The three expressions "arsenic sulfide," "arsenic monosulfide" and "arsenic disulfide" are often given as synonyms but are different compounds. "Arsenic sulfide," to which corresponds the formula AsS, is a generic: it can designate either the disulfide (AsS2) or the monosulfide. The French equivalents are, in order, "sulfure d'arsenic," "monosulfure d'arsenic" (not used) and "disulfure d'arsenic." These three sulfides represent the three forms under which the "red arsenic" can be found, which is why the three expressions are given as synonyms in the dictionaries. 3, record 13, English, - arsenic%20sulfide

The acronym was invented by Frederick Herzberg for his best-selling article "How do you motivate employees?" in which he explains his motivation-hygiene theory. A KITA is a method used by managers to motivate their employees. However, according to the author, a KITA does not lead to motivation but merely to movement, as the only person who is motivated is the manager administering the kick and not the employee at the receiving end. 2, record 17, English, - KITA

KITA : acronyme inventé par Frederick Herzberg pour son célèbre article «À la recherche des motivations perdues» dans lequel il expose sa théorie fondée sur l'opposition santé morale-motivation. Le CPF est une méthode utilisée par un gestionnaire pour amener un employé à faire ce que l'on attend de lui. Selon l'auteur un CPF ne sert pas à motiver mais à faire bouger, car c'est seulement celui qui donne le coup qui est motivé, celui qui le reçoit se contentant de bouger. 2, record 17, French, - CPF
