Abstract:
Background: Despite the overrepresentation of immigrants and refugees (newcomers) in the HIV epidemic in Canada, research on their HIV treatment outcomes is limited. This study addressed this knowledge gap by describing treatment outcomes of newcomers in comparison with Canadian-born persons living with HIV in Manitoba. Methods: Clinical data from 1986 to 2017 were obtained from a cohort of people living with HIV and receiving care from the Manitoba HIV Program. Retrospective cohort analysis of secondary data was completed using univariate and multivariate statistics to compare differences in socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes among newcomers, Canadian-born Indigenous persons, and Canadian-born non-Indigenous persons on entry into HIV care. Results: By end of 2017, 86 newcomers, 259 Canadian-born Indigenous persons, and 356 Canadian-born non-Indigenous persons were enrolled in the cohort. Newcomers were more likely than Canadian-born Indigenous and non- Indigenous cohort participants to be younger and female and have self-reported HIV risk exposure as heterosexual contact. Average CD4 counts at entry into care did not differ significantly between groups. A higher proportion of newcomers was also diagnosed with tuberculosis within 6 months of entry into care (21%), compared with 6% and 0.6% of Canadian-born Indigenous non-Indigenous persons, respectively. Newcomers and Canadian-born non-Indigenous persons had achieved viral load suppression (< 200 copies/mL) at a similar proportion (93%), compared with 82% of Canadian-born Indigenous participants ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: The distinct demographic and clinical characteristics of newcomers living with HIV requires a focused approach to facilitate earlier diagnosis, engagement, and support in care.

Abstract:
Demographic changes in the Canadian population have also brought a more diverse community of learners to French immersion programs. This study responds to the changes in the immersion student population by comparing the French and English proficiency of three groups: Canadian-born English-speaking students, Canadian-born multilingual students and immigrant multilingual students in Grade 6 early French immersion. The quantitative data from English and French tests showed that the immigrant group outperformed the Canadian-born English speaking and the Canadian-born multilingual groups on French proficiency measures of reading, writing, and speaking, whereas there were no significant differences among the groups on the English test components.

Abstract:
Abstract Background There are limited data about the relationship of child’s birthplace, parents’ birthplace, and travel history to paediatric tuberculosis (TB) acquisition and disease phenotype in Canada. Travel history is not routinely collected by public health authorities for cases of TB in Canada. Objectives The objective of this study is to investigate the association of paediatric TB acquisition and disease phenotype at a metropolitan Canadian children’s hospital with child’s birthplace, parents’ birth place, and travel history. Design/Methods We reviewed prospectively collected TB clinic data (which include travel histories) and records of patients aged 0-17 years managed for active TB disease at a children’s hospital ambulatory TB clinic between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2018. Results Two hundred and twenty six cases were identified, of which 116 (51%) were Canadian-born and 110 (49%) were foreign born children. Of the Canadian-born cases, only one case had parents who were both Canadian-born. In comparison to foreign-born patients, Canadian-born patients were more likely to have a history of travel to a TB-endemic country (63/104) [61%] versus (25/103) [24%], odds ratio [OR] 4.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.6-8.7 p<0.001. Canadian-born patients were also more likely to have a known index case (80/116) [69%] versus foreign-born patients (23/110) [21%], OR 8.4; 95% CI 4.5-15.4, p<0.001. For Canadian-born patients, those without a known index case were more likely to have a history of travel to a TB-endemic country than those with a known index case (28/34) [82%] versus (35/70) [50%], [OR] 4.7 95% CI 1.7-12.7, p=0.02. Compared to Canadian-born patients, foreign-born patients had more extrapulmonary disease (48/109) [44%] versus (19/114) [17%], OR 3.9; 95% CI 2.1-7.3, p <0.001. Conclusion Canadian-born children often acquired TB through contact with an infectious source in Canada. However, travel was likely important in a significant minority of cases, especially in Canadian-born children without a known index case. Post-immigration travel may also have been the source of TB in some foreign-born individuals. This would reduce the effectiveness of screening children for TB infection upon immigration. Strategies to prevent and detect travel-related TB are needed to reduce paediatric TB in areas with high immigration rates.

Abstract:
This phenomenological study provided an in-depth description of the internal meaning of the lived experiences of Canadian-born and foreign-born Chinese students in Canada and uncovered the differences in their social experiences. The study used semi-structured interviews to allow the participants to express their views on their lives in Northern Ontario, Canada. Four themes emerged: (a) perceptions of ethnic identity; (b) cultural integration; (c) perceptions of academic performance and (d) the effect of Canadian education on career options. The study revealed that Canadian-born Chinese students differed from their foreign-born counterparts in their viewpoints on ethnic identity; their perceptions concerning acculturation; and academic performance. They shared similarities in their views about Canadian and Chinese educational systems, teaching styles, and their career expectations.

Abstract:
SummaryA growing body of research often indicates that immigrant populations in Western countries enjoy a lower level of mortality in relation to their native-born host populations. In this literature, sex differences in mortality are often reported but substantive analyses of the differences are generally lacking. The present investigation looks at sex differences in life expectancy with specific reference to immigrant and Canadian-born populations in Canada during 1971 and 2001. For these two populations, sex differences in expectation of life at birth are decomposed into cause-of-death components. Immigrants in Canada have a higher life expectancy than their Canadian-born counterparts. In absolute terms, immigrant females enjoy the highest life expectancy. Inrelativeterms, however, immigrant men show a larger longevity advantage, as their expectation of life at birth exceeds that of Canadian-born men by a wider margin than do foreign-born females in relation to Canadian-born females. It is also found that immigrants have a smaller sex differential in life expectancy as compared with the Canadian born. Decomposition analysis shows this is a function of immigrants having smaller sex differences in death rates from heart disease and cancer. Factors thought to underlie these differentials between immigrants and the Canadian born are discussed and suggestions for further research are given.

Abstract:
This article uses the Public Use Sample file of the 1986 Canadian census to characterize and explain the interprovincial migration patterns of the foreign-born in Canada. Simple overall in- and outmigration rates are calculated for the foreign-born and compared to the interprovincial migration rates for Canadian-born migrants, specifically primary, return and onward migrants. A two-level nested logit model is then applied for foreign-born migrants age 20–64 to study the effects of personal factors and provincial attributes on their interprovincial migration patterns. The foreign-born have higher in- and outmigration rates than primary migrants, with Ontario having a strong ability to attract and retain the foreign-born. Despite these differences, the foreign-born respond to economic variables in a rational way and relatively little of the migration decision process can be explained by place-of-birth effects. Selectivity with respect to personal factors (i.e., education, age, sex, family type) is similar to the Canadian-born.

Abstract:
Context 
 The Canadian reality of dementia care may be complicated by the cultural diversity of patients and their informal caregivers.
 Objectives 
 To what extent do needs differ between Canadian- and foreign-born patients and caregivers? What are their experiences with the illness in primary care case management?
 Methods 
 Mixed methods, sequential explanatory design (a cross-sectional study, followed by a qualitative descriptive study), involving 15 pairs of patients and caregivers.
 Results 
 Foreign-born patients had more needs compared to their Canadian-born counterparts. Foreign-born caregivers reported more stress, more problems, and increased need for services. However, the reported experiences of Canadian- vs. foreign-born individuals were similar.
 Conclusion 
 The results remain hypothesis-generating. The present pilot illustrated the suitability of mixed methods to this area of study, which deserves further investigation to better serve all mem­bers of a population already vulnerable by age and disease.

Abstract:
Purpose Foreign-born families face challenges following migration to Canada that may impact their well-being and lead them to homelessness. Yet, there is limited research on the experience of homelessness in this population. The purpose of this paper is to examine the health of foreign-born families staying in the emergency shelter system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and compare their experiences to Canadian-born homeless families who are also living in shelters. Design/methodology/approach Interviews were conducted with 75 adult heads of families who were residing in three family shelters. This study focused on mental and physical health functioning, chronic medical conditions, access to care and diagnoses of mental disorders. Findings Foreign-born heads of families reported better mental health than did Canadian-born heads of families with a significantly lower proportion of foreign-born participants reporting having been diagnosed with a mental disorder. Foreign-born heads of families also reported fewer chronic medical conditions than did Canadian-born heads of families. Research limitations/implications This study relied on self-reported health and access to healthcare services. Data were drawn from a small, non-random sample. Originality/value This study is one of the first studies to examine the health and well-being of homeless foreign-born heads of families. Moreover, this paper also focuses on disparities in health, diagnoses of mental disorders, and access to healthcare services between foreign-born and Canadian-born families – a comparison that has not been captured in the existing literature.

Abstract:
Population-based molecular epidemiologic studies of tuberculosis have been widely performed to assess the burden of ongoing TB transmission within a population. By genotyping M. tuberculosis isolates (M.TB), cases with matching DNA "fingerprints" are inferred to be due to ongoing transmission, and those with non-matching or "unique" fingerprints are inferred to represent re-activation disease. Two population-based molecular epidemiologic studies using three genotyping methods (IS6110 RFLP, spoligotyping and MIRU) are presented here. The first study examines all TB cases among the Inuit community if Nunavik, Quebec (1990-2000). Our analysis identified previously unrecognized inter-village transmission and estimated that at least 65% of TB cases were due to ongoing transmission. The second study is a case-control study that examines a pyrazinamide-resistant (PZA-R) M.TB strain present in the Canadian-born population (1990-2000). We observed that 77 PSA-R TB cases shared a common mutation conferring the PZA resistance. In this low-incidence setting, the cases were most likely due to reactivation from a common but old PZA-R M.TB strain in the absence of significant ongoing transmission. In contrast to the Inuit case-study where 76% of cases had matching genotypes across all three modalities, only 19% of PZA-R cases and 13% of Canadian-born controls were clustered by the same analysis. The utility of cluster analysis in the understanding of the transmission patterns of TB in these two different populations are compared and discussed.

Abstract:
This thesis is a critical examination of newspaper coverage of Canadian-born cases of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) discovered between May 2003 and December 2005. Data for the thesis has been compiled from three newspapers: the Edmonton Journal, the Calgary Herald, and the Globe & Mail. The Alberta newspapers were chosen for their proximity to the BSE discoveries, and the Globe & Mail was chosen for the national focus of its coverage. Using Fairclough’s method of ordering discourses, I examine three discourses prominently featured in the coverage: the political discourse, the science discourse, and the socio-cultural discourse. I analyse the three discourses independently, incorporating relevant theory to further explicate the discourses. The primary focus of the thesis is on the newspaper coverage of the first Canadian-born BSE case, but newspaper coverage of additional discoveries are included to examine how the BSE media package changed over time.

Abstract:
The work participation rate is one of the most important factors that affects the Canadian economy and early retirement can have an important negative impact on this rate. This paper focuses on differences in the preferences for the age of retirement of immigrants and Canadian-born workers. Based on a very large dataset from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), a probit model is used to estimate the probability of retirement for both immigrants and Canadian-born workers at different age ranges. The main results suggest that immigrants tend to retire at an older age than Canadian-born workers. This result is consistent with the first assumption that immigrants are willing to work longer to increase their CPP and their personal saving, and the second assumption that immigrants have a potential better health status, which could also lead to a later retirement.

Abstract:
A population-based research of rates and patterns of mental health service utilization of Chinese in British Columbia was conducted by secondary analyses of three linked administrative data systems and a survey database. The three data systems comprised the federal immigration database, provincial healthcare databases and the provincial physicians register. The linkage resulted in a study population of more than 150,000 Chinese immigrants and each immigrant was matched by sex and age to a comparison subject randomly selected from the province’s health plan registry. The survey database was the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.1 consisting of 18,000 respondents in British Columbia including 1084 ethnic Chinese. Results from the administrative databases showed that Chinese immigrants had much lower rates of utilization of all types of mental health services. Factors associated with mental health visits to general practitioners and psychiatrists by these Chinese immigrants included years since landing, rate of non-mental health visits, age, place of origin, education, marital status, English language skill and health service delivery area. Among a smaller cohort of 786 Chinese immigrants and 3962 comparison subjects diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, Chinese immigrants also had lower rates of utilization of all types of mental health services. The severely ill Chinese immigrants were also less likely than comparison subjects to receive comorbid diagnoses of less serious mental disorders. The majority of the immigrants’ mental health care was provided by Chinese-speaking physicians. As a result of the practice pattern of these physicians, higher proportion of mental health care received from them was associated with lower odds of receiving diagnoses of some disorders. Results from the survey database showed that both immigrant and Canadian-born Chinese were less likely than the non-Chinese to have contacted mental health professionals, even after adjusting for their lower probability of suffering from major depression. This research confirms the disparity in mental health service utilization concerning Chinese in British Columbia and provides evidence that both lower psychiatric morbidity and cultural barriers contribute to this disparity. Findings support Andersen’s behavioural model of health care utilization and highlight the role of physician practice patterns in disparity.<br>Medicine, Faculty of<br>Population and Public Health (SPPH), School of<br>Graduate

Abstract:
This study uses a mixed methods approach to investigate an achievement gap observed in the reading of Canadian-born students with a first language other than English. Quantitative analyses of large-scale reading assessment data identified characteristics of these students and showed a relationship between reading levels and students’ home language environments. This relationship was further explored using a case study approach based on interviews with students and parents. Interviews revealed the role that parental language learning can play in children’s reading. The study revealed the relative invisibility of Canadian-born English language learners, and the consequent difficulties educators have responding to their English language learning needs. School registration data was shown to be an inaccurate indication of students’ home language use. The study’s findings point to the need for policies that support the systematic identification of Canadian-born English language learners and a deeper understanding of the language learning needs of these students-at-risk.

Abstract:
The study was to investigate the effectiveness of Sociocultural Competency Training (SCCT) as an intervention in enhancing self-efficacy among trainees in the health care profession. The purposes of the study were threefold: (a) to evaluate the effectiveness of the training in enhancing the trainees' self-efficacy and behavioural performance; (b) to examine their personal experiences in the learning ofthe sociocultural competencies, and (c) to identify the factors that contribute to effective outcomes. A sample of 84 participants in the Health Sciences program at the Vancouver Community College was recruited. There were 26 local born Canadians and 32 immigrants in the experimental group, whereas 11 local born Canadians and 15 immigrants were in the control group. Experimental group participants took part in an 18- hour training over a 6-week period as part of their regular Human Relations Skills course curriculum. The control group also took the same training course after post-test data collection. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. Self-efficacy and behavioural performance were assessed quantitatively by the results from the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), Situational Social Avoidance Scale (SSA), Social Self-Efficacy Scale (SSE), and Interpersonal Skills Checklist (ISC-33). Qualitative data was collected through written feedback from 28 participants and semi-structured interviewing with 24 volunteer interviewees in the experimental group. The results of this study supported the hypotheses that the Sociocultural Competency Training was effective in improving the interpersonal skills and lowering the social avoidance tendency among participants in the experimental group when compared to individuals in the control group. The hypothesis that there would be more significant change in participants' social self-efficacy was also supported. The Sociocultural Competency Training offered effective ways of helping people develop positive self-efficacy and behavioural competencies. Participants reported the training enabled them to have the sociocultural competencies to conduct their professional career in a multicultural community. In the future, the training can be used with high school students, college and university students, international students, professionals, business people, and expatriates who need to learn the sociocultural competencies for career success.

Abstract:
Prospective adoptive parents in British Columbia are required by provincial law to attend workshops on parenting. Key advice given to parents wishing to adopt transnationally, transracially, or both, suggests promoting a positive identity in their children; an identity founded on feelings of belonging within their own family, as well as an acknowledgment of their background. This advice is largely influenced by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, as well as Canada's national policy of multiculturalism. Bearing these external laws, policies, and ideologies in mind, this thesis explores how white Canadian parents who adopt black children from the United States respond to this advice. Within this thesis, I contextualize the adoption of black children from the United States by white Canadian parents in a local, national, international and global historical perspective.<br>Graduate

碩士<br>東海大學<br>企業管理學系碩士班<br>89<br>The purpose of this thesis is to explore consumer acculturation process in a multicultural context and the researcher proceeded from a consumer’s point of view via the issues of food consumption and leisure activities. . In particular, twenty-four American and Canadian born Chinese sojourners were used as the informants based on two categories, i.e. the length of stay in Taiwan (less than one year, one to four years, and over four years) and the purpose of stay (student vs. non-student). This thesis adopted a qualitative method in which in-depth interviews were conducted with the informants. A multidimensional perspective was later used in analyzing consumer acculturation in which the outcome of acculturation was discerned in terms of the ideological, the materialistic and the normative dimension, respectively or jointly. Four propositions are developed as follows: (1) length of stay has a significant effect on the level of acculturation; (2) venturesome spirit has an impact on the level of acculturation; (3) social network has an impact on the level of acculturation, and (4) modes of acculturation outcome can be further attributed to the dimensions of materialistic, normative and ideological dimensions.

It explains that digitization is the process of converting information into a computer-readable digital format, in which the outcome is the digital representation of objects, documents, and images. It also mentions Mirko Zardini, who explains that CCA curators and conservators do not consider it reasonable to digitize an entire archive. The chapter shows different challenges for born-digital archives and their preservation that sets new obstacles. It discusses the encounter between the computer, the new design and communication tools it affords, and architectural practice that resulted in a significant change.

Abstract:
At the 2004 Law and Diversity Conference in Toronto on the accreditation of foreign-trained immigrants in Canada, speaker Naomi Alboim called Canadian immigration policy “one of seduction and abandonment.” Seduction because skilled workers are selected as immigrants based on their high levels of education and experience, which leads them to expect that they will be able to apply these skills and experience in the Canadian labor market. Abandonment because, once in Canada, the immigrant workers receive little help with the accreditation of their education and professional certification, preventing them from applying their skills. Immigrants in regulated trades and professions such as the electrical trade, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and teaching often lose access to the occupations they previously held—an effect commonly known as “deskilling.” The abandonment of immigrants is not simply the result of inadvertent neglect and the failure of policy. It can also be interpreted as a systematic process of distinction and subordination. By excluding many skilled, foreign-trained immigrants from high-status occupations in Canada, the regulation of educational and professional credentials enables domestic-educated workers to dominate these occupations. The level of education among Canadian immigrants has steadily increased since the 1950s (Akabari 1999). Nevertheless, immigrants have failed to benefit from their educational attainments and have lower returns on their education than Canadian-born workers (Reitz 2001a, 2001b). Level of education, in fact, fails as an accurate predictor of labor market performance among immigrants (E. N. Thompson 2000). Similarly, the benefits immigrants receive for foreign work experience have deteriorated. In the 1960s, one year of foreign work experience was rewarded with an average 1.5 percent increase in earnings for immigrants. By the late 1990s, this wage increase dropped to only 0.3 percent (Statistics Canada 2004: 5). Furthermore, skilled immigrants require an increasing amount of time to catch up with the wages of Canadian workers with similar skills and education, if they catch up at all (Ley 1999). These national trends also apply to immigrants in Vancouver. Three-fourths of all immigrant professionals from India who settled in Vancouver experienced occupational downward mobility after their arrival in Canada.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the work of William Faulkner, describing him as a man of genius, although a willfully and perversely chaotic one. Faulkner was born in Oxford, Mississippi; in his vast work the provincial and dusty town, surrounded by the shanties of poor whites and Negroes, is the center of his fictional Yoknapatawpha County. During World War I, Faulkner enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He then became a poet, a journalist connected with New Orleans publications, and the author of famous novels and movie scenarios. In 1950 he was awarded the Nobel Prize. Faulkner represents in American letters that feudal and agrarian South which lost in the Civil War. Among his works are The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, and Intruder in the Dust.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of Rollerball, the 1975 dystopian science fiction film of Canadian-born director and producer Norman Jewison. Rollerball was based on a short story in Esquire magazine, ‘Roller Ball Murder’, by William Harrison. While the increasingly extreme nature of reality television remains a central framework within which to critically analyse Rollerball, the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States in November of 2016 opens up new ways of watching the film and heightens other ways in which it remains relevant. The most obvious of these is Rollerball's depiction of unchecked corporate power. Another aspect of Rollerball's narrative highlighted by the Trump presidency is the rise of so-called ‘fake news’. This book examines how the film simultaneously exhibits the cinematic aesthetics of mainstream, exploitation, and art-house cinema, in the process transcending its commercial prerogative of action entertainment to be a sophisticated and disturbing portrayal of a dystopian future.

Abstract:
Haida Didn’t Know it, but Bob Wright was thinking of setting him free. A longtime attraction at Wright’s Sealand of the Pacific, the male orca had reached twenty-three feet, and despite being paired with several females, he had failed to impregnate any of them. In June 1982, the oceanarium’s director, Angus Matthews, proposed an exchange to the Canadian government. In return for a permit to capture two young killer whales in local waters, Sealand would release Haida to the wild. It was a bold plan, made possible by recent scientific breakthroughs. Using Haida’s own calls, researchers had deduced that he was a member of L pod, one of the three southern resident pods identified and named by Mike Bigg. But the orca’s training for release would begin only after Sealand acquired new whales. Following a successful capture, Matthews explained, the oceanarium would move Haida to a pen in Pedder Bay, where the long-captive orca could learn to catch live fish and make acoustic contact with his family. But Matthews cautioned that success would ultimately depend on the whale himself. “Haida will be given his own choice,” he emphasized, “of joining his old pod and becoming a born-again whale, or returning to his friends at Sealand.” In late August, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO, formerly the Department of the Environment) approved the project and assigned Bigg to supervise it. The respected scientist cautioned the public that there was no guarantee Haida would survive, but he argued that the release “needs to be tried.” Critics disagreed. Some accused Sealand of plotting to abandon Haida now that he had served his purpose. Likening the plan to “throwing out the family pet when it is no longer young and amusing,” one local woman warned that Haida’s “trust in humans will probably result in a bullet from a gun-happy fisherman.” The fiercest opposition came from Greenpeace, which denounced the entire proposal. Declaring rehabilitation “unlikely,” Greenpeace Canada president Patrick Moore argued that to move the imprisoned whale to a “halfway house” in Pedder Bay would be “to condemn him to death—alone.”

Abstract:
Education is believed to play an essential role in creating a sense of belonging amongst adolescents from refugee backgrounds. This narrative inquiry study set out to better understand the influence that relationships formed in one Canadian school community played in the development of a sense of belonging amongst female adolescent students from refugee backgrounds. Study participants were from Middle Eastern and East African origin and had been living in Canada for two-years or less. Data were collected over a five-month period through two sets of interviews, and a series of observations. Findings indicated the students from refugee backgrounds sense of belonging in school was strengthened by strong relationships with teachers from whom they perceived a genuine sense of support and care, which resulted in higher academic achievement. The study also conveyed that students felt that their Canadian-born peers largely ignored them in class, which resulted in increased feelings of social isolation and lack of belonging. The female student experience was further influenced by additional familial obligations and responsibilities.
