Title From Here To: Everyday Wayfinding in the Age of Digital Maps

Excerpt These days, navigation is often associated with “asking” Google Maps for directions. Over one billion people per month use Google Maps and Google estimates that one-in-three mobile searches are location-related. What do spatial information practices look like in these everyday information contexts? To explore this question of street-level wayfinding, I used exploratory performance-based and drawing-based […]

Title Measuring and Incorporating Family Spillover Cost and Health Consequences in Economic Evaluation of Child Health Interventions

Excerpt Background: A child’s health conditions affect family members’ health, well-being, and economic well-being. However, these spillover effects are ignored in conventional economic evaluations, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the cost and consequences of child health interventions. Frameworks for including family spillover effects have been proposed but are not specific to pediatric economic evaluations.Objective: The […]

Title Trait Choice and Dimensionality Alter Estimates of Phenotypic Dissimilarity in Community Ecology

Excerpt The ecological niche is a multi-dimensional concept including aspects of resource use, environmental tolerance, and interspecific interactions, and the degree to which niches overlap is central to many ecological questions. Plant phenotypic traits are increasingly used as surrogates of species niches, but we lack an understanding of how key sampling decisions affect our ability to […]

Title Health System Performance Measurement in a Circumpolar Context: Selecting Performance Indicators for Maternity Care

Excerpt Performance measurement is a necessary component of a transparent health system. In circumpolar regions, indicators that align with national strategies may fail to address priorities of northern, remote, or Indigenous populations. The objective of this study was to select contextually appropriate performance indicators for maternity care in circumpolar regions. A scoping review of the academic […]

Title Attentional Modulation of Emotional Lateralization Biases with Verbal and Nonverbal Stimuli

Excerpt Within hemispheric asymmetry literature, emotional processing appears to be predominately right lateralized; however, this degree of lateralization seems more complex when the stimuli engage with multiple functions lateralized across hemispheres, such as language, face perception, and spatial attention. Using the divided visual field paradigm, our online experiment employs a 2×2 design to examine the scope […]

Title Evaluation of an Electroencephalography Source Imaging based Brain-computer Interface for Youth with Brain Lesions

Excerpt Brain lesions are the underlying cause of many neurological disorders that lead to physical impairments and disabilities. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been proposed as an access technology for these individuals since they allow users to communicate using only their brain activity. While electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most popular BCI modalities due to its […]

Title Cu-P and Cu-La-P Alloys as Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalysts

Excerpt The recent development of anion exchange membranes has renewed interest in alkaline water electrolysis as a means of converting renewable energy to storable H2. New electrocatalysts are required to take advantage of the additional performance offered by anion exchange membrane water electrolysers. Cu-P-based alloys are interesting as hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts due to a combination of […]
