Health Impacts of Resource Extraction and Development (HIRED) Health Impacts of Resource Extraction and Development (HIRED) Knowledge Synthesis Bibliography December 2017 Health Impacts of Resource Extraction and Development (HIRED) Knowledge Synthesis Bibliography In June 2010, Northern Health and the University of Northern British Columbia signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance research collaboration focused on health priorities in northern BC. To demonstrate Northern Health’s commitment to this partnership, Northern Health supported a research collaboration between Dr. Margot Parkes and Dr. Henry Harder at UNBC and Dr. Sandra Allison at Northern Health for a project entitled “Health Impacts of Resource Extraction and Development”. This bibliography is one of a series of products, which resulted from this collaborative project.

Disclaimer: The bibliography is intended as a first step in addressing an overall project aim to determine how the public health impacts of resource development are understood and addressed, and how these approaches can be applied and adapted to the specific context of northern BC. The literature identified in this bibliography is considered a resource for those seeking to identify community concerns about resource extraction and development in northern BC. The literature examined was limited to publications released between January 1995 and October 2015. The literature search did not yield many studies focused on topics that have been identified as topical issues in northern BC by project partners, including, for example, impacts of resource extraction and development on mental health and well-being; impact on determinants of health, via social pathways; and impacts to culture, community cohesion, including through ecological pathways. This suggests knowledge gaps that warrant more focused attention in future research. UNBC and Northern Health are not liable for any loss, claim, or demand arising directly or indirectly from any use or reliance upon the information. 1 Authors are listed beginning with lead author followed by others in alphabetical order. 2 Introduction Health is influenced by resource development through interrelated socioeconomic, ecological, cultural, and political pathways, which demand upstream, intersectoral responses. These relationships are especially important in countries such as Canada, where the economy remains tightly coupled with the development of natural resources and where the rate and scale of social and environmental change occurring in resource- rich regions is fueling debate regarding health impacts, especially for rural, remote and Indigenous communities. This bibliography was developed as one phase of a larger joint initiative between the Northern Health Authority (NHA) and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), known as the Health Impacts of Resource Extraction and Development (HIRED) project. The overarching aim for the HIRED project is to determine how the public health impacts of resource development are understood and addressed and how these approaches can be applied and adapted to the specific context of northern BC. Phase 1 of the project utilizes a scoping review methodology to address the following guiding question: What is the scope of published literature that addresses the links between resource extraction from the earth’s crust (e.g. mining/oil & gas) and health outcomes? This bibliography is one outcome of this scoping review and provides 2800 references to research on the health impacts of resource extraction between 1995 and October 2015. The bibliography was generated using a six-stage approach adapted from the scoping review guidance of Levac et al. (2010), and included consultation with a research librarian throughout the process. The research effort was focused on a variety of sources including academic journals, electronic databases, and University of Northern British Columbia library catalogue. Initially, 21,327 sources were identified through a scan of five databases completed by a librarian in collaboration with the research team. From this the research team used inclusion and exclusion criteria to identify relevant sources addressing the links between resource extraction from the earth’s crust (e.g. mining/oil & gas) and health outcomes. The final bibliography includes journal articles, book sections, and books. 3 1. Aalen, O. O., Borgan, O., & Fekjaer, H. (2001).

  • From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960
    From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960 Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hye-jung Park Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Committee: Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Ph.D., Advisor Ryan T. Skinner, Ph.D. Mitchell B. Lerner, Ph.D. Copyright by Hye-jung Park 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines music in US-Korea relations from 1941 to 1960. Beginning during World War II, the US government disseminated Western classical and American music in Korea. After the war, the United States also gained the confidence of Koreans by supporting Korean traditional music that had been suppressed under Japanese colonial rule. Yet South Koreans were not merely passive recipients of US propaganda. As the Korean War divided Korea into North and South, South Korean officials used music to affirm the anti-Communist alliance between South Korea and the United States. American music spread rapidly in South Korea, contributing to the formation of South Korean identities different from those of the Communist North. By tracing a history of musical relations in the transitional period from the colonial era to the early Cold War, this project emphasizes that US Cold War music propaganda programs were not an entirely new initiative but built on the foundations laid in the 1940s. By demonstrating that a peripheral country used music as a tool for political negotiations with a superpower, this project also expands the horizons of scholarship on music propaganda, which has focused overwhelmingly on US and Soviet interventions in Europe.

    Governing Shōnan: The Japanese Administration of Wartime Singapore Clay Eaton Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Clay Eaton All rights reserved ABSTRACT Governing Shōnan: The Japanese Administration of Wartime Singapore Clay Eaton The Japanese military administration of Southeast Asia during the Second World War was meant to rebuild the prewar colonial system in the region under strong, centralized control. Different Japanese administrators disagreed over tactics, but their shared goal was to transform the inhabitants of the region into productive members of a new imperial formation, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Shōnan, the wartime name for Singapore, was meant to be the center of this Co-Prosperity Sphere in Southeast Asia. It was the strategic fulcrum of the region, one of its most important ports, and a center of culture and learning for the wartime Japanese. Home to thousands of Japanese administrators during the war and a linguistically, ethnically, and religiously diverse local population, Shōnan was a site of active debates over the future of the Sphere. Three assumptions undergirded these discussions: that of Japanese preeminence within the Sphere, the suitability of “rule by minzoku (race)” for Southeast Asians, and the importance of maintaining colonial social hierarchies even as Japanese administrators attempted to put the region on a total war footing. These goals were at odds with each other, and Japanese rule only upended social hierarchies and exacerbated racial tensions. The unintended legacy of the wartime empire lay, not only in the new opportunities that Japanese rule afforded to Southeast Asian revolutionaries, but in the end of the politics of accommodation with imperial power practiced by prewar Asian elites.

Colonial Korea and the Olympic Games, 1910–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines how Koreans received and consumed the Olympic Games under Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945). Although a growing body of research on colonial Korea addresses a range of topics beyond politics and economy, sports is still a relatively neglected topic in this field. By exploring Olympic fever in colonial Korea, this study shows how multifaceted aspects of Korean society became a part of the global sports world. Korean athletes participated in the 1932 Summer, 1936 Winter, and 1936 Summer Games as part of the Japanese delegation, attracting much attention from members of all walks of life in colonial Korea. Public figures as varied as political leaders, intellectuals, sport journalists, and athletes recognized and promoted the Games through the burgeoning mass media. As the Olympic Games were a powerful tool for promoting Korean nationalism, Korean athletes’ performance was in the spotlight of Korean vernacular media, which also pursued commercial interests in featuring scandals of athletes. Nevertheless, many advocates of public gymnastics criticized what they perceived as the bourgeois-oriented, if not elitist, nature of the Games.

Rising sea level, subsidence and sedimentation synthesis scenarios; conclusions and knowledge gaps Ad van der Spek Deltares Netherlands The Wadden Sea Region consists of an extensive combination of barrier islands, coastal waters with channels and subtidal flats, tidal flats and salt marshes, where many natural abiotic processes still occur almost undisturbed. These processes include sea level movements, seabed movements, sediment transport, deposition and erosion. However, an increasing number of processes are being brought about by humans. The abiotic processes brought about by humans are also numerous: creation of polders and enclosure dams, climate change and in that context the expected accelerated rise in sea levels, subsidence, sediment suppletion and sand extraction. An important and current issue is whether and how the present Wadden Sea, with channels and subtidal flats, tidal flats and salt marshes, will be influenced in the next decades by the accelerated rise in sea levels caused by humans.
