Pénurie de main-d’œuvre, transformation numérique, concurrence étrangère; le rythme de travail s’accélère, s’intensifie et la charge des travailleurs augmente, plus particulièrement depuis la pandémie de la COVID-19. L’autonomisation du travail a permis d’éliminer certaines tâches routinières et de gagner en efficacité, mais elle contribue également à complexifier la tâche et à augmenter les ressources cognitives […]

Face à la nécessité de décarboner et réduire l’impact environnemental de l’économie québécoise, le Front commun pour la transition énergétique (FCTÉ) développe un scénario de transition dont la ligne directrice est une réduction de moitié de la consommation en énergie. Une telle réduction de la consommation d’énergie, combinée à un mix adéquat de politiques publiques, […]

Like most Canadian municipalities, the City of Ottawa is struggling to reign in urban sprawl and encourage sustainable residential development.

Profits and markets are larger for single detached houses in the suburbs, and housing consumers choose green construction […]

This study will survey health care and social service providers, as well as parents, in a Northern Ontario community to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted availability of and access to services for postnatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).

In this project, the goal is to manipulate the temporal variability of rhytmic auditory cues to test its effect on gait in young adults. Young adults will walk alone without any auditory cues and then will walk to the sounds of rhythmic sequences. The rythmic sequences will either be isochronous, random (non-biological variability) or fractal […]

The project tests musicians and non-musicians with auditory feedback perturbation paradigms in speech and music. In auditory feedback perturbation studies, speakers speak or sing a sequence into a microphone and hear their own productions via special in-ear headphones, while specific parameters in the feedback signal are altered in real-time. In the two speech conditions, parts […]

ArchaeoSoft Inc. was created to develop the software STRATUM, a mobile platform for collecting archaeologiucla data while doing field work. The workflow archaeoilogists use is complex and requires significant ability to recognize important information and record it appropriately, to conduct archaeological procedures to the standards of regulators, to manage teams in their data collection process, […]

Inner-city organizations in Winnipeg have long called for transformation of the policies and practices that created injustice for inner-city residents. This year’s State of the Inner City report uses precedent studies to identify funding models that foreground community leadership, and knowledge translation and community development events to celebrate the people and community organizations of the […]

A partir d’un corpus d’articles de presse publiés au Québec en français, nous cherchons à comprendre les mécanismes linguistiques de la subjectivité dans les textes journalistiques. Notre objectif est de confronter l’efficacité des méthodes statistiques d’analyse de la subjectivité, basées sur la théorie linguistique, avec les performances inégalées mais peu transparentes des approches utilisant l’apprentissage […]
