Alphabet arabeLalphabet arabe est un abjad, c'est-à-dire un système d'écriture ne notant que les consonnes (à peu de chose près). Il comporte initialement vingt-huit lettres et s'écrit horizontalement de droite à gauche. Les diverses langues qu'il sert à noter ont donné lieu à de nombreuses adaptations de l'alphabet arabe à leur système phonologique. L'écriture arabe courante ne note pas les voyelles, qui peuvent cependant apparaître sous forme de diacritiques dans certains textes à caractère didactique (Coran, apprentissage de la lecture, dictionnaires).
Waw (letter)Waw ( "hook") is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician wāw , Aramaic waw , Hebrew vav ו, Syriac waw ܘ and Arabic wāw و (sixth in abjadi order; 27th in modern Arabic order). It represents the consonant w in classical Hebrew, and v in modern Hebrew, as well as the vowels u and o. In text with niqqud, a dot is added to the left or on top of the letter to indicate, respectively, the two vowel pronunciations. It is the origin of Greek Ϝ (digamma) and Υ (upsilon), Cyrillic У, Latin F and V and later Y, and the derived Latin- or Roman-alphabet letters U, and W.
AlephAleph (or alef or alif, transliterated ʾ) is the first letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician 𐤀, Hebrew א, Aramaic 𐡀, Syriac ܐ, Arabic ʾ ا, and North Arabian 𐪑. It also appears as South Arabian 𐩱 and Ge'ez አ. These letters are believed to have derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph depicting an ox's head to describe the initial sound of *ʾalp, the West Semitic word for ox (compare Biblical Hebrew ʾelef, "ox"). The Phoenician variant gave rise to the Greek alpha (Α), being re-interpreted to express not the glottal consonant but the accompanying vowel, and hence the Latin A and Cyrillic А.
JawiLe jawi est l'alphabet arabe adapté pour écrire la langue malaise et plusieurs autres langues malaïques (banjar, bengkulu, malais du Brunei, malais jambi, minangkabau, musi), ainsi que l’aceh. Il n’est pas à confondre avec le jawi cham ou le pegon qui lui sont apparentés. C'est l'une des deux formes d'écriture officielles du malais dans le sultanat de Brunei. Il est utilisé dans une moindre mesure et surtout en matière religieuse, en Malaisie, en Indonésie, à Singapour et dans les provinces du sud de la Thaïlande.
Plateforme de vidéos en ligneLes plateformes de vidéo en ligne, ou streaming, apparaissent au début des années 2000 et participent à l'évolution d'Internet vers un web collaboratif où tout devient beaucoup plus accessible et intuitif. En principe, elles se basent sur un système de contenu généré par les utilisateurs, les UCG (users-generated content), ce qui les opposent catégoriquement aux médias traditionnels de diffusion d'images.
Marginal propensity to saveThe marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the fraction of an increase in income that is not spent and instead used for saving. It is the slope of the line plotting saving against income. For example, if a household earns one extra dollar, and the marginal propensity to save is 0.35, then of that dollar, the household will spend 65 cents and save 35 cents. Likewise, it is the fractional decrease in saving that results from a decrease in income.
