Campus Food Initiatives: Mitigating Student Food Insecurity
Authors: Sept Myla
Published: June 2024

With an increasing cost of living in Canada, more people are considered food insecure, and this can have a detrimental impact on Canadian University students (Dahal et al., 2023). Food insecurity is the state of being without reliable access to affordable and nutritious food. University students face greater food insecurity than the general population due to financial constraints and accessibility (Sing, 2022). This study sought to explore student’s knowledge, need, and use of food initiatives on campus (aimed at mitigating food insecurity) through the use of a questionnaire. The questionnaire determined that 61% of students are not always able to access affordable and nutritious food. Regarding food insecurity, students said that they never (39%), seldom (21%), sometimes (30%), often (9%), and always (1%) experience it. The University of Lethbridge has three food initiatives in place to combat food insecurity: the food bank, the food pantries, and the fresh food box. 27% of students in this study use the three mentioned food initiatives, breaking down into 9% using the food bank, 14% using the food pantry, and 4% using the fresh food box. This research could be used to help inform the University of Lethbridge’s levels of food insecurity in the student population as well as which food initiatives to implement based on students’ self-identified needs.
Long-Term Trampling Effects on Plant Species Biodiversity Along Edmonton’s Ravine Woodlands
Authors: Kovvuru Anusha , Woo Artesia , Kaur Komalpreet , Andrawes Nathalie
Published: June 2024

Background Edmonton’s ravine woodlands along the River Valley are rich with riparian vegetation. However, as a recreational spot, it is affected by human trampling, one of the most common forms of disturbances that ravine woodlands experience. Long-term human trampling acts as a factor in spreading non-native plants.
Methods Therefore, we examined whether trampling will increase species richness at the edges of the main trail due to the regular introduction of new species. To test this hypothesis, we randomly selected seven transects in flat spots in Kinsmen Park at Edmonton’s River Valley. Then, we created a 4-plot gradient perpendicular to the main trail in each transect and assessed plant species diversity and non-native plant cover in each plot.
Results We observed a slight but noteworthy decline in the richness of plant species as distance increased from the main trail, with a p-value of 0.091 indicating marginal significance. However, there was little to no evidence that this decline was due to the decrease in non-native plant cover.
Conclusions However, there was little to no evidence that this decline was due to the decrease in non-native plant cover. Long-term trampling has a positive effect on species richness; however, further large-scale studies are needed to investigate the cause of that effect.

Published: June 2024

Hypertension, characterized by diastolic pressure exceeding 90 mmHg and systolic pressure surpassing 140 mmHg, poses a significant health challenge often addressed through pharmacological antihypertensive therapy. This research endeavors to evaluate the impact of complementary interventions, specifically deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation, on reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients within the operational domain of the Kertasemaya Community Health Center in the Indramayu Regency in 2023. Adopting a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Pretest-Posttest and Control Group paradigm, the study engaged a cohort of 70 respondents stratified into intervention and control groups. The intervention group underwent a combined therapy of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation, followed by a meticulous post-test for final observations. Meanwhile, the control group underwent an initial blood pressure measurement (pre-test), a relaxation period of 15-30 minutes, and concluded with a post-test for final measurements. The study revealed a statistically significant influence (p=0.013) on average blood pressure within the intervention group compared to the control group. This disparity was observed both before and after the implementation of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation techniques among hypertensive respondents. These findings underscore the potential efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in mitigating hypertension and enhancing patient well-being. The combination of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation emerges as a highly effective strategy in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive individuals. This integrative therapeutic approach showcases promising potential for promoting cardiovascular well-being, offering a valuable non-pharmacological avenue for hypertension management

This research aims to evaluate the chemical literacy profile of students who have utilized the "Chemistry Challenge" e-book and determine if there are significant differences between those who have used it and those who have not. The Chemical Equilibrium Literacy Questionnaire (CELQ) was utilized as an instrument for data collection. The CELQ data was analyzed utilizing ideal criteria assessment to evaluate the chemical literacy profile, and the independent t-test was used to see significant differences. The results of the CELQ show that 82% of students have a chemistry literacy profile in the good and very good categories after using the "Chemistry Challenge" e-book, this result is superior to students who learn using student worksheets. Apart from that, statistically, there are significant differences between the two groups of students. Therefore, the use of the "Chemistry Challenge" e-book has a positive effect on students' chemical literacy profiles.
