Mieux comprendre la prise de décision clinique pour la lombalgie en première ligne de soins : une approche par méthodes mixtes.

L’un des plus grands défis pour le système de soins de santé québécois est l’augmentation des coûts et du fardeau social associés aux maladies chroniques. Parmi celles-ci, les maux de dos sont responsables de la majeure partie des coûts engendrés par les conditions qui touchent le système musculosquelettique.

Nombreux sont les patients qui consultent en milieux de soins primaires pour des maux de dos. L’utilisation d’approches systématiques pour l’évaluation et la prise en charge des patients atteints de maux de dos permet notamment de réduire l’utilisation des ressources médicales, les références inutiles ou prématurées vers des soins de santé spécialisés et, de façon générale, les temps d’attente pour obtenir des services et soins de santé. Malheureusement, plusieurs défis, en lien avec ces approches systématiques, sont rencontrés par les intervenants de soins primaires, menant à une utilisation sous-optimale des recommandations issues des guides de bonnes pratiques cliniques.

L’objectif général du projet proposé est d’explorer les différents facteurs qui sous-tendent la prise de décision clinique, à savoir le diagnostic et la prise en charge, des patients qui souffrent de lombalgie, des intervenants de soins primaires.

Technician Tracking Aid for customer task scheduling

This project will enable customers to be able to track their scheduled jobs with technicians on their mobile devices. The work will see the development of an application that can facilitate customers to view the locations of technicians on a map and scheduled appointments with them. The technicians can set their status as “available” and “not available” which can aid the customer to schedule appointment only with available technicians. There are lots of research components in this work from both technical and non-technical perspectives. Technically, the project will facilitate the study and integration of several services such as mobile technology, cloud computing, and database dsign and push services. Secondly, the collected data can be analyzed to determine the relationship between customers and technicians, customer satisfaction rate with provided services, and timely delivery of services based on the appointment.

Séjour de formation en analyse métabolomique dans le laboratoire du Pr Jean-Luc Wolfender de l’Univeristé de Genève (Suisse)

Mon projet est focalisé sur la recherche de nouveaux métabolites bioactifs provenant de sources naturelles, plus spécifiquement de champignons, en particulier ceux du Nord du Québec. Cette région a été particulièrement négligée pour la recherche de nouveaux produits naturels et nous pensons que les organismes qui s’y trouvent produisent des métabolites spécialisés uniques en raison des stress uniques et extrêmes de la Nordicité. Des spécimens de champignons nordiques sont récoltés au Québec, particulièrement au Nunavik, et conservés dans un fongarium. Les métabolites sont ensuite extraits, purifiés et soumis à des tests d’activités biologiques. La structure des molécules prometteuses est déterminée par diverses méthodes spectroscopiques et spectrométriques.
L’analyse métabolomique sera un atout majeur pour mes travaux. Puisque la recherche se concentre sur des champignons rares et nordiques, l’approvisionnement en grandes quantités est souvent difficile. L’approche métabolomique permet de faciliter la rechercher et la découverte de nouvelles molécules, la bioprospection, d’analyser de petites quantités d’extraits et d’identifier des métabolites minoritaires. Le séjour de formation me permettra de perfectionner mes connaissances en extraction et caractérisation de métabolites spécialisés, tout en optimisant mes méthodes de travail grâce à l’utilisation de technologies de pointe, comme la LC-MS/MS ou la LC-RMN, non disponibles à l’Université Laval.

Digital twinning opportunity for circular economy in construction

This study aims to examine the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and 3D scanning technologies in the design, construction and deconstruction phases of the circular economy. Additionally, it seeks to identify the limitations and gaps in existing research. To this aim, the study first analyses the use of BIM in the design phase of the circular economy through a review of previous research, and then specifically identifies how BIM and 3D scanning technologies can be applied in the construction and deconstruction phases. Ultimately, this study identifies how each technology can contribute to the objective of a circular economy and provide direction for future research.

Gossip and Space in Filipino Homes

This project will explore the role of traditional Filipino homes in preserving cultural stories and building community, focusing on how spaces like verandas and common areas support social interaction and storytelling, especially among women. By studying these architectural features, the project aims to highlight how Filipino culture is passed down through generations, with a particular focus on informal forms of storytelling like gossip. The research will involve fieldwork in the Philippines, where the intern will visit important cultural sites and engage with local communities to collect personal stories. The project will benefit participating institutions by fostering international collaboration, enhancing the understanding of Filipino architecture and culture, and providing new insights into gender and community building, while also contributing to the preservation of Filipino cultural heritage.

Connectivity of random graphs with fixed degree sequence

Random Graphs are crucial for modelling large, complex networks such as: the hyperlinks between pages of the web, protein interactions at the cellular level, the brain’s neural pathways, social networks and many others. Graphs are ubiquitous because they focus only on connectivity structure. A graph consists of a set of vertices, some pairs of which are connected by an edge. The degree of a vertex is the number of edges leaving it. The classical Erdos-Renyi random graph does not reflect the structure of real-life networks because it treats all vertices identically and so the degrees are concentrated in a small range. In real world network, degrees tend to vary significantly, e.g. the web contains authoritative hubs each linked to thousands of times, while there are very few links into a typical page . We will study random graphs with a fixed degree sequence which are universally recognized as more appropriate for modelling real world networks. We will attempt to determine the conditions which ensure we can move from every vertex to every other vertex along a sequence of edges. This will be a novel result and is expected to innovate techniques related to working with such random graph models.

Développement d’un Modèle d’Analyse Automatique des Angiographies Coronaires pour la Génération de Rapports Cliniques

L’objectif de cette recherche est de développer un modèle capable d’analyser automatiquement les vidéos d’angiographies coronaires pour générer un rapport textuel contenant la gravité des sténoses ainsi que la fonction du ventricule gauche et du ventricule droit (VG / VD). Ce modèle repose sur l’intégration d’un encodeur vidéo pour extraire des caractéristiques spatio-temporelles, un tokenizer de text pour intégrer des questions sous forme de prompts, et d’un modèle de langage pour générer des diagnostics cliniques. Le modèle sera entraîné sur des paires de vidéos et rapports annotés par des cardiologues, puis évalués avec les métriques ROUGE , BLEU, METEOR, Cosine Similarity and RadGraph-F1. En standardisant l’analyse des angiographies, ce projet vise à améliorer la précision des diagnostics et à réduire les variations dues à l’expertise humaine. Ce projet réduira les délais de diagnostic et permettra une prise en charge plus rapide des patients au Québec. L’évaluation automatisée des sténoses et des fonctions VG/VD aidera les cliniciens à prendre des décisions éclairées en temps réel sur la meilleure prise en charge de la maladie cardiaque.

Visualizing the Performance of Scientific Applications Executing with Space-Time Domain Decomposition

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different parts of the computing platform that can include different types of multicore processors and manycore graphics processors. A promising approach involves simultaneously computing different time intervals in the simulation, using what is called the parareal algorithm. Careful monitoring of the performance of the computation is required in order to fine tune the implementation of this algorithm so that it produces the desired benefit. In a recent internship a visualization tool was developed, which allows online monitoring of the progress of a CFD simulation. This project will investigate the further development and use of this tool to allow effective use of the parareal algorithm on current high performance computers. This will enable Envenio to achieve significant performance gains on large-scale real world fluid dynamics problems.

A socio-ecological analysis of nature-based Green Care Farm project for older adults living with dementia and their care partners

The proposal aligns with an ongoing project conducted by the Gilbrea Dementia SHARE group which investigates the impact of a nature-based support program for older adults with dementia and their caregivers. This study focuses on social health and well-being outcomes for individuals living with dementia. The proposed project aims to identify the socio-ecological factors influencing their participation in nature-based activities. It seeks to improve research outcomes through field engagement and data analysis related to dementia and Green Care Farm studies. The key objectives of the proposed project are to contribute to the ongoing research efforts of the research group in designing a dementia-friendly intervention program centred around Green Care Farms and to secure future funding. This will be accomplished by supporting the research team in performing data analyses and producing knowledge translation products (such as infographics and designing community outreach materials). These efforts are intended to support the effective design of nature-based interventions focused on dementia care. Knowledge generated from the research project will provide further insights into the perceived enablers and barriers to nature-based support opportunities for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

Local Global Principle for non-abelian second Galois cohomology over semi-global fields

Nonabelian second Galois cohomology plays an important role in studying local global priniciples.
Grothendieck used it to prove remarkable results on torsors over algebraic groups for classical
global fields. This was used later in the context of studying local global principles in the context of
fields with Galois groups of virtual cohomological dimension at most one. In this project we aim
to explore using these techniques in the context of studying local global principles for semi-global fields.
