Maladie tropicalethumb|Hôpital des maladies tropicales de Calcutta. Les maladies tropicales sont des maladies infectieuses qui se produisent dans les tropiques et les régions subtropicales. Le programme spécial de recherche et de formation concernant les maladies tropicales (TDR, abréviation de l'anglais Tropical Diseases Research) de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé se concentre sur les maladies délaissées qui affectent de façon disproportionnée les populations pauvres et marginalisées.
Département de la SantéA health department or health ministry is a part of government which focuses on issues related to the general health of the citizenry. Subnational entities, such as states, counties and cities, often also operate a health department of their own. Health departments perform food inspections and other health related inspections (the person who performs this job is often called a public health inspector), vaccination programs, free STD and HIV tests, tobacco enforcement and cessation programs, and other medical assistance programs.
Neural adaptationNeural adaptation or sensory adaptation is a gradual decrease over time in the responsiveness of the sensory system to a constant stimulus. It is usually experienced as a change in the stimulus. For example, if a hand is rested on a table, the table's surface is immediately felt against the skin. Subsequently, however, the sensation of the table surface against the skin gradually diminishes until it is virtually unnoticeable. The sensory neurons that initially respond are no longer stimulated to respond; this is an example of neural adaptation.
Conscience artificielleLa conscience artificielle, également connue sous le nom de conscience des machines ou de conscience synthétique, est un domaine de recherche visant à comprendre, modéliser et tester la potentielle conscience liée aux intelligences artificielles. Ce champ de recherche s'inspire régulièrement d'expériences de pensée telles que celle du spectre inversé, de l'argument de la connaissance, du zombie philosophique ou encore de la chambre chinoise.

Product (business)In marketing, a product is an object, or system, or service made available for consumer use as of the consumer demand; it is anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy the desire or need of a customer. In retailing, products are often referred to as merchandise, and in manufacturing, products are bought as raw materials and then sold as finished goods. A service is also regarded as a type of product. In project management, products are the formal definition of the project deliverables that make up or contribute to delivering the objectives of the project.
Implicit memoryIn psychology, implicit memory is one of the two main types of long-term human memory. It is acquired and used unconsciously, and can affect thoughts and behaviours. One of its most common forms is procedural memory, which allows people to perform certain tasks without conscious awareness of these previous experiences; for example, remembering how to tie one's shoes or ride a bicycle without consciously thinking about those activities.
Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiativeDrugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) est une organisation de recherche indépendante, à but non lucratif, basée à Genève, ayant pour objectif le développement de médicaments sur les maladies tropicales négligées, par exemple la leishmaniose, la maladie du sommeil, la maladie de Chagas ou la helminthiase.
Recherche en sciences socialesLa recherche en sciences sociales correspond à la recherche qui est faite en sciences sociales, en premier lieu dans la sociologie et dans l'histoire, mais aussi en anthropologie culturelle et sociale, en économie, en management, en géographie humaine, en aménagement, en démographie, en science politique, en linguistique, en sémiologie, en théorie des arts, en psychologie sociale et les politiques sociales. Elle fait enfin souvent appel aux mathématiques et à la modélisation mathématique.
Sensory cueA sensory cue is a statistic or signal that can be extracted from the sensory input by a perceiver, that indicates the state of some property of the world that the perceiver is interested in perceiving. A cue is some organization of the data present in the signal which allows for meaningful extrapolation. For example, sensory cues include visual cues, auditory cues, haptic cues, olfactory cues and environmental cues. Sensory cues are a fundamental part of theories of perception, especially theories of appearance (how things look).
