"To date, much of the application of IRT has been in the field of educational measurement, where for example, IRT has been used extensively by the Educational Testing Service for the development of scholastic aptitude tests. IRT has played a major role in all major college and graduate school admission tests (SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, ...). Unlike traditional tests based on classical test theory that summarizes the test result by a simple counting operation of number of correct responses, IRT provides model-based measurements in which the difficulty of the items, discrimination of high and low levels of the underlying latent variable(s) and the corresponding ability of the respondents can be estimated. In IRT scoring of tests, a certain number of items can be arbitrarily added, deleted, or replaced without losing comparability of scores on the scale. Only the precision of measurement at some points on the scale is affected. This property of scaled measurement, as opposed to counts of events, is the most salient advantage of IRT over classical methods of educational and psychological measurement. The evolution of IRT is now going beyond educational measurement. Recent advances in multidimensional extensions of IRT and computerized adaptive testing are leading to major advances in patient reported outcome measures of physical and emotional well being. In mental health research, IRT is now leading to a major paradigm shift in the screening and measurement of mental health disorders, substance abuse and suicidality, one of the leading causes of death in the world. Multidimensional IRT extends the tools used to evaluate essentially unidimensional constructs such as mathematical ability to the measurement of complex traits such as depression, anxiety and psychosis. In the next five years we expect that the use of multidimensional IRT for the measurement of complex traits will extend to other areas of health sciences and to problems in marketing research and practice where rapid adaptive tests administered through the internet will be able to precisiely measure consumer affinity for different products, events, and market sectors. The methods described in this book will provide the foundation for these future developments"--

A partir de leur propre expérience, les auteurs proposent des repères, des pistes d'atelier et des ressources pour apprendre à analyser des oeuvres chorégraphiques. Ils décrivent les fondements éthiques et philosophiques de leur approche avant de mettre en lumière les usages sociaux de l'analyse. ©Electre 2021 Il n'existe ni regard idéal ni méthode pour analyser les oeuvres en danse. Telle est la conviction portée par ce livre qui place l'inventivité du spectateur au coeur de l'analyse. Chacun est invité à sortir du jugement, du goût personnel ou du sentiment d'ineffable pour explorer différentes modalités de regard, entre le temps de la contemplation d'une oeuvre et la formulation d'une pensée construite à son sujet.Entrelaçant leurs points de vue, Isabelle Ginot et Philippe Guisgand proposent une réflexion sur les enjeux de l'analyse d'oeuvres et de l'éducation du regard. Leur démarche s'appuie sur des ateliers, des jeux perceptifs et linguistiques, des expérimentations ludiques, dans lesquels on pourra puiser. Il s'agit de penser la nature singulière autant que collective de notre relation aux oeuvres, tout comme les contextes où celle-ci peut s'exercer.Car écrire sur la danse, débattre des oeuvres et dialoguer avec elles sont des moyens d'innover au sein de nombreuses pratiques (enseignement, ateliers de spectateurs, médiations, critique d'art, performances, accompagnements à la création, etc.). Ainsi l'analyse d'oeuvres s'ancre dans un monde qui n'est pas seulement celui de la recherche mais celui de tous.

"Biomaterials have existed for millennia as mechanical replacement structures following disease or injury. Biomaterial design has changed markedly from structural support with an "inert" immune profile as the primary objective to designs that elicit an integrative local tissue response and a pro-repair immune cell phenotype. Immunomodulatory Biomaterials: Regulating the Immune Response with Biomaterials to Affect Clinical Outcome offers a single, comprehensive reference on biomaterials for modulation of the host response, for materials scientists, tissue engineers and those working in regenerative medicine. This book details methods, materials and strategies designed to regulate the host immune response following surgical implantation and thus facilitate specific local cell infiltration and tissue deposition. There has been a dramatic transformation in our understanding of the role of the immune system, both innate and adaptive; these changes include recognition of the plasticity of immune cells, especially macrophages, cross-talk between the immune system and stem cells, and the necessity for in situ transition between inflammatory and regulatory immune cell phenotypes. The exploitation of these findings and the design and manufacture of new biomaterials is occurring at an astounding pace. There is currently no book directed at the interdisciplinary principles guiding the design, manufacture, testing, and clinical translation of biomaterials that proactively regulate the host tissue immune response. The challenge for academia, industry, and regulatory agencies to encourage innovation while assuring safety and maximizing efficacy has never been greater. Given the highly interdisciplinary requirements for the design, manufacture and use of immunomodulatory biomaterials, this book will prove a useful single resource across disciplines."
