description: The discovery of neural stem cells within the adult CNS has indicated an enormous potential in facilitating neuronal regeneration after injury. Studies from our laboratory have suggested that manipulation of the Rb/E2f pathway can directly impact embryonic and adult neurogenesis, thereby having tremendous potential for neuronal regeneration therapies. Recently, two new members of the Rb/E2f pathway have been discovered, the atypical E2fs: E2f7 and E2f8. Initial studies have suggested that atypical E2fs regulate diverse processes such as cell proliferation, DNA-stress response, apoptosis, however, their importance in the brain are unknown. To analyze their function during brain development, we crossed Nestin-Cre mice with mice bearing a conditional E2f7/E2f8 allele to delete both E2f7 and E2f8 in neural precursor cells. Whereas cortical development was largely unaffected by E2f7/E2f8 deficiency, we observed an enlargement of the lateral ventricles occurring postnatally, a brain condition named ventriculomegaly. We then looked at the ependymal cells, which are the cells lining the wall of the lateral ventricles, to determine if these cells were affected by the absence of atypical E2fs. We found progressive denaturation of the ependymal cell layer, distortion of the ependymal motile cilia and reactive astrocytes within the layer. We identified Gli3, a component of the Sonic hedgehog pathway (Shh), as a target for E2fs, including atypical E2fs. We unravelled a novel mechanism by which atypical E2fs regulate the expression of Gli3, leading to up-regulation of Numb/NumbL, which in consequence destabilizes cadherins organization within the ependymal cell layer. In conclusion, our work suggests that E2f7 and E2f8 transcription factors play an essential role in maintaining the ependymal cell barrier.

description: In this 21st century of diverse regional, national and international threats, this study explores the leadership challenges unique to emergency management systems. These adaptive and complex systems respond to a range of critical emergency events, including mass emergencies, disasters and catastrophes. Effective emergency leadership with high-order capabilities is the lodestar of emergency management systems. This qualitative study explores the phenomenology of emergency leadership of emergency management systems through a holonic paradigm. The methodology deploys a grounded theory approach and thematic analysis. Through this key informant study, the perspectives of 103 emergency leaders of diverse professional backgrounds on systemic challenges are presented. The response rate was 83.5 percent from 81 organizations across Canada. Using the nonparametric statistical technique, the Kendall coefficient of concordance, what emerges from this study are ten ranked-ordered holonic properties of emergency leadership. These properties form the basis of a holonic paradigm that integrates and underscores the vital role of innovative technologies within the context of emergency management systems. A theory of holonic emergency leadership is also proposed. This study concludes with the potential implications of emergency leadership and this holonic framework for future healthcare research internationally.

description: To efficiently select optimal dataset combinations for enhancing multi-task learning (MTL) performance in large language models, we proposed a novel framework that leverages a neural network to predict the best dataset combinations. The framework iteratively refines the selection, greatly improving efficiency, while being model-, dataset-, and domain-independent. Through experiments on 12 biomedical datasets across four tasks - named entity recognition, relation extraction, event extraction, and text classification-we demonstrate that our approach effectively identifies better combinations, even for tasks that may seem unpromising from a human perspective. This verifies that our framework provides a promising solution for maximizing MTL potential.

description: En présentant cette étude, je voulais vérifier si on peut appliquer les théories modernes de stigmatisation au corpus de Jugements et Délibérations du Conseil Souverain. Je voulais aussi comprendre la perception des acteurs judiciaires du Conseil Souverain en tant que définisseurs de problèmes, les définitions qu’ils proposent qualifiant certaines peines d`infamantes et la signification des étiquettes pénales attribuées à un individu. En effet, des indices qualitatifs clairs et concordants nous montrent qu’il est possible d’appliquer les théories de stigmatisation pénale à ce corpus. En conséquence, notre principale contribution est d’amener les criminologues à réaliser que ce corpus qui a été depuis longtemps un terrain d’étude de prédilection pour les historiens, peut aussi constituer un terrain fertile pour les criminologues. De ce fait, des criminologues et des historiens peuvent mener des recherches conjointes dans ce domaine. C`est surtout à ce niveau que l`interdisciplinarité se révèle importante, voire incontournable. Nous reconnaissons les limites de notre recherche. Toutefois, notre matériel nous a permis de répondre adéquatement à nos objectifs.

description: We study multi-photon ionization of rare gas atoms and small molecules by infrared femtosecond laser pulses. We demonstrate that ionization is accurately described by a tunnelling model when many infrared photons are absorbed. By measuring photo-electron and photo-ion spectra, we show how the sub-Ångstrom spatial resolution of tunnelling gives information about electron densities in the valence shell of atoms and molecules. The photo-electron and photo-ion momentum distributions are recorded with a velocity map imaging (VMI) spectrometer. We describe a tomographic method for imaging a 3-D momentum distribution of arbitrary symmetry using a 2-D VMI detector. We apply the method to measure the 3-D photo-electron distribution in elliptically polarized light. Using circularly polarized light, we show how the photo-electron momentum distribution can be used to measure the focused laser intensity with high precision. We demonstrate that the gradient of intensities present in a focused femtosecond pulse can be replaced by a single average intensity for a highly nonlinear process like multi-photon ionization. By studying photo-electron angular distributions over a range of laser parameters, we determine experimentally how the photon linear momentum is shared between the photo-electron, photo-ion and light field. We find the photo-electron carries only a portion of the total linear momentum absorbed. In addition we consider how angular momentum is shared in multi-photon ionization, and find the photo-electron receives all of the angular momentum absorbed. Our results demonstrate how optical and material properties influence the photo-electron spectrum in multi-photon ionization. These will have implications for molecular imaging using femtosecond laser pulses, and controlling the initial conditions of laser generated plasmas.

description: The molecular mechanisms underlying the association between mutations in GBA1 and risk of developing the ‘synucleinopathy’ disorders Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) remain elusive. To better understand the precise molecular cascade that connects GBA1 mutations with α-synuclein dysregulation, a modified lipid extraction and HPTLC protocol was optimized to detect changes in levels of neutral sphingolipids (SLs) from neural cells and tissue expressing wild-type (WT) GBA1, mutant GBA1, or both. We demonstrate that mutant GBA1 does not confer a dominant-negative effect on WT GBA1-mediated activity; however, bona fide loss-of-enzymatic function mutation events led to the accumulation of lipid substrates in neural cells and tissue, and enhance α- synuclein/ubiquitin reactivity in brain tissue of mutant gba1 mice. Our HPLC-MS/MS data are consistent with other studies demonstrating that heterozygous GBA1 mutations do not lead to lipid accumulation, but may alter α-synuclein degradation through a yet-to-be defined novel gain-of-toxic function event.

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent an ancient and critical symbiotic partner with the majority of land plants, understood to promote ecosystem productivity and biodiversity and are also important to ecologically sound land management practices. The fungus is thought to be over 400 million years old, and due to a lack of an observable sexual cycle, has been placed into a select group of eukaryotes called 'ancient asexuals', which seemingly defy evolutionary theory by persisting for an extended period of time in the absence of sexual reproduction. Recently however, molecular evidence has accumulated which may suggest AMF harbour a cryptic sexual cycle. In the first chapter of this thesis, entitled "Searching for clues of sexual reproduction in the genomes of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi", I review evidence supporting this notion of a cryptic sexual cycle in AMF which includes: the presence of recombinational events, meiosis-specific genes as well as mating-specific transcription factors called SexM and SexP of the MATA_HMG protein family which are otherwise found only in the genomes of sexual fungi. In the second chapter, I present the main research of my MSc work where I used bioinformatic, population genetic, molecular and experimental approaches to build on this existing evidence of sexuality in AMF. These findings include the presence of a dramatically expanded family of MAT-HMG genes which are present in several isolates of the Rhizophagus irregularis and also harbour significant allele variation amongst these isolates, some of which resembles variation expected at MAT-genes in other fungi. Q-RT-PCR procedures revealed that at least some of these genes tend to increase in expression during crosses of R. irregularis isolates. We also uncovered the presence of a unique genomic region where at least three of these genes are located in tandem. Finally, several tests of recombination support the presence of intraisolate as well as interisolate recombination events occurring between these MAT-HMG genes.

description: Anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy has proven efficacious against many cancers but only reached modest objective response rates against recurrent ovarian cancer. A deeper understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) may reveal other immunosuppressive mechanisms that warrant investigation as immunotherapeutic targets for this challenging disease. Matched primary and recurrent tumors from patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) were analyzed by multicolor immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence for the presence of T cells, B cells, macrophages, and for the expression of immunosuppressive and HLA molecules. Cancer- and immune-related gene expression was assessed by NanoString analysis. Recurrent tumors showed increased infiltration by immune cells, displayed higher expression of PDL1, IDO, and HLA molecules, and contained more stromal tissue. NanoString analysis demonstrated increased expression of gene signatures related to chemokines and T cell functions in recurrent tumors. The ovarian tumors showed high gene expression of LAG3 and HAVCR2 (TIM3) and enhanced levels of TIGIT and CTLA4 in recurrent tumors compared to primary tumors. The majority of HGSC developed into a more inflamed phenotype during progression from primary to recurrent disease, including indications of adaptive immune resistance. This suggests that recurrent tumors may be particularly sensitive to inhibition of adaptive immune resistance mechanisms.
Evaluating Groundwater In a Permafrost Watershed Using Seasonal Geochemical and Isotope Discharge Trends, Ogilvie River, Yukon

description: This study focuses on a mid-sized watershed of upper Ogilvie River (~4,500 km2 at the western extent of the 77,000 km2 Peel River basin) located at the northern extent of the discontinuous permafrost in central Yukon. Annual hydrograph is analyzed by characterizing the river flow components using geochemical tracers (anions, cations, and dissolved organic and inorganic carbon), stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O, and δ13C) and radioactive isotopes (14C and 3H). The 2014 and 2015 flows are characterized by high weathering solute concentrations (Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42-, and DIC) in the winter that spike just prior to freshet, diluted to the lowest concentrations at the peak of freshet, and slowly recover throughout the summer and fall responding to overall flow fluctuations. Biogenic solutes (K+ and DOC) are lowest in the winter time and spike at the start of freshet. Two groundwater components, shallow and deep, were identified with corresponding tritium-based residence times of less than a year and three years, respectively. The local meteoric water line, developed based on the local precipitation samples δ2H=6.77·δ18O-24.54 (R2=0.98), was used to determine the recharge mix of the groundwaters: 65% rain and 35% snowmelt. The recharge waters interact greatly with soil (open system weathering) and carbonate bedrock (closed system weathering) as evident via the δ13C and F14C signatures of the active layer waters, shallow groundwater and deep groundwater. Radiocarbon of DIC proved to be an important tool to differentiate the weathering conditions by demonstrating F14C carbonate dilution resulting in groundwater F14C as low as 0.57. Based on the δ18O based hydrograph separation, deep groundwater comprised almost half of the annual discharge. The groundwater discharge reached its maximum flow of 129 m3/s during freshet when it contributed 44% to the flow. The potential groundwater recharge pathways include thermal contraction cracks in permafrost and bedrock fractures. The recharge is thought to occur over vegetated areas. In the summer, likely only large precipitation events result in recharge. In comparison to discharge, the annual DIC exports from the study catchment (5.6 gC/m2/yr) were disproportionally high in the winter time and the DOC exports (2.1 gC/m2/yr) varied proportionally with discharge.
Using different acceptance measures: The interplay of evolution acceptance, evolution understanding, and religious belief among German preservice biology teachers, secondary school students, and creationists

description: Evolution understanding is often positively connected with magnitudes of evolution acceptance, whereas religiosity mostly interferes negatively. However, comparisons between studies and countries must be treated cautiously due to the diversity of used instruments and samples. This study aims to generate new evidence concerning the interplay of evolution acceptance, evolution understanding, and religious belief by comparing the results of preservice biology teachers, school students, and self-identified creationists answering several acceptance instruments (i.e., ATEVO, GAENE, I-SEA, and MATE) while using the same measurement for understanding and belief. Results of our regression analysis indicate that belief and understanding were significant predictors but often diminished after including the interaction term of belief and understanding. When gender is included in the model, this variable is often significant. The interaction term of belief and understanding was only significant for two instruments in the group of school students. For the creationists, gender appeared as the essential term. While relationship patterns of preservice biology teachers seldom seem to be impacted by the choice of acceptance instruments (at least in correlations and regressions using only belief and understanding), this is not true for our school students and creationists. Our findings indicate that the magnitude of understanding may not mutually be the exclusive factor for (non-)acceptance. Other factors, such as gender or religiosity, might be more prominent in people's attitudes toward (controversial) topics. Our study creates new insights into the interplay of acceptance, understanding, and belief, and we encourage researchers to carefully consider their choice of instruments.

Cohort Derivation

description: Background: Primary subarachnoid hemorrhage (1°SAH) is an important disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality. The sparse Canadian epidemiologic literature on 1° SAH is outdated and relies on diagnostic coding for case ascertainment which misses true cases and incorrectly labels non-cases. Objectives: Primary objective was to identify all patients with 1° SAH presenting to the Ottawa Hospital (TOH) between July 1, 2002 and June 30, 2011 by deriving and validating a search algorithm using an enriched administrative database. Secondary objectives included: 1) determine incidence and case-fatality rates (CFR) of 1° SAH at TOH; and 3) derive and validate a method to identify 1° SAH using routinely collected administrative data. Methods: A cohort of 1° SAH patients were identified with a case-defining algorithm that was derived and validated using a combination of cerebrospinal fluid analysis results and text-search algorithms of both cranial imaging and post-mortem reports. The incidence of 1° SAH was calculated using the total number of hospital encounters over the same time period. CFR was calculated by linking to vital statistic data of hospitalized patients at discharge. An optimal1° SAH prediction model was derived and validated using binomial recursive partitioning built with independent variables obtained from routinely collected administrative data. Results: Using the case-defining algorithm, 831 patients were identified with a 1° SAH over the study period. Hospital incidence of 1° SAH was 17.2 events per 10,000 inpatient encounters (or 0.17% of encounters) with a case-fatality rate of 18.1%. A validated SAH prediction model based on administrative data using a recursive partitioning model had a sensitivity of 96.5% (95% CI 93.9-98.0), a specificity of 99.8% (95%CI 99.6-99.9), and a +LR of 483 (95% CI 254-879). This results in a post-test probability of disease of 45%. Conclusion: We identified almost all cases of 1° SAH at our hospital using an enriched administrative data. Accurately identifying such patients with routinely collected health administrative data is possible, providing important opportunities to examine and study this patient population. Further studies, involving multiple centres are needed to reproduce these results.

description: Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) and Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) are important economic pathogens in tomato fields. Rhizoglomus irregulare is a species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus that provides nutrients to host plants. To understand the effect of R. irregulare on the infection by TBSV/ToMV in tomato plants, in a completely randomized design, five treatments, including uninfected control plants without AM fungi (C), uninfected control plants with AM fungi (M) TBSV/ToMV-infected plants without AM fungi (V), TBSV/ToMV-infected plants before mycorrhiza (VM) inoculation, and inoculated plants with mycorrhiza before TBSV/ToMV infection (MV), were studied. Factors including viral RNA accumulation and expression of Pathogenesis Related proteins (PR) coding genes including PR1, PR2, and PR3 in the young leaves were measured. For TBSV, a lower level of virus accumulation and a higher expression of PR genes in MV plants were observed compared to V and VM plants. In contrast, for ToMV, a higher level of virus accumulation and a lower expression of PR genes in MV plants were observed as compared to V and VM plants. These results indicated that mycorrhizal symbiosis reduces or increases the viral accumulation possibly via the regulation of PR genes in tomato plants.

description: Small molecular Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) antagonists, known as Smac mimetic compounds (SMCs), are a novel class of anti-cancer drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. SMCs were designed to mimic the function of the pro-apoptotic protein, Smac, which directly depletes cells of cIAP1 and cIAP2, and consequently renders tumour cells sensitive to death in the presence of proinflammatory ligands such as TNFα. The Korneluk lab recently reported that SMCs synergize with the attenuated oncolytic virus Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSVΔ51) by eliciting an enhanced immune response in mice, such that the combined therapy is vastly superior to stand-alone therapies. To improve on this SMC-mediated synergistic response, I generated variants of TNFα-armed VSVΔ51. Due to high ectopic expression of TNFα in infected cells, a five times lower viral dose of TNFα-armed VSVΔ51 combined with SMC treatment was sufficient to improve the survival rate as compared to SMC and VSVΔ51 co-therapy. This improved synergistic response is attributed to a bystander effect whereby the spread of TNFα from infected cells leads to the death of neighbouring, uninfected cells in the presence of a SMC. In addition, the double treatment induced vasculature collapse in solid tumours, revealing another mechanism by which cytokine-armed VSVΔ51 in combination with a SMC can induce cancer cell death. This approach demonstrates great potential for engineered oncolytic virus and SMCs as a new combination immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

description: What is an emotion, and what does an emotional reaction signify? In this thesis I critically defend Aaron Ben-Ze’ev’s theory of emotion as a mode of social engagement. Building on the idea that an emotional reaction is the opposite of indifference, emotions express one’s concerns. They are most intense with regard to the shifting dynamics of personal relationships and social status. Thus, in order to think well about social and personal issues, attention to emotional views of the world is paramount. The social concern of emotion opens what may seem private about our reactions to an interpersonal reading. Emotions are contrasted with an intellectual form of engagement, the latter being characterized by deliberative thinking, which focuses on generalities and stable patterns. Emotions, on the other hand, are more closely aligned with action tendencies and tend to disrupt detached styles of thinking by narrowing one’s focus to the emotion’s target. Because emotions express one’s concerns, Ben-Ze’ev argues that they tend to sincerely express our “profound values,” a view which I argue against. Building on Diane Meyers’s conception of the five-dimensional self, I argue that emotions are a source of deeply held convictions, but avoid conflating this with notions of sincerity. Instead, emotional concerns can be integrated into the cultivation of personal autonomy, in terms of self-definition and self-discovery. I apply this conception of emotion to the popular concept of emotional intelligence, and argue that emotional intelligence involves a capacity to handle with skill the emerging and chaotic urgency of emotional reactions.

description: Intelligent Transport System (ITS) has become a hot research topic over the past decades. ITS is a system that applies the following technologies to the whole transportation management system efficiently, including information technique, wireless communication, sensor networks, control technique, and computer engineering. ITS provides an accurate, real time and synthetically efficient transportation management system. Obviously, Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks (VANETs) attract growing attention from both the research community and industry all over the world. This is because a large amount of applications are enabled by VANETs, such as safety related applications, traffic management, commercial applications and general applications. When connecting to the internet or communicating with different networks in order to access a variety of services using VANETs, drivers and passengers in different cars need to be able to exchange messages with gateways from their vehicles. A secure gateway discovery process is therefore critical, because vehicles should not be subject to security attacks while they are communicating; however, currently there is no existing protocol focusing on secure gateway discovery. In this thesis, we first analyze and compare current existing secure service discovery protocols and then we propose a Secure Gateway Localization and Communication System for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (SEGAL), which concentrates on the security issue in gateway discovery. We focus on the authentication aspect by proposing secure cluster based VANETs, that can ensure the gateway discovery messages exchanged through secure clusters. We present the principle and specific process of our SEGAL protocol and analyze its performance to guarantee its outstanding practical applicability.

description: We compute the leading order corrections to the expected value of the squared field amplitude of a massless real scalar quantum field due to curvature in a localized region of spacetime. We use Riemann normal coordinates to define localized field operators in a curved spacetime that are analogous to their flat space counterparts, and the Hadamard condition to find the leading order curvature corrections to the field correlations. We then apply our results to particle detector models, quantifying the effect of spacetime curvature in localized field probes.

description: The field of Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) has seen rapid development during the recent years. This growing popularity is due to several characteristics of considerable importance to consumer electronics products, such as large bandwidth that is also not having spectrum regulations imposed, low cost, and license free operation. As a branch of OWC, visible light communication (VLC) systems have their own unique advantages, with several new technologies, products and patents having been developed during since the end of last century. In this research, a VLC system for indoor application is proposed. In this work, we focus on reducing cost, and for that, we had to make appropriate selection of system’s components, e.g. modulation, coding, filtering. Our objective was to achieve acceptable bit error rate (BER) performance for indoor use, with a low cost system. Through our research we met this objective. Our designs were evaluated through computer simulations. The acquired results proved the suitability of the proposed schemes and the performance’s degree of dependency on several parameters such as distance, incidence angle and irradiance angle. A software tool was created allowing easy assessment of the communication system. It is using a user friendly GUI through which the user enters the system’s parameters and the system outputs the corresponding BER value.

description: Researchers have found that youths react in a variety of ways when faced with a bullying incident in their schools (Kochenderfer-Ladd, 2004). Despite being aware of the negative consequences of being victimized and holding generally negative attitudes towards bullying, youths tend to show reluctance to seek help from an adult or to intervene in defense of their victimized peer (Hawkins, Pepler, & Craig, 2001; Newman, Murray, & Lussier, 2001). Given the importance of the aforementioned behaviours in reducing bullying in schools, two studies were designed to examine the determinants of victim help seeking and bystander intervening behaviours in young people using Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB: Ajzen, 1991). In Study 1, I examined the full TPB model using short-term longitudinal data collected from a sample of 609 secondary school students. To further examine the utility of the TPB model and to determine the impact of school climate on the model, in Study 2 I examined cross-sectional data collected from 113 middle school students. In Study 1, multiple regression analyses and path analyses indicated that the TPB model significantly predicted student’s intentions to intervene on behalf a bullied peer and their actual self-reported intervention behaviour. The results for help seeking intentions and behaviours were mixed, with the TPB variables significantly predicting victim help seeking intentions but not self-reported behaviour. In Study 2, the TPB model significantly predicted both help seeking and intervention intentions. Additionally, the TPB variables of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control significantly mediated the relationship between school climate and victim help seeking and bystander intervention intentions. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for methodology, theory, and policy.

description: Discovering and categorizing quantum orders in mixed many-body systems are currently one of the most important problems. Specific types of decoherence applied to typical quantum many-body states can induce a novel kind of mixed state accompanying characteristic symmetry orders, which has no counterparts in pure many-body states. We study phenomena generated by interplay between two types of decoherence applied to the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model (TFIM). We show that in the doubled Hilbert space formalism, the decoherence can be described by filtering operation applied to matrix product states (MPS) defined in the doubled Hilbert system. The filtering operation induces specific deformation of the MPS, which approximates the ground state of a certain parent Hamiltonian in the doubled Hilbert space. In the present case, such a parent Hamiltonian is the quantum Ashkin-Teller model, having a rich phase diagram with a critical lines and quantum phase transitions. By investigating the deformed MPS, we find various types of mixed states emergent from the ground states of the TFIM, and clarify phase transitions between them. In that study, strong and weak $Z_2$ symmetries play an important role, for which we introduce efficient order parameters, such as Rényi-2 correlators, entanglement entropy, etc., in the doubled Hilbert space.

Subjects: Inuit,
Pregnant
Smoking

description: This thesis examined three different research questions to help build a knowledge base for future intervention strategies by better understanding the reasons behind smoking among pregnant women in Nunavut. The first study focused more at the individual level and investigates clinical and socioeconomic factors and their relationship to readiness to quit smoking. The second manuscript moved beyond the individual level to the broader social and structural environment to identify a broader range of barriers and facilitators to smoking and smoking cessation among Inuit women. This second manuscript draws upon in-depth interviews focusing on perceptions of smoking, and perceived barriers and facilitators of smoking behaviours. Finally, the third manuscript investigated the perspectives of health care providers regarding the barriers and facilitators of smoking cessation for pregnant women in the Baffin Region of Nunavut and describes perceptions of smoking cessation resources available to health care providers in the Baffin Region.
