description: The importance of establishing valid language shift trends regarding Canada's French-speaking populations and the historical comparability of Canadian census language data are considered. Based on an empirical theory, comparability breaks in language data since 1971 are identified and evaluated. The proportions of Canadian-born persons of French mother tongue, and of French home language, to the total population of relevant birth regions are then adjusted separately, to reduce the impact of comparability breaks. The resulting language shift trends regarding the French-speaking populations are portrayed using language vitality indices for reference cohorts. It is found that for the whole of Canada, and for the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, the vitality of French among the Canadian-born rebounded in 2001, after consistently decreasing from 1971 to 1991. It is also observed that for other regions, the vitality of French went down continuously, indicating a sustained and aggravated assimilation over the past 30 years.

description: Интенсивно развивающаяся биотехнология основана на широком использовании ферментов, продуцируемых различными микроорганизмами. Ключевым фактором в пищевых технологиях являются ферментные препараты, различающиеся по субстратной специфичности и механизму действия. На основе мониторинга современного состояния проблемы и результатов исследований систематизированы данные о свойствах ферментных препаратов (ФП) и эффективности их применения; научно обоснованы основные этапы в методологии контроля качества, безопасности и подлинности ФП для пищевой промышленности. В основу теоретического обоснования подбора ферментной системы положены знания о составе сырья и наличии в нем субстратов для биокаталитического действия ферментов, а также прогнозируемые результаты о необходимой степени деструкции и предполагаемом составе продуктов гидролиза. Установлена взаимосвязь качества и безопасности ферментных препаратов, методов оценки их эффективности и условий применения в различных отраслях пищевой промышленности с качеством целевой продукции. Показано, что для использования ФП в пищевой промышленности наряду с проведением исследований их безопасности и качества необходимо определение состава ферментов, содержащихся в препарате, и уровня их ферментативной активности. Обобщены основные принципы разработки методов определения активности ферментов и факторы, влияющие на скорость ферментативной реакции. Отмечено, что для разработки научно обоснованных и экспериментально подтвержденных норм расхода ферментных препаратов в пищевых производствах, для проведения сравнительных исследований уровня активности ФП следует использовать стандартизированные методики, введенные в ГОСТы Р и межгосударственные стандарты.

description: Submarine canyons, topographic features incising the continental slope, vary in both shape and size. The dynamics of short canyons have been observed and described in the field, in the laboratory, and with numerical simulations. Flow within long canyons, such as Juan de Fuca canyon, located between Vancouver Island and Washington State in the Pacific Northwest, is less well understood. Physical models of both long and short canyons have been constructed to understand the upwelling dynamics in long canyons and how upwelling changes, as compared with the dynamics of short canyons, at low Rossby number. Stratification and rotation, both important parameters in determining the dynamics in canyons, can be controlled and scaled accordingly for replication of oceanic conditions. The physical model is spun up to an initial rotation rate, and the flow is forced by increasing the rotation rate over the equivalent of several days. Flow visualization is used to determine the strength and location of upwelling, the strength and mechanisms generating vorticity, as well as the differences between the flow within the long and short canyons. The pattern of upwelling between the two canyons is significantly different in the horizontal with upwelling occurring through the canyon head in the short canyon and upwelling occurring close to the mouth along the downstream rim in the long canyon. At high Rossby number, upwelling is similar in both the long and short canyon and is driven by advection. However, as Rossby number decreases, the flow in the long canyon is more strongly affected by the strong convergence of the isobaths near the canyon than by advection alone.

The directionality of the nuclear transport of the influenza A genome is driven by selective exposure of nuclear localization sequences on nucleoprotein

description: Background: Early in infection, the genome of the influenza A virus, consisting of eight complexes of RNA and proteins (termed viral ribonucleoproteins; vRNPs), enters the nucleus of infected cells for replication. Incoming vRNPs are imported into the nucleus of infected cells using at least two nuclear localization sequences on nucleoprotein (NP; NLS1 at the N terminus, and NLS2 in the middle of the protein). Progeny vRNP assembly occurs in the nucleus, and later in infection, these are exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Nuclear-exported vRNPs are different from incoming vRNPs in that they are prevented from re-entering the nucleus. Why nuclear-exported vRNPs do not re-enter the nucleus is unknown. Results: To test our hypothesis that the exposure of NLSs on the vRNP regulates the directionality of the nuclear transport of the influenza vRNPs, we immunolabeled the two NLSs of NP (NLS1 and NLS2) and analyzed their surface accessibility in cells infected with the influenza A virus. We found that the NLS1 epitope on NP was exposed throughout the infected cells, but the NLS2 epitope on NP was only exposed in the nucleus of the infected cells. Addition of the nuclear export inhibitor leptomycin B further revealed that NLS1 is no longer exposed in cytoplasmic NP and vRNPs that have already undergone nuclear export. Similar immunolabeling studies in the presence of leptomycin B and with cells transfected with the cDNA of NP revealed that the NLS1 on NP is hidden in nuclear exported-NP. Conclusion: NLS1 mediates the nuclear import of newly-synthesized NP and incoming vRNPs. This NLS becomes hidden on nuclear-exported NP and nuclear-exported vRNPs. Thus the selective exposure of the NLS1 constitutes a critical mechanism to regulate the directionality of the nuclear transport of vRNPs during the influenza A viral life cycle.

 Now Aphelocephala leucopsis leucopsis (Gould, 1841). See Mayr, 1986b: 458, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 219–220.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 683484, adult female, collected at Jay Waterhole, MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory, Australia, on 3 September 1913, by S.A. White (no. 1325). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews did not catalog this specimen but gave Jay Waterhole as the type locality. AMNH 683484 is the only specimen in AMNH from that locality, and White’s label is marked by Mathews: ‘‘ Type of A. castaneiventr[is] whitei (1914) A.A.R. vol. ii, p. 100’’. It also bears a Rothschild type label.
 By the time this specimen was collected, Mathews was no longer cataloging many of his specimens. However, White (1914: 434) noted that this form was ‘‘ Distributed very generally over the central regions. We collected specimens soon after leaving the head of the [rail] line and up to the MacDonnell Ranges. ’’ Mathews gave the range of whitei as ‘‘ Central Australia’ ’, and five additional Mathews specimens collected by White on this expedition are considered paratypes: AMNH 683485, Charlotte Waters, 30 September 1913; AMNH 683486, east of Deep Well, 22 September 1913; AMNH 683487, Finke River, 21 August 1913; AMNH 683488, Crown Point, 16 August 1913; and AMNH 683489, Xmas Creek, 12 August 1913. There is one paratype in SAMA, collected on Ellery Creek, 19 September 1913 (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.).
 White (1914: 413) said that Jay Waterhole was on Jay Creek, 23.52S, 133.27E (USBGN, 1957b), west of Simpson Gap in the MacDonnell Ranges. Mayr (1986b: 458) recognized whitei, but Schodde and Mason (1999: 220) considered it a synonym of nominate leucopsis.

 Now Aphelocephala leucopsis castaneiventris (Milligan, 1903). See Mayr, 1986b: 459, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 219–220.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 683454, adult female, collected midway between the Minilya River and the lower Gascoyne River, Western Australia, Australia, on 15 September 1916, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave the collecting locality as the Minilya River and 15 September 1916 as the date the type was collected, but he failed to indicate the sex of the type. There are two specimens of this species from the ‘‘Minilya River’’ that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The above specimen bears the correct data and is also marked ‘‘Type’’ in Mathews’ hand. It had not previously borne a type label. The paratype, a male, was collected on a date in September 1916 that is not easily read, but appears not to be 15, the day that had been entered onto the Rothschild Collection label. Mathews did not catalog any specimens as late as 1916.
Carter (1920: 685) was on the Minilya River from 30 August to 12 September. After leaving there, ‘‘when forty miles south of the Minilya, I ‘stopped off’ five days at a station owned by Mr. Harry Campbell …’’. In his notes on this species, Carter (1921: 65) said: ‘‘Several small parties of Murchison Whitefaces were seen in mid-September, 1916, in scrubby country midway between the Lower Gascoyne and Minilya rivers, where I had never previously seen any of these birds.’’ Both of these specimens were evidently obtained during the 5 days he was on H. Campbell’s station. He did not say how many specimens he obtained.

 Now Aphelocephala pectoralis (Gould, 1871). See Mayr, 1986b: 459, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 221.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 683491, adult male, collected on Todmorden Station, 27.04S, 134.49E (Times Atlas), 60 mi west of Oodnadatta, South Australia, Australia, on 2 July 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1586). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Two Mathews specimens of Aphelocephala pectoralis from Todmorden came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, both collected on 2 July 1914 by S.A. White. AMNH 683491 bears a yellow ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating it was illustrated in Mathews (1923c: pl. 494, middle fig., opp. p. 37, text pp. 37–38). On p. 38, the figured male, with data matching the above specimen, was said to be the type of todmordeni, thus designating it the lectotype. This specimen had not previously been recognized as a type. The second specimen, AMNH 683492, unsexed, collected by White at Todmorden on the same date, is a paralectotype; this specimen lacks a tail. Neither specimen was cataloged by Mathews. There are additional paralectotypes in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.).

Measurement and modelling of haptic textures
Creators: name: Guruswamy, Vijaya Lakshmi
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Haptic texture allows the user to feel the fine surface details of an object. In the absence of haptic texture, irrespective of the appearance of a virtual object, the object feels smooth. Haptic texture conveys these surface details of an object in terms of material variables - roughness and compliance. Roughness can be inferred from irregularities in the surface structure, whereas compliance can be determined from the deformation of the object when a force is applied. To model realistic haptic textures, one needs to incorporate these material variables from real world samples. Haptic texture modelling, which accurately represents the material variables from real world samples, can be a challenging task. We introduce a vibrotactile model to represent haptic textures and a statistical approach to estimate compliance from real world measurements. We measure the material variables from real life objects by simply stroking the surface with a hand-held probe. We claim that our vibrotactile model is simple and can represent both surfaces with identifiable features and stochastic nature. Our compliance estimation is carried out by analyzing the linear relationship between force and acceleration. The estimated compliance coefficients serve as a good heuristic model to render the stiffness of textures.

description: Background: Street-involved youth contend with an array of health and social challenges, including elevated rates of blood-borne infections and mortality. In addition, there has been growing concern regarding high-risk drug use among street-involved youth, in particular injection drug use. We undertook this study to examine the prevalence of injection drug use and associated risks among street-involved youth in Vancouver, Canada. Methods: From September 2005 to November 2007, baseline data were collected for the At-Risk Youth Study (ARYS), a prospective cohort of street-recruited youth aged 14 to 26 in Vancouver, Canada. Using multiple logistic regression, we compared youth with and without a history of injection. Results: The sample included 560 youth among whom the median age was 21.9 years, 179 (32%) were female, and 230 (41.1%) reported prior injection drug use. Factors associated with injection drug use in multivariate analyses included age ≥ 22 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.10–1.28); sex work involvement (AOR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.35–3.50); non-fatal overdose (AOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.38–3.20); and hepatitis C (HCV) infection (AOR = 22.61, 95% CI: 7.78–65.70). Conclusion: These findings highlight an alarmingly high prevalence of injection drug use among street-involved youth and demonstrate its association with an array of risks and harms, including sex work involvement, overdose, and HCV infection. These findings point to the need for a broad set of policies and interventions to prevent the initiation of injection drug use and address the risks faced by street-involved youth who are actively injecting.

 Epthianura albifrons westralensis Mathews, 1912a: 341 (Wilson’s Inlet, South-West Australia).
 Now Epthianura albifrons (Jardine and Selby, 1828). See Mayr, 1986b: 461, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 346.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577471, adult male, collected at Wilson Inlet, 35.00S, 117.24E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 515), Western Australia, Australia, on 20 March 1910, by F. Lawson Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4660) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Whitlock’s label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews gave the range of this form as ‘‘ West Australia’ ’. I have found seven paratypes that were cataloged by Mathews before the 1912 publication date of the name: AMNH 577469 (Mathews no. 5234) and AMNH 577470 (5233), females, from Day Dawn, collected by Whitlock and obtained from WAM by Mathews; AMNH 577472 (4659) and AMNH 577473 (4789), females, from Wilson Inlet, collected by Whitlock; and AMNH 577474 (2116), male, from Albany, AMNH 577476 (2115), male, and AMNH 577481 (2117), female, from Broomehill, collected by Tom Carter. The latter specimen bears a yellow ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 439, lower right fig., opp. p. 323, text pp. 324, 330). Four additional specimens, AMNH 577477–577480, collected by Carter at Broomehill in August and October 1910 are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog.

description: Medical image segmentation is a crucial task in medical image processing, with applications in diagnosis, treatment planning, and image-guided surgery. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool for this task, with various architectures and frameworks being developed. This paper provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art in medical image segmentation, focusing on anatomical structures in CT scans. It introduces deep learning and its relevance to medical imaging, reviews open-source datasets used for segmentation, and explores various architectures and frameworks, including U-Net, nnUNet framework, and transformer-based models like UNETR and Swin UNETR. Experiments are conducted to compare the performance of the established nnU-Net with a newer architecture, Swin-UNet, and estimate the number of training images required for satisfactory results. The paper also discusses current trends and future directions in the field, including transformer-based models, attention mechanisms, inter-rater reliability, self-supervised learning, and domain adaptation
Mirroring Arabic Metaphors and Values Through Subtitling As-Hab Wala Aaz

description: This MA thesis presents a translation from Arabic into English of Netflix’s first Arabic movie, As-hab Wala Aaz " أعز وال أصحاب“, a remake of the Italian movie Perfetti Sconosciuti. The thesis includes a commentary and analysis of the issues related to cultural references, specifically metaphors, which pose difficulties during the process of subtitling the movie and the issue of sensitive expressions. In the movie, actors and actresses are from two different countries, and this means that the viewer has to contend with different dialects and cultural references. The commentary shows how Newmark’s translating strategies (1988) help produce subtitles that transfer the source cultural discourse. In order to solve the first issue of subtitling metaphors, I used four main strategies: converting a metaphor to its sense, reproducing the same image in the target language (TL), replacing the image in the source language with a standard image in the target language, and deleting a metaphor. Another issue addressed is sensitive expressions. As a remake of Perfetti Sconosciuti, the movie tackles sensitive issues and wordings that do not commonly exist in Arabic movies. Therefore, I followed Al-Adwan’s (2015) euphemisation model suggested strategies for movie subtitles to find solutions while subtitling these sensitive expressions. I used three main strategies: semantic misrepresentation, omission and widening. Subtitling this movie was challenging due to the overlapping dialogues, timing, and technical constraints. However, by drawing on Newmark’s model (1988) and using the euphemisation model (2015), I found that the strategies suggested by both models are applicable when attempting to produce subtitles that could be suitable for co-viewing.

description: Background. The Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale (NEWS) and its abbreviated form (NEWS-A) assess perceived environmental attributes believed to influence physical activity. A multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) conducted on a sample from Seattle, WA showed that, at the respondent level, the factor-analyzable items of the NEWS and NEWS-A measured 11 and 10 constructs of perceived neighborhood environment, respectively. At the census blockgroup (used by the US Census Bureau as a subunit of census tracts) level, the MCFA yielded five factors for both NEWS and NEWS-A. The aim of this study was to cross-validate the individual- and blockgroup-level measurement models of the NEWS and NEWS-A in a geographical location and population different from those used in the original validation study. Methods A sample of 912 adults was recruited from 16 selected neighborhoods (116 census blockgroups) in the Baltimore, MD region. Neighborhoods were stratified according to their socio-economic status and transport-related walkability level measured using Geographic Information Systems. Participants self-completed the NEWS. MCFA was used to cross-validate the individual- and blockgroup-level measurement models of the NEWS and NEWS-A. Results The data provided sufficient support for the factorial validity of the original individual-level measurement models, which consisted of 11 (NEWS) and 10 (NEWS-A) correlated factors. The original blockgroup-level measurement model of the NEWS and NEWS-A showed poor fit to the data and required substantial modifications. These included the combining of aspects of building aesthetics with safety from crime into one factor; the separation of natural aesthetics and building aesthetics into two factors; and for the NEWS-A, the separation of presence of sidewalks/walking routes from other infrastructure for walking. Conclusion This study provided support for the generalizability of the individual-level measurement models of the NEWS and NEWS-A to different urban geographical locations in the USA. It is recommended that the NEWS and NEWS-A be scored according to their individual-level measurement models, which are relatively stable and correspond to constructs commonly used in the urban planning and transportation fields. However, prior to using these instruments in international and multi-cultural studies, further validation work across diverse non-English speaking countries and populations is needed.

 Now Epthianura aurifrons Gould, 1838. See Mayr, 1986b: 462, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 343.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577611, adult male, collected at Lake Way, 26.50S, 120.25E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 509), Western Australia, Australia, on 19 August 1909, by F. Lawson Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2132) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Whitlock’s label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 440, lower right fig., opp. p. 340, text pp. 341, 344), where it is confirmed as the type of flavescens. There are five additional specimens cataloged by Mathews at the same time, all collected by Whitlock: paratypes AMNH 577612, 577613, 577614, and 577615, Mathews numbers 2133–2136, females from Lake Way, collected in July and August 1909; and AMNH 577616 (Mathews no. 2131), male from Nannine Lake, 24 June 1909. AMNH 577612 also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label; however, the Lake Way female described on p. 341, evidently this specimen, is not there said to be figured. It is possible that this yellow label should have been tied on the type of Acanthiza flaviventris Ashby (now Epthianura aurifrons Gould, see above).
 Mathews gave the range of this form as ‘‘ West Australia’ ’. Two additional paratypes from Day Dawn were cataloged by Mathews before the description was published: AMNH 577617 (Mathews no. 5231), male, and AMNH 577617 (5230), female, both collected on 26 July 1903. AMNH 577610, a male from Minilya River collected by Carter on 20 August 1911, is a probable paratype also. I did not find it listed in Mathews’ catalog, but other specimens from Carter’s 1911 collection in Western Australia were designated as types by Mathews (1912a: 311, e.g., Gerygone tenebrosa christophori); thus, this specimen was probably also in his hand when flavescens was described.
Whitlock (1910) described the itinerary and collecting localities of his 1909 expedition to the East Murchison district.

description: Background: Depressive disorders are highly prevalent and of significant societal burden. In fall 2004, the 'Alberta Depression Initiative' (ADI) research program was formed with a mission to enhance the mental health of the Alberta population. A key expectation of the ADI is that research findings will be effectively translated to appropriate research users. To help ensure this, one of the initiatives funded through the ADI focused specifically on knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE). The objectives of this project were first to examine the state of the KTE literature, and then based on this review and a set of key informant interviews, design a KTE strategy for the ADI. Methods: Face to face interviews were conducted with 15 key informants familiar with KTE and/or mental health policy and programs in Alberta. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the constant comparison method. Results: This paper reports on findings from the qualitative interviews. Respondents were familiar with the barriers to and facilitators of KTE as identified in the existing literature. Four key themes related to the nature of effective KTE were identified in the data analysis: personal relationships, cultivating champions, supporting communities of practice, and building receptor capacity. These recommendations informed the design of a contextually appropriate KTE strategy for the ADI. The three-phased strategy involves preliminary research, public workshops, on-going networking and linkage activities and rigorous evaluation against pre-defined and mutually agreed outcome measures. Conclusion: Interest in KTE on the part of ADI has led to the development of a strategy for engaging decision makers, researchers, and other mental health stakeholders in an on-going network related to depression programs and policy. A similarly engaged process might benefit other policy areas.

description: Background: Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are increasingly used to assess the effectiveness of interventions to improve health outcomes or prevent diseases. However, the efficiency and consistency of using different analytical methods in the analysis of binary outcome have received little attention. We described and compared various statistical approaches in the analysis of CRTs using the Community Hypertension Assessment Trial (CHAT) as an example. The CHAT study was a cluster randomized controlled trial aimed at investigating the effectiveness of pharmacy-based blood pressure clinics led by peer health educators, with feedback to family physicians (CHAT intervention) against Usual Practice model (Control), on the monitoring and management of BP among older adults. Methods We compared three cluster-level and six individual-level statistical analysis methods in the analysis of binary outcomes from the CHAT study. The three cluster-level analysis methods were: i) un-weighted linear regression, ii) weighted linear regression, and iii) random-effects meta-regression. The six individual level analysis methods were: i) standard logistic regression, ii) robust standard errors approach, iii) generalized estimating equations, iv) random-effects meta-analytic approach, v) random-effects logistic regression, and vi) Bayesian random-effects regression. We also investigated the robustness of the estimates after the adjustment for the cluster and individual level covariates. Results Among all the statistical methods assessed, the Bayesian random-effects logistic regression method yielded the widest 95% interval estimate for the odds ratio and consequently led to the most conservative conclusion. However, the results remained robust under all methods – showing sufficient evidence in support of the hypothesis of no effect for the CHAT intervention against Usual Practice control model for management of blood pressure among seniors in primary care. The individual-level standard logistic regression is the least appropriate method in the analysis of CRTs because it ignores the correlation of the outcomes for the individuals within the same cluster. Conclusion We used data from the CHAT trial to compare different methods for analysing data from CRTs. Using different methods to analyse CRTs provides a good approach to assess the sensitivity of the results to enhance interpretation.
