Disparition et formes de vie: étude sur le geste de disparaître et ses possibles dans la littérature et les arts actuels

Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre de ma cotutelle de thèse. Intitulée «Disparaître autrement. La disparition comme geste, et son rapport aux formes de vie dans la littérature et les arts actuels», ma thèse s’intéresse à un corpus tant littéraire qu’artistique, et s’appuie sur un édifice théorique principalement philosophique. Je cherche à analyser […]

Impact of parental cognitive sensitivity on at-risk children’s empathy development

The objective of this study is to explore how cognitively sensitive parenting fosters the development of children’s empathy in at-risk children. To date, there is some research that suggests that the parent-child relationship contributes to the development of empathy in children. Parents who exhibit cognitive sensitivity promote mutual and positive interactions, adjust their behaviour according […]

Intersectionality and career decision-making in young Chinese women studying in Canada

I propose a qualitative inquiry about the factors that influence female Chinese international students’ decisions to return to work in China or remain abroad. I will create a semi-structured interview intended to discover what themes emerge for these women through this experience and the important factors in their decisions. Although there is existing research on […]

Applications of Blockchain for Cross-Border Deposits in the Finance and Banking Sector

Blockchain technology changed how e-payments work and opened the door for development of advanced and secure e-payment systems. Currently, cryptocurrency is the only well-known, successful application of blockchain technology. However, the application of blockchain technology is not limited to cryptocurrencies. Many distributed ledger technology experts discussed the benefits of applying blockchain in many sectors such […]

Attitudes, beliefs and knowledge of Canadian physicians and patients towards medical cannabis 18 months after the legalization of cannabis in Canada

Recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of medical cannabis (MC) to treat certain conditions like chronic pain. However, surveys conducted before 2018 have revealed that physicians were more reluctant than patients to use MC. According to physicians, a major barrier to the use of MC was insufficient information. In this project, we want to describe […]

An in vitro Platform of Antigen-Presenting Cells to Evaluate Critical Quality Attributes in Vaccine Formulations

Sanofi-Pasteur is developing new vaccine formulations that need to be evaluated on their efficacy and potency. Traditionally, the use of animal models to predict human immunity has been accepted as the best way to select vaccine formulations. However, animal models can be costly and time-prohibitive, and the assays employed to assess vaccine efficacy and potency […]

Perceptions of autism, culture, and personhood from parents of children with autism and from colleagues delivering services to children with autism

Values, attitudes, and beliefs regarding disabilities vary across cultures and within cultures and these factors have an impact on the perspectives of the child’s parents and prioritizing their needs. Although Korea was greatly influenced by Western countries in special education, it has a relatively short history compared with other developed countries. Research found that autism […]

Non-invasive brain stimulation enhanced motor learning and resting state functional connectivity in typically developing children and children with perinatal stroke

How non-invasive brain stimulation works is poorly understood. Advanced neurotechnologies are providing new opportunities to explore transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) mechanisms. Ironically, the developing brain is more “plastic” and highly capable of change, yet tDCS mechanisms are almost exclusive to adults. Though treatment options are limited, we recently demonstrated for the first time that […]

Quantum autoencoder as storage device

The Quantum Autoencoder was proposed as a device which can compress quantum states efficiently. One possible application on near term quantum devices would be the compression of quantum data in order to protect it from decoherence effects. The compression however, also introduces noise to the quantum states so that it will not always be beneficial […]

The cultural identity in the Buddhist thought of modern China and Japan — taking the Buddhist reform movement of Taixu rabbi as the research object

The outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War undoubtedly made Master Taixu’s Buddhist Movement Renovation a mirage. The Japanese Buddhists have turned to believe that the cruelty of the war lies in China’s tenacious resistance. The staged achievements of the “East Asian Buddhist Conference” have also been declared bankrupt. The purpose of this lesson is to use […]

The Physical Conditions of Gas In Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies

The single most important factor in determining a star’s brightness, evolution and ultimate fate is its mass. For this reason, the determination of many intrinsic galaxy properties – including star formation rate – must assume an initial distribution of birth masses for stars. If we are to develop a general theory for star formation in […]
