The COVID-19 disease pandemic, representing a worldwide problem, has moved the world population into a position it has not experienced since World War II. However, there is one difference: the problem has stricken not only Europe but the whole American continent, Asia and Africa. Solution to the problem can be divided into two levels, namely medical and social. At the social level, the only solution is crisis management, or simply prevention and crisis activities carried out by representatives of the governments, and the willingness of citizens to follow specific regulations. However, a combination of the estimate of risk and efficient regulations in compliance with medical care must pursue the sole aim, namely to stabilise and stop the spread of the coronavirus. One part of crisis management is represented by the proper documentation of particular procedures and the drawing of conclusions for the future. This paper is the result of conducting an institutional project at the University of Security Management in Košice, and characterizes the position of the crisis management and rescue units in solving the pandemic in the Slovak Republic. In addition, the paper compares starting points of crisis management and measures taken by selected countries, and identifies the problem of the crisis management both at state and individual levels in Slovakia.

In France, secularism is celebrated in the public sphere. The paper makes general arguments about France's changing identity and specific arguments about the burqa and niqab ban. It explains how French history shaped the ideology of secularism and of public civil religion, and how colonial legacy, immigration, fear of terrorism and security needs have led France to adopt the trinity of indivisibilité, sécurité, laïcité while paying homage to the traditional trinity of liberté, égalité, fraternité. While the motto of the French Revolution is still symbolically and politically important, its practical significance as it has been translated to policy implementation has been eroded. The emergence of the new trinity at the expense of the old one is evident when analyzing the debates concerning cultural policies in France in the face of the Islamic garb, the burqa and the niqab, which are perceived as a challenge to France's national secular raison d'être. The French Republic has attempted to keep public space secular. Is the burqa and niqab ban socially just? Does it reasonably balance the preservation of societal values and freedom of conscience? It is argued that the burqa and niqab ban is neither just nor reasonable in the eyes of the women and girls who wish to wear the Muslim garb, their families and community, and that paternalism that holds that the ban is for the women's own good is a poor, coercive excuse. Claims for paternalistic coercion to protect adult women from their own culture when they do not ask for protection are not sufficiently reasonable to receive vindication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite critiques of denials broadly underlying Critical International Relations deconstructions of state, security and subjectivity, there is little explicit exploration of the ontological status of denial, and how denials operate in the politics of (in)security. Animated by the question, why and how web of actors and interests traversing the public and private spheres involved in the provision of security endure despite long-running critique, this article problematises = denials. An explicit theorisation of denial needs to be put centre stage in the study of security. Drawing on Dillon's theorisation of the unstable duality of (in)security and synthesising it with a Deleuze and Guattarian assemblage approach, it theorises denial in two forms – denial of complicity and denial of the impossibility of security – as ontologically necessary for the politics of (in)security; then proposes that we scrutinise and expose assemblages of (in)security. These assemblages form, endure and expand, by thriving on denials of the impossibility of security and its attendant complicities; forming symbioses of denial traversing the public-private realms. Assemblages of (in)security adapt, expand, and propagate new technologies of (in)security, often ironically by responding to demands from critique. Without an assemblage-based thinking, we are methodologically ill-equipped to trace, expose and critique the politics of (in)security, without unwittingly partaking in denials sustaining it.

Safety is a key component of trauma therapy, which requires the therapist to be acutely aware of states of unsafety that can get evoked in a client during a session. This article explores the theme of 'When the past becomes the present' that arose from a qualitative study on the client's experience of safety in psychotherapy. An interpretative phenomenological analysis of ten Irish psychotherapy trainees' experience of safety as a client showed that it was impacted by their trauma history. Consistent with knowledge about the nature of traumatic memory and the neuroceptive evaluation of safety, this theme suggests that previous traumatic experiences can resurface during a session in the form of memory fragments, physical sensations, and nervous system activation to produce feelings of unsafety. Consequently, psychotherapists need to be able to recognize these moment-to-moment shifts in their clients' experience of safety and know how to respond to these. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé: D'après l'OMS, en fin d'année 2021 plus de 6 milliards de doses de vaccins ont été administrées dans le monde avec de fortes inégalités entre les pays riches et les pays pauvres qui vaccinent beaucoup moins. Sans rentrer dans un débat stérile « pour » ou « contre » les vaccins contre la Covid on peut donc en tirer non pas des certitudes (le risque zéro n'existe pas en termes de vaccins ou de traitements) mais des informations de haut niveau de preuves sur l'évaluation du rapport bénéfice : risque de ces vaccins. Quelles sont les connaissances actuelles sur ces vaccins qui font consensus dans les équipes de chercheurs du monde entier ? Quelles sont les incertitudes et questions que l'on se pose sur la sécurité de ces vaccins ? According to the WHO, at the end of 2021 more than 6 billion doses of vaccines had been administered worldwide with strong inequalities between rich countries and poor countries which vaccinate much less. Without entering into a sterile debate "for" or "against" the vaccines against the Covid one can thus draw from it not certainties (the zero risk does not exist in terms of vaccines or treatments) but of high level information of evidence on the evaluation of the benefit/risk ratio of these vaccines. What is the current knowledge on these vaccines that are consensus among research teams around the world? What are the uncertainties and questions about the safety of these vaccines?

• Flammability classifications of refrigerants using ANN and Random Forest models. • Predictors are compositions of refrigerant molecules and their molecular characteristics. • Both models predict the flammability classifications of 179 refrigerants • The level of certainty is considered to be acceptable for a preliminary assessment. The flammability classification of refrigerants, as per existing standards, is bounded by multiple boundaries and involves many error bands and uncertainties. Further, experimental determination involves significant efforts and costs. Therefore, as a preamble to any refrigerant development efforts, it is desirable to have an assessment method, to predict a priori, the flammability class. In this work, the flammability classifications are predicted by both Artificial Neural Network and Random Forest models using the composition of the refrigerant molecules as predictors, including number of C, H, F, Cl, Br, I, O and N atoms and number of double bonds. Additionally, HR, a ratio between the total atomic mass of H atoms to the molecule's molar mass, is also used to account for the fact that a molecule's flammability increases with increase in number of H atom in the molecule. Both ANN and RF models predict the flammability classifications of totally 179 refrigerants (47 single components and 132 blends) accurately except for three and one refrigerant blend respectively. The level of certainty by the proposed models is considered to be acceptable for a preliminary assessment. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• First major study which gathered hole data from over 1000 leaks. • Taken from a variety of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems. • 95% of all leaks and >99% of uninterfered leaks were smaller than 0.5 mm2. • 0.5 mm2 corresponds to a mass flow of 70 g min−1 of R290 at standardised conditions. Knowledge of sizes of leak holes arising in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems is critical for safe application of flammable refrigerants, especially hydrocarbons such as R290. Data for leak hole sizes is currently lacking so safety standards have used a range of assumed leak rates that maybe unreasonable and lead to severe restrictions on charge limits and/or high costs for addressing potential ignition sources. Over 1000 leak holes have been measured from various systems. The leak hole areas were found to be clustered around very small values with more than 90% below 0.10 mm2 and 98.8% smaller than 1.0 mm2, irrespective of type, age and size of the system. The largest leak hole size that should be considered for safe design of systems is around 0.5 mm2, or about 70 g min−1 of R290 vapour or adjusted according to the system operating conditions or type of refrigerant.

En moins d'un demi-siècle, l'allongement de la durée de vie et les changements de paradigmes sociaux et familiaux ont profondément modifié les conditions du vieillissement.La proportion de la population au-delà de la vie active est de plus en plus importante avec des facteurs de vulnérabilité : difficultés de santé physique, santé mentale, isolement, sentiment de décrochement ou de déclassement. Dans cette perspective les nouvelles technologies sont un formidable outil pour accompagner les aînés et faire en sorte de réduire leurs vulnérabilités. Surveillance à distance, téléconsultations, dispositif d'alerte connectés, domotique sont des outils efficaces pour rompre l'isolement des aînés et apporter des solutions concrètes aux difficultés quotidiennes. Cela nécessite que l'ensemble du territoire national bénéficie d'une couverture numérique optimale. Dans le cas contraire cela contribuerait à créer une disparité de traitement susceptible de mettre une partie de la population des aînés en difficulté.C'est un devoir collectif de protéger les aînés en situation de vulnérabilité en rendant possible cet accompagnement qui comprend leur protection physique avec les services de sécurité.Ils sont devenus une cible privilégiée de certains délinquants et cette dimension doit être également prise en compte. C'est le rôle des collectivités territoriales et de l'Etat de faire en sorte que l'accès aux nouvelles technologies appliquées à la vie quotidienne soit garanti à tous les citoyens et tout particulièrement les aînés sans que la question financière soit un obstacle.

Religious freedom (RF) is important because it is posited to be a central element of liberal democracy and as having multiple additional benefits including increased security and economic prosperity. Yet, it is also a disputed concept and many liberal democracies restrict the freedoms of religious minorities. This study uses the Religion and State (RAS) dataset to examine the extent of RF in 183 countries based on six definitions of RF. The author examines whether religious minorities are restricted in a manner that the majority is not, regulation of the majority religion, and imposition of precepts of the majority religion on a country's population. He finds that very few countries, including liberal democracies, meet any standard for RF, even when one allows for 'loose' standards where some violations of RF are allowed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé: Dans la prévention des accidents vasculaires cérébraux conséquences de la fibrillation auriculaire non valvulaire (FANV) et le traitement et la prévention des événements thromboemboliques veineux (ETEV), l'introduction sur le marché des anticoagulants de la nouvelle classe des anticoagulants oraux directs a fait l'objet de polémiques multiples sur leur sécurité et leur efficacité. Les grands essais cliniques randomisés, rassurants sur ces objectifs, apportaient des données sur des populations sélectionnées et étaient sponsorisés par les laboratoires concernés par leur commercialisation. Après une dizaine d'années d'usage large, y compris chez des populations âgées polypathologiques et polymédicamentées, les données sur leur efficacité et leur sécurité se sont étoffées, en particulier par des études observationnelles, en population réelle, initiées par les différents systèmes d'assurance santé. In the prevention of stroke consequences of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (FANV) and the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE), the introduction to the market of anticoagulants of the new class of direct oral anticoagulants has led to the subject of multiple controversies over their safety and effectiveness. The large randomized clinical trials, reassuring on these objectives, provided data on selected populations and were sponsored by the laboratories concerned by their marketing. After ten years of widespread use, including in elderly populations with multiple pathologies and polymedicated drugs, the data on their effectiveness and their safety have grown, in particular through observational studies, in real populations.

• Examined release and dispersion of R290 into a closed room, accounting for unit characteristics under quiescent conditions. • Shown relationship between room floor concentration and that of the mixture exiting an enclosure from wherein a release has emanated. • Proposed a new allowable charge calculation based on flammability limits, enclosure characteristics and release conditions. • Considered various types of enclosures, applicable to air conditioners, refrigeration appliances and heat pumps. Concentration measurements and analysis have been used to develop new methodology for estimating the allowable charge limit (ACL) of flammable refrigerants, particularly R290. Attention has been given to the impacts of construction and dimensional characteristics of the RACHP enclosures, in particular the size and position of the openings, on the concentrations exiting the enclosure. Analysis of the data has shown that these are critical aspects that influence floor concentration and/or safe allowable refrigerant charge limits. Formulae have been proposed to estimate layer-volume heights and ultimately ACL. The results illustrate that current standard's ACLs are overly restrictive, especially for certain types of RACHP equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L'immunothérapie orale (ITO) a été l'approche thérapeutique la mieux étudiée pour le traitement de l'allergie alimentaire au cours de la dernière décennie, avec des essais cliniques examinant son efficacité, son innocuité et sa capacité à améliorer la qualité de vie des participants. Les dernières recherches suggèrent que l'ITO alimentaire pourrait être une option prometteuse. La plupart des participants aux études de recherche acquièrent la désensibilisation. Cependant, l'ITO n'est pas sans risque ni effets secondaires, y compris de réactions allergiques potentiellement graves. Selon les études actuelles, l'ITO réalisée avec des protocoles ayant une faible dose d'entretien, progression lente, début précoce même à l'âge préscolaire et adaptée au phénotype de sévérité, a montré une faisabilité, une efficacité et une sécurité significatives, offrant une option prometteuse pour la prise en charge des patients souffrant d'allergies alimentaires sévères. L'éducation et la prise de décision partagée éclairée entre les patients et l'équipe médicale sont essentielles. Les recherches futures devront évaluer l'efficacité à court et à long terme de cette thérapie dans le monde réel, les prédicteurs d'efficacité et l'utilisation de thérapies d'appoint qui pourraient atténuer les évènements indésirables. Oral immunotherapy (OIT) has been the best-studied therapeutic approach for the treatment of food allergy over the past decade, with clinical trials examining its efficacy, safety and ability to improve participants' quality of life. The latest research suggests that food OIT may be a promising option. Most participants in research studies acquire desensitisation. However, OIT is not without risks and side effects, including potentially serious allergic reactions. According to current studies the OIT protocol having a low maintenance dose, slow progression, early onset even at preschool age and tailored to the severity phenotype has shown significant feasibility, efficacy and safety, offering a promising option for the management of patients with severe food allergies. Education and informed shared decision making between patients and the medical team are essential. Future research should evaluate the short- and long-term effectiveness of this therapy in the real world, predictors of efficacy, and the use of adjunctive therapies that can mitigate adverse events.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cyberknife® (CK) for the treatment of primary or recurring thymic tumours. We retrospectively reviewed 12 patients (16 tumour lesions) with primary or recurring thymic tumours who were treated with CK between March 2008 and October 2017. Their data was stored in prospectively collected database. Kaplan–Meier method was used to calculate survival curves. Five patients (41.7%), who had inoperable disease or refused surgery, were treated with CK initially, and 7 patients (58.3%) were treated with CK when they had recurrence diseases. The disease sites treated with CK were primary tumour site (5), regional lymph nodes (4), tumour bed (3), chest wall (2), pleura (1), and bone (1). The median target volume was 43.8 cm3 (range, 13.1–302.5 cm3) for the 16 tumour lesions. The median follow-up time was 69.3 months (range, 9.7–124.8 months). The median survival time was 48.2 months, and the 5-year and 10-year OS rates were 68.2% and 45.5%, respectively. A high response rate for the tumour lesions irradiated with CK was obtained. Only one patient (8%) experienced in-field recurrence, and the 5-year local recurrence free survival was 90.9%. A case indicated that CK may induce the abscopal effect, which provides the potential to combine CK and immunotherapy. No severe radiation related toxicities were observed, and no treatment related death occurred. CK treatment resulted in good outcomes, particularly local control, with minimal side effects, in highly selected patients with primary and recurring thymic tumours. More studies with larger sample are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Les allergies respiratoires aux pollens de graminées sont très répandues dans la population générale et le traitement est généralement symptomatique qui reste parfois insuffisant. L'immunothérapie allergénique (ITA) aux 5-graminées est le seul traitement étiologique des rhinites allergiques saisonnières. Étudier l'efficacité des comprimés d'ITA sublinguale aux 5-graminées sur la maladie allergique et décrire les effets indésirables après une année de traitement. Étude prospective, descriptive et évaluative incluant 40 patients ayant une rhinite allergique aux 5-graminées ayant bénéficié d'un traitement par ITA sublinguale et ayant été suivis pendant une année avec évaluation de l'efficacité et de la tolérance pendant la deuxième saison pollinique. L'âge moyen était de 30,9 ± 12,25 ans avec un sex-ratio (H/F) à 0,48. Une conjonctivite allergique était associée dans 70 % et un asthme allergique dans 48 %. Les effets indésirables de l'ITA étaient locaux et locorégionaux, d'intensité faible et de résolution rapide. Une amélioration de la maladie allergique a été notée avec diminution des symptômes et de la charge thérapeutique. Une amélioration de la qualité de vie diurne et nocturne a été rapportée par les patients dans 78 % des cas. L'ITA était significativement plus efficace chez les patients âgés de moins de 30 ans ayant une rhinite allergique et une conjonctivite allergique. L'ITA aux 5-graminées permet, en toute sécurité, la diminution des symptômes allergiques et l'amélioration de la charge thérapeutique et de la qualité de vie des patients. Respiratory allergies to grass pollens are very widespread in the general population and the treatment is generally symptomatic which sometimes remains insufficient. Grass pollen allergen immunotherapy is currently the only etiological treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis apart from allergenic eviction. The aim was to study the effectiveness of sublingual ITA tablets with 5-grasses on allergic disease and describe the adverse effects after one year of treatment. We conducted a prospective, descriptive and evaluative study including 40 patients suffering from grass pollen allergic rhinitis. A grass pollen sublingual allergen immunotherapy was received and patients were followed during a one-year treatment to study the efficacy and the safety profile. The mean age was 30.9 ± 12.25 years. The sex ratio (M/F) was 0.48. Allergic conjunctivitis was associated in 70% and allergic asthma was associated in 48% of cases. Allergen immunotherapy side effects were mild, consisting of local side effects. No severe side effects were observed. A decrease in allergic rhinitis symptoms was observed in 83% with improvement in medication score in 65%. All patients noted a decrease in conjunctivitis symptoms with a total regression in 54% of cases. A better asthma control was noted in 33%. Among the 19 patients suffering from asthma, we could decrease the drug use in 63% of cases during the first year of treatment. An improvement of the quality of life was observed in 78% of cases. Allergen immunotherapy was significantly more efficient in allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis with patients under 30 years old. Grass pollen allergen immunotherapy leads safely to the regression of allergy symptoms and improves the therapeutic load and the quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La première Présidence roumaine du Conseil de l’Union européenne est une occasion importante pour le gouvernement de Bucarest de promouvoir des thèmes régionaux dans le mécanisme décisionnel communautaire. Cependant, le contexte dans lequel la Présidence commencera est affecté par le climat intérieur du pays, notamment lié aux réformes du système de la justice, critiquées virulemment par les chancelleries occidentales. Cet article analyse le contexte de la Présidence roumaine, aussi bien que les préparations accomplies pour les six mois et les priorités majeures promues, tout en soulignant la manière dont le spécifique national a été reflété par l’agenda choisi et sa faisabilité.

From the 1980s to the end of 2000s, the Turkish military was actively involved in the construction of Islam as a threat to national security, and in doing so it securitized religious identities in the political arena and in its own ranks. In the process, Turkish military bases became infused with public tensions around religion and secularity and became sites that produced social divisions along these lines on a daily basis. This article explores the uniquely emotional and corporeal the intertwinement of secularism and security as was experienced within the mundane social interactions in the daily life of military bases through ethnographic research conducted in 2011. It focuses on the narratives of the daughters and wives of military officers whose bodies were mapped on to the opposite ends of a security paradigm based on a secular/religious dichotomy. Caught in between designations of security and risk, women's bodily and emotional experiences reveal the spatial constructions of secularism and the inherently vague and ambiguous distinctions secularism cultivates as a function of modern power. Looking at the gendered and spatially mediated meanings of secular, religious, security and risk, this article contributes to scholarship in cultural and social geographies of secularism through an analysis of corporeal and emotional experiences.

Le terrorisme, au sens où le terme acquiert aujourd'hui, est né avec les institutions médiatiques modernes. En l'absence de couverture médiatique, tout acte terroriste perd son intérêt et devient nul. Plus la couverture médiatique d'un acte terroriste est grande, plus son degré d'impact, matérialisé par la panique, la peur, l'anxiété, la terreur, au niveau de l'opinion publique internationale, tend au maximum. Les armes biologiques produisent les effets ciblés, de manière efficace et efficiente, en raison du degré élevé de contagion d'agents pathogènes qui produisent des maladies. La possibilité d'utiliser des agents biologiques en tant qu'«arme» est interdite par la Convention de Genève sur l'utilisation des armes biologiques et toxiques. Le bioterrorisme est défini comme la libération délibérée de virus, de bactéries ou d'autres agents utilisés pour provoquer des maladies, ou la mort, chez les humains, les animaux ou les plantes. Le succès du terrorisme biologique est dû à l'intensité de la perturbation de la société et à la panique générée et pas nécessairement au grand nombre de victimes. Ainsi, la maladie de quelques individus seulement peut suffire à provoquer la panique et la peur au sein de la population, à condition qu'elle bénéficie d'un impact médiatique majeur. La perspective de l'accès des acteurs non étatiques, y compris des groupes terroristes et de leurs partisans, aux armes de destruction en masse et aux matières chimiques, biologiques, radiologiques ou nucléaires constitue une menace sérieuse pour la paix et la sécurité internationales. Récemment, des groupes terroristes ont testé de nouvelles façons d'acquérir et d'utiliser des armes de plus en plus dangereuses, y compris des armes contenant des matières chimiques, biologiques, radiologiques ou nucléaires, afin de maximiser les dommages et, par conséquent, d'atteindre leurs objectifs en provoquant un grand état de panique, de peur et de terreur.

La coercition est un sujet épineux en santé mentale. Peu de philosophes s’y sont intéressés. En principe, dans un contexte où l’on valorise l’autonomie et la liberté, la coercition ne devrait pas exister. Pourtant, la coercition est bien présente et probablement pour les meilleures raisons. La coercition soulève plusieurs questions éthiques. Souvent le problème se pose relativement au bien et au mal à l’intérieur d’une logique binaire et du tiers exclu. De notre côté, il s’agit de montrer qu’il est avantageux de nous sortir du conflit en posant le problème autrement. Nous nous demanderons jusqu’où nous devons insister dans nos interventions et comment faire évoluer une situation. Nous verrons que ces deux questions se répondent l’une et l’autre. C’est en interrogeant nos présupposés concernant la santé, l’autonomie, la sécurité et la coercition que nous réussirons à modifier notre compréhension de la situation et, par le fait même, à tracer une limite qui prendrait en compte plusieurs perspectives. Au lieu de nous questionner sur la manière de respecter l’autonomie, la santé, la sécurité, il convient plutôt de nous demander comment accompagner le patient dans des situations difficiles. En guise de conclusion, il est souhaitable d’accepter l’ambivalence entourant la coercition et de demeurer prudent en maintenant le doute et le questionnement. En ce sens, l’éthique participe à la définition de la psychiatrie et à son devenir en mettant en valeur l’importance de l’accueil, de l’écoute et du dialogue avec ce qui donne sens à une vie.

Les injures et les menaces représentent plus de la moitié des agressions déclarées par les pharmaciens, le plus souvent en lien avec un refus de délivrance. Les équipes officinales doivent être préparées à faire face aux violences en adoptant des mesures d'ordre technique et en connaissant les comportements à adopter. Insults and threats account for more than half of the assaults reported by pharmacists, most often related to refusal to provide requested products. Pharmacy teams must be prepared to deal with violence by adopting technical measures and by knowing how to behave. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sa mission est de proposer à notre communauté professionnelle des éléments de réflexion à propos de questionnements éthiques, et d'en dégager les spécificités au sein des services d'oncologie radiothérapie. À l'occasion du congrès annuel de 2020, la commission s'est penchée sur l'évolution de la relation soigné-soignant, et plus particulièrement sur l'idée forte de partenariat patient. En effet, la rédaction du Livre blanc du cancer a donné la parole aux personnes malades et souligné la nécessité de nouveaux dispositifs, tels que le « temps d'accompagnement soignant ». Les patients ne peuvent plus être considérés comme des objets de soin mais comme des personnes dont la dignité et l'autonomie doivent être impérativement respectées. L'acquisition de connaissances autorise un échange bilatéral, prérequis de la dynamique collaborative. Ils peuvent être partenaires de leurs propres soins, partenaires de la formation et de la recherche (patient expert) mais également partenaires des institutions et politiques de santé. C'est cette notion de partenariat et d'implication de la personne dans son parcours de soin en oncologie radiothérapie que nous allons analyser ici. Il s'agira autant de la définir, en développant la notion d'autonomie, que d'en faire émerger la complexité et l'ambivalence au travers notamment de deux exemples issus de notre pratique clinique : la démarche de décision partagée pour les patients ayant un cancer de la prostate localisé et l'implication du patient dans le bon déroulement de sa radiothérapie. In 2019, the scientific committee of the French society of radiation oncology (SFRO) created an ethics committee. Its mission is to provide our professional community with food for thought on ethical issues, and to identify its specificities within the radiation oncology departments. For the 2020 annual conference, the commission looked into the evolution of the patient-carer relationship, and more particularly to the strong idea of patient partnership. Indeed, the writing of the White Book of Cancer gave voice to sick people and stressed the need for new devices, such as the Caregiving Time. Patients can no longer be considered as objects of care but as people whose dignity and autonomy must be imperatively respected. The acquisition of knowledge allows a bilateral exchange, prerequisite of a dynamic collaboration. Patients can be partners in their own care, partners in training and research (expert patient), but also partners in health institutions and policies. It is this notion of partnership and involvement of the person in their path of care in radiation oncology that we will analyse here. It will be about defining it, by developing the concept of autonomy, and bringing out its complexity and ambivalence through two examples from our clinical practice: the shared decision-making process for patients with localized prostate cancer and the patient's involvement in the success of his radiotherapy.
