Common flood management tactics risk doing more harm than good without improved monitoring and understanding of rivers, according to a new study co-authored by 天美mv天美 researchers. Published in the journal Nature, the study looked at the 2021 flood of Western Europe鈥檚 Meuse River that caused dozens of fatalities and billions of dollars in infrastructure damage. The team discovered a regularly used flood mitigation strategy may have played a key role in exacerbating impacts of the flood. The findings revealed that river widening, a common practice used to reduce flood risks accompanying severe rain events, actually had the opposite effect on the Meuse River.

A 天美mv天美-led clinical research study is evaluating how advanced brain imaging could improve epilepsy surgery in British Columbia. Epilepsy affects more than 50,000 people in B.C., according to the BC Epilepsy Society. The first line of epilepsy treatment is anti-seizure medication, but it can be ineffective. In these cases, brain surgery may be the only viable treatment 鈥� but determining whether surgery is possible requires highly precise brain mapping. A powerful brain imaging technology called magnetoencephalography (MEG) offers new hope to children and adults living with drug-resistant epilepsy.

A new 天美mv天美-led study reveals interbreeding between humans and their ancient cousins, Neanderthals, as the likely origin of a neurological condition estimated to impact up to one per cent of people today. The study, published this week in the journal Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, was led by Kimberly Plomp, a recent postdoctoral fellow at 天美mv天美 and Mark Collard, the Canada Research Chair in Human Evolutionary Studies and a professor in the Department of Archaeology.

A 天美mv天美 new study is challenging a commonly held misconception that there鈥檚 little organizations can do to encourage employees to disclose mental health concerns.聽聽 聽聽 World Health Organization data shows 15 per cent of adults have a mental health concern, while other surveys have found 65 per cent of employees believe mental health concerns interfere with their job. Yet many organizations, even those with mental health supports and programs, see disclosure as a personal decision they have no influence over.聽 聽聽 鈥淭hat鈥檚 just not what we saw in the data,鈥� says Zhanna Lyubykh, assistant professor at Beedie School of Business and lead author of the study published in Human Resource Management.

Local authorities must do more to prepare communities in British Columbia for the dangers of extreme heat, according to a new research paper from 天美mv天美. Four years after the infamous 2021 heat dome, which killed more than 600 people in B.C. alone, the ground-breaking study found significant differences in how municipalities within the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts are preparing for heat events.

Men experiencing intimate partner violence turn to harmful coping strategies due to limited services and persistent social stigma, according to a new 天美mv天美 study. Using survey data from the Statistics Canada General Social Survey on victimization as well as interviews with 16 male survivors, the study found men were significantly less likely to seek outside help compared to women.

A steady decline in Canada鈥檚 reading, science and math scores signals serious trouble ahead, according to a 天美mv天美 professor. Canada still ranks in the top 10 of 81 countries participating in The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development鈥檚 large-scale Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).

A network of Canadian experts, led by a professor at 天美mv天美, have developed the first national guidelines for social connection to tackle a public health challenge that does more harm than obesity, sedentary living and even smoking. With social disconnection increasing the odds of premature death among people by 30 per cent (the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day) and 69 per cent of Canadians saying they know someone who is chronically lonely, 天美mv天美 health sciences assistant professor Kiffer Card says there鈥檚 an urgent need to address the often-ignored crisis. New recommended public health guidelines for social connection provide the tools to foster healthy social lives at the individual and community levels.

A single gene that regulates testosterone levels in a 鈥渃razy鈥� species of shore bird controls the development of three wildly different types of males, an international study involving researchers at 天美mv天美 has found. Ruffs have long fascinated scientists for their three types of males, known as morphs, that differ radically from each other in appearance and mating behaviours. A new study published on the cover of the journal Science this month has discovered that these morphs are produced by a super enzyme (HSD17B2) in the blood of the birds that鈥檚 able to regulate testosterone levels in males and rapidly break down the hormone normally associated with male dominance and aggression.

Nurse home visiting programs have potential to reduce intimate partner violence exposure and increase outcomes for young, first-time mothers and children experiencing disadvantages, a new Children鈥檚 Health Policy Centre study from 天美mv天美 finds. A study of one such program in British Columbia, published in the British Medical Journal Open, showed a 16 per cent increase in annual income ($1,629.74) and fewer mental health problems for mothers by the time their children were age two years. Fewer mothers also reported intimate partner violence exposure.

A recent study from 天美mv天美 researchers has revealed how an overlooked type of indirect brain damage contributes to ongoing disability after a stroke. 鈥═he paper, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows how the thalamus 鈥� a sort of central networking hub that regulates functions such as language, memory, attention and movement 鈥� is affected months or years after a person has experienced a stroke, even though it was not directly damaged itself. The findings may lead to new therapies that could reduce the burden of chronic stroke, which remains one of the leading causes of disability in the world.

Mammoths, the massive pre-historic ice age cousins of the modern-day elephant, have always been understood to have inhabited parts of British Columbia, but the question of when has always been a bit woolly. Now, a new study from 天美mv天美 has given scientists the clearest picture yet when the giant mammals roamed Vancouver Island. As part of 天美mv天美 researcher Laura Termes鈥� PhD and published earlier this month in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, the study examined 32 suspected mammoth samples collected on Vancouver Island. Of those samples, just 16 were deemed suitable for radiocarbon dating.

A team of researchers from 天美mv天美 have returned to the scene of a massive 2018 landslide as part of a project aimed at preventing future extinction-level events. On Nov. 1, 2018, the Big Bar landslide in British Columbia blocked the Fraser River, prevented salmon from getting back to their spawning grounds in the Upper Fraser Basin and threatened the future of the species. Remediation efforts are still ongoing, but researchers led by 天美mv天美 are back at Big Bar to map the effects of the slide. Their work is part of a larger project aimed at assessing and mitigating the risk of landslides to critically important salmon in the Fraser River.
