HISTORICAL APPROACH [10 records]

Record 1 2024-10-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tourism (General)
  • Indigenous Arts and Culture
CONT

By promoting Indigenous tourism, [the] actions seek to create opportunities for Indigenous communities to share their stories and cultural heritage with a broader audience, while also generating economic benefits. This approach helps to address historical injustices by providing a platform for Indigenous voices and perspectives, while simultaneously encouraging mutual respect and understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Indigenous tourism also plays a crucial role in preserving and revitalizing traditional practices, languages, and art forms, contributing to cultural continuity and strengthening community pride.

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Behaviour

CONT

Behavioural ecology is an evolutionary approach to the study of animal behaviour; the rationale being that behaviour evolves through natural selection to increase fitness within given ecological, social and historical constraints.

Key term(s)
  • behavioral ecology

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
  • Écologie (Généralités)
DEF

Étude scientifique du comportement animal, principalement en milieu naturel, notamment dans une perspective évolutionniste.

Key term(s)

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Comportamiento animal
  • Ecología (Generalidades)
CONT

La ecología del comportamiento es el estudio del comportamiento animal desde un punto de vista evolutivo, es decir, cómo las estrategias comportamentales adoptadas por los animales constituyen adaptaciones a su ambiente particular, o lo que es lo mismo, cómo la conducta afecta, influye o determina la aptitud de los animales.

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO

  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

A lognormal error is usually assumed in the traditional stock–recruitment(SR) analysis.... a positive bias results when [a] SR model with [a] lognormal error is used for fish recruitment prediction. Not only is this bias exponentially dependent on the structure of the model' s residual variance and the historical SR data, it is also dependent on the specific value of spawner biomass used.... a bias correction that is asymptotically unbiased with a finite-sample biasthat is practically zero [is then derived]. Data from two Pacific salmon populations, southeast Alaska pink salmon... and Chilko Lake sockeye salmon... are used to demonstrate this approach. The results show that the relative bias is about 10% for a spawning biomass within the historical range and that the bias is substantial outside that data range. However, with the proposed bias correction, the bias is negligible both within(<0. 1%) and outside of(<0. 3%) the data range.

Subject field(s)
  • Public Sector Budgeting
  • Federal Administration
DEF

... a one-time intensive overall review of on-going activities of a department or agency with the objective of freeing up resources assigned to low priority activities in order to reallocate resources to new demands.

OBS

The concept of the A-base review borrows from the zero base budgeting approach in that historical patterns of resource allocation are not in themselves justification for continuing such allocations.

OBS

A-base review: designation officially approved by the Management Committee for the BCF (budgetary, accounting and finance) Glossary.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Budget des collectivités publiques
  • Administration fédérale
CONT

Les services votés constituent la part des dépenses de l'État qui est reconduite d'année en année [...] Le Gouvernement (de la France) a demandé à la Cour des comptes d'entreprendre une révision des services votés des ministères afin de diminuer la continuité de fait des dépenses d'un budget à l'autre. En outre, chaque ministère a été invité à procéder lui-même à une révision pour permettre ce qu'on a appelé le redéploiement interne des crédits.

OBS

Redéploiement : Action par laquelle un ministère abandonne certaines actions pour être financièrement en mesure d'en promouvoir de plus utiles d'un même montant.

OBS

révision des services votés : désignation uniformisée par le Comité de gestion du Lexique BCF (budgétaire, comptable et financier).

Record 6 2009-08-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Seismic Prospecting
  • Geological Prospecting
  • Oil and Natural Gas Extraction
CONT

Three-dimensional(3D) seismic surveys utilise 2D grids of seismic sources and receivers deployed on the ground surface. The seismic response of the ground is recorded as a time series corresponding to each source-receiver pair, and the wave propagation time becomes the third dimension of the data set.... If a 3D seismic survey is repeated at several time intervals, this historical time(as opposed to the wave propagation time) becomes a fourth dimension, hence the name 4D or time-lapse seismic. The 4D approach allows a detailed description of the evolution of the reservoir, but the overall cost of the survey escalates rapidly by repeating conventional 3D surveys.

PHR

Time-lapse seismic data, experiment, measurement, modeling, response, result, survey, test.

Key term(s)
  • time lapse seismic

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prospection sismique
  • Prospection géologique
  • Extraction du pétrole et du gaz naturel
CONT

Afin d'obtenir une image plus précise et plus fiable du sous-sol, on emploie la technique de la sismique 3D [...] Elle permet même souvent de repérer directement les hydrocarbures dans les couches géologiques. Les récepteurs sont placés en nappes afin de construire une image du sous-sol en volume (en trois dimensions). La technique de la sismique 4D va plus loin encore, en faisant intervenir la quatrième dimension : le temps. Sur un gisement en production, on effectue plusieurs enregistrements successifs de sismique 3D, à intervalles de temps réguliers. La comparaison des enregistrements permet ensuite de suivre l'évolution du gisement pendant sa production.

Subject field(s)
  • Political Systems
  • National Policies
CONT

The following analysis examines the nature of the contemporary extreme right in Europe. It is argued that in most academic reviews the approach of the phenomenon has been based on historical, socio-economic, political and ideologico-cultural variables. Accordingly, the extreme right is seen as a) the revival of the fascist era; b) the by-product of post-industrial changes; c) protest politics and d) a xenophobic discourse.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Régimes politiques
  • Politiques nationales
DEF

Ensemble de mouvements et de partis politiques qui défendent des valeurs et des idées classées à droite, dans des domaines économique et religieux, s'appuyant sur un nationalisme affirmé, un traditionalisme poussé à l'extrême ou des idéologies fascistes, et en leur donnant une formulation radicale, notamment dans l'hostilité aux tendances politiques socialistes ou libérales de la société.
