BSI Project Key Auto Group: Student Olivia Sekulic

The main focus of the internship project will be working within Key Auto’s Marketing Department, specifically
developing marketing strategies (primarily through social media, online and digital avenues) that take into
consideration the change in consumer habits due to COVID-19. In the past, Key Auto’s business has primarily
been conducted through face to face interaction, however, with the recent changes in how business is conducted, our main concern is keeping up with new consumer trends. The final deliverable of this research project will be an optimized social media and marketing strategy that will give clear recommendations and desired outcomes that both senior management and front-line staff will understand.

Taking the Problem Oriented Medical Record Forward: The Aurora Design, Constellations, Intervention and Planning Approach

Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) is becoming a leading approach to improving patient and health system outcomes around the world. This research is to develop a new problem oriented record for the VBHC where it can analyze the Patient Progression which is the hospitalized patient journey through the required care events, actions and processes to achieve a health status where the patient can be safely and appropriately transitioned to a lower level of care. Patient progression is directed by the physician orders according to hospital policies and procedures. It will be built on the success of the previous version of the system which called Aurora POMR. The enhanced POMR will have advance smart and recommendation services as well as metrics to measure the patient progression outcome.

Analyse comparative de discours écologiques sur les réseaux sociaux

L’objectif de la recherche est d’effectuer une analyse comparée de deux dirigeants politiques du monde francophone occidental, dans leur communication sur leur pages et profils de réseaux sociaux respectifs, Facebook et Instagram. Le but étant d’examiner les représentations sociales qu’ils diffusent au sujet de l’environnement, ainsi que les stratégies rhétoriques (mots, expression, ethos, pathos) sur lesquelles ils s’appuient dans leur communication écologique. Notre étude porte particulièrement sur l’année 2019. Seront étudiés : les stratégies d’ethos et de pathos, les éléments polysémiotiques mis en oeuvre, les représentations socio-discursives de l’environnement, dans une perspective écocritique.

Effects of cannabinoids on ACE2-rich cells

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV2 coronavirus. This virus which infect cells that are vital in human organs leading to multiple diseases in need of timely medical treatment. There is a great need in search of inhibitors to block such viral infections as a means for disease prevention and/or treatment. Cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), and high-CBD producing plant species of the Cannabis genus will be tested for the inhibition effects.

Easy Care At Home- ECAH: Health-Tech Innovation: EasyCare, Anytime, Anywhere

The vision of ECAH (Easy Care at Home) is to become a one stop shop for all healthcare, wellness and fitness solutions delivered anytime, anywhere. The ECAH App was launched with a mission to simplify the care and wellness process in the Health-Tech space in Canada. Given that ECAH is looking to penetrate the market and to expand its operations, I will be assisting with project strategy and implementation, digital operations management and product marketing. I will be responsible for making the ECAH app accessible to more care providers and care recipients in the GTA region and beyond. Over time, I will also research into additional virtual healthcare services and delivery models and focus on expanding our brand across to the whole of Ontario and Canada and then to the southern territories of USA. Specifically, the internship will aim at achieving the following milestones:
1. Enhancing the quality of healthcare and home care in Canada while reducing their cost of delivery.
2. Capturing “Voice of the Customer” and working with technology team to improve experience.

Development of Technologies to Extract and Stabilize DNA from a Broad Spectrum of Microorganisms

We propose to continue with our novel approach to high-efficiency nucleic acids extraction from bacteria. Once complete, DNA Genotek Kits are expected to: be relatively simple to use; be applicable to high-throughput environments; release DNA efficiently from a variety of microorganisms; stabilize the profile of the sample species by (i) stabilizing the released DNA at room temperature for extended periods of time and (ii) preventing overgrowth of microorganisms in collected samples. To assess the efficiency of Kits to extract and stabilize microbial DNA, they will be tested using pure bacteria as well as biological samples containing microorganisms. The ability of the kits to prevent growth/effectively kill bacteria will be tested. The metagenomic DNA of gut microbiota will be analyzed. When Kit development is complete, it is expected to be valuable both for basic researchers and for analyzing clinical samples. The_combination of the Kit (DNA_Genotek)_and the improved_Illumina_sequencing_protocol (University-of-Ottawa) promises_to_improve_the_understanding_of_the_relationship_between_the_microbiota_and_its_effect_on_human_health_and_well-being.

Business strategy internship

VoltSafe Inc. is located in Vancouver, BC, Canada and produces magnetic plugs for vehicles and homes. VoltSafe’s patented technology is the first outlet to be created to enable outlets worldwide to be safe, sustainable and smart while allowing for an easy and secure electric connection. VoltSafe’s technology is a smart outlet with its electrical contacts always exposed and de-energized. When the plug sides magnetically connect together, it actuates the flow of electricity. When the two parts pull apart, electricity flow immediately stops. VoltSafe’s patented technology acts like a ‘gate-keeper’ and never allows electricity to flow unless all contacts on the respective plugs are touching simultaneously (VoltSafe LinkedIn). VoltSafe’s design is revolutionizing the way the world connects to electricity (VoltSafe.com).
After 6+ years of research and development, the innovative technology behind the world’s first prong-less electrical plug is now Safety Certified and ready for market. VoltSafe entered the commercialization phase of its technology in June 2020. The company aims to build out the required systems in marketing and customer success for B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customer).
The objectives of this project are to support the business team with B2B support, prospecting, and sales-related efforts.

CityFlats Development Internship

The project I am undertaking will consist of researching, marketing, and implementing a virtual leasing platform for a student housing project in Kingston, ON. The onset of COVID-19 has radically changed the student housing industry, and CityFlats Investments will require a rapid retooling in order to remain competitive in a dynamic marketplace. I will be using social media marketing, marketing analytic tools, virtual reality tours, and many other potential technologies in order to increase the attractiveness of the offering. I will be also responsible for determining rental rates based upon the market and demand at the time.

Métrique de performance pour détection d’anomalie automatisée dans les groupes turbine-alternateur

Le projet de recherche consiste à développer une méthodologie pour identifier les métriques adéquates permettant de comparer les performances de différentes approches de détection d’anomalie en fonction d’un contexte donné et d’en implémenter une preuve de concept adaptée au problème de surveillance des groupes turbine-alternateur chez Hydro-Québec.
Lorsque les données pour définir explicitement des classes de comportements anormaux sont insuffisantes et que la quantité de données correspondant à un comportement normal est grande, il devient préférable de modéliser des classes de comportements normaux. La détection d’anomalie correspond à identifier les données qui diffèrent du comportement normal.

Sustainable Agri-food Research Initiative

Interns will work with beef and crop producers to collect farm-level production data and provide basic training on the Cool Farm Tool sustainability calculator. The collected data will be used to calculate the farm’s relative sustainability metrics, such as greenhouse gas emissions and water usage.
The partner organizations (TrustBIX and Viresco) will benefit from the work conducted by the interns by using the research outcomes to:
• Identify common data gaps in the industry.
• Develop benchmarks for beef and crop production in the province, based on location, stage of production, size, operation type (grass-fed, organic, conventional).
• Train the next generation of producers and sector-experts in the merits and practicalities of data collection, sustainability, and corporate supply chain sustainability initiatives.
• Create sustainability metrics and protocols for the Canadian environment.
• Develop beneficial management practice scenarios and reanalysis of data to assess management impacts.
The abovementioned benefits will help Viresco and TrustBIX meet the deadlines of a larger, 5-year project called the ‘Sustainable Agri-Food Traceability (SAFT) Initiative’, that the two companies have undertaken with Lakeland College and FarmLead (SAFT grant application attached; Appendix 2). Upon commercialization of the SAFT platform, both organizations are positioned to benefit financially (disclosed in grant application).

APEX Total Compensation Study

The APEX (Association of Professional Executives of the Public Sector of Canada) total compensation study seeks to provide a current assessment of executive compensation philosophies and governance within the public service sector in Canada. Issues related to limited differences in compensation between senior level managers and less experienced managers will be explored including the various compensation policies in place within federal, provincial, and municipal public sector organizations. A benchmarking of current practices will be undertaken using existing information contained within APEX’s database and additional information gathered through a survey and interviews. An analysis of the data gathered will result in a summary report and related recommendations.
