This article contributes to the study of family strategies during the transition to industrial capitalism in Quebec by examining a series of court documents, specifically, requests for authorization to sell minor children's property. These invaluable sources are especially useful in providing a firsthand perspective into the key moments experienced in families' trajectories, moments that entailed both enormous economic challenges and uncertainties in the search for a new future. Three objectives frame the study: first, to document the forms of precarity experienced by small, urban and rural property owners from 1880 to 1930; secondly, to underscore the family- and community-based relationships that have marked the course of these households; Finally, to see what the study results mean for the history of property-owning societies before the 1930s. Additionally, the article also shows that at the heart of private life, deep and brutal social inequalities were reproduced at the turn of the 20th century alongside the labour market and capitalist exploitation of the labour force.

The article focuses on the media and the dialectic of similarity and difference in relation to how humans are influenced by capitalism, industrialization, and mass media. Topics include perspectives of sociologists, philosophers, and psychologists who emphasized the importance of individuality in modernity and ways in humans interact with media; and the content of various periodicals in France and Canada with the complexity of the relationships between homogenization and differentiation.

Résumé: La révolution thérapeutique des anticorps monoclonaux gagne le champ des maladies infectieuses. Après de nombreuses années de recherche permettant d'isoler et de caractériser les premiers anticorps neutralisants anti-VIH, certaines molécules entrent désormais dans les dernières phases d'essais cliniques et dans les pipelines de développement industriel de nombreux groupes pharmaceutiques. Ces anticorps neutralisants également appelés bNAbs, pour broadly neutralizing antibodies , ont un large spectre d'activité permettant d'espérer une efficacité pan-génotypique ou proche, une condition sine qua non pour une efficacité antivirale durable. Suite aux échecs des différentes stratégies vaccinales éprouvées jusqu'à présent, que peuvent nous offrir des anticorps neutralisants dans la prévention de l'infection par le VIH ? Ces biothérapies peuvent-elles trouver leur place dans la prise en charge des patients infectés par le VIH ? Cet article apportera un éclairage sur les données récentes issues des essais cliniques des principaux anticorps neutralisants anti-VIH en développement dans une utilisation en prophylaxie et en thérapeutique. The therapeutic revolution of monoclonal antibodies is spreading to the field of infectious diseases. After many years of academic research to isolate and characterize the first HIV-neutralizing antibodies, a few molecules are entering the final stages of clinical trials and the industrial development pipelines of several pharmaceutical companies. These neutralizing antibodies, also known as bNAbs (broadly neutralizing antibodies), have a broad spectrum of activity, allowing us to hope for pan-genotypic or near pan-genotypic efficacy, a sine qua non for lasting antiviral efficacy. Following the failures of the different vaccine strategies tried until now, what can neutralizing antibodies offer us in the prevention of HIV infection? Can these biotherapies find their place in the management of HIV-infected patients? This article will shed light on recent data from clinical trials of the main anti-HIV neutralizing antibodies in development for use in prophylaxis and therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1912, Charles Maurras mentioned in the Parisian publication l'Action française "the importance of anti-Semitism in Quebec City." A city founded on a strong ethno-linguistic duality, Quebec City's character changed considerably at the turn of the 20th century. Industrialization, immigration, the predominant conception of the nation-state and the magisterium of the Church upset a city that seemed to be experiencing a difficult transition. Ridden with anxiety, a certain elite is attacking a vulnerable minority on a daily basis. Thus a noisy anti-Semitism takes shape, regularly feeding a chimerical representation of the Jew which, by the effect of imbalance between reality and the imaginary, between truth and lies, generates nocuous tensions.

The industrialization policy of the city of Bouake is motivated by several reasons among which we quote the proximity of the raw materials, the diversification of existing companies and the development of the city of Bouake. The solid establishment of these enterprises in the city attracted a population coming from diverse backgrounds for industrial employment. Thus, after their settlement in the city of Bouake, new behaviors were observed in the rank of these immigrants. This massive settlement of the city has led to an evolution in the number of activities and a redistribution of wage income. This has made Bouake one of the most populous cities in the Ivory Coast.

Ce papier portant sur la nouvelle géo-économie mondiale : une contribution théorique et empirique au débat « Nord-Sud » par une modélisation logistique a cherché à identifier les déterminants et les probabilités pour un pays d'appartenir à l'un de bloc bipolaire du monde « Nord ou Sud ». En outre, de vérifier si cette bipolarisation est assise uniquement sur les critères objectifs. Les estimations du modèle logistique ont révélé sur un échantillon de 174 pays, quatre déterminants majeurs expliquent cette nouvelle carte des Nations après la disparition du bloc soviétique, répartis en deux types : les déterminants objectifs, à savoir le niveau de l'IDH et le Revenu national brut par habitant (RNBH). Ce qui est conforme à la définition du PNUD au débat « Nord-Sud ». Et les déterminants subjectifs qui sont le fait pour un pays d'être membre du concert des Nations formant le « G7 » ou pays du continent européen. Par conséquent, toute chose restant égale par ailleurs, un pays du groupe « G7 » possède une probabilité de 94,5% d'être reconnu comme pays du Nord lorsqu'il est du continent d'Europe et 70,8% si non. Et les autres pays n'appartenant pas à ce bloc, leurs probabilités sont de 16,6% pour un pays européen et 2,7% si non. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
