A proposed moderation model of socially prescribed perfectionism and mattering to predict maladjustment in first-year university students
(2020)
Emerging adulthood (ages 18-29) is recognized as a stage associated with unique developmental
needs and transitions. Moving from high school to university is one life transition that demands
for multiple adjustments and ...
The stereochemical impact of chiral ionic liquids on [2+2] photochemical cycloadditions and aldol reactions
(2020)
Eight chiral ionic liquids have been prepared for use as solvents to test whether they can
induce enantioselectivity in both photochemical [2+2] cycloadditions and aldol reactions using a
variety of starting materials. ...
A Modification of the Effros-Handelman-Shen Theorem with Z2 actions
(2020)
In this thesis, we show that if we have a Z2 action on a latticeordered dimension group, then it will arise as an inductive limit of Z2
actions on simplicial groups. This work was motivated by the range of
the invariant ...
The lived experiences of ‘home' for women waiting to relocate into a long-term care home
(2020)
'Home' is typically described as a haven for safety, comfort, privacy, and familiarity. For older women who
are unsure of their future or who may have a different relationship with their place of residence, 'home' is
an ...
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)
A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals
at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical
fiber was tapered with a dynamic ...
Closing the northern gap: care provider perspectives on the suitability of an eHealth app for maternal mental health in Northwestern Ontario
(2020)
Maternal depression affects up to 25% of women during the perinatal period; however,
less than 10% of these women go on to receive adequate mental healthcare (Andersson et al.,
2004; Bailey, 2001; Cox, Sowa, Meltzer-Brody, ...
Severity and gendered mental disorders: does perceived illness severity influence gendered stereotypes of mental health stigma?
(2020)
Compounding the already difficult nature of mental illness is the stigma attached to it, and
mental illness is highly stigmatized. Social scientists have begun to explore and find evidence
that stereotypes are not always ...
Role of phenolic compounds on blue light induced retinal pigment cell damage: an in vitro study
(2020)
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that affects
the macula, causing blurred central vision making it difficult for diagnosed patients to
see fine details and have trouble with everyday ...
Immanants and their applications in quantum optics
(2020)
The regular representation of Sn appears quite naturally in the combinatorial problem
of the redistribution of quantum particles though an n-channel interferometer. By using
tools from representation theory, it has been ...
Thinking about the future: life after a diagnosis of dementia
(2020)
The purpose of this research was to explore people living with dementia’s perceptions of the
future since being diagnosed. Research on the experiences of people living with dementia
focuses on key aspects such as diagnosis, ...
