description: We discuss the analysis and stability of a family of cross-diffusion boundary value problems with nonlinear diffusion and drift terms. We assume that these systems are close, in a suitable sense, to a set of decoupled and linear problems. We focus on stability estimates, that is, continuous dependence of solutions with respect to the nonlinearities in the diffusion and in the drift terms. We establish well-posedness and stability estimates in an appropriate Banach space. Under additional assumptions we show that these estimates are time independent. These results apply to several problems from mathematical biology; they allow comparisons between the solutions of different models a priori. For specific cell motility models from the literature, we illustrate the limit of the stability estimates we have derived numerically, and we document the behaviour of the solutions for extremal values of the parameters.

description: Purpose: To explore patients’ and parents’ involvement in the formative assessment of undergraduate nursing students’ paediatric clinical practice. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with paediatric patients between 14 to 18 years old and parents who received care from a nursing student while admitted to a paediatric tertiary care hospital in Canada. We analysed the data using qualitative content analysis as well as Lincoln and Guba's criteria for establishing trustworthiness. The Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative studies (COREQ) checklist was completed for the quality appraisal of this article. Findings: Three categories emerged from the data: 1) how patients and parents are currently involved in the formative assessment of nursing students’ paediatric clinical practice; 2) how patients and parents would prefer to be involved in the formative assessment of nursing students’ paediatric clinical practice; and 3) the potential benefits and challenges of involving patients and parents in the formative assessment of nursing students’ paediatric clinical practice. Conclusion: This study provided an understanding of patients’ and parents’ past encounters with nursing students and the elements of care that they have assessed as well as those that they would prefer to assess and provide feedback on, while considering the potential benefits and challenges of their involvement. The findings of this study will assist clinical instructors in determining how and when to involve patients and parents in the assessment of nursing students. Academic institutions offering nursing programmes should consider the study findings when improving or changing formative assessment strategies.

subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: We consider the residential energy storage management system with integrated renewable generation, with the availability of bidirectional energy flow from and to the grid thorough buying and selling. We propose a real-time bidirectional energy control algorithm, aiming to minimize the net system cost, due to energy buying and selling and battery deterioration and inefficiency from storage activities, within a given time period, subject to the battery operational constraints and energy buying and selling constraints. We formulate the problem as a stochastic control optimization problem. We then modify and transform this difficult problem into one that enables us to develop the real-time energy control algorithm through Lyapunov optimization. Our developed algorithm is applicable to arbitrary and unknown statistics of renewable generation, load, and electricity prices. It provides a simple closed-form control solution only based on current system states with minimum complexity for real-time implementation. Furthermore, the solution structure reveals how the battery energy level and energy prices affect the decision on energy flow and storage. The proposed algorithm possesses a bounded performance guarantee to that of the optimal non-causal T-slot look-ahead control policy. Simulation shows the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm as compared with alternative real-time and non-causal algorithms, as well as the effect of selling-to-buying price ratio and battery inefficiency on the storage behavior and system cost.

description: At various times in the past, the San Pedro Valley of southeastern Arizona was home to the ancestors of four contemporary American Indian tribes: Tohono O'odham, Hopi, Zuni, and Western Apache. Collaborative ethnohistoric research with these four tribes was conducted to explore multiple tribal histories drawing on concepts of cultural landscapes as memory. Members of each tribe use archaeological sites in the San Pedro Valley as monuments to substantiate their unique community history and worldview. A model of cultural landscapes encompassing variables of absolute, relative, and representational time and space was developed to enable us to better understand the interpretations of the past revealed by tribal research participants. American Indian concepts of landscape and history are brought into further focus through considerations of the ways in which archaeologists have appropriated ancestral sites for scientific inquiry. Differing conceptualizations of cultural landscapes in the San Pedro Valley are illustrated using the Reeve Ruin and Davis Ruin, occupied in the fourteenth century, as examples.

description: Hybrid Lead halide perovskites, despite having unique intrinsic properties with the possibility of flexible synthesis and device fabrication, still suffer from two fundamental issues, i.e. stability in external environment and toxicity due to lead. More recently, double perovskite materials have emerged as a promising choice. The main outcome from various studies on this class can essentially be summarized into two categories, (i) either they have indirect band gap or (ii) direct but large optical band gap, which are not suitable for solar devices. Here we propose a combinatorial set of stable double perovskite materials, Cs$_2$BB$^{'}$X$_6$ (for various B, B$^{'}$) (X=Cl,Br,I), which show indirect to direct band gap transition via small Pb$^{+2}$ doping. This kind of doping has helped to change the topology of band structure triggering an optically allowed transition from valence band maxima to conduction band minima. It also reduces the band gap significantly, bringing it well in the visible region. Simulation reveals comparable/higher absorption coefficient and solar efficiency with respect to the state of the art photovoltaic absorber material CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$. Our experimentally measured properties on Cs$_2$(Ag$_{0.75}$Pb$_{0.25}$)(Bi$_{0.75}$Pb$_{0.25}$)Br$_6$ agrees fairly well with the theoretical predictions. With higher stability than CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$, this material shows the potential to be a better candidate.

description: Les changements climatiques ont et auront des implications importantes pour la gestion des eaux transfrontalières. Une gestion adaptative est essentielle afin de protéger et préserver les acquis socio-économiques des populations riveraines. Cette analyse a comme objectif d’évaluer la flexibilité des dispositions du traité du fleuve Columbia (TFC) en termes de mécanismes d’allocation flexible, de dispositions en cas d’événements extrêmes, d’institutions de gestion, et de procédures d’amendement et de révision, et ce, dans un contexte où les projections en termes d’approvisionnement en eau de qualité sont désuètes et que les estimations des comportements hydrologiques sont encore incertains. Basé sur les indicateurs développés par Fischendler et McCaffrey, nous concluons que le TFC est partiellement flexible. Cette analyse identifie les déficiences du traité, mais également les pratiques exemplaires, lesquelles pourraient être répliquées dans les autres fleuves et rivières internationaux. Les conclusions de notre analyse informent également les décideurs qui prévoient renégocier le traité et déterminer sa continuation post-2024.

description: We discuss a mean-field theory of generation of large-scale vorticity in a rotating density stratified developed turbulence with inhomogeneous kinetic helicity. We show that the large-scale nonuniform flow is produced due to ether a combined action of a density stratified rotating turbulence and uniform kinetic helicity or a combined effect of a rotating incompressible turbulence and inhomogeneous kinetic helicity. These effects result in the formation of a large-scale shear, and in turn its interaction with the small-scale turbulence causes an excitation of the large-scale instability (known as a vorticity dynamo) due to a combined effect of the large-scale shear and Reynolds stress-induced generation of the mean vorticity. The latter is due to the effect of large-scale shear on the Reynolds stress. A fast rotation suppresses this large-scale instability.

description: Abstract

Salinity represents a major challenge to plant growth, prompting exploration of strategies to improve resistance. This study focuses on Lavandula dentata and its associations with the halophytes Atriplex prostrata and Plantago macrorhiza under salt stress conditions. Key morphological and physiological parameters were analyzed, including biomass, above-ground length, root length, root volume, leaf water content, chlorophyll, proline, and total sugar content. The results show that combining Lavandula dentate with the halophytes Atriplex prostrata and Plantago macrorhiza produced significant improvements over cultivation alone. Biomass increased by 35%, above-ground length by 25%, and root length by 40% in the presence of halophytes, while leaf water content rose by 15% and chlorophyll by 20%, while proline content fell by 10%. The correlation results show significant correlations between several physiological parameters, including a strong correlation of 0.856 between biomass and length of aerial part, as well as other notable associations between the different parameters measured. Concerning principal component analysis (PCA), the first two principal components explain 81.4% and 8.2% of the total variance, respectively. Prin1 is mainly influenced by biomass, above-ground length, and chlorophyll content, while Prin2 is influenced by biomass, above-ground length, and total sugar content. These analyses offer valuable insights into the interactions and adaptations of Lavandula dentata in response to salt stress, potentially applicable to optimizing plant resilience in saline environments.

Cultural sensitivity

description: Children from Newcomer populations (i.e., immigrants, refugees) face high rates of traumatic exposure (e.g., abuse, neglect, family violence, persecution, war, displacement, poverty). There is a need for interventions to help re-orient these children on pathways of resilience. Using trauma-sensitive sport programming can be an effective means to support healing, through designing safe spaces, fostering supportive adult-child relationships, and offering structured opportunities to engage in competitive physical activities and skill-building. However, much of the limited research on trauma-sensitive sport has been done with Western populations; greater research is needed on how to accommodate the unique needs and inclusion of Canadian Newcomer populations in sport – a diverse and underrepresented cohort. The purpose of this study was to co-generate insights of cultural competency with stakeholders (i.e., managers, front-line staff) of a national community organization offering trauma-sensitive sport programming to Canadian newcomer children. An action research case study methodology was used, in which 11 stakeholders (9 women, 2 men; Mage= 28.64 ± 7.98), participated in ongoing bi-weekly meetings (n = 10) facilitated by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, administrators, and consultants. In these meetings, stakeholders were asked to share their experiences in recruiting, retaining, and engaging Canadian Newcomers in trauma-sensitive sport, and co-develop solutions for enhancing Newcomer inclusion in sport. Data were collected through field notes and audio recordings, and interpreted through qualitative descriptive analysis. Insights for facilitating culturally inclusive programs for Canadian Newcomers were generated across five categories: (a) consistency in staff to maintain relationship-building, (b) using accessible language in marketing and outreach, (c) integrating Newcomers’ language, traditions, heritage in the experience, (d) seeking commonalities and honouring differences using sport and games, (e) engaging caregivers during informal time (breaking bread). The results of this study will be used to develop a resource guide for working with Newcomer populations in this program.
Ease of Doing Business and Economic Growth

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: Using panel data for 155 countries obtained from the World Bank’s Doing Business report for 2006 to 2016, I estimate the impact of ease doing business on the growth rate of GDP per capita. The study also considers other business climate factors and out-of-steady-state dynamics in its model specifications by including the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) and the lagged value of log GDP per capita as additional explanatory variables. I obtain key evidence that the ease of doing business has an overall statistically significant effect on the annual growth rate of GDP per capita. However, the estimated coefficients of the Doing Business indicators for the full sample are statistically insignificant with no effect on the annual growth rate of GDP per capita, while the indicators for the subsamples have a statistically significant effect. Furthermore, when the dataset is subdivided based on country income group classifications the results were found to be mixed, with some indicators suggesting a negative relationship with the per capita GDP growth rate. Hypothetical predicted growth rates for 2006 calculated using the Doing Business indicators for 2016 suggest that in some countries, improvements in the ease of doing business have indeed contributed to economic growth. The results provide support for the claim that the ease of doing business is an important factor for economic growth, but that the effect varies across groups of countries.

description: For a given graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling if $G$ contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of $H$ covering all vertices of $G.$ Let $δ_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H)$ be the smallest integer $k$ such that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling. For every graph $H$, we asymptotically determined the value of $δ_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H)$. More precisely, for every graph $H$ with at least one edge, there is an integer $\mathrm{hcf}_ξ(H)$ and a constant $1 < ξ^*(H)\leq 2$ that can be explicitly determined by structural properties of $H$ such that $δ_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{ξ^*(H)} + o(1) \right)n$ holds for all $n$ and $H$ unless $\mathrm{hcf}_ξ(H) = 2$ and $n$ is odd. When $\mathrm{hcf}_ξ(H) = 2$ and $n$ is odd, then we show that $δ_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H) = \left(\frac{1}{2} + o(1) \right)n$.

description: The development of effective risk reduction strategies for aquatic pollutants requires a comprehensive understanding of toxic impacts on ecosystems. Classical toxicological studies are effective for characterizing pollutant impacts on biota in a controlled, simplified environment. Nonetheless, it is well-acknowledged that predictions based on the results of these studies must be tested over the long-term in a natural ecosystem setting to account for increased complexity and multiple stressors. Paleolimnology (the study of lake sediment cores to reconstruct environmental change) can address many key knowledge gaps. When used as part of a weight-of-evidence framework with more traditional approaches in ecotoxicology, it can facilitate rapid advances in our understanding of the chronic effects of pollutants on ecosystems in an environmentally realistic, multistressor context. Paleolimnology played a central role in the Acid Rain debates, as it was instrumental in demonstrating industrial emissions caused acidification of lakes and associated ecosystem-wide impacts. "Resurrection Ecology" (hatching dormant resting eggs deposited in the past) records evolutionary responses of populations to chronic pollutant exposure. With recent technological advances (e.g., geochemistry, genomic approaches), combined with an emerging paleo-ecotoxicological framework that leverages strengths across multiple disciplines, paleolimnology will continue to provide valuable insights into the most pressing questions in ecotoxicology.

description: De conformidad con nuestra legislación, el contrato estatal es un tipo de contrato, entendido este como un acuerdo de voluntades. No obstante, el contrato estatal es un contrato de carácter solemne que requiere el cumplimiento de ciertas formalidades para que tenga plena validez. Dentro de estas formalidades, tenemos la establecida en el artículo 39 y 41 de la Ley 80 de 1993, referente a la obligatoriedad de elevar el acuerdo a escrito, pero adicional a esto, existen otro tipo de formalidades que aunque la norma no les otorgue esta denominación, se entienden como tal, en tanto su incumplimiento afecta la producción de efectos plenos del contrato. No obstante, estas formalidades han tenido que irse adaptando conforme las tecnologías de la información han ido avanzando, lo que supone un desafío para el ordenamiento jurídico. De este modo, se analiza la evolución de las formalidades del contrato estatal con la implementación de una plataforma en línea donde debe surtirse todo el procedimiento precontractual, contractual y postcontractual de los negocios jurídicos celebrados por entidades estatales, se estudia la compatibilidad de esta herramienta con lo estipulado en el Estatuto General de la Contratación de la Administración Pública, y se realiza un planteamiento al respecto del tema.
description: According to our legislation, the government contract is a type of contract, understood as an agreement of wills. However, the government contract is a solemn contract that requires compliance with certain formalities for it to be fully valid. Within these formalities, we have those established in articles 39 and 41 of Law 80 of 1993, referring to the obligation to put the agreement in writing, but in addition to this, there are other types of formalities that, although the norm does not grant them this denomination, are understood as such, as long as their breach affects the production of full effects of the contract. Nevertheless, these formalities have had to be adapted as information technologies have advanced, which represents a challenge for the legal system. In this way, the evolution of the formalities of the government contract is analyzed with the implementation of an online platform where all the pre-contractual, contractual and postcontractual procedures of legal transactions entered into by state entities must be supplied, the compatibility of this tool with what is stipulated in the general statute of the contracting of the Public Administration, and an approach is made regarding the subject. Key words: contract, government contract, form, formalities, formalism, information technologies.

description: Complete flavour decompositions of the scalar, axial and tensor charges of the proton, deuteron, diproton and $^3$He at SU(3)-symmetric values of the quark masses corresponding to a pion mass $m_π\sim806$ MeV are determined using lattice QCD. At the physical quark masses, the scalar charges constrain mean-field models of nuclei and the low-energy interactions of nuclei with potential dark matter candidates. The axial and tensor charges of nuclei constrain their spin content, integrated transversity and the quark contributions to their electric dipole moments. External fields are used to directly access the quark-line connected matrix elements of quark bilinear operators, and a combination of stochastic estimation techniques is used to determine the disconnected sea-quark contributions. Significant nuclear modifications are found, with particularly large, O(10%), effects in the scalar charges. Typically, these nuclear effects reduce the effective charge of the nucleon (quenching), although in some cases an enhancement is not excluded. Given the size of the nuclear modifications of the scalar charges resolved here, contributions from correlated multi-nucleon effects should be quantified in the analysis of dark matter direct-detection experiments using nuclear targets.

description: This report describes how two U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) organizations integrated the use of the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Team Software Process methodology and the Capability Maturity Modeling framework to progress from Maturity Level 1 to Maturity Level 4 in 30 months. This is less than half of the average time it has taken other organizations to accomplish the same maturity level progression. This case study describes the process improvement efforts of both NAVAIR divisions and how they integrated the two SEI technologies to accelerate process improvement within their organizations. Finally, the report presents the key factors that allowed NAVAIR to achieve these rapid results.

description: Context. Within the framework of the HERM33ES key program, we are studying the star forming interstellar medium in the nearby, metal-poor spiral galaxy M 33, exploiting the high resolution and sensitivity of Herschel. Aims. We use PACS and SPIRE maps at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 μm wavelength, to study the variation of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with galacto-centric distance. Methods. Detailed SED modeling is performed using azimuthally averaged fluxes in elliptical rings of 2 kpc width, out to 8 kpc galacto-centric distance. Simple isothermal and two-component grey body models, with fixed dust emissivity index, are fitted to the SEDs between 24 μm and 500 μm using also MIPS/Spitzer  data, to derive first estimates of the dust physical conditions. Results. The far-infrared and submillimeter maps reveal the branched, knotted spiral structure of M 33. An underlying diffuse disk is seen in all SPIRE maps (250–500 μm). Two component fits to the SEDs agree better than isothermal models with the observed, total and radially averaged flux densities. The two component model, with β fixed at 1.5, best fits the global and the radial SEDs. The cold dust component clearly dominates; the relative mass of the warm component is less than 0.3% for all the fits. The temperature of the warm component is not well constrained and is found to be about 60 K ± 10 K. The temperature of the cold component drops significantly from ~24 K in the inner 2 kpc radius to 13 K beyond 6 kpc radial distance, for the best fitting model. The gas-to-dust ratio for β = 1.5, averaged over the galaxy, is higher than the solar value by a factor of 1.5 and is roughly in agreement with the subsolar metallicity of M 33.

Towards a Safer Social Work for Indigenous Peoples Seeking Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
Creators: name: Filiatreault, Carole-Ann
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: This mémoire is about developing safer social work practices when working with Indigenous peoples in Canada who are seeking sexual and reproductive health services. First, it outlines some important areas for social workers to become familiar with in order to make their practice safer in the realm of sexual and reproductive health. These areas include the realities surrounding the sexual and reproductive health of Indigenous peoples, the ongoing reproductive violence against Indigenous peoples, Indigenous reproductive justice, and the interconnections between social work, settler colonialism, and reproductive violence. Second, this paper explores how social workers can contribute to Indigenous reproductive justice. These include actions such as advocacy and raising awareness, fighting for funding and culturally safe services, learning and remaining critical, educating others and sharing information, and raising awareness about reproductive violence and justice. Altogether, this research provides a number of ways that social workers can help make their practice safer and contribute to ending reproductive violence against Indigenous peoples. Key words: Indigenous reproductive justice, reproductive justice, reproductive violence, social work, sexual and reproductive health and rights
The Effect of Marriage and Children on the Earnings of Canadian-born and Immigrant Women
Creators: name: Jiang, Yanan
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: This paper studies the effects of marriage and of the presence of children in the family on the earnings of native-born and immigrant women by using data collected from the 2016 Canadian Census of Population. The effects on earnings of immigrant women from different countries of origin are estimated separately. The results suggest that there is a difference between native-born and immigrant women regarding the effect of marriage on earnings. For native-born women, there is a positive marriage wage premium, but there is a negative marriage wage penalty for immigrant women, especially those who come from developing countries. The results are consistent with the family investment model where married immigrant women tend to work as secondary workers in the family in order to invest into their husbands’ careers and fulfill family responsibilities. Regarding the effect of children, the empirical results show that, for both native-born women and immigrant women, there is a large wage penalty from having preschool children at home.

description: Using the National Population Health Survey, a nationally representative longitudinal data set spanning 16 years, we analyze if the presence of perceived unmet health-care (UHC) needs affects health outcomes paying close attention to the potential endogeneity of this problem. Five different health-related outcomes are examined. We find clear and robust evidence that the presence of UHC either two-years previously or anytime in the past, affects negatively the current health of the individual – controlling for a host of other influences. The age of the individual does not affect this relationship.
