Les écosystèmes d’innovation dans les villes moyennes québécoises : une typologie

Né d’une collaboration entre le Département Sociétés, Territoires et Développement de l’UQAR et l’entreprise Grenier Stratégies, ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de dresser le portrait des conditions de fabrique de l’innovation dans les petites et moyennes villes du Québec afin de proposer une analyse de la nature des écosystèmes d’innovation présents dans ces localités. Cette étude se déploie sur deux volets, les facteurs externes de l’innovation, soit la position géographique des villes et ses relations avec des acteurs extérieurs, et les facteurs internes, référant aux dynamiques économiques présentes à l’intérieur de l’écosystème permettant la création d’innovations. Ce partenariat avec Grenier Stratégies permet l’émergence d’une opportunité de développement et de mise en oeuvre d’une méthodologie systématique de recherche. Ceci permet également la création d’une plateforme d’échange entre des acteurs du terrain et des spécialistes universitaires, et ce, afin de favoriser la mise en application des connaissances produites dans le cadre de ce projet.

Identifying DNA repair deficiencies across lung cancer progression

This project investigates how metastatic lung cancer develops and evolves over time. DNA sequencing can be utilised to identify patterns in cancer genomes associated with specific sources of mutation (eg: UV rays, tobacco smoke, intrinsic cellular processes). Additionally, cancers may acquire defects in DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in a positive feedback loop of increasing mutation rate.
Recent research from the TRACERx program has helped discover the subpopulations of cells which metastasize in lung cancer. In this project, we will use machine learning to identify patterns in mutations in these lung cancers, and further understand the differences in the patterns of mutations in two populations of cells identified in TRACERx: those which don’t result in metastasis, and those which do.
We aim to identify when in the developmental path of the tumours particular mutational patterns arise and change. Ultimately, the project strives to enhance our understanding of cancer evolution and spread, knowledge that may improve treatment strategies and patient outcomes.

Identification des facteurs d’adoption des technologies d’assistance utilisées auprès des aînés en déclin cognitif : perspective des ergothérapeutes

Dans le cadre de ce projet proposé à Mitacs, nous désirons explorer la perspective des ergothérapeutes impliqués auprès des aînés vivant avec difficultés pour connaître ce qui les amènent à prescrire des aides technologiques. Effectivement, favoriser l’autonomie et la sécurité de cette clientèle est au coeur des enjeux adressés par les ergothérapeutes oeuvrant en vieillissement et demeure un défi colossal pour notre système de santé. Malgré leur caractère invisible, les atteintes cognitives engendrent des situations de handicap souvent plus importantes que les atteintes physiques et motrices. Effectivement, la présence certaines difficultés chez les aînés augmente les risques de faire des erreurs qui affecte l’autonomie aux activités de la vie quotidienne, comme la prise de médication et la préparation de repas. Les technologies d’assistance à la cognition peuvent être une solution à cette problématique. Toutefois, les raisons qui amènent les ergothérapeutes à les intégrer à leur pratique sont peu connues. Mieux comprendre ces raisons permettrait d’identifier les facteurs qui mènent à l’adoption et à l’intégration des aides technologiques dans la pratique ergothérapique auprès de la clientèle aînée. Pour répondre à ces questions, une recherche qualitative descriptive sera utilisée.

PayTickr Scheduling Module

PayTickr is a mobile time tracking and payroll system for small businesses. This project’s focus is adding an AI-assisted scheduling module to the system, allowing small business owners to schedule their employees quickly and efficiently each week. Employees will be able to access and view their schedule through a mobile app as well as requesting days off and availabilities. Company admins will set the schedules based on employee availability and over time the system will begin recommending schedules using AI/machine-learning based on past history to ease the administrative burden. The intern will be working with graphic designers on the implementation of the user-interface for these tools, but will be primarily responsible for the implementation of the AI component and backend implementation of the scheduling module.

Développement d’une base de connaissances pour l’exploration de la littérature jeunesse au Québec

En conformité avec le Plan d’action numérique en éducation et en enseignement supérieur, les bibliothèques scolaires tendent à devenir des carrefours d’apprentissage (mesure 17). Pour ce faire, il importe que le personnel scolaire et les élèves aient en main de l’information de qualité quant aux usages pédagogiques des livres à leur disposition en bibliothèque. À cet égard, les outils en ligne de recherche et de recommandation de documents facilitent la sélection de documents par les bibliothécaires scolaires. Il existe cependant actuellement de nombreuses sources d’informations et des bases de données qui sont combinées par le personnel pour réunir l’information nécessaire à l’acquisition de contenu en bibliothèque scolaire.
Le projet a donc pour objectif de développer un prototype de solution d’« agrégateur des outils de recherche de livres ». La solution permettra de :
– agréger la plupart des bases de données disponibles à partir des différentes ressources de recherche utilisées par les bibliothécaires scolaires ;
– agréger les informations détaillées quant à la qualité pédagogique des livres imprimés et numériques disponibles notamment ;
– filtrer les sources documentaires selon un nombre de catégories automatisables identifiées par l’analyse des besoins croisés aux bases de données, en collaboration avec le milieu preneur.

Improving efficiency and safety in aviation industry using big data analytics

In aviation industry a large flow of data including thousands of parameters are registered by FDRs (Flight Data Recorders). The objective of this project is to use this big data to improve the efficiency and safety of flights. The data is collected and segmented from the raw datasets and then proper data cleaning methods are used to preprocess data. Then, by the help of analytical models we define a baseline for different registered parameters and compare individual flights against the baseline to detect anomalies. In the next step, by the help of optimization models and statistical techniques such as clique partitioning and set partitioning methods, we define a normal flight and compare individual flights with this pattern.

An Evaluation of the Procedural Justice Training for the Barrie Police Service Staff

The procedural justice model emphasizes the key role of police behavior in generating compliance. This concept suggests that citizens will be more satisfied and less likely to resist when police explain their actions, show that they work for the wellbeing of the community, and act respectfully. In the proposed evaluation project, the outcomes of a two-day training program for the Barrie Police Service staff on Procedural Justice will be evaluated through a one-group pretest-posttest design and follow-up interviews. The two-day training intends to change the officer behavior and the nature of police citizen interactions. The goal of this project is to assess officers’ expressed support for the procedural justice concept and to enhance their support for procedural justice strategies in daily policing practices. Consequently, we will measure to what extent procedural justice is internalized by officers after receiving the training.
