If structure is quite present in librarianship and information science, style is less so. Style is used as a catalyst, helping knowledge and applications merge, the objective being the welfare and development of a human being in society. This essay brings to the fore the author's experience and several current events as they relate to that experience in an academic engineering library.

Efficacité et efficience : les obstacles épistémologiques à l'économisme en droit civil des contrats
More informationThe enthusiasm engendered by Law and Economics in the conception of the legal policies continues to silence its fatal flaws within the majority doctrine. However, the methodological and empirical inadequacies of a conception of the law in terms of efficiency cannot leave indifferent a well-informed observer of the legal phenomenon, not to mention the reduction of the efficiency of law to its sole economic utility sometimes to the detriment of the traditional ideals of law. This ideological program of economization of law affects the law of contracts where the legal technique is still looking for models capable of explaining the complexity and diversity of the contractual phenomenon. The legal doctrine keeps on recognizing that the notion of contract is an imperfect intellectual construct which evolves with time. In contrast, the economic technique has congealed the contract in one model: the exchange. This hypothesis includes, from the legal theory point of view, numerous presuppositions on the notion of contract, its essence and substance. These preconceptions of the contract by economic theory generate a paradigmatic conflict with the legal theory and above all an axiological conflict with the social function of contract law.

Problem solving is an essential part of teaching and learning mathematics, but it poses many challenges for students. We conducted two collaborative research projects involving various educators to co-construct interventions that promote the development of student control during problem solving in elementary mathematics. The analysis of the discussions during the meetings revealed three interventions by the teachers that were influenced by their work in French. This paper presents this reinvestment in mathematics of what is done in French, and discusses possible links between these two disciplines in order to develop students’ interdisciplinary control.

It has often been said that bioethics emerged at the confluence of the health sciences, theology, philosophy and law. However, if it is to continue evolving, bioethics must adopt a critical stance with regard to this heritage, particularly where law is concerned.

Over the past few decades, autonomy has become a core value in our societies, enshrining the will of patients as a premise for access to front-line care and services. Thus, in the case of patients refusing home care, the willingness to participate in an assessment often takes precedence over the needs identified by caregivers, however compelling they may be. For the gerontopsychiatric patient, this organizational position can lead to several pitfalls, and even risky or dangerous situations. Indeed, the refusal of care and services among seniors, frequently associated with self-neglecting behaviours, can lead to clinical deterioration, hospitalization or even death. It is therefore essential to examine the motivations behind the choices made by seniors and to adapt the approach of caregivers to these situations. Consent to care is a dialogical process that must include an explanation of the risks in the event of refusal. Access to care must not be automatically limited when there is the slightest opposition, without first engaging in further reflection. This article describes why concrete solutions must be actively sought to nuance the understanding and application of the values of autonomy and protection for seniors in the healthy provision of care and services, even more so for the vulnerable patient who is aging and suffering from psychic symptoms.
