description: ABSTRACT Background: To determine the accuracy of patient self-reports of specific cardiovascular diagnoses and to identify individual patient characteristics that influence the accuracy. Methods: This investigation was conducted as a part of the randomized controlled ORBITAL study. Patients with hypercholesterolemia were enrolled in 1961 primary-care centers all over Germany. Self-reported questionnaire data of 7640 patients were compared with patients' case report forms (CRFs) and medical records on cardiovascular diseases, using k statistics and binomial logit models. Results: k values ranged from 0.89 for diabetes to 0.04 for angina. The percentage of overreporting varied from 1 percent for diabetes to 17 percent for angina, whereas the percentage of underreporting varied from 8.0 percent for myocardial infarction to 57 percent for heart failure. Individual characteristics such as choice of individual general practitioner, male gender and age were associated with the accuracy of self-report data. Conclusion: Since the agreement between patient self-report and CRFs/medical records varies with specific cardiovascular diagnoses in patients with hypercholesterolemia, the adequacy of this tool seems to be limited. However, the authors recommend additional data validation for certain patient groups and consideration of individual patient characteristics associated with over- and underreporting.

description: We study light-cone distribution amplitudes of heavy-light systems, such as a B-meson. By an explicit computation, we determine how two-parton distribution amplitudes mix with three-parton ones at one loop: ϕ_+ is shown to mix only into itself, whereas ϕ_- mixes with the difference of three-parton distribution amplitudes Ψ_A-Ψ_V. We determine the corresponding anomalous dimension and we check the gauge independence of our result by considering a general covariant gauge. Finally, we comment on some implications of our result for phenomenological models of these distribution amplitudes.

A performance-based loading protocol : generated sequential ground motion
Creators: name: Golestani Najafabadi, Maryam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This doctoral dissertation aims to propose and develop a realistic performance-based seismic loading protocol called the Generated Sequential Ground Motion (GSGM). A comprehensive literature review reveals a gap in establishing a link between performance-based seismic design and experimental testing of structures, proving the need for a new loading protocol. GSGM is a ground motion fabricated from segments of real recorded ground motions that enables the introduction of performance-based seismic assessment and design to experimental testing for setups such as shaking table and Pseudo-dynamic testing. Additionally, it can potentially decrease the quantity of nonlinear time history analyses needed for performance-based seismic design to just one analysis. The protocol optimizes the behavioural information output of an experimental test or numerical analysis by incorporating dynamic demands corresponding to design limit states with different probabilities of exceedance (i.e., 10%, 5%, and 2% in 50 years) in a single record. In addition, since the segments are matched to specific target spectra, the number of ground motions required to estimate the mean response is reduced. A step-by-step procedure and a MATLAB algorithm are developed for producing GSGMs. The MATLAB algorithm is utilized to generate four different GSGMs for a specific case study bridge pier and earthquake scenario. The ability of GSGMs as an alternative input to code-compliant ground motion suites in replicating suite properties and predicting structural behaviour is assessed. Thus, four code-compliant suites consisting of 11 ground motions and two suites of 28 and 100 ground motions as more robust estimations of the actual response are selected. This study suggests that the GSGM can replicate structural responses and damages in accordance with current code procedures. The GSGM is a ground motion applicable exclusively to explicit dynamic testing setups like shake tables and Pseudo-dynamic testing. However, such methods require equipment and software that may not be accessible in all laboratories. Conversely, the quasi-static testing setup is a simpler arrangement readily available in most laboratories. Hence, this study attempts to create the displacement loading protocol version of the GSGM. For this purpose, a dynamic testing method called the Dynamic Displacement Testing (DDT) method was introduced and investigated through sensitivity analyses and Monte Carlo simulation. As the DDT method introduced significant errors in response, a modified version of this method, along with a method based on cyclic loading protocols, was proposed for generating the displacement-based version of the GSGM.

description: Η παρούσα έρευνα με τίτλο «Παράδοξοι ημιυπαίθριοι χώροι» εξετάζει τους ημιυπαίθριους χώρους της Αθηναϊκής πολυκατοικίας υπό το πρίσμα της αρχιτεκτονικής, της αισθητικής του υποκειμένου και των βιωμάτων αυτού , μέσω της περιπλάνησης από κλίμακα σε κλίμακα καθώς παράλληλα αναδεικνύει τις δυνατότητες τους.
Για την κατανόηση των ημιυπαίθριων χώρων εξετάζονται οι Αθηναϊκές πολυκατοικίες, ως προς την τυπολογία, την χρησιμότητα, την κοινωνική τους διάσταση αλλά και τις μεθοριακές συνθήκες που φιλοξενούν. Σε μεγαλύτερο βάθος, εξετάζονται τα μπαλκόνια και οι ταράτσες των πολυκατοικιών της Κυψέλης καθώς γίνεται αναφορά και σε πολυκατοικίες ευρύτερων περιοχών αλλά και χωρών. Τα μπαλκόνια και οι ταράτσες γίνονται αντιληπτά ως αστικά μικρο-τοπία που εμφανίζονται σε πλατφόρμες, ξεπερνώντας τις προσδοκίες και τους σκοπούς για τους οποίους αυτές σχεδιάστηκαν και θα εξεταστούν ως τέτοια. Αναλυτικά με τον όρο “μικρο-τοπία”, γίνεται αναφορά σε τμήματα μιας ευρύτερης δομής που μπορούν να πάρουν πολλαπλές μορφές και να δημιουργήσουν δίπολα. Τέτοιοι χώροι, συχνά με την μορφή περιζήτητων κενών, διαθέτουν την δυνατότητα να “ταράζουν” τα όρια μεταξύ κύριων-δευτερευόντων, δημόσιων-ιδιωτικών χώρων, αλλά και χώρων που παροτρύνουν ή αποθαρρύνουν την οικειοποίηση.
Στόχος της εργασίας αποτελεί η απεμπλοκή αστικών χώρων και τεχνικών εκμετάλλευσης αυτού από τα μέχρι τώρα πρότυπα σχεδίασης και από μη συμπεριληπτικούς τρόπους “επίλυσης” της πολυπλοκότητας της πόλης. Κίνητρο αποτελεί ακόμα η κατάρριψη της αναπαραγωγής στερεοτυπικών θεωρήσεων σχετικά με τους κοινούς, αυτοδιαχειριζόμενους χώρους και επομένως η εμφάνιση μεγάλου εύρους επιλογών για την διαμόρφωση και σταδιακή αναζωογόνηση του αστικού ιστού. Η εκμετάλλευση όλο και περισσότερων εργαλείων σχεδίασης μέσω του συμπεριληπτικού σχεδιασμού, μπορεί εν δυνάμει να δημιουργήσει χώρους που “ελαφραίνουν” την καθημερινότητα των κατοίκων ενός αστικού κέντρου καθώς και να αναδείξει τεχνικές οργάνωσης αυτών, για την μέγιστη αξιοποίηση τους. Σε συνέχεια, επιδιώκεται η προβολή μιας λιγότερο ανθρωποκεντρικής σχεδιαστικής προσέγγισης και εκμετάλλευσης των ημιυπαίθριων χώρων, με προτάσεις επίλυσης της αδράνειας που αποσκοπούν στην ενίσχυση της χλωρίδας και πανίδας της πόλης.

description: Using the published KTeV samples of K_L --> pi^{\pm} e^{\mp} nu and K_L --> pi^{\pm} mu^{\mp} nu decays [1], we perform a reanalysis of the scalar and vector form factors based on the dispersive parameterization [2,3]. We obtain phase space integrals I^e_K = 0.15446 \pm 0.00025 and I^{mu}_K = 0.10219 \pm 0.00025. For the scalar form factor parameterization, the only free parameter is the normalized form factor value at the Callan-Treiman point (C); our best fit results in ln C = 0.1915 \pm 0.0122. We also study the sensitivity of C to different parametrizations of the vector form factor. The results for the phase space integrals and C are then used to make tests of the Standard Model. Finally, we compare our results with lattice QCD calculations of F_K/F_pi and f_+(0).

description: Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography covers the English-language publications on the economics of forestry in the United States and Canada that appeared during the eight years, 1940-1947. It brings up to more recent date a number of earlier compilations that enter the same field, among them A. Z. Nelson's A Selected Bibliography of the Economics of Forestry in the United States (1941) and E. N. Munns' A Selected Bibliography of North American Forestry (1940). The economics of forestry is taken to include value (broadly interpreted) and price aspects of (1) forest and forest-land use and tenure; (2) forest management: for timber, water, forage, wildlife, recreation, or other forest products; (3) industry based directly on forest products; (4) marketing of forest products; and (5) consumption of forest products. Only references dealing largely or pointedly with such matters were considered for inclusion.

description: A theory concerning the emergence and control of chaotic escape from a potential well by means of autoresonant excitations is presented in the context of generic, dissipative, and multistable systems. Universal scaling laws relating both the onset and lifetime of transient chaos with the parameters of autoresonant excitations are derived theoretically using vibrational mechanics, Melnikov analysis, and energy-based autoresonance theory. Numerical experiments show that these scaling laws are robust against both the presence of noise and re-shaping.

CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENTS AND NONCLASSICALITY AS RESOURCES FOR QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES
Creators: name: ALBARELLI, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: This PhD thesis contains results about two different main topics. The first part deals with the application of continuously monitored quantum systems to high precision quantum metrology. A continuous in time measurement on a quantum system is a kind indirect measurement, which only weakly perturbs the system and leaves room for it to evolve under its dynamics. This time-continuous measurement allows one to collect information about some interesting parameter characterizing the dynamics. In this thesis we show how to apply the theory of quantum parameter estimation to continuously monitored quantum systems. In particular, we study the estimation of a magnetic field applied to an ensemble of two level atoms; we show that by continuously monitoring the system we can obtain a quadratic scaling of the precision with the number of atoms, in two different physical settings (dynamically generated entanglement or initial entanglement). In the second part we study different aspects of nonclassicality of continuous variable quantum systems (bosonic degree of freedoms). They can be described by distributions (in particular, the Wigner function) on a classical phase space, which however can take negative values, the hallmark of nonclassicality. In this context, states with a Gaussian distribution are very useful and very well studied; however, on a fundamental level they must be considered classical. We present several studies connected to the vast topic of non-Gaussian states, starting from an application to parameter estimation, as a link to the first part. We study the relationships between anharmonic Hamiltonians and the nonclassicality of their ground states; we also explore the connection between a quantum effect called `backflow of probability' and the negativity of the Wigner function. We end by showing that quantum operations made out of Gaussian building blocks give rise to a well-defined resource theory of Wigner negativity and non-Gaussianity.

description: Interpretation of imagery of the solar chromosphere in the widely used \CaIIIR infrared line is hampered by its complex, three-dimensional and non-LTE formation. Forward modelling is required to aid understanding. We use a 3D non-LTE radiative transfer code to compute synthetic \CaIIIR images from a radiation-MHD simulation of the solar atmosphere spanning from the convection zone to the corona. We compare the simulation with observations obtained with the CRISP filter at the Swedish 1--m Solar Telescope. We find that the simulation reproduces dark patches in the blue line wing caused by Doppler shifts, brightenings in the line core caused by upward-propagating shocks and thin dark elongated structures in the line core that form the interface between upward and downward gas motion in the chromosphere. The synthetic line core is narrower than the observed one, indicating that the sun exhibits both more vigorous large-scale dynamics as well as small scale motions that are not resolved within the simulation, presumably owing to a lack of spatial resolution.

description: In recent urban regeneration projects retail trade has been assuming a central role. It is widely considered an enlivening instrument in urban society both in relation to its repercussion on the economic fabric of the area, and concerning the power to attract flows of people and to foster the creation of a network of relationships. This study aims to examine the underway projects in the old town centre of Piacenza in order to better understand an ongoing partecipated plan related to the urban regeneration of the area. This dissertation analyses methods and results of some projects, as the Town center management (Centro commerciale naturale) ?Vita in Centro a Piacenza? and the requalification of Quartiere Roma. In this way it has been possible to highlight the versatile role that planners assign to retail trade in the urban, economic and relational requalification of the districts of a city.

description: We demonstrate a method of adiabatic population transfer from a single quantum state into a coherent superposition of states. The transfer is executed with femtosecond pulses, spectrally shaped in simple and intuitive manner, which does not require iterative feedback-controlled loops. In contrast to non-adiabatic methods of excitation, our approach is not sensitive to the exact value of laser intensity. We show that the population transfer is complete, and analyze the possibility of controlling the relative phases and amplitudes of the excited eigenstates. We discuss the limitations of the proposed control methods due to the dynamic level shifts and suggest ways of reducing their influence.

description: The dynamics of the non-Abelian vortex-string, which describes its low energy oscillations into the target $D=3+1$ spacetime as well as its orientations in the internal space, is derived by the approach of nonlinear realization. The resulting action correlating these two sectors is found to have an invariant synthesis form of the Nambu-Goto-${\bf C}P^{N-1}$ model actions. Higher order corrections to the vortex actions are presented up to the order of quartic derivatives. General $p$-brane dynamics in terms of the internal symmetry breaking is also discussed.

description: Corpus linguistics provides a scientific approach to understanding language use through large collections of real-world texts. This paper explores the integration of corpus linguistics with short news articles—a genre that has become essential in today's digital communication. By analyzing short news articles within corpora, educators and researchers can extract significant insights into vocabulary acquisition, grammar learning, discourse structures, and translation strategies. The ability to apply corpus-based methods to short news articles presents unique opportunities for language teaching, translation, and developing personalized learning experiences in educational platforms. This paper also addresses challenges and future directions in corpus-based analysis of short news articles.

description: We investigate the time evolution of entanglement in a process where a mobile particle is scattered by static spins. We show that entanglement increases monotonically during a transient and then saturates to a steady-state value. For a quasi-monochromatic mobile particle, the transient time depends only on the group-velocity and width of the incoming wavepacket and is insensitive to the interaction strength and spin-number of the scattering particles. These features do not depend on the interaction model and can be seen in various physical settings.

Novel tools and methods supporting high-throughput screening and metabolic engineering in model and non-model microbial host chassis
Creators: name: Noonan, Avery James Cameron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: There is increasing interest in the industrial use of microorganisms as cell factories to enhance bioproduction with reduced environmental impact. To realize this, new tools are needed that facilitate discovery of novel enzymes, pathways, and strains relevant to sustainable biotechnology innovation, and that promote scalable implementation in real-world contexts. In this thesis I describe establishment of various tools and methods supporting high-throughput screening and metabolic engineering in model and non-model microbial host chassis, with emphasis on E. coli and selected cyanobacteria as promising cell factories. In the process, I developed an all-in-one CRISPR-Cas9 toolkit and CRISPR guide-RNA design workflow and evaluated their potential for targeted gene regulation in E. coli. Using this toolkit, I addressed a limitation to functional metagenomic screening in E. coli EPI300 by, for the first time, using CRISPR-interference to identify genes encoding phenotypes of interest encoded on fosmid clones. I went on to insert a landing pad into the E. coli EPI300 chromosome using the chassis-independent recombinase-assisted genome engineering (CRAGE) system, to support targeted insertion of up to 48 kb of exogenous DNA sequence. I used this system to insert a chromosomal RFP into E. coli EPI300 for use in studying co-culture dynamics, and applied the resulting marked strain to evaluate the behaviour of the PemrR:GFP biosensor used for the recovery of lignin transforming phenotypes from fosmid libraries. In addition to tool and methods development, I participated in characterization of a novel cyanobacterial host chassis, Sodalinema yuhuli AB48, with potential biotechnological application. I explored the multi-omic underpinnings of this potential and placed S. yuhuli AB48 within a modern phylogenetic context needed for pangenome analysis. I then designed, built, and tested a consistent lighting system for microplate-based cultivation of photosynthetic microorganisms, creating new opportunities for media optimization and strain selection with direct application to development of photosynthetic microbial cell factories. Collectively, my work effort led to improved methods for recovering biological parts from environmental genomes, discovery and characterization of a novel photosynthetic microorganism with biotechnological potential, and invention of new platform technologies needed for sustainable biotechnology innovation at the interface of microbial ecology, biological engineering and bioinformatics.

description: The study of rotation-alignment of quasiparticles probes sensitively the properties of high-j intruder orbits. The distribution of very high-j orbits, which are consequences of the fundamental spin-orbit interaction, links with the important question of single-particle levels in superheavy nuclei. With the deformed single-particle states generated by the standard Nilsson potential, we perform Projected-Shell-Model calculations for transfermium nuclei where detailed spectroscopy experiment is currently possible. Specifically, we study the systematical behavior of rotation-alignment and associated band-crossing phenomenon in Cf, Fm, and No isotopes. Neutrons and protons from the high-j orbits are found to compete strongly in rotation-alignment, which gives rise to testable effects. Observation of these effects will provide direct information on the single-particle states in the heaviest nuclear mass region.

description: About 73% of the global population is not, or is only partly, covered by social protection. Particularly across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) social protection coverage is highly heterogeneous. What explains the large differences in the inclusiveness of social protection across LMICs? By analysing 100 LMICs using retirement schemes as an example, this study shows that non-contributory schemes in LMICs are, by far, more inclusive than contributory ones. Surprisingly, democratic institutions characterised by low levels of political corruption only promote the inclusiveness of non-contributory social protection while reducing the coverage of contributory schemes.

description: This paper presents a thermal study of a double-layer encapsulation for an interventional medical device, which operates temporarily inside the human esophagus for cardiac imaging. The surface temperature of test samples, representing the device, was assessed by experiments and numerical simulations. The test samples consisted of a heat source, a heat sink and a double-layer encapsulation consisting of a 3D printed biocompatible polymer (thickness 0.9 mm), with an electroplated Cu inner layer (0, 10, 80 or 150 µm thick). The surface temperature of test samples was measured in a tissue-mimicking thermal phantom at 37°C, with different heat source power levels. Experimental results showed that the maximum steady-state surface temperature could be reduced significantly by a 10 µm thick Cu layer (compared to no Cu layer). Increasing the Cu layer thickness further had a rather small effect, at least for low power levels. The maximum steady-state surface temperature was an exponential function of the Cu layer thickness. Test samples with a Cu electroplated polymer encapsulation and a heat source power of 0.5 W satisfied the maximum temperature limit for thermal safety (43°C) when the Cu layer was thicker than about 80 µm. Simulated surface temperatures were in good agreement with experimental values, for a model using two different thermal contact conductance coefficients (for different materials) for the sample-phantom boundary condition. The simulation model was also used to suggest alternative materials for the outer layer of an encapsulation with a metal inner layer, for reducing the surface temperature.

description: The KLOE experiment at the upgraded DAFNE e+e- collider in Frascati (KLOE-2) is going to start a new data taking at the beginning of 2010 with its detector upgraded with a tagging system for the identification of gamma-gamma interactions. The tagging stations for low-energy e+e- will consist in two calorimeters The calorimeter used to detect low-energy e+e- will be placed between the beam-pipe outer support structure and the inner wall of the KLOE drift chamber. This calorimeter will be made of LYSO crystals readout by Silicon Photomultipliers, to achieve an energy resolution better than 8% at 200 MeV.

description: This paper is concerned with some nonlinear propagation phenomena for reaction-advection-diffusion equations in a periodic framework. It deals with travelling wave solutions of the equation $$u_t =\nabla\cdot(A(z)\nabla u) +q(z)\cdot\nabla u+ f(z,u), t \in \mathbb{R}, z \in Ω,$$ propagating with a speed $c.$ In the case of a "combustion" nonlinearity, the speed $c$ exists and it is unique, while the front $u$ is unique up to a translation in $t.$ We give a $\min-\max$ and a $\max-\min$ formula for this speed $c.$ On the other hand, in the case of a "ZFK" or a "KPP" nonlinearity, there exists a minimal speed of propagation $c^{*}.$ In this situation, we give a $\min-\max$ formula for $c^{*}.$ Finally, we apply this $\min-\max$ formula to prove a variational formula involving eigenvalue problems for the minimal speed $c^{*}$ in the "KPP" case.

description: We report the first results of a study of variable point sources identified using multi-color time-series photometry from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 over a span of nearly 10 years (1998-2007). We construct a light-curve catalog of 221,842 point sources in the R.A. 0-4 h half of Stripe 82, limited to r = 22.0, that have at least 10 detections in the ugriz bands and color errors of < 0.2 mag. These objects are then classified by color and by cross-matching them to existing SDSS catalogs of interesting objects. We use inhomogeneous ensemble differential photometry techniques to greatly improve our sensitivity to variability. Robust variable identification methods are used to extract 6520 variable candidates in this dataset, resulting in an overall variable fraction of ~2.9% at the level of 0.05 mag variability. A search for periodic variables results in the identification of 30 eclipsing/ellipsoidal binary candidates, 55 RR Lyrae, and 16 Delta Scuti variables. We also identify 2704 variable quasars matched to the SDSS Quasar catalog (Schneider et al. 2007), as well as an additional 2403 quasar candidates identified by their non-stellar colors and variability properties. Finally, a sample of 11,328 point sources that appear to be nonvariable at the limits of our sensitivity is also discussed. (Abridged.)

description: Two blue compact dwarf galaxies Mkn 104 and I Zw 97 are studied photometrically and spectroscopically. Mkn 104 is found to contain three distinct bright star forming regions, whereas I Zw 97 is found to contain three bright and two faint star forming regions. Medium resolution spectra of three bright HII regions in the two galaxies were obtained. Estimation of oxygen abundance in these regions yields a value equal to log(O/H)+12 = 8.5 (Z=Z_sun/2.7). Star formation rates in these star forming regions are estimated. The highest star formation rate for I Zw 97 is found to be 0.04 M_sun/yr and for Mkn 104, it is 0.02 M_sun/yr. A U-B vs V-I colour-colour mixed population model is created using the Starburst99 evolutionary model curves. The spectrum of the bright star forming knot of I Zw 97 does not show any strong signature of an underlying relatively older stellar population, but the U-B vs V-I two colour diagram indicates a strong contribution of a ~500 Myr population. The age of the underlying population of Mkn 104 using the U-B vs V-I two colour diagram is estimated to be ~500 Myr. The surface brightness profile of both the galaxies can be represented well by a two-component Sersic profile consisting of a near exponential distribution and a Gaussian nuclear starburst. I Zw 97 is a cometary blue compact dwarf galaxy where the underlying low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy is a dwarf irregular observed during a major stochastic enhancement of its otherwise moderate star formation activity. Both these galaxies are very similar in their stellar content, showing an older 4 Gyr population, an intermediate 500 Myr population and the current burst of star formation of age 5-13 Myr.

description: There are several causes of conflict between big cats, specifically jaguar (Panthera onca) and puma (Puma concolor), and humans, one of them being cattle predation. These causes depend on local circumstances and sociocultural beliefs, which need to be understood in order to create solutions that both reduce the community members’ fear towards big cats and allow the conservation of these species. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to identify the determinant factors of conflict between big cats and humans in tow natural protected areas. The study was carried out in the “Sierra del Abra Tanchipa” biosphere reserve, in San Luis Potosi State, and in “Los Mármoles” national park, in Hidalgo State, both of which have previous reports of presence of jaguars and pumas. The data was obtained through face-to-face surveys. The results were put through a descriptive and an exploratory factor analysis to determine the main factors of conflict by locality. Predation on domestic animals and the sensation of fear or dread to encounters with big cats were the main variables that stood out. It is important to do conflict detection in all natural protected areas to understand the factors that originate conflicts. These type of study can be applicable in whichever situation that involves the presence of great carnivores.

description: We study the impact of geometry on magnetostatically frustrated single-domain nanomagnet arrays. We examine square and hexagonal lattice arrays, as well as a brickwork geometry that combines the anisotropy of the square lattice and the topology of the hexagonal lattice. We find that the more highly frustrated hexagonal lattice allows for the most thorough minimization of the magnetostatic energy, and that the pair-wise correlations between moments differ qualitatively between hexagonal and brickwork lattices, although they share the same lattice topology. The results indicate that the symmetry of local interaction is more important than overall lattice topology in the accommodation of frustrated interactions.

Cultural equity and dignity for racialized visible minorities in Canada : experiences, opportunities and planning strategies in settler-colonial Vancouver
Creators: name: Silva, Wellage Chandima
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The dominant presence of white Eurocentric culture in Canada and its urban spaces perpetuates colonial power dynamics while hindering cultural equity and denying human dignity to Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants, and racialized visible minority populations. This research project, designed as a mixed-methods analysis, aims to explore the potential of urban cultural spaces to facilitate cultural equity or human dignity for racialized visible minorities in Vancouver. The study investigates the experiences of racialized Canadian immigrants and their encounters with exclusion and marginalisation in urban cultural spaces, using evocative autoethnography and conversational interviewing. Engaging Fanon and Coulthard's work on the colonial politics of recognition, this study examines how ethnic minority expression and creation in the urban form as a praxis of self-recognition can advance cultural equity in solidarity with Indigenous Land-Back movements. It engages in conversational interviews and reflexive notes from recent immigrant cultural productions (Buto-Buto and Piña). Building on the insights gained from exploring cultural production and activism by racialized visible minorities, notes from visits to cultural centres in Metro Vancouver, data analysis of open data, it examines the City of Vancouver's Culture Plan 2020-29 and its potential to promote cultural equity for racialized visible minorities and the limitations of such approaches. This study advocates a transformative approach to planning in Canada, emphasizing the transcultural placemaking potential of diverse groups for equitable urban spaces and democratic outcomes. It hopes to inform the development of strategies and policies to promote cultural equity for racialized visible minorities in urban spaces.
