La ville d’Hanoï est aujourd’hui si densément construite que toute intervention de l’État sur ses infrastructures urbaines nécessite souvent la démolition de constructions existantes. Le développement de la capitale vietnamienne entraîne ainsi la relocalisation forcée de populations dans de nouvelles habitations fournies par l’État. Le processus comporte son lot de difficultés pour les familles déplacées […]

Le projet de recherche consiste en une étude sur l’émergence d’un phénomène novateur dans l’aménagement des villes, spécifiquement dans le contexte vietnamien. Caractérisé par des actions et interventions citoyennes, l’urbanisme Do it yourself réinterprète actuellement la manière de concevoir et de bâtir l’urbain. Or le mouvement reste peu étudié dans les pays du Sud; encore […]

Universities transnationally have tried to minimize reports by female students of sexual abuse on campus. In 2014, the Canadian media uncovered a Facebook group formed by students of the Dalhousie University where sexist content was regularly posted. A report on the case argued that: the situation was not unique to the university, the faculty’s culture […]

Mentorina is launching an intelligent learning system that helps teachers observe, measure, and improve each student’s individual performance in the classroom. Teachers can design individualized assignments or exams and through cognitive and metacognitive assessments, they can accurately measure how quickly students are learning the material and can determine each student’s level of comprehension. Through an […]

The focus of this project is to explore how livelihoods are affected when changes in ecosystem services within the Miyun watershed occur. Rural households depend on ecosystem services that the landscape provides for their livelihoods. If the availability of these resources were to change, a person’s livelihood may become more vulnerable. Determining possible ecosystem service […]

The goal of this project is to create a statistical model to forecast the future price of steel, which will rely on sector indexes and material prices. We will identify which variable has the most explanatory power. Multiple models will be created to identify the one that performs best. In order to increase the accuracy […]

Les milieux humides sont des écosystèmes particulièrement fragiles aux activités anthropiques et qui abritent une importante biodiversité. La mise en place de stratégies régionales de conservation reste limitée par la disponibilité de l’information quand à la répartition des espèces au sein des sites. L’objectif du projet est de développer des modèles prédictifs de la diversité […]

Almost half of the world’s population cooks with highly polluting stoves and household air pollution (HAP) is one of the leading environmental risks for global health. Current efforts to reduce HAP have focused on improved cook stove and/or fuel interventions. However, most previous stove interventions failed to achieve reductions in air pollution exposures due to […]

Le projet consiste à produire, à partir de résidus organiques, des larves d’insectes pour la transformation en farines riches en protéines et en lipides, destinées à l’alimentation des animaux d’élevage. L’efficacité de la production de larves d’insectes selon différents types d’alimentation (mélanges composés de différentes proportions de résidus d’épicerie et de drèches de microbrasserie) sera […]

Many individuals who have severe disabilities or who have suffered traumatic injury are unable to move or speak, and hence, unable to communicate with their family and caregivers. The physiological systems of these individuals are typically functional and can change to reflect the unexpressed mental and emotional states of these otherwise non-communicative persons. In this […]

The next generation of engines will needs to comply with increasing stringent pollutant emissions legislation. These engines will also have to be able to accept a wide range of gaseous fuel composition and have the capability to operate on liquid fuel either for emergency backup or for full baseload operation. Additionally, they will need to […]

The majority of individuals (80% of the population) have been infected with polyomavirus BK (BKV), but are asymptomatic or have only endured mild symptoms. The virus then resides in the kidneys where it persists in a dormant state for the life of the individual. The virus can, however, become reactivated in the case of deep […]
