Streszczenie:
A two-year field study was carried out in eastern Ontario to investigate the effects of water table management (WTM) on water quality and crop yields. Corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max Merr.) were planted in alternate strips across the three treatments of 50 cm controlled water table (CWT), 75 cm CWT and free drainage (FD). Drainflow volume and nitrate-N concentration of the drainage water were measured. Soil samples were collected and analysed for total N, P, K, available N, soil moisture and organic matter levels. Chlorophyll-meter readings and plant harvest parameters were also measured. Rainfall, soil and air temperatures were recorded throughout the growing seasons.
The obtained data show that in 1995, the CWT plots significantly increased total drainflow, as compared to FD. In 1996, overall drainflow and nitrate concentrations were significantly reduced. Both the corn and soybean yields were higher with WTM than with FD for both years. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Data were collected on 24 traits to characterize and classify 35 white floury corn (Zea mays L.) landraces collected on native reserves in Ontario. Several landrace x landrace and landrace x inbred crosses were evaluated. Test crosses were made to determine whether the landraces carry the floury-l (fl$ sb1$) allele. Most traits examined exhibited considerable variation among the landraces. Variation was also observed within many of the landraces for ear and cob colour, for endosperm texture and row number. The landraces were grouped into 10 clusters by centroid clustering analysis. Significant heterosis over the mid-parent value was observed in the crosses among landraces. Some crosses between landraces and inbreds yielded more than either parent. Crossing the landraces with the inbreds improved some agronomic characteristics, but disrupted some of the ear characteristics of the landraces. The floury factor responsible for the characteristic endosperm texture of the IAPO landraces was identified as being the dosage dependent fl$ sb1$.

Streszczenie:
This study concerns Paleo-Indian behaviour and culture history in the central Great Lakes region. More than 15 sites and numerous loci associated with Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene societies in southwestern Ontario are reported. These are organized into archaeological complexes and their interpretation is synthesized into a broader understanding of early occupations in the Northeast.
Complexes are defined by projectile point typology and substantiated by other technological traits and patterns of lithic raw material utilization. Early (fluted point associated) Paleo-Indian complexes are, in suggested chronological order, Gainey, Parkhill, and Crowfield. Late Paleo-Indian complexes are Holcombe and Madina. All date between 11 000 and 10 000 B.P. according to geological considerations, pollen dating, and comparisons to dated materials elsewhere.
Seasonal rounds of resource exploitation within broad territorial ranges are suggested for Gainey and Parkhill populations. Commodity exchange involving particular implement categories provides evidence of band interaction. Mortuary practices and religious beliefs are suggested by possible cremation burials at the Crowfield site. Other significant behavioural patterns are revealed through inter- and intra-site analyses.

Streszczenie:
This study investigates the land-use patterns of the Iroquoian populations that occupied south-central Ontario during the Late Woodland period. Its initial objective is to understand their cultural ecology as reflected in the placement of their semi-permanent settlements over time. Its ultimate goal is to ascertain how environmental change and ecological adaptation contributed to culture change and particularly to the historical development of these populations and their long-term settlement shift from the north shore of Lake Ontario to Huronia and Petunia.
The theoretical guide for this study is the premise that an understanding of culture change can only be achieved by considering evolutionary sequences in all their particularistic complexity, taking into account both generalizations about human behaviour and contingent influences. The methodological guide is the concept of multidimensional constraint, the idea that human behaviour is the rational negotiation of objectives that are constrained by both internal and external parameters operating in a nested series of contexts. These principles are used to develop a methodology utilizing detailed environmental description, summary statistics, and careful evaluation and interpretation to investigate correlations between settlement locations and environmental features at the local, regional, and pan-regional scales. The overall objective is a well-grounded explanatory narrative outlining the multiple dimensions of constraint that influenced Late Woodland settlement in south-central Ontario.
The ensuing investigations yield numerous insights into Iroquoian cultural ecology and illustrate the complexity of the long-term settlement shift. In broad outline, it involves an initial phase of settlement, indicating continuity with the Middle Woodland period, an expansion phase, involving the occupation of analogous physiographic zones throughout south-central Ontario, and a final contraction phase, involving coalescence into the uplands of northern Simcoe County. At the local and regional scales, these phases involve slightly different adaptive strategies over time and space, influenced by constraints that included community population size, intensifying food production, temporal and spatial climatic variation, foraging logistics, changing distributions of natural resources, and geo-politics. These results demonstrate the adaptive capacity of these Iroquoian populations, confirm the efficacy of the methodological approach, and establish an ecological context for future investigations dealing with the social aspects of Late Woodland culture change in South-central Ontario.

In 1995 the Government of Ontario introduced reforms that significantly changed the way welfare was delivered in the province. Welfare rates were cut and benefits became conditional on recipients participating in a workfare programme called Ontario Works. These reforms ignore women's responsibility for child care. Single mothers and their children will be the group most affected by these changes. Single mothers are interviewed about how these changes have affected them, with particular attention to their experiences with the Ontario Works programme and its impact on their ability to care for their children.

Pełny tekst źródła
Streszczenie:
The Canadian agricultural sector was recognised as a potential seller of carbon offset credits in the domestic emission trading system. A number of beneficial management practices may reduce GHG emissions while increasing production efficiency and profitability of agricultural activities. A contingent valuation survey was used to estimate the carbon offset price at which feedlot operators in Ontario would adopt two management practices that reduce GHG emissions: adding roasted soybean seeds to a cattle diet and increasing the intensity of feedlot operations. The value elicitation questions to estimate the mean WTA compensation were designed using a multiple bounded discrete choice format developed by Welsh and Poe (1998).
It was estimated that at a carbon offset price of $ 25.14/t CO2 e provided enough incentive for feedlot operators to intensify their operations and a price of $ 109.51/t CO2e to change their feeding strategies. The mean willingness to accept a cost to change a conventional practice to a greenhouse gas emissions reducing practice was estimated to be 62% of the carbon revenue. The regression analysis demonstrated that producers' willingness to accept compensation was influenced by the individual's characteristics, farm structure variables, and practice attributes. Policy makers may use these results in the design of greenhouse gas reduction strategies for the beef sector.

Notre recherche porte sur l'apprentissage des compétences professionnelles par de jeunes enseignants ontariens en insertion professionnelle. Elle vise à améliorer l'encadrement de la formation professionnelle des enseignants novices. Nous voulons répondre à la question suivante: comment l'accompagnement dans le cadre du mentorat conduit les jeunes enseignants à développer les savoir-faire professionnels? L'étude s'est déroulée dans le cadre du programme d'insertion professionnelle des nouveaux enseignants (PIPNE) en Ontario. Nous avons mené des entretiens auprès d'une vingtaine d'enseignantes et enseignants débutants et de seize mentors, qui exercent dans huit écoles secondaires de langue française de l'Ontario du Nord, de l'Est, du Centre-Sud et du sud-ouest de la province. Notre schéma pour les entretiens visait à connaître les thèmes de conversation entre mentors et mentorés. En fait, nous cherchions à savoir quels étaient les problèmes soulevés par les mentorés et les réponses données par les mentors. Les données d'entretiens révèlent que lorsque l'accompagnement dans le cadre du mentorat n'est pas systématiquement planifié, c'est-à-dire que des thèmes de perfectionnement professionnel spécifique ne sont pas suggérés par la direction de l'école et/ou le mentor, alors ce sont surtout des discussions sur le fonctionnement de la communauté professionnelle de l'école qui sont objet de discussion. Ces discussions socialisent l'enseignement débutant à la culture professionnelle de l'enseignant et participent à la construction de son identité professionnelle. En revanche, lorsque les discussions portent sur le perfectionnement des interventions pédagogiques, alors le mentoré construit les connaissances qui lui permettent d'apprendre à développer l'expertise professionnelle en enseignement. Aussi, nous nous sommes rendu compte de la valeur de l'implication des directions d'écoles dans le mentorat. Par ailleurs, nos données montrent que les mentors qui ont reçu une formation sont plus aptes à assumer leur rôle.

Streszczenie:
The Canadian supply managed dairy sector is likely to face more competitive pressure from challenges through the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the changing global trade environment. Therefore, it is highly prudent for Canadian dairy producers to focus their concern on their level of competitiveness and how to improve it. This study investigated the competitiveness of Ontario dairy sector based on a sample of farm level data with a Box-Cox transformed econometric cost model. The data were gathered by the Ontario Dairy Farm Accounting Project, for the years 2005, 2006, and 2007. The impacts of output, yield per cow and several farm-specific characteristics on the average cost of milk production were examined. Results support the presence of significant size economies and yield economies within Ontario milk production. Minimum costs were achieved for farms with approximately 125 cows. The results also indicated that some farm-specific characteristics, breed and region, also had significant impacts on the cost of Ontario milk production. However, it appears that Ontario farms may find it difficult to survive if they are forced to face international competition. Even at their minimum, average costs were above an indicator international dairy price.

This study examined the use of language in the development and implementation of mental health policy. It focused on the current discourse of mental health reform in Ontario as it related to individuals with a mental illness and who are in conflict with the law. Using a qualitative design, informed by critical inquiry and a postmodern perspective, the researcher explored administrative perceptions of the accomplishments and challenges faced at different levels of the mental health and criminal justices systems in Ontario. The participants' understandings of the provincial mental health reform policy, Making it Happen, and the extent they felt that their organizations and related policies were able to create positive change in the lives of service users were also examined. While the language of mental health policy encompasses an empowerment, community integration approach to providing services, findings indicated that a biomedical-model, public safety discourse appear to inform both policy and practice. A number of questions and apparent inconsistencies in the manner in which the mental health and criminal justice systems deal with the needs of this population were also identified. This thesis concludes with recommendations for future research.

Note:
AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) have a central role in providing HIV/AIDS related services to rural communities in Ontario, Canada. To date, very little information has been published on the experience of people employed by ASOs who work in rural Canadian communities. In an effort to learn more about this important topic, this research explored the challenges, risks and benefits people in the field associate to their work. Using A. Giorgi (1985) and B. Giorgi (2006) phenomenological method a purposive sample of three participants were interviewed on two separate occasions. From 179 significant statements, 23 themes emerged to be part of three categories that included: Rural Communities, AIDS Service Organizations, and Workers' Experiences. Through the unfolding of the participants' experiences it became apparent that HIV / AIDS remains a complex phenomenon that is influenced by the structural aspects of Society.
Les organismes offrant des services dans le domaine du VIH/SIDA jouent un rôle central dans l'offre de services en matière de VIH/SIDA auprès des communautés rurales de l'Ontario, au Canada. Jusqu'à présent, très peu d'infonnation a été publiée sur l'expérience vécue par les gens employés par ces organismes dans les communautés rurales canadiennes. Afin d'en apprendre davantage sur ce sujet d'un grand intérêt, la présente recherche a pour but d'explorer les défis, les risques et les bénéfices que ces gens perçoivent dans leur travail. En se basant sur une méthode phénoménologique de A. Giorgi (1985) et de B. Giorgi (2006), un échantillon de trois participants a été ciblé. Pour ce qui est des entrevues, elles ont été conduites auprès de chaque participant à deux occasions différentes. Les 179 commentaires des participants qui étaient pertinents ont pennis d'identifier 23 thèmes qui ont été divisés en trois catégories: les communautés rurales, les organismes offrant des services dans le domaine du VIH/SIDA et l'expérience vécue par les gens employés par ces organismes. En parcourant l'expérience décrite par les participants, il est apparu évident que le VIH/SIDA demeure un phénomène complexe qui est grandement influencé par les structures et les caractéristiques de la société.

The intent of this study was to gain an appreciation for the experiences of mothers whose parental rights have been permanently severed through child welfare court orders of Crown Wardship with No Access. The study utilized an explorative, qualitative design approach and included semi-structured, in-depth interviews with four women. Participant text and found poetry presented the voice of mothers, something not often the focus in the child welfare literature. Themes of betrayal, loss, anger, and disenfranchised grief were reported in the research findings. The role of the social worker emerged as an important factor influencing the mothers. This study found that mothers need acknowledgment for their losses and support for their grief. Consideration for social work implications and further research are also discussed.

Streszczenie:
The Alfred Bog wetland is the largest high quality bog ecosystem and one of the most important natural areas in southern Ontario. The 4,200 hectare bog provides habitat to a large number of rare and endangered species and plays an integral role as a natural water filter. This study used the contingent valuation survey method to estimate respondents' willingness to pay for the preservation of the Alfred Bog wetland, which is threatened by the competing activities of drainage, burning, and the extraction of peat. A multiple bounded discrete choice model was used to analyze the survey results. Results indicated that respondents were willing to pay an average of $79.22, in the form of a one-time voluntary contribution to a hypothetical preservation fund, for the preservation of the Alfred Bog wetland. Conservation club membership, visits to the bog, donations to wetland preservation programs, attitudes, distance from the bog, household income, and education level were found to be important predictors of willingness to pay. Aggregate willingness to pay to preserve the bog was estimated to be between $2.2 million to $663,000 depending upon the inclusion or exclusion of protest bids. The survey results suggested that most of this value was nonuse value attributed to option, bequest, and altruistic values. Thus, the failure of policy makers and resource managers to consider nonuse values in decision making processes can understate the value of preserving the Alfred Bog.

Streszczenie:
This thesis examines the development of occupational health and safety policies in Ontario from 1880 to 1914 focusing on the Railway Accidents Act, Ontario Factory Act, Workmen's Compensation for Injuries Act and the Workmen's Compensation Act. Together they formed the basic regulatory framework that endured in Ontario until the 1970s.
The rise of industrial capitalism and the growth of the private market in the mid-1880s brought forward the factory system which depended on an unskilled labouring class and the use of power-driven machinery. Thus system of production created many risks for workers including accidents and diseases, and resultant financial problems caused by an inability to work.
The role of, and interactions among, workers, employers, and the state were key in determining the particular patterns of policy development. Although health and safety policies provided only minimal protection to workers, while at the same time causing little disruption to business, the policies were more beneficial to workers when labour played an active role in the policy-making process.

The purpose of this study was to examine the links between child maltreatment and animal abuse, how these two forms of maltreatment often occur simultaneously within a family and how the existence of one maltreatment type should alert professionals to the potential for other types of harm. File reviews were completed at both Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County (FCS) and the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA), Renfrew County Branch. Data were collected on relevant variables, including maltreatment type, removal and return of children/animals, legal involvement and risk ratings. A total of 188 common files were found, representing almost 25% of OSPCA cases in a 6-year period; 48% of these cases were open at both agencies at the same time. When the files for the two agencies were merged, several statistically significant correlations were found, including: correlations between physical harm to pets and domestic violence for FCS clients; between Criminal Code charges for FCS clients and police involvement for OSPCA clients; and between removals of children from families involved with FCS and neglect of pets. These findings suggest that there is a need for cross-training and cross-reporting between child protection and animal welfare sectors to ensure better protection of both children and animals.

Decomposition and MeHg concentration were measured for Sphagnum fuscum, Sphagnum angustifolium and Chamaedaphne calyculata in a poor fen in the low boreal forest zone of the Canadian Shield. Litter bags were transplanted reciprocally into hummocks, hollows and lawns and retrieved after 1, 2, 3,11 and 15 months.
Mass losses follow the trend: Chamaedaphne calyculata >> S. angustifolium > S. fuscum. Between species differences were far more significant than differences between locations or depths, indicating that litter quality is the major control on decomposition.
McHg concentrations generally increased during decomposition, particularly near the water table: for C. calyculata up to 13000%, for the two Sphagnum mosses up to 500%, suggesting that decomposition stimulates mercury methylation or McHg scavenging.
The discovery of a high McHg substance on C. calyculata leaf surfaces (25 ng g-1) suggests that much plant MeHg data may by skewed by the presence of a biologically active 'film'.

The High Risk Assessment Review Team (HART) in Belleville, Ontario is a community coordinated initiative that reviews domestic violence cases before the criminal court. Record analysis was conducted on 60 case files that had gone through criminal court in that jurisdiction. The purpose was to determine if a sample of cases reviewed by HART (n=30) would yield a higher rate of conviction and increased contact with community agencies when compared to a sample of cases (n=30) prior to this team being implemented. A logistical regression yielded no statistically significant results but did demonstrate a higher rate and likelihood of conviction in the HART sample as well as a greater involvement and likelihood of involvement with community agencies.

Access arrangements for birth parents of crown wards are a concern for child protection workers. Data on 84 crown wards were collected from 11 in care workers at a Children's Aid Society in Ontario, to determine whether best practice guidelines were being observed. Best practice derived from literature was operationalized as: (1) inclusion of birth parents and others in decisions affecting the child, and (2) connectivity ---maintaining family ties. Regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of inclusion and connectivity scores. Results showed three significant predictors of inclusion---worker knowledge, years in child welfare, and birth parents' source of income---and two predictors of connectivity---worker knowledge and parents' source of income. Findings suggest that agency training and support of workers can have a positive effect on implementation of best practice. The effect of income source is a puzzle, as income from employment was associated with lower inclusion scores, but higher connectivity scores.

The aim of my research was examine the impact of race, class and gender in Ottawa's educational system. I sought to find out if these factors played a role in the streaming of Black youths in basic or vocational programs and, if so, to what degree. While looking at the issue, I examined the narratives of both middle-class and working-class students and parents.
The study found that a student's socio-economic background largely determine her/his educational stream, be it basic, general or advanced. For example, all the participants in the vocational stream were working-class students while the participants that were streamed into the university bound program were from middle-class families. Teachers within the system also treated the parents differently. Middle-class parents had a greater degree of reciprocity between themselves and teachers compared to working-class parents.

Data on the occurrence of freshwater fishes in Ontario lakes were used to evaluate the scale of the processes that are primarily responsible for shaping their distributions and patterns of diversity. In Chapter 2 it is shown that, regardless of the scale of analysis, the most important factors structuring their distributions are climatic measures of energy, suggesting that species tend to be able to survive heterogeneous conditions falling within large areas encompassing their climatic affinities. In Chapter 3 it is shown that the relationship between species richness and energy (annual potential evapotranspiration) changes according to the scale on which it is measured. The species-energy relationship is weak at the local scale and stronger and steeper at increasing regional scales. This scale dependence is due to the ability of high energy regions to accommodate relatively large numbers of rare or infrequent species, and reflects the regional scale at which species respond to environmental gradients, particularly those related to energy. In Chapter 4 the relationship between local and regional species richness is examined. It is found that mean richness of lakes is linearly related to the species richness of the watersheds in which they reside. Together, the results point to the importance of processes that are regional in scale for shaping species' distributions and patterns of diversity.

Streszczenie:
PREVENT is a user-friendly, interactive computer program developed in the Netherlands which integrates the effects of demographic structure, risk factor prevalence, relative risks and mortality rates to estimate the impact of changes in risk factor prevalence on mortality. A new database for PREVENT has been developed with the following Ontario data: population structure, all-cause and disease-specific mortality, life expectancy, and birth projections. The current prevalence of smoking, obesity, alcohol and seat belt use is estimated from the Ontario Health Survey; the prevalence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia from provincial heart health surveys. Future changes in risk factor prevalences for the simulation period are extrapolated from past trends. Sensitivity testing shows that the mortality varies directly with both the prevalence and relative risks. The shape of the mortality prevention curve is affected by two factors. In the first twenty years the latency and lag times and the spread in implementation of the intervention dictate the pattern. In later years mortality is affected by the changing demographic structure, age-specific mortality rates and future trends in risk factor prevalence that are in the model. Historical testing of the risk factor smoking, using a 1966 Ontario database, shows good agreement between PREVENT estimates and observed total mortality. The agreement between predicted and observed mortality is not as close for lung cancer, IHD and COLD.

Objectives. The primary objective of this study is to identify predictors of leisure time physical activity (defined as the reported level of energy expenditure in non-work activities) in the adult population of Ontario. The secondary objective of this study is to compare the predictors in different subgroups of the Ontario population. Subgroups divided by age group, gender and whether the subject lived in a rural or an urban area will be examined specifically. Methods. Two different software packages were used for this thesis. Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) was used for preliminary analyses. Final models were tested using Statistical Analysis for Correlated Data (SUDAAN) software which is designed to adjust for the multi-stage sampling design. Subjects were included in this study if they were over the age of 18. Energy expenditure (NEW), the outcome variable, was calculated by summing the 20 different activity specific scores. Twenty-nine independent variables were considered as potential predictors. Three variables were excluded because they were found to be collinear with other potential predictors. The main statistical method used was multiple linear regression. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Streszczenie:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes from the soil surface, and concentrations within the soil profile, were measured between June 1998 and Sept. 1999 at four adjacent forest plantations and an old field in Nepean, Ontario. The objectives of this study were to quantify seasonal CO2 and CH4 fluxes from the soil surface and within the soil profile to determine the effect of soil moisture and temperature, and forest age and species on the exchange, and establish a chronosequence of organic carbon accumulation in the forest plantations and the old field soils.
Dynamic and static chamber techniques were used to measure surface fluxes of CO2 and CH4, respectively, and soil gas concentrations were sampled with probes. In the old field and forest plantations, surface soil CO2 flux ranged from 2.9 to 27 g CO2 m-2 d-1 and 2.0 to 39 g CO2 m -2 d-1 respectively. Significant differences due to age and species of plantation were observed. Seasonal variations in CO2 efflux from the soil surface and within the soil profile were related to variation in soil temperature and moisture. Uptake of CH4 was observed at all sites and there was no significant differences in flux due to vegetation type or age. Maximum rate of CH4 consumption was 6.3 mg CH4 m-2 d-1. Methane uptake was positively related to soil moisture conditions.
The carbon content of the soil increased in all sites following the establishment of vegetation on sandy parent material. Carbon content was greatest in the upper soil profile. Rates of carbon accumulation ranged from 109 to 426 g m-2 y-1. Soil carbon increased with increasing age of plantation during the first 30 years following the establishment of vegetation on parent material, but declined as the forest plantation matured.

Cette étude se propose de faire connaître une expérience éducative novatrice qui a débuté il y a une vingtaine d'années au Canada et qui connaît depuis, dans toutes les provinces et en Ontario en particulier, un essor notable. Il s'agit de rendre les jeunes anglophones bilingues en les plongeant dans un bain linguistique français, et ceci dès la maternelle pour l'option la plus répandue, ou plus tardivement. Cette expérience a été, dès le départ, très encadrée par des chercheurs universitaires, et les bilans positifs publiés au fil des années contribuèrent à sa crédibilité et à son essor. Cet essor est d'une part encouragé par les parents qui font pression aux niveaux national, provincial et local pour que le plus d'enfants possible aient accès à l'enseignement des deux langues officielles, mais est également freiné par la difficulté de recruter suffisamment d'enseignants compétents. Depuis peu, on commence à émettre quelques doutes sur le degré de bilinguisme atteint par ces jeunes : si leur compréhension est indéniable, leur niveau d'expression orale laisse souvent à désirer. Les critiques n'ont pour l'instant pas entamé la progression de ces programmes qui s'inscrit dans l'évolution législative du Canada et de l’Ontario en faveur du bilinguisme. L'immersion comme voie d'accès au bilinguisme constitue pour les jeunes une meilleure chance de s'insérer dans un pays ayant deux langues officielles et pour le Canada un facteur de son identité nationale
This study intends to highligt an interesting pedagogical experiment that started some twenty years ago in Canada and that has since known, in all the provinces and in Ontario in particular, a noteworthy development. Its aim is to make young anglophones bilingual by "immersing" them in a French linguistic bath, starting as early as kindergarten for the most successful option, or later in primary school. From the outset, this experiment has been strictly supervised by researchers and academics, and the positive assessments that have been published over the years have contributed to its development as has the action of the Canadian parents for French, a powerful association lobbying et a national, provincial and local level to make the teaching of the two official languages accessible to as many children as possible. Only recently have a few doubts been raised about the students' competence in French : if their understanding is ewcellent their oral expression seems quite belwo expectancy. Yet such criticism has not hindered the progression of those programs which is in keeping with the legislative evolution of ontario and canada in favor of bilingualism. The greatest obstacle to a quicker development is the difficulty of recruiting enough competent teachers. Bilingualism through immersion offers young people a better opportunity to fit in in a country with two official languages and is viewed as a fundamental caracteristic of Canadian national identity

This thesis examines the link between background factors to educational attainment, discipline choice, how first job was found and income at that first job. Findings are based on results of a panel study of Ontario high school students. Using human capital theory and comparing and contrasting it with the radical and credentialist arguments, I create a model to further specify the contributing factors to the already well established link between education and jobs. The results produced from the interactive causal model indicate that past research has neglected certain variables while confounding others. Specifically, while the findings are generally consistent with other empirical work, they suggest that (i) education should be treated as a more differentiated variable, (ii) the role of networks in job search behaviour should be included, (iii) gender differences should be considered and, (iv) that non additive models will often provide a better description of the data. Finally, it is also suggested that future work explore the possibility that the relationship between job search behaviour and discipline choice can best be described using a non-recursive causal model.

This study evaluates the life history responses of yellow perch to mass removal and the potential for population recovery. We removed approximately 94% of a perch population from Nepawin Lake, a 35 hectare oligotrophic lake in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, as part of a study designed to enhance the recruitment success of brook trout. Several response variables were examined both before and after mass removal: (1) condition, which includes growth, diet and overall condition responses, and (2) reproduction, which includes size at maturity and fecundity. We examine the question of whether compensatory life history responses in the yellow perch will overcome brook trout predation leading to a reestablishment of a high density perch population. Results showed that prior to the manipulation, perch exhibited a narrow size distribution, high dietary overlap, and low condition, typifying a stunted population. After mass removal, the perch population remained in a narrow size distribution, exhibited decreased growth rates for older age classes, showed increased mean condition and increased consumption of zooplankton in all size classes. Perch also exhibited increased size at maturity and decreased fecundity immediately following the mass removal. A time lag is expected before compensatory recruitment is possible in the population, but it is likely that the perch will recover from the mass removal because of strong age 0+ and 1+ cohorts. However, stunting and bottlenecking may still occur in the population. Continued monitoring and management is necessary to observe further changes to the perch population dynamics in Nepawin Lake.

Transracial adoption continues to be a widely debated and controversial subject matter. The purpose of this study was to complete an examination of what adoption social workers do to teach adoptive parents regarding their adoptees' differing cultural and ethnic background. A questionnaire was sent to all adoption social workers employed by Children's Aid Societies in Ontario; 90 responded. The questionnaire included questions regarding demographic information, opinions of transracial adoption and also explored the actual actions taken to teach adoptive parents about their adoptees' differing cultural and ethnic background. Findings were that the majority of adoption social workers in Ontario are Caucasian, and that they have a high level of agreement with the appropriateness of transracial adoptions. The total actions taken by social workers to educate adoptive parents were found to be quite low; a higher number of actions taken was associated with: (1) The social workers being older; (2) The fact that they adopted transracially themselves; (3) Longer experience in social work, and specifically in adoption; (4) More transracial adoptions facilitated.

The grounds of Canadian homes typically consist of trimmed lawns sparsely planted with ornamental trees and shrubs. Despite their low initial cost and immediate impact, conventional landscapes require significant annual capital and physical resources, such as fuel, water, herbicides and fertilizer. However, low-maintenance alternatives exhibit lower consumption rates and annual cost savings. This paper investigates the saving potential of four low-maintenance alternatives when compared to a conventional option through an evaluation of life cycle cost and annual maintenance resource consumption.
The five options were simulated using the proposed site and building of a low-rise, multi-residential housing project in Ottawa, where only the planting design varied for each simulation. The four alternatives involved: (1) replacing 70% of lawn areas with woody plants grouped in mulched beds, (2) eliminating turf and including 85% woody plants and a hard surface area of 15%, (3) replacing 70% of the turf area with naturalized woodland plantings and (4) replacing all turf areas with 85% naturalized woodland and tall grass prairie plantings and including a hard surface area of 15%. Only species that are well-adapted to the site conditions were selected for the alternatives. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Streszczenie:
Takeovers play an important role in the economy as they serve to reallocate economic resources to more efficient uses and replace inefficient management. Unregulated takeover bids pose a threat to the interests of the target company shareholders. The legislature pays special attention to takeover bids to make sure that the bona fide interests of the target company shareholders are duly protected. This is the primary purpose of the takeover bid regulation in Ontario. The regulation is also aimed at ensuring the horizontal equity among target shareholders and the efficient functioning of the capital market. This thesis analyzes the present regulation of takeover bids in Ontario and argues that while the whole system of takeover bid regulation is consistent with the proclaimed purposes, there are two issues that fall out of the coherent structure. The restriction on free transferability of shares and the adoption by boards of directors of shareholder rights plans do not enhance the protection of target company shareholders and do not correspond to the proclaimed purposes.

This study examined the managerial roles of presidents at the tertiary level within the province of Ontario, Canada in an effort to understand the importance of their position at the apex of their educational institutions, as well as, reveal and substantiate the challenges faced by them within the context of the twenty-first century. In particular, the study aimed to identify the extent to which the new public management ideologies, that impacted over the past decade the area of higher education, influenced their managerial roles. Determining how college Presidents understand their role, particularly how they act in that role, is extremely important since there is evidence that they contribute significantly to the achievement of strategic goals of the colleges. Moreover, there are reasons to believe that the findings of this study will help the Board of Governors in making hiring decisions in the future, as well as, determine if particular training is required for the candidates chosen for such position. Central to this study was the Role Theory. The research model used was based on Mintzberg’s taxonomy of managerial roles. The study used a mixed research methodology for providing answers to the proposed research questions. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the job of postsecondary college presidents has changed in the past two decades or so, to become more managerial in nature.

Is there a connection between structural and cultural conditions in Ontario English Language Public schools and results in student achievement in Provincial large-scale assessment in Grade Three Writing? The hypothesis is that development of professional community and technical culture, supported by shared leadership for school improvement and parental involvement, build organizational capacity to achieve gains in student academic performance in large-scale assessment. Thirteen schools, thirteen principals, and eighteen teachers participated in the study. Four schools were identified as high-performance, four as medium-performance, and five as lower-performance schools based on Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) large-scale assessment results for 1997-98 and improvement/lack of improvement in performance from 1997-98 to 1998-99. The study concludes that reform through assessment tends to increase focus on program, student learning, student achievement, and school improvement. Familiarity with EQAO's purpose and format, technical changes in writing instruction, professional development support, and school goal setting significantly correlate with improvement in student performance. "Markers" for EQAO are viewed as respected and informed teacher leaders. Teachers like to spend time in markers' classrooms. Reform through assessment has resulted in more relevant teacher in-service. Teachers are using previous EQAO assessment questions to familiarize students and parents with the process and methodology of Provincial assessment. Teachers reported a need to share workload and indicated greater appreciation of each other's expertise. Evidence of increasing development of professional community in high-performance schools and a more 'technical culture" through use of more precise language, getting students to "explain your thinking", and increasing use of rubrics and journal writing emerged in the study. High-performance schools reported that a shared leadership model was developing. Parental support through better conceptual understanding of program and assessment and acceptance of responsibility for homework completion as an extension of classroom practice were viewed as important factors in successful school performance. Teachers and principals agreed that change in public education is needed. Teachers were generally not in agreement with the method of implementing increased accountability in their classrooms through large-scale assessment. A lack of expertise in the use of data to modify and improve instruction was viewed as a need for concentrated professional development.
