Socio-emotional skills are crucial for developing satisfying relationships; failure in this domain can have significant consequences for well-being across the lifespan such as bullying, social anxiety and isolation. However, no well-validated socio-emotional assessments exist, limiting our ability to effectively intervene. The Paediatric Evaluation of Emotions Relationships and Socialisation (PEERS) battery was developed by the Australian […]

The perception of external stimuli is traditionally considered to result solely from the processing of thalamic signals through direct cortico-cortical connections between areas organized in a hierarchical manner1. In this corticocentric view, the potential role of higher-order (HO) thalamic nuclei that are reciprocally connected to cortical areas is not considered. The main objective of this […]

Neuromorphic computing is an approach to artificial intelligence (AI) that uses hardware elements inspired by the components of the brain and presents an alternative to the dominant von Neumann computing paradigm based on digital hardware. Recently, nano-scale devices known as memristors have been identified to offer area- and energy-efficient solutions when used in neuromorphic computing […]

Data acquisition at scale implies missing values: in the biological signals as well as in the demographics and questionnaire data. These missing values are structured –missingness appears as blocks– and often causal –more missing health information for lower income individuals. While there are many works on the treatment of missing values in the clinical trial […]

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease that causes skeletal muscle degeneration. As the disease progresses, the affected individuals lose their ability to breathe and walk. Currently, there is no definitive cure for this disease. Previous research found CD82, a protein expressed on the surface of skeletal muscle cells, to be decreased by 2.5 […]

Internationalization is a key aspect in strategic planning of most of top universities across the globe. This proposal aims to collect documents and observe (institutional ethnography methodology) two winter courses promoted by the “Universidad Nacional del Litoral” (UNL, Argentina). Winter courses are a milestone in the internationalization process of the UNL and interestingly they are […]

To share music with others can prove to be a challenge. Throughout time, humans have managed in different ways. First, it was transmitted orally. The downside of it is that the receiver must be physically present in order to capture the information. With the apparition of musical notation around 1400 BC, the previous requirement is […]

Selon les théories développementales du risque suicidaire, les évènements précoces (début de la vie) peuvent avoir un impact considérable sur le risque suicidaire à long terme. Ce projet contribuera à la compréhension de l’impact des facteurs précoces sur les comportements suicidaires à l’adolescence en utilisant des techniques novatrices de machine learning sur les données de […]

Different states’ laws and law enforcement capacities meet in border areas. The legal and regulatory differences, the distinct police and administrative capabilities involved, as well as the degree of commitment of state authorities, create rent potentials that are central to border dynamics and the frequent instability that prevails in border regions. This has been traced […]

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’analyser le poids d’acteurs supranationaux dans la mise à l’agenda de politiques nationales d’éducation, qui demeurent une prérogative étatique. Comment les pratiques d’acteurs supranationaux influencent-elles la mise à l’agenda de politiques nationales?? Afin de répondre à cette question, cette recherche se concentre sur l’influence des pratiques de l’OCDE (Organisation de […]

À l’heure actuelle, les musées se voient contrés à innover avec dans leurs pratiques de médiation avec les technologies numérique. Dans cet élan pour concevoir des alternatives adéquates en lien avec les publics et les objectifs de chacune de ces institutions, des laboratoires d’incubation de projets en médiation numérique destinés à accueillir des initiatives muséales […]

This project revisits Canadian and imperial history, seeking to understand the relationship between constitutions, settler colonialism, and globalization, which shaped and continues to shape Canada and the world. Understanding them in this era of populism and nationalist governments is particularly urgent. Constitutions remain central to liberal democratic self-understanding and critically reexamining their spread among British […]
