UPTAKE: Using Personalized risk and digital tools to guide Transitions following Acute Kidney Events – A pragmatic randomized controlled trial in Connect Care

Nearly one in ten people that are hospitalized in Canada develop a complication with sudden loss of kidney function, called acute kidney injury (AKI), which may lead to other severe health problems such as kidney failure requiring dialysis treatment, heart attacks and failure, stroke and even premature death. Discharge from hospital can be a difficult transition where there are often gaps in the identification, communication, care coordination, education and planning around AKI. The Mitacs-funded post-doctoral fellow will participate in and lead aspects of the UPTAKE study, which will involve co-design and evaluation of an intervention to reduce the risk of people with AKI as they transition out of hospital. This is a unique opportunity as it will involve a province wide clinical trial that will be fully embedded into Alberta’s new provincial electronic health record, called Connect Care.

In vitro tissue culture methods for ornamental propagation and new varietal development

The innovation of plant cell and tissue culture (TC) techniques has supported plant propagation programs and allowed for the development of new ornamental varieties. Van Belle Nursery is interested in adapting TC as a method of cultivation but lack the technical expertise and understanding of infrastructure requirements to establish an on-site TC program. Specifically, they are interested in developing TC methods for two economically important varieties. In partnership with Van Belle, the designated intern will establish the following techniques in the chosen varieties: (1) sterile propagation of plants from shoot-tip culture, allowing for the exportation of product to the United States, (2) a method for shoot regeneration from plant cells, avoiding the need for propagation from seed and (3) the development of novel varieties using chemical mutagenesis. Output from these techniques will be used to determine technical feasibility for a commercially scaled TC operation at Van Belle.

Evaluating the potential for biogas production from beer liquid waste arising from a recycling plant

The beer industry is one of the oldest and high demand industries in the world. The major limitation associated with beer can recycling with its content is that it produces large volume of liquid waste that cannot be discharged to water bodies. The expired beer is unsuitable for to be converted as animal feed due to the health safety aspects. There is a need for recycling this liquid waste as it contains valuable nutrients and energy. There is potential for using the waste beer as substrate for biogas production thereby recovering energy as biogas and nutrients as organic fertilizer. There is also the possibility that the liquid supernatant of the anaerobic digestion can be used as hydroponic medium for growing crops. The aim of this research study is to evaluate the potential for recycling waste beer from a can recycling industry for biogas production for energy and nutrient recovery. Beer waste and food waste material characteristics which will be used for biogas production will be determined. We will design and conduct a number of lab experiments to find the best solid/liquid ratio, C:N, and retention time for maximum gas production.

Pratiques adoptées, retombées positives et empowerment des entrepreneur-es lié-es à l’accompagnement en Développement Durable (DD)

Après 5 années de mise en œuvre du programme PROAction par la Société d’Aide au Développement des Collectivités de Nicolet -Bécancour, il est important de porter un regard sur son impact chez les bénéficiaires. PROAction vise à accompagner les entreprises, les organismes et les municipalités de son territoire à mettre en place des actions de développement durable correspondant à leurs enjeux et leur réalité. Il est maintenant opportun d’évaluer son efficacité en matière de pratiques adoptées par les entrepreneurs, de retombées obtenues, et, ultimement, de vérifier si la démarche d’accompagnement échelonnée sur 9 mois a favorisé une appropriation de la culture et des processus de gestion qui permettent de s’améliorer à cet égard sans le support continu d’un organisme externe.

Quantifying future changes in internal climate variability over northern Québec and Labrador

The climate of northern Quebec and Labrador is strongly influenced by climate change and internal (natural) climate variability on time scales ranging from years to decades. Internal variability occurs without human influence and can superimpose onto the anthropogenically forced climate change signal, thus adding uncertainty in the assessment of local climate change impacts. Northern communities being highly vulnerable to changes in their natural environment, it is therefore critical to better quantify internal variability and how it may change in the future. The objective of this project is therefore to quantify the future evolution of internal climate variability in the context of climate change over the region of northern Quebec and Labrador. In line with the Ouranos mission to improve the climatic information delivered to decision makers that develop climate change adaptation strategies, this project will help to find solutions that are in phase with the northern reality.

Incertitude en route vers l’asile : trajectoires de vie rompues et stratégies quotidiennes de migrants ukrainiens forcés

Depuis le début de la phase aiguë de la guerre russo-ukrainienne, plus de 12 millions d’Ukrainiens ont été contraints de quitter leur foyer. Plus de 4 millions d’entre eux sont partis à l’étranger, principalement dans les pays voisins. Qu’ils soient déplacés dans les régions occidentales ou vers d’autres pays, la principale préoccupation des Ukrainiens est l’incertitude quant au présent et à l’avenir. Cette incertitude omniprésente a poussé des millions de personnes à reconsidérer leur monde matériel et social. Je propose d’explorer cette expérience d’incertitude, en utilisant les méthodes ethnographiques d’entretiens et d’observation participante, au sein de l’infrastructure humanitaire rapidement développée par les travailleurs humanitaires et les bénévoles indépendants à la frontière entre l’Ukraine et la Pologne. Ainsi, l’objectif de ma recherche est d’examiner la construction sociale de l’incertitude, en tant que phénomène social produit dans les contextes de migration, ainsi que la manifestation de l’incertitude dans la zone de transit à la frontière, où les gens recréent leurs trajectoires de vie.

Improving GFlowNets for low data drug discovery

GFlowNets are generative networks that consider the generation process as a flow network. They are theoretically better at handling the difficult cases of sampling different modes of a distribution and when different sampling trajectories can yield the same final state. In this work, we hope to explore various improvements to GFlowNets to make them suitable alternatives for molecular generation and optimization in drug discovery. The research can expand the capabilities of chemists and could enable the discovery of new drugs faster and with less resources.

Semi-automated texture synthesis from multi-scale inputs

As virtual worlds grow larger and more detailed, complex content generation is becoming a key issue for media production industries. Creating and populating these virtual scenes with various and detailed 3D entities coherent with their environment is a difficult and time-consuming task mainly based on manual authoring. Developing novel tools that are able to scale up to the increased demand is of central importance for media production industries e.g. video (serious) games, motion pictures industry, etc.
As pointed out by many artistic directors in the computer graphics industry, there is a strong demand for providing efficient computer algorithms to reduce manual editing tasks, that are directly linked to production costs. The goal of this project is to devise new algorithmic procedural tools for the semi-automatic generation of complex objects in real-time applications, tailored for rapid and large content authoring while maintaining a high level of artistic control over the result.

Investigation of wild pollinator diversity and abundance in canola and non-canola habitats in Saskatchewan

Canola is a highly bee-attractive crop which is widely grown in Saskatchewan and commonly treated with agrochemicals, including neonictoinoid insecticides. The impact of canola production on native pollinator populations in Saskatchewan is unknown. In this Mitacs project, Sofiia will compare the abundance and diversity of wild pollinators in canola and non-canola habitats in Saskatchewan and conduct a literature review regarding the effect of intensive agriculture on native pollinators. She will summarize her findings in an article for publication in a nature newsletter to promote awareness of wild pollinators in Saskatchewan.

Measuring outcomes that matter to children, youth and their families in mental health services

The global pandemic has made it clear that there is an urgent need for high-quality mental health services for children and youth. Right now, quality is measured in terms of the number of visits to clinics, emergency departments, hospitalizations, and the costs associated with those services. The voices of children, youth, and their families are largely absent from evaluations of mental health services. This project will engage youth and their caregivers to select a set of patient-reported outcome measures that will be used to evaluate the quality of youth mental health services in Alberta. This work will shape today and tomorrow’s youth mental health services by including patients’ voi
