Educational technology implementation among BC first nation communities : a cross-cultural lens reflection
Creators: name: Padam, Sukhjit (Suke) Singh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This study is a self-reflexive autoethnographic analysis of my physical attendance to approximately half of the over 200 First Nations (FN) communities across British Columbia (BC). This analytical autoethnography represents my reflections on conversations and experiences during my six-year journey (2007–2012 inclusive) sharing technical software and hardware knowledge with school administrators, teachers, and band council members in some of the most isolated FN communities in BC. I also reflect upon more recent experience undertaken with Coast Salish Development Corporation (Cowichan Nation Alliance) on Vancouver Island from 2021 to 2022. As a technical advisor sanctioned by the First Nations Education Steering Committee and First Nations Technology Council, access was granted by all communities that I attended. As a visitor, I noted inadequacies such as a lack of high-tech infrastructure, limited access to educational resources, restricted opportunities to communicate via the Internet, and insufficient access to computer technologies – in comparison to urban centres predominantly populated by Caucasian communities. More specifically, I analyze the effects of technology upon culture, language, traditions, ceremonies, customs, and values using reflections, as well as peer-reviewed research. I visualize the impact of digital technologies through a ‘two-eyed seeing’ conceptual lens, through autoethnographic Reflections that represent my lived experiences on reserve territories, which guide my methodology. Attending Indigenous communities also became a learning experience for me, since it evoked memories of my own upbringing in ‘two-eyed seeing’ as a Punjabi person forced to adapt to Canada’s Eurocentric ideologies, especially in education. The purpose of my autoethnography is to share and amplify my understanding of FN communities’ experiences without intending to represent nor speak on behalf of any individual, community, or territory. I write as an ally settler immersed in FN communities seeking advancement in technology leading to community-based approaches to decolonization, self-determination, and reconciliation. I conclude with proposed policies and broader social changes related to Canada’s education system so technology can serve as a method for aiding in liberation, and enhancing empowerment for FN Indigenous communities. My research (technology training modules) allowed for relationships to flourish in my quest to enhance relations, and mutually share in reflection.

description: The J1-J2 model on a square lattice exhibits a rich variety of different forms of magnetic order that depend sensitively on the ratio of exchange constants J2/J1. We use bulk magnetometry and polarized neutron scattering to determine J1 and J2 unambiguously for two materials in a new family of vanadium phosphates, Pb2VO(PO4)2 and SrZnVO(PO4)2, and we find that they have ferromagnetic J1. The ordered moment in the collinear antiferromagnetic ground state is reduced, and the diffuse magnetic scattering is enhanced, as the predicted bond-nematic region of the phase diagram is approached.

In the case of rational directions, the subaction obtained is non-trivial. We also establish that a cellular automaton can have zero Lyapunov exponents and at the same time act sensitively; and more generally, for any positive real θthere is a cellular automaton acting on an appropriate subshift with λ^{+}=-λ^{-}=θ.

description: We obtained long-slit spectra of high signal-to-noise ratio of the galaxy M32 with the GMOS spectrograph at the GEMINI North telescope. We analysed the integrated spectra by means of full spectral fitting in order to extract the mixture of stellar populations that best represents its composite nature. Three different galactic radii were analysed, from the nuclear region out to 2 arcmin from the centre. This allows us to compare, for the first time, the results of integrated light spectroscopy with those of resolved colour-magnitude diagrams from the literature. As our main result, we propose that an ancient and an intermediate-age population coexist in M32, and that the balance between these two populations change between the nucleus and outside 1 effective radius in the sense that the contribution from the intermediate population is larger at the nuclear region. We retrieve a smaller signal of a young population at all radii whose origin is unclear and may be a contamination from horizontal-branch stars, such as the ones identified by Brown et al. in the nuclear region. We compare our metallicity distribution function for a region 1 to 2 arcmin from the centre to the one obtained with photometric data by Grillmair et al. Both distributions are broad, but our spectroscopically derived distribution has a significant component with $[Z/Z_{\sun}] \leq -1$, which is not found by Grillmair et al.

description: The size distribution and total mass of objects in the Oort Cloud have important implications to the theory of planets formation, including the properties of, and the processes taking place in the early solar system. We discuss the potential of space missions like Kepler and CoRoT, designed to discover transiting exo-planets, to detect Oort Cloud, Kuiper Belt and main belt objects by occultations of background stars. Relying on published dynamical estimates of the content of the Oort Cloud, we find that Kepler's main program is expected to detect between 0 and ~100 occultation events by deca-kilometer-sized Oort Cloud objects. The occultations rate depends on the mass of the Oort cloud, the distance to its "inner edge", and the size distribution of its objects. In contrast, Kepler is unlikely to find occultations by Kuiper Belt or main belt asteroids, mainly due to the fact that it is observing a high ecliptic latitude field. Occultations by Solar System objects will appear as a photometric deviation in a single measurement, implying that the information regarding the time scale and light-curve shape of each event is lost. We present statistical methods that have the potential to verify the authenticity of occultation events by Solar System objects, to estimate the distance to the occulting population, and to constrain their size distribution. Our results are useful for planning of future space-based exo-planet searches in a way that will maximize the probability of detecting solar system objects, without hampering the main science goals.

description: We introduce an in-situ characterization method of resists used for e-beam lithography. The technique is based on the application of an atomic force microscope which is directly mounted below the cathode of an electron-beam lithography system. We demonstrate that patterns irradiated by the e-beam can be efficiently visualized and analyzed in surface topography directly after the e-beam exposure. This in-situ analysis takes place without any development or baking steps, and gives access to the chemical (or latent) image of the irradiated resist.

description: Let gamma denote the golden ratio. H. Davenport and W. M.Schmidt showed in 1969 that, for each non-quadratic irrational real number xi, there exists a constant c>0 with the property that, for arbitrarily large values of X, the inequalities |x_0| \le X, |x_0*xi - x_1| \le cX^{-1/gamma}, |x_0*xi^2 - x_2| \le cX^{-1/gamma} admit no non-zero integer solution (x_0,x_1,x_2). Their result is best possible in the sense that, conversely, there are countably many non-quadratic irrational real numbers xi such that, for a larger value of c, the same inequalities admit a non-zero integer solution for each X\ge 1. Such extremal numbers are transcendental and their set is stable under the action of GL_2(Z) by linear fractional transformations. In this paper, it is shown that there exists extremal numbers xi for which the Lagrange constant is 1/3, the largest possible value for a non-quadratic number, and that there is a natural bijection between the GL_2(Z)-equivalence classes of such numbers and the non-trivial solutions of Markoff's equation.

This scalar is different from quintessence, having an equation of state between -1 and 0 and a zero sound speed in its rest frame. We solve the equations of motion for an exponential potential via a rewriting as an autonomous system, and demonstrate the observational viability of the scenario, for sufficiently small exponential potential parameter λ, by comparison to a compilation of kinematical cosmological data.

Year: 2023

description: Background—The exact underlying physiology of postictal motor deficits, known as Todd's paralysis, is not well understood and its vascular perfusion physiology is not well studied. Reversible postictal perfusion abnormalities have been sparsely described in the literature. Methods—We report abnormal brain magnetic resonance perfusion maps in a 9-year-old boy who presented with postictal left hemiparesis. This case correlates postictal hemispheric cerebral hypoperfusion with clinical evidence of Todd's paralysis. Conclusions—Our case provides an insight into the potential pathophysiology mechanism underlying Todd's paralysis and the practicality of magnetic resonance perfusion studies in localizing an epileptogenic zone in the postictal patient.

description: We show that Rabi oscillations of a degenerate fermionic or bosonic gas trapped in a double-well potential can be exploited for the interferometric measurement of external forces at micrometer length scales. The Rabi interferometer is less sensitive, but easier to implement, than the Mach-Zehnder since it does not require dynamical beam-splitting/recombination processes. As an application we propose a measurement of the Casimir-Polder force acting between the atoms and a dielectric surface. We find that even if the interferometer is fed with a coherent state of relatively small number of atoms, and in the presence of realistic experimental noise, the force can be measured with a sensitivity sufficient to discriminate between thermal and zero-temperature regimes of the Casimir-Polder potential. Higher sensitivities can be reached with spin squeezed states.

Estimating the inland fisheries catch (1950-2019) of data-sparse countries and territories, with emphasis on Africa
Creators: name: Smith, Mica Riley Xiao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The only official and global fisheries catch dataset in existence is that being annually compiled and distributed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) since 1950. However, the Sea Around Us team has identified, documented, and corrected inconsistencies in the global marine fisheries catch data published by FAO by performing ‘reconstructions’ of marine fisheries catch time series for all coastal countries and territories of the world. These reconstructions demonstrate that globally, the official marine fisheries catch is underreported by 50%. While the Sea Around Us currently does not offer a database for inland fisheries catches, the peer-reviewed literature does contain examples of inland fisheries catch underreporting. Therefore, this thesis addresses the underreporting of inland fisheries catches by producing mostly-partial inland fisheries catch reconstructions covering the years 1950 to 2019 for all countries and territories of the African continent, as well as 48 non-African countries and territories. The main results of this thesis are that the inland fisheries catch of the assessed countries and territories are underreported by 50% or more in 87% of cases, and also that the inland fisheries catch of African countries and territories are underreported by a factor of 2.4 from 1950 to 2019, although the reliability of reported catches has improved throughout the analysis period. These results are consistent with those of independent, peer-reviewed studies of inland fisheries catch underreporting. Moreover, these results demonstrate that African marine and inland fisheries catches are similarly underreported, while, overall, there is greater variation in underreporting of inland fisheries catches. These results support the notion that, like marine fisheries, inland fisheries are critical to humanity, and are similarly deserving of attention.
Collider, direct and indirect detection of supersymmetric dark matter

description: We present an overview of supersymmetry searches, both at collider experiments and via searches for dark matter (DM). We focus on three DM possibilities in the SUSY context: the thermally produced neutralino, a mixture of axion and axino, and the gravitino, and compare and contrast signals that may be expected at colliders, in direct detection (DD) experiments searching of DM relics left over from the Big Bang, and indirect detection (ID) experiments designed to detect the products of DM annihilations within the solar interior or galactic halo. Detection of DM particles using multiple strategies provides complementary information that may shed light on the new physics associated with the dark matter sector. In contrast to the mSUGRA model where the measured cold DM relic density restricts us to special regions mostly on the edge of the m_0-m_{1/2} plane, the entire parameter plane becomes allowed if the universality assumption is relaxed in models with just one additional parameter. Then, thermally produced neutralinos with a well-tempered mix of wino, bino and higgsino components, or with a mass adjusted so that their annihilation in the early universe is Higgs-resonance-enhanced, can be the DM. Well-tempered neutralinos typically yield heightened rates for DD and ID experiments compared to generic predictions from minimal supergravity. If instead DM consists of axinos (possibly together with axions) or gravitinos, then there exists the possibility of detection of quasi-stable next-to-lightest SUSY particles at colliding beam experiments, with especially striking consequences if the NLSP is charged, but no DD or ID detection. The exception for mixed axion/axino DM is that DD of axions may be possible.

description: In the Galactic fountain scenario, supernovae and/or stellar winds propel material into the Galactic halo. As the material cools, it condenses into clouds. By using FLASH three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we model and study the dynamical evolution of these gas clouds after they form and begin to fall toward the Galactic plane. In our simulations, we assume that the gas clouds form at a height of z=5 kpc above the Galactic midplane, then begin to fall from rest. We investigate how the cloud's evolution, dynamics, and interaction with the interstellar medium (ISM) are affected by the initial mass of the cloud. We find that clouds with sufficiently large initial densities (> 0.1 hydrogen atoms per cc) accelerate sufficiently and maintain sufficiently large column densities as to be observed and identified as high-velocity clouds (HVCs) even if the ISM is weakly magnetized (1.3 micro Gauss). We also investigate the effects of various possible magnetic field configurations. As expected, the ISM's resistance is greatest when the magnetic field is strong and perpendicular to the motion of the cloud. The trajectory of the cloud is guided by the magnetic field lines in cases where the magnetic field is oriented diagonal to the Galactic plane. The model cloud simulations show that the interactions between the cloud and the ISM can be understood via analogy to the shock tube problem which involves shock and rarefaction waves. We also discuss accelerated ambient gas, streamers of material ablated from the clouds, and the cloud's evolution from a sphere-shaped to a disk- or cigar-shaped object.

In this paper we propose Fingerprint Verification based on Gabor Filter Enhancement (FVGFE) algorithm for minutiae feature extraction and post processing based on 9 pixel neighborhood. A global feature extraction and fingerprints enhancement are based on Hong enhancement method which is simultaneously able to extract local ridge orientation and ridge frequency. It is observed that the Sensitivity and Specificity values are better compared to the existing algorithms.

A Method for Quantifying Angiographic Severity of Extracranial Vertebral Artery Stenosis
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Vertebral artery origin stenosis is a common occurrence among patients with ischemic events in the vertebral and basilar arterial distribution [1,2]. Of the 407 patients in the New England Medical Center Posterior Circulation Registry, 80 (20%) of patients with ischemic events in the vertebral and basilar arterial distribution had vertebral artery origin occlusion or high-grade stenosis [1]. Treatment options for vertebral artery origin occlusion or high-grade stenosis associated with ischemic events, include medical therapy, angioplasty and stent placement, and open surgical revascularization procedures. Aggressive medical therapy may or may not be effective for the reduction of cerebral ischemic events among patients with symptoms caused by hemodynamic impairment from vertebral artery origin occlusion or high-grade stenosis [3]. Stent placement is a treatment option for patients with extracranial vertebral artery stenosis when patients are having symptoms despite optimal medical treatment (Class IIb; Level of Evidence C)

description: A detailed experimental study of antiphase dynamics in a two-mode semiconductor laser with optical injection is presented. The device is a specially designed Fabry-Perot laser that supports two primary modes with a THz frequency spacing. Injection in one of the primary modes of the device leads to a rich variety of single and two-mode dynamical scenarios, which are reproduced with remarkable accuracy by a four dimensional rate equation model. Numerical bifurcation analysis reveals the importance of torus bifurcations in mediating transitions to antiphase dynamics and of saddle-node of limit cycle bifurcations in switching of the dynamics between single and two-mode regimes.

description: In this paper, we develop an analytical approach to predict the field-induced alignment of cantilevered graphene nanoribbons. This approach is validated through molecular simulations using a constitutive atomic electrostatic model. Our results reveal that graphene's field-oriented bending angle is roughly proportional to the square of field strength or the graphene length for small deformations, while is roughly independent of graphene width. The effective bending stiffness and the longitudinal polarizability are also found to be approximately proportional to the square of graphene length. Compared with carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons are found to be more mechanically sensitive to an external electric field.

description: Αντικείμενο μελέτης της παρούσας αποτέλεσαν οι κυριότεροι νομικοί προβληματισμοί που έχουν ανακύψει σε περιπτώσεις προσβολών εννόμων αγαθών από εργαλεία Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης, οι οποίοι συμπυκνώνονται στα εξής ερωτήματα: 1) Πως αξιολογούνται ποινικά, με βάση το ισχύον κανονιστικό πλαίσιο, προσβολές εννόμων αγαθών που προκλήθηκαν από τη χρήση συστημάτων Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης και σε ποιο πρόσωπο αποδίδεται η ποινική ευθύνη; 2) Αποδεικνύεται το συγκεκριμένο κανονιστικό οπλοστάσιο επαρκές για την αντιμετώπιση τέτοιου είδους προσβολών ή κρίνεται αναγκαία η θεσμοθέτηση ξεχωριστής ποινικής ευθύνης των συστημάτων ΤΝ; 3) Θα ήταν εφικτή η συγκεκριμένη θεσμοθέτηση με βάση το ελληνικό Σύνταγμα και Ποινικό Κώδικα ως ισχύουν; 4) Τι μορφή θα είχε η ποινική καταστολή σε μια τέτοια περίπτωση; Στο πλαίσιο αυτού του αναδυόμενου επιστημονικού πεδίου η παρούσα εστίασε στην ανάλυση των ιδιαίτερων μηχανισμών με τους οποίους λειτουργεί η ΤΝ και οι οποίοι της προσδίδουν ενδιαφέρον για το Ποινικό Δίκαιο, των τύπων/μορφών προσβολής που μπορεί να προκληθούν από τη δράση της στον εξωτερικό κόσμο και του θεσμικού πλαισίου που την διέπει. Ερευνήθηκε δε, αν το πλαίσιο αυτό, προορισμένο αρχικά να ρυθμίζει δικαιώματα και υποχρεώσεις μεταξύ ανθρώπων, ανταποκρίνεται στις προκλήσεις που συνεπάγεται μια «σκεπτόμενη» μηχανή.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the main legal concerns that have arisen in cases of infringements of legal goods by Artificial Intelligence tools, focusing on the following questions: 1) How are infringements of legal goods caused by the use of AI systems criminally assessed under the current regulatory framework, and to whom is criminal liability attributed? 2) Are the current regulations sufficient to deal with such infringements or is it necessary to institute a separate criminal liability of AI systems? 3) Would this criminal liability be possible on the basis of the Greek Constitution and the Criminal Code? 4) What form would criminal repression take in such a case? In the context of this emerging scientific field, the present paper intends to answer these questions through the study of the specific inherent mechanisms with which AI operates, the types/forms of offense that may be caused by its action and the institutional framework that governs it. It will be investigated whether this framework, originally intended to regulate rights and obligations between people, meets the challenges of a "thinking" machine.

description: We generalize the quantum waveguide approach to Hückel or tight-binding models relevant to unsaturated $\p$ molecular devices. A Landauer-like formula for the current density through {\em internal} bonds is also derived which allows for defining a local conductance. The approach is employed to study internal circular currents in two-terminal rings. We show how to predict the occurrence and the nature of large vortex currents in coincidence with vanishingly small currents in the leads. We also prove a remarkably simple formula for the onset of a vortex regime.

description: In a recent study of Engel Lie rings, Serena Cicalo` and Willem de Graaf have given a practical set of conditions for an additively finitely generated Lie ring L to satisfy an Engel condition. We present a simpler and more direct proof of this fact. Then we generalize it to a result in the language of tensor algebra, which can be applied to other contexts.

description: Background: Patient-reported outcome measures are gaining increasing importance in clinical research and quality control. Clinical impairment through limb deformities can appear in various forms. This study aimed at translating and culturally adaptating the Limb Deformity-Scoliosis Research Society (LD-SRS) patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) into German by following the scientific rigor of the cross-cultural adaptation process as well as ensuring the reliability of the translated version. The LD-SRS is applicable in children and adults. Methods: The translation was performed in accordance with the creators of the LD-SRS following the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) guidelines for translation and cultural adaptation. Two forward translations were performed, and after a consensus meeting, a professional translator translated the PROM back to English. The creators reviewed the back translation of the preliminary German version. Thirty patients with upper and lower limb deformities participated in cognitive debriefing interviews. The version was proofread and, finally, the test-retest reliability was estimated. Results: The mean age was 19 years (range 6–61). Twenty-six patients (87%) completed the retest after 6 days (range 3–26). The internal consistency was estimated with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96 (range 0.94–0.97), and the intraclass correlation was 0.92 (range 0.89–0.94), indicating an excellent reliability. The scores were normally distributed. Thereafter, the German version was proofread and finalized. Conclusions: The German translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the LD-SRS score resulted in a high reliability and internal consistency. The German LD-SRS score is readily usable and may be applied in future studies of German-speaking limb deformity patients.

description: BACKGROUND—A catheter technique was developed to overcome current challenges in the stabilization and manipulation of catheter in tortuous arteries such as right subclavian artery and left common carotid artery. METHODS—The new catheter has the following two lumens: first lumen can accommodate a 0.035-inch guide wire (lumen A) and a curved shape at the distal end; the second lumen can accommodate a 0.018- inch guide wire and terminates at the beginning of the distal curve of the first lumen (lumen B). The catheter is withdrawn or advanced over the 0.018-inch guide wire and the curved free end of catheter manipulated until the end engages the origin of the target artery. Subsequently, either contrast can be injected or a 0.035-inch guide wire advanced into the target artery. RESULTS—The catheters were used in two patients to perform diagnostic cerebral angiography through a 6F introducer sheath placed in the right common femoral artery. The left and right common carotid arteries and left and right vertebral arteries were catheterized in first patient (contrast used 50 ml; fluoroscopy time 20:09 min). The left and right internal carotid arteries, left and right subclavian arteries, and left external carotid artery were catheterized in second patient (contrast used 40 ml; fluoroscopy time 13:56 min). No complications were observed in either of the two patients. CONCLUSIONS—The performance of the new catheter for catheterization of multiple arteries in two patients was considered adequate with high-quality angiographic image acquisitions.

description: Information and computer security is supported largely by passwords which are the principle part of the authentication process. The most common computer authentication method is to use alphanumerical username and password which has significant drawbacks. To overcome the vulnerabilities of traditional methods, visual or graphical password schemes have been developed as possible alternative solutions to text based scheme. A potential drawback of graphical password schemes is that they are more vulnerable to shoulder surfing than conventional alphanumeric text passwords. When users input their passwords in a public place, they may be at risk of attackers stealing their password. An attacker can capture a password by direct observation or by recording the individuals authentication session. This is referred to as shouldersurfing and is a known risk, of special concern when authenticating in public places. In this paper we will present a survey on graphical password schemes from 2005 till 2009 which are proposed to be resistant against shoulder surfing attacks.

description: Objective: To examine if remote, culturally-adapted oral health education for child-caregivers of South-Asian ancestry is a feasible and effective strategy to promote child oral health. Methods: The trained caregivers of South-East Asian ancestry and their children aged 6-18 years residing in Greater Vancouver area. Caregivers received an active preventative education and some resources to take home. Child caregiver knowledge pre- and post-education were assessed by a questionnaire, and caregivers’ and children’s oral self-care based on Zoom recordings employing the validated tooth brushing observation form. Results: Post-education, a minimal improvement in caregiver knowledge was observed, while oral self-care skills improved significantly in both caregivers and their children. Conclusions: Culturally-adapted oral health education for child-caregivers of South-Asian ancestry was a feasible and effective strategy to promote child oral health.

description: All existing "positive" results on two neutrino double beta decay in different nuclei were analyzed. Using the procedure recommended by the Particle Data Group, weighted average values for half-lives of $^{48}$Ca, $^{76}$Ge, $^{82}$Se, $^{96}$Zr, $^{100}$Mo, $^{100}$Mo - $^{100}$Ru ($0^+_1$), $^{116}$Cd, $^{130}$Te, $^{150}$Nd, $^{150}$Nd - $^{150}$Sm($0^+_1$) and $^{238}$U were obtained. Existing geochemical data were analyzed and recommended values for half-lives of $^{128}$Te, $^{130}$Te and $^{130}$Ba are proposed. Given the measured half-life values, nuclear matrix elements were calculated. I recommend the use of these results as the most currently reliable values for the half-lives and nuclear matrix elements.
