Le médicament homéopathique dans l'histoire du médicament, Co construction, confrontation, coopération. Histoire, Transmission, Représentation
2007
The dynamics of this thesis resides in the search for the breach between the historical positioning (in relation to scientific fact itself) of homeopathic medication in the history of medical sciences, and the representation made of it in the past and present. By distinguishing what may be at stake, we are led to identify the positioning and impact of the mode of transmitting scientific fact as lacking a historical link to the history of medical sciences, notably medication. Our research hypothesis thus postulates that the transmission mode is at the source of discrepancies in representation. The links between context breakthroughs, such as the role of influences, are just parameters that, …
AI Ethics in Industry: A Research Framework
2019
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems exert a growing influence on our society. As they become more ubiquitous, their potential negative impacts also become evident through various real-world incidents. Following such early incidents, academic and public discussion on AI ethics has highlighted the need for implementing ethics in AI system development. However, little currently exists in the way of frameworks for understanding the practical implementation of AI ethics. In this paper, we discuss a research framework for implementing AI ethics in industrial settings. The framework presents a starting point for empirical studies into AI ethics but is still being developed further based on its pr…
Michelin : du culte du secret à la transparence?
2015
Transparency the ultimate virtue of society, the guarantee of truth (?), between right and duty, is often expressed in opposition to secret or even lie. Organizations are faced with and often trapped between these extremes. The Michelin Corporation that will serve as the basis for our analysis is often presented as the Corporation of secrecy. As a real myth in our collective consciousness, it illustrates the dual relationship between transparency and secrecy, which appeared to have been successful given its longevity and ranking among the largest French leading companies in terms of CSR. From the materiality of objects and spaces to intangible rhetoric, the Group comprehensive communication…
Gastronomie : entre transparence et opacité Un jeu d'ombre et de lumière
2015
This article aims at highlighting the signs of transparency and opacity in gastronomic communication. The esthesic, aesthetic and ethical dimension will be considered through discursive and visual elements put at stake in the presentation of dishes so that their flavours as well as the sensations and emotions they produce will fully come out. It will illustrate the interactions between the creative chef and the guest who will feel sensations, each of them asserting the construction of their identity. Gastronomic semiotics will be considered as socio-semiotics, which takes into account aesthetic values of today's society and also accounts for the complexity of senses.
Secret, silence, sacré. La trinité communicationnelle de l’Église catholique
2013
If the Catholic Church experiences difficulties in today’s world of ‘hyper-communication’ and 24/7 media pressure, esoteric religious language or generalised misuse of the media may not be the only factors to blame. This paper is based on the hypothesis that the reasons run more deeply into the communications ethos of the Catholic Church itself. More precisely, the paper contends that the Church’s communication in the social sphere cannot totally escape the principle of secrecy. This is not to say that there is one particular secret which the Church wishes to keep, rather that the whole Catholic tradition is marked by a culture and practice of secrecy, as shown through such examples as the …
Identification of Energy Hubs for the Exploitation of Residual Biomass in an Area of Western Sicily
2017
Recent years have witnessed a marked reduction in financial incentives for renewable energy production in Italy as a consequence of the fact that the nation has already reached its energy policy targets for 2020, However, incentives still persist in certain sectors, such as those of specialized crops for biomass and residual biomass. In order to increase use-efficiency of biomass resources, careful study is needed of their characteristics, and their distribution within an area and over time: biomass use is of interest when production is concentrated in a given area and sufficiently available throughout the year. In order to assess the competitiveness of the biomass energy sector, the logist…
A two-phase insertion technique of unexpected customers for a dynamic dial-a-ride problem
2006
Abstract This work deals with a dynamic dial-a-ride problem with time window constraints. In particular, new unplanned requests for service may arise at a vehicle stop and the driver must decide in real-time whether to accept or reject them. For this problem, we have developed a two-phase insertion algorithm based on route perturbations: the first phase, which is run off-line when the vehicle moves between two successive stops, aims at creating a feasible neighborhood of the current route; while the second phase, which is run in real-time every time a new request occurs, inserts, when possible, the delivery stop of the new customer in the current route.
Minimizing fleet operating costs for a container transportation company
2006
Abstract This paper focuses on a fleet management problem that arises in container trucking industry. From the container transportation company perspective, the present and future operating costs to minimize can be divided in three components: the routing costs, the resource (i.e., driver and truck) assignment costs and the container repositioning costs (i.e., the costs of restoring a given container fleet distribution over the serviced territory, as requested by the shippers that own the containers). This real-world problem has been modeled as an integer programming problem. The proposed solution approach is based on the decomposition of this problem in three simpler sub-problems associate…
Husserl's Transcendentalization of Mathematical Naturalism
2020
Abstract The paper aims to capture a form of naturalism that can be found “built-in” in phenomenology, namely the idea to take science or mathematics on its own, without postulating extraneous normative “molds” on it. The paper offers a detailed comparison of Penelope Maddy’s naturalism about mathematics and Husserl’s approach to mathematics in Formal and Transcendental Logic (1929). It argues that Maddy’s naturalized methodology is similar to the approach in the first part of the book. However, in the second part Husserl enters into a transcendental clarification of the evidences and presuppositions of the mathematicians’ work, thus “transcendentalizing” his otherwise naturalist approach t…
Travailler dans l'artisanat : questions de sens
2009
Comment peut-on parler du sens du travail dans l'artisanat ? Dans l'entreprise artisanale, au quotidien, comment partager avec les jeunes le sens du travail ? Cet article partage les résultats d'une démarche de recherche-action, menée à l'Université de Bourgogne de 2005 à 2008, dans le cadre du Club des Dirigeants, au sein du Réseau Artisanat-Université.
