TL;DR: A textual data processing system for literary and social sciences, called SATO (Systime d'analyse des textes par ordinateur), has been implemented with a view of providing an interaction between textual data description and its interpretation.
Abstract: THE INTRODUCTION of the computer in the last ten years as a tool for the exploration and analysis of literary data has not been a substitute for the intelligence of the researcher but more of an extension of his memory and organizing capabilities. In the investigation of many disciplines based on textual data (literature, history, sociology, philosophy, theology), the researcher often has to manage a vast quantity of information. As he must frequently parse, recall or organize his text and make inferences from it, he may write cards, underline, annotate with numbers, copy references, generate new texts, produce concept associations, build concordances and so on. In fact, many of his procedures treat the text as nothing more than a set of elements held together by an organizing structure. At this physical level, a computer can be of great assistance, for it can offer many systematically organized data structures for a text and recall hierarchically organized information that varies according to the chosen level of interpretation, be it morphological, lexical or even conceptual. A textual data processing system for literary and social sciences, called SATO (Systime d'analyse des textes par ordinateur), has been implemented with a view of providing an interaction between textual data description and its interpretation. It helps to generate hypotheses which serve as starting points for the researcher's interpretations. The system, conceived and written at the Universit6 du Qu6bec in Montreal, has been working since 1973. The first part is presented here; a second part is now under development, involving scholars from philosophy, linguistics and computer science. The SATO system is related to similar systems in the fields of literary textual data processing and content analysis, such as the General Inquirer.' In the first these, many textpack systems oriented towards the manipulation of large textual data bases have produced indexes, concordances and basic frequency counts. Used mainly for stylistic, philological and lexical studies, as well as the statistical analysis of authorship, these textpacks are usually programmed to present a simple interface to the literary scholar who has no special knowledge of computer programming. The second of these areas, content analysis, has been more concerned with methodology. Of secondary im ortance is the occasionally large volume of textual data, which may come from newspapers, interviews, etc. The analysis techniques are more sophisticated, for example cluster analysis, factorial analysis, categorial and correlation analysis. The SATO system has been conceived with these two functions in mind, i.e., classical literary research and content analysis either on standard or transformed texts. Like the other

TL;DR: In this paper, the Stockmayer-Fixman relation was used to obtain from Δ[η] a molecular-weight independent function of composition, which is indeed negative for propylene-rich copolymers and zero for a 56% ethylene copolymer.
Abstract: Intrinsic viscosities have been measured at 25° on five ethylene–propylene copolymer samples ranging in composition from 33 to 75 mole-% ethylene. The solvents used were n-C8 and n-C16 linear alkanes and two branched alkanes, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane (br-C16). This choice was based on the supposition that the branched solvent would prefer the propylene segments and the linear solvent the ethylene segments, due to similarity in shape and possibly in orientational order. It was found that [η]n − [η]br ≡ Δ[η] is indeed negative for propylene-rich copolymers, zero for a 56% ethylene copolymer, and positive for ethylene-rich copolymers. The Stockmayer–Fixman relation was used to obtain from Δ[η] a molecular-weight independent function of composition. The quantities (Δ[η]/[η])(1 + aM−1/2) and Δ[η]/M are linear with the mole percent ethylene in the range investigated with 200 ≤ a ≤ 2000. The possibility of using these results for composition determination in ethylene–propylene copolymers is discussed. Intrinsic viscosities in the same solvents are reported for two samples of a terpolymer with ethylidene norbornene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the concept of economic growth should be seen not only as an end in itself but as a means of legitimizing the perpetuation of particular interests to the detriment of more general interests.
Abstract: This paper argues that the concept of economic « growth » should be seen not only as an end in itself but as a means of legitimizing the perpetuation of particular interests to the detriment of more general interests. This hypothesis is illustrated with reference to the growth experience of the Ivory Coast.Through an analysis of the Ivorian Five Year Plan, the paper attempts to show the ideological and political character of the social and economic changes projected for the period 1971–1975 which may be shown to be the continuation of those which have taken place in the Ivory Coast since political independence in 1960.The planning document is presented as a political instrument not only in the narrow sense because of the highly selective presentation of the statistical information, but also because of the general orientation to the growth pattern which it proposes which ensures the reproduction of the existing power structure. The former statement is documented through references to the choices, o...
TL;DR: Radio-Quebec is the Quebec educational television service, the Quebec equivalent of the Ontario Educational Communications Authority or of the Public Broadcasting System in the United States as discussed by the authors, which was founded by Daniel Johnson's strategy to recapture jurisdiction over broadcasting from the federal government.
Abstract: . Radio-Quebec is the Quebec educational television service, the Quebec equivalent of the Ontario Educational Communications Authority or of the Public Broadcasting System in the United States.
However, Radio-Quebec has also had to carry the burden of a ‘second mandate’: a symbolic one. Its foundation was part of Daniel Johnson's strategy to recapture jurisdiction over broadcasting from the federal government. Eventually-so many people thought-Radio-Quebec would replace Radio-Canada within the frontiers of Quebec.
However, the course of its development led it into a number of severe administrative problems. There was an institutional conflict with the Ministry of Education. There was public criticism of the quality of its productions, to the effect that it resembled a sort of ‘televised radio’ Finally, there was an increasing gap between its costs and its revenues, which led the organization to seek increased funds, ‘to improve the quality of its programming’
It is argued that many of these problems have arisen because of an initial emphasis on local production at the expense of broadcasting as such. Because of Radio-Quebec's ‘patriotic’ mandate perhaps, the setting up of production facilities enjoyed the highest priority. Only in this way could ‘made-in-Quebec’ programs be produced. Broadcasting, on the other hand, did not begin until four years after the organization's foundation.
Sommaire. Radio-Quebec est un reseau d'Etat de television educative, l'equiva-lent quebecois de l'Office de la telecommunication educative de l'Ontario, (Ontario Educational Communications Authority) ou de la Public Broadcasting System aux Etats-Unis.
Mais Radio-Quebec se voit aussi attribuer un deuxieme mandat: de type « symbolique ». En effet, sa fondation faisait partie de la strategic generale de Daniel Johnson, qui reclamait la juridiction entiere du Quebec dans le domaine des communications. A long terme-dans l'esprit de nombreuses personnes-Radio-Quebec remplacerait Radio-Canada a l'interieur des fron-tieres quebecoises.
Mais, au cours de son evolution, Radio-Quebec fit face a une serie de defis assez graves. Il y eut un conflit institutionnel avec le ministere de l'Education, son client principal. Il y eut des critiques faites a l'egard de sa pragrammation, selon laquelle on faisait « de la radio televisee ». Enfin, il y eut un probleme financier; l'ecart croissant entre ses couts et ses revenus, qui l'amena a reclamer un surcroit d'argent « pour ameliorer la qualite de la programmation ».
L'hypothese de ce travail est que bon nombre de ces problemes resultaient d'une decision de developper d'abord le secteur de la production aux depens du secteur diffusion. Peut-etre a cause de son mandat « patriotique », la production eut la premiere priorite. C'etait la le seul moyen de realiser des documents « faits au Quebec ». La diffusion, par contre, ne commenca que quatre ans apres sa fondation.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to try to answer the following questions: (1) is there an employers' syndicalism? (2) what influence do labour unions and public authorities have on employers' associations? (3) how effective is an employers' association? and (4) what are the limits of such an association?The myth that employers are united in a movement hardly withstands the examination of the facts. Some enterprises in a market economy are ready to join employers' associations but such organizations have varying degrees of participation. The associations themselves do not always pursue the same path.Dealing with the Quebec scene, this study brings out the cleavages which exist within the employers’ group.
