Of these groups, two—independent applicants and assisted relatives—are subject to a point system which helps deter­ mine a person’s chances for successfully becoming established in Canada, Burke said. U.N.-designated refugees are assessed according to the same factors used to select independent applicants, but do not receive a point rating; sponsored applicants, or family class applicants, are not assessed under the point system, but must meet basic standards of good health and character.

WHO - UNICEF Intexest WHO/EMRO Activity Conclusion Definition The word rehabilitation originates, according to Webster's Dictionary, from the Latin word "rehabiZiture" meaning "to restore". The wnrd i 4 a composite of the Latin prefix "r>et' meaning "againtt and "hubCZitme" meaning "to make suitable". In other words "b~rehabiZitatel' means to restore a person to a former capacity. The dictionary definition is important as it indicates the necessity of considering rehabilitati.0~as involving the "whole" person, It implies not only the restoratinn nf phyqical deficiencies, but also the retraining of handicapped persons and the provision of the appropriate psycho- logical and social support to repair traumatized mental states. Rehabilitation: A Team Responsibility Formal interest in rehabilitation is a comparatively modern phenomenon. In the past, it mainly concerned the problems of veterans returning from wars; this has led to the present tremendous interest. However, thc importance of rehabilitation tu ir~clus~rialdrvelopmenc Is obvious, when the heavy price in taxes and insurance for failure to absorb disabled persons into the economy is considered. ~ost/benefitstudies have shown that significant savings can be achieved by returning handicapped persons to sheltered or suitable jobs in industry. The Team Approach The full concept of rehabilitation immediately makes us aware that it is not a task for a single individual.

GENERAL CONFERENCE Original: ENGLISH Item 12 of the provisional agenda (GC(XXVIII)/711) THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL Report of the Director General 1. In October 1983, at its twenty-seventh regular session, the General Conference adopted resolution GC(XXVII)/RES/415, in which it: (a) ex­ pressed the hope that the International Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material would enter into force at the earliest possible date and that it would obtain the widest possible adherence; and (b) requested the Director General to report to the General Conference at its next regular session on the signature and ratification status of the Convention. This report is being submitted to the Conference in response to that request. 2. By 31 August 1984, the Convention had been signed by 37 States and one international organization (EURATOM) and ratified by ten States (see Annex); since the twenty-seventh regular session of the General Conference, the Convention has been signed by Australia and ratified by Bulgaria and Hungary. For the Convention's entry into force 21 ratifications, acceptances or approvals are necessary. 3. On 15 June 1984, the Director General addressed a note verbale (N5.92.21 Circ.) to those Member States which had not yet become parties 84-04002 GC(XXVIII)/INF/ 220 page 2 to the Convention requesting information regarding the action which those Governments might take or were already taking with respect to the Convention.

  • Surveys of Consumer Attitudes
    JULY 1980 SURVEY July 29, 1980 Co 0 Surveyso fConsume rAttitude s ST Richard T. Curtin, Director zP JULY SURVEY RECORDS SECOND MONTHLY IMPROVEMENT **In the July 1980 survey, the Index of Consumer Sentiment was 62.3, up 3.5 Index points from the June survey, and more than 10 Index points above the all-time record low of 51.7 recorded in May 1980. The recent improvement in consumer sentiment was due to improved evaluations of personal finances and buying conditions. Lower rates of inflation and lower interest rates were responsible for these improvements. **Among families with incomes of $20,000 and over, the Index figure rose to 67.6 in July, from 61.7 in June 1980. This represents the third monthly increase since the record low level of 52.5 was recorded in April 1980. The July 1980 high-income Index figure was nearly identical to the year-earlier reading of 67.2. **Both short and long-term evaluations of personal finances recorded modest improvements in the July 1980 survey.
