Les perturbateurs endocriniens (EDC) sont connus pour affecter la reproduction et représentent un problème de santé publique, puisque nous sommes tous exposés à ces substances. Nous avons récemment montré que l’exposition à un mélange d’EDC durant la gestation entraine une altération de la puberté et de l’ovulation chez les générations qui n’ont pas été directement […]

Bien que la douleur chronique cancéreuse soit fréquente, son évaluation et sa prise en charge restent insuffisantes. La douleur neuropathique causée par la chimiothérapie est particulièrement complexe, souvent mal diagnostiquée et traitée, avec des lacunes dans l’accès aux soins. La Société Américaine d’Oncologie Clinique a noté qu’aucun agent pharmacologique n’est recommandé pour prévenir cette douleur, […]

Following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, surgeons there have worked tirelessly to address the massive burden of injuries from the high volume of orthopedic and spine injuries sustained. The complexity of these wounds and sheer volume of patients has overwhelmed health system resources, which by Western standards were already deficient in the post-Soviet era. The […]

The notion of ‘self-regulation’ in the development of children and young people and the health of adults has taken on considerable importance, especially in education, as the science investigating this feature has made significant advances over the last decade. One nationwide initiative, the Canadian Self-Regulation Initiative (CSRI), has been working since 2012 to support educators’ […]

Ce projet vise à améliorer l’évaluation de la fonction du membre supérieur chez les enfants atteints de paralysie cérébrale. Actuellement, les cliniciens utilisent des méthodes qui prennent du temps et ne fournissent pas toujours des informations complètes. Ce projet va développer de nouvelles technologies qui permettront d’observer les mouvements des enfants de manière plus naturelle […]

This project aims to help the Canadian Society for Education and Outreach Alliance (CSEOA) make better use of the knowledge gained from their Understanding Risk British Columbia (URBC) symposiums. The intern will assist with analyzing content, creating outcome reports, and sharing findings across various sectors. This support will enable CSEOA to expand its impact, foster […]

Energy Disaggregation is to find the energy consumption of individual appliances from only a single measure of household electricity consumption. Accurate energy disaggregation helps identify major energy guzzlers in the house and motivates users to take proper actions for energy saving. To pursue aneasy-to-use and scalable solution to energy disaggregation for contemporary large-scale appliances, we […]

Si la recherche est abondante à étudier l’insécurité linguistique chez les locuteurs ayant le français comme langue maternelle, moins nombreuses sont les études intéressées au phénomène chez les locuteurs de français langue seconde et étrangère (FLSE) et particulièrement chez les enseignants de FLSE. Pourtant, quelques études suggèrent que ceux-ci subissent de l’insécurité linguistique en raison […]

Thermoelectric systems can produce electricity using temperature difference and heating/cooling effect using electricity. Thermoelectric systems are basically combination of p and n-type semiconductor materials. Thermoelectric systems have many advantages such as, environment friendly, no moving parts, silent in operation, and long service life. However, at this stage thermoelectric systems have very low efficiency so they […]

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. […]

This project involves the development of a program that will aid creating operational efficiencies and lower costs to Guiding Light. The coding of the program involves: combining assessment tools that are currently being used in our centres; the gathering of clients data and mapping of charts based on these data; the use of AI to […]

Currently, microreaction technology was applied to Bunsen reaction, a key step of H2S splitting cycle, to improve process capability by overcoming mass transfer limitations. This was achieved by using low-flow advanced reactor (LF-AFR) made by Corning Inc., the smallest model, in our research lab at University of Saskatchewan. Compared to normal scale reactors, microreactors provide […]
