International audience ; La forêt méditerranéenne connaît de multiples usages, tant humains qu'écologiques. Ces derniers sont d'ailleurs de plus en plus reconnus et pris en compte dans les modes de gestion intégrée des territoires. La production énergétique est l'un de ces usages de la ressource bois. Il faut cependant garder à l'esprit que le bois-énergie est un moyen parmi d'autres pour remplir les objectifs fixés par l'Europe et le Grenelle de l'environnement. Cet usage doit s'insérer dans une politique énergétique globale du territoire, mais aussi dans une politique plus générale, plus large de développement durable de ce même territoire

Since 1976, 28 states have repealed or significantly amended their motorcycle helmet laws. The change in legislation was not based on an evaluation of the costs and benefits of such laws. This paper attempts such an assessment by comparing the cost of motorcycle helmets with the medical costs averted due to helmet use using data primarily based on motorcycle crashes in Colorado, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. Nationwide, at least $61 million could be saved annually if all motorcyclists were to use helmets. Helmet law repeals have been observed to lead to a 40 to 50 per cent point reduction in helmet use. The associated additional medical care costs substantially exceed cost savings produced by reduced helmet use. It is estimated that helmet law repeals may produce annually between $16 and 18 million of unnecessary medical care expenditures. Several alternatives to increase motorcycle helmet use are briefly discussed. It is concluded that helmet laws are effective in encouraging helmet use among motorcyclists and will prevent unnecessary medical expenditures as well as unnecessary pain and suffering among injured motorcyclists.

By pushing Descartes to more clearly explain the union of body and soul beyond the functioning of a 'strong' passion, namely sadness, Elisabeth wants Descartes to review his idea of the passions, and his understanding of the 'theory of the four humors'. This chapter aims at showing that Descartes turns away from Galen's theory of the humors, which he globally adopts in the 1633 Treatise of Man. With the shift in his conceptualization of the humors between this Treatise and the Treatise of the Passions (1649), Descartes analyzed more specifically the inner feelings, consciousness, and the passions, by considering that a man is not simply a body, but a psychophysical being, with a body and a soul.
