés sur l'estimation et la répartition spatiale des ressources en eau, le cadre juridique et institutionnel régulant leur mise en valeur, les différents secteurs d'utilisation de l'eau ainsi que les contraintes affectant cette utilisation. L'usage de la cartographie à travers les SIG dans le traitement et l'analyse des données, couplée à notre expérience d'une dizaine d'année de travaux dans la région, a permis de dresser des synthèses richement illustrées permettant de mieux comprendre tous les enjeux liés à la problématique des usages de l'eau dans cette partie du Niger. Contrairement à la vision que l'on a traditionnellement du Sahel où le manque d'eau constitue une des contraintes majeures au développement, ici des conditions locales particulières contredisent ce cliché et transposent le débat sur un autre plan. Il s'agit de la maîtrise de l'eau au niveau local à travers l'élaboration d'une politique appropriée qui tienne compte non seulement des spécificités locales de la ressource, mais aussi des différents types d'usages. La politique de l'eau au Niger, définie selon le Schéma directeur de mise en valeur et de gestion des ressources en eau, à travers la mise en place d'un important arsenal juridique et institutionnel, a eu le mérite de tracer un canevas sur la question, mais a montré ses limites au niveau pratique après dix ans d'essai. En effet au niveau de Gaya, ni l'Etat ni les partenaires au développement (bailleurs de fonds extérieurs) n'ont tenu compte des caractéristiques locales de la ressource ou du contexte socioéconomique particulier de la région. Ce qui a entraîné la réalisation d'infrastructures inadaptées aux réalités hydrogéologiques locales ainsi que des choix inappropriés au niveau de certains aménagements. En dépit de l'abondance de la ressource, son accès tant au niveau quantitatif que qualitatif, reste difficile pour une grande partie des acteurs ruraux. Les différents handicaps rencontrés dans la mise en valeur des ressources en eau résultent de cette incohérence de la politique nationale de l'eau, mais aussi de la difficulté de son application sur le terrain où persiste un pluralisme juridique caractérisé par la cohabitation de deux systèmes de régulation à savoir les droits coutumiers et la législation moderne. Ces différents éléments mis en évidence dans cette étude sur la zone de Gaya pourraient servir de base pour un meilleur aménagement des ressources en eau dans le cadre plus large d'une politique d'aménagement du territoire prenant en compte tous les facteurs tant physiques que socioéconomiques de la région. Abstract: The department of Gaya, in which this study was done, is located in the SW area of the Republic of Niger. It has an important hydrological potential composed of surface water (approximately 100 permanent ponds, 106 km of the Niger River) and 7 bodies of underground water sources including sub-surface and artresan wells. This study of the exploitation of wtaer in Gaya has been carried out employing several parameters based on: the estimation and spacial distribution of water ressources, the juridic and institutional rules governing their utilisation and the various constraints affecting this exploitation. The use of mapping when treating and analysing data, coupled with ten years personel field experience, resulted in a richly illustrated synthesis of this data. This, in turn, led to a better comprehension of all the factors related to problems of water utilisation in this particular region of Niger. Contrary to the generally accepted view that the lack of water ressources is a major contributing factor to the lack of development in the Sahel, in Gaya the local conditions contradict this statement. In this region, and at the local level, the proper use of water is based on the elaboration of an appropriate policy which takes into account not only the local specifics of water ressources but the various types of water utilsation as well. Local use of water and water ressources are dependant on established rules. Water policy in Niger is defined by the General Schema based on an important institutional and judicary arsenal of rules and regulations. However, after a ten-year trial period, this system was shown to have its limitations. In Gaya, neither the State nor the development agencies took into consideration local characteristics nor the socio-economic context of the region. This, in turn, resulted in putting in place infrastructures that were not adapted to local hydrogeological realities as well as inappropriate choices in land planning and development. In spite of the abundance of water ressources, access to them remains difficult for most of the rural population. The various difficulties encountered are the result of incoherent water policies on a national level as well as the lack of practical application in this area. This is due to a double judicary system where two regulatory systems co-exist:traditional laws and modern legislation. the different elements brought out by this study could serve as a basis for a better utilisation of water ressources on a larger scale in which land planning and development policies would take into consideration all the physcial as well as the socio-economical factors of this region.

Après s'être longtemps focalisée sur l'individu, la littérature consacrée à la mobilité résidentielle a mis en exergue l'importance de prendre en compte les ménages comme unité d'analyse. En s'intéressant à des couples appartenant aux classes moyennes supérieures et s'étant installés en zone urbaine centrale, cet article aborde la construction du choix résidentiel entre conjoints et leurs motivations. Différents arbitrages relatifs à la localisation sont identifiés selon qu'ils portent sur des problèmes de mobilité (réels ou anticipés), la conciliation entre carrière professionnelle et vie familiale, l'attachement territorial, l'appartenance linguistique (la ville étudiée étant bilingue) et la bi-résidentialité (ou non-cohabitation). Des logiques de genre sont identifiées. Bien que plus marquées parmi les couples âgés, elles représentent une variable importante pour expliquer l'organisation conjugale et se répercute sur le choix résidentiel de différentes manières.

Tibau do Sul est une commune littorale du Rio Grande do Norte connue pour sa Praia da Pipa, un ancien village de pêcheurs entouré de plages spectaculaires, devenu un haut lieu du tourisme balnéaire dans le Nordeste brésilien. Située à la limite d'une zone de plantations sucrières, la station est fréquentée par des villégiateurs issus de l'élite agraire locale depuis le début du XXe siècle. Toutefois, ce n'est que dans les années 1970-80 que le tourisme se développe véritablement sous l'impulsion de jeunes surfeurs attirés par ses vagues, ses beaux paysages et « l'authenticité » de sa population autochtone. A l'époque, l'attitude subversive de ces jeunes voyageurs - inspirés de la contre-culture brésilienne - contraste de manière radicale avec le style paternaliste des élites villégiatrices. Pour la population locale, l'irruption du tourisme ouvre un nouveau champ de possibilités économiques, sociales et politiques. Elle coïncide par ailleurs avec une série d'autres transformations à l'oeuvre dans la région : le déclin des plantations, la modernisation de l'activité maritime, le développement des institutions municipales. Cette conjonction de facteurs encourage l'émergence d'une petite bourgeoisie autochtone impliquée dans les cercles de pouvoirs locaux et capable de négocier avec les étrangers attirés par le tourisme. A mesure que l'activité se professionnalise et s'internationalise, de nouveaux acteurs investissent la commune : agents immobiliers, entrepreneurs, investisseurs internationaux, résidents secondaires européens, travailleurs immigrés, écologistes, institutions publiques, etc. Il s'enclenche alors une cohabitation inédite entre des groupes socialement et culturellement très hétérogènes. A la fois conflictuelle et créatrice, cette configuration induit un certain nombre de frictions qui se manifestent aussi bien dans les rapports fonciers et les luttes environnementales, que dans les activités culturelles, les médias locaux et la politique municipale. A contre-courant des interprétations réductrices présentant le tourisme tantôt comme une forme de « néo-colonialisme », tantôt comme une « recette miracle » pour le développement, l'enquête ethnographique souligne toute l'ambivalence du phénomène touristique. À l'instar de la « situation coloniale » analysée par Georges Balandier (1951), la situation touristique est envisagée comme une configuration sociale fondée sur l'interdépendance entre les acteurs, historiquement déterminée, mais jamais acquise à l'avance. Dans le cas de Tibau do Sul, l'étude révèle l'influence déterminante des structures sociales et foncières - héritées des modes de production antérieurs (la paysannerie, la pêche et les plantations sucrières) - sur la trajectoire touristique des communautés du littoral.
