Abstract:
Looking at political demonstrations that occurred throughout 2008 and 2009 in Toronto, this article explores popular understandings of diasporic identities within a Canadian multiculturalism framework. It also examines second-generation Sri Lankan Tamils’ (SLT) (re)negotiations of these representations in forming and informing their identities. Drawing on Kathleen Hall’s (2002) framework, identities are understood as constituted through processes of power, discourse, and representation. Through a critical discourse analysis of newspaper editorials and narrative explorations of second-generation Canadian Tamils, this article investigates how diasporic identities are incorporated into the wider Canadian polity. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with second-generation Tamil Canadians (ages nineteen to twenty-nine). I argue that popular constructions of diasporic identities and Canadian national identity as understood within a multiculturalism framework are not entirely in concurrence with Tamil diasporic minorities’ own identity narratives. The resultant “othering” causes feelings of marginalization and undermines notions of social citizenship. Concurrently, resistive practices by the second generation embodied by the political démonstrations of 2008-2009 contest “Canadian” identity as promoted in hegemonic representations by dominant elements of society, including the state. Divergences that emerge between the resistive discourses of second-generation Tamils and “mainstream” integrationist discourses demonstrate the need for a more sophisticated conceptualization of how Canadian multiculturalism and citizenship might incorporate the transnational political and cultural practices of its citizens.

Abstract:
Background South Asian community members in Canada experience a higher burden of chronic disease than the general population. Digital health innovations provide a significant opportunity to address various health care challenges such as supporting patients in their disease self-management. However, South Asian community members are less likely to use digital tools for their health and face significant barriers in accessing them because of language or cultural factors. Objective The aim of this study is to understand the barriers to and facilitators of digital health tool uptake experienced by South Asian community members residing in Canada. Methods This study used a qualitative community-based participatory action research approach. Residents from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, who spoke 1 of 4 South Asian languages (Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, or Tamil) were invited to participate in focus group discussions. A subsample of the participants were invited to use photovoice methods in greater depth to explore the research topics. Results A total of 197 participants consented to the focus group discussions, with 12 (6.1%) participating in the photovoice phase. The findings revealed several key obstacles (older age, lack of education, and poor digital health literacy) and facilitators (social support from family or community members and positive attitudes toward technology) to using digital health tools. Conclusions The results support the value of using a community-based participatory action research approach and photovoice methods to engage the South Asian community in Canada to better understand digital health competencies and needs. There were several important implications for policy makers and future research, such as continued engagement of community leaders by health care providers and administrators to learn about attitudes and preferences.

Abstract:
Abstract. Beginning in mid-2008, the Tamil diaspora around the world organized in extraordinary activism against the escalating violence in northern Sri Lanka. Responses to the 2009 Tamil diaspora protests in Canada provide a unique case study to examine a contemporary moment of resistance, when race thinking and spatiality intersected within and beyond national borders. Using critical theories of representation, I conceptualize Canadian print media coverage of the protests as representations of a “strange encounter” with the other. I explore the media’s production of the other and its conflation of the Tamil protester-terrorist through constructions of space. I also examine how scale operates through underlying national values to conceptualize a precarious structure of belonging. Through these discursive moves, I demonstrate how the resulting figure of the “other,” the “outlaw,” and the “outsider” came to represent and delegitimize the racialized/ spatialized Tamil protest(er).

Abstract:
I examine the concept of "culture" being promoted in the Canadian policy of multiculturalism and by Tamil refugees safeguarding their culture in Quebec. I take culture in its relation to power as my focus. I explore what culture means to the Tamils, and how the Canadian ideology of multiculturalism is implicated in the way Tamil "culture keepers" (re)construct their cultural identity.
This research addresses popular "multiculturalism" movements which use anthropological notions of culture but fail to problematize the notion of culture itself. I illustrate how and why the concept of culture is itself culturally embedded and historically shaped, and thus dense with political implications.
It also addresses anthropological approaches which avoid realist ethnography because of its political implications. I argue that a focus on culture in its relation to power is necessary in order to examine anthropology's own continuing involvement in imperialism.

Abstract:
National security discourses have a significant impact on migrant, refugee and immigrant communities. This thesis will address the impact that national security legislations have on vulnerable ethnic communities using the Tamil community in Canada as a case study. In highlighting concerns about rashly buying into the dominant discourses of terrorism and security, critical insights into how laws and policies impact community groups and society as a whole will be raised by exploring the discourses of fear and victimization. In particular, two important questions will be addressed. Firstly, how does the dominant discourse on fear of terrorism in national security legislation impact on the victimization of community groups, such as Tamil-Canadians? And secondly, what methods should be employed by communities so that the cycle of fear and victimization can be broken to enable the community to act with agency and resist these dominant discourses?
Les discours présenter par la Sécurité nationale ont un impact signifiant sur les itinérants, les communautés de réfugié, et immigrés. Cet exposé adressera l'impact que les législations de la sécurité nationales ont sur la vulnérabilité dans les communautés ethniques, utilisant la communauté Tamoule au Canada comme une étude de cas. En soulignant les inquiétudes concernant imprudemment accepter les discours dominants de terrorisme et de sécurité, un aperçu critiques dans comment les lois et les politiques influent les groupes de communauté et la société comme un ensemble sera élevé en explorant les discours de crainte et de persécution. En particulier, deux questions importantes seront adressées. Premièrement, comment le discours dominant sur la crainte de terrorisme dans la législation de sécurité nationale influe-t-il sur la persécution de groupes de communauté, comme Tamoul-Canadiens? Et deuxièmement, quelles méthodes devraient-ils être employés par les communautés pour que le cycle de crainte et de persécution puisse être cassé pour permettre à la communauté d'agir avec l'agence et s'opposer à ces discours dominants?

Abstract:
L’effet blouse blanche (EBB) est un phénomène connu depuis de nombreuses années. Son diagnostic est rendu difficile par les mesures multiples de pression artérielle à réaliser (en consultation et en ambulatoire). De plus, son influence cardio-vasculaire est mal connue. Dans ce contexte, nous avons développé un concept d’effet blouse blanche résiduel (EBBR), permettant de diminuer le nombre de mesures de pression artérielle à réaliser (en consultation seulement). Il est bien corrélé à l’EBB et moins à l’hypertension blouse blanche. Son impact cardio-vasculaire est important notamment chez la femme, faisant de l’EBBR, un facteur de risque cardio-vasculaire à part entière. Les recommandations doivent mieux appréhender l’EBB afin d’améliorer sa prise en charge en soins courants
The white coat effect (WCE) has been known for many years. Its diagnosis is made difficult by the multiple blood pressure measurements to be carried out (in clinic and outpatient). In addition, its cardiovascular influence is poorly understood. In this context, we have developed a concept of office white coat effect tail (OWCET), making it possible to reduce the number of blood pressure measurements to be carried out (in clinic only). It is well correlated with the WCE and less with white coat hypertension. Its cardiovascular impact is significant, especially in women, making EBBR a full-blown cardiovascular risk factor. The recommendations should better understand the WCE to improve its management in clinical practice

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the culture of hatred. The Canadian sociologist Matthew Lange has found that ethnic supremacist education is a fundamental source of division in some of the most ethnically divided countries in the world. Supremacist schools are a direct cause of the hostility between Jews and Palestinians in Israel, between Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka, between Greeks and Turks in Cyprus, between French Quebecois and English Canadians in Quebec, and between hostile ethnic groups in many other nations. The places Lange writes about are dissimilar, but the causes of xenophobic education generally are the same. These lead to enduring ethnic hostility that could last for generations. The chapter then focuses on ethnic supremacist education in Sri Lanka.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In the past several decades, traditional decline curve analyses have been widely used as a quick and simple yet efficient method for reserve estimation and production forecasting. Several new models have been proposed since 2000s to address limitations of traditional decline models in shale and tight reservoirs especially multiple flow regimes and long-tail behavior of production profile which results in overestimating the reserve by the traditional models. Several of these newly proposed decline curve analysis (DCA) models are conservative and provide pessimistic reserve estimates. The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the application of six heavy-tailed probability density functions (PDFs) to approximate production in shale and tight reservoirs. A new class of DCA model suitable to capture the production decline trend in shale and tight reservoirs is examined using real and simulated production data. The proposed class of DCA has been demonstrated to predict production more accurately in tight and shale reservoirs especially when only limited data are available from wells with less than a few months of production history.

Abstract:
Optimizing the flight trajectory is a goal that will minimize fuel consumption and time related costs. Lateral Navigation (LNAV) has been investigated as part of identifying optimal trajectories. Winds and temperature have an important influence in the cost of a flight. Tail winds and low temperatures are desired, as both reduce flight costs. Implementing algorithms to locate where these favorable conditions exist close to the defined trajectory of a given flight will help to achieve optimal flight trajectories. These algorithms are to be implemented in an FMS using an aircraft model which is normally given in the form of a Performance Database (PDB). The approach given in this paper uses Dijsktra’s algorithm. This method is part of the graph-search techniques. The search area is defined by discretizing the cruise trajectory and defining adjacent waypoints, forming a grid where the possible trajectories are created. The algorithm requires the aircraft’s gross weight at the top of climb (TOC), the location of the top of descent (TOD), and the desired cruise speed and altitude. The related costs are calculated using the PDB’s model for two different commercial aircraft at a constant altitude and at a constant indicated mach. To minimize the costs, the algorithm considers the fuel burned, the flight time and the cost index (CI). The temperature and winds in the trajectory are obtained from the Canadian weather forecast (Environment Canada). Wind influence is taken into account by adding it to the ground speed, based on its direction regarding the aircraft’s trajectory heading. The effect of temperature is considered in the PDB. Generated trajectories are compared against the geodesic (or great circle) route.
