Download or read book Brussels and Europe written by Roel de Groof and published by ASP / VUBPRESS / UPA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after the conclusion of the Treaties of Rome (25 March 1957) and the foundation of the European Economic Community, Brussels has become a political world city and international capital with global influence. The acta of the interuniversity and international colloquium, held in Brussels on 18 and 19 December 2006, present a general outline of the research results and 26 contributions, based on original research and divided into three parts. The first part focuses on Brussels' position in the 'world city network'. How has Brussels grown into the European and international 'capital' we know today? What exactly is its legal status as the European 'Capital'? Of course, other aspects such as the relationship between the Brussels-Capital Region and the Europe of Regions and the role of Brussels as the place for lobbying the European Union are also examined. The second part focuses on the interaction between the European institutions and Brussels. What are the socioeconomic, demographic, political and linguistic effects of their presence? Finally, a number of pressure points and areas of tension are analysed. How is Brussels 'imagined' or represented as the capital of Europe? And what is the impact of the European presence on urban planning and security policy? -- Back cover.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce volume contient des pistes de réflexion concernant deux questions relatives aux effets du sentiment d'insécurité sur la cohésion sociale : pourquoi la société européenne d'aujourd'hui - porteuse dans son patrimoine des gènes de la solidarité et d'identité collective - est-elle créatrice d'une demande sécuritaire pouvant parfois paraître irrationnelle ? Y a-t-il des moyens institutionnels et politiques pour déconstruire ces sentiments d'insécurité et la peur qui s'installe dans nos sociétés, parallèlement à la mondialisation ? Les textes présentés invitent à éviter de stigmatiser, de criminaliser, de " ghettoïser ", de désigner des boucs émissaires, et lancent un appel à rechercher les voies qui permettront de déconstruire la peur (d'autrui) qui cloisonne et d'ouvrir nos sociétés à des initiatives menant à la mondialisation de la solidarité, dans la reconnaissance des droits de tous, au-delà de tout stéréotype.

This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’utilisation croissante de la vidéoprotection rend nécessaire la mise en place de fonctions d’analyse vidéo pour alléger voire automatiser des tâches aujourd’hui entièrement réalisées par des opérateurs. Après avoir dressé un panorama des avancées et des perspectives en analyse d’image, cet ouvrage détaille les principales fonctions d’analyse vidéo, comme la détection, le suivi et la reconnaissance d’objets d’intérêt (personnes ou véhicules) ou les fonctions de « haut-niveau » visant à interpréter les scènes observées (évènements, comportements, nature de la scène...). Les besoins sont illustrés sous l’angle de deux applications majeures, la sécurité des transports et l’investigation. Les contraintes d’ordres juridique et éthique sont présentées, ainsi que les caractéristiques des données vidéo traitées, au travers des caméras et des méthodes de compression utilisées. La problématique de l’évaluation de performance, tant au niveau opérationnel qu’au niveau des fonctions d’analyse, est également exposée.
