Civillian involvement in national security as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Project explores two key aspects of civilian involvement in national security: the evolution of Ukraine’s policies on civilian firearm ownership and the development of “Territorial Defence” institutions in Ukraine and similar “home guard” entities in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Nordic/Baltic region. The goal is to understand how these elements contribute to […]

Smart Textile Development for Health Monitoring

This project aims to develop a smart textile-based solution for early detection and management of sleep apnea, a condition that significantly impacts health, especially in those with chronic illnesses like heart failure. Traditional diagnostic methods are often inconvenient, uncomfortable, and expensive. To address these challenges, the project focuses on creating a comfortable, non-invasive, and cost-effective […]

Synthesis and Application of Tritiated Activin Receptor Like Kinase 2 Radioligands for Molecular Investigations of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. […]

Incorporating Equity Considerations Into Serious Safety Event Review Processes

Serious safety events (SSEs) are a subset of patient safety events (PSEs) reported in hospitals which results in a severe level of harm. Many of these events are cases of avoidable harm and are investigated during SSE review processes. Systemic inequities are prevalent in healthcare systems and contribute to the occurrence of SSEs, however are […]

Epigenetic modulators as targets in recurrent glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain cancer in adults. Despite undergoing extensive treatment, patients with GBM typically have a dismal survival rate of only 12-16 months. Furthermore, many patients eventually experience tumor relapse. Proteins such as epigenetic modulators function to change how genes are activated in DNA without altering the genetic code. Inhibiting such […]

Using Historical Aerial Photography to Identify River Changes as related to Forestry Practices in Musgamagw Dzawada’enuxw Territory

The decline of Pacific salmon on the south and central coast of British Columbia has resulted in well-recognized economic, ecological, and cultural impacts. Numerous factors are considered to have contributed, including marine conditions, climate change, and changes to freshwater habitats. Forest harvesting is often considered to have altered freshwater habitats where salmon spawn and rear […]

Examining Rainfall Derived Inflow & Infiltration with Real Data

During rainfall events, it is nearly impossible to prevent water from entering into a sanitary sewer system. When this does occur, the capacity of the systems is decreased while the amount of water sent to treatment plants is increased. Current design practices do not offer any insights into the variability and other statistics characterizing this […]
