加拿大的华人文学及其收藏

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Most Canadians have been proud of Canada’s “cultural mosaic”, benefiting from the contributions of the various ethnic and cultural communities in this country. This value derives from Canada’s background as a nation built on immigration. After Prime Minister Trudeau's "Announcement of Implementation of Policy of Multiculturalism within Bilingual Framework," at the House of Commons in 1971, Canada has become home to a more diverse population of readers and writers. The country's literature has been strongly influenced by international immigration. Each ethnic group has brought to Canada stories of its own background, as well as its own literary genres. Similarly, with the arrival of new Chinese immigrants during the past several decades, Chinese immigrants’ literature, including writings in Chinese, English and French started to appear and to develop in Canada. \nThis article discusses briefly the development of Chinese Canadians’ literature in Canada, the characteristics of Chinese immigrants’ writings, and some literary organizations in Canada which help Chinese writers to communicate and to exchange ideas. Finally, the article examines the collection status of Chinese Canadians’ writings and offers some suggestions to reinforce the collection in this field.加拿大作为移民国家，是一个承认与保留多元文化的社会，这为各族裔保留自己文化与传统提供了 \n较为优越的环境。1971 年，杜鲁多总理在国会中特别宣布了在英法双语的架构下推行多元文化，从 \n国家政策上明确了移民保障各自祖裔文化的权利。近年来，华人不仅成为了加拿大最大的移民群体， \n而且移民中受过高等教育，英法语基础良好的文学人才也在不断涌现。此外，随着许多中国移民在 \n经济和生活方面建立了较为稳定的基础，因此有机会与条件从事文学写作，将自己的经历和感受表 \n达出来。 \n本文简要地回顾华人文学的发展并介绍一些有代表性的作家，作品及其收藏状况，分析加华文学发 \n展的特点，以及加华文学在读者中引起的关注。本文作者对目前加拿大图书馆收藏华人文学的状况 \n进行了调查，并提出一些加强这方面馆藏的建议。
Validation of educational materials for an online course aimed at promoting water consumption among middle-school adolescents in Mexico

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Validating health-education materials prevents the dissemination of erroneous messages and enhances the effectiveness of health-promotion initiatives. Objective: To describe the validation process for five educational materials pertaining to an online course on the promotion of water consumption among Mexican adolescents. Methodology: One group of 13-15 experts (technical validation) and another of 13-39 adolescents (population validation) reviewed three infographs and two videos using digital tools. Five criteria were established for the evaluation: appeal, clarity, identification, acceptance and inducement to action. A performance index was developed based on two categories: strong or weak compliance with each criterion. Successful compliance was determined when 70% or more of responses fell within the strong-compliance category. Results: Between 80% and 100% of the experts and adolescents rated all materials in the strong-compliance category for appeal, acceptance, clarity and inducement to action. For identification, however, the experts accorded the three infographs low scores, with similar results obtained from the adolescents for the three infographs and one video. Conclusions: Validation of the course materials allowed for identifying their strengths and weaknesses, as well as for ascertaining their usefulness in promoting water consumption among Mexican adolescents.
Paradise Tossed: A Yuppie Creation Myth. (Original stories);

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Paradise Tossed: A Yuppie Creation Myth is a work of fiction. The genre is myth, and the viewpoint is distinctly feminine. All the writing in the eight traditional short stories and seventeen poems is distinguished by its accessibility to the reader. The myth traces the journey of a female avatar who takes form in several female representatives at various stages in a symbolic night-sea journey sometimes associated with creation myth. The progression is from a pre-mortal innocence, to an attempted return to nature and innocence characteristic of the 1960's hippies who were part of the back-to-the-land movement. The avatar then seeks fulfillment in the pursuit of material wealth. Disillusionment follows her attempt to return to the innocence of childhood. The various avatars are delineated as distinct individuals; their situations and the men with whom they are linked are variations on similar themes. The stories dramatize the complexities of male-female relationships under the duress of the modern inevitabilities of war and materialism, and the dissolution of traditional values governing those relationships. The form is myth, but the characters and the situations are grounded in reality. Tone ranges from lyricism in the beginning to cynicism in the middle of the work, and it ends in hope. Paradise Tossed winds down into a sense of mystery and awe. The reader will find that all the pieces are connected, not in a sequential way as in the chapters of a novel, but in recurring motifs. The symbols of the nuclear bomb, barrenness, darkness, and natural unrest are set in contrast to a peaceful cosmos, water, sunlight, animal life, flowers, and the characters themselves.
Glycosaminoglycans: potential determinants in cardiac morphogenesis.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Treatment of the embryonic heart shortly after looping with 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) primarily inhibited the secretion of hyaluronate by the myocardium, an event accompanied by delayed and reduced formation of AV cushion cells (valvular and septal primordia). Sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis (primarily chondroitin-6-sulfate and heparan sulfate) was not significantly reduced until after cushion cell formation, an event accompanied by their altered migratory behavior. Results thus support a causal relationship between the morphogenesis of cushion tissue and extracellular glycosaminoglycans.
Potential factors associated with knee pain in cyclists: a systematic review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Rodrigo Rico Bini, Alice Flores Bini La Trobe Rural Health School, La Trobe University, Flora Hill Campus, Bendigo, VIC, Australia Abstract: The potential factors associated with overuse injuries and pain in cyclists that are supported by evidence remain unclear. Our study aimed at assessing, using a systematic search of the most updated evidence, the main factors related to overuse knee-related pain and/or injuries in cyclists. The search assessed any potential mechanism related to knee pain or injury that could be used in the clinical practice. Databases were searched (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCO). Studies were included if they presented results from original studies. They had to include, preferably but not limited to, recreational and/or competitive cyclists with or without knee pain. Quality of articles was assessed. Eleven articles were deemed eligible for full text appraisal. Studies involved generally the assessment of biomechanical outcomes associated with knee pain in cyclists. Overall, studies showed that cyclists with knee pain present larger knee adduction and larger ankle dorsiflexion and differences in activation for hamstrings and quadriceps muscles. Unclear results were observed for knee moments and no differences were observed for knee flexion angle, tibiofemoral and patellofemoral forces. It is important to state that varied types of knee pain were mixed in most studies, with 2 focused on anterior-related pain. Cyclists with overuse-related pain or injuries on their knees presented an increased medial projection of their knees and an altered activation of the Vastus Medialis and Vastus Lateralis muscles. However, this limited evidence is based on retrospective studies comparing cyclists with and without pain, which limits the conclusion on how cyclists develop knee pain and what are the main options for treatment of knee pain.

Public art as a sociological phenomenon of the urban artistic environment

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The object of the study is contemporary works of public art installed in Russia and Europe. The subject of the study is the development trends of various forms of Western and Russian public art in its relationship with the urban environment. The purpose of the article is to analyze public art projects presented in the USA, Western Europe and Russia, determining their place in the urban space and their impact on public consciousness. Since this study is interdisciplinary in nature, its methodology involves the use of an integrated approach. In the work on the article, the methods of modern art history were used, aimed at theoretical and art criticism understanding of the period of development of the public art phenomenon. One of the key research methods was a sociocultural analysis, in which the author of the article examines the features of the relationship between Western and Russian public art works with the urban environment, revealing the patterns of their historical development and the reasons for their actualization in the space of a modern city. The semiotic method made it possible to interpret public art objects in terms of their meanings and cultural patterns, which are significant for the construction of urban space. The research materials have theoretical and practical significance and can be used in the preparation of lecture courses, scientific research, publication of materials for art historians, cultural experts, historians and philosophers involved in the study of the phenomenon of public art. Considering public art in a historical and cultural context using the works of American, European and Russian artists as an example, he proves that art objects installed in city blocks are part of the modern urban environment and, having fit into the broad context of visual art, coexist in union with urban design and national the specifics of the region. But if public art in the West tries to solve the material problems of citizens, then Russian artists working in the style of public art strive to create an atmosphere of intellectual development and emotional experience.
Denoising Noisy Neural Networks: A Bayesian Approach With Compensation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Deep neural networks (DNNs) with noisy weights, which we refer to as noisy neural networks (NoisyNNs), arise from the training and inference of DNNs in the presence of noise. NoisyNNs emerge in many new applications, including the wireless transmission of DNNs, the efficient deployment or storage of DNNs in analog devices, and the truncation or quantization of DNN weights. This paper studies a fundamental problem of NoisyNNs: how to reconstruct the DNN weights from their noisy manifestations. While all prior works relied on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation, this paper puts forth a denoising approach to reconstruct DNNs with the aim of maximizing the inference accuracy of the reconstructed models. The superiority of our denoiser is rigorously proven in two small-scale problems, wherein we consider a quadratic neural network function and a shallow feedforward neural network, respectively. When applied to advanced learning tasks with modern DNN architectures, our denoiser exhibits significantly better performance than the ML estimator. Consider the average test accuracy of the denoised DNN model versus the weight variance to noise power ratio (WNR) performance. When denoising a noisy ResNet34 model arising from noisy inference, our denoiser outperforms ML estimation by up to 4.1 dB to achieve a test accuracy of 60%.When denoising a noisy ResNet18 model arising from noisy training, our denoiser outperforms ML estimation by 13.4 dB and 8.3 dB to achieve test accuracies of 60% and 80%, respectively.
Use of copper slag in concrete production – a sustainable solution for solid waste management

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In India, the construction activities are increasing day by day and as a result, the natural sand has become scare and costly material. To meet this increase in demand one has to go for excessive mining of river bed and that leads to natural imbalance. Therefore reducing the consumption of natural sand in construction is a major issue considering both the environment and economic issues. To balance the demand one has to go for sustainable unconventional innovative materials and particularly the industrial by products where there mass disposal and solid waste management is the problem. Copper slag is one of the industrial by-product obtained during manufacture of copper. This paper presents the experimental results on concrete made of copper slag. Mechanical properties like compressive strength, abrasion resistance and durability properties like acid resistance were carried out. The test results shows the concrete containing copper slag as fine aggregate has good strength and properties and the copper slag replacement level can be limited to 40-60% (by weight).
Clinical Observations on Eosinophilic Meningitis and Meningoencephalitis caused by Angiostrongylus Cantonensis on Taiwan

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

One hundred and twenty-five patients with eosinophilic meningitis or meningoencephalitis were studied in southern Taiwan in 1968 and 1969. The majority of patients had mild to moderate disease, but several had severe manifestations. Four patients died and three others had severe permanent sequelae such as blindness. Young adult Angiostrongylus cantonensis were recovered from nine patients, at autopsy in one, and from the cerebrospinal fluid of eight who survived. The clinical manifestations of cases of proven etiology were similar to those of cases from which parasites were not recovered and it is believed that the latter also were the result of infection with A. cantonensis.
Using Psychology to Teach Psychology

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Research on teacher subject knowledge has shown that teachers need not only knowledge and understanding of the subject they teach, but also how to teach it (Ofsted 2019). This chapter focuses on the importance of using the science of learning in teaching your students. An appreciation of how to manage the cognitive load of students will help them to access the topics and threshold concepts that underpin psychology. Additionally, in order to maximise long term retention of knowledge, we explore how to implement dual coding, spaced practice and the use of retrieval practice to improve students' memory of what they have been taught. All of these strategies will promote higher level thinking in your students as they encourage them to actively think about psychology in new and productive ways.
Hyperthermia Induces Apoptosis in Thymocytes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Mild hyperthermia (43 degrees C for 1 h) induces extensive double-stranded DNA fragmentation and, at a later time, cell death in murine thymocytes. The cleavage of DNA into oligonucleosome-sized fragments resembles that observed in examples of apoptosis including radiation-induced death of thymocytes. Following hyperthermia, incubation at 37 degrees C is necessary to detect DNA fragmentation, although protein and RNA synthesis do not seem to be required. Two protein synthesis inhibitors, cycloheximide and emetine, and two RNA synthesis inhibitors, actinomycin D and 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole, do not inhibit DNA fragmentation or cell death in heated thymocytes at concentrations which significantly block these effects in irradiated thymocytes. We have used this difference in sensitivity to show that the DNA fragmentation induced in thymocytes which are irradiated and then heated seems to be caused only by the heating and not by the irradiation.

Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of cocrystallization and phase segregation phenomena of polyethylene blends between the D and H species as viewed from DSC, FTIR and synchrotron X‐ray scattering

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Cocrystallization and phase segregation phenomena of polyethylene (PE) blends between fully deuterated high‐density PE (DHDPE) and hydrogeneous PE with various degrees of ethyl branching have been investigated on the basis of DSC, FTIR, synchrotron X‐ray scattering, and neutron scattering measurements. When the blend between DHDPE and linear‐low‐density PE [LLDPE(2) with 17 ethyl branches/1000 carbons is cooled slowly from the molten state, it exhibits an almost perfect cocrystallization of the D and H species in the same crystalline lamellae. For the blends of DHDPE with LLDPE(3) with higher branching content (41 branches/1000C) or with HDPE without branching, the cocrystallization and/or phase segregation phenomena have been observed to vary systematically depending on the D/H content and on the crystallization condition. The spatial arrangement of the D and H stems in the lamella, the aggregation state of the lamellae in the spherulites, etc. were investigated for these blend samples. Differences in crystallization behavior between the meltcooled sample and the solution‐grown sample were clarified on the basis of DSC, FTIR, and X‐ray diffraction data. The time‐resolved FTIR and small‐angle X‐ray scattering measurements have revealed that the crystallization rate is one of the important factors to govern the cocrystallization and phase segregation phenomena in addition to the thermodynamic stability of the blends.
Modelling Trade Sector and Trade Shocks in a Small Open Economy

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The article examines the impact of external trade shocks on the economy of Sri Lanka, a small and open developing economy with high external trade intensity. Given a variety of specifications, we favour estimating both export demand and supply functions and an import demand function. Export demand depends on own price, world export prices and world income whereas export supply depends on own price, input prices and production capacity. Import demand is dependent on income and the relative price. Combining the trade sector with the rest of the economy, the article performs simulation experiments on external trade shocks. Results reveal that an increase in import prices has a significant impact on nominal variables and improves the current account of the balance of payments. An increase in world income has a highly persistent positive impact on the current account. Further, as these trade shocks affect the nominal sector of the economy greatly, measures should be taken to cushion any associated destabilizing impact on the economy. The results also imply that export sector businesses should have the flexibility to vary the production capacity in the face of such shocks.

Impact of internet and social media on organisational change of OTC medicines marketing management

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Pharmaceutical companies have been forced to change their approach to selling over-the-counter (OTC) medicines because of the increased pressure on sales margins. The development of Web 2.0, Web 3.0, and social media technologies allow low-cost online marketing, including e-commerce. An organisational adaptation has to cope with the changes in the OTC drug market is required because of the widespread use of the internet and social media. The increased importance of digital media for marketing has convinced the OTC medical industry to include the use of social media in its customer relationship management strategy. Qualitative research on the impact of the internet and social media on the marketing of organisational change management for OTC medicines is based on new-age digital marketing, which is replacing Kotler's 4 P's of marketing (product, price, place and promotion). This paper has found a high correlation between anchoring theory, data analysis, and theoretical returns that accrue by linking research findings, practical initiatives, and internet and social media operating guidelines in the pharmaceutical industry.
Classification of physical activity intensities using a wrist‐worn accelerometer in 8–12‐year‐old children

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Summary Background Population‐specific accelerometer cut‐points are required to accurately determine the accumulation of physical activity of various intensities. Objectives A calibration study was conducted (i) to determine the cut‐points for the ActiGraph GT3X+ , non‐dominant, wrist‐mounted accelerometer in children aged 8–12 years and (ii) to compare classification accuracies among the accelerometer's three axes and vector magnitude ( VM ) values. Methods Forty‐five children aged 8–12 years performed up to seven activities while wearing accelerometers on their non‐dominant wrist. Activities were performed in a summer day camp setting, represented free‐living activities, and lasted for 10 min with minutes 5–8.5 used for analysis. Direct observation and percentage of heart rate reserve were used to determine activity intensity. Results R eceiver operator characteristic ( ROC ) analyses resulted in area under the curve values of all three axes and VM ranging 0.82–0.89, 0.80–0.83, 0.62–0.67 and 0.86–0.89 for light, moderate, vigorous and moderate‐to‐vigorous activity intensities. Additionally, regression analyses resulted in prediction equations with R 2 values ranging from 0.70 to 0.77. Conclusion Results found comparable activity intensity classification accuracies from the ActiGraph GT3X+ wrist‐worn accelerometer to previously published studies. Based on ROC and regression analyses, activity intensities can be distilled from this accelerometer using axis 1, axis 2 or VM values with similar classification accuracy.
Active Provenance for Data-Intensive Workflows: Engaging Users and Developers

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present a practical approach for provenance capturing in Data-Intensive workflow systems. It provides contextualisation by recording injected domain metadata with the provenance stream. It offers control over lineage precision, combining automation with specified adaptations. We address provenance tasks such as extraction of domain metadata, injection of custom annotations, accuracy and integration of records from multiple independent workflows running in distributed contexts. To allow such flexibility, we introduce the concepts of programmable Provenance Types and Provenance Configuration. Provenance Types handle domain contextualisation and allow developers to model lineage patterns by re-defining API methods, composing easy-to-use extensions. Provenance Configuration, instead, enables users of a Data-Intensive workflow execution to prepare it for provenance capture, by configuring the attribution of Provenance Types to components and by specifying grouping into semantic clusters. This enables better searches over the lineage records. Provenance Types and Provenance Configuration are demonstrated in a system being used by computational seismologists. It is based on an extended provenance model, S-PROV.
