drug use prevention: The word "use" has been suggested to replace the word "abuse." In some contexts, it might be necessary to qualify it to distinguish between different types of use (for example, "harmful use," "hazardous use," "problematic use" or "risky use"). In this case and depending on the context, the reason for the chosen qualifiers should be explained, and the different designations clearly defined. However, some people prefer to avoid qualifying the word "use" as they see this as stigmatizing. 4, record 1, English, - drug%20use%20prevention

prévention de l'usage de drogues; prévention de la consommation de drogues; prévention de l'utilisation de drogues : Les mots «utilisation», «usage» et «consommation» ont été proposés pour remplacer le mot «abus». Dans certains contextes, il peut être nécessaire de les qualifier (par exemple «utilisation nocive», «usage à risque» ou «utilisation problématique») pour distinguer différents types d'utilisation. Dans ce cas, selon le contexte, le choix de qualificatif doit être expliqué et les désignations choisies, clairement définies. Toutefois, certaines personnes préfèrent ne pas qualifier les mots «utilisation», «usage» ou «consommation», ce qu'elles considèrent comme stigmatisant. 2, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9vention%20de%20l%27usage%20de%20drogues

Se debe distinguir entre el consumo y el abuso. A partir del momento en que el uso se haga excesivo o indebido, estaremos hablando de abuso. Sin embargo, la distinción se pierde cuando nos referimos a sustancias cuyo consumo ya representa un uso indebido y es por eso común ver consumo, uso y abuso utilizados como sinónimos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - prevenci%C3%B3n%20del%20consumo%20de%20drogas

At present, electrical reserve capacity is 18-20% of installed capacity compared with 5-7% reserve capacity prior to 1991. Approximately 30% of this installed capacity is in need of major reconstruction or replacement. The availability of reserve capacity to cushion demand and the current lull in the economy create an excellent opportunity to upgrade and/or construct new power generation capacity. 2, record 3, English, - reserve%20capacity

Es necesario hacer notar que mientras un mercado sea más grande e independiente de factores aleatorios, el suministro de energía será más económico y con menor posibilidad de llegar a condiciones riesgosas de funcionamiento, trayendo consigo ventajas como son las de reducir su potencia de reserva y optimizar el despacho de las centrales hidroeléctricas, entre otras. [...] En síntesis, la evaluación se centro en la posibilidad de disminuir la potencia de reserva como consecuencia de :-La diversidad entre demandas máximas.-La disminución de la probabilidad de falla de potencia en las horas de demanda máxima, que se traduce en ahorro de reserva si se pretende mantener probabilidades de falla similares a las existentes antes de la interconexión.
