La representación de Andalucía en la guía Routard / Trotamundos
Creators: name: Bordonaba Zabalza, Maria Cristina
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: A travel guide author bases their writing on the notions they have developed of the would-be traveller and therefore chooses appropriate subject matter which will encourage the traveller to a have a new experience.  In order to reach their goal, the author selects the linguistic and discourse strategies that will best help to persuade the reader to visit a place.  The Routard/Trotamundos guide, which is the object of this present study, aims to reject the linguistic and discourse stereotypes underlying the conventions of the genre.  It therefore proposes a fresh and more realistic vision of a destination.
Moreover, the study of the Spanish and Italian versions allows us to reflect on the way a place is perceived, both from the viewpoint of the culture which is making the observations, and also from the culture which is being observed (Amossy 1994: 75).  Both cultures can use the same words but with different meanings.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Aim:  Empathic tendency, life satisfaction and professional self-esteem are important concepts that affect the service provided by healthcare professionals. This study aims to reveal the relationship among empathic tendencies, life satisfaction and professional self-esteem of the Turkish military students of the school of medicine, nursing faculty and health vocational school. Besides, the study sought to determine whether there was a mediating role of professional self-esteem between the empathetic tendency and life satisfaction of the students receiving health education.

Material-Methods: Eight hundred and seventy Turkish military health students participated in the study with a survey participation rate of 95.3%. To analyze the hypothesized path model, data were analyzed using SPSS 23 and AMOS 24 programs.

Results: 61.3% of participants were male and 38.7% were female. Of the 870 participants, 439 were medicals, 323 were nurses and 108 were vocational school students studying at a military medical academy. Model data fit index values were found to be within acceptable limits.

Conclusions: The empathic tendency, life satisfaction and professional self-esteem levels in students receiving health education are high. There is a positive and significant relationship between the variables examined. It was found that professional self-esteem has a partial mediating role in the relationship between empathic tendency and life satisfaction.

description: Open Science has much to offer Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) at the start of their research career. For example, Open Science allows ECRs to be credited appropriately for their work, provides opportunity for the wide dissemination of research outputs, and highly values collaboration and collegiality. Indeed, ECRs have contributed substantially to the development and promotion of Open Science, championing initiatives such as journal clubs, how-to guides, and online communities. However, despite the vast contribution of ECRs to this conversation, there has been a notable lack of consideration for how the goals and tools of Open Science align with early career research that stems from a distinctly feminist perspective. In this poster, we discuss the unique position that feminist ECRs occupy in the context of Open Science and provide six evidence-based tips for feminist ECRs who wish to engage with the Open Science conversation. This poster reflects a collaboration between ten feminist ECRs who represent diverse areas of research, backgrounds, and methodologies. Thus, these six tips are a result of both evidence from psychology and metascience, as well as a result of personal reflections on our journeys into and through Open Science spaces. Our six tips are: ‘Start at your own pace’, ‘Do what you need to survive’, ‘Engage in research advocacy’, ‘Be as open as possible’, ‘Find (or create) your community’ and ‘Consider alternative and diverse mentorship’. These tips reflect upon our experiences of navigating Open Science and are designed to provide concrete action-based recommendations for feminist ECRs as they include the principles of Open Science into their scholarly practice. Thus, the practice benefits of this poster are vast.
'A Shakespearian view of it': Shakespeare in Canada, 1848-1891.
Creators: name: Schagerl, Jessica Ann.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (English).

description: In the second half of the nineteenth century, Canada's comic press developed a complex and extensive pattern of verbal and visual satire drawing on the powerful resonances associated with the idea(l) of Shakespeare. These texts show that Shakespeare had already by the nineteenth century become a significant part of Canadian popular culture. Chapter One investigates the extent to which Shakespeare was a part of popular culture by studying both reverential and confrontational appropriations of his works. Chapter Two takes as its starting point the admission by one of the anonymous writers for Grip that "one cannot help parodying Shakespeare" (27 May 1876, p. 2) and, from there, examines the way re-writings and political parodies interrogate, both implicitly and explicitly, received traditions and assumptions about Shakespeare. In translating Shakespeare into a "Canadian" voice, the occasional periodical pieces adopt the colonizing cultural capital of Shakespeare for Canada. The third chapter explores in close detail the use of Shakespeare in Canadian political caricature. Beyond merely choosing a Shakespearean theme, Canadian caricaturists (chief among them J. W. Bengough) use the reputation and knowledge of Shakespeare among the readers of comic periodicals to make pointed and reformist comments about the politicians and social problems of the day.

Hooked epinephrine auto-injector devices in children: four case reports with three different proposed mechanisms
Creators: name: Goldman, Ran D
name: Long, Katharine C
name: Brown, Julie C
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2020

description: Background: The prevalence of epinephrine auto-injectors (EAI) use is on the rise. Our objective was to describes children with hooked EAI needles that were embedded in soft tissues. Case presentation: Results: Two children self-injected in their shins. The embedded EAIs required removal in the Emergency Department. Both needles were hooked and splayed at the tip. A boy in anaphylaxis kicked his leg during EAI injection and the hooked needle embedded under his skin and was difficult to dislodge. The exposed needle was curved. A girl had an EAI administered for anaphylaxis, which was also difficult to dislodge. On removal, the distal needle tip was hooked approximately 160 degrees. Images of the device revealed that the needle fired off-center from the device and the device components were cracked. We propose three different explanations for these hooked EAI needles. The first is that the needle could hit bone during injection and curve rather than penetrates further. Secondly, the needle could bend when the patient moves during injection. Thirdly, if a needle fires sufficiently off-center to hit the cartridge carrier, this could hook the needle prior to injection. Conclusions: Awareness of the reasons for needle hooking, damage observed, and challenges and successful approaches to their removal, can better prepare the provider for these uncommon events. Teaching parents, children and educators about safe EAI storage and appropriate restraint during use may prevent some of these accidental injuries. Reporting device failures may lead to improvements in device performance and design.
title: Application of Low-Portland Cement Content Binders for Potential High-Strength Concrete Masonry Unit Manufacturing
Creators: name: Ghasemalizadeh, Saeid
Publisher: name: Schulich School of Engineering
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Engineering--Civil

description: High-strength concrete block masonry units (CMUs) are used in the construction of tall masonry walls in many residential and commercial buildings. As the demand for such blocks is growing, there is an increasing need for high-strength CMUs with lower carbon footprints. Replacing high contents of Portland cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in the mixture design of CMUs is a promising approach towards reducing the carbon footprint of these units. The current study aimed to develop a high-strength dry-mix concrete using a low-Portland cement content binder for potential application in CMUs manufacturing. First, a commercially available ground granulated blast furnace slag was ground to ultrafine slag (UFS) which was used in different combinations with the slag before grinding, and a locally available and medium-grade metakaolin (MK) to replace the Portland cement by a total of 30-60 wt% in mortar and paste samples. The compressive strength development of the mortars was monitored from 1 to 91 d while the paste samples were used for the heat evolution and microstructural analyses. The results showed a higher reactivity of UFS compared to slag, which played a crucial role in increasing the compressive strength of the mortars incorporating UFS. Overall, mortars with the MK-UFS had a higher compressive strength compared to those made with the slag-UFS. An MK-UFS combination (MK/UFS of 70/30) was then used as 50 wt% Portland cement replacement in preparation of a high-strength dry-mix concrete. The concrete achieved a compressive strength of 69.6 MPa at 28 d, which was slightly higher than that of concrete with only Portland cement (63.7 MPa), and superior compared to a concrete that had the same Portland cement replacement content but with regular slag instead of UFS (56.0 MPa). The dry-mix concrete with the MK-UFS also displayed slightly enhanced durability. Finally, full-size CMUs incorporating MK-UFS were produced and tested for the compressive strength in the laboratory.

description: The paper on seeing itself all spotted by the murky blackness of the ink grieves over it; and this ink shows it that by the words which it composes upon it it becomes the cause of its preservation. (da Vinci 1954, p. 421) This Doctorate of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) addresses the question, 'How can a story of suburban dwelling be created to bring to life the potency and particularity of place and space for human connectedness in contemporary Australian cities?' The following original novel and accompanying exegesis reflect my concern with the necessity of addressing the issues of identity, of belonging and of being, in times that challenge accepted verities. To address these issues, I created a work of fiction '34 Park Road'. This novel has grown, since I first walked past the building fictionalised in my story, from my interrogations of the locality and through the imagined population of that corner of suburban Brisbane, into a narrative of ordinary lives that is deeply rooted in the quotidian and the mundane. I ask, 'If the city is a text, how do we write it to show the nuanced particularities of life in the suburbs in their rich ambiguity and possibility?' Both novel and exegesis address this query by testing how the phenomenology of quotidian suburban experiences can be narrated to foreground the invisible connective social infrastructure that holds us together and creates patterns of meaning.

description: Open Science (up)skilling and training programmes in Europe for researchers and academic libraries staff: from sketching the landscape with selective case-studies to sharing best practices In a rapidly changing digital world, scholarly models, ways of working and techniques are being reinvented in the academic research landscape. Library staff and researchers need more training in order to cope with a myriad of topics: electronic resource management, data access, blockchains, and text and data mining - to name a few. Research libraries are a key force in efforts to confront this skills gap, to change cultures and to train both researchers and academic library staff. Research libraries support, create and deliver training programmes targeting Open Science digital skills development. They have strong expertise in the Open Science skilling and training field, and their knowledge is relevant not only for the library sector but for all stakeholders seeking to improve Open Science skills within their sector. This poster displays the method and results corresponding to a pan-European study. From a series of interviews and case studies, we see that many approaches are being used across Europe by universities for skilling and training library staff and research communities: from mature programmes to emerging initiatives, from acculturating to upskilling staff with open science digital skills. By identifying and learning about the most relevant Open Science training programmes and initiatives in the current academic landscape, this study aims to share best practices with the academic research community and to help them select and define digital priorities. Finally, this study is a critical starting point for establishing a first Open Science Skillset. It highlights crucial entry points into the existing Open Science digital skills frameworks and provides helpful guidance in order to build an institutional Open Science staff lifelong training programme in a research center or a higher education institution.

description: Agility is the complex skill of rapid multidirectional movement incorporating variations to velocity and the manipulation of momentum. Agility skill execution is a feature of open skilled sports such as rugby union, and represents a fundamental component of successful performance. This project investigated agility skill execution during attacking ball carries in rugby union. The ability to outmanoeuvre defensive opponents through the expression of superior evasive strategies (agility) contributes an important determinant to the success of attacking ball carries and overall team success in rugby union. Despite this, the technical proficiency of agility skill execution and the mechanisms associated with performance enhancement are understood poorly within the scientific community and functional coaching environments. This is highlighted where the published research examining agility has been confounded typically by poor methodological approaches and operational definitions of performance. The current project examined the determinants of agility skill execution specific to rugby union. This project incorporated a series of distinct phases through notational and kinematic analyses. Notational analysis demonstrated that evasive agility skill execution lead to tackle-breaks, which subsequently promoted try scoring opportunities and overall team success. It was demonstrated that the ability of the attacking ball carrier to receive the ball at high running speed, combined with a side-step 1 to 2 body lengths from the defence at an angle between 20° and 60°, then followed by a straightening of the running line at 20° to 60° was associated with tackle-breaks. In addition, isolating a defender meant that poor defensive positions were more likely, and as a result the attacking ball carrier had an increased probability of achieving a tacklebreak.

description: For some parents following separation, shifting from a spousal and parental system to a parental system only can be difficult. The current thesis explored post separation entrenched co-parenting conflict within the context of the Australian family law system. Previous research has evidenced a broad, vague, and disparate body of knowledge around entrenched co-parenting conflict. In Australia only 3% of separated parents use the courts as their main pathway to finalise parenting arrangements, however one third of separated parents' co-parenting relationships comprise acrimonious behaviours which are constituted by high levels of conflict. Following separation legal processes may be drawn out and closure inhibited, with court and legal professionals reportedly spending 90% of their time on this separating population. The current thesis explored entrenched co-parenting conflict across two studies. Firstly, within a quantitative research design (Study 1) comprising online surveys and dyadic analysis. Secondly, within a qualitative research design (Study 2) comprising interviews.

description: This thesis examined why NCAA Division 1 American football “linemen” experience greater heat strain than “backs” during summer training camps. In study #1, exercise at a heat production of 350 W/m2 in a hot environment (Tdb:32.4±1.0ºC; Twb:26.3±0.6ºC) resulted in greater local sweating on the upper body (head, arm, shoulder and chest; all <0.05) and a greater core temperature (P=0.033) in linemen despite a ~25% lower heat production per unit mass (L:6.0±0.5 W/kg; B:8.2±0.8 W/kg). In study #2, greater convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients (P<0.05) were found in backs during live summer training camp drills, but these did not lead to a greater dry heat transfer or evaporative capacity. However, the maximum metabolic rate per unit mass was lower in linemen due to differences surface area-to-mass ratio. In conclusion, the greater heat strain previously reported in linemen likely arises, in part, from differences in sweating efficiency and body morphology.

description: Il concetto di motivazione, in quanto costrutto multidimensionale, dinamico e socialmente costruito, è suscettibile di essere visto come una competenza che è possibile sviluppare lungo tutto il percorso formativo. Convinzioni e atteggiamenti possono costituire dei fattori particolarmente utili per esplorare i processi motivazionali, con riferimento ad aree complesse quali i rapporti tra motivazione, lingue e culture, tra motivazione e percezioni di sé e tra motivazione e compiti di apprendimento. Parallelamente, dal punto di vista operativo è utile considerare le strategie che insegnante e studente possono attivare, ciascuno nel proprio ruolo ma anche in una prospettiva di interdipendenza, per generare e mantenere la motivazione ad apprendere. L’illustrazione di alcuni fondamentali apporti teorici è accompagnata dalla citazione di affermazioni e di metafore di studenti, raccolte nel corso di alcuni sondaggi svolti sull’apprendimento delle lingue a scuola.MOTIVATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING: THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONSThe concept of motivation as a multidimensional, dynamic and socially conditioned construct, can be seen as a competence which developed throughout the formative process. Beliefs and attitudes are particularly useful for exploring motivational processes, with special reference to complex areas such as the relationship between motivation, language and culture, motivation and the perception of the self, and motivation and learning tasks. In the same way, it is useful to consider the strategies that teachers and students can put into effect, maintaining their roles but also working interdependently, in order to generate and maintain the motivation to learn. Theoretical approaches to motivation are illustrated by statements and metaphors produced by students and collected during a series of surveys on the learning of languages in Italian school contexts.

description: The vertebral column is the defining characteristic of vertebrates. The human vertebral column can also be referred to as the spine, and constitutes the central element of the body's axial skeleton. This structure has several key roles: (1) a stable support for the body, (2) kinematic motion and (3) protection of the spinal cord. Characteristically the spine consists of 33 vertebrae in series with 24 vertebrae separated from each other by 23 intervertebral discs. Five unique regions are identifiable within the spine with regions either comprising separate or fused vertebrae. Each vertebra is named according to the region and location from superior to inferior within its region: cervical (7 vertebrae C1-C7), thoracic (12 vertebrae T1-T12), lumbar (5 vertebrae L1-L5), sacral (5 fused vertebrae S1-S5) and coccygeal (4 [3 to 5] fused vertebrae). The sagittal morphology of the spine is either naturally lordotic or kyphotic. Kyphotic curvatures possess concavities anteriorly and include the thoracic and sacrococcygeal regions. Lordotic curvatures possess convexities anteriorly, and include the cervical and lumbar regions. The naturally lordotic cervical region consists of seven vertebrae, two extremely specialised vertebrae are located superiorly including the atlas and axis, while below the axis are five standard vertebrae. The cervical spine is highly mobile, and this region is frequently described in conjunction with the skull and is referred to as the craniocervical region due to the complex osteokinematic interrelationships.
L’INTEGRAZIONE DELLE SECONDE GENERAZIONI E IL RUOLO DELL’ITALIANO PER LO STUDIO

description: Come sta reagendo la scuola italiana di fronte alla presenza crescente dei figli dell’immigrazione? In assenza di direttive e di chiare indicazioni didattiche da parte delle autorità ministeriali, le scuole hanno risposto all’emergenza mettendo in campo l’unica risorsa abbondante di cui disponevano: la buona volontà dei docenti. Si è così assistito a un decennio di sperimentazioni e di proposte autonomamente gestite con un’infinità di iniziative di prima accoglienza e di educazione interculturale. Ma, se guardiamo al futuro, quali potrebbero essere le prospettive? Come si realizzerà l’integrazione delle seconde generazioni in Italia? Il contributo descrive le possibili traiettorie, partendo dal presupposto che l’integrazione non sarà l’esito di un percorso unico, uguale per tutti, ma discenderà da un vero e proprio mosaico di combinazioni originali tra diversi territori e comunità immigrate, ognuno con la propria identità e cultura. In tale direzione si muove il progetto sperimentale “Italiano per studiare”, promosso e sostenuto dalla Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli, in collaborazione con USR Piemonte e con l’ASAI di Torino che offre ai ragazzi di origine immigrata, con una buona conoscenza dell’italiano orale, un corso di rafforzamento della comprensione e dell’uso dell’italiano scritto, per migliorarne l’approccio ai testi disciplinari e dunque la capacità di studio.THE INTEGRATION OF SECOND GENERATION IMMIGRANTS AND THE ROLE OF ITALIAN AT SCHOOLHow are Italian schools reacting to the growing presence of the children of immigrants? In the absence of directives and clear didactic indications on the part of the Ministry, schools have addressed the emergency by making use of the only plentiful resource they have: the good will of the teachers. The past decade has been characterized by experimentation and autonomous proposals managed thanks to countless integration initiatives and intercultural education. But if we look towards the future, what are the perspectives? How will second generations be integrated in Italy? Several possibilities are illustrated, starting from the idea that integration is not the result of a single experience, the same for all, but it is a real mosaic of combinations between the different territories and the communities of immigrants, each with their own identity and culture.The project “Italiano per studiare”, promoted and supported by the Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli, together with the USR Piemonte and the ASAI in Turin, offers a course to improve the approach to textbooks and thus to studying in general for immigrants with a sufficient knowledge of spoken Italian.

It is included to provide some background information about nonlinear optical processes in general, and is particularly relevant for the third part of this thesis which is based on the second-order nonlinear optical process of spontaneous parametric downconversion. The second part is based on original research, and deals with superradiance in plasmonic nanostructures. The process of superradiance, as introduced by Dicke in 1954, entails the shortening of the spontaneous emission lifetime of a collection of N quantum emitters as a consequence of the development of a macroscopic dipole moment. Specifically, the lifetime is shortened by a factor of 1/N, and the linewidth is broadened by a factor of N. Such a linewidth dependence has been previously observed in systems of several plasmonic ‘emitters’. However, a clear physical insight into this phenomenon and how it relates to Dicke superradiance has not been shown yet. In this part, we demonstrate by experiment, simulation, and a simple analytical model that Dicke’s superradiance can indeed be observed in a planar array of plasmonic nanoantennas, with a linewidth that scales linearly with the number of nanoantennas within a square wavelength. The third part is also based on original research, and is based on the scal- ing laws of spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) for a type-I phase- matching configuration. The variation of bi-photon generation rate, heralding efficiency and radiance with parameters such as crystal length, pump focussing and collection waist sizes are examined for collinear and non-collinear emission. The results can be used to maximize the brightness of the SPDC source or increase the heralding efficiency depending on the application.

description: Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have attracted much attention over the last few years. VANETs own several significant characteristics, such as the high-rate changing topology led by velocity of vehicles, time-and-location critical safety applications, and Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. In VANETs, as vehicle movement is usually restricted in just bidirectional movements along the roads and streets, geographical location information becomes very useful. In addition, many studies show that position-based routing protocol is a more promising routing strategy for VANETs; therefore security and verification of location information are necessary to be researched. In this thesis, a location verification approach, namely the Cooperative Location Verification (CLV) protocol, is proposed, aiming to prevent position-spoofing attacks on VANETs. The CLV basically uses two vehicles, a Verifier and a Cooperator, to verify the claimed position of a vehicle (Prover), according to two challenge-response procedures. Additionally, the security analysis of the CLV is presented. In order to enhance the CLV by reduce the network overhead, a reputation management system is designed. It utilizes the verification results of the CLV application and maintain every vehicle's reliability in the network. In addition, the solution to sparse networks is briefly discussed. In the simulation, the results show that the proposed CLV performs better than another location verification algorithm, namely the Secure Location Verification (SLV). And the effectiveness of the reputation management system is also demonstrated.

description: Spesso la grande differenza tra la cultura italiana e quella cinese rende il percorso di apprendimento del discente sinofono particolarmente lento e difficile. Come dimostrato da diversi studi, infatti, la cultura di appartenenza ricopre un ruolo fondamentale nell’apprendimento linguistico.Il presente articolo, dopo una breve comparazione tra le peculiarità delle due culture in questione secondo le categorie di Geert Hofstede (1991), illustra il metodo di insegnamento utilizzato nelle suole cinesi, il ruolo dell’insegnante all’interno della classe e della società, il rapporto tra insegnante e studente, approfondendo in modo particolare lo stile di apprendimento dei discenti sinofoni e le loro strategie messe in atto per apprendere la lingua straniera.Lo scopo è fornire informazioni che consentano di comprendere cosa accade quando i discenti sinofoni si trovano in una classe di lingua straniera o seconda con insegnanti madrelingua di culture così differenti e in un contesto di apprendimento diverso da quello già sperimentato nel loro paese e di poter rispondere alle loro esigenze con un intervento didattico adeguato.THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN ITALIAN L2 LEARNING BY CHINESE-SPEAKERS: METHOD OF STUDY AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN CHINAOften the huge difference between Italian and Chinese cultures makes the learning process for Chinese-speaking students particularly hard and slow. As many studies have shown, in fact, the home culture plays a fundamental role in language learning.This article, after a brief comparison between the two cultures according to the categories defined by Geert Hofstede (1991), illustrates teaching methods used in Chinese schools, the teacher’s role in the classroom and in society and the relationship between teacher and student, investigating the learning style of Chinese-speaking students and the strategies they implement when learning a foreign language.The aim is to offer information which aids comprehension when Chinese-speaking students are in a foreign-language class or with mother-tongue teachers from cultures that are different and in learning contexts that are different from their experience, so that their needs can be met with appropriate didactic interventions.

description: The aim of this thesis was to examine the activity profiles and physiological responses of players and referees during tag football competition to assist with the improvement of athlete development practices. This thesis 'by publication' is formed by four research studies that have been accepted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. The first research study (Chapter 2) examines the activity profiles and physiological responses of tag football referees during national tournament competition. The following three research studies (Chapters 3, 4 and 5) determine player activity profiles during state- and national-level competition and examine the influence of playing position, representative selection, physical capacity and fatigue on the activity profile.

description: The transition towards Open Science will drastically alter our approach to academic life. It will change the ways in which we reward and recognise university employees and reshape the relationship between education and research. This should be reflected in how a new generation of academics and citizens are educated. Not only through the qualifications our students receive to become productive members of society, but also by dint of the values and attitudes we teach our pupils. The aim of university education should be preparing future graduates to share their (inter)disciplinary knowledge, engage with societal stakeholders, and shape tomorrow’s society. Now is the time to explore how. This is the visualization of the manifesto intended as a thought exercise to explore the (possible) relationships between Open Science and education. It attempts to point out the overlap, parallels, synergy, and possible conflicts between Open Science attitudes and practices, and contemporary views and practices in education. We aim to provoke a perspective on the different aspects of how Open Science relates to education and propose several concrete directions forward and possible corresponding interventions. After explaining why education from an Open Science perspective needs to be explored and strengthened, we differentiate four faces of open education: the Open Science mindset, Open Science skillset, open educational resources, and how these activities should be recognised and rewarded. We subsequently illuminate three possible paths on how to strengthen open education, ranging from content to form and system. We hope that this will spark a broader national and international conversation on the relationship between Open Science and education.

description: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common health problem worldwide and remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Over the past decade, it has become clear that the inhabitants of our gut, the gut microbiota, play a vital role in human metabolism, immunity, and reactions to diseases, including CAD. Although correlations have been shown between CAD and the gut microbiota, demonstration of potential causal relationships is much more complex and challenging. In this review, we will discuss the potential direct and indirect causal roots between gut microbiota and CAD development via microbial metabolites and interaction with the immune system. Uncovering the causal relationship of gut microbiota and CAD development can lead to novel microbiome-based preventative and therapeutic interventions. However, an interdisciplinary approach is required to shed light on gut bacterial-mediated mechanisms (e.g., using advanced nanomedicine technologies and incorporation of demographic factors such as age, sex, and ethnicity) to enable efficacious and high-precision preventative and therapeutic strategies for CAD.
