(Figures 5B)
 Material examined. Matua Island, Point Kluv, 14 m, two colonies (#408, 416).
 Remarks. The material is represented by two small colonies, each containing few zooids (Figure 5B). Similar colonies sometimes occur on Commander Islands and Kamchatka (e.g. see Sanamyan & Sanamyan, 2015). They most closely resemble Japan species Distaplia dubia (Oka, 1927). At our disposal are numerous specimens of D. dubia collected in vicinity of Valdivostok. Some of these colonies look exactly as figured by Nishikawa (1990, Figure 9) and certainly belong to this species. However we are not sure if colonies from more northern localities (central Kuril Islands, Kamchatka and Commander Islands) belong to the same species. The species is "featureless" and we still have no enough material to reveal its taxonomic status.

Therapeutic genome editing for the treatment of genetic diseases : testing the safety and effectiveness of CRISPR/Cas9 therapeutic base editing
Creators: name: Carlaw, Tiffany Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: There are currently no effective treatments for 95% of the over 7,000 known genetic diseases [1, 2]. The use of CRISPR/Cas9 has recently emerged as a powerful approach to directly repair disease-causing mutations [3-8]. The goal of this project was to optimize a novel CRISPR/Cas9 ‘base editing’ approach to treat genetic diseases by specifically repairing the disease-causing mutation in situ in the patients’ DNA. This technology uses a fusion of a partially deactivated Cas9 (nCas9) protein coupled with a nucleotide modifying enzyme to achieve 15-30% editing, and in some cases up to 75% editing in vitro [9-13]. Two-thirds of all genetic diseases are caused by point mutations [1] and base editors have now been developed that can target more than 68% of all disease-causing point mutations [8]. Despite the growing potential of base editing, limitations in the ability to quantify gene editing quickly and precisely have resulted in a lack of robust high throughput studies to compare and optimize base editors. We hypothesized that developing base editor reporter model systems would enable us to efficiently test and optimize the safety and effectiveness of base editing. To this end, we successfully developed both in vitro and in vivo reporter models and utilized these models to test the safety, delivery, and effectiveness of base editing. This series of novel model systems address a critical gap in the field of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Using these, we were able to significantly increase the efficiency of base editing in vitro. We were also able to compare the safety of different base editors using a new application of my in vitro reporter model. We also demonstrated the therapeutic feasibility of our base editing approach in vitro to repair three prevalent mutations that cause a debilitating genetic disease: Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency. Lastly, using the in vivo reporter model, we were able to demonstrate sustained correction and efficient delivery of base editors using lipid nanoparticles. Overall, these experiments have demonstrated critical steps towards the implementation of new treatment options for patients with a wide variety of genetic diseases.

Method development for improving the performance of bottom-up proteomics
Creators: name: Yin, Xianzhe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Bottom-up proteomics characterizes proteins from the analysis of peptides released from proteolysis. In this process, proteins are digested, and the mass spectrometry (MS) information acquired from the resulting peptides is used to infer the identity and quantity of the proteins. Various methodologies have been established for the bottom-up approach to achieve high-throughput analysis of proteins. However, the performance of bottom-up proteomics, such as protein coverage, reproducibility, and efficiency still needs to be improved by modifying the existing methods. Chapter 1 provided a general introduction to the field of proteomics and the main techniques used in this thesis. In Chapter 2, seven lysis protocols were compared and three of them were selected as best for global proteomics since they had more proteins detected, with less variation. The selected protocols could increase protein coverage and reproducibility in future studies. Chapter 3 introduced one of the limitations that the data-dependant acquisition (DDA) mode has. Although DDA is widely used in proteomics, the abundance-dependent sampling of DDA often leads to the irreproducible or non-detection of low-abundance peptides. In this chapter, a method termed Isobaric Peptide Doping (isoDoping), which utilizes synthesized peptides in conjugation with tandem mass tags (TMT) was developed to improve the detection of targeted low-abundance peptides within a large-scale global proteomics experiment. In Chapter 4, four different methods were compared to characterize the surfaceome of multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Among the methods, global proteome profiling was demonstrated promising for MM since it had low sample consumption, more identified membrane proteins, and the ability to compare the protein expression between MM cells and negative controls. The method could help to find potential therapeutic targets for the MM. In Chapter 5, a method was established to estimate the overall peptide concentration by using a quality control (QC) run after the peptide extraction and before the TMT labeling. The method could improve the normalization of sample amounts for a TMT-based global proteome profiling experiment, thus improving the quantification accuracy.

description: In this paper we study a basic model of economic growth where we integrate
a zero-dimensional energy balance model of the Earth. The albedo of the Earth
is the piecewise smooth function of the average surface temperature, thus, taking
into account possible feedback effects of a higher temperature. The analysis of
the model shows that the model with a jump in the albedo has either a unique
regular steady-state or two regular steady-states. When the albedo is described by
a piece-wise linear function there exists a non-degenerate pseudo-equilibrium where
the temperature stabilizes at the upper switching point of albedo increase with a
strictly positive level of consumption.

description: This project started in October 2015 with a crazy idea : prepare and submit a funding application for an international, multidisciplinary and non-traditional scientific outreach project… within the next 48 hours. Well, it worked out. A group of highly motivated young researchers from Canada and Europe united to combine arts and science and produce a series of outreach comic strips about permafrost (frozen ground). The aim of the project is to present and explain scientific research conducted across the circumpolar Arctic, placing emphasis on field work and the rapidly changing northern environment. The target audience is kids, youth, parents and teachers, with the general goal of making permafrost science more fun and accessible to the public. Because guess what : permafrost represents an area of more than twenty million km2 in the Northern Hemisphere, a huge area. As the climate warms, permafrost thaws and becomes unstable for houses, roads and airports. This rapid thawing of previously frozen ground also disrupts plant and animal habitats, impacts water quality and the ecology of lakes, and releases carbon into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases, making climate change even stronger. Hence permafrost and its response to climate change concerns us all. The project received initial support from the International Permafrost Association (IPA) as a targeted ‘Action Group’, and since then several other sponsors have joined the project. Here we are, now, two years after this first idea. What you are about to read is the result of an iterative process of exchanging ideas between artists and scientists. We first made an application call and received 49 applications from artists in 16 countries. Through a formal review process, we then selected two artists to work on this project: Noémie Ross from Canada, and Heta Nääs from Finland. With input from scientists, Noémie and Heta created fantastic cartoons that explain some of the changes happening to the environment in permafrost areas, how they affect people and wildlife, and what scientists are doing to better understand these changes to help people find innovative ways to adapt. We wish everyone plenty of fun reading this booklet and we would like to thank all those who supported this project.
The Peeliverse : Jordan Peele and his transmedia storyworld
Creators: name: Sheppard, Katie Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines Jordan Peele as the creator of a transmedial story-world that is built both via the connections between his films and the various paratextual materials that surround them. These, I argue are not extraneous adjuncts to the films but a crucial part of the overall story-world itself that take on lives of their own. Embedded within my analysis of Peele’s work is both the socio-political critiques at the centre of each film and the curation of Peele’s image. As part of this attentiveness to the wider world of film, I argue that Peele sidesteps the usual pitfalls of Hollywood cinema and production to build a company that champions diversity and collaboration within the film industry. Moreover, using Alessandra Raengo’s critical framework of the representational shadow paradigm, I argue that the public image that Peele curates allows him to bolster the representation of Black and non-Black marginalised voices within the film industry without conforming to the indexing of Black cinema as mirror-image or self-portraiture.

description: The Erongo complex is the largest of the Cretaceous igneous complexes in the Damaraland, Southern Etendeka Province, Namibia. Erongo is made up of a series of mainly silicic volcanic and intrusive units, like many of the Damaraland complexes, but it is unique by virtue of its size and well-preserved igneous sequence silicic magmas as well as tholeiitic and alkaline basalts.The goals of this study were to determine the ages and petrogenetic relationships of the silicic and basic units in the Erongo complex, and to contribute to understanding the magmatic evolution of the Damaraland province. As part of this investigation, Os isotope compositions were determined on basic rocks from the complex, and this is the first study of Os isotopes in the Etendeka Province.

Τα Λεγραινά αποτελούν μία κατοικημένη περιοχή  με έντονο το στοιχείο της υπαίθρου, αραιή δόμηση, δίχως την ύπαρξη κέντρου. Η εργασία στοχεύει στη δημιουργία ενός πόλου έλξης, ο οποίος θα απευθύνεται τόσο στην τοπική κοινωνία, όσο και σε επισκέπτες. Η σύγχρονη παραθεριστική πρόταση εστιάζει στη δημιουργία ενός πολυκυτταρικού συστήματος που θα προσφέρει τη δυνατότητα διαμονής, σε συνδυασμό με ποικίλες κοινόχρηστες χρήσεις, προκειμένου οι κάτοικοι της περιοχής και οι παραθεριστές να περνούν δημιουργικά το χρόνο τους παράλληλα με τις καλοκαιρινές τους διακοπές. Τα παραπάνω ενισχύονται με το σχεδιασμό παραθεριστικών κατοικιών για αυτούς που επιθυμούν να περάσουν μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα στο συγκρότημα, το σχεδιασμό δωματίων για καλοκαιρινούς ταξιδιώτες μικρότερης διάρκειας διαμονής και το σχεδιασμό μονάδων που θα φιλοξενούν χρήσεις εξυπηρέτησης των παραθεριστών και των κατοίκων τόσο του οικισμού, όσο και της ευρύτερης περιοχής. Στο προτεινόμενο παραθεριστικό μοντέλο σημαντικό ρόλο κατέχει η εναρμόνιση με το τοπίο. Με βλέμμα προς τη θάλασσα προτείνονται κτίσματα μεσαίας κλίμακας, τα οποία συνδυάζονται μεταξύ τους και δημιουργούν ένα πορώδες σύστημα από διαμορφωμένους υπαίθριους και ημιυπαίθριους χώρους. Η διαμόρφωση των ελεύθερων χώρων σε συνδυασμό με τις δραστηριότητες που λαμβάνουν χώρα, τόσο στους όγκους, όσο και στη φύση δημιουργούν έναν τόπο ζωής δίπλα στην παραλία. Διαδρομές μεταβλητού πλάτους ανάμεσα σε κήπους και δένδρα οργανώνουν τις κινήσεις των επισκεπτών και οδηγούν στις παραθεριστικές κατοικίες, στα δωμάτια φιλοξενίας και στους πολλαπλούς χώρους κοινωνικής συνεύρεσης.

POST BURN PRURITUS RELIEF PROTOCOL
Creators: name: Kim, Yeon Sook
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Post burn pruritus is pervasive, occurring in over 90% of burn patients. Moreover, post burn pruritus continues in greater than 40% of patients for years even after burn wounds are healed. Post burn pruritus is a syndrome of stressful symptoms experienced by burn survivors that requires medical management with effective interventions. Unfortunately, many burn patients suffer from pruritus-related post burn injury regardless of current standard therapies. Therefore, in this Doctor of Nursing Practice project, published evidence including studies/reviews of post burn pruritus relief served as a basis for development of an advanced practice nurse (APN)-driven post burn pruritus relief protocol. A systematic review was conducted and relevant empiric articles from September 1, 2013 to November 17, 2014 were critically appraised. Initially, 79 articles were found; 38 articles were selected using pre-established inclusion criteria. Two frameworks were used to guide this project. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model was applied for the literature review and the Rosswurm and Larrabee’s model for evidence-based practice change was used for clinical application. The newly developed APN driven post burn pruritus protocol is driven by burn healing phase (pre-healing, healing, post-healing), and emphasizes non-pharmacological interventions; it includes both non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods specifically intended for reducing burn associated pruritus.
Sovereign futures : indigenous and settler prophecies in two nineteenth-century American “northwests”
Creators: name: Jelsing, Kaden Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation argues that settler colonialism unfolded in various North American Wests through a clash of prophetic visions, each of which expressed fundamentally different modes of relationality. Through two case studies—the “Old Northwest” of the early nineteenth-century Ohio Valley, and the “new” Northwest of the Columbia Plateau region later in the century—I explore how Indigenous prophecies and settler prophecies articulated divergent visions of the future in language that was declarative, often couched in future perfect tense: what will have come to be. Scholars have long framed Indigenous prophetic movements as either religious or political, traditionalist or innovative, as autochthonous or existing only in reaction to contact and colonialism. I move beyond these binary formations by reframing Indigenous prophecy through Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies. Through these frameworks, Indigenous prophecy can be seen as a diagnostic tool, a theoretical and critical apparatus, and a guide for either maintaining or refusing relations with humans and other-than-human beings. Accompanied by new prescriptions and ceremonies on how to live properly with other beings and thus renew a world of interdependent relationships, Indigenous prophecy may be seen as simultaneously legal, political, and religious even as it resists these categories. It is oriented toward a future on and with the land against, or despite, the presence of settler colonial jurisdictional claims. For their part, settlers prophesied a future free from vulnerability and dependences, of technological perfection and environmental mastery. For this future to come to pass, the interdependent relations carefully forged by generations of Indigenous communities on and with the land had to be severed and reoriented toward an ever-expanding market. Settlers confidently proclaimed the immanent fulfillment of a “manifest destiny,” yet they simultaneously expressed anxiety when a future of technological progress, flourishing republican institutions, market connectivity and private land ownership seemed compromised. Settler prophecy was always in reaction to the continued presence of Indigenous peoples who professed their own temporal sovereignty. With the constant specter of Indigenous endurance, settler future imaginaries have always been fragile and doomed to fail.

RECOMMENDATION FOR CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS TO PERFORM PERIPHERAL NERVE BLOCKS
Creators: name: Arellano, Joseph M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Currently at one Southern California medical center, of the over 2500 annual surgical cases where a peripheral nerve block (PNB) might be appropriate, less than 50 PNBs were done. Patients with ultrasound-guided PNBs report increased satisfaction secondary to better pain relief, fewer systemic complications, and faster recoveries as compared to other anesthetic techniques. Only anesthesiologists administer regional anesthesia at this facility; additional patients could benefit from PNBs due to the safety of this anesthesia type and its post-surgical potential for improved pain management. Adopting a credentialing process for CRNAs to provide PNBs will improve access to this type of anesthesia. Current literature and best practice evidence for CRNA administration of regional anesthesia were reviewed for this Doctor of Nursing Practice project and a policy for a credentialing/privileging process was developed. The literature indicated that graduates of accredited schools of anesthesia who successfully pass the National Certification Examination are qualified, entry-level practitioners capable of administering regional anesthesia. Ultrasound reduces the learning curves of novice providers, significantly improves provider proficiency, and could be used in a credentialing/privileging process. To improve patient access to PNBs, recommendations for implementing and evaluating a CRNA privileging process for PNB administration include: (a) establishing a pilot program to re-educate CRNAs in PNB administration supervised by regional anesthesia experts, (b) adopting standardized procedure guidelines outlining required competencies prior to privileging, and (c) evaluating the pilot program iv by reviewing provider competence, assessing patient satisfaction at 24-hour postsurgical follow-up, and reassessing if sufficient PNB cases exist to maintain privileged provider competency.

description: Excerpts from the report: This supplement to "The American Cotton Bale Package and Our Foreign Markets" (AMS-386) is the second and final report resulting from an extensive study relating to the package and surface condition of U. S. cotton bales received in some of the major foreign markets. It provides an important amount of material, most of which was either not ready for release or not available at the time the earlier report was published. The new data should be of major use to those especially interested in helping reduce the deficiencies in the U. S. bale. The additional and final information given here in no way alters the conclusions and recommendations in the preceding summary report. The few differences between the specific findings as previously indicated and as appearing herein are such that for practical purposes they can be ignored. It is strongly recommended that further concerted efforts be made to improve U. S. export bales. Five things which should be given immediate attention are: (a) Keep bale heads covered by using an adequate length of bagging and tucking the ends under the outer bands each time the bale is pressed; (b) use close-weave bagging on all bales; (c) patch both sides of all bales sampled three or more times prior to high-density compression; (d) review each operation and take additional appropriate precautions in sampling, handling, storing, and transporting U. S. bales to prevent surface contamination and damage; and (e) explore the possibility of bringing about improvements in the method of sampling U. S. cotton in foreign ports.

Key steps to starting, maintaining and replicating a work group
All the tools you'll need
Some tips and tricks!

Partnering for Change work groups are about rural and urban businesses sharing responsibility for the changes that need to be made to reduce our impact on the environment.
By working in small groups, rural and urban businesses can better understand each other, their sustainability efforts, and their motives and barriers to practice change.

Based on a pilot conducted in 2022 with four rural and four urban business from across Aotearoa, we found this approach can:
Give businesses "new to them" concepts which inform sustainability thinking and planning.
Help businesses better understand the value of approaching sustainability as a diverse group.
Allow businesses to learn from each other to increase awareness and knowledge, and create mutual understandings and respect by connecting over a shared vision in a supportive environment.
Make rural businesses feel more connected to others outside of the rural sector, resulting in them feeling less alone and lowering the pressure to reduce their environmental impact.
Increase urban businesses support of farmers and growers

INTEGRATING CARE IN A COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER: A CASE STUDY
Creators: name: McDermott, Kathleen Mary
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Historically, treatment for serious mental illness (SMI) has been separated from the rest of medicine resulting in gaps in medical care, redundant care, and increased costs. To address the healthcare needs of those with SMI, primary care services are now being embedded in and connected to community mental health centers (CMHCs). The purpose of this project was to describe and analyze the system changes that occurred in a nationally recognized CMHC’s grant-funded initiatives to integrate primary and behavioral healthcare into its repertoire of services for persons with SMI. Grant outcomes included increasing the number of persons with SMI who were connected with a primary care provider (PCP) in the local community and those who have active insurance. These outcomes were successful, as nearly three-quarters of the previously uninsured members became connected with public insurance, and 122 members were connected with a community PCP. Other deliverables designed to increase the level of integration at the CMHC encountered barriers, such as staff resistance, EHR challenges, philosophical differences, and the need for program re-design and highlighted the lack of coordination between agencies. This case study suggests that efforts to provide integrated care in a CMHC may necessitate an organizational culture shift that includes the active, cohesive, and clear support of leadership. In addition, strong theoretical underpinnings are necessary to support the change. Prochaska and DiClemente’s stages of change (1982) and Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations (1962) are examples of theories that can help organizations to successfully adapt to a fully integrated care system.

EVALUATION OF LATENT TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION SCREENING IN THE FIELD
Creators: name: Morales-Meyer, Gema
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Hypertension (HTN) rates in Chinese Americans are as high as that of the general population. Non-adherence to medication and the need for life modifications challenge providers and patients in HTN management. With the goal of increased adherence to treatment regimens, a culturally sensitive communication script was developed for healthcare providers. A qualitative design was adopted to collect content for the communication script. The bilingual investigator interviewed eight Chinese patients and seven healthcare providers. The interview data revealed barriers to HTN treatment adherence: initial mistrust of the health care system and health care providers, reliance on the use of traditional Chinese medicine and natural remedies, apprehension about adverse effects of Western medications, the influence of traditional Chinese proverbs and sayings, cultural characteristics of conforming to norms, and beliefs of stress and burden of livelihood as a cause for HTN. A trusting provider-patient relationship, with the adoption of identified motivating factors such as the patient’s responsibilities for family and negative consequences from uncontrolled HTN, help to increase patient adherence to the medication plan. Study implications include communication between providers and patients that include the patient’s health beliefs and disease management preferences in addition to delivering pathophysiological facts and information about medication treatment of HTN. Using the culturally sensitive communication script developed for this project may help providers to motivate Chinese American patients to adopt healthy behaviors in HTN management.

Pulsed photothermal therapy as a precondition for immune checkpoint blockade
Creators: name: Farivar, Negin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Photothermal therapy (PTT) refers to the use of photothermal agents (plasmonic nanoparticles) to convert electromagnetic radiation in the near infrared region (NIR) to heat and kill the target (tumor) cells. Due to the high efficacy and minimal side effects, this therapy has been studied extensively in recent years and gained significant clinical traction. In addition to cell death, PTT can be used to induce mild hyperthermia in temperatures between 39-45°C, which can trigger certain physiological responses like immune stimulation and cytokine secretion. This immune response can be reinforced in combination with cancer immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint blockade. Although research has demonstrated that pulsed lasers generate more localized heating than continuous wave (CW) lasers, PTT is traditionally administered by CW lasers, and there is a limited amount of research employing pulsed laser equipment. Using the conventional low power CW laser settings requires long treatment times, induces unwanted heat damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, and leads to higher pain sensation in patients; all limiting parameters in clinical translation of PTT. I hypothesized that a novel pulsed laser device could produce a photothermal effect sufficient to stimulate immune cells within the tumor microenvironment and potentially augment the effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Here, we report the engineering and validation of a novel long pulsed laser device able to induce selective and localized mild hyperthermia in tumors while reducing the heat affected zone and unwanted damage to surrounding tissue. Long-pulsed PTT induces acute necrotic cell death in heat affected areas and the release of tumor associated antigens. This antigen release is immunostimulatory and triggers maturation and stimulation of CD80/CD86 in dendritic cells in vivo. In vivo antitumor studies in a MB49 syngeneic bladder cancer model led to significantly reduced tumor growth and increased survival indicating long-pulse PTT can be an effective and promising strategy to enhanced therapeutic responses when combined with anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors.
RECOMMENDATION FOR CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS TO PERFORM PERIPHERAL NERVE BLOCKS
Creators: name: Arellano, Joseph M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Currently at one Southern California medical center, of the over 2500 annual surgical cases where a peripheral nerve block (PNB) might be appropriate, less than 50 PNBs were done. Patients with ultrasound-guided PNBs report increased satisfaction secondary to better pain relief, fewer systemic complications, and faster recoveries as compared to other anesthetic techniques. Only anesthesiologists administer regional anesthesia at this facility; additional patients could benefit from PNBs due to the safety of this anesthesia type and its post-surgical potential for improved pain management. Adopting a credentialing process for CRNAs to provide PNBs will improve access to this type of anesthesia. Current literature and best practice evidence for CRNA administration of regional anesthesia were reviewed for this Doctor of Nursing Practice project and a policy for a credentialing/privileging process was developed. The literature indicated that graduates of accredited schools of anesthesia who successfully pass the National Certification Examination are qualified, entry-level practitioners capable of administering regional anesthesia. Ultrasound reduces the learning curves of novice providers, significantly improves provider proficiency, and could be used in a credentialing/privileging process. To improve patient access to PNBs, recommendations for implementing and evaluating a CRNA privileging process for PNB administration include: (a) establishing a pilot program to re-educate CRNAs in PNB administration supervised by regional anesthesia experts, (b) adopting standardized procedure guidelines outlining required competencies prior to privileging, and (c) evaluating the pilot program by reviewing provider competence, assessing patient satisfaction at 24-hour postsurgical follow-up, and reassessing if sufficient PNB cases exist to maintain privileged provider competency
