description: Time has puzzled scientists. Some see it as just a tool and a unit of measurement, while others consider time to be a real thing and needs to be measured. There are also those who believe that time is an ancient thing that arose with the creation of the universe and the Earth, running parallel to life in them, and counting every movement, event, or speed in them. While some see it as an essential part and a major component of the virtual relationship that includes life and place, there are also those who see time as a metaphysical thing that only appeared and developed in human consciousness and then mixed with the physics of life.

Is duration measured by movement, or is movement measured by duration or time? Here began the dilemma of this research: How did time transform from a concept that reads and measures the flow of time forward, that is, the flow of time, according to Isaac Newton, into a physical measuring tool that calculates the movement, speed, and state of things? Then the concept turned into a tool that calculates the speed of light and tells the story of the origin and development of the universe.

Scientists will not agree on a clear, direct, and frank interpretation of the concept of time, but people generally agree that time can be divided into past, present, and future. This division, according to this research, has gradually developed in human consciousness since the manifestations of knowledge appeared in the human mind and began to take its first steps. In the wondrous land where the sun rises repeatedly, the moon also rises, planets and stars appear, trees grow, rivers and seas overflow, storms and rain intensify, light appears and then darkness, and creatures wake up and sleep, mysteriously and repeatedly, until all these phenomena have become Appearances are measurable, with the development of human consciousness.

In this brief research paper, we will discuss what is called “the present,” and the validity of its existence in the real time in which we live, and where its place is in human consciousness, and why scientists let it tamper with mathematical, physical, and social matter, and transformed it from a mere thing that does not exist, to a rest stop, which sometimes takes a long time. , between the past and the future.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This study examined coping and change in coping among a sample of 158 women entering a randomized clinical trial of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for an alcohol use disorder (AUD). This is a secondary analysis of data collected as part of a larger two-armed trial of different models of individual and couples therapy for women with AUDs. Study aims were to describe the initial coping strategies -- including demographic, psychological, and substance use correlates -- of women entering treatment, examine change in coping during and following treatment, examine change in coping as a function of treatment attendance and engagement, and explore the relationship between coping and change in coping as predictive of longer-term drinking outcome. Participants were recruited from the community and were: at least 18 years old, in a stable relationship with a male partner, met DSM-IV AUD criteria, and had used alcohol in the 30 days prior to recruitment. Coping was assessed with the Coping Behaviours Inventory (CBI) (Litman et al., 1983) administered at four time points: at baseline, after 12 weeks of treatment, and at follow-up assessments six and twelve months after treatment. Women entered treatment with a comparatively high degree of cognitive versus behavioral coping strategies, and total coping followed a quadratic shape and increased during treatment. Attendance was positively associated with change in coping during treatment, while homework completion was not. Coping and change in coping was predictive of fewer drinking days at follow-up as well as greater likelihood of abstinence. However, for a portion of women still drinking, coping was also associated with greater drinks per drinking day. Implications and next steps are discussed.

POSSIBILITIES OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE INTERVENTIONS IN THE TREATMENT OF LIVER ABSCESSES
Creators: name: A.R. Bababekov, U.K. Kasimov
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The presented work analyzes the results of treatment of 168 patients with liver abscesses, who were on inpatient treatment in the multidisciplinary clinic of TMA, for the period from 2015 - 2022. The main instrumental methods of investigation are: Ultrasound and multispiral computed tomography. To date, minimally invasive interventions are highly effective, provided adequate local sanitation and targeted antibiotic therapy. These operations should be performed in specialized institutions and by high-level specialists, as multiple punctures with attempted catheterization lead to traumatization, with the development of complications.  The recommended tactics of patient management allows to control the inflammatory process, with adequate cleansing of the abscess cavity. Inclusion of VVACP in the complex of treatment measures at the stage of infiltration allows to prevent abscess formation.

Gas phase reactivity studies of organic species using mass spectrometry
Creators: name: Zhang, Sisi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: DNA damaged bases are one of the reasons for a variety diseases, such as carcinogenesis, aging and cell death. uracil is a nucleobase that arises from cytosine deamination. N-Deprotonated uracil functions as a leaving group during the deamination process. Theoretically, in the SN2 reaction, leaving group ability tracks with pKa of the conjugate acid in the solution phase, that is, lower pKa is associated with better leaving group ability. In the gas phase, leaving group ability is better with higher acidity of the conjugate acid. The studies we did previously showed that although 3-methyluracil is as acidic as hydrochloric acid in the gas phase, the leaving group ability of chloride is better than deprotonated 3-methyluracil. The reason we propose this is that the electron delocalization in the transition state of SN2 reaction cannot be fully recognized as in acidity. Therefore, we designed substituted aniline and amine with leaving groups with or without the ability of electron delocalization and found that substituted amine with leaving groups that did not have the ability of electron delocalization tracked better with acidity than the one with the ability of electron delocalization. The result is consistent with our proposal. We also tested the Hammond postulate with the calculation results.     Another focus of interest is N-heterocyclic singlet carbenes (NHCs), which are ligands of a variety of  organometallic catalysts. Presumably the ligands are more effective if they are more basic, that is, with higher proton affinity. The protonated carbenes are also an important class of ionic liquids, known as green solvents with several advantages over traditional organic solvents. Strassner et al designed a new type of ionic liquid imidazolium salt with tunable para-aryl substituent, and we measured the acidity of these tunable aryl-alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs).     The proton-bound dimers of dimethyl imidazole and PCy3 are found to exhibit interesting reactivity. In addition to producing just protonated carbenes and protonated phosphine with collision induced dissociation (CID), the proton-bound dimers generate another ion of interest with m/z 295. We designed and synthesized the di-CD3 imidazole, and proved that the dimethyl system undergoes phosphine methylation during CID process.

description: This application focuses on the preclinical development of a pharmacological intervention for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-related cognitive impairments (Chemo Brain, CRCI). Millions are diagnosed with cancer every year and more than 60% now survive up to 20 years, unfortunately with severely diminished quality of life due to treatment-induced cognitive impairments. CRCI also influences the decisions of oncologists. Fear of CRCI constrains the doses and duration of chemotherapeutic regimens required for arresting tumors, with a diminished chance for cancer patients to achieve remission. Notably, research focused on therapeutic interventions for CRCI is still in its infancy. Clinical trials for medical treatments targeted at CRCI are currently unavailable. This proposal concentrates on preventing and reversing the cognitive impairments caused by cisplatin, a widely used ovarian cancer drug. This particular patient population develops CRCI consistently during and after cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The PI identified that the cognitive deficits caused by cisplatin seem to result from the loss of excitatory synapses and dendritic spines that anchor them, as well as from injury to adult and developing neurons. Furthermore, this neuronal toxicity derives from the decreased production of neurotrophic factors and especially brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The PI now aims to identify safe and effective pharmacological treatments to ameliorate the cellular and synaptic damage and prevent or counteract the resulting learning and memory defects. BDNF- stimulated intracellular signaling is critical for neuronal survival and plasticity. In the hippocampus, BDNF regulates dendritic spine integrity. Our preliminary data shows that cisplatin severely decreases BDNF mRNA levels in primary hippocampal neuronal cultures, while treatment with ampakine (such as CX929) restored the cisplatin-induced BDNF down-regulation and ameliorated the dendritic damage caused by cisplatin treatment. Two specific aims are proposed: Aim 1. To determine if in vivo administration of the ampakine CX929 prevents synaptic loss and cell death of CA1 and CA3 hippocampal neurons provoked by a cisplatin regimen that recapitulates the cisplatin chemotherapy administered for ovarian cancer. Aim 2. To determine if in vivo administration of the ampakine CX929 prevents the learning and memory deficits provoked by a cisplatin regimen that recapitulates the clinical treatment for ovarian cancer.
Beyond standard model, LHC phenomenology and dark matter
Creators: name: Zhao, Yue

Year: 2012

description: The standard model in particle physics is such a successful model, which agrees well with  almost all experimental tests in the past more than 20 years. However, there is large hope that  new physics beyond the standard model would show up in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).  Meanwhile, many direct and indirect dark matter searches have shown signs of potential signals.  If con¯rmed, the properties of the most mysterious but dominant part of matter constitute will  be unveiled soon.  In this thesis, we mainly have three sections. First, we will talk in detail about LHC  phenomenology. This includes several topics, recovering particle masses from missing energy  signatures with displaced tracks, diagnosing the top-quark angular asymmetry using LHC in-  trinsic charge asymmetries, signature searches, including multi-lepton and diphoton searches,  in the early LHC. After collider phenomenology, we will discuss a study for dark matter, which  is focused on the indirect search, i.e. gamma ray spectra from dark matter annihilation and  decay. And in the last section, we will cover several topics about some studies on formal side  of physics, including metastable spontaneous SUSY breaking in a landscape of fuzzy droplets,  entropic force and its °uctuation from gauge/gravity duality.
Dynamics of erythrocytes, vesicles and capsules inshear flow

description: Three-dimensional numerical simulations using immersed boundary/front-trackingmethod are considered to study the dynamics and deformation of microscopic deformable cells with elastic and viscoelastic membranes suspended in linear shear flow. The objective in this thesis is to understand the complex fluid/structure interaction problem for membrane-bound soft matter in dilute suspensions. The numerical model includes all essential properties of the cell membrane, namely, the resistance against shear deformation, area dilatation, and bending, as well as the viscosity difference between the cell interior and suspending fluids. In addition, the Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic model is incorporated to account for the effect of membrane viscosity. Our numerical technique is able to simulate complex dynamics of vesicles, capsules, and red blood cells in the tank-treading, breathing, trembling, and tumbling modes. A detailed comparison of the numerical results for vesicles is made with various theoretical models and experiments. It is found that the applicability of the theoretical models is limited to quasi-spherical vesicles. We show that near the transition between the tank-treading and tumbling dynamics, both the vacillating-breathing-like motion characterized by a smooth ellipsoidal shape, and the trembling-like motion characterized by a highly deformed shape are possible. We also present phase diagrams of the single red blood cell dynamics in linear shear flow. We find that the cell dynamics is often more complex than the well-known tank-treading, tumbling, and swinging motion and is characterized by an extreme variation of the cell shape. Identifying such complex shape dynamics termed here as breathing dynamics, is the focus of this study. Further, we find a very good agreement between our numerical and the theoretical and experimental results on the tank-treading frequency of red blood cells, which is often measured in experiments and used to extract the mechanical properties of the cell. A comprehensive analysis of the influence of the membrane viscosity on buckling, deformation and dynamics is given for initially spherical or oblate capsules. The major finding here is that the membrane viscosity leads to buckling in the range of shear rates in which no buckling is observed for capsules with purely elastic membrane.

Three essays on health care spending
Creators: name: Yoo, Minkyoung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation is composed of three essays that consider the determinants and persistence of health care spending and how policies that control increasing health care costs affect the distribution of health care spending in the U.S.  In the first essay, I study the association between education and health care spending for a set of health conditions amenable to self-management.  Empirical findings from estimated health expenditure models reveal strong inverse relationships between education and health care spending among elderly adults with hypertension and/or asthma.  Additionally, I find that greater educational attainment is associated with a reduced likelihood of being in the top 5% of health care spenders for elderly adults with hypertension and nonelderly adults with diabetes, and also with less severe conditions.   The second essay assesses how the distribution of family out-of-pocket health care spending has been affected by changes in recent cost-sharing to understand the effectiveness of the risk protection function of private health insurance against high medical care expenses.  The results suggest that families who rely more on health care because of one or more their member’s existing health conditions are most affected by changes in cost sharing during the period 2001-2005 and the increased exposure to out-of-pocket spending occurrs primarily for families at higher percentiles of the out-of-pocket spending distribution, thus reducing the “return” to risk protection from holding private health insurance.  The final essay examines the dynamics of out-of-pocket health care spending by looking at the persistence of such spending among Medicare beneficiaries.  The findings suggest that having a certain chronic condition or a health shock clearly increases the probability of out-of-pocket health care spending persistence.  Additionally, having an existing health insurance that supplements Medicare coverage or the acquisition of a new supplementary health insurance has a significant impact on the probability of persistence.
Bioretention system as an alternative method for restoration of Lake Apopka, Florida

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: The eutrophication of the lake has become a worldwide environmental issue since mid-twentieth century. As the fourth largest lake in Florida, Lake Apopka was pollutedleading to the hypereutrophic consequences mainly resulted from the drainage of its large floodplain marsh, which has a high concentration of nutrients, for agricultural development. The hypereutrophic water of Lake Apopka has resulted in the loss of recreational function and atheistic values to the public. In response to this hypereutrophic issue, the St. John River Water Management District (SJRWMD) in charge of the Lake Apopka Basin has prepared a comprehensive management plan named Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan for Lake Apopka to restore and preserve the lake and its environment. In this SWIM Plan, a marsh flow-way close to the outlet of the lake has been designed and operated as a major project to remove the high concentration of nutrients presented in the lake water, which could remove 30 percent total phosphorus (TP) and 80 to 90 percent total suspended solids (TSS) from the inflow of lake water. To improve the pollutant removal efficiency in Lake Apopka, the bioretention system, one implementation of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP), was researched and designed as an alternative method to treat lake water, subsequently, was compared with the marsh flow-way in three aspects: land area, removal efficiency, and cost. With a flow rate of three hundred seventy two thousand cubic meters per day (37.2×10⁴ m³d⁻¹), the land area of bioretention system to treat lake water would be approximately 20 percent of the marsh flow-way. The established pollutant removal efficiencies of the bioretention system are remarkably higher than those of the marsh flow-way, with TP of 60 percent, TN of 30 percent, TSS of 90 percent, respectively. However, the preliminary analysis indicated that the cost of building bioretention system would be much higher than that for constructing marsh flow-way.

description: Altered division (proliferation) rates of cells is a central characteristic of all established cancers, including breast cancer. A remarkable, but well-documented feature about cancer is that the process of carcinogenesis itself (i.e., the sequence by which normal cells become cancerous) involves proliferation of cells.

 Each time a cell divides, the likelihood of genetic mutation increases, and the risk for subsequent transformation to cancer increases cumulatively. Indeed, most of the breast cancer preventative interventions that have been proposed, such as tamoxifen treatment, are believed to work by reducing the proliferation rate of pre-cancerous cells and thereby slowing or preventing the development of cancer. It is therefore of obvious importance to have a reliable way for measuring the division rate of cells in tissues such as the breast, if we are to understand how cancer develops or test how cancer preventative agents truly work. Unfortunately, techniques for measuring cell proliferation have, until recently, either been unreliable or too toxic for use in human beings (due to the incorporation of radioactivity or mutagenic agents into DNA).

 It is our belief that the field of breast cancer research has been hindered considerably by the absence of reliable cell division measurements applicable in people. In 1998, our laboratory presented a new technique for measuring cell division rates directly, accurately and safely in people, without use of radioactivity or toxic metabolites (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 1998). This technique has been used to study the proliferation rates of T lymphocytes in AIDS patients (Nature Medicine, 1999) as well as several other cell types. We have recently worked out how to apply this technique to breast epithelial cells (the cells that become breast cancer) in animals.

 The objectives of the present study are three-fold: first, to demonstrate that the technique is valid and can be applied in humans as well as animals; second, to determine what genistein, a potent cancer preventative agent in rats (found in soybeans) does to breast cell proliferation; and, third, to establish normal rates of breast cell division in humans and the factors that are associated with variability between women (e.g. age, weight, ethnicity, diet). Accordingly, we propose animal studies and human studies in this project. The animal studies will attempt to learn what effect genistein has on breast cell division; the human studies will attempt to learn the normal cell division rates and the nature of inter-individual variability. Our hope is that these exploratory, pilot studies will the groundwork for future large-scale trials assessing the role of breast cell proliferation carcinogenesis.

Towards an ab initio description of correlated materials
Creators: name: Yee, Chuck-Hou
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Strongly-correlated materials are a rich playground for physical    phenomena, exhibiting complex phase diagrams with many competing orders.    Ab initio insights into materials combined with physical ideas provide    the ability to identify the organizing principles driving the correlated    electronic behavior and pursue first-principles design of new compounds.    Realistic modeling of correlated materials is an active area of research,    especially with the recent merger of density functional theory (DFT) with    dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT).      This thesis is structured in two parts.  The first describes the methods and    algorithmic developments which drive advances in DFT+DMFT.  In    Ch. 2 and 3, we provide an overview of the two    foundational theories, DMFT and DFT.  In the second half of    Ch. 3, we describe some of the principles guiding the    combination of the two theories to form DFT+DMFT.  In Ch. 4, we    describe the algorithm lying at the heart of modern DFT+DMFT implementations,    the hybridization expansion formulation of continuous-time quantum monte    carlo (CTQMC) for the general Anderson impurity problem, as well as a fast    rejection algorithm for speeding-up the local trace evaluation.  The final    chapter in the methods section describes an algorithm for direct sampling of    the partition function, and thus the free energy and entropy, of simple    Anderson impurity models within CTQMC.      The second part of the thesis is a collection of applications of our emph{ab                                                                                                                                    initio} approach to key correlated materials.  We first apply our method to    plutonium binary alloys (Ch. 6), which when supplemented with    slave-boson mean-field theory, allows us to understand the observed    photoemission spectra.  Ch. 7 describes the computation of spectra    and optical conductivity for rare-earth nickelates grown as epitaxial thin    films.  In the final two chapters, we turn our attention to the    high-temperature superconductors.  In the first, we show that the    charge-transfer energy is a key chemical variable which controls the    superconducting transition temperatures across the cuprate families.  In the    second, we extend this idea towards first-principles design of cuprates by    exploring a new family of copper oxysulfides.}

Fostering flexibility

description: This dissertation examines the role intense emotions and framing processes play in strengthening commitment at recruiting events produced by Reclaiming, a socio-religious movement. Both the religious and activist sides of Reclaiming focus on personal and communal growth and change. The movement’s overall goal is to develop a “magical activist” frame for the self using rituals that expose participants to a full spectrum of affect and intense emotion. The research focuses on one recruiting and training tool: the week-long retreats known as “Intensives” because the events use intense, emotionally provocative myths. The research design incorporated multiple methods: full participant observation, in-depth interviews, and surveys. The design has three components: 1) a three year longitudinal study (2004-2006) of two annual Intensive events held in different locations in the Eastern United States, 2) a cross-sectional comparison of data gathered during 2007 at four recruiting and training events in different regions of the United States and Canada, and 3) supplementary data collected at quarterly organizer meetings of one group as well as observations from the Inter-Reclaiming gatherings in 2008 and 2010. I develop two new concepts, the “emotion shape” and the “emotion chain,” which relate to emotional patterns over time including combinations of emotions evoked by rituals. The qualitative analysis is process-oriented and includes a multifaceted analysis focused on power structures and empowering self-transformations, the interplay of movement-specific and general framing processes, and the interaction between emotional, somatic, and cognitive states. This in turn provides substantive insight into the question of who gets involved with the Intensives and whether this involvement is sustained over time. The findings from the small-N quantitative analyses indicate that men, people with families that engaged in activism and/or politics, and people whose families saw religion as not very important are slightly more likely to return to an Intensive. I conclude by arguing that the Intensive events help socialize participants into thinking, emoting, and perceiving the world in flexible, paradoxical ways and use the metaphor of recycling to develop a model of Reclaiming’s circular, cyclical self-transformation process, which proceeds in a different manner for prototypical activists and magical religious people.
Dynamics of gene expression profiling in liver following thermal injury and sepsis

description: Burn injury leads to a prolonged inflammatory response in the body. Moreover, severe burn injuries are always associated with bacterial infections which cause more persistent inflammatory response, resulting in prolonged hyper-metabolism and hyper-catabolism on systemic level. Despite significant advances in patient care, morbidity and mortality remain high in those patients. The difficulty in developing new and more effective medications is due, in part, to our incomplete understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Liver, the main organ regulating both the inflammation and metabolism plays a key role in responding to external injuries. Thus, analyzing the responses in liver to burn, infection and “double hits” injury from global perspective as well as in a timely manner may offer a molecular framework for study on the pathophysiology of systemic inflammation induced by injuries.   The overall studies were divided into single injury in which the animals were subjected to single burn injury or single cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) injury individually and “double hits” injury in which the rats were subjected to a burn injury and subsequent CLP injury. Animals were sacrificed at various time points, and whole liver samples were analyzed using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays. After identifying differentially expressed probesets in injury rats vs. sham over time, the concatenated data sets corresponding to these differentially expressed probesets in injury and sham were combined and analyzed using a “consensus clustering” approaches. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to functionally annotate genes, and RT-PCR was used to confirm microarray trends.   Both single burn and CLP injury induces the activation of pro-inflammatory response, anti-inflammatory response, and enhanced synthesis of acute-phase proteins, increased metabolism and tissue damage. Genes which are directly in response to bacteria removal are only triggered in CLP injury. In double hits study, burn priming prior to CLP disrupts the transcriptional response in the liver to septic injury in the rat by altering the onset of anti-bacterial functions in the liver. In addition, burn enhanced hyper metabolic conditions through aggressive amino acid degradation at critical time points.

Novel perspectives in cancer chemoprevention via Nrf2 pathway
Creators: name: Wu, Tien-Yuan

description: The cancer chemoprevention is the strategy of blocking or slowing the onset of premalignant tumors and decreases the incidence of cancer with relatively nontoxic chemical substance. More importantly, Nrf2 and Nrf2-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway plays a critical role in the cancer chemoprevention. Studies of the induction of Nrf2 and subsequent phase II detoxifying/antioxidant drug metabolism enzymes expression by phytochemicals in vivo or in vitro are considered as a major topic. This thesis will focus on the factors important in the regulation of Nrf2 and phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes which are generally considered as antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes in cancer chemoprevention. Accumulating evidence from epidemiological studies indicates that chronic inflammation and oxidative stress play critical roles in neoplastic development. Our results show that tea Chrysanthemun zawadskii (CZ) and licorice Glycyrrhiza uralensis (LE) extracts exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activities by suppressing the mRNA and protein expression levels of pro-inflammatory biomarkers and the NF-kB luciferase activity. Both extracts also showed strong inhibitory effects against NF-kB-mediated inflammatory as well as strong activation of the Nrf2-ARE-antioxidative stress signaling pathways. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and its acid condensation product, 3,3’-diindolylmethane (DIM) were examined the chemopreventive effect and the molecular mechanism, particularly the anti-oxidative stress pathway regulated by Nrf2, in transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate (TRAMP) mice and TRAMP C1 cells. I3C and DIM significantly suppressed the incidence of palpable tumor (p<0.05) and reduced the genitourinary weight (p<0.05) and induced Nrf2 and related genes expression in TRAMP mice. DIM can also epigenetically modify the CpG methylation status of Nrf2 in vivo and in vitro, and enhanced expression of Nrf2 and Nrf2-mediated genes. Using dietary phytochemicals to modulate the genomic as well as epigenomic is thought to be plausible in cancer chemoprevention in the future.

description: In this dissertation, I provide a place-based examination of settler fire management in the Boreal Forest region of what is lately known as the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. In Chapter 1, I start with a historical examination of settler colonialism in the kistapinānihk, or Prince Albert, region of the province, which is my home community and the site of state-led wildfire management in Saskatchewan. Drawing from Indigenous studies and settler colonial studies research, I argue that settler colonialism in the region is characterized by: the violation of agreements with Indigenous Nations, communities and people; ecological change for the purpose of developing and maintaining settler economies; and settler-led conquest characterized by genocide and Indigenous erasure. In Chapter 2, I describe anti-colonial placed-based research, including how my positioning as a non-Indigenous settler researcher informed my research topics, questions, methods and analysis. In the subsequent article-style chapters, I examine two areas of wildfire management in the province: (1) agency-led wildfire response and policy; and (2) wildfire research and practice as is characterized by dominant science and this dissertation. In Chapter 3, I examine the history of fire tower development in the province, including a recent shift towards remotely-operated cameras, showing how wildfire detection in the province has, at times, been colonial insofar as it renders Indigenous lands and labour exploitable to achieve settler state economic and political goals. In Chapter 4, I document the quarter-century long controversy about what many Indigenous northerners refer to as the ‘Let-it-Burn’ policy, showing how provincial practices of fire suppression render many Indigenous ‘values-at-risk’ expendable under the guiding premise that fires are ‘natural’ in certain regions. In Chapter 5, co-authors Robin Mcleod, Dr. Herman Michell and myself conduct a systematic literature review of wildfire science pertaining to climate change in the province, showing how Indigenous erasure permeates dominant scientific research practices, which in turn impacts scientific knowledge of wildfire issues. In Chapter 6, I examine these findings as they relate to Indigenous and settler jurisdiction, concepts of universalism and place-based knowledge, and settling as research practice. Reframing settling as an ethical orientation to uphold obligations with Indigenous Nations, I suggest that settlers may contribute to anti-colonialism within fire management and research by working collectively with Indigenous Nations to push back against practices of conquest and uphold agreements for shared jurisdiction.
