The ecological awareness and fear for climate change in Europe
No full textThe impacts of climate change and related hazards are increasingly being felt across the world. It is recognised that climate change is largely anthropogenic and caused by a continuous worsening of environmental conditions. Whether and to what extent these hazards will result in human fatalities depends on the vulnerability of the people affected, or positively put, on their robustness and resiliency. People can choose to respond to the prospect of climate change and decide what steps to take. At community level, they can develop new technologies that will allow economic development while reducing the anthropogenic contributions to climate change. At individual level, the most aware people react to climate change by adopting responsible behaviours. Thus, an important question is whether and how people are aware of the environmental worsening conditions. In this paper, we examine the spreading of the fear for climate change in the 27 countries of European Union. Using the Eurobarometer 2011 survey and multilevel logistic regression models with individuals nested in countries, we found a high level of heterogeneity in people’s concerns about climate change across Europe and, within countries, across individuals with different socio-demographic characteristics. Highly educated people and those who have, or plan to have, children are the groups most concerned about the future challenge posed by climate change
In the Light of the Metabolic Memory Theory, Should Not All Aged People with Dysglycemia Be Treated?
No full textDysglycemia has been coined to define the prediabetic state. It defines high glucose levels below the diabetes
‘‘cut-offs.’’ The negative effects of dysglycemia, leading to cardiovascular complications, are amplified during
aging. Despite this knowledge, treatment of dysglycemia in old subjects is usually overlooked by clinical
practice. This article deals with a new theory regarding an intensive therapeutic approach targeting aged people.
This hypothesis arises from the recent theory of metabolic memory, which defines early imprinting due to
hyperglycemia in cells of the vasculature and of target organs, favoring the development of vascular complications.
In addition, metabolic memory determines a durable effect of hypoglycemic treatment that is much
longer than the period of therapy. This new evidence could allow us to hypothesize that a treatment of dysglycemia
in aged people could remodel their glucose ‘‘trajectory’’ during aging toward a more optimal one,
leading to successful aging
Fécondité envisagée, fécondité réalisée : un lien complexe
No full textDes enquêtes sont menées régulièrement pour savoir si les personnes souhaitent avoir des enfants dans l’avenir. Peut-on se fier à leurs réponses pour prévoir les naissances de demain ? Si leurs désirs ne se réalisent pas, d’où cela vient-il ? Des difficultés à anticiper l’avenir ? Des imprévus de la vie - décès du conjoint, divorce, chômage - qui empêchent la réalisation des projets ou les repoussent à plus tard ? Laurent Toulemon et Maria Rita Testa nous livrent les résultats de la dernière enquête menée en France sur le sujet
Climate change and reproductive intentions in Europe
No full textAim of this paper is to investigate the effects of environmental conditions on human reproductive behavior in the highest industrialized countries. We discuss the hypothesis that individuals fearing for a foreseen unhealthy environment tend to delay or forgo childbearing, thus contributing to a reduced ecological footprint. The empirical analysis is based on the Eurobarometer survey carried out in the 27 EU countries in 2011. Multilevel ordinal regression models on additionally intended number of children are used. A random intercept is considered to take into account the clustering of individuals within countries. Results indicate that people's intended number of children is not very strongly correlated with people's concerns about climate change, but if a statistically significant relation is detected, this is positive: the stronger the concern, the higher the intended number of children. This result suggests that the desire to pass an enjoyable and healthy environment to the future generations does not refrain people to plan large families and that the parents' environmental concern can be instrumental in stimulating parents' responsible behaviours and proper policies at institutional level
