Solidarity and Suppression: The Power Struggle Between Labour and the State in Canada, 1914-24
Authors: Cramer Alexander
Published: July 2024

During and after the First World War, labour groups in Canada mobilized to ameliorate their position as members of the working class. In their struggle to secure better hours, improved working conditions, and the right to collective bargaining, union activists resorted to increasingly radical measures to achieve their goals. These actions, however, were soon met with swift opposition from the state. Through restrictions on unions, crackdowns on strikes, and surveillance of their activities, labour faced formidable opposition from the economic and security apparatus of the state in the immediate postwar years. Since then, the struggle between workers and the state has called into question the collective solidarity of the Canadian labour movement. To answer that question, this article comparatively evaluates the strength of the labour movement to the strength of the state in Canada from 1914 to 1924. In so doing, it demonstrates that while the state was successful in its efforts to suppress labour, the extremity of this reaction testifies to the power that labour ultimately commanded at this time.
Race, Place, and Religion: African American Missionaries in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Hicks Kevin D.
Published: July 2024

This paper attempts to provide a more complete analysis of the various conceptions of race and identity held by African American missionaries working in Africa during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While some attention has been paid to African American missionaries working in Africa at this time, little has been written about how their different theological beliefs impacted their conceptions of race and identity as it relates to the local African populations they encountered. It can be determined that there were distinct links between the different theological beliefs held by African American missionaries working in Africa at this time and their conceptions of race. For example, evangelical African American missionaries more often associated themselves with a Pan-African identity than non-evangelical ones. Alongside this, their theological understandings of the Back-to-Africa Movement were quite different depending on where they worked in Africa and it impacted how they viewed themselves in association with the local African populations they encountered. Finally, different conceptions of race and identity manifested themselves along eschatological lines. Although these missionaries’ conceptions of race have already been analyzed, the connection to their theological beliefs and how it influenced their conceptions of race is relatively unexplored.

Published: July 2024

O texto em tela discute acerca da Oficina como ferramenta didática e possibilitadora de uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais no campo da formação docente. Nosso estudo se caracteriza como um relato de experiência, cuja intenção é discorrer sobre o desenvolvimento da Oficina ministrada no âmbito da lei 10.639/03 que torna obrigatório o ensino de História e cultura afro-brasileira e africana nos estabelecimentos de ensino públicos e privados. Decorridos 21 anos desse importante marco legal, nossas reflexões pretendem evidenciar as potencialidades desta atividade como espaço educativo e fomentador de aprendizagens, de troca de saberes e também de transgressão epistemológica. Intitulada “Prática pedagógica: o preconceito silenciado”, a Oficina foi resultado de uma proposta prática do componente curricular Seminários Temáticos (STs) de um curso de Especialização em Educação e Relações étnico-raciais de uma Universidade baiana. Os resultados da aplicabilidade da Oficina demonstram a necessidade de pautar a discussão no âmbito da formação de professores, assim como a urgência em tensionar o debate na perspectiva de uma efetiva educação antirracista no contexto educacional.

La hospitalización a domicilio (HaD) es una modalidad asistencial segura y eficaz para múltiples patologías, entre las que destacan infecciones que precisan antibioterapia endovenosa prolongada. El caso expuesto trata de una paciente con un ingreso hospitalario prolongado por una infección protésica endovascular con múltiples complicaciones y la implicación de microorganismos multiresistentes para los que no había alternativa antibiótica oral. Tras un ingreso en planta de Cirugía Vascular de 6 meses se trasladó a Hospitalización a Domicilio para completar TADE. En dicho ingreso se continuó con la pauta antibiótica prescrita produciéndose varias complicaciones que requirieron ajuste del tratamiento, entre ellas el cambio de antibioterapia a Meropenem iv que se administró en régimen de auto-TADE. Tras 7 meses de ingreso en HaD la paciente fue dada de alta con éxito, pudiéndose demostrar los beneficios que tiene esta alternativa asistencial en casos como el expuesto.

Published: July 2024

Objective. Type 2 diabetes and glucose metabolism have previously been linked to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, findings on the relation of glucose metabolism with amyloid and tau pathology later in life remain unclear.

Research Design and Methods. We included 288 participants (mean age= 43.1, SD=10.7, range 20-70) without dementia from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), who had available measures of glucose metabolism (i.e., one-time fasting plasma glucose and insulin) and PET measures of amyloid and/or tau 14 years later. We performed linear regression analyses to test associations of plasma glucose (continuously and categorically; elevated defined as >100mg/dl), plasma insulin, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) with amyloid or tau load on PET. When significant, we explored whether age, sex, and APOE ε4 allele carriership (AD genetic risk) modified these associations.

Results. Our findings indicated that elevated plasma glucose was associated with greater tau load 14 years later (B[95%CI]=0.03 [0.01 – 0.05], p=0.024 after false discovery rate (FDR) correction) but not amyloid. APOE ε4 carriership modified this association (B[95%CI]: -0.08 [-0.12 – -0.03], p=0.001), indicating that the association was only present in APOE ε4 non-carriers (n=225). Plasma insulin and HOMA-IR were not associated with amyloid or tau load 14 years later after FDR correction.

Conclusions. Our findings suggest that glucose metabolism is associated with increased future tau but not amyloid load. This provides relevant knowledge for prevention strategies and prognostics to improve healthcare.
The Role of Melatonin and Matrix Metalloproteinases in Breast Cancer Pathogenesis: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: A Tavartkiladze
Published: July 2024

Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with molecular subtypes including Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), HER2/neu-positive, Luminal Type A, and Luminal Type B, each with unique clinical behaviors and therapeutic responses. This study investigates the role of melatonin, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL6 and TNF-alpha), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes in breast cancer pathogenesis. Methods: Over three years, 171 breast cancer patients were studied. Blood and urine samples were collected to measure melatonin, MMPs, IL-6, TNF-alpha, LDH-1, and LDH-5 levels. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were isolated using density gradient centrifugation and immunomagnetic separation. Melatonin receptor expression on CTCs was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. Plasma concentrations of melatonin were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and MMPs, IL-6, TNF-alpha, LDH isoenzymes were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and electrophoretic methods. Results: The expression of melatonin receptors was lowest in TNBC patients, higher in HER2/neu-positive and ER/PRnegative patients, and highest in Luminal Type A and B patients. TNBC patients exhibited elevated LDH-1 and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), with significantly decreased melatonin levels. HER2/neu-positive patients showed elevated LDH5 and moderate decreases in melatonin. Luminal Type B and A patients had varying degrees of biomarker elevation and melatonin receptor expression. Discussion: The findings suggest a correlation between reduced melatonin signaling and aggressive breast cancer phenotypes, particularly TNBC. Elevated MMPs and pro-inflammatory cytokines underscore the role of inflammation and ECM degradation in cancer progression. Melatonin’s potential inhibitory effects on these pathways highlight its therapeutic promise. The combined assessment of melatonin, MMPs, cytokines, and LDH could guide personalized treatment strategies. Conclusion: This study underscores melatonin’s multifaceted role in breast cancer pathogenesis. Melatonin receptor expression, along with MMP, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and LDH levels, provides a detailed molecular landscape of breast cancer subtypes. Integrating melatonin supplementation into therapeutic regimens holds promise for improving outcomes, particularly inaggressive subtypes like TNBC. Further research and clinical trials are essential to validate these findings and develop effective melatonin-based therapies.

Published: July 2024

The experiment was conducted during March, 2018 to March, 2020 at Research Farm of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and a few villages in Ludhiana district of Punjab, India to standardize the application of iron (Fe) in eucalyptus plantations varying from one to five years of age to eradicate Fe deficiency in these plantations. The treatments (g plant-1) consisted of plants without Fe application, 100 g S+100 g FeSO4.7H2O, 200 g S+200 g FeSO4.7H2O, 300 g S+300 g FeSO4.7H2O, 50 g Fe EDTA (iron chelate), 100 g Fe EDTA, 200 g Fe EDTA, 300 g Fe EDTA and 400 g Fe EDTA. The diameter at breast height (DBH) and height of plants were measured at the time of fertilizer application and one year after application. The DBH and height one year after application improved over increase in control by 6.86 and 7.13% respectively in first year plants with 50 g plant-1, 8.58 and 10.16% respectively in second year plants and 9.41 and 10.2% respectively in third year plants with 100 g plant-1, and 10.85 and 11.21% respectively in fourth year plants and 10.27 and 11.87% respectively in fifth year plants with 200 g plant-1 Fe EDTA alongwith correction of Fe deficiency completely. Therefore, the deficiency of Fe can be corrected by application of 50 g plant-1 Fe EDTA to first year plantations, 100 g plant-1 Fe EDTA to second and third year plantations and 200 g plant-1 Fe EDTA to fourth and fifth year plantations of eucalyptus.

Iʿjāz of the Qurʿān for Using the Words Gold, Silver and Not Money
Authors: Belabes Abderrazak
Published: July 2024

The production of knowledge on iʿjāz in economy is strongly influenced by the literature on scientific miracles of the Qurʿān. The interpretation of the verses of the Qurʿān pertaining to maʿāsh comes up against the binary logic aimed at constructing a scientific identity by summoning key concepts from mainstream economic thought. This article is based on philology as an art of reading well to shed light on the iʿjāz of the Qurʿān through the use of the words gold and silver and not that of money. It is structured around multidisciplinary approach and a qualitative analysis through the meanings in reference to the literature on the secrets of eloquence and evidence of the inimitability of the Qurʿān. The results showed that the iʿjāz in the use of the words gold and silver invites to live in the world of rizq, as an umwelt or 風土 fūdo. This mode of existence provides resilience against voluntary servitude to the system of monetary creation ex nihilo by the interest loan granted by commercial banks. Such particular way is a thematic interpretation of the verses relating to the means to acquit the rights of the Creator and those of the creatures. It converges like Hénon attractor as a chaotic fractal set with research in history, anthropology and numismatics which does not use the word money.

Analysis of Civil-Military Relations of Ghana from 1957 to 2022
Authors: Norman Ishmael D.
Published: July 2024

The Constitutional basis of the Civil-Military Relations pertaining to Ghana emerged out of its history with military interventions. Given the narrative of Ghana’s civil-military relations and those of some of the nations in Sub-Saharan Africa, it may be appropriate not to attribute the constitutional approach underlying the civil-military design in Ghana to the “Concordance” or “Separation” model. Those models probably provide realistic civil-military approaches for Western industrialized nations with huge standing armies, militias, and good governance systems. Perhaps the “Constitutional” model may be considered as the primary denominator for analysis of the legal framework on Civil-Military Relations in Ghana and in Sub-Saharan Africa, despite the occasional similarities in “Separation” or “Concordance” theory in those nations.

Published: July 2024

Mammary gland tumors are the most common neoplasms in female intact dogs and share some biological and histopathological aspects with those in women with breast cancer, making them a good model in comparative oncology. Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in several plants, and some studies have indicated that it acts in the neoplastic process as an anticancer drug. Viscum album is a hemiparasitic plant widely used as an adjuvant treatment for cancer in some countries. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the antitumor potential of resveratrol and homeopathic Viscum album together and separately using two previously characterized canine mammary tumor cell lines (UNESP-CM9 and UNESP-CM60). The cell viability test (MTT) was performed, which revealed an IC50 of 3.11 μl/100 ml for UNESP-CM9 and 2.993 μl/100 ml for UNESP-CM60 for Viscum album, and for resveratrol, the IC50 was 281.6 μM for UNESP-CM9 and 105.5 μM for UNESP-CM60. The combination of both natural compounds led to tumor cell death at a lower IC50. The cell migration assay demonstrated an increase in cell migration time with both treatments. UNESP-CM9 closed 35.66% of the wounds in the control group and 15.51% of the wounds in the viscum group, while UNESP-CM60 closed 39.46% of the wounds in the control group and 19.95% of the wounds in the viscum group and 2.41% of the wounds in the resveratrol group. Thus, these two compounds have antitumor potential, making them possible alternatives to conventional treatments.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma with lung and kidney metastases in a hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus)

Published: July 2024

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a common malignant tumor of epithelial cells in dogs. This tumor metastasizes slowly and primarily affects the gingiva. Despite its importance, few studies document this cancer in wild canids. A young adult female hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus) kept in captivity at Associação Mata Ciliar (Jundiaí, SP, Brazil) exhibited clinical signs such as weakness, prostration, and severe oral bleeding. After anesthetizing the animal, a reddish, friable verrucous formation was observed on the upper and lower lip, as well as on the maxillary and mandibular gingiva on the right side of the mouth, extending towards the bony palate. A biopsy of this mass was performed, followed by histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation. Histopathology indicated an atypical squamous proliferation with inflammatory features suggestive of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry through the positive expression of antibodies AE1AE3, p63, and CK14. The proliferation marker ki67 was used to assess the aggressiveness and malignancy of the tumor, and it was found in approximately 80% of the neoplastic cells. Because of the poor prognosis, the hoary fox was euthanized, and a necropsy was performed. Histopathological analysis of the tissues revealed lung metastasis, suppurative bronchopneumonia, and renal metastasis associated with neutrophilic interstitial nephritis and tubular necrosis. The present report describes this type of neoplasm for the first time in a hoary fox and one of the few observed in wild canids. The scarcity of research on neoplasm incidence in wild canids in Brazil emphasizes the need for further investigations to understand tumor development in these species better
Cranio-Facial Changes the in Patients with Huntington Disease, A Review Article

Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare autosomal dominant sever and usually fatal chronic neurodegenerative illness with prevalence of 5.96 to 13.7 per 100000. The primary pathology is the precipitation of huntingtin protein in the neurons due to the presence of multiple CAG repeat in the N terminal of the HTT gene on the short arm of chromosome 4. Classically this is well known to primarily affect the caudate nucleus the largest of the basal ganglia. This manifests radiologically by shrinkage of the caudate nucleus with secondary dilatation of ventricular system. This however cannot explain the fact that the HD patients show a multitude of psychiatric and cognitive symptoms in addition to chorea. But it may be explained by the recent studies that show the basal nuclei are involved in limbic and emotional control in addition to their motor function. In order to review evidence of structural basal ganglia changes and their relation to clinical manifestations in patients with HD we conducted a web based search for published literature in the topic using pubmed and google scholar. The review of the literature showed that the initial changes in HD happen in the caudate nucleus. Other parts of the striatum such as the putamen and globus pallidus are also affected, particularly following disease progression, with additional proof of thalamic changes. Such structural changes, in the striatum, for example, have been associated with specific cognitive deficits including attention, working memory and executive functions. Interestingly studies reported that MRIs are able to detect these changes long before clinical manifestation of HD. We concluded that most of the components of the basal ganglia are reduced in size in HD. This volume reduction is evident years before the onset of the disease. The magnitude of volume reduction is directly related to the severity of the disease. These changes may be used to predict the onset and prognosis of disease and to monitor the response to treatment.

Published: July 2024

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is the phenomenon where a medication loses its efficacy in inhibiting bacterial growth. Bacteria develop resistance and proliferate in the presence of therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics. Bacteria that continue to reproduce in the presence of antibiotics are referred to as resistant bacteria. The occurrence of antibiotic resistance was noted quickly following the introduction of novel antibacterial agents. Antibiotic resistance can arise by natural selection, when bacteria are endowed by nature with varying degrees of inherent low-level resistance. Aim: To compare the bacterial resistance toward selective antimicrobial agents between two different occasions with two years interval. Objectives: To assess antibacterial resistance toward certain antibacterial agents in specified types of infections, to assess antibacterial resistance toward certain antibacterial agents in the same specified types of infections after two years and compare the extent of antibacterial resistance during this period for the demographic population of interest. Design and Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective study, Data of (195) patients in 2018 and of (315) patients in 2020 were taken, the antimicrobial resistance was considered by the culture and sensitivity tests. Results: There is significant decrease in the percentage of resistance of the Pseudomonas Aeruginosa against vancomycin in 2020 compared to the cases taken in 2018 (P < 0.05). there is significant increase in the percentage of resistance of the Streptococcus species against vancomycin in 2020 (P < 0.05), against azithromycin (P < 0.05) and against ampicillin (P < 0.05) compared to the cases taken in 2018. Conclusions: The current investigation reveals a significant level of antibacterial resistance among the agents examined, as evidenced by their resistance to antibacterial drugs from several pharmacological categories. The rate of resistance has significantly increased due to a rapid surge in resistance within a relatively little timeframe.

Clothes dryers are now widely used to help with laundry. During the rainy season, drying clothes outside is impractical. Furthermore, clothing may become contaminated with pollution. The rotating drum dryer is the most widely used model for utilizing centrifugal force. However, there are some disadvantages, such as wrinkled clothes from sun drying. The purpose of this study was to determine heat transfer in a clothes dryer with a drying cabinet type. The clothes to be dried are hung on a rack and blown dry with hot air. Convection will reduce the amount of water in the clothes. The hot air inlet velocity was varied between 3m/s, 4m/s, and 5m/s for this study. Changes in clothing surface temperature, calorific value, and efficiency were measured. The findings indicated that the air entering the drying cabinet must be moving at a slow speed. As a result, the incoming air has more time to transfer heat and contains more energy.

Internal flows in pipes are studied in greater depth and comprehensiveness in research. The computation done by using RANS equation. In particular, this study uses two equations turbulence model which is k-ε turbulence model. Mesh with 2×106 element is used because it is a mesh with lowest error. The research focuses on the effect of the curvature ratio (Rc) at the bend on changes in fluid flow characteristics. The Rc variations chosen in this study were 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03. The pipe diameter is 0.01 m, resulting in Rc/D=1, Rc/D=2, and Rc/D=3. At Rc/D=1, the maximum fluid flow velocity is in an area closer to the inner core than the outer core. The fluid velocity distribution is also more even if Rc/D=1 is enlarged. The fluid flow separation appears in the pipe with Rc/D=1, but the fluid flow separation in Rc/D=2 and Rc/D=3 is not visible. The separation is at α=75.96º, while the reattachment location is at x/D=0.014.

The study of the effect of low temperature quenching cooling media on the value of toughness and types of fractures in AISI 1045 steel aims to determine the mechanical properties of increasing the value of toughness and ductility in steel. AISI 1045 steel is heated at a temperature of 850°C held for 60 minutes and then quenched quickly to a low temperature. The medium used is water. This tempering process can increase the impact energy. The impac energy value obtained at a temperature of 350°C is 18,33 Joule. Then at a temperature of 450°C it increases by 80 Joule, after that it increases again at a temperature of 550°C which is 121,33 Joule, the value increases higher at a tempering temperature of 650°C by 135,67  Joule. Observation of the type of fault shows that the higher the temperature the more ductile it can be seen from the results of the uneven and fibrous surface. Impact  energy is influenced by variations in tempering temperature. When the tempering temperature is increased, the impact energi also increase. Keywords: AISI 1045 Steel, Quenching, Tempering, Impact Energy, Types of Fractures

Writing is a skill that is necessary for success in the academic world. Writing is a necessary activity in education that fosters significant growth in both teaching and learning. However, good writing requires a variety of skills, including a wide vocabulary, the capacity for contextual understanding, analytical strength, the capacity for inference, the capacity for critical thought, and much more. This skill is unquestionably difficult to acquire, especially when writing in English, which naturally puts more pressure and anxiety on students. This study was designed to investigate the types and levels of writing anxiety experienced by EFL students taking an academic writing course at an English department at a university in Jambi, regardless of their gender. The instrument of this study was a close-ended questionnaire that was adopted from Cheng (2004). It consists of 22 statements about different types of anxiety (cognitive, somatic, and avoidance behavior). There were 225 students who participated in the study. Majority of them 82.2% (185 students) were female and only 17.8% (40 students) were male. The results of the study indicated that there are differences in the level of anxiety experienced by male and female students. The highest score of the two genders is in the somatic anxiety type; namely, women have a mean score of 3.36 and men have a mean score of 3.07. Although both have high levels, there is a slight difference in numbers, so women experience higher levels of anxiety than men, and the type of anxiety they have is somatic anxiety.
