Mining affects communities and contributes to socio-ecological harms despite the proliferation of industry-led sustainability initiatives. These issues demand ongoing scrutiny given the intensification of ‘critical’ extractivism and its intersection with climate-change mitigation, action, and in/justice. The proposed project aims to interrogate the notion of sustainable mining as a source of ‘green’ jobs, community wellbeing, and […]

The University of Saskatchewan (Dr. S. Achenbach), intern Danyil Dmytriiev, and the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University in Ukraine (Dr. Mykhailo Derhachov)/Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, engage in a MITACS-funded research project to innovate microfabrication processes for diffractive X-ray optics. Fresnel Zone Plates (FZPs) are miniaturized focusing and beam shaping elements with nanometer […]

The aim of this research project is to explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in quantum technologies for computer network system scenarios. The hypothesis is that we can easily comprehend and utilize quantum algorithms to propose solutions for networks by leveraging Large Language Models technologies in specific tasks. Moreover, another interesting question that […]

The Georgian Bay Geopark is tasked with promoting and conserving the unique geological heritage of an important Canadian landscape, created over 2.5 billion years of geologic and environmental change. It is now in the process of being recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark on account of its international significance. This project investigates one of […]

The objective of the “rTMS for post-covid-19 condition: A sham-controlled case series involving iTBS-300 and iTBS-600” project is to determine the efficacy, feasibility, and tolerability of several iTBS variants (iTBS-300, iTBS-600) and sham stimulation in PCC patients. Secondarily, the aim is to examine signs of improvement in cognitive, affective, and functional symptoms following each iTBS […]

This narrative inquiry, situated within Xu and Connelly’s SSHRC Partnership Grant Project, has two purposes: (1) understanding the strengths of the generalist teaching model in Canadian elementary schools and the specialist teaching model in Chinese elementary schools in mathematics education, and (2) investigating what can be reciprocally learned in terms of curriculum and pedagogies for […]

Women are the fastest growing prison population in both Canada and Australia. This heightens the need for gender-specific health care, including abortion care, for incarcerated individuals. In order to identify barriers to accessing abortion in prisons in Canada, I previously co-created an inventory of the facilities in Canada designated to incarcerate women and calculated the […]

Le but du projet est de concevoir un dispositif sur papier pour la détection du lactate dans les cellules en culture. Le lactate est un sous-produit du métabolisme et un marqueur du caractère invasif du cancer. En effet, les tumeurs deviennent hypoxiques durant leur croissance, ce qui altère le métabolisme. La consommation de glucose dans […]

The objective of this research project is to systematically review and analyze existing literature on Japanese international nursing missions to understand the scope and impact of these missions on a global scale. This will involve examining the various aspects of Japanese nursing missions on global healthcare, including the geographical reach, activities, outcomes, and understanding their […]
