Comparing Historical and Contemporary Elements of Jasal (Suicide) in South Korea

South Korea has relatively high rates of suicide, making suicide a contemporary social issue that merits study. Korea has a long history of colonial violence, as well as decades of rapid modernization and social change. I believe the concept of suicide, and broader concepts of health for that matter, should be mapped throughout Korea’s unfortunate and ever-changing history to undercover cultural meanings. Understanding how suicide has changed over time in Korea will provide an interesting and useful analysis on the concept itself, as well as finding elements that should be a part of understandings today. My preliminary research will consist of analyzing historical documents from colonial times, mapping suicide through time, while considering how suicide is understood and addressed in Korea today. With the help of the knowledgeable faculty and archives at Yonsei, I expect to be able to effectively map the meanings of suicide in Korea, past and present. I intend for this study to contribute ideas to more effective suicide prevention efforts, as well as mental health counselling.

Géochimie de résidus non magnétiques de la mine Lac Tio

À la mine Lac Tio (Québec), exploitée par Rio Tinto Fer et Titane (RTFT), les rejets miniers génèrent parfois du nickel au-delà des seuils permis dans les eaux de drainage. Alors que RTFT prévoit de retraiter des rejets existants pour en extraire leur valeur économique résiduelle, il est nécessaire d’évaluer de quelle manière le nouveau rejet issu du retraitement pourrait libérer du nickel. Pour ce faire, diverses caractérisations géochimiques et minéralogiques seront effectuées. Des essais de prédiction de la qualité de l’eau seront réalisés avec et sans l’ajout d’un produit chimique inhibant la rétention des métaux. Cela permettra de planifier adéquatement la gestion environnementale de ce rejet et de mieux tenir compte de sa capacité à retenir les métaux. Les stagiaires auront l’occasion d’acquérir une expérience de travail en laboratoire enrichissante en plus d’interagir avec des scientifiques de l’industrie et d’en apprendre davantage sur la gestion des rejets miniers.

Ditch Labs Inc.

Ditch Labs est une entreprise de technologie médicale incubée au Centech à Montréal. Fondée en 2019 par deux jeunes entrepreneurs en série, l’entreprise développe un inhalateur de nicotine médical pour aider 1,3 milliards de personnes à se débarrasser de leur dépendance à la nicotine. Fidèle à son plan de développement, Ditch bénéficie actuellement d’un support financier du Centech et d’organismes gouvernementaux et paragouvernementaux. Ainsi, l’entreprise a pu développer un prototype fonctionnel de sa technologie et peut maintenant passer à la prochaine étape de son développement, les tests critiques en laboratoires. L’entreprise travaille actuellement à préparer sa première ronde de financement en capital privé d’ici l’automne 2020 qui permettra en grande partie d’élaborer des tests en laboratoire avec des chercheurs de différentes universités canadiennes. Ditch a donc décidé d’engager un stagiaire pour l’aider dans la préparation et l’exécution de sa stratégie de financement à court terme.

Understanding Stress Signaling in Childhood Cancers: reactive oxidant species (ROS) signaling pathways

The Sorensen laboratory-based Childhood Cancer Research Program is specifically focused on elucidating the genetic and biological determinants of the metastatic process in childhood cancer.
Metastatic disease remains the single most dominant driver of adverse outcome in most childhood cancers, particularly in childhood sarcomas. There are two basic strategies in the program for
studying metastatic disease in childhood cancers. The first is to focus on cell stress signaling. Emerging evidence indicates that adaptation to prototypical forms of cell stress plays a major role in
tumor cell selection and metastasis

Calixa Technologies Inc.

Calixa Technologies est une jeune entreprise montréalaise utilisant l’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer la découvrabilité des produits de mode, de beauté et de style de vie. Magasiner ce type de produits présente souvent de nombreux points de friction, notamment passer de longues heures à faire défiler de nombreux articles pour ne finalement obtenir que des résultats de recherche peu pertinents. À l’aide d’algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique et de vision par ordinateur, Calixa génère des flux d’achat dynamiques, contextuels et personnalisés, favorisant des résultats plus adaptés à chaque acheteur. En réponse à l’impact important de la Covid-19 sur le commerce de détail, Calixa a rapidement lancé sa propre plateforme d’achat axée sur la découverte de marques indépendantes, démocratisant ainsi l’accès à une technologie critique pour le commerce de détail moderne. Pour ce projet, le stagiaire serait appelé à supporter le lancement de la plateforme dans une capacité de gestionnaire de projet. Le candidat serait responsable coordonner avec les commerces participants pour l’intégration de leur inventaire, l’affichage de produits, déterminer les besoins et les priorités des clients, planifier les besoins du projet, travailler en lien étroit avec la gestionnaire marketing, assurer les livrables et le succès des commerces participants.

Stability Testing for Cannabis Products

Understanding the stability profile of a product, whether a consumer packaged good or a pharmaceutical drug product, is key to ensuring the consumer has a safe and effective product. In the pharmaceutical realm, the internationally accepted approach to stability testing is codified within the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Guidance: Q1A(R2) (Stability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products) and Q1B (Stability Testing: Photostability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products). Even within the Canadian Cannabis Regulations with regards to Expiry Dating, there is the requirement to have data to demonstrate that the potency is maintained within the proscribed range of label claim and microbial and chemical contaminant limits remain with release specification requirements.
The results of this research project will enhance future stability protocols and design better formulations and/or container closures, a deeper understanding of degradation pathways and appropriate stability indicating assays would be beneficial. The body of scientific literature in this area is limited due to the regulatory restrictions that have existed with regards to cannabis and its derivatives, and this study will contribute to building that body of literature.

COVID-19 Infection and Epithelial Cell Markers

Covid-19 has emerged as a major health concern in 2020, with a mortality rate of 11%. Covid-19 is due to a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which enters the human body through a receptor called ACE-2 in the airway. Asthmatics are usually at increased risk for viral infections, which exacerbated their asthma symptoms, however early clinical studies suggest that asthma is not a main risk factor for developing Covid-19, and that asthmatics taking inhaled steroids possibly have less of the ACE-2 receptor in their airways. We will compare the level of the ACE-2 receptor and inflammatory cells in the upper and lower airways of asthmatics and healthy controls. We will also compare the levels of ACE-2 receptor and inflammatory cells in patients with Covid-19 confirmed infection (asthmatics and non-asthmatics) to a hospitalized group without Covid-19 infection, and examine if inflammatory cells which drive asthma protect against developing Covid-19 disease. This will increase our understanding of the role of the ACE-2 receptor and inflammatory cells in asthmatics, and their role in the development of Covid-19 disease.

Investigation of IL-5R? expression on ILC2 as a target for Benralizumab

A newly identified group of cells termed type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) have been discovered in the past decade. Increasing evidence supports the view that ILC2s play a central role in driving the cellular changes in the airways of asthmatic subjects. ILC2s are increased in severe asthmatics with uncontrolled inflammation despite being on the highest doses of accepted therapies like oral and inhaled steroids. Finding pathways that control ILC2s may provide additional therapies to control severe asthma. We have previously detected a receptor on the surface of ILC2 termed IL-5Ralpha (CD125) and this study aims to confirm the presence of this receptor on ILC2s and understand the biology of this receptor, specifically factors that up-regulate expression levels. In addition, using in vitro culture experiments, we will investigate the effect of a drug that targets and removes cells that express this receptor, namely Benralizumab on ILC2s.

Mely.ai

Les activités prévues lors de ce projet serve à poursuivre et conclure ceux qui ont été effectués lors du premier projet. L’ensemble du projet s’établie sur un plan annuel puisque le but principal est de générer des leads potentiels (Inbound) tout en établissant l’image de la compagnie qui doit être reconnue au grand publique. La première phase du projet consistait à effectuer une recherche avancée quant aux marchés et son environnement. J’ai également établi un processus de génération des leads en agrandissant la communauté sur les réseaux sociaux. Puis en restructurant des aspects de l’organisme afin de mieux représenter son image et sa proposition de valeur. En autre, à travers son site web. Nous avons également déterminé lors de cette phase que les États-Unis est une démographie très intéressante pour notre produit et que nous devons développer nos efforts sur ce marché. La suite du projet consiste à effectuer notre plan et augmenter ses chances de succès en évaluant et en s’adaptant constamment à notre marché.
