Envisioning fascist space, time, and body : Japanese-painting during the Fifteen-Year War (1931-1945)
Creators: name: Ikeda, Asato
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation investigates how fascist ideology—the modern political ideology that promotes spiritual collectivism—was translated into the Japanese context and was mediated through the visual culture. My study ultimately locates wartime Japan in the global politics and culture of the 1930s and the 1940s. The dissertation scrutinizes the development of both Japanese-style paintings (Nihon-ga) and Western-style paintings (yōga) in the wartime period, exploring how they manifest fascist imaginations of social space, historical time, and the human body. It considers the Japanese paintings in relation to ideas that have been identified as fascist. I examine works by such artists as Saeki Shunkō, Uemura Shōen, Miyamoto Saburō, and Fujita Tsuguharu, focusing on issues of social regimentation, new classicism, eugenics, and the mechanized human body. My study is not only an important contribution to scholarship on the art produced during the war—the period that was long considered “the dark valley”—but is also the first comprehensive study to investigate the question of Japanese fascism in the discipline of art history. Using cultural translation as a model of analysis and developing a nuanced vocabulary to describe wartime Japan within the framework of fascism, I challenge the notion that fascism was a phenomenon that existed only in Europe.

title: The curious case of V CVn

description: From many decades of observations, the star V Canum Venaticorum (V CVn) has strange behaviour regarding the maxima and minima of its light curve and linear polarisation, which have an approximately inverse relationship (sometimes with a lead/lag time between them) and an almost constant polarisation position angle. One theory proposed to explain this strange behaviour is the existence of a bow shock driven by a spherically symmetric dusty wind from the star. In this theory, the wind is assumed to vary with time due to radial pulsations. This work uses a new framework developed in Zeus3D, a multi-physics magnetohydrodynamics code, to test this theory. The results of this work show that when a time-varying stellar wind is at its maximum brightness the polarisation signal is at a minimum due to a dense, symmetric shell which forms around the star. Conversely, when the brightness is at a minimum, the symmetric shell around the star is much less dense, and the polarisation is instead dominated by the asymmetric bow shock structure, causing the polarisation signal to attain a maximum value. Numerically reproducing the observed inverse relationship between the polarisation and light curve provides a strong theoretical argument that a variable stellar wind bow shock is the solution to the curious case of V CVn.

description: Quantum entanglement relies on the fact that pure quantum states are dispersive and often inseparable. Since pure classical states are dispersion-free they are always separable and cannot be entangled. However, entanglement is possible for epistemic, dispersive classical states. We show how such epistemic entanglement arises for epistemic states of classical dynamical systems based on phase space partitions that are not generating. We compute epistemically entangled states for two coupled harmonic oscillators.

description: We investigate the viability of having dark matter in the minimal left-right symmetric theory. We find the lightest right-handed neutrino with a mass around keV as the only viable candidate consistent with a TeV scale of left-right symmetry. In order to account for the correct relic density with such low scales, the thermal overproduction of the dark matter in the early universe is compensated by a sufficient late entropy production due to late decay of heavier right-handed neutrinos. We point out that the presence of the right-handed charge-current interactions, operative around the QCD phase transition, has a crucial impact on the amount of dilution, as does the nature of the phase transition itself. A careful numerical study, employing the Boltzmann equations, reveals the existence of a narrow window for the right-handed gauge boson mass, possibly within the reach of LHC (in disagreement with a previous study). We also elaborate on a variety of astrophysical, cosmological and low energy constraints on this scenario.

description: A time-dependent approach for the kinetic energy release (KER) spectrum is developed for a fragmentation of a diatomic molecule after an electronic decay process, e.g. Auger process. It allows one to simulate the time-resolved spectra and provides more insight into the molecular dynamics than the time-independent approach. Detailed analysis of the time-resolved emitted electron and KER spectra sheds light on the interrelation between wave packet dynamics and spectra.

A numerical procedure using self consistent field-like method to reconstruct the real position of observed object from sensor sensitivity is presented and the results are discussed. Unfortunately, the procedure fails to approach the desired results due to the existence of quadratic terms.

Making space for peace : international protective accompaniment in Colombia (2007-2009)
Creators: name: Koopman, Sara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: International protective accompaniment is a strategy used in conflict zones which puts people who are less at risk literally next to people under threat because of their work for peace and justice. Thousands of human rights workers, grassroots organizations, and communities have been protected in this way. The term accompaniment was first used for this work by Peace Brigades International (PBI), which sent the first international team to Guatemala in 1983. There are now international accompaniers working with 24 organizations in ten countries. Colombia is the country with the largest number of international groups, with twelve. Accompaniment in Colombia is widely used to protect small farmers resisting or returning from being displaced by paramilitaries tied to large agribusiness. These campesinos are organized in what are often called ‘peace communities’. I spent 15 months in Colombia (2007 – 2009) holding ongoing conversations with accompaniers about how accompaniment works, or to use Peace Brigades’ slogan, how it ‘makes space for peace.’ Paradoxically accompaniers use the fact that their lives ‘count’ more (because of passport/economic/racial privilege), to build a world where everyone’s lives ‘count’, where it matters when a small farmer is killed in the Colombian jungle. I was hoping that accompaniment was using privilege in such a way that it could ‘use it up’, that is, that it could dismantle the systems that make some lives count more. I did not find that, but I argue that accompaniment can wear down the structures that grant privilege unequally – but it can also reinforce those, depending on how it is done. It is easier for accompaniers to fall into colonial patterns that make some lives worth more than others when they understand themselves as nonpartisan civilian peacekeepers, rather than emphasizing building and activating chains of solidarity to make accompaniment work. It is also easier to fall into those traps when accompaniers see space as abstract and elide how race and other privileges shape their work. To change structures of domination, accompaniment needs not only to leverage difference, but also simultaneously engage in building connections across difference and distance, through chains of solidarity.

description: This study investigated the development of a physician practice reflection tool by Continuing Professional Development (CPD) educators at the University of Calgary, focusing on the operationalization of the Physician Practice Improvement (PPI) system. The problem addressed was the evolving expectations of physician CPD in Canada, emphasizing the need for tools that support reflective practice and meet specific learning needs. Using an instrumental case study methodology within an interpretive paradigm, this study explored the design process of the My Practice Improvement (MyPI) tool from November 2020 to November 2021. Data were collected through field observations, document reviews, and interviews, providing insights into tool conceptualization, educators' collaborative efforts in tool design, and the challenges faced in the project process. These findings revealed considerable advancements in the translation of the PPI system into CPD programming. The MyPI tool was designed to facilitate physicians' self-assessment and reflection, thus aligning their learning with individual practice improvements. The key strategies developed included structured guidance for reflective practice and linking learning with quality improvement metrics. This study illustrates how CPD tools can be designed to empower physicians to direct their learning and improve their patient care. This research contributes to the field by detailing a practical approach to developing CPD tools that support PPI systems. It offers insights into collaborative educational practices and the potential for broader application across CPD programs aimed at addressing physician practice improvement.

description: This study measures whether oil prices affect financial liquidity (FL) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabi (KSA). The results indicate a positive association between oil prices (OP) and FL in the medium run. FL led OP in the short run during the global financial recession, when the KSA used foreign reserves to stabilize the impact of low OP. Similarly, geopolitical risk (GR) led OP in the medium term and had a positive influence on FL in the short term, especially during periods of higher uncertainty. The correlation between OP and FL becomes more noticeable in the medium term in the presence of GR. Short-run volatility can exert pressure on foreign reserves, which can be effectively managed by keeping reserves in the national currency. Similarly, economic growth sources other than oil income and a peaceful solution to regional differences can reduce defense spending.

description: We discuss the topological phenomena in the QCD-like theories with variable number of fundamental $N_f$ or adjoint $N_a$ fermions, focusing on the temperatures at or above the critical value $T_c$ of chiral symmetry restoration. Nonzero average of the Polyakov line, or holonomy, splits instantons into (anti)selfdual dyons, and we study both bosonic and fermionic interactions between them. The high temperature phase is a dilute gas of "molecules" made of $2N_c$ dyons, neutral in topological, electric and magnetic charges. At intermediate temperatures the diluteness reaches some critical level at which chiral symmetry gets restored: we explain why it is very different for the fundamental and adjoint fermions. At high density the ensemble is a strongly coupled liquid with crystal-like short range order: we speculate about its structure at small and large $N_f$. We finally explaine certain lattice observations and suggest a number of further lattice tests.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Among Youth Ice Hockey and Ringette Players

Subjects: subject: FAI syndrome

description: High impact sports lead to intense stress and wear on weight bearing joints such as the knee, hip, or ankle, potentially resulting in trauma to the joints. Ice hockey is one such sport and has been shown to be a risk factor for hip and groin problems in athletes, in particular, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. In this thesis, a systematic review of the literature is used to examine prevalence of FAI syndrome and methods of clinical and radiological assessment in adolescent athletes (aged 10-19) compared to young adult athletes (aged 20-35) in all sports. A screening protocol for suspected FAI syndrome was developed to examine the prevalence of signs and symptoms associated with FAI syndrome and was examined for intra -and inter-rater reliability. A cross-sectional study design was utilized to examine the presence of signs and symptoms associated with FAI syndrome in ice hockey and ringette athletes aged 14-24. In addition to completion of the hip screening protocol, participants completed a focused hip history questionnaire, the International Hip Outcome (iHOT-33) Tool, and preseason baseline questionnaires (PBQs). Data were collected for 270 participants (166 males, 104 females), and findings indicated a high prevalence of suspected FAI syndrome (signs and symptoms) in this sample. Finally, 28 males and 30 females from the larger sample underwent bilateral hip radiographs (x-rays) for examination of morphologies associated with FAI syndrome and subsequent diagnosis. Findings across all studies demonstrated a high prevalence of signs and symptoms of FAI syndrome and subsequent FAI syndrome diagnosis. Future research should investigate incidence of FAI syndrome in this population and measures for early detection, such as implementation of a screening protocol (secondary prevention), and subsequent development of primary prevention strategies.

description: We introduce an orbital dependent electron tunneling model and implement it within the atom superposition approach for simulating scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Applying our method, we analyze the convergence and the orbital contributions to the tunneling current and the corrugation of constant current STM images above the W(110) surface. In accordance with a previous study [Heinze et al., Phys. Rev. B 58, 16432 (1998)], we find atomic contrast reversal depending on the bias voltage. Additionally, we analyze this effect depending on the tip-sample distance using different tip models, and find two qualitatively different behaviors based on the tip orbital composition. As an explanation, we highlight the role of the real space shape of the orbitals involved in the tunneling. STM images calculated by our model agree well with Tersoff-Hamann and Bardeen results. The computational efficiency of our model is remarkable as the k-point samplings of the surface and tip Brillouin zones do not affect the computation time, in contrast to the Bardeen method.

description: In the framework of the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism, we study the processes of $ψ(nS)$ and $Υ(nS)$ decay into a lepton pair or a charm pair associated with two jets up to the next-to-leading order in velocity expansion. We present the analytic expressions for the differential decay rate to the invariant mass of the lepton pair or charm pair. We find that the ratio of the next-to-leading order short-distance coefficient to the leading order one is in the range from -5.5 to -12.4. The relativistic corrections are so large that they modify the leading order prediction significantly. Utilizing the analytic expressions, we also investigate the relativistic corrections in different kinematic regions and their dependence on the masses of the initial-state quarkonium and the final-state fermion. In addition, we study the momentum distribution of $D^{*+}$ in the process $Υ(1S)\to c\bar{c}gg\to D^{*+}X$.

description: In December 2019, the first cases of a new contagious disease were diagnosed in the city of Wuhan, in China. Eventually, the novel disease was named Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the new virus was identified as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Prior to COVID-19 there were spread of diseases like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) but the fatality ratio was comparatively lesser to the fatality caused by COVID-19. Also, the number of COVID-19 cases has markedly outnumbered the number of cases in both SARS and MERS. Past pandemics were caused by a wide range of microbes, primarily viruses, but also bacteria. Similar to all known pandemics throughout history, COVID-19 has been accompanied by a large degree of fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and economic disaster worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “a pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease”. The Indian government’s response to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic was undoubtedly swift but apparently lacked strategic planning and coordination in its implementation. The first case of COVID-19 was reported on January 30, 2020 and thereafter, the COVID-19 cases escalated in India. The countries across the world initiated appropriate containment measures to bring the spread under control. The government of India imposed lockdown at a very short notice of only few hours and implemented it from March 24, 2020 with initially appealed to the people of India to go for self-imposed people’s curfew called Janata curfew (on March 22, 2020). The government undertook emergency measure by invoking the Disaster Management Act 2005, the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 and also imposed curfew throughout lockdown period which was extended from every three weeks. Violation of the lockdown norms imposed by the Government under E.D. Act 1897 amounts to an offence punishable under section 188 of IPC. The unprecedented situation has in fact, halted the socio economic activities and raised various issues concerning human rights.

description: Health harming masculine gender practices are a root cause of many interpersonal and personal transgressions that create harm and can lead to overt forms of gender-based violence. There is a critical need for creative approaches that combat various types of harmful behaviour linked to masculinities and male norms. Through a research process involving auto ethnography and devised theatre practice, this thesis articulates how specific theatre tools might be applied to engage people in procedures that hold potential to shift these harmful norms and prevent violence.

description: Privacy amplification (PA) is an essential post-processing step in quantum key distribution (QKD) for removing any information an eavesdropper may have on the final secret key. In this paper, we consider delaying PA of the final key after its use in one-time pad encryption and prove its security. We prove that the security and the key generation rate are not affected by delaying PA. Delaying PA has two applications: it serves as a tool for significantly simplifying the security proof of QKD with a two-way quantum channel, and also it is useful in QKD networks with trusted relays. To illustrate the power of the delayed PA idea, we use it to prove the security of a qubit-based two-way deterministic QKD protocol which uses four states and four encoding operations.

description: As demonstrated by Chernodub, strong magnetic field forces vacuum to develop real condensates of electrically charged rho mesons, which form an anisotropic inhomogeneous superconducting state similar to Abrikosov vortex lattice. As far as electromagnetic field behaviour is concerned, this state of vacuum constitutes a hyperbolic metamaterial [1]. Here we demonstrate that spatial variations of magnetic field may lead to formation of electromagnetic "black holes" inside this metamaterial. Similar to real black holes, horizon area of the electromagnetic "black holes" is quantized in units of the effective "Planck scale" squared. The magnetic fields of the required strength and geometrical configuration may be created on Earth in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. We evaluate electromagnetic field distribution around an electromagnetic "black hole" which may be created as a result of such collision.

description: In western Canada, the development of unconventional oil and gas resources in low-permeability reservoirs has increased dramatically in the last two decades. Production of these resources typically requires hydraulicfracturing stimulation to increase permeability, as well as disposal of excess brines into permeable rock units. Both of these industrial processes can lead to induced seismicity (human-caused earthquakes). This thesis applies several approaches in two study areas in western Canada where induced earthquakes have occurred, mainly using existing open-source software. Machine learning (ML), a rapidly growing artificial intelligence approach, is combined with a probabilistic non-linear global search algorithm to construct a new seismicity catalog for the northern Montney play in eastern BC using data from both public and private seismograph stations. PhaseNet, a popular ML method that has been pre-trained using historical earthquake catalogs from around the world, is used for detection of P- and S-wave arrivals (phases). A Gaussian mixture model associator, GaMMA, is used to associate phases into events. Hypocentre locations are determined from the phase picks using the NonLinLoc algorithm. Geological context for the seismicity event distribution is supplied by existing published faults as well as new fault interpretations using 2-D seismic profiles. A growing cloud of seismicity, consistent with the Kaiser effect, is observed along a mapped fault near a disposal zone. This phenomenon is modelled using pore-pressure diffusion, numerically simulated here using code that I developed. In the Musreau Lake region ofwestern Alberta, a different type of analysis is applied, in part because a comprehensive seismicity catalog has been published using a similar ML approach to that described above. Ambient-noise interferometry, which uses cross-correlation of background noise between pairs of seismograph stations, was used to investigate temporal changes in subsurface velocity associated with pore-pressure diffusion and induced seismicity. The results using the NoisePy software show a good recovery of relative velocity changes between pair stations. Further, statistical analysis is required to construct robust observations containing all retrieved signals. Finally, areas for possible future work are proposed, including the use of satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) as a complementary method for seismological studies of induced earthquakes and slow-slip events, as well as fully coupled physics-based simulation and inversion of induced seismicity processes.
A Deep Learning Based Method for Fast Registration of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images

description: Image registration is used in many medical image analysis applications, such as tracking the motion of tissue in cardiac images, where cardiac kinematics can be an indicator of tissue health. Registration is a challenging problem for deep learning algorithms because ground truth transformations are not feasible to create, and because there are potentially multiple transformations that can produce images that appear correlated with the goal. Unsupervised methods have been proposed to learn to predict effective transformations, but these methods take significantly longer to predict than established baseline methods. For a deep learning method to see adoption in wider research and clinical settings, it should be designed to run in a reasonable time on common, mid-level hardware. Fast methods have been proposed for the task of image registration but often use patch-based methods which can affect registration accuracy for a highly dynamic organ such as the heart. In this thesis, a fast, volumetric registration model is proposed for the use of quantifying cardiac strain. The proposed Deep Learning Neural Network (DLNN) is designed to utilize an architecture that can com-pute convolutions incredibly efficiently, allowing the model to achieve registration fidelity similar to other state-of-the-art models while taking a fraction of the time to perform inference. The proposed fast and lightweight registration (FLIR) model is used to predict tissue motion which is then used to quantify the non-uniform strain experienced by the tissue. For acquisitions taken from the same patient at approximately the same time, it would be expected that strain values measured between the acquisitions would have very small differences. Using this metric, strain values computed using the FLIR method are shown to be very consistent.

description: The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how Alberta Health Services nurses are making sense of their role in relation to the recent changes to the Mental Health Act of Alberta. The Mental Health Act (MHA) of Alberta was enacted to protect and ensure the rights of people suffering from mental disorders. The most recent MHA amendment, which was enacted in September 2020, includes expanded duties required of the hospital and health care providers. Social Constructivism, Carper’s Ways of Knowing theory, and Uncertainty theory will provide the theoretical framework for this study. A Thematic Analysis method was utilized to elicit responses using a semi-structured interview tool. Data analysis will be conducted using the six-step thematic analysis as introduced by Braun and Clarke (2006). The way nurses make sense of their role contributes to the composition of ethically informed, safe, and effective care within the scope of professional practice and current legislation. This study helps address this gap in the context of mental health nursing practice in Alberta.

description: Adaptive Case Management deals with processes that are not predefined or repeatable, but depend on evolving circumstances and decisions regarding a particular situation. While case management is often considered as different from conventional business process management, in reality they cannot be strictly separated. A structured business process can contain parts which deal with non-routine cases. The Object Management Group (OMG) published the Business Process Model & Notation (BPMN) as well as the Case Management Model & Notation (CMMN). There is an ongoing debate whether these two languages should be combined are kept independent. After a short introduction into CMMN and BPMN we analyse an application process as it is typical for public administration in order to identify strengths and weaknesses of both BPMN and CMMN. We show that typical processes contain both structured and non-structured parts and neither BPMN nor CMMN alone is adequate to model the process. Finally, we propose recommendations for a metamodel, which combines elements of BPMN and CMMN.

description: The Timing Counter of the MEG (Mu to Electron Gamma) experiment is designed to deliver trigger information and to accurately measure the timing of the $e^+$ in searching for the decay $μ^+ \rightarrow e^+γ$. It is part of a magnetic spectrometer with the $μ^+$ decay target in the center. It consists of two sectors upstream and downstream the target, each one with two layers: the inner one made with scintillating fibers read out by APDs for trigger and track reconstruction, the outer one consisting in scintillating bars read out by PMTs for trigger and time measurement. The design criteria, the obtained performances and the commissioning of the detector are presented herein.

description: Pain is essential for the survival and wellbeing of organisms. Dysregulation in the pain pathway leads to pathological pain in part due to poor pain management stemming from a lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms that lead to pathological pain. Pain is initiated by specialised primary afferent neurons called nociceptors. TRPV1+ nociceptors play a central role in multiple pathological pain conditions, including inflammatory pain, where their sensitization can lead to chronic pain. In this thesis, we shed light on how TRPV1+ nociceptors participate in chronic pain and the factors that contribute to their regulation. This thesis provides two studies divided into 3 chapters. The first study (Chapter 3) is focused on the role of TRPV1+ nociceptors in initiating chronic visceral pain. The second study (Chapter 4 and 5) is focused on understanding how the early life microbiome regulates the sensitivity of TRPV1+ nociceptors. In Chapter 3, we present findings indicating that in a murine model of colitis, TRPV1+ nociceptors activate spinal microglia leading to visceral hypersensitivity, demonstrating their essential role for the transition from acute to chronic pain in the context of colitis. In Chapter 4, we investigated the role of the early life microbiome on TRPV1+ nociceptor specification and pain sensitivity using germ-free mice and then germ-free mice colonized before or after weaning. We found that a lack of microbiome in early life leads to hyposensitivity to heat and capsaicin, The hyposensitive phenotype was not due to changes in nociceptor specification, innervation, or TRPV1 expression, but it correlated with a reduction in TRPV1 trafficking to the cell membrane. In Chapter 5, we investigated the underlying mechanisms for early life microbiome induced hyposensitivity and identified that the early life microbiome regulates the sensitivity of nociceptors and the trafficking of TRPV1 through regulating mast cell derived NGF. Altogether, this study demonstrates the central role of TRPV1+ nociceptors in inducing the transition to chronic pain and the important role of the early life microbiome in regulating the sensitivity of these nociceptors through mast cell derived NGF.
