description: The long-standing research in World Englishes (WE) and, more recently, in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) has greatly contributed to problematise several areas in connection to English language teaching, highlighting in particular the importance of teacher education as a fundamental step towards a plurilithic approach in ELT. Teacher education can indeed play a pivotal role in providing teachers with critical tools to understand the socio-linguistic and cultural changes brought about by the pluralization of English and its function as a Lingua Franca, fostering awareness of the pedagogical implications that these changes imply. This paper illustrates findings from a research study aimed at investigating trainee teachers' beliefs concerning WE- and ELF-informed ELT pedagogic practices. The study was carried out with prospective teachers of English attending pre-service TFA (Tirocinio Formativo Attivo) and PAS (Percorso Abilitante Speciale) teacher education courses at the University of Verona, where part of the English Language Module focused on WE, ELF and their pedagogical implications. By means of questionnaires, interviews, class reflections and materials developed by the trainees as part of the course, we investigated the participants’ familiarity with main issues in WE and ELF before attending the course, and to what extent the aforementioned Module contributed to expand and/or modify their awareness of these issues in pedagogical terms. The ways in which the participants changed their perception of the multifaceted reality of English today after attending the course, as well as how these (new) concepts can influence their teaching practices, will be discussed; findings show that participants appear willing to shift towards a more plurilithic and inclusive WE- and ELF-informed didactic approach in their classroom practices.

Select and protest based beaconless georouting with guaranteed delivery in wireless sensor networks
Creators: name: Kalosha, Hanna
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Recently proposed beaconless georouting algorithms are fully reactive, with nodes forwarding packets without prior knowledge of their neighbors. However, existing approaches for recovery from local minima can either not guarantee delivery or they require the exchange of complete neighborhood information. We describe two general methods which enable completely reactive face routing with guaranteed delivery. The Beaconless Forwarder Planarization (BFP) scheme finds correct edges of a local planar subgraph at the forwarder node without hearing from all neighbors. Face routing then continues properly. Angular Relaying determines directly the next hop of a face traversal. Both schemes are based on the Select and Protest principle. Neighbors respond according to a delay function, but only if there is no other neighbor within their forbidden region. Protest messages are used to correct occasionally wrong selections by neighbors that are not in the planar subgraph. We show that a correct beaconless planar subgraph construction is not possible without protests. We also show the impact of the chosen planar subgraph construction on the message complexity. This leads to the definition of the Circlunar Neighborhood Graph (CNG), a new proximity graph that enables BFP with a bounded number of messages in the worst case, which is not possible when using the Gabriel graph (GG). The CNG is sparser than the GG, but this does not lead to performance degradation. Simulation results show similar message complexities in the average case when using CNG and GG. Angular relaying uses a delay function that is based on the angular distance to the previous hop. We develop a theoretical framework for delay functions and show both theoretically and in simulations that with a function of angle and distance we can reduce the number of protests by a factor of 2 in comparison to a simple angle-based delay function.
The rural-urban equity nexus of Metro Manila’s water system
Creators: name: Torio, Philamer Carlos

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2020

description: This article examines equity concerns and inherent conflicts related to rural-urban water supply allocation and use, with focus on Metro Manila. Going beyond the much-discussed difficulty farmers experience from an allocation policy prioritizing urban water requirements, it shows that inequity in raw water allocation is linked to, and further exacerbated by, inequities in urban domestic water provision. Moreover, it highlights the need for broader equity reviews, using the concept of the rural-urban water equity nexus to draw attention to key equity considerations across space and scale that otherwise might remain invisible.
Future directions: creative writing as a life tool
Creators: name: Dunn, Wendy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Is creative writing a means for publication or a life tool? The book is dead (Wente, 2010) and so is the author (Holcombe, 2007). Christopher Evans argued, in his book The Micro Millennium, the electronic age would make books “begin a steady slide into oblivion” (cited in Mash, 2003). More than ten years before Evans’ book, Roland Barthes, literary critic and theorist, published his important essay “The Death of The Author” and critically elucidated how the author, shaped by history and society, does not exist independently of textual constructions. “It is language which speaks, not the author” (Barthes, 1968, p. 2). The connection between author, text and creative writing as not only a means of publication but also as a life tool will be the focus of this paper.

Notes on Catholic Immigrants and Parish Schools in the United States
Creators: name: Barcella, Paolo
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: The Catholic Church experienced its first phase of large expansion in the United States only in the second half of the Nineteenth Century. Until that moment, Catholic people had been excluded from the early American history events. At the turn of the twentieth century, migrations toward the United States spurred the expansion of Catholicism in the Country, and the Catholic Church developed in an Protestant environment. The necessity of having an institutional structure convinced its first bishop to choose the Trustees corporation system. As a result, the relationship between lay people and Catholic priests began to resemble those between laymen and priests of the other Christian denominations. Such an Americanised Church became the reference point for millions of Catholic immigrants, toward whom it had a dual role, of inclusion and distinction. It was mostly through parish schools that immigrants started to be instructed on US society, costumes, and language. The present paper shortly reconstructs this story.

Development of solifluction lobes, Kluane Range, Yukon Territory
Creators: name: Kinnard, Christophe
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Physical Geography.

description: Solifluction lobe process and morphology were studied on an alpine slope (1800 m a.s.l) above Kluane Lake, south-western Yukon Territory. Contemporary rates of surface movements, measured by theodolite survey, were found to be greatest in the first two weeks of spring thaw, and movements were consistently faster on lobe treads than on lobe risers. Precise monitoring of thaw-consolidation parameters on a lobe indicated that most thaw-settlement occurred when the soil was saturated to the surface. At the slope scale, surface rates increased downslope in response to gradients in soil moisture, while long-term rates of lobe advance, inferred from 14C dating of buried organic horizons, were found to be similar among 12 dated lobes. The internal stratigraphy and age distribution of these lobes together suggest periodic advance of the fronts. Observations of lobe stratigraphy with the age distribution of buried humus points towards a conceptual model of lobe development involving the slow accumulation of soliflucted material behind a rigid riser, the progressive steepening of the riser and build-up of stress, and finally the rupture of the front and its extensive collapse on to the slope. The period for this developmental cycle was estimated to be about 600 years. This internal cycle of lobe development constitutes a serious buffer to climatic influence and must be taken into account when using solifluction lobes as paleoclimate sources.

Modeling agricultural best management practices in the South Nation watershed
Creators: name: Parker, Geoff
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.
subject: Environmental Sciences.

description: The South Nation watershed consists of an area of roughly 3900 km2 in Eastern Ontario which drains into the South Nation River. The South Nation River in turn drains into the Ottawa River at the watershed outlet. The work presented here included the use of the continuous-simulation Annualized Agricultural Non Point Source (AnnAGNPS) 5.0 dynamic pollutant loading model, which was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In-stream water chemistry was also an important element of a meaningful analysis. The dynamic water-quality model CE-QUAL-RIV1 was selected due to its riverine nature, which is closely linked with the AnnAGNPS concept of a channel network. Utilities were developed to enhance the input and output capabilities of both codes. The linked models were then calibrated to the available data, and a case matrix focused on predicting feasibility of best management practices (BMPs) within the context of climate change was constructed and simulated. The calibration process was done manually at first, based on the results of a sensitivity analysis conducted on the AnnAGNPS package as part of the work. Subsequently, the use of an automatic genetic-algorithm based approach (also developed as part of this work) was explored, which yielded an improvement in the calibrated model and was therefore used as a base case of the model. The case matrix examined 4 individual BMPs, along with 4 combined BMP scenarios. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Towards a motivational model of flow.
Creators: name: Kowal, John.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationship between motivation and flow. As a conceptual framework for investigating motivation, Vallerand's (1997) Hierarchical Model of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation (HMIEM) which is based predominantly on Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 1991) was used. The work of Csikszentmihalyi (1975a, 1991) served as a theoretical basis for examining the flow state. Canadian master's level swimmers completed questionnaires on two separate occasions, Time 1 $(n = 203)$ and Time 2 $(n = 104).$ At Time 1, situational measures of distal motivational determinants (perceptions of success and perceptions of the motivational climate), proximal motivational determinants (perceptions of autonomy, perceptions of competence, and perceptions of relatedness), self-determined motivation, and flow were assessed immediately following a swim practice. Contextual measures of these same variables were assessed at Time 2 (one week later) with the exception of flow. Two sets of analyses were then conducted in order to examine the links between these motivational concepts and flow. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
title: Show and Tell: The Biases of Plutarch and Euripides
Creators: name: Tyler, Annalee
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1998

description: It can be said that there is no such thing as an unbiased viewpoint. For a newspaper columnist, a politician, or a radio talk-show host, this is good news. But for the historian, it proves to be somewhat problematic. Is it possible to gain an accurate view of the facts if there is, essentially, no such thing? Most history is written by the victors, the conquerors who wish to glorify themselves and their cause. Where is the record for the lower classes, women, and children? Even those who purport to be impartial have views that are colored by their backgrounds, the experiences and culture that have shaped their outlooks and created their character. The answer to the problem, then, is to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. The dedicated historian must examine these biases and use them to better understand the culture and person from which these biases come. In order to do so, it is useful to compare two opinions from different time periods. Common myths in the ancient world were treated by diverse authors over and over again, and so they provide a standard by which to compare two presentations. Theseus, the founder of Athens, was the subject, of both a biography by Plutarch and a play by Euripides, among numerous other ancient texts. An examination of Theseus and Hippolytus reveals much about the biographer and playwright in terms of the political, social, and intellectual condition of their respective times. This paper will examine the differences between the two genres and the way they reflect the differences between the writers.
L'ékphrasis modernista di William Carlos Williams: modalità di rappresentazione intersemiotica e transculturale
Creators: name: Razzi, Francesca
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: The present paper focuses on the intersemiotic and transcultural relation between text and image in Pictures from Brueghel by William Carlos Williams. The analysis of Williams’s way of translating (Jakobson 1959) and interpreting Brueghel’s paintings will be carried out through a comparative approach – dealing with both internal, or formal, textual elements (Wellek‒Warren 1949), and external, or contextual, issues (Greenblatt 1989; Montrose 1989; Bourdieu 2005) also connected to a transcultural critical standpoint (Dimock 2001; Pease 2011). Consequently, previous aesthetic and semiotic readings of Williams’s work (Scott 1999) will be extended by considering the strategies through which American modernist culture interprets Flemish Renaissance art. Different poems in Pictures from Brueghel – for instance, ‘Landscape with the Fall of Icarus’, ‘The Hunters in the Snow’, and ‘Peasant Wedding’ – are representative of the complex interconnections between the artistic/visual element and the literary/verbal system characterizing Williams’s collection, whose place into the whole literary production of the American poet will be also taken into account.

description: Les buts de l'etude sont de proposer une demarche conceptuelle appropriee a la mesure du niveau de discipline en classe et de verifier les qualites metrologiques d'un unstrument d'observation des comportements deviants en classe d'education physique. Le terme "comportement deviant" designe une transgression a une regle en classe. L'instrument elabore par Kennedy (1980) utilise l'observation directe des comportments deviants suivis d'une reaction de l'enseignant et fait l'objet de la presente etude. Dans un premier temps, l'instrument est traduit et adapte en francais et dans un deuxieme temps est soumis a des analyses de fidelite et de validite. Apres une periode d'entrai nement intensive aupres des deux codeurs, 20 groupes-classes ont participe a l'etude. L'analyse des resultats demontre une bonne fidelite de l'instrument en ce qui concerne les 22 categories de comportements, les cinq sous-categories et le total pour la seance. Cependant, la fidelite calculee avec le pourcentage d'accord est faible si on tient compte des erreurs sur le nombre d'eleves impliques. L'indice de validite concourante (0,86) calcule entre la frequence de comportements deviants et une evaluation par l'enseignant par seance s'avere tres bon. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Supervised consumption services (SCS) are being implemented across Canada in response to a variety of drug-related harms. We explored the implementation context of newly established SCS in Toronto and the role of policing in shaping program access by people who inject drugs (PWID). Methods: We conducted one-to-one qualitative semi-structured interviews with 24 PWID. Participants were purposively recruited. Ethnographic observations were conducted at each of the study sites as well as in their respective neighbourhoods. Relevant policy documents were also reviewed. Results: Policing was overwhelmingly discussed by participants from both SCS sites. However, participant responses varied depending on the site in question. Subthemes from participant responses on policing at site #1 described neighbourhood police presence and fears of police harassment and drug arrests before, during, or after accessing SCS. Conversely, subthemes from participant responses on policing at site #2 described immunity and protection from police while using the SCS, as well as a lack of police presence or fears of police harassment and arrests. These differences in implementation contexts were largely shaped by differences in local neighbourhoods and drug scenes. Police policies highlighted federal laws protecting PWID within SCS, but also the exercise of discretion when applying the rule of law outside of these settings. Conclusions: Participants’ perspectives on, and experiences with, policing as they relate to accessing SCS were shaped by the implementation contexts of each SCS site and how neighbourhoods, drug scenes, and differences in policing practices affected service use. Our findings also demonstrate the disconnect between the goals of policing and those of SCS. Until larger structural barriers are addressed (e.g. criminalization), future SCS programming should consider the impact of policing on the SCS implementation context to improve client experience with, and access to, SCS.
Impairment in autobiographical memory in women with post-traumatic stress disorder: a comparative analysis of autobiographical specificity, central executive functioning and self-concept clarity
Creators: name: Bell, Loretta
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The primary focus of this research was to investigate autobiographical memory (AM) recall styles associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to examine mechanisms theoretically associated with reduced specificity of recall in PTSD in women, particularly central executive functioning (a component of working memory) and self-concept clarity. The CaFRAX model (Capture, Functional Avoidance & Executive Processes; Williams, 2006) and the Cognitive Motivational Model (CMM; Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000) of Autobiographical Memory (AM), suggest that intentional retrieval of specific memories can be impaired by reduced central executive functioning, functional avoidance of negative affect, and by abstract selfcognitions. These processes can cause premature truncation of a top-down memory search and result in recall errors at different levels of abstraction AMs (Categoric & Extended). Although reduced AM specificity is theoretically linked to traumatic experiences, there are inconclusive findings regarding the role of trauma in its development. There are relatively few studies of people diagnosed with PTSD, so the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon in PTSD are poorly articulated as yet. This thesis examined the hypotheses that two types of memory impairment would be apparent in women with PTSD [PTSD group; n = 19, Age = 47.26, SD = 10.81] compared to trauma-exposed women without PTSD [Trauma group; n = 17, Age = 49.94, SD = 12.53] and women never exposed to trauma [Control group; n = 21, Age = 44.29, SD = 16.93] and that the level of AM specificity achieved would by related to working memory. Autobiographical memory recall was examined using the Autobiographical Memory Test and declarative memory measured by performance on the California Verbal Learning Test–Version Two (CVLT-II). The structural cohesion of the self in PTSD was investigated using the Self-concept Clarity (SCC) scale, to establish whether the organisation of self-aspects are disorganised in women suffering PTSD as inferred by self-schemas theories of PTSD (e.g., Janoff-Bulman, 1992; McCann & Pearlman, 1990). Declarative memory and SCC variables were then utilised to examine the mechanisms underlying reduced AM specificity after exposure to traumatic events.

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive upper and lower motor neuron (LMN) loss. As ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases share genetic risk factors, we performed whole-exome sequencing in ALS patients focusing our analysis on genes implicated in neurodegeneration. Thus, variants in the DHTKD1 gene encoding dehydrogenase E1 and transketolase domain containing 1 previously linked to 2-aminoadipic and 2-oxoadipic aciduria, Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease type 2, and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) were identified. In two independent European ALS cohorts (n = 643 cases), 10 sporadic cases of 225 (4.4%) predominantly sporadic patients of cohort 1, and 12 familial ALS patients of 418 (2.9%) ALS families of cohort 2 harbored 14 different rare heterozygous DHTKD1 variants predicted to be deleterious. Four DHTKD1 variants were previously described pathogenic variants, seven were recurrent, and eight were located in the E1_dh dehydrogenase domain. Nonsense variants located in the E1_dh domain were significantly more prevalent in ALS patients versus controls. The phenotype of ALS patients carrying DHTKD1 variants partially overlapped with CMT and SMA by presence of sensory impairment and a higher frequency of LMN-predominant cases. Our results argue towards rare heterozygous DHTKD1 variants as potential contributors to ALS phenotype and, possibly, pathogenesis.

description: 'Philanthropy' is usually a word we associate with the world of adults and rich people. Increasingly though, children from a spread of socio-economic backgrounds are participating in and learning about what it means to be philanthropic, both at home and at school. As well as helping those in need, the evidence shows getting children involved in philanthropy has positive effects for the children, their families and society more generally. It might just be the key to helping your children be happier, smarter and more successful.

Redesigning is necessary, because current and potential users are not satisfied with the usability of the retrieval application and the search result presentation. The substance search is partially so complex that trainings courses and detailed instruction manuals are inquired. In order to achieve a tailor-made solution for current and potential key users as well as for user that have or have not been used the GSBLs retrieval application before, a promising redesigning process is introduced and established usability techniques are utilized.

VLSI architecture for Discrete Wavelet Transform.
Creators: name: Grzeszczak, Aleksander.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: In this thesis, we present a new simple and efficient VLSI architecture (DWT-SA) for computing the Discrete Wavelet Transform. The proposed architecture is systolic in nature, modular and extendible to 1-D or 2-D DWT transform of any size. The DWT-SA has been designed, simulated and implemented in silicon. The following are the features of the DWT-SA architecture: (1) It has an efficient (close to 100%) hardware utilization. (2) It works with data streams of arbitrary size. (3) The design is cascadable, for computation of one, two or three dimensional DWT. (4) It requires a minimum interface circuitry on the chip for purposes of interconnecting to a standard communication bus. The DWT-SA design has been implemented using CMOS 1.2 um technology.

description: With the advent of the Internet, co-operating enterprises are increasingly sharing consumer data to deliver them information-rich online experiences with value-added services. At the same time, technological advances in web services standards based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design have enabled heterogeneous Business-to-Business (B2B) integration between enterprises. End-to-End business processes that span across multiple enterprises can be developed using the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). However, such processes must address issues that normally do not arise for processes within a single enterprise. A framework is needed which supports a SOA-enabled business process management approach but also has technical infrastructure to address issues related to identity, privacy, compliance, monitoring and people interaction. In our thesis, we accomplish this using a framework that supports the design, implementation and management of trusted B2B processes defined using the BPEL standard and deployed into Circle of Trust architecture as specified by the Liberty Alliance federated identity standards. A key contribution of our thesis was to extend the Circle of Trust architecture with a new entity that introduces components to help businesses manage their B2B processes. Two use-case scenarios involving information-rich B2B processes were implemented to evaluate our framework.
Innovation of traditional series of combination process for alumina production
Creators: name: Liao, Xinqin
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: When the Bayer process is applied to the middle/low grade bauxite with A/S <5, the production flow is simple and energy consumption is low, but the yield rate and resource availability are low as well. However if a series of combination process is used a high yield rate can be high, but the energy consumption is also high and Bayer process system is affected. In this paper an innovative series combination process to minimize the energy consumption, and to reduce the negative effects caused to Bayer process system is proposed for optimal production of alumina from middle/low grade bauxite with SiO2 mainly existing in the form of kaolinite.

Tuberculosis surveillance in Cape Town, South Africa: Evaluation and development of a trial protocol
Creators: name: Heidebrecht, Christine L
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.
subject: Health Sciences, Epidemiology.

description: The need to consistently evaluate surveillance systems is vital; without periodic evaluation, decisions informed by surveillance information may be based on incomplete or erroneous data. This evaluation of Cape Town's tuberculosis surveillance system was based on the CDC's Updated Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems, modified to reflect the specific context of a high burden of tuberculosis in a Middle-Income country, and emphasizing the importance of public health action that is informed by surveillance data. Findings indicate that: limitations regarding tuberculosis-human immunodeficiency virus as well as drug resistance data exist; increased availability and integration of electronic data would enhance the assessment of control efforts; and that system operations could be improved by increasing software flexibility. The development of a protocol for a trial of system changes builds upon the findings of the evaluation, and applies a logic model and an ecological health model to inform the trial design.

description: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematological disorder mainly affecting people of older age. AML initiation is primarily attributed to mutations in crucial cellular regulators such as epigenetic factors, transcription factors, and signaling genes. AML’s aggressiveness and responsiveness to treatment depends on the specific cell type where leukemia first arose. Aged hematopoietic cells are often genetically and/or epigenetically altered and, therefore, present with a completely different cellular context for AML development compared to young cells. In this review, we summarize key aspects of AML development, and we focus, in particular, on the contribution of cellular aging to leukemogenesis and on current treatment options for elderly AML patients. Hematological disorders and leukemia grow exponentially with age. So far, with conventional induction therapy, many elderly patients experience a very poor overall survival rate requiring substantial social and medical costs during the relatively few remaining months of life. The global population’s age is increasing rapidly without an acceptable equal growth in therapeutic management of AML in the elderly; this is in sharp contrast to the increase in successful therapies for leukemia in younger patients. Therefore, a focus on the understanding of the biology of aging in the hematopoietic system, the development of appropriate research models, and new therapeutic approaches are urged.

description: Background: Management of Ebola virus disease (EVD) has historically focused on infection prevention, case detection and supportive care. Several specific anti-Ebola therapies have been investigated, including during the 2014–2016 West African outbreak. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of the effect of anti-Ebola virus therapies on clinical outcomes to guide their potential use and future evaluation. Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Global Health, Cochrane Library, African Index Medicus, WHOLIS (inception-9 April 2018), and trial registries for observational studies or clinical trials, in any language, that enrolled patients with confirmed EVD who received therapy targeting Ebola virus and reported on mortality, symptom duration, or adverse effects. Results: From 11,257 citations and registered trials, we reviewed 55 full-text citations, of which 35 met eligibility criteria (1 randomized clinical trial (RCT), 8 non-randomized comparative studies, 9 case series and 17 case reports) and collectively examined 21 anti-Ebola virus agents. The 31 studies performed during the West African outbreak reported on 4.8% (1377/28616) of all patients with Ebola. The only RCT enrolled 72 patients (0.25% of all patients with Ebola) and compared the monoclonal antibody ZMapp vs. standard care (mortality, 22% vs. 37%; 95% confidence interval for risk difference, − 36 to 7%). Studies of convalescent plasma, interferon-β-1a, favipiravir, brincidofovir, artesunate-amodiaquine and TKM-130803 were associated with at least moderate risk of bias. Conclusions: Research evaluating anti-Ebola virus agents has reached very few patients with EVD, and inferences are limited by non-randomized study designs. ZMapp has the most promising treatment signal.
