Publisher: name: My University

description: A scoping review was conducted of the research over the last two and half decades on coach development opportunities (CDOs) for coaches in disability sport. Two research questions focussed the review: (a) What can be learned about the planning, delivery, or impact of disability sport-specific CDOs? And (b) What barriers and facilitators do coaches in disability sport encounter when accessing CDOs? The three-phase process of screening yielded 32 records out of the initial 1406 records found. These records explicitly related to learning activities or to pathways, preferences, perceptions, or experiences as they relate to learning and development of coaching within para/disability/adaptive sport, or as coaches with a disability; and these criteria across all sport settings, although 15 records were based in elite contexts. Twenty-six records were qualitative, five quantitative, and one mixed methods. Thirteen were conducted in Canada, 9 in the UK, and 6 in the USA. Eight records (6 UK, 2 USA, and 0 from Canada) corresponded to RQ1 about specific approaches to, and coaches’ opinions of CDOs. All records offered some insights into RQ2. In sum: (a) Research specific to assessing or evaluating specific disability sport CDOs is non-existent in Canada, (b) research about pathways for coaches with a disability is almost non-existent, (c) a wide range of CDOs of different lengths, content, and pedagogical approaches is optimal to meet the needs of two important groups of learners. First, for those already coaching disability, provide sport-specific, targeted CDOs; and second, for potential coaches, broader but comprehensive CDOs

description: Crop diversification of EuropeanAgriculture can support a transition towards more sustainable agri-food systems, mitigate climate change and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. However, crop diversification is hindered by barriers throughout the agri-food system. Such barriers should be removed through systems approaches and coordination of actors and efforts. This presentation was given at the AAB Conference "Intercropping for Sustainabilty" organised by H2020 project DIVERSify and ReMIX. The talk: - put “intercropping” into the context of crop diversification at large, given that all diversification options face similar challenges; - claim that fostering crop diversification requires considering simultaneously the different components of value chains and their interactions; - Present the cluster of the six H2020 projects that joined forces to address these challenges and shortly describe what they are doing together.

description: We present the discovery of the shortest-period, non-interacting, white dwarf-brown dwarf post-common-envelope binary known. The K2 light curve shows the system, EPIC 21223532 has a period of 68.2 min and is not eclipsing, but does show a large reflection effect due to the irradiation of the brown dwarf by the white dwarf primary. Spectra show hydrogen, magnesium and calcium emission features from the brown dwarf's irradiated hemisphere, and the mass indicates the spectral type is likely to be L3. Despite having a period substantially lower than the cataclysmic variable period minimum, this system is likely a pre-cataclysmic binary, recently emerged from the common-envelope. These systems are rare, but provide limits on the lowest mass object that can survive common envelope evolution, and information about the evolution of white dwarf progenitors, and post-common envelope evolution.

Dynamics of open quantum systems by interpolation of von Neumann and classical master equations, and its application to quantum annealing

description: We propose a method to interpolate dynamics of von Neumann and classical master equations with an arbitrary mixing parameter to investigate the thermal effects in quantum dynamics. The two dynamics are mixed by intervening to continuously modify their solutions, thus coupling them indirectly instead of directly introducing a coupling term. This maintains the quantum system in a pure state even after the introduction of thermal effects and obtains not only a density matrix but also a state vector representation. Further, we demonstrate that the dynamics of a two-level system can be rewritten as a set of standard differential equations, resulting in quantum dynamics that includes thermal relaxation. These equations are equivalent to the optical Bloch equations at the weak coupling and asymptotic limits, implying that the dynamics cause thermal effects naturally. Numerical simulations of ferromagnetic and frustrated systems support this idea. Finally, we use this method to study thermal effects in quantum annealing, revealing nontrivial performance improvements for a spin glass model over a certain range of annealing time. This result may enable us to optimize the annealing time of real annealing machines.

A machine learns to predict the stability of circumbinary planets

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Long-period circumbinary planets appear to be as common as those orbiting single stars and have been found to frequently have orbital radii just beyond the critical distance for dynamical stability. Assessing the stability is typically done either through N-body simulations or using the stability criterion first considered by Dvorak and later developed by Holman and Wiegert: a second-order polynomial calibrated to broadly match numerical simulations. However, the polynomial is unable to capture islands of instability introduced by mean motion resonances, causing the accuracy of the criterion to approach that of a random coin-toss when close to the boundary. We show how a deep neural network (DNN) trained on N-body simulations generated with REBOUND is able to significantly improve stability predictions for circumbinary planets on initially coplanar, circular orbits. Specifically, we find that the accuracy of our DNN never drops below 86%, even when tightly surrounding the boundary of instability, and is fast enough to be practical for on-the-fly calls during likelihood evaluations typical of modern Bayesian inference. Our binary classifier DNN is made publicly available at https://github.com/CoolWorlds/orbital-stability

description: Banks' performance is an important topic for both professionals and researchers. Given the important literature on this subject, this paper aims to bring an up-to-date and organized review of literature on the determinants of banks performance. This paper discusses the main approaches that molded the debate on banks performance and their main determinants. An in-depth understanding of these latter may allow on the one hand, bank managers and regulators to improve the sector efficiency and to deal with the new trends shaping the future of their industry and on the other hand, academicians to enrich research and knowledge on this field. Through the analysis of 54 studies published in 42 peer-reviewed journals, we show that despite the importance of the existent literature, the subject of bank performance factors did not reveal all its secrets and still constitute a fertile field for critical debates, especially since the COVID-19 and the increasingly pressing rise in power of digital transformation and artificial intelligence in general and FinTechs in particular. The study concludes by suggesting new promising research avenues.

description: We present a foundational language for distributed programming, called Lambda 5, that addresses both mobility of code and locality of resources. In order to construct our system, we appeal to the powerful propositions-as-types interpretation of logic. Specifically, we take the possible worlds of the intuitionistic modal logic IS5 to be nodes on a network, and the connectives to reflect mobility and locality, respectively. We formulate a novel system of natural deduction for IS5, decomposing the introduction and elimination rules , thereby allowing the corresponding programs to be more direct. We then give an operational semantics to our calculus that is type-safe, logically faithful, and computationally realistic.

description: Immersive digital art exhibitions are transforming traditional ways of appreciating art, redefining visitors’ experiences. An immersive digital art experience is described as a unique blend of technology and art that showcases a digital exhibition emphasizing light, sound, and projectors to transform spaces into vivid, multi-angle scenes. A key feature of immersive digital art experiences is the enhancement of complementary activities and services, which have become essential for embodying these art experiences. However, the service and activity aspects of immersive digital art experience design still require attention, highlighting a gap in this area. Thus, this study draws on the concept of embodiment, which emphasizes how additional services and activities can be designed to embody digital art experiences by intertwining with the body, immersive environment, and mind to provide a fulfilling, holistic experience for novel-seeking visitors. This study utilized a mixed-method approach, combining an in-depth interview with conjoint design survey to uncover visitor preferences and perceived delight in proposed design implications. Three themes emerged from interview data: creative activities (e.g., yoga, painting, photobooth), food and beverage services (e.g., wine and coffee) and VR technology enhancements (e.g., virtual tours and gamification). Utilizing a conjoint design, visitor preferences and their perceived delight were assessed to understand their trade-off process in designing an immersive digital art experiencescape for well-being. Selecting coffee experiences to represent the food and beverage services as the primary focus of this study, three art types were designed for the coffee cup presentation: (1) historical/traditional art, (2) contemporary/modern art, and (3) art-theme congruence art. Additionally, three immersion levels were assessed for the design of an immersive digital art environment: (1) fully digital art immersion, (2) partial-digital art immersion, and (3) non-digital art immersion. The results suggest that a contemporary coffee cup design paired with a fully immersive experience is preferred by visitors, with the highest perceived delight. While art-theme congruence and traditional/historical art types ranked second and third, visitors weighted almost equal importance on immersive environmental attributes and tangible presentation attributes, highlighting a focal point for art-embodied experience design. This study positions immersive digital art experiences as the next frontier of hospitality-infused engagement, where service design is no longer a complement but a core part of the artistic experience itself.

description: IEC 61499 ist ein Standard für die verteilte Automatisierung. Damit lassen sich Systeme designen, die eine Vielzahl von Knoten vernetzen können. Dadurch lassen sich komplexe Aufgaben in der Industrie leichter bewältigen. Um dies zu ermöglichen, müssen alle Systembestandteile miteinander kommunizieren können. Ein solches Kommunikationsnetzwerk kann dann schnell sehr komplex werden und damit schwer zu verwalten sein. Wenn es darum geht, an viele Teilnehmer Daten zu verteilen, hat sich das Publish-Subscribe Kommunikationsmuster bewährt. ZeroMQ ist eine Bibliothek, mit der über Sockets unter anderem solche Publish-Subscribe Kommunikationsnetzwerke realisiert werden können. Sie baut auf dem ZeroMQ Message Transport Protocol (ZMTP) auf. Dabei ist die Verwendung unwesentlich komplexer als mit Berkeley Sockets. 4DIAC/Forte bietet ein Framework um Applikationen nach IEC 61499 zu erstellen. In dieser Thesis wird 4DIAC/Forte und ZeroMQ vorgestellt. Es wird die Struktur einer Kopplungsschicht zwischen Forte und ZeroMQ präsentiert und implementiert. Anschließend werden Messungen von Latenz und Throughput durchgeführt, um die Performance zu evaluieren. In Forte sind traditionelle Sockets für die Kommunikation bereits implementiert. Sie unterstützen das Client-Server Muster und Publish-Subscribe mittels UDP Multicast. Mit diesen Lösungen werden die Messungen ebenfalls durchgeführt um einen Vergleich mit ZeroMQ aufzustellen. Es werden auch vorhandene Daten für DDS herangezogen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich ZeroMQ für die Kommunikation in Forte eignet und dabei hilft, die Komplexität zu reduzieren und die Handhabung zu vereinfachen.

description: Predicate abstraction is a useful form of abstraction for the verification of transition systems with large or infinite state spaces. One of the main bottlenecks of this approach is the extremely large number of decision procedures calls that are required to construct the abstract state space. In this paper we propose the use of a symbolic decision procedure and its application for predicate abstraction. The advantage of the approach is that it reduces the number of calls to the decision procedure exponentially and also provides for reducing the re-computations inherent in the current approaches. We provide two implementations of the symbolic decision procedure: one based on BDDs which leverages the current advances in early quantification algorithms, and the other based on SAT-solvers. We also demonstrate our approach with quantified predicates for verifying parameterized systems. We illustrate the effectiveness of this approach on benchmarks from the verification of microprocessors, communication protocols, parameterized systems, and Microsoft Windows device drivers.

La justicia transicional en el ámbito de la ley de justicia y paz no ha logrado un avance significativo en el componente de verdad, porque parte de una falacia en su construcción: iniciar y continuar el proceso penal de los postulados partiendo de la “verdad procesal” contenida en las sentencias de la justicia ordinaria, desconociendo en muchos casos las categorías propias del DIH. Por ello, se estudiará el alcance, los límites y las diferencias entre el jus in bello y el jus ad bellum, con el fin de analizar las categorías que realmente configuran crímenes contra el Derecho Internacional Humanitario en el ámbito del conflicto armado colombiano a partir de casos concretos.
description: The law in war and the law on the use of force have been distorted, confused or unknown, according to the political moment Colombia has experienced during the armed conflict, which has led to the prosecution and condemnation of many people for behaviors that do not necessarily constitute crimes in light of international humanitarian law, but by their nature are acts of war. Transitional justice in the area of the justice and peace law has not made significant progress in the truth component, because it starts from a fallacy in its construction: starting and continuing the criminal process of the postulates based on the "procedural truth" contained in the judgments of ordinary justice, in many cases ignoring the categories of IHL. For this reason, the scope, limits, and differences between jus in bello and jus ad bellum will be studied, in order to analyze the categories that really make up crimes against International Humanitarian Law in the context of the Colombian armed conflict from specific cases

description: The one-century-old Stern-Gerlach setup is paradigmatic for a quantum measurement. We visualize the electron trajectories following the Bohmian zig-zag dynamics. This dynamics was developed in order to deal with the fundamentally massless nature of particles (with mass emerging from the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism). The corresponding trajectories exhibit a stochastic zig-zagging, as the result of the coupling between left- and right-handed chiral Weyl states. This zig-zagging persists in the nonrelativistic limit, which will be considered here, and which is described by the Pauli equation for a nonuniform external magnetic field. Our results clarify the different meanings of ``spin'' as a property of the wave function and as a random variable in the Stern-Gerlach setup, and they illustrate the notion of effective collapse. We also examine the case of an EPR-pair. By letting one of the entangled particles pass through a Stern-Gerlach device, the nonlocal influence (action-at-a-distance) on the other particle is manifest in its trajectory, e.g. by initiating its zig-zagging.

description: We provide a quantum benchmark for teleportation and storage of single-mode squeezed states with zero displacement and a completely unknown degree of squeezing along a given direction. For pure squeezed input states, a fidelity higher than 81.5% has to be attained in order to outperform any classical strategy based on an estimation of the unknown squeezing and repreparation of squeezed states. For squeezed thermal input states, we derive an upper and a lower bound on the classical average fidelity which tighten for moderate degree of mixedness. These results enable a critical discussion of recent experiments with squeezed light.

description: We consider a neutrinophilic Higgs scenario where the Standard Model is extended by one additional Higgs doublet and three generations of singlet right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Light neutrino masses are generated through mixing with the heavy neutrinos via Type-I seesaw mechanism when the neutrinophilic Higgs gets a vacuum expectation value (VEV). The Dirac neutrino Yukawa coupling in this scenario can be sizable compared to those in the canonical Type-I seesaw mechanism owing to the small neutrinophilic Higgs VEV giving rise to interesting phenomenological consequences. We have explored various signal regions likely to provide a hint of such a scenario at the LHC as well as at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. We have also highlighted the consequences of light neutrino mass hierarchies in collider phenomenology that can complement the findings of neutrino oscillation experiments.

Alternative routes to unlock architectural information from root system image series

Subjects: SolACEWP2

description: Considerable efforts have been made during the last decades to develop HT phenotyping platforms, resulting in massive numbers of images and image sequences of plant root systems. However, the information content of these images is largely underexploited as available image analysis tools are restricted to a handful of morphological features and AI depends on the availability of accurate ground truth information. In this presentation, we show how focusing our attention on root tips, which are the generators of root architecture, opens alternative routes to unlock architectural information from root system image series. The extraction of time series of root tip features is a routine and quick operation, and the resulting dataset can be mined in different ways. Methods inspired from tip tracking can be used to reconstruct vectorized root systems with temporal information on individual segments. Tips can also be considered as samples that can be analysed with spatial statistical methods or used to parameterize density or structural root architecture models. We illustrate the latter route with a collection of 150K images of 500 wheat genotypes, acquired during HT phenotyping experiments. From a dataset containing the time series of tip coordinates, we have estimated in R several key parameters of two root architectural models, ArchiSimple and RootTyp. We found significant genotypic differences for several of these parameters, even though broad-sense heritabilities tends to be low. Finally, shifting our focus from an image analysis problem to a data mining one was also an opportunity to get closer to our scientificobject.
Interplay of single particle and collective response in molecular dynamics simulation of dusty plasma system

description: Collective response of the plasma medium is well known and has been explored extensively in several contexts. The single particle response is typically treated as collisional interactions leading to dissipative effects. In this manuscript a 2D molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of dusty plasma with Yukawa interactions amidst dust grains have been considered in a strongly coupled regime. It has been shown that disturbances induced in the crystal by introducing highly charged particle elicit both collective and single particle responses. The single particle collisional interaction often generates highly energetic few particles which move with speeds exceeding the acoustic and also the shock velocity (which gets excited by the external moving body inserted in the medium). The dust crystal is observed to crack and deform along the path of these energetic particles. Ultimately as they slow down they excite collective response in the medium. It is thus observed that the medium ahead of the shock gets disturbed by these energetic particles generated by collisional interaction. The trailing shock then sees a disturbed medium. It is thus clear that there is an interesting interplay between the single particle and collective response in the medium which governs the dynamics.

description: We extend multireference covariant density-functional theory (MR-CDFT) based on a relativistic point-coupling energy functional to describe the low-lying states of odd-mass nuclei. The nuclear wave function is constructed as a superposition of quadrupole-octupole deformed mean-field configurations, with projection onto angular momentum, particle numbers, and parity within the framework of the generator coordinate method. Using $^{25}$Mg as an example, we calculate the energy spectrum, electric multipole, and magnetic dipole transition strengths based on three different schemes for the mean-field configurations of odd-mass nuclei. We find that the low-energy structure of $^{25}$Mg is reasonably reproduced in all three schemes. In particular, the effect of octupole correlation is illustrated in the application to the low-lying parity doublets of $^{21}$Ne. This work demonstrates the success of the MR-CDFT for the low-lying states of odd-mass nuclei with possible strong quadruple-octupole correlations.

A survey of sequential and systolic algorithms for the algebraic path problem

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: 89999 Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present a literature review on the algebraic path problem and describe different sequential and systolic algorithms for solving this problem. A systolic algorithm is a parallel algorithm where computations are performed by a planar mesh of connected processors. All processors perform the same algorithm and every processor exchanges data only with its neighbours. The algebraic path problem is the problem of performing a special unary operation, called closure, over a square matrix, whose entries are elements of a semiring. This problem generalizes some matrix problems (such as computing the inverse of a real-valued matrix), graph problems (e.g. transitive closure and reduction, shortest path, the stochastic communication network problem), and regular language problems (e.g. the proof of the correspondence between regular expressions and finite automata). We describe two different approaches to an algebraic path problem and four special cases of the general problem: computing the closure of a matrix over a Dijkstra semiring, the transitive closure problem, the shortest path problem, and computing the inverse of a real-valued matrix. For each problem we present both sequential and systolic algorithms. Also, we describe a history of sequential and systolic solutions of each problem.

description: We examined software usage in a sample set of astrophysics research articles published in 2015 and searched for source code for the software mentioned in these research papers. We categorized the software to indicate whether source code is available for download and whether there are restrictions to accessing it, and if source code is not available, whether some other form of the software, such as a binary, is. We also extracted hyperlinks from one journal's 2015 research articles, as links in articles can serve as an acknowledgment of software use and lead to data used in the research, and tested them to determine which of these URLs are still accessible. For our sample of 715 software instances in the 166 articles we examined, we were able to categorize 418 records as to availability of source code and found that 285 unique codes were used, 58% of which offer source code available online for download. Of the 2,558 hyperlinks extracted from 1,669 research articles, at best, 90% of them were available over our testing period.

description: Background and Objective: In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and in particular Deep Neural Networks (DNN) became a relevant research topic in biomedical image segmentation due to the availability of more and more data sets along with the establishment of well known competitions. Despite the popularity of DNN based segmentation on the research side, these techniques are almost unused in the daily clinical practice even if they could support effectively the physician during the diagnostic process. Apart from the issues related to the explainability of the predictions of a neural model, such systems are not integrated in the diagnostic workflow, and a standardization of their use is needed to achieve this goal. Methods: This paper presents IODeep a new DICOM Information Object Definition (IOD) aimed at storing both the weights and the architecture of a DNN already trained on a particular image dataset that is labeled as regards the acquisition modality, the anatomical region, and the disease under investigation. Results: The IOD architecture is presented along with a DNN selection algorithm from the PACS server based on the labels outlined above, and a simple PACS viewer purposely designed for demonstrating the effectiveness of the DICOM integration, while no modifications are required on the PACS server side. Also a service based architecture in support of the entire workflow has been implemented. Conclusion: IODeep ensures full integration of a trained AI model in a DICOM infrastructure, and it is also enables a scenario where a trained model can be either fine-tuned with hospital data or trained in a federated learning scheme shared by different hospitals. In this way AI models can be tailored to the real data produced by a Radiology ward thus improving the physician decision making process.

description: Cette étude a eu pour but de mieux comprendre les perceptions et les attitudes des intervenant(e)s en justice pour la jeunesse sur l’utilisation de la médication psychotrope dans les établissements de garde pour adolescents dans l’est de l’Ontario. Afin de contextualiser ces perceptions et attitudes, nous avons exploré des sujets connexes à la question de recherche dont : les implications du travail d’intervenant(e) en justice pour jeune, les comportements des jeunes placés sous garde, le rapport des intervenant(e)s à la pharmacologie, le processus de la prescription psychotrope en établissement de garde pour jeunes, les attitudes des jeunes vis-à-vis leur(s) prescription(s) psychotrope(s), les effets qu’ont les médicaments psychotropes sur les jeunes placés sous garde puis, les stratégies pour améliorer la santé mentale des jeunes pendant et après leur placement sous garde. Trois participant(e)s ont pris part à des entretiens semi-dirigés et ont partagé leurs opinions et leurs expériences. Selon nos résultats plusieurs médicaments psychotropes sont prescrits pour la durée du placement des jeunes placés sous garde en fonction du degré de « gérabilité » des comportements des jeunes. Les médicaments seraient également prescrits pour la rentabilité de ce type d'intervention. Ces médicaments sont prescrits peu importe la présence ou l'absence d'un diagnostic de trouble de santé mentale et, selon nos données, leur usage n'est pas toujours recommandé chez les personnes âgées de moins de 18 ans. Les médicaments psychotropes ont également une multitude d'effets négatifs sur les jeunes. Ceux-ci peuvent comprendre, entre autres, des effets « trop calmants » qui rendent les jeunes moins « cohérents » et moins « fonctionnels ». Les effets des médicaments psychotropes à long terme demeurent également incertains, y compris les effets sur la réinsertion sociale et la récidive. Les intervenant(e)s ayant participé à cette étude se montrent en faveur d’une vision proactive des médicaments psychotropes à condition qu’ils soient utilisés de manière appropriée et en combinaison avec des méthodes d'intervention psychosociales. Ils et elles nous ont indiqué la pertinence de miser davantage sur les interactions humaines et sur le soutien qui est offert dans la communauté pour améliorer la santé mentale des jeunes judiciarisés.

description: The RIBLL2 in-flight separator at IMP, the secondary beam line between two storage rings at the \blue{\uwave{Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-CSR)}}, has been commissioned to study the rare-isotope beam (RIB) physics at around 300 MeV/nucleon for the first time, in combination of the external target facility (ETF). The unambiguous particle identification in mass and charge states for $^{18}$O and $^{40}$Ar fragments has been achieved in recent experiments. A full realization of RIBLL2 will open many potentials to address important RIB physics problems at around 300 MeV/nucleon.

Giant amplification of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature in superconducting systems characterized by cooperative interplay of small-gapped valence and conduction bands

description: Two-dimensional superconductors and electron-hole superfluids in van der Waals heterostructures having tunable valence and conduction bands in the electronic spectrum are emerging as rich platforms to investigate novel quantum phases and topological phase transitions. In this work, by adopting a mean-field approach considering multiple-channel pairings and the Kosterlitz-Nelson criterion, we demonstrate giant amplifications of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition temperature and a shrinking of the pseudogap for small energy separations between the conduction and valence bands and small density of carriers in the conduction band. The presence of the holes in the valence band, generated by intra-band and pair-exchange couplings, contributes constructively to the phase stiffness of the total system, adding up to the phase stiffness of the conduction band electrons that is boosted as well, due to the presence of the valence band electrons. This strong cooperative effect avoids the suppression of the BKT transition temperature for low density of carriers, that occurs in single-band superconductors where only the conduction band is present. Thus, we predict that in this regime, multi-band superconducting and superfluid systems with valence and conduction bands can exhibit much larger BKT critical temperatures with respect to single-band and single-condensate systems.

Analysis of Holistic Interventions to Address the Mental Health of Syrian Children from a Refugee Background: The case of Community Social Pediatric Centers in Montreal.
Creators: name: Potvin, Noémie
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: This study, completed as part of a research project in the obtainment of a Master of Social Work, examines the holistic intervention approach used by Social pediatric centers to address the mental health problems of Syrian refugee children. The objectives of this study were twofold: 1) to explore the holistic intervention approach used in Social pediatric centers in Quebec; 2) to determine the advantages of the holistic approach in addressing the mental health risks of Syrian refugee children. The results indicated that the experiences of post-trauma endured by the Syrian refugee children and their families during the migratory trajectory, makes them more at risk to develop mental health problems. The holistic approach used in Social pediatric centers is for the most part advantageous as it allows the professionals working in proximity to this population, to provide specific and long-term services, while also addressing the mental health needs of the parents. Keywords: holistic interventions, Social pediatric center, refugee, mental health. Cette étude est complétée dans le cadre d’un mémoire pour l’obtention d’une Maîtrise en Travail Social. Elle examine l’approche d’intervention holistique, utilisée par les centres de pédiatrie sociale afin d’adresser les problèmes de santé mentale chez les enfants Syriens réfugiés au Québec. Les objectifs de cette étude sont doubles : 1) explorer l’approche holistique utilisée dans les centres de pédiatrie sociale au Québec; 2) déterminer les avantages de l’approche holistique pour adresser les risques de développer un problème de santé mentale chez les enfants réfugiés Syriens. Les résultats indiquent que les expériences de post-trauma qu’on vécue les enfants Syriens réfugiés et leurs familles lors du parcours migratoire, les mets plus à risque de développer des problèmes de santé mentale. L’approche holistique utilisée dans les centres de pédiatrie sociale est perçue comme avantageuse puisqu’elle permet aux professionnels qui travaillent à proximité de cette population, d’offrir des services spécifiques et à long-terme, elle permet également d’adresser les besoins de santé mental de toute la famille.
