Development of Disruptive Open Access Journals
Authors: Anderson Terry , McConkey Brigette 
Published: December 2020

Open access (OA) publication has emerged, with disruptive effects, as a major outlet for scholarly publication. OA publication is usually associated with on-line distribution and provides access to scholarly publications to anyone, anywhere–regardless of their ability to pay subscription fees or their association with an educational institution. The article overviews the growth and impact of OA publication in Canada and elsewhere. The article also presents a case study of the evolution over its first nine years of the International Review of Research in Open and Distance Education (IRRODL). IRRODL has become the most widely read and widely cited journal in the distance education and open learning community, yet it continues to struggle for recognition by some academics, funding, and rating organizations.
In this article IRRODL’s editors document the challenges involved in leading the charge for equal support for open access journals from Canada’s research funding organizations and for review and accreditation from commercial and non-commercial review services. In its literature review section the article looks at scholarly works documenting and comparing on-line journals to ones that publish in paper only, or in which access is restricted behind the walls of licensed use.

The article also documents issues related to various innovations, including production of articles in both text and audio formats, and the challenges of incorporating more interactive media into a scholarly, peer- reviewed journal. Data is produced demonstrating the ways in which 72 CJHE / RCES Volume 39, No. 3, 2009 influence and impact for open access journals can be measured, including hit rates and citations reference data from Google Scholar. The article concludes with a description and discussion of the advantages and challenges of using review and publication management tools such as Open Journal System in the production of open access journals.
The Academic Profession in Canada: Perceptions of Canadian University Faculty about Research and Teaching
Authors: Gopaul Bryan , Jones Glen A , Weinrib Julian , Metcalfe Amy , Fisher Donald , Gingras Yves , Rubenson Kjell 
Published: December 2020

Previous scholarly attention to the experiences of faculty members has emphasized the contexts of US institutions, with minimal attention to the experiences of faculty members at Canadian universities. This paper presents the findings of the Canadian component of an international survey that was administered in 19 different jurisdictions to understand the perceptions of faculty members about the nature and scope of changes to academic work. As such, the paper explores the perceptions on research and teaching of full-time faculty members affiliated with Canadian universities. Overall, faculty members revealed that Canadian universities have strong, engaging, and vibrant research and teaching environments, yet there are also areas for improvement. Specifically, findings showed that faculty members perceived considerable autonomy with respect to research activities, despite the increasing need to secure external funding for research. Also, faculty expressed substantial commitment to teaching undergraduate students but a lack of clarity about some issues related to graduate teaching. The survey results provide an important baseline for future studies of Canadian universities and the working conditions of the professoriate in a time of rapid institutional and professional change.
Correlates of Depression in First-Year College Students
Authors: Villatte Aude , Marcotte Diane , Potvin Alexandra 
Published: December 2020

This study aimed to identify and rank the personal, family-related, social, and academic correlates of depressive symptoms in first-year college students. A questionnaire that included the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was administered to 389 first-year college students (mean age = 18.9; SD = 3.38; 59.4% female). Eight variables contributed uniquely to the variance of depressive symptoms and were, in decreasing order of importance: (1) the absence of personal goals, (2) a high level of anxiety and (3) of dysfunctional thoughts regarding success, (4) a lack of emotional adjustment to college, (5) being female, (6) receiving little warmth and encouragement of autonomy from one’s mother and (7) from one’s father, and (8) being attracted to members of the opposite or both sexes. These results suggest that a multimodal intervention is required to support students’ mental health.

LEGISLATIVE ACCOUNTABILITY: SHOULD BRAZIL BREAK UP ITS BIG ELECTORAL DISTRICTS?
Authors: Carey John M. 
Published: December 2020

This paper proposes that Brazil could improve the political accountability by breaking up many of the statewide districts it uses to elect its deputies into smaller districts, each electing fewer deputies. The central argument is that districts that elect low-to-moderate numbers of legislators make it possible to optimize the well-known trade-off between inclusive representation and accountable government. I suggest there are three broad goals that we should seek in legislative representation; representativeness, collective accountability, and Individual accountability. I acknowledge that there are inevitable trade-offs among these goals, but I suggest that the trade-offs are not linear, and that electoral rules can be designed to maximize the quality of representation. I suggest that the most straightforward way to achieve such gains is by maintaining proportional representation systems of elections, but by limiting district magnitude (the number of representatives elected per district) to moderate levels, in the range from 4 to 8.

ALTRUÍSTAS OU OPORTUNISTAS? UMA ANÁLISE DOS PEQUENOS PARTIDOS NAS COLIGAÇÕES ELEITORAIS (1998-2014) / ALTRUISTS OR OPPORTUNISTS? AN ANALYSIS OF SMALL POLITITCAQL PARTIES IN THE ELECTORAL COALITIONS (1998-2014)

Published: December 2020

Este artigo investiga como os pequenos partidos se comportam em coligações eleitorais para eleições proporcionais. Para isso, testa a hipótese do esforço mínimo, examinada por Lima Jr (1983), segundo a qual os pequenos partidos atuam de modo oportunista ao participar das coligações, ou seja, são beneficiados com a obtenção de mais cadeiras na Câmara dos Deputados que os partidos grandes ou médios. Metodologicamente, o desenho de pesquisa combina estatística descritiva e multivariada para analisar o banco de dados de Nascimento et al (2016), que cataloga o desempenho eleitoral de todos os partidos políticos por unidade federativa entre 1998 e 2014. Os resultados encontrados refutam o argumento do esforço mínimo, já que: a) são os grandes partidos que obtém mais cadeiras dentro das coligações, enquanto os pequenos ganham menos e b) os pequenos partidos atuam de maneira altruísta nas coligações, cedendo cadeiras aos médios e grandes.
Mass spectrometric multiple soil-gas flux measurement system with a portable high-resolution mass spectrometer (MULTUM) coupled to an automatic chamber for continuous field observations

Abstract. We developed a mass spectrometric soil-gas flux
measurement system using a portable high-resolution multi-turn time-of-flight
mass spectrometer, called MULTUM, and we combined it with an automated
soil-gas flux chamber for the continuous field measurement of multiple gas
concentrations with a high temporal resolution. The developed system
continuously measures the concentrations of four different atmospheric gases (NO2, CH4, CO2, and field soil–atmosphere flux measurements of greenhouse gases (NO2, O2) ranging over 6 orders of magnitude at one time using a single gas sample. The measurements are performed every 2.5 min with an analytical precision (2 standard deviations) of ±34 ppbv for NO2; ±170 ppbv, CH4; ±16 ppmv, CO2; and ±0.60 vol %, O2 at their atmospheric concentrations. The developed system was used for the continuous field soil–atmosphere flux measurements of greenhouse gases (NO2, CH4, and CO2) and O2 with a 1 h resolution. The minimum quantitative fluxes (2 standard deviations) were estimated via a simulation as 70.2 µgNm-2h-1 for NO2; 139 µgCm-2h-1, CH4; 11.7 mg C m−2 h−1, CO2; and
9.8 g O2 m−2 h−1, O2. The estimated minimum detectable fluxes (2 standard deviations) were 17.2 µgNm-2h-1 for NO2; 35.4 µgCm-2h-1, CH4; 2.6 mg C m−2 h−1, CO2; and 2.9 g O2 m−2 h−1, O2. The
developed system was deployed at the university farm of the Ehime University (Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan) for a field observation over 5 d. An abrupt increase in NO2 flux from 70 to 682 µgNm-2h-1 was observed a few hours after the first rainfall, whereas no obvious increase was observed in CO2 flux. No abrupt NO2 flux change was observed in succeeding rainfall events, and the observed temporal responses at the first rainfall were different from those observed in a laboratory experiment. The observed differences in temporal flux variation for each gas component show that gas production processes and their responses for each gas component in the soil are different. The results of this study indicate that continuous multiple gas concentration and flux measurements can be employed as a
powerful tool for tracking and understanding underlying biological and physicochemical processes in the soil by measuring more tracer gases such as
volatile organic carbon, reactive nitrogen, and noble gases, and by
exploiting the broad versatility of mass spectrometry in detecting a broad
range of gas species.

Abstract. Forest disturbance and regrowth are key processes in
forest dynamics, but detailed information on these processes is difficult to
obtain in remote forests such as the Amazon. We used chronosequences of
Landsat satellite imagery (Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper and Landsat 7 Enhanced
Thematic Mapper Plus) to determine the sensitivity of surface reflectance
from all spectral bands to windthrow, clear-cut, and clear-cut and burned
(cut + burn) and their successional pathways of forest regrowth in the
Central Amazon. We also assessed whether the forest demography model
Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) implemented
in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) Land Model
(ELM), ELM-FATES, accurately represents the changes for windthrow and
clear-cut. The results show that all spectral bands from the Landsat satellites
were sensitive to the disturbances but after 3 to 6 years only the
near-infrared (NIR) band had significant changes associated with the
successional pathways of forest regrowth for all the disturbances
considered. In general, the NIR values decreased immediately after disturbance,
increased to maximum values with the establishment of pioneers and
early successional tree species, and then decreased slowly and almost
linearly to pre-disturbance conditions with the dynamics of forest
succession. Statistical methods predict that NIR values will return to
pre-disturbance values in about 39, 36, and 56 years for windthrow,
clear-cut, and cut + burn disturbances, respectively. The NIR band captured the
observed, and different, successional pathways of forest regrowth
after windthrow, clear-cut, and cut + burn. Consistent with inferences from the NIR
observations, ELM-FATES predicted higher peaks of biomass and stem density
after clear-cuts than after windthrows. ELM-FATES also predicted recovery of
forest structure and canopy coverage back to pre-disturbance conditions in
38 years after windthrows and 41 years after clear-cut. The similarity of
ELM-FATES predictions of regrowth patterns after windthrow and clear-cut to
those of the NIR results suggests the NIR band can be used to benchmark forest
regrowth in ecosystem models. Our results show the potential of Landsat
imagery data for mapping forest regrowth from different types of
disturbances, benchmarking, and the improvement of forest regrowth models.

Abstract. Soil respiration is an important carbon flux and key process determining the net ecosystem production of terrestrial ecosystems. To address the lack of quantification and understanding of seasonality in soil respiration of tropical forests in the Congo Basin, soil CO2 fluxes and potential controlling factors were measured annually in two dominant forest types (lowland and montane) of the Congo Basin over 2 years at varying temporal resolution. Soil CO2 fluxes from the Congo Basin resulted in 3.45 ± 1.14 and 3.13 ± 1.22 µmol CO2 m−2 s−1 for lowland and montane forests, respectively. Soil CO2 fluxes in montane forest soils showed a clear seasonality with decreasing flux rates during the dry season. Montane forest soil CO2 fluxes were positively correlated with soil moisture, while CO2 fluxes in the lowland forest were not. Smaller differences of δ13C values of leaf litter, soil organic carbon (SOC), and soil CO2 indicated that SOC in lowland forests is more decomposed than in montane forests, suggesting that respiration is controlled by C availability rather than environmental factors. In general, C in montane forests was more enriched in 13C throughout the whole cascade of carbon intake via photosynthesis, litterfall, SOC, and soil CO2 compared to lowland forests, pointing to a more open system. Even though soil CO2 fluxes are similarly high in lowland and montane forests of the Congo Basin, the drivers of them seem to be different, i.e., soil moisture for montane forest and C availability for lowland forest.
