Download or read book Enfants maltrait s Les chiffres et leur base juridique en France written by TURSZ Anne and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans son rapport mondial sur la violence et la santé de 2002, l’OMS indiquait que les très jeunes enfants étaient les plus exposés au risque d’homicide. La France n'échappe pas à cette douloureuse règle statistique : c'est avant l'âge d'un an que le taux d'homicides est le plus élevé par rapport à tous les âges de la vie. Le problème de la maltraitance est régulièrement évoqué, dans notre pays, comme prioritaire, sans qu'on dispose pour autant de données épidémiologiques fiables. En revanche, le sujet est très fortement médiatisé mais, derrière cet étalage de faits divers, les lacunes dans la connaissance scientifique sont immenses. Face à ce constat, cet ouvrage a un triple objectif : 1) analyser le cadre juridique et institutionnel du recueil d'information sur les enfants maltraités, 2) faire le bilan des connaissances statistiques et épidémiologiques, en soulignant les problèmes de fiabilité des données et en en réalisant une synthèse, suivie de recommandations, 3) proposer un outil aux professionnels de la petite enfance, leur apportant des chiffres propres à étayer et évaluer leurs actions, les principaux textes de lois et un annuaire des informations accessibles sur Internet. Cet ouvrage apporte des éléments très novateurs en France et combat des idées reçues, notamment le présupposé d'un lien obligé entre maltraitance et précarité. Cet ouvrage, seul en France à faire le bilan de l'ensemble des connaissances sur la magnitude du problème de la maltraitance, est aussi un outil d'enseignement. Il s'adresse aux Professionnels de la petite enfance, de l'éducation, du social, du sanitaire, du judiciaire, des administrations et services déconcentrés de l'état, des collectivités territoriales et du système de santé. Associations luttant pour la protection de l'enfance. Organismes de formations médico-sociales. Chercheurs et enseignants en santé publique. Sociologues de la famille et de l'adolescent.

This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les grandes études en population s’accompagnent de plus en plus souvent de la constitution d’une biobanque, associant aux données cliniques, biologiques, environnementales et comportementales collectées la conservation d’échantillons biologiques. Les biobanques constituent ainsi un élément indispensable des dispositifs d’information sur l’état de santé lié aux phénotypes, aux génotypes et aux facteurs d’environnement. La conservation des informations recueillies devient alors indispensable, permettant de disposer de données déjà collectées pour apporter une réponse rapide lorsque surgit une nouvelle question de santé publique ou pour mesurer les paramètres biologiques à l’aide de méthodes plus performantes qu’au moment du recueil des informations ou selon de nouveaux de paramètres. L’objectif de ce livre est de faire le point sur les principaux aspects de la constitution, du fonctionnement et de l’utilisation de biobanques associées à des études en population générale et d’apporter une aide pour l’établissement du cahier des charges d’une biobanque. L’ouvrage comporte : des recommandations générales qui reflètent l’état de l’art en matière d’ingénierie de biobanques ; des éléments relatifs aux principaux choix stratégiques concernant la structure chargée de la conservation des échantillons biologiques et les options techniques pouvant être retenues pour le traitement et la conservation des échantillons ; une présentation de l’infrastructure nationale BIOBANQUES, qui coordonne l’ensemble des biobanques en France et assure le lien avec les structure scientifiques équivalentes à l’échelle européenne et internationale. Cet ouvrage s’adresse : aux médecins et chercheurs impliqués dans la collecte et l’exploitation des ressources biologiques.

Download or read book Corpus written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have we thought “the body”? How can we think it anew? The body of mortal creatures, the body politic, the body of letters and of laws, the “mystical body of Christ”—all these (and others) are incorporated in the word Corpus, the title and topic of Jean-Luc Nancy’s masterwork. Corpus is a work of literary force at once phenomenological, sociological, theological, and philosophical in its multiple orientations and approaches. In thirty-six brief sections, Nancy offers us at once an encyclopedia and a polemical program—reviewing classical takes on the “corpus” from Plato, Aristotle, and Saint Paul to Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, and Freud, while demonstrating that the mutations (technological, biological, and political) of our own culture have given rise to the need for a new understanding of the body. He not only tells the story of this cultural change but also explores the promise and responsibilities that such a new understanding entails. The long-awaited English translation is a bold, bravura rendering. To the title essay are added five closely related recent pieces—including a commentary by Antonia Birnbaum—dedicated in large part to the legacy of the “mind-body problem” formulated by Descartes and the challenge it poses to rethinking the ancient problems of the corpus. The last and most poignant of these essays is “The Intruder,” Nancy’s philosophical meditation on his heart transplant. The book also serves as the opening move in Nancy’s larger project called “The deconstruction of Christianity.”

Download or read book Should Trees Have Standing written by Christopher D. Stone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972, Should Trees Have Standing? was a rallying point for the then burgeoning environmental movement, launching a worldwide debate on the basic nature of legal rights that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, in the 35th anniversary edition of this remarkably influential book, Christopher D. Stone updates his original thesis and explores the impact his ideas have had on the courts, the academy, and society as a whole. At the heart of the book is an eminently sensible, legally sound, and compelling argument that the environment should be granted legal rights. For the new edition, Stone explores a variety of recent cases and current events--and related topics such as climate change and protecting the oceans--providing a thoughtful survey of the past and an insightful glimpse at the future of the environmental movement. This enduring work continues to serve as the definitive statement as to why trees, oceans, animals, and the environment as a whole should be bestowed with legal rights, so that the voiceless elements in nature are protected for future generations.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.
