Access to information and knowledge is closely linked to intellectual property rights, and a fair, balanced, and robust international intellectual property regime is needed to give everybody an equal opportunity to fully participate in the information revolution. This article examines the international intellectual property regime as it relates to the development of an inclusive global information society. It begins by providing an overview of intellectual property rights and justifications for protecting those rights. It then explores the increased distrust of the intellectual property system, especially among less developed countries, human rights advocates, development specialists, and those on the unfortunate side of the digital divide. The article delineates five prerequisites for the development of a fair, balanced, and robust international intellectual property regime: (1) thorough understanding, (2) balanced debate, (3) equal dialogue, (4) a fair regime, and (5) global solidarity. It concludes by critically examining those portions of the WSIS Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action that are related to intellectual property and traditional knowledge.

Children living with a parent diagnosed with a major depressive disorder are at higher risk of experiencing social, academic and emotional difficulties (Reupert et al., 2012). They also very often have a caregiving role towards their parents (Cooklin, 2010). Abroad, several interventions have been developed for these children and their families in order to promote their resilience. In Quebec, the FAMILLE + program, a targeted preventive intervention for children and families living with a parent with a depressive disorder, was developed in 2018. The content of the program, including its objectives, structure, learning activities and innovative tools proposed will be described. Then, authors will describe the results of a pilot study on the fidelity of the program's implementation, the main factors facilitating and hindering the implementation, as well as the perceived benefits of the program, as perceived by the participants (children and parents) and the facilitators. Finally, research and clinical implications will be discussed.

AbstractThis article argues that Byron's rehabilitation of the abject figure of the Oriental woman in his verse romances serves as a popular model of female heroism for Felicia Hemans. The orientalized Byronic heroines that appear in Hemans's poems challenge stereotypical representations of femininity through their unorthodox acts of self-assertion—often engaging in violence and even suicide as a means of avenging the loss of familial ties or emancipating themselves from their oppressive circumstances. Defiant heroines like Eudora in “The Bride of the Greek Isle,” Maimuna in “The Indian City” and a whole host of other distraught yet resolute women who insist on reclaiming their dignity and humanity through acts of violence and self-destruction, all reflect the poet's persistent, even obsessive, meditations on the role of the Eastern woman in the formation of English national consciousness. As the feminized embodiment of Britain's “self-consolidating Other”, Hemans's Byronic heroines serve not only as potent symbols of English ambivalence towards racial and cultural difference but also reveal the various inconsistencies of nineteenth-century British society by drawing attention to issues of nationalism and gender closer to home. Placed in the most trying emotional states, these heroines retaliate with impressive displays of agency and courage, and their actions allow Hemans not only to call into question the innate masculinity of acts of valor and sacrifice, but also to underscore the sorority of female suffering. More significantly, the poet's sympathetic portrayal of her Byronic heroines in the poems discussed --a depiction that links these heroines' psychological rebellion with the domestic affections-- enables her to promote the feminized idea of the British nation, and by implication, the British Empire, as a political commonwealth based on an ethic of care and tolerance.

In this article, the author follows the genesis of Fauré's L'Horizon chimérique from the first encounter between musician and poet to the completion of the musical setting and finally to problems of performance. He pays particular attention to the formal characteristics of a poem (prosody, rhythm, metrics) and tries to show their importance all the way to the smallest details of the musical setting.
