If You Don’t Like the Game, Change the Rules: Alternative Modes of Videogame Production

The games industry is infamous for making employees work excessive hours, fostering toxic work environments, and burning out its workforce. Despite these concerns, game developers are hesitant to change how their businesses are organised. This research project will explore the reasons that Canadian game workers may be reluctant to adopt alternative labour structures such as unions, cooperatives, and 4-day work weeks. The research team will gather information through interviews and surveys with game workers, labour organisers, and industry experts. The primary research outputs for this project are: 1) a white paper summarising research findings and contextualising them the current media landscape and; 2) a comic that outlines alternatives to traditional work structures.
This research project will help further GAIN’s goals of building solidarity across regional game arts and industry groups. Both research outcomes are designed to foster discussions about better labour futures in the Canadian videogame industry.

Lobster Acoustic Signalling During Behavioural Interactions

Acoustic Bait Technologies (ABT) is a start-up company located in Morristown, Nova Scotia. They are developing an alternative bait system for the lobster fishery, with the goal of helping the industry switch to more sustainable bait use. They are pursuing the use of recorded acoustic lobster sounds to modify the behaviour of lobsters to attract them into lobster traps. Ultimately, they plan on a producing an acoustic bait device, consisting of a waterproof casing and transmitter equipped with a power source and digital playback circuitry in order to project recordings underwater while mounted on the inside of a lobster trap. The research proposed here uses submersible tripods equipped with cameras and hydrophones to simultaneously record video and sounds lobsters make while foraging in their natural habitat. By comparing sound recordings to lobster numbers and behavioural frequencies, we can begin to understand the behavioural context for different sounds produced by lobsters. From here, ABT will be better able to select sounds that may be attractive to lobsters for testing in their devices.

Preparing Accounting Students for CPA Hiring Season

CPA has noticed current issues in the recruitment process of accounting students from Post-Secondary Institutions (PSI). Because accounting firms and industry rely on PSI for most of their new employees, CPA decided that they want to design and implement new programs to help better prepare students for their future accounting career. Through this internship, we will look at previously used systems and programs through focus groups, as well as gain new ideas through surveys. Focus groups will allow us to gain insight from the attendees of our TRU Accounting Night event, such as students, accounting firms and industry. After the event, all attendees will be given a survey to provide feedback on ways to improve the accounting recruitment process. We will then take our findings and create a report that will be shared and presented with CPABC and ACE-WIL BC/Yukon.

Indirect quantum interactions on a quantum computer.

One of the main issues with many quantum computing platforms is that not all quantum bits (qubits) can interact directly. This results in an overhead in the number of operations required to run an algorithm and ultimately in longer run times that can become prohibitive. Entangled Networks is currently developing hardware and software solutions to elevate this problem by using alternative methods to mediate interactions. The aims of this project is to develop code that can be used to benchmark these algorithms. The results will help in deciding which directions are worth implementing in the short term and are expected to lead to further collaborations between U. Sherbrooke and Entangled Networks.

Refining a women’s heart health promotion program by engaging patients as active partners

Women with elevated cardiovascular disease risk can improve their health by participating in interventions that encourage health promoting behaviours, such as physical activity. However, although a person may know that they will benefit from participating in a health promotion program, there are many reasons why people do not adopt healthier lifestyles. Patients with lived experience have specific knowledge of the barriers and facilitators that limited or supported their failure or success completing health promotion programming. Therefore, this project will utilize patient-oriented research approaches to engage women with personal experience living with elevated cardiovascular disease risk for the purpose of refining the HerHeart Women’s Heart Health program delivery approach so it is more strongly aligned with how they want it to be delivered. Engagement activities will be done through consultation and also through their involvement as patient advisory committee members over a 36-month period. The Reh-Fit Centre will benefit from this project by gaining patient-perspectives to refine their program delivery model, enhance the reach of the program into diverse communities and to inform the design of a novel mobile health technology application (app) to support program scalability and delivery.

Development of a High Throughput Software Pipeline For Microfluidic Image Analysis

The proposed project will have the intern contributing to software development on three core projects: Development of an autofocus system that can be integrated with mechanical control of the microscope objective/stage, improving the image processing pipeline through refinements to database integration and UI/UX, and improvements to experiment flow/reporting by integrating report templates into the reporting process and providing intermediate result access to staff through visualizations in the internal company portal. Completing these projects will provide several benefits. Integrating autofocus will improve data collection for lab staff and require less manual adjustment or rejection of out-of-focus frames during an experiment. Improvements to the image processing will provide faster, more accurate, and more automated image processing to reduce manual effort while increasing experiment throughput. Improving our reporting products will also reduce manual effort by staff while standardizing reporting materials for clients across the organization. Finally, improvements to the internal portal will provide better guidance for lab staff as a project is conducted.
