Emotional events often attain a privileged status in memory. Cognitive neuroscientists have begun to elucidate the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying emotional retention advantages in the human brain. The amygdala is a brain structure that directly mediates aspects of emotional learning and facilitates memory operations in other regions, including the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. 2, record 2, English, - emotional%20memory

Dans quelle mesure les souvenirs émotionnels sont plutôt explicites ou plutôt implicites est une question qui n’ est pas encore complètement clarifiée. En fait, il semble que les deux cas de figure soient valables. Il est certain que les gens peuvent réagir à certains stimulus qu'ils peuvent identifier par une réaction de peur, mais nous avons également vu qu'ils peuvent être effrayés par des situations dont ils ne semblent pas avoir de souvenir particulier. En effet, il existe une pathologie assez commune qui se caractérise par des accès de panique, un type de trouble qui fait que les personnes qui en sont atteintes présentent une anxiété marquée sans être capables d’en identifier la cause. C'est pour cette raison que nous considérons la mémoire émotionnelle comme une forme spéciale de mémoire qui possède également un substrat anatomique unique, à savoir l'amygdale [...] 2, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9moire%20%C3%A9motionnelle

On behalf of the federal government and 15 partner departments, the Public Health Agency of Canada coordinates the Family Violence Initiative (FVI). With the long-term goal of reducing the occurrence of family violence in Canada. The FVI promotes public awareness of the risk factors of family violence and the need for public involvement in responding to it; strengthens the criminal justice, housing, and health systems to respond; and supports data collection, research and evaluation efforts to identify effective interventions. This initiative marks a new stage in federal efforts to reduce family violence. The issue of family violence has been integrated into ongoing programming in many government departments. We have learned that the best way to address family violence is to support a common vision and a coordinated approach. 2, record 4, English, - Family%20Violence%20Initiative

Au nom du gouvernement fédéral et des quinze ministères partenaires, l'Agence de santé publique du Canada coordonne l'initiative de lutte contre la violence familiale(ILVF). Avec l'objectif à long terme de réduire la fréquence de la violence familiale au Canada. L'Initiative vise à sensibiliser le public aux facteurs de risque de violence familiale et à la nécessité de l'engagement du public contre la violence; elle renforce le système de justice criminelle et les réseaux de santé et d’hébergement des victimes; elle appuie les efforts de collecte de données, de recherche et d’évaluation visant à déterminer les interventions efficaces. Cette initiative marque une nouvelle étape dans les efforts du gouvernement fédéral pour réduire la violence familiale. Cette question a été intégrée dans des programmes permanents de nombreux ministères fédéraux.

On-Top Formers. A feature common to all the formers discussed thus far is that the sheet plies are picked up and carried on the underside of the felt. This transfer method restricts operating speeds and sheet dryness levels. Another problem is that the sheet must be righted before it enters the press section; the usual procedure is to run the forming section in the opposite direction to the rest of the machine, and turn the felt over with a long carryback section. Less often, the delicate sheet is transferred from one felt to another entering the press section. The remaining formers to be discussed place the sheet on top of the felt or fabric. This approach eliminates the speed and dewatering limitations. But, housekeeping and maintenance aspects must be stressed since the sheet is more vulnerable to drips and spills. 1, record 10, English, - on%2Dtop%20former

Les formeurs superposés. Les formeurs dont il a jusqu'ici été question ont pour caractéristique commune que les différentes couches de la feuille sont levées et transportées sous un feutre. La méthode de transfert qui prévaut alors limite la vitesse des machines et la siccité des feuilles. Un autre problème rencontré est qu'il faut aligner la feuille avant qu'elle n’ entre dans la section des presses; la technique couramment utilisée consiste à installer la section de formation de sorte que le sens du trajet de la feuille y soit à l'opposé du reste de la machine et de faire tourner le feutre autour d’une longue section de renvoi. Plus rarement, la feuille, qui est fragile, est transférée du feutre à un autre feutre à l'entrée des presses. Pour ce qui est des formeurs dont il sera ici question, la feuille est placée sur le dessus d’un feutre ou d’une toile synthétique. Cette façon de procéder permet d’éliminer les limites de vitesse et d’extraction de l'eau. Mais elle impose davantage de travail de surveillance et de maintenance parce que la feuille est alors plus vulnérable aux ruissellements ou projections d’eau. 1, record 10, French, - formeur%20superpos%C3%A9
