BACKGROUND There are unequivocal health disparities, both physical and mental, between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of Canada. METHODS Utilizing narrative inquiry, 15 néhiyawak (Plains Cree people) between 18 and 71 years of age from Thunderchild First Nation were interviewed to explore what improved their mental health and well-being and what they needed to attain optimal mental...

1.2 Machine failure A system is composed of 5 components, each of which is either working or broken. Consider an experiment that consists of observing the status of each component, and let the outcome of the experiment be given by the vector (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5), where xi = 1 if component i works and 0 if component i is broken. 1. How many outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment? 2....

Neoplastic transformation is a complex process that results from multiple changes in gene activities. Probably most of these are mutational, i.e. alterations in the genomic structure of DNA, but others may be due to adaptive changes wherein genes are expressed that are inappropriate to a stage of development or differentiation. In this commentary neoplastic development is discussed in the conte...

A precondition for extracting information from large text corpora is discovering the information structures underlying the text. Progress in this direction is being made in the form of unsupervised information extraction (IE). We describe recent work in unsupervised relation extraction and compare its goals to those of grammar discovery for science sublanguages. We consider what this work on gr...

‘Occupation’ in this paper refers to the ordinary, everyday things people do to meet their various needs, interests and aspirations. As such it is inclusive of but broader than the concept of ‘work’. Poverty and inequality compromises peoples’ capacity to participate or “do” in daily life. Restricted ‘doing’ narrows their possibilities for experiencing health and well-being as resources for liv...

le mouvement transversal de la locomotive ou des wagons , appele ie lacet, provient de deux causes principales: -la conicite des bandages -les irregularites de la voie dans ie plan horizontal. on se propose ici d'etudier la premiere cause , ce qui nous conduit a une equation differentielle non lineaire du deuxieme ordre. • l'equation en question est etudiee dans plusieurs cas difftten...

We design and release BONIE, the first open numerical relation extractor, for extracting Open IE tuples where one of the arguments is a number or a quantity-unit phrase. BONIE uses bootstrapping to learn the specific dependency patterns that express numerical relations in a sentence. BONIE’s novelty lies in task-specific customizations, such as inferring implicit relations, which are clear due ...

ANTHROPOLOGY TODAY VOL 20 NO 2, APRIL 2004 In the July 2003 issue of Current Anthropology, Adam Kuper vehemently attacked the indigenous peoples’ movement, claiming it to be retrograde, anti-progressive and right wing. He has given these views extensive publicity by speaking on BBC radio and having his article reprinted in the New Humanist, illustrated by a cartoon that forcefully equates indig...
