Streetwise Vaccination? Bio-Politics Downtown Montreal

Julie Laplante(Julie Laplante ),Julie Bruneau(Julie Bruneau ) 한국캐나다학회 2011 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.17 No.1

The research here presented was initiated to understand how a marginal population would best comply to a foreseen vaccination campaign against hepatitis C virus (HCV). More interestingly it became about understanding broader perceptions of the role of vaccines, in particular the views of injecting drug users (IDUs) considered most at risk of HCV. We also consulted humanitarians, health professionals and scientists who partake in implementing these bio-politics. Our multi-sited ethnography is set in various streets, clinics and laboratories downtown Montreal (Canada). The legitimacy of the vaccine as able to provide universal immunity shows to rely on varying concepts of the body, disease and most of all on different concerns about ‘what really matters’.

The ‘Aceh Method’: archiving the endangered languages of vernacular architecture

Julie Nichols,Kyra Wood,Darren Fong,Susan Avey,Cut Dewi,Pudentia MPSS 국립민속박물관 2020 International Journal of Intangible Heritage Vol.15 No.1

This paper reviews the significance and practical application of the ‘Aceh Method’. The Aceh Method is a multi-modal approach to the documenting and archiving of various forms of vernacular architecture. It is currently being trialled in Aceh and Bali, and has the potential for application to a broad range of built cultural heritage contexts. The paper provides a literature review to establish the background, definitions and significance of the method. It likens some of the aims and challenges of this approach to the complex activity of recording a rare local dialect or an endangered language. Through this lens, and through the contribution of notes on rewards and challenges from workers in the field, the paper outlines the application of the Method in post-disaster archiving activities in Aceh where most archives have been lost, and its application for mitigating the loss of information in the face of rapid urban development in Bali. The literature review and analysis of the pilot studies so far suggest the Aceh Method provides a conceptual as well as a practical response to post-disaster loss and the mitigation of that loss in the documentation of everyday vernacular architecture in Aceh. However, the methodology in its current form requires revision for its use in Bali. Processes of documenting vernacular architecture appear to require nuanced and ethical responsibility similar to that needed for documenting an endangered language, and the insight from this interdisciplinary review offers another means of interpreting complex vernacular environments.

The Domestication of Authority; or In and Out of Mansfield Park

Julie Choi 19세기영어권문학회 2008 19세기 영어권 문학 Vol.12 No.1

In the figure of Fanny Price, the heroine of Mansfield Park, Austen explores what becomes of a world that is re-ordered through the self-effacing but sterling point of view of the weakest female character. Fanny is characterized by deprivation within a world of wealth and tradition rapidly being overturned by modern and cosmopolitan values. This paper investigates the process of authorization of Fanny. It attempts to show how the heroine sees her world, and more importantly, how silent observation is registered through the technique called “free indirect discourse.” The subjective depth Fanny’s gaze discloses and the author’s configuration of it as a form of alternative authority signal new possibilities for female authority in the novel and in the world of Mansfield Park. Following Michael McKeon’s recent work on rethinking the nature of public and private in modern culture, we read Mansfield Park as charting the devolution of public authority of Sir Bertram to the domestic authority of Fanny Price. In the process, we examine what it means to be in and out of Mansfield Park.

Acting out Freedom: Mansfield Park and the World Interior of Capital

( Julie Choi ) 한국영미문학페미니즘학회 2018 영미문학페미니즘 Vol.26 No.1

Mansfield Park is the most global novel in the Jane Austen oeuvre, not only because it openly exposes its connections to the terrestrial globe through the problematic Antigua estates of Sir Thomas Bertram, but also because of the worldly concerns of its heroine. Fanny is the only one interested in her uncle’s business in Antigua, the other backdrop to the pre-eminently English country house. The domestic values that would be apotheosized in Victorian culture were coming into their own in the idea of home, a sanitized and civilized domestic interior distinct from the unruly and savage exterior. The very definition of the interior depended on a world outside, hence my adoption of Peter Sloterdijk’s conception of “the world interior of capital” to chart my own reading of the newly interiorized home within the context of global colonial rule. This home would be enriched by the rich and exotic spoils of the “world” while remaining strictly separated from it. Conceptions of action, subjectivity, and freedom, all political markers of modernity, are inevitably transformed by what happens in the world of globalization. The contrast between the “strong, manly, spirited” efforts of the masculine versus her own “little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory on which I work with so fine a Brush” is more telling than one might think. Ivory travelled on the same ships as slaves in the triangular trade. My paper seeks to show how action is gendered and domesticated for the smooth functioning of the world interior of capital.

The Effect of Urban Expansion in Metro Manila on the Southwest Monsoon Rainfall

Julie Mae Dado,Gemma Teresa Narisma 한국기상학회 2022 Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences Vol.58 No.1

Model simulations of historical climate changes often do not take into account the climatic effects of changes in land use. Modifications in land cover such as urbanization, affect the partitioning of the water and energy balances, which in turn influences temperature and rainfall magnitudes and patterns. The local climate impacts of major urban expansion in metropolitan Manila (Metro Manila) in the Philippines is examined, particularly during the peak of the Southwest monsoon (SWM) rainfall season from July to September. MM5 is used to perform an ensemble simulation of experiments consisting of three-month runs for ten different years using two land cover scenarios representative of the urban cover of Metro Manila in 1972 and its expanded urban area in 2001. Results show that the SWM rainfall may be enhanced by up to 20% due to extensive urban growth. Comparison of model results with observation data indicates that without urban expansion, rainfall increases only by about 17%. When expanded urban impacts are included, the modeled increase in rainfall is about 29%, which is much closer to the observed value. This study therefore illustrates the significance of incorporating land use changes together with CO2 changes in climatic change modeling especially at the scale of local impacts.

Pro-x Groups

Julie C. Jones 경북대학교 자연과학대학 수학과 2004 Kyungpook mathematical journal Vol.44 No.1

Montgomery and Zippin defined a group G to be approximated by Lie groups if every neighborhood of the identity contains an invariant subgroup H such that G=H is isomorphic to a Lie group. Bagley, Wu, and Yang defined a pro-Lie group, which is similar to Montgomery and Zippin's definition of being approximated by Lie groups. Covingtond defined a protopological group as a group G satisfying the condition that every neighborhood of the identity contain a normal subgroup N such that G=N is a topological group.In this paper, we examine these ideas from a categorical point of view. We define a pro-x group as a group G satisfying the condition that every neighborhood of the identity containa normal subgroup N such that G=N has property x.

Purpose Anal fistula is a common condition in proctology, usually requiring surgical treatment. Few risk factors have been clearly identified based on solid evidence. Our research objective was to determine whether history of anal surgery was a risk factor for subsequent anal fistula. Methods We conducted a case-control study from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013 in our tertiary center, comprising 280 cases that underwent surgery for anal fistula and 123 control patients seeking a consultation for upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease were excluded. For both cases and controls, the following variables were recorded: sex, any prior anal surgery, diabetes mellitus, infection with human immunodeficiency virus, and smoking status. For each variable, confidence interval and odds ratio (OR) were calculated. Results In univariate analysis, male sex (73.2% vs. 31.7%, P < 0.0001), active smoking (38.1% vs. 22%, P = 0.0015), and prior anal surgery (16.0% vs. 4.1%, P = 0.0008) were associated with higher risk of anal fistula. In multivariate analysis, only male sex (OR, 5.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.42 to 9.10; P < 0.0001) and previous anal surgery (OR, 4.48; 95% CI, 1.79 to 13.7; P = 0.0008) remained independently associated with anal fistula occurrence. Conclusion The epidemiology of anal fistula is poorly assessed despite the high frequency at which it is diagnosed. Our findings suggest that history of any kind of anal surgery is a risk factor for further onset of anal fistula. Surgeons and patients must be informed of this issue.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake-Inhibitors for Symptom-Based Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorders in Older Adults: An International Delphi Study

Julie Schulkens,Nina Bergs,Theo Ingenhoven,Erlene Rosowsky,Sebastiaan van Alphen,Sjacko Sobczak 대한정신약물학회 2021 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.19 No.1

Objective: International guidelines on symptom-based treatment of borderline personality disorders (BPD) in older adults are lacking. The number of older adults (≥ 65 years) with borderline personality disorder is rising. Effectiveness of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) on symptoms of BPD has only been investigated in younger adults and results are ambiguous. During life, serotonergic function changes, which can influence the indication and effectiveness of SSRIs in older adults with BPD. Aim of this study is to reach consensus on the suitability of SSRIs for the treatment of older adults with BPD. Methods: A Delphi study was conducted among eighteen international experts. In three successive rounds, a total of 16 statements addressing the treatment with SSRI’s in older adults with BPD were assessed. Consensus on specific statements was reached if at least two-third of these experts agreed. Results: Consensus was reached on 11 statements related to the indication and effectiveness of SSRIs in the treatment of older adults with BPD. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a valuable role for SSRIs in the treatment of affective instability, and to a lesser extent impulsive behavior, in older adults with BPD. Sertraline or citalopram are suggested to be the first-choice medication but should be prescribed with some caution. Treatment recommendations have been suggested (presented in a flowchart), but still have to be investigated in clinical practice.
