AbstractIn 2001, Cay Dollerup and Silvana Orel-Kos from Tampere University revealed how co-printing was a common practice in the translation of children's books. More recently, based on his analysis of a corpus of how-to titles published in France, Christian Robin (2006) suggested that, in this particular sector, co-publishing had become the norm. But what about the other sectors of the industry? How widespread is international co-publishing really? What forms can it take? What are the consequences of such international partnerships for publishers, translators, and for those who study their practices: translation scholars? This essay proposes some tentative answers to these questions. Drawing on the practice of several Québec publishers and translators, this discussion aims to highlight how co-publishing is no longer exclusive to minor languages or illustrated books, but rather has tended to spread to other sectors of the industry, including the most “literary” ones, as well as to international languages. It explores finally the theoretical and practical implications of this fact.

This study is a narrative literature review resulting from a scientific mediation synthesis on digital inequalities in education, with the aim of (1) extending our first synthesis with the following questions: what are the avenues for research? and what are the heuristic concepts? and (2) reflecting on the links between scientific research and mediation. Our theoretical anchoring is at the crossroads of the sociocritical approach to educational digital uses, didactics, and scientific mediation. Our corpus, the inclusion criteria of which are made explicit, is composed of 80 studies from European and North American works published between 2002 and 2022. In response to our questions, this study brings to light a number of issues that are still in progress – a mapping of inequalities in teacher use that need to be completed, links with educational pathways that need to be clarified, design biases that need to be examined, and notions of participation in (or exclusion from) digital environments that need to be explored – and heuristically fruitful concepts, as well as for practice, such as digital capital and literacy.

AbstractA survey of the literature on the economics of natural resources. Extractive resources are classified as renewable or non-renewable, depending on whether they exhibit economically significant rates of regeneration. A unified model of optimal extraction over time is developed, drawing on a number of contributions to the literature. Special features are developed for the renewable and non-renewable cases, and extensions and applications are noted, as well as needs for further research. Policy issues are treated, chief among these being the extent to which the market can be trusted to generate the right rate of extraction. Finally the empirical evidence is reviewed on whether we are running out of extractive resources.
