Download or read book Technology and Ethics written by Philippe Goujon and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology and Ethics. A European Quest for Responsible Engineering, edited by B. Heriard Dubreuil and his team (University Lille) is in many regards an innovative publication. It is the first fully European contribution to the field of engineering ethics and the result of an intensive cooperation between ethicists and engineers from all the member countries of the European Union. The basic structure of the book is both the distinction and interaction between three levels of analysis: personal responsibility of engineers, the institutional level (business organisations) and the impact of technology on society and culture. On the personal level, the book deals with problems such as the role of professional codes and the fact that engineers must cope with flexibility, shorter lines of decision and erosion of the boundaries between private and professional life. On the meso level, the book deals with different aspects of decision making in the context of business organizations, such as quality management, technology assessment procedures, business ethics committees etc... On the macro level, the authors focus on the power of technology. Together with the influences from other social, economic and political actors, the decisions of engineers change the world in a way which is of moral significance.

Book excerpt: Jay W. Forrester (1918 - 2016) was a pioneering American computer engineer and systems scientist. He was a professor at MIT and later at MIT Sloan School of Management. Forrester is credited with being one of the inventors of magnetic core memory, the creator of the first computer animation, and the father of the field of System Dynamics - a computer-aided approach for strategy and policy design. In Principles of Systems, Professor Forrester explains the basic principles behind system behavior. He introduces the concepts of structure and dynamic behavior that were first introduced in his prior books, Industrial Dynamics (1961) and Urban Dynamics (1971). Due to the general nature and wide applicability of the principles discussed, this book has been adopted by numerous colleges and universities as an introduction to teaching System Dynamics in many multidisciplinary courses on urban, environmental, corporate, and other complex social systems. The accompanying workbook also allows students to gauge their learning throughout the book. The book serves on its own as well as being a complement to other books on the nature of social systems. Professor Forrester wrote many widely known papers in engineering and management. In addition, his other books laid the foundations for the application of System Dynamics to the behavior of complex social systems: Industrial Dynamics, reprinted in 1999, originally published in 1961 Urban Dynamics, 1969 World Dynamics, Second Edition 1973, originally published in 1971 Collected Papers of Jay W. Forrester, 1975 These are available for purchase at www.systemdynamics.org.

Download or read book Health for all Children written by David M B Hall and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-09-07 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of the fourth edition of this highly successful book, there have been a number of Government initiatives, reports and policies on how the health of children can best be protected and promoted. This revised fourth edition incorporates recent material on the National Service Framework, 'Every Child Matters', the public health report 'Choosing Health', and the Children Act. It has also been informed by new research on a variety of topics including Sure Start, obesity, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and language acquisition. Health for all Children 4/e (revised) continues the themes of previous editions, in particular highlighting the growing evidence that behavioural problems and educational failure are not inevitable, and can be prevented. Thus the role of screening for developmental problems, while not ignored, is set in the context of what can be done to promote language development, reading, and enthusiasm for learning. Changes made to the fourth edition, and continued in this revised edition, include dealing with the health care needs of children of school age as well as pre-school children. It also outlines the needs of special groups of children, including those who are vulnerable or disabled and those living in unusual circumstances. The legislative framework is outlined and hallmarks of good practice described. Promoting children's health is a key focus, with updated information on nutrition and injury prevention, and emphasis on the importance of parent education and support, language, and literacy skills, with a review of behavioural management programmes for parents. It also describes the duties laid on PCTs with regard to education and social services support. This established and successful book continues to be essential reading for all health professionals who work with children, whether in the community or at the receiving end of referrals. It will also provide vital background knowledge for those charged with the responsibility of planning, commissioning and monitoring. This revised fourth edition provides the most up to date evidence in a rapidly changing field.

Download or read book Asthme et enfant apports de la th rapie familiale written by Luigi Onnis and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qu’est-ce que l’asthme ? Cette maladie est-elle uniquement physiologique ou peut-elle aussi avoir des origines psychologiques ? Quelle est l’influence des facteurs émotionnels sur l’évolution de la maladie ? Comment aider les enfants qui en souffrent ? C’est à toutes ces questions que Asthme et enfant : apports de la thérapie familiale tente de répondre au travers de l’exemple de Gianni. Gianni a dix ans et sa vie est perturbée par des crises d’asthme depuis l’âge de trois ans. Luigi Onnis nous retrace son parcours : comment a-t-il vécu sa maladie ? Comment ses proches l’ont-ils affrontée ? Quel est son avenir ? Comment va-t-il pouvoir s’épanouir... Sur base de cet exemple très concret, ce livre nous offre un état des lieux clair et actualisé des données sur l’asthme et nous rassure sur la multiplicité des possibilités thérapeutiques efficaces. En effet, si l’asthme est certainement déterminé par un mécanisme biologique, il peut aussi être influencé par des facteurs psychologiques comme, par exemple, des stress émotionnels liés parfois aux conditions de vie de l’enfant. En d’autres termes, lorsque l’on cesse de considérer l’enfant asthmatique comme un corps à réparer et qu’il redevient une personne à soigner, quand une réelle collaboration entre médecin, famille et psychologue se noue, les résultats cliniques et le pronostic de la maladie s’améliorent souvent d’une manière surprenante. Ce texte fondamental intéressera autant les professionnels que les parents...
