“…According to the present proposition, information that a given stakeholder receives and integrates in his/her thinking will further influence his/her understanding, awareness of the unknown and raise new demands for information. Therefore, at first, stakeholders might be uncomfortable in asserting their needs for information, which will be formed, defined, and expressed in a progressive way, through an interactive process with the design and implementation of the information system (54). Hence, this process will translate into an increase of the demand and social value of information.…”

The economic evaluation of health surveillance systems and of health information is a methodological challenge, as for information systems in general. Main present threads are considering cost-effectiveness solutions, minimizing costs for a given technically required output, or cost-benefit analysis, balancing costs with economic benefits of duly informed public interventions. The latter option, following a linear command-and-control perspective, implies considering a main causal link between information, decision, action, and health benefits. Yet, valuing information, taking into account its nature and multiple sources, the modalities of its processing cycle, from production to diffusion, decentralized use and gradual building of a shared information capital, constitutes a promising challenge. This work proposes an interdisciplinary insight on the value of health surveillance to get a renewed theoretical framework integrating information and informatics theory and information economics. The reflection is based on a typological approach of value, basically distinguishing between use and non-use values. Through this structured discussion, the main idea is to expand the boundaries of surveillance evaluation, to focus on changes and trends, on the dynamic and networked structure of information systems, on the contribution of diverse data, and on the added value of combining qualitative and quantitative information. Distancing itself from the command-and-control model, this reflection considers the behavioral fundaments of many health risks, as well as the decentralized, progressive and deliberative dimension of decision-making in risk management. The framework also draws on lessons learnt from recent applications within and outside of health sector, as in surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, inter-laboratory networks, the use of big data or web sources, the diffusion of technological products and large-scale financial risks. Finally, the paper poses the bases to think the challenge of a workable approach to economic evaluation of health surveillance through a better understanding of health information value. It aims to avoid over-simplifying the range of health information benefits across society while keeping evaluation within the boundaries of what may be ascribed to the assessed information system.

Tracing knowledge acquisition and linking learning events to interaction between peers is a major challenge of our times. We have conceived, designed and evaluated a new paradigm for constructing and using collective knowledge by Web interactions that we called ViewpointS. By exploiting the similarity with Edelman's Theory of Neuronal Group Selection (TNGS), we conjecture that it may be metaphorically considered a Collective Brain, especially effective in the case of trans-disciplinary representations. Far from being without doubts, in the paper we present the reasons (and the limits) of our proposal that aims to become a useful integrating tool for future quantitative explorations of individual as well as collective learning at different degrees of granularity. We are therefore challenging each of the current approaches: the logical one in the semantic Web, the statistical one in mining and deep learning, the social one in recommender systems based on authority and trust; not in each of their own preferred field of operation, rather in their integration weaknesses far from the holistic and dynamic behavior of the human brain.

Les projets d’habiter comme pratique signifiante d’une recomposition rurale et d’une interrogation sociétale

L’article aborde les projets d’habiter comme pratiques spatiales signifiantes, intervenant en milieu rural et montagnard. La question centrale abordée ici porte sur le croisement entre le projet territorial institutionnalisé Agenda 21 local avec sa démarche participative et la façon dont les acteurs-habitants impliqués dans la recherche et l’A21L mettent en œuvre la figure anthropologique du projet et ses déclinaisons institutionnelles et personnelles. Ils donnent à voir des imaginaires sociaux historiques et des modes de subjectivation, notamment politique, en lien avec l’environnement. Or, une telle figure anthropologique de notre modernité, déclinée en projets d’habiter personnels ou institutionnels manifeste des subjectivités politiques et des modes de régulation et de reproduction qui ne vont pas sans tensions, ni contradictions socio-écologiques, révélant par là-même une normativité environnementale qui se cherche.
