Object
Enrolling a selected sample of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, the International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) found endovascular coiling to be superior to microsurgical clipping. The performance of coiling in a more general population of ruptured aneurysms has not been adequately studied.

Methods
Using provincial administrative data from Ontario, the authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who underwent aneurysm repair. The exposure was defined as endovascular versus surgical aneurysm repair. The prespecified primary outcome was time to death or readmission for SAH. Data from the entire cohort were analyzed using a multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards model. Propensity scores were used to compare a matched subgroup of patients with aneurysms who had similar baseline characteristics. The potential impact of unmeasured confounding was assessed using sensitivity analysis.

Results
Between 1995 and 2004, 2342 aneurysms were clipped and 778 were coiled in Ontario. The proportion of aneurysms treated by coiling increased steadily over time. In the adjusted analysis of the entire cohort, endovascular coiling was associated with a significantly increased hazard of death or SAH readmission (hazard ratio 1.25 [95% CI 1.00–1.55], p = 0.04). Similar results were obtained from the propensity score matched analysis (hazard ratio 1.25 [95% CI 1.04–1.50], p = 0.02). Measures of procedural morbidity and mortality were not significantly different between groups.

Conclusions
The results of the current analysis call into question the generalizability of the ISAT to all ruptured aneurysms. Given the limitations inherent in this form of analysis, further clinical studies—rigorously assessing the performance of endovascular therapy in patients with non-ISAT-like aneurysms—are indicated.

During the last few decades, developing countries in the world has been going through an intensive transformation process related to change in demographic and in the use of human capital. These changes have important implications for women empowerment which they tend to systematically alter the marginal utility of consumption over the life cycle. Considering this view, this cross sectional study was aimed to find out the level of women empowerment in purposively selected areas of Bangladesh. A total 206 married women were interviewed face to face using structured questionnaire. To assess the level of women empowerment, a series of questions were asked with a view to assessing the level of participation in different household and family matters. On the basis of 18 variables, a composite level of women empowerment was assessed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using computer simulation and categorized into three groups. It was found that 40% had poor level of empowerment, 19% had fair and 41 had good level of women empowerment. Bi-variate analysis revealed that level of women empowerment was found to be high among the respondents living in urban areas, less number of children, religion Islam, higher level of education of husband and wife, working status of husband and wife, monthly family income and living in pucca house condition (p<0.05). However, no statistically significant association was found between current age of husband and wife, age at marriage and spousal age difference (p>0.05). Though the study had some limitations, but the study finding would be helpful for policymakers concerning implementing the programme for empowering women through different intervention programmes.

Fijian Chiefs and Constitutional Change 1874-1937
Authors: Ali Ahmed 
Published: October 2009

En 1880, six ans après la Cession, le Conseil des Chefs demanda une représentation fidjienne dans le Conseil Législatif. Le régime colonial déclara que le Commissaire Indigène représentait les Fidjiens. Les premiers Fidjiens entrèrent dans le Conseil Législatif en 1904, quand le gouverneur nomma deux personnes choisies sur une liste présentée par le Conseil des Chefs. Les Fidjiens furent satisfaits dans l'ensemble jusqu'aux années 30,
quand le gouvernement décida de donner le droit
de vote aux Indiens, et à ce moment les Fidjiens
soulevèrent des questions sur leurs propres droits,
Dans les années 30 quand les Indiens réclamèrent
le suffrage universel, les Fidjiens firent bien com-
prendre qu'ils étaient opposés à un système qui pourrait permettre que le contrôle politique soit transféré aux Indiens. Le gouvernement spécifia de nouveau sa politique de la primauté des intérets fidjiens et en 1937 abandonna le principe électif des Municipalités de Suva et Levuka, et
l'adoucit dans le Conseil Législatif où il retint sa
majorité officielle et admit 5 Européens, 5 Indiens
(dans les deux cas, trois élus et deux nommés) et
5 Fidjiens désignés parmi le Conseil des Chefs.
Les organismes constructeurs de l'atoll de Takapoto
Authors: Chevalier Jean-Pierre , Denizot Michel 
Published: October 2009

Les organismes constructeurs de l'atoll de Takapoto. On the outer slope and on the margin of the reef, there are few differences between the reef builders of Takapoto and those of the other atolls. The coral fauna is more abundant on the west coast (leeward-side), compared to what is located on the east coast (windward-side). On the other hand, in the lagoon, the coral fauna is poor (14 genus — mainly Porites) and the populations are heterogeneous, the southern coral patches being most prosperous.
The vegetable reef builders are abundant and belong to four main groups : the bulky calcareous algae (Porolithon, Chevaliericrusta), the algae sea- lawns (Jania), the consolidating algae and the Cyanophycae of the bottom. Compared to the corals, the calcareous algae enjoy a particular importance in the building process, both on the reef front and in the lagoon. That comes from the small number of functionnal channels between the lagoon and the ocean; as a result, the renewal of water is slow and the salinity is high.
The Southeast Asian Foundations of Oceanic Agriculture : A Reassessment
Authors: Yen Douglas 
Published: October 2009

The assumption of the Southeast Asian origin of Oceanic agriculture is examined on the following bases:
a) The root crop precedence to rice as the widely adopted food staple in SE Asia, and the significance of this precedence to agricultural diffusion into Oceania.
b) A review of recent evidence in regard to a).
c) The significance of early environmental adaptations in New Guinea that could indicate that agriculture there was as early as any such adaptation in the world.
d) That the process of genetic adaptation, i.e. domestication, was a continuous process that was to change the Oceanic agricultural systems of Oceania from their founding forms.
Maurice Leenhardt et la rébellion de 1917 en Nouvelle-Calédonie.
Authors: Vasseur Jacques 
Published: October 2009

Before being the initiator of the anthropological and linguistic studies in New Caledonia, Maurice Leenhardt has been from 1920 to 1926 the representative of the Mission's protestantes de Paris in the Melanesian Archipelago.During that time, on this name he had been involved, as a witness but also as an actor in the events which agitated the main island in 1917 with the result of the trial of 70 rebels.
His prolific correspondence — with his relations in France, with his wife while she was accompanying their children to Noumea, or with his natas, the native pastors having for him the role of informants — provides us with day to day information on the evolution of a rebellion that spreads panic before being repressed with the help of Melanesian volunteers, but also on the response of a man totally dedicated to a work endangered by that very rebellion.
The judiciary investigation which follows the restoration of order, misled by ignorance and intrigues, confirms that danger by leading to the indictment of a protestant chief charged with the main responsibilities, declaring the real culprits not guilty. Mostly thanks to his natas' investigations, Leenhardt succeeds to restore the truth during the last sessions.
Matupit revisited : social change, local organization and the sense of place
Authors: Epstein Arnold Leonard 
Published: October 2009

ABSTRACT
By 1960, after almost a century of close involvement with the wider society created by colonialism, the people of Matupit had come to be known as among the most 'westernized' in Papua New Guinea. It turned out in fact that, despite the marked degree of cultural erosion in their social life, local organization was still governed by traditional structural principles of residence and descent. Now fieldwork conducted a generation later suggests, even more remarkably perhaps, that the basic combination of matriliny and virilocality still holds. But that would be an over-simple view, ignoring the way the local situation is being profoundly shaped by population growth and the tendency for increasing numbers of Matupi to settle in the towns and elsewhere. In 1960 it seemed necessary to focus on the island's internal arrangements to stress continuity ; today these have to be examined in their wider context if one is not to miss the import of major sources of change that are at work.
Sociétés à big men, sociétés à grands hommes : figures du pouvoir en Nouvelle-Guinée
Authors: Godelier Maurice 
Published: October 2009

Summary.
The author develops the hypothesis which he proposed in 1982, as a result of his analysis of the traditional forms of power existing among the Baruya living in Papua New Guinea. According to this hypothesis, the Big-men and other Great-men found in New Guinea, such as masters of initiations, great warrior», shamans, etc. represent various types of societies corresponding to specific forms of kinship, of control of people and of circulation of wealth.
In that view, Big-men would be found in societies in which marriage implies bridewealth, and where wealth accumulated in order to be redistributed at the occasion of highly competitive intertribal exchanges.
The other types of Great-men, masters of male initiations, shamans, great warriors, etc. would be the personifications of power, where marriage implies mainly the direct exchange of women, and where intensive male initiations exist and competitive exchanges do not.
The author tries to imagine the social processes through which Great-men societies could have transformed themselves historically into Big-men societies. He demonstrates that in fact, Big-men are found in societies where there is no competitive exchange, so that the question of the origin of the Big-men has to be investigated again. Then, he extends his comparison to societies with chiefs, like the Mekeo, the Trobriand, or with ranks like in Vanuatu.
Le Passage du Paléolithique moyen au Paléolithique supérieur : Données stratigraphiques de quelques gisements sous-grotte du sud-ouest [The transition from middle to Upper Paleolithic: stratigraphie sequences of some south-west sites of France.]
Authors: Lévêque François 
Published: October 2009

Le passage du paléolithique moyen au paléolithique supérieur est encore mal connu et les gisements intéressant cette période restent relativement rares. L'étude des séquences sédimentaires de quatre gisements situés en Poitou - Charentes : La Quina, Les Cottes, Samt-Césaire et Quinçay, et d'un gisement du Pays Basque : Gatzarna, apporte cependant un certain nombre de données concernant les conditions de dépôt des sédiments, le Paléoenvironnement et les cultures. Au dessus de formations moustériennes ou de niveaux stériles leur correspondant, une même succession de phases climatiques semble les caractériser. Après un hiatus qui parait d'assez faible durée une première série de formations présente d'importantes traces d'altération et les marques d'une forte humidité soulignée par la présence de ruissellements. Ces niveaux peuvent, en certains cas, être affectés par des phénomènes de remaniements plus ou moins considérables suivant les gisements ou les vecteurs d'un même gisement. On peut penser que ces formations correspondent à la fin de l'amélioration climatique des Cottes, puis à la phase d'instabilité qui lui fait suite. Elles renferment essentiellement des industries castelperroniennes. Les formations suivantes sont caractérisées par la prédominance des actions mécaniques et portent les indices d'une forte dégradation climatique correspondant au froid See Würm IIIa. Elles correspondent, en général, à la présence d'un Aurignacien ancien et plus rarement à un Castelperronien tardif. Enfin ces séquences voient le froid s'estomper et l'établissement d'une nouvelle oscillation tempérée (amélioration d'Arcy) semble se manifester. Elle correspond, en général, à un Aurignacien évolué.
Cette même succession de phases climatiques, même si elle est parfois partielle, intéresse les cinq gisements considérés et parait donc pouvoir être considérée dans un cadre plus général.
Évolution holocène de la végétation en bordure de l'étang de Méjean : analyse pollinique du sondage d'Embouchac (Lattes, Hérault, France)[Holocene vegetation dynamic on the edge of the Méjean lagune ; pollen analysis of Embouchac boring (Lattes, Hérault, France)]
Authors: Puertas Olivier 
Published: October 2009

La plaine littorale de Montpellier, notamment le secteur sud de la commune de Lattes, est particulièrement favorable à l'analyse pollinique. La présence de lagune est à l'origine d'une excellente conservation pollinique. Les travaux de Planchais ont montré une dynamique de végétation comparable à celle observée dans des secteurs avoisinants. Le diagramme d'Embouchac permet de suivre très précisément l'évolution de la végétation depuis la fin du Préboréal, et ceci en relation avec les facteurs écologiques locaux, tant abiotiques (climatiques et édaphiques) que biotiques (concurrences inter-spécifiques et anthropisation).
La présence d'un Boréal tripartite (reconnu également à Berre par Triat-Laval) peut être une spécificité liée à la position côtière de ce sondage. La forte anthropisation reconnue dès la fin de la première moitié de l'Atlantique ancien masque partiellement (puis plus intensément au cours des chronozones suivantes) le facteur climatique. Cette anthropisation prépondérante, interagissant avec les facteurs édaphiques (liés aux fluctuations lagunaires), induit le comportement particulier de certains taxons par rapport aux secteurs voisins. Ainsi, les dynamiques spécifiques de Quercus type ilex, Fagus, Ulmus, Tilia et des Chenopodiaceae donnent un caractère local très marqué à la seconde moitié de l'Holocène (de l'Atlantique récent au Subatlantique) de ce diagramme. C'est également le cas pour Vins, Alnus et Salix qui semblent directement liés aux activités humaines au cours du Subatlantique, en relation avec le développement de la cité portuaire protohistorique et romaine de Lattara.
Ungulates from Gran Dolina (Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain) [La faune des ongulés de la séquence de Gran Dolina (Atapuerca, Burgos, Espagne)]
Authors: Van Der Made Jan 
Published: October 2009

Les niveaux inférieurs de Gran Dolina (TD4, 5, 6, 7, 8a) contiennent une faune typique du Pléistocène Inférieur supérieur ou Moyen inférieur : Equus sp. type stenonide, Stephanorhinus etruscus. Sus scrofa. Hippopotamus amphibius, Dama nestii ? vallonetensis, Cervus elaphus, Eucladoceros giulu, cf. «Bison voigtstedtensis» et Ovibos/Praeovibos sp.
Les niveaux supérieurs (TD10, 11) contiennent une faune avec un caractère plus récent : Equus sp. type caballoide, Stephanorhinus cf. hemitoechus. Dama dama clactoniana, Cervus elaphus, Megaloceros giganteus ?, Bos/Bison et Caprini indet.
Aucun niveau ne présente de faune «glaciaire» (des adaptations typiquement «glaciaires» manquent chez les premiers ovibovinés). Des mammifères typiques des époques glaciaires dans le centre de l'Europe, comme Rangifer, Alces, Saïga, Ovibos moschatus etc., ne sont pas observés dans le Pléistocène Inférieur et Moyen de l'Espagne, ou seulement dans le nord des Pyrénées et de la Cordillaire Cantabre. Les périodes glaciaires n'ont pas eu d'impact important sur la faune des ongulés. Cette donnée supporte l'idée d'une occupation humaine continue de l'Espagne à partir du Pléistocène Inférieur.
Le Portel-Ouest. Associations fauniques et paléoenvironnements sur la frange septentrionnale des Pyrénées ariègeoises au Würm ancien [The Portel-West. Paleoenvironment and faunat associations from the northern hedge of the ariegeoises Pyrenees during the ancient Würm]
Authors: Marquet Jean Claude , Vézian Régis , Gardeisen Armelle 
Published: October 2009

Le gisement du Portel-ouest est situé dans le département de l'Ariège au pied des Pyrénées à 490 m d'altitude. Les couches les plus profondes du remplissage correspondent à l'interglaciaire Eemien et les dernières à l'interstade würmien ; l'occupation du site par l'homme de Néandertal est attestée par de très nombreux restes fauniques présentant des traces de découpe, une industrie en quartz très abondante, et 45 restes humains.
L'étude comparative des associations fauniques des rongeurs et de la grande faune herbivore nous permet d'apprécier les variations climatiques et environnementales du Würm ancien : l' Eemien, la phase d'instabilité climatique du début du würm ancien, une période froide (relativement humide au pied des Pyrénées), une phase plus humide avec des variations, et un retour du froid au sommet Nous avons remarqué en outre des correspondances entre les rongeurs d'espaces marécageux boréaux et le renne ; le bison progresse plutôt avec les rongeurs de bordures d'eau en opposition avec les rongeurs boréaux et le renne. De plus ces données contribuent à la compréhension de la chronologie du site car nous proposons de situer la couche K dans le début du Würm ancien au lieu de la fin du stade isotopique 6 comme cela avait été avancé auparavant.
Etude taphonomique des cervidés de la grotte du Vallonnet (Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Alpes-Maritimes) [Taphonomic study of the cervid bones of Vallonnet cave (Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Alpes-Maritimes, France)]
Authors: Echassoux Anna 
Published: October 2009

Deux Cervidés ont été déterminés parmi les grands mammifères de la grotte du Vallonnet.
Ces faunes proviennent de l'ensemble stratigraphique III, daté d'environ un million d'années, et sont associées à des industries lithiques. Les ossements ont subi une forte destruction dans le sédiment. Les courbes de mortalité, la facturation des ossements et les profils d'altération par les carnivores font penser que les restes de Cervidés ont été accumulés dans la grotte du Vallonnet par les hommes et en moindre importance, par les carnivores. Le porc-épic, intervenu après les deux premiers agents, a largement rongé et donc modifié le matériel.
Étude sédimentologique et palynologique des dépots lacustres tardiglaciaires et holocènes du Gour de Tazenat (Massif Central, France) [Sedimentological and palynological investigations of late glacial and holocene lacustrine deposits of the Gour de Tazenat (Massif Central, France)]
Authors: Juvigné Etienne , Stach-Czerniak Alicja 
Published: October 2009

Cores were taken below 66 m of water from lacustrine deposits of the extinct basaltic maar named "Gour de Tazenat", Chaîne des Puys, Massif Central, France. Those cores allowed us to describe the environmental changes in the northern Chaîne des Puys (France) from the early Late Glacial to the present time.
Geomorphological evolution of the catchment, along with the sedimentological investigations of lacustrine deposits are described. This shows that the only inlet of the lake has formed a delta; the volume of deltaic sediment is almost equal to the volume of the dell eroded by the post-eruptive backward erosion of the inlet. Since the delta is little developped, the lake (and the end of the eruption) should not be much older than Upper Weichselian in spite of TL-dates obtained on quartz grains from the adjacent tufiQ-ing and going back te about 120 ka.
This paper deals also with sedimentological analyses of a 10 m long core that was taken in the muddy deposits of the flat bottom of the lake. That sequence corresponds to a period running from the early Late Glacial to the present time. The overall variations of clay-, water, organic matter contents and percentage of tree pollen throughout the core are correlated with each other.
A thin tephra bed (volcanic ash-falls) was also found and linked with the Pavin volcano based upon trachytic composition of glass shards, along with the stratigraphical position within the Atlantic. That finding allowed us to enlarge the northern fan of the Pavin tephra over the entire Chaîne des Puys.
New results of pollen analyses of the Atlantic to present time period shows the obvious development of Fagus (up to 50% of pollen sum). Later on, two phases of human deforestation are clearly recorded and attributed respectively to Neolithic then Celtic and subsequent populations; those two phases are separeted by a period of natural reforestation.
Five sandy layers are interbedded in the Subboreal to Subatlantic mud; they should have anthropogene origine.
The pollen analysis of the Late glacial to Boreal sequence was published elsewhere (Juvigné and Bastin, 199S). Nevertheless the main relevant results are summarized in this paper: Middle Dryas is particularly well recorded and the Late Dryas can be subdivided in three cold sub-oscillations. The same sequence contains two tephra beds: one is mugearitic within the Altered palynozone and dated at 10,280 yr BP and ; the other is trachytic within the Boreal and dated at about 8220 yr BP.
Le littoral de Corse (France) au Quaternaire [Corsica coast (France, Western Mediterranea) during the Quaternary]
Authors: Conchon Odette 
Published: October 2009

Morphological and sedimentary features of the Quaternary coastal formations (fossiliferous or not) on Corsica island show three groups of deposits. Their interpretation takes into account the modern coastal sedimentation, including storm deposits. In some places, marine pebble ridges give evidence of the post-glacial transgression, locally amplified by tectonic uplift, and steps of this transgression are marked by beach sandstones off the south-western coast. Radio-isotopical datings now available on fossil shells are not in agreement with geological framework ; aminostratigraphy only gived evidence of 5e substadial at St-Florent. Other likely places for the maximum transgression of the Last Interglacial are scattered along the western rocky coast, between 2 m to 17 m above present sea level (without uplifting), or to 30 m at 40 m in uplifted regions. In one place, three marine oscillations were registered for S5e stadial.
Older marine formations were preserved at 20 m to 40 m above sea level along the Western coast and in Vadina-Urbino region in Eastern Aléria plain.
