Decolonizing urban Indigenous healthcare: The potential of urban reserves.

The urbanization of Indigenous peoples in Canada has increased substantially during recent decades, with over 44% of Indigenous peoples now residing in urban centres. Despite the urban concentration of healthcare services, Indigenous health outcomes remain significantly worse than non-Indigenous health outcomes for people living in urban centres. The historical and subsisting impacts of colonialism have had a profound negative influence on social determinants of health for Indigenous peoples, resulting in higher rates of chronic disease and mortality.

Unveiling the impact of the SMARTCLAP project on habilitation.

This report summarises the SMARTCLAP research project, which employs a user-centred design approach to develop a revolutionary smart product service system. The system offers personalised motivation to encourage children with cerebral palsy to actively participate more during their occupational therapy sessions, while providing paediatric occupational therapists with an optimal tool to monitor children's progress from one session to another. The product service system developed includes of a smart wearable device called DigiClap used to interact with a serious game in an Augmented Reality environment.

Scoping review of current challenges and circumstances impacting Indigenous applications to Canadian medical schools.

Introduction: Considering the relevant 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommendations, this paper reviews the current state of Canadian medical schools' Indigenous admissions processes and explores continued barriers faced by Indigenous applicants.

Methods: A summary of literature illustrating disadvantages for Indigenous applicants of current admissions tools is presented. A grey literature search of current admissions requirements, interview processes, and other relevant data from each medical school was performed.

Auxetics and FEA: Modern Materials Driven by Modern Simulation Methods.

Auxetics are materials, metamaterials or structures which expand laterally in at least one cross-sectional plane when uniaxially stretched, that is, have a negative Poisson's ratio. Over these last decades, these systems have been studied through various methods, including simulations through finite elements analysis (FEA). This simulation tool is playing an increasingly significant role in the study of materials and structures as a result of the availability of more advanced and user-friendly commercially available software and higher computational power at more reachable costs.
