From Past to Present: A Revised Approach for Alcohol Use Disorder 
'Alcoholism. It can happen to anyone.' While accurate, when public health campaigns use 
this oversimplified phase, they overlook important key aspects about alcohol use disorder 
(AUD). Firstly, that is does not happen to everyone. Secondly, it does not happen to everyone at 
the same rate. Understanding what drives an addiction and thereby developing treatment plans 
for AUD is complex, dynamic, and does not adhere to the binary imagination of cause and effect 
widely believed now. 
Managed alcohol programs (MAPs) have surfaced as a new modality of treatment in that 
it provides a compassionate, pragmatic approach to help individuals reduce alcohol-related harm 
and improve quality of life while not forcing abstinence-only treatment. Thus, revising a new 
non-abstinent approach that focuses on mastering one’s self-efficacy, enhancing client 
motivation, and building a supportive social context may be one way to build a new harm 
reduction program that leads to better relapse prevention.

Using Laboratory Impact Testing and Finite Element Modelling to Improve Protective Sports 
Helmet Designs and Prevent Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries 
By: Luke Patterson, MME MESc. Candidate 
Supervisor: Dr. Haojie Mao 
Helmets are an essential piece of equipment for protection against mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) 
in sporting activities such as ice hockey. mTBIs can be caused by the straining of tissues and axonal tracts 
within the brain. Current helmet designs are excellent at preventing acute surface injuries, but only offer 
limited protection against diffuse injuries such as mTBI-relevant diffuse axonal injury, which is caused by 
the straining and tearing of axons within the brain. Incorporating results from finite element simulation of 
the brain during laboratory impact testing into the helmet design process can help equipment 
manufacturers design helmets that better protect against the rotational component of impacts, which cause 
axonal injury. Additionally, these finite element simulation results can be utilized as inputs to artificial 
intelligence networks, which can instantaneously quantify brain tissue and axonal strain from head 
impacts and indicate if the impact is likely to cause a mTBI.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the World Wide Web changed the world. The first generation of the Web 
served text-based, static content. The second, and current, iteration of the Web uses cloud computing 
to bring streaming, interactive media to users. The next generation of the Web will incorporate 
augmented reality—a digital layer atop the real world. People will interact with this digital layer through 
smartphones and augmented reality glasses. This new digital overlay will change the world again—
literally. Unfortunately, cloud computing alone is not responsive enough to handle the increased data 
requirements of this new Web while still maintaining a positive user experience. Fog computing is one 
proposed solution; it brings cloud services physically closer to users, overcoming the cloud’s limitations. 
My research focuses on building and managing a scalable fog network, and creating tools for 
developers, to make augmented reality the Web’s the new reality.

Boredom and Complaint: a moment 
My dissertation examines literary depictions of boredom from the late nineteenth century to the present. 
Though, as Sianne Ngai writes in Ugly Feelings, considered a “minor” and “unprestigious” feeling, 
boredom, “gradual in onset” and with capacity for duration (6; 261), is powerful in affect. It tells us 
something—a call to action, a desire for desire, a moment of awakening. My analysis of boredom focuses 
on the moments of complaints of bored characters and, by analyzing complaints, I investigate the role that 
boredom plays in the self-actualization of bored figures in specific social and gendered settings. To that 
end, my chapters focus on the desire for desires, bored housewives, solitude and rumination, bored workers 
and quitting.  
 
Busra Copuroglu (she/her) is a Ph.D. candidate in Comparative Literature at Western University. Most 
recently, she edited an essay cluster on boredom entitled Bored As Hell for the Contemporaries section of 
the online journal Post45, which brings together scholars working on American literature and culture since 
1945.

How is the knowledge of everyday events related to communication in  
autism spectrum disorder? 
 
In our day-to-day lives, we experience a continuous series of events, such as getting ready for 
work or school in the morning, writing an email, and going grocery shopping. Although people 
generally have a good understanding of the pattern of activities that make up everyday events, 
some individuals have less typical knowledge of these patterns. Previously, I found that higher 
levels of autistic traits, particularly higher levels of social communication difficulties, are related 
to less typical knowledge of how events unfold over time. Currently, I am investigating how this 
knowledge is related to pragmatic language skills, such as making inferences, in autism spectrum 
disorder. Some autistic individuals struggle with pragmatic language skills, yet these skills are 
necessary for effective social communication. My research will ideally add to our understanding 
of the ways in which autistic individuals communicate differently than non-autistic individuals.

Before A Woman Can Enterprise In Sport, She Must Feel Safe In Sport 
 
As Batswana and women in sport, my research team and I know how difficult it is for women in 
Botswana to build sustainable careers in sport. Social entrepreneurship is lauded as an effective 
way for African women to achieve economic empowerment and fulfil social deficiencies in their 
communities. Namely, social entrepreneurship in sport (SES) allows women to circumvent the 
lack of support they receive from the government and the male-dominated sport industry. Our 
research sort to explore the environment of SES for Batswana women, but we quickly 
discovered that ‘before a woman can enterprise in sport, she must feel safe in sport’. Our 
research shows that for Batswana women in sport, ‘safety’ is not just protection from physical 
harm. Safety is ‘security’ – feeling a sense of belonging and acceptance. We therefore propose a 
gender-specific safe-guarding policy that promotes a safe environment for the cultivation of SES 
for Batswana women.
