Paperback. Etat : New. The aging of the world's population has brought with it a set of challenges. Baby boomers in the Western world, who have lived through several cycles of change, are about to experience another transformation - the automation of in-home geriatric care. Equipping a home with interconnected gadgets and with robots that incorporate artificial intelligence seems increasingly possible. Such devices, connected to a wireless network and the Internet, can observe, communicate, and also assist caregivers, providing support to an elderly person as they age in their own home. These technologies have the potential to improve care for those suffering from various maladies, including dementia. Seniors may be more accepting of robots and gadgets if such devices enable them to remain in their home despite deficits related to aging. However, as bioethics has often demonstrated, it is important to critically analyze the implications of using these devices, as is proposed in this book.

Paperback. Etat : New. Women, people with disabilities and LGBTQ2+ people are more present on the sports scene, but important transformations are still needed in organizations so that these people are better represented and included in all sports disciplines. This book, which is the result of a research project conducted with sports organization managers, coaches, athletes, experts and other stakeholders in the field, proposes concrete solutions for sport organizations. Throughout the book we propose and explain good practices in the area of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Together with numerous testimonials and examples from the field, these practices adapted to the sport environment make it possible to overcome the barriers that prevent women and people from historically marginalized groups from participating in sport and from reaching leadership positions within these organizations. The practices presented in this book are based on an analytical framework for inclusion in organizations that can be applied beyond the Quebec and Canadian context.

Paperback. Etat : New. "This well-researched and clearly-written book documents the experiences of Black Francophones hailing from Sub-Saharan Africa and living in the predominantly anglophone province of Alberta. Drawing on the qualitative analysis of numerous documents and semi-structured interviews, the book explores how the participants construct multiple identities based on language, race, and citizenship while fighting racism and the multiple forms of exclusion they face. Blackness and la Francophonie is essential reading for scholars and informed readers interested in identity formation, anti-racism, and/or the politics on language in Canada."Daniel Béland, Professor and Director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, McGill University.

Paperback. Etat : New. This collection of urban studies research and interpretation crosses the country from Quebec to B.C., comparing trends and perspectives over the past decade and across and beyond disciplines. Core questions of research, policy and practice facing Montreal and Vancouver-those featuring housing and transportation, in particular-are featured in terms of new and innovative directions. Emerging questions-about urban indigeneity, food systems, climate action-are broached in challenging ways. The twenty authors whose original work is compiled here demonstrate the scope for continued, critical, comparative conversation across francophone and anglophone divides. The book offers a significant resource for understanding the intersecting field and practice of urban studies in Quebec and in B.C. and for spurring its further evolution. A French version of this book is also available.

Paperback. Etat : New. Cet ouvrage collectif s'inscrit dans le cadre des travaux de la Chaire justice sociale et intelligence artificielle Abeona-ENS-OBVIA. Il propose une réflexion multidisciplinaire sur les enjeux des usages de l'intelligence artificielle, mais surtout à partir d'une perspective de justice sociale. Le concept de justice sociale permet d'inclure des dimensions, principalement saisies par les sciences sociales et humaines, et qui ne sont pas traditionnellement associées aux technologies d'intelligence artificielle. Cela permet alors d'appréhender des dimensions telles que la justice et l'équité, mais aussi la solidarité ou encore la dignité ; ces dimensions constituent de puissants outils de changement social lorsqu'ils sont mobilisés par différents acteurs. Les contributions de cet ouvrage mettent en évidence des réflexions quant à la mise en place de conditions sociétales et de pistes d'action pour un déploiement des technologies d'intelligence artificielle en respect des sociétés humaines.This collective book is part of the work of the Abeona-ENS-OBVIA Chair in Social Justice and Artificial Intelligence. It proposes a multidisciplinary reflection on the challenges posed by the uses of artificial intelligence, above all from a social justice perspective.The concept of social justice allows to include dimensions that are not traditionally associated with artificial intelligence technologies, and which are primarily addressed by the social sciences and humanities. This makes it possible to comprehend dimensions such as justice and equity, but also solidarity and dignity; these dimensions constitute powerful tools for social change when mobilized by different actors.The contributions in this book highlight reflections on the definition of societal conditions and avenues of action for artificial intelligence technologies deployment in respect for human societies.

Paperback. Etat : New. Alors que culture et nature sont indissociables, les initiatives mises en place par les États pour préserver les ressources culturelles et naturelles ont donné naissance à des ensembles normatifs distincts. Il y a, d'un côté, le droit de la culture et, de l'autre, le droit de la nature. Pourtant, au sein de chacun de ces droits, on observe que les États mettent de plus en plus souvent en relation les ressources culturelles et naturelles. Partant de ce constat, cet ouvrage propose une analyse de ce phénomène, qui se manifeste tant en droit tant national qu'international, à travers le regard de juristes et de spécialistes d'autres disciplines. Penser le lien culture-nature conduit alors à réinterroger la façon dont l'outil juridique est mobilisé pour protéger les ressources culturelles et naturelles et à réfléchir à de nouvelles avenues pour mieux mettre en valeur et sauvegarder ces ressources.

Paperback. Etat : New. The diversity of disciplines and topics explored in this book, together with the range of authors from every corner of the globe, bear witness to and show the influence of the theological, academic, and ecclesiastical contributions of Professor Gilles Routhier, dean emeritus of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of Université Laval, and Superior General of the Seminary of Quebec.Gilles Routhier is among the contemporary proponents of a scholarly theology that seeks to reflect on a faith rooted in, and in dialogue with, the culture of its time, particularly intellectual culture. In this way, he unequivocally embodies the model of a scholar. His work, with its sensitivity to the universal character of the Church, and to the global dimension of intellectual and academic work, has been disseminated on every continent. The texts collected in this book cover all the major areas of Gilles Routhier's work, including the history, hermeneutics, and reactions to the Second Vatican Council, synodality, practical theology, missiology, and ecclesiology.Par la diversité des disciplines explorées et des sujets abordés ainsi que par l'étendue géographique de la provenance de ses auteurs, ce livre témoigne et rend compte de l'influence de la contribution théologique, universitaire et ecclésiale du professeur Gilles Routhier, doyen émérite de la Faculté de théologie et de sciences religieuses de l'Université Laval et supérieur du Séminaire de Québec.Gilles Routhier est l'un des représentants contemporains d'une théologie universitaire cherchant à réfléchir à une foi enracinée et en dialogue avec la culture de son temps, tout particulièrement la culture savante. En cela, il correspond indéniablement au modèle authentique du scholar. Très sensible au caractère universel de l'Église et à la dimension internationale du travail intellectuel et universitaire, il a vu ses travaux être diffusés sur tous les continents. Les textes réunis dans ce livre couvrent globalement les grands sujets travaillés par Gilles Routhier?: l'histoire du concile Vatican?II, son herméneutique et sa réception, la synodalité, la théologie pratique, la mission et l'ecclésiologie.
