A Brief Review of the Traditional Indigenous Architecture of Canada

Henry Hing-Yip Tsang(Henry Hing-Yip Tsang ) 한국캐나다학회 2020 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.25 No.2

The identity of Canadian architecture is hard to define. Many waves of immigration of all contributed in sculpting the built environment in Canadian cities. Identity has much to do with origins, therefore tracing Canadian architecture should start by studying the architecture of our First Nations and indigenous people. This paper briefly explores the roots of Canadian architecture tracing back to the various indigenous tribes of Canada and outlines the main characteristics of the vernacular architecture built by these people. This paper review seven major typologies of indigenous architecture found in Canada: the Wigwam, the Longhouse, the Tipi, the Pit House, the Thule Winter House, the Plank House and the Igloo. Different indigenous tribes construct different styles of architecture as shelters that respond to their particular abodes and lifestyle. For instance, tribes living in colder climates construct narrow entrance tunnels for preventing cold wind drifts, whiles other tribes dig earth and construct their shelters protected by tree bark and soil. Further, living styles also influence the different types of shelters. Nomadic tribes carry thin long logs and animal hide with them and construct Pit Houses in places where they spend days chasing bison herds. Other tribes, engaged in agriculture therefore need a more permanent residence, such as the Iroquois who build Longhouses with wood bark and mats. Although this paper is brief, it lays the foundation for those who wish to understand and pursue further research into the different typologies of indigenous architecture of Canada.

The Influence of Asian Immigration on the Architectural Culture of Canada: A Study on the Preservation of Asian Culture and Identity in Architecture in Canada

Henry Hing-Yip Tsang(Henry Hing-Yip Tsang ) 한국캐나다학회 2017 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.23 No.2

Immigrants from Asian countries to Canada has a history dating back to the 18th Century, and Asian-Canadians today make up an increasingly significant part of the Canadian population. As these communities grow over generations, they become an integral part of the culture and heritage of Canada’s own culture of multiculturalism. Originating from Asia and reestablishing themselves in Canada, immigrants carry with them culture, customs and away of life to their new home, ranging from new food, fashion, customs, language and even the way to construct buildings. This paper studies the relationship of Asian immigrant communities with the spaces and buildings they occupy, and how they inhabit and adapted spaces, buildings and cities to represent the culture and identity of their country of origin. In particular, the paper will focus on three major Asian ethnic groups: Chinese, Japanese and Korean, trace their paths and identify major tendencies in how each have attempted to preserve culture and express identity in the design of significant buildings in their communities. The research methodology consists firstly of literature review on the subject of Asian immigration and the mapping of major architectural style trends in Canada. Secondly, a selection of buildings were identified from each community for further analysis, including site visits, study of architectural drawings, plans, photographs, as well as interviews with building occupants to better understand the significance of these buildings and how they were conceived to represent their ethnic communities. Preliminary results indicate that the Chinese community, with along history of immigration to Canada, expresses identity mainly in the exterior appearance of the buildings. The Japanese community has a scattered history of immigration to Canada and the expression of identity is rather subdued and the expression is present mainly in the building’s interior. The Korean community is relatively young in Canada, and has a tendency to adapt existing spaces and buildings, while expressing culture and identity through signage and decoration.

Mechanistic insights into the membrane fouling mechanism during ultrafiltration of high-concentration proteins via in-situ electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)

Henry J. Tanudjaja,Angie Qi Qi Ng,Jia Wei Chew 한국공업화학회 2022 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.106 No.-

Membrane fouling by the high protein concentrations used in the biopharmaceutical industry remainspoorly understood. In this study, feed concentrations of up to 10,000 ppm of bovine serum albumin(BSA) were investigated with three polymeric membranes, two of which had the same molecular weightcut-off (namely, PES100 and PSF100), and two were of the same membrane material (namely, PES100 andPES10). A crossflow ultrafiltration (UF) setup equipped with electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) wasused. Results indicate that fouling was predominantly external for all cases, except for the PES100 membrane(i.e., most porous) at 10,000 ppm of BSA, whereby fouling was internal which led to the greatestflux decline. For 10,000 ppm of BSA, (i) for the PES100 and PSF100 membranes, the Nyquist plots shiftedto the left initially, then to the right as the BSA deposition started, but (ii) for the tighter PES10 membrane,the shifts kept going leftwards due to NaCl accumulation out-pacing BSA build-up. The main takeawayfor filtering feeds with high BSA concentrations is that higher steady-state flux could be achieved byaverting internal fouling, either through using membranes with dense internal structures or lowerMWCO.

2LO-22 Ionic liquid-assisted ball milling fabrication of Large-Scale nanostructured Fe₂O₃ for high-performance pseudocapacitors

( Henry Kahimbi ),최봉길 한국공업화학회 2017 한국공업화학회 연구논문 초록집 Vol.2017 No.1

We herein report that ionic liquid-assisted ball milling of iron precursors in the absence of any reagent resulted in the scalable production of crystalline Fe₂O₃ with a favourable morphology (high surface area of 202 ㎡ g^-1 and pore size of 40 nm) for supercapacitor applications. The unique properties of ILs, which include low volatility, suitability for structural design, good thermal and chemical stabilities, and high ionic conductivities, have led to novel morphologies and interesting properties such as solubility, chemical reactivity, and charge transfer. The assynthesized Fe₂O₃ had excellent electrochemical performance in terms of specific capacitance, high rate capability, and excellent cycle life.

The dentist-scientist career pathway in Africa

Henry Ademola Adeola,Anthonio Adefuye,Olujide Soyele,Azeez Butali 한국의학교육학회 2018 Korean journal of medical education Vol.30 No.3

The future of evidence-based dentistry in developing Africa heavily depends on a sustainable establishment of a vibrant dentist-scientist workforce. A dentist scientist is saddled with the responsibility of carrying out robust cutting edge research projects that are inspired by clinical experience. Currently, there are no pipelines in place to systematically train such dentists, neither are there programs in place to allow trained African dentists choose such a career pathway. A dentist-scientist is a person who studied oral, dental, maxillofacial (or craniofacial) diseases, prevention, and population sciences (obtaining a medical degrees such as bachelor of dental surgery [BDS] or BChD) alone; or in combination with other advanced degrees such as doctor of dental surgery (DDS)/doctor of philosophy (PhD) or BDS/PhD. This situation has resulted in overdependence of African clinical practice on research findings from technologically advanced Western countries and a decline in clinical research capacity building. The career path of a dentist-scientist should involve research along the spectrum of basic biomedical sciences, translational, clinical and public health sciences. There are several factors responsible for the ultra-low count of dentist-scientist in the heterogeneous African communities such as: poor biomedical research infrastructure; lack of funding; absence of structured dentist scientist career pathways; lack of personnel, inter alia. Hence, this review hopes to discuss the opportunities of setting up a dentist-scientist training pathway in Africa (as obtains in most developed world settings), identify opportunities and prospects of developing an African dentist-scientist workforce, and finally discuss the challenges involved.

Transforming Representations of Intangible Heritage at Iziko (National) Museums, South Africa

Henry C. Jatti Bredekamp 국립민속박물관 2006 International Journal of Intangible Heritage Vol.1 No.-

The article is about the dilemma of transforming fiveformer national museums in South Africa into oneamalgamated heritage institution subscribing to a postapartheidnational agenda and UNESCO’s broad definitionof intangible heritage. By way of introduction it situates theintangible heritage discourse in the country against thebackdrop of a transformation process initiated after 1994,which led, inter alia, to the formation of Iziko Museums byan Act of Parliament. The larger part of the paper isdevoted to the question of the extent to which IzikoMuseums can regard its inherited collections (from 1825)in the Social History, Natural History and Art Collectionsfunctional units - representing the various domains ofexpressions of living cultural heritage - as genuinerepresentations of intangible heritage from the Cape toCairo and beyond.

Governmentality in Late Colonial Korea?

Henry Em 고려대학교 민족문화연구원 2012 Cross-Currents Vol.- No.5

In South Korea, more so than in most other postcolonial countries, the issue of sovereignty and the colonial past remains a central feature of politics. Most recently, during a televised presidential debate on December 4, 2012, Lee Jung-hee of the Unified Progressive Party said something that likely had never been said on South Korean television: “Takaki Masao signed an oath of loyalty [to the Emperor of Japan], in his own blood, to become an officer in the Japanese [Imperial] Army. You know who he is. His Korean name is Park Chung Hee.” Lee Jung-hee then made the connection between that colonial past and the willingness to sell out the nation’s sovereignty in the present. The conservative candidate Park Geun-hye, the daughter of the late President Park Chung Hee who ruled South Korea from 1961 through 1979, and members of Park’s Saenuri Party, remain true to their “roots”: these “descendants of pro-Japanese collaborators and dictators” (again) sold out South Korea’s sovereignty (on November 22, 2011) when they rammed the US-ROK Free Trade Agreement through the National Assembly. . .
