The Significance of a Relations-based Approach to Indigenous Research Ethics and Indigenous Data Sovereignty
(University of Winnipeg LibraryUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-12-08)BACKGROUND: Indigenous people have been increasingly asserting self-determination in research to “research ourselves back to life”. There is a current knowledge gap regarding how gender is considered in Indigenous research ... -
Long-Range Dispersal Behaviour and Spatial Distribution Modelling of Adult Mosquitoes in the Winnipeg Region
(University of Winnipeg LibraryUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-12-15)Mosquitoes are present in virtually every nation worldwide, acting as both a vector for many serious pathogens, and as a nuisance because of their blood-feeding behaviours. As a principle of Integrated Mosquito Management ... -
Genome-Wide Regulatory Interactions in the Early Stages of Drosophila Speciation
(University of Winnipeg LibraryUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-12-15)Speciation occurs when reproductive barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between individuals. A common form of reproductive barrier between species capable of interbreeding is hybrid sterility. Genomic ... -
An Examination of Police Culture and its Effects on Patrol Officers Attitudes towards Restorative Justice
(University of Winnipeg LibraryUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-12-12)The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between restorative justice and police culture, and the level to which this culture acts as barrier to the successful implementation and use of restorative justice ... -
Perceptions of Crime Seriousness and Punitive Attitudes in Post-Secondary Students
(University of Winnipeg LibraryUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-11)Public perceptions of crime seriousness and attitudes towards the punishment of crime stem from the social norms and values that shape society and are informed by ways of knowing about crime. Located within a social ... -
Accelerating Computation of Zernike and Pseudo-Zernike Moments with a GPU Algorithm
(University of Winnipeg LibraryUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-12-09)Although Zernike and pseudo-Zernike moments have some advanced properties, the computation process is generally very time-consuming, which has limited their practical applications. To improve the computational efficiency ... -
