Vers une approche intermédiale du jeu d’acteur contemporain canadien et flamand

Au sein des études théâtrales, il est encore la norme d’analyser le jeu d’acteur en fonction du média dans lequel il est performé, ce qui entraîne une séparation entre le jeu d’acteur cinématographique et le jeu d’acteur scénique. Cette division semble inadéquate, voire dépassée, étant donné que les créations théâtrales contemporaines font de plus en […]

Farmworkers’ perception on risks and interventions of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and heat-related illness

This project is a part of the preliminary phase of the research program aiming to design assistive device to prevent WMSDs and HRI in farmworkers. The intern will gather qualitative data by administering questionnaires and conducting an interview with workers on their perceptions of risks and interventions. Fifty workers over 18 years old, stratified samples […]

Improving the Quality and Experience of HyFlex Teaching and Learning

Over the last few years, Nureva has experienced an increasing trend with their audio products being purchased for HyFlex (hybrid-flexible) classrooms across North America, particularly in higher education. Research shows that this is something many institutions are investing in and will continue to invest in beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. However, not a lot of research […]

Exploring Historic Black Nova Scotian Experiences with Mathematics Assessment

The overall purpose of this research is to explore the ways diagnostic assessments enable or disable growth in mathematics understanding for children most impacted by colonialism, in particular the Historical Black community in Nova Scotia. This research stems from ongoing collaborative relationships with the Delmore Buddy Daye Learning Institute (DBDLI) that has focused on strategies […]

Syncrétisme royal et divin dans la numismatique d’Argilos

Bien que les monnaies aient été largement remplacées ces dernières années par des systèmes informatiques sous forme de crédit, l’importance et la valeur d’une unité de transaction restent des éléments de très grande importance, et ce, autant pour nous aujourd’hui que pour les Grecs de l’Antiquité. Les unités de transaction en elles-mêmes datent de plusieurs […]

Stability of Protein-PEDOT:PSS Coating for Implantable Electrodes

Medical devices that are implanted into the human body allow for continuous medical monitoring and intervention, such as stimulation, recording, and drug delivery. Cardiac pacemakers and insulin pumps are examples of novel technology implanted for long-term treatment. For the treatment of neurological disorders, recent advances in neuroengineering consider the use of implantable electrodes. However, these […]

Studies of CNNM-TRPM7 complexes

It has recently been shown that the tumour suppressor CNNM and TRPM7 bind each other and are coordinately regulated. We propose to determine the structure and function of the complex using cryoelectron microscopy and ion transport assays. A PhD student from the Gehring laboratory will spend four months working in the Runnels laboratory designing and […]

Multimodal-based inferencing of behavioral constructs in asynchronous video-based interviews: portability, efficacy, and interpretability

The intern is expected to work on devising novel, research-based solutions to model traits (e.g., naturalness, confidence, engagement, humor, etc.) from video recordings of non-cognitive, performance-based tasks. Specifically, we are working toward an intelligent combination of multimodal (video, speech, text) data to create an enriched model for predicting human traits in human-computer interactions. The intern […]

Socioculturally Responsive Classroom Assessment in Science

To support next generation learning, classroom assessment innovations are needed to promote next generation classroom practices and to signal what sociocultural perspectives we value in learning. The summer intern project will focus on applying socioculturally responsive assessment practices to analyze, critique, and refine example assessment prototypes and develop pedagogical strategies to support science learning and […]
