A Novel Mechanism of Inflammation in the Esophagus
Authors: Mulder Daniel 
Published: April 2021

The esophagus, long considered an inactive bystander in the digestive tract, is now known to be involved in monitoring food intake by various mechanisms. This active observation can lead to various disease states, one of which is esophagitis, that is, inflammation of the esophagus. Esophagitis can have various causes. One culprit appears to be the presence and activation of white blood cells called eosinophils in the esophagus. This study proposed that eosinophils release a chemical known as major basic protein (MBP) that causes esophageal inflammation. Experiments involving a living cell model of the lining of the esophagus and biopsies taken from pediatric patients confirmed this mechanism. Specifically, gene induction and gene silencing experiments confirmed that a cellular receptor in the esophagus binds to the MBP that is released from eosinophils. Further restitution and proliferation experiments suggest that certain genes, when induced by MBP stimulate growth and migration of the cells that line the esophagus.

Feeding Our Affinities: Looking for Alternatives to Food Security in a World of Unsustainable Global Agribusiness
Authors: Zavitz Richard 
Published: April 2021

This focus of this undergraduate thesis is how alternatives to industrialized agriculture are necessary given that current global agribusiness is unsustainable and susceptible to collapse. My presentation will explore the social logic of alternative forms of food security and how the emerging interrelationships affect the development of these alternatives. The presentation begins with a brief description of how global agribusiness functions and why it is unsustainable. In an effort of making my research as relevant to this issue as possible, I construct a theoretical base which underscores the commonalities between food security and relevant social and political theory. The rest of my presentation focuses on three alternative forms of food security: small­scale markets, urban agriculture and intentional communities. This continuum is a way of arranging the aforementioned alternatives into a way in which the relationships between the alternatives can be comprehensively studied in an accessible manner. Throughout this part of the presentation, I identify some of the practices and events in both the Kingston area and academic literature which highlight the currency of my theoretical base and arguments. Small­scale markets are introduced as a progressive involution from global agribusiness towards more sustainable forms of food security. Urban agriculture is embodied in the ways individuals and groups attempt to grow their food within seemingly uninviting urban environments, occurring through three interrelated practices: household gardening, community gardening and guerrilla gardening. The last of the explored alternatives, intentional communities, are developed as self­sustaining means of independence from outside forces.
Educating the Heart: Fostering Hope Through Theatre in the AIDS Crisis in South Africa
Authors: Ward Meghan 
Published: April 2021

With approximately 5.3 million people living with HIV/AIDS, South Africa has the highest HIV­ prevalence rate in the world. HIV tends to strike the most vulnerable people in society, and is often associated with high risk behaviours, which inevitably leads to stigmatization. Through an integration of theatre and development theory, I propose to investigate the potential of using theatre as a community event that raises awareness of collective issues and that offers new hope to people living with HIV. I suggest that theatre can educate the heart and put a human face on HIV/AIDS, thus catalyzing a healing process at the community level. By targeting township youth, those who are currently driving the virus, an interactive theatre style, such as participatory methodology, can effectively move beyond didactic education. In participatory theatre, the target group is incorporated into the theatrical representation of their circumstances through the performance of personal testimonies associated with HIV. Here, the power of theatre lies in its ability to produce individual reactions in the audience, which ultimately result in a collective experience and elevated consciousness through the discussion that ensues. The community is thus empowered to engage in a new ap
proach to HIV/AIDS. Can such a performance prevent further infections by exposing the consequences and realities of living with AIDS? While a test­case would be ideal in the affirmation of these ideas, I hope to bring a new approach to community theatre through a combination of theories from both theatre and international development studies.
Identity Propagan da: An Examination of Native Estonian and Canadi an Estonian Art Practices in Response to the Soviet Occupation
Authors: Keelmann Lehti Mairike 
Published: April 2021

The response to the Soviet Occupation in Estonia was arguably one of the strongest examples of nationalism in our modern day.
This nationalism was expressed in many ways, but became a lasting symbol in the art leading up to and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This presentation examines the relationship artists in Estonia had with the stirrings of nationalism which occurred during the latter half of the Soviet Occupation, as well as the response of some of the artists belonging to the largest group of
Estonians outside Estonia in Canada. Both sets of artists offer compelling examples of nationalism with a nostalgic return to folk art; this proves to be interesting when looking at the case of emerging multiculturalism in both Canada and Estonia.
Some of the artists discussed include members of The Society of Estonian Artists in Toronto (E.K.K.T.), as well as three prominent late ­Soviet Estonian women artists­ Kaja Karner, Aili Vint, and Karin Luts.
From “Bringing up Good Children” to “Making a Difference in the World": Examining Gender, Motherhood, and Career in a Century of Girl Guide Manuals
Authors: Pagotto Sabina 
Published: April 2021

You’ve eaten their cookies and heard their campfire songs and seen the sashes full of badges. But have you ever thought about which badges girls are asked to earn, and why? In light of the 100th anniversary of the Girl Guides of Canada in 2010, this presentation questions previous interpretations of the organization’s history. Gender historians have long considered Guiding to be a bastion of prescriptive femininity, citing the organization’s stated aim of teaching girls womanliness. Meanwhile, historians focusing on the Boy Scout movement have placed Scouting’s genesis within the context of a crisis of masculinity, leaving no space for a discourse of femininity and writing Guiding off as Scouting’s uninteresting younger sister. A closer look reveals the situation to be far more complex. Through the analysis of a representative sample of Guide manuals, handbooks, and program books throughout the twentieth century, and drawing on research done about Girl Guides in the UK, this presentation seeks to complicate both the movement’s historic origins and its relationship with traditional femininity. Topics examined include the imperialist origins of Guiding and Scouting, the influence of the Baden-Powell family over Guiding manuals, the use of historical Canadian heroines in Guide manuals, the manuals’ mixed messages about gender roles and future careers, the evolution of Guiding over the course of the twentieth century, and the Girl Guides of Canada’s pro-feminist redefinition in the early 1990s. The presentation contends that Guiding in fact had a complex and nuanced relationship with gender, motherhood, and career options.

The scope of homoeopathy in improving the quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease: A case series
Authors: Dandoti Mehvish Haris , Kapse Anand Ramchandra 
Published: April 2021

Objectives:
Lifestyle disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases eventually affect the kidneys, often causing renal failure. The current gold standard methods for managing renal failure are renal replacement therapy and haemodialysis. Unfortunately, dialysis deteriorates the patient’s quality of life (QOL). Homoeopaths rarely treat cases with such advanced irreversible pathology; the scope of homoeopathy in such cases is, therefore, unclear. We observed the effect of homoeopathy as an adjuvant on the QOL in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The QOL was assessed using the Marathi version of the Kidney Disease QOL Short Form 1.3 (KDQOL SF version 1.3).

Materials and Methods:
Three Indian patients with ESRD (two men and one woman, individualized ages 38, 50 and 54 years) consented to have their data published. The cases were managed with constitutional homoeopathic remedies in the 50 millesimal (LM) potency as an adjuvant to their current allopathic medications and were observed for 6 months. They were assessed with the Marathi version of the KDQOL SF 1.3 before and after homoeopathic management along with regular haemodialysis.

Results:
The patients showed significant improvements in the QOL, especially in the areas of sleep, pain, symptoms and problems, cognitive functioning, emotional well-being and social functioning, as assessed based on the increase in scores in their respective domains.

Conclusion:
The results of the observations are promising and in concurrence with homoeopathic philosophy; the benefits of constitutional medicines were seen. All three patients showed an improvement in their QOL. However, studies with larger sample size and randomised controlled trial study design are suggested. Homoeopathic constitutional treatment has a significant impact on the QOL in patients with ESRD.
Ruptured cerebral aneurysms in COVID-19 patients: A review of literature with case examples
Authors: Fiani Brian , Fowler James B. , Figueras Ryan Arthur , Hessamian Keon , Mercado Nathan , Vukcevich Olivia , Singh Manpreet Kaur 
Published: April 2021

Background:
The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is responsible for over 83 million cases of infection and over 1.8 million deaths since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because COVID-19 infection is associated with a devastating mortality rate and myriad complications, it is critical that clinicians better understand its pathophysiology to develop effective treatment. Cumulative evidence is suggestive of cerebral aneurysms being intertwined with the hyperinflammatory state and hypercytokinemia observed in severe COVID-19 infections.

Case Description:
In case example 1, the patient presents with chills, a mild cough, and sore throat. The patient develops high-grade fever of 39.8° C, decreased oxygen saturation of 93% on room air, and an extensive spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the basal cisterns from a ruptured left posterior communicating artery aneurysm. In case example 2, the patient presents with a positive PCR test for COVID-19 2 weeks prior with spontaneous SAH and found to have a large multilobulated bulbous ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. Both patients’ symptoms and high-grade fever are consistent with hypercytokinemia and a hyperinflammatory state, with elevated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, inducible protein-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, M1P1A, and tumor necrosis factor-α inflammatory mediators found to be elevated in COVID-19 intensive care unit admissions.

Conclusion:
COVID-19 effect on cerebral aneurysms requires future studies to clearly delineate correlation, however, hypercytokinemia and a hyperinflammatory state are strongly implicated to cause degenerative vascular changes that may predispose patients to cerebral aneurysm formation, change in size or morphology, and resultant aneurysm rupture.

Published: April 2021

Background:
The treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEHs), depending on the lesion size and myeloradicular involvement, can be surgical or conservative. Here, we present a 55-year-old patient who sustained a SSEH several months following a systemic SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Case Description:
A 55-year-old immunocompromised female (i.e., history 17 years ago of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, nodular sclerosis variant) recently developed a SARS-CoV-2 infection treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. She then reported the sudden onset of cervicodorsalgia after a slight cervical flexion/extension maneuver. The brain and cervicothoracic spine MRI studies documented a clival anterior spinal epidural hematoma with maximum spinal compression at the T1-T2 level; it also extended inferiorly to the T6 level. Two weeks later, the follow-up MRI showed a remarkable reduction in the anteroposterior diameter of the hematoma that correlated with significant neurological improvement and almost complete pain regression. She was discharged after a total 15-day hospital stay, with complete symptoms relief.

Conclusion:
We present a 55-year-old chronically immunocompromised (i.e., due to the history of Hodgkin’s lymphoma) female who, following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, developed an anterior SSEH extending from the clivus to the T6 spinal level that spontaneously regressed without surgical intervention.

Roadblocks to intercultural mobility: Indigenous students' journeys in Colombian universities
Authors: Valencia José Aldemar Álvarez , Wagner Manuela 
Published: April 2021

Every year, students from different indigenous communities in Colombia set out on a journey to higher education. Although previous research has looked into students’ challenges at university, there is still the need to understand indigenous students’ mobility trajectories in terms of how they come to grips with the new material, semiotic, and symbolic realities they face upon leaving their reservations. In this conceptual paper, we provide a discussion of research in mobility, critical intercultural dialogue, and critical pedagogy to answer the question, “How can conceptualizations of mobility and critical interculturality shed light on our understanding of indigenous students’ experiences at public universities?” We combine the concept of mobility with elements from a decolonial, critical intercultural view, and critical intercultural pedagogies. We conclude that mobility trajectories are highly marked by placed-based identities that connect students to their territories. Students contest processes of symbolic deterritorialization and deculturation by engaging in forms of re-contextualization and material and symbolic rearrangements of university sites which allows them to embody and enact their identities. We end the article with principles and strategies proposed in culturally sustaining pedagogies and other critical intercultural pedagogies which have significant potential to facilitate indigenous students’ intercultural mobility on university campuses.
