Developing a collaborative and sustainable return to work program for employees with common mental disorders: a participatory research with public and private organizations

Author(s): Corbière M; Mazaniello-Chézol M; Lecomte T; Guay S; Panaccio A;

Purpose: To disentangle the key steps of the return to work (RTW) process and offer clearer recovery-focused and sustainable RTW for people on sick leave due to common mental disorders (CMDs). Methods: This participatory research involves two large Canadian organizations. In each organization, we established an advisory committee composed of RTW stakehol ...

Polygenic scores differentially predict developmental trajectories of subtypes of social withdrawal in childhood

Author(s): Morneau-Vaillancourt G; Andlauer TFM; Ouellet-Morin I; Paquin S; Brendgen MR; Vitaro F; Gouin JP; Séguin JR; Gagnon É; Cheesman R; Forget-Dubois N; Rouleau GA; Turecki G; Tremblay RE; Côté SM; Dionne G; Boivin M;

Background: Children who consistently withdraw from social situations face increased risk for later socioemotional difficulties. Twin studies indicate that genetic factors substantially account for the persistence of social withdrawal over time. However, the molecular genetic etiology of chronic ...

An analysis of security vulnerabilities in container images for scientific data analysis

Author(s): Kaur B; Dugré M; Hanna A; Glatard T;

Background: Software containers greatly facilitate the deployment and reproducibility of scientific data analyses in various platforms. However, container images often contain outdated or unnecessary software packages, which increases the number of security vulnerabilities in the images, widens the attack surface in the container host, and creates substan ...

Meta-control: From psychology to computational neuroscience

Author(s): Eppinger B; Goschke T; Musslick S;

Research in the past decades shed light on the different mechanisms that underlie our capacity for cognitive control. However, the meta-level processes that regulate cognitive control itself remain poorly understood. Following the terminology from artificial intelligence, meta-control can be defined as a collection of mechanisms that (a) monitor the progr ...

Heavy Z ' bosons in the secluded U ( 1 ) ' model at hadron colliders

Author(s): Frank M; Selbuz L; Turan I;

We study Z ' phenomenology at hadron colliders in an U ( 1 ) ' extended MSSM. We choose a U ( 1 ) ' model with a secluded sector, where the tension between the electroweak scale and developing a large enough mass for Z ' is resolved by incorporating three additional singlet superfields into the model. We perform a detailed analysis o ...

COVID-19 Experiences and Social Distancing: Insights From the Theory of Planned Behavior

Author(s): Frounfelker RL; Santavicca T; Li ZY; Miconi D; Venkatesh V; Rousseau C;

Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the relationship between COVID-19 experiences, perceived COVID-19 behavioral control, social norms and attitudes, and future intention to follow social distancing guidelines. Design: This is a cross-sectional study. Setting: Participants responded to an on-line survey in June 2020. Subjects: The study ...

Calibration of a Hyper-Spectral Imaging System Using a Low-Cost Reference

Author(s): Shaikh MS; Jaferzadeh K; Thörnberg B; Casselgren J;

In this paper, we present a hyper-spectral imaging system and practical calibration procedure using a low-cost calibration reference made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The imaging system includes a hyperspectral camera and an active source of illumination with a variable spectral distribution of intensity. The calibration reference is used to measure the re ...

Neurophysiological Changes Induced by Music-Supported Therapy for Recovering Upper Extremity Function after Stroke: A Case Series

Author(s): Ghai S; Maso FD; Ogourtsova T; Porxas AX; Villeneuve M; Penhune V; Boudrias MH; Baillet S; Lamontagne A;

Music-supported therapy (MST) follows the best practice principles of stroke rehabilitation and has been proven to instigate meaningful enhancements in motor recovery post-stroke. The existing literature has established that the efficacy and specificity of MST relies on the reinforcement of audit ...

Identification of a Novel Biosynthetic Gene Cluster in Aspergillus niger Using Comparative Genomics

Author(s): Evdokias G; Semper C; Mora-Ochomogo M; Di Falco M; Nguyen TTM; Savchenko A; Tsang A; Benoit-Gelber I;

Previously, DNA microarrays analysis showed that, in co-culture with Bacillus subtilis, a biosynthetic gene cluster anchored with a nonribosomal peptides synthetase of Aspergillus niger is downregulated. Based on phylogenetic and synteny analyses, we show here that this gene cluster, NRRL3_00036- ...

Exploring the Role of Glycans in the Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 RBD and Human Receptor ACE2

Author(s): Nguyen K; Chakraborty S; Mansbach RA; Korber B; Gnanakaran S;

COVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It has become a global pandemic and its frequent mutations may pose new challenges for vaccine design. During viral infection, the Spike RBD of SARS-CoV-2 binds the human host cell receptor ACE2, enabling the virus to enter the host cell. Both the Spike and ACE ...

Ultrasound Imaging Analysis of the Lumbar Multifidus Muscle Echo Intensity: Intra-Rater and Inter-Rater Reliability of a Novice and an Experienced Rater

Author(s): Fortin M; Rosenstein B; Levesque J; Nandlall N;

Background and Objectives: Ultrasound echo intensity (EI) of the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) could offer valuable insights regarding muscle quality in people with low back pain (LBP). However, whether the rater's experience noticeably influences the reliability and precision of LMM EI measurements has not been established. The aims of this study we ...
