Download or read book Virtual Geographic Environments written by Hui Lin and published by ESRI Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual Geographic Environments, edited by Hui Lin and Michael Batty, collects key papers that define the current momentum in GIS and "virtual geographies." Contributions by leading members of the geospatial community to Virtual Geographic Environments illustrate the cutting edge of GIScience, as well as new applications of GIS with the processing and delivery of geographic information through the Web and handheld devices, forming two major directions to these developments. The four-part organization leads from a primer on VGEs to virtual cities and landscapes, interface design and public participation, and finally mobile and networked VGEs. Current topics, such as crowd sourcing and related services, point to the development of new business models that merge proprietary and nonproprietary systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durant le dernier demi-siècle, une importante révolution scientifique et technique a profondément transformé le vécu et les représentations de l'accouchement. Parallèlement, l'exercice de la profession de sage-femme a lui-même connu une évolution considérable, passant de la plus large autonomie à la dépendance envers la médecine et l'hôpital. À partir d'une centaine de témoignages écrits de sages-femmes recueillis avec le concours de la Société d'histoire de la naissance, Yvonne Knibiehler retrace cette évolution. Chemin faisant, elle interroge le statut de ce métier "féminin" par excellence, confronté au pouvoir médical et à la domination masculine. Face au "dépérissement" de leur profession, les sages-femmes sauront-elles retrouver une mission qui leur soit propre ?

Book excerpt: Protéger l'homme "au moment où il arrive au port de la vie", telle est la mission que les gouvernements français, de l'Ancien Régime à la IIIe République, assignent aux sages-femmes. Accompagnatrices des mères et désormais membres du corps médical, les sages-femmes se sont constituées au cours du XIXe siècle en profession scientifique, détentrice d'un savoir riche et varié. Partout en France, leur formation a occupé administrateurs et médecins, faisant naître des dizaines d'écoles départementales, dont le dynamisme n'a souvent eu que peu à envier à l'école de l'Hospice de la Maternité de Paris. Du cours hospitalier à la véritable école-maternité, les institutions de formation ont accueilli en un siècle des dizaines de milliers de jeunes femmes qui, leur diplôme en main, se sont faites dans les campagnes les "institutrices du système de santé" français. Lettrées, compétentes et respectées, les sages-femmes ont ainsi fait bénéficier leurs patientes d'une qualité de soins acquise aux meilleures sources du savoir obstétrical. Légitimées par leur formation et le monopole que l'Etat leur accorde face aux matrones, elles ont mis au monde l'essentiel de la population française, ont vacciné des générations de nouveau-nés et se sont faites les chantres de l'hygiène pasteurienne dès ses débuts. L'histoire de l'émergence de ce corps professionnel, né d'une volonté politique et du consentement des accoucheuses, est riche d'enseignements pour les enjeux contemporains de la naissance et de ses acteurs.
