Understanding collaborative community-based mental health services for adults 50 and over in the South Okanagan through an environmental scan and social network analysis

Mental health is an important health issue. Adults 50 and over with a mental health concern, particularly in rural communities have unique challenges. In the South Okanagan, research found there was a lack of community services/supports available and organizations offering these services and supports did not work well together. The aim of this study is to identify current services/supports for adults 50 and over with a mental health concern in the South Okanagan and to understand how organizations offering these services/supports work together. Through interviews and focus groups we will develop a comprehensive list of services/supports available for our target population. We will also determine the linkages and the strength between organizations through a specialized technique referred to as social network analysis. Our partner will receive a listing of services/supports available in the South Okanagan and have opportunities to network with community organization representatives.

Analyse bio-technicoéconomique des opérations de grossissement terrestre du flétan de l’Atlantique au Québec

Le projet présenté s’inscrit dans une stratégie de développement de l’industrie piscicole marine québécoise, visant l’élaboration d’un modèle bioéconomique de grossissement de flétan de l’Atlantique, permettant d’évaluer la rentabilité d’entreprises potentielles. Une approche d’analyse financière de projet couplée aux enjeux d’ingénierie et de gestion biotechnique liés au développement de l’industrie sera utilisée pour réaliser la modélisation. Le modèle résultant portera sur une étude de cas d’un site potentiel aux îles-de-la-Madeleine, mais sera toutefois transférable et adaptable à toute entreprise cherchant à se lancer dans l’industrie de l’élevage de poissons marins. D’une part, le partenaire LA Trading Co. Inc. vise à sécuriser un approvisionnement en flétan de l’Atlantique, dont les produits ont une valeur marchande très élevée, par l’établissement de fermes piscicoles suite aux résultats de ce projet. D’autre part, l’organisme Merinov poursuit son mandat d’aide au développement durable de l’industrie aquacole québécoise en supportant la réalisation de ce projet.

Caractérisation des communautés de joueurs pour le jeu vidéo For Honor

Les phases alpha sont des étapes importantes avant le lancement d’un jeu vidéo. Durant ces périodes, une version alpha du jeu peut être jouée par un nombre significatif de joueurs permettant d’évaluer tous ses mécanismes. L’analyse de l’activité sur les forums et les réseaux sociaux et la connaissance des sujets qui animent la communauté naissante constituent des éléments clefs pour l’amélioration et l’opération en temps réel du jeu.
Le premier objectif de ce projet est d’abord de caractériser la communauté naissante du jeu vidéo For Honor d’Ubisoft à travers l’analyse des forums et des données de tracking ingame. Le second objectif est de définir les leviers d’action possibles ou souhaitables sur la communauté pour la rendre plus dynamique.
L’expertise de l’UQAM (analyse sémiologique, analyse de forums, connaissance de plusieurs communautés de joueurs de jeux célèbres) associées aux connaissances informatiques et statistiques du Lab UR d’Ubisoft (game tracking, text mining) permettront une connaissance approfondie des facteurs importants qui vont animer la communauté naissante de For Honnor.

Fast predictive design of preforms, patterns, darts and ply book for non-structural aerospace composites

The project deals with the production of non-structural composite interior coverings for aircraft and other vehicles. Producing such interior coverings in Canada requires very good mastery of manufacturing processes in order to contain costs. Target times for preform preparation are of the order of minutes and manufacturing processes remain largely manual. Competition from emerging countries requires better knowledge applied to workmanship in preforming in Canada, and a very fast design process when to support tendering. The aim of the project is to create a decisional tool providing fast support to the preform design process. The most fundamental characteristic and novelty of the approach underpinning the decisional tool is that it displaces most design-related work prior to the time when a new part geometry becomes accessible and a submission must be delivered.

Development of an Equity Risk Score System and Interest Rate Shock Modelling for Value-at-Risk Computation

The objective of this research is twofold: to improve existing risk management framework to assess interest rate shocks, and to develop a new risk factor model to create an equity risk score system to help guide investment decisions.
The first part of this research project involves the development of an equity risk score system to better evaluate the quality of an investment. The system will provide a standardized score to measure if the level of risk of an investment is acceptable, which is intended to aid a financial analyst in the ensuing investment recommendation
The second objective is to improve upon industry practice and create a framework to model interest rate shocks. The main driver is to improve the calibration of interest rate movements, where small absolute fluctuations in a low interest rate environment result in very large relative fluctuations, and vice versa.

Construction of Sustainable Corporate–Community Relations and Social Acceptance of Major Projects

The rise of local corporate–community conflicts surrounding development projects represents a trend rather than exceptional events, highlighting corporate–community relations as a prominent strategic issue. Despite the emergence of these issues for businesses, civil society, and governments, we still have a limited understanding of the conditions necessary for building and maintaining good relations over a long period of time and at all stages of a project’s life cycle. Moreover, little is known about how to implement successful corporate–community relations, especially in environmentally-sensitive industries (e.g. mining, forestry, energy, etc.). As an interface for managing daily relations between Hydro-Québec and the Cree First Nation to alleviate the impacts of hydroelectric development in Eeyou Istchee, the Niskamoon Corporation provides an efficient framework for cooperation between the Cree people and Hydro-Québec, enabling the implementation of the Cree/Hydro-Québec Agreements. This research project aims to validate this model and to examine in greater detail its relationship with the social license to operate five years after the signature of the agreement.

Caractérisation de l’écoulement dans le rotor d’une maquette d’alternateur

Compte tenu de l’accroissement du besoin énergétique auquel le monde devra faire face dans les prochaines décennies, l’industrie de l’énergie tend sans cesse à améliorer le rendement et la fiabilité de ses équipements. Une des avenues envisagées est d’augmenter la puissance des alternateurs hydroélectriques existants, repoussant ainsi la construction de nouvelles centrales. Beaucoup de ces alternateurs ont été construits avec des critères de conception conservatrice par rapport à leur système de refroidissement ce qui fait qu’aujourd’hui il est possible d’augmenter leur puissance sans amputer leur durée de vie. Par contre, de telles augmentations de puissance doivent être réalisées à la lumière de résultats scientifique. Ce projet souhaite caractériser expérimentalement le refroidissement d’un rotor d’un modèle réduit d’un hydroalternateur pour valider des méthodes de simulation numérique et pouvoir transposer les résultats pour de véritables alternateurs.

Games as Analogical Scaffolds in Teaching and Learning

Games have, in the last decade, become an important tool for teaching in both the education and business section. The application of games, and game mechanics, in these areas is often called gamification. The aim of this project is to explore how games can be used to create rich, first hand, experiences that can be used by educators to improve learning. This project will result in a short guide for educators interested in using gamification to create games that support learning in this way, as well as a learning module for ITRG that uses a game to create opportunities for teaching participants by reflection on their experience playing the game.

The Future of Mandatory Charging for Intimate Partner Violence: Status quo or alternative direction? Phases II and III

According to the Ontario Domestic Violence Advisory Council (DVAC, 2009), legislative responses to violence against women were introduced across Canada in the 1980s. These policies included provisions for mandatory police-laid charges against perpetrators of domestic violence. The DVAC report noted numerous unintended negative consequences of these policies and recommended an impact study which was never conducted. This 2nd and 3rd phase of a 12 month research project will administer and analyze the results of data gained by surveying abused women, service providers and police regarding the impacts of mandatory charging on abused women and their families. This project provides a first step for police and partners (e.g. Violence Against Women Coordinating Committees across Ontario such as OCTEVAW, Crown Attorneys) in developing more effective responses to domestic violence and reducing associated costs.

Looking at the Physical and Psychosocial Outcomes of an After-School Physical Activity Intervention for Children with Congenital Heart Disease

The research intern will be working with Sportball to offer one of their multi-sport after-school programs to children who are living with serious heart defects. Physical activity has many health benefits for children, and after-school programs are an effective way to increase daily physical activity levels. Children living with heart disease are a vulnerable group who don’t regularly participate in physical activity, putting them at risk of developing chronic diseases later in life. The goal of this research is to look at the impact of the multi-sport after-school physical activity program on the overall fitness and quality of life of children living with heart disease. The internship will give Sportball evidence-based results, increasing the value and credibility of what they have to offer as an organization and who they are as a brand.

Transcoder-aided region of interest streaming over heterogeneous networks for 360-degree video on demand

Virtual reality (VR) is becoming a hot topic and introduces new challenges related to the presentation of the content on mobile devices. For instance, how to display properly large size video frames such as those taken from 360-degree cameras, on a 7-inch mobile display and how to quickly respond to the user’s navigation within current views such as tilting, zooming, or even changing the angle of view of the scene. In this project, we want to conceive transcoder-aided adaptive region of interest streaming solution in which a transcoder (a media processor) extracts and transmits only part of the scene to the mobile, to reduce the bitrate consumption, with the flexibility of controlling the view upon user’s request. In addition, we will work on enhancing our current rate controller and congestion prediction method by adding information about the wireless network conditions to avoid video freeze and provide smooth video playback.
