description: Basal Temperature of Snow (BTS) measurements were used as the primary inputs to a high resolution (30 x 30 m grid cells) empirical-statistical regional permafrost probability model for the southern and central Yukon, and northernmost British Columbia (59° - 65°N). Data from seven individual study areas distributed across the region were combined using a blended distance decay technique, with an eighth area used for validation. The model predictions are reasonably consistent with previous permafrost maps for the area with some notable differences and a much higher level of detail. The modelling gives an overall permafrost probability of 52%. North of 62°N, permafrost becomes more extensive in the lowland areas whereas farther south permafrost is typically common only above treeline. Significant differences exist between the mountain environments of the Yukon and the Swiss Alps where the BTS method originated and as a result different modelling approaches had to be developed. This work therefore: (1) develops additional explanatory variables for permafrost probability modelling, the most notable of which is equivalent elevation, (2) confirms the use of ground truthing as a requirement for empirical-statistical modelling in the Yukon and (3) uses a combination of models for the region in order to spatially predict between study areas. The results of this thesis will be of use to linear infrastructure route-planning, geohazard assessment and climate change adaptation strategies. Future work employing the model will allow the effects of scenario-based climate warming to be examined.

Entitlement to the rights of aboriginal people.
Creators: name: Gagné, Jocelyn.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Law.

description: The question that I consider, in my thesis, is who is entitled to share in whatever distinct rights aboriginal peoples may be afforded by Canadian law. The conclusion that I reach is that only groups which are capable of exercising collective rights and which are connected, by some degree of descent, to aboriginal groups that existed prior to the coming of the Europeans are entitled to aboriginal rights today. This conclusion is derived from a consideration of the sources of aboriginal rights. Aboriginal rights, in the sense in which I use it, would include any rights which are unique to aboriginal people, including common law, treaty and constitutional rights. While the source of treaty rights appears to be, at least in part, the recognition of common law rights and the source of constitutional rights appears to be the recognition of both treaty and common law rights, the source of aboriginal peoples' common law rights is less clear. I consider two possible sources of common law aboriginal rights. The first is that British Colonial law recognized the continuing validity of aboriginal customary law, even after sovereignty was acquired. The second is that the common law afforded proprietary rights to those who were already in possession when the crown acquired sovereignty. The basis on which common law rights exist today in Canada has not been conclusively determined by the courts, although support for either of these sources can be found. I make no final conclusions in my thesis concerning the source or sources of common law aboriginal rights in Canada. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: The use of water-based rehabilitation is widespread in both clinical and general health settings, as the properties of water offer several benefits for the human body. However, there is a relative paucity of research regarding the kinematic effects of water immersion, which has resulted in limited guidelines for practitioners wishing to employ water-based exercises in their practice. The primary aim of this thesis was to examine the kinematic effects of water-based squat variations on young, aged, and injured adults to further their application in rehabilitation. This will provide practitioners with novel insights into how water immersion may affect common exercises across different populations. This traditional thesis with publications is composed by five research projects, and one narrative literature review. Chapter 3 presents a validity analysis of the equipment used during the research project and introduces the methodology used throughout the subsequent studies. Three of the following studies (Chapters 4, 6, and 7) assess the kinematic effects of water immersion across three different populations during squat-like exercises. The additional study (Chapter 5) assesses kinematic effects of altered water depth during squats performed in water. These four research projects have been prepared for the purpose of publication in peer-reviewed journals. At the time of submission, two of the manuscripts have been accepted for publication (the literature review and the manuscript in Chapter 4), while the remaining three manuscripts are submitted and under review.

description: Cytokinins play important roles in the growth and development of plants. Physiological and photosynthetic characteristics are common indicators to measure the growth and development in plants. However, few reports have described the molecular mechanisms of physiological and photosynthetic changes in response to cytokinin, particularly in woody plants. DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic modification that dynamically regulates gene expression in response to the external environment. In this study, we examined genome-wide DNA methylation variation and transcriptional variation in poplar (Populus tomentosa) after short-term treatment with the synthetic cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA). We identified 460 significantly differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in response to 6-BA treatment. Transcriptome analysis showed that 339 protein-coding genes, 262 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and 15,793 24-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were differentially expressed under 6-BA treatment. Among these, 79% were differentially expressed between alleles in P. tomentosa, and 102,819 allele-specific expression (ASE) loci in 19,200 genes were detected showing differences in ASE levels after 6-BA treatment. Combined DNA methylation and gene expression analysis demonstrated that DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating allele-specific gene expression. To further investigate the relationship between these 6-BA-responsive genes and phenotypic variation, we performed SNP analysis of 460 6-BA-responsive DMRs via re-sequencing using a natural population of P. tomentosa, and we identified 206 SNPs that were significantly associated with growth and wood properties. Association analysis indicated that 53% of loci with allele-specific expression had primarily dominant effects on poplar traits. Our comprehensive analyses of P. tomentosa DNA methylation and the regulation of allele-specific gene expression suggest that DNA methylation is an important regulator of imbalanced expression between allelic loci.

description: Inuvialuit, a self-identified group of Inuit in Canada's western Arctic, are experiencing impacts from climate change in the context of multiple climatic and non-climatic stressors already affecting their lives and livelihoods. To support adaptation that enables Inuvialuit to maintain their traditional practices while improving their livelihoods, decision makers need to understand the role that multiple stressors have in influencing how Inuvialuit experience and respond to climate change. This thesis employs a vulnerability approach to understand how multiple stressors influence adaptation to climate change through a case study of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories, Canada. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with community members (n=28), participant observation, and analysis of secondary sources. Findings indicate that Inuvialuit in Paulatuk are dealing with a wide range of climate and non-climate related stressors operating at multiple temporal and spatial scales. These include issues related to a mixed economy, environmental conditions, institutional education, changes in wildlife, housing shortages, new technologies, and addictions. This research suggests that non-climatic stressors represent strategic entry points to support adaptation and build resilience to deal with current and expected future climate risks.

description: Chlamydia are intracellular pathogens that infect a broad range of host species including humans and koalas. Depending on the bacterial strain, chlamydial infections can lead to severe reproductive or ocular disease, potentially resulting in infertility or blindness. Many infections are subclinical and may persist, complicating control strategies for this pathogen. Vaccination is a potential control strategy that could result in protecting vaccinated individuals against Chlamydia-related disease. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate efficacy of candidate Chlamydia vaccines using novel biostatistical approaches to determine the effects of vaccination on measures of success, including changes in chlamydial load, host immune cytokine expression or anti-Chlamydia antibody production, and chlamydial disease. Vaccination success can be measured for its protective (against pathogen infection or disease from non-disease hosts) or therapeutic effect (reducing pathogen shedding or disease from diseased hosts). An additional research chapter using similar methodologies and focussing on Chlamydia, but departing from the vaccine focus, evaluated epidemiological factors likely to affect repeat chlamydial infection in women in Australia.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Sanitary and Municipal.

description: The respiration rate has generated much interest as a means of monitoring and controlling the activated sludge process because it is directly associated with both biomass growth and substrate removal. Respirometry has long been recognized as a valuable tool for controlling the activated sludge process, and as a result, many respirometry-based control strategies have been proposed in the literature. This study has developed a benchmark and methodology for conducting simulation studies to test the proposed control strategies within a complete and consistent set of process conditions. The benchmark consists of a complete set of influent conditions, a standard activated sludge plant configuration, models for the activated sludge process and the secondary clarification process, as well as values for the model parameters and initial values for the state variables. The benchmark provided the framework for the development of the simulation-based methodology. The methodology uses the benchmark, and includes a set of guidelines for implementing a control strategy in the benchmark plant and a set of tests for evaluating the performance and benefits of a proposed control system. The benchmark and methodology were then applied to test selected control strategies from the literature. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Es fehle aber an einem konsistenten europäischen Ressourcenschutzrecht. Ungenutzte Potentiale des Ressourcenschutzes identifiziert das Gutachten unter anderem im Bereich des europäischen Abfall- und Vergaberechts. Schließlich wird eine Festlegung zahlenmäßiger EU-Ressourcenschutzziele für sinnvoll erachtet.

“Iraqi Freedom”: Counterhegemonic Narrations of the Occupation of Iraq from Blogs to Books
Creators: name: Maioli, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: The terrorist attacks of 9/11 made people look at the Web as a source of news and live accounts in an unprecedented way. It was during the subsequent  war on Iraq, however, when most professional journalists were embedded, that the internet finally became an established source of news in terms of news websites and, especially, of a new media merging journalism and life-narrative: blogs.  Several ‘warblogs’ were written by Iraqis in English, providing a view of the war and occupation “from within”, as well as a less prejudiced representation of Iraqis in particular and Muslim communities in general. Some of these ‘authentic’ voices were later absorbed into the mainstream when their war accounts were turned into books and packaged for new audiences. This paper focuses on two female blogs from Iraq, Baghdad Burning by Riverbend and IraqiGirl by HNK, discussing the way new media allow these women to articulate their voices and convey their identities in a way that also challenges dominant narrations of the war and occupation, as well as of Muslim women as passive and victims. While their blog narratives challenge the stereotypical notion of the Arab woman and a specific ‘exoticist’ imaginary, however, in becoming books their blogs are inevitably absorbed into hegemonic representations of Arab women as a consequence of the marketing practices surrounding the book as a consumer good, which are paradoxically promoted by Western ‘liberals’ trying to disseminate a specific counterhegemonic discourse of the war.

description: Transparency and open access in research are crucial to make the economy, medical services and thus society more effective and efficient. This applies to individual municipalities and regions within countries, nationwide, and ultimately also to the global society. The elephant in the room is evidently the ongoing climate change, as well as related global challenges and issues such as migration, environmental degradation, single nation economics, and conflict resolution. These topics are only partially separable; which is why transparent data collection and the utilisation of research results in our digital age are not only possible, but also urgently needed. Global threats and challenges resulting from climate change and political crises call for a new agenda to find solutions that work for not just a few but the global community. To provide more visibility and more opportunities to world-wide scientific discussions to African scientists we founded a region-specific preprint repository. Having a repository specific to the African research community can trigger interdisciplinary research within the continent as well as globally with research institutions overseas. The repository is a platform for African scientists to publish their research output immediately and free of cost. This makes it possible for them to receive feedback on their work, improve the manuscript for submission to a peer reviewed journal and identify potential collaboration partners for future projects. The repository can be used for project management in a local language for the manuscript to be submitted in a field specialized repository in English. We encourage submissions in languages that are commonly used by the scientific community in the respective country, such as English, French, Swahili, Zulu, Afrikaans, Igbo, Akan, or other native African languages. Researchers in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia now have the opportunity to find up to date research results through online publishing systems, databases and scientific service providers, make their own research output more visible and build transcontinental collaborations more effectively. Therefore, practiced Open Science allows for more diversity in research output and the convergence of the global scientific community.

Éthique et politique chez Emmanuel Lévinas.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: L'erreur du vingtième siècle a été de croire que l'on devait dissocier le politique de sa dimension éthique. On a donc cherché la transcendance ailleurs: dans un enchaînement au corps ou à l'idéologie. On a voulu dépasser l'humain en le replongeant plus profondément dans son être, avec les conséquences désastreuses qu'une telle approche a pu engendrer. Pour Lévinas, il est temps de pénétrer le politique de la préoccupation éthique; au nom du refus de la violence totalitaire, c'est la justice envers l'Autre, et non pas l'anonymat d'une raison impersonnelle, qui doit guider nos esprits et inspirer nos actions. Ainsi, proposant une réflexion s'ancrant dans la responsabilité infinie envers autrui, altruisme propre à l'enseignement du Premier Testament, Lévinas est généralement considéré comme un penseur de l'éthique. Et pourtant, reconnaît l'auteur, l'Autre n'est jamais seul: le sujet aperçoit dans les yeux d'autrui un tiers qu'il doit également servir. Il doit alors étendre à tous son dévouement absolu, il doit comparer les incomparables. Le politique chez Lévinas est précisément cet espace de questionnement où se pose la double exigence d'une responsabilité infinie envers l'Autre absolu et la présence d'un tiers commandant le même dévouement. Le politique n'est donc pas absent de la philosophie lévinassienne, mais il émerge de l'éthique et doit en tout temps demeurer subordonné à son exigence. Est-ce à dire qu'il ne constitue qu'une catégorie de l'éthique? Certes le politique est issu de l'éthique et orienté vers l'horizon de sa justice, mais étant une contrainte inéluctable de ce monde que l'humanité doit assumer seule, il est simultanément séparé de l'éthique. Le politique, chez Lévinas, est à la fois dépendant et indépendant de l'éthique.

description: In this thesis we considered a simulation platform for mobile robots algorithms: Sycamore. We implemented several new features for Sycamore and we tested them while studying three different algorithms to achieve gathering by robots with limited visibility: a deterministic well known algorithm, a simple new probabilistic algorithm, and a combination of the two. The deterministic algorithm is known to achieve exact gathering when there are no faults; we tested it for the first time in presence of crashes and observed interesting and unexpected behaviors. We then performed extensive simulations with the probabilistic solution to identify the cause of an unexpected high rate of success, the simulations help us identify the relation between the rate of success and the initial configuration. Finally, we combined the two designing a hybrid solution. This work resulted in improvements of Sycamore, which can now be better employed to study mobile robots algorithms, as well as in empirical observations leading to new theoretical problems to be investigated.

description: The use of cold water immersion (CWI) for post-exercise recovery has become increasingly prevalent in recent years with the aim to promote recovery following intense periods of training and competition. There is considerable variance reported with regards to the performance recovery benefits of CWI, and this is often attributed to differences in the CWI protocol (e.g. water temperature, immersion duration, immersion depth or mode of immersion), and type of exercise used (e.g. endurance vs sprint events). Individual differences may also impact this variance (e.g. age, gender, body size and composition, etc.); however, to date these factors have received little attention. This thesis aimed to examine how differences in CWI protocols and individual body size and composition may impact physiological and performance responses to post-exercise CWI. A series of three separate but related studies were conducted to further describe the physiological and performance responses to post-exercise CWI with the purpose of optimising the prescription of CWI for athletes.

description: The recent experience with the 2009 H1N1 pandemic has drawn attention to the need to better understand the public’s response to emergently released vaccines (ERV). This study applied a mixed methods approach to examine the causal pathways underlying the vaccination behaviour during a public health emergency. The integrated evidence from empirical and theoretical-based findings highlights a number of factors to consider in interventions to improve vaccination rates with an ERV. These factors include: 1) providing clear risk messages around the disease and the ERV, 2) improving accessibility to the vaccine, 3) encouraging primary healthcare providers to provide recommendations for vaccination, 4) implementing strategies to increase seasonal influenza vaccination prior to the next public health emergency, 5) developing strategies to target sub-populations more reluctant to accept an ERV. Developing theory-based interventions that are behaviour-specific may be more likely to result in behaviour change within the public in future emergency vaccination campaigns.

description: With the popularity of outdoor activities like hiking, the demands of certain types of employment, or being a student, an individual’s ability to carry a load is an important mobility consideration. By understanding the changes to an individual’s gait when supporting a backpack load, an individual’s ability to carry heavy loads for prolonged periods could be improved. Most biomechanical studies have examined the changes in able-bodied gait when carrying a load. However, research is lacking on the effect of backpack loads on amputee gait patterns. This project examined the effects of a backpack load on the gait patterns of unilateral transtibial amputees. Ten participants performed walking trials on four surfaces (level ground, uneven ground, walking up an incline, and walking down an incline), without a pack and with a pack. A total of 40 trials were collected per subject, with 10 trials collected on each surface. Three-dimensional motion data were collected with an eight-camera Vicon Motion Analysis system to describe limb motion as well as compare kinematic outcomes between tasks and conditions. Force platform data were collected during the level ground trials and used to calculate kinetic measures for both limbs. With the addition of the pack changes were seen on each surface, with different changes occurring to each limb. The ramp up surface created the most changes when comparing the two conditions. The only change seen across all four surfaces was a decrease in ankle dorsiflexion before push-off on the prosthetic limb. The two next most common changes were increases in knee and hip flexion during weight-acceptance.

description: The graphic report published in 2006 by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Coln, an adaptation from The 9/11 Report  by the National Commission on terrorist attacks upon the United States, was dedicated “to the memory of those who lost their lives”, hoping that it could help to better understand what happened that day and in the years leading up to it. Thus, using the rhetoric of terror as a guideline, memory seems to be the central aim of a book which longs to be “accessible to all”, in particular, to a new set of readers who could be interested in graphic narration. “Our goal (…) was not only to inform our fellow citizens about history but also to energize and engage them on behalf of reform and change, to make our country safer and more secure”,  so reads the Forward to Jacobson and Coln’s work. But is it true?

Creators: name: Botta, Enrico
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: The paper focuses on My City of Ruins, the song that Bruce Springsteen sang—ten days after the 09/11 terrorist attacks—for "America: A Tribute to Heroes" and that was released in the concept album The Rising in 2002. The essay aims to highlight how the song describes the post 09/11 New York City by opposing the themes of “ruins” and “utopia.” From a textual and musical point of view, My City of Ruins is, in fact, composed of a double structure that balances different feelings: the fear, pain, and loneliness of the victims, in the rock-blues first section; the faith, love, and hope, in the gospel second part. Furthermore, the paper tries to point out how My City of Ruins no longer describes the symbolic ruins of a foreign past—in line with the nineteenth and twentieth-century American cultural tradition of the Grand Tour—but defines the physical signs of a definitively collapsed “American dream,” which can survive only in a utopian and spiritual “Promised Land.”

Ground Zero/Fresh Kills: Cataloguing Ruins, Garbage, and Memory
Creators: name: Scarpino, Cinzia
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description:
The aim of this paper is to show how the rise and fall of the Twin Towers can be read in relation to the rise and fall of the Staten Island Fresh Kills landfill, how their destinies were entwined from the start, and how the immediate cultural response to the collapse of the former and the closing of the latter recurred to the form of catalogues of objects, words, and images. From this angle it will be possible to posit the events within a larger, if somewhat unusual, cultural frame encompassing the history of two different yet complementary symbols of New York up to 2001 (the WTC and Fresh Kills). From Don DeLillo’s Underworld (1997) and Falling Man (2007) through Holman, Steve Zeitlin e Joe Dobkin’s Crisis (2001-2002); from Art Spiegelman’s In the Shadows of No Tower (2004) to Artists Respond’s 9-11 (2002); from the New York Times to Bearing Witness to History, the 2003-2006 retrospective of the Smithsonian Museum, relevant collective or individual responses to the 2001 attacks took the form of a catalogue, a list, a vertical or horizontal juxtaposition of data, objects, and memories, evoking a suggestive parallel to the organizing principle of past relics collected in museums and garbage stratified in sanitary landfills.

The Health of Nations: Three Essays In Health Economics
Creators: name: Kayembe, Lidia
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2014
Subjects: efficiency
effectiveness
millennium development goals (MDG)
health MDG interventions

description: Three essays form this thesis which addresses the effectiveness of interventions aimed at attaining two health Millennium Development Goals (MDG) set by the United Nations: a 2/3rds reduction by 2015 of 1990 child mortality rates (MDG4) and 3/4th reduction of 1990 maternal mortality rates by the same date (MDG5). The first chapter assesses the relative efficiency of 85 countries at using these interventions for the reduction of child and maternal mortality. It teases out the extent to which mortality reduction is a result of the interventions themselves as opposed to the context in which they are implemented. A three step procedure which includes Data Envelopment Analysis indicates that efficiency is mainly driven by context. Chapter 2 addresses the association between the 2000-2008 rates of change of interventions and the rate of change of mortality. It uses finite mixture modeling to take account of the possibility that there may be underlying heterogeneity in the mortality reduction functions of the 32 sub-Saharan African countries studied. Results support this hypothesis and show that an intervention may exhibit increasing returns to scale in some countries and decreasing returns to scale in others. Chapter 3 assesses the link between interventions and mortality rates and examines cost minimizing scenarios for attaining MDG4 and MDG5 in 27 sub-Saharan African countries. Lagged data on interventions predicts mortality rates (by OLS) to take into account the potential reverse causality between the two. Results indicate that achieving MDG mortality targets at the least possible cost invariably requires very substantive increases in medical human resources, yet training physicians has not been the main objective of public health organizations. Furthermore, improving the context in which interventions are implemented - increasing female literacy or effectiveness of political stability- allows countries to reach mortality targets with substantially lower levels of interventions (including, much lower levels of physician density).

What the library did next: strengthening our visibility in research support
Creators: name: Parker, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Academic libraries have a long and proud history of supporting teaching and learning in universities. However, there is growing recognition that supporting research in line with their universities' expectations requires new approaches and different skills from librarians. Many Australian university libraries are now appointing specialised research librarians to take on these challenges. In this paper, we show the scope for libraries to commit to developing new customer-focussed services for researchers that ensure the importance of the academic library to institutional research, while taking into account stakeholder needs and organisational expectations.
Documenting Horror: The Use of Sound in Non-Fiction 9/11 Films
Creators: name: Schlotterbeck, Jesse
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: While conventional 9/11 documentaries focus on the most known and  visible images of the attack, three films that work against this  tendency, 9/11 (2002), 11'09''01 - September 11 (2002) and Fahrenheit  9/11 (2004), avoid the television news coverage of the towers and  portray the attacks primarily through sound.These films avoid or scantly interject the too familiar footage, working instead with the audio track’s ability to convey the horrors of the event.  By emphasizing sound, these films address a challenge familiar to documentary studies: how to appropriately represent a historical event whose tragic scale makes aesthetic representation questionable.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability: Environmental and social online disclosure by Australian gold mining companies
Creators: name: Helling-Benze, Annette
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2016
Subjects: corporate social responsibility
mining
CSR

description: For many years, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been under critical observation, particularly in environmentally sensitive industries such as mining. In response, mining companies voluntarily provide environmental and social information on their corporate websites. However, Australian investors do not make appreciable use of websites as their preferred source of information due to their general mistrust in corporate online information. In the light of national expectations and international requirements with regard to CSR online information, four research questions were developed. The first research question seeks to identify what Australian investors expect from environmental and social corporate initiatives and correspondent online disclosure. The second and third research questions deal with CSR information Australian gold mining companies disclose online and the differences in online disclosure related to leadership characteristics in the field. Finally, the fourth research question seeks to identify CSR online information needs of Australian investors. Using an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design, the thesis comprised qualitative interviews and website analysis as well as a quantitative survey. In-depth semi-structured interviews explored investors' expectations of CSR and sustainability initiatives in the Australian gold mining industry with regard to environmental and social disclosure on corporate websites. Corporate website sections were analysed using a linguistic approach to identify online communication strategies and the companies' stage of online disclosure. Finally, a survey was conducted to identify Australian investors' online information needs with regard to environmental and social disclosure, and demographic, descriptive and hierarchical cluster analyses were undertaken.
