This study was designed to obtain detailed information on the qualifications and needs of young people seeking employment in Connecticut business offices. Survey forms were mailed to every fifth Connecticut company listed in the 1966 "Dun and Bradstreet Reference Book" and other companies recommended by the Connecticut State Employment Service. Of 1,226 firms contacted, 824 responded providing the data requested. Research teams conducted 522 interviews with beginning office workers and 353 supervisors of these workers in 130 firms which employed 5 or more beginning workers. Among the many findings were: (1) Most of the major employers were located in the metropolitan areas of the state, (2) Some firms carried on active recruitment programs and the high school was the main target for recruitment, (3) The tests most relied upon as selective devices were the aptitude test and a straight-copy typing test, (4) Nearly two-thirds of the workers held jobs that would be classified in the clerical job family, a sixth in machine operation jobs, and the remainder in secretarial, bookkeeping, and customer contact families, and (5) Nearly all workers had graduated from high school and only 1 in 4 had taken training beyond high school.

The "Golden Hours" of care refers to the unique care of very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates in the first few hours of life. VLBW neonates comprise the majority of high-risk deliveries. Even when these neonates are vigorous and crying, pink and well-perfused, they are at risk. Decisions made in the first hours of life can result in a smooth transition to extrauterine life or can hasten and worsen maladaptation.Provide best-case outcomes for VLBW neonates with Golden Hours: Care of the Very Low Birth Weight Neonate, a practical clinical guide for the NICU.

Qui connaît vraiment les intellectuel.les hors du cercle restreint des historiens et des littéraires ? Quelle mémoire avons-nous de celles et ceux qui, au Québec, eurent recours à la parole comme « mode d'action » ? Qui, comme Hubert Aquin, entreprirent et entreprennent encore de « comprendre dangereusement » la culture et la société de leur époque, remuant idées et images, bousculant pouvoirs et doxa ? Ce dictionnaire est conçu pour combler les lacunes d'une mémoire collective quelque peu défaillante, mais aussi pour donner envie de lire ou de relire les textes de ces femmes et hommes passionnés par les idées, qui ont contribué - et qui contribuent toujours - à bâtir la société québécoise. On y trouvera les noms de celles et ceux qui, depuis trois siècles, interviennent sur la place publique et soulèvent des questions d'intérêt civique et politique à propos d'enjeux collectifs importants ; de celles et ceux qui promeuvent ou incarnent la liberté de parole et la défendent contre différents pouvoirs et structures organisationnelles.
