This presentation explores how vocational awe and ghostly labour intersect with precarious work in libraries and by discussing the potential for action both within and outside of those constraints.…

This action research is a study on how the constructivist learning principles came into practice in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) curriculum reform. A comprehensive literature…

The loss of biodiversity is increasingly well understood on land, but trajectories of extinction risk remain largely unknown in the ocean. We present regional Red List Indices (RLIs) to track the…

The Ukraine Crisis of 2014 which led to the annexation of Crimea by Russia has been one of the worst European issues since the end of the Cold War. NATO's relations with Russia have worsened…

Listeria generate actin-rich tubular protrusions at the plasma membrane that propel the bacteria into neighboring cells. The precise molecular mechanisms governing the formation of these protrusions…

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) are highly infectious gastrointestinal human pathogens. These microbes inject bacterial-derived…

With the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the decision to close post-secondary schools to in-person teaching, an opportunity was presented to examine the challenges, benefits and ability to pivot…

As society becomes more technologically complex, post-secondary institutions have responded by incorporating science-based courses in the non-science curriculum. As chemist, we are often called upon…

We show that there is a deterministic local algorithm (constant-time distributed graph algorithm) that finds a 5-approximation of a minimum dominating set on outerplanar graphs. We show there is no…

When users in virtual reality cannot physically walk and self-motions are instead only visually simulated, spatial updating is often impaired. In this paper, we report on a study that investigated if…

Tissue culture approaches are widely used in crop plants for the purposes of micropropagation, regeneration of plants through organogenesis, obtaining pathogen-free plantlets from meristem culture,…

Tracking movements of the body in a natural living environment of a person is a challenging undertaking. Such tracking information can be used as a part of detecting any onsets of anomalies in…

Lake-rich Arctic deltas differ biogeochemically from tundra lakes, and their role as sources and sinks of greenhouse gases remains poorly understood. Under-ice and open-water changes in methane (CH4…

Qualitative research in counseling psychology in the last 2 decades has been characterized by the introduction and use of a range of methods and corresponding paradigms and conceptual frameworks. The…

Lithium ion batteries represent an emerging field. The development of battery materials could benefit from quick techniques that enable atomic-level diagnostics. High performance cathodes, such as…

Community-engaged scholar, current Researcher-in-Residence with SFU's Community-Engaged Research Initiative and food system planner Tammara Soma joins Am Johal on this episode of Below the Radar…

Lawyer, climate storyteller, and founder of the UBC Climate Hub, Grace Nosek, joins host Am Johal on a mission — to publicly uncover feelings of 'climate doom' and 'individual…

Dancer, aerialist, choreographer and producer Gabrielle Martin joins host Am Johal on this episode of Below the Radar. Gabrielle tells us how her passion for dance has taken her from spinning fire in…

Ephemeral social media is growing in popularity and brands are increasingly using this method to engage with and advertise to consumers. Yet, little research attention has been paid to how consumers…

Consumers are increasingly exposed to scams and questionable marketing practices. The current work examines how consumers' emotional states influence their gullibility (a belief or compliance…
