SCFCdc4ubiquitin ligase regulates synaptonemal complex formation during meiosis
Authors: Zhu Zhihui , Bani Ismail Mohammad , Shinohara Miki , Shinohara Akira
Published: December 2020

Homologous chromosomes pair with each other during meiosis, culminating in the formation of the synaptonemal complex (SC), which is coupled with meiotic recombination. In this study, we showed that a meiosis-specific depletion mutant of a cullin (Cdc53) in the SCF (Skp-Cullin-F-box) ubiquitin ligase, which plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation during mitosis, is deficient in SC formation. However, the mutant is proficient in forming crossovers, indicating the uncoupling of meiotic recombination with SC formation in the mutant. Furthermore, the deletion of thePCH2gene encoding a meiosis-specific AAA+ ATPase suppresses SC-assembly defects induced byCDC53depletion. On the other hand, thepch2 cdc53double mutant is defective in meiotic crossover formation, suggesting the assembly of SC with unrepaired DNA double-strand breaks. A temperature-sensitive mutant ofCDC4, which encodes an F-box protein of SCF, shows meiotic defects similar to those of theCDC53-depletion mutant. These results suggest that SCFCdc4, probably SCFCdc4-dependent protein ubiquitylation, regulates and collaborates with Pch2 in SC assembly and meiotic recombination.

Published: December 2020

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease and this means joint inflammation. The objective of this research was to find out the influence of Cymbopogon oil (Cymbopogon nardus L) on the elderlyâ€™s rheumatoid arthritis pain intensity reduction in Way Panji public health center ofÂ Sidoharjo village in Way Panji sub-district of South Lampung in 2018. This wasÂ pre-experimentalÂ research with one group pretest and posttest design. 67 samples were taken by usingÂ stratified random sampling. Data were collected using interviews and observations by usingÂ a numeric rating scale (NRS)Â for pain intensity. The result showed that before and after Cymbopogon oil administration the NRS were 2,87 and 1,37 respectively. The independent t-test result showed rheumatoid arthritis pain intensity differences before and after Cymbopogon oil administration with a t-value of 24.254 and a significance value of 0.000. This indicated that Cymbopogon oil could be used as one of the alternatives for reducing pain intensity. The conclusion was that there was a significant difference in pain intensity before and after using Cymbopogon oil at rheumatoid arthritis patients in Way Panji public health center of Sidoharjo village in South Lampung (p-value 0,000). The researcher expects this research result can be used as an information source and reference for autonomous intervention for rheumatoid arthritis patients.Â

Published: December 2020

As enteroparasitoses estão associadas ao baixo desenvolvimento econômico, carência de saneamento e falta de higiene. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a prevalência de enteroparasitoses em crianças na Escola Municipal João Martins Peixoto e na Creche Municipal Emília Sulz da comunidade quilombola de Helvécia, Nova Viçosa - Bahia. Foram avaliadas 63 crianças de até 12 anos de idade. As amostras foram analisadas pelo método de Blagg. Os resultados indicaram que 58,7% apresentavam algum parasito, sendo identificados como Giárdia Lamblia (39,1%), Entamoeba Coli (30,4%), Entamoeba nana (19,5%), Iodamoeba butschilii (6,5%), Trichuris trichiura (4,3%). É de grande relevância investigar a prevalência dos enteroparasitos nas comunidades quilombolas para estabelecer estratégias que visem a diminuição da prevalência de indivíduos infectados. A elevada prevalência de parasitos encontrada sugere a necessidade de programas de educação e promoção da saúde voltados à eliminação das fontes de infecção e não somente ao diagnóstico e tratamento dos escolares.

Molar e molecular: uma cartografia
Authors: Martins Caio Felipe Varela
Published: December 2020

Discutimos neste ensaio sobre um mapeamento cartográfico dos conceitos de molar e molecular na obra de Deleuze e Guattari, compreendendo o molar como enquadrador, duro e que busca a unidade, e o molecular como o fugidio, liso, que afirma a multiplicidade e a diferença. Para atingir este objetivo, buscamos geograficamente nos livros dos autores conceitos relacionados às afecções territoriais molar e molecular, traçando assim um caminhopara a nossa leitura deleuzo-guattariana. Conceitos como “rizoma”, “agenciamento” e “Corpo sem Órgãos” estão em contato direto com essas afecções territoriais e delineiam uma topologia dos relevos deleuzo-guattarianos, determinando o que se encontra mais perto ou mais longe, e o que contagia ou não tais conceitos. Buscamos apreender, dentro dos livros, os locais que afetam a própria filosofia e suas implicações na realidade, chamando-nos deafecções territoriais, ilhas de conceitos dentro do arquipélago de uma obra filosófica.
Analyzing La Cuna: New Approaches for Mentoring in Professional Associations
Authors: Hicks Alison
Published: December 2020

This case study explores the implementation of La Cuna, an online mentoring forum in a small, subjectbased professional association, the Seminar for the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM). Designed using the social network software Ning, the forum functioned as an informal learning community for 38 members and was an innovative response to geographical challenges and changing technological skills. Using participation data and a questionnaire to analyze the implementation and development of the hybrid e-mentoring community, this study reveals challenges and benefits that should be considered when managing similar professional development activities. While the forum failed to maintain sustained participation, findings revealed the need to assess professional association member needs regularly and highlighted the importance of continued exploration of online learning tools. Through the description of this project, professional associations and other learning communities will gain insights into the creation and implementation of an online e-mentoring learning community, which will be useful as librarians and groups attempt to meet member professional development needs.

Academic Quality Compliance of Public Secondary Schools in the City Schools Division of San Jose Del Monte Bulacan: Input to Strengthen Institutional Profiling
Authors: Manabat Thelma
Published: December 2020

This study was conducted to determine the level of academic quality compliance of public secondary high schools and its predictors as input to strengthen institutional profiling. The respondents of the study were 167 teachers and school managers in (9) public secondary junior high schools in the City Schools Division of San Jose del Monte Bulacan for the School Year 2017-2018. The descriptive research design was used employing the predictive technique in determining the influence of respondents’ profile, institutions’ profile variables and the management capability factors as the academic quality compliance of the schools. The findings revealed that the schools’ academic quality compliance on leadership and governance is predicted by the NAT (Beta = .431), promotion rate (Beta= 1.170), and enrollment rate (Beta = .747).  The management capability on quality instruction predicts the schools’ academic quality compliance on curriculum and learning (Beta = .971) and the academic quality compliance on accountability and continuous improvement is influenced by the management capability on quality instruction. The promotion rate of the school predicts the academic quality compliance of the school in the area of management of resources (Beta =.671). The hypothesis stating that the respondent's profile, institutional profile, and management capability, singly or combination predict the schools' academic quality compliance is partly sustained.
Promoting Transparency While Protecting Privacy in Open Government in Canada
Authors: Conroy Amy , Scassa Teresa
Published: December 2020

The pressure towards open data and proactive disclosure by government in Canada has created a renewed need to balance the competing values of transparency and privacy. This article addresses issues such as what constitutes personal information and therefore engages privacy concerns, and whether transparency goals are actually met by disclosure in every case. The decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Ontario (Community Safety and Correctional Services) v. Ontario (Information and Privacy Commissioner) addressed these types of issues in the access to information context and so offers some important insights. Finally, this article proposes some guiding principles to assist in striking a balance between transparency and privacy.
Section 67 of the Responsible Energy Development Act: Seeking a Balance Between Independence and Accountability
Authors: Bruno Giorilyn
Published: December 2020

In 2012, the Alberta Government introduced Bill 2, the Responsible Energy Development Act, to replace the Energy Resource Conservation Board and to establish a single energy regulator. Among the most controversial aspects of this Act is section 67, which allows the Minister to give mandatory directions to the regulator. This article looks at the implications of that provision including its effect on board independence, board accountability, and the democratic process as a whole. After evaluating the case law, exploring issues of statutory interpretation, and comparing section 67 with similar provisions in Ontario and British Columbia, the author concludes that section 67 leaves open significant questions about the scope, legal status, and procedural requirements of directives issued under section 67.
Enforcing American Letters of Request: The Fickle Charter Guarantee of Evidentiary Immunity
Authors: Vallianatos Mary Anne
Published: December 2020

This article provides an overview of the US Fifth Amendment and Canadian Charter protections on the right against self-incrimination. It provides an in-depth analysis on the current uneven legal framework in the context of extraterritorial evidence gathering, and the constitutional problem of compelled testimony in cross-border proceedings. The author argues that a partial solution can be crafted within the courts by requiring US protective orders prior to enforcing letters of request. Such an approach should reflect the established Charter principle that compulsion must be coupled with evidentiary immunity.
Private Interests, Public Borders, and the NAFTA's Chapter 11: Lessons from the Mad-Cow Saga
Authors: Clements Ryan , Yahya Moin A.
Published: December 2020

This article provides a detailed overview of the mad-cow saga that took place from 2003 until 2005, and discusses its adverse impact on the economic markets of Canada and the United States in terms of trade synergies and amicable commercial relationships. The authors go on to discuss the remedies and dispute resolution mechanisms offered by the NAFTA, particularly c. 11. Ultimately, the article argues that c. 11 is a useful tool for parties to redress their loss when they have been subjected to unfair treatment by interest groups that pursue litigation in domestic courts. This argument is grounded in a discussion of Leowen v. O’Keefe and the litigation pursued by Ranchers Cattlemen Action Legal Fund.
Free Trade and Cultural Industry: Finding a Way to Sleep in the Same Bed
Authors: Grab Heather
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the consideration, often minimal, paid by international agreements to cultural products such as books, magazines, and films. The author advocates for the inter-connectedness of trade and culture and emphasizes the importance of striking a balance between the two concepts going forward. A discussion of differing conceptions of culture and an overview of how international instruments and international law treat culture and cultural industries is provided.Adopting Canada as a focal point, the article discusses the country’s unique role vis-à-vis its cultural protection strategies and how this has shaped relations between Canada and the United States. Ultimately, the author concludes that in the future, as globalization increases, considering culture alongside trade is crucial so as to protect and promote cultural diversity that compete with increasingly dominant economic forces.
Plying the Trade Freely: Prostitution and European Union Trade Agreements in the Case of Aldona Malgorzata Jany and Others
Authors: French Mikela
Published: December 2020

The international debate over sex trafficking has been mired in the debate over prostitution itself. The European Court of Justice’s recent Jany decision represents a laissez faire reading of European Union trade agreements. However, by employing a model of Governance Feminism, one may explore the realist consequences of the case for sex workers. Application of the model enables one to examine these shifts in sex workers’ bargaining power without deciding whether prostitution is simply work or inherent oppression. The author concludes that such an examination may lead to possibilities for prostitutes to ply both international borders and their trade freely.
Forging Alberta's Constitutional Framework, Richard Connors and John M. Law, eds., and The Alberta Supreme Court at 100: History and Authority, Jonathan Swainger, Ed.
Authors: Muir James W.
Published: December 2020

In a recent issue I raised the question of whether Canada has developed a distinctive law of its own. With two recent publications it is possible to focus that question more narrowly and ask if there is such a thing as a distinctive Albertan law that has developed over the twentieth century. In the introduction to their book Forging Alberta's Constitutional Framework (Forging), Richard Connors and John Law declare that "Alberta has, in part, forged its own Constitution and its place within Canada's Constitution." This statement perfectly balances the issue: on the one hand, Alberta has its own Constitution that it has made itself; on the other hand, it exists as an entity within the wider Canadian constitutional framework. In his introduction to The Alberta Supreme Court at 100: History and Authority, Jonathan Swainger strikes a similar balance: "In those areas where the Court did act, the weight of evidence suggests that while some aspects of Alberta's jurisprudential path have been creative and forward looking, in others they were less inclined to strike out in new directions.... And if the Court's jurisprudence in a given area might appear tentative or tightly prescribed, in others we find indications of a distinctive "made in Alberta" flavour that did not necessarily tread expected paths."Reading these books introduces us to many interesting parts of Alberta's legal past, but in the end these sometimes unique events do not lead us to conclude that there is much distinct about the law in Alberta, whether in its constitutional framework or in its courts.
Strategies for Risk Management and Corporate Social Responsibility for Oil and Gas Companies in Emerging Markets
Authors: Stimpson Stephanie , Todesco Jay , Maginley Amy
Published: December 2020

Oil and gas companies are constantly in search of opportunities to expand their resource base and create value. Emerging markets can provide companies with opportunities for significant rewards, especially in regions where oil and gas resources may be underdeveloped and where new technologies have not yet been exploited. However, emerging markets also pose numerous challenges and risks, which can potentially lead to significant legal and reputational damage. This article explores key legal risk areas for oil and gas companies in emerging markets and best practices for managing those risks and operating in a socially responsible way, recognizing that risk management centers around controlled and reasoned decision-making, not eliminating risk. The article is intended to provide a high-level overview of the key legal risk areas and mitigation strategies to serve as a guide for directors and management teams operating in these challenging regions as opposed to providing a comprehensive discussion on any particular risk area.

Principles of Kyoto and Emissions Trading Systems: A Primer for Energy Lawyers
Authors: Evans Brian
Published: December 2020

The Kyoto Protocol defines new emissions standards to be met by the international community in respect of greenhouse gases, the aim of which is to curb the present trend of adverse climate change. The specific responses of ratifying governments to bring about the desired changes will significantly impact citizenry and industry alike.

This article addresses the issues surrounding emissions trading systems as market-based policy instruments that may ultimately contribute to Canada s legislative response to the Kyoto standards. Central to this question is the need to familiarize legal practitioners with the implications of climate change and the range of policy responses available to government in the context of emissions trading systems. The author examines responses open to the governments of Canada and Alberta through a review of the international reaction to climate change, the role of emissions trading in environmental regulation generally and the anticipated use of emissions trading to comply with the Kyoto Protocol in the future. The author presents an in-depth analysis of the principles underlying the design of domestic emissions trading systems, of the legislative authority surrounding their implementation and of the need for affected businesses to strategically plan for ensuing changes. The author concludes that while Canada has not yet adopted a policy on domestic emissions trading systems in respect of the Kyoto Protocol, the potential impact of emission standards on domestic sources is pronounced, meriting an inspection of the design features that may form a pan of such trading schemes.
Clare’s Legacy Travels to Alberta: Undesired Consequences and Repercussions of Bill 17
Authors: Robinson Jenna
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the proposed legislation entitled “Clare’s Law” which will be implemented in Alberta in June of 2020. Clare’s Law has been used as a response to the alarming reported rates of domestic violence around the world. Clare Wood was a woman who was killed by her ex-partner; she contacted the police numerous times over an extended period of time but was never assisted. Clare’s Law provides individuals with the right to know and the right to ask. This will allow concerned individuals to inquire about the criminal records of one’s partner. Furthermore, it requires emergency responders to inform individuals of one’s criminal history if it pertains to domestic violence. Premier Jason Kenney is addressing the alarming reported rates of domestic violence by enacting Clare’s Law in Alberta. This paper explores the benefits and concerns surrounding the implementation of such legislation. Clare’s Law may provide individuals with awareness of their partners criminal history regarding domestic violence, however this paper’s main argument is that Clare’s Law will not be effective and will cause more harm than good. The Law does not increase services, shelters or support for victims of violence. Furthermore, it may provoke victim blaming and it assumes accountability by police services and judicial systems that have continually failed victims. This paper is significant due to the significant rate of domestic violence in Alberta. This paper states that incidences of domestic violence will not improve because of Clare’s Law and could make situations worse for victims of domestic violence.
Discourses of Blame: An Analysis of Media Coverage in the Robert Pickton Case
Authors: Dusome Jori
Published: December 2020

When most Canadians consume their news media, they don't often consider the underlying narratives of colonialism, racism, and classism that can be spread through media representations of marginalized peoples. Such is the case with Indigenous women in Canada, who die violently at five times the rate of other Canadian women, but are given three and a half times less coverage in the media than white women for similar cases. News media articles covering Indigenous women's deaths are also less in-depth and less likely to make the front page. Prior to the apprehension of Robert “Willy” Pickton in 2002, media coverage of the dozens of missing women on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside was minimal, and often portrayed the women as the harbingers of their own misfortune. The Vancouver Police Department also failed to take action, citing the women’s “transient lifestyles” as reason to believe they would return soon. However, even after widespread recognition of the issue began, media coverage continued to attribute a level of “blameworthiness” to the missing and murdered by regularly engaging with tropes and stereotypes that individualized the acts of violence against them. In this paper, I look to explore that phenomenon by asking how the women of the Downtown Eastside are named as culpable or blameworthy in the violence enacted against them, as evidenced in the media coverage of the Robert Pickton case. My analysis found that while an identifiable killer like Pickton provided the news media a temporary cause for the women’s deaths, sex-working and drug using women maintained blame in the public eye both during and long after the case, due in equal parts to their use of drugs, their status as sex workers, and their proximity to “tainted” geographical regions like the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. As evidenced by this research, Indigenous women are continually and systemically blamed for the violence enacted against them.

Hegemonic Masculinity and Subjugated Femininity: Deconstructing the Binary
Authors: Shin Stephanie
Published: December 2020

Many social theories, particularly in the field of gender studies, posit that masculinity is hegemonic, whilst femininity is subjugated. Such theories lead audiences to believe that femininity is always lesser than masculinity, lacking hegemonic power. However, whilst even the most powerful of femininities, such as normative white femininity, will never occupy a hegemonic apex, the gender hierarchy certainly privileges this femininity over not only others, but also alternative forms of masculinity, which exist outside of the hegemonic realm. As such, while it can be said that femininity is not hegemonic, to say that femininity does not have hegemonic features would be irresponsible, especially when one considers intersectionality.
Why Nicorandil is not Considered to be the First-line Antianginal Drug

According to the results of several short-term randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nicorandil is not inferior in its antianginal efficacy to beta-blockers (BB), calcium channel blockers (CCB) and long-acting nitrates (LAN). At the same time, in some short-term RCTs, as well as in the long-term RCT IONA (2002), it was shown that antianginal efficacy of nicorandil as monotherapy or in combination with other antianginal drugs did not differ from placebo. Ability of nicorandil to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, demonstrated in the RCT IONA, requires confirmation in a long-term trial with a stronger primary endpoint and concomitant treatment that would meet the current guidelines for the management of patients with chronic coronary syndromes. In this regard, and also taking into account the proven ability of nicorandil to cause gastrointestinal ulcerations, European experts currently consider nicorandil as a drug that is inferior in priority of choice to the first-line antianginal drugs (BB, CCB) and, in some cases, to the second-line drugs (LAN, ivabradine, ranolazine, trimetazidine).

Objective: Atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) occurs when there is misalignment of the atlantoaxial joint. Several etiologies confer increased risk of AAS in children, including neck trauma, inflammation, infection, or inherent ligamentous laxity of the cervical spine. Methods: A single-center, retrospective case review was performed. Thirty-four patients with an ICD-10 diagnosis of S13.1 were identified. Demographics and clinical data were reviewed for etiology, imaging techniques, treatment, and clinical outcome. Results: Out of thirty-four patients, twenty-two suffered cervical spine trauma, seven presented with Grisel’s Syndrome, four presented with ligamentous laxity, and one had an unrecognizable etiology. Most diagnoses of cervical spine subluxation and/or instability were detected on computerized tomography (CT), while radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were largely performed for follow-up monitoring. Six patients underwent cervical spine fusion, five had halo traction, twelve wore a hard and/or soft collar without having surgery or halo traction, and eight were referred to physical therapy without other interventions. Conclusion: Pediatric patients with atlantoaxial subluxation may benefit from limited 3D CT scans of the upper cervical spine for accurate diagnosis. Conservative treatment with hard cervical collar and immobilization after reduction may be attempted, but halo traction and halo vest immobilization may be necessary. If non-operative treatment fails, cervical spine internal reduction and fixation may be necessary to maintain normal C1-C2 alignment.
