Effects of Lower Troposphere Temperature on Ice Phenology and the Pacific Walrus Population
Get PDFThe effects of climate change on biotic communities and their environment have been one of the leading factors of recent population declines. This study investigated how climate change affected sea ice, a key component of the Pacific Walrus’s habitat, and in turn how it can affect walrus populations. Lower troposphere temperatures along with sea ice retreat data were obtained between 1979–2014 for the Arctic Ocean and Chukchi Sea region, respectively. Concurrently, Pacific Walrus population estimates were obtained from the literature. We found a significant, negative relationship between sea ice retreat and temperature such that earlier retreat of sea ice was more common with warmer temperatures. Sea ice retreat and temperature were good predictors and highly correlated with population size. These results provide a possible link between climate change and walrus population decline, and future studies should include life history and sea ice traits to solidify this linkage

Les appels de soumission sont envoyés aux conférenciers après la foire. Les soumissions doivent représenter de la recherche originale qui n’a pas été ni publiée ni soumise ailleurs. L’article doit faire preuve d’érudition propre au domaine de recherche. Les soumissions seront évaluées par un jury selon les critères suivants: l’originalité, la pertinence, la clarté d’expression et la compréhensibilité par une audience multidisciplinaire et diverse. On encourage les auteurs à participer à un atelier d’écriture offert par les membres du comité de rédaction et du Département d’Écriture de l’Université York. On accepte les soumissions en anglais ou en français en format MS Word ou RTF (à double interligne avec la taille de la police à 12 point). Les articles ne devront pas compter plus de 3500 mots (jusqu’à 15 pages à double interligne) et doivent respecter les normes de l’APA (7eédition) pour ce qui concerne le style, la bibliographie et les citations dans le texte. L’orthographie suit les normes des dictionnaires Le Petit Robert et Termium Plus. Toute image doit être étiquetée et requiert l’autorisation du créateur ou doit être déjà du domaine public. Outre l’article, il faut inclure : une page titre avec le(s) nom(s) de l’auteur/des auteurs, le courriel du contact principal, un résumé de 150 à 200 mots à double interligne, des mots-clefs, une liste de références en format APA, la date de présentation du projet à la foire de recherche des étudiants de premier cycle de l’Université York aussi bien que la date de soumission de l’article à ce périodique. Tous les articles proposés sont examinés par le comité de lecturede la revue—qui se réserve le droit d’accepter ou de refuser un texte—et peuvent aussi être évalués par les lecteurs experts dans la discipline.

Societal Fears of Female Sexuality in Witchcraft
Get PDFIn 1663, in Brunswick, Germany, Tempel Anneke was tried, found guilty of witchcraft, and sentenced to death. This project, supported by a literature review, theorizes that the trial and execution were the result of a 17th century fear of uncontrolled female sexuality and the inversion of prescribed societal norms. Witches represented a fear of female sexuality and the power of female sexuality threatened the basic social order. Tempel Anneke was labelled a witch because she was single (widowed) and did not adhere to the archetype of a mother. Her sexuality threatened existing gender norms and German societal norms
Japanese-Canadian Internment Camps in World War II
No full textDuring World War II, the situation of Japanese Canadians grew dire as Canada headed into battle with the forces of Imperial Japan. Discrimination increased against Japanese Canadians, who were labelled enemies within Canada. Tragically, the Canadian government created internment camps to illegally detain Japanese Canadians, removing them from their homes and placing them in squalid conditions, with little or no freedom of movement. This poster examines the reasons given by the Canadian government for the internment of Japanese Canadians and explores post-war responses by Japanese Canadians to internment. Responses included political mobilization, recovery from economic insolvency due to government seizure of properties, assets, and businesses, and re-insertion into the fabric of Canadian society. The study methodology involved researching accounts from internment camp survivors, consulting Japanese-Canadian and Japanese-American memorial centres, and reviewing historical newspaper articles from key Canadian newspapers. Despite the seizure of their property and assets, interned Japanese Canadians were able to unite and revitalize communities in the face of social trauma
An Ancient Greek Problem: Can We Trisect an Angle with Ruler and Compass?
No full textAncient Greek mathematics is considered to be the most important and basic foundation of modern mathematics. Many great mathematicians discovered theorems and formulas which are fundamental to modern mathematics. For example, most individuals learned the Pythagorean theorem in elementary school. Euclid’s Elements is known to be the greatest textbook in the history of math up until the 12th century. However, there were many other problems that cannot be solved; one of them is angle trisection. Trisection is the process of dividing something into three equal parts. Our goal was to prove the impossibility of trisection of an angle using only a ruler and compass
