Bibliographic record
Abstract
ii This exploratory study examined the impact of sexuality, gender and aging on older lesbian and bisexual women’s access to home care services and their experiences of receiving home care. This study had three objectives: (1) to learn about the experiences of older lesbian and bisexual women who currently access home care services in Ontario, (2) to gain an understanding of the impact of sexuality and sexual orientation on home care experiences, and (3) to explore older lesbian and bisexual women’s definitions of quality home care and the factors that enable (or hinder) quality care. This study used a qualitative case study design and was guided by a feminist political economy framework and the critical sexuality and LGBTQ studies literature. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 16 women who have accessed home care services in Ontario in the last five years. These interviews were subsequently transcribed and analyzed using an iterative thematic analysis. The findings of this thesis reveal that attitudes around gender, sexuality and sexual practices affect individuals ’ need for

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
