Abstract:

Throughout history, a well maintained and functioning infrastructure has successfully contributed to Canada's international competitiveness and high standards of living, however, this infrastructure has deteriorated significantly and it poses a threat to Canada's productivity, international competitiveness, economic development and the quality of life of all Canadians. Neglect of Canada's infrastructure over the past several decades has resulted in accelerated deterioration and has caused many assets to become obsolete, unsafe or no longer serviceable long before the end of their service life.

Abstract:

This is an inter-disciplinary thesis that uses social science methodology to examine the impact of ethics, privacy and trust in areas as apparently diverse as online advertising, national security surveillance measures, and the protection of critical infrastructures. The issues examined range from behavioural advertising to the public reaction to revelations of mass data surveillance by government security agencies. Academic research on privacy and the threat to users posed by vast amounts of personal information available online is summarised, along with challenges this poses for legislators.

Abstract:

This thesis concerns itself with the changes wrought by the movement from analog to digital spaces. These changes are mirrored by changes in the way states practice sovereignty. Examples of new practices of sovereignty are found in the documents of the National Information Infrastrucure Advisory Council. Close analysis of these examples reveals the disciplinary projects of spatial (re)construction implied by these new practices. The effects of these types of spatial disciplinarity on individual subjectivities are also discussed.<br>Master of Arts

Spatial data is a vital national resource necessary for a country’s efficient and sustainable economic, social and environmental development, and so must be properly developed and managed. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), there is lack of knowledge and no clear framework describing the optimal way for stakeholders, users, providers or administrators, to collaborate effectively in establishing a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). Moreover, the complex, multi-layer and multi-jurisdiction system of government leads to competing interests and mandates in coordinating spatial activit

British electrification began in the 1880s but it was the late 1920s before the 'GridIron' was constructed providing the capacity for uniformly accessible electricity. This enabled electricity to touch people's lives in the intimacy of their own homes, and provided cheaper electricity to workplaces, causing a shift from local suppliers to national coordination. Consequences for pollution, its visual impact on rural and urban landscapes, and an unparalleled and rapid intrusion on property rights were considered at the time. It was these effects that were the most controversial, although the dam

This dissertation addresses specific issues on domestic and foreign trade in India. The three chapters of the dissertation are summarized as follows. In the first chapter, we analyze the existence of regional wage differences across Indian states, and how domestic trade affects those premiums. We follow a two-step estimation process used in the literature on Labor Economics. Our empirical results show that higher level of domestic imports tends to reduce the state premiums, and higher domestic exports increase those premiums, which is consistent with a specific factor Ricardo-Viner model.

Abstract:

The study sought to uncover the constitution of migrant women's agency as they rebuild their lives in Australia, and to explore how contact with any publicly funded services might influence the capacity to be self determining subjects. The thesis used a framework of lifeworld theories (Bourdieu, Schutz, Giddens), materialist, trans-national feminist and post colonial writings, and a methodological approach based on critical hermeneutics (Ricoeur), feminist standpoint and decolonising theories. Thirty in depth interviews were carried out with 6 women migrating from each of 5 regions: Vietnam,

Abstract:

La modification d’habitats est un enjeu critique en conservation et la construction de routes y contribue grandement par la destruction et la fragmentation d’habitats. La construction de passages fauniques sous la route, ou « écopassages » peut réduire les impacts négatifs des routes sur les populations animales. Quatre écopassages à amphibiens associés à un réseau de clôtures d’exclusion ont été installés sous la route et sous une piste cyclable à proximité de sites de reproduction sur un tronçon de 22 km traversant le parc national Kouchibouguac au Nouveau-Brunswick. En 2017 et 2018, nous av
