La région cervicale constitue une zone anatomique particulièrement vulnérable lors d’accidents de la route, de chutes à grande vitesse ou de la pratique de sports de contact. Les patrons de blessures issus des mécanismes lésionnels sont dépendants d’une grande variété de paramètres. Parmi ces facteurs, la contraction musculaire permettrait la réduction de l’amplitude de mouvement de la tête et du cou et contribuerait ainsi à la rigidification de la zone cervicale. Pour élucider ces phénomènes, les modèles numériques de la tête et du cou intègrent des modèles de contraction musculaire de type Hill. Cependant ces mêmes modèles affichent des performances limitées lors de sollicitations à hautes dynamiques. La question qui se pose est donc dans quelle mesure, l’intégration des muscles cervicaux à l’aide d’un modèle …

Pays globalement peu protectionniste, le Canada est montré du doigt par ses partenaires commerciaux en raison de son industrie laitière sur laquelle il applique un droit de douane élevé afin de conserver fermé son marché laitier. En effet, avec l’avènement de l’Accord sur l’agriculture de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) en 1994, la politique commerciale de l’industrie laitière canadienne (appelée « système de gestion de l’offre », et qui lui permet d’appliquer un droit de douane très élevé à l’entrée de son marché laitier au-delà d’une certaine quantité) est jugée comme étant une mesure protectionniste, donc contraire à l’objectif principal de l’OMC qui est de promouvoir le libre-échange entre ses États membres. Depuis l’Accord sur l’agriculture, la gestion de l’offre est devenue la principale cible …

Learning health systems focus on secondary use of health data to improve point-of-service care, health administration, and scientific knowledge. This aim must be achieved within legal, ethical and existing governance frameworks. In Quebec, successful integration of such an approach depends on meeting key stakeholders' expectations regarding transparency, justice, equity and respect of autonomy. We present an aspect of the ongoing dialogue between the CLARET research group and the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC) on best practices of data access that respect First Nations principles.

Major digital players operate complex digital product and service offerings based on the development of portfolios of connected business models. However, the literature is limited in understanding how to strategically manage this type of portfolio. To fill this gap, by analyzing the cases of Apple, Google and Microsoft, we show that their business model portfolios can be strategically managed by implementing a specific architecture of connected business models. Our study thus contributes to a better understanding of how business model portfolios work in the digital sectors and highlights some key elements of their design.

The last decades have seen a growing trend for environmental conservation and natural and cultural patrimony preservation with the implementation of protected areas, notably through land-use planning and regulations. These zones can lead to conflicts on use as most protected areas are located in populated areas and requested by a variety of stakeholders. Therefore, it is likely that they will have different opinions depending on multiple political, environmental or cultural issues. For this purpose, this paper aims at studying users' social representations of protected areas, especially of the Grand site classé de l'Anse de Paulilles. Moreover, it strives to set the emphasis put in site management on patrimony and to evaluate if it constitutes a component of Paulilles' representation. Essentially methodological, this research wants to explore social representations' theory and observation and data analysis tools. Then, the study of the relation between social representations of a user group and the identification of the explicative variable has been realized by descriptive statistic. The results show that there is a correlation between patrimony and Paulilles' site representations, principally in function of age and place of residence. To conclude, this work put the emphasis on social representations theory's contribution in environmental science in order to better understand the point of view and thus, protected areas actors' behaviours and practices related to management objectives.

French property law is built on a myth, namely that of the existence of a closed category, numerus clausus, of rights in rem. Since 2012, the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) has however acknowledged the possibility that sui generis rights in rem can arise in respect of specific uses of an asset: “real rights of special enjoyment”. While these sui generis rights in rem have been much debated, it would appear that their potential application in a collective or even community ‒ context has received little academic attention. However, such a possibility would appear to exist. By granting a limited and restricted enjoyment of one or more use(s) of an asset, rights in rem of special enjoyment effectuate a sharing of the uses of the asset between different right holders. From a community perspective, this inclusion mechanism would then make it possible to acknowledge that each of its members has a direct right to the property while being, at the same time, a potential tool for the achievement of the Community's interests.

In this paper, we evaluate the potential effects of a customs union's creation among the UEMOA (West-African Economic and Monetary Union) countries. We develop a computable static and multi-country general equilibrium model to analyze the reform's impact in each country. Our simulation results highlight diversity in the gains and the required adjustment within the union members. The reform is welfare improving in almost every country, and it has a positive impact on regional and non-regional trade flows with redistribution of foreign savings within the Union Our results also point out trade-off between welfare gain and the loss of tariff revenues The complete removal of tariffs within the Union and the application of common external tariffs induce painful adjustments in government finances in many countries Classification JEL C68 F13 F15

In this article, the author builds her work on a research focused on living conditions, working conditions and conditions of struggles of the Philippine domestic workers subjected to the canadian Live-In Care Program to highlight the insufficiency of intersectional critics which – far from using knowledge of materialist feminism (extensive redefinition of labor and exploitation) – by-pass the problem of « unfree labor », that is that of irreducible modes of exploitation in capitalism. As a counterpoint, the author defends the actuality of materialist feminism, the theorising of Colette Guillaumin especially, for the analysis of transitional forms of exploitation which can be observed in the domestic work's sector. The author supports, finally, the hypothesis of a reconstruction of « Sexage », which participates entirely of the dynamics by which Sex, Class, Race reorganise themselves today.
