Situated Knowledge on Dementia Care Practices: Comparing Israel and Canada

The research project will look at modes and types of localized knowledge on the span of diseases under the umbrella of dementia. The project will try to detect and compare modes of knowledge transition, dispersion, and production about dementia prevention and early detection within and across two different cultural and social settings: the Canadian and […]

Dialogic Pedagogy in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Learning

This project examines multidisciplinary methodologies in adult Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) education, particularly focusing on strategies involving dialogic processes. Dialogic modes in learning broadly refer to activities of collaborative meaning-making through shared expression and communication rather than monologic processes, whereby fixed meaning is transferred through a one-way approach. As the demand for more conscientious […]

Effets d’un entraînement à l’effort sur les adaptations hémodynamiques de patients coronariens: vers la détermination de variables prédictives de réponse à l’entraînement.

L’impact bénéfique de l’activité physique dans le traitement de nombreuses pathologies est largement démontré et son importance dans la réadaptation cardiaque est avérée. En parallèle, l’utilisation de différents biomarqueurs comme évaluation des processus physiopathologiques relatifs à la maladie coronarienne et l’IC est de plus en plus répandue. Cependant, il n’existe pas à ce jour « […]

Evaluating the responses of vascular plant phenology to climate change in the Canadian Arctic from an evolutionary perspective

The Arctic climate is changing three times faster than any other eco-region in the world. As the climate warms, flowering times of many species are shifting which can affect plant productivity and reproductive success. Flowering time responses to climate change among species is diverse. The diversity of responses has implications for tundra plant community structure […]

Testing of a MEMS gravimeter on a drone over the Mt Meager volcanic complex

Gravimetry is an important geophysical method for remote sensing of sub-surface geological structures and systems via detection of mass and/or density changes. Applications are both academic and industrial. Currently, gravimetry surveys are carried out using sensors that are very sensitive, but also heavy and expensive. Both specifications make gravimetric studies expensive and practically very difficult, […]

Développement de nanoparticules ciblant les neutrophiles de faible densité pour la prise en charge potentielle du lupus érythémateux systémique.

Ce projet pluridisciplinaire vise à développer des nanoparticules combattant la nétose, réaction immunitaire des neutrophiles qui est détournée par certaines maladies et qui conduit à la production massive et délétère de “filets d’ADN” qui compliquent le fonctionnement normal de l’organisme. Ce phénomène, qui provient du terme “NETs” en anglais, a été récemment identifié comme un […]

Analysis of Salmonid Spawning and Rearing Habitat in the Seymour River in North Vancouver, British Columbia

Salmonid populations are increasingly challenged by interruptions in watershed connectivity, and limited access to critical habitat. For spawning and rearing, salmonids require diverse habitat features, including gravel beds and large streamwood. However, many watersheds are deficient in large streamwood and gravel, in part due to dam structures limiting downstream transport. Therefore, there is a need […]
