Foreign bodies: a conversation between Yasmin Gunaratnam and Ali Eisa
Get PDFThis text is the result of several online conversations and an a-synchronous shared file. A process taking nearly two years. The incremental pace and long stretches of silence were invariably shaped by our struggles with workload, while joining industrial actions taken by the UK’s University and College Union over equitable pay, working conditions and pensions. Despite the runaway marketisation of university life, our exchanges were something of a shelter, holding those lovely moments that mark scholarly camaraderie – energising, provocative, dimly lit. As we are both interested in drawing political commitments into formats, we have opted for a conversation rather an interview, which feels like a more democratising form.

Investigation of Oxidation Reaction Products of 2-Phenylethanol Using Synchrotron Photoionization
No full textA photolytically Cl-initiated oxidation reaction of 2-phenylethanol (2PE) was carried out at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Using the multiplex photoionization mass spectrometer, coupled with the tunable vacuum ultraviolet radiation of the ALS, data were collected at low pressure (4-6 Torr) and temperature (298-550 K) regimes. Data analysis was performed via characterization of the reaction species photoionization spectra and kinetic traces. Products and reaction pathways are also computed using the CBS-QB3 composite method. The present results suggest primary products m/ z = 30 (formaldehyde), 106 (benzaldehyde), and 120 (phenylacetaldehyde) at 298 K, and m/ z = 120 (phenylacetaldehyde) at 550 K. Branching fractions at room temperature are 27 ± 6.5% for formaldehyde, 24 ± 4.5% for benzaldehyde, and 25 ± 5.8% for phenylacetaldehyde and 60 ± 14% for phenylacetaldehyde at 550 K

Molecular characterization of novel soybean-associated viruses identified by high-throughput sequencing
Get PDFHigh-throughput sequencing of mRNA from soybean leaf samples collected from North Dakota and Illinois soybean fields revealed the presence of two novel soybean-associated viruses. The first virus has a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome consisting of 8,693 nt that contains two large open reading frames (ORFs). The predicted amino acid sequence of the first ORF showed similarity to structural proteins, of members of the invertebrate-infecting Dicistroviridae and the sequence of the second ORF which is a nonstructural proteins lack affinity to other virus sequences available in GenBank. The presence of separate ORFs for the structural and nonstructural proteins was similar to members of the family Dicistroviridae, but the order of the two ORFs in the new virus was opposite to that of the family Dicistroviridae. Because of the virus' unique genome organization and the lack of strong phylogenetic association with previously described virus families, the soybean-associated virus may represent a novel virus family. The second virus also has a single stranded positive sense RNA genome, but has two genomic segments. The larger segment (RNA1), which is 8,208 nt long, encodes the replication-related proteins while the smaller segment (RNA2), which is 5,806 nt long, encodes the structural and movement proteins. Both the segments have a very long 3' untranslated regions with lengths of more than 1,550 nt. The predicted amino acid sequences for both the segments were closely related to members of subgroup C of the genus Nepovirus.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Tuba Yasmin, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-13 at 22:10.The student, Tuba Yasmin, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-13 at 22:26.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-21 at 16:03.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9217 on 2016-07-07 at 14:16:42Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T21:14:42Z (GMT).

Girl power and the pill: Unpacking web-based marketing for Alesse and Yasmin
No full textThe chapter, "Girl power and the pill: Unpacking web-based marketing for Alesse and Yasmin" was written by Alison M. Thomas (Douglas College Faculty). Interrogating and integrating the various aspects of women's reproductive lives to expose the political dimensions of reproduction.
Ideas of choice and rights traditionally dominate discussions concerning reproduction and gender politics. Fertile Ground argues that the current political climate in Canada necessitates a broader understanding of the links between the politics of reproduction, the state, and gender relations.
Three major themes are developed in the book: women's lived experiences, the role of the state in reproductive politics, and discourses around reproduction. Contributors examine unequal access to in vitro fertilization treatments depending upon class, race, age, disability, and health status; critique Health Canada's adherence to a medical model of breastfeeding; analyze marketing campaigns for birth-control products; and recount the Aamjiwnaang First Nation's experience of seeking recognition for reproductive health concerns. Fertile Ground links reproduction to marginalization, contestation, and the state in order to illuminate the continuity of reproductive moments and their implications for identity, activism, policy formation, and further scholarship.
A timely and multidisciplinary account of reproduction and gender politics in Canada, Fertile Ground will interest academics, activists, and professionals involved in the areas of women’s studies, politics, sociology, and public health. -- From publisher description.book chapterPublished

Anna Bondestam som arbetarförfattare. En marknadsförings- och receptionsanalys
No full textYasmin Nyqvist, Department of Comparative Literature, Åbo Akademi University Anna Bondestam as a Working-Class Writer. A Marketing and Reception Analysis (Anna Bondestam som arbetarförfattare. En marknadsförings- och receptionsanalys) In the contemporary history of literature, the Finland-Swedish author, historian, and social democratic activist Anna Bondestam (1907–1995) is considered one of the few and foremost depicters of the Finland-Swedish working class. Even though this position might have seemed undisputable at the end of Bondestam’s career, with her having written several novels from a working-class perspective and five historic books about the Finland-Swedish working-class movement, this article addresses and analyzes the quite different official images of the author in the Finland-Swedish, Finnish-speaking and Swedish public spheres in the first half of her career in the 1940s and 50s. Through a study of publishing house marketing for her novel Lågt i tak (1944) along with analyses of the critical reception of three of her novels set in a working-class environment — Lågt i tak, Klyftan (1947) and Vägen till staden (1957) — the article shows the ways in which Bondestam, when it comes to the working-class perspective and the political message of her work, was marketed and perceived quite differently at the time, depending on cultural and national contexts. On the one hand, the article sheds light on how Bondestam was constructed as a working-class author over time and, on the other, shows the different ways the topic was handled by the cultural establishments in Sweden and among the Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking Finns respectively

Diagnosis in women suspected of pulmonary embolism at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital – a retrospective review
No full textThis is a research report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, to the Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Clinical Medicine, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2023.Pulmonary embolism accounts for 3.6% of maternal deaths in South Africa and 9.2% of all pregnancy-related deaths in the United States. This cross-sectional descriptive study sought to identify clinical factors and investigations used in pregnant or postpartum women who presented with suspected pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is often one of the conditions that are considered in the differential diagnosis of women attending/admitted at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital Obstetric High Care Unit. Women investigated with Computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) and/or Ventilation/perfusion (VQ) scans from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, were included. STATA version 14.2 was used for data analysis of the variables. The prevalence of PE was 9.4%. The mean age was 28.2 years (SD+-5.8). Most women, 126 (69.6%), were post-partum and 10 (7.9%) of those diagnosed and treated for PE. There were 81.7% women were delivered by caesarean section and 7.7% of them diagnosed with PE. Hundred (55.2%) women who had a CTPA or VQ scan were symptomatic, and the asymptomatic women had other clinical features suspicious of PE including persistent tachycardia of unknown cause. This was one of the indications for investigation in 159 (87.8%) women. Five (2.8%) women were diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on compressions ultrasound (CUS). Of the 181 scans (CTPA and VQ) done, 12 reports had features suggestive of Pulmonary Embolism. Pulmonary embolism is a rare, but severe condition. It is therefore important to diagnose and treat appropriately.MMM202
