The artist, from the French duo Art Orienté objet (Art Object oriented), shows in this text how lived experiences have gradually change her artistic approach in the search of an ever-increasing incorporation of the meaning. She recounts these experiences that range from biotechnological art with biopsy or skin culture, ethology and animal communication, anthropology with the shamanic initiation, and initiation to the Gabon Pygmies rites which consist in a Near-Death experiment, to finish with the biotech experience of self-injection of horse blood serum. These radical experiments, discussed here with an artistic point-of-view as much as a psychological and anthropological one, question frontally the concept of post-humanity through the notion of otherness. They propose an enlargement of human consciousness definition with an attempt to perceive the extra-human senses, the one of the animal in particular.

This paper offers an analysis of the modus operandi of the contemporary historical block while focusing on the issue of Internet governance. It develops a multidisciplinary theoretical framework inspired by the Critical Legal Theory and the Neo-gramscian perspective in order to show the significance of such a diffuse form of power which state-centered perspectives hide the subtlety of. It sheds light on the power that can be obtained from the regulatory control of communication systems, and of the instrumentalization of law in reproducing the social status quo favorable to dominant actors within the international system. It however argues that Internet not only reinforces the power of the dominant classes but also potentially empowers counter-hegemonic social forces.

Biostatistics is a hybrid discipline at the intersection of mathematics and biology. Compared with other scientific disciplines, such courses are relatively new and should be further adjusted to better fit the target audience, which is not highly familiar with mathematical formulation and is very skeptical about its usefulness. Our courses explored multimedia possibilities in order to make the concepts more accessible and the students more independent. We describe here the environment in which self-learning can be maximized. The teaching contract was also redefined in response to changes in the division of responsibilities between teachers and learners induced by this tool.

This article defines the conditions of remixing by putting two very different musical approaches into conversation with one another. Attentive listening to the works Love (2006), by George Martin, and Frankenstein Symphony (1997) by Francis Dhomont allows us to test the following three hypotheses. Firstly, remixing is one mode in the thinking and practice of mixing; it is within this larger context that the significant operations and structuring ideas of this practice emerge. Secondly, the paradigm of the montage (cut, fragment, collage) is inadequate for understanding the relational logic of (re)mixing, which I will here be thinking of and framing in sonic terms (modulation, resonance, interference). Thirdly, the practice of (re)mixing is driven by the dynamic force of circulation and transmission of various modes of reception: those of the artist, the listener, and the theoretician. The manipulation of recorded sound therefore implies a structure of address, a pedagogy of perception, and an act of sharing.

Although autonomy and consent are proclaimed as major concepts of liberal democracy, heteronomy is still dominant in society, and alive in the standards, rules and controls in all professional activities. Professional autonomy is at the same time asked for and denied, counteracted. Advocacy for the promotion and defense of individual and collective autonomy of professional social work.

Inocybe is a large genus of fungi occurring across the globe, particularly in temperate and boreal regions. The identification of many of the species is notoriously difficult. Inocybe squalida C. Kaufholtz-Couture sp. nov. was discovered during biodiversity surveys in Québec (Canada). Its morphological characteristics and spermatic odour are typical of those of the genus Inocybe. Macroscopic characteristics include a pileus dissociated into small scales and fibrils. The lamellae, which have a rounded, sinuate to emarginate insertion, are yellowish at first, becoming olive brown due to the presence of spores. The stipe is non-darkening. Microscopic characteristics include hymenial cystidia (thick-walled sterile cells with apical crystals of calcium oxalate) and brown, triangular-shaped gibbose basidiospores. These are similar to those of the common species, Inocybe curvipes, and to those of lesser-known related species. A review of the Canadian and world literature, together with support from molecular analyses, confirm that Inocybe squalida is a species new to science. A detailed description of the species is provided, along with photographs, results of the molecular analysis of the ITS marker illustrated by a phylogenetic tree, and a discussion on its morphological and phylogenetic affinities.

The scientific article is a textual genre that is omnipresent in the academic community, which can take various forms according to the disciplinary field. Considering this, what are the characteristics of the scientific article in the domain of sciences of education? In order to answer the question, we analyzed seventy articles in French drawn from six Canadian scientific journals, focusing specifically on their communicational, textual, semantic, grammatical, and visual characteristics. It appears that some of these characteristics vary from one section to another. As such, it is therefore important when the objective is didactic to approach the scientific article like the sum of its parts rather than a monolithic block.

Mini-games have recently emerged in the literature on gamification as an affordable alternative to immersive serious games. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of the use of chemistry mini-games having a growing gamification on the performance, the self-confidence and the flow perceived by first year bioengineering students. Results indicate no effect on the first two parameters but show a positive effect on four dimensions of the flow. Given these mixed results, the conditions of an effective use of mini-games with undergraduate students are then discussed.
