Vaccination, OGM, épidémies, contraception, changements climatiques: voilà des sujets portant à controverse où la science semble autant juge que partie. Mais que sait-on vraiment du fonctionnement de la science et de la technologie ? Louées ou honnies, elles font intimement partie de notre vie, sans que nous ne comprenions toujours comment, ou pourquoi.Ce dictionnaire unique en son genre cartographie nos liens complexes avec la science et la technologie envisagées comme phénomènes humains. Il détaille le vocabulaire et les questions de la « STS » (Sciences, technologies et sociétés), champ des sciences humaines voué à la compréhension critique des savoirs et de leurs usages. Chaque entrée présente l'état des recherches sur un aspect précis des sciences et des technologies et rend compte des acquis théoriques, des méthodes d'enquête et des débats en cours.Fruit du réseau d'expertise du Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur la science et la technologie (CIRST), ce livre mobilise plusieurs disciplines - sociologie, philosophie, management, communication, science politique, histoire, économie et scientométrie -, tout en mettant à l'avant des concepts communs. Le grand public, les étudiants, les décideurs et les chercheurs y trouveront un outil de référence nécessaire pour réfléchir autrement à ces questions qui nourrissent nos inquiétudes et nos plus grands espoirs.

With a turnover of some 5-15 billion € / year, the additive manufacturing has industrial niches bearers thanks to processes and materials more and more optimized. While some niches still exist on the application of additive techniques in traditional fields (from jewelery to food for example), several trends emerge, using new concepts: collective production, realization of objects at once (without addition Of material), micro-fluidic, 4D printing exploiting programmable materials and materials, bio-printing, etc. There are both opportunities for new markets, promises not envisaged less than 10 years ago, but difficulties in reaching them.

Using the experience of patients, users, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders to innovate and rethink healthcare organizations and systems is gaining ground. Deploying these innovative methods and practices, however, requires an understanding and mastery of theoretical principles, as well as experimenting with them in the field. Experience in Healthcare Innovation alternates between theoretical presentations and case studies/examples in order to present the key notions of innovation in healthcare and the experiences of the people at the heart of healthcare ecosystems. It brings together diverse and complementary perspectives, shedding new light on the issue of healthcare experience through the prism of innovation. It includes a wealth of resources, ideas and results for all of those in healthcare wishing to implement innovative approaches that place the human experience at the heart of healthcare ecosystems.

This book examines the current use of digital media in religious engagement and how new media can influence and alter faith and spirituality. As technologies are introduced and improved, they continue to raise pressing questions about the impact, both positive and negative, that they have on the lives of those that use them. The book also deals with some of the more futuristic and speculative topics related to transhumanism and digitalization. Including an international group of contributors from a variety of disciplines, chapters address the intersection of religion and digital media from multiple perspectives. Divided into two sections, the chapters included in the first section of the book present case studies from five major religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism and their engagement with digitalization. The second section of the volume explores the moral, ideological but also ontological implications of our increasingly digital lives. This book provides a uniquely comprehensive overview of the development of religion and spirituality in the digital age. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Digital Religion, Religion and Media, Religion and Sociology, as well as Religious Studies and New Media more generally, but also for every student interested in the future of religion and spirituality in a completely digitalized world.
