Machine learning based gait parameter analysis for normal and pathological patterns
Creators: name: Zhang, Wenwen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The pervasiveness of wearable sensors has contributed to plenty of daily activity data and greatly improved the ability to link data analytics with healthcare applications. Gait analysis is an important part of the healthcare field to help monitor the patient’s progress with gait disturbances such as Stroke and Parkinson’s. The traditional method to get gait parameters is the GaitRite walkway, which is cumbersome and requires professional training in setting up every time. With the assistance of wearable sensors, we are able to record the motion of the foot without those limitations. Zero Update Position and Timing (ZUPT) has been used to analysis of normal people’s walking for a long time. However, ZUPT has been validated on the walking of normal people only. In this article, we test the ZUPT on pathological patients. We compare the results of normal and abnormal walking patterns in terms of step recognition and gait parameter prediction accuracy. To help track and monitor patient disease progress with better accuracy, we propose Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to improve the accuracy of healthcare application estimation results based on the time series data. Those patients also suffer from gait impairments which may cause fatal dangers such as falls. In the meantime, gait parameters are also significant signs of the progress of the disease. To monitor the gait condition, we collect datasets with different gaits, comparing and predicting gait parameters for the patients. Compared to the ZUPT algorithm, the final prediction from ML algorithm of gait parameters achieves greater performance.

title: Applying Economic Evaluation to Public Health: Case Studies in Cost Effectiveness
Creators: name: Collins, BJ
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: For local public health teams, commissioning services that work and are cost effective is important. Having ways of evaluating and assessing their cost effectiveness is invaluable. Health economics and public health have a natural kinship as they both take a population approach to maximising health. The aim of this investigation is to give examples of how a mixed methods approach can be used. This thesis gives three case studies where public health commissioned services for alcohol, tobacco and drug addiction in the North West of England have been evaluated for their cost effectiveness using a mix of economic evaluation techniques combined with elements of realist evaluation and equity impact analysis. These mixed methods evaluation techniques involve engaging with stakeholders to develop a common understanding of outcomes and assumptions in reaching a common understanding of the causal mechanisms that make an intervention work. This thesis outlines how the results of these evaluations were useful in informing strategy and the commissioning process and how they may be used more in the future. There were some novel analyses including matching up crime data and putting a cost on these crimes for people in contact with a drugs test on arrest programme, which found that costs were lower after the drug intervention. The researcher found that there was not a significant change in admissions post-detoxification which indicates that perhaps inpatient residential detoxification has only a limited effect on long term health prospects. This thesis has shown that economic evaluation and realist evaluation methods pose some challenges but can be carried out at a local level as a way of looking at public health interventions through a more complex lens.
Housing language in Vancouver
Creators: name: Amron, Jordan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In April 2021, Vancouver City Council approved a motion to “improve social housing” by upzoning two residential districts on the east and south sides of the city from four to six stories. Densification, city planners and officials argued, would not only unlock federal funding to help redevelop some 100+ “non-market,” “aging” properties; it would also help concentrate, and thus decarbonize, the city’s energy-inefficient sub-urban form. In a win-win move, Vancouver could fight the housing and climate crises with a single policy. This project investigates how a language of housing redevelopment has worked in the (re)production of Vancouver, British Columbia over the last century. Chapter 1 is a wide history of ‘density’ in three acts. First, in the early 20th century, early Vancouver planners institutionalized a technology of density to defend against the overcrowded slum, by then a global and feared scourge. Second, in the wake of urban renewal, a group of insurgent planners turned density from ‘bad’ to also ‘good’, and a metaphor of densification was articulated to help propel an intensifying process of urban redevelopment. And third, in the early 2000s, a failed attempt to enshrine EcoDensity into the charter of the city nonetheless lives on in the spirit of city policy. Chapter 2 is a case study of a particular affordable housing redevelopment. Less than a month after the 2021 rezoning passed City Council, the nonprofit housing provider Entre Nous Femme (ENF) informed tenants at Alma Blackwell—a 44-unit, mixed-used social housing complex it owns in East Vancouver—that the property would be demolished and rebuilt with double the stock. While density was a key catalyst and rationale for redevelopment, I argue that public divestment from the housing sector transformed both landlord and tenants alike, and between them was deployed contested visions of ‘community’ to justify and resist redevelopment. Chapter 3 is a history of the demoviction, a portmanteau invented by tenants in the neighboring city of Burnaby and used by Alma Blackwell tenants to contest redevelopment. I argue the concept works by foregrounding the byproducts of redevelopment—the evicted tenant and the demolished building.

description: This study aims to explore the opportunities, challenges, and barriers for emerging economies within the new paradigm of Digital Economy in achieving the Sustainable Goals (SDGs) as set out in 2015 by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly. Detailed analysis of the selected UN SDGs is evaluated with reference to conventional digital financial inclusion. Importantly, this paper attempts to empirically examine the impact of digitalization on selected UN SDGs of growth, poverty reduction, and inequality by applying the panel econometric estimation methods on data from 20 emerging countries for the period 2005-2020. In last, the challenges and opportunities in the adoption of the digital financial system to facilitate UN SDGs are also discussed with reference to emerging economies.
title: Troublesome Mental Health Knowledge in a Western Canadian undergraduate Nursing education program: Student and Faculty Perspectives
Creators: name: Leidl, D
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This project was conducted under the assumption that examples of troublesome knowledge exist in mental health nursing education curricula. The purpose of the project was to identify specific mental health content that nursing students and faculty identified as being troublesome and organized them using the definitions established by Perkins (1999) and Meyer & Land (2003). A sequential mixed methods research design was used to investigate nursing students and faculty member perspectives on troublesome mental health nursing content. Data were collected using surveys and focus groups and analyzed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. From the project data, troublesome mental health nursing content was organized into five themes including the spectrum of mental illness, therapeutic relationships and boundaries, praxis, professionalism in nursing, and brain chemistry changes and management. Troublesome mental health nursing content was also organized according to troublesome form, revealing that students focused more on alien/foreign content and faculty focused more on tacit content. The student and faculty perspectives on troublesome mental health nursing knowledge are different. However, specific mental health nursing content was identified by all participants as being troublesome. This overlap consisted of troublesome knowledge for students with unresolved troublesome knowledge for faculty. To explain the learning examples collected during this project, a learning pathway was created, providing a visualization of the student's movement through the liminal spaces associated with learning troublesome mental health nursing knowledge.
title: Optimal and Robust Control for a Class of Nonlinear Stochastic Systems
Creators: name: Hua, H
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This thesis focuses on theoretical research of optimal and robust control theory for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems. The nonlinearities that appear in the diffusion terms are of a square-root type. Under such systems the following problems are investigated: optimal stochastic control in both finite and infinite horizon; robust stabilization and robust H∞ control; H₂/H∞ control in both finite and infinite horizon; and risk-sensitive control. The importance of this work is that explicit optimal linear controls are obtained, which is a very rare case in the nonlinear system. This is regarded as an advantage because with explicit solutions, our work becomes easier to be applied into the real problems. Apart from the mathematical results obtained, we have also introduced some applications to finance.

Application of time course-based kinetic methods to complex catalytic systems
Creators: name: Deem, Madeleine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Understanding and optimizing chemical reactions is important for controlling reaction selectivity, increasing yield, reducing waste, and improving numerous other reaction parameters. Reaction optimization is often informed by mechanistic understanding, which arises from kinetic studies. Kinetic studies aim to understand what impacts the mechanism and rate of a reaction. There are many methodologies for kinetic analysis. There have been recent advances in kinetic methodologies which allow for the interrogation of systems under reaction-relevant conditions, and which require fewer experiments than traditional initial rate methods. These modern kinetic methodologies utilize temporal profiles of chemical reactions that track the course of individual reaction components over the course of a reaction. Time course reaction profiles provide invaluable reaction insight and, coupled with these new kinetic methodologies, are extremely powerful tools for mechanistic elucidation. However, chemists have been slow to onboard these powerful methodologies, which are still considered advanced and niche techniques. This thesis aims to develop protocols to make these methodologies more accessible to the general chemistry community. A set of best practices for collecting robust and high-quality time course reaction profiles for kinetic studies was developed. This guide improves the confidence chemists have in the conclusions of kinetic studies by ensuring that important control reactions have been run and proper optimization of reaction monitoring parameters has been achieved. A protocol for converting data sets of temporal peak area versus time to temporal concentration using nonlinear regression analysis was also developed. This method is rapid, facile, and broadly accessible as it can be done with any nonlinear regression tool, including the Solver plug-in in Microsoft Excel. Lastly, the presented protocols and procedures were applied to gather kinetic data in the Buchwald Hartwig amination of a polyhalogenated arene. Time course data of the amination were gathered with several commonly employed catalyst systems. The time course profiles in combination with reaction modeling enabled delineation of two previously indistinguishable mechanisms, ring walking and diffusion controlled coupling. The resulting mechanistic understanding was leveraged to achieve a specific site selectivity in the amination of the polyhalogenated arene and enabled desymmetrization of the symmetrical starting material.

description: This research aims to attainment two essential purposes: first, use of inorganic fire retardant which represent zinc borate to increase the flame retardancy for advanced composite material consists of Araldite resin (AY103) reinforced by hybrid fibers from carbon and Kevlar fibers as a woven roving (º45 - º 0), by using a surface layer from zinc borate as a coating layer of (4mm) thickness. Then, this system was exposed to a direct flame generated from Oxyacetylene torch (3000ºC) with different flame exposure distances [10,15,20mm], and study the range of resistance of retardant material layer to the flames and protected the substrate. Second, forming a hybrid fire retardant by added antimony trioxide with a various amount (10%,20%,30%) to zinc borate to enhance this material's action to react flame and exposure this hybrid material to same flame temperature and exposure distances. The method of measuring the surface temperature opposite the flame was used to determine the heat transferred to the composite material. the best results were obtained with a considerable exposed distance and a large percentage from the protective layer, which is zinc borate with (30%) antimony trioxide
A path towards "one water" community : performance assessment and benchmarking
Creators: name: Pokhrel, Sarin Raj
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: An urban water system (UWS) has three main service components: (i) drinking water; (ii) wastewater; and (iii) stormwater. Historically, each component in urban water development evolved with different objectives for “different” types of water. Even today, the trend continues, as urban water services are managed in silos. The silo-based approaches are less sustainable, resilient, and reliable, mainly because of significant pressures on freshwater supplies exerted by the increasing population, high living standards, rapid urbanization, and climate change uncertainties. To cope with these challenges, conventional thinking needs to change. An innovative paradigm, the “One Water” approach (OWA), which considers “urban water” as a single entity, is the need of the hour. Currently, Australia, USA, and Singapore are leading the implementation of the OWA whereas the EU nations have emphasized the need for integrating water resource management (reflecting the One Water concept) in an urban environment. Only a few Canadian municipalities have embraced OWA at a very preliminary level. This research aimed to develop an OWA-based framework to improve urban water sustainability, resiliency, and reliability. The research entailed five phases. Phase 1 identified Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater performance individually. Phase 2 developed a performance assessment model that benchmarked UWS performance, determined weaknesses, and recommended necessary interventions to enhance overall performance. Phase 3 provided a bigger picture of OWA (definition and scope) concept, existing practices, and challenges to implementing OWA in a real-world environment. In addition, it also developed an optimization model to identify the optimum water conservation strategies to reduce potable water use. Phase 4 developed and prioritized OWA indicators to evaluate integrated UWS (IUWS) performance and measure water systems’ sustainability, resiliency, and reliability. Phase 5 adopted a design thinking approach to develop best practices in implementing OWA in UWS. The results of this research will provide foundational knowledge to evaluate individual water system performance and set performance benchmarks for small and medium-sized UWSs. In addition, the findings from this study will open new avenues for urban water managers to adopt OWA in their existing systems to evaluate their IUWS performance. Thus, it will assist policy-makers in establishing new guidelines to improve their UWS holistically and help decision-makers make strategic decisions to address an increasing urban water service demand.

Integration of an AI-based self-correcting fused deposition modelling, composite sensor, and XR technology : an Industry 4.0 demonstration study
Creators: name: Jayaraman Krishnamurthy, Rohith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Additive manufacturing has become an essential part of the Industry 4.0 paradigm, but significant challenges remain in developing robust and automated process models that underpin the technology. In the first phase of this research, an AI-based robust method for an automatic stringing defect detection and its real-time self-correction during Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is proposed. The method is realized using a multi-stage’ progressive machine learning under a combination of a convolutional neural network (CNN) and an Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) decision tree classifier. The CNN is trained offline using camera images of observed stringing defects at various process conditions and during layer-by-layer material deposition, mapping the data onto three classes of print quality (low/medium/high). Using the output of this CNN and the process variables such as retraction rate, retraction distance, and nozzle temperature, the XGB classifier then identifies the optimal G-code that can yield low or no stringing in printing the new parts. Using real-time validation tests, the model demonstrated an accuracy of 97% in the print quality prediction, a specificity of 96%, as well as over 90% F-score, sensitivity, and precision.In the second phase of the research, it is aimed to combine the advantage of the above self-correcting FDM process with the emerging computer-mediated reality (XR) methods, and the Internet of Things (IoT), as an Industry 4.0 demonstration case study to safely monitor and control the temperature of manufactured parts in a simulated factory warehouse. To this end, a new Graphene- PLA sensor is 3D printed and calibrated, and subsequently, an XR mobile application is developed in Unity, to visualize and control the parts temperature in real-time. A user study is also conducted in the controlled lab environment, and the results showed that the XR mobile app clearly leads to faster (by 86.8%) and more accurate (97%) temperature control and monitoring compared to a conventional manual IR-camera application. The user experience (UX) was also significantly improved, as measured through a Holistic Presence Questionnaire (HPQ)

Mental health experiences of people living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Creators: name: Olure, Bimbola
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: INTRODUCTION: Despite documentation and clinical guideline recommendations that people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at increased risk for multiple common mental health (MH) concerns, there is limited research investigating their MH experiences, and MH support services are rarely offered as part of routine care to those patients who require increased support from healthcare providers. OBJECTIVES: I aimed to gain in-depth knowledge of MH experiences of people with PCOS (Part 1); and to understand newcomer youth MH experiences and experiences with accessing MH services in Canada (Part 2) to inform MH support services offered to people with PCOS. METHODS: Part 1: I conducted a systematic review of the qualitative literature on the MH experiences of people living with PCOS. Part 2: I conducted a qualitative arts-based investigation using photovoice and timeline mapping to explore the MH experiences of newcomer youth to Canada and their experiences while accessing MH services. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify themes in Part 1 and 2. RESULTS: Part 1: I identified three analytical themes: social isolation due to shame from physical symptoms; feeling held back from living ‘a fulfilling life’; and feeling ‘let down’ by the medical profession. Part 2: I identified four inductive themes that describe participants’ mental health experiences: ‘my body is not the same’; ‘a thousand lost days’ from fatigue and depression; ‘I wouldn’t know if I would get pregnant’; ‘I am stronger because of PCOS’, and two deductive themes that describe their experiences while accessing or trying to access mental health services in Canada: ability to perceive the need for; and availability and accommodation of healthcare services in Canada. CONCLUSION: This thesis provides a rich description of the MH experiences of people living with PCOS, including newcomer youth to Canada, and their experiences while accessing MH services. It highlights a need for improved patient-provider communication, for instance through empathic listening, shared decision-making, or the provision of clear and tailored information to people living with PCOS. Furthermore, I describe a knowledge translation tool that could be developed and implemented into clinical practice to improve the care that this population receives.
Reclaiming their past : writing Jewish history in Iran during the Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and early revolutionary periods
Creators: name: Sternfeld, Lior Betzalel
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin

Subjects: Iran

Jews

description: In the mid-twentieth century Jewish society in Iran emerged from political disenfranchisement and social and economic marginalization to become a well assimilated community with thriving institutions and an active participation in nation building. The turning point came in the wake of the Allied Armies’ 1941 invasion of Iran and Reza Shah’s abdication, which opened unprecedented opportunities for the Jewish community to become an actor in the rebuilding project of a new Iran. Between 1941 and 1979, the Jewish community was institutionally transformed. It was also a period of assimilation and Iranianization. Thus, when faced by the strident patriotism of the 1970s, communal loyalty and identity was poised to be replaced by a new Jewish claim to the right to participate in the struggle for Iranian democracy, and to define the boundaries of a new nationalism This research argues that the re-socialization process that led to this change was nurtured under Mohammad Reza Shah’s nation building project that aimed to create a modern-secular Iranian society that emphasized Iranian civilizational foundations rooted both in ancient Persian culture and Western European civilization. Although this new cultural focus de-emphasized religious affiliations, its driving idea, the Aryan Hypothesis, paradoxically created both opportunities and difficulties for Jews, as many Iranians viewed them as an ethnic minority outside of Aryan-Persian-Shi’i ideals. This dissertation charts the challenges and achievements of the Jewish communities in Iran from 1941 to the early post-revolutionary period. By mapping structural transformations in the Jewish community, and by positioning its changing institutions and ideologies in the larger social and political climate of Iran, it reassesses both Iranian and Jewish-Iranian historiographies, which have posited Jewish Iranian history as an insular narrative, detached from general trends in Iranian society or other communities in the country. In doing so, it also provides a model by which to reassess the position of other minority communities. Through the use of archives that scholars of Jewish Iranian history have overlooked as well as new interviews, this dissertation brings these histories back into the broader context of national history and writes Jewish Iranian history back into Iranian national historiography.

Calcified carotid artery atheroma on standard dental panoramic radiographs in a dental school population : a retrospective study
Creators: name: Taneja, Aneesha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of CCAA detected on DPR’s of individuals over 30 years of age. We assessed if student dentists were able to identify CCAA on DPRs in UBC Dental clinic. Additionally, to associate CCAA on DPR with pre-existing statin indicated conditions, age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, history of smoking and periodontal bone loss. Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the charts of 700 consecutive subjects over the age of 30 with a DPR from October 2018 to April 2021 from UBC Dental Clinic. We reviewed patients’ medical histories for pre-existing statin-indicated conditions as outlined by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society 2021 Guidelines. We also examined patients’ standard dental panoramic radiographs to determine the prevalence of CCAAs. The proportion of patients on lipid lowering therapy (LLT) was also assessed. Results: Out of 700 consecutive charts reviewed with a DPR, 657 were unique subjects. Since subjects had a DPR acquired more than once, only the most recent DPR was included. Of the 657 DPRs, 358 (55.9%) were considered diagnostic for evaluation of CCAA. 16 were excluded due to undocumented or incomplete medical history. Out of the 641 subjects, 289 (45.1%) were females and 352 (54.9%) were males. The mean age was 60.4±16.0 years for females and 60.9±16 years for males. There was evidence of CCAA on 82 (22.9%) of the 358 DPRs; however only 6 (7%) were identified by the student dentist based on the chart review. In patients with CCAAs, 17/82 (20.7%) were already on LLT for a pre-existing condition and 15/82 (18.3%) were not on LLT despite a pre-existing condition, for the remaining 50/82 (61%) CCAA on DPR was the first evidence of atherosclerosis. Therefore, CCAA on DPR constituted a new diagnosis of atherosclerosis in 61% of subjects. With chi square test, a statistically significant association of CCAA found with increasing age (p<0.05), male sex (p<0.05), pre-existing condition (p<0.05), history of smoking and hypertension (p<0.05). Conclusion: CCAA on DPR constitutes a new diagnosis of atherosclerosis in a significant proportion of patients and is an opportunity for risk modifying therapies to prevent future cardiovascular events.

Information retrieval and web search

description: The future of Google Search may depend heavily on generative AI technology, providing users with chatbot-like responses to search queries. This shift could potentially lead to a decline in website traffic, as users may no longer need to click on links to consume content. Websites would need to adapt by incorporating more metadata and formatting their information to cater to the AI's interpretation. This paper aims to explore the potential benefits, challenges, and implications of this evolution in search technology.

Subjective and objective image and video quality assessment methodologies and metrics
Creators: name: Xiang, Jie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Impressive advancements in capturing, display, and delivery technologies significantly elevate image and video quality, and with that the need for designing new subjective and objective image and video quality metrics as well as coding methods. However, the delivered quality is affected by many factors, such as limited transmission bandwidth and compression distortions, which may cause degradation in image/video quality and in turn reduce the users' quality of experience (QoE). On one hand, technological advances tend to increase consumer expectations, while on the other the explosive use of social media and entertainment playback on a plethora of devices, ranging from Virtual Reality displays to TVs, have given rise to many new challenges in evaluating the quality of the captured and delivered content. As always, service providers would like to have an accurate way of assessing the perceptual quality of the decoded video streams at the receiver end. Although subjective quality assessment is the best way to evaluate delivered content, this is rarely practical for most applications. It is, thus, of great significance to develop effective image and video quality metrics as well as compression schemes, which will address the above-mentioned challenges. In this thesis, we first propose a foveated compression approach for images rendered on head-mounted displays (HMD) for virtual reality (VR) applications and a subjective scheme for measuring the quality of the generated images. Then, we propose deep learning based no-reference quality metrics that evaluate the quality of high-definition (HD) images and videos that have been compressed by the HEVC standard. We have also created comprehensive and representative ground truth datasets that are publicly available and may become a benchmark for research in related areas.

Visualisation

description: The SWForum.eu project is a CSA aiming to support a vast array of software related projects funded by the European Commission in the H2020 programme. This deliverable is the first document to be published by Work Package 2, reflecting the research and eventual agreement on how to adopt and improve the Cyberwatching.eu Project Radar for the needs of the SWForum.eu project. It is the required predecessor document to Deliverable 2.5, due later the same year, which will define the roadmap for the technical development of the SWForum.eu Project Radar. It also influences the work and results provided by other work packages; notably WP4. This deliverable provides the necessary groundwork for a successful adoption of the SWForum.eu Project Radar by analysing the current capabilities and degrees of freedom for visualisations of underpinning data. It includes concise summaries of experience and recommendations from the Cyberwatching.eu project. It then documents SWForum.eu’s decisions on which degrees of freedom it will use, and how it will do so. The document concludes with an overview and outlook on impact and challenges the technical development team is facing.

grinberg theorem

description: Deciding if a graph is a Hamilton graph, also named the Hamilton cycle problem, is important for discrete matnematics and computer science. Due to no characterization to identify Hamilton graphs effectively, there no tractable algorithms to solve the Hamilton cycle problem. Grinberg Theorem is a necessary condition only for planar Hamilton graphs. In tis paper, based on new studies on the Grinberg Theorem, in which we provided new properties of Hamilton graphs with respect to the cycle bases and improved the Grinberg Theorem to derive an effcient condition for Hamilton graphs, we present a new precise algorithm for deciding Hamilton graphs, named "1+1" algorithm. Theoretically, the "1+1" algorithm terminates in O(|E(G)3|) worst time complexity, where |E(G)| is the size of the given graph G.

description: In this work, the high pressure behavior of four major SiO2 polymorphs were investigated by means of dynamic compression: α-quartz, fused silica, stishovite and α-cristobalite. Here, laser shock compression and dynamic diamond anvil cell (dDAC) techniques were applied and the concomitant use of hard X-ray radiation at synchrotron- and X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities made a time-resolved investigation of the lattice response at high pressures possible.
