Gadamer on the Event of Art, the Other, and a Gesture Toward a Gadamerian Approach to Free Jazz
Creators: name: Nielsen, Cynthia R.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2016
Subjects: Gadamer and alterity; Gadamer’s hermeneutical aesthetics; Gadamer and free jazz; hermeneutic identity; art’s dynamic ontology; tarrying with a work; Gadamer on contemporaneity; Gadamer and tradition

description: Several prominent contemporary philosophers, including Jürgen Habermas, John Caputo, and Robert Bernasconi, have at times painted a somewhat negative picture of Gadamer as not only an uncritical traditionalist, but also as one whose philosophical project fails to appreciate difference. Against such claims, I argue that Gadamer’s reflections on art exhibit a genuine appreciation for alterity not unrelated to his hermeneutical approach to the other. Thus, by bringing Gadamer’s reflections on our experience of art into conversation with key aspects of his philosophical hermeneutics, we are able to better assess the viability of Gadamer’s contributions to contemporary discussions of difference and alterity.

Sections two through six focus on key concepts in Gadamer’s account of art’s dynamic ontology and our experience of art. Such concepts include the play structure of art, hermeneutic identity, tarrying with a work, and contemporaneity. The opening sections provide not only a discussion of these central themes, but they also (1) draw attention to the various ways in which difference and otherness are integral to Gadamer’s account, and (2) utilize relevant musical examples that prepare the reader for a more focused discussion of a Gadamerian approach to free jazz in section seven. By highlighting how Gadamer’s understanding of art possesses a dialogical play structure, is characterized by identity and difference, requires actively engaged spectators and auditors, and is amenable to what many criticize as an unintelligible musical expression, viz. free jazz, Gadamer’s project is shown as other-affirming and open to ambiguity and dynamism. That is, the essential structures and concepts characterizing Gadamer’s reflections on art are likewise central to his overall hermeneutical project, and hence are not rightly described as un-attuned to difference or other-negating. Rather, Gadamer’s philosophical project upholds difference, since it requires a dialogical interplay between self and other that creates the possibility for a transformative experience.

Describing practices of priority setting in publicly funded health care systems of high-income countries
Creators: name: Seixas, Brayan V.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Spending in health care have grown considerably over the last decades in all developed countries. Aging populations and novel technologies are usually deemed as the main drivers for such unsustainable trend in the finances of health systems. In this scenario, setting priorities for investments becomes a central concern. Making hard choices in a rational, evidence-informed, systematic, transparent, legitimate, and fair manner has constituted an increasingly important target. Notwithstanding the voluminous body of literature in this area, most of work focus on developing and improving prescriptive approaches as well as presenting case studies. The present work aimed to describe existing practices of priority setting and resource allocation within the context of publicly funded health care systems of high-income countries. An online qualitative survey was used with decision makers and academics from 18 countries. Four hundred and fifty individuals were invited and 58 answered the survey questionnaire. We found that resource allocation in health care has been still largely done based on historical patterns and through ad hoc decisions, despite the wide understanding that decisions must be formally based on multiple explicit criteria. Health technology assessment (HTA) was the tool most commonly indicated by participants as a formal strategy of priority setting. Several approaches have been tested and published, with special emphasis on Program Budgeting and Marginal Analysis (PBMA), but there is limited evidence of their continuous and systematic use by health organizations across countries. A point of increasing convergence is the reliance of multiple types of evidence to judge the value of investment options. Disinvestment frameworks are very rare and the topic itself has only started to appear with any regularity. This work represents the first attempt to identify existing practices of priority setting in a systematic way through a qualitative descriptive study. Despite its methodological limitations, it provides a better understanding of the current scenario of policy making and research in this field.

description: Terzan 5 is a globular cluster-like stellar system in the Galactic Bulge which has been recently found to harbor two stellar populations with different iron content and probably different ages (Ferraro et al. 2009). This discovery suggests that Terzan 5 may be the relic of a primordial building block which contributed to the formation of the Galactic Bulge. Here we present a re-determination of the structural parameters (center of gravity, density and surface brightness profiles, total luminosity and mass) of Terzan 5, as obtained from the combination of high-resolution (ESO-MAD and HST ACS-WFC) and wide-field (ESO-WFI) observations. We find that Terzan 5 is significantly less concentrated and more massive than previously thought. Still it has the largest collision rate of any stellar aggregate in the Galaxy. We discuss the impact of these findings on the exceptional population of millisecond pulsars harbored in this stellar system.

Automorphic Equivalence within Gapped Phases of Quantum Lattice Systems

description: Gapped ground states of quantum spin systems have been referred to in the physics literature as being `in the same phase' if there exists a family of Hamiltonians H(s), with finite range interactions depending continuously on $s \in [0,1]$, such that for each $s$, H(s) has a non-vanishing gap above its ground state and with the two initial states being the ground states of H(0) and H(1), respectively. In this work, we give precise conditions under which any two gapped ground states of a given quantum spin system that 'belong to the same phase' are automorphically equivalent and show that this equivalence can be implemented as a flow generated by an $s$-dependent interaction which decays faster than any power law (in fact, almost exponentially). The flow is constructed using Hastings' 'quasi-adiabatic evolution' technique, of which we give a proof extended to infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. In addition, we derive a general result about the locality properties of the effect of perturbations of the dynamics for quantum systems with a quasi-local structure and prove that the flow, which we call the {\em spectral flow}, connecting the gapped ground states in the same phase, satisfies a Lieb-Robinson bound. As a result, we obtain that, in the thermodynamic limit, the spectral flow converges to a co-cycle of automorphisms of the algebra of quasi-local observables of the infinite spin system. This proves that the ground state phase structure is preserved along the curve of models $H(s), 0\leq s\leq 1$.

Year: 2016
Subjects: Slow learners, competition, labelling, Heidegger, Gadamer, hermeneutics, inclusion

description: These chapters follow the events described in Parts One to Three of this narrative. Max Hunter, a private detective, is still on the trail of “slow learners,” a category of students his client, educator John Williamson, claims are continually getting “lost” in Alberta’s school system. Max encounters philosophers, fellow educators, and even students labeled as slow learners, all of whom have suggestions for finding these students in ways that attend to them as learners while resisting the rigidity of their labelling. He also encounters an agent of a sinister operation who works to ensure that slow learners stay lost, and who intends to make Max disappear too.

Identification of the major cause of endemically poor mobilities in SiC/SiO2 structures

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Materials with good carrier mobilities are desired for device applications, but in real devices the mobilities are usually limited by the presence of interfaces and contacts. Mobility degradation at semiconductor-dielectric interfaces is generally attributed to defects at the interface or inside the dielectric, as is the case in Si/SiO2 structures, where processing does not introduce detrimental defects in the semiconductor. In the case of SiC/SiO2 structures, a decade of research focused on reducing or passivating interface and oxide defects, but the low mobilities have persisted. By invoking theoretical results and available experimental evidence, we show that thermal oxidation generates carbon di-interstitial defects inside the semiconductor substrate and that they are a major cause of the poor mobility in SiC/SiO2 structures.

description: Dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) is considered the most reliable circadian phase marker in humans. However, the methods to calculate it are diverse, which limits the comparability between studies. Given the key role of DLMO to diagnose circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders and determine the optimal timing of chronotherapies, the establishment of clear and validated guidelines on the methodology to assess DLMO is very important. We performed a repeatability study (n = 31) and an agreement study (n = 62) in healthy young adults with hourly blood samples collected under dim light conditions (<8 lux) during a chronobiological protocol. We assessed the repeatability of DLMO with three different methods (fixed threshold, dynamic threshold and hockey stick) across two nights and assessed agreement of each method with the mean visual estimation made by four chronobiologists. Analyses included Bland-Altman diagrams, intraclass correlation coefficients and equivalence tests. The repeatability of the four methods across two nights ranged from good to perfect. The agreement study highlighted that the hockey stick showed equivalent or superior performance (ICC: 0.95, mean difference with visual estimation: 5 min) in healthy subjects compared to the dynamic and fixed thresholds. Thanks to its objective nature, the hockey stick method may provide better estimates than the mean of the visual estimations of several raters. These findings suggest that the hockey stick method provides the most reliable estimate of DLMO within the tested methods and should be considered for use in future studies.
Invited Guest Editorial: Quaint Memories of Puzzling Through Mysteries
Creators: name: Field, James Colin
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2016

description: The incompleteness of meaning and the finitude of understanding suggest that the subject matters (die Sache) of understanding are mysteries rather than problems. Mysteries are not subject to the methodological solutions problems are. A problem denotes a difficulty demanding a solution. Mysteries however can only be understood more deeply. They are not to be explained away but are to be discerned as an ever-present limit to our understanding. They invoke an apprehension of a radical limitlessness (Davey, 2006, p. 29).

description: We make use of an inhomogeneous electrostatic dipole field to impart a quantum-state-dependent deflection to a pulsed beam of OCS molecules, and show that those molecules residing in the absolute ground state, $X ^1Σ^+$, $\ket{00^00}$, J=0, can be separated out by selecting the most deflected part of the molecular beam. Past the deflector, we irradiate the molecular beam by a linearly polarized pulsed nonresonant laser beam that impulsively aligns the OCS molecules. Their alignment, monitored via velocity-map imaging, is measured as a function of time, and the time dependence of the alignment is used to determine the quantum state composition of the beam. We find significant enhancements of the alignment (\costhetasqtd $= 0.84$) and of state purity ($> 92$%) for a state-selected, deflected beam compared with an undeflected beam.

description: The skin is a site of melatonin synthesis, and melatonin has a role in protecting against ultraviolet radiation-induced damage. Ultraviolet B (UVB) induced erythema seems to vary between morning and evening. We investigated whether epidermal melatonin immunoreactivities in the morning differed from those in the evening, and whether UVB-induced erythema was associated with these melatonin immunoreactivities in healthy volunteers. Erythema sensitivity of the skin was determined in the morning and in the evening by scoring the Minimal Erythema Dose and quantifying the erythema index (EI). We took biopsies from the non-UVB-exposed skin of healthy volunteers (n = 39) in the morning and in the evening to study melatonin immunoreactivity with immunohistochemistry (IHC). In the IHC staining, there was more melatonin immunoreactivity in the evening than in the morning (p < .001). Erythema was more pronounced in the evening than in the morning irradiated skin (p < .001). The graded amount of melatonin immunoreactivity in the samples was not associated with the EI. We discovered melatonin immunoreactivity of the non-irradiated skin to vary diurnally. However, endogenous skin melatonin does not seem to be the reason why NB-UVB induces more erythema in the evening than in the morning.

description: These concluding chapters follow the events described in the previous four parts of this narrative. Max Hunter, a private detective remains on the trail of “slow learners,” a category of students his client, educator John Williamson, claims are continually getting “lost” in Alberta’s school system. As this section begins Hunter and Williamson are in a bowling alley where they hope to remain undetected as they investigate recent reforms to Alberta’s special education system. At the conclusion of Part Four the detective and client read a terse statement on Alberta education’s website declaring that Action on Inclusion, the ambitious reform project “no longer exists.” These chapters examine the termination of this project, other recent educational reforms in the province and their impact on students labelled as slow learners, additional bureaucratic discourses that are toxic to slow learners and diversity in general, and a fleeting glimpse of hope involving how “slow” might be more generously reclaimed from its current deficit-based discursive usages.

description: In this paper I present an exemplar of interpretive writing based on my engagement with the movie, My Life as a Dog. The film is a series of vignettes about Ingemar, a young boy, who is processing the events which arise from the difficulties wrought by his mother’s illness. This is not the typical coming of age film where the child becomes an adult through the initiation into life’s painful circumstances. The film ends with the character still in his boyhood. Nevertheless, the intermittent voice-over conveys the impression that Ingemar is narrating in retrospect, in a build up to his emergence from a state of innocence to awareness, and acceptance of pain and loss. I attended to the principles of hermeneutic practice outlined by several scholars to frame my understanding of what it means to enter the hermeneutic circle to explore the topic which addressed me: Secrecy.

description: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) describes itself as a “fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism” (Alcoholics Anonymous, 2010). The fellowship has millions of members all around the world and the number of independent AA groups is counted in tens of thousands. In this article, I try to understand the recovery from alcoholism in the fellowship of AA as a meaning giving process where the alcoholic is invited to interpret the founding text of AA, Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism, and to appropriate the world that it opens in front of him. I focus on interpreting the symbolic language with which the Big Book of AA speaks of evil. I also explain how this symbolic language is related to recovery – i.e., how the alcoholic may find in the pages of the Big Book commonly shared symbols of stain, sin, and guilt which express his blind experience of evil.

Compassion, Necessity, and the Pharmakon of the Health Humanities
Creators: name: McCaffrey, Graham
Publisher: name: University of Calgary

Subjects: Health humanities; compassion; empathy

description: Health humanities is an emergent interdisciplinary field drawing on existing traditions of using resources from the arts and humanities in the education of health professionals. Cultivation of compassion is often cited, though not without some debate, as a fit goal for the health humanities. In this paper, I undertake a critical reappraisal of the presumed link between health humanities and compassion. Firstly, I propose a model of the health humanities that takes up Derrida’s figure of the pharmakon, as polyvalent medicine or poison (among other meanings). Unlike Derrida, however, I treat the pharmakon as a substance, even when referring to arts and humanities. I then offer examples of negative effects of the pharmakon that both attest to its potency and unsettle comfortable assumptions that it is necessarily benign. Finally, I take up themes from Simone Weil’s reading of the Iliad to propose that necessity may be a useful alternative, or addition, to the ways we think about the goals of the health humanities

description: The single graphene layer is a novel material consisting of a flat monolayer of carbon atoms packed in a two-dimensional honeycomb-lattice, in which the electron dynamics is governed by the Dirac equation. A pseudo-spin phase-space approach based on the Wigner-Weyl formalism is used to describe the transport of electrons in graphene including quantum effects. Our full-quantum mechanical representation of the particles reveals itself to be particularly close to the classical description of the particle motion. We analyze the Klein tunneling and the correction to the total current in graphene induced by this phenomenon. The equations of motion are analytically investigated and some numerical tests are presented. The temporal evolution of the electron-hole pairs in the presence of an external electric field and a rigid potential step is investigated. The connection of our formalism with the Barry-phase approach is also discussed.

description: Bright light therapy (BLT) is a promising non-pharmacological treatment for a range of psychiatric conditions. The goal of this review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the efficacy of BLT across mental and behavioral illnesses. Using systematic umbrella review methodology, we searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating BLT for any mental or behavioral illness from the date of inception until March 2021. Review quality was assessed using the AMSTAR 2 tool and summary efficacy data were extracted from recent reviews. Of 792 unique records, 67 systematic reviews were included which targeted a range of disorders related to mood, neurocognition, sleep, and eating. Recent meta-analyses targeting seasonal or non-seasonal depression found that BLT outperformed light-related control conditions. Reviews of other disorders identified few RCTs and generally did not support the efficacy of BLT for various outcomes. Overall, the extant literature supports the efficacy of BLT for seasonal and non-seasonal depression, although higher quality systematic reviews are needed to increase confidence in these findings. There was no specific funding for this review, and it was preregistered on Prospero (ID: CRD42021240751).

description: We investigate FeII emission in Broad Line Region (BLR) of AGNs by analyzing the FeII(UV), FeII(4570) and MgII emission lines in 884 quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar catalog in a redshift range of 0.727 < z < 0.804. FeII(4570)/FeII(UV) is used to infer the column density of FeII-emitting clouds and explore the excitation mechanism of FeII emission lines. As suggested before in various works, the classical photoionization models fail to account for FeII(4570)/FeII(UV) by a factor of 10, which may suggest anisotropy of UV FeII emission; otherwise, an alternative heating mechanism like shock is working. The column density distribution derived from FeII(4570)/FeII(UV) indicates that radiation pressure plays an important role in BLR gas dynamics. We find a positive correlation between FeII(4570)/FeII(UV) and the Eddington ratio. We also find that almost all FeII-emitting clouds are to be under super-Eddington conditions unless ionizing photon fraction is much smaller than that previously suggested. Finally we propose a physical interpretation of a striking set of correlations between various emission-line properties, known as ``Eigenvector 1''.

Role of ubiquitin-specific protease 25 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease in Down syndrome
Creators: name: Song, Beibei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities. Trisomy 21, an extra copy of human chromosome 21, causes the majority of DS cases. After middle age, individuals with DS inevitably develop Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by extracellular amyloid plaque deposition, intracellular neuritic fibrillary tangles and neuronal loss. The extracellular amyloid plaques are made of amyloid β (Aβ) proteins derived from β- and γ- cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). The abnormal accumulation of Aβ proteins plays an essential role in AD pathogenesis. Ubiquitin-specific protease 25 (USP25) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that locates in the DS critical region of human chromosome 21. It is overexpressed in DS patients and has been shown involved in a variety of cellular processes, including immunity, myogenesis and protein degradation. However, the potential role of USP25 in neurodegenerative diseases has not been examined yet. This thesis entails an examination of the role of USP25 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease in Down Syndrome. First, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of human USP25 gene. We identified a functional SP1 binding site within its 5’ promoter region. We found that Sp1 signaling up-regulated USP25 transcription. Then we showed that USP25 affected APP processing by slowing down the degradation of APP and BACE1. It also altered the intracellular trafficking of BACE1 and promoted C-terminal fragment (CTF) production, indicating its role in amyloidogenic pathway in AD pathogenesis. In the third chapter, we examined the effects of USP25 on neuronal survival and proliferation. We found that USP25 overexpression facilitated oxidative stress-induced cell death and caspase-3 activation through inhibiting NF-κB activation. It upregulation also affects cell cycle regulation both during embryonic neurogenesis and adulthood cortical development. In summary, this study investigated the effect of USP25 in the development of AD in DS. It demonstrated for the first time that USP25 overexpression contributes to the development of AD pathology by regulating APP processing, affecting neurogenesis. Our findings indicated that USP25 may serve as a potential pharmacological target for treating AD specifically in DS.

description: Relatively independent joinings of W*-dynamical systems are constructed. This is intimately related to subsystems of W*-dynamical systems, and therefore we also study general properties of subsystems, in particular fixed point subsystems and compact subsystems. This allows us to obtain characterizations of weak mixing and relative ergodicity, as well as of certain compact subsystems, in terms of joinings.

description: The present study had two main aims. First, to investigate whether shift/night workers had a higher prevalence and severity of COVID-19 compared with day workers. Second, to investigate whether people regularly working in face-to-face settings during the pandemic exhibited a higher prevalence and severity of COVID-19 compared with those having no need to be in close contact with others at work. Data consisted of 7141 workers from 15 countries and four continents who participated in the International COVID Sleep Study-II (ICOSS-II) between May and December 2021. The associations between work status and a positive COVID-19 test and several indications of disease severity were tested with chi-square tests and logistic regressions adjusted for relevant confounders. In addition, statistical analyses were conducted for the associations between face-to-face work and COVID-19 status. Results showed that shift/night work was not associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 compared to day work. Still, shift/night workers reported higher odds for moderate to life-threatening COVID-19 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.71, 95%-confidence interval = 1.23–5.95) and need for hospital care (aOR = 5.66, 1.89–16.95). Face-to-face work was associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 (aOR = 1.55, 1.12–2.14) but not with higher disease severity. In conclusion, shift/night work was not associated with an increased risk of COVID-19, but when infected, shift/night workers reported more severe disease. Impaired sleep and circadian disruption commonly seen among shift/night workers may be mediating factors. Working face-to-face increased the risk of COVID-19, likely due to increased exposure to the virus. However, face-to-face work was not associated with increased disease severity.
