Vers un pluralisme juridique égalitaire ou un refoulement des ordres juridiques extra-étatiques? Une analyse du jugement Delgamuukw (1997) et de ses impacts sur la souveraineté autochtone
Creators: name: Mockler, Trevor
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2022

description: Se situant dans le cadre du pluralisme juridique, ce projet de recherche a comme objectif d’analyser la relation instable entre le droit étatique et le droit autochtone au Canada. En utilisant l’arrêt Delgamuukw (1997), qui fut un litige portant sur la revendication du titre aborigène en Colombie-Britannique, ce projet tentera d’interpréter comment les appelants de la nation Gitxsan ont utilisé certains éléments issus de leur ordre juridique, tel que adwaak, pour satisfaire aux critères de preuve exigés pour le titre aborigène. De plus, ce texte portera un regard analytique sur ces critères, exigé par la Common law canadienne, et illustrera comment ceux-ci se situent dans une logique de colonialisme d’occupation qui vise à réduire l’importance et la complexité des sociétés autochtones, tout en perpétuant le mythe que la Couronne détenait la légitimité de se déclarer souveraine.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Subjects: Energy policy -- Vermont

description: The problems of global peak oil and global climate change are unlike any yet faced by modern industrial societies: every ecosystem and social system on the planet will be impacted. The U.S. Federal government appears to have abdicated responsibility for dealing with climate change and peak oil. So called “sub-national” forces–states, regions, and cities–subsequently have tried to pick up the slack. State efforts to help citizens prepare for, mitigate against, and adapt to peak oil and climate change have varied greatly. This dissertation examines the State of Vermont, which consumes the least amount of fossil fuels and generates the least amount of greenhouse gases of any state in the country. The thesis that Vermont, the “greenest state in the country,” is not acting reliably to help its citizens prepare for, mitigate against, or adapt to peak oil and climate change was largely borne out over the course of interviews with high ranking government employees and nonprofit organizations. Despite being the “greenest state in the country,” Vermont creates, in the words of one interviewee, “a dull tool,” for dealing with problems. Except for domain consensus that climate change is a problem,

As state governments learn, shift gears, and recalibrate their activities to address the twin challenges of peak oil and climate change, it is

Actuating connections for substrusture damage identification and health monitoring
Creators: name: Chatzieleftheriou, Stavros

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Vibration-based damage detection and localization are often performed aiming to relate modal analysis’ results with appropriate metrics that express structural damages. The problem of structural damage identification is generally formulated as an inverse problem aiming to detect changes encountered on the global stiffness matrix of the structure’s model. In most cases, the measured quantities are less than the damage parameters to be identified, thus an infinite number of possible damage configurations is expected to satisfy the measurements. Therefore, damage identification problems are often proven to be ill-conditioned. In addition, as in-situ measurements are interpreted by a computer model, a number of uncertainties play an important role in the success of the identification procedure. The class of uncertainties consist of model, discretization, material and measurement errors. Furthermore, a large number of parameters need to be identified in order to assess arbitrary damage scenario and time consuming structure monitoring need to be implemented. In the majority of the developed methods the tendency is to use measurements from sensors while the vibrations are caused either by random (e.g. wind, earthquake etc.) causes or from force actuators in one or more points of the structure. In this work the implementation of actuator connections that divide a structure in several substructures is proposed. These connections can be installed on the structure during construction or retrofit. As it will be demonstrated, these connections can be controlled and excite each substructure separately and record its fundamental frequencies. In this way, each substructure can be monitored in arbitrary time while the complexity and often ill-conditioning of damage localization for large structures can be drastically reduced.

description: While epigenetic modifications have emerged as attractive substrates to integrate environmental changes into the determination of cell identity and function, specific signals that directly activate these epigenetic modifications remain unknown. Here, we examine the role of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC)-mediated Ser436 phosphorylation of CBP, a histone acetyltransferase, in adult hippocampal neurogenesis and memory. Using a knockin mouse strain (CbpS436A) in which the aPKC-CBP pathway is deficient, we observe impaired hippocampal neuronal differentiation, maturation, and memory and diminished binding of CBP to CREB in 6-month-old CbpS436A mice, but not at 3 months of age. Importantly, elevation of CREB activity rescues these deficits, and CREB activity is reduced whereas aPKC activity is increased in the murine hippocampus as they age from 3 to 6 months regardless of genotype. Thus, the aPKC-CBP pathway is a homeostatic compensatory mechanism that modulates hippocampal neurogenesis and memory in an age-dependent manner in response to reduced CREB activity.
José Martí and the global dimensions of late nineteenth-century Cuban nation building
Creators: name: Garcia, Armand
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Nation-building -- Cuba -- 19th century

description: This transnational study of the nation building efforts of the late nineteenth-century Cuban independence leader Jos Mart (1853-1895) argues that the Cuban anticolonial struggle had significant, yet overlooked global dimensions. In five chapters, it demonstrates that, in his work to free Cuba from Spain and in raising Cuban national awareness and Latin American consciousness, Mart transmitted political, ethical, and spiritual values aimed at resisting oppressive ruling systems and at building a democratic society in his biographies on U.S. luminaries and Civil War figures, primarily of Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), and in the world history narratives of his children's magazine, The Golden Years (La Edad de Oro). It also reveals that, to inspire and promote Cuban nation building, Mart employed subjects from world history such as Hindu ideas in the Bhagavad-Gita. This dissertation reconceptualizes commonly-held perceptions of the 1895 Cuban independence movement by engaging notions of gender and demonstrating that, although highly nationalistic, it transcended national and regional boundaries. The dissertation also reveals that the didactic historical writings surveyed provide a means to decipher Mart 's visions for the independent Cuba he did not live to see.; By disclosing how Mart engaged the world to promote progressive notions of race, gender, and the value of non-European cultures in an age of rising racism and "High" Imperialism, this dissertation also provides a basis for an interpretation of the patterns of globally oriented Latin American revolutions as having their genesis in the nineteenth- and not the twentieth-century. Through Mart 's "globalism," the 1895 Cuban revolution thus marks a divergence in Latin America from the Atlantic-oriented revolutions of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries (e.g. the Haitian & Sim n Bol var's uprisings in northern South America) to the globally-charged ones of the twentieth-century (e.g. the 1910s Mexican Revolution), an understanding facilitated by the global approach of this study.

description: El desarrollo de la generación altamente descentralizada es un enfoque alternativo que está aumentando el despliegue de la generación de energía renovable mediana, pequeña y micro, al tiempo que evita o minimiza la mayoría de las repercusiones medioambientales de la generación renovable a gran escala. Admitiendo la importancia que las comunidades energéticas renovables pueden tener para el logro de un desarrollo rural sostenible, en el empoderamiento de las comunidades indígenas de su propio desarrollo y la búsqueda de soluciones a los retos demográficos, resulta fundamental conocer qué factores pueden predecir o influir en la disposición de las comunidades indígenas a participar en ellas. Para el desarrollo de este análisis se plantea la siguiente ruta para la identificación de barreras y mejoras que promuevan la implementación de microrredes, especialmente en usuarios con títulos de propiedad colectiva, a través del : entendimiento del concepto, caracterización e institucionalidad de las microrredes, análisis comparado internacional de las microrredes en los territorios indígenas y la revisión de los retos de la reglamentación del sector eléctrico para las comunidades indígenas en Colombia para su implementación.
description: The development of highly decentralized generation is an alternative approach that is increasing the deployment of medium, small, and micro renewable energy generation, while avoiding or minimizing most of the environmental impacts of large-scale renewable generation. Admitting the importance that renewable energy communities can have in achieving sustainable rural development, in empowering indigenous communities in their own development and in finding solutions to demographic challenges, it is essential to know what factors can predict or influence the willingness of indigenous communities to participate in them. For the development of this analysis, the following route is proposed for the identification of barriers and improvements that promote the implementation of microgrids, especially in users with collective property titles, through: understanding of the concept, characterization and institutional framework of microgrids, international comparative analysis of microgrids in indigenous territories and the review of the challenges of the regulation of the electricity sector for indigenous communities in Colombia for their implementation.
Socioeconomic Characteristics and Depression in Canada: A Comparison between Females and Males
Creators: name: Yao, Karen
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: Mental health and economic well-being are strengthened when the causes and implications of depression are addressed. This paper uses data from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey – Mental Health component to analyze the impact of personal, work, family, and health and behaviour characteristics on the probability of being depressed. I analyze the impact on depression firstly for the whole population, followed by a comparison of the outcomes between females and males. I find that females are 5 to 7 percentage points more likely to be depressed than males, no matter the specification used. When all the characteristics are studied separately, by gender, we see that work characteristics such as low income or unemployment increases depression for males only. For females only, family characteristics such as having a child decreases depression, though being divorced, separated, or widowed instead of being married increases depression. Drug dependence increases the likelihood of being depressed for females more than males, while alcohol abuse only affects females. An Oaxaca decomposition further yields a total explained effect of zero, as well as a significant constant in the unexplained part, both of which affirm that females are more depressed than males.

description: Different from other magnetically frustrated spinel systems, GeCu$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is a strongly tetragonal distorted spinel cuprate in which edge-sharing CuO$_{2}$ ribbons are running along alternating directions perpendicular to the $c$-axis. Here, GeCu$_{2}$O$_{4}$ samples of high quality were prepared via high pressure synthesis (at 4 GPa) and the corresponding magnetic and dielectric properties were investigated. For the first time, we observed a ferroelectric polarization emerging at T$_{N}$ $\sim$ 33~K. Although the ferroelectric polarization is weak in GeCu$_{2}$O$_{4}$ ($P$ $\sim$ 0.2$μ$C/m$^{2}$), the existence of spin-induced multiferroicity provides a strong constraint on the possible ground state magnetic structures and/or the corresponding theoretical models of multiferroicity for GeCu$_{2}$O$_{4}$.

description: Embedded librarianship has become increasingly common; however, this concept has not been widely applied to other information professions. We first survey the literature on embedded librarianship as a model of service delivery with a view to identifying those criteria that are considered essential to its success. Next, we demonstrate how best practices in embedded librarianship can inspire and inform a similar practice in another sector of the information professions, namely records management. We present and evaluate a pilot project where a records manager was embedded within the quality assurance team in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Ottawa. In particular, we consider how community-building efforts contributed to the success of this project.

description: A search for new topological quantum systems is challenging due to the requirement of non{trivial band connectivity that leads to protected surface states of electrons. A progress in this field was primarily due to a realization of band inversion mechanism between even and odd parity states that was proven to be very useful in both predicting many of such systems and our understanding their topological properties. Despite many proposed materials assume the band inversion between s and p (or p/d, d/f) electrons, here, we explore a different mechanism where the occupied d states subjected to a tetrahedral crystal field produce an active t2g manifold behaving as a state with an effective orbital momentum equal to negative one, and pushing jeff = 1=2 doublet at a higher energy. Via hybridization with nearest neighbor orbitals realizable, e.g., in a zincblende structural environment, this allows a formation of odd parity state whose subsequent band inversion with an unoccupied s band becomes possible, prompting us to look for the compounds with Cu+1 ionic state. Chemical valence arguments coupled to a search in materials database lead us to systematically investigate electronic structures and topological properties of CuY (Y=F, Cl, Br, I) and CuXO (X=Li, Na, K, Rb) families of compounds. Our theoretical results show that CuF displays a behavior characteristic of an ideal Weyl semimetal with 24 Weyl nodes at the bulk Brillouin Zone. We also find that another compounds CuNaO and CuLiO are the s-d inversion type topological insulators. Results for their electronic structures and corresponding surfaces states are presented and discussed in the context of their topological properties.

The impact of deficit irrigation strategies on sweet cherry (Prunus avium L) physiology and spectral reflectance
Creators: name: Antunez-Barria, Alejandro Jose
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Sweet cherry -- Irrigation

description: Prudent irrigation management of sweet cherry trees (Prunus avium L.) requires periodic monitoring of plant water status to avoid physiological stress. In recent years, on several fruit crops, various deficit irrigation techniques have been shown to be effective for saving water resources and having little impact on yield and quality. However, to date, little research has been conducted on sweet cherry water management. The purpose of this research was to investigate the physiological response of sweet cherry to deficit irrigation strategies that varied in placement of water. Additionally, correlations between sweet cherry canopy water status and leaf spectral reflectance were investigated. Lastly, a weighing lysimeter system was designed and utilized to accurately estimate transpiration of young potted trees, in real time.

Attained general formulas for S-matrix components can be applied within both formulations in the Cartesian and curvilinear metric. A numerical method based on these results can benefit from all previous improvements of the Fourier domain methods. In addition, we provide expressions for S-matrix calculation in case of periodically corrugated layers of 2D materials, which are valid for arbitrary corrugation depth-to-period ratios. As an example the derived equations are used to simulate resonant grating excitation of graphene plasmons and an impact of silica interlayer on corresponding reflection curves.

description: Ongoing innovation is needed in energy regulatory decision-making in Canada. Important broad drivers are the evolving social and values context, the need for operational decision-making efficiency, economic and market interests, rapid technological change, and demands for communication and stakeholder engagement, as well as policy uncertainty affecting each of these. As Canadian energy regulators take action and introduce innovative processes, there are benefits, barriers, and tradeoffs. At the same time, key success factors may influence what works in innovations in Canadian energy regulatory decision-making. This study focused on quasi-judicial energy regulators and examined the following two questions: 1. How might formal policymaker-regulator interactions be strengthened while maintaining regulatory independence?; 2. What innovative mechanisms support meaningful regulatory agency public engagement processes? To answer these questions, we conducted interviews with senior executives representing regulatory and stakeholder organizations that created, implemented, use, or are affected by innovations in policymaker-regulator interactions or regulatory public engagement processes. Results may be useful to regulators in planning, implementing, or evaluating innovative practices.

description: In the natural resource literature, conventional wisdom holds that weak property rights will cause a resource to be over-exploited. This is because weak property rights are typically perceived as a problem of input exclusion. In this paper, we first present evidence to the effect that weak property rights often take the form of contestable outputs – or output theft – and that this has an impact on resource use. We then propose a theoretical model of natural resource use under generally weak property rights – or weak state presence – when resource users face the dual problem of input exclusion and output appropriation. We show that introducing the possibility that outputs can be contested acts as an output tax, with the added twist that resource users effectively determine the level of the tax. This tax has a depressive effect on input use. As a result, whether the resource is under- or over-exploited in equilibrium will depend on the relative severity of output appropriation and input exclusion problems when property rights are generally weak. / Dans la littérature sur les ressources naturelles, on associe généralement une déficience dans les droits de propriété avec une sur-exploitation de la ressource. Ceci s'explique par le fait que la déficience est surtout perçue comme une exclusion incomplète des utilisateurs de la ressource. Dans ce travail, nous présentons plusieurs cas où le problème de propriété porte tout autant sur l'appropriation des biens produits par les utilisateurs, ou le vol. Un modèle théorique est proposé dans lequel il est démontré que ce problème mène plutôt à une sous-utilisation de la ressource. Ainsi, dans les régions où les droits de propriété sont mal protégés de manière générale, souvent dû à un état faible, on doit s'attendre à ce que les deux types de problèmes coexistent. Il sera dès lors nécessaire de comparer la sévérité des deux déficiences de protection afin de déterminer si la ressource sera sur- ou sous-exploitée à l'équilibre.

description: This paper describes an analysis that justifies applying the pattern “Increased Review for Intellectual Property (IP) Theft by Departing Insiders.” The pattern helps organizations plan, prepare, and implement a strategy to mitigate the risk of insider theft of IP. The analysis shows that organizations can reduce their risk of insider theft of IP through increased review of departing insiders’ actions during a relatively small window of time prior to their departure. Preliminary research results show that approximately 70% of insider IP thieves can be caught by following the pattern’s recommendation of reviewing insiders’ actions for theft events during only the last two months of their employment. These results provide practical guidance for practitioners wishing to fine tune the application of the pattern for their organizations. “Increased Review for IP Theft by Departing Insiders” is part of the CERT(R) Insider Threat Center’s evolving library of enterprise architectural patterns for mitigating the insider threat, based on the Center’s collected data. The Center’s larger goal is to foster greater organizational resilience to insider threat, using repeated application of patterns from the library.

description: We show there is an uncountable number of parallel total perfect codes in the integer lattice graph $Λ$ of $\R^2$. In contrast, there is just one 1-perfect code in $Λ$ and one total perfect code in $Λ$ restricting to total perfect codes of rectangular grid graphs (yielding an asymmetric, Penrose, tiling of the plane). We characterize all cycle products $C_m\times C_n$ with parallel total perfect codes, and the $d$-perfect and total perfect code partitions of $Λ$ and $C_m\times C_n$, the former having as quotient graph the undirected Cayley graphs of $\Z_{2d^2+2d+1}$ with generator set $\{1,2d^2\}$. For $r>1$, generalization for 1-perfect codes is provided in the integer lattice of $\R^r$ and in the products of $r$ cycles, with partition quotient graph $K_{2r+1}$ taken as the undirected Cayley graph of $\Z_{2r+1}$ with generator set $\{1,...,r\}$.

description: Punishment and partner switching are two well-studied mechanisms that support the evolution of cooperation. Observation of human behaviour suggests that the extent to which punishment is adopted depends on the usage of alternative mechanisms, including partner switching. In this study, we investigate the combined effect of punishment and partner switching in evolutionary prisoner's dilemma games conducted on a network. In the model, agents are located on the network and participate in the prisoner's dilemma games with punishment. In addition, they can opportunistically switch interaction partners to improve their payoff. Our Monte Carlo simulation showed that a large frequency of punishers is required to suppress defectors when the frequency of partner switching is low. In contrast, cooperation is the most abundant strategy when the frequency of partner switching is high regardless of the strength of punishment. Interestingly, cooperators become abundant not because they avoid the cost of inflicting punishment and earn a larger average payoff per game but rather because they have more numerous opportunities to be referred as a role agent by defectors. Our results imply that the fluidity of social relationships has a profound effect on the adopted strategy in maintaining cooperation.

Insight and the Enlightenment: Why "Einsicht" in Chapter Six of Hegel's Phenomenology?

description: Hegel uses the term Einsicht (‘insight’) throughout several key subsections of Chapter Six of the Phenomenology of Spirit (notably in ‘Faith and Pure Insight’ and ‘The Struggle of the Enlightenment with Superstition’). Nowhere else in his work does the term enjoy such a sustained treatment. Commentators generally accept Hegel’s use of the term in the Phenomenology as simply referring to the type of counter-religious reasoning found in the French Enlightenment. I show how Hegel derives the term, through the lens of Kant’s essay, ‘What Does It Mean to Orient Oneself in Thinking?’ from the Pantheismusstreit, the philosophical debate between Mendelssohn and Jacobi about knowledge of God. The Aufklärung provenance of Einsicht shows how a deep complicity between faith and reason, in the form of immediate knowing, leads beyond the Terror to a happier outcome in the Morality section. Finally, passing reference to Einsicht in the Vorbegriff of the Encyclopaedia Logic confirms its role in the ethical and political vocation of Hegel’s Science.
Consequences of high effective Prandtl number on solar differential rotation and convective velocity

description: Observations suggest that the large-scale convective velocities obtained by solar convection simulations might be over-estimated (convective conundrum). One plausible solution to this could be the small-scale dynamo which cannot be fully resolved by global simulations. The small-scale Lorentz force suppresses the convective motions and also the turbulent mixing of entropy between upflows and downflows, leading to a large effective Prandtl number ($\Pr$). We explore this idea in three-dimensional global rotating convection simulations at different thermal conductivity ($κ$), i.e., at different $\Pr$. In agreement with previous non-rotating simulations, the convective velocity is reduced with the increase of $\Pr$ as long as the thermal conductive flux is negligible. A subadiabatic layer is formed near the base of the convection zone due to continuous deposition of low entropy plumes in low-$κ$ simulations. The most interesting result of our low-$κ$ simulations is that the convective motions are accompanied by a change in the convection structure that is increasingly influenced by small-scale plumes. These plumes tend to transport angular momentum radially inward and thus establish an anti-solar differential rotation, in striking contrast to the solar rotation profile. If such low diffusive plumes, driven by the radiative-surface cooling, are present in the Sun, then our results cast doubt on the idea that a high effective $\Pr$ may be a viable solution to the solar convective conundrum. Our study also emphasizes that any resolution of the conundrum that relies on the downward plumes must take into account angular momentum transport as well as heat transport.
