description: The present study aims to explore this new field of research. We conducted a case study using the Serious Game MetaVals. Results of the experience show no significant differences in game performance among individuals with different TP. Furthermore, students with a future oriented TP foresee the future usefulness of the game compared to those focused on the present. These results might be useful for instructional designers and teachers, outlining the benefits, in terms of knowledge acquisition, of using GBL activities that could help different TP profiles to equally engage and better perform in the learning processes.

Detection and severity assessment of aortic stenosis using machine learning
Creators: name: Ahmadi Amiri, Seyedeh Neda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular cardiac disease that results in restricted motion and calcification of the aortic valve (AV). AS severity is currently assessed by expert cardiologists using Doppler measurements from echocardiography (echo). However, this method limits the assessment of AS to hospitals with access to expert cardiologists and comprehensive echo service. This thesis explores the feasibility of using deep neural network (DNN) for AS detection and severity classification based solely on two-dimensional echocardiographic data. While several machine learning (ML) frameworks have been developed for echo diagnosis and other medical applications, most of them rely on black-box models with low trustworthiness, and they cannot be trained effectively due to the scarcity of training data. However, a model’s explanability and generalizability are essential for clinician adoption. Therefore, a model should be able to capture critical information in both spatial and temporal dimensions of echo videos and provide explanations to support its decision. This thesis proposes frameworks that enhance the state-of-the-art by offering explanability and accurate assessment from echo videos, making ML more practical in echo examination. The first proposed framework aims to compare well-known video models in ML literature for detection and severity assessment of AS. In addition, we leverage semi-supervised learning to fine-tune model weights with unlabeled data. In the second framework, we propose a spatio-temporal architecture that effectively combines both anatomical features and motion of the AV for AS severity classification. Our model can identify the frames that are most informative towards the AS diagnosis and learns phases of the heart cycle without any supervision and frame-level annotations. Furthermore, our method addresses common problems in training deep networks with clinical ultrasound data, such as a low signal-to-noise ratio and frequently uninformative frames. Finally, we address the issue of explanability by incorporating two prototypical layers into existing architectures, enabling interpretable predictions based on the similarity between input and learned prototypes. This approach offers clinically relevant evidence by highlighting markers like calcification and restricted movement of AV leaflets, aiding in more accurate screening examinations.

description: The coal-derived energy can potentially be explored by utilizing the low-grade coals after beneficiation for power sector application on a long-term basis. However, beneficiating the low-grade coals of Indian origin to produce low-ash coal by physical or physicochemical techniques is very challenging due to their complex mineralogical nature. In this context, chemical beneficiation or leaching has proved to be an effective method. But, the high cost of chemicals associated with the leaching process limits its commercial practice. An in-depth investigation is, therefore, needed to optimize the chemical consumption so that the requirement of the chemicals can be minimized. Herein, a microwave-assisted leaching study was investigated on Indian low-grade coal to produce low-ash coal suitable for power generation. The raw coal and its flotation product were pretreated under optimized microwave pretreatment time (5 min) and subject to leaching at varying alkali concentrations. Among all the combinations, the leaching of microwave pretreated floated coal showed a higher degree of demineralization (69.57%) together with increased carbon content (55.48%) and gross calorific value (6635 kcal/kg) in its leached product. The leached products were also analyzed using different characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and Thermogravimetric analyzer.

description: Changes in brain structure and cognitive function are a natural part of aging; however, in some cases these changes are more severe resulting in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD). Evidence is mounting to show that neuroinflammation is an underlying risk factor for neurodegenerative disease progression. Age-related neuroinflammation does not appear to occur in isolation and is part of increased systemic inflammation, which may in turn be triggered by changes in the gut associated with aging. These include an increase in gut permeability, which allows immune triggering compounds into the body, and alterations in gut microbiota composition leading to dysbiosis. It therefore follows that, treatments that can maintain healthy gut function may reduce inflammation and protect against, or improve, symptoms of age-associated neurodegeneration. The aim of this mini review was to evaluate whether probiotics could be used for this purpose. The analysis concluded that there is preliminary evidence to suggest that specific probiotics may improve cognitive function, particularly in those with MCI; however, this is not yet convincing and larger, multilocation, studies focus on the effects of probiotics alone are required. In addition, studies that combine assessment of cognition alongside analysis of inflammatory biomarkers and gut function are needed. Immense gains could be made to the quality of life of the aging population should the hypothesis be proven to be correct.

Essays in urban and labor economics
Creators: name: Van Der List, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The first chapter studies the distribution of economic activity across space and the effects of place-based policies. I develop a model of the location choice of new establishments incorporating taxes, monopsonistic labor markets, and spillovers. Estimates using administrative data from Germany indicate that establishments generally have a preference for lower taxes, as well a preference for lower worker outside options which enable establishments to pay lower wages. The degree to which various types of productivity spillovers matter in the location decision of establishments varies greatly between industrial sectors. I also quantify the effects of a counterfactual place-based policy and find that commuting zones display highly heterogeneous wage and economic activity responses to the same policy due to differing degrees of labor market power across space. In the second chapter, we study the extent to which persistent elevation in the involuntary part-time employment rate following the Great Recession indicated labor market slack in the United States. The fraction of the US workforce identified as involuntary part-time workers rose to new highs during the US Great Recession and came down only slowly in its aftermath. We assess the determinants of involuntary part-time work using an empirical framework that accounts for business cycle effects and persistent structural features of the labor market. We conduct regression analyses using state level panel data for the years 2003–16. The results indicate that structural factors, notably shifts in the industry composition of employment, have held the incidence of involuntary part-time work slightly more than 1 percentage point above its prerecession level. In the final chapter, I use the 1996, 2001, 2004, and 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation to investigate the influence earner status plays on the response to a spouse's job separation. I find that conditional on gender, there are still large remaining differences in behavior based on earner status. Conditional on earner status, there are few remaining gender differences on the intensive margin, but clear differences on the extensive margin. As the equivalence between gender and earner status continues to erode, examining earner status will become even more important.

description: This research aims to design, preparation, and characterization of molecularly imprinted polymeric particles embedded-cryogels for the selective removal of potentially genotoxic impurities 2-aminopyridine and 5-amino-2-chloropyridine in model active pharmaceutical ingredients piroxicam and tenoxicam. For this purpose, aminopyridines imprinted poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methacryloylamido benzotriazole-Cu(II)) particles were prepared and embedded into the cryogel structure. The characterization of the prepared composite cryogels was carried out by FT-IR, swelling tests, and SEM analyses. The results confirmed that the target aminopyridines binding increased with increasing initial concentration up to 1.5 mg mL−1 which is a saturation point. The highest binding of potentially genotoxic impurities was obtained at pH 7.0 and the maximum binding capacity values of the prepared cryogels for 2-aminopyridine and 5-amino-2-chloropyridine were achieved as 93.2 mg g−1 and 81.1 mg g−1, respectively. The imprinted particles embedded-cryogels displayed great affinity toward the target aminopyridines in model active pharmaceutical ingredients piroxicam and tenoxicam. The reusability studies confirmed that the prepared molecularly imprinted particles embedded-cryogels can be successfully reused without a considerable reduce in the binding of target potentially genotoxic impurities to the cryogels after 10 binding-desorption cycles.

Climate variability and stress exposure alter evolutionary responses across populations of Mimulus cardinalis
Creators: name: Branch, Haley Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: We are just beginning to understand population-level responses to extreme climatic events. Populations of the same species from differing climatic regions can have different traits and adaptations that have locally evolved, and this can alter their evolutionary trajectories when exposed to similar selection pressures. My thesis examines how populations of Mimulus (Erythranthe) cardinalis (scarlet monkeyflower) from historically different climates respond to a severe drought, using a resurrection approach to grow ancestral (pre-drought) and descendant (peak-drought) individuals in a common environment and growing them in either wet or dry treatments. In chapter two, I report that populations in the north (historically wetter and less variable) did not show evolutionary changes at the macro-morphological scale (e.g., date of flowering, specific leaf area), while southern populations (historically drier and more variable) evolved toward trait values that promote dehydration avoidance. In chapter three, I find that macro-morphological changes (or lack thereof) can be better understood by examining more cryptic micro-morphological alterations in leaf architecture and physiology. Here, northern populations evolved greater plasticity in mesophyll composition, stomatal density and assimilation rate, trending toward dehydration avoidance and potentially allowing macro-morphological traits to remain stabilized. Southern populations began with trait values that were more drought avoidant and evolved further along this trajectory, resulting in a trade-off for photosynthesis under wet conditions. Finally, differences in evolutionary trajectories between northern and southern populations can also be attributed to phenotypic legacies from non-genetic inheritance. In chapter four, I grew northern and southern populations for 3 generations under either wet or dry treatments to assess epigenetic stress memory. Northern populations exhibited greater epigenetic-attributed plasticity than the southern populations, but the southern populations evolved epigenetic plasticity, which likely assisted in vegetative avoidance of drought. Thus, although at the macro-scale northern populations did not show a clear trend, anatomical features and grandparental histories show both regions rapidly evolve toward dehydration avoidance and non-genetically respond to drought stress, but through different mechanisms. These results indicate that northern populations are becoming more like ancestral southern populations, while southern populations might be nearing the edge of their adaptive capacity.

Gulf-American Coordination in Confronting the Houthis: A Political and Economic Approach
Creators: name: Alfatesh, Fahd
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The geopolitical landscape of the Arab region is rapidly evolving, with the Houthis in Yemen emerging as a significant factor in regional security dynamics. Their repeated attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and vital Gulf infrastructure have intensified the need for Gulf-American coordination to counter this growing threat. This research explores the strategic, political, and economic dimensions of this coordination, focusing on shared interests, potential undisclosed financial support, and military strategies. It also examines the feasibility of using advanced weaponry, such as the GBU-57 bomb, against Houthi fortifications while assessing the political and diplomatic challenges involved. The study concludes that Gulf funding for U.S. airstrikes, possibly influenced by the Trump administration's economic approach to foreign policy, may serve as a critical tool in neutralizing the Houthi threat. However, long-term success hinges on integrating military actions within a broader strategy aimed at stabilizing Yemen and managing regional power dynamics effectively

description: Icing of turbofan aircraft engines can occur when aircraft fly through atmospheric conditions with large concentrations of ice crystals. Under such conditions, ice accumulations of substantial thickness can develop inside the engine, causing a blockage of the flow path and reducing engine power. When shedding, the ice accretions impact the downstream engine parts, causing damage and possibly a complete engine shutdown, threatening flight airworthiness and safety. Manufacturers are highly interested in robust numerical tools to predict engine icing. However, various fundamental processes involved in ice crystal icing are not yet completely understood, and thus, the existing numerical tools lack accuracy. The present work is devoted to advancing the understanding of particle impact processes relevant to ice crystal icing. For three topics, separate experimental setups and methodologies are developed, allowing investigation of the involved physical phenomena beyond the state of the art.
Experimental investigations include the impact and fragmentation process of spherical ice particles. A small amount of residual ice fragments adheres to the impact target, which is quantified precisely for the first time. Employing an existing hydrodynamic model, characteristic length scales are proposed to estimate the adhering residual ice mass for sub-freezing target temperatures. Moreover, the size distribution of the fragment cloud is studied, which is of vital importance for several processes involved in engine icing. The obtained distributions are fitted with a power law, enabling a comparison with numerical simulations of generic brittle fracture and ice fracture processes observed on large scales. Furthermore, the ice particle impact onto wetted walls is investigated, focusing on the amount of energy dissipated during the collision. Existing models are modified and combined, explaining the observed low particle rebound velocity with a large dissipation during the plastic deformation of an ice particle. A dynamic strength measurement methodology is designed to investigate the material properties of ice accretions. Ice layers generated in a wind tunnel are studied and compared to artificial ice layers of various compositions generated in a laboratory environment. With the gained knowledge, ice layers with a realistic strength can be generated in the laboratory, enabling dedicated studies on ice layer erosion in the future. In summary, the present work contributes to a deeper understanding of ice particle impact phenomena relevant to aircraft engine icing, which may finally help to improve the accuracy of comprehensive numerical tools.

description: Over the last four decades much progress has been made towards recognising causes of global amphibian declines, but knowledge of fine scale drivers, particularly for specialised species, remains poor, inhibiting conservation effectiveness. The case of the Table Mountain Ghost frog (Heleophryne rosei) provides an example of this, listed as Critically Endangered for the last 15 years with limited conservation actions identified due to a lack of information about threat mechanisms and magnitude of declines. To address this, we investigated H. rosei tadpole occupancy dynamics over three years in stream pools on Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, the only locality where this species occurs. Tadpole spatiotemporal distribution was examined as a function of abiotic and biotic factors to quantify habitat requirements, rank threats, and identify conservation actions. Heleophryne rosei tadpole occupancy was negatively correlated with levels of fine sediments (silt and sand), which embed larger substrates and decrease the diversity of benthic microhabitat. Increased abundance of these fine sediments was also associated with higher extinction probabilities. Localised habitat degradation from hiking paths, alien vegetation, and flow manipulation were identified as the primary threats to this species, increasing the sources of fine sediments and inhibiting the fluvial systems ability to effectively flush these sediments out. Our results demonstrate the importance of pore space refugia for mountain headwater stream-adapted amphibians and provides the required data to inform management decisions for this Critically Endangered species.

description: Kategorisierungen spielen im Schulalltag eine Rolle, der Einsatz und Gebrauch von Kategorien werden in der De-/Kategorisierungsdiskussion schon länger in Beztug auf ihre Effekte reflektiert. In der vorliegenden Studie wird auf Grundlage eines differenzierungstheoretischen Kategorienverständnisses gefragt, wie in studentischen Äußerungen nach einem Praktikum in als inklusiv bezeichneten Schulklassen welche Kategorien oder kategorialen - z. T. auch eigenwilligen - Bezeichnungen aktualisiert bzw. hervorgebracht werden und welche diskutsive Funktion dieser Kategoriengebrauch übernimmt. Auf Grundlage diskursanalytisch ausgewerteter Interviews werden im Ergebnis drei Figuren herausgearbeitet, die Schwierigkeiten in den Zuordnungen von Schüler*innen von Schüler*innen zu kategorialen Bezeichnungen zeigen. Indem von der Lehrkraft zur Verfügung gestelltes Wissen und eigene Beobachtungen geschildert werden, wird versucht, diese Schwierigkeit durch die Herstellung Eindeutigkeiten in Zuordnungen zu bearbeiten. Die Ergebnisse werden schließlich produktiv für Anschlüsse zur Thematisierung unterrichtlicher und schulischer Kategorisierungen und Differenzierungen in der Lehrer*innenbildung gewendet. Abstract Categorisations play a role in everyday school life. But also the deployment and use of categories have long been reflected in the discussion on (de-)categorisation with regard to their effects. In the present study, on the basis of a difference-theoretical understanding of categories, it is asked in student utterances, how which categories or categorical – partly idiosyncratic – designations are produced after an internship in school classes designated as inclusive. Another focus was also what discursive function this use of categories assumes. On the basis of discourse-analytically evaluated interviews, three discursive figures are elaborated in the results, which show difficulties in the assignments of pupils to categorical designations. By describing the knowledge provided by the teacher and the teacher's own observations, an attempt is made to work on these difficulties by creating unambiguities in classifications. Finally, the results are used productively for connections to the thematization of classroom and school categorisations and differentiations in teacher education.

description: The aim of this study was a detailed examination of the synthesis of 3-methyleneisoindolinones comprising various functional groups. Methylmagnesuim bromide and PTSA was employed for the synthesis of these compounds. A wide range of 3-methyleneisoindolinones were afforded in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, 3-methyleneisoindolinones was also obtained by an efficient microwave method. The frame work of these derivatives was constructed from 2- acetylbenzoic acid and various primary amines via two-component reaction. The obtained compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C-NMR and IR and elemental analysis.

description: Environmental DNA metabarcoding (eDNA) is a rapidly emerging field in which high-throughput sequencing is used to catalogue the biodiversity of ecosystems through the amplification of DNA extracted from environmental samples (water, air, faeces and soil). Although eDNA has strong links to DNA barcoding, the molecular marker most often used to detect vertebrates in eDNA studies is a portion of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA) and not the standard cytochrome oxidase I (COI) marker used in traditional DNA barcoding. eDNA methods rely on a comprehensive reference library to link sequence data to species, which are often lacking in hyper-diverse countries such as South Africa. In this study, we review the present state of DNA barcode reference databases for both 12S rRNA and COI for freshwater fish (native and introduced) found in South African aquatic systems. Analysis of DNA records available on GenBank and the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) revealed incomplete records of the examined taxa for both markers. Our findings showed that 34 species, 6 genera and 0 families of native South African freshwater fish lack COI barcode records, while 86 species, 22 genera and 8 families lack 12S rRNA records. Unlike the native freshwater fish, the non-native fish all had barcode records available for both COI and 12S rRNA. Producing comprehensive reference libraries for both markers is an important first step in developing an eDNA protocol for the non-invasive monitoring of native and non-native freshwater fish in South Africa.

description: Oxy-coal combustion is the most promising technology for the reduction of greenhouse gases from pulverized coal-fired power plants. Oxy-coal combustion employs recirculated flue gas mainly consisting of CO2 and water vapor as a diluent. Thus, the pulverized coal particles are surrounded and burned under steam rich atmosphere. The addition of H2O would have a significant impact on the combustion characteristics of oxy-coal combustion. The chemical and physical properties of steam are different than the CO2, replacement of CO2 with steam will alter heat capacity, gasification, and radiation properties considerably. The present article numerically compares ideal dry recycle oxy-coal combustion (0% H2O) with wet recycle oxy-coal (10-50% H2O) and oxy-steam combustion (H2O replaces whole CO2 from oxidant) in terms of flow field, temperature distribution, oxidizer distribution, radiative heat transfer, char consumption, and species concentration. Higher flame temperatures under enriched steam oxy-coal combustion cases were found due to lower volume heat capacity of H2O than CO2. Steam enrichment also enhanced char gasification reaction, which has affected temperature distribution and incident radiation profile inside the combustion chamber. Peak temperature obtained under oxy-steam case is around 10% higher than ideal dry recycle case (0% H2O) and 2-5% higher than the wet oxy-coal combustion cases having 50-10% H2O in the oxidizer.
