Introduction: Worldwide, there is an increased use of coercion in psychiatry, particularly through involuntary hospitalization or treatment. Like many other Canadian provinces, Quebec is no exception. However, the therapeutic outcomes of these measures are questioned when compared to voluntary care. Given the infringement of human rights and freedoms, coercion in psychiatry has been contested by many organizations, including the World Health Organization (2021). Human rights-based practices have been recognized as an important nursing role in Quebec. However, these practices are often informal and poorly documented in scientific literature. Objective: This article presents the research protocol of an interpretative phenomenological study that aims to understand the lived experiences of coercion and human rights-based practices in psychiatry from the perspectives of people living with mental health problems. Methods: This qualitative study uses an interpretative phenomenological analysis design developed by Smith et al. (2009). In depth, one-on-one interviews along with socio-demographic questionnaire will be conducted with approximately 10 participants. Data analysis will follow an iterative and hermeneutic emergence coding process. Discussion and conclusion: By centering human rights-based practices to the lived experiences of people living with mental health problems who encountered coercion, this study will highlight contributing and limiting factors to the recognition of human rights in nursing practices. This study will also promote the development of nursing knowledge and practices that can significantly contribute to individuals’ recovery process.

This study examined the effects of a collaborative writing sequence on vocabulary learning among French elementary school students. Two sixth grade groups participated in this quasi-experimental study. Each group completed two preparation sessions and three writing sessions preceded by the explicit teaching of five target words. Participants in the experimental group wrote in teams of four while those in the control group wrote individually. Participants’ target word knowledge was measured prior to and upon completion of the intervention. Results of an ANOVA analysis of variance revealed no significant difference between the two groups on target word knowledge following intervention. Our findings suggest that collaborative writing and individual writing both lead to similar acquisition of vocabulary. Strategies for promoting vocabulary acquisition in the classroom are discussed.

Entrepreneurship in remote areas is viewed as a way to diversify their economies. The objective is to move away from a vision centred on resource and workforce exploitation by industries with outside interests and whose activities contribute to increase local socioeconomic inequalities. Despite some public and private support initiatives for entrepreneurs, a number of constraints limit this support. This study aims to better understand the support required to pursue an entrepreneurial project in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. To achieve this, we use the different attributes making up the Spigel (2017) entrepreneurial ecosystem to analyze and interpret our interviews with various groups of entrepreneurs in the region. This shows, among other findings, that the support offered is not always suited to the needs of the region’s entrepreneurs and that there are attributes of the entrepreneurial ecosystem that remain to be developed.

The transactional stress model is one of the most recognized explanatory models. Through a double evaluation mechanism, this cognitive-phenomenological perspective proposes that the state of stress emanates from a mismatch between contextual demands and personal resources. Few thorough validations of the model have been made until now. This study proposes a verification of the full dynamic of stress in a professional context via a cross-sectional study of 420 teachers. The study seeks to verify the spillover effect underlying the transactional model as well as various mediating/moderating effects resulting from the intervention of certain individual characteristics. The results of the statistical analysis generally confirm the transactional perspective as an effective way to conceptualize work stress in educational context.

SUMMARYCanada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is actively involved in conducting research on demographic change and housing demand. Household projections are at the center of this research. To project households, CMHC uses the headship rate method, then applies projected ownership rates to split projected households into owner and renter groups. Selecting headship and ownership rates assumptions is one of many challenges encountered by CMHC in generating potential housing demand projections. CMHC is working with the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University to develop a cohort-based method for extrapolating headship and ownership rates. The method offers advantages over other approaches in that it recognizes differences between generations, provides a useful framework for analysis, and offers considerable flexibility in tailoring projection assumptions. Preliminary cohort-based potential housing demand projections show broad consistency with current low levels of housing market activity and point to continuation of some of the established trends in the past twenty years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted relationships between people in academia following the implementation of health measures. This study aims to better understand the reality experienced and expressed by undergraduate and graduate social work students during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. The qualitative research applies to a larger survey of 621 participants and is supplemented by quantitative research involving 90 social work students. The results show a negative emotional perception, caused by virtual teaching and work overload during this pandemic. The results of this study suggest a need for students support during periods of confinement, provide a caution concerning teaching methods, and raise concerns about how virtual learning may affect the quality of social work education.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the distribution of the woody flora and the spatio-temporal dynamic of the woody vegetation cover on the periphery of Waza National Park. The study was organized around two main complementary methods : (i) botanical inventories which made it possible to detect the organization and the structure of the woody vegetation ; (ii) the processing and analysis of satellite imagery (Landsat) with the aim of characterizing land use and its evolution between 1987 and 2016. The study reveals that woody species that are endangered in this area are more likely to outside the park and more particularly in home gardens, where the populations protect the few remaining individuals, given their importance. On the other hand, the spatial distribution of woody flora is a function of the anthropogenic pressure gradient. However, factors such as insufficient controls and high livestock carrying capacity on the periphery may result in illegal incursions into the park and the consequence may be the reversal of this gradient. The study also shows that Waza National Park and its periphery have lost an average of 478 ha of woody cover each year since 1987, and that the bare soil area increases by an average of 319 ha per year. Finally, it proposes a redefinition of zoning not only to bring it into line with the requirements of the biosphere reserves, but also to make the park management strategy more efficient.

As video-hosting websites attract more and more users of all ages (Barry et al. 2016; Sweeny 2009; Whitaker, Orman, and Yarbrough 2014), more educational research is acknowledging their importance and their influence in the domain of instruction and apprenticeship (Buzzetto-More 2015; Dougan 2014; Whitaker, Orman and Yarbrough 2014). YouTube, for example, has for several years been the subject of scientific studies and evaluations both on its level of use and its content (Kruse and Veblen 2012; Rudolph and Frankel 2009; Schumacher 2015; Waldron 2009, 2011 and 2013). If the results of these studies show a non-negligible added value, notably in the engagement of students, comprehension of the ideas, and their satisfaction (Buzzetto-More 2015), few researchers have considered the influence of the integration of these platforms into the pedagogical practice of teachers.This study looks at the modifications of the practices followed by musical instrument teachers in different music schools and institutions in French-speaking Switzerland, namely the integration of video platforms in their instruction. This qualitative research, based on about 30 semi-structured interviews and group interviews, shows modifications in teaching practice on several levels: activities suggested to the student, organization of space, types of pedagogical communication, evaluation, and pedagogical style. It illustrates that the pedagogical progression of a piano tutorial (“Le blues au piano et aux claviers, les bases pour bien débuter”) is essentially linear and these videos consider the learner as an epistemic subject. Finally, the study reveals, to teachers and students, the necessary competency required to successfully integrate this technology into classrooms and music studios.
