  • Intergovernmental Bodies and Committees
  • Mental health and hygiene
  • Indigenous Sociology
OBS

Federal, provincial, and territorial mental wellness programs and services seek to address the indicators that challenge wellness in many First Nations communities; however, there are gaps in services. Further, programs and services are not always delivered in a culturally safe manner. As a result, First Nations communities and leadership have been calling for the development of a coordinated, comprehensive approach to mental health and addictions programming. In response, the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch(FNIHB), the Assembly of First Nations(AFN), and Indigenous mental health leaders from various First Nations nongovernment organizations jointly developed the First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum Framework...

OBS

Les programmes et les services de mieux-être mental provinciaux, territoriaux et fédéraux visent à interpréter les indicateurs qui nuisent au mieux-être dans de nombreuses communautés des Premières Nations, mais les services comportent des lacunes. En outre, ces programmes et services ne sont pas toujours offerts conformément au principe de la sécurité culturelle. C'est pourquoi les communautés et les dirigeants des Premières Nations ont demandé l'élaboration d'une approche coordonnée et exhaustive en matière de programmes de santé mentale et de lutte contre les toxicomanies. Afin de répondre à cette demande, la Direction générale de la santé des Premières Nations et des Inuits (DGSPNI), l'Assemblée des Premières Nations (APN) et les leaders autochtones du domaine de la santé mentale de diverses organisations non gouvernementales des Premières Nations ont procédé conjointement à l'élaboration du Cadre du continuum du mieux-être mental des Premières Nations [...]

PMA-2[, ] the second unit was temporarily attached to Unity before launch and provides the initial docking interface for Shuttle missions with ISS [International Space Station]. One end is attached to Unity by a Passive Common Berthing Mechanism, while the other end uses an Androgynous Peripheral Attach System to connect with the Shuttle external airlock and docking system. This unit has a hatch and an 8-inch view port. Attached to the exterior of PMA-2 are MDM [Multiplexer/Demultiplexer] computers, providing early command and control of the Unity node. This allows the Shuttle crew to control the Shuttle-end PMA-2 docking mechanism from the orbiter's aft flight deck. PMA-2 is planned for relocation on a later ISS assembly mission, and further details on activities relating to this unit will be updated when this occurs.

It is a common practice to open a Convention for signature by certain States until a certain date after the date of the formal session of signature. Generally, this period does not exceed nine months. The object is to obtain as many parties to the Convention as possible, but inasmuch as new signatories can only be allowed with the consent of the original signatories, a special clause to this effect must be inserted in the Convention. A current practice is to open a Convention for signature to all members of the United Nations and the specialised agencies, to all parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, and to any other State invited by the General Assembly. During the period mentioned, each State may sign at any time, but after the expiration of the period no further signatures are allowed and a non-signatory State desiring to become party must accede or adhere to the Convention but cannot ratify, inasmuch as it has not signed the instrument.

Uniting of two or more countries or territories under a common government. The European Economic Community, for example, was conceived by its original advocates after the second world war as a basis for political union that would prevent further wars in Europe, though it was set up under the Treaty of Rome 1957 as a Common Market that could lead to political union, if the member-states wished. An area in which the member-states can be said to have made moves towards political union has been their work on a common foreign policy. Progress towards political union in the EEC raises questions of the relationship with the USA and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries and with the Communist Countries. The status of the European Parliament or Assembly also becomes crucial.

Adaptive Packet Assembly means that the size of the packets in which data is sent between modems is altered according to the quality of the physical link. The higher the line quality, the larger the packets. Data Phase Optimization means that repetitive control information is removed from the data stream to make packets more efficient. Both techniques when combined with Class 3, yield a protocol efficiency of about 120 percent.
