La Società di Carità Materna. Politiche per “povere donne partorienti maritate” fra ancièn regime e periodo napoleonico
No full textLo studio ricostruisce sviluppo, operato e sistemi di controllo della Società di Carità Materna fondata in Francia nel 1788 e sostenuta dall’impero napoleonico in diversi territori, fra cui quelli ex-pontifici. Documentata negli Stati romani e in Toscana fra il 1812 e il 1814, l’istituzione assistenziale promossa dalle élites altoborghesi e nobiliari si rivolgeva alle donne partorienti sposate delle classi indigenti. Inserita appieno nel programma di centralizzazione statale e chiaro esempio di économie mixte d’assistance pubblica e privata, la breve esistenza della Società di Carità Materna nel quinquennio del Grand Empire si dimostra un interessante episodio di soccorso domiciliare rivolto a donne e famiglie in miseria ancora poco studiata

Recalling Through Belonging at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre
No full textThe Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) exemplifies how museums are becoming increasingly important nexuses for negotiating belonging and shaping social change. Instead of merely telling the history of Canadian Japanese immigration stories within the narrative of the Canadian nation, in its new permanent exhibition, Maru: Immigration Stories, the JCCC goes beyond nationalistic boundaries and showcases Japanese Canadians feeling a sense of belonging to the Japanese diaspora across the Americas. Through an analysis of Maru: Immigration Stories and an interview with the Heritage Manager of Archives, Collections, and Programming at the JCCC, this paper argues that the strong community the JCCC has fostered makes it a space for Japanese Canadians to claim cosmopolitan identities that transcend the limitations imposed on immigrant communities by narratives of nation
The Complex Interaction between Mental Health Services and the Lived Experience Identity
No full textNiigaaniiwin: Vision and Spirit of Our Journey
No full textIn 2018, we were awarded a one-year Tri-Council development grant that provided the needed resources and time to work together with community as we developed an application for a larger Indigenous health operating grant. In June 2019, a group of academics, community partners/researchers, and health professionals gathered to create a vision for a community-
based health research network. Understanding the importance of community voices and authentic participation, our team hosted a gathering for community members interested in Indigenous health and seeing this proposed health research network become a reality in northern Ontario.
As we prepared for our journey towards community-driven research, we asked community gathering participants to add their expertise, voice, and vision to these objectives:
Build upon Indigenous health research that is led by communities through funding, connecting, and/or supporting community-based and community-partnered health research.
Honour our Indigenous ways of knowing and being so that Indigenous health researchers, students, and organizations can do their work in a good way and feel safe doing so.
Support community-based researchers and graduate students with learning opportunities and connect them to mentors.
Share knowledge and be able to give back to communities in a way that reflects their needs and not the needs of the college/university.
This visioning process brought forth a holistic image of structure, Elders as data keepers, land, language, relationships, youth involvement, the protection of Indigenous knowledges, land-based education, researcher training, addressing power imbalances, mentorship, community involvement, university connections, shifting perspectives, reciprocal sharing, data governance, Indigenous data sovereignty, sharing with respect, directory of experts, and importance of identity. These were all identified by community participants as areas that are important when working within Indigenous health research.
Upon the initial announcement of unsuccessful funding, we found ourselves as a network with a responsibility to continue working within community and to further develop the seeds of this Indigenous health network. With the continued guidance of Elders H. Neil Monague and Mary Elliott, we refocused and have brought forth our Indigenous health collective: Niigaaniiwin. This grassroots collective is community-based with support from the academic community. We have gathered the knowledge, wisdom, and stories from the community and are moving forward, hoping to live up to the name gifted to our collective, which means “leading the way.
Cannabis Use and Mental Health Among Youth: Epidemiology, Population Interventions, and Health Promotion in Canada
No full textWhile cannabis is legalized in Canada, there are mental health risks associated with its use among youth aged 15-24. Youth in this age group are especially vulnerable to developing cannabis use disorders, and early initiation of cannabis use during adolescence is significantly associated with developing mental health conditions such as psychosis and schizophrenia. Public health strategies can be improved by complementing the current abstinence approach for non-users with a harm reduction approach for already-users to destigmatize help-seeking behaviour for those who require support. This narrative review highlights cannabis epidemiology, evaluates current public health strategies, and emphasizes cross-sectoral collaboration as a systemic mechanism for achieving health promotion among youth in Canada. Finally, the author provides commentary on the potential role of the COVID-19 pandemic in influencing trends and patterns related to cannabis use and health promotion campaigns
ADAR Enzymes as a Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis Cases Caused by Nonsense Mutations
No full textLiterature suggests that ADAR enzymes are capable of editing human RNA to treat genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations. Recently, scientists have been investigating the use of ADAR enzymes to treat cystic fibrosis cases that are caused by nonsense mutations in the CFTR gene. This scientific advancement has yet to be explained in lay terms, preventing the general public from understanding its significance. Thus, this paper seeks to explain the biological and scientific processes that ADAR enzymes act on in order to modify the UGA nonsense mutation in the CFTR gene. While the potential for off-target activity, cost, and accessibility barriers must be considered, ADAR enzymes present an innovative therapy for individuals living with cystic fibrosis. Further research should focus on the clinical application of ADAR enzymes in individuals with the UGA nonsense mutation in the CFTR gene
