PROFESSOR MICHAEL FREEMAN
It was a period of residence that would alter the course of his personal life and reinforce his political convictions. He met Manuela during this time, his future wife and partner in life for over 40 years. [Michael Freeman]'s natural warmth, curiosity and genuine concern for those around him propelled him into those intellectual circles that were naturally hostile to the suffocating consequences of life under the Salazar regime and he made enduring friendships, such as with the future president of post-Salazar Portugal, Mario Soares. Freeman's anecdotes of life during that period illustrated his characteristic ability to deploy his urbanity to defuse potentially difficult situations but also his determination not to betray his natural sense of justice, qualities he would invest in the defence of his discipline and his colleagues throughout his career. As is not always the case with major figures in French studies in the English-speaking world, Freeman also engaged with, and was much admired by, the leading authorities in his field in France. The critical editions he produced of the works of the 16th-century poet and dramatist Etienne Jodelle, and his contemporary and fellow dramatist Pierre de Larivey, are widely used there. His long and fruitful friendship with Jean Derens went back to a chance meeting as research students in the dusty recesses of the Bibliothque nationale in Paris. Later, with Jean Dufournet and others, they constituted a focus for research excellence on the poet Franois Villon, resulting in numerous colloquia, especially in Paris, and publications, including Freeman's last major scholarly monograph, Franois Villon in His Works: the Villain's Tale (2000).

Evaluation of the feasibility and impacts of in situ simulation in emergency medicine—a mixed-method study protocol
IntroductionIn situ simulation (ISS) consists of performing a simulation in the everyday working environment with the usual team members. The feasibility of ISS in emergency medicine is an important research question, because ISS offers the possibility for repetitive, regular simulation training consistent with specific local needs. However, ISS also raises the issue of safety, since it might negatively impact the care of other patients in the emergency department (ED). Our hypothesis is that ISS in an academic high-volume ED is feasible, safe and associated with benefits for both staff and patients.MethodsA mixed-method, including a qualitative method for the assessment of feasibility and acceptability and a quantitative method for the assessment of patients’ safety and participants’ psychosocial risks, will be used in this study.Two distinct phases are planned in the ED of the CHU de Québec-Université Laval (Hôpital de l’Enfant-Jésus) between March 2021 and October 2021. Phase 1: an ISS programme will be implemented with selected ED professionals to assess its acceptability and safety and prove the validity of our educational concept. The number of cancelled sessions and the reasons for cancellation will be collected to establish feasibility criteria. Semistructured interviews will evaluate the acceptability of the intervention. We will compare unannounced and announced ISS. Phase 2: the impact of the ISS programme will be measured with validated questionnaires for the assessment of psychosocial risks, self-confidence and perceived stress among nonselected ED professionals, with comparison between those exposed to ISS and those that were not.Ethics and disseminationThe CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research ethics board has approved this protocol (#2020–5000). Results will be presented to key professionals from our institution to improve patient safety. We also aim to publish our results in peer-reviewed journals and will submit abstracts to international conferences to disseminate our findings.

COVERT6: A TOOL TO CORROBORATE THE EXISTENCE OF IPV6 COVERT CHANNELS
Covert channels are any communication channel that can be exploited to transfer information in a manner that violates the system's security policy. Research in the field has shown that, like many communication channels, IPv4 and the TCP/IP protocol suite have been susceptible to covert channels, which could be exploited to leak data or be used for anonymous communications. With the introduction of IPv6, researchers are acutely aware that many vulnerabilities of IPv4 have been remediated in IPv6. However, a proof of concept covert channel system was demonstrated in 2006. A decade later, IPv6 and its related protocols have undergone major changes, which has introduced a need to reevaluate the current state of covert channels within IPv6. The current research demonstrates the corroboration of covert channels in IPv6 by building a tool that establishes a covert channel against a simulated enterprise network. This is further validated against multiple channel criteria.

A Screening Procedure for Prioritizing Riparian Management
A spatially explicit linear, additive model was developed for quantifying site characteristics of riparian areas of the lower Cedar River, Washington, USA. The spatial complexity and distribution of combined habitat and anthropogenic landscape features were used to define habitat \"indices\" that indicate the relative quality of riparian habitats. Patches of contiguous grid cells were measured in terms of their locations, sizes, and relative degree of fragmentation. Additionally, intrapatch heterogeneity was measured to identify unique combinations of habitat and anthropogenic factors for individual grid cells within patches. Model verification indicated that existing floodplain riparian habitats received positive indices more than 90% of the time. Mean patch sizes and fragmentation indices were similar for all positive indices throughout the reaches in the valley floor. Among all reaches, reach 7 had the highest number of positive patches due to a higher degree of meandering in this reach. This procedure and model outputs provide unique screening opportunities for prioritizing management of riparian areas (e.g., conservation, restoration and enhancement).
