Published: January 2019

This paper describes a study performed to gather an overall understanding of the state of wellness inthe engineering undergraduate student population at the University of British Columbia. The study consisted of conducting an anonymous online survey asking students to respond on areas related to their physical and mental health, levels of stress, and belonging and inclusivity in their community. The results indicate discrepancies in perceived mental health, stress levels and sense of belonging between genders and year levels.
Fuzzy logic in engineering education and evaluation of graduate attributes
Authors: Ghomshei Mory
Published: January 2019

Fuzzy logic, which was invented in 1960’s, in response to emerging needs to deal with complex techno-social concepts, is becoming more and more relevant to today’s problems. Nowadays, fuzzy logic should not only become a part of the engineering curriculum but also a part of the engineering education standards. For example a fuzzy approach can be used in evaluating graduate attributes (GAs). Most graduate attributes are fuzzy and need to be evaluated using a fuzzy logic methodology.The present paper is an attempt to introduce fuzzy tools (such as fuzzy sets and fuzzy linguistic value systems) to provide a metric for defining and evaluating graduate attributes. Proper definition and scaling of fuzzy attributes can provide a common language, through which educators, industry, and regulators can communicate and collaborate more effectively in the process of assigning jobs to engineers with attributes which best fit the task. Also, by using a fuzzy method, the uncertainty of attributes is neither magnified nor dampened in the analytical process (contrary to most conventional approaches).A properly defined fuzzy metric for GAs can provide flexibility in the implementation of the system, while reducing the overall errors in evaluation. Graduate attributes are proposed to be divided into three major classes or spaces (i.e. knowledge, social and ethical), each consisting of a number of fuzzy attributes and sub-attributes, which can be summed up with appropriate weighting factors. A neural network engine can be used to find the optimal weighting factors.
UNLEASHING KNOWLEDGE CREATION AND SHARING IN A REFLECTIVE OPEN EDUCATION
Authors: Habash Riadh
Published: January 2019

The volume of knowledge that engineers are collectively called upon to know is increasing far more rapidly than the capability of engineering curricula to cover it. This reality necessitates rethinking a learner-centered pedagogy by moving from acquisition and possession of knowledge to creation of knowledge, which comes about through reflection, sharing, and interaction in an active learning environment. This paper explores such pedagogy of blended learning that may contribute to the development and mastery of competencies and advance the quality of engineering education. This pedagogy is based on the knowledge creation framework of “acquire-reflect-share-apply” to boost students’ creativity and innovation in two engineering disciplines (Electrical and Mechanical) at the University of Ottawa. Peer evaluation and questionnaire were administered to measure the effectiveness of reflection practice to students’ learning. Presented also are two open educational resources (g9toengineering.com; greenengineers.ca) developed by the author as an online model to enable knowledge sharing and transfer.
When Does Leadership Become Engineering Leadership
Authors: Winkelman Paul
Published: January 2019

The increasing complexity of our world as aresult of globalization has called for a greater emphasison leadership in many sectors of society. This includesengineering, both in terms of education and practice. Areview of literature reveals that engineering concepts ofleadership do not always align with concepts of otherdisciplines, suggesting the existence of a kind of“engineering leadership”.To identify what this form of leadership might be,four concepts, closely related to leadership are extractedfrom the leadership literature: problem, skills, authorityand values. As these are carried over from engineering toleadership, a certain kind of leadership results.Of these four concepts, “values” was exploredfurther through the engineering values of dependency,efficiency and inevitability. These values affect one’sconcept of leadership: inevitability, for instance, maycause some leaders to uncritically accept certain aspectsof the social system. In this way, we can define“engineering leadership” as leadership which embodiesor expresses engineering values.
Thermal Analysis of Integrating Roof with Phase Change Materials for Energy Saving in Residential Buildings
Authors: Jaffal Hayder M. , Mohammed Tawfeeq W. , Wasmi Marwa H.
Published: January 2019

The sector of air-conditioning in the residential building consumes most of the total ‎electricity supplied for heating or cooling. Thus it has a major impact on the greenhouse gases and climate. Phase change ‎materials (PCMs) are regarded as a possible solution for reducing the energy consumption of ‎buildings by storing the heat and releasing it in certain times. The present study assists for the ‎utilization of PCMs in the roof of residential building to absorb the heat comes from solar ‎radiation during the daytime and releasing it to the inside nightly. Building considerations ‎as well as thermo-physical properties of PCMs have been taken and measured experimentally. ‎Results have shown that these materials have a good potential for reducing energy demand ‎and satisfy comfortable thermal conditions. The obtained readings, from a rig model built for that purpose, ‎showed that the indoor temperature could increase by 5-9oC in the winter compared to that ‎measured in a traditional one. Furthermore, a simulation program depended on degree-days ‎method explained that the energy consumption could be saved up to 75%. Thus PCMs could ‎submit encouraging suggestions toward the sustainability.‎

Clerking at the Supreme Court of Canada
Authors: McInnes Mitchell , Bolton Janet , Derzko Natalie
Published: January 2019

This article takes an in-depth look at the law clerks and the role they play at the Supreme Court of Canada. Such an examination both informs prospective clerks on the nature of the position and promotes a better general understanding of how the judicial process operates at this level.
The authors begin their analysis by looking at the history of the law clerks at the Supreme Court. Although the functions of the clerks have changed little since their introduction in 1968, the clerkship program has evolved with a changing Supreme Court, contributing to the institutions "coming of age."
The authors then shift their attention to examining the present clerkship program. The article first reveals the manner in which the clerks are selected by the Court. Using data collected by a questionnaire sent to clerks of the 1991-93 terms, the authors also attempt to convey, in a general way, some sense of the people who have served at the Court in recent years. Next, the major functions performed by the clerks are described. While the clerks do have a great deal of responsibility, the authors dispel much of the criticism directed at United States Supreme Court clerks by stating that the law clerks at the Supreme Court of Canada do not have an improper degree of authority.
The authors conclude that the clerking experience benefits both the clerks themselves and the procedures of the Court. As such, the law clerks are an entrenched and indispensable part of the judicial process at the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Evolution of Federal/Provincial Relations in Natural Resources Management
Authors: Blackman Susan , Keeping Janet , Ross Monique , Saunders J. Owen
Published: January 2019

Issues related to the management of natural resources have played an important role in federal provincial relations over the past quarter century. Due to Alberta's position as a major producer of natural resources in Canada, the province's role in the evolution of federalism over that period has been particularly influential. In this paper, the history of federal-Alberta relations concerning energy over the past twenty-five years is reviewed, noting in particular where conflicts between the two jurisdictions have been evident, and stressing general themes where they can be distinguished.
The Alberta approach to federalism reflects a different historical context than that of the Eastern provinces as a result of its economic dependence on natural resources and its relatively recent position of affluence. The ability of the province to make full use of its resources to diversify beyond a reliance on raw energy and agricultural markets is a driving force behind the insistence on control of resource exploitation and revenues. Thus, federal measures that threaten to impinge on the province's abilities to set its own priorities have typically been regarded with some hostility. However, Alberta's approach is not only ideological but also pragmatic, and objections that might be expected on an ideological basis have been notably absent when federal actions coincide with Alberta's own immediate interests.
The Role of the Supreme Court in the Development of a Canadian Law of Restitution
Authors: Rafferty Nicholas
Published: January 2019

In this essay, the author examines the emerging law of restitution and the peculiar and powerful contribution of the Supreme Court of Canada to its development and maturation. It is argued that the Supreme Court has assumed a leading role in fashioning the modern law of restitution in the Commonwealth. The first part of the paper traces the adoption and elaboration by the Canadian courts of a general principle of unjust enrichment with respect to both personal and proprietary claims. This involves an examination of specific cases in which the Supreme Court has embraced both the principle of unjust enrichment and the independent nature of the law of restitution. The essay then analyzes the contribution of the Supreme Court in applying that general principle across the full spectrum of restitutionary liability. Particular attention is focused upon the recognition of a defence of change of position, the recovery of benefits conferred under mistake, contribution among concurrent wrongdoers and the development of the remedial constructive trust. The author concludes that, despite the significant progress made by the Supreme Court, there are a number of areas in which further work is required to develop fully the principle of unjust enrichment.
The University of Calgary and the Universities Act: Telling the Story of Purposiveness
Authors: Dais Eugene E.
Published: January 2019

Departing from a conventional account of the history and events that culminated in the establishment of the University of Calgary, the author provides a purposive approach to the 1966 Universities Act. The author argues that as an enabling statute, the Act is an unfinishable legal fact. It exists as a framework to coordinate action to serve the public interest. As such, it calls for a complex purposive interpretation rooted in the theoretical underpinnings of moral legalism. Drawing on Dworkin's notion of interpretive integrity, the author demonstrates how ambiguities on the face of the Act can best be resolved by applying the principles of inclusive and pure integrity. The author's analysis reveals that the University of Calgary professoriat does not merely constitute a group of "scholarly servants", but rather a "company of scholars".
Hard Law, Soft Law and Diplomacy: The Emerging Paradigm for Intergovernmental Cooperation in Environmental Assessment
Authors: Kennett Steven A.
Published: January 2019

The author uses a paradigm derived from international law to assess the evolution of federal-provincial cooperation in environmental assessment (EA) in Canada. He examines the development of intergovernmental diplomacy and the evolution from soft to harder law through such measures as intergovernmental agreements on EA and legislation. Intergovernmental cooperation in EA is described in its constitutional context and its development is analyzed from a legal perspective. An examination of recent judicial decisions concerning major interjurisdictional projects underlines the need for cooperative EA arrangements. Four stages of the hardening of soft law are identified to illustrate how the legal framework for intergovernmental cooperation in EA may progress from general principles to formal intergovernmental arrangements and legally binding rules.
Retrenchment, Reform Or Revolution - The Shift to Incentives and the Future of the Regulatory State
Authors: Howse Robert
Published: January 2019

A shift to incentive-based instruments of regulation is often viewed as a solution to the defects and limits of the traditional regulatory state. This article argues that, although in some contexts incentive-oriented approaches are desirable, there are limits to the use of economics in the regulatory process, particularly with respect to defining the goals of regulation in a pluralist democracy. As well, traditional policy instruments can be altered, evolved or supplemented to allow for belter government. There are many ways that government can bring about basic social change that neither suggest a return to old command and control approaches nor an increased reliance on or deference to economically self-interested market behaviour. It is these alternative approaches that are most promising for advancing the unfinished agenda of the social welfare slate, through a better reconciliation of care with autonomy and choice with community.
Rewards in the Legal System: Tenure, Airbags, and Safety Bingo
Authors: Friedland M. L.
Published: January 2019

Rewards are now used extensively in universities, industry, prisons and many other settings. The author argues that their use should be extended and that sanctions should not be so heavily relied upon. There is, for example, great scope for further exploration and experimentation with rewards in the area of traffic safety. Modest rewards combined with peer pressure may produce desired objectives in certain cases.
Charter Rights and Regulation by Financial Incentives
Authors: Dais Eugene E.
Published: January 2019

This article challenges the conventional view that the Charter is not applicable to the protection of individuals from regulation by financial incentives. The Charter applies whenever individuals are coerced by government. This coercion can be direct and overt, as with punishment, but it can also be indirect and covert as in the case of regulation by licensing, the awarding of contracts and tax incentives. Regulation by financial incentives gives rise to the possibility of subtle coercion in the forms of clever dealing, unconscionable bargains, deceptive expectations and covert punishment. The author argues that the liberty schema of the Charter should apply when regulatory enticement is coercive and not purely facilitative.

Conviction Appeals to the Court of Appeal of Alberta: A Statistical Analysis, 1985-1992
Authors: McCormick Peter
Published: January 2019

Although the Provincial Courts of Appeal perform the same role within the Canadian judicial system, they do not share a similarity in caseload. Alberta's Court of Appeal is unique in the sense that although Alberta is the fourth largest province, it handles more conviction appeals as an absolute number than any other province. Through an analysis of various statistical surveys. McCormick explores this phenomenon. His work centres around conviction from 1985 to 1992 and it reveals trends that have developed during that time.

The survey instrument was based on that used by Professor Vale in his 1987 study of Ontario lawyers, which he very kindly shared with us. The following is Professor Vale's summary of our data.
By Her Own Authority: The Scope of Midwifery Practice under the Ontario Midwifery Act, 1991
Authors: Massey Elizabeth
Published: January 2019

Midwifery is recognized as an autonomous, self-governing profession under Ontario's Midwifery Act, 1991 and Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. The author discusses the implications of this new legislation and addresses how the Acts define the nature and scope of midwifery practice. Although the new regulatory model grants midwives legal and professional status, their statutory scope of practice is limited to "normal" pregnancy, labour and delivery. Within the new regulatory framework, the authority to define the meaning of "normal" remains with physicians. Therefore, the capacity to control the scope and availability of midwifery services lies in the hands of the medical profession, which has historically been opposed lo the autonomous practice of midwifery.
The author explores the other elements of the Midwifery Act, 1991, such as matters of assessment and diagnosis, and issues of potential liability, and whether or not these could hind midwifery practice by established medicine within the Ontario health care system.
In implementing the Acts, much consultation remains to be done among members of the relevant professional bodies and the public to balance competing interests and views, while ensuring quality health care and consumer choice.

ELEMENTOS FUNDAMENTAIS DA COSMOLOGIA DE GIORDANO BRUNO
Authors: Lopes Ideusa Celestino
Published: January 2019

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), filósofo italiano que tratou de temas que ainda não eram considerados relevantes na segunda metade do século, em particular a temática cosmológica, que ainda não estava em crise. O geocentrismo aristotélico-ptolomaico era aceito de modo incondicional no ambiente acadêmico, não havia um debate explícito em torno da descrição do mundo. Ao tratar do tema cosmológico Bruno introduz a tese do heliocentrismo copernicano, como referência, para se contrapor ao modelo geocêntrico aristotélico-ptolomaico. A temática cosmológica perpassa de certo modo o conjunto da sua obra, desde os primeiros escritos como o texto A ceia de cinzas, publicada em 1582 escrito em italiano, considerado como sendo a obra que introduz a questão; até um dos últimos textos, L'immenso e gli innumerevoli publicado em 1591, em latim e desse modo dirigido ao ambiente acadêmico. O modelo cosmológico bruniano apesar de fazer referência a Copérnico, ao incorporar a tese de que a Terra não está no centro do universo, mas o Sol, não pode ser considerado um copernicano pois defende o universo como sendo infinito e povoado de inumeráveis mundos, desconsiderando também a ideia de centro. Descrições que não são tratadas por Copérnico. Para justificar a sua concepção de mundo e de universo, Bruno elabora uma discussão sobre os princípios aristotélicos, matéria e forma, com o intuito de apresentar uma nova base a partir da qual a natureza seja compreendida e que possa sustentar a tese de que o universo é infinito e povoado de inumeráveis mundos.
OS SENTIDOS DA POBREZA NA FENOMENOLOGIA DO ESPÍRITO DE HEGEL
Authors: Novelli Pedro Geraldo Aparecido
Published: January 2019

A pobreza é definida enquanto um estado no qual alguém ou um país todo se encontra e que é marcado por uma grande carência de dinheiro, bens, posses e meios para se viver. O termo pobreza também pode ser empregado para qualificar a pouca ou inexistente qualidade de alguma coisa como uma casa ou o presente texto. O objetivo do presente texto é identificar e expor os possíveis significados da palavra pobreza, “Armut” no original em alemão, na Fenomenologia do Espírito de Hegel. A palavra é empregada por Hegel em quatro momentos bem específicos, mas que acabam por se destacar em figuras estruturais da Fenomenologia. A primeira menção se dá no Prefácio à obra que expressa o desconforto hegeliano de antecipar aí o que somente pode ser compreendido com o desenvolvimento da obra. A segunda menção acontece na seção dedicada à Certeza e à verdade da razão. A terceira menção ocorre na figura do Espírito na qual também a palavra pobreza é empregada pela quarta e última vez.

Present study deals with the sol-gel synthesis and application of α-Al2O3 nanoparticles (alumina) to decolorize the azo anionic dye methyl orange (MO). α-Al2O3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using aluminium oxide, 25% ammonia and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used as low cost raw materials. The properties of synthesized nanoparticles were investigated by using UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDAX, Raman spectroscopy and TEM. From UV–visible spectra, band gap was calculated and it was found to be 3.31 eV. Average crystal size of α-Al2O3 nanoparticles from XRD peaks found to be 25 nm having rhombohedral structure. FTIR spectra reveals that functional groups (O-Al-O) are present. SEM image shows distribution pattern of α-Al2O3 nanoparticles. Chemical composition of α-Al2O3 nanoparticles was confirmed from EDAX spectroscopy measurement. Raman spectra showed crystalline nature of α-Al2O3 nanoparticles. The effect of concentration and pH of dye, dosage of nano adsorbent and contact time were studied. The systematic study shows that, successful color removal of methyl orange dye up to 54% in three hours contact time of pH 4. Hence α-Al2O3 nanoparticles can be used for dye removal from waste water. Industrialization of this technique will be cost effective way to decolorize the textile dye present in water system.

Many maintain that earnings management is harmful. This literature study explains and describe the issue from the outside perspective of earnings management. This research  method  used  qualitative  with  literature  study. The  results  of  this  study  are Earnings management is not a fraud. Fraud is an “act of criminal deception” or a “deceitful  behavior  which  may  be  punished  by  law”.  Earnings  management  is within legitimate constraints, implying that the deviation of reported earnings from underlying  or  economic  earnings  due  to  earnings  management  is  legitimate  or authorized by accounting standards  and corporate laws.  The results of this study contribute  as  add  to  the  treasury  of  financial  accounting  literature,  especially accounting  theory.  The  results  of  this  research  have  important  implication  for regulators  and  lawmakers.  Regulators  tend  to  regard  earnings  management  as harmful and in the need of immediate remedial action.
TEORI AGENCY DALAM PEMIKIRAN ORGANISASI ; PENDEKATAN POSITIVIST DAN PRINCIPLE-AGEN

Agency theory has been used by researchers in accounting, economics, finance, marketing, political science, organizational behavior, and sociology. However, this theory is still surrounded by controversy. The purpose of this study is to describe the contribution of agency theory to organizations with a positivist and principalagent approach. This research method uses literature studies. The results of this study are agency theory giving two contributions specifically to organizational thinking. The first is the treatment of information. Organizations can intervene in information systems with the aim of controlling agent opportunism. The second is the risk implication. The organization is assumed to have uncertainty in the future. Results uncertainty combined with differences in willingness to accept risk will affect the contract between the principal and the agent. The idea of agency theory of risk, outcome uncertainty, incentives, and information systems is a new contribution to organizational thinking, and empirical evidence supports theory, especially when associated with complementary theoretical perspectives

Strawberry (Fragaria sp cv Holibert) is a non-climakteric fruit which have high value with high  consumer demand. Tropical environment conditions can deteriorate and decrease quality of their fruit. Objective of the research were to identify quality characteristics of fresh strawberry that storages in tropical environment with and without temperature controlled.Strawberry fruit were sampled from mountain area in Ketep, Magelang, Central Java. Several quality parameter were measured include physical parameter (fresh weight, weight loss, skin texture and color) and chemical parameter (water content, soluble solid content, vitamin C and titratable acidity). Then, fresh weight of strawberry were  compared with IQS 8026-2014 using control chart. Storage conditions were tropical condition without controlled temperature and controlled temperature at 4 oC and 10 oC. Result shown that chemical parameters of fresh strawberry were optimum at 4 oC storage condition for water content and soluble solid content. Physical parameter of fresh starwberry were better conditions at controlled environment. The standard quality  was confirmed with class 1 for weight averages >15-20 g/fruit for best fruit . Tropical conditions were deteriorate quality and shortage shelf life of the strawberry.

Published: January 2019

The photovoltaic (PV) solar electricity is no longer doubtful in its effectiveness in the process of rural communities’ livelihood transformation with solar water pumping system being regarded as the most important PV application. To overcome the intermittent and uncertain nature of solar power output, the highly fluctuating load demands and to supply loads at night time, a battery storage system is optimally sized, designed and implemented. The bi-directional Buck-Boost converter use and control are essential for energy management between the batteries and the pumping system. Domestic loads power calculation is also demonstrated and varied. Additionally, various inverter control schemes are examined and employed depending on the nature of the load connected. Finally, simulation results using Matlab/Simulink are presented for two cases: when the battery system is connected with the PV array to feed the pump motor to achieve the required varying hydraulic performance (flow rate and pumping head) under different weather conditions, and when the battery system feeds the loads while the PV array is disconnected at night.
