Le 5 mars 1955, dans une communication faite à l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques, le docteur Marie-Andrée Lagroua Weill-Hallé évoque un récent procès d'assises : un jeune couple vient d'être condamné à sept ans de prison, pour avoir laissé mourir, faute de soins, son quatrième enfant. Les cir­constances du drame n'ont pas été jugées atténuantes. Pourtant, la jeune femme, infirme d'une main et atteinte d'une dépression nerveuse, attendait à vingt-trois ans son cinquième enfant. "Si nous avons tenu à évoquer devant votre illustre compagnie ce drame particulièrement douloureux, plaide le docteur "Weill-Hallé, c'est qu'il n'est pas à l'heure actuelle un cas isolé ". Elle suggère un remède : " Des centres d'eugénique où des jeunes .ménages pourraient demander conseil, aussi bien sur le plan de la psycho­logie et de la morale que :sur la planification de la famille et "les problèmes de stérilité et de fécondité". Elle conclut en disant que " ces centres pourraient entreprendre, à long terme, l'éducation de la population au sujet des problèmes sexuels, et si tant est. comme le pense Sauvy, qu'à l'heure actuelle en France c'est la stérilité qui est volontaire il y aurait lieu de substituer à cette conception celle plus constructive de " maternité volontaire " ". L'expression est employée pour la première fois, elle est le mot-clé d'une campagne qui aboutira à l'institution du planning familial en France. En effet, cette intervention, ou plus exactement les drames qui l'ont provoquée, semblent bien être l'aboutissement d'un demi-siècle d'anathème et de silence, et la conséquence des principes législatifs, moraux et religieux qui régissent les problèmes posés par la natalité depuis 1920. Les partisans du contrôle des naissances vont essayer d'interpréter la loi et demander ensuite son abolition partielle (.).

Since the 19th century, assertions of a common, racially-mixed Cuban identity based on acceptance of African descent have challenged the view of Cubans as racially white. For the past two centuries, these competing views of Cuban racial identity have remained in continuous tension, while Cuban women and men make their own racially oriented choices in family formation. Cuba's Racial Crucible explores the historical dynamics of Cuban race relations by highlighting the racially selective reproductive practices and genealogical memories associated with family formation.

PurposeAfter summarizing the theories of anticipation proposed over the past century, the paper aims to distinguish between anticipation as an empirical phenomenon and the conditions that make anticipation possible. The paper's first part seeks to show that many scholars from various research fields worked on the many nuances of anticipation. The paper's second part seeks to discuss the difference between the capacity of anticipation and the nature of systems able to exhibit anticipatory behavior. The former endeavor adopts a descriptive attitude, whilst the latter seeks to understand what it is that makes anticipation possible.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of anticipation and anticipatory systems.FindingsAnticipation is a widely studied phenomenon within a number of different disciplines, including biology and brain studies, cognitive and social sciences, engineering and artificial intelligence. There is a need for relying on at least two different levels of analysis, namely anticipation as an empirical phenomenon and the idea of an anticipatory system or the study of the internal structure that a system should possess so that it can behave in an anticipatory fashion.Research limitations/implicationsThe literature summarized by the paper is only part of a substantially larger body of documents. More extensive analyses are needed to firmly establish the conclusions suggested.Practical implicationsThe paper allows better understanding of the complexity of anticipation and the differences between types of anticipation (e.g. between explicit versus implicit anticipation).Originality/valueFor the first time, the distinction implicitly present in the surveyed literature between anticipation as an empirical phenomenon and the idea of anticipatory system as the study of the conditions that make anticipation possible is raised explicitly.

The papers published in this volume were presented at Sveriges Energiting 2010 (The Swedish Energy Parliament 2010) in Älvsjö south of Stockholm in March 16-17. Sveriges Energiting is Sweden's largest scene for discussion of energy and climate related activities. It gathered about 2300 participants and had a broad range of energy related issues covered, such as transport, future energy systems, industrial energy, energy and climate, energy efficiency and many more, including several on lighting. One session was initiated and organized by me: "New Lighting—New LEDs". I hope this kind of cooperation between lighting researchers will continue in the future. One step in this direction is Nordic Light Emitting Diode Initiative (NORLED), initiated by Professor Mikael Syväjärvi, Linköping University. The aim of the NORLED project is to develop an innovative and industrially feasible white LED technology for general lighting. The project consortium is composed of partners from Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Norway.
