The values represent the fold changes between the reference strain and the ATX1 deleted strain under corresponding conditions. Fold changes were calculated by dividing the average expression level obtained for the reference strain under corresponding condition by that of obtained for the ATX1 deletion mutant via either real-time RT-qPCR or microarray analysis. The values higher than 1.5 represent the differential down-regulation in the absence of ATX1 gene. (DOCX 12 kb)
Patterns in forest soil microbial community composition across a range of regional climates in Western Canada
Creators: name: Brockett, Beth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Soil microbial communities can be characterized by community structure and function (community composition) across a spectrum of spatial scales, and variation in soil microbial composition has been associated with a number of environmental gradients. This study investigates the structure and function of soil microbial communities under mature, undisturbed forested sites across a range of regional climates in British Columbia and Alberta, and also examines the variation in community composition within sites. Phospholipid fatty acid analysis was used to investigate the structure of soil microbial communities and total soil microbial biomass at each site. Extra-cellular enzyme assays established the functional potential of the soil microbial community at each site. Multivariate analysis of the data showed that the soil microbial communities under different forest types did significantly separate along the regional climate gradient by both community structure and function, despite high local variation in the communities. Soil moisture content and soil organic matter concentration consistently exhibited the strongest relationship with microbial community characteristics, although the functional and structural responses to the external drivers were different. Microbial community function and structure also changed with soil depth but not with time of sampling. Microbial community function was related to the regional annual average precipitation gradient. Most of the locations exhibited unique microbial community functional profiles in their soil layers; however the enzyme activities in the samples from the driest (Ponderosa Pine) and wettest (Mountain Hemlock) locations were notably different from each other and from those of the other locations, especially in the organic layers. The moist maritime-influenced Coastal Western Hemlock (CWH) forest exhibited microbial community structural characteristics which were unique from those of the other forest locations. The higher abundance of bacteria relative to fungi in the CWH forest soils may be related to the significantly higher available nitrogen concentrations at this site.

description: Recent Developments and Trends in Japan’s Foreign and Security Policy 2020/2021: A New Year, a New Prime Minister, a New Crisis The last year from September 2021 to August 2022 was again marked in Japanese foreign and security policy by global crises, above all the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and the worsening situation regarding Taiwan. Another decisive moment was a renewed change in the post of Japanese Prime Minister and an accompanying reshuffle of the cabinet. After Suga Yoshihide announced his resignation from the post of Japanese Prime Minister after only one year on September 4, 2021, his successor Kishida Fumio was sworn in as Japan’s 100th head of government on October 4, 2021.

description: Between Regional Cooperation and Strategic Reordering: An Examination of the Change in Perceptions in Japanese Security Policy With Japan’s new connectivity initiative, Free and Open Indo-Pacific, and some previous doctrines, Tokyo has started to shift its regional security policy focus towards democratic Pacific states. Qualitative case studies on bilateral and multilateral cooperation in the Indo-Pacific assess these changes as reflecting a more proactive security policy initiated under the Abe administration (2012–2020). While Tokyo’s security policy in Southeast Asia has certainly changed both qualitatively and quantitatively since 2012/2013, explaining this change by referring to Prime Minister Abe’s foreign policy agenda falls short. Rather, Japan’s new strategy is the result of a change in perceptions among executive officials in the foreign and defense ministries that had already been initiated in the 2000s. This study looks at this development and examines the role of the Prime Minister’s Office of Japan (PMOJ), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and the Ministry of Defense (MOD) in initiating the change and assesses Japan’s Pacific strategy through an interview-based qualitative case study. Using the concept of foreign policy analysis and based on official publications and interviews with representatives of the MOD, the MOFA, and PMOJ advisors, this study shows that the origins of this new regionalism are found primarily in the changing perceptions of executive officials. This study considers government publications as well as the author’s interviews with Japanese diplomats, thus expanding the qualitative aspect of existing research. It also points to the importance of administrative executives at the interface among PMOJ, the MOFA, and the MOD, which should warrant a significant level of analysis to aid in explaining Japan’s regional strategy shift.

The stress of moving out : physiological and behavioural effects of commercial transport on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts
Creators: name: Nomura, Miki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Despite the controversy over environmental sustainability, salmon aquaculture in British Columbia is economically important for many coastal communities and is reported as being the largest agricultural export product for the province. This thesis examined the welfare status of commercially produced Atlantic salmon smolts during transport from freshwater farms to the saltwater net pens using physiology and behaviour to assess transport stress. Smolts were transported first by truck from the freshwater farm to the dock, and then in the flow-through cargo holds of a live-haul vessel to the saltwater net pens. Fish and water were sampled before and after truck transport, and several times aboard the vessel. Assessment of stress was based on measurement of plasma cortisol, glucose, lactate, potassium, sodium and chloride concentrations, as well as behavioural observations made on underwater video footage. Seven transports of fish originating from two different hatcheries were sampled; one was a land-based tank hatchery that required a 30-min drive to the dock, and the other a lake net pen facility that was 90 min to the dock. Analysis of plasma constituents supported previous studies that recovery from the stress accumulated during loading and truck transport can be quite rapid in a live-haul vessel. Underwater video footage, recorded at the freshwater farms and in the cargo holds of the Sterling Carrier, also suggested recovery onboard in that for the most part, behaviour onboard was similar to behaviour at the freshwater farms. There were some significant differences between fish from the two types of hatcheries, particularly in the original hatchery conditions and in their behavioural responses to transport conditions; however, post-transport growth and mortality rates reported by the saltwater farms showed no significant difference. Although fish were subjected to moderately stressful conditions during part of the process, smolt transport as currently carried out by our industry partners reflects good husbandry practices and fish welfare.

description: Ready for the »New Era«? Japan’s Economy in the Shadow of Global Crises The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have significantly contributed to a politicization of global trade and investment, which undermines the principles of market liberalism and anti-discrimination. This has various consequences for Japan as a major trading nation. An important part of fossil fuels is imported from Russia. By diversifying sources and increasing the use of nuclear energy again, Japan may avoid an outright energy crisis, but the price level for energy is set to increase. Trade with China, Japan’s biggest trading partner, will also undergo changes because of security concerns, which will put further pressure on prices for various goods and services. The effects are already visible with an inflation rate of about 2.5 % and an erosion of the Yen/US Dollar exchange rate. Conventional economic policy would dictate an increase in interest rates under such circumstances, but the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is determined to keep them near zero. If the BOJ were to increase rates, a fiscal crisis may ensue, as about half of the national state budget is financed by the BOJ. The trade-off between price stability and fiscal sustainability may thus force Japan to reform its fiscal and economic policy or to face economic decline.

description: The Mixed Embeddedness of Foreign Entrepreneurs in Tokyo’s Startup Ecosystem The Japanese government, in light of the lasting social and economic problems such as demographic change, economic recession, and lack of productivity, has devised policies to drive entrepreneurship and innovation. Among policies to attract potential startup founders, and as in other emerging startup ecosystems in Asia, a distinct startup visa for foreign entrepreneurs has been launched in selected Japanese cities, including Shibuya in Tokyo, but its effects are yet to be examined academically. This article uses the theoretical framework of superdiversity in order to shed light on foreigners’ business ventures beyond the so-far acknowledged analytical lens of ethnic entrepreneurship and credits Tokyo’s increasing socio-cultural diversity. In so doing, the article brings the often separate scholarship on entrepreneurship and migration into the conversation. It operationalizes the superdiversity framework by adopting a mixed-embeddedness approach. The analysis reveals that many foreign startup founders have lived in Japan for a long time and are culturally and socially well-integrated. Nevertheless, they engage in informal practices in the process of venturing their businesses and securing the visa status to do so, which can be explained by their limited embeddedness in political-institutional terms. This article argues that not only those labeled »ethnic entrepreneurs,« who often operate in low-skilled, low-wage sectors, but also highly-skilled entrepreneurs in knowledge-intensive industries and the IT sector navigate the process of venturing a business through partial informality. A comparative examination of foreign startup entrepreneurs in Asia’s startup hub, Singapore, reveals parallels in foreign founders’ informal practices in both cities regardless of their ethnicity and nationality. However, the case of Singapore also demonstrates opportunities for startups founded by foreigners once they benefit from the infrastructural support of the highly-developed Singaporean startup ecosystem. The comparison underlines that despite the attention foreign entrepreneurship has received (more so in Singapore than in Tokyo), the role of informal practices in foreign founders’ venturing processes is yet to be theoretically understood. The findings, therefore, point to the potential significance of both the mixed-embeddedness approach and the concept of superdiversity in emerging multiethnic and increasingly diverse business ventures in the knowledge-intensive sector. The empirical findings underline the need to review immigration and startup visa policies across newly emerging startup ecosystems in Asia.

description: History and Historical Awareness in Japan in 2021 Like the previous year, 2021 was marked by several anniversaries that brought historical events and developments to the center of public attention, at least for a short time. From a German perspective, these notably included the anniversary of the start of official relations between Germany and Japan, which was celebrated as »160 Years of German-Japanese Friendship.« There was greater attention received in Japan as well as internationally for the 80th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December. The handling of this anniversary revealed the tendency of public commemoration to focus on certain details or specific aspects, including Japanese victimhood, while largely ignoring others. It is in this context that the reform of UNESCO’s World Memory Heritage initiated by Japan is noteworthy. Recent data from the non-profit organization Genron confirm that the public handling of historical events continues to be seen as a major obstacle on the path to Japan’s reconciliation with China and Korea. A less publicized anniversary was celebrated by the Japan Center for Historical Records, which has existed as part of the National Archives for 20 years and enjoys a high reputation among experts.

Evaluating eelgrass (Zostera marina) as a juvenile habitat for rockfishes : contributions of site characteristics and larval supply to juvenile abundance
Creators: name: Jeffery, Sharon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Seagrass beds are highly valuable ecosystems with a potential nursery function for rockfishes in British Columbia. Understanding how the nursery value of seagrass habitats differs for rockfish species, and what factors create this variability in habitat value, is important for effective conservation planning. In this study, the use of Zostera marina beds in Barkley Sound by juvenile rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) was investigated. Rockfish have been observed in Z. marina beds by many researchers, however, their abundance and distribution between beds has been shown to be variable. The abundance of juvenile rockfishes in five beds was assessed in 2005 and 2006 using visual surveys. Environmental and biological variables that could potentially influence this abundance were measured concurrently. These included supply of settling fish (hereafter “settlers”), biotic and abiotic habitat characteristics. The eelgrass beds that I studied were found to differ significantly in their habitat characteristics, the abundance of settlers arriving to them, as well as the abundance of juvenile recruits in the beds. Sebastes melanops and S. caurinus were found at the sites between June and September. There was no significant relationship between the abundance of settlers arriving at a bed, and the abundance of juveniles using it. However, many of the eleven habitat characteristics investigated were significantly correlated with the abundance of either S. melanops, or S. caurinus. It is likely that these relationships arose from multiple causes which acted both pre- and post-settlement. Habitat features that were identified as correlates with high juvenile abundance value included lower epiphyte biomass, nearness to kelp habitats, lower water temperature, lower shoot density, and higher leaf width.

description: Move to the Countryside! Strategies of Japanese Prefectures to Recruit Urban-Rural Migrants Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic During the COVID-19 pandemic, urbanites’ outmigration to Japan’s rural areas received considerable media attention. However, outmigration from urban areas is small and not evenly distributed across prefectures in Japan, with prefectures in peripheral locations receiving fewer migrants than those closer to urban centers. This paper analyzes the representation of rural spaces in recruitment strategies, promotional activities, and information events conceptualized and organized by two such peripheral prefectures, Saga and Ōita in Kyushu, to understand the role of these representations in the inter-prefectural competition for new residents. Based on the analysis of promotional videos published online by both prefectures, it was found that despite recent changes in rural Japan the promotional videos published by Saga and Ōita prefectures portray the two prefectures as a »rural idyll,« rather than as innovative, open, and diverse. In this way, the promotional materials echo older discourses about rural areas from the fields of tourism, consumerism, and the media, which portray rural Japan as an idealized but homogeneous space. Since the representations of the two prefectures differed only slightly and could hardly be distinguished from each other, it is questionable whether these materials can help potential new residents make an informed decision before moving.

description: The Revitalization Initiative Zen of Aso City, its Stakeholders and their Conflicts Demographic change can be observed all over Japan. However, the harsh reality of aging and population decline afflicts the rural areas in particular. Sixty years of regional promotion by special legislation, administrative decentralization, or municipal consolidation have failed to overcome the structural disadvantages of the rural periphery in Japan. In 2014, the Japanese government announced a new policy called chihō sōsei, regional revitalization, with the goal to revitalize rural economies and address rural population decline. As many efforts to revitalize rural areas have failed before, the responsibility of drafting and implementing revival plans has now been placed solely on local governments. To create local economies that can guarantee sustainability, local governments and communities reach for regional branding as an important tool to generate a continuous stream of capital flowing into the area. The so-called Zen Initiative was inaugurated in 2013 by the local government of Aso City in Kumamoto Prefecture. The initiative was supposed to strengthen the local community as well as create economic opportunities, especially through boosting local tourism. The data collected during fieldwork in Aso in 2017 showed, however, that after only five years the initiative had already exhausted its limits. The initiative, planned by the local government and an advertising agency from Tokyo, was poorly constructed and lacked the necessary parts that are needed for a successful branding process. Another problem was the rigid top-down approach by the local government, which reflected neither the needs nor opinions of the local population. This study takes a closer look at the context in which Zen was created and how the power struggle of the stakeholders negatively affected the potential of the revitalization initiative that was hailed as a new way of rural revitalization.

description: Closed Borders: Everyday Life Experiences of International Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Their Implications for Integrating into Japanese Society The entry restrictions imposed by the Japanese government to curb the spread of COVID-19 have ground the steadily increasing influx of international students Japan has experienced in the last decade to a halt. While students seeking to enter Japan have been making their voices heard on social media, a new form of »study abroad« has emerged, with students participating from everywhere around the world. Meanwhile, students inside Japan have experienced serious disruptions in their daily lives, brought about by the rapid shift caused by social distancing. This article analyzes the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the everyday life of international students studying at Japanese universities, inside and outside of Japan, and the implications this might have on integrating into Japanese society and their life trajectories. It focuses on a series of interviews with students at Hokkaidō University conducted by the author between April 2021 and January 2022, featuring experiences effectively spanning the first two years of the pandemic. It argues that the effects of the pandemic have significantly hampered the possibilities of students creating meaningful relationships by severing them from social life as they knew it. At the same time, the possibility of effectively learning the Japanese language and local customs is reduced, and the success of their studies is jeopardized. The pandemic has slowed down their chances to accumulate Bourdieusian social and cultural capital severely, which might impede the chances of this cohort successfully integrating into the Japanese labor market and society due to assimilationist expectations towards immigrants.

Recreating a functioning forest soil in reclaimed oil sands in northern Alberta
Creators: name: Rowland, Sara Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: During oil-sands mining all vegetation cover, soil, overburden and oil-sand is removed, leaving pits several kilometres wide and hundreds of metres deep. These pits are reclaimed by a variety of treatments using mineral soil or a mixed peat and mineral soil as the capping layer and planted with trees with natural colonisation from adjacent sites. A number of reclamation treatments covering different age classes were compared with a range of natural forest ecotypes to identify the age at which the treatments become similar to a natural site with respect to vegetation composition and key soil attributes relevant to nutrient cycling. Ecosystem function was estimated from plant community composition, litter decomposition, development of an organic layer and bio-available nutrients. Key response variables including moisture, pH, C:N ratios, bio-available nutrients and ground-cover were analysed by non-metric multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis to discover which reclamation treatments were moving towards or merging with natural forest ecotypes and at what age this occurs. On reclaimed sites, bio-available nutrients including nitrate generally were above the natural range of variability but ammonium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and manganese were generally very low and limiting to ecosystem development. Plant diversity was similar to natural sites from 5 years to 30 years after reclamation, but declined as reclaimed sites approached canopy closure. Grass and forb leaf litters decomposed faster than aspen or pine in the first year, but decomposition on one reclamation treatment fell below the natural range of variability. Development of an organic layer appeared to be facilitated by the presence of shrubs, while forbs correlated negatively with first-year decomposition of aspen litter. The better restoration amendments for tailings sands involved repeated fertilisation of peat: mineral mixtures in the early years of plant establishment, these became similar to a target ecotype at about 25 years. Good results were also shown by subsoil laid over non-saline overburden and fertilised once, these became similar to a target ecotype at about 15 years. Other treatments receiving a single application of fertiliser remain entrenched in the early reclamation phase for up to 25 years.

Candidate genes other than the CFTR gene as possible modifiers of pulmonary disease severity in cystic fibrosis
Creators: name: Frangolias, Despina Daisy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a single gene Mendelian disorder characterized by pulmonary disease and pancreatic insufficiency. Pulmonary disease is the major cause of death in CF patients. Although some cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genotypes are associated with less severe disease, patients possessing the same genotype show great variation in pulmonary disease severity and progression. Genes involved in modulating the inflammatory response and genes increasing susceptibility to infection are proposed as modifiers of pulmonary disease severity. Polymorphisms selected for based on evidence that they affect the function of the gene and prevalence of the putative risk allele: 1) antiprotease gene alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha-1-AT), 2) innate immunity genes: mannose binding lectin (MBL2) (promoter [G→C] at -221 and codon 52 (Arg52Cys, D allele), 54 (Gly54Asp, B allele), and 57 (Gly57Glu, C allele), and pulmonary surfactant genes SPA-1 (Arg219Trp), SPA-2 (Thr9Asn, Lys223Gln) and SPD (Thr11Met), 3) antioxidant genes GSTM1 and T1 (gene deletion polymorphisms), GSTP1 (Ile105Val) and GCLC repeats, 4) mucin genes (MUC2 and MUC5B). Pulmonary disease progression and survival in patients with chronic Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) infection were also investigated controlling for genomovar and RAPD type of the organism. BCC infection was associated with more severe pulmonary disease progression and worse survival. Alpha-1-AT genotype was not a major contributor to variability of pulmonary disease severity, but the results suggest that alpha-1-AT plasma levels during pulmonary infections may be affected by poor nutritional status. We showed similar pulmonary disease progression and MBL2 genotype. Contrary to the previous literature, wild-type MBL2 genotype was associated with steeper decline in pulmonary disease over time following chronic infection with BCC, but genotype was not associated with increased susceptibility to BCC infection. We showed inconsistant results for the pulmonary surfactant gene polymorphisms, GSTM1, T1 and GSTP1 polymorphisms, and number of repeats for GCLC and MUC5B depending on the phenotype investigated. We conclude that some of the variability in pulmonary disease severity and progression in CF is explained by polymorphisms in secondary genes.

description: Hollow mesoporous silica capsules (HMSC) are potential drug transport vehicles due to their biocompatibility, high loading capacity and sufficient stability in biological milieu. Herein, we report the synthesis of ellipsoid-shaped HMSC (aspect ratio ∼2) performed using hematite particles as solid templates that were coated with a conformal silica shell through cross-condensation reactions. For obtaining hollow silica capsules, the iron oxide core was removed by acidic leaching. Gas sorption studies on HMSC revealed mesoscopic pores (main pore width ∼38 Å) and a high surface area of 308.8 m2 g−1. Cell uptake of dye-labeled HMSC was confirmed by incubating them with human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells and analyzing the internalization through confocal microscopy. The amphiphilic nature of HMSC for drug delivery applications was tested by loading antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and anticancer (curcumin) compounds as model drugs for hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutics, respectively. The versatility of HMSC in transporting hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic drugs and a pH dependent drug release over several days under physiological conditions was demonstrated in both cases by UV-vis spectroscopy. Ciprofloxacin-loaded HMSC were additionally evaluated towards Gram negative (E. coli) bacteria and demonstrated their efficacy even at low concentrations (10 μg ml−1) in inhibiting complete bacterial growth over 18 hours.
