Italian 17th- and 18th-Century Dramatic Works with Music, Written for the Clothing and Profession Ceremonies, with Special Reference to Compositions Based on the Book of Judith
Authors: Ryszka-Komarnicka Anna 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Late 16th- and early 17th-century Italian theatrical works (with or without music) based on the Book of Judith are perceived as associated with women, who acted as their performers (in female monasteries), dedicatees, or patrons. This paper considers the reasons for the loosening of such ties in the Baroque genres of dialogue and oratorio, which evolved in the circles of religious and lay congregations, in which women were either marginalised or altogether excluded. The link between women and the oratorio genre was thus maintained only in the case of the so-called palace oratorios. Oratorios did not gain a solid footing in the music life of female religious orders, either. Their presence mainly made itself felt in the space suspended between the monastic and secular worlds, namely, in the context of the ceremonies of clothing and profession, which were celebrated with performances of cantatas, dialogues, or oratorios. A survey of such repertoire from the 17th and 18th centuries has revealed an astonishing wealth of subjects and approaches: allegorical works, saints’ lives, Old Testament stories praising parents who offered their children up to God, happy weddings, or the deeds of extraordinary women. The Book of Judith occupies an important place among the latter subjects, which emphasised the fides and fortitudo of those entering monastic life. Existing works (such as Metastasio's Betulia) were also sometimes used. Some texts were written specially for such occasions, and they demonstrate individual qualities. Metastasio's solemn and exalted model was followed even in such small-scale pieces as the Florentine componimento sacro Giuditta of 1750. The rappresentazione La Giuditte (1621) depicts the strength of faith not only of Judith herself, but also (contrary to the Biblical account) – of the Bethulian society as an allegory of Bologna and its inhabitants. Comic elements were smuggled into the Paduan oratorio Giuditta (1735). To sum up, dramatic works with music based on the Book of Judith, written for the ceremonies of women entering the monastery, which have hitherto remained marginal to academic research, represent a promising field for further studies.

Abstract
Die autobiographisch unterlegten Antikriegsromane von Alexander Moritz Frey (1881–1957) Die Pflasterkästen. Ein Feldsanitätsroman (1929) und Adrienne Thomas Die Katrin wird Soldat. Ein Roman aus Elsass-Lothringen (1930) literarisieren den Erfahrungsraum des Sanitätsdienstes und der Kriegskrankenpflege; sie kamen in der Weimarer Republik fast gleichzeitig mit Erich Maria Remarques Bestseller Im Westen nichts Neues auf den Buchmarkt – und mussten diesem dank ihrer Qualität zunächst nicht weichen. Ihre Schutzumschläge und Bucheinbände, oft von renommierten Graphiker*innen geschaffen, kommentieren die in ihnen enthaltene Erzählung und sie illustrieren das Vergessen und Erinnern der Werke, die sie umschlossen.
Downtrodden Peoples or Illegal Migrants? The Role of Parliamentary Speeches in Perceptions for Refugees to Canada
Authors: Counter Carling 
Published: April 2021

The Syrian Refugee Crisis weighs heavily on the minds and shoulders of Canadian politicians. This project explored how the victims of this crisis and other refugees are discussed in Parliament. Parliamentary speeches were collected and coded to see what themes run through these discourses and whether they change based on time or party affiliation. It was found that humanitarian concerns were a thread through all parties, but these concerns came in at different times depending on party. Additionally, there were come concerns that were more prevalent in other parties in the refugee discourse, such as terrorism in the Conservative party, nationalism and the Liberal party, and deservingness and the NDP.
The Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Slope Stability Assessment
Authors: Meeks Connor 
Published: April 2021

The use and applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in geotechnical engineering is rapidly growing, leading to changes in the way that data is acquired, analyzed and processed. UAVs can reach areas previously inaccessible via ground or helicopter, while also being quickly deployed. Cameras are the current standard for data collection and 3D model creation.
There are multiple types of UAV’s currently available. Quadcopters can take off and land in spatially constrained areas, but carry a small stabilized camera producing low quality models. Octocopters permit an increased payload, so a higher quality camera can be attached, allowing for increased model accuracy. Flight time is reduced by the additional weight. Fixed wing UAVs create higher quality photogrammetry models, and are commonly deployed over large surface areas. Transport Canada certification must be approved prior to any flights occurring for research or work. A detailed application must be created, including a flight plan and demonstration of prior flight experience.
At the White Canyon site in B.C., a Phantom 4 Quadcopter was flown for geotechnical analysis of a complex geometry slope, which has previously been studied for several years. The terrain has occluded the data available from the ground or from permissible helicopter flight paths. Therefore, detailed information from the slope has not been previously available. The process of using a UAV to obtain these data sets, to develop a full 3D model of these areas of the slope is discussed, considering the accuracy and quality of the data available.
Skull Localization using Ultrasound for Navigated Neurosurgery
Authors: Underwood Grace 
Published: April 2021

Image-guided navigation for neurosurgery requires accurate localization of the skull. Localization can be problematic when the patient is in a facedown position. The posterior skull lacks unique identifiable landmarks, which complicates standard localization methods using a tracked pointer. In addition to the lack of anatomical landmarks, trying to access facial surfaces is error-prone when working under the table and problems arise with line-of-sight of the optical tracker. We proposed the use of ultrasound to perform localization and investigated the accuracy of this process. A simulation study was performed to test the feasibility of ultrasound for localization on a plastic skull. An initial localization, using an optically tracked pointer, was performed to partially align pre-operative images and the skull model. Skull surface points were localized by optically tracked ultrasound and used in a surface registration algorithm. Accuracy and reproducibility was then investigated. Evaluation of the proposed localization method found that the average distance of points off the skull surface was 0.6 ± 0.1mm, which meets the same standards set by current commercially available systems for face-up positions. Using tracked ultrasound for registration is feasible for patients in facedown position. We provided a non-invasive method of registration that could be accomplished using one optical tracking camera, and maintains a constant line-of-sight. This project was performed in cooperation with Dr. Gernot Kronreif and the Austrian Center for Medical Innovation and Technology. Dr. Kronreif and his staff are preparing for a clinical test of this localization process.
Etruscan Dance Culture as Represented in Tomb Paintings from the UNESCO Heritage Site in Tarquinia (Italy)
Authors: Morgan Anthea 
Published: April 2021

Karen Kain, recipient of the Companion of the Order of Canada and artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada, wrote an autobiography entitled Movement Never Lies referring to a truism about professional dance. The UNESCO heritage site of Tarquinia (Italy) featuring Etruscan tomb dance imagery has never been studied through Classical scholarship from the perspective of a professional dancer nor from the perspective of analysis of depiction of movement. The author of this presentation, a former dancer with the National Ballet of Canada (1986-1992) who is a Classics Major, has endeavoured to prove that examination of movement depiction can be used as evidence to provide insight into Etruscan culture. Methodology for the study is based on the premise that Etruscan dance representations of humans Ca. 2500 years ago and the techniques of the dancer of today reflect actions by the same species; therefore, a comparative is possible for the essence of the movement communicated.
Results of the study indicate that representation of the Etruscan dance language is realistic and stable, is organically derived, is immensely practical, and has unique features within the Mediterranean cultural milieu. This preliminary study highlights the possibility of using ancient Classical cultures as models and terms of comparison for better understanding aspects of modern societies. It is salient that in contemporary culture, woman and children are dying to dance (from eating disorders), while Etruscans seemed to be dancing to live or to become ambassadors for an afterlife indicated by the Etruscan models.
Exploring the Tinsel Prints of the Robertson Davies Collection
Authors: Zmijowskyj Ally 
Published: April 2021

Like modern baseball or hockey cards, tinsel prints were collectable images of famous
actors and actresses produced in nineteenth century England. They could be purchased as singles or in sets of six or four, in colour or in black and white from. The purchaser could buy bags of prepared tinsel decorations along with the prints making them customizable. Thus, after the tinseling process, no two prints would be identical. This study focuses on the tinsel prints in the Robertson Davies Collection held at the W.D. Jordan Rare Books and Special Collections Library at Queen’s University. This research was conducted at the beginning of the campaign to conserve and rehouse the tinsel prints in from the Canadian author and playwright Roberston Davies’ personal collection. Each print was studied to determine the actor featured, the role they portray, the play this character is from, and the place each print has in the larger collection. The
tinsel prints from the Robertson Davies Collection were also compared to tinsel prints in larger collections such as The Museum of London, The Victoria and Albert Museum, and The Folger Shakespeare Library, to assess the individuality of each print. The findings of this research formed the foundation of an Omeka based website to showcase the outcomes as well as high resolution pictures. This publically accessible platform allows for those outside the Queen’s community to explore the Robertson Davies Collection and further their own knowledge on 19th century English theatrical ephemera.
The Impact of Health Literacy and Numeracy on Post-Transplantation Outcomes in Organ Transplant Recipients
Authors: Zhu Mary 
Published: April 2021

Background: Patients referred for solid organ transplant with limited health literacy have been shown to be less likely to have access to transplantation. We examined the association between health literacy, health numeracy and post-transplant clinical outcomes (i.e. graft failure, non-adherence, readmissions, self-efficacy, or mortality).
Methods: A search of Medline for publications during the period January 1946 to July 2016 that examined health literacy, numeracy, and outcomes of transplant recipients. Titles and abstracts were independently examined by three reviewers for exclusion, and the full-text was then reviewed for inclusion.
Results: Of 247 citations, 12 met inclusion criteria including one review article and five randomized control trials (RCTs). Health literacy of recipients was measured using Newest Vital Sign (NVS) (n=2),
Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (STOHFLA) (n=2), Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM-T) (n=1), and other knowledge questionnaires (n=5). Level of formal education was also examined as an assay of health literacy (n=3). Post-transplant outcomes were assessed through medication adherence (n=4), skin cancer incidence (n=2), graft loss (n=1), recipient mortality (n=1), kidney function (n=1), health-related quality of life (n=1), and self-efficacy (n=1). Eleven citations found limited health literacy to be associated with adverse post-transplant clinical outcomes, and one citation found no association between health literacy and non-adherence. Health numeracy was not studied in any of the citations.
Conclusion: Health literacy is negatively associated with adverse post-transplant clinical outcomes. Future studies should analyze the association between health numeracy and clinical outcomes after transplant.
5. Determining Groundwater Inputs into High Arctic Lakes (Cape Bounty, Melville Island, NU)
Authors: Harasyn Maddie 
Published: April 2021

The focus of this research project is to determine the presence of groundwater seepage within two High Arctic lakes located in continuous permafrost on Melville Island, NU. Small isolated depressions were located at the bottom of each lake using bathymetric data – 21 in East and West Lake (unofficial names) combined. It was hypothesized that these depressions could be the sites of groundwater seepage into the lakes, and these locations then served as sample sites for CTD cast and water sample collection during the 2016 field season. Water chemistry and physical property data were used as indicators of groundwater seepage, as ground water would have properties similar to the source of the ground water, generating a change in water chemistry at each of these sites.
Ionic analysis has showed site specific change at the bottom of both lakes, related to the underlying bedrock structure. Ionic ratios for the northern sites differ from ratios of the rest of the sample sites, as well as the ambient water of each lake. This correlates with the meeting of two geologic units within both lake limits. Physical characteristic data showed no change within East Lake and a localized change within West Lake, represented as an increase in electrical conductivity and decrease in dissolved oxygen. These results suggest that highly localized groundwater seepage is likely occurring in these High Arctic lakes, and that water property influences to ground water may be even more highly localized.
11. What’s in a Loaf? A Bio-accessibility Study of Toxic Elements in Gluten-free and Rye Breads and the Effect of Toasting Bread on the Bio-accessibility of those Elements Using ICP-MS
Authors: Kierulf Alastair 
Published: April 2021

Bread is a staple in the North American diet with over 4 million tonnes consumed in the US annually. The popularity of breads made from alternative grains (such as rye, quinoa, and pumpernickel) and the increase in gluten free (GF) alternatives (made from a mixture of rice and other alternative grains) has significantly contributed to this growth[1] While the hunger for alternative breads is increasing, there is little research into the risks associated with consuming breads made from alternative grains. Studies[2] have shown that many grains can contain high levels of toxic elements, especially if they are grown in soils with high levels of these elements.
A previous study [3] investigated the risk associated with toxic elements in rice, and concluded that these elements are highly bio-accessible when the rice is not washed before processing. It is therefore extremely important to investigate the risk and bio-accessibility of toxic elements in these popular alternative breads.
Two different alternative breads were analyzed for their toxic element compositions, and the bio-accessibility of these elements was investigated. Results showed that the gluten free breads contained high concentrations of arsenic and selenium, and little to no levels of cadmium or lead. Rye bread, in comparison, contained little arsenic, cadmium, or selenium which was consistent with previous studies. Further work will investigate the effect of toasting and will also utilize an innovative online leaching method that significantly improves bio-accessibility results [3,4].

Genus Aconitum (Ranunculaceae) is represented by 6–8 species from Kashmir Himalaya. Traditionally Aconitum species are used to treat a wide array of diseases, but their ethnopharmacological validation and phytochemistry are hitherto unreported from Kashmir Himalaya. The present study was undertaken to bring insights into the traditional use and distribution pattern of three Aconitum species from the region. An ethnobotany-directed approach was employed to study the conservation status of three Aconitum species. Their phytochemical profiles and biological properties were screened under in vitro conditions. Folin–ciocalteu and Aluminium chloride assays were employed to measure their total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, respectively. Plant extracts were evaluated for antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Three Aconitum species, viz. Aconitum heterophyllum Wall. ex Royle, Aconitum violaceum Jacquem. ex Stapf and Aconitum chasmanthum Stapf. ex Holmes showed dwindling conservation status in Kashmir Himalaya. Aconitum extracts showed significant variations in total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Antioxidant activity of Aconitum chasmanthum methanolic extract was studied to be comparatively higher (80.115%). Aconitum chasmanthum DCM & methanolic extracts showed a good MIC value of 0.125 mg/ml against Candida albicans and Streptococus pyogenes, respectively. The percent inhibition of NLRP inflammasome was found significant in Aconitum violaceum ethyl acetate extract (74.61%). The present study revealed that Aconitum species are constantly declining at least in investigated habitats of Kashmir Himalaya and hence need strategic conservation planning. The results also emphasized the utility of Aconitum species as an antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent that could be used to manage various health problems.

Published: April 2021

Usaha pemanfaatan limbah kulit udang sampai saat ini belum maksimal, padahal dalam kulit udang terdapat senyawa yang sangat bermanfaat yaitu khitin. Kandungan khitin dalam kulit udang pada umumnya sekitar 20%. Khitin merupakan sumber polisakarida potensial dan mulai dikembangkan untuk aplikasi di bidang agrikultur, biomedis, farmasi, bioteknologi dan proses pemisahan dengan membran. Khitin adalah polimer alam sejenis polisakarida yang mempunyai berat molekul rata-rata 1,2.105 g/mol dan nama kimia 2 — Asetamida — 2 — deoksi — D — Glukopiranosa
Pada kulit udang, khitin bergabung dengan mineral dan protein dalam fasa padat. Untuk mendapatkan khitin maka campuran tersebut dipisahkan dengan cara ekstraksi dengan menggunakan pelarut cair (Ekstraksi Padat Cair). Pada proses ekstraksi ini terdapat reaksi demineralisasi dan reaksi deproteinasi. Kandungan mineral utama yang terdapat pada kulit udang adalah CaCO3, yang dapat dihilangkan dengan cara direaksikan dengan larutan HCI. Reaksi ini berjalan secara maksimum pada konsentrasi larutan HCI 1 M, temperatur operasi 70oC, waktu reaksi 1 jam.
Setelah proses demineralisasi, kulit udang tersebut diharapkan hanya mengandung protein dan khitin. Ekstraksi dilanjutkan ketahap deproteinasi untuk menghilangkan protein yang banyaknya sekitar 28%. Protein ini dapat dihilangkan dengan cara direaksikan dengan larutan NaOH. Reaksi berjalan secara maksimum pada konsentrasi larutan NaOH 4 M, temperatur operasi 70oC, waktu reaksi I jam. Setelah melalui proses tersebut maka didapatkan khitin dengan perolehan sekitar 17,5%.
