description: In this vignette we share our work surrounding cognitive apprenticeship as it applies to online graduate and bachelor level learning and the instructor's experiences. We also delve into the literature to underscore the affordances that applying cognitive apprenticeship can have in relationship to richer instructor pedagogy and the student experience. We assert that using cognitive apprenticeship in the design and implementation of graduate courses can help instructors more aptly engage and empower students and help cultivate a recursivity of learning through feedback, scaffolding, and instructional fading (i.e. direct to nuanced instruction). We invite you on our journey to learn more about cognitive apprenticeship as it is applied here at Werklund.
Massive gravity: nonlinear instability of the homogeneous and isotropic universe

description: We argue that all homogeneous and isotropic solutions in nonlinear massive gravity are unstable. For this purpose, we study the propagating modes on a Bianchi type--I manifold. We analyze their kinetic terms and dispersion relations as the background manifold approaches the homogeneous and isotropic limit. We show that in this limit, at least one ghost always exists and that its frequency tends to vanish for large scales, meaning that it cannot be integrated out from the low energy effective theory. This ghost mode is interpreted as a leading nonlinear perturbation around a homogeneous and isotropic background.

Through peace, friendship, and respect : University hosted outreach programs for Aboriginal students in the k-12 system
Creators: name: Rayner, Allyson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In 2010, UBC had six outreach programs for Aboriginal students at the elementary and high school levels, three of which have been included in this research study. A total of seven staff from these three programs were interviewed. Of these seven, three were full time program staff, three were PhD students in addition to being program staff, and one was a faculty member; four were Aboriginal, and three were not. The interview transcripts were thematically analyzed to understand: why outreach programs are offered at UBC; how their philosophical frameworks are conceptualized; and what the drawbacks and benefits of these program are. This study is rooted in an Indigenous Knowledge framework, and draws upon the Guswentha treaty to help assay concepts which are typically relegated to critical theory frameworks, such as social justice, systemic change, and educational inequities. The Guswentha treaty redirects conversations of justice to relationships of respect, peace, and friendship. The analysis of the interviews shows that the outreach programs are said to exist at UBC in order to introduce more Aboriginal students to post-secondary schooling, to get more Aboriginal students enrolling in post-secondary schooling, to create more space at UBC for Aboriginal students, and to improve the health of Aboriginal people and communities. As well, these programs were said to exist due to the work of a few dedicated people. The philosophical frameworks of these programs are discussed using a wholistic framework, at the level of both the individual students and the larger university institution. The student is: physically supported through such amenities as scholarships and nutritious food; emotionally supported by stimulating an excitement for learning; and intellectually supported by providing access to superior science learning. The institution is: physically affected through the physical presence of more Aboriginal students; emotionally affected by more connections being made between faculty volunteers and the visiting students; and intellectually affected through the professional development of the faculty volunteers. The spiritual realm of both the student and the university was underserved.

description: This paper argues that repeatable timing is more important and more achievable than predictable timing. It describes microarchitecture approaches to pipelining and memory hierarchy that deliver repeatable timing and promise comparable or better performance compared to established techniques. Specifically, threads are interleaved in a pipeline to eliminate pipeline hazards, and a hierarchical memory architecture is outlined that hides memory latencies.
Birch pollen are associated with potentially allergenic basidiomycetes
Creators: name: Gorfer, Markus
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Birch pollen cause severe allergy outbreaks in early spring, mainly caused by the major allergen Bet v 1. It is, however, becoming more and more clear that the environment can modulate the allergenicity of pollen. We have investigated the microbiome associated with birch catkins and pollen to elucidate potential microbial contributions to birch pollen allergies. The fungal community in the pollen fraction was dominated by Basidiomycota, especially by the genera Wallemia, Trametes and Irpex. Little is known whether these fungi can cause allergic reactions in sensitized patients. Protein extracts from representative isolates were therefore tested for their allergenicity. Strongly IgE immunoreactive bands were detected for all three taxa. Protein identification by mass spectrometry could identify amongst others enolases in Trametes versicolor and Irpex lacteus. Heterologous expression of both enolases in E. coli could confirm strong reactivity with sera from patients with known fungal allergies, and cross-reactivity with anti-Alt a 6 rabbit serum. Given the widely observed prevalence of basidiospores in aerosols and the association of certain basidiomycetes with highly allergenic pollen, further research is needed to fully understand the contribution of basidiomycetes to allergies. Basidiospores are small in diameter and can therefore reach the lower respiratory tract, unlike pollen or the big spores from Alternaria.

description: Simulations predict that galaxies grow primarily through the accretion of gas that has not gone through an accretion shock near the virial radius and that this cold gas flows towards the central galaxy along dense filaments and streams. There is, however, little observational evidence for the existence of these cold flows. We use a large, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulation that has been post-processed with radiative transfer to study the contribution of cold flows to the observed z=3 column density distribution of neutral hydrogen, which our simulation reproduces. We find that nearly all of the HI absorption arises in gas that has remained colder than 10^5.5 K, at least while it was extragalactic. In addition, the majority of the HI is rapidly falling towards a nearby galaxy, with non-negligible contributions from outflowing and static gas. Above a column density of N_HI = 10^17 cm^-2, most of the absorbers reside inside haloes, but the interstellar medium only dominates for N_HI > 10^21 cm^-2. Haloes with total mass below 10^10 Msun dominate the absorption for 10^17 10^17 cm^-2 are closely related to star formation: most of their HI either will become part of the interstellar medium before z=2 or has been ejected from a galaxy at z>3. Cold accretion flows are critical for the success of our simulation in reproducing the observed rate of incidence of damped Lyman-alpha and particularly that of Lyman limit systems. We therefore conclude that cold accretion flows exist and have already been detected in the form of high column density HI absorbers.

description: The similar cosmological abundances observed for visible and dark matter suggest a common origin for both. By viewing the dark matter density as a dark-sector asymmetry, mirroring the situation in the visible sector, we show that the visible and dark matter asymmetries may have arisen simultaneously through a first-order phase transition in the early universe. The dark asymmetry can then be equal and opposite to the usual visible matter asymmetry, leading to a universe that is symmetric with respect to a generalised baryon number. We present both a general structure, and a precisely defined example of a viable model of this type. In that example, the dark matter is atomic as well as asymmetric, and various cosmological and astrophysical constraints are derived. Testable consequences for colliders include a Z' boson that couples through the B-L charge to the visible sector, but also decays invisibly to dark sector particles. The additional scalar particles in the theory can mix with the standard Higgs boson and provide other striking signatures.

description: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, but its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Mast cells (MCs) may play a critical role in the development of FD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of MCs on barrier function, tight junction (TJ) proteins and related signaling pathways. The expression of the TJ proteins claudin-8, ZO-1 and occludin in biopsy tissues from seven FD patients and five controls was assessed. Based on the in vivo results, we further investigated the effect of (1) MC degranulation in a coculture model of Caco-2/RBL-2H3 cells and tryptase in Caco-2 monolayers, (2) MC degranulation in the presence or absence of a PAR-2 antagonist and (3) MC degranulation in the presence or absence of an ERK1/2 signaling pathway inhibitor. The epithelial integrity of Caco-2 cell monolayers was assessed by measuring the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). The expression of TJ proteins was evaluated by western blotting, QT-PCR and immunostaining. Epithelial claudin-8, ZO-1 and occludin protein expression were significantly reduced in tissues from FD patients compared with controls. MC degranulation and tryptase decreased the TEER and reduced the expression of TJ proteins in Caco-2 cell monolayers. A PAR-2 antagonist and an ERK1/2 signaling pathway inhibitor significantly reduced the effect of MC degranulation on the TEER and TJ protein expression in Caco-2 cell monolayers. MCs disrupt duodenal barrier function by modulating the levels of TJ proteins, and the PAR-2 and ERK1/2 signaling pathways may mediate the pathogenesis of FD.

description: In the present work it will be shown how the curvature of the outer cylinder affects Laser Doppler anemometry measurements inside a Taylor-Couette apparatus. The measurement position and the measured velocity are altered by curved surfaces. Conventional methods for curvature correction are not applicable to our setup, and it will be shown how a ray-tracer can be used to solve this complication. By using a ray-tracer the focal position can be calculated, and the velocity can be corrected. The results of the ray-tracer are verified by measuring an a priori known velocity field, and after applying refractive corrections good agreement with theoretical predictions are found. The methods described in this paper are applied to measure the azimuthal velocity profiles in high Reynolds number Taylor-Couette flow for the case of outer cylinder rotation.
Devaluation with Contract Redenomination in Argentina

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Economics

description: This study offers the first empirical microeconomic analysis of the effectiveness of dollar debt and contract redenomination policies to mitigate adverse financial and relative price consequences from a large devaluation. An analysis of Argentina's policy of devaluation with redenomination in 2002, in contrast to Mexico's policy of devaluation without debt redenomination in 1994-1995, shows that devaluation benefited tradables firms, and that dollar debt redenomination in Argentina benefited high-dollar debtors, as shown in these firms' investment behavior, especially non-tradables firms whose revenues in dollar terms were adversely affected by devaluation. That investment behavior contrasts with the experience of Mexican firms in the aftermath of Mexico's large devaluation, in which non-tradables producers with high dollar debt displayed significant relative reductions in investment. Stock return reactions to Argentine debt redenomination indicate large, positive, unanticipated effects on high-dollar debtors from debt redenomination. Energy concession contract redenomination likewise increased investment by high energy users in Argentina, and that benefit was apparent also in positive stock returns of those firms.

description: The position of a reaction front, propagating into a metastable state, fluctuates because of the shot noise of reactions and diffusion. A recent theory [B. Meerson, P.V. Sasorov, and Y. Kaplan, Phys. Rev. E 84, 011147 (2011)] gave a closed analytic expression for the front diffusion coefficient in the weak noise limit. Here we test this theory in stochastic simulations involving reacting and diffusing particles on a one-dimensional lattice. We also investigate a small noise-induced systematic shift of the front velocity compared to the prediction from the spatially continuous deterministic reaction-diffusion equation.

Antimicrobial Resistance

description: Scoping Review
description: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is a gram negative rod-shaped bacteria which is found in the intestines of people, animals and in the environment. E.coli is also found in food and untreated water. Antimicrobial use in animal production against bacteria such as E. coli is essential for maintaining animal health. However, increased antimicrobial use poses the risk of contributing to the problem of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microorganisms selectively develop mechanisms to protect themselves from the effects of antimicrobial compounds. Antimicrobial resistance is a One Health concern as it impacts animal, human and ecosystem health. In North America, the term cow-calf production refers to cattle raised exclusively or largely on pasture, having a grass- or hay-based diet, and which may consume a low amount of concentrate diet, producing an annual crop of calves. The calves are intended for beef production and are usually backgrounded on pasture or backgrounding lots and then finished with a high concentrate diet in feedlots. Although this literature review is not restricted to North America, information retrieved will be discussed in relation to cow-calf operations in North America. For the purpose of this scoping review, the term “environment” will refer to environmental features such as: manure, wildlife, soil, insects, and water sources. By including these search terms, the scoping review will identify environmental reservoirs that have been shown to impact the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli in cow-calf operations. Our aim is to conduct a scoping review of the evidence regarding the role of the environment in the transmission and maintenance of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli within cow-calf operations. This study will identify gaps in knowledge regarding the reservoirs and transmission of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli in cow-calf operations (2). Because the mechanisms of maintenance and transmission of antimicrobial resistance in the environment are obscure, this scoping review will aid in determining the quantity and nature of information that presently exists in this field, and aid in identifying directions for future research (3). The review will be conducted between July 1, 2021 and August 31, 2021.

description: This report serves three purposes: to record my observations and impressions from being in Tokyo before and after the March 11 earthquake; to summarize trips to Kobe and across Honshu to the Japan Sea coastal area; and to provide some thoughts as further information became available during April. Japan now faces its worst crisis since World War II. The earthquake quickly became a triple disaster. The immense tsunami generated by the earthquake hit the Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefecture coastlines with great devastation and loss of more than 22,000 lives. The tsunami also crippled the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, creating potential radiation threats and global repercussions for energy policy. Many of the effects of the triple disaster are long-lasting, and the flow of new, important information requires a continual revision of our understanding. This is particularly true regarding the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant and electricity shortages, as well as development of energy policy. Accordingly, early May is my cut-off date for new information.

description: We investigate the constraints on the scalar, vector and spin-3/2 dark matter interaction with the standard model particles, from the observations of dark matter relic density, the direct detection experiments of CDMS and XENON, and the indirect detection of the antiproton-to-proton ratio by PAMELA. A model independent way is adopted by constructing general 4-particle operators up to dimension 6 for the effective interaction between dark matter and standard model particles. We find that the constraints from different experiments are complementary with each other. Comparison among these constraints may exclude some effective models of dark matter and limit some parameters of others. The spin-independent direct detection gives strong constraints for some operators, while the indirect detection of antiproton-to-proton data can be more sensitive than direct detection or relic density for light dark matter (whose mass less than 70 GeV) in some cases. The constraints on some operators for spin-3/2 dark matter are shown to be similar to those on their analogous operators for Dirac fermionic dark matter. There are still some operators not sensitive to the current dark matter direct and indirect search experiments.

description: This paper focuses on the interrelationship between two European ‘crises’: the ‘refugee crisis’ and the crisis of the principle of the rule of law. The two crises find their point of connection in the responses to migratory flows put in place by the EU and some of its Member States. The migratory pressure against European external borders has induced some governments to adopt a restrictive and security-driven approach, carried out, on the one hand, by reinforcing border controls and, on the other, by seeking the cooperation of non-EU countries in order to contain departures and to tackle movements of migrants towards Europe. These ‘securitization’ and ‘externalization’ strategies are in contrast with the principle of the rule of law from perspectives: they violate some of its essential components, such as transparency, legal-procedural certainty, democratic participation and control; and they breach the same principle insofar as they lead to severe human rights violations.

Abstract: Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic upended our lives. We were forced to abruptly transition our research, our teaching, and even our scientific gatherings to a virtual format. This transition showed the need for new technologies, it revealed inequalities and suggested opportunities. Today, even as universities start to tentatively open up for in-person activities, the future remains uncertain. This Panel addresses the important questions: What will the future look like? What will be the long-term effect on research, publications, teaching and learning, and gatherings of the scientific community? How can we guide this change towards creating a better future? The panelists will take a deep dive on the consequences and opportunities of this virtual shift, as well as discuss strategies and new technologies that were developed during this year.

description: Throughout the First World War, there were significant new developments in the Commonwealth government taking on the responsibility of raising loans for the majority of the states. Australia also continued to raise loans on the London Money Markets as it had been doing since the 1870s. However, the exigencies of war meant that the Imperial government actually raised an Empire-wide loan, from which it loaned money to Australia at the same rates of interests as it was paying. As the war progressed and finance became ever more scarce the British government became increasingly critical of the vast sums of money that the Australian states and also the Commonwealth were spending on lavish public works. This led to the British suggestion that both the Commonwealth and New South Wales governments raise loans in the United States. Arguments drawing upon the ties of the British World were employed successfully to persuade the Imperial government to continue facilitating war finance for Australia as it had been doing since the outbreak of war.

Growing vegetables in Metro Vancouver : an urban farming census
Creators: name: Schutzbank, Marc Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Increasing food insecurity, lack of sustainable food systems, and a desire to participate in the food system are prompting the growth of various forms of urban agriculture: community gardens, urban homesteads, and urban farms. Urban farms, as distinct from other urban agriculture projects, are defined by the sale of their product. They raise produce and grow ornamentals to sell in neighbourhoods, all while building urban food networks that connect communities to their food. Resilient localized food production systems must be economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable to succeed in a changing environment. Research on urban agriculture has largely focused on community gardens and their social benefits, leaving little known about entrepreneurial urban farms. This study examines the business models and economics of Metro Vancouver’s urban farms through a newly developed tool, the ‘Urban Farming Census.’ The use of this semi-structured interview tool revealed revenues, costs, financing, and sales models of urban farmers as well as their community connections and benefits. The Urban Farming Census was applied during the 2010 and 2011 growing seasons, capturing the first attempts by Vancouver’s urban farming organizations growing sustainable businesses. In 2010, eight urban farms produced $128,000 worth of produce on 2.31 acres, supporting 17 paid employees. In 2011, ten urban farms sold $170,000 worth of produce on 4.19 acres, supporting 30 paid employees. Urban farms do more than sell produce; they educate their communities about food production and provide space for individuals and communities to explore their intergenerational, multicultural food cultures.

Spin-transfer torque and spin-polarization in topological-insulator/ferromagnet vertical heterostructures

description: We predict an unconventional spin-transfer torque (STT) acting on the magnetization of a free ferromagnetic (F) layer within N/TI/F vertical heterostructures which originates from strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI), as well as from charge current becoming spin-polarized in the direction of transport as it flows from the normal metal (N) across the bulk of the TI slab. Unlike conventional STT in symmetric F'/I/F magnetic tunnel junctions, where only the in-plane STT component is non-zero in the linear response, both the in-plane and perpendicular torque are sizable in N/TI/F junctions while not requiring fixed F' layer as spin-polarizer which is advantageous for spintronic applications. Using the nonequilibrium Born-Oppenheimer treatment of interaction between fast conduction electrons and slow magnetization, we derive a general Keldysh Green function-based STT formula which makes it possible to analyze torque in the presence of SOC either in the bulk or at the interface of the free F layer.

description: French post-war society had to face the consequences of a mass death experienced on an unprecedented scale. Reintegrating the demobilized soldiers into civil society also constituted a major challenge in the immediate context of the post-war economic reconversion, which resulted in the birth of an original mass movement, the veterans’ movement. Beyond the return of the men, dismantling the wartime representations which had pervaded the whole society proved a long process which would not end until the mid-twenties.

Growth, Openness and the Socially Disadvantaged

Subjects: Economics

description: We offer a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of poverty by social groups in India since 1983 and study the impact of growth and openness on the headcount ratio. We show that at the national level poverty has declined with every successive quinquennial survey in both rural and urban areas for the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and the non-Scheduled (NS) population. We conclude that there is no statistically significant evidence whatsoever that rising per-capita incomes and increased openness have hurt any of the three broad social groups. Beyond this bottom line, we find that per-capita income has a negative and statistically significant effect on poverty levels for the SC, non-Scheduled groups and all groups taken together. The effect on poverty levels for the SC is negative but statistically insignificant. We also find the effect of one or more measures of openness on poverty reduction to be positive and statistically significant in rural and urban areas and in both regions taken together for the SC and non-Scheduled groups, although for the ST the effect is statistically significant in urban areas only.

description: This essay traces the experience on the plural home fronts of the Habsburg Empire. With a primary focus on the imperial city, Vienna, it also offers glimpses into the conditions in Hungary and the Czechlands. Preexisting political, national and class tensions were exacerbated by food and material shortages. In particular the perceived inequality of food distribution was a central source of strife between Austria and Hungary. Riots and strikes broke out as civilians began to wage battle among themselves behind the front lines. The key political actors in this context were women and children. By 1918, many civilians had lost confidence in the state’s ability to meet the basic needs of the population.
