Pragmatica UWaterloo Co-op

The project will consist of helping develop the core product of the company, which is a Virtual Reality (VR) application containing activities that mimic the type of exercises done in speech therapy sessions. The premise of the product is to have a library of activities that target different communication skills, allowing its users to practice their communication skills from the comfort of their own homes without a therapist present. Accordingly, the project will entail the development of those activities and other features like the user interface, data analysis and voice recognition. This would greatly help accelerate the company’s progress and aid them in entering the market at a much faster rate, as well as reaching different customer segments that each have different sets of communication skills to work on.

Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre Project

A long-standing community-based organization, the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre (SFBLC) started as a temporary project in the summer of 1983. A year later, it was incorporated as a non-profit entity and remains “committed to ensuring a food-secure community where all people have access to safe, affordable, and nutritious
food.” The SFBLC currently offers a variety of programs, services and initiatives addressing the underlying causes of food insecurity and poverty in the city of Saskatoon.
Approaching its 40th anniversary, the organization wishes to examine and share its own history. In anticipation of this event, the SFBLC is partnering with the University of Saskatchewan History Department’s Co-Lab—Centre for Community-Engaged and Collaborative Historical Research (Co-Lab) to review and document its organizational history, highlighting the organization’s important contribution to the city of Saskatoon. The project will create a report and several short videos documenting this history.

Calgary as a Sustainable Tourism Destination

To understand how well a city’s socio-economic and natural systems are functioning, destinations around the world utilize indicators to measure and report on sustainability stewardship. Global Destination Movement put forth an international benchmarking framework (GDS Index) to evaluate a destinations’ sustainability performance. Sustainability is measured across 77 indicators within four categories (social, environmental, supplier and destination management organization criteria), and is aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainability indicators are effective tools for igniting dialogue between stakeholders, driving change, setting targets, understanding emerging trends, creating new solutions and ideas, and can overall lead to effective policy, planning, and strategic management in the tourism sector. This project aims to utilize the GDS Index to measure Calgary’s performance as a sustainable tourism destination and overall explore strategies to improve its score. The goal of Calgary measuring and reporting within this framework is to encourage short- and long-term regenerative socio-economic prosperity throughout new market expansion in the sector.

Development of State-Space Models for Predicting Insurance Risk of Accidents in Autonomous Vehicles Based on Telematics Data and Improvements to Existing Modeling Approaches

The development of autonomous vehicles and telematics is transforming the auto insurance sector. Reports highlight Tesla’s insurance ventures predicting a significant revenue share. This shift is underpinned by telematics, which offers detailed insights into driving behaviors and vehicle usage, essential for autonomous vehicle insurance risk assessments and pricing. The research in this domain, especially in South Korea and Canada, is critical, aiming to fill the gap in mathematical statistical models for addressing liability in autonomous driving. This initiative proposes a novel state-space model grounded in telematics data, marking a significant step toward refining insurance models for autonomous vehicles. The internship aims to enhance collaboration between South Korean and Canadian researchers, leveraging gained insights to tackle existing challenges within the insurance industry and develop advanced risk assessment models. This effort is poised to spearhead advancements in autonomous vehicle insurance, influencing the industry’s future significantly. The program is designed to foster technological exchanges and boost industry growth across both nations, positioning them as leaders in the InsurTech domain.

Analysis of Complex Environmental Stress Impact of Antarctic Fish: Integrated Biophysical and Genomic Analysis of Adaptation

This project proposes a comprehensive analysis of the impact of environmental stress on Antarctic fish, utilizing an integrated approach that combines biophysical and genomic analyses to study adaptation mechanisms. By integrating disciplines, including physics and biology, this research aims to enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes and adaptation strategies of organisms in extreme environments, such as polar regions. The foundation of this study is based on whole genome sequencing data from a Korean laboratory, which will be analyzed using computational physical techniques to investigate the biological mechanisms of adaptation. This multidisciplinary methodology allows for a more in-depth examination of how Antarctic fish cope with environmental challenges, contributing to our broader understanding of genetic and physiological responses to extreme cold. The project’s outcomes are expected to provide significant insights into the evolutionary strategies of organisms in response to environmental stressors, highlighting the complex interplay between genomic adaptation and environmental conditions. This research represents a pivotal step towards elucidating the principles of life’s resilience in the face of extreme environmental pressures.

[Impact du traitement Forcyl® sur les Campylobacter et les E. coli fécaux chez le bovin

La marbofloxacine est un antibiotique (fluoroqinolone de troisième génération) utilisée en médecine vétérinaire. Son effet sur la santé des animaux est bien documenté par le partenaire Vétoquinol. Toutefois, son impact sur les Campylobacter (pathogène alimentaire) et les E.coli fécaux de la flore fécale (indicateurs), n’a pas été documenté. Le but de l’étude est donc de déterminer les effets du traitement Forcyl® sur ces 2 bactéries, plus spécifiquement de mesurer l’impact de ce traitement sur leur concentration et sur la sélection de souches résistantes à la marbofloxacine. Ces travaux sont très pertients pour Vétoquinol, étant donné qu’ils appuieront l’analyse du risque pour la sécurité de cette approche thérapeutique des maladies respiratoires ou des mammites chez le bovin. Ainsi les connaissances produites permettront de documenter les impacts du traitement Forcyl® sur certains microorganismes de la microflore intestinale de l’animal dans une perspective de salubrité alimentaire après traitement, et permettront au partenaire de rencontrer les exigences de Santé Canada
