A 50/50 Ball: The East versus the EU in the Refugee Relocation Game
(Verfassungsblog. On Matters Constitutional., 2017-07-31) -
Acculturation through the lens of language: Syrian refugees in Canada and Germany (Postprint)
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)In this study, we examined the acculturation experiences of Syrian refugee families in two contexts: Toronto, Canada and Munich, Germany. Using qualitative methodologies, we examined acculturation orientation through the ... -
Activation amplitude and temporal synchrony among back extensor and abdominal muscles during a controlled transfer task: comparison of men and women
(Elsevier, 2012-08)Muscle synergies are important for spinal stability, but few studies examine temporal responses of spinal muscles to dynamic perturbations. This study examined activation amplitudes and temporal synergies among compartments ... -
Activation amplitude patterns do not change for back muscles but are altered for abdominal muscles between dominant and non-dominant hands during one-handed lifts
(SpringerLink, 2009-05)It is assumed when lifting with the dominant hand that the relationship between contralateral and ipsilateral trunk muscle responses are similar to when lifting with the non-dominant hand. The purpose of this study was to ... -
Addictions and impulse-control disorders as occupation: A selected literature review and synthesis
(2011-07)Objective. The question addressed in this paper is: “Are activities that are classified as ‘addictions’ and ‘impulse-control disorders’ occupations?” Background. Current conceptualisations of occupation focus on positive ... -
Addressing Gaps in Knowledge for Infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: A literature review (Preprint)

Age, Experience and Language and Literacy Skills in English- Arabic Speaking Syrian Refugees
(MDPI, 2023)Although age of acquisition (AoA) is frequently used when examining the endpoint of second language (L2) learning, it is rarely used to examine the initial phases of L2 acquisition. The present study provided a unique look ... -
Age-related changes in trunk neuromuscular activation patterns during a controlled functional transfer task include amplitude and temporal synergies
(Elsevier, 2014)While healthy aging is associated with physiological changes that can impair control of trunk motion, few studies examine how spinal muscle responses change with increasing age. This study examined whether older (over 65 ... -
Antimicrobial Activities of Jadomycin B and Structurally Related Analogues
(2009-03)Natural products are leads for new antibiotics as a result of their structural complexity and diversity. We have isolated a series of structurally related polyketide-derived natural products from Streptomyces venezuelae ... -

Asset-Challenge Shifts of Rural and Remote Communities in the Global Context of Climate Change: A Systematic Review through the Natural-Built-Social-Environment Triangulation
(2024)This SSHRC Knowledge Synthesis Grant project used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach to comprehensively synthesize the current knowledge of climate change and climate-induced ... -
Asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals with the same radiographic evidence of knee osteoarthritis walk with different knee moments and muscle activity
(Wiley, 2016-11-01)There is an established discordance between the structural joint damage and clinical symptoms of knee osteoarthritis; however, there has been little investigation into the differences in joint level biomechanics and muscle ... -
