Making do with less : the housing experiences of single mothers in Kelowna's rental housing market
Creators: name: Jones, Amanda Gloria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Housing is important to the overall health and well-being of all families and individuals. With an expensive housing market and a growing population, access to housing is an important issue. Relatively little research has been conducted on the housing experiences of single mothers in Canada’s rental housing markets, and none in the case of mid-sized cities like Kelowna. The purpose of this study is to examine the rental housing experiences of single mothers in the City of Kelowna. More specifically, it focuses on the barriers and challenges faced by single mothers during their search for rental housing in the city, as well as the strategies they employ in order to deal with these challenges. This paper also makes recommendations for improving the rental housing experiences of single mothers in the future. The data for this study were collected through a survey of 30 single mother renters living in the City of Kelowna between May and September of 2012. Additional information for this study was drawn from semi-structured interviews with 11 key informants who included housing service providers, city planners, and city officials. The results from this study indicate that single mothers face many barriers and challenges in Kelowna’s rental housing market, including affordability and size adequacy in particular. Single mothers also felt that they had been discriminated against by landlords and building managers during the housing search process. Strategies used to cope with rental housing barriers and challenges included: spending less on other household essentials, borrowing money, living with friends or family members, and working more than one job or overtime. Results from this study indicate that more needs to be done to increase Kelowna’s supply of affordable rental housing, including subsidized units; and that more needs to be done to address the social and economic factors that lead to housing affordability burden in the first place, specifically the gap between wages and the cost of living. This exploratory study adds to the existing literature by highlighting the importance of understanding the rental housing experiences of households led by single mothers in the mid-sized city of Kelowna, BC.

description: New superintegrable systems are presented which, like the Hydrogen atom, possess a dynamical symmetry w.r.t. algebra o(4). One of them simulates a neutral fermion with non-trivial dipole moment, interacting with the external e.m. field. This system is presented in both non-relativistic and relativistic formulations. Another recently discovered system (see arXiv:1208.2886v1) is non-relativistic and includes the minimal and spin-orbit interaction with the external electric field. It is shown that all the considered systems are shape invariant. Applying this quality, these systems are integrated using the tools of SUSY quantum mechanics.

description: This thesis aims to re-evaluate the abandonment of vacant lots and develop an architectural typology used to address the issue of lot vacancy in specific areas of the city. Through examining the history of the Sandtown-Windchester neighborhood in Baltimore, a multi layered intervention will be developed to address the issue of homelessness and lot abandonment specific to this neighborhood. This intervention will then be adapted to address lot vacancy that exists in cities across the country. This intervention and research will serve as a catalyst to spark further discussion about the societal implications of the mishandling of vacant lots, and ways to adapt them to serve the communities in which they exist in order to inspire a positive societal impact.
MOS Transistor Modeling for RF IC Design

Subjects: ING-INF/01 Elettronica

description: The design of radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs) in deep-submicron CMOS processes requires accurate and scalable compact models of the MOS transistor that are valid in the GHz frequency range and beyond. Unfortunately, the currently available compact models give inaccurate results if they are not modified adequately. This paper presents the basis of the modeling of the MOS transistor for circuit simulation at RF. A physical and scalable equivalent circuit that can easily be implemented as a Spice subcircuit is described. The small-signal and noise models are discussed and mea-surements made on a 0.25µm CMOS process are presented that validate the RF MOST model up to 10GHz.

description: Viscoelastic behavior is frequently observed in dynamical flexible multibody systems. In the simplest form it is manifested in one dimensional revolute and prismatic joints. Beyond which more complex force elements such as six degree of freedom flexible joints can also be found. Finally, beams, plates and shells are found to exhibit viscoelastic behavior too. In the past extensive work has been done on analyzing the dynamic response of three dimensional beams by performing cross-sectional analysis through finite element methods and subsequently solving the reduced beam problem. The approach is particularly relevant for the analysis of complex cross sections and helps improve computational efficiency significantly. A formulation which incorporates a viscoelastic model of the generalized Maxwell type with a solution of the three dimensional beam theory which gives an exact solution of static three dimensional elasticity problems is presented. Multiple examples incorporating the use of the aforementioned model in the context of viscoelastic beams and joints are presented. Shortcomings of the Kelvin-Voigt model, which is often used for flexible multibody systems, are underlined.

description: The evolution of the mobile telephony is demanding new multi-function terminals (cellular and cordless phones, GPS, pagers) compatible with a variety of standard (GSM, DCS, DECT, CDMA). At the same time the reduction of cost, size and power dissipation is mandatory. All this requires an higher integration level for the RF part, that is presently using a big number of components. This explains the big research effort put in silicon RF circuits particularly in CMOS technology. In this paper the state of the art of CMOS RF circuits is outlined. In particular some results regarding critical building blocks obtained by the STMicroelectronics and Pavia University research team are given. Future evelopments and the progress needed to successfully implement them are also pointed out.

description: Ruminants may swallow air as they eat and ruminate throughout the day. However, it is unclear as to how the introduction of oxygen impacts fermentation pathways, bacteria, and yeast within this mostly anaerobic environment. Therefore, the focus of this thesis was to study air’s impact on rumen fermentation and to determine if probiotics could offset air’s impact on digestibility. An in vitro analysis of air and probiotics indicated the main effect of air decreased digestibility, the main effect of probiotics had variable effects, and probiotics had significant interactions with air. The interactions suggested yeast employing a potential alternative pathway with the introduction of oxygen. Utilizing published literature, a static and dynamic mathematical model was built to further analyze digestibility, gas composition, and uptake of oxygen within the rumen. Future studies will further develop this model with in vivo studies to further interpretation and understanding of rumen fermentation’s complex system.

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether different types of vestibular system stimulation through balance training can have beneficial effects on vestibular-dependent path integration and balance abilities as well as on neuroplasticity in corresponding gray matter regions, especially in the hippocampal formation. For this reason, three separate studies were organized: 1) 3-month longitudinal slacklining training study with young subjects (18-35 years), b) cross-sectional study on professional ballet dancers (18-35 years) and c) 18-month longitudinal sportive dancing study with older subjects (60-85 years). The results showed significant improvements in vestibular-dependent path integration and balance abilities, along with the changes in gray matter in the hippocampal formation (hippocampus, parahipocampus) and other cortical regions in groups where a voxel-based morphometric (VBM) analysis was performed (ballet dancers and sportive dancers). These results show that strong stimulation of the vestibular system by behavioral interventions can lead to structural (neuroanatomical) and functional benefits. Possible implications of the findings are in the prevention of dementia and in the fall prevention.

description: In Cowell et al. (2007), a Bayesian network for analysis of mixed traces of DNA was presented using gamma distributions for modelling peak sizes in the electropherogram. It was demonstrated that the analysis was sensitive to the choice of a variance factor and hence this should be adapted to any new trace analysed. In the present paper we discuss how the variance parameter can be estimated by maximum likelihood to achieve this. The unknown proportions of DNA from each contributor can similarly be estimated by maximum likelihood jointly with the variance parameter. Furthermore we discuss how to incorporate prior knowledge about the parameters in a Bayesian analysis. The proposed estimation methods are illustrated through a few examples of applications for calculating evidential value in casework and for mixture deconvolution.

description: An empirical distributed model, based on electromagnetic analysis and standard S-parameter measurements up to microwave frequencies, is shown to be capable of accurate small-signal predictions up to the millimeter-wave range. The frequency-extrapolation approach takes advantage from a physically-expected, smooth behavior of suitably defined elementary active devices connected to a passive distributed network. On this basis, small-signal millimeter-wave FET modeling becomes an affordable task in any laboratory equipped with a standard microwave vector network analyzer and electromagnetic simulation capabilities. In the paper, wide experimental validation of the proposed model up to 110GHz is presented for PHEMT devices with different sizes and bias conditions.

description: In una pagina del 1946 Carlo Dionisotti riconosce in Benedetto Croce il più forte lettore di testi della letteratura italiana dal De Sanctis in poi, e scrive: Nel Croce la contemplazione delle cime suppone la conquista lenta delle pendenze ombrose, un itinerario che muove dal fondo delle valli e richiede un orientamento sicuro, una conoscenza del passato; insomma una implicita filologia. Se quella del Croce poteva essere implicita, quella posta a fondamento dell’impegno di ricerca di due fra i periodici fondativi del tema filologico in cronologia novecentesca sarà filologia esplicita.  Non a caso, nella chiusa dello scritto citato, ancora Dionisotti vede e prevede «quale sia oggi e presumibilmente nel prossimo avvenire l’indirizzo degli studi sulla letteratura italiana in Italia» nei “filologi schietti” Contini e Billanovich, proprio le due figure che meglio incarnano orientamenti e visione culturale degli «Studi di filologia italiana» e di «Italia medioevale e umanistica». L'articolo ripercorre fondazione ed evoluzione delle due riviste più significative delle diverse modalità di "fare filologia" in Italia nel Novecento.

description: This thesis will explore solutions to the affordable housing crisis in West Baltimore by providing affordable housing options for low income residents. By investigating the history of housing discrimination and neighborhood inequity, this thesis seeks to understand the reasoning behind the abundance of vacant homes that are dispersed throughout the city. These disinvested neighborhoods will be shaped by affordable and sustainable architecture. Ultimately, this thesis strives to reignite Baltimore’s vibrant culture and provide stable homes for the communities that have been disproportionately affected and ignored by the City.
Estimating the redshift of PKS 0447-439 through its GeV-TeV emission

description: Context. Blazars are radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a jet pointing at small angles towards the observer. The overall emitted spectrum is typically non-thermal, and in some cases the emission and/or absorption lines are so faint as to prevent the determination of the redshift based on optical spectroscopy methods. PKS 0447-439 is a bright blazar recently detected at very high energy. The redshift of the source is still disputed: a recent spectral analysis reports only a lower limit of z > 1.246, which contradicts the previous measure of z = 0.205 reported in the literature. Aims. We aim to give a redshift estimate of the blazar PKS 0447-439 based on combined GeV (Fermi/LAT) and TeV (H.E.S.S.) observations. Methods. Taking into account the absorption of TeV photons by the interaction with the extragalactic background light (EBL), we applied the method we developed in a previous work to derive the redshift of PKS 0447-439. Moreover, we compiled the overall spectral energy distribution (SED) using optical-UV, soft X-ray, and -ray data, nearly simultaneous to the H.E.S.S. observations at TeV energies. Finally we modelled the spectral energy distribution (SED) within the framework of a homogeneous, leptonic synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model. Results. Using the recent TeV spectrum measured by H.E.S.S. we obtain for PKS 0447-439 a redshift of zrec = 0.20 \pm 0.05, which is our estimate on the source distance. This value agrees very well with the value reported in the literature and confirms that our method can be successfully used to constrain blazars distances. Assuming this distance, the SED can be well fitted with the above mentioned model. The physical parameters that we find suggest a strongly matter-dominated jet. Conclusions. Our analysis confirms that the redshift of PKS 0447-439 is likely 0.2, and supports the result present in the literature.

description: Die kritische Beinischämie kennzeichnet das klinische Endstadium der peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit(pAVK). In diesem Stadium ist die Durchblutungsstörung des Fußes dekompensiert. Wenn keine Revaskularisationsmaßnahme zur Verbesserung der Perfusion vorgenommen wird, droht zeitnah die Amputation. Bei Patienten mit Diabetes mellitus erhöht sich das Risiko an einer pAVK zu leiden um das 1,5-bis 4-fache. Die pAVK bzw. die kritischen Beinischämie ist für die Entstehung und Progression des ischämischen diabetischen Fußsyndroms verantwortlich. Für die Therapie der kritischen Beinischämie bei multimorbiden Langzeitdiabetikern wird die perkutane transluminale Angioplastie (PTA) aufgrund der minimalen Invasivität favorisiert, dabei handelt es sich in 70 % der Fälle um die PTA der infrapoplitealen arteriellen Strombahn. Die infrapopliteale PTA hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren durch ständige neue technische Entwicklungen in der Therapie der pAVK mit zufriedenstellenden Ergebnissen und geringer Komplikationsrate etabliert. Jedoch ist die Wertigkeit der infrapoplitealen PTA in der Therapie der kritischen Beinischämie bei diabetischem Fußsyndrom unzureichend evaluiert. Im Rahmen dieser prospektiven Studie wurden über einen Zeitraum von 2 Jahren 28 Langzeitdiabetiker mit ischämischem DFS zur Durchführung von infrapoplitealen PTAs rekrutiert. Primäre Endpunkte waren die Amputationshöhe und Zeitpunkt der Amputation. Neben den patientenbezogenen Basisdaten werden der lokale Befund des Fußes, die Laborparameter sowie die angiographischen und hämodynamischen Parameter (ABI und TcpO2) präinterventionell und in der 12-monatigen postinterventionellen Beobachtungszeit erfasst. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die infrapopliteale PTA als eine effektive Therapiemaßnahme für eine kritische Beinischämie bei Diabetikern bewiesen. Für den postinterventionellen klinischen Verlauf sind eine offene sprunggelenküberschreitende Tibialarterie und ein TcpO2-Wert über 33mmHg von prognostisch positiver Bedeutung.

description: Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is one of the most widely used Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods to bring products to life. This thesis examines the incorporation of liquid additives into the nozzle region of an FDM system and attempts to understand their behavior in the polymer melt flow. The current computational work provides a background for a novel method wherein liquid additives can be injected into the melted polymer. A converging nozzle providing a near constant extension rate along the center-line is modelled. The deformation of droplets inside a polymer undergoing a purely extensional flow is studied for a range of exit (V) to platen velocities (U) and viscosity ratios (λ). It is observed that the behavior of droplets for a λ = 1 is found to be drastically different from that of lower λ's, which is attributed to the balance of shear stresses at the interface of the inner and outer flow fields. Finally, the morphology of the deposited plastic strands is also predicted. It is seen that as the velocity ratio (V/U) is increased the cross-section of the deposited strand changes from being almost spherical to an oblong.

description: La fonte dell’Arca di Noè, opera completata da Benjamin Britten nel 1957, va ricercata nella tradizione tardo-medievale dei Miracle Plays di Chester, ovvero in quelle rappresentazioni popolari in volgare su soggetti biblici e agiografici che le varie corporazioni di arti e mestieri di quella e di altre città inglesi allestivano su carri trascinati in giro per le contrade. Non diversamente da quanto avveniva negli altri paesi del continente europeo, tale forma teatrale, che ebbe diverse denominazioni, era eseguita sia a scopo ricreativo dei fedeli, sia a scopo didattico come strumento adatto a insegnare la Bibbia ad una popolazione per la maggior parte analfabeta. 
Nel costruire un’opera per i ragazzi sul testo di una Sacra rappresentazione, Britten fece tesoro dell’esperienza maturata nel campo del teatro per e con i bambini, riproducendo su una scala più ampia la formula del Piccolo spazzacamino (The Little Sweep). Questo tipo di teatro era considerato da Britten il più idoneo a coniugare gli scopi pratico-musicali ed educativi finalizzati alla comprensione del linguaggio musicale, con l’urgenza didattica di avvicinare alla musica, ed in particolare all’opera, i ragazzi in età scolare attraverso prodotti di qualità allo scopo di affinare il loro senso artistico ed estetico.
La composizione, che non presenta uno sviluppo drammaturgico vero e proprio ma si snoda secondo una successione di quadri scenici, prevede la presenza di un coro di ragazzi e di un attore. La compagine orchestrale, costituita da strumenti a fiato, a tastiera, ad arco e a percussione, venne accuratamente suddivisa da Britten in ordine decrescente di difficoltà per consentire agli stessi ragazzi l’esecuzione dei brani musicali.
Tale caratteristica pone l’Arca di Noè tra le composizioni realizzabili nella scuola media ad indirizzo musicale dove la pratica della musica d’insieme è uno degli strumenti metodologici privilegiati dell’apprendimento strumentale. L’opera da una parte solleva numerose questioni sulla relazione tra comprensione ed esecuzione musicale, dall’altra presenta argomenti che attivano relazioni con altri apprendimenti del curricolo in una prospettiva multidisciplinare.

description: Ir$_{1-x}$Pt$_x$Te$_2$ is an interesting system showing competing phenomenon between structural instability and superconductivity. Due to the large atomic numbers of Ir and Te, the spin-orbital coupling is expected to be strong in the system which may lead to nonconventional superconductivity. We grew single crystal samples of this system and investigated their electronic properties. In particular, we performed optical spectroscopic measurements, in combination with density function calculations, on the undoped compound IrTe$_2$ in an effort to elucidate the origin of the structural phase transition at 280 K. The measurement revealed a dramatic reconstruction of band structure and a significant reduction of conducting carriers below the phase transition. We elaborate that the transition is not driven by the density wave type instability but caused by the crystal field effect which further splits/separates the energy levels of Te (p$_x$, p$_y$) and Te p$_z$ bands.

We show here that boundary-localized kinetic terms, in general, do not preserve this symmetry. We examine the single production of a Kaluza-Klein excitation of the photon and its decay to zero-mode fermion-antifermion pairs in the presence of such terms. We explore how experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN can help constrain the boundary-localized kinetic terms for different choices of the compactification radius.

description: Tick-borne disease transmission has been steadily increasing in the United States. This is a major concern in suburban and urban areas, where wildlife and humans frequently share space. White-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) are studied for their role as a host for ticks and a reservoir tick-borne disease. New advances in the ability to track mice give much-needed insight into their space use and the use and efficiency of baited tick treatments. The major objectives of this thesis were to: 1) document suburban mouse collaring, tracking, and comparisons of three available triangulation programs and 2) calculate basic population demographics, home ranges, movement patterns, and land use of mice in three parks in Howard County, Maryland. The applied goal of this research was to aid in the future management of mice and tick-borne diseases as it pertains to the best placement for baited treatment.

description: It is demonstrated that the near-horizon geometry of general non-extremal black holes can be described by a portion of AdS space. We show that the reason why hidden conformal symmetries near horizons of general non-extremal black holes are achieved in previous works is that the near-horizon geometries have been equivalently taken as these AdS segments rather than simply the Rindler space.

Otro objetivo, más teórico y más implícito, es desplegar a lo largo del camino de la lectura de los casos etnográficos, una visión processual y dinamista de la escritura etnográfica y de la especulación antropológica, procedente de una manera precisa de hacer trabajo de campo. Los artículos aquí propuestos presentan, mediante varios estilos y diferentes acercamientos, una realidad sociocultural en movimiento, en constante cambio. Construyendo cuadros de varios aspectos sociales, políticos y culturales de la provincia de Huari, los autores delinean un escenario en proceso en el cual diferentes actores, ámbitos y dinámicas socioculturales se interrelacionan, participando de maneras diferents en la transformación.

description: We study the classical and quantum Euclidean wormholes for an empty (4+1) dimensional Kaluza-Klein universe with a positive cosmological constant and a spatially flat Robertson-Walker type metric. It is shown that classical wormholes do not exist neither for the spacetime sector nor the extra dimensional sector of this model, but two spectrums of quantum wormholes as the solutions of Wheeler-DeWitt equation exist which are consistent with the Hawking-Page conjecture about the necessary boundary conditions. In the spectrum where the external scale factor $R$ shapes the quantum wormholes the internal scale factor $a$ may play the role of effective matter source, and in the spectrum where the internal scale factor $a$ shapes the quantum wormholes the external scale factor $R$ may play the role of effective matter source.

description: With preference rigidities we find Pareto optima of an exchange economy, some of which
involve unconsumed endowments. We show that such Pareto Optima can only be attained as
market equilibria if there is a top dog in the initial endowment distribution who is richer than the
other individuals. The most inegalitarian efficient allocation favouring the top dog is globally
stable and is in the core. For endowment distributions with a top dog, the core contains efficient
allocations more equal than the market equilibrium. A voting mechanism or government policy
can also offset the top dog’s power.

Trace element analysis of native gold by laser ablation ICP-MS : a case study in greenstone-hosted quartz-carbonate vein ore deposits, Timmins, Ontario
Creators: name: Velasquez, Alejandro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Native gold contains trace amounts of other elements and from the relative abundance of these a geochemical signature can be obtained. The trace element composition provides a “fingerprint” that is unique to the gold deposit it comes from. This fingerprint can be used to distinguish gold sources and potentially provide insight into the geochemical processes operating in the formation of Au deposits. Native gold grains were acquired from 3 gold ore deposits; Hollinger, McIntyre, and Aunor. These ore deposits are located near Timmins, Ontario, in the western end of the Porcupine gold camp, the south-western part of the Abitibi greenstone belt. Respectively, Scanning Electron Microscope analysis/Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (SEM/EDS) was used to determine major elements in gold grains. Ag concentrations from the SEM/EDS analyses were used as the internal standard for the laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry technique (LA-ICP-MS) that yielded trace element concentrations. A new reference material (AuRM2) served as the external standard for 22 elemental analytes for the LA-ICP-MS analyses. Trace elements in native Au associate according to Goldschmidt’s classification of elements demonstrating that element behavior in native Au is not random. Such element behavior suggests that samples from each deposit formed under similar geological conditions. Chalcophile and siderophile elements provide the most compelling fingerprints of the three ore deposits and they appear to be in solid solution in Au whereas lithophile elements are not very advantageous for distinguishing deposits and element concentrations appear to be controlled by micro inclusions such as tourmaline. The deposits show low Ag contents, which is consistent with mesothermal Au. Hollinger and McIntyre deposits have similar trace element abundances with high Ag, Pb, Bi, Sb and Pd and low Cu; however Cu concentrations in McIntyre are higher than in Hollinger. In contrast, Aunor has high Cu abundances and low Ag, Bi, Sb, Pb and Pd. Gold grain signatures reflect the chemical characteristics of the host rock superimposed on the chemical signature of the mineralizing fluid. The association of Pb-Bi-Cu bearing phases such as galena and chalcopyrite with gold supports hydrothermal fluids with high concentrations of these elements.

description: Scarf's economy has been a vehicle in understanding stability properties in exchange economies. The
full set of market equilibria and Pareto optimal allocations for this economy has not been analysed. This
paper aims to do that. Firstly, we examine the Pareto optima and we and three different classes. Only
Class I exhausts the aggregate endowments of all the goods. Class II and III involve throwing away
partially or totally one good in order to achieve Pareto efficiency. Secondly, we explore the price and
endowment distribution combinations which sustain the different Pareto Optima as market equilibria.
A Pareto optimum which involves throwing away the whole endowment of one of the goods is globally
stable.

K-theoretic analogues of factorial Schur P- and Q-functions

description: We introduce two families of symmetric functions generalizing the factorial Schur $P$- and $Q$- functions due to Ivanov. We call them $K$-theoretic analogues of factorial Schur $P$- and $Q$- functions. We prove various combinatorial expressions for these functions, e.g. as a ratio of Pfaffians, and a sum over excited Young diagrams. As a geometric application, we show that these functions represent the Schubert classes in the $K$-theory of torus equivariant coherent sheaves on the maximal isotropic Grassmannians of symplectic and orthogonal types. This generalizes a corresponding result for the equivariant cohomology given by the authors. We also discuss a remarkable property enjoyed by these functions, which we call the $K$-theoretic $Q$-cancellation property. We prove that the $K$-theoretic $P$-functions form a (formal) basis of the ring of functions with the $K$-theoretic $Q$-cancellation property.

The Use of Low-Cost Technologies for the Promotion of Cultural Heritage Sites. The Case Study of Veleia
Creators: name: Manferdini, Anna Maria

Subjects: ICAR/17 Disegno

description: In the Cultural Heritage field, thanks to the recent development of digital technologies, a large variety of sites and artifacts could benefit from their free access and promotion through the web. But despite these achievements, the high costs that are generally connected with their use often limit their widespread. As a consequence, during the last two decades, scientific research is developing new tools and methodologies aimed at overcoming this problem. In particular, for example, researches in the field of image-based technologies and the development of open-source algorithms and software aimed at helping the processing, management and visualization of 3d data through the web represent remarkable attempts to extend the use of digital technologies in the Cultural Heritage field. 
This contribution shows the main steps of a project aimed at testing low-cost technologies within the multi-scalar digitization process of sites and artifacts. Thus these technologies still cannot provide analogous results in terms of definition and accuracy that it is possible to achieve using more expensive technologies (e.g. range-based technologies), they can supply low-resolution reality-based 3d models and effective representations that can be easily accessed through the web, with evident benefits in cultural contents sharing and promotion. Within a multi-scalar approach, the building of these kinds of models represents the first step of a process that, starting from low-resolution acquisitions, can improve the detail and definition of 3d digital models of artifacts by gradually adopting different methodologies and technologies. As a consequence, this approach can provide evident benefits on the achievement of different communication purposes, ranging from simple visualizations for popular aims to accurate and faithful digital replicas that can be fruited by different and changing users. Moreover, the adoption of this approach is particularly important within education processes aimed at training expert operators able to speed and therefore to further reduce costs connected with the digitization of Cultural Heritage.
Living with HIV and navigating the work of food security in Kelowna, Canada : an institutional ethnography
Creators: name: Picotte, Heather
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Using institutional ethnographic methodology, this dissertation explores how 12 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) go about maintaining food security in Kelowna, a small urban centre in southern British Columbia. Food acts as a lens through which a variety of issues are experienced; these include low income, poor health, and lack of mobility and social support. The paper is organized according to the “work” of being food secure, which encompasses obtaining food (by grocery shopping, visiting the food bank, or growing produce), affording food (by being employed or having income from a government program), being well enough to shop, prepare food and eat, and navigating institutional discourses around HIV and food security. Gregory Bateson’s notion of the double bind provides analytical grounding, as participants frequently encounter situations in which they are bound—physically, financially, socially, or discursively—by competing injunctions that hamper their overall health and food security. One of the main binds, which was experienced by most participants and found in nearly every act of the work of food security, existed in the dichotomy of affluence and invisibility. Kelowna is a very affluent city in which poverty and disease exist but are largely unseen. PLWHA are marginalized in this locale but simultaneously expected to look and act in ways that complement and contribute to the neoliberal capitalist marketplace. Findings build on the scant research on HIV and food security in the global north, and can be extrapolated to similar urban centres in North America, Europe, and Australia.

description: The Ascariasis is the most common intestinal parasitosis in Brazil, frequently affecting school-aged children. The lack of sanitation, combined with the socioeconomic conditions of the population, makes this parasitosis very prevalent in our environment. This study was part of a mandatory essay in the Parasitology course, conducted in groups within the Undergraduated Nursing Program, and involved developing a children's book to be used in communities served by extension projects. It also aimed to disseminate knowledge that could empower children in the prevention and promotion of their own health. The book was created wih a playful approach to facilitate learning and understanding about ascariasis and its prevention methods. Its creation included a cognitive model designed to stimulate memory, attetion, curiosity and sensory perception.
