Riberinhos’ Lived Experiences and Practices of Malaria in the Brazilian Amazon

In Brazil, malaria accounts for the highest morbidity registered in the Americas. In this country, 99.5% of the cases of malaria are registered in the Brazilian Amazon. The main goal of this research is to investigate how riberinhos experience and act upon malaria in endemic areas of Manaus and Careiro, State of Amazonas, Brazil. This study is situated in the fields of population health and medical anthropology. This study is situated in the fields of population health and medical anthropology. It is drawn on ethnographic methodology and data collection methods such as participant observation, individual semi-structured interviews, and photovoice. The collected data will be analyzed through thematic analysis. The research results may raise some questions regarding the national program to control malaria in Brazil because the intervention addresses the disease from a biological perspective and neglects socioinequalities that maintain and increase its transmission.

ESROP Laser driven plume formation MPSD 2025

Laser-driven plume formation is a surprising and so far theoretically unpredicted phenomenon of Newtonian fluids. The group at the Max Planck Institue for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have observed this behaviour in glycerol, a Newtonian fluid, whereby elastic, rubber-like responses in the material have been produced on timescales many orders of magnitude greater than previously predicted.
This undergraduate group aims to continue this work, studying and exploring this behaviour in water experimentally.

Optimisation quantique pour la planification des horaires des médecins

La planification des horaires médicaux est un défi complexe pour les établissements de santé, confrontés à l’incertitude des arrivées de patients, à la variabilité des temps de traitement et à la nécessité d’optimiser l’utilisation des ressources. Les méthodes de planification classiques atteignent leurs limites face à cette complexité, ce qui entraîne des temps d’attente prolongés, une utilisation inefficace des ressources et une insatisfaction tant chez les patients que chez les médecins. L’optimisation quantique, grâce à sa capacité à explorer simultanément un grand nombre de solutions, offre une approche prometteuse pour résoudre ce problème. Ce projet vise à développer un système de planification des horaires médicaux basé sur l’optimisation quantique, capable d’améliorer l’efficacité opérationnelle, la satisfaction des parties prenantes et la résilience du système face aux perturbations.

Avian pathogen and parasite mapping in Alberta

This project addresses the need for clear baseline data of infections impacting avian populations, and the need for clear, thorough, and detailed reports on infection prevalence, affected avian species, and locations of infection occurrences from wildlife rehabilitation centres.
Our goal is to develop clear baseline measures of three major health impacts to avian biodiversity in Alberta— hemoparasites, gastrointestinal parasites, and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)—alongside prevalence mapping, pathology, and reporting on the relationship between symptoms and presence of infection.
We propose a two-part research project in collaboration with the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC). The first group (1 interns) will track parasites, reviewing past patient cases, recording avian patient species, symptomology, testing all avian intake patients for presence of parasites (identifying type and details as applicable). The second group (1 interns) will review past HPAI cases in the area, HPAI cases in Canada, record location and symptoms of reported cases, and, if resources allow, perform initial screening test on avian patients with symptoms of HPAI.
Both groups will then create reports on the status of their infection, mapping, disease dynamics (comparing to previous intake information and literature on cases and symptoms), and report their findings.

Évaluation de la zonation interne des pegmatites à spodumène du projet Shaakichiuwaanaan, Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, Québec

Le lithium fait partie des minéraux critiques (MC) identifiés par le Canada. De nombreux gîtes lithinifères ont été répertoriés au Québec, plus particulièrement dans les derniers 10 ans dans la région d’Eeyou – Istchee – Baie James qui est entrain de devenir un secteur de lithium de classe mondiale. Tous les gîtes du Québec sont associés à des pegmatites à spodumène encaissées dans des roches volcanosédimentaires moyennement métamorphisées. Dans le modèle généralement accepté pour la formation des pegmatites minéralisées en métaux rares, celles-ci montrent une zonation texturale, minéralogique et chimique interne systématique du contact avec l’encaissant vers le centre. Un bon nombre des pegmatites associées avec les gisements de lithium dans la région d’Eeyou – Istchee – Baie James ne montrent pas cette zonation dont celles de la propriété Shaakichiuwaanaan. Le projet de recherche Globalink propose de caractériser la zonalité interne de plusieurs pegmatites de cette propriété à l’aide d’une cartographie détaillée. Les résultats devraient permettre de déterminer s’il existe une variabilité spatiale de la zonalité et dans l’affirmative de trouver les facteurs qui l’influencent incluant la teneur en lithium.
