Estimate the Area of Antarctica using Map Scale
The task involves estimating the area of Antarctica by utilizing the map scale provided. Understanding the map scale is crucial to making an accurate estimation of the continent's size. By applying mathematical techniques and scaling principles, one can derive a reasonable approximation of Antarctica's area.

Advancing Knowledge Translation Research in Rehabilitation: a Quebec Strategic Initiative Co-leads: D Kairy, PhD, PT & A Thomas, PhD, OT Team members: S Ahmed, PhD, PT D Anaby, PhD, OT A Bussi res, PhD, DC C Gagnon, PhD, OT ME Lamontagne, PhD, OT A Rochette, PhD, OT K Shikako-Thomas PhD, OT Supported by: K Montpetit-Tourangeau, MC Hall
KT-SIRQ Financial support provided by the Quebec Rehabilitation Research Network (REPAR)
Rationale for a strategic initiative in KT research in rehabilitation in Quebec Sub-optimal research use in rehabilitation clinical practice despite growing body of research in rehabilitation (e.g Di Rezze 2012, Duncan 2002, Law 2004) Various patient populations (eg. MSK, neuro) Across the lifespan (eg. Pediatrics, older adults) Advances in the field of KT research, including in rehabilitation Need to organize KT research specifically in the field of rehabilitation: Knowledge Translation Strategic Initiative in Rehabilitation in Quebec (KT-SIRQ)
KT-SIRQ-Who are we? 4 universities McGill University Universit de Montr al Universit Laval Universit de Sherbrooke Range of patient populations, target audiences and stakeholders Pediatric to older adults Neurology, orthopedic Clinical, academic, community, patients, caregivers, government and policy makers 3 research centers CRIR CIRRIS GRIMN
Mission of the KT-SIRQ Build capacity and promote collaborative KT research in rehabilitation to improve the delivery of services and ultimately the health and wellbeing of individuals with physical disabilities
Specific objectives for 1styear (2014-2015) To develop a mission statement for the KT-SIRQ To conduct an environmental scan of KT research activities taking place in rehabilitation in Quebec Develop a 5-year strategic plan for KT rehabilitation research in Quebec
Methods used to date Mixed-methods approach Iterative consultation process among team members for mission, vision and goals of KT-SIRQ Environmental scan of current rehabilitation KT research activities in Quebec University and funding agency websites, or direct contact to funding agencies Consensus retreat session and Delphi consensus method for priority setting for the strategic plan Expert validation
Outcomes to date 12 month Vision, mission, and goals
Vision: To enhance the health of individuals with physical disabilities in Quebec by advancing KT research in rehabilitation science. Mission: To build capacity and promote collaborative KT research in rehabilitation to improve the delivery of services and ultimately the health and wellbeing of individuals with physical disabilities. The goals are to: 1) Build capacity in KT research in and implementation in rehabilitation and promote networking 2) Identify and engage relevant stakeholders (e.g., consumers of rehabilitation services, service providers, organizations, decision makers) to support the mission of the Quebec KT Rehabilitation Strategic Initiative 3) Be a catalyst for the creation, application and evaluation of innovative and effective KT strategies for individuals with physical disabilities 4) Advance KT research in rehabilitation
Outcomes to date 12 months Environmental scan Classification categories of researchers 1) Primarily a KT researcher (e.g. has formalized training in KT (PhD, post doctoral training in KT or courses with KT Canada), all research conducted is centered on an aspect of KT) 2) Researcher conducts research in the field of KT as well as research in areas not directly related to KT. 3) Researcher whose main area of research is not related to KT but appears to include an element of KT in a part of this research (e.g. developing clinical practice guidelines in their main area of research)
Outcomes to date 12 months Environmental scan
Outcomes to date 12 months 5-year strategic plan 4 goals: Build capacity in KT research and implementation in rehabilitation Engage stakeholders Be a catalyst for KT in rehabilitation Advance KT research in rehabilitation Identified relevant strategies for each goal, required actions and resources Conducted expert consultation process regarding coherence, feasibility, relevance (N=7).
Moving forward: A few lessons learned Importance of : Structuring the initiative to move it forward Buy-in, dedication and active involvement from team members Buy-in from relevant stakeholders Adequate financial resources Range of expertise among team members (different perspectives) Strategic initiative as a valuable tool for capacity building Using frameworks in the strategic initiative: comprehensive frameworks versus multiple models.
Next steps for the KT-SIRQ Integrate feedback from expert consultation process Validate and expand on environmental scan findings Identify current strengths/weaknesses of and needs for KT research in rehabilitation in Quebec Targeted groups (clinicians, patients, caregivers, decision makers ) Component of the KT process (knowledge creation, dissemination, implementation) Nature of KT research projects
Next steps for the KT-SIRQ Undertake actions from the strategic plan for each goal Some examples: Identify or develop and promote training programs in KT Identify stakeholders in clinical settings and develop links with other complementary initiatives and groups conduct scoping reviews Identify funding opportunities for sustainability of the strategic initiative
Conclusion Over 60 researchers in rehabilitation in Quebec addressing KT in some area of their research Timing is good to put in place structure and resources, as well as identify relevant partnerships and collaborations to help advance the field of KT research in rehabilitation More to come
