Emergency Salbutomal Inhaler
Authors: Hill Matthew 
Published: April 2021

Asthma is thought by most to be a benign health issue, but the statistics say otherwise. In Canada there are over 146 000 emergency room visits and 500 deaths each year from asthma. An estimated 80% are preventable. These hospital visits cost the Canadian government over $135 million a year. A solution is needed and that solution is the Emergency Salbutomal Inhaler. I have designed a small, easy­to­carry, two­ dose, dry­powder asthma inhaler, with patent pending. The device can easily be attached to a keychain or necklace for carrying ease, and will be quickly accessible in the event of an asthma attack. When an asthmatic has an attack and goes to a hospital, they are given a maximum of 2 doses of the rescue drug Salbutomal. The device carries two doses. Thus, in a sense I have invented a hospital on a keychain for asthmatics. During an asthma attack there is no time to fumble with an inhaler; my easy­to­use design ensures relief will be provided.
Implementing a Successful Sustainability Plan at Queen’s University
Authors: Anderson Blake 
Published: April 2021

Over the past decade universities from around the world have begun recognizing their need and responsibility to incorporate sustainable ideals into their teaching practices and daily operations. This same recognition has taken place at Queen’s University where over the past several years a sustainability movement has been gathering momentum. Individuals from every stakeholder group are beginning to explore how Queen’s can implement a successful campus wide sustainability plan. It is however unclear how exactly this commitment should be approached. In spite of the large number of universities making similar commitments there appears to be no ‘cookie cutter’ model for success. Every university has its own unique challenges and opportunities that must be addressed early in the planning phases. By combining the lessons learned at other institutions of higher education with the challenges and opportunities at Queen’s this paper lays out a strategy for how Queen’s should approach sustainability.
Examining Ethnic Differences in the Relationship Between Perfectionism and Emotional Adjustment
Authors: Ling Lucille Fay 
Published: April 2021

Perfectionists are people who set excessively high standards for their own performance, adhere to these standards rigidly, and define their self ­worth in terms of achieving these standards. Research has shown that perfectionism is linked with emotional and psychological maladjustment. This study is aimed at examining potential differences in perfectionism and emotional adjustment across two ethnic groups: Caucasian and Asian. Previous literature has shown that Eastern cultures are more self ­criticizing than
Western cultures, thus we may expect to see differences in perfectionism across these two cultures.
Also, researchers have found that individuals from Eastern cultures may manifest depression in physical symptoms (e.g., headaches) while individuals from Western cultures may express depression in more emotional symptoms (eg, sadness). Thus, differences in how Asians and Caucasians express their emotional maladjustment will be examined.
Finally, acculturation may be an important factor because perfectionism in a Western context may have more adverse consequences than in an Eastern context. Method:Asian and Caucasian undergraduate students completed self ­report measures of perfectionism, emotional adjustment, and acculturation. Expected results: First, we expect that Asians will score higher than Caucasians on perfectionism measures. Secondly, there will be a positive correlation between perfectionism and poor emotional adjustment. Thirdly, emotional adjustment will be expressed more physically in Asians and more emotionally in Caucasians. Finally, within the Asian group, level of acculturation will moderate the relationship between perfectionism and emotional maladjustment. Discussion: These results will be discussed in terms of how perfectionism is conceptualized, assessed, and treated.
Experiences of Belonging in Engineering Undergraduate Education at Queen’s
Authors: Buitenhuis Amy 
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study is to explore the role that the engineering undergraduate degree plays in the socialization process of professional engineers. I will look at how exclusion is normalized through undergraduate education. To do this, I will analyze the history and content of the Iron Ring Ceremony. This ceremony has symbolic significance to engineering students as it marks the completion of the undergraduate degree. It is also a ceremony unique to Canada, which will provide insights into the engineering profession in the Canadian context. I will also conduct interviews with 12 graduates of the Queen's undergraduate engineering program to gain insights into how engineering undergraduate education plays a role in shaping engineering identities. I will use my findings regarding the Iron Ring Ceremony to understand feelings of belonging and patterns of exclusion and inclusion throughout undergraduate engineering education.
Using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) to Record and Interpret Weathered Tombstones in the Cataraqui Cemetery
Authors: McCutcheon Sarah 
Published: April 2021

Once our history is lost, what can be done to recover it? The information provided on tombstones is an important source for historians and genealogists but is easily lost as many tombstones are weathered or damaged over the course of decades of exposure to the elements. For many, tombstones are the only record that survives which is why it is important to collect its information. Last year a project was run in order to record degrading tombstones at the Cataraqui Cemetery in Kingston, Ontario using Reflectance Transformation Imaging which is a more cost-effective technique compared to other methods and the results are easily read by laypeople. This technique produced a clear image of the inscriptions which areno longer visible to the naked eye. However, where the damage was too extensive archival data was used to fill in the missing pieces. Thus in some cases a full record can be recovered of the tombstone’s inscription through a combination of research and imaging. This pilot project has demonstrated RTI as a potent technique to record local heritage and preserve genealogical information that would be otherwise lost to the ravages of time.
The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 Ion Channel in Hypometabolic Response to Hypoxia
Authors: Foo Brian 
Published: April 2021

When challenged with low levels of available oxygen (hypoxia), larger mammals, including humans, attempt to maintain a consistent oxygen supply by increasing their rate of respiration. Smaller rodents and newborn mammals, on the other hand, respond to hypoxia by curtailing oxygen consumption. This latter process (hypoxic hypometabolism) involves actively regulated reductions in both metabolic rate and body temperature (3; 4; 9). Despite more than 50 years of investigation, the molecular mechanisms of this intriguing process are still unclear. Recently, the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor (best known for its response to capsaicin) has been implicated in the regulation of body temperature (5). Evidence includes the ability of TRPV1 receptor agonists and antagonists to lower and raise body temperature respectively (6; 7), as well as a demonstrated site of action within thehypothalamus (the area of the brain responsible for the regulation of body temperature) (1; 2). Based on the parallel but separately identified roles of hypoxia and TRPV1 in controlling body temperature, we reasoned that the TRPV1 ion channel may be implicated in hypoxia-induced alterations in body temperature. This present study investigates the potential involvement of the TRPV1 ion channel in hypoxia mediated hypothermia by comparing the hypoxic responses of wild-type mice and transgenetic knockout animals lacking a functional TRPV1 gene. We hypothesize that the TRPV1 knockout animals will show a blunted hypothermic response to hypoxic challenge.
Subunit compositions of GABAA receptors determining the diversity of physiological processes and neurotropic properties of medicines
Authors: Golovenko M.Ya. 
Published: April 2021

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) became known as a potentially important chemical in the brain 50 years ago, but its significance as a neurotransmitter was fully found 16 years later. It is now known that at least 40 % of the inhibitory synaptic activity in the mammalian brain is accounted for by GABA.
Аim. To analyze achievements in the study of the physiological and pharmacological role of GABA receptor subtypes, their potential applications in drug development and updated information on the clinical development of subtype-selective GABA receptor compounds.
Results. The GABAA-receptor complex (GABA-RC) is ligand-gated ion channels with chloride conductance. These receptors contain α, β, and γ subunits, but δ, ε, θ, and ρ can be also present. The GABA binding site is located at the interface between α and β subunits where a number of important amino acids are also found. GABA-RC is sensitive to a wide range of drugs, e.g. benzodiazepines (BDZ), which are often used for their sedative/hypnotic and anxiolytic effects. Classical BDZ interact non-selectively with α1,3,5 βγ2 GABA-RС in the binding site located at the α+γ− interface.
Conclusions. In addition to the potent and rapid pharmacotherapeutic action BDZ also possess some addictive potential (drug dependence), which appears after the interaction of molecules with α1-receptors. Using the selective targeting to separate subgroups not only the main effect of BDZ without side effects can be provided, but also one can use this approach in creating new analgesic medicines; we have demonstrated it on the example of propoxazepam (full agonist GABA-R).

Chlorhexidine is an effective cationic antiseptic and disinfectant that has been used in medical practice for decades. It is generally recommended to use different concentrations of aqueous or alcoholic solutions of chlorhexidine for different therapeutic purposes.
Objective. To determine the proportions of different chlorhexidine concentrations in medicines purchased by state and municipal organizations and to identify possible issue of chlorhexidine formulations utilization in the suboptimal or insufficient concentrations.
Results. The vast majority of the chlorhexidine-containing medicines found in the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine are 0.05% solutions for external use, 0.05% gels for dental and urological use and vaginal suppositories (pessaries) with 16 mg of chlorhexidine in one dose. While the most common representatives of chlorhexidine-containing medicines abroad are solutions with a concentration of 4% and 2%, as well as mouthwashes with a concentration of 0.12%. The highest share - 96% - among the procurements of chlorhexidine-containing medicines by state and municipal organizations is 0.05% aqueous solution for external use. Instructions for medical use of 0.05% aqueous chlorhexidine solution for external use contain indications that are not supported by international documents: WHO Model List of Essential Medicines and British National Formulary.
Conclusions. The obtained results suggest probable cases of irrational use of chlorhexidine medicines in medical practice in Ukraine. The consequences of such cases are not limited to the failure to achieve therapeutic goals or to the development of nosocomial infection, but includes also the selection of chlorhexidine-resistant strains of microorganisms.

Authors: Karpushyna S. A. , Baiurka S. V. , Merzlikin S. I. 
Published: April 2021

When determining the cause of poisoning by antidepressant drugs, the data of laboratory toxicological studies of biofluids for the presence of this group of drugs are of key importance.
Aim. To develop the methods for determining the antidepressant drug trazodone in the blood and urine samples using high-performance liquid chromatography with a UV spectrophotometric detection, which is suitable for analytical diagnosis of the thymoleptics intoxications.
Materials and methods. The model samples of human biofluids spiked with trazodone were studied. The antidepressant was isolated from the blood and urine by the liquid-liquid extraction with methylene chloride from the alkaline medium at pH 9. Concomitant endogenous impurities were removed by extraction with diethyl ether from the acidic medium at pH 1. In the study of the blood the erythrocyte mass was pre-precipitated with the help of 10 % of trichloroacetic acid solution. Chromatographic analysis was performed on a microcolumn chromatograph using a column with a reversed-phase of C18.
Results. The absolute retention time of trazodone in extracts from the model samples of biofluids was 17.91±0.09 min. The quantitative content of trazodone was determined at 250 nm by the calibration dependence of the chromatographic peak area on the concentration (μg/ml) y=(1.74∙10-3±1∙10-5)x. Under the indicated extraction conditions, 35±4 % and 78±4 % of trazodone were isolated from the blood and urine, respectively.
Conclusions. The methods of trazodone isolation from the biofliuds by liquid extraction followed by the determination of the drug by high performance liquid chromatography with a multiwave UV spectrophotometric detection have been developed. The methods are recommended for using in the practice of forensic and clinical toxicology.
