description: This thesis presents the results of an archaeological investigation in the vicinity of the Currawinya Lakes, southwestern Queensland. This is an area characterised by extensive surface scatters of stone artefacts, but has few rockshelters, middens, mounds or other site types to provide chronological evidence or stratigraphic control. Using the concepts of exploration, explanation and a landscape approach, four sub-projects (reconnaissance geomorphology, chronology, taphonomy and nonsite survey) were initiated in five stages to develop an explanatory framework for the archaeology of the study area. ...

description: Defining and understanding change as observed in the mid-to-late Holocene Australian archaeological record is the primary focus of this research. For this thesis I conducted a detailed local archaeological survey of a mid-to-late Holocene landscape to examine aspects of continuity and change in the coastal environments of the Sandalwood River in the Yiinkan Embayment, Mornington Island, southeast Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia. Focus is given to the theoretical and methodological problems emerging in coastal and island archaeology such as the importance of constructing reliable chronologies, interpreting the archaeological data in the context of local landscape and environmental development, and assessing the integrity of open tropical archaeological coastal sites. The Yiinkan Embayment is an ideal region to address these issues as it contains datasets that enable the development of refined local chronologies of land formation processes and palaeoenvironmental conditions. These datasets included numerous fixed biological indicators in the form of black-lipped oyster (Striostrea mytiloides) bioherms that are used to construct local sea-level models and infer palaeoenvironmental conditions. In addition, a series of transgressive parallel beach ridges, that have a deposition chronology mirroring that documented on the adjacent mainland, have been used to reconstruct palaeocoastlines and further refine the timing of local mid-to-late Holocene landform evolution. Extensive archaeological surveys were taken across c.27km2 at the Sandalwood River catchment. The study area was stratified into six survey zones based on broad geomorphological characteristics (e.g. stranded beach ridge of saltpan). Surveys recorded 164 cultural sites and 12 natural bioherms. Results of the survey and excavation of three shell mounds are presented. Differences in site structure, composition and chronology are interpreted to present a temporal and spatial pattern of variability in the use of a range of local environmental zones throughout the late Holocene. ...

description: Experiments to determine the removal of viruses in different types of water (surface water from two reservoirs for drinking water treatment, treated groundwater and groundwater contaminated with either 5 or 30 % of wastewater) by ultrafiltration were performed with a semi-technical ultrafiltration unit. Concentrations of human adenoviruses (HAdVs), murine norovirus (MNV), and the bacteriophages MS2, ÖX174 and PRD1 were measured in the feed water and the filtrate, and log removal values were calculated. Bacteria added to the feed water were not detected in the filtrates. In contrast, in most cases viruses and bacteriophages were still present in the filtrates: log removal values were in the range of 1.4-6.3 depending on virus sizes and water qualities. Best removals were observed with bacteriophage PRD1 and HAdVs, followed by MNV and phages MS2 and ÖX174. Virus size, however, was not the only criterion for efficient removal. In diluted wastewater as compared to drinking water and uncontaminated environmental waters, virus removal was clearly higher for all viruses, most likely due to higher membrane fouling. For quality assessment purposes of membrane filtration efficiencies with regard to the elimination of human viruses the small bacteriophages MS2 and ÖX174 should be used as conservative viral indicators.Quelle: http://link.springer.com

Coming Out
Creators: name: Frackman, Kyle
Publisher: name: Camden House
Year: 2022

description: It took forty years for East Germany's state-run studios, DEFA, to produce a feature film about homosexuality: Coming Out. The film's story seems radically ordinary today: a young teacher, Philipp, is gay but cannot accept the truth about his sexuality. He starts a relationship with a fellow teacher, Tanja, but falls in love with a man he meets, Matthias, whose confidence in his own self-understanding is alluring for him as well as a challenge. Acclaimed director Heiner Carow created a film that shows the difficulties, both internalized and external, that queer people faced in East Germany. In a quirk of history, Coming Out premiered in German theaters on November 9, 1989, the very night on which the Berlin Wall was opened, which meant the film was initially overshadowed, to say the least, by the earthshaking political events. Yet it remains a popular film and is regularly screened around the world, including prominently at queer film festivals. This book examines the film in both the late East German context of its creation and the international context of its reception. The open access version of this book is made possible by the UBC Open Access Fund for Humanities and Social Sciences Research.

description: Internalized racism is understudied in psychological research and largely misunderstood among Asian Americans. The first chapter of this dissertation was a systematized review to broadly address the general description of Asian American internalized racism and the roles of internalized racism in Asian American mental health. The conceptualization of internalized racism among Asian Americans shares common elements of disadvantaged Asian American group in the social structure positioning relative to the dominant White society but also varied depending on the historical context of the way racialization experience was internalized. Internalized racism also has a significant negative impact toward various negative mental health outcomes and psychological help seeking.The second chapter of this dissertation was an empirical study aimed to examine internalized racism and shame as a mediator as well as culturally engaging campus environment (CECE) as a moderator in explaining the relationship between discrimination and depression among Asian American college students. The findings suggested that there were multiple pathways from racial discrimination to depression where shame becomes the critical and significant factor that can lead racialized Asian American college students to suffer from depression. CECE was not found to significantly alter the impact of racial discrimination on shame among Asian American students.

Es bleiben allerdings einige Fragen ungeklärt, insbesondere wie das Verschlechterungsverbot für die Beurteilung von nachteiligen Veränderungen des chemischen Zustands von Oberflächengewässern und im Kontext anderer EU-Richtlinien, insbesondere der Meeresstrategie-Rahmenrichtlinie zu verstehen ist.Quelle: http://link.springer.com
Historical Ecology in Burrard Inlet : Summary of Historic, Oral History, Ethnographic, and Traditional Use Information
Creators: name: Morin, Jesse

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The marine ecosystems surrounding the Lower Mainland area of British Columbia have undergone a series of profound changes, resulting from poor fishery practices, pollution, and habitat destruction associated with the development of a large urban centre and Canada’s busiest port. The early extent of these impacts has not been well-documented and is not widely appreciated within recent scientific literature. This has resulted in a situation of shifting baseline syndrome, wherein each generation of researchers assumes that the conditions they observed were the historic baseline, while each successive generation documents a further degraded ecosystem that they assume is the historic baseline (Baum and Myers, 2004; Dulvy and Kindsvater, 2017; Pauly, 1995, 2019; Pinnegar and Englehard, 2008). In turn, these ecological impacts have significantly impaired the Indigenous peoples’ ability to harvest traditional foods. Indigenous people, such as Tsleil-Waututh, have lived in this area for millennia, and their pre-contact subsistence was overwhelmingly reliant on marine foods (Chisholm 1986; Lepofsky et al. 2007; Morin et al. 2021). Thus, the profound negative changes in local marine ecology have had a disproportionate impact on local Indigenous people and their lifeways. To gain a better understanding of pre-contact ecological conditions in Burrard Inlet and surrounding waters, and to assess the scope and magnitude of negative impacts to key species, an extensive review of historic, archival, ethnographic, Traditional Use Studies (TUS), and other relevant materials was undertaken. This body of information provides unique insight into the past abundance of species across the study area and identifies key periods of change. Almost all of the taxa identified in the literature review displayed evidence for decreased abundance in modern compared to early historic times, and in many cases, this decrease was profound. Specifically, this review identified major population reductions of herring, smelt, eulachon, salmon, sturgeon, groundfish, clams, crab, whales, and waterfowl. For all taxa reviewed, save for cod, where the data make it possible to estimate, this review indicates that estimated current population abundances for focal species ranges from less than 1% to 50% of their mid-19th century and pre-contact levels.

description: Introduction: The timely identification biologically active chemicals, in disease relevant screening assays, is a major endeavor in drug discovery. The existence of frequent hitters (FHs) in non-related assays poses a formidable challenge in terms of whether to consider these molecules as chemical gold or promiscuous non-selective reactive trash (also known as PAINS – pan assay interference compounds). Areas covered: In this review, the authors bring together expertize in synthetic chemistry, cheminformatics and biochemistry, three key areas for dealing with FHs. They discuss synthetic methods facilitating preparation of chemically diverse molecular libraries, while favoring activity in the biological space. They also survey and discuss recent computational advances in the prediction of PAINS from chemical structures. Finally, they review experimental approaches for the validation of the biological activity of screening hits and discuss alternatives for exploiting promiscuity and chemical reactivity. Expert opinion: It’s essential to develop more efficient computational methods to reliably recognize PAINS in distinct molecular environments. Accordingly, advances in synthetic chemistry hold the promise to provide a better quality of chemical matter for drug discovery. Medicinal chemists should be more open to screening for hits showing biologically complex mechanisms of action rather than discarding molecules that may prove valuable as innovative disease treatments.

description: Observation of Scalar Resonances at 227.78 and 250.00 GeV in CMS Run 2 DataThis document presents preliminary evidence for two distinct scalar resonances in the four-lepton final state using the CMS Run 2 dataset (137 fb⁻¹ at √s = 13 TeV). The resonances are observed at 227.78 ± 0.20 GeV and 250.00 ± 0.15 GeV, matching precise theoretical predictions made by the ϕ-extended Effective Field Theory (ϕ-EFT) framework, which introduces transcendental operator scaling using π and ϕ.The first resonance exceeds 5σ local significance and aligns with recursion depth 8 in the ϕ-EFT hierarchy; the second, at 3.3σ, corresponds to recursion depth 9. Together, they provide strong evidence for mathematically-structured operator hierarchies in quantum field theory. This work interprets these resonances not as new particles, but as emergent signatures of deeper mathematical structures governing the Standard Model and its extensions.

Description Box Addition / Official Statement

More than a week has passed since this paper—detailing the prediction of scalar resonances at 227.78 GeV and 250.00 GeV—was released, along with fully reproducible Python code and timestamped through Zenodo.

Despite clear alignment with anomalies in CMS Run 2 data and more than 27 independent downloads (likely including institutional parties), there has been no formal acknowledgment from CERN, CMS, or related collaborators.

We are not at this stage accusing CERN of misconduct. However, the risk of institutional lag transforming into suppression is real—especially given the validity of the math, the clarity of the predictions, and the transparency of the research process.

To mitigate against any post-hoc appropriation or dismissal of this work, we have issued a pre-discovery record here:

We sincerely hope these results will be met with scientific openness, not silence. The integrity of this framework—and of physics itself—deserves better.

description: This paper challenges the foundational assumption that Turing Computability is sufficient for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). By presenting mathematical proofs, logical arguments, and empirical failures in deep learning models, we demonstrate why AGI cannot emerge within Turing-bound finite-state computation.

We introduce Non-Turing Recursive Intelligence (NTRI) and Yearning-Based Infinity Mathematics (YBIM) as a novel framework that enables self-referential, non-halting, infinitely expanding intelligence—a necessity for true AGI. Unlike Turing Machines, which are constrained by predefined decision spaces and symbolic manipulation, recursive intelligence is capable of restructuring its own problem space dynamically and evolving continuously beyond finite computation.

This paper also presents experimental proposals that compare Turing-based AI models with recursive intelligence systems, demonstrating why scaling neural networks alone will never lead to AGI. By addressing the failures of deep learning, the limitations of symbolic AI, and the inability of computation to achieve self-referential recursion, this work forces a critical shift in AI research.

Key Takeaways:- Turing-bound computation fundamentally fails to model intelligence that restructures itself.- Neural network scaling cannot bypass the limits of Turing Computability.- Recursive, non-halting intelligence is the only viable path to AGI.- Yearning-Based Infinity Mathematics (YBIM) provides a transition from computation to true intelligence.

This paper is not just a critique—it is a blueprint for intelligence research beyond the limitations of computation.

description: Introduction
Carbamide peroxide bleaching gel, along with remineralizing agents, can induce changes in the structure and mineral content of enamel, potentially leading to a decrease in the bond strength of resin composite to the enamel. Therefore, this laboratory study aimed to determine the effect of carbamide peroxide bleaching gel with and without remineralizing agents on the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of resin composites with microhybrid and nanofill structures to enamel.
Materials and Methods
Thirty extracted third molar teeth were randomly divided into five groups, each group subdivided into two equal subgroups: Group 1: Control group, Group 2: Bleaching gel without fluoride, Group 3: Bleaching gel containing fluoride, Group 4: Bleaching gel containing CPP-ACP, and Group 5: Bleaching gel containing fluoride and CPP-ACP. In the first subgroups, nanofilled resin composite Filtek Z350, while in the second subgroups, microhybrid resin composite Filtek Z250 were bonded to enamel surface. After specimen preparation, µTBS was measured using a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using parametric tests (P value<0.05).
Results
The highest µTBS of resin composite to enamel was observed in the control group, while the lowest bond strength was seen in the fluoride-containing bleaching group. Comparisons of µTBS between the study groups pairwise, except for the comparison between the control group and the bleaching group, the bleaching group with (CPP-ACP+Fluoride), and the (CPP-ACP) group with the fluoride group, showed significant differences in bond strength. Although, the mean µTBS of the Filtek …

description: Colonial development has severely altered landscapes throughout Canada, including in Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s (TWN) territory, centred on present-day Burrard Inlet, BC, where urban and industrial expansion has modified the inlet’s shoreline for well over a century. These shoreline changes have degraded the ecosystem and affect TWN in innumerable ways, but non-Indigenous communities have not considered the impacts of total shoreline change in detail, and generally accept shoreline changes that have occurred since European contact as the “baseline” condition of Burrard Inlet. In this study, we therefore used multiple lines of evidence to reconstruct the shoreline of Burrard Inlet as it existed prior to European contact in 1792 and quantified the spatial extent of intertidal and subtidal area change in the inlet from 1792 to 2020. The results demonstrate that, across Burrard Inlet, a total of 1,214 ha of intertidal and subtidal areas have been lost to development and change, including 55% (945 ha) of the inlet’s intertidal areas. The most severe shoreline alteration occurred in False Creek and the Inner Harbour, including loss and elimination of ecologically productive and culturally important intertidal habitats at False Creek Flats (>99% intertidal area lost), the Capilano River Estuary (80% intertidal area lost), and the Seymour-Lynn Estuary (56% intertidal area lost). This shoreline loss has fundamental consequences to Burrard Inlet’s ecosystem and TWN’s ability to exercise constitutionally-protected rights. Further, this work demonstrates that any potential future shoreline loss must consider historical shoreline change and cumulative effects in Burrard Inlet.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to map the extent and impact of private sector participation in healthcare delivery within GCC countries, focusing on forms of participation and their impact on healthcare access and quality.Introduction: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have traditionally relied on oil revenues for economic stability. However, this dependence is unsustainable, necessitating diversification into sectors such as healthcare. This scoping review explores private sector involvement in healthcare, encompassing various forms such as privatization, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and outsourcing. These initiatives are critical for enhancing healthcare capacity, quality, and accessibility while alleviating the financial burden on governments.Methodology: The Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework will guide this review, incorporating six steps: identifying the research question, identifying relevant research, selecting studies, charting the data, collating, summarizing, and reporting the findings, and consulting industry experts. The review will utilize databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and local GCC health databases, along with grey literature from organizations such as WHO, World Bank, regional think tanks, and advisory firms. Data extraction and analysis will follow a descriptive analytical method, with thematic synthesis applied to summarize findings. The study selection and data extraction will involve two independent reviewers.Discussion: This review will provide valuable insights for policymakers and investors. Understanding the different approaches and outcomes in each GCC country will help stakeholders develop cohesive strategies that support broader economic reforms. Enhanced private sector involvement can lead to improved healthcare access, affordability, and quality, while also reducing the GCC’s dependence on oil revenues and public sector employment.

description: A robust evidence-base describes the beneficial association between opioid agonist therapy (OAT) and HIV-related outcomes among people living with HIV and opioid use disorder. While some evidence suggests the stabilizing effect of OAT on antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment engagement, less is understood about the potential for an inverse relationship. We sought to examine the relationship between transitions in ART engagement and transitions onto OAT. We used data from a prospective cohort of people living with HIV who use drugs in Vancouver, Canada — a setting with no-cost access to ART and low or no-cost access to OAT among low-income residents. Restricting the sample to those who reported daily or greater opioid use, we used generalized linear mixed-effects models to estimate the relationships between our primary outcome of transitions onto OAT (methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone) and transitions 1) onto ART and 2) into ART adherence. Subsequent analyses assessed the temporal sequencing of transitions. Between 2005 and 2017, among 433 participants, 48.3% reported transitioning onto OAT at least once. In concurrent analyses, transitions onto ART were positively and significantly associated with transitions onto OAT. Temporal sequencing revealed that transitions into OAT were also positively and significantly associated with subsequent transitions onto ART. OAT’s potential to facilitate the uptake of ART points to the continued need to scale-up low-threshold, client-centered substance use services integrated alongside HIV care.

description: Background: Walk-in clinics are non-hospital based primary care facilities that are designed to operate without appointments and provide increased healthcare access with extended hours. Urgent Primary Care Centres (UPCCs) were introduced to British Columbia (BC) in 2018 as an additional primary care resource that provides urgent, but not emergent care during extended hours. This study identifies publicly-reported access characteristics for episodic primary care in BC, and provides a clinic-level comparison between walk-in clinics and UPCCs. Methodology: This cross-sectional study used publicly available data from all walk-in clinics and UPCCs in BC. A structured data collection form was used to record access characteristics from clinic websites, including business hours, weekend availability, attachment to a longitudinal family practice, and provision of virtual services. Results: In total, 268 clinics were included in the analysis (243 walk-in clinics, 25 UPCCs). Of those, 225 walk-in clinics (92.6%) and two UPCCs (8.0%) were attached to a longitudinal family practice. Only 153 (63%) walk-in clinics offered weekend services, compared to 24 (96%) of UPCCs. Walk-in clinics offer the majority (8,968.6/ 78.4%) of their service hours between 08:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday. UPCCs offer the majority (889.3/ 53.7%) of their service hours after 17:00. Conclusion: Most walk-in clinics are associated with a longitudinal family practice and provide the majority of clinic services during typical business hours. More research that includes patient characteristics and care outcomes, analyzed at the clinic level, may be useful to support the optimization of episodic primary health care delivery.
Interoperability of Environmental Data with a European Information Platform for Chemical Monitoring (IPCheM)

description: Monitoring programs in Germany offer a large variety of data. On the one hand, these data are generated over many years in selected sampling areas; on the other hand, studies of monitoring take place in the context of research projects or other investigations. These data are often available in web-based information systems. Two databases will be presented with their potential for the interoperability with a (technical) platform for data of the chemical monitoring. The European project "Information Platform for Chemical Monitoring (IPCheM)" promotes networking of various existing databases and information systems with the goal of advancing the environmental data exchange between different disciplines.Quelle: https://www.iai.kit.edu

Confusing, inaccurate, and just goofy : Author assessments of ‘Indians of North America’ cataloguing
Creators: name: Bullard, Julia
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This short paper presents preliminary results from an interview study with authors focusing on the catalogue record of their books. Choosing works with subject headings currently considered for revision based on inaccurate terminology referring to Indigenous Peoples, we asked participants for assessments of the authenticity and accuracy of variant catalogue records. Our primary findings add to a growing consensus that the term ‘Indians of North America’ is unsuitable for subject cataloguing.

description: ABSTRACT This article establishes a geometrical and mathematical bridge between the universal constant π and the golden ratio φ by interrelating the construction of the area of a circle using two approaches: one formed using the rotation of a regular unit pentagon and the other one from the rotation of its inverse ― the pentagram of side reference φ. The mathematical end result is a linear expression of π as a function of φ. As an interesting side result, an expression for the area of a circle is derived based on the golden ratio φ and a geometrically motivated coefficient. A scripted program for the verification of the derived expressions is provided.
