A brain-child of UNDP, the TOKTEN programme was initiated in 1977 to compensate for the ill effects of the "brain drain" syndrome through the concept of bringing back talents to their home country. Throughout its existence, TOKTEN has proven to be a cost-effective and innovative modality to transfer knowledge to over 30 developing countries in a wide spectrum of fields. TOKTEN funds the services of expatriate national experts for well prepared short-term assignments, usually one to three months, with selected host institutions in the government, academic and research institutions, private sector and non-governmental organisations in developing countries. The global TOKTEN programme is under the overrall management of the United Nations Volunteers based in Bonn, Germany. 2, record 3, English, - Transfer%20of%20Knowledge%20through%20Expatriate%20Nationals

La traduction du sigle anglais «TOKTEN» se lit comme suit : «Transfert des connaissances par l'intermédiaire des expatriés nationaux». Dans ce cadre, les professionnels expatriés qualifiés des pays en développement retournent dans leur pays d'origine pour des missions de courte durée afin de partager les connaissances qu'ils ont acquises à l'étranger. Les consultants TOKTEN effectuent des missions qui seraient autrement confiées à des experts internationaux. Les consultants TOKTEN se portent volontaires, et ils sont souvent motivés par le désir de prendre part aux développement de leur pays d'origine. 1, record 3, French, - Transfert%20des%20connaissances%20par%20l%27interm%C3%A9diaire%20des%20expatri%C3%A9s%20nationaux

TOKTEN, por sus siglas en inglés, significa Transferencia de Conocimiento a través de la Comunidad de Expatriados. En este marco, expatriados calificados de países en vías de desarrollo regresan a su país de origen por cortas estadías para compartir o impartir las competencias que hayan obtenido durante su residencia en países desarrollados. Los consultores de TOKTEN realizan trabajos que de otro modo serían efectuados por consultores internacionales; y ofrecen sus servicios como voluntarios, generalmente motivados por un sincero interés en colaborar con el desarrollo de su país de origen. 1, record 3, Spanish, - Transferencia%20de%20Conocimiento%20a%20trav%C3%A9s%20de%20la%20Comunidad%20de%20Expatriados

Ecological Concepts. Many assessments have ignored several principles of ecological theory such as nutrient cycling, energy flow, primary productivity, eutrophication, succession, assimilative capacity, and a host of others. Studies are not normally undertaken to elucidate these concepts, nor do they serve as predictive frameworks for assessments. A notable exception is the Peace-Athabasca Delta Project which incorporated a two-year research programme aimed at predicting effects on faunal populations through knowledge of the successional patterns of vegetation communities following a lowering of surface and ground water levels. Another example is the South Davis Strait Project in which an attempt was made to understand the variability of the annual phytoplankton bloom and its importance in sustaining secondary productivity throughout the remainder of the year. 1, record 10, English, - predictive%20framework

Concepts écologiques. Nombre d'évaluations ignorent plusieurs principes de la théorie écologique tels que le cycle des substances nutritives, le flux énergétique, la productivité primaire, l'eutrophisation, la succession, la capacité d'assimilation, etc. Le plus souvent, les études n'ont pas pour but d'élucider ces concepts ou de servir de cadre prévisionnel aux évaluations. Le projet du delta des rivières de la Paix et Athabasca constitue en ce sens une exception remarquable; il comportait un programme de recherche de deux ans dans le but de prévoir les effets sur la faune, au moyen de la connaissance de la succession des communautés végétales suite à un abaissement du niveau des eaux de surface et des eaux souterraines. Un autre exemple nous est fourni par le projet de forage dans la partie méridionale du détroit de Davis où l'on a tenté de comprendre la variabilité de la poussée phytoplanctonique annuelle et son importance dans le maintien de la productivité secondaire pendant tout le reste de l'année. 1, record 10, French, - cadre%20pr%C3%A9visionnel
