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.

Optimization of antioxidant and skin-whitening materials production from Tenebrio molitor (mealworm) using response surface methodology

Julie Jae Hyunsoo Kim,Kyoung Seob Kim 한국응용곤충학회 2018 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2018 No.04

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in animal melanogenic pathway that is the rate-limiting step for the production of melanin. Several synthetic and naturally occurring tyrosinase inhibitors have been studied for skin whitening, the development of natural agents is becoming more important due to the disadvantages of synthetics such as high cytotoxicity, insufficient penetration power, and low activity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the polyphenols, antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition activity of mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) extract and optimization of extraction condition using statically-based optimization. The results showed that extraction temperature of 92.0°C, extraction time of 36.7 min, and ethanol concentration of 79.5% provided the maximum levels of compounds of 5.69 mg GAE/g DW, tyrosinase inhibition of 78.8%, and radical scavenging activity of 100.8 μg/ml in the validation experiment.

English Nature: Planting and Gardening in Jane Austen

( Julie Choi ) 한국18세기영문학회 2018 18세기영문학 Vol.15 No.1

The meaning of the garden is rich and varied. As respite from the world, the locus ameonus is replete with significance, tending to both innocence and pleasure, Eden and Elysium. In this essay I meander through Austen’s works to thread together themes of planting and gardening to piece together her views on beauty and science, consumption and connoisseurship, fashion and trade, taste and greed as they cross and intersect in the fascination and love for the bounties of nature, newly expanded to include thousands of new plants, flowers, trees, and fruit from the colonies. The love of gardens united a growing sector of the English public, giving rise to that particular national obsession, the English Garden, in a period that was otherwise divided in so many ways. The large theme of this paper will be to chart the modern recreation of nature as vraisemblance at the heart of the English landscape gardening movement that can be characterized in Jean Baurdrillard’s terms as simulacrum. Austen is keenly aware and wary of the effort and capital that necessarily accompanied the transformation of land into landscape. The English garden entered the domestic world of the interior, both as the verdure of England and the culture of England, protected from the torrid sun of other places. This is the “Nature” celebrated by Fanny from within the windows looking out onto the garden at Mansfield Park, built on sugar money from West Indian plantations. I discuss the topic of exotic treasures like pineapples that heighten the pleasures of home and the rich and dramatic new ideal of the picturesque flower garden, before returning to the topic of the picturesque natural landscape. The final section is a meditation on the parable of the house built on sand containing Austen’s last earthly thoughts on the topic of engineering Nature in the unfinished Sanditon.

Impact of functional inorganic nanotubes f‑INTs‑WS2 on hemolysis, platelet function and coagulation

Julie Laloy,Hélène Haguet,Lutfiye Alpan,Daniel Raichman,Jean‑Michel Dogné,Jean‑Paul Lellouche 나노기술연구협의회 2018 Nano Convergence Vol.5 No.31

Inorganic transition metal dichalcogenide nanostructures are interesting for several biomedical applications such as coating for medical devices (e.g. endodontic files, catheter stents) and reinforcement of scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, their impact on human blood is unknown. A unique nanomaterial surface-engineering chemical methodology was used to fabricate functional polyacidic polyCOOH inorganic nanotubes of tungsten disulfide towards covalent binding of any desired molecule/organic species via chemical activation/reactivity of this former polyCOOH shell. The impact of these nanotubes on hemolysis, platelet aggregation and blood coagulation has been assessed using spectrophotometric measurement, light transmission aggregometry and thrombin generation assays. The functionalized nanotubes do not induce hemolysis but decrease platelet aggregation and induce coagulation through intrinsic pathway activation. The functional nanotubes were found to be more thrombogenic than the non-functional ones, suggesting lower hemocompatibility and increased thrombotic risk with functionalized tungsten disulfide nanotubes. These functionalized nanotubes should be used with caution in blood-contacting devices.

An Overview of Fifty Years of Appropriate Technology Research Using Bibliometric Analysis

Julie Anne Glasscock 적정기술학회 2022 적정기술학회지(Journal of Appropriate Technology) Vol.8 No.1

Appropriate technology (AT) has developed from an economic theory in the early 1970s into a broad multidisciplinary research methodology that is incorporated into many sustainable development fields. AT is an important tool in the fight against current global challenges, such as climate change and poverty. Hence, a bibliometric analysis of the AT research field over the last fifty years was performed to provide insights into the field and its current hot topics. Since the early 2000s, there has been a rapid increase in the number of papers and citations in the AT field, indicating that the AT methodology is increasingly applied in research. Over time, the fraction of single-author papers has decreased (and the number of authors per paper has increased), indicating that AT topics are attracting the interest of larger research groups. Although AT is often applied in developing countries, the most influential countries with respect to research were generally the English-speaking countries (e.g., USA, UK, and India), along with China, Germany, and Spain. This was attributed to English being the lingua franca of research, more than an accurate representation of the application of AT. A keyword analysis identified that economic development, environment, health, and agriculture were the most popular AT topics over the last fifty years. Since 2005, topics such as computing and telemedicine began increasing in popularity, while in the past three years, automation-and-control, and smart-city topics have emerged. Bibliometric analysis is a valuable research tool for providing insight into the overall AT field.
