The project uses a comparative perspective to understand the role of public policies, mainly asylum and integration policies in shaping refugee educational and occupational aspirations. This is particularly interesting to explore in in the context of two countries with different educational systems. On one hand, Switzerland is a country that relies on its highly developed […]

Bearings are typically located in the heart of all rotating applications, with rotational speeds, forces, and vibrations impacting them somehow. Due to various reasons, such as fatigue, bearings encounter abrupt operation failure that damages surrounding components. In some applications, such as wind turbines and high-speed trains, it is expensive to replace the bearing and other […]

Dans une perspective de développement durable, une meilleure connaissance des milieux aquatiques du Nord du Canada est essentielle pour assurer la protection de l’environnement et la conservation de la biodiversité. Comme le territoire nordique est vaste et dépourvu de réseau de transport terrestre, l’imagerie satellitaire pourrait être un outil optimal pour décrire et inventorier la […]

COVID-19 and Influenza virus disease (the flu) are both deadly respiratory diseases. Despite the availability of flu and COVID-19 vaccines, these diseases still pose a serious threat to human health, because different types of their strains are in circulation. In addition to the need of urgent production of both COVID-19 and influenza universal vaccine, development […]

One of the goals of environmental management and sustainable development is to secure adequate water quality in rivers and lakes. Many researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders have been trying to contribute to this goal effectively. Gathering water quality data is vital to understand changes in rivers and lakes better. Two major approaches for water quality monitoring […]

Currently, drug delivery systems used in clinical applications are limited to liposome and polymer-based systems. Although these methods have been shown to be sufficient for most applications, they have limited targeting of specific areas in the body and have a low effectiveness for efficient drug administration. To compensate, higher and multiple dosages are required, drastically […]

Composite structures are very popular in industries due to their lightweight and high strength. They degrade and cause huge economic losses or even serious disasters. Structure health monitoring has a great significance in the operation and maintenance of industrial assets. Current commercial software for structural health monitoring uses traditional and common methods which are only […]

This project will require the intern to identify new marketing opportunities and consumer preferences to support campaign creations. Additionally, they will set specific marketing objectives that align with the overall company direction goals. The intern will also develop and maintain digital campaigns to increase web traffic, conversion rate, and customer touchpoints within this research project. […]

Je compte m’intéresser dans le cadre de ce stage de recherche aux rapports que sont susceptibles d’entretenir l’esthétique et l’écologie dans le contexte des sociétés capitalistes avancées. Ma question directrice sera plus précisément la suivante : comment l’œuvre d’art peut-elle agir, d’une part, comme critique du comportement rationaliste de domination de la nature qui culmine […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à comprendre les relations familiales adoptives internationales à la suite d’un contact informel avec la famille biologique et ce, selon le point de vue des personnes adoptées et de leurs parents adoptifs. En utilisant une approche qualitative, six à huit familles composées des personnes adoptées et de leurs parents adoptifs […]

In order to achieve breakthroughs in the understanding and development of materials, new and advanced analysis methods are crucial. Especially, looking at the µm to atomic scale, which is still challenging, helps to understand fundamental mechanisms behind macroscopic phenomena. This understanding, in turn, can help to improve manufacturing processes and in the design of new […]

L’évolution de la résistance aux antimicrobiens est une crise sanitaire émergente qui menace notre capacité à contrôler les infections bactériennes. Les progrès dans les traitements médicaux dépendent de notre capacité de lutter contre les infections au moyen d’antibiotiques. Plus précisément, ce projet se concentrera sur la protéine dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS, E. coli folP), qui est […]
