Book excerpt: Depuis les travaux pionniers des années 1970 en éthologie humaine, les objets d'analyse et les domaines d'intervention se sont diversifiés, et la discipline est en plein essor. Un premier objectif est de connaître les comportements tels qu'ils sont exprimés dans leur diversité et leur variabilité dans des contextes environnementaux divers. Ceci suppose une approche d'éthologie fondamentale dont ce volume fournit de très bons exemples, à partir d'études dans l'industrie, dans la distribution et dans des environnements inhabituels. Comme l'illustrent aussi les travaux présentés, l'approche éthologique des comportements de l'homme, espèce dotée de langage et de traditions culturelles, nécessite l'utilisation de nouveaux modèles et de nouveaux outils pour prendre en compte la complexité des comportements exprimés et des stratégies mobilisées. Une préoccupation majeure est également abordée : le bien-être de l'enfant et de l'adulte, sain ou atteint de maladie. Dans un contexte interspécifique, les relations de l'homme et de l'animal sont examinées, notamment dans leurs fonctions thérapeutiques.

Book excerpt: La notion de bien-être animal est centrale dans ce volume, en relation avec les méthodes d'élevage et avec la nécessité éthique de prévenir la douleur et de contrôler la détresse lors des expérimentations. L'éthologie est d'un apport essentiel pour l'évaluation des états de stress et de mal-être, conjointement notamment avec des indicateurs physiologiques ou immunologiques. Plusieurs aspects qui sont au premier plan de l'actualité sont abordés à travers de nombreux travaux de recherche, au regard de la réglementation, du contexte européen et des besoins fondamentaux de l'animal, dont les caractéristiques de la production, le bien-être et la santé, la portée et les limites de l'expérimentation.

Book excerpt: L'éthologie appliquée s'intéresse au comportement des animaux dans leur milieu habituel et en interaction avec l'homme. Les modèles étudiés sont variés : animal de rente, de compagnie, de laboratoire, de sport ou encore animal sauvage, et même entomofaune. Depuis peu, l'approche s'est étendue aux comportements humains. L'éthologie appliquée répond à de multiples préoccupations sociétales, telles que le respect du bien-être animal, la préservation de l'environnement et de la biodiversité, la durabilité des systèmes de production, l'aménagement du territoire ou encore l'amélioration de la santé humaine. Cet ouvrage vise à faire connaître cette jeune discipline scientifique. Il s'adresse à un large public : biologistes, enseignants et étudiants mais aussi professionnels de l'élevage, de l'agronomie, de l'industrie pharmaceutique et vétérinaire, gestionnaires de la faune sauvage, spécialistes du marketing et de l'éducation, et membres d'associations oeuvrant pour le bien-être animal.

Book excerpt: Ce volume traite de différents aspects liés à la gestion de la faune : conservation in situ en aménageant l'habitat de façon à maintenir la diversité des espèces, conservation ex situ avec l'obligation de recherche faite aux parcs zoologiques et les études dites d'enrichissement de l'environnement des espèces captives. De telles actions reposent nécessairement sur un important effort de connaissance de la biologie des espèces et des effets de leur interaction avec l'homme. Ce même besoin est évoqué pour les animaux familiers qui vivent à notre contact direct. Autre vaste domaine d'application : celui de la lutte intégrée qui concerne en particulier les insectes ravageurs de cultures. Enfin sont évoquées les conséquences sur le comportement des insectes pollinisateurs, des modifications génétiques introduites par l'homme chez certaines plantes. Des sujets d'actualité donc, à la fois pour le scientifique et pour la société.
Download or read book The Hidden Structure of Interaction written by Luigi Anolli and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of complexity states that most things tend to organize themselves into recurring patterns, even when these patterns are not immediately visible to an external observer. The general name for the scientific field concerned with the behaviour over time of a dynamic system is complexity theory. The dynamic systems - systems capable of changing over time - are the focus of this approach, and its concern is with the predictability of their behaviour. The systems of interest to the complexity theory, under certain conditions, perform in regular, predictable ways; under other conditions they exhibit behaviour in which regularity and predictability is lost. The concepts of stable and unstable behaviour are part of the traditional repertoire of physical science. What is novel is the concept of something in between - chaotic behaviour. For chaos here we refer to systems which display behaviour that, though it has certain regularities, defies prediction. How does the order emerge from the chaos? How can we predict the behaviour of a chaotic system?Over the last 30 years and more, trying to identify the hidden patterns behind chaotic behaviour became the focus of attention in a number of scientific disciplines. These range as widely as astronomy, chemistry, evolutionary biology, geology and psychology.
Download or read book Ambient Intelligence written by Werner Weber and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-12 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambient intelligence is the vision of a technology that will become invisibly embedded in our natural surroundings, present whenever we need it, enabled by simple and effortless interactions, attuned to all our senses, adaptive to users and context-sensitive, and autonomous. High-quality information access and personalized content must be available to everybody, anywhere, and at any time. This book addresses ambient intelligence used to support human contacts and accompany an individual's path through the complicated modern world. From the technical standpoint, distributed electronic intelligence is addressed as hardware vanishing into the background. Devices used for ambient intelligence are small, low-power, low weight, and (very importantly) low-cost; they collaborate or interact with each other; and they are redundant and error-tolerant. This means that the failure of one device will not cause failure of the whole system. Since wired connections often do not exist, radio methods will play an important role for data transfer. This book addresses various aspects of ambient intelligence, from applications that are imminent since they use essentially existing technologies, to ambitious ideas whose realization is still far away, due to major unsolved technical challenges.
Download or read book The Biology of Religious Behavior written by Jay R. Feierman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a fresh and detailed take on the evolution of religious behavior from a biobehavioral perspective, promoting a new understanding that may help build bridges across the religious divide. There has been much recent interest in the study of religion from the perspective of Darwinian evolution. The Biology of Religious Behavior: The Evolutionary Origins of Faith and Religion offers a broad overview of the topic, written by internationally recognized experts. In addition to its primary focus on religious behavior, the book addresses other important aspects of religion, such as values, beliefs, and emotions as they affect behavior. The contributors approach the evolution of religion by examining the behavior of individuals in their everyday lives. After describing various religious behaviors, the contributors consider the behaviors with reference to their evolutionary history, development during the lifetime of the individual, proximate causes, and adaptive value. Happily, this foray into understanding religion from a biobehavioral perspective demonstrates that, at the biological and behavioral levels, what unites the different religions of the world is far greater than what divides them.
