Irrevocable ties and forgotten ancestry : the legacy of colonial intermarriage for descendents of mixed ancestry
Creators: name: Dertien, Kim S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The identities of mixed Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal descendents in British Columbia is as varied as it is complex. In this paper I examine what caused some people of mixed Native and non-Native ancestry not to identify as Aboriginal while others did. The point of fracture for those who identify with their Aboriginal origins and those who do not can be traced to a specific time in our history. More importantly, specific variables were instrumental in causing that divergence of identity, spurred by a pervasive social stigma in colonial society. For many of mixed ancestry, the disassociation from their Aboriginal identity led to generations of silence and denial and eventually to a 'complete disappearance of race'. It was a deliberate breeding out of cultural identity through assimilative ideology and actions in order to conform to European norms. Determining what factors caused this divergence of identity for mixed-descendents entails considering why many Aboriginal women married non-Native partners in B.C. during the mid-19th century, how intermarriage affected identity formation for offspring, and what the multi-generational effects have been on the identities of mixed descendents. Today, this leaves a dilemma for those in-between who are eligible for status, and for those who are not but who choose to reconnect with, acknowledge and learn more of their ancestry. Both assertions of First Nations identity and choices to reconnect with a First Nations heritage while maintaining a non-Native identity, challenge the assumed inevitability of assimilation, and the federal government's continuing reluctance to understand the cultural significance of identification as 'Indian'.

description: Short-range ordering (SRO) in multi-principal element alloys influences material properties such as strength and corrosion. While some degree of SRO is expected at equilibrium, predicting the kinetics of its formation is challenging. We present a simplified isothermal concentration-wave (CW) model to estimate an effective relaxation time of SRO formation. Estimates from the CW model agree to within a factor of five with relaxation times obtained from kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations when above the highest ordering instability temperature. The advantage of the CW model is that it only requires mobility and thermodynamic parameters, which are readily obtained from alloy mobility databases and Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations, respectively. The simple parameterization of the CW model and its analytical nature make it an attractive tool for the design of processing conditions to promote or suppress SRO in multicomponent alloys.

Dynamic changes in haematopiotic stem cells after myocardial infarction
Creators: name: Elmestiri, Mostafa Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Objective Increases in the number of CD34+ stem cells and progenitor cells in blood and infarcted areas after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are a documented phenomenon. However, no study has yet reported on the dynamic changes in specific populations of adult stem cells, such as c-kit +Lin- cells or ckit + Lin - Sca1 + (KLS cells), following AMI. This study investigated the dynamic changes in these cells in multiple systems/organs following MI in mice. Methods The C57BU6J mice received either no surgery (normal control, n=6) or surgical ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery to create AMI (n=24). On day-1 (n=7), -3 (n=5), -6 (n=6), and -12 (n=6) after AMI, mononuclear cells were isolated from theblood, spleen, and bone marrow, and stained with Lineage-PEcy7, c-kit-PE, and Sca1-APC antibodies. The c-kit +Lin - cell and KLS cell populations in the mononuclear cells were analyzed by FACS flowcytometry. Results The pattern of changes in the c-kit + Lin - cells was very similar to that in the KLS cells in the bone marrow, circulating blood, and spleen following AMI. There was a significant increase in these cells on day-3 in the bone marrow (c-kit +Lin- cells: 1.470 ± 0.094% vs control 1.127 ± 0.019%, and KLS cells: 0.365 ± 0.012 % vs control 0.1848 ± 0.019%, p<0.05), which then slowly declined from day-6 to -12. In the blood, these cells, particularly the KLS cells, decreased slightly from day-1 to -12. On day-3, -6, and -12 the cells increased continuously and significantly in the spleen, (on day 3, c-kit +Lin-cells: 0.253 ± 0.0107 % vs control 0.1305 ± 0.014 %; it was 0.3212 ± 0.028 % on day-6). (on day-6 KLS cells: 0.1078 ± 0.076 % vs control 0.0425 ± 0.0064 % while on day 12 it was 0.1174 ± 0.035 % p<0.05). Conclusion This study provides for the first time the longest observation of the dynamic changes of specific sub-groups of adult stem cells (c-kit +Lin- cells and KLS cells) in multiple systems following AMI. The study demonstrates that AMI results in significant changes, or mobilization, of these cells in the bone marrow, spleen, and blood. Significant and continuous accumulation of the cells in the spleen occurs following AMI, despite the decreased level of the cells in the blood. The role of the spleen in stem cell mobilization after AMI is unclear and requires further investigation.

Model-Free Active Exploration in Reinforcement Learning

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We study the problem of exploration in Reinforcement Learning and present a novel model-free solution. We adopt an information-theoretical viewpoint and start from the instance-specific lower bound of the number of samples that have to be collected to identify a nearly-optimal policy. Deriving this lower bound along with the optimal exploration strategy entails solving an intricate optimization problem and requires a model of the system. In turn, most existing sample optimal exploration algorithms rely on estimating the model. We derive an approximation of the instance-specific lower bound that only involves quantities that can be inferred using model-free approaches. Leveraging this approximation, we devise an ensemble-based model-free exploration strategy applicable to both tabular and continuous Markov decision processes. Numerical results demonstrate that our strategy is able to identify efficient policies faster than state-of-the-art exploration approaches

(Figs. 4–5, 13–15, 23, 31, 36, 37, 39, Table 1)
Notes on distribution and variation. Until now the species (Fig. 4–5) was recorded only from GSMNP and Dade County, Georgia (type locality of the species, Barr 1995). Additional material greatly enlarges the known range of this species and the following records are new to the appropriate states and counties: ALABAMA: DeKalb Co., DeSoto State Park; Marion Co., 5mi SW Hackleburg; Morgan Co., Newsome Sinks; Lawrence Co., Bankhead NF; and MISSISSIPPI: Tishomingo Co., Natchez Trace Pkwy., several localities. Across the range an obvious tendency of microsculpture reduction is evident from east to west. The Smokies population of A. steevesi possesses well-developed microsculpture across the pronotum and head (except two paramedian patches characteristic for the group), thus presenting a typical appearance for loweae - group species. Specimens from the type locality are characterized by the reduction of microsculpture on the disc of the pronotum, but the head still bears distinct microsculpture. Among southwestern populations microsculpture is absent from the pronotum and mostly absent from the head; visible only along the frontal furrows and along the sides of the head. In addition, in this species the form of the apical part of the median lobe changes from east to west. Males from the type locality possess a rectangular enlargement of the median lobe wall on one side of the apical orifice, with a small tooth on the side extending towards the apex (Fig. 13– 14). The same enlargement of the wall in specimens to the east of the type locality (from the Smokies) extends down the apex more gently and has no tooth along the margin (Fig.15). Populations of the species are consistent in the conformation of the median lobe across broad areas without intergrades insofar as currently known. The Smokies population is consistent in the conformation of the median lobe from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center (North Carolina) to the Chilhowee Mountains (North Carolina). The population from Georgia is consistent in morphological details at least to Lawrence County, Alabama. Males from there possess all the important characters of the median lobe of the specimens from the type locality, including the characteristic small denticle on the lateral wall extending towards the apex. Additional material is needed to clarify whether the Smokies and Georgia-Mississippi populations of A. steevesi represent isolated populations or the limits of a continuous patchwork of populations.

The chalice and the cup : the changing role of wine in the High Middle Ages
Creators: name: Goosen, Johanna Maureen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis explores the absence of the chalice in the Christian ritual of the Eucharisti n the thirteenth century. The absence of the chalice in the ritual indicates the absence of wine. In an interdisciplinary approach, this study integrates the historiographies of viticulture as well as of the Christian liturgy to answer the question: why did wine disappear from the Eucharist in the high Middle Ages? It is specifically focused on the northern regions of France, as this region is understudied in terms of viticulture. An exploration of the historiographies of viticulture and liturgy shows that they are segregated. Liturgical scholarship is largely theological in character. Any explanation for the absence of the chalice offered only refers to sacred trends. The historiography of viticulture is either strictly geographic and economic in character, or strictly cultural. Both strands of historiography are teleological in that they work towards the modern cultural, economic, or geographic importance of wine. By problematizing and integrating these distinct historiographies, is it possible to paint a fuller picture of the change in the Eucharist. Closely tied to the rise of towns and town culture, wine grew in expense and status. Also in this urban setting, wine became an important part of drinking culture, with a close connection to secular life. At the same time, concern for the spiritual purity of the ritual was growing. The belief in the real presence of Christ in the elements of the Eucharist was part of this growing spirituality. Wine was not only closely connected with impious lay practices, but its biblical symbolism was also ambivalent. These factors pushed the laity and the Church away from using wine in the Eucharist. At the same time, the principle of concomitance and the veneration of the host pulled people towards the use of bread in the ritual. By explaining more completely the absence of the chalice in the thirteenth century, this thesis aims to show the broader implications of this narrow doctrinal issue as well as to underscore the value of an approach that brings together separate historiographical traditions.
Mothers with arthritis : experiences in the stories of mothering
Creators: name: Del Fabro, Linda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Motherhood has been described as an identity, a role, and a way of participating in life (Arendell, 2000; Farber, 2004). Motherhood has also been described as 'work', the care taking, nurturing and teaching of children (Francis-Connolly, 2000). Mothers with arthritis have reported difficulty in the tasks of parenting and household work (Allaire et al., 1991; Backman, Kennedy, Chalmers & Singer, 2004; Barlow, Cullen, Foster, Harrison & Wade, 1999; Grant, Cullen & Barlow, 2000; Reisine, Grady, Goodenow & Fifield, 1998), however, we know little about how a mother experiences these challenges. While the subjective experience of being a mother and having a disability is intrinsically linked to participation, health and social interaction (Farber, 2004), research has not been conducted on how mothers with arthritis experience mothering in the presence of arthritis, and how this experience affects their participation, identity and social interaction. This narrative research study asks "How is being a mother and doing motherhood activities affected by your arthritis?" Study objectives include: 1) Describe mothers' experiences of nurturing, teaching and caring for their children. 2) Describe how mothers understand and explain the effect of arthritis on their role of mother. 3) Describe whether or not this understanding changes how mothers participate and interact in their community. Narrative inquiry was used to explore the experiences of eight married mothers with inflammatory arthritis who have at least one child (aged 0-18) living at home. Purposive sampling allowed representation of families from different communities, with children of different ages. Data collection included two in-depth interviews, participant observation, document review, and fine art painting. Data was coded and analyzed using narrative inquiry techniques (Coffey & Atkinson, 1996; Riessman, 1993; Sandelowski, 1991). Overarching storylines are presented as narratives that describe the mother's experiences of identifying with the role of mother, participation, fatigue and the social context in which mothering occurs. This study contributes to the sparse body of literature on the impact of arthritis on participation in maternal practices and social interaction, informing health professionals about the experience of mothering with arthritis.

description: This study presents a computer vision approach aimed at detecting snow on sidewalks and pavements to reduce winter-related fall injuries, especially among elderly and visually impaired individuals. Leveraging fine-tuned VGG-19 and ResNet50 convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the research focuses on identifying snow presence in pavement images. The dataset comprises 98 images evenly split between snowy and snow-free conditions, evaluated with a separate test set using the F1 score and accuracy metrics. This work builds upon existing research by employing fine-tuned CNN architectures to accurately detect snow on pavements from smartphone-captured images. The methodology incorporates transfer learning and model ensembling techniques to integrate the best predictions from both the VGG19 and ResNet50 architectures. The study yields accuracy and F1 scores of 81.8% and 81.7%, respectively, showcasing the potential of computer vision in addressing winter-related hazards for vulnerable populations.

title: Decolonial perspectives on nonviolence: Building inclusive learning communities in Chile through a participatory approach
Creators: name: Bacquet Quiroga, Gaston Esteban
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: My thesis addresses the question of how nonviolence approaches and perspectives might equip Chilean teachers to deal with rising levels of classroom violence expressed in intolerance and discrimination towards members of marginalized communities. Nonviolence has had important historical successes in achieving social change in different cultural contexts, and yet it remained unexplored in Chile. In this thesis, I argue that the study and practice of nonviolence can provide a sustainable path to address existing direct, cultural and structural violence in Chilean classrooms. Drawing from a wide scope of nonWestern and decolonial philosophical practices, ranging from Buddhism and other international wisdom traditions to intercultural perspectives influenced by cosmopolitanism, as well as the work of Western nonviolence advocates and scholars, I engaged students on a teacher training degree in studying and practicing nonviolence. A series of participatory workshops with students from two Chilean universities was conducted to explore the relationship between violence and inequality and the impact of nonviolent action to promote equality and inclusiveness in their classrooms. The research project also provided an opportunity for participants to design and attempt strategies drawing upon their understanding of nonviolence. This thesis charts their – and my own - transformative journey towards becoming nonviolent educators and embracing nonviolence as path for social justice, and how the study and practice of the theories presented supported that journey.

description: Nanoscale structuring in confined geometries using atomic layer deposition (ALD) is demonstrated for surfaces of nanochannels in track-etched polymer membranes and in mesoporous silica (SBA-15). Suitable process conditions for conformal ALD coating of polymer membranes and SBA-15 with inorganic oxides (SiO₂, TiO₂, Al₂O₃) were developed. On the basis of the oxide-coated layers, nanochannels were further structured by a molecular-templated ALD approach, where calixarene macromolecules are covalently attached to the surface and then embedded into an Al₂O₃ layer. The removal of calixarene by ozone treatment results in 1–2 nm wide surface nanocavities. Surfaces exposed to different process steps are analyzed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) as well as by X-ray photoelectron and infrared spectroscopy. The proposed nanostructuring process increases the overall surface area, allows controlling the hydrophilicity of the channel surface, and is of interest for studying water and ion transport in confinement.

description: Cooperative intelligent transport systems rely on a set of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) applications to enhance road safety. Emerging new V2X applications like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs) and Connected Autonomous Driving (CAD) applications depend on a significant amount of shared data and require high reliability, low end-to-end (E2E) latency, and high throughput. However, present V2X communication technologies such as ITS-G5 and C-V2X (Cellular V2X) cannot satisfy these requirements alone. In this paper, we propose an intelligent, scalable hybrid vehicular communication architecture that leverages the performance of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) to meet the needs of these applications. Then, we propose a communication mode selection algorithm based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to maximize the network's reliability while limiting resource consumption. Finally, we assess our work using the platooning scenario that requires high reliability. Numerical results reveal that the hybrid vehicular communication architecture has the potential to enhance the packet reception rate (PRR) by up to 30% compared to both the static RAT selection strategy and the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) selection algorithm. Additionally, it improves the efficiency of the redundant communication mode by 20% regarding resource consumption
Long-range neural synchronization in attention and perceptual consciousness
Creators: name: Doesburg, Sam McLeod
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Cognition is dynamic and complex, requiring specific sets of brain areas to cooperate for specific tasks. Neural synchronization is a proposed mechanism for transient functional integration of specific neural populations, enabling feature flexible binding and dynamic assignment of functional connectivity in the brain according to task demands. This thesis addresses the role of neural synchronization in selective attention and perceptual consciousness. The goals of this thesis are to test the hypothesis that synchronization between brain regions is relevant to network dynamics in selective attention and for perceptual organization, and to elucidate the function of synchronization in different frequency ranges. Using a selective visuospatial cuing paradigm it is shown that deploying attention to one visual hemifield yields transient long-distance gamma-band synchronization between contralateral visual cortex and other, widespread, brain regions. This is interpreted as a mechanism for establishing anticipatory biasing of communication in the cortex. Long-distance gamma synchrony, moreover, is periodically 'refreshed' at a theta rate, possibly serving to maintain this gamma network. While local alpha-band activity was found to be greater ipsilateral to the attended visual hemifield, alpha-band synchronization between primary visual cortex and higher visual areas was greater contralateral to attended locations. This suggests that local alpha synchrony is relevant for inhibition, while long-range alpha synchronization enacts functional coupling. The onset of a new conscious percept during binocular rivalry coincides with large-scale gamma-band synchronization which recurs at a theta rate. This suggests that gamma synchronization integrates features into a unified conscious percept while the theta cycle maintains that network. Using an audiovisual speech integration paradigm it is shown that large-scale gamma synchronization is greater when incongruence is detected between auditory and visual streams. This highlights an important distinction: neural synchronization reflects neural integration, not perceptual integration. Perceptual integration typically requires neural integration (feature binding), however, in this case detection of audiovisual mismatches requires cooperation within a distributed network, whereas audiovisual speech integration is largely accomplished in superior temporal cortex. These studies indicate that long-distance gamma synchronization establishes neural integration, the theta cycle maintains gamma synchronous networks, and local and long-range alpha synchrony reflect sustained inhibition and functional coupling mechanisms, respectively.

description: Drone detection is a challenging object detection task where visibility conditions and quality of the images may be unfavorable, and detections might become difficult due to complex backgrounds, small visible objects, and hard to distinguish objects. Both provide high confidence for drone detections, and eliminating false detections requires efficient algorithms and approaches. Our previous work, which uses YOLOv5, uses both real and synthetic data and a Kalman-based tracker to track the detections and increase their confidence using temporal information. Our current work improves on the previous approach by combining several improvements. We used a more diverse dataset combining multiple sources and combined with synthetic samples chosen from a large synthetic dataset based on the error analysis of the base model. Also, to obtain more resilient confidence scores for objects, we introduced a classification component that discriminates whether the object is a drone or not. Finally, we developed a more advanced scoring algorithm for object tracking that we use to adjust localization confidence. Furthermore, the proposed technique won 1st Place in the Drone vs. Bird Challenge (Workshop on Small-Drone Surveillance, Detection and Counteraction Techniques at ICIAP 2021).
