Depuis le lancement du programme de séquençage du génome humain, le développement continu des technologies et des langages génétiques a fait émerger une riche littérature au croisement de la sociologie, de l’anthropologie et de la philosophie s’interrogeant sur la place grandissante acquise par le gène dans nos sociétés. Si la notion de génétisation s’y est imposée comme schème interprétatif critique des processus en jeu, celle-ci se voit aujourd’hui en partie dépassée consécutivement au développement de nouvelles modalités de diffusion des technologies génétiques. L’apparition d’une offre d’autotests génétiques par le biais d’Internet laisse en effet apparaître une autonomisation de la dynamique de génétisation au sein de la société, soit l’émergence d’une auto-génétisation à l’heure où la génomique en vient à se pratiquer en version Do-It-Yourself. Sur la base d’une enquête par observations ethnographiques de divers espaces numériques et d’entretiens, il ressort que des publics grandissants se voient désormais acquis à l’intérêt qu’il y aurait à s’orienter vers les gènes pour pouvoir se constituer un « capital santé » ou un « capital généalogique ». Au cœur de cette dynamique où le génétique en vient à englober des domaines en expansion, touchant tout autant à la santé qu’à la construction de l’identité, la génétisation n’apparaît plus seulement comme une opération de nature intellectuelle conduisant à valoriser le rôle des gènes face aux facteurs dits d’environnement, mais aussi et surtout comme une entreprise pratique au cours de laquelle l’individu en vient à se tourner vers ses gènes pour faire face à un environnement devenu incertain.

With the progress in nanotechnology and associated production methods, composite materials are becoming lighter, cheaper, more durable, and more versatile. At present, great progress has been made in the design, preparation, and characterization of composite materials, making them smarter and versatile. By creating new properties using suitable fillers and matrix, functional composites can meet the most challenging standards of users, especially in high-tech industries. Advanced composites reinforced by high-performance carbon fibers and nanofillers are popular in the automotive and aerospace industries thanks to their significant advantages, such as high specific strength to weight ratio and noncorrosion properties. In addition to the improvement of the mechanical performance, composite materials today are designed to provide new functions dealing with antibacterial, self-cleaning, self-healing, super-hard, and solar reflective properties for desired end-use applications. On the other hand, composite materials can contribute to mitigating environmental issues by providing renewable energy technologies in conjunction with multifunctional, lightweight energy storage systems with high performance and noncorrosive properties. They are also used to prepare a new generation of batteries and directly contribute to H2 production or CO2 reduction in fuels and chemicals. This Special Issue aims to collect articles reporting on recent developments dealing with preparative methods, design, properties, structure, and characterization methods as well as promising applications of multifunctional composites. It covers potential applications in various areas, such as anticorrosion, photocatalyst, absorbers, superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, antifouling/antibacterial, renewable energy, energy storage systems, construction, and electronics. The modeling and simulation of processes involving the design and preparation of functional and multifunctional composites as well as experimental studies involving these composites are all covered in this Special Issue.

Environmental health researchers have long used concepts like the neighborhood effect to assessing people’s exposure to environmental influences and the associated health impact. However, these are static notions that ignore people’s daily mobility at various spatial and temporal scales (e.g., daily travel, migratory movements, and movements over the life course) and the influence of neighborhood contexts outside their residential neighborhoods. Recent studies have started to incorporate human mobility, non-residential neighborhoods, and the temporality of exposures through collecting and using data from GPS, accelerometers, mobile phones, various types of sensors, and social media. Innovative approaches and methods have been developed. This Special Issue aims to showcase studies that use new approaches, methods, and data to examine the role of human mobility and non-residential contexts on human health behaviors and outcomes. It includes 21 articles that cover a wide range of topics, including individual exposure to air pollution, exposure and access to green spaces, spatial access to healthcare services, environmental influences on physical activity, food environmental and diet behavior, exposure to noise and its impact on mental health, and broader methodological issues such as the uncertain geographic context problem (UGCoP) and the neighborhood effect averaging problem (NEAP). This collection will be a valuable reference for scholars and students interested in recent advances in the concepts and methods in environmental health and health geography.

Les installations industrielles peuvent-elles provoquer des cancers ? C’est en tout cas la perception de certains acteurs locaux : ils signalent aux autorités publiques que leur environnement recèle des risques pour la santé. Les épidémiologistes ont tendance à récuser les hypothèses relatives à une origine environnementale de ces pathologies, surtout lorsque l’on en fait la cause unique, et ils assurent que ces craintes ne sont pas fondées. Pour faire reconnaître l’existence de risques et en obtenir le contrôle ou la suppression, les acteurs locaux en viennent à se mobiliser et à médiatiser leur cause. L’ouvrage présente et discute trois de ces signalements : Saint-Cyr l’École et ses relais de téléphonie mobile, Vincennes et la pollution d’une ancienne usine chimique, Nivillac et son incinérateur. L’approche comparative permet de développer une analyse de ces signalements par les populations concernées et ouvre sur la question de l’ancrage culturel des risques.
