Specialists Hope to Recover Last 2 Volcano Victims in New Zealand

Specialist teams were due to return to New Zealand's volcanic White Island on Sunday to resume a land search for the bodies of two victims of an eruption that has now claimed 15 lives. 

Two four-person teams wearing protective clothing and using breathing apparatuses were to land on the island by helicopter early in the morning in the hope of finding the two bodies that have not been located since the island erupted December 9. 

``They will be wearing the same protective clothing as the eight New Zealand Defence Force personnel who were on the island on Friday," Police Deputy Commissioner John Tims said. ``However, their breathing apparatus will be different, meaning they will only be able to stay on the island for up to 75 minutes. 

``We remain committed to finishing the task at hand and returning the two remaining bodies to their loved ones," he added. 

While scientists said the possibility of a second eruption appeared to have receded, White Island remained ``highly volatile." 

Police said the toll from the eruption had risen to 15 with the death in a hospital on Saturday night of a severely burned victim. 

For the first time, police released the name of one of the dead. She was Krystal Browitt, 21, a veterinary nursing student from Melbourne, Australia. 

Friday operation

Military specialists on Friday recovered six bodies from the island in a carefully planned but risky operation. The bodies of the two other people known to have been on the island could not be located during the four-hour operation. 

Police divers working in near-zero visibility in contaminated waters around the island tried again Saturday to find the missing pair. Ash and other fallout from the eruption has made the sea near the island toxic, and divers must be washed clean after every completed dive. Tims called search conditions ``unique and challenging." 

``Divers have reported seeing a number of dead fish and eels washed ashore and floating in the water. Conditions in the water today are not optimal, with between zero and 2 meters visibility, depending on location," he said. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called on New Zealanders to observe a minute's silence in memory of victims of the disaster at 2:11 p.m. on Monday, exactly a week after the eruption. Ardern and her Cabinet will pause in silence during their regular meeting at Parliament in Wellington. 

``Wherever you are in New Zealand or around the world, this is a moment we can stand alongside those who have lost loved ones in this extraordinary tragedy,`` Ardern said. ``Together we can express our sorrow for those who have died and been hurt and our support for their grieving families and friends."

Security Forces Fire Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets in Beirut Protest

Security Forces Fire Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets in Beirut Protest 

Security forces on Saturday fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters in Beirut, some of whom tried to break into a barricaded central district of Lebanon's capital. 

Hundreds of people were gathered as part of a wave of protests that have swept Lebanon since October 17, furious at a ruling elite that steered the country toward its worst economic crisis in decades. 

Since the protests pushed Saad al-Hariri to resign as prime minister in late October, talks between the main parties have been deadlocked over forming a new cabinet. 

Donors leery

Lebanon urgently needs a new government to pull it out of the crisis, which has also shaken confidence in its banking system. Foreign donors say they will help the country only after it gets a cabinet that can enact reforms. 

Riot police and security forces deployed en masse in Beirut on Saturday night, chasing demonstrators in the street, beating and detaining some of them, a Reuters witness and a protester said. 

The forces fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets as some protesters tried to push through steel barriers blocking paths to the parliament and government headquarters. 

State news agency NNA said the tear gas had made several people faint, while the Lebanese Red Cross said 14 people were injured, six of them badly enough to need hospital treatment. 

The unrest erupted from a buildup of anger at the rising cost of living, new tax plans and the record of leaders dominating the country since the 1975-90 civil war. Protesters accuse the political class of milking the state for their own benefit through networks of patronage.

Mexico Disputes Language in US Bill on Ratifying Trade Pact

Mexico Disputes Language in US Bill on Ratifying Trade Pact 

Just days after agreement on a pact to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexico objected Saturday to legislation introduced in the U.S. Congress as part of an eventual ratification of the deal. 

Jesus Seade, the Mexican Foreign Relations Department's undersecretary and chief trade negotiator for North America, said most of the bill is in line with the typical process of ratification, but it also ``adds the designation of up to five U.S. labor attaches in Mexico tasked with monitoring the implementation of the labor reform that is under way in our country.'' 

Seade said that was not part of the agreement signed December 10 in Mexico City by Mexico, the United States and Canada to replace NAFTA, but was rather the product of ``political decisions by the Congress and administration of the United States.'' 

Mexico should have been consulted but was not, Seade said, ``and, of course, we are not in agreement.'' 

Mexico said that it resisted having foreign inspectors on its soil out of sovereignty principles, and that the agreement provided for panels to resolve disputes pertaining to labor and other areas. The three-person panels would comprise a person chosen by the United States, one by Mexico and a third-country person agreed upon by both countries. 

Seade called the designation of labor attaches ``unnecessary and redundant'' and said the presence of foreign officials must be authorized by the host country. 

"U.S. officials accredited at their embassy and consulates in Mexico, as a labor attache could be, may not in any case have inspection powers under Mexican law,'' he added. 

Sunday trip to Washington

Seade said that he sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer expressing Mexico's ``surprise and concern'' over the matter and that he would travel to Washington on Sunday to convey the message personally to Lighthizer and U.S. lawmakers. 

The elements of House Resolution 5430 in question ``display a regrettable mistrust'' in the treaty, which was negotiated ``in the spirit of good faith,'' the letter read. 

``We reserve the right to review the scope and effects of these provisions, which our government and people will no doubt clearly see as unnecessary,'' it continued. ``Additionally, I advise you that Mexico will evaluate not only the measures proposed in the [bill] ... but the establishment of reciprocal mechanisms in defense of our country's interests.'' 

Mexico's Senate approved the modifications to the agreement Thursday evening 107-1.

[[File:William Ritter.jpg|thumb|right|200px|William Ritter]]
'''William Ritter''' (31 May 1867 – 19 March 1955) was a [[Swiss people|Swiss]] novelist, critic and painter.

==Life==
Ritter was born in [[Neuchâtel]], [[Switzerland]] on 31 May 1867,<ref name=DHS></ref> the son of Guillaume (also known as Wilhelm) Ritter (1835–1912), an architect and hydraulic engineer.<ref></ref> From 1881, Ritter studied at the Collège latin de Neuchâtel, and in 1885 he enrolled in the [[University of Neuchâtel|Academy of Neuchâtel]].<ref name=DHS/>

As a young man Ritter was a devotee of [[Richard Wagner]], and made contact with French [[Decadent movement|Decadent]] circles in Paris in his early twenties.<ref name=DHS/> After he graduated from the Academy he travelled extensively in Europe, at first in the west – Paris, Vienna, Munich – and subsequently in the east (Czechoslovakia, Poland, Montenegro, Romania and Slovakia). It was from these trips that he gathered a great deal of material for his novels.<ref name=DHS/> In 1903 he visited Prague, and lived in the Czech capital with his Slovak friend and secretary Janko Cadra for a year between 1904 and 1905.<ref name="Inti">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Ritter, who never married, died on 19 March 1955 in [[Melide, Switzerland|Melide]].<ref name=DHS/>

==Writings==
===Music criticism===
Ritter was the correspondent for the Parisian literary review ''[[Mercure de France]]'' in Prague from 1904 to 1905, writing on musical matters, and 1907 he wrote the first French-language book on [[Bedřich Smetana]].<ref name="Inti"/>

Ritter is well known today for his writings on and support for [[Gustav Mahler]]. Ritter was initially an opponent of Mahler, opposing his works, like many of Mahler's critics in Vienna, on racial and antisemitic grounds.<ref name="Foundation"></ref> Of Mahler's [[Symphony No. 4 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 4]] he wrote that it was so "moist and persuasive, tantalizing and seductive" that it provoked "lewd glances in the concert halls, the salacious dribble at the corners of the mouths of some of the old men, and above all the ugly, whoring laughs of certain respectable women!".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Ritter converted to the Mahler cause after seeing the composer conduct his own [[Symphony No. 3 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 3]] in Prague on 2 February 1904<ref></ref> and in time he became one of the composer's staunchest advocates, writing glowing reviews of the premieres of Mahler's [[Symphony No. 7 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 7]] (in Prague, 1908)<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> and [[Symphony No. 8 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 8]] (in Munich, 1910). Ritter viewed Mahler's music as symbolic of modern Vienna, in the same way as the architecture of [[Adolf Wagner]] and the painting of [[Gustav Klimt]] and [[Koloman Moser]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

As a keen Slavophile, Ritter also did much in the promotion of the music of [[Leoš Janáček]].<ref name=Tyr>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Ritter had first had dealings with Janáček in 1912, agreeing to be a judge in a Club of the Friends of Art competition, but they did not meet until 1923.<ref name=Tyr/> They started corresponding in 1924, and in total 18 letters survive, including the last letter that Janáček wrote.<ref name="Inti"/> Ritter attended the rehearsal and premiere of Janáček's ''[[Glagolitic Mass]]'' in Brno in November–December 1927, and told the composer that it was best thing that he had ever written.<ref name=Wing>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Janácek replied to a letter from Ritter about the premiere with the words: "The way you write about my work makes me red-faced."<ref name=Wing/> The title of Janácek's incomplete Concerto for Solo Violin and Orchestra, ''Putovani dusicky'' (The pilgrimage of a little soul), bears a possible relation to Ritter's play ''L'ame et la chair'' (''Soul and Body''), the libretto of which Ritter offered to Janácek in 1924.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Ritter planned to write a book on Janáček, possibly the reason for the frequent meetings that the two had in July 1928, but none was ever written.<ref name="Inti"/>

===Theory of culture===
The debate about Swiss identity in Switzerland at the turn of the 19th–20th century concerned what constituted Swiss identity: geographical location or race – French, German or Italian. Ritter considered Swiss who spoke French had a Latin identity.<ref name="Pass">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Ritter's theory of culture had a profound influence on the thinking of the Swiss-French architect [[Le Corbusier]], who was a friend of Ritter in [[Munich]], where they both lived, Ritter being something of a "mentor"<ref name="Pass"/> to Le Corbusier from 1910
to 1916, assuming the fatherly role that had previously been filled by the Swiss painter [[Charles l'Eplattenier]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Ritter's notion that identity was a product of rootedness in a particular location (provoking his ancillary dislike of rootless Americans, city-dwelling Germans and Jews), together with his lifelong affection for Slavs, made a deep impression on [[Le Corbusier]], and was a decisive influence on his journey through the Balkans during his trip to the east in 1911, during which he studied Balkan vernacular architecture.<ref name="Pass"/>

An Ethiopian ‘Hero’ Works to Give Girls Back Their Dignity

An Ethiopian 'Hero' Works to Give Girls Back Their Dignity

Freweini Mebrahtu remembers when she returned to her home village in northern Ethiopia and saw women squatting over holes in the ground. Without any sanitary pads to use during their menstrual period, they were stuck in this undignified position.

"How is that possible? And they were telling me that they don't even use underwear," she told VOA. "And that was the turning point for me. I kind of felt the nerves going from head to my toes. And that's when I said, 'you know, I've gotta do something.' Why is this thing bothering me over and over again? So that was it."

The more she examined the problem the bigger it appeared. Two out of every five girls have been forced to miss school during their periods with many eventually dropping out. Grown women were resorting to using old cloth or grass as pads. Women and girls, she found, were being shamed by their community during their menstrual periods.

"We're talking about gender equality and all that stuff. But when the basic necessity of a young girl is not fulfilled, how is that possible?" she said. " How is the country going to be developed when 50 percent of your society - women - are compromised this way?"

In 2009, Freweini founded Mariam Seba Products Factory (MSPF) in Ethiopia's northern city of Mekelle. The factory produces reusable pads that can last up to 18 months and cost 90 percent less than disposable pads. Freweini has teamed up with a charitable organization Dignity Period and together they have distributed more than 150,000 free menstrual hygiene kits produced by the factory.

The work is having an impact. Dignity Period has recorded a 24% increase in attendance by girls in schools where they offer services.

This month Freweini was selected as the CNN Hero of the Year and will receive $100,000 to support her work. She said the award was an affirmation of a decision she made years ago to move, along with her 3-year-old daughter, from the U.S. back to Ethiopia and pursue this cause. Today her daughter is 18 and going off to college.

"You know, it was a moment of an amazing journey. And people thought that I was crying because of the whole event. But it's the whole timing issue," she said. "It must have been God's willing it to happen, the way it happened."

But she says her work is not done. She noted that there are 30 million women of reproductive age in Ethiopia and the vast majority do not have access to affordable sanitary pads. Additionally, there is a 15 percent value-added tax on many menstrual hygiene products.

"It's not just Ethiopia. It's everywhere, developing countries even in the U.S. there is a tax issue. So, now that CNN has made it an issue for anybody to look at this seriously, we hope that everyone will make a sensible solution and a sensible change in making this a reality for all," she said.

"Reach out and help your sisters. Wherever you are, together we can make this issue a thing of the past." #CNNHero Freweini Mebrahtu is stamping out the stigma surrounding menstruation — all while paying women premium wages. https://t.co/Ae0lyQdDY0pic.twitter.com/2G7cyaUYO6

After Tragedy, Oregon Christmas Tree Industry Buoyed by Bill

After Tragedy, Oregon Christmas Tree Industry Buoyed by Bill

It was nighttime when Pedro Lucas came home, clutching receipts showing he had paid a funeral home to have the bodies of three immigrant laborers returned to Guatemala from Oregon.

The three, including two of Lucas' cousins, were killed when a pickup truck slammed into a van carrying them and 10 other Guatemalans home from work at a Christmas tree farm. Lucas' father, who arrived in America seven months ago and sent part of his earnings to his wife in the village of Chacaj, was also in the van and remains in a coma, his back broken.

FILE - Pedro Lucas, who is originally from Guatemala, shows a receipt from a funeral home while sitting in his home in Gervais, Oregon, Dec. 6, 2019.

"It's unknown if he'll walk again," Lucas said in Spanish.

The Nov. 29 crash was a blow to Oregon's immigrant farm workers, the driving force behind the state's $121 million Christmas tree industry, the nation's largest.

On Wednesday, spirits were lifted for some when the U.S. House passed a bill that would loosen restrictions on hiring foreign agricultural workers and create a path to citizenship for more than 1 million farm workers estimated to be in the country illegally. The bill's fate in the Senate is unclear, and the White House hasn't said if President Donald Trump would sign it. But the 260-165 vote was a rare stroke of bipartisanship on immigration.

The administration has expressed support for growers who say they are desperate for immigrants to fill jobs, even though Trump pinned his 2016 campaign and his domestic agenda to building a border wall with Mexico and introduced policies that make it far more difficult for immigrants to win asylum.

'Invisible work'

Both growers and Latino workers in Oregon say native-born Americans won't take these arduous field jobs.

"The person who works in an office, he doesn't know what it's like to work out there, how much one suffers out there," Lucas said as he sat at his dining room table, the funeral home documents in front of him. "In this season — here we're warm inside — but outside, in the morning when it's cold and there's ice, you suffer a lot."

FILE - The scene of a deadly van crash in Salem, Oregon, is shown in this Nov. 29, 2019, file photo provided by the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

The deadly crash shed light on an "invisible work" happening in Oregon, said Reyna Lopez, executive director of a farm worker union called PCUN, an acronym in Spanish for Pine Workers and Farmers United of the Northwest.

The labor takes place mostly out of public view, in Christmas tree farms that blanket parts of Oregon's foothills and the Willamette Valley, an area renowned for its moist climate and fertile soil.

"People don't realize that the majority of this industry is immigrant labor," said Lopez, whose own father, a Mexican immigrant, was a Christmas tree planter.

Christmas tree farmers in Oregon, facing a tight labor market this year, used farm labor contractors who found migrant workers in California to help with the tree harvest, according to Oregon Employment Department officials.

The victims of the crash spent their last day loading Christmas trees onto trucks at Holiday Tree Farms, one of the world's largest Christmas tree farms. They received paychecks from a contractor that Friday night in Salem and were headed home when the pickup truck crumpled their van. The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division is investigating, though a spokesman declined to provide details.

Migrants numbers

In 2017, 4.7 million Christmas trees were harvested in Oregon, 4 million in North Carolina and 1.5 million in Michigan, the country's three largest producers, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Oregon doesn't compile records on the percentage of immigrants in the Christmas tree industry, but it clearly relies on them. So do North Carolina and Michigan.

FILE - Workers sort Christmas tree seedlings at Hupp Farms in Silverton, Oregon, Dec. 5, 2019.

As the sun burned through fog one recent morning at Hupp Farms, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Range near Silverton, Oregon, Jan Hupp surveyed stacks of bound Noble and Nordmann firs about to be loaded onto trucks. They were the last among the 30,000 trees that employees and contractors downed with chain saws during this year's harvest.

"Without immigrants, we couldn't have done this," Hupp, a trucker cap pushed back on his head, his blue jeans stained brown and green from soil and trees, told The Associated Press. "People born here don't want to do this work."

His farm has 20 employees, 15 of them from Mexico and the rest U.S.-born. Members of contract crews that helped with the harvest were from Mexico or Central America.

Asked Thursday about passage of the U.S. House bill, Hupp replied: "If it's a pathway to get more people who are willing to work, I'm all for that."

Felling trees

Harvesting is the hardest part of the job, requiring the cutter to bend over with a heavy chain saw to sever the trunk 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) or less above the ground, said Daniel Garibay, a Hupp Farms employee. He originally is from Zarquillas, a town in Michoacan, Mexico, that he said is plagued by shootouts between rival drug gangs.

If the chain saw touches the ground, the chain is immediately dulled and must be replaced, said the bearded 41-year-old.

Asked what was the biggest number of trees he has felled in one day, Garibay responded matter-of-factly: "One thousand."

Lucas, sitting in a rented house in Gervais, Oregon, that he and his wife, Raquel, share with his father, his cousins and their sons, described dealing with the aftermath of the van crash. He has relied on donations to pay a funeral home $21,750 to have the bodies of his cousins and a third worker, aged 18, sent home.

"They supported me from Florida, Atlanta, Tennessee, Chicago, and many who work on farms in Oregon. All of Woodburn supported me," Lucas said, referring to a nearby predominantly Latino town. The Guatemalan Consulate in Seattle said it is prepared to assist.

While arrangements are being made for the bodies to be transported, they are being kept in their caskets in an unheated room at City View Funeral Home in Salem.

Standing tall in the lobby, so perfect that it could be mistaken for a fake if not for the piney scent, is a Noble fir Christmas tree.

Zimbabwe's Doctors Strike Makes Mission Hospital a 'Last Port of Hope' 

With no end in sight to the Zimbabwe doctors strike over salaries and poor working conditions, desperate patients have looked to church-run mission hospitals for much-needed health care.  

One such facility, Karanda Mission Hospital, about 200 kilometers north of Harare, is overwhelmed by patients seeking treatment.

This Evangelical Church-run hospital was established in the 1960s to cater for patients in the Mount Darwin district of Zimbabwe. But because of the doctors strike, which began three months ago, people like Darlington Handerson, 39, are traveling hundreds of kilometers to be treated here.  

Handerson, who has a broken hip, said he arrived more than two weeks ago. The place is flooded with people, he said. Handerson was told he would be seen on November 29, but doctors said they had more urgent cases, so he was told to come back this week. He was further told that if he didn't receive treatment this week, it wouldn't happen until January. 

Canadian Dr. Paul Thistle, the head of Karanda Mission Hospital, said its patient numbers had more than doubled in the last two months.

"That quite stresses on our resources — our doctors, nurses, medicines, our surgical supplies," Thistle said. "Karanda is probably seen as the port of last hope for some people who have failed to access services elsewhere in the country. As you can see by the queues, some people may wait for three days to get seen by a doctor.  

"If someone is really sick, we move them up to the front of the line. But it is sometimes very difficult to assess how sick people are, because everybody outside is unwell." 
 
Mercy Taderera recently traveled 300 miles to the hospital with her daughter Tanatswa Mapfupfu, 13, who had a bladder infection. Even so, they had to wait to see a doctor.   

"I wish they would value people's lives," Taderera said of President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government and the doctors on strike. "So many people have died because of the doctors strike. This is an appeal to both: The government must attend to the doctors' concerns." 

Over the years, international aid organizations have funded Zimbabwe's neglected social sector. But that help has largely consisted of providing drugs and technical support. There's been no help on salaries, which the doctors want increased to cope with soaring inflation.

Dr. Alex Gasasira, World Health Organization representative to Zimbabwe, says "the poor and the most vulnerable are the ones most affected" by the doctors strike. (Columbus Mavhunga/VOA)

Dr. Alex Gasasira, the World Health Organization representative to Zimbabwe, is hoping the country's officials and doctors find a solution to end the strike. 
 
"We are very worried that the most vulnerable will not access the care they need," he said. "We have been following the discussions. We are hopeful that consensus will be reached [and] the health workers can be back on duty within the shortest possible time, because the poor and the most vulnerable are the ones most affected by this impasse." 
 
That surely would be a relief to workers here and patients going for days without treatment as the doctors strike drags on.

[[File:Michel Le Moal.jpg|thumb|Michel Le Moal, Member of the French Academy of sciences]]
'''Michel le Moal''', born on 28 September 1934 in [[Le Havre]], is a [[Neuropsychiatry|neuropsychiatrist]] and French researcher in [[neuroscience]]. He is considered to be the initiator in France of research aimed at establishing relationships between [[Behavior|behaviour]] and neuroscience and at creating an integrative [[neurobiology]].

== Biography ==
Pupil of the Nation ([[Rocroi]] Court, 1943), he completed his secondary studies in [[Givet]] (in the Ardennes), then at the [[Lycée Henri-IV|Lycée Henri IV]] (in [[Paris]]), and at the Lycée de [[Brest, France|Brest]].

SPCN at the [[Faculty of Sciences]] in Paris (1952), then preparatory class (Brest Maritime Hospital) for the entrance exam to the National School of the Marine Health Service (1953); entry to the School (1954), [[Bordeaux]]. At the same time, he continued his medical studies at the Faculty of Medicine. Interruption (1959-1961) for treatment in Sanatorium, [[Isère]]. During medical training (Doctorate in 1968), decides to focus on what was still [[neuropsychiatry]]; after specialty internship (1968), chooses child neuropsychiatry; this activity will cease in 1978. In addition to medicine, he completed his training: Bachelor of Arts ([[Philosophy]], [[Psychology]]) 1962, Bachelor of Science ([[Chemistry]] - [[Physiology]]) 1962. Doctorate of State in Science, at 40 years of age (Thesis supervisor: Pierre Karli).

From 1964 onwards, he was assistant and then assistant professor at the Faculty of Science in Bordeaux. From 1975 to 1976, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the [[California Institute of Technology]] (Caltech) at J. Olds' Laboratory. Then professor of Neurosciences, from 1976, and until 2005. From 1980 to 2004, he was Director of Studies at the [[École pratique des hautes études|École Pratique des Hautes Études]] (EPHE 3rd section), in Experimental Psychopathology. From 1993 to 2003, he was a Member of the [[Institut Universitaire de France]].

Professor emeritus at the University of Bordeaux, he has headed several [[French National Centre for Scientific Research|CNRS]] and [[Inserm]] units, then designed and directed the Institut François Magendie de Neurosciences (Inserm - CNRS). Michel le Moal is considered to be the initiator in France of research aimed at establishing relationships between behaviour and neuroscience and at creating an integrative neurobiology<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. In order to understand the transition from adaptation to disadaptation, he laid the foundations for experimental psychopathology. In recent years, the neurobiology of addiction has been the focus of attention. He has been a member of the French Academy of sciences since 2005<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. He received the Neuropsychopharmacology Award in 2005<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>.

== Research themes and scientific contributions ==
He attempts to explain the relationship to drugs by integrating an individual's history and education into the cellular functioning of the brain<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2).</ref>.

Advances in behavioural neuroscience and psychiatric research, as well as his many interviews with [[Henri Laborit]], were the reasons for Le Moal's stays in the United States since the late 1970s, where progress was rapid. At Caltech, he learned the methods of multiple intracerebral computer recording in animals free of movement, then at the Salk and Scripps, the basics of Neuroendocrinology and Neuropharmacology and in all these laboratories the behavioural approaches and the need for integrative Neuroscience and the difficulties of modelling in experimental Psychopathology.

From 1974 to 1980, his publications focused on:

*    the role of a ventral neural system including the [[Neurotransmitter|neurotransmitters]] [[dopamine]], [[Norepinephrine|noradrenaline]], or [[serotonin]], in motivational processes; stimulation (intracerebral self-stimulation) causes attention arousal, pleasure phenomena, and injury the inability to focus, uncontrolled hyperactivity,
*    the functional roles of [[dopaminergic]] systems in their frontal cortical projections; identification of memory syndromes resulting from their local lesions and their specific intracerebral stimulation and blockages; analysis of the neural bases of individual and species survival behaviours; discovery of the central roles of the CRF and [[vasopressin]] in adaptive behaviours<ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Stinus L, Gaffori O, Simon H, Le Moal M., « Disappearance of hoarding and disorganization of eating behavior after ventral mesencephalic tegmentum lesions in rats », ''J Comp Physiol Psychol. 92(2): 289-296'',‎ 1978</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Gaffori O, Le Moal M., « Disruption of maternal behavior and appearance of cannibalism after ventral mesencephalic tegmentum lesions », ''Physiol Behav. 23(2): 317-323.'',‎ 1979</ref>.

From 1980 to 1995, his research on the modalities of the transition from normal to pathological was based on methods of behavioural analysis and their measurement<ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Koob GF, Le Moal M, Gaffori O, Manning M, Sawyer WH, Rivier J, Bloom FE., « Arginine vasopressin and a vasopressin antagonist peptide: opposite effects on extinction of active avoidance in rats », ''Regul Pept. 2(3): 153-163.'',‎ 1981</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Le Moal M, Koob GF, Koda LY, Bloom FE, Manning M, Sawyer WH, Rivier J., « Vasopressor receptor antagonist prevents behavioural effects of vasopressin. », ''Nature. 291(5815): 491-493.'',‎ 1981</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Sutton RE, Koob GF, Le Moal M, Rivier J, Vale W., « Corticotropin releasing factor produces behavioural activation in rats », ''Nature. 297(5864): 331-333.'',‎ 1982</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Koob GF, Dantzer R, Bluthé RM, Lebrun C, Bloom FE, Le Moal M., « Central injections of arginine vasopressin prolong extinction of active avoidance », ''Peptides. 7(2): 213-218.'',‎ 1986</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Le Moal M, Bluthé RM, Dantzer R, Bloom FE, Koob GF., « The role of arginine vasopressin and others neuropeptides in brain-body integration. », ''In: Cognitive Neuro Chemistry.

It studies the consequences of harmful environments, aggressions (stress) and proposes the measurement of specific markers acting centrally (including the stress system and its central receptors, the neurons involved). He will be the first to set up lifetime studies, for example based on prenatal stress; he will demonstrate the behavioural consequences, including attention disorders, self-regulation and progression to [[Drug-addiction|drug addiction]].

From 1995 to 2005, in continuity with previous results, Le Moal focused the work of its teams on a fundamental question of [[Psychopathology]]: why some subjects succumb and others do not, or show resilience; thus the causes of interindividual, genetic, developmental and environmental differences. The underlying neuro-adaptive processes will be studied on the basis of vulnerability to addictions, the effects of chronic stress, and pathological aging. These analyses will use cognitive, emotional, hormonal, molecular and hormonal approaches<ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Piazza PV, Le Moal ML., « Pathophysiological basis of vulnerability to drug abuse: role of an interaction between stress, glucocorticoids, and dopaminergic neurons », ''Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol. 36: 359-378.'',‎ 1996</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Piazza PV, Le Moal M., « The role of stress in drug self-administration », ''Trends Pharmacol Sci. 19(2): 67-74.'',‎ 1996</ref> <ref><abbr>(en)</abbr> Koob GF, Le Moal M., « Reward neurocircuitry plasticity and the "dark side" of drug addiction », ''Nat Neurosci. 8: 1442-1444.'',‎ 2005</ref>.

== Publications ==
The results obtained by Michel Le Moal's research (more than 450 publications, 36,000 citations) reflect the exceptional quality of his French and American collaborators. They have been highlighted by many articles published in ''Nature'' or ''Science''<ref></ref>.

`` Intelligent Information Society <nowiki>''</nowiki>'' is a combination of data created, collected and accumulated through advanced information and [[communication technology]] infrastructure and artificial intelligence ([[AI|AI)]]. It is a society in which new values ​​are created and developed by utilizing them.''

[[Innovation|Innovative]] changes across the economy and society, with data and knowledge becoming more important than existing production factors (labor, capital, etc.), the convergence of various products and services, the collapse of industrial boundaries, and the expansion of automation through intelligent machines into the domain of intellectual labor.

== Change to Intelligent Information Society ==
In the huge new [[paradigm]] of the [[Fourth Industrial Revolution]], the convergence of [[artificial intelligence]], [[Robotechnology|robot technology]], [[big data]], and software enters various fields such as labor, welfare, employment, education, and defense as well as 'smartization'. [[Spark]] revolutionary change across society.

== Ripple Effect ==

* AI home appliances solve housework
* Commuting more safely and comfortably with [[autonomous vehicles]]
*[[AI in healthcare|AI healthcare]] service predicts the onset of certain diseases<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->

== Soft Power ==
A society based on connection and intelligence is an intelligent information society. The society in which intelligence is combined with information, not just information, is very different from its predecessor. It is not a human-led society but a society where humans and things lead together with intelligence. Technically, it is evolving into intelligent information technology beyond machine technology and information technology. The economy goes beyond the material economy to a service economy and further to a shared economy. Between and within countries, [[soft power]] becomes more important than hard power. The governing style of society changes from vertical hierarchical order of ruling not vertical hierarchical order of order, and is characterized by hybrid culture.<ref></ref>

Humanity has maintained a community-centered society in order to survive in nature and dominate many species. However, if intelligence extends to things other than human beings, and transforms intelligence into products that exist independently in the outside society, it can shake the community when it becomes available to everyone. The relationship that comes from the connection between the individual and the machine becomes more important than the community or association. The mass of intelligence greatly increases productivity and efficiency, reducing the gap in the superiority of features.

For humans, the role of more empathy with other humans and machines becomes important. The character of the sympathetic society is strengthened, where [[social capital]] plays an important role. If social capital is abundant, the connections for mutual benefit of members of society play a positive role. The role of social capital is greater than ever in an intelligent information society where connectivity is maximized by the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. In order for sharing to work well, social capital based on social trust must be abundant. And the ability of empathy to understand and perceive other human emotions by artificial intelligence becomes a keyword of social management.

This is in line with [[Joseph Nye]]'s soft power capabilities. Soft power is more important than hard power in the intelligent information society. [[Korea]] has been promoting hard power-oriented national strategies and economic growth. Already, Joseph Nye argued that the proliferation of knowledge and networks in information has shifted the nature of power from hard power such as military and economic power to soft power such as cultural and political values ​​and diplomacy. Rather than coercion, restraint, and rewards, they dominate the other person's mind and persuade them (Nye, 2004). The intelligent information society will be the inflection point of how society operates and operates from hard power to soft power.<ref></ref>

== Service Economy and Sharing Economy ==
Therefore, the economy of the intelligent information society also has the characteristics of the [[digital economy]] including the characteristics of soft power. The Internet of Things, combined with creative ideas, serves as a driving force for continued economic growth, discovering more creative, lower cost and new services. The [[Internet]] of Things creates a whole new value through collaboration between industries through the role of value linking. It is to create new added value by applying the Internet of Things to fields based on connected environments such as automotive, medical, energy and power.

The service of manufacturing industry progresses and leads to [[service economy]]. Companies change from just selling products to providing services. The importance of social production grows. Social production is a way of producing a product or service through voluntary, open and horizontal collaboration of various people connected to social networks.

Thus, it has the characteristics of a mixed economy of capitalist market and [[sharing economy]]. We are getting used to sharing cars, homes, furniture and clothing through social media, unions, and redistribution clubs. Therefore, the owner is not the owner of the goods or the goods, but the owner. The transaction costs for sharing products, services, and content will be greatly reduced, making it possible to utilize them efficiently. [[Jeremy Rifkin]] says social capital is as important as financial capital, access replaces ownership, cooperation rather than competition, exchange value of capitalism replaces shared value of shared economy. It was argued.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
== Platform Society ==
In the [[Intelligence]] [[Information]] [[Society]], the whole society operates as a [[Platform]], which strengthens the social characteristics of the [[Platform]]. Intelligent technology depends on the platform level of the society in which it is implemented. So if the first [[Industrial Revolution]] was centered on factories, then the fourth [[Industrial Revolution]] is centered on platforms. Therefore, future technological developments will be developed in the direction that [[Computing]] [[Technology]] plays a decisive role while combining [[Networking]] technology and [[Computing]] technology. The Internet of Things, [[Artificial intelligence]], and virtual reality are some of the extensions of such technological advancements.

The intelligence information society is not centered on mass production but centered on customized economy. Intelligence is shrinking economies of scale, and small services and small-scale products become [[Mainstream]]. This can contribute to improving the quality of life with personalized and customized services that reflect the individual's situation and needs.

Intelligence can also be used to increase the share of economic activity to solve social problems. Economic activity is the driving force for solving social problems such as energy management, environment, safety, crime, health, transportation, and weather. It aims to control uncertainty through the use of intelligent systems and technologies, establish social order with a predictive and proactive response to risks, and create a crime-free society.

By adding intelligence to sharing and linking, the ruling order of society is characterized by a vertical, horizontal, hierarchical order-oriented society. The relationship by connection is the basis for the change of society as an open society. More governance will be required than command and control.

A study was also proposed to establish this as a [[Heterarchy]]. [[Heterarchy]] [[Democracy]] is a consensual democracy in which states, citizens, and markets share power and cooperate cooperatively. It is democracy. Big data is the foundation of the [[Heterarchy]] democracy.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

[[Big data]] is the foundation for citizens to become 'informed citizens' by providing them with unlimited information. Thus, citizens with big data-based information become pro-users who are both producers and suppliers of policies as well as users and operators of policies. It is to enable sharing to be realized<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

== The Period of Society ==
On the other hand, there are many things to note behind these positive aspects. Care must be taken to ensure that the new form of democracy on which big data is based is not a "big data brother." The history of mankind remains intact for the pain suffered by a leader like Big Brother. Checks and balances should be complemented by open civil society participation so that no government or any group of powers dominate. Furthermore, the labor market is expected to be further divided into specialized technical jobs, such as [[Artificial intelligence]], and simple labor jobs, resulting in fewer overall jobs. The jobs of the more expensive human beings can be reduced and the status of the [[Middle class]] can be reduced.

Similarly, it is difficult for [[AI]] and [[Machine]]<nowiki/>s to answer social life problems. According to a study applying big data analysis to the media, Korean society from the 1960s to the early 1980s was the "economic era" represented by industrialization, and the "political" Era ", the next 15 years will see a" era of society "with the highest priority on improving the" Quality of Social Life ", which is relatively slow compared to the economy and politics. , 2016). In this case, it is a way for the intelligent information society to assume such a direction by improving the social quality of life as a problem that the intelligent information society should deal with and solve.

We are now moving to the Intelligence information society. However, no form or characteristic has yet been determined. It is like drawing a picture on a blank sheet of paper. Therefore, we need to be able to discuss the issues of what kind of intelligence information society is assumed, how to operate the intelligence information society, and to control the direction of technological development. [[Government]]<nowiki/>s, [[Industry]] and [[Civil society]] should prepare these issues as a framework of cooperation. It is because of humans that society does not fall into technological all-roundness and make the direction for improving human life.
