Youth Action Initiative: Needs Assessment & Outcome Evaluation Research

Youth-facing service providers in Waterloo Region have historically faced challenges when engaging marginalized youth. Through the Youth Action Initiative (YAI), Community Justice Initiatives (CJI) in partnership with the Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council (WRCPC) aim to address barriers to equity and engagement for youth in Waterloo Region, particularly for youth who have been historically and continue to be disenfranchised, such as Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC). Two objectives of the YAI are to complete a needs assessment and outcome evaluation research studies. This information will further inform the Waterloo Region Youth Engagement Strategy and guide future youth mandated services offered by CJI, the WRCPC, and other community-based organizations. Overall, this research will communicate the social and economic outcomes youth experience by participating in the YAI.

Connective Intelligence Analytics

Connective Intelligence is a niche professional services firm which specializes in organizational growth, innovation and transformation. While Connective Intelligence has been in business for over 20 years, it’s in a new phase of growth driven by two (2) recent successful product innovations which now require digital innovation and data analytics to further accelerate growth with clients, globally. The first is the Organizational Growth Indicator (OGI) – a proven tool which quantitatively assesses an organization’s ability to grow revenues and change, adaptively. The second is the Growth Leadership Indicator (GLI) which is a tool that assesses a leader’s effectiveness at leading growth and transformation within their organizations. Both of these tools are critical in an era of accelerated change and disruption which makes sustained organizational success and survival more challenging.

Development of selective cannabinoid treatments for neuroinflammation

Inflammation of the brain is a symptom of many different types of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. If left untreated, the inflammation can become a chronic problem that causes further damage to the brain. Different types of cannabinoids are a promising source of potential treatments to dampen inflammation in the central nervous system without the side effects that accompany other anti-inflammatory drugs. Panag Pharma Inc. is a Halifax based biotechnology company that specializes in the development of cannabinoid-based formulations to reduce inflammation and pain. This partnership between Panag Pharma Inc. and Dalhousie University will produce new information about cannabinoid drugs that will help to develop new treatments for brain inflammation.

Preclinical optimization of safety and duration of cold plasma against cancer

The goal of this research is to reduce the risks of recurrence and the treatment side effects for breast cancer patients by combining a new cold plasma technology to the standard of care (surgery and radiotherapy). Cold plasma generates locally specific reactive oxygen species that can kill cancer cells. It could be delivered directly in the tumor bed after the removal of the tumor, to kill remaining cancer cells and therefore improve local control. This project has the potential to enable a Canadian technology, which was invented at McGill University, to become a new adjuvant therapy, alone or in combination with radiotherapy, to help reduce the risks of breast cancer recurrence. This project will perform the last preclinical tests required to provide evidence that this technology has the potential to become a clinically relevant tool.

Système d’information pour la SCA

The goal of this project is to build an information system to help SCA(Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association) improve the information flow between itself and cattle producers, make information more accessible for cattle producers and automate some of the procedure SCA currently has to do manually. Examples include sale reporting via web services and cow tracking via mobile devices. In order to do so, the database of SCA needs to be redesigned and three mobile applications need to be developed. A more effective information system helps SCA to increase its productivity, reduce the chance of error and have better understanding of the beef market

The impact of leader modeling fallibility on learning and failure correction in health-science sector

Innovation in health-science companies goes hand in hand with uncertainties that may lead to product failures. Failures may offer opportunities to learn valuable lessons to improve organizational practices. However, firms may fail to learn because business leaders may regard these failures as threats to their personal reputation and professional image and try to justify these failures or blame them on others. We posit that leader modeling fallibility (LMF) is one of the critical factors to understanding the role played by CEOs in firms’ response to product failures, including failure correction. LMF refers to business leaders openly acknowledging and discussing errors they made at work. In this project, using secondary data on product recalls from the medical industry in North America, we aim to understand the consequences of LMF at the firm level and explore the mechanisms through which CEOs’ LMF influences firm product failure correction speed. To our partner organization, this project will have lasting impact by contributing to its capacity building for learning, leadership, risk management, and professional growth.

Enhancing foreign speech sound learning through transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation

Adults often struggle to learn new languages since their brains are not as plastic as those of children. The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, and its activity affects a variety of brain areas involved in attention, memory, and perception. By non-invasively stimulating the vagus nerve during language training, it may be possible to increase brain plasticity and accelerate language learning in adults. This project aims to determine whether vagus nerve stimulation with a customized earbud can enhance adults’ learning of new speech sounds. If this is the case, vagus nerve stimulation could provide an inexpensive and effective way to make language learning more efficient, which would have many benefits in today’s multicultural and interconnected world.

Assessments of cortical responses to non-invasive brain stimulation

The proposed research project will aim to measure the reliability of changes in brain activity induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS is a non-invasive therapy that has been used to evoke changes in local and network-level brain activity in various clinical populations, including stroke and depression. The proposed project will test rTMS effectiveness and reproducibility using both neurophysiological (electroencephalography) as well as functional/behavioural outcomes. Different rTMS protocols will be tested to determine those that are most effective and reliable. Ultimately, by assessing the intra-individual variability of various rTMS protocols, this research will help improve clinical use of rTMS, making it more targeted to each individual.
