Oi Marketing Inc – Digital Marketing Internship

At Oi Marketing, we’re more than just a digital marketing agency – we’re dedicated partners in our clients’ success stories. With over 5 years of experience, we’ve honed our craft and remain committed to providing top-notch service and complete transparency. However, scaling our services to meet the needs of our diverse clientele has been a challenge. That’s why we’re interested in an internship project focused on streamlining processes and finding efficiencies. The interns will assist in various tasks crucial for client success, from creating engaging blog content to transitioning websites to Google Analytics 4. With their support, we aim to enhance our online presence, foster collaboration in client meetings, and stay ahead of the curve with the latest trends – all while making a difference in the lives of Canadians and local charities through initiatives like Google Ad Grants.

Urètre reconstruit par génie tissulaire

Le Laboratoire d’Organogénèse Expérimentale (LOEX) a développé une technique alternative unique et innovante appelée auto-assemblage. Sur la base de cette technique éprouvée, notre équipe a développé une gamme de tissus génito-urinaires (vessie, uretère et urètre et vagin) présentant une organisation histologique très similaire au tissu natif et une très bonne résistance mécanique. Des tissus urétraux ont donc été reconstruits, caractérisés et greffés in situ chez le lapin. Le modèle reste néanmoins à optimiser pour faciliter sa translation clinique.

L’équipe du Dre Fossum à Copenhague est experte dans l’utilisation de cellules souches urothéliales isolée à partir de l’urine, et travaille sur une méthode alternative pour accélérer la production d’un tissu urétral avec du collagène comprimé.

Nos tissus offrent une meilleure différenciation, mais leur modèle est produit plus rapidement. Elissa ira donc apprendre ces techniques et pourra également utiliser nos tissus reconstruits et tester la faisabilité de ré-extraire les cellules afin de les insérer dans le modèle de leur équipe.

Cette collaboration naissante permettra certainement des avancés significatifs dans les prochaines années puisque les équipes œuvrant dans ce domaine se font de plus en plus rares.

Développement d’une approche de conservation systématique pour les milieux humides nordiques intégrant les services écologiques

Avec l’accroissement de la population mondiale, les territoires nordiques constituent un potentiel croissant de développement pour l’accès aux ressources naturelles. L’augmentation imminente des perturbations dans ces territoires risque d’entrainer un déclin de la provision des services écologiques, soit les bénéfices que les êtres humains obtiennent des écosystèmes. L’objectif de cette recherche est de caractériser l’impact qu’auront les perturbations industrielles sur la provision des services écologiques. Plus spécifiquement, le projet permettra de déterminer à quelle moment (avant, pendant ou après) serait-il préférable de planifier la conservation des services écologiques. Nous simulerons plusieurs scénarios de développement dans la région de la Minganie (Côte-Nord, Québec), puis en fonction de chacun de ces scénarios nous réaliserons des réseaux de conservation pour protéger une provision durable de dix services écologiques. L’analyse des données nous permettra notamment d’identifier le seuil de perturbation minimale qui pourrait être réalisé sur le territoire avant d’entrainer des pertes irréversibles quant au succès de la conservation des services écologiques.

Prevention of cancer induced muscle wasting by polyunsaturated fatty acids

People suffering from cancer often experience loss of muscle which negatively impacts the response to cancer treatments and shortens survival. Several factors are at play to promote muscle loss. We are proposing a more relevant model to study muscle wasting that occurs during cancer treatment by utilizing skeletal muscle biopsy from patients undergoing surgery for cancer. The cells from the muscle sample are cultured in the lab and how they respond to different stimuli will be assessed. For each patients providing muscle, their muscle mass and change in muscle over time is known to allow us to match the behaviour of the muscle cells in the lab to whether the person is gaining or losing muscle mass. We believe it is more relevant to study muscle from humans who have the condition of interest to ensure translatability of findings.

Uniting perspectives for a holistic assessment of Nature’s Contributions to Life within the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere

As a response to the rapidly increased crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, this research aims to conduct a holistic evaluation of nature’s contributions to life (NCL) within the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere (NEB). By recognizing the limitations and narrow scope of ecosystem services assessments, this research proposes using a Two-Eyed seeing perspective to comprehensively investigate the current and future status of seven targeted NCL categories. These are 1) habitat creation and maintenance, 2) regulation of climate, 3) regulation of freshwater and coastal water (quality, quantity, location and timing), 4) food and feed, 5) supporting identities, 6) learning and inspiration and 7) maintenance of options across the NEB. By ethically engaging both Indigenous and non-indigenous communities, this research seeks to outline the
community-centered understandings and valuations attached to nature’s gifts, outside of monetary valuation. The project also aims to guide future collaborative Two-Eyed conservation management and monitoring practices for Plenty Canada, Brock University and NEB.

Generating predictive models from advertisements

We want to analyze the data collected about customers in order to better understand their behavior. Such an analysis could reveal which advertisements are more likely to interest the customers, what is the return on investment of an advertisement and what are the advertisements tactics that are the most successful. The advances in machine learning, in statistics, and in computer science allows to extract his knowledge from large data bases often called: big data.
