In part I of this paper infrared spectra (2000 to 200 cm−1) are presented the binders and inorganic pigments commonly found in automotive topcoats undercoats. An attempt is made relate each binder spectrum composition binder.

The Métis are one of three recognized Indigenous groups in Canada and defined by their mixed First Nations European ancestry. In this grounded theory study, sixteen (n=16) participants Bawating[1], Ontario, were interviewed to share experiences as people. Participants described common themes being disconnected from identity childhood, which contributed a sense loss confusion. Following having languishing identities, shared complex life-long journeys towards flourishing identity. This journey...

In parts I and II of this study infrared spectra (2000 to 200 cm−1) are presented the binders inorganic pigments commonly found in automotive topcoats undercoats. An attempt is made relate each binder spectrum composition binder.

The purpose of this grounded theory study was to provide a framework for understanding the contemporary experience First Nations grandparents. Fifteen respondents ( N = 15) were selected from two demographically different Canadian cities. Seven grandparents lived with their child and grandchild or grandchildren at time interview; an additional four had some point prior investigation. Results revealed that leveraged own experiences cultural disruption reinvest in health well-being...

This study aimed to document the prevalence and factors associated with complete mental health (CMH) among Aboriginal peoples living in Canada. CMH is comprised of three parts: 1) absence major depressive episode, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, serious suicidal thoughts, substance dependence past year as measured by World Health Organization (WHO) versions Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WHO-CIDI), 2) happiness and/or satisfaction life month, 3) psychological social...

In parts I and II (1,2) of this present series papers the use infrared spectrophotometry using diamond windows (3,4,5) in analysis classification 1 to 4 μg samples individual automotive paint layers was outlined.In order demonstrate practical technique four recent case histories are described, three which concern hit-and-run offences a transfer between suspect victim, fourth involving fragment found on murder victim. Each presents slightly different aspect forensic examination paint.

A system of classifying automotive paint using an Infrared (diamond window) technique was previously discussed(1,2,3) and a manual proposed(4) for storing the data to permit comparison with spectra from forensic exhibit material. Further work has led development computerized library search retrieval based on classification chemical components color individual layers. The criteria design system, method entry query will be described.

Indigenous post-secondary students face cumbersome barriers to educational attainment. This article explores those and presents findings from a survey of conducted at Algoma University in Sault St. Marie, Ontario, Canada. For First Nations’ surveyed 2016 ( n = 36), funding was identified as major barrier and, considering that nearly half had dependents, finding affordable housing childcare significant challenge. The transition an urban area living on-reserve is also difficult for many...

This paper presents the results of a collaborative study in which five RCMP Laboratories across country were asked to analyze number automotive undercoat paints by infrared spectroscopy and identify components each using hierarchical code system. Some spectra coding are presented discussed.

To explore factors associated with recovery from suicidal ideation among Aboriginal peoples living off reserve in Canada. Recovery is defined as being free of serious thoughts for the past year. Data this study came 2012 Peoples Survey, a nationally representative sample Canada who are off-reserve. The consisted those had seriously considered suicide at some point their life (n = 2,680). Those been year were compared to no longer using Pearson chi-square and logistic regression analyses....

This paper presents the results of a collaborative study which asked thirty examiners from across country to color code given sets paint samples using Munsell Matte Collection chips. The range coordinates that could be routinely expected when same sample was coded by chemists in different laboratories is discussed.
