Les politiques publiques d'aide aux PME et TPE au Japon

International audienceCette communication brosse dans une première partie le cadre historique de la politique japonaise en faveur des PME. Dans une seconde partie, cette communication s'intéresse aux réponses institutionnelles apportées par le Japon au financement des PME et TP E japonaises dans un contexte de crise durable depuis les années 90

ITEP/JMU Database of International Experiences: Supporting the Test and Evaluation Community

A new database has been added to the James Madison University (JMU) Lessons Learned database, with more specific content and aim. The specific content reflects the main tasks that the International Test and Evaluation Program (ITEP) for humanitarian demining has agreed on in its Memorandum of Understanding, namely to evaluate and standardise the process of equipment testing in the humanitarian demining industry. The JMU Mine Action Information Centre (MAIC) maintains the database, whereas the ITEP Secretariat is responsible for its content

Systematic Test and Evaluation of Metal Detectors: The EC\u27s STEMD Project

There is an international need for people within the humanitarian demining community (HDC) to be informed about appropriate metal detectors for the clearance process. Those involved in information exchange within the HDC will know that metal detector trials are performed regularly. User requirements and test results can easily be published because a network exists within the HDC. The Journal of Mine Action itself is part of this network and readers will probably also be familiar with the websites and publications of the International Test and Evaluation Program for Humanitarian Demining (ITEP) and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD). The GICHD periodically publishes a metal detector catalogue containing manufacturers\u27 specifications and references to test reports. Since the middle of the 1990s, increased efforts have been made to improve testing and develop reliable and systematic methods. The European Commission\u27s (EC\u27s) project, Systematic Test and Evaluation of Metal Detectors (STEMD), is a new step in this development

Systematic Test & Evaluation of Metal Detectors: Interim Report Field Trials Mozambique

The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission published at the end of 2005 another interim report for the STEMD project. This article gives background on the project and report and some results and recommendations of the trial. The authors hope this article will pique interest in the full report

Saint-Roman (Drôme)

Date de l'opération : 2007 (SP) Une troisième campagne programmée sur ce site de plein air a concerné la fouille de 20 m2 à l’est et au sud des secteurs précédemment fouillés (Fig. n°1 : Implantation des fouilles). Celle-ci a permis d’apporter de nouveaux éléments concernant l’extension du niveau archéologique en relation avec la paléotopographie du site. Les décapages manuels du paléosol (US4) confirment la bonne conservation du niveau archéologique sous forme de concentrations lithiques (p..

Saint-Roman – Maumuye

La deuxième campagne programmée sur le site de plein air de Maumuye a concerné un secteur de 17 m2, contigu à ceux précédemment étudiés. La fouille principale s’est développée sur 10 m2 au sud de la tranchée exploitée en 2003-2004. Elle a permis d’analyser l’extension du niveau archéologique et l’évolution topographique et stratigraphique de cette partie. Les décapages ont mis en évidence un développement pédostratigraphique important et une couche archéologique présente sur toute la surface ..

Les investissements japonais dans le monde : quelle stratégie caribéenne ?

From the point of view of exports and direct investment, Japanese firms have never considered the West Indies as being of any importance. The large corporations are present and export consumer goods to the French overseas departments, which they see as oases of relative development in a deprived region but, when all comes to all, sales are puny as far as these corporations are concerned.Direct investment remains very low, mirroring the weakness in basic infrastructures. Certain islands in the region are trying to carve out niches for themselves as tax havens, but with little success so far. Tourism has attracted more.In future, the West Indies should benefit from a higher level of human and technological assistance as part of the diversification of Japanese government aid. The government is being urged by the United States and the EEC not to give systematic preference to the Asian countries in this respect. Logically, this development fits in with the universalisation of the strategy adopted by the Japanese companies and government

The Relationship Between Muscular Strength and Predicted Academic Success Among Selected College Freshmen Male Students at South Dakota State University

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between muscular strength and predicted academic success of selected freshmen male college students at South Dakota State University. The muscular strength test used was taken from the cable-tension battery and the predicted academic success factor was represented by the American College Test composite score. Thirty freshmen male college students were randomly selected according to their American College Test composite score. All athletes and students in strenuous classes of physical education had been previously eliminated. The subjects were then given a four test battery of cable tension strength tests to determine muscular strength. A linear and multiple correlation was computed by an electric computer. It was concluded that the relationship between muscular strength and predicted academic success as determined by this investigation showed only a slight relationship. The sample subject was not sufficient. A further investigation should be conducted using all freshmen and not eliminating athletes and those in strenuous physical education classes

Where Technology and Field Information Meet: The Metal Detector Handbook

The Metal Detector Handbook for Humanitarian Demining explains what all operators need to know about modern metal detectors. If trying to test, select or simply use a detector to its optimal ability, this handbook will show the user exactly what is needed. The handbook is in pocket A5 format and is resistant to field use
