name: Turcotte, Kate
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Safe Kids Canada is the national injury prevention program of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. The mission of Safe Kids Canada is to prevent injuries by educating the public about injury prevention, and by working to create safer environments. Safe Kids Canada promotes injury prevention through a range of resources, services and initiatives including Safe Kids Week, an annual national safety campaign. The 2002 Safe Kids Week campaign, "Got Wheels? Get a Helmet!" focused on preventing injuries among kids on wheels (bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and in-line skates). The objective was to raise awareness among Canadian parents and change their behavior in relation to safety practices, particularly the use of helmets. This report is an evaluation of this event.

paralisar o tecido muscular, provocando o relaxamento e a perda da tonicidade do músculo. Visto seu mecanismo de ação, atualmente a toxina botulínica é amplamente utilizada em tratamentos estéticos, porém, diversos estudos mostraram a sua aplicabilidade em tratamentos não estéticos, como tratamentos de enxaqueca, bruxismo, entre outros. Assim, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é descrever os benefícios que a toxina botulínica trás para tratamentos estéticos.
BioExcel Webinar #20 - Adaptive resolution methods in soft matter simulations
Creators: name: Potestio, Raffaello
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: webinar

description: One of the most challenging aspects in the computational study of soft matter is its intrinsic multi-scale nature, that is, the fact that many relevant processes take place on a broad range of length and time scales. Their interplay often limit, and sometimes prevent, the usage of coarse-grained models, due to the lack of relevant chemical details. On the other hand, the large system sizes make it difficult if not impossible to employ a highly detailed yet computationally expensive atomistic representation.
 Dual resolution simulation methods aim at overcoming these limitations making use of different models with different resolution in a concurrent fashion, thereby employing a detailed description where strictly necessary, and an effective, coarse-grained model elsewhere.
 This seminar will provide an overview of the basic principles and techniques enabling this approach. Selected applications will be also presented, for cases of relevance in the field of biochemistry and protein science.

Do Single Stereoisomer Drugs Provide Value?
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 45 considers the value of single stereoisomer drugs. Stereoisomers are molecules with one or more “chiral” centres that allow the possibility of forms with the same chemical formula but differing spatial arrangements. The concept that a single enantiomer of a chiral drug may be preferable to a racemic mixture is intellectually appealing. However, in most instances this strategy has not been demonstrated to confer any clinical advantage.

description: This is the teaching material for the Drosophila module of the Developmental Genetics RSM (research skills module) held at the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health of The University of Manchester each year. This practical course runs over 6 days and is organised and supervised by Andreas Prokop. This module has been taught and optimised over a few years. Emphasis is on: 1) Drosophila as a model system in research 2) the use of fly genetics (transgenic approaches and mutations) in combination with histological techniques to study mechanisms of development 3) transferable skills including how to design figures and their legends, how to compose laboratory protocols and how to file data securely This module also shows how practical work can be intercalated with exercises on applied fly genetics, thus filling gaps in experimental protocols with useful activities, enriching the learning outcome and enhancing the fundamental understanding of Drosophila as a model organism. An e-assessment has been developed and is being successfully applied to assess larger numbers of students for their skills in applied fly genetics. This assessment and its principal strategies have been published in the G3 journal (see 3rd link below). Please, submit any comments in the comment box below or contact me directly: Andreas.Prokop@manchester. ac.uk Note, that a Powerpoint presentation "Roote+Prokop-SupplMat-3.ppt" is required on this module. It can be accessed from the second link below. It is also directly linked out from the two manuals in this resource.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: "Canadians are slowly becoming aware that the international agreements now being negotiated to govern trade in services could have massive and irreversible effects on their health care system. The overarching objective of "trade liberalization" motivating these agreements includes a quite specific and deliberate agenda of reducing the role of government, and extending that of private commercial activity in all sectors, including the provision of health care. The objective of this Conference was to provide participants with an overview of the key provisions of the various agreements NAFTA, GATS, FTAA currently in place or under negotiation. Speakers reviewed evidence to date on the impact of these agreements in areas related to health, and identified potential future risks to the Canadian health care system." -CHSPR website

Nonlinear characteristics of the surface air temperature over Canada

Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2016

description: Nonlinear characteristics of the Canadian surface air temperature (SAT) were investigated by applying a neural-network-based nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA) method to the SAT anomaly data for individual seasons. The SAT data were separated into three subsets: data for 1900–1949 and 1900–1995 over southern Canada (south of 60°N), called S0049 and S0095, respectively, and data for 1950–1995 over the entire country, called C5095. The NLPCA was computed for the three data sets separately. The leading NLPCA modes from C5095 and S0095 show similar results: the nonlinearity is strong in winter (December, January, and February, DJF) and fall (September, October, and November, SON), but is much weaker in spring (March, April and May, MAM) and summer (June, July, and August, JJA), manifesting the seasonal dependence of the nonlinearity in the Canadian SAT. No significant nonlinearity is detected from data set S0049, even for the winter and fall seasons, indicating interdecadal dependence of the nonlinearity. The leading NLPCA mode combines the effects of Pacific-North America (PNA) pattern and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the Canadian winter SAT. A possible reason for the existence of nonlinearity in the winter SAT only after 1950 is that the NAO manifested its strong negative phase from the 1950s to the early 1970s.

description: Patients with cirrhotic ascites (PCA) are susceptible to spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) which
has increased morbidity and mortality. Since some host defense aspects of peritoneal macrophages (PMv) from
PCA are altered this study examined factors related to receptor-mediated phagocytosis. Methods: Twelve PCA were
studied. PMɸ were isolated from ascitic fluid (AF) samples removed from these patients. Uptake of mannose re-
ceptor (MR)-specific ligand, fluorescein isothiocyanate-mannosylated-bovine serum albumin (FITC-man-BSA),
by patients' PMɸ and controls, a human monocytic cell line, was measured pre- and post-IL-4 treatment. Phago-
cytosis of FITC-labeled yeast particles by patients' PMɸ was measured pre- and post-IL-4 treatment. Fluorescence
values were obtained using a spectrofuorometer. MRC1 gene was analyzed in blood samples from PCA and con-
trols, healthy donors, using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Results: Past SBP episode(s)
were reported in 58.3% of patients. Mean AF volume analyzed per patient was 1.3L. PMɸ ratio in cell yield was
53.73% (SD 18.1). Mean uptake absorbance of patients' PMv was 0.0841 (SD 0.077) compared to 0.338
(SD 0.34) of controls, P = 0.023. Following IL-4 treatment absorbance increased to 0.297 (SD 0.28) in patients'
PMv (P = 0.018 on paired sample t-test), and to 0.532 (SD 0.398 in controls (P = 0.053 on independent sample
t-test). Mean phagocytosis absorbance of patients' PMv was 0.1250 (SD 0.032) before IL-4 treatment compared
to 0.2300 (SD 0.104) after (P = 0.026). PCR analysis for MRC1 gene was negative in all PCA samples compared to
positive results in all controls. Conclusion: Since decreased phagocytosis and MR uptake were enhanced post-IL-4
treatment MR downregulation pre-treatment is plausible. Negative PCR results for MRC1 might suggest an anom-
aly, but this awaits further ellucidation. These altered host defense findings are relevant to infection pathophys-
iology, and their relevance to SBP susceptibility in PCA is worth verifying.

description: Background: Cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP) represent comprehensive interventions that are typically limited to four months. Following completion of CRP, it appears that risk factors and lifestyle behaviours may deteriorate. The Extensive Lifestyle Management Intervention (ELMI) Following Cardiac Rehabilitation trial will investigate the benefits of a randomized intervention to prevent these adverse changes. Methods: Patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) were randomized following a standard CRP to the ELMI or to usual care. The ELMI program is a case-managed intervention aimed at individualizing risk factor and lifestyle management based on current treatment guidelines. The program consists of cardiac rehabilitation sessions, telephone follow-up and risk factor and lifestyle counselling sessions. Health professionals work with participants using behavioural counselling and communications with participants' family physicians. Usual care participants return to their family physicians' care, and come to the study clinic only to undergo annual outcomes assessment. The primary outcome is change in IHD global risk after four years. Secondary outcomes include combined cardiovascular events, health care utilization, lifestyle adherence, quality of life and risk factors. Results: Over 28 months, 302 men and women were randomized. This represented 29% of the total population screened. The average age of study participants is 64 years, 18% are women, 53% have had a previous myocardial infarction, 73% have undergone previous revascularization and 20% have diabetes mellitus. Ischemic heart disease risk factors for the entire cohort improved significantly after subjects had gone through previous CRPs. Baseline risk factors, lifestyle behaviours and medications were similar between the groups. Conclusions: This study population is representative of patients completing a standard CRP. Results of the ELMI trial will provide valuable information for the future design of CRPs.

description: Clover and lemongrass essential oils of contrasting composition, at three concentration levels (1%, 5%, 10%), were administrated via prophylactic and therapeutic inhalation to scopolamine-treated mice. Chemical analysis showed that clover oil was dominant in eugenol (47.69%) and lemongrass free of eugenol but mainly containing monoterpenoids of comparable proportions. Animal behavioural and brain biochemical tests showed that injection of scopolamine caused memory and learning deficit in mice while prophylactic and therapeutic inhalation of two oils at moderate to high concentrations all obviously reversed the cognitive impairment via inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activities, oxidation and inflammation. Lemongrass essential oil with diverse monoterpenoids can be as effective as or a little bit more potent than eugenol-rich clover essential oil possibly due to the synergistic effect of various monoterpenoids. These findings implied that sniffing of such aroma recipes could be a promising complementary approach for the mitigation of Alzheimer’s disease-related cognitive impairment.

description: The discovery of natural molecules with antimicrobial properties has become an urgent need for the global treatment of bacterium and virus infections. Cistus incanus, a Mediterranean shrub species, represents a valuable source of phytochemicals with an interesting wide-spectrum antimicrobial potential. In this study, we analysed the spectrum of molecules composing a commercial hydroalcoholic extract of C. incanus finding ellagitannins as the most abundant. The effect of the extract and its main constituents (gallic acid, ellagic acid and punicalin) was assessed as co-treatment during viral (HSV-1, HCoV-229E, SARS-CoV-2) and bacterial infection (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) of cells and as pre-treatment before virus infections. The results indicated a remarkable antiviral activity of punicalin against SARS-CoV-2 by pre-treating both the viral and the host cells, and a major sensitivity of S. aureus to the C. incanus extract compared to E. coli. The present study highlights broad antimicrobial potential of C. incanus extract.

In this blog post, we ponder how to use generative AI to enhance creativity at the university.
Irreversible investment, real options and competition : evidence from real estate development

description: We examine 1,214 condominium developments in Vancouver, Canada between 1979-1998 to identify the extent to which uncertainty delays investment. We find that increases in both idiosyncratic and systematic risk lead developers to delay new real estate investments. Empirically, a one-standard deviation increase in the return volatility reduces the hazard rate of investment by 13 percent, equivalent to a 9 percent decline in real prices. Increases in the number of potential competitors located near a project negates the negative relationship between idiosyncratic risk and development. These results support the argument that competition erodes option values and provide clear evidence for the real options model of investment under uncertainty over alternatives such as simple risk aversion.

description: This thesis responds to a call from Michael Billig for academic work examining the appearance of banal nationalism in popular culture (1995). The study is strongly informed by the process of imagining nations identified by Benedict Anderson (1991). It also draws on work by Edward Said (1978) and Stuart Hall (1997). The method and form of imagining and representing nations in The Simpsons is established and analysed. The dominant presence of the United States is also addressed. It is argued that there are evident and inherent politics of exclusion in the practice of representing nations, and this practice extends to The Simpsons as it does to other media. This paper establishes seven elements of nation that can be found in The Simpsons: name; flag; territory/place; gastronomy; national days; historical events; and national institutions. These elements are mapped through a detailed content analysis supplemented by a structuralist discourse analysis.

Year: 2012

description: El gallo es, después de la paloma y la lechuza, el ave más representada en la obra de Picasso y, como en estos dos casos, se le atribuyen valores simbólicos consagrados en su mayoría por la tradición. En este artículo repasamos la simbología de esta emblemática ave desde la Antigüedad clásica grecolatina, pasando por el mundo cristiano, hasta la Edad Media y el Renacimiento, sirviéndonos sobre todo de las fuentes literarias.

Institutional features of Canadian real estate

description: Despite Canada’s small number of urban centers, trying to generalize to a “Canadian” real estate market is challenging. The country’s political and economic institutions accentuate clear regional differences. Relative to other countries with federal systems, Canadian provinces are especially powerful. The economies of British Columbia (Vancouver), Alberta (Calgary and Edmonton), Ontario (Ottawa and Toronto), and Quebec (Montreal) are driven by very different factors. For British Columbia, these are forestry and resource extraction, tourism, and trade with Asia. For Alberta, it is oil and gas drilling and exploration. Key sectors in Ontario are auto and auto parts manufacturing, high tech and finance. And in Quebec it is diversified manufacturing and forestry. High tech is also a presence in Vancouver and Calgary but in different areas. This chapter focuses on the institutional framework in the four principal Canadian real estate markets, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

description: For modern people, kingship belongs to the misty realms of ancient history, or theatrical presentations of British monarchs such as Victoria, Elizabeth, or even King Henry VIII. But kings and their kingdoms permeate the pages of Scripture from the small warring kings of Genesis 14 with whom Abraham fought to the empire-wide authority of such figures as Ashurbanipal and Nebuchadnezzar to maniacal despots such as Antiochus Epiphanes IV and King Herod the Great. We must look closely at the role of kings in the ancient world to understand our Bible and the hope we maintain for the kingdom of God. In this paper, we will look at Psalm 2, one of the great royal, Messianic psalms. We will look at it within its cognitive environment and the practices of ancient Near Eastern kingship.

Post Fire Resprouting of Banisteriopsis malifolia(Malpighiaceae) and the Role of Extrafloral Nectaries on the Associated Ant Fauna in a Brazilian Savanna
Creators: name: Estevao Alves Silva
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Ecology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: According to the plant vigor hypothesis, herbivores are favored by the growth of rapid resprouting plants, however in plants with extrafloral nec-taries not the herbivores, but rather patrolling ants would be favored. This ant-plant interaction may have a negative impact on herbivore populations,
thus benefiting the plant. In this study I showed that the ant community as-sociated with the extrafloral nectary-bearing shrub Banisteriopsis malifolia
in Brazilian savanna is composed of six species in four subfamilies and these ants were more abundant in resprouting B. malifoliaindicating a relation of
ants with functional extrafloral nectaries. As a consequence the number of herbivores sampled was low, because of the ants’ aggressive behavior. This work provides evidence that the effects of plant vigor are buffered in extrafloral nectary-bearing plants because of the patrolling ants which feed on sugar-rich nectar and protect the plant against invaders.

Subjects: Acute Weight Loss, Acute İllness, Weight, Acute Gastritis, Diarrhoea.

description: Abstract

BACKGROUND: Children with emergency situations require immediate resuscitation and lifesaving interventions. Unlike adults, medications, fluids, equipment sizes and drug dosages used among paediatric patient is based on weight; even small changes in weight produce significant impact, especially in administering drugs with lower window of safety. This study was done to assess the extent of weight loss produced by different acute illnesses when compared with normal children. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To assess the extent of weight loss produced by different acute illnesses in paediatric population 1 to 10 years old. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Saveetha Medical college, during the time period June- December 2023. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Children with acute illness visiting the health facility were recruited by convenience sampling. Basic demographic details like name, age, gender, standard from the parents. Patients actual weight was taken by digital weighing scale, prior to measurement, the footwear and heavy clothings were removed. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Descriptive analysis was carried out by mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables, frequency and proportion for categorical variables. All Quantitative variables were checked for normal distribution within each category of explanatory variable by using visual inspection of histograms and normality Q-Q plots. Shapiro- wilk test conducted to assess normal distribution and p value of >0.05 was considered as normal. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. IBM SPSS version 26 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The mean actual weight in kg, with the children is having gastritis with pre admission weight of 35 ± 0, post admission weight of 32.80 ± 0.42 between two weight was statistically significant (P value<0.001). There was a very strong positive correlation between Actual Weight in kg with the children with gastritis pre admission and post admission. CONCLUSION: Significant difference in weight (loss/gain) was noticed in some acute illness, especially acute gastritis.
