The Visiting Centre : An Ecological Embassy for Victoria Harbour
Creators: name: Shave, McKean Kent
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: In the face of an escalating climate crisis and unprecedented rates of biodiversity loss, issues to which the built environment contributes significantly, this thesis proposes a new regenerative architectural process committed to the advocacy of more-than-human life. The project explores how architecture might not simply minimize harm, or exist sustainably, but actively participate in ecological repair and relational transformation. I propose a reimagining of the traditional visitors centre, not as a remote outpost within a protected park or preserve, but as an embedded, urban, and accessible ecological embassy. A space that does not serve human visitors to the natural world, but rather welcomes ecological presences into human environments. Through a reintroduction of Eelgrass, Garry Oak and Tidal Mudflat ecologies, and the creation of habitat-specific architectural interventions from the atomized materials of colonial architecture, the visiting centre functions as a living system, rather than a static monument. These designs, created in collaboration with community members, embrace decay, succession, and adaptability.

description: Objectives: The present study evaluated the association of fear of COVID-19 with dental anxiety, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress), as well as exploring the mediating role of dental anxiety in the association of fear of COVID-19 with OHRQoL and psychological distress. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents in high schools of Qazvin city (Iran) from March-June 2021, recruited through a two-stage cluster sampling method. All the adolescents completed a self-administered survey assessing (i) fear of COVID-19, (ii) depression, anxiety and stress, (iii) OHRQoL, and (iv) dental anxiety. Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate all the hypothesised associations, and the model fit was estimated. Results: A total of 2429 adolescents participated in the study. The conceptual model fitted the data well. Fear of COVID-19 had a direct effect on dental anxiety (B = 0.316; bias-corrected bootstrapping 95% CI = 0.282, 0.349), depression (B = 0.302; bias-corrected bootstrapping 95% CI = 0.259, 0.347), anxiety (B = 0.289; bias-corrected bootstrapping 95% CI = 0.246, 0.334), stress (B = 0.282; bias-corrected bootstrapping 95% CI = 0.237, 0.328), and OHRQoL (B = −0.354; bias-corrected bootstrapping 95% CI = −0.530, −0.183). Also, dental anxiety mediated the association of fear of COVID-19 with depression, anxiety stress, and OHRQoL. Conclusions: High levels of fear of COVID-19 were associated with high levels of dental anxiety and poorer OHRQoL. Moreover, fear of COVID-19 was positively associated with anxiety, depression and stress. Increased levels of dental anxiety were also associated with increased anxiety, stress, depression, and poorer OHRQoL.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive dementia for which current drugs demonstrate limited effectiveness. GM604 (GM6) is a synthetic oligopeptide containing 6 amino acids developed by Genervon Biopharmaceuticals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether GM6 has effects consistent with an AD drug candidate. We show that short-term (2 week) treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with GM6 led to significant post-treatment declines in plasma tau (P = 0.005). Consistent with this, treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with GM6 repressed expression of the MAPT mRNA encoding tau protein. Microarray analysis further indicated that AD-associated genes with mitochondrial functions are repressed by GM6 (e.g., NDUFB1, NDUFA12, COX5A). In contrast, several genes linked to AD by genetic studies and associated with amyloid precursor protein catabolism were up-regulated by GM6 (e.g., SORL1, PICALM). Finally, we show that GM6 partially rescues survival of rat cortical neurons treated with post-mortem CSF from AD patients. These findings suggest multiple mechanisms by which GM6 may be effective for AD, including the attenuation of mitochondrial dysfunction and reduction of neurofibrillary tangle or amyloid plaque accumulation. Further studies of GM6 in the context of AD appear justified and may provide further insights into potential mechanisms of action.

The Behemoth : Where Plastic Becomes Flesh and Architecture Remembers
Creators: name: Leung, Yin Sing
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: We live in a world of crisis, our planet is unwell, and our future hangs in uncertainty. Plastic emerged as a revolutionary material in the post-World War II era. With its affordability, versatility, and durability, it quickly became a cornerstone of modern consumerism and the “throwaway” culture that defined mid-20th-century living. For decades, plastic was celebrated as a wonder material, a symbol of progress and convenience. Today, we are confronted with its darker legacy: plastic polluting our oceans, microplastics infiltrating ecosystems and even human bodies. Once revered, plastic is now vilified as a symbol of environmental degradation and unsustainable living. But let’s face an uncomfortable truth: we cannot entirely stop certain global phenomena once and all immediately. Populations continue to rise, cities continue to expand, and plastic remains embedded in modern life. The question is not whether we can eliminate plastic or not, but how we can right our wrong and rethink its role in our world. I believe design holds the power to challenge conventions and propose new paths forward. While architecture alone cannot solve all our crises, it offers a unique opportunity for intervention. What if we could transform plastic into a building material, one that is accessible, economical, and sourced locally from recycled waste? What if cities reclaimed ownership of their discarded plastics, creating a circular system where waste becomes a true local material? This thesis explores the potential of plastic as a material for architecture, and perhaps, as a tool for reimagining our relationship with waste, materials, and the built environment. It further explore how specific architectural interventions might influence psychology, perception, behavior, lifestyles, social hierarchies, and the political and socioeconomic fabric of urban landscapes.

Understanding inceldom: An adapted framework for analysing the incel community within an online radicalisation approach

Year: 2024
Subjects: incels

online radicalisation

description: The ‘involuntary celibate’, or men who have been unable to find romantic or sexual relationships with women despite wanting to, have congregated in the online incel community. Though initially supportive in nature, the community has become a hotbed for (violent) online misogyny. My ongoing virtual ethnographic research focuses on the nature of the incel community and its members, and how the community plays a role in radicalising people in terms of internalizing and expressing incel ideology and misogyny online. To this end, this contribution applies Bayerl et al.’s Radicalisation-Factor Model and its four interlinked factors—the individual, the environment, the radical groups and ideology, and technologies—to the incel community. This adjusted framework finds its basis in existing insights from domains such as (online) radicalisation, social psychology, scholarship of gender, masculinity and misogyny, and is further inspired by ongoing non-participatory observations on incel forums. By approaching the incel phenomenon from different perspectives, this framework has the aim of providing a holistic understanding of the incel community as well as highlighting the importance of the interplay of various individual, ideological, contextual and technological features in affecting online radicalisation.

description: With the rapid increase of waste throughout the country, the government of Indonesia has enacted regulations targeting waste reduction using religious sentiment. This is employed in Malang City’s “Waste Bank of Malang” (WBM). This study aims to analyze the impact of waste banks on socio-economic progress, and to assess their efficacy in accomplishing this objective from the Maqasid al-Shariʻah perspective. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach and uses both primary and secondary data sources. This study found that the operation of WBM contributes considerably to the community’s economic and social well-being. Likewise, the WBM has success-fully managed waste by reducing, reusing, and recycling it as it is collected from customers. The customers receive financial incentives from the waste bank in return for providing recycled waste to a specialized firm under a profit-sharing (PLS) contract. As per the findings of the study, the rationale of the waste bank aligns with the Maqasid al-Shariʻah and the Islamic finance contract of PLS arrangements.

Year: 2016

description: Background: Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is FDA cleared to treat epilepsy, depression, and obesity. Because VNS (tVNS) is a non-surgical form of VNS, targeting the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN) which conveys sensory information from a small area of skin of the external ear. tVNS may have autonomic effects,  improving heart rate variability (HRV), which may make it an effective tool for treating anxiety and other conditions. Clancy et al. (2014) found that tVNS increased HRV; however, Napadow et al. (2012) did not. We seek to explore whether tVNS has autonomic effects in psychiatric outpatients by measuring HRV in patients receiving tVNS.

description: Why do we care for seniors the way we do? How have historical perceptions shaped current understandings of aging and care? And what transformative approaches can guide how we design for senior care in urban environments? In response to the global rise in aging populations, this project repositions senior care as senior autonomy, focusing on Richmond City Centre, British Columbia. Grounded in the “Right to the City” and a relational understanding of autonomy, it explores how urban environments can support inclusive and dignified aging through multiscalar design interventions at the neighborhood, street, and site scale.

description: Abstract Background We describe the spatial distribution of Echinococcus multilocularis in its main definitive host, the red fox, and the distribution of human cases of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) within a highly endemic focus in southern Germany (13.7–19.9/100,000 in 1992–2018). Human cases were unequally distributed within the endemicity focus. The purpose of the study was to test whether this is reflected in the small-scale distribution of E. multilocularis in foxes. Methods Three areas with contrasting numbers of human cases were selected within the counties of Ravensburg and Alb-Donau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. From 2018 to 2020, a total of 240 fox carcasses were obtained from traditional hunters in these areas. Carcasses were necropsied and examined for the presence of intestinal helminths. The statistical analysis was performed with SAS version 9.4, and the geo-mapping with QGIS version 3.16.0 Hannover. Results The prevalence of E. multilocularis in foxes was 44/106 (41.5%) in area I (commune Leutkirch and environs), 30/59 (50.8%) in area II (commune Isny and environs), and 31/75 (41.3%) in area III (commune Ehingen and environs). From 1992 to 2018, a total of nine human cases of alveolar echinococcosis were recorded in area I, five cases were recorded in study area III, and no cases were recorded in area II. No statistically significant differences between the areas were observed ( P  > 0.05) for intestinal infections with E. multilocularis , and no apparent spatial correlation with the small-scale distribution of human cases was found. Concerning other zoonotic helminths, Toxocara spp. were equally common, with prevalence of 38.7%, 47.4% and 48.0%, respectively, while the frequency of Alaria alata varied among the study areas (0.0–9.4%), probably reflecting the specific habitat requirements for the establishment of its complex life cycle. Conclusions Echinococcus multilocularis is highly prevalent in foxes in all the studied areas. The varying number of human AE cases within these areas should therefore be caused by factors other than the intensity of parasite transmission in foxes.

The Moss Way : Bio-adaptive reuse through urban mosses
Creators: name: Ip, Hei Lam Kylie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Once you notice moss, it suddenly seems to appear everywhere. Mosses are among the most widespread and abundant life forms on Earth. With over 12,000 species, these tiny, ancient plants are a testament to the diversity and adaptability of life. Mosses encourage us to slow down and be more attentive to the smaller wonders of our world. Their fascinating roles underscore principles of reciprocity and mutual support, concepts that are increasingly vital in the practice of landscape architecture. This project works at the timescales of moss to learn from its material and ecological potential. With the future demolition of the Vancouver Aquatic Centre as a case study, The Moss Way proposes bio-adaptive reuse as a strategy for cultivating, sustaining, and celebrating this little giant in our urban landscapes.

description: Besides the many advantages of oral drug administration, challenges like premature drug degradation and limited bioavailability in the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) remain. A prolonged residence time in the GIT is beneficial for enhancing the therapeutic outcome when treating diseases associated with an increased intestinal clearance rate, like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we synthesized rod-shaped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or hyaluronic acid (HA) and investigated their bio-distribution upon oral administration in vivo. The negatively charged, non-toxic particles showed different accumulation behavior over time in healthy mice and in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced intestinal inflammation. PEGylated particles were shown to accumulate in the lower intestinal tract of healthy animals, whereas inflammation promoted retention of HA-functionalized particles in this area. Overall systemic absorption was low. However, some particles were detected in organs of mice with DSS-induced colitis, especially in the case of MSN-PEG. The in vivo findings were connected to surface chemistry-related differences in particle adhesion on Caco-2/Raji and mucus-producing Caco-2/Raji/HT29 cell co-culture epithelial models in vitro. While the particle adhesion behavior in vivo was mirrored in the in vitro results, this was not the case for the resorption results, suggesting that the in vitro model does not fully reflect the erosion of the inflamed epithelial tissue. Overall, our study demonstrates the possibility to modulate accumulation and retention of MSNs in the GIT of mice with and without inflammation through surface functionalization, which has important implications for the formulation of nanoparticle-based delivery systems for oral delivery applications.

description: The Russian economy is emerging, meaning that natural resources play a dominant role in economic development. Given the considerable volatility in resource prices, we investigate the volatility spillovers among policy uncertainty, international oil prices, exchange rate, stock index and metal prices covering the period of 2 July 2008 to 15 May 2020 for the Russian economy applying Dynamic Connectedness based on Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregression (TVP-VAR). Our empirical investigation demonstrates that gold price, Russian policy uncertainty, oil price and stock index are net volatility contributors, whereas palladium, platinum, silver and exchange rate are net volatilities receivers. Market capitalisation and silver market are found to be the highest net contributor and net receiver, respectively. The palladium appears as a net volatility receiver initially, just after the global financial crisis. The Russian economic policy uncertainty appears to be the dominant volatility contributor from 2008 to 2014, but onward it turned to be a net volatility receiver. Over the year 2014, gold price was the prominent volatility contributor to another market when the oil price dropped significantly. The total connectivity of the markets are highly anchored with several exogenous shocks, including economic sanction, adoption of floating exchange rate, oil price plunge. Our empirical findings provide several policy implications to portfolio managers and Russian regional stakeholders.

Avian Almanac : A farmer’s field guide to bird-friendly agriculture in Delta BC
Creators: name: McPartlin, Katie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This project explores the intersection of agriculture and biodiversity in Delta, British Columbia, one of Canada’s most productive farming regions and a key biodiversity area used by migratory and breeding birds, (DFWT 2024). As conventional farming practices continue to reshape this landscape, many species face habitat loss. Rather than proposing a site-specific design intervention, this graduate project results in a field guide for farmers that promotes bird-friendly land management. This project highlights the role landscape architects can play as translators between ecological research and applied land management. By making conservation recommendations more accessible, context-sensitive, and species-specific, this work contributes to ongoing efforts to integrate biodiversity goals within the realities of active farmland.

description: This article analyzes alcohol policy documents through the framework of ontological politics developed by science and technology studies theorists John Law and Annemarie Mol. Specifically, it analyzes seven Australian and Canadian documents from 2006 to 2020, focusing on different enactments of alcohol as a harm-producing substance that requires regulation. The article identifies and discusses two co-existing realities of alcohol enacted in these documents: (1) alcohol as part of culture, with benefits and harms manageable through the promotion of moderation; and (2) alcohol as an inherently harmful and toxic substance whatever its pattern of use. The enactment of alcohol as a toxic substance is supported by recent scientific knowledge, in particular the link between drinking and cancer. This second reality of alcohol as toxic is more prominent in the more recent documents; in particular, a transition from one dominant reality to another is clearly apparent in the changes from the 2006–2009 Australian national alcohol strategy to the 2019–2028 strategy. Changes in the dominant reality of alcohol enable or at least support certain policy initiatives while making others less possible and defensible. Focusing on the single reality of alcohol as inherently harmful to health and wellbeing reduces the options for preventing alcohol-related harms.

description: Background Children of families with a parent with a mental illness have an increased risk of developing social and mental health problems resulting in decreased quality of life. Therefore, children and adolescents living in families with a parent with mental illness are regarded as a target group for preventive interventions. To date, only a few economic evaluation studies for interventions directed at preventing the intergenerational transmission of mental health problems exist. In this investigation we estimated the cost utility of an intervention for the support of children and adolescents with a parent having a mental illness from the perspective of the German health and social care system. Methods We randomly assigned a total of 214 families with 337 children and adolescents to the intervention (INT) group (108/170) or the control (TAU) group (106/167). Families in the intervention group received on average eight intervention sessions (50–90 min) over 6 months. We estimated total cost of illness by means of the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service Receipt Inventory (CAMHSRI) over 24 months. For the estimation of Quality-Adjusted Live Years (QALYs) we applied the KIDSCREEN-10. For estimating the incremental cost-utility of the intervention compared to treatment as usual we used the net-benefit approach. Results We estimated the annual cost of illness amounting to € 3784.59 (SD € 8581.11) in the TAU group and € 3264.44 (SD € 9431.89) in the INT group. The annual cost difference between INT and TAU was € − 516.14 (SE 1124.95) which was not significant (p ≤ 0.05). We estimated the average QALY to be 0.759 (SD 0.073) in the TAU group and 0.763 (SD 0.072). The QALY difference between INT and TAU was 0.0037 (SE 0.0092) which was not significant (p ≤ 0.05). The incremental cost utility ratio (ICUR) indicated that the gain of one additional year in full health by means of the intervention was associated with the saving of € 139.49. However, the stochastic insecurity of the ICUR did not allow a unique decision about the cost-utility of the intervention. Conclusions More information on the economic value of the intervention for families with a parent with mental illness in comparison to treatment as usual in Germany is needed.

The Laundromat is a Horrifying Place to find Romance
Creators: name: Bilenduke, Taylor
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This book explores two concepts: the laundromat as a local, and the laundromat as an actor. It will identify examples of the laundromat as an actor, and the laundromat as a local, and will extract a repertoire of objects that are exploited in visual media and entertainment. The laundromat is understood as dying in Vancouver, and the project will provide a speculative campaign for the revival of public laundromats in through processes of retrofitting, relocation, and rewriting policy. Design figments will propose ironic and realistic transformations for the laundromat in contemporary Vancouver. This project takes on a critique of media portrayal and contemporary city life through topics of reputation, perception, and representation. It will analyze portrayed stereotypes of the laundromat in media, visualizing the way this affects our buildings and programs given the 2-dimensionality we view film in.

description: The oral microbiome might be influenced by cigarette smoking, but the differences in microbiomes between current smokers and nonsmokers have rarely been investigated in Chinese adults from high-altitude areas. The aim of this study is to access the effect of cigarette smoking on the oral microbiome in Chinese adults from high-altitude areas. In this study of 450 Chinese adults from Kunming, China (a high-altitude area), we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing of saliva samples to assess the relationship of cigarette smoking with the oral microbiome.

Haptic Design : Composing Perception in Seaforth Peace Park
Creators: name: Li, Ho Lok Klaus
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Landscape architecture has long been dominated by the visual—picturesque compositions, geometric precision, and aesthetic order—while the embodied ways we experience space remain overlooked. Haptic Design is a design framework that challenges this norm, proposing a radical shift towards touch and movement as primary design tools. Through haptic notation and sensory prototyping, this project explores how textured ground surfaces, spatial rhythms, and interactive materials can reshape perception. This project aims to reshape how we design and see public spaces, urging landscape architects to rethink design approach in a human- centered, experiential way.

Microclimates of Luxury
Creators: name: McGill, Garrett
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Design has forever addressed issues rooted in climate mitigation, yet the sweeping use of fossil fuel heating and air-conditioning has allowed designers to ignore natural design parameters of sun exposure, wind direction, and climate. Our bodies continually produce excessive heat, our skin which hovers around 34°C must continually expel heat to the environment to cool down. For this to happen, our environment must be cooler than we are, roughly between 21°C and 28°C. This ideal temperature range, historically found outside in the ambient air temperature, is at risk of disappearing. MIRCOCLIMATES OF LUXURY confronts the challenges of extreme heat with a review of historical landscape typologies known for their thermal comfort. Inspired by passive cooling techniques, the project presents a speculative design for Anna Wintour’s Long Island summer home, focused on the body’s interaction with heat transfer and material properties. The work repositions private residential commissions not as a retreat from public responsibility, but as a space for urgent experimentation at scale, where theory and practice are actively engaged. It concludes not as a finished product, but as a manifesto in progress for a post grad school career, driven by a desire to accelerate learning through making and to re-frame climate as a design medium.

Music for vanishing land
Creators: name: Nilsen, Ida
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The daily cycle of the tides is connected to the longer cycle of the seasons as well as to greater, epochal shifts of freezing/warming that redefine land and water systems. Within these rotations, all living things participate in the cycle between life, death, and life. This project is about the registration of these cycles; it celebrates the condition of going between one state and another and proposes this in-flux, in-between as concept; the ultimate liminal environment that is the intertidal zone, as stage. As a response, this project proposes the creation of large-scale clay instruments produced, activated, and destroyed by these processes, and a yearly ritual of making them. The sound of the instruments is created by the wind interacting with the tidal pattern and the physicality of our bodies. The project imagines these will be tender collaborations that connect us existentially, emotionally, but also spatially. Experiencing the instruments invites us to be curious, to slow down, sit, listen… to understand the site more meaningfully and ourselves within it. Over years, the intertidal zone shifts landwards, and the instruments break apart. Pieces left hint at a greater passage of time, while the sonic experience of the newer instruments tells the story of each particular day.
