Barriers and potential solutions to mental healthcare access for youth refugees and asylum seekers
Get PDFGlobally, over 82.4 million people were forcibly displaced in 2020, about 42% (35 million) of which are children and youth. Youth, aged 15 to 24, are highly susceptible to mental health difficulties, particularly those who are refugees and asylum seekers. Serious post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety symptoms have been seen in youth refugees and asylum seekers months after they have resettled in their host countries. Yet, they encounter numerous barriers to accessing mental health support. This infographic illustrates the preliminary findings of an integrative review conducted to determine the barriers to mental health access of youth refugees and asylum seekers as well as the potential solutions to these barriers. CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, and other relevant organizations‘ websites were searched for published and unpublished articles. Data from eligible articles were extracted and analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings from this review have the potential to inform future research, policy, and practice
Moving Towards Meaningful Change, One Uncomfortable Conversation at a Time
Get PDFThe concept of health equity in the management of the pandemic has captured the attention of many within the field of health services and policy research and has shaped the identity of a generation of young scholars. This commentary summarizes the work done by the Student Working Group of the Canadian Association of Health Services and Policy Research to meaningfully engage with the concept as part of a seminar series, as well as the limits of that work. As part of efforts to address those limits, the Student Working Group has joined forces with the Healthy Populations Journal to develop a special issue on health equity. We invite all trainees, patient partners, and knowledge users who are committed to moving the conversation on health equity forward to contribute to this special issue
Anthropological Attempts at Indigenous-Settler Relations
No full textAnthropology, similar to many social sciences, has been criticized for its coloniality, both historically and presently. Despite being \u27well-informed\u27 regarding Indigenous-settler relations, modern anthropologists often continue to (knowingly or unknowingly) exacerbate the unequal power structures of coloniality that make this method of research historically infamous. In this essay, I will attempt to demonstrate through varying examples by Simpson, Noble, and Liboiron, that while anthropologists do possess higher power when interacting with Indigenous communities and knowledge, there is a solution in sight. Using discussion of Indigenous-settler relations in micro and macro terms as well as examples from both Noble and Simpson‘s work, I attempt to prove that Liboiron‘s framework for anticolonial science is necessary for anthropology
“Moral Bonfires”: An Exploration of Book Burning in American Society
No full textThis article seeks to offer an introduction to book burning in American society. Firstly, it considers the use of fire as a method of destruction and its relation to freedom of speech and the American judicial system. It then seeks to unearth the reasons for book burning through an examination of a number of instances throughout American history. The phenomenon of book burning has been occurring worldwide for thousands of years, and as a longstanding tradition that has always drawn visceral reactions from spectators, it is still happening with alarming frequency. In America, book burning walks the fine line between censorship and free speech. It remains, however, an attack on knowledge and culture and is consequently a threat to the information management field. This paper, therefore, seeks to explore these occurrences from recent American history and discover why Americans have been, and are still burning books, in an attempt to better understand these attacks

Carbon cycling and redox chemistry in an anoxic marine basin, Bras d‘Or Lake, Nova Scotia
No full textMeasurements of oxygen, methane, pCO2, total dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, sulphide and nutrients were made in June, October and December 2017 in Whycocomagh Bay, a small marine basin at the western end of the Bras d‘Or Lake estuarine system in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Dissolved oxygen was absent in the deep basin, similar to observations made in the years 1974, 1995-1997, and 2009-2021. Profiles of total dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity were largely consistent with the sulphate reduction of particulate organic matter, having a Redfield stoichiometry of 106C:16N:1.6P. The concentration of dissolved methane ranged between 19-35 nmol L-1 (727-1147% saturation) above the thermocline, and reached 34.74 µmol L-1, (931,900% saturation) in the deep anoxic zone. The potential rate of microbial methane oxidation at the base of the oxycline, determined from an incubation experiment, was 0.34 µmol L-1 d-1, potentially acting to mitigate the flux of methane to the atmosphere. Deep water H2S concentrations ranged from 747 to 1,074 µmol L-1, more than a tenfold increase since the 1995-1997 study, with substantial increases also in ammonium and phosphate concentrations, likely as a result of eutrophication over the last two decades. Whycocomagh Bay presents an opportunity to study extreme marine redox chemistry at an easily accessible site.Keywords: Anoxic, methane, carbon cycle, carbon dioxid
Mené, Mené, Thecel, Upharsin : textes, images et énigmes chez Rembrandt et Butor
No full textDans un épisode saisissant du Livre de Daniel mieux connu sous le titre Le Festin de Balthazar, une main se met à écrire des mots cryptiques sur le mur d‘un palais babylonien. Cet article compare deux reprises de cette scène biblique : Le Festin de Balthazar de Rembrandt et L‘Emploi du temps de Michel Butor.Dans un premier temps, nous proposerons une analyse du tableau de Rembrandt que nous compléterons par celle de Michel Butor, qui pose de façon judicieuse le paradoxe entre le regard et l‘aveuglement dans l‘oeuvre du peintre. Puis, dans un second temps, nous verrons comment l‘épisode du Festin de Balthazar se déploie dans L‘Emploi du temps, car si la présence de certains épisodes de l‘intertexte biblique – Caïn et Abel, le mythe de Babel, l‘Apocalypse – a déjà été amplement explorée dans ce roman, l‘attention des chercheurs s‘est peu portée sur le Festin de Balthazar, épisode pourtant central, selon nous. En faisant donc une analyse détaillée de ces deux reprises du Festin de Balthazar, nous verrons que les frontières entre texte et image se brouillent lorsque les lettres divines dans ces oeuvres ne forment plus nécessairement des mots. In a gripping biblical episode in the Book of Daniel known as Belshazzar‘s Feast, a hand begins to write a cryptic message on the wall of a Babylonian palace. This article compares two reworkings of this biblical scene: Rembrandt‘s Belshazzar‘s Feast and Michel Butor‘s L‘Emploi du temps.In the first part of the article, I examine Rembrandt‘s Belshazzar‘s Feast in light of Butor‘s interpretation of Rembrandt‘s sight/blindness paradox. In the second part of the article, I then outline the numerous ways in which Belshazzar‘s Feast flourishes in Butor‘s own L‘Emploi du temps. While numerous researchers have highlighted the importance of biblical intertextualities in this novel – Cain and Abel, Babel, the Apocalypse – Belshazzar‘s Feast has been largely overlooked, despite being central to the text. Through a detailed analysis of both Rembrandt and Butor‘s representations of Belshazzar‘s Feast, I argue that, for both artists, the traditional distinctions between text and image blur when the mysterious and divine letters in this biblical scene cease to necessarily form words.
