Drawing upon the concept of cultural negotiation, this qualitative study offers to explain how expatriates, who have been socialised to their profession in different countries, negotiate their differences in professional practices when working together in global professional service firms (GPSFs). Our findings show that expatriates identify more or less the same differences in practices but differ in the way they perceive and negotiate them. This work contributes to the literature on global/local tensions within GPSFs. The findings emphasise power relationships and different approaches to work between GPSFs from different countries, calling into question the assumption that working practices in these firms are homogeneous at global level.

This article studies the effect of Russia's aggression against Ukraine on the exit decisions by foreign companies operating in Russia. We introduce a geopolitical approach of International Management to explore these decisions in the context of deglobalization. We also consider firms' ESG criteria to explain their exit decisions. We utilize a multiple regression analysis to test the effect of these variables on a sample of around 2000 firms. Our results show that the exit decisions have been made more in conformity with the geopolitical orientation of country of origin than based on their economic interests. ESG criteria and shared values in the country of origin (Democracy and Human rights) also significantly affect exit decisions.

In the context of the sustainable management of the Mulet River watershed, a set of conservation and restoration measures have been identified through a participatory and contributory approach supported by scientific literature. In order to assess these measures according to their overall performance and to bundle them into robust baskets of measures, a multi-criteria decision aid approach in a multi-stakeholder context was employed. This approach allows comparison and ranking of the identified measures while considering the values and the preferences of the various actors involved, in order to facilitate negotiations towards the building of a consensual and shared solution, consisting in baskets of measures. Through the application of this approach leading to a good level of agreement between the actors of the watershed area, several measures of agronomic, plant, mechanical, socio-cultural and socio-political categories were selected, and structured into intervention baskets according to the degredation levels of the watershed. The implementation of these measures aims at making the watershed better adapted to the impacts of climate variability and change, while improving the living conditions of the local communities.

Understood broadly as a kind of language contact, translation plays a considerable role both in the construction of internationalized lexis and in our study of it. Translations are often the site of the earliest attested or pivotal use of interlingual lexical transfers (“loanwords”); in the most radical case, actual lexical creation originates within translational practice itself. Renée Balibar's notion of colingualism offers a compelling alternative to borrowing and translanguaging as a way of explaining internationalisms. Case studies on internationalisms coined in the late nineteenth century (sodomy as ‘bestiality', sapphism, uranism/uranist) exemplify a lexicological approach to translation analysis that focuses on explaining how the lexical types found in specific translations relate to the larger internal lexical structure of a language. The semantic field of historical queerness is only an example: the translational analytical approach demonstrated here can be applied to the lexicological study of any vocabulary informed by language contact.

To date, municipal translation policies have attracted only limited scholarly interest, with researchers preferring to focus on language policy and language planning in a national context. This article aims to problematize the little-known field of municipal translation policy in Canada, drawing on both the insights of complexity theory (Marais 2014) and empirical data. Based on interviews with municipal officials and an analysis of the translation policies of ten of Canada's most diverse municipalities, this article provides an unprecedented overview of municipal translation policies, in addition to identifying their main orientations beyond any simplifying binarism. In so doing, it develops an innovative framework for accounting for municipal translation policies in all their complexity.

In France, the Covid-19 health crisis and the general confinement of the population have put a great deal of pressure on the caring activities of relatives of elderly and people with disabilities. Travel restrictions and the closure of many health and medical-social services have increased the isolation of family carers who support their loved ones at home. Between March and May 2020, a questionnaire survey was carried out online among members of the associations belonging to the Collectif Inter-Associatif des Aidants Familiaux (1032 responses). The article analyses the different experiences of caring during confinement, comparing situations according to the gender of the caregiver and the relationship with the recipient. It also examines the relation between caregiving trajectory and the experience of a crisis as acute as the Covid-19 pandemic.

This article aims to synthesize and update a review on the phenomenon of the crisis in the IDD-ASD which was published in 2015. After a reminder of the context, the concept of Behavioral crisis (BC) is discussed and theoretical and clinical formulations are proposed from the current state of knowledge. Then, drawing on all the documentation collected, a model of preventive interventions on BC situations in IDD-ASD summarizes the best practices identified in the field. In conclusion, the limitations of the proposal are briefly mentioned and some research tracks are mentioned.

Synergology's supporters consider it as a scientific discipline. But the unique peer-reviewed publication (Turchet, 2013) contains gaps (including the improper use of scientific literature to justify arguments, or methodological biases). Moreover, rhetorical fallacies are used to present results that appear to confirm the hypotheses. That is why synergology only has the appearance of a scientific discipline, and the absence of reliable validations combined with an imperfect theoretical model inevitably classifies it as a pseudoscience. This analysis is discussed in terms of use of pseudosciences in the judicial system and their impact during trials. Recommendations are made so that professionals can identify them.

The aim of this review is to sum up the recommended clinical practices that promote therapeutic alliance in interventions conducted with ethnocultural minority adolescents in mandatory intervention settings (child welfare, juvenile justice, psychiatry). The analysis of the results stemming from the 32 selected articles allows to list practices that can be organised around knowledge, dispositions and skills. The analysis also brings to light important methodological biases in studies on the topic, as well as an absence of empirical support for the practices. Directions for clinical practice and future research are proposed.
