In the context of an increasingly globalized world, short-term international student exchanges have been championed as a method for enhancing students’ cultural competence and building international partnerships. Despite their positive potential, these partnerships also take place between countries and institutions with colonial and imperial histories which can complicate and possibly undermine the outcomes for local […]

In line with Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the intergenerational impacts of colonialism influence the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples. In response, culturally relevant programs, which focus on building the strengths of a community have been shown to be effective and sustainable. Indeed, a peer-led, resilience-based afterschool program, the Aboriginal Youth Mentorship Program (AYMP), […]

This research presents a conceptual model of the geography of capacity and explores, through a small-scale study, the experiences of capacity across the nonprofit sector at the individual, organizational and community level in three different locales in Canada. By identifying the varied nonprofit capacity needs in different socio-economic and geographic locations, and by examining how […]

This project examines the peer review process of a leading Canadian academic journal focused on international development, with the goal to better understand how research knowledge is made accessible and relevant – or not – for policy makers and practitioners. The intern will analyze systematically the texts of submitted articles, comments provided by the scholars […]

The Arctic environment is changing rapidly, and this change may influence the health of organisms that live there, such as belugas. In periods of low sea ice extent, belugas in the Beaufort Sea showed altered expression genes involved in various aspects of health. Further, polychlorinated biphenyls, contaminants of concern, were also associated with altered gene […]

Suétone fut le biographe des Césars. Ses écrits historiques dressent un portrait personnel et unique de chacun des Julio-Claudiens et des empereurs qui leur succédèrent. Certains Julio-Claudiens, tel que Caligula et Néron, ont une réputation sulfureuse, en partie pour deux raisons. Les deux ont été frappés de la damnation de la mémoire (une action politique […]

This research aims in utilizing agriculture wastes in production of sustainable eco-friendly construction materials for farms building. The mechanical and durability performance of the proposed eco-friendly construction material exposed to the aggressive agriculture environment will be evaluated. The research will investigate the effects of different factors mainly related to physical properties of used wastes and […]

Catalytic selective hydrogenation is a method that can be used in reaction chemistry to selectively increase the amount of desired product that is formed after a reaction. This ultimately increases the efficiency of a reaction and decreases operation costs, providing significant theoretical and industrial value. However, within catalytic selective hydrogenation, research regarding oxides-modified noble metal […]

Les camélidés partagent certaines caractéristiques anatomiques et physiologiques avec les ruminants. Bien que les camélidés aient une particularité microbienne telle que la présence d’un type de protozoaire spécifique à eux ‘’type B’’ et un genre spécifique nommé Butchlia permettant une meilleure digestibilité des fourrages par rapport aux protozoaires ‘’type A’’ chez les ruminants, on dispose […]

Le monde agricole québécois est à la recherche d’alternatives écologiques aux produits phytosanitaires conventionnels dont l’utilisation massive provoque des effets négatifs sur l’environnement et la santé humaine. Dans cette optique-là, le projet Mitacs propose d’étudier le potentiel antifongique et herbicide de liquides produits par pyrolyse de biomasse lignocellulosique. La pyrolyse est un procédé qui décompose […]

La première expérience de jeu (les premières 60 à 90 minutes) est déterminante, car c’est durant cette période que le joueur décide s’il aime le jeu, s’il désire continuer à jouer, et s’il peut le maîtriser. Relativement à l’apprentissage du jeu, le jeu propose un tutoriel visant à habileté le joueur au regard des principales […]

Oxide materials have many interesting properties, in particular in the field of sustainability sciences. The Hosono group at the Tokyo Institute of Technology is world leading in synthesizing novel oxide materials with very interesting electronic properties with potential applications in the fields of superconductivity, catalysis and optically transparent electrodes for photovoltaics or displays. I will […]
