Arnoldussen | Summary In this review, we discuss the role of adipokines in the onset of puberty in children with obesity during adrenarche and gonadarche and provide a clear and detailed overview of the biological processes of two major players, leptin and adiponectin. Adipokines, especially leptin and adiponectin, seem to induce an early onset of puberty in girls and boys with obesity by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary- gonadal (HPG) axis. Moreover, adipokines and their receptors are expressed in the gonads, suggesting a role in sexual maturation and reproduction. All in all, adipokines may be a clue in understanding mechanisms underlying the onset of puberty in child- hood obesity and puberty onset variability.

Thereby, defining the role of 25 adipokines is of importance in elucidating the variability in puberty as the expression of adipokines is sex-specific and is altered with body composition, adiposity, and during growth spurts. Moreover, adipokines and their receptors are expressed in gonads and several brain regions suggesting involvement in the onset of puberty and sex- ual maturation. Lastly, adipokines interfere in processes regulating timing and duration of puberty, for instance in the HPA and HPG axes which are both key players during adrenarche and gonadarche.

The secretion of estrogen has an inhibitory effect on inhibits the GnRH release from the hypothalamus. pattern of GnRH is important for the regulation of the menstrual cycle. This roughly 28-day-cycle comprises several phases, including the follicular phase and luteal phase. During the follicular phase, increasing levels of FSH stimulate the maturation of follicles and the production of estrogen from the ovaries. This in turn inhibits the release of FSH from the pituitary gland. A high level of estrogen will induce the production of LH by the pituitary gland, resulting in ovula- tion. The matured follicle secretes progesterone thereby inhibiting the release of GnRH.

Leptin stimulates the release of kisspeptin in KNDy neurons, which activates the hypothalamus to produce gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). In response to the release of GnRH, the pituitary gland secretes follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), which stimulates the ovaries to release estrogen resulting in the formation of secondary sex characteristics in girls. Estrogen stimulates the production of leptin. Adiponectin inhibits GnRH release resulting in reduced levels of GnRH and thereby a delayed onset of puberty.

Thereby, leptin plausibly has a minor impact in adrenarche in boys. Since leptin receptors are found in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and testes, they might be involved in the onset of puberty by affecting the HPG axis during gonadarche. Leptin stimulates the release of kisspeptin and GnRH, and as a consequence, it accelerates the onset of puberty (Table 1, Figure 3). In contrast, adiponectin inhibits the secretion of GnRH, GH, LH, and FSH therewith delaying the onset of puberty. However, adiponectin levels are generally lower in men compared with women and even lower in men with obe- age age of 13.4 years. 70 4.1 | Fat storage Many aspects of the reproductive physiology are energetically demanding,71 and therefore, an adequate energy level is necessary.

Firstly, determining both the onset and stage of puberty is rather difficult. For instance, assessing the stage of breast develop- ment in girls with obesity is complicated as clinicians should differenti- 2 changes in response to the activated HPG axis. to determine the onset of puberty refer to secondary sex characteris- tics, such as testicular volume in boys and breast development in girls. A more accurate measurement of puberty onset would be to combine secondary sex characteristics with plasma or serum hormone level measurements such as LH, FSH, adipokines, e.g. leptin. Thereby, differences in puberty measurements could explain variations in the age of puberty onset between boys and girls within different Thereby, resistin is expressed in the testes of rats, but its exact 83 Secondly, male pubertal 1467789x, 2020, 6, Downloaded from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/obr.13005, Wiley Online Library on [10/03/2024].

Leptin activates kisspeptin secretion in KNDy neurons, this activates the production of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), activating the production of testosterone from the testes allowing the development of secondary sex characteristics. Leptin also inhibits the production of testosterone, which may cause a delayed onset of puberty. Adiponectin inhibits GnRH release. Low levels of adiponectin, as a result of TNF-α and IL-6 expression, lead to a reduced inhibition of GnRH. In response to GnRH release, the pituitary gland will secrete FSH and LH, and the testes will produce testosterone resulting in the development of secondary sex characteristics in boys countries, and In addition, the inclusion of a of puberty. ferent time points is complicated, as subjects examined several decades ago presented pronounced differences concerning lifestyle patterns such as nutrition and exercise habits. Lastly, obesity or over- weight is often determined by BMI, a classification based on weight and height measurements. Additionally, it is important that all studies studies or across continents, ethnicities proper age range (8-16 years) is important when assessing the onset (Figure 4). 12-15,17,20-23,49,77-79,84,85 30,47 Furthermore, comparison between studies from dif- 86 Specifically in children, BMI is often dependent on age and growth use the same anthropometric standards and sex-specific cut-offs. 13,14,16-23,49-51,77-80 fat and would represent a more accurate measurement in its regard. Based on this review, several suggestions can be made for further research. Firstly, the roles of adipokines like resistin, chemerin, visfatin, and omentin in puberty onset, fertility, and sexual maturation should be examined in detail. Secondly, future research examining the onset of puberty should combine indicators of puberty onset (e.g. breast development or testicular volume) with plasma or serum hor- mone measurements such as LH, FSH, sex-steroids, adipokines (e.g. spurts. ment in case of growth spurts. distribution of body fat should be taken into account in determining puberty and obesity in children.

The majority of the studies examining boys with obesity indicate an early onset of puberty, while not all reported an earlier onset of puberty. In detail, high leptin, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels combined with low adiponectin levels stimulate the activation of the HPG axis in girls and boys with obesity, and 5, 45, 50, 51 REFERENCES 1.

Future research should focus on assessing puberty onset by measuring consistent puberty markers and determine the percentage of body fat and its distribution and adipokines and hormone serum levels particularly involved in the HPG axis.

A partir du bilan comptable 2. A lâaide dâindicateurs internes IV Les outils dâĂ©valuation des risques I Les enjeux liĂ©s au risque client 1. DĂ©finition et critĂšres de risques On entend par risque client lâensemble des situations dans lesquelles le client pourrait compromettre la pĂ©rennitĂ© du fournisseur. Quelques critĂšres permettent de repĂ©rer le risque client : - la taille et lâĂąge de lâentreprise - le produit quâelle propose, - son client avec ses propres clients (la sous traitance par exemple induit un lien de dĂ©pendance) - le secteur sur lequel elle Ă©volue - la concurrence quâelle subit - et le montant de ses disponibilitĂ©s On peut ainsi rĂ©partir les degrĂ©s de risque : 2. Les impayĂ©s clients : premiĂšre cause de faillite des entreprises Par principe, lâentreprise dĂ©pense avant dâencaisser. En accordant des dĂ©lais de paiement, elle se prive de trĂ©sorerie. Elle a alors un besoin en fonds de roulement (BFR), c'est-Ă -dire besoin de disposer dâune trĂ©sorerie dâavance. Tout retard de paiement engendre donc une augmentation du BFR que lâentreprise nâest parfois plus en Ă©tat de couvrir (dĂ©couvert bancaire).Lorsque le client est insolvable, câest un manque de trĂ©sorerie qui pĂšse sur lâentreprise et donc sur sa pĂ©rennitĂ©. La PME limite donc les risques si certains de ses clients payent comptant. Les entreprises activent donc plusieurs stratĂ©gies pour faire face Ă leurs impayĂ©s : 29% gĂšrent les relances en interne, 24% nĂ©gocient des facilitĂ©s de caisse avec leur banque et 19% nĂ©gocient avec les fournisseurs. II la prise de renseignements pendant la phase commerciale Lâentreprise qui souhaite conclure un contrat avec un prospect professionnel peut consulter un certain nombre de documents disponibles auprĂšs dâorganismes. Les organismes les plus sollicitĂ©s sont : - la greffe du tribunal de commerce : elle dĂ©livre gratuitement des informations sur les entreprises immatriculĂ©es au registre du commerce et des sociĂ©tĂ©s telles que les statuts, les comptes annuels, lâĂ©tat dâendettement, lâextrait kbis. L'extrait Kbis reprĂ©sente la vĂ©ritable « carte d'identitĂ© » Ă jour d'une entreprise immatriculĂ©e au Registre du Commerce et des SociĂ©tĂ©s (RCS). - les sociĂ©tĂ©s spĂ©cialisĂ©es fournissent des informations commerciales et financiĂšres, des documents comptables et des analyses payantes permettant de vĂ©rifier lâĂ©tat de santĂ© des entreprises : - les cabinets de recouvrement et sociĂ©tĂ©s dâassurance : ils rĂ©alisent des enquĂȘtes de solvabilitĂ© et Ă©mettent un avis sur le risque de dĂ©faillance sous forme de score ou de note. - Les banques : les entreprises sont notĂ©es par les banques. La cotation de la banque mesure la capacitĂ© de lâentreprise Ă honorer ses engagements financiers sur 3 ans. GrĂące Ă cette cotation, la PME peut ainsi , par lâintermĂ©diaire de la banque, vĂ©rifier si le prospect ou client est solide financiĂšrement. III LâĂ©valuation de la solvabilitĂ© dâun prospect ou client La solvabilitĂ© correspond Ă la capacitĂ© de lâentreprise Ă faire face Ă ses engagements Ă long terme. Lâentreprise est solvable si la valeur de ses actifs (immobilisations, crĂ©ances, stocks et disponibilitĂ©s) est supĂ©rieure Ă ses emprunts et dettes. Une entreprise peut ĂȘtre solvable mais peut manquer de liquiditĂ©s, c'est-Ă -dire dâargent disponible au quotidien. La liquidĂ© mesure donc la capacitĂ© de lâentreprise Ă faire face Ă ses engagements Ă court terme. 1. A partir du bilan comptable Le bilan comptable fournit des indications sur la santĂ© financiĂšre de lâentreprise prospect Les dĂ©finitions que vous devez maitriser : âą Pour lâactif : Câest quoi une Immobilisation ? La notion d'immobilisation intĂšgre l'ensemble des biens durables dĂ©tenus par une entreprise sur plus d'un exercice comptable et qui ne sont pas destinĂ©s Ă la revente. Les immobilisations financiĂšres correspondent aux actifs financiers d'utilisation durable possĂ©dĂ©s par l'entreprise. Il s'agit notamment des titres de participation, des prĂȘts accordĂ©s⊠Les immobilisations incorporelles comprennent les frais d'Ă©tablissement, les frais de recherche et dĂ©veloppement, les concessions, brevets, licences, marques, logiciels et autres droits similaires, le droit au bail, le fonds commercial. Une immobilisation corporelle correspond Ă un actif physique que lâentreprise entend utiliser au-delĂ de la clĂŽture de lâexercice comptable en cours : les terrains, les constructions, lâagencement et les installations gĂ©nĂ©rales, lâoutillage, le matĂ©riel, les vĂ©hicules, le mobilier et les Ă©quipements informatiques. Que signifie disponibilitĂ©s ? Le poste "DisponibilitĂ©s" est constituĂ© des montants dĂ©tenus en caisse (piĂšces et billets que l'entreprise possĂšde) et des avoirs en banque (argent dĂ©tenu sur les comptes bancaires de l'entreprise). On utilise Ă©galement le terme de trĂ©sorerie. Câest quoi une valeur mobiliĂšre de placement ? Ce sont des titres financiers, actions ou obligations. En comptabilitĂ©, elles correspondent aux excĂ©dents de trĂ©sorerie placĂ©s par l'entreprise. âą Pour le passif : Que signifie capitaux propres ? Les capitaux propres sont les ressources financiĂšres que possĂšde l'entreprise Le capital social dâune entreprise est Ă©gal au montant total des apports de biens et dâargent des associĂ©s Que signifie rĂ©serves ? Cumul des bĂ©nĂ©fices des exercices antĂ©rieurs qui n'ont pas Ă©tĂ© redistribuĂ©s aux propriĂ©taires de l'entreprise, ni intĂ©grĂ©s dans son capital Que signifie rĂ©sultat ? Il correspond aux ressources restantes Ă l'entreprise une fois les charges dĂ©duites du chiffre d'affaires. 2 A lâaide dâindicateurs internes Une entreprise manque souvent de temps et de moyens pour suivre lâensemble des ses encours clients. Toutefois, il est nĂ©cessaire dâanalyser rĂ©guliĂšrement certains supports pour anticiper les problĂšmes de trĂ©sorerie. Elle peut - analyser son portefeuille clients via la mĂ©thode ABC (vu dans un chapitre prĂ©cĂ©dent), - prendre du recul sur les retards de paiement : le service comptable signale les retards de paiement ou les demandes rĂ©guliĂšres de report dâĂ©chĂ©ances. La balance ĂągĂ©e permet de visualiser les clients Ă relancer Exemple : - mettre en place des indicateurs de suivi des impayĂ©s via un tableau Excel Exemple : IV Les outils dâĂ©valuation des risques Les entreprises peuvent se procurer des logiciels dĂ©diĂ©s au risque client mais il sont souvent trĂšs complexes Ă utiliser. Certaines entreprises utilisent le crĂ©dit management : câest lâensemble des procĂ©dures financiĂšres ou juridiques visant Ă optimiser le chiffre dâaffaires de lâentreprise en accĂ©lĂ©rant les rĂšglements clients. Une des mĂ©thodes de crĂ©dit management sâappelle la mĂ©thode des points de risque. Elle consiste Ă classer les clients selon leur risque afin de leur fixer des modalitĂ©s de paiement adaptĂ©s. Elle permet donc dâĂ©valuer les risques de coopĂ©ration et de se prĂ©munir au cas par cas. Exemple de tableau des points de risqueI Le contrat de vente classique 1. LâintĂ©rĂȘt pour la PMI de connaĂźtre la diversitĂ© des contrats commerciaux Les PME-PMI sont rĂ©guliĂšrement amenĂ©es Ă conclure des contrats commerciaux. Il est donc nĂ©cessaire pour lâassistant(e) de gestion de connaĂźtre les diffĂ©rents contrats et les rĂšgles qui les rĂ©gissent. 2. Le transfert de propriĂ©tĂ© DĂšs quâil y a accord entre le vendeur et lâacheteur, il y a transfert de propriĂ©tĂ©. Lâacheteur doit donc assumer les risques dĂšs le transfert de propriĂ©tĂ©. Pour pallier ce risque, il peut prĂ©voir dans le contrat une clause de rĂ©serve en propriĂ©tĂ©, qui a pour effet de diffĂ©rer le transfert de la propriĂ©tĂ© et des risques quâil entraine jusqu'Ă conclusion totale du contrat. 3. Les obligations des parties Les garanties dans le contrat de vente se dĂ©composent ainsi : ï Les garanties obligatoires : o la garantie lĂ©gale de conformitĂ© permettant au client dâobtenir la rĂ©paration, le remboursement ou le remplacement du produit dĂ©fectueux o la garantie contre les vices cachĂ©s : se sont des dĂ©fauts non visibles au moment de lâachat qui rendent le bien inutilisable ï Les garanties complĂ©mentaires ou commerciales : elles sont facultatives pour le client. Elles peuvent ĂȘtre gratuites (mise Ă disposition dâun produit au client durant une rĂ©paration) ou payantes (extension de garantie pour lâachat dâune machine Ă laver) Exercice dâapplication 4. Les recours possibles Lorsquâune procĂ©dure est engagĂ©e, la juridiction compĂ©tente pour statuer lâaffaire est le tribunal de commerce du dĂ©fendeur si le client et lâentreprise sont des commerçants. Les sanctions les plus courantes sont : - infliger des pĂ©nalitĂ©s de retard - obtenir une rĂ©duction de prix - faire exĂ©cuter le contrat par une autre entreprise - obtenir des dommages et intĂ©rĂȘts II Les particularitĂ©s du contrat de vente commerciale Le contrat prĂ©sente certaines particularitĂ©s que la PME doit connaitre : On peut donc considĂ©rer quâun bon de commande est un contrat de vente commerciale, dans la mesure oĂč il rĂ©unit ses clauses. Enfin, il existe des situations ou les engagements peuvent diffĂ©rĂ©s. Câest le cas : - de la vente Ă distance : le client dispose dâun dĂ©lai de rĂ©tractation de 14 jours - la vente avec arrhes : si le client verse des arrhes, il pourra annuler le contrat mais perdra le montant versĂ© Ă lâentreprise. III Les contrats de maintenance et de sous6traitance 1. Le contrat de maintenance Câest un contrat par lequel une entreprise se charge de vĂ©rifier, dâentretenir ou de rĂ©parer un appareil technique ou une installation complexe. Il doit donc spĂ©cifier : - la dĂ©finition de la prestation et le lieu de rĂ©alisation - la durĂ©e du contrat - le prix unitaire ou forfaitaire 2. Le contrat de sous-traitance Il permet Ă une entreprise appelĂ©e « donneur dâordre » de confier la rĂ©alisation dâune prestation Ă une autre entreprise appelĂ©e « sous traitant ». Lâentreprise sâengage Ă payer le sous traitant selon les modalitĂ©s prĂ©vues dans le contrat et reste donc responsable de la rĂ©alisation de la prestation devant le client. Avantages et inconvĂ©nients de la sous-traitance : IV CrĂ©er un contrat via un rĂ©seau de franchise Afin de dĂ©velopper son activitĂ©, lâassistant(e) de gestion peut conclure des contrats commerciaux avec des partenaires Ă©trangers La franchise est une mĂ©thode de collaboration entre, dâune part, une entreprise, le franchiseur, et, dâautre part, une ou plusieurs entreprises, les franchisĂ©s. Son objet est dâexploiter un concept de franchise mis au point par le franchiseur. Tous sont porteurs de la mĂȘme enseigne, symbole de lâidentitĂ© et de la rĂ©putation du rĂ©seau. La garantie de qualitĂ© est assurĂ©e par la transmission et le contrĂŽle du respect du savoir-faire et par la mise Ă disposition dâune gamme homogĂšne de produits, de services et/ou de technologies. a. Le franchiseur Câest un entrepreneur indĂ©pendant qui a mis au point et exploitĂ© avec succĂšs un concept original dans plusieurs unitĂ©s pilotes. Il apporte Ă ses franchisĂ©s une formation initiale et permanente pour leur permettre dâappliquer son concept et consacre Ă la promotion de sa marque, Ă la recherche et Ă lâinnovation, les moyens humains et financiers permettant dâassurer le dĂ©veloppement et la pĂ©rennitĂ© de son concept. b. Le franchisĂ© Câest un entrepreneur indĂ©pendant sĂ©lectionnĂ© par le franchiseur. Il doit avoir la volontĂ© de collaborer loyalement Ă la rĂ©ussite du rĂ©seau de franchise en adhĂ©rant au principe dâhomogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© de ce rĂ©seau, tel que dĂ©fini par le franchiseur. Il engage des moyens financiers, afin de rĂ©tribuer le franchiseur pour ses apports (paiement dâun droit dâentrĂ©e et dâun pourcentage sur le chiffre dâaffaires). c. Les avantages et les inconvĂ©nients du contrat de franchise pour le franchiseur et pour le franchisĂ©. Avantages InconvĂ©nients Franchiseur â DĂ©velopper son rĂ©seau Ă moindres frais. â Faire des Ă©conomies dâĂ©chelle. â MaĂźtriser le dĂ©veloppement de son concept. â DĂ©velopper son image, sa notoriĂ©tĂ©. â Augmenter ses parts de marchĂ©. â AccroĂźtre son chiffre dâaffaires. â Organiser des campagnes publicitaires Ă lâĂ©chelon national. â Transmettre son savoir-faire Ă des commerçants indĂ©pendants. â Assurer une assistance technique et des formations. â Avoir des franchisĂ©s qui dĂ©prĂ©cient lâimage de lâentreprise. FranchisĂ© â Avoir une notoriĂ©tĂ© dĂšs lâouverture du commerce. â Rester un commerçant indĂ©pendant et ĂȘtre responsable de son entreprise. â BĂ©nĂ©ficier du savoir-faire du franchiseur. â BĂ©nĂ©ficier dâune assistance technique, de formations, dâune logistique dâapprovisionnements, etc. â Respecter la charte et les normes du franchiseur, ce qui limite sa libertĂ© de commerçant indĂ©pendant. â Sâacquitter des droits dâentrĂ©e et de redevance. â Avoir une obligation dâapprovisionnement exclusif chez le franchiseur. d. Les clĂ©s de la rĂ©ussite de cette forme de commerce Les clĂ©s de la rĂ©ussite sont : â la collaboration commerciale et technique ; â lâassociation du savoir-faire du franchiseur et de lâesprit entrepreneurial du franchisĂ© ; â les structures organisationnelles sont plus simples et plus Ă©conomiques quâen succursalisme car un bon franchisĂ© est motivĂ© et nâa pas besoin dâĂȘtre poussĂ© ; â câest un systĂšme rapide et Ă©volutif pour couvrir un marchĂ© car investissements et compĂ©tences sont partagĂ©es. e. Les chiffres clĂ©s de la franchise en 2019 f. La typologie des franchisĂ©s âą 60% des franchisĂ©s sont des hommes âą 50% des franchisĂ©s ont entre 35 et 49 ans âą 66% des franchisĂ©s sont dâanciens salariĂ©s du privĂ© âą Chaque franchisĂ© emploie en moyenne 7 salariĂ©s âą 84% des rĂ©seaux sont toujours la propriĂ©tĂ© de leur fondateur âą Chaque rĂ©seau crĂ©e en moyenne 8 nouveaux points de vente par an âą 29% des rĂ©seaux ont des points de vente Ă lâĂ©trangerCaractĂ©ristiques gĂ©nĂ©rales de la synthĂšse de documents La synthĂšse est un exercice assez simple, car trĂšs technique. Pour rĂ©ussir, il faut nĂ©anmoins faire preuve de rigueur car elle est trĂšs codifiĂ©e. Les piĂšges de la synthĂšse La plupart des Ă©tudiants ignorent la technique de synthĂšse telle quâelle est attendue en BTS. Aussi plusieurs piĂšges sont Ă Ă©viter. La synthĂšse nâest pas une dissertation personnelle Premier Ă©cueil : si lâon se souvint de la consigne vue plus avant, le travail demandĂ© doit ĂȘtre objectif. Aucun point de vue personnel ou mĂȘme apprĂ©ciation subjectif sur les documents ne doit apparaĂźtre dans la rĂ©daction. On recommande dâailleurs aux Ă©tudiants de ne pas utiliser le pronom « je » dans leur travail de façon Ă Ă©viter tout malentendu. Le candidat doit donc rapporter les idĂ©es des auteurs de façon neutre, sans jugement de valeur. La synthĂšse nâest pas un rĂ©sumĂ© des documents La plus grande erreur commise en premiĂšre annĂ©e de BTS consiste Ă rĂ©sumer les documents, les uns aprĂšs les autres. Un petit dĂ©tour par lâĂ©tymologie nous permettra de mieux comprendre le travail attendu. Le terme « synthĂšse » vient du grec sunthesis qui signifie « mise en commun ». Il sâagit donc de rassembler les informations collectĂ©es dans les diffĂ©rents documents en un ensemble organisĂ©, donc cohĂ©rent. Les idĂ©es doivent ĂȘtre confrontĂ©es en Ă©tablissant des liens entre les documents. La synthĂšse nâest pas un montage de citations Le Bac de français est derriĂšre vous. Oubliez (en partie) cette Ă©preuve. Ici, pas de citations, de numĂ©ros de lignes pour appuyer votre rĂ©daction. Votre travail consiste Ă reformuler de façon synthĂ©tique le contenu et les enjeux des documents. La nature du travail demandĂ© Une consigne codifiĂ©e pour rĂ©diger votre synthĂšse Trois adjectifs dans cette consigne. Tout dâabord, la synthĂšse doit ĂȘtre concise, câest-Ă -dire courte et dense. Quatre pages maximum sont gĂ©nĂ©ralement attendues Ă lâĂ©preuve. Nous lâavons dĂ©jĂ Ă©voquĂ© plus haut, la synthĂšse est un exercice absolument objectif. Aucune idĂ©e extĂ©rieure aux documents ni commentaire personnel ne doivent figurer dans la rĂ©daction. Enfin, la synthĂšse est un travail ordonnĂ©. Un plan soutient donc la rĂ©daction, on attend ainsi : âą une introduction; âą un dĂ©veloppement; âą une conclusion. La dĂ©marche Ă adopter pour votre synthĂšse La prĂ©paration de la synthĂšse se dĂ©compose en deux temps : âą Un premier temps consacrĂ© Ă la lecture active de chaque document. Les idĂ©es importantes sont relevĂ©es, les arguments sont listĂ©s, le raisonnement de lâauteur est analysĂ©. âą Un second temps consacrĂ© Ă la mise en relation des diffĂ©rents documents de façon Ă Ă©tablir des liens entre eux : il sâagit en fait de recomposer un dĂ©bat entre les auteurs. Sont-ils dâaccord ? Sâopposent-ils ? Si oui sur quels point ? ⊠La synthĂšse : un acte de communication On veut donc vĂ©rifier que vous savez « lire » : câest-Ă -dire que vous ĂȘtes capable de comprendre ce qui est Ă©crit dans les documents et de reformuler selon des contraintes de longueur de texte. LâĂ©tymologie du verbe « lire » nous le confirme : legere, en latin, signifique « choisir » La mĂ©thodologie de synthĂšse en 10 points Voici un rĂ©capitulatif des 10 maladresses principales Ă Ă©viter et des 10 rĂšgles Ă adopter Les interdits de la synthĂšse 1. Faire des citations des auteurs des documents pour soutenir les idĂ©es avancĂ©es. 2. Donner son avis, Ă©mettre des remarques subjectives : ex : lâauteur oublie malheureusement que⊠3. Faire des rĂ©fĂ©rences Ă des documents hors corpus, faire allusion Ă une autre Ćuvre de lâauteur. 4. RĂ©diger un « catalogue » des idĂ©es sans lien logique entre elles. RĂ©diger au fil de son inspiration. 5. RĂ©diger une synthĂšse longue et dĂ©taillĂ©e. 6. Laisser de cĂŽtĂ© un document, parce que lâon ne lâa pas compris ou quâil nous semble inintĂ©ressant⊠7. Utiliser le pronom « je ». 8. Faire un plan apparent (A, BâŠ) avec des titres. 9. Juxtaposer des rĂ©sumĂ©s des documents. 10. Faire rĂ©fĂ©rence aux documents par le numĂ©ro attribuĂ© dans le dossier. Ce quâil faut faire 1. Reformuler les idĂ©es. 2. Rester neutre, objectif. 3. Ne traiter que les documents proposĂ©s. 4. Traiter les idĂ©es selon un plan prĂ©cis. 5. Quatre pages maximum 6. Traiter tous les documents, mĂȘme de façon inĂ©gale, certains documents sont plus « riches » en idĂ©es que dâautres. 7. PrĂ©fĂ©rer le « on » ou le « nous ». 8. RĂ©diger sans titres avec des phrases de transition. 9. Confronter les idĂ©es communes aux documents. 10. Faire rĂ©fĂ©rence aux documents par le nom de lâauteur et lâinitiale du prĂ©nom. Si ces 10 rĂšgles sont respectĂ©es, une importante partie de la mĂ©thode est acquise ! L'Ă©valuation du travail de synthĂšse On se rappelle que cette Ă©preuve est notĂ©e sur 40 points. En rĂšgle gĂ©nĂ©rale, les correcteurs adoptent le barĂšme suivant qui vise Ă valider 4 grandes compĂ©tences, chacune notĂ©e sur 40 points. Comprendre les documents Ces 10 premiers points valident vos compĂ©tences de lecture : Les idĂ©es essentielles ont-elles Ă©tĂ© bien relevĂ©es ? Tous les documents ont-ils Ă©tĂ© bien compris ? LâunitĂ© thĂ©matique des documents doit apparaĂźtre ans le traitement des informations collectĂ©es. Confronter Le correcteur vĂ©rifiera notamment que tous les documents ont bien Ă©tĂ© exploitĂ©s, quâaucune « impasse » nâa Ă©tĂ© faite. Il sanctionnera, le cas Ă©chĂ©ant, lâajout dâidĂ©es extĂ©rieures. Certains Ă©tudiants pensent que lâintroduction dâidĂ©es extĂ©rieures vient enrichir leur travail et montre leur connaissance du sujet. Il faudra attendre lâĂ©preuve dâĂ©criture personnelle pour le faire. Ici, rappelons-le, seuls les documents proposĂ©s Ă lâĂ©tude figurent dans la synthĂšse. La confrontation des idĂ©es sera Ă©galement Ă©valuĂ©e : Le candidat a-t-il Ă©tabli des liens entre les idĂ©es des auteurs ? Chaque partie de la rĂ©daction repose-t-elle sur plusieurs documents ? Structurer Quelle que soit la logique suivie, la synthĂšse suit un plan. Introduction et conclusion doivent apparaĂźtre clairement. La rĂ©daction suit une ligne directrice et un parcours. Les documents sont rĂ©fĂ©rencĂ©s, lâensemble est organisĂ©. Utilisez des connecteurs logiques pour lier les parties entre elles.
