description: The present study conducted a literature review on divergent streams of research in the ‘Meaning of Work’ (MW) literature and proposed a theoretical model that encapsulates existing knowledge. I explored the links and relevance of the mainstream MW (Meaning of Work) literature, as represented by the proposed model, to the literature on Indigenous employment. Using this model as an analytical foundation, I conducted qualitative content and thematic analyses on interview data from 18 Indigenous employees of Western Canadian universities, representing diverse professions, seniority levels, and genders. My analyses show that the criteria for meaningful work for my Indigenous employee participants were linked to their cultural identities.
Shakespeare's Dramatic Style at the Curtain Playhouse (1597-99)

subject: Curtain Playhouse
subject: Shoreditch
subject: Site
subject: Literature--English

description: My project was prompted by the Museum of London Archaeology’s (MOLA) excavations of the Curtain site in 2016. These revealed a rectangular playhouse that was so well-preserved it provided an unprecedentedly detailed set of performance conditions to study Shakespeare’s Shoreditch plays. Approaching the term “style” as a composite of what a dramatic text is made of/from (aesthetics) and how it is used (utility), I develop a hybrid methodology in this study that reanimates features of John Russell Brown’s 1970 book Shakespeare’s Dramatic Style and applies the latest advances in textual studies, theatre history, and practice-as-research (PaR) to show a new style of Shakespeare at the Curtain. The Lord Chamberlain’s Men relocated to the Curtain in 1597 after suffering a series of personal, legal, and financial setbacks and remained there until the new Globe opened in the summer of 1599. During this time, Shakespeare was an ambitious but cash-strapped playwright who retooled old plays to pull in new crowds (Romeo and Juliet), cashed-in on popular characters with sure-fire spin-offs (The Merry Wives of Windsor), and found innovative solutions for the Curtain’s fluid audiences (Henry V). In a series of three sequential case studies, I demonstrate that Shakespeare adapted his dramatic style to account for the unique circumstances and challenges presented by Curtain performance. The result was a raucous, violent, and interactive style of Shakespeare, unlike any other stage in his career or at any other playhouse. My research was heavily impacted by Covid-19, and consequently these findings have implications that reach beyond the study’s motivating purpose. In addition to providing new critical territory that engages scholars from across a broad range of disciplines in productive new conversations about Shakespeare’s style, my study presents a model that connects dramatic texts with their sites of performance while reducing geographical barriers to participation.

description: Το μάρκετινγκ προϊόντων τεχνολογιών αιχμής έρχεται αντιμέτωπο με την πρόκληση της παρουσίασης μιας καινοτομίας στους καταναλωτές και ταυτόχρονα της διαβεβαίωσης σχετικά με την ασφάλεια του προϊόντος. Η βασική μας υπόθεσή είναι ότι αυτό επιτυγχάνεται μέσω μιας διαδικασίας που διαφέρει από τους παραδοσιακούς προσανατολισμούς του μάρκετινγκ και επίσης δεν δύναται να περιγραφεί από μοντέλα επικοινωνίας όπως το Εκτεταμένο Κανονικό Μοντέλο. Προκειμένου να επαληθεύσουμε αυτόν τον ισχυρισμό, μελετήσαμε ένα δείγμα επτά διαφημιστικών βίντεο με λεγόμενα προϊόντα "υψηλής τεχνολογίας" που είναι διαθέσιμα στο Youtube στα αντίστοιχα κανάλια των εταιρειών. Καλύπτοντας ένα ευρύ φάσμα εφαρμογών, εντοπίσαμε ισοτοπίες στα λεκτικά και οπτικά στοιχεία των διαφημίσεων, καθώς και διακειμενικές αναφορές σε προηγούμενα πολιτιστικά έργα που αποκαλύπτουν επιρροές. Καταλήγουμε στο συμπέρασμα ότι η διαφημιστική διαδικασία είναι σύνθετη και ξεκινά με μια αρχική ιδέα ή πρωτότυπο σχετικά με την νέα τεχνολογία, η οποία πυροδοτεί μια σειρά πολιτισμικών έργων, που με τη σειρά τους εμπνέουν τη δημιουργία των πραγματικών προϊόντων. Τέλος, το μάρκετινγκ χρησιμοποιεί αυτές τις αναφορές για να ανοίξει το δρόμο για τα προϊόντα αυτά . Σε αντίθεση με το Εκτεταμένο Κανονικό Μοντέλο, ο αποστολέας, το μήνυμα και ο δέκτης δημιουργούνται ταυτόχρονα, χωρίς κανένα από αυτά να προϋπάρχει.
description: The marketing of high-technology products faces the challenge of introducing a novelty to consumers while at the same time reassuring them about the safety of the product. Our hypothesis is that this is achieved through a process that is different from traditional marketing orientations and also outside the scope of communication models such as the Extended Canonical Model. In order to verify this claim, we studied a sample of seven video advertisements featuring so called “high-tech” products available on Youtube in the companies’ respective channels. Covering a wide range of applications, we identified isotopies in the verbal and visual elements of the commercials, as well as intertextual references to previous cultural works that reveal influence. We conclude that the advertising process is a complex one, starting with the early idea or prototype of the technology, which triggers a series of cultural works, that in turn inspire the creation of the actual products. Finally, marketing uses these references to pave the way for the new technology . In contrast to the Extended Canonical Model, the sender, the message and the receiver are created simultaneously, with none of them pre-exisiting.
Data Journalism and the Law

Journalism--Data processing
Mass media--Law and legislation

description: While data journalism has been the hot topic of various recent reports, no studies have discussed how the changes in journalistic storytelling may create new legal considerations for journalists. This report aims to help journalists, lawyers, and academics understand the changes taking place in media law as a result of both the growing volume of data in our information economy, and the the seismic shifts occurring within journalism and technology. By examining developments in newsgathering law, the Freedom of Information Act, and laws involved in leak investigations, this research underscores worrisome shifts in the law, as well as gray areas where reform would strengthen the rights of a free press and journalists. In its first part, the report looks at emerging concerns over data journalism projects that could trigger the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. §1030(a)(4)i for scraping, a data collection technique that usually relies on automation—through bots, crawlers, or applications—to extract data from a website. As data collection becomes increasingly important for investigative journalists in particular, legal experts worry about civil and criminal penalties that exist under the statute—which has been described by some First Amendment advocates as unconstitutionally vague. In reviewing the history and case law of the CFAA in relationship to journalism, the research offers practical tips and various legal considerations on the issue. Next, the report discusses troubling trends arising under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in the digital age, as the amount of government information held in databases and government logs grows, and the need for transparency is crucial. Lastly, it reviews data’s impact on laws affecting whistleblowers. In the past decade, we’ve seen more leak prosecutions in the United States than all those combined in the country’s history. This, of course, occurs at a time when there is more information than ever before for whistleblowers to share.

Not Indian Enough: The History of the Michel Indian Band
Creators: name: Snyder, Henry Campbell
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Michel
subject: Native American Studies
subject: History--Modern

description: Michel Callihoo signed Treaty 6 in 1878 on behalf of his Cree Nation, becoming the Michel band consisting of roughly 160 individuals. The bands’ reserve was located west of Edmonton, until it was dissolved in 1958 through involuntary enfranchisement. The Michel band remains the only Indian band in Canada to be wholly dissolved involuntarily. This thesis explores the history of the Michel band, and the Callihoo family as they navigated the tumultuous implementation of the Indian Act as opposed to the treaties. Chapter 1 explores the early history of the Callihoo family until treaty signing, paralleling the experiences of the Michel band at Lac Ste. Anne with the events of the Red River Valley. Chapter 2 looks at the non-implementation of the treaty agreement and the harsh measures imposed by the Canadian government in their attempts to expand control and “civilize” the Indians throughout the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century through means like Metis scrip and direct Indian Agent control. Chapter 3 finishes the history of the Michel band, as the Department of Indian Affairs took deliberate steps to enfranchise the members of the Michel band causing them and their descendants to lose Indian status to this day.
Client perceptions of a street nurse clinic : a qualitative study
Creators: name: Hobbs, Rhodina Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study was to discover and understand client perceptions of the Cammy LaFleur Street Clinic (CLSC). The CLSC was a harm reduction strategy that offered health and social care to people living homeless and near homeless in a region known as the North Okanagan, in British Columbia Canada. This naturalistic inquiry utilized qualitative description as its methodology. Twelve clients participated in audio-taped, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. Eleven interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using constant comparison analysis. Clients described care found at the CLSC according to four distinct, yet interdependent themes: place, mattering, ability to meet ones’ own needs, and being ‘OK’. Clients perceived the CLSC to be a safe and inclusive place. Their perceptions of mattering were shaped by the trust they had in the staff’s understanding, acceptance, willingness to care for them, and to be there for them. Free and unconditional access to information, basic supplies, and referrals to health and social care and community-based helping initiatives, promoted independence and the development of self-compassion, strengths, and motivation for health and wellness. The findings of this study reveal that there is more to be gained by drawing on the expertise of people than by shaming them into silence. Clients of the CLSC gave voice to the benefits of being recognized and acknowledged for knowing what was needed to support them in health and wellness. An understanding of their experiences and perceptions may give nursing the foundation to develop a strength-based model of care specific to vulnerable populations. It would be one focused on mattering and the elements of care that promote perceptions of mattering.

In this limit, we compute the four-point block as a special case of an sl3-invariant function. In the case when two of the four fields are semi-degenerate, we check that our results agree with the block's combinatorial expansion as a sum over Young diagrams. We also show that such a block obeys a sixth-order differential equation, and that it has an unexpected singularity at z=-1, in addition to the expected singularities at z=0,1,infinity.

description: We investigate the possibility for cosmic ray experiments to discover non-thermal small black holes with masses in the TeV range. Such black holes would result due to the impact between ultra high energy cosmic rays or neutrinos with nuclei from the upper atmosphere and decay instantaneously. They could be produced copiously if the Planck scale is in the few TeV region. As their masses are close to the Planck scale, these holes would typically decay into two particles emitted back-to-back. Depending on the angles between the emitted particles with respect to the center of mass direction of motion, it is possible for the simultaneous showers to be measured by the detectors.

description: Τhis thesis is the annotated translation of selected extracts of the article "Shifting forensic science focus from means to purpose: A path forward for the discipline?" from English to Greek. It concerns the complexity of the subject of forensic science and the plurality of tools and methods applied worldwide. On the one hand, they enrich and strengthen the discipline; on the other hand, they threaten to some extent its continuity with disintegration. In order to avoid further fragmentation it is proposed to shift focus from means to purpose, while promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in order to obtain the best results that forensic research can offer.

Cooperation

description: The history of journalism includes many and varied forms of cooperation, as far back as landmark events such as the creation of the Associated Press by five New York newspapers in 1846 to share costs related to the coverage of the Mexican-American War. What sets the current phase of collaboration apart from previous ones is the wide diffusion of networked forms of organization and production, and the transformative impact of these cooperative practices in reshaping the new media world and its under- lying social and technological infrastructure as public utilities. This report explores the gradual development of this phenomenon and the related development of a new commons for journalism, or a collection of shared resources and communities reconfiguring the material and cultural conditions of newswork as a social practice subject to dilemmas that require cooperation. The journalism commons, often going unrecognized in the academic and public discourse on the future of media, offers a framework to make sense of the new schemes of human relations, production, and governance.

description: We investigate the quench dynamics of the one-particle entanglement spectra (OPES) for systems with topologically nontrivial phases. By using dimerized chains as an example, it is demonstrated that the evolution of OPES for the quenched bi-partite systems is governed by an effective Hamiltonian which is characterized by a pseudo spin in a time-dependent pseudo magnetic field $\vec{S}(k,t)$. The existence and evolution of the topological maximally-entangled edge states are determined by the winding number of $\vec{S}(k,t)$ in the $k$-space. In particular, the maximally-entangled edge states survive only if nontrivial Berry phases are induced by the winding of $\vec{S}(k,t)$. In the infinite time limit the equilibrium OPES can be determined by an effective time-independent pseudo magnetic field $\vec{S}_{\mb{eff}}(k)$. Furthermore, when maximally-entangled edge states are unstable, they are destroyed by quasiparticles within a characteristic timescale in proportional to the system size.

In spite of its strange nature, this solution provides with non-trivial descriptions of gravitational effects. We show that the main aspects found in the \emph{dark matter phenomena} can be satisfactorily described by this geometry. We comment on the relevance it could have to consider non-vanishing spacelike components of the stress-energy-momentum tensor ascribed to dark matter.

description: Rodents represent more than 95% of the laboratory animals used in preclinical and neuroscience research. Mouse behavior analysis is an important step to evaluate disease states and normal brain processes. This thesis focuses on developing automatic video-based mouse behavior analysis tools, which allow high throughput assessments and alleviate the limitations of manual analysis. Particularly, we investigated multiple machine-learning based approaches to fill the gaps of existing studies regarding rodent behavior measurements and create reliable computer-assisted frameworks. Firstly, we introduced MaSoMoTr which is a markerless mice tracking tool for social experiments. The tracking workflow incorporated deep-learning-based techniques with conventional handcrafted tracking methods to simultaneously track two mice of the same appearance in controlled settings. The proposed method achieved significant improvement compared to the state-of-the-art pose-estimation-based tracking frameworks. Following that, we developed a social behavior recognition system integrating our tracking tool to identify a set of mouse behaviors in continuous videos recording two interacting mice. Datasets collected and annotated during these two studies have been made publicly available for further research and development. Finally, two approaches were proposed for automatically recognizing single mouse behaviors in two different settings. We investigated the possibility of extracting spatio-temporal features from single mouse recordings using a deep learning structure which combined a 3D convolutional network and a recurrent neural network with Long Short-Term Memory cells. These extracted features were tested to recognize 8 single mouse behaviors in videos belonging to the largest public single mouse dataset and attained promising performance. Next, we proposed a noninvasive video-based method for mouse sleep assessment. The results obtained were highly correlated with commonly used invasive methods

First, we quantify the notion of quantum distinguishability between parametric density operators by means of the Wigner-Yanase quantum information metric. We then show that the quantum searching problem can be recast in an information geometric framework where Grover's dynamics is characterized by a geodesic on the manifold of the parametric density operators of pure quantum states constructed from the continuous approximation of the parametric quantum output state in Grover's algorithm. We also discuss possible deviations from Grover's algorithm within this quantum information geometric setting.

Radio-to-TeV Phase-resolved Emission from the Crab Pulsar: The Annular Gap Model
Creators: name: Du, YuanJie

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the framework of the three-dimensional (3D) annular gap model with reasonable parameters (the magnetic inclination angle α= 45 deg and the view angle ζ= 63 deg), we first use the latest hight energy data to self-consistently calculate radio, X-ray, gamma-ray and TeV (MAGIC and VERITAS) light curves, phase-averaged spectrum and phase-resolved spectra for the Crab pulsar. It is found that the acceleration electric field and potential in the annular gap and core gap are huge enough in the several tens of neutron star radii. The pulsed emission of radio, X-ray, gamma-ray and TeV are mainly generated from the emission of primary particles or secondary particles with different emission mechanisms in the nearly similar region of the annular gap located in the only one magnetic pole, which leads to the nearly "phase-aligned" multi-wavelength light curves. The emission of peak 1 (P1) and peak 2 (P2) is originated from the annular gap region near the null charge surface, while the emission of bridge is mainly originated from the core gap region. The phase-averaged spectrum and phase-resolved spectra of the Crab pulsar from soft X-ray to TeV band are produced by four components: synchrotron radiation from CR-induced and ICS-induced pairs dominates the X-ray band to soft gamma-ray band (100 eV to 10 MeV); curvature radiation and synchrotron radiation from the primary particles mainly contribute to gamma-ray band (10 MeV to \sim 20 GeV); ICS from the pairs significantly contributes to the TeV gamma-ray band (\sim 20 GeV to 400 GeV). The multi-wavelength pulsed emission from the Crab pulsar has been well modeled with the annular gap and core gap model. To distinguish our single magnetic pole model from two-pole models, the convincing values of the magnetic inclination angle and the viewing angle will play a key role.

Brane Isotropisation in Extra-Dimensional Tolman-Bondi Universe

description: We consider the dynamics of a 3-brane embedded in an extra-dimensional Tolman-Bondi Universe where the origin of space plays a special role. The embedding is chosen such that the induced matter distribution on the brane respects the spherical symmetry of matter in the extra dimensional space. The mirage cosmology on the probe brane is studied, resulting in an inhomogeneous and anisotropic four dimensional cosmology where the origin of space is also special. We then focus on the spatial geometry around the origin and show that the induced geometry, which is initially inhomogeneous and anisotropic, converges to an isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann-Lemaitre 4d space-time. For instance, when a 3-brane is embedded in a 5d matter dominated model, the 4d dynamics around the origin converge to a Friedmann-Lemaitre Universe in a radiation dominated epoch. We analyse this isotropisation process and show that it is a late time attractor.

Developing long-read Oxford Nanopore nemabiome metabarcoding for ovine gastrointestinal nematode community analysis and diagnostics

description: Parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) are major causes of disease in animals and humans and the routine use of anthelmintic drugs in their management is increasingly ineffective due to widespread anthelmintic drug resistance. Consequently, there is a growing need for improved diagnostic tools to enable more evidence-based approaches to control including more targeted and sustainable drug use. ITS-2 nemabiome metabarcoding is a powerful method to determine the relative abundance of GIN species isolated from fecal samples from a number of animal species. This thesis presents research aiming to improve this method to increase its flexibility, widen its applicability and make it more suitable for more routine diagnostics and surveillance. Sheep are an excellent system to develop GIN molecular diagnostic methods; GIN are arguably better studied in sheep than in any other host due to their major impact on sheep production. The research in this thesis has three main aims: (i) To transition nemabiome metabarcoding away from the short-read Illumina platform to the long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platform. (ii) To apply nemabiome metabarcoding directly to DNA from fecal material rather than harvested parasite populations. (iii) To develop nemabiome metabarcoding to determine the absolute abundance of GIN in fecal samples rather than just their relative abundance. Chapter 2 presents a set of four new non-redundant nematode rRNA databases and a WebApp, ‘PrimerTC’, to assess the taxonomic conservation of primers targeting different regions of the rRNA cistron across the nematode phylum. These new resources should enable more targeted and more comprehensive metabarcoding for both parasitic and free-living nematodes. Chapter 3 introduces ITS-1/5.8S/ITS-2 rRNA long-read ONT metabarcoding for GIN species relative quantitation. This chapter also pioneers the application of ITS-2 and ITS-1/5.8S/ITS-2 metabarcoding directly to DNA extracted from ovine fecal samples. Chapter 4 explores a synthetic DNA spike-in approach for absolute quantitation of GIN species in ovine fecal samples using both ITS-2 rDNA Illumina short-read and ITS-1/5.8S/ITS-2 long-read nemabiome metabarcoding. The new tools and methodologies presented in this thesis should pave the way for more widescale adoption of nemabiome metabarcoding as a tool in research, surveillance, and routine diagnostics.

Influence of the auditor general’s report of Constituency Development Fund management actions on financial accountability of Njoro in Kenya.pdf
Creators: name: Oluoch, George
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Financial accounting

description: The Auditor general plays a critical role in the audit of public finances including the National
 Government Constituency Development Fund. Public Finance Act requires that at the end of
 each financial year the Constituency Development Fund shall prepare financial statements.
 The audit of the financial statements of the Constituency Development Fund is critical in
 ensuring that there is financial accountability in the usage of financial resources and the
 achievement of objectives of the Constituency Development Fund. This study examined the
 influence of NG CDF management actions on the auditor general report on financial
 accountability of Njoro NG CDF in Kenya. The study was based on the descriptive research
 design. The target population of this study were the NG CDF Accounting officers,
 management committee and the project coordinators of various projects within Njoro
 constituency. Thus, this study had a target population of 56 members that constitute the 10
 NG CDF Accounting Officers, 30 Constituency Development Fund management committee
 and 16 project coordinators of various projects. Reliability of the questionnaires was tested
 using Cronbach’s Alpha test of internal consistency. The results indicated that NG CDF
 management action significantly influenced financial accountability (β=0.417; p<0.05).
 Therefore, it can be deduced that a unit increase in NG CDF management action would lead
 to an increase in financial accountability by a factor of 0.417. The study concludes that NG
 CDF management actions on auditor general queries significantly influence financial
 accountability among Njoro NG CDF in Kenya. The study recommended that NG CDF
 should observe objectivity in taking management action to improve financial accountability
 of the constituencies. Amongst the aspects that the NG CDF officers should observe, include,
 elimination of the conflict of interest in the drawing of the financial reports. Moreover,
 further research should be carried out to investigate the moderating role of other variables on
 the relationship between Auditor General Audit report implementation practices and NG
 CDF performance.
Honouring Wounds and Healing Forward: Teacher Health in Relation to the COVID-19 Pandemic

description: Teacher health has been researched for decades, particularly with regards to teacher stress and burnout. The COVID-19 pandemic further amplified stress levels for many teachers around the world. The purpose of the research detailed in this dissertation was to gain understanding and meaning regarding the nuances of teachers’ experiences of health in relation to the pandemic as well as to identify what can be done to better support teachers moving forward. Additionally, this research recognized the teacher as an individual who plays many roles in their life, where interaction with systems result in circumstances that can influence health. The research question used to guide this inquiry was: How might we understand teachers’ experiences of health and wellness in relation to the pandemic? An interpretive approach that embraced reflexive thematic analysis was used to further understanding and meaning regarding teacher health, and to offer ideas and possible solutions to move forward. Furthermore, the researcher’s approach to inquiry involved a complexity thinking theoretical lens. One-on-one, conversational interviews were conducted with eight primary-level teachers from a large school board in western Canada, which offered an opportunity to thoroughly explore the nuances of teachers’ experiences of health. Data analysis was conducted using reflexive thematic analysis that involved working to identify patterns and what stood out in interviews through ongoing engagement with the data. The themes and interpretations that were realized from this work acknowledge that teachers are wounded, that they have been neglected, and that their health is affected by their interactions with systems and system levels specific to context, using Bronfenbrenner’s nested systems (1979) to support this understanding. Additionally, to heal teachers, coordinated and flexible trans-systematic care is required. Furthermore, teachers’ experiences and suffering need to be recognized and heard at all system levels as a first step towards effectively caring for teachers. It is proposed that to work to heal teachers’ wounds moving forward, multiple layers and levels of support and care are necessary for in-service teachers as well as pre-service teachers, as a proactive approach to supporting future teachers.
