description: Background: People who smoke drugs (PWSD) are at high risk of both infectious disease and overdose. Harm reduction activities organized by their peers in the community can reduce risk by providing education, safer smoking supplies, and facilitate access to other services. Peers also provide a network of people who provide social support to PWSD which may reinforce harm reducing behaviors. We evaluated the numbers of supportive network members and the relationships between received support and participants’ harm-reducing activities. Methods: Initial peer-researchers with past or current lived drug use experience were employed from communities in Abbotsford and Vancouver to interview ten friends from their social networks who use illegal drugs mainly through smoking. Contacts completed a questionnaire about people in their own harm reduction networks and their relationships with each other. We categorized social support into informational, emotional, and tangible aspects, and harm reduction into being trained in the use of, or carrying naloxone, assisting peers with overdoses, using brass screens to smoke, obtaining pipes from service organizations and being trained in CPR. Results: Fifteen initial peer researchers interviewed 149 participants who provided information on up to 10 people who were friends or contacts and the relationships between them. People who smoked drugs in public were 1.46 (95% CI, 1.13-1.78) more likely to assist others with possible overdoses if they received tangible support; women who received tangible support were 1.24 (95% CI; 1.02-1.45) more likely to carry and be trained in the use of naloxone. There was no relationship between number of supportive network members and harm reduction behaviors. Conclusions: In this pilot study, PWSD who received tangible support were more likely to assist peers in possible overdoses and be trained in the use of and/or carry naloxone, than those who did not receive tangible support. Future work on the social relationships of PWSD may prove valuable in the search for credible and effective interventions.

description: Analyse et critique de l¹oeuvre de Bruno Latour à partir d¹une conception de la démocratie écologique basée sur le pluralisme et l¹inclusion de divers types de processus de traduction. Ce travail part du constat que la conception libérale de la démocratie écologique constitue une aporie. L’objectif est de proposer une nouvelle conception qui serait le fruit d¹un processus de déterritorialisation du concept de démocratie écologique du libéralisme et de sa reterritorialisation dans le territoire pluriel de création que constitue l’écologie. A partir d¹une lecture critique et analytique des principaux ouvrages du sociologue des sciences, Bruno Latour, il s¹agit d¹examiner certaines pistes de réflexions qui permettront de jeter les bases d¹un nouveau collectif rassemblant les entités humaines et non humaines à partir d’une conception de la démocratie écologique. Ce travail met aussi l¹accent sur la nécessité de dépasser la conception latourienne du rôle des sciences et du politique dans l’exercice du rassemblement du nouveau collectif dans le but de favoriser une pluralité de porte-parole des agencements entre les entités humaines et non humaines, ainsi que l’inclusion divers types de processus de traduction.

description: In Professor Orem's English 105 course (entitled "Art in Social Activism"), we spent several weeks discussing the beat generation of the 1950s. Throughout our discussion of this epoch in American history, I was astonished and fascinated by how closely it paralleled modern American culture. The "non-conformist" has been a prominent figure in American society for decades, actively combatting the mundanity and conventionality of everyday life and introducing a new wave of thought (and effectively, a new way of life), for students and artists alike. It may be suggested that this figure first emerged in the 1950s, amongst Jack Keroac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and other prominent beatsters. It is only through a sixty year filter that we can clearly discern the revolutionary nature of the ideas expressed by these artists, as one may very easily identify with the sentiments expressed within their works, today. In my essay "Corso, Conformity, and Christmas Teeth" I analyze the effectiveness and potency of Corso's poem "Marriage" which epitomizes and perfectly captures the non-conformist culture of American society that began in the 1950s.

Histone lysine methylation
X-ray crystallography

description: Histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation is an evolutionarily conserved mark commonly associated with transcription activation in eukaryotes. In mammals, this post-translational modification is deposited by the KMT2 family of H3K4 methyltransferases. Biochemical studies have shown that the enzymatic activity of the KMT2 enzymes is regulated by a core complex of four evolutionarily conserved proteins: WDR5, RbBP5, ASH2L and DPY30, collectively known as WRAD, which are all important for global H3K4 methylation. However, how these proteins interact and regulate the activity of the KMT2 enzymes is not well investigated. During my PhD, I have used structural and biochemical approaches to determine the interactions underlying formation of the core complex and regulation of KMT2 enzymatic activity. My research have shown that 1) WDR5 uses two peptide-binding clefts on opposite sides of its β-propeller domain to bridge the KMT2 enzymes to the regulatory subunit RbBP5, 2) the WDR5 peptidyl-arginine-binding cleft exhibits plasticity to accommodate the binding of all KMT2 enzymes and 3) RbBP5 S350 phosphorylation stimulates formation of the RbBP5-ASH2L complex and H3K4 methylation by the mammalian KMT2 enzymes. Collectively, these studies have provided the structural basis for understanding the important interactions governing KMT2 complex assembly and activity.

description: The effects of H2 and N2 in-situ plasma treatments prior to the deposition of Schottky contacts or SiO2 passivation on GaAs have been studied, showing a large dependance of the electrical properties on the cleaning procedure. For Ti/Pt and Al diodes, degraded rectifying characteristics result after room-temperature H2 treatments, while diode ideality factors as low as 1.01 were achieved in the temperature range 160-240°C. An increase in the barrier height was also observed with increasing substrate temperature during the plasma treatments, in correlation with H indiffusion in GaAs. *IV values of refractory WNX diodes were enhanced by H2 treatments, up to 0.78 V after 800°C anneals. Improved C-V characteristics of MOS capacitors were found after H2 plasma and a thin Si layer deposition,   after  successive  anneals   at  600  and  400°C.

description: In this dissertation, we study integrodifference equations in patchy landscapes. Specifically, we provide a framework for linking individual dispersal behavior with population-level dynamics in patchy landscapes by integrating recent advances in modeling dispersal into an integrodifference equation. First, we formulate a random-walk model in a patchy landscape with patch-dependent diffusion, settling, and mortality rates. We incorporate mechanisms for individual behavior at an interface which, in general, results in the probability-density function of the random walker being discontinuous at an interface. We show that the dispersal kernel can be characterized as the Green's function of a second-order differential operator and illustrate the kind of (discontinuous) dispersal kernels that arise from our approach. We examine the dependence of obtained kernels on model parameters. Secondly, we analyze integrodifference equations in patchy landscapes equipped with discontinuous kernels. We obtain explicit formulae for the critical-domain-size problem, as well as, explicit formulae for the analogous critical size of good patches on an infinite, periodic, patchy landscape. We examine the dependence of obtained formulae on individual behavior at an interface. Through numerical simulations, we observe that, if the population can persist on an infinite, periodic, patchy landscape, its spatial profile can evolve into a discontinuous traveling periodic wave. We derive a dispersion relation for the speed of the wave and illustrate how interface behavior affects invasion speeds. Lastly, we develop a strategic model for the spread of the emerald ash borer and its interaction with host trees. A thorough literature search provides point estimates and interval ranges for model parameters. Numerical simulations show that the spatial profile of an emerald ash borer invasion evolves into a pulse-like solution that moves with constant speed. We employ Latin hypercube sampling to obtain a plausible collection of parameter values and use a sensitivity analysis technique, partial rank correlation coefficients, to identify model parameters that have the greatest influence on obtained speeds. We illustrate the applicability of our framework by exploring the effectiveness of barrier zones on slowing the spread of the emerald ash borer invasion.

description: Although different studies have been conducted on various aspects of the National Solidarity Program (NSP) in Afghanistan, research on strengthening solidarity and social cohesion through its participatory approach has received little attention. This research used development communication as a theoretical framework to understand the role of participatory communication in strengthening solidarity and social cohesion in Afghanistan. The study employed a qualitative case study. To this end, the study used semi-structured interviews via email and telephone with 10 participants. Thematic analysis was used to code and categorize the data. The study findings show that the NSP appears to promote participation and increase collectiveness among the Afghan people, which, in turn, seem to strengthen solidarity and social cohesion. Finally, future research areas are discussed in the light of these findings.

Aus einem von Experten zusammengestellten Itempool wurden Items den drei Skalen „Neubewertung“, „Unterdrückung“ und „Risikoverhalten“ zugeordnet. Nach Durchführen einer konfirmatorischen Faktorenanalyse und Modifikation (Löschen von Items mit niedrigen Ladungen, Erlauben von Korrelationen) entstand eine 17 Item-Version mit soliden Fit-Indices. Die Skalen „Neubewertung“ und „Unterdrückung“ enthalten jeweils fünf Items, die Skala „Risikoverhalten“ sieben. Im NARQ folgt auf den Satzanfang „Wenn es mir nicht gut geht und ich mich besser fühlen möchte“ jeweils eine Strategie, die auf einer 5-Punkte Likert-Skala mit 0-Nie bis 4-Immer beantwortet wird. Es liegen Daten zu Reliabilität und Validität vor, die auf gute psychometrische Qualität in Studenten- und Patientenstichproben hinweisen. Eine Normierung steht noch aus.

description: Two studies based on one online randomized controlled trial examined the effects of sport gain-framed messages (Rothman & Salovey, 1997) and a sport possible self (Murru & Martin Ginis, 2010) protocol on indices of possible self activation and elaboration, sport intention, and sport activity. 244 non-sporting adults (M = 50.59, 40-59 yrs) completed baseline/screening measures (T1), a gain-framed experimental/control intervention one week later (T2), and follow-up measures (T3) four weeks after T2. Study 1 showed gain-framed participants most frequently attended to a health and fitness message, more frequently described a possible self, and elaborated more on their possible selves (especially about delaying aging and developing friendships through sport). Study 2 indicated that gain-framed individuals requested more sport newsletters and registered for more sport programs. From T1 to T2, gain-framed conditions facilitated increased intentions for those with low approach motivation, whereas control conditions improved intentions for individuals with high approach motivation.

description: Two factorial greenhouse experiments were performed to determine the effects of four arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species (Glomus arenarium, Funneliformis caledonius, F. mosseae, and Rhizophagus irregularis) and a root endophyte (Piriformospora indica) on four ‘day-neutral’ strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars (‘Albion’, ‘Charlotte’, ‘Mara des Bois’, and ‘Seascape’), and mixed-AMF species (R. irregularis + F. mosseae) on cv. ‘Seascape’, under salt conditions (0-200 mM NaCl). In its biomass, ‘Seascape’ was more tolerant to salinity than the other cultivars. Cultivars responded differently to fungal inoculation as to salinity. G. arenarium had a negative effect on plant growth and ‘Mara des Bois’ responded negatively to inoculation. Among the remaining inoculants and cultivars, fungal-symbiosis was beneficial to growth. R. irregularis alleviated the symptoms of salt stress and improved fruit quality to a higher degree than the other AMF species and the root endophyte. Our results support the use of bio-inoculants in salty horticultural areas.

description: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and adipose tissue hypoxia have been shown to independently affect adipocyte functions. The goals of this study were to (1) determine the effect of PCB-77, PCB-153, and DDE on the differentiation of human preadipocytes, and (2) investigate the cross-talk between PCB-77 and hypoxia in differentiated human adipocytes. First, human preadipocytes were exposed to PCB-77, PCB-153, or DDE during the entire 14-day differentiation period. We found no effect of low POP levels on lipid accumulation. Second, differentiated human adipocytes were exposed to a combination of PCB-77 and hypoxia. We demonstrated gene-specific cross-talk between PCB-77 and hypoxia, showing an additive effect of PCB-77 on VEGF, MCP-1, and adiponectin, as well as an inhibition of PCB-77-induced expression of CYP1A1 by hypoxia. This work has expanded our understanding of the role of POPs and hypoxia in differentiated human adipocytes.

description: First Nations foodways have been altered through systemized efforts of colonization and were effectively reduced in part from the creation of stores and through limiting reserve systems. The current research seeks to understand the dietary choices and changes among three generations of Fist Nations women. Research takes place in a remote First Nation community in Northern Ontario. The differing food practices among the three generations of women highlight transformations resulting from a traumatic history. Decreases in the consumption of traditional, land based foods, as well as the practices around these foods (procurement, preparation, knowledge exchange and social engagement) alter the experiences of the younger generations. The conversations/exchanges around food take place within the culturally significant space of the teepee. The teepee is a core element. These exchanges have a tremendous bearing on the overall wellness of these women and their efforts to reclaim and remain culturally resilient.

Creating a dialogue between the literature on Private Military Companies and the US warrior ethos, this thesis aims at providing a comprehensive understanding of the values sustaining the warrior ethos and how they are jeopardized by the emergence of new actors in the battlespace. I argue that this commercial turn in the US military erode the warrior ethos by placing business consideration ahead of great personal risk and ultimately raises doubts about civic responsibilities and democratic control of US military affairs.

description: This master’s research is a phenomenological inquiry into the pedagogical moment in teacher education. This phenomenon is explored through a conceptual lens that draws from the phenomenological pedagogical ideals that are intrinsic to the work of both Ted Aoki and Max van Manen. Following a comprehensive outline of the phenomenological methodology that guides this thesis, the pedagogical moment is described in terms of three phases: tension, opening and pulse. The phenomenon is further explored through several sub themes relating to the lifeworld existentials (time, body, space, relation to other). This research intertwines several phenomenological concepts (such as intentionality, embodiment, consciousness, pedagogy, and motion sensitive phenomenology), within the context of one “living” phenomenon as a way of shedding light on what it is like to experience a pedagogical moment from within the tensions of practicum teaching.

description: While concussion is an acknowledged as a significant sport-related injury, the implementation of international guidelines on concussion management in low income countries can be challenging. The Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT, https://cattonline.com/) is an accessible online concussion resource with up-to-date evidence-based content. The objectives of this pilot study in Uganda were to educate health professionals, coaches, and sport managers on the recognition and management of concussion in sports; and to evaluate the effectiveness of the e-learning CATT concussion educational sessions among health professionals, coaches, and sport managers. In-person CATT training sessions were held for health professionals, and for coaches and sports managers; 74 participants participated in the evaluation of these sessions. Participants who took the CATT for medical professionals training experienced significant improvement of their confidence in recognizing a concussion, in reaching out to someone with a concussion, and in supporting someone with a concussion; overall concussion knowledge also increased significantly (p=0.000). Participants who took the CATT for coaches training experienced significant improvement of their confidence in referring someone with concussion to a professional, in recognizing a concussion, in reaching out to someone with a concussion, and in supporting someone with a concussion; overall concussion knowledge also increased significantly (p=0.002). Participant opinions about CATT were very positive overall, and challenges for delivering online concussion training in Uganda were identified.

Education in Nigeria
dropping out of school

description: Nigeria currently has some of the worst and persistent poor access to education, social inequality and the highest number of out-of-school children in the world. In the literature, some of the identified reasons for these include poverty, early marriage, religious and cultural values (Humphreys and Crawfurd, 2014; Save the Children, 2016; UNESCO, 2019). While there has been a multiplicity of interventions to address these and promote access to basic education in the past two decades, the number of out-of-school children has continued to escalate, having both gender and regional dimensions. In 2006, the number of out-of-school children stood at around 7.4 million, which increased to about 10.5 million in 2010 and 13.2 million in 2016. These suggest a need to look beyond the mainstream approaches to interrogate gender constructions in the dominant ethnocultural domains in Nigeria. From a postcolonial feminist perspective, the study, therefore, examined possible influences of social constructions of maleness (masculinity) on access and completion of basic education in the three dominant ethnocultural groups (Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba) in Nigeria. Qualitative data were collected, using a semi-structured interview guide, from 30 (15 female and 15 male) adult respondents that had experiences of dropping out of basic education in Anambra (southeast), Sokoto (northwest) and Oyo (southwest) states in Nigeria. Findings indicate that colonialism (and its aftermaths) contributed to the shaping of the postcolonial males' character, dominant position and subordination of females in ways that affect an individual's educational development. Masculinity is directly and indirectly implicated in the state of access and completion of basic education in all the three ethnocultural zones for creating and exacerbating conditions that push and pull both females and males out of school. The study recommends exploration of homegrown initiatives and effective ways for addressing barriers to education that emanate from the social construction of masculine characters. The study also highlights the inappropriateness of the Western liberal feminist approach to the study of masculinity in a non-Western society.

description: Depuis le Pageant du tricentenaire de la ville de Québec, qui a eu lieu en 1908, plusieurs spectacles historiques à grand déploiement ont été créés au Canada français, et particulièrement au Québec, et ce, jusqu’aux années 1960. Ces spectacles populaires et amateurs, souvent créés dans le cadre de festivités célébrant des anniversaires de fondation de localités ou d’établissements scolaires ou religieux, connurent ensuite un déclin, pour revenir en force à partir de la fin des années 1980. Présenté de 2004 à 2008 dans la ville de Casselman, en Ontario, le spectacle L'écho d'un peuple est l’un des plus importants représentants contemporains de ce genre théâtral et s’avère, par sa forme et son contenu, différent des autres productions de ce genre. Ce mémoire vise à démontrer que L’écho d’un peuple véhicule un discours identitaire fondé sur la grandeur des origines par le biais d'une forme spectaculaire particulièrement apte à la transmission d’un discours épique. Le premier chapitre présente l’historique du spectacle, de sa création jusqu’à sa dissolution, alors que le deuxième chapitre démontre son appartenance au genre du « pageant scénique », une forme théâtrale très utilisée dans les spectacles historiques à grand déploiement produits durant la première moitié du XXe siècle. Les troisième et quatrième chapitres, qui proposent une analyse des composantes temporelles et spatiales du spectacle, démontrent que les événements historiques privilégiés par la trame narrative contribuent à construire un discours historique fondé sur la grandeur des origines de l’Ontario français, ponctué d’exploits accomplis par des héros évoluant sur un territoire spécifiquement franco-ontarien.

description: Defective chromatin remodeling proteins are associated with both germline and acquired human disease. PHF6 is encoded by an X-linked gene that is predominantly expressed in the brain and thymus. Structurally, PHF6 contains nuclear and nucleolar localization sequences as well as two ZaP domains, which bind dsDNA. Germline mutations in PHF6 are the cause of BFLS, an XLID, while somatic PHF6 mutations have been identified in T-ALL, AML, and CML. Indeed, screening of a pediatric cohort of nine T-ALL patients revealed a novel H329Q mutation. In a further clinical analysis, T-ALL onset occurred in a 9-year old male BFLS patient with an R342X mutation, suggesting that BFLS might be a cancer predisposition syndrome. To better understand its protein function, recombinant PHF6 was co-immunoprecipitated for a mass spectrometry based proteomic screen. Notably, PHF6 co-purified with multiple constituents of the NuRD complex, an important transcriptional regulator during embryogenesis and lineage commitment with particularly well characterized responsibilities during lymphogenesis. PHF6-NuRD localization was restricted to the nucleoplasm, however PHF6 also co-purified with several ribosomal and splicing proteins. When examined further, PHF6 was found to be recruited to the nucleolus by an RNA-mediated interaction and co-localized within the subnucleolar FC and DFC compartments. ChIP-qPCR revealed that PHF6 binds to transcribed regions of rDNA, resulting in the repression of rRNA. These data thus present a model of PHF6 acting as a tumour suppressor by mediating both nucleoplasmic and nucleolar transcriptional events.

description: En 2003, le comité permanent de la justice et des droits de la personne a été chargé d’étudier le projet de loi C-23, qui visait la mise en place d’un registre national des délinquants sexuels au Canada. Lors de ce processus, 12 mémoires ont été présentés au comité par des organismes et des individus qui désiraient se prononcer sur la controverse soulevée par ce projet de loi. Cette thèse vise deux objectifs inter-reliés : l’un empirique, l’autre théorique. Tout d’abord, il s’agit de mener une analyse des diverses problématisations que les auteurs de ces mémoires ont fait de la controverse. Dans un deuxième temps, cet analyse est aussi un exercice d’application théorique, où les concepts d’acteurs, d’actant et de point de passage obligé, qui sont proposés par la sociologie de l’acteur-réseau de Bruno Latour, sont utilisés.
A Model for Managing Data Integrity

description: Consistent, accurate and timely data are essential to the functioning of a modern organization. Managing the integrity of an organization’s data assets in a systematic manner is a challenging task in the face of continuous update, transformation and processing to support business operations. Classic approaches to constraint-based integrity focus on logical consistency within a database and reject any transaction that violates consistency, but leave unresolved how to fix or manage violations. More ad hoc approaches focus on the accuracy of the data and attempt to clean data assets after the fact, using queries to flag records with potential violations and using manual efforts to repair. Neither approach satisfactorily addresses the problem from an organizational point of view. In this thesis, we provide a conceptual model of constraint-based integrity management (CBIM) that flexibly combines both approaches in a systematic manner to provide improved integrity management. We perform a gap analysis that examines the criteria that are desirable for efficient management of data integrity. Our approach involves creating a Data Integrity Zone and an On Deck Zone in the database for separating the clean data from data that violates integrity constraints. We provide tool support for specifying constraints in a tabular form and generating triggers that flag violations of dependencies. We validate this by performing case studies on two systems used to manage healthcare data: PAL-IS and iMED-Learn. Our case studies show that using views to implement the zones does not cause any significant increase in the running time of a process.
Cultural influences on consumer behaviour

description: This study investigates the differences between individualism-collectivism and consumer behaviour in relation to automobile purchases. In this study the author looked at several stages of the consumer decision-making process and identified the possible differences between individualist and collectivist consumers and how it influences purchase decision. Based on a sample of 211 respondents from individualist (Australian-born) and collectivist (Asian-born) backgrounds, an established scale (Cultural Values Scale: Singelis, Triandis, Bhawuk, and Gelfand, 1995) was used to confirm the cultural values among the participants, if the respondents are aligned with the particular group (i.e. Asian-born with collectivism and Australian-born with individualism). Hypotheses were tested using independent sample t-test. Results found that there were no differences in individualism observed between Australian-born and Asian-born respondents; however, there were differences in collectivism observed between these two groups, such that Asian-born participants scored higher on collectivism. Results also found that Asian-born consumers are more brand conscious and involve a number of family/friends in their decision making. In contrast Australian-born consumers do not believe in group decision making and uses internet as the most important source of information. The findings will provide insight into how automobile companies could position themselves with respect to their marketing strategies in different cultural settings.
Not quite as expected: Victorian Labor and the Legislative Council 2010
Creators: name: Rodan, Paul
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: On 27 November 2010, the Victorian Labor government led by John Brumby was defeated by the Liberal/National coalition, a result which, while not a total surprise, was neither predicted nor anticipated for much of the preceding four- year (fixed) term. What was more surprising was the achievement of the coalition in securing a majority in the Legislative Council, a chamber whose 2003 reforms had, implicitly at least, been designed to all but ensure that securing a majority of seats would require a majority of the vote, a circumstance which did not apply in 2010. In the election aftermath, Labor was understandably focussed on the loss of government (by one seat) with minimal attention to the upper house result. However, that result was significant, suggesting that the Labor government’s 2003 electoral model may not have served its intentions as effectively as initially thought. [Introduction]

description: The dramatic resignation of Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu may have surprised many but cannot be considered altogether unexpected. A year that began poorly for the now ex-Premier yesterday completely overwhelmed the government. While the media was focused on the ongoing federal circus in Sydney's west, the current tumult of Victorian politics appears to have taken centre stage.

description: Anthropogenic emissions are a dominant contributor to air pollution. Consequently, mitigation policies have attempted to reduce anthropogenic pollution emissions in Europe since the 1990s. To evaluate the effectiveness of these mitigation policies, the German Ultrafine Aerosol Network (GUAN) was established in 2008, focusing on black carbon and sub-micrometer aerosol particles, especially ultrafine particles. In this investigation, trends of the size-resolved particle number concentrations (PNC) and the equivalent black carbon (eBC) mass concentration over a 10-year period (2009-2018) were evaluated for 16 observational sites for different environments among GUAN. The trend analysis was done for both, the full-length time series and on subsets of the time series in order to test the reliability of the results. The results show generally decreasing trends of both, the PNCs for all size ranges as well as eBC mass concentrations in all environments, except PNC in 10-30 nm at regional background and mountain sites. The annual slope of the eBC mass concentration varies between -7.7% and -1.8% per year. The slopes of the PNCs varies from -6.3% to 2.7%, -7.0% to -2.0%, and -9.5% to -1.5% per year (only significant trends) for 10-30 nm, 30-200 nm, and 200-800 nm particle diameter, respectively. The regional Mann-Kendall test yielded regional-scale trends of eBC mass concentration, N[30-200] and N[200-800] of -3.8%, -2.0% and -2.4%, respectively, indicating an overall decreasing trend for eBC mass concentration and sub-micrometer PNC (except N[10-30]) all over Germany. The most significant decrease was observed on working days and during daytime in urban areas, which implies a strong evidence of reduced anthropogenic emissions. For the seasonal trends, stronger reductions were observed in winter. Possible reasons for this reduction can be the increased average ambient temperatures and wind speed in winter, which resulted in less domestic heating and stronger dilution. In addition, decreased precipitation in summer also diminishes the decrease of the PNCs and eBC mass concentration. For the period of interest, there were no significant changes in long-range transport patterns. The most likely factors for the observed decreasing trends are declining anthropogenic emissions due to emission mitigation policies of the European Union.
