Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Destruction of human-built structures occurs in the ‘wildland–urban interface’ (WUI) – where homes or other burnable community structures meet with or are interspersed within wildland fuels. To mitigate WUI fires, basic information such as the location of interface areas is required, but such information is not available in Canada. Therefore, in this study, we produced the first national map of WUI in Canada. We also extended the WUI concept to address potentially vulnerable industrial structures and infrastructure that are not traditionally part of the WUI, resulting in two additional maps: a ‘wildland–industrial interface’ map (i.e. the interface of wildland fuels and industrial structures, denoted here as WUI-Ind) and a ‘wildland–infrastructure interface’ map (i.e. the interface of wildland fuels and infrastructure such as roads and railways, WUI-Inf). All three interface types (WUI, WUI-Ind, WUI-Inf) were defined as areas of wildland fuels within a variable-width buffer (maximum distance: 2400m) from potentially vulnerable structures or infrastructure. Canada has 32.3 million ha of WUI (3.8% of total national land area), 10.5 million ha of WUI-Ind (1.2%) and 109.8 million ha of WUI-Inf (13.0%). The maps produced here provide a baseline for future research and have a wide variety of practical applications.

No national long-term monitoring system exists to estimate temporal changes in the area of forests within Canada. Changes in wooded area, defined as land at least 35% covered by trees or shrubs with a minimum height of 2 m, were estimated for two study areas in central Saskatchewan, Canada. Sequential editions of 1 : 50 000 topographic maps were digitized and analyzed with a geographic information system to quantify changes in wooded area over approximately three decades for the Waskesiu Hills landscape (53°45' N, 106°15' W) and the Red Deer River landscape (52°45' N, 103°00' W). Both study areas were located within the Boreal Plain Ecozone, which was predominantly boreal forest prior to the past century of agricultural land clearing. In the 4570km2 Waskesiu Hills landscape, wooded area decreased by 164 km2 between 1963 and 1990. In the 4692km2 Red Deer River landscape, wooded area decreased by 371 km2 in between 1957 and 1990. Estimated mean annual rates of change in wooded area were 0.19%·year1 and 0.43%·year1 for the former and latter landscapes, respectively. Losses of wooded area were not proportional across three land-use classes. Rates of change for wooded area were small in parks (0.10%·year1 and1.02%·year1) and commercial forests (0.10%·year1 and 0.22%·year1), and larger in predominantly agricultural zones (1.27%·year1 and 1.21%·year1 for the Waskesiu Hills landscape and Red Deer River landscape, respectively). These measured declines in wooded area do not account for losses due to roads, transmission lines, buildings, and other features not represented on topographic maps in an area-proportional manner, but this error is estimated to be very small. The total length of roads increased by 95 km (0.27%·year1 between 1963 and 1990) in the Waskesiu Hills landscape and by 507 km (0.74%·year1 between 1957 and 1990) in the Red Deer River landscape. Expanding infrastructure networks were contrasted by negative rates of change for human population (0.89%·year1 between 1961 and 1991 for the Waskesiu Hills region and 1.19%·year1 between 1956 and 1991 for the Red Deer River region). Within the two study areas, wooded lands that are unprotected by legislation remain vulnerable to future deforestation. Continued clearing of extant forests could jeopardize potential carbon gains from afforestation and reforestation initiatives presently being considered for marginal agricultural lands in western Canada.

Inclusive knowledge systems that engage local perspectives and social and natural sciences are difficult to generate and infuse into decision-making processes but are critical for conservation planning. This paper explores local tacit knowledge application to identify wildlife locations, movement patterns and heightened opportunities and barriers for connectivity conservation planning in a critical linkage area known as the Chignecto Isthmus in the eastern Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Thirty-four local hunters, loggers, farmers and others with strong tacit knowledge of wildlife and the land participated in individual interviews and group workshops, both of which engaged participatory mapping. Individuals’ data were digitised, analysed and compiled into thematic series of maps, which were refined through participatory, consensus-based workshops. Locations of key populations and movement patterns for several species were delineated, predominantly for terrestrial mammals and migratory birds. When comparing local tacit-knowledge-based maps with those derived from formal-natural-science models, key differences and strong overlap were apparent. Local participants provided rich explanatory and complementary data. Their engagement in the process fostered knowledge transfer within the group and increased confidence in their experiential knowledge and its value for decision making. Benefits derived from our study for conservation planning in the region include enhanced spatial data on key locations of wildlife populations and movement pathways and local insights into wildlife changes over time. Identified contributing factors primarily relate to habitat degradation and fragmentation from human activities (i.e., land use and cover changes caused by roads and forestry practices), thereby supporting the need for conservation measures. The generated knowledge is important for consideration in local planning initiatives; it addresses gaps in existing formal-science data and validates or ground truths the outputs of existing computer-based models of wildlife habitat and movement pathways within the context of the complex social-ecological systems of the place and local people. Critically, awareness of the need for conservation and the value of the participants’ shared knowledge has been enhanced, with potential influence in fostering local engagement in wildlife conservation and other planning initiatives. Consistent with other studies, engagement of local people and their tacit knowledge was found to (i) provide important insights, knowledge translation, and dissemination to complement formal, natural science, (ii) help build a more inclusive knowledge system grounded in the people and place, and (iii) lend support to conservation action for connectivity planning and human-wildlife co-existence. More broadly, our methods demonstrate an effective approach for representing differences and consensus among participants’ spatial indications of wildlife and habitat as a means of co-producing knowledge in participatory mapping for conservation planning.

The safety of locations operating under high-speed conditions could significantly differ from that of locations operating under low-speed conditions. Therefore, different approaches must be adopted when speed and safety are analyzed and managed at locations operating under different regimes. However, it is necessary first to understand the factors affecting the speed–collision classification of a site. Locations operating under high speeds are typically expected to have more collisions compared with locations in which speeds are low. Some locations, however, might experience a high collision rate even when speeds are low, or vice versa. This study aimed to identify the factors that affected the site classification into any of those categories by using data collected on roads in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Locations were divided into four speed–collision bins (high collision, high speed; high collision, low speed; low collision, high speed; low collision, low speed), and geographic information system maps of locations were produced to explore the spatial distribution of those locations. Moreover, logistic regression was used to understand the role of different factors in identifying the speed–collision bin to which a certain location belonged. The results reveal that locations with high collision rates but low speeds have a relatively high population of heavy vehicles and trucks as well as high speed variability. As for locations with low collision rates and high speeds, these sites were found to have a high level of protection through the presence of medians and shoulders with relatively low access density.

Airborne Laser Scanning systems with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology is one of the fast and accurate 3D point data acquisition techniques. Generating accurate digital terrain and/or surface models (DTM/DSM) is the main application of collecting LiDAR range data. Recently, LiDAR range and intensity data have been used for land cover classification applications. Data range and Intensity, (strength of the backscattered signals measured by the LiDAR systems), are affected by the flying height, the ground elevation, scanning angle and the physical characteristics of the objects surface. These effects may lead to uneven distribution of point cloud or some gaps that may affect the classification process. Researchers have investigated the conversion of LiDAR range point data to raster image for terrain modelling. Interpolation techniques have been used to achieve the best representation of surfaces, and to fill the gaps between the LiDAR footprints. Interpolation methods are also investigated to generate LiDAR range and intensity image data for land cover classification applications. In this paper, different approach has been followed to classifying the LiDAR data (range and intensity) for land cover mapping. The methodology relies on the classification of the point cloud data based on their range and intensity and then converted the classified points into raster image. The gaps in the data are filled based on the classes of the nearest neighbour. Land cover maps are produced using two approaches using: (a) the conventional raster image data based on point interpolation; and (b) the proposed point data classification. A study area covering an urban district in Burnaby, British Colombia, Canada, is selected to compare the results of the two approaches. Five different land cover classes can be distinguished in that area: buildings, roads and parking areas, trees, low vegetation (grass), and bare soil. The results show that an improvement of around 10 % in the classification results can be achieved by using the proposed approach.

"Sharing Post-AML Consolidation Supportive Therapy with Local Centers Reduces Patient Travel Burden without Compromising Safety and Efficacy of Care".

Abstract AML (acute myeloid leukemia) is frequently treated with intensive induction and consolidation chemotherapy that often requires prolonged admissions to hospital. Our group and others demonstrated that consolidation chemotherapy for AML can be safely and effectively administered to selected patients on an ambulatory basis. However, this ambulatory care is centralized in quaternary centers, requiring some patients to travel long distances to these specialized centres. Recently, we developed a shared care model where patients receive their consolidation chemotherapy for AML at the specialized quaternary care center, but receive post-consolidation supportive care including blood checks, transfusions, and treatment for febrile neutropenia at their local hospitals. Here, we reviewed the impact of our new model of care with a focus on savings in travel time and distance. Between 2009-2013, 73 patients with AML (n=61,) or APL (n=12) received post-consolidation care after CR1 at 14 local centers in the province of Ontario. These centers were regional cancer centers staffed by oncologists and/or hematologists experienced in the management of cytopenias and febrile neutropenia. However, these centers did not provide induction or consolidation chemotherapy for AML. Patients were seen at least weekly as out-patients at these hospitals while recovering from their consolidation chemotherapy. These centers were located a median of 70 km (range: 36-190) from the quaternary centre (The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada). The 73 patients received 137 cycles of intensive consolidation where the post-consolidation care was provided by their local centre. The local centers treated a median of 2 patients (range of 1-19 patients) during the time frame evaluated. Patients receiving shared care had a median age of 57 years (range: 21.7-78.6) and 40 (54.8%) were male. 7 (9.6%) had favourable, 42 (57.5%) had intermediate, 6 (8.2%) had poor and 18 (24.7%) had indeterminate cytogenetic profiles. Google Maps (www.google.ca/maps) was used to calculate the distance travelled and estimated travel time between the patient's home and the quaternary centre or their local centre. Use of toll roads was permitted to achieve the fastest and shortest distance. Patients in the shared care model travelled a mean distance of 99.5 km ± 57.8 (median: 87.8 range: 28.4-266 km) each way to the quaternary care centre versus 26.3 km ± 33.6 (median: 14.5 range: 0.55-211 km) each way to their local treatment centre (p <0.001 for difference in means by t-test). The estimated mean time to travel from their home to the quaternary center was 71.6 ± 38 minutes (median: 62 range: 29-170) and the estimated time to travel to their local center was 23.3 ± 21.9 minutes (median: 18 range: 2-137) (p <0.001 for difference in means by t-test). Thus, by receiving post-consolidation care locally, patients saved a mean round trip travel distance of 146.5 km ± 99.6 and 96.7 min ± 63.4 of round trip travel time per visit compared to travelling to the quaternary care centre. To assess the safety and efficacy of the shared care model, we compared the survival of the patients who received shared care to that of the other 344 patients with AML (n=297) or APL (n=47) who received consolidation chemotherapy in CR1 during the same time frame and remained at the quaternary care centre for all of their post-consolidation care. Gender, age and cytogenetic risk did not significantly differ between the shared care group and the group of patients receiving all of their care at the quaternary center (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in overall survival between the 2 groups (p value of log-rank test >0.05). 30, 60, and 90 day survival from start of consolidation chemotherapy was 98.6%, 97.2%, and 95.9% for the patients receiving shared care and 98.8%, 97.1%, and 95.3% for patients receiving all of their care at the quaternary center. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed no significant increase in hazard of death for the Shared Care patients compared to control when controlling for age, gender, AML vs. APL and cytogenetic prognosis (p value >0.05). Thus, a collaborative care delivery model utilizing partnerships with regional centres for post-consolidation care in AML reduces patient travel burden while maintaining safety and efficacy.

This reflection on community-driven research in process is written from the perspective of graduate student co-researchers collaborating with Wabanaki community co-researchers on a pilot project involving a Wabanaki and a non-Indigenous organization. Three Nations Education Group Inc. (TNEGI) represents three Wabanaki schools and communities in Northeast Turtle Island. The Child and Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) offers a Forest and Nature School Practitioner Course (FNSPC) for educators seeking to operate forest schools. These diverse organizations have developed a pilot FNSPC training for a group of TNEGI educators, with the purpose of Indigenizing the FNSPC. This is necessary to address the Eurocentric forest and nature school practices in Canada, which often fail to recognize the herstories, presence, rights, and diversity of Indigenous Peoples and places. TNEGI educators envision a land-based pedagogy that centers Wabanaki perspectives and merges Indigenous and Western knowledges. In the FNSPC pilot, the co-researchers generated course changes as they progressed through the pilot, decolonizing the content and format as they went. Developing this Indigenized version of the FNSPC will have far-reaching implications for the CNAC Forest School ethos and teacher training delivery. This essay maps our collaborative efforts thus far in creating an ethical research space within this Indigenous/non-Indigenous research initiative and lays out intentions for the road ahead.

Abstract The Indian Ocean is the historic cross-roads of the world. On most measures—linguistic, religious, political, legal, and economic, among others—its diversity is unparalleled. While the region is home to perhaps the most strategically important state actors in an age of intense superpower rivalry, it is equally home to an astonishing range of nonstate actors whose influence and significance should not be underestimated. Many religious, indigenous, and local nonstate actors and networks have a long pedigree, sometimes dating back centuries. Layered on these legacy organizations are a vast range of contemporary nonstate, transnational regulators active in the region. These actors play an increasingly important but overlooked role in global governance and can be effectively engaged in situations where states are unable or unwilling to act. This article explores how Canada and nonstate actors based in Canada and beyond might engage plurilaterally with nonstate actors in the Indian Ocean region.RésuméL'océan Indien est le carrefour historique du monde. Sur la plupart des mesures - linguistiques, religieuses, politiques, juridiques et économiques, entre autres - sa diversité est sans précédent. Et si la région abrite peut-être les acteurs étatiques les plus importants sur le plan stratégique à une époque d'intense rivalité entre superpuissances, elle abrite également une gamme étonnante d'acteurs non étatiques dont l'influence et l'importance ne doivent pas être sous-estimées. De nombreux acteurs et réseaux non étatiques religieux, autochtones et locaux ont un long pedigree, remontant parfois à des siècles. À ces organisations profondément enracinées s'ajoutent une vaste gamme de régulateurs transnationaux non étatiques contemporains actifs dans la région. Ces acteurs jouent un rôle de plus en plus important mais négligé dans la gouvernance mondiale et peuvent être efficacement engagés dans des situations où les États ne peuvent pas ou ne veulent pas agir. Cet article explore comment le Canada et les acteurs non étatiques basés au Canada et au-delà pourraient s'engager de manière multilatérale avec des acteurs non étatiques dans la région de l'océan Indien.Keywords: nonstate actors; Indian Ocean region/Indo-Pacific; global governance; sovereignty; pluralism; transnational regulation; plurilateral diplomacyMots-clés : acteurs non étatiques; région de l'océan Indien/indo-pacifique; gouvernance globale; souveraineté; pluralisme; régulation transnationales; diplomatie plurilatérale

The majority vote by the General Assembly, which brought the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into existence as an international instrument, was just the first step. Now the long and difficult road of implementation begins. Implementation requires the application of international law in a specific national context. This article explores the potential obstacles to implement the UN Declaration in Canada and suggest avenues to overcome these obstacles. This article concludes that the main obstacle is not a legal one, but rather a lack of political will. Given the limited understandings of the UN Declaration as an international instrument and how international law applies in Canada, this article provides an overview of the significance of a Declaration in international law and also explains how international law applies in Canada. The main recommendation to promote implementation is greater education on the UN Declaration. However, there are also many actions that Indigenous peoples, lawyers and advocates can take to promote implementation in legal and political domains that are discussed at the end of the article. Le vote majoritaire de l’Assemblée générale, qui a donné naissance à la Déclaration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones comme instrument international, était la toute première étape. Commence maintenant le long et difficile parcours vers sa mise en œuvre. Cette mise en œuvre requiert l’application du droit international dans un contexte national particulier. Le présent article examine les obstacles potentiels à la mise en œuvre de la Déclaration des Nations unies au Canada et propose des avenues pour surmonter ces obstacles. Cet article conclut que le principal obstacle n’est pas de nature juridique, mais réside dans l’absence de volonté politique. Étant donné que la Déclaration des Nations unies en tant qu’instrument international et la façon dont le droit international s’applique au Canada ne sont pas bien compris, cet article offre un aperçu de la signification d’une Déclaration en droit international et explique également comment le droit international s’applique au Canada. Pour promouvoir sa mise en œuvre, on recommande principalement une éducation accrue concernant la Déclaration des Nations unies. Il existe en outre bon nombre de mesures que les peuples autochtones, les avocats et les défenseurs de droits peuvent prendre pour encourager sa mise en œuvre dans les milieux juridiques et politiques. Ces mesures sont abordées à la fin de l’article.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Aldo and his family moved back into the Big House the spring after his grandparents’ deaths. Late in the summer, when the ragweed bloomed, Clara’s hay fever hit with its annual vengeance. To comfort her, the Leopolds retreated to the northwoods resort they visited each summer. The resort of Les Cheneaux embraced the outer edges of Marquette Island in Lake Huron. The island had not been logged recently, and a mix of tall pine, cedar, maple, fir, aspen, birch, and hemlock bristled over the land like fur. No roads and few trails cut through the woods. The Leopold cottage overlooked a mile-wide bay, where the sunsets were “indescribably beautiful.” Each day, a launch delivered groceries from the villages of Hessel and Cedarville on the Michigan coast. The island enticed the young adventurer—here, he could fish, hunt, swim, sail, camp, and play Daniel Boone. While the rest of the family golfed or socialized with other wealthy guests from the lakeless midwestern prairies, Aldo explored every pine thicket, rocky rivulet, and turn of beach on the six-mile island, blazing trails and making intricate maps. Once he shot a “sachet kitten” near the clubhouse and carved this message on the boardwalk: “Aldo Leopold killed a skunk here on August 20, 1901.” (When the boardwalk was finally torn down, the resort owners saved the board.) The “boys” in the family often packed up their canvas tents for week-long camp-outs by the lake. They would try to live off what they caught and picked. Aldo became a master at frying sourdough biscuits, cooking a wild stew over a smoking campfire, and using a Dutch oven. North was Aldo’s magical horizon. Frederic wrote: “In our young minds, we imagined that we were at the jumping-off place where to the north an endless wilderness extended to Hudson Bay and the arctic.” Aldo planned to someday paddle into the untouched lands of Canada, and he begged his father for a canoe. His father thought a rowboat suited them all just fine.

Abstract Let us start with a map. Unfold like a painted fan a mercator projection, a view from high above the earth encompassing the Pacific Ocean, with Asia on the left and the Americas on the right. The arc of the Pacific Rim sweeps from the blotch of Australia to Indonesia and Southeast Asia, up the coast of China past the Korean peninsula and Japan, around Alaska and down the West Coast of Canada and the United States, tailing off to the tip of South America. Imagine the map as a parchment through which to relive the past, a chart to trace the stories of people as they move about, leaving a trail of dotted lines that follow them from place to place. The story of these people is one of movement, and like a travel-worn atlas that shows the scrawled markings of roads taken and places seen, this map will show journeys and tell stories of how people came to see things previously unseen, how they tried to understand what they saw, and how they often kept going somewhere farther in order to understand what they had just seen. Place-names coalesce on this imaginary map, given meaning within and connected to the lives of our travelers. Guangdong Province in southern China, Japan, Hawaii, Seattle, San Francisco, Stockton, Los Angeles, Butte, Tule Lake, Iowa City, Nashville, and, on the extreme edge of our map, Chicago.

Abstract The roads of North Dakota, like those of the other prairie states and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba that lie just across its northern border, run in straight lines, north to south, east to west. Even in the western part of the state, where the Missouri River, long ago the highway of discovery of the Lewis and Clark expedition, is in the early stage of its journey to the Mississippi, the roads just cross it in those never-ending straight lines. Their occasional jogs are arbitrary, made by man, who wrote all these straight lines on the map. There is nothing to impede the roads or the wind. It comes whistling out of the west, never slowing even at Chicago to the east. And, much of the time in winter, it comes out of the north, whipping the dead grasses that protrude from the frozen earth and its bleak skin of old snow and slashing whatever flesh is in its way like a stream of razor blades. The last winter before Norma Deloris Egstrom left North Dakota, the temperature went down to 63 below zero Fahrenheit; the followingJuly it rose to 120. Once, when she was a little girl, she froze both her hands.

The Pan-American Highway rises in the far north of the Americas at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and, except for a small gap in Panama, runs the entire length of the two American continents to terminate at Ushuaia in southernmost Argentina. Along its way it travels nearly 50,000 kilometres, from the polar landscape of the far north, through the boreal forests of Canada, the temperate plains and hot deserts of the USA and Mexico, and on further into the tropical zones of Central and South America, until it reaches the sub-polar landscape of Tierra del Fuego. The American landscape was not always like this. To travel along the Pan-American Highway some three million years ago, in the Pliocene Epoch, would have revealed a different world. It was a little warmer than our own. Far away, the Greenland ice sheet covered only a small part of that land mass. At the other end of the world, there was less ice covering the West Antarctic than we are familiar with today. Going south, from Prudhoe Bay along the Pan-American Highway of the Pliocene, there was none of the scrub tundra now seen by the ice road truckers. Forests then extended far to the north, covering vast areas of northern Canada and Alaska, and draping the coastal margins of Greenland. They stretched, too, into Siberia, a mass of forest extending thousands of kilometres from Norway to Kamchatka. There was almost no tundra in the north, except for a few patches in Greenland and on the far northern extremities of Siberia. Instead the polar sun rose across that well-nigh endless green Pliocene forest. Such a prehistoric journey south along the Pan-American Highway would take one across the grasslands of temperate America. These are truly ancient, having been long established even then. Patterns of seasonal temperature and rainfall, though, allowed forests to grow where none are present today. There were no humans to cut down the trees or hunt the animals that lived in the forests. There were no Great Lakes either, for no northern ice had grown yet, to scour out their floors and fill them with melt water.

Faculties of education should be at the forefront of universal design for learning (UDL) implementation since their focus systematically includes effective, student-centered, inclusive pedagogy. This is unfortunately not the case. The chapter reviews some of the tension which is often observed around the lack of accessible and inclusive practices in graduate education within faculties of education. The chapter then explores and analyzes the data collected by the author in relation to the implementation of UDL in graduate courses in a faculty of education on a Canadian campus. The last section of the chapter takes a wider perspective and examines some of the opportunities and challenges, which are encountered in the implementation of UDL in graduate education more generally, and offers hands-on solutions. It is hoped the chapter will act as a road map for wider UDL implementation within graduate and post-graduate courses and debunk some of the myths that are perpetuated in this regard.

Abstract IN THE DAYS AND weeks after Munich, Roosevelt joined the “mass of mankind” in a “universal sense of relie’f” that peace had been pre served. Overjoyed that they had been spared the “abomination” of an other total war, people everywhere showered Chamberlain with expressions of approval: letters, flowers, poems, umbrellas, and fishing rods “rained in on Downing Street”; the Dutch sent tulips; the Belgians struck a medal to the “apostle of peace”; someone requested “a piece of his umbrella to make a relic in a Greek icon”; and city councils across Britain named streets in his honor. “We in the United States,” Roosevelt wrote Mackenzie King in Canada, “rejoice with you, and the world at large, that the outbreak of war was averted.”Though Roosevelt also had hopes that Munich might bring “a new order based on justice and law,” he invested little faith in the idea. He principally saw Munich as an interlude between threats in which the democracies must rearm. Others shared his belief. Hitler was bent on world domination and would not be satisfied with his Czech gains, Assistant Secretary of State George Messersmith told FDR. Premier Edouard Daladier, Bullitt reported from Paris, anticipated new German demands within six months and intended now, above all, to build French military strength, especially in the air. “Daladier ... realizes fully that the meeting in Munich was an immense diplomatic defeat for France and England and recognizes that unless France can recover a united national spirit ...a fatal situation will arise within the next year.” “Do not suppose that this is the end,” Winston Churchill warned in England. “This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless, by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigor, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.”

Abstract MY first expedition was into the mountain forests up the valley of the Chu and in the valley of its tributary the Keben. It was a glorious September day when we drove out of the town and headed for the east. The horses were fresh and made a good pace at a brisk trot along the level road, and the light cart bowled along easily. I felt relieved in my mind, and looked around with interest at a country that was new to me. On my left was the Chu with its water meadows and thickets; on the right the mountains stood out sharply and clearly in the clean morning air, their snowy crest glistening like molten silver, cut by the dark and mysterious clefts of the numerous gorges. After driving through several Russian villages with their inevitable quagmires of mud we came to a slight elevation covered with the extensive ruins of an ancient town, Balasugun. In the dry, clayey, barren soil I could clearly pick out the traces of streets and places where houses had once stood, the irrigation canals and larger buildings. The remains of the city walls were quite distinguishable, and of the towers, fortresses and palaces. In the Middle Ages this was a populous and prosperous city, a mass of gardens and handsome buildings, conducting a busy trade with Western Europe on the west and distant China on the east. Its warehouses were crammed with costly merchandise, embroideries of the east and other rich treasures.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Linear disturbances from the construction of pipelines, roads and seismic lines for oil and gas extraction and mining have caused landscape changes in Western Canada; however these linear features are not well recorded. Inventory maps of pipelines, seismic lines and temporary access routes created by resource exploration are essential to understanding the processes causing ecological changes in order to coordinate resource development, emergency response and wildlife management. Mapping these linear disturbances traditionally relies on manual digitizing from very high resolution remote sensing data, which usually limits results to small operational area. Extending mapping to large areas is challenging due to complexity of image processing and high logistical costs. With increased availability of low cost satellite data, more frequent and regular observations are available and offer potential solutions for extracting information on linear disturbances. This paper proposes a novel approach to incorporate spectral, geometric and temporal information for detecting linear features based on time series data analysis of regularly acquired, and low cost satellite data. This approach involves two steps: multi-scale directional line detection and line updating based on time series analysis. This automatic method can effectively extract very narrow linear features, including seismic lines, roads and pipelines. The proposed method has been tested over three sites in Alberta, Canada by detecting linear disturbances occurring over the period of 1984–2013 using Landsat imagery. It is expected that extracted linear features would be used to facilitate preparation of baseline maps and up-to-date information needed for environmental assessment, especially in extended remote areas.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has proved to be a technically and commercially successful methodology for recovering heavy-oil in Canada. At present, there are 22 commercial SAGD projects with over 300 pads and 2,700 well pairs, contributing to nearly 1.4 million bbl/day of production. The steam growth in the steam chamber could recover up to 60% of the oil-in-place by a typical SAGD project. However, some SAGD projects are only able to present less than 20% of the recovery factor, even though they have been producing for almost decades. Currently, the steam-to-oil ratio (SOR) for most SAGD projects ranges between 2 and 4 bbl steam/bbl oil. Nevertheless, some projects are still experiencing SOR of over 4 bbl/bbl due to the aggressive steam injection. Despite the efficacious evidence and enormous contribution to oil production, many questions regarding the current SAGD project performance are still rising. The process and execution are very complex and entail great operational excellence. The thermodynamic processes (heat transfer, wettability alteration), reservoir geology (thickness, vertical conformance, steam channelling), well designs (optimal placement of the pairs, well completions), and environmental concerns (GHG emission) are also limiting factors to be detrimental to SAGD performance. Some other techniques to recuperate heavy-oil and bitumen (e.g., co-injection)—in addition to the principal SAGD—have been insinuated and employed in the projects. The efforts only presented a 5–10% of success rate. This paper focuses on extensive evaluation and analysis of the ongoing SAGD projects over the last three decades in Canada and what would be the forthcoming potential of mature SAGD. Lessons learned and limitations from historical and current SAGD applications based on the evaluation of 22 commercial SAGD projects are presented. Success and failure stories were evaluated from geological, technical, environmental, and operational points of view. The reasons behind the successful applications of existing SAGD practices were listed. In the end, suggestions were made as to the proper design of new SAGD projects and future practices in the matured fields. Some new insights for the future of mature SAGD, including "zero emission" applications using solvents and reduced emission using steam additives, are also discussed. The conclusive analyses done and the recommendations made will lead to more efficient SAGD applications (new and matured) in Canada, also providing a useful road map for the other parts of the world.

The authors of the paper represent two firms that have completed hundreds of challenging subgrade and foundation projects for the rail industry. The intent of this paper is to educate the railroad business in general about alternative approaches to common geotechnical problems facing the railroad industry. Projects have been completed across the country in nearly all geological conditions, on all of the Class I carriers, Shortlines and Mass Transit systems. Successful remediation projects associated with challenging subsurface conditions across the United States, Canada and Mexico are covered. Case histories include jet grouting for low headroom earth retention and tunnel support, stone columns for embankment support, micropiles for low headroom bridge replacement, micropiles and soil nails for earth retention, compaction, and urethane grouting for settlement of existing structures. Projects discussed include background information such as project layout, drawings and test results. Each project is completed and has a positive track record, indicating success. Projects have been specially selected to demonstrate the ability of specialty foundation solutions applicable throughout North America. Each topic provides technically sound approaches to age-old Rail road subsurface challenges. Many of these topics are not addressed in the AREMA manual; however, one of the authors, is currently addressing these topics through a proposed section of AREMA chapter 8.

"Results of an Off-Road Diesel Engine Driven With Different Animal Fat Based Biofuels". In ASME 2009 Internal Combustion Engine Division Fall Technical Conference.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The demand for increased use of biofuels in both on- and off-road diesel engines is growing. The carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced, but the increase in the petroleum prices and possible shortage of crude oil also promote the interest in biofuels. Simultaneously, exhaust pollutants of diesel engines have to be drastically reduced. The nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) form the main challenge for diesel exhaust cleaning. Despite the emissions reduction, the fuel economy of the engines should be kept at a sufficient level to also prevent the CO2 increase. In the present study, a turbocharged, inter-cooled direct-injection off-road diesel engine was driven with two animal fat based bio-fuels, namely steelhead (or rainbow trout) methyl ester (StME) and crude steelhead oil (StO). Crude or neat biofuels are also of interest since medium-speed engines are able to burn unrefined bio-oils. A vegetable oil based fuel, canola oil methyl ester (RME) served as the main reference biofuel. The baseline results were measured with commercial low-sulfur diesel fuel oil (DFO). The main aim of the project was to clarify how the waste-derived animal fat based biofuels are suited to engine use. The performance and emissions characteristics of the engine were determined. In addition to regulated emissions, the particle size distributions were also examined. The results showed that the studied animal fat derived ester was very suitable for the off-road test engine. NOx increased but hydrocarbons (HC), smoke, and PM mass decreased (by up to 60%) while thermal efficiency and carbon monoxide (CO) remained approximately unchanged. The particle number emissions were competitive relative to DFO. Raw fish oil StO reduced HC emissions but increased NOx and particle mass and number emissions. CO and smoke behaved ambiguously, so further investigation is needed for this fuel.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This research examines the dual challenge of addressing climatic and cultural considerations in architecture, specifically using prefabricated mass timber housing in the remote Inuit village of Ivujivik. Situated just below the Arctic Circle, this northernmost settlement in a Canadian province presents unique challenges of isolation at the edge of Nunavik in Nord-du-Québec. An island, not in a geographic sense, but through its remoteness as neither road nor rail link this community to North America’s industrial centers, necessitates strategic architectural planning. With a harbor navigable for only 20 days annually, prefabricated design solutions are necessitatedfor nearly all its building stock, where timing is essential to providing much-needed housing solutions to this distant part of the planet. A liminal condition and cultural heritage that has been disrupted by climate change.The study is based on projects from a third-year undergraduate architectural design studio conducted in spring 2021. This period of virtual learning due to Covid-19 led to an exploration of Ivujivik’s local ecology, resources, and climate, aligning architectural designs with the village’s cultural, infrastructural, and environmental needs. The remote learning context paralleled the village’s remoteness, making prefabrication and mass timber appealing solutions for addressing the housing crisis sustainably and culturally sensitively. Despite the lack of physical site visits and direct communication with local leaders, extensive secondary research provided comprehensiveinsights, including academic and multimedia sources and consultations with design experts.The paper advocates for a holistic architectural approach that harmonizes building science with indigenous cultural knowledge and local perspectives, demonstrating the broader implications and potential of sustainable architecture in remote indigenous settings.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
O termo “inserção” refere-se aos primeiros dias da criança na creche, quando a maior parte das unidades de Educação Infantil planejam atividades específicas voltadas para o acolhimento não só das crianças, mas também de seus familiares (pais, avós). Sentimentos como insegurança, culpa e ansiedade, permeiam essa fase, em que a criança ficará boa parte do tempo afastada do convívio familiar. Estabelecer uma parceria logo neste primeiro momento, torna a relação mais segura, num clima de confiança e co-responsabilidade. Incluir os familiares, promove a conquista de sentimentos como afeição e carinho nesta nova fase da vida de todos. Diante de um leque de possibilidades que se constrói nesse momento de chegada, o Assistente Social desenvolverá um trabalho coletivo, tendo como norte uma proposta interdisciplinar, participativa e democrática, interagindo, construindo projetos de intervenção e propostas, criando um canal de comunicação e mediação com as famílias e com os profissionais que atuam naquele espaço. Com a participação dos familiares e da equipe, é possível construir relações de confiança, conhecimento e apoio mútuo, desenvolvendo atividades, enfatizando a necessidade de todos na construção de uma dinâmica, cuja perspectiva interdisciplinar contribua para fortalecer as relações criança-crechefamília ao longo do período de inserção, que acontecem através das “rodas de conversa”. Temas como gestão participativa e o direito à fala, contribuirão para que o Assistente Social amplie o conceito de cidadania, sendo voz para todos os atores envolvidos no processo. Outrossim, com essa metodologia, o profissional pode abordar outras temáticas relacionadas às questões de gênero, ao mito da maternidade, dentre inúmeras situações presentes no cotidiano familiar e social. Buscando refletir sobre a perspectiva sócio interacionista de Educação Infantil, ele pode atuar e desenvolver, momentos de reflexão e crescimento, aprofundando as relações, propiciando a interlocução entre as famílias e a instituição. Assim poderão expressar seus medos, desejos, anseios, dúvidas e incertezas em relação ao momento de inserção. Através do envolvimento com as famílias, sob o olhar do Assistente Social no processo de chegada, envolvendo todos os sujeitos - criança, família, equipe pedagógica, o resultado do trabalho fará parte do Calendário Escolar da Instituição, com encontros mensais e não somente no momento de chegada. Todos nós – educadores que somos – devemos imprimir a nossa marca. Os desafios e conquistas devem ser encarados por todos como etapas conquistadas a cada dia. É importante que a Instituição esteja aberta para a família, pois é através de uma aproximação com ela e estabelecendo parcerias, que são criados laços fortes que representam uma conquista para o Assistente Social. Através de diálogos e trocas com a inserção das famílias nesse primeiro momento e entendendo a criança enquanto sujeito histórico-social, esse lugar de aprendizado, de encontros e desencontros, emoções e frustrações, pode representar, acima de tudo, um lugar de muitas possibilidades, onde mais do que abrir a porta da Creche, abra-lhes também, o coração.

A Study of Chinese Traditional Wetland Island Settlement Combining Morphological and Narrative Analyses Dongxue Lei¹, Andong Lu² School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing UniversityHankou Road 22#, Gulou District, Nanjing, ChinaE-mail: dxlei@outlook.com, andonglu@gmail.com Keywords (3-5): wetland island settlement, morphology, townscape, cognitive map Conference topics and scale: Tools of analysis in urban morphology The Lixiahe region, a low-lying wetland located to the eastern side of the Huaiyang section of the Grand Canal, is characterized by a complex hydrological environment and has changed slowly in the urbanization process. The historical town of Shagou, a representative case of island settlements in this region, has a recorded history of continuous morphological change over six hundred years. Regarding Shagou as a cultural-geographical entity, this article aims at combining morphological analysis and narrative-based cognitive mapping to revel the characteristic townscape that strongly depends on cultural-geographic complexity. Based on survey work, this article will first define distinguishable plan elements that underpins the spatial form of Shagou: 1) natural context; 2) streets system; 3) plots system, and then investigate diachronically different phases of the formation of its spatial structure. On the other hand, based on archiving and data analysis of the oral history study, this article will generate a narrative cognitive map, in terms of paths, nodes, landmarks and areas. In conjunction with fieldwork and documentary record, this study testifies that the method derived from the plan analysis developed by Conzon is applicable to the study of wetland island settlement form in China and that narrative spatial analysis provides important supplemental spatial information. A careful combination of these methods might be used for understanding culturally embedded settlement forms in China. References (100 words) Conzen, M. R. G.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Application of 3D technologies to the wide range of Geosciences knowledge domains is well underway. These have been operationalized in workflows of the hydrocarbon sector for a half-century, and now in mining for over two decades. In Geosciences, algorithms, structured workflows and data integration strategies can support compelling Earth models, however challenges remain to meet the standards of geological plausibility required for most geoscientific studies. There is also missing links in the institutional information infrastructure supporting operational multi-scale 3D data and model development. Canada in 3D (C3D) is a vision and road map for transforming the Geological Survey of Canada's (GSC) work practice by leveraging emerging 3D technologies. Primarily the transformation from 2D geological mapping, to a well-structured 3D modelling practice that is both data-driven and knowledge-driven. It is tempting to imagine that advanced 3D computational methods, coupled with Artificial Intelligence and Big Data tools will automate the bulk of this process. To effectively apply these methods there is a need, however, for data to be in a well-organized, classified, georeferenced (3D) format embedded with key information, such as spatial-temporal relations, and earth process knowledge. Another key challenge for C3D is the relative infancy of 3D geoscience technologies for geological inference and 3D modelling using sparse and heterogeneous regional geoscience information, while preserving the insights and expertise of geoscientists maintaining scientific integrity of digital products. In most geological surveys, there remains considerable educational and operational challenges to achieve this balance of digital automation and expert knowledge. Emerging from the last two decades of research are more efficient workflows, transitioning from cumbersome, explicit (manual) to reproducible implicit semi-automated methods. They are characterized by integrated and iterative, forward and reverse geophysical modelling, coupled with stratigraphic and structural approaches. The full impact of research and development with these 3D tools, geophysical-geological integration and simulation approaches is perhaps unpredictable, but the expectation is that they will produce predictive, instructive models of Canada's geology that will be used to educate, prioritize and influence sustainable policy for stewarding our natural resources. On the horizon are 3D geological modelling methods spanning the gulf between local and frontier or green-fields, as well as deep crustal characterization. These are key components of mineral systems understanding, integrated and coupled hydrological modelling and energy transition applications, e.g. carbon sequestration, in-situ hydrogen mining, and geothermal exploration. Presented are some case study examples at a range of scales from our efforts in C3D.

To effectively apply these methods there is a need, however, for data to be in a well-organized, classified, georeferenced (3D) format embedded with key information, such as spatial-temporal relations, and earth process knowledge. Another key challenge for C3D is the relative infancy of 3D geoscience technologies for geological inference and 3D modelling using sparse and heterogeneous regional geoscience information, while preserving the insights and expertise of geoscientists maintaining scientific integrity of digital products. In most geological surveys, there remains considerable educational and operational challenges to achieve this balance of digital automation and expert knowledge. Emerging from the last two decades of research are more efficient workflows, transitioning from cumbersome, explicit (manual) to reproducible implicit semi-automated methods. They are characterized by integrated and iterative, forward and reverse geophysical modelling, coupled with stratigraphic and structural approaches. The full impact of research and development with these 3D tools, geophysical-geological integration and simulation approaches is perhaps unpredictable, but the expectation is that they will produce predictive, instructive models of Canada's geology that will be used to educate, prioritize and influence sustainable policy for stewarding our natural resources. On the horizon are 3D geological modelling methods spanning the gulf between local and frontier or green-fields, as well as deep crustal characterization. These are key components of mineral systems understanding, integrated and coupled hydrological modelling and energy transition applications, e.g. carbon sequestration, in-situ hydrogen mining, and geothermal exploration. Presented are some case study examples at a range of scales from our efforts in C3D.
