Student Placement Project: Mobile Solution

Preferred Health Care Services is implementing a Blackberry scheduling and
documenting system to replace the traditional telephony system. The new technology is
envisioned to improve personal support workers and nurse managers’ business processes.
The study examines the changes in key performance indicators including the number of
missed visits, unarranged visits, duplicated (double booked) visits, data accuracy, and the
employee’s satisfaction level. From the broader perspective, the study will conduct a costbenefit
analysis and to prove/reject the recent trend of mobile technology deployment home
care sector. The study will also briefly touch upon the change management aspect since it is
extremely difficult and especially challenging for home care organizations due to many
reasons including: difficult communication due to geographically scattered frontline
practitioners, wide range of services, and larger proportion of older frontline practitioners. The
change management is the key to the successful implementation of new technological
solutions and the study will outline how the blackberry solution is to be deployed and
implemented.

Advanced Oxidation Process in Fresh Produce Processing: Reducing water usage, extending shelf-life and enhancing food safety

Fresh produce remains the leading cause of foodborne illness and highlighted for carrying pesticide residues. Moreover, fruit and vegetables have been highlighted as one of the leading sources of food waste, in addition to a major user of water. Currently, post-harvest washing is used as a step to remove field acquired contamination. However, both microbes and pesticides are not inactivated by washing but more distributed between batches. In addition, washed produce spoilers quicker than unwashed and the amount of water used in the process can be in the order of 4 liters per kg of product. The proposed project will overcome all these issues by developing a process that harnesses the oxidative power of chloride radicals (through a process termed Advanced Oxidation Process; AOP) to inactivate microbes and degrade pesticides while using minimal amounts of water. In a further process, the oxidative power from AOP will be applied to degrade pesticides and chlorine-consuming constituents in water. This is primary to make the washing process more effective and reduce the water usage by negating the need to keep replenishing wash tanks. Collectively both technologies will enhance the food safety of fresh produce and extend shelf-life.

Back to Basics: A Sustainable Response to COVID-19

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments and communities revisit the conceptions of sustainability and resilience. While many of the businesses in the retail, food services, and tourism and hospitality sectors experienced a drastic drop in sales during the COVID-19 pandemic, online shopping and delivery sectors are dealing with a dramatic increase in sales and orders. Demand of local and sustainable goods are increasing as the disruption of the supply chain has impacted the accessibility and affordability of goods. In this Mitacs Accelerate internship, the UBC research team will partner with the Okanagan Lifestyle, a local business in Kelowna, examine the marketing benefits of the sustainable goods as well as to review marketing traction and interest in sustainable goods during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Éthique, Santé et Bien-être au travail chez les professionnels de la santé en temps de pandémie de la COVID-19

La recherche du domaine de la santé au travail démontre clairement que le stress est associé à différents troubles de santé et/ou de maladies. Dans le but de préserver la santé au travail de ses travailleurs(ses), les organisations doivent veiller à ce qu’il y ait un équilibre entre les demandes en milieu de travail (facteurs de risque) et les ressources (facteurs de protection).
Notre équipe de recherche a été mandatée par cinq (5) ordres professionnels afin de mener cette enquête qui vise à établir un portrait des facteurs de risques et de protection organisationnels qui nuisent et contribuent à la santé et au bien-être au travail des professionnel-les de la santé exerçant dans le réseau public. Les résultats obtenus, à l’aide d’un questionnaire, alimenteront la réflexion et les efforts visant à améliorer le contexte de réalisation du travail au sein de votre établissement.

Ultraviolet inactivation of Covid-19

Many major municipalities rely on ultraviolet (UV) disinfection of their drinking water and wastewater to protect their citizens and the environment. The novel coronavirus, Covid19, has been detected in water, and may be transmitted by improperly treated wastewater and drinking water. It is important that the sensitivity of Covid19 to UV be measured, in order to ensure adequate UV disinfection. This project will develop methods to accurately assess the UV sensitivity of coronaviruses, and measure the UV sensitivity of coronaviruses in water. These data will allow non-pathogenic coronaviruses to be used as safe surrogates for assessing UV systems. The methods will be transferred to third-party labs that will use them to evaluate pathogenic Covid19 virus.

Cellular inflammatory and anti-viral effects of BOLD-100, a novel therapeutic agent in development for COVID-19

Bold-100 is a promising new drug that has been studied as a treatment for cancer. Because of the way it works in cells, there is reason to believe that it may also help protect against infections with viruses like SARS-CoV2 (the cause of COVID-19). The purpose of this project is to study the effects of Bold-100 on cells derived from the human intestine, which are susceptible to SARS-CoV2 infection, to help determine the way the drug effects normal cellular functions and their response to viral infections. The results will help to define the potential of Bold-100 as an antiviral drug, as well as its potential uses for other diseases, including intestinal cancers and inflammatory bowel disease.

Predicting demand and inventory shortages for better inventory management in health care institutions

This project aims to predict demand and inventory shortages for better inventory management in health care institutions. This will initially allow for a reduction in the expenses generated by emergency orders placed during a stock shortage. Indeed, it will be possible for the establishment to order a larger quantity of the product from the supplier or to place an order with another supplier. In a second step, placing orders at the right time based on demand forecasting will reduce out-of-stock situations but also optimize the minimum and maximum quantities in inventory.
Better inventory management through greater proactivity indirectly provides peace of mind for the staff and therefore for the patient being cared for.

Optimisation de la localisation et de la répartition des dons : le cas des Banques Alimentaires du Québec

Les Banques alimentaires du Québec (BAQ) veillent au partage équitable et s’assure de mettre en commun des ressources, de l’expertise et des informations afin de répondre de façon plus efficace aux Québécois en situation de pauvreté; elles sont un acteur incontournable et reconnu comme chef de file en matière d’aide alimentaire au Québec. Ce projet vise à développer un système qui recommande des solutions aux gestionnaires en ce qui concerne deux décisions logistiques : la localisation de l’entreposage des dons de denrées et la répartition des dons entre les organismes partenaires. Ce projet permettra donc d’augmenter la résilience de la chaîne logistique des BAQ et d’optimiser la distribution des dons de denrées alimentaires dans le réseau des BAQ.

Detection of missing words

The software Antidote (www.antidote.info) is capable of correcting English and French corpuses. It detects thousands of types of errors. We want to add new types of correction using modules based on deep learning. The detection of missing words is a type of correction that we want to address in this internship. Here is an example of a sentence where Antidote displays a break (analysis problem), but which a deep learning model could correct:
If the project performs well, the intern will be able to try an integration of his model in our Antidote software.

A rapid detection test (RDT) to determine surface contamination by the SARS-CoV2 virus

The residual bacterial and viral contamination that remains on surfaces after cleaning in healthcare and palliative care settings is particularly lethal during a pandemic. Due to inevitable overcrowding and long shift hours, slipups occur. A technique to monitor surface cleanliness, and particularly to detect the presence of SARS-CoV2, is required to ascertain contamination and, if necessary, refine cleaning processes. We will develop a swab-based rapid detection test (RDT) kit to determine the presence of the SARS- CoV2 virus on surfaces. The RDT is based on a proven particle plasmon resonance sensing method using gold nanoparticles commercialized by our industry partner Genemis Labs. During our research, we will modify this sensing technique and make it specific to SARSCoV2 virus using antibodies specific to its viral surface proteins. Gold nanoparticles will be functionalized with antibodies and stabilized in a colloidal suspension that, along with a single-use sample processing apparatus and a portable colorimeter, will be used to detect colour changes that quantify relative surface viral load. The RDT will provide a quick method to monitor the presence of SARS- CoV2 and verify a surface cleaning procedure, thereby
diminishing infection spread and standardizing best practices across facilities.

Development of an integrated online enzymatic micro-fluidic chip for glycoprotein analysisusing Chip-Cub QToF mass spectrometry

Glycoprotein analysis is very important in different field such as cancer and pharmaceutical research,
as ‘more than 70% of the proteins are glycosylated. However, the sample preparation of glycoprotein
for glycan profiling is very tedious as includes many enzymatic steps that could go for -36 hrs. This
project aims to develop a one chip reactor that can be used to prepare the glycoprotein(s) for mass
spectrometry analysis. This reactor includes online multi-enzymatic steps to eventually have the
glycans that are expressed on the glycoprotein, characterized and relatively quantified using mass
spectrometry. This chip can only be used on Agilent chip-cub that combined with Agilent QToF mass
spectrometry, which will lead to develop their Immunoglobulin commercial kit to be general for any Nglycoproteins.
