Santé sexuelle, biopouvoir et hétéronormativité : les enjeux d’une médicalisation de l’expérience des infi rmières cliniciennes dans un rôle de prescripteur en santé publique au Québec
Get PDFLes infirmières cliniciennes québécoises sont parmi les premières à avoir acquis le droit de prescrire au Canada. Celles qui œuvrent en santé sexuelle semblent avoir été cantonnées dans une pratique biomédicale hétéronormative. L’objectif de l’étude était de faire ressortir les limites de ce nouveau rôle relativement à la médicalisation et l’homogénéisation de leur pratique jugée hétéronormative. Le cadre théorique et conceptuel de la santé sexuelle repose sur le biopouvoir et l’hétéronormativité. Cette recherche qualitative utilisant une approche en phénoménologie herméneutique a été réalisée à l’aide d’entrevues semi-dirigées auprès de neuf (N=9) infirmières prescriptrices de la région des Laurentides au Québec. Les résultats montrent bien que la quête d’une approche biomédicale pour assurer la pratique s’avère liée à l’expression d’un biopouvoir et que le travail auprès de populations symptomatiques, plus complexe et laissé aux médecins, accentue l’homogénéisation de la patientèle (jeune, blanche, hétérosexuelle) révélant une certaine hétéronormativité de la pratique infirmière
An Insecure North? The Absence of Inuit Voice in Canadian Defence Policy
Get PDFState actors are becoming increasingly interested in the economic potential and security dynamics of the Arctic space as the effects of global climatic change rapidly shape the world’s polar spaces. National governments have responded to these changing dynamics by tailoring their defence policies to reflect what they believe to be the most pressing challenges to their presence in the region. This article asks; how is the north framed and whose voices are reflected in Canadian defence policy? It concludes that the conventional framing of Canada’s north remains deeply influenced by the idealized and imagined narratives of Canadian governance with little inclusion of disparate voices.
By examining the defence white papers of prime ministers Chretien, Martin, Harper, and Trudeau, this article determines that Canadian Arctic security discourse has increased significantly in the post-Cold War era while the region’s Inuit population remain external to its dialogue. This absence of Indigenous voice in Canadian defence policy reflects an unsustainable Eurocentric viewing of the North that is unable to adequately address the region’s changing dynamics. As such, Canada’s future defence policy must acknowledge the distinct and transnational value of Inuit traditional knowledge to overcome the limitations of conventional trans-Atlantic policy frameworks
Ketogenic and High-Carbohydrate Diets in Cyclists and Triathletes: Performance Indicators and Methodological Considerations From a Pilot Study
No full textEndurance athletes frequently employ nutritional strategies to enhance performance. While professional organizations recommend high carbohydrate (HC) diets to maximize performance, many athletes, and researchers have recently shown renewed interest in the ketogenic diet (KD) in hopes to promote “fat adaptation”, which would allow athletes to make use of the essentially unlimited energy resources from stored body fat. This would circumvent one fatigue mechanism, the depletion of muscle glycogen stores, that has been considered central to performance outcomes in endurance events. The present study investigated the effects of participants’ habitual diet (HD), HC, and KD on endurance performance in a 30-km simulated cycling time trial (TT), physiological responses during the TT, and muscle session fuel percentile (SFP) before and after the TT using ultrasonic imaging. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, data collection ceased after only six recreational cyclists and triathletes (f = 4, m = 6; age: 37.2 ± 12.2; VO2max: 46.8 ± 6.8 ml/kg/min; weekly cycling distance: 225.3 ± 64.2 km). Due to the small sample size, we do not report inferential statistics for our primary outcome measure, cycling performance. Participants completed the KD at the lowest power output. Oxygen consumption (V̇O2), heart rate (HR), and perceived exertion (RPE) during the TT were similar in all conditions. FATox rates were highest in the KD condition and lowest in the HC condition. SFP was lower during KD compared with HD and lower following the TT compared with fasted resting values across all conditions. We discuss methodological considerations into the use of exercise equipment, nutritional interventions, and statistical analysis strategies for study designs like the present. Further research is needed to assess the impact of HC and KD on TT performance in this population.
