Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le secteur des services à la personne est en plein essor en France et en Europe. Il offre une grande diversité de métiers d'avenir et les offres d'emplois abondent. Ses acteurs travaillent aujourd'hui avec des publics de tous horizons, et peuvent aussi être amenés à se déplacer à l'étranger : c'est pourquoi l'anglais est devenu un atout certain et une compétence recherchée afin de répondre aux besoins de tous types de publics. Enseignantes dans la filière SAPAT (Services aux personnes et aux territoires), les auteures ont conçu ce livret pour accompagner leur pédagogie ainsi que les démarches professionnelles en anglais, de plus en plus fréquentes dans leurs formations. Ce lexique s'adresse à toutes les personnes en lien avec les différents secteurs des services : apprenants (du CAP au BTS, préparation aux concours et écoles de formation aux métiers des secteurs paramédicaux et sociaux), professionnels, et enseignants/formateurs pour un prolongement de leur pédagogie lorsqu'ils sont conduits à travailler sur du vocabulaire technique et professionnel et lors de la mise en place d'actions en collaboration avec des interlocuteurs anglophones. Il s'agit là d'un outil de formation - en aucun cas d'un manuel scolaire -, qui intervient en complément des cours dans le but d'aider à développer la communication en anglais dans le secteur des services. Le vocabulaire et les expressions les plus récurrents et les plus usités dans le domaine de spécialisation sont regroupés, selon les différents domaines d'intervention, en 10 chapitres : 1. Les publics ; 2. Organismes et professionnels ; 3. Les besoins ; 4. Le confort corporel de la personne ; 5. Le confort matériel ; 6. La nutrition ; 7. La santé ; 8. La vie quotidienne ; 9. Le cadre d'intervention ; 10. Milieu rural et territoire. Le contenu n'est pas exhaustif, tant ce secteur est vaste. Afin de faciliter la recherche de termes précis dans l'une ou l'autre langue, sont proposés en fin de lexique un index alphabétique français et un index alphabétique anglais. Ce lexique vous accompagnera dans vos études, dans votre formation professionnelle, dans vos déplacements à l'étranger (voyages, séjours, stages), et vous aidera à communiquer plus facilement en anglais dans votre secteur professionnel.

Download or read book International Migration in Europe written by James Raymer and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present there is no unified treatment, drawing together models to allow a consistent and reliable set of migration flows, across countries. This text seeks to do exactly that, potentially improving policies, planning and understanding about migration processes worldwide, via the presentation of migration estimation and modeling techniques. These modeling techniques are explored from both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives. The vital concepts such as missing data and collection methods (and their possible harmonization) are discussed in depth, and there are whole chapters dedicated to both modeling asylum flows and forecasts about the future of international migration.

Download or read book Social Housing in Europe written by Kathleen Scanlon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All countries aim to improve housing conditions for their citizens but many have been forced by the financial crisis to reduce government expenditure. Social housing is at the crux of this tension. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics want to know how other systems work and are looking for something written in clear English, where there is a depth of understanding of the literature in other languages and direct contributions from country experts across the continent. Social Housing in Europe combines a comparative overview of European social housing written by scholars with in-depth chapters written by international housing experts. The countries covered include Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands and Sweden, with a further chapter devoted to CEE countries other than Hungary. The book provides an up-to-date international comparison of social housing policy and practice. It offers an analysis of how the social housing system currently works in each country, supported by relevant statistics. It identifies European trends in the sector, and opportunities for innovation and improvement. These country-specific chapters are accompanied by topical thematic chapters dealing with subjects such as the role of social housing in urban regeneration, the privatisation of social housing, financing models, and the impact of European Union state aid regulations on the definitions and financing of social housing.

Download or read book In Search of the State written by Gabriella Körling and published by Uppsala Universitet. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éditeur: The study explores public health and education provision in Niamey, the capital of Niger, by merging the ethnographic study of public services with an anthropological analysis of the state and of local politics. Based on anthropological fieldwork carried out in a group of neighbourhoods in the periphery of Niamey, the study highlights the political dimensions of public service provision in a local arena where international development interventions and national plans meet local realities and where a wide range of actors and institutions, discourses, meanings, and practices are mobilized in the offering of and the regulation of access to public services. It focuses on the political, economic, and socio-cultural aspects of public service provision, too often hidden behind contemporary buzzwords of development such as community participation and decentralization that dominate global debates about education and healthcare in developing countries. The study brings forth the strategies of urban residents in dealing with daily challenges in the consolidation of service provision and in education and health-seeking trajectories. It shows that access to a satisfactory treatment of illness or a successful school career is premised on the ability to navigate on the medical and education markets, which are made up of a plurality of providers and of official and unofficial costs and transactions. Further, these public services engage different actors such as community committees, traditional chiefs, local associations, the municipality and elected municipal councillors, emergent leaders, NGOs, and international development aid. The study demonstrates that despite the uncertainty of state support in health and education provision and a widespread dissatisfaction with these public services, the image of the state as service provider is reproduced on a day by day basis through local efforts at securing public services.

Download or read book City Politics written by Annika M. Hinze and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised for the clarity of its writing, careful research, and distinctive theme – that urban politics in the United States has evolved as a dynamic interaction between governmental power, private actors, and a politics of identity – City Politics remains a classic study of urban politics. Its enduring appeal lies in its persuasive explanation, careful attention to historical detail, and accessible and elegant way of teaching the complexity and breadth of urban and regional politics which unfold at the intersection of spatial, cultural, economic, and policy dynamics. Now in a thoroughly revised tenth edition, this comprehensive resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as well-established researchers in the discipline, retains the effective structure of past editions while offering important updates, including: All-new sections on immigration, the Black Lives Matter Movement, the downtown condo boom, and the impact of the sharing economy on urban neighborhoods (especially the rise of Airbnb). Individual chapters introducing students to pressing urban issues such as gentrification, sustainability, metropolitanization, urban crises, the creative class, shrinking cities, racial politics, and suburbanization. The most recent census data integrated throughout to provide current figures for analysis, discussion, and a more nuanced understanding of current trends. Taught on its own, or supplemented with the optional reader American Urban Politics in a Global Age for more advanced readers, City Politics remains the definitive text on urban politics – and how they have evolved in the US over time – for a new generation of students and researchers.

Download or read book Traditional Forest Related Knowledge written by John A. Parrotta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring a topic of vital and ongoing importance, Traditional Forest Knowledge examines the history, current status and trends in the development and application of traditional forest knowledge by local and indigenous communities worldwide. It considers the interplay between traditional beliefs and practices and formal forest science and interrogates the often uneasy relationship between these different knowledge systems. The contents also highlight efforts to conserve and promote traditional forest management practices that balance the environmental, economic and social objectives of forest management. It places these efforts in the context of recent trends towards the devolution of forest management authority in many parts of the world. The book includes regional chapters covering North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Australia-Pacific region. As well as relating the general factors mentioned above to these specific areas, these chapters cover issues of special regional significance, such as the importance of traditional knowledge and practices for food security, economic development and cultural identity. Other chapters examine topics ranging from key policy issues to the significant programs of regional and international organisations, and from research ethics and best practices for scientific study of traditional knowledge to the adaptation of traditional forest knowledge to climate change and globalisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des universitaires canadiens et français apportent dans l'ouvrage un regard pluriel et pluridisciplinaire sur les préférences politiques s’exprimant dans le creuset québécois. Cette “clarification par contraste”, selon la formule de Charles Taylor, ressort d’une réflexion sur les références culturelles. Ciment d’une communauté connaissant une compétition entre organisations sociales, cultuelles et culturelles, ces valeurs de référence sont à la fois des analyseurs de la forme québéco-canadienne de la modernisation de la puissance publique, et des révélateurs critiques d’une société qui s’interroge sur son identité, sa créativité collective et la lutte pour la reconnaissance dont elle a été le lieu historique. “Les sociétés changent, les valeurs aussi...”

Download or read book Cultures of Natural History written by Nicholas Jardine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-26 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This copiously illustrated volume is the first systematic general work to do justice to the fruits of recent scholarship in the history of natural history. Public interest in this lively field has been stimulated by environmental concerns and through links with the histories of art, collecting and gardening. The centrality of the development of natural history for other branches of history - medical, colonial, gender, economic, ecological - is increasingly recognized. Twenty-four specially commissioned essays cover the period from the sixteenth century, when the first institutions of natural history were created, to its late nineteenth-century transformation by practitioners of the new biological sciences. An introduction discusses novel approaches that have made this a major focus for research in cultural history. The essays, which include suggestions for further reading, offer a coherent and accessible overview of a fascinating subject. An epilogue highlights the relevance of this wide-ranging survey for current debates on museum practice, the display of ecological diversity and concerns about the environment.

Download or read book Homo Geographicus written by Robert David Sack and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This brilliant book, reflecting an original mind and years of preparatory research, is a major work of contemporary geographical scholarship. It is perhaps the most important theoretical work in human geography of the past thirty years. Homo Geographicus provides a powerful intellectual broadside on behalf of reason as a faculty of mind that all humans share. This will be a controversial book that will stimulate much-needed debate about geographical agency, spatiality, and postmodernist claims. An exemplary book."--John Agnew, Syracuse University "Robert Sack is one of the most original theoreticians in geography today. In Homo Geographicus he continues his project of identifying the geographical sources of social life, and takes an important step toward giving the geographic perspective an essential and central role in modern social theory."--J. Nicholas Entrikin, University of California at Los Angeles "Written in straightforward and unpretentious language, Homo Geographicus refocuses thinking about the nature of the geographic and provides a framework for why and how the various domains of study within the discipline of geography are intimately linked."--Billie Lee Turner II, George Perkins Marsh Institute, Clark University In Homo Geographicus Sack offers nothing less than a philosophy and theory of geography. He maps out how nature, culture, self, and such geographical factors as space, place, home, and world fit together, enabling us to see more clearly how we transform the world and how we are affected by that transformation. He also provides possible moral directions for us to pursue so that we can be more responsible for our actions and make better our places, our home, and the earth itself.

Download or read book The Informational City written by Manuel Castells and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1992-04-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cities and the regions of the world are being transformed under the combined impact of a restructuring of the capitalist system and a technological revolution. This is the thesis of this book, now in paperback. Castells not only brings together an impressive array of evidence to support it but puts forward a new body of theory to explain it. He analyzes the interaction between information technology, economic restructuring and socio-spatial change through the empirical observation of contemporary national, urban and regional processes in the capitalist world, with emphasis on the United States. The author summarizes a very wide range of evidence of urban and regional development, and isolates the causes and consequences of the processes and trends that may be observed.
