description: This thesis explores the meaning of the Montreal identity from the perspective of Montreal's ethnocultural and linguistic minorities. Generally speaking, it is commonplace for authors in the academic literature on Montreal to describe the city and its identity in terms of its multicultural and cosmopolitan sensibilities. While this forms part of what it means to be a Montrealer, this is not the only significance that this project accounts for. In examining the opinion sections of the Montreal Gazette from the period of September 4th, 2012 to the period of April 7th, 2014 ̶ a period that coincides with the Parti québécois' eighteen months in power under the leadership of Pauline Marois ̶ this thesis reveals that the meaning of the Montreal identity is tied to both the aforementioned multicultural and cosmopolitan sensibilities, as well as a sentiment of exclusion rooted in an ethnic interpretation of the Québec nation. Accordingly, this research also shows how these aspects of Montrealness contribute to the building of a Montreal identity that is meant to be distinct and even opposed to Québec identity.

Ending political correctness and reforming our justice system
Creators: name: Keane, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: To paraphrase a line from former US President Bill Clinton's campaign, 'it's not the alcohol, stupid.' The confluence of a number of recent phenomena should serve as a catalyst for a complete policy overhaul of criminal sentencing in order to return justice to the criminal-justice system. Firstly, whether or not the number of serious offenses is actually rising, the public perceives evermore intimidation. People are genuinely afraid for their safety in public and are avoiding certain areas; something that should be an anathema in a civilized society. Secondly, there is growing dissent against the theory that crime is a function of social disadvantage. For decades the prevailing group-think has lead the academic and cultural elite to the solidly entrenched belief that violent crime can be remedied by social engineering, social intervention and more 'services' to help those 'vulnerable' people who are susceptible to criminal behaviour; in other words it is all society's fault. Within the current pervasive academic and legal ideology, there is a systematic inability to attribute blame for even the most despicable behaviour. Indeed those who raise concepts such as individual responsibility and blame are spurned as being simplistic, Neanderthal-like reactionaries. Violent crime is excused amidst impressive phrases such as alcohol use disorder and random acts of life-ruining aggression are medicalized with reference to terms such as anti-social personality disorder and intermittent explosive disorder. While it is legitimate to study and further our understanding of human behaviour it is hopelessly naive to think that we can simply understand the causes of crime and prevent it by appropriate intervention. This approach, far from being sophisticated, is more akin to an expression of superstition.

description: Featured Application Findings presented in this study can be seen as beneficial in better understanding the collaborative dynamics that present themselves in human collaboration as well as in the further development of novel robot control models. Implementing the leader–follower role allocation studied in this paper into a robot control model allows the robot partner to assume both the role of a follower and that of a leader when necessary. This can be especially useful in social robotics for effective physical rehabilitation. In this regard the results could in the future be incorporated in the design of a human–robot collaborative system that is able to support the human user in more effective skill learning by adjusting its influence on the task performance. Abstract People often find themselves in situations where collaboration with others is necessary to accomplish a particular task. In such cases, a leader–follower relationship is established to coordinate a plan to achieve a common goal. This is usually accomplished through verbal communication. However, what happens when verbal communication is not possible? In this study, we observe the dynamics of a leader–follower relationship in human dyads during collaborative tasks where there is no verbal communication between partners. Using two robotic arms, we designed a collaborative experimental task in which subjects perform the task individually or coupled together through a virtual model. The results show that human partners fall into the leader–follower dynamics even when they cannot communicate verbally. We demonstrate this in two steps. First, we study how each subject in a collaboration influences task performance, and second, we evaluate whether both partners influence it equally or not using our proposed sorting method to objectively identify a leader. We also study the leader–follower dynamics by analysing the task performance of partners during their individual sessions to predict the role distribution in a dyad. Based on the results of our prediction method, we conclude that the higher-performing individual performance will assume the role of a leader in collaboration.
Émergence, « fragmégration » et perpétuation des rébellions au Congo-RDC (1990-2010) : une politologie des groupes armés

description: Cette thèse a pour but de comprendre et d’analyser les logiques d’émergence, les dynamiques de «fragmegration» ainsi que les mécanismes qui concourent à la perpétuation des mouvements politico-militaires au Congo-RDC. Dès le départ nous avons mis en exergue les trois tendances lourdes qui monopolisent le débat sur les rébellions en RDC. Ces trois tendances qui étaient fondamentalement des éléments accélérant ou amplificateurs, ont été à tort considérées comme les principaux éléments déclencheurs. Afin de lever la confusion conceptuelle entre ces deux principes, nous avons suggéré trois autres pistes de réflexion susceptible de mieux expliquer les phénomènes d’émergence, de fragmégration et de perpétuation. Ces pistes de réflexion sont les éléments déclencheurs majeurs autour desquels se structurent et s’articulent notre hypothèse. Dans cette thèse, nous soutenons l’argument selon lequel les phénomènes d’émergence, de fragmégration et de perpétuation sont une résultante de la militarisation des forces sociales congolaises, l’impossibilité du mouvement régional initié par le tandem rwando-ougandais à remporter une victoire clausewitzienne et l’institutionnalisation d’un partage de pouvoir complexe par la communauté internationale. Cette thèse est un appel au décloisonnement disciplinaire et à une multiplication des points d’entrée sur l’étude des groupes armés. D’où le recours à une approche (combinatoire) interdisciplinaire, mobilisant à la fois des courants critiques au sein des relations internationales (le constructivisme critique, la géopolitique) tout en alliant la sociologie des relations internationales plus particulièrement les acquis de la sociologie politique des mouvements sociaux. Notre approche interdisciplinaire qui est au centre de cette thèse peut aussi être d’une grande utilité dans le renforcement de l’approche polémologique fort utile pour saisir la gouvernance par les groupes politico-militaires.

description: Expressive language difficulties are commonplace in aphasia and are often further complicated by co-occurring motor speech disoders. Therefore, many people with aphasia (PWA) are unable to meet all their communication needs by speaking, and they may compensate with the use of communicative writing and drawing. Communicative writing and drawing can be defined as preserved, but imperfect, orthographic skills that PWA use to compensate for expressive language deficits resulting from aphasic and/or motor speech difficulties. The purpose of this study was to determine if the orthographic medium used by a PWA to write and draw influenced the legibility of their writing and drawing. Four different orthographic mediums were used in sentence and figure copying tasks to determine if different orthographic mediums had an impact on legibility of the writing of a PWA.

description: Le Nord a souvent inspiré des artistes de différentes disciplines (par exemple, en littérature, notamment au Canada français). Au fil des années, dans le milieu franco-ontarien, nombreux sont les chansonniers, les poètes et les romanciers qui ont nourri leur plume de cet imaginaire. Toutefois, est-ce que le Nord, dans des œuvres poétiques écrites à partir des années 1980, aurait encore la place qu’il occupait en poésie durant les années 1970 en Ontario français? C’est la présence de cette thématique dans les chansons, les poèmes et les romans franco-ontariens, écrits depuis la période d’effervescence culturelle en Ontario français, qui a attiré notre attention. Nous avons remarqué, dans la production poétique de poètes du nord de l’Ontario, qui y ont vécu ou qui l’ont traversé, que l’espace septentrional alimentait l’imaginaire collectif de plusieurs créateurs. Dans le cadre de notre thèse de maîtrise, nous avons analysé le thème polymorphe du Nord dans deux recueils de poésie franco-ontarienne contemporaine, soit dans Décalage de Patrice Desbiens et dans L’espace éclaté de Pierre Albert. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à la « critique thématique » telle que définie par Gaston Bachelard et Jean-Pierre Richard, ainsi qu’à une grille d’analyse inspirée, entre autres, des recherches du chercheur, professeur et spécialiste du Nord, Daniel Chartier, du géographe du Nord canadien, Louis- Edmond Hamelin, et des spécialistes de la littérature franco-ontarienne, Fernand Dorais, François Paré et Johanne Melançon.

description: This thesis examines the current relationship between Aboriginal and EuroCanadian Anglicans in the Northwest Territories and the Yukon as they seek to move beyond past hurts into a more positive future. After three field trips to Canada's North, visiting seven communities and interviewing seventy-nine individuals, complemented by archival research, I realized the dominant narrative based on a colonialism process linking residential schools, Christian Churches and federal government in a concerted effort to deliberately destroy Aboriginal peoples, cultures, and nations was not adequate to explain what happened in the North or the relationship that exists today. Two other narratives finally emerged from my research. The dominant narrative on its own represents a simplistic, one-dimensional caricature of Northern history and relationships. The second narrative reveals a more complex and nuanced history of relationships in Canada's North with missionaries and residential school officials sometimes operating out of their ethnocentric and colonialistic worldview to assimilate Aboriginal peoples to the dominant society and sometimes acting to preserve Aboriginal ways, including Aboriginal languages and cultures, and sometimes protesting and challenging colonialist policies geared to destroying Aboriginal self-sufficiency and seizing Aboriginal lands. The third narrative is more subtle but also reflects the most devastating process. It builds on what has already been acknowledged by so many: loss of culture. Instead of seeing culture as only tangible components and traditional ways of living, however, the third narrative focuses on a more deep-seated understanding of culture as the process informing how one organizes and understands the world in which one lives. Even when physical and sexual abuse did not occur, and even when traditional skills were affirmed, the cultural collisions that occurred in Anglican residential schools in Canada's North shattered children's understanding of reality itself. While the Anglican Church is moving beyond colonialism in many ways - affirming Aboriginal values and empowering Aboriginal people within the Anglican community, it nevertheless has yet to deal with the cultural divide that continues to be found in their congregations and continues to affect their relationship in Northern communities where Aboriginal and EuroCanadian people worship together yet remain separate.

Is the closest health facility the one used in pregnancy care-seeking? A cross-sectional comparative analysis of self-reported and modelled geographical access to maternal care in Mozambique, India and Pakistan

description: Background: Travel time to care is known to influence uptake of health services. Generally, pregnant women who take longer to transit to health facilities are the least likely to deliver in facilities. It is not clear if modelled access predicts fairly the vulnerability in women seeking maternal care across different spatial settings. Objectives: This cross-sectional analysis aimed to (i) compare travel times to care as modelled in a GIS environment with self-reported travel times by women seeking maternal care in Community Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia: Mozambique, India and Pakistan; and (ii) investigate the assumption that women would seek care at the closest health facility. Methods: Women were interviewed to obtain estimated travel times to health facilities (R). Travel time to the closest facility was also modelled (P) (closest facility tool (ArcGIS)) and time to facility where care was sought estimated (A) (route network layer finder (ArcGIS)). Bland–Altman analysis compared spatial variation in differences between modelled and self-reported travel times. Variations between travel times to the nearest facility (P) with modelled travel times to the actual facilities accessed (A) were analysed. Log-transformed data comparison graphs for medians, with box plots superimposed distributions were used. Results: Modelled geographical access (P) is generally lower than self-reported access (R), but there is a geography to this relationship. In India and Pakistan, potential access (P) compared fairly with self-reported travel times (R) [P (H0: Mean difference = 0)] < .001, limits of agreement: [− 273.81; 56.40] and [− 264.10; 94.25] respectively. In Mozambique, mean differences between the two measures of access were significantly different from 0 [P (H0: Mean difference = 0) = 0.31, limits of agreement: [− 187.26; 199.96]]. Conclusion: Modelling access successfully predict potential vulnerability in populations. Differences between modelled (P) and self-reported travel times (R) are partially a result of women not seeking care at their closest facilities. Modelling access should not be viewed through a geographically static lens. Modelling assumptions are likely modified by spatio-temporal and/or socio-cultural settings. Geographical stratification of access reveals disproportionate variations in differences emphasizing the varied nature of assumptions across spatial settings.

Using uncertainty to ensure democracy: drawing a responsive electoral system with competitive seats
Creators: name: Newton-Farrelly, Jenni
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: US redistricting has changed its focus from remedying partisan bias to increasing responsiveness, partly because measurement of bias is inherently difficult and partly because entrenched incumbents have reduced voters' ability to hold their government to account. An increasing number of states now require their redistribution commissions to draw competitive seats where they can. Australia's electoral boundaries are drawn by independent commissions in a process that prevents the commissions from considering the political effect of the lines they draw, except in South Australia where the commission is required to consider precisely those effects in order to remedy partisan bias. That process seems likely to fail whenever it is most needed because it is too hard to predict how marginal seats will swing with any given statewide swing. Perhaps what the commission could do is address bias in the safe seats and draw a few more marginal seats, using uncertainty to ensure that voters can hold their government to account.
Orientalismi: nuove prospettive interpretative
Creators: name: Proglio, Gabriele
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: This paper is aimed at reconsidering the concept of Orientalism in a new and multiple perspective, and at proposing a different interpretation of the relationship between culture and power, starting from Edward Said’s theoretical frame of reference. If Said’s representational model is repositioned out of structuralist and foucaultian frameworks and separated from the gramscian idea of hegemony-subordination, indeed, it may be possible to re-discuss the traditional profile identifying the Other in the European cultures. My basic assumption here is that Orientalism should not be understood as a consensus mechanism, which is able to produce diversified images of the Orient and the Oriental on demand. Although, of course, in most cases Orientalism is connected to the issue of power, its meanings could also be explained —as it will be soon shown— otherwise.
Let’s take The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino as an example. Here the narratives are not just multiple repetitions of Venice —in Said’s case, the same would hold for Europeanism—, but they could be strategically re-appropriated by those “others” and “alterities” whose bodies and identities are imposed by the Eurocentric discourse. In this sense, a double link may be identified with queer theories and postcolonial studies, and the notion of subordination will be rethought.
Finally, from the above mentioned borders, a new idea of image emerges, which appears as linear, uniform and flattened only to the European gaze, whereas in actual fact it is made of imaginaries and forms of knowledge, which combine representation with the conceptualization of power relationships.

Towards the validation of distributed systems based on data flow analysis.
Creators: name: Huang, Xing.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis proposes a new approach for the detection of data flow anomalies and generation of selective test sequences for distributed systems specified in LOTOS. It includes a Data Petri-Net (DPN) model for system specification. The model is an ordinary Petri-net extended with the capabilities of handling abstract data types, unusual actions and data synchronization. Based on the DPN, parameter (variable/constant) occurrences are classified as definition, undefinition and use. A method called DETANOM is then developed for detecting data flow anomalies, such as undef-use, def-def and def-undef anomalies. To facilitate the selection of test sequences, three families of data-flow-oriented coverage criteria are proposed, which include all-defs covers, all-uses covers and all-du-paths covers. Test sequences selected according to these criteria aim at checking whether an implementation under test possesses the desired associations among the values of the input and output parameters. A method called GENTEST is also developed for generating selective test sequences according to these criteria. Finally, these DPN-based methods are applied to the validation of LOTOS specifications. Details of an application to the Alternating Bit Protocol are included.

description: Bell inequalities are an essential part of quantum information theory. Based on these fundamental inequalities, we propose a different indicator for nonclassicality in the Bell sense: average correlation. We derive a general expression for average correlation and calculate its value for pure states and Werner states. From there we show how two inequalities emerge which serve as necessary and sufficient conditions for nonclassicality. They are simple to evaluate and can even be used to classify all bipartite qubit states.

description: New streamlined models for genetic counseling and genetic testing have recently been developed in response to increasing demand for cancer genetic services. To improve access and decrease wait times, we implemented an oncology clinic-based genetic testing model for breast and ovarian cancer patients in a publicly funded population-based health care setting in British Columbia, Canada. This observational study evaluated the oncology clinic-based model as compared to a traditional one-on-one approach with a genetic counsellor using a multi-gene panel testing approach. The primary objectives were to evaluate wait times and patient reported outcome measures between the oncology clinic-based and traditional genetic counselling models. Secondary objectives were to describe oncologist and genetic counsellor acceptability and experience. Wait times from referral to return of genetic testing results were assessed for 400 patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer undergoing genetic testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer from June 2015 to August 2017. Patient wait times from referral to return of results were significantly shorter with the oncology clinic-based model as compared to the traditional model (403 vs. 191 days; p < 0.001). A subset of 148 patients (traditional n = 99; oncology clinic-based n = 49) completed study surveys to assess uncertainty, distress, and patient experience. Responses were similar between both models. Healthcare providers survey responses indicated they believed the oncology clinic-based model was acceptable and a positive experience. Oncology clinic-based genetic testing using a multi-gene panel approach and post-test counselling with a genetic counsellor significantly reduced wait times and is acceptable for patients and health care providers.

description: Exposure of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, to ion-poor water or softwater elicits several morphological and physiological adaptations. This thesis examines these changes. The effects of a naturally-induced chloride cell proliferation on gill morphology was investigated (Chapter 2) by acclimating fish to softwater ((Na$\sp+\rbrack$ = 0.055 mmol l$\sp{-1};$ (Cl$\sp-\rbrack$ = 0.029 mmol l$\sp{-1};$ (Ca$\sp{2+}\rbrack$ = 0.059 mmol l$\sp{-1};$ (K$\sp+\rbrack$ = 0.007 mmol$\sp{-1}).$ Following 1, 2, and 4 weeks exposure to softwater, the results of scanning electron microscopy revealed a doubling of the chloride cell fractional area (CCFA: percentage of gill epithelium surface covered by chloride cells) due to both an increase in the number of chloride cells and the apical exposed surface area of individual chloride cells. During normoxia, ventilation frequency and opercular displacement were significantly higher in the softwater trout; opercular displacement was similar in both groups. PaCO$\sb2$ and plasma HCO$\sb3\sp-$ concentrations were significantly lower in the softwater fish and the blood acid-base status was characterized by a mixed respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis such that blood pH was not statistically different in the 2 groups. During hypoxia the ventilation frequency and amplitude increased in the control trout, whereas only the ventilation amplitude increased in the softwater acclimated fish. The rate of PaO$\sb2$ reduction during hypoxia was significantly greater in the softwater fish and at the most severe level of hypoxia PaO$\sb2$ was significantly lower in the softwater fish. This thesis demonstrated that respiratory gas transfer is impaired by chloride cell proliferation during hypoxia and that hyperventilation is a compensatory physiological adjustment for softwater fish.

Elle a pour objet de réfléchir à ce qu’Arendt appelle les trésors perdus des révolutions, manière poétique de désigner des événements et des expériences politiques que la tradition révolutionnaire aurait, selon elle, négligés. Arendt se donne comme tâche de les rescaper de l’oubli, car elle estime qu’ils pourraient bien se révéler pertinents pour l’entreprise entamée par Tocqueville : élaborer une nouvelle pensée politique qui permettra de se mouvoir dans un nouveau monde. Le premier chapitre se concentre sur le constitution-making : la pratique révolutionnaire américaine qui a mené à l’adoption de la Constitution, acte fondateur particulier puisqu’il rompait avec la conception traditionnelle de la fondation d’un corps politique. Le deuxième chapitre tente de comprendre ce qu’est l’esprit révolutionnaire en tant qu’attitude spécifique qui animait les révolutionnaires et qui constituerait également l’une des conditions nécessaires au déclenchement de la révolution. Enfin, le dernier chapitre se penche sur les caractéristiques du système des conseils, conçu par Arendt comme une nouvelle forme de gouvernement qui a émergé pendant les révolutions, en même temps que le système de démocratie représentative que nous connaissons aujourd’hui et en conflit avec lui. ii

description: Fascial tissues form a ubiquitous network throughout the whole body, which is usually regarded as a passive contributor to biomechanical behavior. We aimed to answer the question, whether fascia may possess the capacity for cellular contraction which, in turn, could play an active role in musculoskeletal mechanics. Human and rat fascial specimens from different body sites were investigated for the presence of myofibroblasts using immunohistochemical staining for a-smooth muscle actin (n = 31 donors, n = 20 animals). In addition, mechanographic force registrations were performed on isolated rat fascial tissues (n = 8 to n = 18), which had been exposed to pharmacological stimulants. The density of myofibroblasts was increased in the human lumbar fascia in comparison to fasciae from the two other regions examined in this study: fascia lata and plantar fascia [H(2) = 14.0, p < 0.01]. Mechanographic force measurements revealed contractions in response to stimulation by fetal bovine serum, the thromboxane A2 analog U46619, TGF-b1, and mepyramine, while challenge by botulinum toxin type C3–used as a Rho kinase inhibitor– provoked relaxation (p < 0.05). In contrast, fascial tissues were insensitive to angiotensin II and caffeine (p < 0.05). A positive correlation between myofibroblast density and contractile response was found (rs = 0.83, p < 0.001). The hypothetical application of the registered forces to human lumbar tissues predicts a potential impact below the threshold for mechanical spinal stability but strong enough to possibly alter motoneuronal coordination in the lumbar region. It is concluded that tension of myofascial tissue is actively regulated by myofibroblasts with the potential to impact active musculoskeletal dynamics.

description: At least one in five Canadians lives with chronic pain, and the prevalence rate is rising. Chronic pain can be a result of injury, disease, surgery, and in some cases, the cause remains unknown. Due to the complexity and variability in the etiology and presentation of chronic pain, it can often be a challenge to implement an appropriate and effective treatment plan. Often, the effects of chronic pain are so debilitating that relief is only available temporarily with pain medication. However, there is the concern and possibility of addiction, health issues, and even increased risk of death with some medicinal interventions. Living with chronic pain can have widespread ramifications, affecting more than just the physical body. This includes psychological, emotional, interpersonal, and vocational challenges. In essence, all aspects of one’s quality of life can be affected by chronic pain. As chronic pain often persists over many years or even the lifetime, it is important to better understand how one might adapt to living with chronic pain. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a structured 8-week program that is commonly used as an intervention for people living with chronic pain, as several research studies have shown promising effects on pain outcomes and quality of life. Using hermeneutic phenomenology, the purpose of this study is to learn about the lived experiences of participating in an 8-week MBSR program from those living with chronic pain. Particularly, it explores how, if at all, an MBSR program may play a role in the participants’ adaptation to living with chronic pain. In depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 3 participants at the end of the MBSR program. They were then analyzed, interpreted and checked by the researcher. The interpretative analysis involved the researcher explicitly detailing their own positioning in order to inform the interpretations and allow for a well-informed continued interpretation and understanding from readers. Overall, participants described several key aspects which may shed light into the benefits that MBSR can have in regards to adaptation to chronic pain as delineated by the following categories: physical pain and pain management, self-perception and identity, relationship dynamics, and emotional equilibrium. Lastly, broader themes included: being heard and understood, letting go and being here, the healing perspective, and moving from surviving to living. The results of this study speaks to the experience of living with chronic pain, and how an MBSR program offers the tools to help facilitate the adaptation process to living with chronic pain, thereby improving quality of life.

description: La discussione medievale sul tema dei futuri contingenti pone al centro dell’attenzione, da un lato, il modo di concepire conoscenza e potenza divine e, dall’altro, lo statuto degli eventi futuri. Pier Damiani, monaco dell’XI secolo, distingue fra la possibilità divina di mutare le conseguenze del passato e quella di produrre un passato interamente diverso. Pedro Damian, protagonista del racconto di Borges, riscatta il suo comportamento giovanile producendo poco alla volta un altro, diverso, passato. La potenza della memoria invece della potenza di Dio.

description: L’avventura ultraterrena di Dante, definita divina da Boccaccio, si fa in Borges commedia di vita. È soprattutto nell’interpretazione esistenziale del viaggio ultraterreno dantesco che risiede l’irresistibile forza di attrazione dell’ateo Borges per la teologia poetica di Dante, un viaggio alla scoperta di un’umanità, di cui l’incontro con il poeta restituisce affreschi indelebili di grande intensità.

description: Aims Restrictive exclusion criteria from different study populations may limit the generalizability of the observations. By comparing two differently designed German cohorts, we assessed the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes-related complications in recent-onset adult type 1 diabetes. Methods This study evaluated 1511 persons with type 1 diabetes of the prospective diabetes follow-up registry (DPV) and 268 volunteers of the prospective observational German Diabetes Study (GDS) with a known diabetes duration <1 year. Participants had similar age (36 years), sex distribution (41% female) and BMI (26 kg/m2) in both cohorts. Results The average HbA1c was 6.4 ± 0.8% in the GDS and 7.0 ± 1.1% in the DPV. Prevalence of hypertension (24%) was similar, while more DPV participants had dyslipidemia and lipid-lowering medication than GDS participants (77% vs. 41% and 7% vs. 2%, respectively; p<0.05). Prevalence of retinopathy and nephropathy was higher in DPV compared to GDS participants (10% vs. 3% and 18% vs. 7%, respectively; p<0.001). Conclusions Diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy are the most frequent complications in type 1 diabetes, affecting up to every 10th patient within the first year after diagnosis, underlining the need for more stringent risk factor management already at the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
