  • Protection of Farm Animals
  • Scientific Research

Reduction refers to any strategy that results in fewer animals being used to obtain sufficient data to answer a research question while maximizing the information obtained per animal. This potentially limits or avoids the subsequent use of additional animals although it is important that this be done without further compromising any individual animal' s lifetime welfare.

La réduction désigne toutes les solutions dont le résultat se traduit soit par une diminution du nombre d'animaux utilisés tout en obtenant suffisamment de données pour répondre aux questions reliées à l'étude, soit par une utilisation qui maximise les données obtenues de chaque animal, ce qui peut limiter ou éviter l'utilisation subséquente d'animaux supplémentaires, et ce, sans pour autant compromettre le bien-être animal.

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of Human Relations
CONT

The concept of defamilialisation is often defined as the extent to which individual adults can uphold a socially acceptable standard of living, independently of family relationships, either through paid work or through social security provision. Defamilialisation can therefore be used as a way of testing the extent to which welfare states facilitate female autonomy and economic independence from the family.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie des relations humaines
CONT

C'est pourquoi, les pays peuvent être appréhendés à partir de la typologie des États providence [...] basée sur le critère de démarchandisation, infléchie par l'apport de la critique féministe centrée sur le degré de défamilialisation, c'est-à-dire de collectivisation des responsabilités liées à la famille.
