description: Epidemiology of Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of spring barley is relatively little understood. In a five-year study, we assessed quantitative resistance to FHB in an assortment of 17 spring barley genotypes in the field in southern Germany. To this end, we used soil and spray inoculation of plants with F. culmorum and F. avenaceum. This increased disease pressure and provoked genotypic differentiation. To normalize effects of variable weather conditions across consecutive seasons, we used a disease ranking of the genotypes based on quantification of fungal DNA contents and multiple Fusarium toxins in harvested grain. Together, this allowed for assessment of stable quantitative FHB resistance of barley in several genotypes. Fungal DNA contents were positively associated with species-specific Fusarium toxins in single years and over several years in plots with soil inoculation. In those plots, plant height limited FHB; however, this was not observed after spray inoculation. A multiple linear regression model of recorded weather parameter and fungal DNA contents over five years identified time periods during the reproductive phase of barley, in which weather strongly influenced fungal colonization measured in mature barley grain. Environmental conditions before heading and late after anthesis showed strongest associations with F. culmorum DNA in all genotypes, whereas for F. avenaceum, this was less consistent where we observed weather-dependent associations, depending on the genotype. Based on this study, we discuss aspects of practical resistance breeding in barley relevant to improve quantitative resistance to FHB and associated mycotoxin contaminations. © 2022 by the authors.

Molecular mechanisms and nutritional factors influencing post-stroke affective disorders
Creators: name: Pascoe, Michaela Celeste
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The biological mechanisms underlying stroke-related affective symptomatology, depressive disorder, anxiety and hyperactive delirium, were studied. The hypothesis that stroke-associated degeneration of cellular networks is linked to stroke-associated behavioural and affective disorders were explored. The effects of polyunsaturated-fatty-acids and homocysteine, capable of mediating cellular-degeneration, in the aetiology stroke-associated affective symptomatology, were additionally studied. The findings suggest that stroke-induced cell-death is associated with the presentation of depressive, anxious and hyperactive symptomatology, and that nutritional factors which influence the processes of cell-death, may also influence these behavioural outcomes. However, a possible detrimental effect of nutritional supplementation, on risk of bleeding, was identified.
Leveraging the role of community pharmacists in the prevention, surveillance, and treatment of opioid use disorders
Creators: name: Bach, Paxton

description: The global rise in opioid-related harms has impacted the United States severely. Current efforts to manage the opioid crisis have prompted a re-evaluation of many of the existing roles in the healthcare system, in order to maximize their individual effects on reducing opioid-associated morbidity and preventing overdose deaths. As one of the most accessible healthcare professionals in the US, pharmacists are well-positioned to participate in such activities. Historically, US pharmacists have had a limited role in the surveillance and treatment of substance use disorders. This narrative review explores the literature describing novel programs designed to capitalize on the role of the community pharmacist in helping to reduce opioid-related harms, as well as evaluations of existing practices already in place in the US and elsewhere around the world. Specific approaches examined include strategies to facilitate pharmacist monitoring for problematic opioid use, to increase pharmacy-based harm reduction efforts (including naloxone distribution and needle exchange programs), and to involve community pharmacists in the dispensation of opioid agonist therapy (OAT). Each of these activities present a potential means to further engage pharmacists in the identification and treatment of opioid use disorders (OUDs). Through a careful examination of these approaches, we hope that new strategies can be adopted to leverage the unique role of the community pharmacist to help reduce opioid-related harms in the US.
Democracy after deliberation: Bridging the constitutional economicsdeliberative democracy divide

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.
subject: Political Science, General.

description: This dissertation addresses a debate about the proper relationship between democratic theory and institutions. The debate has been waged between two rival approaches: on the one side is an aggregative and economic theory of democracy, known as constitutional economics, and on the other side is deliberative democracy. The two sides endorse starkly different positions on the issue of what makes a democracy legitimate and stable within an institutional setting. Constitutional economists model political agents in the same way that neoclassical economists model economic agents, that is, as self-regarding, rational maximizers; so that evaluations of democratic legitimacy and stability depend on the extent to which the design of institutional rules and practices maximize individual utility by promoting efficient schemes of collective choice. Deliberative democrats, on the other hand, understand political agents as communicative reason-giving subjects who justify their preferences and positions on issues that jointly affect them in a process of consensus-directed discourse, or deliberation; so that evaluations of democratic legitimacy and order depend on the degree to which institutional norms and practices promote deliberation and draw upon deliberated public judgment. I argue that despite the numerous incompatibilities between constitutional economics and deliberative democracy---which amount to a 'deep divide'---an opportunity to produce a genuine synthesis of the two approaches arises inasmuch as it is possible to overcome several points of opposition in their separate research programmes. The central thesis of the dissertation is that it is possible to construct a bridge spanning the divide between constitutional economists and deliberative democrats, and that Dewey and Bentley's transactional view can facilitate this bridge-building project. Pursuant to this end, the points of opposition between the research programmes are mediated by way of five concepts which, on balance, favor deliberative democracy and its feasible institutionalization. In charting a transactional middle way between the two programmes, deliberative institutional designers should be empowered to achieve two objectives: (i) to integrate deliberative practices into new and existing democratic institutions and (ii) to heed the critical insights and caveats of constitutional economists, who have identified genuine limitations to realizing the deliberative ideal in modern constitutional democracies.

description: Au lendemain de son independance, l'Estonie a entamé un processus de construction de la nation en excluant en grande partie la minorité russophone immigrée au cours de la période soviétique. L'intégration européenne de l'Estonie à parallèlement favorise la libéralisation de ses politiques minoritaires. La langue constituant le principal marqueur identitaire en Estonie, notre thèse s'intéressé plus particulièrement à l'évolution des politiques linguistiques estoniennes entre 1988 et 2004. Alors que la libéralisation des politiques linguistiques officielles laisse entendre une meilleure intégration de la minorité russophone, nos recherches démontrent que les politiques linguistiques officieuses (idéologies linguistiques, application des politiques linguistiques officielles, attitudes et comportements linguistiques) sont demeurées rigides, ce qui permettrait d'expliquer en partie pourquoi la minorité russophone demeure exclue dans plusieurs contextes. L'exclusion linguistique étant un concept peu traité dans la littérature, notre recherche basée sur des données empiriques tirées de sources secondaires s'accompagne d'une réflexion sur les formes d'exclusion linguistique et le sens que nous pouvons leur donner selon une approche normative adaptée au cas estonien.
Individual and contextual factors high-ability women understand as being associated with the development of their eating disorder.
Creators: name: Cuffaro, Maria Assunta.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.

description: The purpose of this study is to understand how individual characteristics and traits in high ability women with eating disorders interact with contextual factors such as the family, social context and culture. The participants in the study are four high ability women. Three at the time of data collection, have been suffering from an eating disorder and one participant has been in recovery for a number of years. The qualitative design of the study allows for the emergence of common themes among the participants. Through in-depth interviews, experience sampling methodology and artifacts an understanding emerges of the individual and contextual factors that each perceived was associated with the development of her eating disorder. Results of the study indicate that high ability women possess the following individual factors that contribute to the development of their eating disorder: caring and nurturing others but not themselves, hypersensitivity, over-excitability, perfectionism, harm avoidance, reward dependence, shame, guilt and a sense of ineffectiveness and the lack of an identity. The most significant finding of the study is that individual factors in all the women were discordant with the family context in which they were raised. Specifically, the family features of emotional inexpression, a high achievement orientation, an enmeshed style of parenting and a chaotic environment. The poorness of fit between each woman and her family was associated with the development of her eating disorder. Finally what emerged from the present study was that the reciprocal interaction among individual and contextual factors explained the development of each woman's eating disorder. The concluding chapters present and discuss the common themes that emerged regarding the factors which interacted in each woman's life, leading her to turn to an eating disorder in order to cope. Recommendations are made to educators, psychologists and parents to work to create a goodness of fit in the lives of all women, in particular those with high abilities.
The caregiving experience: A comparison of adult daughters of community dwelling parents with and without dementia.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: This case-control study compared the caregiving experience of adult daughters of parents with and without dementia who resided in the community. A synthesis of diverse theoretical perspectives, developed by the researcher, provided direction for this study. The data used in the analysis were drawn from the 1991-92 Canadian Study of Health and Aging. A representative sample of 106 daughters of parents with dementia and 45 daughters of parents without dementia provided information regarding the context, stressors, and the level and correlates of depressive symptomatology associated with provision of care to parents. Daughters of parents with dementia tended to be slightly older, single or widowed, co-resided with their parent and used more formal care services when compared to daughters of parents without dementia. Differences between groups were also found regarding the stressors they experienced while providing care. More specifically, daughters of parents with dementia assisted with more personal and instrumental care. Their parent's functional status was more impaired and they contended with more behavioural disturbances and experienced greater burden than daughters of parents without dementia. There were no statistical differences between groups with respect to mean scores on the CES-D scale. However, fully one quarter of daughters of parents with dementia and one fifth of daughters of parents without dementia achieved scores indicative of at least a mild level of depressive symptomatology. Finally, self-reported health, health interferences, the need for additional formal care services and feelings of caregiver burden were associated with depressive symptoms for both groups of daughters. In addition, for daughters of parents with dementia, depressive symptoms were associated with the provision of personal care tasks, behavioural disturbances and the functional status of parents.

Dans un deuxieme temps, differentes perspectives des cultures masculines sont presentees comme tentatives d'explication a la violence masculine domestique. Cette recherche exploratoire tente d'examiner les differentes explications fournies par les hommes sur la violence masculine domestique tout en tissant les liens avec les differences perspective. Il est souhaite que les entrevues aupres des participants permettent d'identifier des pistes de prevention et d'intervention sociale aupres des garcons et des hommes. Un premier objectif de cette recherche est celui d'analyser la problematique de la violence conjugale a partir du vecu des hommes. Un deuxieme objectif de cette recherche est celui d'explorer les valeurs, les attitudes et les roles masculins afin de voir s'il existe des liens possibles entre les masculinites et la violence masculine domestique. Il se degage trois grandes conclusions a partir des entrevues. La premiere implique le besoin d'un changement dans les facons et les moyens pour parler aux hommes de la violence masculine. La deuxieme conclusion est directement reliee au silence. Les hommes ne semblent pas percevoir cette problematique comme un sujet tres important ou pertinent a leur vecu si on en juge par le nombre toujours restreint d'hommes qui s'impliquent et qui la denoncent. La troisieme conclusion s'enchai ne avec la precedente puisqu'il s'agit de la peur des hommes a denoncer la violence masculien domestique. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: This article argues that the process of developing the regulations of commercial deep seabed mining operations presents a window of opportunity to actively and systematically address existing uncertainties regarding the environmental effects of seabed mining activities. To this end, the developing process of regulations could, for example, enable the ISA to actively engage in generating and synthesizing information, make it publicly available for scrutiny, and consequentially apply this gained body of knowledge to its decision-making procedures at all relevant stages. Here, we assess to what extent international law and existing policy support the practice such a proactive knowledge management system. Premised on this, we suggest some potential measures and institutional adjustments that would help spur the effort to strategically target and fill knowledge gaps. We aver that these adjustments, if implemented together, would substantially enable the ISA to increase the quality and legitimacy of its outputs, and thus, to meet its legal and political responsibilities. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

The effects of planktivorous fish on phytoplankton community structure.
Creators: name: Proulx, Marc.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: The response of phytoplankton to nutrient loading and planktivorous fish additions was investigated in large experimental enclosures installed in lac Croche at the Station de Biologie des Laurentides de l'Universite de Montreal. During the summer period (July and August), phytoplankton biomass significantly increased with fertilization and the presence of fish in the deep, thermally stratified, enclosures. The presence of fish increased algal biomass, particularly under the fertilized conditions. In the shallow, thermally mixed enclosures, total phytoplankton biomass was significantly affected by fertilization but not by the presence of fish. The taxonomic composition at both the species and the division levels differed in all treatments. In the deep stratified enclosures, both the addition of nutrient (p .001) and fish (p =.003) favored a large increase in Chlorophyta biomass which was composed of 1 or 2 species. Pyrrhophytes increased slightly with the presence of fish. In the shallow enclosures, nutrient additions significantly affected the division composition of total algal biomass, whereas presence of fish did not. The presence of planktivorous fish influenced phytoplankton community structure by modulating total algal biomass, the distribution of biomass according to size classes and the overall taxonomic composition. The impacts of fish were more numerous in the deep than in the shallow enclosures. Thermal stratification may thus be an important factor influencing the impact of planktivorous fish on phytoplankton. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed enormous psychological discomfort and fear across the globe, including Germany. Objectives: To assess the levels of COVID-19 associated psychological distress and fear amongst Southern German population, and to identify their coping strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire was conducted in healthcare and community settings in the region of Ulm, Southern Germany. Assessment inventories were the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), which were valid and reliable tools. Results: A total of 474 Individuals participated in the study. The mean age was 33.6 years, and 327 (69%) were females. Most participants (n = 381, 80.4%) had high levels of psychological distress, whereas only 5.1% had high levels of fear, and two-thirds of participants showed higher levels of coping. Moderate to very high levels of psychological distress were associated with being female, living alone, distress due to employment changes, experiencing financial impact, having multiple co-morbidities, being a smoker, increased alcohol use over the previous 6 months, contact with COVID-19 cases and healthcare providers for COVID-19-related stress. Individuals who were ≥60 years, lived with non-family members, had co-morbidities and visited a healthcare provider had higher levels of fear. Higher levels of education and income showed better coping amongst participants. Conclusion: Psychological distress was very high during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany and associated with low levels of coping. This study identified vulnerable groups of people, who should be given priorities for addressing their health and wellbeing in future crisis periods.

The Role of CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein Beta (C/EBPβ) in Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cells after Injury and in Cancer Cachexia

description: CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Proteins are a family of six bZIP transcription factors. C/EBPβ, the second member cloned, has been implicated in adipogenesis and osteogenesis, but the role of C/EBPβ in myogenesis remained undetermined. In adults, muscle-resident stem cells, called satellite cells (SCs), have the greatest propensity to regenerate the skeletal muscle. We found that C/EBPβ is expressed in SCs, and its expression progressively declines upon differentiation. Forcing the expression of C/EBPβ in myoblasts enhanced the expression of the SC marker Pax7, and repressed MyoD and the myogenic genes expression, resulting in the inhibition of myogenesis. Using a SC-specific conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model, we found that cKO myoblasts have decreased expression of Pax7, and we identified Pax7 as a direct target of C/EBPβ action. In vivo, excision of C/EBPβ resulted in muscle hypertrophy at the juvenile age, and adult cKO animals had enhanced muscle regeneration following BaCl2 muscle injury. Moreover, the number of Pax7+ cells in cKO animals decreased following BaCl2 injury. Upon performing a second injury into cKO animals, we demonstrate a decreased muscle fiber size and an exacerbation of the percentage number of SCs. While cKO animals repaired well a BaCl2 injury, regeneration failed in cKO animals following cardiotoxin (CTX) injury. We demonstrate that IL-1β expression is enhanced in muscle after CTX injury when compared to BaCl2, and we found that IL-1β can stimulate the expression of C/EBPβ in myoblasts. Ectopic C/EBPβ expression can protect myoblasts from apoptosis when triggered with thapsigargin, whereas cKO myoblasts are more sensitive to apoptosis. Using cancer cachexia as a model of chronic inflammation, we found that the expression of C/EBPβ is stimulated in the SCs of cachectic animals, and this correlated with a decrease in regenerative capacity. The severity of muscle wasting was not improved in cKO animals, but rather cKO SCs were lost to apoptosis. Together, this study establishes a protective role for C/EBPβ in muscle SCs in conditions of inflammation.

description: This study aims at estimating errors to be accounted for in atmospheric inversions of methane (CH4) emissions at the European scale. Four types of errors are estimated in the concentration space over the model domain and at selected measurement sites. Furthermore, errors in emission inventories are estimated at country and source sector scales. A technically ready method is used, which is implemented by running a set of simulations of hourly CH4 mixing ratios for 2015 using two area-limited transport models at three horizontal resolutions with multiple data sets of emissions and boundary and initial conditions as inputs. The obtained error estimates provide insights into how these errors could be treated in an inverse modelling system for inverting CH4 emissions over Europe. The main results show that sources of transport errors may better be controlled alongside the emissions, which differs from usual inversion practices. The average total concentration error is estimated at 29â€ ppb. The assessed error of total CH4 emissions is 22% and emission errors are heterogeneous at sector (23-49%) and country scales (16-124%), with largest errors occurring in the waste sector due to uncertainties in activity data and emission factors and in Finland due to uncertainties in natural wetland emissions. © 2021 The Author(s).

Discovering the law again: John Grisham, Ed Stevens, and the postmaterial lawyer
Creators: name: Bainbridge, Jason
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper uses three films adapted from the novels of John Grisham, 'The Firm', 'The Rainmaker' and 'A Time To Kill', as well as associated television series like Ed to map a vernacular theory of what I have termed the 'postmaterial' lawyer. Grisham's work has been the focus of much critique by legal scholars who suggests he hates lawyers, is critical of the concept of law, and provides 'outlandishly' happy endings. I will challenge these critiques and, in tracing the history of legal thrillers and trial movies, suggest that Grisham and the related texts' explorations of how a just practitioner can operate in an unjust system constitute a powerful interrogation of what law can be.

description: This thesis studies the application of speech recognition and synthesis technologies, agents and virtual environments in the design of a digital assistant, helping a user of web-based e-commerce applications. A useful component of the user interface in an electronic commerce system is a speech user interface. This interface will contain a user's agent and serve an active role in recognizing a user's speech input as well as synthesizing the required speech sentences needed to be conveyed. The Speech GUI implemented in this thesis complements the web browser during virtual world e-commerce. The virtual world being researched in the MCRLab is a shopping mall, where users can enter a store and find sales agents ready to assist them. Each person within this virtual environment is represented with the use of an agent and avatar. The virtual environment is a multi-agent system. These agents (also represented by avatars) can navigate through the virtual environment such as a shopping mall, and interact with each other. Once dialog has occurred between a user's agent and the store's sales-agent and an item of interest is found, this item will be displayed in the virtual mall. The virtual environments technology, with the help of avatars will allow us to have good voice QoS coupled with synchronized avatar lip movements. The ultimate purpose of the Speech GUI is to assist a user in finding items of interest within a virtual shopping store. Also, when the items of interest are found, this Speech GUI will ask the web browser to display the objects within the virtual store. Communication for this is achieved using the HLA/RTI available standard. The second type of communication associated within the Speech GUI uses the KQML protocol to communicate with other peoples' agents.

description: Ankyrin B (AnkB) is an adaptor and scaffold for motor proteins and various ion channels that is ubiquitously expressed, including in the brain. AnkB has been associated with neurological disorders such as epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder, but understanding of the underlying mechanisms is limited. Cav2.1, the pore-forming subunit of P/Q type voltage gated calcium channels, is a known interactor of AnkB and plays a crucial role in neuronal function. Here we report that wildtype AnkB increased overall Cav2.1 levels without impacting surface Cav2.1 levels in HEK293T cells. An AnkB variant, p.S646F, which we recently discovered to be associated with seizures, further increased overall Cav2.1 levels, again with no impact on surface Cav2.1 levels. AnkB p.Q879R, on the other hand, increased surface Cav2.1 levels in the presence of accessory subunits α2δ1 and β4. Additionally, AnkB p.E1458G decreased surface Cav2.1 irrespective of the presence of accessory subunits. In addition, we found that partial deletion of AnkB in cortex resulted in a decrease in overall Cav2.1 levels, with no change to the levels of Cav2.1 detected in synaptosome fractions. Our work suggests that depending on the particular variant, AnkB regulates intracellular and surface Cav2.1. Notably, expression of the AnkB variant associated with seizure (AnkB p.S646F) caused further increase in intracellular Cav2.1 levels above that of even wildtype AnkB. These novel findings have important implications for understanding the role of AnkB and Cav2.1 in the regulation of neuronal function in health and disease.
Beauty and Cabinet Nomination: Is There a Gender Bias?
Creators: name: Uzun, Mara

Subjects: ministerial nomination

description: In this thesis, I aim to answer the following questions: (1) is there a relationship between the gender of the nominator and the beauty of the ministers that he or she selected, and (2) do nominators select more attractive ministers of the opposite sex. I compare and contrast the physical beauty of ministers of three cabinets nominated by a male prime minister and three cabinets nominated by a female prime minister. My descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis, in which I control for the age of the nominator, the physical attractiveness of the nominator, the professional experience of the nominator, the age of the minister and the margin of victory of the nominator`s party, reveal interesting results. I find that both male and female prime ministers nominate better-looking women, and that this tendency is even stronger and slightly more pronounced for female nominators than it is for male nominators.
A translation analysis of Ingeborg Bachmann's "Simultan": Narration, focalization and intertextuality in the stream of consciousness narrative.
Creators: name: Meek, Sherri.

description: Ingeborg Bachmann's prose did not begin to be critically examined and appreciated by German scholars until a few years after her death in 1973. By the late 1980s, her work was being translated into English. Her position in the canon of German literature as a representative postwar writer and a precursor to the feminist movement calls for serious consideration of the English translations of her work, since they will represent her writing and be widely used by English-speaking Germanistik students and scholars. The focus of the present analysis is the title story from Bachmann's last collection of stories published in 1972. "Simultan" is a stream of consciousness narrative with a simultaneous interpreter as protagonist. The complexity of the narrative structure, including the integration of multilingual elements, poses many problems for translation. This thesis locates Bachmann in her historical context and considers the influence linguistic philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Walter Benjamin had on her writing. Identifying these influences sets the groundwork for translation analysis. Since Bachmann's narrative technique reveals a complex web of shifts in narration and focalization, I propose a schema based on narratological and translation theory to unravel the narrative structure of "Simultan." Using this theoretical framework, I then analyze Mary Fran Gilbert's translation "Word for Word." Given the important role multilingualism plays in the story, I also consider intertextual issues and the challenge multilingualism poses for translation. The analysis reveals certain deforming tendencies that produce a different focus in the translation than in the original. A successful translation solution for the problem of multilingualism is proposed.
Exegesis and the structure of the thematic sermon in Du Fay's Florentine motets.
Creators: name: Russell, Kathleen.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Music.

description: This study compares two widely diffused genres from the fifteenth century, the motet and the thematic sermon. The analysis of the text, the musical structure, and the mode of Du Fay's three Florentine motets, Mirandas parit, Salve flos, and Nuper rosarum, will reveal connections between the structure of the sermon model and that of the motets. As well, analysis of the motets will reveal the use of certain musical gestures which enhance the meaning of the text and establish thematic connections essential to the effective presentation of a message in the music. The comparison of the motet genre and the sermon model supports the underlying hypothesis of the study, that the intent of the composer was in fact to deliver a message in both the text and the music.

description: The environmental impacts of ammonia (NH3) in ambient air have become more evident in the recent decades, leading to intensifying research in this field. A number of novel analytical techniques and monitoring instruments have been developed, and the quality and availability of reference gas mixtures used for the calibration of measuring instruments has also increased significantly. However, recent inter-comparison measurements show significant discrepancies, indicating that the majority of the newly developed devices and reference materials require further thorough validation. There is a clear need for more intensive metrological research focusing on quality assurance, intercomparability and validations. MetNH3 (Metrology for ammonia in ambient air) is a three-year project within the framework of the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP), which aims to bring metrological traceability to ambient ammonia measurements in the 0.5-500 nmol mol-1amount fraction range. This is addressed by working in three areas: (1) improving accuracy and stability of static and dynamic reference gas mixtures, (2) developing an optical transfer standard and (3) establishing the link between high-accuracy metrological standards and field measurements. In this article we describe the concept, aims and first results of the project.Quelle: http://iopscience.iop.org
