A digital ethic (Rosati, 2012) is applied in education, covering topics such as respect for copyright, cyberbullying and netiquette. But where do we stand in terms of an emerging digital ethic as new forms of action arise from this specific context? To answer this question, we attempt to identify, through the hacker character, this key digital player, ethical orientations and forms of action which, while respecting the purposes of education, would change the relationship with technology. The work of hackers consists partly of understanding and modifying what Feenberg (2013) calls the codes of technology, which are made up of functions and meanings. Coding, decoding and recoding technology with an ethical aim promiting the richness of existence for oneself and others is the basis of three proposals that could foster the emergence of a digital ethic in education: hackerspaces in schools, learning the computer code, and the emergence of education on the codes of technology.

The integrated system of computer assisted decision- making applied to the spatial management of the Outaouais region (SIADO) illustrates the integrated and negociated management of a territory- From this point of view, this article relates to the participative and environmental dimensions of the introduction of a sustainable form of development. The SIADO consists of software (GéoDécision) integrating an analytical decision-making dimension and a spatially referenced data base (BDRS) organised arround a territorial information system based on an ecological reference framework. GéoDécision is made up of four componends : GéoML for the management of metadata ; GIS for spatial analysis ; DecisionLab for murticriteria analysis : and Internet, ft is designed to be used with a management system incorporating the various parties involved. Amongst the different applications of this method, the setting up of surveillance priorities for the municipal water supply sources of the Outaouais region is presented as an illustration of the system's potential.

Publishers and librarians, the intermediaries in the document chain, are increasingly involved in the electronic dissemination of information projects. At the same time, they continue to meet the reader's need for printed material. The different approaches used to insure this co-habitation can be summarised as follows: (1) produce the printed copy then generate electronic versions, (2) produce both formats at the same time, and (3) produce both formats using a single source document containing all the semantic information required for both operations. This article discusses the main advantages of the third option and describes an application developed in pilot project of scholarly journals at the Presses de l'Université de Montréal. The authors discuss the choice of dissemination formats and storage. The SGML format was chosen because of its ability to integrate, its durability, and the semantic richness it expresses. The pilot project (Érudit) described in this article consists in developing a highly automated chain of operations using SGML, a format that will soon be replaced by the XML format. The SGML format will automatically generate the HTML versions, a format widely used on the Web, as well as the print formats, such as PostScript and PDF, used respectively for printing on paper and printing from a distance.

This article focusses on the professional representations toward the socio-judicial intervention of 37 stakeholder involved in the response to domestic violence in Quebec. It aims to highlight the main conceptions of these interveners to define and orient this mode of intervention. It also intends to identify the characteristics that influence these representations. The lexicometric analyses of the 37 individual interviews carried out revealed that judicial intervention, protection of persons, helping relationship and professionalism constitute the main universes of meaning of the participants. These analyses also reveal that the anchoring of these interveners in their field of practice and discipline tends to favour a distinctive language among them. The implications of these results on professional collaboration in domestic violence are discussed, highlighting certain contexts where such collaboration appears to be more necessary.

Localization and translation for languages of sub-Saharan Africa are done within a double set of linguistic and sociolinguistic constraints, and they face two often conflicting trends, on the one hand globalization, and on the other hand the declared policies of promotion of language diversity. I will focus on the area of information technologies, which are both the tools for localization and translation in African languages and the means for developing them. I will present the problems encountered in translation and localization activities, and how these activities develop in the present context. I will review the presence of African languages in digital environments and propose an analysis of the dynamics of translation in which processes and practices interact along two axes, facilitation and complexification.
Keywords: Afrique sub-saharienne, localisation, ingénierie linguistique, langues et développement, sub-Saharan Africa, localization, language engineering, languages and development

Thanks to their user-friendliness and massive expansion in the population, tablets could be the digital tool beyond gendered stereotypes, and a way to counter the long time association between “digital technologies” and masculinity in the field of education. Cross-analysis of teachers' speech on their representations and classroom practices reveal that adherence to stereotypes is already at work and reinforces a gendered hierarchy in primary school. More men are involved and described themselves as “active” while women are more sceptical and “observing”. This research emphasises the need of initial and lifelong training for each teacher, to avoid a transmission of gendered and aged stereotypes in the transliteracy skills among teachers and children.
