description: Background: Peers are people with lived experience of mental illness. Peer support is an established intervention in which peers offer support to others with mental illness. A large proportion of people living with severe mental illness receive no care. The care gap is largest in low- and middle-income countries, with detrimental effects on individuals and societies. The global shortage of human resources for mental health is an important driver of the care gap. Peers are an under-used resource in global mental health. Objectives: To describe rationale and methodology of an international multicentre study which will scale-up peer support for people with severe mental illness in high-, middle-, and low-income countries through mixed-methods implementation research. Methods: UPSIDES is an international community of research and practice for peer support, including peer support workers, mental health researchers, and other relevant stakeholders in eight study sites across six countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia. During the first two years of UPSIDES, a series of qualitative studies and systematic reviews will explore stakeholders’ perceptions and the current state of peer support at each site. Findings will be incorporated into a conceptual framework to guide the development of a culturally appropriate peer support intervention to be piloted across all study sites. All intervention and study materials will be translated according to internationally recognised guidelines. Expected Impact: UPSIDES: will leverage the unique expertise of people with lived experience of mental illness to strengthen mental health systems in high-, middle- and low-income countries. UPSIDES will actively involve and empower service users and embed patient-centeredness, recovery orientation, human rights approaches, and community participation into services. The focus on capacity-building of peers may prove particularly valuable in low-resource settings in which shortages of human capital are most severe.
Études toxicocinétiques et synergiques de l'azadirachtine dihydrogénée chez la pyrale du maïs, Ostrinia nubilalis.

description: Toxicokinetic and synergistic studies were conducted with dihydro-azadirachtin (H$\sb2$-AZA) and a tritiated tracer on the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis Huber. Azadirachtin, a triterpenoid extracted from the Neem Tree Azadirachta indica A. Juss, has been recognized for years for its antifeedant and growth regulation properties on different insect species. The results have shown that: (1) H$\sb2$-AZA reduces the growth and affects the development of the ECB; (2) the elimination of the tracer within the feces takes between 12 to 24 hours following an oral or topical treatment; (3) the gut, the carcass and the fat bodies are subject to the highest accumulation of tracer for an oral treatment; the gut and the carcass present the highest accumulation of tracer for a topical treatment; (4) the penetration of tracer in the cuticle takes place rapidly, within the first 12 hours after topical treatment; and (5) dillapiol and piperonyl butoxyde, two polysubstrate monooxygenase (PSMO) inhibitors, increase the toxicity of H$\sb2$-AZA for the ECB. This study contributes to the understanding of how O. nubilalis reacts to the introduction of a substance like azadirachtin within its body and of how this molecule acts on the insect.

Will Australia learn from NZ's mistakes in higher education?

description: Since 1990 New Zealand has introduced many dramatic "reforms" into its higher education system, many of them well in advance of Australia. A number of these "reforms" have been unwound after nasty, unintended consequences were discovered. As a recently new Aussie - and an ex-Kiwi - I often wonder why Australia can't learn from observing New Zealand's lessons, rather than learning the hard way.

The rainbow trout muscle beta(2)-adrenoceptor system: Impact of beta(2)-agonist feeding.
Creators: name: Lortie, Michel B.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: Previous studies showed that beta2-adrenergic agonists (beta 2-AAs) enhanced muscle growth and reduced lipid deposition in animals of agricultural and economical importance, including teleost fish. The goal of the present study was to provide a mechanistic explanation underlying the reported beta2-AA-induced muscle growth in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Using radioligand binding assays and adenylyl cyclase/cAMP assays, this study characterized and demonstrated the presence of functional beta2-adrenoceptors (beta2-ARs) on red and white muscle membranes. Trout fed 40 ppm of two beta2-AAs (clenbuterol and ractopamine) for 30 days showed no significant changes in measured body and physiological parameters, beta2-AR numbers or beta2-AR mRNA levels in red or white muscle. However, treatments significantly increased fractional protein synthesis rates in red and white muscle. These studies demonstrate that beta2-AAs impact muscle protein synthesis by mechanisms initiated at the muscle membrane beta 2-AR and include the beta2-AR-signalling pathway in a teleost fish.
Study on the mechanism of photodegradation of pharmaceutical products and analogues, development of a novel fluorescence technique for DNA-damage detection.
Creators: name: Cosa, Gonzalo.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: This thesis focuses on different aspects of photobiology. The first chapters address the photophysical and photochemical characterization of two pharmaceutical products, fenofibric acid and ketoprofen, both containing the benzophenone chromophore. These studies have been performed with the aim of better understanding the photostability of these drugs. These compounds are shown to undergo efficient photodecarboxylation in basic solutions, with concomitant formation of carbanions. Time-resolved studies lead us to propose a singlet mediated reaction in the case of ketoprofen, whereas the photoreactivity of fenofibric acid results from the triplet state of this compound; further, dramatic solvent dependence is encountered in the photochemical reactions of the latter drug and its photoproducts. In the case of ketoprofen photodegradation, the photogenerated benzylic carbanion can be monitored, and lifetime measurements at different temperatures and in different solvents have been performed to determine its dynamic parameters. The decay of this carbanion, resulting from protonation by water, is found to occur within a few hundred nanoseconds; and the protonation rate is shown to be dependent on the solvent and the degree of substitution of the carbanion center. The case of alpha-diketones as potential photosensitizers is also addressed with the example study of a di-thienyl alpha-diketone; i.e., 2,2 '-thenil. Direct spectroscopic evidence is given for the formation of a molecular oxygen-triplet adduct (Bartlett-Schenck intermediate), a previously described, though never isolated, reactive oxygen species about which little is known. The formation and yield of this intermediate are discussed in terms of the energy of its triplet precursors. The subsequent chapters in this thesis deal with two other biologically relevant problems where photochemistry and photophysics are employed as a tool in order to better understand the systems under study. Thus the properties of the adrenaline derived radical are evaluated, as a case study for the catecholamine group in general. Absolute rate constants for tert-butoxyl radical scavenging and triplet benzophenone quenching are reported, and a reactivity comparison is established with other intermediates involved in the reaction of melanin formation via catecholamines. A second aspect involves the development of a novel technique to assess DNA-damage, based on fluorescence of dye-DNA complexes. The rigidity imposed by the DNA base pairs on intercalating chromophores is exploited. Its retardation effect on the relaxation of a photoexcited DNA-stain probe is employed to determine the amounts of DNA existing as double and single stranded form; which is ultimately an expression of the damage the DNA has suffered.
Resilient characteristics in high-achieving women.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.

description: People who do not succumb to adversity but excel and achieve are said to be resilient. Individuals can become competent and successful despite having experienced adversity. Resilient protective characteristics may be classified into the following categories: internal psychological characteristics, environmental factors and social cultural factors. The internal protective resilient characteristics of populations who have overcome adversity are numerous. However, research on the internal protective resilient characteristics of the population of gifted females is limited. Moreover, there is a lack of literature focusing on one population, gifted females, and what internal resilient protective factors they utilize to build successful lives. This study attempts to provide insight regarding the questions: (1) What behavioral and psychological internal resilient protective factors do gifted women use to overcome challenges; and (2) Do they use the same internal resilient protective factors that other populations use? This study explores the internal resilient characteristics of women currently enrolled in graduate school who have received an academic scholarship. A content-analysis of the emerging resilient characteristics and a content-analysis of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of 18 specific resilient characteristics is conducted. Recommendations are made to guide educators in nurturing resilient characteristics in gifted female students.

description: Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) and suicidality are common reasons for emergency presentations in child and adolescent psychiatry. Therefore, we focused on reasons for emergency presentations as well as specific characteristics of those presenting with NSSI or suicidality to an emergeny psychiatric service. We analyzed data from a German university hospital regarding emergency presentations during a 78 months' period. NSSI and suicidality were rated according to the Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA). Data from 546 emergency presentations was recorded, of which 347 (63.5%) presented for NSSI or suicidality. Given the high percentage, thorough assessment of sucidality as well as providing adequate treatment in emergency settings to establish further care, is of utmost importance.

Beaker, Middle Iron Age and Late Iron Age Pottery from Denmead, Hampshire [UK]: Pottery from the Burnt Mound and Enclosure

description: The prehistoric pottery assemblage from Forest Road, Denmead, comprises 1657 sherds weighing approximately 13 kilograms. Three period groups are definitely represented within it, Early Bronze Age (EBA) comprising sherds from a fingertip impressed Beaker and a handful of typologically undiagnostic sherds in ?Late Neolithic/Beaker type fabrics; Middle Iron Age (MIA), divisible into an ‘earlier’ group comprising undecorated saucepan pottery, and a ‘later’ group comprising a single lightly decorated saucepan pot, bi-conical jars and a heavily decorated jar with an S-shaped profile; and Late Iron Age (LIA), represented by forms associated with the so-called Southern Atrebatic style and a cordoned vessel ultimately inspired by a wheel-thrown analogue of continental origin. The fabrics of these, respectively, flint and grog-tempered (Beaker), fine and medium flint-tempered and sandy (MIA) and medium to coarse flint-tempered and sandy (LIA), are all characteristic of East Hampshire/West Sussex sites. Research into the prehistoric pottery of the region is advanced by the Denmead assemblage in three ways. The first relates to the nature of pottery fabrics during the first millennium BC. Within East Hampshire and West Sussex there is a significant overlap between those belonging to different pottery traditions. The present assemblage, which incorporates a large number of chronologically diagnostic ‘feature’ sherds, helps resolve locally which fabrics and — more importantly — which groups of fabrics can be expected of which first millennium BC traditions. The second relates to the use of different fabric types during the Late Iron Age, for there is reason to believe that during the period at Denmead a particular fabric was reserved for funerary use. The last relates to pottery deposition. The region has, in recent years, produced a number of mixed saucepan pot/Southern Atrebatic assemblages (Oving, Shopwyke, North Bersted). This has led to suggestions that, for a period, the two existed concurrently. It is clear at Denmead however that MIA pottery was re-deposited on top of LIA pottery. This suggests, firstly, the existence of a MIA midden (the source of the re-deposited pottery), and secondly a mechanism by which saucepan pottery and Southern Atrebatic pottery could have become mixed on sites in the region.

Punching shear strength of reinforced concrete slab.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: This thesis presents the results of punching shear tests performed on a 2 x 2 bay continuous slab with/and without supplementary supports. On the basis of these tests, the code method of calculating the ultimate strength of interior, edge and corner column connections of flat slab were investigated. The thickness of the specimen was 140 mm and the spans length were 2743 mm. The ACI 318-89, BS 8110-85 and CEB-FIP 90 Codes were critically reviewed by comparing with the experiment results and results from the literature. It was found that in general the Code predictions are reasonable but for corner column connections the ACI Code over-estimates the ultimate shear capacity of the slab and BS 8110-85 requirements for edge and corner column connections are simplistic. The experimental results show that the supplementary supports can increase the ultimate punching shear capacity when the supports are properly located.

Description.
Sexual morph: not observed. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, immersed in bark, erumpent, ostiolated, with multiple irregularly arranged circular or ovoid locules, 1,050 –1,400 μm in diam. Conceptacle absent, ostiole conspicuous, circular, dark gray, at the same level as the disc. Conidiophores semimacronematous, hyaline, filamentous, mainly unbranched or branched at base, elongated, smooth, thin-walled, (16.0 –) 17.7–22.2 (– 23.5) μm. Conidiogenous cells enteroblastic, polyphialidic. Conidia abundant, single, hyaline, aseptate, curved, allantoid, thin-walled (5.0 –) 5.4–6.1 (– 6.5) × (1.0 –) 1.2–1.5 μm.
Culture characteristics.
Colonies on MEA initially white, becoming beige with dense aerial mycelium, slow-growing (17 mm in diameter) after 7 days of incubation. Hyphae hyaline, smooth, branched, and septate.
Material examined.
Canada • Ontario, Lincoln, 43°06'38.2"N, 79°19'17.5"W, branches of Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, pycnidia (conidiomata) formed on cankered branches and twigs, April 2020, E. Ilyukhin (BILAS 51883, DAOM 985023, DAOMC 256987).
Notes.
Morphologically, two isolates of C. piceae are very similar, but EI-19 (A) has slightly longer conidiophores and conidia than CFCC 52841. Originally, C. piceae was described as a pathogen associated with the canker disease of Picea crassifolia in China (Pan et al. 2018). But the species was isolated from different hosts (including non-conifers) in other parts of Canada based on ITS sequence data (ON 352565, PQ 671332, PQ 671333, PQ 666762) available in GenBank.

description: Background: Acute chorioamnionitis (aCA), inflammation of the placenta and fetal membranes, is a frequently reported lesion in preterm deliveries. Genetic variants in innate immune system genes such as Interleukin-6 (IL6) may contribute to the placenta’s inflammatory response, thus predisposing some pregnancies to aCA. These genetic variants may modulate molecular processes such as DNA methylation and gene expression, and in turn might affect susceptibility to aCA. Currently, there is remarkably little research on the role of fetal (placental) genetic variation in aCA. We aimed to explore the associations between genetic variants in candidate immune-system genes and susceptibility towards inflammatory responses in the placenta, which is linked to a strong inflammatory response in the newborn. Methods: DNA samples from 269 placentas (72 aCA cases, 197 non-aCA cases) were collected for this study. Samples were genotyped at 55 ancestry informative markers (AIMs) and 16 additional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 12 candidate innate immune system genes using the Sequenom iPLEX Gold Assay. Publicly available datasets were used to obtain DNA methylation (GSE100197, GSE74738, GSE115508, GSE44667, GSE98224) and gene expression data (GSE44711, GSE98224). Results: Differences in IL6 placental allele frequencies were associated with aCA (rs1800796, p = 0.04) with the CC genotype specifically implicated (OR = 3.1; p = 0.02). In a subset of the placental samples (n = 67; chorionic villi), we showed that the IL6 SNP (rs1800796) was associated with differential DNA methylation in five IL6-related CpG sites (cg01770232, cg02335517, cg07998387, cg13104385, and cg0526589), where individuals with a CC genotype showed higher DNA methylation levels than individuals carrying the GG genotype. Using two publicly available datasets, we observed that the DNA methylation levels at cg01770232 negatively correlated with IL6 gene expression in the placenta (r = − 0.67, p < 0.004; r = − 0.56, p < 2.937e-05). Conclusions: We demonstrated that the minor C allele at the IL6 SNP (rs1800796), which is largely limited to East Asian populations, is associated with the presence of aCA. This SNP was associated with increased DNA methylation at a nearby MEPC2 binding site, which was also associated with decreased expression of IL6 in the placenta. Decreased expression of IL6 may increase vulnerability to microbial infection. Additional studies are required to confirm this association in Asian populations with larger sample sizes.

Fig. 4
Etymology.
The name refers to the host genus, Picea, from which the fungus was first isolated.
Holotype.
Canada • Ontario, Lincoln, 43°06'39.0"N, 79°19'15.4"W, isolated from cankered wood (branches) of Picea glauca, April 2020, E. Ilyukhin (holotype BILAS 51884, ex-holotype living culture BILAS 51886 = EI-20, isotype DAOM 985024, DAOMC 256985).
Description.
Sexual morph: not observed in culture. Asexual morph: Conidiomata appearing after 25 days of incubation on MEA, rare, pycnidial, solitary, globose to subglobose, dark grey to black when dry, with few ovoid locules, (610 –) 824–1071 (– 1380) μm diam. Conidiophores micronematous, hyaline, smooth-walled, reduced to unbranched conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells enteroblastic, phialidic, lageniform, or ampulliform (7.5 –) 8.8–10.6 (– 13.0) × (1.0 –) 1.3–1.7 (– 2.0) μm. Conidia abundant, relatively small, single, hyaline, aseptate, slightly curved, allantoid, thin-walled (3.5 –) 3.8–4.9 (– 5.5) × (1.0 –) 0.8–1.3 (– 1.5) μm.
Culture characteristics.
Colonies on MEA white to light brown with short aerial mycelium tufts in the center, becoming darker with age, relatively slow-growing (28 mm in diameter) after 7 days of incubation. Hyphae hyaline, smooth, branched, and septate.
Notes.
Based on ITS sequence data, C. piceicola is 99 % similar to C. globosa MFLU: 16-2054 (554 / 559, 3 gaps) and C. pinastri CBS 113.81 (540 / 545, 0 gaps). But combined multi-gene phylogenetic analysis clearly distinguished C. piceicola from these two species (ML / BI = 95 / -). The new species, C. piceicola, differs from C. globosa (4–6.5 × 1–2 µm) and C. pinastri (4–7 × 1–1.3 μm) by having shorter conidia and clearly lageniform or ampulliform conidiogenous cells (Hayova and Minter 2013; Li et al. 2020). The culture characteristics cannot be used for species discrimination as they are either unavailable (C. pinastri) or different media has been used (C. globosa). Thus, C. piceicola is considered a novel species based on both molecular data and morphological characteristics.

description: In the European Union, baits against pharaoh ants (Monomorium pharaonis) have to be authorized asbiocidal products. The dossier to be submitted for authorization of the product has to include a proof of productefficacy. No consistent test standards have been established by the European Commission. A test method forefficacy testing of baits against Pharaoh ants was published by the Federal Environment Agency Germany in1998 and is in use for efficacy tests according to the German Infectious Diseases Protection Act. The test systemis a test arena of interconnected test boxes (each 25 cm x 25 cm). In our study, this test system was comparedwith a dish (diameter 23 cm) as test arena. Test duration was 50 days for both arena types (boxes and dish) forchoice and 20 days for no-choice tests. The results for choice tests revealed that in the box system more colonieswere eradicated (boxes: 75%, dishes: 0%) within 50 d, and more queens died (average number of survivingqueens was 0.5 in boxes and 29.7 in dishes).

Sequence features affecting translation initiation in eukaryotes: A bioinformatic approach

description: Sequence features play an important role in the regulation of translation initiation. This thesis focuses on the sequence features affecting eukaryotic initiation. The characteristics of 5' untranslated region in Saccharomyces cerevisiae were explored. It is found that the 40 nucleotides upstream of the start codon is the critical region for translation initiation in yeast. Moreover, this thesis attempted to solve some controversies related to the start codon context. Two key nucleotides in the start codon context are the third nucleotide upstream of the start codon (-3 site) and the nucleotide immediately following the start codon (+4 site). Two hypotheses regarding +4G (G at +4 site) in Kozak consensus, the translation initiation hypothesis and the amino acid constraint hypothesis, were tested. The relationship between the -3 and +4 sites in seven eukaryotic species does not support the translation initiation hypothesis. The amino acid usage at the position after the initiator (P1' position) compared to other positions in the coding sequences of seven eukaryotic species was examined. The result is consistent with the amino acid constraint hypothesis. In addition, this thesis explored the relationship between +4 nucleotide and translation efficiency in yeast. The result shows that +4 nucleotide is not important for translation efficiency, which does not support the translation initiation hypothesis. This work improves our current understanding of eukaryotic translation initiation process.

description: A main pathological event in Alzheimer’s disease is the generation of neurofibrillary tangles originating from hyperphosphorylated and subsequently aggregated tau proteins. Previous reports demonstrated the critical involvement of members of the protein kinase family CK1 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease by hyperphosphorylation of tau. However, precise mechanisms and effects of CK1-mediated tau phosphorylation are still not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed recombinant tau441 phosphorylated by CK1δ in vitro via mass spectrometry and identified ten potential phosphorylation sites, five of them are associated to Alzheimer’s disease. To confirm these results, in vitro kinase assays and two-dimensional phosphopeptide analyses were performed with tau441 phosphomutants confirming Alzheimer’s disease-associated residues Ser68/Thr71 and Ser289 as CK1δ-specific phosphorylation sites. Treatment of differentiated human neural progenitor cells with PF-670462 and Western blot analysis identified Ser214 as CK1δ-targeted phosphorylation site. The use of an in vitro tau aggregation assay demonstrated a possible role of CK1δ in tau aggregation. Results obtained in this study highlight the potential of CK1δ to be a promising target in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Performance-oriented view planning for automated object reconstruction.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: There is a growing demand for 3D virtual models of complex physical objects in a wide range of applications. Thus far, the task of reconstructing high quality object models with range cameras (a shape measurement sensor) has been a manual, time consuming process. There is a growing demand to automate the model building process. The key open problem is to find an accurate, robust and efficient view planning algorithm---that is, the process of determining a suitable set of sensor viewpoints and imaging parameters for a specified reconstruction task with a given imaging environment. This thesis presents and analyzes the performance of a model-based approach to view planning for automated object reconstruction. The view planning approach is "performance-oriented" in the sense that it is based on a set of explicit quality requirements expressed in a model specification and incorporates performance models for the range camera and positioning system. A new theoretical framework for the view planning problem is presented as an instance of the set covering problem with a registration constraint and is formulated as an integer programming problem. The theoretical framework facilitates a more intuitive understanding of the nature of view planning. It also provides an explicit mathematical formulation amenable to a well understood set of exact and approximate solution techniques. The measurability impact of pose error is studied in detail and counter-measures are presented to mitigate its effects. Methods for sparse sampling of object surface space and viewpoint space are presented and their performance is characterized.

description: In cosmology, we use Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) along with other probes, to study the evolution of our universe. In this thesis, I have shown that the host galaxies of SNe Ia can change their luminosities, which can bias cosmological results. I have also shown how to obtain better standard candles by studying SNe Ia in different host galaxy types. My work is important for the current and future supernova surveys in reducing astrophysical systematic in supernova cosmology.
