Examining perceptions and experiences of physical activity, body image and physical self-concept in at-risk adolescent girls
Creators: name: Carlson, Kaitlyn Amie

description: Body image dissatisfaction is highly prevalent among at-risk adolescent girls (i.e., those exposed to sexual exploitation, poor family support); yet, there are no specific considerations relating to body image, self-concept and physical activity (PA) for this sub-population. PA participation in adolescent girls is vital for overall health and wellbeing, and contributes to a positive body image and physical self-concept. This study examined the feasibility and potential effectiveness of an integrated PA and psychosocial program aimed at improving the body image and physical self-concept of at-risk adolescent girls. A pre-experimental, mix-methods design was utilised to collect data from at-risk adolescent girls (N=24) between the ages of 11-17 years, via survey research (n=22) and semi-structured interviews (n=16). PA perception and enjoyment were measured using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, and perceptions of physical self-concept and body image were measured using the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire. In addition, PA behaviours, experiences and preferences, as well as perceptions and awareness around body image and the sociocultural environment, were explored through the semi-structured interviews. Paired t-tests indicated significant changes, from baseline to post-intervention, in components of physical self-concept, specifically coordination (p=0.05), PA (p=0.01), strength (p=0.03), and endurance (p=0.01). Using thematic analysis, three themes emerged from the interview data, including: 1) Physical activity in the eyes of adolescent girls with results indicating that adolescent girls have an understanding of PA, different types of PA, and the associated enablers and barriers to participation for girls of this age; 2) Friendships and small group participation were highlighted as important for PA participation, specifically engaging in PA with peers, in a girls-only setting, increased enjoyment and was important for promoting support; and 3) Being healthy to be happy described health according to adolescent girls, which involved awareness of body image and the sociocultural environment. When designing programs for this population, input regarding activity choice, and the involvement of a supportive adult are key. An integrated PA and psychosocial intervention shows promise as a strategy for reaching and engaging at-risk adolescent girls, particularly when it is delivered in the supportive, small group environment.

description: Актуальность. Средний медицинский персонал является значимым звеном системы здравоохранения и занимает превалирующую долю в общей численности медицинских работников медицинских организаций. Наличие оптимальной обеспеченности населения данной категорией персонала влияет на доступность и качество оказания медицинской помощи населению. В настоящее время система здравоохранения в Российской Федерации характеризуется наличием устойчивой неукомплектованности кадрами среднего медицинского персонала. Цель работы. Выявить основные тенденции в динамике обеспеченности средним медицинским персоналом в Российской Федерации за период 2015-2019 гг. Материалы и методы. Для исследования использовались данные федеральной формы статистического наблюдения №30 «Сведения о медицинской организации». С целью использования однородных данных пятилетний период исследования выбран в виду наличия изменений порядка формирования отчетной формы с 2015 года. Использовался статистический метод в исследовании. Результаты и обсуждения. По итогам 2019 года численность работающих в системе здравоохранения Российской Федерации составляет 2 992 542 человека. Значительная доля (42,1%) в общей численности работников (включая немедицинский персонал) приходится на СМП и 62,3% СМП составляет от общей численности медицинского и фармацевтического персонала. Анализ данных за 5 лет свидетельствует о стойкой тенденции снижения обеспеченности населения средними медицинскими работниками. При достоверном прогнозе (R² = 0,861) показатель обеспеченности средним медицинским персоналом будет снижаться. В РФ выявлены значительные территориальные диспропорции обеспеченности населения СМП (на 10 000 населения) на протяжении всего изучаемого периода. Так, сравнительный анализ в разрезе округов РФ показал, что самый высокий показатель обеспеченности средним медицинским персоналом в Уральском ФО (92,40/000), самый низкий показатель в Центральном ФО (78,70/000). Укомплектованность физическими лицами СМП в 2019 году по Российской Федерации составила 74,4% (с учетом лиц без медицинского образования) при коэффициенте совместительства 1,3. Выводы. Динамика уровня обеспеченности среднего медицинского персонала в государственной системе здравоохранения РФ с 2015 по 2019 гг. показывает отток квалифицированных кадров со средним профессиональным образованием, который влияет на формирование дефицита персонала в медицинских организациях. Отток СМП наблюдается в медицинских организациях, оказывающих медицинскую помощь в амбулаторных условиях, так и в стационарных условиях. Абсолютное сокращение численности СМП наблюдается во всех федеральных округах, кроме Южного, Дальневосточного и Северо-Кавказского.

description: Removing noise from piecewise constant (PWC) signals, is a challenging signal processing problem arising in many practical contexts. For example, in exploration geosciences, noisy drill hole records need separating into stratigraphic zones, and in biophysics, jumps between molecular dwell states need extracting from noisy fluorescence microscopy signals. Many PWC denoising methods exist, including total variation regularization, mean shift clustering, stepwise jump placement, running medians, convex clustering shrinkage and bilateral filtering; conventional linear signal processing methods are fundamentally unsuited however. This paper shows that most of these methods are associated with a special case of a generalized functional, minimized to achieve PWC denoising. The minimizer can be obtained by diverse solver algorithms, including stepwise jump placement, convex programming, finite differences, iterated running medians, least angle regression, regularization path following, and coordinate descent. We introduce novel PWC denoising methods, which, for example, combine global mean shift clustering with local total variation smoothing. Head-to-head comparisons between these methods are performed on synthetic data, revealing that our new methods have a useful role to play. Finally, overlaps between the methods of this paper and others such as wavelet shrinkage, hidden Markov models, and piecewise smooth filtering are touched on.

description: Введение. Одним из базовых инструментов объективной оценки состояния общественного здоровья и поддержания оптимального баланса доступности и качества медицинской помощи является изучение уровня, структуры и динамики заболеваемости населения. Однако современные подходы к планированию объёмов медицинской помощи не учитывают динамически изменяемые факторы. Использование анализа распределения основных нозологий в зависимости от пола и возраста населения повышает эффективность планирования потребности в специализированной медицинской помощи. Цель. Анализ зависимости региональной первичной заболеваемости и потребности в специализированной колопроктологической помощи от возраста и пола проживающего в регионе населения. Методы. Использованы данные из единой региональной медицинской информационной базы данных Пермского края, а также сведения Территориального фонда обязательного медицинского страхования, медицинских статистических отчетов и отчета главного специалиста края. Результат и обсуждения. Проведенный анализ обращаемости с учетом возрастных периодов у мужчин демонстрировал умеренный восходящий тренд с участками ниже базового уровня в возрастных группах 20-24, 25-29 и 75-80 лет. Для анализа потребности в колопроктологической помощи целесообразно мужское население делить по возрасту на три группы: до 29 лет (49 обращений в год на 1000), 30-74 года (128 обращений в год на 1000) и старше 75 лет (68 обращений в год на 1000). Женское население целесообразно разделить на пять возрастных групп: до 29 лет (74,5 обращений в год на 1000), 30-44 года (186 обращений в год на 1000), 45-54 года (212 обращений в год на 1000) 55-74 года (432 обращений в год на 1000) и старше 75 лет (255 обращений в год на 1000). Выводы: Частота обращений за амбулаторной колопроктологической помощью существенно варьирует в зависимости от пола и возраста. При осуществлении планирования объемов специализированной медицинской помощи наряду с анализом уровня, структуры и динамики заболеваемости населения необходимо учитывать распределение основных нозологий в зависимости от половозрастного состава населения.

description: A model for the transmission of dengue disease is presented. It consists of eight mutually-exclusive compartments representing the human and vector dynamics. It also includes a control parameter (adulticide spray) in order to combat the mosquito. The model presents three possible equilibria: two disease-free equilibria (DFE) --- where humans, with or without mosquitoes, live without the disease --- and another endemic equilibrium (EE). In the literature it has been proved that a DFE is locally asymptotically stable, whenever a certain epidemiological threshold, known as the basic reproduction number, is less than one. We show that if a minimum level of insecticide is applied, then it is possible to maintain the basic reproduction number below unity. A case study, using data of the outbreak that occured in 2009 in Cape Verde, is presented.

description: In this paper we present an analysis of the physical and chemical conditions of the planetary nebula NGC 40 through spatially-resolved spectroscopic maps. We also introduce a new algorithm --2D_NEB-- based on the well-established IRAF nebular package, which was developed to enable the use of the spectroscopic maps to easily estimate the astrophysical quantities of ionised nebulae. The 2D_NEB was benchmarked, and we clearly show that it works properly, since it compares nicely with the IRAF nebular software. Using this software, we derive the maps of several physical parameters of NGC 40. From these maps, we conclude that Te[NII] shows only a slight temperature variation from region to region, with its values constrained between ~8,000 K and ~9,500 K. Electron densities, on the other hand, have a much more prominent spatial variation, as Ne[SII] values vary from ~1,000 cm^(-3) to ~3,000 cm^(-3). Maps of the chemical abundances also show significant variations. From the big picture of our work, we strongly suggest that analysis with spatial resolution be mandatory for more complete study of the physical and chemical properties of planetary nebulae.

description: IceCube was completed in December 2010. It forms a lattice of 5160 photomultiplier tubes that monitor a volume of ~ 1 cubic km in the deep Antarctic ice for particle induced photons. The telescope was designed to detect neutrinos with energies greater than 100 GeV. Owing to subfreezing ice temperatures, the photomultiplier dark noise rates are particularly low. Hence IceCube can also detect large numbers of MeV neutrinos by observing a collective rise in all photomultiplier rates on top of the dark noise. With 2 ms timing resolution, IceCube can track subtle features in the temporal development of the supernova neutrino burst. For a supernova at the galactic center, its sensitivity matches that of a background-free megaton-scale supernova search experiment. The sensitivity decreases to 20 standard deviations at the galactic edge (30 kpc) and 6 standard deviations at the Large Magellanic Cloud (50 kpc). IceCube is sending triggers from potential supernovae to the Supernova Early Warning System. The sensitivity to neutrino properties such as the neutrino hierarchy is discussed and simulations of tantalizing signatures, such as the formation of a quark star or a black hole as well as the characteristics of shock waves are presented. All results are preliminary.

Deciphering decomposition and the effects of disturbance in forest soil microbial communities with metagenomics and stable isotope probing
Creators: name: Wilhelm, Roland Conrad

Year: 2016

description: Forest industries are expected to bolster the renewable resource economy, but must contend with ecological challenges in maintaining the long-term fertility of forest plantation soils, and technological challenges in converting forest biomass into industrially relevant sources of carbon and energy. This thesis advances research related to both, first by describing the broad changes in soil microbial communities in the decades following timber harvesting, their implications for soil processes and the influence of biomass retention for mitigation (Chapter 3) and, second, by conducting the first comprehensive culture-independent survey of lignocellulolytic organisms in forest soils to expand knowledge of their diversity and catabolic capabilities (Chapter 4). Analysis of over 1,300 bacterial (16S rRNA gene) and fungal (ITS region) pyrotag libraries demonstrated consistent changes in microbial communities at harvested sites across North America, such as i) the increase of desiccation- and heat-tolerant organisms, ii) the general decline of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi with a rise of select EM genera (Suillus and Thelephora), iii) the moderation of population shifts by organic matter retention and iv) changes in the functional character of harvested soils, including reduced methanotrophic populations and cellulolytic activity. Biogeographical differences in community structure revealed the potential for variation in the impacts of harvesting. Overall, a number of taxonomic groups were identified that may be important indicators for assessing the long-term impact of timber harvesting. Stable isotope probing revealed the degradation of model hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin substrates by specialized taxa, active on a sole substrate, and groups capable of degrading all three plant polymers, such as members of Burkholderiales and Caulobacteraceae. Bacterial lignin-degraders were more active than fungi in soil microcosms, represented by taxa with characterized lignolytic capability (Sphingobacteriaceae and Sphingomonadaceae) and novel taxa, such as members of Elusimicrobia and Acidobacteria. Differences in lignocellulolytic populations were observed among ecozones and soil layers. Mineral soils harboured a greater proportion of poorly characterized functional taxa and represent reservoirs of unexplored catabolic diversity. Metagenome assembly was ~3 to 20-fold higher as a result of SIP, providing a trove of sequence data containing carbohydrate- and lignin-active enzymes from lignolytic and cellulolytic taxa for future characterization.

description: The LEP experiments give a lower bound on the neutralino mass of about 46 GeV which, however, relies on a supersymmetric grand unification relation. Dropping this assumption, the experimental lower bound on the neutralino mass vanishes completely. Recent analyses suggest, however, that in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), a light neutralino dark matter candidate has a lower bound on its mass of about 7 GeV. In light of this, we investigate the mass sensitivity at the ILC for very light neutralinos. We study slepton pair production, followed by the decay of the sleptons to a lepton and the lightest neutralino. We find that the mass measurement accuracy for a few-GeV neutralino is around 2 GeV, or even less if the relevant slepton is sufficiently light. We thus conclude that the ILC can help verify or falsify the MSSM neutralino cold dark matter model even for very light neutralinos.

description: We have derived an X-ray luminosity function using parallax-based distance measurements of a set of 12 dwarf novae, consisting of Suzaku, XMM-Newton and ASCA observations. The shape of the X-ray luminosity function obtained is the most accurate to date, and the luminosities of our sample are concentrated between ~10^{30}-10^{31} erg s^{-1}, lower than previous measurements of X-ray luminosity functions of dwarf novae. Based on the integrated X-ray luminosity function, the sample becomes more incomplete below ~3 x 10^{30} erg s^{-1} than it is above this luminosity limit, and the sample is dominated by X-ray bright dwarf novae. The total integrated luminosity within a radius of 200 pc is 1.48 x 10^{32} erg s^{-1} over the luminosity range of 1 x 10^{28} erg s^{-1} and the maximum luminosity of the sample (1.50 x 10^{32} erg s^{-1}). The total absolute lower limit for the normalised luminosity per solar mass is 1.81 x 10^{26} erg s^{-1} M^{-1}_{solar} which accounts for ~16 per cent of the total X-ray emissivity of CVs as estimated by Sazonov et al. (2006).

description: Резюме Актуальность Происходящие процессы реструктуризации сети медицинских организаций и их реорганизации снижают доступность квалифицированной медицинской и профилактической помощи сельским жителям, что в современных условиях актуализирует проблему необходимости коррекции сложившейся системы медицинского обслуживания сельского населения, возвращения главенствующей роли центральных районных больниц в обеспечении сельских жителей всеми видами медицинской помощи. Цель. Оценить динамику изменения сети центральных районных и районных больниц и их мощности. Материал и методы Данные Росстата, Минздрава России, ФГБУ «ЦНИИОИЗ» Минздрава России. Использованы аналитический, статистический методы и сравнительного анализа. Результаты Число центральных районных больниц за период 2015-2019 годы в целом по РФ сократилось на 101 (на 7,1%), из них в сельской местности – на 61 (на 10,2%), число коек в них – на 28200 (на 13,7%). Число районных больниц осталось неизменным. Доля центральных районных и районных больниц в сельской местности снизилась с 42,5% в 2015 году до 42,2% в 2019 г. Эти больницы стали более маломощными. Общее число коек в центральных районных и районных больницах сократилось более, чем на 30 тыс. Значительно сократились не только койки узко специализированных профилей, но и терапевтические, хирургические, педиатрические и койки для беременных и рожениц. Причем наибольшая доля сокращенных коек отмечается в субъектах, имеющих превалирующую долю сельского населения. Обсуждение. Показатель обеспеченности сельского населения койками в районных (центральных) больницах снижался более быстрыми темпами, чем показатель обеспеченности койками в целом всего населения, несмотря на сокращение численности сельского населения и уменьшение его доли. Создающиеся на базе крупных центральных районных больниц межмуниципальные центры специализированной помощи не могут заменить каждодневную регулярную деятельность районных (центральных) больниц по организации квалифицированной медицинской помощи сельскому населению. Выводы. Следует остановить дальнейшее сокращение числа центральных районных и районных больниц и коек в них. С целью повышения качества и доступности квалифицированной медицинской помощи сельским жителям и жителям малых поселков и городов необходимо предусмотреть масштабное строительство указанного типа больниц по современным типовым проектам, обеспечив их необходимым оборудованием и квалифицированными кадрами.

description: Accurately measuring the atmospheric coherence time is still an important problem despite a variety of applicable methods. The Multi-aperture scintillation sensor (MASS) designed for the vertical profiling of optical turbulence, also provides a measurements of coherence time, but its results were found to be biased. Hence there is a need for a more robust method to determine $τ_0$. The effect of smoothing the stellar scintillation by a finite exposure of the detector is considered. The short exposure regime is described and its limits are defined. The re-analysis of previous measurements with the MASS is performed in order to test the applicability of this approach in real data processing. It is shown that most of the actual measurements satisfy the criteria of short exposures. The expressions for the mean wind speeds $\bar V_2$ in the free atmosphere from the measurement of the scintillation indices are derived for this regime. These values provide an estimate of the atmospheric coherence time $τ_0$ without the need of empirical calibration. The verification of the method based on real measurements of the resulting $τ_0$ are in good agreement with independent methods.

description: We consider a general system of interacting random loops which includes several models of interest, such as the textitSpin O(N) model, textitrandom lattice permutations, a version of the textitinteracting Bose gas in discrete space and of the textitloop O(N) model. We consider the system in ℤd, d ≥ 3, and prove the occurrence of macroscopic loops whose length is proportional to the volume of the system. More precisely, we approximate ℤd by finite boxes and, given any two vertices whose distance is proportional to the diameter of the box, we prove that the probability of observing a loop visiting both is uniformly positive. Our results hold under general assumptions on the interaction potential, which may have bounded or unbounded support or introduce hard-core constraints.

description: We study chaotic orbits of conservative low--dimensional maps and present numerical results showing that the probability density functions (pdfs) of the sum of $N$ iterates in the large $N$ limit exhibit very interesting time-evolving statistics. In some cases where the chaotic layers are thin and the (positive) maximal Lyapunov exponent is small, long--lasting quasi--stationary states (QSS) are found, whose pdfs appear to converge to $q$--Gaussians associated with nonextensive statistical mechanics. More generally, however, as $N$ increases, the pdfs describe a sequence of QSS that pass from a $q$--Gaussian to an exponential shape and ultimately tend to a true Gaussian, as orbits diffuse to larger chaotic domains and the phase space dynamics becomes more uniformly ergodic.

Bayesian models of learning and generating inflectional morphology
Creators: name: Allen, Blake H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In many languages of the world, the form of individual words can undergo systematic variation in order to express concepts including tense, gender, and relative social status. Accurate models of these inflectional systems, such as verb conjugation and noun declension systems, are indispensable for purposes of both language research and language technology development. This dissertation presents a theoretical framework for understanding and predicting native speakers’ use of their languages’ inflectional systems. I propose a probabilistic interpretation of the task that speakers face when inferring unfamiliar inflected forms, and I argue in favor of a Bayesian approach to modeling this task. Specifically, I develop the theory of sublexical morphology, which augments the Bayesian approach with intuitive methods for calculating necessary probabilities. Sublexical morphology also possesses the virtue of computational implementability: this dissertation defines all data structures used in sublexical morphology, and it specifies the procedures necessary to use a model for morphological inference. I provide along with this dissertation a Python package that implements all the classes and methods necessary to perform inference with a sublexical morphology model. I also describe an implemented learning algorithm that allows induction of sublexical morphology models from labeled but unparsed training data. As empirical support for my core claims, I describe the outcomes of two behavioral experiments. Evidence from a test of Icelandic speakers’ inflection of novel words demonstrates that speakers are able to additively make use of information from multiple provided inflected forms of a word, and evidence from a similar test on Polish speakers suggests that speakers may be limited to this additive way of combining such pieces of information. In clear support of a Bayesian interpretation of morphological inference, both experiments additionally demonstrate that prior probabilities—understood as reflecting lexical frequencies of different groupings of words—play a major role in speakers’ use of their inflectional systems. This is shown to be true even when influence from prior probabilities results in speakers apparently deviating from exceptionless lexical patterns in those systems.

description: Актуальность исследований, связанных с качеством оказываемой медицинской помощи по профилю «косметология», детерминирована проблемой интенсификации судебных процессов по делам о возмещении как материального, так и морального вреда, а также повышением внимания общественных организаций и средств массовой информации к этим вопросам. Целью исследования стала оценка качества оказания медицинской помощи по профилю «Косметология» на основе анализа первичной медицинской документации, результатов социологического опроса пациентов с представлением оценки их позиции, отражающей степень удовлетворенности полученной медицинской услугой. Методы исследования. Исследование было проведено с использованием ретроспективного анализа 200 случаев оказания косметологической помощи и социологического опроса выборочной совокупности в объеме 315 единиц наблюдения. Для статистической обработки полученных результатов был использован стандартный пакет «MS Excel 2013». Для обработки данных и систематизации результатов применялись аналитический и статистический методы. Результаты. При оценке результатов внутреннего контроля качества медицинской помощи, была выявлена структура дефектов в заполнении форм первичной медицинской документации. Наиболее часто зафиксированным дефектом стал неполно собранный анамнез заболевания (57,0%). Второе место заняли нарушения в формулировании диагноза, в части соответствия его МКБ-10 (17,3%). На третьем месте (16,8%) дефекты заполнения паспортной части амбулаторной карты. В 1,9% карт отсутствовало добровольное информированное согласие пациента. Другие дефекты составили 7,0%. Дефекты оформления медицинской документации чаще встречались в медицинских организациях частной формы собственности (на 47,0%). Результаты анкетирования позволили выявить следующую тенденцию: большинство пациентов (81,4%) предпочитают обращаться в частные медицинские организации, мотивируя это возможностью большего выбора медицинских услуг, а также более высоким сервисом, государственному же сектору здравоохранения отдают предпочтение около 20% опрошенных. Выводы. Анализ оценок внутреннего контроля качества медицинской помощи по профилю «косметология», позволил выявить риски для медицинских организаций, связанные с соблюдением прав пациентов при оказании им медицинской помощи надлежащего качества. На наш взгляд, разработка унифицированной формы медицинской карты, учитывающей особенности медицинской помощи по профилю «косметология», может способствовать нивелированию рисков и предотвращению возникновения конфликтных ситуаций.

description: The Casimir-Lifshitz force is calculated between two inhomogeneous composite slabs, each made of a homogeneous matrix with spherical metallic inclusions. The effective dielectric function of the slabs is calculated using several effective medium approximations and we compare the resulting forces as a function of slab separation and filling fraction. We show that the choice of effective medium approximation is critical in making precise comparisons between theory and experiment. The role that the spectral representation of the effective medium plays in making a Wick rotation to the complex frequency axis is also discussed.

description: We employ the lattice QCD data on Taylor expansion coefficients to extend our previous parametrization of the equation of state to finite baryon density. When we take into account lattice spacing and quark mass dependence of the hadron masses, the Taylor coefficients at low temperature are equal to those of hadron resonance gas. Thus the equation of state is smoothly connected to the hadron resonance gas equation of state at low temperatures. We also show how the elliptic flow is affected by this equation of state at the maximum SPS energy.

Hybrid Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms in Small Molecule De Novo Design

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Optimal Graph Design (OGD) is a problem frequently occurring in several common applications ranging from designing communication and transportation networks to discovering new drugs. More often than not the graphs to be designed need to satisfy multiple, conflicting, objectives e.g. total length, complexity or other shape and property limitations. In addition to problem specific criteria, the methods proposed to solve the problem need to consider several issues related to the representation of the solutions and the manipulation of graphs. These graph-structure specific issues coupled with the multi-objective nature of OGD form a challenging problem of increased complexity with wide applications in several research fields. Our research proposes, MEGA, an algorithmic framework for solving the problem of multi-objective optimal graph design for labeled, undirected graphs. The method uses the multi-objective evolutionary graph, a graph-specific optimization metaheuristic that combines evolutionary algorithms with graph theory and local search techniques exploiting domain-specific knowledge, to efficiently explore the feasible search space and obtain multiple equivalent compromising solutions. The algorithm introduces a novel niching mechanism that takes into account both parameter and objective space solution diversity. Morevoer, the method implements a self-adaptive approach to control and ensure appropriate local search use. In the experimental section we present results for the problem of designing molecules satisfying multiple pharmaceutically relevant objectives. The results suggest that the method can provide a variety of valid, interesting graph solutions. In comparisons with commonly used algorithms, MEGA is found to produce statistically significant better results. GRAPH DESIGN USING KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN,

A review and analysis of Canadian Indigenous mining policy
Creators: name: Zimmerling, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In recent years, certain Indigenous governments and organizations have established their own mining codes and policies to address mineral development on their territory. Aside from the policies themselves, there is a lack of research exploring the emergence of these policies, the contents and implications of mineral resource development in Canada. The researcher was engaged by the Tłı̨chǫ Government to bridge this knowledge gap in support of the development of the Tłı̨chǫ Mineral Strategy. Through this process the Tłı̨chǫ First Nation became the case study for this research. In addition to the Tłı̨chǫ First Nation case study, the research reviewed twelve additional Indigenous mining policies. The goal of this evaluation was to: explore the differences between adopted policy approaches and goals; understand how the policy approach taken relates to the nature of the legislation to which it connects; and determine whether there are enabling frameworks that drive or launch the creation of an Indigenous mining policy. The research revealed that there is there is no clear standard of practice established for the creation of an Indigenous mining policy; however, there are three primary drivers for policy creation: specific mining events, assertion of rights and land claims agreements. These drivers, along with the relationship established between the Indigenous government or organization and the Crown, influence the structure and contents of the policy. The outcomes of this research have contributed to the development of the Tłı̨chǫ Mineral Strategy and can be used to inform other Indigenous governments and organizations looking to develop their own mining policy. Recommendations for future work include understanding the response of industry to these policies and how Indigenous mining policies integrate with provincial, territorial or federal mining policy.
