No full textLike the other books in the Gai Moulin series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes the lesson of the fable. Here that story is Le Géant et le Nain. The dwarf gets angry when his friend the giant announces that he will have something surprising to offer at the town festival. The giant jumps gracefully from a tower. The jealous dwarf tries to jump down from the roof of a house but plummets like a rock and is seriously hurt. The last illustration is a nice detail from the festival picture. The picture for the fable itself is very good: the bull cries over the exploded frog. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover.Language note: FrenchLa Fontaine; avec un conte explicatif par Tante Tsylla et Frédérique Lauran

No full textLike the other books in the Gai Moulin series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes the lesson of the fable. Here that story is Jean Pointu et le Forgeron. Jean Pointu wears a pointed cap and works as an apprentice at a pastry shop. He is good but he brags. His blacksmith friend Tapenclume is just the opposite. Pointu invites Tapenclume to dinner in the shop, using his master's utensils and food, but dinner is interrupted, so Pointu thinks, by the unexpected return of his master. It turns out to be a false alarm, but for Tapenclume the evening is already spoiled. He invites Pointu to his place the next day. There is a great last detail illustration of the two mice in fear. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover. The cover is crimped.Language note: FrenchLa Fontaine; avec un conte explicatif par Tante Tsylla et Frédérique Lauran

No full textLike the other books in the Gai Moulin series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes the lesson of the fable. Here that story is La Mesaventure du Lutin Jaunet. The miserly elf Jaunet invites Propret to dinner, saying Come at seven if you can. When Propret arrives, Jaunet claims to have lost the key to his house's door, and the window is barred. He recalls his invitation --if you can-- and explains that Propret cannot come in to dine with him at seven. Propret invites him a few days later, apparently forgetting the whole incident. He has some slices of roast meat hung up in a tree. Propret bids Jaunet to come up with him and enjoy them. Jaunet suffers from acrophobia and leaves quietly. There is a good last detail picture of Propret frustrated by being locked out. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover.Language note: FrenchLa Fontaine; avec un conte explicatif par Tante Tsylla et Frédérique Lauran

No full textHere is the French version of a smaller and more recent English pamphlet from Grandreams that I dated 1986? This booklet is not only larger; it takes more space for things like a title-page and a last repeated illustration (detail of the fox) after the story. Here Tante Tsylla et Frédérique Laurant are acknowledged; they will not be acknowledged there. The illustrations are all larger proportionally here. Like the later, smaller reprinting, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes in human terms the lesson of the fable. A tinker exploits a rich man who wants to learn to sing; when the rich man is poor, the tinker disappears. The art is cute but sometimes anatomically off. The arm of the fox facing the actual fable seems bent in the wrong direction. I seem to have found six of the series of eight booklets. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover.Language note: FrenchLa Fontaine; avec un conte explicatif par Tante Tsylla et Frédérique Lauran

Product Innovation Knowledge Transfer for Developing Countries: Towards a systematic Transfer Approach
No full textThe transfer of knowledge on product innovation to small- and medium-sized enterprises and local knowledge institutions in developing countries is expected to be one of the key drivers for competiveness and economical growth, and a part of the solution to environmental and social challenge. In that respect, this PhD study focuses on how the process of the current knowledge transfer takes place and how it can be improved. A combination of literature review and empirical research has resulted into a conceptual framework to describe the complex and dynamic process of product innovation knowledge transfer to developing countries. In order to improve this process, a systematic approach has been developed and operationalized by a needs assessment tool and a design manual: The UNEP Design for Sustainability for Developing Economies (D4S-DE) Manual (www.d4s-de.org). Both tools have been tested in practice by practitioners and have been evaluated by an academic review board.Design EngineeringIndustrial Design Engineerin
Where do we draw lines: professional relationship boundaries and the child and youth care practitioner
No full textThe question of professional relationship boundaries is a poignant one, in light of the many boundary grey-zones that are created by the variety of young people’s needs, practice settings and professional relationship contexts within the field of child and youth care. In order to support practitioners’ development of critical thought and awareness of professional boundaries, this paper applies a professional relationship boundaries conceptual framework to child and youth care work, and the literature is consulted to explore the impacts of boundary violations, influences on individual’s boundaries, cues to indicate blurring boundaries, and key strategies to maintain balanced boundaries
