description: Au théâtre, l'espace est un objet d'étude privilégié puisque, comme médiateur entre un texte et sa représentation, il joue un rôle essentiel dans l'organisation comme dans la lecture de la diégèse. Le traitement des lieux fictifs, qu'ils soient décrits dans les didascalies ou évoqués dans les dialogues, a subi des transformations symptomatiques de l'évolution du texte dramatique. Un survol de la dramaturgie contemporaine permet aussi de constater que le lieu clos fortement référentiel de la dramaturgie spéculaire caractéristique des années soixante-dix est devenu fragmentaire et abstrait dans les oeuvres datant des années quatre-vingt. Il s'agit donc, dans cette étude, d'analyser les modalités de cette transformation à l'aide d'un corpus représentatif de la dramaturgie québécoise. Cette analyse prendra en compte la pratique scénique contemporaine afin de déterminer si l'évolution du lieu fictif est tributaire de la montée de la scénographie et de la mise en scène dans la pratique spectaculaire.

Shock Instability in Gases Characterized by Inelastic Collisions

Subjects: shock instability

shock relaxation

description: The current study addresses the stability of shock waves propagating through dissipative media, analogous to both granular media and molecular gases undergoing endothermic reactions. In order to investigate the stability, a simple molecular dynamics model was developed to observe shock waves and their structures with the inclusion of energy dissipation. For this, an Event Driven Molecular Dynamics model was implemented in a 2D environment, where a molecule is represented by a disk. The simulations addressed the formation of a shock wave in a gas by the sudden acceleration of a piston. Inelastic collisions were assumed to occur only if an impact velocity threshold is surpassed, representing the activation energy of the dissipative reactions. Parametric studies were conducted for this molecular model, by varying the strength of the shock wave, the activation threshold and the degree of inelasticity in the collisions. The resulting simulations showed that a shock structure does indeed become unstable with the presence of dissipative collisions. This instability manifests itself in the form of distinctive high density non-uniformities behind the shock wave, which take the form of convective rolls. The spacing and size of this ``finger-like" unstable pattern was shown to be dependent on the degree of inelasticity, the activation energy, and the strength of the driving piston. The mechanism responsible for the instability was addressed by studying the time evolution of the material undergoing the shock wave compression and further relaxation. It is found that the gas develops the instability on the same time scales as the clustering instability in homogeneous gases, first observed by Goldhirsch and Zanetti in granular gases. This confirmed that the clustering instability is the dominant mechanism.

description: Background: Solid tumors produce proteins that can induce the accumulation of bone marrow-derived cells in various tissues, and these cells can enhance metastatic tumor growth by several mechanisms. 4T1 murine mammary tumors are known to produce granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and increase the numbers of immunosuppressive CD11b⁺Gr1⁺ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in tissues such as the spleen and lungs of tumor-bearing mice. While surgical resection of primary tumors decreases MDSC levels in the spleen, the longevity and impact of MDSCs and other immune cells in the lungs after tumor resection have been less studied. Methods: We used mass cytometry time of flight (CyTOF) and flow cytometry to quantify MDSCs in the spleen, peripheral blood, and lungs of mice bearing orthotopic murine mammary tumors. We also tested the effect of primary tumor resection and/or gemcitabine treatment on the levels of MDSCs, other immune suppressor and effector cells, and metastatic tumor cells in the lungs. Results: We have found that, similar to mice with 4T1 tumors, mice bearing metastatic 4T07 tumors also exhibit accumulation of CD11b⁺Gr1⁺ MDSCs in the spleen and lungs, while tissues of mice with non-metastatic 67NR tumors do not contain MDSCs. Mice with orthotopically implanted 4T1 tumors have increased granulocytic (G-) MDSCs, monocytic (M-) MDSCs, macrophages, eosinophils, and NK cells in the lungs. Resection of primary 4T1 tumors decreases G-MDSCs, M-MDSCs, and macrophages in the lungs within 48 h, but significant numbers of functional immunosuppressive G-MDSCs persist in the lungs for 2 weeks after tumor resection, indicative of an environment that can promote metastatic tumor growth. The chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine depletes G-MDSCs, M-MDSCs, macrophages, and eosinophils in the lungs of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, and we found that treating mice with gemcitabine after primary tumor resection decreases residual G-MDSCs in the lungs and decreases subsequent metastatic growth. Conclusions: Our data support the development of therapeutic strategies to target MDSCs and to monitor MDSC levels before and after primary tumor resection to enhance the effectiveness of immune-based therapies and improve the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in the clinic.
An implementation approach for an inter-domain routing protocol for DWDM

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Today's Internet applications are in need of additional bandwidth. Consequently, a large number of high capacity fiber optical networks have been deployed. The rapid increase in this need has resulted in more than one optical Autonomous Systems (AS) per geographical area. In order to make optimal use of these widely spread optical networks, an intelligent approach is needed to manage the resources of the networks. In this thesis, we propose a new routing protocol, called Optical Routing Border Gateway Protocol (ORBGP). ORBGP exploits most functionalities of the BGP routing protocol with some modifications to support the exchange of optical routing information. Furthermore, ORBGP introduces two new advertising policies to allow the edge nodes to advertise routing changes based on their needs. The performance of this protocol for different network architectures has been investigated through simulation studies, and the results show promise. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
High-precision timing and polarimetry of PSR J0427-475
Creators: name: van Straten, Willem
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis reports on the recent results of a continuing, high-precision pulsar timing project, currently focused on the nearby, binary millisecond pulsar, PSR J0437-4715. Pulse arrival time analysis has yielded a remarkable series of constraints on the physical parameters of this system and evidence for the distortion of space-time as predicted by the General Theory of Relativity. Owing to the proximity of the PSR J0437-4715 system, relative changes in the positions of the Earth and pulsar result in both annual and secular evolution of the line of sight to the pulsar. Although the changes are miniscule, the effects on the projected orbital parameters are detectable in our data at a high level of significance, necessitating the implementation of an improved timing model. In addition to producing estimates of astrometric parameters with unparalleled precision, the study has also yielded the first three-dimensional orbital geometry of a binary pulsar. This achievement includes the first classical determination of the orbital inclination, thereby providing the unique opportunity to verify the shape of the Shapiro delay and independently confirm a general relativistic prediction. With a current post-fit arrival time residual RMS of 130 ns over four years, the unrivaled quality of the timing data presented herein may eventually contribute to the most stringent limit on the energy density of the proposed stochastic gravitational wave background. Continuing the quest for even greater timing precision, a detailed study of the polarimetry of PSR J0437-4715 was undertaken. This effort culminated in the development of a new, phase-coherent technique for calibrating the instrumental response of the observing system. Observations were conducted at the Parkes 64-m radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia, using baseband recorder technologies developed at York University, Toronto, and at the California Institute of Technology. Data were processed off-line at Swinburne University using a beowulf-style cluster of high-performance workstations and custom software developed by the candidate as part of this thesis.

description: A great deal has been written over the past few years about the characteristics of a new generation of students and the implications for teaching and learning. This generation, which has variously been referred to as the 'Net Generation', 'Digital Natives' and 'Generation Y' are claimed to be very different to their predecessors in their familiarity with technologies and the regularity with which they use them. Additionally, some commentators have claimed that their immersion in technology during their developmental years has changed the way that they learn and perhaps even the physiology of their brains. This paper reports on some preliminary results from a large cross-institutional study of the implications for University teaching of the characteristics of this generation of students. This paper focuses in particular on the results of a survey of the frequency with which 2588 first year students at the University of Melbourne, the University of Wollongong and Charles Sturt University, use 41 different applications of new technologies in their study and personal lives. The results indicate that there is greater diversity in frequency of use of technology than many commentators have suggested. Importantly, the use of collaborative and self-publishing 'Web 2.0' technologies that have often been associated with this generation is quite low. The results of this large survey suggest that to accept the claims of some of the commentators on the changes needed in universities to cater for this generation of students without undertaking further research is likely to be a substantial mistake.

description: This project outlines a novel method for testing the survival and inactivation of viral pathogens on viable human tissue carriers. The two topically applied chemical agents selected for testing in the ex vivo model were chlorhexidine digluconate (CD) and benzalkonium chloride (BC). The ex vivo method was developed to use animate carriers: pieces of human skin excised during routine plastic surgery for the stratum corneum and umbilical cords as mucous membranes. With both specimen types, the tissue was mounted on a cutting board and 2.3 cm diameter patches were then made with a cutting tool. Each patch was mounted over the top of a specially designed holder and secured with an O-ring. The animate carriers were then ready for use in the ex vivo protocol. The ex vivo model was evaluated with Human Herpesvirus 2 (HHV 2) strain 333 and Adenovirus 4 (AD 4) strain RI-67 with parallel tests run on the tissues and stainless steel disks to compare virus survival and inactivation on animate and inanimate surfaces. HHV 2 and AD 4 virus pools were made by infecting confluent Vero and 293 cell monolayers, respectively. Throughout the study infectivity for both viruses was measured by plaque assay in Vero cell monolayers. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Internal exposure of the human body to potentially harmful chemical substances can be assessed by Human Biomonitoring (HBM). HBM can be used to generate conclusive data that may provide an overview of exposure levels in entire or specific population groups. This knowledge can promote the understanding of potential risks of the substances of interest or help monitoring the success of regulatory measures taken on the political level. Study planning and design are key elements of any epidemiologic study to generate reliable data. In the field of HBM, this has been done using differing approaches on various levels of population coverage so far. Comparison and combined usage of the resulting data would contribute to understanding exposure and its factors on a larger scale, however, the differences between studies make this a challenging and somewhat limited endeavour. This article presents templates for documents that are required to set up an HBM study, thus facilitating the generation of harmonised HBM data as a step towards standardisation of HBM in Europe. They are designed to be modular and adaptable to the specific needs of a single study while emphasising minimum requirements to ensure comparability. It further elaborates on the challenges encountered during the process of creating these documents during the runtime of the European Joint Programme HBM4EU in a multi-national expert team and draws up lessons learnt in the context of knowledge management. © 2023 The Authors
Les Clercs de Saint-Viateur et l'Institution des sourds-Muets, 1848-1930 : berceau de la communauté sourde montréalaise.

description: En 1848, M$\rm\sp{gr}$ Ignace Bourget, dans le cadre de son plan d'aide aux demunis, fonde l'Institution des Sourds-Muets a Montreal. L'Institution a pour but de permettre l'integration des sourds a la societe quebecoise. Il faut apprendre a l'enfant sourd a communiquer avec le monde qui l'entoure, au debut avec des signes, puis, apres 1870, en lui enseignant la parole. Cet apprentissage de la communication s'accompagne d'une formation sociale et religieuse qui vise a permettre au sourd de vivre en harmonie avec son entourage. Si le but premier de l'Institution est de faciliter l'integration du sourd a la societe, le milieu qu'elle cree, en regroupant des sourds, provoque plutot le phenomene contraire. C'est ce que cette these veut demontrer. Les sourds prennent graduellement conscience de leur unicite culturelle. Le developpement d'une langue des signes entre les murs de l'Institution leur permet de communiquer aisement entre eux, alors qu'ils rencontrent des difficultes considerables lorsqu'ils veulent entrer en contact avec les entendants. Face a ce phenomene, les sourds en viennent a developper une culture bien a eux et celle-ci continue toujours a se developper aujourd'hui. L'Institution a joue un role dans l'emergence de cette culture sourde a Montreal. En plus de leur fournir un lieu ou ils se rencontrent et developpent des amities, elle tend, par les activites qu'elle organise, a favoriser la cohesion des sourds plutot que leur integration individuelle a la societe entendante. Les religieux sanctionnent en effet la creation d'associations favorisant les contacts sociaux exclusivement entre les sourds. De plus, ils tendent de plus en plus a les encourager a demeurer a l'emploi des ateliers une fois leur formation terminee. Enfin, ils santionnent meme l'exclusivite des sourds en fondant une communaute religieuse specialement pour eux. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Biotechnology entrepreneurs and networks: a case study of Melbourne, Australia
Creators: name: Gilding, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper addresses the articulation between entrepreneurs and networks in the biotechnology industry, using Melbourne as a case study. It is based on public record sources and interviews with CEOs and industry informants. The paper finds that the 'network form' of organization is characteristic of biotechnology companies in Melbourne, comparable to US biotechnology companies as described by the sociologist Walter Powell. As in the US, the network form promotes geographical clustering in Melbourne, driven by research and venture capital networks. The network form in the Australian context is also associated with internationalization, especially with US biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Entrepreneurs emerge from different parts of the network; hence 'scientist-entrepreneurs' and 'finance entrepreneurs'. Whatever the case, entrepreneurs play a critical role in forging the network, as opposed to managing it. From this perspective, the rising profile of entrepreneurs and networks in the 'New Economy' are not separate events. They are aspects of the same logic of organising.

description: Background: Academic procrastination is widespread among college students. Procrastination is strongly negatively correlated with psychological well-being, thus early interventions are needed. Internet- and mobile-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) could provide a low-threshold treatment option. Human guidance seems to be a decisive mechanism of change in iCBT. Persuasive design optimization of iCBT and guidance by a digital coach might represent a resource-saving alternative. The study evaluated the non-inferiority of a digital coach in comparison to human guidance with regard to the primary outcome procrastination. Methods: The iCBT StudiCare procrastination was optimized by principles of the Persuasive System Design (PSD). A total of 233 college students were randomly assigned to either StudiCare procrastination guided by a digital coach (intervention group, IG) or by a human eCoach (control group, CG). All participants were assessed at baseline, 4-, 8- and 12-weeks post-randomization. Symptom change and between-group differences were assessed with latent growth curve models and supported by effect size levels. The non-inferiority margin was set at Cohen's d = - 0.3. Results: The primary outcome procrastination measured by the Irrational Procrastination scale (IPS) significantly decreased across groups (γ = - 0.79, p < .001, Cohen's d = -0.43 to -0.89) from baseline to 12-weeks post-randomization. There were no significant differences between groups (γ = -0.03, p = .84, Cohen's d = -0.03 to 0.08). Regarding symptoms of depression, no significant time x group effect was found (γ = 0.26, p = .09; Cohen's d = -0.15 to 0.21). There was also no significant time x group effect on the improvement of symptoms of anxiety (γ = 0.25, p = .09). However, Cohen's ds were above the non-inferiority margin 8-weeks (Cohen's d = 0.51) and 12-weeks post-randomization (Cohen's d = 0.37), preferring the CG. Of the IG, 34% and of the CG, 36% completed 80% of the modules. Conclusions: The PSD optimized version of StudiCare procrastination is effective in reducing procrastination. The digital coach was not inferior to human guidance. Guidance by a digital coach in iCBT against procrastination for college students could be a resource-saving alternative to human guidance.

description: We investigate nuclear light profiles in 135 ATLAS3D galaxies for which the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging is available and compare them to the large-scale kinematics obtained with the SAURONintegral-field spectrograph. Specific angular momentum, λR, correlateswith the shape of nuclear light profiles, where, as suggested by previous studies, cores are typically found in slow rotators and core-less galaxies are fast rotators. As also shown before, cores are found only in massive galaxies and only in systems with the stellar mass (measured via dynamical models) M ≳ 8 × 1010 M· Based on our sample, we, however, see no evidence for a bimodal distribution of nuclear slopes. The best predictor for finding a core is based on the stellar velocity dispersion within an effective radius, se, and specific angular momentum, where cores are found for λR ≲ 0.25 and σe ≳ 160 kms-1. We estimate that only about 10 per cent of nearby early-type galaxies contain cores. Furthermore, we show that there is a genuine population of fast rotators with cores. We also show that core fast rotators are morphologically, kinematically and dynamically different from core slow rotators. The cores of fast rotators, however, could harbour black holes of similar masses to those in core slow rotators, but typically more massive than those found in core-less fast rotators. Cores of both fast and slow rotators are made of old stars and found in galaxies typically lacking molecular or atomic gas (with a few exceptions). Core-less galaxies, and especially core-less fast rotators, are underluminous in the diffuse X-ray emission, but the presence of a core does not imply high X-ray luminosities. Additionally, we postulate (as many of these galaxies lack HST imaging) a possible population of core-less galaxies among slow rotators, which cannot be explained as face-on discs, but comprise a genuine sub-population of slow rotators. These galaxies are typically less massive and flatter than core slow rotators, and show evidence for dynamical cold structures and exponential photometric components. Based on our findings, major nondissipative (gas-poor) mergers together with black hole binary evolution may not be the only path for formation of cores in early-type galaxies. We discuss possible processes for formation of cores and their subsequent preservation.
Diacres permanents ou catéchistes au Congo-Kinshasa?

description: A cause de la rarete des pretres, les missionnaires avaient souhaite la restauration du diaconat permanent et suggere de donner la grace sacramentelle du diaconat aux catechistes, leurs auxiliaires, qui accomplissaient deja le ministere diaconal. Une suggestion retenue par le Concile Vatican II qui allait retablir le diaconat permanent dans l'Eglise latine (LG 29; AG 16). Les diacres permanents autant que les catechistes trouvaient ainsi leur origine dans la situation de penurie des pretres et leur ministere etait percu comme un ministere de suppleance pastorale. L'episcopat du Congo-Kinshasa avait exprime, quelques annees plutot, le souhait d'instaurer le diaconat dans l'Eglise presente au Congo. Mais au lendemain du Concile, au lieu de retablir le diaconat, les eveques congolais opterent pour l'institution des ministeres laics recommandes par Vatican II (LG 33; 35) et organises par le Pape Paul VI, allant ainsi dans le sens de la prise de conscience de la vocation et de la mission des baptises. En effet, pour des raisons particulieres et a la suite des evaluations pastorales, ces eveques n'ont pas donc juge opportune la restauration de ce ministere ordonne. Ils ont decide d'organiser la pastorale en fonction de la collaboration des laics, et principalement des catechistes qui, suivant les regions du Congo, portent le nom de Balami/ Bakambi, definissant ainsi les responsabilites de chef de communaute chretienne (et meme paroissiale) qui leur sont confiees. Il s'agit ici des ministeres contextuels, car leur institution est justifiee par des circonstances et des besoins pastoraux locaux, a savoir l'afficanisation et l'inculturation du message evangelique. Dans ces conditions, le diaconat permanent est-il un ministere pertinent pour le Congo? Nous comprenons ainsi que tous les ministeres ne sont pas necessaires toujours et partout, qu'ils naissent des besoins des communautes et qu'il existe une diversite et une complementarite ministerielle dans l'Eglise. D'ou cette question: de quel ministere une Eglise particuliere donnee a-t-elle besoin pour etre Eglise du Christ, pour assurer son implantation, sa croissance et sa vie?
Picture this: the impact of mobile camera phones on personal photographic practices
Creators: name: Gye, Lisa
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The convergence of the camera and mobile phone has proved to be highly popular. This should come as no surprise to anyone interested in both the history of mobility and the history of photography.1 As media archaeologist Errki Huhtamo has asserted, the first mobile medium proper was arguably amateur or personal photography (Huhtamo, 2004). Camera phones are not, however, just another kind of camera. Located as they are in a device that is not only connected to the telecommunications grid but that is usually carried with us wherever we go, camera phones are both extending existing personal imaging practices and allowing for the evolution of new kinds of imaging practices. Given the centrality of personal photography to processes of identity formation and memorialization, changes to the ways in which we capture, store, and disseminate personal photographs through the use of devices like camera phones will have important repercussions for how we understand who we are and how we remember the past. The aim of this paper is to look at the current social uses of personal photography and to consider the impact that camera phones will have on these uses. I will examine the ways in which camera phones are enabling new modes of personal photography, which will extend the role that photographs play in our lives. [Introduction]

description: Les agences de contrôle social, telles la probation et l'incarcération, sont présents dans la vie des gens en contact avec l'appareil pénal afin d'assurer, dans un premier temps, la sécurité et la protection de la communauté. Dans un deuxième temps, ces agences de contrôle espèrent effectuer des changements de personnalité, des modifications comportementales chez les individus; il s'agit du traitement de la réadaptation sociale. Il y a deux volets à l'intervention pénale: le premier relève du contrôle des gens et le second est orienté vers la réadaptation et la réinsertion sociale des gens-infracteurs. Contrôler et aider simultanément sont les deux objectifs de base de l'appareil pénal. Ces deux visées s'appliquent tant aux adultes via la prison qu'aux jeunes via la mise sous garde. Au cours de ce travail, nous verrons plus en détail en quoi consiste la continuité de l'intervention faite auprès des jeunes via le parcours du jeune-infracteur au sein de Yappareil pénal; de l'évaluation de sa situation jusqu'à sa réadaptation sociale.

description: Background: FAM92A1–289(abbreviated FAM289) is recognized as one of the newly-discovered putative oncogenes. However, its role and molecular mechanisms in promoting cancer progression has not yet been elucidated. This study was performed to reveal its oncogenic functions and molecular mechanisms in human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cell models with knockdown or overexpression of FAM289 in vitro and in vivo. Methods: To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying FAM289-mediated tumor progression, the protein-protein interaction between FAM289 and Galectin-1 was verified by co-immunoprecipitation, followed by an analysis of the expression and activity of Galectin-1-associated signaling molecules. Knockdown and overexpression of FAM289 in glioma cells were applied for investigating the effects of FAM289 on cell growth, migration and invasion. The determination of FAM289 expression was performed in specimens from various stages of human gliomas. Results: FAM289-galectin-1 interaction and concomitant activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway participated in FAM289-mediated tumor-promoting function. Since the expression of DNA methyl transferase 1 (DNMT1) and DNA methyl transferase 3B (DNMT3B) was regulated by FAM289 in U251 and U87-MG glioma cells, Galectin-1 interaction with FAM289 may promote FAM289 protein into the cell nucleus and activate the ERK pathway, thereby upregulating DNMTs expression. Drug resistance tests indicated that FAM289-mediated TMZ resistance was through stem-like property acquisition by activating the ERK pathway. The correlation between FAM289, Galectin-1 expression and the clinical stage of gliomas was also verified in tissue samples from glioblastoma patients. Conclusions: Our results suggest that high expression of FAM289 in GBM tissues correlated with poor prognosis. FAM289 contributes to tumor progression in malignant glioma by interacting with Galectin-1 thereby promoting FAM289 protein translocation into the cell nucleus. FAM289 in the nucleus activated the ERK pathway, up regulated DNMTs expression and induced stem-like property gene expression which affects drug resistance of glioma cells to TMZ. This study provided functional evidence for FAM289 to be developed as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

description: En milieu syndiqué, l’action syndicale est le seul mécanisme pour sanctionner un manquement à l’obligation de l’employeur de prévenir ou de faire cesser le harcèlement psychologique. Cette étude porte sur les effets du rôle accordé aux syndicats par le Projet de loi 143 dans la mise en œuvre et dans la réception du droit à un milieu de travail exempt de harcèlement psychologique ainsi que sur les effets du Projet de loi 143 sur la vie syndicale. Nous avons adopté une démarche méthodologique mixte, soit une méthodologie juridique juxtaposée à une enquête de terrain dans la forme d’entretiens avec des représentantes et représentants syndicaux (RRS) responsables de gérer les recours liés au harcèlement psychologique. Le fait de saisir les effets des normes juridiques dans le contexte du pluralisme normatif des milieux de travail syndiqués permet une réflexion sur l’effectivité mais aussi sur la légitimité du droit. Notre étude démontre que l’entrée en vigueur des dispositions portant sur le harcèlement psychologique a provoqué des changements importants dans les comportements des acteurs dans les milieux de travail syndiqués, et ce, nonobstant le fait que les arbitres n’ont accueilli qu’un petit nombre des griefs pour harcèlement. En singularisant le traitement du harcèlement psychologique parmi l’ensemble des risques psychosociaux au travail, le cadre législatif rend le mandat des RRS particulièrement exigeant. L’absence d’une approche globale à la prévention du harcèlement prive les syndicats d’outils et de ressources pour mener à bien leur mandat. De plus, des obligations lourdes pèsent sur ceux-ci en raison de leur devoir de représentation, et ce, d’autant plus lorsque la personne mise en cause est également membre de l’unité de négociation. Néanmoins, notre étude démontre que les RRS soutiennent les personnes syndiquées qui se croient victime de harcèlement psychologique avec beaucoup d’empathie. De manière pragmatique, les RRS voient à la défense de leurs intérêts, et ce, nonobstant le fait qu’ils sont limités par un cadre juridique qui ne leur permet pas d’agir sur les risques psychosociaux qui sont à l’origine de beaucoup de plaintes pour harcèlement psychologique.
White Settler Colonialism and (Re)presentations of Gendered Violence in Indigenous Women’s Theatre

description: Grounded in a historical, socio-cultural consideration of Indigenous women’s theatrical production, this dissertation examines representations of gendered violence in Canadian Indigenous women’s drama. The female playwrights who are the focus of my thesis – Monique Mojica, Marie Clements, and Yvette Nolan – counter colonial and occasionally postcolonial renditions of gendered and racialized violence by emphasizing female resistance and collective coalition. While these plays represent gendered violence as a real, material mechanism of colonial destruction, ultimately they work to promote messages of collective empowerment, recuperation, and survival. My thesis asks not only how a dramatic text might deploy a decolonizing aesthetic, but how it might redefine dramatic/literary and socio-cultural space for resistant and decolonial ends. Attentive to the great variance of subjective positions occupied by Indigenous women writers, I examine the historical context of theatrical reception, asking how the critic/spectator’s engagement with and dissemination of knowledge concerning Indigenous theatre might enhance or impede this redefinition. Informed by Indigenous/feminist poststructuralist and postcolonial theoretical perspectives that address the production and dissemination of racialized regimes of representation, my study assesses the extent to which colonialist misrepresentations of Indigenous women have served to perpetuate demeaning stereotypes, justifying devaluation of and violence – especially sexual violence – against Indigenous women. Most significantly, my thesis considers how and to what degree resistant representations in Indigenous women’s dramatic productions work against such representational and manifest violence.

description: This research quantified 46 volatile compounds in vintage wines (1998–2005) from British Columbia (BC), which had been bottle-aged for up to 120 months. Wines were analyzed up to five times, between December 2003 and October 2008. Compounds were identified using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and their concentrations were related to “wine age” using single linear regression (SLR). SLR models were developed for each wine compound (eight alcohol, 12 ester/acetate, one acid, one aldehyde, one sulfur) in eight varietal wines: six red (Cabernet franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Meritage, Merlot, Pinot noir, Syrah) and two white (Chardonnay, Pinot gris). Parameter estimates (b₀, intercept; b₁, slope) and R² values for models were reported for each compound and each variety. Most of the significant SLR models (109/123) had negative slopes (−b₁ coefficients), indicating a decrease in the compounds’ concentration with “wine age”. The b₁ coefficients were very small for isobutyl acetate, ethyl isovalerate and ethyl decanoate (−0.00013 to −0.0006 mg/L/mon) and largest (most negative) for 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl lactate and isobutyl alcohol (−2.26 to −6.26 mg/L/mon). A few SLR models (14/123) had positive slopes (+b₁ coefficients), indicating an increase in the compounds’ concentration with “wine age”, particularly for acetaldehyde, diethyl succinate, ethyl formate and dimethyl sulfide. The +b₁ coefficients were smallest for ethyl decanoate (0.0001 mg/L/mon) and dimethyl sulfide (0.00024 mg/L/mon) and largest for dimethyl succinate and acetaldehyde (0.06 mg/L/mon). These values varied by four orders of magnitude (104), reflecting the large concentration range observed for the different volatile compounds. The work provided, for the first time, an empirical (non-theoretical) approach to documenting the evolution of volatile compounds in BC wines. It equipped the industry with an easy-to-use new tool for predicting the concentration of desirable or undesirable compounds in their wines and assisted the industry with decision making regarding the release of their wines into the marketplace.
