An Exploration of the Barriers and Facilitators to Access of Oral Health Care of Ukrainian Newcomers to Nova Scotia

The proposed research project will study the past and present oral health care knowledge and experiences of Ukrainians who have arrived in Nova Scotia, Canada since February 2022, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. This will include an exploration of perceptions and knowledge of oral health, experience navigating oral health care services in Ukraine and Nova Scotia and identification of barriers and facilitators to accessing oral health care services. Utilizing a narrative qualitative methodology, in-depth, semi-structured interviews will be held with participants recruited through the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia using a purposive sampling technique. The study is anticipated to provide insight into barriers and facilitators of access to oral health care services experienced by Ukrainian newcomers to Nova Scotia. Findings will help to inform oral health policy and practice with the goal of improving access to preventative and restorative oral health care services for Ukrainian refugees in Canada.

Tractography of the central olfactory pathway in prodromal Alzheimer’s disease

The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is currently made when the criteria for dementia are met, i.e. when the cognitive deficits are severe enough to interfere with the person’s autonomy. Thus, it is important to find early markers of Alzheimer’s disease in order to be able to intervene before the dementia stage, in prodromal stages of the disease. Olfactory impairment may be an early marker of the disease, the impairment being present in the mild cognitive impairment stage, a stage between subjective cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. On a neurological level, no study have evaluated the central olfactory pathway within the mild cognitive impairment stage of the disease.
The objective of the study is to compare the central olfactory pathway integrity between people within prodromal stages of Alzheimer’s disease and a healthy older adult group. This study will be the first to assess white matter integrity within central olfactory network within individuals at risk of developing AD. Our results could lead to the development of of new clinical tools for early detection of AD dementia that will combine behavioral measures (olfactory and memory tests) and neuroimaging measures (white matter integrity damage).

Development of sensors and interface electronics for consumer and industrial applications

Accelerometers are a type of sensor that have various applications from everyday handheld devices such as smart phones to complex systems such as airplanes. Sensors are devices that we use to “see”, “hear” or” sense” the environment around us. With accelerometers, we are measuring motions. When there is movement and as a result an acceleration is applied to a device, there is mass in the structure that moves, this movement can change some properties of the sensor; in this case, the capacitor on the device will change and with electronic interface we are measuring the change in the capacitance; Finally a current or voltage proportional to the applied acceleration will be produced, and we can use that output to determine the movement/position.

Role of nocturnal fluid redistribution in the pathogenesis of sleep apnea Year One

Sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder among heart failure (HF) patients where it increases the mortality risk. Therefore, it is important to develop new treatments for sleep apnea. We have proposed that fluid which is accumulated in the legs during day moves towards the head when lying down to sleep and accumulates in the neck or lung; which could be a major contributor to the development of sleep apnea in HF patients. Therefore, we aim to determine whether: 1) the relative degree of fluid shift into the neck and lungs at night is associated with the severity of sleep apnea; 2) the respiratory sounds recorded from the neck and lungs can be used to estimate the amount of nocturnal fluid accumulated in the neck or lungs. If so, a new approach for the therapy of sleep apnea would be to prevent fluid accumulation in the legs during the day.

Charitable Gaming Platform Innovation and Enhancements

Charitable Gaming Platform Innovation and Enhancements
The Lotto Factory was established in 2018 and has developed, tested, and deployed an online gaming platform for the charitable and not-for-profit sectors. This initial version of the platform has been adopted by more than 150 charitable and not-for-profit organizations allowing them to raise much-needed unrestricted funds online. Our platform has gained market acceptance and validation while also attracting the interest of competitors expressing their interest in purchasing or licensing our technology.
We have recently concluded the need to pivot as an organization and develop new and innovative products and processes to meet market demand while also meeting provincial jurisdictional requirements. It is worth noting there are just under 85,000 registered charities in Canada as well as a greater number of bonafide not-for-profit community-based organizations which could benefit from our platform.
These new and innovative products and platform enhancements have been identified and suggested/provided primarily by clients and/or regulators over the past three years. Each enhancement or new product will require a detailed scope of work through which to identify the processes and technical problems which the interns will need to develop and/or solve.
The interns will assist in the development of new processes and the creation of innovative products which will be beneficial to charitable and not-for-profit organizations.

Investigation of Plant Volatiles on Grapes and Wine

Grapes will be exposed to volatiles from plants to investigate if the sensory profile of wine made from those grapes can be improved. The volatiles from forest fire smoke can get into grapes and negatively affect the sensory profile of wines, which is referred to as smoke taint. Grapes are most susceptible to smoke taint during their ripening stage, or veraison. Using this logic, the grapes will be subjected to plant volatiles during veraison. Additionally, grapes exposed to smoke will be compared with those not exposed to smoke by using metabolomics, which is the study of small molecules within cells and tissue. This will help scientists better understand the pathways and interactions of smoke taint compounds in the grapes. The project will require the development of new methods to quantify the terpenes in wine and to better understand the smoke taint compounds.

Preliminary study to measure the physiological mechanism of the BPRelief band at lowering high blood pressure in humans.

Hypertension is a cardiovascular condition that leads to 8.5 million deaths per year around the world and is linked to a higher risk of stroke and kidney failure. Hypertension is defined by a higher-than-normal force the blood pushes on blood vessel walls in between each heart pump. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years to control for high blood pressure. WAT Medical Enterprise Inc. is a Canadian company that developed a wrist band (BPRelief) that stimulates acupuncture points to decrease high blood pressure. For this project, a cold pressor test triggers a temporary increase in blood pressure to see if the BPRelief band can decrease it. If the BPRelief band can decrease the increase in blood pressure during the cold pressor test, this study would serve as a proof of concept for the BPRelief and lead to projects in participants who live with high blood pressure.

A semantic-based packet forwarding model for SDN

Software designed Networks (SDN), in particular OpenFlow and FORCES, encourage the writing of network protocols and policies as programs with the stated goal to make those programs ever more expressive, more predictable, more evolvable and more usable. Within the OpenFlow initiative, the level of programmability is expressed in a set of policy rules that are distributed over a set of matchfield tables. The rules are expressed as matchfields and actions whereby the matchfields require searching over a 14-tuple structure. This is the main bottleneck issue for flow packet processing.

Développement de stratégies de gestion de la reprise après pannes

Suite à une panne du réseau électrique, les principaux équipements des ménages voient leur consommation énergétique s’accroître pour combler le déficit accumulé pendant la panne. Par exemple, les équipements de chauffage et climatisation s’activeront à pleine capacité jusqu’au rétablissement des températures de consigne. Il en résulte, au niveau du réseau de distribution, en une demande supérieure à celle normalement rencontrée en période de pointe. C’est donc la puissance en période de reprise qui est utilisée aux fins du dimensionnement du réseau de distribution. Si on limitait la puissance associée à la reprise, on pourrait réduire les besoins d’investissements qui seront associés à l’accroissement général de la demande en électricité, qui sera substantielle si on veut atteindre les objectifs de décarbonation de l’économie.
Ce projet vise l’élaboration de stratégies de contrôle qui permettraient de réduire la demande en électricité de certains équipements des ménages suite à une panne d’alimentation électrique.
