阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researchers have been awarded canadian institutes of health research (cihr) operating grants and other funding allowing them to continue pursuing their ground-breaking work " ranging from the management of dementia, treatment of atherosclerosis, and development of a new approach in cancer screening for first nations women.

an operating grant worth a total of $583,625 has been awarded to dr. rui wang (biology) to enable him to determine the connection between decreased production of hydrogen sulfide gas in blood vessels and the occurrence of atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by blood vessel inflammation, lipid and cholesterol deposition, and narrowing and stiffing of blood vessels.

dr. elaine wiersma (health sciences) will use $196,336 in funding to examine how the development of a self-management program can help people who have dementia.

dr. ingeborg zehbe (adjunct professor of biology and scientist of thunder bay regional research institute) receives $594,505 for her research project on cervical cancer screening in first nations women using self-sampling and hpv testing.

as well, one of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's many talented graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , loretta patterson (psychology phd program), winner of a cihr doctoral research award (priority announcement - disability prevention) is conducting research on how driving performance can be impacted on by major depressive disorder and psychotropic medications.

"these grants demonstrate the importance of the research being done every day at lakehead," explains lakehead president, dr. brian stevenson. "our researchers' work strives to improve the lives of people living with dementia and help diagnose cervical cancer in aboriginal women."

dr. rod hanley, provost and vice-president (academic), said he's impressed by these research projects. "in addition to furthering canadian health science research, drs. zehbe, wiersma and wang, along with graduate student loretta patterson, are working to enhance the lives of so many people," says dr. hanley.

backgrounder - research profiles

dr. rui wang (biology)

hydrogen sulfide and atherosclerosis development

dr. rui wang's research may provide a new way to treat vascular disease, a hardening of the arteries that leads to various health problems.

this project will test the hypothesis that reduced blood vessel production of hydrogen sulfide (h2s) constitutes a predisposal factor for the occurrence of atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by blood vessel inflammation, lipid and cholesterol deposition, and narrowing and stiffing of blood vessels.

"this research may provide a new approach for the treatment and prevention of vascular disease," dr. wang said.

dr. elaine wiersma, (health sciences)

developing a self-management program for dementia: integrating research, care practices and client perspectives through partnerships

rather than focusing on servicing dementia, dr. wiersma anticipates that people with dementia will be better equipped to live well and cope with change through self-management approaches.

"the goal of my research is to develop a program for people living with early-stage dementia collaboratively with people who have dementia and other partners," dr. wiersma said. "we want to explore how we can meaningfully involve people living with dementia, care partners and formal care providers in the program development process."

dr. ingeborg zehbe (biology and thunder bay regional research institute [tbbri])

engaging first nations women in cervical cancer screening: assessing factors related to screening and uptake of self-sampling

many first nations women are not regularly screened for cervical cancer and this may contribute to the aboriginal population having a significantly higher prevalence of cervical cancer compared to other canadian women.

"we will test the acceptability of a new approach to cervical cancer screening in first nations women using self-sampling and hpv testing," dr. zehbe said.

first nations community members, and in particular women, will be engaged in all decision making processes. this work will assist in the implementation of an organized cervical cancer screening program that is culturally safe for the needs of first nations women. it will further guide in the design of prophylactic vaccines that are adapted to the prevailing hpv types in first nations women as suggested in other studies.

loretta patterson, graduate student (psychology)

the impact of major depressive disorder and psychotropic medications on driving performance

vehicular crashes are common in canada and frequently lead to injury or death.
both major depressive disorder mdd and the antidepressant medications used to treat mdd can induce cognitive and psychomotor disturbances which may be detrimental to the task of driving.

"the findings of this study could lead to advances in the health of populations; namely, this could be a starting point in raising awareness of the impact of antidepressant medications and mental illnesses on driving performance, to prevent future injury and disability," loretta patterson said.

(october 11, 2012 - orillia, on) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 orillia is opening its doors to prospective 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and their families and friends for its annual fall preview day on saturday, october 13. the event takes place at lakehead orillia's university avenue campus from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm.

the annual event is growing in popularity each year and last year attracted over 500 people. last year was the first time that preview day visitors had a chance to tour the new residence, now home to over 150 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and cafeteria facilities at the campus.

one of last year's visitors, first year student elaine welbourn of cavan, ontario (near peterborough) said the event was pivotal to her decision to attend lakehead.

"all through high school, i was thinking about 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and when i visited the campus on preview day two years ago, within five minutes i was sure that this was the place i wanted to go," said welbourn. it was during her second visit last year that her decision was confirmed.

"i loved the welcoming atmosphere at preview day, and after returning home, discovered that my friends who had gone to other university preview days had not had the same kind of experience."

besides the friendly welcome, welbourn was impressed by the format of preview day with its mini lecture opportunities for various programs. "last year i attended a geology class in one of the science labs and it was fantastic - i was hooked!" welbourn said she met third-year 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who were involved in fascinating research projects. "instead of structured experiments with known results, these 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 were discussing independent research projects that were actually relevant to the community." admitting to be very inquisitive, welbourn said she was also happy to discover that her inquiries were not only encouraged, but that everyone took so much time to answer her questions.

although not particularly attracted to the courses before she visited lakehead, welbourn is now enrolled in both geology and geography courses as part of her bachelor of arts & science concurrent education (basc/bed) program. as it turns out, welbourn will be on a class field trip during this year's preview day. "the small class sizes allow for field work and a very relaxed, hands-on experience," noted welbourn.

lakehead university student elaine welbourn, basc/bed, of cavan, ontario, credits the university's fall preview day with helping her to decide on lakehead.

now well into the first semester, welbourn says that she is thrilled with the school. "i am so happy to be here - i go home (to residence on campus) to look out the window to the best view ever; my classes are interesting; and profs are always open to speaking to me, even on a one on one basis - there's not a single course i don't enjoy."

betsy maus, lakehead orillia's regional recruitment officer, says that welbourn's experience is typical of many visitors during preview day. "we know that choosing a university is a difficult decision and attending our fall event is the perfect opportunity for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to see, first-hand, all of the options and opportunities that are available for them at lakehead. it's important for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to get a feel for the campus." maus adds that the friendly, welcoming atmosphere and helpful 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , staff and faculty are common themes when it comes to the preview day experience.

lakehead social sciences and humanities grants backgrounder

2012 highlighted research projects

dr. tamara varney, (anthropology)
identifying the social determinants of lead poisoning in colonial-era antigua through the use of synchrotron-based techniques

anthropologist dr. tamara varney has collected bone samples from historic cemeteries facing imminent destruction from inclement weather or modern development on the west indies island of antigua. her research seeks to discover just how prevalent lead poisoning was in the 19th century, to scientifically determine if an individual's social class influenced their level of lead exposure.

to make this determination, dr. varney is analyzing bone samples from individuals of european and african ancestry taken from a royal naval hospital cemetery and a small plantation slave cemetery, using canada's only synchrotron facility, the canadian light source.

this high tech particle accelerator uses intense light and electro-magnets to yield detailed microscopic and elemental information. dr. varney's research is the first in canada to address a social historical question using this natural sciences technology. dr. varney received a $62,950 insight development grant (see below for more information).

dr. ed rawana (psychology)
cultivating a strengths approach in education: a strengths-in-motion training program for school administrators

dr. ed rawana's research focuses on studying the psychological strengths and high-risk behaviours in children and adolescents. a clinical psychologist and research director with the centre of excellence for children and adolescents with special needs, dr. rawana is examining the strengths perspective, which incorporates the idea that everyone has strengths.

dr. rawana and his team will be hosting a two-day workshop open to 60 registrants consisting of directors of education, superintendents, principals, and other educators to introduce them to the principles, tools and resources needed for introducing a school-wide strengths based approach to improve academic achievement and decrease bullying. dr. rawana received a $49,584 public outreach dissemination grant (see below for more information).

lindsey wachter (kinesiology student)
perfectionist youth hockey players' perceptions of their parents' involvement in sport

this study aims to advance literature in the area of parental involvement in sport by gaining a better understanding of how an athlete's personality can influence his or her perception of desirable and undesirable parental behaviours. how perfectionism may influence these perceptions will be studied and compared to previous research that didn't consider the impact personality might have.

athletes will be recruited from elite youth teams in northwestern ontario and asked to complete a measure of perfectionism to identify healthy and unhealthy perfectionists. those with high levels of either orientation of perfectionism will be interviewed where they will be asked to discuss their parents' role in their own sport participation. lindsey wachter received a $17,500 grant (see below for more information).
