The frequency of spawning and skipped migration in a central Canadian population of anadromous Arctic char inferred using acoustic telemetry

Understanding spawning frequency and migration behaviour is essential for managing iteroparous anadromous fishes such as Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus). Using a decade of acoustic telemetry data from southern Victoria Island, Nunavut, we examined the frequency of marine migrati...

Building a Stack for Systems Deployment

We are introducing few lines of methodology to start building Models & Systems for Deployment. We start first with Asana Platform and the Automated Fact-Checker [here]. More Collaboration Invitation will be sent to participate in the project.

Slaughter blood-derived bioactive peptides: structure-function relationships, species-specific bioactivities, gastrointestinal stability, and sustainable applications in food systems

This is a comprehensive review focusing on the utilization of slaughter blood proteins as sources of bioactive peptides for functional food applications. Despite significant advances in bioactive peptide research, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding species-specific variatio...

phonokit: a toolkit to create phonological representations in Typst

Creating high-quality phonological representations in academic documents is often time-consuming and requires juggling multiple tools and LaTeX packages (most notably tikz). This vignette introduces phonokit, an open-source Typst package designed to streamline the creation of pho...

The impact of entrepreneurship education on sustainable entrepreneurial intentions: A quasi-experimental study

In this paper, we examine how a semester-long sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship course shapes sustainable entrepreneurial intention (SEI) through individual sustainability orientation (ISO). Grounded in an adaptation of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, ISO is conceptualize...

Potential of Dairy Coproducts in Wood Modification: Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties

Abstract Chemical modification of wood using citric acid and polyols is a promising biosourced route to improve dimensional stability. However, conventional polyols can be costly and are derived from food-grade resources. Dairy coproducts such as whey and whey ultrafiltration per...

Determinants of complementary feeding practices – a qualitative study exploring mothers and fathers’ experiences in Canada

The complementary feeding period, defined as the introduction of solid foods alongside continued breastmilk and/or infant formula, is increasingly recognized as a critical window of opportunity for the healthy development of children. However, parental adherence to complementary...

La déshumanisation comme dépersonnification juridique. Un autre regard kantien sur la condition des réfugiés

Résumé Cet article vise à mettre en lumière les processus de déshumanisation actuellement à l’œuvre dans le traitement des réfugiés. À cette fin, il développe une conception kantienne de la déshumanisation comme « dépersonnification juridique ». Il présente deux façons dont cette...

Development of Decision-Making Tools for Regulating Heavy Vehicle Passage on Embankment Dams

Abstract Embankment dams are frequently located in areas with specialized transportation needs, such as mining or heavy equipment transport. In remote northern regions with limited road infrastructure, utilizing dam crests for heavy vehicle circulation can significantly reduce tr...

Digital capabilities, global value chains, and sustainability: A bibliometric-content review of converging literatures and governance complementarities

Research on digital capabilities, including Industry 4.0 technologies, increasingly intersects with debates on sustainability and global value chains (GVCs), yet the evidence base remains uneven. This bibliometric-content review maps a 199-record broad-convergence corpus linking...

Genome-wide cross-trait analysis to compare genetic architecture between Parkinson’s disease and kidney-related traits

Abstract Epidemiological studies link kidney function to Parkinson’s disease risk, but the genetic basis of this relationship remains unclear. Here, we leverage genome-wide association data for Parkinson’s disease and five UK Biobank-derived kidney-related traits in individuals o...

Evolutions of Non‐oxygenated Compounds in Sunlit Subarctic Thermokarst Pond Surface Waters

Abstract With global climate change, ground subsidence caused by permafrost thawing leads to the formation of thermokarst ponds, where organics from eroding permafrost accumulate in part as dissolved organic matter (DOM). Surface waters were collected from two subarctic thermokar...

Assessing the Climate Benefits of Hybridization in Forest Harvesters: A Life Cycle Perspective

Hybrid-electric powertrains have emerged as a promising solution for reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in mechanized forest operations. This study presents a cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) comparing a conventional diesel engine and a hybrid...

A comprehensive map of the bovine mobilome and their epigenetic regulation of mastitis

Abstract Retrotransposons are major components of mammalian genomes, yet their genome-wide annotation and epigenetic regulation in cattle remain incompletely characterized. Here, we present a comprehensive annotation and integrative epigenomic analysis of major retrotransposon cl...

When compliance culture fails to curb incivility: leadership mechanisms and organizational culture across key industries

Purpose This study examines how three compliance culture dimensions – organizational compliance (formal governance), individual compliance (value internalization) and leadership compliance (visible commitment), predict employee whistleblowing intentions across industries and coun...

Insomnia treatment preferences of older adults and people living with dementia: A qualitative study

BackgroundInsomnia is common in people living with dementia and older adults. While clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological treatment as first-line therapy, insomnia is often managed with benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRAs), which carry a significant risk of medica...

Un bien au-delà de la sentience ? Examen de la conception téléo-sélectionniste du bien propre défendue en éthique de l’environnement

Résumé Cet article examine la conception téléo-sélectionniste du bien propre proposée en éthique de l’environnement afin de rendre compte de l’aptitude d’entités biologiques non sentientes (organismes, espèces, écosystèmes) à être affectées positivement ou négativement par les ét...
