Introduction -- 2. The Epidural in Context -- 3. The Politics of Birth -- 4. Institutional Culture: Discipline and Resistance -- 5. A Dialectic of Risk -- 6. A Circle of Trust -- 7. Closing the Circle.This book examines the future of birthing practices, particularly by focusing on epidural analgesia in childbirth. It describes historical and cultural trajectories that have shaped the way in which birth is understood in Western, developed nations. In setting out the nature of epidural history, knowledge and practice, the book delves into related birth practices within the hospital setting. By critically examining these practices, which are embedded in a scientific discourse that rationalises and relies upon technology use, the authors argue that epidural analgesia has been positioned as a safe technology in contemporary maternity culture, despite it carrying particular risks. In examining alternative research the book proposes that increasing epidural rates are not only due to greater pain relief requirements or access but are influenced by technocratic values and a fragmented maternity system. The authors outline the way in which this epidural discourse influences how information is presented to women and how this affects their choices around the use of pain relief in labour.Social medicineMedical anthropologyGynecologyEthnologyFeminismFeminist theoryMedical SociologyMedical AnthropologyGynecologyEthnographyFeminism and Feminist TheorySocial medicine.Medical anthropology.Gynecology.Ethnology.Feminism.Feminist theory.Medical Sociology.Medical Anthropology.Gynecology.Ethnography.Feminism and Feminist Theory.306.46161.68Newnham Elizabethauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut950280McKellar Loisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autPincombe Janauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910300597903321Towards the Humanisation of Birth2148605UNINA04768nam 22007575 450 991048427130332120251116161755.03-662-53525-410.1007/978-3-662-53525-7(CKB)3710000000872976(DE-He213)978-3-662-53525-7(MiAaPQ)EBC6298740(MiAaPQ)EBC5579014(Au-PeEL)EBL5579014(OCoLC)960195590(PPN)195511360(EXLCZ)99371000000087297620160929d2016 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTransactions on Computational Collective Intelligence XXIV /edited by Ngoc Thanh Nguyen, Ryszard Kowalczyk, Joaquim Filipe1st ed. 2016.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (IX, 169 p. 78 illus.)Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence,2190-9288 ;9770Includes index.3-662-53524-6 Dynamic Topologies for Particle Swarms -- Evaluative Study of PSO/Snake Hybrid Algorithm and Gradient Path Labeling for Calculating Solar Differential Rotation -- The Uncertainty Quandary: A Study in the Context of the Evolutionary Optimization in Games and other Uncertain Environments -- Hybrid Single Node Genetic Programming for Symbolic Regression -- L2 Designer: A Tool for Genetic L-system Programming in Context of Generative Art -- Manifold Learning Approach toward Constructing State Representation for Robot Motion Generation -- The Existence of Two Variant Processes in Human Declarative Memory: Evidence Using Machine Learning Classification Techniques in Retrieval Tasks -- Divide and Conquer Ensemble Method for Time Series Forecasting -- Application areas of Ephemeral Computing: A survey.These transactions publish research in computer-based methods of computational collective intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as the semantic Web, social networks, and multi-agent systems. TCCI strives to cover new methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of CCI understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural). The application of multiple computational intelligence technologies, such as fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, neural systems, consensus theory, etc., aims to support human and other collective intelligence and to create new forms of CCI in natural and/or artificial systems. This twenty-forth issue contains 9 carefully selected and revised contributions.p>.Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence,2190-9288 ;9770Artificial intelligenceComputational intelligenceComputersComputer simulationComputer networksArtificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Computational Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014Information Systems and Communication Servicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008Computation by Abstract Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16013Simulation and Modelinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000Computer Communication Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13022Artificial intelligence.Computational intelligence.Computers.Computer simulation.Computer networks.Artificial Intelligence.Computational Intelligence.Information Systems and Communication Service.Computation by Abstract Devices.Simulation and Modeling.Computer Communication Networks.006.3Nguyen Ngoc Thanh(Computer scientist).edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKowalczyk Ryszardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFilipe Joaquimedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484271303321Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence XXIV2830106UNINA
