EVOLUTION FACTOR [6 records]

Record 1 2023-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fashion and Styles (Clothing)
  • Social Movements
CONT

Another factor that gave way to the evolution of fast fashion is trends. Everyone wants to be like the great artists and celebrities of today. As a result, people will want to wear the most recent trends and clothes. But, to satisfy such want, a larger phenomenon is necessary. All this has led to the birth of "ultra-fast fashion", a fashion even faster than what... now exists.

Key term(s)
  • ultra fast fashion

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mode
  • Mouvements sociaux
CONT

L'industrie de la mode rapide a été secouée par des déferlantes depuis le début de la pandémie : baisse des ventes, changements des comportements d'achat et perturbation des chaînes d'approvisionnement. Dans la tempête se trouvent pourtant des châteaux forts qui séduisent la plus jeune génération. Ils vendent à des prix encore plus bas, s'adaptent rapidement aux tendances et utilisent des réseaux sociaux avec brio. Bienvenue au pays de [...] la mode ultra-accélérée.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Injections, Tubing and Transfusions (Medicine)
DEF

A set of surveillance procedures covering the whole transfusion chain (from the collection of blood and its components to the follow-up of recipients), intended to collect and assess information on unexpected or undesirable effects resulting from the therapeutic use of labile blood products, and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence.

CONT

Hemovigilance is performed to meet three objectives at both the local and national level : to identify risks and their related factor(s) and monitor these risks. The alert function cannot be dissociated from epidemiological surveillance because both processes involve evaluating the impact of the preventive measures in place. The incidence of risks must be estimated and their evolution followed up for each type of recorded transfusion-related incident. At the blood collection level which is part of donor selection, the goal of hemovigilance is to assess the relevance of various medical indicators present in individuals who wish to donate blood. At the transfusion level, the goal of hemovigilance is to estimate the incidence of transfusion-induced side effects in recipients(e. g. viral or bacterial contamination, alloimmunization transfusion attribution errors). The incidence and prevalence of transfusion-associated incidents occasionally justifies the distinction between the three elements of the hemovigilance strategy : the alert system, recipient surveillance and blood collection surveillance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Injections, tubages et transfusions (Médecine)
DEF

Surveillance relative à l'utilisation thérapeutique des produits sanguins, exercée depuis la collecte du sang et de ses composants jusqu'au suivi des patients transfusés, afin de recueillir et d'évaluer des informations sur les effets inattendus ou indésirables de ces produits et d'en prévenir l'apparition.

Some unicellular organisms, such as the multinucleated slime mold Physarum polycephalum and certain algae (e.g. the giant Acetabularia), are larger than the optimum size of from 30 to 50mm.

CONT

The Proterozoic radiation of single-celled algae and protozoa might suggest that evolution of the eukaryotic cell was a limiting factor, but such a notion is put to rest by the discovery of eukaryotic fossils in sediments much older than those in Spitsbergen
