Indigenous women's reproductive (in)justice(s) and self-determination : envisioning futures through a collaborative research project
Creators: name: McKenzie, Holly Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation traces the process and shares the findings of a collaborative project with urban Indigenous women on the homelands of the Métis Nation and Treaty One (Winnipeg), Treaty Four (Regina) and Treaty Six (Saskatoon) territories. The purpose of this project was to explore: 1) How do Indigenous women living in three prairie cities (Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina) define and understand reproductive justice and reproductive sovereignty? 2) How do urban Indigenous women claim and exercise their rights to reproductive justice? 3) What changes to social and health services will respect and support urban Indigenous women’s rights to reproductive justice? 4) What political, economic and community changes will respect and support urban Indigenous women’s rights to reproductive justice? I engaged a collaborative action-oriented methodological approach, informed by Indigenous storytelling (Kovach, 2009), post-critical ethnography (Lather, 2007), Hankivsky’s (2012) Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis Framework and Clark’s (2012) Indigenous Intersectional-Based Policy Analysis Framework. The study demonstrates that self-determination is central to Indigenous women’s reproductive justice, which is interconnected with sexual justice. Within the context of Indigenous women’s reproductive and sexual lives, self-determination is activated in intergenerational and relational ways, meaning that women and their relationships to kin, animals, communities, land and cosmos are the primary influences governing their experiences. Indigenous women determine their reproductive and sexual futures within a context of various sociopolitical forces, including: colonial policies, processes and narratives; inclusive and responsive care; and Indigenous survivance (moving beyond survival to exercise anti-colonial resistance and sovereignty (Vizenor, 1994, 1998)). This analysis demonstrates that colonial narratives of Indigenous women as hypersexual and irresponsible mothers place Indigenous women ‘at risk’ of violations to their rights to free, full and informed consent and free, prior and informed consent. In particular, Indigenous women experience patterns of healthcare and service providers coercing them to use long-term contraceptives, and undergo tubal ligation and abortion procedures. Indigenous women build self-determining pathways within these coercive contexts through acts of refusal, negotiation and sharing community knowledge. It is crucial to transform organizations and institutions through processes grounded in decolonizing aims to reduce the harms of colonial heteropatriarchy on Indigenous women’s reproductive and sexual lives.

description: We study a coupled dark energy-dark matter model in which the energy-momentum exchange is proportional to the Hubble expansion rate. The inclusion of its perturbation is required by gauge invariance. We derive the linear perturbation equations for the gauge invariant energy density contrast and velocity of the coupled fluids, and we determine the initial conditions. The latter turn out to be adiabatic for dark energy, when assuming adiabatic initial conditions for all the standard fluids. We perform a full Monte Carlo Markov Chain likelihood analysis of the model, using WMAP 7-year data.

description: We show that colliders can impose strong constraints on models of dark matter, in particular when the dark matter is light. We analyze models where the dark matter is a fermion or scalar interacting with quarks and/or gluons through an effective theory containing higher dimensional operators which represent heavier states that have been integrated out of the effective field theory. We determine bounds from existing Tevatron searches for monojets as well as expected LHC reaches for a discovery. We find that colliders can provide information which is complementary or in some cases even superior to experiments searching for direct detection of dark matter through its scattering with nuclei. In particular, both the Tevatron and the LHC can outperform spin dependent searches by an order of magnitude or better over much of parameter space, and if the dark matter couples mainly to gluons, the LHC can place bounds superior to any spin independent search.

The potential of lignin to increase the hydrophobicity of micro/nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC)
Creators: name: Yeap, Rou Yi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The demand for novel cellulosic material, such as micro/nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) is expected to face increasing growth due to its unique properties and evolving, high value applications in packaging, biomedical and nanocomposite materials. However, the hydrophilicity of MNFC has limited some of its applications, particularly in the packaging sector. Common modifications to improve hydrophobicity of MNFC often involves costly and environmentally challenging chemicals. Lignin is naturally hydrophobic, environmentally benign and as described herein, could be an effective agent to improve the hydrophobicity of MNFC. Softwood Kraft lignin (SWKL) was first considered due to its commercial availability. When SWKL was dissolved in alkaline solution and acid precipitated onto MNFC, substantial amounts of lignin were deposited on the surface, resulting in a two-fold increase in initial water contact angle as compared to the control. However, no significant improvement on MNFC hydrophobicity was observed as the contact angle was unstable over time. It was apparent that the contact angle measurements were strongly influenced by the roughness of the paper, the porous nature of cellulose and the extent of lignin homogeneity on cellulose surface. To enhance the efficacy of the approach, hot pressing lignin-containing papers near lignin’s glass transition temperature was assessed. It was hoped that this would help redistribute the lignin, resulting in better lignin homogeneity on the fiber’s surface. Initial results seemed promising as the contact angle was stable over a period of two minutes after hot pressing. Other attempt to incorporate lignin, such as spray coating with hot pressing, was evaluated to enhance homogenous lignin coverage on the paper. Contact angles as high as 85° and 95° were achieved, for SWKL and organosolv lignin respectively. Lignin coverage as low as 1% was able to impart hydrophobicity using the spray coating method. Although the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) could be substantially reduced by hot pressing, the incorporation of lignin onto the paper did not reduce the WVTR significantly. This work showed that hot pressing lignin-containing papers resulted in improved hydrophobicity, likely due to the redistribution of lignin on fiber surfaces and the formation of a denser fiber network.

description: We investigate the idea that the double cover of the rotational icosahedral symmetry group is the family symmetry group in the quark sector. The icosahedral (A5) group was previously proposed as a viable family symmetry group for the leptons. To incorporate the quarks, it is highly advantageous to extend the group to its double cover, as in the case of tetrahedral (A4) symmetry. We provide the basic group theoretical tools for flavor model-building based on the binary icosahedral group I' and construct a model of the quark masses and mixings that yields many of the successful predictions of the well-known U(2) quark texture models.

description: The main contribution of this study is to better understand the importance of ethical behavior according to gender and age in Portuguese accountants’ profession. These results can be used by the accountants’ order in the conditions to access the profession and by the Higher Education Institutions with degrees leading to the profession to adjust their learning outcomes. Ethics is an important ability in any profession but, considering the spectrum of responsibilities of the certified accountants, ethics should be even more important. The research concerning ethical issues related to accountants’ profession has increased in the last years. Those studies highlight mostly the nature and extent of ethical problems in the profession. This study aims to validate the different importance given to ethical behavior in accountants’ profession in Portugal, for men and women, and to understand how they also feel differently when in self-evaluation. The study allows comparing different generations in the profession. Hence, the research questions this study aims to respond are: (1) Who considers ethic ability more important to the accountants’ profession, men or women? (2) Is there a different sense of ethical behavior when in self-evaluation in both genders? (3) Does the accountants’ age influence their sense of ethics? The methodological approach is a prior literature review about ethical issues in accountants’ profession, followed by an empirical study based on a questionnaire fulfilled by 628 accountants. Results show a different level of given importance and even self-evaluation to ethical behavior depending on gender, but not on age.

The latter is an analogue of the classical problem in univariate spline theory, known there as the "de Boor conjecture". A corollary of this work is that for appropriate kernels the least squares projector provides universal near-best approximations for functions f\in L_p, 1\le p\le \infty.

description: Determining the energy scale of inflation is crucial to understand the nature of inflation in the early Universe. We place observational constraints on the energy scale of the observable part of the inflaton potential by combining the 7-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data with distance measurements from the baryon acoustic oscillations in the distribution of galaxies and the Hubble constant measurement. Our analysis provides an upper limit on this energy scale, 2.3 \times 10^{16} GeV at 95% confidence level. Moreover, we forecast the sensitivity and constraints achievable by the Planck experiment by performing Monte Carlo studies on simulated data. Planck could significantly improve the constraints on the energy scale of inflation and on the shape of the inflaton potential.

description: It is shown that the helicity amplitudes A_1/2 and S_1/2 in the gamma N -> N(1535) reaction, can be well related by S_1/2 = -\frac{\sqrt{1+τ}}{\sqrt{2}} \frac{M_S^2-M^2}{2 M_S Q} A_1/2 in the region Q^2 > 2 GeV^2, where M and M_S are the nucleon and N(1535) masses, q^2=-Q^2 the four-momentum transfer squared, and tau=\sfrac{Q^2}{(M_S+M)^2}. The observed relation is tested by the experimental data and the MAID parametrization. A direct consequence of the relation is that the assumption,|A_1/2| >> |S_1/2|, is not valid for high Q^2. Instead, both amplitudes A_1/2 and S_1/2 have the same Q^2 dependence in the high Q^2 region, aside from that S_{1/2} has an extra factor,-\sfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sfrac{M_S-M}{2M_S}. The origin of this relation is interpreted in a perspective of a quark model.

description: As a half-metal is spin-polarized at its Fermi level by definition, it was conventionally thought to have little proximity effect to an s-wave superconductor. Here we show that, with interface spin-orbit coupling, $p_x +ip_y$ superconductivity without spin degeneracy is induced on the half-metal, and we give an estimate of its bulk energy gap. Therefore a single-band half-metal can give us a topological superconductor with a single chiral Majorana edge state. Our band calculation shows that two atomic layers of VTe or CrO$_2$ is a single-band half-metal for a wide range ($\sim$0.1eV) of Fermi energy and thus is a suitable candidate material.

description: Noticeable deviations from the prediction of the fiducial LCDM cosmology are found in the angular power spectrum of the CMB. Besides large-angle anomalies, the WMAP 1st year data revealed a dip in the power spectrum at l \sim 200, which seemed to disappear in the 3rd year and subsequent angular power spectra. Using the WMAP 1st, 3rd, and 5th year data as well as the 5 year coadded data, we study the intensity and spatial distribution of this feature in order to unveil its origin and its implications for the cosmological parameters. We show that in all WMAP data releases there is a substantial suppression of the first Doppler peak in a region near the north ecliptic pole.

The effect of sulfur in rotary kiln fuels on nickel laterite calcination
Creators: name: Haziq Uddin, Muhammad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Rotary Kiln - Electric Furnace (RKEF) process is the most commonly used pyrometallurgical technique for processing nickel laterite ores and is mainly suited for saprolite deposits. Sulfur is one of the most harmful elements in crude ferronickel obtained via the RKEF process and adversely affects the mechanical properties of the final product. Typically, laterite ores contain insubstantial sulfur content; hence, it is hypothesized that most of the sulfur in crude ferronickel originates from the coal added as the fuel and the reductant during calcination in the rotary kiln. This study investigates the role of sulfur content of rotary kiln fuels on the composition of the calcine. The calcination-partial reduction experiments were conducted in a furnace at 900 °C for a 2-hour residence time. Various reducing gas mixtures representing combustion product of rotary kiln fuels (i.e., coal) were contacted with the ore. The sulfur content of the resulting calcines were measured by ICP-AES analysis. At constant PCO, the sulfur content of the calcine increases linearly with an increase in PSO₂ in the input gas mixtures. Similarly, at fixed PSO₂, the percentage of sulfur in the calcine and sulfur deportation increase with PCO. However, an exceptional case is observed at PSO₂ = 0 atm, where the sulfur content and sulfur deportation slightly decrease by increasing PCO in the input gas. The sulfur content and the percentage of sulfur deportation drop at a lower input flow rate of the reducing gas mixtures. Lastly, the sum of the metallized and sulfurized iron/nickel was found to increase with an increase in PSO₂.

description: Roles of turbulence in the context of magnetic reconnection are investigated with special emphasis on the mutual interaction between flow (large-scale inhomogeneous structure) and turbulence. In order to evaluate the effective transport due to turbulence, in addition to the {\it intensity} information of turbulence represented by the turbulent energy, the {\it structure} information represented by pseudoscalar statistical quantities (helicities) is important. On the basis of the evolution equation, mechanisms that provide turbulence with cross helicity are presented. Magnetic-flux freezing in highly turbulent media is considered with special emphasis on the spatial distribution of the turbulent cross helicity. The cross-helicity effects in the context of magnetic reconnection are also investigated. It is shown that the large-scale flow and magnetic-field configurations favorable for the cross-helicity generation is compatible with the fast reconnection. In this sense, turbulence and large-scale structures promote magnetic reconnection mediated by the turbulent cross helicity.

description: A resonant two level atom doped in one dimensional waveguide behaves as a mirror, but this single-atom "mirror" can only reflect single photon perfectly at a specific frequency. For a one dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide, we propose to extend the perfect reflection region from a specific frequency to a wide band by placing many atoms individually in the resonators in a finite coordinate region of the waveguide. Such a doped resonator array promises us to control the propagation of a practical photon wave packet with certain momentum distribution instead of a single photon, which is ideally represented by a plane wave with specific momentum. The studies based on the discrete-coordinate scattering theory display that such hybrid structure indeed provides a near-perfect reflection for single photon in a wide band. We also calculated photon group velocity distribution, which shows that the perfect reflection with wide band exactly corresponds to the stopping light region.

description: We find that the Hodge conjecture is an overdetermined system rather than an underdetermined system, thereby becoming homogenous and leading to overfitting. A product of normal spaces need not be normal thereby initiating and reinforcing the conjecture. A norm should be found through regularization. We find the Magic Star polygon to be a satisfying norm. The Torelli theorem also gives deep and technical proof. Analysis can be seen through a multiple regression technique. Automorphism is not obtainable with a contradiction in the trivial and integral.

Effect of medical foods used in dietary management of subjects with propionic acidemia (PROP)
Creators: name: Saleemani, Haneen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Introduction: Propionic Acidemia (PROP) is an inborn errors of metabolism disorder, caused by a defect in the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). PCC catalyzes two of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), valine, isoleucine. The management of PROP depends on dietary protein restriction and medical food consumption. Recently, concerns have been raised about medical foods due to imbalanced content of BCAA (high leucine – another BCAA, and no valine/isoleucine). It has been suggested that this imbalanced mixture of BCAA negatively impacts plasma concentrations of valine and isoleucine, and therefore growth in children with PROP. Studies on long-term growth outcomes in subjects with PROP are limited. Thus, a comprehensive assessment of dietary intake and its impact on growth in children with PROP is needed. Furthermore, since subjects with PROP depend on medical foods as an easily tolerable source of energy and protein, there is a need to determine the optimal BCAA ratio in medical foods to optimize protein synthesis and growth. Methods & Results: A retrospective chart review was conducted on four subjects with PROP; longitudinal data on dietary intake and growth outcomes for 1999-2018 were collected. Results suggest that subjects had persistently low height Z scores, despite consuming protein intakes higher than guidelines. However, the high consumption of medical foods protein relative to intact protein impacted growth. A prospective study to test different BCAA (LEU: ILE: VAL) ratios was conducted using the indicator amino acid oxidation method. Eight healthy children participated at 7 different test intakes with the use of L-1-13C-Phenylalanine oxidation to 13CO2 as a marker of protein synthesis. ANOVA showed significant differences with different test intakes, with a ratio between 1: 0.26: 0.28 and 1:0.35:0.4 observed to be associated with optimal protein synthesis. Conclusion: Our results indicate that intact protein restriction together with overusing medical foods could have affected growth in children with PROP. Currently used medical foods are formulated to provide an imbalanced BCAA (1:0:0), which was associated with the highest oxidation rates (indicating low protein synthesis). Future studies should examine the effect of BCAA ratios between (1:0.26:0.28) and (1:0.35:0.4) in subjects with PROP to measure adequacy for protein synthesis.
Renormalization of heavy-light currents in moving NRQCD

description: Heavy-light decays such as $B \to π\ell ν$, $B \to K^{*} γ$ and $B \to K^{(*)} \ell \ell$ can be used to constrain the parameters of the Standard Model and in indirect searches for new physics. While the precision of experimental results has improved over the last years this has still to be matched by equally precise theoretical predictions. The calculation of heavy-light form factors is currently carried out in lattice QCD. Due to its small Compton wavelength we discretize the heavy quark in an effective non-relativistic theory. By formulating the theory in a moving frame of reference discretization errors in the final state are reduced at large recoil. Over the last years the formalism has been improved and tested extensively. Systematic uncertainties are reduced by renormalizing the m(oving)NRQCD action and heavy-light decay operators. The theory differs from QCD only for large loop momenta at the order of the lattice cutoff and the calculation can be carried out in perturbation theory as an expansion in the strong coupling constant. In this paper we calculate the one loop corrections to the heavy-light vector and tensor operator. Due to the complexity of the action the generation of lattice Feynman rules is automated and loop integrals are solved by the adaptive Monte Carlo integrator VEGAS. We discuss the infrared and ultraviolet divergences in the loop integrals both in the continuum and on the lattice. The light quarks are discretized in the ASQTad and highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action; the formalism is easily extended to other quark actions.

A parsec-scale outflow from the luminous YSO IRAS 17527-2439

description: Imaging observations of IRAS 17527-2439 are obtained in the near-IR JHK photometric bands and in a narrow-band filter centred at the wavelength of the H_2 1-0 S(1) line. The continuum-subtracted H_2 image is used to identify outflows. The data obtained in this study are used in conjunction with Spitzer, AKARI, and IRAS data. A parsec-scale bipolar outflow is discovered in our H_2 line image, which is supported by the detection in the archival Spitzer images. The H_2 image exhibits signs of precession of the main jet and shows tentative evidence for a second outflow. These suggest the possibility of a companion to the outflow source. There is a strong component of continuum emission in the direction of the outflow, which supports the idea that the outflow cavity provides a path for radiation to escape, thereby reducing the radiation pressure on the accreted matter. The bulk of the emission observed close to the outflow in the WFCAM and Spitzer bands is rotated counter clockwise with respect to the outflow traced in H_2, which may be due to precession. The YSO driving the outflow is identified in the Spitzer images. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of the YSO is studied using available radiative transfer models. A model fit to the SED of the central source tells us that the YSO has a mass of 12.23 M_sun and that it is in an early stage of evolution.

description: We study the optimal timing of derivative purchases in incomplete markets. In our model, an investor attempts to maximize the spread between her model price and the offered market price through optimally timing her purchase. Both the investor and the market value the options by risk-neutral expectations but under different equivalent martingale measures representing different market views. The structure of the resulting optimal stopping problem depends on the interaction between the respective market price of risk and the option payoff. In particular, a crucial role is played by the delayed purchase premium that is related to the stochastic bracket between the market price and the buyer's risk premia. Explicit characterization of the purchase timing is given for two representative classes of Markovian models: (i) defaultable equity models with local intensity; (ii) diffusion stochastic volatility models. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results. Our model is also applicable to the optimal rolling of long-dated options and sequential buying and selling of options.
