Ottawa-Carleton Health Department, Program Training and Consultation Centre. This self-help program for pregnant Francophone women focuses on the various stages of readiness to quit smoking and the specific concerns of expectant mothers. The program consists of five booklets that were developed through pilot testing in the francophone community. Each of the five booklets addresses a different stage of readiness to quit from not thinking about quitting all the way to maintaining the decision to stay an ex-smoker. A brief quiz helps the pregnant smoker to determine her stage of readiness and directs her to the appropriate booklet. The length of the program is therefore variable. 1, record 1, English, - Une%20grossesse%20sans%20tabac

Service de santé d’Ottawa-Carleton, Centre de consultation et de formation. Ce programme d’entraide pour les femmes enceintes francophones met l'accent sur les diverses étapes de la prise de décision de renoncer au tabagisme et sur les préoccupations particulières des femmes enceintes. Le programme comporte cinq livrets qui ont été élaborés sur la base d’essais menés au sein de la communauté francophone. Chacun des cinq livrets traite d’une étape différente de la prise de décision, soit à partir du moment où la participante n’ envisage pas encore à cesser de fumer jusqu'au maintien de sa décision de demeurer non-fumeuse. Un bref questionnaire aide la fumeuse enceinte à déterminer à quelle étape elle se trouve et la dirige vers le livret qui lui convient. La durée du programme est donc variable. 1, record 1, French, - Une%20grossesse%20sans%20tabac

Duty of vigilance over activities of persons granted asylum. In principle there would not appear to be any difference between persons who are granted asylum and others resident in its territory in respect of a government's obligation in this regard, but this duty assumes special importance in respect of persons who are granted asylum because in practice it appears that political refugees, especially those who have been dispossessed of power in their own countries, may attempt from a neighbouring state to organise subversive and other types of hostile acts or activities against the government which has ousted them. 1, record 4, English, - person%20granted%20asylum

L’individu auquel l’asile a été accordé devient un asilé. Ce terme est à vrai dire le seul qui possède un sens et un contenu juridiques, étant donné que c’est l’octroi de l’asile qui établie un lien juridique entre la personne qui en bénéficie et celui qui l’accorde. Dans le sens du Droit international l’asilé est une personne qui bénéficie d’une des espèces de l’asile international. Le terme asilé n’est cependant pas d’usage courant et il y a peu de chances qu’il soit généralement accepté. Dans la langue courante le terme employé pour décrire la situation de l’asilé est celui de réfugié. 1, record 4, French, - asil%C3%A9

La terminologie est assez variable. Dans les pays de langue espagnole le terme asilé semble être utilisé plus fréquemment pour décrire la personne qui a trouvé asile dans une mission diplomatique. Cependant la Convention de Caracas(1954) sur l'asile territorial parle "d’exilés, asilés et réfugiés politiques" sans spécifier la différence entre ces catégories. En France, dans la langue officielle, le qualificatif asilé semble être réservé aux personnes qui ont obtenu l'asile sur le territoire de la France par une décision du gouvernement. 1, record 4, French, - asil%C3%A9
