Victimization of Transgender Persons: A Legal Indo-Canadian Perspective

The research proposes to gauge into the lives of the transgender persons in Canada, primarily in one province and applying the law and principles of victimization assess their present situation. In an endeavor to analyze the legal lacunae, the governmental ignorance and inefficient welfare mechanisms, the research expects to conduct an empirical research to be able to codify the data and analyze the same. The researcher(s) expect to look at the abominable human rights violations with the massive violence that they are met with and develop the patterned victimization they fall a trap to. With library research and aid of scholarly writings in the field of criminal law, victimology and human rights, the efforts would be to propose better legal and policy framework to secure their lives of shame and integrate them to the society. With intriguing the criminal laws in force, the researchers would seek to evaluate the impact it has on their lives and what better they deserve. It is hoped that interviews with the transgender community and other stakeholders including police and government officials, the research would concretely apply the same to the community by adhering to the nuances of applied research.

Green and Just Recovery? An Analysis of Energy Policies Adopted in Response to the COVID-19 Economic Crisis

In 2020, the world was plunged into an economic crisis. Measures that have been necessary to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic have shuttered businesses and put people out of work. Governments in many countries are responding with direct payments to individuals and other measures to alleviate suffering. They are also engaging in broader economic stimulus.
Efforts have been made to track COVID-19 economic recovery measures around the world and assess what portion of stimulus is flowing to ‘green’ sectors. One such initiative is the Energy Policy Tracker (www.energypolicytracker.org), developed by a consortium of non-profits and think tanks under the leadership of the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). The objective of this project is to utilise the rich dataset that underpins the tracker to delve into the policy initiatives that the COVID-19 crisis has triggered. A particular emphasis will be given to identifying the extent to which ‘green’ recovery measures also addressed inequality and the need for a just transition.

Orienter l’aluminerie de l’avenir par l’adaptation, l’appropriation et l’intégration des cibles des objectifs de développement durable du Programme des Nations Unies à l’horizon 2030 : création d’un outil de priorisation des cibles des Objectifs de développement durable pour l’industrie de l’aluminium

Le secteur privé est encouragé à adopter les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) des Nations Unies afin de favoriser leur atteinte. Pour cela, il est nécessaire de les adapter au contexte de l’entreprise afin d’en favoriser l’adoption et l’intégration, ce que l’on appelle la localisation des ODD. Peu de connaissances existent sur la localisation des ODD dans le secteur privé. L’organisme AluQuébec vise à faire du Québec le symbole mondial de l’aluminium durable en intégrant les ODD. Afin d’accompagner AluQuébec dans cet objectif, ce stage propose d’adapter les cibles des ODD à la réalité des entreprises qui interviennent dans les étapes de fabrication de l’aluminium et de développer un outil qui leur permettra de déterminer quelles cibles viser en priorité. Le projet développera les connaissances en développement durable des intervenants de l’industrie de l’aluminium. Ces connaissances seront transférables à d’autres secteurs de l’économie.

Insects, mummies and funerary practices: contribution of archaeoentomology, paleoparasitology and 3D imaging to the study of pre-Hispanic mummies of the central coast of Peru

This research mission in the Bioarchaeology Imaging Laboratory in the Department of Anthropology at Western University, under the direction of Andrew Nelson will be of unprecedented relevance for the thesis I am undertaking: Insects, mummies and funerary practices: contribution of archaeoentomology, paleoparasitology and 3D imaging to the study of pre-Hispanic mummies of the central coast of Peru. Archaeoentomology is the study of insect assemblages, mainly synanthropic, recovered from archaeological contexts. When insect remains are recovered from funerary contexts, their analysis is carried out using the principles and methods of forensic entomology. The application of these data in archaeological contexts provides precise information on the history of the corpse, its taphonomy, but also on the funerary practices of ancient societies. One of the key axes of this work is the development of a 3D protocol allowing a non-invasive archaeoentomological study of the mummy bundles. The use of computed tomography and sophisticated image processing to detect insect remains inside mummy bundles is a promising tool for archaeoentomology.

High Fidelity Modeling, Control and Coordination of Multi-Vehicle Systems for Traversing Cluttered Off-Road Terrains

This project is on system and algorithm design for motion control and coordination in a vehicle team composed of one ground vehicle (GV) and one or multiple cooperating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The GV here is either an advanced light armored vehicle (LAV) or an all-terrain unmanned GV (UGV) to traverse a cluttered off-road terrain for surveillance, terrain mapping, and other missions. The UAVs continuously surveil the current locality of the GV and update the mapping and navigation information. The main project objectives are provision of rapid advancement of the GV over complex off-road terrains and enhancing the performance of such vehicular surveillance and mission applications. The project will achieve these objectives via optimal adaptive deployment within the vehicular network and UAV trajectory generation and tracking to optimally accommodate continuous local surveillance . The developed systems and algorith

Understanding the priorities for quality of life in people after brain injury

We will use a four-phase process to obtain group consensus on the needs and priorities of individuals with brain injury. Throughout the process, participants will meet in virtual focus group to identify, by consensus, the most relevant needs and priorities among those listed previously. The most relevant indicators from the previous stage will be finalized and prioritized by the participants in a final virtual meeting. This research is novel as no research to date has identified the priorities of research and rehabilitation to improve quality of life after TBI using a patient-partnered approach. The expected benefit to the partner organization is having increased material and resources on their website (Brain Streams), providing opportunities for their clients to contribute to TBI research and contribute their ideas and lived experience and being involved in community initiatives for people with TBI and making connections with the UBC community.

Développement d’un système RAS de contention pour Homarus americanus

Dans l’industrie des pêches, la commercialisation des produits vivants requiert l’utilisation de viviers, dont l’efficacité dépend de l’accès à l’eau de mer et des performances techniques et technologiques de contention. S’intégrant dans un chantier d’implantation d’une vitrine technologique, le présent projet propose de développer et tester une solution innovante adaptative pour les industriels, afin d’optimiser la performance de contention (en lien avec la qualité du produit) tout en réduisant leur rejet en mer. Basé sur les principes des systèmes aquacoles en recirculation (RAS), l’adaptation proposée permettra aux opérateurs de viviers de bénéficier d’un traitement de l’eau au sein même de l’infrastructure afin de limiter les coûts énergétiques et éliminer les rejets de polluants associés à la contention prolongée d’organismes vivants. Le projet couvrira les phases de conception en 3D du système en recirculation, de mise en place en condition réelle, de sa validation et du suivi des organismes en contention.

Evaluation of psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms of pain perception in trance experts

The term “cognitive trance” has been proposed to define a voluntary, self-induced modified state of consciousness that is abstracted from any ritual or cultural expression. A decrease in the perception of pain and an increase in the feeling of happiness have been reported during trance. The aim of this project is to better understand how an altered state of consciousness can help patients suffering from pain. The aim is to characterise the psychological traits of expert trance practitioners and to assess their perception of pain during trance. To characterise the psychological profile of trance experts, we will conduct a prospective study on 120 participants using online psychological questionnaires. We will evaluate the perception of pain through the use of electrical stimulation in normal consciousness and in trance in 30 experts. We will use machine learning to find the EEG markers that best predict pain perception.

Exploring the experience of leadership and career advancement of newcomers to Canada in small urban and rural settings

It is a special experience for newcomers to move to a small urban or rural Canadian community. This study explores what that experience is like, particularly related to work. It also looks at what the community and its leaders see as things that either help or get in the way of new Canadians succeeding in their work and becoming part of their community. We will explore these experiences with newcomers and community leaders/individuals both old and new and then come together to explore ways the experience can be even better for all concerned. As a group we will co-develop recommendations for action to improve the experience of newcomers to Canada in their work and becoming a part of their community.
