Aujourd’hui, le marché mondial du chanvre est en plein essor. En Belgique, la valorisation de cette plante multi-usage se fait majoritairement sur la graine, la fibre, et la chénovette. Cette plante est caractérisée par un métabolisme secondaire produisant des molécules à hautes valeurs ajoutées (comme le cannabidiol ou CBD et le delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol THC). L’intérêt pour […]

La notion de vulnérabilité occupe actuellement une place majeure dans la recherche sur les enfants et familles en situation de précarité psychique, sociale et/ou financière. La vulnérabilité désigne étymologiquement la situation de celui qui « peut être blessé, frappé » (Dictionnaire Larousse). Brodiez-Dolino (2016) nous rappelle la nécessité de questionner la façon dont s’est construit […]

L’objectif du projet est d’étudier les enjeux psychologiques et éthiques de l’utilisation des tests génétiques par les personnes adoptées. Notre étude sera une étude comparative entre la France (où l’utilisation de tests génétiques direct-to-consumer est interdite) et le Canada (où cette pratique est autorisée). Lors de sa venue, la stagiaire réalisera une vingtaine d’entretiens de […]

Shock deformation is the common deformation type in the solar system, and olivine is one of the most abundant rock-forming minerals found in the planet’s basalts or mantle residuals. This project studied strained olivine under two distinctive deformation schemes, shock metamorphism and tectonism, by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). We will examine the subdomain misorientation induced […]

Recently, we calculated the rotational diffusivity of the coronavirus particle in suspension, from first principles, using general rigid bead-rod theory. We did so by beading the capsid, and then also by replacing each of its bulbous spikes with a single bead. Since the spikes are charged, we followed the well-known polyhedral solutions to the Thomson […]

I will be working at GrantMe, a high-growth start-up technology company that helps students win scholarships, get accepted to their top schools, and find the right career. My role includes managing sprint timelines and sprints progress, coordinating communication between design and development, building release assets for the GrantMe app, and leading community events such as […]

The internship will focus on improving the processes, systems, workflows, and procedures that our various departments use. The intern will be providing our organization with data-driven decisions to problem-solve and increase our team’s efficiency. They will work cross-functionally to enhance the workflow between departments and continue to look for areas to be improved. This will […]

This role is exciting as I now have the opportunity to work directly with an Educator & support them in achieving their targets. In my first placement I was training & building skills to be a successful SDR. This was a lot of shadowing, recordings & coaching. This time I have learned those skills and […]

As a current GrantMe intern, I am very excited that GrantMe has extended the opportunity for me to work in another internship over the summer to build new skills. I look forward to working in operations as this is unique to my current capacity and would allow me to take a data-driven approach to problem-solving […]

The term “cognitive trance” has been proposed to define a voluntary, self-induced modified state of consciousness that is abstracted from any ritual or cultural expression. A decrease in the perception of pain and an increase in the feeling of happiness have been reported during trance. The aim of this project is to better understand how […]

This project learns from the experience of participants in an eight-week Mind-Body Medicine program (MBM). Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) teaches people how to help themselves by uncovering and engaging their inner resources and building resilience, broadly understood. The eight-week MBM program will be delivered through the Iris Centre for Mindfulness, Peace and Healing in Fredericton. The […]

De nombreux conflits sont aujourd’hui envisagés sous l’aspect identitaire. Ainsi, chiite contre sunnite, Européen ou Occidental contre immigré, Baltiques européens contre Baltiques russes, etc. Pourtant, les littératures sur la sécurité d’une part et sur l’identité d’autre part se parlent très peu. L’objectif du présent projet est dès lors de faire dialoguer ces littératures afin de […]
