description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of young stroke survivors (YSS) participating in a community-based peer support program in Calgary, Alberta. There is a lack of research on peer support groups facilitated by YSS themselves, and on the impact of peer support on the health and wellbeing of stroke survivors under the age of 50. Methods: This qualitative case study project was guided by Critical Disability Studies and included five semi-structured interviews with YSS in Calgary, Alberta. Participants were between the ages of 18-50 and had attended at least two YSS peer support activities in the past three years. Following the principles of community-based research, support for this research was provided by the Stroke Recovery Association of Calgary to co-create the research question, methods, recruitment, and analysis of results, along with guiding the development of the implications and recommendations. Results: Three main themes and six sub-themes were identified from the interviews as follows: 1) Feeling normal; 1a) What is normal anyways?; 1b) Why does there need to be a new normal?; 2) Connection through lived experience; 2a) Shared life and stroke experiences; 2b) Mixed feelings when meeting with other survivors; and 3) Perceived benefits of attending the peer support group; 3a) Being accepted by others; 3b) Opportunities for social interaction. Conclusion: This case study demonstrated that there continues to be value in recommending peer support to YSS, especially grassroots groups that are led and facilitated by those with lived experience. Participants experienced connection through shared experiences, as well as supported each other to navigate a world that caters to people who fit societal norms and often leaves them feeling isolated and alone.

description: I rapporti tra lo Stato italiano e la Chiesa cattolica sono stati segnati in passato, e lo sono ancora, a uno sguardo d’insieme, da occasioni mancate e interventi manchevoli. Le vicende dell'Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR), in particolare, sono state segnate da occasioni sprecate - da ambedue le parti - fin da quando era apparso incontrovertibile che l'Istituto, a dispetto della denominazione e diversamente da quanto previsto dallo Statuto, era dedito all'esercizio improprio di attività bancaria.

description: This thesis is a comparative analysis of three Canadian cities pursuing smart city initiatives in the years following Infrastructure Canada’s 2018 Smart Cities Challenge. Analyzing elite interviews and public texts relating to smart city initiatives in each case study, I first consider entrepreneurial inter-urban competition and economic development as a central objective and justification for municipal actors pursuing smartness. In all three cases, this results in a focus on procuring broadband infrastructure sufficient to support smart city applications while also supporting local businesses. Second, I consider how the smart city sociotechnical imaginary is used by private equity and smart city intermediaries to mobilize state intervention to facilitate public and private capital investment in information and communications technology infrastructure as part of a complex spatial fix. Both findings are most apparent in smaller and mid-sized communities on the periphery of urban centres, where legacy telecommunications service is most limited.

Abstract:
The concept of secularism can be understood in a political perspective or in a legal one. However, secularism is frequently identified with the concept of neutrality, so committing an epistemological error. In this essay, I try to demonstrate that the religious logos is indistinguishable from secular reason, and they both have the same dignity in the public debate. Finally, the article seeks to demonstrate that secularism in pluralistic societies, requires the cooperative research of the valuesinherent in social practices, in a perspective that is neither relativistic nor ideological.
Key words: Secularism, neutrality, objectivity.

The Poetry of Collective Life; How Post-Hardcore Bands Integrate Confessionalism in their Subcultural Music by Altering their Mode of Address

description: In this paper I will analyze how confession manifests in Cursive’s song “Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand”, juxtaposing my analysis with texts on subculture theory, namely Dick Hebdige’s Subculture: The Meaning of Style. Cursive writes in the post-hardcore genre, which is an offshoot of the punk music-based subculture. It explores how subcultural artists simultaneously represent their personal stories and reflect/adhere to subcultural values. Cursive acknowledges and contributes to this trend, as they integrate a religious metaphor alongside their personalized author-speaker, making their exploration of selfhood more widely comprehensible. Intertextually, subcultural confessionals both present experiences that are unique to their authors and embrace vague descriptors that allow their stories to appeal beyond the scope of themselves. Cursive reimagines confessionalism: they enter a context of social norms and mores, and can vaguely present thoughts and feelings that would require explanation were they not expressed within subculture. Subsequently, they can present a semi-confessional that both restricts and displays blatant confession. Confessionalism is a mode of lyrical expression centring first-person writing, making an inseparable author-speaker. In poetry and popular music, confession remains a mode of self-assertion that provides authors a theatre for unabashed, uninterrupted self-display, a trend that is disrupted within subcultural music. Subcultures are social subgroups developed by collective feelings of alienation from mass culture, and the subsequent desire to corrugate in a social microcosm where previously alienated qualities are accepted. In subculture, confession’s goal becomes to separate the author-speaker from mass culture but adhere to a smaller social group’s shared experiences. It simultaneously embraces self-assertion and homogenization.

description: We investigate the performance of an analytic model of the 3D matter distribution, which combines perturbation theory with halo models, for weak-lensing configuration-space statistics. We compared our predictions for the weak-lensing convergence two-point and three-point correlation functions with numerical simulations and fitting formulas proposed in previous works. We also considered the second- and third-order moments of the smoothed convergence and of the aperture-mass. As in our previous study of Fourier-space weak-lensing statistics, we find that our model agrees better with simulations than previously published fitting formulas. Moreover, we recover the dependence on cosmology of these weak-lensing statistics and we can describe multi-scale moments. This approach allows us to obtain the quantitative relationship between these integrated weak-lensing statistics and the various contributions to the underlying 3D density fluctuations, decomposed over perturbative, two-halo, or one-halo terms.

Towards smart methane emissions sensing: deployment optimization of multiscale sensing methods from the upstream oil and gas sector.

description: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled since pre-industrial times. The oil and gas (O&G) sector is a significant contributor to anthropogenic methane emissions. Reducing methane emissions from O&G sector has been internationally recognized as an effective solution to slow the global warming. In the past five years, several jurisdictions have introduced regulations to reduce methane emissions. To support reduction through measurement, new technologies have been widely tested and deployed to detect and measure methane, including satellite systems, aircraft systems, vehicle systems, drones, fixed sensors, optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras, and handheld instruments. However, guidance on deploying these technologies effectively and efficiently to find and reduce emissions is lacking. This thesis aims to address this issue by investigating limitations and strategies to optimize technology deployment with satellites, vehicle systems, and OGI cameras. For passive satellites, results indicate global variations of observational coverage associated with climate zones and solar zenith angle. Satellites are effective monitoring tools of O&G emissions in drylands of mid- and low latitudes but are far less effective over the tropics and at high latitudes. Other technologies must be used to fill the gaps. For vehicle systems, a method was developed and tested to optimize their deployment to detect and measure emissions from public roads. The method predicts the location on a public road where a vehicle system is most likely to intersect and therefore detect and quantify a methane plume from a site upwind. Testing indicates the method can be helpful for planning driving routes and regional monitoring campaigns to increase the probability of intersecting plumes. For OGI cameras – the regulatory standard for identifying leaking components at O&G sites – a co-operative leak inspection program was proposed and evaluated as a strategy to increase efficiency and lower cost. To test this concept, a simulation model was developed and showed that efficiency gains and costs savings are possible compared to independent inspection programs implemented by each duty holder, and that regions with a large diversity of O&G site duty holders are optimal. In summary, this thesis demonstrates where and how to deploy select technologies effectively and efficiently to measure methane emissions from the O&G sector.

description: We fix the supports A=(A_1,...,A_k) of a list of tropical polynomials and define the tropical resultant TR(A) to be the set of choices of coefficients such that the tropical polynomials have a common solution. We prove that TR(A) is the tropicalization of the algebraic variety of solvable systems and that its dimension can be computed in polynomial time. The tropical resultant inherits a fan structure from the secondary fan of the Cayley configuration of A and we present algorithms for the traversal of TR(A) in this structure. We also present a new algorithm for recovering a Newton polytope from the support of its tropical hypersurface. We use this to compute the Newton polytope of the sparse resultant polynomial in the case when TR(A) is of codimension 1. Finally we consider the more general setting of specialized tropical resultants and report on experiments with our implementations.

description: Turbulent flows are characterized by interactions of widespread spatiotemporal scales. Experimental techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry can provide correlated flow measurements, however, obtaining suitable resolution of temporal and spatial scales remains challenging. This work investigates the ability of an advection-based flow reconstruction technique to increase the temporal resolution of turbulent flow data. A semi-Lagrangian technique is used to obtain instantaneous fluid trajectories through a forward and backward integration of the known data. The estimates are then fused using a temporal weighting scheme to yield velocity fields at intermediate times. The performance of the method is verified against a benchmark direct numerical simulation (DNS) data set. Spectral information up to two orders of magnitude beyond the Nyquist criteria is successfully - surpassing the performance of previously introduced methods. Correlation maps are used to quantify the spatial loss of memory and define a criterion for the maximum recoverable frequency.

Transformation ihres Stadtbusverkehrs vom Diesel- zum elektrischen Antrieb.
Diese Entwicklung stellt aufgrund umfangreicher ökonomischer und technologischer
Aufwände sowie Unsicherheiten die Busbetreiber vor neue, große
Herausforderungen. Es ergibt sich die Frage nach der langfristig technologisch
und betriebswirtschaftlich optimalen Konfiguration einzelner E-Bus-Linien
sowie eines stadtweiten E-Bus-Netzes. Diese Arbeit soll ihren Beitrag dazu
leisten, die vorhandenen Auslegungs-Zielkonflikte aufzulösen, indem sie eine
techno-ökonomische Methodik einführt, wie für zu elektrifizierende Buslinien
die technischen Parameter zu wählen sind. Hierbei sind über die Lebenszeit
der Fahrzeuge und ihrer Infrastruktur die günstigsten Total Cost of Ownership
(Lebenszykluskosten) zu gewährleisten.
Die Methodik fußt auf zwei Säulen: Einerseits auf einer detaillierten technologischen
Simulation des Gesamtsystems E-Bus zur Ermittlung validierter
Energiebedarfe in Abhängigkeit der betrieblichen Anforderungen. Andererseits
auf einer umfassenden Analyse der Lebenszykluskosten für E-Bus-
Systeme, auch unter Berücksichtung von externen Kosten. Die Berechnungen
aus beiden Bereichen liefern die Eingangswerte zur anschließenden technoökonomische
Optimierung. Anhand deren Ergebnisse können die
Konfiguration einzelner E-Buslinien unter verschiedenen Rahmenbedingungen
analysiert, Synergieeffekte zu anderen Linien in Hinblick auf eine
Busnetzauslegung ermittelt und entsprechend die geeigneten kostenoptimalen
technischen Parameter gewählt werden.

description: We use numerical simulations of isolated galaxies to study the effects of stellar feedback on the formation and evolution of giant star-forming gas 'clumps' in high-redshift, gas-rich galaxies. Such galactic disks are unstable to the formation of bound gas-rich clumps whose properties initially depend only on global disk properties, not the microphysics of feedback. In simulations without stellar feedback, clumps turn an order-unity fraction of their mass into stars and sink to the center, forming a large bulge and kicking most of the stars out into a much more extended stellar envelope. By contrast, strong radiative stellar feedback disrupts even the most massive clumps after they turn ~10-20% of their mass into stars, in a timescale of ~10-100 Myr, ejecting some material into a super-wind and recycling the rest of the gas into the diffuse ISM. This suppresses the bulge formation rate by direct 'clump coalescence' by a factor of several. However, the galactic disks do undergo significant internal evolution in the absence of mergers: clumps form and disrupt continuously and torque gas to the galactic center. The resulting evolution is qualitatively similar to bar/spiral evolution in simulations with a more homogeneous ISM.

Laboratory Study of Enhanced Oil Recovery Through Cyclic Solvent Injection in Low-Permeable Rocks

description: Cyclic Solvent Injection (CSI), otherwise known as “huff-n-puff solvent injection”, is an essential utility in increasing hydrocarbon production in unconventional reservoirs. Current conventional production is heavily targeted towards high-permeable sandstone reservoirs, whereas a vast amount of tight oil from shale and low-permeable rock formations are not economically viable to produce from. With increasing demand, more data from laboratory investigations of huff-n-puff experiments can help evaluate the different factors affecting recovery performance. Current laboratory experiments use a linear core holder system where the in-situ production time for large pore volumes can be tedious. By using a newly designed radial injection core holder, the amount of time to produce large volumes while using reservoir conditions can be decreased significantly. In this investigation, simultaneous radial and linear flow experiments were run in separate experimental setups comparing the effect of different cores, solvent gases, overburden pressures, water saturation, soaking times, production times, inversed/reversed flow, vertical/horizontal flow and gas injection cycles on the resulting production data. The cores used were Torrey sandstone, Scioto sandstone, and Eagle Ford shale placed inside the high-pressure vessels. The three gas solvents used throughout all the huff-n-puff experiments were CH4, CO2, and N2, comparing the recovery factors of the produced pentane oil. The experiments compared the presence of connate water saturation to full oil saturation in the cores and studied the effects of 24-, 48-, and 72-hour soaking times and 1-, 2-, and 3-hour production times. Comparisons were made injecting through the center of the radial cores and producing radially outward, and vice versa. Finally, experiments were run analyzing the effect vertical injection and production had when compared to horizontal. The results concluded increases in recovery factor due to increased overburden pressure, soaking times, production times, and number of gas cycles, consistent for both primary and huff-n-puff production in both setups. It was also concluded that recovery factor was increased from decreased permeabilities and the presence of water saturation. Finally, the effect of inversed flow paths and vertical production alignment was inconclusive when comparing recovery factors of the completed experiments. With extremely limited studies using radial injection techniques, this data can be used to help advance tight oil potential in the petroleum industry and create opportunities for more economically viable recovery costs.

description: Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is a multi-organ, zoonotic disease predominant in the northern hemisphere. Lyme borreliosis is caused by different members of the genus Borrelia, most notably Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted to humans by a tick vector during its blood meal. Lyme disease results in a wide range of symptoms making the disease difficult to diagnose. These various clinical manifestations are due to the spirochetes’ ability to extravasate into different tissues all over the body. Previous studies have shown that treatment with IL-10, TNF-α, and MCP-1 can potentiate the vasculature and accelerate the vascular transmigration process. The direct assessment of cytokine transcript levels from mouse leukocytes that can contribute to extravasation had not previously been reported. In this study, we analyzed the effects of infection with various strains of B. burgdorferi at different time points before vascular transmigration on the cytokine transcript levels of host leukocytes. Additionally, we further characterized the differences between BALB/c and Cd1d -/- mice in their inflammatory responses.

description: Nonlinear pseudo-fermions of degree n (n-pseudo-fermions) are introduced as (pseudo) particles with creation and annihilation operators $a$ and $b$, $b \neq a^\dagger$, obeying the simple nonlinear anticommutation relation $ab + b^n a^n = 1$. The (n+1)-order nilpotency of these operators follows from the existence of unique (up to a bi-normalization factor) $a$-vacuum. Supposing appropriate (n+1)-order nilpotent para-Grassmann variables and integration rules the sets of n-pseudo-fermion number states, and 'right' and 'left' ladder operator bi-overcomplete sets of coherent states are constructed. Explicit examples of n-pseudo-fermion ladder operators are provided, and the relation of pseudo-fermions to finite-level pseudo-Hermitian systems is briefly considered.

description: Research has found that humour styles can moderate the relationship between various facets of mental health and well-being. However, most of these studies have used college student samples, and thus the generalizability of these findings has not been firmly established. This study examined how humour styles may moderate the relationship between hopelessness and suicide ideation in both student and community samples. Five-hundred and fifty-four community participants from the U.S. and Canada, and 208 student participants from a Canadian university were recruited and completed several self-report measures online. Analyses revealed several differences in humour styles and mental health measures between the samples, as well as differences in humour styles between males and females. Regression analyses showed that self-defeating humour moderated the relationship between hopelessness and suicide ideation in an exacerbating fashion for student participants but not community participants. Self-enhancing humour moderated the relationship between hopelessness and suicide ideation in the same direction in community participants but not student participants. These results suggest that high levels of self-enhancing and self-defeating humour may be uniquely maladaptive for these respective samples. The differences between the samples point to the necessity of recruiting diverse samples to better understand the relationships between humour styles and mental health. The potential to use humour styles as a diagnostic tool to identify at-risk individuals and to inform the development of intervention programs is discussed.

Planning and designing urban open spaces for low income neighbourhoods in Chile : case study, Alto Hospicio Chile
Creators: name: Leyton Elizalde, Paula
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: With the global increase in the density of urban population, policy makers and planners have been paying significantly more attention to measures designed to promote sustainable development and to improve the quality of life in the urban environment. Chile’s marked demographic explosion and its rapid urbanisation increased the housing demand; as a result, this overcrowding created land invasions and informal settlements. From the 1980s to 2006, the Chilean government implemented a policy that reduced the total housing deficit by half, unfortunately, this policy favoured quantity over quality and resulted in extended social housing complexes as opposed to designing complete neighbourhoods. In addition, unplanned and informal settlements arose in many regions of the country and were relocated to the periphery of existing cities. This excluded residents from their entire social and economic system. Due to a lack of spatial and social connections, especially urban open space, these communities have morphed into pockets of inequity, delinquency and spatial segregation. Using a case study approach to address the research questions, this study evaluates how urban open space currently functions in Alto Hospicio and aims to contribute with a design framework that may guide and inform government, municipal authorities, planners, and designers in the implementation of more adequate urban open spaces in the under-utilized landscape of Chile’s low-income communities.

description: Background: Neutrino-nucleus quasi-elastic scattering is crucial to interpret the neutrino oscillation results in long baseline neutrino experiments. There are rather large uncertainties in the cross section, due to insufficient knowledge on the role of two-body weak currents. Purpose: Determine the role of two-body weak currents in neutrino-deuteron quasi-elastic scattering up to GeV energies. Methods: Calculate cross sections for inclusive neutrino scattering off deuteron induced by neutral and charge-changing weak currents, from threshold up to GeV energies, using the Argonne $v_{18}$ potential and consistent nuclear electroweak currents with one- and two-body terms. Results: Two-body contributions are found to be small, and increase the cross sections obtained with one-body currents by less than 10% over the whole range of energies. Total cross sections obtained by describing the final two-nucleon states with plane waves differ negligibly, for neutrino energies $\gtrsim 500$ MeV, from those in which interaction effects in these states are fully accounted for. The sensitivity of the calculated cross sections to different models for the two-nucleon potential and/or two-body terms in the weak current is found to be weak. Comparing cross sections to those obtained in a naive model in which the deuteron is taken to consist of a free proton and neutron at rest, nuclear structure effects are illustrated to be non-negligible. Conclusion: Contributions of two-body currents in neutrino-deuteron quasi-elastic scattering up to GeV are found to be smaller than 10%. Finally, it should be stressed that the results reported in this work do not include pion production channels.

description: To achieve sustainable change in teaching and learning reform projects, the teaching culture must shift. One of the ways culture can be influenced is through teaching communities. In STEM disciplines, where graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) do most of the undergraduate laboratory (lab) teaching, GTAs must be included in these teaching communities. The purpose of my thesis was to study a teaching community aimed at supporting GTAs’ pedagogical learning and practices, while teaching reformed undergraduate exercise physiology labs. I call this community a “pedagogy-focused community of practice (CoP)” in my thesis and define it as a group of individuals working together to learn, improve, and strengthen each member’s teaching practices.The scholarly personal narrative (SPN) in Chapter 2 of my thesis centres my personal experiences as an undergraduate student completing the exercise physiology labs pre-reform and as a graduate student new to SoTL, studying lab teaching and learning reform. The SPN details the development in my understanding of experiential learning (EL) and the necessary step of reflecting to enable EL. In the SPN, I also share my perspective, as a student and researcher, on the creation of a pedagogy-focused CoP with the instructional team of the undergraduate exercise physiology course (i.e., the course instructor, lab technicians, and GTAs) aimed at enabling and supporting changes to lab teaching and learning. The descriptive case study in Chapter 3 of my thesis features the experiences of the GTAs in the pedagogy-focused CoP discussed in the SPN. Data from semi-structured interviews with seven GTAs was analyzed and interpreted using reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2019). This case study highlights what happens when GTAs consistently reflect on and discuss their teaching in a psychologically safe teaching community each week. GTAs described learning about and trying teaching strategies that were new to them, becoming autonomous and confident teachers, and approaching their teaching philosophies.

Nucleotide insertion initiated by van der Waals interaction during polymerase beta DNA replication

description: We give unambiguous theoretical analyses and show that the exclusive biochemical reaction involved in a single nucleotide insertion into the DNA primer can be efficiently tracked using the renormalized van der Waals (vdW) interaction of a stronger type, the Hermansson blue-shifting hydrogen bond effect, and the Arunan composite hydrogen-vdW bond. We find that there are two biochemical steps involved to complete the insertion of a single base (cytosine) into the 3$'$ end of a DNA primer. First, the O3$'$ (from a DNA primer) initiates the nucleophilic attack on P$_α$ (from an incoming dCTP), in response, O3$_α$ (bonded to P$_α$) interacts with H$'$ (bonded to O3$'$). These interactions are shown to be strongly interdependent and require the forming and breaking of P---O and H---O covalent bonds, which in turn imply that we do not need any external energy supply.

description: With the single-sided MPI-Scanner unlimited object sizes can be measured and it is suitable for various medical applications. In previous measurements, the penetration depth for two-dimensional measurements has already been investigated, as well as the local resolution. The system has evolved from a one-dimensional to a three-dimensional system. Here, further measurements are carried out to characterize the system. To measure the penetration depth and spatial resolution as well as the influence of the orientation of the receiving coils, a four-layer phantom was measured three-dimensionally at different angles. Furthermore, a dilution series was measured to determine the linearity of the system reaction, which is a prerequisite for the quantifiability of the results. The results of both studies are shown and discussed in this work. Int. J. Mag. Part. Imag. 7(2), 2021, Article ID: 2109001, DOI: 10.18416/IJMPI.2021.2109001
