IMPERIALISM , *FRANCO-Prussian War, 1870-1871 ,FRENCH politics & government ,FRENCH history - Abstract
During the era of New Imperialism, the French state had the daunting task of convincing the French public of the need to support and to sustain an overseas empire. Stemming from its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and hoping to regain its former global position, the French state set out to demonstrate the importance of maintaining an empire. Since the vast majority of the French people were apathetic towards colonial ventures, the French state used the 1889 Parisian Universal Exposition not only to educate the French about the economic benefits of the empire, but to entertain them simultaneously so that they would begin to accept the notion of an interconnected Greater France. This exposition contained a group of colonial exhibits in which indigenous colonial subjects, whom the expositions' organizers handpicked to come to France, showcased their daily lives and interacted with the visiting public. Visitors witnessed the daily routines of indigenous cultures and took away from the exhibits a greater understanding of those who lived in the colonies. However, the vast majority of the French public who visited the expositions did not experience a shift in their mindset and favored the continuance of a colonial empire. Until they could personally see an impact of the colonies onto their daily lives, the French public remained indifferent toward the French state's colonial ventures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the methods of ethnological museums in terms of their ways of presenting exhibits. Two examples of exhibits shown at the Musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires, a French museum of popular arts and traditions, are examined in this article. The challenges that the French ethnological museum Musée national des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée (MUCEM) is facing are addressed.

The article focuses on the Museum of Corsica, on the island of Corsica, France, which was created in June 1997, with the rich collections gathered by Father Doazan, and its evolution. Originally showing exhibitions of agricultural and pastoral communities, the museum opened its range of interests to modernity. The general public is given access to social, economic and cultural analysis. Other exchanges will take into account the Mediterranean context of the museum.

- Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to quantify parabens intake due to drug administration in neonates during hospitalization following their birth., Method: A monocentric prospective study was performed into a neonatalogy unit to collect all drug prescriptions. An exhaustive list of parabens containing medicines commercialized in France was completed from Theriaque® database. This list was combined with drug prescription to establish an exposure profile to parabens. For each paraben containing medicines, a HPLC-UV assay was performed to determine the average daily intake of paraben received by hospitalized neonates., Results: More than 300 medicines commercialized in France contain at least one paraben. A combination of methylparaben and propylparaben was found in most cases. All hospitalized neonates (n=22) were exposed at least once to methylparaben and propylparaben through medicines while 50 % were exposed to ethylparaben. The average daily intake was higher in term newborns (572,0±249,0 versus 414,6±294,1μg/kg/j for methylparaben) but frequency was higher in prematures (65,0 versus 78,6% for methylparaben) as well as cumutives doses (1421,5±758,8 versus 8618,7±7922,3). These doses are lower than toxicological reference values but these latter do not take into account endocrine disrupting effects of these compounds., Conclusions: These results highlight medicines as a high source of exposure to parabens in hospitalized neonates. It should encourage pharmaceutical companies and health professionnal to prioritize therapeutic cares without parabens., (Copyright © 2020 Académie Nationale de Pharmacie.

- Abstract
Objectives: Aluminum-containing vaccine adjuvants stimulate an adequate immune response to vaccination. The safety and rapid elimination of these molecules, a guarantee of their safe use for several decades, have been challenged by a growing number of studies over the last 20 years. Evaluation of exposure to aluminum adjuvants of an individual is thus essential. The current review answers the following questions: what is the exposure of aluminum adjuvants of an individual vaccinated in France? What are the factors of variation?, Methods: To evaluate the immunization exposure to aluminum for a vaccinee in France, we used the 2018 vaccination schedule and the Social Security database for vaccines reimbursed that year. French mandatory and recommended vaccines for an individual who does not travel abroad and has no particular professional obligations have been taken into account., Results: Our results show that an individual following the vaccination requirements and recommendations of 2018 receives between 2545 and 7735μg of Al
3+ during his lifetime, and at least 50% before the age of 1year. Exposure varies with age, weight, sex, and choice of administered vaccines., Conclusion: Vaccines with higher doses of aluminum are mainly injected at the beginning of life. Women receive a proportionately larger dose than men. The most reimbursed vaccines are often those with the highest amount of aluminum salts., (Copyright © 2020 Académie Nationale de Pharmacie.

- Abstract
The sources of exposure during diseases due to Aspergillus fungi in cystic fibrosis patients are still poorly explored. We assessed home fungal exposure in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis and analysed its impact on the presence of Aspergillus biological markers, the colonisation of airways, as well as the sensitization and Aspergillus serology. Between March 2012 and August 2012, 34 patients benefited from a visit performed by a home environment medical adviser including sampling for mycological analysis. The number of colonies of Aspergillus was not significantly different in the various sampling sites (P=0.251), but the number of non-Aspergillus colonies was much higher in the kitchen (P=0.0045). Subsequently, home fungal exposure was compared between the groups "absence of Aspergillus-related markers" and "presence of Aspergillus-related markers". Home exposure to Aspergillus (P=0.453) and non-Aspergillus (P=0.972) flora was not significant between the 2 groups. Within this series of 34 patients that should be expanded, we note an absence of clear relationship between home exposure and the Aspergillus-linked markers in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. This result should be taken into account regarding too restrictive hygiene advices provided to families, given the fact that fungal exposure can also results from activities performed away from home., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.
