Authors: Ragab S. , Montaser B. , El-Ashmawy N. , El-Hawy M.
Published: April 2021

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy, with a survival rate of 80%. Major complications of leukemia include osteoporosis that requires both a clinically significant fracture history and low bone mineral density (BMD). The present study aims to assess BMD among acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients and survivors using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and serum insulin growth factor binding protein 3. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the Menoufia University, Egypt. Thirty patients with ALL and thirty survivors who were diagnosed with ALL but completely recovered were enrolled in this study. Sex and age matched normal controls while full history was taken. Patients and survivors were examined for anthropometric measurement. Laboratory including serum IGFBP3and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry was done for all. It has been found out that patients and survivors showed a markedly lower BMD than normal population but no history of fracture was found in survivors. In this study, the prevalence of low BMD is 26/30 (86.6%) patients and 25/30 (83.3%) survivors. Also, there was a statistically significant decrease of DEXA scan measures in patients and survivors groups than the control group with a statistically significant decrease in both BMD and Z- score measures in patients and survivors groups than control group. Patients and long-term survivors of childhood ALL are at risk for morbidity associated with low BMD. They may benefit from interventions to optimize bone health as they age.

Perceptions of Masculinity among Male Varsity Rugby Players at Queen’s
Authors: Sheasgreen Clare
Published: April 2021

Existing literature on the topic of sport and masculinity has suggested that male varsity athletes model more hegemonic masculine norms (Messner, 2002). In fact, athletic participation has been found to be a predictor of misogynistic and homophobic attitudes (Steinfeldt et al., 2011). It has been argued that these attitudes are further enforced by the fact that the social power possessed by male athletes receives institutional support, which can in turn influence the social and sexual cultures on university campuses (Sanday, 2007). Contact team sports have a reputation for reinforcing hegemonic masculinity more than other sports do (Messner, 2002). Rugby is a particularly aggressive and male-dominated sport (Maxwell & Visek, 2009), however the majority of studies on varsity athletics and masculinity use data from American colleges and focus on contact sports that are historically more prominent in North America such as football and hockey (Steinfeldt et al., 2011; Messner, 2002; Boeringer, 1996). I hope to add to the existing body of research by focusing exclusively on rugby at a Canadian University. To do so, I will conduct interviews with 5 men who are current players on the Queen’s varsity rugby team. I will perform a content analysis on the transcripts of the interviews to assess how male varsity rugby players at Queen’s University understand and express masculinity. I intend to distribute my findings to Queen’s athletic administrators and rugby coaching staff. The findings may contribute to leadership training that addresses gender issues in athletics at Queen’s.
Politics are the Sport of the Student: How Social Media has Changed the Riot Dynamic
Authors: Duchaine Isabelle
Published: April 2021

For engineering students in Colombia, law students in Mexico, and philosophy students in Brazil, scholarship took a backseat to political activism in the 1960s. This presentation examines why students were such a force within Latin American history during the period from 1958-1970. In 15 minutes, it provides an accessible, educational, and entertaining deconstruction of the origins of the Latin American student movement. I argue that this period represents the ‘tipping point’ of activism within Latin American Universities; one in which the sport of politics long practiced within institutions breached the walls of the ivory tower. In a quarter of an hour, the origins of this radicalism are presented:o Demographics (higher enrolment figures, diversifying student experiences, broadening academic curriculum into the humanities and social sciences)o Long-standing socio-cultural student respect (the position of students as ‘agents of change’, student co-governance of academic institutions)o Idealism (rejection of typical political process, ‘fetishization’ of counter-cultural’)all set against the backdrop of Cold War tensions. Organized against perceptions of government corruption, neo-liberalization and American interventionism, students protested, joined guerrilla groups, forced strikes, and – in the case of Mexico – were eventually massacred by the state. Latin American students broadened the definition of a university from a house of scholarship to a training ground for citizenry, with a directive to “provide leaders for nation-building.” The audience will be encouraged to ask questions and will leave with broader understandings of the role of students and universities in Latin America and beyond.
Far from the Madding Cloud: How Social Media Has Changed the Riot Dynamic
Authors: Bannister Sarah
Published: April 2021

This paper aims to shed light on the motivations of the students involved in the 2008 Queen’s Homecoming party riot by first reviewing relevant sociological literature, and in doing so defining the term “party riot”, the paper will then analyze the news media coverage of the events, and in comparing the two discuss the factors that influenced these events. Factors explored include: tensions with the larger Kingston community, student unfamiliarity with and distrust of the police, police policies regarding crowd management and dispersal, alcohol consumption, geographical location, university administration policies, and the role of social media and communication technologies. The paper concludes with development of the implications on Homecoming events in the future.
Investigating Digital (Re)Mediation in the Performing Arts
Authors: On Dylan
Published: April 2021

As digital technology progresses, it increasingly mediates human interaction. Simple discussion has shifted from occurring only in person to being mediated by telephone, texting, video calling, Twitter, Facebook and a myriad of other technologies and services. Likewise, theatre has been undergoing a similar shift from an art form that only occurs 'in person' to one in which technology often mediates presence. In his book Liveness, Philip Auslander traces the roots of digital mediation back to the advent of television and the resulting cycle of reinterpretation, or remediation as it is termed by Bolter and Grusin, of different art mediums within one another. Innovative Canadian artists Robert Lepage and Kim Collier are currently engaging in the remediation of traditional art mediums on the stage by taking a distinctly cinematic approach to theatre. This study intends to evaluate the remediation of these mediums both in the theatre and in live performances such as sporting events. It will then consider current trends in integrating interactive ‘new’ media into live and pre-recorded events, and how these ‘new’ media may already be manifesting themselves elsewhere via remediation. This discussion will give special consideration to immersive theatre, in which audiences are free to navigate theatrical space autonomously and observe as they wish. Key questions to be considered include: What are the tools of mediation, and what are their effects? How might digital (re)mediation be reinventing the way we tell and receive stories in the theatre? In what ways can the theatre further reinterpret ‘new’ interactive media?
The Effects of Plasticizers on Frog Malformation and the Hormone Axis
Authors: Lam Mason
Published: April 2021

Frogs are particularly vulnerable to the effects of chemical pollutants due to their high sensitivity to the environment. One class of chemical that may endanger frogs are the phthalate esters, which are commonly used as plasticizers in plastic manufacturing to impart flexibility to vinyl products. Because of this, phthalates are widely produced and distributed. However, since they are not covalently bound to the plastic matrix, phthalates tend to leach into surrounding environments. Phthalate contamination has been ubiquitously detected in aquatic environments, so it is important to understand its effects. This study analysed the lethal and sub-lethal effects of diisoheptyl phthalate (DIHepP) and diisononyl phthalate (DINP), two phthalates that are currently under assessment by Environment Canada due to the lack of data on their effects. To test this, embryos of the frog Silurana tropicalis were exposed to varying concentrations of both phthalates during early embryonic development. Preliminary data suggests that neither DIHepP nor DINP affect embryo mortality at concentrations up to 30 ppm and 10 ppm, respectively. To investigate the effect of these phthalates on development, embryos have been scored for malformations. Sub-lethal effects have been determined by quantifying the expression of hormone axis genes in exposed embryos. Through these observations, both system-wide and cellular effects of these phthalates have been elucidated. Overall, this study provides valuable insight on the effects of DIHepP and DINP to aid in the assessment of the risk that these compounds may pose to frogs.
Arabic Linguistic Identity and the Tribal Confederacy of the Ghassan on the Eve of the Islamic Conquests
Authors: Patrick Reagan
Published: April 2021

In 528/9 AD, al-Harith, the leader of a tribal confederation known as the Ghassan, was recognized as Rome’s ally on the eastern frontier. This alliance established the Ghassan, despite following a heretical Christian sect, as the principal authority in what is modern-day Syria and Jordan. This alliance also secured the Ghassan’s right to collect taxes independently and to mobilize against the Empire’s enemies. Moreover, Ghassanid leaders received distinguished epithets which had previously been reserved largely for the Roman aristocracy. A recently discovered mosaic in northern Jordan suggests that these titles were being used by the Ghassan not in isolation but as stratified ranks for their ruling class. Furthermore, this mosaic, along with significant epigraphic evidence, suggests that the Ghassan spoke Arabic well before the Islamic conquests, despite many scholars’ belief that the Ghassan spoke Christian Palestinian Aramaic. Although it is difficult to define an Arab identity prior to the Islamic conquests, the Arabs of South Arabia would have shared at least a common language with the Ghassan to the North. Additionally, it cannot be doubted that the Ghassan would have had direct contact with Muhammad’s ancestors through trade routes such as Wadi Sirhan. Early adherents to Islam may have seen this Arab group in the North, which had been able to achieve a semi-autonomous existence on the Roman frontier, despite neither following the orthodox faith nor being native speakers of Greek or Latin, as a potential model for a new Arab polity.
A Regime Paralyzed: An Exploration of Current Climate Politics and the Urgent Need for Reform
Authors: Owen Brenna
Published: April 2021

The science on climate change is in: legitimate scientists have been unable to provide serious scientific evidence that casts doubt on the fact that anthropogenic, that is, human-caused climate change is occurring. Less clear are the speed of climate change and the extent of damages to environmental and human health if emissions from fossil fuels continue unabated. The most recent international conference on the environment, namely the 2013 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) or Conference of the Parties (COP) 19, was characterized by bitter intergovernmental negotiations and non-committal by major emitters to watered-down agreements. COP 19 exemplifies the inadequacies inherent in the current international system, which render it incapable of effectively addressing climate change; in other words, the international community remains unable to come to an agreement or agreements that mitigate the effects of climate change now, while establishing adaptation mechanisms for the future as the effects of climate change become increasingly pronounced. The efficacy of the current regime is impeded not only by its singular, non-binding approach to emissions reduction, but also by the ability of a small number of major emitters’ ability to hinder agreements. In order to make rising to the challenge of the global climate crisis politically feasible, the international climate regime must abandon the current emissions cap approach and adopt an incremental approach to negotiations, crafting sector-specific agreements that aim to gradually reduce emissions in a viable and equitable manner.
Pomiędzy utopią a predykcją (refleksje publicystyczne)
Authors: Jankowski Paweł
Published: April 2021

The article presents the vision of the development of countries and societies as seen in threeworks from the 1990s: Francis Fukuyama’s End of History, Samuel Huntington’s The Clash ofCivilisations and Benjamin Barber’s Jihad vs McWorld. The author compares these visions to the contemporary world, together with their utopian and dystopian aspects, wondering whichof them more accurately predicted the directions of its development. Treating these works asan entry point, he considers the alternatives of the dominating liberal democracy, analysesthe features of the more and more popular neomedievalism and the flaws and advantages ofdirect democracy. Talking about direct democracy, he describes the only functioning exampleof such political system in Switzerland. Describing its details and specification, he wonders ifthe system analogous to the Swiss one could be useful somewhere else. By referring to thisproblem in the context of technological advancement, he considers the issue of developingdirect democracy with the use of electronic media. In the end, the again refers to the worksby Barber, Fukuyama and Huntington, expressing his regret for the lack of other, equally boldvisions of the world and political systems development in contemporary times.Key words: political system, liberalism, direct democracy, neomedievalism

Authors: Ali Himan I. , Al-Habib Omar A.M.
Published: April 2021

Background: Vitamin B12, folic acid and their relevant biomarkers are essential micronutrients for healthy fetal growth and development. Thus, deficiency in the levels of these vitamins and relevant biomarkers during pregnancy leads to many adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus.

Objective: The current research project aims to detect the status of vitamin B12 and Folic acid and relevant biomarkers such as Homocysteine, Methylmalonic acid and Holotranscobalamin among displaced pregnant women attending antenatal care in Domiz Camps Clinic of Syrian refugees.

Methods and Subjects: This cross-sectional research was performed at Syrian refugee’s camps in Domiz- Duhok city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, from February 2019 until June 2019. This study included 540 pregnant women whose ages ranged between 15-44 years. Participants were subdivided into three groups based on their trimesters. Each group included 180 pregnant women. Vitamin B12 and folic acid were measured by Automatic Clinical Chemistry Analyzer COBAS 6000 while Methylmalonic acid (MMA), Homocysteine (Hcy), and Holotranscobalamin (HoloTc) were measured by ELISA.

Results: The results of the current study revealed that the prevalence of vitamin B12 insufficiency (<200 pg/mL) was high across all three trimesters, which constitutes 73% in the total cohort. The mean vitamin B12 (pg/mL) during 1st semester was within the normal range (226.5± 6.95), whereas during the 2nd and 3rd semesters it was significantly (P<0.0001) low (179.25± 4.52 and 151.60±4.32, respectively). Prevalence of folic acid (ng/ml) insufficiency (<3.8 ng/mL) was 11.5% in total subjects and means of folic acid during the 3 semesters were 11.2± 0.41, 11.0± 0.41 and 9.2±0.41), respectively. Methylmalonic acid levels (umol/L) also showed a highly significant (P < 0.001) differences between the three semesters. The mean MMA levels during the three semesters were 0.130±0.003, 0.142±0.002, and 0.154± 0.003, respectively. Whereas homocysteine (umol/L) showed non-significant (P=0.2085) differences between all trimesters; and their levels were 7.6± 0.45, 8.0± 0.39, and 8.6± 0.42. respectively. Furthermore, Holotranscobalamin also showed non-significant (P=0.883) difference between studied trimesters; and its level during the three trimesters were 137.4± 2.86, 135.1± 3.25 and 137.16± 4.20 pmol/l, respectively. From the total sum, 22.2% of the total pregnant women showed an increased MMA level (more than 0.280 umol/l), and 18.5% of the total participant showed an elevated level of Hcy (more than 15 umol/l). Whereas as only 7.9% of 540 pregnant women showed low level of HoloTc less than 40 pmol/l. From the total cohort, only 7.03% showed combining lowered HoloTc level plus elevated MMA and Hcy level which indicates the manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy.

El avance de las prácticas ganaderas a nivel mundial está creciendo exponencialmente. Consecuentemente a esto tenemos las pérdidas de bosques, quedando cada vez más desérticas los suelos, afectando la micro fauna y flora presente en la misma. El objetivo principal fue determinar áreas potenciales para el desarrollo de sistemas silvopastoriles (SSP) mediante la utilización de Sistemas de Información Geográfica en la microcuenca Lluchca, provincia de Chachapoyas. Para ello se definieron cuatro tipos de aptitud: muy bueno, bueno, regular y malo. Para la delimitación de la microcuenca Lluchca se emplearon herramientas SIG (Sistemas de Información Geográfica), que facilitaron la manipulación y superposición de capas temáticas de tipo de suelo, pendiente, capacidad de uso mayor, zona de vida, red vial, red hídrica, precipitación y elevación. A estas capas se le aplicó un análisis multicriterio – Proceso analítico Jerárquico (AHP), donde se encontraron zonas con aptitud buena en 146 hectáreas, regular en 122 hectáreas y mala en 102 hectáreas, sin embargo no se encontraron zonas con aptitud óptima o muy buena.

El experimento se llevó a cabo en la granja avícola de la Universidad Nacional de Cajamarca, durante veinticuatro semanas para determinar efectos de los niveles dietarios de metionina y ácido linoleico sobre la producción y la calidad del huevo de codorniz (Coturnix coturnix var. japónica). Se inició la evaluación con 576 aves de 42 días de edad, alojadas en jaulas distribuidas según nueve combinaciones de tratamientos, con cuatro repeticiones de 16 aves por cada tratamiento, considerando tres niveles de metionina (0,40, 0,50 y 0,60% MET) y tres niveles de ácido linoleico (1,63,  2,05 y 2,47% LIN). El rendimiento productivo y la calidad del huevo se analizaron según diseño completamente randomizado en arreglo factorial de 3 x 3. Las medias se compararon mediante prueba de Tukey. Las aves alimentadas con dietas con 0,50 y 0,60% de MET tuvieron mayor ingesta de alimento y producción de huevos (p <0,05) que aquellas alimentadas con dietas con 0,40% de MET. Hubo interacción significativa (p <0,05) entre la MET y los niveles de Lin en el peso del huevo. Se observó una mejor conversión alimenticia y masa de huevo para las aves alimentadas con dietas con 0,60% de MET en comparación con aquellas alimentadas con dietas con 0,40% y 0,50% de MET. La producción y la calidad del huevo no mejoraron (p> 0,05) con los niveles altos de LIN.
Evolución temporal del área de los pinares del Valle de Lozoya
Authors: Rascón Jesús , Corroto Fernando
Published: April 2021

Uno de los lugares más emblemáticos de la Comunidad de Madrid es el Valle del Lozoya. Este lugar ha padecido abandono y maltrato por el exceso de explotación y a causa de las inadecuadas reforestaciones que comenzaron a realizarse a finales del siglo XIX. Fue en esta época en la que el interés por el entorno hace que se comience a legislar, procurando la preservación y, sobre todo, el aumento de la masa arbórea de la zona, con un resultado a veces dudoso. Con este estudio, se pretende explicar de modo conciso la evolución de los pinares de este valle madrileño. Para ello, se han trazado mapas, completándolos con tablas, y como resultado se puede observar el crecimiento de las áreas, gracias a la aplicación de las diferentes leyes y planes forestales, tales como el Plan General de Repoblación Forestal de España o el Plan Forestal de la Comunidad de Madrid. Las figuras de protección como el Parque Natural de Peñalara y el Valle del Paular también han ayudado al crecimiento de las áreas.

El Perú es probablemente el país con más diversidad nativa de ají cultivado en el mundo. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue diagnosticar las plagas y enfermedades de cinco genotipos de ají (Capsicum sp.), cultivadas en condiciones de un invernadero semicontrolado. El experimento se instaló bajo un Diseño Completamente al Azar (DCA) con cinco variedades de aji. Se evaluó la incidencia de plagas y enfermedades. En laboratorio se realizó la caracterización morfológica de las plagas y enfermedades encontradas. Las enfermedades identificadas fueron pudrición de frutos causada por Penicillium sp y pudrición vascular causada por Fusarium sp. Se presentaron solo para el ají pimiento con incidencias del 3,8 % y 8,3 % respectivamente. La única plaga que se presento fue el pulgón verde identificado como Myzus sp, que se presentó en todos los tratamientos, pero con mayor incidencia en ají pimiento con un promedio de 13,52 pulgones/cm2.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo estimar la biomasa y el carbono radicular secuestrado a través de estimaciones directas e indirectas. Para esto se aplicó el método directo, el cual consistió en la extracción de la raíz, luego el pesado de las muestras de cada componente o secciones diamétrica establecidas en el muestreo y de manera indirecta se usaron ecuaciones alométricas. Se seleccionaron 25 árboles previamente cortados, los cuales solo se mantenían en tocón, al extraer la raíz, se realizaron mediciones de 4 secciones diamétricas (0,5-2cm; 2-5cm; 5-10cm; y >10cm), se cortaron 3 rodajas de 5cm de espesor, a cada una de las secciones diamétricas. En campo se determinó el peso fresco, tanto de la muestra de cada sección diamétrica, como de las rodajas de las secciones diamétricas, estas muestras (rodajas) fueron llevadas al laboratorio para obtener su peso seco, y luego elaborar las ecuaciones alométricas mediante regresiones simples. La biomasa total radicular, estimada mediante la ecuación alométrica aplicada a los 359 árboles, en las 6 parcelas de 50x50 m, arrojó un total de 3806,2 kg de biomasa. Como el bosque natural de algarrobo de la Universidad de Piura, tiene un área de 50 ha, la biomasa total radicular fue de 126,8 t/ha y el carbono radicular secuestrado total fue de 63,33 tC/ha.
