Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La perception du risque est devenue en quelques décennies un sujet majeur de connaissance théorique et pratique, s’affirmant comme un élément central de l’analyse du risque et encore plus actuellement avec l’émergence d’un nouveau risque, l’épidémie/pandémie de la Covid-19. Face à l’expertise organisée par les pouvoirs publics, chacun réagit à travers sa perception du risque, qui est une évaluation subjective fondée sur ses croyances, son expérience et surtout sur ses émotions. Parmi ces émotions, la peur est le principal déterminant des comportements face au risque. À la croisée des sciences sociales, de l’épidémiologie et de la santé publique, cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’en poser les fondamentaux, d’en analyser les impacts et d’aider à la prise de décision. Il s’appuie sur les principaux travaux et recherches internationales publiés, des exemples concrets (VIH, vache folle, chikungunya, grippe A/HINI…) et un chapitre conclusif spécifiquement sur la Covid-19. À ce titre, il s’adresse aux professionnels et décideurs de santé publique, aux médecins, experts et chercheurs travaillant sur les risques de toutes natures, mais également à tous ceux qui souhaitent disposer de connaissances sur les dynamiques des comportements face au risque.

Download or read book Risques s curit sanitaire et processus de d cision written by Michel Setbon and published by Elsevier Masson. This book was released on 2004 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les risques sanitaires sont devenus un sujet récurrent de controverse sociale, de débat scientifique et d'intervention publique. Sida, vache folle, amiante, OGM, rayonnements ionisants et autres légionelloses représentent autant de phénomènes qui ont pour dénominateur commun leur qualification publique de risque sanitaire. Le récent développement de la sécurité sanitaire comme champ spécifique de la santé publique est venu faire écho à une explosion de la demande sociale de protection contre tous les dangers et risques, qui semble caractériser nos sociétés modernes. Discerner les risques représentant une réelle menace pour les populations concernées et déterminer les mesures appropriées capables d'en prévenir l'extension représentent l'enjeu central permanent auquel se trouve confronté ce nouveau dispositif. Les processus de décision organisés autour d'une expertise scientifique mandatée par les gestionnaires politiques en représentent l'étape clé. L'ouvrage expose les résultats d'une recherche collective portant sur huit processus de décision initiés pour répondre à des dangers ou à des risques relevant des trois secteurs concernés : le système de santé, l'alimentation et l'environnement. Il s'agissait, après avoir identifié les principaux éléments, d'en déterminer les variables et les logiques structurantes, ainsi que le degré de cohérence entre la connaissance produite et l'action décidée. Il a été ainsi possible de vérifier dans quelle mesure les conclusions de l'expertise se retrouvaient dans les décisions prises, d'identifier les facteurs de divergence et, plus largement, de rendre compte des voies par lesquelles se construit l'action publique face aux risques sanitaires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La gestion des risques est un enjeu stratégique contribuant à la sauvegarde de la valeur pour les organisations. Il s'agit d'un "objet frontière" car gérer le risque consiste à faire le lien entre les différentes parties prenantes au sein des entreprises. Une partie met en exergue les notions et enjeux liés à la gestion des risques, une autre vise à apporter un éclairage complémentaire sur des enjeux précis auxquels la gestion des risques peut apporter des solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage traite de l'évolution de la gestion des risques vers une approche globale et intégrée à toutes les décisions d'un organisme, stratégiques, tactiques et opérationnelles, connue sous le nom d'ERM - Entreprise-wide Risk Management - sous tendue par la norme ISO 31000. Contrairement à l'approche traditionnelle de la gestion des risques, la démarche d'ERM améliore la performance d'un organisme en intégrant la prise en compte des menaces et des opportunités dans le processus de développement de la stratégie par le biais d'une démarche systématique de gestion des risques. L'ERM vise à optimiser la prise de risques : saisir les opportunités tout en contenant les menaces. Il est donc au coeur de toute stratégie d'entreprise. L'ERM propose en effet une approche systématique de gestion globale et intégrée de l'incertitude qui pèse sur un organisme (c'est-à-dire les risques "critiques" positifs, les opportunités, ainsi que négatifs, les menaces) de façon à maximiser la performance de l'organisme, et en particulier la création de valeur pour les investisseurs (ou actionnaires), en optimisant la prise de risque. Cet ouvrage n'est pas un livre de cuisine mais un questionnement sur tous les défis que doit relever tout entrepreneur, tout cadre dirigeant, tout homme politique face aux incertitudes de demain et d'après-demain pour faire avancer la société, même en temps de chaos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les sociétés, gérer les risques est devenu un acte de management incontournable, un métier à part entière dans les grandes entreprises et une préoccupation constante des petites et moyennes dont on connaît le dynamisme mais aussi la fragilité. Cette notion, auparavant perçue comme réservée à une poignée de spécialistes, est maintenant de plus en plus prise en compte et les entreprises cherchent à l'intégrer dans leur organisation.

Management du risque regroupe les documents normatifs nationaux et internationaux concernant : la terminologie, les méthodes et outils avec notamment la traduction française de la norme australienne ASINZS 4360 et le FD X 50-252, des illustrations en matière de risque environnemental, médical, projet ou encore informatique. Que vous soyez dirigeants d'entreprise, responsables qualité, environnement et sécurité, risk managers ou directeurs de risques, vous disposerez ainsi de toute la documentation pour prendre en compte le risque et apprendre à le manager aujourd'hui pour mieux le maîtriser demain.

Download or read book Taking a Multisectoral One Health Approach A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2018 FAO-OIE-WHO (Tripartite) zoonoses guide, “Taking A Multisectoral, One Health Approach: A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries” (2018 TZG) is being jointly developed to provide member countries with practical guidance on OH approaches to build national mechanisms for multisectoral coordination, communication, and collaboration to address zoonotic disease threats at the animal-human-environment interface. The 2018 TZG updates and expands on the guidance in the one previous jointly-developed, zoonoses-specific guidance document: the 2008 Tripartite “Zoonotic Diseases: A Guide to Establishing Collaboration between Animal and Human Health Sectors at the Country Level”, developed in WHO South-East Asia Region and Western Pacific Region. The 2018 TZG supports building by countries of the resilience and capacity to address emerging and endemic zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, Ebola, and Rift Valley fever, as well as food-borne diseases and antimicrobial resistance, and to minimize their impacts on health, livelihoods, and economies. It additionally supports country efforts to implement WHO International Health Regulations (2005) and OIE international standards, to address gaps identified through external and internal health system evaluations, and to achieve targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2018 TZG provides relevant country ministries and agencies with lessons learned and good practices identified from country-level experiences in taking OH approaches for preparedness, prevention, detection and response to zoonotic disease threats, and provides guidance on multisectoral communication, coordination, and collaboration. It informs on regional and country-level OH activities and relevant unisectoral and multisectoral tools available for countries to use.

Download or read book Vulnerable written by Colleen M. Flood and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.

Download or read book Work and Quality of Life written by Nora P. Reilly and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employees have personal responsibilities as well as responsibilities to their employers. They also have rights. In order to maintain their well-being, employees need opportunities to resolve conflicting obligations. Employees are often torn between the ethical obligations to fulfill both their work and non-work roles, to respect and be respected by their employers and coworkers, to be responsible to the organization while the organization is reciprocally responsible to them, to be afforded some degree of autonomy at work while attending to collaborative goals, to work within a climate of mutual employee-management trust, and to voice opinions about work policies, processes and conditions without fear of retribution. Humanistic organizations can recognize conflicts created by the work environment and provide opportunities to resolve or minimize them. This handbook empirically documents the dilemmas that result from responsibility-based conflicts. The book is organized by sources of dilemmas that fall into three major categories: individual, organizational (internal policies and procedures), and cultural (social forces external to the organization), including an introduction and a final integration of the many ways in which organizations can contribute to positive employee health and well-being. This book is aimed at both academicians and practitioners who are interested in how interventions that stem from industrial and organizational psychology may address ethical dilemmas commonly faced by employees.

Download or read book Fallen Soldiers written by George L. Mosse and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-12-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the outbreak of the First World War, an entire generation of young men charged into battle for what they believed was a glorious cause. Over the next four years, that cause claimed the lives of some 13 million soldiers--more than twice the number killed in all the major wars from 1790 to 1914. But despite this devastating toll, the memory of the war was not, predominantly, of the grim reality of its trench warfare and battlefield carnage. What was most remembered by the war's participants was its sacredness and the martyrdom of those who had died for the greater glory of the fatherland. War, and the sanctification of it, is the subject of this pioneering work by well-known European historian George L. Mosse. Fallen Soldiers offers a profound analysis of what he calls the Myth of the War Experience--a vision of war that masks its horror, consecrates its memory, and ultimately justifies its purpose. Beginning with the Napoleonic wars, Mosse traces the origins of this myth and its symbols, and examines the role of war volunteers in creating and perpetuating it. But it was not until World War I, when Europeans confronted mass death on an unprecedented scale, that the myth gained its widest currency. Indeed, as Mosse makes clear, the need to find a higher meaning in the war became a national obsession. Focusing on Germany, with examples from England, France, and Italy, Mosse demonstrates how these nations--through memorials, monuments, and military cemeteries honoring the dead as martyrs--glorified the war and fostered a popular acceptance of it. He shows how the war was further promoted through a process of trivialization in which war toys and souvenirs, as well as postcards like those picturing the Easter Bunny on the Western Front, softened the war's image in the public mind. The Great War ended in 1918, but the Myth of the War Experience continued, achieving its most ruthless political effect in Germany in the interwar years. There the glorified notion of war played into the militant politics of the Nazi party, fueling the belligerent nationalism that led to World War II. But that cataclysm would ultimately shatter the myth, and in exploring the postwar years, Mosse reveals the extent to which the view of death in war, and war in general, was finally changed. In so doing, he completes what is likely to become one of the classic studies of modern war and the complex, often disturbing nature of human perception and memory.

Download or read book Preventing Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Against Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intimate partner violence and sexual violence are significant global health problems and human rights issues. Under the rubric of violence against women the two overlapping issues have received increasing attention. Much of the response to these forms of violence has focussed either on advocacy, providing adequate health and legal services and ensuring safety of victims once violence is disclosed, or on screening for violence in the context of health services. When the word "prevention" is used, it is usually in reference to secondary and tertiary prevention - helping women get out of violent situations and preventing further violence. Little attention has been given to primary prevention - addressing the root causes with the goal of reducing the number of new cases. Recent hallmark publications have called for increased investment in primary prevention. As part of the Global Campaign for Violence Prevention, WHO is giving increased attention to the primary prevention of intimate partner violence and sexual violence. Preventing intimate partner and sexual violence against women: taking action and generating evidence is an important new tool for violence prevention researchers, practitioners and advocates provides a planning framework for developing policies and programmes for the prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence. This guide outlines the nature, magnitude, risks and consequences of intimate partner and sexual violence. It outlines strategies to prevent these forms of violence against women and describes how these can be tailored to the needs, capacities and resources of particular settings. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating scientific evaluation into all prevention activities in order to expand current knowledge of what works. The manual describes interventions of known effectiveness, those supported by emerging evidence, and those that could potentially be effective, but have yet to be sufficiently evaluated for their impact. For instance, school-based programmes to prevent violence occurring in "dating relationships" have been shown to be effective in randomized trials in the USA and Canada. Evidence is emerging for the effectiveness of empowerment approaches which use microfinance combined with gender-equality training or are based on communications and relationship skills training such as the Stepping Stones training package, which has been widely used in low- and middle-income countries. Strategies that aim to prevent intimate partner and sexual violence through reducing the harmful use of alcohol also show promise. A six-step framework for planning, implementing and evaluating such prevention programmes and policies is presented. This document is primarily aimed at policy-makers, programme planners and donors from public health and related sectors who seek to advance the prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence against women. In addition to the principal audience, other interested parties will include those working in other government sectors such as education, child welfare, social care, criminal justice and departments of women or gender equality; advocates from civil society organizations; local authorities; environmental and urban planners; and researchers."
