SSHRC CG awarded 2024: This project takes stock of the profound impact of war on religious life in Ukraine since the invasion and launches an international conversation about the role the range of Ukrainian religious groups—Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim—can play in social

reconciliation after the war. It involves two key components. The first is an event: an interdisciplinary, international, and hybrid conference entitled "Religion and War in Ukraine: The Political, the Public, and the Possible". Revised conference presentations will be published as a special double issue of

Canadian Slavonic Papers/Revue canadienne des slavistes. The second component is an outreach project: the hosting of the "Destroyed Temples of Ukraine" photographic exhibition at the University of Alberta, together with the publication of interviews with project participants on the Forum for Ukrainian

This thesis includes 2 parts. Part 1 is: Discretization on High Dimensional Compact Do￾mains. Part 2 is: Polynomial Approximation on High Dimensional Spheres. A special example for part 1 is the result on the unit sphere of high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In chapter 2, we obtained general

results about discretization of integration on compact met￾ric domains. Related results on spheres, closed balls and simplexed could be as special exam￾ples of our results. The first main result is about regular partitions on compact path-connected metric space equipped with non-atomic Borel probability

projects in these two directions and the progress I’ve made.

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) New Emerging Team (NET) program was designed to provide 5 years of support for the creation of new teams or the development of existing teams of investigators conducting collaborative multidisciplinary research in identified areas of focus. A NET

group at the University of Saskatchewan was funded under the Cognitive Impairment in Aging focus for a project titled Strategies to Improve the Care of Persons with Dementia in Rural and Remote Areas. In this article we describe the research program developed by the team and implemented during the first

Stream diversion projects in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area that have been or will be required in the course of oil sands development are outlined. The effects of stream diversions on aquatic life, natural recovery of stream ecosystems from the effects of diversion

, effectiveness of habitat restoration or enhancement techniques, and potential applications of biomonitoring techniques for studying the effects of diversions are reviewed with special reference to the AOSERP study area. Scientific references pertaining to these topics are compiled in an annotated bibliography

. Information \"gaps\" and research needs pertinent to the AOSERP study area are briefly outlined. The primary research need recommended at the present time is to collect as much information as possible about the effects of the Beaver Creek diversion to aid in planning future diversion projects and related

In the second project, an electrically conductive composite combining stretchability, self-healing, adhesiveness and sensing capability was prepared via a facial solution casting method, by triggering the in

recognized as attractive platforms for drug delivery. In the first project, a thermo-responsive core cross-linked polymeric micelle was developed based on a double hydrophilic block copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PEG-b-PNIPAm), with UPy functionality incorporated throughout

beating. In the third project, a novel type of multifunctional conductive polymer hydrogel was fabricated by incorporating UPy groups as cross-linking points into a conventional brittle polyaniline/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS) hydrogel, leading to a platform with the integration of high

PowerPoint Presentation from University of Alberta Libraries' Open Access Week session by graduate students of Biology 560: A Data Management Plan (DMP) outlines how you will handle your data both during your research and after the project is completed. Most research funders, organizations and

institutions require DMPs, including (soon) the Canadian tricouncils (NSERC, SSHRC and CIHR). Join us for a discussion about the benefits of data management planning to enhance data management, sharing and re-use, as well as ensuring compliance with data policy requirements.

nimodipine. In the first project of our research, we generated a random-effects meta-analytic model and forest plots for a total of 70 studies resulting in a pooled ARC prevalence (95% CI) of 39 % (34.9-43.3). Prevalence for neuro, trauma, mixed and sepsis ICUs were 74 (55-87), 58 (48-67), 36 (31-41) and 33

. The results of the second project of our research summarized the extent to which ARC influences the probability of target attainment in several medications requiring dosing changes to mitigate the risk of therapeutic failure. The results demonstrated the need for higher than standard doses and reduced

dosing intervals in patients with ARC. These results provide clinicians with a guide to navigate drug dosing requirements for patients with ARC and to anticipate aspects of treatment where deviation from standard dosing regimens could be prudent. With regards to the third project of our research, results

candidates of tissue glues and wound dressings. In the first project, an instant paintable antimicrobial hemostatic agent was developed based on hydrogen-bonding interaction-enabled coacervates. The fabrication of the coacervate was achieved via one-step mixing of silicotungstic acid (SiW) and poly(ethylene

interactions, providing a new platform for engineering multifunctional coacervate materials as tissue glues, wound dressings, and membrane-free cell systems. Instant underwater adhesives have gained special interest as paintable electrodes in the development of next-generation aqueous batteries. In the

second project, coacervation-driven instant paintable underwater adhesives with tunable optical and electrochromic properties were prepared. The formation of the adhesives was induced through the facile one-step mixing of SiW and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene

In general, the contribution of this project should be seen less as the presentation of new evidence, and more as a re-assessment and re-interpretation of already established evidence

-term prediction serves for the design stage of a project, such as the pre-excavation of a tunnel or the pre-mining of a workface, which can be regarded as an integral assessment for the rock burst potential for the engineering field. By contrast, rock burst pre-warning serves the project construction

and the discriminative model, and we draw a conclusion that the discriminative model is more suitable for rock burst prediction task. The fifth chapter presents a special situation when we can not trust the training labels because of various reasons. In the chapter six we talk about the essential role
