The proposed project undertakes a comparative study of existing regional archaeological data management systems and practices. Deconstructive analysis of each of these systems will preface a comparison of their component parts and identify relative absences and deficiencies. When reassembled, a theorizing of why these systems might be “missing pieces” can be undertaken recognizing their jurisdictional […]

The project will develop a firm-level multi-criteria supply chain design and management tool for Parmalat that will accommodate conflict and convergence between requirements for lean, agile, green, resilient, and nutrition characteristics that are all needed for convergent innovation (CI) in the dairy sector supply chain. A three-pronged program of activity is proposed in this project […]

This project will develop new operational management systems by combining the elements of Lean, Agile, Green, Resilient and Nutrition (LAGRN) management of the dairy supply chain. The supply chain of Parmalat Canada will be used as a case study. This study is particularly significant for a company like Parmalat Canada, as it is trying to […]

Why do young Canadians not vote at high levels in elections? Are young Canadians simply apathetic and disengaged, or are they finding new ways to participate in Canadian democracy?

Well-being problems (e.g., burnout, depression, and efficacy) have been a long standing issue among educators in Early Learning and Care (ELC) settings. This issue not only impacts the health status and work performance among educators, and by association influences the social and emotional development of children.

Vietnam approved the national rural information and communication plan in 2011 that includes the building of a 420 million CAD broadband network infrastructure intended to link all smallest administrative units by 2015. However, the country has not achieved this goal yet. Vietnam has experienced countless failures in rolling out Information Communication Technology systems mainly because […]

Ce projet vise à établir le rapport coût-efficacité de la technologie FreeO2 chez les patients MPOC (maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique) hospitalisés suite à une exacerbation. La technologie FreeO2 est un nouveau dispositif d’oxygénation des patients lors de leur séjour à l’hôpital. En utilisant une titration automatique du débit d’oxygène, il est attendu que les patients […]

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is an established non-governmental organization (NGO) which promotes conservation. In recent years, support for the organization has dwindled.

Since 2011, radiologists at Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH) and Victoria General Hospital (VGH) have piloted a “Rapid CT” (CT = Computed tomography) program to provide same-day CT scans for patients referred directly by participating community physicians, with the intent of avoiding unnecessary ED (Emergency Department) visits. This research will test the hypothesis that the Rapid […]
