Facilitation of early mobilization after colorectal surgery: a randomized controlled trial

There is growing evidence that outcomes after colorectal surgery are improved with the use of perioperative interventions combined into an enhanced recovery program (ERP). Encouraging patients to achieve specific daily nutrition and mobilization goals postoperatively is an important aspect of ERPs; however, it is not known whether the achievement of these goals needs to be facilitated by a member of the healthcare team. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which postoperative recovery is influenced by facilitation of nutrition and mobility. The evidence obtained from this study has the potential to optimize resource utilization by indicating whether patients can selfmanage postoperative mobilization and nutrition; or by suggesting the need to have a team member dedicated to facilitate this aspect of care. Our partner (Codivien) is a global healthcare products company committed to invest in research focused on improving delivery of care and outcomes of surgical technology.

Impacts of new amendments on wheat growth and soil health of a Black Chernozemic soil

The proposed project objective is to conduct a field study on an acidic soil located at the Battle River Research Group site near Galahad, Alberta. The study will focus on the effects of land application of materials such as biochar, wood ash and sugar beet sludge lime on reducing acidity of the soil, and effects on wheat health and soil health. The materials applied to land are considered waste materials that are often disposed in landfills, and if that continues will put more pressure on land resources needed to build more landfills. These materials may be useful in correcting acidic soils and providing important nutrients for plant growth. This will benefit the Battle River Research Group with knowledge gained on whether land application of these materials, often considered as wastes, could be a feasible, low-cost option for correcting soil acidity problems compared to agricultural lime and if that could improve wheat growth and overall soil health.

Architecture résiliente aux inondations : développement d’expertise et transfert de connaissances

Le projet génèrera des connaissances sur les mesures d’adaptation du cadre bâti aux inondations à l’échelle des bâtiments et des communautés. Ce projet comble un manque d’information sur les manières d’habiter et de planifier les zones inondables constructibles au Québec.
L’analyse de cas de défaillance de mesures de protection contre les inondations permettra le développement d’outils de communication destinés à sensibiliser les parties prenantes au risque potentiel. La modélisation de typologies architecturales adaptées à différents scénarios d’inondation contribuera aux réflexions entourant la conception de la résilience des communautés aux inondation.
Les contributions des stagiaires s’inscrivent dans un des objectifs du programme de résilience diluvienne d’ASFQ : valoriser le rôle de l’architecture dans la protection du cadre bâti contre les impacts des changements climatiques. ASFQ utilisera les connaissances colligées et outils co-développés par le ou la stagiaire lors d’activités de communication grand public et de formation professionnelle sur l’adaptation du cadre bâti aux inondations.

Goodness Kiosk

Benevity is a global leader in workplace giving and volunteering solutions. Benevity’s flagship product “Spark” is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application which allows users to engage in their company’s donation and volunteering programs through a web or mobile application. It is common for our clients to run events or campaigns where they would like to collect donations, but this is not easily possible using our existing SaaS application.
For this project, we will leverage modern internet-connected credit card payment technologies to expose Benevity’s powerful donation processing platform via a simple “tap to donate” device, which can be configured for a specific amount and for a specific charity. The device can be left out with accompanying signage anywhere there is an internet connection, and individuals can simply tap to make a quick donation.

Developmental potential of oocytes after cryopreservation Year Two

Oocyte cryopreservation is imperative for assisted reproductive technologies (ART). It offers cancer patients to preserve their oocytes for future fertilization, flexibility in the timing of infertility treatment, and the potential for establishing oocyte banking. However, the currently available protocol is limited because the oocytes after cryopreservation have lower ability to develop into viable embryos (developmental competence) compared to unfrozen oocytes. The aim of proposed study is to improve the conditions of oocyte cryopresrvation which subsequently result in an increase in oocyte competence. This aim will be achieved by supplementing the cryopreservation medium with substances, known to play roles in oocyte metabolism, energy production, and oxidative stress prevention, and testing subsequent oocyte development into embryos by using murine models. The established protocol will be used to improve human oocyte cryopreservation technology at the Montreal Reproductive Center (MRC).

Integrate Goodness Capabilities into Microsoft Teams

Benevity is a global leader in workplace giving and volunteering solutions. Benevity’s flagship product “Spark” is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application which allows users to access a catalog of “goodness content”, which consists of giving and volunteering opportunities associated with registered charitable organizations. One of the ongoing challenges Benevity faces, as do many content platforms, is encouraging users to return to the platform to engage with the content. One strategy is to “push the content to where the users are”. For Benevity, this means exposing content from our platform via APIs so that they can be discovered from within third-party applications where users are spending their time, such as collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and Slack. For this project, we will build an integration with Microsoft Teams to allow users to discover and interact with the catalog of Benevity’s goodness content. The expected outcome is increased user participation and engagement in the company’s workplace giving and volunteering program.

Cross-Disciplinary Research Networks and Universal Communications: Stan VanDerBeek’s Multimedia Collaborations.

My project conducts a cultural history of the postwar period in North America, by investigating experimental cinema’s entanglement within a network of interdisciplinary and multimedia experimentations. Specifically, I focus on the interactions of filmmaker Stanley VanDerBeek with two interdisciplinary projects that were conceived as investigations on the interrelation of art, new media, technology, and anthropology: the Explorations research group –led by Marshall McLuhan and anthropologist Edmund Carpenter– and Experiments in Art and Technology –launched in 1966 by a group of engineers and artists. VanDerBeek produced a large corpus of writings on his vision of cinema as an “expanded medium,” and his search for a “non-verbal international picture-language.” I contend that this universalist ideal to connect the entire world through media has its roots not only in the discipline of communication but also anthropology. Experimental cinema is a fragment of these cultural and scientific interactions, and crystalizes their articulation in a coherent discourse.

Evaluating the Effects of Fatigue and Bracing on Knee Kinematic and Kinetic Measures

The overall purpose of this research is to measure the effect of lower extremity muscular fatigue and bracing on the hip, knee, and ankle joint biomechanics in two different populations; i) those at risk of ACL injury and ii) those with early onset osteoarthritis. This topic is significant because muscle fatigue is often considered as a risk factor for injuries to the knee
The two main objectives of this study are: i) quantify the effect of an Ossur knee brace on the motions of the knee joint in a fatigued and non-fatigued state; and ii) implement this knowledge to design a novel brace with embedded wearable sensors to track fatigue and joint motions in real-time.
We will recruit 40 participants (20 young [15-20 years] athletes and 20 older adults [35-50 years] with early onset osteoarthritis). Using a motion tracking system, force plates, and instruments to measure muscle activation, joint motions, ground reaction forces, and muscle activation patterns will be quantified, respectively. Participants will perform complex multi-planar movements in a fatigued and un-fatigued state, with and without the OSSUR knee brace.
