Intravenous Magnesium Use During Surgery: An Evidence Based Practice Project: Preliminary Findings
No full textPain control in the postoperative period has long been a challenge for anesthesia providers and patients. Traditionally, opioids have been the primary treatment of post-surgical pain. However, with multimodal pain control growing in popularity, anesthetists now have a multitude of options to provide analgesia while also reducing opioid consumption. Intravenous magnesium is postulated to decrease pain by antagonizing the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Intravenous Magnesium administration is supported by current research evidence in reducing post-operative pain and opioid consumption when administered intra-operatively
Oxygen Desaturation in Obese Patients During Induction of General Anesthesia: Preliminary Findings
No full textObese patients undergoing surgery are at a higher risk of rapid desaturation and drop in arterial oxygen levels during induction of general anesthesia. Difficult mask ventilation, increased shunt, reduced functional residual capacity (FRC), and decreased safe apnea time related to obesity can make securing the airway a troublesome and lengthy process. Research evidence demonstrates the use of apneic oxygenation can prolong safe apnea time in patients with difficult airways and obesity

The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID
Addressing Extreme Heat in Spokane, WA
No full textJoin the Gonzaga Center for Climate, Society, and the Environment\u27s Climate Resilience Project and Gonzaga’s Environmental Studies Senior Capstone as they present the latest findings on extreme heat in Spokane. They will share results from their community science-driven heat mapping project, community survey on perceptions of extreme heat, and how to empower community resilience in the age of climate change
From Outsider to Outsider: A Study of Iranian Baha’ís’ Identity in Iran and the United States
Get PDFNegotiating one’s identity is a complex process that becomes complicated when a person is ascribed an outsider status because of any one identity. Iranian Baha’ís are a significantly understudied population who experience an outsider status, both in their home country where they are persecuted due to animus towards them by the government and religious leaders, and in the United States. They are persecuted in a range of ways, including through denial of education, name-calling, harassment, torture, and killing. Using data from 50 in-depth interviews with first-generation Iranian Baha’í immigrants, I discuss their experience of the denial of a national identity, the importance of their religious identity, and their development of a collective Baha’í identity in Iran. Then I explore their experiences in the United States, including navigating cultural differences between Baha’í immigrants and American Baha’ís, spiritual differences across countries, and differences in life experiences. The Baha’í immigrants’ narratives and experiences reaffirm and complicate our understandings of how religious, national, and cultural identities are negotiated
Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist
Get PDFUsing his book Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist as a jumping off point, Paul will explore the interplay of sustainability, environmentalism, faith and imagination. In his collection of essays, Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist, he discusses the disillusion that drove him from goals such as sustainability to a radical “dark ecology,” dedicated to preserving the wild for its own sake and how the operates from a perspective of enchantment and faith. About the speaker: Paul Kingsnorth is an English writer and thinker. He is a former deputy-editor of The Ecologist and a co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project. He lives in the west of Ireland. He has written over 10 books, countless essays and spoken across the world on environmental issues Early in life, he became involved in the Dongas road protest group at sites including Twyford Down, Solsbury Hill, and the M11 link road protest in east London. After chaining himself to a bridge alongside fifty others, Kingsnorth was arrested, an event that solidified the importance of protest for him. He has subsequently worked as commissioning editor for openDemocracy, as a publications editor for Greenpeace and, between 1999 and 2001, as deputy editor of The Ecologist. He was named one of Britain\u27s top ten troublemakers by the New Statesman magazine in 2001. In 2020, he was called England’s greatest living writer by Aris Roussinos. He was one of the founders of the Free West Papua Campaign, which campaigns for the secession of the provinces of Papua and West Papua from Indonesia, where Kingsnorth was made an honorary member of the Lani tribe in 2001
The Social Identity Affordance View: A Theory of Social Identities
Get PDFThis article proposes that social identities are best understood as a kind of affordance, a “social identity affordance.” Social identity affordances are possibilities for action and interaction between persons, within a social niche, based on perceived and self-perceived social group identification. First, the view presented captures and articulates the basic structure of social identities. Second, it explains the multifaceted interplay of such an item in the social field, including not only the complexity of the interpersonal dimensions, but also the multiplicity of registers in which social identities vibrate (ethical, political, psychological, geographical, affective, epistemic). Third, by doing good on (i) and (ii), the view makes social identities intelligible, helping preclude reductive misinterpretations of social identities, either subjective-only or public-only. The view has robust descriptive and explanatory power in concrete social contexts and retains the openness of a historically bound type of formation whose specific meanings change over time
