description: Parkour is a sport with a focus on overcoming obstacles. Parkour practitioners utilise specialised techniques relating to movements such as running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, swinging, rolling, and occasionally acrobatic manoeuvres in order to traverse a path through urban and rural environments. Parkour is a new sport, and as it continues to grow in popularity, there is an accompanying demand for parkour instructors. As a result, programmes to train parkour coaches have been created in various parts of the world. There has been minimal scholarly research conducted regarding parkour, and much of the current parkour research focuses either on parkour athletes, or the perceptions of parkour by non-parkour athletes. No research was discovered regarding parkour coaches. This exploratory study aimed to: (a) explore how parkour coaches learn to coach; and (b) explore the perceptions held by parkour coaches regarding parkour coach education programmes. In the first article, titled ‘How Parkour Coaches Learn to Coach: Coaches’ Sources of Learning in an Unregulated Sport’, participants’ responses related to the themes of: parkour coaching experience, previous leadership experience, experience as an athlete in parkour and other sports, other parkour coaches, non-parkour coaches, parkour coach education programmes, school, reflection, and the Internet. The second article, titled ‘What Does It Mean to be a Certified Parkour Coach? Parkour Coach Perceptions of Formal Coach Education Programmes’, shared participants’ perceptions of formal parkour coach education programmes, including: potential benefits and risks to participation in such programmes, modifications that could be made to the programmes, and parkour coach perceptions of coach education programmes for other sports.

description: Regeneration of adult skeletal muscle relies upon a population of quiescent myogenic progenitor cells, called satellite cells (SCs). Upon injury, SCs activate, proliferate, differentiate and fuse to make new myofibers or to repair damaged ones. SCs can also self-renew to repopulate the SC niche. The balance between differentiation and self-renewal is critical to maintain muscle homeostasis and changes in this equilibrium can lead to chronic muscle degeneration. For example, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by rounds of muscle degeneration and regeneration leading to increased muscle wasting. One approach to treat DMD is transplantation of SCs. For this treatment to be viable, transplanted cells must contribute to repairing injured muscle and repopulating the SC niche. Here, we show that the transcription factor CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein beta (C/EBPβ) regulates SC function. C/EBPβ is down-regulated during differentiation and persistent expression of C/EBPβ inhibits differentiation and expression of the myogenic regulatory factors MyoD and Myogenin. C/EBPβ also promotes Pax7 expression by directly binding to and regulating Pax7 transcription. Using genetic tools to conditionally excise C/EBPβ expression in SCs, we found that C/EBPβ-null SCs lose quiescence and precociously differentiate at the expense of self-renewal. After a single injury, C/EBPβ-deficient SCs failed to self-renew, resulting in impaired muscle repair after a second injury. C/EBPβ-induced quiescence also requires upregulation of caveolin-1. Furthermore, pharmacological manipulation of C/EBPβ expression with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), increased the number of cells available for transplantation into dystrophic muscle and enhanced the expression of stem cell markers in a C/EBPβ-dependent fashion. IBMX treatment improved cell survival and migration, engraftment into the SC niche and repair of dystrophic muscle. Together, these results demonstrate that C/EBPβ is an important regulator of SC function and that pharmacological manipulation of C/EBPβ improves culture conditions for the expansion and selection of SCs available for cell therapy for the treatment of muscular dystrophies.
Isomerization in Olefin Metathesis: Challenges and Opportunities

description: The past two years have witnessed groundbreaking advances in the industrial deployment of olefin metathesis. While metathesis methodologies have been an integral part of the chemical manufacturing landscape for 60 years, implementation in pharmaceutical and specialty chemicals manufacturing represents a new frontier. The imperative to develop greener and more cost-effective manufacturing processes is anticipated to spur further improvements in sustainable synthesis. Advances in catalyst productivity, however, are critical to expansion of the uptake of metathesis methodologies in this and other manufacturing sectors. Key to increased catalyst productivity is elimination of side reactions that lower yield and errode selectivity. Among such reactions, double-bond isomerization is by far most common. Accumulating evidence suggests that unwanted isomerization during olefin metathesis is due to ruthenium species generated via catalyst decomposition. The identification of these species and how they are formed is thus of great importance. Two hydride complexes, RuHCl(CO)(H2IMes)(PCy3) and a dinuclear hydride, are known to form under some circumstances by decomposition of the second-generation Grubbs catalyst, RuCl2(H2IMes)(PCy3)(=CHPh), GII. These complexes have been widely viewed as responsible for unintended isomerization reactions. However, examination of their performance in olefin isomerization under conditions relevant to metathesis reveals that their activity is too feeble to account for the levels of isomerization observed during metathesis. Alternatively, kinetically competent culprits emerge from decomposition studies that reveal unexpected ruthenium products on decomposition of GII during metathesis; specifically, formation of ruthenium nanoparticles. The formation and catalytic non-innocence of RuNPs constitutes a new paradigm in this field, which opens the door to new approaches to prevent or to harness olefin isomerization. Key to prevention, clearly, is circumventing the decomposition pathways that enable ligand stripping from the active catalyst. New approaches to catalyst design that involve use of truncated NHC ligands are also examined. Finally, the power and utility of isomerization when coupled with metathesis is explored. The opportunities and limitations of orthogonal isomerization–metathesis catalysis are examined in the context of the two-step synthesis of cinnamates from 1-allylbenzenes abundant in essential oils. An efficient one-pot, two-catalyst protocol is developed for conversion of these biorenewable feedstocks to high-value-added chemicals.

description: Les futurs enseignants issus de l’immigration, inscrits dans un programme de formation initiale à l’enseignement dans une université canadienne, font face à de grands défis, au regard de leurs conceptions ancrées et de leurs représentations qui sont liées à leurs systèmes de valeurs, à leurs expériences et pratiques dans leur pays d’origine. Pour s’insérer dans la profession enseignante au Canada, ils doivent repenser et réviser leurs systèmes de valeurs pour embrasser celles du pays d’accueil. Il s’agit là d’un processus de développement d’une nouvelle identité que la théorie de l’apprentissage par transformation de Mezirow (1991, 2009) nous aide à comprendre. Notre principale question de recherche se formule comme suit: quelles sont les transformations constatées dans les représentations des futurs enseignants issus de l’immigration, quant à leurs systèmes de valeurs en milieu scolaire franco-ontarien, à la suite de la mise en œuvre d’un dispositif de recherche constitué d’un cours intitulé «Éducation aux valeurs en milieu scolaire», d’une formation à l’utilisation de la cartographie conceptuelle et d’un accompagnement réflexif? Dans une double posture de chercheur, à la fois qualitative/interprétative et pragmatiste, nous avons utilisé une approche d’étude de cas multiples (Merriam, 1998; Stake, 2006). Des données ont été collectées auprès de sept futurs enseignants issus de l’immigration, à partir des instruments et dispositifs contrastés, notamment l’observation participante, deux entretiens semi-directifs, deux cartes conceptuelles (initiales et finales) et des entrées de journal réflexif. Présentés sous la forme de portraits individuels d’abord, puis sous la forme de comparaison inter-cas, les résultats ont révélé des changements dans les représentations des futurs enseignants issus de l’immigration, quant à leurs systèmes de valeurs en milieu scolaire franco-ontarien. Les résultats de cette étude apportent une meilleure compréhension des systèmes de valeurs des futurs enseignants issus de l’immigration et peuvent ainsi contribuer à une prise de conscience sur la nécessité, pour les institutions universitaires de formation à l’enseignement, de créer un environnement propice non seulement à l'apprentissage mais également à l'intégration sociale et professionnelle des futurs enseignants issus de l’immigration.

description: Dans cette thèse, nous proposons de mettre en relation trois sphères susceptibles de s’influencer les unes les autres, mais pourtant peu rapprochées par les chercheurs jusqu’à présent : les discours journalistiques auxquels sont exposés de jeunes Québécois et leur communauté, les représentations que se font ces adolescents de leur langue et leurs usages du français. Nous approfondirons ces sphères une à une, pour ultimement en évaluer la cohérence et tendre vers un portrait nuancé des rapports d’adolescents à la langue. Nous prendrons pour cadre plus précis la ville québécoise de Gatineau, limitrophe de la province de l’Ontario : les représentations linguistiques des jeunes y demeurent peu connues, en dépit des traces que peut y laisser la vie dans un milieu frontalier où se côtoient les groupes linguistiques francophone et anglophone. D’abord, comme la presse écrite sert de lieu de construction et de relais des représentations linguistiques, nous ferons ressortir d’un corpus d’articles les principaux discours métalinguistiques qui y sont tenus à l’échelle gatinoise et québécoise. Ensuite, grâce à un corpus de questionnaires écrits que nous avons recueilli auprès d’élèves gatinois du secondaire, nous verrons dans quelle mesure les perceptions qu’entretiennent ces jeunes sur la langue se rapprochent ou s’éloignent de celles diffusées par les journaux. Enfin, nous montrerons que les opinions véhiculées dans ces deux corpus se font tour à tour miroir et distorsion du français écrit employé par ces élèves dans leur questionnaire. Faire ainsi dialoguer différentes composantes de la réalité linguistique d’adolescents contribuera à mieux distinguer les écarts qui s’installent entre perceptions de soi et de l’Autre. Cela paraît d’autant plus nécessaire dans le cas de locuteurs dont les représentations linguistiques, entre autres teintées par leur situation frontalière, se révèlent traversées par un fort sentiment de différence.

description: One of the primary objectives of infectious disease research is uncovering the direct link that exists between viral population dynamics and molecular evolution. For RNA viruses in particular, evolution occurs at such a rapid pace that epidemiological processes become ingrained into gene sequences. Conceptually, this link is easy to make: as RNA viruses spread throughout a population, they evolve with each new host infection. However, developing a quantitative understanding of this connection is difficult. Thus, the emerging discipline of phylodynamics is centered on reconciling epidemiology and phylogenetics using genetic analysis. Here, we present two research studies that draw on phylodynamic principles in order to characterize the progression and evolution of the Ebola virus and the human immunodefficiency virus (HIV). In the first study, the interplay between selection and epistasis in the Ebola virus genome is elucidated through the ancestral reconstruction of a critical region in the Ebola virus glycoprotein. Hence, we provide a novel mechanistic account of the structural changes that led up to the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak. The second study applies an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach to the inference of epidemiological parameters. First, we demonstrate the accuracy of this approach with simulated data. Then, we infer the dynamics of the Swiss HIV-1 epidemic, illustrating the applicability of this statistical method to the public health sector. Altogether, this thesis unravels some of the complex dynamics that shape epidemic progression, and provides potential avenues for facilitating viral surveillance efforts.
Developing environmental innovations: a study of cooperation and greening supply chains

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research investigates the way buyers interact with their suppliers over the challenge of developing environmental innovations. Through analysing survey results and conducting interviews with senior managers, this research shows that successful development of environmental innovations requires close cooperation between buyers and suppliers. Although some incremental changes may occur if buyers enforce suppliers to adopt green practices, systemic innovations are more likely to be developed if buyers engage their suppliers. This research also demonstrates the importance of internal organisational factors (e.g., the perspective of managers and the sufficiency of resource) over the external factors (regulations and consumer expectations).

La thèse est donc sommairement divisée en deux parties : la première est constituée des traductions elles-mêmes, auxquelles on a tenté d’insuffler un ton et un registre proprement montréalais, étudiant de près le travail sur la langue effectué par chacun des auteurs. La seconde, de nature plus théorique, fait appel à certains principes traductologiques pour analyser la place de cette littérature de langue anglaise dans le paysage culturel du Québec d’aujourd’hui, ainsi que les implications sociolinguistiques et éthiques d’une telle entreprise. Une part importante de cette étude sera en outre consacrée à l’analyse littéraire de ces textes de l’urbanité, tant dans leur fond que dans leur forme, afin de mettre à jour les réflexions et les mécanismes ayant permis de mener à bien la re-création des nouvelles en français, langue avec laquelle, implicitement, elles cohabitent.

description: This study examined how social anxiety, gender, and mode of presentation influenced miscommunication and perception of negativity in children’s interpretation of computer-mediated messages. The initial phase of the research involved developing and validating the stimuli for emotion recognition via presentation of various emotionally toned messages. Following preparation of the stimuli, the 98 participants (aged 8-12 years) in the main study were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: audio-visual, audio-only, and text message. The same emotionally toned messages were presented in each of these three conditions. Participants were instructed to select from a list of six emotions (happy, sad, disgusted, angry, surprised, scared) which emotion each message conveyed. Participants then rated how positively or negatively they perceived each sentence, using a 5-point Likert scale that ranged from very negative to very positive. Following the emotion recognition and Likert rating task, participants completed questionnaires that gathered information about social anxiety and attribution bias. Findings revealed that additional nonverbal and paralinguistic, as in the audio-visual or audio-only condition, allowed participants to more accurately identify the emotion being conveyed in the message, compared to the text message condition. This advantage was found for all emotions with the exception of happiness. For happy messages, participants were able to identify the intended emotion at above-chance levels regardless of mode of presentation. When making interpretations about angry messages, a significant three-way interaction was observed between sex, condition and social anxiety. Likert rating analyses revealed that condition, sex, and social anxiety played important roles in the interpretation of both ambiguous and unambiguous emotions, such as surprise and happiness.

description: The sub-state nationalist conflicts in both Northern Ireland and the Basque Country have undergone significant de-escalation. However, while the transformation of the conflict in Northern Ireland involved a negotiated agreement with the host state, that of the conflict in the Basque Country did not. Thus, if the shape of the outcome represents the dependent variable, exploring these transformations requires an examination of three interrelated independent variable groupings. The first explores the operational capacities of each movement through an examination of their resources, and how access to these resources may have changed over time and impacted the overall strategies. Secondly, an examination of state responses to both the conflict itself as well as to changing movement strategies is undertaken. Finally, the third grouping seeks to explore the dynamics the above variables have on the way in which the sub-state nationalist organizations are led and directed. This project found that while both the Republican Movement and the MLNV experienced motivating pulls toward de-escalation and pursuit of movement goals increasingly dominated by institutional politics (Grouping 1), the differences in the responses of the host States (Grouping 2), and the organizational structures through which movement assessments and decisions are funnelled (Grouping 3), allowed for the MLNV to make the more radical commitment to de-escalation in the absence of a negotiated settlement, while the Republican Movement was able to move the bulk of, but not all, its membership into a negotiated agreement with the British state. The Republican Movement experienced greater optimism for and motivation in negotiations than did the MLNV, while the MLNV experienced greater motivation toward de-escalation more generally.

description: In epidemiological studies, subjects with disease (prevalent cases) differ from newly diseased (incident cases). They tend to survive longer due to sampling bias, and related covariates will also be biased. Methods for regression analyses have recently been proposed to measure the potential effects of covariates on survival. The goal is to extend the dependence measure of Kent (1983), based on the information gain, in the context of length-biased sampling. In this regard, to estimate information gain and dependence measure for length-biased data, we propose two different methods namely kernel density estimation with a regression procedure and parametric copulas. We will assess the consistency for all proposed estimators. Algorithms detailing how to generate length-biased data, using kernel density estimation with regression procedure and parametric copulas approaches, are given. Finally, the performances of the estimated information gain and dependence measure, under length-biased sampling, are demonstrated through simulation studies.

C'est dans cette perspective que nous avons mené une étude de terrain de huit mois au Nord Kivu, à l’est de la République démocratique du Congo. Notre hypothèse de départ est que malgré le fait que les femmes congolaises continuent de subir les effets des nombreux conflits qui ont ravagé le pays, elles sont également en mesure de mobiliser les normes au sein des différents champs et réseaux semi-autonomes qui régulent leur vie quotidienne, comme un moyen d'assurer leur survie au jour le jour. Nous avons donc voulu retracer certaines reconstructions normatives initiées par les femmes au sein des structures internationales, transnationales, nationales et locales et ce, tout en veillant à maintenir leur participation dans le jeu social.

description: We determine the crustal and upper mantle structure within the northern Canadian Cordillera using two complementary Rayleigh wave analysis techniques: ambient noise and teleseismic two-station interferometry. These methods are used to measure Rayleigh waves propagating between all available pairs of seismic stations in northwestern Canada, which are processed to obtain phase velocity dispersion curves. These curves provide information on the inter-station, path-averaged phase velocity as a function of frequency (or period). These inter-station phase velocities are then inverted to produce phase velocity maps. Phase velocity maps for periods between 8 and 80 s show to first-order high velocities within the Shield and low velocities within the Cordillera, supporting the thermal isostasy model for the region. Smaller scale features are observed throughout the Cordillera with high velocities west of the Tintina Fault reflecting the mafic composition of the accreted terranes of the Intermontane belt, and low velocities east of the Tintina fault reflecting the sedimentary rocks of the Selwyn Basin. High velocities extending west past the Cordilleran Deformation Front provide evidence for the existence of regions within the eastern Cordillera underlain by cool cratonic lithosphere. Anisotropy within the upper crust and mantle shows fast-axis orientations in line with the major faults within the region, providing evidence for a shear-zone that extends to lithospheric mantle depths. Lower crustal anisotropy shows an increase in heterogeneity of fast-axis orientations, which provides limited support for the existence of a weak shear zone and detachment within the lower crust. Results of a 1D inversion show approximate Moho depths of 35 km for the region west of the Tintina Fault, 36 km for the Mackenzie Mountains region, and 37 km for the shield. Reduced lower crust velocities observed throughout the Cordillera, provide support for the existence of a weak lower crustal layer.

description: The cross-sectional form of semi-alluvial bedrock channels was investigated. Channel geometry data were collected from a variety of streams in Ontario and Québec, Canada to develop empirical downstream scaling relationships. The relationships revealed that bedrock, mixed, and alluvial channels scale at similar rates with respect to discharge. The widest channels were formed in low-relief sedimentary bedrock with minimal alluvial cover. Channels influenced by resistant igneous/metamorphic bedrock produced a strong scaling relationship, whereas channels influenced by weak sedimentary bedrock produced a weak scaling relationship. Alluvial cover appeared to exhibit more control on channel width in low-relief settings in comparison to high-relief settings, with increased alluvial cover promoting channel narrowing. Channels influenced by igneous/metamorphic bedrock produced identifiable thalwegs, presumably due to well-defined bedload transport pathways. Channels influenced by sedimentary bedrock tended to have planar beds. Additionally, fish habitat was investigated at one semi-alluvial bedrock stream in Ontario, Canada. Fish sampling was conducted at proximate bedrock and alluvial sections followed by a survey of physical habitat parameters to evaluate habitat preferences. Adult logperch (Percina caprodes), juvenile white sucker (Catostomus commersonii), adult round goby (Neogobius melanostomus), and adult longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae) demonstrated preference toward alluvial substrate, whereas juvenile logperch and adult banded killifish (Fundulus diaphanus) demonstrated preference toward bedrock. Juvenile silver shiner (Notropis photogenis) and juvenile yellow perch (Perca flavescens) were indifferent to substrate type. Empirical depth and flow velocity habitat suitability indices (HSIs) were developed for each fish species. This study presents the first fish habitat suitability criteria developed from a small semi-alluvial bedrock stream and may provide valuable information for fisheries management endeavours in such environments.

description: Choline is necessary for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC), the predominant phospholipid species and an important lipid intermediate. Macrophages, critical mediators of innate immunity, have been implicated in lipid dysregulation associated with metabolic disease. Despite the importance of choline in lipid metabolism, few studies have investigated the relationship between choline metabolism and inflammation. My research revealed that macrophage polarization increased choline metabolism and the expression of the choline transporter CTL1. In addition, choline deficient macrophages showed altered cytokine secretion, suggesting choline metabolism may play an important role in regulating the immune response. This study also describes the generation of a novel CTL1-/- mouse, which showed decreased choline uptake and incorporation into lipids. As an in vivo model for choline deficiency, CTL1-/- mice represent an important model for the future study of choline metabolism. Altogether, these findings suggest an important relationship exists between choline metabolism and inflammation.

description: To understand how to better stimulate adult sport engagement, this study investigated effects of gain-framed messages (GFM; Rothman & Updegraff, 2010) on psychological/behavioural outcomes, with or without efficacy-enhancing messages (Latimer et al., 2010). Eligible adults (30-69 years-old) were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions (‘GFM alone’ or ‘GFM plus efficacy-enhancing messages’), or a control condition. Participants (N = 232; 62.5% female) completed baseline/screening measures, watched their messaging intervention and reported outcomes one-week later (Time 2), and responded one-month later (Time 3). Comparing the experimental conditions showed non-significant differences for all outcomes, indicating no added benefit of efficacy-enhancing messages. Collapsing the experimental groups and comparing against the control showed significant group-by-time interactions for three ‘outcome expectancies’ (travel, social affiliation, stress relief), with reports higher among experimental participants. Results also indicated that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity significantly decreased at Time 3 within the control, but remained constant among experimental participants.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to describe the harvesting and dietary practices of two rural and remote Indigenous communities. The ethnographic methods of participant observations and semi-structured interviews availed an abundance of rich and detailed data that allowed for a clear understanding of the barriers these two communities face when accessing food. This is an articled-based thesis containing three parts. Part one is composed of a literature review that describes the barriers that have contributed to food insecurity problems in Indigenous communities. It finishes with a chapter dedicated to defining the postcolonial theoretical perspective and describing how and why it was employed during this research process. The postcolonial perspective was chosen to best understand the historical forces that caused food insecurity in Indigenous communities and justify my position as a non-indigenous researcher in the field of Indigenous health. The second part of the thesis is made up of two articles. Article one will describe the current situation of food access challenges and responses in Canada, more specifically in two rural and remote First Nations communities. The article illustrates how both First Nations are experiencing challenges obtaining healthy food from the market and from the land. The article describes what is involved in acquiring food in both communities, and the responses each community is taking to increase food access. The article concludes by pointing out how these initiatives are building more than just food capacity and why they deserve greater external support. The second article is focused solely in the community of Wapekeka, and is entitled The Cost of Local Food Procurement in One Northern Rural and Remote Indigenous Community. The purpose of the article is to provide a specific example of building local food capacity as strategy to address food insecurity. It documents the costs associated with traditional food procurement and compares these costs against the price of food available in the store. The final component of the thesis is the overall conclusion, highlighting the belief that the findings presented in this thesis will promote and emphasize the importance of land-based food initiatives as a way to foster positive health outcomes for all Indigenous peoples.

description: Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis are diseases of high prevalence. These two diseases are also related with each other. Periodontal therapies have already become a part of the treatment for glycemic control; however the benefits of different periodontal therapies are unclear. In the first phase of this study, we performed a systematic review of the current randomized controlled trials for the benefits of periodontal therapies. In the second phase, we analyzed the evidence for the benefits of periodontal therapies (serum HbA1c, fructosamine, periodontal pocket depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, plaque index, gingival index, C-reaction protein, and gingival crevicular fluid volume). In the third phase, we reported safety issues (total withdrawals, withdrawal due to serious adverse effects, serious adverse events and common adverse effects). In general, most included studies were poorly reported. Additional high-quality research studies into benefits of periodontal therapies are needed.

description: Средняя продолжительность операции при оптимальной циторедукции занимает большее время, чем остальных группах (170,6 ± 41 мин), это обусловлено техническими трудностями выполнения операции, при этом интраоперационная кровопотеря в исследуемой группе в среднем не превышает 150 мл. Значимые послеоперационные осложнения достоверно встречались пациенток IIB и IV стадии заболевания. Продолжается исследование по изучению отдаленных результатов комбинированного лечения рака яичников.
Le rôle de l’altérité dans la constitution du sujet : deux modes du rapport à l’autre dans l’œuvre de Denis Diderot

description: Cette thèse s’oppose à la conception commune suivant laquelle les philosophes des Lumières défendraient de concert l’idée suivant laquelle l’individu posséderait en lui-même les ressources nécessaires pour fonder la connaissance et la morale. Nous nous intéresserons plus particulièrement à la pensée de Diderot, figure marquante du XVIIIe siècle qui présente une conception d’un sujet dont la constitution dépend plutôt de ses rapports à autrui. Le rapport à un autre réel tel que présenté par Diderot montre la dépendance dans laquelle le sujet se tient pour fonder la connaissance et la morale. Le rapport à un autre imaginé en son absence montre, sous un angle différent – celui de l’expérience ou du vécu – comment le moi est constamment habité par autrui. C’est à ces deux modes du rapport à autrui que nous nous intéresserons pour montrer deux choses : (1) qu’il n’existe pas un accord généralisé chez les philosophes du XVIIIe siècle autour de l’individualisme puisque Diderot ne peut être rangé dans le camp des philosophes individualistes et (2) que la pensée de Diderot est suffisamment riche pour être étudiée non pas qu’historiquement sur les impacts qu’elle a eus, mais philosophiquement.
P-Wave Study of the San Andreas Fault Near Parkfield, CA, from Ambient Noise Interferometry of Borehole Seismic Data

subject: San Andreas Fault

description: In this thesis, we investigate and develop the optimal data processing procedures necessary to recover Green’s functions for body waves propagating among a network of borehole seismometers near Parkfield, CA. Applying these procedures, we detect P-waves propagating among these stations, which allows us to produce a first-order crustal velocity model for the San Andreas Fault in the Parkfield region. We also discuss under what conditions body wave phenomena such as reflections and mode conversions (P to S) may be observed, as further observing these would provide a dramatic improvement in our ability to characterize seismic velocity structures. Finally, we discuss the potential of seismic interferometry to produce time-lapse body wave characterizations of the San Andreas Fault, in which properties of the fault can be seen to change in time.

description: Des réformes sans précédent ont eu lieu dans les dernières années en ce qui concerne le cannabis. Cette substance est à l’avant-plan de la mouvance remettant en question la prohibition des drogues illicites. Au Canada, le gouvernement Libéral annonçait récemment son intention de présenter un cadre de légalisation pour le printemps 2017, mais une communauté d’activistes et d’organisations diverses s’exprime depuis des décennies sur la nécessité d’une telle réforme. L’objectif de cette thèse de maîtrise est d’étudier différentes perspectives militantes pour voir comment des groupes anti-prohibition issus de la société civile conçoivent et envisagent la légalisation du cannabis au Canada. Ces acteurs sont relativement peu traités dans la littérature constructiviste à propos des politiques sur le cannabis, qui se concentre davantage sur la couverture médiatique ou les discours gouvernementaux. Or, les organisations pro-légalisation présentent un argumentaire riche et détaillé abordant beaucoup d’éléments névralgiques de ce débat. Étudier leurs différents points de vue permet de mieux saisir les tensions et les nuances de la conversation sociale sur le cannabis. Après avoir composé un échantillon diversifié de douze organisations canadiennes militant en faveur de la légalisation, nous avons d’abord assemblé une archive de documents rendus disponibles par ces organisations. Puis, entre octobre 2015 et mars 2016, nous avons mené des entretiens avec un représentant ou une représentante de chaque groupe, afin d’obtenir une illustration à jour et plus détaillée du discours de l’organisation. Pour traiter ces données, nous avons eu recours à l’analyse de cadres, raffinée à l’aide d’outils de l’analyse du discours. Nous avons identifié quatre perspectives diagnostiques utilisées pour définir le problème avec le système actuel de gestion du cannabis au Canada : un cadre basé sur l’inefficacité, un cadre critique, un cadre d’injustice et un cadre politique. Ces diagnostics amènent à proposer des solutions distinctes, qui peuvent être situées par rapport à trois pôles généraux : la santé et la sécurité, les droits et libertés ou le marché libre et ouvert. Cela dit, malgré des perspectives variées, les acteurs étudiés s’entendent sur plusieurs points concrets lorsqu’il s’agit de définir la légalisation dans la pratique. De façon générale, cette thèse offre une grille de lecture permettant de mieux comprendre la complexité du débat entourant la légalisation du cannabis.
