Motor skillA motor skill is a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task. These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together. The goal of motor skill is to optimize the ability to perform the skill at the rate of success, precision, and to reduce the energy consumption required for performance. Performance is an act of executing a motor skill or task.
Valeur actuelle netteLa valeur actuelle nette (VAN, en anglais : net present value, NPV) est une mesure de la rentabilité d'un investissement calculée comme la somme des flux de trésorerie engendrés par cette opération, chacun étant actualisé de façon à réduire son importance dans cette somme à mesure de son éloignement dans le temps. Si le taux d'actualisation est choisi convenablement, l'investissement sera réputé rentable et donc retenu si et seulement si sa valeur actuelle nette est positive.
Soft skillsSoft skills, also known as power skills, common skills, essential skills, or core skills, are skills applicable to all professions. These include critical thinking, problem solving, public speaking, professional writing, teamwork, digital literacy, leadership, professional attitude, work ethic, career management and intercultural fluency. This is in contrast to hard skills, which are specific to individual professions. The word "skill" highlights the practical function.
Boat buildingBoat building is the design and construction of boats and their systems. This includes at a minimum a hull, with propulsion, mechanical, navigation, safety and other systems as a craft requires. Wood is the traditional boat building material used for hull and spar construction. It is buoyant, widely available and easily worked. It is a popular material for small boats (of e.g. length; such as dinghies and sailboats). Its abrasion resistance varies according to the hardness and density of the wood and it can deteriorate if fresh water or marine organisms are allowed to penetrate the wood.
Fine motor skillFine motor skill (or dexterity) is the coordination of small muscles in movement with the eyes, hands and fingers. The complex levels of manual dexterity that humans exhibit can be related to the nervous system. Fine motor skills aid in the growth of intelligence and develop continuously throughout the stages of human development. Motor skills are movements and actions of the bone structures. Typically, they are categorised into two groups: gross motor skills and fine motor skills.
Système-mondeLe système-monde est une théorie marxiste des relations internationales qui s'inscrit dans le post-marxisme économique. Le concept est inspiré de celui d'économie-monde de Fernand Braudel. Développé par Immanuel Wallerstein, Giovanni Arrighi et Samir Amin, la théorie du système-monde se fonde sur des conclusions de l'école de la dépendance pour décrire le système sur lequel se fonde l'impérialisme. Selon ce concept, le sous-développement des pays du Sud serait dû à leur place dans la structure de l'ordre économique international.
