Être jeune et Noir·e· : Les micro-agressions raciales vécues par de jeunes Noir·e·s de 18 à 30 ans en milieu scolaire au Québec et en Ontario
Creators: name: Louis, Jennifer
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: Les dialogues sur la race et le racisme peuvent être difficiles en milieu scolaire et créer des inconforts pour les élèves ou étudiant·e·s noir·e·s et non-noir·e·s, ainsi que pour les enseignant·e·s et professeur·e·s. Ces inconforts déclenchent de fortes réactions qui peuvent amener les jeunes Noir·e·s à vivre des micro-agressions raciales. De plus, lorsque les dialogues sont mal gérés par le personnel de l’établissement scolaire, cela peut porter atteinte à l'intégrité personnelle des élèves et des étudiant·e·s noir·e·s tout en renforçant les biais inconscients de toute la communauté scolaire. La jeunesse noire vit plusieurs émotions lorsqu’elle est confrontée à ces micro-agressions raciales et peut décider de réagir de manière passive-agressive, proactive ou affirmée pour composer avec ou dénoncer ces actions. Cette recherche qualitative cherche à comprendre les expériences de micro-agression raciale d’élèves et d’étudiant·e·s noir·e·s en milieu scolaire québécois et ontarien et à les analyser à l’aide de la théorie antiraciste. Mots clés : Micro-agression raciale, Noir, jeunesse, milieu scolaire, interactions. Dialogues about race and racism can be difficult in school settings and create discomfort for Black and non-Black students, as well as teachers and professors. These discomforts trigger strong reactions that can lead black youth to experience racial micro-aggressions. Additionally, when school staff mismanage the dialogues, it can undermine the personal integrity of Black students while reinforcing the unconscious biases of the entire school community. Black youth experience many emotions when faced with these racial micro-aggressions and may decide to react in a passive-aggressive, proactive or assertive manner to deal with or denounce these actions. This qualitative research seeks to understand the experiences of racial micro-aggression of Black students in Quebec and Ontario schools and to analyze them using anti-racist theory.

Have we reached peak driving?: A 25-year decomposition of vehicle trends in Canada
Creators: name: Shenstone-Harris, Sarah
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: The external costs of vehicle use are extensive, including traffic accidents, urban congestion, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Around the turn of the millennia, after decades of steady growth, per capita vehicle use in many western countries plateaued, or even declined. As there has been very little research conducted on Canadian driving patterns, this study aims to determine whether vehicle use has been changing in Canada, and how it compares to the United States. This research seeks to explain the influential factors behind vehicle use, specifically the effect of an aging population, rising income and gas prices, urbanization, and other elements. An index decomposition analysis was applied to weigh the relative influence of population growth, demographic changes, and individual car use, in both Canada and the United States, which was followed by a fixed-effect regression analysis to determine the influence of gas prices, income, and urbanization. Our results found that Canada has not experienced the same remarkable change in vehicle use compared to other western countries, but only a modest peak or plateau, with young adults leading the trend. Gas prices appear to be responsible for some of the change, although this was offset by the positive influence of population growth, and rising incomes. Although the quality of data needs to be improved, understanding driving trends in Canada can help policy makers manage vehicle use and its numerous associated externalities.
Powerful ray patterns

description: Since the concept of ray pattern was introduced, many authors have studied properties

description: properties of complex matrices by using the concept of ray pattern. In this sense, a ray
description: pattern can be considered as a abstraction of complex matrices. On the other hand,
description: there had been numerous studies on combinatorial properties of sign patterns. Hence
description: extension from sign patterns to ray patterns was very natural to get more generalized

description: of a complex matrix and a generalization of a sign pattern.
description: In this thesis, we are going to think about a certain combinatorial property of ray
description: patterns. Ray patterns which we are most interested in in this thesis behave well under
description: powers, called powerful ray patterns, in the sense that any power of a given ray pattern
description: does not have ambiguous entries. Also we are going to consider the set S. A ray pattern
description: is in S if it is ray diagonally similar to a ray multiple of Boolean pattern of itself. We are
description: going to address three questions and answer them partially or fully in this thesis. Those
description: questions are characterizing powerful ray patterns, checking powerfulness of irreducible
description: ray patterns by powering, and characterizing the set S. The _rst question is still open
description: in general case. We are going to answer this question for ray patterns whose diagonal
description: blocks of Frobenius normal form are primitive. For the second question, we are going to
description: see an answer which gives us an upper bound on the _rst power that a non-powerful ray pattern will encounter an ambiguous entry. This answer does not cover every possible cases but exceptional cases are very specialized. For the last question, we are going to see two complete answers by using products of chains and powers of a certain matrix. Furthermore, we are going to have an algorithm that checks if a given ray pattern is in S or not by combining those two answers. At the end of this thesis, we are going to see examples of ray patterns which are not considered in this thesis. Those examples illustrate three possible cases of ray patterns that are reducible and non-powerful. We hope that studying those three cases would lead us to a complete answer for characterizing powerful ray patterns.
A Hamilton-Jacobi Formalism for Thermodynamics

description: We show that classical thermodynamics has a formulation in terms of Hamilton-Jacobi theory, analogous to mechanics. Even though the thermodynamic variables come in conjugate pairs such as pressure/volume or temperature/entropy, the phase space is odd-dimensional. For a system with n thermodynamic degrees of freedom it is (2n+1)-dimensional. The equations of state of a substance pick out an n-dimensional submanifold. A family of substances whose equations of state depend on n parameters define a hypersurface of co-dimension one. This can be described by the vanishing of a function which plays the role of a Hamiltonian. The ordinary differential equations (characteristic equations) defined by this function describe a dynamical system on the hypersurface. Its orbits can be used to reconstruct the equations of state. The `time' variable associated to this dynamics is related to, but is not identical to, entropy. After developing this formalism on well-grounded systems such as the van der Waals gases and the Curie-Weiss magnets, we derive a Hamilton-Jacobi equation for black hole thermodynamics in General Relativity. The cosmological constant appears as a constant of integration in this picture.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Many ecological systems show striking non-homogeneous population distributions. Diffusion-driven instabilities are commonly studied as mechanisms of pattern formation in many fields of biology but only rarely in ecology, in part because some of the conditions seem quite restrictive for ecological systems. Seasonal variation is ubiquitous in temperate ecosystems, yet its effect on pattern formation has not yet been explored. We formulate and analyze an impulsive reaction-diffusion system for a resource and its consumer in a two-season environment. While the resource grows throughout the 'summer' season, the consumer reproduces only once per year. We derive conditions for diffusion-driven instability in the system, and we show that pattern formation is possible with a Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. More importantly, we find that a low overwinter survival probability for the resource enhances the propensity for pattern formation: diffusion-driven instability occurs even when the diffusion rates of prey and predator are comparable (although not when they are equal).

description: We developed the theory of electronic properties of semiconductor quantum rings with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction irradiated by an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field (dressing field). Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, it is demonstrated that the dressing field drastically modifies all electronic characteristics of the rings, including spin-orbit coupling, effective electron mass and optical response. Particularly, the present effect paves the way to controlling the spin polarization of electrons with light in prospective ring-shaped spintronic devices.

description: This report describes Android secure coding rules, guidelines, and static analysis that were developed as part of the Mobile Source Code Analysis Laboratory (SCALe) project. The project aims to create a set of rules that can be checked (and potentially enforced) and to develop checkers for these rules. These efforts are intended to increase confidence in continued safe and secure operation of mobile devices and the networks on which they operate. The focus for this phase of the project is the Android platform for mobile devices. Work described in this report involved three activities: (1) preparing the Java Coding Guidelines book for publication, (2) developing Android secure coding rules for the Android section of the CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java wiki, and (3) developing software that does static analysis of a set of Android apps for data flows between them so that security leaks can be detected.

description: New XRT observations of the north polar region taken from the X-ray Telescope (XRT) of the Hinode (Solar-B) spacecraft are used to analyze several time sequences showing small loop brightenings with a long ray above. We focus on the recorded transverse displacement of the jet and discuss scenarios to explain the main features of the events: the relationship with the expected surface magnetism, the rapid and sudden radial motion, and possibly the heating, based on the assumption that the jet occurs above a null point of the coronal magnetic field. We conclude that 3-D reconnection models are needed to explain the observational details of these events.

The Harper Administration’s Securitization of Iran
Creators: name: Masaeli, Soha
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Despite Iran’s hostile relations with the West since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Canada had often played the role of an honest broker and maintained relations with Iran, contrary to the US. Although the Canadian Government has always viewed the Islamic Regime as hostile, it was interested in pursuing diplomacy and other means to pressure Iran in areas such as human rights violations. This approach to dealing with Iran was altered and moved towards securitization after 2006, with the election of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. This paper will examine the securitization theory and apply it to the Harper administration’s approach to Iran, leading up to the final securitized moment of the closure of the Canadian embassy in Tehran and the expulsion of Iranian diplomats from Ottawa in 2012. This paper will then analyze the reasons that the Canadian Government provided for pursuing this decision. Ultimately, the research will present the argument that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s identification of Iran as the biggest threat to global peace and security was an exaggeration of the real level of threat that Iran actually posed. This inflated level of threat may have had many causes, but chief among them was the Prime Minister’s personal convictions and relations with Israel and his foreign affairs policy approach which discouraged him from communicating with states or entities that were categorized as bad. Although this decision did not have any devastating effects on Canada, given that relations with Iran were always limited, it also did not achieve any desirable outcomes. In addition, various components of this securitizing move, such as listing Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, have rendered any decision by future governments to reinstall relations with Iran difficult.

description: We test the Coulomb exchange and correlation energy density functionals of electron systems for atomic nuclei in the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). For the exchange Coulomb energies, it is found that the deviation between the LDA and GGA ranges from around $ 11 \, \% $ in $ {}^{4} \mathrm{He} $ to around $ 2.2 \, \% $ in $ {}^{208} \mathrm{Pb} $, by taking the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional as an example of the GGA\@. For the correlation Coulomb energies, it is shown that those functionals of electron systems are not suitable for atomic nuclei.

Unraveling the behavioral mechanisms behind contrafreeloading
Creators: name: McGowan, Ragen Marie Trudelle-Schwarz
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Forage

description: Contrafreeloading occurs when animals choose resources that require effort to exploit when identical resources are freely available. Though contrafreeloading is well documented across species, little is known about the mechanisms behind the development of this behavior. This dissertation encompasses three projects which provide new insights into contrafreeloading in three species: grizzly bears, chickens, and mice. Two experiments were conducted with captive grizzly bears to assess information primacy as a theoretical foundation for foraging enrichment. Contrafreeloading was examined in response to concealed food. Bears spent more time manipulating devices that contained concealed food than devices without food, showing that they were motivated to explore concealed resources. Bears did not always consume extracted food suggesting that consumption is not an exclusive motivating factor of foraging behavior. Three experiments were conducted examining food choice in domestic fowl. To better understand apparent sex differences in foraging tactics in this species, two experiments were conducted in which sex hormones were manipulated. Contrafreeloading behavior, based on level of preference for foraging on small food particles in the presence of larger particles, was compared between treatments. In a third experiment, sex differences were investigated directly, comparing contrafreeloading among hens and roosters. Contrary to prediction, there was no effect of steroid treatment on contrafreeloading behavior. The behavior of roosters was consistent with predictions for energy maximization and hens showed variability in contrafreeloading tendencies. Little is known about motivation in relation to contrafreeloading. A consumer demand approach was utilized, requiring mice to pay a ‘cost’ to gain access to foraging resources to assess the strength of motivation of mice to contrafreeload. Despite increasing costs, motivation remained high for accessing all resources provided. Mice were most strongly motivated to access a contrafreeloading opportunity and non-nutritious food items, suggesting that mice may actively seek opportunities to engage in behavior that allows for information gain in relation to unconventional resources. These studies of contrafreeloading behavior demonstrate that, when housed in captivity with access to reliable, easily exploited food sources, animals may retain a seeking motivation that is adaptive under natural conditions, where survival is dependent upon finding food in an unpredictable environment.

The Years of Schooling of Second-Generation Immigrants in Canada
Creators: name: Wang, Bingrui
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Using data from the 2011 General Social Survey and the 2011 National Household Survey, this study focuses on the factors that are related to the differences in the number of years of schooling between second-generation immigrants and comparable children of Canadian-born parents. The results show that the second-generation immigrants have more years of schooling than their peers with Canadian-born parents. A part of the observed difference in years of schooling is explained by differences in individual characteristics. After controlling for gender, age, mother tongue, visible minority status, region of residence, parents’ education, and family structure, the gap in years of schooling still exists. Two variables that seem to have the most influence are visible minority status and parents’ education. Moreover, the differences in years of schooling keep showing when regressions are done by gender and for different visible minorities.

description: Although most programs and organizations use risk management when developing and operating software-reliant systems, preventable failures continue to occur at an alarming rate. In many instances, the root causes of these preventable failures can be traced to weaknesses in the risk management practices employed by those programs and organizations. In particular, Carnegie Mellon? Software Engineering Institute (SEI) field experience indicates that programs and organizations throughout government and industry are unable to assess their risks effectively. For example, SEI independent assessments routinely uncover significant risks that have not been brought to the attention of key decision makers. When decision makers are unaware of significant risks, they are unable to take action to mitigate those risks. As a result, SEI researchers undertook a project to examine and improve the practice of risk assessment. The SEI has developed the Mission Risk Diagnostic (MRD) to assess risk in interactively complex, socio-technical systems across the life cycle and supply chain. To date, the SEI has employed the MRD in a variety of domains, including software acquisition and development, cybersecurity, software security, and business portfolio management. This technical note provides an overview of the MRD method.
Decision-Feedback Detection Strategy for Nonlinear Frequency-Division Multiplexing

description: By exploiting a causality property of the nonlinear Fourier transform, a novel decision-feedback detection strategy for nonlinear frequency-division multiplexing (NFDM) systems is introduced. The performance of the proposed strategy is investigated both by simulations and by theoretical bounds and approximations, showing that it achieves a considerable performance improvement compared to previously adopted techniques in terms of Q-factor. The obtained improvement demonstrates that, by tailoring the detection strategy to the peculiar properties of the nonlinear Fourier transform, it is possible to boost the performance of NFDM systems and overcome current limitations imposed by the use of more conventional detection techniques suitable for the linear regime.

description: We study the long-term impacts of Cameroon's colonial history and its interplay with postcolonial institutions. We exploit both the arbitrary division of the German Colony of Kamerun between France and Britain after World War I and the 1961 reunification of British Southern Cameroons and the French-speaking République du Cameroun. Comparing individuals from the same ethnic homeland but living on either side of the British-French border within Cameroon, we find that individuals on the British side had higher educational attainment before the reunification, but that this initial advantage was partially erased by post-reunification governance. Despite achieving higher educational attainment overall, individuals on the British side have worse employment outcomes and roughly similar infant mortality rates. We provide further evidence of the interaction between colonial origins and postcolonial institutions by analyzing how the outcomes of individuals in former Southern Cameroons differ from their hypothetical outcomes, had they instead opted to join Nigeria in the 1961 plebiscite. We find that they have lower educational attainment, higher infant mortality rates, and worse employment outcomes relative to their co-ethnics living on the Nigerian side of the border between former Southern Cameroons and Nigeria.

description: Accurate differentiation between health states – diseased or non-diseased – is essential in clinical diagnostics. Optimal cut-off points, or thresholds used to classify test results, are crucial for precise diagnoses. This work introduces the Harmonic Mean of F-score and inverse F-score (HF), a novel metric for a balanced assessment of diagnostic accuracy. HF integrates Specificity (Sp) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) into the Negative F-score (NFγ), ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of true negatives and negative test reliability. Prioritizing both true positives and true negatives, HF was used in optimal cut-off point estimation under binary disease classification. Simulation results revealed that the HF measure performed well, often surpassing established methods in specific settings. The HF measure and cut-off point selection criterion were applied to real-life data, showcasing its ability to provide a balanced evaluation of diagnostic accuracy. The HF measure frequently outperformed traditional metrics. The HF metric’s flexibility, allowing parameter adjustments to accommodate diverse scenarios, enables researchers and clinicians to tailor its emphasis on specific aspects of diagnostic performance depending on the context.

description: Abstract

Termination of employment relations is always interesting to study and study in more depth. Workers are always the weak party when faced with employers who are the party with the power. As parties who are always considered weak, it is not uncommon for workers to always experience injustice when dealing with company interests. The enactment of Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Determination of Government Regulations in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation into Law brings several changes in the field of employment. The problem in this research is to see workers' rights after termination of employment. Therefore, research was carried out on the case that occurred with Mr. BUDI UTOMO who works as an employee of PT. ALFAPRIMA PANELINDO is one of the disputes between the company PT. ALFAPRIMA PANELINDO with employees who do not find an agreement on termination of employment. This research uses normative juridical research methods with a statutory approach and a case approach. The research results show that Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Establishment of Replacement Government Regulations Constitution Number 2 Year 2022 About Create Work Become Constitution has change a number of provision in Constitution Number 13 Year 2003 about Employment, including provisions regarding outsourced workforce. Based on comparison the old Employment Law and the Job Creation Law, it is necessary to realize that the Job Creation Law is also the same give rise to a number of controversy, specifically related protection power Work. A number of provisions in the Job Creation Law are considered to reduce protection for outsourcing workers, for example related provisions type work, time work, and severance pay. For That need done repair or revision on Law Number 6 Year 2023.

Subjects: Privacy
Information services

description: According to civil libertarians, Information technologies have provided the means of realizing :Jeremy' Bentham's intellectual vision of the Panopticon. They claim that we are now living in a society where massive amounts of information can be collected by government agencies and.commercial organizations, then stored, manipulated and used without the individual's knowledge or consent. Moreover, they contend that there are few, if any, avenues of recourse open to individuals who feel that their privacy has been abused through misuse of information in electronic form. This background paper traces the evolution of the privacy issue, reviews public and expert.opinion,on the subject.and examines some of the.major concerns about misuse of information services. It looks at the current state of privacy protection in Canada, with particular emphasis.on recent developments at.the federal level. It draws .some conclusions and suggests various options for action in Canada, including steps that the Department of Communications should take to address the privacy issue.
Constraining the range of Yukawa gravity interaction from S2 star orbits III: improvement expectations for graviton mass bounds

description: Recently, the LIGO-Virgo collaboration discovered gravitational waves and in their first publication on the subject the authors also presented a graviton mass constraint as $m_g < 1.2 \times 10^{-22}$ eV (Abbott et al., 2016). In the paper we analyze a potential to reduce upper bounds for graviton mass with future observational data on trajectories of bright stars near the Galactic Center. Since gravitational potentials are different for these two cases, expressions for relativistic advance for general relativity and Yukawa potential are different functions on eccentricity and semimajor axis, it gives an opportunity to improve current estimates of graviton mass with future observational facilities. In our considerations of an improvement potential for a graviton mass estimate we adopt a conservative strategy and assume that trajectories of bright stars and their apocenter advance will be described with general relativity expressions and it gives opportunities to improve graviton mass constraints. In contrast with our previous studies, where we present current constraints on parameters of Yukawa gravity (Borka et al., 2013) and graviton mass (Zakharov et al., 2016) from observations of S2 star, in the paper we express expectations to improve current constraints for graviton mass, assuming the GR predictions about apocenter shifts will be confirmed with future observations. We concluded that if future observations of bright star orbits during around fifty years will confirm GR predictions about apocenter shifts of bright star orbits it give an opportunity to constrain a graviton mass at a level around $5 \times 10^{-23}$ eV or slightly better than current estimates obtained with LIGO observations.
