Utilisation et valeur de la représentation devant public en danse au troisième cycle du primaire

In 2001, following the curriculum reform, a second generation of dance programs was implemented (Gouvernement du Québec, 2001, 2003, 2007). While performing in front of an audience is prescribed in the programs for secondary education (Gouvernement du Québec, 2003, 2007), it is almost absent from the program for primary education (Gouvernement du Québec, 2001). Furthermore, there is little empirical research in the field of in-school dance teaching in Quebec, and none tackle the use of performance is this context. However, many teachers use it intuitively to promote students’ learning. Thus, enlightened by theoretical marks from models of didactic transposition theory, the creative process, the relevance systems theory and the identity construction in dance teachers in the school environment, we aim at understanding how performance is implemented, in dance, in Quebec’s schools, for kids from 5th to 6th grade.    To do so, we used observation, audio recording and interviews to collected data from two in-school dance teachers and fifty-four of their students from 5th to 6th grade, while they were creating dances which would be performed in front of an audience. We were then able to extract thirteen themes representing the teachers’ and students’ experience of creating dances to be performed in front of an audience, and we developed a draft of a model of the process of preparing a performance.

Frequent translation strategies used by Iranian translators in subtitles to translate metaphors

Metaphor, as a means of communication that determines the basic structures of language, is currently one of the most important issues in the field of translation studies, especially its translatability. In fact, the indirect nature of metaphors is a problem that needs to be addressed in respect to the transfer of culture from one language to another one. An overview of the literature that explores different theories and approaches in the field of Translation Studies proposes a way to make metaphor translation possible. This study examines the translation of metaphors from Persian to English subtitles. It also highlights approaches and strategies for the translation of linguistic metaphorical expressions as proposed by Newmark (1988).   By using authentic examples from two source texts (two well known Persian films) along with their English translations, this study illustrates how Iranian translators translate metaphorical expressions using Newmark’s seven proposed strategies. It also shows how certain elements (i.e. translation difficulties) have influenced their decisions and supports the hypotheses in which reproducing the same SL image in the target language and deletion, respectively, are the most frequent and the least frequent strategies used by Iranian subtitlers.

La perception des parents non gardiens de leur lien avec leur enfant dans un contexte où les conflits parentaux perdurent à la suite de la séparation conjugale

It is known that many children are living with parents who are conjugally separated. With this in mind, following the separation the children mostly live with their mother (resident parent), while maintaining contact with their father (non-resident parent). Although the principles of law suggest that the child has the right to maintain ties with both parents after marital separation, these visits are not always done on a daily basis and the qyality of their relationship can be affected. Living the separation of his parents, the child may be exposed to parental conflict because the separation can increase their intensity.    The objective of this thesis is to better understand the perception of the non-resident parents and their relationship with their child in a context where parental conflict persists after marital separation. A fundamental objective is to document the factors that influence the relationship between non-resident parents and their children after the marital separation. In order to achieve these objectives, eight non-resident parents were interviewed using individual, semi-directive interview techniques. An analysis of the thematic content pertaining to their perspective on this research subject was then conducted.   From the perspective of the non-resident parents, the results have shown that the quality of the relationship between them and their child remains positive. The most dominant factor is post-separation parental conflict. It appears they feed on other factors such as, child care arrangements and access rights. Also, the frequency of visits between the non-resident parents and their child, the child's attitude towards their non-resident parent, the parental involvement of non-resident parents and the parental relationship post-separation, all have an impact.

Étude du lien entre la collaboration enseignant-technicien en éducation spécialisée et l'adaptation sociale en classe des élèves ayant un trouble du comportement

In specialized classrooms for students showing behavioural disorders, the teacher and the paraeducator are encouraged to work together in collaboration so they can support the social and scholar adaptation of the students with whom they strive everyday. However, despite the numerous advantages of working together for the success of the student, the interprofessional collaboration comprise a lot of challenges which, if they are not took up professionally, can affect the students. The goal of the research is to verify if there’s a link between the quality of the collaboration of those professionals and the social adaptation in specialized classroom of the students with behavioural disorders. A methodology based on a correlational approach has been used. Teachers responsible of this type of classes completed a questionnaire to evaluate the social adaptation of their students while paraeducators filled one to qualify the collaboration established in their educational duo. In total, 71 of these duos coming from 9 schools of the greater Montreal have participated to this study. Although the quality of the collaboration varies in a significant way depending on the professional duos, the results do not show any relation with the quality of the social adaptation of the students with whom they intervened. Therefore, according to this research, there is not significant link between the social adaptation of the student in class and the collaboration of the teacher and the paraeducator. Those results, opposite to our starting hypothesis, are discussed in the light of the scientific literature on this subject. The strength, the limits and the considerations for further research are also discussed.

A study of the large-scale structure of the wind of WR 134

Wolf-Rayet stars have been studied using various methods in order to understand the many physical phenomena taking place in their dense outflows. In the case of variability that is not strictly periodic or for epoch-dependant changes, the challenge is to observe for su fficiently long periods of time and with a high enough time sampling to be able to understand the underlying phenomena. During the summer of 2013, professional and amateur astronomers from around the world contributed to a 4-month campaign, mainly in spectroscopy but also in photometry, polarimetry and interferometry, to observe the fi rst 3 Wolf-Rayet stars discovered: WR 134 (WN6b), WR 135 (WC8) and WR 137 (WC7pd+O9). Each of these stars are interesting in their own way, showing a variety of stellar wind structures. The spectroscopic data from this campaign have been reduced and analyzed for the presumably single star WR 134 in order to better understand its behavior and long-term periodicity in the context of corotating interaction regions (CIRs) in the wind. The results of this study are presented in this thesis.

Effet de stress et compagnie, programme web de prévention du stress chronique, sur le stress et la santé psychologique des intervenants

Occupational stress is a major risk factor of trajectories leading to diseases (Taylor, Repetti, & Seeman, 1997) such as psychosomatic disorders, anxiety, depression and burnout. Moreover, health professionals and social workers seem to be more at risk of chronic stress and associated health problems (Felton, 1998). This seems due to the fact that they are at high risk of being stressed more often, emotionally exhausted and feeling devalued (Evans & al., 2006). In the same line of thought, workers of the Montréal-Centre Jeunesse – Institut universitaire (CJM-IU) represent a particularly vulnerable population. The main goal of this study is to test the implementation and effectiveness of the “Stress et Compagnie” program on chronic stress and associated mental health dimensions (anxiety, depression, burnout) in a sample of the population of CJM-IU workers. The hypothesis measured is that exposure to the program will effectively reduce the level of stress hormones, perceived stress levels, anxiety levels, depression and burnout in workers of the CJM-IU. “Stress et Compagnie”, developed by the Centre for Studies on Human Stress from the Institut Universitaire en Santé Mentale de Montréal, is based on recent discoveries in psychoneuroendocrinology. A quasi-experimental design was used with a control and experimental groups. The measures took place one week before the program, one week after and the last one-month later. Results show that the program tend to reduce chronic stress among the health professionals that haven't been exposed to a potential traumatic event in the last year.

«Pour l'amour de Dieu madame, n'annulez pas votre venue!» : la migration familiale au Nouveau Monde espagnol d’après les «Cartas privadas de emigrantes a Indias», 1540-1616

Spanish migration flows to the Americas in the early modern age can be divided into two separate phases: The first was predominantly male while the latter included a large number of women and children. Analysing the private letters from the Spanish Indies between 1540 and 1616, notably those exchanged between members of the same family, this thesis explores the daily and intimate lives of these male and female migrants. It also seeks to explain the origin and modalities of family migration, which reached its apogee between 1560 and 1620. A gendered analysis of the « Cartas privadas de emigrantes a Indias » sheds new light on the familial practice of correspondence, the underlying reasons for family reunions, and the agency of Spanish women in the building of this colonial society.

D’un système à l’autre : facteurs de risque d’incidence LSJPA chez les jeunes pris en charge en protection de la jeunesse en raison de troubles de comportement

Among children and youth who have been maltreated, several studies point to the elevated risk of developmental problems such as delinquency and justice system involvement. Presenting serious behavioral problems is a sufficient condition to receive child protection services (CPS) in the province of Quebec; this offers the opportunity to focus on this condition and on the role it may play or not in the subsequent risk of Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) involvement. The primary role of CPS is to end an abusive situation and to prevent its recurrence. However, a better understanding of the risk factors that lead to an YCJA involvement would help to identify and to adapt interventions for those at greatest risk of juvenile delinquency. The aim of this study is to describe the risk of an YCJA event after a first intervention of CPS due to behavioral problems, and to determine the individual and intervention related factors associated with this YCJA involvement. Administrative data from 16 youth centers in the province of Quebec has been used. Thus, all children and adolescents who have had their file closed after a first CPS intervention due to behavioral problems between January 1st 2005 and December, 31st 2009 were observed (N = 6,630). Survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier model) and Cox regression analyzes were performed. The results indicate that youths in the sample present a 39.7% overall risk of YCJA involvement within the 5-year follow-up period. Boys present a higher risk of YCJA involvement than girls, an unsurprising result. It also appears that the risk varies by gender and the presence of co-occurrence of maltreatment at initial report. Individual risk factors seem to have a greater impact on YCJA involvement than those associated with the CPS intervention. Moreover, recurrences of CPS due to behavioral problems but also because of new information related to child’s maltreatment are particularly important since they are strongly associated with future YCJA involvement. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.

Évolution spatio-temporelle du pergélisol alpin marginal au mont Jacques-Cartier, massif des Chic-Chocs, Gaspésie (Qc)

The objective of the study was to acquire detailed knowledge of the spatial evolution of the ground surface temperature (GST) on Mont Jacques-Cartier and the thermal response of its marginal permafrost body to the past and future climate changes. The study is based on temperature (GST, underground) and snow measurements, and spatial modeling of the potential GST distribution and numerical modeling of the ground thermal regime. The result showed that the spatio-temporal variability of the GST over the summit is mainly correlated with the snowpack distribution. On the wind-exposed plateau, the snowpack is thin and discontinuous. The GST is thus closely connected to the very cold air temperature in winter. In the krummholz patches and in the topographic depression on the leeward slope, drifted snow accumulation is significant leading to surface condition warmer than over the wind-exposed plateau. Because of the near snow-free condition of the plateau summit and the highly conductive nature of its bedrock, the response of the permafrost to the climate signal is rapid. From 1978 to 2014, the ground warmed at all depths. If the recent trend continues as predicted by the climate simulations provided by the Ouranos consortium, the complete disappearance of the permafrost body at Mont Jacques-Cartier could occur around 2040-2050.

La notion de bonne foi dans les immunités législatives au Québec : entre imprécision et redondance

Statutory immunities for good faith are an important piece of the specific rules governing the civil liability of public authorities. Enacted for the first time in the 1940s, they seek to instill in civil liability the special considerations specific to the administrative action (difficulty of their functions, discretionary power, freedom of action, etc.). However, the core concept of these immunities, good faith, is fragile. Torn between a subjective and an objective vision, the current good faith regime suffers from many deficiencies. Originally based on the evaluation of a person’ state of mind, good faith is now overlapping the concept of gross fault found in civil liability. This results in a system that creates confusion around the mental state required for a public administration to be liable. Moreover, the concept of good faith is variable and changes with the functions carried out by public authorities. These characteristics highlight the uselessness of the concept: good faith duplicates several features of Quebec civil liability, therefore weakening its position as a special rule applicable to public authorities. In short, given its adaptable nature, good faith is a decal of Quebec civil liability and its poor contribution confuses the rules of this area of law.

The management of innovation under ambiguity

Recent developments in decision-theory have shed light on the concept of Knightian Uncertainty, or Ambiguity. However, this apparatus is still not fully integrated in economic theory. This presentation argue that the analysis of innovation and Research and Developments will gain substantial insights by modelling these activities as decision-making under Ambiguity. The main subject of of interest of this paper is the allocation of the property rights of a discovery. The first part of the analysis draws on a paper of Aghion and Tirole, The Management of Innovation, where they look at the optimal allocation of the property rights between a Research Unit and its financier. Allowing for heterogeneous beliefs affects the level of effort of the two agents, the sharing rule of the revenue of a discovery and the allocation of property rights. The second part follows Savage's framework to model an innovation competition between multiple researchers. The presence of Ambiguity impacts the behaviour of the agents and the allocation of the property rights in a way that could not be captured assuming Risk.

Vers une science de la traduction? : contextes idéologiques, politiques et institutionnels du développement de la théorie linguistique de la traduction en Russie soviétique (1922-1991)

The research presented in this work focuses on the development of the Linguistic Theory of Translation as initially formulated by Soviet translators in the 1950s. The goal of this study is to analyse the particular evolution of translation scholarship in the Soviet era (1922-1991) in a context of political, ideological and institutional pressure and control. Besides, this work seeks to clarify the reasons why the Russian approach to translation became isolated from other theoretical developments in the field.  Based on Even-Zohar’s theory of literary polysystem and his analysis of the structure of literary systems, this thesis examines the various factors (producer, institutions, product, repertoire, market) whose changing configuration conditioned the development of the Linguistic Theory of Translation, as a product of a specific translation system within the Soviet literary polysystem.  Our analysis of the works of “canonical” theoreticians of the Russian linguistic approach to translation (Fyodorov, Retsker, Švejtser, Barkhoudarov, Komissarov) shows that the Linguistic Theory of Translation was the only theory that could survive the Soviet context of ideological pressure and total control of the communist regime.  These very factors, we also argue, explain the theoretical and institutional gap that separates the Russian Linguistic Theory from Western approaches to translation.

"Pour l'amour de Dieu": des missionnaires coréens à la rencontre des Anicinabek

This research aims to understand how the evangelization process works in the contemporary era characterized by globalization. It takes as a case study the missionary activities of an evangelical Korean church in an Anicinabe community located in Quebec (Abitibi). The analysis of a summer mission sequence recounts the encounter between two groups representing one for the other radical otherness: non Western youth who are not career missionaries meet Indigenous children and their relatives who are more familiar with Catholicism. On the missionaries’ side, the analysis reveals motivations, objectives, strategies employed and potential impacts of that timeless experience. On the Anicinabek side, it shows the variety of responses, including reception, mainly centered on the concept of healing, and limits of the desired reciprocity.

L’effet de la prothèse totale du genou sur la cinématique 3D : vers le développement de biomarqueurs mécaniques de la douleur

The total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis. This surgery has been proved to reduce pain, to improve knee function, and to be cost-effective. However, an important proportion of patients report insatisfaction, pain, and low articular function following the surgery. Moreover, even with this problem, the impact of the TKA on the tridimensional (3D) kinematics is not well understood.   Therefore, two studies have been undertaken with the purpose of using the 3D kinematics to understand the post-TKA pain syndrome. During the first study, 19 subjects, recruited on a TKA waiting list of two surgeons of the CHUM, Hôpital Notre-Dame, were prospectively followed to measure the evolution of their 3D knee kinematics. A control group of 17 subjects with normal knees has also been recruited. The second study has compared 20 subjects with knee pain post-TKA with 20 subjects without pain post-TKA.  The results of the first study tend to show an improvement in the frontal plan kinematics after the TKA toward the control group. However, the kinematics in the others plans still different of the control group. When the 3D kinematics of a group with pain is compared to a group without pain (second study), a biomechanical marker associated with pain was identified. The group with pain walk with a higher flexion contracture during the stance phase than the group without pain.   Those results show that the total knee arthroplasty has an impact on the 3D kinematics; however, this impact is not necessarily toward the control group. Moreover, some biomechanical markers can be associated with the knee pain following the TKA. This show that we still doesn’t really understand the impact of the TKA on the kinematics, and that a better understanding of this impact could allow the surgeons to improve their care to their patients before and after the surgery.
