Sommario/riassunto

Sensor technology for monitoring vital signs is an important topic for various service applications, such as entertainment and personalization platforms and Internet of Things (IoT) systems, as well as traditional medical purposes, such as disease indication judgments and predictions. Vital signs for monitoring include respiration and heart rates, body temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, blood glucose concentration, brain waves, etc. Gait and walking length can also be regarded as vital signs because they can indirectly indicate human activity and status. Sensing technologies include contact sensors such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), non-contact sensors such as ballistocardiography (BCG), and invasive/non-invasive sensors for diagnoses of variations in blood characteristics or body fluids. Radar, vision, and infrared sensors can also be useful technologies for detecting vital signs from the movement of humans or organs. Signal processing, extraction, and analysis techniques are important in industrial applications along with hardware implementation techniques. Battery management and wireless power transmission technologies, the design and optimization of low-power circuits, and systems for continuous monitoring and data collection/transmission should also be considered with sensor



technologies. In addition, machine-learning-based diagnostic technology can be used for extracting meaningful information from continuous monitoring data.

Sommario/riassunto

It is known today that more than 61% of human pathogens are zoonotic, representing 75% of all emerging pathogens during the past decade, presenting an increasing a matter of concern, particularly in modern days where global warming keeps is causing climatic conditions conducive to the introduction of exotic infectious agents or disease vectors in new territories. This book compiles studies that approach a myriad of zoonotic infectious diseases and their complex mechanisms. This is a brief but in-depth collection that showcases the need to address health at the animal-human-environment interface, in a One Health perspective.

Sommario/riassunto

L’entrée en guerre des États-Unis le 6 avril 1917 marque un tournant dans l’histoire du conflit. L’arrivée des premières troupes américaines à Saint-Nazaire le 26 juin est le prélude au transfert en Europe de plus de deux millions de soldats, accompagnés de nombreux civils. Au-delà du poids politique et militaire de cette intervention, toujours discuté, ses apports culturels ont provoqué des bouleversements profonds qui ont durablement affecté les sociétés européennes. Quels sont l’ampleur de ce phénomène, sa temporalité, ses modalités, ses acteurs, sa place dans le processus d’américanisation de l’Europe au xxe siècle ?  Les différentes échelles d’analyse, continentale, nationale et locale (Nantes et Saint-Nazaire) permettent de rendre compte des diverses formes d’échanges et de transferts, y compris lors de la conférence de la Paix. Une image très positive de l’Amérique se déploie alors dans toute l’Europe, symbolisant l’espoir d’un monde nouveau. Cependant, au-delà de l’émotion populaire bien réelle qu’elle suscite, la présence américaine, massive mais finalement brève et souvent superficielle, provoque également des rejets et laisse, dans la région de l’Ouest, des traces éphémères. Elle renforce toutefois incontestablement l’intensité des relations transatlantiques et marque une nouvelle phase dans l’émergence d’un monde globalisé.
