Impact of Lumbar Vibrotactile Plantar Sensory Substitution System on Gait and Balance

Peripheral neuropathy is a medical condition that leads to a loss of sensation in the feet. Due to this loss, patients suffering from this condition are at an increased risk of falling due to impaired control of posture and gait function. Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. has developed a biomedical device to substitute the sensory loss in the feet. The device consists of pressure sensing insoles that provide real-time feedback to the patient about the pressure distribution at the feet. The main objective of this collaboration is to investigate the effectiveness of the device to improve postural control and gait function in patients with peripheral neuropathy. These results directly contribute to the understanding of the medical device and facilitate an application for patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy with the ultimate goal of improving their quality of life.

Criterium Group – Analyst/Junior Consultant

Since the first case in Alberta, COVID-19 has impacted everyone, especially the most vulnerable. At Criterium Group, we pride ourselves on our resiliency; with our agile structure and ways of working, we have been able to adapt to these challenging times. In light of the pandemic, we have focused on working with our clients to support their strategy development and adapt their structures and processes, so they too can be resilient. In addition to supporting current projects in both the private and public sector, one client and partnership we want to support even further and highlight is the United Way of Calgary and Area (UWCA).
UWCA has had to shift their focus on dealing with the crisis at hand and requires consultancy support in paving the way for even greater resilience in the future. Criterium Group is proposing to hire four to five interns from the top Canadian universities to consult for UWCA. Criterium Group would cover the costs and would provide consulting services to UWCA as pro bono. Specifically, the Criterium Group interns would support the Social Impact Lab (Lab) and Digital Transition initiatives.

Saskatchewan Government Insurance BSI Project

The main objective of this project is to comprise a document that illustrates a recommended program framework for SGI to implement that will measure and monitor Corporate Claims. This will be accomplished through conducting research of industry best practices within the insurance sector and comparing and contrasting these practices with one another. Additionally, information will be gathered from claims operations from both SGI Auto Fund and SGI Canada insurance departments. Through this research and collaboration, a comparison of potential alternatives will be looked at which will most likely involve a cost-benefit analysis. From all of this, a recommended framework will be developed for SGI to put into place, which will monitor and measure claims within the organization.

Improving Construction Permitting Process using Predictive Analytics

In public sector, the decision making of construction permitting can have direct impacts on the ongoing urban development. The efficiency and predictability of the review process is critical for municipalities to provide timely and accurate results to the public. As the review process is managed digitally with process data available, using data analytics to develop predictive models can result in improvement of efficiency and predictability. Therefore, the City of Edmonton collaborates with the University of New Brunswick on a research project to utilize simulation techniques to provide predictive analytics to assist construction permit decision making. A Discrete Event Simulation (DES) will be used to represent the construction permit procedures virtually and incorporate historical and real-time data to predict the permit processing time. The developed simulation engine will be able to run what-if analysis to improve resource assignment in the permit review process, and eventually reduce the inefficiencies and bottlenecks. The develop simulation model will be integrated with the City of Edmonton’s existing operating system to provide timely decision support information for its construction permit review process.

Rôle du calcium dans l’effet toxique de la désoxynivalenol dans des modèles in vitro de cellules intestinales et hépatiques

La mycotoxine désoxynivalénol (DON), chez le porc, entraine entre autre l’anorexie et l’affaiblissement de la réponse immunitaire. L’alimentation animale est mondialement contaminée par le DON. Le développement de stratégie antimycotoxine se bute au manque de compréhension de l’action du DON. L’hypothèse de la stimulation par le DON de l’axe neuroendocrinien Intestin-cerveau qui conduit à un sentiment de satiété précoce chez le porc, impliquerait le métabolisme phosphocalcique. Ce stage au centre INRAE de Toulouse mettra en évidence les interactions entre le DON et le métabolisme calcique au niveau de l’effet toxique du DON sur la muqueuse intestinale et le foie. Nous allons 1) étudier l’effet du DON dans un modèle de cellules intestinales soumises à différentes concentrations en calcium ; 2) étudier l’effet du DON sur les gènes associés au métabolisme du calcium ; 3) valider les effets de DON observés sur la muqueuse intestinale dans des explants de foie, un tissu impliqué dans le métabolisme antioxydant.

PI3K-dependant regulatory B cells in immunity

Our research focus is to understand the function of the PI3K family of enzymes, and the intracellular signals they produce, in immune system defenses and regulatory functions. Our specific aim is to understand how the dynamics of immune responses generated by B cells are controlled by these signaling enzymes to produce protective or ineffective immune responses in the context of specific infectious diseases. Folayemi’s studies have shown that there is unexpectedly improved control of early infection when PI3Kdelta enzyme activity is defective. The research of Professors Marshall (Winnipeg) and Okkenhaug (Cambridge UK) have converged in identifying PI3Kdelta-dependent regulatory B cells as critical regulators of the immune response to various infections. Collaborative work will combine expertise, novel concepts, animal models and immunological analyses developed in the UK and Canada. This Globalink award will support PhD student Folayemi Adefemi to visit Cambridge from April-June 2021 to perform laboratory research related to the collaboration, and additional exchange of a UK student to Winnipeg is planned.

The effect of probiotic supplementation on sleep, depression-like behavior, and central glucose and lactate metabolism in male and female pubertal mice exposed to chronic sleep disruption.

Depression is a common and dangerous mental disorder. Depression can develop during puberty after repeat exposure to stress. In our past studies, we found that both male and female pubertal mice will show depressive behaviour after experiencing repeated sleep disruptions. Interestingly, there is a substance called lactate that is produced in humans and mice that may also improve sleep and reduce depression. Certain probiotics, or healthy bacteria, make this lactate will living in the stomachs of humans and mice. We wish to investigate whether these probiotics can increase lactate in sleep disrupted mice and report how probiotic treatment effects sleep and depression. Electrodes will be inserted in the brains of sleep disrupted mice to monitor lactate and sleep patterns following probiotic treatment. Depression will be measured with behavioral tests. We expect that probiotic treatment will increase lactate in the brain and improve sleep and depressive behaviour.

Risk aggregation beyond the normal limits

Risk aggregation is omnipresent in insurance applications. A recent example, borrowed from the modern regulatory accords, is the determination of the aggregate economic capital and its consequent allocation to risk drivers. A more traditional illustration of the importance of risk aggregation in insurance is the celebrated collective risk theory that dates back to the early years of the 20th century. This project will assist Sun Life Financial to build and implement an efficient quantitative framework to approximate the aggregate risk of its portfolio. Among the implications are a better quantitative and qualitative understanding of company’s risk, liability and capital profile, and, more generally, an improved risk management decision making process.

Fichte’s Theory of Manifestation: Philosophy and Religion from 1804-1806

The project offers an original solution to the problem of the possibility of religious language as posed by Immanuel Kant. Using a method he called “transcendental,” Kant grounded the possibilities of knowledge in objects, rejecting Christian theology. Thinking religion today therefore means contending with the Kantian frame, either upholding its Enlightenment principles and rejecting the possibility of theology, or trying to overcome it, restoring theology to what it was before. Yet neither option is viable. My research therefore posits a third option, as yet unexplored in the literature. It does so by positing that one of Kant’s immediate successors, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, put forth a philosophical theory of manifestation that is neither a retreat to pre-Kantian theology, nor an Enlightenment dismissal of theology. Rather, it seeks to establish a philosophy of religion using Kant’s transcendental method, one that is not only its necessary product, but the expansion of its frontiers.
