A school-based community kitchens program as a strategy for providing food and nutrition-related and psychosocial benefits to inner city families
Creators: name: Milligan, Carol Dawne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Problem: Inner city school families are vulnerable to poor nutrition. This study was conducted in inner city schools to address the following research questions: What perceived benefits, in the areas of food, nutrition and psychosocial well-being, can small, school/community-based health promotion programs provide? How do such programs operate – what are their goals, strategies and challenges? How can their perceived benefits be interpreted in terms of health promotion theory? Methods: A qualitative, responsive evaluation approach was used to examine a community kitchens program, “Cooking Fun for Families,” in eight elementary schools in Vancouver, Canada, over a two-year period (2001-2003). All programs served adults; some also included children. Data consisted of program observations (n=75); interviews with adult participants (n=27), staff (n=13) and administrators (n=13); document review (staff sessional evaluation forms, n=29); and an adult participant questionnaire (n=88). The study examined how the program model was implemented and the perceived benefits of the programs. Findings were interpreted within a health promotion framework. Findings: The clientele were ethnically diverse and the majority suffered from food insecurity. Program implementation: From 4-15 adults cooked together weekly or bi-weekly, under the guidance of a facilitator. Some programs also provided instruction and activities for children. Several programs culminated with a shared meal. The programs addressed numerous issues, such as healthy eating on a budget, safe food handling, encouraging children to eat more fruit and vegetables, involving children in food preparation, and social and cultural isolation/integration. The small, intimate, inclusive, engaging, sensitive and non-threatening nature of the programs supported the development of perceived benefits in food-related and psychosocial areas. Main perceived benefits: Food-related skills and competencies, social integration and positive health/psychosocial well-being increased for adults. Healthy eating attitudes and behaviours and food preparation skills increased for children. Conclusions: The programs applied current strategic health promotion strategies of enhancing (healthy-eating) health literacy, strengthening social networks and providing a supportive environment. The food/nutrition and psychosocial perceived benefits of the programs occurred in conjunction with each other. This type of program holds promise for increasing healthy eating skills, attitudes and behaviours and psychosocial well-being among inner city children and their families.

description: In this paper, we study the performance of IPOP-saACM-ES and BIPOP-saACM-ES, recently proposed self-adaptive surrogate-assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies. Both algorithms were tested using restarts till a total number of function evaluations of $10^6D$ was reached, where $D$ is the dimension of the function search space. We compared surrogate-assisted algorithms with their surrogate-less versions IPOP-saACM-ES and BIPOP-saACM-ES, two algorithms with one of the best overall performance observed during the BBOB-2009 and BBOB-2010. The comparison shows that the surrogate-assisted versions outperform the original CMA-ES algorithms by a factor from 2 to 4 on 8 out of 24 noiseless benchmark problems, showing the best results among all algorithms of the BBOB-2009 and BBOB-2010 on Ellipsoid, Discus, Bent Cigar, Sharp Ridge and Sum of different powers functions.

 Sellow collected three specimens (skins only) of the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus), a rare callitrichid restricted to the state of São Paulo (Fig. 7 b). The labels of each specimen read “ S. Paulo Sellow ”. The naturalist probably collected all three in Ipanema (the type locality of Jacchus chrysopygus Mikan), where he and Olfers stayed in 1819 and where Sellow returned in 1829. Nevertheless, every locality visited by Sellow between the Tietê and Paranapanema rivers are potential candidates as the collecting locality of these specimens.
More importantly, it appears that the existence of these three specimens has not been recorded in the literature until recently (Garbino et al. 2016). Previous literature records include the series collected by Natterer in Ipanema and Vargem Grande and some specimens collected by E. Garbe, A. Hempel and O. Hummel (Coimbra-Filho 1970; Hershkovitz 1977).

description: The phenomenon of aftershocks is studied in view of science of complexity. In particular, three different concepts are examined: (i) the complex-network representation of seismicity, (ii) the event-event correlations, and (iii) the effects of long-range memory. Regarding (i), it is shown the clustering coefficient of the complex earthquake network exhibits a peculiar behavior at and after main shocks. Regarding (ii), it is found that aftershocks experience aging, and the associated scaling holds. And regarding (iii), the scaling relation to be satisfied by a class of singular Markovian processes is violated, implying the existence of the long-range memory in processes of aftershocks.

 According to specimen’s labels and the Generalkatalog, these two callitrichids were collected by Sellow. The Saguinus niger (ZMB _MAM 289, skin only) has “ Pará ” as the locality (Fig. 7 d). The Mico argentatus (ZMB _MAM 284, skin only) label reads “Brasilien” (Fig. 7 c). These two taxa are restricted to the Amazonia of the Brazilian state of Pará (Rylands and Mittermeier 2013) and more likely were collected by Sieber, who acquired specimens in that region for Hoffmannsegg (Ávila-Pires 1967). Ávila-Pires (1967) reported on a similar discrepancy for specimens of the bristle-spined rat, Chaetomys subspinosus (e.g., ZMB _MAM 1300), an animal restricted to the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Bahia, and Sergipe, but whose specimen labels and catalogue entries read “ Cametá,” a locality in the Amazonia of Pará, northern Brazil, where Sieber made collections.

A list of clinical trials is also given. For what concerns scholar papers, we report among them a preprint posted on 10 June in MedRχiv, which concludes that Ivermectin was associated with lower mortality during treatment of Covid-19. From news, we consider in particular the case of Iquitos, capital city of the Loreto Region in Peru, where, by May 25, Covid-19 cases and deaths had dropped notably. The formulation of ivermectin used in Peru is also discussed, in particular that of the oral solution disclosed by the Peruvian Government. A section about updating (8 July) is added to the discussion.

 The species is represented by an adult male (MTR = 85.11 mm; MDL = 91.41 mm; BB = 76.09 mm); writing on the skull reads “ San Paulo Sello” (Fig. 8 a). This locality is probably incorrect, since the species occurred only in marshy habitats in western São Paulo, along the banks of the Rio Paraná, a region not visited by Sellow (Piovezan et al. 2010). The species also occurred in Brazil and Uruguay, along the banks of the Rio Uruguay (Piovezan et al. 2010), and it is more probable that this specimen came from these countries, near that river.

To applaud or not to applaud : governance and the (re)production of identity through high-cultural consumption.
Creators: name: Xu, Fang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research investigates high-cultural consumption in urban China during the last decade, looking in particular at attendance of Western classical music concerts. By studying the audiences, I intend to explore the reasons behind the popularity of this cultural consuming practice in a market economy with Chinese characteristics. Situated in Shanghai, a 'global city’ in making, I also view this phenomenon from a post-colonial perspective – given the city’s semi-colonial history in the early 20th century. In this paper, I try to bridge Foucaultian governmentality in the sense of self-cultivation and governmental intervention in the cultural market, with Bourdieu’s capital conversions by illustrating how urbanites in Shanghai appropriate high-cultural consumption in the process of their identity (re)production. I argue that Shanghairen’s attendance at, and interest in, Western classical music concerts is an epitome of the local’s response or coping mechanism when encountering the ‘modern’ global in its historical and contemporary forms. This cultural consumption practice promoted by the municipal government – based on its manipulation of Shanghairen’s aspiration towards the modern West – in reality contributes to the formation of both the local residents’ identities, and the urban culture. Furthermore, the appreciation of Western classical music concerts closes up the perceived distance between Shanghai and the advanced West, meanwhile, enlarges the ‘quality’ (suzhi) gap between Shanghairen and people from the rest of China.
Fluctuation and Order of Antiferromagnetism induced by Paramagnetic Pair-Breaking in Superconducting Vortex Lattice

description: Effects of the strong Pauli-paramagnetic pair-breaking (PPB) on the vortex lattice in d-wave superconductors are theoretically studied by putting emphasis on consequences of the PPB-induced antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering in the spatial modulation in the vortex lattice. It is shown that the PPB-induced AFM fluctuation in the superconducting state leads to an enhancement of the vortex lattice form factor which is a measure of spatial variations of the internal magnetic field and that the enhancement becomes more remarkable as an AFM instability is approached. It is also demonstrated that the PPB-induced AFM ordering is assisted by the vortex-lattice modulation, and thus, that the resulting AFM order is spatially modulated, while it is not localized in the vortex cores but coexistent with the nonvanishing superconducting order parameter. These results are discussed in connection with two phenomena observed in CeCoIn5, the anomalous field dependence of the vortex lattice form factor and the AFM order appearing inside the high-field and low-temperature superconducting phase.

description: In biomedical studies it is of substantial interest to develop risk prediction scores using high-dimensional data such as gene expression data for clinical endpoints that are subject to censoring. In the presence of well-established clinical risk factors, investigators often prefer a procedure that also adjusts for these clinical variables. While accelerated failure time (AFT) models are a useful tool for the analysis of censored outcome data, it assumes that covariate effects on the logarithm of time-to-event are linear, which is often unrealistic in practice. We propose to build risk prediction scores through regularized rank estimation in partly linear AFT models, where high-dimensional data such as gene expression data are modeled linearly and important clinical variables are modeled nonlinearly using penalized regression splines. We show through simulation studies that our model has better operating characteristics compared to several existing models. In particular, we show that there is a nonnegligible effect on prediction as well as feature selection when nonlinear clinical effects are misspecified as linear. This work is motivated by a recent prostate cancer study, where investigators collected gene expression data along with established prognostic clinical variables and the primary endpoint is time to prostate cancer recurrence.

description: We describe identical particles through their extrinsic physical properties and operationally with an operator of selective measure Mm. The operator Mm is formed through non-symmetrized tensor product of one-particle measurement operators, so that it does not commute with the permutation operator P. This operator of selective measure Mm is a local operation (LO) if it acts on physical systems of distinguishable particles, but when Mm acts on the Hilbert sub-space of a system with a constant number of indistinguishable particles this can generate entanglement in the system. We will call entanglement by measurement (EbM), this way of producing entanglement. In this framework, we show entangle production examples for systems of two fermions (or bosons) when the operator Mm has two-particle events that are not mutually exclusive.

description: This paper brings together two bodies of research on development strategies that are rarely considered together: smart city strategies (SCS), and the formalization of informality. Both are common practices for cities that want to be seen to be at the cutting edge of urban fashion. Both strategies have also been criticized as top-down and corporate friendly initiatives that undermine local vernacular practices. Smart city proponents beg the question of what makes a city smart, and in doing so neglect forms of intelligence that do not involve sophisticated technology controlled by technical and corporate elites. I argue that argue that cities can be “smarter” (if by that we mean anything other than the quantity or density of information and communication technology) in a variety of ways, including (1) citizen engagement (Leontidou 2015), (2) low-tech but effective architectural and urban design, and (3) high-tech (currently emphasizing distributed cognition through studding cities with sensors monitored with big data analytics). The paper concludes with a research agenda towards non-elitist and non-humanist smart cities.

We also discuss its application to two active topics of study: spectrum sharing, and sum of interference powers (e.g., lognormal) analysis.

Inclusive Measurement of Diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The diffractive process ep \rightarrow eXY, where Y denotes a proton or its low mass excitation with MY < 1.6 GeV, is studied with the H1 experiment at HERA. The analysis is restricted to the phase space region of the photon virtuality 3 \leq Q2 \leq 1600 GeV2, the square of the four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex |t| < 1.0 GeV2 and the longitudinal momentum fraction of the incident proton carried by the colourless exchange xIP < 0.05. Triple differential cross sections are measured as a function of xIP, Q2 and beta = x/xIP where x is the Bjorken scaling variable. These measurements are made after selecting diffractive events by demanding a large empty rapidity interval separating the final state hadronic systems X and Y . High statistics measurements covering the data taking periods 1999-2000 and 2004-2007 are combined with previously published results in order to provide a single set of diffractive cross sections from the H1 experiment using the large rapidity gap selection method. The combined data represent a factor between three and thirty increase in statistics with respect to the previously published results. The measurements are compared with predictions from NLO QCD calculations based on diffractive parton densities and from a dipole model. The proton vertex factorisation hypothesis is tested.

This specimen, represented by a skull, is identifiable as male due to the presence of antlers (Fig. 8 b). The skull is complete, but the right M1 is missing and the premaxillae are broken (MTR = 67.4 mm; MDL = 72.12 mm; BB = 63.65 mm; NL = 81.6 mm). The writing on the skull reads “ San Paulo Sello.”
 Typical of open grasslands, this species probably has been extirpated in São Paulo (Jackson 1987; Duarte & Vogliotti 2010). In this state, Natterer collected a male in Itararé (Pelzeln 1883) and Carvalho recoded the species in Águas de Santa Bárbara (Carvalho 1980). The locality is probably correct because the only area in São Paulo that Sellow visited and could have collected a specimen of O. bezoarticus, due to the presence of open grasslands (Borgonovi & Chiarini 1965), is in the vicinity Itararé.

description: Diffraction calculations, such as the angular spectrum method, and Fresnel diffractions, are used for calculating scalar light propagation. The calculations are used in wide-ranging optics fields: for example, computer generated holograms (CGHs), digital holography, diffractive optical elements, microscopy, image encryption and decryption, three-dimensional analysis for optical devices and so on. However, increasing demands made by large-scale diffraction calculations have rendered the computational power of recent computers insufficient. We have already developed a numerical library for diffraction calculations using a graphic processing unit (GPU), which was named the GWO library. However, this GWO library is not user-friendly, since it is based on C language and was also run only on a GPU. In this paper, we develop a new C++ class library for diffraction and CGH calculations, which is referred as to a CWO++ library, running on a CPU and GPU. We also describe the structure, performance, and usage examples of the CWO++ library.

description: Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is a conserved mRNA quality control process that eliminates transcripts bearing a premature termination codon. In addition to its role in removing erroneous transcripts, NMD is involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression via programmed intron retention in metazoans. The apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum shows relatively high levels of intron retention, but it is unclear whether these variant transcripts are functional targets of NMD. In this study, we use CRISPR-Cas9 to disrupt and epitope-tag the P. falciparum orthologs of two core NMD components: PfUPF1 (PF3D7_1005500) and PfUPF2 (PF3D7_0925800). We localize both PfUPF1 and PfUPF2 to puncta within the parasite cytoplasm and show that these proteins interact with each other and other mRNA-binding proteins. Using RNA-seq, we find that although these core NMD orthologs are expressed and interact in P. falciparum, they are not required for degradation of nonsense transcripts. Furthermore, our work suggests that the majority of intron retention in P. falciparum has no functional role and that NMD is not required for parasite growth ex vivo. IMPORTANCE In many organisms, the process of destroying nonsense transcripts is dependent on a small set of highly conserved proteins. We show that in the malaria parasite, these proteins do not impact the abundance of nonsense transcripts. Furthermore, we demonstrate efficient CRISPR-Cas9 editing of the malaria parasite using commercial Cas9 nuclease and synthetic guide RNA, streamlining genomic modifications in this genetically intractable organism.

description: Markov basis for statistical model of contingency tables gives a useful tool for performing the conditional test of the model via Markov chain Monte Carlo method. In this paper we derive explicit forms of Markov bases for change point models and block diagonal effect models, which are typical block-wise effect models of two-way contingency tables, and perform conditional tests with some real data sets.

The practice and significance of domestic cooking : insights from families in British Columbia
Creators: name: Simmons, Dean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Does domestic cooking still matter in an era where pre-prepared meals and convenience foods are readily available and relatively affordable for the majority of the population? Should we be concerned by alarms of culinary deskilling raised in the media? This thesis addresses these questions by investigating the practice and significance of domestic cooking and cooking skills for participant families in the province of British Columbia in Canada. The study design was qualitative. A small sample of 22 families was recruited, where at least one adult and one teen were interviewed in each family. A maximum of diversity was sought within the sample, and families were selected from across the income gradient, with half living in an urban community (northeast Vancouver) and the other half living in a rural area (District of Kent). Each participant was involved in two semi-structured interviews including two photo elicitation activities. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were then coded using Atlas.ti qualitative data analysis software. The research findings provide insight into how much cooking was happening in participants’ homes, who was doing the cooking, and how cooking skills were learned and taught. A significant and novel finding was the insight gained on the subjective meaning or significance of being able to cook within families. Participants spoke of home cooking as significant for reasons beyond just nourishing bodies, and in ways that challenge popular concerns about culinary deskilling. The findings support the argument that domestic cooking may be transitioning from a state of ‘having to cook’ to ‘wanting to cook’. As well, the analysis of the findings suggests that the relationship between cooking skills and food practices is indirect. From a public health perspective an argument is made for the significance of basic cooking skills as enabling citizens to follow the dietary guidance in Canada’s Food Guide. These basic cooking skills may best be taught, as part of a multimodal health promotion strategy, at periods of life transition when people are most interested in acquiring and applying cooking skills.

description: Carrier dynamics in single-layer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is studied using spatially and temporally resolved pump-probe spectroscopy by measuring both differential transmission and differential reflection. By studying the expansion of a Gaussian spatial profile of carriers excited by a 1500-nm pump pulse with a 1761-nm probe pulse, we observe a diffusion of hot carriers of 5500 square centimeter per second. We also observe that the expansion of the carrier density profile decreases to a slow rate within 1 ps, which is unexpected. Furthermore, by using an 810-nm probe pulse we observe that both the differential transmission and reflection change signs, but also that this sign change can be permanently removed by exposure of the graphene to femtosecond laser pulses of relatively high fluence. This indicates that the differential transmission and reflection at later times may not be directly caused by carriers, but may be from some residue material from the sample fabrication or transfer process.

description: This article examines the relationship between acquaintanceship and coauthorship patterns in a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, geographically distributed research center. Two social networks are constructed and compared: a network of coauthorship, representing how researchers write articles with one another, and a network of acquaintanceship, representing how those researchers know each other on a personal level, based on their responses to an online survey. Statistical analyses of the topology and community structure of these networks point to the importance of small-scale, local, personal networks predicated upon acquaintanceship for accomplishing collaborative work in scientific communities.

description: Particle-hole continuum in Dirac sea of graphene has a unique window underneath,which in principle leaves a room for bound state formation in the triplet particle hole channel [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 89}, 016402 (2002)]. In this work, we construct appropriate triplet particle-hole operators, and using a repulsive Hubbard type effective interaction, we employ equations of motions to derive approximate eigen-value equation for such triplet operators. While the secular equation for the spin density fluctuations gives rise to an equation which is second order in the strength of the short range interaction, the explicit construction of the triplet operators obtained here shows that in terms of these operators, the second order can be factorized to two first order equations, one of which gives rise to a solution below the particle-hole continuum of Dirac electrons in undoped graphene.

description: Neoperla cf. bicornua Wu, 1973
 ( Fig. 5)
 Neoperla bicornua Wu, 1973: 109. Type locality: China: Sichuan (Emeishan, Baoguosi Temple).
 Material examined. Paratype of Neoperla quadrata Wu & Claassen: 1 male (USNM), China: Szechuan, Mt. Omei, ShinKaiSi (Sichuan Province, Emeishan Mountain, XinKai Temple), 4400 feet, 1921. VII.1–30, D.C. Graham.
 Distribution. China (Sichuan Province).
 Diagnosis and remarks. The head pattern of the above specimen is obscure but the aedeagal sac is still in good condition after eversion. Clearly, this specimen is not conspecific with N. quadrata. We tentatively identify the above paratype of N. quadrata as N. bicornua because of the apparent sympatry and similar terminalia both in dorsal and dorsolateral views (Figs. 5 a–5d). However, the specific aedeagal details are still unknown for N. bicornua. The sac armature appears similar to that of N. henana Li & Wu, 2011 with an entire basoventral patch of spines whereas the corresponding area in N. henana is without spines with two lateral spinous areas (fig. 3, Qin et al. 2013). The armature is nearly identical to a specimen deposited in California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. that may be part of the same series of Wu & Claassen (1934) identified as N. chui Wu & Claassen 1934 but not mentioned in the original description. The male and female of this species were determined as N. chui possibly based solely on external terminalia morphology at that time, not using aedeagal characters. As the aedeagus of only known specimen of N. chui, the holotype, is missing, the identity of N. chui and other sympatric specimens will require additional study (personal communication Ignac Sivec unpublished data).
 However, N. chui is known only from the holotype and the aedeagus was discovered to be missing in 1982, as noted below under N. chui. The shape and distinctive armature of the uneverted aedeagus of the holotype specimen was shown in the original illustration (fig. 17, Wu & Claassen 1934). This figure shows N. chui does not belong to the N. lushana subgroup of the N. montivaga group due to the absence of ventroapical projections of the aedeagal tube. Therefore, the California Academy specimen labelled as “ N. chui ” is apparently misidentified. Consequently, study of the uneverted aedeagus should be done when additional sympatric specimens become available.

description: An attempt toward the operational formulation of quantum thermodynamics is made by employing the recently proposed operations forming positive operator-valued measures for generating thermodynamic processes. The quantity of heat as well as the von Neumann entropy monotonically increases under the operations. The fixed point analysis shows that repeated applications of these operations to a given system transform from its pure ground state at zero temperature to the completely random state in the high temperature limit with intermediate states being generically out of equilibrium. It is shown that the Clausius inequality can be violated along the processes, in general. A bipartite spin-1/2 system is analyzed as an explicit example.

Ab initio methods for finite temperature two-dimensional Bose gases

description: The stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation and modified Popov theory are shown to provide an ab initio description of finite temperature, weakly-interacting two-dimensional Bose gas experiments. Using modified Popov theory, a systematic approach is developed in which the momentum cut-off inherent to classical field methods is removed as a free parameter. This is shown to yield excellent agreement with the recent experiment of Hung et al. [Nature, 470, 236 (2011)], verifying that the stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation captures the observed universality and scale-invariance.

description: The Type II-Plateau supernova (SN II-P) SN 2004dj was the first SN II-P for which spectropolarimetry data were obtained with fine temporal sampling before, during, and after the fall off of the photometric plateau -- the point that marks the transition from the photospheric to the nebular phase in SNe II-P. Unpolarized during the plateau, SN 2004dj showed a dramatic spike in polarization during the descent off of the plateau, and then exhibited a smooth polarization decline over the next two hundred days. This behavior was interpreted by Leonard et al. (2006) as evidence for a strongly non-spherical explosion mechanism that had imprinted asphericity only in the innermost ejecta. In this brief report, we compare nine similarly well-sampled epochs of spectropolarimetry of the Type II-P SN 2008bk to those of SN 2004dj. In contrast to SN 2004dj, SN 2008bk became polarized well before the end of the plateau and also retained a nearly constant level of polarization through the early nebular phase. Curiously, although the onset and persistence of polarization differ between the two objects, the detailed spectropolarimetric characteristics at the epochs of recorded maximum polarization for the two objects are extremely similar, feature by feature. We briefly interpret the data in light of non-Local-Thermodynamic Equilibrium, time-dependent radiative-transfer simulations specifically crafted for SN II-P ejecta.
