Shades of intolerance: the influence of terrorism on discriminatory attitudes and behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada
Creators: name: Baker, Chuck
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Terrorism has been shown to have a destabilizing impact upon the citizens of the nation-state in which it occurs, causing social distress, fear, and the desire for retribution (Cesari, 2010; Chebel d’Appollonia, 2012). Much of the recent work on 21st century terrorism carried out in the global north has placed the focus on terrorism being perpetuated by Middle East Muslims. In addition, recent migration trends show that the global north is becoming much more diverse as the highly populated global south migrates upward. Population growth in the global north is primarily due to increases in the minority presence, and these post-1960 changes have increased the diversity of historically more homogeneous nations like the United Kingdom and Canada. This research examines the influence of terrorism on discriminatory attitudes and behaviors, with a focus on the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks in London. Competing theoretical explanations for the increase in discrimination were tested, including Nationalism theory, Authoritarianism theory, and Integrated Threat theory. Using various international social surveys and a difference-in-differences statistical strategy, this study compares trends in attitudes and behaviors in the United Kingdom to those in Canada, a politically and socially similar nation-state that (at the time of this study) had not experienced a major terrorist attack. Hate crimes data is also used to analyze discriminatory behaviors. The empirical findings suggest there was a rise in Islamophobia and racism in the United Kingdom against visible minorities in the aftermath of the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks. Difference-in-differences modeling shows that while Authoritarianism offers important theoretical insights on the motivation of terrorism on authoritarian attitudes in Canada; Nationalism theory, in the form of ethnic nationalism, is an important influence on discriminatory attitudes and behaviors in the UK. Findings also suggest that Nationalism theory is the most likely basis for the observed increases in discrimination in the UK.

description: Climate change is altering the nature and condition of vast areas in the boreal forest of Canada. There are great uncertainties concerning impacts on the forest, along with how policy and economic responses will translate effectively between local and macroscales. In particular, planting tree seedlings with improved characteristics following harvesting is one localized response strategy considered essential by policymakers. However, planting costs limit the macroscale adoption of this strategy which may result in trade-offs between profitability and reducing vulnerability. In this study, we developed a decision support tool (called Q3) that links stand-level decision making to the macroscale and applied this model to investigate the financial attractiveness of planting improved stocks under one climate change threat, drought-induced seedling mortality. Using several scenarios describing planting effort, improved yields and risk to drought-induced seedling mortality, we showed that adopting improved planting stock strategies across a macroscale (i.e., the western Boreal forest of Canada) can be financially attractive when considering stand-establishment constraints and drought risk. In particular, a proactive approach can be less costly than a reactive approach to drought-induced seedling mortality. To maximize profits, the forestry industry would need to prioritize younger stands closer to processing mills that had a smaller percentage of conifer growing stocks prior to harvest. This research improves the linkages between macroscale policies and forest management activities critical for recommending future development paths that the forestry industry could follow to decrease climate change vulnerabilities.

description: En République dominicaine, au-delà des palmiers, du soleil brûlant de la Caraïbe et des plages de sable blanc se cache dans l’obscurité des bateyes construits en périphérie des grandes et riches compagnies sucrières une réalité sociale que peu connaissent pour des raisons évidentes. Les retombées de la migration haïtienne en République dominicaine ont, à plusieurs reprises, été condamnées par la communauté internationale, notamment par les organisations non-gouvernementales qui œuvrent pour la protection des droits humains. En dépit du fait qu’il y a entre Haïti et la République dominicaine une histoire coloniale qui jusqu’à présent se manifeste explicitement dans l’administration politique, la culture et la composition ethnique des deux pays, la société dominicaine s’est toujours considérée à part, distincte de la société haïtienne. À la base de toute différentiation politique, culturelle et ethnique, c’est une question de nation et de nationalisme qui se pose; l’émergence de toute nation étant conditionnelle à sa singularité et à une adhésion collective à cette singularité. Pour mettre à l’épreuve cette perspective théorique et pour évaluer l’incidence de la migration haïtienne sur le processus de définition identitaire de la République dominicaine, nous avons effectué une analyse critique de discours à partir de documents législatifs, littéraires et scolaires. Ce que nous avons pu découvrir dans notre interprétation qualitative, c’est que le conservatisme institutionnel et l’évangélisation de l’identité nationale dominicaine au niveau discursif maintiennent la République dominicaine dans un état permanent d’incertitude identitaire, l’empêchant d’accéder pleinement au statut de nation.

description: Lexicology is the study of the meanings and uses of words. It is also the title of this collection of short fiction, submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. The stories in this collection are interested in that which cannot be communicated, in the shortcomings of language to express certain singular experiences and emotions, and in the moment where language’s ordered grammars fold to the disorder of our lives. This collection also examines alternative languages—the languages of blood, of fruit—as well as alternatives to language—anger, silence, death. How does language function and fail? How are lives shaped by its functions and lived despite its failures? The seven stories in this collection aim to address these questions.

description: Despite the general acceptance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the gold standard for diagnostics of traumatic disco-ligamentous injuries in the subaxial cervical spine, clinical experience shows cases where no lesion is detected in MRI exams but obtained during surgery. The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative site inspection to preoperative imaging findings and to identify radiological features of patients having a risk for under- or over-estimating disco-ligamentous lesions. We performed a retrospective analysis of our clinical database, considering all patients who underwent surgical treatment of the cervical spine via an anterior approach after trauma between June 2008 and April 2018. Only patients with availability of immediate preoperative computed tomography (CT), 3-Tesla MRI scans, and information about intraoperative findings were considered. Results of preoperative imaging were set in context to intraoperative findings, and receiver operator characteristics (ROC) were calculated. Out of 144 patients receiving anterior cervical surgery after trauma, 83 patients (mean age: 59.4 ± 20.5 years, age range: 12–94 years, 63.9% males) were included in this study. Included patients underwent surgical treatment via anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF; 79 patients) or anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (4 patients) with ventral plating. Comparing preoperative imaging findings to intraoperative site inspection, a discrepancy between imaging and surgical findings was revealed in 14 patients, leading to an overall specificity/sensitivity of preoperative imaging to identify disco-ligamentous lesions of the cervical spine of 100%/77.4%. Yet, adding the existence of prevertebral hematoma and/or vertebral fractures according to preoperative imaging improved the sensitivity to 95.2%. Lack of sensitivity was most likely related to severe cervical spondylosis, rendering correct radiological reporting difficult. Thus, the risk of missing a traumatic disco-ligamentous injury of the cervical spine in imaging seems to be a particular threat in patients with preexisting degenerative cervical spondylosis. In conclusion, incorporating the existence of prevertebral hematoma and/or vertebral fractures can significantly improve diagnostic yield.

description: In this thesis a process for the realization of microfluidic and micromechanic functional surface structures on CVD-diamond is developed. The concept is based on a CVD silicon oxide sacrificial layer, limited to a maximum thickness of ca. 5 µm due to thermal stress, which builds up during the diamond growth process. After the sacrificial structures have been overgrown, they are removed in an HF based wet etch step. To demonstrate the working principle, electromechanical (bimetallic actuator, membrane) and fluidic (channels, passive valves) functional elements are combined to form a membrane micropump with membrane features of 500 x 500 µm2 at a membrane thickness of approx. 2 µm. Fluidic and thermomechanic simulations where used to find the optimal geometric parameters for diffusor/nozzle efficiency and membrane deflection. Due to limitations of the structures height (oxide sacrificial layer), the throughput of the system is beyond practical measures. Therefore, first experiments on the introduction of alternative metal based sacrifical structures (plated copper) without mayor limitations in height are undertaken. Also, as an alternative to monolithic fabrication, a two component hybrid process with a fluid plate and a membrane plate is introduced.

description: The present study investigated the extent to which the concepts of the individual tendency to trust in (automated) technology, technology self-efficacy, accepting/fearing artificial intelligence and trust in AI overlap. This research question is of relevance because trust in automation literature is rich, whereas only a few studies exist in the context of studying attitudes towards AI (and their relationship with trust in AI). To close this gap in the literature, 289 participants completed three questionnaires related to the propensity to trust in automated technology, technology self-efficacy, and attitudes towards artificial intelligence (ATAI). Notably, the ATAI scale includes a single item assessing trust in AI. Results revealed robust positive correlations between the propensity to trust in (automated) technology, technology self-efficacy and ATAI's acceptance scale (including a positive association on single item level regarding trusting AI). Regarding the ATAI's fear scale, negative correlations with trust in automated technology and technology self-efficacy were observed. Mediation models are also reported in this study. Our work shows that the construct of trust in automated technology and attitudes towards AI (including the AI trust item) overlap small to moderate (in terms of effect sizes). This means that some of the existing research insights in the domain of the propensity to trust in automation might be transferred to the psychological foundation of attitudes and the interaction with artificial intelligence. However, it is also clear that considerable non-shared (unique) variance exists between the constructs, making it necessary to further understand how positive and negative attitudes towards AI are formed.
“Maternal Melancholia”: Reading Diasporic Asian Canadian Motherwork in the Fictions of Kerri Sakamoto, Hiromi Goto, and Madeleine Thien

description: What does it mean for an immigrant to be a “good” mother? Asian immigrants in Canada experience pressures to assimilate to a “normal,” homogenous ideal of Canadian culture—to erase aspects of their own cultural identity as well as their diasporic history. Asian mothers specifically are subject to mothering ideologies that depict white, middle-class, happy mothers as the norm. This thesis examines literary depictions of this phenomenon in novels by Kerri Sakamoto, Hiromi Goto, and Madeleine Thien. Each of these authors offers representations of motherhood that counter racialized and gendered ideals of mothering, and that refuse to ignore the sometimes traumatic effects that diaspora can have on immigrant families. Through David Eng and Shinhee Han’s notion of “racial melancholia”, I argue that the mothers in these novels conduct “maternal melancholia,” a form of motherwork that subverts dominant ideologies of mothering, resists assimilation, and sustains losses incurred through racialization and diaspora.

description: We study strong exceptional collections of line bundles on Fano toric Deligne-Mumford stacks $mathbb{P}_{mathbf{Sigma}}$. We prove that when the rank of Picard group is no more than two, any strong exceptional collection of line bundles generates the derived category of $mathbb{P}_{mathbf{Sigma}}$, as long as the number of elements in the collection equals the rank of the (Grothendieck) $K$-theory group of $mathbb{P}_{mathbf{Sigma}}$.Moreover, we consider generalized Hirzebruch surfaces $mathbb{F}_{alpha,n}$ which are not Fano and have Picard rank two. We give a classification of all (strong) exceptional collections of line bundles of maximum length and show they generate the derived category, which is a generalization for the results of Hirzebruch surfaces. We show that any exceptional collections of line bundles on $mathbb{F}_{alpha,n}$ can be extend to maximum length $2(alpha+1)$ which is the rank of $K$-theory.We give examples of strong exceptional collections of line bundles on $mathbb{F}_{alpha,n}$ which cannot be extended to strong exceptional collections of line bundles of length $2(alpha+1)$, but can be extend to exceptional collections of line bundles of maximum length $2(alpha+1)$.
Tuning molecular separation to improve detection sensitivity in solution-based assays

description: Metal nanoparticles have unique physical and optical properties stemming from theirnanoscale dimensions, inducing strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), whichlead them to find extensive applications in chemi-sensors and biosensors. By concentratingthe incident electromagnetic (EM) field near the nanostructure, LSPR modes can enhance thelocal scattered EM field and affect optical processes such as Raman scattering andfluorescence, giving rise to the so-called surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) andplasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF). Because they both depend on the distance between thereporting molecules and the nanoparticles but at different regimes, SERS and PEF becomedominant separately and can be thus leveraged to design orthogonal transduction mechanisms.In this thesis, the detection sensitivity in solution-based assays enabled by portable SERS andmolecular beacon-based fluorescence are improved by keeping the molecules close to orproperly away from the surface of the nanoparticles.For the first part, opioid drug molecules are attracted to the surface of silver nanoparticles andtrapped in the “hot spots” to achieve SERS enhancement through aggregation induced by saltaddition. Salting optimization and aggregation dynamics analysis are carried out forimproving drug detection. NaBr solution is chosen as the aggregation inducing salt at theiiioptimal concentration of 1 M with 3 minutes time window for detection. The improved assaysupports a LOD of ~5 ng/mL for fentanyl spiked in urine controls and a LOD of ~0.1 % (10ng in 10 µg total) mass percent for fentanyl in laced recreational drugs such as heroin or THC,which surpasses the results achieved in comparable previous reports.For the second part, fluorophores in molecular beacons (MBs) are pushed away from thesurface of gold nanoparticles via hybridization of the beacons with nucleic-acid strand targets,but still kept at a well-known distance which depends on the length of the MBs, thusfacilitating PEF and generating enhanced fluorescence signals. A single strand DNA with tenthymine groups (T10) is also implemented as a spacer to assist the stretching process of MBsvia reduction of steric hindrance. Functionalization of MBs on the surface of goldnanoparticles is performed along with the optimization of reaction conditions. Based on thefluorescence enhancement, the proper molar ratio of MBs/ T10-to-gold nanoparticles is 1000/1for a relatively strong and stable signals enhancement. And the ratio of MBs-to-T10 within therange of 3~5 has relatively less influence on the result. Calibration curves for the MBs goldnanoparticles sensor are generated under different concentrations of nucleic-acid strandtargets, indicating a LOD of ~10 nM for room temperature detection and a LOD of ~20 nM at37.5 ℃

description: Adiposity has been linked to impaired respiratory function in adults but whether the distribution of adipose tissue has a differential effect on pulmonary function is still uncertain. Moreover, in children, the relationship between adiposity and lung dysfunction is not clearly understood. A two-stage multivariate analysis was conducted using data from 5604 Canadians aged 6 to 79 years who participated in the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). The associations of various anthropometric and skinfold measures with lung function were examined separately in adults and children. After adjustment of covariates, waist circumference and subscapular skinfold thickness showed the strongest inverse associations with FVC and FEV1 in men. In women, BMI and sum of five skinfolds had the largest impact on pulmonary function. FVC and FEV1 in boys were most affected by waist-to-hip ratio and triceps skinfold. In girls, adiposity was not linked to the lung function testing variables. Adiposity measures have differing effects on respiratory function depending on age and sex group.
Picocyanobacteria in oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes: Variables affecting their abundance and analysis by flow cytometry.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: Picocyanobacteria (PC) are microscopic blue green algae responsible for a tenth of the total primary production of marine and freshwater systems. In this research, the ecology of temperate lake PC populations and their flow cytometry signatures were studied. In the first chapter, I examined the relative importance of growth versus losses of picocyanobacteria (PC) and the influence of physical and chemical variables on their in situ abundance in 48 temperate freshwater lakes. Growth and loss rates of PC were estimated from in situ incubations using a selective metabolic inhibitor technique and abundance of PC was determined by epifluorescence microscopy. In the second chapter, I examined the use of flow cytometry to identify PC and determine their abundance in lake water samples. The background noise appears higher in lake samples than marine ones. The source of this noise needs to be identified and corrected in future studies. However, flow cytometry is a promising tool for examining pigment distributions and for rapid assessments of the phytoplanktonic community. Epifluorescence remains the most reliable technique to determine PC abundance and pigment composition in freshwater lakes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Five study guides prepared for two productions of I, Claudia by Kristen Thomson will serve as a case study to determine the nature and orientations of the tools provided by theatre companies to pedagogues, who in turn teach students how to understand and read theatrical performance. More specifically, this case study will seek to explain how processes typical of “cultural mediation” help students accumulate what Pierre Bourdieu names “cultural” or “social capitals”, both necessary when training future citizens. This thesis will thus serve as a first critique of the workings, strengths and failings of a sociological mechanism typical of English Canadian theatre designed to help teachers mediate theatre and create more informed audience members.

description: As far as the feeling of quietness and peace that they often convey, archives, museums and libraries also hide dangers that you may not imagine, either for visitors or especially for the members of the staff. Indeed the poor microclimatic conditions – often the consequences of materials and construction or building technologies that appear definitely obsolete – often arouse suspicion and worry among the staff. Wrong Thermo hygrometric parameters, the presence of volatile organic elements, mineral fibers, biocides, radon gas, aerial dispersive molecules, are among others some of the chemical physical polluters of major influence that may contribute to giving life to the so-called Sick Building Syndrome. But such spaces also bear biological polluters that can provoke pathologies of various types and importance, among which the feared Illness of Legionnaire. The presence of electromagnetic fields, but above all wrong lighting and wrong ergonomic working positions represent some risk factors for members of staff and visitors.

description: Much of our knowledge of galaxies comes from analysing the radiation emitted by their stars, which depends on the present number of each type of star in the galaxy. The present number depends on the stellar initial mass function (IMF), which describes the distribution of stellar masses when the population formed, and knowledge of it is critical to almost every aspect of galaxy evolution. More than 50 years after the first IMF determination, no consensus has emerged on whether it is universal among different types of galaxies. Previous studies indicated that the IMF and the dark matter fraction in galaxy centres cannot both be universal, but they could not convincingly discriminate between the two possibilities. Only recently were indications found that massive elliptical galaxies may not have the same IMF as the Milky Way. Here we report a study of the two-dimensional stellar kinematics for the large representative ATLAS 3D sample of nearby early-type galaxies spanning two orders of magnitude in stellar mass, using detailed dynamical models. We find a strong systematic variation in IMF in early-type galaxies as a function of their stellar mass-to-light ratios, producing differences of a factor of up to three in galactic stellar mass. This implies that a galaxy's IMF depends intimately on the galaxy's formation history.
The physiological effects of training in artistic-athletes

description: Dancers are often overlooked as athletes because of the artistic nature of their event. However, they must perform physiologically demanding choreography with precise technique, while maintaining a pleasing aesthetic. Because of the demands of dance performance, the artistic-athlete presents a unique challenge to practitioners striving to optimize their health and performance.Managing athlete health and performance requires testing and monitoring to evaluate the demands of training, how the athlete is responding to these demands, and determine areas that can be improved upon. Heart rate monitoring (HRM) is a viable means to monitor training as training load (TL) and exercise energy expenditure (EEE) is assessed, and they are reflective of the internal physiological training stress endured by the athlete. The effects of training can be observed through changes in various performance markers and blood biomarkers, and the success of training can be determined whether the desired outcome was achieved or not. However, HRM is limited to the time the athlete is wearing a monitor. Thus, inclusion of blood biomarkers provides a thorough assessment of one’s physiological response to on- and off-stage stressors. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to observe the physiological stress (i.e. TL and blood biomarkers) of training in the artistic-athlete, and examine interventions to optimize their health and performance (i.e. resistance training). We hypothesize the physiological demand of training will be low (relative to other sports), however blood biomarkers will change with cumulative TL, reflective of overall stress, related to inadequate energy intake and suboptimal recovery.
Change and Integration in Senior Health Care Systems: The Case of Sault Ste. Marie

description: This thesis organizes information that will assist a community in the selection or construction of a context sensitive integrated senior healthcare system model. The senior healthcare system within Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario is used as a case study. Institutional Ethnography is used to collect data guided by a change management model adapted from the literature. Data sources were non-participant observations, key informant interviews, focus groups, and texts. Institutional ethnographic local and high level analyses methods were used to analyze this data. Results identified many more restraining than driving forces for integration within Sault Ste. Marie’s senior healthcare system. Study findings indicate that macro level activities are perpetuating micro level obstacles to integration. These results can be used to identify where improvements need to be made at the macro level in order for successful change to occur at the micro level.
Paolo Bufalini and the classics: towards a digital edition of his “Note-Book”
Creators: name: Citti, Francesco

description: The paper presents some projects related to Paolo Bufalini, who was an eminent politician and antifascist,
and his interest in the classics. A note-book of his annotations from Latin and modern authors
written between 1981 and 1991 is examined. Bufalini often linked these authors to current events,
or to considerations concerning phenomena of an existential or political nature. As tge Note-book is
full of his corrections, notes and translations, it is an interesting document about the life of a leading
intellectual in post-war Italy. As a result the paper examines how to produce a digital edition based
on XML (Extensible Markup Language); this included firstly, the encoding of all the textual, informative
and structural elements of the text (adopting the TEI lite scheme), and secondly the graphic representation
of the encoded elements (quotations, annotations, corrections, underlining etc.) on the
final page, viewable by the user through an internet browser. We also present two further projects:
a new printed edition of the Horatian translations by Bufalini, and an online catalogue of Bufalini’s
manuscripts on Horace which can be found at the Study Centre “La Permanenza del Classico”.

description: Background: Social inequities are widening globally, contributing to growing health and health care inequities. Health inequities are unjust differences in health and well-being between and within groups of people caused by socially structured, and thus avoidable, marginalizing conditions such as poverty and systemic racism. In Canada, such conditions disproportionately affect Indigenous persons, racialized newcomers, those with mental health and substance use issues, and those experiencing interpersonal violence. Despite calls to enhance equity in health care to contribute to improving population health, few studies examine how to achieve equity at the point of care, and the impacts of doing so. Many people facing marginalizing conditions experience inadequate and inequitable treatment in emergency departments (EDs), which makes people less likely to access care, paradoxically resulting in reliance on EDs through delays to care and repeat visits, interfering with effective care delivery and increasing human and financial costs. EDs are key settings with potential for mitigating the impacts of structural conditions and barriers to care linked to health inequities. Methods: EQUIP is an organizational intervention to promote equity. Building on promising research in primary health care, we are adapting EQUIP to emergency departments, and testing its impact at three geographically and demographically diverse EDs in one Canadian province. A mixed methods multisite design will examine changes in key outcomes including: a) a longitudinal analysis of change over time based on structured assessments of patients and staff, b) an interrupted time series design of administrative data (i.e., staff sick leave, patients who leave without care being completed), c) a process evaluation to assess how the intervention was implemented and the contextual features of the environment and process that are influential for successful implementation, and d) a cost-benefit analysis. Discussion: This project will generate both process- and outcome-based evidence to improve the provision of equity-oriented health care in emergency departments, particularly targeting groups known to be at greatest risk for experiencing the negative impacts of health and health care inequities. The main deliverable is a health equity-enhancing framework, including implementable, measurable interventions, tested, refined and relevant to diverse EDs.
