Structural decomposition and shift-share analyses: let the parallels converge
Creators: name: Dietzenbacher, Erik
name: Lahr, Michael L.
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2017
Subjects: Structural decomposition analysis
Shift-share analysis
Regional analysis
Input-output analysis

description: Intuitively, structural decomposition analysis (SDA) demonstrates strong similarities to shift-share analysis (SSA). Both examine the effects of industry shifts due to growth (or decline) and some sort of difference in industry shares. But SSA works its shares across space while SDA works its shares again across industries via technology change (fabrication effects). Suffice it to say, SDA and SSA are related, and this chapter will formally combine the two disparate strands of literature. In particular, it will show how changes in regional growth differentials can be included into a structural decomposition analysis. Moreover, the present availability of a large number of input-output table panels appears to enable the detection of even more parallels between the two approaches. Between the formalization of the SSA-SDA relationship and the available I-O data, a wide range of new, policy-relevant empirical applications is possible. The chapter will conclude by suggesting a few avenues for future research.

title: Precaution in International Environmental Law and Precautions in the Law of Armed Conflict
Creators: name: Bothe, Michael
Publisher: name: Institute for International and European Law, University of Göttingen
Year: 2020

description: The protection of the environment in relation to armed conflict, in particular during armed conflict is a complex problem as it involves at least two different fields of international law, the law of armed conflict (international humanitarian law) and international environmental law. Their mutual relationship is a delicate issue. International humanitarian law is not necessarily lex specialis. Three principles deserve particular attention in this connection: as to general international environmental law, the principle of prevention and the precautionary principle, as to international humanitarian law the duty to take precautions. The terms prevention and precaution are used in different contexts in environmental law (both national and international) and in the law of armed conflict. The duty, imposed by international humanitarian law, to take precautions has much in common with, but must be distinguished from, the precautionary approach of general environmental law. This paper shows what these principles mean and how they relate to each other. It answers the question to what extent the rules based on these concepts are effective in restraining environmental damage being caused by military activities. The application of these principles in peace and war serves intergenerational equity and is thus an important element of sustainable development.

description: An ideal one-dimensional electronic system is formed along atomic chains on Au-decorated vicinal silicon surfaces but the nature of its low temperature phases has been puzzled for last two decades. Here, we unambiguously identify the low temperature structural distortion of this surface using high resolution atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. The most important structural ingredient of this surface, the step-edge Si chains are found to be strongly buckled, every third atoms down, forming trimer unitcells. This observation is consistent with the recent model of rehybridized dangling bonds and rules out the antiferromagnetic spin ordering proposed earlier. The spectroscopy and electronic structure calculation indicate a charge density wave insulator with a Z3 topology making it possible to exploit topological phases and excitations. Tunneling current was found to substantially lower the energy barrier between three degenerate CDW states, which induces a dynamically fluctuating CDW at very low temperature.

description: Objectives: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being increasingly used prior to debulking for ovarian serous carcinoma. There can be significant histopathologic alterations, sometimes making the pathologic diagnosis challenging. Methods: A Medline search was performed, and articles describing the histologic changes associated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as well as any possible clinical impact, were reviewed. Results: The scope of histopathological changes seen after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for ovarian serous carcinoma, as well as their possible clinical significance is presented. Conclusions: Histopathologic changes include degenerative changes, increased atypia, and alterations that may make pathologic interpretation difficult, particularly if there is a lack of familiarity with these changes and lack of available clinical history. More study is needed to assess whether there is any prognostic significance to these alterations.

Publisher: name: Institute for International and European Law, University of Göttingen
Year: 2020

description: This article addresses the International Law Commission’s Draft Principles on the Protection of the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflicts. The main argument presented is that any principles on the protection of the environment – pre-conflict, during conflict, and post-conflict – should be complementary to and inclusive of both the Women, Peace and Security agenda and Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Diccimination Against Women as part of a holistic and integrated approach to environmental protection. The erasure of the specific women’s human rights instruments, including Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Diccimination Against Women, cannot be legitimized on the basis that mentioning gender equality or the right to non- discrimination is redundant given that other more general instruments have been cited or that considering them is too controversial. Their inclusion as part of the underlying international human rights framework is vital.

description: We describe the optimum telescope focal ratio for a two-element, three surface, telecentric image-transfer microlens-to-fiber coupled integral field unit within the constraints imposed by micro-optics fabrication and optical aberrations. We create a generalized analytical description of the micro-optics optical parameters from first principals. We find that the optical performance, including all aberrations, of a design constrained by an analytic model considering only spherical aberration and diffraction matches within +/-4% of a design optimized by ray-tracing software such as Zemax. The analytical model does not require any compromise on the available clear aperture; about 90% mechanical aperture of a hexagonal microlens is available for light collection. The optimum telescope f-ratio for a 200μm core fiber fed at f/3.5 is between f/7 and f/12. We find the optimum telescope focal ratio changes as a function of fiber core diameter and fiber input beam speed. A telescope focal ratio of f/8 would support the largest range of fiber diameters (100 to 500μm) and fiber injection speeds (between f/3 and f/5). The optimization of telescope and lenslet-coupled fibers is relevant for the design of high-efficiency dedicated survey telescopes, and for retro-fitting existing facilities via introducing focal macro-optics to match the instrument input requirements.

Visual attention and retinal fixation: preprocessing modules for enhanced performance in real-time vision
Creators: name: Banerjee, Arunava
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1994

description: In systems that operate in real time, the manner in which resources are allocated often determines the success of a system or the failure thereof. The human visual system manages to operate in real time by repeating in order, processes of Fixation, Attention and Recognition. In essence, it chooses regions of interest in the visual scene and subsequently concentrates its computational resources on them. In this paper, we attempt to emulate this characteristic of the human visual system. We present operators for Visual Attention and Retinal Fixation, neural architectures that implement them, and simulation results that confirm the effectiveness of the underlying mechanisms. We also discuss the biological plausibility of our model in light of some of the available data on the functional characteristics of the visual system.

description: This two-part study examined Dweck’s psychological needs model in relation to exercise-related well-2 being, and particularly focused on the basic need for optimal predictability, and compound needs for 3 identity and meaning. In Part 1 (N = 559), using exploratory factor analysis, scores derived from items 4 assessing optimal predictability (prediction of affect and instrumental utility in exercise) were 5 empirically distinct from scores derived from items assessing competence, relatedness, and autonomy. 6 In Part 2, participants from Part 1 (N = 403) completed measures of exercise-related well-being four 7 weeks after baseline assessment. Prediction of affect was the most consistent predictor of subsequent 8 exercise-related well-being. An implication of these findings is that optimal predictability (primarily 9 prediction of affect) represents a unique experience that may be necessary for thriving in the context of 10 exercise. Prediction of affect should be targeted in experimental designs to further understand its 11 relationship with exercise-related well-being.
Pro-environmental behaviour in emerging markets: a study of Vietnamese consumers' purchase of energy efficient appliances
Creators: name: Nguyen, The Ninh
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis investigates various factors that enhance or impede consumer pro-environmental behaviour in a specific context, i.e., the purchase of energy efficient appliances in Vietnam. Data were obtained in two stages using paper-based surveys. The findings reveal that altruistic and biospheric values motivate consumers to purchase energy efficient appliances. Such values enhance their environmental attitudes, norms, self-identity and warm glow, and also mitigate their perceived barriers associated with the purchase of these products. However contrary findings were found for egoistic values. Additionally, consumers with higher income and those who live in households with more children purchase more energy efficient appliances.

description: Biosensors are powerful tools for improving microbial biosynthesis. For example, biosensors can be used to establish feedback control mechanisms to inhibit the growth of low performing cells in a microbial population. In this study, a previously developed biosensor-assisted cell selection system was further engineered to increase the cell selection pressure for improving the bioproduction of 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB) in E. coli. First, additional sensor protein PobR binding sites were introduced to reduce the binding of PobR controlling the expression of the selection marker gene (antibiotic tetracycline resistance tetA), which stimulated the engineered cells to produce more 4HB to compensate for the tetA expression reduction due to the loss of the PobR binding. Second, the degradation of the PobR sensor protein was promoted using an E. coli ssrA-SspB system to press the cells to make more 4HB. Third, the dosage of antibiotic tetracycline controlling the selection strengths was dynamically increased during the cultivation to align the selection pressure elevation with the cell growth. Our findings show these strategies all effectively improved the 4HB biosynthesis in E. coli and thus demonstrate their potential of wider applications in microbial biosynthesis.
Automated classification of DNA structure from sequence information

description: We introduce an algorithm, lllama, which combines simple pattern recognizers into a general method for estimating the entropy of a sequence. Each pattern recognizer exploits a partial match between subsequences to build a model of the sequence. Since the primary features of interest in biological sequence domains are subsequences with small variations in exact composition, lllama is particularly suited to such domains. We describe two methods, lllama-length and lllama-alone, which use this entropy estimate to perform maximum a posteriori classi cation. We apply these methods to several problems in three-dimensional structure classi cation of short DNA sequences. The results include a surprisingly low 3.6% error rate in predicting helical conformation of oligonucleotides. We compare our results to those obtained using more traditional methods for automated generation of classi ers
Dual networks based 3D Multi-Person Pose Estimation from Monocular Video

description: Monocular 3D human pose estimation has made progress in recent years. Most of the methods focus on single persons, which estimate the poses in the person-centric coordinates, i.e., the coordinates based on the center of the target person. Hence, these methods are inapplicable for multi-person 3D pose estimation, where the absolute coordinates (e.g., the camera coordinates) are required. Moreover, multi-person pose estimation is more challenging than single pose estimation, due to inter-person occlusion and close human interactions. Existing top-down multi-person methods rely on human detection (i.e., top-down approach), and thus suffer from the detection errors and cannot produce reliable pose estimation in multi-person scenes. Meanwhile, existing bottom-up methods that do not use human detection are not affected by detection errors, but since they process all persons in a scene at once, they are prone to errors, particularly for persons in small scales. To address all these challenges, we propose the integration of top-down and bottom-up approaches to exploit their strengths. Our top-down network estimates human joints from all persons instead of one in an image patch, making it robust to possible erroneous bounding boxes. Our bottom-up network incorporates human-detection based normalized heatmaps, allowing the network to be more robust in handling scale variations. Finally, the estimated 3D poses from the top-down and bottom-up networks are fed into our integration network for final 3D poses. To address the common gaps between training and testing data, we do optimization during the test time, by refining the estimated 3D human poses using high-order temporal constraint, re-projection loss, and bone length regularizations. Our evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Code and models are available: https://github.com/3dpose/3D-Multi-Person-Pose.

description: We studied the band structure of NdFeAs$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$O$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ ($x$ = 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. Two of the hole bands, $α_1$ $(d_{xz})$ and $α_3$ $(d_{z^2})$, were observed at the Brillouin zone center in the $P$-polarized light configuration, while the other two hole bands, $α_2$ $(d_{yz})$ and $γ$ $(d_{xy})$, were observed in the $S$-polarized alternative. The observed $γ$ band shifts downwards as $x$ increases, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction for the change in bond angle of As/P-Fe-As/P. Furthermore, a small amount of the $d_{xy}$ orbital component was observed at the same binding energy as that of the top of the $α_1$ band, thus indicating the band reconstruction of the originally degenerate $α_1$ and $α_2$ $(d_{xz}/d_{yz})$ bands by the unoccupied $d_{xy}$ band. The change in the energy level of the $α_1$ band top with $d_{xy}$ orbital character is accompanied by a $T_{c}$ upturn at $0.2 < x < 0.4$. The $T_{c}$ continues to increase as the $α_1$ band shifts downward, crossing the Fermi level. The incipient band with the $d_{xy}$ orbital character on its top could be an important ingredient for high $T_{c}$ 1111-type iron-based superconductors.

description: Global warming poses serious risks to the environment, communities, and international peace and security. Significant concerns have been raised that, in the case of climate policy failures, the world may enter a Warming War, threatening the future viability of the planet and its life-sustaining ecosystems. While the regime of treaties and agreements governing climate change acknowledges the science and threats posed by global warming, it is not well positioned to constrain the securitization of climate change. A function of international law is to prevent armed conflict by resolving disputes through the judicial application of principles and norms governing relations between States. However, to date, it has been ineffective in addressing the impacts of climate change on armed conflict, because the treaties applicable to climate change fail to provide preventative, enforcement, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It is time for international law to establish judicial bodies with jurisdiction for conflict resolution and response capacities in the pre-phase to a Warming War. The challenge is to develop soft security measures to avoid climate conflict risks turning violent and becoming a hard security issue, attracting the use of force by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The establishment of an International Court for the Environment (ICE) is proposed as an entity that could enforce legally binding norms and resolve climate-induced disputes, opening an avenue for stakeholders to bring climate loss and damage cases to court. Aside from the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) to limit global warming, and the establishment of new legal regimes, alternative actions can be undertaken to protect the environment and communities, by mitigating climate-related risks. There is growing discourse surrounding climate change as a threat multiplier, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities. In the pre-phase to conflict, there is an urgent need to identify these vulnerabilities and their levels of influence on the compound effects of climate and conflict risks.

Human Performance on Clustering Web Pages

description: With the increase in information on the World Wide Web it has become difficult to find desired information quickly without using multiple queries or using a topic-specific search engine. One way to help in the search is by grouping HTML pages together that appear in some way to be related. In order to better understand this task, we performed an initial study of human clustering of web pages, in the hope that it would provide some insight into the difficulty of automating this task. Our results show that subjects did not cluster identically; in fact, on average, any two subjects had little similarity in their web-page clusters. We also found that subjects generally created rather small clusters, and those with access only to URLs created fewer clusters than those with access to the full text of each web page. Generally the overlap of documents between clusters for any given subject increased when given the full text, as did the percentage of documents clustered. When analyzing individual subjects, we found that each had different behavior across queries, both in terms of overlap, size of clusters, and number of clusters. These results provide a sobering note on any quest for a single clearly correct clustering method for web pages.
Crafting modern Somali poetry: Lyric features in ‘Fad Galbeed’ by Gaarriye and ‘Xabagbarsheed’ by Weedhsame
Creators: name: Orwin, Martin

description: This article presents two Somali poems in the jiifto metre: Fad Galbeed ‘Evening Cloud’ by Maxamed Xaashi Dhamac ‘Gaarriye’ and Xabagbarsheed ‘Royal Jelly’ by Xasan Daahir Ismaaciil ‘Weedhsame’. Each is recognized as a fine example of modern Somali poetry, and this article seeks to understand some of the reasons why this is so. The particular features considered are the use of address and apostrophe in Fad Galbeed and how this relates to the lyric present in each of the two parts of the poem. In Xabagbarsheed, on the other hand, I concentrate on sound-patterning looking at two sections in particular, one which displays assonance and another which displays interesting crafting of sound features which, it is suggested, foreground the sound of the alliterating consonant in a particularly appealing way. The discussion is centred on the poems themselves making detailed reference to the language used and how this contributes to the features and effects discussed. It is thus on the one hand a contribution to the study of the craft and aesthetics in Somali poetry. On the other hand, the manifestations of these aesthetic aspects coincide with what is presented in work on lyric. The article makes reference to this and, without going into detail on the theoretical aspects, seeks to begin to make a contribution from Somali poetry to this field of literary study.

description: Opioids account for 69,000 overdose deaths per annum worldwide and cause serious side effects. Safer analgesics are urgently needed. The endogenous opioid peptide Leu-Enkephalin (Leu-ENK) is ineffective when introduced peripherally due to poor stability and limited membrane permeability. We developed a focused library of Leu-ENK analogs containing small hydrophobic modifications. N-pivaloyl analog KK-103 showed the highest binding affinity to the delta opioid receptor (68% relative to Leu-ENK) and an extended plasma half-life of 37 h. In the murine hot-plate model, subcutaneous KK-103 showed 10-fold improved anticonception (142%MPE·h) compared to Leu-ENK (14%MPE·h). In the formalin model, KK-103 reduced the licking and biting time to ~50% relative to the vehicle group. KK-103 was shown to act through the opioid receptors in the central nervous system. In contrast to morphine, KK-103 was longer-lasting and did not induce breathing depression, physical dependence, and tolerance, showing potential as a safe and effective analgesic.

description: Objective: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a potentially reversible brain dysfunction caused by liver failure. Altered synaptic plasticity is supposed to play a major role in the pathophysiology of HE. Here, we used paired associative stimulation with an inter-stimulus interval of 25 ms (PAS25), a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol, to test synaptic plasticity of the motor cortex in patients with manifest HE. Methods: 23 HE-patients and 23 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes were assessed as measure for cortical excitability. Time courses of MEP amplitude changes after the PAS25 intervention were compared between both groups. Results: MEP-amplitudes increased after PAS25 in the control group, indicating PAS25-induced synaptic plasticity in healthy controls, as expected. In contrast, MEP-amplitudes within the HE group did not change and were lower than in the control group, indicating no induction of plasticity. Conclusion: Our study revealed reduced synaptic plasticity of the primary motor cortex in HE. Significance: Reduced synaptic plasticity in HE provides a link between pathological changes on the molecular level and early clinical symptoms of the disease. This decrease may be caused by disturbances in the glutamatergic neurotransmission due to the known hyperammonemia in HE patients.

description: We study how occupation-related material interest affects environmental voting. Specifically, material interest hinges on the greenness vs. brownness of individual occupational profiles. That is, on the extent to which individuals are expected to benefit vs. lose in a greener economy. We employ individual-level data from 14 western European countries, over 2010-2019. To measure the greenness and brownness of occupational profiles, for each individual we compute predicted greenness and brownness scores based on the predicted probabilities to be employed in each possible occupation. These probabilities are combined with occupation-specific greenness and brownness scores. Individuals characterized by higher predicted brownness are less likely to vote for Green parties and for parties with a more environmentalist agenda, while the opposite holds for individuals characterized by higher predicted greenness. Voting preferences of brown profiles tend to converge towards those of greener profiles in regions that are better placed to gain from the green transition.

description: We present an adaptive deep representation of volumetric fields of 3D shapes and an efficient approach to learn this deep representation for high-quality 3D shape reconstruction and auto-encoding. Our method encodes the volumetric field of a 3D shape with an adaptive feature volume organized by an octree and applies a compact multilayer perceptron network for mapping the features to the field value at each 3D position. An encoder-decoder network is designed to learn the adaptive feature volume based on the graph convolutions over the dual graph of octree nodes. The core of our network is a new graph convolution operator defined over a regular grid of features fused from irregular neighboring octree nodes at different levels, which not only reduces the computational and memory cost of the convolutions over irregular neighboring octree nodes, but also improves the performance of feature learning. Our method effectively encodes shape details, enables fast 3D shape reconstruction, and exhibits good generality for modeling 3D shapes out of training categories. We evaluate our method on a set of reconstruction tasks of 3D shapes and scenes and validate its superiority over other existing approaches. Our code, data, and trained models are available at https://wang-ps.github.io/dualocnn.

description: On September 14, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an advisory warning against the consumption of fresh spinach because of suspected contamination with E. coli O157:H71. Following the advisory, a series of voluntary recalls were initiated nationwide, beginning with products from Natural Selection Foods, LLC, of San Juan Bautista, California, which produced bagged fresh spinach under 30 brand names. Fresh spinach was quickly removed from store shelves and restaurant menus. Because of the serious nature of the risk posed by exposure to E. coli O157:H7, both the FDA and the produce industry carried out aggressive information campaigns to alert the public that they should not eat fresh spinach. In response, the recall received substantial media attention, resulting in extensive coverage in both newspapers and on television news broadcasts. The objective of this study was to examine which groups of people were most likely to be unaware of the fresh spinach recall and therefore at risk for consuming contaminated spinach. The study used a nationally representative telephone survey of 1,200 Americans, conducted from November 8-29, 2006. The results indicated that the majority (87%) of Americans were aware of the spinach recall. However, awareness was not uniformly distributed across the population. While only 13% of Americans were unaware of the recall overall, 22% of African Americans, 23% of the Hispanic population, 21% of Americans age 18-34 and 16% of males reported that they hadn’t heard or read about the spinach recall. As consuming spinach prior to the recall was associated with awareness of the recall, this variable was controlled for in regression analyses. However, even after controlling for prior spinach consumption, non-Whites, people of Hispanic origin, young adults (18-34 years old) and males were significantly more likely to be unaware of the spinach recall (Table 1). A second logistic regression model found that those age 55 and older were no more or less likely to know about the recall than those younger than 55.

Publisher: name: Journal of African Languages and Literatures
Year: 2020

description: This paper examines the oral performances of Hausa poet Hajiya Sa’adatu Barmani Choge (1945-2013). Her songs promoted the genre of music called Amada; music performed using calabash ensemble in northern Nigeria. Barmani has composed about 17 well known songs mostly targeting the female audience and family life. As such, some aspects of her songs drawn from excerpts of her recordings from CDs and YouTube highlighting her performances in Hausa language will be presented. The purpose of the analysis is to develop an understanding of her accomplishment and recognition as a traditional female singer who has played an important role in promoting women’s empowerment. As the last female of her art, this article will showcase her style of performance with her calabash, chorus band members ’yan amshi, creative exemplifications and public acceptance. Analysing some of her orally performances which include songs about women’s life, women empowerment and women’s sexuality will provide an insight into a woman’s interpretation of Hausa society particularly in Nigeria. KEY WORDS: oral poetry, Hausa women, women’s empowerment

description: The innovation-driven multinational enterprise (MNE) has dominated international business (IB) research for several decades now. Beginning with the award winning research of Dunning, there have been calls for IB researchers to rediscover the importance of locations. Recent work has emphasized that firms and locations co-evolve with one another, as knowledge is transferred and leveraged across space. Integrating insights from IB and economic geography we propose a research agenda for IB scholarship on spatially dispersed yet connected innovation processes. This agenda is premised on the current reality of global value chains in which mobile (MNEs, people) and immobile (locations) factors interact. The research perspective suggested recognizes that locations are host to increasingly “fine sliced” activities, whose nature and composition is continuously changed by MNE-driven innovation processes. As today’s specialized activities become tomorrow’s standardized ones, the shifting distribution of global value creation depends upon the pattern of international knowledge connectivity.
Image correlation spectroscopy characterization of plasmonic random media

description: Recently, techniques and devices using plasmonic nanoparticles have increasingly merged into a wide range of applications. However, until present a non-destructive characterization of plasmonic random media (PRM) via optical methods is still absent. Under this background, we studied how the randomness of particle properties (e.g. particle orientation, compartmentalization and aggregation status) in a PRM affects the collective optical response of the media. In our study, we found that the precision of Image Correlation Spectroscopy (ICS) is highly sensitive to the distribution of particle characteristics. In this thesis, we demonstrate our new optical characterization method which allow us to indicate the properties of particles embedded in a PRM by using the percentage ratio between manually counted and ICS calculated particle density.

description: We consider the complexity class ACC^1 and related families of arithmetic circuits. We prove a variety of collapse results, showing several settings in which no loss of computational power results if fan-in of gates is severely restricted, as well as presenting a natural class of arithmetic circuits in which no expressive power is lost by severely restricting the algebraic degree of the circuits. These results tend to support a conjecture regarding the computational power of the complexity class VP over finite algebras, and they also highlight the significance of a class of arithmetic circuits that is in some sense dual to VP.

description: Background While there is robust evidence for strategies to reduce harms of illicit drug use, less attention has been paid to alcohol harm reduction for people experiencing severe alcohol use disorder (AUD), homelessness, and street-based illicit drinking. Managed Alcohol Programs (MAPs) provide safer and regulated sources of alcohol and other supports within a harm reduction framework. To reduce the impacts of heavy long-term alcohol use among MAP participants, cannabis substitution has been identified as a potential therapeutic tool. Methods To determine the feasibility of cannabis substitution, we conducted a pre-implementation mixed-methods study utilizing structured surveys and open-ended interviews. Data were collected from MAP organizational leaders (n = 7), program participants (n = 19), staff and managers (n = 17) across 6 MAPs in Canada. We used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to inform and organize our analysis. Results Five themes describing feasibility of CSP implementation in MAPs were identified. The first theme describes the characteristics of potential CSP participants. Among MAP participants, 63% (n = 12) were already substituting cannabis for alcohol, most often on a weekly basis (n = 8, 42.1%), for alcohol cravings (n = 15, 78.9%,) and withdrawal (n = 10, 52.6%). Most MAP participants expressed willingness to participate in a CSP (n = 16, 84.2%). The second theme describes the characteristics of a feasible and preferred CSP model according to participants and staff. Participants preferred staff administration of dry, smoked cannabis, followed by edibles and capsules with replacement of some doses of alcohol through a partial substitution model. Themes three and four highlight organizational and contextual factors related to feasibility of implementing CSPs. MAP participants requested peer, social, and counselling supports. Staff requested education resources and enhanced clinical staffing. Critically, program staff and leaders identified that sustainable funding and inexpensive, legal, and reliable sourcing of cannabis are needed to support CSP implementation. Conclusion Cannabis substitution was considered feasible by all three groups and in some MAPs residents are already using cannabis. Partial substitution of cannabis for doses of alcohol was preferred. All three groups identified a need for additional supports for implementation including peer support, staff education, and counselling. Sourcing and funding cannabis were identified as primary challenges to successful CSP implementation in MAPs.
