The role of family support in preventing type 2 diabetes in rural and remote British Columbia
Creators: name: Braaten, Kyra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Rural and remote populations in Canada face health disparities that increase their risk for developing type 2 diabetes (T2D; Public Health Agency of Canada, 2011; Roche et al., 2014). Locating, accessing, and being supported in making behaviour changes in line with T2D prevention guidelines are barriers for rural and remote populations in British Columbia (Keating et al., 2011; Locke et al., 2021 & Public Health Agency of Canada, 2011). A feasible form of support that may be available to these populations is family members as most self-management activities occur at home and are within the family network. Family involvement has been shown to influence adherence to diet and exercise; two health behaviours critical for preventing T2D (Mayberry et al., 2016; Johnson et al., 2013). The aim of this project was to understand how family involvement facilitates and discourages diet and physical activity behaviours among individuals at risk of developing T2D living in rural and remote communities in British Columbia. Ten individuals (five family members and five individuals at risk of T2D) participated in separate semi-structured interviews exploring perceived supportive and unsupportive family behaviours related to diet and physical activity participation. Interviews were analyzed using the adapted Framework Method for dyadic analysis (Collaco et al., 2021) using an abductive approach. Perceived supportive and unsupportive behaviours were coded to the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF; Michie et al., 2008) and Self and Family Management Framework (SFMF; Grey et al., 2015), and dyadic perspectives were thematically analyzed. Participants reported perceived supportive behaviours (129) and unsupportive behaviours (55). The most frequently coded TDF domains were social influence (199), and environmental context and resources (109). Motivation (114) was most frequently coded from the SFMF. Themes arising from the dyadic analysis included a need for partnership, modelling of healthy behaviours by family members, and differing views on helpful environments. These findings highlight the iv prevalence of family influence on health behaviours and suggest a need to involve family members in diabetes prevention programs. Addressing the most frequently coded domains from the TDF and concepts from the SFMF could improve the quality of family support in diet and physical activity participation leading to better health outcomes and diabetes prevention practices in rural and remote areas in British Columbia.

description: Aquaculture in lakes is an important human activity that could accelerate eutrophication. Its impacts on aquatic ecosystems have attracted extensive attention. This study was carried out in Gaoyou Lake, China. We investigated environmental variables and phytoplankton in areas with different aquaculture intensities over four seasons. Marked differences in diversity, biomass and phytoplankton community structure were observed across areas. The 59 phytoplankton taxa identified could be divided into 20 functional groups (PFGs), of which groups B, D, E, J, MP, P, S1, W1 and Y were dominant PFGs in different areas. Total phosphorus (TP), ratio of nitrogen and phosphorus (TN/TP) and chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) were important driving factors for spatial differences in phytoplankton functional groups. Aquaculture altered the phytoplankton community structure, leading to a significant increase in phytoplankton biomass and diversity, especially cyanobacterial biomass. However, phytoplankton biomass and diversity could be significantly reduced and restored to natural levels after the cessation of aquaculture. This study clarified the effects of aquaculture activity on the phytoplankton community, thereby providing fundamental information for better understanding the impacts of aquaculture on lake eutrophication.

description: We classify Freund-Rubin backgrounds of eleven-dimensional supergravity of the form AdS_4 x X^7 which are at least half BPS; equivalently, smooth quotients of the round 7-sphere by finite subgroups of SO(8) which admit an (N>3)-dimensional subspace of Killing spinors. The classification is given in terms of pairs consisting of an ADE subgroup of SU(2) and an automorphism defining its embedding in SO(8). In particular we find novel half-BPS quotients associated with the subgroups of type D_n (for n>5), E_7 and E_8 and their outer automorphisms.

description: It is known that an interacting bipartite system evolves as an entangled state in general, even if it is initially in a separable state. Due to the entanglement of the state, the geometric phase of the system is not equal to the sum of the geometric phases of its two subsystems. However, there may exist a set of states in which the nonlocal interaction does not affect the separability of the states, and the geometric phase of the bipartite system is then always equal to the sum of the geometric phases of its subsystems. In this paper, we illustrate this point by investigating a well known physical model. We give a necessary and sufficient condition in which a separable state remains separable so that the geometric phase of the system is always equal to the sum of the geometric phases of its subsystems.

description: We show that part of the empirical formula describing the gross features of the measured yrast energies of the natural parity even multipole states for even-even nuclei can be related to the rotational energy of nuclei. When the first term of the empirical formula, $αA^{-γ}$, is regarded as the otational energy, we can better understand the results of the previous analyses of the excitation energies. We show that the values of the parameters $α$ and $γ$ newly obtained by considering the $αA^{-γ}$ term as the rotational energy of a rigid rotor are remarkably consistent with those values extracted from the earlier `modified' $χ^2$ analyses, in which we use the logarithms of the excitation energies in defining the `modified' $χ^2$ values.

description: The studies of some mechanical properties and photocatalytic activity of new cements with photocatalytic activity are presented. The new building materials were obtained by addition of semi-product from titanium white production. Semi-product was calcined at 300 and 600 °C for one, three, and five hours and then this material was added to cement matrix in an amount of 1 and 3 wt.%. New materials were characterized by measuring the flexural and compressive strength and the initial and the final setting time. The photocatalytic activity was tested during NOx photooxidation. The cement with photocatalytic activity was also characterized by sulphur content measurements. The measurement of reflectance percentage of TiO2-loaded cements in comparison with pristine cement and TiO2 photocatalyst calcined at 600 °C were also performed. It should be emphasized that although in some cases, the addition of photocatalyst reduced the flexural and the compressive strength of the modified cements, these values were still within the norm PN-EN 197-1:2012. It was also found that the initial and the final setting time is connected with the crystal size of anatase, and the presence of larger crystals significantly delays of the setting time. This was probably caused by a water adsorption on the surface of anatase crystals.

description: We describe the preparation of a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brush, polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) and subsequent acid hydrolysis, on the flat gold surfaces of quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) crystals. The PAA brushes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ellipsometry and water contact angle analysis. The interaction of the PAA brushes with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied for a range of ionic strengths and pH conditions by quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The quantitative analysis showed a strong adsorption of protein molecules onto the PAA brush. By increasing the ionic strength, we were able to release a fraction of the initially bound HSA molecules. This finding highlights the importance of counterions in the polyelectrolyte-mediated protein adsorption/desorption. A comparison with recent calorimetric studies related to the binding of HSA to polyelectrolytes allowed us to fully analyze the QCM data based on the results of the thermodynamic analysis of the binding process.

description: Salinization in freshwater ecosystems has become an increasingly prevalent issue. Past studies indicate that increased salinity levels in lakes can impact biota, stimulate internal nutrient loading, and prevent seasonal turnover, potentially resulting in impairment to the lake ecosystem. Salt retention in soils and groundwater causes elevated salt concentrations in fresh water long after road salt was applied. We examined salt retention and release in soils collected near the tributaries flowing into and out of a salt-impacted urban lake. We distributed each soil sample into plastic trays and exposed them to three treatments, conducted in series: (1) non salt-contaminated water as a conditioning rinse; (2) salt-contaminated water to mimic salt de-icer runoff; and (3) non salt-contaminated water to determine salt release. We measured retention of chloride from each soil sample based on how much chloride was measured in water draining the soil (effluent). We observed considerable variability among sites presumably because of soil heterogeneity, although overall the soils in our study area retained a modest amount of chloride (mean of ∼29 mg/L) from simulated salt runoff events, even at short exposure times (<30 min). In addition, some soils released chloride following a relatively salt-free rinsing event. There was an overall positive relationship between percent soil organic matter and Cl- retention. We also measured the impact of chloride on bioavailable phosphorus concentration in the effluent, which was relatively modest and variable. Soil total phosphorus had a strong positive correlation with %SOM. Our results suggest that in addition to direct runoff of salt de-icers from roads to lakes, soil retention can also serve as a chloride source that can be released over time, resulting in a delayed impact to aquatic ecosystems.
Development of 100 kHz-rate CO Laser-Induced Fluorescence in High Speed Flows

description: Understanding boundary layer transition is fundamental to hypersonic vehicle design as the significant heating induced by the transition process informs the development of vehicle thermal protection systems. Carbon-based thermal protection systems have been shown to decrease thermal loads and delay transition by absorbing thermal energy during ablative mass transfer into the boundary layer. To better understand this process, a high-repetition rate measurement technique is needed to temporally resolve carbon species concentrations as they propagate through the boundary layer at frequencies where boundary layer instabilities occur. Carbon monoxide is a dominant product from the chemical reactions that take place during the ablation process and is the species of interest considered in this work. A proposed approach is applying carbon monoxide two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (CO TP-LIF) at 100 kHz+ during a simulated ablation experiment where CO is injected into the boundary layer of an axisymmetric slender-body cone model in the Boeing/AFOSR Mach 6 Quiet Tunnel (BAM6QT) at Purdue University. To develop this capability, a custom-built optical parametric oscillator (OPO) was designed and used in conjunction with a burst-mode laser system to achieve narrowband excitation of CO at 100 kHz. The OPO was designed, built, and characterized through measurements of cavity energy efficiency, spectral bandwidth, and beam quality. Initial demonstrations to show the OPO could successfully achieve CO LIF were conducted in a vacuum cell at 10 Hz. The feasibility of performing CO LIF at 100 kHz in the BAM6QT was then assessed on a bench-scale using a burst-mode laser, a high speed camera, and an imaging intensifier. CO number densities in a vacuum cell were related to those that would be expected within the boundary layer of a 3 degree half-angle cone in the BAM6QT, and a series of measurements were made at these representative conditions. Appreciable signal levels were attained for single dimensional focused line measurements demonstrating high potential for using this technique in the BAM6QT at 100 kHz. The potential for a two-dimensional planar measurement was also assessed with decent promise for success for planar laser sheets of small dimensions (2 mm tall or less). Additionally, an initial BAM6QT test entry was carried out to gain experience with experimental setup; lessons learned from this experience are examined and discussed. To date, CO TP-LIF has only been applied up to 1 kHz repetition rates. This work represents a 100 fold increase over the current CO LIF state of the art and the first reported measurements, bench scale or otherwise, of 100 kHz-rate CO LIF. This lays the foundation for future CO LIF experiments in the BAM6QT at kHz-MHz repetition rates.
P. W. Bridgman contributions to the foundations of shock compression of condensed matter

description: Based on his 50-year career in static high-pressure research, P. W. Bridgman (PWB) is the father of modern high-pressure physics. What is not generally recognized is that Bridgman was also intimately connected with establishing shock compression as a scientific tool and he predicted major events in shock research that occurred up to 40 years after his death. In 1956 the first phase transition under shock compression was reported in Fe at 13 GPa (130 kbar). PWB said a phase transition could not occur in a ~microsec, thus setting off a controversy. The scientific legitimacy of shock compression resulted 5 years later when static high-pressure researchers confirmed with x-ray diffraction the existence of epsilon-Fe. Once PWB accepted the fact that shock waves generated with chemical explosives were a valid scientific tool, he immediately realized that substantially higher pressures would be achieved with nuclear explosives. He included his ideas for achieving higher pressures in articles published a few years after his death. L. V. Altshuler eventually read Bridgman articles and pursued the idea of using nuclear explosives to generate super high pressures, which subsequently morphed today into giant lasers. PWB also anticipated combining static and shock methods, which today is done with pre-compression of a soft sample in a diamond anvil cell followed by laser-driven shock compression. One variation of that method is the reverberating-shock technique, in which the first shock pre-compresses a soft sample and subsequent reverberations isentropically compress the first-shocked state.

description: The automobile lies at the heart of one of our country's most pro- found environmental and economic dilemmas. The mass availability of automotive transportation has become an integral part of the American life style, and the production, distribution and servicing of automobiles and the related fuel industry have become major elements of the American economy. In addition, a vast number of other industries and commercial interests (such as, notably, high- way building and the recreation industry), as well as many urban concerns are related to the automobile. While the automobile is a mainstay of the American economy, a whole set of side effects- from the contribution to deterioration of air quality in urban areas, to urban congestion and urban noise-have made the automobile one of the principle foci of environmental, and most recently, energy, concerns. It was to describe and analyze these side-effects, as well as to examine current and possible future means of minimizing environ- mental hazards, that a study was begun in September 1971-funded by the National Science Foundation (RANN-Research Addressed to National Needs), and sponsored by the Special Committee on Science and Law of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, which also acted as advisory committee to the project. The results of that study have recently been published by the Legislative Drafting Research Fund under the title The Automobile and the Regulation of Its Impact on the EnvironmentJt The main emphasis of the study-as in most recent studies that focus on the automobile-was on problems of the regulation of automotive air pollution. The chapters here reproduced-Chapters 10, 11, and 12- however, deal with other aspects of the environmental impact of the automobile-in the areas of noise, water pollution and solid waste- that should receive greater attention than they have in the past. The investigators primarily responsible for the work are Professors Frank P. Grad and Albert J. Rosenthal, of Columbia Law School, who acted as co-directors of the study at the Legislative Drafting Research Fund, and Laurie R. Rockett, associate director; Professors James A. Fay and John Heywood, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who assumed responsibility for the technical automo- tive portion of the study; and Professors John F. Kain, Gregory Ingram, and David Harrison at the Harvard University Department of Economics, and Thomas Tietenberg at Williams College, who were responsible for the economic analysis.

description: The Be/X-ray binary A 0535+26 showed a normal (type I) outburst in August/September 2005, which reached a maximum X-ray flux of 400mCrab in the 5-100keV range. The outburst was observed by INTEGRAL and RXTE. The energy of the fundamental cyclotron line has been measured with INTEGRAL and RXTE at ~45keV. Flaring activity was observed during the rise to the peak of the outburst. RXTE observations during one of these flares found the energy of the fundamental cyclotron line shifted to a significantly higher position than during the rest of the outburst, where it remains constant. Also, the energy-dependent pulse profiles during the flare differ significantly from the rest of the outburst. These differences have been interpreted with the presence of magnetospheric instabilities at the onset of the accretion. A decomposition method is applied to A 0535+26 pulse profiles. Basic assumptions of the method are that the asymmetry observed in the pulse profiles is caused by a distorted magnetic dipole field, and that the emission regions have axisymmetric beam patterns. Using pulse profiles obtained from RXTE observations, the contribution of the two emission regions has been disentangled. Constraints on geometry of the pulsar and a possible solution of the beam pattern are given. First results of the comparison of the reconstructed beam pattern with a geometrical model that includes relativistic light deflection are presented.

Testing the Racial Context Hypothesis (Read and Emerson 2005), we examine the relationship between racial context of origin and three health behaviors (smoking, drinking, and physical activity) among Black immigrants in the USA. We conduct multinomial logistic regression analyses using data from the 2000–2018 National Health Interview Survey (N = 248,401) to determine if racial context of origin is a mechanism of health differential between Black immigrants and US-born Black Americans. Supporting the Racial Context Hypothesis, we find that Black immigrants from racially mixed (Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, South America) and majority-Black contexts (Africa) are significantly less likely to be current or former smokers and drinkers than US-born Black Americans. Black immigrants from majority-white (Europe) contexts, on the other hand, look more similar to US-born Black Americans — again supporting the premise that racial context of origin is consequential for health. After controlling for a host of covariates, Black immigrants do not significantly differ from US-born Black Americans in exercise status. Together, these findings suggest that the impacts of racism and white supremacy have lasting effects on people of color, where Black immigrants from majority-white contexts exhibit worse health behaviors than their counterparts from majority-Black and racially mixed regions.

description: Coded Caching, proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN), has the potential to reduce network traffic by pre-storing content in the users’ local memories when the network is underutilized and transmitting coded multicast messages that simultaneously benefit many users at once during peak-hour times. This paper considers the linear function retrieval version of the original coded caching setting, where users are interested in retrieving a number of linear combinations of the data points stored at the server, as opposed to a single file. This extends the scope of the authors’ past work that only considered the class of linear functions that operate element-wise over the files. On observing that the existing cache-aided scalar linear function retrieval scheme does not work in the proposed setting, this paper designs a novel coded caching scheme that outperforms uncoded caching schemes that either use unicast transmissions or let each user recover all files in the library.

description: Large amount of food coming into the processing chain ends up as wastes, causing great negative economic and environmental implications. Winemaking waste is major food-loss stream, but is excellent source of beneficial dietary polyphenols, particularly polyphenol glucoside derivatives. This thesis identifies the valuable bioactive polyphenols in wine and wastes, establishes a model to evaluate winemaking process efficiency for polyphenols extraction, and demonstrates how winemaking wastes can be valorised into valuable products like bioactive polyphenols and prebiotic fibres. It not only represents a tremendous economic opportunity, but also an opportunity to improve the sustainability of the winemaking industry domestically and globally.

description: On any given day of the week, hundreds of thousands of high school students can be found training for or competing in any number of interscholastic sports. For many teenagers, interscholastic sports are a crucial component of the high school experience. Among other benefits, participation in sports provides a welcome break from academic stress and offers an outlet for students to interact and socialize with schoolmates outside of the classroom. Participation in interscholastic sports also provides an opportunity for students to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle while also providing a structured environment for students to learn such values as teamwork and cooperation, healthy competition, self-discipline and responsibility. Because students benefit tremendously from participation in these activities, it is important to protect the ability of students to take part in them.

description: While instance-dependent contextual bandits have been previously studied, their analysis

has been exclusively limited to pure disagreement-based learning. This approach lacks a

nuanced understanding of disagreement and treats it in a binary and absolute manner.

In our work, we aim to broaden the analysis of instance-dependent contextual bandits by

studying them under the framework of disagreement-based learning in sub-regions. This

framework allows for a more comprehensive examination of disagreement by considering its

varying degrees across different sub-regions.

To lay the foundation for our analysis, we introduce key ideas and measures widely

studied in the contextual bandit and disagreement-based active learning literature. We

then propose a novel, instance-dependent contextual bandit algorithm for the realizable

case in a transductive setting. Leveraging the ability to observe contexts in advance, our

algorithm employs a sophisticated Linear Programming subroutine to identify and exploit

sub-regions effectively. Next, we provide a series of results tying previously introduced

complexity measures and offer some insightful discussion on them. Finally, we enhance the

existing regret bounds for contextual bandits by integrating the sub-region disagreement

coefficient, thereby showcasing significant improvement in performance against the pure

disagreement-based approach.

In the concluding section of this thesis, we do a brief recap of the work done and suggest

potential future directions for further improving contextual bandit algorithms within the

framework of disagreement-based learning in sub-regions. These directions offer opportuni-

ties for further research and development, aiming to refine and enhance the effectiveness of

contextual bandit algorithms in practical applications.

description: The purpose of this paper is to study the relations between different concepts of dispersive solution for the Vlasov-Poisson system in the gravitational case. Moreover we give necessary conditions for the existence of partially and totally dispersive solutions and a sufficient condition for the occurence of statistical dispersion. These conditions take the form of inequalities involving the energy, the mass and the momentum of the solution. Examples of dispersive and non-dispersive solutions--steady states, periodic solutions and virialized solutions--are also considered.

In This Corner: An Analysis of Federal Boxing Legislation

description: Muhammad Ali—arguably the greatest boxer of all time—lay beaten in a hospital bed. Defeated by his former sparring partner, Larry Holmes, Ali was battered and prone: King Arthur run through by Mordred. An aide to Don King, Ali’s long-time promoter, stole into the room with a briefcase. At the time, King owed Ali over $1 million. Inside the briefcase was $50,000 in cash, which Ali— defeated—accepted after signing a release dropping all claims against King. While the Senate’s version of what was to ultimately become the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act (“Ali Act”), referenced only Ali’s “unsurpassed” “career achievements and personal contributions to the sport [of boxing],” it is likely that this shameful episode was present in legislators’ minds when honoring their bill’s revered—yet tragic—eponym. Passed in 2000, the Ali Act was Congress’s second foray into the arena of boxing legislation, following the Professional Boxers Safety Act (“PBSA”) of 1996.5 While the PBSA was aimed at protecting boxers within the ring, the Ali Act was intended “to protect the rights and welfare of professional boxers . . . by preventing certain exploitative, oppressive, and unethical business practices” outside the ring.6 Indeed, tales of corruption are as much a part of the folklore of boxing as legends of great fights, indomitable champions and intrepid underdogs. Thus, for every retelling of Marvin Hagler’s brutal three-round tilt with Thomas Hearns, there is an account of the indictment of former International Boxing Federation president Robert Lee for allegedly extorting $338,000 in payoffs to manipulate rankings.7 For every awed recollection of Joe Louis’s unprecedented twenty-five consecutive heavyweight title defenses, there is the story of former heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon being forced to sign four contracts while being promoted by Don King: one made King his exclusive promoter; another made King’s son, Carl, Witherspoon’s manager, entitled to thirty-three percent of his earnings; the third was a duplicate of Carl King’s managerial contract, only this one entitled him to fifty percent of Witherspoon’s earnings; and the last was completely blank, allowing King to write in any terms he wished.8 And, for every narration of Buster Douglas’s knockout victory of the seemingly invincible Mike Tyson in Tokyo, there is the embarrassing anecdote about Darrin Morris—a supermiddleweight boxer who died in October of 2000, only to climb the World Boxing Organization (“WBO”) rankings until he was able to attain in death what eluded him in life: a top-five ranking.

description: Jane Levine: This is the last panel of the day, and I should first thank all of you for coming and especially for staying until the end of the day. This is going to be a roundtable panel. I am hoping to engage the panelists in a discussion rather than sequential presentations. I am Jane Levine and I am currently the Director of Compliance at Sotheby’s. Before I came to Sotheby’s, I was at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, where I worked on a lot of different kinds of art crime matters, including forgery cases. I have the pleasure of having this great panel of lawyers talk about some of the issues we’ve touched on today and some new ones. I am going to introduce them now. To my immediate left is Jo Laird who is now of counsel at Patterson Belknap. Jo has a varied practice in all kinds of art law matters, representing collectors, museums, galleries and dealers. She was, prior to joining Patterson Belknap, the General Counsel of Christie’s, Inc., which is how I first met her because in my previous job at the U.S. Attorney’s office we had a lot of dealings with one another. So, I know Jo to be an expert on many matters of art law. She is also a Columbia Law School graduate-so we are really happy to have her here. To her left is Michael Salzman who is the co-head of the art law practice at Hughes Hubbard & Reed and also known to many of you in the room as an art lawyer with a lot of experience in a lot of different cases. Last is Donn Zaretsky, who is actually an alumni of Paul, Weiss-another thing we have in common-but now with John Silberman Associates where he has an art law and entertainment practice. Donn represents a lot of artists and I am hoping that that is one perspective we can bring out today. In addition, Donn is the author of the Art Law Blog, which-if you are not familiar with it-you should check out. It is a really wonderful blog and resource and worth reading.

title: Activities, Participation, Accessibility and Safety in the Home Environment for Children and Young People with Physical Disabilities: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Fowler, Bess

Publisher: name: Home Modification Information Clearinghouse
Year: 2021

description: Background: In Australia, nearly two percent of children and young people under 15 years with a disability have physical restrictions. Many will require occupational therapy at some stage in their lives to facilitate independence in activities of daily living, participation, home accessibility and home safety. Objective: This systematic review aims to identify effective occupational therapy for children and young people with physical disability in the home. Search Methods: Eligible quantitative research studies published between 2005 and 2020 were identified in the Cochrane Data Base of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Home Modification Information Clearinghouse, PubMed, OTseeker, Google Scholar, and major occupational therapy journals. Data Collection and Analysis: The first review author screened titles and abstracts of all potential studies identified for inclusion in the review. Full text reports were retrieved, and the second review author independently screened these and identified studies for inclusion. Results: Overall, 31 quantitative studies fitting the inclusion criteria were examined in this systematic review. Authors Conclusions: While the quality of the studies in this area of physical disability is varied in breadth and scope, there is generally moderate to high quality evidence for the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions in the areas of self-care and functional mobility; and low to moderate for participation in domestic living/household tasks; and low for home modification. There is no evidence for safety in the home for children and young people with a physical disability.
