Implémentation de la Stimulation Électrique Fonctionnelle sur les membres supérieurs

Ce projet vise à améliorer la réadaptation des personnes atteintes de paralysies ou de troubles neuromusculaires affectant les bras, grâce à une technologie appelée stimulation électrique fonctionnelle (SEF). Cette technique utilise des impulsions électriques pour activer les muscles, permettant des mouvements que les patients ne peuvent pas réaliser seuls. L’étude se concentre sur l’effet de […]

Les agressions sexuelles perpétrées à l’endroit de victimes inconnues

Ce projet a pour objectif d’examiner les facteurs influençant la mobilité géographique des délinquants sexuels, en vue de mieux comprendre leurs comportements de déplacement pour commettre des crimes. La majorité des recherches actuelles montrent que ces individus tendent à rester proches de leur domicile, mais des cas de déplacements plus longs restent peu explorés et […]

Numerical Optimization of Solar Photovoltaic Thermal System Performance and Reliability under Extreme Climate Conditions

Renewable energy based on solar photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems is gaining significant attention as an alternative energy source to reduce the global carbon footprint. However, the performance and reliability of these systems can decrease considerably under extreme climatic conditions, such as high and low temperatures and fluctuating humidity levels. Despite this, our understanding of the […]

Elucidating the role of the peripheral-brain immune axis in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is commonly described as a brain disorder, but recent research suggests that early events outside the brain (periphery) may influence Parkinson’s disease neuropathology. The blood-brain barrier is a structure that protects the vulnerable brain tissue from blood-borne toxins and circulating immune cells, but barrier function appears compromised in PD. A consequence, there may […]

A Bot for Patch Linkage Detection In Modern Code Review Platforms

Code review tools are essential in software quality assurance for projects like Android and OpenStack, and companies such as Google and Microsoft. OpenStack alone has over 100,000 contributors and 600+ repositories, where parallel patch submissions often lead to redundant work. Studies indicate that identifying duplicate patches takes, on average, 2.5 reviewers and 5.2 comments per […]

Sharing small spaces: Social tolerance and conservation in capuchin monkeys living in rescue centers and a forest fragment

Habitat loss and fragmentation is occurring rapidly throughout nonhuman primate ranges around the globe. Advancing knowledge on how capuchin monkeys (_Sapajus libidnosus_ and _Sapajus flavius_) respond to living in smaller spaces, particularly in relation to the role of social tolerance in feeding and foraging, will provide critical information on the adaptive capacity and resilience of […]

Mieux comprendre la prise de décision clinique pour la lombalgie en première ligne de soins : une approche par méthodes mixtes.

L’un des plus grands défis pour le système de soins de santé québécois est l’augmentation des coûts et du fardeau social associés aux maladies chroniques. Parmi celles-ci, les maux de dos sont responsables de la majeure partie des coûts engendrés par les conditions qui touchent le système musculosquelettique. Nombreux sont les patients qui consultent en […]

Theorizing Indigenous Group Silencing; Canadian and South African Perspectives

The proposed research project is a theoretical study on the group silencing of Indigenous communities and advocacy groups in South Africa and Canada. The aim is to look into the historical and current systems, mechanisms, and some seemingly innocent acts that silence Indigenous groups and their advocacy groups and shed light on the significance of […]
