The immigrant experience : networks, skills and the next generation
Creators: name: Bonikowska, Aneta Kinga
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis explores several issues in the adaptation process of immigrants and their children in Canada. Chapter 2 investigates why second-generation immigrants are better educated than the remaining population. Using a standard human capital framework where individuals choose how much to invest in both their children's and their own human capital, I show that a gap in education can arise in the absence of differences in unobservable characteristics between immigrants and the native born. Rather, it can arise due to institutional factors such as imperfect transferability of foreign human capital and credit constraints. The model's key implication is a negative relationship between parental human capital investments and children's educational attainment, particularly in families with uneducated parents. I find strong empirical evidence of such tradeoffs in human capital investments occurring within immigrant families. Chapter 3 re-assesses the effect of living in an ethnic enclave on labour market outcomes of immigrants. I find evidence of cohort effects in the relationship between mean earnings and the proportion of co-ethnics in the CMA which vary by education level. Next, using information on the proportion of one's friends who share one's ethnicity, I test a common assumption that the enclave effect is a network effect. I find that traditional, geography-based measures of the ethnic enclave effect capture the impact of factor(s) other than social networks. In fact, the two effects generally offset each other to some degree in determining immigrant employment outcomes. Neither measure has a statistically significant effect on average immigrant earnings, at least in cross-sectional data. Chapter 4, co-authored with David Green and Craig Riddell, tests two alternative theories about why immigrants earn less than native-born workers with similar educational attainment and experience - discrimination versus lower skills (measured by literacy test scores). We find that immigrant workers educated abroad have lower cognitive skill levels (assessed in English or French) than similar native-born workers. This skills gap can explain much of the earnings gap. At the same time, foreign-educated immigrants receive no lower returns to skills than the native born. These results offer strong evidence against the discrimination hypothesis.

Methods for estimation of cyclic recruitment variation in pygmy northern pikeminnow (ptychochelius oregonensis) of south central British Columbia.
Creators: name: Hawkshaw, Michael Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: A long term study of fish populations on the Bonaparte Plateau, B.C., has revealed the possibility of 2-year cyclic recruitment variation in the pygmy pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus oregonensis). This thesis reviews possible causes of the cycle, and evaluates an inexpensive and non-destructive visual survey method to estimate juvenile population numbers over short summer periods while pikeminnow juveniles are recruiting to the lakes and dying rapidly, for use in future studies of the cyclic pattern. To provide an index of the abundance of juvenile pikeminnow, strip-transect surveys were conducted from shore. Each strip transect area was a full circumference of each of three study lakes, and extended from shore to a distance of up to 3 meters offshore. The visual surveys were shown to be accurate and repeatable when estimating the number of fish and the lengths of the fish in a shoal. The strip transects provide an index of abundance for juvenile northern pikeminnow and this index of abundance can be used to calculate daily summer and interannual mortality rates, providing estimates close to those predicted from the Lorenzen model for size-dependent mortality rates of fish in general. Stationary point surveys were also conducted to investigate juvenile pikeminnow behaviour, and these point surveys reveal a link between sunlight intensity and pikeminnow activity, and provide evidence of direct agonistic interactions between age 0 and age 1 juveniles, which could result in higher mortality rates of age 0 fish when age 1 fish are abundant. Analysis of survey data collected to date over five years from three lakes supports the possibility of a recruitment cycle with lakes out of phase with each other, suggesting that ecological interactions drive the cycles. These interactions are worthy of further investigation.

Ophioctenella acies Tyler et al. 1995 — $ St̂hr & Segonzac 2005: 395–396, figs. 2, 7.
Type locality: Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
See: Tyler et al. (1995); St̂hr & Segonzac (2005); Desbruyères et al. (2006: 483, figs. 1–3).
Occurrence: Atlantic, along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from Lucky Strike (SW Azores, c. 37°17’N, 32°16’W) south to Snake Pit (23°22’N, 44°56’W), westwards from Blake Plateau and Florida Escarpment to south of Barbados.
Depth: 1,626 –3,650 m (Desbruyères et al. 2006), though it seems to reach higher densities at depths greater than 3,000 m (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005); AZO: 1,626 –1,727 m (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005).
Habitat: restricted to chemosynthetic areas, found at hydrothermal vents and methane cold seeps, usually in association with deep-sea mytilid beds (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005).
Larval stage: probable planktotrophic (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005).
Remarks: Ophioctenella acies appears to be the only echinoderm species restricted to active vent sites known to occur in the Azores. In one of the few echinoderm studies from deep-sea reducing environments in the North Atlantic, St̂hr & Segonzac (2005) identify several animals of O. acies from Lucky Strike, but found this species conspicuously absent from hydrothermal vents of Menez Gwen.

The neoliberal state and multiculturalism : the need for democratic accountability
Creators: name: MacDonald, Fiona Lisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This project outlines the existence of neoliberal multiculturalism and identifies the implications and limitations of its practice. Neoliberal multiculturalism involves the institutionalization of group autonomy by the state to download responsibility to jurisdictions that have historically lacked sufficient fiscal capacity and have been hampered by colonialism in the development of the political capacity necessary to fully meet the requirements entailed by the devolution. At the same time, this practice releases the formerly responsible jurisdiction from the political burden of the policy area(s) despite its continued influence and effect. As demonstrated by my analysis of the Indigenous child welfare devolution that has occurred recently in Manitoba, neoliberal multiculturalism therefore involves a certain kind of “privatization”—that is, it involves the appearance of state distance from said policy area. This practice problematizes the traceability of power and decision making while at the same time it co-opts and in many ways neutralizes demands from critics of the state by giving the appearance of state concession to these demands. In response to the dangers of neoliberal multiculturalism, I situate multiculturalism in a robustly political model of democratic multi-nationalism (characterized by both agonism and deliberation) in order to combat multiculturalism’s tendency simply to rationalize “privatization” and to enhance democratic accountability. My approach goes beyond dominant constructions of group autonomy through group rights by emphasizing that autonomy is a relational political practice rather than a resource distributed by a benevolent state. Building on my analysis of Indigenous autonomy and the unique challenges that it presents for traditional democratic practices, I outline a contextually sensitive, case-specific employment of what I term “democratic multi-nationalism”. This approach conceives of Indigenous issues as inherently political in nature, as opposed to culturally defined and constituted, and therefore better meets the challenges of the colonial legacy and context of deep difference in which Indigenous-state relations take place today.

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung und die grafische Darstellung von direkten Streuproblemen für kreis- und ellipsenförmige Gebiete und deren numerische Auswertung. Es wird analysiert, wie akustische Wellen sich verhalten und reflektiert werden, nachdem sie auf kreis- oder ellipsenförmige Objekte treffen.Außerdem wird erklärt, welche Voraussetzungen gelten müssen und wie das gestreute Feld berechnet werden kann. Dafür wird erklärt, wie Streuprobleme allgemein durch die Helmholtz-Gleichung, die Sommerfeld-Ausstrahlungsbedingung und Dirichlet- oder Neumann-Randbedingungen mathematisch definiert werden. Ebenfalls wird gezeigt, wie mithilfe von Bessel-Funktionen kreisförmige und mit Mathieu-Funktionen ellipsenförmige Wellen dargestellt werden können. Darauf aufbauend wird gezeigt, wie die einfallenden planaren und die gestreuten Wellen durch die Jacobi-Anger-Erweiterung als Linearkombination solcher Wellen ermittelt werden können. Schließlich wird ein Programm vorgestellt, welches solche Wellen berechnen und grafisch darstellen kann.

description: Economic analyses of losses and damages or post-disaster needs assessments (PDNAs) are silent about the longstanding reparatory claims related to the legacies of African enslavement, colonial violence and indigenous dispossession that compound uneven racialized geographies in the Caribbean. This paper unpacks these so-called ‘objective’ valuations drawing attention to their (neo)liberal framings, technocratic underpinnings, and historical origins in the Caribbean plantation economy. Using case studies of catastrophic hurricanes Matthew (2016), Irma (2017) and Dorian (2019) in Haiti, Antigua and Barbuda, and The Bahamas respectively, the paper exposes critical tensions, knowledge hierarchies, and contradictions embedded within empirical assessments that justify and prioritize preferred policies of powerful international development, financial and governance institutions. PDNAs under-value and neglect important community and local knowledge, solidarity practices, cultural institutions, and relational ethics in the face of climate disasters in these Caribbean islands. Taking a Black geographies and political economy approach, the paper addresses the limitations and risks associated with PDNAs, deemed political tools or technologies of climate disaster that reinforce oppression. To advance an emancipatory climate justice agenda to enable more radical reparative measures and possibilities, the paper suggests that analyses and political strategy must be grounded in people's history, cultural, ethical, and communal governance practices.

Stream temperature dynamics following riparian wildfire : effects of stream-subsurface interactions and standing dead trees
Creators: name: Leach, Jason A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The primary objectives of this study were to address how stream temperature is influenced by (1) spatial variability in energy exchanges, (2) reach-scale stream-subsurface water interactions and (3) the net radiation dynamics associated with standing dead riparian vegetation. Stream temperature, riparian microclimate, and hydrology were characterized for a 1.5 km reach of Fishtrap Creek, located north of Kamloops, British Columbia. Within-reach air temperature and humidity variability was small, while wind speed, net radiation and surface-subsurface interactions exhibited considerable spatially variability. The field data were used to drive a deterministic energy budget model to predict stream temperature. The model was evaluated against measured stream temperature and performed well. The model indicated that the spatially complex hydrology was a significant control on the observed stream temperature patterns. A modelling exercise using three canopy cover scenarios revealed that post-disturbance standing dead trees reduce daytime net radiation reaching the stream surface by one third compared to complete vegetation removal. However, standing dead trees doubled daytime net radiation reaching the stream compared to pre-wildfire conditions. The results of this study have highlighted the need to account for the spatial variability of energy exchange processes, specifically net radiation and surface-subsurface water interactions, when understanding and predicting stream thermal regimes.

description: International climate finance institutions increasingly articulate their goals as catalyzing transformation, but can these institutions bring about deep structural change when they reflect the same liberal logics that arguably created the challenges they are designed to address? In this analysis, we use a virtual ethnography of Green Climate Fund (GCF) board meetings. We ask: how does the GCF navigate the tensions between different conceptualizations of transformation? Our sample included deliberations on 181 projects, and over 42 h of board meetings. Discussions were thematically coded to reveal concerns raised by board members and observers, followed by a structured content analysis. We found that while the transformational potential of proposals featured prominently in deliberations, there was no unified vision or clear definition of transformation. However, approaches that emphasized economic efficiency, technology and infrastructure, and market mechanisms and the private sector aligned with the liberal logic of the fund, while proposals that framed transformation in other ways faced more scrutiny. Board members and observers also raised concerns that proposals had the potential to increase vulnerability or cause harm. Despite this, almost all projects in our sample were approved, suggesting that more work is needed to expand beyond liberal understandings of transformation.

Depth: 1,885 – 3,120 m (Grieg 1932, Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972) AZO: 2,845 –2,995 m (Koehler 1906b, Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972).
Habitat: soft substrates (muddy sand; Koehler 1909, Grieg 1932).
Remarks: Paterson (1985) found O. concreta to be identical with O. irrorata in almost every aspect, ascribing no specific value to differences in the arrangement or number of arm spines. In view of this, Paterson proposed to demote this species to a subspecies of O. irrorata, restricted to the East Atlantic. Nevertheless, he also noted that the distinct characters of O. concreta were constant over a wide range of sizes and geographical areas. Martynov & Litvinova (2008) disputed the subspecific division of O. irrorata. According to them, several subspecies should not live syntopically as in the case of O. i. irrorata and O. i. concreta, both known from the Bay of Biscay. Another example of co-existence can be found in Grieg (1932), who identified both forms in the material collected by Michael Sars at a station located north of the Azores (sta 88: 45°26’N, 25°45’W, 3,120 m). However, Martynov & Litvinova (2008) were unsure if they represented two separate species or rather a single polymorphic species. In view of this, we have opted for a more conservative approach and maintain the historical species O. concreta separate from O. irrorata. Presently, O. concreta is known with certainty in the Azores only by historical records of Koehler (1906b; Talisman cruise) and Cherbonnier & Sibuet (1972; Noratlante cruise). See below remarks under Ophiura irrorata.

description: Ophiura (Ophiuroglypha) irrorata? (Lyman, 1878)
Reports for the Azores:
non Ophioglypha irrorata Lyman, 1878 — Koehler 1896b: 241 [misidentify O. concreta];
non Ophiura irrorata (Lyman, 1878) — Grieg 1932: 32 [based Koehler 1896b];
Ophiura irrorata (Lyman, 1878) —? $ Martynov & Litvinova 2008: 79–80, fig. 1C.
Type locality: off South Africa.
See: Lyman (1878: 73–74, pl. 4, figs. 106–108); Paterson (1985: 122–125, figs. 46–47).
Occurrence: cosmopolitan, in all oceans except Arctic; in the Atlantic from Cape Cod, eastwards from SW Iceland to NW Africa (Paterson 1985), including the Azores (Martynov & Litvinova 2008); reported elsewhere off South African deep waters (Lyman 1878).
Depth: 403– 7,340 m, most common at depths over 2,000 m (? AZO: 3,005–3,050 m; Martynov & Litvinova 2008).
Habitat: soft substrates (e.g., ooze; Lyman 1882).
Remarks: the first report of O. irrorata from the archipelago was made by Koehler (1896b, as Ophioglypha irrorata), later changed to O. mundata. The report of O. irrorata by Grieg (1932) from the Azores was either based on the first report by Koehler (1896b) or by Mortensen (1927a) who at the time believed both species were conspecific. More recently, Martynov & Litvinova (2008) identified a single specimen of O. irrorata in the north of the Azores (G.O. Sars, MAR–ECO cruise, sta 46/372: 42°46’N, 29°16’W, 3,005 –3,050 m). As Martynov & Litvinova disputed the subspecific status of O. concreta as a subspecies of O. irrorata, it is not clear whether the individual belonged to the O. irrorata sensu stricto or to O. concreta. Ophiura irrorata is cosmopolitan species and thus, likely to occur in the Azores deepwaters. However, taking into account the taxonomical background of this species, we considered its presence in the Azores as uncertain (see above remarks under O. concreta and O. mundata).

Type locality: Azores.
See: Koehler (1909); A.M. Clark & Downey (1992).
Occurrence: known only from the Azores (A.M. Clark & Downey 1992).
Depth: 1,846 –2,102 (?2,370) m (AZO; Koehler 1909, A.M. Clark & Downey 1992).
Habitat: soft substrates, muddy sand to Globigerina ooze (Koehler 1909).
Remarks: Koehler (1907a, 1909) described Hymenaster roseus, though clearly stating that the material collected by Princesse Alice in the Azores was in a very poor state. Sibuet (1976) found a specimen quite close to this species original description among the material collected south of S„o Miguel Island (Jean Charcot, Biacores cruise, sta 163BL: 37°26’30”N, 26°02’30”W, 2,370 m). However, Sibuet observed that the type material of H. roseus was in such deteriorate condition that any valid comparison was impossible. A.M. Clark & Downey (1992) re-examined Koehler’s original material and reinforced this concern remarking that the state of preservation of the type material was such that rendered it useless. These authors considered the reasons for Koehler erecting a new species rather weak, as the diagnosing characters are shared with many Hymenaster species. Furthermore, they observed that Koehler’s specimens are quite small. A.M. Clark & Downey (1992) stated that in the future H. roseus could prove to be an invalid species.

From wealth to well-being : spending money on others promotes happiness
Creators: name: Aknin, Lara Beth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: While previous research has examined the effect of income on happiness, we suggest that how people spend their money may be as important for their well-being as how much they earn. Specifically, we hypothesized that spending money on others may have a more positive impact on well-being than spending money on oneself. We found converging evidence for this hypothesis in a nationally representative survey (Study 1), a longitudinal study of windfall spending (Study 2), and an experimental study in which participants were randomly assigned to spend money on themselves or others (Study 3). We also found that people believe that spending on themselves, as opposed to others, will make them happier (Study 4) and that happier people were more likely to spend on others and experience higher happiness as result (Study 5). These results demonstrate that spending money on others may facilitate the translation of wealth into well-being.

description: Hymenaster tenuispinus Sibuet, 1976
Reports for the Azores:
Hymenaster tenuispinus $ Sibuet, 1976: 289–291, fig. 3.
Type locality: off Brittany, France (47°34’N, 8°38’W).
See: Sibuet (1976); A.M. Clark & Downey (1992: 323).
Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, from west of Brittany (France) south to North of Galicia (Spain) in the Bay of Biscay west to the Azores (Sibuet 1976).
Depth: 2,120–2,245 m (AZO: 2,120 m; Sibuet 1976).
Remarks: the relatively unknown Hymenaster tenuispinus was described by Sibuet (1976) to encompass specimens collected in the Bay of Biscay. Sibuet also identified this species among the material taken in the southwest of Flores Island by the Jean Charcot during the expedition Biacores (sta 131BL: 39°04’30”N, 32°43’30”W, 2,120 m). Recently, Dilman (2013) noted that some of the specimens collected in the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone north of the Azores shared characters with H. tenuispinus and the sub-Antarctic H. coccinatus. According to Dilman, these two species differ only by the number of adambulacral and oral spines, a character that appears to be size-related. Hymenaster tenuispinus may prove to be a junior synonym based on juveniles or subadults of H. coccinatus, a species previously thought to be restricted to the waters between Marion and the Crozet Islands.
