description: The  aim  of  this  publication  is  to  introduce  the  particle  based  computational  fluid  dynamics  (CFD)  method  smoothed  particle  hydrodynamics  (SPH)  and  introduce  an  applicable  and  valid  SPH  implementation  for  practical  cases.  For  this  purpose,  current  research  approaches  are  combined  regarding  performance  and  numerical stability.  The principles of the method, the mathematical basics and the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations are clarified.  Furthermore,  the  implementation  of  method-specific  boundary  conditions,  wall,  inlet  and  outlet,  as  well  as  several  correction  procedures  and  a  surface  tension  setup into  the  present  code  framework  are  described.The advantages and validity of the method are shown based on different cases. The free surface fluid behavior of a dam break is compared to experimental data of the time dependent water level of selected positions. A Karman vortex street is validated by its Strouhal number for different Reynolds numbers. The frequency of an oscillating drop is analysed and compared to the analytical solution.The SPH is utilized for pipe flows influenced by a backward facing step and shows an expected qualitative flow field.

description: Gyrinus urinator Drapiez, 1819
 Gyrinus urinator Drapiez, 1819: 42 was missing in the ‘ PalCat ’. It is a junior primary homonym of Gyrinus urinator Illiger, 1807: 299, and thus Drapiez’s name is permanently invalid. The identity of this taxon might be objected because the author did not mention the bronzed shiny longitudinal stripes on the elytra; however, the yellowish brown ventral surface together with the type locality (Piedmont, Italy) leave no doubt that the species Drapiez studied is in fact G. urinator Illiger. Thus, Drapiez’s name is not only a homonym but also a junior subjective synonym of Illiger’s name.

Fluxon Dynamics of a Long Josephson Junction with Two-gap Superconductors

description: We investigate the phase dynamics of a long Josephson junction (LJJ) with two-gap superconductors. In this junction, two channels for tunneling between the adjacent superconductor (S) layers as well as one interband channel within each S layer are available for a Cooper pair. Due to the interplay between the conventional and interband Josephson effects, the LJJ can exhibit unusual phase dynamics. Accounting for excitation of a stable 2$π$-phase texture arising from the interband Josephson effect, we find that the critical current between the S layers may become both spatially and temporally modulated. The spatial critical current modulation behaves as either a potential well or barrier, depending on the symmetry of superconducting order parameter, and modifies the Josephson vortex trajectories. We find that these changes in phase dynamics result in emission of electromagnetic waves as the Josephson vortex passes through the region of the 2$π$-phase texture. We discuss the effects of this radiation emission on the current-voltage characteristics of the junction.

description: We show that in $\mathbb{C}^2$ if the set of strongly regular points are closed in the boundary of a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain, then the domain is c-regular, that is, the plurisubharmonic upper envelopes of functions continuous up to the boundary are continuous on the closure of the domain. Using this result we prove that smooth bounded pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^{2}$ are $c$-regular.

description: Redshift space distortion (RSD) is a powerful way of measuring the growth of structure and testing General Relativity, but it is limited by cosmic variance and the degeneracy between galaxy bias b and the growth rate factor f. The cross-correlation of lensing shear with the galaxy density field can in principle measure b in a manner free from cosmic variance limits, breaking the f-b degeneracy and allowing inference of the matter power spectrum from the galaxy survey. We analyze the growth constraints from a realistic tomographic weak lensing photo-z survey combined with a spectroscopic galaxy redshift survey over the same sky area. For sky coverage f_sky=0.5, analysis of the transverse modes measures b to 2-3% accuracy per Δz=0.1 bin at z<1 when \sim10 galaxies per square arcmin are measured in the lensing survey and all halos with M>M_min=10^13 h^{-1}M_solar have spectra. For the gravitational growth parameter parameter γ(f=Ω_m^γ), combining the lensing information with RSD analysis of non-transverse modes yields accuracy σ(γ)\sim 0.01. Adding lensing information to the RSD survey improves σ(γ) by an amount equivalent to a 3 times (10 times) increase in RSD survey area when the spectroscopic survey extends down to halo mass 10^13.5 (10^14) h^{-1} M_solar. We also find that the σ(γ) of overlapping surveys is equivalent to that of surveys 1.5-2 times larger if they are separated on the sky. This gain is greatest when the spectroscopic mass threshold is 10^13 - 10^14 h^{-1} M_solar, similar to LRG surveys. The gain of overlapping surveys is reduced for very deep or very shallow spectroscopic surveys, but any practical surveys are more powerful when overlapped than when separated. The gain of overlapped surveys is larger in the case when the primordial power spectrum normalization is uncertain by >0.5%.

The Integration of Learning Outcomes and Graduate Attributes in the Australian Higher Education Sector (Part 2): Measures for Higher Education Providers to Reduce Legal Liability
Creators: name: Do, Christina
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other law and legal studies not elsewhere classified

description: Part I of this two-part article addressed the difficulties experienced by Australian higher education providers, namely universities, with respect to the implementation of learning outcomes and graduate attributes, and the potential legal consequences institutions may face from affected stakeholders if they are unable to produce convincing evidence demonstrating the integration of the learning outcomes and graduate attributes. Part II presents measures higher education providers can implement to mitigate their potential legal liability. The measures presented in this article are specifically designed to assist higher education providers to discharge their legal obligations and produce convincing evidence demonstrating the integration of their promoted learning outcomes and graduate attributes. Given that research has suggested that effective implementation of learning outcomes and graduate attributes is largely dependent on academic staff, the measures presented in this paper are centred on motivating and building confidence in academic staff to foster the development of learning outcomes and graduate attributes through their teaching and assessment practices.
Soliton-phonon scattering problem in 1D nonlinear Schrödinger systems with general nonlinearity

description: A scattering problem (or more precisely, a transmission-reflection problem) of linearized excitations in the presence of a dark soliton is considered in a one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger system with a general nonlinearity: $ \mathrm{i}\partial_t ϕ= -\partial_x^2 ϕ+ F(|ϕ|^2)ϕ$. If the system is interpreted as a Bose-Einstein condensate, the linearized excitation is a Bogoliubov phonon, and the linearized equation is the Bogoliubov equation. We exactly prove that the perfect transmission of the zero-energy phonon is suppressed at a critical state determined by Barashenkov's stability criterion [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, (1996) 1193.], and near the critical state, the energy-dependence of the reflection coefficient shows a saddle-node type scaling law. The analytical results are well supported by numerical calculation for cubic-quintic nonlinearity. Our result gives an exact example of scaling laws of saddle-node bifurcation in time-reversible Hamiltonian systems. As a by-product of the proof, we also give all exact zero-energy solutions of the Bogoliubov equation and their finite energy extension.

Blacks--Music

description: In this essay I focus on the singular performances of the interface between (black) subjectivity and informational technologies in popular music, asking how these performances impact current definitions of the technological. After a brief examination of those aspects of mobile technologies that gesture beyond disembodied communication, I turn to the multifarious manifestations of techno-informational gadgets (especially cellular/mobile telephones) in contemporary R&B, a genre that is acutely concerned, both in content and form, with the conjuring of interiority, emotion, and affect. The genre’s emphasis on these aspects provides an occasion to analyze how technology thoroughly permeates spheres that are thought to represent the hallmarks of humanist hallucinations of humanity. I outline the extensive and intensive interdependence of contemporary (black) popular music and mobile technologies in order to ascertain how these sonic formations refract communication and embodiment and ask how this impacts ruling definitions of the technological. The first group of musical examples surveyed consists of recordings released between 1999 and 2001; the second set are recordings from years 2009–2010. Since ten years is almost an eternity in the constantly changing universes of popular music and mobile technologies, analyzing the sonic archives from two different historical moments allows me to stress the general co-dependence of mobiles and music without silencing the breaks that separate these “epochs.” Finally, I gloss a visual example that stages overlooked dimensions of mobile technologies so as to amplify the rhythmic flow between the scopic and the sonic. The artifacts in question boost the singular corporeal sensations of informational technologies without resorting to a naturalization of these machines. In other words, black musical formations relish the synthetic artificiality of cell phones and other mobile gadgets as much as making these a vital component of the performed body. They achieve this by transforming the sounds of mobile telephones into rhythmic patterns vital to their musical texts, which make audible how humans and mobile machines form a relational continuum.

description: The first generation of redshifted 21 cm detection experiments, carried out with arrays like LOFAR, MWA and GMRT, will have a very low signal-to-noise ratio per resolution element (\sim 0.2). In addition, whereas the variance of the cosmological signal decreases on scales larger than the typical size of ionization bubbles, the variance of the formidable galactic foregrounds increases, making it hard to disentangle the two on such large scales. The poor sensitivity on small scales on the one hand, and the foregrounds effect on large scales on the other hand, make direct imaging of the Epoch of Reionization of the Universe very difficult, and detection of the signal therefore is expected to be statistical.Despite these hurdles, in this paper we argue that for many reionization scenarios low resolution images could be obtained from the expected data. This is because at the later stages of the process one still finds very large pockets of neutral regions in the IGM, reflecting the clustering of the large-scale structure, which stays strong up to scales of \sim 120 comoving Mpc/h (\sim 1 degree). The coherence of the emission on those scales allows us to reach sufficient S/N (\sim 3) so as to obtain reionization 21 cm images. Such images will be extremely valuable for answering many cosmological questions but above all they will be a very powerful tool to test our control of the systematics in the data. The existence of this typical scale (\sim 120 comoving Mpc/h) also argues for designing future EoR experiments, e.g., with SKA, with a field of view of at least 4 degree.

description: Planning policy is the language that translates governance into built form. It is a necessary and integral tool in the operation of democracy. This doctoral thesis examines transportation planning policy in the Alberta context as a means for investigating the constituent pieces of good and bad planning policy. Using design science research, autoethnography and interviews as components of a research program, this study explores the state of transportation planning policy to better understand how policy has and continues to shape the communities that it guides. This work attempts to highlight the reasons and conditions behind why policy may succeed and use that information to propose an improved way of developing planning policy. Common failures in policy and policy implementation are examined and strategies proposed for practitioners to use. Through the research, the concept of a policy life-cycle and the adaptation of a policy development cycle are described and defined as new concepts in the practice. An examination of policy successes, failures and the conditions that lead to those outcomes shapes a root cause analysis which forms a basis for work. The information is then used to build, test and refine creative artifacts through the research project. A policy development guidebook is generated as a final output and tool that policy planners in Alberta can use to improve the success rate of their municipal planning policies.
Former à la durabilité les futur·e·s enseignant·e·s du primaire

description: Contexte : Les enjeux de durabilité sont présents dans les curricula depuis une quinzaine d’années. Or, la recherche montre que les enseignant·e·s sont souvent démuni·e·s pour aborder de telles questions en classe, notamment parce qu’elles renvoient à des savoirs non stabilisés et à des systèmes de valeurs en tension. Il convient donc d’introduire ces éléments dans la formation des enseignant·e·s et d’en mesurer les impacts. Objectif : Cette étude a pour but de présenter et analyser un dispositif de formation à la durabilité présenté pour la première fois à la HEP Vaud en automne 2021. Echantillon : L’échantillon est composé d’un groupe de vingt-quatre étudiant·e·s à l’enseignement primaire (Bachelor) et d’une formatrice récemment nommée à la HEP Vaud. Les données ont été prélevées entre septembre et décembre 2021. Méthodologie : La recherche qualitative et interprétative a pour but de comprendre le sens de la réalité des individus (Savoie-Zajc, 2000). Dans le cas présent, il s’agit de comprendre les enjeux liés au module analysé en nous appuyant sur des données multiples : un entretien préalable avec la formatrice, l’enregistrement vidéo de chacune des séances de cours, les productions des étudiant·e·s et un entretien avec trois étudiant·e·s à la fin du semestre (focus group). Une analyse de contenu a été réalisée à partir de ces différents matériaux (Bardin, 2003). Résultats : Les résultats mettent en évidence le fait que les étudiant·e·s ont des conceptions de la durabilité très variées, ce qui s’explique entre autres par la diversité des expériences réalisées préalablement. Leurs apprentissages renvoient à des savoirs disciplinaires et interdisciplinaires, mais également à des valeurs, des attitudes et des postures spécifiques. Quant à la formatrice impliqué·e dans cet atelier, elle a pris conscience de la difficulté à former des étudiant.e.s dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, alors que son ancrage est précisément disciplinaire. Conclusions : Une telle recherche apporte des constats permettant de prendre du recul sur le dispositif enseigné, afin de donner du sens aux apprentissages, mais également pour assurer une cohérence sur l’ensemble de la formation de base et continue. Nous montrons notamment qu’il s’agit d’insister sur la manière de catégoriser les savoirs et sur la notion d’hybridation dès lors que la voix des expert·e·s n’est plus la seule dont il faut tenir compte. Enfin, il conviendra, à l’avenir de travailler certaines thématiques plus en profondeur. Nous pensons par exemple aux concepts de changement climatique ou de biodiversité.

Teachers’ beliefs about emotions in the classroom : relations to teacher characteristics and implementation of a social-emotional learning program
Creators: name: Hanson, Jennifer Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The aim of this descriptive study was to examine teachers’ beliefs about emotions in the classroom and factors related to these beliefs, namely teacher background characteristics and the implementation of an emotion-focused social-emotional learning (SEL) program – the Roots of Empathy (ROE). Participants included 58 elementary school teachers from a Western Canadian city (n = 40) and the Isle of Man (n = 18) who hosted the ROE program or comprised the control group. Participants completed self-report measures assessing emotion beliefs (Bonds, Expressiveness, Instruction/Modeling, Protect, and Display/Control), background characteristics (grade level taught and years of teaching experience), and ROE program implementation (number of subject areas and frequency). Results indicated grade level taught (primary versus intermediate) and years of teaching experience were significantly related to some emotion beliefs dimensions. Instruction/Modeling beliefs were significantly higher for experienced teachers than novice teachers. Protect beliefs were significantly higher for primary grade teachers than intermediate grade teachers. Display/Control beliefs were significantly higher for intermediate grade teachers than primary grade teachers. Particular emotion beliefs were also significantly associated with teachers’ reports of ROE program implementation. Teachers’ Expressiveness beliefs were positively correlated with the frequency with which they implemented activities. Teachers’ Protect beliefs were negatively correlated with, and Display/Control beliefs were positively correlated with, the number of subject areas in and frequency with which implementation occurred. These findings support and extend research investigating teacher-related factors associated with implementation. Suggestions concerning the need for SEL training and support are made to enhance the effectiveness of emotion-focused SEL programs.

description: In the recent work by Song et al. [Science 332, 1410 (2011)], the scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiment in the stoichiometric FeSe reveals evidence for nodal superconductivity and strong anisotropy. The nodal structure can be explained with the extended s-wave pairing structure with the mixture of the $s_{x^2+y^2}$ and $s_{x^2y^2}$ pairing symmetries. We calculate the anisotropic vortex structure by using the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes mean-field theory. In considering the absence of magnetic ordering in the FeSe at the ambient pressure, orbital ordering is introduced, which breaks the $C_4$ lattice symmetry down to $C_2$, to explain the anisotropy in the vortex tunneling spectra.

description: The rapid advancement of autonomous vehicles (AVs) marks a significant milestone in transportation technology, revolutionizing mobility and urban planning. AVs promise to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and contribute to environmental sustainability. As AVs become increasingly adept at navigating complex environments, challenges arise in integrating them into existing infrastructures, making it crucial to study their coexistence with people and how they are perceived. Pods, also known as low-speed autonomous transport systems (L-SATS), are emerging in pedestrian areas like airports and malls to help solve the last-mile problem. Nonetheless, their introduction into pedestrian-centred spaces presents new challenges for researchers in ensuring the comfortable sharing of these spaces with people. This thesis explores and investigates factors contributing to comfortable coexistence between pods and incidentally copresent persons (InCoPs) in pedestrian spaces. Through our exploration, we make several contributions. We begin by examining autonomous vehicles in urban spaces, including a preliminary exploration of situated visualizations, proxemics, and technology acceptance, which leads us to the notion of pods in pedestrian spaces. We then propose a design space for pods in pedestrian spaces, reflecting on various aspects of coexistence between InCoPs and pods. Our dimensions describe the pedestrian space, pod interactions, and the physical design of pods. Using the initial design space dimensions as a foundation and inspiration in design, we build a virtual reality (VR) testbed to facilitate research on the coexistence between pods and InCoPs. We design ten scenarios in the pedestrian space testbed. We conduct a user study, analyzing the significance of different variables, including pod quantity, pod group formation, passenger presence, and InCoP position. We provide insights on factors enhancing InCoPs' comfort, emphasizing the importance of an improved sense of control, space and freedom to move, passenger awareness, and the social behaviours of other pedestrians. By examining key factors that contribute to InCoP coexistence alongside pods, this thesis aims to offer initial research insights into the future integration of pods in pedestrian spaces to improve the comfort of InCoPs.

description: In the Netherlands, parents of children with daytime urinary incontinence (UI) first consult general practitioners (GPs). However, GPs need more specific guidelines for daytime UI management, resulting in care and referral decisions being made without clear guidance. We aimed to identify Dutch GP considerations when treating and referring a child with daytime UI. We invited GPs who referred at least one child aged 4–18 years with daytime UI to secondary care. They were asked to complete a questionnaire about the referred child and the management of daytime UI in general. Of 244 distributed questionnaires, 118 (48.4%) were returned by 94 GPs. Most reported taking a history and performing basic diagnostic tests like urine tests (61.0%) and physical examinations (49.2%) before referral. Treatment mostly involved lifestyle advice, with only 17.8% starting medication. Referrals were usually at the explicit wish of the child/parent (44.9%) or because of symptom persistence despite treatment (39.0%). GPs usually referred children to a paediatrician (n = 99, 83.9%), only referring to a urologist in specific situations. Almost half (41.4%) of the GPs did not feel competent to treat children with daytime UI and more than half (55.7%) wanted a clinical practice guideline. In the discussion, we explore the generalisability of our findings to other countries. GPs usually refer children with daytime UI to a paediatrician after a basic diagnostic assessment, usually without offering treatment. Parental or child demand is the primary stimulus for referral.

description: Be Steadwell is a musician from Washington, DC. She has self-produced six albums, the most recent of which is entitled Jaded. dark love songs. She has toured the US and Europe, and was recently selected to a 2016 Strathmore Artist in Residence. As a touring musician, she plays shows of her music, and also offers songwriting workshops. “Songwriting doesn’t need to be inaccessible,” she says. In addition to her musical work, she is also a filmmaker. Her recently completed short, Vow of Silence, has played in festivals both nationally and internationally.

When I first heard Be’s music, I was struck by the sound of it. She uses her voice in multiple ways, to deliver lyrics, to create harmony and counterpoint, and to add texture. Her use of musical sound creates an ambience, a “mood” as she calls it, that seeks to deliver the listener to a new space. Given the prominent place of modern music production technologies, the loop pedal and computer-based editing, it was tempting for me to frame Be’s music as “highly technologized.” By this, I mean the ways music is primarily heard and discussed through the discourse of its machines and technological processes. However, Be’s relationship to the music production technologies doesn’t prioritize the machines and technological processes over other processes. Her music is not framed solely or primarily by its technologized aspects; rather, the technology she uses is part of her larger project that seeks to unite the producer, the audience, the “human,” and the technology in the music-making process. As a Queer Black woman making music, Be enacts her art within a complex web of intersecting pressures of race and gender. Drawing on the work of Tara Rodgers and Alexander Weheliye, we can hear Be’s use of musical technologies as a negotiation with a very specific set of gendered and racialized ideas about technologies of sound production.

This interview with Be was conducted over Skype. As a personal suggestion, I’d highly recommend visiting Be’s bandcamp page and listening to her album Jaded. dark love songs. while you read.

description: The freight sector is growing: disruptions in this sector have accelerated and are coming under more public scrutiny than other technological changes in the past. Autonomous goods delivery technologies are such a disruption, vehicles with no human on-board that can travel along roads, sidewalks, or in the air. Without the constraint of a human driver, many different forms and functions of vehicle can be created. It is uncertain the type or design of autonomous vehicle that will be best suited for exactly what scenarios, the strategies that will be used to operate them, and the supporting infrastructure changes that will be needed to best accommodate them. This thesis provides planning tools for this change that industry and government can utilize for better, quicker, and more transparent decisions. These methods also allow for sensitivity analysis and the impacts of technology changes to be considered and investigated. The impacts that uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) and sidewalk autonomous delivery robots (SADRs) will have on the optimal locations of micro-fulfilment centers (MFCs) and mothership vans (MSs) are analyzed. It is found that the sensitivity of the relationship between stock-turnover by area and the optimal number of MFCs is a barrier to the adoption of UAV and MFC systems. Moreover, delivery time-windows are shown to be a primary motivating factor in the adoption of UAVs and the areas of a region that are most cost-effective for the switch to UAV and MFCs are the areas furthest from existing logistics centers. For SADRs working with MS, two distinct deployment strategies are identified and compared, then the breakeven cost points for these strategies are analytically determined and expressed in a decision matrix table. A series of sensitivity analysis scenarios shows how exurbs and further suburbs of urban areas are most cost-effective to move to MS with SADR systems. Finally, UAVs and SADRs are compared simultaneously, and a mixed fleet system considered and optimized with conventional vans. The numerical study of Singapore shows that increasing the autonomy of UAVs and SADRs is a key barrier for more widescale adoption.
Mandatory Data Breach Notification Laws and Australian Health Data Privacy: Fragments and Fault Lines

description: Data privacy breaches — unauthorised access to, disclosure, or loss of people’s personal information — are commonplace, particularly in the health sector. In Australia, provisions under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the My Health Records Act 2012 (Cth) require data breach notification to affected people and the regulator. However, this mandatory notification, as it pertains to health information, has two key problems: fragmentation, and lack of fitness for purpose. In this article, I analyse the goals of the Australian legislative developments and the extent to which these are met in relation to health data. I propose legal and procedural reforms to mend the fragments and fault lines so that breach notification can more effectively address healthcare data breaches in Australia.

description: The versal deformation ring R(G,V) of a mod p representation V of a profinite group G encodes all isomorphism classes of lifts of V to representations of G over complete local commutative Noetherian rings. We introduce a new technique for determining R(G,V) when G is finite which involves Brauer's generalized decomposition numbers.

Massive identification of asteroids in three-body resonances

description: An essential role in the asteroidal dynamics is played by the mean motion resonances. Two-body planet-asteroid resonances are widely known, due to the Kirkwood gaps. Besides, so-called three-body mean motion resonances exist, in which an asteroid and two planets participate. Identification of asteroids in three-body (namely, Jupiter-Saturn-asteroid) resonances was initially accomplished by D.Nesvorny and A.Morbidelli (1998), who, by means of visual analysis of the time behaviour of resonant arguments, found 255 asteroids to reside in such resonances. We develop specialized algorithms and software for massive automatic identification of asteroids in the three-body, as well as two-body, resonances of arbitrary order, by means of automatic analysis of the time behaviour of resonant arguments. In the computation of orbits, all essential perturbations are taken into account. We integrate the asteroidal orbits on the time interval of 100000 yr and identify main-belt asteroids in the three-body Jupiter-Saturn-asteroid resonances up to the 6th order inclusive, and in the two-body Jupiter-asteroid resonances up to the 9th order inclusive, in the set of ~250000 objects from the "Asteroids - Dynamic Site" (AstDyS) database. The percentages of resonant objects, including extrapolations for higher-order resonances, are determined. In particular, the observed fraction of pure-resonant asteroids (those exhibiting resonant libration on the whole interval of integration) in the three-body resonances up to the 6th order inclusive is approximately 0.9% of the whole set; and, using a higher-order extrapolation, the actual total fraction of pure-resonant asteroids in the three-body resonances of all orders is estimated as approximately 1.1% of the whole set.

As Time Goes By: Car Radio and the Travel Experience in Twentieth-Century America

Radio programs

description: Since its invention nearly a century ago, the car radio has found its way into over ninety-five percent of vehicles on the road. Modern day radio programming is tailored to suit a mobile audience, and many listeners view car radios as an essential part of the driving experience. Yet within the scope of scholarly studies on this subject, the questions addressed are so focused on the mechanical problems of how radios were integrated into automobiles that there is substantially less research examining why radios were first imported into the car. What was the inspiration for such a combination? And how did it affect the travel experience for car users?

Expanding upon current scholarship related to mobile sound technologies and their influence on the experience of mechanized travel, I argue that the conditions individually brought about by the radio and the automobile mutually reinforced one another: both worked together to alter the perceived passage of time and space for their users. Given that these developments directly reflect similar shifts in the perception of space and time occurring with the invention of older travel technologies such as the railroad half a century earlier, the application of radio to the car can be understood as just one more manifestation of the new spatiotemporal paradigm gripping the post-industrial West in the first half of the twentieth century.

description: The Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group in Myanmar's Rakhine state, gained global attention in 2017 due to the Myanmar military's genocide. This study focuses on how the Canadian media portrays the Rohingya minority after their displacement from Myanmar and resettlement in Canada. The primary objective is to analyze how different news outlets depict the Rohingya community, with a secondary goal of contrasting media narratives with the actual experiences of Rohingya migrants in Canada. My research emphasizes prioritizing refugee perspectives both theoretically and methodologically, aiming to engage these voices in dialogue with prevalent stereotypes and misrepresentations. My goal is to understand how our perceptions of these migrants are produced and how they influence refugee settlement. Based on their age, gender, and family background, the fieldwork with the Rohingya people revealed differences of opinion amongst the community about their portrayal in the media. Further, the data shows how different the resettlement journey is for each of these people in a foreign land. The media analysis demonstrated that the Rohingya were often portrayed as helpless victims, rarely discussed Rohingya history, and prioritized refugee camp stories with a significant absence of the Rohingya women's voices in the news. Ultimately the study displays the implication and significance of bringing refugee narratives into the mainstream media as people still fail to understand the crisis on a deeper level.
