The religious construction of sexual citizenship: The role of religious ideologies in Canadian law
Creators: name: Shipley, Heather E
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: The central focus of this thesis is to examine the construction of the following categories of identity; religious ideology, sexuality and sexual orientation and the subsequent use of these categories of identity to create standards of acceptance in law which are then framed as natural and normal. This thesis uses interdisciplinary theoretical methods and analysis to expose and analyze discursive constructs regarding interveners' facta. The focus of this analysis is the normalizing and marginalizing discursive processes of law in relation to legal and cultural standards regarding sexual normativity and sexual difference. Although same-sex marriages have been legal in Canada since 2005 and equality rights based on sexual orientation read into the Charter since 1995, the construction of homosexuality as inherently other to normative heterosexuality continues in legal and public discourse. The problem under examination is the means by which acceptance is granted in Canadian law and how the language of sexuality and same-sex relationships is structured via the religious interests of the interveners and judges. The influence of religious beliefs and religious groups has maintained structures of sexual normalcy in law and public discourse so that the sexually other must be desexualized to access rights and freedoms. Framed within these parameters, homosexual difference is constructed only as taboo unless it can be enveloped in the category of the normal. This analysis is accomplished through the application of multi-disciplinary theoretical approaches and analysis to legal discourse. Other forms of discourse are incorporated into the discussion to demonstrate the intertwined relationships of law and society with a specific view to language which co-opts sexual difference within a heteronormative vernacular.
Verfassungsreform auf Taiwan in den neunziger Jahren
Creators: name: Tränkmann, Beate
Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2021

description: In July 1997 Taiwan’s National Assembly passed a new series of constitutional amendment bills which fundamentally alter the relationships between the president, the premier and the legislature. The amendments also change the scope of interaction between Taiwan’s central administration and the provincial government. Among the new articles the legislative power to approve the president’s nomination of the premier is removed. At the same time the legislature is entitled to initiate a non-confidence vote against the premier. On downscaling the Taiwan provincial government the amendments suspended the elections for the Taiwan Provincial Governor and the Provincial Assembly. The changes resolve a constitutional conflict between the president and the Legislative Yuan about the nomination of the premier, which paralysed the functioning of Taiwan's constitutional system in 1996. They furthermore confirm the development of Taiwan’s political system from a vaguely defined parliamentary system into a semi-presidential system. The article reviews the constitutional debate on Taiwan since 1990. By analysing the political structure before the last constitutional amendments, the author is able to identify the main weaknesses in the governmental system and inter-institutional relations. These weaknesses are the key to understand the constitutional crisis and the continuing efforts to reform the political system on Taiwan.

description: Con questo lavoro si indaga la campagna di occupazioni a scopo socio-abitativo “magnammece ‘o pesone”, un caso di “pratica informale” finalizzata alla rivendicazione del diritto all’abitare che prende luogo nella città di Napoli. Dopo aver descritto la campagna e ricostruito la storia delle pratiche di lotta per la casa avvenute nel contesto napoletano a partire dal dopoguerra, il lavoro viene focalizzato sull’individuazione delle somiglianze e delle differenze fra le attuali lotte per la casa e quelle passate evidenziando : a) ruolo del Movimento Urbano Napoletano; b) rapporto con le istituzioni; c) meccanismi di mobilitazione e di fruizione degli spazi occupati. Alle possibili ricadute positive della campagna sul territorio, ed in particolar modo sui “vuoti urbani”, saranno dedicate le riflessioni conclusive.

description: Die seit Juni dieses Jahres tobenden Waldbrände in Südostasien, die zwischenzeitlich mehr als 800 Hektar Wald und Buschland vernichtet haben, werfen erneut die bange Frage über die Auswirkungen der Umweltzerstörung in Südostasien auf. Allein in Indonesien sind mittlerweile mehr als 30.000 Menschen an den Folgen der Rauchbelastung erkrankt. Zusätzlich sind mehrere Todesfälle zu beklagen. Auch die Ernteausfälle von Kaffee, Reis, Sojamehl oder Weizen und die hierdurch verursachten Nahrungsmittelpreiserhöhungen haben viele der kleinen, ohnehin am Rande des Existenzminimums lebenden Farmer in den Ruin getrieben. In den letzten Monaten sind in der indonesischen Provinz Irian Jaya mehr als 400 Personen verhungert, da die Ernte ihres Hauptnahrungsmittels, der Süßkartoffel, ausblieb und die Hochlandbewohner von Jayawijaya wegen des Smogs nur zum Teil aus der Luft versorgt werden konnten.

Occupazioni abusive in un contesto di edilizia residenziale pubblica a Napoli: una pratica individualistica?
Creators: name: Esposito, Emiliano

Publisher: name: Argomenti
Year: 2020

description: Abstract Deprivation-based squatting is one of the several forms of urban squatting that academic debate has identified in Western countries. However, scholars have usually neglected this form of squatting focusing their analysis mainly on politically-oriented occupations promoted by urban social movements. Moreover, when analyzed, deprivation-based squatting has been depicted essentially as an adaptive and apolitical strategy of urban subalterns. This paper intends to enrich the academic debate on complex meanings of deprivation-based squatting through analyzing the case of occupations in the rione De Gasperi, a public housing neighborhood in eastern Naples (Italy). This is a peculiar case of deprivation-based squatting that we call individualistic squatting, whose main features are analyzed and its inherent political character is stressed. Such analysis aims to contribute to the academic debate on urban squatting through overcoming the traditional binary logic of political squatting versus non-political squatting. La pratica dell’occupazione abitativa per necessità è una delle molteplici forme dello squatting urbano nei paesi occidentali. Il dibattito accademico ha spesso ignorato questa forma di squatting, focalizzandosi invece sui casi di occupazione di matrice politica promossi dai movimenti sociali urbani. Tradizionalmente considerato uno strumento impiegato dalle fasce più deboli della popolazione, lo squatting per necessità abitativa è stato di conseguenza frettolosamente dipinto come la strategia adattiva e apolitica dei gruppi subalterni. Questo saggio intende arricchire la discussione accademica sui significati complessi delle occupazioni abitative per necessità, analizzando il caso delle occupazioni abusive in un quartiere di edilizia popolare a Napoli, il rione De Gasperi. Il fenomeno indagato emerge come una forma specifica di squatting per necessità che definiamo come squatting individualistico, le cui cause e ragioni sono investigate nel presente saggio, e il cui carattere intrinsecamente politico è evidenziato. L’analisi proposta prova a superare il tradizionale binomio che contrappone squatting politico e squatting non-politico. Keywords: urban squatting, public housing, political, deprivation-based squatting, Naples.

description: Il presente saggio indaga le manifestazioni locali di quello che viene chiamato populismo urbano. Ossia di quel processo che consiste nell’adattamento al contesto locale di temi e tecniche nazionali di costituzione dell’opinione pubblica. Il caso di Messina e del suo sindaco Cateno De Luca sono al centro di questo studio. Per mezzo dell’analisi del dibattito pubblico sollevato dal politico, la ricostruzione della sua “fenomenologia” e la descrizione delle forme di opposizione discorsiva che incontrano le sue azioni, lo studio mostra come questo esempio locale di populismo miri a identificare nemici interni anziché esterni. Tale discorso, inoltre, è caratterizzato dall’ossessione per la “modernità”. Invece di rappresentare la società locale come se fosse esposta all’assedio di un nemico esterno, questo esempio cittadino di populismo mira a perseguire un “progetto di civilizzazione” urbano che è collocato dentro il lascito della Questione meridionale e il correlato complesso di “arretratezza”.

description: By using complementary resource endowments and comparative advantages of their sub-regions growth triangles are to become an attractive centre for local and foreign direct investment in order to strengthen the competitiveness of the area under consideration and to promote intra- and extra-regional trade. The ultimate objective is to generate prosperity in the sub-regions as well as in their respective countries. But growth triangles not only create economic gains for the players involved. They also may affect security and stability in the region in a positive as well as in a negative way. Hence, a judicious implementation of development strategies, taking into account a multitude of political, social and economic variables, is vital for the success of the programme. Most important is the long-term equal distribution of benefits among the partners. For the development of the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle portrayed in this article a study has been conducted by the Asian Development Bank containing a strategy for the implementation of 97 initiatives. The majority of these apply to the triangle region as a whole and to the Malaysia-Thailand axis respectively.

Subjects: qualità dell’abitare, edilizia residenziale pubblica, ricerca etnografica

description: La qualità dell’abitare è un concetto complesso, la cui intensione è ricca di dimensioni diverse: la dimensione legale, legata al titolo di godimento dell’abitazione; quella relativa alla sostenibilità economica, cioè l’incidenza delle spese per l’alloggio e per la sua manutenzione sul reddito; la dimensione relativa alle caratteristiche strutturali dell’alloggio e dell’edificio; la qualità della vita urbana del quartiere; la qualità delle relazioni fra gli abitanti e le istituzioni; la qualità delle relazioni fra vicini di casa. Molti aspetti dell’intensione del concetto di qualità dell’abitare si sovrappongono poi al concetto di qualità della vita in generale. Come si possono indagare le dimensioni della qualità dell’abitare? A partire da una ricerca realizzata in due quartieri di edilizia residenziale pubblica della città di Livorno e dalle riflessioni teoriche sul concetto di qualità dell’abitare che l’hanno accompagnata, l’articolo intende proporre riflessioni di metodo e fare proposte metodologiche.

Analysis and design of neural network-based WLAN indoor location system
Creators: name: Li, Hong
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: As IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks are widely deployed, WLAN-based indoor location systems have obtained a good chance to develop, because they can be easily achieved on the existing WLAN infrastructure and by the RSSI parameter provided by the standard. Due to the complexity of the indoor RF propagation environment, the traditional triangulation method becomes impractical for indoor location systems and the propagation pattern matching method becomes the major method instead. RSSI values from a set of APs form the unique signatures or the propagation map for locations. The neural network method is one of the major location estimation methods for propagation map matching. Compared with the probabilistic method and the nearest neighbor method, the NN method has advantages in saving computing resources. However, the performance of a NN-based WLAN-based location system is determined by its training process and the resolution of the propagation map. By analyzing the properties of the process of RSSI creation, the underlying relationship between the WLAN RSSI parameter and space or RSSI resolution over space is obtained by applying the log-distance path loss model. Propagation map creation rules or rules for creation of neural network training data set are proposed based on the analysis and simulation results. And finally, guidelines about the design and implementation of an NN-based WLAN location system are proposed.
The influence of gender on the effects of aspirin in preventing myocardial infarction

description: Background: There is considerable variation in the effect of aspirin therapy reducing the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Gender could be a potential explanatory factor for the variability. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether gender mix might play a role in explaining the large variation of aspirin efficacy across primary and secondary MI prevention trials. Methods: Randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials that examined the efficacy of aspirin therapy on MI were identified by using the PUBMED database (1966 to October 2006). Weighted linear regression technique was used to determine the relationship between log-transformed relative risk (RR) of MI and the percentage of male participants in each trial. The reciprocal of the standard error of the RR in each trial (1/SE) was used as the weight. Results: A total of 23 trials (n = 113 494 participants) were identified. Overall, compared with placebo, aspirin reduced the risk of non-fatal MI (RR = 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.64–0.81, p < 0.001) but not of fatal MI (RR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.75–1.03, p = 0.120). A total of 27% of the variation in the non-fatal MI results could be accounted for by considering the gender mix of the trials (p = 0.017). Trials that recruited predominantly men demonstrated the largest risk reduction in non-fatal MI (RR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.54–0.71), while trials that contained predominately women failed to demonstrate a significant risk reduction in non-fatal MI (RR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.71–1.06). Conclusion: Gender accounts for a substantial proportion of the variability in the efficacy of aspirin in reducing MI rates across these trials, and supports the notion that women might be less responsive to aspirin than men.
The trio of evils: How and why the United States failed in winning the hearts and minds of Muslim people
Creators: name: Moustafa, Salih

Subjects: subject: Speech Communication.
subject: Mass Communications.

description: The objective of this thesis is to investigate the apparent failure of the U.S. government to "win the hearts and minds" of Muslims in the post 9/11 world. Using critical discourse analysis of counter Muslim media and audience discourses (discourses criticizing and opposing U.S. policies in the Muslim world), four factors are identified as being central to this failure. They are: (1) The United States government's lack of historical, religious, social and cultural knowledge of Muslim people, (2) its foreign policies toward Muslim people, (3) U.S. media strategies, and (4) the proliferation of new communication technologies in the Middle East. The findings demonstrate that, contrary to the claims of cultural imperialism theory, local contexts influence how Muslim media and Muslim audience interpret and respond to U.S.-rooted media messages and that new communication technologies have opened up greater opportunity for participation in the public sphere. This has implications for understanding the failure to win hearts and minds of Muslims because it suggests that, the active nature of Muslim media and audiences has actually served to increase distrust of the U.S. government and, more generally, the West throughout the Muslim world.

Advances in free radical oxidation: Mechanistic studies, fluorescent probe design and radically different antioxidants
Creators: name: Frenette, Mathieu
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: Organic matter may contain predominantly paired electrons, but much of it was, at some point, shaped by reactions involving unpaired electrons, i.e., radicals. Free radicals are involved in many reactions including combustion, petroleum reforming, polymer and industrial synthesis, and oxidation reactions. This last class of radical reactions is the central theme of this thesis. Oxidation of organic matter, including our own bodies and plastic, is accelerated by the presence of radicals and oxygen. This often undesired reaction can be limited by antioxidants that trap radicals and effectively stop oxidation. Here, we report a new class of antioxidants based on dimers of persistent carbon-centered radicals. The dimers reversibly dissociate to form radicals, which we studied using Variable-Temperature UV-Visible and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopies. Unlike most, these carbon-centered radicals do not react with oxygen (k<5x103M-1s-1). They do, however, efficiently trap peroxyl radicals (k>108M -1s-1). Using oxygen uptake kinetics, we measured rate constants between the reaction of dimers and peroxyl radicals (kinh) that were higher than many commercial antioxidants such as b&barbelow;utylated h&barbelow;ydroxyt&barbelow;oluene (BHT) and CIBA's Irganox HP-136. The antioxidant activity of dimers remarkably increases with temperature as more dimers dissociate to the active antioxidant form. In the absence of antioxidants, radical-induced oxidation of polyunsaturated lipids and cholesterol generates electrophilic oxidation products. Of these, the formation of ketones has eluded a satisfactory explanation for many decades. We propose that alphaC-H abstraction from hydroperoxides, the major primary oxidation products, generates ketones and hydroxyl radicals (HO·) in a long overlooked path to these intermediates. The HO· was trapped by benzene to yield phenol and the mechanism was further investigated using computational chemistry. The final sections describe the development and application of 7-mercapto-4-methylcoumarin (C-SH) as a prefluorescent probe to detect electrophilic lipid oxidation products. For this, we performed the first photophysical study of C-SH and related coumarin-derivatives. It was found that alkylation of C-SH generally increases the fluorescence quantum yield while substitution by an electron withdrawing group renders C-SH non-fluorescent. We successfully employed the increase in fluorescence upon alkylation of C-SH to quantify lipid oxidation electrophiles such as 4-hydroxynonenal.

Spatiotemporal Trends in Episodic Ozone Pollution in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia, in Relation to Mesoscale Atmospheric Circulation Patterns and Emissions.
Creators: name: Ainslie, Bruce
name: Steyn, Douw G.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2011

description: A cluster analysis of wind measurements from two meteorological stations in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada, has been performed to identify mesoscale circulation regimes that are common to days on which ozone mixing ratios at one or more measuring stations in the region’s fixed monitoring network exceed the National Ambient Air Quality Objective of 82 ppb. The analysis, using 20 yr of data (1984–2003), identifies the following four regimes: two with morning winds at the coastal Vancouver International Airport (YVR) meteorological station from the northwest direction and two with southerly YVR morning winds. Not all exceedance days are associated with sea-breeze circulations, but days with southerly morning winds have a higher proportion of well-developed sea-breeze circulations. Composite synoptic patterns associated with each regime all show high pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean with a thermal trough over Washington State and southwestern British Columbia. Composite ozone patterns, corresponding to each mesoscale circulation regime and taken at the hour of maximum ozone concentration, show similar general features, including strong ozone titration in and around the urban source regions and higher values downwind. This suggests that precursor buildup, prior to the exceedance day, plays an important role in the spatial ozone pattern on exceedance days. A simple multiple linear regression of the plume centroid with the number of days elapsed from the start of the analysis period suggests the centroid of the ozone plume has shifted eastward since 1990. There also appears to be a north–south shift in the ozone plume. It is impossible to tell if these shifts are due to changes in emission levels or to changes in spatial emission patterns, because both changes have occurred over the study period.

Warum Japan den Irakkrieg des US-Präsidenten unterstützt hat

description: The absence of a legitimate, democratic global regulative power with real competencies, which the United Nations was originally meant to be, and the incapacity of the international community, especially the 'West' or rather the Europeans, to put the UN Security System 'into effect', have led to a situation where governments, to guarantee the safety and protection of their respective populations, take recourse to 'self help' and legal remedies. The Japanese Constitution is exemplary, for making a prior concession by renouncing the sovereign right of belligerency in the hope of achieving a future legal order of peace, it sets extraordinarily strict measures. The American engagement as a regulative power ('global policeman') as well as the attempt of the global community to put 'human Security' in the forefront and to codify 'State responsibility', are to be seen as remedies, which, however do not relieve governments of their responsibility, to follow up on their words and good intentions, and create an effective and legally binding order of peace, where general and complete disarmament, distributive justice, guaranties of human rights and Collective Security can be realized. The question why Japan supported the Iraq War has to be answered to the effect that on the one hand the island monarchy doesn't want to give up its basic pacifist stance, but on the other hand also can't keep aloof from its responsibility to contribute to global security and order.

description: During the 1980s and 1990s, Venezuela struggled through a profound economic, political and social crisis that resulted in popular uprisings, the collapse of some of the nation's largest financial institutions and the trial and sentence of President Carlos Andres Perez for the embezzlement of public funds. It was during this time, that author and humorist Igor Delgado Senior (1942) published three anthologies of short stories: Relatos de Tropicalia (1985), Sub-America (1992) and Sexo sentido y otros cuentos (1998). The stories collected in those volumes reflect and comment on the events of those difficult years, but they do so through the discourse of humour. The purpose of this study is to delineate the most significant qualities of the author's narrative and to describe the critical commentary he puts forth in these texts. In order to do so, it will be essential to carry out a comprehensive analysis of these stories, that is, an analysis that examines the relationship between humour and literature in these texts. Proceeding from the point of view of the reader, we shall explore how humour is woven into the fabric of these stories and how it contributes to the construction of literary meaning through an intertextual process that has its basis in parodic representation. By setting forth a methodology for integrating the study of humour to the framework of literary analysis, I describe the communicative role of humour in Delgado Senior's short stories and reflect on its social and critical values.

description: Therapeutics Letter 66 provides an update on the prescription drug treatments for overactive bladder that were previously reviewed in Therapeutics Letter 57. The current Letter summarizes the Common Drug Review (CDR) reports on three drugs newly available in Canada for the treatment of overactive bladder (darifenacin, solifenacin and trospium). Conclusions: Based on the CDR systematic reviews, the three new drugs to treat overactive bladder syndrome are more expensive than oxybutynin with little or no therapeutic advantage in efficacy or adverse effects.

description: Investments in infrastructure are necessary to achieve the objective of Sustainable Development Goal-2 (SDG2), which is to “end hunger, ensure food security and promote sustainable agriculture” and to also create jobs in the Sahel region, specifically in Niger and Côte d'Ivoire. A significant portion of the populations of these two countries live in rural areas where they are mainly employed in agriculture. But due to a low availability of of infrastructure, many rural populations do not benefit from basic services such as access to energy and irrigation. Starting from an input-output analysis and a multiplier model based on the social accounting matrices of Niger and Côte d'Ivoire, this research analyzes the impact of an investment policy in rural infrastructure on job creation and agricultural development. The results confirm the significant contribution of development of rural infrastructure for employment and highlight the importance of adjusting investments to local circumstances for maximizing the employment contribution. In the case of Niger where the initial state of the coverage of water and electricity needs is very low, additional investments in such infrastructures make it possible to maximize job creation. In Côte d'Ivoire, employment creation appears greater following investments in road infrastructure. However, these jobs do not include long-term cumulative effects that would result from the increase in income. A large part of the jobs created are in the construction sector. The other additional jobs would come from sectors of agriculture, trade, and food processing to which are added the extractive industry for the case of Niger and the basic metal industries and transport in the case of Côte d'Ivoire. The study recommends that Sahelian countries align their investment strategy in infrastructure with a skills development strategy in the field of construction. This contributes to the structural transformation of Sahelian economies and increases the field of possibility for unqualified rural workers.

description: For quiet a long time, Chinese bond markets have been an underdeveloped and neglected segment of China’s expanding capital markets, gaining much less attention than the flourishing equity markets of the nineties or the troubled Chinese banking sector. Despite their important role in capital market development, it was only very recently that — heavily influenced by the lessons learnt after the Asian Financial crisis - bond market development has been put on decision makers' agendas. Starting from there, this papers aims to analyze the development, structure and prevailing problems of government and corporate bond markets in China, arguing that bond markets show — in addition to more typical problems of emerging capital markets - some distinctive features resulting from their institutional, regulatory and political embeddedness in a socialist market economy. In order to understand bond markets’ problems better, their overall context has to be taken into account as profound interconnections with the process of overall economic reform in China, fiscal and monetary policy making, as well as general financial sector development and problems in enterprise reform contributed to the problems they face today. The future of Chinas bond markets, though, it is argued, is likely to be much brighter, as changing needs within the economic reform process tend to foster a systematic and comprehensive bond market development policy in order to ensure and enhance steady and continuing economic growth. After all, bond markets will be an important component of mature capital markets in any market economy.

Cell volume regulation is initiated in oocytes at ovulation

description: It was previously shown that the early preimplantation mouse embryo regulates cell volume by a novel mechanism involving the accumulation of glycine as an organic osmolyte via the glycine transporter GLYT1. GLYT1-mediated cell volume control is present in fertilized eggs and persists only until the 4- to 8-cell stage of embryo development. However, it was unknown when during development this mechanism first becomes active. Therefore, I have investigated the mechanisms of cell volume regulation in oocytes prior to fertilization. To determine when glycine transport is initiated in oocytes and the mechanisms controlling its activation, I used the mouse as a model and various techniques including embryo and oocyte culture, 3H-glycine transport measurements, amino acid microanalysis, RT-PCR, Western blot and immunocytochemistry. GLYT1 was quiescent in GV oocytes freshly removed from follicles. However, transport developed within several hours of ovulatory stimulation. Endogenous free cytosolic glycine, the fraction that contributes intracellular osmotic support, was measured at high levels only after ovulation, in ovulated MII oocytes and 1- and 2-cell embryos, where GLYT1 was active. Once active, GLYT1 activity was necessary for protecting against volume decreases in oocytes. Thus, GLYT1-mediated cell volume-regulatory glycine transport was initiated in oocytes at ovulation. This activation was independent of meiotic maturation and did not involve de novo synthesis. The inhibitory action of unidentified follicular factor(s) over a constitutively active GLYT1 is most likely responsible for the quiescence of GLYT1 before ovulation. Prior to GLYT1 activation, the oocyte was unable to independently control its volume. Instead, its size was determined by a firm adherence between the oocyte's membrane and its extracellular matrix, the zona pellucida (ZP). Electron microscopy studies indicated that oocyte-ZP adherence occurs at the tip of the oocyte microvilli. When freed from the follicle or following ovulation, the oocyte released this adhesion, decreased in volume, and a perivitelline space appeared. This release from adherence and change in preferred volume coincided with GLYT1 activation. Thus, the onset of cell volume regulation occurs at ovulation when the mammalian oocyte switches from a fixed cell volume determined by the ZP to active GLYT1 and glycine-dependent volume control.
