Study published in 1991 by the Groupe de recherche en développement de l'enfant of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières [UQTR]. This is the final report of a multi-year project funded by Health Canada. The project sought to describe the social and psychological profiles of children, aged 4 to 6, at risk of physical abuse or neglect, and [to] characterize their family milieu (in terms of parental stress factors, their own abuse and attachment histories, and their expectations and perceptions of their children). It also experimented with a projective test that might be used in pre-schools and schools for the early detection of children at risk. 1, record 3, English, - %C3%89valuation%20multidimensionnelle%20des%20enfants%20victimes%20de%20n%C3%A9gligence%20et%20de%20violence

Étude publiée en 1991 par le Groupe de recherche en développement de l'enfant de l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières [UQTR]. Il s’agit du rapport final sur un programme pluriannuel financé par Santé Canada dans lequel on se proposait de dresser le profil socio-psychologique des enfants de 4 à 6 ans particulièrement exposés à la violence physique et à la négligence, et de décrire leur milieu familial(les facteurs de stress auxquels sont soumis les parents, leur propre expérience de mauvais traitements ainsi que leur expérience affective, les attentes qu'ils nourrissent vis-à-vis de leurs enfants et la perception qu'ils ont de ces derniers). On a mis également à l'essai un test projectif susceptible d’être utilisé dans les garderies et les écoles pour le dépistage précoce des risques de mauvais traitements pour l'enfant. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%89valuation%20multidimensionnelle%20des%20enfants%20victimes%20de%20n%C3%A9gligence%20et%20de%20violence

The CANSKATE Program uses a badge system to lead children through eight skill levels. The skills of the first seven badges - Beginner, Elementary, Basic and Novice I through Novice IV levels are assessed on a day-to-day basis. A badge is awarded when a skater learns the skills in that badge. Only the final Proficiency badge is tested by the qualified coach. A series of incentive certificates and special ribbons are also used to encourage and reward skaters. Many skaters complete the entire program in two years. However, ability, interest and attendance may affect the rate of progress. 1, record 4, English, - CANSKATE%20Program

Le PCP comprend un système d’écussons pour faire franchir aux enfants huit niveaux d’habilités. Les habilités des sept premiers écussons : débutant, élémentaire, de base et novice I à novice IV sont évalués au jour le jour. L'écusson est accordé lorsque le patineur maîtrise les habilités. Seul l'écusson final "Test d’aptitudes" fait l'objet d’un test par l'entraîneur qualifié. Une série de certificats de motivation et de rubans spéciaux sert aussi à encourager et à récompenser les patineurs. De nombreux patineurs terminent en deux ans le programme entier. Cependant, selon le degré d’habilité, d’intérêt et d’assiduité, le rythme de progression peut varier. 1, record 4, French, - Programme%20canadien%20de%20patinage

Although one of the primary aims in durum wheat milling is to produce a speck-free product, bran specks in the final product are unavoidable. If wheat is improperly cleaned, foreign material such as earth pellets or insect fragments may also appear as black specks; kernels damaged by severe smudge, mildew, black point or ergot will also cause speckiness. Since a specky product is undesirable, one test for checking the efficiency of milling is the determination of number of specks per unit area of semolina. The definition of "speck" is not clear cut and differentiation must be made between bran specks and other dark or black specks. Insufficient cleaning of wheat, presence of damaged kernels in low grade wheats, and inefficient purification contribute to speckiness. Normally, the number of specks is reported as specks per 100 square centimetres. 2, record 8, English, - specks

Criteria for judging quality. Flour color: A very simple way to determine color differences in different batches of flour is to look at the color of different types of flour under a sheet of glass. This can be done with more than one flour at a time. This method not only facilitates a comparison of the whiteness of different flours but allows for an inspection for impurities. The flour should have a ..."perfectly regular consistency and not contain any specks". This obviously does not pertain to mixed grain or to other than white flours. 3, record 8, English, - specks

Bien que l'absence de piqûres soit une des caractéristiques les plus recherchées des semoules, les piqûres de son sont inévitables dans le produit final. Avec des blés mal nettoyés, divers corps étrangers(terre, fragments d’insectes) peuvent également apparaître comme des piqûres noires, tandis que les grains fortement avariés par la moucheture, le mildiou, la rouille ou l'ergot présenteront également des piqûres. Comme un produit piqué est indésirable, la détermination du nombre de piqûres par unité de surface de semoule constitue un test permettant de vérifier l'efficacité de la mouture. La définition du terme «piqûre» est imprécise et l'on doit établir une distinction entre celles qui sont causées par le son et les autres piqûres noires ou foncées. Un nettoyage insuffisant du blé, la présence de grains endommagés dans les blés de qualité inférieure et un sassage défectueux sont autant de causes possibles de la présence de piqûres. Normalement, leur nombre s’exprime en piqûres par 100 cm carrés. 1, record 8, French, - piq%C3%BBres%20de%20la%20farine
