Les étudiants sont à risques de problèmes de santé mentale et les universités canadiennes auraient de la difficulté à y répondre1. La pair-aidance est une approche prometteuse, car les étudiants semblent avoir plus tendance à se confier à leurs pairs3-4. L’entretien motivationnel (EM) est un type de relation d’aide favorisant le changement d’habitudes de vie5. […]

With 10 municipalities combining Emergency Management services, an innovative approach to creating public preparedness in the region is being implemented that seeks to increase the public’s knowledge of risks associated with the area. This knowledge is anticipated to be followed with risk-reducing behaviour, thus decreasing vulnerability and increasing resiliency.

The project aims to enhance veterinary training modules and cultivate a positive workplace culture at Boreal Veterinary Centre. It focuses on improving the retention rates of veterinary professionals, enhancing patient care standards, and fostering a supportive and innovative work environment.

The proposed project will look at participant’s brain activity while completing a stone-stepping task. Brain activity will be measured through EEG while the stone-stepping task will be projected through the Motek C-Mill treadmill. The research goal is to synchronize the data from a motor event occurring on the treadmill to cortical brain activity. The participants […]

The clinical translation of innovative oncology treatments can be boosted by the establishment of alternative in vivo models based on the chick chorioallantoic membrane. In this project, a biomodel based on commercial cancer cell lines, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, will be established and characterized by standard biological assays. The biomodels will be employed for the […]

The objective of this project is assessing the current distribution of kelp forests and to identify potential areas where the environmental conditions could enhance the development and resilience of kelp forests in the Broughton Archipelago, northeast of Vancouver Island. This information will help research, managers, communities, and Bamfield Marine Science Centre, the partner organization, to […]

Non melanoma skin cancer, comprising basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, are the most common cancers with over 75000 cases/year in Canada. They are curable with radiotherapy or surgery with recurrence rates less than 10% with either modality. Age is an important risk factor (the median age is > 65 years of age); many patients […]

This proposal is devoted to two areas of sheep production: animal health (parasitic infection) and feed efficiency, which both impact profitability and sustainability. We will investigate potential machine learning using biomarkers indicating parasite resistance and feed efficiency in differentiated animals early in life. One postdoctoral fellow (PDF) will use metabolomics, genomics, and machine learning to […]

The overall goal for the Active Worker Strategy is to increase movement within the workplace. Office workers tend to be inactive within their working environment, which may cause an increased risk of developing work-related pain later in life. This investigation is going to look into creating office layout guidelines in order to promote a more […]

The Edmonton Valley Zoo and its team is passionate about the natural world and are always looking to find ways to promote environmental responsibility and reduce its own environmental footprint. Our Conservation team works to conserve species in the wild, through endangered species breeding programs, instituting green practices on site, and inspiring action by our […]

The proposed research project aims to review the patient flow management structure on Prince Edward Island (PEI) while making recommendations for future directions to implement a 24/7 resilient patient bed-flow framework. By developing this system the project seeks to optimize resource utilization, while enhancing patient care and outcomes. Through monitoring bed use and assessing trends […]

Obesity and high levels of blood glucose are major risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Controlling food intake and blood glucose responses after a meal may help prevent the development of these diseases. Research suggests that people who consume breakfast cereals are at lower risk of cardiometabolic disease […]
