En rencontrant aujourd’hui Danielle Tardif, responsable de la bibliothèque de la faculté de médecine de Montréal, la rédaction de Pédagogie Médicale ouvre sa rubrique à des acteurs de formation autre que les médecins-enseignants au sens traditionnel du terme. Conscients du rôle d’autres professionnels dans la formation de nos futurs médecins, nous avons voulu mieux les faire connaître et engager un dialogue avec eux. Danielle Tardif a suivi un cursus universitaire de biologie et de bibliothéconomie. Elle a fait un détour de 10 ans en recherche médicale avant de travailler comme bibliothécaire. « Cette expérience m’est aujourd’hui très précieuse » nous précise- t-elle. Elle est chef du service de référence et développement des collections à la Bibliothèque de la santé depuis 10 ans et considère la formation documentaire des usagers comme une priorité de son équipe.

Neither democracy nor globalization can explain the doubling of the peacetime public share in many Western countries between World Wars I and II. Here we examine two other explanations that are consistent with the timing of the observed changes, namely, (1) a shift in the demand for public goods and (2) the effect of war on the willingness to share. We first model each of these approaches as a contingency-learning phenomenon within Schelling’s Multi-Person Dilemma. We then derive verifiable propositions from each hypothesis. National time series of public spending as a share of GNP reveal no unit root but a break in trend, a result shown to favor explanation (2) over (1).

This thesis examines the microeconomic consequences of the arrival of open source in the software market. Specifically, it analyzes three features of open source software by using specific models of industrial organization. Open source software is free, and may be modified or duplicated by anyone. The first paper studies the entry of an open source software in a closed source software market. Using a model of horizontal differentiation, the analysis considers a closed source firm's investment in the quality of its software. The introduction of open source on the market reduces the firm's investment in quality and increases the price of its software. Moreover, the entry of open source software may reduce consumer welfare. Post-entry by an open source software, the reduction in market share lowers the firm's incentive to invest in quality. The second paper features vertical differentiation to study a monopolist selling supporting product to its software. The study begins by contrasting the supply of support by an open source provider and a closed source vendor. The model shows that in both cases the levels of support offered are the same. In addition, consumer welfare is higher and profit lower under an open source software. Then, the paper considers the competition in the provision of support. Here, the supply of high level support is greater than under a monopolist. Finally, the monopolist adopts a dual licensing strategy to extract more surplus from developers interested in modifying open source software and redistributing the resulting product. This technique, when the developers place high value on the source code, generates more profit if the monopolist chooses to publish as open source rather than closed source. The last paper studies how a closed source firm is affected by the introduction of an open source benefiting from contributions by users. A vertical differentiation model is used, and reveals that, when contribution of users is present, the closed source vendor may lower its price to a level where it forces the open source out of the market. The firm's lower price not only increases demand for its software, but also induces consumers into switching from open to closed source software therefore reducing the contribution of users.

Fondé sur les équivalences entre le code de la déclamation théâtrale et celui de la lecture touchante théorisés en 1707 par Jean-Léonor Le Gallois de Grimarest dans son Traité du récitatif, ainsi que sur les considérations de plusieurs traités de rhétorique et d’art dramatique du XVIIe siècle, cet article cherche à définir quelques éléments clés de la poétique vocale de la nouvelle française de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle. À travers l’analyse comparée des nouvelles Floridon (1657) de Segrais et Philadelphe (1687) de Girault de Sainville et de la tragédie Bajazet (1672) de Racine, il met en évidence l’importance et la forte charge pathétique du dialogue et des figures de rhétorique, deux procédés vocaux fondateurs communs aux deux genres, replaçant ainsi la voix au cœur des pratiques d’écriture aussi bien que de lecture de la nouvelle de l’âge classique.
