The Metis aboriginal rights revolution
Creators: name: Stevenson, Mark L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: When the Metis were included in section 35 of the Constitution Act 1982, Metis leaders were euphoric. With the constitutional recognition of the Metis as on of the three Aboriginal peoples of Canada and the protection of Metis Aboriginal rights in section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, it was thought that the battle for recognition was over. Surely the next step would be the federal government's recognition of its jurisdiction for the Metis and the recognition by the courts and the Crown that Metis have Aboriginal rights that can be exercised along with those of the Indians and the Inuit. But Metis expectations were short lived. More than twenty years later, Canada refuses to recognize it has legislative jurisdiction for the Metis, arguing that Metis are a provincial legislative responsibility. And both the federal and provincial governments have failed to conduct themselves in keeping with the principle of the "honour of the Crown" because they consistently deny that Metis have Aboriginal rights. Whenever Metis harvesters attempt to exercise their rights, the Crown is there as a game warden, prosecutor or jailor, but never as a fiduciary to maintain the Crown's honour. The Crown often argues that without a clear understanding of Metis definition and identity, Metis Aboriginal rights would be too difficult to administer. More importantly, the Crown has argued that if Aboriginal rights are linked with pre-contact customs practices and traditions, the Metis could not possibly meet the Aboriginal rights test that has been established by the courts. But then came the decision in R. v. Powley making it clear that the Metis are a distinct people, separate from the Indians and the Inuit, with Aboriginal rights flowing from the customs, practices and traditions of Metis communities that emerged subsequent to the period of first contact, and prior to the exercise of "effective control" by the Crown. The Supreme Court of Canada found in favor of Powley by using a "purposive" approach in the analysis of Metis Aboriginal rights and by not mechanically applying the section 35 justification analysis. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a core set of principles that can be used as a framework for a purposive analysis of Metis Aboriginal rights. The principles support the propositions that: Metis fall within the exclusive legislative jurisdiction of the federal government; that Metis have Aboriginal rights that are recognized and affirmed by section 35; and, that Metis Aboriginal rights are immunized from the application of provincial wildlife regulations because of the doctrine of interjurisdictional immunity.

description: The perception of color is an important cognitive feature of the human brain. The variety of colors that impinge upon the human eye can trigger changes in brain activity which can be captured using electroencephalography (EEG). In this work, we have designed a multiclass classification model to detect the primary colors from the features of raw EEG signals. In contrast to previous research, our method employs spectral power features, statistical features as well as correlation features from the signal band power obtained from continuous Morlet wavelet transform instead of raw EEG, for the classification task. We have applied dimensionality reduction techniques such as Forward Feature Selection and Stacked Autoencoders to reduce the dimension of data eventually increasing the model's efficiency. Our proposed methodology using Forward Selection and Random Forest Classifier gave the best overall accuracy of 80.6\% for intra-subject classification. Our approach shows promise in developing techniques for cognitive tasks using color cues such as controlling Internet of Thing (IoT) devices by looking at primary colors for individuals with restricted motor abilities.

description: By employing the multilevel algorithm in numerical Monte Carlo simulations, we evaluate the static potential in four dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory with no dynamical fermions, for static sources in the j=1/2,1,3/2 representations. We find data supporting the Casimir scaling hypothesis. With the same technique we show that the ratio of the logarithm of Wilson loops in the j=2 and j=1/2 representations, as a function of the area of the loops, also satisfies Casimir scaling.

description: The integration of shop floor automation systems with enterprise-level applications has become a critical imperative in the era of smart manufacturing. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for designing and implementing effective integration solutions that bridge the gap between shop floor operations and higherlevel business processes. We propose a multi-layered approach addressing data model alignment, system interoperability, workflow automation, and security. The framework incorporates semantic data integration, real-time communication middleware, microservices-based architecture, and a robust security model. Through theoretical analysis, we evaluate the potential impact of this framework on operational efficiency, quality control, and strategic decision-making. Our findings highlight the transformative potential of integrated shop floorenterprise architectures in driving digital transformation and operational excellence in the manufacturing sector.

description: Nowadays, there is a great deal of interest in applying sustainability concepts for logistics and supply chain management. This paper proposes a new multi objective model in the area of closed loop supply chain problem integrated with lot sizing by considering lean, agility and sustainability factors simultaneously. In this regard, responsiveness, environmental, social and economic aspects are regarded in the model in addition to the capacity and service-level constraints. Most importantly, strategic and operational backup decisions are developed to increase the resiliency of the system against disruption of the facilities and routes simultaneously. In the following, a new hybrid metaheuristic algorithm comprised a parallel Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PMOPSO) algorithm and a multi objective social engineering optimizer (MOSEO) is developed to deal with large size problems efficiency. To ensure about the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid algorithm, the results of this algorithm are compared with a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II).

description: We investigate long time numerical simulations of the inviscid Rayleigh-Taylor instability at Atwood number one using a boundary integral method. We are able to attain the asymptotic behavior for the spikes predicted by Clavin & Williams\cite{clavin} for which we give a simplified demonstration. In particular we observe that the spike's curvature evolves like $t^3$ while the overshoot in acceleration shows a good agreement with the suggested $1/t^5$ law. Moreover, we obtain consistent results for the prefactor coefficients of the asymptotic laws. Eventually we exhibit the self-similar behavior of the interface profile near the spike.

description: Initial value problem in General Relativity is often solved numerically; with only a few exceptions one of which is the "model" solution of Bowen and York where an analytical form of the solution is available. The solution describes a dynamical, time-asymmetric, gravitating system with mass and linear momentum. Here we revisit this solution and correct an error which turns out to be important for identifying the energy-content of the solution. Depending on the linear momentum, the ratio of the non-stationary part of the initial energy to the total ADM energy takes values between $[0, 0.592)$. This non-stationary part is expected to be turned into gravitational waves during the evolution of the system to possibly settle down to a black hole with mass and linear momentum. In the ultra-relativistic case (the high momentum limit), the maximum amount of gravitational wave energy is $59.2 \%$ of the total ADM energy. We also give a detailed account of the general solution of the Hamiltonian constraint.

description: The paper describes the main tendencies and perspectives of development of rural areas in Ukraine. It emphasizes that the key reason of existing socio-economic issues in rural regions is the absence of well-defined rural development policy. Thus, it is necessary for Ukraine to implement long-term rural policy, as it takes place in countries of the European Union. Rural development should be based on the territorial approach. The special attention should be paid to the creation of local action groups. Hence, it is essential to introduce a program, similar to the LEADER initiative, to use local possibilities, and to implement the bottom-up approach for the solution of rural issues. Also, special strategies should be developed to expand non-farm rural activities. The above-mentioned measures will give good opportunities to improve the socio-economic situation in rural areas, to increase the standard of living of rural people, and to enhance the competitiveness of the rural economy.

We then describe the implementation of integrated programming approaches, referring data to the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. The results give us the opportunity to identify a number of projects that were developed among several stakeholders to potentially create and promote a local district.

description: The Mid Term Review introduced a decoupling of agricultural support from production decisions, although with opt-out clauses for specific payments in particular sectors. The ‘Health Check’ seeks to deepen the degree of decoupling, whilst importantly for Spain, offers the option of extending this model of support to the fruit and vegetables sectors. Employing a computable general equilibrium model, this paper sets out to quantitatively assess the agro-food and macroeconomic impacts of the Mid Term Review and Health Check proposals in Spain. With greater decoupling, agricultural output falls slightly, whilst resources are reallocated in favour of arable activities.

description: The existing typologies of innovation sources rely on classification criterions which are excessively generalist and developed under the consideration of private owned organisations. The present paper seeks to shed light on the special structural and operative features of agrifood cooperatives demanding a more comprehensive classification of innovation sources. A sample from the agrifood cooperative industry was selected as the scenario of the empirical research. Findings reveal a classification proposal of innovation sources into four differentiated groups (managers, technology, market and normative context) with regard to the management orientation of change (strategic vs. technical/legal) and the strength motivating the innovation (internal vs. external).

description: The excess of electron recoil events seen by the XENON1T experiment has been interpreted as a potential signal of axion-like particles (ALPs), either produced in the Sun, or constituting part of the dark matter halo of the Milky Way. It has also been explained as a consequence of trace amounts of tritium in the experiment. We consider the evidence for the solar and dark-matter ALP hypotheses from the combination of XENON1T data and multiple astrophysical probes, including horizontal branch stars, red giants, and white dwarfs. We briefly address the influence of ALP decays and supernova cooling. While the different datasets are in clear tension for the case of solar ALPs, all measurements can be simultaneously accommodated for the case of a sub-dominant fraction of dark-matter ALPs. Nevertheless, this solution requires the tuning of several a priori unknown parameters, such that for our choices of priors a Bayesian analysis shows no strong preference for the ALP interpretation of the XENON1T excess over the background hypothesis.

description: The paper presents a simple extension of the Barabasi-Albert model of network evolution. This model is based upon the assumption that new links are formed not only according to the centrality of other nodes in a network but geodetic distance is also important in link formation. Simulation results show that if link formation is based on distance then the resulting network is more clustered than in the case of centrality being the dominant factor in link formation. Our empirical results show that in European regional patent inventor networks distance is a considerably more important factor in link formation than network centrality.

description: Spin waves in antiferromagnetic materials have great potential for next-generation magnonic technologies. However, their properties and their dependence on the type of ground-state antiferromagnetic structure are still open questions. Here, we investigate theoretically spin waves in one- and two-dimensional model systems with a focus on noncollinear antiferromagnetic textures such as spin spirals and skyrmions of opposite topological charges. We address in particular the nonreciprocal spin excitations recently measured in bulk antiferromagnet $α$--$\text{Cu}_2\text{V}_2\text{O}_7$ utilizing inelastic neutron scattering experiments [Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ \textbf{119}, 047201 (2017)], where we help to characterize the nature of the detected spin-wave modes. Furthermore, we discuss how the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction can lift the degeneracy of the spin-wave modes in antiferromagnets, resembling the electronic Rashba splitting. We consider the spin-wave excitations in antiferromagnetic spin-spiral and skyrmion systems and discuss the features of their inelastic scattering spectra. We demonstrate that antiskyrmions can be obtained with an isotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in certain antiferromagnets.

Diagnosis. Body inflated. Dorsal cephalic shield well defined from metasome, with or without paired posterolateral horn-like processes. Metasome unsegmented, longer than wide, gradually broadening posteriorly. Freeurosome 5-segmented. Caudalramus small; caudal setae obscure or absent. Rostrum present. Antennule 6- or 7-segmented; setae small, not discernible from setules. Labrum weak. Mandible consistingof coxa with straight, pectinate medial margin, and palp comprising basis bearing 1 seta, exopod bearing 5 setae, and 2-segmented endopod bearing 1 and 4 setae on first and second segments, respectively. Maxillule with 3 or 4 setae on arthrite, 1 on coxal epipodite; coxal endite absent; exopod and endopod fused with basis, with 7 or 8 setae (3 or 4 on exopodal region, 3 on endopodal region, and 1 on basis region). Maxilla 3-segmented; syncoxa with 3 endites; basis with strong claw only; endopod unsegmented, armed with 3 setae. Maxilliped as small lobe bearing 4 to 8 setae. Swimming legs with reduced segmentation and setation; inner coxal seta absent. Leg 1 with 1- or 2-segmented rami; inner distal seta of basis present or absent. Legs 2–4 each with indistinctly 2- segmented exopod; endopod absent or represented by small knob. Leg 5 vestigial or represented by 2 small lobes.
Type species. Ctenixys pusilla gen. et sp. nov. by original designation.
Other included species. Ctenixys abdominalis (Stock, 1967) comb. nov. (originally as Demoixys abdominalis) and C. affinis (Stock & Humes, 1970) comb. nov. (originally as Demoixys affinis).
Etymology. The generic name is the combination of the Greek cten (=comb) and ixys, the ending of many generic names in the family Notodelphyidae. It alludes to the comb-like medial margin on the coxal gnathobase of the mandible.
Remarks. Demoixys abdominalis Stock, 1967 and D. affinis Stock & Humes, 1970 are here transferred into Ctenixys gen. nov. The significant synapomorphy shared by all speciesof the new genus is the pectinate medial margin of the coxal gnathobase of the mandible. This form of coxal gnathobase, which lacks defined teeth on the medial margin, is distinctly different from that of Demoixys which bears between 3 and 5 teeth.

description: Introducing thresholds to analyze time series of emission from the Sun enables a new and simple definition of solar flare events, and their interoccurrence times. Rescaling time by the rate of events, the waiting and quiet time distributions both conform to scaling functions that are independent of the intensity threshold over a wide range. The scaling functions are well described by a two parameter function, with parameters that depend on the phase of the solar cycle. For flares identified according to the current, standard definition, similar behavior is found.

description: We used the OGLE-II and OGLE-III photometry of red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud to select and study objects revealing ellipsoidal variability. We detected 1546 candidates for long period ellipsoidal variables and 121 eclipsing binary systems with clear ellipsoidal modulation. The ellipsoidal red giants follow a period-luminosity (PL) relationship (sequence E), and the scatter of the relation is correlated with the amplitude of variability: the larger the amplitude, the smaller the scatter. We note that some of the ellipsoidal candidates exhibit simultaneously OGLE Small Amplitude Red Giants pulsations. Thus, in some cases the Long Secondary Period (LSP) phenomenon can be explained by the ellipsoidal modulation. We also select about 1600 red giants with distinct LSP, which are not ellipsoidal variables. We discover that besides the sequence D in the PL diagram known before, the LSP giants form additional less numerous sequence for longer periods. We notice that the PL sequence of the ellipsoidal candidates is a direct continuation of the LSP sequence toward fainter stars, what might suggest that the LSP phenomenon is related to binarity but there are strong arguments against such a possibility. About 10% of the presented light curves reveal clear deformation by the eccentricity of the system orbits. The largest estimated eccentricity in our sample is about 0.4. All presented data, including individual BVI observations and finding charts are available from the OGLE Internet archive.

description: Control of nonlinear response of nanostructures via path interference effects, i.e., Fano resonances, has been studied extensively. In such studies, a frequency conversion process takes place near a hot spot. Here, we study the case where the frequency conversion process takes place \textit{along the body of a nonlinear crystal}. Metal nanoparticle-quantum emitter dimers control the down-conversion process, taking place throughout the crystal body, via introducing interfering conversion paths. Dimers behave as interaction centers. We show that a 2 orders of magnitude enhancement is possible, on top of the enhancement due to localization effects. That is, this factor multiplies the enhancement taking place due to the field localization.

Diagnosis. Body globular or stout. Dorsal cephalic shield with or without horn-like posterolateral processes. Free urosome small, 2- to 5-segmented. Caudalramus small, poorly defined from anal somite; caudal setae at most 5 in number or apparently absent. Rostrum distinct.Antennule small, unsegmented or at most 6-segmented.Antenna 3- or 4-segmented, with small terminal claw. Mandible bearing 3 to 6 teeth on coxal gnathobase; armed with 1 seta on basis, 2 to 5 on exopod, and at most 6 on 1- or 2-segmented endopod. Maxillule as in Doroixys or much reduced to bilobed appendage; coxal epipodite usually present, but coxal endite absent. Maxilla 3- or 4-segmented; syncoxa with 3 endites at most; basis withlarge claw; endopod 1- or 2-segmented, armed with total of 4 setae at most. Maxilliped as small lobe bearing 2 to 6 setae. Legs 1–4 variously reduced, weak, consistingof indistinctly 2- segmented rami, or further reduced to 2 small lobes or rudimentary knob. Leg 5 absent, or represented by outer lobe and tapering inner process, or represented by lobe.
Type species: Demoixys chattoni Illg & Dudley, 1961, by original designation.
Remarks. The genus Demoixys was poorly defined in the original report of Illg & Dudley (1961) who differentiated between it and other notodelphyids by its weakly segmented, inflated body, its reduced antennular segmentation, and the highly modified mouthparts and legs. It can be distinguished from Mesoixys by the form of the mandible (which has a styliform coxal gnathobase in Mesoixys), and by the 5-segmented maxilla (Humes & Stock, 1970). It can be distinguished from both Lobodelphys and Paralobodelphys Gotto, 1981, because both of these genera lack a coxal gnathobase on the mandible.

description: Natural selection explains both how and why biological organisms appear well adapted to their environments. Some of the most successful tests of our understanding of adaptation have focused on two phenomena: trade-offs, when organisms have to simultaneously optimise multiple conflicting objectives; and conflicts, when organisms – or their constituent genes – have different inclusive fitness agendas. In this thesis, I explore both of these phenomena, with a particular focus on problems relating to sex. Part I focuses on trade-offs between female and male fitness. I consider how different genetical systems, sexual ecologies, and life-history details modulate the relative weights placed on female and male fitness, and thus generate biases concerning the fates of such sexually antagonistic alleles. Part II focuses on conflicts within the genome which may emerge when genes differ in how they flow between males and females. Combined with sex-specific aspects of demography and ecology, this may result in genes placing different values upon the fitness of their carrier and social partners. I explore a series of such models, considering how intragenomic conflicts may emerge over various intersexual and intrasexual social behaviours.

description: With this study, I want to draw the attention to an on and on appearing problem. The problem is a product of the legislation and thus the solution also ought to be provided by the legislation as soon as possible. In Hungary, the proprietary right of the areas existing in agricultural cultivation branch is protected by statutes since 1994: according to this only Hungarian citizen can be owner of agricultural areas; foreign citizen not (except if inheriting an area of this kind). Firms may acquire proprietary right on agricultural areas only if they deal with agriculture as main activity in a verifiable manner in Hungary for at least 3 years. This restriction is valid till 2011 (possibly 2014). Everyone looks for respectively hunted for the wicket-doors which, however, are associated with a number of risks.

description: The process of gradual administrative and political decentralization in Bulgaria started in 1991, but the real financial decentralization process started in the beginning of 2003 with the adoption of a comparatively clear expenditure assignment and introduction of a transparent and predictable intergovernmental transfer system. Step by step, local governments have been given full control over some of the own-source revenues (local fees, service prices and revenues from municipal asset management) and limited control over the local tax levy. This study is intended to examine and critically analyze the financial decentralization reform in Bulgaria, outlining the key achievements and basic weaknesses of expenditure assignment, local taxation and intergovernmental fiscal relations. The results indicate that local governments gradually became powerful component of the public sector. Although reducing financial resources of the public sector, worldwide economic and financial crisis can turn into an opportunity for some of the local governments in the country to gain financial independence and concentrate the efforts on strengthening local tax capacity.

description: Kaum eine deutsche Region ergab so viele steinzeitliche Artefakte wie die Insel Rügen. Daher sind auch in den meisten deutschen Museen derartige Fundstücke – meist mit der Bezeichnung „Rügen“ – erhalten. Erst jüngste Forschungen bzw. Ausgrabungen sind dem Charakter jener Jahrtausende auf der Spur. Der Beginn archäologischer Entdeckungen lässt sich bis in das frühe 19. Jh. verfolgen. Diesem Zeitraum ist der vorliegende Beitrag in gebotener Kürze gewidmet. Auffallend dabei, dass es die umliegenden Städte Stralsund, Greifswald und Stettin (heute Szczecin) mit ihren wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen waren, die Sammlungen rügenscher Steingeräte aufbauten und Forschungen betrieben – Rügen hat bis heute kein eigenes vor- und frühgeschichtliches Museum. Lediglich der auf Rügen geborene Historiker Johann Jacob Grümbke (1771–1849) gab 1805 und 1819 erste Inventare und Interpretationen der oberirdischen Bodendenkmale.

description: A novel method of synthesis of tin dioxide quantum dots employing Camellia sinensis shoots as reducing agent and stabilizer is presented. The quantum dots were characterized by UV spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The crystalline tin dioxide quantum dots with an average size of 4.3 nm were of flake like morphology capped by phenolic compounds of Camellia sinensis. The quantum dots were employed for the photocatalytic degradation of thiamethoxam resulting in 57% degradation within 45 mins.

description: If we as species are going to survive, farming is the humanity's very foundation we must adapt. Technology is changing the way we do farming, not with least powerful computers but computers powered with Machine Learning Algorithms. ML provides knowledge to farmers in the form of Crop Management, Soil health and Weather facts. This technology enhances crop production yields by a lot to guide farmers with decisions on when and where farming choices are made, including what to plant, how much water we have to use for irrigation and effective pest control. ML increases output not by just using resources well and cutting waste, it also helps in convenience for farming to last more so that we can find enough what we eat to feed millions in a healthy manner.
Quantifying the global parameter tensions between ACT, SPT and Planck

description: The overall cosmological parameter tension between the Atacama Cosmology Telescope 2020 (ACT) and Planck 2018 data within the concordance cosmological model is quantified using the suspiciousness statistic to be 2.6$σ$. Between ACT and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) we find a tension of 2.4$σ$, and 2.8$σ$ between ACT and Planck+SPT combined. While it is unclear whether the tension is caused by statistical fluctuations, systematic effects or new physics, caution should be exercised in combining these cosmic microwave background datasets in the context of the $Λ$CDM standard model of the universe.

description: Device pairing in large Internet of Things (IoT) deployments is a challenge for device manufacturers and users. Bluetooth offers a comparably smooth trust on first use pairing experience. Bluetooth, though, is well-known for security flaws in the pairing process. In this paper, we analyze how Apple improves the security of Bluetooth pairing while still maintaining its usability and specification compliance. The proprietary protocol that resides on top of Bluetooth is called MagicPairing. It enables the user to pair a device once with Apple's ecosystem and then seamlessly use it with all their other Apple devices. We analyze both, the security properties provided by this protocol, as well as its implementations. In general, MagicPairing could be adapted by other IoT vendors to improve Bluetooth security. Even though the overall protocol is well-designed, we identified multiple vulnerabilities within Apple's implementations with over-the-air and in-process fuzzing.
Economics and the equitable utilization of transboundary freshwater
Creators: name: Stoeckel, Katherine Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Equitable utilization is the fundamental rule of international water law. It is the doctrine responsible for the fair allocation of international waters as between different water uses and users. Equitable utilization is a process whereby the interests of each watercourse state are taken into consideration on a case-by-case basis over time and as circumstances change. The process occurs through political negotiations, with an equitable outcome as the goal. However, the debilitated state of many transbouhdary watercourses today indicates that equitable utilization - despite its admirable goals - is failing to resolve the tragedy of the global freshwater commons. With growing demands on water resources due to increasing world population, economic industrialization and increasing awareness of the need for environmental conservation, water management is an issue that will only become more pressing. Watercourses that flow between two or more states face additional challenges in that the water resources must be shared between them. The central question of this thesis is whether greater use of economics would help the equitable utilization paradigm lead to higher standards of water management between upstream and downstream states. The benefits of the economic approach include optimal efficiency of water use, political feasibility in water negotiations, and flexibility across time and regions. Although there are technical, distributive, and moral limitations to the use of economic principles, they can be sufficiently addressed such that the economic approach ought to be a central part of the solution to the problem of global water scarcity. Greater use of economic incentives needs to be made within equitable utilization regimes. Sensible ' pricing of water is imperative. Markets for water, however, are not yet a feasible option because they require well-defined, secure, and enforceable property rights in water, all of which are difficult to achieve at the international level.
Two-photon-exchange effects in the electro-excitation of the $Δ$ resonance

description: We evaluate the two-photon exchange contribution to the $e N \to e Δ(1232) \to e πN$ process at large momentum transfer with the aim of a precision study of the ratios of electric quadrupole (E2) and Coulomb quadrupole (C2) to the magnetic dipole (M1) $γ^* N Δ$ transitions. We relate the two-photon exchange amplitude to the $N \to Δ$ generalized parton distributions and obtain a quantitative estimate of the two-photon effects. The two-photon exchange corrections to the C2/M1 ratio depend strongly on whether this quantity is obtained from an interference cross section or from the Rosenbluth-type cross sections, in similarity with the elastic, $e N \to e N$, process.

Relation between the chiral and deconfinement phase transitions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Lattice QCD simulations at finite temperature have shown that the chiral phase transition in the chiral limit and the deconfinement phase transition in the quenched limit are continuously connected. I emphasize the nontriviality of this result and propose an unconventional scenario which naturally explains the existing lattice data. The continuity of the two phase transitions is a manifestation of the familiar glueball-meson mixing, which can be traced back to the properties of QCD at zero temperature.
