Abstract
One of the major environmental issues in Finland is the presence of large tracts of acid sulfate soil (ASS) landscapes along the coast. Accurately identifying the distribution of ASS sediments, and in particular soil pH, is essential for developing targeted management strategies. One approach is the use of digital soil mapping (DSM) with various ancillary information. Although electromagnetic (EM) induction data has shown potential in mapping ASS, few studies have been conducted to map the spatial distribution of pH at different depths. In this study, a DUALEM-21S was used to collect apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) data across a 23-ha field near Vaasa, which lies along the western coast of Finland. A quasi-3D inversion algorithm was used to calculate the estimated true electrical conductivity (σ - mS m-1). A calibration relationship was developed between σ and incubation-pH measured at various depths from topsoil (0-0.2 m), subsurface (0.2-0.4 m) and subsoil (e.g. 0.4-0.6 and 1.8-2 m) using an artificial neural network (ANN) model. The performance of the ANN model was good given the large R2 values for calibration (0.72) and validation (0.65). It was concluded that the combination of ECa data and quasi-3D inversion algorithm (in EM4Soil) was able to map the spatial distribution of incubation-pH associated within an ASS landscape. The approach has the potential to be applied across the coastal areas of Finland and elsewhere to map incubation-pH and identify active-ASS areas and thereby improve the management of these areas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vulnerable children are at-risk newborns including premature infants and some children with pathologies presented by fear anomalies and deficiencies, most particularly neurological. Monitoring is based on the detection of these abnormalities and their early management. The organization of this monitoring system is based on a network of doctors, mostly pediatricians, trained regularly. The objective of this review was to assess the resources, means, and results of 10 years of follow-up. METHODS The Pays de la Loire network includes 24 maternity wards and 13 neonatal departments. Annual admissions are around 5000 newborns to approximately 45,000 annual births. Upon discharge of newborns, born prematurely at 34 weeks of gestation (WG) or less, or term infants with neurological problems, parents are asked to have their child monitored by a referring doctor. During the consultation, a reference document is filled out by the doctor and sent to the project manager for data collection and specific compensation for private practitioners. Standardized questionnaires were used such as the ASQ (Ages and Stage Questionnaire) completed by parents, the developmental quotient (DQ) with the Lézine Brunet-Revised test (BLR), the intelligence quotient (IQ) with the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WIPPSI III) completed by psychologists employed in the network, and a questionnaire completed by the teacher at 5 years of age. RESULTS The network started on 1st March 2003, and 28th February 2013, after 10 years of inclusion, 10,800 children had been included. This population accounts for 2.4% of all annual births: 1.1% were included for prematurity less than 33 weeks and 0.25% were term-born infants. The characteristics of children are presented with gestational age, birth weight, and obstetric and neonatal pathologies. The percentage of these children followed was 80% at 2 years and 63% at 5 years. At 2 years, the results are presented according to gestational age with approximately 60% of children without disabilities at 25-26 WG, 73% at 27-28 WG, 77% at 29-30 WG, and 86% at 31-32 WG. Absorptions are diverse and vary according to the age of the child with physical therapy, psychomotor skill work, speech therapy, hearing and vision consultations, and psychology/psychiatry. Assessment tools were refined by specific analyses: the ASQ 24 months (completed by parents) was deemed valid and predictive with respect to IQ (abandoned in 2012), and the grid completed by the teacher was found to predict abnormalities in 5 years. CONCLUSION The Pays de la Loire monitoring network has met its initial objective, namely to detect disabilities early and provide practical help to parents in a population of vulnerable children. Benefits for professionals and other children not followed in the network were observed, with an increase in pediatricians' skills. The benefits of the evaluation results are more difficult to assess with the care than neonatal care in obstetrics. The sustainability of such a network seems assured for healthcare professionals, provided that funding is maintained by the health authorities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES - Follow-up networks for newborns with a handicap risk need to be put into place downstream of the perinatal health networks. Such a network was implemented in the Pays de la Loire region in 2003. Our objective is to evaluate the feasibility and the capacity to detect infants with an incapacitating condition at nine months corrected age and the patents'satisfaction with such a network. MATERIAL AND METHODS - A common tool based on the Amiel Tison assessment was set up. Infants included since 1(st) March 2003 and who were two years old corrected age on 1(st) September 2006 were taken into consideration. A satisfaction survey was conducted with the parents of infants showing normal development at two years old corrected age or with an abnormal neuromotor examination. RESULTS - Amongst the 1339 infants included, 1185 (88.4 %) were seen at the age of two years: 7.3 % showed pathological development, 4.5 % infants showed suspect neuromotor examination. Cares were proposed for 11% of the infants followed, permitting cares from nine months old for 65 % of the infants considered as having a pathological development at the age of two years. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION - This follow-up network has fulfilled its initial goal: 2.2 % of newborn babies in the region were included, a low rate of lost for follow-up was observed. Moreover, this network has a relative good capacity for detection and early initiation of care. The application of the parents is important and their level of satisfaction appeared to be high. This experiment shows that regional follow-up networks can become reality, but their efficiency still needs to be improved.

Abstract
Newborns are given attentive perinatal care but the organization of further follow-up can be haphazard. The main consequences are the difficulties parents have in finding appropriate medical assistance for caring for high-risk infants and the absence of appropriate surveillance or efficient care. An inpatient-outpatient healthcare network enables early care of these infants and can reduce the consequences of neurosensorial sequelae. The overall impact of the regional perinatal care can also be evaluated. Such a network has been implemented in the Pays de Loire region in France since early 2003. In six months, among 1000 initially included infants, 500 were followed by pediatricians working in an outpatient (40%) or inpatient (60%) setting. This organization enables correction of over-centralization of neonatal care and the absence of coordination for follow up.

Abstract
After a brief review of the dysgenetic abnormalities which may affect the ear, branchial arches and pouches and the kidneys, the authors summarise those syndromes associating abnormalities of the ear and kidney on the one hand, and secondly abnormalities of the ear and facial and cervical fistulae. However, they are specifically interested in the branchio-oto-renal syndrome, reporting 5 cases. The syndrome combines deafness (middle ear and inner ear), pre-auricular and cervical fistulae and renal abnormalities. They attempt to summarise the syndrome by combining these 5 cases with the 15 published previously (4 initial cases of Melnick in 1974, 4 cases of Fitch in 1976, 7 of Fraser in 1978). The genetically transmissible nature of the syndrome would appear to be beyond doubt. The branchio-oto-renal syndrome was described for the first time in 1974 by Melnick, Bixter and Silk, who reported its existence in a father and three of his children, with an association of a malformation of the middle ear (block of the stapes), of the inner ear (cochlear hypoplasia), bilateral pre-auricular fistulae, bilateral cervical fistulae and renal hypoplasia with or without displasia. In 1974, Fitch and Srolowitz reported 4 new cases, and Fraser, Ling, Ologe and Nogrady a further 7 in 1978. The 5 cases published here bring the total known number to 20.
