Concentration basically refers to the competency of sustained focussed attention. No specific foolproof system can be designed for the development of the mental quality like Concentration. What we know about it is much less than what we still have to know. However, certain basic principles can be suggested for making a plan of action for the development of concentration. 1. Identify the learning style of the learner. 2. Develop a learner specific plan based on his/her learning style. 3. Choose an activity of one's own interest pertaining to the learning style of the learner.

Si vous embauchiez un élève-avocat, quels seraient vos critères pour le choisir; quel serait son profil ? J'ai beaucoup de mal à embaucher. J'hésite. Ce qui paraît indispensable, c'est l'esprit de synthèse, la clarté dans la synthèse. Cela paraît être une qualité intellectuelle, une qualité générale pour l'avocat conseil ou l'avocat plaidant. Il existe toujours des problèmes où il faut réussir à concentrer un certain nombre de points. Si à la fois il a l'esprit de synthèse et qu'il est travailleur, il y a de bons éléments.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Security
CONT

Reduction of lead emissions and point of impingement readings has not ended local concerns, but rather, focussed attention on questions about cumulative loadings, the existence of any hazard threshold level, and the precise degree and nature of risks relative to a complex of variables(age, level of exposure, inhalation versus ingestion, etc.).

OBS

hazard threshold level: this term seems redundant to us.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Santé et sécurité au travail

CONT

Seuil de danger de dommage auditif pour une exposition à certains bruits de 8 heures/jour : 85 décibels.

OBS

seuil de danger : équivalent confirmé par M. Claude Gauthier, du ministère de l'Énergie, Mines et Ressources du Canada.

OBS

L'expression anglaise «hazard threshold level» nous paraît redondante; il n'est pas essentiel de préciser «niveau à partir duquel est atteint un seuil de danger».
