#CondomEmoji: Are urban Indonesians receptive to a social media-based campaign for safer sex?
Creators: name: Ridlo, Ilham Akhsanu

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore participants’ attitudes and receptivity to a #CondomEmoji campaign insofar as investigating whether attitudes and receptivity were important predictors for brand impression and intention to buy.

Design/methodology/approach – This study involved 206 research participants who live in Jakarta and Surabaya and who answered online questionnaires to measure attitudes, receptivity to #CondomEmoji advertising, brand impression and intention to buy condoms. Questionnaires were circulated on several social media platforms and instant messaging apps. The participants were asked to watch the #CondomEmoji advertising video before proceeding to fill out the questionnaires.
Findings – Research findings suggested that participants mostly held negative attitudes and receptivity to the campaign. Non-sexually active participants were more likely to perceive the advertising as offensive. Attitudes and receptivity were good predictors for brand impression, yet attitude was not significantly attributed to intention to buy condoms. The result was stronger in sexually active participants.

Research limitations/implications – Non-sexually active young people need to be more informed about healthy sexual behavior so that they would not feel embarrassed to discuss and ask about sexual behavior. A socially acceptable condom-use advertising campaign needs to be conducted to lessen the resistance of conservative audiences.

Originality/value – This paper offers an insight into how conservative audiences may respond to social-media-based campaign of safer sex.

description: For early type magnetic stars slow, at most moderate rotational velocities have been considered an observational fact. The detection of a multi-kilogauss magnetic field in the B2Vpn star with P approx. 0.52d and v sin approx. 300km/s has brought down this narrative. We have obtained more than 100 high-resolution, high-S/N echelle spectra in 2009. These spectra provide the most detailed description of the variability of any He-strong star to date. The circumstellar environment is dominated by a rotationally locked magnetosphere out to several stellar radii, causing hydrogen emission. The photosphere is characterized by surface chemical abundance inhomogeneities, with much stronger amplitudes, at least for helium, than slower rotating stars like σOri E. The highly complex rotational line profile modulations of metal lines are probably a consequence the equatorial gravity darkening of HR 7355, and thus may offer an independent measurement of the von Zeipel parameter β.

Graphenylene nanotubes : structure, electronic properties and potential applications
Creators: name: Koch, Andrew Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The electronic properties of a new type of carbon nanotube, based on the graphenylene motif, are investigated using density functional and tight-binding methods. Analogous to conventional graphene-based carbon nanotubes, a two-dimensional graphenylene sheet can be “rolled” into a seamless cylinder in armchair, zigzag, or chiral orientations. The resulting nanotube can be described using the familiar (n,m) nomenclature and possesses four-, six-, and twelve-membered rings. Density functional theory-based geometry relaxations predict that graphenylene nanotubes, like their two-dimensional counterpart, exhibit three distinct bond lengths between carbon atoms, indicating a non-uniform electron distribution. The dodecagonal rings form pores, 3.3 Å in diameter in the two-dimensional case, which become saddle-shaped paraboloids in smaller-diameter graphenylene nanotubes. Electronic structure calculations in density functional theory predict zigzag graphenylene nanotubes to be small-band-gap semiconductors, with a generally decreasing band gap as the diameter increases. Interestingly, the calculations predict metallic characteristics for armchair graphenylene nanotubes with small diameters (< 2 nm), and semiconducting characteristics with a small band gap for armchair graphenylene nanotubes with larger diameters. Similar to conventional carbon nanotubes, graphenylene nanotubes with indices mod(n-m,3)=0 exhibit a band gap approximately equal to that of armchair graphenylene nanotubes with comparable diameters.

description: Phospholipases produce acids and then release protons. Furthermore, protons compete with Ca2+ for the same binding site in the cell, thus causing the release of Ca2+. It is possible to assume that there is a direct biochemical interconnection between the activity of phospholipases and the cellular concentrations of both H+ and Ca2+.

description: Educational contexts around the world are increasingly characterized by diversity, including a rise in students from refugee backgrounds. Much research has focused on the educational needs of these students and the particular struggles they experience in educational contexts. The increasing number of refugee and asylum-seeking children in Australia calls for rethinking approaches to enhance the acculturation process in ways that build on individuals' prior knowledge and understanding of self. This paper draws on data from a larger case study that focused on Sudanese young people in regional Australia and investigated their out-of-school activities, networks, and practices and how these contributed to their success across a range of contexts. Drawing on perspectives of identity and theories of social capital, we discuss the role of social networks in generating social capital and what this means in terms of the (re)formation of students' identities in regional locations, and we consider how this can contribute to educational success. We suggest that the resources in regional areas present both a challenge and an opportunity for young former-refugee people in terms of repositioning themselves in new social, cultural, and educational contexts. The paper examines how the young people developed their own momentum, rationality, and legitimacy in their identity (re)formation, and suggests that educational settings need to connect with and understand young people's out-of-school resources to avoid deficit narratives that lead to poor educational outcomes.
Ad hoc cloudlet based mobile gaming : progressive downloading and cooperative task allocation
Creators: name: Chi, FangYuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: As the game industry matures, processing complex game logics in a timely manner is no longer an insurmountable problem. Many researchers are now trying to find ways to optimize the gaming system regarding the network usage, interactive latency, energy consumption, and local resource utilization. However, current cloud-based mobile gaming solutions are limited by their relatively high requirements on Internet resources. Also, they typically do not consider the geographical locations of nearby mobile users and thus ignore the potential cooperation among them. Therefore, inspired by existing cloud computing techniques, as well as the concept of both cloudlet computing, and ad hoc mobile cloud computing, in this thesis, we introduce an ad hoc mobile cloud-cloudlet-cloud based three-tier approach to cooperative mobile gaming architecture. Two types of cooperation will be provided: cooperation with and without the assistance from the cloudlet(s), which is defined by the way in which mobile devices are connected to and interact with the cloud. In this thesis, two modules of the architecture are introduced: 1) progressive game resources download, by which mobile users can adaptively download gaming resources from cloud servers or nearby mobile users according to their gaming progresses, and 2) ad hoc mobile cloud based cooperative task allocation, by which gaming components can be executed dynamically over local devices, nearby devices, stationary cloudlet(s), or cloud servers. We formulate the mechanisms for both modules as optimization problems and propose several algorithms for both modules, which are later used for evaluation purposes. We carry out simulations based on real mobility traces, and the results show that our system's performance depends highly on the ad hoc network environments (the more concurrent and balanced connections within the ad hoc network, the lower the system resource usage). Also, regardless of the network environments, our system has lower system resource usage while utilizing resources of nearby devices, compared to the cloud-based gaming architecture. Moreover, our evaluation results show that by adding cloudlet(s) into our architecture, the system performance is improved. Also, at the end of the thesis, we give a comprehensive analysis of the system.

description: Knowledge of Jupiter's deep interior would provide unique constraints on the formation of the Solar System. Measurement of its core mass and global composition would shed light on whether the planet formed by accretion or by direct gravitational collapse. At present, the inner structure of Jupiter is poorly constrained and seismology, which consists of identifying acoustic eigenmodes, offers a way to directly measure its deep sound speed profile, and thus its physical properties. Seismology of Jupiter has been considered since the mid 1970s, but hitherto the various attempts to detect global modes led, at best, to ambiguous results. We report the detection of global modes of Jupiter, based on radial velocity measurements performed with the SYMPA Fourier spectro-imager. The global seismic parameters that we measure include the frequency of maximum amplitude 1213+/-50 μHz, the mean large frequency spacing between radial harmonics 155.3+/-2.2 μHz and the mode maximum amplitude 49 (-10/+8) cm/s, all values that are consistent with current models of Jupiter. This result opens the way to the investigation of the inner structure of the Solar System's giant planets based on seismology techniques.

Examining the relationship between off-ice testing and on-ice performance in male youth ice hockey players
Creators: name: Rice, Mark Stewart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Background: In an elite sport setting, physical assessments are administered for talent selection purposes, as well as for continuous monitoring to ensure the effective implementation of training methods to reach optimal sport performance. Physical assessment allows coaches and trainers to determine where an athlete ranks compared to other players, as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the individual. In ice hockey, research has focused on high performance players (e.g., NHL prospects) and the physical characteristics that they possess. To date, the early assessment of youth minor hockey players, and the relationship between off-ice and on-ice performance has received little attention. Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship between off-ice physical fitness performance and sport-related performance on on-ice assessments in male, minor ice hockey players. Methods: Eleven male minor hockey players were recruited across three birth years (2004, 2005, and 2006). Participants completed a battery of 14 off-ice testing protocols that measured body composition, musculoskeletal fitness, aerobic fitness, and anaerobic fitness, as well as 4 on-ice protocols that measured skating speed, skating agility, skating acceleration, and shot velocity. Results: Older players were taller and heavier than the younger players, and defensemen were taller and heavier when compared to forwards. Across participants, standing long jump was positively correlated to all skating tests (i.e., speed, agility, and acceleration). Players who jumped further demonstrated significantly greater on-ice skating performance. Significant correlations were also found between player weight and maximum speed, agility, and shot velocity. Lighter players were faster and more agile on the ice, while players with a greater mass demonstrated higher scores in shot velocity. A significant relationship was also found between push-ups and off-ice sprinting capability. Conclusion: These findings were consistent with high performance research with adults revealing that physical measures (such as standing long jump) may have predictive value for on-ice performance even in young, pre-pubertal ice hockey players. While such measures may contribute to the successful identification and selection of players for high performance, utilizing such assessments also has important training implications for the long-term development and performance of all players.

description: Good health for girls and women is essential for sustainable development. Nevertheless, there is still much work to be done to put girls and women first. Millions of women and girls around the world are caught in the vicious spiral of violent conflict and poor health. The impact of conflicts on access to health care has gendered implications.	Therefore, health-related SDG targets require a pro-equity approach that promotes accelerated progress for the poorest and most disadvantaged communities within countries. This also means reaching the poorest and most vulnerable girls and women in conflict and post-conflict contexts, and putting them first when designing programs and agenda to tackle inequalities.	To do so, further research is needed to understand the patterns of inequalities in RMH coverage among female affected forced displacement and sexual and gender-based violence in conflict settings in Colombia. We hypothesize that despite the progressive realization of the universal access to RMH services in Colombia, the female affected by conflict has less opportunities in the delivery of these services.Our study assessed inequalities in access to RMH services among females affected by forced displacement and SGBV in conflict settings in Colombia. This was accomplished through the following approaches: 	Assessing the gaps and gradients in three selected RMH care services.	Analyzing the patterns of inequalities in RMH care services and changes over time. 	Identifying challenges and strategies for reaching girls and women who are the hardest to reach in conflict settings, in order to accelerate progress towards universal RMH coverage and gender equality by 2030.

description: For simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups $G = F_4, E_6$ and $E_7$, we consider two involutions $σ, γ$ and determine the group structure of subgroups $G^{σ,γ}$ of $G$ which are the intersection $G^σ\cap G^γ$ of the fixed points subgroups of $G^σ$ and $G^γ$. The motivation is as follows. In [1](see the References of this paper), we determine the group structure of $(F_4)^{σ, σ'}, (E_6)^{σ, σ'}$ and $(E_7)^{σ, σ'}$, and in [2](see the References of this paper), we also determine the group structure of $(G_2)^{γ, γ'}, (F_4)^{γ, γ'}$ and $(E_6)^{γ, γ'}$. So, in this paper, we try to determine the type of groups $(F_4)^{σ, γ}, (E_6)^{σ, γ}$ and $(E_7)^{σ, γ}$.

A cloud eco-system : reactive demand control and dynamic pricing methodology
Creators: name: Chi, Yuanfang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Resources are limited in capacity. In the meanwhile, over-provisioning of resources resulted in server low utilization could be costly to cloud providers. The underlying reasons of the low utilization are multiple-folds, such as uneven application fit where the application cannot fully utilize the resources allocated or the uncertainty in demand forecasts that is introduced by the dramatically varied demand of the cloud resource between peak and non-peak periods. While many research works are devoted to optimize the resource allocation techniques in the effort of achieving higher server utilization, how to control resource demand so the correct level of resource provisioning can be determined has become the next research question. In this thesis, we introduce a pricing methodology with dynamic pricing that intended to induce desired demand pattern and enhances the revenue of a cloud provider. The proposed pricing methodology encourages cloud tenants, whose requested Virtual Machines (VMs) can be allocated easily, to use more cloud service by offering them lower prices and discouraging cloud tenants, whose requested VMs are difficult to allocate, from using cloud service by charging them higher prices. We study our pricing methodology with a combinatorial optimization algorithm, the Knapsack Algorithm and show that the overall revenue is enhanced through evaluations. Then, to achieve fairness among users, we further perform a case study of our pricing methodology with a multi-resource allocation fairness algorithm, the Heterogeneous Dominant Resource Fairness (DRFH) algorithm. Trace-driven simulation results show that the proposed pricing methodology with DRFH can increase the overall revenue by up to 11.60%. Furthermore, we propose a novel cloud federation system that is cognitive to the dynamic prices as a decision making assistant tool for our pricing methodology. The cloud federation system automatically selects and migrates user tasks to a cloud system that is charging at a more affordable rate. We discuss the architectural framework and platform design, provide a mathematical formulation and investigate a total service cost minimization approach with privacy constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed system can lower the cost of cloud services by exploiting the advantages of dynamic prices of multiple clouds.

description: Oral semaglutide comprises the glucagon-like peptide-1 analog, semaglutide, and sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate (SNAC). Levothyroxine has similar dosing conditions to oral semaglutide. This trial investigated if oral semaglutide co-administered with levothyroxine affects thyroxine (T4) exposure and if multiple placebo tablets co-administered with oral semaglutide affect semaglutide exposure. In this one-sequence crossover trial, 45 healthy subjects received levothyroxine (600 μg single-dose) alone, or with concomitant SNAC 300 mg or concomitant oral semaglutide 14 mg at steady-state. Subjects also received oral semaglutide 14 mg at steady-state alone or with five placebo tablets once-daily for 5 weeks. A 33% increase in total T4 exposure was observed with levothyroxine/oral semaglutide vs levothyroxine alone, but baseline-corrected maximum concentration (Cmax) was unaffected. SNAC alone did not affect total T4 exposure, whereas Cmax was slightly decreased. A 34% decrease in semaglutide exposure was observed when oral semaglutide was co-administered with placebo tablets, and Cmax also decreased. Levothyroxine pharmacokinetics were influenced by co-administration with oral semaglutide. Monitoring of thyroid parameters should be considered when treating patients with both oral semaglutide and levothyroxine. Oral semaglutide exposure was influenced by co-administration with multiple tablets, which is addressed in the dosing guidance.

On the relevance of international law, theories of international relations and the Crimean case
Creators: name: Burzo, Stefano
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The Russian Federation claims the 2014 Crimea reunification is legal. Ukraine, together with NATO countries and others, deems the annexation illegal. Both states agree on most of the facts, with a few significant exceptions, and both states argue their case in terms of international law, on which they both generally agree. Hence, what is the point of international law? Does it have a discernible and independent effect on international politics? If so, is it in principle possible to observe it? This work attempts to be an analysis of these questions in the reunification/annexation of Crimea by Russia of 2014, to see whether an answer can in fact be given. The aim is to address the position of the Russian legal arguments within current international law, together with its implications for two of the currently most credited theories of international politics.

description: We investigate vibrational properties and lattice distortion of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Using the first-principles electronic structure calculations, we show that the presence of NV center leads to appearance of a large number of quasilocalized vibrational modes (qLVMs) with different degree of localization. The vibration patterns and the symmetries of the qLVMs are presented and analyzed in detail for both ground and excited orbital states of the NV center. We find that in the high-symmetry ($C_{3v}$) excited orbital state a pair of degenerate qLVMs becomes unstable, and the stable excited state has lower ($C_{1h}$) symmetry. This is a direct indication of the Jahn-Teller effect, and our studies suggest that dynamical Jahn-Teller effect in the weak coupling regime takes place. We have also performed a detailed comparison of our results with the available experimental data on the vibrations involved in optical emission/absorption of the NV centers. We have directly demonstrated that, among other modes, the qLVMs crucially impact the optical properties of the NV centers in diamond, and identified the most important groups of qLVMs. Our results are important for deeper understanding of the optical properties and the orbital relaxation associated with lattice vibrations of the NV centers.

Study of communication in joint forest management in India
Creators: name: Chandran, Ajith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Joint Forest Management (JFM) - i.e. forests jointly managed by the Forest Department and local community - has been operative across all States of India for more than two decades now. Despite its successes in expanding to over one third of the forest area, challenges in managing the forest jointly exist between these two unequal partners. Apart from issues of governance, the lack of communication between them has been reason for many of the on-going conflicts and issues. The present study explores the communication mechanisms in current practices in JFM, their effectiveness and challenges. The perception of community and the Forest Department about communication challenges, emerging technology, and possible solutions are also explored. A model is developed to help practitioners and planners to assess communication situation and to design appropriate mechanisms. To study the communication challenges and their relation to power and technology, I surveyed three village communities, and interviewed a range of Forest Department officers from Gujarat. I also surveyed senior Indian Forest Service officers from 19 States to understand their perception of the communication challenges. This data helped me to develop a model to understand communication in a culturally embedded governance situation. Results of the study indicate the lack of adequate mechanisms to understand the governance-communication linkages with consequential silhouetted approaches that fail to consider the impacts and linkages. The proposed model suggests that communication in governance should be planned taking into account ‘skillholders’ from ‘civil experts’ and ‘conventional experts’ across a variety of stages and dimensions. While community depends on the Forest Department for information and legitimacy for its various activities, the Department’s approach has been haphazard and ambiguous leaving much improvement to be desired. Senior forest officers acknowledge the situation and suggest a number of solutions for improving communication, which ranges from improved relationships to delivery mechanism. The research suggests that there is too much focus on certain areas for communication, such as policy implementation, without adequate emphasis on the process of policy making, leading to lack of clarity on a number of processes and procedures.

description: Single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) nanofibrils were assembled onto a variety of conductive scanning probes including atomic force microscope (AFM) tips and scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) needles using positive dielectrophoresis (DEP). The magnitude of the applied electric field was varied in the range of 1-20 V to investigate its effect on the dimensions of the assembled SWNT nanofibrils. Both length and diameter grew asymptotically as voltage increased from 5 to 18 V. Below 4 V, stable attachment of SWNT nanofibrils could not be achieved due to the relatively weak DEP force versus Brownian motion. At voltages of 20 V and higher, low quality nanofibrils resulted from incorporating large amounts of impurities. For intermediate voltages, optimal nanofibrils were achieved, though pivotal to this assembly is the wetting behaviour upon tip immersion in the SWNT suspension drop. This process was monitored in situ to correlate wetting angle and probe geometry (cone angles and tip height), revealing that probes with narrow cone angles and long shanks are optimal. It is proposed that this results from less wetting of the probe apex, and therefore reduces capillary forces and especially force transients during the nanofibril drawing process. Relatively rigid probes (force constant >= 2 N/m) exhibited no perceivable cantilever bending upon wetting and de-wetting, resulting in the most stable process control.

Sustainability evaluation of seasonal snow storage for building cooling systems : a life cycle approach

description: In Canada, the residential building sector consumes 17% of the total energy and contributes 15% of the total GHG emissions. Predominantly, the energy demand for cooling in the residential sector is increasing due to large occupancy floor area and high usage of air-conditioning. Minimizing energy use and GHG emissions is one of the highest priority goals set for national energy management strategies in developed countries including Canada. In this research, a sustainability assessment framework is developed to evaluate the techno-economic and environmental performance of different building cooling systems, namely conventional snow storage system, watertight snow storage system, high-density snow storage system, and the conventional chiller cooling system. The framework is implemented in a low-rise residential building in Kelowna (BC, Canada) to appraise its practicality. The Life cycle assessment (LCA) approach is used to assess the environmental impacts of different building cooling systems. LCA results revealed that the systems have varying energy requirements and associated environmental impacts during the different life cycle phases (extraction and construction, utilization, and end of life). The annual cooling energy demands for different cooling systems are also estimated. The LCA is carried out using SimaPro 8.1 software and the TRACI 2.1 method. Multi-criteria decision analysis is employed using the ‘Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE-II)’ to evaluate the sustainability of different cooling systems over their life cycle. The results showed that the snow storage systems tend to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and associated environmental impacts more than the conventional cooling system. A probabilistic feasibility evaluation tool is developed to evaluate the techno-economic performance of different cooling systems. The incremental economic performance of alternatives is estimated in terms of the total cooling cost per kWh at the facility. Monte-Carlo simulation was performed to consider the uncertainty factors involved in the techno-economic parameters of cooling systems. Results of this analysis verified that the snow storage systems are more energy efficient and low-cost options for building cooling systems. The developed frameworks will support decision-makers in evaluating the sustainability of building cooling systems. Moreover, socio-economic benefits, i.e. improving affordability, equity, and enhancing energy sustainability, could be achieved.

Effects of insulin gene dosage on murine obesity and lifespan
Creators: name: Templeman, Nicole M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: There are numerous parallels between aging and obesity, and insulin may play a crucial role in modulating both conditions. For instance, elevated insulin levels are closely associated with obesity, although the causal role of insulin hypersecretion in the development of obesity remains controversial. Interestingly, genetically reducing components of insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 signaling can increase lifespan in invertebrates and mammals. However, impaired insulin-stimulated glucose disposal is a form of decreased insulin signaling that is paradoxically a detrimental feature of mammalian aging, whereas long-living mammals often show enhanced responsiveness to insulin stimulation. Therefore, the role of insulin/IGF-1 signaling for mammalian longevity, and the relative functions of the insulin and IGF-1 ligands, are still unclear. The lifelong effects of moderately decreasing insulin production in mammals had not been directly tested. In this dissertation, the goal was to further delineate effects of lowering insulin levels on obesity and metabolic health across the lifespan of a mammalian model organism, culminating in an evaluation of longevity. We used a model in which the rodent-specific insulin gene was fully inactivated (Ins1-null), and compared mice with full or partial expression of the ancestral insulin gene (Ins2). Male and female Ins1-/-:Ins2+/- and Ins1-/-:Ins2+/+ littermates were fed a chow diet or high fat diet, and were evaluated across their lifetime to determine long-term effects of reducing insulin gene dosage on obesity, glucose homeostasis, and other physiological parameters. The studies herein show that murine insulin levels and metabolic homeostasis might be regulated in a sex-specific, environmentally-dependent manner, since inactivating one Ins2 allele unexpectedly did not cause a consistent reduction of circulating insulin in Ins1-null male mice, and we observed cross-cohort hyper-variability in circulating insulin of male mice. However, limiting insulin hypersecretion in young, growing female mice can confer long-term protection against obesity. Furthermore, we found that lowering circulating insulin has the potential to improve glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in advanced age, as well as lead to lifespan extension in mammals. To our knowledge, these studies are the first to demonstrate that a targeted, moderate reduction of insulin may be sufficient to promote healthier aging and extend lifespan in mammals.
