Authors: Donizzetti Anna Rosa , Petrillo Giovanna 
Published: June 2021

La(HLCS) per adolescenti, di cui si presenta uno studio di validazione, č un originale strumento volto a rilevare l'orientamento diriferito alla salute negli adolescenti. Sono stati coinvolti 1469 partecipanti, quasi equamente distribuiti per sesso (44.0% maschi e 56.0% femmine) e con un'etŕ media di 16.6 anni (DS = 1.43). Analisi fattoriali esplorative e confermative hanno evidenziato una struttura tridimensionale della HLCS, che nella versione finale consta di 15 item e presenta soddisfacenti proprietŕ psicometriche sia nel campione generale sia nei sub-campioni. Inoltre, analisi correlazionali ne hanno dimostrato la validitŕ convergente e discriminante. I risultati mostrano l'utilitŕ dello strumento per la rilevazione delle credenze degli adolescenti circa il controllo della propria salute fisica anche in popolazioni diversificate per sesso, etŕ e formazione.

Authors: Pierini Federica , Gremigni Paola , Gualandi Paola , Franzoni Emilio , Ricci Bitti Pio Enrico 
Published: June 2021

Introduzione: I pazienti con Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare (DCA) presentano una ridotta qualitŕ di vita connessa alla salute (HRQoL). Studi sul coping indicano inoltre una tendenza delle donne con DCA a usare strategie di evitamento piů delle persone sane, ma sono rare le ricerche che valutano l'impatto del coping sulla HRQoL in adolescenti con DCA, perciň questo studio ha lo scopo di indagare questa relazione.Metodo: 30 ragazze di 12-18 anni (etŕ media 15.52 &plusmn;1.70 anni) con DCA (Anoressia Nervosa e Bulimia Nervosa) in trattamento ambulatoriale o intensivo in ricovero ospedaliero, hanno completato alcuni questionari su sintomi del DCA, stili di coping e HRQoL.Risultati: Le pazienti non differiscono significativamente sul coping e sulla HRQoL in relazione ai due tipi di trattamento, pertanto č stato formato un unico gruppo a partire dai due iniziali. L'analisi della regressione multipla indica che strategie di coping centrate sull'accettazione e la ristrutturazione degli eventi stressanti e la scarsa ricerca di sostegno sociale sono associate con una piů scarsa HRQoL.Discussione: I risultati sottolineano un importante ruolo del coping in relazione alla HRQoL in adolescenti con DCA e suggeriscono l'insegnamento di strategie di coping efficaci come componente del trattamento specifico di queste pazienti.
Modified Logistical Creep Strain Prediction Method : A Constitutive Creep Strain Model Of A Nickel Based Super-Alloy
Authors: Seif Amir 
Published: June 2021

<p>In turbine blade design, all three stages of creep are of concern. Moreover, for most commonly employed materials, creep rupture data is readily available where as long term creep strain data is not [1]. Recently, effort has been expended by many researchers in the development of material models incorporating all three stages of creep at varying stress and temperatures. Several developed models are complex or burdened by large numbers of material fitting constants. There is need for the development of a constitutive creep strain prediction formulation that is simplistic and requires minimal empirical data. In this thesis, the creep strain model proposed by Holmstrom et al., called the Logistic Creep Strain Prediction (LCSP) method was modified and used to model all three stages of creep of the well known nickel based super alloy Inconel 718 [1]. The LCSP is robustness and accurate, and possesses a simplistic formulation ideal for algebraic manipulation and differentiation making it a very attractive solution. </p>
Million Dollar Babies : Identifying And Analyzing Million Dollar Photographs Sold At Auction From 2005 Until 2011
Authors: Zolnai Robyn S. 
Published: June 2021

<p>The market for fine art photography has escalated in recent years, with 41 photographs – the Million Dollar Babies – selling for over a million dollars at hammer price during live auctions between 2005 and 2011. These photographs represent the culmination of a long process whereby photography has assumed a place in museums and auction houses alongside other traditional art forms. This thesis seeks to provide a general understanding of this process, assessing the role of museums, galleries, and collectors in shaping the medium; more specifically, this thesis will examine the 41 photographs and the 12 photographers responsible for their production in an analysis of the variables that affect the financial value of fine art in general and photography in particular. </p>

This	masters research project, All Kinds of People, All Kinds of Ways, proposes that gender is a constructed concept produced	by colonial, capitalist, and patriarchal structures. This is illustrated through a three-channel video installation of	the same name that utilizes conversations with two-spirit, Anishinaabe participants whose traditions express the fluidity	of gender	identity. The research done in	this paper further supports these discussions	through an analysis	of feminist and	queer theory, as well as a look at	various cultures around the world that have similar understandings of non-fixed gender.
Enhanced Stewardship Over Scarce Non-Profit Resources : Restructuring Non-Profit Accountability to Give Clients Greater Voice
Authors: Wall Steven 
Published: June 2021

<p>This study examines the accountability profiles of 44 non-profit social services organizations operating in the City of Toronto from the perspectives of Senior Executives working within them. Not unexpectedly, this study confirms an accountability bias based on an imposed system of accountability dominated by upward financial accounting to government funders. This paper suggests that non-profit organizations must move beyond imposed systems of accountability to achieve a more productive, better balanced and holistic accountability. A proposal is forwarded for enhanced stewardship over non-profit resources through a strategy that calls for non-profit organizations to reorient their accountability profiles to give clients greater voice through mechanisms of downward accountability. This study provides an introductory framework for accountability to clients, as well as an inventory of the downward mechanisms of accountability found in the 44 non-profit social services organizations studied. </p>

"A Snake Charmer with a Camera" : Nina Leen's Contributions to Life Magazine: 1940-1972
Authors: Levitsky Erin 
Published: June 2021

Nina	Leen (c. 1909–1995) was a Russian-born émigré photographer who worked for Life magazine from 1940–1972, contributing photographs to stories published in 374 issues. Leen’s photography received little attention following her death, as her working method, oeuvre, and character depart from those of the archetypal photojournalist. Using digital reproductions of Leen’s photographic prints and negatives from the Life Photo Collection, a full run of Life, and archival documents housed in the Time Inc. Records at the New-York Historical Society, this thesis evaluates Leen’s contributions to both Life magazine and the field of photojournalism. An introduction, literature survey, and methodological description contextualize Leen’s career. Two appendices and a list of figures present images selected in this thesis, and the issues and sections of Life in which Leen’s photographs were published. Three chapters discuss the beginning of Leen’s career and her typical approach to magazine photography, and two chapters analyze the years leading up to Life’s conclusion as a weekly magazine, when Leen held more command over her output.
The Public Lives of Private Family Albums: a Case Study in Collections and Exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Ontario and Max Dean: Album
Authors: Rigg Heather 
Published: June 2021

<p>This thesis uses Toronto artist Max Dean's performance Max Dean: Album, produced in conjunction with the Art Gallery of Ontario, as a case study to investigate the complex issues involved in the display and recirculation of private family albums in the public space of the art gallery.</p>
<p>A survey of the critical literature that addresses the placement of vernacularobjects such as family albums and snapshots in the art gallery functions as a preamble to a series of interviews done with scholars, academics and curators in the fields of photography and art history. Drawing on the results of these interviews, this paper examines the challenges that arise when family albums are publicly displayed and exhibited. Terry Barrett's methodology of investigating the context of photographs is considered and applied to family albums and to Dean's Album project, analyzing how his public performance provides a creative solution to the issues raised. </p>
Simultaneous removal of COD and ammonia from high-strength wastewater in a three-phase fluidized bed reactor
Authors: Wan Li 
Published: June 2021

<p> </p>
<p>A major challenge of Environmental Engineering is the efficient treatment of wastewater containing high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia. This work addresses that challenge by designing, building, operating and developing a three-phase fluidized bed reactor (TFBR). The TFBR is designed to aerobically remove COD as well as ammonia from a 1,500 L/day of high-strength wastewater containing 5,000 mg/L COD and 230 mg/L ammonia in a short hydraulic residence time of 8 h. Experiments with water and air show that the TFBR provides complete fluidization with the designed liquid and gas flow rates. Furthermore, the oxygen transfer is at least an order magnitude higher than that obtained in previous studies. Under the designed condition, it is found that the TFBR removes 91.7% COD and 56.7% ammonia from the high-strength wastewater, and carries the effluent low concentration suspended solids at the same time. The ammonia removal is found to increase to 75% with a higher-than-design influent COD of 6,000 mg/L, which is responsible for more biomass available for ammonia utilization. The corresponding COD removal however decreases to 84.5%. The treatment carried out in this work is the first of its kind, and the developed TFBR is very promising because it offers effective removal of COD and ammonia from heavily polluted wastewaters in shorter residence times with reduced sludge generation.</p>
Curvature Limitations In Bridge Codes
Authors: Khalafalla Imad Eldin Ahmed E. 
Published: June 2021

<p>In recent years, horizontally curved bridges have been widely used in congested urban areas, where multi- level interchange structures are necessary for modem highways. A series of horizontally curved bridges were analyzed in this study using a commercial finite-element program, ABAQUS. In each analysis, the behavior of bridges was investigated, and the major internal forces developed in the members were determined. Specifically, stresses, vertical deflections, vertical reactions and natural frequencies for different values of the horizontal angle of curvature. These values compared with the values of a straight bridge of similar span and cross-section configuration. Bridges taken into account were single and twospan horizontally curved concrete slab bridges, concrete T -beam bridges, concrete cellular bridges, concrete box girder bridges, slab-on-steel !-girder bridges, and composite steel box girder bridges. The design parameters considered were degree of curvature, span length, number of lanes, number of girders and/or boxes, and span-to-depth ratio. The stipulation made in bridge codes for treating a curved bridge as straight one is examined. Based on the data generated from the parametric study, sets of empirical expressions were developed to evaluate stress, deflection, reaction, and frequency distribution factors in a curved bridge system as related to a straight bridge system. Then these expressions were extended to establish more reliable expressions for curvature limitation to treat a curved bridge as straight one. </p>
A database development and analysis of selected side impact collisions in Toronto
Authors: Bou-Younes John Zaki 
Published: June 2021

This thesis is based on the initial phase of a project that developed an in-depth collision database and performed an analysis of police reported side-impact collisions for the City of Toronto intersections between 1998 and 2000. Currently, collision data exists through several different sources in Ontario. The development of a database involving the amalgamation of collision forms, the selection of data fields, and the collection of real collision data from selected, thoroughly investigated side impact collisions involving late model vehicles (1998 and newer), is described. For analysis, Statistical Analysis Software Release 8.02 was used to investigate causation and causal factors of side impact collisions. Statistically significant collision factors determined by fault propensity included apparent driver action, driver age, front seat passenger age, maximum posted speed, approximate vehicle speed, road character, and number of lanes. For intersection collision propensity, statistically significant findings included the system used, presence of flashing signals, intersection legs, roadway volume, and intersection leg road classifications. It is anticipated that the findings from this analysis can provide insight into significant factors in side-impact collisions that will be applied with greater focus to the in-depth collision database, once developed.

Authors: Otke Zachary Edward 
Published: June 2021

<p>Habitat suitability index (HSI) models were developed for the wood frog (Rana sylvatica) and for the boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris triseriata maculata) in the Foothills Parkland Natural Sub-region and Bow River Sub-basin in west-central Alberta. The models are based on key habitat variables that had significant relationships with the . . population estimates detennined from night calling surveys. The models were first derived from literature that was related to ·wood frog and boreal chorus frog habitat and then tested in the field. Using chi-square analysis with a significance level of 0.01, fish presence, water movement, and dominant vegetation were discovered to be key habitat variables for both species. The key habitat variables for each species were integrated into HSI models. The HSI models can bt} used to determine the baseline and future quality of habitat for each species. </p>
An Investigation For Optimal Tool Kinematics In Powder Compaction Cycle To Minimize Density Gradient In Green Powder Compacts
Authors: Kostiv Orest 
Published: June 2021

<p>The major disadvantage of powder metallurgy (PM) is the density variation throughout the powder compact. During the compaction process, due to the existence of friction at powdertool interfaces, the contact surfaces experience a non-uniform stress distribution having to do with a variable friction coefficient and tool kinematics, consequently resulting in density gradient throughout the green powder compact. This represents a serious problem in terms of reliability and performance as it may contribute to a crack-defect generation during the compaction and ejection cycle, and more importantly a non-uniform powder compact shrinkage during the sintering process. The geometrical distortion caused by non-uniform shrinkage may require secondary operations, thus, compromising the competiveness of PM technology. Simulation analyses, consisting of two parts, were conducted to study and suppress the causes of density variation. First, simulation analyses were conducted using a newly proposed friction-assisted compaction technique for compaction of cylindrical parts. Second study extended to a more complex geometry, consisting of a multi-stepped part, which indirectly used friction-assisted compaction by varying the tool kinematics of the press system. The overall focus of both studies was to establish optimal tool kinematics in powder compaction cycle to minimize density gradient in both cylindrical and multi-stepped green powder compacts. Consequently, optimal tool kinematics were determined producing the least variation in density throughout the corresponding powder compacts. </p>

Published: June 2021

A COVID19 járványhelyzet következtében más magyarországi felsőoktatási intézményekhez hasonlóan 2020-ban a Milton Friedman Egyetem is átállt a távoktatásra, amelynek tapasztalatairól kérdőíves felmérés készült 2020 nyári szemeszterének végén. Online vizsgálatunkban oktatókat (80%-os válaszadási arány) és hallgatókat (23%-os válaszadói arány) kérdeztünk meg a digitális oktatásra való átállás és az online oktatás előnyeiről, hátrányairól, általános tapasztalatairól. Célunk többek között az volt, hogy e tapasztalatok segítségével feltérképezzük a digitális oktatás fejlesztendő területeit intézményünkben és következtetéseket vonjuk le a jövőben alkalmazandó módszerekkel kapcsolatban. Kérdőívünk kitért a tanulási környezet, a tantermi tevékenységek, a tanulásszervezés és annak módszertana, az értékelés, a tartalom-, tananyagközvetítés és a kommunikáció jelenségeire is. Tanulmányunkban a tartalom-, tananyagközvetítés és a kommunikáció valós és késleltetett formáival kapcsolatos oktatói és hallgatói attitűdöket mutatjuk be és megvizsgáljuk a hibrid oktatási formák támogatottságát és a támogatottság okait. As a result of the COVID19 pandemic, Milton Friedman University as other higher education institutions in Hungary switched to distance education in 2020. The questionnaire survey presented in this paper was conducted at the end of its summer 2020 semester. In the online survey, the authors asked instructors (80% response rate) and students (23% response rate) about the advantages, disadvantages, and general experiences of transitioning to digital education and online education. The goal was to use these experiences to map the areas of digital education that need to be developed in our institution and draw conclusions about the methods to be applied in the future. The questionnaire also covered the learning environment's issues, classroom activities, learning organization, methodology, assessment, content development, curriculum delivery, and communication. In this study, the authors present teacher and student attitudes towards online learning (distant education) and investigate the support of hybrid forms of education and the reasons leading to this support.
Démonok az aranykorban - A foglalkoztatási környezet és a gazdasági aktivitás alakulása a világjárvány előtt

Published: June 2021

Magyarországon az elmúlt évtized második fele bizonyos értelemben "aranykornak" tekinthető. Ekkorra a gazdaság már kilábalt a kétezres évek végén ránk tört világgazdasági válságból, ugyanakkor konjunkturális haladás indult el. Ezzel szoros összefüggésben a munkaerőpiacon folytatódtak a kedvező fejlemények. A mostani évtized nyitásakor ránk támadt koronavírus okozta egészségügyi világjárvány mélyen érinti a gazdasági-társadalmi viszonyainkat. Elemzésünkben arra vállalkozunk, hogy az említett aranykor demográfiai, gazdasági, továbbá munkaerő-piaci főbb tényezőit számba vegyük, annak érdekében, hogy ezen tényezők válság utáni helyzetének, alakulásának látásához egyfajta lehetséges támasztékot, bázist adjunk. Emellett éppen az egészségügyi járvány, illetve annak hatásai majdani elemzése érdekében, mintegy természetes módon kiemelten foglalkozunk a válság előtti időszak lakossági egészségességi állapotának egyes főbb jellemzőivel.In Hungary, the second part of the latest decade can in some sense called a „golden era”. By this time, the economy had recovered from the world economic crisis burst out in the late 2000s, and conjunctural development started. In close relation to this, favourable improvements appeared on the labour market. The world pandemic caused by Corona virus having attacked us at the opening of this decade is having a deep impact on our socio-economic circumstances. In this analysis, I undertake to consider the main demographic, economic and labour market factors of the mentioned golden era in order to provide a base for the picture of the evolution of these elements after the crisis. In addition, exactly for the sake of the future analyzation of the crisis and its impacts, I highlight the main characteristics of the people’s health conditions before the crisis.
