This spring, over 1,500 cyclists participated in a survey by Transportation Research at 捆绑SM社区 to identify dangerous intersections for cyclists in Montreal. A reveals the 10 most mentioned spots.
The researchers say there is a critical need for safer cycling infrastructure, to promote sustainable travel and prevent fatal collisions caused by poor road design.
In the 鈥�15-minute city,鈥� a concept popularized in Europe, everything a resident might need on a daily basis is a short walk or bicycle ride away. A study by Transportation Research at 捆绑SM社区 (TRAM) suggests, however, that this model may not be easily achieved in large North American cities such as Montreal.
Beginning in the Fall of 2024, 捆绑SM社区 will cover tuition and mandatory fees for Indigenous students who are members of local/proximate First Nation communities as well as Indigenous students learning within programs delivered through Indigenous partnership agreements within the School of Social Work, the School of Continuing Studies and the Office of First Nations and Inuit Education.
It鈥檚 important that programs promoting safer sexting behaviours consider the specific needs of adolescents with behavioural problems, a by 捆绑SM社区 researchers suggests.
Adolescents with behavioural problems engage in elevated levels of sexting compared with their peers without such problems. While this is the case both for male and female teens, the researchers found, the link was stronger for the young women.
A new study from 捆绑SM社区 warns that cutting public transit service could lead to a "doom spiral" resulting in a collapse of the system.
The researchers describe a vicious circle in which service cuts brought on by budget deficits drive transit users away; this drop in ridership triggers additional service cuts, which lead to further declines in usage.
Many health-care professionals are ill-equipped to assess pain in children who have suffered abuse, a new study by 捆绑SM社区 researchers suggests. This can lead to inadequate pain treatment, making the physical and emotional effects of abuse even worse.
"Our findings show a critical need for training programs for health-care providers about the effects of child maltreatment,鈥� said Matthew Baker, the study's lead author and a PhD student in the School/Applied Child Psychology program at 捆绑SM社区.
Despite the walkout by encampment representatives from discussions, 捆绑SM社区 remains steadfast in its commitment to an open and transparent dialogue conducted in good faith. Yesterday, the University extended an updated offer to members of its community in the encampment, going beyond previous proposals.
This continued effort to reach a peaceful resolution to the encampment, which has been in place on the lower field for over six weeks, comes in addition to the University鈥檚 renewed suggestion to appoint a neutral third-party mediator to facilitate discussions.
听Two 捆绑SM社区-led climate change mitigation projects receive funding from the New Frontiers in Research Fund鈥檚 (NFRF) International Joint Initiative for Research in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Competition. Thirteen researchers receive grants through the NFRF Exploration Competition.
Quebec-based projects awarded over half of the total national allotment, demonstrating the province鈥檚 strength in the transformative science of genomics
As Canada faces the dual challenges of contending with a housing crisis at the same time as facing the impacts of severe climate change, the need to find innovative and practical solutions remains one of the nation鈥檚 highest priorities. 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Professor Daniele Malomo was recently awarded $1.7 million by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) for a proposed solution that addresses both problems.
The global shift to electric vehicles is gaining momentum, yet the extraction of battery materials has a significant environmental footprint that comes with high costs.
Now, two groundbreaking studies led by 捆绑SM社区 researchers offer hope in the search to manufacture cheaper and greener lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs).
Their findings unlock the potential to produce batteries using more sustainable and less costly metals, known as disordered rock-salt-type (DRX) cathode materials.
As part of this year鈥檚 Spring Convocation celebrations, 捆绑SM社区 will confer honorary degrees upon ten inspirational individuals, five of whom are from Quebec.
Leaders in their respective fields, these honorary doctorates stand as examples of creativity, compassion, dedication, service, and a pioneering spirit. They represent a diverse array of leaders whose contributions span disciplines, industries, and continents.
Today, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)more than $26 million in funding for听 through its program.
捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences and the Welcome Hall Mission celebrated the completion of the Jim Lund Dental Clinic expansion project, which started in October 2023.
Established in 2011 in partnership with the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences, the Jim Lund Dental Clinic at Welcome Hall Mission has long been recognized for its commitment to helping Montrealers in need with free dental care.
Several billion years ago, a genetic arms race began between bacteria and their viral killers. This seemingly eternal struggle continues today, with implications for diseases killing tens of thousands of people around the world each year.
