Perceptions on opioid prescribing after total joint arthroplasty among surgeons practising in Canada, Japan, and the Netherlands: an interpretive description study

Total hip and knee replacement surgeries are the second and third most common surgical procedures in Canada, respectively. Opioid analgesics are routinely prescribed to manage pain after these procedures, making orthopaedic surgeons the third-highest opioid prescribers in Canada. However, opioids are not typically more effective than alternatives (e.g., NSAIDs) and are associated with addiction, overdose, and death. Compared with Canada, Japan’s opioid use is sparse. Likewise, opioid misuse and opioid-related death are substantially lower in the Netherlands than in Canada, but greater than in Japan. Accordingly, these three countries represent high (Canada), moderate (Netherlands), and low (Japan) “cases” of opioid prescribing. Using a qualitative research methodology, interpretive description, and semi-structured interviews, this study compares the perceptions of orthopaedic surgeons on postoperative opioid prescribing, and explores facilitators and barriers. The insights obtained from this study may help to identify potential drivers of practise variations, which can be used to inform system-wide initiatives supporting safer opioid prescribing practises.

Designing a user-friendly platform for a water conservation device using behavioural science

Canada is one of the largest per capita users of fresh water in the world. A blind spot in water consumption is that people are often unaware of how much water is being used. One solution is to provide instant feedback on water consumption to users and use behavioural interventions to promote water conservation among users. In this project, we will conduct a literature review on behavioural interventions that promote water conservation. Based on the literature, we will design and test prototypes of an interactive dashboard (target application: mobile) and display device (hardware accessory) to identify the optimal design for a water conservation device. This project will ultimately help Canadian and international consumers to conserve water.

Designing and Prototyping an Isolated Three-Stage GaN-Based Bidirectional 6.6 kW On-Board Charger (OBC)

Galium Nitride (GaN) technology compared to the conventional silicon and silicon carbide technologies gives better switching performance in terms of switching losses and switching speed. Also, since GaN Fets do not have intrinsic body diode as in Si and SiC based switching MOSFETS, they can work at much higher frequencies in room temperature, leading to using more compact passive components for power electronics devices. Production of bidirectional onboard chargers (OBC) are boosted due to the increasing demand for electric vehicles. GaN Systems Inc. provides high-efficient GaN Fets which can facilitate reaching more efficient and compact OBCs. The production of a 6.6 kW bidirectional OBC with above 96% peak efficiency is projected using GaN products of GaN systems Inc. The final design will facilitate the usage of GaN technologies in automotive industry, increase the system efficiency, and encourage the more exploitations of GaN Systems products.

Susciter l’engagement au partage récurrent de données multimériques et biologiques

Le domaine de la santé connectée ne cesse de se développer et des outils à la fine pointe technologique sont proposés pour faire le suivi de l’état de santé des individus et prédire certaines maladies. Ces nouvelles technologies présentent des avantages indéniables tant pour les individus que pour les professionnels de la santé, accès instantané aux données médicales, suivi en temps réel de l’état de santé du patient et poser de meilleurs diagnostics permettant ainsi de garantir une plus grande efficacité du système et réduire les risques d’erreur. Or, ces dispositifs de santé connectée font face à un manque d’adhésion de la part des individus qui se manifeste à travers le manque de motivation et d’implication à fournir leurs données. Ce projet consiste donc à analyser les facteurs motivationnels qui amènent les individus à s’impliquer davantage dans l’utilisation des outils de santé numérique.

Is this natural language?

The partner provides software that uses natural language processing techniques to store and analyze documents of different firms. This includes their widely used smart document storage software. The techniques suffer performance when they use text that is not written in well-formed “natural language”, such as tables and labels. The intern will be designing and implementing a model to classify given text as being well-formed or not. The model will then be included in existing software to detect if given text is well-formed or not and the text that is not well-formed will not be considered. This should improve the performance of existing software and future software that analyze text.

Parcours Hubble- Voir loin. Rêver grand.

Au Québec, seulement 64% des adolescents obtiennent leur diplôme d’études secondaires. Le décrochage scolaire entraîne des conséquences importantes chez le jeune et la société. Puisque ce phénomène est le résultat de difficultés personnelles, mais aussi familiales, scolaires et sociales, y répondre nécessite une approche coordonnée. Ce projet de recherche permettra de mesurer l’impact d’une intervention sur le décrochage scolaire d’adolescents provenant de milieux défavorisés. 30 élèves participeront à un bootcamp de deux jours organisé par Éducaide qui favorisera le contact avec des réalités différentes et la diversification de la notion de réussite. Ils rencontreront ensuite mensuellement un mentor afin d’établir des cibles de développement. L’intervention sera mesurée à l’aide de questionnaires et d’entrevue individuelle. Les partenaires développeront de nouvelles façons d’augmenter la motivation et l’engagement scolaire des jeunes à risque de décrochage scolaire.

Industrial Health and Safety Data Management and Training Mobile Platform

Accidents can be predicted and avoided with the use of health and safety data management software. (Guzman 2013) While a variety of IT health and safety management solutions have been developed for Fortune 500 companies, few of these solutions meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. One that does is Business2Mobile’s (B2M) Web API Data Management platform, which can help small and medium size companies to keep track of health and safety data. This research will help to measure market size and competitors, and will identify gaps within the marketplace. The project scope is to analyze market scenarios and trends, give recommendations and develop a market penetration strategy. Intern will use different research methodologies, including internet research, interviews, surveys, and case studies, to collect information that will assist B2M in improving their products and services. Further, they will benefit from the strategic plan intern develops, which will have recommendations for the expansion of their products and services.
