description: This study examine the pre-colonial dispute resolution system in Owoland. The study is aimed at exploring the dispute resolution system in Owo kingdom and to discuss the origin, forms, institutions and methods of dispute resolution system in Owo kingdom and to give an appraisal of the system. The study, therefore, examine the peculiarity of the dispute resolution system in Owo kingdom, analyses the pre-colonial conception and forms of dispute resolution among the people of Owo, and examine the institutions responsible for dispute resolution in pre-colonial Owo kingdom. The study emphasized that the peculiarity of the indigenous dispute resolution system in Owo Kingdom has not been given a historical appraisal and thus, the study is significant to give a concise exposition on the system of dispute resolution among the people of Owo kingdom. The study adopted descriptive and narrative approaches using both primary and secondary sources. The study provided a valid historical source of reference on the study of dispute resolution system in Owo and helps to awaken the spirit of cultural values and reconstruction of the history of traditional dispute resolution system in other part of Nigeria. The study recommended that the indigenous dispute resolution system among the people of Owo was a system worthy of historical appreciation and appraisal, and this should be improved upon. This paper is deemed necessary as a result of the urge by indigenes of the town to recognize the mode and institutions of dispute resolution system among the people of Owo and to separate such from the influence of western dispute resolution system as well as the need to develop along line the western system of dispute resolution without prejudicing their cultural past. Also, this paper is a scholarly attempt to unravel the uniqueness about the impact of dispute resolution system on the people of Owo kingdom
Building an acoustical-environment monitoring system

description: The purpose of this project is to design and develop an acoustical-environment monitoring system. The prototype of this system is able to monitor ambient noise level, determine the impulse response and reverberation time of a room, calculate the speech transmission index (STI), and act as a sound masking system. The method used to achieve these goals is to continually monitor the amplitude of incoming sound, while also radiating low-level maximum length sequence (MLS) sound signals. The MLS signal received by microphones is then cross-correlated with the output signal in order to determine the impulse response of the room. The STI is determined with knowledge of the ambient noise level, impulse response, and a user defined speech level. To justify continuously emitting pseudorandom noise, the system also provides a sound masking function by filtering the emitted MLS to match the characteristics of masking sound. In doing so, the device meets the demand for privacy in buildings that lack a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)system such as newly developed sustainable buildings. The prototype consists of a laptop, running MATLAB script, as well as the necessary peripherals such as microphones and loud speakers. A series of programs were written to monitor sound level, emit and filter MLS signals, measure the room response, calculate the STI,and determine the reverberation time for eight different octave bands. An A-weighting filter was also designed to adjust the measured ambient noise level in order to correspond to human hearing. Our group has begun to lay the foundation for the project; however, there are still improvements to be made. The prototype’s sound level measurement has been verified by a commercial sound level meter; however, due to time constraints, there has been a limited amount of testing for the impulse response, STI, and reverberation time measurements. It is recommended that future groups work to improve the timing of the impulse response function, perhaps by using a language or data-acquisition method that would allow for time-stamping the input and output signals, and run further testing. It is also recommended that future groups further test the quality of the sound masking system and rigorously determine the best MLS filter required for the task. It had also been found that MATLAB's built in function "xcorr" ran faster than the originally planned hadamard transform method [2] of cross-correlation. It is recommended that future groups look into this part of the code specifically. The hadamard transform method may have been necessary in the past, as [2] had been published in 1983 and assumes 1 microsecond per calculation, but there are possible alternatives including "xcorr" and "cconv" functions in MATLAB. It is suspected that further optimization of the code would result from examining this issue. Of course, any further optimization by future groups would be beneficial to the project as well.

Changes in diversion rates following introduction of bi-weekly garbage collection in Canadian municipalities : lessons for Metro Vancouver
Creators: name: Lebard, Henry
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Research Question: Based on findings of diversion rate increases that are believed to be result of bi-weekly garbage collection implementation (once every two weeks as opposed to every week) in Canadian municipalities, should Metro Vancouver implement biweekly garbage collection? Based on the research a number of Canadian municipalities, a change from weekly collection of waste to collection of waste every two weeks does not increase diversion rates on its own. Metro Vancouver municipalities therefore should not implement bi-weekly waste (non-recyclables and non-compostables) collection, unless it is accompanied by other waste management programs. This paper argues that in order to increase diversion rates in Metro Vancouver, environmentally friendly consumer-producer waste management programs and approaches should be implemented alongside bi-weekly collection. These programs and approaches consist of the following: comingled blue-box recycling, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility), green-bin composting, and community education. In order to maximize diversion rates and reach the ultimate goal of efficient waste management, which for the purposes of this paper are increased diversion rates and waste reduction in a cost-effective manner, Greater Vancouver municipalities should implement bi-weekly collection alongside the above programs.

Das Projekt bot eine fruchtbare Verknüpfung von kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Theorie und universitärer Praxis.
description: Video-mediated communication should be considered as a genuine mode of communication characterized by technological settings, capabilities, skills and competences of participants, and the specific purposes of the communicative activities. However, with videoconferencing being so similar to face-to-face communication, users tend to consider it to be just that. These presumptions can lead to problems and misunderstandings, and point up the specific features of videomediated communication – but new insights are also gained into the nature of face-to-face communication. Actual physical presence, for example, turns out to be a major element of human interaction with telepresence being the attempt to reproduce it in a technical setting. Results from the analysis of a teleteaching seminar show the ways in which this falls short of expectations – while fulfilling other expectations at the same time.

An der Universität Duisburg-Essen werden Systeme entwickelt, die den Nutzer durch automatische Anpassung an seine Ziele optimal unterstützen.
description: As a consequence of increasing Internet capabilities and capacities, as well as a rising amount of information and services provided on the Web, methods and mechanisms are required to provide users with that information and those services which are relevant to the user’s current context of system use. This system adaptation can occur regarding several aspects of a Web application. Content-adaptation can be used, for example, for information search and filtering. Adapting navigation and dialog structures can assist users in finding the desired information in a more efficient way. The graphical representation can be adapted, for example, to device requirements or the user profile. The effectiveness of adaptation will depend on the degree to which users perceive the adaptation as being useful for a specific situation of system usage, therefore the system must have knowledge of this context. Automated adaptation can occur according to various sorts of context information. We present an approach integrating context-engineering mechanisms within the engineering process of Web applications. An architecture and a framework for context-adaptive Web applications is shown, which enables the usage of the context-engineering artefacts for context-adaption in the runtime application, at varying application levels. The use of this framework for application development is illustrated.

The effects of Dennstaedtia punctilobula on tree seedling regeneration post forest harvesting
Creators: name: English, Kate
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Dennstaedtia punctilobula (Hayscented fern) is a native invasive fern found in eastern North America. It hinders the growth of many tree species, significantly Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple). This fern regenerates quickly on disturbed sites that range in light levels. This makes deforested sites an ideal growing habitat. D. punctilobula is able to hinder the growth of tree seedlings by intercepting sunlight with their thick frond canopy. The thick fronds also make an ideal living habitat for insects and rodents which are known to feed on germinating tree seedlings. As well, its thick root system is proven to possess allelopathic attributes which result in a physical and chemical barrier to germinating tree seedlings. Nutrients found in the mineral soil are necessary for tree seedlings to grow; however, growth is impeded by the fern’s roots. Although D. punctilobula is a difficult species to remove from a site once established, its further growth and expansion can be hindered through different tree harvesting designs and alternative silvicultural practices of scalping, mowing and herbicide treatments.

description: Können in einer virtuellen Umgebung auch soziale Situationen so überzeugend gestaltet werden, dass die Akteure in die Kommunikation mit virtuellen, computergenerierten Agenten mit ihrem ganzen Denken und Fühlen eingebunden sind? Am Beispiel der virtuellen Mitarbeiter in einem virtuellen Unternehmen wird gezeigt, dass dieses Ziel bereits durch eine geeignete Gestaltung der Kommunikationscharakteristika computergenerierter Agenten erreicht werden kann, die sicherstellt, dass sie im Gespräch mit dem Nutzer in „persönlichkeitsspezifischer“ Weise reagieren. Für solche „sozialen“ virtuellen Umgebungen sind zahlreiche Einsatzfelder in Training, Psychotherapie und Forschung denkbar.
description: Can computer-generated agents (agent avatars) exert social influence on actors in a virtual environment, even when the actors are aware that the agents don’t represent veritable human beings? This question is crucial for a reasonable use of “social” virtual environments. Taking the virtual employees of a virtual company as an example, it is shown that agent avatars can affect the actions, thoughts and feelings of actors, if their communication patterns are designed adequately to react “individually” when communicating with the actors. Potential benefits of “social” virtual environments for training, therapy and research purposes are discussed.

description: The empirical literature in financial accounting is vast. In this overview, it is shown that the results of empirical research support the Decision Usefulness approach to financial reporting. The results also reveal that financial reports do have information content. Value-relevance studies comparing German GAAP and investor-oriented GAAP, like those of the US, demonstrate that there is little difference between the value-relevance of German and US financial reporting. Furthermore, the results indicate that the information content of accounting data varies with the organisation of the financial system and other economical and institutional factors. Several studies about the information content of fair-value-based data versus historical- cost-based data suggest that historical-cost-based accounting data are more relevant for the investors than fair-value-based accounting data. A wide range of empirical studies reveal that financial ratios are useful in the estimation of future company situations, especially as predictor of corporate bankruptcy.

description: This article portrays a structurationist perspective for the empirical analysis of industries. It was developed at the Institute of Organization and Planning at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Central components of structuration theory, such as its conception of knowledge, action and social systems along with the duality of social structures are briefly reconstructed. With this, a general frame of reference is developed that is applied to the industry construct. This application is accomplished by integrating ideas from established perspectives on industries; i.e. economic, network, and cognitive perspectives. Based on this, the article draws conclusions for empirical research activities that centre round the notion of combining qualitative and quantitative research designs iteratively. The article concludes with insights on the benefits and challenges of such an approach to analyzing industries.

A qualitative cradle to grave life cycle analysis of a BC disposable-coffee-cup's sustainability : what is the overall sustainability of disposable coffee cups, and are re-usable coffee cups a better alternative?
Creators: name: Connolly, Amanda
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Today’s popular market for grab and go disposable items sells the appearance of an easy and convenient consumerist lifestyle. For a lot of people, the reliance on these products has become an important part of their daily activities. One of the best examples of this can be seen through single-use disposable coffee cups. Although their convenience is undeniable, most people do not consider the impact this product has on the environment as they make their daily trips to their favorite coffee shops, and of course along with it, the trips to the garbage can. There are various types of materials that a disposable coffee cup can be made of. One of the most common is the polyethylene paper cup, and is currently used by Starbucks, one of the world’s biggest coffee franchises (Starbucks 2010). Another common material is polystyrene, or Styrofoam, as it is more commonly known. There are many variations within these categories that are also used as disposable coffee cups, such as some that contain low to 100% of recycled material (Franklin 2009). But for the purpose of this assessment, polyethylene paper and polystyrene cups are the two common material choices that will be analyzed along with a comparison of reusable coffee cups. This analysis will be conducted through a qualitative “cradle to grave” life cycle analysis, revealing the environmental impacts pertaining to a general region of BC.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: In World War II, conditions that were external to the dairy industry gave rise to special governmental regulations affecting the industry. Procedures under the Federal milk marketing agreements and order program, which had been established to stabilize fluid milk prices in a depression proved both serviceable and adaptable under the new environment. This report considers the regulations that were of greatest importance to the functioning of Federal milk marketing agreements and orders. The price-support programs that were transformed from peace to war and back to peacetime uses; price controls; subsidies which served, if not to increase, at least to stabilize production and prevent liquidation of herds; and set-aside, limitation, allocation, and rationing orders. The latter measures were employed to effect distribution which ordinarily is accomplished through the uncontrolled pricing mechanism. The report tells when each measure came into effect and when it was terminated. In each instance, the major reasons for the action are given, although a brief report obviously cannot appraise and evaluate the merits pf each action. Because price control had such an impact on production and distribution, the greatest emphasis is placed on the evolution of the intricate structure of ceiling prices for fluid milk. Ceiling prices of the leading dairy products also are summarized because the se prices enter into the formula pricing of milk for fluid consumption. The war program of the dairy industry was implemented not only by the specific regulations, price relationships, and subsidies which are summarized in this report, but also by the efficiency, cooperation, and sustained efforts of many producers and processors of milk , and by the close cooperation between most dairy organizations and the Government.

description: Due to the high effort to implement Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) in education, the institutions concerned react cautiously to new requirements of future engineers, e.g. Software Engineering. The CSCW and Software Engineering lab at University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) is conducted as a project setup of students’ teams, each team consisting of four persons spatially distributed. This article describes the efforts that have been made at UDE concerning the development of new education methodology in a distributed collaborative environment. In the context of distributed collaborative learning, it is usually difficult for students to be aware of others’ activities and for instructors to oversee the process and regulate the collaboration. In order to facilitate collaborative learning, intelligent agents were developed to support the awareness and regulation of the collaboration. This article discusses the roles of intelligent agents and how they support students and instructors in a synchronically distributed collaborative-learning environment: PASSENGER. Furthermore, multicultural differences between the learners is an important issue which can influence learners’ collaboration processes (such as participation, coordination, teacher intervention, or group interaction) in a distributed collaborative learning environment where users are geographically distributed and collaborate through a web-based learning environment. This article also highlights the cultural awareness dimension of intercultural communication amongst geographically distributed learners.

description: This article discusses the evaluation of workplace agreements by human resource managers and how they assess the consequences of an increased use of these agreements. A correspondence analysis is used to investigate the effects of the perceived relationship to the works council on the evaluation of workplace agreements. Data were collected in a telephone survey of 1000 human resource managers responsible for signing works agreements in a random sample of firms with more than 100 employees. The relationship to the works council is measured using a typology that combines two dimensions: power and willingness to cooperate. The results show that these variables are „more closely“ associated with the evaluation of workplace agreements than structural variables, e.g. the size of the firm. The human resource managers report the least favourable assessments of workplace agreements in firms with a works council which is more powerful and less willing to cooperate. They perceive such agreements as reducing flexibility and having fewer advantages. Nevertheless, in this situation as in others, the assessments are quite positive. In total, workplace agreements are highly valued by the majority of the human resource managers.

description: Der Einsatz moderner webgestützter Hörsaaltechnologie an der Universität macht Präsenzveranstaltungen nicht überflüssig oder vermag sie gar zu ersetzen, sondern versteht sich eher als ihre sinnvolle Ergänzung. Dieser Beitrag ist ein Erfahrungsbericht mit einer speziell bei den Duisburger Ingenieuren entwickelten Technologie, dem von der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Fakultät ausgezeichneten, so genannten iPAL-System.
description: In many universities, including Duisburg-Essen, lecture rooms are being equipped with modern technology, particularly with electronic whiteboards that offer pen-based input, similar to traditional chalkboards. At the same time, wireless networks open digital communication channels between lecture halls and “the outside world”. This enables the integration of authentic material created during presence lectures with web-based learning support systems. This article describes the “iPAL” system, which was designed and implemented in the Institute for Computer Science and Interactive Systems of the University of Duisburg-Essen. The system allows instructors to upload the slides they created during a lecture and integrates this with a variety of interaction opportunities for the students (e. g. wikis and discussion forums) and with exercise group management. During the summer term 2004, the system was elected the Best Web Support for Lectures within the Faculty of Engineering. Evaluations of system usage show that the students who used the system most also performed best in written exams.

description: Um den wissenschaftlichen Standards der experimentalpsychologischen Methodenausbildung auch unter ungünstigen finanziellen Rahmenbedingungen weiterhin gerecht werden zu können, wurde die netzgestützte Lernumgebung „Laboratorium für Online-Research – Lab.OR“ entwickelt. In dieser Umgebung lassen sich Experimente, die früher in apparativ ausgestatteten Laborräumen der Universität durchgeführt wurden, nun mit Hilfe von Internettechnologie orts- und zeitunabhängig im Internet realisieren. Eine starke internationale Nachfrage bestätigt die Nützlichkeit dieser webbasierten Lernumgebung.
description: The teaching of experimental methodology is essential in sciences like chemistry and physics but also psychology. Traditionally and rather successfully, this is done in experimental laboratory classes. Due to fincancial and infrastructural problems of mass universities, it has become nearly impossible to keep up the standards of experimental psychology laboratory courses. To overcome these problems, the learning environment Laboratory for Online Research – Lab.OR was developed at the Department for Cognitive Psycholoy of the Institute for Cognition and Communication, University Duisburg-Essen. Using Lab.OR, students and instructors can plan, create, and conduct (internetbased) experiments, analyze the gathered data, and present and discuss their findings in an online environment without the need to learn a programming language – the Lab.OR includes an authoring system for webbased psychological experimenting. Experiences and evaluation studies show the success of the approach not only in teaching students the methods of experimental research both in the lab and on the internet but also in realising a laboratory course in a economic way. Universities in Europe and beyond are highly interested in adopting this approach.

description: Cosmological observations from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) offer crucial insights into the Early Universe, enabling us to trace its evolution back to lifetimes as short as 0.01 seconds. Upcoming CMB spectrum measurements will achieve unprecedented precision, allowing for more accurate extraction of information about the primordial neutrinos. This provides an opportunity to test whether their properties align with the predictions of the standard cosmological model or indicate the presence of new physics that influenced the evolution of the MeV-temperature plasma. A key component in understanding how new physics may have affected primordial neutrinos is solving the neutrino Boltzmann equation. In this paper, we address this question by developing a novel approach -- neutrino Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC). We discuss it in-depth, highlighting its model independence, transparency, and computational efficiency -- features that current state-of-the-art methods lack. Then, we introduce a proof-of-concept implementation of the neutrino DSMC and apply it to several toy scenarios, showcasing key aspects of the primordial plasma's evolution in the presence of new physics.

description: This project is designed to answer a question of sustainability in a field of technology where data is stored electronically. Alan Doyle, a records manager at the University of British Columbia (UBC), has sponsored three questions that will ultimately determine the answer of whether storing data electronically is sustainable fiscally and environmentally. Simultaneously, this project also serves to provide firsthand knowledge of green data center methods for future developments at UBC. The challenges this report has attempted to answer include: 1) What is the current state? (i.e. What are the problems/What are people doing?) i) Businesses are running out of room to expand their storage media because they are using too much electricity. ii) Organizations and Initiatives are developing to invent standards and influence manufacturers to create greener technologies. iii) The amount of carbon emissions put out by data centers are magnified depending on what type of power plant is used to harness this electric energy. 2) What methods are being used to reduce the impact data storage has on the environment? i) The invention of Power Usage Effectiveness Tool by Green Grid helps data center users calculate how much of their total power is used by IT equipment themselves—determines efficiency of data center. ii) Customization of data center hardware marks big improvements to data center efficiency. iii) Hardware and software upgrades such as Dynamic Voltage Frequency Switching, Solid State Hard Drives, Virtualization, and hybrid UPS systems further increase the efficiency output of data centers and greatly reduces the amount of electricity usage in the data center. 3) What should UBC do? (Recommendations) i) Currently UBC is trying to integrate scattered small data centers across campus into its newly built pharmaceutical data center so it can utilize sustainable facility specifications. ii) However, implementation of a structured, centralized system is needed to employ the use of virtualization and further reduce electricity consumption in idling servers. iii) Finally, a method of records management needs to be initiated to free up cluttered unnecessary information and allow the servers to last as long as possible before a capacity issue comes into play.
Enhancing Few-Shot Image Classification through Learnable Multi-Scale Embedding and Attention Mechanisms

description: In the context of few-shot classification, the goal is to train a classifier using a limited number of samples while maintaining satisfactory performance. However, traditional metric-based methods exhibit certain limitations in achieving this objective. These methods typically rely on a single distance value between the query feature and support feature, thereby overlooking the contribution of shallow features. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel approach in this paper. Our approach involves utilizing a multi-output embedding network that maps samples into distinct feature spaces. The proposed method extracts feature vectors at different stages, enabling the model to capture both global and abstract features. By utilizing these diverse feature spaces, our model enhances its performance. Moreover, employing a self-attention mechanism improves the refinement of features at each stage, leading to even more robust representations and improved overall performance. Furthermore, assigning learnable weights to each stage significantly improved performance and results. We conducted comprehensive evaluations on the MiniImageNet and FC100 datasets, specifically in the 5-way 1-shot and 5-way 5-shot scenarios. Additionally, we performed cross-domain tasks across eight benchmark datasets, achieving high accuracy in the testing domains. These evaluations demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method in comparison to state-of-the-art approaches. https://github.com/FatemehAskari/MSENet

description: Modern technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) promise increasing opportunities for analyzing and understanding customer behaviour in tomorrow’s retail industry. Since such technology is not yet widespread, it does not currently offer useful information. The alternative is to use retail transaction data. This method cannot tell where and how inside a store people buy, but it does reveal which products they buy and in which store. Here we show examples of analysis for the retail industry using raw data on retail transactions provided by the largest German household-panel. Our aim is to show and to discuss different methods of measuring customer loyalty. To this end, we are looking at different areas like retail chains, stores and products in the dental care category. The methods range from measuring the “share of wallet” and the “level of penetration” to assessing detailed buying sequences of households. The results are illustrated using schemes and tables comparing the different companies and the expected and average values of key figures. They show the effects of different market strategies and identify more or less successful companies. Finally, we provide a more manufacturer-oriented method of data-mining which analyses combinations of products to find out whether known complementary products like toothbrushes and toothpaste are really bought in combination or not.
