Abstract

"What's the most effective path to success in any domain? It's not what you think. Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world's top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. David Epstein examined the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields--especially those that are complex and unpredictable--generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They're also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can't see. Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, [this book] makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive."--Dust jacket.

Abstract

This edited collection aims to reimagine and extend ethnography for a data-saturated world. The book brings together leading scholars in the social sciences who have been interrogating and collaborating with data scientists working in a range of different settings. The book explores how a repurposed form of ethnography might illuminate the kinds of knowledge that are being produced by data science. It also describes how collaborations between ethnographers and data scientists might lead to new forms of social analysis

Abstract

Suite aux différents évènements terroristes survenus en Belgique et en Europe, le terrorisme et le radicalisme restent toujours au coeur des débats. En effet, les attentats de Paris et de Bruxelles n’ont pas été sans incidences. Une multitude de mesures et de lois, tant sécuritaires que préventives, ont alors été adoptées. La Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles a dès lors décidé de mettre l’accent sur la formation dans la lutte contre le radicalisme.&#13;Ainsi, afin de sensibiliser, informer ou former un large public sur la problématique qu’est le radicalisme, un certain nombre d’intervenants ont été recrutés. L’expertise et la notion d’expert sont complexes et renvoient à diverses analyses. Ce travail a pour objectif d’identifier les critères de sélection sur lesquels se base le choix de ces acteurs de formations dans la lutte contre le radicalisme violent au sein de la Province de Liège et de connaître la satisfaction des personnes interrogées par rapport au choix qu’elles ont effectué. Pour ce faire, 12 personnes ont été interrogées via un questionnaire en ligne.&#13;Il ressort de cette recherche que plusieurs critères de sélection sont pris en compte afin d’établir le choix du formateur. Même s’ils ne sont pas tous pris en compte de la même manière, la médiatisation de la personne passant par sa connaissance scientifique, le parcours professionnel, les expériences personnelles et le financement des formateurs restent des critères primordiaux.

Abstract

Psychiatry has always aimed to peer deep into the human mind, daring to cast light on its darkest corners and untangle its thorniest knots, often invoking the latest medical science in doing so. But, as Owen Whooley's sweeping new book tell us, the history of American psychiatry is really a record of ignorance. On the Heels of Ignorance begins with psychiatry's formal inception in the 1840s and moves through two centuries of constant struggle simply to define and redefine mental illness, to say nothing of the best way to treat it. Whooley's book is no antipsychiatric screed, however; instead, he reveals a field that has muddled through periodic reinventions and conflicting agendas of curiosity, compassion, and professional striving. On the Heels of Ignorance draws from intellectual history and the sociology of professions to portray an ongoing human effort to make sense of complex mental phenomena using an imperfect set of tools, with sometimes tragic results.

Abstract

De longue date, les reproches essentiels formulés à propos de la procédure d'expertise judiciaire, actuellement organisée par les articles 962 à 991 du Code judiciaire, se sont focalisés autour de deux grands thèmes : - le coût excessif de ce genre de procédure ; - la durée anormalement longue de son déroulement. Le Code judiciaire a voulu remédier à ces griefs, tout en admettant la nécessité de recourir à ce mode de preuve lorsque l'enjeu du litige dépasse d'un point de vue technique les compétences de nos Cours et Tribunaux. Les trente articles du Code judiciaire relatifs à l'expertise sont cependant source de nombreuses dérives, susceptibles de se produire à tous les stades de la procédure. Il a dès lors paru indispensable de les dénoncer, mais également d'envisager les palliatifs et/ou remèdes dont les acteurs (magistrats, avocats, experts,...) disposent. La qualité et l'expérience en la matière des intervenants aux journées d'étude organisées témoignent à suffisance de l'intérêt qu'ils ont suscité.
