Brown Adipose Tissue Activity and Childhood Exposure to Cold Are Associated With Hot Flashes at Menopause
OBJECTIVE: Hot flashes (HFs) are experienced as sudden sensations of heat. We hypothesized that brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation could increase the likelihood of HFs in winter. The aim of this study was to test whether women with more BAT activity were more likely to experience self-reported or biometrically measured HFs. METHODS: Women aged 45-55 years (n = 270) participated in face-to-face interviews and anthropometric and ambulatory measu…
Transdisciplinary partnerships for sustainability
Transdisciplinary research, in which academics and actors from outside the academy co-produce knowledge, is an important approach to address urgent sustainability challenges. Indeed, to meet these real-world challenges, governments, universities, development agencies, and civil society organizations have made substantial investments in transdisciplinary partnerships. Yet to date, our understanding of the performance, as well as impacts, of these …
Inter-Group Perceptions of Key Performance Indicators for Monitoring and Evaluating Scenic Viewpoints
This study examines the perceptions of stakeholders in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of scenic viewpoints. We statistically compare the perceptions of two different visitor groups (residents of the Niagara region and tourists) regarding key performance indicators (KPIs) for M&E at 12 different viewpoint sites in Niagara Parks. Visitor perceptions were also compared to environmental managers’ perceptions of the viewpoint sites. Results demonstra…
The issue of performance in Higher education institution - Community partnerships
Higher education institutions are expected to account for their performance and this increasingly includes strengthening community relationships. However, assessment of Higher education institution (HEI)-Community partnerships is nascent. In this study we seek to discern the situation of these partnerships and examine accountability for performance in Canada, thereby advancing understanding about this international phenomenon. A search of Canadia…
