This study will seek to build a normative theory of compromise and federalism. Several questions will serve as guidelines for our research: If federalism does depend on a specific type of compromise, what kind of compromise are we talking about? Would federalism be a normatively acceptable form of compromise? Several analytical differences will be explored: […]

Dans notre recherche, nous allons partir de la théorie de la compréhension de Gadamer pour mener une réflexion sur la question du potentiel et des limites du dialogue interculturel, en tant que principe de base du vivre ensemble. L’herméneutique de Gadamer fait ressortir les conditions de base du dialogue interculturel, telles que l’ouverture des participants […]

While online dating has been available for many years, the increase in modern technology has spurred a growth in the amount of online dating apps and dating app users. There is reason to believe that as dating moves online, so does sexualized violence against women. This project will examine how various online dating apps are […]

Lianas are woody climber plants with a relatively thicker stem that use trees as structural support to reach the forest canopy. They compete with trees for above and below ground resources, and they also occupy gaps and illuminated areas on the upper part of the canopy more efficiently. Therefore, their increases can suppress tree generation, […]

We have developed a software tool that could be used as stand-alone software, or could be implemented in a vascular diagnostic suite (for example within the post-processing software that accompanies most CT and MR scanners). The tool would allow surgeons and radiologists to better evaluate the current state of the aorta under examination and the […]

Connected Canadians is a non-profit organization that provides older adults with free technology support and training. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for their services significantly, as our ways of connecting, interacting, and living have shifted online. Connected Canadians has been growing its volunteer mentor team significantly to help meet the rising needs of […]

The generation and supply of energy is the largest anthropogenic source of CO2 and thus contributes significantly to climate change and the associated global consequences. As a result, a reduction of CO2 emissions in energy generation and distribution is an unavoidable key issue that must be addressed. In this research project, the main focus is […]

Immediately after birth, female mammals possess around 1 milion of gamete cells (oocyte). However, less than 1% of this pool will become a fertilizable oocyte. Part of this occurs due to a natural process of selection during development. During the oocyte’s growth phase, they must undergo a process of cytoplasmic maturation, where they accumulate proteins, […]

This project is related to #IT24812 and this is phase 2 of that project. After the success of my first BSI project with the Higher Learning Foundation (HLF), we have decided to continue applying for the program to expand the positive impact we have on the mental well-being of our community. HLF is a registered […]

An emerging imaging modality for breast cancer screeing is Ultrasound Computer Tomography (USCT). The thereby used image reconstruction techniques result in special requirements for the ultrasound transducers. At the University of British Colombia, a novel fabrication technology was recently presented. This technology allows the realization of polymer-based Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer (CMUT), whose properties match […]

The goal of this research is to assess the impacts of a teaching methodology known as pedagogical narration on teachers’ practices. The research study aims to introduce teachers to the Early Learning Framework and to mentor teachers in using pedagogical narration. Capilano University student interns will be deployed to iGen Education Group to support the […]

The goal of this project is to investigate the direct harms to science wrought by structural racism and the benefits derived by the inclusion of women and minoritized people of color in the scientific workforce. Specifically, this work seeks to (a) quantify the participation of marginalized individuals in the production of science, (b) elucidate the […]
