La contribution des États Parties à la Convention du patrimoine mondial, au niveau national et internationalOriginaire d’Australie, Max Bourke a mené une longue carrière dans les domaines de l’agriculture et de la conservation. Impliqué dans la fonction publique pendant plus de vingt ans, il a été nommé directeur de l’Australian Heritage Commission dès sa création en 1976. De par cette position, il a contribué à la création du comité national australien de l’ICOMOS et a participé à la préparation des premiers dossiers de nominations de l’Australie pour la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Il sera par ailleurs vice-président du conseil d’administration d’ICOMOS International de 1984 à 1987. Il assiste également à quatre réunions du Comité du patrimoine mondial entre 1981 et 1986 en tant que conseiller de la délégation australienne et, en 1986, comme chef de la délégation. Max Bourke dirigera par la suite le Conseil des Arts d’Australie et le Bureau des Affaires multiculturelles avant de quitter la sphère publique en 1997 afin de fonder l’entreprise Rural Funds Management Ltd. La même année, il devient aussi le premier directeur de la Thomas Foundation, une organisation dédiée à contrer le déclin de la biodiversité en Australie. À la retraite depuis 2012, il poursuit son implication philanthropique au sein de plusieurs organismes dédiés à la nature et aux arts. Le gouvernement australien a d’ailleurs reconnu sa contribution en le faisant membre de l’Ordre d’Australie en 2004. Les extraits audio suivants sont issus d’une entrevue menée avec Max Bourke par Christina Cameron en octobre 2013 à Canberra en Australie. Il y relate son implication personnelle et celle de son pays dans les premières années de la Convention du patrimoine mondial. À travers ses réponses, il rend hommage aux idéaux qui sous-tendent cet outil international mais souligne les difficultés de son application pratique

A Transfer Report on the Development of a Framework to Evaluate Search Interfaces for their Support of Different User Types and Search Tactics
No full textAs the understanding of search systems, user needs and seeking strategies is developing, the design of search user interfaces is evolving to support more complicated and exploratory forms of search. With the design of new search features that enable these richer modes of exploration, comes the need to better understand the support they provide. In this report a new evaluation framework is presented that analyses search features for how they a) contribute to an overall interface, b) allow users to carry out different search tactics, and c) support different types of users and their needs. The novel contributions of the framework improve on some of the limitations of typical user studies, and allow search systems to be systematically analysed in much more detail and in much less time. The presented evaluation framework is then validated in three ways. First the validity of the models used as the building blocks of the framework are investigated through related work. Second the method of integrating these building-block models is validated and strengthened by consensus of expert opinion. Third, the overall approach is validated by comparing its analyses to the results of previously carried out user studies. The validation process has shown both the value of the framework and identified areas of future work that should be addressed for the framework to be completed. This report concludes with the set of contributions that the framework makes, and why the remaining work will be challenging, but critical to the final design

Civility and Partisanship : How We Can Train Future Politicians
No full textDr. Cameron co-founded the Institute for Future Legislators at UBC, the world’s first school for politicians. His most recent book, Political Institutions and Practical Wisdom (2018), explores how to cultivate the character and judgment necessary to become a wise practitioner.
Dr. Cameron was the 2005 Canadian Bicentennial Professor at Yale University, and a 2011 Peter Wall Institute Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence. His books include Strong Constitutions: Social-Cognitive Origins of the Separation of Powers (2013); The Making of NAFTA: How the Deal Was Done (2000); To Walk Without Fear: The Global Movement to Ban Landmines (1998); and Democracy and Authoritarianism in Peru (1994). Dr. Cameron is a frequent contributor to the media on topics like democratic reform, proportional representation, and campaign finance.Arts, Faculty ofPolitical Science, Department ofUnreviewedFacult
The subzero microbiome: Microbial activity in frozen and thawing soils
No full textMost of the Earth's biosphere is characterized by low temperatures (<5 °C) and cold-adapted microorganisms are widespread. These psychrophiles have evolved a complex range of adaptations of all cellular constituents to counteract the potentially deleterious effects of low kinetic energy environments and the freezing of water. Microbial life continues into the subzero temperature range, and this activity contributes to carbon and nitrogen flux in and out of ecosystems, ultimately affecting global processes. Microbial responses to climate warming and in particular, thawing of frozen soils are not yet well understood although the threat of microbial contribution to positive feedback of carbon flux is substantial. To date, several studies have examined microbial community dynamics in frozen soils and permafrost due to changing environmental conditions, and some have undertaken the complicated task of characterizing microbial functional groups and how their activity changes with changing conditions, either in situ or by isolating and characterizing macromolecules. With increasing temperature and wetter conditions microbial activity of key microbes and subsequent efflux of greenhouse gases also increase. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of microbial activity in seasonally frozen soils and permafrost. With a more detailed understanding of the microbiological activities in these vulnerable soil ecosystems, we can begin to predict and model future expectations for carbon release and climate change.Peer reviewe
