Le document technologique original dans le droit de la preuve au Québec

L’adoption de la Loi concernant le cadre juridique des technologies de l’information en 2001 a permis de mettre en place un cadre juridique favorisant l’intégration des technologies de l’information dans le droit. Plus particulièrement en droit de la preuve, cela a conféré au document technologique la qualité d’élément de preuve. Dans ce contexte il a été nécessaire d’adapter certains articles du Code civil du Québec et du même fait certaines règles dont la règle de la meilleure preuve, telle que prévue à l’article 2860 C.c.Q.. Cette règle s’appuyait jusqu’à présent sur la notion d’original, notion propre au support papier dont il a fallu trouver un équivalent pour le document technologique. C’est ce qu’a fait la Loi en prévoyant à son article 12 les caractéristiques de l’original technologique. Nous nous penchons sur cette notion en regardant quelles sont ses origines et ses justifications, puis nous avons analysé l’article 12 de la Loi qui traite de l’original sous forme technologique. Enfin nous nous sommes interrogé sur la place des reproductions dans le contexte technologique et nous avons vu que celles-ci ont pris de plus en plus d’importance à côté du document original, au fur et à mesure du perfectionnement des moyens de reproduction.The adoption, in 2001, of the Act to Establish a Legal Framework for Information Technology (the Act) allowed the establishment of a legal framework facilitating the integration of Information Technology in law. More specifically in law of evidence, this allowed for the recognition of the technology-based document as evidence. In this context, it was necessary to adapt certain sections of the Civil Code of Québec and, thus, certain rules, among which the best evidence rule, set forth in Section 2860 C.C.Q. Until the Act, this rule relied on the original, a concept specific to the paper medium; consequently, it became necessary to find an equivalent for the technology-based document. This was done by Section 12 of the Act, which sets out the technology-based original’s characteristics. We will look into this concept’s origins and rationale, before analysing Section 12 of the Act, which addresses the original in a technological form. We will then examine the reproductions’ place in the technological context, and ascertain their growing importance beside that of the original document’s, as the means of reproduction continuoulsy improved

Interactive 4-D Visualization of Stereographic Images From the Double Orthogonal Projection

The double orthogonal projection of the 4-space onto two mutually perpendicular 3-spaces is a method of visualization of four-dimensional objects in a three-dimensional space. We present an interactive animation of the stereographic projection of a hyperspherical hexahedron on a 3-sphere embedded in the 4-space. Described are synthetic constructions of stereographic images of a point, hyperspherical tetrahedron, and 2-sphere on a 3-sphere from their double orthogonal projections. Consequently, the double-orthogonal projection of a freehand curve on a 3-sphere is created inversely from its stereographic image. Furthermore, we show an application to a synthetic construction of a spherical inversion and visualizations of double orthogonal projections and stereographic images of Hopf tori on a 3-sphere generated from Clelia curves on a 2-sphere.Comment: ICGG 2020 submissio

Visualism and technification—the patient behind the screen

At stake in this study is the patient's credibility. The Cartesian philosophical standpoint, which holds sway in western thinking, questions with scepticism whether the reported symptoms are “real.” Do they reside in the body, or are they mentally concocted. However, from the caring perspective any symptom must be both listened and attended to in its own right, not just scrutinized as evidence for an accurate diagnosis

On the design of a didactic proposal for the popularization of law within rural communities

RESUMEN: En este artículo de investigación, pensar en recrear la enseñanza, nos ubicó como profesores investigadores en la pregunta: ¿Cómo popularizar el derecho desde la educación superior en entornos rurales? De ahí que, el objetivo de la investigación fue fundamentar una propuesta didáctica para la popularización del derecho en entornos rurales. En ese sentido, se partió de los postulados de la didáctica universitaria y de la pedagogía crítica, los cuales se enfocan hacia una formación ligada a las realidades sociales, donde se incluye a la comunidad, como otro participante del proceso docente educativo y en la generación de conocimiento útil a la sociedad. De la misma manera, se conceptualizó y fundamentó una propuesta didáctica para la popularización del derecho, concebida desde la educación superior. Así, desde una investigación cualitativa con enfoque hermenéutico, se develó la importancia de formar al estudiante para que popularice el saber jurídico, desarrolle un proceso intencional y motivador, asuma su rol en la sociedad y concrete el papel que el saber jurídico tiene en relación con la solución de problemas reales y sentidos de las comunidades rurales.ABSTRACT: In this research article, thinking of recreating teaching, placed us as research professors in the question: How to popularize law from higher education in rural settings? Hence, the objective of the research was to base a didactic proposal for the popularization of law in rural environments. In that sense it was based on the postulates of university didactics and critical pedagogy, which focus on a formation linked to social realities, where the community is included as another participant in the educational process and in the generation of useful knowledge to the community. In the same way, it was conceptualized and based around the design of a didactic proposal for the popularization of law, conceived from higher education. Thus, from qualitative research with a hermeneutical approach, the importance of training the student to popularize legal knowledge, develop an intentional and motivational process, assume his role in society and concretize the role that legal knowledge has in relation to the solution of real and urgent problems the rural communities face, was reveale

Wall-Crossing in Coupled 2d-4d Systems

We introduce a new wall-crossing formula which combines and generalizes the Cecotti-Vafa and Kontsevich-Soibelman formulas for supersymmetric 2d and 4d systems respectively. This 2d-4d wall-crossing formula governs the wall-crossing of BPS states in an N=2 supersymmetric 4d gauge theory coupled to a supersymmetric surface defect. When the theory and defect are compactified on a circle, we get a 3d theory with a supersymmetric line operator, corresponding to a hyperholomorphic connection on a vector bundle over a hyperkahler space. The 2d-4d wall-crossing formula can be interpreted as a smoothness condition for this hyperholomorphic connection. We explain how the 2d-4d BPS spectrum can be determined for 4d theories of class S, that is, for those theories obtained by compactifying the six-dimensional (0,2) theory with a partial topological twist on a punctured Riemann surface C. For such theories there are canonical surface defects. We illustrate with several examples in the case of A_1 theories of class S. Finally, we indicate how our results can be used to produce solutions to the A_1 Hitchin equations on the Riemann surface C.Comment: 170 pages, 45 figure
