description: [Abridged] In recent works we have proposed two new large-angle non-Gaussianity indicators based on skewness and kurtosis of patches of CMB sky-sphere, and used them to find out significant deviation from Gaussianity in frequency bands and foreground-reduced CMB maps. Simulated CMB maps with assigned type and amplitude of primordial non-Gaussianity are important tools to determine the strength, sensitivity and limitations of non-Gaussian estimators. Here we investigate whether and to what extent our non-Gaussian indicators have sensitivity to detect non-Gaussianity of local type, particularly with amplitude within the seven-year WMAP bounds. We make a systematic study by employing our statistical tools to generate maps of skewness and kurtosis from several thousands of simulated maps equipped with non-Gaussianity of local type of various amplitudes. We show that our indicators can be used to detect large-angle local-type non-Gaussianity only for relatively large values of the non-linear parameter $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm local}$. Thus, our indicators have not enough sensitivity to detect deviation from Gaussianity with the non-linear parameter within the seven-year WMAP bounds. This result along with the outcomes of frequency bands and foreground-reduced analyses suggest that non-Gaussianity captured in the previous works by our indicators is not of primordial origin, although it might have a primordial component. We have also made a comparative study of non-Gaussianity of simulated maps and of the full-sky WMAP foreground-reduced seven-year ILC-7yr map. An outcome of this analysis is that the level of non-Gaussianity of ILC-7yr map is higher than that of the simulated maps for $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm local}$ within WMAP bounds. This provides quantitative indications on the suitability of the ILC-7yr map as a Gaussian reconstruction of the full-sky CMB.

description: The theoretical Green-Kubo relation for viscosity is tested using experimentally obtained data. In a dusty plasma experiment, micron-size dust particles are introduced into a partially-ionized argon plasma, where they become negatively charged. They are electrically levitated to form a single-layer Wigner crystal, which is subsequently melted using laser heating. In the liquid phase, these dust particles experience interparticle electric repulsion, laser heating, and friction from the ambient neutral argon gas, and they can be considered to be in a nonequilibrium steady state. Direct measurements of the positions and velocities of individual dust particles are then used to obtain a time series for an off-diagonal element of the stress tensor and its time autocorrelation function. This calculation also requires the interparticle potential, which was not measured experimentally, but was obtained using a Debye-Hückel-type model with experimentally determined parameters. Integrating the autocorrelation function over time yields the viscosity for shearing motion amongst dust particles. The viscosity so obtained is found to agree with results from a previous experiment using a hydrodynamical Navier-Stokes equation. This comparison serves as a test of the Green-Kubo relation for viscosity. Our result is also compared to the predictions of several simulations.

description: In this work we investigate the accretion of cosmological fluids onto an intermediate-mass black hole at the centre of a globular cluster, focusing on the influence of the parent stellar system on the accretion flow. We show that the accretion of cosmic background radiation and the so-called dark energy onto an intermediate-mass black hole is negligible. On the other hand, if cold dark matter has a nonvanishing pressure, the accretion of dark matter is large enough to increase the black hole mass well beyond the present observed upper limits. We conclude that either intermediate-mass black holes do not exist, or dark matter does not exist, or it is not strictly collisionless. In the latter case, we set a lower limit for the parameter of the cold dark matter equation of state.

description: A novel fameless operating mode is introduced, which improves the response of a multiple fame photometric detector (mFPD). The mFPD normally has analyte travel through 4 ‘worker’ fames in series before entering a fnal ‘analytical’ fame where its emission is monitored. Here, it is found that when the analytical fame is not ignited, background luminescence is reduced over 30 times and the strong analyte chemiluminescence of the worker fames can be made to extend a large distance (~10 fame widths) into the analytical fame region where it is detected. This occurs for phosphorous (HPO*), quadratic sulfur (S2*), and linear sulfur (HSO*) emission. Conversely, carbon emission resides inside the worker fames and yields a small negative signal. As a result, very good selectivity over carbon is observed, and improved minimum detectable limits (MDL) of 4 pg S/s (S2*) and 0.3 pg P/s (HPO*) are obtained, which are up to 20 times lower than previous values reported for the mFPD. Further, linear sulfur (HSO*) yields an MDL of 6 pg S/s, which is over 3 times lower than values reported for other FPDs. Due to the worker fames present in this mode, other benefts of regular mFPD operation are maintained, like uniform analyte response and large quenching resistance. In application, a trace benzothiophene analyte is readily detected within a concentrated diesel fuel matrix in the fameless mFPD mode, while no response is observed in the conventional FPD mode. Results indicate that this fameless operating mode is advantageous for sulfur and phosphorous analysis.

description: Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a pervasive global issue as the leading cause of nonfatal injury among women. Historically, efforts to address IPV have primarily centred on supporting survivors, often neglecting the identification of and assistance for perpetrators, which may more effectively interrupt the cycle of violence. Existing screening tools used to identify perpetrators of IPV are limited by excessive length and accusatory language, underscoring the need for a tool characterized by brevity and neutrality to effectively provide assistance for this population. This study aimed to assess the acceptability of a series of questions, that were informed by patient perspectives, in order to develop a screening tool for identifying IPV perpetrators within fracture and hand clinics. Employing a convergent mixed-methods approach, this study integrated focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and cross-sectional surveys. Orthopaedic patients, healthcare providers, and male clients participating in a men’s counselling program were recruited to provide their unique insights into the developed screening tool. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative component of the study, while proportion test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, receiver operating characteristic curve and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data. A total of 224 orthopaedic patients, 151 healthcare providers, and four male clients participated in the study. The five most acceptable questions were identified from both patient and healthcare provider groups, with three questions demonstrating consistency across both cohorts. Thematic analysis revealed the following five key themes in the development of a screening tool to identify perpetrators of violence: Immersing, Non-blaming, Recognizing, Distinguishing, and Emphasizing. The final SAVE screening tool was developed by integrating both qualitative and quantitative findings. These findings support the implementation and further validation of the novel SAVE screening tool for IPV perpetrators across various healthcare settings. Identifying perpetrators is paramount in guiding educational initiatives and interventions aimed at addressing violent behaviour, with the ultimate goal of disrupting the cycle of IPV.

description: We describe a simple entangling principle based on the scattering of photons off single emitters in one-dimensional waveguides (or extremely-lossy cavities). The scheme can be applied to photonic qubits encoded in polarization or time-bin, and features a filtering mechanism that works effectively as a built-in error-correction directive. This automatically maps imperfections from weak couplings, atomic decay into undesired modes, frequency mismatches, or finite bandwidths of the incident photonic pulses, into heralded losses instead of infidelities. The scheme is thus adequate for high-fidelity maximally entangling gates even in the weak-coupling regime. These, in turn, can be directly applied to store and retrieve photonic-qubit states, thereby completing an atom-photon interface toolbox, or to sequential measurement-based quantum computations with atomic memories.

Practice of Traditional Bonesetters (TBS) and People’s Decisions to Seek Treatment for Fractures from TBS Among the Frafras of Northern Ghana

description: Using traditional and biomedical systems in times of fractures is a common phenomenon in contemporary Ghana. This paper documents the practices of Traditional Bonesetters (TBS) and the decisions people make to use TBS services to treat fractures in the ethnomedical context. Drawing from interviews with and observations of ten TBS, and interviews with 20 nonpractitioners, this study provides a descriptive account of traditional bone-setting. Results indicate that traditional bone-setting is based on knowledge that practitioners learn and pass on through word of mouth and apprenticeship training from one generation to another. Treatment methods involve manual manipulation to achieve anatomical alignment, massaging, immobilisation, and applying certain substances that have bone healing powers. These methods are similar to those that biomedical practitioners use to treat patients with fractures. However, in exceptional cases, TBS use symbolic rituals to deal with supernatural forces that play a role in causing injury. People subscribe to TBS because practitioners are easily accessible and hence provide prompt service. They also patronise TBS because of cheaper costs and their trust and belief in the efficacy of TBS methods. Although Ghanaians have already mentally integrated traditional bone-setting and biomedical practice, the two (health care) systems are yet to be formally combined. This research can be the meeting point for possible biomedical training for TBS and vice versa and facilitate the integration of traditional bone-setting with biomedicine in the trajectory of the health care system.

description: For rare species to be saved for a self-sustaining ecology, it is crucial to understand how their populations work, especially in important locations like their breeding grounds. This study digs deep into the lives of the Whooping Cranes (Grus Americana) that only breed in the environment of Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP) located in NWT/AB and are highly endangered and on the verge of extinction. Using a novel modelling technique called Agent-Based Modelling (ABM), this study gives a detailed look at how individual behaviours, relationships between species, and their environment all affect the population dynamics of endangered cranes. This research, which can be located at the intersection of ecology and computer modelling, employs actual population data of whooping cranes that are obtained from Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS), and ABM-ing approach to untangle the complex web of factors that affect the fate of whooping crane populations. This includes the biological features of whooping cranes, and the effect of climate change on reproduction success in Wood Buffalo National Park. Through rigorous ABM simulations, this approach not only catches the complexity of these correlations, but it also provides a flexible tool for simulating and testing different scenarios, which makes it possible to look at what might happen with different conservation tactics. ABM has given us some early insights that show how important it is for whooping cranes to understand breeding dynamics in Wood Buffalo National Park. These results show where conservation efforts should be directed and how important it is to protect and fix up these areas. Also, the dynamic nature of ABM shows how biological effects ripple through the ecosystem, giving a full picture of how various parts of this complex environment depend on each other. In short, this examination not only shows how the threatened whooping crane's population changes in the unique breeding ground in Wood Buffalo National Park, but it also shows how agent-based modelling in ecology could change things for the better for this species. By figuring out how the complex relationships and behaviours of whooping cranes work, this study not only helps to protect the species, but it also paves the way for more widespread uses of computational methods in ecological research. With the knowledge gained from this research, adaptive conservation methods could be employed to help the endangered whooping cranes have a self-sustaining population in their breeding ground.

The wave equation for the electromagnetic wave propagating in such structure solved in the framework of the Kronig-Penney model. The frequency band structure of 1D graphene-based photonic crystal is obtained analytically as a function of the filling factor and the thickness of the dielectric between graphene stripes. The photonic frequency corresponding to the electromagnetic wave localized by the defect of photonic crystal formed by the extra dielectric placed on the place of the stack of alternating graphene and dielectric stripes is obtained.

description: We live in a world of unprecedented connection, where we can retrieve and disseminate information nearly instantaneously at almost any time or place. This revolution in the ability to access and spread information has altered the political sphere. Not only do traditional political actors like policymakers and civil society actors have new tools to conduct politics, but the firms that own and operate this technology have gained immense cultural, economic, and political power, with the means to project such power across the globe. To better understand some challenges presented by this new global platform politics, this dissertation asks: How can international relations (IR) theory contribute to our knowledge of platform governance? I argue that IR theories offer substantial utility in examining how and why governments, firms, and civil society contest, frame, and shape the governance of and governance by online platforms. These dynamics of digital policymaking are examined in-depth through three case studies that represent challenging political problems. Drawing on securitization theory, the first case study investigates the securitization of disinformation in the United Kingdom, where the spread of election disinformation represents a real conundrum considering democracies by definition favor the unencumbered flow of ideas and information. In the second case, the concept of weaponized interdependence helps make sense of the tensions that form between entertainment companies and political forces, particularly for video game developers like Blizzard Entertainment, when deciding to (not) address political speech in virtual spaces they control. The last case leverages the Governance Triangle from the global governance literature to understand how the dynamics of civil society work to influence content moderation policy, as illuminated through the experiences of U.S. civil society practitioners. The cases’ insights point to the need for robust governance frameworks that safeguard democratic values, preserve freedom of expression, and maintain a healthy balance between security measures and the open exchange of ideas. In addressing such techno-political challenges, digital policies should prioritize transparency, inclusivity, and accountability to ensure that decisions affecting public discourse and democratic processes reflect the interests and values of a diverse range of stakeholders.

description: The spin-orbit interaction affects the electronic structure of solids in various ways. Topological insulators are one example where the spin-orbit interaction leads the bulk bands to have a non-trivial topology, observable as gapless surface or edge states. Another example is the Rashba effect, which lifts the electron-spin degeneracy as a consequence of spin-orbit interaction under broken inversion symmetry. It is of particular importance to know how these two effects, i.e. the non-trivial topology of electronic states and Rashba spin splitting, interplay with each other. Here we show, through sophisticated first-principles calculations, that BiTeI, a giant bulk Rashba semiconductor, turns into a topological insulator under a reasonable pressure. This material is shown to exhibit several unique features such as, a highly pressure-tunable giant Rashba spin splitting, an unusual pressure-induced quantum phase transition, and more importantly the formation of strikingly different Dirac surface states at opposite sides of the material.

In this illustration, the high-performance scoring family 5 lost all its potential DPQ during the second wintering and thus cannot be selected. Thus, the family with the fifth ranked performance is selected. Year t + 1: For each selected family, the three sister queens with the highest own performance are selected as DPQ. If less than three sisters survived the second wintering (as for family 3 in this illustration), all surviving sisters are selected as DPQ to produce the same number of drones as expected from any DPQ family (to balance the contribution of each family to the drone pool). Green frames refer to selected families and queens and red frames refer to eliminated families.

description: Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a debilitating cardiovascular autonomic nervous system disorder. Patients with POTS experience a high symptom burden and significant reductions in quality of life, but the full impacts of POTS were previously not fully understood. There are no approved medications for treating POTS, and evidence for off-label medication use and non-pharmacological treatments is of poor quality. Aims: The two aims of this program of research were to (1) investigate the multi-factorial impacts of POTS, and (2) evaluate compression garments as a potential non-pharmacological treatment. Methods: Aim 1 consisted of two studies: A large survey used to evaluate the economic and employment impacts of POTS, the role of sex differences in POTS, and the impact of pregnancy on POTS symptoms, and a survey of patients at a specialist autonomic centre to evaluate long-term outcomes of POTS. Aim 2 consisted of three studies: an in lab clinical trial of a proof-of-concept compression garment, an at home clinical trial using “real-world” compression garments, and a qualitative interview project evaluating the patient experience with compression garments. Results: Aim 1: Patients with POTS experience significant employment and economic impacts. Female patients with POTS experienced longer diagnostic delays and were more likely to be told their POTS was all in their head compared to male patients. Most patients who had been pregnant experienced a worsening of POTS symptoms during pregnancy. Over the long term, most patients with POTS continue to experience POTS symptoms. Aim 2: Body compression of the abdomen and legs reduces heart rate and improves symptoms by increasing stroke volume. Patients reported benefits from compression garments, as well as limitations; it is important for clinicians to be aware of this. Conclusions: Patients with POTS experience significant impacts including economic and employment loss, female patients with POTS experience a longer diagnostic delay than male patients, and most patients experience worse POTS symptoms during pregnancy. Compression garments are a cost-effective treatment that should be recommended for patients with POTS. Easy to implement treatments like compression garments may help to reduce symptom burden and negative impacts of POTS.

Knowledge and know-how: a new model of academic freedom and dissent in non-democratic countries
Creators: name: Hancock, Lynn Marissa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: For scholars of political change, the Arab Spring movements constitute a major world event with both obvious short-term consequences and more elusive long-term and diffusion effects. This thesis contributes to the literature on regime change and political dissent by modelling the conditions under which one key group of elites (academics) are most likely to take-up an anti-state platform in the wake of a key world event such as the Arab Spring. Ultimately, the herein proposed model hypothesizes the relationship between the likelihood of an academic dissent movement and three country-level indicators: (1) the level of legal protections for academics, (2) feelings of relative economic, social, and academic deprivation by university faculty, and (3) the social and scholarly prestige associated with the social sciences and humanities (SSaH) in comparison with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In addition to a literature review and formal model construction, the thesis includes a focused discussion of a mixed-methods approach to the study of academic dissent in non-democratic countries. Bringing such methods as Cost-Benefit Analysis, qualitative interviewing, J-Curve modelling, and ex-ante hypothesizing to bear on the study of academic dissent, opens a previously understudied area of inquiry to rigorous empirical testing.

description: Clinical guidelines have recommended exercise and education as first-line treatments for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) for 25 years, but these proven treatments are underused globally. In Alberta, joint replacements are publicly funded. Meanwhile, first-line treatments are funded with private insurance or out-of-pocket which reduces access. We sought to inform the policy-making process in Alberta by addressing three objectives: 1) Describe “usual care” (UC) patterns of education, exercise, weight management, pain medication and other nonsurgical treatments for knee OA in a cohort of people recommended for nonsurgical care by an orthopaedic surgeon; 2) Estimate the real-world incremental net monetary benefit (INMB) of a standardized education and exercise therapy program (GLA:D®) compared to usual care for people managing hip and/or knee OA; 3) Estimate the budget impact of funding GLA:D® for people with hip and knee OA waiting for total joint replacement (TJR) consultation in a universal publicly insured healthcare system. We surveyed 250 people over the telephone and found that only 20% of people used treatments consistent with international clinical guidelines during a three-to-six-year period after an orthopaedic surgeon recommended nonsurgical care. Our prospective matched cohort study (GLA:D® n=127, UC n=127) showed that GLA:D® had a positive INMB compared to UC from the Ministry of Health perspective over 12-months. The INMB of GLA:D® was still positive but less certain over a lifetime as well as when out-of-pocket and private insurance costs were considered. Our budget impact analysis model showed that publicly funding GLA:D® for everyone waiting for TJR consultation could be an affordable solution to avoid surgeries, improve equitable access to evidence-based treatments and save more than the program costs. Our research shows that publicly funding GLA:D® would increase use of first-line treatments in Alberta by filling an important care gap, offer more equitable access to evidence-based care, reduce significant out-of-pocket expenses for people living with OA and improve health system performance.

description: Beams of neutrinos have been proposed as a vehicle for communications under unusual circumstances, such as direct point-to-point global communication, communication with submarines, secure communications and interstellar communication. We report on the performance of a low-rate communications link established using the NuMI beam line and the MINERvA detector at Fermilab. The link achieved a decoded data rate of 0.1 bits/sec with a bit error rate of 1% over a distance of 1.035 km, including 240 m of earth.

description: We study the effect of perpendicular magnetic fields on a single-electron system with a strongly time-dependent electrostatic potential. Continuous improvements to the current quantization in these electron pumps are revealed by high-resolution measurements. Simulations show that the sensitivity of tunnel rates to the barrier potential is enhanced, stabilizing particular charge states. Nonadiabatic excitations are also suppressed due to a reduced sensitivity of the Fock-Darwin states to electrostatic potential. The combination of these effects leads to significantly more accurate current quantization.
Local Hydrologic Conditions Associated with Seismic Line Disturbance in the Boreal Forest of Northern Alberta

description: Seismic lines are a prominent disturbance in the boreal forest, characterized by clearcut lines between 1.5-10 meters wide, fragmenting the landscape. After clearing, these seismic lines frequently exhibit low seedling recruitment and growth rates, due in part to the altered hydrological conditions on the line, resulting in a persistent disturbance that requires further understanding to facilitate recovery. As such, this research quantified soil and hydrologic properties on seismic lines at two sites south of Fort McMurray Alberta during 2021 and 2022. Water table levels were measured weekly, and were paired with measurements of bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity, porosity and specific yield. A snow study, completed in March of 2022, analyzed snow depth, density and snow water equivalent across seismic lines. Bulk density increased on seismic lines by 16% and 124% in lowland and upland ecosites respectively, due to compression in lowlands, and moss removal in uplands. Saturated hydraulic conductivity decreased on seismic lines by one order of magnitude for upland and lowland ecosites. Porosity decreased significantly at the rooting zone in upland ecosites. Specific yield decreased significantly at the surface of upland and lowland ecosites. Water table variability was increased on seismic lines, however depth to water table was more related to topographic position. Snow water equivalent was up to 90 mm higher than the natural area on wide East-West oriented lines. The results may provide information to researchers and industry partners on the alteration of important ecosite factors on seismic lines that may limit line recovery trajectories.

description: Our SoTL research was conducted at the Taylor Family Digital Library, University of Calgary, a Canadian research-intensive university. As librarians and educators, we wondered how Indigenous students perceived learning in library spaces. In collaboration with Indigenous students, our co-researchers and study participants, we redefined the research question: How can ethical spaces be created to enhance learning in a good way for Indigenous learners at the University of Calgary? Ermine (2007) defines ethical space as “a space between the Indigenous and Western thought worlds” to meet and work together to build engaging and enduring partnerships (p. 194). Using Photovoice and photo-elicitation methods, we collected students’ stories, then used NVivo software to analyze and interpret student interviews, photos, and discussions. Data illuminated the ways Indigenous students imagined ethical spaces for learning. These data align with the vision identified in the University’s Indigenous Strategy ii’ taa’poh’to’p: Ways of knowing (teaching, learning and research), ways of doing (policies, procedures and practice), ways of connecting (relationships, partnerships, connections to land and place) and ways of being (identity, inclusivity, leadership and engagement) (2017, p. 6) Addressing the conference’s theme of Context Matters, one of Felton’s SoTL principles, “grounded in context”, informed this work (2008, p. 122). A scoping review identified the global literature on library services and resources supporting Indigenous students’ learning, and the local context focused on Indigenous students’ perspectives of learning in informal spaces on our campus through participatory photography methods Our study provided Indigenous students an opportunity to explore ways of creating ethical spaces to support their learning, reflect, and contribute their knowledge. To move forward, recommendations and conclusions will serve to develop a plan for action. References Ermine, W. (2007). The ethical space of engagement. Indigenous Law Journal. 2007; 6(1):193–203.
