CANADA’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE RESOLUTION OF THE DARFUR, SUDAN’S CONFLICT
Ashley Soleski(Ashley Soleski ),Amal Madibbo(Amal Madibbo ) 한국캐나다학회 2010 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.16 No.1·2
The ongoing conflict in Darfur that has erupted in 2003 between the central government and rebel groups has resulted in large-scale atrocities, killing and displacement of civilians. It has been defined as an ethnic cleansing as well as the first genocide of the twenty-first century. This article explores the role that the international community plays in the resolution of the conflict. Through the use of qualitative methods of semi structured interviewed and analysis of secondary sources, this article particularly reveals the contribution of Canada to the resolution of the conflict through the activities of its government, Non-Governmental Organizations and grassroots organizations. Although much has been done to assist the people of Darfur, it can be argued that more should be done to ensure lasting peace. This can be achieved in the near future because as violence continues to unfold in Darfur, the role of Canada will continue to be crucial to help to foster peace in the coming years.
Ashley Wabnitz,Marc Chimowitz 대한뇌졸중학회 2017 Journal of stroke Vol.19 No.3
Although there is an intuitive appeal to treat symptomatic stenotic intracranial arteries with endovascular therapies such as angioplasty and stenting, current data from randomized trials show intensive medical therapy is far superior for preventing stroke. This is in large part due to the high risk of peri-procedural stroke from angioplasty and stenting. If angioplasty and stenting is to emerge as a proven treatment for intracranial stenosis, endovascular techniques will need to become much safer, identification of patients with intracranial stenosis who are at particularly high risk of stroke despite intensive medical therapy will need to be targeted, and well-designed randomized trials will be necessary to show endovascular therapy is superior to medical therapy in these high-risk patients.

The critical element for sustainable growth in the construction industry is the development of alternative cements. A new technological process called geopolymerization provides an innovative solution, and the presence of aluminum and silicon oxides in fly ash has encouraged its use as a source material. Many previous investigations have involved curing the binder in a heated environment. To reduce energy consumption during the synthesis of geopolymers, the present study investigated the properties of ambient cured geopolymer mortar at early ages. An experimental program was executed to establish a relationship between the activator composition and the properties of geopolymer mortar in fresh and hardened states. Concentrations of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were ascertained that are advantageous for constructability and mechanical behavior. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were also used to characterize the material. Test results indicate that there is potential for the concrete industry to use fly ash based geopolymer as an alternative to portland cement.

Ashley L. Hartman,Paige E. Owings,Taylor Guttesman 대한무용/동작심리치료학회 2020 신체심리연구 Vol.6 No.1
This paper explores the integration of narrative therapy and art therapy practice in work with young adults on the autism spectrum. Group and individual cases will demonstrate how the narratives of these clients have the potential to be expressed in unique ways through the use of visual art media in connection with storytelling. It will outline group responses to diverse visual arts media, including collage, clay, and photography. This paper may inform future practices that integrate visual arts, narrative processes, storytelling, and other expressive therapies in work with this population.
Transforming Social Studies Teacher Education : Teaching Civics to Adult English Language Learners

As social studies teacher educators we have a responsibility to prepare future teachers who are globally aware, culturally and linguistically responsive, and pedagogically reflective. This study seeks to better understand how a collaborative practicum experience with a local immigrant English/Civics community program is preparing pre-service social studies teachers (PSSTs) for their future work with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) secondary school students by asking the following question: [How] does the practicum experience develop pre-service teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills for becoming globally aware and culturally and linguistically responsive educators? Using a lens of global mindedness and culturally and linguistically relevant pedagogy, we analyzed and interpreted PSSTs reflections. Findings revealed that PSSTs experienced significant changes in their professional and personal growth.
Urine Proteomics in the Era of Mass Spectrometry
Ashley Beasley-Green 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2016 International Neurourology Journal Vol.20 No.S1
With the technological advances of mass spectrometry (MS)-based platforms, clinical proteomics is one of the most rapidly growing areas in biomedical research. Urine proteomics has become a popular subdiscipline of clinical proteomics because it is an ideal source for the discovery of noninvasive disease biomarkers. The urine proteome offers a comprehensive view of the local and systemic physiology since the proteome is primarily composed of proteins/peptides from the kidneys and plasma. The emergence of MS-based proteomic platforms as prominent bioanalytical tools in clinical applications has enhanced the identification of protein-based urinary biomarkers. This review highlights the characteristics of urine that make it an attractive biofluid for biomarker discovery and the impact of MS-based technologies on the clinical assessment of urinary protein biomarkers.

Consumption of fruits reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease; however, very few studies have investigated the effect of fruit consumption in overweight and obese children. We examined whether consuming dried apple as a snack is a practical solution for weight loss and improves body composition and metabolic markers. Thirty-eight overweight or obese children aged 10 to 16 years were randomly assigned to one of two groups consuming twice daily 120 kcal serving per day of either dried apple or a control snack (muffin) for 8 weeks. Body weight, height, waist circumference, and body composition were determined during an initial visit and after 8 weeks of intervention. Blood samples were collected to measure serum concentrations of blood lipids, glucose, insulin, proinsulin, total adiponectin, and C-reactive protein, as well as total antioxidant capacity and activity of glutathione peroxidase. Body weight increased in the muffin group (P = .01). BodPod and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry showed that fat-free mass increased (P < .05) only in the muffin group. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration increased (P = .04) after the 8-week treatment within the apple group. Overall, minor differences were detected in growing children who consumed snacks of either dried apples or muffins with similar macronutrient profiles for 8 weeks. Future research should evaluate the effects of consuming fresh apples that include the peel.
Management of hepatic artery aneurysm: A case series

Hepatic artery aneurysms are rare, but their diagnosis is important because of high mortality and complications. Common risk factors for developing these aneurysms include hypertension, vascular disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, tobacco use, autoimmune diseases, and previous transplantation. Frequent imaging for trauma and tumor surveillance has increased the incidence of naive hepatic aneurysms. These aneurysms can be difficult to manage, and it can be challenging to decide the correct treatment modality for the patient. Hereby, we present four cases of hepatic artery aneurysm and discuss various treatment options. Patient 1 suffered from a proper and right hepatic artery aneurysm discovered incidentally; repaired with an endovascular intervention later complicated by an endoleak which was further managed by another stenting. Patient 2 had a common hepatic artery aneurysm followed with serial imaging without any intervention. Patient 3 had a hepatic artery aneurysm and liver mass diagnosed concurrently. The patient underwent an open surgical repair of his aneurysm with graft and liver resection which was complicated later with rupture of aneurysm followed by surgical bypass repair. Patient 4 suffered from a large hepatic artery aneurysm causing bile duct compression. Her aneurysm was repaired open with splenic artery grafting. Patients were managed from careful observation to surgery with different outcomes.

Vibrio vulnificus, a Gram-negative bacterium found in estuarine waters, is responsible for over 95%of all seafood-related deaths in the United States. As a result of a temperature downshift to 5oC, this organism enters the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. Changes in the membrane fatty acid (FA) composition of V. vulnificus may be a contributing factor to the ability of this organism to enter into and survive in the VBNC state. This hypothesis was tested by incubating the organism at 5oC in artificial sea water and analyzing the cells’ FAs during the initial hours of temperature and nutrient downshift. Prior to downshift, the predominant FAs were 16:0, 16:1 and 18:0. During the first four hours of downshift, statistically significant changes occurred in 15:0, 16:1, 16:0, 17:0, and 18:0. These results indicate that changes in FA composition occur prior to entry of V. vulnificus into the VBNC state, suggesting that the ability to maintain membrane fluidity may be a factor in this physiological response. Cells in which fatty acid synthesis was inhibited did not survive, indicating that active fatty acid metabolism is essential for entry of cells into the VBNC state.
