description: Die Langstreckenmobilität in Deutschland ist sowohl für den Personenverkehr als auch den Güterverkehr von wachsender Umweltrelevanz. Das Projekt zielte darauf ab, bestehende Wissenslücken zu schließen. Für den Personenverkehr konnte mithilfe eines Fusionsmodells gezeigt werden, das fast die Hälfte der Gesamtverkehrsleistung der deutschen Wohnbevölkerung (46% der PersonenkilometerâĄ ) auf Wege mit einer Distanz von mindestens 100 km (einfache Wegstrecke) entfällt. Für den Güterverkehr liefert eine Unternehmensbefragung Ergebnisse zu den Entscheidungsprozessen für die Verkehrsmittelwahl: eine umfangreichere Verlagerung von Güterfernverkehren der Straße auf alternative Verkehrsträger stößt auf mehrere Hemmnisse und ist nur dann realisierbar, wenn die Infrastruktur der Schiene und der Wasserstraße kontinuierlich weiter ausgebaut und infrastrukturelle Engpässe abgebaut werden, wenn die Kosten der alternativen Verkehrsträger im Vergleich zum Lkw wettbewerbsgerecht gestaltet, die Zuverlässigkeit im Schienengüterverkehr verbessert, die Gesamttransportzeiten reduziert, sowie die Abfahrtsfrequenzen im kombinierten Verkehr bei Schiene und Wasserstraße erhöht werden können.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Industrial control systems are inevitably affected by many challenges such as delays in the system, uncertainties of parameters, and external disturbances that can lead to performance degradation or even instability of the overall system. Hence, careful consideration of such phenomena in systems is essential for successful controller design. The thesis contributes three control algorithms that effectively deal with periodic signals in time delay systems while overcoming external disturbances and parameter uncertainties. These concepts have been validated using mathematics and compared against existing controllers in both computer simulations and real-world experiments to confirm the superior performance of the proposals.
A case study of the influence of teacher efficacy and readiness for self-directed learning on the implementation of a growth-oriented teacher performance appraisal process in one school district

description: In recent years, traditional approaches to teacher supervision have been criticized as giving little impetus for teacher professional growth by scholars sharing a neo-progressive perspective (Beerens, 2000; Johnson, 1993; Tracy & MacNaughton, 1989). Current thinking indicates that teacher evaluation through a process of teacher performance appraisal for professional growth will yield better results. (Duke, 1990, 1993). There is evidence to suggest that the goals of teacher performance appraisal processes are dependent on teacher efficacy (TE). TE has been linked to the goals of instructional experimentation (Allinder, 1994; Ross, 1998), teachers' willingness to implement innovations (Guskey, 1984; Smylie, 1988), and teachers' goal setting (Ross, 1998). Collaborative teacher performance appraisal processes also align well with current adult learning concepts. For example, SDL, one concept associated with adult learning, has been referenced as a process to promote ongoing reflective thought, "with learners expected to assume primary responsibility for their own learning". An increased understanding of the attributes of TE coupled with a knowledge of teachers' readiness for SDL would allow for more positive teacher professional growth experiences through a teacher performance appraisal process that encourages SDL. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine TE and SDL within the context of an actual teacher performance appraisal process. The study identifies gaps in our knowledge base of self-directed teacher performance appraisal processes. Additionally, the study identifies barriers to the implementation of a teacher performance appraisal process that encourages SDL. This study determined that teachers' TE levels influence their professional growth experiences in a teacher performance appraisal process. Specifically, this research project confirmed the assertion that teachers' PTE levels are strong determinants of success in teacher professional growth initiatives. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background Coma of unknown origin is an emergency caused by a variety of possibly life-threatening pathologies. Although lethality is high, there are currently no generally accepted management guidelines. Methods We implemented a new interdisciplinary standard operating procedure (SOP) for patients presenting with non-traumatic coma of unknown origin. It includes a new in- house triage process, a new alert call, a new composition of the clinical response team and a new management algorithm (altogether termed “coma alarm”). It is triggered by two simple criteria to be checked with out-of-hospital emergency response teams before the patient arrives. A neurologist in collaboration with an internal specialist leads the in-hospital team. Collaboration with anaesthesiology, trauma surgery and neurosurgery is organised along structured pathways that include standardised laboratory tests and imaging. Patients were prospectively enrolled. We calculated response times as well as sensitivity and false positive rates, thus proportions of over- and undertriaged patients, as quality measures for the implementation in the SOP. Results During 24 months after implementation, we identified 325 eligible patients. Sensitivity was 60 % initially (months 1–4), then fluctuated between 84 and 94 % (months 5–24). Overtriage never exceeded 15 % and undertriage could be kept low at a maximum of 11 % after a learning period. We achieved a median door-to-CT time of 20 minutes. 85 % of patients needed subsequent ICU treatment, 40 % of which required specialised neuro- ICUs. Discussion Our results indicate that our new simple in-house triage criteria may be sufficient to identify eligible patients before arrival. We aimed at ensuring the fastest possible proceedings given high portions of underlying time-sensitive neurological and medical pathologies while using all available resources as purposefully as possible. Conclusions Our SOP may provide an appropriate tool for efficient management of patients with non- traumatic coma. Our results justify the assignment of the initial diagnostic workup to neurologists and internal specialists in collaboration with anaesthesiologists.

description: Efficient separation of acetylene (C2H2) from its byproducts, especially CO2, is difficult because of their similar physicochemical properties, including molecular dimensions and boiling point. Herein, we demonstrate trace C2H2 removal from C2H2/CO2 mixtures enabled by a new ultramicroporous metal−organic framework (MOF) adsorbent, IPM-101, which features an optimal pore size of 4 Å (close to the kinetic diameter of C2H2, 3.3 Å) and one-dimensional channels lined by Lewis basic purine groups. Single-component gas adsorption isotherms revealed a clear affinity toward C2H2 versus CO2 at low pressures with a substantial C2H2 uptake of 0.9 mmol g−1 at 3000 ppm and 298 K. Dynamic column breakthrough experiments revealed separation of C2H2 from 1:1 and 1:99 v/v C2H2/CO2 mixtures. IPM?101 exhibits one of the highest dynamic separation selectivity (αAC) values yet reported, 22.5 for 1:1 C2H2/CO2. Computational simulations indicated that the purine moiety was key to the strong C2H2 selectivity thanks to C2H2 selective N···HC≡CH interactions.

description: We have performed one and two colour, spectrally resolved four-wave mixing (FWM) experiments on a series of ZnO/ Zn1-xMgxO quantum wells with different oxygen ion implantation doses. The results show that at room temperature and with resonant excitation, excitonic coherences are maintained beyond the duration of the laser pulse. A transient signal observed at negative delays in the two-colour experiments is attributed to biexcitonic coherence. The use of the two colours allows the purely biexcitonic contribution to be resolved from any other many-body or excitonic contributions at negative delays; therefore the transient signal observed indicates the creation of biexcitons in the ZnO quantum well at room temperature. Coherence times as long as 480 fs at room temperature are found for both excitons and biexcitons and are shown to be independent of implantation dose.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Methane is the main component of nature gases and is currently used for heating and electric power generation by combustion, which is unfriendly to the environment as the released carbon dioxide and unburned methane increase the greenhouse effect. This project targets on the problems of methane oxidation to methanol at low temperature, which is not only a scientific frontier issue but also relevant to industrial methane utilization. Methanol is a raw material in chemistry and its wider application is limited by its high price. Therefore, exploring new routes for methane oxidation to methanol means a lot to our society.
Role of Xenopus p21-activated kinase 2 (X-PAK2) in polar body formation during oocyte maturation

description: Vertebrate oocytes are physiologically arrested in meiotic prophase until shortly before ovulation. Under the influence of gonadotropic hormones, these oocytes resume meiosis and progress to metaphase II, in which they await fertilization. The transition from prophase to metaphase II is termed oocyte maturation. During oocyte maturation, no mRNA synthesis is detectable. Instead, active protein translation from maternal mRNAs and post-translation modification are required for oocyte maturation. However, these protein translational events are by and large not known. In this study, I have studied the potential role of such a translational event: de novo synthesis of a protein kinase termed pEg3. Prophase oocytes contain low levels of pEg3 protein. De novo synthesis of pEg3 protein is evident during oocyte maturation. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Current methods for evaluating food marketing to children often study a single marketing channel or approach. As the World Health Organization urges the removal of unhealthy food marketing in children’s settings, methods that comprehensively explore the exposure and power of food marketing within a setting from multiple marketing channels and approaches are needed. The purpose of this study was to test the inter-rater reliability and the validity of a novel settings-based food marketing audit tool. Methods: The Food and beverage Marketing Assessment Tool for Settings (FoodMATS) was developed and its psychometric properties evaluated in five public recreation and sport facilities (sites) and subsequently used in 51 sites across Canada for a cross-sectional analysis of food marketing. Raters recorded the count of food marketing occasions, presence of child-targeted and sports-related marketing techniques, and the physical size of marketing occasions. Marketing occasions were classified by healthfulness. Inter-rater reliability was tested using Cohen’s kappa (κ) and intra-class correlations (ICC). FoodMATS scores for each site were calculated using an algorithm that represented the theoretical impact of the marketing environment on food preferences, purchases, and consumption. Higher FoodMATS scores represented sites with higher exposure to, and more powerful (unhealthy, child-targeted, sports-related, large) food marketing. Validity of the scoring algorithm was tested through (1) Pearson’s correlations between FoodMATS scores and facility sponsorship dollars, and (2) sequential multiple regression for predicting “Least Healthy” food sales from FoodMATS scores. Results: Inter-rater reliability was very good to excellent (κ = 0.88–1.00, p < 0.001; ICC = 0.97, p < 0.001). There was a strong positive correlation between FoodMATS scores and food sponsorship dollars, after controlling for facility size (r = 0.86, p < 0.001). The FoodMATS score explained 14% of the variability in “Least Healthy” concession sales (p = 0.012) and 24% of the variability total concession and vending “Least Healthy” food sales (p = 0.003). Conclusions: FoodMATS has high inter-rater reliability and good validity. As the first validated tool to evaluate the exposure and power of food marketing in recreation facilities, the FoodMATS provides a novel means to comprehensively track changes in food marketing environments that can assist in developing and monitoring the impact of policies and interventions.

description: Objective To study the impact of maternal country of birth on type-1-diabetes (T1D) therapy and outcome. Study Design and Methods 27,643 T1D patients aged ≤20 years with documented maternal country of birth from the multicenter German/Austrian diabetes patient registry (DPV) were analyzed. Patients were categorized based on their mother’s origin: Germany/Austria (reference), Turkey, Southern Europe, and Eastern Europe. To compare BMI standard deviation score (BMI-SDS), diabetes therapy and outcome between groups, multivariable regression was applied with adjustments for age, sex and duration of diabetes. Based on observed marginal frequencies, adjusted estimates were calculated. Linear regression was used for continuous data, logistic regression for binary data and Poisson regression for count data. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.4. Significance was set at a two-tailed p<0.05. Results 83.3% of patients were offspring of native mothers. A Turkish, Southern or Eastern European background was documented in 2.4%, 1.7% and 4.3% of individuals. After demographic adjustment, patients with migration background had a higher mean BMI-SDS (Turkey, Southern Europe or Eastern Europe vs. Germany/Austria: 0.58±0.03, 0.40±0.04, or 0.37±0.02 vs. 0.31±0.01; ±SE) and a lower use of insulin pumps (26.8%, 27.9%, or 32.6% vs. 37.9%) compared to offspring of native mothers. Mean HbA1c was worst in individuals of Turkish mothers (Turkey vs. Germany/Austria: 69.7±0.7 vs. 66.6±0.1 mmol/mol; ±SE). Patients of Eastern European descent had an increased rate of severe hypoglycemia (22.09±0.13 vs. 16.13±0.02 events per 100 patient-years) and ketoacidosis was more prevalent in offspring of Turkish or Southern European mothers (7.50±0.10, or 7.13±0.11 vs. 6.54±0.02 events per 100 patient-years). Patients of Turkish descent were more often hospitalized (57.2±2.7 vs. 48.5±0.4 per 100 patient-years). All differences were significant. Conclusion The differences in diabetes therapy and outcome among patients with distinct migration background suggest that specific challenges have to be considered in clinical care.

description: Notre thèse porte sur le rocessus d'accréditation des médecins formés en dehors du Canada et des États-Unis. L'immigration des professionnels est une grande réalité aussi bien aujourd'hui que dans l'histoire récente du Canada. L'intégration de ces immigrants dans la vie économique reste difficile parce que paralysée par divers problèmes auxquels les immigrants doivent faire face. Notre question de recherche concerne les barrières que les médecins immigrants rencontrent quand ils essayent d'accéder à une licence pour la pratique de la médecine en Ontario. Notre approche méthodologique est l'analyse de contenu de type thématique. Notre corpus de textes à analyser est constitué par les transcriptions d'entrevues menées auprès des représentants de certaines organisations professionnelles et autres impliquées dans le processus d'accréditation des médecins formes à l'étranger. Il s'agit également de documents officiels produits par certaines de ces organisations. Les résultats montrent que des pratiques protectionnistes des organisations professionnelles impliquées dans le processus d'accréditation expliquent l'existence des barrières à l'accréditation des médecins immigrants. En plus, notre lecture des résultats fait état de l'existence d'une discrimination systèmique basée sur la race et l'ethnie.

description: Background Despite the known demographic shift with expected doubled rate of vertebral body fractures by the year 2050, a standardized treatment concept for traumatic and osteoporotic incomplete burst fracture of the truncal spine does not exist. This study aims to determine whether minimally invasive fracture care for incomplete osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures using intravertebral expandable titanium mesh cages is a suitable procedure and may provide improved safety in terms of cement-associated complications in comparison to kyphoplasty procedure. Methods In 2011/2012, 15 patients (10 women, 5 men; mean age 77) with 15 incomplete osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures (T10 to L4) were stabilized using intravertebral expandable titanium mesh cages (OsseoFix®) as part of a prospective study. X-ray, MRI and bone density measurements (DXA) were performed preinterventionally. The clinical and radiological results were evaluated preoperatively, postoperatively and after 12 months according to the visual analogue scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), X-ray (Beck Index, Cobb angle) and CT analyses. Wilcoxon rank sum test, sign test and Fischer’s exact test were used for statistical evaluation. Results A significant reduction in pain intensity (VAS) from preoperative 8.0 to 1.6 after 12 months and significant improvement in activity level (ODI) from preoperative 79.0 to 30.5 % after 12 months were revealed. Radiologically, the mean kyphotic angle according to Cobb showed significant improvements from preoperative 9.1° to 8.0° after 12 months. A vertebral body subsidence was revealed in only one case (6.7 %). No changes in the position of the posterior wall were revealed. No cement leakage or perioperative complications were seen. Conclusion As a safe and effective procedure, the use of intravertebral expandable titanium mesh cages presents a valuable alternative to usual intravertebral stabilization procedures for incomplete osteoporotic burst fractures and bears the potential to reduce cement-associated complications.

description: Das Projekt widmete sich der Objekt- bzw. Materialgruppe – archaologisches Holz und Eisen -, da sie Restauratoren meist vor die größten Probleme stellt. Denn während solche Objekte im Boden mitunter Jahrtausende überdauert haben, beginnen sie häufig sofort nach der Bergung aus dem Boden zu zerfallen – manchmal sogar bis hin zum vollständigen Verlust. Insbesondere bei großen Fundmengen ist daher ein schnelles und effizientes Handeln von Nöten, um die Funde bis zu ihrer restauratorischen und wissenschaftlichen Bearbeitung zu stabilisieren.
Aufgrund der Dringlichkeit der Problematik wurden für beide Materialien über die Jahre hinweg viele verschiedene Lösungsansätze entwickelt. Ein wissenschaftlicher Vergleich fehlte jedoch bislang, vor allem in Hinsicht auf ihre Effektivität, aber auch Praktikabilität und (Nachfolge-)Kosten. Nur die Wahl geeigneter Konservierungsmaßnahmen erlaubt letztlich auch eine Verhinderung von zukünftigen Schadensbildern (Prävention), die später nur mit einem noch höheren Versorgungsaufwand behoben werden konnten. Die dabei auftretenden Probleme sind so komplex, dass sie nur durch eine Vernetzung lösbar erscheinen.

description: Antibiotics, though remarkably useful, can also cause certain adverse effects. We detected that treatment of adult mice with antibiotics decreases hippocampal neurogenesis and memory retention. Reconstitution with normal gut flora (SPF) did not completely reverse the deficits in neurogenesis unless the mice also had access to a running wheel or received probiotics. In parallel to an increase in neurogenesis and memory retention, both SPF-reconstituted mice that ran and mice supplemented with probiotics exhibited higher numbers of Ly6Chi monocytes in the brain than antibiotic-treated mice. Elimination of Ly6Chi monocytes by antibody depletion or the use of knockout mice resulted in decreased neurogenesis, whereas adoptive transfer of Ly6Chi monocytes rescued neurogenesis after antibiotic treatment. We propose that the rescue of neurogenesis and behavior deficits in antibiotic-treated mice by exercise and probiotics is partially mediated by Ly6Chi monocytes.

description: Patient registries are an essential tool to increase current knowledge regarding rare diseases. Understanding these data is a vital step to improve patient treatments and to create the most adequate tools for personalized medicine. However, the growing number of disease-specific patient registries brings also new technical challenges. Usually, these systems are developed as closed data silos, with independent formats and models, lacking comprehensive mechanisms to enable data sharing. To tackle these challenges, we developed a Semantic Web based solution that allows connecting distributed and heterogeneous registries, enabling the federation of knowledge between multiple independent environments. This semantic layer creates a holistic view over a set of anonymised registries, supporting semantic data representation, integrated access, and querying. The implemented system gave us the opportunity to answer challenging questions across disperse rare disease patient registries. The interconnection between those registries using Semantic Web technologies benefits our final solution in a way that we can query single or multiple instances according to our needs. The outcome is a unique semantic layer, connecting miscellaneous registries and delivering a lightweight holistic perspective over the wealth of knowledge stemming from linked rare disease patient registries.

description: We have studied ZnOZnMgO multiple quantum wells by spectrally resolved transient four-wave mixing with both one- and two-color excitations. The presence of an extended signal at negative interpulse delays in the two-color experiment is attributed to the two-photon coherence resulting from the generation of biexcitons. This technique provides a means to observe a transient four-wave mixing from biexcitons in the absence of any other signal, and thereby provides the first clear evidence that biexcitons are present in narrow ZnOZnMgO quantum wells at room temperature. Dephasing times of the order of 100 fs for the biexcitons are measured.

description: Background: Children’s recreational sport settings typically sell energy dense, low nutrient products; however, it is unknown whether the same types of food and beverages are also marketed in these settings. Understanding food marketing in sports settings is important because the food industry often uses the promotion of physical activity to justify their products. This study aimed to document the ‘exposure’ and ‘power’ of food marketing present in public recreation facilities in Canada and assess differences between provinces with and without voluntary provincial nutrition guidelines for recreation facilities. Methods: Food marketing was measured in 51 sites using the Food and beverage Marketing Assessment Tool for Settings (FoodMATS). The frequency and repetition (‘exposure’) of food marketing and the presence of select marketing techniques, including child-targeted, sports-related, size, and healthfulness (‘power’), were assessed. Differences in ‘exposure’ and ‘power’ characteristics between sites in three guideline provinces (n = 34) and a non-guideline province (n = 17) were assessed using Pearson’s Chi squared tests of homogeneity and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: Ninety-eight percent of sites had food marketing present. The frequency of food marketing per site did not differ between guideline and non-guideline provinces (median = 29; p = 0.576). Sites from guideline provinces had a significantly lower proportion of food marketing occasions that were “Least Healthy” (47.9%) than sites from the non-guideline province (73.5%; p < 0.001). Use of child-targeted and sports-related food marketing techniques was significantly higher in sites from guideline provinces (9.5% and 10.9%, respectively), than in the non-guideline province (1.9% and 4.5% respectively; p values < 0.001). It was more common in the non-guideline province to use child-targeted and sports-related techniques to promote “Least Healthy” items (100.0% and 68.4%, respectively), compared to the guideline provinces (59.3% and 52.0%, respectively). Conclusions: Recreation facilities are a source of children’s exposure to unhealthy food marketing. Having voluntary provincial nutrition guidelines that recommend provision of healthier foods was not related to the frequency of food marketing in recreation facilities but was associated with less frequent marketing of unhealthy foods. Policy makers should provide explicit food marketing regulations that complement provincial nutrition guidelines to fulfill their ethical responsibility to protect children and the settings where children spend time.

Palaeoenvironmental changes of central Iran during the late Neoproterozoic and the possible impact on the Ediacaran biota
Creators: name: Farjandi, Farnoosh

description: The Ediacaran Period is a key interval in Earth history recording the early evolution of metazoans arising from less complex and microscopic life. Interestingly, this time in the Neoproterozoic was impacted by glaciations and global change in atmospheric and oceanic chemistry. Just how these changing conditions affected the biotic overturn, is of considerable interest globally, and in this thesis specifically focuses on Iran. The rock sequences of this age in Iran provide new insights regarding the habitats and environments in which this Ediacaran biota developed and thrived, and detailed sedimentological understanding of strata from this interval provides a detailed understanding of the triggers for the development of these fossil organisms developed and where they prospered, as well as the timing of their evolutionary advances. The preserved Ediacaran fossils discovered from scattered localities help to fill the knowledge gaps in the evolution of life during the late Neoproterozoic -early Cambrian, and consequently lead to a more profound understanding of the temporal coupling between biotic changes and paleoenvironmental conditions at the beginning of complex life.
Understanding the process, the mechanisms of the environmental change and how they impacted on the biota in that period of time, may all provide some keys to following environmental changes happening today and predicting future environmental and life changes. In particular, this research sheds light on the Precambrian shadow in central Iran. These challenges, however, are also opportunities for future research to improve our knowledge about and correlation of the Ediacaran stratigraphy, biota, and their environment in Iran and in the global context.

description: Background: ATP8A2 mutations have recently been described in several patients with severe, early-onset hypotonia and cognitive impairment. The aim of our study was to characterize the clinical phenotype of patients with ATP8A2 mutations. Methods: An observational study was conducted at multiple diagnostic centres. Clinical data is presented from 9 unreported and 2 previously reported patients with ATP8A2 mutations. We compare their features with 3 additional patients that have been previously reported in the medical literature. Results: Eleven patients with biallelic ATP8A2 mutations were identified, with a mean age of 9.4 years (range 2.5–28 years). All patients with ATP8A2 mutations (100%) demonstrated developmental delay, severe hypotonia and movement disorders, specifically chorea or choreoathetosis (100%), dystonia (27%) and facial dyskinesia (18%). Optic atrophy was observed in 78% of patients for whom funduscopic examination was performed. Symptom onset in all (100%) was noted before 6 months of age, with 70% having symptoms noted at birth. Feeding difficulties were common (91%) although most patients were able to tolerate pureed or thickened feeds, and 3 patients required gastrostomy tube insertion. MRI of the brain was normal in 50% of the patients. A smaller proportion was noted to have mild cortical atrophy (30%), delayed myelination (20%) and/or hypoplastic optic nerves (20%). Functional studies were performed on differentiated induced pluripotent cells from one child, which confirmed a decrease in ATP8A2 expression compared to control cells. Conclusions: ATP8A2 gene mutations have emerged as the cause of a novel neurological phenotype characterized by global developmental delays, severe hypotonia and hyperkinetic movement disorders, the latter being an important distinguishing feature. Optic atrophy is common and may only become apparent in the first few years of life, necessitating repeat ophthalmologic evaluation in older children. Early recognition of the cardinal features of this condition will facilitate diagnosis of this complex neurologic disorder.

description: This Article provides an assessment of the biometric policy of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and its consequences for the fundamental rights of migrants. It provides an overview of the technological aspects of biometrics, their application, and the legal framework in the context of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. This sets the background for an analysis of how and why Frontex uses biometrics to advance its goals. This Article analyses policy papers, legal provisions, and other sources, but particularly the Technology Foresight on Biometrics for the Future of Travel, a report on biometrics published by Frontex. This Article concludes that Frontex fails to account for the consequences of its biometric policy on fundamental rights when considering the effects of biometric technologies for the future.

Spatial and temporal patterns and predictors of butterfly species richness in Canada throughout the 20th century

description: There is great interest in ecology to determine the drivers of species richness. For many taxa, and in natural circumstances, temperature is often found to be a good predictor of richness. The goal of this thesis was to determine, amongst several human-related and natural, environmental and ecological variables, the most important broad-scale predictors of butterfly species richness across Canada. Also, I presented a test of whether spatial relationships are adequate surrogates for the temporal relationship between richness and predictor variables. Using precisely georeferenced and dated butterfly records across Canada, I created butterfly species richness maps for two periods (1900-1930 and 1960-1990), and then related them to candidate predictors. Natural variables such as temperature, precipitation and soil type tended to explain most of the variance in species richness, while human-related variables such as habitat fragmentation, habitat heterogeneity and pesticide density added very little. A comparison of temporal and spatial relationships showed that temperature was a consistent predictor of richness through time and space, but that the impact of human activities on richness differed. My results are consistent with the species-energy hypothesis while showing that human-related variables are not having a large measurable effect on butterfly species richness patterns in Canada at broad scales. Also of critical importance in this thesis is the difference I found between the spatial and temporal relationships of richness vs. human activity level. I show that the assumption commonly made in macro-ecology that spatial variables are appropriate surrogates for temporal ones, is not always correct.
