School-Based Karate-Do: Supporting The Well-Being of Gay Male Youth

This paper explores how the traditional practice of karate-do can support the overall well-being of gay male youth (GMY). Many GMY are at a heightened risk of mental health issues that are linked to heteronormative attitudes, homophobic discrimination, and hegemonic masculinity found within sport culture. The traditional martial art of karate-do has the potential to be an effective mental health strategy for GMY. However, the commercialization of martial arts has meant the loss of its philosophical values as a traditional practice towards an overall sense of well-being and has become associated and confused with a violent and combative nature. These benefits have been misunderstood by the general public through organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) franchise and the practice of mixed martial arts (MMA) for competition and sport. This paper explores the benefits of a school-based karate-do program as an embodied well-being program for GMY. This paper concludes with a list of recommendations that will help support educators, physical education teachers, and school administrators in the implementation of a school-based karate-do program as an embodied well-being practice for GMY within Canadian schools.The video abstract for this paper is available on YouTube

The effect of Adiabatic compression on the fundamental plane of bulges

This project has used scaling relations and the Fundamental Plane to investigate the phenomenon of bulge compression. Bulge compression takes place as disks grow around bulges. When the bulge is compressed the velocity dispersion of the bulge increases, according to the Virial theorem. This project has found the physical parameters of the uncompressed classical bulges from calculation and simulated data. This project has also found that classical bulges migrate from the scaling relations and the Fundamental Plane for elliptical galaxies during bulge compression. This can be interpreted as the morphological change of disk galaxies from being bulge-like. If a de Vaucouleurs pro_le can be well _tted to uncompressed bulges, then bulge compression would result in a departure from the de Vaucouleurs pro_le to the n = 1 S_ersic pro_le of the underlying disk. Since the uncompressed classical bulges also appear to be more elliptical, these _ndings have implications on our understanding of the kinematic and evolution of galaxies

Economic and Energy Impacts of Adaptive Reuse Building Construction

Adaptive reuse of buildings is an alternative to a building’s end-of-life where A building’s functional life may be extended to serve another purpose. Many studies suggest that adaptive reuse is more sustainable compared to typical demolition and new construction in terms of environmental, social, and economic impacts. However, these claims are qualitative in nature and are limited to economics at the project scale. This thesis quantifies the energy and economic impacts of adaptive reuse building construction in the Region of Waterloo (RoW) in Ontario, Canada. Input-Output (IO) models were developed to study the impacts of adaptive reuse building construction. First, an IO model was developed for Ontario. Then, it was regionalized into a two-region interregional input output (IRIO) model to study the RoW. The building construction industries’ intermediate inputs and final demands were altered in the Ontario IO model to reflect changes in the building construction industries due to changes in the supply and demand of adaptive reuse buildings. A basic scenario represents the situation where only the building’s superstructure and substructure are reused. The basic scenario was then extended to reflect the reuse of internal non-structural components. The IO models examine impacts to gross domestic product (GDP), industry outputs, employment and energy use, and comparisons are drawn between Ontario and the RoW. It was found that adaptive reuse building construction may benefit Ontario’s and the RoW’s economy and reduce energy consumption under certain combinations of changes in intermediate inputs and final demands. The desired domain of adaptive reuse construction, where energy use decreases, while GDP and employment increases, is discerned for both the residential and non-residential building construction industries in Ontario

Laughter Yoga as a School-based Wellness Program: Supporting the Well-Being of Nishnawbe Youth: Supporting the Well-Being of Nishnawbe Youth

This paper explores how the participation in Laughter Yoga (LY) could assist in supporting the overall well-being of Nishnawbe youth. Many Nishnawbe youth are at a heightened risk of mental health issues and social inequities that are associated with the (social) stigma and discrimination that is indicative of colonialism. I illustrate these risks and inequities by discussing the effects of colonialism and the Indian Residential Schools. I discuss the educational inequities that impact many First Nations youth and review the province of Ontario’s largest coroner’s inquest into the tragic deaths of seven Nishnawbe youth in the Canadian city of Thunder Bay as an example of these inequities. I then provide an Indigenous perspective of mental health in Canadian schools and introduce how the use of laughter has been recognized by Indigenous groups around the world as an integral component of community bonding, social interaction, and communal storytelling. Next, I examine the positive physiological and psychological affects that laughter has on the body and how the promotion of laughter is one strategy that could be introduced to advocate an overall sense of wellness. I then explain the concept of LY and the benefits that LY could have in the classroom. This paper concludes with a list of recommendations that will help support educational administrators, educators, and those who work with/for First Nations youth in the implementation of a school-based LY program as an embodied movement wellness practice with/for First Nations youth within Canadian schools

An interactive motion analysis framework for diagnosing and rectifying potential injuries caused through resistance training

With the rapid increase in individuals participating in resistance training activities, the number of injuries pertaining to these activities has also grown just as aggressively. Diagnosing the causes of injuries and discomfort requires a large amount of resources from highly experienced physiotherapists. In this paper, we propose a new framework to analyse and visualize movement patterns during performance of four major compound lifts. The analysis generated will be used to efficiently determine whether the exercises are being performed correctly, ensuring anatomy remains within its functional range of motion, in order to prevent strain or discomfort that may lead to injury

Laughter yoga as embodied healing and educational well-being with Nishnawbe youth

This portfolio is based upon a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded Partnership Development Grant project entitled Tikkun Indigenous Youth Project: Pedagogies of Repair and Reconciliation. The project is focused on northern1 First Nations2 youth who have no choice but to leave their communities and families in order to “get an education” in the city of Thunder Bay’s high schools. This predicament continues because most far northern Ontario communities in the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) do not have the funding or capacity to run community high schools, which has resulted in Nishnawbe3 or First Nations youth having to leave their homes to pursue secondary education. This dislocation from family, community, Land, and culture often subjects these youth to psychological isolation, racist abuse, and physical threats that can lead to serious mental illnesses, anxiety, depression, and educational disengagement. Based on the positive healing effects of a 3-day Land-based well-being retreat, this portfolio explores how the embodied approach of Laughter Yoga (LY) could be an effective school-based well-being strategy for Nishnawbe youth. This portfolio is a collection of six chapters: (1) an introduction to the project/portfolio; (2) a literature review; (3) the key components of the well-being retreat; (4) a multi-modal Prezi presentation (showcasing the retreat) that was presented at the Indspire National Gathering, including a personal reflection on the experience; (5) a conference poster presentation of my portfolio research that highlights the impacts that LY had on the Nishnawbe youth and; (6) a reflection on LY during the retreat

Modeling Spatial Relations of Human Body Parts for Indexing and Retrieving Close Character Interactions

Retrieving pre-captured human motion for analyzing and synthesizing virtual character movement have been widely used in Virtual Reality (VR) and interactive computer graphics applications. In this paper, we propose a new human pose representation, called Spatial Relations of Human Body Parts (SRBP), to represent spatial relations between body parts of the subject(s), which intuitively describes how much the body parts are interacting with each other. Since SRBP is computed from the local structure (i.e. multiple body parts in proximity) of the pose instead of the information from individual or pairwise joints as in previous approaches, the new representation is robust to minor variations of individual joint location. Experimental results show that SRBP outperforms the existing skeleton-based motion retrieval and classification approaches on benchmark databases
