description: Children, like adults, are unique individuals with complex interwoven relationships between brain function, behaviour, and phenotypic traits, which further interact with rapid developmental processes. A nuanced description of variability between children will add to our knowledge of how they think and behave, and potentially advance the development of personalized early interventions. With functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we have gained insight into brain responses – however, due to practical considerations, we have been unable to render a complete understanding of brain-behaviour relationships in young children. The use of naturalistic stimuli in fMRI studies has increased the ecological validity and the retention of developmental neuroimaging data. In this dissertation, I sought to explore the relationships between age, attentive traits, and inter-individual variability of brain function in young children in naturalistic paradigms. I conducted a scoping review to synthesize the current and historical task- and naturalistic-fMRI literature on the development of visual processing in the brain, through the lens of two influential theories: the interactive specialization and maturational frameworks. I found that while there is generally a consensus of progressive development of visual brain function throughout childhood, there is not enough evidence to fully support other aspects of these theories. I also conducted two experiments, using naturalistic fMRI and an analysis technique called inter-subject correlation (ISC), which quantifies the spatiotemporal similarity of brain activity between individuals, to explore how age and attentive traits affect inter-individual variability of brain function in children aged 4-8 years. I found that children’s brain responses to movies “homogenized” with increasing age in our sample, with greater variability seen in the younger children. Further, both inattention and hyperactivity were associated with ISC in the sample, though the relationships with these traits were different in widespread regions of the brain. Together, my research advances our understanding of functional brain responses in children and underscores the importance of an individual differences approach to developmental neuroimaging.

"Wanderers Yesterday--Americans Today" : Jewish humanitarian agencies and the Americanization of displaced persons, 1945-1955
Creators: name: Geizhals, Emily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In the immediate post-World War II period, from 1945 to about 1955, more than 650,000 Jewish displaced persons (DPs) left European DP camps and immigrated to the United States. Guided by American Jewish humanitarian agencies, these DPs undertook the process of acculturating to American life. Under the 1945 Truman Directive, many of these organizations acted as sponsoring agencies for DPs and were required to guarantee that DPs would receive transportation, housing, employment, and would not become a “public charge.” Beyond these four specific guarantees, humanitarian organizations also partnered with the US government to turn DPs into naturalized US citizens. At the same time, American Jewish humanitarian agencies took advantage of the opportunity to engage the American Jewish community by fundraising and calling for volunteers. In addition to providing English and citizenship classes, as well as job training to help “new Americans” become acculturated citizens, humanitarian agencies provided space for DPs to develop an American Jewish identity. This paper examines five American Jewish humanitarian agencies that assisted in the acculturation and Americanization of DPs in New York City during this period: the United Service for New Americans, the European-Jewish Children’s Aid, the Educational Alliance, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Organization for Rehabilitation through Training. Each participated in the dual project of creating American citizens out of former DPs and also in strengthening the American Jewish community through their acculturation. This paper contributes to the growing trend towards transnational studies of the Holocaust, and places post-World War II Jewish immigration in the longer history of European Jewish immigration to the US.

description: Serrated polyps of the colorectum have become increasingly recognized as an important clinical entity, as these precursor lesions are hypothesized to be responsible for up to 25% of sporadic cases of colorectal cancer. Much confusion exists regarding these polyps; particularly, their classification and associated malignant risk due to varied nomenclature, evolving pathological criteria, and ongoing research in prognostication. A specific subtype, sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), are of particular interest, as they are the most prevalent premalignant subtype and are over-represented in cases of interval cancers. Accurate identification and risk assessment remains a challenge owing to variable detection of clinically relevant serrated lesions by endoscopists, high inter-observer variability in diagnosis by pathologists, and an incomplete understanding of risk of future neoplasia. In this thesis, we analyze over 75,000 screening colonoscopies performed over a five-year period at a dedicated, large volume, high-efficiency screening centre to identify trends in the endoscopic detection of SSLs. The intent of this work is to better understand the temporal factors influencing SSL detection prevalence, the patient risk factors that are associated with these lesions, and how detection is related to procedural and endoscopist factors. The analysis includes consideration of traditional statistical methods as well as novel machine learning algorithms. We demonstrated a positive temporal trend in SSL detection over study period and identified several patient, procedural, and endoscopist factors associated with SSL detection. Machine learning models improved upon the predictive capabilities of traditional statistical models, yet a significant proportion of variability in risk remained unexplained, underscoring the complexity of accurately predicting SSLs. Endoscopic detection of SSLs demonstrates strong correlation with other detection metrics, notably adenoma detection rate, implying a shared underlying skillset requisite for the identification of these distinct polyp types. This connection highlights opportunities for enhancing detection through benchmarking and established quality improvement strategies.

description: On 8 May 1945, Allied forces announced the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, marking the official end of the Second World War and igniting VE Day celebrations across Britain. The atmosphere throughout the country was electrifying; enormous crowds gathered in Piccadilly Circus in London’s city centre, as seen in iconic photographs of a sea of people around the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain – popularly known as ‘Eros’ – with people scaling lampposts and even London buses. The mood was one of jubilation, relief, and disbelief: a collective sense of having escaped death. Soon, however, the air of celebration wore off. The people of Britain stepped out of their homes, free, but around them they saw destroyed cities – London, Birmingham, Coventry, Hull – landscapes bearing scars and craters left by bombs that had taken homes and lives. Although the war itself was over, life was now marked by the backdrop of the ever-present bombsite – some of which were left uncleared for decades – and anxieties around how to rebuild. This thesis examines the cultural significance of the bombsite in art and visual culture produced between 1945 and 1969 in Britain. Specifically, it considers how artists and practitioners responded to the material conditions of the bombsite, not its representation per se. I distinguish the bombsite from the ruin: ruins were sites to preserve, memorialise, intwined with the histories of the past. Bombsites, on the other hand, were temporally unstable, constantly shifting in their definition. Moving away from the idea that the bombsite was a wasteland, or a space of nothingness, I offer a nuanced, localised account of artistic and communal engagements with these sites. Each of the four chapters in this thesis demonstrates a different response to the bombsite. Some were retrogressive, shoring up traditional art practices in the face of trauma and destruction. Others were more radical, experimental, and politically and socially motivated. What emerges from a chronological development of this material is that the bombsite prompted responses that looked both forwards and backwards in time, producing a longer, more conflicted view of the post-war period. Instead of a linear progression from ruin to reconstruction, the works of art and visual culture I discuss illustrate how processes of decay and rebuilding were deeply entangled.
Activation of Toll-Like Receptor-Mediated Antiviral Response Against Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus Infection

description: Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) is a highly prevalent avian respiratory virus in Canada and globally, which can cause mild to severe respiratory illnesses. Although the live attenuated ILTV vaccines are commonly used for control, they pose challenges such as establishing lifelong latent infections, reactivating and shedding latent viruses, and regaining virulence in vaccine strains. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel control measures to address the limitations of current approaches. Inducing innate antiviral responses via the activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) is a promising strategy for reducing ILTV replication. Endosomal TLRs in chickens, such as TLR7 and TLR21, recognize viral genetic materials, while surface TLRs (e.g., TLR4) primarily recognize bacterial molecules, but may also contribute to antiviral responses by recognizing viral proteins. Synthetic TLR ligands have been shown to induce antiviral responses against some avian viruses, such as avian influenza virus (AIV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), ILTV, and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). However, the impacts of in-ovo delivery of endosomal TLR7 and TLR21 ligands and surface TLR4 ligand (single-stranded (ss) RNA, cytosine-guanosine deoxynucleotides (CpG) DNA, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), respectively) in reducing ILTV replication in chickens post-hatch through induction of antiviral responses is unknown. This thesis aimed to study the enhanced immune response following in-ovo treatment of these TLR ligands against ILTV infection in young chickens. Our hypothesis is that in-ovo delivery of these ligands will enhance antiviral immune responses and reduce ILTV replication in chickens post-hatch. Our results confirmed the following findings: Firstly, the in-ovo administration of synthetic TLR7 ligand, resiquimod, reduces ILTV shedding post-hatch, correlating with enhanced macrophage responses. Secondly, the in-ovo delivered CpG DNA stimulates cellular immune responses in multiple organs post-hatch, potentially reducing ILTV infection. Thirdly, the in-ovo LPS treatment stimulates protective antiviral responses against ILTV infection post-hatch, correlating with the expansion of macrophage population in the lungs. Overall, the studies provide insights into the mechanisms of host responses elicited following in-ovo delivery of these three TLR ligands against ILTV in chickens. The outcomes of the current studies can be helpful in fine-tuning the currently used vaccine strategies against ILTV in chicken to achieve maximum protection.

description: The academic scholarship on Indian film has predominantly focused on Bollywood cinema, examining central aspects such as the aesthetics, style, genre, ideology, industrial structure, and culture, as well as the transnational circulation and consumption of Bollywood in the era of globalization. This resulted in limited scholarship about independent, regional, and alternative cinemas in India. However, there is increasing interest in studying these cinemas, including their aesthetics, production processes and distribution models. Therefore, this dissertation contributes to and addresses this gap in the scholarship by examining India’s transnational independent film production culture. Employing an interdisciplinary approach that draws insights from Media Industry Studies, specifically John Caldwell's “cultural-industrial” method (2008), this dissertation emphasizes the need to examine the political-economic/industrial structures and labour practices in relation to each other. Therefore, it combines textual, industrial, and cultural analysis, alongside bottom-up methods such as personal interviews and participant observation to gain deeper insights into the film policies, practices, and professionals — making and facilitating Indian independent cinema transnationally. The focal point is the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC) – established in 1980 as a state-sponsored organization for developing alternative cinemas. This dissertation examines the management of NFDC, its annual film market Film Bazaar, as well as the professional world of its staff members and producers – who are primarily involved in creating independent cinema transnationally. The case study of NFDC explores how the organization managed and restructured itself in response to the neoliberal-national policies, leading to the formation of a transnational independent film production culture in the mid-2000s. The case study of Film Bazaar addresses the implications of these industrial structures on the programming, practices, and management, revealing the precarious work culture of its labour (e.g., low pay, contractual, and seasonal work). The final case study examines the under-explored role of Indian producers, their production culture, and the emotional labour within these transnational structures of independent filmmaking. Indian producers weave hero narratives, intertwining their beliefs and practices rooted in mentoring, networking, and creative entrepreneurship.
Testing for a moderating effect of laboratory-induced acute stress on gambling-related attentional biases

description: Gambling disorder is often accompanied by elements of disordered attentional processes which result in a bias for gambling-related stimuli. These attentional biases (AB) tend to positively correlate with the degree of disorder that an individual may experience and are therefore present (to a lesser extent) in individuals whose gambling involvement is not considered problematic. Stress is well-known to lower the threshold for the initiation of addictive behaviours and is associated with AB; however, the contextual and temporal relationship between a stressor and gambling-related ABs have not been well investigated. This study examined the moderating effects of acute stress induced in the laboratory with the anticipatory speech task (AST) on the relationship between problem gambling severity and AB for gambling-related imagery. ABs were measured as the fixation time toward gambling-related images vs. neutral images using eye-gaze tacking technology. Stress was assessed with subjective self-reports, using a 10-point visual analog scale, and physiological measures (heart rate, skin conductance, heart rate variability; HRV). Results from linear regression analyses indicated that subjective measures of stress significantly moderated the relationship between problem gambling severity and AB, whereas HRV was a marginally significant moderator. The overall AB observed was avoidance of gambling-related images, and this was most pronounced in at-risk gamblers who were least affected by the AST. In at-risk gamblers who experienced increases in stress from the AST, the avoidance bias was smaller (i.e., they attended to gambling-related images more than at-risk gamblers who did not experience an increase in subjective stress). Overall, these findings suggest that acute stress can quickly lead to an increase in preferential attention for gambling-related images in those who report problematic gambling habits.

description: We present the results for a chemical abundance analysis between planet-hosting and stars without planets for 12 refractory elements for a total of 1111 nearby FGK dwarf stars observed within the context of the HARPS GTO programs. Of these stars, 109 are known to harbour high-mass planetary companions and 26 stars are hosting exclusively Neptunians and super-Earths. We found that the [X/Fe] ratios for Mg, Al, Si, Sc, and Ti both for giant and low-mass planet hosts are systematically higher than those of comparison stars at low metallicities ([Fe/H] < from -0.2 to 0.1 dex depending on the element). The most evident discrepancy between planet-hosting and stars without planets is observed for Mg. Our data suggest that the planet incidence is greater among the thick disk population than among the thin disk for mettallicities bellow -0.3 dex. After examining the [alpha/Fe] trends of the planet host and non-host samples we conclude that a certain chemical composition, and not the Galactic birth place of the stars, is the determinating factor for that. The inspection of the Galactic orbital parameters and kinematics of the planet-hosting stars shows that Neptunian hosts tend to belong to the "thicker" disk compared to their high-mass planet-hosting counterparts.We also found that Neptunian hosts follow the distribution of high-alpha stars in the UW vs V velocities space, but they are more enhanced in Mg than high-alpha stars without planetary companions. Our results indicate that some metals other than iron may also have an important contribution to planet formation if the amount of iron is low. These results may provide strong constraints for the models of planet formation, especially for planets with low mass.

description: Given a finite group G and a number field k, a well-known conjecture asserts that the set R_t(k,G) of Steinitz classes of tame G-Galois extensions of k is a subgroup of the ideal class group of k. In this paper we investigate an explicit candidate for R_t(k,G), when G is of odd order. More precisely, we define a subgroup W(k,G) of the class group of k and we prove that R_t(k,G) is contained in W(k,G). We show that equality holds for all groups of odd order for which a description of R_t(k,G) is known so far. Furthermore, by refining techniques introduced in arXiv:0910.5080v1, we use the Shafarevich-Weil Theorem in cohomological class field theory, to construct some tame Galois extensions with given Steinitz class. In particular, this allows us to prove the equality R_t(k,G)=W(k,G) when G is a group of order dividing l^4, where l is an odd prime.

The position of the critical points of the two phase transitions for N>4 is established and the critical index ν is computed. For N=7, 17 the critical points are located by Monte Carlo simulations and some of the corresponding critical indices are determined. The behavior of the helicity modulus is studied for N=5, 7, 17. Using these and other available Monte Carlo data we discuss the scaling of the critical points with N and some other open theoretical problems.

description: In this contribution we report on the study of the optical emission lines and X-ray spectra of a sample of Type 1 AGNs, collected at the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database and observed by the XMM Newton satellite. Exploiting the different instruments carried onboard XMM, we identify the spectral components of the soft and hard energy bands (in the range from 0.3 keV up to 10 keV). The properties of the X-ray continuum and of the Fe Kalpha line feature are investigated in relation to the optical broad emission line profiles and intensity ratios. The resulting picture of emission, absorption and reflection processes is interpreted by means of a BLR structural model that was developed on the basis of independent optical and radio observations.

description: Identität, Individualität und Immunität biografischer Verläufe, die sich in der politischen und sozialen Willkür des postsowjetischen Russlands eigensinnig verfestigen – mit diesen Kennzeichen neuerer Romane und Filme scheint sich die Postmoderne endgültig zu verabschieden. Zumindest stellen sie eine Spannung zu jener Sinnoffenheit her, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten die ästhetischen Konturen vorgegeben hat. Diesen Grundkonflikt untersucht der von Bettina Lange, Nina Weller und Georg Witte herausgegebene Band “Die nicht mehr neuen Menschen. Russische Filme und Romane der Jahrtausendwende”.

description: We present a compelling response of a low-dimensional strongly correlated system to an external perturbation. Using the time-dependent Lanczos method we investigate a nonequilibrium evolution of the half-filled one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, driven by a transient laser pulse. When the system is close to the phase boundary, by tuning the laser frequency and strength, a sustainable charge order enhancement is found that is absent in the Mott insulating phase. We analyze the conditions and investigate possible mechanisms of emerging charge order enhancement. Feasible experimental realizations are proposed.

description: In this work we investigate small clusters of bosons using the hyperspherical harmonic basis. We consider systems with $A=2,3,4,5,6$ particles interacting through a soft inter-particle potential. In order to make contact with a real system, we use an attractive gaussian potential that reproduces the values of the dimer binding energy and the atom-atom scattering length obtained with one of the most widely used $^4$He-$^4$He interactions, the LM2M2 potential. The intensity of the potential is varied in order to explore the clusters' spectra in different regions with large positive and large negative values of the two-body scattering length. In addition, we include a repulsive three-body force to reproduce the trimer binding energy. With this model, consisting in the sum of a two- and three-body potential, we have calculated the spectrum of the four, five and six particle systems. In all the region explored, we have found that these systems present two bound states, one deep and one shallow close to the $A-1$ threshold. Some universal relations between the energy levels are extracted; in particular, we have estimated the universal ratios between thresholds of the three-, four-, and five-particle continuum using the two-body gaussian
A New Global Order - Health and Beyond.pdf

Subjects: Health Care

description: The article explores the process of western liberalization worldwide in the last 70 years and how it has shaped our current belief about health and consumption of healthcare services. It starts with the changing nature of public health at the expense of health promotion and the vulnerable position of WHO which allowed the rise of non-state actors within the global health agenda. It then follows with the process of globalization with the diffusion of western liberal ideologies globally and causing a rise in the medicalization of our daily life. With health increasingly being used in political discourse, we have seen a rise in welfare state and its associated ill-effects on healthcare services. Lastly, the article explores the recently developed concept of global public health goods and how from parallel issues, is unlikely to be not beneficial to the global health agenda. It is concluded with the recommendation of global actors need to evolve to use their domain of expertise to advance the agenda including the need for self-financing strategies for independence in policymaking. There is also the urgent need to foster regional collaboration for accountability and conduct research and development with cost-effectiveness and equity in the early stages.
Quantum discord versus second-order MQ NMR coherence intensity in dimers

description: We consider the quantum discord in a two-particle spin-1/2 system (dimer) governed by the standard multiple quantum (MQ) Hamiltonian and reveal the relation between the discord and the intensity of the second-order MQ coherence. Since the coherence intensities may be measured in experiment, we obtain a method of detecting the quantum discord in experiment. Comparison of discord and concurrence is represented.

Treating gravity in thin disk simulations

description: In 2D simulations of thin gaseous disks with embedded planets or self-gravity the gravitational potential needs to be smoothed to avoid singularities in the numerical evaluation of the gravitational potential or force. In order to correctly resemble the realistic case of vertically extended 3D disks the softening prescription used in 2D needs to be adjusted properly. In this paper we analyze the embedded planet and the self-gravity case and provide a method to evaluate the required smoothing in 2D simulations of thin disks. Starting from the averaged hydrodynamic equations and using a vertically isothermal disk model, we calculate the force. We compare our results to the often used Plummer form of the potential which runs as \propto 1/(r^2+ε^2)^{1/2}. For that purpose we compute the required smoothing length εas a function of distance r to the planet or to a disk element within a self-gravitating disk. We find that for larger distances εis determined solely by the vertical disk thickness H. For the planet case we find that outside r\simH a value of ε= 0.7H describes the averaged force very well, while in the self-gravitating disk the value needs to be larger, ε= 1.2H. For smaller distances the smoothing needs to be reduced significantly. Comparing torque densities of 3D and 2D simulations we show that the modification to the vertical density stratification as induced by an embedded planet needs to be taken into account to obtain agreeing results. In disk fragmentation simulations the choice of εcan determine whether a disk will fragment or not. Because a wrong smoothing length can change even the direction of migration, it is very important to include the effect of the planet on the local scale height in 2D planet-disk simulations. We provide an approximate and fast method for this purpose which gives very good agreement to full 3D simulations.

Ethnographic perspectives on Laxyuup Gitxaała
Creators: name: Irons, Jonathan William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this thesis I use ethnographic research methods to examine the nature of archaeological practice when it occurs in collaboration with indigenous groups (collaborative archaeology). In 2011, I served as a member of the Laxyuup Gitxaała research project team, a project conducted by the University of British Columbia and under the auspices of Gitxaała Nation. In most writing on collaborative archaeology, authors use parables and simple explanations of special site procedures as a background for defending the practice. In-depth archaeological ethnographies of collaborative archaeological practice are few and far between. In this research I employed a reflective methodology and asked participants to journal about their experience of the daily archaeological work in order to address the experience of archaeological field practice. In my analysis I use these journals and my own reflections to describe archaeology as a stratigraphic profile. I present this profile as consisting of three layers, Fishing Narratives, Archaeological Work, and Land and Place. I provide a thick description of the consistency of these three layers, the shape of their features and their overall relationship to one another. I conclude by suggesting that the way in which anecdotal fishing narratives permeate the research experience affords collaborative archaeology a character which is supplemented and enhanced rather than compromised or restricted.
