Description of the built environment associated with fatal heat-related injuries during the 2021 western North American extreme heat event
Creators: name: Chinowsky, Emily E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: British Columbia (BC) experienced 619 heat-related deaths during the 2021 heat dome, according to the BC Coroners Service (BCCS). Many of those deaths were among highly susceptible people, with poverty, schizophrenia, and other chronic conditions being significant risk factors for death in epidemiologic analyses. Many of the fatal heat-related injuries were recorded in specific building types, including mobile homes and high-rise multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs). Understanding these built environment characteristics where injuries and deaths occurred could assist in planning for future extreme heat events and implementing measures to mitigate potential injuries. However, developing this understanding has previously required physical access to individual sites to document their specific attributes, which is resource-intensive and prohibitive for large-scale studies. This study demonstrates the potential to leverage publicly available imagery to reduce the effort required to gather built environment characteristics. By combining street addresses of known fatal heat-related injuries with satellite and street view data from Google Maps and Earth, the study collected data for each site where an injury occurred. Analysis of the information found disproportionate representation of specific building types, absence of greenery and mature trees, and built environment density patterns in multiple settings. The study results indicate that characteristics such as building orientation, amount of glass surface area, and the condition of structures could all factor into risk to susceptible people during extreme heat events. Furthermore, two distinct building typologies were among these injury locations: high-rise MURBs with high window-to-façade surface area ratio and older, shorter buildings with few windows. The study demonstrated the value of publicly available visual data, and methods could be applied to other disasters such as wildfires and floods.

description: Studies with magnetoencephalography (MEG) are still quite rarely combined simultaneously with methods that can provide a metabolic dimension to MEG investigations. In addition, continuous blood pressure measurements which comply with MEG compatibility requirements are lacking. For instance, by combining methods reflecting neurovascular status one could obtain more information on low frequency fluctuations that have recently gained increasing interest as a mediator of functional connectivity within brain networks. This paper presents a multimodal brain imaging setup, capable to non-invasively and continuously measure cerebral hemodynamic, cardiorespiratory and blood pressure oscillations simultaneously with MEG. In the setup, all methods apart from MEG rely on the use of fibre optics. In particular, we present a method for measuring of blood pressure and cardiorespiratory oscillations continuously with MEG. The potential of this type of multimodal setup for brain research is demonstrated by our preliminary studies on human, showing effects of mild hypercapnia, gathered simultaneously with the presented modalities.

description: Psychosocial interventions have an important role in promoting recovery in people with persisting psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Readily available, digital technology provides a means of developing therapeutic resources for use together by practitioners and mental health service users. As part of the Self-Management and Recovery Technology (SMART) research program, we have developed an online resource providing materials on illness self-management and personal recovery based on the Connectedness-Hope-Identity-Meaning-Empowerment (CHIME) framework. Content is communicated using videos featuring persons with lived experience of psychosis discussing how they have navigated issues in their own recovery. This was developed to be suitable for use on a tablet computer during sessions with a mental health worker to promote discussion about recovery.

description: The incomplete-hippocampal-inversion (IHI), also known as malrotation, is an atypical anatomical pattern of the hippocampus, which has been reported in healthy subjects in different studies. However, extensive characterization of IHI in a large sample has not yet been performed. Furthermore, it is unclear whether IHI are restricted to the medial-temporal lobe or are associated with more extensive anatomical changes. Here, we studied the characteristics of IHI in a community-based sample of 2008 subjects of the IMAGEN database and their association with extra-hippocampal anatomical variations. The presence of IHI was assessed on T1-weighted anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using visual criteria. We assessed the association of IHI with other anatomical changes throughout the brain using automatic morphometry of cortical sulci. We found that IHI were much more frequent in the left hippocampus (left: 17%, right: 6%, χ2−test, p < 10−28). Compared to subjects without IHI, subjects with IHI displayed morphological changes in several sulci located mainly in the limbic lobe. Our results demonstrate that IHI are a common left-sided phenomenon in normal subjects and that they are associated with morphological changes outside the medial temporal lobe.
A response to 'Broadband facts, fictions, and urban myths', by Prof. Rodney Tucker
Creators: name: Kenny, Robert
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper responds to an earlier paper by Prof. Rodney Tucker, 'Broadband facts, fiction and urban myths' (Tucker 2010), which suggested that many of the criticisms of Australia's NBN superfast broadband project were founded on myths. This paper argues that the 'myths' Prof. Tucker cites are in fact legitimate criticisms. It points out that there are numerous examples of the benefits of technology being overestimated. For fibre broadband, high penetration in other countries has frequently depended on very aggressive pricing, perhaps because there are still no 'killer apps' that require it. Nor is the simultaneous usage of existing apps likely to add up to a high enough bandwidth requirement to justify fibre, and the rate of growth of domestic data consumption is likely to slow. Moreover, the capabilities of alternative, far cheaper technologies continue to grow rapidly, leaving a diminishing set of cases that actually require expensive fibre to the home.
Revisiting the steering law : curvature, complexity, and the path to a new predictive model
Creators: name: Chen, Jennie Jia Yi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The Steering Law has long been a fundamental model in predicting movement time for tasks involving navigating through constrained paths such as menu selections and virtual environments. The base model and past research on its extensions primarily focused on simple geometries such as straight lines and simple or compound circular arcs. While useful in simple user interfaces, they do not capture the complexities of real-world tasks where curvatures can vary arbitrarily. This limits the generalizability of the model to envi- ronments where users interact with more irregular paths. This thesis revisits and extends the Steering Law by introducing the total curvature pa- rameter K into the equation to account for the overall curviness characteristic of a path. Drawing on an information-theoretic interpretation of human motor behavior, we propose an extension to the Steering Law where K contributes as logarithmic noise in the movement time prediction equation: MT= a + b L + c·log2(K + 1) + d L·K To validate this extension, we conducted a mouse-steering experiment (N= 20) on fixed- width paths characterized by 3 levels of length and 3 levels of curviness. Width was held constant to isolate curvature effects. Results demonstrate that the introduction of K significantly improves model fitness for movement time prediction over traditional models. We further identify a significant in- teraction between length and curviness, which led to improved performance when incor- porated into the model. We also show that previous models developed for circular arc trajectories, when reformulated using the K parameter, generalize well to our experimental data. These findings support the hypothesis that curvature introduces a form of perceptual or motor noise that increases task difficulty in human steering behavior. Beyond empirical validation, this thesis presents a detailed account of the theoretical framing and experimental reasoning through a series of pilot studies and design explo- ration that informed the final model design. By integrating curvature in complex curved paths, this work advances our understanding of movement in curved paths and supports potential applications in fields like speech motor control and virtual navigation.

description: Aerodynamics plays an important role in aviation industry and aircraft design. Detecting and minimizing the phenomenon of flow separation from scattered pressure data on airfoil is critical for ensuring stable and efficient aviation. However, since it is challenging to understand the mechanics of flow field separation, the aerodynamic parameters are emphasized for the identification and control of flow separation. It has been investigated extensively using traditional algorithms and machine learning methods such as the support vector machine (SVM) models. Recently, a growing interest in quantum computing and its applications among wide research communities sheds light upon the use of quantum techniques to solve aerodynamic problems. In this paper, we apply qSVM, a quantum SVM algorithm based on the quantum annealing model, to identify whether there is flow separation, with their performance in comparison to the widely-used classical SVM. We show that our approach outperforms the classical SVM with an 11.1% increase of the accuracy, from 0.818 to 0.909, for this binary classification task. We further develop multi-class qSVMs based on one-against-all algorithm. We apply it to classify multiple types of the attack angles to the wings, where the advantage over the classical multi-class counterpart is maintained with an accuracy increased from 0.67 to 0.79, by 17.9%. Our work demonstrates a useful quantum technique for classifying flow separation scenarios, and may promote rich investigations for quantum computing applications in fluid dynamics.

description: Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) have a 100‐fold increased risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). We prospectively evaluated the association between β genus human papillomaviruses (βPV) and keratinocyte carcinoma in OTRs. Two OTR cohorts without cSCC were assembled: cohort 1 was transplanted in 2003‐2006 (n = 274) and cohort 2 was transplanted in 1986‐2002 (n = 352). Participants were followed until death or cessation of follow‐up in 2016. βPV infection was assessed in eyebrow hair by using polymerase chain reaction–based methods. βPV IgG seroresponses were determined with multiplex serology. A competing risk model with delayed entry was used to estimate cumulative incidence of histologically proven cSCC and the effect of βPV by using a multivariable Cox regression model. Results are reported as adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). OTRs with 5 or more different βPV types in eyebrow hair had 1.7 times the risk of cSCC vs OTRs with 0 to 4 different types (HR 1.7, 95% confidence interval 1.1‐2.6). A similar risk was seen with high βPV loads (HR 1.8, 95% confidence interval 1.2‐2.8). No significant associations were seen between serum antibodies and cSCC or between βPV and basal cell carcinoma. The diversity and load of βPV types in eyebrow hair are associated with cSCC risk in OTRs, providing evidence that βPV is associated with cSCC carcinogenesis and may present a target for future preventive strategies.
Effect of GM-CSF on RNA and protein in human peripheral blood granulocytes.

description: Human granulocytes are the most abundant circulating leukocyte, and are critical in protection against microbial infection. These cells are terminally differentiated and highly specialized, possessing very little RNA and protein synthesis. It was believed that transcription and translation were unnecessary for granulocyte functioning, but it is now understood that these processes play a role in some responses. The cytokine GM-CSF, which can be released at inflammatory sites, is an important granulocyte effector. At least one GM-CSF-induced response (i.e., delay in spontaneous apoptosis) has been shown previously to require both transcription and translation. I undertook to examine RNA and protein in these cells, given the importance and need of study. (i) Using DDRT-PCR, hsgk (a putative serine/threonine kinase) mRNA was found to be upregulated ∼10-fold for at least 12 h with ≥ 0.1 ng/mL GM-CSF. (ii) GM-CSF increased [3H]uridine uptake into RNA by ∼10-fold in 6-h cultures. At least 90% of 3 H-RNA was derived from polymerase II, but most appeared to be nonpolyadenylated hnRNA. Granulocytes appear sluggish to synthesize mature cytoplasmic mRNA. Probing granulocyte total RNA with serglycin proteoglycan intron sequences revealed that transcriptional elongation may be the rate-limiting step. (iii) An unknown 26--27 kDa protein demonstrated the largest increase in [ 35S]methionine-labeling (2--4 fold) with GM-CSF-stimulation. This protein could not be identified. (iv) Immunoblotting of Bcl-2 family members revealed only the pro-apoptotic Bax. These proteins apparently are not involved in GM-CSF-induced apoptotic delay. (v) hTegt mRNA was found highly expressed in granulocytes, but was unaffected by GM-CSF. This conserved, little-studied protein was analyzed further. Although the function of hTegt in granulocytes and other cells could not be determined, several properties were uncovered that could be beneficial in future studies. More RNA and protein species remain to be identified in granulocytes, but this work has furthered understanding of the few that are expressed.
Towards a Cultural-Structural Theory of Suicide : Examining Excessive Regulation and its Discontents

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Despite its enduring insights, Durkheim’s theory of suicide fails to account for a significant set of cases because of its overreliance on structural forces to the detriment of other possible factors. In this paper, we develop a new theoretical framework for thinking about the role of culture in vulnerability to suicide. We argue that by focusing on the cultural dynamics of excessive regulation, particularly at the meso-level, a more robust sociological model for suicide could be offered that supplements structure-heavy Durkheimian theory. In essence, we argue that the relevance of cultural regulation to suicide rests on (1) the degree to which culture is coherent in sociocultural places, (2) the existence of directives related to prescribing or proscribing suicide, (3) the degree to which these directives translate into internalized meanings affecting social psychological processes, and (4) the degree to which the social space is bounded. We then illustrate how our new theory provides useful insights into three cases of suicide largely neglected within sociology: Specifically, suicide clusters in high schools, suicide in the military, and suicides of “despair” among middle-aged white men. We conclude with implications for future sociological research on suicide and suicide prevention.

description: Partial protonation (10--12 atom% H) of a series of perdeuteriomonosubstituted aromatic compounds (98--99.5 atom% D) was effected by exchange with water in the presence of activated platinum metal. The products were subjected to analyses by mass-spectrometry and N.M.R. spectrometry. From a knowledge of the amount of protium introduced in the ortho, meta and para positions, partial rate factors for each of a series of monosubstituted benzenes were calculated. A correlation was found with the A values reported in the literature for the steric effect of different substituents. No relationship between electronic factors and directive effects of the substituent was apparent. The data obtained are interpreted with respect to the most likely mechanism for the exchange reaction.

description: Given a function $f : A \to \mathbb{R}^n$ of a certain regularity defined on some open subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$, it is a classical problem of analysis to investigate whether the function can be extended to all of $\mathbb{R}^m$ in a certain regularity class. If an extension exists and is continuous, then certainly it is uniquely determined on the closure of $A$. A similar problem arises in general relativity for Lorentzian manifolds instead of functions on $\mathbb{R}^m$. It is well-known, however, that even if the extension of a Lorentzian manifold $(M,g)$ is analytic, various choices are in general possible at the boundary. This paper establishes a uniqueness condition for extensions of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds $(M,g)$ with a focus on low regularities: any two extensions which are anchored by an inextendible causal curve $γ: [-1,0) \to M$ in the sense that $γ$ has limit points in both extensions, must agree locally around those limit points on the boundary as long as the extensions are at least locally Lipschitz continuous.

description: Les pratiques d'enseignement de la lecture à l'élémentaire représentent un facteur des plus importants à considérer pour donner le goût de lire aux élèves et pour favoriser leur réussite en lecture (Dreher, 2003; Snow, Burns et Griffin, 1998). D'ailleurs, les pratiques les plus efficaces des enseignants en lecture sont aujourd'hui bien connues grâce à un grand nombre d'études effectuées sur le sujet (Block, Oakar et Hurt, 2002; Menon et Hiebert, 2005; Taylor, Peterson, Pearson et Rodriguez, 2002). Toutefois, peu de recherches ont donné la parole aux enseignants afin de connaître comment ils ont construit leurs pratiques exemplaires (Wharton-McDonald, Pressley et Hampton, 1998). L'objectif de cette thèse est d'examiner de quelle manière des enseignants qui favorisent la réussite en lecture de tous leurs élèves en sont arrivés a construire des pratiques aussi efficaces. Des entrevues en profondeur de type phénoménologique (Seidman, 2006) réalisées auprès de 6 enseignants qui adoptent des pratiques exemplaires permettent de connaître (1) leurs expériences passées de lecteur et d'enseignant, (2) leurs pratiques d'enseignement de la lecture et de lecteur au présent et (3) le sens qu'ils accordent aux expériences relatées ainsi qu'à leur pratique. Des analyses individuelles et comparatives sont effectuées à partir des profils de chacun des enseignants à la suite des entrevues. Les enseignants participants sont par ailleurs appelés à approuver ces profils ainsi que les analyses de leur entrevue afin d'assurer la validité (Savoie-Zajc, 2000) et un travail de co-construction de sens (Vygotski, 1978). Les résultats dévoilent diverses expériences vécues par les participants, leurs objectifs et leurs valeurs personnelles et professionnelles, ainsi que les liens qu'entretiennent ces derniers éléments avec leurs pratiques pédagogiques efficaces. Il appert que les pratiques de ces enseignants sont socioconstruites d'une part à l'aide de l'intéraction avec d'autres tels des collègues, des professeurs, la direction, les élèves et, d'autre part, à l'aide de leurs valeurs et leurs objectifs ainsi que leur engagement personnel et professionnel.

description: Over the last three decades, the research for new fault detection and diagnosis techniques in machining processes and rotating machinery has attracted increasing interest worldwide. This development was mainly stimulated by the rapid growth of industrial technologies and the increase in complexity of machining and machinery systems. In this study, a two-stage monitoring system is proposed. The first stage consists of developing four generic condition indicators to detect transient and continuous anomalies. These indices are then fused to improve the fault detection using two fuzzy methods: a fuzzy-set based fusion and a fuzzy-rule based fusion. In the first approach a condition index is developed based on the min-max technique, whereas in the second method a fuzzy fused index (FFI) is defined using the Sugeno-style inference engine and a list of detection rules representing the knowledge gained through learning and experience of domain experts. Additionally, an index of deterioration is developed as part of the first fusion approach. The second stage forms the fault diagnosis part of the monitoring system. A discrete hidden Markov model is developed to identify the severity of the fault and to isolate its location. Methods are applied to two types of problems: tool wear/fracture and bearing faults. Results obtained from experimental evaluations show a minimum detection, classification, and isolation rate of 95%. Particularly, the FFI is found sensitive to fault severity and not susceptible to speed and load changes. On the diagnosis front, the training required to define the hidden Markov model does not exceed five seconds in both monitoring cases.

description: In order to make sense of a message conveyed to us via a spoken or written utterance, we understand what things are talked about, and how they are connected. From this point of view, do these sentences convey different messages? (1) I will arrive at 11 am. and I will arrive when you arrive. (2) I will meet you in the office. and I will meet you where we met last time. (3) Sweets before dinner spoil your appetite. and (4) Eating sweets before dinner spoils your appetite. I will arrive at a certain point in time: at 11 am., or when you arrive. I will meet you at a certain place: in the office, or where we met last time. We can talk about sweets and mean eating sweets. Literature review suggests that the relations exemplified by these pairs of sentences are different, because they connect different types of syntactic units. The first relation in each pair connects a verb and one of its arguments, the second---two clauses. Such distinctions are artificial. Semantic relations link concepts, and will surface on the syntactic level on which the concepts they connect surface. We aim to give an account of semantic relations that does not depend on syntactic levels. We will justify a unified view of semantic relations across syntactic levels. Such a view has a positive effect on text analysis. It will allow us to gather evidence for a particular semantic relation from all levels at which it appears. Having such information that is not separated according to syntactic levels will allow a text analysis and knowledge acquisition system to use at each processing step, all the evidence previously gathered. We will show that this translates into faster learning and better results. We can take semantic relation analysis onto another level. We can look for descriptions of concepts connected by a specific semantic relation to find what characteristics or features of the concepts connected make them interact in this way. (1) blue book, happy person, interesting study; (2) paper bag, wooden chair, iron gate; (3) oak tree, cumulus cloud, flounder fish. Blue, happy, interesting are properties, and paper, wood, iron are materials. Oak is a specific type of tree, cumulus is a type of cloud, and flounder is a type of fish. We will use ontologies to find similarities between concepts that explain or give us indications about the semantic relations in which they are involved. All these aspects we explore serve to improve text analysis. We propose a uniform processing of texts that allows us to extracts pairs of concepts that interact, and to describe this interaction through semantic relations.

Die Wende zum guten Leben

Year: 2016

description: Deutschland hat mit der Unterzeichnung des Paris-Abkommens und der beabsichtigten Ratifizierung den weitreichenden Beschluss gefasst, bis 2050 eine weitgehend treibhausgasneutrale Lebensform zu schaffen. Die Zustimmung zu einem Vertrag, der vorsieht, weniger als anderthalb Tonnen CO2-Äquivalente pro Kopf und Jahr seiner Bevölkerung an Emissionen zuzulassen, muss mit Maßnahmen unterlegt werden, die sicherstellen, dass in den verbleibenden knapp 35 Jahren das Ziel einer Treibhausgasemissionsminderung um etwa 95% erreicht werden kann.Die Ergebnisse des Paris-Abkommens verlangen eine Veränderung unseres Lebensstils. Ein "Weiter so" geht nicht.Angrick stellt daher die einzelnen Wendepolitiken, die zur Erreichung der Ziele des Paris-Abkommens notwendig sind, kurz dar sowie deren Notwendigkeiten und analysiert das jeweilige Potenzial zum Scheitern. Mit diesem "Kurzcheck" soll ein Beitrag geleistet werden, der Politik zu zeigen, wo sie in bestimmten wichtigen Zukunftsfeldern steht und welche Anstrengungen (noch) zu unternehmen sind, um bestimmte Zielsetzungen zu verwirklichen.Dieser Kurzcheck dient zu einer Positionsbestimmung und soll politischen Entscheidern helfen, mutigere und vorausschauende Beschlüsse zu fassen. Wer die nationalen Wendepolitiken allerdings derzeit betrachtet, kommt zu dem Urteil, dass noch viel zu tun bleibt. Zurzeit üben wir vielfach die erforderlichen Wendemanöver nur, täuschen sie an. Für deren Ausführung sind wir noch nicht wirklich gerüstet.

Evaluating SOPA: who should enforce IP online?
Creators: name: Weatherall, Kimberlee
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, was a highly controversial proposal put to US Congress to enable the enforcement of copyright and trade mark law against foreign 'rogue' websites. SOPA would have enlisted a range of new intermediaries in the online enforcement 'war': in particular, domain name servers, credit card providers and online advertising service providers. This article outlines the proposals that were included in SOPA and critically analyses the simplistic 'least cost avoider' reasoning that justifies enlistment of these intermediaries on the basis that there is an online enforcement problem that they could assist in reducing. Although SOPA itself is politically dead, ideas embodied in it are likely to recur in some form in the future. It is therefore worth critically examining what was proposed.
