Subject field(s)
  • Operating Systems (Software)
  • Financial and Budgetary Management
  • Remuneration (Personnel Management)
CONT

Compensation is one of the methods on which an organization can rely in order to retain its most valuable assets and attract new employees to its workforce. Accordingly, in the ICT [information and communications technologies] industry it is imperative to have an effective compensation management system, particularly since this industry's workforce is highly mobile and the associated costs normally represent the highest budget expense.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes d'exploitation (Logiciels)
  • Gestion budgétaire et financière
  • Rémunération (Gestion du personnel)
CONT

La rémunération est l'un des moyens qu'une organisation possède pour retenir ses meilleurs éléments et attirer de nouveaux candidats à joindre ses effectifs. Avoir un système de gestion de la rémunération efficace est donc d'une grande importance dans le secteur des TIC [technologies de l'information et des communications], particulièrement si l'on considère que la main-d'œuvre est très mobile et que le coût qui y est associé représente habituellement le compte budgétaire le plus important.

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

The study for the Commission for Environmental Cooperation said gene transfers could damage Mexico’s vast storehouse of native corn, whose wild ancestral genes might one day be needed to help commercial crops overcome diseases or adverse conditions.

CONT

Mexico has been cultivating indigenous corn, a New World grain, for over 5500 years. As a result, Oaxaca contains the greatest diversity of genetic varieties of corn in the world. It is imperative that this diversity be preserved. Diversification maintains the vigor of a species and allows botanists to hybridize seeds in order to create newer varieties.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

«Les paysans dans l'Oaxaca sont bouleversés par cette affaire» [...] C'est dans cette région du sud du Mexique que l'on suspecte une contamination transgénique du maïs indigène. Selon le directeur de l'Institut national d'écologie de Mexico, les cultivateurs ont sans doute replanté le grain qui leur était parvenu comme ils le font couramment : «Les paysans font ce qu'on fait depuis 6000 ans : l'agriculture est basée sur la sélection humaine, on essaye les différentes semences et on regarde les qualités de ce que l'on obtient».
