On Monday February 19, students in Block 3 of Medicine at UNamur and Midwifery in the Paramedical Department at Hénallux took part in the second edition of a project to raise awareness of domestic violence. Conceived by the two institutions, the project takes the form of an escape game entitled "Oseras-tu poser la question" ("Dare to ask the question"). Used as part of the practical work on "Professional communication in healthcare" in the Medical Psychology course taught by Martin Desseilles, professor at the Faculty of Medicine at UNamur, this escape game aims to train future healthcare professionals to detect signs of domestic violence in patients during consultations and to act accordingly.

At the heart of the Faculty, numerous student initiatives bring life to the campus. Supported by the sciencesPo Faculty of Economics Management Communication (EMCP), they enable every student to achieve their full potential. What's more, the Namur campus offers many other ways to get involved and get involved.

Medical certificate & Exam postponement In the event of illness during an examination period, you may refer to the Study Regulations:Article 43. Inability to take part in an assessment§1st. Any student registered for an assessment who is unable to take part must notify the examiner concerned and the vice-dean or his/her delegate no later than the day of the assessment, and comply with the provisions of article 44. Otherwise, a student's absence from an assessment will be sanctioned by a mark of 0/20.§2. To prove that a student is unable to take part in an assessment, he or she may present a medical certificate covering the period in question.§3. It is forbidden to take part in an assessment during the period covered by a medical certificate. The student who participates in an assessment despite a deficient state of health or serious personal problems, cannot under any circumstances have the result subsequently cancelled, even with a medical certificate or any other attestation.

Floriane Goosse, a PhD student at the University of Namur, within the NaDI-CeRCLe research center, has received the prestigious "Best Research Paper Award" for her thesis paper conducted in collaboration with Wafa Hammedi, professor in the Department of Management at UNamur, and Dominik Mahr, from Maastricht University.

An opportunity as part of the master's degree in management engineering, if you choose the "digital & information management" option.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 was quickly declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020.At the start of the pandemic, healthcare professionals were faced with the marketing of numerous kits designed to measure binding antibodies. The role of neutralizing antibodies as the best correlate of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection was quickly highlighted. A neutralization assay with the use of pseudovirus was therefore developed by our team and compared with several binding assays.There have been considerable efforts to produce and clinically validate new vaccines against COVID-19. The CRO-VAX HCP study was designed to assess the humoral response in a population of healthcare professionals who had received two doses of COVID-19 BNT162b2 vaccine.Given the decline in vaccine efficacy over time and the emergence of variants likely to evade immunity, a third dose was quickly recommended by the authorities to boost immunity. This was administered to 155 volunteers in the CRO-VAX HCP study.Still facing a decline in vaccine efficacy over time and the emergence of new variants, a second adapted booster was proposed. In September 2022, 54 participants in the CRO-VAX HCP study received this second booster. The humoral response was assessed and neutralizing antibodies against several variants were measured. In addition, we also measured the cellular response using an interferon-gamma release assay. Compared with the humoral response, which declines considerably over time, the cellular response remained fairly stable. This could therefore explain why individuals with low antibody titers can still be protected against a severe form of the disease .

What? BENEVOL on Thursday and Friday, November 21 and 22: the congress will bring together researchers working in software engineering, evolution, and maintenance. This year, we will have two keynotes: one by Prof. Andy Zaidman from TU Delft and one by Prof. Sonia Haiduc from Florida State University. IMPACT! day on November 20: as a PhD student and/or researcher, you can join us to learn to communicate what you bring to the table efficiently thanks to the tried and tested Value Proposition canvas and exchange with practitioners, who will expose the challenges they encounter daily. The IMPACT! day initiative is supported by the GRASCOMP doctoral school, and participants will receive a certificate. As a software development professional, you can join us on Wednesday afternoon, November 20, as a guest from the corporate world to share your current challenges and connect with researchers working to advance software development and maintenance practices (please do not hesitate to contact us at snail.info@unamur.be if you would like to participate in the introductory panel of guests from the professional world and/or at the World Café). When? Wednesday 20 (IMPACT Day!)
