“Projet d’amélioration continue en assurance qualité : Numérisation des systèmes pour une gestion optimisée de la qualité en industrie pharmaceutique”

L’industrie pharmaceutique est soumise à de nombreuses normes et exigences en matière de qualité, ce qui en fait l’un des secteurs les plus réglementés. La gestion de ces exigences implique une documentation importante
qui nécessite une gestion rigoureuse. Cependant, lorsque cette gestion documentaire n’est pas dématérialisée, elle peut être lourde.
C’est dans ce contexte que Galenova a proposé la mise en place d’un projet d’amélioration continue en assurance qualité visant à optimiser la gestion quotidienne de ses systèmes qualité. Actuellement, ces systèmes reposent
entièrement sur des documents papier, ce qui complique le travail du personnel. Afin de remédier à ces lacunes, le projet vise à numériser ces systèmes pour les rendre plus performants.
Ce projet est d’envergure considérable et se déploiera sur une période prolongée, étant donné que la gestion de la qualité englobe plusieurs systèmes distincts. L’objectif principal est de mettre en place un système numérique
intégré permettant une gestion plus efficace de l’ensemble des processus qualité, tout en créant un environnement de travail plus efficient et mieux adapté aux exigences réglementaires et aux normes de qualité en vigueur.

Implementing A Community Model of Policing: A Case Study of Change

Over the past several years, serious concern has emerged in many Western nations over the future and sustainability of public policing. The situation in Canada is no different. Key stakeholders in the Canadian policing community have expressed serious concern about the sustainability of policing. A model of public policing has emerged in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan that may represent a way forward for municipalities as well as larger jurisdictions across the country. The Community Mobilization Prince Albert (CMPA) model is a significant departure from the way in which public policing has been delivered in this country. Borrowed from the HUB model that was put in place in Scotland, the CMPA HUB model is based on suppression, prevention and intervention. This is a community approach to policing, wherein social agencies and services collaborate with the police to stop crime before it happens. The Scottish and Prince Albert HUB models have been met with considerable acclaim, however there has not been much measurement of the model’s effectiveness. The Peel Regional Police have now decided to run a pilot project to develop a made-in-Peel HUB model. TOBECONT’D

Exploring Restorative Responses to Hate & Radicalization

This project seeks to understand the appropriateness and applicability of restorative justice processes in preventing and responding to situations of hate and radicalization to violence, with consideration for how
restorative justice might complement existing de-radicalization/violence prevention and response programs, while also not causing further harm. Through a synthesis of existing literature, this research project will provide a
comprehensive overview of restorative justice practices in use in both the prevention of, and in response to, radicalization to violence, compiling a final report of best practices and approaches being used nationally and
internationally. The partner organization will benefit through the receipt of final project report, as well as distributable materials for partners and other stakeholders. Developed materials will serve as a blueprint for
other community-based organizations or social services agencies to use when developing services to prevent and respond to hate and radicalization to violence in their communities.

De Marque : Exploration d’un outil de recommandation dans une bibliothèque publique numérique

De Marque développe des plateformes de prêt numérique, notamment pretnumerique.ca, dans toutes les bibliothèques publiques du Québec. De Marque dispose d’un historique de plus de 20 millions de prêts et plus
d’un million de titres actifs.
Afin d’améliorer l’expérience des utilisateurs, l’objectif est d’explorer le développement d’un outil de recommandation basé sur la proximité du contenu des livres, plutôt que sur la recommandation collaborative. Un
premier prototype a été réalisé exploitant ChatGPT. Des tests à petite échelle ont montré le potentiel de l’outil.
Le projet vise à optimiser les résultats proposés afin de produire des recommandations les plus utiles possibles pour les utilisateurs. Le rôle du stagiaire sera d’améliorer la qualité des recommandations en travaillant sur les
métadonnées qui sont exploitées ainsi que sur les algorithmes (choix, calibrage, etc.), de proposer des méthodes de test et d’analyser les résultats obtenus pour dégager des hypothèses d’amélioration et les tester dans une
nouvelle itération. Les fonctionnalités suivantes seront explorées: (i) la recherche sémantique, (ii) le regroupement automatique par catégories et (iii) la génération de recommandations.

From stress to success: Investigating the effects of a 3D-multiple object tracking intervention on markers of oxidative stress in brain injury survivors

Brain injury, a leading cause of disability worldwide, affects a person’s mind and body. After injury, the brain needs more oxygen to begin recovery, which can result in a problematic process called “oxidative stress”. This research tests if training your brain with a video game, NeuroTracker, reduces oxidative stress, and improves brain injury-related outcomes. The brain is like a muscle; it can be trained and made stronger. NeuroTracker is like taking your brain to the gym, a small, repetitive action with a significant impact. This research examines if markers of oxidative stress are decreased after ten-weeks of brain training, and if changes persist over time. The Victoria Brain Injury Society (VBIS) is a project partner to include perspectives from experienced workers in the field and patients with lived experience of brain injury. This project aims to provide VBIS with evidence for NeuroTracker training, while sharing this knowledge with the community.

Effet de la teneur en carbone sur la résistance du métal de base CA6NM à la propagation des fissures de fatigue

Les turbines hydrauliques dans les barrages sont fabriquées en acier inoxydable martensitique. Cet acier contient du Chrome, du Nickel et moins de 0.06% de Carbone. Notre étude se concentrera sur trois types de cet acier avec différente teneur carbone. Afin de ne mettre en valeur que l’effet du carbone, on leur fait subir des traitements thermiques pour avoir la même microstructure. Par la suite on fait des essais de traction et de résilience pour les trois aciers suivie par des mesures fractographique pour expliquer l’effet de carbone sur les propriétés monotone du matériau. La partie finale consiste à faire subir à ces aciers des charges cycliques constantes. Ainsi on compare la vitesse avec laquelle la fissure se propage dans ces matériaux. Le matériau qui a une vitesse plus faible pour le même nombre de cycle est le meilleur.

Passive carbonation of desulfurized Raglan tailings and support to the Raglan environment team

The Raglan operations aim to reduce their carbon footprint and find opportunities of waste valorization. The main objective of the internship is to launch the study of the carbon capture potential of desulfurized Raglan tailings and the possible valorization options of the carbonated desulfurized tailings and sulfide concentrate generated in the process. The sub-objectives are to desulfurize the Raglan tailings using froth flotation, characterize the desulfurized and sulfide concentrate fractions, and study the passive carbonation of the desulfurized tailings in the laboratory. The proposed internship is the first step of a broader research project that will feed the design of the reclamation scenarios at Raglan and help reduce the carbon footprint of the Raglan operations. Results will be potentially applicable at other Canadian mines in ultramafic settings.
