Language Politics and Language Survival: Yiddish among the haredim in post-war Britain outlines the history and development of the Yiddish language as it is used among Ultra-Orthodox Jews in contemporary Britain. The language policies of these communities are analysed and placed within the greater socio-historical and religious context of rabbinic justifications for the use of Jewish languages, and of Yiddish in particular. Reasons for the general abandonment of Yiddish outside of the haredi world are also summarized and placed in juxtaposition with the Yiddish language of loyalty of the haredim. Yiddish language and corpus planning in haredi schools is analysed using communal documents and newspaper articles, educational assessments of Jewish schools compiled by Her Majesty's Inspectors, a number of interviews with communal educators, tape recordings of lessons given in Yiddish, and observations made during my own visits to haredi educational institutions. A significant part of this book is dedicated to the analysis of the Yiddish language itself as it is currently used in Britain. The analysis of spoken Yiddish is based on recordings of speech patterns collected in the course of field work in haredi schools in London and Manchester and focuses primarily on dialectal usage based on religious sect and the geographic region within Britain. A brief sociological analysis of haredi literature in Yiddish is provided in order to demonstrate the ideological function of Yiddish language texts in contemporary Britain, and in the haredi world in general. The primary materials used for this are texts produced by, and published within, the haredi communities of Britain.

Ce guide pratique a pour objet d'aider les agents d'organismes de développement établis en zone sahélo-soudanienne dans leur travail de conseillers auprès des communautés paysannes pour l'aménagement, le financement et la gestion des points d'eau. La méthode exposée a servi de référence aux animateurs du projet Développement paysannal et gestion de terroirs mené au Nord-Cameroun depuis 1994. Elle vise à inspirer les agents d'autres structures de développement appelés à intervenir dans le domaine de l'hydraulique pastorale.

"The available sources on Hasidic society at the turn of the twentieth century create an impression of discontented Jewish youth and panicked parents, but not inexorable crisis and decline. Though the First World War and post-war pogroms further destabilized Hasidic society, they inadvertently created opportunities for the reinvention and revitalization of traditionalist education. The challenges of the early twentieth century would prove more galvanizing than demoralizing for certain visionary, reform-minded Hasidic leaders"--

La méthode des points de fonction est l'outil incontournable pour la mesure fonctionnelle des SI et l'estimation des coûts de développement. Elle permet de mesurer les services rendus aux utilisateurs du SI, indépendamment des aspects architecturaux et méthodologiques du développement logiciel. Cette méthode s'applique aux fonctions de l'entreprise comme la direction des systèmes d'information (fonctions projet, processus et gouvernance), les directions métiers (fonction maîtrise d'ouvrage) ou les SSII (fonctions projet, qualité et méthodes). Des exemples et études de cas illustrant l'utilisation de la méthode permettent de définir les usages (estimation des coûts, mais aussi suivi des ratios de productivité, etc.), d'attribuer des méthodes spécifiques pour les différents types de SI (IFPUG et/ou COSMIC), de révéler les limites et extensions (cotation des algorithmes) et de déterminer les chiffres de bases (ratios de productivité, taille des SI, coefficients correcteurs, etc.). L'auteur Spécialiste en développement et direction de projet de SI, Bernard Mesdon utilise les points de fonction depuis 1996 comme outil d'analyse fonctionnelle et d'estimation des coûts de développement.
