Le “digital free tourism” (tourisme déconnecté ou déconnexion numérique en milieu touristique) désigne une forme de tourisme où les personnes voyageuses peuvent se déconnecter des technologies numériques (téléphones intelligents, médias sociaux, etc.) pendant leur séjour. Certains travaux récents questionnent cependant les limites du tourisme déconnecté, en soulignant par exemple le stress vécu à la suite […]

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back pain and arthritis affect millions of Canadians and place a heavy burden on the healthcare system. Every year, thousands of new research studies are published on MSK health, but the sheer volume makes it hard for organizations to keep track of the latest findings. This project will explore how […]

1. Le Service d’interprétation visuelle et tactile (SIVET) offre un service d’interprétation en milieu sociocommunautaire : langue des signes québécoise (LSQ), pidgin, oral support de signes, LSQ tactile (pour les personnes sourdes-aveugles). D’ailleurs, le SIVET est le plus important des quatre services régionaux d’interprétation au Québec et, malgré ses 80 interprètes, refuse en moyenne 120 […]

SaskAgMatters (SAM) Mental Health Network Inc. is a support network created to offer a farm-culture friendly mental health support system for Saskatchewan (SK) Agricultural Producers (hereafter collectively called ‘farmers’). SAM offers six free counselling sessions with registered mental health professionals who have backgrounds in agriculture. SAM’s counsellors will be invited to semi-structured interviews focusing on […]

Ce projet vise à aider les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) à mieux comprendre et améliorer leurs pratiques de développement durable. Pour cela, nous allons créer une application web interactive qui permet aux entreprises de répondre oralement à un questionnaire. Grâce à l’intelligence artificielle, les réponses seront automatiquement analysées et résumées. L’application pourra ensuite proposer […]

Au Canada, environ 8 millions de personnes souffrent ou souffriront de douleur chronique, un nombre en hausse avec le vieillissement de la population. L’ostéopathie, basée sur des techniques manuelles, vise à soulager ces douleurs et améliorer la fonction. Toutefois, l’ostéopathie n’est pas réglementée au Canada, et on en sait peu sur les ostéopathes et leurs […]

Although zooplankton monitoring is crucial for informed conservation, data on nearshore zooplankton ecology, despite its importance for forage fish, is lacking. This study will use ZooScan image analysis to process samples collected by the Pacific Salmon Foundation Citizen Science Oceanography program in Malaspina Strait (2015 – ongoing) and assess the seasonal dynamics of the nearshore […]

Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs) are adults who have been shaped by their mobility and cross-cultural experiences as a result of spending a significant part of their developmental years in a country other than their passport country. Although these experiences have provided ATCKs with valuable characteristics and skillsets, ATCKs struggle with identity creation and a […]

Recent findings expose the concerning sensitivity of hydrologic and geomorphic function to clearcut logging. Water quality, fish habitat, downstream infrastructure, and human lives are all suffering due to clearcut practices and climate change. This study will explore for the first time the differences between the effect of clearcut logging and more ecosystem friendly logging practices […]

Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, mainly because relapses are often detected too late. This research project aims to validate an innovative method to monitor patients after treatment by detecting tiny traces of tumor DNA circulating in the blood. Using a highly sensitive genome sequencing approach, it will […]

This project is designed to provide a baseline dataset for fish processing stations on Southern Vancouver Island. From this dataset, researchers aim to identify broad-scale trends in nearshore marine systems and identify future research needs. Main objectives of the project include monitoring both seal behaviour and fish waste subsidies near these recreational fish processing stations […]
