Racial disparity in the Ontario child welfare system: Conceptualizing policies and practices that drive involvement for Black families
Authors: Mohamud Faisa , Edwards Travonne , Antwi-Boasiako Kofi , William Kineesha , King Jason , Igor Elo , King Bryn
Published: June 2023

Racial disparities in child welfare involvement between Black and White children have been well-documented in the United States, but research in this area is relatively underexplored in Canada. Emerging evidence from Canadian studies indicates that Black families are far more likely to be reported for maltreatment concerns, and that these initial disparities persist as families move deeper into the system. Scholars have begun to identify the factors associated with those disparities in Canada, but there is a need for understanding the larger structural and historical context that shapes the opportunities and constraints for Black families living in Ontario. This analysis will situate child welfare in a nexus of anti-Black policy and structure with respect to immigration restrictions, income disparities, residential segregation, and the functioning of linked institutions such as the mental health, education, and legal systems. The cumulative burden of navigating and contending with these larger systemic forces leave Black families vulnerable to a relatively low threshold for reporting maltreatment concerns and risk of harm to Ontario child welfare agencies. This paper documents the alignment between the circumstances created by anti-Black racism at institutional, provincial, and federal levels and the seemingly race-neutral eligibility criteria embedded within Ontario child welfare, which results in disproportionate reporting of Black families.

 
The absence of language: A critical race discourse analysis of Ontario’s child welfare legislation and the impacts on Black families
Authors: Edwards Travonne , McManamna Nakema , King Bryn
Published: June 2023

Background: The research pertaining to racial disparities for Black families in child welfare is relatively limited in Canada. Recent research reveals that the overrepresentation of Black families in Canadian child welfare systems typically begins at the reporting or investigation stage and continues throughout the child welfare service and decision-making continuum. This research is occurring against the backdrop of increasing public acknowledgement of Canada’s historic anti-Black policy-making and institutional relationships to Black communities. Though there is increased awareness about anti-Black racism, there has been limited exploration of the connection between anti-Black racism in child welfare legislation and how this policy generates disparities for Black families in both child welfare involvement and outcomes – this paper seeks to fill this gap in knowledge. 

Objective: The objective of this paper is to explore the entrenchment of anti-Black racism within the child welfare system by critically assessing the language and absence of language within the guiding legislative and implementation policies. 

Methods: Utilizing a critical race discourse analysis method, this study explores the entrenchment of anti-Black racism within the Ontario child welfare system by critically assessing the language and absence of language within the guiding legislative policies that shape practice for Black children, youth, and families. 

Results: The findings revealed that though the legislation does not explicitly address anti-Black racism, there were instances where the legislation indicated that race and culture may be considered in responding to children and families. The lack of specificity, particularly in the Duty to Report, has the potential to contribute to disparate reporting and decision-making for Black families.

Conclusions: Policy makers should acknowledge the history of anti-Black racism that informed the development of the legislation in Ontario and move towards tackling systemic injustices that disproportionately affect Black families. More explicit language will shape future policies and practices to ensure that the impact of anti-Black racism is considered across the child welfare continuum. 
Pushed, Dropped, or Fleeing from Care: The Narratives and Adultification of Black Youth Who Have Aged out of Ontario’s Child Welfare System

Published: June 2023

Black youth have consistently reported that when they are transitioning from out-of-home care (OOHC) into independence, they are not supported or included in decision-making, and they feel isolated and vulnerable as they face an uncertain future. Previous research has documented the ways in which Black youths’ experiences in care are characterized by unpredictability and loss, but then care ends—and they continue to struggle. For Black youth in care, this transition can be exceptionally difficult as they are contending with the additional strain of doing so within the child welfare system and larger social context characterized by a loss of community and the persistence of anti-Black racism. Presently, there are no empirical studies in Ontario that investigate Black youth’s narratives transitioning from OOHC; this manuscript seeks to fill this gap in knowledge. Employing Adultification and Anti-Black Racism Theory as theoretical frameworks, this qualitative study investigated the narratives of 27 Black youth with lived experiences navigating OOHC in Ontario’s child welfare system. This study utilized narrative inquiry as a methodological approach. Three main narratives were identified: (1) the need for finances and a financial literacy; (2) narratives of aging out and (3) the challenges of navigating funding. To better support Black youth in their transition out of care and in independent living, recommendations for policy and practice include earlier transitional support, ensuring youth have a practical understanding of financial literacy, and educating youth about resources and their rights.

Objective. The objective of the study is to substantiate theoretically the method of forming intercultural competence of high school students in English lessons. Methods. The solution of the tasks was carried out by using such methods as: analysis and generalization of scientific and educational literature on the problems of didactics; system analysis; combination of historical and logical methods in research; separation of subsystems of complex objects and their systematic analysis, holistic, integrated approaches to the study of pedagogical phenomena. Results. It is believed that the formation of intercultural competence should be a constant modeling of intercultural dialogue. As in any dialogue, an important factor here is the psychological attitude to reciprocity, mutual understanding and willingness to make concessions. The dialogue is aimed at rapprochement and mutual enrichment of communicators. The dialogue of cultures presupposes the recognition of equality, the recognition by communicants of the right to the existence of another worldview system, its equality with one’s own. It is aimed at expanding the spiritual and cultural worldview, the assimilation of universal values, the development of imaginative thinking, to gain emotional experience. Perfect mastery of language material is one of the prerequisites for successful communication between representatives of two different cultures. Mastering the riches of the phraseological fund of language is of great value in learning a foreign language not only because phraseology embellishes the language and makes it emotional and figurative. Selection of language material, conclusion of tasks for the formation of intercultural competence by means of a foreign language in the process of its learning are urgent tasks that need to be solved. The development of intercultural competence of students in English lessons is one of the most effective methods of teaching foreign languages, which aims to form students’ meaningful perception and understanding of a foreign language, mastery of language material to build their own statements. The introduction of elements of culture in the process of teaching English is a necessary need today, because awareness and separation of differences in different cultures, tolerance of these differences stimulates the linguistic, cognitive and social development of students.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are one of the most common causes of MBL mediated morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Day-by-day these isolates are showing increasing resistance trends to different antimicrobial agents. But there are few data in Bangladesh, the study was designed to observe the pattern of antimicrobial resistance, prevalence of MBL, AmpC and finally phylogenetic distributions. A total of 200 isolates were analyzed in this study, comprising of 100 MDR-carbapenem resistant P. aeruginosa and 100 MDR-carbapenem resistant A. baumonnii. Isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility, AmpC test, phenotypic and genotypic detection of MBL production. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests demonstrated that out of the 100 P. aeruginosa isolates, 99% were resistant to ceftriaxone and cefixime followed by ciprofloxacin/amikacin/netilmicin (94%), imipenem (93%) and meropenem (91%). On the other hand, 100% of the studied A. baumannii isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone, co-trimoxazole, cefixime and meropenem followed by imipenem (99%), ciprofloxacin (97%), amikacin (95%) and ceftazidime (94%). P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii showed 48% and 32% carbapenemase, 34% and 25% AmpC and 92% and 35% MBL positive, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of blaVIM gene of 16 P. aeruginosa showed similarities with the sequences from the global origin. Phylogenetic analysis of the blaNDM-1 gene sequences from 5 A. baumannii isolates (5%) revealed that 4 sequences from strains formed distinct lineages with that of the stains from India, while only one was found to be closely related to the sequences from global sources. This study found a high percentage of MBL production in MDR-carbapenem resistant P. aeruginosa (92%) and A. baumannii (35%) isolates. These findings indicate significant concern given the predominant socio-economic factors that promote the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance and infectious diseases in developing countries such as Bangladesh.

Published: June 2023

Alpha-amylases are glycosidic bond hydrolyzing enzymes produced in many microorganisms. In the modern era, the spectrum of amylase applications has expanded into various industries, including medical fields. Among other approaches, strain improvement by mutation and culture optimization are attractive methods for increasing the productivity of alpha-amylase in bacterial strains. The present study aimed at enhancing the yield of the enzyme alpha-amylase from the host strain Bacillus licheniformis. The UV irradiation has been used to induce mutations in the bacterial strain with different time durations. Afterwards, the mutant strains were cultured in different modified growth media for enzyme production. Among the four time periods,the highest enzyme activity (705.23 U/ml) was observed after 24 hours which is more than two-fold higher compared to the enzyme activity of the host stain (345.31 U/ml). In addition, enzyme yield varied significantly in modified culture media (i.e, MP1 and MP2, MP3 and MP4) with different carbon and nitrogen compositions. The mutant strain cultured in MP3 medium had the highest amylase activity which was 1461.2 U/ml at 24 hours. More interestingly, this medium also had the highest enzyme activity (1080.5 U/ml) at 48 hours. The trend of enzyme activity showed a decreasing tendency when the strains cultured in MP1, MP2, and MP3 media, but exceptionally, a sharp decreasing trend was seen in MP4 media from 622.1 U/ml at 24 hours to 428.4 U/ml at 48 hours. From the findings, it can be concluded that B. licheniformis is a good candidate to employ for alpha-amylase production in a modified MP3 culture condition for a short time. However, other limiting factors need to be considered for increasing the yield.

Authors: Saputra Herman , Sriwidyani Ni Putu , Paskarani Putu Erika , Khosasi Silvia
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a B-cell neoplasm arising from the germinal center. Gastrointestinal FL is a rare case, accounting for less than 4% of all primary lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. Duodenal-type Follicular Lymphoma (DTFL) was included in an entity of primary intestinal FL. However, in the 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification, this entity was included in a specific variant called DTFL. In this article, we report a case of DTFL in a 56-year-old man which was incidentally found during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy Case Presentation: : We report a case of incidentally found DTFL in a 56-year-old man during an endoscopy. The endoscopic finding showed a small, hypertrophic, or nodular lesion on part two duodenum. Microscopic evaluation of duodenal mucosa consists of proliferative atypical lymphoid cells arranged in follicular architecture. The lesion was confined to the lamina propria. The atypical lymphoid cells were dominated by monotonous centrocyte-like cells, small-sized, with scant cytoplasm, and cleaved nuclei. There were some scattered larger centroblast-like cells with multiple nucleoli. No mantle zone and tingible body macrophage were found. The immunohistochemical evaluation showed positivity for CD 20, CD 10, Bcl-6, and Bcl-2 in the follicular structure. CD 21 was dominantly stained at the periphery of the follicular structure, and Ki-67 was low. Conclusions: According to clinical data, endoscopic findings, and histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, the patient was diagnosed with DTFL.

Published: June 2023

Background: : Cancer is one of the main causes of death and increased morbidity in every country in the world. According to Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) 2020 data, it is estimated that 19.3 million new cancer cases and nearly 10.0 million cancer deaths occurred in the world in 2020. Based on the same data, it is estimated that 396,914 new cancer cases and nearly 234,511 cancer deaths are estimated to occur in Indonesia. Dharmais National Cancer Hospital (DNCH) as a national cancer center is a miniature of cancer data in Indonesia. For this reason, researchers want to compare whether the data on the number and types of cancer in DNCH are the same as those in GLOBOCAN 2020.Methods: This research is a descriptive analysis with secondary data collection methods taken from medical records. The sampling technique was total sampling, univariate data analysis, namely new cases of cancer patients for the January-December 2021 period which are 2,382 cases.Results: The results showed that the same order in both data was only found in the first, second, and seventh order, namely breast cancer, cervical cancer, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, respectively. However, the percentage of new cases of breast cancer in RSKD is much higher (2.5-folds) than in GLOBOCAN.Conclusion: There are several differences between the data on new cancer cases in the two data, which can be caused because DNCH has complete facilities, both for diagnostic and curative purposes, and examinations such as IHC and bone scans are only available at certain hospitals and one of them is DNCH.

Published: June 2023

Sharptail mola Masturus lanceolatus share a circumglobal distribution with ocean sunfish Mola mola and are typically regarded as gelatinous plankton feeders. Both species are frequently captured as bycatch in the same areas, but sharptail mola are often targeted and heavily harvested in certain regions. However, the diet of sharptail mola remains poorly described. We examined the foraging habits and trophic dynamics of sharptail mola from waters off eastern Taiwan using stomach content analysis (SCA; n = 162), bulk tissue stable isotope analysis (SIA; n = 213), and compound-specific isotope analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA; n = 10). Results demonstrated that sharptail mola mainly consumed tunicates, with lower dietary proportions of diverse prey from epi- and mesopelagic, coastal, and benthic habitats. The diet of sharptail mola changed significantly with size; small mola (<80 cm) had lower δ15N and δ13C values and fed on more pteropods and Salpidae, while large mola (>80 cm) fed on more Pyrosoma spp., cephalopods, and benthic organisms living on sandy substrates, with larger individuals having correspondingly higher isotope values and trophic positions. Diet compositions and δ13C values also showed seasonal variations across body size, suggesting that sharptail mola might undergo seasonal migrations with changing availability of food resources. The results provide insights into the trophic dynamics of sharptail mola and suggest that their foraging behavior varies across life-history stages and seasons.

Bu çalışma; arşivcilik alanındaki uygulayıcıların araştırma süreçlerine katılımlarını ve araştırmacılar başta olmak üzere farklı profildeki yazarlar ile kurdukları bilimsel iş birliklerinin düzeyini ortaya çıkartmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, arşivcilik alanına yönelik yayımlanan beş ulusal dergideki (Arşiv Dünyası, Bilgi ve Belge Araştırmaları, Bilgi Yönetimi, Hazine-i Evrak Arşiv ve Tarih Araştırmaları ve Library, Archive and Museum Research) toplam 219 makale yazar özellikleri açısından incelenmiştir. Yazarlar, belli kategorilere (araştırmacılar, uygulayıcılar, öğrenciler ve diğer yazarlar) göre ayrılarak analiz edilmiştir. Uygulayıcı yazarlar arşivci ve kütüphaneci olarak ayrılmışlardır. Yapılan kategori oluşturma ve kodlama çalışmaları, erişime açık olan araştırmanın verileri üzerinde görülebilir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, ulusal alanyazında daha önce sunulan Türk Kütüphaneciliği ve Bilgi Dünyası dergilerine ilişkin bulgular ile birlikte değerlendirilmiş ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Buna göre; incelenen beş derginin, Türk Kütüphaneciliği ve Bilgi Dünyası dergilerine kıyasla, daha fazla uygulayıcılara hitap ettiği görülmüştür. İncelenen beş dergide en az bir uygulayıcının katkısı ile yazılmış makale oranı %22,37’dir. İlgili dergilerde arşivcilerin yazarlık katkısı ile oluşturulmuş makale oranı ise %10,95’dir (N=219). Bu dergilerden; Arşiv Dünyası, Bilgi Yönetimi ve Hazine-i Evrak Arşiv ve Tarih Araştırmaları dergileri, diğer dergilere göre, arşivci makaleleri yayımlama oranı açısından ön plana çıkmaktadır. Makalelerin sadece %0,91’inde araştırmacılarla iş birliği kuran arşivcilerin, bu alanın önemli araştırmacılarından olan tarih alanı araştırmacıları ile hiçbir yayında iş birliği kurmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Türk Kütüphaneciliği ve Bilgi Dünyası dergileri ile çalışmamız kapsamında incelenen dergiler bir arada ele alındığında, toplam yedi dergide 30 arşivci makalesinin yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu rakam, yedi dergide incelenmiş makalelerin sadece %4,15’idir (N=722). Bu bulgulara bağlı olarak; arşivcilerin makalelere yazarlık katkısının ve araştırma iş birliklerinin sınırlı bir düzeyde kaldığı kanaati oluşmuştur. Arşivcilik alanındaki uygulayıcıların araştırma süreçlerine katkısının artırılması için dergilere, üniversitelerdeki akademik bölümlere ve arşiv uygulayıcılarının çalıştıkları kurumlara çeşitli sorumluluklar ve görevler düştüğü değerlendirilmektedir. Konuya ilişkin çalışmaların çeşitlenerek artması, arşivcilerin araştırma yapmaları ve yayımlamaları konusunda bir farkındalık oluşturabilir. Bu farkındalık, arşivcilik alanında araştırma-uygulama ilişkisinin etkili bir biçimde kurulması açısından önemlidir.

Family is the first environment a child experiences when born. In subsequent development the family is also the main environment in the formation of a child's personality. The early days of its growth are more spent in the family environment. So it is in the family that a child experiences the first and foremost process of education. All forms of family behavior, especially both parents, both words (oral) and deeds, both teaching, example and habits applied in family social life, will affect the pattern of development of the next child's behavior. Therefore, parents must be able to instill a good education to children from an early age, so that the development of the child's next behavior can reflect a noble personality, which benefits himself, religion, family and society and nation.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to describe and analyze the prevention of free sex through Islamic education at SMK Al Fattah Tigaraksa. Free sex that often occurs among adolescents is caused by several main factors, namely the lack of Islamic education, the influence of increasingly rapid globalization and the influence of the personality of adolescents themselves because they have entered a transition period from childhood to adolescence, so Islamic education is very important for adolescents. This research is a quantitative. The results showed: 1) Islamic religious education at SMK Al Fattah Tigaraksa should be implemented considering that the school is a religion-based school and has a boarding school. 2) SMK Al Fattah Tigaraksa provides daily habits to prevent free sex by always holding congregational prayers, holding tahfidz and requiring students to always memorize the Qur'an. 3) The influence of Islamic religious education on the prevention of free sex in SMK Al Fattah Tigaraksa has a moderate or moderate effect with a value of 0.447, and is strengthened by a contribution value of 1.99% or rounded up to 20%.

Introduction: Correction of knee malalignment by guided growth using a tension-band plate is a common therapy to prevent knee osteoarthritis among other things. This approach is based on the Hueter-Volkmann law stating that the length growth of bones is inhibited by compression and stimulated by tension. How the locally varying mechanical loading of the growth plate is influenced by the implant has not yet been investigated. This study combines load cases from the gait cycle with personalized geometry in order to investigate the mechanical influence of the tension-band plates.

Methods: Personalized finite element models of four distal femoral epiphyses of three individuals, that had undergone guided growth, were generated. Load cases from the gait cycles and musculoskeletal modelling were simulated with and without implant. Morphological features of the growth plates were obtained from radiographs. 3D geometries were completed using non-individual Magnetic Resonance Images of age-matched individuals. Boundary conditions for the models were obtained from instrumented gait analyses.

Results: The stress distribution in the growth plate was heterogenous and depended on the geometry. In the insertion region, the implants locally induced static stress and reduced the cyclic loading and unloading. Both factors that reduce the growth rate. On the contralateral side of the growth plate, increased tension stress was observed, which stimulates growth.

Discussion: Personalized finite element models are able to estimate the changes of local static and cyclic loading of the growth plate induced by the implant. In future, this knowledge can help to better control growth modulation and avoid the return of the malalignment after the treatment. However, this requires models that are completely participant-specific in terms of load cases and 3D geometry.

Macrophage responses following the implantation of orthopaedic implants are essential for successful implant integration in the body, partly through intimate crosstalk with human marrow stromal cells (hMSCs) in the process of new bone formation. Additive manufacturing (AM) and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are promising techniques to achieve multifunctional titanium implants. Their osteoimmunomodulatory properties are, however, not yet fully investigated. Here, we studied the effects of implants with AgNPs on human macrophages and the crosstalk between hMSCs and human macrophages when co-cultured in vitro with biofunctionalised AM Ti6Al4V implants. A concentration of 0.3 g/L AgNPs in the PEO electrolyte was found to be optimal for both macrophage viability and inhibition of bacteria growth. These specimens also caused a decrease of the macrophage tissue repair related factor C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 18 (CCL18). Nevertheless, co-cultured hMSCs could osteogenically differentiate without any adverse effects caused by the presence of macrophages that were previously exposed to the PEO (±AgNPs) surfaces. Further evaluation of these promising implants in a bony in vivo environment with and without infection is highly recommended to prove their potential for clinical use.
