description: In this article, the author makes an assessment of the law family in Albania following the evolution of the family concept in Albanian society. The author takes into analysis the relevant legislative acts concerning the family law that have been approved in Albania following the legal trend adopted by the legislator, starting by the traditional model of family based on the marriage, and gradually including other models of family that have emerged in the social life, not necessarily based on the marriage. In this article, the author highlights the existing relation between the family law and social conception of family, as the necessary basis in order to extend the protection and the guaranties provided by the law to other forms and model of family life. According to the author, the concept of family is related to the social relationships and preexists the creation of the state and its legal order. Therefore, the intervention of the state in family relationships should be considered a peculiar one, it should respect the autonomy of the organization and functioning of the family life and it should aim the voluntary cooperation and coordination between family members. The author makes a description of the sources of the Albanian family law, examining the evolution of the domestic family law legislation and social custom in Albania, as well as a description of the international law sources referring to the family law. She examines the legal status of international family law in Albania and, in order to compare its content withthe Albanian family law, the author makes an overall assessment, of the relevant topics in various systems of international law. She further examines in a detailed manner the status of art of the relevant jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights concerning family law cases. After that, the author makes a description of the European Union (EU) approach concerning family law, and finally she takes into examination a multilevel dialog between international courts regarding the exercise of family rights in Europe, emphasizing the complexity and the multilevel approach that even Albania judiciary is supposed to deal with in crescent global context.

description: The memory of the First World War has played a prominent role in Australian political culture. The Anzac legend, originating in the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, soon became the foundational narrative of an emerging nation. Despite profound changes in Australian society in the following century, "Anzac" continues to serve as a complex signifier of national identity. The centenary of the First World War seemingly affirmed the centrality of the First World War in the national memory of war, though whether commemoration fatigue and the disengagement in some sectors of multicultural Australia will unsettle this dominance remains to be seen.

Application of rhodium-catalyzed alkyne hydrothiolation to the syntheses of K777 and analogues : potential therapeutics for the treatment of Chagas' disease
Creators: name: Kiemele, Erica Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Chagas’ disease is a neglected global disease that affects millions of people in Latin America and has started to spread to different areas around the world. This disease is the leading cause of heart failure in Latin America and has many other symptoms including digestive track problems and myocardial damage. The causative organism of this disease is T. Cruzi, which is spread though an insect vector as well as human methods such as blood transfusions, organ donation and food contamination. Current drug therapies are not sufficient; they suffer from lengthy dosage duration and have many dangerous side effects. In the last two decades the organism’s cysteine protease, cruzain has become a desired target for inhibition. Many cysteine protease inhibitors have been studied in the last two decades with one potential therapeutic - K777, an irreversible cysteine protease inhibitor, having the most promise. K777 contains a potent vinyl sulfone warhead, which acts as a Michael-acceptor to the cysteine residue in the catalytic triad of cruzain. K777 is currently entering phase 1 clinical trials. The potent warheard vinyl sulfone in K777 is of interest to the laboratory of Dr. Jennifer Love due to our methodology for synthesizing vinyl sulfides. We proposed that we could synthesize K777 and a variety of analogues using our rhodium-catalyzed alkyne hydrothiolation method as the first application of this method in total synthesis. Here we present the total synthesis of K777 and analogues highlighting the wide substrate scope of our methodology.

description: Background: Needle thoracostomy (NT) remains the standard for prehospital treatment of tension pneumothorax, but its effectiveness has been questioned in previous literature. The incidence of NT and clinical characteristics of patients receiving NT for tension pneumothorax in a Canadian helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) setting have yet to be described. This lack of data leads to difficulty understanding who is at greatest risk for requiring NT, identifying factors that may be important to successful clinical outcomes, and implementing changes to practice. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of adult patients who received NT from a Canadian HEMS service and a case study was conducted to document the novel use of an endotracheal tube to perform an improvised tube thoracostomy in response to NT failure. Results: Only a small proportion (1.3%) of patients attended by the HEMS service received NT during their care. The study sample was predominantly male (77.0%), with an average age of 46.4 years, and a presenting complaint of blunt trauma. Logistic regression analysis revealed initial NT treatment was associated with a low likelihood of clinical improvement in patients presenting with blunt trauma (OR = 0.18; p = .021), receiving CPR prior to NT (OR = 0.14; p = .02), or in those who received bilateral NT treatment (OR = 0.13; p < .01). A pre-treatment BP < 90 mmHg was the sole variable which was predictive of a positive clinical response to initial NT (OR = 3.33; p = .04). The case study provided a descriptive account of the successful use of a simple thoracostomy in combination with endotracheal tube insertion into the thorax to relieve tension pneumothorax following the failure of standard NT treatment in the HEMS setting. Conclusions: Of the patients studied, those most likely to receive NT were males who had suffered blunt trauma. NT may have questionable benefit for patients presenting with blunt trauma, cardiac arrest, or requiring bilateral NT. NT may be insufficient to adequately treat tension pneumothorax, and simple thoracostomy with thoracic endotracheal tube insertion has been successfully used to treat tension pneumothorax refractory to standard prehospital treatment.

description: This article presents results obtained from the qualitative study conducted in the market of the headhunting industry in Albania. It examines the process of executive search and placement for a managerial role in a company. The aim of this study is to determine whether or not there is place for calling it a headhunting process, or this is just a term used by them for their usual recruitment activities. Out of nine executive search firms, five interviews served as the source of evidence and conclusions were drawn based on them. At the end, we can say that there are headhunters in Albania, but that further efforts are necessary in order to differentiate them from other forms of recruitment or to improve the quality of the process itself.

description: The long wavelength physics in a de Sitter region depends on the initial quantum state. While such long wavelength physics is under control for massive fields near the Hartle-Hawking vacuum state, such initial states make unnatural assumptions about initial data outside the region of causal contact of a local observer. We argue that a reasonable approximation to a maximum entropy state, one that makes minimal assumptions outside an observer's horizon volume, is one where a cutoff is placed on a surface bounded by timelike geodesics, just outside the horizon. For sufficiently early times, such a cutoff induces secular logarithmic divergences with the expansion of the region. For massive fields, these effects sum to finite corrections at sufficiently late times. The difference between the cutoff correlators and Hartle-Hawking correlators provides a measure of the theoretical uncertainty due to lack of knowledge of the initial state in causally disconnected regions. These differences are negligible for primordial inflation, but can become significant during epochs with very long-lived de Sitter regions, such as we may be entering now.

description: In this paper we compare the sensitivity of two imaging configurations both based on Laser Optical Feedback Imaging (LOFI). The first one is direct imaging, which uses conventional optical focalisation on target and the second one is made by Synthetic Aperture (SA) Laser, which uses numerical focalisation. We show that SA configuration allows to obtain good resolutions with high working distance and that the drawback of SA imagery is that it has a worse photometric balance in comparison to conventional microscope. This drawback is partially compensated by the important sensitivity of LOFI. Another interest of SA relies on the capacity of getting a 3D information in a single x-y scan.
Ground-state phases of ultracold bosons with Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling

description: We study ultracold bosons in three dimensions with an anisotropic Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. We first carry out the exact summation of ladder diagrams for the two-boson t-matrix at zero energy. Then, with the t-matrix as the effective interaction, we find the ground-state phase diagrams of bosons in mean field as a function of the spin-orbit coupling, the anisotropy, and the scattering lengths between particles in the same and in different pseudospin states. The resulting phase diagrams have much richer structures than those obtained using mean-field couplings, exhibiting three different phases: a plane-wave condensate, a striped condensate, and an unstable phase. The differences between the present approach using the t-matrix compared to using mean-field couplings is significant for large scattering lengths, large spin-orbit-coupling strength, or small anisotropy.

A Neopragmatist Approach To Entrepreneurship Research

subject: Business Administration--Management

description: This dissertation will use neopragmatist philosophy (particularly the work of Robert Brandom and Donald Davidson) to examine three important concepts in entrepreneurship theorizing: entrepreneurial uncertainty, venture ideas, and entrepreneurial opportunities. Neopragmatist philosophers typically understand meaning, objectivity, correct reasoning, and knowledge in terms of social-linguistic interpretive practices. Each of these concepts are perspectival in the sense that different people will interpret others as having a different view than themselves on what is actually objective etc.. According to neopragmatists we should analyse these concepts not by trying to identify any sort of criteria which distinguishes which perspectives are actually correct (e.g. what is actually known), but instead identify how these concepts are used when people try to interpret the perspectives of others in relation to their own. This dissolves many difficult ontological problems (e.g. realism vs constructivism). I will argue that the concepts ‘entrepreneurial uncertainty’, ‘venture ideas’, and ‘entrepreneurial opportunities’ are similarly perspectival and that a neopragmatist lens allows us to fruitfully understand them in terms of how we scholars use them when interpreting the perspectives of the entrepreneurs we are studying—who are in turn interpreting the perspectives of their stakeholders. In chapter two I will argue that Knightian uncertainty (understood as the inability to calculate probabilities) seems largely irrelevant to practicing entrepreneurs, and that we should reconceptualize and study entrepreneurial uncertainty as a lack of social justificatory resources. In chapter three I argue that instead of conceptualizing venture ideas as mental representations we should instead conceptualize them in terms of their role in social justificatory practices whereby entrepreneurs have to navigate how their perspectives diverge from their stakeholders. In Chapter four I argue that when an entrepreneurship scholars says that an entrepreneur pursues an opportunity they are not only claiming that the entrepreneur perceives the course of action as favourable, but are themselves taking a stand on its favourability relative to whatever theoretical lens they are using. The question “what are entrepreneurial opportunities” ceases to be an ontological debate and becomes instead a more fruitful debate about how we scholars can bring relevant theoretical insights to the perspectives of practicing entrepreneurs.
On being a “sama7” teacher : reflecting on colonization, white identity, relationships, and responsibility in Indigenous contexts
Creators: name: Liston, Vanessa Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Since the majority of teachers of Indigenous students in Canada are non-Indigenous, the current efforts to decolonize Canadian schools are largely dependent on these teachers’ understandings of Indigenous education, as well as their approaches and accountability to decolonization. As a white teacher of Indigenous students, this thesis represents critical self-study of a teacher’s role in decolonization in particular educational contexts. The research considers being a dominant-culture teacher with Indigenous students in terms of the teacher’s relationships, professional identity, and pedagogy. Further, this body of work inquires into the effects of (neo-)colonialism on the above, as well as on educational policy and curriculum in Indigenous contexts. Inasmuch as it is manuscript-based, the thesis reads differently from those written as single studies. Chapters Three and Four are essays based on my first and third-year teaching experiences in two distinct Indigenous communities, and each focus on different aspects of those locations and circumstances. For example, the third chapter is an analysis of the multi-levelled policy setting of a northern Québec school, and the fourth chapter employs a hermeneutical lens to examine my pilot of a culturally responsive curriculum in rural British Columbia. The introduction and literature review (Chapter Two) provide the context for both of these analyses, while the concluding chapter connects the two manuscripts with reference to current literature and my present teaching position. As a whole, my study offers an understanding of the challenges and responsibilities for dominant-culture teachers in decolonizing their classrooms and schools through policies, pedagogies, and relationships. While it does not address the entirety of the experience of being a dominant-culture educator and ally working with Indigenous students, it confronts and inquires into several pivotal and interrelated areas in teaching for social justice. In considering different aspects of my experiences, this study speaks to broader themes of (neo-)colonialism and decolonization, culturally responsive curricula and pedagogies, educational policy, and crosscultural relationships. Individually, these critical reflections on my practice have yielded intimate, yet significant portraits of teacher identity, and as a whole, they offer rich insights and multiple perspectives on some of the most pressing issues in educational politics today.

description: The Archives and Distinctive Collections at the College of the Holy Cross is in the second half of a two-year CLIR "Digitizing Hidden Collections" grant project to preserve and provide access to key components of the Deaf Catholic Archives (DCA). Ideally, digital content would be accessible through both the institutional repository as well as the archival finding aids. Wonder how we did it? The project utilized three systems (Digital Commons, ArchivesSpace and Google) to efficiently upload thousands of items to our repository and link them to their respective finding aids. This presentation will discuss how we worked to build the repository structures and then developed workflows to create and populate an online collection that allows multiple access points for a large, complex, and growing archive. As this work continues, the next phase of the grant will use another tool to create exhibits using our IR, thus facilitating additional access, promotion and outreach efforts. These efforts, as well as the creation of metadata and description, will intentionally include input from members of the Deaf community here at Holy Cross and in partnership with others. Our experience offers suggestions for how to build out a large collection with several structures that require different technical treatments. We have already begun adapting them for other digitization projects. Though we used specific platforms, this presentation will demonstrate how different applications can be harnessed for a large, long-term project.

description: Aims. We present photometric data of debris disks around HIP 103389 (HD 199260), HIP 107350 (HN Peg, HD206860), and HIP 114948 (HD 219482), obtained in the context of our Herschel Open Time Key Program DUNES (DUst around NEarby Stars). Methods. We used Herschel/PACS to detect the thermal emission of the three debris disks with a 3 sigma sensitivity of a few mJy at 100 um and 160 um. In addition, we obtained Herschel/PACS photometric data at 70 um for HIP 103389. Two different approaches are applied to reduce the Herschel data to investigate the impact of data reduction on the photometry. We fit analytical models to the available spectral energy distribution (SED) data. Results. The SEDs of the three disks potentially exhibit an unusually steep decrease at wavelengths > 70 um. We investigate the significance of the peculiar shape of these SEDs and the impact on models of the disks provided it is real. Our modeling reveals that such a steep decrease of the SEDs in the long wavelength regime is inconsistent with a power-law exponent of the grain size distribution -3.5 expected from a standard equilibrium collisional cascade. In contrast, a very distinct range of grain sizes is implied to dominate the thermal emission of such disks. However, we demonstrate that the understanding of the data of faint sources obtained with Herschel is still incomplete and that the significance of our results depends on the version of the data reduction pipeline used. Conclusions. A new mechanism to produce the dust in the presented debris disks, deviations from the conditions required for a standard equilibrium collisional cascade (grain size exponent of -3.5), and/or significantly different dust properties would be necessary to explain the potentially steep SED shape of the three debris disks presented.

description: We find novel phase transitions and critical phenomena that occur only outside the linear-response regime of current-driven nonequilibrium states. We consider the strongly-interacting (3+1)-dimensional N=4 large-Nc SU(Nc) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a single flavor of fundamental N=2 hypermultiplet as a microscopic theory. We compute its nonlinear non-ballistic quark-charge conductivity by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that the system exhibits a novel nonequilibrium first-order phase transition where the conductivity jumps and the sign of the differential conductivity flips at finite current density. A nonequilibrium critical point is discovered at the end point of the first-order regime. We propose a nonequilibrium steady-state analogue of thermodynamic potential in terms of the gravity-dual theory in order to define the transition point. Nonequilibrium analogues of critical exponents are proposed as well. The critical behavior of the conductivity is numerically confirmed on the basis of these proposals. The present work provides a new example of nonequilibrium phase transitions and nonequilibrium critical points.

description: The ACA Spectrometer (ACASPEC) is a new spectrometer developed for science observations on the Total Power Array (TP Array) in the Atacama Compact Array (ACA). Led by KASI in collaboration with NAOJ, the ACASPEC replaces the functionality of the ACA Correlator (ACACORR) for the TP array. It utilizes general-purpose graphics processing units (GP-GPUs) to process signals in software. The ACASPEC enables independent operation of the TP Array, bringing improved observing efficiency, higher spectral dynamic range, and expandability for the upcoming Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade. Installed in February 2022 at ALMA Array Operations Site, ACASPEC achieved the first light, confirming that all the signal paths from the antennas to the archive were well-connected and processed. Following that, commissioning and science verification (CSV) activities were conducted. Consistency between the ACASPEC and the ACACORR was verified for various spectral setup parameters, the Jy/K conversion factor, and spectral shapes and intensity of emission lines. The spectral dynamic range better than 10000 has been confirmed using the CO line. In addition, the ACASPEC showed enough performance for calibration observations, such as pointing and focus using the cross-correlation products. Finally, end-to-end testing was conducted to verify all processes of TP observations, including connections with other ALMA subsystems. Data processing by the CASA Single-Dish pipeline worked properly for the ACASPEC data in standard On-the-fly mapping and TP spectral scan modes. Detailed comparisons for intensity using data cubes taken by the ACASPEC and the ACACORR also showed good agreement, with more than 85% of data points matching within 20% for both data sets. Following this success of the CSV testing, the ACASPEC will be offered to ALMA science operations in Cycle 10. In this poster, we will present the development of the ACASPEC system and the CSV results.

description: The paper contains lower bounds on the counting function of the positive eigenvalues of the interior transmission problem when the latter is elliptic. In particular, these bounds justify the existence of an infinite set of interior transmission eigenvalues and provide asymptotic estimates from above on the counting function for the large values of the wave number. They also lead to certain important upper estimates on the first few interior transmission eigenvalues. We consider the classical transmission problem as well as the case when the inhomogeneous medium contains an obstacle.

The Onset of the East Asian Financial Crisis

description: This paper provides an early diagnosis of the financial crisis in Asia, focussing on the empirical record in the lead-up to the crisis. The main goal is to emphasize the role of financial panic as an essential element of the Asian crisis. At the core of the crisis were large-scale foreign capital inflows into financial systems that became vulnerable to panic. The paper finds that while there were significant underlying problems and weak fundamentals besetting the Asian economies at both a macroeconomic and microeconomic level, the imbalances were not severe enough to warrant a financial crisis of the magnitude that took place in the latter half of 1997. A combination of panic on the part of the international investment community, policy mistakes at the onset of the crisis by Asian governments, and poorly designed international rescue programs turned the withdrawal of foreign capital into a full-fledged financial panic, and deepened the crisis more than was either necessary or inevitable.

description: Ceramic dielectrics with particularly low levels of dielectric loss and low permittivity are of growing interest toward millimeter-wave applications. Based on composition and structural considerations, lithic kosmochlor is expected to meet these requirements while exhibiting low densification temperatures, allowing its integration also in co-fired circuits. Herein, it is found that the spark plasma sintering of LiCrSi2O6 ceramics facilitates densification at temperatures more than 200 °C lower than conventionally processed materials in only a fraction of the time. A spark plasma sintering duration of 10 min is necessary in order to achieve a controllable process with a repeatable high-performance product material exhibiting a fine-grained microstructure. Characterization millimeter-wave frequencies reveal that LiCrSi2O6 materials produced in this manner exhibit excellent dielectric properties (Qf = 80 700 GHz and εr = 7.5 at 134.24 GHz) following densification at only 950 °C with a relative density of 97.4%. These results represent an unprecedented combination of low dielectric losses and processing temperatures for ceramics processed without the addition of sintering aids. The materials and methods explored here present a promising pathway toward high-performance millimeter-wave and co-firable systems.

Latin Americans

description: A simple application of big-push reasoning suggests that natural resource booms can be important catalysts for development in poorer countries. In this paper we present evidence from seven Latin American countries that natural resource booms are sometimes accompanied by declining per-capita GDP. We present a model with natural resources, increasing returns in the spirit of big push models, and expectations to clarify some of the reasons this may happen.

description: We report broad-band Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the field of soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 0418+5729 with ACS/WFC and WFC3/IR. Observing in two wide filters F606W and F110W, we find no counterpart within the positional error circle derived from Chandra observations, to limiting magnitudes mF606W>28.6, mF110W>27.4 (Vega system), equivalent to reddening-corrected luminosity limits LF606W<5e28, LF110W<6e28 erg s-1 for a distance d=2 kpc, at 3sig confidence. This, in turn, imposes lower limits on the contemporaneous X-ray/optical flux ratio of 1100 and X-ray/near-infra-red flux ratio of 1000. We derive an upper limit on the temperature and/or size of any fall-back disk around the magnetar. We also compare the detection limits with observations of other magnetars.

description: In 1914, quick-firing field artillery could fire more shells than domestic industries, geared to peacetime consumption levels, could supply. Armies, although recognizing the dangers, had underestimated them. By late autumn they were having to limit the number of shells each gun was permitted to fire each day. Industry’s conversion to wartime production would not be complete until 1916, and in 1915 the shells crisis had political consequences for most belligerents.

Knowledge economy discourses and language regulation : an analysis of policy processes in adult English language education in Canada
Creators: name: Gibb, Tara Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis examines the policy processes, social and power relations, and textual practices that have come to regulate English language education and assessment of internationally educated professionals (IEPs) who immigrate to Canada. During migration and settlement processes, IEPs whose first language is not English undergo assessment of their English language abilities before they can begin practicing in their professional field. Within discourses of building a global knowledge economy, where knowledge workers move across national borders and are expected to demonstrate English language proficiency, variation in communicating in English is constructed as a problem. Different ways of speaking English can become a barrier to labour market integration for IEPs. The Canadian government’s policy response to this problem has been the development of a competency-based language framework to regulate and standardize the assessment of immigrants’ English language proficiency. This study analyzes the tensions and struggles involved in standardizing and regulating the English language and its assessment in relation to knowledge economy discourses. Employing Dorothy E. Smith’s (2005) institutional ethnography, key reports and policy documents (e.g. The Canadian Language Benchmarks) were analyzed. The study then explored the experiences of language experts (the researchers/consultants, teachers, and provincial government administrators) who are responsible for profiling the English language demands of various professions (e.g. nursing, engineering, accounting) for the development and implementation of profession-specific language exams and programs. The study documented competing interests and conflicting worldviews on the purposes and processes of English language assessment. It also analyzed how textual practices were informed by knowledge economy discourses. The findings contribute to existing research on foreign credential recognition by demonstrating how the power relations and dominant discourses embedded in policy processes of language assessment significantly contribute to the (non)-recognition of IEPs’ professional knowledge and skills. The study also contributes to the limited research on the CLB by focusing on the labour market integration of IEPs in relation to knowledge economy discourses. Finally, the findings contribute to theoretical and empirical research in which language is understood as a social practice, drawing attention to the problematic of standardizing language and assessment practices in work and professional contexts.
