Développement d’outils et d’indicateurs pour soutenir l’élaboration du plan d’action collectif en matière de violence conjugale et de violence dans les relations amoureuses des jeunes à Montréal-Nord

Suite à un portrait de la violence conjugale (VC) et de la violence dans les relations amoureuses (VRA) chez les jeunes publié en 2019 qui illustre l’ampleur de ces problématiques sur son territoire, la Table paix et sécurité urbaines présidée par l’arrondissement de Montréal-Nord, la Table femmes Osez au féminin, la Table de quartier Montréal-Nord entendent développer un plan d’action collectif en cette matière. Il s’agit d’un projet qui devra nécessairement être intersectoriel (justice, municipal, santé, milieux associatifs et communautaire, etc.). Le comité de pilotage du plan d’action, le centre InterActions, REGARDS et ÉRASME envisagent documenter et analyser le processus collaboratif de l’élaboration et mise en œuvre de ce plan et ainsi contribuer à l’avancement des connaissances sur l’action en réseau pour résoudre des problèmes sociaux complexes. La stagiaire postdoctorale sera impliquée dans un projet de recherche portant sur cette démarche d’action collective à Montréal-Nord et son mandat sera de contribuer à soutenir la table par l’identification d’indicateurs de résultats et l’élaboration d’outils de monitoring et par une contribution à l’analyse des processus collaboratifs.

Aptamer and aptazyme-based multiplexed luminex assay

Aptamers are sequences of DNA or RNA allowing a specific binding of a certain molecule. The use of aptamers instead of antibodies in different applications makes it less time consuming and cost-effective because of the easy production of nucleic acids and their rapid binding to their target. In this project, we suggest using color-coded magnetic beads functionalized with aptamers to bind specific proteins that are usually present in cancer cells. The binding of the proteins will generate fluorescence emission allowing then their detection. Besides this fluorescence, the detection of the beads color permit to determine which proteins is present on the beads surface This application is usually done using two antibodies one the protein binding and a second for fluorescence emission and it is called luminex based immunoassays. This technique is a high throughput method allowing the detection of up to 100 molecules in the same solution. By using aptamers we are aiming to make ‘aptamer-based luminex assays’ that are cheaper and faster.

La réalité virtuelle immersive & la transmission du sensible en architecture

La réalité virtuelle immersive a pris ces dix dernières années une place grandissante dans la boîte à outils des architectes et écoles d’architecture. La recherche portant sur la nature de l’expérience virtuelle au plan perceptif n’en est cependant qu’à ses débuts. Ce projet mené dans le cadre d’un partenariat avec la SAT, acteur de premier plan en matière de technologie virtuelle immersive, interroge spécifiquement la façon dont la pédagogie architecturale s’approprie ces outils à des fins de transmission du sensible. Il consiste en une recension des écrits visant à mettre en lumière les technologies utilisées, les objectifs pédagogiques poursuivis, les paramètres perceptifs manipulés, et dans un deuxième temps, en une analyse d’écarts comparant les résultats de la recension aux outils de la SAT. Le projet permettra au partenaire d’informer ses différents services de la pertinence de la recherche, de communiquer les résultats à la communauté de recherche et de développer à terme de nouveaux partenariats.

Hospital Optimizer: Un outil d’ordonnancement des opérations en milieu hospitalier

Thales développe le Refit Optimizer, un outil de planification et d’ordonnancement. Cet outil de gestion de projets, semblable à Project de Microsoft ou Primavera d’Oracle, se démarque par ses algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle capables de proposer à l’utilisateur un ordonnancement optimal selon divers critères. Jusqu’à présent, l’outil a été utilisé pour planifier les opérations de rénovation de navires. Dans ce projet, il sera adapté à l’ordonnancement en milieu hospitalier pour devenir le Hospital Optimizer. Ce logiciel pourra ordonnancer les opérations en bloc opératoire selon les priorités des patients, former les équipes médicales et distribuer la charge de travail équitablement entre les différents membres du personnel.

Digital interventions to improve social connectedness and mental wellbeing of vulnerable older adults during COVID-19 and beyond

This project aims to 1) identify and understand the unique social and psychological burdens that vulnerable older adults face during the pandemic, 2) explore and identify successful and unsuccessful digital interventions that has been done at the West End Seniors Network (WESN) to help raise social connectedness, and 3) develop strategies and design future interventions to improve the mental wellbeing of the diverse senior population in Vancouver. The intern will conduct semi-structured interviews and focus groups with seniors in the community in order to accomplish the project goals. WESN and other senior centers across Canada will be able to use the data gathered in this project to guide future programs and direct funds to important existing programs. The collaboration between the intern’s academic institution and WESN on this project will also build a foundation for future collaborative research, expanding the knowledge on the mental health of seniors in Canada.

LED Street Lamp Retrofit Project

The City of Hamilton has developed some basic costing and implementation models for a) the replacement (retrofitting) of existing street lighting with LED street lighting and b) incorporate LED street lighting in new construction. These models were created in conjunction with the LED technical evaluations and it was identified that there is justification and a need for a comprehensive business model – specifically for retrofitting existing street lighting. The intent of this project is to develop a new process for implementing LED street lighting to replace the existing High Power Sodium (HPS) lights throughout the city. The project also includes the creation of a business model that would assist in guiding the City of Hamilton in making future decisions related to the further adoption of LED street lighting.

Financial Analysis Intern

The project will include a capital investment analysis for new equipment and production cost analysis for in-house products and resale products. The capital investment analysis includes a return on investment analysis for various new pieces of packaging, injection, and smokehouse equipment while considering equipment, labour, and maintenance costs. The analysis will examine the profitability of new equipment, leading to an investment decision that may impact labour allocation in the production processes. The production cost analysis includes the development of standard production costs for the Old Port product line, the review of pricing and margins for the Old Port product line, and an analysis of pricing and gross margins of resale products. The product pricing analysis will identify optimum selling points that increase revenue while maintaining consumer demand. It may also identify opportunities to increase specific product volumes and products that should be dropped entirely.

Code F. (stage 1) FSA UL

Dans un contexte de pandémie causée par la Covid-19, l’entreprise Code F. se doit d’opérer un pivot de son modèle d’affaires afin d’adapter ses solutions aux besoins de la clientèle et de sa communauté.
Pour cela, nous allons créer 2 structures: une OBNL (Code F. Santé financière pour tous) et une Fintech (Code F. Technologies financière) pour mieux réorganiser et relancer nos activités. L’objet de ce stage est de nous aider à bien positionner ces 2 structures dans leurs marchés respectifs et l’une par rapport à l’autre. Pour ce faire, il faudra retravailler le modèle d’affaires de Code F. et sa stratégie d’entreprise.
Ce pivot de modèle d’affaires se traduisant par un changement de la structure organisationnelle et par un virage technologique et numérique, l’étudiante devra réaliser une analyse stratégique afin d’aider l’organisation à adapter ses activités et solutions dans le contexte actuel de pandémie, de même que pour le futur.

BSI Internship Application with Trust Science

The most important and immediate need for the marketing function is to gain “thought leadership” for Trust science as a company, its credit bureau 2.0 ® Fintech SaaS, and for its Founder CEO, Evan Chrapko, as a leader in the industry. After Evan was named as a “Leader in Lending” by the Canadian Lenders’ Association in Toronto 12 months ago and the company was graced by an industry-specific trade magazine as one of the “Smartest Companies to Watch” in the sector, we believe that there is a strong need to promote Trust Science’s capabilities to Executives who are in charge of lending & risk-mitigation at financial institutions. Additionally, the project will focus on locating and bringing in Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL) that the sales organization can then determine to be Sales Qualified Leads (SQL). Establishing “Thought Leadership” can assist with these needs, but so can activities like Account Based Marketing (ABM) and various electronic/virtual outreach avenues (given that physical trade shows are not currently possible). Taken together, the above prime directives for marketing will rapidly attract prospective customers to engage with Trust Science and aid in shortening any resulting sales cycle.
