Landslides are common across Canada and they pose hazards to human safety, economic activities, and the environment. Robust risk management strategies are necessary for sustainable development. A slope risk management framework has been adopted by the geotechnical community for approximately four decades allowing a systematic, consistent and transparent framework for managing risks. Implementing this framework is associated with uncertainties embedded in our estimates of risk. This paper presents a brief summary of the sources and categories of uncertainty in geotechnical slope engineering and focuses on two topics: (1) estimates of uncertainty in risk calculations and (2) temporal changes in landslide likelihood as a function of weather and steps towards estimating landslide risk changes with climate change. The paper argues that a quantitative risk assessment should not focus on the final risk calculation, but the overall knowledge gained. This allows comprehensive documentation of sources of uncertainty and how they impact geotechnical and risk assessments. Furthermore, the paper outlines approaches to define quantitative correlations between rock fall occurrences and weather, which can be leveraged to estimate changes in rock fall risk with climate change. The paper corresponds to, and expands on, the 2021 Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2011, an interdisciplinary symposium was organized in Toronto, Canada to investigate prevailing models of health policy change in the knowledge translation literature and to assess the applicability of these models for equity-focused urban health research. The papers resulting from the symposium have been published together, in the Journal of Urban Health, along with this introductory essay. This essay describes how the different papers grapple in different ways with how to understand and to bridge the gaps between urban health research and action. The breadth of perspectives reflected in the papers (e.g., social epidemiology, public health, political science, sociology, critical labor studies, and educational psychology) shed much light on core tensions in the relationship between KT and health equity. The first tension is whether the content of evidence or the context of decision making is the strong determinate of research impact in relation to health equity policy. The second tension is whether relationships between health equity researchers and decision makers are best viewed in terms of collaboration or of conflict. The third concerns the role that power plays in evidence-based policy making, when the issues at stake are not only empirical but also normative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PUBLIC opinion polls ,CONFERENCES & conventions ,ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc. ,PUBLIC opinion - Abstract
The fifty-sixth annual conference of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) was held at the Hilton Montreal Bonaventure in Montreal, Quebec on May 17 to 20, 2001. The conference theme was Making Connections. Some eight hundred public opinion researchers accepted the invitation to meet colleagues and friends and to participate in the interdisciplinary program. The special character of the annual conference clearly distinguishes it from other professional meetings. Despite steady growth in attendance over recent years, it is a relatively small conference. Its limited duration, its submission review process and its carefully variegated slate of paper session topics constrain the number of opportunities for being on the program. With the traditional meals and social events, the AAPOR conference presents a higher quality, more intimate and more interdisciplinary experience than can be found at many academic, governmental, or commercial meetings. The structure of the meeting limits, among other things, opportunities to attract new AAPOR members, the willingness of exhibitors and publishers to display their wares, the range of topics covered in the program and the conference revenue that AAPOR could employ for worthwhile purposes.

The article reflects on a paper entitled "Stop Before Turning" by Eugene Rabinowitch presented at the third Pugwash Conference held in Lac Beauport, Canada. The paper argues that the immediate challenge before all nations is to freeze existing political divisions and recognize all de facto governments. It reports that such freeze was needed before a forward movement could begin towards a war-free world, which is a prerequisite for the viability of humanity in the atomic age. It states that the proposal was not declared for the special justice of the political divisions, and legitimacy of the national regimes established in the wake of World War 2.

The article reports on the International Evidence-Based Librarianship conference held in Brisbane between October 16-19, 2005. Nearly 200 participants attended the conference, from many countries around the world. The Great Britain, Canada, U.S., Australia and New Zealand were all represented, with a very stimulating mix of practitioners and researchers/academics. The focus was on developments in evidence: linking research with practice. A range of workshops and presentations throughout the event elicited much greater interaction and questioning than generally occurs in U.S. conferences. At the conference a \vide range of research projects in library and information science were reported and discussed. During the conference the emphasis was led on the point that libraries have a very active interest in understanding what their users needs are, what services they should be delivering and how they should be developing their services to better meet these needs. Workshops included case studies of generalised library activities and services to develop research questions which were not limited to the health sectors.

2020 and 2021 marked major milestones for the catalysis community in Canada. The Catalysis Division of The Chemical Institute of Canada marked its 50‐year anniversary in 2021, and the Canadian Catalysis Foundation celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2020. Both organizations have been instrumental in supporting and advancing the broad and evolving field of catalysis in Canada. This article summarizes the genesis of these organizations and highlights the key roles that they serve for the catalysis community. The health and vibrancy of the catalysis community in 2022 is a testament to the vision, insights, and efforts of those in the community in the 1960s and 1970s who created a framework that helped to bridge the gaps between science and engineering in the field of catalysis. The establishment of the Division in 1971 pulled together a critical mass of people with common professional interests in all aspects of catalysis and catalyst technology. The division structure facilitated collaborations, formalizing and organizing biennial catalysis symposia, administering award programs, and, now, acting as a pipeline for members and directors of the Canadian Catalysis Foundation.

A mother's nutritional choices while pregnant may have a great influence on her baby's development in the womb and during infancy. There is evidence that what a mother eats during pregnancy interacts with her genes to affect her child's susceptibility to poor health outcomes including childhood obesity, pre-diabetes, allergy and asthma. Furthermore, after what an infant eats can change his or her intestinal bacteria, which can further influence the development of these poor outcomes. In the present paper, we review the importance of birth cohorts, the formation and early findings from a multi-ethnic birth cohort alliance in Canada and summarise our future research directions for this birth cohort alliance. We summarise a method for harmonising collection and analysis of self-reported dietary data across multiple cohorts and provide examples of how this birth cohort alliance has contributed to our understanding of gestational diabetes risk; ethnic and diet-influences differences in the healthy infant microbiome; and the interplay between diet, ethnicity and birth weight. Ongoing work in this birth cohort alliance will focus on the use of metabolomic profiling to measure dietary intake, discovery of unique diet-gene and diet-epigenome interactions, and qualitative interviews with families of children at risk of metabolic syndrome. Our findings to-date and future areas of research will advance the evidence base that informs dietary guidelines in pregnancy, infancy and childhood, and will be relevant to diverse and high-risk populations of Canada and other high-income countries.

Introduction: Research plays an important role in supporting integrated care (IC). However, IC networks may lack the capacity to leverage research. Moreover, many health system organizations (HSOs) struggle to identify and implement relevant research in a timely fashion. Embedded research is a promising strategy to align data with system priorities, increase the relevance and timeliness of evidence, and build capacity to conduct and use research. This study reviews two Canadian postdoctoral training programs that embed researchers in HSOs. We describe the programs, report on early lessons learned, and discuss implications for IC. Background: •IC is a priority in many Canadian jurisdictions. For example, Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) were introduced in 2019 to organize care in a more integrated way. •Embedded research requires different skills than traditional research. In response, new training programs have developed such as the Health System Impact Fellowship (HSIF) and the OHT Impact Fellows (OHTIF) programs. Aims: This paper describes the HSIF and OHTIF models and presents early lessons learned. Through surveys, program data, and interviews with participants, we identify key challenges and opportunities. Combined with insights from program leads, we provide an in-depth look at the design and implementation of these programs and how embedded research can support IC initiatives. Highlights: The HSIF program was launched in 2017 and has embedded more than 200 fellows in over 100 HSOs across Canada. Host organizations determine research priorities and are matched with fellows. Distinctive features include a focus on impact-oriented research, co-supervision with health system and academic leaders, professional development, protected time for academic research, and a national cohort that fosters networking and collaboration. Promising outcomes include advancement of HSO goals, increased system capacity for research, and enhanced leadership skills and early career success among fellows. The OHTIF program is modeled on HSIF and places researchers directly in OHTs where they support local projects and learning across organizations. Launched in 2021, the program saw strong demand from OHTs and trainees interested in IC research. Distinctive features include its focus on IC, intensive training activities, and ongoing mentorship for fellows. Early feedback is promising but also suggests areas for attention, including the unique needs of rural and remote regions and the multiple, often competing demands that fellows encounter. Both programs involve patients and caregivers on their advisory panels and offer training in patient engagement. Conclusions: Embedded research is a promising strategy to support IC and health system research. Data from two Canadian training programs show strong interest from HSOs keen to embed research talent within their teams, and from applicants interested in using their research skills to address real-world challenges. Early evidence also highlights the importance of matching, onboarding, and ongoing training for fellows, mentors, and host organizations to build a highperforming embedded research workforce. Implications: Our experience suggests embedded research programs provide important benefits both in augmenting the research and evidence translation capabilities of HSOs and in providing valuable training experiences for fellows, augmenting the research and evaluation skills gained in their graduate education.

SCHIZOPHRENIA ,MEDICAL care costs ,CONFERENCES & conventions ,HUMAN services programs ,PSYCHIATRIC hospitals - Abstract
In Canada, the average costs to treat mental illness varies greatly depending upon the type of disorder. In 2012, the total direct cost of treating psychotic disorders to the Ministry of Health in Ontario, Canada was around 2.1 billion Canadian dollars. Psychiatric hospitalizations, followed by long-term care needs, contributed to the high cost of care. As of 2017-2018 schizophrenia and psychotic disorders were costliest to treat, with an estimated average cost of 12,971 Canadian dollars per hospital stay (CIHI, 2019). Bundled care models refer to a single payment for a full scope of care, are based on timely and highest quality of care, within an integrated care pathway provided to a patient during a defined episode of care. The results are a seamless transition experience and consistency in care for patients across providers and care settings. Bundled care models have been successfully created and implemented in other acute episodes of care, however within mental health and addictions and specifically within the specialized psychiatric setting are relatively new, as defining and articulating the episode of care across the chronicity of one's lifetime has proven challenging. In this paper, we describe our experiences with designing a proof-ofconcept bundled care model for patients with schizophrenia, implementing the model in the hospital setting, measuring adherence, and calculating the accompanying financial model. The comprehensive, evidenced based care elements that comprise optimal care for those with schizophrenia (in accordance with best practices and Health Quality Ontario's Quality Standards) were mapped into a 61-day proof of concept pathway by taking into consideration - (a) daily nursing care activities (b) clinical care and treatment activities reflective of Quality Ontario's governed quality standards for schizophrenia care (i.e. access to Family Intervention Therapy [FIT] and cognitive behavior therapy for psychosis [CBTp]) and (c) identification of exceptions to care. The financial model leveraged data retrieved from the electronic health record on a sample of 142 inpatients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and reflective of the resources required to deliver the care elements and activities. Statistical analysis were conducted to identify areas of opportunity to standardize practice and align practices in quality improvement initiatives to increase adherence to the proof-of-concept model and pathway. Initial learnings included the identification of the variable risk factors that impact complexity and care. Next steps in this work include the definition and design of risk-adjusted, personalized pathways to further refine the model and reflect personalized care. By taking into consideration the complexity factors, both from a treatment perspective and population health focus with the social determinants of health, personalized pathways can be identified to ensure timely, quality, evidence-based and efficient care during the course of admission. Work is currently underway to develop formalized partnerships across care settings (acute care, specialized mental health care and community settings) to further broaden the model and support a seamless experience across care settings. Further learnings from this work have funding model implications and will inform mental health bundled care policies to support similar mental health clinical pathways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Discussions of integrated care have ranged in focus from large-scale health system transformations, to discrete interventions intended to enhance local continuity of care. Beyond these variations in scale and focus, literature on integrated care has used a variety of conceptual frameworks to explain various activities and elements necessary to achieve integrated care. Existing frameworks have helped to advance research and practice; yet the complexity of changing practice required to achieve integrated care across the policy, organizational, and clinical levels complicates efforts to represent or implement these innovations in straightforward ways. Aims Objectives Theory or Methods: In this paper, we present a novel strategy for conceptualizing integrated care as developing through a series of milestones observable at the organizational level. Based on analysis of four integrated care organizational case studies in Canada and New Zealand, we outline how this approach to conceptualizing integrated care both resolves the tension of crossing the macro, meso, and micro levels of analysis, and generates new practical insights to guide policy and practice. Methods consist of qualitative interviews, observation, and document analysis across cases, and qualitative data were analyzed temporally to identify milestones as indicated by participants over time. Highlights or Results or Key Findings: We define a milestone as the occurrence of a salient event that is perceived by respondents to facilitate or disrupt efforts towards the development of integrated care. We synthesize these events at the organizational level, suggesting that the organizational level of analysis is the most appropriate level to represent the significance of these milestones. Our analysis identified six categories of milestone: (1) Strategic relational milestones, referring to building relationships between stakeholders. (2) Strategic process change milestones, referring to efforts to improve quality in practice. (3) Structural (intra-organizational) milestones, referring to changes in organizational structure. (4) Structural (inter-organizational) milestones, referring to changes in the legal, operational, or leadership structures that facilitate relationships between organizations. (5) Environmental milestones, referring to changes in the social or natural environment. (6) Political milestones, referring to changes in the control and allocation of resources. Conclusions: Our results generate a new conceptual framework for understanding the achievement of integrated care as occurring through a series of milestones. This approach enhances the focus on achieving integrated care "in the wild", in the actual environments in which leaders, clinicians, policymakers, patients, and caregivers work to implement integrated care. Implications for applicability/transferability sustainability and limitations: Our model emphasizes two practical points. First, that there is no single series of sequential steps that must be taken to achieve integrated care. Second, that policy efforts to support integrated care ought to encourage organizations and their collaborators to work toward milestones that facilitate the development of integrated care.

This article presents the text of a paper about origins and perspectives of the international representative read at the Nineteenth Annual Convention of the American Catholic Sociological Society at the Trinity College in Washington, D. C., on December 28-30, 1957. This paper is a discussion of a conceptual framework which has developed in connection with a study of the role of international representatives as a significant role in the American labor movement. The focus of the present discussion is on the role of international representatives as a non-professional role which is nevertheless capable of professionalization. This paper will further attempt to show that both short-run and long-run conditions affecting the trade union movement generally, and the role of international representatives in particular, require that this role become fully professionalized. The term "international representative" is employed in this discussion to signify the role of those officials who represent the international or national office at the local level. By an international office is meant the central office of a union having locals both in the U.S. and Canada.

From a holistic perspective, health literacy is a requirement for the well-being of entire populations. It moves beyond the focus on individuals to consider the role of organizations and systems. This perspective offers a context for discussing best practices in health literacy, and implications for research and policy development. This paper offers an overview of the best practices that were presented at the Second Canadian Conference on Literacy and Health. It discusses clear writing in some detail because it was emphasized at the conference. It also considers practices that were addressed less emphatically, such as oral communication between patients and health care professionals, training for health care professionals, non-written means of communication (such as video), and building capacity through action-research. The paper critiques some practices. It also notes the lack of research on the links between health literacy and oral understanding, on the impact of verbal and non-written interventions, and on the effectiveness of these practices on the health outcomes of the population. It briefly discusses policy issues and suggests some future directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1978 the Canadian Chiropractic Association recognized the need to establish an organization that would prepare chiropractors to treat athletic injuries and promote these services to sports organizations. Dr. Adrian Grice approached three chiropractors to establish such an organization. The Canadian Chiropractic Sports Academy (CCSA) was established in 1978. This was the start of the chiropractic sports movement which has seen chiropractors playing prominent roles as team doctors to professional and amateur teams and athletes and in the delivery of care at major national and international competitions. This paper will show the work done by the original founders of the CCS A which has helped to pave the way to the present level of acceptance of chiropractic sports injury management and performance enhancement and as the progenitor of the Royal College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences Canada.

The article presents information about various papers that were presented in the conference on organizational learning and knowledge management hosted by Ivey School of Business, the University of Western Ontario, Canada in June 2001. The inclusion of knowledge management in the title in Western Ontario was influenced by a desire to engage across territorial debates about the distinctions and connections between organizational learning and knowledge management. Bringing organizational learning and knowledge management together emphasized the interplay between social aspects of learning and knowledge development and more technological views of knowledge management. The main themes around which the conference was organized included: theorizing and representing organizational learning and knowledge management; knowledge transfer and learning in distributed environments; organizational memory, errors and learning; learning in groups; culture, power and learning; and measuring, charting or diagnosing organizational learning and knowledge.

The retinoid (10mM) increased viral reactivation mediated by IL-15 to a similar extent as HODHBt (100mM) but unlike HODHBt, specifically promoted cell death of latently infected cells compared to controls when combined with IL-15. This indicates that the retinoid is able to reactivate latent HIV through a mechanism mediated by IL-15 but not directly dependent on STAT5 phosphorylation. Among the clinically relevant latency reversing agents (LRA) under investigation, IL-15 or the IL-15 superagonist N-803 have been shown to reactivate latent HIV I ex vivo i and I in vivo i .

Purpose: To determine the percentage of abstracts presented at the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) annual scientific meetings that go on to publication. Methods: Records of previous CAR meetings from the years 2005-2011 were obtained. An Internet search was performed to determine which abstracts went on to publication. Abstracts were assessed according to exhibit category (Resident Award Papers), educational institution, publishing journal, and time to publication. Results: Of the 402 abstracts presented, 112 (28%) were published. Overall, an average of 37% of Radiologists-In-Training Presentations, 34% of Scientific Exhibits, and 20% of Educational Exhibits went on to publication. The University of British Columbia and University of Ottawa published the largest number of abstracts (66 and 62, respectively) from the years 2005-2011. The University of Montreal had the largest percentage of abstracts published (42%). The range of publishing journals was wide, but the top publisher was the Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal (27%). Eighty-three percent of abstracts were published within 3 years of being presented. Conclusion: In total, 28% of all the abstracts presented at the CAR conferences between 2005 and 2011 were published. Further exploration into the reasons and barriers for abstracts not being published may be a next step in future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
