Journal articles on the topic 'Quebec （Canada）/Corsica (France) comparison'

This article proposes to investigate the educational experiences of thirty-two separated children (unaccompanied minors seeking refuge) in two different regions: the Ile-de-France (Paris) region of France and the province of Quebec in Canada. It allow for a better understanding of the role and the actual place that education has in the integration process of these vulnerable young migrants.

Moonmilk, which is often seen coating walls in temperate caves, is a porous secondary calcite deposit composed of an aggregate of microcrystalline calcite and water. This study, based on moonmilk deposits found in Caverne de l'Ours, Ottawa Valley region, proposes a model for its formation based on the calcite and water isotope chemistry and evaluates its use as a climatic proxy. In Caverne de l'Ours, non-calcitic mineral inclusions protrude from the bedrock (Grenville marble) into the moonmilk, while others are entirely enclosed within the moonmilk. This observation suggests a mechanism of bedrock dissolution and reprecipitation for the formation of moonmilk, which is controlled by the changing seasonal climate in the cave. The δ18O of the moonmilk interstial water indicates that the condensation of water vapour occurs mostly in winter and spring. The condensation of water vapour on the surface of the walls allows for the dissolution of the Grenville marble and releases ions necessary for the precipitation of moonmilk. The δ18O and δ13C of calcite and δ18O of the moonmilk interstitial water indicate that precipitation of moonmilk occurs during summer and fall. During these seasons, the relative humidity in the cave decreases resulting in moonmilk growth through the slow evaporation of calcite-saturated water. A comparison of the δ18O record of moonmilk from caves in Gaspésie (Canada) and from Aven d'Orgnac (France) shows that this material retains temperature information valuable for paleoclimatic reconstructions.

This article examines three evaluations of health policies adopted during the 1990s: the Politique des programmes regionaux de sante (policy on regional health programs) in Nord Pas-de-Calais (France), the Policy on Health and Well-Being in Quebec (Canada) and the Planification sanitaire (qualitative health planning) for the canton of Geneva (Switzerland). A comparison is carried out on three aspects: 1 ) the scope of the evaluative questioning, 2) the steering of the process, and 3) the methods chosen. Using a qualitative and participative approach, these evaluations focus on the implementation of the policies, leaving aside the question of effects on citizens' health. What might seem a weakness in the evaluation is very likely more of an adjustment between the evaluative procedure and the issues involved with these policies, the strategy of which is based on the involvement and adhesion of their actors.

Terrestrial laser scanners provide accurate and detailed point clouds of forest plots, which can be used as an alternative to destructive measurements during forest inventories. Various specialized algorithms have been developed to provide automatic and objective estimates of forest attributes from point clouds. The STEP (Snakes for Tuboid Extraction from Point cloud) algorithm was developed to estimate both stem diameter at breast height and stem diameters along the bole length. Here, we evaluate the accuracy of this algorithm and compare its performance with two other state-of-the-art algorithms that were designed for the same purpose (i.e., the CompuTree and SimpleTree algorithms). We tested each algorithm against point clouds that incorporated various degrees of noise and occlusion. We applied these algorithms to three contrasting test sites: (1) simulated scenes of coniferous stands in Newfoundland (Canada), (2) test sites of deciduous stands in Phalsbourg (France), and (3) coniferous plantations in Quebec, Canada. In most cases, the STEP algorithm predicted diameter at breast height with higher R2 and lower RMSE than the other two algorithms. The STEP algorithm also achieved greater accuracy when estimating stem diameter in occluded and noisy point clouds, with mean errors in the range of 1.1 cm to 2.28 cm. The CompuTree and SimpleTree algorithms respectively produced errors in the range of 2.62 cm to 6.1 cm and 1.03 cm to 3.34 cm, respectively. Unlike CompuTree or SimpleTree, the STEP algorithm was not able to estimate trunk diameter in the uppermost portions of the trees. Our results show that the STEP algorithm is more adapted to extract DBH and stem diameter automatically from occluded and noisy point clouds. Our study also highlights that SimpleTree and CompuTree require data filtering and results corrections. Conversely, none of these procedures were applied for the implementation of the STEP algorithm.

AbstractModern urban planning in the world is nowadays facing severe problems due to the fast increase of the population and migration from villages to cities, which led countries to implementation of strategy of fast, modern urban planning to meet the needs of the population. Since the 1980s, in a context marked by increasing development in energy costs and by rising attention to the problem of global warming, countries have gradually mobilized to control their energy better and reduce the environmental footprint. However, even if there are some great successes, the deployment of renewable energies is still not well developed in developing countries such as Algeria that mainly uses fossil fuels. Considering the huge potential and good climatic conditions, developing countries should take on renewable energies for their future development. This paper aims to understand the impact of modern urban strategy on the application of solar urban planning. This study will clarify the critical role of solar electricity integration used in determining the urban solar potential in four studied regions located on three different continents: Africa, Europe and North America, in the cities of Ibenbadis (Constantine, Algeria), Saint-Hugues (Quebec, Canada), Saint-Malo (France) and Ambolobozobe (Madagascar). The results obtained will allow a comparison of the calculated solar energy potential of three urban sites, the benefits of reducing carbon dioxide as well as a comparison of solar energy costs on three continents.

This article examines how independent bodies for public participation (IBPPs) can initiate a convergence around practices among actors in the public participation field, especially sponsors of participatory arrangements and the associated participation firms. As IBPPs have the public resources and legal authority to independently organize participatory arrangements, they can play a coordinating role in the public participation field. A comparison of two IBPPs, one in Canada (Quebec) and one in France, shows that IBPPs enhance the development of the participation industry and strengthen recognition of several informal norms concerning public participation design and implementation.

The genre of travel literature in the nineteenth century, particularly in the francophone context, allowed European writers to compare the Old World with the New World and cast judgments about democracy, religion, and race in comparison to Europe, themes which are particularly relevant to our discussion about modernity. One such example of this literature is Outre-Mer by Paul Bourget which was written over an eight month period beginning in July 1893 and was published in Paris in 1895. Bourget is best known for his 1883 collection Essais de psychologie contemporaine and for his 1889 novel Le disciple. Although his work is viewed largely as minor literature today, in the 1880s and 1890s, he was essentially a literary celebrity. Thus, in 1893 when he visited Canada at the very beginning of his trip he was received with great fan fare and the events of his three-week vacation were chronicled in nearly every Francophone Quebec Journal. However, when the book was published in 1895, the Canadians were surprised to find that Bourget did not mention them once, as if he had never even gone to Canada. The outcry from the Canadian public, in my opinion, was not just about being snubbed by a literary celebrity, but showed that French-speaking Canadians genuinely wanted to hear Paul Bourget’s opinion about their culture and society. To meet this need, a Canadian journalist and editor named Sylva Clapin wrote Sensations de Nouvelle-France with the subtitle “Pour faire suite à Outre-Mer” and signed the book Paul Bourget. My communication seeks to study Sylva Clapin’s appropriation of Bourget’s political and social ideology which he used to create his forgery and launch a polemic in the francophone journals of Québec in 1895. At the core of Bourget’s vision is the concept that while Democracy, Science (Positivism), and the problems of Race were essentially destroying the Old World, they were at the heart of what made the Americas great. These are the tools that Clapin applied to his study of French-speaking Canada which I propose to explore in my communication.

This paper provides the most comprehensive mapping to date of the current state of nonprofit management and philanthropic studies (NMPS) education programs in Canada. One of the more significant findings of this study is both the number and types of Canadian NMPS programs offered in the historically French-speaking province of Quebec, versus the predominantly English-speaking parts of the rest of Canada. We hypothesize that differences in the structure of civil society between English- and French-speaking parts of the country may have led to a differentiation in both the number and types of NMPS programs offered in the two regions. Canada is an apparent hybrid of the “welfare partnership” model found in many “continental European” countries, such as France, and the Anglo-Saxon model predominantly found in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other members of the British Commonwealth. Given this hybridity, we compare the course offerings of French and English-speaking Canadian NMPS programs with those of other member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OCED) employing Esping-Anderson’s regime types as a comparative framework. This comparison reveals no strong correlations between these regime types and the nature of their NMPS curricular offerings. We follow this analysis with a more comprehensive comparison of American and Canadian NMPS education and offer a brief historical overview of the latter. We found significant differences in the NMPS education between these two countries, both qualitative and quantitative. Most significantly, a much larger proportion of Canadian post-secondary education institutions have programs that include at least some NMPS curricula, whereas there is a much larger proportion of programs in American institutions with NMPS as their primary focus. We then conclude by suggesting two potential paths of development lie ahead for Canadian NMPS programs: one follows the current status quo, dispersing programs among many programs and actors, the other sees the establishment of more centres specializing in NMPS education in a few select institutions, and also possible consolidation in programs for which it is a more peripheral concern.

Abstract Background/Aims The IMPACT survey explored self-reported experiences of the clinical, humanistic, and economic impact of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare hereditary connective tissue disorder associated with low bone mass, bone fragility and variable secondary features. Here we present findings on OI-related signs, symptoms and events and their impact on adults with OI both globally and in the United Kingdom (UK). Methods Together with the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Federation Europe and the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation (USA) we developed an international survey in eight languages (fielded online July-September 2021). The survey was open to adults (aged ≥18 years) or adolescents (aged ≥12-17 years) with OI, caregivers (with or without OI) of individuals with OI and other close relatives; overall 2,278 individuals participated. Survey domains included demographics, socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, quality of life (QoL) and health economics. Non-English language responses were translated into English. Data were cleaned, coded, and analysed using Microsoft Excel. Results 1,440 adult respondents (70.0% females, mean age 43 years) described their OI as mild (35.2%), moderate (46.6%) and severe (14.2%). Additionally, type 1 (37.7%), 3 (15.6%) and 4 (11.0%) OI were most frequently reported. Over a 12-month period, the most frequently reported clinical signs, symptoms and events were pain (81.8%), ranked as moderately or severely impactful by 68.0% of individuals who had experienced it, fatigue (66.9%), which moderately-severely impacted 69.1% and soft tissue problems or injuries (including muscle, tendon, ligament; 54.8%), which moderately-severely impacted 71.2%. While nearly one-third (27.4%) of adults experienced fractures, almost two-thirds (64.7%) of them ranked the symptom as moderately or severely impactful. In comparison, in the UK (n = 144 adults; 73.6% women, mean age 47 years), over a third (36.8%) of adults reported experiencing a fracture, with nearly three-quarters (73.6%) ranking it as moderately or severely impactful. Leg fractures were more commonly reported (mean 0.3 fractures, standard deviation [SD] 2.2) among adults in the overall survey population compared with rib (mean 0.3, SD 1.1), vertebral (mean 0.2, SD 0.9) or arm (mean 0.1, SD 1.0) fractures. In contrast, the most prevalent fracture type among the UK cohort were rib fractures (mean 0.4, SD 1.1). Across all QoL domains, the impact of OI was greater among individuals who had experienced fractures, compared with those who had not. Additionally, demographic and clinical factors such as sex, OI severity, OI type and the experience of fractures were identified as drivers of QoL impact. Conclusion Adults with OI experience a wide range of OI-related clinical signs, symptoms and events. Irrespective of an individual's characteristics, fractures are associated with worsened QoL. Further analysis will elucidate the impact of this complex condition and provide insights into areas of improvement of treatment, care and policy making. Disclosure O.
