Development and Validation of a Needle Decompression Simulator to Support the Acquisition and Maintenance of Advanced Care Paramedics Skills

Paramedics perform a range of services in pre-hospital patient care, often being the first responders for the most critically ill patients. As such, it is crucial for them to learn and retain life-saving clinical procedures throughout their career. Simulation has been designed to provide a way to paramedic training. This project focuses on the development of a 3D printed simulator for training and re-training of the needle decompression procedure, a life saving yet rarely performed procedure. Once developed, we will test whether the 3D printed simulator leads to improved performance in paramedics relative to standard training. We anticipate that this project will result in a novel, effective and low-cost training solution for paramedics.

Characterization of insoluble minerals in the conventional potash mines of Saskatchewan: Implications for the origin and paragenesis of the Prairie Evaporite Formation

Potash, a group of potassium bearing minerals, is an essential crop nutrient. The use of potash-based fertilizers increases crop yields while making plants more resistant to extreme climate and disease. It is essential to meeting the food needs of the growing human population. Canada-based Nutrien Ltd. extracts potash from underground mines across Saskatchewan and is the largest producer in the world. The potash deposits Nutrien mines formed in a vast salty sea that stretched across western Canada 385 million years ago. Nowhere do analogous potash deposits form on the planet today. Understanding their origin requires detailed description of the potash rocks, which are found deep beneath the Canadian prairies. This project will conduct high-resolution sampling within Nutrien’s mines followed by high-precision analytical work to further characterize and understand their origin. The results will ensure Nutrien is able to continue efficiently mining Saskatchewan’s potash, which is among the highest quality on the planet.

GlenxRose – Linking the Clinic and Industry to Improve Patients’ Adherence to Therapeutic Interventions Using eXtended Reality

The present proposal is focused in extended reality technologies applied for the rehabilitation of brain injuries and voice-related disorders. The prevalence of these two conditions are high in the Canadian population. The adherence in the rehabilitation of these medical conditions are low. The University of Alberta (CogPro lab) in collaboration with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital has created an extended reality system called the ‘GlenxRose program’ for improving patient adherence to therapy for brain injuries and voice-related disorders. The general objective of this research design and implement clinical research in order to foster the adoption of a new rehabilitation technology, i.e. ‘GlenxRose program’ in the standard care services at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.

Apprentissage continu par modulation de paramètres d’incertitudes

L’intelligence artificielle et l’apprentissage profond font leur entrée dans notre vie. Que ce soit par le biais de moteurs de suggestion de film, d’assistant vocale ou d’aide à la conduite automobile, il est désormais pris pour acquis que cette technologie est là pour rester. Mais les modèles d’intelligence artificielle que nous connaissons aujourd’hui souffrent tous du même défaut. Ils peuvent être entraînés pour effectuer une tâche donnée, mais ils cessent d’apprendre dès que cet entraînement est terminé. Or, nous évoluons dans un environnement changeant et dynamique. Une voiture autonome entraînée pour reconnaître certains panneaux de signalisation ne saura pas quoi faire si un nouveau panneau fait soudainement partie du paysage. Le but de ce projet est de doter les modèles d’intelligence artificielle d’une composante permettant de moduler leur fonctionnement après leur période d’entraînement initiale. Les modèles ainsi modulés auraient donc une plus grande durée de vie et seraient plus performants.

Modification de bitume avec de la lignine

Veuillez donner, en un paragraphe rédigé dans un vocabulaire simple et compréhensible par le grand public (public non initié), une description générale du projet de recherche proposé qui sera entrepris par le ou les stagiaires ainsi que les avantages escomptés pour l’organisme partenaire. (de 100 à 150 mots)
Le bitume est utilisé pour produire les enrobés bitumineux qui composent la majorité des chaussées au Canada. Il s’agit d’une ressource non renouvelable issue de l’industrie du pétrole. Il est donc primordial de trouver des solutions innovantes et plus durables pour remplacer, au moins en partie, le bitume utilisé dans l’industrie routière. Dans ce projet, on propose d’évaluer la possibilité de remplacer une partie du bitume par de la lignine, un composant naturel du bois. Cette ressource renouvelable est produite en grande quantité par l’industrie forestière mais elle n’a pas d’utilisation bien définie à ce jour. Grâce à ce projet, FP Innovations espère démontrer que la lignine peut remplacer partiellement le bitume et ainsi ouvrir la porte à l’utilisation de lignine à grande échelle dans la construction des chaussées tout en diminuant l’empreinte environnementale de cette industrie.

Expanding chemical oxygen demand (COD) profiles to validate contaminant specific degradation in freshwater environments and indicators of ecosystem function

Environmental scientists examining large-scale ecosystem processes (e.g., climate change, contaminant effects) are increasingly charged with collecting high-quality data on a more rapid timeline and extending the application of that data spatially and temporally. IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) is a field research station comprised of 58 pristine lakes and their watersheds. This area has been set aside exclusively for research to influence environmental policy and regulations in favour of protecting Canada’s freshwater resources. Current IISD-ELA projects include developing minimally invasive methods for oil spill cleanup, assessing the effects of pharmaceuticals, and determining the impacts of climate change on aquatic productivity. Each of these projects includes measurements that help us understand changes related to the stressor of interest, with some common measurements relevant to all stressors. Oxygen demand, related to the degradation of organic and inorganic constituents by aerobic respirators (biological oxygen demand – BOD) and chemical reactions (chemical oxygen demand – COD), is considered a fundamental measure of water quality. Mantech Inc. has developed a new robust and field ready instrument (the PeCOD) to allow rapid determinations of COD that can be used to inform IISD-ELA projects.

Renouveler la politique culturelle de la municipalité régionale de comté de Nicolet-Yamaska et celle de Bécancour dans une perspective territoriale

Afin de repenser leur politique culturelle sur tout le territoire avec tous les acteurs, les deux MRC de Nicolet-Yamaska et Bécancour souhaitent mener une consultation publique avec plusieurs milieux (culturel, scolaire, environnement, économie, administration, politique, citoyens et autochtones). L’évolution de la politique nationale de la ruralité 2014-2024 et de la politique culturelle du Québec 2018-2023 invite désormais vers des stratégies globales ou intégrées à l’échelle territoriale plutôt que vers une approche qui impliquerait uniquement le secteur culturel. Ainsi, l’objectif général du projet est d’accompagner les MRC dans leur démarche de renouvellement de leur politique culturelle et de rédaction d’un plan d’action selon les principes de la gouvernance collaborative préconisés par l’UNESCO depuis 2018. Pour y parvenir, on procédera (1) à inscrire la politique culturelle dans une approche territoriale en consultant une diversité d’acteurs de différents secteurs dont les représentants des communautés abénakises d’Odanak et de Wôlinak; (2) à rédiger cette politique qui seront soumis au Conseil des maires et municipalités (CMM); et (3) rédiger le plan d’action en vue du dépôt de l’entente de développement culturel (EDC) afin d’obtenir les crédits ministériels nécessaires à leur mise en œuvre.
