Summary: This article presents a case study on the success factors and effects of a collaboration between architecture students and an Indigenous community. The collaboration took place within an urban design workshop led by Laval University's School of Architecture and the Innu community of Uashat mak Mani-utenam near Sept-iles, Quebec. The analysis of the development plans, based on Innu development criteria, highlights the positive contributions of the workshop in terms of the community program and symbolic representation. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of location and respect for natural elements. Testimonials from key players emphasize the authentic nature of the partnership, which has been supported by the quality of the relationship, the long-term duration, and the promotion of Innu cultural knowledge.

Summary: This article explores the social selection of local elected officials' places of residence, finding that it is not random but driven by a logic of class socio-spatial selectivity. The study also reveals that this spatial selectivity varies depending on the partisan affiliation of elected officials and the presence of electoral districts at the municipal level. By analyzing the concentration or dispersal of elected officials based on the socio-economic level of neighborhoods in Lausanne and Zurich, the article introduces a new approach to understanding the sociology of political elites, refining the study of elected officials' profiles and representativeness through the addition of a spatial dimension - their place of residence.

Summary: The study conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials, showing that rTMS interventions targeting the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were more effective than sham in improving PTSD symptoms. Other interventions did not show significant differences compared to sham. Dropout rates as a proxy for acceptability did not differ between active conditions or compared to sham.

Summary: There is limited data available on pharmacogenomic studies in individuals with ASD/ID, with most studies focusing on children/adolescents and few on adults. Candidate gene studies on treatment response and adverse effects suggest some associations between certain genes and treatment outcomes, but further research is needed to confirm these links.

Literature
Jean Bessiere
Summary: Literary theories do not provide a unified definition of literature, leading to the belief that such a definition is unnecessary. However, reconsidering the lack of a unified definition based on the ontologies developed by these theories reveals multiple unitary definitions of literature. Three strong ontologies are identified, including literature as a discourse of Being, literature approached from a linguistic perspective, and a median ontology of literature associated with deconstruction and related theories. This article proposes a lesser ontology that is inseparable from the questioning accompanying any literary text, and suggests using Niklas Luhmann's concept of medium to achieve a unified definition of literature and literatures.
