Developing New Strategies to Evaluate Capital Construction Project Planning

Construction companies spend significant amounts of resources on front end planning (FEP). The potential to obtain substantial benefits from a strategic implementation of front end planning practices across an entire portfolio have made the evaluation of FEP an important issue for both project leaders and scholars. The opportunity now exists to mine the constituent elements of the index based on historical project data sets to develop methods for planning proactive strategies in capital projects execution. The main objective of this proposal is the development of a new statistical analysis method for examining FEP data to streamline and monitor project resources throughout the project lifecycle. This method would be more broadly applicable for use with further discoveries such as operational excellence management, where health and safety risk reporting is a constant challenge for capital projects.

UV Based Intervention Strategies to Improve the Microbiological Safety and Shelf-life of Sliced Mushrooms

Sliced mushrooms have occasionally been recalled due to the recovery of Listeria monocytogenes from sampled product. As a consequence there is a need to introduce technologies that can reduce the risk of carriage of Listeria on sliced mushrooms. Due to the sensitive nature of mushrooms there are relatively few options in terms of decontamination technologies. Washing tends to result in hydration of mushrooms leading to premature spoilage and hence aqueous free methods are required. The approach in the current study will be to apply Advanced Oxidative Process that is essentially the generation of an oxidative burst of radicals from the UV decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The method has been demonstrated to work on a lab scale and the project aims to developed large units that are compatible with commercial scale production. Moreover it will be essential to demonstrate that Listeria can be inactivated without negative effects on the sensory characteristics of the mushrooms. The project brings together academia, mushroom growers and engineers.

Musical Culture & Pedagogy: A Study of Middle School Students in Chongqing

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the music education provided for Chinese students between the ages of eleven to fourteen, and how these students are engaging with music in their culture. By using firsthand observation of classrooms, schools, and public venues in Chongqing, the researchers will collect and organize data regarding the music curriculum, availability and condition of musical instruments, teaching techniques and philosophies, and the prevalence of music in students’ daily lives. It is expected that this observational research will reveal some notable differences in music education and music pervasiveness for students in China, as compared to what is common in Canada. Ideally, observations of key distinctions of Chinese music education and the surrounding music culture (as it relates to senior elementary students) will offer insight into improving the quality of teaching music in Canada.

Narratives of Canadian Teacher Candidates’ Cross-cultural Experience in China

This study will explore narrative perspectives from Canadian teacher candidates’ cross-cultural experience in Chongqing, China from March 2015 to June 2015, and will be built on participant experiences during the Teacher Education Reciprocal Learning Program between University of Windsor and Southwest University China. Inquiries into the Canadian students’ learning trip in China will discover how they respond and react, their personal and professional beliefs, whether they go through any struggles and tensions, how they cope with and grow out of those struggles and tensions and what they have gained from this learning trip. With a focus on the Canadian student teachers’ personal and professional significance of cross-cultural knowledge and understanding and a narrative inquiry approach, student participants will might reveal their changing cross-cultural outlooks and increasing global perspectives throughout this study trip. Their personal beliefs with multi-cultural and inclusive notions which may be accompanied by cross-cultural struggles and tensions between Canada and China are expected to show in this research.

Classroom Management: Decoding the Strategies of Chinese Elementary Teachers

This research aims to answer the question: What classroom management strategies do Chinese elementary teachers use in order to obtain student attention? Chinese classroom sizes are much larger than traditional Canadian classrooms, so how do teachers control such great amounts of students? During a three-month stay in Chongqing, China qualitative research methods will be utilized to collect data. Naturalistic observation will be conducted and field notes will be analyzed in order to decode classroom management strategies. Ultimately, these data will be compared to Canadian classroom management strategies and the findings could foster a much improved learning environment here at home.

Comparing Teacher Focused and Inquiry Based Learning Across Cultures

This study involves a comparison of cross cultural observations of students in grade 3 and 4 level in Chongqing, China and Windsor, Ontario. The effectiveness of inquiry based learning during reading and writing activities during Language Arts lessons will be assessed through a daily data entry of what strategy is more effective. First, it is teacher focused, where the teacher makes a lesson, plans it and stays within specific guidelines, and the second method called inquiry based, where the teacher deviates from the lesson, depending on where the students want to go, and what questions arise. The data can help Canada to see different strategies for a lesson and to allow for deeper consideration of traditional teaching.

Narrative Inquiry into Chinese Pre-service Teacher Education and Induction in West China through Cross-cultural Teacher Development

The proposed research is contextualized in the long term Teacher Education Reciprocal Learning Program, which is now part of the SSHRC Partnership Grant Project. This study explores the induction process and experiential stories of five Chinese beginning teachers, from their cross-cultural learning experience in Canada to being beginning teachers in West China. It identifies challenges and strategies, which novice teachers have encountered in their first three years of teaching in West China. Deep understanding of how pre-service teacher candidates try to educate themselves about the world and cultures around them via cross-cultural learning experiences and how they go through the induction process are be explored. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between teachers’ cross-cultural experience and their teaching methods, teaching practices, and thoughts and beliefs about teaching and learning.

Teachers’ reciprocal learning in transnational professional communitiesbetween Ontario and Shanghai secondary schools

The proposed research project investigates two transnational teacher communities between Ontario and Shanghai secondary schools. Teachers’ cross-cultural professional learning is the focus of the study. To understand how, why, and what teachers learn from each other, the project needs to collect data from both countries. While in China, data collection will be completed in two Shanghai sites. The data will include teacher professional development policies, Skype meeting accounts between sister schools, and teacher and principal interviews. Policy documents at both school level and municipal level will be collected. About ten educators, including teachers, principals, and vice principals, will be interviewed in each participating school. Data will be compared to that obtained from Canadian schools.

Treatment and Recovery Monitoring of Post Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Symptoms

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a significant health problem mainly because of its plausible prolonged sequelae and lack of objective measures for recovery. There are usually some disabling persistent post-TBI symptoms (mostly neurological) that do not respond to the current clinical and physical rehabilitation. This proposal aims to investigate the effect of a promising treatment for persistent post TBI symptoms, and to monitor TBI patient’s recovery by an objective technique along with standard clinical assessments. The treatment tool is the application of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the brain. The treatment efficacy and monitoring TBI patients’ recovery will be objectively assessed using Electrovestibulography; this will be in parallel with clinical and standard assessments. The proposed research has the potential to lead to a treatment and objective monitoring protocol that would provide a much faster, more economical and more efficient treatment method than the current techniques.

Dubplates and Sound System Cultures

In the 1920s, many companies popularized the use of aluminum discs coated with nitrocellulose lacquer for instantaneous audio disc recording. In particular, the American company Presto produced a range of discs, cutting lathes, cutter-heads and other equipment, all of which served to encourage home audio recording, as well as the unexpected and experimental use of sound recording equipment. From the 1930s-1950s, a consistent model in the Presto catalog was the 6N semi-professional disc recorder. After being discarded from mainstream commercial uses from the late 1940s onwards, this low-cost yet reliable disc cutting lathe played an important role in development of the Jamaican music industry, being used in the studio of the most famous Jamaican disc cutter King Tubby. In Jamaica, the ability to cut discs on demand led to distinctive forms of anti-colonial sonic resistance in the form of dubplates (i.e. one-off lathe cut records). This research project employs media archaeology (Huhtamo and Parikka, 2011) to assess archival sources in dialogue with contemporary knowledge from disc cutters, and in doing so, brings attention to the buried stories of disc cutting technologies and dubplates in relation to Jamaican sound system culture and its wider reach in Canada and the UK.
