This research examines how doctoral students in medicine search for the information they need to complete their thesis. A questionnaire and semi-directed interviews were used to collect data from doctoral students in medicine at the Health Sciences Training and Research Unit in Burkina Faso. Analysis of the results indicates that digital resources are more used than printed ones. The most important barriers for students are: direct costs for accessing information, that is, the fees required to order scientific articles (economical barriers); power cuts, unstable Internet connections and limited resources in university libraries (environmental barriers); time constraints (situational barriers); scarcity of scientific medical literature in French and of reports on research conducted in Africa (barriers related to source characteristics). Our results show, however, thanks to their resourcefulness and creativity, that students find strategies to overcome some of these barriers.

Several variables can be manipulated to deliberately complicate an additive comparison problem. In this article, we attempt to determine if 1) congruity between the writing of numbers and the relationship expressed and 2) the appearance of a proportional relationship between numerical values, are variables to consider when designing such problems. To test the effect of these variables on success rates and on the problem solving strategies adopted, we recruited 272 university students, who were invited to solve additive comparison problems. From the literature, we selected two problems for which the success rates were particularly low. We then developed a modified version of these problems, within which only the numerical values varied. We performed one analysis per problem and compared the success rate for the two versions. Our results indicate a significantly lower success rate for the original problems. The analysis of answers reveals that we were able to manipulate numerical values to curb the formation of incorrect intuitive judgments.

This article investigates the link between top management team (TMT) features and dynamics and the process of hypergrowth. The combined approaches of upper echelons theory and Penrose's theory of the growth of the firm give rise to a theoretical framework which predicts an inversion of the relationship between TMT and hypergrowth as a result of collective learning. The analysis of the case of a young high-growth firm yields an illustration of the conceptual frame and reveals that learning takes place at a high psychological cost when the firm grows at a particularly rapid pace. The case results also suggest that the diversification of functional experience inside the TMT follows a sequential pattern.

SummaryThe development of a student professional portfolio in the Occupational Therapy Program at the University of Ottawa was guided by the obligation for occupational therapists to use a portfolio in their daily practice and the need to give a sense of responsibility to students in relation to their studies. A research-action methodology was chosen to conceive the portfolio and its contents, to facilitate its application, and to assess its use in a numerical format. The results of the research support the simplicity of the content and its organisation, a procedure for guided use and a beginner level numerical format. According to the authors, a professional portfolio can be a very interesting learning tool, however, particular attention must be directed to the numerical format so that it does not hinder students' reflection and learning.

This article aims to understand how alternative communication models, such as street marketing, affect the user experience of public officials in a covid-19 context, based on the case of Cameroon. The pilot sample comprises ten (10) public officials interviewed in ten (10) public organizations using the semi-structured interview technique. The results of the manual and automated content analysis (via Nvivo 10) underline that street marketing, through aspects linked to product distribution and public dialogue, brings substantial benefits in terms of user experience in the environment studied. In this dynamic, user experience is translated from two angles: through behavioral experience on the one hand, and positive emotional consequences on the other. In this context, research has shown that operational street marketing maneuvers in the public sphere, in the context of Covid-19, have an impact on the strategic and organizational functioning of structures, by increasing the leverage of population protection and the reinforcement of barrier measures in the context of Covid-19. In addition, certain managerial aspects such as participation, the promotion of freedom of expression, solidarity and better organization functioning are public values unveiled in this framework and which contribute to improving the socio-security efficiency of public structures in terms of relational proximity between the State and citizens in terms of public health.

Marked by decades of conflict, peace remains fragile in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly in the eastern Kivu provinces. Since schools constitute an appropriate environment to transform the persistent culture of violence, this article examines the attitudes of 1 642 secondary school teachers in Goma and Bukavu toward peace education. Regarding Civic and Moral Education (indirect peace education), teachers are optimistic, though the curriculum presents peace in an abstract manner. The acceptance of corporal punishment also remains concerning. Direct peace education addressing recent conflicts is more divisive: While most support it, teachers in Goma show reluctance because of persisting insecurity. When to introduce direct peace education, if ever, then becomes a central question.
