Some Ideas about the Use of System Approach for Technology Development — A Case Study

The idea to use a system approach to understand the problematic of the development of the technology seems seductive. The first part of the paper presents the classical approach and shows its limitations, mainly those due to the nature of the problem and its numerous dimensions.This hard approach has to be modified to exceed these limitations and to consider the human characteristic of the problem and its environment, a soft approach is then described.The second part is a schematic analysis of the problem of technology development and Morocco is selected as a case study.This analysis shows the exogeneous characteristic of the technology cycle in this country.

Scientific Advance in Acupuncture

In this paper we present scientific advance in acupuncture based on electrical, neurophysiological, biochemical and therapeutic studies made inside and outside China since the early fifties. New modalities other than traditional needling techniques notably developed in Japan, France and Germany are described. For future prospects, efforts by making use of systems approach, field-body interaction, self-defense self-strategy and circadian rhythm are likely to produce great fruition in medicine. Possibilities of making advances in "three P's" medicine (preventive medicine, precision medicine and people medicine) by acupuncture are discussed.
