title: Woods, Water, and Meadows: The Formation of Ukrainian-Canadian Identity Through Land and Settlement

description: These data support the publication "Woods, Water, and Meadows: The Formation of Ukrainian-Canadian Identity Through Land and Settlement". This collection consists of tables and maps that use data from the Canadian Census of Population between the years 1991 - 2021 (inclusive). 

The paper explores the development and persistence of Ukrainian-Canadian communities in the prairies using a combination of archival documents, township maps, homestead records, and contemporary census data. It addresses the limitations of historical census data in capturing the ethnic origins of early Ukrainian settlers and highlights the importance of archival research in filling these gaps.

title: Weak local adaptation to climate in seedlings of a deciduous conifer suggests limited benefits and risks of assisted gene flow

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Assisted migration provides a potential solution to mitigate the increasing risks of forest maladaptation under climate change. Western larch (&lt;em&gt;Larix occidentalis Nutt&lt;/em&gt;.) is a deciduous conifer species undergoing assisted migration beyond its natural range in British Columbia into areas that have become suitable based on climatic niche modelling. We established a seedling common garden experiment in raised beds in a warm location outside the natural range for three growing seasons, with 52 natural populations from across the species range and 28 selectively-bred families from British Columbia. Intraspecific genetic variation in growth, phenology and cold hardiness was analyzed to test for signals of local adaptation and the effects of selective breeding to better understand the implications for assisted migration and breeding for future climates. We found weak differentiation among populations in all traits, with the proportion of additive genetic variance (QST) values ranging from 0.10 to 0.28. Cold hardiness had the weakest population differentiation and exhibited no clines with geographic or climatic variables. Selective breeding for faster growth has maintained genetic variation in bud flush phenology and cold hardiness despite delaying bud set. The weak signals of local adaptation we found in western larch seedlings highlights that assisted gene flow among populations is likely to have limited benefits and risks for mitigating maladaptation with climate change. Our findings suggest that assisted migration outside of the range and selective breeding may be important management strategies for western larch for future climates.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Alberta Childhood COVID-19 Cohort [AB3C, study data contributed to the CITF Databank]

description: &lt;b&gt;Background&lt;/b&gt;: Given the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, there was a need to understand COVID-19 in Alberta children to inform potential treatments, vaccines, and public safety decisions such as when and how children should return to school. This study was not funded by the CITF; Dr. Kellner, as co-chair of the CITF Field Studies and Pediatric working groups, helped design the CITF Core Data Elements and questionnaires. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Aims of the original study&lt;/b&gt;: The AB3C study aimed to determine how many children with and without known COVID-19 infections have made an immune response (blood antibodies) over time, and the epidemiologic and immunological correlates of infection risk and COVID disease severity. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Methods&lt;/b&gt;: Parents were invited to enroll their child (less that 18 years) in the study if they lived in or near Calgary, AB. They were enrolled as single-visit or longitudinal participants. In addition to questionnaire items, at each visit (6 months apart) past COVID infection status was ascertained (priority to PCR result) and a blood sample drawn for serology. IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and receptor binding domain of the spike were measured. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Summary of the contributed data&lt;/b&gt;: The dataset includes 1030 participants who completed a baseline visit between August and November 2020 and provided at least one blood sample. 94% of participants were followed longitudinally up to 2 years (median: 19 months). Available variables include data for the following areas of information: demographics (age, sex, race-ethnicity and indigeneity, FSA), chronic health conditions, and BMI at baseline; acute COVID infection evidence, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and serology over time.

title: Engaging Families to Build Healthy Communities

description: Context: Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adverse Community Environments in combination represent family and community level factors that limit children, families and communities from reaching their full potential. Despite these significant challenges, every community has examples of resilience.&lt;br /&gt;
Objectives: To understand the factors that impact family and community resilience for families facing adversity and families’ ideas on how to improve their communities.&lt;br /&gt; Study Design and Analysis: Using community-based participatory action research methods, the I-CREAte (Innovations for Community Resilience, Equity and Advocacy) team conducted a multiple case study design exploring the lived experiences of nine families experiencing adversity, focusing on their perceived strengths, barriers, and proposed solutions to improving resilience for their families and communities. Directed content analysis was used to analyze each case independently. Subsequently, all cases were brought together in a multiple case study analysis.&lt;br /&gt;
Setting and Population: This study took place in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington counties in Ontario, Canada. Nine families (cases) were recruited who self-identified as experiencing adversity. Family experiences of adversity ranged from exposure to racism, substance use, poverty, disability, migration, single parenthood, and exposure to different forms of interpersonal and community violence.&lt;br /&gt;
Instrument: Visual timelines, semi structured interviews, and photovoice were included as data collection tools for each of the nine cases.&lt;br /&gt;
Results: Through the use of thematic analysis, twelve themes were retained which significantly impacted families’ experience of resilience. These included: lack of community safety, impacts of COVID-19, Indigenous community needs and experiences, challenges to Integration for newcomers, anti-discrimination, family supports, rights-based approach, impacts of material deprivation, health system navigation challenges, healthy cities, social support networks, and family friendly substance use treatment needs. A lack of awareness and embodiment of rights, otherwise known as epistemic injustice, was noticeable in many families.&lt;br /&gt;
Conclusions: The ways in which themes impacted individual families and intersected with each other present many opportunities for meaningful community intervention to improve the well-being of families.&lt;br /&gt;

Data files for this study cannot be shared due to confidentiality. The following documentation have been included: Qualtrics survey tool, letter of information and consent and assent tools, semi structured focus group interview guides, semi-structured in-depth interview guides, Photovoice interview guides, validation protocol for knowledge dissemination

title: Replication Data for: Taurine efflux counters the hydrodynamic impact of anaerobic metabolism to protect cardiorespiratory function under acute thermal stress in brook char (Salvelinus fontinalis)

description: Upper thermal tolerance may be limited by convective oxygen transport in fish, but the mechanisms constraining heart function remain elusive. The activation of anaerobic metabolism imposes an osmotic stress on cardiomyocytes at high temperatures that must be countered to prevent swelling and cardiac dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac taurine efflux is required to counter the osmotic impact of anaerobic end product accumulation in brook char, Salvelinus fontinalis. Fish were fed a diet enriched in β-alanine, a competitive inhibitor of the taurine transporter, to induce taurine deficiency and inhibit transporter function. In vivo, stroke volume increased by 60% and cardiac output doubled in control fish during a 2 °C h-1 thermal ramp. Stroke volume was temperature-insensitive in taurine deficient (TD) fish so cardiac output was 30% lower at high temperatures. The thermal sensitivity of aerobic metabolism did not
differ, and lactate accumulated to a similar degree in both diet treatment groups, indicating that taurine deficiency does not impact energy metabolism. Heart taurine efflux was absent and ventricular muscle osmolality was 40 mOsmol kg-1 22 higher in TD brook char following thermal stress. Swelling and decreased ventricular compliance likely impair diastolic filling to constrain stroke volume in TD fish. The adrenaline sensitivity of cardiac contractility and the regulation of intracellular pH in brain and liver were also impacted in TD brook char. Taurine efflux appears necessary to counteract the hydrodynamic impact of activating anaerobic metabolism and this process may limit heart function under acute thermal stress.

title: Electron microprobe analyses of diffusion profiles in basaltic melt during anhydrite dissolution

description: Electron microprobe analyses of diffusion profiles in basaltic melt during anhydrite dissolution. The experiments and analyses were performed by Raven Polk and form the basis for her M.Sc. thesis at McGill. Abstract from the thesis: "We measured the diffusion of sulfur released from anhydrite during dissolution into a basaltic melt to quantify the rates of sulfur contamination. The diffusion experiments were used to measure anhydrite saturation to provide insight into the interaction between mafic melts and evaporitic units during the emplacement of the Siberian Traps. Diffusion experiments were performed using a dike composition from the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province and a mixture of compressed anhydrite powder. Experimental conditions range from 1250-1450 °C at 1 GPa and durations ranging from 600 to 3600 seconds. Diffusion values vary from 5.1 x 10-12 m2/s to 3.0 x 10-11 m2/s and results were used to create an Arrhenius equation below for the diffusion of sulfur within a tholeiitic basalt:D=6.21 x 10^(-6) exp⁡((-173.6±84.0)/RT). The sulfur peak position from wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) indicates that the dominant sulfur species in the melt is sulfate; the fraction of sulfur as sulfate in the melt S6+/Stotal, is ~ 0.60. Anhydrite solubility, the sulfur concentration at anhydrite saturation (SCAS), was determined from the measured sulfur concentrations in the melt and extrapolated along the diffusion profile to the anhydrite/melt interface. The SCAS ranges from 0.69 wt.% at 1450 °C to 1.28 wt.% at 1250 °C. There is no strong dependence of the SCAS on temperature.These diffusivity measurements are applied to a model that attempts to predict the rates of volatile uptake within a basaltic magmatic system; this model provides insight into sulfur storage and transport. The modeling results provide estimations of the amount of sulfur that can be transported in the melt and possibly released into the atmosphere and can help to determine the extent of interaction between the evaporites and magma."

title: Improving Palliative Care Services in a BC First Nation

description: A BC First Nation has been able to come up with innovative solutions to address the increased healthcare demands such as improving high speed internet access to facilitate access to telehealth. However, there are still significant barriers that remain that make it difficult for the community to provide its surging palliative care population with optimal care. Indigenous patients already experience unique social, cultural and economic barriers to accessing quality healthcare, including palliative care. The modern day effects of colonialism, Indian hospitals, and residential schools are demonstrated through the health inequities present in Indigenous communities. Indigenous patients are more likely to have a chronic health condition such as diabetes, cancer, and have complications sooner that leads them to pursue palliative care. For many Indigenous communities, death is not just a physical process, but a social and spiritual event. As a result, significant improvements need to be made to change the course of declining palliative care services. 

According to our community partner, the deterioration in care is due to many factors such as communication breakdowns, lack of integration of Indigenous cultural practices and insufficient staffing support. As many of these deficiencies in care can be resolved through improved integration of the various palliative care services available within the community, our project aims to bridge the gap between the different healthcare facilities. These include the local health department, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) palliative care team, the pharmacy and local practitioners.

title: iixsatimutilh - We Are Medicine For Eachother: A Traditional Medicines Program

description: Traditional medicines hold profound significance within numerous Indigenous communities, serving as integral components of cultural identity and holistic wellness practices. Traditional medicine assumes a central role in fostering the physician, mental, spiritual and emotional health and vitality of its members. An esteemed healer within the community, has devoted decades sharing her profound knowledge regarding the medicine that comes from the land, witnessing firsthand the transformative impact on individuals. She defines traditional medicine as a culmination of plants, healing, song, and dance.
She emphasizes that traditional medicine and healing is about “the energy, the working and the sharing that all community members partake in to rid themselves of illness.”
Much of this knowledge is passed down within the community by word-of-mouth, and thus a program is needed so that this wealth of knowledge can be taught and shared accurately and in a structured manner. She is dedicated to guiding learners on how to use traditional medicines and to understand when these medicines are the right option. Through her teachings, individuals are empowered to recognize the appropriateness of these remedies and engage in healing practices that resonate authentically with their cultural heritage and community traditions.

title: Data from: Robust phylogenomics settles controversies of classification and reveals evolution of male embolic complex of the Laufeia clade (Araneae, Salticidae, Euophryini)

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Laufeia&lt;/em&gt; clade is a peculiar lineage of euophryine jumping spiders showing elevated divergence of male genitalic structures, especially the embolic complex that directly interacts with female genitalia during sperm transfer. With the rapid growth of species discovery in the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia&lt;/em&gt; clade, the controversy in its classification has become a crucial problem. In this study, we applied a phylogenomic approach using ultra-conserved element data to infer the phylogeny of the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia&lt;/em&gt; clade with extensive taxon sampling. A comparative morphological study was also performed to evaluate diagnostic characters and understand the evolution of male embolic complex within the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia &lt;/em&gt;clade. The results provide a strongly supported phylogenetic framework and updated generic concepts for the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia&lt;/em&gt; clade. The updated genera within the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia &lt;/em&gt;clade were all recovered as monophyletic with well-defined synapomorphies identified through character mapping on the phylogeny. Ancestral state reconstruction analyses revealed that the Type I embolic complex was ancestral and gradually evolved into the Type II and III embolic complex, and that some shapes of embolus often evolved multiple times independently in different lineages of the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia&lt;/em&gt; clade. The shift from foliage dwelling to tree trunk dwelling at the common ancestor of the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia &lt;/em&gt;clade may have facilitated the divergent evolution of male embolic complex in the &lt;em&gt;Laufeia &lt;/em&gt;clade. This study provides a solid foundation for future studies of systematics and evolution of this group.&lt;/p&gt;
