Race, imprisonment, and reintegration: Reflections of Black male ex-prisoners
Creators: name: Harewood, Anne Veronica
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Black Studies.
subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: This thesis is intended to further the critical race theory goal of documenting the narratives of racially subjugated populations, particularly Blacks. It presents and critically engages with the subject of race and its relationship to imprisonment and reintegration by putting forward the stories of Black male ex-prisoners who have experienced a term of incarceration in a Canadian federal penitentiary. The author uses a critical race lens in order to examine the role of race in the lives of Black ex-prisoners. In addition, she puts forward a plea for academic and institutional discourses to place the experiential knowledge of these individuals at the forefront of criminological research. Critical criminology theories that emphasize the importance of ethnographic data and epistemological assumptions that have challenged Eurocentric scholarship, which overlooks the consequences of racial inequality, guide the author's findings. As such, the primary goal of this research is to provide an arena for Black male ex-prisoners to express their realities as a racialized group who have historically been excluded from Canadian academe.

description: Background To analyze the impact of weight loss before and during chemoradiation on survival outcomes in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. Methods From 07/1994-07/2000 a total of 224 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were randomized to either hyperfractionated radiation therapy alone or the same radiation therapy combined with two cycles of concomitant cisplatin. The primary endpoint was time to any treatment failure (TTF); secondary endpoints were locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS). Patient weight was measured 6 months before treatment, at treatment start and treatment end. Results The proportion of patients with >5% weight loss was 32% before, and 51% during treatment, and the proportion of patients with >10% weight loss was 12% before, and 17% during treatment. After a median follow-up of 9.5 years (range, 0.1 – 15.4 years) weight loss before treatment was associated with decreased TTF, LRRFS, DMFS, cancer specific survival and OS in a multivariable analysis. However, weight loss during treatment was not associated with survival outcomes. Conclusions Weight loss before and during chemoradiation was commonly observed. Weight loss before but not during treatment was associated with worse survival.

A mechanical model for the failure of reconstructive breast implant surgery due to capsular contracture
Creators: name: Xiao, Yuqi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Capsular contracture is a pathological response to implant-based reconstructive breast surgery, where the ``capsule'' (tissue surrounding an implant) painfully thickens, contracts and deforms. It is known to affect breast-cancer survivors at higher rates than healthy women opting for cosmetic breast augmentation with implants. I model the early stages of capsular contracture based on stress-dependent recruitment of contractile and mechanosensitive cells to the implant site. I derive a continuum partial differential equations (PDE) model for the spatio-temporal evolution of cells and collagen densities away from the implant surface. Mechanical properties of the tissue are modelled with a linear viscoelastic stress-strain constitutive equation. A force balance equation relates stress at the tissue level and at a cell level. Various assumptions are investigated for linear versus saturating cell responses to stress and cell traction forces. The model is numerically simulated with the method of lines, coupled with finite differencing. My results point to specific risk factors for capsular contracture, and indicate how physiological parameters, as well as initial states (such as inflammation after surgery) contribute to patient susceptibility.

description: The FourStar galaxy evolution survey (ZFOURGE) is a 45 night legacy program with the FourStar near-infrared camera on Magellan and one of the most sensitive surveys to date. ZFOURGE covers a total of 400 arcmin2 in cosmic fields CDFS, COSMOS and UDS, overlapping CANDELS. We present photometric catalogs comprising >70,000 galaxies, selected from ultradeep K s -band detection images (25.5–26.5 AB mag, 5σ, total), and >80% complete to K s < 25.3–25.9 AB. We use 5 near-IR medium-bandwidth filters (J 1, J 2, J 3, H s , H l ) as well as broad-band K s at 1.05–2.16 μm to 25–26 AB at a seeing of ~0farcs5. Each field has ancillary imaging in 26–40 filters at 0.3–8 μm. We derive photometric redshifts and stellar population properties. Comparing with spectroscopic redshifts indicates a photometric redshift uncertainty σ z = 0.010, 0.009, and 0.011 in CDFS, COSMOS, and UDS. As spectroscopic samples are often biased toward bright and blue sources, we also inspect the photometric redshift differences between close pairs of galaxies, finding σ z,pairs = 0.01–0.02 at 1 < z < 2.5. We quantify how σ z,pairs depends on redshift, magnitude, spectral energy distribution type, and the inclusion of FourStar medium bands. σ z,pairs is smallest for bright, blue star-forming samples, while red star-forming galaxies have the worst σ z,pairs. Including FourStar medium bands reduces σ z,pairs by 50% at 1.5 < z < 2.5. We calculate star formation rates (SFRs) based on ultraviolet and ultradeep far-IR Spitzer/MIPS and Herschel/PACS data. We derive rest-frame U − V and V − J colors, and illustrate how these correlate with specific SFR and dust emission to z = 3.5. We confirm the existence of quiescent galaxies at z ~ 3, demonstrating their SFRs are suppressed by > ×15.

description: Chip-scale multimode optomechanical systems have unique benefits for sensing, metrology and quantum technologies relative to their single-mode counterparts. Slot-mode optomechanical crystals enable sideband resolution and large optomechanical couplings of a single optical cavity to two microwave-frequency mechanical modes. Still, previous implementations have been limited to nanobeam geometries, whose effective quantum cooperativity at ultralow temperatures is limited by their low thermal conductance. In this work, we design and experimentally demonstrate a two-dimensional mechanical-optical-mechanical (MOM) platform that dispersively couples a slow-light slot-guided photonic-crystal waveguide mode and two slow-sound $\sim 7$ GHz phononic wire modes localized in physically distinct regions. We first demonstrate optomechanical interactions in long waveguide sections, unveiling acoustic group velocities below 800 m/s, and then move on to mode-gap adiabatic heterostructure cavities with a tailored mechanical frequency difference. Through optomechanical spectroscopy, we demonstrate optical quality factors $Q \sim 10^5$, vacuum optomechanical coupling rates, $g_o/2π$, of 1.5 MHz and dynamical backaction effects beyond the single-mode picture. At larger power and adequate laser-cavity detuning, we demonstrate regenerative optomechanical oscillations involving a single mechanical mode, extending to both mechanical modes through modulation of the input laser drive at their frequency difference. This work constitutes an important advance towards engineering MOM systems with nearly degenerate mechanical modes as part of hybrid multipartite quantum systems.
Parlons du jeu : French immersion kindergarten teachers talking about play
Creators: name: Mueller, Anna Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Play is critical for children’s learning and general development. However, little guidance exists for French immersion kindergarten teachers about including play in their classrooms while teaching French. This study examined teachers’ descriptions of play, accounting for their use of play, and the challenges these teachers describe when using play. The research employed an online questionnaire with an optional follow-up semi-structured interview. The resulting data was analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. I generated four themes from my analysis: (1) that teachers saw free play as a way to teach social skills and build social connections, (2) as teachers advance in their careers, they decrease their control of free play, (3) teachers describe guided play as inefficient, and (4) teachers talk about play and meeting curricular goals as two separate and unrelated activities. Beyond the themes I have imposed on the data, I also note a significant discrepancy between individual teachers’ definitions of play. I discuss possible pathways for future research into student understandings of play, outdoor play in French immersion, guided play, and assessment practices. I conclude with implications for teacher learning, staffing, curriculum, assessment, and a common definition of play.

description: Depressive symptoms that are faced by women in the pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal periods are determined by a wide array of sociodemographic, psychological, and biological variables. The aim of our study was to identify factors that contribute to depressive problems at this stage of life. The study included 815 healthy Polish women aged 45–60 years. The survey part was conducted using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Neuroticism–Extroversion–Openness Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), and a self-developed questionnaire. Genetic analysis was also performed. Depressive symptoms were observed in 25.5% of participants. 70% of the women were postmenopausal. No statistically significant differences in the severity of depressive symptoms were demonstrated with regard to genetic variables (p > 0.05). Reproductive capacity (p < 0.001), employment (p < 0.001), and being married (p < 0.018) were found to reduce the incidence of depressive symptoms. The contribution of personality and anxiety as a trait to depressive symptoms varied. Conclusions: The factors predisposing pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women to depressive symptoms include lower education, lack of a life partner, unemployment, high anxiety, and neurotic personality. No evidence was found for the contribution of genetic factors to depressive symptoms in the examined women.

We demonstrate that for a canonical spectral triple over a closed spin manifold it recovers the torsion of the linear connection. We examine several spectral triples, including Hodge-de\,Rham, Einstein-Yang-Mills, almost-commutative two-sheeted space, conformally rescaled noncommutative tori, and quantum $SU(2)$ group, showing that the third one has a nonvanishing torsion if nontrivially coupled.

description: App reviews reflect various user requirements that can aid in planning maintenance tasks. Recently, proposed approaches for automatically classifying user reviews rely on machine learning algorithms. A previous study demonstrated that models trained on existing labeled datasets exhibit poor performance when predicting new ones. Therefore, a comprehensive labeled dataset is essential to train a more precise model. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that assists in augmenting labeled datasets by utilizing information extracted from an additional source, GitHub issues, that contains valuable information about user requirements. First, we identify issues concerning review intentions (bug reports, feature requests, and others) by examining the issue labels. Then, we analyze issue bodies and define 19 language patterns for extracting targeted information. Finally, we augment the manually labeled review dataset with a subset of processed issues through the Within-App, Within-Context, and Between-App Analysis methods. We conducted several experiments to evaluate the proposed approach. Our results demonstrate that using labeled issues for data augmentation can improve the F1-score to 6.3 in bug reports and 7.2 in feature requests. Furthermore, we identify an effective range of 0.3 to 0.7 for the auxiliary volume, which provides better performance improvements.
The equilibrium characteristics of aqueous cobalt and nickel mixtures with the extractant bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphonic acid.

description: In this work, binary solutions of cobalt and nickel in aqueous ammonium sulfate solutions were extracted using a simple shake-out technique with a mixed organic phase consisting of the extractant bis-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphonic acid (PC-88A), the modifier tributyl phosphate, and the diluent Esso Varsol DX3641. It was found that the optimum pH for the separation of cobalt and nickel was 5.0, and that the separation of the ions was a complex function of the porportion of cobalt and nickel in the equilibrium phases. The maximum metal loading of the organic phase, based on the population of dimer extractant complexes was approximately 73%. Two methods, used to describe the equilibrium extraction of two or more metal ions were compared namely, the Delta Y method and the Pseudo-Gamma approach. Each of these methods account for the non-ideal interactions between mixture components. Barclay's Pseudo-Gamma relationship was found to be simpler, and correlated the data very well.

description: Mobile phone subscriptions continue to increase across the world, with the electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by these devices, as well as by related technologies such as Wi-Fi and smart meters, now ubiquitous. This increase in use and consequent exposure to mobile communication (MC)-related EMF has led to concern about possible health effects that could arise from this exposure. Although much research has been conducted since the introduction of these technologies, uncertainty about the impact on health remains. The Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bioeffects Research (ACEBR) is a National Health and Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence that is undertaking research addressing the most important aspects of the MC-EMF health debate, with a strong focus on mechanisms, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and exposure dosimetry. This research takes as its starting point the current scientific status quo, but also addresses the adequacy of the evidence for the status quo. Risk communication research complements the above, and aims to ensure that whatever is found, it is communicated effectively and appropriately. This paper provides a summary of this ACEBR research (both completed and ongoing), and discusses the rationale for conducting it in light of the prevailing science.

description: Background: After a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, people not only have to cope with the physical aspects and common complications that require daily self-management, they are also faced with ongoing psychosocial challenges. Subsequently they find themselves having to navigate the health system to engage multidisciplinary supports; the combination of these factors often resulting in reduced health-related quality of life. To maintain optimal diabetes control, interventions need to incorporate psychosocial supports and a skill base for disease management. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate an 'Optimal Health Program' that adopts a person-centred approach and engages collaborative therapy to educate and support the psychosocial health of people diagnosed with type I or II diabetes. Methods: This prospective randomised controlled trial will include 166 people diagnosed with diabetes: 83 in the intervention (Optimal Health Program) and 83 in the control (usual care) group. Participants with type diabetes mellitus will be recruited through hospital outpatient clinics and diabetes community organisations. Participants in the intervention group will receive nine (8 + 1 booster session) sequential sessions, based on a structured treatment manual emphasising educational and psychosocial support self-efficacy and skills building. The primary outcome measures will be generalised self-efficacy (GSE) and health-related quality of life (AQoL-6D and EQ-5D). Secondary measures will be anxiety and depression (HADS), social and workplace functioning (WSAS), diabetes-related quality of life (DQoL), diabetes-related distress (PAID), and type of coping strategies (Brief COPE). In addition, a health economic cost analysis and process evaluations will be performed to assess the economic cost and efficacy of the program's operations, implementation and service delivery. Discussion: We envisage that the Optimal Health Program's emphasis on self-efficacy and self-management will provide participants with the skills and knowledge to achieve increased empowerment and independence in aspects of health, which in turn, will help participants deal more effectively with the physical and psychosocial complexities of diabetes.

description: Kagome magnets with diverse topological quantum responses are crucial for next-generation topological engineering. The anisotropic magnetism and band evolution induced by ferromagnetic phase transition (FMPT) is reported in a newly discovered titanium-based kagome ferromagnet S mTi3 Bi4, which features a distorted Ti kagome lattice and S m atomic zig-zag chains. Temperature-dependent resistivity, heat capacity, and magnetic susceptibility reveal a ferromagnetic ordering temperature Tc of 23.2 K. A large magnetic anisotropy, observed by applying the magnetic field along three crystallographic axes, identifies the b axis as the easy axis. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with first-principles calculations unveils the characteristic kagome motif, including the Dirac point at the Fermi level and multiple van Hove singularities. Notably, a band splitting and gap closing attributed to FMPT is observed, originating from the exchange coupling between S m 4 f local moments and itinerant electrons of the kagome Ti atoms, as well as the time-reversal symmetry breaking induced by the long-range ferromagnetic order. Considering the large in-plane magnetization and the evolution of electronic structure under the influence of ferromagnetic ordering, such materials promise to be a new platform for exploring the intricate electronic properties and magnetic phases based on the kagome lattice.

description: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a highly persistent, mobile, and bioaccumulative class of chemicals, of which emissions into the environment result in long-lasting contamination with high probability for causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. Within the European Biomonitoring Initiative HBM4EU, samples and data were collected in a harmonized way from human biomonitoring (HBM) studies in Europe to derive current exposure data across a geographic spread. We performed mixture risk assessments based on recent internal exposure data of PFASs in European teenagers generated in the HBM4EU Aligned Studies (dataset with N = 1957, sampling years 2014-2021). Mixture risk assessments were performed based on three hazard-based approaches: the Hazard Index (HI) approach, the sum value approach as used by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Relative Potency Factor (RPF) approach. The HI approach resulted in the highest risk estimates, followed by the RPF approach and the sum value approach. The assessments indicate that PFAS exposure may result in a health risk in a considerable fraction of individuals in the HBM4EU teenager study sample, thereby confirming the conclusion drawn in the recent EFSA scientific opinion. This study underlines that HBM data are of added value in assessing the health risks of aggregate and cumulative exposure to PFASs, assuch data are able to reflect exposure from different sources and via different routes. © 2022 The Authors

Hereby, the spectrally dependent second harmonic generation intensity splits into two branches, and an anticrossing is observed at $\sim$ 25 meV blue detuned from the bright neutral exciton. These observations are indicative of coherent quantum interference arising from strong two-photon light-matter interaction with an excitonic state that is dark for single photon interaction. The existence of the dark state is supported by engineering its relaxation to bright localized excitons, mediated by vibrational modes of a proximal nanobeam cavity. We show that two-photon light-matter interaction involving dark states has the potential to control relaxation pathways induced by nanostructuring the local environment. Moreover, our results indicate that dark excitons have significant potential for nonlinear quantum devices based on their nontrivial excitonic photophysics.

description: Mixtures of methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone are used as biocides in cosmetics, cleaning agents, and water-based paint. A biomonitoring method to evaluate exposure to these compounds was developed using N-methylmalonamic acid (NMMA), the main metabolite of both, methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone, as the exposure biomarker. First-morning void urine samples (N = 2078) of 3- to 17-year-old children and adolescents living in Germany were analysed for concentrations of NMMA in the population representative German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents GerES V (2014-2017). NMMA was quantified in almost all samples, with a geometric mean concentration of 6.245 My g/L (5.303 my g/gcrea) and a 95th percentile of 15.0 my g/L (12.6 ÎÌg/gcrea). Urinary concentrations could not be related to self-reported application of specific cleaning agents or personal care products, leaving potential, specific sources of exposure unrevealed as most products relevant for isothiazolinone exposure are used ubiquitously. For the first time, reference values can be derived for urinary NMMA for children and adolescents in Germany, facilitating a more substantiated exposure assessment. © 2020 Published by Elsevier GmbH.

description: Das Netzwerk Vulnerabilität, ein Zusammenschluss von 16 Bundesoberbehörden und -institutionen und einem wissenschaftlichem Konsortium, hat im Rahmen der Deutschen Anpassungsstrategie eine deutschlandweite Vulnerabilitätsanalyse für 15 Handlungsfelder durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse für das Handlungsfeld 'Menschliche Gesundheit´ zeigen, dass der Klimawandel, insbesondere Hitzeereignisse, bereits gegenwärtig erheblich die menschliche Gesundheit bedroht. Bei einem starken Klimawandel können Hitzebelastungen und Atembeschwerden durch bodennahes Ozon bereits bis Mitte des Jahrhunderts die menschliche Gesundheit häufiger und stärker als gegenwärtig gefährden. Durch die Ausbreitung beziehungsweise Etablierung von Überträgern von Krankheitserregern wird gegenwärtig wie in Zukunft die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Auftreten von bestimmten Infektionskrankheiten erhöht. Bis Ende des Jahrhunderts können die Gefährdungen für die menschliche Gesundheit durch steigende Temperaturen noch deutlich zunehmen.

description: The network vulnerability, an association of 16 federal public authorities and a scientific consortium, has developed a national vulnerability assessment for the 15 sectors of the German National Adaptation Strategy. The results for the human health sector show that climate change, especially heat events, already significantly threatens human health. In case of a strong climate change heat effects and breathing difficulties caused by ozone will threaten human health in the middle of the century more often and intensive than today. The likelihood of certain infectious diseases will increase with increasing expansion or establishment of the arthropod or rodent vectors of these pathogens. Until the end of the century will the dangers of human health increase further because of rising temperatures.

How does early life stress affect adult behaviour in mice?

description: Background Adverse childhood experiences affect a significant portion of the global population. Children who endure traumatic events often develop maladaptive cognitive behaviours that can seriously impact their well-being. Notably, these events frequently coincide with infantile amnesia, a developmental period during which crucial memory consolidation structures, such as the hippocampus, are still maturing. This overlap raises an intriguing question: how can a “forgotten” memory continue to shape behaviour? To investigate this, we utilized a mouse model to explore the effects of early life stress (ELS). Methods We used C57BL/6 mice to investigate how fear conditioning (FC) and/or ELS influence behaviour during infantile amnesia. In our protocol, the mice underwent contextual fear conditioning at postnatal day (P) 17 or P30, receiving 15 shocks over 30 minutes while exposed to a tone and an odour. Control mice were placed in the same chambers but received no shocks. Memory recall was assessed one day later and again 30 to 40 days after the conditioning. For our ELS paradigm, we implemented a “scarcity bedding” model, where mice were housed in cages containing only 100 ml of bedding for either 7 days (P3–P10) or 13 days (P3–P16). To evaluate anxiety-like behaviour, we used tests including the open field, elevated plus maze, light/dark box, novelty-suppressed feeding, and social interaction tests. Results We found that mice displayed short-term, but not long-term, recall of the fear event when conditioning took place at P17, indicating that infantile amnesia was active. However, a shift in behaviour did not emerge until scarcity of bedding was introduced. Under these combined stressors, mice showed more “risky” behaviours—rather than typical anxiety—during the elevated plus maze and social interaction tests. Additionally, males appeared more susceptible to these effects. Conclusion Our findings indicate that anxiety-like behaviours may lie on a spectrum and that combining chronic and acute stress can reveal less recognized phenotypes, such as risk-taking behaviour. These results highlight the complexity of how ELS influences adult behaviour and underscore the need to examine the diverse ways stress can manifest later in life.

description: Le but de cette étude était de déterminer la relation entre l'enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), le type de personnalité et la condition physique cez des recrues de la police. L'étude visait aussi la vérification de l'effet d'un effort physique maximal sur l'enzyme MAO. Pour ce faire, 19 sujets de sexe masculin en bonne condition physique ont complète le questionnaire sur la personnalité de Eysenck (EPQ) ainsi que le test I-5 de Eysenck. Ils ont ensuite exécute un test progressif sur tapis roulant précédé et suivi d'un prélèvement sanguin. Les résultats indiquent qu'il existe une relation inverse significative entre la MAO et le trait de psychotisme. Aucune relation significative n'a été observée entre l'activité de la MAO et la condition physique. De plus, il semble que l'effort physique ne provoque pas de changement significatif au niveau de la MAO. L'activiste de la MAO mesurée chez les recrues se trouvait dans l'intervalle des valeurs normales.

description: Background: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and distress, and often profoundly affects the quality of life of stroke survivors and their carers. With the support of carers, many stroke survivors are returning to live in the community despite the presence of disability and ongoing challenges. The sudden and catastrophic changes caused by stroke affects the mental, emotional and social health of both stroke survivors and carers. The aim of this study is to evaluate a Stroke and Carer Optimal Health Program (SCOHP) that adopts a person-centred approach and engages collaborative therapy to educate, support and improve the psychosocial health of stroke survivors and their carers. Methods: This study is a prospective randomised controlled trial. It will include a total of 168 stroke survivors and carers randomly allocated into an intervention group (SCOHP) or a control group (usual care). Participants randomised to the intervention group will receive nine (8 + 1 booster) sessions guided by a structured workbook. The primary outcome measures for stroke survivors and carers will be health-related quality of life (AQoL-6D and EQ-5D) and self-efficacy (GSE). Secondary outcome measures will include: anxiety and depression (HADS); coping (Brief COPE); work and social adjustment (WSAS); carer strain (MCSI); carer satisfaction (CASI); and treatment evaluation (TEI-SF and CEQ). Process evaluation and a health economic cost analysis will also be conducted. Discussion: We believe that this is an innovative intervention that engages the stroke survivor and carer and will be significant in improving the psychosocial health, increasing independence and reducing treatment-related costs in this vulnerable patient-carer dyad. In addition, we expect that the intervention will assist carers and stroke survivors to negotiate the complexity of health services across the trajectory of care and provide practical skills to improve self-management.
