description: Modulatory effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) depend on the activity of the stimulated cortical area before, during, and even after application. In the present study, we investigated the effects of theta burst stimulation (TBS) on visual cortex excitability using phosphene threshold (PTs). In a between-group design either continuous or intermittent TBS was applied with 100% of individual PT intensity. We varied visual demand following stimulation in form of high demand (acuity task) or low demand (looking at the wall). No change of PTs was observed directly after TBS. We found increased PTs only if subjects had high visual demand following continuous TBS. With low visual demand following stimulation no change of PT was observed. Intermittent TBS had no effect on visual cortex excitability at all. Since other studies showed increased PTs following continuous TBS using subthreshold intensities, our results highlight the importance of stimulation intensity applying TBS to the visual cortex. Furthermore, the state of the neurons in the stimulated cortex area not only before but also following TBS has an important influence on the effects of stimulation, making it necessary to scrupulously control for activity during the whole experimental session in a study.
title: A Multiple Case Study of Music Therapists' Perceptions of Vocal Health
Creators: name: Rush, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: FOS: Arts (arts, history of arts, performing arts, music)

description: As professional voice users, music therapists should be aware of their vocal health and the risks for developing vocal problems through habitual vocal use. Vocal abuse refers to vocal activities such as yelling, singing with poor technique, and shouting which cause the laryngeal mechanism to not function optimally. Although many music therapists are at risk for vocal abuse, to my knowledge, no researchers have looked at how music therapists are using their voices. The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand music therapists’ perceptions of their vocal health and vocal health training. I used a multiple case study design to develop a deeper understanding of vocal training that music therapists have had in the past, their current perception of their vocal health, and factors that facilitate and inhibit their vocal health. The participants were five board-certified music therapists (MT-BC) who had either worked in their current position for at least three years or had worked with the population they currently serve for three or more years. Although the clinical settings where participants worked varied (e.g., schools, inpatient hospital, clinics, and private practice), all five participants worked in Kentucky. Participants took part in one in-person semi-structured interview, completed a vocal health diary for five workdays, and responded to follow-up questions through email. I manually transcribed interviews and coded responses and another researcher assisted with coding. Qualitative analysis revealed that several factors facilitated the vocal health of the music therapists, specifically: feedback during music therapist training, home remedies, medical interventions, and motivation to continue vocal training. Several factors that inhibited the music therapists from achieving their optimal vocal health were lack of training, extended vocal use, the negative impact of allergies and sickness, and logistical and financial barriers. All participants experienced vocal problems at some point in their professional career but did not seek additional vocal training because of the inhibitive factors. The findings suggest that music therapists would benefit from additional vocal training opportunities within their entry education and training and easily accessible vocal health resources and continuing education opportunities specific to the field of music therapy. Additionally, there is a need for additional research on the effects of vocal training programs in music therapy.

description: Due to the ever-increasing improvement in computer power and the development of more efficient codes, atomistic first-principles calculations have become an indispensable tool in materials and interface chemistry. They are no longer limited to explanatory purposes but have gained predictive power, so that computational modeling and experiment can collaborate on the same footing. Still, quantum chemical first-principles methods are computationally expensive, and there are certain limitations as far as their scaling behavior in high-performance computing is concerned. Hence computational methods based on machine learning have become increasingly popular as an alternative approach to study materials and interfaces. Here some success stories of both approaches will be presented and their respective advantages and disadvantages will be critically discussed.

description: Background: Validated clinical prediction models to identify children with poor prognosis at the time of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) diagnosis would be very helpful for tailoring treatments, and avoiding under- or over-treatment. Our objective was to externally validate Nordic clinical prediction models in Canadian patients with JIA. Methods: We used data from 513 subjects at the 3-year follow-up from the Research in Arthritis in Canadian Children emphasizing Outcomes (ReACCh-Out) cohort. The predicted outcomes were non-achievement of remission, severe disease course, and functional disability. The Nordic models were evaluated exactly as published and after fine-tuning the logistic regression coefficients using multiple data splits of the Canadian cohort. Missing data was handled with multiple imputation, and prediction ability was assessed with C-indices. C-index values > 0.7 were deemed to reflect helpful prediction. Results: Overall, 81% of evaluable patients did not achieve remission off medications, 15% experienced a severe disease course, and 38% reported disability (CHAQ score > 0). The Nordic model for predicting non-achievement of remission had a C-index of 0.68 (95% CI 0.62–0.74), and 0.74 (0.67–0.80) after fine-tuning. For prediction of severe disease course, it had a C-index of 0.69 (0.61–0.78), and 0.79 (0.68–0.91) after fine-tuning. The fine-tuned Nordic model identified 85% of the cohort as low risk for a severe disease course (< 20% chance) and 7% as high risk (> 60% chance). The Nordic model to predict functional disability had a C-index of 0.57 (0.50–0.63), and 0.51 (0.39–0.63) after fine-tuning. Conclusions: Fine-tuned Nordic models, combining active joint count, physician global assessment of disease activity, morning stiffness, and ankle involvement, predicted well non-achievement of remission and severe disease course in Canadian patients with JIA. The Nordic model for predicting disability could not predict functional disability in Canadian patients.
Early colonialism and the Mi'kmaq: A context for re-thinking history of religion.
Creators: name: Reid, Jennifer.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Religion, History of.

description: This paper considers the religious meaning of earliest contact between Europeans and North American indigenous peoples as it focuses upon the meeting of the French and the Mi'kmaq in Acadia during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and the trade in commodities which initiated and maintained their cultural interaction during this period. Religion in this context is defined as the fundamental orientation of the human which is achieved through reciprocity; in other words, it is the process by which the human being arrives at a notion of meaning in the world and it is realized through exchanges in materiality. This definition provides a locus for the discussion of two issues; first, what is referred to a the 'problem' of the modern study of religion; and second, the problematic nature of the meaning of colonialism itself.

description: Faraday rotation of polarized emission from pulsars measured at radio frequencies provides a powerful tool to investigate the interstellar and interplanetary magnetic fields. However, besides being sensitive to the astrophysical media, pulsar observations in radio are affected by the highly time-variable ionosphere. In this article, the amount of ionospheric Faraday rotation has been computed by assuming a thin layer model. For this aim, ionospheric maps of the free electron density (based on Global Positioning System data) and semi-empirical geomagnetic models are needed. Through the data of five highly polarized pulsars observed with the individual German LOw-Frequency ARray stations, we investigate the performances of the ionospheric modelling. In addition, we estimate the parameters of the systematics and the correlated noise generated by the residual unmodelled ionospheric effects, and show the comparison of the different free-electron density maps. For the best ionospheric maps, we have found that the rotation measure corrections on 1 yr time-scales after subtraction of diurnal periodicity are accurate to similar to 0.06-0.07 rad m(-2).

description: Despite its richness, the community remains an underutilised resource for migrant and international students of EAL. This paper reports on a three-year study investigating and evaluating the cultural and linguistic value of volunteering in community placements to degree-level EAL learners. Using open-coded data from reflective journals, this paper discusses the range of literacies that 60 second-year degree-level EAL learners describe having demonstrated during placements. The study is framed within social identity theory and constructionist conceptualisations of communities of practice. For this paper, more recent real-world emphases of new literacy approaches offer fresh frames for social constructionism. We see our learners, situated within specific literate communities, developing cultural literacies as social practices. Here we discuss six varieties of cultural literacy. We maintain that learning in community contributes not only to increased communicative confidence, but also contributes to learners’ advancing agency through its potential to provide real-world contexts where cultural literacies develop.

description: Les femmes aînées de 65 ans et plus constituent le segment de la population qui présente le plus de problèmes de santé et qui est le moins actif physiquement. Or, la pratique de l'activité physique est un élément important dans la promotion de la santé. De plus, il est démontré que l'activité physique chez les aînées réduit les risques de cardiopathie et d'ostéoporose, accroît l'énergie et la mobilité, améliore l'autonomie et l'estime de soi et favorise, dans le contexte d'une pratique collective, la construction d'un réseau de soutien social et la conservation d'une identité culturelle. La présente étude porte sur la place de l'activité physique dans le vécu de femmes âgées immigrantes d'origine portugaise. Des éléments théoriques empruntés de la perspective socioculturelle développée par Pierre Bourdieu ont été utilisés, notamment les concepts d'habitus corporel et de logique sociale. La méthode de recherche privilégiée est qualitative et repose sur l'analyse des transcriptions d'entrevues semi-dirigées réalisées auprès d'une dizaine de femmes aînées immigrantes d'origine portugaise âgées entre 65 et 75 ans provenant de la région d'Ottawa.

L'impact du colonialisme sur le développement au Rwanda.

Subjects: subject: History, African.

description: Depuis quelques décennies, le débat de l'actualité rwandaise sur l'impact colonial vs le développement socio-économique et culturel du Rwanda est souvent resté à un stade scholastique voire superficiel. Or, l'essentiel est d'analyser les ressorts de la mission civilisatrice belge et d'identifier les intérêts des acteurs. Nul n'ignore les drames qu'a vécus le Rwanda à plusieurs reprises depuis 1959 jusqu'à avril-juin 1994; des violences d'une telle atrocité ayant même reçu l'absolution des missionnaires, ont conduit au nazisme noir; ce dernier ayant pour soubassement le facteur tribaliste/ethnique. Devant cet état de choses, il y a lieu de se poser la question suivante: Outre la responsabilité des autorités gouvernantes, où se situe celle des pays colonisateurs, et surtout de l'Église, messagère de la Bonne Nouvelle? L'impact du colonialisme sur le développement actuel du Rwanda mérite de sérieuses réflexions, car le schéma européen a souvent associé colonisation et évangélisation. Étant donné l'ampleur du sujet, nous nous sommes limitée sur l'influence de la religion et de l'éducation sur les structures socio-culturelles du Rwanda. Le système d'enseignement calqué sur celui de la métropole a longtemps visé la civilisation du Rwandais comme s'il n'avait pas de civilisation, pourtant il a abouti à l'aliéner. Pour ce faire, tout au long de ce travail, nous nous sommes penchée sur la situation du Rwanda à l'ère coloniale et post-coloniale pour recenser les principaux problèmes que le Rwanda a rencontrés, ainsi que les solutions envisagées après son indépendance.

title: EFFECTS OF WATERSHED DISTURBANCES AND RIVER-TRIBUTARY CONFLUENCES ON SEDIMENTATION DYNAMICS IN THE UPPER OHIO RIVER BASIN
Creators: name: Pickering, Ciara
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020
Subjects: Agricultural Engineering

description: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are of increasing concern in the Ohio River Basin. Fine sediment dynamics in riverine environments are increasingly recognized to play important roles in proliferation and toxicity of Microcystis blooms. Further, the fate of sediment at confluences of tributaries and the main river system are important zones for sediment retention and transient storage. The objective of this study was to improve understanding of watershed sediment loading dynamics and backwater inundation influencing sedimentation within confluence watersheds. The study site is the Fourpole Creek watershed in Huntington, WV which is a disturbed forested watershed impacted by a backwater confluence wetland at the junction of Fourpole Creek and the Ohio River. 16 months of high frequency turbidity data was collected at upstream and downstream nodes of the backwater influenced confluence feature near the watershed outlet. Governing hydraulic and sediment transport equations were used to develop a data driven model to estimate sediment fluxes within the confluence floodplain wetland. The continuous sediment yield model estimated an annual yield of 151 t/mi2. A modified sediment rating curve method estimated an annual suspended sediment yield of only 34.3 t/mi2. Hysteresis analysis was conducted using a source unmixing method and hysteresis index to quantify sediment source and flow pathways during events. The contribution of three major sources during events were highly variable, but seasonality and antecedent precipitation were both found to be influences. The confluence floodplain was found to have a quantitatively large role in intercepting and storing sediments, retaining 40% of the annual inputs. A numerical sediment transport model estimated 2,055 tons of sediment was permanently retained. Hysteresis was also found to influence the spatial variability of erosion and deposition mechanisms in the floodplain. The floodplain was found to have a particulate nitrogen removal rate from 0.5-0.9kgN/ha/year which is on the same order of magnitude as the nitrate removal rates in this same system. Our results suggest that particulate N fluxes from disturbed forested watersheds near rivers should be considered in watershed N budgets as well as a source for HABs in regulated rivers.

description: Background: The requirement for moderate withdrawal prior to initiation can be a barrier to buprenorphine/naloxone induction. Case presentation: We aimed to use a microdosing regimen to initiate regular dosing of buprenorphine/naloxone in a high-risk patient with a history of failed initiations due, in part, to withdrawal symptoms. Using an assertive outreach model and a buprenorphine/naloxone microdosing schedule, we initiated treatment of an individual’s opioid use disorder. There was a successful buprenorphine/naloxone microdosing induction as the team reached a therapeutic dose of buprenorphine/naloxone. Including the induction period, the medication was used consistently for 4 weeks. Conclusions: A microdosing schedule can be used to induce a patient onto buprenorphine/naloxone with no apparent withdrawal; gradually reducing illicit substance use. This case report builds on previous literature, highlighting ways to minimize barriers to induction of buprenorphine/naloxone, using a microdosing schedule and assertive outreach. Given the safety profile of buprenorphine and its potential to be a lifesaving intervention, a larger study of microdosing is indicated.

description: The urgency to investigate trauma in a controlled and reproducible environment rises since multiple trauma still account for the most deaths for people under the age of 45. The most common multiple trauma include head as well as blunt thorax trauma along with fractures. However, these trauma remain difficult to treat, partially because the molecular mechanisms that trigger the immediate immune response are not fully elucidated. To illuminate these mechanisms, investigators have used animal models, primarily mice as research subjects. This mini review aims to 1) emphasize the importance of the development of clinically relevant murine trauma research, 2) highlight and discuss the existing conflict between simulating clinically relevant situations and elucidating molecular mechanisms, 3) describe the advantages and disadvantages of established mouse trauma models developed to simulate clinically relevant situations, 4) summarize and list established mouse models in the field of trauma research developed to simulate clinically relevant situations.

description: Cannabis sativa is an agriculturally important plant that has been cultivated since antiquity. The plant has traditionally been grown for its remarkably tough fibers, for therapeutic value as a medicinal plant, and for its nutritious seeds. Contemporary applications of Cannabis sativa see the use of resin for bio-plastics, bio-fuels, and medicinal extracts for the treatment of disease. Glandular trichomes are small hair-like projections responsible for the production of the resin in Cannabis sativa. While Cannabis sativa and its products have, and have had, a plethora of uses in both ancient and contemporary times, little is known about the biology of Cannabis sativa in comparison with other industrial crop species. Particularly trichome productivity, a key determinant of Cannabis resin yield and quality, is only beginning to be understood at a molecular level.

description: This study provides evidence suggesting that male Young Offenders (YOs) (n = 40) can be significantly discriminated from male Non-Young Offenders (NYOs) (n = 40) on the basis of various neuropsychological measures of executive functioning. More specifically, YOs had lower factor scores than NYOs on measures reflecting higher order cognitive functioning ($r\sp2$ =.17), verbal fluency ($r\sp-$ =.07), cognitive flexibility ($r\sp2$ =.05), and spatial/perceptual functioning ($r\sp2$ =.04). A linear discriminant function ($r\sp2$ =.33) provided an overall classification hit rate of 73.75%. Factor scores of Property offenders derived from demographic variables were moderately correlated (r = $-$.48) with higher order cognitive factor scores, suggesting that greater cognitive deficits are associated with a poorer socialization outcome, more frequent and versatile criminal activity, and a greater dependence on alcohol and drugs. No significant correlations were noted for Violent or Sexual offenders, suggesting these type of offenders did not display any cognitive deficits per se. Based on these findings, a neuropsychologically evidence-based developmental hypothesis of criminality is proposed.

description: Repeated learning improves memory. Temporally distributed (“spaced”) learning can be twice as efficient than massed learning. Importantly, learning success is a non-monotonic maximum function of the spacing interval between learning units. Further optimal spacing intervals seem to exist at different time scales from seconds to days. We briefly review the current state of knowledge about this “spacing effect” and then discuss very similar but so far little noticed spacing patterns during a form of synaptic plasticity at the cellular level, called long term potentiation (LTP). The optimization of learning is highly relevant for all of us. It may be realized easily with appropriate spacing. In our view, the generality of the spacing effect points to basic mechanisms worth for coordinated research on the different levels of complexity.

The everyday experience of Somali women in Canada: Implications for health.
Creators: name: Buckland, Robin Lynn.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.

description: Access to health care is considered a basic right in Canadian society. However, health services are frequently inappropriate, unacceptable and thus inaccessible to immigrant and refugee women. The everyday concerns of immigrant and refugee women are germane to establishing appropriate, acceptable and accessible health care services. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the everyday life experiences of Somali, exploring how these experiences affect their. Grounded theory, a qualitative research method, in which data collection and analysis occur in tandem, was utilized, and enhanced by the perspective of feminism, in this study. This feminist perspective facilitated a non-oppressive, non-hierarchical, interactive and reflexive research process. 'Rebuilding' in Canada was identified as a central process. Two main categories were discovered in the process of rebuilding; (1) adjusting to the refugee reality & (2) finding a new safety in Canada. Running from flames reflects on the initial experiences of Somali women in Canada. Despite the fact that they are safe in Canada, coming to terms with their reality as refugees is not easy. Safe in Canada Somali women begin the day-to-day trials of dealing with intercultural communication in an unfamiliar Canadian system. The study finding encourage nurses and other health care providers to consider the context and history of clients ultimately broadening their conception, as health care providers, of health and the multiple factors that determine it.

Somatic symptoms, hypochondriasis and psychological distress: a study of somatisation in Australian general practice

description: Objective: To measure the prevalence of somatisation (multiple somatic symptoms and hypochondriasis) among Australian general practice attendees, its recognition by general practitioners, and its relationship with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Design, setting and participants:Self-reported questionnaires completed by 10 507 consecutive patients aged ≥18 years attending 340 GPs enrolled in a 6-hour national mental health program of continuing professional development who accepted invitations to participate; audit form completed by GPs for each patient during the period March 2004 to December 2006. Main outcome measures: Somatic symptom severity (measured with the 15-item Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-15]); hypochondriasis (measured with the Whiteley Index [Whiteley-7]; depression and anxiety (measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress scale [K10]); prevalence of “somatisers” (defined by medium to severe somatic symptom severity and hypochondriasis); GP recognition of somatisation (determined by their responses on audit forms to questions on whether patient’s complaints were most likely to have a physical or psychological explanation). Results:18.5% of patients were classified as somatisers and 9.5% as probable cases of depression or anxiety. While 29.6% of somatisers had high anxiety or depression scores, 57.9% of people with anxiety or depression were also somatisers. Sex and age asserted significant but weak effects on psychometric scores. GPs identified somatic complaints as “mostly explained by a psychological disturbance” in 25.1% of somatisers. Conclusions: Somatisation is common in general practice, and more prevalent than depression or anxiety. While a minority of somatisers have significant anxiety and depression, most patients with depression and anxiety have a significant degree of somatisation. Recognition of depression and anxiety can be hindered by a somatic presentation and attribution. On the other hand, managing somatisation does not just involve recognising depression and anxiety, but also dealing with the health anxieties that underpin hypochondriasis.
Comparison of the PACT(TM) and activated sludge processes, for the treatment of a kraft pulp mill wastewater.

description: This study has compared the conventional activated sludge process to the Powdered Activated Carbon Treatment (PACT$\rm\sp{TM})$ process for the treatment of a bleached kraft mill effluent. The PACT$\rm\sp{TM}$ process involves the addition of powdered activated carbon (PAC) to the aeration basin of an activated sludge system. Powdered activated carbon has a very high surface area and is able to adsorb large amounts of hydrophobic compounds, such as organochlorines. This process was selected because it was likely to increase the removals of toxins including adsorbable organics halides (AOX) and because it had not been evaluated for this type of wastewater. Bench scale continuous flow reactors, with internal sludge recycle, were used in this study. The design and process control parameters varied included hydraulic retention time, solids retention time and powdered activated carbon dose. PAC doses of 0.1-1.0 g/L were used. Four feeds were used in this study, which were collected at different times, from a bleached kraft pulp mill batch operation. Two conceptual models for effluent SCOD prediction were developed and tested. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common persistent arrhythmia. It is associated with increased mortality and morbidity such as stroke. The early detection of atrial fibrillation can significantly reduce the risk of stroke through preventive anticoagulation. Smartwatches offer the opportunity to screen for atrial fibrillation in the general population. This paper aims to analyze the ethical challenges associated with screening for atrial fibrillation using smartwatches. Methods: This is an ethical analysis. The methodology is based on the principle-orientated approach of Beauchamp and Childress. The principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and autonomy have to be guaranteed given the influence of private companies, privacy protection, liability and doctor-patient-relationship. The work is based on a systematic literature research. Results: There is currently no evidence that screening for atrial fibrillation with smartwatches improves the outcome and reduces the number of adverse events. The high number of false-positive results can lead to harm. The principle of non-maleficence is violated. The over-reliance on and the lack of adequate education by smartwatches can worsen the doctor-patient relationship. However, the relationship can also be improved by the proactive participation of the patient, which leads to greater autonomy, compliance and in the end beneficence. Since smartwatches are consumer goods, there is a risk for greater disparities in the poor and rich population. There is also a risk of discrimination against ethnic minorities due to underrepresentation in training data and study cohorts. The principle of justice is violated. The storage of sensitive medical data by private companies also raises many ethical and legal concerns. Conclusion: This analysis has shown that the use of smartwatches to detect atrial fibrillation is currently in an ethical perspective problematic. The lack of evidence and the high number of false-positive results can lead to harm. As smartwatches provide only little information about the possible consequences, informed consent cannot be assumed. Ethical implementation could be archived if doctors provide smartwatches to patients who have been shown to benefit from them. The implementation and education should be managed by the doctor.
