Employment Insurance Coverage Survey, 2022 [Canada]
No full textThe main purpose of this survey is to study the coverage of the Employment Insurance (EI) program. It provides a meaningful picture of who does or does not have access to EI benefits among the jobless and those in a situation of underemployment. The Employment Insurance Coverage Survey also covers access to maternity and parental benefits.
The survey was designed to produce a series of precise measures to identify groups with low probability of receiving benefits, for instance, the long-term jobless, labour market entrants and students, people becoming unemployed after uninsured employment, people who have left jobs voluntarily and individuals who are eligible, given their employment history, but do not claim or otherwise receive benefits. The survey provides a detailed description of the characteristics of the last job held as well as reasons for not receiving benefits or for not claiming.
Through the survey data, analysts will also be able to observe the characteristics and situation of people not covered by EI and of those who exhausted EI benefits, the job search intensity of the unemployed, expectation of recall to a job, and alternate sources of income and funds.
Survey data pertaining to maternity and parental benefits answer questions on the proportion of parents of an infant who received maternity and parental benefits, the reason why some parents do not receive benefits and about sharing parental benefits with their spouse. The survey also allows looking at the timing and circumstances related to the return to work, the income adequacy of households with young children and more
ERA5-FWI-SN dataset
No full textThis dataset provides fine-scale gridded data of the daily components of the Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System, that best reflect physical processes, and also includes additional fire season-related indices. Designed for retrospective monitoring (6-days lag), the dataset enables daily tracking of fire danger across Canada.
The dataset includes the six daily FWI components, namely the Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC), the Duff Moisture Code (DMC), the Drought Code (DC), the Initial Spread Index (ISI), the Buildup Index (BUI) and the Fire Weather Index (FWI), as well as the Daily Severity Rating (DSR), the cumulated DSR (DSRc), the fire season onset (Onset), the end of fire season (WinterOnset) and the fire season length (FSL) indices.
Data, spanning from 1950 to the present year and covering the land surfaces of Canada, are provided in NetCDF and GeoTIFF file formats for each year, at a spatial resolution of 0.25° (approximatively 31 km). These data were calculated using ERA5 reanalysis hourly data. FWI components were computed using the solar noon (SN) method, which accounts for local insolation conditions. This method reduces discontinuities in indices value across longitudes-an issue that arises when the standard local noon method is used- particularly at higher spatial resolutions.
Overall, this dataset aims to improve our collective capacity to anticipate and respond to the spatiotemporal variability in fire danger conditions that may trigger severe and widespread forest fires across Canada
Care of the older adult experiencing hospitalization
No full textPart of the Virtu-WIL project. See https://www.collegesinstitutes.ca/what-we-do/canadian-partnerships/virtu-wil/ for more details on this. Nursing case, post-operative complications.
In this scenario, learners will care for an older adult who has had surgery to repair a fractured hip. Learners will identify risk factors and choose priority assessments to complete, evaluate findings and determine which findings require further investigation or intervention. The simulation will take place over several hours during a day shift on an orthopedic surgical unit.
This scenario should take 20 to 30 minutes to complete
Experience-Induced Plasticity in the Attention System in Healthy Adults Practicing Musical or Non-Musical Cognitivo-Motor Activity
No full textThe primary objective of this study was to investigate structural brain aging within the attentional system of singers and instrumentalists. Specifically, we examined cortical aging across three groups: amateur singers, amateur instrumentalists, and non-musician active controls. Data were collected from 109 healthy adults, divided as follows: 34 amateur singers (mean age = 61.62 ± 16.19 years; age range = 23–88; 65% female), 38 amateur instrumentalists (mean age = 52.47 ± 18.82 years; age range = 20–88; 32% female), and 37 controls (mean age = 55.57 ± 18.97 years; age range = 20–87; 49% female). We are sharing the aggregated dataset used for group-level statistical analyses, enabling others to replicate our findings or explore new analyses on cortical thickness data

Replication Data for: Optimizing the membrane composition of immobilized giant vesicles for effective entrapment and observation of motile bacteria
No full textThis dataset can be used to replicate the results found in the article "Optimizing the membrane composition of immobilized giant vesicles for effective entrapment and observation of motile bacteria."
A folder called the "Entrapment Efficiency" is a set of videos used to calculate how efficiently giant vesicles entrap motile bacteria AMB-1. Individual AMB-1 bacteria were counted in each video and an efficiency of bacteria trapped per area was calculated. The second is the "Lipid Mixture Spectra Data" which is spectrophotometry data of Laurdan, a lipophilic dye that reports on membrane order in the created giant vesicles. Using these spectra, one can calculate the generalized polarization of the different vesicles, which is an approximation of the membrane order in the vesicles. All .CZI files are able to opened with FIJI
Phylogenomics of coral-infecting corallicolids reveal multiple independent losses of chlorophyll biosynthesis in apicomplexan parasites
No full textThe transition from free-living to parasitic lifestyles induces major shifts in evolution, and nowhere is this more acute than in apicomplexans; obligate intracellular parasites of animals that evolved from photosynthetic algae. In other cases where photosynthesis has been lost, including most apicomplexans, chlorophyll is also absent, but in coral-infecting apicomplexans (corallicolids), chlorophyll biosynthesis genes are retained in the plastid genome despite their lack of photosystems. This suggests that the loss of photosynthesis and chlorophyll were decoupled in this lineage, but because these observations are only based on plastid genomes, two fundamental questions remain unclear. First, how this impacted apicomplexan evolution as a whole is unclear because there are conflicting phylogenetic positions for corallicolids: plastid gene phylogenies place them at the base of the apicomplexans whereas nuclear rRNA places them with late-branching coccidians. Second, it is unclear if chlorophyll or a metabolic intermediate is synthesized, as most chlorophyll biosynthesis enzymes are encoded in the nucleus. To address these questions we have sequenced transcriptomes from two corallicolids, infecting Parazoanthus swiftii and Madracis mirabilis. Phylogenomic data strongly support a late-branching relationship with coccidians, perhaps specifically to the protococcidians. We also find evidence for the expression of nucleus-encoded enzymes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis in corallicolids and protococcidians. Overall, we conclude that photosynthesis was lost at the origin of apicomplexans, but chlorophyll synthesis was nonetheless retained through most of the early evolution of the group, and then lost approximately nine times independently, emphasizing the impact of parallel evolutionary changes in parasitic transitions
Stratospheric Age of Air Derived from ACE-FTS and MIPAS SF6
No full textMonthly zonal mean stratospheric age of air derived from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment – Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) v3.5/3.6 SF6 measurements and from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) V5R_222 and V5R_223 SF6 measurements. Age of air is provided on a 3km altitude (8-32km) and 10 degree latitude grid. The method for deriving age of air is described in Saunders et al. (2024). Two netCDF files are produced per dataset for the entire February 2004 to February 2021 period: one where a correction has been applied to account for the mesospheric SF6 sink and one where no correction has been applied. The different datasets include: ACE-FTS v3.5/3.6, ACE-FTS v3.5/3.6 coincident with MIPAS V5R, MIPAS V5R, MIPAS V5R coincident with ACE-FTS v3.5/3.6. Months without any data (i.e. MIPAS after April 2012) are left as blank entries. The standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and the number of measurements used are also provided for each age of air value
