description: In this scientific work, the theoretical foundations of the position of energy lands are considered, as well as the features of the legal mechanism for their provision, use and protection are analyzed. The fundamentals of the regulatory and legal regulation of the legal regime of energy lands were investigated. In the course of the work, an analysis of judicial (arbitration) practice on disputes related to the legal regime of energy lands was carried out. Based on the conducted research, the regulatory framework in the field of implementation of the legal regime of energy lands was analyzed, as well as some aspects of its improvement were highlighted.
Language, networks, and identity among minority Francophones

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: Acculturation is a process of cultural change resulting from two or more groups coming into contact (Berry, 1990). Research has shown that, among minority group members, there is a tendency to adopt outgroup attributes at the expense of ingroup cultural elements (Berry & Sam, 1997; Phinney, Lochner, & Murphey, 1990). Yet studies have also documented the occurrence of cultural revitalization and biculturalism (Benet-Martinez, Len, Lee, & Morris, 2002; LaFromboise, Coleman, & Gerton, 1993). While both phenomena have been studied, if and by what mechanism they occur within a group still remains to be understood. Thus, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate the factors contributing to cultural maintenance under adverse pressures from the outgroup among a minority Francophone population. The first study explored the relationship between intergroup contact, social support, linguistic confidence, identity, and adjustment through a mediational model. As predicted, the importance of contact, social support and language confidence for shaping experienced identity and adjustment was supported. Even though English confidence supported the adoption of the Anglophone identity (i.e., subtractive trends), there were also additive benefits resulting from Francophone involvement and social support for identity maintenance and well-being. In the second study, the components of social interactions and communication were further investigated to delve into the social processes affecting identity maintenance. The results indicated that social interactions through communication networks and social support with both the in- and outgroup was important for identity maintenance, adoption, and adjustment.
The demographic, mental health and offending characteristics of online child pornography offenders: a comparison with contact-only and dual sexual offenders
Creators: name: Henshaw, Marie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This data linkage research examined the demographic, mental health, and offending characteristics of a large cohort of Australian child pornography offenders (CPOs), in comparison to both child contact and dual sexual offenders (those with a history of both offence types). Results supported prior characterisations of CPOs as a distinct type of sexual offender who are primarily defined by low levels of antisocial behaviour and high levels of sexual deviance. Outcomes suggest that traditional criminal justice and therapeutic responses to sexual offending may not adequately address the risk management needs of CPOs, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Development of pervaporation membrane for volatile organic chemical removal.
Creators: name: Mahmud, Hassan.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Pervaporation is a membrane based process which overcomes many of the deficiencies of current technologies for the removal/recovery of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from aqueous streams. In this process, VOCs from a liquid stream are driven across a permselective membrane and exit as a vapor due to the vacuum maintained in the downstream side of the membrane. Proven hydrophobic membranes used for pervaporation today suffer from limitations of mechanical stability, while membranes with superior mechanical characteristics do not possess sufficient selectivity to be useful for these applications. To overcome these limitations surface modifying macromolecules (SMMs) have been used as additives in the preparation of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes, which inherently have good mechanical characteristics but are intrinsically hydrophilic. This approach produced membranes with high hydrophobicity (based on contact angles), which were expected to be permselective to VOCs, like chloroform. This thesis investigates the impact of PES/SMM membrane preparation parameters on the reported separation of chloroform from aqueous solutions via pervaporation. These parameters include polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) addition levels, solution mixing period, solution age and membrane age. A chemical analysis of the permeate revealed that the permeate contained ethanol but virtually no chloroform. Permeate ethanol concentrations were higher with fresh membranes and decreased both with membrane age and period of use. This indicates that ethanol which was used during the solvent exchange drying step of membrane preparation, was being leached from the membrane. It was concluded that there was in fact no enrichment of chloroform in the permeate as reported earlier and that the surface hydrophobicity introduced was insufficient to dominate over the intrinsic bulk hydrophilic characteristics of the PES membranes. These findings indicate a need to reevaluate the levels of SMM addition and the process parameters to develop a sufficiently dominant hydrophobic surface layer.

Community intervention programs for acute ischemic stroke: Assessment by Markov model
Creators: name: Sharma, M
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.

description: Stroke is a common illness with significant morbidity and mortality. Thrombolysis is the only approved therapy for ischemic stroke. Current protocols utilize a three hour time window from symptom onset for treatment eligibility. Public education campaigns regarding the symptoms of stroke have been advocated as a means to increase the treatment rates. A Markov model was constructed to simulate the experience of a population at risk for stroke. The probabilities of clinical events and health state utilities were extracted from the literature or estimated. Systematic reviews of community interventions in stroke and chest pain were performed. Base case analysis suggests that community intervention is the preferred strategy. The preference was robust in the face of multiple sensitivity analyses. A small incremental gain of 56 minutes was noted in life expectancy with a gain of 69 minutes in quality-adjusted life expectancy and 56 minutes in discounted quality-adjusted life expectancy.

description: Ce texte se veut une reflexion sociologique sur la quete et la reconnaissance de l'identite politique et culturelle de deux peuples: les Autochtones et les Quebecois-es. Nous croyons qu'en cette fin de siecle ces deux peuples ont atteint la maturite politique necessaire a la negociation de compromis selon la theorie de l'agir communicationel de Jurgen Habermas. Les entites culturelles engagees dans ce type d'agir pourraient assurer la reconnaissance de leur identite dans l'histoire. Ainsi il nous a semble que la crise autochtone au Quebec avait montre que les peuples concernes etaient capables de l'agir communicationnel. Une analyse de contenu de La Presse et du Devoir pendant cette courte periode historique nous a permis de situer les Autochtones et les Quebecois-es dans un monde vecu partage.
Re-Imagining Transitional Justice in the United States: Truth-Telling & Reconstruction

description: The Joint Select Committee Hearings on the Condition of Affairs in the Late Insurrectionary States (sometimes referred to as the Klan hearings but hereafter known as the Joint Committee hearings) during Reconstruction can be considered as part of a greater process for transitional justice. Transitional justice is defined as the formal initiatives a society undertakes to redress massive human rights abuses after a period of conflict. The Committee Hearings—analyzed through the framework of a truth-seeking and truth-telling process—provides insight on how the federal government was addressing the violence and violations caused by the Klan during a period of reconstruction and transition. New conceptions of peace burgeoned as the government, and the survivors of the outrages grappled with these extralegal violences. Many black southerners testified to further force the federal government to hold true to their responsibility to protect their rights and freedoms. From their testimonies, the lasting physical, economic, and psychological ramifications can be demonstrated and the importance of witnessing comes to light. This thesis serves as a foray into understanding past mechanisms of redress to racial injustice in the United States (Chapter 1). More importantly, by centering black witnessing (Chapters 2 and 3), it argues that no attempt at transitional justice in the United States could be complete without understanding black testimonies detailing the racial oppression that made Reconstruction an unfinished revolution.
Pulsatile flow in a conical tube.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The present study of pulsatile flow in a conical tube, although fundamental in nature, may be used to determine blood flow characteristics in cannulae. For the experimental study, a transparent conical tube was connected to a mock circulation loop. Pulsatile flow was supplied by a pump ("artificial heart"), with controlled "pulse rate" and systolic time period ratio. Tests include flow visualization, pressure measurement with miniature piezo-resistive pressure transducers and velocity measurement with a two-component, frequency shifted, fibre optic, laser Doppler velocimeter. Flow visualization has revealed the formation of a high speed jet in the core of the conical tube during "diastole" as well as the appearance of separated and recirculating regions near the inclined wall. The formation of weak backflow ("regurgitation") was also observed during "systole", especially immediately upstream of the valve. Pressure variation in the tube was fairly complex, containing substantial fluctuations that are caused by the opening and closing of the valve. Measurements of the axial velocity along the centerline of the test section demonstrate an emerging downstream asymmetry of the "active" part of the velocity cycle, which is a clear indication of separation and recirculation in the conical tube. A large set of measurements have been analyzed in order to describe the detailed flow pattern during the cycle. Reverse flow took place at both the conical and the straight sections of the tube. However, in the conical section, the flow shows more unsteady and complex variation during the cycle. Also, the reverse flow near the wall region in the conical section occurred earlier in the diastolic phase, which is a clear indication of separation caused by the expansion.

description: Étant une transformation difficile, l'hydroamination d'alcènes et d'alcynes inactives n'a encore aujourd'hui pas été développée à son plein potentiel. Cette thèse se penche donc sur l'exploration de l'hydroamination de type Cope. Cette approche concertée est conceptuellement différente et potentiellement générale, pouvant être appliquée aux alcènes et aux alcynes (équation 1).* De la nouvelle réactivité sur la version intermoléculaire a été decouverte entre des alcynes 4 et de l'hydroxylamine aqueuse et est présentée dans le deuxième chapitre de cette thèse (équation 2). Également pour la première fois, l'importance de l'étape du transfert de proton (t.p.) sur la réactivité d'hydroamination intermoléculaire de type Cope a été observée et etudiée avec des résultats expérimentaux, et a été appuyée par des calculs théoriques (DFT). Dans le troisième chapitre, ces nouvelles connaissances acquises sur la réactivité intermoléculaire ont été extrapolées à la réactivité intramoléculaire. La (+/-)-2-epi-pumiliotoxine C a été synthétisée via une étape cle d'hydroamination intramoléculaire de type Cope sur un alcène (équation 3), sous de nouvelles conditions permettant de faciliter le transfert de proton. C'est le premier exemple difficile d'hydroamination de type Cope qui a été accompli en formant un cycle à six membres à partir d'un alcène substitué en sa position terminale. *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.
Isolation and Characterization of Tumor Derived Microvesicles

description: Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as an important component of cancer progression and survival. Tumor-derived EVs have been shown to promote angiogenesis, metastasis, and suppress immune cells both locally and systemically. Microvesicles (MVs) are a subset of EVs that originate from plasma membranes and are 100-1,000nm in diameter. Exosomes are a smaller subset of EVs, 30–150nm in diameter, that originate from the endocytic compartment of their parent cells. In the current study, the molecular cargos and functions of MVs isolated from supernatants of head and neck cancer (HNC) cell lines, PCI13 and SCC-47, were evaluated and compared with exosomes isolated from the same cell lines using mini size-exclusion chromatography. MVs were isolated from the pellet that forms during differential centrifugation. Immunomodulatory molecules (TGF?-1, PD-L1 and Fas-L) were carried by HNC exosomes but were minimally expressed by MVs. MVs co-incubated with Jurkat cells induced apoptosis but at lower level compared to exosomes. Our data shows that tumor derived exosomes and MVs differ in their protein cargo and biologic activity.
The structure of associative memory in creative children.
Creators: name: Boyko, Kelly A.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Developmental.

description: Theorists operating in the associationist tradition have consistently maintained that creative thinking involves the ability to generate remote associations. It has been inferred that this ability requires a particular kind of associative memory structure, one which is characterized by many between-configuration links and many weak within-configuration links. However, there has been a paucity of studies examining the associative memory structures of creative individuals. Still, considerable effort has been devoted in the developmental literature to delineating various types of organizational structures in children's memories. Consequently, this research explored how associational processes operate in children vis-a-vis their memory structures. As well, an attempt was made to replicate part of a frequently-cited developmental shift from children's use of themes and categories to their use of categories as organizational structures on memory tasks. A series of three studies, each employing different memory tasks, were conducted to examine differences in the associative memory structures of more creative and less creative children in grades 3 and 7. Stimulus words used for the experimental tasks comprised three configural dimensions: within category, within theme, and between category and theme. The expected developmental shift towards increased category usage with age was partially replicated on a sorting task; Grade 3 children used more associations than Grade 7 children, and Grade 7 children used more categories than Grade 3 children. Results obtained on two receptive memory tasks (i.e., associability-rating and association-decision) indicated that the associative memory structures of more creative versus less creative children, as well as older versus younger children, appear to be characterized by many strong within-category associative links, fewer and weaker within-theme associative links, and very few and weak between-category-and-theme associative links. Yet, results obtained on one productive memory task (i.e., recall) revealed that both older more creative children and younger children tend to retain the use of weak between-category-and-theme associative links, whereas older less creative children relinquish these over time. These results suggest that the creative individual's continued ability to access weak between-configuration links from memory accounts in part for his/her ability to generate remote associations. As well, it appears that this ability to generate remote associations occurs not during the encoding stage but during retrieval. This coincides with recent developments in the computational modelling of creative thinking processes. Such developments highlight the creative individual's selection of viable associations among ideas, rather than the generation of associations among ideas per se.

description: In the field of peptide assemblies, there have been a lot of attempts to form and explore the various assemblies, composed of not only natural peptides but also peptide derivatives. While the earlier efforts focused on the morphologies of the assemblies; recently, the attentions to the novel functions derived from the assemblies and the processes of assembling has increased significantly, which leads to the exploration of new applications. For my thesis work, I designed and synthesized small molecules that formed supramolecular assemblies. There are five chapters in the dissertation. Chapter 1 gives a comprehensive review on supramolecular peptide assemblies of peptides or peptide derivatives, which have emerged as one of most active research areas in supramolecular chemistry and soft matter. Chapter 2 describes a supramolecular approach for controlling cellular processes and provides insights for mimicking chaperones and controlling protein−protein interactions. Chapter 3 demonstrates a new type of tryptophan-rich short peptides, which act as hydrogelators, form supramolecular assemblies via enzymatic dephosphorylation, and exhibit cell compatibility. Chapter 4 reports that the use of an enzymatic reaction to cleave the branch off branched peptides for inducing the morphological transition of the assemblies of the peptides. Chapter 5 focuses on conclusive summary on supramolecular peptide assemblies and their applications as well as their future outlooks.

description: Between the election of Donald Trump, Britain’s disengagement from the European Union and the resurgence of nationalist parties in Europe, the old Western political order finds itself threatened by a curious combination of establishment figures gone rogue and broad-based public discontent. Cory Bernardi is betting that Australia is experiencing the same trends to the same extent – and, equally speculatively, that he is the figure to tap into that mood.
In some ways Australia was ahead of the curve. Pauline Hanson has been riding a wave of dissatisfaction for twenty years now, more than a lifetime in political terms, and the Howard-era culture wars were a transparent attempt to curry electoral favour by opposing the government to an imagined “elite” who could wear the blame for society’s ills. More recently, both Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott rode anti-politics into (and back out of) power, and we now enjoy a Senate populated by a colourful collection of minor parties, all claiming to represent the disenfranchised and dispossessed.
Impact of engineering modelling assumptions on assessing the seismic performance of Montgomery Block building.

description: This study focuses on the Montgomery Block building, built in 1853 and which survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake of magnitude 8.3 despite being roughly 15 km from the ruptured San Andreas fault (Freeman 1932). After a review of the existing literature on the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry structures, a summary of the lessons to be learned and an identification of the areas that require further research is presented. Then, an assessment of the range of predicted seismic capacities as estimated from traditional and conservative methods to the most liberal ones for the selected Montgomery building is conducted. Finally, a comparison of these capacities is performed to illustrate the impact of structural engineering modelling decisions on the predicted seismic performance of URM buildings. From this study, it is clear that depending on the structural model selected by the engineer, considerable differences of nearly an order of magnitude in some cases may exist in the seismic performance assessments of URM buildings.

description: Dans le domaine de la pedagogie sportive un interet particulier a ete accorde aux etudes portant sur les variables du paradigme "processus-produit" telles que les retroactions et les strategies de renforcement emises par les entrai neurs dans des situations d'entrai nement et de competition. Des etudes recentes, utilisant des approches inductives ont fait cependant ressortir certaines perceptions qu'ont les entrai neurs nord-americains de certaines connaissances reliees au processus de coaching. Ces etudes, ont souvent ete restreintes a une population culturellement et geopolitiquement homogene. Toutefois, bien qu'elles aient fourni d'importantes informations sur certains aspects du processus de coaching, aucune etude ne s'est, jusqu'a present, interessee a examiner de tels aspects dans une perspective comparative, voire internationale. La presente etude se situe dans cette perspective. Elle a pour objectifs (a) de comparer et d'analyser les similitudes et les differences relatives aux perceptions qu'ont des entrai neur(e)s internationaux d'origine allemande (N = 17), bresilienne (N = 6), canadienne (N = 12), chinoise (N = 12), et russe (N = 16), des differents types de connaissances reliees au processus d'entrai nement en gymnastique et (b) d'examiner si ces perceptions presentent des similitudes ou des differences selon le sexe des entrai neurs. Les resultats des comparaisons selon la nationalite des entrai neurs ont revele une homogeneite des perceptions des entrai neur(e)s a l'egard de certaines connaissances d'ordre declaratif et theorique se rapportant aux determinants de la performance gymnique. En revanche, les connaissances d'ordre metacognitif, contextuel, relationnel, professionnel et personnel et de type procedural relatifs aux strategies utilisees en coaching se sont revelees comme des facteurs susceptibles de discriminer entre les entrai neurs du haut de l'echelle du classement mondial (e.g., Chinois et Russes) par rapport a ceux du bas de l'echelle (e.g., Allemands, Bresiliens et Canadiens). Les resultats permettent de constater que les styles du coaching adoptes par les entrai neurs internationaux refletent les traits, les valeurs voire l'ideologie de leur pays respectif. Les resultats des comparaisons selon le sexe des entrai neurs ont revele deux importants aspects: le premier aspect consiste a depeindre les prejuges et les stereotypes sexistes et a demontrer que les femmes entrai neures au niveau international disposent des memes qualifications et competences professionnelles que leurs collegues masculins. Le deuxieme aspect refere a la sous-representation de la femme dans le domaine du coaching de haut niveau. Les seules differences notees entre les entrai neurs des deux sexes se situent au niveau du style de coaching et au niveau psychologique, notamment lors de la competition.

Directors' fiduciary duties to shareholders.

Subjects: subject: Law.

description: Since the 1902 decision of Percival v. $Wright\sp1,$ Canadian common law has provided that directors generally have no fiduciary duties to shareholders. Shareholders have continued to assert that directors have such duties, however. Moreover, shareholders have been attracted by the allure of the rigorously restitutionary remedies imposed on fiduciaries. Cases in which share holders have made claims of fiduciary duty against directors since the law reforms of the 1960s and 1970s are examined. The law reformers expected that the courts would develop the law of fiduciary relations within the corporation. Moreover, the nature of securities law reforms confronted the courts with the previously noted gulf between the statutory fiduciary obligations imposed on directors and insiders of widely-held corporations and the lack of such obligations in private companies. This review of judicial decisions begins with an examination of the compulsory acquisition cases which preceded the statutory take-over bid reforms. These cases arise from facts which would constitute take-over bids under the statutory reforms of the 1960s. In these cases, we see a very limited attempt by the judiciary to impose fiduciary obligations of good faith and candour in favour of minority shareholders. The courts' sense of commercial morality seems to have been stirred in these cases, a morality engendered by the arbitrary expropriation permitted by the statutory compulsory acquisition provisions. An examination of latter day cases involving claims of fiduciary duty show that the decisions are sprinkled with references to commercial morality. Despite this moral impetus, the courts seem unwilling to venture beyond the perceived constraints of the corporations statutes. This unwillingness, coupled with the courts' inability to articulate a uniform rationale for imposing fiduciary duties on directors in favour of shareholders contribute to the unsatisfactory state of the law.

We present design rules for multilevel coded modulations through the asymptotic coding gain, the minimum Hamming distance of the code and with information theory arguments. Computer simulations have been run to confirm the validity of the design rules and to determine the impact of the interleaver size on the performance of a coded modulation scheme. A new construction for multilevel coded modulation with parallel concatenation is suggested. Computer simulations have confirmed the efficiency of this new technique. Product codes are also considered: code construction and iterative decoding algorithms are studied. We focus on the two-dimensional (24, 12) Golay product code and find its performances on AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels through computer simulations. Three rate coding systems for the mobile satellite channel are presented. A performance criterion for speech transmission with such systems have been determined. Adaptive rate techniques can save up to 5.0 dB and 8.8 dB (depending on the type of environment) in terms of transmitted power.

DNA Repair

description: Double strand breaks (DSBs) can occur in the genome from regular cellular processes and environmental, clastogenic agents. Failure and error in repairing DSBs results in genome instability, which can lead to cancer or cell death. Thus, our understanding of DNA repair is intertwined with our understanding of cancer, current therapeutic agents, and gene therapy. There are two major categories of DNA repair: homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). The focus of the first half of this thesis is a subtype of homologous recombination repair known as Single Strand Annealing (SSA). SSA is a repair pathway which occurs when a DSB is produced between repeats. In humans, short interspersed repeated sequences (SINES) and long interspersed repeated sequences (LINES), constitute at least 40% of genome (Liddell et al., 2011). To mimic human SSA repair, the Haber laboratory designed yeast (S. cerevisiae) strains that carry two 205-bp URA3 sequences separated by a 2.3kb phage lambda DNA fragment, in which a site-specific DSB can be created. To study mismatch repair (MMR) during SSA, a second yeast strain was created to have 7 mismatches (6 base-pair substitutions and 1-bp insertion/deletion), resulting in a 3% divergence between the repeats.
description: The product of SSA repair is a single copy of one of the two repeats. Thus, SSA is a highly mutagenic repair pathway. My research confirms that that the helicase Sgs1 decreases SSA by two fold, most likely through a process called heteroduplex rejection (Sugawara et al., 2004). Through sequence analysis of the repaired SSA product, I show that the left fragment is favored during MMR and that heteroduplex rejection and mismatch correction in SSA is mediated by the non-homologous tail.

description: Central pattern generators (CPGs) are ubiquitous in biology and create the rhythmic motor patterns that allow animals to walk, fly, run, chew, breathe, digest, swim, hop, swallow, crawl and more. Thus, these neuronal circuits must function reliably over an animal’s lifetime. Furthermore, both theoretical and experimental evidence suggest that robust networks with similar activity patterns can ha¬ve widely variable underlying cell intrinsic and synaptic conductances. This thesis explores how diverse neuronal circuits respond and adapt to global perturbation. To address these questions, I studied the pyloric CPG of the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab Cancer borealis, a well-defined motor circuit with predictable behavioral outputs and can be easily recorded from in vitro. Pyloric neurons rapidly adapt when perturbed by elevated extracellular potassium. Moreover, the changes in circuit robustness are maintained after the perturbation is removed; pyloric neurons are more robust to subsequent potassium perturbations even after several hours of wash. Despite these long-term changes in circuit robustness, we observe no differences in neuronal activity under control conditions. These studies indicate that individual pyloric rhythms can adapt to global perturbation while maintaining rhythmic outputs. I also observed longer-term shifts in population resilience. Pyloric circuit robustness to high potassium saline, but not acute temperature, shifts depending on the month in which experiments were performed. Disconcertingly, in 2021 we recorded pyloric rhythms with extremely high temperature tolerances. Compared to crabs from five years earlier, we found that recent crabs were significantly more robust to extreme temperatures. Based on local sea temperatures, we believe this trend may be due to long-term acclimation to warmer sea temperatures resulting from climate change. Again, we observed no differences in control activity that predicted an animal’s temperature sensitivity. Therefore, within-species and within-animal changes in neuronal states can be hidden under normal conditions and may only be revealed by extreme perturbation.

description: About half of people who take antidepressants do not respond and many experience adverse effects. These detrimental outcomes are in part a result of the impact of an individual's genetic profile on pharmacokinetics and pharmcodynamics. If known and made available to clinicians, this could improve decision-making and antidepressant therapy outcomes. This has spurred the development of numerous pharmacogenetic-based decision support tools. In this article, we provide an overview of pharmacogenetic decision support tools, with particular focus on tools relevant to antidepressants. We briefly describe the evolution and current state of antidepressant pharmacogenetic decision support tools in clinical practice, followed by the evidence-base for their use. Finally, we present a series of considerations for clinicians contemplating use of these tools and discuss the future of antidepressant pharmacogenetic decision support tools.

description: Bladder cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed neoplasm of the urinary tract. Effects of physical activity and body fat mass on risk of bladder cancer are not well studied. Physical activity and/or body weight may exert their effects on bladder cancer risk through hormonal, immune, or yet other unknown causal pathways. This thesis, using a case-control study design, investigated the association between recreational physical activity, relative body weight (BMI), and risk of bladder cancer in men and women separately. The analysis was based on a portion of the National Enhanced Cancer Surveillance System dataset. The self-reported data had been collected from bladder cancer cases and population controls during 1994--1997 in seven Canadian Provinces. The analyzed samples were 2,312 males (670 cases and 1,642 controls) and 1,824 women (359 cases and 1,465 controls). In men and women, the adjusted ORs (highest vs. lowest quartile) for physical activity were 1.24 (95% CI: 0.93, 1.66) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.52, 1.21), respectively. The corresponding ORs for BMI were 1.29 (95% CI: 0.96, 1.72) and 1.07 (95% CI: 0.74, 1.55), respectively. This study found that parous women were at reduced risk of bladder cancer compared to nulliparous women (OR = 0.56. 95% confidence interval: 0.39, 0.80). In agreement with other studies, certain occupations and cigarette smoking were associated with increased risk of bladder cancer. In men, but not in women, coffee consumption was associated with a slightly increased risk of bladder cancer (≥1 cup per day vs. never: OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.68). There was not enough evidence in this study to conclude that recreational physical activity and BMI were related to risk of bladder cancer.
Pesticide use and avian diversity in California

description: Farmland bird species are known to be declining. In Europe, studies conducted at the farm-level have attributed this decline in abundance, at least partly, to agricultural practices including pesticide use. In North America, few studies have attempted to investigate the relationship between pesticide use and bird abundance and richness. Lack of sufficiently comprehensive pesticide data often limits rigorous testing of hypotheses. I therefore used the best available records of pesticide use and bird distributions: those in California. I calculated estimates of area treated with pesticides and insecticide direct toxicity. I related these to the spatial and temporal variation in bird species richness and abundance (from the Breeding Bird Survey) over a ten-year period in 5.0 km2 plots distributed over the Central Valley of California. I found that the relationships between bird species richness and abundance and pesticide use are weak, albeit borderline significant. I suggest that, if pesticide use actually does affect breeding bird abundance, it must be at much broader spatial scales than used in this study.

description: Cette thèse tente de fournir de nouvelles avenues pour interpréter les figures féminines scandinaves d'avant l'an mil. L'étude décrit en premier lieu les images et leur contexte archéologique, culturel, social, politique et religieux pour ensuite les interpréter à la lumière des textes qui nous sont parvenus: l'Edda de Snorri Sturluson, l'Edda poétique, le Gragas et quelques sagas. Après avoir analysé le pendentif en forme de femme, trouve à Aska (Suède), l'étude se penche sur le cas des "valkyries" et, enfin, sur celui des guldgubber à figures féminines et à figures doubles (couples). Alors que l'image du pendentif d'Aska peut être identifiee a Freyja sans aucune ambiguïté, le cas des "valkyries" et des guldgubber est plus complexe, dépendant probablement en grande partie des propriétaires originaux des artéfacts en question.
Developing novel micro-structured biodegradable hollow fiber channels for functional recovery after spinal cord injuries

description: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating clinical condition that affects approximately 2.5 million patients across the world with 130,000 new injures being reported each year. Advances in research have provided better understanding of the complex pathophysiology after spinal cord injury, but so far no effective treatment has been able to provide functional recovery. Utilizing principles of tissue engineering, incorporation of a tubular implant at site of injury has gained considerable attention in recent years. The mechanical strength of the tubular implant, proposed for incorporation at site of injury, is very important for efficacy of the implant. In this project we have fabricated different types of hollow fiber channels (HFCs) with a porous morphology using dip-coating and sub-critical CO2 process. The HFCs have been characterized, their mechanical properties have been tested in vitro and their degradation behaviour over time has been analyzed. Among the different types of HFCs tested for mechanical properties, single layered, double layered and reverse porosity, presence of porosity gradient and its orientation plays an important role towards establishing the mechanical strength of the HFC. The porosity gradient results from the difference in pore sizes between the inner and the outer layer of the HFC. During our study we were able to satisfy two crucial parameters regarding the mechanical strength of the HFC. Firstly, it is important for the HFC to match its mechanical strength with that of spinal cord tissue and secondly, the ability of the HFC to possess optimal weight to avoid damage to the already injured tissue. Thus we were able to fabricate a tubular implant that has desired mechanical properties to be used after SCI.

Black-Jewish Relations Boston

description: Explores the role of religious and cultural space in the formation, maintenance and dissolution of relationships between Blacks and Jews in Boston by examining the transfer of Temple Mishkan Tefila, a Conservative Jewish Synagogue, to Elma Ina Lewis, a Black Arts educator for the purposes of transforming it into an arts school in 1968. This research was based on archival findings, and made use of collections held at the American Jewish Historical Society in Boston, MA and the Elma Ina Lewis Papers at Northeastern University. It demonstrates how space can serve as a site of integration and contestation. Additionally, this study considers the role of gender and how it shaped relationships between Blacks and Jews, particularly the actions of Elma Lewis and her engagement with the leaders of the Jewish community during this time.
