S'il vit à Turpange, hameau de Messancy, en Lorraine, André Schmitz est né en Ardenne. A Erneuville. En 1929. Et il avoue avoir gardé de ses origines quelque chose de sanglier. Comme cet animal devenu l'emblème de nos vieilles terres de celtitude et d'incertitude, le poète se tient volontiers à l'écart ; foncièrement pacifique, il ne charge que blessé ou ; pour défendre les siens. C'est encore de l'Ardenne qu'André tient cette distance naturelle, entre pudeur et méfiance, vis-à-vis du monde, de la poésie et de lui-même. Ce qui ne l'a pas empêché, à coups d'Incises incisions, de construire patiemment une oeuvre majeure. Il faut lire et relire Schmitz, car sa poésie ne se livre pas à la première lecture, il vous faudra l'apprivoiser pour qu'à son tour, elle vous apprivoise, vous surprenne et, , au terme d'un long cheminement de compagnonnage, vous enchante.

This book focuses on the role of norms in the description, explanation, prediction and combat of corruption. It conceives corruption as a ubiquitous problem, constructed by specific traditions, values, norms and institutions. The chapters concentrate on the relationship between corruption and social as well as legal norms, providing comparative perspectives from different academic disciplines, theoretical and methodological backgrounds, and various country-studies. Due to the nature of social norms that are embedded in personal, local, and organizational contexts, the contributions in the volume focus in particular on the individual and institutional level of analysis (micro and meso-mechanisms). The book will be of interest to students and scholars across the fields of political science, public administration, socio-legal studies and psychology.

After a long period, in which the research focused mainly on industrial robotics, nowadays scientists aim to build machines able to act autonomously in unstructured domains, and to interface friendly with humans, while performing intelligently their assigned tasks. Such intelligent autonomous systems are now being intensively developed, and are ready to be applied to every field, from social life to modern enterprises. We believe the following years will be increasingly characterised by their extensive use. This is dramatically changing the whole scenario of human society.
