Since the creation of a health system financed by public funds and managed by the Ministry of Health, the Quebec health network has undergone numerous changes. For example, changes were made in early 2000 in order to improve the accessibility and continuity of healthcare available to Quebecers. Despite the concern of the Ministry to improve continuity of care, problems persist for people with complex health problems. Indeed, individuals struggling with comorbidity – e.g., with both physical and mental health problems – are more likely to experience discontinuities in their health care trajectories (i.e., discontinuity in their access to care), constituting an inadequate response to their needs. To understand the experiences of occupational therapists that serve such clients, an exploratory study was conducted. The purpose of this research was to explore perceptions of occupational therapists about continuity and discontinuity in the care trajectories of these clients. Occupational therapists identified the reasons which, in their opinion, explained the discontinuities in the trajectory of care individuals with complex health problems, and some of the negative consequences of these discontinuities; they also noted ways to improve the continuity of care for these clients. Taking into account the perceptions of occupational therapists is important in order to improve care for people with complex health problems.

There are many physician writers worldwide, but the ties that bind a health professional's experience to his/her fiction writing have been studied more extensively in the English-speaking Literary and Medical world than in its French language counterpart. Based on an examination of four novels written by a French physician writer, first published in 1989, and on an exclusive interview with the author, this paper addresses the ways throug which a caregiver's professional experience feeds his fictions and how they, in turn, carry the author's views of healthcare ethics.

As the four first Augustinians landed in New France in 1639, they quickly embarked upon the establishment of the first monastery-hospital north of Mexico. From the very beginning of their undertaking, they knew that they had arrived in a “new” land where everything was still to be constructed. They also maintained close contact with the Mères de France. In its archives, the monastery of the Hôtel-Dieu in Québec has also preserved an imposing correspondence with the French superiors of different monasteries, specifically that of Dieppe – the monastery responsible for the founding of the Canadian institution – but also those of Bayeux, Vitré, d'Auray and of Caderousse. These documents make it possible to understand how the French Augustinians perceived the specificity of their Canadian colleagues across the centuries. This microhistory shared between one continent and another has until recently remained within the shadows of Québec's religious historiography. This, although the relations between the Augustinians of France and those of Canada provide and interesting account of the creation of the distinct Franco-Catholic space on Canadian soil which emerged from a specific socio-historic development which in turn reveals the evolution of one of the religious communities at the origins of the country.

The activism of hedge funds fits into a different philosophy and approach from traditional activism. Hedge fund strategy consists of compelling directors and corporate officers through activist mechanisms (proxy fights, shareholder proposals, judicial remedies…) to put in place short-term profitability policies. The behaviour of hedge fund activists is topic of intense discussion. Many people point to the harmful consequences of such actions and their long-term effects on corporations, their stakeholders and the whole economy. However, it would be an overstatement to state that activism has only negative impacts. Experts stress its positive disciplinary effects over boards of directors and senior management. Several solutions are proposed by legislation to frame hedge fund activism : first, a strengthening the board of director's role through the increased competence of its members and an ongoing dialogue with shareholders ; and second, a framework for shareholder voting rights to better match their economic interest.

This article addresses the « American moment » question at the heart of this issue through Marcel Trudel's biographical trajectory, a major historian of the historiographical renewal of postwar Quebec. Based on a research in his private archives, it seeks to put into perspective his Harvard study stay between fall 1945 and spring 1947. This stay's historiographical interest is two-fold. First, it allows us to better understand a crucial period in Trudel's scholarly and intellectual itinerary, when it shifted from literature to history. Second, it gives us a privileged point of view on the broader American experience of the young Quebec's academics of the immediate postwar era. Our analysis demonstrates primarily how Trudel's stay at Harvard resulted in both a change of scenery and a cultural shock, reflective of a shifting relationship between Quebec and the US in the middle of the twentieth century.

Could the notion of vulnerability, which comes from care ethics, find its place in the refounding of managerial thinking? From new forms of work organisation that value relationships between persons rather than individual performance through the integration of this notion, there might emerge a humanist management promoting confidence and solicitude. A responsible approach challenging a managemental vision of human relationships and considering each person's singularity would result. The authority of the manager would thus find a new legitimacy through him or her showing more understanding and concern, enabling staff to progress.

We can synthesize the approaches of translation by means of two mythological figures: Hermes and Orpheus. The first is a metaphor of an hermeneutical translation which transposes the meaning, in other words it's a source-oriented translation. On the other hand, we find Orpheus, a figure that fumbles around in the darkness of form: it is a metaphor of a target-oriented translation. However, we can assume another type of translation, Apollo's translation: it's the mysterious way of recreation and revelation. We will explain those metaphors through four French translations of the first sonnet of Petrarch's Canzoniere: Louis Aragon, Gérard Genot, Yves Bonnefoy and Jean-Yves Masson translations.

This article deals with an experiment on integration of information and communications technologies conducted as part of a university research project involving a regular secondary-school French language-arts class. The article first explains the context in which the research was conducted and then analyzes three categories of difficulty that the teachers involved had to overcome. These difficulties related to managing the computer equipment, adapting teaching contents to the informatics medium, and the challenge to the teachers' own scientific training. Several concrete examples emerge from the analysis, illustrating what repeatedly harms teaching-and-learning of French, in both the usual teaching context and one in which computers were used as a support.
