Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre la façon dont les gouvernements locaux peuvent renforcer le lien de confiance et favoriser le dialogue avec la population, au-delà des contextes électoraux ou des mécanismes formels de participation citoyenne. Il s’inscrit dans un contexte où des changements sociaux transforment les dynamiques de communication entre les personnes élues et […]

This project focuses on improving the design of post-surgical bras for people recovering from breast cancer surgery. In an earlier phase of the research, patients shared their experiences wearing a specially designed surgical bra after surgery. Their feedback highlighted issues with comfort, fit, gaps and how the bra made them feel during recovery. Phase Two […]

More lung transplants are taking place across the world and in British Columbia. A type of life support, an artificial lung machine called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), has made it possible for patients who are more severely ill to receive a lung transplant. More and more patients are doing better with ECMO since it was […]

Contrary to popular belief, children under five aren’t naturally active all day. In fact, most don’t get enough movement to support healthy development, and this matters, because over two-thirds of their waking hours are spent in childcare. Yet, many early childhood educators (Educators) receive little to no training in how to promote physical activity through […]

Enterprise organizations are increasingly facing significant financial risks caused by hidden vendor overspend, billing errors, and non-compliance with contractual agreements. Traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems often lack the intelligence and automation necessary to detect such discrepancies in real time. As a result, many organizations approve payments without properly validating invoice accuracy, leading to revenue […]

SQE values research and data-driven improvements to create projects that reflect the tastes of our contemporary audience. We strive to address the lack of diversity by crafting worlds that explore untold narratives. 2) […]

Pathogenic alleles in human asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (NARS1) cause heterogeneous genetic disorders collectively known as NARS1 diseases. NARS1 disease is an early onset disease, and few children reach adulthood. No NARS1 specific therapies are available, and treatments remain supportive. The molecular and cellular consequences of most pathogenic NARS1 alleles remain unknown. We will investigate NARS1 mutations […]

This study explores how cycling at different intensities affects cognitive performance, brain blood flow, and certain blood markers related to brain health in people with PD. We will compare results from individuals with PD to healthy adults of the same age and sex. From this, we can better understand how exercise influences these measures. Proteins […]

This research project aims to help Modulable Inc., a modular construction company, improve how it plans and manages its operations. The project will develop a smart decision-making tool that uses advanced mathematical models to optimize key areas such as factory production, transportation of modules, onsite assembly, and future manufacturing expansion. By utilizing this research will […]

This project evaluates an evidence-based wheelchair skills training program tailored for individuals with ARSACS and DM1, conditions currently underrepresented in mobility training resources. In partnership with Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) the study aims to create customized materials—such as posters and a handbook—to support wheelchair users. MDC’s involvement ensures findings are effectively translated into clinical practice […]

The building sector represents Canada’s third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. Policymakers must reduce emissions while also addressing Canada’s severe housing affordability crisis. Without effective tools to find solutions that tackle both issues together, there’s a risk that neither may be resolved successfully. This project […]

This project aims to develop an AI-driven pipeline for nuclear segmentation and classification in immunohistochemistry (IHC)-stained cancer slides, integrated into the open-source digital pathology platform QuPath. In collaboration with Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the University of Alberta, the project addresses a pressing need for scalable and interpretable tools to assist in cancer biomarker assessment—particularly […]
