Authors: Resca Federica , Visconti Paola , Bertana Sandra , Attanasi Paola , Gobbi Giuseppe 
Published: June 2021

Data la forte attenzione al ruolo che l'ospedale e la scuola hanno in quanto soggetti promotori di salute, il presente contributo presenta un'esperienza che ha avuto l'obiettivo di promuovere l'incontro tra bambini della scuola primaria e ospedale come occasione per favorire l'attivazione di risorse e di strategie difunzionali alla costruzione di un percorso di salute all'interno della propria storia di vita. La scuola ospedaliera č entrata nelle classi nelle quali sono state proposte attivitŕ didattiche sull'utilitŕ sociale dell'ospedale in quanto garante del diritto alla salute, sulla struttura ospedaliera, sul vissuto emotivo elicitato dall'ospedale. Successivamente ogni classe ha visitato l'ospedale, ha preso contatto con i bambini ricoverati, ha effettuato un incontro con il personale infermieristico, ha partecipato ad un incontro con una chirurga pediatra, una neuropsichiatra e una psicologa finalizzato a sensibilizzare i bambini rispetto all'attivitŕ ospedaliera e alla disabilitŕ. L'ultima fase č consistita nel riproporre ai bambini l'attivitŕ sul vissuto emotivo legato all'ospedale e un questionario di valutazione dell'esperienza, sottoposto anche alle insegnanti. I risultati vengono riportati in quanto narrazione di esperienza significativa.
Amore nel transfert. Identificazione primaria e imago materna
Authors: Kohon Gregorio 
Published: June 2021

In un nutrito numero di pazienti donne sembra esistere un'identificazione primaria con un'imago materna che viene vissuta solo in termini estremi. L'imago materna rappresenta una figura onnipotente, totipotente, sublime, che ispira paura, protettiva e sacra, personificando al tempo stesso una figura vulnerabile e patetica, dominata dalla tristezza, malattia e inibizione. Il ricordo inconscio del legame e delle lotte del soggetto con questa imago primaria di una madre/seno costituisce il background (mitico) contro il quale si svilupperanno in seguito le relazioni oggettuali. Queste verranno rievocate, rivisitate e ri-vissute nella situazione del transfert. Conformemente con la visione di Freud nel, ciň costituisce un trauma che viene ri-creato, sviluppato e compreso solo nell'attraverso il lavoro di analisi.
In/Commensurability in Chimerica : An Analysis of China’s Rhetorical Strategies in Diplomatic Conflicts with the U.S.
Authors: Delaney Robert 
Published: June 2021

<p>Niall Ferguson (2006), the British economist and author of The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World, coined the neologism “Chimerica” to identify the increasingly important and interdependent bilateral relationship between U.S. and China since Beijing emerged as the U.S.’s largest creditor and supplier of goods outside of North America. China’s contemporary cultural orientation draws primarily from Confucianism, a tradition that insists on order and cohesion. This predisposition contrasts sharply with the Aristotelian intellectual tradition of the West, and creates a constant source of friction between the two cultures. As China gains an equal economic footing with the West, and with the U.S. in particular, the sources of incommensurability between these cultures need to be understood more thoroughly to alleviate some of the conflict that would otherwise plague individual, organizational, and governmental communication spanning the two sides. This tension is evident in the editorial pages of the most important news outlets in China and the West. Focusing on selected editorials and drawing on Incommensurability Theory as an analytical framework, this research identifies some of the key cultural defaults, or commonplaces, that the Chinese government uses to guide its rhetorical position in diplomatic conflicts and the cultural roots of these default positions. </p>
The photographic negative as a historical object : an analysis of the Henryk Ross Łódź ghetto collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario
Authors: Bolanos Lindsay M. 
Published: June 2021

<p>The Photographic Negative as a Historical Object: An Analysis of the Henryk Ross Łódź Ghetto Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario examines the photographic negative, with specific attention to the negative as a historical document. Through an analysis of Jewish photographer Henryk Ross‟ photographic archive, this discussion considers the negative as a historical object by addressing the production, use, dissemination and preservation of the negative using select samples from the 3,000 35mm gelatin silver negatives in the collection, along with Ross‟ 1960s publication Darkam ha-a¸Æaronah shel Yehude Lodz' (The Last Journey of the Jews of Łódź), and Martin Parr and Timothy Prus‟ 2004 Łódź Ghetto Album. By acknowledging the use value of the negative, this thesis focuses on the unique qualities of the photographic negative as a research tool, bringing forth new components to the history of this rare collection. </p>
Regenerative Abundance: Fast and Sustainable Apparel Production in Toronto
Authors: Portway Sarah 
Published: June 2021

<p>Fast fashion consumers demand rapidly changing, trend-based product lines at low cost. As a result, independent designers struggle to compete and this model of production has far-reaching negative environmental and social impacts. This exploratory qualitative analysis suggests best practices to revitalize Toronto’s apparel manufacturing sector by catering to new demands with a blended approach rooted in Zara’s fast fashion supply chain model, and McDonough and Braungart’s (2002) vision of Cradle to Cradle sustainability. Using a semistructured interview and online short answer questionnaires, participants from the Toronto apparel design and manufacturing industry were asked what they thought about these competing objectives. Four themes emerged: (1) the need to instil sustainability awareness in consumers and producers; (2) the need to manufacture locally; (3) the importance of convenience and incentives offered for sustainable, local production; and (4) the pace of apparel production must discard the two-season model in favour of more rapidly changing product assortments. </p>
Concurrent Transaction Logic with Priority and Timing Constraints
Authors: Ge Jiwen 
Published: June 2021

<p>Concurrent Transaction Logic (CTTZ) is a deductive language for programming database transaction applications that integrates queries, updates, and transaction composition in a complete logical framework. The language supports all the properties of classical trans­actions and the properties found in some new transaction models, e.g., sub-transactions, transaction rollback, and concurrent transactions. </p>
<p>The contributions of this thesis are twofold. First, it extends CTTZ to account for timing-event-based prioritized concurrent systems in which transactions may have pri­ority and timing constraints. This extension of CTTZ, here called TV-CTTZ, provides a high-level logic programming framework for specifying and simulating executions of timed transactions and trigger-events commonly present in real-time concurrent appli­cations. Second, it describes a Prolog implementation of TV-CTTZ. The implemented TV-CTTZ prototype supports the translation from TV-CTTZ to CTTZ. Underlying this protocol, we use a simplified Rate-Monotonic algorithm [10] to schedule the execution of constraint concurrent transactions and built-in timing predicates to handle transaction time-relations.</p>
Imagining the farm: spectacle, nationalism, and agri-tourism in Canada
Authors: Poetker Karen 
Published: June 2021

<p>"My decision to explore the spectaclization of rural and farm life in Canada was fuelled by the desire to answer the following questions: </p>
<ul>
<li>What motivates the nostalgia and the longing that people have for farming, pioneer and rural life?</li>
<li>Why are people longing for this? What is it about modernity that is so disrupting and fragmenting that people would pay money to visit an old farm, to milk a cow, to pick some apples? </li>
<li>How are farm tourism and nationalism connected? Is the farm as tourist site a physical manifestation of the desire to locate a strong national identity?</li>
<li>What are the implications and complications of this transformation of the farm? </li>
</ul>
<p>The nature and length of this research paper is insufficient in dealing with the topic of farm tourism in all its detail. Rather than offer a conclusive discussion on the nature and implications of farm tourism, I hope this paper will bring to light issues of local and rural manifestations of nationalism, otherness, longing and fragmentation as well as call attention to the implications and complications that potentially arise out of agri-tourism" -- From Introduction, page 4.</p>
Experimental study on the structural behavior of insulated sandwich foam-timber panels under combined axial compression and bending
Authors: Mohamed Mahmoud 
Published: June 2021

<p>Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) can significantly reduce emissions produced by our homes and commercial buildings by reducing the amount of energy used for heating and cooling. A SIP is composed of expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) board laminated between two oriented-strand boards (OSB). SIPs are used all over the world because of their superior strength and quality build. The objective of this thesis it to evaluate the effectiveness of the foam core in providing composite action in SIPs under axial and bending loads to meet both the strength and serviceability requirements. This thesis presents the experimental program and the results of 32 full-size panels tested to-collapse at the Structures Laboratory of Ryerson University. The data generated from this extensive experimental program can easily be used to determine the load carrying capacity of the SIP walls when subjected to axial compressive loading or combined axial compressive loading and bending moment. </p>

N-Glycosylation Network Construction and Analysis to Modify Glycans on the Spike (S) Glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Krishnan Sridevi , Krishnan Giri P. 
Published: June 2021

Background: The N-glycan structure and composition of the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 are pertinent to vaccine development and efficacy.Methods: We reconstructed the glycosylation network based on previously published mass spectrometry data using GNAT, a glycosylation network analysis tool. Our compilation of the network tool had 26 glycosyltransferase and glucosidase enzymes and could infer the pathway of glycosylation machinery based on glycans in the virus spike protein. Once the glycan biosynthesis pathway was generated, we simulated the effect of blocking specific enzymes—swainsonine or deoxynojirimycin for blocking mannosidase-II and indolizidine for blocking alpha-1,6-fucosyltransferase—to see how they would affect the biosynthesis network and the glycans that were synthesized.Results: The N-glycan biosynthesis network of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein shows an elaborate enzymatic pathway with several intermediate glycans, along with the ones identified by mass spectrometric studies. Of the 26 enzymes, the following were involved—Man-Ia, MGAT1, MGAT2, MGAT4, MGAT5, B3GalT, B4GalT, Man-II, SiaT, ST3GalI, ST3GalVI, and FucT8. Blocking specific enzymes resulted in a substantially modified glycan profile of SARS-CoV-2.Conclusion: Variations in the final N-glycan profile of the virus, given its site-specific microheterogeneity, are factors in the host response to the infection, vaccines, and antibodies. Heterogeneity in the N-glycan profile of the spike (S) protein and its potential effect on vaccine efficacy or adverse reactions to the vaccines remain unexplored. Here, we provide all the resources we generated—the glycans in the glycoCT xml format and the biosynthesis network for future work.

Published: June 2021

Purpose: Impairment of cortical cholinergic pathways (CCP) is an important risk factor for chronic vascular cognitive impairment. However, this phenomenon has rarely been studied in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). We investigated the relationship between PSCI and CCP lesions assessed by structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Patients and methods: We prospectively enrolled 103 patients within 7 days of ischemic stroke onset. CCP was measured by the cholinergic pathways hyperintensities scale (CHIPS), which semiquantitatively grades MR lesions strategically located on the CCP identified in human brains. We also measured other MRI parameters, including the location and volumes of acute infarcts, cerebral microbleeds, medial temporal lobe atrophy, and white matter lesions. Neuropsychological assessments were performed using the 60-min modified vascular dementia battery (VDB) at 3 months after the index stroke, and PSCI was defined according to VDB as well as ADL.Results: Of all 103 patients, 69 men (67.0%) and 34 women (33.0%) with a mean age of 57.22 ± 12.95 years, 55 patients (53.4%) were judged to have PSCI at 3 months, including 43 (41.7%) patients with PSCI-no dementia and 12 (11.7%) patients with poststroke dementia. According to the VBD assessment, the most commonly impaired cognitive domain was visuomotor speed (27.2%) followed by verbal memory (25.2%). Univariate analysis showed that patients with PSCI were older; had higher informant questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly (IQCODE) scores; had more frequent previous stroke history and atrial fibrillation; and had higher CHIPS scores, more severe white matter lesions, and medial temporal lobe atrophy. PSCI patients also had higher depression scores at 3 months. In the multivariate regression analysis, age, IQCODE score, CHIPS score, and Hamilton depression rating scale score were independent predictors of PSCI. Ordinal regression analysis for risk factors of poor functional outcomes revealed that IQCODE scores and cognitive function status were related to mRS score at 3 months after stroke.Conclusion: In patients with early subacute ischemic stroke, the severity of lesions involving the CCP may be associated with cognitive impairment at 3 months.Clinical Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, identifier: ChiCTR1800014982.
Why Are Stroke Rehabilitation Trial Recruitment Rates in Single Digits?
Authors: Geed Shashwati , Feit Preethy , Edwards Dorothy F. , Dromerick Alexander W. 
Published: June 2021

Background: Recruitment of patients in early subacute rehabilitation trials (&lt;30 days post-stroke) presents unique challenges compared to conventional stroke trials recruiting individuals &gt;6 months post-stroke. Preclinical studies suggest treatments be initiated sooner after stroke, thus requiring stroke rehabilitation trials be conducted within days post-stroke. How do specific inclusion and exclusion criteria affect trial recruitment rates for early stroke rehabilitation trials?Objectives: Provide estimates of trial recruitment based on screening and enrollment data from a phase II early stroke rehabilitation trial.Methods: CPASS, a phase II intervention trial screened ischemic stroke patients in acute care (18-months, N = 395) and inpatient rehabilitation (22-months, N = 673). Patients were stratified by upper extremity (UE) impairment into mild (NIHSS motor arm = 0, 1); moderate (NIHSS = 2, 3); severe (NIHSS = 4) and numbers of patients disqualified due to CPASS exclusion criteria determined. We also examined if a motor-specific evaluation (Action Research Arm Test, ARAT) increases the pool of eligible patients disqualified by the NIHSS motor arm item.Results: CPASS recruitment in acute care (5.3%) and inpatient rehabilitation (5%) was comparable to prior trials. In acute care, a short stay (7–17-days), prior stroke (13.5% in moderately; 13.2% in severely impaired) disqualified the majority. In inpatient rehabilitation, the majority (40.8%) were excluded for “too mild” impairment. The next majority were disqualified for reaching inpatient rehabilitation “too late” to participate in an early stroke trial (15% in moderately; 24% in severely impaired). Mean ARAT in the “too mild” showed significant impairment and potential to benefit from participation in select UE rehabilitation trials.Conclusions: Screening of ischemic stroke patients while they are still in acute care is crucial to successful recruitment for early stroke rehabilitation trials. A significant proportion of eligible patients are lost to “short length of stay” in acute care, and arrive to inpatient rehabilitation “too late” for an early rehabilitation trial. Additional screening of mildly impaired patients using a motor function specific scale will benefit the trial recruitment and generalizability.Trial Registration Number:http://www.clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT02235974.

Published: June 2021

Background and Objectives: Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic disease, can be triggered by various causes. This study investigated the association between allergic sensitization and anaphylactic symptoms and the severity of anaphylaxis in children.Patients and Methods: A retrospective review of 107 pediatric patients with anaphylaxis was performed between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2017; 74 patients underwent allergen testing for specific immunoglobulin E. Allergic sensitizations and associations with anaphylactic symptoms and severity were investigated.Results: Overall, 64 (86.5%) patients were sensitized to food or inhalant allergens. In children under 2 years of age, 90.5% were sensitized to food (P = 0.001); in those over 6 years of age, 84.6% were sensitized to inhalant allergens (P = 0.001). Milk sensitization was significantly associated with severe anaphylaxis (P = 0.036). The following symptoms showed significant associations with certain allergen sensitizations: facial edema with food; wheezing with milk; dyspnea with mite, etc. Certain allergen sensitizations presenting as risk factors for anaphylactic symptoms: wheat (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 4.644, P = 0.044) and nuts (aOR=3.614, P = 0.041) for wheezing, nuts (aOR=5.201, P = 0.026) for dyspnea, and milk (aOR=4.712, P = 0.048) for vomiting.Conclusion: The allergen sensitization status differed according to the age of the children experiencing anaphylaxis. The severity, symptoms, and signs of anaphylaxis differed depending on the allergen sensitization status.

Objective: This study examined whether obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients have gray matter abnormalities in regions related to executive function, and whether such abnormalities are associated with impaired executive function.Methods: Multiple scales were administered to 27 first-episode drug-naïve OCD patients and 29 healthy controls. Comprehensive brain morphometric indicators of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and three striatum areas (caudate, putamen, and pallidum) were determined. Hemisphere lateralization index was calculated for each region of interest. Correlations between lateralization index and psychological variables were examined in OCD group.Results: The OCD group had greater local gyrification index for the right OFC and greater gray matter volumes of the bilateral putamen and left pallidum than healthy controls. They also had weaker left hemisphere superiority for local gyrification index of the OFC and gray matter volume of the putamen, but stronger left hemisphere superiority for gray matter volume of the pallidum. Patients' lateralization index for local gyrification index of the OFC correlated negatively with Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale and Dysexecutive Questionnaire scores, respectively.Conclusion: Structural abnormalities of the bilateral putamen, left pallidum, and right OFC may underlie OCD pathology. Abnormal lateralization in OCD may contribute to the onset of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and impaired executive function.

Published: June 2021

Ag-containing hydroxyapatite (HA) can reduce risks associated with bacterial infections which may eventually require additional surgical operations to retrieve a failed implant. The biological properties of HA in such applications are strongly affected by its composition in terms of dopants as well as Ca/P stoichiometry, which can be easily controlled by altering processing parameters, such as precursor concentrations. The objective of this in vitro study was to understand the effect of variations in HA precursor solutions on antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and for promoting osteoblast (bone-forming cell) adhesion on Ag incorporated HA (AgHA) which has not yet been investigated. For this, two groups of AgHAs were synthesized via a precipitation method by adjusting precursor reactants with a stoichiometric value of 1.67, being either (Ca + Ag)/P (Ca-deficient) or Ca/(P + Ag) (P-deficient), and were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS. Results showed that Ag+ incorporated into the Ca2+ sites was associated with a corresponding OH− vacancy. Additional incorporation of CO32− into PO43− sites occurred specifically for the P-deficient AgHAs. While antibacterial properties increased, osteoblast adhesion decreased with increasing Ag content for the Ca-deficient AgHAs, as anticipated. In contrast, significant antibacterial properties with good osteoblast behavior were observed on the P-deficient AgHAs even with a lower Ag content, owing to carbonated HA. Thus, this showed that by synthesizing AgHA using P-deficient precursors with carbonate substitution, one can keep the antibacterial properties of Ag in HA while reducing its toxic effect on osteoblasts.
