Sport Events for Sport Participation: A Scoping Review
Creators: name: Teare, Georgia
name: Taks, Marijke
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021
Subjects: impact
legacy
leverage
mega sport events
small scale sport events

description: Research on sport participation impacts from sport events has been sporadic. This scoping review assesses the current state of literature that addresses impacts, legacies, and leveraging of sport events for sport participation outcomes and the gaps in terms of study context and research designs. Two systematic approaches of article identification were performed: a traditional database search and a systematic manual search. Studies on sport participation outcomes from events mainly focused on mega sport events and adult populations, with the majority employing cross-sectional data and quantitative methods. The use theoretical of frameworks is limited and inconsistent. There is a need for longitudinal investigations, as well as more focus on youth populations, participant events, and smaller-sized events to advance the research agenda for sport participation outcomes from sport events.

description: A new scheme for color confinement in QCD due to violation of the non-Abelian Bianchi identities proposed earlier is revised. The violation of the non-Abelian Bianchi identities (VNABI) $J_μ$ is equal to Abelian-like monopole currents $k_μ$ defined by the violation of the Abelian-like Bianchi identities. VNABI satisfies $\partial_μJ_μ=0$. There are $N^2-1$ conserved magnetic charges in $SU(N)$ QCD. The charge of each component of VNABI is assumed to satisfy the Dirac quantization condition. %%%%% Each color component of the non-Abelian electric field $E^a$ is squeezed by the corresponding color component of the solenoidal current $J^a_μ$. Then only the color singlets alone can survive as a physical state and non-Abelian color confinement is realized. Numerical studies are done in the framework of $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory. We adopt an Abelian-like definition of monopole following DeGrand-Toussaint as a lattice version of VNABI. To reduce severe lattice artifacts, we introduce various techniques of smoothing the thermalized vacuum such as the maximal center gauge (MCG) fixing. We measure the density $ρ(a(β),n)=\sqrt{(k_n^1)^2+(k_n^2)^2+(k_n^3)^2}/(4\sqrt{4}Vb^3)$, where $k_n^a$ is an $n$ blocked monopole in the color direction $a$ and $b=na(β)$ is the blocked lattice spacing. Beautiful scaling behaviors are seen when we plot $ρ(a(β),n)$ versus $b=na(β)$. A single universal curve $ρ(b)$ is found from $n=1\sim 12$, which suggests that $ρ(a(β),n)$ is a function of $b=na(β)$ alone. The universal curve seems independent of a gauge fixing procedure used to smooth the lattice vacuum when the scaling is obtained. The scaling shows that the lattice definition of VNABI has the continuum limit.

description: We study nuclear effects in the $F^A_3(x)$ structure function in the deep inelastic neutrino reactions on iron by using a relativistic framework to describe the nucleon spectral functions in the nucleus. The results for the ratio $R(x,Q^2)=\frac{F^A_3(x,Q^2)}{AF^N_3(x, Q^2)}$ and the Gross-Llewellyn Smith(GLS) integral $G(x,Q^2)=\int_x^1 dx F^A_3(x,Q^2)$ in nuclei are discussed and compared with the recent results available in literature from theoretical and phenomenological analyses of experimental data.

description: We outline to the community the value of a Magellanic Clouds Survey that consists of three components: I) a complete-area, high resolution, multi-band UV-near-IR broadband survey; II) a narrowband survey in 7 key nebular filters to cover a statistically significant sample of representative HII regions and a large-area, contiguous survey of the diffuse, warm ISM; and III) a comprehensive FUV spectroscopic survey of 1300 early-type stars. The science areas enabled by such a dataset are as follows: A) assessment of massive star feedback in both HII regions and the diffuse, warm ISM; B) completion of a comprehensive study of the 30 Doradus giant extragalactic HII region (GEHR); C) development and quantitative parameterization of stellar clustering properties; D) extensive FUV studies of early-type stellar atmospheres and their energy distributions; and E) similarly extensive FUV absorption-line studies of molecular cloud structure and ISM extinction properties. These data will also allow a number of additional studies relating to the underlying stellar populations.

description: This report summarizes the results of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Interpretive Guidance Project. It summarizes and analyzes the 7500 comments received regarding CMMI adoption that were reported by CMMI users and potential users. It also describes the actions being taken by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to address the issues identified by Interpretive Guidance Project participants. Although the initial goal of the project was to develop interpretive guidance, after data gathering and analysis the team realized that most respondents' input did not require interpretive guidance. Based on a relatively small number of comments, interpretive guidance was planned, including papers, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and new CMMI courses. However, participant comments clearly showed CMMI interpretive guidance to be less of an adoption issue than suspected. Some comments covered issues already being addressed as part of SEI activities, including the development of Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) Class B and C methods, the collection of cost and benefit information, and the creation and improvement of CMMI training courses. The majority (approximately 80%) of the actionable comments received were best handled as change requests to help guide the ongoing improvement of the CMMI Product Suite.
Le visa au Canada : Une politique justifiée envers les ressortissants Mexicains?
Creators: name: Voronenko, Roksolana
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: Ce mémoire a pour objectif de mettre en lumière la notion, qu’elle soit utopique ou réalité future (Bauder, 2012), de la libre circulation mondiale ou encore celle de frontières ouvertes appliquées dans le contexte canadien. Un contrôle aussi poussé des frontières tel qu’on le connaît aujourd’hui est relativement récent dans l’histoire du monde. Les problèmes qui y sont associés, entre autres en matière d’injustices sociales, semblent disproportionnés par rapport au rôle que ces frontières ont (Anderson, Sharma, & Wright, 2009). Dans cette optique, plusieurs chercheurs abordent la possibilité d’une organisation mondiale, ou plutôt territoriale, sans frontières (Carens, 1987; Huemer, 2010; Clemens, 2011; Caplan, 2012). Les visas sont un outil efficace au contrôle de la migration et permettent aux pays de filtrer l’arrivée d’étrangers. Les ressortissants mexicains ont longtemps bénéficié d’un libre accès au Canada, mais ont connu l’exigence de visa de 2009 à 2016 sous le gouvernement conservateur, jugé nécessaire en raison de la montée exponentielle des demandes d’asile. Le blâme est porté sur une politique de réfugiée trop généreuse et des demandeurs d’asile mexicains voulant « abuser du système ». À travers notre recherche, nous tenterons d’établir si la justification de l’imposition du visa envers le Mexique est valable en apportant, entre autres, des informations sur le contexte qui entoure la montée croissante des demandeurs d’asile mexicains, ainsi qu’un retour sur les conventions auxquelles le Canada est signataire et qui ne s’alignent pas avec ladite décision de visa.

description: The rare-earth peak in the $r$-process abundance pattern depends sensitively on both the astrophysical conditions and subtle changes in nuclear structure in the region. This work takes an important step elucidating the nuclear structure and reducing the uncertainties in $r$-process calculations via precise atomic mass measurements at the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap. $^{158}$Nd, $^{160}$Pm, $^{162}$Sm, and $^{164-166}$Gd have been measured for the first time and the precisions for $^{156}$Nd, $^{158}$Pm, $^{162,163}$Eu, $^{163}$Gd, and $^{164}$Tb have been improved considerably. Nuclear structure has been probed via two-neutron separation energies $S_{2n}$ and neutron pairing energy metrics $D_n$. The data do not support the existence of a subshell closure at $N=100$. Neutron pairing has been found to be weaker than predicted by theoretical mass models. The impact on the calculated $r$-process abundances has been studied. Substantial changes resulting in a smoother abundance distribution and a better agreement with the solar $r$-process abundances are observed.

description: A two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate coupled by a high-frequency modulation field is found to display rich features. An effective stationary Hamiltonian approach reveals the emergence of additional degenerate eigenstates as well as new topological structures of the spectrum. Possible applications, such as the suppression of nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling, are discussed. An interesting phenomenon, which we call "deterministic symmetry-breaking trapping" associated with separatrix crossing, is also found in an adiabatic process.

Quality of Work Experience and Economic Development - Estimates using Canadian Immigrant Data

description: There is increasing evidence in the economic development literature that the quality of schooling considerably varies across countries that are at different stages in their economic development. However, an issue that has been overlooked is the role of the quality of work experience in explaining differences in economic development. This paper uses Canadian census data on immigrant earnings to show that per capita GDP in the country of origin can be used as a quality indicator for both education and work experience. Coefficients estimated from immigrant earnings regressions are then used to estimate the effects of difference in human capital quality on development gaps between rich and poor countries. The analysis shows that while differences in the quality of schooling account for substantial differences in living standards across countries, differences in the quality of work experience can account for even more. Policywise, our results suggest that the immediate effects of improving the quality and the quantity of schooling in less-developed countries might be rather limited if labour-market institutions and ways of doing things are not changed at the same time to improve the quality of work experience. / La littérature sur le développement économique reconnait de plus en plus que la qualité de l’éducation varie considérablement d’un pays à l’autre selon le stade de développement. Cependant, une question qui a été ignorée jusqu’à maintenant est la contribution de la qualité de l’expérience de travail à l’explication des écarts de niveaux de vie entre les pays. L’analyse présentée dans ce document utilise des données canadiennes de recensement sur les salaires des immigrants pour montrer que le PIB par habitant du pays d’origine peut être utilisé comme indicateur de qualité pour l’éducation et l’expérience de travail acquises dans ce pays. Les coefficients estimés à partir d’équations de régression des salaires des immigrants sont ainsi utilisés pour mesurer les effets de différences de qualité de capital humain sur les écarts de niveaux de vie entre les pays riches et les pays pauvres. Les résultats montrent que quoique la qualité de l’éducation soit un déterminant majeur des écarts de niveaux de vie, la qualité de l’expérience de travail est encore plus importante du point de vue quantitatif. En ce qui concerne les politiques de développement économique, les résultats de notre analyse donnent à penser que les bénéfices à court terme d’augmenter la qualité et la quantité de scolarité dans les pays pauvres sont plutôt faibles si les institutions et les façons de faire sur les marchés du travail ne sont pas en même temps changées pour améliorer la qualité de l’expérience de travail.
Detecting charge transfer at defects in 2D materials with electron ptychography

description: Electronic charge transfer at the atomic scale can reveal fundamental information about chemical bonding, but is far more challenging to directly image than the atomic structure. The charge density is dominated by the atomic nuclei, with bonding causing only a small perturbation. Thus detecting any change due to bonding requires a higher level of sensitivity than imaging structure and the overall charge density. Here we achieve the sensitivity required to detect charge transfer in both pristine and defected monolayer WS\textsubscript{2} using the high dose efficiency of electron ptychography and its ability to correct for lens aberrations. Excellent agreement is achieved with first-principles image simulations including where thermal diffuse scattering is explicitly modeled via finite-temperature molecular dynamics based on density functional theory. The focused-probe ptychography configuration we use also provides the important ability to concurrently collect the annular dark-field signal, which can be unambiguously interpreted in terms of the atomic structure and chemical identity of the atoms, independently of the charge transfer. Our results demonstrate both the power of ptychographic reconstructions and the importance of quantitatively accurate simulations to aid their interpretation.

description: The CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) Interpretive Guidance project was formed to help commercial software, information technology (IT), and information systems (IS) organizations adopt CMMI. Project members collected data to learn more about how CMMI is being accepted by these organizations. This report describes the data-collection activities and includes summaries of the data collected through August 2003. The project received both positive and negative comments that lead to some interesting and surprising observations. Overall, the positive comments greatly outnumbered the negative. Input provided by commercial software, IT, and IS organizations was similar to input from organizations from other disciplines. Organizations reported that CMMI is adequate for guiding their process improvement activities and that CMMI training courses and appraisal methods are suitable for their needs, although there are specific opportunities for improvement. Having two representations caused concern and confusion for some but was a benefit for others, so the project will investigate these comments further to see what can be done to address these concerns. The cost of CMMI is an issue that affected adoption decisions for some but not for others. Finally, return-on-investment information is usually helpful to organizations when making the business case to adopt CMMI.
Breast cancer survivors' barriers and motives for participating in a group-based physical activity program offered in the community

description: Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the barriers and motives experienced by women attending an 8-week group-based physical activity program offered in the community following treatment for breast cancer. Methods: Seven women were interviewed during the first and last week of the program. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Factors that hindered women's continued participation could be subdivided into situational barriers, which encompassed community (i.e., distance of center and traffic) and institutional factors (i.e., competing roles and responsibilities), and internal barriers, which consisted of cancer-specific limitations. Motives for initial and continued participation were situational (i.e., gaining social support, networking, and being around similar others) and internal (i.e., feeling a sense of personal fulfillment, acquiring health benefits, and recovering from cancer). Conclusions: The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of women's motives to engage in a group-based physical activity program after treatment for breast cancer. Further, they underscore the necessity of considering situational and internal barriers when developing group-based physical activity programs to increase regular participation, optimize adherence, and reduce drop-out.
Large directed flow of open charm mesons probes the three dimensional distribution of matter in heavy ion collisions

description: Thermalized matter created in non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions is expected to be tilted in the reaction plane with respect to the beam axis. The most notable consequence of this forward-backward symmetry breaking is the observation of rapidity-odd directed flow for charged particles. On the other hand, the production points for heavy quarks are forward-backward symmetric and shifted in the transverse plane with respect to the fireball. The drag of heavy quarks from the asymmetrically distributed thermalized matter generates a large directed flow for heavy flavor mesons. We predict a very large rapidity odd directed flow of $D$ mesons in non-central Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, $several$ $times$ $larger$ than for charged particles. A possible experimental observation of a large directed flow for heavy flavor mesons would represent an almost direct probe of the 3-dimensional distribution of matter in heavy-ion collisions.

description: We present a general framework for constructing trans-scale \emph{discrete Boltzmann models} (DBMs) for high-speed compressible flows ranging from continuum to transition regime. This is achieved by designing a higher-order discrete equilibrium distribution function which satisfies additional nonhydrodynamic kinetic moments. In order to characterize the \emph{% thermodynamic non-equilibrium} (TNE) effects and estimate the condition under which the DBMs at various levels should be used, two novel measures are presented: (i) the relative TNE strength, describing the relative strength of the ($N+1$)-th order TNE effects to the $N$-th order one; (ii) the TNE discrepancy between DBM simulation and relevant theoretical analysis. Whether or not the higher-order TNE effects should be taken into account in the modeling and which level of DBM should be adopted, is best described by the relative TNE intensity and/or the discrepancy, rather than by the value of the Knudsen number. As a model example, a two-dimensional DBM with $26$ discrete velocities at Burnett level is formulated, verified, and validated.

description: Organizations are increasingly looking for guidance on what it takes to implement Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) high maturity practices and how to sustain their momentum for improvement. As high maturity organizations work to improve their use of measurement and analysis, they often look to examples of successful implementations for guidance. In response to the need for clarification and guidance on implementing measurement and analysis in the context of high maturity processes, members of the SEI's Software Engineering Measurement and Analysis (SEMA) Initiative organized a workshop at the 2008 SEPG North America conference to bring leaders in the field together at a forum on the topic. Other workshops will be held as part of an ongoing series to allow high maturity organizations to share best practices and case studies
Étude de cas sur l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations et sa collaboration avec l’Association des nations d’Asie du Sud-Est en vue de limiter les déplacements de masse liés aux changements climatiques
Creators: name: Blondin, Marianne

description: À ce jour, les populations de certains États à travers le monde sont plus susceptibles d’être affectées par la dégradation de leur milieu de vie en raison des changements climatiques. Alors que les catégories de déplacés environnementaux ne bénéficient toujours pas d’une protection juridique, les populations des États insulaires subiront des conséquences significatives et irréversibles. Depuis 2007, l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations s’implique activement pour offrir son expertise aux États qui solliciteraient une assistance et une protection, suite à un désastre naturel. Cet ouvrage met en lumière son travail en partenariat avec l’Association des Nations d’Asie du Sud-Est, un des précurseurs dans la planification de politiques liées à la gestion des catastrophes et l’intervention en cas d’urgence, en vue de limiter les déplacements de masse liés aux changements climatiques. La thèse défendue dans ce mémoire suggère que l’OIM utilise son pouvoir de manière diffuse et directe pour faire valoir ses propres intérêts et ceux de ses membres, et ce, au détriment des droits humains. Je débuterai en résumant l’historique et le développement organisationnel de l’OIM. J’analyserai ensuite les principaux facteurs qui sous-tendent la croissance de l’OIM, avant de discuter sa vision entrepreneuriale envers les États d’Asie du Sud-Est, incluant le traçage et la collecte de données pour surveiller les migrants, son implication dans le débat juridique lié au statut des « réfugiés climatiques » et son omniprésence dans cette région du monde en vue de légitimer son expansion et de renforcer son pouvoir.
Economic Forecasting in Canada using the Near-Term Forward Spread
Creators: name: Soltani, Kevin
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: The slope of the term structure of interest rates has been shown to provide useful information about future economic conditions. Measures of yield spreads between long-term and short-term securities have demonstrated the ability to forecast macroeconomic variables such as output, inflation, consumption, industrial production, and future recessions. This paper extends the work of Engstrom and Sharpe (2019) to test the predictive power of the near-term forward spread for recessions, real GDP growth and inflation in Canada. In contrast to conventional long-term spreads, this novel measure developed by the authors of the study is a yield spread of a shorter time horizon that provides an alternative measure of market expectations of near-term monetary policy rates. My results show that the near-term forward spread does a better job of forecasting future Canadian recessions than two of the most commonly used yield spreads, the ten-year minus the two-year yield spread and the ten-year minus the three-month yield spread. Furthermore, the near-term forward spread is useful for forecasting real GDP growth, but does not provide any useful information about future inflation in Canada.

Energy Consumption and Economic Growth in China: Evidence from a Time Series and Vector Autoregressive Model
Creators: name: Wang, Jinxuan
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: This study investigates the causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth for China during the period between 1980 and 2015, using a multivariate framework that includes labor and capital as additional variables. A vector auto-regression model (VAR) and causality tests are employed to infer the existence and direction of the causality relationship. Based on the procedure introduced by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) and Dolado and Lutkepohl (1996), unidirectional causality is present between real GDP and energy use with both the ordinary Granger causality test and the modified Wald test (MWALD). The causality tests indicate the presence of short-term causality from energy consumption to economic growth, and the impulse response function supports the long-term causality in the same direction.
A cluster driven log-volatility factor model: a deepening on the source of the volatility clustering

description: We introduce a new factor model for log volatilities that performs dimensionality reduction and considers contributions globally through the market, and locally through cluster structure and their interactions. We do not assume a-priori the number of clusters in the data, instead using the Directed Bubble Hierarchical Tree (DBHT) algorithm to fix the number of factors. We use the factor model and a new integrated non parametric proxy to study how volatilities contribute to volatility clustering. Globally, only the market contributes to the volatility clustering. Locally for some clusters, the cluster itself contributes statistically to volatility clustering. This is significantly advantageous over other factor models, since the factors can be chosen statistically, whilst also keeping economically relevant factors. Finally, we show that the log volatility factor model explains a similar amount of memory to a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) factor model and an exploratory factor model.

description: Cocaine use has increased worldwide in recent years. However, the specific effects of smoking coca paste and its consequences on the cognitive functioning of individuals are unknown. The purposes of this study were to compare the neuropsychological functioning of a group of 163 individuals with coca-paste use disorder (CPUD) to that of a group of 162 healthy controls (HC) and to examine the relationship between cognitive performance and sociodemographic characteristics of these groups. Participants were administered a comprehensive neuropsychological battery that included tests of learning and memory, language and executive functions. Although there were no significant differences in age and educational level between the groups, individuals with CPUD had significantly lower cognitive performance on the tests of learning and memory, language and executive functions compared with HC. An interaction effect was observed between group (CPUD versus HC) and educational level in the cognitive domains of learning and memory and language, such that more years of education was associated with better performance in these domains only in the HC. Deficits in learning and memory, language and executive functions are common in individuals with CPUD. Cognitive rehabilitation programs have been shown to improve these functions in individuals with CPUD. Therefore, this study reinforces the necessity of including such programs as part of the holistic intervention plan for these individuals.

description: Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models have evolved the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) concept, established by the Capability Maturity Model for Software (SW-CMM), to a new level that enables the continued growth and expansion of the CMM concept to multiple disciplines. Like the SW-CMM, EIA/IS 731, IPD-CMM, and other process improvement models, CMMI models are tools that help organizations improve their processes. This CMMI model is designed to help organizations improve their product and service development, acquisition, and maintenance processes. Concepts covered by this model include systems engineering and software engineering as well as traditional CMM concepts such as process management and project management. Each CMMI model is designed to be used in concert with other CMMI models, making it easier for organizations to pursue enterprise-wide process improvement at their own pace. This CMMI model has a continuous representation, which focuses on measuring process improvement using capability levels. Capability levels apply to process-improvement achievement within individual process areas such as configuration management or verification.
