Elogio de la diversidad. Acerca del manifiesto de la creolidad de Jean Bernabé, Raphaël Confiant y Patrick Chamoiseau
Creators: name: Pampin, Maria Fernanda

Year: 2011

description: From reading In praise of Creoleness (1988) by Jean Bernabé, Raphaël Confiant y Patrick Chamoiseau, this paper propose to approach to the need of establishing a Creole literature in the Caribbean islands. With this objective, it considers the relationships that set the group of Creoleness with Negritude and the Caribbeanness, especially through its main exponents: Aimé Césaire and Édouard Glissant. It covers the main points of the manifesto of the Creoleness paying special attention to the features that takes "diversity”, as this concept becomes the basis on which the authors are supported to enhance the Creole culture. Thus, you can see in the text a shift in modes of perception of others that defines not only a change in terminology but also a change of perspective: the world Creole ceases to be exotic to start to be diverse.

A wideband magnetic field probe with particular emphasis on low frequency characteristics.
Creators: name: Frikha, Mondher.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Measurement of transients of ambient power-line frequency magnetic fields is becoming increasingly important because of the possibility that exposure to such fields may produce effects to communication systems and various electronic devices as well as human health. Many studies have been concerned with magnetic field measurements over a wide frequency range but small attention has been paid to the measurement of transient fields. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of developing a magnetic field probe operating in a broad frequency range, including the power line frequency (60 Hz), which would also be suitable for measurements of transient fields (their magnitude and phase). The sensor was modeled, simulated using computer simulation and finally designed. Its performance was tested in time and frequency domains. The sensor, which provides constant amplitude and phase response from 30 Hz to around 5 MHz for the magnetic field, has a minimal response to the electric field (30 dB or less), a sensitivity of 0.48 V/A $m\sp{-1}$ and wide dynamic range (greater than 40 dB).
Towards Adaptive Coastal Management Law: Lessons from Australia and Brazil

description: Adaptive management has long been promulgated as an appropriate approach to address the complexity and dynamics of social-ecological systems. This approach acknowledges that uncertainties will always exist in relation to these systems; therefore, management should be designed and implemented as a structured and iterative learning process through which management actions are assessed, selected, implemented, monitored, evaluated, and continuously adjusted in light of new information or change. Despite its deep theoretical basis, translating adaptive management into practice has proven to be a challenge. Within this context, there have been increased efforts in recent decades to answer more specific research questions on how to reduce legal constraints to adaptive management. Yet, research on how law may hinder or facilitate adaptive management is still limited in several natural resource management fields, including coastal management. Drawing on case studies of local government areas in Australia (Byron Shire, a local government area in the State of New South Wales) and Brazil (Florianópolis, a municipality in the State of Santa Catarina), this study addresses this gap by contributing to improved knowledge on the role of law in adaptive coastal management. Four specific objectives address this overall aim: (i) to examine the relationship between adaptive management of social-ecological systems and law; (ii) to analyse how adaptive management has been used for coastal management; (iii) to identify legal barriers to adaptive coastal management; and (iv) to propose directions for coupling adaptive coastal management and law. Guided by the interpretivist paradigm, research methods involved a qualitative content analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews of 50 key informants from four different stakeholder groups (government, non-government organisations, legal experts, and technical experts). Interview data was analysed in NVivo using an inductive thematic coding strategy.
Country of origin effects on consumer cognitive processing

description: While country of origin (COO) effects has been studied diversely, little research exists within the Australian field. This research attempted to extend on the COO phenomena to acknowledge the importance of COO from an Australian perspective. With new government laws and regulations concerning country-of-origin-labelling (CoOL) enforced, affects concerning COO information on consumer cognitive processing has become vital for companies to understand, aiding in effectively marketing their products. Furthermore, the use of single cues within previous research has compromised validity of results, generalizing that COO has a large affect of consumer evaluations. While previous literature has focused predominantly on high valued products, this research project offers a unique perspective of COO affects through the use of low valued items. The use of multiple cues within this project identifies that COO still remains prominent in a purchase evaluation, contrary to recent findings. Results from the focus groups indicate that COO cues do indeed impact on the cognitive processing of consumers. Furthermore, COO cues were utilised by participants as a brand recognition tool, substantiating the affect in which COO cues have on a purchase evaluation.

description: Background: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a devastating and progressive disorder, and a common cause of early onset dementia. Progranulin (PGRN) haploinsufficiency due to autosomal dominant mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) is an important cause of FTLD (FTLD-GRN), and nearly a quarter of these genetic cases are due to a nonsense mutation. Premature termination codons (PTC) can be therapeutically targeted by compounds allowing readthrough, and aminoglycoside antibiotics are known to be potent PTC readthrough drugs. Restoring endogenous PGRN through PTC readthrough has not previously been explored as a therapeutic intervention in FTLD. Methods: We studied whether the aminoglycoside G418 could increase PGRN expression in HEK293 and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons bearing the heterozygous S116X, R418X, and R493X pathogenic GRN nonsense mutations. We further tested a novel substituted phthalimide PTC readthrough enhancer in combination with G418 in our cellular models. We next generated a homozygous R493X knock-in hiPSC isogenic line (R493X−/− KI), assessing whether combination treatment in hiPSC-derived neurons and astrocytes could increase PGRN and ameliorate lysosomal dysfunction relevant to FTLD-GRN. To provide in vivo proof-of-concept of our approach, we measured brain PGRN after intracerebroventricular administration of G418 in mice expressing the V5-tagged GRN nonsense mutation R493X. Results: The R418X and R493X mutant GRN cell lines responded to PTC readthrough with G418, and treatments increased PGRN levels in R493X−/− KI hiPSC-derived neurons and astrocytes. Combining G418 with a PTC readthrough enhancer increased PGRN levels over G418 treatment alone in vitro. PGRN deficiency has been shown to impair lysosomal function, and the mature form of the lysosomal protease cathepsin D is overexpressed in R493X−/− KI neurons. Increasing PGRN through G418-mediated PTC readthrough normalized this abnormal lysosomal phenotype in R493X−/− KI neuronal cultures. A single intracerebroventricular injection of G418 induced GRN PTC readthrough in 6-week-old AAV-GRN-R493X-V5 mice. Conclusions: Taken together, our findings suggest that PTC readthrough may be a potential therapeutic strategy for FTLD caused by GRN nonsense mutations.
AfroPerú: Tras las huellas de la negritud en el Perú

description: The purpose of this article is to develop a concrete investigation about the afro-descendants identities in
nowadays Peru through the analysis of the African presence in the colonial age, focusing on different phases such
as the abolition of slavery, the political independence and the statement of rights which for long time has been
denied to this social class, until the actuality. Further to the outlining of the historical and social background of the
afro element’s complexity in the survey of the variegated biological and cultural Peruvian mosaic, this case study
focus on the today’s afro-Peruvian identity’s question, investigating about characteristics, problems and ways of
interaction with the rest of the Peruvian population. Moreover, this analysis keeps track of the “negritude”, that
is the afro movement, in the Peruvian art, literature and culture. Thanks to a study experience in Peru of the
author, this piece offers also a picture of the current situation of afro-Peruvian communities and emphasizes the
social and cultural initiatives and also political measures taken in the last years in order to assert the distinctive
feature of the afro-Peruvian identity in Peru and all over the world.

El color cenizo. Representación del afroperuano en Los ríos profundos de J. M. Arguedas
Creators: name: Carazas, Milagros
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Para la lectura crítica de la obra de José María Arguedas (1911-1969) se han empleado
diversas perspectivas y hermenéuticas pero casi siempre el tema ha sido el mismo, la
representación del mundo andino y su problematización en nuestro contexto. Esto no
debiera extrañarnos considerando que se trata de un representante indiscutible del
indigenismo literario. Pero, como apunta el estudioso Antonio Cornejo Polar (1997),
Arguedas intentó describir todo el Perú y no tan sólo el indio y el mundo andino. Hay
un proceso de ampliaciones sucesivas a nivel temático en sus cuentos y novelas, que
es más notorio en Todas las sangres (1964). El título encierra una metáfora que alude a
la pluralidad étnica y el multilingüismo. En este sentido, intentó representar un país
diverso, contradictorio y desigual en la lucha de poderes y la distribución de la riqueza.
Justamente es así que Arguedas muestra un interés permanente en retratar esos
diversos grupos étnicos y/o culturales. Uno de ellos es sin duda el afroperuano. Este
último aparece como personaje del negrismo. Lo discutible es que en ciertas obras
literarias se observa la construcción de una imagen que lo desvalora, ya que se apelan
a estereotipos y atributos negativos. Aclaro que no hay una correcta manera de
representarlo, sólo que la recurrencia de elementos negativos para su descripción es
sintomática. Pareciera responder a los intereses clasistas y políticos del escritor criollo,
ajeno a la comunidad afroperuana y su cultura. Es al fin y al cabo una mirada desde
afuera.

El estereotipo invisible: imágenes del afrodescendiente en la narrativa argentina del siglo XIX
Creators: name: De Navascués, Javier

Year: 2011

description: This paper deals with different images of Black minorities in
Argentinian Literature during XIX th. century. At first, Afrodescendants numbered almost 25 % of the population. However, in comparison with other ethnic groups, such as the "gauchos",there are not literary works mainly concerned with Afroargentinian people. They only appear as secondary characters and they are reduced to one or two common places: the loyal servant o the brave soldier, for instance.
Ideological motivs could explain this absence. In fact, Black people
were exluded from a political agenda created by criollist
intellectuals from the historical origins of the Nation.

description: Slavery, which plaid a significant role in several ancient civilizations around the world, was supported by philosophers, theologians and popes. Even if its importance has been underestimated, the presence of black women and men is stated from the first expeditions to the River Plate (many times, by means of illegal traffic). Led by bishop Vitoria, that traffic increased since the late 16th century. Black women were often sexually exploited but, instead of paying attention to their problems, much of the literature has ignored them or has created an archetypal woman, characterized by beauty, sensuality and eroticism. With some exceptions, this image remains in our days.

description: Spotted gum – Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata (CCV) is an important native hardwood species in eastern Australia, particularly in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales. The 2019 – 2020 forest inventory of hardwood plantations in Queensland showed that the total area of hardwood plantations is 18,000 ha and dominated by spotted gums (about 62%). This species is considered one of the most prospective hardwood tree species for the economic purpose of timber production and for environmental purposes such as carbon sequestration and restoration of areas following soil degradation in subtropical areas of southeast Queensland.
description: To accurately estimate biomass and carbon sequestration, developing allometric models using destructive sampling methods is important. Several sets of allometric equations have been developed to estimate above and belowground biomass and carbon in forests in Australia. However, there are few published studies on aboveground biomass and no available studies on belowground biomass of spotted gum plantations. In particular, no studies have been conducted in Queensland due to the challenges of directly measuring both above and belowground tree biomass. The accuracy of allometric equations must be considered because they are widely used for estimating biomass in forested areas while avoiding destructive sampling of trees. In addition, having reliable allometric equations is key for understanding the dynamics of biomass and carbon stocks in long-rotation spotted gum plantations.
description: The objectives of this study, therefore, were to: (1) develop field sampling procedures for accurate quantification of above and belowground biomass; (2) develop species-specific allometric relationships to estimate belowground biomass using the variables of diameter at breast height and tree height; (3) establish the best allometric models for estimating aboveground biomass based on different independent variables such as diameter at breast height, tree height, wood density and crown variables; and (4) determine how biomass and carbon accumulation varies under different plantation conditions.

description: The Predynastic and Early Dynastic collection forms a significant part of the Egyptian collection in the National Gallery of Victoria. This collection as a whole is currently being studied for publication by Dr C.A. Hope. As state earlier, the majority of the material in the collection was excavated at the cemeteries of Diospolis Parva, in Upper Egypt. This site was excavated by Flinders Petrie in 1898-99, as will be discussed in the following chapter, and material from there excavations was allocated to Melbourne by the Egypt Exploration Fund (E.E.F) in 189?. In 1897-98 Petrie excavated at the site of Dendera and material from these excavations was also allocated to Melbourne, along with the Diospolis Parva material, in 1898. The material was presented to the Public Library, Museums and National Gallery of Victoria, at the end of 1898, although the objects themselves did not arrive until 16th January, 1899.

description: The need for aggregating privacy policies is present in a variety of application areas today. In traditional client/server models, websites host services along with their policies in different private domains. However, in a cloud-computing platform where aggregators can merge multiple services, users often face complex decisions in terms of choosing the right services from service providers. In this computing paradigm, the ability to aggregate policies as well as services will be useful and more effective for users that are privacy conscious regarding their sensitive or personal information. This thesis studies the problems associated with the Platform for Privacy Preference (P3P) language, and the present issues with communicating and understanding the P3P language. Furthermore, it discusses some efficient strategies and algorithms for the matching and the merging processes, and then elaborates on some privacy policy conflicts that may occur after merging policies. Lastly, the thesis presents a tool for matching and merging P3P policies. If successful, the merge produces an aggregate policy that is consistent with the policies of all participating service providers.

Spectral dissipation term for wave forecast models: experimental study

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: A field experimental study of wave energy dissipation is presented. The experiment was conducted at Lake George, Australia and allowed simultaneous measurements of the source functions in a broad range of conditions, including extreme wind-wave circumstances. Results revealed new physical mechanisms in the processes of spectral dissipation of wave energy, which are presently not accounted for in wave forecast models. The spectral dissipation was measured for the first time. Frequency distributions both for the wave breaking probability and breaking severity were obtained. The breaking of waves at a particular frequency was demonstrated to cause energy damping in a broad spectral band above that frequency, and thus causes a cumulative dissipative effect for waves of smaller scales. At the small scales (high frequencies), this cumulative dissipation appears to dominate compared to inherent wave-breaking dissipation. It was found that at moderate winds the dissipation is fully determined by the wave spectrum whereas at strong winds it is also a function of the wind speed. This result indicates that at extreme wind-forcing conditions a significant part of the extra energy flux is dissipated locally rather than being available for enhancing the wave growth. The new spectral dissipation function also accommodates the threshold wavebreaking behaviour discovered earlier. The dissipation term is parameterised and the new parameterisation is presented in a form suitable for spectral wave models.

description: Questo contributo è volto a provare la validità dell’ipotesi della differenza didattica (Rastelli, 2010) che si articola su due punti essenziali: a. un certo tipo di insegnamento può favorire lo sviluppo dell’interlingua; b. l’insegnante può contribuire a migliorare la capacità degli apprendenti di processare l’input e facilitare i processi naturali di acquisizione. In particolare, è stato condotto uno studio pilota che fa leva su un modello di intervento didattico differenziato e specifico per gli studenti cinesi e che muove da tre sostanziali ipotesi: i. il Focus on Form ha effetti positivi sull’acquisizione; ii. l’individuazione e l’esplicitazione della regola asseconda l’efficacia dei meccanismi naturali di acquisizione; iii. il feedback negativo sostiene maggiormente l’acquisizione in classe rispetto al feedback spontaneo.     An educational proposal for Chinese students: the “Focus on Form”   This paper aims to validate the hypothesis of the “Educational Difference” (Rastelli, 2010) that is articulated in two main points: a) a particular way of teaching can foster  interlanguage development; b) teachers can contribute to improving learners’ ability to process input and facilitate natural learning processes. In particular, we conducted a pilot study based on a model of differentiated and specific instructional intervention for Chinese students. The study was based on three fundamental assumptions: i) the “Focus on Form” has positive effects on acquisition; ii) identifying and explaining a rule supports the efficiency of natural acquisition mechanisms; iii) negative feedback supports more the acquisition in a classroom setting compared to spontaneous feedback.

description: Bee products have been used since ancient civilisations in foods, cosmetics and medicinal preparations for their biological and pharmacological properties, including antibacterial activities. Among these products, honey and bee propolis have been employed in pharmaceutical preparations. Propolis is a mixture of plant resins added with beeswax, whereas honey is derived from mixing plant nectars with bee salivary enzymes. Limited studies are available on the products of Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria, Meliponini). The aims of this PhD project were to characterise the chemical compositions of T. carbonaria honey and propolis and to link them to their antibacterial effects. Moreover, the propolis of honeybees (Apis mellifera, Apidae) produced in the same subtropical areas of eastern Australia was included as a comparison to the analyses of stingless bee propolis, and reported here for the first time.

They have connections to many areas including extremal set theory, design theory, and graph theory. We define and study several generalizations of covering arrays, and we develop a method which produces an infinite family of LYM inequalities for graph-intersecting collections. A common theme throughout is the dependence of these problems on graphs. Our main contribution is an extremal method yielding LYM inequalities for $H$-intersecting collections, for every undirected graph $H$. Briefly, an $H$-intersecting collection is a collection of packings (or partitions) of an $n$-set in which the classes of every two distinct packings in the collection intersect according to the edges of $H$. We define ``$F$-following" collections which, by definition, satisfy a LYM-like inequality that depends on the arcs of a ``follow" digraph $F$ and a permutation-counting technique. We fully characterize the correspondence between ``$F$-following" and ``$H$-intersecting" collections. This enables us to apply our inequalities to $H$-intersecting collections. For each graph $H$, the corresponding inequality inherently bounds the maximum number of columns in a covering array with alphabet graph $H$. We use this feature to derive bounds for covering arrays with the alphabet graphs $S_3$ (the star on three vertices) and $\kvloop{3}$ ($K_3$ with loops). The latter improves a known bound for classical covering arrays of strength two. We define covering arrays on column graphs and alphabet graphs which generalize covering arrays on graphs. The column graph encodes which pairs of columns must be $H$-intersecting, where $H$ is a given alphabet graph. Optimizing covering arrays on column graphs and alphabet graphs is equivalent to a graph-homomorphism problem to a suitable family of targets which generalize qualitative independence graphs. When $H$ is the two-vertex tournament, we give constructions and bounds for covering arrays on directed column graphs. FOR arrays are the broadest generalization of covering arrays that we consider. We define FOR arrays to encompass testing applications where constraints must be considered, leading to forbidden, optional, and required interactions of any strength. We model these testing problems using a hypergraph. We investigate the existence of FOR arrays, the compatibility of their required interactions, critical systems, and binary relational systems that model the problem using homomorphisms.

description: Trypsin is a serine protease that functions as a digestive enzyme. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds specifically on the carboxyl side of lysine or arginine. It has been found that genes encoding this enzyme have evolved in a form of a gene family. Studies on the trypsin gene families from different species can help us understand the mechanism and process of molecular evolution. Previous studies have shown that the trypsin gene family in two sibling species, D. melanogaster and D. erecta diverged about 10 million years ago, and that they have the same genomic organization and patterns of molecular evolution. My work is mainly focused on the trypsin gene family in D. virilis, which diverged within the Drosophila lineage about 60 million years ago. The purpose of this thesis is to study the molecular evolution of this gene family in a time scale within the Genus of Drosophila. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
L’AGGETTIVO E L’AVVERBIO IN ITALIANO E IN CINESE: ANALISI CONTRASTIVA E PROPOSTE GLOTTODIDATTICHE

description: Il presente lavoro fornisce un’analisi contrastiva tra italiano e cinese in merito alle categorie grammaticali dell’aggettivo e dell’avverbio, al fine di individuare, da un lato, gli ostacoli che un apprendente sinofono può incontrare nello studio della lingua italiana, ed elaborare, dall’altro, strategie che rendano più efficace l’intervento didattico. La prima parte del contributo illustra sinteticamente la morfosintassi della lingua cinese, che si caratterizza per un maggior rigore e un maggior grado di prevedibilità rispetto alla frase italiana. La seconda parte è dedicata rispettivamente all’aggettivo e all’avverbio; del primo si analizzano la funzione predicativa e attributiva; del secondo i criteri con cui le due lingue classificano questa parte del discorso nonché la sua posizione nella frase, unica  e fissa nel caso del cinese, flessibile nel caso dell’italiano. Il filo conduttore che guida il presente lavoro è la convinzione che nell’insegnamento della grammatica a sinofoni siano necessarie spiegazioni esplicite, anche di quei tratti che solitamente sono impliciti nel sillabo.     Adjectives and adverbs in Italian and Chinese: contrastive analysis and glottodidactic reflections   This article provides a contrastive analysis between Italian and Chinese adjectives and adverbs, in order to identify, on the one hand, the obstacles that Chinese speakers face when learning Italian, and, on the other hand, which strategies are the most appropriate for effective teaching. It initially takes into account the Chinese morphosyntax, which is more rigorous and predictable than it is in Italian. The second part is devoted to adjectives and adverbs. We analyze the attributive and the predicative function of adjectives, and the criteria by which the two languages classify adverbs and their position in sentences, unique and fixed in Chinese, but more flexible in Italian. The main thread of the article highlights the necessity for explicit grammar teaching, including those aspects which are usually implicit in textbooks.

title: An Exploration of Social Change in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Rural Agrarian Societies

description: A qualitative research project on the dynamics of social change in rural agrarian societies in the tropics and sub-tropics was conducted during the months of October and December of 1998 and January of this year. The research topic emerged, in part, from researcher's interest on issues related to community development in the third world, environmental issues in the tropics, and the promotion of social change for the benefit of marginalized peoples. The preliminary study of social change in the rural tropics was the result of five case studies with individuals living in the Pioneer Valley region of Western Massachusetts who either lived and/or worked with rural agrarian communities in the tropics and sub-tropics. Key to the researcher was the notion of seeking overarching issues affecting social change across various continents. The researcher was aware that many factors motivating change are neither voluntary nor beneficial to the community, therefore he was searching for both positive and/or negative impacts affecting community social change. Preliminary findings indicate there are parallel trends affecting social change in agrarian communities across the tropics and sub-tropics. The following document is an exploration into one of the themes that remained consistent over the course of the interviewing process, namely, how does change occur in poverty stricken agrarian regions of the world?

The assessment and perspectives of the special assembly for Africa of the synod of bishops.

description: On the opening day of the fourth session of the Second Vatican Council, September 14, 1965, Pope Paul VI announced to the council fathers that a synod of bishops would be established in the near future. On the following day, September 15, in the presence of Pope Paul VI, Cardinal P. Marella, presented to the fathers the motu proprio, Apostolica sollicitudo, establishing the synod of bishops on a permanent basis. According to the motu proprio, among the important reasons for the establishment of the synod of bishops was the pope's ministry as universal pastor. Thus, the synod of bishops would serve the pope by consolidating the unity and mutual help between himself and the bishops, and ensure that direct and accurate information is provided to the pope on vital issues. These ideas were later codified into law, which states that, in exercising his office, the Roman Pontiff is assisted in various ways, among these being the synod of bishops (c. 334). Since its creation, many assemblies of the synod of bishops have been realized, one of which was convoked especially for Africa, on February 6, 1989. In 1994 this assembly was concluded in Rome. Among the issues discussed during the Synod, some have canonical implications. For instance, the existence of small Christian communities alongside parishes; the formation of the principal agents of evangelization in Africa which involves local churches especially the episcopal conferences and the small Christian communities; the ecclesial identity and ministry of the catechist; marriage; and inculturation of liturgy. From the inquiry of the raison d'etre of the synod of bishops according to the Second Vatican Council and the 1983 Code of Canon Law, we have explored the extent to which the current legislation of the Church can be of assistance in the implementation of the above issues. Since Africa is a big continent with a wide range of peoples with different cultural, ethnic, and political backgrounds, we deliberately limited our discussions to general canonical elements that we consider important in the implementation of any one of the synodal conclusions. As a consultative organ available to the Roman Pontiff in the exercise of his Petrine office, the African Synod was a success. Also, the African Synod enabled the heads of the particular churches in Africa to work together for the first time, in that manner. However, like any human institutions, the synod of bishops, per se, can be improved. For this reason, we have made some suggestions to this effect.

PTSD and opioid use: implications for intervention and policy

description: Background: North America remains in the midst of an escalating opioid overdose epidemic, largely driven by the influx of synthetic opioids such a fentanyl and related analogues. High rates of mental illness among substance-using populations have been well documented; in particular, opioid-using individuals suffer from high rates of PTSD. Despite the devastating disease burden of both PTSD and OUD, especially within the context of the current opioid overdose epidemic, treatment options and outcomes remain suboptimal. Main body: Comorbid PTSD-OUD is often complex and inextricably intertwined, thereby impeding effective diagnosis, assessment and early intervention. Best outcomes occur when treatment addresses both comorbidities simultaneously, known as parallel or integrative approaches. Despite these findings, affected individuals often do not receive adequate or equitable access to healthcare. The WHO recommends that public spending for both mental and physical aspects of healthcare be equitable to the burden of disease. Despite these recommendations mental healthcare services remain chronically underfunded in Canada. The Mental Health Parity Act is a call for the Canadian government to implement equitable public spending on all aspects of healthcare. Furthermore, prohibitory legislative practices serve to marginalize substance-using populations thereby increasing the likelihood of exposure to traumatic violence and other associated harms. Conclusion: Efforts are now needed to address regulatory drug-use frameworks and public healthcare policies that perpetuate these inequalities. Alternative regulatory frameworks for drugs and mental health parity should be implemented and evaluated in an effort to reduce violence, trauma and ultimately opioid-related overdose deaths.
