- The Alberta Continuing Care Epidemiological Studies (ACCES) was a province-wide research program involving over 2,000 older adults residing in designated assisted/supportive living facilities (DAL) and in long-term care facilities (LTC) between 2006 and 2009, their family caregivers, and the facilities in which they lived. The objectives of ACCES were: a) to examine the health, social needs, and quality of care of older adults in DAL and LTC facilities in Alberta, b) to identify the mix of services provided to these residents, including assistance from family caregivers, and c) to examine health outcomes across settings, taking resident and facility characteristics into account.

The ELC Research Partnership's initiative is focused on three interrelated objectives. First, by drawing from participatory action research and institutional ethnography, we aim to build a model of research that values and builds upon the knowledge of frontline service providers. Second, we will conduct research to understand the impact of our current policy and funding models on the community-based FAE sector. Through this research we aim to document the complexities of service provision from the standpoint of FAE practitioners and identify the impact of policy and funding models on pedagogical practice and organizational effectiveness in FAE providers. Third, our research will culminate with a participatory process of sector stakeholders to build a new framework for policy and funding of FAE, which is based in the realities of frontline service provision and which values the educational aspirations and lifelong learning of foundational adult learners. Through this research partnership we aim to increase our research capacity and literacy as frontline practitioners, but also to cultivate new knowledge and new relationships within the community-based FAE sector.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , The Goddess of Victory at Al Humaymah and in Nabataean Art(2025) Harvey, Craig A.Recent analysis of archaeological material excavated from the site of Al Humaymah (Nabataean Hawara, Roman Hauarra) has identified at least two depictions of the goddess Victoria/Nike. The first of these representations is a fragment of a marble statue of the deity, which is also the first example of figural marble statuary found at the site. The second example is a painted depiction of the winged goddess in a figural wall painting from the Roman fort that appears to show a triumphal procession, which may be the first known illustration of such a scene on painted plaster from the Roman world. Both these examples represent significant discoveries from Al Humaymah and add to a growing corpus of depictions of Victoria/Nike both in the art of this region and in the visual culture associated with the Roman military along the wider eastern frontier. This contribution presents these two recently identified depictions of Victoria/Nike from Al Humaymah and ends with a brief discussion of this deity’s appearance in the art of the Petra region.Item type: Item , Access status: Authenticated , Environment: The Hill Times Policy Briefing, December 10, 2025(2025-12-10) Hill Times PublishingItem type: Item , Access status: Authenticated , The Hill Times, Wednesday, December 10, 2025(2025-12-10) Hill Times PublishingThe newspaper of Parliament.
