Multimodal deep learning framework for recurrence risk stratification in soft tissue sarcoma: a multicenter study
Abstract Accurate prediction of recurrence risk is essential to devise effective and personalized treatment strategies for patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). This study aimed to develop and validate a multimodal deep learning framework that integrates clinical features, preoperative MR images, and hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole slide images (WSIs) to predict recurrence in patients with STS.
Two-step immigration selection and post-admission earnings
Immigration policy is central to the future of the federation. This series explores recent challenges and opportunities, turning complex issues into clear, actionable insights. Economic immigrants selected through the two-step process — first as temporary foreign workers before being permanent residents — generally earn more than those selected directly from abroad.
From Temporary to Permanent Residency: Recent Trends in Canada’s Two-Step Immigration Selection
Canada’s approach to economic immigration has been fundamentally reshaped by the expansion of two-step immigration selection: a large share of permanent residents are now transitioning from temporary foreign worker and international student pathways. In 2023, almost half of new permanent residents had gone through such a process and provinces have become a much more significant source of two-step immigration than in the past.

B.C. bill on international credential recognition is a good start but needs improvement
To obtain a licence to practise in any regulated occupation, newcomers to Canada need to have their foreign credentials recognized by a responsible provincial regulatory body. Although the situation differs from province to province, the process is widely recognized as unjust, expensive and lengthy. Various provincial and federal initiatives have attempted to resolve the issues since the 1980s.

Facilitating two-electron oxygen reduction with pyrrolic nitrogen sites for electrochemical hydrogen peroxide production - Nature Communications
Abstract Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction is a promising alternative to the energy-intensive and high-pollution anthraquinone oxidation process. However, developing advanced electrocatalysts with high H2O2 yield, selectivity, and durability is still challenging, because of the limited quantity and easy passivation of active sites on typical metal-containing catalysts, especially for the state-of-the-art single-atom ones.
French as a condition of immigration: the CAQ’s new reform
(Version française disponible ici) The Quebec government presented new immigration guidelines in the spring, and within them the message was clear: language is now an ironclad condition for permanent settlement in the province. The tightening of the rules will have a major impact not only on future immigrants, but also on those already living in Quebec.
Canada needs new immigrants, but must plan for the consequences
Despite their success, Canadian immigration and settlement policies are producing some unintended negative effects on post-secondary education, housing, the labour market, and visa and immigration processes. Because these areas are interrelated, when one becomes compromised, others are also affected. The number of scams, false claims and fake documents in the immigration and temporary workers’ permits process points to this issue.
Evolutionary Optimization of Energy Consumption and Makespan of Workflow Execution in Clouds
Abstract : Making sound trade-offs between the energy consumption and the makespan of workflow execution in cloud platforms remains a significant but challenging issue. So far, some works balance workflows’ energy consumption and makespan by adopting multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, but they often regard this as a black-box problem, resulting in the low efficiency of the evolutionary search.
A Two-State Dynamic Decomposition-Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Handling Many-Objective Optimization Problems
Abstract : Decomposition-based many-objective evolutionary algorithms (D-MaOEAs) are brilliant at keeping population diversity for predefined reference vectors or points. However, studies indicate that the performance of an D-MaOEA strongly depends on the similarity between the shape of the reference vectors (points) and that of the PF (a set of Pareto-optimal solutions symbolizing balance among objectives of many-objective optimization problems) of the many-objective problem (MaOP).
Recent trends and the role of destination characteristics
Footnote. Notable examples of IRCC’s recent settlement initiatives include the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. The Atlantic Immigration Pilot offers a permanent residence pathway to skilled foreign workers and international graduates from a Canadian institution who want to work and live in one of Canada’s four Atlantic provinces. The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program was replaced with the Atlantic Immigration Program in 2022.

How the government used the pandemic to sharply increase immigration
The federal government has seized the opportunity to sharply increase immigration levels in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic’s radical altering of global migration and the free flow of people. Most of Canada’s immigration programs have recovered from the depths of COVID-19 health and travel restrictions. Over the last two years, the government has adapted by expanding online applications and modernizing its application processes.
Regulating the Electronic Configuration of Supported Iron Nanoparticles for Electrochemical Catalytic Nitrogen Fixation
Abstract Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) is a sustainable alternative to the traditional Haber–Bosch process due to its eco-friendly nature and capability of utilizing renewable energy. However, its low Faradic efficiency (FE), caused by the excessive adsorption and reduction of protons, has been regarded as the main challenge, which leads to low ammonia yield as well.

A Cross-national Comparison Between Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States
This paper investigates the effect of unemployment on life satisfaction from a comparative perspective. It also tests whether the link between unemployment and life satisfaction is moderated or reinforced by contextual unemployment across regions within a country—either through a negative spillover or a positive social-norm effect, or both. The results suggest that noticeable non-pecuniary costs are associated with unemployment in the four countries studied.
Full-time Employment, 1976 to 2014
by René Morissette, Feng Hou, and Grant Schellenberg Social Analysis and Modelling Division Full-time employment is an important labour market indicator from the perspective of both labour supply and demand. On the supply side, full-time jobs are the main channel through which working-age Canadians generate income and are a key determinant of financial well-being. Full-time employment also reveals information about the success of some groups in the labour market.
Crystal structure of a Ca 2+ -dependent regulator of flagellar motility reveals the open-closed structural transition
The crystal structure revealed that calaxin was composed of 11 helices (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Table 1) and contained four EF-hand motifs (Fig. 1b). Similarly to other NCS-family proteins, calaxin can be divided into two domains: the N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain.
Co-ethnic concentration and trust in Canada’s urban neighbourhoods
This study investigates the relationship between the density of people’s ethno-racial in-group in their neighbourhoods (co-ethnic concentration) and trust in their neighbours. Previous studies demonstrate that ethno-racial diversity decreases trust in others, however, these studies rely on overly broad definitions of diversity and of trust, and often do not disaggregate the effects for Whites and ethno-racial minorities.
Structural Basis of the Recruitment of Ubiquitin-specific Protease USP15 by Spliceosome Recycling Factor SART3
Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) USP15 and USP4 belong to a subset of USPs featuring an N-terminal tandem domain in USP (DUSP) and ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain. Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T-cell 3 (SART3), a spliceosome recycling factor, binds to the DUSP-UBL domain of USP15 and USP4, recruiting them to the nucleus from the cytosol to control deubiquitination of histone H2B and spliceosomal proteins, respectively.
