摘要:

Time series for industrial production covering the period 1964 to 1984 for 16 countries of theoecdare analyzed in order to measure the trends in production and to study the diffusion patterns of cyclical fluctuations within the system. The dramatic growth at the beginning of the period is unequally distributed, favouring industrializing countries, such as Greece and Spain, as well as Japan, which joins the ranks ofoecdleading nations during this period. Along with Germany, Japan becomes a key indicator of the system as a whole, its short term performance being highly correlated with most countries of theoecd,whereas that of the U.S.A. becomes quasi‐isolated.On a analysé les séries chronologiques de la production industrielle pour la périǒde 1964 à 1984 pour seize pays del'ocdeafin d'évaluer les tendances, et étudier la structure des variations cycliques au sein du système. La croissance vertigineuse au début de période s'avère inégalement distribuée, favorisant les pays en voie d'in‐dustrialisation tels que la Grèce et l'Espagne ainsi que le Japon qui rejoint alors le rang des pays les plus impor‐tants. C'est d'ailleurs le Japon qui constitue avec l'Alle‐magne l'indicateur clé pour tous les pays del'ocde,sa performance à court terme reflétant sensiblement la situation del'ocdedans son ensemble, alors que celle des Et

摘要:

The existence of interrelations between different mobility forms is generally recognized, but they are not often studied. This article attempts to disentangle the complicated ways in which mobility decisions regarding labour, the house, and home‐work travelling are related to each other and to phases in the life cycle. An empirical analysis is carried out from the perspective of individual life histories of employees in the medical sector. Their mobility careers are followed while their biographies unfold through a succession of socio‐economic and demographic stages. It is shown how motives and patterns of mobility create and change the composition of certain social life‐stage groups and determines who belongs to them.L'existence d'interrelations entre formes de mobilité différentes est, en général, acceptée mais elle n'est pas souvent investiguée. Cet article vise à décrire d'une manière plus simple les décisions par rapport à la mobilité de travail, au logement et aux dieAplacements logement‐travail, ainsi que leurs associations et leurs relations avec les étapes dans le cycle de vie. Une analyse empirique est menée dans la perspective des histoires de vie individuelle des employés du secteur médical. L'his‐toire de leur mobilité est tracée et les biographies dévoilées selon une succession d'étapes socio‐écono‐mique et démographique. II est démontré comment les motifs et modèles de mobilité sont créés et comment ils changent la composition et l'appartenance

摘要:

Les données disponibles sur 67 sites de dunes au Québec méridional ont permis d'esquisser l'histoire des vents dominants durant l'Holocène. En se basant sur la chrono‐logie du recul du front glaciaire et sur la régression des mers postglaciaires, il apparaǐt que le régime des vents fut relativement stable entre 11000 et 7500 ansbp,bien qu'entre 9500 et 8500 ansbp la plaine au sud du Saint‐Laurent ait connu un épisode pendant lequel la provenance des vents dominants était changeante. La provenance des paléovents dominants montre les měmes variations régionales que celle des vents actuels. Ainsi, indépendamment de leur ǎge, les paléovents dominants provenaient du NE dans la plaine sud du Saint‐Laurent, de l'O et du NE sur le rebord des Laurentides, de l'O, du SO, du NO et du N au Lac‐Saint‐Jean et de l'O à l'OSO sur la Cǒte‐Nord du Saint‐Laurent. Les vents qui ont édifié les dunes provenaient d'une circulation d'air anticyclonique provoquée par le retrait de l'Inlandsis laurentidien.Available data on the sand dunes of southern Quebec has permitted the historic reconstitution of prevailing wind patterns during the Holocene. From age data derived from the chronology of glacial front retreat and postglacial sea recession, it appears that the wind regime was relatively stable between 11000 and 7500 yearsbp,although during the period between 9500 and 8500bp, the plain located south of the St. Lawrence underwent an episode during which the direction of the dominant winds was variable. The direction of the prevailing winds during the latter period shows the same regional variations as the actual winds. Thus, regardless of their age, the prevailing winds at that time were from the NE in the southern plain of the St. Lawrence, from the W and NW in the Laurentian foothills, from the W, SW, NW and N in the Lac‐Saint‐Jean area, and from the W to WSW for the North Shore of the St. Lawrence. Winds which produced the dunes came from anticyclonic circulation induced by th

摘要:

A distinguishing factor of western societies is their consumption of energy. In 1986, Canada, the United States, and Australia had per capita consumption rates of 6.3, 4.7, and 3.2 times the global rate, respectively (DIESA 1988). Much of this energy is supplied by fossil fuels. At present, fossil fuels are economically attractive and their relatively high energy densities make them particularly attractive for transport purposes. However, their supply is finite (particularly in the case of petroleum) and their consumption produces atmospheric pollution. The depletion of fossil fuels or a rapid global warming of the atmosphere may eventually force changes in the way developed countries use energy (Lowe 1989). As everyone is an energy consumer, changes in consumption at a societal level are linked with changes at a personal level.

摘要:

The range of health and health care topics amenable to geographical analyses in Western industralized countries has increased tremendously in the past two decades. These studies of health care systems have focused on the health organization, delivery, and utilization of biomed‐ical services, however, to the virtual exclusion of analyses of a wide variety of alternative approaches to health and healing in these countries. This lacuna is regrettable in view of the fact that people's health care behaviour suggests that medical pluralism is a persisting reality in the industrialized countries. There is indeed a coexistence of biomedicine with several alternative therapies and, in recent years, there has been resurgence in the popularity and use of alternative medicin
