description: Alberta is banking on sizable investments in infrastructure as it looks to resuscitate an economy devastated by the double blow of an oil price crash and global pandemic. The fiscal injection announced in Alberta’s Recovery Plan lifts infrastructure spending to $10 billion, and will fund what Premier Jason Kenney calls the biggest build in Alberta’s history. Historic as it may be, the approach leaves women behind.

Online journalism

description: This essay asks one central research question: How are professional journalists  adopting the blog format and what implications do these practices have on the current and  future state of their profession? To answer this question, this study uses the grounded  theory method. This method is designed to help develop a theoretical model that arises  from interviews and documents. This study uses a sample size of 10 journalists from elite  newspapers in America. The resulting theoretical model derived in this study explains the  causes and consequences of what is described as experimental journalism. In short, this is  the practice of advancing traditional journalism norms through the application of new  technologies. This study identified two key causes of experimental journalism: the new  potential introduced by the blog format and the lack of oversight given to journalists  when using this new technology. After developing a theoretical model for describing this  phenomenon, this study offers six testable propositions that follow from this theoretical  model. Key terms used in this study includes journalism, Hogging, j-blogging, Internet,  new media, grounded theory, open coding, axial coding, selective coding, qualitative  methods, mass communication, postmodernism, and public sphere.

description: To determine whether patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with possible benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are managed in accordance with best practice guidelines, and whether physiotherapists are involved in their care. Retrospective observational study. Ninety-six consecutive patients presenting to one of three EDs with vertigo, dizziness or imbalance symptoms documented at triage. Individuals with a clear non-vestibular cause of symptoms were excluded. Proportional adherence to clinical practice guidelines by medical and physiotherapy clinicians, primary diagnosis, incidence of falls, admission to hospital, and referral to a physiotherapy service. Adherence to clinical practice guidelines by both professions was low, with only 25 (26%, 95% CI: 18–36%) and 3 (14%, 95% CI: 4–36%) patients assessed by a medical clinician or physiotherapist, respectively, receiving the gold-standard Dix–Hallpike test. Sixty-four (67%) individuals were given a diagnosis of undifferentiated dizziness. Of the 26 (27%) patients with a primary BPPV diagnosis, only three (12%) were treated with a canalith-repositioning technique, and four (15%) reviewed by a physiotherapist. Adherence to best-practice guidelines for the management of BPPV in individuals presenting to the ED is low, and physiotherapists are seldom involved in their management.

The Changes in Calcium Ion Activity During Communication, Development, and Normal Function of the Olfactory System

description: The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) found in the olfactory system play a key role in the modulation of Ca2+ activities. The complex intracellular Ca2+ transient and long-term Ca2+ oscillations affect the development, survival, response, and connection of the olfactory neurons and interneurons. The olfactory system is used as a research model because of its unique regenerative capabilities within the otherwise permanent central neuron system of adulthood. Chapter 2 looked at the Ca2+ activity induced by PACAP primarily through the PACAP-specific GPCRs in neonatal mouse olfactory bulb granule cell layer interneurons. The PACAP dose is recognized to be essential in the evaluation of PACAP modulation of Ca2+ activity. Furthermore, the numbers of PACAP responsive granule cells significantly increased between postnatal day one and five suggesting PACAP-induced Ca2+ activity is important in neonatal development. Chapter 3 looked at the Ca2+ fluxes induced by ATP through ATP specific GPCRs in olfactory epithelial (OE) sustentacular cells, which then communicate with other OE cells partially through gap junctions. The research on sustentacular cells has provided additional evidence that these cells are glial cells that coordinate the functions of neurons and basal cells in addition to fellow sustentacular cells. Chapter 4 looked at the presentation of the downstream associates of the olfactory receptors (ORs) type of GPCRs found on olfactory sensory neurons in OE. The centrin gene, Cetn2, was found to have an important role in the trafficking and localization of the proteins involved in the downstream elevation of Ca2+ activity. In the absence of Cetn2, the OR downstream protein associates adenylate cyclase III and cyclic nucleotide-gated channel, which were supposed to be transported by the nonmuscle myosin II to the OSN dendritic knob, were absent. The Cetn2 mutants show the failure to recruite the myosin in question. The resulting cilia defect disrupted the normal functions of multiple organs. All three projects have provided insights into the GCPR-inducedCa2+ activity modulations and the characterizations of Ca2+ activities in the normal functions of the olfactory system.
Social behavior and life satisfaction among nursing home patients.

description: Because of nursing's increased concern for sound knowledge as a basis for providing services to those confined to nursing homes, this study was undertaken as an exploratory investigation of the processes related to life satisfaction in nursing home patients.  A subjective measurer of life satisfaction was used in order to determine the degree of psychological well-being. In light of the controversy regarding social activity as a criterion for evaluating successful aging, the variable social involvement and activity was studied in relation to life satisfaction of nursing home patients.  Since all nursing home patients are not elderly, although they are all undergoing the aging process, the common variable, confinement, was of interest in regard to activity and life satisfaction.  The hypothesis proposed a relationship between life satisfaction and social interest and involvement.  Twenty-three nursing home residents were interviewed and administered the Neugarten (1961) Life Satisfaction Indices.  A Social Behavioral Rating Scale (SBRS) designed for nursing home patients was completed by nursing home personnel on each subject.  A correlational analysis did not yield a statistically significant relationship between life satisfaction and social behavior, interest and involvement, r = .01.  Thus, the data failed to support the hypothesis.  Of all the variables studied only three correlated significantly with life satisfaction.  Length of time in the nursing home, r = .44,  p < .05, and what the subject liked to do in the nursing home r = .49, p < .05 correlated positively with life satisfaction.  The third variable was the SBRS item irritability.  Subjects who demonstrated irritable behavior were found to be less satisfied with their lives.  In summary, the data suggested that things that make a person satisfied with his life do not necessarily have to do with social activity and involvement.  Although there was no correlation between age and life satisfaction, there was decreased activity and social interaction with age.  Subjects with large families were more social involved.  Similar scores on the Life Satisfaction Indices were found between the nursing home sample and scores previously established on a non-institutionalized sample.  Further study of the variables of activity, life satisfaction, and confinement in nursing home patients was suggested.

Shape analysis of defect-laden data

surface reconstruction

description: Shape analysis is a well-established tool for processing surfaces. It is often a first step in performing tasks such as segmentation, symmetry detection, and finding correspondences between shapes. Shape analysis is traditionally employed on well-sampled surfaces where the geometry and topology is precisely known. When the form of the surface is that of a point cloud containing nonuniform sampling, noise, and incomplete measurements, traditional shape analysis methods perform poorly. Although one may first perform reconstruction on such a point cloud prior to performing shape analysis, if the geometry and topology is far from the true surface, then this can have an adverse impact on the subsequent analysis. Furthermore, for triangulated surfaces containing noise, thin sheets, and poorly shaped triangles, existing shape analysis methods can be highly unstable. This thesis explores methods of shape analysis applied directly to such defect-laden shapes. We first study the problem of surface reconstruction, in order to obtain a better understanding of the types of point clouds for which reconstruction methods contain difficulties. To this end, we have devised a benchmark for surface reconstruction, establishing a standard for measuring error in reconstruction. We then develop a new method for consistently orienting normals of such challenging point clouds by using a collection of harmonic functions, intrinsically defined on the point cloud. Next, we develop a new shape analysis tool which is tolerant to imperfections, by constructing distances directly on the point cloud defined as the likelihood of two points belonging to a mutually common medial ball, and apply this for segmentation and reconstruction. We extend this distance measure to define a diffusion process on the point cloud, tolerant to missing data, which is used for the purposes of matching incomplete shapes undergoing a nonrigid deformation. Lastly, we have developed an intrinsic method for multiresolution remeshing of a poor-quality triangulated surface via spectral bisection.

description: This study compared difficulties in emotion regulation among primary, secondary, and low callous-unemotional (CU) youth in a sample of 417 detained adolescents (306 boys, 111 girls). Mixture modeling on the basis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms identified two groups of youth high in CU traits consistent with primary and secondary CU. Youth were typologized on the basis of PTSD symptoms which represents a novel method that is consistent with the theory underlying secondary callousness. Compared to youth classified in the primary group, youth classified as secondary CU reported higher levels of PTSD symptoms, anxiety, trauma exposure, and difficulties with clarity of emotions and nonacceptance of emotions. Difficulties in emotion regulation reported by youth in the secondary versus primary groups may be related to processes involving emotional numbing in the aftermath of posttraumatic distress. The results of the current study have implications for the classification of primary and secondary CU as well as the clinical treatment of youth with these characteristics.

description: The site of decarboxylation of L-DOPA to dopamine (DA) in patients with Parkinson's disease is unknown. Projections from the raphe nucleus containing 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) may contribute to the production of DA from L-DOPA since these cells are known to contain L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. To test this hypothesis, rats were given a unilateral injection of 6-hydroxy-dopamine (6OHDA; 8 (mu)g in 4 (mu)l) into the substantia nigra. Ten to 12 days later animals were given L-DOPA: carbidopa (100mg/kg: 10mg/kg) or vehicle every 12 hrs for 8 injections and sacrificed 1-2 hrs after the last injection. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activities and DA levels in the ipsilateral neostriatum were reduced to less than 5% of control in lesioned animals. The contralateral striata were not affected and served as controls. L-DOPA treatment did not significantly increase the striatal DA levels in lesioned animals. Additional neostriatal lesions induced by the serotonin neurotoxin, 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (DHT; 16 (mu)g), did not significantly decrease DA levels below those found in animals with the 6OHDA lesions alone. Due to the failure of L-DOPA to increase striatal DA in animals with extensive 6OHDA lesions, it is concluded that 5-HT terminals in the striatum do not contribute significantly to the production of DA from L-DOPA in Parkinson's disease. During the course of these experiments it became apparent that DHT was altering dopaminergic function. Unilateral injection of DHT into the rat neostriatum markedly reduced not only striatal tryptophan hydorxylase (TPH) activity but also striatal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity and dopamine (DA) levels measured 10-15 days later. The decrease in striatal TH activity was dose-related over the range of 8 to 32 (mu)g DHT; a dose of 16 (mu)g reduced TH activity to 40-50% of control, DA levels to 38% of control and TPH activity to 5-15% of control. Pretreatment of animals with amfonelic acid (15mg/kg), a selective DA uptake inhibitor, significantly reduced the effect of DHT to striatal TH activity and DA levels without affecting the DHT-induced decrease in TPH activity. Striatal choline acetyltransferase and glutamic acid decarboxylase activities were not decreased by 16 (mu)g DHT. The results indicate that DHT can compromise dopaminergic function in the rat neostriatum by damaging DA terminals in addition to its established neurotoxic effects on serotonin and nonrepinephrine terminals.

Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict, 1988-1994

description: This essay will elaborate on the South Caucasian conflicts of Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which happened from 1988-1994, and those between Georgia and its breakaway territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia from 1991-1993. The goal is to show how Cultural Affirmative Philosophy may transform no-war-norpeace situations into new possibilities for gradual conflict resolution. The thesis argues that the roots of the current ethnic and territorial antagonisms in the Caucasus are not in ancient hatreds, but are the results of war machines that were put into motion during the 90s and continue to keep  communities and decision-makers enslaved by transcendental dynamics. Despite all the existing obstacles, it is still possible to deactivate the war machines through the lines of flight between similarly nomadic actors online. New media activism, which is accurately described by the Deleuzo-Guattarian concept of the rhizome, can challenge barriers that divide postwar communities and create platforms for understanding of the grievances, hopes, and fears of each side.

description: The incidence of cholelithiasis in paediatric age is increasing. However, the guidelines concerning the diagnostic approach and treatment are not well established and are controversial. The authors report a rare diagnosis of calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis in a premature infant that attended the emergency room for persistent vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal swelling. At this age, the clinical presentation is unspecific, the diagnosis is not obvious and the treatment is not well documented. A detailed anamnesis and the combination of several predisposing risk factors must alert the physician to the diagnosis. After an unsuccessful attempt with conservative treatment, the decision was made to try a complex surgical procedure, with diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. So far, this procedure, at this age group, has not yet been reported in the literature. Accordingly, this makes this case unique and strengthens its use as an innovative approach that achieved therapeutic success.

Modeling the surface radiation and energy budget inside Arizona's meteor crater

Surface radiaton budget

description: The components of the radiation and surface energy budget have been modeled over the complex terrain of Arizona's Meteor Crater using terrain parameters derivable from a DEM as well as radiation and surface conditions observed at a central location within the terrain. The incoming shortwave radiation was modeled using direct observations taken within the crater at the central observation station and projected onto the variable terrain. When terrain shading made this approach unfeasible, knowledge of the solar radiation distribution was applied. The other radiation components were modeled using physical theory, direct observations, and relevant measured variables. The modeled radiation components are summed to form the modeled net radiation. The sensible heat flux is then modeled assuming a similarity between the ratio of net radiation on an unobstructed inclined surface to that on an unobstructed horizontal surface and the ratio of sensible heat flux on an unobstructed inclined surface to that on an unobstructed horizontal surface. Latent and ground heat fluxes are modeled by the extension of their direct measurements to all points within the domain. All radiation and energy balance components are adjusted for terrain shading, when appropriate. The resulting model was compared against observations taken during the METCRAX field campaign during October 2006. The radiation component found to have the most influence on the values of the net radiation is the incoming shortwave radiation. Accurately representing this component is the first step in a reliable model of the net radiation and therefore the sensible heat flux. The model produced errors within measurement accuracy for incoming short and longwave radiation and outgoing shortwave radiation. The errors produced by the models of the energy budget components are also small enough for the model to be considered useful to the research community. All of the modeled components vary temporally and the majority of the components vary spatially, reflecting the dependency of the energy budget on terrain features.

description: A study was done to present information about maternity hospital costs generated by two types of health care providers.  The purpose ws to provide descriptive data on categories of hospital charges generated for normal maternity patients and to compare these charges between Certified Nurse-Midwives and a variety of physician providers.  The researcher utilized the billing records of two groups of maternity patients who delivered at a tertiary care center in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The sample consisted of 46 CNM patients and 45 physician provider patients.  The subjects delivered between January 1979 and July 1980.  The subjects were chosen from the Obstetrical Department delivery log.  Billing record was examined and categories of charges were identified.  Computer analysis of the data included frequencies, descriptive statistics, and t-test.  The results of the study produced categories of hospital maternity costs that were examined to determine the charges included in a normal hospital maternity stay.  There was a significant difference in the mean total hospital bill between the CNM and physician provider group.  The mean hospital bill for the CNM patients was $114 less than the mean hospital bill for the physician provider patients.  This difference was primarily due to short mean length of stay for the CNM patients.  The findings indicated that  CNM patient had similar outcomes with a lower hospital bill.
Synthesis and binding properties of hybrid immunoglobulin light chain dimers.

description: Bence-Jones proteins are dimers of identical immunoglobulin light chains held together by noncovalent interactions and a single interchain disulfide bond. They are structurally and functionally similar to the antigen-binding regions of antibodies and thus provide a simplified model system for studying the molecular basis of antigen binding specificity. A wealth of structural information is available for light chains including many primary sequences and several complete X-ray structures.  As an approach to identifying the structural determinants of antibody specificity, a method was devised for the construction of hybrid light chain dimers. Initial attempts confirmed the earlier results of other investigators which demonstrated the reluctance of light chains to form heterodimers. When mixtures of two different noncovalent light chain dimers were denatured in propionic acid and then renatured, hybrid molecules were formed in yields of only about 10%. An alternative approach considered the formation of hybrids as a problem in the synthesis of a mixed disulfide. Accordingly, the interchain disulfide bond of one parental species was converted to thiols by reduction. The equivalent bond of a second species was converted to S-sulfo derivatives by reaction with sodium sulfite in the presence of catalytic quantities of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). After removal of excess reagents by gel filtration the two species were mixed under nondissociating conditions in the absence of atomospheric oxygen. When heterodimers formed by subunit interchange, the S-sulfo and thiol groups reacted to form a hybrid interchain disulfide bond. By this method twelve different hybrid dimers have been produced. In the twelve cases tested no light chains failed to hybridize and all hybrids were produced in yields approaching 100%. The hybridization reaction displays second order kinetics with rate constants from 0.4 to 18 M('-1) sec('-1) for different pairs of light chains.  Equilibrium dialysis experiments with a hapten-like molecule (bis(DNP)lysine) confirmed the presence of a functional binding site in the hybrids. Several molecules showed the capacity to adopt two alternative binding conformations adding to available evidence for conformational flexibility in immunoglobulins.  Several hybrid molecules have been crystallized and X-ray diffraction analyses are in progress.

Sackler center for feminist art

description: This thesis begins with one central question: how did second-wave feminist artists represent motherhood and his is it represented today? I explore this question through case-studies of three artists and their work: Judy Chicago's The dinner Party (1974-1979), Catherine Opie's Self-Portrait/Nursing (2004) and Canan Senol's Fountain (2000). All three works of art were on display during the inauguration of the Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum in 2007. The physical dominance of The Dinner Party within the gallery acts as a metaphor for its ideological influence within the scope of feminism itself. My first chapter establishes Chicago's need to minimize representations of motherhood by obscuring her as an unwanted guest. Yet, the neighboring temporary exhibition "Global Feminisms," curated by Linda Nochlin, highlights maternal-representation, indicating a different vantage point in feminism's approach to motherhood. My second chapter investigates the appropriation of Madonna del Latte iconography in Opie's Self-Portrait/Nursing, framing it as an attack on traditional Christian values for both personal and political reasons. Yet this appropriation maintains the fantasy of the mother-child dyad, which second-wave feminists, like Chicago, sought to disrupt. In my third chapter, I explore Senol's video art Fountain, which codes the breast as phallic and powerful. Further, I draw a connection between Julia Kristeva's  writings on chora with Fountain's sound of leaking milk. By examining these three works, this thesis ultimately highlights the complicated relationship between feminism and motherhood.

description: Emergency "911" service is a critical function provided in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), cellular and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. Wi-Fi, despite its growing importance, has no such service. In this thesis, we develop a 911-like service for  Wi-Fi-capable devices, enabling them to send emergency messages through any available hotspot or access point. Our service makes use of existing 802.11 management frames and does not require the client device to associate or authenticate with the access point; this  makes it available even on protected networks to which the client would not normally have access, even encrypted ones. This design ensures maximum potential reach and usability, and helps to increase public safety.

Mediating bacterial communication: the role of small RNA in Quorum sensing

description: Newly discovered, noncoding RNA regulate cellular processes and gene expression. Simple model systems, such as quorum sensing systems, are studied to understand the mechanisms by which these RNA act on their targets. Quorum sensing is a process by which bacteria coordinate expression of their genes based on the local cell-population density. Up to five noncoding RNA, called small RNA (sRNA), in the quorum sensing systems of Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio cholerae regulate expression of the master transcriptional regulator, LuxR (V. harveyi ) and HapR (V. cholerae). LuxR/HapR regulate genes associated with virulence and bioluminescence that are downstream of the quorum sensing system. The V. harveyi and V. cholerae quorum sensing systems are topologically identical and their components are homologous, yet each responds differently under identical experimental conditions. Experiments show that all sRNA are necessary in V. harveyi and any single sRNA is sufficient in V. cholerae to repress bioluminescence. Hence, Qrr are additive in V. harveyi and redundant in V. cholerae. Subsequent experiments have shown that feedback in the sRNA circuit increases the expression of Qrr when one or more Qrr are removed. Differences in the tuning of this feedback are thought to cause the additive and redundant Qrr phenotypes; however, this long-standing hypothesis remains untested. In this work, a novel model of the V. harveyi and V. cholerae sRNA circuit is formulated and parameterized to identify parametric differences underlying the phenotypic differences. This yields a single model with two different parameterizations whose behavior agrees quantitatively with a variety of empirical data from V. harveyi and V. cholerae. The model, therefore, can be used for the in silico design, testing, and analysis of experiments and, as such, is a utility to generate experimentally verifiable hypotheses. Analysis of the model shows that the feedback in the sRNA circuit is neither necessary nor sufficient to explain the phenotypic differences, which is in contrast to the long-standing hypothesis. Rather, the additive and redundant Qrr phenotypes are emergent phenomena and, in the case of V. harveyi and V. cholerae, reflect differences in the saturation of the protein chaperon Hfq with sRNA. Overall, this suggests that Hfq is an important modulator of sRNA-facilitated repression of target mRNA.
Cannabinoid Intoxication in Children: A Challenge in Pediatric Age

description: Cannabinoid intoxication is rare among the paediatric age, and a high level of suspicion is crucial for the diagnosis. We report two cases of paediatric cannabinoid intoxication that presented with neurologic manifestations (seizure and altered consciousness). Urine toxicological screening was positive for cannabinoids in both cases. The clinical outcome was good with complete recovery, and both children and families were referred for social services evaluation and social risk paediatric consultation. Cannabinoid intoxication should be considered in previously healthy children with acute neurological signs of unknown cause, while also avoiding unnecessary invasive and expensive exams.

description: Introduction: Inhaled nitrous oxide has been primarily used as a sedative but also as an analgesic in pediatric painful procedures. This study characterises the use of nitrous oxide in this age group and evaluates its effectiveness, safety and acceptance. Methods: Observational and prospective study performed based on the application of a questionnaire to pediatric patients in which nitrous oxide was administered (50% mixed with oxygen). Wong-Baker and FLACC-R (face, legs, activity, cry, consolability – revised) scales were used for pain assessment by the patient and the physician, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric tests and a significance level of 0.05 was considered. Results: A total of 65 patients with a median age of 8 years were evaluated. In 46 patients (70.8%), it was used in acute disease, mainly in fractures reduction (n = 33; 50.8%). The median of onset duration was 3 minutes and the action duration 7 minutes. There were reported side effects in 21 patients (32.3%), all mild and temporary. Twenty patients (30.8%) underwent supplemental analgesia during the procedure. During the procedure, in the context of acute illness, pain was lower than previous pain when evaluated by the patient (p < 0.001). Patients who were 5 years of age or older reported less pain during the procedure than patients who were of a younger age (p < 0.001). All the patients would accept its use again. Discussion: Nitrous oxide is an effective, safe, easy to use and quick-action analgesic. Efficacy was higher in patients older than 5 years of age and was well accepted by the patients.
