As diabetes continues to rise globally, the risk of developing chronic diabetic complications greatly increases. Among these complications, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious liver disease that can contribute to major scarring of the liver and this may ultimately lead to liver failure. To develop a better understanding of the processes involved in […]

During this internship, my goal is to create a dinitrogen molecule that fits into the frustrated Lewis pair model. This molecule will be used to replace currently existing polluting fertilizers. To achieve this goal, the internship is divided into three steps: -The first consists of synthesizing a molecule containing N2. -Next, we will try to […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris à l’Université de Leipzig servira à identifier des feuilletons, courts textes de la presse écrite des années 1920-1930 en Europe centrale, traitant de procès. Ces textes connaissaient un vif succès à cette époque particulièrement dû à l’effervescence des quotidiens mais aussi dû à la méthode d’écriture propre à ce genre. […]

Dans ce projet de recherche, l’objectif est d’étudier et d’analyser différentes molécules synthétisées afin de découvrir leur réactivité avec le CO2. Le projet se concentrera donc sur la mise en place et la production de ces différentes molécules, dans un premier temps. Par la suite, l’application de ces molécules avec du dioxyde de carbone (CO2) […]

This project seeks to understand the role different European Union (EU) institutions play in the global competition for highly-skilled migrant professionals. While EU member states still retain sovereignty over the long-term admission of third country nationals, the EU Commission, Council and Parliament have started to propose and push policy initiatives related to high-skilled migration. Triggered […]

Le projet portera sur la thématique de l’acceptabilité sociale, c’est à dire, l’opinion qu’a la population d’un projet ou une décision (Gendron, 2014). Il vise à analyser les dynamiques sociales entourant une controverse qui sera débattue devant la Commission Nationale du Débat Public, en France entre les mois de mai et juillet 2019. La CNDP […]

La fatigue représente le symptôme le plus fréquemment rapporté par les patients atteints de la sclérose en plaques (SP). Cette fatigue liée à la SP s’avère limitante pour les tâches du quotidien. Jusqu’à maintenant, peu d’études ont mesuré la fatigue neuromusculaire à la suite d’un exercice fatigant exigeant de larges masses musculaires comme celles exigées […]

Values and beliefs within social-ecological systems (SES) are a fundamental aspect of perception and cognition, which have largely been neglected within the social-ecological systems literature. The purpose of this research is to understand the values and beliefs of dried fish producers and how they contribute to the producers’ well-being in Sundarbans region, West Bengal, India. […]

The metabolic theory of ecology states that the rate at which an organism uses energy is a key driver of its ecology and can provide a framework for the study of its behaviour, life history, population dynamics, and impact on the ecosystem. Despite being an important aspect of a species’ biology, metabolic rate has not […]

Conductive polymer nanocomposites have become increasingly popular due to the combined flexibility and low cost. The presence of a conductive filler network, which is reconfigurable by applied strain, can be used in sensors. The materials to be developed are ideal for the biomedical field and wearable electronics where flexible non-invasive devices can be worn outside […]

Numerical simulation is a cornerstone of modern science and industry, and is used in many facets of our everyday lives. While many of us are familiar with short-term weather forecasting, substantially more computational effort is dedicated to longer-term simulations of the Earth’s ocean and atmosphere, for climate and other reasons. In such simulations, certain properties […]

Free ranging and wild animals sometimes experience challenges of physical wellbeing and optimal movement ability, but assessing if they are stressed in these situations can prove difficult. My research will be focusing on a population of Japanese macaques on Awaji Island, Japan that are born with very high incidences of limb malformations that cause physical […]
