description: Silna i trwała identyfikacja płciowa połączona z udowodnionym utrzymywaniem się dyskomfortu w związku z przypisaną płcią może występować u dzieci i młodzieży. Publiczne i profesjonalne poglądy na transpłciowość ewoluowały od przekonania w latach 60. XX wieku, że zjawisko jest rzadką psychopatologią, do obecnego przekonania, że to zrozumiała odmiana ludzkiej biologii, która nie jest rzadkością. Wiele osób cierpi z powodu dyskryminacji, gdy decyduje się na pełnienie ról, które nie są zgodne ze stereotypami społecznymi dotyczącymi odpowiednich funkcji męskich i żeńskich. Przepisy dotyczące dyskryminacji ze względu na płeć nie obejmują dyskryminacji opartej na stereotypach dotyczących roli płciowej. Osoby transpłciowe stoją w obliczu wyzwań społecznych takich jak piętno, jawna dyskryminacja i molestowanie, często mają trudności z pogodzeniem swoich tożsamości z normami ich rodzin i społeczności. Ponadto są narażone na wyzwania wynikające z marginalizacji w sposób, który może mieć negatywny wpływ na ich zdrowie. Celem artykułu jest scharakteryzowanie praktyk stosowanych wobec dzieci i młodzieży transpłciowej.

description: The TWIST collaboration has performed new measurements of two of the parameters that describe muon decay: $ρ$, which governs the shape of the overall momentum spectrum, and $δ$, which governs the momentum dependence of the parity-violating decay asymmetry. This analysis gives the results $ρ=0.75014\pm 0.00017(\text{stat})\pm 0.00044(\text{syst})\pm 0.00011(η)$, where the last uncertainty arises from the correlation between $ρ$ and the decay parameter $η$, and $δ= 0.75067\pm 0.00030(\text{stat})\pm 0.00067(\text{syst})$. These are consistent with the value of 3/4 given for both parameters in the Standard Model of particle physics, and are a factor of two more precise than the measurements previously published by TWIST. A new global analysis of all available muon decay data incorporating these results is presented. Improved lower and upper limits on the decay parameter $P_μ^πξ$ of $0.99524 < P_μ^πξ\leq ξ< 1.00091$ at 90% confidence are determined, where $P_μ^π$ is the polarization of the muon when it is created during pion decay, and $ξ$ governs the muon decay asymmetry. These results set new model-independent constraints on the possible weak interactions of right-handed particles. Specific implications for left-right symmetric models are discussed.

description: Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) coupled with electrons would be produced in a Supernova (SN) via electron-proton bremsstrahlung and electron-positron fusion. We evaluate the ALP emissivity from these processes by taking into account the ALP mass and thermal effects on electrons in the strongly degenerate and relativistic SN plasma. Using a state-of-the-art SN simulation, we evaluate the SN 1987A cooling bound on ALPs for masses in the range $1-200$ MeV, which excludes currently unprobed regions down to $g_{ae}\sim 2.5\times 10^{-10}$ at $m_a\sim 120$ MeV.

description: This paper studies a specific metric on plane curves that has the property of being isometric to classical manifold (sphere, complex projective, Stiefel, Grassmann) modulo change of parametrization, each of these classical manifolds being associated to specific qualifications of the space of curves (closed-open, modulo rotation etc...) Using these isometries, we are able to explicitely describe the geodesics, first in the parametric case, then by modding out the paremetrization and considering horizontal vectors. We also compute the sectional curvature for these spaces, and show, in particular, that the space of closed curves modulo rotation and change of parameter has positive curvature. Experimental results that explicitly compute minimizing geodesics between two closed curves are finally provided

description: In this study, the authors consider the problem of exchanging secrete messages in cyber-physical systems (CPSs) without resorting to cryptographic solutions. In particular, they consider a CPS where the networked controller wants to send a secrete message to the plant. They show that such a problem can be solved by exploiting a Wyner wiretap-like encoding scheme taking advantage of the closed-loop operations typical of feedback control systems. Specifically, by resorting to the control concept of one-step reachable sets, they first show that a wiretap-like encoding scheme exists whenever there is an asymmetry in the plant model knowledge available to control system (the defender) and to the eavesdropper. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is confirmed by means of a numerical example. Finally, they conclude the study by presenting open design challenges that can be addressed by the research community to improve, in different directions, the secrete message exchange problem in CPSs

description: We undertake a phenomenological study of the extra neutral Z' boson in the Minimal Quiver Standard Model and discuss limits on the model's parameters from previous precision electroweak experiments, as well as detection prospects at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. We find that masses lower than around 700 GeV are excluded by the $Z$-pole data from the CERN-LEP collider, and below 620 GeV by experimental data from di-electron events at the Fermilab-Tevatron collider. We also find that at a mass of 1 TeV the LHC cross section would show a small peak in the di-lepton and top pair channel.

description: A totally green chemistry alternative that would lead both to energy production from renewable feedstocks and to solutions of parts of ecological problems related to waste disposals would be very attractive. Pyrolysis of used frying oils seems to be one option for this attractive alternative as we propose to demonstrate in this study. Since 2002, the whole production of waste edible oils (around 100 000 tons per year in France) must be collected and transformed into secondary raw material by specific companies. The general aim of the present work is to produce one of the following target sources of energy: (i) H2 for fuel cells, (ii) H2/CO in satisfactory ratios to produce biodiesel by Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction, or (iii) hydrocarbon mixtures with high added value. Therefore, in this work, the conversion of a crude used frying oil, named VEGETAMIXOIL^(r); from Ecogras Company (France), was investigated (weight composition: C 73.6%; O 9.7%; H 12.2%). In support of our knowledge related to fatty acids and methyl esters, a laboratory pilot plant was built to study the pyrolysis of used frying oils. Effects of temperature (700-800 degrees C), residence time, addition of reaction initiator (H2O2) or inhibitor (thiophene), and diluent (water or nitrogen) were analysed with regard to the nature and amounts of pyrolysis products. Results led to the conclusion that the best operating conditions of pyrolysis are 800 degrees C with water as diluent, leading to the production of dihydrogen (40%) and hydrocarbons from methane to propylene, essentially. CO and CO2 are also produced but with low molar fractions. Furthermore, a ratio H2/CO favourable for low temperature FT is obtained.

description: In this work we assess the potential of discovering new physics by searching for lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) decays of the $Z$ boson, $Z\to \ell_i \ell_j$, at the proposed circular $e^+e^-$ colliders CEPC and FCC-ee. Both projects plan to run at the $Z$-pole as a Tera Z factory, i.e., collecting $\mathcal O\left(10^{12}\right)$ $Z$ decays. In order to discuss the discovery potential in a model-independent way, we revisit the LFV $Z$ decays in the context of the Standard Model effective field theory and study the indirect constraints from LFV $μ$ and $τ$ decays on the operators that can induce $Z\to \ell_i \ell_j$. We find that, while the $Z\to μe$ rates are beyond the expected sensitivities, a Tera Z factory is promising for $Z\to τ\ell$ decays, probing New Physics at the same level of future low-energy LFV observables.

description: In a large class of statistical inverse problems it is necessary to suppose that the transformation that is inverted is known. Although, in many applications, it is unrealistic to make this assumption, the problem is often insoluble without it. However, if additional data are available, then it is possible to estimate consistently the unknown error density. Data are seldom available directly on the transformation, but repeated, or replicated, measurements increasingly are becoming available. Such data consist of ``intrinsic'' values that are measured several times, with errors that are generally independent. Working in this setting we treat the nonparametric deconvolution problems of density estimation with observation errors, and regression with errors in variables. We show that, even if the number of repeated measurements is quite small, it is possible for modified kernel estimators to achieve the same level of performance they would if the error distribution were known. Indeed, density and regression estimators can be constructed from replicated data so that they have the same first-order properties as conventional estimators in the known-error case, without any replication, but with sample size equal to the sum of the numbers of replicates. Practical methods for constructing estimators with these properties are suggested, involving empirical rules for smoothing-parameter choice.

description: AM CVn systems are a rare type of accreting binary that consists of a white dwarf and a helium-rich, degenerate donor star. Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we searched for new AM CVn systems by focusing on blue, outbursting stars. We first selected outbursting stars using the ZTF alerts. We cross-matched the candidates with $Gaia$ and Pan-STARRS catalogs. The initial selection of candidates based on the $Gaia$ $BP$-$RP$ contains 1751 unknown objects. We used the Pan-STARRS $g$-$r$ and $r$-$i$ color in combination with the $Gaia$ color to identify 59 high-priority candidates. We obtained identification spectra of 35 sources, of which 18 are high priority candidates, and discovered 9 new AM CVn systems and one magnetic CV which shows only He-II lines. Using the outburst recurrence time, we estimate the orbital periods which are in the range of 29 to 50 minutes. We conclude that targeted followup of blue, outbursting sources is an efficient method to find new AM CVn systems, and we plan to followup all candidates we identified to systematically study the population of outbursting AM CVn systems.

description: Inspired by a new feature in 5G NR called bandwidth part (BWP), this paper presents a bandwidth allocation (BA) model that allows one to adapt the bandwidth allocated to users depending on their data rate needs. Specifically, in adaptive BA, a wide bandwidth is divided into chunks of smaller bandwidths and the number of bandwidth chunks allocated to a user depends on its needs or type. Although BWP in 5G NR mandates allocation of a set of contiguous bandwidth chunks, our BA model also allows other assumptions on chunk allocation such as the allocation of any set of bandwidth chunks, as in, e.g., LTE resource allocation, where chunks are selected uniformly at random. The BA model studied here is probabilistic in that the user locations are assumed to form a realization of a Poisson point process and each user decides independently to be of a certain type with some probability. This model allows one to quantify spectrum sharing and service differentiation in this context, namely to predict what performance a user gets depending on its type as well as the overall performance. This is based on exact representations of key performance metrics for each user type, namely its success probability, the meta distribution of its signal-to-interference ratio, and its Shannon throughput. We show that, surprisingly, the higher traffic variability stemming from adaptive BA is beneficial: when comparing two networks using adaptive BA and having the same mean signal and the same mean interference powers, the network with higher traffic variability performs better for all these performance metrics. With respect to Shannon throughput, we observe that our BA model is roughly egalitarian per Hertz and leads to a linear service differentiation in aggregated throughput value.

description: The quantum phase transition of the system of N radiators in case of two-photon exchange interaction with cavity electromagnetic field is considered. It is shown that for this system the atom-field exchange integral increases with the increase of temperature. This effect generates peculiarities in phase transition picture. The process of nonlinear exchange between the quasi-spins leads to the increase of critical temperature as compared to traditional second order phase transition of quasi-spin system.
The taxation of trust income : some inherent problems and comparative perspectives
Creators: name: Johnson, Patricia Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The taxation of trust income is subject to inherent problems due to the nature of the trust itself which allows the separation of the legal and equitable interests and the creation of differing equitable interests in income arising from property held in trust. Problematic areas include questions as to whom should be taxed on trust income, when and at what rate persons should be taxed, and on what they should be taxed. Taxation of trust income under Canadian law depends on the nature of the income as currently distributable or as accumulating, and on the nature of the trust as testamentary or inter vivos. Provision is made for the taxation of the trust or of the beneficiary. Certain types of income are permitted to retain their character in the hands of the beneficiary. An attempt to devise a logical system for the taxation of trust income reveals in detail the type of problems inherent in such a system. Conceptual and practical difficulties in determining the appropriate taxpayer, rate, and timing of taxation are considered as is the nature of the beneficial interest and its significance for tax purposes. The Canadian taxation of trust income does not completely resolve these problems. The proposals of the Royal Commission and the current law in the United States and the United Kingdom are compared and contrasted with Canadian law. Differences among the rules of the various systems, reflect differences in the way they deal with the problems inherent in the taxation of trust income. The problems and their Canadian solutions are reviewed in comparison with methods adopted elsewhere. Any change to the existing rules would require a number of interrelated changes. It is not clear that improvements which might be effected are justifiable given the increased complexity attendant on their introduction.

description: Identifying gene–environment (G×E) interactions contributing to human cardiometabolic disorders is challenging. Here we apply a reverse G×E candidate search by deriving candidate variants from promoter–enhancer interactions that respond to dietary fatty acid challenge through altered chromatin accessibility in primary human adipocytes. We then test all variants residing in lipid-responsive open chromatin sites in adipocyte promoter–enhancer contacts for interaction effects between genotype and dietary saturated fat intake on body-mass index (BMI) in the UK Biobank. We discover 14 new G×E variants in 12 lipid-responsive promoters, including in well-known lipid-related genes (LIPE, CARM1 and PLIN2) and newly associated genes, such as LDB3, for which we provide further functional and integrative genomic evidence. We further identify 24 G×E variants in enhancers, for a total of 38 new G×E variants for BMI in the UK Biobank, demonstrating that molecular genomics data produced in physiologically relevant contexts can be applied to discover new functional G×E mechanisms in humans.

description: Our ability to generate new distributions of light has been remarkably enhanced in recent years. At the most fundamental level, these light patterns are obtained by ingeniously combining different electromagnetic modes. Interestingly, the modal superposition occurs in the spatial, temporal as well as spatio-temporal domain. This generalized concept of structured light is being applied across the entire spectrum of optics: generating classical and quantum states of light, harnessing linear and nonlinear light-matter interactions, and advancing applications in microscopy, spectroscopy, holography, communication, and synchronization. This Roadmap highlights the common roots of these different techniques and thus establishes links between research areas that complement each other seamlessly. We provide an overview of all these areas, their backgrounds, current research, and future developments. We highlight the power of multimodal light manipulation and want to inspire new eclectic approaches in this vibrant research community.

3D Cell Modular Approach in Colon Cancer Therapeutics Using Nanoparticle-Mediated Photodynamic Treatment

description: Targeted drug therapies are becoming increasingly utilized for precision medicine, particularly towards cancer treatments. Optimized therapy is based on drugs’ selectivity and specificity towards cancerous tissues. We utilized bioluminescence to create light only within the cancer region and in the vicinity of the photoactive TiO2 nanoparticles by linking the enediol-modified TiO2 nanoparticles to firefly Luciferase and in doing so created biocomposites that upon activation induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, linkage with the C225 monoclonal antibody provided further selective targeting to the surface of HCT-116 colon cancer cells. The ensuing TiO2 nanoconjugates are 100% effective in 2D in vitro studies, but only partially (70%) effective in in vivo studies. Therefore, we designed a 3D cell model, mimicking tumor tissue at a microlevel, to bridge the gap and improve clinical efficacy. In doing so, our 3D cell model provided greater insight into tissue reactivity with TiO2 nanoconjugates, allowing for further optimization of the biocomposites. Tumor resistivity to drugs has been frequently linked to hypoxia. Thus, we incorporated the study of tumor hypoxia into our 3D cell model. Our results demonstrated the influential role of hypoxia in decreasing TiO2 nanoconjugate efficacy, limiting cell programmed death to the outer periphery of spheroids. The unique bioluminescent mechanism of TiO2 nanoconjugates furthermore allowed for in situ visualization in real-time of apoptosis in HCT-116 spheroids providing a holistic view of microtissue behavior during cell-programmed death. Our 3D cell model is a unique cell-based testing platform that can be adapted to study different types of cancer and other disease states. With further development, the 3D cell model also has the capability to reform the current drug development process and advance the study of targeted oncology therapeutics.

description: We discuss the Pauli Hamiltonian within a ${SU(2)}$ gauge theory interpretation, where the gauge symmetry is broken. This interpretation carries directly over to the structural inversion asymmetric spin-orbit interactions in semiconductors and offers new insight into the problem of spin currents in the condensed matter environment. The central results is that symmetry breaking leads to zero spin conductivity in contrast to predictions of Gauge symmetric treatments. Computing the translation operator commutation relations comprising the simplest possible structural inversion asymmetry due to an external electric field, we derive a new condition for orbit quantization. The relation between the topological nature of this effect is consistent with our non-Abelian gauge symmetry breaking scenario.

description: For the first time an extensive search for various double beta decay modes of 124Sn and 112Sn has been performed. A total exposure of 43.29 kg.days has been accumulated. New half-life limits of 124Sn into excited states of 124Te have been obtained; the lower half-life limit for the first excited 2+ state at 602.7keV is T_1/2 > 3.1 *10^{18}yrs (90 % CL) and for the first excited 0+ state T_1/2 > 7.7 *10^{18}yrs (90 % CL). For the very first time, ground state and excited state transitions of 112Sn have been experimentally explored. The obtained half-life limits for ECEC and beta+/EC into the first excited 2+ state of 112Cd are both T_1/2 >1.4 *10^{18}yrs (90 % CL). A resonance enhancement in the decay rate for 0nuECEC might be expected for the 0+-state at 1870.9keV due to degeneracy with the 112Sn ground state. No signal was found resulting in a lower half-life limit of T_1/2 > 1.6 *10^{18} yrs (90 % CL) for this decay. As all the excited state searches are based on gamma-lines, all half-life limits apply for both neutrino and neutrino-less modes. Neutrinoless ground state transitions were searched for in the ECEC and beta+/EC mode and a limit of T_1/2 > 1.5 *10^{18} yrs (90 % CL) was obtained for ECEC decays of 112Sn, whilst the beta+/EC mode results are inconclusive.

description: Although recent studies provide evidence for a common genetic basis between complex traits and Mendelian disorders, a thorough quantification of their overlap in a phenotype-specific manner remains elusive. Here, we have quantified the overlap of genes identified through large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for 62 complex traits and diseases with genes containing mutations known to cause 20 broad categories of Mendelian disorders. We identified a significant enrichment of genes linked to phenotypically matched Mendelian disorders in GWAS gene sets; of the total 1,240 comparisons, a higher proportion of phenotypically matched or related pairs (n = 50 of 92 [54%]) than phenotypically unmatched pairs (n = 27 of 1,148 [2%]) demonstrated significant overlap, confirming a phenotype-specific enrichment pattern. Further, we observed elevated GWAS effect sizes near genes linked to phenotypically matched Mendelian disorders. Finally, we report examples of GWAS variants localized at the transcription start site or physically interacting with the promoters of genes linked to phenotypically matched Mendelian disorders. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that genes that are disrupted in Mendelian disorders are dysregulated by non-coding variants in complex traits and demonstrate how leveraging findings from related Mendelian disorders and functional genomic datasets can prioritize genes that are putatively dysregulated by local and distal non-coding GWAS variants.

description: We study a model of hard-core bosons on the kagome lattice with short-range hopping ($t$) and repulsive interactions ($V$). This model directly maps on to an easy-axis $S=1/2$ XXZ model on the kagome lattice and is also related, at large $V/t$, to a quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice. Using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) numerics, we map out the phase diagram of this model at half-filling. At T=0, we show that this model exhibits a superfluid phase at small $V/t$ and an insulating phase at large $V/t$, separated by a continuous quantum phase transition at $V_c/t \approx 19.8$. The insulating phase at T=0 appears to have no conventional broken symmetries, and is thus a uniform Mott insulator (a `spin liquid' in magnetic language). We characterize this insulating phase as a uniform $Z_2$ fractionalized insulator from the topological order in the ground state and estimate its vison gap. Consistent with this identification, there is no apparent thermal phase transition upon heating the insulator. The insulating phase instead smoothly crosses over into the high temperature paramagnet via an intermediate cooperative paramagnetic regime. We also study the superfluid-to-normal thermal transition for $V < V_c$. We find that this is a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition at small $V/t$ but changes to a first order transition for $V$ closer to $V_c$. We argue that this first order thermal transition is consistent with the presence of a nearby $Z_2$ insulating ground state obtained from the superfluid ground state by condensing double vortices.

description: Rare fully penetrant mutations in AKT2 are an established cause of monogenic disorders of glucose metabolism. Recently, a novel partial loss-of-function AKT2 coding variant (p.Pro50Thr) was identified that is nearly specific to Finns (frequency 1.1%), with the low-frequency allele associated with an increase in fasting plasma insulin level and risk of type 2 diabetes. The effects of the p.Pro50Thr AKT2 variant (p.P50T/AKT2) on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (GU) in the whole body and in different tissues have not previously been investigated. We identified carriers (N = 20) and matched noncarriers (N = 25) for this allele in the population-based Metabolic Syndrome in Men (METSIM) study and invited these individuals back for positron emission tomography study with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose during euglycemic hyperinsulinemia. When we compared p.P50T/AKT2 carriers to noncarriers, we found a 39.4% reduction in whole-body GU (P = 0.006) and a 55.6% increase in the rate of endogenous glucose production (P = 0.038). We found significant reductions in GU in multiple tissues—skeletal muscle (36.4%), liver (16.1%), brown adipose (29.7%), and bone marrow (32.9%)—and increases of 16.8–19.1% in seven tested brain regions. These data demonstrate that the p.P50T substitution of AKT2 influences insulin-mediated GU in multiple insulin-sensitive tissues and may explain, at least in part, the increased risk of type 2 diabetes in p.P50T/AKT2 carriers.

description: Most epigenome-wide association studies to date have been conducted in blood. However, metabolic syndrome is mediated by a dysregulation of adiposity and therefore it is critical to study adipose tissue in order to understand the effects of this syndrome on epigenomes. To determine if natural variation in DNA methylation was associated with metabolic syndrome traits, we profiled global methylation levels in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue. We measured association between 32 clinical traits related to diabetes and obesity in 201 people from the Metabolic Syndrome in Men cohort. We performed epigenome-wide association studies between DNA methylation levels and traits, and identified associations for 13 clinical traits in 21 loci. We prioritized candidate genes in these loci using expression quantitative trait loci, and identified 18 high confidence candidate genes, including known and novel genes associated with diabetes and obesity traits. Using methylation deconvolution, we examined which cell types may be mediating the associations, and concluded that most of the loci we identified were specific to adipocytes. We determined whether the abundance of cell types varies with metabolic traits, and found that macrophages increased in abundance with the severity of metabolic syndrome traits. Finally, we developed a DNA methylation-based biomarker to assess type 2 diabetes risk in adipose tissue. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that profiling DNA methylation in adipose tissue is a powerful tool for understanding the molecular effects of metabolic syndrome on adipose tissue, and can be used in conjunction with traditional genetic analyses to further characterize this disorder.

description: Diagnostic pathogenetic model appeared insufficient to explain appropriate and adequate functioning (positive adaptation) of youth affected by various risk factors. That is the reason why in social sciences we observe increased attention towards resilience concept. After decades of concentration on resilience as an individual trait and also as a process that helps one’s deal with difficulties, a novel, socioecological concept gains importance. In this approach resilience is defined as a set of behaviors over time that reflect the interactions between individuals and their environments, in particular the opportunities for personal growth. The aim of the article is to analyze the socioecological resources of Polish youth, which are located in the closer or more distant environments where young people function, based on the “Ecological Systems Theory of Development” by Urie Bronfenbrenner. The analysis were conducted on empirical studies published by 2013 concerning socioecological resources of Polish youth such as: family environment, social support, education; employment; living conditions, parents-school relation, local labour market, political, economic and cultural conditions. Best recognized factors protecting young people are those included in the microsystem. Financial stability, family and peer group support, family rituals, build supportive educational environment. Good cooperation between parents and the school (mesosystem) promotes a greater sense of security and improves educational environment`s quality. Finally, in macro system the most important is still high level of religiosity, sense of security, access to education and good, although currently worsening situation on the labour market. A strengthening role is also played by attachment to communities and the conviction that democratic procedures are an indispensable element of the contemporary social order, and that politics is an important element in building a more just state, alleviating social inequalities.
Criminal prosecutions, the defence of religious freedom and the Canadian charter

description: This thesis examines the conditions under which a defense of religious freedom can be successfully argued before the courts. It is acknowledged that freedom of religion has long existed in Canada but the defense of religious freedom in criminal prosecutions has not often been accepted by the Canadian Courts. The author thinks that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms puts the defense of religious freedom in a more favourable position by making it possible for Canadian judges to proceed to a balancing test that up to now they have been reluctant to use. Besides the question of the balancing test, various problems revolve around the defense of religious freedom in criminal prosecutions. The first section examines the social and historical context of religious freedom in Canada. The second section is located in a more legal perspective. A survey of the Canadian cases is made in order to comprehend the answers that Canadian judges have given in the criminal prosecutions where the defense of religious freedom was raised. In looking at the Canadian decisions on that issue, four basic problems call for solutions. The following sections deal respectively with those questions. Section 3 raises the issue of the definition of religion and religious activities. Section 4 points out a new understanding of the concept of infringement. In Section 5, the notion of balancing test is examined in light of American decisions and its application to the defense of religious freedom is considered. Finally, the necessity of a theory justifying the defense of religious freedom is explored in Section 6. In conclusion, this study stresses the impact the Charter will have upon the acceptance of the defense of religious freedom by Canadian courts. To the problems that have been identified, the author proposes some solutions, bearing in mind that the future of the defense of religious freedom in Canada depends on whether or not Canadian judges will consider that the Charter has introduced a new era in the exercise of fundamental freedoms in Canada.
