Linking girls’ experiences in physical activity to school culture and social and political contexts : elements of an exemplary model
Creators: name: Fenton, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity experiences of grade four girls living in a low income multiracial community, by taking into account how the school culture and the broader social and political contexts shaped (and are shaped by) these experiences. Research questions were posed in four areas: i) how did the girls experience physical activity? ii) how did the social context (e.g. low income, multiracial community and relationships with community organizations, police, and parents) influence these experiences? iii) how did the school culture shape these experiences? and iv) how did the political context (e.g. Ministry of Education policy, budget reductions) influence program provision? The research methodology involved an examination of grade four girls' physical activity experiences, the practices and beliefs of the physical education instructor, principal, and two grade four teachers in the case study school, and an analysis of relevant documents to the planned physical education program. The data was analyzed using the qualitative software program, Q.S.R. NUDIST. Five prominent themes, two of which were seldom addressed in the literature, emerged from the experiences of the girls. Issues around safety and fair play were important to the girls, but were not recognized to the same degree by the literature or by others in this study. The importance of "having fun," gender relations, and the physical education instructor were factors that confirmed the findings of previous studies (Griffin, 1989; Jaffee & Manzer, 1992; Talbot, 1993; Humbert, 1995). Although the girls enjoyed the program, how the girls interpreted their experiences did not always correspond to the intentions of those providing it. By situating the girls' experiences within the social and political contexts and school culture, additional insights surfaced. The teachers described high incidences of crime, and family and social problems, while an examination of the school culture revealed a school that recognized that a planned physical education program could make a difference in these students' lives. It also revealed an acknowledgement of social class inequities, but at the same time gender and racial differences were ignored. The political context arose primarily through the strategies and policies designed to deal with social class issues. Although the results indicated discrepancies between the girls' experiences and the school's intentions, the school's commitment to a planned physical education program reflected elements of an exemplary model.

description: Globular clusters (GCs) are thought to be ancient relics from the early formative phase of galaxies, although their physical origin remains uncertain. GCs are most numerous around massive elliptical galaxies, where they can exhibit a broad colour dispersion, suggesting a wide metallicity spread. Here, we show that many thousands of compact and massive (~5$\times$10$^{\rm 3}-$3$\times$ 10$^{\rm 6} M_{\odot}$) star clusters have formed at an approximately steady rate over, at least, the past ~1Gyr around NGC 1275, the central giant elliptical galaxy of the Perseus cluster. Beyond ~1Gyr, these star clusters are indistinguishable in broadband optical colours from the more numerous GCs. Their number distribution exhibits a similar dependence with luminosity and mass as the GCs, whereas their spatial distribution resembles a filamentary network of multiphase gas associated with cooling of the intracluster gas. The sustained formation of these star clusters demonstrates that progenitor GCs can form over cosmic history from cooled intracluster gas, thus contributing to both the large number and broad colour dispersion$-$owing to an age spread, in addition to a spread in metallicity$-$of GCs in massive elliptical galaxies. The progenitor GCs have minimal masses well below the maximal masses of Galactic open star clusters, affirming a common formation mechanism for star clusters over all mass scales irrespective of their formative pathways.

description: Sound absorbing materials are usually defined by five parameters: open porosity, static airflow resistivity, tortuosity, and two characteristic lengths. In recent decades, different methods have been developed in order to characterize these parameters. These methods may be divided following three approaches: i) inverse, ii) indirect and iii) direct. The inverse approach is based on an optimisation problem where the material parameters are adjusted in the acoustic model to reproduce acoustical measurements. The indirect approach is based on the acoustical model from which analytical expressions linking the material parameters to acoustical measurements are derived. Contrary to the previous two approaches, the direct approach is not based on acoustical measurements. It is based on the physical and mathematical definition of the parameters and requires dedicated equipments. In this study, the five parameters have been measured for different porous materials using some direct, indirect and inverse methods. A comparison of the different results is carried out, and shows that the different methods may yield large variability in the found parameters. A discussion is given to explain the observed variability and the limitations of the methods.

Exploring Youth Interest in Post-Secondary Education in a Rural Town
Creators: Mayan, Maria
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

SSHRC PEG awarded 2023: This project explores one rural community’s attempt to address its dependence on jobs in the oil and gas industry, youth out-migration, and low post-secondary education attainment. In 2020 Drayton Valley, a rural oil and gas town of 7,000 people (Statistics Canada, 2023), implemented a tuition assistance program called Zero-Fee Tuition (ZFT). The ZFT program enables residents to learn where they live by providing $5,000 to residents enrolled in select post-secondary education programs. While the town has seen broad uptake with approximately 20 students enrolling in ZFT each year, only three youth have enrolled in ZFT within three years of completing high school.

description: In this paper, we develop a politico-economic model to analyze the relationship between the mode of international investment and institutional quality in a non-democratic capital importing country. Foreign investors from a capital-rich North can either purchase productive assets in a capital-poor South and transfer their capital within integrated multinational firms or they can form joint ventures with local asset owners. The South is ruled by an autocratic elite that may use its political power to expropriate productive assets. In a joint venture, the domestic asset owner bears the risk of expropriation, whereas in an integrated firm, this risk affects the foreign investor. This effect lowers the incentives for specific investments in an integrated firm and distorts the decision between joint ventures and integrated production. By setting the institutional framework in the host country, the elite influences the risk of expropriation. We determine the equilibrium risk of expropriation in this framework and the resulting pattern of international production. We also analyze as to how globalization, which is reflected in a decline in investment costs, influences institutional quality.

description: A one-sector model of endogenous growth based on the accumulation of real capital by saving/investing and accumulation of human capital via learning-by-doing is presented. Experience is measured by means of production output aggregated over time. Explicitly separating learning and real capital accumulation allows for an independent control of the learning process via working time. Though based on a simple one-sector model, accumulation of both types of capital is endogenously determined and a simultaneous dynamic optimisation of leisure/working time and of consumption/saving is executed. Transitional dynamics are derived and numerical simulations performed.

In this paper we prove an uncertainty principle in Schr{ö}dinger form where the bound for the product of variances $Var_ρ(A)\cdot Var_ρ(B)$ depends on the area spanned by the commutators $[ρ,A]$ and $[ρ,B]$ with respect to an arbitrary quantum version of the Fisher information.

SSHRC PEG awarded 2019: This research project, a partnership between Young Agrarians Alberta (YA AB) and researchers from the University of Alberta, will bring together academic and practitioner knowledge and skills to build evaluation capacity and identify opportunities to strengthen and expand network-based peer learning programs that YA AB offers for new and aspiring ecological farmers in Alberta. More specifically, their research objectives are to: 1) examine network-based peer learning programs for new famers offered in Alberta and internationally; 2) build organizational evaluation capacity within YA AB, including building an organizational evaluation framework and building and testing an evaluation survey tool; 3) mobilize the research findings to both academic and general audiences, including the development of an organizational evaluation capacity building guide which will be made publicly accessible on the YA AB website. The research will also contribute more broadly to much needed understanding of the learning and social support needs of new entrants into farming, particularly those focused on ecological farming practices, and the role of network-based peer learning programs.

description: Business tendency survey indicators are widely recognized as a key instrument for business cycle forecasting. Their leading indicator property is assessed with regard to forecasting industrial production in Russia and Germany. For this purpose, vector autoregressive (VAR) models are specified and estimated to construct forecasts. As the potential number of lags included is large, we compare full–specified VAR models with subset models obtained using a Genetic Algorithm enabling ’holes’ in multivariate lag structures. The problem is complicated by the fact that a structural break and seasonal variation of indicators have to be taken into account. The models allow for a comparison of the dynamic adjustment and the forecasting performance of the leading indicators for both countries revealing marked differences between Russia and Germany.

description: We report the observation of Coulomb blockade in field electron emission (FE) from single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which is manifested as pronounced steps in the FE current-voltage curves and oscillatory variations in the energy distribution of emitted electrons. The appearance of the Coulomb blockade is explained by the formation of nanoscale protrusions at the apexes of SWCNTs due to the electric field-assisted surface diffusion of adsorbates and carbon adatoms. The proposed adsorbate-assisted FE mechanism is substantially different from the well-known resonant tunneling associated with discrete electronic states of adsorbed atoms. The simulations based on the Coulomb blockade theory are in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The SWCNT field emitters controlled by the Coulomb blockade effect are expected to be used to develop on-demand coherent single-electron sources for advanced vacuum nanoelectronic devices.

description: We extend our previous physically-based halo occupation distribution models to include the dependence of clustering on the spectral energy distributions of galaxies. The high resolution Millennium Simulation is used to specify the positions and the velocities of the model galaxies. The stellar mass of a galaxy is assumed to depend only on M_{infall}, the halo mass when the galaxy was last the central dominant object of its halo. Star formation histories are parametrized using two additional quantities that are measured from the simulation for each galaxy: its formation time (t_{form}), and the time when it first becomes a satellite (t_{infall}). Central galaxies begin forming stars at time t_{form} with an exponential time scale tau_c. If the galaxy becomes a satellite, its star formation declines thereafter with a new time scale tau_s. We compute 4000 Åbreak strengths for our model galaxies using stellar population synthesis models. By fitting these models to the observed abundances and projected correlations of galaxies as a function of break strength in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we constrain tau_c and tau_s as functions of galaxy stellar mass. We find that central galaxies with large stellar masses have ceased forming stars. At low stellar masses, central galaxies display a wide range of different star formation histories, with a significant fraction experiencing recent starbursts. Satellite galaxies of all masses have declining star formation rates, with similar e-folding times, tau_s ~ 2.5Gyr. One consequence of this long e-folding time is that the colour-density relation is predicted to flatten at redshifts > 1.5, because star formation in the majority of satellites has not yet declined by a significant factor. This is consistent with recent observational results from the DEEP and VVDS surveys.

Die Überprüfung der Argumente zu diesen Thesen wird ergänzt durch ein Plädoyer für eine transanthropozentrische Naturökonomik, die auf die Annahme einer moralisch relevanten Sonderstellung des Menschen verzichtet und – gestützt auf Indizien der bisherigen Überexpansion der Menschheitssphäre – die Umkehrung der naturdegradierenden Wachstumsdynamik (décroissance) zu ihrem Leitziel erhebt.

description: Accurate analysis of the fibrosis stage plays very important roles in follow-up of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. In this paper, a deep learning framework is presented for automatically liver fibrosis prediction. On contrary of previous works, our approach can take use of the information provided by multiple ultrasound images. An indicator-guided learning mechanism is further proposed to ease the training of the proposed model. This follows the workflow of clinical diagnosis and make the prediction procedure interpretable. To support the training, a dataset is well-collected which contains the ultrasound videos/images, indicators and labels of 229 patients. As demonstrated in the experimental results, our proposed model shows its effectiveness by achieving the state-of-the-art performance, specifically, the accuracy is 65.6%(20% higher than previous best).

description: In this paper, we analyze the determinants of U.S. monetary policy stance as expressed in speeches by Federal Reserve (Fed) officials over the period January 1998 to September 2009. Econometrically, we use a probit model with regional and national macroeconomic variables to explain the content of these speeches. Our results are, first, that Fed governors and presidents follow a Taylor rule when expressing their opinions: a rise in inflation or the Leading Index makes a hawkish speech more likely. Second, when Fed presidents make a speech in their home district, its content is influenced by both regional and national macroeconomic variables, whereas speeches given outside the home district are influenced solely by national information. Third, the influence of regional variables increases during (i) Ben Bernanke’s tenure as Fed Chairman, (ii) recessions, and (iii) the financial crisis. Finally, speeches by nonvoting presidents reflect regional economic development to a greater extent than those by voting presidents.

description: Dem globalen Verbreitungstrend folgend werden klimapolitische Emissionshandelssysteme seit dem Jahr 2005 auch in Japan getestet. Die ökologischen und ökonomischen Erfolge sind allerdings bescheiden geblieben. Welche Ausgestaltungsmerkmale haben zu den Defiziten in den etablierten Systemen geführt und wie können sie modifiziert werden, um zukünftig ein klimapolitisch wirksames und gesamtgesellschaftlich kostengünstiges nationales Emissions-handelssystem zu implementieren? Zur Beantwortung diese Frage orientiert sich der Beitrag im Wesentlichen an praxisorientierten Design- und allokationstheoretischen Wirkungsanaly-sen. So kann gezeigt werden, dass für die Implementierung eines ökologisch effektiven und ökonomisch effizienten Emissionshandelssystems in Japan auf der Basis der bereits etablier-ten Infrastruktur vor allem Handlungsbedarf im Bereich der Verbindlichkeit der Teilnahme, der Zielfestlegung sowie der Erstvergabe und der Gültigkeit der Lizenzen besteht.

description: Soil moisture (SM) is a key state variable of the hydrological cycle, needed to monitor the effects of a changing climate on natural resources. Soil moisture is highly variable in space and time, presenting seasonalities, anomalies and long-term trends, but also, and important nonlinear behaviours. Here, we introduce a novel fast and nonlinear complex PCA method to analyze the spatio-temporal patterns of the Earth's surface SM. We use global SM estimates acquired during the period 2010-2017 by ESA's SMOS mission. Our approach unveils both time and space modes, trends and periodicities unlike standard PCA decompositions. Results show the distribution of the total SM variance among its different components, and indicate the dominant modes of temporal variability in surface soil moisture for different regions. The relationship of the derived SM spatio-temporal patterns with El Ni{ñ}o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions is also explored.

description: We used the Australia Telescope in March-April 2005 to observe the RS CVn binary HR 1099 at 1.384 and 2.368 GHz at two epochs, each of 9 h in duration and 11 days apart. During two episodes of coherent emission, we employed a recently installed facility to sample the data at 78 ms intervals to measure the fine temporal and spectral structure of HR 1099. Our main observational results include: ~100% left hand circularly polarised emission was seen at both 1.384 and 2.368 GHz during both epochs; in the first event the emission feature drifted across the spectrum; three 22 min integrations made at 78 ms time resolution showed that the modulation index of the Stokes V parameter increased monotonically as the integration time was decreased and was still increasing at our resolution limit; we believe that the highly polarised emission is due to electron-cyclotron maser emission (ECME) operating in the corona of one of the binary components. We discuss two kinds of maser sources that may be responsible for driving the observed events. We suggest that the ECME source may be an aurora-like phenomenon due to the transfer of plasma from the K2 subgiant to the G5 dwarf in a strong stellar wind.

description: The shortcomings of current anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drugs has stimulated a search for anti-HCMV compounds with novel targets. We screened collections of bioactive compounds and identified a range of compounds with the potential to inhibit HCMV replication. Of these compounds, we selected bisbenzimide compound RO-90-7501 for further study. We generated analogues of RO-90-7501 and found that one compound, MRT00210423, had increased anti-HCMV activity compared to RO-90-7501. Using a combination of compound analogues, microscopy and biochemical assays we found RO-90-7501 and MRT00210423 interacted with DNA. In single molecule microscopy experiments we found RO-90-7501, but not MRT00210423, was able to compact DNA, suggesting that compaction of DNA was non-obligatory for anti-HCMV effects. Using bioinformatics analysis, we found that there were many putative bisbenzimide binding sites in the HCMV DNA genome. However, using western blotting, quantitative PCR and electron microscopy, we found that at a concentration able to inhibit HCMV replication our compounds had little or no effect on production of certain HCMV proteins or DNA synthesis, but did have a notable inhibitory effect on HCMV capsid production. We reasoned that these effects may have involved binding of our compounds to the HCMV genome and/or host cell chromatin. Therefore, our data expand our understanding of compounds with anti-HCMV activity and suggest targeting of DNA with bisbenzimide compounds may be a useful anti-HCMV strategy.

description: Using a GARCH model, we analyze the influence of U.S. monetary policy action and communication on the price volatility of commodities for the period 1998–2009. We find, first, that U.S. monetary policy events have an economically significant impact on price volatility. Second, expected target rate changes and communications decrease volatility, whereas target rate surprises and unorthodox monetary policy measures increase it. Third, we find a change in reaction to central bank communication during the recent financial crisis: the “calming” effect of communication found for the whole sample is partly offset during that period.

Models of the New Economic Geography explain how disparities of regional goods markets endogenously arise but usually assume full employment. This paper discusses regional unemployment disparities by introducing a wage curve based on efficiency wages into the New Economic Geography. The model shows how disparities of regional goods and labor markets endogenously arise through the interplay of increasing returns to scale, transport costs, congestion costs, and migration. In result, the agglomeration pattern might be catastrophic or smooth depending on congestion costs. The transition between both patterns is smooth.

description: We consider the possibility of generalizing the Newtonian law of gravity and the transition to a general relativistic model for weak fields with the inclusion of a repulsive term identified as a cosmological constant. The analysis includes that of the test particle's motion in a modified gravitational field of the Hilbert metric and then the problem of the reverse transition from the post-Galilean case to the construction of a modified exact point mass metric which includes the $Λ$-term.

description: We simulate cosmic chemical enrichment with a hydrodynamical model including supernova and hypernova feedback. We find that the majority of stars in present-day massive galaxies formed in much smaller galaxies at high redshifts, despite their late assembly times. The hypernova feedback drives galactic outflows efficiently in low mass galaxies, and these winds eject heavy elements into the intergalactic medium. The ejected baryon fraction is larger for less massive galaxies, correlates well with stellar metallicity. The observed mass-metallicity relation is well reproduced as a result of the mass-dependent galactic winds. We also predict the cosmic supernova and gamma-ray burst rate histories.

Broadband access markets

description: This paper models competition between two firms, which provide broadband Internet access in regional markets with different population densities. The firms, an incumbent and an entrant, differ in two ways. First, consumers bear costs when switching to the entrant. Second, the entrant faces a make-or-buy decision in each region and can choose between service-based and facility-based entry. The usual trade-off between static and dynamic efficiency does not apply in the sense that higher access fees might yield both, lower retail prices and higher total coverage. This holds despite a strategic effect in the entrant's investment decision. While investment lowers marginal costs in regions with facility-based entry, it intensifies competition in all regions. We show that the cost-reducing potential of investments dominates the strategic effect: Higher access fees increase facility-based competition, decrease retail prices and increase total demand.

Political Economy

description: In the face of rising old-age dependency ratios in industrialized countries like Germany, politicians and their electorates discuss the loosening of immigration policies as one policy option to ensure the sustainability of public social security systems. The question arises whether this policy option is feasible in aging countries: older individuals are typically found to be more averse to immigration. However, cross-sectional investigations may confound age with cohort effects. This investigation uses the 1999-2008 waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel to separate the effect of age on immigration attitudes from cohort and also from time effects. Over the life cycle stated immigration concerns are predicted to increase well into retirement and decrease afterward. Relative to other issues, immigration concerns are found to actually decrease over the life cycle.

Spectral Properties of Holstein and Breathing Polarons

description: We calculate the spectral properties of the one-dimensional Holstein and breathing polarons using the self-consistent Born approximation. The Holstein model electron-phonon coupling is momentum independent while the breathing coupling increases monotonically with the phonon momentum. We find that for a linear or tight binding electron dispersion: i) for the same value of the dimensionless coupling the quasiparticle renormalization at small momentum in the breathing polaron is much smaller, ii) the quasiparticle renormalization at small momentum in the breathing polaron increases with phonon frequency unlike in the Holstein model where it decreases, iii) in the Holstein model the quasiparticle dispersion displays a kink and a small gap at an excitation energy equal to the phonon frequency w0 while in the breathing model it displays two gaps, one at excitation energy w0 and another one at 2w0. These differences have two reasons: first, the momentum of the relevant scattered phonons increases with increasing polaron momentum and second, the breathing bare coupling is an increasing function of the phonon momentum. These result in an effective electron-phonon coupling for the breathing model which is an increasing function of the total polaron momentum, such that the small momentum polaron is in the weak coupling regime while the large momentum one is in the strong coupling regime. However the first reason does not hold if the free electron dispersion has low energy states separated by large momentum, as in a higher dimensional system for example, in which situation the difference between the two models becomes less significant.

Vertical Integration

Foreclosure

description: This paper analyses the incentives to upgrade input quality in vertically related (network) industries. Upstream investments have a biased effect on the downstream companies and lead to vertical product differentiation. Different vertical structures such as vertical integration, ownership and legal unbundling lead to different investments. We find that, without regulation, vertical integration and legal unbundling regimes provide highest investment incentives and lead to highest welfare. However, we also find foreclosure in the downstream market if the potential degree of horizontal product differentiation of the entrant is low. Under ownership unbundling, investment incentives are lower but there is never foreclosure of the entrant since this would worsen double marginalisation. When the network operator is subject to a break-even regulation, the investment incentives are crowded out under legal and ownership unbundling whereas they remain nearly unchanged under vertical integration. Welfare and consumer surplus decrease under legal unbundling, but increase under the two other regimes.
Radiative decay of the Delta(1700)

description: Electromagnetic properties provide information about the structure of strongly interacting systems and allow for independent tests of hadronic models. The radiative decay of the Delta(1700) is studied, which appears dynamically generated in a coupled channel approach from the rescattering of the (3/2^+) decuplet of baryons with the (0^-) octet of pseudoscalar mesons. The radiative decay is predicted from the well-known couplings of the photon to the mesons and hadrons which constitute this resonance in the dynamical picture.

The effects of solid and liquid carbohydrate feedings on high intensity intermittent exercise performance
Creators: name: Walton, Peter Trent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ten elite female soccer players were studied to determine the effects of pre-exercise solid carbohydrate (SCHO) and liquid carbohydrate (LCHO) feedings on high intensity intermittent exercise performance. At 5 min pre-exercise subjects consumed either 50 g of SCHO + 400 ml of H₂O , 50g of LCHO in a 400 ml solution, or 400 ml of artificially sweetened H₂O (PL). Exercise consisted of two 19 min periods of high intensity intemittent running separated by a 10 min break. At 5 min post-exercise, subjects completed a performance trial (PT) in which they ran repeated 10 s, 120% V 0 2 max sprints in a 1:1 work to rest ratio until exhaustion. Blood lactate was not different (p>0.05) between feedings. Blood glucose (BG) was greater (p<0.05) for SCHO and LCHO at 10, 20, and 30 min during exercise compared to PL. At 40 min B G was not significantly different between SCHO and PL and SCHO and LCHO. However, at 40 min BG for LCHO was significantly higher than PL. At 2 min post-exercise BG was similar between interventions. Time to exhaustion in PT was greater in both carbohydrate trials compared to PL (X ± SE, SCHO = 693 s ± 135, LCHO = 648 ± 113, PL = 436 ± 70; p<0.01). Results indicate that the intake of equal amounts of SCHO and LCHO 5 minutes prior to high intensity intermittent exercise improve performance similarly.
