SUMMARY:#SafeSocial: Social Media’s Impact on Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Event Format: Webinar \nHosting Organization: APEGA \nCourse Summary: Studies show the average person spends up to six hours per day on social networking sites\, and younger people spend even more time than this. While social media enables connections and collaboration at an unprecedented scale\, there’s also a dark side to this networked world that’s laced with addiction\, depression\, harassment\, and more. By every measure\, social media is a risky behaviour\, like drugs\, alcohol\, or even driving. Since it’s not going anywhere\, abstinence might not be an option\, but you can still practice #SafeSocial. How is this activity we spend so much time doing actually affecting how we think and feel? What is happening out there in the social media world and how does it influence our mental health and the mental health of our youth? \nLearning objectives \n\nMake the connection between risky behaviours\, like driving or drugs\, and social media use.\nDescribe at least three major factors on social media that create the environment for mental health issues to arise (stressors).\nExplain up to six negative effects or “risks” of using social media to your mental health.\nIdentify the 5 Steps Towards #SafeSocial for improving your experience online.\nIdentify the steps you can take to improve the online community for everyone.\n\nHow to Register: Click here for more information and registration. \nEvent Contact: APEGA Professional Development Department – pd@apega.ca \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

SUMMARY:Social Media and Loneliness: What Do We Need to Know?
DESCRIPTION:Event Format: Webinar \nHosting Organization: APEGA \nCourse Summary: We humans are hard-wired for social relationships with one another. This capacity to connect is beneficial in multiple ways\, including decreasing health risks and improving our physical well-being and longevity. Social media has increased our ability to connect with each other while also\, ironically\, leading to an increased sense of loneliness for some people. Research suggests that we may have a “sweet spot” in our social media use that allows us to experience a sense of connection while steering clear of the potential mindless scrolling that can lead to less connection. \nLearning objectives \n\nNormal versus excessive or problematic social media use\nFactors that lead to some people feeling lonelier when using social media\nBenefits and potential drawbacks of social media use\n\nHow to Register: Click here for more information and registration. \nEvent Contact: APEGA Professional Development Department – pd@apega.ca \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

SUMMARY:iPolytek – How Sustainable is PV Solar Power? An Intro to Life Cycle Analysis and Planetary Boundaries – Online Course
DESCRIPTION:If you search “solar photovoltaic sustainability” on the internet\, you will find a multitude of articles hailing the technology as green\, clean and ready to spearhead our world into a sustainable future. However\, you will also come across articles that are much more critical of the technology. This begs the question\, “How does one go about accessing the environmental impacts of a technology in a systematic\, objective way?” We answer this question using PV solar power as a case study. \nIn this course\, we study an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of solar photovoltaic power and learn of its impacts on human health\, freshwater\, climate change\, ecosystems and land use. We compare the environmental performance of solar PV to other renewable and non-renewable electricity generation technologies. Finally\, we take an in-depth look at a scientific article in which researchers show how countries can determine their optimal energy mix given their available resources and environmental objectives. \nTime: 4-hour self-paced course.

SUMMARY:Field Scale Testing of Geosynthetic Stabilization for Soft Soils - a LARGE Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Event Format: In-person presentation \nLocation: Saskatoon\, SK \nHosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group \nEvent Summary: The University of Saskatchewan houses the Saskatchewan Soft Soil & Subgrade Stabilisation Study Site (S7)\, which has operated for 5 years. During this time\, S7 has conducted groundbreaking experiments to gain insights into Stabilisation and Reinforcement under full-scale loading conditions\, achieving several “World’s First and Only” milestones. This presentation will address the challenges and opportunities from the past 5 seasons\, covering the development of a large load frame\, propulsion system\, instrumentation\, hydraulic loading system\, materials\, construction techniques\, and real-time soil characterization. Technical objectives include working platform design\, cyclic loading analysis of composite soil-geosynthetics\, and shakedown theory. \nIn geosynthetics engineering\, scenarios like MSE retaining walls or steep slopes involve well-understood mechanisms of reinforcement for problems with mostly static loads. However\, many common soil-geosynthetic systems undergo cyclic\, transient\, and spatially-varying loading. Examples include working platforms and roads. In these cases\, permanent strains aren’t induced in the geosynthetic\, leading to a mechanism known as “mechanical stabilization.” Engineers face the challenge of quantifying the properties of the resulting composite material. \nHow to Register: Click here for more information and registration. \nEvent Contact: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.
