Abstract:

Molecular-assisted alpha taxonomy using COI-5P and rbcL-3P was employed to reassess species diversity for the Rhodymeniales (Rhodophyta) in British Columbia. A total of 563 collections from British Columbia were resolved as 16 genetic species groups, whereas 13 were previously reported. Collections attributed to Botryocladia pseudodichotoma from British Columbia were resolved as distinct from collections of that species from California (type locality) and were assigned to Botryocladia hawkesii sp. nov. DNA sequence data also resolved an additional species of Fryeella. Although two species of Gloiocladia were recognized, genetic analyses resolved three: G. fryeana, G. laciniata, and Gloiocladia vigneaultii sp. nov. Data also resolved Gloiocladia media comb. nov. from California. For the genus Rhodymenia, where two species were expected, DNA sequence data resolved four. Both R. californica and R. pacifica were confirmed in British Columbia, whereas some collections field-identified as R. californica were genetically distinct and assigned to the novel species, Rhodymenia bamfieldensis sp. nov. Some collections initially identified as R. pacifica were assigned to the resurrected species R. rhizoides. Anatomical development for the monospecific genus Minium was also reassessed owing to that taxon’s assignment to the Fryeellaceae. Our investigation clarified the number of rhodymenialean species in British Columbia and resolved taxonomic and distributional uncertainties associated with some of these taxa.

Abstract:

AbstractIn order to explore the diffusion of the selected technologies in one Canadian province (British Columbia), two administrative data sets were analyzed. The data included over 40 million payment records for each fiscal year on medical services provided to British Columbia residents (2,968,769 in 1988) and information on physical facilities, services, and personnel from 138 hospitals in the province. Three specific time periods were examined in each data set, starting with 1979–80 and ending with the most current data available at the time. The detailed retrospective analysis of laboratory and imaging technologies provides historical data in three areas of interest: (a) patterns of diffusion and volume of utilization, (b) institutional profile, and (c) provider profile. The framework for the analysis focused, where possible, on the examination of determinants of diffusion that may be amenable to policy influence.

Abstract:

This article provides a critical analysis of British Columbia’s early learning curricula concerning 21st-century education and the role of digital technology in the early years. The data sources were the Premier’s Technology Council: A Vision for 21st-Century Education (Premier’s Technology Council, 2010), BC’s Education Plan (British Columbia Ministry of Education, 2011), and the Kindergarten Curriculum Package (British Columbia Ministry of Education, September 2010). Rapid advances in technology call for a review of traditional curriculum standards and active movement toward a realization of 21st-century education beyond mere vision. As children navigate an increasingly digital world, one with blurred lines between content and advertising, critical thinking and critical analysis skills are essential in order for children to effectively manage the vast amounts of information available to them. Educators and policy makers, through curricula developed reflecting digital media use, can play an important role in educating young, technologically engaged students.

Abstract:

Between 1965 and 1972 the provincial government of British Columbia introduced a new resource towns policy aimed at changing the relationship between corporations, the provincial government, and resource based settlements. The Instant Towns Act, together with the creation of new municipalities, represented a new level of government involvement and intervention in resource towns. The policy served to pass townsite costs from the companies to the workforce and to rationalise the further involvement of the state in resource extraction activities. The provincial government and the companies argued that a new settlements policy was necessary to replace the older model of company towns in order to attract a new and more stable labour force. At the same time as this policy was being shaped, the government was also engaged in developing industrial infrastructure to facilitate the expansion and the changing needs of capital. The Instant Towns Act of 1965 was part of the legislation for the expansion of large firms in the resource extraction sector. This form of infrastructure planning, to coincide with the changing structure of capital, reflects a level of state intervention in the economy of British Columbia, in other Canadian provinces, and indeed in most other western capitalist societies in recent years.

Abstract:

China’s recent interest and substantial investments in Canada’s natural resource sector have led some First Nations in British Columbia to undertake diplomatic activities to represent their interests to Chinese officials and investors. This article explores the interplay developing between the diplomatic activities of British Columbia’s First Nations and those of the Canadian state in the area of natural resource promotion. It does so by examining the diplomatic efforts of British Columbia’s First Nations Energy and Mining Council and the Canadian government’s Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with China. The article argues that this interplay represents a struggle over diplomatic representation, in which British Columbia’s First Nations challenge the Canadian state’s monopoly on the representation of indigenous interests abroad, whereas the Canadian state constantly reframes indigenous perspectives on international affairs as a matter of domestic jurisdiction, in order to re-ground its control over Canadian foreign diplomatic practices.

Full text

Abstract:

The genetic diversity and population structure of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) along the coasts of British Columbia and parts of Alaska were investigated using both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA. A 475-bp fragment of the mitochondrial control region was amplified and sequenced from 128 animals. Sixty variable sites defined 72 mtDNA haplotypes with pairwise nucleotide differences as high as 5%. Fifty-eight haplotypes were represented by a single individual, and shared haplotypes were generally restricted to a small geographic range. Phylogenetic reconstruction revealed two distinct populations comprising (i) southern British Columbia and (ii) northern British Columbia - southeast Alaska. Furthermore, the order of the clades suggests that the Pacific Ocean was colonized at least twice, 670 000 and 380 000 years ago. Haplotypes from the first invasion are restricted to a small number of seals around southern Vancouver Island. Analyses of five polymorphic microsatellite loci showed significant differences between the populations of southern British Columbia and northern British Columbia - Alaska. Migration rates for males based on microsatellite data (3-22 seals/generation) were higher than those obtained for females from mtDNA data (0.3 females/generation). Combining all the DNA data collected to date suggests that there are at least three populations of harbour seals in the Pacific composed of seals from (i) Japan, Russia, Alaska, and northern British Columbia, (ii) southern British Columbia and Puget Sound, Washington, and (iii) the outer coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. The data do not support the existence of two subspecies of harbour seals in the Pacific Ocean.

Abstract:

This article analyzes through the lens of Nancy Fraser's (2008) multidimensional social justice model policies and practices currently guiding English as an additional language (EAL) education in public schools in British Columbia, Canada on the basis of research published in the last decade or so. It highlights directions which Fraser's model guides us to explore in further depth in order to attend more adequately to the diverse linguistic, cultural, and integration needs of EAL students in the Metro Vancouver area. A continuous search for theoretical lenses allowing for more fine-grained analyses of challenges in educating diverse students would equip policy makers and practitioners alike with refined tools to engage more meaningfully with the complexities of diversities in the local contexts within which they work.

Full text

Abstract:

Indian reserves in British Columbia have a unique history. When British Columbia joined Confederation, the Terms of Union required the province to convey reserve lands to Canada in trust, for the use and benefit of the Indians. That constitutional obligation, imposed by the Terms of Union, was not fulfilled until many years after the date of union. It was not until 1929 that a "form of tenure and mode of administration" for all reserves in the province was agreed upon by the two governments. Nine years later, the provincial government passed Order in Council 1036, which conveyed most reserves outside the old Railway Belt to Canada. Pursuant to the 1929 agreement, the reserves which had been established inside the Railway Belt, (a strip of land that had been transferred to Canada in 1884), were to be governed by the same terms and conditions found in Order in Council 1036. Other reserves, which had been established pursuant to treaty Number 8, were not formally transferred until 1961. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the history leading up to the transfer of reserve lands in British Columbia, and to critically analyze the title which passed pursuant to Order in Council 1036. The examination of Order in Council 1036 includes an analysis of the proprietary rights transferred, such as water and mineral rights. The transfer instrument is analysed in detail in order to determine what rights and interests were passed to the Dominion and what was reserved to the province. Because the reserves in the old Railway Belt share the same terms and conditions, pursuant to Privy Council Order 208, they will also be included in this study. The establishment and transfer of Treaty Eight reserves will not be dealt with here. However, due to the similarities in the transfer instruments, some of the comments and analysis with respect to the other reserves will be applicable to the Treaty Eight reserves. The Constitution required the province to convey reserve lands to the Dominion. The term "conveyance" is not strictly appropriate to describe a transfer of property rights between levels of Her Majesty's governments. Therefore, certain aspects of Crown title and the transfer of property interests between levels of governemnt are examined herein. It is submitted that, because the Terms of Union required the "conveyance" of Indian reserves, the transaction must be analyzed from a constitutional law perspective. One of the features of Order in Council 1036 is a reservation by the province of a right to resume up to one-twentieth of any reserve lands. That is a term of the conveyance that continues to concern Indian bands in British Columbia. It is submitted that this condition of the transfer is invalid because it is contrary to the requirements of the Terms of Union. The conveyance should not be construed as a grant of real estate, but rather as a transfer of proprietary interests pursuant to legislation. Order in Council 1036, (and the Federal counterpart, Privy Council Order 208), should be viewed as delegated legislation. It is further submitted that this delegated legislation is ultra vires to the extent that it purports to give the provincial government a power of resumption over Indian reserve lands.

Abstract:

Vegetation science, like any science, uses classification to organize knowledge about plants and plant communities. Classification is helpful for understanding how different plant communities relate to one another and their environments, for facilitating further studies of vegetation, and for conservation. To familiarize onself with vegetation of a large area, it is very convenient and efficient to begin with a few general units, such as plant orders rather than with many very detailed units, such as plant associations and subassociation. We offer such an approach and think that the information given in this series will be sufficient to assign any forested coastal community to one the orders or suborders. In spite of a history of vegetation studies in British Columbia, there has not yet been any attempt to develop a comprehensive hierarchical classification of plant communities for the province. As the culmination of fifty years of detailed surveys carried out by V.J. Krajina and his students, the Ecology Program Staff of the BC Forest Service, and other workers, we used tabular and multivariate analyses of 3,779 sample plots established in natural, old-growth, submontane, montane, and subalpine forest communities in coastal BC to develop a hierarchy of vegetation units according to the methods of biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification.

Abstract:

This study begins with a review of economic and industrial relations literature to identify changes to the workplace that will make industry more productive and competitive. It identifies the measures necessary for industry to take advantage of technological development and to make the workplace more flexible. Specifically it focuses on variable or flexible compensation plans. After identifying the key features of various forms of flexible compensation, it examines approximately 30 plans being used in British Columbia. The case studies assist in identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each type of plan, from the perspectives of the employer, the employees and the trade union. Finally it suggests steps that can be taken by government to encourage variable compensation.

Abstract:

Objectives: Oral health inequities are prevalent but little is known on how to respond. In British Columbia (B.C.) there has been a rapid expansion of local responses to the inequities as communities and dental professionals cooperate to operate community dental clinics (CDCs). The purpose of this research has been to explore how the clinics evolved and how they operate from the perspective of participants in B.C. Methods: Three studies were conducted: #1 to understand the problems of access to dentistry using a case study that included 60 interviews with low-income people (N=41), dentists (N=6), and other healthcare or social service-providers (N=13); #2 to investigate the expansion of CDCs in B.C. by interviewing 63 people who helped to establish or operate the clinics; and #3 to study five clinics through aaggregated data from treatment, procedural, and financial data combined with explanatory information from interviews with eight staff members. Results: I identified two models of CDCs emerging in B.C,: volunteer-charitable (VC) clinics offering free services primarily to relieve pain; and, not-for-profit (NFP) clinics operating mostly full-time within community health centres employing paid staff to provide a wide range of basic dental treatments. Not all clinics are providing equitable standards of care to underserved populations, and they all operate with major concerns about financial sustainability. The NFP model seems to improve access to underserved populations by integrating primary or basic dental services with other health care and community social services. Conclusions: Expansion of CDCs in B.C. has been rapid to meet a growing societal concern. They all operate with some success on the principles of health-equity but with concerns for the limits of charity, the sustainability of NFP operations, and their overall limited capacity to address the level of unmet needs. However, the NFP model within the context of CDCs seems to be most effective.

Full text

Abstract:

Northern British Columbia (BC) and Alberta are sparsely populated forested lands under provincial jurisdiction (also known as Crown land) which are under intensive oil & gas exploration and pipeline development. Local Aboriginal people continue to implement traditional practices that maintain viable land and productive ecosystems by annual rotation of trap lines, hunting and gathering areas and similar activities. Aboriginal people can exert tremendous influence on pipeline projects through various means. Regulators and enlightened pipeline companies recognize the value of assessing traditional knowledge that has been collected over generations and passed down from the Elders to contribute to final routing, siting and project design identifying effects on environmental resources and traditional land and resource use and developing mitigation opportunities. Traditional knowledge includes experiential and secondary knowledge as well as accepted scientific research in the context of environmental assessments. Robust applications consider sources from all land users while being mindful of the intricacies inherent with Aboriginal engagement in order to gather substantive input for projects on Crown land. This paper explores the contribution of Aboriginal Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in the environmental assessment process on selected case studies involving recent natural gas pipeline projects in northern BC and Alberta from a balanced perspective. It also describes the evolution of a program developed by the author from its initial emphasis on Traditional Land Use (TLU) studies to the present day application of TLU studies, and TEK studies, focusing on lessons learned and regulatory and engagement challenges and successes.

The objective of this paper is to establish a concise structural model of the human musculoskeletal system (HMS) that can be applied to an exercise therapy that treats malfunctions or distortions of the human body. There exist a number of traditional exercise therapy methods in Japan and China, but any systematic approaches for learning, coaching or training are not found to the best of the author’s knowledge. Among such approaches, we deal with an exercise therapy called Somatic Balance Restoring Therapy (SBRT) in which a patient executes a series of non-invasive and painless motions in face-up/down laid posture. Although thousands of results have been piled up in a fixed-format data base, justification for the SBRT has not been provided in bio/mechanical engineering sense. The purpose of modeling is a first step for this holistic approach. For such reasons, the model must be useful and uncomplicated for therapists to identify the problematic areas of the human body with adequate visualization while maintaining a theoretical thoroughness in mechanics or dynamics. To bridge multi-body dynamics and the SBRT, we have utilized a human body model with a collection of joint connected 15 rigid bodies in a topological tree configuration as used for humanoid robot with 80 Degrees-of-Freedom (DOF). In order to achieve the purpose stated above, we have developed a static force/torque balance equation for each body element. In addition, we will describe modeling processes, derivation of static equations, and estimation of parameters/states and verification based on the analysis of the FPS experimental data, and contact forces are parameterized with quantitative values to be given by the Force Plate System (FPS), installed at CARIS at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

Abstract:

Abstract Pipeline watercourse crossing assessments typically require field investigations, river surveys, and detailed scour analyses to predict whether or not a pipeline may be subject to flood scour deeper than their depth of cover (DOC). Flood scour algorithms rely on discharge, median grain size, and some measure of channel cross-sectional area to determine the tractive force of water on the stream bed. These algorithms are applied to non-cohesive sediments typical of fluvial systems. To better define pipeline threats at a screening level, reducing unnecessary field and analytical expenses, and focusing effort on credible hazards, we developed a flood scour screening tool that uses return period discharge (Q) as the only input requirement. In order to develop the tool, we plotted the results of over 400 detailed scour assessments for several grain sizes (1100 data points) completed in Alberta and British Columbia, in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The results clearly show the importance of channel variability and grain size, but also show definable discharge related trends. We compared the results of the National Engineering Handbook (NEH) and the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) methods, both of which use industry accepted algorithms. We developed, and provided herein, relationships that can be used to screen out scour assessments at watercourse crossings where DOC is already known, or to support and expedite field programs where DOC is being obtained. If only Q is known, then a single graph, or single equation is used for a given region using fine sand as the assumed median grain size. If both Q and median grain size are known, then the user can determine a slightly less conservative result from a series of complementary equations. In all cases, we propose using the mean result of the USBR method, originally intended for design, to fully capture the potential variability in the calculated NEH flood scour. While conservative, the tool is easy to use, and we expect it will substantially reduce the assessment effort on smaller, or less erosive streams.

Abstract:

Abstract British Columbia (BC) has a significant oil & gas industry, with approximately 25,000 wells drilled in the province since the early 1900s. In the past few decades, the industry has changed from a balanced oil & gas production to activities dominated by unconventional gas production which is recovered by hydraulic fracturing. Concurrently, since 2000 there has been a shift from isolated vertical wells to pad-drilled horizontal wells. The older well stock at end-of-life combines with horizontal production wells and fractured reservoirs, the consequence of which is a growing wave of abandonment in BC, building over the next decade. This paper reviews the existing data on BC wells, as it is relevant to well abandonment operations. This includes the well architectures, trajectories, depths, testing procedures, etc.
