Trust, distrust and co-production : the relationship between research, biobanks and donors

This chapter addresses one so-called ethical aspect of biobanking, namely the relationship between biobanks for research and donors of human biological samples and personal health information. Central to bioethical theory and practice is the institution of informed consent and its potential to create trust. We present results from an observational study of the consent process during the recruitment to a local population DNA bank in Southern France as well as subsequent interviews with donors. Three types of donors were identified: (1) Persons holding a “natural trust” and who were quite uninterested in the information and consent procedure; (2) persons who expressed distrust, but nevertheless participated as donors; and (3) persons who appreciated the consent procedure as a sign of a well-organised institution. While informed consent may appear partly irrelevant to the issue of trust for a large group of donors, we proceed to discuss the status and desirability of a strong focus on donors' trust in biobank experts. Indeed, more symmetry and distrust may be a creative potential in the co-production of science and society in the biobank era

Ousse-Suzan – Construction salle multi-activités

Le projet de construction d’une cantine scolaire dans le petit bourg d’Ousse-Suzan est à l’origine de la prescription d’un diagnostic archéologique réalisé au mois de juillet 2017. Le bâtiment projeté de situe à proximité immédiate de l’église Saint-Blaise dont les éléments les plus anciens datent probablement de la fin du xiie s. De nombreuses découvertes sur le territoire de la commune et concernant une occupation diachronique allant de la pré ou Protohistoire à l’Antiquité et au Moyen Âge ..

Serres-et-Montguyard – Versailles

Le projet de construction d’une maison individuelle au lieu-dit « Versailles » a motivé le service régional de l’archéologie à prescrire un diagnostic. Le secteur, situé en rive gauche du Dropt sur un replat fluviatile a fait l’objet d’un diagnostic (Wozny, L. 2007) sur une large surface sur des parcelles contigües. Celui-ci avait permis de mettre en évidence une permanence de l’occupation humaine allant du Néolithique jusqu’au Moyen Âge. Les vestiges les plus significatifs concernaient toute..

Patients receiving ambulatory care: a problematic autonomy situation

International audienceThis article addresses the issue of the autonomy of patients who are not treated in standard situations of hospitalisation in institutions, but who receive ambulatory care. Academic and institutional discourses both suggest that the development of out-of-hospital care delivery models promotes patient autonomy. Through a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews of cancer patients treated using ambulatory chemotherapy in a French hospital we show that some of the constraints usually encountered by patients receiving care in institutions are also observed in patients receiving ambulatory care. They experience a form of cognitive isolation regarding access to information about their health, and their social life appears to be institutionalised

Cadillac-en-Fronsadais – Rue du 11-Novembre-1918

Un projet de lotissement sur la commune de Cadillac-en-Fronsadais a conduit le service régional de l’archéologie à prescrire un diagnostic. Quelques indices témoignent dans le secteur d’une installation antique, en particulier au château de Branda, situé à quelques centaines de mètres au sud-ouest. Le terrain exploré se situe au sud du village, entre le bourg et l’église, édifice reconstruit à la fin du xixe s. sur l’emplacement probable d’une église du xiie. Neuf tranchées ont été conduites ..

Saint-Germain-et-Mons – Pièce de Queyrou

Le projet de construction d’une maison individuelle a motivé le service régional de l’archéologie à prescrire un diagnostic afin de vérifier la présence de vestiges d’une occupation humaine. Le secteur, situé en rive gauche de la Dordogne, à quelques centaines de mètres en aval du port de Mouleydier fait l’objet depuis 1993 d’une surveillance après la découverte de traces d’une occupation antique. Plusieurs diagnostics ont permis de noter des traces plus ou moins nettes du Néolithique jusqu’à..

Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems - Report on the Workshop ICOOOLPS'2006 at ECOOP'06

ICOOOLPS'2006 was the first edition of ECOOP-ICOOOLPS workshop. It intended to bring researchers and practitioners both from academia and industry together, with a spirit of openness, to try and identify and begin to address the numerous and very varied issues of optimization. This succeeded, as can be seen from the papers, the attendance and the liveliness of the discussions that took place during and after the workshop, not to mention a few new cooperations or postdoctoral contracts. The 22 talented people from different groups who participated were unanimous to appreciate this first edition and recommend that ICOOOLPS be continued next year. A community is thus beginning to form, and should be reinforced by a second edition next year, with all the improvements this first edition made emerge.Comment: The original publication is available at http://www.springerlink.co
