The aim of the present study was to verify the occurrence of oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus) and Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) from Brazil, and also evaluate the hydric transmission of the coccidium and the influence between this pathogen and the staff involved directly in captive animal care and management. Fecal samples were collected from 34 Antillean manatees, 12 Amazonian manatees and also 21 employees involved in the management activities. Water samples, used to the manatees consumption and management were also collected. The fecal samples were processed by sedimentation in formol-ether and Kinyoun technique. Before the water samples were processed, this was submitted to a filtration process in membrane (diameter of 47 mm, porosity of 3 μm) under negative pressure. At the end of the analyzing operations, the positive samples were submitted to the Direct Immunoflorescence Test. The results obtained by light and fluorescence microscopy analysis showed alcohol-acid-resistant structures compatible with oocyst of Cryptosporidium spp. in 25% (34/136) and 4,30% (05/115) of thematerial proceeding from Antillean manatees and Amazonian manatees, respectively; 23,80% (10/42) of the material obtained from the employees; and 66,67% (04/06) of the water samples analyzed. The results showed the possibility of Antillean manatees and Amazonian manatees could become infected with Cryptosporidium spp., and participate in the epidemiology of this waterborne disease by eliminate of viable oocyst in water environment wich can infect man and a wide range of domestic and wild animals. The hand of the frequency of Cryptosporidium spp. in staff involved directly in captive animal care and management could be the way to prevent the infections the manatee’s species.
O objetivo neste trabalho foi verificar a ocorrência de oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em peixes-boi marinhos (Trichechus manatus) e peixes-boi amazônicos (Trichechus inunguis) no Brasil, além de avaliar a transmissão hídrica deste coccídio e a sua influência com os funcionários diretamente envolvidos no manejo dos animais mantidos em cativeiro. Para tanto foram coletadas amostras fecais provenientes de 34 peixes-boi marinhos, 12 peixes-boi amazônicos e 21 funcionários envolvidos em atividades de manejo, bem como amostras de água superficial destinada a manutenção e consumo dos animais. As amostras fecais foram processadas através da sedimentação pelo formoléter e coradas pela técnica de Kinyoun. No que concerne as amostras de água, estas foram submetidas ao processo de filtração em membranas (47 mm de diâmetro e 3 μm de porosidade) sob pressão negativa. No final das análises, as amostras positivas foram submetidas ao Teste de Imunofluorescência Direta. Os resultados obtidos namicroscopia de luz e fluorescência revelaram oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em 25% (34/136) e 4,30% (05/115), sendo inerentes respectivamente aos peixes-boi marinhos e amazônicos, 23,80% (10/42) do material proveniente dos funcionários e 66,67% (04/06) das análises de água. Os resultados finais apontam a possibilidade dos peixes-boi marinhos e peixes-boi amazônicos infectarem-se com Cryptosporidium spp., e participar da epidemiologia das doenças veiculadas pela água, através da eliminação de oocistos viáveis ao ambiente que podem infectar o homem e um grande número de animais domésticos e silvestres. O controle da freqüência de infecções de Cryptosporidium spp. nos funcionários diretamente envolvidos no manejo e cuidados dos animais mantidos em cativeiro pode ser um dos caminhos para prevenir a infecção nas espécies de peixes-boi.

Full textThis study aims at analyzing the creative works by Nicole Cage-Florentiny as the expression of the dolorous and ambivalent relationship between the Antilles, the Caribbeans and the World. We explore how this female writer from Martinique anchors her writing in the complexities and multiformities of the Antillean identities. This quest leads her to break the pact of silence and defend Black African femininity in its confrontation with both a patriarchal environment and the violence directed towards women and the family structures.While claiming Aimé Cesaire’s legacy and connection to Africa, Nicole Cage-Florentiny dwells on Edouard Glissant’s Antillean-ness as a means to connect men and women from Antilles with their new land, and reveal their common connection to the Spanish, French and Creole languages. In other words, through these languages, and particularly through the diverse connection to the African continent, Spain and the picaresque models of the peninsular literature, and through magic realism of the Creole language, Nicole Cage-Florentiny offers the Caribbeans the tools of re-territorialization.In short, this study underlines how Edouard Glissant’s “Poetic of Relation” informs Nicole Cage-Florentiny’s writing and her desire to connect diverse aspects of the “forgotten history” of the Caribbeans, her way to reconquer memories between land and sea, and rebuild a poetic of Antillean-ness defined as an interrelation between languages, races and identities, an interrelation between Antillean-ness, Hispanity and Caribbeanness

Full textWithin the framework of functionalism, this dissertation is a historical comparative research that aims at bringing a contribution to the establishment of relatedness between three French-based Creoles (Haitian, Antillean (Guadeloupe/Martinique) Louisianan and the varieties of colonial French. The predicative syntagm of the three Creoles are compared on one hand and on the other hand a comparison is established with the varieties of colonial French. The corpus is compound of two kinds of texts: the texts showing the early stage of the Creole languages and the documents showing the language state of Colonial French. The Creole documents extend from a period that starts from 1671 to 1850, 1804 and 1867 respectively for Guadeloupe / Martinique, Haiti and Louisiana. The TMA system, negation, serial verbs, the copula and the expression of passivity are studied. The choice of the topics was based on the great interest observed towards them in specialized literature

Full textThe Antillean Flora is one of the most diverse on our globe. However, despite floristic work for centuries recent studies show that there are still blank areas. This is especially the case in the family Orchidaceae, which, in the case of the Cuban Flora, has been reviewed more than half a century ago for the last time. The work presented here is based on the long pending revision of the genus Pleurothallis R. Br. for the Flora de Cuba. Adding further morphological, palynological, molecular, and ecological data this study is aimed at the reconstruction of the Greater Antillean Pleurothallis flora. The archipelago comprises more than 70 species of this genus, with a differing diversity on the particular islands; Cuba accommodates 39 taxa, Jamaica 23, Hispaniola 40 and Puerto Rico 11. The centre of diversity lies within the triangle E Cuba - Jamaica - W Hispaniola, a region that accommodates about 95% of the Greater Antillean species. 75% of the taxa are confined to just one island. Since most of the plants are either endemic or are of pan-Caribbean distribution floristic relationships among the islands and with regard to neighbouring continental areas remain rather indistinct. The strongest affinities are with Central America. Floristic relationships with that area increase from E towards W. Molecular and (micro-)morphological data show a clear pattern of historical phytogeography. Concerning their origin there are 3 groups of species. 25% of the Greater Antillean taxa are widespread in the Pan-Caribbean area, with the majority of the island populations having their origin presumably on the Central American continent. Another 25% are derived from Central American ancestors too, however, they have evolved into new species on the islands in the course of migration. The remaining 50% of the Greater Antillean taxa are autochthonous. They are the result of adaptive radiation on the archipelago. Intense cladogenesis is confined to 3 lineages within Pleurothallis. They belong to the subgenera Antilla Luer and Specklinia Lindl. (2 lineages). The majority of speciation events shows an allopatric pattern. Sympatry during speciation could be detected in a single case only. Allopatric speciation has resulted into 2 types of vicariance, spatial geographic and geological. Indeed, 80% of the Cuban endemics are associated with a single type of rock, serpentine in most cases. In contrast, W Hispanola where many sister taxa of Cuban pleurothallids live, is formed almost exclusively by limestone. In many cases, geographic vicariance is therefore geologically defined, a surprising association in epiphytic orchids. Geological vicariance, in turn, may have been brought about by pollinator distribution rather than by physiological adaptation to the geological environment. Migration to petrologically different localities seems to be the main trigger for speciation in Cuban Pleurothallis. This process was most probably started with a small number of individuals that met conditions of a founder event. Apart from the geologically rich background in the triangle E Cuba - Jamaica - Hispaniola there are other specific local conditions that are responsible for the rich diversity. Caribbean hurricanes provide a powerful means of transport along their main routes. They should be responsible for frequent migrations from the Central American mainland to the archipelago and between the islands. Moreover, the mountains within the triangle are in close spatial neighbourhood and meet favourable climatic conditions for the colonisation of small epiphytes. Molecular data from the Cuban species of Pleurothallis yielded valuable information for the current discussion concerning the morphological (Luer) and molecular classifications (Pridgeon & Chase) of the subtribe. These data support the new molecular based system to a great extent, however, they show new inconsistencies with respect to monophyly in some of the new or resurrected taxa. Considering that the Caribbean Flora belongs to the ten global hot spots, due to its diversity on the one and the loss of primal vegetation on the other side, it was a goal of the present thesis to impart a detailed picture of the genesis and distribution of Antillean orchids. Bearing in mind the political value of orchids in conservation these data can be used directly for the organisation and management of Caribbean nature reserves.

Full textChildhood as a theme in literature emerges in the second half of the 19th century and asserts itself as an autonomous literary genre in the following century. This achievement is the fruit of numerous stories having been published by various publishers around the world. If there is no doubt in the fact that the latter is now one of the major genres in European countries, one might wonder about its place and its specificity in French-speaking communities. The aim of our study is to focus on Caribbean Literature in particular from the Antilles (Martinique-Guadeloupe). Childhood stories enable writers to reflect on their past and furthermore to approach and tackle issues of their society. Is it for them a pretext or a need? Patrick Chamoiseau points out, in Antan d’enfance (1990), the first part of a trilogy, the origins of West-Indian’s (Caribbean-Antilles) orality which is in a state of crisis due to the development of the city. In Le coeur à rire ou à pleurer, Maryse Condé describes her childhood in the Caribbean bourgeoisie, marked with the assimilation of her parents, rooted in a colonial society. For his part, Daniel Maximin, in Tu c’est l’enfance (2004), deals with a Caribbean society with a rich historical background, which in spite of having been geographically devastated by natural calamities, recover and forge ahead. We get to see a society which resist in a world where life is possible and hope is still alive despite of all these calamities. It seems that childhood stories, more than other genres, act like a mirror that the writers tend towards the readers for them to understand the society of the former, and its historical evolution, thus reflecting one among other images of the Caribbean’s (Antilles) society. Furthermore, this enables questions relative to colonization, slavery, the identity, the language. In a society like the Caribbean one, where the question of identity is a key one due to its historical baggage, childhood stories, by adopting the naïve point of view of a child, allow to say much more than other literary genres can, and thus tackle and secure acceptance of usually upsetting questions and subject matters.Key words : Autobiographie - story - childhood – slavery - creole

Full textFor long time the west indies have been the theater of an european literature which has expressed his fantasm, her ideology and his power through the negro's slavery, her assimilation to the french political system and the subdivision of his territory on the french model. What can be the view of teir country when the negroes are entitled to have the floor ? it's necessary to answer to this question by analysing some of conditions' creating literature : political aspects by the definition of assimilation concept; socio-cultural aspect by the analysis of different points of view on isles in the european culture : those of the school-books, those of the fench literature (from the primitivism and exotic literature to the publicity one) which proposed some images and myths of isles in the french (or european) culture. It's necessary to analyse after wards some aspects of the discours antillais : her nature as an european opposition of talking, her preoccupation, and homeland ethnography, her ambition, and identity and political discourse. It's necessary to write the criticism of the important aspects of the antillan discoruse by the analysis of daniel maximin's novels and works. He show's that it's more important for the caribbean not to write an antillan discourse but just to write some good and artistic works

Full textThe present study has a twofold objective : on the one hand, it will try to comprehend the predominant views concerning work in slaveholding societies, on the other hand, it will analyse the debate opposing people in favour of slavery and the advocates of free work. The first part -Hegemony of planters- will expose how the planters' ethos imposed itself as a model in a process that postulates the erosion of the white man's labour force on the one hand, and the control of the potential forces of opposition formed by justice and religion on the other hand. The second part -Work and servitude- will try to describe the division of slave work, to determine the capacity of slaves to achieve independant activities. This part of the study will endeavour to understand the master-slave relationship, and, finally, to analyse the place that work held in the debate on the abolition of slave trade and slavery that opened in the 1770s

Full textOn the basis of the demographic surveys and censuses of the 1970's, this thesis reassesses the argument that unions patterns and family in the Caribbean are instable. The introduction describes the region, the major sources and recalls the importance of slavery. Chapter 1 to 3 gather demographic, historical and socio-anthropological evidence. Ethnicity is not a relevant variable in the analysis of nuptiality and family except in the case of the east-Indians in Trinidad and Guyana (chapter 1). Pluripaternity (women with children born to several fathers) and residential matrifocality are statistically marginal in the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe-Martinique, Guyana and Jamaica (chapter 2). Neither slavery nor the outmigration of men after its abolition explain matrifocality. This its importance in the socio-anthropological litterature must be explained in ideological terms (chapter 3). In the four monographs (chapters 4 to 7), the purely demographic analysis of union patterns demonstrates their relative stability. Several indicators of the behaviour of the birth-cohorts are used : current union status, type and outcome of the first union, number of partners, duration of union life. Union histories summarize the nuptiality of women aged 35-49. In the final chapter, comparisons with the rest of the Caribbean and Latin America confirm this conclusion, in view of the "indian model" of nuptiality, the family structure and the role of the father and lastly the life cycle of the women. Annex 1 presents the demographic sources. Annex 2 is an evaluation of age and current union status, two key variables used in the four monographs

Full textThis thesis aims to analyze the possible ties between the performance of Creole enterprises and the cultural representations linked to entrepreneurship in the French-speaking insular spaces of the Caribbean. Cohabitation of two major types of enterprise is a characteristic of this space. On one hand we have the capitalist type of enterprise, dating from the French Old Regime, based on a long-term risk logic and on innovation, which provides the best performance records. This is the entrepreneurship model par excellence. On the other hand, we have the “creolised” type enterprise, created by mimetic Creole entrepreneurs right after the abolition of slavery. This model endeavours to reconcile the talent of creative arts with that of management, without ever achieving lasting results. Nowadays, entrepreneurship seems to be the answer to the unemployment crisis. Scoring measurement methods applied to two set of enterprises, the first one composed of enterprises having filed a petition for bankruptcy, the other one of still active enterprises and the customers of a local Bank, show that these enterprises follow a short-term management scheme, in the financial field in particular, hence recorded chronic counter-performances. Such results are the products of the rationalities shocks resulting from the interaction between the capitalistic and the Creole cultural logics that contribute to the failure of an effective and lasting enterprise project. Or coming these counter-performances will require a constructivist global reflection on the entrepreneurial project, education in measurement techniques and proper managerial training. The appropriation of entrepreneurship risk and permanent innovation concepts by the Creole entrepreneurs will require specific levers of management and performance control, such as the manager's control panel and the financial plan

Full textGlobalization causes important mutations in world-wide maritime space, the Caribbean Basin not being excluded. The Caribbean sea, the archipelago and continental borders form a dispersed geographical space, mixing with the bigger maritime routes. This privileged passage has created tierce competition between the various ports in the area. Martinique, Guadeloupe and St-Lucia situated in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean archipelago are affected by this phenomena. Due to their dependence with regards to the exterior market, the majority of their merchandise imported and exported passes through the following ports from Pointe-à-Pitre / Jarry in Guadeloupe, from Fort-de-France / Pointe-des-Grives in Martinique and from Castries / Vieux-Fort in St-Lucia, a real survival line for their respective economies. What are their relations knowing that their main commercial partners are France and the European union for the two overseas French departments; the Caricom countries, the Americas and the United Kingdom for Castries, independent countries? In this geopolitics world, is there complimentarity or competition between these three ports taking into account that each port exercises their ambition for transhipment in the Caribbean? What are the ties between the neighbouring islands, taking into account cultural, historical and economical ties? Distance, continuity, breakdown, movement of goods and persons, commercial maritime lines, accessibility ofthe ports, such are the concepts which permit a better comprehension ofthis very specific and complex subject

Full textFrench departments in america, guadeloupe and martinique have established narrow historical links with their home country and so have found themselves engaged with it in the building of europe. So they have been led to negleet their neighbour the caribbeans, mostly english-speaking, when the opening onto europe threatens their traditional economical views. This explains the recent efforts of these two islands to open onto their regional space by exploiting the image of "showcase of europe" they try to cultivate. From the changes in their trade by sea and air, this study aims at reckoning up the recent widening of west indian horizons, and at showing the strong points and the weak points of such a policy

In more abstract terms, taking in account more than physical distance, the French West Indies, after several centuries of colonisation and fifty years of being "department" have tended to evolve increaslingly as continental appendixes of metropolitan France. Face with having to take in this "continentality", but unable to deny their insularity completely, the French West Indies seem condemned to finding a half-way position between Europe and the Caribbean area

Full textSince aime cesaire published his first literary work : "notebook of a return to my native land", french west indian litterature has been studied from its ideological aspect. That's why it is considered as either anticolonialist, black african, "francophone", caribbean, creole or american, depending on the reader's point of view. It is supposed to be a weapon to fight for national independance or against alienation. As new concepts such as creolity and americanity have appeared, brought forth by a new generation of writers, we have to reassess this point of view. Such concepts as "assimilation, negritude and antillanity" have thence to be reestimated as well as traditionnel criticism of those concepts. Creolity and americanity result from a new apprehension of west indian history leading to a reassessenent of the idea of assimilation and also benefit from progress made in the field of linguistics of the creole language. Supporters of creolity are hence forward stressing the "diversalite", aspect of creole culture in the french west indies, while vincent placoly, considering the fact that the french antilles are part of america, insists on their americanity. From, now on, it is more important for french west indian writers to express their creole or antillean identity than indulge into ideological or political considerations (such considerations are however still to be found in their writings). Now, we may consider those main literary trends, that is negritude, antillanity, americanity an creolity, as so many aspects of poetics and when dealing with those pieces of literature and we should mostly take their literary aspects into account

Full textThe degradation of coral reefs is currently under investigation in many ecology studies. The present work provides information about the role herbivorus fishes for the reef community and allows to estimate the importance of these fises for the resilience of the benthic coral communities. The herbivorous fish assemblage was studied by scuba diving with quantitative visual censuses in several reef flats and slopes of Guadeloupe. The collected data were processed using several community descriptors, ordination and cluster analyses and autocorrelograms. The study of the temporal variations showed that the herbivorous fish assemblage is submitted to fluctuations during the year but does not follow a seasonal pattern and that some ecological descriptors influence the community such as the swell. The wind and the tide. The study of spatial distribution showed a separation of herbivorous fish assemblages according to depth, with a shallow water fish assemblage distinct from that living on the reef slope. The ecological descriptors responsible for the spatial distribution of herbivorous fishes are the type of algal assemblages, coral cover, depth and the status of reef protection. The fish algal consumption evaluated on the reef revealed that herbivores are not able to regulate. The algal growth when they are overfished. The attraction for different algal facies(turf,rubble,Brown algae,calcified chlorophyta) estimated bymeasuring fish bites,showed that fishes avoid grazing on bottoms dominated by brown algae

Full textThis first epidemiological study of arterial hypertension (HTN) in the French Caribbean Regions (FCR) is based on a large population study including a Caribbean cohort of 6 000 workers, a sample of 2 400 subjects living in poor economic conditions in the Caribbean's, and a cohort of 30 000 workers from metropolitan France. Blood pressure (BP) was measured during two separate visits. HTN was defined either as BP>140/90 mm Hg at two separate visits, or as the use of antihypertensive medications. These studies show that: - HTN is found among 19% of men and women in the Caribbean cohort of workers o There are large gender-related differences in the awareness and control of HTN in the Caribbeans' - A better awareness, treatment and control of HTN is found among Caribbean women, compared to women from metropolitan France - A more aggressive therapeutic management of hypertension is found in the Caribbean's than in metropolitan France - Subjects living in poor economic conditions have a higher prevalence and a poorer control of hypertension, due in part to a higher prevalence of obesity and sedentarity - Psychosocial factors, such as lack of confidence in one's own future, may be associated with prevalence of hypertension among these subjects. In conclusion, these studies, which avoid many bias usually found in previous reports, clearly contradict the hypothesis of an increased severity of hypertension in the Caribbean's, compared to metropolitan France. At the same time, they show that people with a poor economic status in the Caribbean's display a higher prevalence of hypertension, and a much poorer control

Full textThe thesis analises the effects of reglementations on the seatrade between european union and the caribbean islands; they permitted them to develop an historical relationship. It is necessary today to show the limits of the preferential treatment dedicated to the garibean basin. The international competition increases caribbean islands' difficulties that's why they want to keep that kind of protections, in order to have a significant trade with europe. The purpose of this study is to consider the evolution of their relations comparing them with the caribbean trade towards united states (using the advantages of the usprogramm called caribbean basin initiative : cbi) and towards canada (using the canadian programm called caribcan). Most of the islands are members of the caribbean community (caricom) but they plan to reinforce their integration that is a new point in the caribbean trade

Full textAfter knowing considerable wealth which increased over a period of three hundred years, the british west indies sank into instant bankrupcy after the abolition of slavery. In order to get the ruined economy sarted again, indentured labourers were brought from madeira, india and as far as china. The arrival of these foreigners diversified the ethnosocial pattern of the colonies. Yet, the conditions under which this increase of population took place caused the society to split. In guyana, this evolved into a situation of political and racial prejudice and unrest. When the british west indies were able to master their own destiny, they made an attempt to federate. Unfortunately, it failed. Yet, the idea remained vivid, and it ultimately led to the creation of a common market : the caricom, which has now become a homogeneous force to reckon with in this region of the world so much looked upon by the great nations of our times

Full textThe lesser antilles constitute an extremely fragmented region. They present important disparities in development from one political unit to another and sometimes even within a single unit. These disparities originate in physical, economic and human factors. Barbados has known a relatively balanced growth since the second world war thanks to the emphasis laid on tourism and industrialisation. But underdevelopment persists in the leeward and windward islands. In the french west indies dependence on the metropolis is steadily increasing. The french government plays a foremost part in economic initiatives in guadeloupe and martinique through the multiplication of public expenses. In the dutch antilles the crisis in the service economy is ever more conspicuous. The problems that are found in the oil refinery industry have led to the closing down or reduction of activity of the units of production. The local governments and the populations, with the assistance of their metropolises, international institutions, or other foreign countries, are increasingly determined to bring some solution to the socio-economic contradictions of their respective countries. The progress wich has been registered turns out to be extremely variable
