The Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority(APSEA) is an interprovincial cooperative agency established in 1975 by joint agreement among the Ministers of Education of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. The agreement provided for the creation of the Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority and authorized it to provide educational services, programs, and opportunities for persons from birth to 21 years of age with low incidence sensory impairments. This includes children and youth who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired and who are residence of Atlantic Canada. The APSEA Agreement is the only one of its kind in Canada, and such, may serve as a model for service delivery at a regional level. Operational costs are shared among the four provinces.

Record 6 2003-10-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Education Theory and Methods
CONT

The f-book is cheaper than any of its rivals in publishing. It eradicates the costs of production. Whereas the printing industry consumes immense amounts of paper every year, thereby endangering the biosphere of the Earth, Internet publishers only need a hard disk connected to the Web. Once a printed book is out on the market, all its mistakes remain in the work forever. Internet publications can continuously be updated. Online culture is available at every terminal around the globe : no customer should care about shipping costs.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
  • Internet et télématique
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
CONT

La diffusion des logiciels a suscité l'apparition des graticiels. L'apparition, à l'automne 2000, des premiers sites éditoriaux marchands et des nouveaux livres électroniques, les e-books, a presque aussitôt fait surgir la notion d'un f-book (pour Free-Book), d'un livre électronique gratuit, libre de tout droit. Compte tenu de l'évolution prévisible du fonctionnement du réseau Internet, l'étude d'un statut analogue pour l'édition savante en ligne mériterait d'être explorée.

Record 7 2001-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Conditions and Forecasting
DEF

Attitudes or beliefs about future economic activity.

OBS

While expectations are hard to measure, they can have a significant impact on future trends. Consumers who expect interest rates to rise may delay the purchase of homes or major consumer products, thus slowing down business activity. Wage-earners who expect inflation to continue or to get worse may demand even bigger wage increases in collective bargaining, thus adding to inflation pressures. Businesspeople who are gloomy about future profits because they expect costs to rise sharply or because they see few signs of future market growth will delay investment plans, thus slowing down economic growth. Economists now use business-and consumer-confidence surveys to help measure changes in expectations.

OBS

Term usually used in the plural.

Key term(s)
  • expectation

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions et conjonctures économiques
DEF

Hypothèses, plus ou moins optimistes ou pessimistes quant à l'avenir, sur lesquelles les agents économiques fondent leurs prévisions en vue d'une décision.

OBS

Terme habituellement utilisé au pluriel.

Key term(s)
  • anticipation

Record 8 1980-06-30

English

Subject field(s)

OBS

With regard to capacity expansion, it is fairly easy to determine the costs and facilities and equipment but hard to forecast sales and capacity utilization.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Commercialisation
OBS

En ce qui concerne une augmentation de capacité, par exemple, il est relativement aisé de déterminer le coût de l'outillage et de l'équipement, mais il est délicat de prévoir le niveau des ventes, et donc l'utilisation des capacités.
