1. The Conception of Risk in Minority Young Adolescents Aged 12-14 Years

Author

Leblanc, Raymond, Drolet, Marie, Ducharme, Daphne, Arcand, Isabelle, Head, Robert, and Alphonse, Jean R.

Abstract

This study examines the conceptualization of risk behavior held by 26 Franco-Ontarian young adolescents (12-14 years of age) who participated in Lions Quest, a program specially designed to promote physical and mental health and to prevent drug and alcohol use. More specifically, it seeks to better understand the participating adolescents' conception of risk and protective factors in a linguistic minority context, with the eventual purpose to prevent or delay alcohol and drug use. A qualitative methodology mainly based on semi-structured interviews generated discussion around a variety of dimensions related to risky behaviors, extreme and dangerous risks, positive and negative risks, social and physical risks. The adolescents hardly mentioned drug, alcohol, and cigarette use. However, they were aware of the risks of consumption and dependence.

18. A technique for the in situ assessment of the vertical nitrogen flux caused by the diel vertical migration of zooplankton

Abstract

A technique was developed for the in situ assessment of the vertical nitrogen flux caused by the diel vertical migration of zooplankton. It is demonstrated that given a high inter-individual variation in body nitrogen content and low sample size, detection of the predicted diel change may be obscured. The technique can be used to measure the vertical carbon fluxes caused by normal diel vertical migration in both omnivorous and carnivorous species.
