▼ This dissertation is an ethnohistorical account of the advent of Christianity, how it was taught and practiced, on the upper Fraser-Skeena watershed and adjacent North Pacific littoral between the years 1741 and 1873. The region was a focal point of sustained international colonial and commercial attention, and missionaries of various European Christianities played an important role in the introduction of Christianity in the vast socio-geographical space. However, they were not the only teachers and practitioners. Lay Christianities, that is, Christianity as practiced by the various workers in the maritime and continental fur trades, and later by Russian, Spanish, British, Canadian and American colonists were perspicuous features of the social field. While the presence of lay Christianities is often underdetermined in the North American historical and ethnographic records, I argue it figured significantly into the quality of social relations between newcomers and peoples Indigenous to the region. Indigenous peoples were initially interested in
Christian form and content. Later those interests were augmented by Indigenous prophets interested in indigenizing Christianity; a task which entailed ensuring that Christianity originated locally. When the Hudson’s Bay Company emerged as the chief commercial operator in the region at the close of the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Indigenous Christianity was mobilized as a religion of resistance against the Company’s incursion into local social spaces and in the ensuing struggle with both the Company and
Christian missionaries.

‘By education and conduct’: educating trans-imperial Indigenous fur-trade children in the Hudson’s Bay Company Territories and the British Empire, 1820s to 1870s.

▼ Mid-nineteenth-century Indigenous fur-trade students were part of a larger group of mixed-descent children in the British Empire who were the product of intimate relations between British men and local women in the colonies. These imperial children were the source of a great deal of anxiety for their parents, British administrators, missionaries, and entrepreneurs. In the mid-nineteenth-century Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) territories, the parents of elite Indigenous fur-trade children sought a British-style education for their children in order to equip them thrive in the HBC territories and the larger British Empire. These children were sent to schools in the HBC territories, the Canadian colonies, and Britain in order to learn how to perform gendered British middle-class identities. In the HBC territories, however, missionaries who were attuned to the project of civilizing and Christianizing Indigenous peoples leveraged this curriculum in different ways than their counterparts in metropolitan spaces.
Elite Indigenous fur-trade students were highly mobile, as schooling often required children to live at boarding schools far from their homes at fur trade posts. An extensive network of British and Indigenous kin that spanned the HBC territories, the Canadian colonies, and Britain supported fur-trade students who were at school. For these trans-imperial children and their families, the HBC territories were not an isolated outpost of the British Empire but were only one site in an imperial circuit of familial mobility. The children’s educational mobility provides a window into the reciprocal movement of people, ideas, and culture between the HBC territories, Britain, and other parts of the Empire that formed the ‘mutually constitutive’ Empire.
The elite Indigenous fur-trade children in this study were able to draw on both their Indigenous heritage and the privilege afforded to them by their elite status in their attempts to negotiate the shifting racial and social boundaries in the HBC territories and the larger British Empire. Indigenous skills, language, material culture, and kin ties existed and operated alongside the British cultural practices and values that served as signifiers of their elite social status. These students performed versions of British middle-class ‘respectability’ that were both ubiquitous to the British Empire and tailored to the local conditions of the HBC territories.

▼ This dissertation examines the period of pan-Indigenous activism in Canada and in the United States between 1950 and 1975. The rights era in both countries presented important challenges for both legislators and for minority groups. In a post-war context increasingly concerned with equality and global justice, minority groups were uniquely positioned to exact from the government perhaps greater concessions than ever before. For Indigenous groups, however, the potential of this period delivered only in part due to initiatives like the Great Society and the Just Society which, while claiming to offer justice for Indigenous people, threatened them as perhaps never before, by homogenizing Indigenous people and their demands with those of other minority groups. As such, I argue that the broader political and social context of the rights era served to inform, but not to dictate, the shape and content of the Indigenous rights movement. The relationship of Indigenous activism to other forms of activism during the rights era was both complicated and contentious, with Indigenous activists conceiving of their struggle in markedly different terms than other marginalized groups. Within this context, I examine the formation of both mainstream and alternative organizations, as well as their responses to the challenges of radicalism, of youth culture and of gender. I argue that the failure of mainstream organizations to properly address the grassroots contributed to a crisis of legitimacy within an increasingly crowded organizational milieu. As both the documentary record and oral accounts demonstrate, what many have demarcated as a new period of “pan-Indian” unity, therefore, was also marked by important division and protest that has often been overlooked in laudatory accounts of the activism of the period. These internal critiques also serve to explain why the mid-1970s signaled an important change in organizational tactics in both countries, at least in the way they had been practiced previously. In addition, the proliferation of rights-seeking groups demonstrated an important echo pattern whereby both policy and protest was replicated and reinvented in a Canadian context slightly later than in an American one.

▼ The image of two US athletes with black glove-covered fists raised on the podium at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics is iconic. However, despite a number of academic studies, articles, books, lectures and films addressing this moment, the deeper story behind that student-athlete protest at Mexico 68 is little known. It was far from being a merely spontaneous or violent action. In fact, the protest was part of a concerted and largely peaceful effort to highlight several systemic injustices of the late 1960s by a group named the Olympic Project for Human Rights. As will be demonstrated in this thesis, it follows that the deeper story of the student-athlete protests at Mexico 68 are ripe with significance from both: (1) a Peace Studies perspective, focussing on structural injustice, and (2) a Conflict Resolution Studies viewpoint, which upholds value in the constructive settling of disputes. Employing a Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) lens, which keeps both sets of concerns in view, and undertaking descriptive and analytical approaches that bring the voice of the athletes to the fore as much as possible given the limitations of this study, allows for a discussion of remarkable student-athletes interacting not only within the competitive structure of their sport at the Olympics, but also amongst social, institutional, and political contexts. This approach becomes foundational for the conclusion that the athletes involved in protests at Mexico 68 were players (i.e., agents) and not pawns, in relation to complex socio-political forces, which sought to manipulate and oppress them. Moreover, this PACS approach allows for twelve concrete lessons flowing from the stories of the athletes to be delineated for their contemporary relevance in a world where far too many injustices remain. In short, the main protest is herein presented as an awe-inspiring moment, simultaneously as a compass and a key, which when integrated with a PACS perspective serves to guide us towards a fuller understanding of the Olympic Project for Human Rights and it goals, unlocking what is revealed in this study to be a potentially important moment in the
history of cultures of peace.

▼ The purpose of this study is to explore an aspect of Canadian religious
history that has been largely neglected by historians, namely the relationship between conservative Protestant Christianity and mainline Protestantism from the early twentieth century to the 1960s, and address critical questions related to the continued presence of conservative Protestant Christianity in Canadian society. Through its focus on relations between conservative and mainline Protestants in Winnipeg, it will examine whether the abandonment of evangelicalism in mainline Protestant churches contributed to the growth of groups like the Pentecostal movement throughout the first half of the twentieth century. It will investigate whether Pentecostals and other evangelical groups filled the void vacated by the liberalizing mainline denominations. And finally, it will consider whether the continued growth in membership of conservative Protestant churches in the middle decades of the twentieth century was indeed influenced by conflict between liberal and conservative Protestants.
My dissertation addresses the place of conservative Protestant Christianity by examining a specific event. The A.C. Valdez Pentecostal healing campaign in Winnipeg in 1952, and the murder of a seven-year old girl by her parents, long-time members of the United Church unhinged by the Valdez claim that the end of the world was imminent, sparked vigorous public debate and exposed long standing tensions within the Protestant world of Winnipeg and elsewhere. I argue that the campaign and the murder were watershed moments in the religious
history of Winnipeg and provide many insights into the larger Canadian context. An analysis of these events shows both the mass public appeal of Pentecostal evangelism and the liberal Protestant response revealing deep-seated theological divisions among evangelical and non-evangelical Protestants in the city. The event was a turning point in the religious
history of the city that marked the beginning of a new era that saw Pentecostalism emerge as one of the centres of aggressive evangelism as mainline Protestantism retreated to a modernist theology that increasingly abandoned the evangelical beliefs of its past.

▼ This doctoral thesis explores the uniqueness of Cree spirituality and law, based in part on oral histories and on Euro-Canadian literal evidence, specifically the multi-volumes of the Jesuit Relations and the thousands of Hudson’s Bay Company manuscripts that re-enforce insights into this Aboriginal governing system. Taken together, the oral and literal primary evidences will define how spirituality and law pre-existed colonisation and are manifested within self-governing institutions currently pursued by First Nations. The purpose is to understand better Cree spirituality and law as captured in Cree self-government models. This Aboriginal legal
history contains and studies a plan of action for future self-governance based on inherent Aboriginal legal traditions and jurisprudence.

▼ My dissertation, “Early Modern Editors and the Value of Middle English Literature,” examines the emergence of editorial figures in sixteenth-century editions of Sir Isumbras, Robert Henryson’s Fables, John Lydgate’s Serpent of Division, and Geoffrey Chaucer’s poetry. My study argues that the increasing alterity of Middle English texts in the early modern period compelled editorial interventions designed to make the texts accessible as well as to identify, to emphasize, or to establish the texts’ relevance to contemporary audiences. Early editors managed and controlled the contents and appearance of the books in which the older literary texts appeared in order to redefine their value and purpose for a new audience. They accomplished this with practices such as editing the primary text, collecting or contributing paratext, selecting or designing codicological features, as well as through methods I have termed “codicological translation,” “gathering and framing,” and “selective copying and purposeful omission.” By comparing what these editors say they are doing in their prefatory writings to the results of their editorial contributions, my methodology allows me to determine what these early editors believed themselves to be doing, why, and in what context. These insights have significant implications for the study of both early modern book
history and literature. Specifically, they contribute to developing academic conversations among critics like Stephanie Trigg, Tim William Machan, and A.E.B. Coldiron concerning the influence and authority of editors and craftspeople in the production of early modern books.

▼ In October 1875 the Canadian government reserved a tract of land along the southwest shore of Lake Winnipeg for the exclusive use of Icelandic immigrants. This was part of a larger policy of reserving land for colonization projects involving European immigrants with a common ethno-religious background. The purpose of this policy was to promote the rapid resettlement and agricultural development of Aboriginal territory in the Canadian Northwest. The case of the Icelandic reserve, or Nýja Ísland (New Iceland), provides a revealing window into this policy, and the ways in which it intersected with the larger processes of colonization in the region during the late nineteenth century.
The central problem that this study addresses is the uneasy fit between "colonization reserves" such as New Iceland and the political, economic and cultural logic of nineteenth-century liberalism. Earlier studies have interpreted group settlements as either aberrations from the "normal" pattern of pioneer individualism or communitarian alternatives to it. This study, by contrast, argues that colonization reserves were part of a spatial regime that reflected liberal categories of difference that were integral to the extension of a new liberal colonial order in the region.
Using official documents, immigrant letters and contemporary newspapers, this study examines the Icelandic colonists’ relationship to the Aboriginal people they displaced, to other settler groups, and to the Canadian state. It draws out the tensions between the designs and perceptions of government officials in Ottawa and Winnipeg, the administrative machinery of the state, and the lives and strategies of people attempting to navigate shifting positions within colonial hierarchies of race and culture.

▼ Saxicolous lichens on exposed bedrock are subjected to desiccation stress and intense light levels. Members of the genera Xanthoparmelia and Arctoparmelia are common foliose lichens on the Precambrian Shield, produce abundant sexual structures, and form part of the bedrock communities. The general goal of this thesis was to better understand the influence of community and underlying geology on three saxicolous lichens: Arctoparmelia centrifuga, Xanthoparmelia viriduloumbrina and X. cumberlandia. More specific goals were further examined in five chapters to investigate: 1) life
history strategies of the three species, 2) a trade-off between fecundity and fungal secondary metabolite production; 3) an effect of substratum element composition on previously defined communities and lichen biology, 4) substratum preferences of Xanthoparmelia species, and 5) the photobiont guild hypothesis of the three species in a preliminary study. Field collections of lichens and environmental data were made in four locations on the Precambrian Shield in Manitoba and Ontario. Secondary metabolites were determined by digitally enhanced thin-layer chromatography. Fecundity was measured by number of apothecia, ascospores, and percent germination. Elements in rock samples were quantified by aqua-regia digest and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis and light microscopy was used to observe and quantify fungal germination and growth. The results showed eighty-one lichen species comprising three lichen communities; mossy rock, grassy rock, and treed rock communities. Lichen communities and fecundity were used to characterize life
history strategies as competitive for Arctoparmelia centrifuga, stress tolerant for Xanthoparmelia viriduloumbrina, and ruderal generalist for Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia. A potential trade-off was reported for X. cumberlandia between sexual fecundity and a secondary metabolite. Substratum preferences were found at the genus level and element differences at the species level. Experimental evidence further supported geological preferences for the three species. Finally, the photobiont guild hypothesis could not be supported by this preliminary work. This research provides a broad overview of ecological and biological patterns found in Arctoparmelia and Xanthoparmelia species. The research forms a foundation for further studies in substratum preference and life
history characterization in lichens. It can be further applied to habitat suitability modelling which may be valuable for phylogenetic context or in conservation biology of lichens.

▼ Biodiversity within species is influenced by both adaptation and acclimatization in order to exploit a range of environments. Taxa within the genus Salvelinus are considered some of the most diverse vertebrate species on earth particularly Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus, and lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush, due to various morphotypes, ecotypes, and life
history strategies documented. The goal of this thesis was to describe factors influencing the formation and maintenance of biodiversity within species, using lake trout within the brackish waters of Husky Lakes, NT. To accomplish the goal I 1) determined life
history types present within the Husky Lakes drainage basin (HLDB); 2) assessed how differences in rearing environment influenced physiology; 3) assessed differences in growth rates and longevity among life
history types; and 4) assessed genetic structure among life
history types and sampling locations. My data indicate that three life
history types are present within the HLDB, freshwater resident, semi-anadromous, and brackish-water resident, suggesting two discrete early rearing environments are used (fresh and brackish water). Assessment of rearing in fresh (0 psu) or brackish water (5 psu) indicates that lake trout reared in brackish water out performed those raised in fresh water when transferred to 20 psu salt water. Additionally, brackish-water residents grew faster and lived longer than did semi-anadromous and freshwater resident lake trout in the HLDB. Also, brackish-water residents were genetically differentiated from sympatric semi-anadromous life
history types suggesting segregation in spawning habitat. These findings are the first documentation of a brackish-water resident life
history type within lake trout and one of only a few within salmonids. This novel life
history type appears to be influenced by both phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation to brackish-water environments allowing for faster growth rates, increased longevity, and a larger abundance in Husky Lakes. Within this thesis I expanded the spectrum of known life
history diversity within lake trout and Salvelinus, demonstrated that lake trout are more saline tolerant that originally documented, identified mechanisms that aid in forming and maintaining biodiversity, and contributed to the belief that lake trout are one of the most diverse vertebrates on earth.

▼ Recently, Hudson Bay experienced unidirectional trends in temperature, sea-ice extent, time of break-up, and length of the open-water season. Predicted impacts on population dynamics of ice-associated species include habitat loss and shift in prey availability. The ringed seal (Phoca hispida) depends on a stable ice platform with sufficient snow depth and a productive open-water season for reproduction and survival. Evidence of ringed seal sensitivity to environmental variations has been reported, but mechanisms involved were poorly understood. In western Hudson Bay, density, life-
history traits, and diet of ringed seals were monitored over two decades, providing an opportunity to understand the effects of climatic variations on the population dynamics of this long-lived carnivore. Ringed seal density was estimated through strip-transect analyses after aerial surveys were flown in western Hudson Bay in late spring during the annual moult in the 1990s and 2000s. During these periods, ringed seals were also sampled from Inuit subsistence fall harvests In Arviat, NU, and ages, reproductive status, percentage of pups in the harvest, body condition, and diet were assessed. Strong inter-annual variations in these parameters were observed, and a decadal cycle was suggested and related to variations in the sea-ice regime. The cold and heavy ice conditions that prevailed in western Hudson Bay in 1991-92 likely induced a decrease in pelagic productivity, reducing the availability to ringed seals of sand lances (Ammodytes sp.), their major prey. The nutritional stress endured, combined with a strong predation pressure, led to a decrease in ringed seal reproductive performances, pup survival, and density during the 1990s. The recovery of ringed seal demographic parameters and number in the 2000s was associated with the immigration of pups, juveniles, and young adults into western Hudson Bay. Impact of current climatic trends on ringed seal population dynamics was not apparent, but considering the limited range of environmental variations tolerated by ringed seals, the response of this species to climate warming might be of a catastrophic type. Ringed seals were found to be good indicators of ecosystem changes, and long-term monitoring of the species in Hudson Bay should be a priority.

▼ Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and highly aggressive form of primary brain cancer. GB invasiveness and the development of treatment resistance are major clinical challenges. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We identified the presence of relaxin family peptide receptor1 (RXFP1) and discovered C1q-tumor necrosis factor-related peptide 8 (CTRP8) as a novel RXFP1 ligand in GB cells. I demonstrate a novel mechanistic link between the activated RXFP1 and DNA protection against alkylating drugs in human GB.
Like relaxin (RLN2), CTRP8 was able to bind to and activate RXFP1 in GB cells. This resulted in STAT3 signaling and enhanced the protection of cells from temozolomide (TMZ)-induced DNA damage. TMZ chemoresistance is a common occurrence and a major cause for fatal outcome in GB. TMZ induced DNA damage is repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Impaired BER eventually leads to double strand DNA (dsDNA) breaks which are detected by phosphorylated γH2AX and comet assay. CTRP8-RXFP1 activation was able to protect cells from TMZ-induced DNA damage and enhanced GB survival. Activation of RXFP1 caused the STAT3-dependent up-regulation of the BER member N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) which has a key role in the first step of BER. RXFP1-STAT3 signaling increased both MPG protein content and activity.
High Mobility Group AT-hook protein 2 (HMGA2) is a non-histone chromatin protein which is a BER member containing AP/dRP lyase activity. HMGA2 protein expression increases upon CTRP8/RLN2-RXFP1-STAT3 pathway activation. The presence of HMGA2 reduced TMZ-induced DNA damage as detected by γH2AX. The knockdown of HMGA2 sensitized GB cells to TMZ and increased apoptosis. Dovitinib, (DOV) is a FDA-approved agent. DOV enhanced TMZ sensitivity by downregulating key factors in BER and MGMT. DOV inhibited phospho-STAT3Tyr705-LIN28A which are upstream regulators of HMGA2. HMGA2 played an importance role to promote TMZ chemoresistance. The sequential treatment with DOV and TMZ decreased in cell viability in GB cells.
Results indicate a novel role for the CTRP8-RXFP1 ligand-receptor system in STAT3-dependent TMZ chemoresistance, and survival. I applied DOV to sensitize GB cells to TMZ-induced DNA damage to provide a new and attractive therapeutic target to improve TMZ efficacy in GB patients.

▼ Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a prevalent mental health disorder in Western societies (Stein & Stein, 2008). Having SAD is marked by significant impairment in interpersonal relationships and general life functioning in part because persons with SAD often experience social interactions as threatening and commonly avoid them or perform poorly in them (Katzelnick et al., 2001). Self-affirmation is an intervention shown to help individuals engage effectively in situations they perceive as threatening (Sherman & Hartson, 2011). I hypothesized that self-affirmation would allow socially anxious individuals to participate in more social activities and do so with less anxiety, through abstract construals of experience. Socially anxious university students participated in a mini-longitudinal study which had 3 phases: 1) baseline measurement of social anxiety and other self-report measures; 2) in-person procedures including random assignment to affirming writing, the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) for Groups (an impromptu speech and mental math), measures of cortisol and anxiety, and SAD psychoeducation; 3) one-month follow-up measurement of baseline measures. There was no immediate benefit of self-affirmation. However, at follow-up, self-affirmed students reported significantly less discomfort, anxiety, and distress with regards to a variety of social behaviors as well as a significantly more engagement in these behaviors, compared with their baseline and non-affirmed students. Contrary to expectations, construals shifted to concrete over the course of the study for both the affirmed and non-affirmed. As it was not clear the immediate threat of the TSST was necessary to reveal the benefit of self-affirmation, a second study was conducted. Study 2 had the same phases as the first but without the in-person components of Phase 2, with a winter term follow-up to examine level of construal, and included both socially phobic and non-socially phobic students. Results indicated an effect of time of term on construals and provided evidence that at least one of the in-person components of Study 1 may be necessary for there to be a benefit of self-affirmation. Implications of these results for broadening our conceptualization of self-affirmation and for its potential utility as an adjunct to exposure-based therapies for SAD are discussed.

▼ Capelin (Mallotus villosus) is the key forage fish in the north Atlantic. A short-term anomalous event in Newfoundland waters in the early 1990’s caused many changes to their biology, including excursions into alternate (subtidal) spawning habitats. Subtidal spawning sites have drastically different environmental conditions than the beach sites that they have been using since at least the 1940’s. This thesis examines various aspects of the reproductive biology of capelin to understand the mechanisms underlying the use of two environmentally divergent spawning habitats.
Local adaptation in early life
history stages was examined by raising artificially fertilized capelin eggs across three temperatures that capelin are likely to encounter at both spawning habitats. At cool to medium temperatures, larvae experienced higher hatching success, were larger at hatching and had more nutritional reserves relative to warm temperature conditions. There was no evidence of local adaptation, providing the first support for a facultative spawning strategy. The influence of global warming temperatures may be buffered through the utilization of either spawning habitat provided it is within this thermal optimum. A comparative analysis of adult body shape and condition between the two habitats provided further evidence that spawning habitat use in a given year is facultative.
Patterns in fecundity drastically changed for capelin since it was last examined prior to the 1990’s. In addition to lower average population fecundity, a wide range of fecundities was also observed across all length-classes. I show that the strong relationship between length and fecundity in capelin has broken down in recent years, making easily collected size measurements an inappropriate proxy for the reproductive potential of this fish.
Within-female variation in offspring size and developmental duration was higher when compared to among-female variation. This supports diversified bet-hedging in capelin, a strategy that would allow capelin to spawn in thermally available habitats without experiencing reproductive failure in exceedingly warm or cold years. It is likely that high variation in traits allow capelin to utilize alternate spawning habitats, ensuring that at least some larvae survive.

▼ Ultrasonic wave transport in strongly scattering, disordered media is investigated via analysis of the multiply-scattered transmitted field. Measurements of transverse confinement, statistics, and correlations of the intensity were performed on an aluminum mesoglass, where aluminum beads were brazed together to form a porous slab sample. Comparison of the transverse confinement measurements with the self-consistent theory of localization was used to identify and locate a mobility edge in the sample at f = 1.1011 MHz, enabling a measurement of the critical exponent nu characterizing the Anderson transition, nu ~ 1.6–2. Infinite-range C0 correlations were observed, and observed to grow dramatically near the mobility edge, along with the C2 and C3 correlations. Measurements of the multifractal exponent Delta_2 were able to confirm the link between C0 correlations and Anderson localization. Experiments using the aluminum mesoglass with ethanol-filled pores showed evidence of two nearly-independent propagating modes, one of which appears to be characterized by a strongly renormalized diffusion coefficient. The density of states and level spacing statistics were investigated using a different mesoglass, constructed by sintering glass beads percolated on a random lattice. Direct measurements of these quantities were obtained by cutting small samples of this mesoglass, allowing individual vibrational modes to be resolved. The density of states showed a plateau extending well into the expected Debye regime, and evidence of a Boson peak was observed at low frequencies. The level spacing statistics indicated that transport in the frequency ranges measured was on the diffusive side of the mobility edge, showing agreement with the predictions of the GOE from random matrix theory. The dynamics of a suspension of bubbles were investigated using phase-based Diffusing Acoustic Wave Spectroscopy, where phase correlations were found to give additional information beyond traditional field- and intensity-based correlation measurements.

▼ This qualitative study examined instructors’ perceptions of teaching practices and their
experiences teaching blended learning at the University of Manitoba. Using in-depth interviews,this study (a) explored instructors’ teaching practices and their experiences teaching using blended learning in higher education, (b) examined the extent to which elements of the community of inquiry framework (designed along social constructivist learning principles) were incorporated into instructors’ approaches, and (c) examined which learning theories influenced the teaching of blended learning courses at the university of Manitoba as well as their impact on effective instruction and learning in higher education contexts. The study revealed that instructors found convenience, accessibility, and cognitive flexibility to be some of the main benefits of blended learning for learners. Instructors adopted the underlying principles of social constructivism. In their teaching, they focused on several issues, including their complex role as instructors. This role included enhancing the learning experience through the use of the online component of the course, understanding the learner and appreciating their experience, being present, and creating a collaborative and engaging learning environment. The instructors expressed the need for institutional and technological support, as well as professional development. Suggestions for university instructors included pre-planning, considering learners and their experiences, creativity, flexibility and perseverance, and attending training sessions/workshops. Students were advised to put more effort into being open and self-directed,investing in their learning experience, and adopting a positive attitude.

▼ A mixed methods qualitative design was employed to explore relationship satisfaction in women who are currently living in heterosexual relationships where violence has occurred and desisted in an attempt to understand this phenomenon from their perspective. The study examined the following two key areas of inquiry: 1) how satisfied are women with their relationships and what elements are important to them in determining relationship satisfaction, and 2) how do women who stay in relationships where violence has occurred understand changes in the violence and what impact does the meaning they make of these changes have on their current relationship satisfaction. A total of 15 women participated in the study. Women reported a wide range of relationship satisfaction. In assessing their relationship satisfaction, they identified factors commonly identified in existing literature on relationship satisfaction such as trust, good communication, closeness, support, and respect, but also emphasized the importance of relationship security and stability. The findings suggested a process in which perceptions of past
violence shaped perceptions of changes in the relationship that further shaped the narratives the women chose to tell about their relationship satisfaction. Women who reported greater satisfaction perceived their relationships as aligning more closely to a dominant narrative of being in a changed relationship. This narrative included a) the presence of at least one pivotal turning point in the relationship that helped establish a sense of increased safety in the relationship, and b) a resolution of the causes that women identified as contributing to the occurrence of violence. Dominant social discourses on love were employed to help bolster relationship satisfaction through processes of minimization, denial, self-silencing, justification, and romanticizing. Findings suggest that women’s perceptions of violence are pivotal in
understanding relationship satisfaction in this population.

(more)
▼ Balance control is important for biped standing. Due to the time-varying control bounds induced by the foot constraints, and the lack of tools for analyzing stability of highly nonlinear systems, it is extremely difficult to design balance control strategies for a standing biped with a rigorous stability analysis in spite of large efforts. In this thesis, three important issues are fully considered for a standing biped: maintaining the postural stability, minimizing the energy consumption and satisfying the constraints between the biped feet and the ground. Both the theoretical and the experimental studies on the constrained and energy-efficient control are carried out systematically using the genetic algorithm (GA). The stability for the proposed balancing system is thoroughly investigated using the concept of Lyapunov exponents. On the other hand, the controlled standing biped is characterized by high nonlinearity and great complexity. For systems with such features, in general the Lyapunov exponents are hard to be estimated using the model-based method. Meanwhile the biped is supposed to be stabilized at the upright posture, indicating that the system should possess negative Lyapunov exponents only. However the accuracy of negative exponents is usually poor if following the traditional time-series-based methods. As it is nontrivial to examine the system stability for bipedal robots, the numerical accuracy of the estimated Lyapunov exponents is extremely demanding. In this research, two novel approaches are proposed based upon system approximation using different types of Radial-Basis-Function (RBF) networks. Both the proposed methods can estimate the exponents reliably with straightforward algorithms, yet no mathematical model is required in any newly developed method. The efficacies of both methods are demonstrated through a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) balancing system for a standing biped, as well as several other dynamical systems. The thesis as a whole, has set up a framework for developing more sophisticated controllers in more complex movement for robot models with less conservative assumptions. The systematic stability analysis shown in this thesis has a great potential for many other engineering systems.

▼ Level 6 of the Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) assesses the ease or difficulty with which persons with developmental disabilities (DD) are able to learn a two-choice auditory-visual discrimination. Individuals with DD who have passed ABLA Level 6 are likely to have at least some language skills, and their language is likely to be more complex than those individuals who have not passed Level 6 (Marion et al., 2003). Thus, an individual’s performance on Level 6 of the ABLA may be predictive of the types of language skills he/she will readily learn. Previous research (Verbeke, Martin, Yu & Martin, 2007) demonstrated that an individual’s pass/fail performance on ABLA Level 6 predicted his or her ability to point to pictures of common objects when the tester said the names of the objects. The present research examined whether performance on ABLA Level 6 might predict the ability of a person with a severe DD to learn to say the names of common objects (called tacting). Specifically, this study investigated whether participants who passed ABLA Level 6 (the Auditory-Visual Group – Group 1) would more readily learn object naming behavior (vocal tacts) than those clients who failed ABLA Level 6 (the Visual Group – Group 2). The groups were matched on the Communication Subscale of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS). Results indicated that: (a) Group 1 met mastery criterion for a significantly larger number of naming responses than Group 2; and (b) the mean number of trials to mastery criterion was significantly lower in Group 1 than in Group 2. The implications for language training are discussed.

▼ A number of government policy-makers and education researchers have called for new approaches to address experiential learning that more fully recognize the validity and importance of learning acquired outside the formal education system. The term, experiential learning is often used in conjunction with non-formal learning that adult learners achieve through concrete experience. In Canada, the recognition of non-formal and informal learning is known as Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR).
There are significant economic consequences for failing to address unrecognized learning in Canada, particularly among the immigrant population. In spite of higher education efforts to achieve massification and universal access in North America and around the globe, not all sectors of society have benefitted equally. The research shows that PLAR can be a key driver for addressing changes in workforce participation, an aging population and economic competitiveness, and is an important process for recognizing foreign credentials (Smith & Clayton, 2009; Spencer, 2005). Concurrently, PLAR is a mechanism for achieving access to and widening participation in post-secondary education (Peruniak & Powell, 2007). A cluster of approaches and initiatives that comprise PLAR have been developed and implemented at post-secondary institutions. However, they remain fragmented and seriously under-supported, particularly at Canadian universities.
The purpose of this case study is to advance our knowledge about PLAR within the university setting by exploring some of the elements of PLAR policy and practice identified in the literature. The study focuses on these elements and analyzes them through the conceptual framework of professional capital. Data collection was based on document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study indicate that on the one hand, there are differences in understanding often associated with PLAR, on the other, there may be opportunities lost. Additional findings relate to the invisibility of PLAR, and the roadblocks to implementation. The study uncovered an intrinsic belief in the value and benefits of PLAR among participants, as well as insights and constructive ideas for moving forward. The study suggest several research opportunities for PLAR in the future university.

▼ We investigate various methods for testing whether two groups of curves are statistically significantly different, with the motivation to apply the techniques to the
analysis of data arising from designed experiments. We propose a set of tests based on pairwise differences between individual curves. Our objective is to compare the power and robustness of a variety of tests, including a collection of permutation tests, a test based on the functional principal components scores, the adaptive Neyman test and the functional F test. We illustrate the application of these tests in the context of a designed 2
4 factorial experiment with a case study using data provided by NASA. We apply the methods for comparing curves to this factorial data by dividing the data into two groups by each effect (A, B, . . . , ABCD) in turn. We carry out a large simulation study investigating the power of the tests in detecting contamination, location, and shift effects on unimodal and monotone curves. We conclude that the permutation test using the mean of the pairwise differences in L1 norm has the best overall power performance and is a robust test statistic applicable in a wide variety of situations. The advantage of using a permutation test is that it is an exact, distribution-free test that performs well overall when applied to functional data. This test may be extended to more than two groups by constructing test statistics based on averages of pairwise differences between curves from the different groups and, as such, is an important building-block for larger experiments and more complex designs.

▼ The purpose of the proposed study is to consider why and under which conditions do supervisors engage in abusive behaviours towards their subordinates. To answer my first research question, why do supervisors engage in abusive supervision, I draw on victim precipitation (e.g., Sparks, Glenn, & Dodd, 1977) and conservation of resources (COR; Hobfoll, 1989) theories to argue that certain subordinate performance-related behaviours and characteristics threaten supervisor resources leading to abuse as a stress reaction. To answer my second research question, under which conditions do supervisors engage in abusive supervision, I draw on attribution theory (Heider, 1958; Weiner, 1986). I argue that supervisors abuse subordinates when they attribute responsibility, or blame subordinates for negative performance-related behaviours and characteristics, as a means of protecting or guarding against future resource loss. To answer my research questions, I developed measures for self- and other-perceived general mental ability (GMA) and blame attributions. I obtained data from 211 supervisor-subordinate dyads in Canada and the United States. Respondents were surveyed for information about their work behaviours, characteristics, and relationships. Using Hayes (2013) PROCESS macros, I found partial support for the proposed model and offer refinements to COR and victim precipitation theories. I found relationships between both self- and supervisor-reported subordinate behaviours and characteristics and abusive supervision, largely in the direction hypothesized. I also found supervisor-reported subordinate performance behaviours and perceived GMA to share a stronger relationship with subordinate reports of abusive supervision than subordinate reported behaviours and characteristics in many instances.

▼ While Prisoner of War (POW) films made in the twenty years following World War II are usually panned for their saccharine nostalgia, they are also imbued with the context of their time. That is, they engage with expressions of nationality, patriotism, gender, and various other markers of identity that are set during World War II, but very much reflect their respective postwar national climates.
This thesis focuses on the dramatization of camp spaces in these films and the relationships and ideologies they foster. Spatial theorists like Henri Lefebvre and Edward Soja, and Michel Foucault’s biopolitical scholarship, ground my research into three distinctive national cinemas, Britain, France, and America. I argue that British films like The Captive Heart (1946), Albert, R.N. (1953), The Colditz Story (1955), Very Important Person (1961), and The Password is Courage (1962) exemplify British POW cinema’s practice of reimagining what Britishness entails while building a broader community. In contrast, French films like A Man Escaped (1956) and Le caporal épinglé (1962) dramatize pessimistic views of postwar French identity and suggest that community is overrated and that independence is the best way forward. American POW films like Decision Before Dawn (1951), Stalag 17 (1957), 36 Hours (1964), and King Rat (1965) point out flaws in exceptionalist attitudes and highlight the virtues of other ways of moving through conflict. Finally, my examination of The Great Escape (1963) and The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) looks at how these films use camp space to reinforce expected, and even stereotypical, ways of asserting identity. These films draw attention away from the binary ally/enemy, good/bad, masculine/feminine assertions of identity seen in combat films and instead dramatize culture-reflecting shifts in those values using the prison camp space.

▼ Is postpartum depression (PPD) a distinct syndrome from depression that occurs at other times in women’s lives? How might certain vulnerabilities increase the risk of PPD and enhance our understanding of PPD etiology and phenomenology? The current study sought to answer these questions using a cross-sectional survey with a sample of 67 participants comprising two groups of mothers: postpartum depressed (n = 37) and nonpostpartum depressed (n = 30). Between subjects comparisons revealed that relative to nonpostpartum depressed women, women with PPD had more unrealistic expectations for motherhood, less consistent and confidently defined self-concept, and higher depression severity based on a measure of postpartum symptomatology, lending support to the "distinction hypothesis." The study also evaluated a cognitive diathesis-stress model for PPD. Different best fit models were identified for each type of maladjustment: symptomatology versus relationship maladjustment (partner, mother, or baby). State anxiety and unrealistic expectations predicted PPD symptoms, and self-concept clarity emerged as a consistent predictor of relationship maladjustment. Active and passive facets of perfectionistic self-presentation were predictors of maladjustment particular to partner relationship. Different levels of each cognitive vulnerability revealed vulnerability versus resiliency effects. Models with interactions between cognitive vulnerability and two types of loss, interpersonal and independent, confirmed the important role of self-categorized perceptions of loss as moderator in the prediction of maladjustment. Significant interactions between maladaptive independent goal orientation, self-criticism, and independent loss in prediction of depression, the "match hypothesis", was confirmed for both groups of mothers. The more powerful negative impact of self-criticism, compared to interpersonal goal orientation, on PPD was confirmed, and the impact of adaptive independent goal orientation, self-efficacy, on NPP MDD was demonstrated. Unique conceptualization of PPD was supported with exploratory investigation of prediction models for nonpostpartum depression in mothers. The discussion considered implications for tailored prevention and treatment, and women’s and societal perceptions of experiences of PPD. Namely, traditional interventions such as IPT and CBT were supported, and flexible approaches and aspects of treatment such as in-home visits, enlisting close others, facilitating adaptive vulnerability, relying on a range of health professionals, and early screening for psychological vulnerabilities in medical visits were recommended.

▼ Abstract
Smoking continues to be a major public health issue worldwide. It is associated with elevated rates of potential years of life lost, mortality, reduced life expectancy and chronic diseases. This dissertation contains three essays on the consequences and control of tobacco in Canada.
Essay one (Chapter 2) used the 2009/10 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) to examine the prevalence and the factors associated with smoking behavior during pregnancy. Results from multivariable logistic regression revealed that the odds of smoking during pregnancy were decreased with increasing age, having a regular family doctor, and having highest level of family income. Mothers who reported poor or fair self-perceived health and those who had at least one mental illness had greater odds of smoking during pregnancy.
Essay two (Chapter 3) used data from the 2012/13 Canadian Youth Smoking Survey to estimate the elasticity of smoking initiation and intensity. We found that a 1% increase in price leads to a 1.13% reduction in initiation and a 1.02% reduction in intensity; while 1% increase in income leads to a 0.07% increase in initiation and a 0.06% increase in intensity. The effects of pocket money are much smaller in magnitude than the response of smoking to the price of cigarettes.
Essay three (Chapter 4) used data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey to examine whether smoking status is associated with a reduction in health related quality of life (HRQoL) as measured by the Health Utility Index (HUI3); to calculate the overall loss of HRQoL over a lifetime and economic burden of loss; and to compare smoking related losses in HRQoL by age and gender. The results demonstrated that smoking was significantly and negatively associated with HRQoL loss and also is associated with substantial individual and societal economic cost.
In summary, the findings from this research not only can guide public healthcare providers to promote health within the target population, but also has important implications for tobacco control policies. Enhanced tobacco prevention will not only improve HRQoL but also will generate returns on investment from smoking cessation programs.

▼ With the increase in e-learning systems being used for varying populations and source materials (Wang, 2014), research is beginning to emerge on maximizing the effectiveness of such systems. Video modelling has been shown to be effective in teaching behavioural interventions to individuals with developmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (Hong et al., 2016); however, little research is available on teaching behavioural interventions with video modelling in combination with e-learning systems such as the computer-aided personalized system of instruction (CAPSI) (Pear & Kinsner, 1988). There are two viewing formats of video modelling – point-of-view (POV) and third-person perspective (TPP). The purpose of this study was to first determine which of these two formats is more effective in teaching a behavioural intervention both didactically and procedurally, and second, to use that viewing format to compare the effectiveness of (a) CAPSI in combination with a self-instructional manual (SIM) and the more effective viewing format of video modelling with (b) the same video modelling demonstration and SIM in the absence of CAPSI in teaching a behavioural intervention, again, both didactically and procedurally. To accomplish this, two experiments were carried out. The first experiment using university students enrolled in an introductory psychology course and utilizing a modified reversal design with embedded alternating treatments, compared the relative effectiveness of POV versus TPP in teaching discrete trials teaching (DTT) methodology both didactically and procedurally. Results showed that the effectiveness of POV and TPP were similar but somewhat task dependent. Therefore, a video model demonstrating a DTT session was created combining both POV and TPP components. The second experiment, also recruiting university students enrolled in an introductory psychology course but through a group design, compared the effectiveness of CAPSI, the SIM, and the video model versus the video model and SIM alone. Using a p-value of .05 to test for statistical significance, results from Experiment 2 showed no statistically significant difference between groups, suggesting that CAPSI and a video model does not add anything in terms of effectiveness when compared to a self-instructional manual plus a video model when teaching DTT both didactically and procedurally.

▼ While studying site selective palladium catalyzed Suzuki cross coupling on E-1,2-dichlorovinylphenyl ketone, a loss of stereochemistry was observed in the cross coupled product. It was soon discovered that extent of the isomerized cross coupled product formed was dependent on the phosphine ligand employed in the Suzuki cross coupling reaction conditions. With the careful choice of the phosphine ligand, the reaction conditions were designed to form either retention Suzuki cross coupled product or isomerized Suzuki cross coupled product selectively. The use of DPEphos or Xantphos ligand resulted in 96% selectivity of the isomerized cross coupled product whereas reactions in the presence t-Bu-Xantphos or no phosphine ligand resulted in 94% selectivity of the retention cross coupled product.
While studying the pathway by which the loss of stereochemistry could take place in the Suzuki cross coupling reaction, many well accepted pathways such as thermal isomerization, photo-isomerization, reversible Michael addition of phosphine, isomerization due to intrinsic zwitterionic character of the vinyl palladium species, generation of palladium hydrides in the reaction conditions etc. were ruled out. It was found that E-Suzuki cross coupled product isomerizes to Z-Suzuki cross coupled product in the presence of just palladium catalyst. This observation along with other experimental results are well explained by a mechanism first proposed by Canovese and Visentin for the isomerization of dimethyl maleate in the presence of palladium catalyst. According to this mechanism, an isomerization takes place by a mere coordination of the substrate to the palladium catalyst without any external promoter.
The isomerized outcome in the reactions is usually unwanted but the ability to supress or promote isomerization nearly completely is remarkable. The experimental data not only suggests that the isomerization takes place by a mere coordination of the Suzuki cross coupled product with palladium catalyst but also demonstrates that the Suzuki cross coupling reaction is indeed stereospecific in nature and that the isomerization occurs by a separate catalytic cycle. It was also observed that the presence of a single conjugated carbonyl group is sufficient to induce the isomerization. Based on this observation, one can expect isomerization in the substrates possessing an enone functionality. This is a significant observation as enone substrates are one of the important classes in the organic synthesis and prior knowledge of how these substrates can behave during Pd/phosphine catalyzed reactions is very useful.

▼ How individual differences in shame are influenced by children’s developing social-cognitive skills is poorly understood in the psychological literature. Furthermore, developmental theories propose that social cognition and parental socialization jointly influence children’s emotional development. Despite the theoretical discussion about this developmental interplay, there is a paucity of empirical evidence about the relations between social cognition, socialization, and shame in childhood. The current study examined the relations among children’s interpretive theory of mind (IToM), authoritarian parenting style, parent religiosity, and children’s shame. Proneness to shame is problematic for some children, thus understanding why children vary in shame proneness could help us treat it. Method: Children completed tasks measuring IToM performance and self-reported shame. Mothers self-reported authoritarian parenting style, maternal religiosity, and reported on all relevant demographic variables. Analyses: Regression analyses tested the hypothesis that advanced IToM skills attenuate the positive association between authoritarian parenting and child shame. This study also predicted that maternal religiosity, child age, child gender, and social class, explain the variability in child shame. Discussion: Unexpectedly, the only significant outcome was a positive association between maternal religiosity and child shame. Results are discussed in the context of previous research on religiosity, socialization, social cognition, and child shame. In the literature, parental religiosity has been a largely overlooked influence on children’s self-conscious emotional development. Previous studies mostly examined religious affiliation, making this study’s finding an important contribution to the literature on children’s self-conscious emotional development.

▼ This thesis introduces a comprehensive methodology to improve electromagnetic transient (EMT) modelling of power cables systems. Several improved modelling and validation techniques are proposed at the parameter estimation, time domain simulation and validation stages of the EMT modelling of transmission lines.
A novel approach is developed to model sector-shaped cables in electromagnetic transient type programs. First, the applicability of elemental sub-conductor technique is extended to accurately calculate the frequency dependent impedances of sector-shaped cables. The derived admittance and propagation characteristics of the sector-shaped cable are fitted with rational functions using the method of vector fitting in an EMT-type program. The time domain simulations are validated with the numerical inverse Laplace transform method.
A novel frequency domain approach is presented to model cascaded transmission systems. The procedure is based on obtaining four composite propagation functions representing the cascaded system. The performance of the technique does not diminish with increased number of cascaded segments and it preserves the intrinsic details of each line segment. This method is capable of modelling cascaded overhead lines or cables with different characteristic admittances and line lengths. This method can be used to validate EMT models of cascaded transmission systems.
An improved generalized transmission line model is introduced which is capable of accommodating time steps greater than the travel time of the line. The time step of the conventional EMT models of transmission lines is constrained by the smallest travel time of the line. When the high frequency transients at the line terminations are not of interest, inaccurate nominal π equivalents are used with large time steps to reduce the computational burden. The proposed model not only is more accurate than the π equivalents, but also degenerates to the conventional frequency dependent EMT model when used with time steps smaller than the travel time. Therefore, the proposed model is highly convenient as it can be used for all types of EMT simulations without resorting to nominal π equivalents when the large simulation time steps must be used to reduce computational burden.

▼ Objective: Although many children are placed in care of child protection services each year, very little is known about how having a child placed in care affects the health and well-being of biological mothers. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge.
Methods: The linkable administrative data housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy were used to create several cohorts of mothers whose children were born in Manitoba, Canada, identified through child protection case files. Maternal health and social outcomes in the years before and after having a child taken into care were compared using generalized estimating equations. Poisson regression models were used to obtain relative rates of mental health-related outcomes for mothers whose children were taken into care and mothers whose children died. Incidence rate ratios of suicide attempts and completions were obtained using fixed-effects Poisson regression models. Finally, Cox proportional hazard regression models determined rates of avoidable and unavoidable mortality among mothers whose children were taken into care.
Results: Compared with mothers whose children were not placed in care, mothers whose children were taken into care have significantly higher rates of anxiety, substance use, physician visits, hospitalizations, prescriptions, and income assistance use in the years before their children were taken into care; rates increased significantly in the years after. These mothers also had significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance use, physician visits for mental illness, hospitalizations for mental illness, and psychotropic medication use in the years after custody loss compared with mothers who experienced the death of a child. Rates of suicide attempts, death by suicide, avoidable mortality and unavoidable mortality were also higher among mothers whose child was taken into care.
Conclusion: Mothers whose children are taken into care often face many challenges in the years leading up to custody loss; the loss of custody often creates new challenges or exacerbates existing challenges. To address these outcomes, more preventative services should be implemented to keep families together and more supports should be in place to ensure timely family reunification. Meaningful supports need to be provided for mothers who are not reunified with their children.
