The current reforms in public administration are intended to be the culmination of the move to implement digital government. Those reforms were already informing the implementation process some twenty years ago. However, since the first «e-government», the context has undergone significant changes. The use of clouds, biometric data, as well as the increasing use of algorithms in automated procedures all raise the issue of data protection, both public and private. While the focus is on the technical and administrative dimensions of these changes, their legal framework remains problematic. The choice of legal instruments reveals a preference for soft law as a regulatory tool in preference to legislation. While this preference is standard in the field of public policy, it warrants nonetheless the enhanced protection of citizens' rights and makes the case for the use of robust legislation in the place of administrative instruments. Despite the increasing use of legislation, the absence of a framework law leaves many issues unresolved from a legal perspective.

Considered informal from a western perspective, Nunavik's cabins mark the evolution of a way of life inherited from Inuit tradition and reveal a know-how rich in solutions to the communities' housing crisis. Composed of objects and materials that are mostly recycled, diverted or acquired randomly, these cabins are ingeniously deployed on the tundra in a way that is as admirable as the resilience of their builders. In terms of architecture, two questions stand out: how are these cabins built and how could a better understanding of their composition enrich a shared vision of northern architecture? The meeting with local self-builders and the in situ observations of cabins along the Salluit Fjord (Nunavik) in August 2018 suggest a tangible response addressing both the conceptual and constructive processes of the cabins. Formulated as a reflexive feedback on these encounters and observations, this article proposes a reading of the tundra cabins through a “graphic deconstruction” of their components. By studying each of the elements layer by layer, this process opens the perspectives of a detailed understanding of the making, the occupation and the transformation of the cabins. Finally, the study proposes a categorization of the various types of cabins found in the Salluit fjord. By their respective characteristics, these types reflect the variations of a relationship to the land that is still key to the culture of Nunavimmiut.

This paper reviews and summarizes the available literature on Haitian mental health and mental health services. This review was conducted in light of the Haitian earthquake in January 2010. We searched Medline, Google Scholar and other available databases to gather scholarly literature relevant to mental health in Haiti. This was supplemented by consultation of key books and grey literature relevant to Haiti. The first part of the review describes historical, economic, sociological and anthropological factors essential to a basic understanding of Haiti and its people. This includes discussion of demography, family structure, Haitian economics and religion. The second part of the review focuses on mental health and mental health services. This includes a review of factors such as basic epidemiology of mental illness, common beliefs about mental illness, explanatory models, idioms of distress, help-seeking behavior, configuration of mental health services and the relationship between religion and mental health.

Very little is known about Canadian librarians who sit on Research Ethics Boards (REBs) or Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). There is some background information on various roles of librarians on REBs, but that is usually from the perspective of one or two authors and often relating to the health sciences. Librarianship continues to evolve, especially in the areas of research data management, research support, and scholarly communication. It is, therefore, important to understand the changing expectations and responsibilities that librarians may have in Canada in order to encourage and support them as they meet institutional needs. This exploratory case study will document the reasons that motivate Canadian librarians to sit on REBs, the training they have received, the benefits achieved, and their overall experience.

This essay discusses the technological arms race that has developed in response to academic cheating. The author highlights three technological advances that impact academic integrity, from oldest to newest: a) text-matching software, b) online exam proctoring software, and c) artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs). This essay argues that there is no “silver bullet” to preventing or investigating academic misconduct and that our ethical obligations for learning, teaching, and assessment must include a human focus to promote student success.
