description: Abstract Reef fish assemblages are exposed to a wide range of anthropogenic threats as well as chronic natural disturbances. In upwelling regions, for example, there is a seasonal influx of cool nutrient‐rich waters that may shape the structure and composition of reef fish assemblages. Given that climate change may disrupt the natural oceanographic processes by altering the frequency and strength of natural disturbances, understanding how fish assemblages respond to upwelling events is essential to effectively manage reef ecosystems under changing ocean conditions. This study used the baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) and the traditional underwater visual census (UVC) to investigate the spatiotemporal patterns of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region in the North Pacific of Costa Rica. A total of 183 reef fish species from 60 families were recorded, of which 166 species were detected using BRUVS and 122 using UVC. Only 66% of all species were detected using both methods. This study showed that the upwelling had an important role in shaping reef fish assemblages in this region, but there was also a significant interaction between upwelling and location. In addition, other drivers such as habitat complexity and habitat composition had an effect on reef fish abundances and species. To authors’ knowledge, this is the first study in the Eastern Tropical Pacific that combines BRUVS and UVC to monitor reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region, which provides more detailed information to assess the state of reef ecosystems in response to multiple threats and changing ocean conditions.
Nature and community: Toward a Marcusean-informed environmentalism.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Concern for the environment is a theme which has gained much currency in popular and academic discourse. The normative assumptions, however, which underlie the field of environmental politics, are far from univocal. The exclusion of normative considerations from much environmental literature and many environmental projects, therefore, is an indication of our general failure to see environmental issues as ethical issues demanding resolution. This study aims at examining how the critical theory of Herbert Marcuse contributes to an ecological perspective that does treat the natural environment as a domain of ethical inquiry. Drawing from the Romantic tradition, Marcuse treats nature as sensuousness and spirituality with immanent value. His theory of nature is concerned with the reconciliation of human subjectivity as rational, moral will with external nature. What emerges is an ethics of aesthetic community in which nature is more than an object of contemplation, but the purveyor of immanent value, the grounds for ethical, creative and "playful" activity. This notion of aesthetic community does not emerge without its own internal tension and ambiguity which, we argue in this work, remain unresolved as a synthesis of subjective aesthetic judgment and collective reason. In spite of the tension, we conclude that the Marcusean spiritual sensitivity and rational interest could more fruitfully serve as a more solid foundation for contemporary environmentalism and ecological theory.

description: The FAMOD project, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), investigates the diversity of existing family models after separation or divorce in Germany. The project’s aim is to provide detailed information about the living conditions of mothers, fathers, and children in different post-separation family configurations, namely in sole physical custody (SPC) and in joint physical custody (JPC) arrangements. Employing a multi-actor design, the survey closely examines the well-being of the individual family members in order to identify the potentials and challenges within a specific physical custody care arrangement. Because JPC families are still extremely rare in Germany (less than 1% of all families with minor children), this project is the first to collect data from a sufficient number of JPC families for detailed statistical analyses. Based on a quota sample, FAMOD provides data of 1,554 families in Germany (nuclear, SPC, and JPC families). This working paper contains a description of the sampling procedure, details about the process of data collection, and a benchmarking of selected core socio-demographic variables against the results from other German surveys.

A traveling ethnography of voice in qualitative research
Creators: name: Magnat, Virginie
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2018

description: This interdisciplinary exploration of voice seeks to open a space for the nondiscursive performative power of vocality in qualitative research. In the first part, I focus on anthropology and ethnographic practice to identify the ways in which “voice” gets muted when transformed by scriptocentrism (see Dwight Conquergood) into a conceptual abstraction or a metaphor. Given anthropology’s colonial legacy and the implication of ethnographers in what Anthony Kwame Harrison defines as the project of literatizing non-literate societies, I argue that the potentially scriptocentric dimension of ethnographic practice must be taken seriously in light of the travels of ethnography across disciplines and its increasingly widespread usage within qualitative inquiry. In the second part, I foreground philosopher Adriana Cavarero’s critique of the devocalization of logos in Western philosophy and its analysis by interdisciplinary voice studies scholar Konstantinos Thomaidis, who investigates the systematic exclusion, marginalization and silencing of voice through Eurocentric constructions of logos as reason and as language. By means of an imaginary visit to ancient Greece, I scrutinize Plato’s anxiety vis-à-vis performance through an ethnographic encounter with the Ion, a dialogue between Socrates and a well-known champion of rhapsodic contests. On the basis of this performative ethnographic fieldwork, I suggest that conducting qualitative research on the significance and relevance of vocality today requires listening to, engaging with, and learning from the voices of ancient and contemporary oral cultural practitioners.

Für eine gesundheitliche Bewertung von Acetaldehyd in der Luft liegen keine hinreichend aussagekräftigen Humanstudien vor. In einer gut dokumentierten und als zuverlässig eingestuften subchronischen Inhalationsstudie an Ratten wurden lokale Reizeffekte in den nasalen Epithelien beobachtet, insbesondere im olfaktorischen Epithel mit einem Verlust olfaktorischer Neurone. Aus dieser Studie ergibt sich eine LOAEC für kontinuierliche Exposition von 48 mg Acetaldehyd/m3 für den Endpunkt nasale Epithelschädigung. Mit einem Extrapolationsfaktor von 1 für Interspeziesunterschiede, von 10 für interindividuelle Variabilität sowie einem Faktor von 2 zur Berücksichtigung der im Vergleich mit Erwachsenen höheren Atemrate von Kindern ergibt sich ein Richtwert II (Gefahrenrichtwert) von 1 mg/m3 Acetaldehyd/m3 und ein Richtwert I (Vorsorgerichtwert) von 0,1 mg Acetaldehyd/m3 Raumluft.

No suitable human studies are available for health evaluation of acetaldehyde in indoor air. In a well-documented subchronic inhalation animal study with rats assessed as reliable, local irritation effects were observed in nasal epithelia, most prominently in the olfactory epithelium with loss of olfactory neuronal cells. This study leads to a LOAEC of 48 mg acetaldehyde/m3 for continuous exposure for the endpoint nasal epithelium degeneration. By applying an interspecies factor of 1, a factor of 10 for interindividual variability, and a factor of 2 to account for the higher respiratory rate of children compared to adults, a health hazard guide value (RW II) of 1 mg acetaldehyde/m3 is obtained. A health precaution guide value (RW I) of 0.1 mg acetaldehyde/m3 is recommended.

Controlled material modification of transparent dielectrics by femtosecond laser pulses

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Physics, Optics.

description: Wide band gap dielectrics remain transparent for low intensity near-infrared light. However, when light intensity increases, highly nonlinear absorption takes place. The absorption occurs due to the transfer electrons from the valence to the conduction band in the dielectric. We investigate the physics of this ionization process and the material changes induced in the sample by multiple femtosecond laser pulses. We show how transmission relates to the ionization prbabi1ity in high density material. By controlling various experimental parameters we obtain qualitatative and quantitatative information about ionization and different mechanisms involved. Analyzing transmission for a variety of pulse durations, we obtain the field dependent collisional ionization rates for fused silica. Using elliptically polarized light, we probe the sub-laser-cycle dynamics of the ionization. The variation in the ionization rate within a laser cycle is translated, through the differential absorption between the major and the minor axes of the polarization ellipse, into the polarization changes of the transmitted light. In crystalline samples we observe a dependence of the ionization on the alignment of the field with the lattice. The modulation in transmission with the alignment angle of the crystal is analyzed using Fourier transformation and it provides the information on the lattice symmetry. We find that the directionally dependent electron effective mass plays an exponentially dominant role in defining the ionization probabilities. Chemical changes inside the focal volume accumulate over many laser shots. We show that these material changes lead to a localized increase in the ionization, providing a feedback mechanism that leads to the formation of nano-structures in the interaction region. With longer exposure time, defocusing micro-lenses are formed in the bulk. These micro-lenses change the divergence of the laser beam as well as the pulse energy required for the ionization, therefore, leading to enhanced transmission. We observe this effect in a variety of transparent dielectrics. In crystalline quartz we find a novel phenomenon associated with repeated ionization. The permanent changes in the sample create favourable phase matching conditions for strong second harmonic generation.
Deworming during Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes

description: One third of infants born in India are of low birth weight (<2.5 kilograms), leading to a higher prevalence of child malnutrition. These infants are at risk of not only short term but also long term adverse health outcomes. In India, maternal anemia is one of the major concerns in low birth weight status and perinatal mortality. Intestinal parasitic infections like hookworm can cause and increase iron deficient anemia among mothers. These infections can reduce the effect of iron supplementation during pregnancy. This, in turn, can lead to low birth weight. The current study examines the role of deworming during pregnancy for birth outcomes, in particular, determining low birth weight. Data from the latest National Family Health Survey (conducted 2005–06 and released in 2008) is used for this analysis; NFHS is the Indian component of the Measure Demographic Health survey project. Using a nationwide sample of mothers and infants (n = 17,117), a matching estimation was done to assess the effect of intake of deworming drugs during pregnancy on infant’s birth weight, after controlling for various socio-demographic characteristics and the quality of available water sources and water treatment by the households. The study found that deworming during pregnancy both increased the birth weight of the infant as well as decreased the probability of low birth weight. The average increase in birth weight was estimated to be around 66 grams and the probability of low birth weight, was on average, reduced by 2.2 percentage points if deworming drugs were administered during pregnancy. This leads to the conclusion that a low cost intervention such as deworming should be considered in antenatal care packages, particularly in regions of India where helminthic infection is endemic. Apart from birth weight, several other benefits could occur from deworming during pregnancy given the pathway through Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).

Mineral Magnetism of Environmental Reference Materials: Iron Oxyhydroxide Nanoparticles

subject: Mineralogy.

description: Iron oxyhydroxides are ubiquitous in surface environments, playing a key role in many biogeochemical processes. Their characterization is made challenging by their nanophase nature. Magnetometry serves as a sensitive non-destructive characterization technique that can elucidate intrinsic physical properties, taking advantage of the superparamagnetic behaviour that nanoparticles may exhibit. In this work, synthetic analogues of common iron oxyhydroxide minerals (ferrihydrite, goethite, lepidocrocite, schwertmannite and akaganeite) are characterized using DC and AC magnetometry (cryogenic, room temperature), along with complementary analyses from Mossbauer spectroscopy (cryogenic, room temperature), powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that all of the iron oxyhydroxide mineral nanoparticles, including lepidocrocite, schwertmannite and akaganeite were superparamagnetic and therefore magnetically ordered at room temperature. Previous estimates of Neel temperatures for these three minerals are relatively low and are understood as misinterpreted magnetic blocking temperatures. This has important implications in environmental geoscience due to this mineral group's potential as magnetic remanence carriers. Analysis of the data enabled the extraction of the intrinsic physical parameters of the nanoparticles, including magnetic sizes. The study also showed the possible effect on these parameters of crystal-chemical variations, due to elemental structural incorporation, providing a nanoscale mineralogical characterization of these iron oxyhydroxides. The analysis of the intrinsic parameters showed that all of the iron oxyhydroxide mineral nanoparticles considered here have a common magnetic moment formation mechanism associated with a random spatial distribution of uncompensated magnetic spins, and with different degrees of structural disorder and compositional stoichiometry variability, which give rise to relatively large intrinsic magnetization values. The elucidation of the magnetic nanostructure also contributes to the study of the surface region of the nanoparticles, which affects the particles' reactivity in the environment.
Getting to the roots of plant metal stress tolerance: Examining the role of the AM symbiosis in plant metal uptake and soil metal bioavailability

description: This doctoral thesis investigated the impact of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, an ubiquitous and beneficial association between plant roots and soil fungi, toward plant growth, stress tolerance, and metal uptake in relation to extrinsic metal conditions ranging from low (e.g. trace) to high (e.g. toxic) exposure levels. The investigative strategy is divided into two main parts: (1) statistical meta-analysis and (2) experimental analysis. In the first part, an extensive literature review in the field of metal phytoremediation was conducted in order to construct a meta-dataset consisting of various plant physiological and soil ecological parameters which were ultimately extracted from nearly 30 published works. Meta-analytical statistical tools were then used to examine general trends and perspectives in metal phytoextraction and metal stress tolerance (Chapter 2), to establish an inherent role for the AM symbiosis therein (Chapter 3), and to discuss the potential for plant investment in symbiotic associations as an extrinsic stress tolerance strategy in complement to the plant's intrinsic stress resistance mechanisms (Chapter4). From these findings, a series of conceptual models were proposed depicting the plant growth and metal uptake in relation to increasing metal exposure levels by integrating the primary AM-induced mechanisms of 'enhanced uptake' and 'metal biosorption'. In the second part, in vitro root-organ (Chapter 5) and greenhouse culture systems (Chapters 6 and 7) were designed using the micronutrient zinc (Zn) as a typical metal contaminant to test various parameters of AM-plant growth and metal uptake, for which the proposed conceptual models were used as a framework for developing new hypotheses regarding plant-soil interactions. The methods and analytical techniques included Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) for the determination of soil- and plant-Zn concentrations, differential root staining and microscopic analysis for the assessment of AM-root colonization, and standard physiological metrics for the determination of plant health 'status. In brief, I showed that the AM symbiosis plays a dynamic role in plant development and stress tolerance first by enhancing the uptake of limiting metal nutrients, and then by reducing the uptake of potentially toxic metal contaminants due to metal biosorption under metal toxicity conditions. Accordingly, I also suggested that such mechanisms contribute in buffering the proximal growth environment, and thereby increasing soil's resiliency. Altogether, I consider the revised models depicting the impact of the AM symbiosis on plant and soil systems to be a relevant tool in environmental remediation practices.
Practice, profession and project in interdisciplinary doctorates of design: new responses

description: The recent emergence of doctorates of design has generated debate about appropriate doctoral curriculum and submission formats. In response to the professional and practice-oriented dimensions of design, doctoral programs including project work, reduced text requirements, and purported industry relevance have developed in several countries. Often recruiting a distinct student cohort, such doctorates are a significant phenomenon in the UK and Australia, while limited in number in North America. Compared to traditional PhD submissions such doctorates purport to address professional and practice values deemed important to design. However, the concept of doctorates addressing professional development, practice and creative project work is still contentious for many fields including design. This paper examines the use of the terms profession, practice, and project work in alternative doctorates of design in three countries – Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. There is some discussion of the characteristics of these programs and the paper includes some examples of current and completed student projects in such doctorates. The paper concludes with some questions regarding the discourse of professionalism employed to describe doctorates of design.

Des revendications "chaudes" au nationalisme "ordinaire": Les transformations du nationalisme linguistique québécois depuis les années 1970

description: Dans Banal nationalism, Michael Billig amène un concept original, le "nationalisme ordinaire" (banal nationalism), qui correspond au nationalisme des États-nation bien établis. Il le distingue du "nationalisme revendicateur" (hot nationalism), soit le nationalisme plus vocal, visible et "dérangeant" des nations minoritaires. La présente thèse utilise ces deux concepts pour analyser le nationalisme linguistique d'une nation minoritaire, à savoir la nation québécoise. Plus précisement, elle analyse les transformations du nationalisme linguistique québécois à travers l'évolution des politiques linguistiques du gouvernement du Québec depuis les années 1970. Elle vise à démontrer que la politique linguistique du Québec et le nationalisme linguistique qui en émane sont certes essentiellement "revendicateurs" dans les années 1970 (avec la loi 22 et la loi 101), mais que, à l'instar de ce qui se produit avec le temps dans les États-nation bien établis, ils deviennent caractérisés principalement par l'"ordinarité" à partir des années 1990 (avec la loi 86 et le Rapport Larose). Ces deux décennies correspondent respectivement à une période de construction et à une periode de consolidation de la politique linguistique québécoise. Entre ces deux phases s'est écoulée une période de transition dans les années 1980, pendant laquelle il y a eu un grand chevauchement entre les deux types de nationalisme linguistique. Cette période de transition, négligée par Billig, correspond à ce que la thèse désigne comme un "nationalisme linguistique transitoire".

description: Cell type specification during pancreatic development is tightly controlled by a transcriptional and epigenetic network. The precise role of most transcription factors, however, has been only described in mice. To convey such concepts to human pancreatic development, alternative model systems such as pancreatic in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells can be employed. Here, we analyzed stage-specific RNA-, ChIP-, and ATAC-sequencing data to dissect transcriptional and regulatory mechanisms during pancreatic development. Transcriptome and open chromatin maps of pancreatic differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells provide a stage-specific pattern of known pancreatic transcription factors and indicate ONECUT1 as a crucial fate regulator in pancreas progenitors. Moreover, our data suggest that ONECUT1 is also involved in preparing pancreatic progenitors for later endocrine specification. The dissection of the transcriptional and regulatory circuitry revealed an important role for ONECUT1 within such network and will serve as resource to study human development and disease.

Modèle general de la précipitation aqueuse des solides à surface rugueuse, appliqué à la ferrihydrite
Creators: name: Marchand, Philippe
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: La ferrihydrite est un oxyde de fer abondant dans les milieux marins et lacustres, qui peut influencer la disponibilité de certains nutriments et purifier l'eau de métaux toxiques. Toutefois, les mécanismes entraînant sa formation et les raisons pour lesquelles elle est toujours nanoparticulaire sont encore mal connus. À partir de la théorie classique de la nucléation, je développe dans cette thèse un modèle simple pour la précipitation aqueuse de phases faiblement cristallines. Il s'agit d'un système d'équations différentielles représentant l'évolution temporelle de la distribution de taille des amas précipités. En utilisant les paramètres physico-chimiques connus pour la ferrihydrite, ce modèle produit des distributions dont le rayon moyen correspond aux valeurs attendues. Pour mieux comparer les distributions simulées et réelles, je devrai préciser les paramètres physico-chimiques de la ferrihydrite et avoir accès à des mesures plus précises de la distribution de taille des échantillons expérimentaux.

La notion de discrimination dans la Convention internationale sur l'élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l'égard des femmes.
Creators: name: Meza, Ofelia.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Law.

description: La notion de discrimination dans la Convention constitue un progres par rapport au droit conventionnel anterieur. Elle implique un droit general a la non-discrimination: (1) qui concerne toutes les femmes; (2) qui s'applique de facon non equivoque aux rapports entre particuliers. Ceci est important, car c'est dans les relations familiales que les femmes sont opprimees de facon presque invisible, notamment par la violence domestique et les travaux menagers non remuneres. Le bien fonde des positions feministes affirmant que la division public/prive n'a pas sa raison d'etre, sont confirmees par la notion de discrimination qu'on trouve dans la Convention; (3) qui vise en meme temps la discrimination de droit et la discrimination de fait. Ceci est important, car les simples changements legislatifs ne sont pas des gages des changements concrets dans la vie des femmes a cause de l'impact discriminatoire des stereotypes, de la tradition et de la coutume; (4) qui porte sur tous les droits et libertes dont les femmes sont titulaires en conditions d'egalite avec les hommes. La Convention contourne les inconvenients que l'approche liberale de l'egalite presente: (1) elle n'est ouverte qu'aux membres du groupe desavantage, les femmes, en evitant ainsi les effets pervers du recours a l'egalite ouvert aussi aux hommes; (2) la Convention, par l'entremise des mesures speciales, (d'accommodement et d'action positive), evite un autre des effets negatifs de l'approche de la situation analogue: celui de priver de droits les femmes lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'etalon masculin. Malgre tous ses aspects positifs, la Convention oubile des groupes de femmes particulierement vulnerables a la discrimination: les femmes pauvres urbaines et les lesbiennes.

Applying extremal optimisation to dynamic optimisation problems
Creators: name: Moser, I.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Extremal Optimisation is a recently conceived addition to the range of stochastic solvers. Due to its deliberate lack of convergence behaviour, it can be expected to solve dynamic problems without having to be informed when a change occurs. Moreover, the severity of change does not seriously affect algorithm performance, allowing for unpredictable fluctuations without affecting the outcome. Experimental studies on three example problems confirmed this assumption but also raised some issues concerning the interaction of solver mechanisms with problem intricacies, a phenomenon shared by many algorithm implementations. Many of the problems used as benchmarks had not been solved with EO before. While EO is a very lightweight stochastic process, it is at its most effective when the choice of next move is modelled skilfully according to the problem characteristics. Some insights into effective neighbourhood modelling were revealed during the experimentations. Stochastic algorithms are designed to skilfully and implicitly balance exploration and exploitation. Due to the random elements in these balancing mechanisms, their timing may not be accurate, i.e. a solver may often choose an explorative move in a situation where the greediest choice would be most effective. Often, the problem or problem instance offers cues for a deliberate timing of these features. In the current work, it has been observed that exploiting these cues and timing the actions accordingly – reducing the extent of randomness whenever possible – is highly beneficial to the overall outcome. Consequently, hybridisations of EO with various hill climbing techniques has proved most effective, speeding up the optimisation process even further.

description: We apply four statistical learning methods to a sample of 7941 galaxies (z < 0.06) from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey to test the feasibility of using automated algorithms to classify galaxies. Using 10 features measured for each galaxy (sizes, colours, shape parameters & stellar mass) we apply the techniques of Support Vector Machines (SVM), Classification Trees (CT), Classification Trees with Random Forest (CTRF) and Neural Networks (NN), returning True Prediction Ratios (TPRs) of 75.8%, 69.0%, 76.2% and 76.0% respectively. Those occasions whereby all four algorithms agree with each other yet disagree with the visual classification (‘unanimous disagreement’) serves as a potential indicator of human error in classification, occurring in ∼9% of ellipticals, ∼9% of Little Blue Spheroids, ∼14% of early-type spirals, ∼21% of intermediate-type spirals and ∼4% of late-type spirals & irregulars. We observe that the choice of parameters rather than that of algorithms is more crucial in determining classification accuracy. Due to its simplicity in formulation and implementation, we recommend the CTRF algorithm for classifying future galaxy datasets. Adopting the CTRF algorithm, the TPRs of the 5 galaxy types are : E, 70.1%; LBS, 75.6%; S0-Sa, 63.6%; Sab-Scd, 56.4% and Sd-Irr, 88.9%. Further, we train a binary classifier using this CTRF algorithm that divides galaxies into spheroid-dominated (E, LBS & S0-Sa) and disk-dominated (Sab-Scd & Sd-Irr), achieving an overall accuracy of 89.8%. This translates into an accuracy of 84.9% for spheroid-dominated systems and 92.5% for disk-dominated systems.
