Full textAbstract:
Several Ontario communities face challenges requiring harnessing multisectorial partnerships to bring about community transformation. The church has the capacity to contribute to the community transformation needs of its community, but a particular denomination in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) appeared to be unaware of how to fulfil its social mission of community transformation. The purpose of this case study was to understand how members of the clergy perceived the lay leadership vacuum in the denomination and how these perceptions appear to inhibit the denomination's achievement of its social mission. The theoretical framework was Akingbola's strategic nonprofit human resource management theory. A qualitative case study was employed, using semistructured interviews of 10 clergy in the GTA. Data from the interviews were coded and categorized for thematic analysis and constant comparison. Findings indicated a lay leadership vacuum in the studied denomination. Participants concurred that the vacuum was influenced by the perceptions of the clergy, which inhibit the denomination's capacity to address the needs of the community. The results of this study could lead to positive social change through providing an understanding of the obstacles denominations and similar nonprofit organizations may need to overcome to effectively identify, nurture, and deploy their volunteers for the benefit of community transformation.

Full textAbstract:
The boundary between the western and central domains of the Wabigoon subprovince has been considered to represent a ca. 2.7 Ga suture between juvenile Neoarchean volcanic rocks in the west and granitoid rocks with Mesoarchean ancestry in the central Wabigoon. The nature and timing of interaction between these two terranes was examined southeast of the Sturgeon Lake greenstone belt within the central Wabigoon, where amphibolite-facies supracrustal remnants are dismembered by Neoarchean plutonic rocks and shear zones. Of the 4 preserved ductile deformation fabrics, D1 and D2 are bracketed by a 2718 +/- 7 Ma tonalite gneiss and crosscutting 2715 Ma tonalite dyke. The main penetrative S3 foliation affects most units, including quartz-rich sandstone deposited after 2701 Ma. A 2697 Ma granodiorite dyke cutting S3 in mafic and metasedimentary rocks provides a lower bracket on D3. Regional implications can be drawn from the observation of 2725--2715 Ma D1 and D2 deformation events in the central Wabigoon. These constraints overlap with an early deformation event in the Pipestone Lake area of the western Wabigoon (2727--2712 Ma; Edwards and Stauffer, 1999). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
Forty-seven riffle zones from 21 streams of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec were sampled in 1998 to describe how characteristics of the benthic invertebrate assemblage (abundance, taxa richness and size distribution) varied as a function of water quality parameters (conductivity, TP, SRP, TSS, NO3+NO2, NH3, TKN, Cl-, SO42-) along a gradient of watershed development. A principal components analysis on water quality parameters revealed that there were two groups of correlated water quality variables that explained the majority of the variability among sites. The first group of variables included chloride, sulfate, nitrate+nitrite and conductivity and represented a gradient of urbanization while the second group represented nutrients and included: soluble reactive phosphorus, total phosphorus, ammonia, total suspended solids and total Kjeldahl nitrogen. Simple and multiple regression models predicting invertebrate assemblage characteristics were fitted using water quality principal components scores as independent variables. Overall, invertebrate assemblage characteristics were related to both groups of water quality variables. Abundances per taxon and size classes generally increased with increased nutrients, and overall abundance and the ratio of abundances of sensitive to tolerant taxa declined with increasing chloride, sulfate, nitrate+nitrite and conductivity. Existing information suggests that the water quality gradient found in these streams is more a reflection of anthropogenic sources than the result of geological differences. Therefore, it appears that human activities affect the distribution and abundance of invertebrates in this region. However our models did not explain a good proportion of the variability. It would seem that stream invertebrates of the Ottawa valley are also affected by other parameters that have yet to be identified.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The significance of Archean ferropicrites has been underappreciated in the past because many have been misidentified as varieties of komatiites. Ferropicrites from the Western Superior Province have distinctly higher Fe contents compared to komatiites at similar Mg contents. Enrichment in Ti, HFSE, and REE, combined with fractionated trace element profiles, indicate that these magmas are derived from a trace element enriched mantle source, which was distinct from that of komatiites. Interpolation of 5 GPa melting experiments on pyrolite and Martian mantle compositions indicates that the trace element enriched mantle source of the Western Superior Archean ferropicrites was olivine-dominated with a Mg # of ~ 85. The coexistence of ferropicrites and komatiites within the same greenstone belts indicates that the Archean mantle was compositionally heterogeneous, and the abundance of ferropicrites in the Western Superior Province suggests that ferropicrites may have been as abundant in the Archean as alkaline magmatism is today.RÉSUMÉ L'importance et la signification des ferropicrites archéennes n'ont pas été appréciées à leurs juste valeur dans le passé, parce que plusieurs d'entre-elle on été confondues avec des variétés de komatiites. Les ferropicrites provenant de la Province du Supérieur Ouest ont toutefois des concentrations en Fe plus élevés que les komatiites, pour des concentrations similaires en Mg. Un enrichissement en Ti, HFSE et REE, combiné avec des profiles des éléments traces fractionnés, indiquent que ces magmas furent dérivés de la fusion d'une source mantellique enrichie en éléments traces, étant distincte de la source des komatiites. L'interpolation des expérimentations de fusion à 5 GPa sur des pyrolites ainsi que sur des compositions mantelliques martiennes, indique que la source mantellique enrichie en éléments traces des ferropicrites des la Province du Supérieur Ouest était majoritairement composée d'olivine ayant un Mg # de ~85. La coexistence de ferropicrites et de komatiites au sein des mêmes ceintures de roches vertes indique que le manteau archéen était hétérogène, et l'abondance des ferropicrites dans la Province du Supérieur Ouest suggère qu'elles aient pu avoir été aussi abondantes à l'Archéen que le magmatisme alcalin l'est aujourd'hui.

Métodos: Para testar a validade concorrente, 100 pacientes com enfermidades do manguito rotador foram avaliados usando o WORC, desfechos clinicamente relevantes para avaliação de ombro (dor, amplitude de movimento e força muscular) e os instrumentos DASH, SF-36 e UCLA. O WORC foi repetido a 50 pacientes no mesmo dia e após uma média de intervalo de 7 dias para avaliar a reprodutibilidade (teste/reteste). Para testar a responsividade, o WORC, DASH, UCLA e SF-36 foram administrados à uma amostra de 30 pacientes na avaliação inicial e três meses após o tratamento recomendado (fisioterapia ou tratamento cirúrgico) e foi dividida em dois grupos: pacientes com melhora após o tratamento (n=20) e os que não melhoraram (n=10), de acordo com a estratégia baseada em âncoras. A validade concorrente foi testada através do Coeficiente de correlação de Person. A reprodutibilidade e consistência interna foram analisadas pelo Coeficiente de correlação intraclasses e alpha de Cronbach, respectivamente. As pontuações foram usadas para avaliar o erro padrão de medida (do inglês, SEM) e a mudança mínima detectável (do inglês, MDC). O tamanho do efeito (do inglês, ES) e média da resposta padrão (do inglês, SRM) foram calculados para responsividade. Resultados: A análise entre o WORC e os desfechos clinicamente relevantes revelaram correlações de fraca a forte, sendo a mais fraca para amplitude de movimento de rotação medial (r=-0,22) e a mais forte para dor ao movimento (r=- 0,75). Correlações fortes também foram encontradas com o DASH e UCLA (r=-0,86 and r=-0,80, respectivamente) e correlações moderadas com os domínios do SF-36 (0,37 a 0,69), sendo as maiores relacionadas aos domínios físicos. A análise da confiabilidade demonstrou resultados considerados excelentes, com coeficiente de correlação intraclasses e alpha de Cronbach variando de 0,88 a 0,99. O SEM foi de 5,2 e 3,0 pontos para a avaliação inicial e após o intervalo médio de 7 dias, respectivamente. O MDC foi de 7,1 pontos (90% intervalo de confiança). Analisando a responsividade, todos os instrumentos mostraram valores mais altos de ES e SRM para o grupo “melhorou” que no grupo “não melhorou”. O WORC demonstrou valores de moderados a altos (0,66 to 1,1) para o grupo “melhorou”. O mesmo ocorreu com o DASH e UCLA. Os valores do SF-36 variaram de pequeno a grande e o valor mais alto foi para o domínio aspectos físicos no mesmo grupo. Conclusões: A versão brasileira do WORC mostrou ser uma medida válida e confiável. O WORC, assim como o UCLA, DASH e domínios físicos do SF-36 mostraram ser instrumentos responsivos após curto período de prosseguimento de tratamento para enfermidades do manguito rotador
Objective: To evaluate the validity, reliability and responsiveness of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the WORC questionnaire. Methods: To test validity, 100 patients with rotator cuff disorders were evaluated using the WORC, clinically relevant outcomes for shoulder disorders (pain, range of motion and strength) and the DASH, SF-36 and UCLA outcome measures. The WORC was repeated on 50 patients on the same day and after a mean interval of 7 days to evaluate the testretest reliability. A sample of 30 patients were administered the WORC, DASH, UCLA and SF-36 scales again to asses the responsiveness at baseline and 3 months after a recommended treatment (physiotherapy or surgery) and were divided into 2 groups: those who had improved after treatment (n=20) and those who had not improved (n=10), according to anchor-based strategy. Concurrent validity was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, respectively. The scores were used to assess the standard error measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC). The effect size (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM) were calculated for responsiveness. Results: Analysis between the WORC and clinically relevant outcomes revealed weak to strong correlations; the weakest for active internal rotation (r=-0.22) and the strongest for pain during movement (r=-0.75). Strong correlations were found between the DASH and UCLA (r=-0.86 and r=-0.80, respectively). There were moderate correlations between the SF-36 domains (0.37 to 0.69); the best correlations related to the physical domains. Reliability analysis revealed excellent results, with the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha ranging from 0.88 to 0.99. The SEM was 5.2 and 3.0 for time 0 and after the interval of 7 days, respectively. The MDC was 7.1 over this mean time interval (90% confidence interval). Analyzing the responsiveness, all instruments showed larger ES and SRM values for those who “improved” than that found in the “not improved” group. The WORC demonstrated moderate to large ES and SRM values (0.66 to 1.1) for those “improved”. The same occurred for the ES and SRM values for the UCLA and DASH. The ES and SRM values of the SF-36 varied from small to large and the largest response was found in the physical role subscale. Conclusions: The Brazilian version of the WORC proved to be a valid and reliable measurement tool. The WORC as well as the UCLA, DASH and SF-36 physical subscales proved to be responsive for use in short-term follow-up after rotator cuff interventions.

Full textAbstract:
The 160 km long Oak Ridges Moraine in southern Ontario has been interpreted as an interlobate moraine, a subaerial braidplain-defaic deposit, a subglacially formed ridge, or a polygenetic landform of subglacial and proglacial deposits. Because of these significant differences a detailed sedimentological study is needed in order to provide an improved depositional model. This study of the western 40 km of the moraine in the Humber River watershed challenges the concept that it was deposited from seasonal meltwater discharges, climatic modulated ice-marginal fluctuations or in an interlobate position. Instead it is interpreted to have formed in response to changes in the ice-sheet during deglaciation associated with subglacial ponding, episodic and catastrophic subglacial jokulhlaup discharge and seasonal meltwater discharge. The moraine probably formed as the ice-sheet profile and glacial hydraulic system re-equilibrated to the presence of a thinned ice-sheet and a subglacial lake in the Lake Ontario basin. The Oak Ridges Moraine is interpreted to have been deposited in three discrete stages that record sedimentation from both high-energy and low-energy depositional processes. Stage I consists mostly of massive and diffusely-graded sand that is up to 50 m thick and forms the lowest tunnel channel infill. It was deposited rapidly from hyperconcentrated flows some distance downflow of a hydraulic jump that developed as jokulhlaup flow discharged from tunnel channels into a subglacial lake in the Lake Ontario basin. Low energy basinal sedimentation of Stage II is recorded by the upward increase in thin normally graded fine-sand, silt, and clay laminae forming varves. Stage III is characterized by rapid facies changes associated with subaqueous fan, esker and basinal sedimentation. Proximal fan sediment consists of heterogeneous gravel with sand intraclasts and planar-stratified gravel. Immediately downflow the supercritical to subcritical flow transition is recorded by steep-wailed scours and diffusely-graded infill. Farther downflow the subcritical flow region of the fan is dominated by planar cross-stratified medium sand, climbing medium scale cross-stratified sand and small-scale cross-laminated fine sand. Based on an incomplete verve chronology and general evidence of rapid and voluminous sedimentation it is estimated that the moraine was deposited over a short period of time, maybe as little as 100 years. This study provides an additional demonstration of the value of detailed sedimentological studies to advancing understanding of Laurentide meltwater and deglacial processes.

Full textAbstract:
La EVALUACIÓN DE LA CALIDAD DE VIDA en un paciente representa el impacto que una enfermedad y su consecuente tratamiento tienen sobre la percepción del paciente de su bienestar. Dicha evaluación nos ofrece además una información más completa de los efectos de la enfermedad y una medida más global del resultado de una intervención médica.
Los cuestionarios de CALIDAD DE VIDA RELACIONADA CON LA SALUD (CVRS), en sus diferentes ámbitos, surgen de la necesidad de evaluar por parte de los profesionales de la salud, los resultados obtenidos en la aplicación de los tratamientos médicos, además de poder monitorizar de forma más óptima el grado de mejoría por parte de los pacientes.
Evaluar la Inestabilidad del hombro representa una dificultad mayor, ya que los síntomas pueden ser intermitentes o estar relacionados con actividades específicas que anticipen la aparición de los mismos y es por ello que aquellos métodos que enfocan la medición en el rango de movilidad, el dolor, limitación funcional o la fuerza, sin tener en cuenta la aprensión, pueden presentar valores anormalmente elevados en la escala de medición en pacientes con una franca inestabilidad.
Existen cuestionarios, como el WESTERN ONTARIO SHOULDER INSTABILITY INDEX, (en adelante WOSI) que fueron creados con el objetivo de suplir ese déficit de información y para que sea el paciente quien pueda expresar los diferentes síntomas y sensaciones, respecto a las deficiencias y limitaciones que su hombro presenta en las distintas actividades de la vida diaria.
Entre los diferentes CVRS específicos para la patología de hombro actualmente también denominados PROM (Patient Reported Outcome Mesure) y concretamente los que se basan en el estudio y seguimiento clínico de la Inestabilidad de hombro, el cuestionario WOSI ha demostrado a través de diferentes estudios que es sensible en la detección de los síntomas y sensaciones que refieren los pacientes afectos de inestabilidad gleno-humeral. Ello unido a que dicho cuestionario obtiene unas puntuaciones y porcentajes de los más altos en las valoraciones psicométricas, así como por su versatilidad en su administración, lo hacen uno de los más indicados para el diagnóstico y seguimiento de los pacientes afectos de dicha alteración.
Dicho cuestionario se halla dividido en cuatro dominios: Examen físico (10 ítems), Actividades Deportivas, recreativas y trabajo (4 ítems), Estilo de vida (4 ítems) y Esfera emocional (3 ítems). Cada ítem se responde mediante una escala VAS de 100 m.m. obteniéndose con la suma de ellos la puntuación del cuestionario, que puede oscilar entre 0 puntos y 2100, siendo 0 la mejor puntación posible y 2100 la peor. Dicha puntuación mediante una ecuación puede transformarse en porcentajes entre 0 y 100 %.
Además, el cuestionario tiene un cuadernillo de aclaraciones en las que se especifica el sentido exacto que se le quiere dar a cada ítem para poder resolver las dudas de los pacientes.
El trabajo que se presenta es la adaptación transcultural al idioma Español y la validación psicométrica de dicho cuestionario, de su versión original.EVALUATION OF QUALITY OF LIFE in a patient represents the impact of a disease and its subsequent treatment have on the patient's perception of their welfare. Such assessment also gives us a more complete information on the effects of the disease and a more comprehensive measure of the result of a medical intervention. The questionnaires of QUALITY OF LIFE RELATED TO HEALTH (HRQOL) in different areas, arising from the need to evaluate by health professionals, the results obtained in the application of medical treatments, in addition to monitoring of optimal shape the degree of improvement by patients. Evaluate shoulder instability represents more difficult, because the symptoms can be intermittent or be related to specific activities that anticipate the emergence of the same and that is why those methods that focus on measuring the range of motion, pain, functional limitation or force, regardless of apprehension, may have abnormally high values on the scale of measurement in patients with instability. Questionnaires, such as the Western Ontario SHOULDER INSTABILITY INDEX (hereinafter WOSI) were created in order to supply this information gap and to be the patient who can express different symptoms and feelings, on deficiencies and limitations his shoulder presented in the various activities of daily living. Among the various specific HRQOL for shoulder pathology now also called PROM (Patient Reported Outcome Mesure) and specifically those based on the study and clinical monitoring of Shoulder Instability, the WOSI questionnaire has been shown through various studies it is sensitive in detecting symptoms and sensations that refer the patients with glenohumeral instability. This coupled to the questionnaire scores and percentages obtained some of the highest in the psychometric assessments, as well as its versatility in his administration, make it one of the most suitable for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with this alteration. The questionnaire is divided into four domains: physical exam (10 items), sports activities, recreational and work (4 items), Lifestyle (4 items) and emotional Sphere (3 items). Each item is answered by a VAS scale of 100 M.M. obtaining the sum of them with the questionnaire score, which can range between 0 and 2100 points, with 0 being the best and the worst rating 2100. This score by an equation can be transformed into percentage between 0 and 100%. In addition, the questionnaire has a booklet clarification on the exact meaning that he wants to give each item to resolve the doubts of patients specified. The work presented is the Spanish language cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the questionnaire, from its original version.

Full textAbstract:
The granite – greenstone terranes in northwestern Ontario contain oval granitoid bodies. A specific granitoid body known as the Dashwa Gneiss was studied and the results are presented in this paper. The rocks in the field area display key features of diapirism that include concentric, steeply dipping foliations, radially distributed lineations and a shear zone bounding the granitoid that consistently shows 'granitoid up' kinematics relative to surrounding metavolcanic rocks. Based on these structural features, it is proposed that the oval map pattern of this region resulted from diapirism of the Dashwa Gneiss. A granitic intrusion at the core of the oval pattern is interpreted as providing the heat source responsible for lowering the viscosity of the Dashwa Gneiss sufficiently for the dense supracrustal rocks overlying the Dashwa Gneiss to trigger diapirism. The steep dip and concentric pattern of the Dashwa Gneiss indicate a pipe-like body that is attributed to erosion of the area exposing only the stem of the diapir. Mean foliation data show that the Western Wabigoon terrane is probably a diapiric field containing diapirs of variable maturity, shape, size and vertical level.Les terranes de granite et roches vertes du nord-ouest ontarien contiennent des masses de granitoïdes à motif ovale. Un granitoïde nommé gneiss de Dashwa fut étudié et les résultats sont présentés dans cet article. Les roches sur le terrain montrent des caractéristiques importantes de diapirisme qui incluent une foliation concentrique à fort plongement, une linéation à distribution radiale et une zone de cisaillement bordant le granitoïde, qui montre de façon consistante une cinématique de 'granitoïde vers le haut'. En se basant sur ces caractéristiques structurales, il est proposé que le motif en plan ovale de cette région résulte du diapirisme du gneiss de Dashwa. L'intrusion granitique au coeur du motif ovale est interprétée comme étant la source de chaleur responsable d'une diminution de la viscosité du gneiss de Dashwa, au point où des roches métavolcaniques mafiques et denses recouvrant le gneiss de Dashwa ont activé le diapirisme. Le fort plongement et le motif concentrique du gneiss de Dashwa suggèrent une géométrie en conduit qui a été attribuée à l'érosion de la région exposant seulement le tronc du diapir. Les données de foliation moyenne indiquent que la terrane de Western Wabigoon est un champ diapirique contenant des diapirs de maturité, forme, taille et niveau vertical variables.

Full textAbstract:
This project focused on Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization and petrogenesis of mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the western Quetico and Wabigoon Subprovinces of the Superior Province. Two intrusions were singled out for detailed study: the Legris Lake Complex, part of circular series of mafic-ultramafic complexes, which includes the Lac des Iles Complex, located in the Wabigoon Subprovince, and the Samuels Lake Intrusion, part of the Quetico Intrusions, located in the Quetico Subprovince.
Legris Lake complex. The Legris Lake Complex is a northeast-trending 7.3 by 3.5 kilometre mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex. It is part of a circular series of mafic-ultramafic complexes, the most notable of which is the Lac des Iles Complex, which is host to Canada's only palladium mine. The Legris Lake Complex consists of mostly gabbroic rocks, but also contains lithologies ranging from anorthosite to wehrlite, and, variety of igneous breccias. The gabbroic rocks vary from melanogabbro to porphyritic leucogabbro. Medium grained, massive, biotite-rich leucogabbro is the predominant exposed variety and probably caps the complex.
Samuels Lake intrusion. The Samuels Lake intrusion, ca 2688 +6/-5 Ma, located in the centre of the Quetico Subprovince possesses a northeast-southwest elliptical form (500 m by 250 m) and displays rough concentric zoning with a wehrlite core grading into clinopyroxenite border zone, which has been intruded by later homblendite. Olivine-rich rocks commonly contain blebs of pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite + pentlandite with anomalous PGE values, ranging from 50 to 300 ppb, whereas the clinopyroxenite border zone contains disseminated to blebby PGE-rich Cu-sulphide mineralization.

Full textAbstract:
Agricultural systems are known to emit nitrous oxide (N2O)---a potent greenhouse gas. The roving flux tower measuring system of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada was used to make continuous measurements of N2O fluxes in an edible pea field in Western Quebec in 2003-04 and then in an alfalfa-timothy forage field in Eastern Ontario in 2004-05. The experiment was designed to capture, at the field scale, the expected large N2O emissions occurring as a result of fertilizer application for a year, in relation to both large precipitation events and spring thaw.Growing season N2O emissions averaged 0.5 to 5 mg N2 O-N m-2 d-1 with peaks following snow melt (between 5 and 8 mg N2O-N m-2 d-1) and manure applications (8 to 37 mg N2O-N m-2 d -1). Although generally small (<0.25 mg N2O-N m -2 d-1), emissions were detectable during the fall and winter, indicating the importance of including them in annual emission totals.
The measurements were used to verify the performance of the simulation model DNDC (DeNitrification-DeComposition) in estimating N2O emissions from legumes and in response to dairy manure application. Sensitivity tests were also carried out in which baseline input values were modified. Results suggest that the current model version (DNDC8.9) requires further modification prior to application for estimating greenhouse gas emissions in national accounting systems.

Full textAbstract:
Le Québec et la Californie, membres de la Western Climate Initiative (WCI), ont instauré leurs marchés du carbone en 2012 et les ont liés en 2014 pour former le premier marché du carbone liant des régions de pays différents. L’Ontario, également membre de la WCI, opère son propre marché du carbone depuis le premier janvier 2017 et devrait se lier au Québec et à la Californie en 2018. Puisqu’il s’agit d’une liaison bilatérale, l’intégration de l’Ontario créera un choc sur les demande et offre agrégées. Les quantités de droits d’émission disponibles et leur prix en seront donc affectés. De plus, ces liaisons sont généralement efficaces. Il peut cependant en découler des transferts de fonds importants des régions importatrices vers les régions exportatrices. En usant de simples tendances, je détermine que l’accroissement de la demande de permis sur le marché commun attribuable aux firmes ontariennes dépassera l’accroissement de l’offre attribuable à l’entrée de l’Ontario sur ce marché. Il en résulte que l’offre excédentaire devrait diminuer de 20 millions d’unité sur le marché commun entre 2016 à 2020. Même si les droits d’émission diminuent, le marché demeurera avec une offre largement excédentaire et le prix restera près du prix plancher. L’offre globale dépassera la demande globale mais les demandes québécoise et ontarienne dépasseront les offres de permis dans ces deux provinces. Par conséquent, les entreprises québécoises et ontariennes importeront des droits d’émission californiens pour se conformer. L’importation de ces droits d’émission entrainera des transferts de fonds de 604,5 millions de dollars canadiens.

Full textAbstract:
Officially founded in 1997, the Pride Library is a pioneering Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ) Canadian information-based organization. Although located within D.B. Weldon Library at the University of Western Ontario, the library maintains a primarily grassroots framework. The Pride Library case study reflects a tradition within LGBTQ communities towards preserving and disseminating information otherwise marginalized by larger society. Operating outside of conventional professional informed and institutionally-dominated models, LGBTQ communities create unique grassroots information organizational contexts. In order to develop a deeper understanding of LGBTQ information organizations, an ethnographic study of the Pride Library was developed. The thesis addresses the library’s use patterns, and approaches to space, materials and labour relations. Findings demonstrate that the Pride Library is not only valued for providing LGBTQ-specific information resources, but also for creating a symbolically significant, socially-oriented and community-based LGBTQ environment.

Full textAbstract:
Across rural Canada, communities like Jaffray Melick are facing a variety of issues such as increased growth due to the rising popularity of rustic living and environmental issues from increased development pressures. Becoming more popular means these smaller communities are also faced with increased demands for services and an increased threat of environmental degradation; which would essentially diminish their quality of life. Thus the main question is how do these rural communities protect their future quality of life? This practicum explores this question through analyzing principles of growth management and public processes. A case study of Bracebridge, Ontario examines a successful growth management strategy from conception to implementation. Generalizing the key steps involved in a growth management strategy from the case study and from the literature allows a framework to be developed, which can then be applied in other communities. In addition the role a planner plays in this process is also discussed and outlined. This 'framework' for growth management is applied to the community of Jaffray Melick. A hypothetical analysis gives the basis for information to be translated into technical aspects of a growth management plan in the context of a public consultation process. Such a plan allows recommendations to be made as to how to implement a growth management strategy and what types of control mechanisms are available to the community. In summary, this practicum provides examples of the growth management process and how to refine this process to fit he unique needs of various communities. Recommendations are made as to how the community of Jaffray Melick can begin their growth management strategy through public process.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropogenic disruptions in the form of hydrological alterations, such as dam construction and the associated water diversions are a cause of much upheaval to local and regional ecosystems. Lake 626 within the Experimental Lakes Area of north-west Ontario, along with its downstream wetlands, 626A and 626B are one such system. Construction of a dam at the L626 inflow has completely restricted water flow, reducing and reshaping the watershed, increasing water retention time, and decreasing outflow into the wetlands. This study investigates the state of each wetland through physical and geochemical characterization during the first year following the diversion.
Previous studies have found that hydrological diversions in wetlands can lower water table levels, altering soil chemistry and producing a shift in floral and faunal communities. Ultimate consequences involve significant loss of wetland area through conversion to upland habitat. This provides a model for climatic warming scenarios, wherein sustained drought conditions can produce the same result. Boreal wetlands are surprising fragile ecosystems that store massive quantities of carbon and are at risk of releasing it in such situations. One study showed that an extended summer drought in an otherwise average year with above average precipitation produced losses of 90 g C/m2 over the course of the year. Maintenance of reduced-flow in wetlands 626A and 626B is expected to convert the system into a carbon source and reduce overall wetland area.
Radiocarbon dating has revealed that following deglaciation, both 626A and 626B basins were open water wetlands, depositing limnic peat for about 3200 and 1300 years respectively. Each site then transitioned into open sedge dominated fen – 626B to the present and 626A until about 2.5 ka BP when Sphagnum began to develop. Wetland 626B is decidedly an open shrub/sedge fen, supporting Myrica gale, Chamaedaphne calyculata and Carex rostrata / lasiocarpa communities. Wetland 626A is a bog/fen complex, sharing similar communities in the fen areas, but housing a large, centrally located bog of shrub species overlying Sphagnum hummocks. Tritium values in 626A were similar to cosmic background levels, indicating that recharge of basal pore water has not occurred in at least 60 years. Tritium in 626B was much higher, suggesting a substantial difference in hydrology or peat hydraulic conductivity between the basins. Measurement of DOC profiles showed high concentrations in near-surface water, reaching over 80 mg/L, and dropping to about 20 mg/L at maximum depths. An opposite trend was seen for DIC and CH4 profiles which increased concentration with depth (25 – 70 mg/L DIC; 75 – 700 μmol/L CH4). Isotopically however, 13C signatures from basal DIC were more positive while signatures from CH4 were typically more negative (-6 ‰ to +4 ‰ DIC; -57 ‰ to -73 ‰ CH4). Breakdown of DOC by LC-OCD showed high concentrations of humic substances and low molecular weight neutrals. The origin of humic substances in surface water became more pedogenic with increasing distance from the L626 outflow, indicating the influence of decaying wetland vegetation on the DOC of adjacent water.
A comparison between contemporary and future characterization of boreal peatlands under drought-like conditions will provide a better understanding of the impacts suffered by wetlands during hydrological alterations. The high sensitivity of wetlands to changing hydrology should also provide a measure for gauging the effects of long term climate warming. This will assist in the development of environmental policies to better govern both the establishment of water diversions and the multitude of other practices leading to climate change.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is twofold. First, it is an exercise in the application of critical anthropological theory and methodology to a subject matter that has not been treated by these approaches. In the process, the construction of anthropological knowledge is consistently questioned and evaluated. Second, an exploration of menstrual ideology and practice is provided through the experiences of women living in south-western Ontario. Research was conducted through various methods: 100 women of different ages and ethnic backgrounds participated in a menstrual care product questionnaire. Store managers and owners were interviewed regarding the sales and merchandising of menstrual care products, as well as a thorough search of the feminine hygiene industry's different web sites. 18 women were interviewed regarding their menstrual history, sexuality, family experience, health, and their perceptions and choices of menstrual care products. Six different families participated in life history interviews. Four of these families are presented in the thesis in the form of 14 individual life histories. The topics discussed include: menarche, pregnancy, divorce, abortion, sexuality, work, family relationships, Toxic Shock Syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian disease, menopause, and commercial menstrual care products.

Full textAbstract:
Earthquakes in western Quebec and southern Ontario present a major contribution to the natural hazards in south eastern Canada due to their proximity to major population centres. However, the seismic characteristics of the events in these regions have not been well documented. Improved knowledge of earthquake distribution and seismic controlling mechanisms provides a great benefit for earthquake hazard analysis in eastern Canada.
The available information about the tectonic stress indicators, including focal mechanisms, was compiled for Canada prior to 1994. The present research is concentrated mainly on determination of the focal mechanisms and hypocentre locations of the earthquakes after 1993 with M > 3.5 to characterize the present-day regional and local stress fields in southern Ontario and western Quebec. An attempt was also made to differentiate local zones with comparatively homogeneous tectonic stresses orientation and seismic regimes, thus providing information for future re-assessment of the seismic hazard in each region.
Considering seismic parameters such as the trend of the epicentres, focal depths and the state of stress of the events along with their tectonic settings, ten distinct clusters have been proposed for western Quebec and two clusters of events were determined for southern Ontario with comparatively consistent focal mechanisms. The locations and characteristics of seismicity clusters appear to be consistent with the hypothesis that they are near the locations of large historic and prehistoric events, and represent exceptionally persistent aftershocks of past large earthquakes.Thesis (Master, Geological Sciences & Geological Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2012-06-15 19:46:15.691

Full textAbstract:
This research project explored the relationship between municipal governments and community economic development (CED). It identified the unique role that municipal governments play in promoting CED, gives policy recommendations for advancing the transformative and innovative elements of CED within local governments, and identified models of innovative practice in municipal policy related to CED. The project focused on medium-sized municipalities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northern Ontario. The thesis profiles important roles that municipalities play in supporting CED and uses examples from the research to illustrate these roles. Lastly, Haughton’s (1998) multifaceted definition of CED (p. 876) was used to place each municipality on a spectrum from ‘localist transformative’ CED to ‘gap filling’ CED and examples were given from the research to show which municipalities had the strongest and most innovative support of CED and those that were less successful.
